Boxers fighting for charity in Plainview A new crop of boxers who are fighting for a good cause will see who their opponent will be at the Carlyle At The Palace next Tuesday for the Long Island Fight for Charity (LIFFC,) main event. The 13th annual boxing for charity main event will take place on November 21st at the Hilton Long Island in Melville at 6 p.m. “Every year we have a new group boxers, businessmen and women from the boroughs and Long Island, who participate in this fundraising event to raise money for three separate charities,” said LIFFC Co-Founder, Jaime Austin. “Each boxer who enters commits

to raising funds for certain organizations on Long Island.” Money raised from the actual boxing main event which on November 21st will go to the Long Island Community Chest Organization, the Genesis Outreach Autism Center and Family Residences and Essential Enterprises (FREE.) The Long Island Community Chest Organization helps people who are experiencing a short term life altering event and a short term financial crisis. Austin said that each boxer who participates in the event takes their training seriously and works with a pro boxing coach to get into fight-

ing shape. “Each boxer trains four to six months leading up to the main event in November,” said Austin. “They get stronger and generally lose ten pounds while getting in better shape and in better health.” The boxer matchup event will take place from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m and will include a cocktail hour and reception. Tickets at the door will be $20 and all cocktails will be $10. Tickets will be $135 for the general public at the main event in Melville on November 21st and $250 for VIP.

The Town of Oyster Bay was part of sixteen communities across the Island that was awarded a state grant for the monitoring of so called ‘zombie houses.’ The State granted a total of $3.3 million for the abandoned and vacated properties which have not been foreclosed on by the banks. The zombie homes started to spread on Long Island after a tide of foreclosures stemming from the financial recession in 2007-2009. In a statement from New York Attorney General, Eric Schneiderman, he said that awards of $350,000 will go to the Towns of Brookhaven, Huntington and Smithtown and that the Towns of Oyster Bay and Islip would each receive a grant of a little over $349,000. Other grants ranged from $152,000 for the Village of Freeport, $100,000 for the Village of Valley stream and $90,000 for the City of Glen Cove. “The grants will help municipalities enforce housing codes, monitor vacant homes and make sure local lenders abide by local and state laws requiring them to maintain properties,” said the Attorney General. He added that zombie homes, “invite crime, threaten public safety and drive down the value of surrounding homes. The grants give communities the tools to eradicate them and to help families stay in their homes and not abandon them in the first place.” The grants are part of a statewide $13 million program funded from a $3.2 billion settlement that financial giant, Morgan Stanley struck with state and federal agencies earlier this year. The settlement stemmed from problems with mortgage-backed bonds and Attorney General Schneiderman helped to negotiate the accord. Town Councilman Chris Coschignano, who is the liaison to the Planning and Development Department, said that the Town is pleased to receive the maximum funds available to a municipality under this grant. “The funds will be used to address housing vacancy and blight by bolstering our Town’s capacity for housing code enforcement, for tracking and monitoring vacant properties, for legal enforcement, and to support the efforts of the Town to prevent future zombie homes by connecting homeowners to foreclosure prevention program,” said Coschignano.

Lee Road Elementary School student Ryan Ambrosino is coached by parent volunteer Danielle Famiglietti and Wantagh firefighter Al Rubinson on how to exit the fire district’s smoke house. Lee Road Elementary School students in the Levittown School District are now more prepared in the event of a fire in their home. During an assembly with Wantagh Fire Department Captain John Licata students in grades 3-5 learned that being proactive and prepared is the best deterrent to being injured during a fire. “It only takes four minutes for one spark to burn down a house,” Licata said. “So know what to do and act fast. Be proactive by making a family plan.”

Licata emphasized the importance of a family escape plan and the need to know two escape routes from the bedroom, as well as a family meeting place. During a video titled “Fire in Our House,” these messages were also reviewed, as well as the importance of getting low to the ground to avoid smoke inhalation. After the assembly, the students boarded the fire department’s smoke house, where they learned to “get low and go” and to safely exit a window.

Fishing Long Island waters

During a special presentation by I Fish New York representatives Bob McCormack and Francis McParland, Summit Lane fifth-grade students in Levittown learned about the varieties of fish that lurk within the salt and fresh waters on Long Island. The program, sponsored by the Department of Environmental Conservation, helped prepare the students for a boat trip on the Yankee III out of Captree State Park. The students learned the differences between the terms “predator” and “prey” and the fish that are classified under these categories. They also learned facts about the large-mouth bass, sunfish, striped sea bass (striper), fluke and sea robin and the lateral line organ that assists in their sensing prey in the open waters.

New Jewish Heritage Tours Span Far-Flung Locales BY KAREN RUBIN Tour operators from different backgrounds and focuses have introduced Jewish heritage tours that span far-flung locales, mirroring the Jewish Diaspora. Indeed, the Foundation for Remote Jewish Communities is now working with Pacific Delight Tours, best known for its tours to China, on a new series of Jewish interest tours; Ruth Behar, a Cuban-born Professor of Anthropology, is introducing a new tour in Cuba, and Context Travel, famous for its indepth walking tours, now offers 15 different Jewish history and culture tours in cities around the world, from a Jewish Buenos Aires tour to a knoshing tour of the Lower East Side, including a new tour in Vienna. Pacific Delight Launches Jewish Heritage Tours in Conjunction with Foundation for Remote Jewish Communities ‘India: My Second Home’ Kosher Itinerary Departs January 10, 2017 New York, NY - Pacific Delight Tours is teaming up with Rabbi Marvin Tokayer and the Foundation for Remote Jewish Communities (FRJC) to create a series of specialized Kosher Jewish interest tours. The program will launch with the India: My Second Home tour and will be expanded throughout Asia and other enticing global destinations where travelers can meet and learn about lesser known, yet thriving Jewish Diaspora communities.

Judenplatz, the historic Jewish Quarter of Vienna, Austria, has a museum, an archeological excavation of a Medieval synagogue, and Holocaust memorial. © 2016 Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com “In addition to an interest in viewing history Through Jewish Eyes™ with an insight into the fascinating remote Diaspora communities, travelers who observe kashrut (kosher guidelines) have specific dietary requirements which are not satisfied by typical tour programs,” said Rabbi Tokayer. “In order to keep kosher in distant places, we arrange visits to Jewish Community Centers with first-class

kosher restaurants. Additionally, in places where there is no synagogue, Hindu and Buddhist vegetarian restaurants allow us to keep kosher as these restaurants serve no “life” no meat, poultry, fish, eggs or even milk. They allow us to keep kosher while experiencing some unique local cuisine.” Led Dr. Nathan Katz, a leading authority and award-winning author on Indian Jewish life, India: My

New Jewish Heritage Tours Span Far-Flung Locales Continued from page D1 Travelers will learn new traditions at Shabbat services and dinners in Mumbai and New Delhi, tour Kochi and Kolkata’s historic synagogues with local members of the Jewish community and experience Kerala’s scenic backwaters by boat while exploring rural Jewish settlements. Guests will also enjoy a scenic rickshaw ride through Old Delhi along with cultural music and dance performances. “India is known for its antiquity and modern high-tech, its spirituality and Bollywood swagger, its bustling cities and pristine nature - a cultural kaleidoscope at the center of the world’s largest democracy. But what’s typically not known is India’s long history as one of the most hospitable homes in the Jewish Diaspora,” said Dr. Katz. “For centuries, Jews found a haven in which their traditions flourished. So too, they’ve been among India’s great mystics, taken center stage in Bollywood, served as mayor of major cities and produced the country’s greatest military hero, General J. F. R. ‘Jack’ Jacob, and most celebrated patron saint of 17th century Indian poetry, Sarmad Kashani.” “India is fascinating not only for its sacred cow, the Taj Mahal and Hinduism, but it is also home to the least known and most benevolent Jewish Diaspora, including a Jewish kingdom established in the 5th century. Jews have lived in India for well over 2,000 years without a trace of anti-Semitism.

Tour Celebrates Jewish Culture in Cuba, March 1 -5, 2017 Led by Ruth Behar, Professor of Anthropology at the University of Michigan Ruth Behar, Professor of Anthropology at the University of Michigan is leading a tour focused on the first public Celebration of Jewish Culture in Cuba, a landmark event bringing together art, theater, music, dance, and literature. The trip will highlight all the ways that Jewish Cuban heritage is alive and vibrant and open to the world. “The story of the Jews in Cuba is like no other Jewish story. Jews arrived on the island at the beginning of the 20th century, mostly from Turkey and Poland, and brought with them the strong Sephardic and Yiddish cultural traditions,” she says. “These Jewish immigrants couldn’t help but succumb to the stunning vitality of Cuban culture and so they created a unique fusion of Jewish and Cuban culture. In recent years, a Jewish cultural rebirth has taken place in Cuba that has received a boost thanks to the many bridges being extended between Cuba and the United States. With the outpouring of enthusiasm for Jewish Cuban culture, this is an ideal moment to go and celebrate how Cuba became a refuge and a home for the Jewish people. “Learn about the culture of Cuba, meet the Cuban people, interact with members of the Jewish community, and get to know the Jewish Cuban heritage and the vibrant ways in which that heritage is being interpreted by a new generation. You will experience the eclectic architecture of Havana and learn about the Jewish presence in the city, dine at the most charming home restaurants, and enjoy musical concerts of Klezmer, Sephardic, jazz and JewishCuban fusion music.” Highlights include: Greeting from Adela Dworin, president of the Jewish Community of Cuba and David Prinstein, vicepresident of the Jewish Community of Cuba, Patronato Synagogue. Known as the Patronato, Cuba’s major Jewish community center was designed by famed architect Aquiles Capablanca and founded in 1953. It maintains its beautiful facade with the symbols of the twelve tribes of Israel and a modernist arch rising to the heavens. In recent years, the Patronato has become a crossroads for Jews from all over the world.

This event will take place at the recently restored Palacio del Segundo Cabo, originally the Royal Post Office of the Spanish Crown dating from 1772. Poetry and Handmade Books at Espacio Altamira: Cuban-American poet Richard Blanco will perform a special poem written in honor of the Celebration of Jewish Culture, to be followed by a presentation of handmade books also specially prepared for the occasion by book artist Rolando Estévez and his independent imprint El Fortín. This event will take place at the Espacio Altamira, a gallery conceived by artists Yamilé Pardo Menéndez and Edel Bordón Mirabal.

The Golden Girls are hot, again BY MARJORIE GOTTLIEB WOLFE The hottest thing at New York Comic Con this year was Rose, Dorothy, Blanche and Sophia from the “Golden Girls” sitcom. This comedy aired from 1985 to 1992. Action figures of the “Golden Girls” were made by toy maker, Funko, and within hours the toys disappeared from the shelves. Their success wasn’t just limited to New York. Thousands of units were distributed to Target Corp. and sold out in less than 24 hours. Shown below is a guide to some very funny quotes taken from their many episodes. Enjoy!

Cooking

Rose: Cooking, Dorothy? Dorothy: No, Rose, I’m developing pictures for the Magellan Space Program.

Wonderful

Rose: Mmmmmm, Sophia! The kitchen smells wonderful. Is it Chef Boyardee? Rose, Sophia [Sophia holds up a knife] Stick it in my heart, Rose; it’ll hurt less!

Earthquake/to explode

[Rose and Dorothy confront Blanche about sleeping with Gil Kessler. Rose says to Blanche regarding the news-

paper article] Rose: Then why does it say the explosion was so great it shattered windows in a building 10 blocks away? Dorothy: [holding her head] Rose, that was an article about an earthquake in GUATAMALA.

Liar

Dorothy: Ma, I have a feeling you’re lying. Rose: Dorothy, be positive. Dorothy: Okay. I’m positive you’re lying.

Sailing around the world

Dorothy: Well, if someone asked me to sail around the world with him, I’d say yes.” Sophia: Sail around the world? Please, you can’t even get someone to ask you for a date. Sail around the world. Yeah, like there’s a long line of men standing on the…. Dorothy: Alright, Ma!

Water

Blanche: Yeah. Sophia: You can still walk, can’t you? Blanche: That’s true. Sophia: Great, go get me a glass of water.

Nonsense

Dorothy: Oh come on, Ma, that’s superstitious nonsense. You know, step on a crack, break your mother’s back, it doesn’t work.—I know.

Matchmaker

Dorothy: I’m still furious with Ma for hooking me up with that matchmaker.

Old men

Dorothy: [the girls see all of the old men working on their garage] “I think that this was the supporting cast of Cocoon.

Marriage

Dorothy: When a 22-year-old girl marries a man whose 80, chances are she is not after his body.

Opinion

Sophia: Look, you didn’t ask for my opinion, but I’m old. So, I’m giving it anyway.

Healthy

Dorothy: Ma, the doctor says you’re healthy as a horse. Well, actually, the doctor in our pre-paid health plan says you’re healthy as a camel. I assume in his country, it’s the same as a horse. Sophia [replies] You know, Dorothy, for an extra five dollars we can get a doctor who sees patients one at a time.

Beer

[on one of the flashback episodes when Dorothy is young] Sophia:Where are you going? Salvadore Petrillo: To get some air. Sophia: We got air in the house. Salvadore: I like beer with my air.

Hearing aid

Sophia: When I turn my hearing aid up to ten, I can hear canary break wind in Lauderdale. gasoline station Rose: I stopped at the gas stationed and they were nice enough to give me a ride home. [to Blanche”] “Oh, by the way, Chuck says yo.” Blanche” Chuck from Arco or Chuck from Shell? Rose: Shell. Blanche: Big Chuck from Shell or Little Chuck from Shell? Dorothy: Blanche, I think you’re spending too much time at the full service island.

Tony Bennett

Dorothy: Blanche, you dated Tony Bennett? Blanche: Honey, I did more than date him! He may have left his heart in See page D6

LBJ Did NOT Steal Social Security Funds BY TOM MARGENAU

Poor Lyndon Johnson. When it comes to Social Security, he gets blamed for something he never did. Our 36th president is often accused of being the first chief executive to tamper with Social Security financing. Well, he did tamper with it. But not in the way conventional wisdom would have you believe. And I was reminded of this in the reactions I got to my last two columns in which I cleared up myths about Social Security financing and presented a number of proposals for reforming the program. Dozens of you wrote and told me some version of this sentiment that came from a reader in California: “Social Security wouldn’t need any changes if Congress would just pay back the money that President Johnson stole from the Social Security system back in the ‘60s.” And here is another version of the story as relayed by a Texas reader: “We all know that LBJ cooked the books when it came to the Social Security trust funds. Get that money back and Social Security will be flush with cash!” For decades now, misinformed critics have charged that President Lyndon Johnson moved Social Security money from its own separate ledgers to the government’s general funds in order to spend it. That’s not quite right. Here is what really happened. We all know that the Vietnam War, which LBJ inherited from his predecessor, John F. Kennedy, was rapidly turning into a huge albatross around Johnson’s neck. And it wasn’t just the loss of thousands of young men’s lives that was bothering him. It was also the staggering costs of paying for the increasingly unpopular war in Southeast Asia. He was looking for a way to hide some of those costs, not just from Congress but from the American people. The government’s general coffers were essentially empty. But he noticed that there was an entirely separate government fund that was flush with cash -- the Social Security trust fund. What most people mistakenly think LBJ did was simply tap into those funds and “steal” Social Security money to help pay for the Vietnam War. But that is NOT what he did. What he did do was simply change an internal government bookkeeping practice. Up until that period of time, Social Security’s income and expenditures had always been kept on a completely separate set of government books. President Johnson merely added Social Security’s accounts to the general government budget. But this is the important (and almost always overlooked) point: He did not change in any way the method used to invest and spend Social Security money. In other words, Social Security funds were not touched. By pulling off this bookkeeping maneuver, by adding the Social Security funds to the govern-

ment’s overall ledgers, LBJ was able to disguise the growing deficit caused primarily by all the spending for the Vietnam War. Maybe this analogy will help you understand what happened. Fred and Ethel are married. They both work. And they keep separate bank accounts to manage their finances. Fred spends money like there is no tomorrow. His bank balance is always near zero. Ethel saves a lot of her income, so she has a substantial account balance. Fred talks Ethel into combining their assets. Neither person changes their habits. Fred keeps spending just his money and Ethel saves most of hers. But suddenly Fred looks like he has more money than he really does because, on paper at least, his bankrupt account has been combined with Ethel’s flush ledgers. Fred is like President Johnson and the overall government budget. Ethel is Social Security. Fred really hasn’t done anything wrong. He hasn’t taken any of Ethel’s money. He’s simply using her money to make his bottom line look better. Like Fred, Johnson moved the balance sheets for Social Security money into the overall government budget for one sneaky reason: to mask his (and Congress’s) risky spending habits. All that Social Security income made the actual government deficit appear smaller. This accounting procedure, adding Social Security trust fund accounts into the overall federal bookkeeping ledgers, is known as the “unified budget.” And despite its shifty intentions, you could make the argument that the procedure is entirely justified. After all, Social Security money is government money and it makes sense to add it in with all other government funds. Still, after the American people figured out what was going on, these bookkeeping shenanigans left a bad taste, not only in their mouths, but in those of Congress as well. That’s why back in the 1990s, Congress changed the law to remove Social Security funds from the overall federal budget. So Social Security went back to its original “off budget” status. Of course, by doing that, the government deficit, at least on paper, suddenly seemed much worse that it previously did. So almost ever since then, Congress has essentially kept two sets of books. One is the official budget with Social Security funds not included. But a second is the unified budget with Social Security funds still added in. Which budget picture Congress presents to their constituents depends on the message they are trying to convey. If they want to scare you and tell you how bad the economy is and why you need to re-elect them to help reduce the deficit, they will show you the official budget books (with Social Security not included). If they want to impress you and

tell you how they have been working diligently to control government spending and reduce the deficit, and why you need to re-elect them to continue to do so, they will show you the unified budget (with Social Security surpluses included). Having said all that, I cannot stress enough that all of this game-playing with the government books has absolutely nothing to do with how Social Security

tax money is spent on Social Security benefits and invested in government bonds. So President Johnson, and no president since, and, for that matter, no member of Congress, has ever stolen a nickel of Social Security money. But they sure have played around with it!

Create Classic Flavor Combinations, Even Without All of the Ingredients BY LISA MESSINGER Anyone who grew up on treats like date nut bread and cream cheese -- or even English muffin “pizzas” from the toaster oven -- knows how comforting they can be. What’s even more heartening is how easy it is to replicate the cozy experiences, even when you don’t have all of the ingredients on hand. A flavor fest is just that. It’s about memories of the essences of classic flavor combinations. Below are some dishes I make in a flash that often even feature improvements over the originals. The date nut dazzler, for instance, is even tastier with the pecans I always have in the house rather than the plainer walnuts fea-

tured in most traditional recipes. DATE NUT DAZZLER Spread whole-wheat crackers with cream cheese and top with ground cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice, chopped dates, and chopped pecans. PIZZA PEP-ME-UPS Paint store-bought thawed puff pastry dough with pizza or pasta sauce, fill with cooked pepperoni slices, shredded mozzarella cheese, finely diced green bell pepper, mushroom and red onion, fold closed and cook according to puff pastry package instructions. INSIDE-OUT CHILI DOGS To homemade or canned chili, add sliced cooked hot dogs, ketchup and mustard. Serve with torn pieces of toasted hot dog buns for dipping.

FROZEN WAFFLE FEST Stir pure maple syrup and orange marmalade or strawberry jam into peanut butter and spread on top of warm toasted freezer waffles. EVEN MORE CREAMY CREAM OF TOMATO SOUP In a microwave-safe container for 20 seconds, or until melted, heat together cheddar, pepperjack and Swiss cheeses. Swirl into servings of homemade or canned cream of tomato soup and top with garlic-flavored packaged croutons. HAPPY HOT CHOCOLATE Into a cup of heated hot chocolate, stir strawberry pancake syrup, pure vanilla extract, a dash of cayenne pepper, and top with whipped cream and ground cinnamon. BREAD PUDDING PIZZAZZ Rip chunks of egg bread or challah and mix gently into homemade or store-bought vanilla pudding to which you have stirred in ground allspice and cloves.

AFTER-WORK GOURMET COOKBOOK SHELF A slow cooker is often the home of rich, creamy comfort food meals full of calories. Gina Homolka, creator of the popular “Skinnytaste” series of books, proves that doesn’t always have to be the case. In “Skinnytaste Fast and Slow,” she fills diners up and not out with thoughtful lowered-fat recipes full of simmered-in flavor. Because of her expertise with this type of recipe creation, Homolka comes up with lots of varied innovations, such as chicken and dumplings, cauliflower “fried” rice, Korean-style beef tacos and flourless chocolate brownies. Lisa Messinger is a first-place winner in food writing from the Association of Food Journalists and the author of seven food books, including “Mrs. Cubbison’s Best Stuffing Cookbook” and “The Sourdough Bread Bowl Cookbook.” COPYRIGHT 2016 CREATORS.COM

Senior Club installs officers

From left, Levittown students Kristen Cassidy, Sabrina Escobar and Katelyn Politi attended a forum about the presidential election held at Hofstra University. Levittown students are keeping abreast of the issues involved in the presidential election. Advanced Placement Government students from Division Avenue and MacArthur high schools recently accompanied teacher Laura McCue to Hofstra University, where they listened to commentary about the

electionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most important issues from Washington Post and MSNBC contributor Eugene Robinson and FOX News contributor Stephen Hayes. The experience assisted the students in gaining valuable insight into their studies of the 2016 presidential election and the election process.

Oyster Bay Town Councilwoman Rebecca M. Alesia (center) recently attended the St. Pius X RC Church Senior Club of Plainview Installation of Officers Luncheon held at the North Ritz Club in Syosset. The St. Pius X RC Church Senior Club is an organization comprised of active senior volunteers who donate their time, talent and efforts to a variety of causes. Councilwoman Alesia presented Outgoing Club President Janet Reilly with a citation acknowledging the selfless efforts she has undertaken as President of the St. Pius X R.C. Church Senior Club which have gone on to enrich the quality of life for so many others and advanced the general well-being of our entire community. Councilwoman Alesia is pictured with the newly sworn Board members of the Senior Club who all took an oath to uphold the generous and compassionate values of the club.

After learning about the significant contributions of community helpers, East Broadway Elementary School kindergarten students in Levittown received a visit from Wantagh firefighter and former student Steven Schuman, who discussed important tips on fire safety. The students wanted to show their appreciation for his efforts in keeping their families safe with the presentation of a handcrafted fire truck. Photos by Levittown School District.

Downballot Races

American Indian heritage comes alive at Abbey Lane

BY BOB MORGAN, JR.

I will give analyzing the presidential race a bit of a rest in this column. This is partly because anything I write will no doubt be superseded by the third and final presidential debate this week. But is also because this has been a long, ugly and divisive campaign and I can’t say that writing about the two candidates is particularly enjoyable. I know many people of all political stripes who cannot wait for November 9, the day after the election. Nevertheless, it is still the political season, and the upcoming election will include a variety of other downballot races, so here is a review of some of the election contests below the presidential line. At the head of the downballot races are the elections for members of Congress. Republicans have a substantial majority on the House of Representatives and it would take around a 30 seat pickup for Democrats to win a majority. Democrats talk of a wave election that would lead to party control of the House and make Nancy Pelosi speaker again, but this doesn’t seem like a good bet. There are simply not enough targeted Republican incumbents with strong Democratic challengers for a change in party control to be likely. The best guess, absent a sea change in the presidential race, is a 10-15 seat Democratic pickup. The real action is in the races for the United States senate. Right now Republicans have a 54-46 majority. Since the Vice President casts the decisive vote in the event of a tie, Democrats need to gain 4 seats that Hillary Clinton is elected, and 5 seats if Donald Trump wins. Democrats have a big advantage in that they are only defending 10 senate seats, while Republicans are defending 24 seats, the product of the many GOP senators elected in the 2010 sweep who are now seeking another term. Republicans are actually holding up pretty well in the Senate race. Only one GOP senator, Mark Kirk in deep blue Illinois, is trailing badly in the race; Ron Johnson in Wisconsin is a clear underdog, but

remains pretty competitive with his Democratic opponent, former senator Russ Feingold. Everywhere else, Republicans defending seats are either ahead (Rob Portman in Ohio, John McCain in Arizona and Marco Rubio in Florida), or in very competitive races (Kelly Ayotte in New Hampshire, Pat Toomey in Pennsylvania, Richard Burr in North Carolina). One wildcard and very close race is in Indiana for an open GOP seat. Although Indiana is generally a Republican state, Democrats are fielding former senator Evan Bayh, a member of a family prominent in state politics for decades, against Todd Young, a Congressman. The one opportunity for a Republican pickup is in Nevada, where Harry Reid is retiring, another tight race. While Chuck Schumer, a heavy favorite in his race against Wendy Long, is the only New York statewide official up for election, the voting in the Empire State will feature a good number of competitive races. Vacancies in two Congressional seats, one on Long Island, where Democratic Representative Steve Israel is stepping down and upstate south of Albany, where Republican Chris Gibson is retiring, are producing potentially close races. In the Long Island race, state Senator Jack Martins is facing former county executive Tom Suozzi. Upstate, former GOP gubernatorial candidate John Faso is against Zephyr Teachout, the leftwing law professor who did unexpectedly well as a primary challenger to Governor Cuomo. The big question there is whether Ms. Teachout’s ideology fits the district. And of course, there is the perennial fight over control of the New York state senate, the last bastion of Republican power in the state. Republicans currently control the chamber by one vote (at least not counting a band of independent Democrats) and another squeaker election is likely, perhaps only decided after recounts. In any event, there will be much of interest on November 8, even for those not wildly enthusiastic about the presidential rivals.

Journeys Into Native American Territory presenter Richie Cornacchio is pictured with Abbey Lane Elementary School fourth-graders. An in-house field trip, Journeys Into American Indian Territory, held at Abbey Lane Elementary School in Levittown complemented the information studied in the fourth-grade social studies curriculum about native peoples. Presenter Richie Cornacchio discussed the geographical location of the Iroquois, their methods of survival, and the tools utilized for agriculture. In addition, the students explored Native American artifacts, walked through a replicated longhouse and tried their hands at using a pestle and mortar to grind corn.

highlight of the conference was hearing former WWE wrestler and speaker Christopher Nowinski, who spoke on the relationship between concussions and Alzheimer’s. “The experience changed my mindset on where I wanted to go with my future,” Hunter noted abour his attendance at the conference. “The speakers really sparked my interest in how Alzheimer’s has impacted my family, and I would like to do my best to help future research.”
