Town officials came together on Caffrey Avenue in Bethpage on Monday to discuss the newly formed Town-wide Quality of Life Task Force. The Task Force is the first of its kind in the Town and will address issues such as illegal housing, non-maintenance of properties, so called zombie homes and parking and noise related problems. Town councilman, Lou Imbroto, who will act as a liaison to the Task Force, said that when he was first elected, addressing quality of life issues was one of his first priorities. “These illegal boarding rooms and houses have been cropping up in our Town over the last few years and it is our job as elected officials to protect our residents from illegal housing, non-maintenance of properties and other quality of life concerns,” said Imbroto. The Quality of Life Task Force will be made up of representatives from multiple Town departments including Public Safety officers, Code Enforcement personnel and members of the Planning and Devel-

opment department. Just recently Town officials received a complaint from a Caffrey Avenue homeowner that the house across the street from there’s contained multiple people living inside. “Supposedly a company who owns the home was renting out to their employees,” said Jaime Nuzzi, who lives at 80 Caffrey Avenue. “There were people coming and going at all hours, different cars on the street all the time and being that I have three small children, I didn’t feel safe.” She said that the Town responded to her complaint immediately. “I am feeling so much safer now that the problem has been taken care of,” said Nuzzi. Town Supervisor, Joe Saladino, spoke about the issue of zombie homes on Long Island and in the Town. Zombie homes are abandoned properties that have been stuck in foreclosure for a prolonged period of time. “With this new Quality of Life Task Force, we will no longer let these abandoned properties plague our neighborhoods,” Saladino said.

Buddy the dog is reunited with his family

The Humphrey family of Wantagh got some unexpected good news on Saturday, October 14th, as their beloved pet, Buddy the dog, was found inside the woods of the Massapequa Preserve. The one year old beagle-labrador mix had been missing for over three weeks after escaping through a door of a dog handler’s house. “A woman called in a tip that she saw Buddy on the edge of the Preserve and we happened to be in the area at the time,” said MaryEllen Humphrey, the owner of Buddy. “They were able to cor-

ner him off on a path and collar him and we’re ecstatic to have him back home with us.” Humphrey has a nine year old daughter, Julianna and a four year old son, Jack, who is particularly close to the dog. Jack is hearing impaired and relies on Buddy to help communicate with others. Humphrey said she pulled out all the stops to find Buddy including placing cameras inside the Preserve, posting fliers within a three mile radius of the area and hiring a dog tracking team from Maine to locate the missing pet.

“One of the dog trackers threw a cheeseburger at him and laid on the ground in a non-threatening manner and they were able to corral him.” She said that Buddy was found in relatively good shape considering the time he had been missing. “He lost eight pounds, probably from all the running he was doing and had a few ticks and burrs in his fur and a couple of cuts on his legs. He also had a bit of gastrointestinal upset from whatever he was eating out there.” The dog was placed inside the Humphrey’s minivan and was immediately

taken to an emergency veterinarian in Plainview. On the way home the hungry dog devoured three McDonald’s cheeseburgers. The family had initially hired the dog walking service Wag, to watch him while they were away in Florida. The Walker did not properly lock the crate inside her home and Buddy was able to escape through a side door. Humphrey said that after the ordeal they went through of trying to recover their lost pet, that in the future they will only have family members or friends watch him.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Email: Editor@GCNews.com

Town financial non-disclosure

elected officials. I, for one, will not support any administration that refuses to disclose its finances to N.Y. State auditors. I will be supporting Marc Herman for Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor, and Bob Freier, Eva Pearson and James Versocki for TOB Council. Now is the time to restore transparency, responsibility and decency to government. Karin Barnaby

To the Editor: Supervisor Saladino failed to submit annual fiscal stress test documents to the NYS Comptroller’s Office last week. The Town of Oyster Bay is the only Long Island municipality that failed to submit these financial disclosures this year. The Town of Oyster Bay has failed to disclose information about its finances to the Comptroller’s Office for four years . . . this time, claiming problems with a computer program. Is there something about our TOB finances that Supervisor Saladino and TOB council members don’t want the Comptroller’s Office and Oyster Bay residents to know? Under the law, intentionally withholding information is equivalent to lying by omission. Oyster Bay’s Town administrators—like the Trump administration in Washington— would have us believe this is OK. It is not OK! We must demand transparency, honesty and fiscal responsibility of our

Wasteful TOB mailers

To the Editor:w I was dismayed to receive yet another political mailer from Unelected Supervisor Saladino. These mailers cost the taxpayers almost $50,000 per mailing and I have received at least four of them in the last two months alone – that’s $200,000 of OUR money wasted on this man’s ego. It is unconscionable that the current Supervisor and Town Board continue to allow these mailings. I will be making sure they hear I disapprove on Nov. 7. Caryn Coville

Students in the Hicksville Public School District received a special visit from the author of one of the books they read, and a team of dancers who brought its words to life before their eyes. David Ira Rottenberg, author of Gwendolyn, the Graceful Pig, read his book aloud to students at Burns Avenue

and Old Country Road elementary schools, while advanced dancers from the Eglevsky Ballet School performed scenes from the story. The event provided students with the opportunity to supplement their reading of the book by meeting its author and seeing it acted out in synchrony.

Savory taste of fall at Kramer Lane School Under the guidance of instructors from Nassau BOCES, kindergartners at Kramer Lane Elementary School in the Bethpage School District learned about the history of apple cider by making their own. During the program, naturalists Dana Kindness and Kimberly Uresk educated students about the history of apple cider, where apples are grown, and different properties of apples, including their various colors, sizes and tastes.

Using an apple cider press, students paired up to put apples through the machine, where they turned a lever to compress the apples and watched the tasty juice form. The program concluded with students sampling the cider and sharing their favorite ways to savor apples, including apple pie, applesauce, and apple juice.

Fifth-graders at Gardiners Avenue Elementary School received a visit from representatives of the education learning platform zSpace on Oct. 20. Classes entered a zSpace bus parked outside of the school which allowed them to be immersed in a world of virtual and augmented reality. The platform gives students the opportunity to explore and participate in experimental learning through computers with augmented and virtual reality capabilities. Students had the opportunity to engage in learning appli-

cations using 3D glasses. Lisa Grippo, zSpace regional director, helped the students navigate the technology as they used the computer screens to explore different worlds and accomplish tasks. They worked with their peers to problem solve by moving around with a stylus. At the conclusion of the class session, many students responded to the virtual reality learning experience as “awesome.”

Servicing Long Island Since 1961

General Douglas MacArthur High School junior Jordan Waitkus recently planted six trees and bushes over the course of a two-day period along the walkway of the Levittown Memorial Education Center as part of his Eagle Scout service project. Through his project, Waitkus honored Eagle Scouts that graduated from Division Avenue, Levittown Memorial, and MacArthur high schools by adding two pedestals displaying the names and troop numbers of the scouts. Waitkus has been a member of the Boy Scouts of America since the age of six and is currently part of Troop 330. He has moved through the ranks over the years from Cub Scout to Boy Scout, volunteering throughout his membership and earning various badges. Boy Scouts of America recognizes young people as Eagle Scouts once they fulfill the proper requirements. This includes working in the areas of leadership, service, and outdoor skills. An

Eagle Scout is the highest ranking in the Boy Scouts of America and only about five percent of all Boy Scouts receive the honor. Waitkus wanted to do something special for the Levittown community and brainstormed with Superintendent of Schools Dr. Tonie McDonald on a service project. Together, they came up with the idea of beautifying the walkway of the Levittown Memorial Education Center and celebrating the Eagle Scouts from Levittown. “It was a lot of work but as soon as it started coming together, it came out really well,” said Waitkus. “I’m proud of myself.” Waitkus is committed to making sure that the list is updated with any Eagle Scout that is not currently represented. If anyone qualifies and would like to be added, Waitkus will accept names and troop numbers at jtwaitkus@gmail. com.

Six alumni recognized as Levittown Hall of Famers

During Division Avenue High School’s homecoming festivities on Oct. 14, six alumni from the Levittown School District were officially inducted into the inaugural Levittown Hall of Fame. Surrounded by the Levittown community, administrators, board members, and loved ones, Assistant Superintendent of Instruction Todd Winch announced each recipient onto the football field prior to the Blue Dragons’ game against the Plainedge Red Devils. “These individuals that we are inducting here today have enhanced Levittown’s special place in history through their accomplishments in many different ways,” said Winch. “Individuals are selected based on contributions in a variety of areas including music, the arts, science, education, athletics, philanthropy, and others.” Inductees from Division Avenue High School included Town Councilman Dennis Dunne Sr. and New York State Supreme Court Justice Thomas Feinman. Dunne was the first elected representative of the 15th Legislative District in the Nassau County Legislature. Among his many roles, he currently serves as president of the Levittown/Island Trees Veterans Council and the president of the Marine Corps Coordinating Council. He is also a member of the American Legion, the Ancient Order of Hibernians, the Disabled American Veterans, the Kiwanis Club, the Knights of Columbus, Levittown Chamber of Commerce, the Lions Club, and the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Feinman is currently a justice of the Supreme Court of New York as well as an adjunct professor at Hofstra University in the Department of Accounting, Taxation and Legal Studies. He worked in the office of the Nassau County District Attorney and then in private law firms until 1998, when he was elected as a justice to the Nassau County District Court. After

serving six years in the Nassau County courts, he was elected as a justice to the Supreme Court of New York in 2004. Levittown Memorial High School graduates were also inducted during the special ceremony. Recipients included songwriter Ellie Greenwich, fireman Kevin McKinney, former Town Supervisor Kate Murray, and coach Doug Robins. Greenwich was an award-winning songwriter of the ‘60s, ‘70s, and ‘80s who wrote “Be My Baby,” ‘I Can Hear Music,” “Do Wah Diddy Diddy,” “Da Doo Ron Ron,” and “River Deep, Mountain High,” among others. She was also a vocal arranger and backup singer on Cyndi Lauper’s “Girls Just Want to Have Fun.” McKinney joined the Levittown Fire Department at the age of 18 where he was an active member for six years. He was certified as an emergency medical technician and an advanced medical technician. McKinney died in the line of duty at the age of 25 serving the Levittown community. In 1998, Kate Murray was the first woman and first Levittowner to be elected to the New York State Assembly. She served as clerk for the Town of Hempstead and in 2003 was elected as the first female supervisor of the Town of Hempstead. Known as the father of Levittown baseball, Robins was a physical education teacher and the Division Avenue High School baseball coach for 30 seasons. Under his leadership, the baseball program won 654 games overall, two Class B state titles, five Long Island titles, nine Nassau County titles and 24 league championships. Sixteen of his players became professional baseball players and 19 others are now coaches at the high school or collegiate level. Family members of Greenwich, McKinney and Robins were in attendance to accept their award in honor of their memories. Photos courtesy of the Levittown School District

Regent Seven Seas’ Navigator in New York Provides First-Hand Look at ‘Most Inclusive Luxury Cruiseline’ BY KAREN RUBIN Regent Seven Seas’ Navigator was docked at Pier 88 on the Hudson River in New York City, having just come in from a month-long voyage. As passengers for its next sailing – a 12-day cruise up to Halifax, Nova Scotia and down to Bermuda (fall foliage and eternal spring combined in a single journey) we got to tour the ship and see why Regent boasts being the “most inclusive luxury cruiseline.” In style, feel, and philosophy, Regent Seven Seas harkens back to the glory days of ocean cruising - elegant, luxurious, intimate, a hunger and excitement to explore places. RSSC specializes in longer cruises and a focus on destinations with longer stays in port to give more time, more in-depth visits, multiple nights in port, and free, unlimited shore excursions. It lists some 450 ports of call among its itineraries, which include a 137-day circumnavigation of the world, and longer stays in port to give more time, more opportunity for in-depth visits. Regent’s smaller ships can access ports that bigger ships cannot, and therefore are less frequented and less overrun (Check out www.rssc.com/ destinations). For this reason, unlimited shore excursions among a long list of

Regent Seven Seas’ Navigator in New York Provides FirstHand Look at ‘Most Inclusive Luxury Cruiseline’

Continued from page D1 inclusive features Regent Seven Seas offers a sophisticated, refined ambiance and casual elegance, and a premium on pampered service – the staff to guest ratio is 1:1.5. This isn’t the cruise for a family looking for rock-climbing walls, water slides, flow-riders or supervised children’s activity programs. But it’s a cruise for families who want that sense of discovery, of immersion into cultures and heritage Because of the longer itineraries, cruisegoers tend to be of retirement age, who want “good food and beverage and bucket-list destinations.” So a really significant all-inclusive feature of Regent Seven Seas Cruises are free unlimited shore excursions in every destination, as many as you like in a day. There are a limited number of optional tours, Regent Choice Shore Excursions, that because of their special content or limited availability or high cost, like heli-touring, require a discounted supplementary charge. Free unlimited shore excursions (you can take multiple ones a day) is just the beginning. Also included are two-for-one fares; free roundtrip business class air on all intercontinental sailings or free roundtrip air on domestic flights; free unlimited Wifi; specialty restaurants with no surcharge; free unlimited beverages including fine wines and premium spirits; free open bars and lounges; in-suite mini-bar replenished daily; free pre-paid gratuities; free transfers between airport and ship; and free one-night luxury hotel package in

concierge suites and above. When you calculate the inclusive features, the unabashedly pricey fare becomes more of a value proposition. And, on top of that, there are special offers at RSSC’s site: For example, the June 12, 2018, 12-day London (Southampton) sailing to Copenhagen on Seven Seas Explorer has two-for-one fares from $12,499 (with the discount) but children 17 or younger sail for $1,299. The July 6, 2018 12-day Reykjavik to Dublin voyage on Seven Seas Navigator, priced from $9,799 pp, features a bonus savings of $1400 per suite. A featured offer on an 11-day sailing on Seven Seas Explorer, Monte Carlo to Barcelona on April 12, 2018, with fares from $10,099 pp, features bonus savings of $2800 per suite. Return to World Cruises This year, Regent Seven Seas Cruises offered its first world cruise in six years on Seven Seas Navigator, beginning and ending in Miami on a circumnavigation of the globe in 128 nights, calling on six continents, 31 countries, 62 distinct ports and exploring 29 UNESCO World Heritage sites. Navigator is also the ship for the 2018 and 2019 world cruises; Mariner, which accommodates 700 passengers, will be the ship for 2020. World Cruises come with a slew of additional inclusive features, including roundtrip air, full medical care, and visa and passport services. Refined Ambiance Navigator is refinement, elegance

and grace, a destination in itself. Accommodations are all-suites, nearly all with private balcony. With only 490 guests, and a staff to guest ratio of 1 to 1 ½, you feel pampered. Regent Seven Seas refurbishes ships every 2-3 years; and in 2016, Regent initiated a two-year fleet-wide $125 million refurbishment program to bring its ships up to the standard of its newest, Seven Seas Explorer, which has been hailed as “the most luxurious cruise ship” ever built. Navigator had just gone through a bow-to-stern refurbishment in the first phase of the renovation project and we were able to see the fresh, warm color schemes, contemporary design, plush furnishings and amenities. A popular space is the Galileo Lounge on Deck 11 with a décor that conveys a celestial feel, beginning with its tempered glass double-door entrance trimmed with an abstract design reminiscent of the solar system and featuring a decorative sun-shaped handle. That theme extends inside the 132-seat cocktail lounge, where a nightblack oval-shaped ceiling twinkling with fiber-optic “stars” overlooks the inlaid wooden dance floor. Navigator Lounge / Coffee Connection: By day, these intimate Deck 6 venues – connected by a central walkway – are bathed in natural light from a bank of windows overlooking the sea. By night, the Navigator Lounge transforms into a small night club, with a Steinway piano as the centerpiece. Adding to the elegance are leatherwrapped columns with a copper-topped

capital and dark wooden base. The theater is a stunning affair – sofas and easy chairs with small tables, a beautiful stage where there is nightly entertainment – Broadway reviews and Las-Vegas style entertainment performed by a small cast of 4 to 6, plus onboard lectures from the Smithsonian Collection by Smithsonian Journeys . There is also a small casino in the style of the French and Italian Riviera, as opposed to Las Vegas glitz and noise. The Library is stunning (there is wireless access throughout the ship, free wifi). There is an onboard Canyon Ranch SpaClub® offering various spa treatments; as well as a fitness room and yoga rooms – with free classes (stretching, pilates, yoga, spinning) offered throughout the voyage. The outdoor pool is lovely; there is also a jogging track and miniature golf. Cuisine Regent Seven Seas is also known for its cuisine. In Compass Rose, the main dining room, the menu changes daily with a selection of offerings that reflect the destination, along with popular Continental cuisine standards, a selection of Canyon-Ranch healthful items, vegetarian and Kosher. The specialty restaurant on board, Prime 7, is a classic American steakhouse. La Veranda, a lovely casual restaurant for indoor and al fresco dining with incredible ocean views, is the casual restaurant serving smorgasbord-style for breakfast and lunch that transforms into a fine dining

venue, Sette Mari La Veranda, for dinner featuring regional specialties and Italian specialties. The Pool Grill offers casual dining al fresco and a popular Burger Bar. There are culinary demonstrations and wine tastings. Suites with Benefits Regent Seven Seas prides itself on being the most inclusive luxury cruising experience afloat, but as the suite category increases, so do added benefits: The Concierge Suite Category, 356 sq ft with 55 sq ft balcony, adds free one-night pre-cruise luxury hotel package that includes ground transfers, breakfast, porterage; priority online shore excursion and dining reservations; binoculars; Espresso Maker & cashmere blankets, commemorative gift plus the rest of the amenities.

Chelm The mythical town in Poland, where all the residents are usually happy, gentle folk who also share another virtue— they are considered fools by everyone living outside of Chelm. In Chelm, the wisest thing you ever heard was spoken by the last person who spoke. Therefore, the next Chelmer to speak will always have something wiser and more foolish to say. A typical Chelm Story: There was a young man of Chelm who was totally ignorant of many facts of life. One day, he went running frantically to the rabbi, crying: “Rabbi, can you explain this extraordinary thing? My wife and I have been married only three months, and everyone knows it takes nine months for a baby to be born—yet she’s just given birth. How can this be?” The rabbi sighed. “I see, my son, you don’t understand the simple arithmetic. I ask you: Have you live with your wife for three months?” “Yes.” “Has she lived with you three months?” “Yes.” “Together you have lived three months?”

“Yes.” “And how much is three plus three plus three?” “Why, nine of course,” Rabbi. “Then why bother me with silly questions?” 6. Anatevka Anatevka is the fictional Russian shtetl as portrayed in the B’way show, “Fiddler on the Roof.” Life in Anatevka is very much governed by tradition. All is well in Anatevka while everyone is content with his/her allotted place. Tevye says, “Because of our traditions, we’ve kept our balance for many, many years. Here in Anatevka we have traditions for everything—how to eat, how to sleep, how to wear clothes. Because of our traditions, everyone knows who he is and what God expects him to do.” A description of Anatevka: dreadful. Hunger was endemic, sanitation disgusting, housing unspeakable. Muddy streets, open latrines—and neither water nor light blessed the huts and hovels.

Swindler Must Pay Up Before Benefits Start BY TOM MARGENAU

Q: I have a brother-in-law who is a scoundrel in my books. I just don’t know what my sister sees in this guy. Back when he was in his 40s, he was convicted of defrauding the Social Security disability program. I know he paid a fine and even served some jail time. That was about 20 years ago. Now he is about to turn 62 and according to my sister, he is signing up for his Social Security old age pension. Surely the government isn’t going to start paying this crook retirement benefits, will they? A: Obviously, I don’t know any of the particulars about this case other than what you told me. But if he served his prison sentence, then he has repaid his debt to society and he would be eligible for retirement benefits, assuming he meets all the eligibility factors. But even though he’s repaid his debt to society, he has not repaid his debt to the Social Security system. And what I mean by that is the Social Security Administration will withhold all of his monthly retirement benefits until they have recovered every nickel in disability benefits that he swindled out of the system. Q: There is a guy on our block whom I am convinced is a deadbeat cheat. He is living off of Social Security disability benefits, yet I see him outside all the time working on his house and yard. How can the government be sending this guy a check every month when there is obviously nothing wrong with him? A: Just because you see someone “outside all the time working” doesn’t necessarily imply that he is totally healthy and fit. I have a friend who is in the early stages of cancer treatment, yet he is always doing things around his house and yard. I’m sure he likes staying as busy as he can to help keep his mind off of all his problems. Of course, I don’t know what is going on with your neighbor. But if you really suspect he is cheating the Social Security system out of disability benefits, do something about it. Don’t just gripe to me. Report him to the Social Security Administration. You can do so anonymously. Just go to the Social Security website and under the “Contact Us” link, click on the tab that says “Report Fraud, Waste, or Abuse.” Q: I know someone who is cheating the Social Security system. She is nothing but a drug addict. She lives on the streets, and I’m sure she is a prostitute. She has never worked a day in her life. Yet she gets a Social Security check every month. No wonder our Social Security system is in such trouble if they are sending checks to people like her! A: Once again, I obviously know nothing about this woman. And I wonder how you know so much about her and her

alleged Social Security checks. Over my 45 year career dealing with these issues, I’ve run into thousands of people who claim to know all about someone’s life, only to learn later that most of what they thought they knew was gossip and hearsay. Still, if you truly believe this woman is abusing the system, you can follow the advice I gave in my prior answer by reporting her to SSA’s fraud department. By the way, if she really is getting a monthly disability check, my educated guess is that she is getting Supplemental Security Income payments, not Social Security. SSI is a federal welfare program run by the SSA that pays monthly benefits to low-income people who are over 65 or disabled. SSI payments are funded by general tax revenues, not Social Security taxes. The law says that people can NOT get SSI (or Social Security) disability benefits simply because they are addicted to drugs. But many people with drug addictions also have other severe physical or mental impairments that qualify them for disability benefits. Q: There is a guy in our small town who is a drunk. And he brags that he is getting a disability check from Social Security. Why does he deserve a disability check for a condition he brought on himself with all his drinking? A: Well, I guess I’m going to have to start every answer in this column by pointing out that I really don’t know anything about the situation being presented. But I do know Social Security law, and I can make some educated guesses about what is going on. Just as with drug addiction, a person cannot get disability benefits just because he or she is an alcoholic. But frequently someone with severe alcohol dependency also has many other problems, like possible cirrhosis of the liver or cardio-vascular issues. So if this guy is getting disability benefits, he is getting them because he has other chronic disabling conditions, not because he is an alcoholic. As to your point that he shouldn’t get disability benefits “for a condition he brought on himself,” well, there you are traveling down a rather slippery road. I have a cousin who gets disability benefits from Social Security because he has terminal lung cancer. He smoked three packs of cigarettes a day for all of his adult life. My wife is friends with a severely obese woman with chronic heart problems who is getting disability benefits. She spent much of her life eating a high fat diet. Should benefits be denied to these people because they brought on their own medical problems? If we start denying government benefits to people whose lifestyle choices led to their disabling conditions, we’d have very few people getting disability benefits. Q: I have a lady friend at church. She is probably in her late 60s, like me. She has a grown son who is mentally disabled. He is probably about 35 years old. My friend said her son

is getting Social Security disability benefits. How can that be? I know he hasn’t worked a day in his life. She is a nice Christian woman so I don’t think she is lying to me. But how can he be getting disability benefits without ever working? Should I report her for fraud? I am very torn about this. A: You can stop worrying. Your friend’s son is very likely getting benefits on his mother’s (or his father’s) Social

Security record. The law says benefits can be paid to dependent children up to age 18. But the law further says that if the child is disabled, those benefits can continue -- usually for the rest of his or her life. If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has the answer.

in Cuba, and Regent Seven Seas Cruises is delighted to expand our itineraries with calls on Havana to provide our guests a more complete Caribbean experience,” said Jason Montague, president and chief executive officer of Regent Seven Seas Cruises. “Three of the six itineraries feature midnight departures from Havana Harbor, so guests have ample time to personally learn about Cuba’s authentic nightlife.” Travelers can visit Havana on a 22-night voyage, sailing on Oct. 10, 2018 from Miami to Honolulu aboard Seven Seas Mariner. On this itinerary, guests also will transit the Panama Canal and call at some of the most beautiful, ecological destinations of Central America and the Mexican Riviera along the way. The Nov. 11, 2018 sailing of Seven Seas Navigator, the line’s most intimate ship with just 245 suites, also will immerse guests in Cuban culture on the 14-night Eastern and Southern Caribbean itinerary. For its part, Seven Seas Voyager will sail four round-trip, Caribbean voyages that include calls on Havana from December 2018 through March 2019. The Dec. 6, 2018 voyage takes guests on a 10-night Western Caribbean itinerary, while the Dec. 16, 2018, 12-night voyage throughout the Eastern Caribbean will celebrate Christmas on board. A sevennight Western Caribbean itinerary, sailing Feb. 6, 2019, will also take guests to Costa Maya and Cozumel, Mexico; and Roatán, Honduras, while a similar Mar. 5th itinerary replaces Costa Maya with Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas. The Dec. 6, 2018, and Feb. 6 and Mar. 5, 2019 sailings feature midnight departures

Long Island High School for the Arts to Host Open House for 2018-19 Academic Year and Summer Arts Academy Nassau BOCES Long Island High School for the Arts (LIHSA) invites all high school students with artistic talent, passion and ambitions to an Open House on Thursday, November 16, 8-9:30 a.m. Prospective students from across Long Island are welcome to tour the campus, meet with expert staff, and experience classes focused on each area of the visual and performing arts.

Best Inexpensive: Electric Toothbrush, Folding Knife, Smart Speaker and Extreme Hand Lotion BY MARY HUNT

One of the best things I’ve done in a long time is to invite my readers to send in their requests for my Best Inexpensive picks. I’m not sure why I love it so much, but it may have something to do with satisfying my inner shopper without actually shopping. At any rate, today I’m excited to reveal my Best Inexpensive pick for four completely unrelated but frequently requested items, with links available at http://www. everydaycheapskate.com/bietf. ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSH. I’ve gone to the same dentist for so many years that I’m sure he’d be embarrassed if I told you here. Know how much I trust and depend on Richard Oliver, D.D.S., of La Palma, California? I now live 1,100 miles away, but he’s still my dentist, and I still show up for regular cleaning and checkups. Dr. Oliver believes so strongly in the effectiveness of a good electric toothbrush that he gives his patients a new brush head for their particular model every visit. My pick for the Best Inexpensive electric toothbrush is the Oral-B Pro 1000.

Here’s why: It has a built-in timer, so I know how long I have to keep going at it. It gives me an alert when I’m done -- and also a pulse every 30 seconds, indicating when I should switch areas. The replacement toothbrush heads are very inexpensive -- or free, if you know Dr. Oliver. This brush holds a charge for many days, which makes it ideal for travel. The manufacturer claims that the Pro 1000 removes 300 percent more plaque than a regular toothbrush, something I cannot prove but, having used both, I believe. And here’s the best part: It costs about $40. FOLDING KNIFE. Having all sons and one husband, I know how much many men enjoy and depend on a decent pocketknife. In my family, I’ve joined those ranks. I love having a good, dependable cutting tool in my handbag. And I know the heartache of losing my favorite well-used and always-sharp knife. That’s when it’s good to know I carry the best that is also inexpensive. My pick for Best Inexpensive pocketknife: Columbia River Knife and Tool’s Drifter G10 plain-edge folding knife.

Here’s why: It is the perfect size and shape. Once folded, it locks in place for safety. The razor-sharp blade is high-quality stainless steel. For the money, this is a super bargain. It’s about $23. SMART SPEAKER. It started with Apple’s Siri -- a voice-activated intelligent cellphone feature willing and able to answer just about any question. Then, about two years ago, Amazon.com introduced its version for the home, featuring the intelligence of Alexa. Don’t know what I’m even talking about? Ask any 10-year-old (or, in my case, any 2-year-old grandson who has fallen in love with Alexa). My pick for Best Inexpensive smart speaker: the Eufy Genie smart speaker with Amazon’s Alexa. Here’s why: I have been testing Eufy Genie for weeks now and find it to be on a par with Amazon’s Echo Dot in every way. And it’s so much less expensive. It’s about $35. EXTREME HAND & BODY CREAM. If you suffer with what one reader describes as “alligator skin,” you’ve most likely spent a fortune trying every possible moisturizing hand and body

E V E R Y D A Y C H E A P S K A T E

cream out there. So have I, especially now that I live in a very dry climate. And all of my tests and trials have paid off, because they led me to Atrac-Tain superior moisturizing cream. Here’s why: This cream is the undisputed best option for every skin type, even extremely dry, cracked skin. Atrac-Tain is miraculous. It is fragrance-free, thick and creamy and goes on nearly dry, leaving no greasy or sticky feeling. This is a miracle in a tube and worth every penny. It’s about $11.

Speak to an attorney or go to the court where your case is pending for further information on how to answer the summons and protect your property. Sending a payment to the mortgage company will not stop the foreclosure action. YOU MUST RESPOND BY SERVING A COPY OF THE ANSWER ON THE ATTORNEY FOR THE PLAINTIFF (MORTGAGE COMPANY) AND FILING THE ANSWER WITH THE COURT. Help for Homeowners in Foreclosure New York State Law requires that we send you this notice about the foreclosure process. Please read it carefully. Summons and Complaint You are in danger of losing your

LEGAL NOTICES home. If you fail to respond to the summons and complaint in this foreclosure action, you may lose your home. Please read the summons and complaint carefully. You should immediately contact an attorney or your local legal aid office to obtain advice on how to protect yourself. Sources of Information and Assistance The State encourages you to become informed about your options in foreclosure. In addition to seeking assistance from an attorney or legal aid office, there are government agencies and non-profit organizations that you may contact for information about possible options, including trying to work with your lender during this process.

obtained will be used for that purpose. The foregoing summons is served upon you by publication pursuant to an order of the Honorable Thomas A.

Storytelling comes alive at elementary schools

Author David Ira Rottenberg read his book “Gwendolyn, the Graceful Pig” to students in the Levittown School District. Kindergarten through second-grade students at Northside and Summit Lane elementary schools in the Levittown School District received a visit from

children’s book author David Ira Rottenberg and the Eglevsky Ballet on Oct. 19. Rottenberg and the Eglevsky Ballet visited Northside students in the morning and Summit Lane in the afternoon to share Rottenberg’s children’s book Gwendolyn, the Graceful Pig. Rottenberg narrated while members of the Eglevsky Ballet performed an interpretation of the story. This was the first time that the Ballet Company worked with Rottenberg. Under the guidance of Eglevsky Ballet teacher and choreographer, Melissa Bartucci, the two collaborated to bring the story to life and allow many of the young students to see a ballet for the first time. After the performance, Rottenberg and the dancers answered questions that the students had. These included hearing about how the dancers got their start and Rottenberg’s writing career.

Levittown Historical Society hears presentation from Bob Koenig Levittown Historical Society’s guest speaker at its October 16th meeting was Historical Society Vice President Bob Koenig. The meeting was set to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Levittown, and Bob came prepared with his guitar and harmonica to perform songs from his CD, Abbey Lane, some of which contain lyrics based on Levittown. He did a wonderful job and the guests enjoyed the show. So many peo-

ple showed up. Bob also showcased some television appearances and music videos done in his younger days alongside other musicians as well as his own group, The Keys. He spoke about how he got his start in music at a very young age, forming garage bands along the way and writing his own folk, rock, and country music. He’s still at it to this day.

In recognition of October as National Bullying Prevention Month, students of Central Boulevard Elementary School in the Bethpage School District learned how to diffuse situations of bullying during an interactive assembly. The assembly, which kicked off the school’s character education initiative, featured Sticks and Stones, a musical written, produced and presented by performing artist Lyle Cogen. The show used a 3-D set to discuss different types

of bullying, the characteristics of a good friend and inclusion. It also invited students to take on the different roles in a bullying situation by having them participate in skits. Additionally, members of Daisy Troop 3033 spelled out the school’s character education initiative slogan, “Choose Kind,” on the school fence with blue and yellow plastic cups.

HOW DID ONE OF THE

GREAT HEART HOSPITALS

ALSO BECOME ONE OF THE GREAT ONCOLOGY HOSPITALS?

You don’t have to travel far for world class cancer care. The Cancer Institute at St. Francis brings it to your doorstep. Our world class physicians are no strangers to Castle Connolly’s America’s Top Doctors or New York Magazine’s Best Doctors annual listings. Our teams of oncology-certified nurses have earned Magnet designation three times in a row by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), an honor achieved by only 7% of hospitals in the country. Our technologies and leading edge therapies put us at the forefront of surgical, medical, and radiation oncology. And our clinical outcomes are excellent compared to national benchmarks. Everything at the Cancer Institute goes beyond the standard. But when it’s all said and done, our patients say it is the personalized, compassionate care delivered by our highly skilled and experienced board-certified surgeons and their teams that separates us from the rest.
