Annual Spring Festival in Town

On “Earth Day,” Saturday, April 22, the Town of Oyster Bay, the North Oyster Bay Baymen’s Association (NOBBA) and Friends of the Bay will once again join forces to sponsor the annual Oyster Bay Harbor & Beach Clean Up Day, according to Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino. “For more than two decades, Town employees and volunteers have rolled up their sleeves to complete a thorough cleanup of the beaches and shoreline areas along Oyster Bay Harbor,” Supervisor Saladino stated. “This year, our annual event falls on ‘Earth Day,’ which is a very appropriate time to take on an important environmental initiative such as this one.” Supervisor Saladino, a strong proponent of protecting and preserving the Town of Oyster Bay’s pristine waterways and beaches, said he is looking forward to working side by side with volunteers at the clean-up. “All day, people walk along the shoreline collecting debris, picking up trash, and even working from boats to clean up floating litter in the water,” Supervisor Saladino said. “This annual clean-up day is an inspiration to residents, as it helps preserve the precious ecology of one of the Town’s crown jewels, Oyster Bay Harbor.” Supervisor Saladino went on to say that volunteers are being sought to participate in the cleanup, which will run from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Volunteers are also welcome to sign up the day of the event. The central meeting place will be Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park launching ramps and waterfront gazebo off of Larrabee Avenue, Oyster Bay. Locations for the clean-up include Theodore Roosevelt Beach in Oyster Bay, Stehli Beach in Bayville and Centre Island Beach in Bayville. “Each year, countless amounts of paper, food, plastics and other trash are discarded on beaches or dumped overboard from recreational and commercial vessels. Despite popular belief, debris disintegration of all this trash actually takes weeks, months or even years as opposed to a few days,” Supervisor Saladino stated. “Anyone who swims, boats or fishes in Oyster Bay Harbor, or just wants to help protect and enhance the environmental integrity of this beautiful waterway, is invited to join me on April 22,” Supervisor Saladino said. “Don’t be discouraged if you can’t stay for the entire day; even a couple of hours will make a difference. ” Individuals and groups who are interested can get further information by calling the Town’s Department of Environmental Resources at 677-5943 or visit the Town’s website www. oysterbaytown.com.

Jericho School District Breakfast Exemption

The federal and state governments have mandated that all school districts implement a breakfast program for students. Based on a survey of Jericho School District sent to parents of children currently enrolled in K-5 in the Cantiague and Seaman elementary schools, the district is requesting an exemption from the breakfast program for these schools for the 2017-2018 school year. The results of the survey indicate that more than 80 percent of those responding would not use the program.

The George Jackson Elementary School had a pilot breakfast program for the first six months of 2008-2009 school year. The average daily participation was 10 for the six-month period, thereby granting Jackson School exempt from the breakfast program. If any parents have questions or concerns regarding the request for the one year exemption, please contact Mr. Victor P. Manuel, Assistant Superintendent for Business, 203-3600 extension 3214, or Tracy Gilet, Director of Food Service, extension 3258.

Just before the Passover holiday, the Sisterhood of North Shore Synagogue hosted their annual Women’s Seder. More than 60 women, comprised of congregants, daughters, moms and grandmothers were welcomed by flower adorned tables set for the occasion in the temple Youth Lounge. The weeks leading up to the Passover holiday can add additional stress to the often-hectic lives of Jewish families as they contemplate entertaining in their own homes many family members and guests at a traditional Passover Seder. Combined with the prospect of feeding sometimes more than a dozen people, the moments to reflect and rest during the Passover holiday are few and far between. North Shore’s Women’s Seder provides a welcome respite from those responsibilities. It is a wonderful opportunity to bond with other women in a beautiful setting and to learn about and enjoy a special haggadah, which tells of

the Jewish exodus story from a woman’s perspective. The festive Seder, led by Rabbi Jaimee Shalhevet and Rabbi Rachel Maimin, included participant readings, singing and dancing throughout the temple lounge. The story of Passover related at the North Shore Women’s Seder also focused on the courageous actions of Jewish women including Miriam, Moses’ sister who watched over him as he floated down the Nile River, to be found and raised by Pharaoh’s daughter. Miriam also led women in joyous celebration after crossing the Red Sea. The traditional Passover meal was provided by North Shore Synagogue’s new caterer, Carlyle at North Shore. Rabbi Shalhevet thanked Sisterhood president Laurie Silverman for organizing the event and said “I always look forward to our Sisterhood Women’s Seder as it is a beautiful bonding experience which fills our temple with love and warmth.”

Rabbi Jaimee Shalhevet (at left microphone) and Rabbi Rachel Maimin (right microphone) were joined by Debbie Shapiro on drums and Debbie Walker on piano to create a spiritual and uplifting experience.

North Shore Synagogue Sisterhood members were joined by daughters, parents, friend and community members for an evening of music, learning and fun.

Robert Seaman students sing with seniors

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph S. Saladino (back row center) recently visited the community center at Ellsworth Allen Town Park in Farmingdale for an interactive event with third grade students from the Robert Seaman Elementary School in Jericho and the Golden Tones, a well-known group of seniors who sing and perform throughout the local community at senior facilities, schools and public events. The students, under the direction of their music teacher Deana Varone, and the Golden Tones, both took turns performing for one another and sharing their love of music and entertainment. The joyful gathering between both groups is an annual occurrence. Pictured with Supervisor Saladino, are a few volunteers from the Golden Tones chorus and many of the third grade students who attended this lovely event.

was so important, we decided to focus on a few areas and do them perfectly.” On winning the Rookie All-Star Award, Jett adds, “We wanted to show girls that you don’t have be afraid of the stereotypes of who is involved in engineering. You can be a girl and do well in engineering – just like we did.”

Happy Camper Book Fair at Robert Seaman BY GINA LEVY This year’s book fair at Robert Seaman Elementary School kicked off with Kindergarten and first graders in pajamas being read stories by teachers on Monday night! The students had snacks, drinks, flashlights, slippers and all things comfy to snuggle in and enjoy stories read to them. After story time, Book Fair officially opened. There were many parents who wanted an early preview to select books with their children. The rest of the week had a variety of books for all students to pick from and bring home. There was also “Teachers wish List Board”, where students bought books for their teachers and dedicated them with a note to the teacher for that teacher’s classroom. “All for Books” was another way the students could help out where they donated whatever spare change they could and Scholastic matched the donations with a donation of books to the school. Lets also not forget the charity we supported called, “Book fairies”. The students at Robert Seaman donated a book

of their choice to this organization. Book Fairies is a program that is Long Island based, nonprofit charity that gives book donations to schools that are impoverished and/or organizations across LI and Metro NY. All week the students helped their schools classrooms, teachers, school library as well as other students across Long Island! The book fair committee really worked hard to make sure that all students are “Happy Campers” when it comes to making reading fun and available for all!

Born in a Silver Boom, Park City, Utah, Heritage Delights Diners, GalleryStrollers, FestivalGoers BY KAREN RUBIN, ERIC LEIBERMAN & SARAH FALTER

Like so many, we have come to Park City for its legendary powder snow and sprawling mountain peaks, home to two major ski resorts, Park City (which since Vail Resorts acquired and combined Park City and The Canyons has become the largest ski resort in the US), and

the skiers-only, “retro” Deer Valley Resort. And besides being one of the easiest world-class ski destinations to reach from every part of the country by air (I literally leave my home on Long Island in the morning and am skiing at Park City Mountain by the afternoon), it affords a perfectly delightful, charming historic town

that rounds out the joyful experience. Which is ideal because one of the major delights of a ski (or any outdoors) holiday is dining out. During our all-too brief stay in Park city, we get to sample the diverse venues. Just a few blocks long, Park City’s historic Main Street really packs it in: one phenomenal gallery,

boutique, superb restaurant after another. I visit on three evenings of our four-day stay and find new treasures to explore each time. Park City was born in a silver mining boom of the 1880s. – today, it extracts a different kind of silver, from tourism – indeed, we are told See page D2

Born in a Silver Boom, Park City, Utah, Heritage Delights Diners, GalleryStrollers, FestivalGoers Continued from page D1 that Park City has been ranked the most expensive small town in America (surpassing Aspen). But the 19th century past is still very much on display – I love reading the historic markers outside some of the buildings which collectively tell the story of a town that survived explosions, flooded mineshafts, a town-wide fire in 1898 which burned 200 of the town’s 350 structures, snows heavy enough to collapse buildings, and a devastating downturn in silver prices that deflated the town’s economy in the mid-1900s, so that by 1951, it was officially named a ghost town. (There is quite a good Park City Museum, 528 Main Street, allocate about an hour.) Sixty-four of the Park City buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Meanwhile, there are more than 1,200 miles of tunnels that wind through the mountains (Park City Mountain Resort offers an on-mountain Historic Mountain Tour on skis that goes to some of the mine shafts.). There are other charming touches, like the free old-timey trolley, and the decorative lights that are strung across Main Street and around many of the buildings. But out of a silver bust has come a new kind of cash boom: Park City today is considered the “most expensive small town” in America (actually surpassing Aspen) which you sense in the high-end galleries, shops and restaurants. Yet, the ambiance is not in the least snobby or elitist. We are struck by how very welcoming and friendly everybody is – from the shopkeepers to the visitors. The town is one perpetual smile. There are a mind-boggling number of restaurants to choose from – nearly 150 in the area – from cozy bistros, casual eateries ideal for family gatherings, jazz and live-music venues, and fine dining establishments worthy of Michelin stars. During our all-too brief stay, we get to sample Park City’s diverse dining options. After all, a ski holiday is one of the few times you can tell yourself, “I’m on vacation, AND I’ve spent the day outside burning up calories.” The first place to replenish those calories is at Firewood on Main. Firewood on Main should be a Park City institution. Though it only opened in December 2016, its chef/owner is John Murcko who is responsible for developing many of the fine dining restaurants throughout Park City (The Farm, in the Canyons village and was named one of “Utah’s 25 Best Restaurants” in 2015, is one) and Sun Valley. This is his first restaurant of

Firewood on Main provides windows into the kitchen © 2017 Karen Rubin/ goingplacesfarandnear.com his own, and you get the feeling it just gives him the freedom to express his passion for culinary creativity. What we love about it is that although the selections and taste combinations are as sophisticated as you might find in the major capital cities of the world, it still is absolutely true, in ingredients and selections (not to mention décor) to its local surroundings. So there are taste sensations that evoke South America (particularly Argentina’s penchant for grilling) and Asia, but that still feel right at home in Utah. Chef Murcko has done some interesting things: like creating the Chef’s Library – a literal tiny, private and separated room connected to the

kitchen with a pass-through for the dishes – where you get to create a menu in collaboration with the chef. There is also a second private dining room, and the Nickel Bar on the basement floor (named for the nickels that fill the bar tabletop) which is appropriately dark and woody. The main dining room features a set of windows that let you see through to the sprawling kitchen (I like that better than when the kitchen is just open to the dining room). You get to see the activity, as well as marvel at the room-length long open grill, that was custom-built, “the Mazzerati of grills,” our server, Sean, notes. Just about everything is grilled

or seared or fired or smoked in some fashion – even the lemon garnish on the cocktail, to enhance its flavor (more about that in a bit). I love the décor, which I dub “Mountain Moderne.” It has a quasiagricultural/industrial heritage motif – clean lines but woodsy - that summons Utah heritage with windmill fans that are used as ceiling fans and black-andwhite photos that decorate the room. Chef Murcko even crafted the tables himself. We start off with a batch of appetizers that we share: Grilled Oysters with spinach, wood roasted bacon and beet pickled shallot – the oysters are palm-sized huge and are brought in from Washington and Applewood Smoked Burrata with ash roasted beets and herbed pesto; pork belly (for which Firewood is known) prepared with honey wine apple vinegar, red pear and frisee; and fire-braised seasonal wild mushrooms (wood beech, royal trumpets, chanterelles) served with grilled bread. Delectable. For our mains, we savor Port Short Rib, so succulent and perfectly prepared over creamy polenta, warm dried stone fruit chutney, and heirloom carrots fired on the grill; Rack of Lamb, with black lentil ragu, cipollini onion, eggplant and red chimichurri, had some wonderful Argentinian influences and it too was prepared and presented to perfection; and American Kobe New York (the best of both cultures!) showed off Murcko’s penchant for grilling, was sensational, served with rosemary pave, baby shiitakes and duxelle jus. That being said, the menu (which basically touches all cylinders of offerings) shifts nightly to incorporate the freshest seasonal ingredients, locally sourced wherever possible. But the one constant is that everything is cooked over a wood fire. “Chef John Murcko’s vision blends the most primitive of cooking methods—open wood flame— with an innovative menu.” (Firewood On Main, 306 Main Street, Park City UT 84060, 435-252-9900, firewoodonmain. com). High West Saloon and Distillery One of the most popular places to be in Park City is High West Saloon and Distillery. It has the look of being around a century but was opened in 2006 by David Perkins and his wife, Jane. David, a former biochemist, was inspired to open his own distillery after seeing the parallels between the fermentation and distilling process and his own work in biochemistry during a trip to the Maker’s Mark Distillery in Loretto, Kentucky. The old-timey look comes from the fact that Perkins

opened with just a small, 250-gallon still and Saloon in an historic livery stable and garage. The Saloon features alpine-inspired western fare alongside the original still (you can see it) and the Nelson Cottage offering whiskey-paired dinners. It’s lots of fun and draws huge crowds willing to wait 2 ½ hours for a table (they don’t mind sampling the product in the meantime and looking at the traditional 1,600 gallon copper pot still, or perusing the small “general store”. Notably, High West was named 2016 Distiller of the Year by Whisky Advocate. We had a fantastically fresh chicken noodle soup and amazing High West Burger 18, made with a bison and beef blend (wonderfully moist), “proprietary

seasoning”, broiled aged gruyere, blue cheese, BBQ glazed sweet onion, crispy fried shallots, served with fries. The Distillery also offers tours, which you can book in advance. The new High West Distillery and tasting room is located “high in the Wasatch-Uinta Mountains,” in Wanship, Utah, 25 minutes outside Park City and 40 minutes from Salt Lake City, and is open Wednesday-Sunday, 10 am to 5 pm).(High West Saloon and Distillery, 703 Park Ave Park City, UT 84060, 435-649-8300, www.highwest.com). Silver Star Café We also got to sample Silver Star Café, which is located at one of the bases to Park City Mountain, one of the venues that regularly features live

music. Here, we enjoyed live jazz by the John Flanders Jazz Trio in a most comfortable dining room that made you feel more like being in a living room than a restaurant, with long banquettes and loads of pillows that is clearly a favorite with regulars and locals. We thoroughly enjoyed the freshness and flavor combinations of the appetizers and salad: General Tso’s Pork Belly Wrap prepared with Butter lettuce, pickled chilies, toasted peanuts; Warm Roasted Brussels Sprout Salad with pomegranate seeds, toasted hazelnuts, pickled onion, pomegranatebalsamic dressing; Winter Greens & Apple with radicchio, arugula, endive, candied pecans, grapefruit vinaigrette.

The mains offered wonderful choices: Pork Osso Bucco (a house specialty), featured Niman Ranch pork shank, fresh tomatillo salsa, coconut creamed corn, Queso Fresco, pork jus; Boneless Buttermilk Fried Half Chicken is prepared in a distinctive way and served with Red beans & rice, braised greens, Carolina BBQ; Seared Elk Burger, 8 oz. of our signature elk-bacon blend, figcherry mostarda, bacon burger sauce, served with hand-cut fries on a toasted Ciabatta bun. James Root, the manager who is an award-winning mixologist, let’s us sample a cocktail he had only just devised: “Lost at Sea” contains See page D6

Always Insist on Filing a Claim BY TOM MARGENAU

I’d like to think that when people emal me questions, I give them correct answers with good advice. In fact, I’d guess I do that almost all the time. And when I don’t, it’s usually because the person writing to me didn’t present me with all the facts. Here are a couple reallife examples. (I’ve changed the names to protect the anonymity of the readers involved.) Bob wrote to tell me that his wife, Carol, who is two years older than he is, has been getting her own Social Security benefits since she was 62. Bob just turned 66 and he was now applying for his own retirement. His benefits are significantly higher than what his wife is getting, so Bob thought Carol would be due more money on his account. But when they talked to their local Social Security agent, they were told that because Carol took early retirement, she can’t get any spousal benefits on Bob’s record. They wrote to ask me if this was correct. I responded by telling them that it was not necessarily true. The fact that she took her own benefits at 62 does NOT preclude Carol from getting extra spousal benefits on Bob’s account. Here is how they would figure out if Carol is due anything extra from her husband’s record. They would take her age 66 benefit rate and subtract that from one-half of Bob’s age 66 rate. If there is any difference, it will be added to Carol’s reduced retirement benefit. I told them to do the math. And if it looks like Carol is due anything extra on Bob’s account, she should go back to the Social Security people and insist on filing a claim. About a month later, Bob sent me a follow-up email. He said his math (based on the formula I gave him) indicated Carol was due an extra $400 per month. They went back to their local Social Security office and talked to the same clerk. Even though she still said no benefits were payable, they demanded to file a claim. And sure enough, a couple weeks later Carol got an “award letter” telling her she was due an extra $415 per month in spousal benefits. Bob thanked me profusely and offered to buy me lunch. During this same time frame, I got an email from Ted. He relayed a very similar story. He had a wife, Alice, who was getting a small Social Security retirement check that she started at age 62. Ted was now applying for his own much higher Social Security benefit. Once again, he said the Social Security rep they talked to told them that Alice wasn’t due any extra benefits on Ted’s account. I gave them the same advice I had delivered to Bob and Carol. I told them to go back to their Social Security office and insist on filing a claim. Which they did.

And several weeks later, I heard from Ted again. They had filed a claim for Alice, but she had just received a letter of denial saying she wasn’t due any extra benefits. The letter explained that because Alice was getting a federal civil service retirement pension in addition to her small Social Security check, that federal pension precluded her from getting any extra spousal benefits. Ted let it be known that he was a little perturbed at me for getting their hopes up about his wife’s potential eligibility for benefits. Let’s just say that unlike Bob, he was in no mood to buy me lunch. I pointed out that I gave him bad advice because he gave me bad information -- or rather, incomplete information. He never mentioned that Alice was getting a federal retirement pension. Had he told me that, I would have explained to him that an amount equal to two-thirds of her civil service pension plus her own Social Security retirement benefit must be deducted from any spousal benefits she might have been due on Ted’s record. Even though I did not give Ted the right answer, I did give him good advice: to file a claim for Social Security benefits. And that’s the overall theme of this column. If you think you might be eligible for some kind of benefit, and a Social Security clerk, or a Social Security columnist, tells you that you are not eligible, but you have doubts, insist on filing a claim. You have every right in the world to do so. And that way you will get a legal decision about your claim. And here is one more email with a story that illustrates that point. Dear Tom: I just wanted to say thank you. I am the woman who wrote to you previously that I was told by someone at my local Social Security office that I was not eligible for widow’s benefits on my deceased husband’s Social Security record because my own benefits were higher. I showed this rep an article that you had written explaining that as a widow, I had the option of taking widow’s benefits now (I’m 66 and still working) and saving my own benefits until 70, when I would get a 32 percent delayed retirement bonus. She rather haughtily said, “Who are you going to believe? Me, an actual Social Security employee, or some obscure newspaper columnist?” She refused to take my claim. Based on your advice, I went back to the office and talked to the same woman again. But this time, I insisted on filing a claim. She grudgingly helped me fill out the forms. Long story short: I just got a check for about $5,000 in widow’s benefits that included a couple months’ worth of retroactive benefits. I also got a letter explaining my eligibility for those widow’s benefits. Thank you again so much for insisting that

I file a claim for benefits! I wrote this woman back and told her to take that letter to her local Social Security office to show the representative who was so adamant that she was not due any benefits. I’ve got to admit that part of me wanted her to do that to put this uppity Social Security clerk in her place. But the other part of me

thought it would be a good educational opportunity for an obviously inexperienced government representative. If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has the answer. Contact him at thomas.margenau@comcast.net. COPYRIGHT 2017 CREATORS.COM

6 Clever Ways to Develop a Saver’s Attitude BY MARY HUNT Cutting expenses is the way to spend less so you have money to save, but unless you are actually putting that money into a safe place to be held for some future use, you’re not really saving at all. You’re just spending less. Even if you cannot save a great deal of money right now, that’s OK. It’s not the amount you save that matters as much as the fact that you make saving money a regular habit. GRAB ALL THE DISCOUNTS. Many mortgage lenders and student loan companies offer incentives for their customers who set up automatic monthly payments. It’s worth knowing you’ll never be late, and if you can get even 1/4-point reduction in the interest rate over time, that will really add up to be significant. Automobile insurers give discounts to good drivers, nonsmokers, good students, cars with particular safety equipment and any number of other situations. But you have to ask. Make the phone call! SET DOLLAR LIMITS. OK, so this sounds curiously like budgeting. It is. Deciding ahead of time the amount you are willing to spend for anything is to impose important limitations on yourself. CHARGE YOURSELF FEES. Banks and credit card companies don’t seem to have much trouble socking us with unbelievable fees, so take a lesson from them and charge yourself fees. Impose a tax equal to one hour’s pay each payday. Consider it the price for having a job, and put it straight into your savings account. Give yourself ample warning that upon your next raise, the fee will jump to two hours’ pay. Every time you make a withdrawal from the ATM or write a check, charge yourself a set fee of $1 by recording the actual amount plus a buck. Deposits? Charging yourself $10 for each deposit sounds about right. When you’ve collected $50 or $100 in fees, settle up and transfer the whole amount straight to your savings account. EMBRACE CHEAPER SUBSTITUTES. Have you given the store brands at the grocery store a chance? If not, you should. The payoff will be significant, and you could be pleasantly surprised to discover just how many items are identical to the name brand except for the label and the price. PLAY WITH YOUR MONEY. Decide that from now on you will never spend another dollar. That means all your $1 bills go into a stash. Or get really brave and make that $5 bills. Whatever you decide, remove that particular denomination from your wallet regularly and

save it. DREAMWASH EVERY PURCHASE. Whatever your goal -- $1,000 in your savings account, a new house, an all-cash wedding, a trip to Spain -whatever it is, dreamwash your mind so you think of every purchase you make in light of this goal. If it’s something tangible (like a house), print out a picture that represents it and hang it in a prominent place in your home to remind you. Make a copy to keep in your handbag. Make a clever sleeve from construction paper or an envelope that slips over your credit card and requires you to see your dream each time you reach for it. No matter how much or how little you have to save right now, you can develop a saver’s attitude. The things we tell ourselves about money and the attitudes we choose have a powerful effect on our behaviors. I’ve watched people with ordinary incomes do extraordinary things simply because they stopped feeling entitled and became habitual savers. That has made all the difference.

Beehive Gin, Absinthe, lime and crème de violette with a cherry set at the base of the glass. It is built about Absinthe, a spirit with a colorful reputation of having been banned and therefore embraced by Parisian artists, bohemians and literati like Hemingway (it was falsely accused of having hallucinogenic properties). What I love about it is that it isn’t too sweet but has an air of intrigue. (Silver Star Cafe. 1825 Three Kings Drive Park City, UT 84060. 435-655-3456. info@thesilverstarcafe. com, www.thesilverstarcafe.com.) Galleries Galore The art galleries are simply breathtaking. The last Friday of each month is a free Park City Gallery Stroll that lets visitors and locals alike the opportunity to enjoy light refreshments while discovering what’s on in the galleries; from 6-9 pm, members of the Park city Gallery Association offer a showcase highlighting artists, special exhibits and art events. At Burns Cowboy Shop on historic Main Street, family owned since 1876, one of oldest family owned western shops in US (the boots just take your breath away), I meet Jake Quarnberg, the hat shaper, who is steaming a hat and patiently explaining the process to two girls who listen completely enthralled. Quarnberg who used to be a cattle rancher in Utah, grew up with the 6th generation Burns.

Year-Round Destination Park City is very much a year-round destination – after the snow melts, the mountain bikers and hikers take over. Park City offers festivities and festivals year-round, the most famous being the Sundance Film Festival when as many as 40,000 come to town each January (remarkably, few actually ski so the slopes are relatively empty). But the whole calendar is chock-ablock with special events: beginning in June, the Park silly Summer Market festival, each Sunday, showcasing local produce and artisan crafts; in July, Independence Day parade, and Park City Food & Wine Festival; in September, Autumn Aloft hot air balloon festival; in October, the Howl-O-Ween dog parade, to list just a few that have built the town’s reputation as the “Festival City of the Rocky Mountains.” There is also the Park City Institute’s concert series; performances at the picturesque Egyptian Theater (“Annie the Musical” was being performed during our visit). There are more than 100 lodging properties to choose, from on-mountain hotels, condos and full-service luxury hotels with ski-in/out convenience, to multi-family private homes, bed and breakfast inns, downtown properties (you can hop on the Town Lift to the Park City Mountain base). Park City, Utah is arguably North America’s most accessible mountain recreation destination, just 35 minutes from Salt Lake City International

College & Education Creative ways to cut college costs The cost of college tuition continues to increase, and college graduates are feeling the burn of that trend when the time comes to begin repaying their student loans. According to an analysis from higher education expert Mark Kantrowitz, publisher of Cappex, an online resource for students seeking college scholarships, members of the class of 2016 will graduate with an average student loan debt of just over $37,000. That projection, which was based on federal student loan data and variables including tuition inflation, would be an all-time high. Things are not much better in Canada, where the 2015 Graduating Student Survey by the Canadian University Survey Consortium estimated the average member of the class of 2015 graduated with $27,000 in debt. Though many prospective college students are beginning to question if college degrees are worth taking on the kind of debt many students must take on to continue their educations after high school, statistics still indicate that college graduates have far greater lifetime earning potential than men and women who enter the professional arena with only high school diplomas. So what can prospective college students do to avoid graduating without tens of thousands of dollars in debt? The answer might not be so difficult. • Apply to tuition-free schools. Many students and parents might be surprised to learn that there are several tuition-free schools. Admittance to these schools is competitive, but students considering

equally competitive, high-tuition alternatives might make strong candidates for admission to tuition-free schools. • Apply to fixed-tuition schools. If tuition-free schools are not an option, students can save money by applying for admittance to fixed-tuition schools. Such schools guarantee that the tuition students pay in their freshman year will not increase during the ensuing three years. (Note: Tuition may increase if a student needs a fifth year of schooling.) That can lead to considerable savings, as many schools’ tuitions increase dramatically in just four years. • Begin at a two-year college. Two-year colleges typically charge considerably lower tuitions than four-year colleges and universities. Students who want to save money may benefit by enrolling in a two-year college out of high school and getting all of their prerequisite courses out of the way at a more

budget-friendly cost. When considering this option, make sure credits at the two-year college fully transfer to the four-year school students hope to enroll in after earning their associate’s degrees. • Remain in-state for undergraduate degrees. Instate tuition at public universities remains a considerable bargain over out-of-state tuition or tuition at private universities. Students planning to do postgraduate work might benefit by enrolling in in-state public universities and saving their money to finance their postgraduate educations. Students who hope to attend a public university in a state that borders their home state may be eligible for a border waiver, which grants them in-state tuition even though they attended high school outside of the state. Attending college has never been more expensive, but students and their parents can explore various options that can help reduce the cost of college tuition.

How to earn a college scholarship The cost of a college education continues to rise. The College Board says the average cost of tuition and fees for the 2015-2016 school year was $32,405 at private colleges, $9,410 for state residents at public colleges, and $23,893 for out-of-state residents attending public universities. In 2013 and 2014, the average cost of a year’s tuition at a Canadian university was $5,772. The high cost of education compels many students to find ways to finance their education. For many, that means exploring available scholarships. Scholarships come in different forms and are usually offered to students as a gift to be put toward college or university costs. Some schools offer scholarships, while other scholarships are sponsored by outside organizations. Students who meet certain requirements may be eligible for scholarships. While academic or athletic skills are the first criteria associated with scholarships, they are not the only avenues by which students can pursue scholarships. Scholarships may be offered to students of certain ethnic groups; children of employees at particular companies; or to students who live in particular states. Local branches of organizations like the Rotary Club or Kiwanis also may give out scholarships. To improve one’s odds of getting a scholarship, consider the following tips. • Get involved with the community. Many scholarship sponsors seek individuals who are committed to

volunteerism. Plus, volunteering for various groups puts students in the path of information about scholarships from these organizations. • Use scholarship search engines. Those who search for scholarship sponsors should find plenty of results if they peruse scholarship search engines such as Scholarships.com, CollegeBoard.com and FastWeb.com. • Check the local newspaper. The coupon section of the Sunday newspaper may feature scholarships, as might the classified section. This is a great resource for finding locally based scholarships. • Use networking contacts. Students should ask anyone they know if they are aware of any scholarship opportunities. Students who develop a rapport with guidance counselors or the financial aid department at their prospective colleges or universities may learn about scholarship opportunities that are not highly publicized. These people may have the inside track on scholarship information. • Apply for all available scholarships. Now is not the time for students to become lazy. Students should apply for as any scholarships for which they meet the eligibility requirements. Scholarships can help students offset the rising costs of a college education. Those who are willing to put in the research, time and effort to apply may find a wealth of scholarship opportunities at their disposal.

Small College for Your Big Future The future is bright at the State University of New York at Old Westbury. In fall 2016, the College enrolled its largest freshman class in more than 20 years and the largest class of transfer students in its history. Today, applications for 2017 are already ahead of that successful pace. Why are more and more students choosing SUNY Old Westbury? “At SUNY Old Westbury, you will hear us regularly talk to you about our goal – to help you own your future,” said President Calvin O. Butts, III. “When we say that, we mean that we are dedicated to creating an atmosphere where you can learn and grow to be the person you want to be. It’s not just about being ready for a career – although our students get that preparation – it’s about putting you in a position to think critically about the world around you and your role in it, so you can chart your own course to the successful life you want to lead.”

Diverse, Globally-Focused SUNY Old Westbury offers students a mix of academic excellence, community service, and campus activities that embrace the diversity and complexity of today’s more globally focused world and all those who live in it. Educating the most diverse student body in the SUNY system, the College offers more than 60 undergraduate and graduate degree programs. From accounting to psychology, communications to computer science, Old Westbury’s programs provide the skills students need to achieve their career and personal goals

All of this occurs in a small, closeknit community of 4,400 motivated students and more than 300 full- and part-time faculty members. This creates a small class atmosphere that is a large part of what makes time spent at Old Westbury so valuable. Numbering now more than 25,000 strong, graduates of Old Westbury are working and leading in positions throughout Long Island, across the nation and around the world. Some have led public careers, like acclaimed film producer and director John McTiernan and Hostos Community College President Emeritus Dolores Fernandez. Some attended as full-time students. Many worked during their Old Westbury years to support themselves and their families. Most are people like your friends and neighbors, men and women who recognize the need for a quality education and continue to work today to make life better for themselves, their families and their communities.

The Value of SUNY “Put simply, SUNY Old Westbury’s combination of challenging academic coursework, commitment to the enriching value of human diversity, personal attention, and a vibrant campus life create a very rich, productive educational environment,” said President Butts. “And one that is surprisingly affordable at the price of SUNY tuition.” Admissions Open House at SUNY Old Westbury is Saturday, April 22, 2017 at 9 a.m. Register to attend by calling 516-876-3200 or online at www.oldwestbury.edu/open-house.

When you dream big, anything can happen. From our intentionally small classes to the skills of our excellent faculty, everything we offer is geared to enrich your experience and prepare you to pursue your own big dream. With nearly 60 undergraduate and graduate degrees in business, education, and the arts and sciences, and among the most diverse, dynamic student bodies in the nation, we provide a solid educational foundation so you have the confidence in your own abilities to succeed at whatever you choose to undertake — to own your future. Contact us at: (516) 876-3200 or www.oldwestbury.edu

Fusion Academy: A Revolutionary Way to School

Fusion Academy is a revolutionary private middle and high school where positive relationships unlock academic potential. We are a nontraditional community of learning with the smallest class size possible: one student and one teacher per classroom. This allows us to personalize and customize curriculum for each student’s unique strengths, interests, and learning style. We are also able to personalize scheduling; students may enroll at any time (even during the summer) and take classes at a time of day that works best for them. Our supportive staff and campus environment provide a safe space for students to flourish emotionally, socially, and academically. It includes a state-of-the-art recording studio and a mixed-media art studio for students to express their creativity. Our Homework Café® is where students complete all their homework before they leave for the day with help and supervision from a teacher. Classes are offered at three levels: essential, college prep, and honors. From algebra to yoga and

everything in between, we have a wide variety of classes to choose from. Students can enroll full-time, take classes for credit, or utilize our tutoring services. In addition to academics, we partner with outside therapeutic professionals to support students’ emotional health and help foster a balanced life.

While it’s impossible to put our students into categories, we generally serve students with the following backgrounds: ADHD, accelerated/gifted learners, dyslexia, mild learning differences, social challenges, school anxiety, or students with challenging schedules. Students who attend Fusion have one thing in common:

traditional school isn’t working. Fusion has over 40 campuses across the country in California, Connecticut, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, Texas, Virginia, Massachusetts, and Washington D.C. To find your nearest campus, visit:FusionAcademy.com/campuses. Looking for a summer program? Our customized scheduling creates a summer school that won’t take away summer fun. Students can enroll at any time, and take classes at a time of day that works best for them. They can earn class credit with great elective options including arts, music, and yoga this summer. Chevie, a parent at our Dallas, TX campus says, “I'm so grateful for Fusion and what it’s done for my son. He suffers from anxiety and some learning differences… [The staff has] done an amazing job of getting to know him and teaching him in a way that engages him.

The entire staff welcomes him and he finally feels like he fits in. He loves the one on one with the teachers and is able to learn at his pace. Fusion has saved his life and brought happiness back into his school world.” If you’re in the Long Island, NY area, you’re invited to join more than 20 greater long island private schools and hundreds of educators and parents for Long Island’s First Private School Fair featuring keynote speaker Dr. Shefali Tsabary.

From left, are Syosset HS VEI Flip Chip presenters Zach Appel, Jack Santoro, Aaron Rosenfeld, Matt Catton and Scott Mansouri won second in the country at the NBPC. Syosset High School’s Virtual Enterprise International team Flip Chip won second place overall in the country in the National Business Plan Competition finals held at the Microsoft Technology Center in New York City earlier this month. Over 570 teams from across the country competed in this year’s NBPC finals. Flip Chip marketed a line of all-natural, environmentally sustainable and tasty potato chips. Since palm oil is not used in the production of its chips, Flip Chip’s product line offers a healthier alternative to the common potato chip and does not aid in deforestation associated with the palm oil industry. In the VEI program, students take on the roles of business professionals and create a workplace environment in the classroom. After establishing a company and filling various positions, students develop marketing initiatives to promote their business and participate in various competitions involving other VEI teams from schools throughout the country. Flip Chip also won a gold award for its potato farm themed booth in the

Best Booth category and a silver award in the Best E-Commerce Website category at the International Trade Show held at Pier 92 in New York City in conjunction with the NBPC and other competitions sponsored by VEI’s Youth Business Summit. Another Syosset High School VEI team, Nice Pops, also received silver awards in the Best Booth and E-Commerce Website categories at the trade show. Syosset’s VEI team Alternative Reality Entertainment also won honorable mention in the Youth Business Summit’s National Marketing Competition. Max Cohen of AAA Turbo Tech (another Syosset VEI team) also joined students from other VEI programs around the world to win 2nd place in the Global Business Challenge, yet another event held at Pier 92. “It is so rewarding to see the students have so much success after how hard they have worked,” said VEI teacher and Flip Chip adviser Matthew Fiasconaro. “They would practice over school vacations when school was out and on weekends. I’m glad the students get to see that hard work does pay off.”

Mark Rothstein, National Fitness Hall of Fame Inductee and Guinness World Record Holder, visited Berry Hill Elementary. Berry Hill students got to enjoy Rothstein’s World of Rope Jumping assembly where he showed off his amazing jump roping skills. Each grade was then able to attend a “hands-on” workshop with Rothstein to learn specific jump rope techniques. These workshops also taught the importance of exercise, overall fitness and trying your best. Rothstein’s visit was made possible by the Berry Hill PTA’s Cultural Arts Committee.

Mark Rothstein spent the day at Berry Hill where students attended grade specific workshops to work on their jump rope techniques.

Berry Hill gym teacher Scott Segal showed off his amazing jump roping skills!

Students enjoyed participating in Mark Rothstein’s World of Rope Jumping assembly.

The twoweek long PTA-sponsored program encourages students to read at home with family members to help develop a culture of reading outside the classroom. The theme at Robbins Lane was “Under the Sea”. Parents and teachers were reminded to encourage their readers to get involved in reading and participating in fun reading-related

activities. PARP kicked off with award winning author, educator and storyteller, Jason Edwards. He engaged the students in a whole school assembly with a collaborative story telling experience. The Book and Author committee also brought in author Lisa Funari-Willever for an captivating day of assemblies. Two lucky readers per grade were chosen to have lunch with the author. They had the opportunity to ask questions about her

work and her experience as a writer. The entire school went home with an grade-appropriate autographed book from the author. The top three readers in each grade were awarded as well as the top class in each grade, as calculated by total minutes logged on the website. Robbins Lane read an amazing 86,733 minutes over the two week period! Although the PARP has ended, the thirst for reading still continues in our young readers.

Councilwoman: Don’t be a victim of phone scams Oyster Bay Town Councilwoman Rebecca M. Alesia is urging residents to be alert to the increase of reported telephone scams intent on extracting personal information and money from the unsuspecting. According to Councilwoman Alesia, the most common scams recently reported often involve scammers posing as officials from the Internal Revenue Service, the Attorney General’s Office or other widely recognized agency and frequently target seniors, students, and first-generation Americans. Scammers have also been known to pose as family members in trouble and seeking money. “The last thing families need is to be scammed out of their hard-earned money,” said Councilwoman Alesia. “It is shameful that scam artists target people with bogus threats and scare tactics, but awareness and following some basic tips can help you fight back and stay safe.” Councilwoman Alesia said residents can avoid becoming a phone scam victim by only giving out personal information on the phone when you have initiated the call. “Never give out personal

information when you receive an unsolicited call no matter what the caller ID indicates,” Councilwoman Alesia said. “Also beware if a caller asks to keep a conversation a secret. If a caller claims to be from the government, a bank, or a family member, requests for confidentiality should immediately raise credibility concerns.” You don’t need to be polite when you receive a questionable unsolicited call. The safest course of action is to say “No” and simply hang up. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) offers the following tips to residents who fall victim to scam phone calls: • Hang up the phone. Don’t press 1 to speak to a live operator or any other key to take your number off the list. • Consider asking your phone company whether they charge for blocking phone numbers. • Report your experience to the FTC online or by calling 1-888-382-1222. “Remember that it is better to be overly guarded than to fall victim,” Councilwoman Alesia said. “Be skeptical of any offer or deal that sounds too good to be true, because it probably is.”

Local runners score in 15K Run

In March of 2016 there were perfect running conditions. On March 11, 2017 the conditions were far from perfect, as the coldest temperatures of the Winter, some strong winds, and slushy/icy patches on parts of the course were the order of the day for the 20th Annual Lazer, Aptheker, Rosella & Yedid Kings Park 15k Run The vastly different weather conditions didn’t seem to affect either Nick Filippazzo of Wantagh or Victoria Kornieva-Robitaille of Amityville, as the 2016 male and female overall winners reprised their victories in 2017. Filipppazo’s 48:50 was 1:35 slower than the course record that he set in 2016, but he still got to the finish line at the New Beginnings School on Lawrence Road over four minutes in front of his nearest competitor. Similarly, Kornieva-Robitaille’s 1:00:23 was 40 seconds slower than her 2016 finish, but she still won the Women’s Division by over a minute. Local runners played a major role in this year’s Run, led by Kengo Katayama of Syosset, who was the third place award winner in the 15-19 age group, finishing the tough 9.3 mile route in 1:06:53, andAmanda Wolfer of Woodbury, who earned the 2nd place award in the 20-24 age group with a finishing time of 1:12:07 The Lazer, Aptheker, Rosella & Yedid Kings Park Run is hosted by the Greater Long Island Running Club, with Steven Toto serving as the Run Director. The charitable beneficiaries of the Run are the Frank Toto Memorial Foundation, which provides scholarships to deserving Kings Park High School Seniors who are planning on a college program in business administration and the Brain Tumor Foundation.

24 ADVERTORIAL

Campers often describe camp as their ‘happy place’ Writing for the American Camping Association, Audrey Monke says, “… Campers often describe camp as their ‘happy place’, and ‘the best [two] weeks’ of their year. And, from my own observation, I’ve seen that kids and the counselors who work with them are obviously happy at camp. They smile a lot. They look relaxed. There’s a lot of laughter. So many fun things happen at camp every day, that it’s no surprise it’s such a happy place for kids.” When the word camp enters a conversation many of us conjure up the pleasant memories associated with what we at Oasis, Early Start Imagination Camp (ESIC) call the 4Ss: S’mores, Singing, Swimming, and Soccer. It is the picture of camp as ideal utopia where stress melts away and all that is left are the sounds of laughter piercing the thick summer air. But what else does camp offer besides rollicking fun? It is well documented that with the advent of Common Core, demands on our children have increased significantly, and nowhere is that more evident at the Pre-K and Kindergarten level. In response to those demands, parents increasingly are looking for activities and programs to provide children with

This is vital in building the skills needed to persevere and ultimately succeed in school and beyond. To understand grit, you only need to Studies on grit, popularized by imagine a child who starts out Angela Duckworth, along with being painfully shy, and with the the benefits of social-emotional appropriate mentoring ends up learning (SEL) that have been standing in front of his/her camp identified by researchers at the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) make a compelling case for summer camp for the Pre-K population. A well-organized summer program for children at this age incorporates the best practices of these two constructs.

ESIC provides the opportunity to develop expertise in the skills associated with SEL competency such as: Self-Awareness, SelfRegulation, Self-Management, Relationship Building, and Decision Making, which are vital for success in school and in life. The mastery of these skills is one of the single best predictors of academic success according to a wide ranging meta-analysis conducted by CASEL. Great camps encourage campers to work together in learning new songs, solving group problems, or making group decisions. They also ensure that campers feel comfortable in trying to spell that new word or remembering the day of the month in a supportive and caring environment.

Oasis’s ESIC program help to form grit in these youngsters by allowing them to try new things often just out of reach of their
