Town to honor vets in ‘Salute to America’

The Town of Oyster Bay is soliciting nominees for the Town’s Veterans Volunteer Awards, which will take place prior to the annual “Salute to America” program on Tuesday, July 10th at John J. Burns Town Park in Massapequa at 7pm. Residents are invited to nominate extraordinary individuals who have made a difference in our communities. “The Town is proud to recognize and honor amazing individuals who have helped to shape our communities for the better through their continuing advocacy and exemplary community service at our Salute to America concert each year,” Super-

visor Joseph Saladino said. “I look forward to recognizing the efforts of outstanding individuals yet again this year, and I invite residents to submit applications to nominate those who have impacted the lives of our veterans in an extraordinary way. Nominations are being accepted in three different categories of recognition: Veterans Volunteer of the Year (awarded to a veteran), Friend of Veterans Volunteer of the Year (awarded to a non-veteran), and Lifetime Achievement Award (awarded to a veteran or a non-veteran). All entries must include a supporting narrative describing the nominee’s

on-going veterans related activities, and all nominees must be Town residents. Winners will be recognized as part of a special program during the Town’s Salute to America concert, a patriotic evening of top-flight musical talent and fireworks, which serves as a thank you to all of our veterans and active military for protecting the freedoms we enjoy each and every day as Americans. To submit a nomination for the Veterans Awards, please visit www. oysterbaytown.com or call (516) 7977925 for an application. All nominations must be postmarked no later than June 20, 2018.

The Town of Oyster Bay plans an intensified enforcement initiative aimed at unlicensed and uninsured landscaping operating in the town. Through this new initiative spearheaded by the Town Quality of Life Task Force, the Departments of Planning and Development, Public Safety and Sanitation have partnered to issue Notices of Violation and Summons against illegal operations in the Town. In the past two weeks, the town has issued over 100 notices of violation and eleven criminal court appearance tickets. T According to the town, its permitting process assures residents that the contractor is accountable. Residents can identify a Town-licensed landscaper by the identification decal affixed to the driver’s side door of each vehicle and to the left rear bumper of any trailer used in the course of business. Contractors are also required to carry the license or a photocopy signed by the licensee at all times. Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino said, “It’s easy to forget to ask if the person caring for your lawn is licensed and insured, but it’s even easier to forget how much liability can be created if they get hurt on the job while working at your home. Without a license and the proper insurance, you could suddenly be on the hook for injuries. We remind residents to always ask landscapers for up-to-date business licenses, worker’s compensation insurance, and general liability insurance. The good ones will produce those items without question.” Officials are also enforcing Town Code which limits landscapers’ ability to perform work during the following hours: Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.; and Saturday, 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.; with no work permitted on Sunday. Upon receiving notice of violation from the Town of Oyster Bay, responsible individuals in violation of Town Code may face court-imposed fines for each violation, and could ultimately face revocation or suspension of their license.

In honor of Earth Day, the Hicksville High School’s Ecology Club created posters to help the district’s elementary students celebrate at their schools. Club members conducted research on conservation, recycling, and helping endangered species and then created several posters. These posters were

distributed throughout the district and used to decorate the halls of Woodland, East Street, and Old Country Road schools as inspiration for future Earth Protectors in conjunction with school coordinated Earth Day events.

District embraces flexible classroom design options

Gardiners Avenue students worked together on the stand-up whiteboard.

Fourth-graders in Jennifer O’Brien’s class at Summit Lane School read while utilizing the different flexible seating options. Educators throughout the Levittown Public Schools are starting to take a nontraditional approach to classroom design by creating a more flexible classroom space that encourages collaboration and helps increase student concentration. Elementary schools such as Summit Lane and Gardiners Avenue have incorporated new flexible seating options into their classrooms, and math classrooms at Division Avenue and MacArthur High Schools have embraced a new classroom model that eliminates the need for individual desks. Just last month, fourth graders in Jennifer O’Brien’s class at Summit Lane School have started to utilize new

seating options to integrate multi-sensory activities into the curriculum. With the help of occupational therapist Jaime Spencer, the classroom was transformed to include standing desks, disc cushions filled with air, wobble seats or round stools, crate seats with padded tops, and kneeling pads. According to Spencer, these new seating options have the ability to help students stay alert and focused, promote proper balance, strength and postural control as well as give those who need to move a proper outlet. “Many children struggle to sit in their standard classroom chair throughout the day,” said Spencer. “Some chil-

dren don’t have the core strength and postural control to hold themselves up without slumping or slouching. Other children just need to move. By incorporating various seating options, the children are able to select the learning position that is best for them.” Gardiners Avenue School has also recently embraced new classroom furniture options. Students have the opportunity to utilize stand-up whiteboard desks, cushioned rocker style chairs, and colorful stools that allow movement to help students stay alert by moving if they need to. Northside Elementary School plans to incorporate flexible seating into their classroom design plans for the start of the 2018 school year. Among their plans, the school will be departmentalizing the fifth-grade wing of the building to include whiteboard tables and a couch in each room for seating. At the high school level, math teachers from Division and MacArthur high schools have incorporated round tables in lieu of desks. The idea began with MacArthur High School math teacher Joanna Sanford. During a workshop,

From left: MacArthur High School students Devin Mickity, Vinny Crapanzano, and Mia Verdi collaborated together in their math class.

Sanford was challenged to consider an alternative classroom configuration. She reflected on her own experience in the classroom and how difficult it was to navigate around her room filled with desks. She thought tables would be a sufficient way to enhance collaboration among students and be a better solution for the classroom space. Three math classrooms in each high school have been transformed into these new math communities, filled with round tables that can seat up to five students. Educators can walk around to help students, while math activities and peer collaboration can take place with ease. “From my perspective, I have witnessed a very positive transformation in these new classrooms,” said Director of Mathematics and Business Dr. Ellen Stegman. “They are joyful and productive spaces that facilitate higher levels of mathematical learning. Students are communicating, collaborating and creating mathematics together!”

Levittown Community Council honors 3 outstanding students

SCHOOL AND CAMP DIRECTORY 2018

LITTLE LAXERS SUMMER PROGRAM Roslyn & Garden City Locations

Girls & Boys North Shore & South Shore Summer Camps For Girls & Boys Ages 3 to 7

Due to popular demand, Medusa Lacrosse, the Garden City community’s premier, go-to youth lacrosse program has expanded to Roslyn/Port Washington/Manhasset area. We are just wrapping up our first season on the North Shore and our parents have been gracious enough to sum up our program quite nicely:

Left to right: Ginny Isola, treasurer; Tom Kohlman, 1st vice president; Eunice Lee of Jonas E. Salk Middle School; Town of Hempstead Councilman Dennis Dunne Sr.; Ritika Patel of Wisdom Lane Middle School; New York State Assemblyman John Mikulin; Erin Frietz of Island Trees Middle School; Bob Koenig, director; Pat Patane, president; Mary Kay Ross, corresponding secretary; and Nassau County Legislator John Ferretti. Students were honored as Junior Volunteers of the Year by the Levittown Community Council recently. First place winner was Eunice Lee of Wantagh, who attends Salk Middle School. Runners-up were Ritika Patel of Levittown, who attends Wisdom Lane Middle School and Erin Fietz of Bethpage, who attends Island Trees Memorial Middle School. Lee was cited for her work with Civil Air Patrol, National Junior Honor Society, Tri-M Honor Society, and her church. She has participated in the Vietnam Medal Ceremony, in Charity Pink Out to raise money for breast cancer, in the food pantry at her church, and at the VA Medical Center where she has performed on the cello with her brother for the veterans. Her goal is to attend the United States Air Force Academy and pursue a career in the medical field. Her teacher, Mr. Martin, says, “Eunice is a bright, empathetic, and determined young leader.” Patel has served as a docent for the Counting By 7s event, as a library helper, as a server at the Kiwanis pancake breakfast, and at the LEADD Fair. She has helped out with the school food drive by baking and collecting food donations with the Key Club at King Kullen. Moved by a video she saw on starving polar bears, she has helped raise funds for wildlife conservation with the Polar Bears Club. Teacher Deborah Blum wrote, “She is an Honors student who is kind to everyone.”

Described by her teacher, Taryn Aponte, as a leader to her peers and academically, Fietz is a member of the Student Leader Corps and serves as a role model in dedicating herself to her school and community. She has volunteered her time for school projects such as Sports Night and Breakfast with Santa. As a volunteer with Little Hands Helping Little Hands, she has baked desserts for the residents of Ronald McDonald House and has shared her outstanding math abilities as a peer tutor with other students. Each year, Levittown Community Council honors three students who have done outstanding volunteer work in their school and in the community. A student from each of the local schools is selected by faculty of that school and the board of directors of the Council selects the first place winner. The students are presented with certificates by the Council and prizes for each of the winners are donated by Sterling National Bank and VFW Post 9592 of Levittown. The certificates congratulate the students on their accomplishments and thanks them for the work they’ve done. Each certificate says, “Your efforts and acts of kindness are an example of the spirit the Levittown Community Council wishes to encourage in residents and those who have a stake in our community.”

“Justin has participated in a lot of sports programs and I have to say you truly do an amazing job and offer such a wonderful program. My husband and I were so excited when Medusa Little Laxers began a program on the North Shore. My four year old son LOVES going to practice. He wakes up every day asking if he has lacrosse and what the theme is going to be. He constantly asks us to take him outside to practice what he has learned. The coaches have such a contagious energy that make learning fun! At the first practice I was immediately impressed by the coaches ability to keep the kids moving and engaged. Thank you Medusa!” Jessica – Manhasset Resident “I didn’t think a 4 year old could pick up lacrosse without being frustrated. I was so wrong. Medusa Little Laxers is such an awesome program. My son has gotten better every practice, learning new skills and gaining confidence. It’s he’s favorite after school program and looks forward to it all week. Thank you so much to Jackie and her team for an amazing & fun experience.” -Lauren, Manhasset Resident

The Little Laxers program has introduced thousands of children ages 3-7 to the sport of lacrosse and helped nurture a love and passion for the game. Medusa is run by the Fiore sisters who were both 4 year starters on the G.C. High School Varsity Lacrosse Team and went on to play collegiate Division 1 level lacrosse at Princeton and Boston College. The program is known for its energy, positivity, creativity and ability to break down all the core concepts and fundamentals into fun drills and games that are challenging, competitive and appeal to those children who are hesitant to try a new sport.

East Broadway students learn about American flag from veterans Fourth and fifth-graders at East Broadway Elementary School received a visit from local veterans Andrew Booth, Michael Capillo, Al Gravina, and Angelo Manzo on May 18th to learn more about the American flag, including its symbolic meaning and how to respect it. The four veterans from the Levittown American Legion Post 1711, played a video for the students about the American flag’s significance in the United States, which followed with the students answering questions about the flag’s history. They learned how to properly hold and display the flag and how to discard an old flag.

Principal Jeanmarie Wink was invited to come up during the presentation with several students to learn how to correctly fold the American flag. The veterans worked with the students to teach them the proper folding technique. At the end of the presentation, they answered questions that the students had and received a warm thank you from Wink for their service. “We appreciate everything you have done for our country, and without your support, we would not be here learning in a school system like we are today. Thank you very much,” she said.

Seneca Falls Hails its Role in Birthing Women’s Rights BY KAREN RUBIN TRAVEL FEATURES SYNDICATE GOINGPLACESFARANDNEAR.COM

We finish our 62-mile ride on this third day of our 8-day, 400-mile Parks & Trails NY Cycle the Erie biketour in Seneca Falls, renowned as the birthplace of Women’s Rights, where the organizers have arranged for the major sites, including the Women’s Rights National Historical Park, to stay open for us, and for a shuttle bus to take us from our campsite on the grounds of the Mynderse Academy into the downtown. My impression of the Women’s Rights National Historical Park, operated by the National Park Service, has not changed from my first visit two years before: It is an absolute dud, especially when you consider the innovations in museums – especially compared to Fort Stanwix National Historic Site in Rome and the Erie Canal Museum in Syracuse (both of which we will see in coming days). What is more, the NPS rangers who run the site know how antiquated and uninspiring – even disrespectful to women and the struggle for equality - the exhibit is and revealed a frustration in their inability to improve it. There are no new insights or inspiration to be gained. The exhibit doesn’t have a clear theme, point or focus: is it about how and why the Women’s Rights movement started here in Seneca Falls (the influence

The Seneca-Cayuga Canal brought factories, like the Seneca Knitting Mill, which employed women who questioned why they couldn’t keep their own money, igniting the women’s rights movement in Seneca Falls. It will soon house the Center for Great Women © Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com of the Oneida Indians, which allowed women to become chiefs, have property and retain custody of their children, on Melinda Gage, for example; the prevalence of Quaker women among the early women’s rights leaders who had roles in their church; and the number of factories, spurred by the Erie Canal, which in turn employed women who subsequently wanted

equal pay and to control their earnings)? Is it about the leaders of the movement, the courage they needed and how they persevered? What about exploring why it took 80 more years for women to get the vote, even after former slave men got their (theoretical) right to vote after the Civil War? Nor does it confront the controversies behind the continuing fight for

women’s rights: why women still don’t earn as much as men for the same work, what is the “glass ceiling”. What role does the lack of affordable, accessible child care and healthcare play, and the mother-of-all controversies: why are women’s reproductive rights still so tenuous? And, oh yes, why See page D2

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

Seneca Falls Hails its Role in Birthing Women’s Rights

Continued from page D1 are women still so underrepresented in elected office, including the highest office in the land, the Presidency? What is glaringly obvious is that the exhibit reflects the 1980s Reagan perspective – more Phyllis Schafly than Gloria Steinem – a half-assed, slap-inthe-face, disrespectful, condescending lip service to women’s rights and the ongoing struggle. If there is a theme, it is that women should be grateful for the opportunity to work in occupations beyond teaching, secretarial and nursing – but nothing about pay equity or glass ceilings or sexual harassment. To Reagan (and now Trump), women’s rights are simply a way of supplying more workers and keeping wages low. No discussion of how laws and the lack of anti-discrimination laws helped keep women down: How a woman could be raped, beaten, killed by her husband – was not much more than property (as were children) – and how a woman’s property became her husband’s. How women could be fired from jobs once married or pregnant or had children or reached a certain age or weight, or not hired at all merely because of gender. How insurance companies could charge women more (preexisting condition for being able to give birth). How landlords could refuse to rent to a woman without a husband’s signature; banks would not loan money for a home or business; how women couldn’t get a license to practice law. Sexual harassment”? The phrase was only invented in the 1970s, as the modern Woman’s Movement came into flower. What did not having a vote mean for women in society? What happened when

women were widowed or divorced? Why were there certain professions that women were steered into – like teaching, secretarial work, factories and nursing, positions which as a result tended to be woefully underpaid? What was the role of the Church in suppressing women’s rights ( a question that is relevant today)? That is, except for the Quakers who were the earliest advocates of women’s rights. What was the influence of the Oneida Indians, which gave women property rights, custody of children and the ability to become a tribal chief, on the early feminists including Melinda Gage (the mother-in-law of Frank Blum who wrote Wizard of Oz). Where is the discussion of the women who opposed suffrage, equal rights (ie. Equal Rights Amendment, Phyllis Shafly), even the fact that Eleanor Roosevelt initially was not a supporter of women’s suffrage (until happened), and the women today who oppose a woman’s right to choose (then and still today)? Instead of “women’s rights” (and this is pretty typical of women’s issues generally), the exhibit goes off track into the bigger topic of civil rights (abolition, the Underground Railroad). This should be seen in the context of how women were the backbone of the movement to end slavery, but after the Civil War, fully expected to win the vote along with freedmen, but instead only black men got the right to vote (such as it was, before Jim Crow). Also, it gives a nod to Jacksonian Democracy but doesn’t answer the question how white men without property got to vote without the need for a Constitutional

amendment, but women didn’t get the vote until the 19th Amendment was finally ratified in 1920. The exhibit is largely devoid of the heroic women (except for the sculpture) who fought for suffrage, and what the fight was like (locked up, force-fed). There’s copy of Lily Ledbetter act signed by Obama in a case in the lobby, but no explanation or context. There is a film in a lovely auditorium, “Dreams of Equality,” (delightfully cool and relaxing after biking 62 miles in the hot sun) which dramatizes the early internal debate over breaking out of the constrained role women were relegated to, is woefully and pathetically outdated – the historic elements aren’t bad but the pseudo “conversations” between girls and boys is frankly stupid and archaic. But in the film, one of the main characters loses her husband in the Civil War and one woman says to the other, “If a woman had a say in making laws, there would be no wars,” to which the other woman replies, “If we had a say, who would listen?” And in another bit of dialogue, the woman wonders, “Don’t women also have rights?” to which her brother responds, “What men most prize in a woman is affection.” You also visit the Wesleyan Chapel where the first Women’s Rights convention was held in 1848 and the “Declaration of Sentiments,” modeled after the Declaration of Independence was signed. The structure’s history can be a metaphor for the ambivalence of American society to women’s rights: From 1843-1871 it was chapel, then an opera house/performing arts hall; then

a roller skating rink, a movie theater (in 1910s), then a Ford dealership, and ironically enough, was a laundromat before facing a wrecking ball. Women fought to save the building, and in 1982, during the Reagan Administration, it was turned into a national park. (Womens’ Rights National Historical Park, 136 Fall Street, Seneca Falls, NY 13148, 315-568-0024, www.nps.gov/wori.) To put faces to the women’s movement, I walk down Seneca Falls’ main street to the National Women’s Hall of Fame. It is still in a ground floor storefront in a former bank building, awaiting its move into the factory building that was the Seneca Knitting Mill across the canal. This is most appropriate because the mill was where a number of the early feminists came from (they had a taste of earning their own money and were fired when they asked for wages equal to men). This massive factory, which dates from 1844, was owned by two men, Charles Hoskins and Jacob Chamberlain, who were among the 32 who supported women’s right and signed the Declaration of Sentiments which came out of the Women’s Rights Convention. That is saying something because out of the 300 people (40 of them men) who attended the convention in the Wesleyan Chapel in 1848, only 32 people signed the Declaration (most of the women did not sign on for voting rights). The Seneca Knitting Mills, which operated until 1999 (can you believe it!), manufactured heavy woolen socks for 150 years, and then went the way of 50,000 other factories in the US. The plan is to turn the 170-year-

old limestone building into the hall of fame, research center and museum celebrating women and their accomplishments, to be called the Center for Great Women. When I was in school, I could count on one hand the number of women who were presented as heroic figures - Madame Curie, Molly Pitcher (who I learn may have been fictional but still representative of women who took up the guns when their husbands were killed in the Revolutionary War), and the reporter, Nellie Bly. I am thrilled to find Nellie Bly among the honorees. Her real name was Elizabeth Cochrane Seaman (18641922, honored in 1998), and was a trailblazing journalist considered to be the “best reporter in America” who pioneered investigative journalism (hence the pseudonym); Paulina Kellogg Wright Davis, (1813-1876, honored 2002), who headed the committee that organized the first National Women’s Rights Convention in Worcester, MA in 1850, helped found the New England Women’s Suffrage Association and established Una, one of the first women’s rights newspapers; Amelia Bloomer (1818-1894), the first woman to own, operate and edit a newspaper for women, The Lily (first published in 1849 in Seneca Falls) and whose penchant

for wearing full-cut pantaloons under a short skirt (as a protest to the way women were expected to dress), gave birth to the term “bloomers”. It turns out there were dozens and dozens of women, going back to Colonial times, who did really important things. The women who are honored here are not necessarily honored as feminists, but for their accomplishments. “Women’s stories are not told,” the organization notes. “Less than 10% of the content of history books references women. Students cannot name 20 famous American women through history, excluding sports figures, celebrities and First Ladies. Only 20% of news article are about women. A society that values women values all of its members. By telling the stories of great American women through exhibits and educational resources, the Hall will make a future where all members of society are valued a reality.” (Indeed, the New York Times, during this year’s Women’s History Month, began publishing obituaries of women who were overlooked in their own time.) Founded in 1969, the Women’s Hall of Fame actually predates the Women’s Rights National Historic Park (one could say it even was at the very cusp of the Women’s Movement

The bank building on Fall Street where the Women’s Hall of Fame is currently located in Seneca Falls could easily be the Bailey Brothers Building and Loan from Frank Capra’s film classic, ”A Wonderful Life.” There are many connections between Seneca Falls and the mythical Bedford Falls © Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com which really emerged in the 1970s). And when you contemplate the timeline of the biographies, you get a better understanding of the historical context of the Women’s Rights Movement.

BY LOU THEODORE Memories! Flash back to the World War II years (1941 – 45) that spanned my 7-11 age years. The location was just north of Hell’s Kitchen, presently home to Lincoln Center. One of the key memories during that period of time that has yet to leave me was dining out on Sundays approximately once a month. It was the Greek restaurant, The Acropolis, located on 60th Street, just west of Central Park. I wish it were still around. I can still taste the roast lamb and pastitsio, your author’s two favorite Greek dishes. Enough on the old days. On to this, the 3rd Edition of Great Eats. First, there was Great Eats I. Then there was Great Eats II: Italian Restaurants (April 2017). Well, what would follow? Naturally, Great Eats III: Greek Restaurants. Most of you know that I was not only born and raised (early years) by Greek immigrant parents in Hell’s Kitchen but also spent my formative years prior to marriage in Astoria, a colony of Greece located in Queens (I have such fond memories of Astoria; I was extremely fortunate to spend 15 years living there). So, if one wants to discuss Greek food, a review of Greek restaurants in Astoria would

On Great Eats III: Greek Edition be absolutely appropriate. Therefore, there will be two parts to this restaurant review for this GREAT EATS article: restaurants in Astoria and North Hempstead/Nassau County.

Astoria

Some have referred to Astoria as a suburb of Athens and for good reason: the restaurants. My favorite is the Neptune Diner, unquestionably the best diner in New York City. But there are many other good restaurants. Here is a sampling of those to consider when in Astoria, Queens. • Elias’ Corner: A favorite seafood place. Upscale, great seafood, easy parking, and reasonable service. A bit pricey. I wasn’t impressed, but others love the joint. • MP Taverna: Very high reviews in the press. Upscale. Excellent food. Fair service. Near impossible to park. My people loved the place, but I’m passing. • Neptune Diner: It was my favorite 65 years ago and it’s still my favorite. Expansive menu. Great food. Big portions. Very reasonable prices. Comfortable. No problem parking. The avgolemeno soup and chicken lemonado is the absolute best, anywhere. • Stamatis: One of my favorites.

Reasonable prices. Excellent food. Loud. Lousy service. Valet parking. I love everything on the menu. You can’t go wrong here. • Taverna Kyclades: The seafood is great and is very reasonably priced. Comfortable but tables are jammed together. The problem with the place is that there are ALWAYS long waits and it is near impossible to park. • Telly’s: Similar to Stamatis. A bit more expensive. Not for me. You also need to visit one of a host of pastry shops. Baklava is the favorite pastry. But my friends and family prefer the galakobouriko – try it, you won’t be disappointed.

North Hempstead / Nassau County

Bad news! I’ve yet to eat at a Greek restaurant in our area that compares to those in Astoria. My spies tell me that Limani and Kyma (both in Roslyn) are excellent. Both are for those who enjoy getting ripped off since they are hellaciously expensive. I suggest passing but some have recommended lunch. I found Limani a beautiful restaurant –with lousy service, reasonable, but only with their early-bird specials ($40). In any event, here are my comments on six Greek (not Mediterranean) restaurants (in alphabetical order) in our local area.

• Greek Corner, Carle Place: Very reasonably priced. Some special deals. Comfortable seating. Ample parking. Food is average at best. Pass. • Gyrolicious, Jericho: Not for me. • Opa Grille, Williston Park: Opa can be loosely interpreted as “hail”. One of the better ones. Ample parking. Comfortable seating. A bit pricey with small portions but the food is above average. One of my family’s favorites, but not for me. • Platia Greek Station, Syosset: A relative newcomer. As with most new arrivals, the prices are unreasonable. Ample parking. Comfortable seating. Although the food is above average, I’ll pass. • Santorini Greek Restaurant, Merrick: Named after the island. My favorite for this area. I’ve sent numerous friends there and no one has yet to complain. Ample parking. Comfortable seating. The salad (with dinner) is great. My favorite is the half-chicken with the lemon potatoes. My wife loves the seafood house favorite. • Yasoo Yeeros, Plainview: Yasoo can be loosely interpreted as “greetings”. Ample parking. Comfortable See page D6

More Questions About the Timing of Social Security Checks BY TOM MARGENAU

Q: I think you covered this issue in a past column. But I’m still confused. I will turn 66 on Aug. 28, 2018. I want to start my Social Security then. And because I know that Social Security checks come one month behind, I understand that the first check I will be due will come in September. So when I sign up for Social Security, do I tell them I want my benefits to begin in August or September? A: You tell them you want your benefits to begin in August. You are right that Social Security checks are sent out one month late. In other words, your August payment will be deposited into your bank account in September. But don’t worry about the timing of the delivery of your Social Security check. Just worry about which month you want your Social Security eligibility to begin. And since you want your benefits to start at age 66, and you are 66 in August, then that is the month you tell them you want your benefits to start. Q: My mother passed away on March 27, 2018. The Social Security people are now demanding the check that was deposited in April (the March payment) be returned to them. How can that be? We paid her mortgage and other bills with the money taken out of her checking account. I agree that she shouldn’t get the money for the entire month of March. But why are they trying to steal her money for the 27 days she was alive? A: The Social Security Administration isn’t trying to steal your mom’s money. They are just following the law. And that law has always said that benefits are not prorated. That’s actually good news on the front end of someone’s eligibility for benefits. In other words, you get benefits for your whole first month of eligibility, even though you might not be technically eligible for benefits for the whole month. No one ever complains about that. But it can be bad news on the tail end of someone’s eligibility for benefits -- in other words, after a beneficiary dies. Of course, the deceased never complains about that, but his or her relatives always do. For example, the guy who wrote the first question in this column turns 66 on Aug. 28. He will get a Social Security check for August, even though he is 66 for only three days of that month. That probably makes him happy. But someday he is going to die. And if that happens to be near the end of a month, his family will have to return the check that is delivered the following month. And I am sure they will be upset about that and gripe about the fact that

benefits are not prorated. They will probably never know that when he first started getting Social Security, that lack of proration really helped him. Sadly, your mother didn’t live the whole month of March. So because benefits are not prorated, you are not due the March payment. But I hope she enjoyed the little bonus she got when she started getting Social Security. Q: My father, who was a widower, died on April 2, 2018. His March Social Security check that was due to arrive on April 11 was never deposited into his bank account. But wasn’t he due that check? A: Yes, he was -- because he was alive the whole month of March. But the law requires banks to return Social Security checks for their deceased depositors. So you should call Social Security at 800-772-1213 and explain the situation. You will be asked to fill out a form, and the proceeds of that check will be sent to you -- or divided up between you and your siblings if you have brothers and sisters. Q: In a prior column, you explained that Social Security checks are sent on the second, third or fourth Wednesday of the month, depending on a person’s date of birth. But I get my check on the third of each month. How come? Q: According to what you wrote in a prior column, I should be getting my check on the third Wednesday of each month. But I have been getting my check on the second Wednesday, the same date as my husband. I just thought you should know. A: These are just a couple examples of many emails I got following a column I wrote about Social Security check delivery dates. In that column, I explained that if you were born on the 1st through the 10th of the month, your Social Security check will be delivered on the second Wednesday of each month. If you were born on the 11th through the 20th, you get paid on the third Wednesday. And if you were born on the 21st through 31st, Social Security sends your check on the fourth Wednesday. I guess I should have said those delivery dates work as a general rule. Almost all people reading this column will get their Social Security checks as explained above. I can explain why some folks get their benefits on the third of each month. Before the Social Security Administration started staggering the delivery of Social Security checks about 20 years ago, everyone got their benefits on the third day of the month. When they changed the rules, they said that people already getting their checks on that day would continue to do so. So those of you receiving your benefits on the third must have been getting Social Security checks for a very long time.

More than a few women wrote to tell me that they get their benefits on the same day as their husband, corresponding to his birthdate. I can’t really explain that. It might have something to do with a woman getting benefits on a husband’s record and whose Social Security eligibility is tied in with his account.

Of course, it really doesn’t matter which day of the month you get your check, as long as it shows up on time each month.

On Great Eats III: Greek Edition C ontinued from page D3 seating. Price is reasonable and so is the food. There are dozens of others including Grecian Grille (Farmingdale), Greek Place (New Hyde Park), Greek Tavern (Rockville Centre), Mykonos Taverna (Manhasset), Souvlaki Stop (Mineola), etc., etc. The above list would not be complete without the addition of other special/ unique places to enjoy Greek food. For diners, my favorite is the Old Westbury Diner (Westbury), owned and operated by the Dimas family; the Apollo Diner in Merrick is also one of the better ones. Greek festivals include St Paul’s

(Garden City Park) in early summer and the Port Washington Harborside in early fall. The food was once great but the quality and price have gone awry and in wrong directions. Pass on Harborside because of the parking and traffic control. Of the supermarket foods, I recommend North Shore Farms, Mineola; their pastitsio is the absolute best. Finally, Harry’s Hilltop Deli (in Williston Park) offers some excellent dishes. The best Greek restaurant? It may be in Tarpon Springs, Florida, a community overrun with Greeks and Greek-Americans. Pappas, was the most famous of all restaurants in earlier days. Today, it is

Mykonos, a hole-in-the-wall semi-diner, named after an island located off mainland Greece. It is a restaurant that two “Greeks,” along with your author, regularly visit. The other two Greeks? Tex Zoucourides, (I was his best man and our daughter, Molleen’s, Godfather) a retired baseball umpire and teamster rep, and Ernie Haridopolos, a retired superhero (legitimately) from the presently disgraced FBI. Dinner there is one of the highlights during each of my trips to the West Coast of Florida. My recommendations, if you are lucky to stop by, include: (1) the combination platter, (2) lamb chops, and (3) lamb sevetsky. P.S. I also need to comment on three additional stops.

1. I highly recommend two Portuguese restaurants: Heart of Portugal, Mineola, and Lisbon Café, Carle Place. Both got high marks. 2. Try Mr. Chen’s Chinese Restaurant, Carle Place– a local gem – for excellent food and very reasonable prices … but slow service. 3. I’ve been at the Swing the Teapot restaurant in Floral Park three times. The food is excellent and very reasonably priced; the service is also excellent. Try to stop by when the group Hell and High Water are entertaining (perhaps next fall). You’ll love them and the place.

I so appreciate the diversity of the women represented, especially in the 20th century, when women do have more educational and professional opportunities: astronaut Sally Ride; tennis player Billie Jean King who broke through for women’s athletics; Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sandra Day O’Connor. Madeleine Albright, Bella Abzug, Oprah Winfrey, Lucille Ball, Dorothea Lange,

We commiserate over the life-size portrait of Hillary Rodham Clinton, who was already in the Hall of Fame as First Lady and New York Senator, the first woman to be a presidential candidate of a major political party, but should have been the first woman President.

150th Running of Belmont Stakes, Featuring Triple Crown Contender Justify, Kicks off With 3-Day Festival Belmont Stakes Week was kicked off by Nassau County Executive Laura Curran at Belmont Park. She was joined by New York Racing Association (NYRA) CEO Chris Kay, Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder, Department of Health Commissioner Dr. Lawrence Eisenstein, Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) President Phillip Eng and Nassau County Industrial Development Chairman Richard Kessel. “The Belmont Stakes has existed for 150 years and it is one of the largest sporting events in the world,” said County Executive Curran. “Every year, it provides a major economic boost to Nassau County.” The Belmont Stakes Racing Festival taking place at Belmont Park from Thursday, June 7 through Saturday, June 9, has quickly become an exciting way for sports fans to kick off the summer season in New York. The festival includes the very best in thoroughbred racing alongside world-class entertainment and premium hospitality options, said Kay. Attendance is expected to reach 90,000. And for the first time since 2015, Belmont Park will play host to a Triple Crown contender with Justify looking to achieve racing immortality and a newly-designed award. The spectacular new Triple Crown trophy, designed by sculptor Roberto Santo and created by silversmith Ubaldo Vitali, was unveiled at the press conference. The trophy stands 36 inches high and weighs about 45 pounds. During the course of the three-day festival, there will be 33 races, including 18 stakes, offering $9.4 million in purses, according to Kay. Entertainment will be top notch this year. Third Eye Blind will headline the performance lineup for the 2018 Belmont Stakes Racing Festival with trackside pre- and post-race concerts on June 9. Belmont Stakes Day will include a performance from the hit Broadway musical A Bronx Tale. On Friday, June 8, fans can enjoy a performance from the acclaimed Billy Joel tribute band Mike DelGuidice and Big Shot at the end of live racing. The Nassau County Police Department outlined traffic and security issues and the LIRR outlined its operations for the day. “The security of all spectators at the Belmont Stakes is the main priority of the Nassau County Police Department,” said Commissioner Ryder. “Numerous resources have been assigned and our Intelligence Unit is working with Federal, State and local authorities to ensure a safe environment.

‘Clowning around’ at Abbey Lane School

Third-grader Arashpreet Singh juggled colorful scarves during physical education class. Abbey Lane Elementary School students had the unique opportunity to learn circus skills during a week-long residency with Ray Grins and his wife Erin Grins from Cirque Du Jour from May 21st-25th. Sponsored by the Abbey Lane PTA, the circus kicked off the residency with a performance for all grade levels which was followed by two instructional days for each class during their physical education periods. Students learned a variety of circus skills such as juggling with colorful scarves and balls, using their hands

and arms to do tricks with a devil stick, walking on stilts, and concurring balance by spinning plates on a stick. Mr. and Mrs. Grins walked each class through proper techniques and allowed the students to get hands on with the circus equipment. “You only fail if you stop trying,” Mrs. Grins told Abbey Lane third-graders before they tried juggling and working with the devil sticks.

National Guardsmen receive Humanitarian Service Award Major General Anthony P. German, the Adjutant General of New York, announces the recent award recognitions for members of the New York Army National Guard who participated in the humanitarian assistance and disaster relief support missions following the devastation caused by Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria in 2017. Receiving the Humanitarian Service Award were: • Chief Warrant Officer 2 Kevin Colby from Levittown. Colby served in Puerto Rico from October 1st, 2017 to October 27th, 2017 and serves with Company B, 3-142nd Aviation Battalion of the New York Army National Guard. • Spc. Christopher Scully from Hicksville. Scully

served in Puerto Rico from October 1st, 2017 to October 23rd, 2017 and serves with the 442nd Military Police Company of the New York Army National Guard. “The support of our New York National Guard in the Caribbean following Hurricanes Irma and Maria was nothing short of exceptional, and our Soldiers are the reason for that success,” German said. “Our Citizen Soldiers are used to responding here at home, so the effort to move troops and equipment to Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands presented unique challenges. The presentation of the Humanitarian Service Medal is a great reflection of our Soldiers’ commitment to serve others,” German said.

POB High School team finalists in Clean Tech competition Innovative ideas and solutions are needed to combat the growing crisis posed by global climate change. Responding to this call for solutions are 10 high school finalists teams selected for the 2018 Spellman High Voltage Electronics Clean Tech Competition – including two from Long Island: Plainview Old-Bethpage-JFK High School in Plainview and George W. Hewlett High School in Hewlett. Teams from around the world will vie for over $30,000 in cash prizes on Thursday, July 12th at Stony Brook University. Now in its seventh year, the Competition is hosted by Rockville Centre, New Yorkbased Center for Science Teaching & Learning (CSTL). The sponsor of the Competition is Hauppauge, Long Island-based Spellman High Voltage Electronics, a leader in high voltage technology in the medical, industrial, and scientific fields. The Spellman High Voltage Electronics Clean Tech Competition highlights the importance of STEM

(Science Technology, Engineering and Math) education and learning. Since 2012, the Competition addresses an issue that is grounded in core technological competency areas while focusing on the next great engineering challenges. The theme for the 2018 Competition, “Solving Climate Change,” challenged high school students to identify a specific problem associated with this challenging issue. The Competition is a unique solutions-based worldwide research and design challenge for pre-college youth. This record breaking year saw 547 teams enter the competition, including 39 from different nations. “At Spellman High Voltage, we recognize the importance of STEM and inspiring the next generation of leaders. We are certain that this year’s competitors from across the United States and from around the globe will once again impress us with their knowledge, creativity and problem-solving capabilities. Their projects could one day play an instrumental role in addressing

global climate change and other environmental challenges,” said Dr. Loren Skeist, president of Spellman High Voltage Electronics. “The Clean Tech Competition is a unique solutions-based competition where students focus on addressing environmental concerns. We are certain that the presentations which we will see this year from teams from around the world will reflect creativity, innovation, and STEM ingenuity at tackling global climate change,” said Dr. Ray Ann Havasy, director of CSTL. The Plainview Old-Bethpage-JFK High School team’s project is called “Application of Graphene Oxide/Amine Functionalized Graphene Oxide onto Polymer Electrolyte Membranes (PEM) and Electrodes to Optimize Hydrogen Fuel Cell Performance” Other finalists include teams from Australia, Peru, Ireland, Singapore, and the United States (California). Monetary prizes will be awarded to a total of 10 finalists, with $10,000 award-

ed to the winner, $7,000 to 2nd place, and $5,000 to 3rd place. The top team will attend and present at The World Congress on Climate Change in Rome, Italy in September and will continue its relationship with a professional serving as a mentor. “Clean technology is critical in making a difference in our world. The students who will present their projects at Stony Brook University in July as part of this competition are inspiring and emerging STEM leaders,” said Judith Greiman, Chief Deputy to the President and Senior Vice President for Government and Community Relations at Stony Brook University. “The ideas and concepts that these students have developed have the potential to bring solutions to communities around the world that are impacted by climate change and other environmental challenges.”
