HONORING JUDY JACOBS

BY GARY SIMEONE

The Syosset School District recently dedicated the library at Balis Elementary School to the late Nassau County Legislator Judy Jacobs. Above, Baylis Elementary School Principal Lisa Greiner joins members of the school’s Student Council in unveiling a plaque in honor of Leg. Jacobs.

Incident causes lockdown at Syosset HS

Ilya Yurchenko

Syosset High School was placed on lockdown on Tuesday, May 29th after a Medford man attempted to enter the school while carrying a large piece of luggage. According to Nassau County Police, Ilya Yurchenko, 19, of Medford, approached the main entrance of Syosset High School and attempted to gain entry at 4:15pm. Police say he was carrying a large black piece of luggage and was denied entry. According to police, Yurchenko placed the bag on the side of

the school and went in through the gym entrance. The school was put on lockdown by staff for precautionary reasons and the police were called. Upon police arrival, Yurchenko was located and placed under arrest without incident. The lockdown was lifted after the luggage was deemed not dangerous. Yurchenko was taken to a local hospital for evaluation. He was charged with Criminal Trespass 3rd Degree.

When County Legislator Josh Lafazan was on the campaign trail in 2017, he had a lot of help from a dedicated group of student interns. After his recent election, one of those interns took the initiative to start an organization called ‘Move the Future,’ which helps motivate internship programs on the Democratic Party line. “Politics was all new for me when I began working with Josh, and I thought it was such an incredible program,” said Sophie Blumenthal, founder of Move the Future. “During the internship, I gained more knowledge of the political process and made a lot of new friends in the process.” Blumenthal, who is a freshman at North Shore High School, said that the two main goals of her program are to get Democratic candidates elected to office and to get students involved in politics. “Move the Future offers a few basic resources to interns involved in political campaigns, including helping them learn to make phone calls, send letters to editors, and canvass area

neighborhoods. Anything to help get their Democratic candidate elected.” Kieran Kelly, a freshman at Syosset High School, was one of nearly 100 interns who helped get Lafazan elected by a twelve-point margin over incumbent Donald MacKenzie. “The whole internship program was such an inspiring experience and so different than what I had seen and heard before,” said Kelly. “The entire campaign was basically made up of students aged 15-16.” He said that his goal with Move the Future is to replicate the success he had with Josh’s campaign to other democrats nationally. “I would like to help other internship programs with their campaigns and give them the necessary resources to help get their candidate elected,” said Kelly. Move the Future currently has 18 other students scattered throughout Long Island helping 13 Democratic campaigns nationwide. More information about the organization can be found on their website, www. MovetheFuture.co

Woodbury’s Mara Navaretta, founder of Homes By Mara Realty in Syosset, recently received the Champion of Children & Families Award from Variety Child Learning Center (VCLC) during its annual Variety Night fundraising dinner at Crest Hollow Country Club in Woodbury, NY. Navaretta was chosen as this year’s recipient by the VCLC Variety Night Committee for her commitment to making a difference in the lives of families and children in need. She was presented her award in front of over 325 guests during the event, which raised over $80,000 for educational programs, services, and support that VCLC provides for children with disabilities and their families. “To be selected as this year’s Champion of Children and Families was such an amazing moment,” says Navaretta. “However, for me, it wasn’t about the award or public recognition, but rather, it symbolizes that the efforts I have made in my outreach for various community causes have made an

impact for those I’ve set out to help. I hope my receipt of this award will inspire other local business men and women to get involved in supporting charities and causes within their communities. As local businesses, I feel we share a responsibility to do our part in making a difference whenever and wherever we can.” Navaretta most recently held a clothing and gift card drive to help multiple families regain belongings that they lost from a four-alarm fire that destroyed their Woodbury homes. Other support initiatives that she has spearheaded for families and children in need include making regular contributions to Children’s Brain Tumor Foundation (CBTF) and taking part in various events involving The Ashley Wade Foundation, including its Jake’s Jammies pajama drive for children suffering chronic illness. She has also sponsored at her agency her own coat and toy drives, including one following Superstorm Sandy.

Alumni return to share their love of literacy, lessons on life

Village Elementary School alumni (back row) who currently attend Syosset High School are pictured with Village faculty and staff during their visit to the school to read and talk with younger students as part of the PARP program. As part of the annual PARP program at Village Elementary School in Syosset, Village alumni who are current students at Syosset High School returned to their old elementary school to read to students. “It is always a highly anticipated activity as both staff and alumni love being reunited,” said Village Principal Jeffrey Kasper. “The Village staff is always amazed at how their former students have grown into such impressive young adults. The alumni love to see their former teachers and the collection of photographs shared from their time here. The seniors also enjoy talking about their college acceptances and future plans and take real pleasure in reading to the current Village children, who love to ask about their experiences at Village back in the day.”

This year’s event was made all the more special thanks to the Village PTA, which provided breakfast for the staff and the nearly 40 high schoolers who came back to enjoy some time with their former teachers and future high school students. The connection these former students still have to their elementary school and the staff here is wonderful to witness and as one current fifth-grader remarked, “I can’t wait until I’m in high school and can come back to read like my brother did.” Special thanks to the Village PTA, Village library media specialist Trish Sergi, and Syosset High School’s Castle coordinator Tom Rooney for organizing the PARP experience.

The Blockchain Revolution BY BOB MORGAN, JR. Those of us of a certain age feel that we are always required to understand and adapt to new technology that members of the younger generation seem to grasp intuitively. An obvious recent example is the internet, but I am sure that a hundred years ago, learning about the operation and technology of motor vehicles was a considerable challenge to people who grew up with horse drawn transportation. Blockchain technology appears to be the current example of a new technology that we will all soon encounter and need to know something about. In general terms, blockchain technology involves the creation of a decentralized digital ledger used to record transactions in a way that allows the community of users, using encrypted technology, to control how the record is updated and amended. This is in contrast to the system in common use now where there is a central data base server under the control of a system administrator that gives permission to make any changes in the data. Blockchain technology first burst on the scene with the advent of Bitcoin, the controversial (and volatile) digital currency, which now has attracted a number of competitors. The entire Bitcoin network is on a shared public ledger. Every time there is a confirmed Bitcoin transaction it is put on this shared ledger and relied upon by the entire Bitcoin network. Owners of Bitcoin wallets are able to calculate their spendable balance and new transactions can be verified to involve bitcoins actually owned by the person spending it. To insure integrity and chronological order, cryptographic keys are supplied to individuals on the network. But blockchain has potential applications well beyond currency. For example, as an article in the Harvard Business Review explains, stock settlement – the ownership transfer of a stock -- would be an strong candidate for implementation of blockchain. Right now, settlement can take as long as a week. Parties to a transaction have no access to each other’s ledgers and are unable to verify that the assets in a transaction are in fact owned and can be trans-

ferred. Instead, it is necessary to use a series of intermediaries to facilitate the transaction. If a stock transaction took place on a blockchain-based system, it would be settled within seconds, securely and verifiably. The ledger would be replicated in a large number of identical databases, each hosted and maintained by an interested party. When changes are entered in one copy of the ledger, all the other copies are updated at the same time. Thus, as transactions occur, records of the value and assets exchanged are permanently entered in all ledgers. Third-party intermediaries to verify or transfer ownership are unnecessary. The Harvard Business Review article also explains that “smart contracts” may be the most transformative current blockchain application. These contracts automate payments and the transfer of currency as negotiated conditions are met. For example, a smart contract might send a payment to a supplier as soon as a shipment is delivered. A company could signal via blockchain that a particular good has been received— or the product could have GPS functionality, which would automatically log a location update that would trigger a payment. Another frequently discussed potential use of blockchain is in medical records. A second Harvard Business Review article describes how blockchain technology could solve issues caused by the placement of a patient’s medical records at different locations, and the lack of a single list of all the places the data can be found or the order in which it was entered. With blockchain technology, updates about medications, problems, and allergies would be sent to an open-source, community-wide trusted ledger, so additions and subtractions to the medical record were well understood and auditable across organizations. Obviously, all of this just scratches the surface of the use of blockchain technology. While few people in my generation are likely to master all of its details and applications, it is worth watching as a harbinger of the future.

LITTLE LAXERS SUMMER PROGRAM Roslyn & Garden City Locations

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

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

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

Baylis library dedicated in honor of Judy Jacobs Syosset School District officials recently joined local government officials, teachers, and family members and friends of the late Nassau County Legislator and Presiding Officer Judy Jacobs for a ceremony to dedicate the Baylis Elementary School library as the Judy Jacobs Library Media Center. Nassau County Executive Lauren Curran, Nassau County Legislators Arnold Drucker and Kevan Abrahams, and New York State Assemblyman Charles Lavine all provided words of praise honoring Jacobs. Syosset Board of Education President Dr. Michael Cohen reflected on memorable conversations he had with her over the years. Others shared their experiences with Jacobs as well. “She really interacted with the kids on such a personal level. She would teach the children all about voting and she would actually hold a pretend elec-

tion with my class,” said Baylis teacher Linda Pizzarelli. “She truly was an amazing person.” Baylis Principal Lisa Greiner presided over the dedication and provided some remarks of her own along with members of Jacobs’ family. Third, fourth, and fifth-grade vocalists performed a heartfelt rendition of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” and the string quartet and pianists entertained guests during a special breakfast held prior to the ceremony. Baylis Student Council officers were given the honor of unveiling a plaque to commemorate the dedication of the library. Special thanks to the Baylis Compact Committee, the Baylis PTA, and the Baylis Music Department for their hard work in planning this memorable dedication.

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

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

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

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

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

Seneca Falls Hails its Role in Birthing Women’s Rights

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Astoria

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

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

North Hempstead / Nassau County

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We commiserate over the life-size portrait of Hillary Rodham Clinton, who was already in the Hall of Fame as First Lady and New York Senator, the first woman to be a presidential candidate of a major political party, but should have been the first woman President. It is remarkable to look at the faces and read the short biographies of women who have made such important contributions, going back to colonial times. (National Women’s Hall of Fame, 76 Fall St, Seneca Falls, NY 13148, 315- 5688060, www.womenofthehall.org) Across the street, I stop in at the shop, Made by Women. I have time to wander around. I try to get to the “Wonderful Life Museum,” but it is closed. It offers a brochure for a self-guided walking tour. Seneca Falls is supposed to have been the model for Bedford Falls in the James Stewart classic movie, though it is hard to recognize today.

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

Jean Arthur: The Shy Comedienne with Marc Courtade Jean Arthur was one of Hollywood’s most popular comediennes in the 1930s and ‘40s. She projected a strong, self-confident and outgoing woman. But behind the scenes, she was painfully shy, plagued by camera and stage fright. Director Frank Capra cast her in some of her best films: Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, You Can’t Take It With You, and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. When her contract ended in 1944, she made only two more films. Arthur returned to the stage, but her chronic insecurity became crippling. Her films remain highly enjoyable, and it is a pleasure to remember this actress and her short but memorable career.

Among the group were two first- and third-place teams, one with a perfect score.

Among 41 total Syosset participants, two groups won first place in their respective category, while two other groups took third-place honors. One group even received a perfect score! Winning first place in the Architecture category with a perfect score, the team of Rea Chen, Sophia Cheng, Brenda Chou, Kaitlyn Hom, Kelvin Hu and Allison Liu built a scale model of an outdoor human labyrinth in a parklike setting suitable for four seasons in the Northeast. Also winning first place, in the Typography category, the team of Abraham Huang, Helen Lin and Paul Martin designed a new letter to be added to the English alphabet, including the phonetic sound, place in the alphabet and use in a word.

In the Drawing category, the team of Melinda Blumenstock, Michelle Liu, Rika Mizoguchi, Ryun Shim, Helen Zhang and Liana Zhang created an original drawing using materials and techniques of reductive drawing–good for third place.
