Fall Festival planned in Plainview-Old Bethpage BY GARY SIMEONE

The Plainview-Old Bethpage Library will again be the host of the annual Plainview-Old Bethpage Chamber of Commerce Fall Festival. The festival, which will take place on Sunday, September 30th, will be chock-full of unique arts and crafts vendors, and plenty of games for adults and kids alike. Ned Marzigliano, a local businessman who will serve as festival chairman, said that this year’s festival will include more family-oriented activities. “There will be more games that families can participate in, and a bouncy house for the kids which we didn’t have last year,” said Marzigli-

ano, a State Farm agent in Plainview. “We will also have the Southampton Animal Shelter pet-mobile on hand, where families can participate in fundraising efforts and potentially adopt an animal.” The festival will include more vendors who will be selling a unique range of items. There will be crafts, clothing, and hand-designed objects for sale, as well as chotskies-like figurines and small pieces of jewelry. “Some of our vendors will be selling things like comic books and baseball cards and things you can hang in your house or place in your garden,” said Marzigliano. For the first time in its history, the festival will have two presenting Platinum sponsors: TD Bank and

Akiva Shapiro Law. Andrew Lamkin, Chamber president, said that sponsorship is key to having a successful festival. “The festival’s growth and success is dependent on sponsor involvement,” said Lamkin. “Ned and his committee have worked tirelessly in organizing what undoubtedly will be another successful event for the Plainview-Old Bethpage community.” The event will take place from 10AM to 5PM. in the parking lot of the Library. It will be the seventh year in a row that the festival will take place in this location. Preferred Promotions Arts and Craft Festivals will be event promoter for the second year in a row.

The St. Matthias Church on the border of Wantagh and Levittown has been in existence since 1904. The structure is in peril, though, as the Church’s Episcopal diocese wants to sell the building in order to make a profit. Congregants of the church feel differently, though, as they want to save the 114-year-old building from being sold and ultimately torn down. Two months ago, the Town of Hempstead’s Landmark Preservation Commission voted unanimously that the building should be granted landmark status. This would prevent the building from being sold and possibly being demolished in the process. “We are awaiting word from the Town Board after making the recommendation of landmark status for the Church,” said Town historian and Commission member Tom Saltzman. “The next step would be that the Board will take the information we provided and schedule a public hearing. After getting feedback from the public, they would make their decision.” Saltzman said it was important to save historic structures like the church because there are so few in existence in the Town. “The church is in its original shingle-style shape, which was the style of that time period. It is in exceptional condition for a building of its age.” He said that the main reason that the Commission is seeking landmark status is because it wants to see the building’s exterior maintain its original shape. “We are open to any type of adaptive reuse of the building’s interior, as long as the exterior is maintained,” said Saltzman. “It can be used as an ice cream parlour, candy store, or doctor’s office. We just want the exterior preserved.” The St. Matthias Church has been a traditionally African-American and Latin-American church. The last Mass that was held in the church was in April.

In an effort to protect our pets and prevent the spread of rabies, Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and Councilwoman Michele M. Johnson, in partnership with the Nassau County Department of Health, will offer free rabies vaccinations for dogs, cats, and ferrets. Open to all residents, the vaccination clinic will be held on Saturday, September 15th, from 10:00am to 2:00pm at the Town Animal Shelter located at 150 Miller Place in Syosset. “Our pets are members of our family, and this is an excellent opportunity to protect them against rabies,” said Supervisor Saladino. “Pet owners should take advantage of this vaccination clinic to protect their entire family.” New York State law requires that all dogs, cats, and domesticated ferrets be vaccinated against rabies. If an unvaccinated pet or one that’s overdue for its vaccination comes into contact with a rabid or suspected rabid animal, the pet must either be euthanized or strictly quarantined for six months. However, if a vaccinated animal comes into contact with a wild animal, it needs only a booster vaccination which must be

administered within five days of exposure. To protect your family and your pet, it is absolutely essential that your animals have up-to-date rabies inoculations. Councilwoman Johnson stated, “It is recommended for dogs, cats and ferrets older than four months to receive their first two shots one year apart and additional booster shots every three years thereafter. Dogs must be on leashes when inside the clinic and cats and ferrets must be in enclosed carriers. Personnel from the Town Animal Shelter will be on hand to help with the large number of animals expected in addition to assisting residents interested in adopting a dog or cat.” The clinic also offers to microchip pets for $25. Microchips carry a unique identification number for a pet so if they ever get lost they can be taken to a vet clinic or animal shelter where they will be scanned for the unique microchip ID number. No reservations are necessary for the clinic. For more information, contact the Town of Oyster Bay Animal Shelter at (516) 677-5784 or visit www.oysterbaytown.com.

Incoming fifth- and sixth-graders throughout the Levittown Public Schools participated in literacy launches throughout the month of June to kick off their 2018 Summer Reading Extravaganza. This summer, fifth-graders will read the book Escape from Mr. Lemoncello’s Library by Chris Grabenstein while sixth-graders will read Because of Mr. Terupt by Rob Buyea. The incoming fifth-graders gathered to hear more about the book with the

help of their older peers who had read the book last summer. Dressed as characters from the story, students were engaged in the presentation which also included a video created by the district to spotlight the book. In the video, administrators and faculty members challenged the students to escape the Levittown Public Library this summer just as the characters do in Escape from Mr. Lemoncello’s Library. Incoming sixth-graders also received a snapshot of what to expect in their

summer reading book, Because of Mr. Terupt, with the help of faculty members from Jonas E. Salk Middle School and Wisdom Lane Middle School, who were also dressed in fun costumes to represent each character in the book. The presentation made students question the mystery surrounding the story and piqued their interest in reading the book. Librarians from the Levittown Public Library were present for both literacy launches as they discussed events

that the students could attend over the summer in relation to their summer reading books and the raffle system put in place to award participants. The students could also utilize resources about their book on the district’s website, levittownschools.com. Each student received a copy of their designated book at the end of the launch, ready to jump into reading.

Endurance runner to address GLIRC

Accomplished endurance runner and Suffolk Federal Credit Union Vice President of Information Technology Eva Casale will be speaking at the GLIRC's September 25th Open General Meeting.

The featured speaker at the Tuesday evening, September 25th Open General Meeting of the Greater Long Island Running Club will be Eva Casale, Long Island’s premier endurance runner. The meeting will be held in the Auditorium of the Plainview-Old Bethpage Public Library, 999 Old Country Road in Plainview, starting promptly at 8:00PM. Admission is free and the general public is most cordially invited to attend. Eva’s latest accomplishment was running seven marathons in seven days throughout Suffolk County earlier this year to raise money for veterans’ organizations. She has done this for three consecutive years, running a total of 184 miles in a week each of those three years to raise nearly $100,000 through her Team E.V.A (“Every Veteran Appreciated”). Her overall record of endurance running is nothing short of incredi-

ble, including more than 60 marathons and almost as many 50-kilometer runs (including finishing the Caumsett State Park USATF National 50 Kilometer Championship for each of the past eleven years). She has successfully completed the 126.2 Mile Rouge Orleans Ultra, and ran the Ocean to Sound Relay course out and back for a total of 100 miles in 2013. In 2015, she ran 150 miles from Manhattan to Montauk and raised $75,000 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in the process. Eva was part of a two-person team that ran a 200-mile relay to support organ donation. She donated one of her kidneys in 2006 to a perfect stranger, and most of her endurance running has been accomplished in the years after that donation. In her non-running life, Eva is the vice president of information technology for the Suffolk Federal Credit Union.

A Day in Nantucket: How a Tiny Isolated Island Became a Global Powerhouse (With Lessons for Contemporary America) BY KAREN RUBIN & MARTIN D. RUBIN TRAVEL FEATURES SYNDICATE GOINGPLACESFARANDNEAR.COM Nantucket, a porkchop-shaped island just 14 by 3½-miles with just a few thousand inhabitants, hangs 30 miles out to sea off Massachusetts’ mainland. That creates a special kind of isolation and 350 years ago, made for a special incubator for culture and industry. “Nantucket has been a microcosm of America for 350 years, a magnet and unique laboratory for some of our most powerful impulses... People around the globe knew of Nantucket whalers,” says the narrator of a documentary, “Nantucket” by Ric Burns. Nantucket, he says, has a history of reinventing itself. “Nantucket was created by sea. In as little as 400 years, it will be taken by the sea. We are on borrowed time.” That alone sets up the drama before our visit to Nantucket. The documentary is an evening’s activity aboard Blount Small Ship Adventures’ Grand Caribe, and now, we sail into Nantucket’s harbor in a dense fog, on the last day of our week-long voyage that has taken us to the New England islands. This tiny place, we learn, became a global powerhouse because of whaling, which itself required technological innovations and produced a revolution in the way people lived: “Nantucket was the first global economic engine See page D2

quaint today “were state of art, decades into development, a perfect factory ship to render oil. They could go anywhere, withstand horrible conditions, serve as the home for dozens of men for three to four years at a time. They were vessels of exploration, the space ships of their day, they could travel to unknown worlds...Nantucketers were astronauts of their day.” (I appreciate this all the more after having seen the “Spectacle of Motion: “The Grand Panorama of a Whaling Voyage ‘Round the World,” at the New Bedford Whaling Museum, a few days before on our own voyage. See story) But here on Nantucket, we are introduced to other dimensions of the story: Quakerism and feminism. Whaling, it turns out, became a thriving industry because of the Quakers who settled Nantucket, peacefully coexisting with the Wampanoags who had lived here for thousands of years (their numbers were decimated, though, by the diseases the Europeans brought). The Wampanoags knew how to harpoon whales that were beached and introduced the English to whaling. But it was the Quakers’ openmindedness, their values of modest living, hard work and practice of reinvesting money into the industry rather than on lavish living that produced the innovations. Even more significantly, Nantucket could become so successful in whaling because of the Quaker sense of egalitarianism, seeing women as having equal ability. How else could Nantucket men go off for years at a time, leaving their home, business

and community to be run by the women they left behind (one street is known as Petticoat Row because of all the womenowned businesses)? Quaker women, including Lucretia Coffin Mott (who was from Nantucket) became leaders of the Woman’s Suffrage Movement. So it is no wonder that Nantucket enabled a woman, Maria Mitchell, to thrive. Born in 1818 on Nantucket, Maria Mitchell became America’s first woman astronomer (famous for discovering a comet in 1847, which was named “Miss Mitchell’s Comet”), the first woman elected Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (1848) and of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (1850). She was Vassar’s first professor of astronomy, president of the American Association for the Advancement of Women, and active in the Women’s Suffrage movement. We first are introduced to her on “Gail’s Tours” of the island, then when we visit the Whaling Museum which has a whole gallery devoted to her, and after, I am so fascinated with her, I follow a self-guided “Walking in the Footsteps of Maria Mitchell” which takes me to the Quaker Meeting House. (Ironically, Mitchell was too skeptical and outspoken for the Quakers and “written out” so she joined the Unitarian Church instead, which today shares its building with the Congregation Shirat Ha Yam, “a pluralistic Jewish congregation”). Nantucket has a land area of about 45 square miles (about half the size of

Martha’s Vineyard), yet seems larger, somehow, to get around. The best way to experience Nantucket when you only have a day and when mobility may be somewhat limited, is to take an island tour. So we take the launch boat into Straight Wharf (this is the only stop on the New England Islands cruise where we anchor instead of dock), and walk along the cobblestone streets about half-mile to where Gail Nickerson Johnson has her van parked in front of the Visitor Center. The first impression of Nantucket is how much it looks like a movie set with its quaint shops and cobblestone streets. Indeed, the one square-mile National Historic District is the largest concentration of antebellum structures in the United States. I take note of a mural on the side of a building that shows how many miles from places like Iceland, Pitcairn and Cape Town are from Nantucket, as if the center of the world. We have been recommended to Gail’s Tours, and what a find this is. Gail, it turns out, is a 6th generation Nantucket native, descended from the Nickersons (her family line includes the Gardners, Coffins, Foulgers), was raised here, and knows just about everybody and every house we pass. She took over the tour business from her mother, who, she says, used to summer here before

marrying her father. Her mother used to take visiting friends and relatives around in a woodie, and then got the idea to turn it into a tourist business, which she ran for 40 years. Gail points out all the local sights:” I remember when....” “We used to ....,” “When we were kids....” “That used to be ....” She notes that some 10,000 to 15,000 people live on Nantucket year-round, quite a jump from the 3,000 people who lived here year-round when she was growing up. Gail jokes that Nantucket is on shaky ground – it is predicted to be under water in 400 years time. “In 300, I’m outta here.” We pass all the important sights: the island’s oldest house, built as a wedding present for Jethro Coffin and Mary Gardner Coffin in 1686, which has been restored after lightening struck the house, splitting it in two; the Old Windmill (1746); the Quaker cemetery where there some 5,000 people are buried but few headstones, so it looks more like a rolling field; the Maria Mitchell Observatory; cranberry bogs; the Life Saving Museum. She points to the house that Frank Bunker Gilbreth owned – the efficiency expert depicted in his son’s book, “Cheaper by the Dozen.” “They found among his papers Morse code for how to take a bath in 1 ½ minutes.” The

Now it’s Back to School Time! BY CLAIRE LYNCH Labor Day, which is on September 3, is upon us and for most public schools on Long Island, September 4 is the first day of the 2018/2019 school year. Whether the children are going back to elementary school or high school - or whether the young adults are going off to college or back to college - a new school year is beginning and that means that it’s time for all of those students out there to focus. Whether it’s adjusting to new schedules, being assigned to different teachers or meeting new classmates, school has its challenges. For many students, the adjustment can be nerve-wracking. Others like the challenge of change and seem to flourish in it. Either way, a new school year is sure to entail learning new things and going to new places whether it’s within the school campus or going on field trips. It involves expanding one’s pool of knowledge and sometimes making some new friends when you least expect it. Before tackling schoolwork, however, most children had the chance to take a break. Summer is a great time for lounging around, for taking trips near and far, and for having some new experiences.

Two of my nieces and a nephew who live in rural North Carolina told me about new things they had tried. My niece, Mary, is nine years old. She said that she has always wanted to learn to play the guitar so she asked her parents if she could take some lessons. Her parents agreed and Mary borrowed an acoustic guitar from her older brother for the summer. Young Mary ended up taking guitar lessons from someone in the neighborhood so that was convenient. She learned how to read music, understand what chords are on the guitar and where to place her fingers on the frets. Mary learned how to strum the strings, how to use a pick and how to play some simple songs. It went slowly but nevertheless Mary was pleased with her progress and is determined to learn even more. My nephew, Nick, who’s eight, is happy to be able to go to the pool in his community every day. He always hopes for nice weather so that he can hop in the pool, swim around, do a few laps and occasionally jump off of the diving board. If Nick wakes up in the morning and it’s raining, he is not a happy camper. Even though he knows that occasion-

ally rain is good for the farmers’ fields and it’s good for the environment, he doesn’t like it. He feels that summer is the time for him to do what he likes and he likes to swim. He also likes being around dogs so he asked his parents this summer if he could volunteer to walk some of the dogs in the neighborhood. His parents know what a passion Nick has for dogs so they said okay but decided that he could start slowly by walking two neighbors’ dogs. Nick spoke with Mrs. Nelson two houses down from where they live about walking her dog twice a day in the summer and his mom said that she would follow up. To Nick’s delight, Mrs. Nelson said yes. Nick has been playing with Rascal a lot anyway – a boxer-collie mix that’s tan and brown – so it was a natural fit. Rascal is four years old, medium height and weighs about 40 pounds so that wasn’t too much for Nick to handle. Nick likes to pet Rascal and they usually end up rolling around on the grass rough housing. Mrs. Nelson showed Nick her routine for walking Rascal and she also said that after she walks him she gives him fresh water and puts out a bowl of

dry dog food. Nick was all excited about the prospect of helping to care for Rascal this summer and it worked out well. He was happy spending time with Rascal and Mrs. Nelson later said that Nick did great. He followed her instructions and really enjoyed being with Rascal. Mrs. Nelson said that she often caught Nick talking to Rascal, brushing him and gently petting him. The second dog that Nick was able to walk and help out with this summer was Daisy, a terrier that had a bark much larger than her bite. At just a year old, Daisy is solid tan and weighs about six pounds. She’s got a pink collar and thinks that she’s a little princess. She has got a little pillow in the living room next to the fireplace that has her name on it and likes to cuddle up on it. The Martin family lives across the street and three doors down. Nick spoke with Mr. Martin about walking Daisy and he spoke with his wife about it. She said sure and in late June Nick started walking Daisy twice a day and See page D6

Y O U R S O C I A L S E C U R I T Y BY TOM MARGENAU

There are several key factors that make you eligible for Social Security benefits and help determine the amount of money you are due. One of the most important is your date of birth. Because you have to be a precise age to qualify for retirement benefits (e.g., 66 for full benefits or 62 for reduced benefits), you have to prove your date of birth to the Social Security Administration. When I started working for SSA back in the early 1970s, this wasn’t always a simple process. Many people retiring back then (these would have been folks born in the early 1900s) did not have a birth certificate. And I don’t mean they lost it or couldn’t find it. I mean their birth was never recorded in official government records. So we had to resort to creative ways to help people prove their date of birth. For example, we would search church, school or census records. It’s a different story today. Almost everyone eligible for Social Security at this point in the 21st century was born at a time when births were routinely recorded with local, county or state government agencies. So providing a birth certificate to SSA is usually a fairly routine matter. But today’s questions concern date of birth issues that are not necessarily so routine. Q: I always thought I was born on Jan. 1, 1955. And that’s what my birth certificate shows. But I was just told a very interesting story by a very old aunt -- my mother’s sister. She told me that I was actually born on the night of Dec. 31, 1954 -- just a few minutes before midnight. She said that the hospital administrators in the small town in Nebraska where I was born, in secret collusion with my mother, fudged the hour and date of birth on my birth certificate in order to make it appear that I was born in the first couple minutes of Jan. 1, 1955. I thus became the first baby of the New Year in our town. Apparently, the hospital got some much-needed publicity for their newly established birthing clinic, and my parents got several prizes from local merchants. My aunt told me that my mother was so embarrassed by her actions that she never told anyone except her sister (my aunt) this story. My mom took this secret to her grave! What are the Social Security ramifications of this? A: Wow! What a fascinating story. And that’s all it is -- at least for now -- just a story. Your official birth certificate shows you were born on Jan. 1, 1955, and that is what SSA is going to use as your date of birth in its records. Actually, there are a couple of advantages to being born one year earlier -- in your case, in 1954. One has to do with your full retirement age -- the age at which you would be eligible for 100 percent of your

Date of Birth Issues

retirement benefit. For people born in 1954, that age is 66. But for people born in 1955, it is 66 and two months. The other has to do with Social Security’s retirement benefit formula. It is way too complicated to explain in the short space of this column, but being born in 1954 would mean a few extra bucks in your monthly Social Security retirement check. Take my word for it. So normally I would suggest that you think about trying to get your birthdate changed by contacting the registrar in the county or state where your birth certificate resides. (Although unless you have other evidence, it is doubtful they would amend your birth record based only on your aunt’s allegation.) But because of a strange little twist in the law, you don’t have to worry about that. And the twist says that you attain your legal age on the day preceding your birthday. For most of us, that has no consequences. I was born on June 22, and the fact that I legally attain my age on June 21 is meaningless. But it is full of meaning -- at least for Social Security purposes -- if you were born on the 1st. For example, Sue was born on Sept. 1, 1952, and wants her benefits to start when she turns 66 in September of this year. She actually can get a check for August because she legally turns 66 on Aug. 31. And it is extra meaningful if you were born on Jan. 1, as in your case. Your birth certificate shows you were born Jan. 1, 1955, but you legally attain your age on Dec. 31, 1954. So you are going to get all the Social Security advantages of being born in 1954 even though your birth certificate shows you were born in 1955. Weird, huh? Q: I always thought I was born on Nov. 22, 1952. That is the date I always have used, and it is in my Social Security records. I am now in the process of getting my paperwork together to file for Social Security this year. Imagine my shock when I got my birth certificate and it shows I was born Nov. 21, 1952. How will I explain this to the Social Security people? A: You will explain it to them the way you just did to me. It’s no big deal. The difference in the day of birth (unless it happens to be the first of the month) is meaningless for Social Security purposes. Q: My 84-year-old father just died. We just got his death certificate, and we were surprised to learn that it lists his date of birth as Jan. 22, 1933. But all of his life, we thought he was born on Jan. 22, 1934. After talking to my mother, we were shocked to learn that dad had some problems in his early years and may have somehow messed up his date of birth on official records, including Social Security records. Is this glitch going to cause any problems when my mom tries to claim widow’s benefits on dad’s account?

A: As I explained at the beginning of this column, SSA is pretty meticulous about establishing the correct date of birth when someone applies for Social Security benefits. In other words, when your dad first signed up for his Social Security, they would have secured some kind of birth record that proved he was born on Jan. 22, 1934.

I have no idea why his death certificate shows he was born in 1933. But it’s a moot point. Your mother’s widow’s benefits will not be affected by that little glitch.

Now it’s Back to School Time! C ontinued from page D3 helping to water and feed her. Daisy gets wet dog food so Nick would go in the kitchen with the Martins, open the can of dog food and spoon it out after Mrs. Martin showed him how to do it the first time. Sure enough Nick was good about following her directions. After walking Daisy Nick would spend some time playing with her in the Martins’ back yard. Daisy likes to play fetch so Nick would get her favorite toy and toss it across the yard for her. She would catch it and quickly bring it back to Nick. At one point in the summer Nick taught Daisy how to stay, facing away, while he hid a tennis ball in the bushes. Then he would tell her to find it and she would look around for it. Eventually Daisy would find it and bring it to Nick. As a reward, Nick would give her a treat, a little dog biscuit. In the summer Daisy got good at finding things that Nick had placed under a rock, behind a tree and up in the low branch of a tree. He said that Daisy always seemed proud of herself when she found it whether it was a ball, a toy or whatever. Sometimes Nick’s sister, Mary, would join them and play with Daisy. Daisy liked having the attention and both Nick and Mary liked playing with their four-legged friend. The time would fly by then it would be time to go home. Nick and Mary both bonded with Daisy and Mary said that she would have helped out with Rascal, too, but she was either at her guitar lessons, practicing the guitar or meeting up with her friends to hang out or go to the mall. By August the Martin family was crediting Nick with doing a good job of handling Daisy. He was firm when he had to be and playful and loving at

other times. Nick’s parents were glad to get the good feedback from the Martins and Nick was happy about doing a good job. Helping to take care of both Rascal and Daisy made him even more interested in dogs and getting one as his family pet. Even with all of his dog walking in the neighborhood Nick was still able to spend a lot of time going swimming. Another niece of mine, Elle, also likes to swim. She was four-and-a-half years old in May when she tried out for the swim team at her pool. She met certain requirements – doing the freestyle, the backstroke, kicking in the pool, etc. and she was ecstatically proud that she made the team. She sees her older brother and sister plus all of the other kids swimming in the big pool and she likes being a summer-time “fish,” too. She tucks her long hair into her very colorful swim cap, puts on her water goggles, gets busy and enjoys it. Elle told me that she is comfortable in the pool. She knows that plenty of adults are around to help if anyone needs it – and she isn’t afraid to get a little water in her face. This summer was a unique experience in many ways. Several relatives of mine flew south to Myrtle Beach Airport in South Carolina for 10 days. We went on different excursions each day and we tried to mix it up a bit since we had some young people in the group.

There were five kids who ranged in age from five to 17 and there were four adults in our group. One of the excursions we took was to Alligator Adventure - a place that I was sure would surprise and delight my relatives. Alligator Adventure is located on Route 17 in North Myrtle Beach. We parked our cars, got out, went through the entrance and as we did I saw a sign that said if we returned the next day with our ticket stubs we could get in for free. I made a mental note of that in case any of the thrill seekers in my little group wanted to scare themselves a second day in a row by being close to several very big and very alive alligators. I wasn’t sure if anyone else in my group saw that sign but I do know that they don’t miss much. We continued on and gave ourselves a self-guided tour of the place. We saw several baby alligators in a pond and two large tortoises. We kept walking and came to the spot where they keep the albino alligators. When we went, there were two. They keep them outside but protected under a type of shed that provides constant shade. I noticed as I walked that throughout most of Alligator Adventure there is double fencing all around – between the visitors and the alligators – and all around the perimeter of the place. I was glad to see that because as daring as I am I’m rather timid around alligators. And of course I was reassured

about the well-being of my relatives. By the end of our tour we were ready for lunch. The next morning, sure enough, several relatives said that they wanted to go back to Alligator Adventure. I can’t say that I was totally surprised because once some of my relatives hear about something they want to do it. They are very stubborn that way. We went back and felt like veterans because we had seen the sights just 24 hours before. We felt like we weren’t tourists but that we knew the place inside and out. On both visits to Alligator Adventure we saw the handlers feeding chicken pieces to the alligators during the live show. They would toss the food to the gators and they would snatch it up. We kept walking and saw snakes and lots of other reptiles. My nephew, Max, was in his glory because he likes anything in the reptile family. Seeing so many of them in one place really made his day and I could make a bet at any time that if Max has an essay or report to write about animals this year in school, it will be about the alligators he saw. It has been a summer filled with warm days and cool evenings. We enjoyed a few barbecues, had some gooey goppy s’mores for dessert then got to see some beautiful sunsets and some starlit nights. Unofficially summer is over since the kids have to go back to school. It’s time to resume our normal schedules, time to put away the fishing rods and the bathing suits and get back down to business. It is, after all, back-to-school time. Good luck and best wishes to all of those students out there for a great 2018/2019 school year!!

A Day in Nantucket: How a Tiny Isolated Island Became a Global Powerhouse (With Lessons for Contemporary America) C ontinued from page D5 without a tradition of art education in colonial America, was probably made by a housepainter, and probably an authentic representation of her likeness without artifice. She has one blue and one brown eye, which was a genetic trait among some of the earliest Nantucket settlers.

She points to a portrait of Susan Veeder, one of the women who accompanied their husbands on a whaling voyage. She kept records of the day-to-day life. “Her journals are anthropological, whereas the men’s journals were mainly about weather, tides and number of whales caught. She is the reason we know so much about life on whaling ship.” The docent adds

that Veeder delivered a baby daughter while on board, but it died. “While British whalers had to have a surgeon on board, American whalers were not required to. The ship had a medical kit with numbered vials and instructions. But if they ran out of #11 vial, a captain might just add #5 and #6 together.” Another painting shows a wife standing beside her husband seated

at a desk. “It’s a rare image. Women had roles in Nantucket – they ran the town, home and business. Her husband was a whaling captain who brought back artifacts; she set up a display in house and charged admission fee and told stories. This was the first museum on the island. The contents went to the Atheneum and now are part of the Historical society collection.”

She points to a jaw bone that is the height of the room. It would have come from 80-ft whale such as rammed the Essex (the event that inspired the story of “Moby Dick”).”For people of Nantucket (most of whom had never seen a whale) would have been seen as a sea monster. For the captain to make the decision to keep this onboard for two years or so of the journey, taking up precious space on ship, speaks to how important it was.” We go into the part of the museum that was originally a candle factory, built by the Mitchell family immediately following the Great Fire of 1846, where there is the only surviving spermaceti lever press left in the world. She explains, “When the ship returned to Nantucket harbor, filled with as many as 2000 barrels of oil, each holding 31.5 gallons apiece, the oil would be put in storage. “They would wait for winter to begin processing because only highest quality oil would remain liquid in winter; then process the lowest quality in spring and summer. They kept the lowest quality in Nantucket and sold first and second pressings. “The best oil was used for lighthouses. What was left was used for spermaceti candles. These were the best candles – they burned with no odor, no smoke, no drip. They were prized throughout US and Europe. They changed the quality of life because of having a reliable light source.” At its height, there were 36 candle factories in Nantucket. You become aware of hearing sea chanties in the background. She leads us up to the second-floor Scrimshaw gallery (those who have difficulty with steps can ask to use an elevator). “It was a way for captains to keep their sailors entertained and

occupied (so they didn’t get into fights). They would soak whale teeth, burnish with shark skin (like sandpaper); sharks would be attracted to ship when processed whale – and they would kill sharks for food and use the skin. “Sailors may be illiterate. They would trace designs from newspaper images and advertising. Victorian woman a common subject for scrimshaw because they were commonly used in fashion ads they traced.” Some scrimshaw was functional – like pie crimpers. The men would fashion corset stays as tokens of love (they were worn close to heart). Only captains would have the space to make swifts – tools to wind skein of yarn. Today, she says, the scrimshaw is priceless. She notes that the Essex was not the only ship that was sunk by a whale: the Ann Alexander also was sunk by whale, but the sailors were rescued the next day and returned home. “Another ship in the Pacific found a whale with a harpoon from the Ann Alexander in it – killed the whale and made scrimshaw out of its teeth, known as the Ann Alexander teeth” that we see here in the gallery. There is a small room devoted to Essex story, and we come upon a storyteller retelling the story of the Essex, sunk by a whale – the event that inspired Herman Melville’s “Moby Dick” – from the point of view of the actual events as documented in Nathaniel Philbrick’s book, “In the Heart of the Sea” which ended with the men so desperate, they committed cannibalism. The cabin boy on the Essex who 30 years later wrote his memoir, was Thomas Nickerson (one of Gail’s ancestors? I wonder). This was the first known incident of

Detail of the “Ann Alexander teeth” scrimshaw in the Nantucket Whaling Museum. The Ann Alexander was also sunk by a whale, but the men were rescued © Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com

an unprovoked whale ramming a ship. But, he says, they now believe that it was hammering to quickly repair one of the chase boats used when they go after the whale, that caused the whale to charge. Melville, it turns out, only visited Nantucket for the first time in 1852, after he wrote Moby Dick. Most interesting is the room devoted to Maria Mitchell’s Legacy, where we are introduced to her biography and achievements. The Nantucket Historical Association which operates the museum also operates several other attractions which are included on an “all access ticket”($20/adult, $18/ senior/student, $5/youth 6-17): the Oldest House & Kitchen Garden (the 1686 Coffin House); the 1746 Old Mill (you go inside and meet the miller); the Old Gaol (1806), the Quaker Meeting House (1836), the Fire Hose Cart House (1886, the last remaining 19th century fire hose cart on the island); and Greater Light.

DID YOU KNOW? Men and women over 50 who are considering returning to school may be eligible for financial assistance through various programs. According to the American Association of Retired Persons, older men and women who want to go back to school do not necessarily have to bankroll that expenditure on their own. AARP notes that the Internal Revenue Service offers tax breaks such as the American Opportunity Tax Credit and the Lifetime Learning Tax Credit that older students can take advantage of to lessen the blow of tuition costs, which have risen considerably since today’s men and women over 50 were in college. Older men and women may also be able to take advantage of 529 college savings accounts they opened for their children that their kids did not end up needing. AARP also notes that men and women over 50 who want to apply for financial aid must be prepared to enroll in more than one class and in more than just a continuing education program. More information is available at aarp.org.

We’ve mastered memory care so that you can cherish each moment

Caring for someone with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia takes both heart and science – knowing what expert approaches to take, and providing such care with compassion. This is what we do every day at The Bristal at Lake Success. Our community is dedicated 100% to state-of-the-art memory care, built upon a solid foundation of success caring for seniors at our family of assisted living communities across the tri-state area.
