LITTLE LEAGUE SEASON BEGINS

BY GARY SIMEONE

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino (back row, center) recently joined with coaches, players, and parents for the opening day ceremony of the Plainview Little League Baseball Challenger Program. Challenger Baseball is a Little League-sanctioned program established in 1989 that gives physically and mentally challenged children the opportunity to play baseball. Supervisor Saladino commended everyone in the league for their efforts in providing an important recreational outlet for boys and girls in the community, and extended his best wishes for an enjoyable season.

Memorial Day Parade planned for Hicksville

On Monday, May 28th, the United Veterans of Hicksville will be holding its annual Memorial Day Parade and ceremonies. The United Veterans of Hicksville is comprised of the American Legion, Jewish War Veterans, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Military Order of the Purple Heart, Nassau County Chapter 82 of the Vietnam Veterans of America, and the British War Veterans of America. This year’s parade is being hosted by the Hicksville Veterans of Foreign Wars, William M. Gouse Jr. Post 3211 under the direction of Com-

mander William Walden. This year’s Grand Marshall will be Jewish War Veterans Commander Jack Hayne. The parade will step off at 9:00AM from the Sears parking lot, behind the auto center. It will turn left and head south along Broadway (rte. 107) to Old Country Road. At Old Country Road it will turn west until it reaches Jerusalem Avenue. At Jerusalem Avenue it will turn south and proceed to 4th Street where it will end by the Hicksville Middle School. At approximately 10:30AM, the Memorial Day

Ceremonies will take place at the Middle School’s Veterans Memorial Park. Invitations to community and veteran organizations that have participated in previous parades have been sent out. Any other Hicksville organizations that would like to participate in the parade are asked to contact VFW Commander William Walden at (631) 374-4473 or call the Hicksville VFW Post at (516) 931-7843. The United Veterans of Hicksville look forward to another successful parade and ceremony.

The YES Community Counseling Center in Massapequa was recently the recipient of a $50,000 grant that will help the organization expand its services and programs. The grant money was donated by Nassau County assemblywoman Christine Pellegrino as part of the 2018-19 state budget. “The YES Community Counseling Center reaches out to Long Islanders who are coping with everything from domestic violence to the loss of a loved one,” said Pellegrino. “This funding will help ensure that the Center keeps doing its valuable work for the most vulnerable members of our community” The community center is a non-profit organization that helps members overcome a whole range of issues including domestic violence, substance abuse and addiction, family conflict, sexual abuse, and marital/peer difficulties. The Center serves residents primarily in southeastern Nassau communities such as Massapequa, Plainedge, and Farmingdale. Jaime Bogenshutz, executive director of the Center, explained that these types of grants help to establish additional resources for the center that their overall budget would not allow for. “We can use these funds to help expand and develop our services and to ensure that we have staff members available for all of our residents in need,” said Bogenshutz. “This is an awesome gift and no words can describe how thankful we are to be the recipient of this generous donation.” She added that agency was currently immersed in the opioid epidemic that is ravaging Long Island communities. “A lot of our resources are devoted to this ongoing epidemic and the grant money will go a long way to helping us battle it.”

Second half taxes due

Oyster Bay Town residents are reminded that the Second Half of the 2017-2018 School Tax Levy is due on April 1st, but can be paid without penalty through May 10th. Please be certain to sign your check, payable to James J. Stefanich, Receiver of Taxes. Indicate your property’s S.D. Code, Section, Block, Lot and telephone number on the check. “By law, a taxpayer has a 40-day penalty free period from the date the tax is due during which payment may be made without penalty,” Mr. Stefanich explained. “After the 40 days, a one percent penalty is added for each month the tax remains unpaid, retroactive to April 1st.” Residents can pay in person, by either cash or check, at the Tax Office, Oyster Bay Town Hall West, 74 Audrey Avenue, Oyster Bay, or by check only at our office in Town Hall South (rear entrance), 977 Hicksville Road, Massapequa. When paying the tax bill in person, taxpayers are reminded to bring the entire tax bill with their payments. In addition, the Hicksville Annex, at the TOB Parking Facility, 55 Duffy

Avenue, Hicksville, will be open to accept payments by check only, from 9:00AM to 4:45PM on May 3rd, 4th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th. Residents who prefer to mail in their payments, should send them to the Office of the Receiver of Taxes, 74 Audrey Avenue, Oyster Bay, N.Y. 117711539. Payments being made by mail should include the second half stub. Residents should NOT write on, fold, staple or otherwise deface the tax stub as it can cause the computer system to reject the payment. Residents now have free access to tax bills online with the ability to pay taxes through ACH check payment or credit card. These services are available through a link on our Town website, www.oysterbaytown.com. Residents should be aware there is a service fee if they chose to pay taxes online (Town of Oyster Bay receives no portion of fee). “When calling the Tax Office for information on property taxes, residents are requested to have the school district, section, block and lot numbers of the property in question available. This information is listed on the tax bill and on the property deed.”

THE VIEW FROM HERE

A Retrospective on 1968 BY BOB MORGAN, JR. As this is written, there is quite a bit of important developing news. This includes potential United States action in Syria in the wake of the dastardly poison gas attack by the Bassir al-Ashad regime, tough talk on trade between the United States and China that hopefully will lead to some form of negotiations, and the appearance of Facebook chairman Mark Zuckerberg before Congress. In addition, there is the just announced raid on the files of President Donald Trump’s personal attorney. My best guess on the raid is that once again, there will be less than meets the eye here in terms of hard evidence against the President, but time will obviously tell. However, if I were advising Mr. Trump, I would take special prosecutor Robert Mueller and his staff very seriously. I would be against any face to face meeting with Mr. Mueller’s staff, which could go badly for Mr. Trump, a person not noted for watching every word carefully. However, in light of the relatively preliminary nature of all these news developments, I will spend this column on the 50th anniversary of 1968, easily the most tumultuous news year in my life. Looking back at news footage of 1968, we now know that in later years things eventually became less frenetic. Accordingly, the film does not always convey the rising sense of people living through the year, as one shocking event after another unfolded, that things were starting to spin out of control. Of course, there were two major pieces of background that year. One was the generational conflict between members of the baby boomer generation and their elders. But even more important was the Vietnam War, which seemed to go on endlessly. Even those of us who believed the war was necessary to stop the incursion of global communism were frustrated at the slow progress of the conflict, the political turmoil in South Vietnam and, of course, the mounting casualties of American soldiers. The year started with the massive Tet offensive by communist troops against 150 locations in Vietnam, and its substantial political fallout.

While in many ways the offensive was a failure, it added to the perception that the war was not going well, a perception that was reinforced by broadcaster Walter Cronkite’s declaration on February 27 that the war was a “stalemate”. Two weeks later, President Lyndon Johnson could only manage a narrow victory in the New Hampshire primary against Senator Eugene McCarthy, which would lead to Senator Robert F. Kennedy’s declaration of his candidacy. On March 31, President. Johnson made a shocking announcement that he would not seek re-election. Then on April 4, an assassin killed Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in Memphis, a tragic event which led to massive racial tensions and an outbreak of riots in many cities and occupation of the Washington Mall by squatters. There were also frequently violent demonstrations at major universities and occupation of campus buildings by leftist protestors. The political landscape was altered by the departure of President Johnson as a candidate. Vice President Hubert Humphrey entered the Democratic race, joining Robert Kennedy and Eugene McCarthy. On the Republican side, Richard M. Nixon was cruising to the nomination. A third candidate, Governor George Wallace of Alabama, ran as a segregationist with an overtly racist message. However, a second tragedy occurred when Robert Kennedy was assassinated in early following a victory in the California primary. Vice President Humphrey became the frontrunner and was ultimately nominated in Chicago, but only after ugly protests broke out in the streets. International tensions also rose as the Soviet Union invaded Czechoslovakia. Eventually, Mr. Nixon was narrowly elected president, with a promise to bring us together and end the war. He never totally succeeded in either, but the overall level of rhetoric was markedly lower in 1969, the year of the moon landing, and never again was there a year as tense as 1968. Which is all to the good.

Town of Oyster Bay plans blood drive for April 26th The Town of Oyster Bay will host a blood drive on Thursday, April 26th to help hospitals meet the ongoing and pressing need for blood donations. The blood drive will take place between 9:30AM and 3:30PM at Town Hall South, located at 977 Hicksville Road, in Massapequa. “Blood supplies can easily dwindle during the summer months, so blood drives like this are critical to help hospitals meet demand and continue their life-saving mission,” Supervisor Saladino said. “I urge all those eligible to participate and help support our efforts, as blood banks need to be prepared, so that as many people as possible can be helped.” To qualify as a blood donor, a person must between the ages of 17 and 75 years old (16 with parental permission and 76 or older with a doctor’s note), weigh at least 110 pounds, and not have donated blood within the last 56 days. Anyone who has received a tattoo within the

Friday, April 13, 2018

past 12 months is ineligible to donate. It is recommended that volunteers eat well (low fat) and drink fluids in the days before the blood drive. “We are in the midst of an emergency blood shortage and this is why people should always donate whenever they can. Donating blood is a quick, easy, and safe process, and the pint of blood you donate will never be missed from your body, as it is quickly reproduced within your body,” Councilman Muscarella added. “If you have family members or friends willing to donate, please ask them to support our effort this year, as there is no danger of contracting any diseases, and each pint of blood donated can be used to help three different people.” Refreshments will be provided for all who donate blood. For additional information regarding the Town’s Blood Drive, contact Nancy Haarstick at (516) 624-6304 or visit the Town’s website at www.oysterbaytown.com.

Town offers free boating safety seminar

After completing two highly successful Boating Safety Seminars, the Town of Oyster Bay plans to offer a third Boating Safety Seminar on Saturday, May 19th from 8AM to 4PM at the Oyster Bay Community Center, located at 45 Audrey Avenue in Oyster Bay. The seminar is moderated by the Department of Public Safety Bay Constable Unit, and will include topics related to safe operation, regulations, responsibilities of boat ownership and operation. The seminar is free for Town residents. Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor Joseph Saladino stated, “This Boating Safety Seminar offers participants the fundamentals of safe boating operations. The course is recommended for all boaters and required by New York State for all personal watercraft operators.” Too many people take their boats out onto the water without proper preparation,” said Supervisor Saladino. “The

boating safety tips offered at this course can help save lives by ensuring boaters are properly prepared before they leave the dock.” “History has shown us that too many people take their boats out onto the waters without proper preparation and training to,” said Town Councilwoman Michele Johnson. “The tips offered at this Boating Safety Seminar can help save lives by ensuring boaters are properly prepared before they leave the dock.” Participants must be a minimum of 10 years old to participate in the seminar. Classes are free, but advanced registration is required. Safe Boating Courses are required for motor boat operators born on or before May 1, 1996. The course is also required for personal watercraft (Jet Ski) operators, who must be a minimum of 14 years of age.

Skype speaker inspires students to show empathy

Lee Avenue teacher selected for competitive training program

Lee Avenue Elementary School teacher Phillip Moshoyannis has been selected to participate in Teachers for Global Classrooms. Wisdom Lane Middle School students spoke with Peter Dankelson and his mother, Dede Dankelson, from the Children’s Craniofacial Association over Skype. Sixth-grade students at Jonas E. Salk and Wisdom Lane Middle Schools recently participated in Skype sessions with Peter Dankelson and his mother, Dede Dankelson, from the Children’s Craniofacial Association as a culmination to reading the novel Wonder by R.J. Palacio. Wonder, which was recently turned into a film, spotlights fifth-grader August (Auggie) Pullman, a boy who was born with a severe facial difference, as he starts his first year at a mainstream school. Auggie faces challenges, including a community that struggles with his differences. Peter, a teenager born with a rare congenital defect that involves incomplete facial development, speaks to students across the country about kindness, inclusion, and the facial differences that GC-CHERRY 1-8 Page - 01-29-18.qxp_Layout affect him and other kids. Levittown 1

students asked Peter questions and learned more about his life over Skype sessions at each middle school. Peter discussed his multiple facial surgeries and how difficult hospital visits can be. He also explained how it feels returning to school after undergoing a new surgery and the challenges he faces such as eating. The students asked how Peter felt about the novel Wonder and what he thought about the film version of the story. “It was cool that others could be put in my shoes,” he said. Through his personal story, the students received a better understanding of Peter’s daily life, his interests and most importantly, his important message to always be kind to others.

Kindergartners splash into STEAM at Gardiners Ave. School

Kindergarten students at Gardiners Avenue Elementary School in the Levittown Public Schools engaged in a sink versus float STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) experiment during their K-STEAM Club meeting on March 28. Facilitated by teacher Kristina Didyk, the morning club meets once a week to give students the opportunity to use their imaginations and problem solve through different projects. Students gathered in the school’s art room where Didyk first discussed the directions of the experiment. Each student received a worksheet where they were required to draw a photo of the object that they were placing in water and color in their prediction of whether the object would float or sink. Students were broken up into groups where they received a plastic container of water.

Each group was supplied with materials such as a medal spoon, a penny, a plastic spoon, a Q-tip, and a wooden stick to experiment with and drop into the water. Before seeing if their predictions were correct, students discussed what they thought would happen and then took turns dropping the objects into the water. They then colored in their results on their worksheet. Toward the end of the meeting, the students got a head start on their next experiment. They were challenged to create a floating boat out of aluminum foil. Next time the group meets, they will predict how many pennies the boat can hold before it sinks and record their results in their own personalized boat book.

How to avoid late tax payment penalties Oyster Bay Town Receiver of Taxes James J. Stefanich reminds residential property owners that it is essential and mandatory to notify his office upon satisfying their mortgage. In addition, Stefanich encourages residents who recently purchased a home, condominium, or co-op unit, or who just refinanced or transferred the mortgage on their property, to be sure that notification in writing is sent to James J. Stefanich, Receiver of Taxes, Town of Oyster Bay, 74 Audrey Avenue, Oyster Bay, NY, 11771-1539. “This will ensure that tax bills are received promptly by the homeowner,” Stefanich said. “A homeowner relying on a bank or mortgage company to notify the tax office may find there is a delay in billing the homeowner directly, which can lead to the imposition of a late payment penalty.”

“When writing, property owners should include the legal property description, including the school district, section, block, and lot numbers, as well as the name and address to whom current and future tax bills should be directed. In the case of condominiums, the building and unit number should be noted,” Stefanich said. Residents may also report their information in person by visiting the Office of the Receiver of Taxes. The Receiver noted that property owners residing in incorporated villages must also notify their village assessor. Homeowners requiring further assistance should contact the Office of the Receiver of Taxes at 516-624-6400. “The knowledgeable and courteous tax information specialists on my staff will be happy to assist you,” concluded Stefanich.

72 Hours in Philadelphia: Betsy Ross Was Far More than a Flag Maker, She was a Feminist BY KAREN RUBIN TRAVEL FEATURES SYNDICATE GOINGPLACESFARANDNEAR.COM

My third day of my deep-dive into Revolutionary War America in Philadelphia is devoted to exploring key figures and sites that I have never visited before: Benjamin Franklin Museum, the Betsy Ross House and the National Constitution Center. I especially appreciate what I am seeing after my visits to the newly opened Museum of the American Revolution and the National Museum of Jewish American History in the first two days. Betsy Ross was a pistol. The Betsy Ross House, in Philadelphia’s historic district best known for Independence Hall, proves a real surprise. I realize that all I know of Betsy Ross is that she created the first American flag. But this museum, which is operated as a private, nonprofit attraction, really conveys what a significant figure she was – independent when few women had any independence at all, a true patriot who was courageous in working on behalf of the Revolution. And, like Ben Franklin, what a modern person she was, who I can believe, would have been at the front of the Women’s Marches. Her story would be worthy of a drama: She was shunned by her Quaker family for eloping (at age 21) with John Ross, a man of a different

faith (he was the son of an Anglican Reverend). Imagine running off and marrying for love in 1773! She was independent: soon after they were married, John, who had joined

the street level where she had her own business sewing upholstery. Throughout her life, Ross was a savvy businessperson. She would have known General

the local militia in the cause of independence, was killed and she found herself a widow who had to fend for herself. Because they had no children, she was able to keep her property. She rented a room in this townhouse, as well as a shop on

George Washington from Christ Church which the young couple attended. You traipse through the small house – to the room she rented in what was a boarding house (not just for women) and realize how unusual

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

this is, and then, as you descend the stairs into the shop, much to my surprise, you meet Betsy Ross herself, sewing some fabric. You get to ask her questions about her life. I ask her what the date is – Nov. 5, 1776 - and really get into the spirit of the thing, knowing that she will only answer questions up to that point of her experience, when I know what comes next. She has been working on the flag in secret, upstairs in the room, where she keeps it hidden under fabric. Why did she take the risk? “My late husband was a patriot. I wanted to support Washington and make something to allow the spirit of my late husband live. We never had a child. [Creating the flag] this was like giving birth,” she tells me. She says that she went from father’s house to her husband’s. Now 24 years old, “the heaviness of a loss forces you to grow up in different manner. Being on my own is more difficult than I would have imagined.” Her husband, John, passed in January and she moved in to this townhouse in March. “This is the Widow Lithgow’s home –she rents to individuals. I rent a room and shop space from her. If I remarry, I will go to different lodging.” She would have lived here between 1776 and 1779. See page D2

72 Hours in Philadelphia: Betsy Ross Was Far More than a Flag Maker, She was a Feminist

Continued from page D1 She relates how General Washington had particular design in mind when he came to her earlier. He was open to suggestions, she says: his original idea for the symbol for American independence had the shape of square rather than rectangle (that was her idea). Also, Washington had wanted

six-pointed stars but Ross pushed to change the shape to five-pointed stars by demonstrating that it was easier and speedier to cut, and how she would sew it in so that the design could be seen on both sides. She tells me with an appropriate measure of sass in her tone that a trusted messenger brought her flag to Washington rather than come himself.

“He has heavier things on his mind – to win the battle, not a flag.” I never considered, before “meeting” Betsy Ross how courageous she was to make the flag – she could have been caught and jailed for sedition. I ask if she has met Ben Franklin (thinking that his printing shop is nearby), but she says that she knows of him but has not met him. “He’s out of town a lot. I hear he is quite taken with squirrels,” she says with a slight smile as she continues to sew. She actually had a very good business going during the American Revolutionary War, making flags for the Pennsylvania Navy. She is such an interesting character, I probe more to fill out the details of her life: Betsy Ross was born in 1752, and after attending a Quaker-run school, her father apprenticed her to an upholsterer. It was there that she fell in love with John Ross, a fellow apprentice, the son of an Anglican priest at the historic city parish of Christ Church, and the nephew of George Ross Jr. who was a signer of the Declaration of the Independence. The young couple eloped in 1773 when she was 21, marrying at Hugg’s Tavern in Gloucester City, New Jersey. The marriage resulted in her expulsion from the Quaker congregation. The young couple soon started their own upholstery business and later joined Christ Church, where their fellow congregants occasionally included the visiting Virginia Colony militia regimental commander who would soon become General of a newly organized Continental Army, George Washington, as well as other visiting notaries and delegates who would become leaders of the rebellion and later, members of the Continental Congress. They were married only two years when John Ross, a member of the local militia, was killed. They had no children. She continued working in her upholstery business for the Revolution, repairing uniforms and making tents, blankets, and stuffing paper tube cartridges with musket balls for ammunition for the Continental Army. On June 15, 1777, she married her second husband, Joseph Ashburn, a seaman. In 1780, Ashburn’s ship was captured by a Royal Navy frigate and he was charged with treason (for being of British ancestry, because the British did not recognize American colonial citizenship) and was imprisoned at Old Mill Prison in England. While he was imprisoned, their first daughter, 9-month old Zilla, died, and their second daughter, Eliza, was born. Ashburn, himself, died in the British jail.

Three years later, in May 1783, she married John Claypoole, who had coincidentally met Joseph Ashburn in the English Old Mill Prison and had been the one to bring her the news of her of her husband’s death. (Ross must have really been something, and the delightful young woman playing the part today conveys that spirit.) Betsy gave birth to five daughters with John Claypoole: Clarissa, Susanna, Jane, Rachel and Harriet (who died in infancy). With the birth of their second daughter, in 1786, they moved to a larger house on Philadelphia’s Second Street, settling down to a peaceful postwar existence. Philadelphia prospered as the temporary capital (1790–1800) of the newly independent United States of America, with George Washington as the first President, By 1812, John Claypoole’s war injuries had left him disabled; he died in 1817 after two decades of poor health. Betsy’s young daughter Clarissa, a widow herself, moved into their home with her five children and a sixth on the way. With Clarissa’s help, Betsy continued to run her upholstery shop and flag-making business. But after 50 years in the trade, Betsy’s rapidly failing vision forced her retirement at the age of 76. Betsy eventually became blind. She spent the last three years of her life living with her daughter Jane’s family on Cherry Street in Philadelphia. She died peacefully in her sleep on January 30, 1836, at the age of 84. Betsy Ross’s body was first interred at the Free Quaker burial grounds on North Fifth Street in Philadelphia (interesting in that the Quakers had shunned her so many years before); 20 years later, her remains were moved to the Mt. Moriah Cemetery in Philadelphia. Then, in 1975, in preparation for the American Bicentennial, the City ordered the remains moved to the courtyard of the Betsy Ross House. Cemetery workers found no remains beneath her tombstone, but bones found elsewhere in the family plot were deemed to be hers and were re-interred in the grave which we tourists can now visit at the Betsy Ross House. The museum does an excellent job of interpreting how women fared during this period, what it was like for the women and children left behind when their men went to war, and how they provided for themselves when they were widowed. I go down to the kitchen area in the basement where another woman interprets what it would have been like to have been a Washerwoman – one of the few professions that a woman who had to fend for herself could undertake. “Working as a laundress was a

difficult, low paying job in the 18th century; in early colonial period, many were enslaved or indentured servants; toward the end of the 18th century, most were free black women and widows struggling to support themselves.” We are introduced to Judath, an African American washerwoman employed by Elizabeth Drinker, a wealthy Quaker woman; Jane Gray, a widowed African American washerwoman, who was a member of the “Black Class” at St. George’s Methodist church and later joined St. Thomas’ African Episcopal church; Susanna Cook, a widow with two children who lived at 3rd & Walnut Streets, whose husband died in the Yellow Fever epidemic of 1793 and to earn a living, rented out rooms and worked as a washerwoman earning $3 a week; she fell ill in 1801 and died impoverished in an almshouse. There are special exhibits: “Stitching the Story Together: Betsy Ross and the American Flag” opens March 1; “Furnishing the Widow’s Chamber (opens March 1). Allocate about an hour to visit. Admission: Self-guided tour: $5/ adult, $4/seniors, children, vets,

students; add $2 for the audio tour (a child’s audio tour is available). Betsy Ross House, 239 Arch Street. 215-629-5801. Operated by Historic Philadelphia, Inc. 150 S. Independence Mall West, Suite 550, Philadelphia, PA 19106, 215-629-4026, visitorservices@ historicphiladelphia.org. When I leave the Betsy Ross House on my way to the National Constitution Center, I think how appropriate that other clothing/sewing places are also on this block, and just a few doors down, come upon Women’s Resistance – The Outrage (www.the-outrage.com). The brand was started 2016 – it was supposed to be celebratory for first woman president, but instead, has become an outlet for outrage and resistance for artists and activists. A portion of sales helps benefit organizations such as ACLU, Planned Parenthood, 350.org. The first store opened in DC; this one opened this fall, with other outlets planned across the country. Betsy Ross, who would likely have been a feminist today waving a new flag in the Women’s March, would have been very much a part of it. My immersion into Revolutionary

Across the Long Island Sound is a place I call home BY CLAIRE LYNCH

Over the years I’ve spoken to friends about special places they would go to get away from things for a while. Many of them were secret places, places they never told many people about. These places offered quiet and a break away from whatever the daily rat race happened to be at the time. Many people like to get away from it all by running, jogging, lifting weights, swimming, etc. I happen to like taking walks and seeing where I end up. It’s good exercise and I’ve found that wandering into sometimes unknown territory helps to keep me mentally alert. I’ve made some good discoveries by just wandering. This walking of mine has pretty much been a lifelong habit. Anyway, back when I was in college in Connecticut I would take walks around the campus’ beautiful grounds - I found out later that Fairfield’s campus is 200 acres - and one day without even realizing it, I came across a place that was elevated. Stopping and twirling about, I admired the trees, the land, the scenery. Then, looking way out, I spotted land. It was Long Island. The highest point on Fairfield’s grounds happened to be near the rectory and on a clear day I had a perfect view, across the Long Island Sound, of the North Shore of Long Island. My family didn’t live in Port Jefferson or Stony Brook, however. They didn’t live

on the North Shore but on the South Shore in Rockville Centre. After graduating from St. Agnes Cathedral High School in the 1970s I headed north to the Constitution State or to the Nutmeg State as my family and I were fond of calling it. I went to freshman orientation where we had a great, big barbecue on the university’s huge lawns and we newcomers had the chance to meet new classmates from all different areas. People were excited about being in a new school – and for some of us, it was far away from our homes. After the barbecue ended some of the older students showed us newbies around the campus. We all wanted to get our bearings. Ironically Fairfield University’s mascot is the stag just like at the high school I had attended in Rockville Centre so whenever I went to basketball games with my fellow classmates, there was a certain familiarity about it. By the way, a stag is another word for a buck, or a male deer. I don’t know if the décor of the dormitories has changed over the years but the dormitories I stayed in were pretty basic. The rooms for two people were adequate but not huge and they were famous for their cinderblock walls which made thumbtacking posters to See page D5

Taking Care of Mom in a Mom and Pop Business BY TOM MARGENAU

Q: My husband and I run a small business. We are in our early 50s. Our profits are modest, but usually enough to reach the Social Security taxable maximum. For years now, my husband has reported all the income under his name for Social Security purposes. We do this for two reasons. One: We think we will come out ahead if he has a bigger Social Security check. And two: I am a few years younger than my husband, and I think Social Security will be broke by the time I hit retirement age. So why should I bother paying into the system? What do you think of our plan? A: You may be onto something with your first bit of reasoning. And I will give you some food for thought about that in a minute. But you are way off base with your “Social Security will be broke so why pay into it” way of thinking. For almost 50 years now, people have been telling me that the system will go belly up before they ever have a chance to collect benefits. Of course, the people who told me that a half-century ago have been getting benefits for decades now (assuming they are still alive). Social Security has been paying benefits for more than 80 years. How long must the program be around before people accept the fact that it is here to stay? Sure the program faces some challenges because of the retirement of the baby-boom generation. But with a few relatively modest tweaks to its tax and benefit structure, it will be around for another 80 years. So now let’s get back to your idea that you and your husband come out ahead if all the Social Security credit goes in his name. I will give you a couple of examples that show how your Social Security benefits might play out depending on how you report your business income on your tax return. Plan A is the reverse of what you are doing now. In my Plan A, you and your husband split the business income equally. For example, let’s assume your business is paying taxes on the maximum Social Security taxable income -- currently $128,400. In other words, both you and your husband would claim half of that, or $64,200. The Social Security part of a self-employment tax return is called the Schedule SE. Each of you would file a Schedule SE reporting $64,200 to your respective Social Security accounts. And that means when you hit retirement age, both you and your husband would have roughly equal Social Security retirement benefits. (Of course, your actual benefit amounts could be impacted by other variables, like your dates of birth and any other income each of you might have before or after

your business venture.) But let’s just say, using today’s dollars, that each of you end up with $1,600 per month each in a Social Security retirement benefit. Your total Social Security income would be $3,200 per month. But you and your husband are currently doing what I will call Plan B. You report all the business income on the Schedule SE under your husband’s name and his Social Security number. When he reaches retirement age, he would end up with a much higher retirement benefit (let’s say $2,600 per month). And because you would have no Social Security on your own record, you would be due up to one-half of his benefit -- or $1,300 per month in dependent wife’s benefits. Your total Social Security income would be $3,900 per month. So at first glance, you would say that’s a no-brainer: doing what you are currently doing (Plan B) is the better choice -- from a strictly monetary Social Security retirement perspective. But from your own perspective, the Plan B scenario could turn out to be a big mistake. Over my career of 45-plus years dealing with Social Security issues, I have heard from thousands of women who were involved in a mom and pop business where pop employed Plan B (i.e., he took all the Social Security credit on their tax returns). And in many of these instances, the couple ended up divorced. And guess what happens to poor old mom? She has little or no Social Security credit for all the years of work she put into the business, which means she has little or no Social Security retirement. If you never remarry, you probably would collect divorced spousal benefits on your husband’s account. But that could end up being a meager return for your many years of contributions to the business. However, let’s say you can absolutely guarantee that you and your husband will remain in wedded bliss forever. There are still a couple other reasons why Plan B may not work out for you. One is the issue of Social Security disability benefits. We all don’t stay healthy until our golden years. There is a decent chance you might become disabled before reaching your mid-60s. Under Plan B (where your husband gets all of the Social Security credits), you would have absolutely no disability coverage from Social Security because you weren’t paying into the system. Whereas under Plan A (where you split the Social Security credits), you would qualify for monthly Social Security disability benefits if something happens to you -- and that could be potentially very valuable coverage for you and your family if that were to happen. And speaking of family, you also have to consider the possibility that you might die. For example, if you pass

away and if you have a couple of kids still at home when that happens, Plan B would provide no monthly survivor benefits for the children. But Plan A would be like setting up a little life insurance policy -- a policy that could be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years to your family. As I said so often over the years, I have seen many moms getting the short end of the Social Security stick in a mom

and pop business -- because husbands and/or their accountants employed Plan B without thinking things through. So you and your husband really need to talk things over before continuing on your current course. If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has the answer.

Across the Long Island Sound is a place I call home Continued from page D3 to the walls impossible. Out came the rolls of tape. Some fellow freshmen were locals like Blanka. In time I was invited to my friend’s house, met her parents and her siblings and inevitably we hung out in their living room or kitchen chatting as her parents cooked dinner. I have to say that wow, it felt good to be in someone’s home instead of in a dormitory or a classroom pretty much 24/7. Some of my professors were young adjunct professors and some were women with their master’s degrees and their Ph.D.s who became role models for me. I started college as an accounting major but I thought long and hard about my major, about what career I’d have when I graduated from college, and in my sophomore year I filled out the paperwork to switch majors. English is what I wanted to major in. In my writing classes and English literature classes I met fellow classmates from New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and other states. No offense to all of the accountants out there but I just couldn’t see myself doing other people’s tax returns for the rest of my life. If I worked as an accountant for a corporation would I enjoy working a 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. desk job all week long or would I prefer something with more flexibility? I was relieved and at the same time I was enormously excited about being able to plunge headfirst into all of my writing, literature, philosophy and foreign language classes. I had joined the university newspaper as a writer in my freshman year and now, as an English major, I felt that I was in the right place. As a freshman my accounting major status didn’t feel exactly right. But put the words English major and me in the same sentence and it felt good. It felt just right. On the newspaper, I was even more at home among my fellow writers and editors and photographers. We were the creative ones on the campus of Fairfield University. We were the artsy ones, the ones with flair and we were the risk takers, too, because even as students most of us knew that getting jobs after graduating from college would be hard. It would be very hard. Even then English majors were a dime a dozen compared to the pre-med students and the finance majors and my classmates that would go on to law school. We wrote some excellent articles for the university newspaper and had our heads on our shoulders but we

knew that we probably wouldn’t be the next Woodwards and Bernsteins of the world. We knew all about Watergate because we saw it on our TV screens and in the newspapers pretty much every day for months at a time. Watergate broke loose in June of 1972. In that month, on the sixth floor in the Watergate hotel and office complex in Washington, D.C., the headquarters of the national Democratic Party became a crime scene. Men planted listening devices inside the headquarters and then burglars trying to maintain those devices were caught inside the Watergate. (npr.org) Working for “The Washington Post,” Woodward and Bernstein slowly connected the burglary and other political crimes to the re-election campaign of President Richard Nixon. Woodward and Bernstein won a Pulitzer Prize in 1973 for their reporting. Nixon resigned on Aug. 9, 1974, in order to avoid facing impeachment. If we had any doubts about the concept of investigative reporting, Carl Woodward and Bob Bernstein had smashed that. We realized how powerful it could be and many afternoons and evenings we students sat around talking about the painstaking work the two men did in putting the pieces together. We were impressed by their hard work. From a hill near the rectory I could look on a clear day and see all the way across the Long Island Sound to Long Island. I’m not sure what town I saw when I looked all the way from southern Connecticut. I wasn’t sure how far away it was so later on I asked my dad. He said it was about 20 miles straight across and he agreed that it could have been Old Field, it could have been Belle Terre, it could have been Port Jefferson. He added that it had to be a crystal clear day in order for me to see the shores of Long Island from the campus See page D7

Nassau County Museum of Art Hits Highest Notes with ‘Anything Goes: The Jazz Age’ Exhibit BY KAREN RUBIN

What is most remarkable about the new exhibit at the Nassau County Museum of Art, “Anything Goes: The Jazz Age” celebrating the Roaring Twenties, is the cross-connections between art, music, literature, design, furniture and fashion, and the people who were similarly cross-pollinating these cultural categories. There is a drawing by George Gershwin, another by ee cummings, the original painting by Francis Cugat (brother of Xavier, the musician) that F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote into his iconic novel, “The Great Gatsby” and had to have for its cover (and has never before been seen outside

On view for the first time outside of Princeton University Library is Francis Cugat’s original painting, “Celestial Eyes” (ca 1925), that was the cover for F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsby” © Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com

the Princeton University Library). There are the Park Avenue Cubists, and the clique that gathered at Gerald & Sara Murphy’s beachhouse in Antibes (Sara, a famous Jazz Age muse, is the subject of a little-known Picasso drawing of her on the beach at Antibes). One room of the fantastic Frick mansion that is now home of the museum is devoted to Jazz Age music, with gramophones and Victrolas and radios that show off the design, while early records from the collection of Dr. Jay Tartell play. There are so many astonishments as you go through – James Joyce’s “Ulysses” was censored and burned but here in a bookcase is one of the first editions, along with a copy of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “This Side of Paris,” based on Hobey Baker, a World War I flying ace and Princeton hockey star and in a gallery, the original Hobey Baker Memorial Trophy. In this extraordinary multimedia exhibit, which is on view through July 8, you are immersed in the masterpieces and experiments of a generation that changed the history of Modernism. The giants among the artists - Picasso, Léger, Matisse, Beckmann, Nolde, Lachaise, Man Ray, Stuart Davis, Florine Stettheimer and Tamara de Lempicka - are all represented in the show with major works, but there are so many artists – particularly women artists – who will be new for many like Anna Walinska, a teenager from Brooklyn who lived in Paris during the ‘20s and met Picasso, Matisse, Stein and others while making the drawings and paintings which are on view in a solo gallery in the show. The exhibition tracks the progress of Modernism in art from Cubism to

George Gershwin’s “Portrait of Dr. Zilboorg Reclining on a Couch” © Karen Rubin/ goingplacesfarandnear.com

Neoclassicism. Composers such as Gershwin and Porter were taking syncopation and the blues to new heights at this time, and their records, sheet music, and piano rolls are on view and are heard throughout the show on ’20’s-era turntables and player pianos. The Ballets Russes, for whom Picasso and Chanel designed productions, broke all dance conventions and inspired a new wave of fashion, with examples in the exhibition curated by n oted expert on ’20’s fashion, JoAnne Olian. The exhibit’s pieces of Art Deco furniture and rare jewelry from the private collection of the Macklowe Gallery display the machine-age elegance that was in vogue. “We’re used to Cubism today, but these guys were brave,” museum director Charles A. Riley II, who organized the show, said at the opening reception. The show ties all the cultural strains together so you almost see the creative pollination from one discipline to another, all in an expression of a philosophy that defined the Jazz Age: “Living well is the best revenge” was the motto of an extraordinarily fortunate generation, anything but “lost,” that remains today the epitome of sheer creative freedom. Riley noted that though a sense of artistic “freedom” and breaking social and cultural conventions was the theme of the Roaring Twenties, it was “freedom plus order.” Lindbergh’s flight across the Atlantic to Paris that so inspired the sense of adventure and daring, was also an exercise in discipline. The show offers a comprehensive picture of the Jazz Age when World War I ended on November 11, 1918 and ended on October 24, 1929, when Wall Street crashed after its historic nineyear bull run. The commentaries and notes that accompany the exhibit are fascinating insights to the context for the creations and the people propelling them. In addition to art and design, the exhibition brings the age of superstars vividly to life with memorabilia celebrating the Golden Age of aviation, including a leather pilot’s helmet and goggles, photographs of Babe Ruth and a seat from the original Yankee Stadium built in 1923, original Victrola turntables and the first generation of radios, first editions of monumental novels and sheet music, and the original Hobey Baker trophy, the top honor for American college hockey (all players who visit wearing their team jersey during the run of the show will be admitted for free). As Riley, who donned his own Princeton hockey jersey, noted, Hobey Baker’s life was worthy of a movie – a World War I flying ace, at the end of the war he would likely have headed

to Wall Street; he took one last flight which proved fatal. The exhibition unveils some important historical discoveries, including previously unknown drawings by the poet cummings that were found by his dear friend Gaston Lachaise. Their friendship and collaboration is celebrated in a gallery that includes many of Lachaise’s greatest sculptures, including a monumental cast of Elevation, as well as his own drawings and a stunning portrait by cummings of the legendary supermodel Marion Morehouse. A fortunate group of American artists and writers in Paris during the ’20s, many of them in Stein’s circle, were pioneering a new style of abstraction, and the show boasts some significant canvases by Davis, as well as Charles Green Shaw, Gertrude and Balcomb Greene, Joseph Stella, Carl Holty, Jan Matulka, Charles Biederman and an unknown work on paper by Betty Parsons, who would become best known as one of the great champions of Abstract Expressionism. In another art historical coup, the show presents an unknown drawing by the model and muse Kiki de Montparnasse that had been hidden among the papers of Man Ray, whose portrait of Kiki is among the treasures on view, along with his portraits of Hemingway, Chanel, James Joyce and dancers from the Ballets Russes. The other major photographic finds in the show are by Carl Van Vechten, whose lens captured the jazz greats in Harlem nightclubs. The show also boasts an unknown drawing of Baker by the artist Paul Colin, whose posters, including rare examples included in the show, made her famous in Paris. “When I play hockey, I leave it all on ice,” Riley said, wearing his hockey jersey.”This show is everything I’ve got – my heart and head. All laid out.” Throughout the exhibit, there are fabulous photographs of these key figures that put you right into the moment. The Long Island connections in the show are among the highlights. F. Scott Fitzgerald published “The Great Gatsby” on April 10, 1925, but he started it two years before over the garage in a rented house in Great Neck. In his lecture, Scribner III, whose grandfather published the novel, will reveal the backstory of its progress from manuscript to masterpiece under the editorial guidance of Maxwell Perkins, who secured the iconic cover by Cugat. And Lindbergh took off from the storied air strip at Roosevelt Field, where Elinor Smith, the “Flying Flapper of Freeport,” set new records for altitude and endurance. Indeed, the local connections are also in the collectors who have loaned to the exhibit, including Dr. Jay Tartell

and Deborah Tartell who not only loaned the stunning gramophones, phonographs and victrolas, but also that sensational photo and autographed program of George Gershwin; and Dr. Harvey Manes, a trustee, who loaned several works. Drawing on museum, university and private collections, including those of the Heckscher Museum, Parrish Museum, Cradle of Aviation Museum, New York University Grey Art Gallery, and Princeton University, the wide-ranging exhibition has been underwritten by the Americana Manhasset and Wheatley Plaza, longtime supporters of the museum and its mission. In addition, the programming and

publications have been sponsored by generous gifts from The Ritz-Carlton Residences and by Charles Scribner III. Each week the show will feature special programming, including live jazz in the beautiful paneled library of the mansion, lectures by experts in the arts and design, and live demonstrations of the player piano and Victrola in addition to the museum’s renowned docent-led tours and education programs. Among the programming highlights are a May 12 lecture by Scribner, a popular speaker at the Morgan Library and Metropolitan Museum of Art, among other venues; an original cabaret musical based on the lives of Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald composed and performed by Angela Sclafani and

her ensemble; and tours of Jazz Age Manhattan led by museum director Charles A. Riley II, author of two books on the period. The museum is publishing a fully-illustrated catalogue of the exhibition with essays on the art, music and fashion of the era, and is re-launching the official website with special features keyed to the show. This year’s gala ball on June 9 will be themed “All That Jazz” with guests in costumes, Angela Susan Anton, Board President, announced. The Nassau County Museum of Art is located at One Museum Drive in Roslyn Harbor and is open Tuesday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 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.

G O I N G P L A C E S, N E A R & F A R ....

W R I T E R’S C O R N E R

Across the Long Island Sound is a place I call home Continued from page D5 of Fairfield University. The elevation of the campus is about 59 feet so it made sense that I would have a pretty good vantage point. When I walked over to the hill and up to its highest point, I was always pleased when I saw land across the Long Island Sound. It didn’t matter that I didn’t know what town I was looking at, I was just happy thinking about home. I wondered what my former high school and neighborhood friends were up to. I missed seeing them practically every day and I also missed the everyday routines at home. I missed watching my parents and my brothers and sisters going about their daily lives. What new things were all of my siblings learning and doing? My oldest brother is 12 years older than I and at that point he was busy working a finance job in Manhattan. My other siblings were busy, too. I confess that part of me was just a little bit homesick for Long Island. I didn’t want to leave Fairfield University – or the town of Fairfield – because I was enjoying my time there but sometimes I would wonder what my typical day would have been like if I had chosen to attend college on Long Island. What if I had stayed at home with my family and gone to Adelphi, Hofstra or C.W. Post? What escapades would I have had and what various things would I have learned? How would things have been different? Being up “up on the hill” as I called it I would think about my point of view. Sometimes I would laugh and tell myself that here I was in the crow’s nest – being high up and being able to see many things that the people several feet down couldn’t see – and I enjoyed having that advantage. I’d use my little break up on the hill as a mental break - as time away from my classes and homework and writing papers for my various professors - and

just being away from things for a little while would help me clear things up in my mind. What decisions did I have to make in the near future and in the months ahead? What could I do to make the most of my college studies and prepare for a future career? Where would I apply for jobs after I graduated from college? Would I start my career on Long Island or in New York City? It was exciting to think about the future. Like most college students I had a lot on my mind - and I took these decisions seriously. I remember that as an English major in my sophomore year my Shakespeare professor had us students reading three Shakespearean plays a week. “The Merchant of Venice,” “King Lear,” “The Tempest,” “Romeo and Juliet” and “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” (not my favorite play!). Those were just five of Shakespeare’s plays that we had to read that semester. My teacher’s list of required reading seemed to go on and on. That was a lot of reading for anyone to do. We didn’t use Cliff Notes or any abbreviated version of the plays – we read Shakespeare’s famous plays line by line and page by page. No one complained to our professor about all of this non-stop reading but I remember that we were all a little bleary eyed that particular semester. We English majors also had plenty of term papers to write, more, I discovered than many of my classmates who had chosen different majors. I didn’t mind doing them, they just were time consuming. So whenever I could take a little break I relished it. Up on the hill I would daydream about these various things then slowly turn away and walk back to my dormitory. By going up to the hill, I had gotten some exercise for the day – and had the chance to let my mind drift for a while. Since leaving Fairfield University I’ve heard that there have been lots of

changes. The university has expanded. New buildings have been built. The school has a pool now – something we didn’t have when I was a matriculated undergraduate student.

high point in the land. I bet there is still a place up on the hill where young students can look out across the land – and across the Long Island Sound – and wonder.

A musical month in Levittown schools

KIDS, while East Broadway Elementary School students rehearsed for their show The King and I, which they will showcase in April. Division Avenue High School students also impressed audience members during their multiple performances of Mary Poppins for the Levittown community to enjoy. In addition, General Douglas MacArthur High School embraced Music in Our Schools Month by sharing music facts over the daily announcements. Teacher Kenneth Walden created a segment called “Today in Music History,” where he provided daily information for morning and afternoon announcements. Each day, he shared three to four interesting music related historical facts that happened in history on the same day as the announcement. Walden also included birthdays of famous artists on each day.

Summit Lane students performed as Oompa Loompas during Willy Wonka KIDS.

In honor of “Music in Our Schools Month,” students and staff throughout the Levittown Public Schools celebrated their love of music in a variety of ways throughout March. Northside Elementary School students integrated art and music during the month by creating art projects that reflected music which were displayed throughout the hallways. They also celebrated with themed days such as Disney Musical Day, Northside-SingAlong Day and Classical Music Day. During music classes, students continued using the new QuaverMusic.com. The website program allows students to create different rhythms and beats by touching the Smart Board in the classroom. The district is subscribed to the program for the next two years. Levittown students also participated in musical productions throughout the month. Summit Lane Elementary School kicked off March with their production of Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka

Division Avenue High School students performed their production of Mary Poppins for the Levittown community.

Northside fourth-grader Agampreet Baidwan created music for his class with QuaverMusic.com.
