Financial advisor accused of Ponzi scheme

Matthew Eckstein

Syosset financial advisor Matthew Eckstein, 48, was arrested on June 12th and charged with grand larceny in connection with what the Nassau County District Attorney calls a Ponzi scheme. According to Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas, Eckstein scammed at least 14 people, mostly seniors, out of more than $5 million with fraudulent investments, as well as stealing money from estates of which he was the executor. “This unscrupulous financial advisor allegedly betrayed his clients’ trust when he stole their

money in a multi-million dollar Ponzi scheme and even pilfered hundreds of thousands from the estates of deceased clients,” DA Singas said. “The charges are even more egregious because many of the alleged victims were elderly and seeking safe investments for their retirement funds. I am grateful to our partners in the office of Comptroller DiNapoli, the FBI, USPIS, and Securities Exchange Commission for their assistance with this case.” DA Singas said that, beginning in January 2015, an elderly victim for See page 17

A new neighbor in Syosset is providing tail-wagging fun and a nose for service to the community. DogAbility Center for Canine-assisted activities, a 501(c)3 nonprofit holds sessions and activities, is located in Syosset at 235 Robbins Lane (entry from 180 Aerial Way). Friendly dogs and their handlers provide a form of coping and individualized activity that is the first of its kind in the United States, and a niche that was unfilled until it began operating on Long Island five years ago. For 30 years owner and founder Sass Levine was a Syosset resident and she raised her three children in the Syosset Central School District, with all three attending Baylis Elementary, Harry B. Thompson Middle School and Syosset High School (graduates of the Classes of 1996, 1998 and 2000). Levine now lives across the Suffolk County border in Huntington, but she joined the Syosset Woodbury Chamber of Commerce last year as the organization has settled down here, after DogAbility grew in participants and recognition. The program’s name and initial concept grew from the popular HorseAbility therapy and recreation riding programs in Old Westbury which Levine’s family was active with for many years.. “My daughters were involved with horses since they were each four years old. I gave them our pony to use and my daughters were side-walkers there about 25 years ago. There are equine programs all over Long Island but there aren’t any canine programs. I recognized a niche that needed to be filled where people come and spend time with dogs that are certified and insured, so it’s a safe setting and activity, and they can engage. Kids and adults can benefit from engagement with dogs. We discussed the concept with HorseAbility and they had use start there initially, but being low to the ground and outside on dirt created a challenge and then Superstorm Sandy hit. We then moved to the Hebrew Academy of Nassau County in Plainview for three seasons on Sundays only. Then we outgrew See page 17

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.

Seneca Falls to Syracuse, Crossing Halfway Mark of 400-Mile Cycle the Erie Bike tour BY KAREN RUBIN TRAVEL FEATURES SYNDICATE, GOINGPLACESFARANDNEAR.COM Day 4, Waterloo/Seneca Falls to Syracuse, 39 Miles Leaving our campsite at Mynderse Academy in Seneca Falls for Day 4 of our 8-day, 400-mile Parks & Trails NY Cycle the Erie biketour, I make a point this time of stopping into the Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge, keeping to my plan of doing everything I did not get to do on my first Erie Canalway ride two years before. I take care to cross the busy thoroughfare (this section of the ride is on roads rather than the non-motorized trail). The Refuge is a breeding ground for bald eagles but perhaps because of the season, time of day, or that’s just the way the cookie crumbles, I don’t get to see any birds at all. But I still get to notch another one of the sites that I missed before, realizing that the time spent here is time lost to explore another point of interest. (3395 Rte 5 & 20 E, Seneca Falls, 315568-5987, www.fws.gov/r5mnwr). This part of the ride - on country roads - brings us through pastoral scenery. Our rest stop – laid out with snacks, fresh fruit, water as well as our trusty bike mechanic - is at the brand new Port Byron Erie Canal Heritage Park (great bathrooms), where we get to visit the new historic displays before getting back

Cycle the Erie riders cross the halfway mark at Camillus, where they can take a ride on a canalboat from Sims Store, a replica of the original canal store © Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com on the Canalway. We ride into the quaint village of Jordan, distinctive for the lovely murals of historic scenes of the canal on a 19th century brick building. The Canalway – which was the original towpath - comes through though the Erie Canal was relocated when it was enlarged; the lock has been turned into a small park. Here, you can see what it means for a community to lose the canal. A historic marker notes: “Opened 1819, abandoned, fall 1917. Aqueduct built 1841 when the canal was enlarged. Canal Park built 1932.” Just up from Jordan, on a

particularly scenic potion of the trail that passes Memphis, locals greet us with ice pops; one of the ladies is responsible for creating a gorgeous garden right on the trail in memory of her son and tells us that she tenders it 6-8 hours a week. We come to Camillus, where we are greeted with signs and cheers of “Half way!” as we cross the 200-mile mark, from where we started out in Buffalo. The rest stop has been set up for us here, and inside the Sims Store, they offer us refreshments, as well. The Sims Store is a replica of the original canal store which would have been located two miles

east. You enter the store where two years ago, a woman in period dress was there to show off the sort of stuff that would have been on sale to serve the boats. There is an excellent local history section, an Erie Canal Barge display, an 1800’s room, and a section describing the building of the canal including some of the tools used. There is also a wonderful wallmural of a boat traveling over the Nine Mile Creek Aqueduct on the second floor. The artifacts on display are very interesting. The docent shows a map of New York State which shows why the Erie Canal was the only route to the West: a relatively flat, open portion cutting through a break between the Adirondacks and the Appalachians. The Sims Store is part of a 164acre Camillus Erie Canal Park, a town park that preserves a seven mile stretch of the Erie Canal. It includes the impressive Nine Mile Creek Aqueduct, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. From the Sims Store you can take a boat ride on the old canal, which several of our cyclists are taking advantage of; they operate dinner cruises as well, (www. eriecanalcamillus.com/museum. htm) At this point, we ride along the trail (the original towpath), but this part of what would have been the See page D2

We come to Nine Mile Creek Aqueduct, which is a stunning example of engineering. The aqueduct is a water-filled bridge that carried canal boats over rivers, streams or valleys. This 144 foot waterway enabled the first enlargement of the Erie Canal to be carried over Nine Mile Creek and is listed as the smallest of the larger aqueducts. Four stone arches made of fine Onondaga limestone quarried from Split Rock supported the towpath. Of the 32 original aqueducts on the First Enlargement, only about seven remain intact. I try to rush to get to camp in time to also visit the Rosamond Gifford Zoo in Syracuse, which will close at 4:30 pm. (The organizers have also arranged for us to be able to visit the Syracuse Canal Museum this evening, with shuttle bus transportation into the downtown; I plan to visit the museum the next morning.) I make it to our campground, in Burnet Park alongside the Zoo. At the park, we can use the swimming pool and “indoor” campers can set themselves up on the hockey rink. Instantly, a whole tent city rises in front of the houses across the street from the park. It’s just about 3 pm when I arrive and I promptly drop my things at the hockey rink, so I don’t lose time setting up the tent (also the forecast is for rain tonight). I head straight to the zoo so I can see the animals before they are brought in at 4 pm. We also will be

Yesterday’s ride to Seneca Falls was 62 miles over rolling country roads but I didn’t feel tired at all and was able to explore the attractions that evening, perhaps because of my excitement at being there. But even though today’s ride was a mere 39 miles, I am heatexhausted. I drag myself around the zoo, spending more time sitting on a bench and looking into animal cages than I do walking around. Two years ago, I missed the excellent lecture that was held in the Rosamond Gifford Zoo’s visitor center auditorium by a representative of the Syracuse Canal Museum about the Erie Canal’s engineering. This time I wasn’t going to

make the same mistake. Engineering the Erie Canal Sam Clemence presents “Engineering the Erie Canal” this year, and his talk is all the more fascinating because we have been riding alongside the canal and can appreciate the scale, the geography, the lift system, the aqueducts that made the Erie Canal an engineering marvel. And this evening, we not only appreciate the brilliant engineering, but what the canal meant in terms of transforming the United States into an industrial and global power, how it changed the face of the country quite literally in terms of population – bringing the immigrants to build and man factories, the settlers and pioneers through the west, unifying the nation, bringing down the cost of

goods and improving living standards, and creating jobs and commerce. Indeed, the idea for the Erie Canal goes back to George Washington and the French and Indian War. Thomas Jefferson, the guy responsible for such bold visionary enterprises as the Louisiana Purchase and the Lewis & Clark Expedition, said in 1809, “It is little short of madness to think of it this day – a splendid project and may be executed 100 years from today.” Just eight years later, because of New York Governor Dewitt Clinton’s determination (and state financing), the first shovel went into the ground. Before the canal, it would take three weeks to travel from Albany to Buffalo on sparse roads, involving fording rivers and surmounting the Cohoes

Falls, and would have cost $100 a ton to transport wheat; $6 a barrel to transport salt. But a wheat importer named, Jesse Hawley, sitting in debtor’s prison, 1808-9, wrote a letter to the Genesee Messenger newspaper, using the nom de plume of “Hercules” and proposed the idea of building the canal for $6 million. His letter caught the attention of DeWitt Clinton. “The USA in 1800 was a new country, with an expanding frontier, diverse and abundant resources, and a shortage of labor. The new nation had an experimental form of government. It manifested confidence, embraced technology, epitomized ‘Ingenious Yankees’ – self-sufficient, versatile.” But when they started to build the Erie Canal, there were fewer than 10 engineers in the whole country; by 1816 there were 37; by 1850 there were 50. The two who headed up the Erie Canal project, Benjamin Wright and James Geddes (a surveyor and lawyer) were really county judges. Clinton hired them in 1811 to survey the route. They first thought to build a route along the Mohawk River (there were no dams then), but that was considered an unreliable source of water. So they decided to build a lock canal, fed by 12 feeder streams. This required building 185 locks, 18 aqueducts over the 363 miles from Lake Erie to the Hudson

River. The biggest challenge was the Niagara Escarpment, which we saw at Lockport – where they had to surmount a 60-foot elevation. “In those days [before steel], they could only hold back 12 feet of water [with wooden gates].” But they knew that the canal would go through the Mohawk Valley – the gateway to West. It was the lowest canyon, the only place with a break in the Appalachian mountain range, from Maine to Alabama. It’s called “Little Nose” and “Big Nose” (and we are alert to seek it out on tomorrow’s ride.) Construction began on July 4, 1817 in Rome, the very center of the state where the ground was flat. Clinton wanted to get as many people to see it and built out. And he realized that if building started, it would be easier to get more money, if necessary. They looked to English canal building as well as Leonardo Da Vinci’s gate system, and imported Irish immigrants who were paid $8-12/month and a ration of rum (the pay was pretty good for the time), but three-fourths of the laborers were US citizens (mainly farmers). In the first two years, they only built 15 miles. Clinton was excoriated. “That Federalist Son of a [expletive] taxes our dollars to build a Ditch.” Built at a cost of $7,700,000 (equivalent to $159 billion in 2018 dollars), the canal opened Oct. 20, 1825 and was an

It’s time to toast all of our dads on Father’s Day! BY CLAIRE LYNCH Father’s Day is on June 17 this year and over the years on Father’s Day I’ve given my dad many flannel shirts, many polo shirts and many solid dress shirts to wear to work. Occasionally I would mix it up and throw in a T-shirt with a funny saying on it. Or I would get a favorite team’s shirt whether it was football, basement, basketball or a favorite college team. After a while I caught on to what his favorite candies and snacks were so I cut back on giving him shirts and would wrap up some favorite candies of his in a box, top it off with a bow and present it with a fancy card and a heartfelt sentiment on the holiday. It seems to me that an ideal way for dads everywhere to spend their special holiday would be to have a barbecue (or a cookout), go fishing, take a cooler to the beach or just hang out and put their feet up in a hammock. That sounds pretty good to me. A friend of mine, Brendan, likes playing golf on his days off. When the weather forecast is good he calls three

friends and gets a foursome together. I’ve known Brendan for more than 35 years and throughout that time he has enjoyed playing golf and uses it as his relaxation time. One day a few years ago Brendan was on vacation with his family on Hilton Head Island, S.C., and he decided to golf. It’s a perfect place to go golfing. He joined a group of three other men and off they went in their white polo shirts riding on their motorized golf carts. Brendan didn’t know the other three men but he told us later that they all struck up a good conversation. He was so relaxed, he said, that he was golfing pretty well – better than he does normally. Low and behold, his foursome was on the sixteenth hole of the golf course when it was Brendan’s time to swing. Getting ready with his golf club, Brendan inhaled, he exhaled then he swung. He didn’t realize at first that he had just gotten a hole in one because he was several yards back but he could tell from the response of the people in front See page D7

We learn that at one time, more than 50,000 people depended on the Erie Canal for their livelihood. A whole culture developed around canal life. For many, canal boats were floating houses, traveling from town to town: the father was the captain, the mother cooked for family and crew and children would serve as “hoggees,” leading the mules as they towed the boats. (At Chittenango Landing Boat Museum we see a model boat and how the mules lived onboard.) He tells us that one of the US presidents

Top Five Social Security Myths BY TOM MARGENAU

It’s time for me to dust off and update a column I write every five years or so about Social Security myths. I could write a book called “The Top 100 Social Security Myths.” But I’m having too much fun taking bike rides with my wife and playing Scrabble with her on the back porch to spend time doing that. So instead, I’ll just take an hour or so out of my day to write this column that exposes the five most common program and policy Social Security myths. At some future date, I’ll put the kibosh on all the silly political myths about Social Security that are floating around on the internet. Myth Number 1: There are secret or hidden rules to Social Security. Almost every day I get emails from readers who tell me about suspicious mailings they get, usually from financial planning outfits inviting them to a seminar with come-ons like this: “Learn the hidden truths about Social Security” or “The Social Security secrets the government won’t tell you!” I always want to tell the folks behind these misleading mailers that they should level with their intended audience. There are no hidden rules. There are no secrets about Social Security the government is trying to hide from you. To be sure, there are many Social Security rules and regulations that people may not be familiar with. But they certainly aren’t secret. The Social Security Administration maintains an award-winning website that tells you anything you need to know about your eligibility for Social Security benefits. They also produce more than 100 pamphlets and fact sheets explaining the program’s rules. And the agency maintains more than 1,000 field offices around the country to help people file for benefits. The most common “secret” hyped by financial planners involves a strategy discussed hundreds of times in this column, usually called “file and restrict,” which allows one member of a couple to file for spousal benefits on a husband’s or wife’s record while allowing his or her benefits to grow until age 70. That rule, which certainly is not a secret, and that is being eliminated anyway in a couple years, applies to a very limited number of people. The vast majority of senior citizens have very simple and straightforward Social Security eligibility issues that involve no mysteries, no secrets and no hidden rules. Myth Number 2: Lower earnings near retirement will reduce your Social Security check. Many potential retirees lose sleep if they have some years of lower earnings just before they retire. They think this will adversely impact the amount of their Social Security check. It will not. This myth is an offshoot of another

commonly held misconception about Social Security: that retirement benefits are based on the last five or 10 years of earnings. They are not. The Social Security retirement formula uses a 35-year base of earnings, all of which have been indexed for inflation. So a few years of reduced earnings just before retirement will have minimal, if any, impact on a Social Security retirement benefit. Myth Number 3: A wife is always due half of her husband’s check. A wife gets a benefit rate equal to one-half of her husband’s full retirement benefit only iF she waits until age 66 to claim those benefits. But most wives take their benefits at age 62. In that case, they get an amount equal to about one-third of the husband’s retirement benefit. If they start benefits between 62 and 66, the benefit rate is somewhere between one-third and one-half. When discussing this issue, we generally are talking about women who were stay-at-home moms for most of their lives, meaning they have little or no Social Security of their own. If a woman has worked much of her life, she will get her own Social Security retirement benefit and usually won’t be due anything on her husband’s record. Myth Number 4: If you are due two benefits, you get them both. Anyone who is married or has ever been married is potentially due two Social Security benefits. But as a general rule, if you are due two Social Security benefits, you don’t get them both. You get only the one that pays the higher rate. There is a twist to this rule however. It can best be explained with an example. (And to keep my math simple, I’ll just assume everyone waited until age 66 to file for Social Security.) Husband Hal is getting $2,000 in retirement benefits. Wife Wilma didn’t work very much outside the home. So she just gets a small $600 Social Security check. But as Hal’s wife, she is due $1,000 in spousal benefits. She doesn’t get a $600 retirement check AND a $1,000 spousal benefit. She gets the higher benefit, or $1,000. But there is a rule that says if Wilma is due anything on her own record, she must be paid it. So Wilma will get $600 on her record and another $400 off of Hal’s account to take her up to the $1,000 level. In other words, at least on paper, Wilma is getting benefits from two Social Security accounts. But in reality, she is just getting one check for $1,000. Myth Number 5: You have to be married for 10 years to claim spousal benefits. Based on my emails, I’d bet that 90 percent of my readers think that a couple must be married for 10 years in order for the lower earning spouse

to claim benefits on the higher income spouse’s Social Security record. But that’s not true. The 10-year duration-of-marriage rule applies only to a divorced spouse trying to claim benefits on an ex’s Social Security account. If you are currently married, the law usually says the marriage must have

been in effect for only nine months to claim spousal benefits. If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has the answer. Contact him at thomas.margenau@comcast.net. COPYRIGHT 2018 CREATORS.COM

Vail

Resorts Continues Expansion with Acquisitions of Okemo, Mount Sunapee, Crested Butte & Stevens Pass

BY KAREN RUBIN TRAVEL FEATURES SYNDICATE, GOINGPLACESFARANDNEAR.COM

Vail Resorts is continuing its buying spree, giving it more reach and penetration in New England with the acquisition of Okemo Mountain Resort, Vermont, which the Mueller family has owned and operated for 36 years. The acquisition from the Muellers also includes Mount Sunapee in New Hampshire and Crested Butte Mountain Resort in Colorado. For good measure, Vail also announced a separate acquisition of Stevens Pass in Washington State. The acquisition of Okemo and Mount Sunapee vastly increases the value of Vail Resorts’ Epic Pass for eastern skiers, especially with the acquisition last year of Stowe Mountain in Vermont. In recent years, Vail acquired Whistler Blackcomb in Canada (the largest ski resort in North America), Park City and Canyons in Utah (which it combined into one, making it the largest ski resort in the United States). The Epic Pass is also valid its other owned resorts, Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Keystone and Arapahoe Basin in Colorado; Heavenly, Northstar and Kirkwood in Lake Tahoe; Afton Alps near Minneapolis, Mt. Brighton near Detroit, Wilmot Mountain near Chicago, and Perisher in Australia. Epic Pass holders also have limited access to 30 European ski resorts including Verbier and Les 4 Vallées in Switzerland, Les 3 Vallées in France; Arlberg in Austria; and Skirama Dolomiti Adamello Brenta in Italy. Vail Resorts, Inc. (NYSE: MTN) announced its agreement to purchase Triple Peaks, LLC, the parent company of Okemo Mountain Resort in Vermont, Mount Sunapee Resort in New Hampshire, and Crested Butte Mountain Resort in Colorado from the Mueller family for $82 million, subject to certain adjustments. At closing, Triple Peaks will pay $155 million to pay off the

leases that all three resorts have with Ski Resort Holdings, LLC, an affiliate of Oz Real Estate, with funds provided by Vail Resorts. As part of a separate transaction, Vail Resorts will also purchase Stevens Pass Resort in Washington from Ski Resort Holdings, LLC, who was advised on the sale by Houlihan Lokey, for $67 million. “Together, the acquisitions of Okemo, Mount Sunapee, Crested Butte, and Stevens Pass will significantly enhance the Vail Resorts’ network of resort experiences, adding even more variety and choice for all of our pass holders and guests. Okemo and Mount Sunapee are terrific complements to Stowe in the Northeast, as is Crested Butte to our four Colorado resorts, and Stevens Pass for our Whistler Blackcomb and Seattle guests,” said Rob Katz, chairman and chief executive officer of Vail Resorts. “Additionally, each of these resorts will individually offer guests from around the world entirely new and distinctive experiences in extraordinary locations from coast to coast.” “We know our guests and employees will benefit from Vail Resorts’ outstanding track record of resort and community investment, environmental stewardship, and employee development,” said Tim Mueller, president of Triple Peaks, LLC. “We care deeply about the legacy of these resorts, and have absolute confidence in Vail Resorts to celebrate what makes them so special, while also providing longterm stability for the communities.” “Triple Peaks, LLC and the Mueller family and Karl Kapuscinski, the tenant and operator of Stevens Pass Resort, have been outstanding operators of these resorts and we have valued our association with them,” said Steven Orbuch, founder and president of Oz Real Estate. “We are excited for the opportunities that these transactions create for Vail Resorts and its guests while providing a beneficial outcome for

our investors.” When the transactions close, the 2018-19 Epic Pass, Epic Local Pass, Epic Australia Pass, and Epic Military Pass will include unlimited and unrestricted access to all four resorts, with seven and four unrestricted days for the Epic 7 Day and Epic 4 Day passes, respectively. Whistler Blackcomb Edge Card holders will be able to use any of their U.S. days at Stevens Pass, subject to the restrictions on each card. “We are thrilled that the Epic Pass and our other season pass products will now provide our pass holders around the world with even more variety and unique experiences to choose from,” said Kirsten Lynch, chief marketing officer of Vail Resorts. After closing of the two transactions, Vail Resorts plans to invest $35 million over the next two years across the four resorts to continue to elevate the guest experience. In addition, annual ongoing capital expenditures are expected to increase by $7 million to support the addition of these four resorts. Together, these acquisitions are expected to generate incremental annual EBITDA in excess of $35 million in Vail Resorts’ fiscal year ending July 31, 2019. The transactions are expected to close this summer. Operations at the four resorts for the remainder of the 2018 summer season will continue in the ordinary course of business, as will future winter seasonal hiring. Upon closing, Vail Resorts plans to retain the vast majority of each resort’s employees and will be working with the local leadership teams in the coming months to determine the right long-term management structure for the resorts. Vail Resorts will, subject to approval, assume the state land leases for Okemo Mountain Resort and Mount Sunapee Resort and will obtain new Special Use Permits from the U.S. Forest Service for Crested Butte Mountain Resort and Stevens Pass Resort. The state land lease transfers in Vermont and New Hampshire are subject to administrative review and consent from their respective states. Crested Butte Mountain Resort, located in southwest Colorado’s Grand Mesa Uncompahgre and Gunnison (GMUG) National Forests, is known for the colorful and historic town of Crested Butte, renowned mountain peaks, and legendary skiing and riding terrain. The resort was established in 1961 and has since passed through three families. The Muellers added Crested Butte to their family of resorts in 2004, following their 1982 acquisition of Okemo Mountain and 1998 acquisition of Mount Sunapee. Rising above the Vermont village of Ludlow, approximately three hours from Boston and four hours from New York City, Okemo Mountain Resort has developed a reputation for superior guest service, incredible snow quality,

grooming, terrain parks, and family programs. Mount Sunapee, a premier ski area in southern New Hampshire, is a 90-minute drive from Boston. The four-season, family-focused area has breathtaking views overlooking Lake Sunapee and consistently receives accolades for excellence in snowmaking and grooming. On the other side of the United States, Stevens Pass, with its exciting terrain and plentiful snowfall, will be Vail Resorts’ second resort in the Pacific Northwest. The resort, less than 85 miles from Seattle, sits on the crest of Washington State’s Cascade Range within two national forests, the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest on the west side of the crest and the Wenatchee National Forest on the east. Vail Resorts’ 2018-19 season passes are on sale now at the lowest guaranteed prices. Visit www.epicpass.com for details and to purchase. Vail Resorts will continue to honor previously sold 2018-19 season pass products for Okemo, Mount Sunapee, Crested Butte, and Stevens Pass.

Letter “To Our Okemo Community”

Okemo, in particularly, has been cherished by its devotees, who have felt it more like a community than a resort. In a letter addressed “To our Okemo Community,” Tim, Diane, Ethan & Erica write: “Over the years, we have seen an amazing amount of change in the ski industry. Much of the evolution has been good: improved technologies around ski gear; the onset of snowboarding; grooming equipment; energy efficient snowmaking; and probably the most heartening is how many more people ski and ride or simply come to the mountains now versus three decades ago. “Our business model has always been somewhat unique in this industry; operating large, successful ski resorts that are family owned. It is something we have always enjoyed, been proud of, and worked hard to preserve. Another reason this decision has been incredibly difficult for our family. “When approached by Vail Resorts, all of these thoughts, memories and realities stirred through our heads. What does this mean for us? For our teams? What does this mean for our communities? What does this mean for the mountains that we have poured a lifetime of energy into? We were not naïve in understanding this would mean changes in the future. We spent a lot of time contemplating all of this, and ultimately decided that moving forward with the sale was the best

option for Okemo and its future. We realize the idea of a large company like Vail Resorts overseeing operations at each of our unique resorts may feel unsettling. However, the reality is they are mountain operators and run some of the best and most successful resorts in the industry. Putting Okemo in their hands will ensure a good future for the ski area, and will therefore support a good future for the Okemo Valley. They are great operators and good people, and

they will invest in the mountain and our community. “Please know we have entered into this transaction with the best intentions for the ski area, our fellow employees, and the community. If we did not think this was going to bring more opportunity for the resort in the years to come, we would not have made this decision. We feel that Vail Resorts is poised to continue Okemo’s excellence and bolster its legacy. We hope you will

be open to their approach and give them the opportunity to prove their good intentions. “It has been the greatest pleasure of our lives operating and growing this awesome ski area for the last 36 years. Thank you for accepting us into this community so long ago and thank you for sharing the greatest joy of our family’s life. “With mountains of gratitude.”

W R I T E R’S C O R N E R

It’s time to toast all of our dads on Father’s Day! C ontinued from page D3 of him that something great had just happened. As he approached, the other people started shouting out, “Congratulations!” They high fived him and he couldn’t believe it for several minutes. It took a while for the good news to sink in. Someone handed him his lucky golf ball which he proudly showed his wife and children later when he went back to his hotel room. When they flew home to Long Island Brendan made a point of having a plaque made with his name, the date, place, his lucky golf ball and a picture of him wearing his golf outfit including his Hilton Head cap. His plaque is displayed prominently in his living room on the mantel of the fireplace. It’s a conversation piece, that’s for sure. To this day Brendan always tells me that the key to playing some good golf is being relaxed and limber. By all accounts getting a hole in one is every duffer’s (golfer’s) dream. Brendan did that once and he tells me often that he is still chasing his second hole in one, somewhere, on some well-manicured golf course. He still golfs, that is he arranges his “tee time” as often as he can, and I’m sure that he regales the other golfers with his story about the day he got his hole in one. It’s every golfer’s dream. So Brendan always makes a point of telling me that he likes spending Father’s Day with his family but in the days ahead or right after he always makes sure that he golfs. And when he’s actually golfing, he tries to remember to stay loose and just let the golf ball fly. He has told me many times but Brendan reiterates that the best weather for golfing is when it’s not too hot or cold, when the humidity is at a comfortable level, when there are blue skies and fluffy clouds above, and there is not a chance of rain – no thunder and no lightning. If a bad storm happens to arise, Brendan and his friends know that they have to seek shelter and wait for the storm to pass. No sitting on the metal golf carts or standing under any trees

– he knows that there is no fooling around when a serious storm strikes. Another friend, Anthony, has said that his ideal holiday is being able to enjoy a typical day at home with his family and a few close friends. What’s great about the June weather is that it’s usually picture perfect. While his wife gets the special Father’s Day dinner organized and the kids set the picnic table on their deck, Anthony is always the person who is the chef standing at the barbecue grill. He puts on a white apron and chef’s hat, grabs a couple of potholders and a big mitt, and gets to work cooking some chicken pieces, some steaks, some shrimp or some ribs. He isn’t a chef by trade but Anthony enjoys cooking and grilling food outside. After they enjoy a nice holiday meal, it’s customary for his family to bring out a platter of strawberry shortcake which they all know is Anthony’s favorite dessert. It’s also customary for their daughter, Gwen, to help out at dessert time by cutting the strawberry shortcake into slices and passing them around to whoever wants some. Anthony has told me that when Gwen was a little girl she always used to sing, “Happy Father’s Day to you” when the holiday rolled around. Now, of course, she is older so they skip the singing and enjoy each other’s company and some good food. He always tells me that he isn’t the golfing type and he isn’t the fishing type and he is not the type to chase a bouncy yellow ball around a tennis court with a racquet but he is very content relaxing during the day then basking in the limelight of his Father’s Day dinner with his family and friends. Last year Anthony was surprised once again when his kids brought out some strawberry shortcake on a big platter. He admitted that his wife, children, other relatives and friends made a big fuss over him on the holiday – and he admitted that strawberry shortcake is one of his favorite desserts. Anthony’s birthday happens to be on July 1 so he gets to have two celebrations in a relatively short period of time where he’s the center of attention. He

usually ends up tossing a ball around with his kids in the back yard or having fun playing some type of competitive game. Whether these days the dads out there like to golf, go fishing, play tennis, shoot some basketball hoops or have a big party outdoors surrounded by family and friends, Father’s Day is a perfect time of the year to just enjoy the company and what’s usually some great weather. How the holiday evolved: Historically Father’s Day is a relatively modern holiday so different families have a range of traditions. These can range from a simple phone call or greeting card to large parties honoring all of the father figures in a particular extended family. Father figures can include fathers, step-fathers, fathers-in-law, grandfathers and great-grandfathers and other men. In the days and weeks before Father’s Day, many elementary school students get busy creating greeting cards for Father’s Day and small gifts for their fathers. (timeanddate.com) Father’s Day is not a federal holiday. Many stores and businesses are open just as they normally would be on any other or closed, just as they are on any other Sunday. Restaurants may be busier than usual since some people take their fathers out for a treat. There are a range of events that may have inspired the idea of Father’s Day. One of these was the start of the Mother’s Day tradition in the first decade of the 20th century. Another was a memorial service held in 1908 for a large group of men, many of them fathers, who were killed in a mining accident in Monongah, West Virginia, in December 1907. Most of the credit in the U.S. for the Father’s Day holiday goes to a woman named Sonora Smart Dodd who was tireless and influential in getting the holiday established. Sonora Smart Dodd was born in Sebastian County in Arkansas in 1882. When she was five, the Smart family moved west in search of a better life and settled in Wilbur, Washington, near Spokane. When Sonora Smart was 16 years old, her mother died.

Dodd’s father, William Jackson Smart, raised her and five brothers alone after the death of his wife. This wasn’t common at that time since many widowers placed their children in the care of others or quickly married again. In 1909, while listening to a Mother’s Day sermon with her father at the Central Methodist Church, Dodd was bothered by the fact that there wasn’t a day to honor her Civil War veteran father who raised his six children. She knew how hard it must have been for him because she was the oldest of the six children. And in her opinion, William Jackson Smart set the bar mighty high as far as dads go. Dodd also knew that Anna Jarvis had pushed for Mother’s Day celebrations and Sonora Smart Dodd decided to speak up in support of Father’s Day celebrations. She pressed local authorities in Spokane to declare the first official Father’s Day and she kept at it. Dodd wanted the celebration to be held on June 5, which was her father’s birthday, but planning difficulties pushed the first Father’s Day celebration to Sunday, June 19, 1910, according to ABC News. Dodd’s idea gained momentum across the country and two National Father’s Day committees were formed, one in Virginia in 1921 and one in New York City in 1936. President Woodrow Wilson supported the idea of celebrating Father’s Day in 1913 and visited Spokane to join the celebration in 1916. President Calvin Coolidge supported the idea in 1924, as well. In 1957, U.S. Senator Margaret Chase Smith from Maine introduced a bill to create a federally proclaimed day writing: “Either we honor both our parents, mother and father, or let us desist from honoring either one.” (https:// economictimes.indiatimes.com) President Lyndon Johnson signed a presidential proclamation declaring the third Sunday of June as Father’s Day in 1966. President Richard Nixon established a permanent national observance of the day in 1972. A very Happy Father’s Day to all those Dads out there! Enjoy your special day!!

Syosset financial advisor accused of Ponzi scheme From page 1 whom the defendant worked as a personal accountant and financial advisor, agreed to invest approximately $385,000 into a company, Conmac Funding, at his urging. At that time, Eckstein allegedly assured his client that the investment was safe, had no risk, and the principal would be returned after a twoyear waiting period with an additional four-percent interest similar to a certificate of deposit. After waiting for two years, the victim requested the return of the money in January 2017, but received a payment of only $26,699. At that time, Eckstein allegedly claimed that Conmac Funding was actually an insurance company and her money had to be paid back in installments. The victim continued to ask for the return of the remaining principal and interest, but Eckstein allegedly stopped communicating with her. A search warrant executed by NCDA investigators, US Postal Inspection Service, FBI, and the NYS Comptroller’s Office in April of 2018 at Eckstein’s home office yielded thousands of pages of financial documents. Instead of investing the money into Conmac, the Eckstein is accused of using the money to fund other business enterprises, personal purchases and paying other victims of the scheme. In addition to the alleged investment fraud, investigators say that Eckstein allegedly committed estate fraud while acting as the executor of the estates of two deceased clients, stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars. In one instance Eckstein allegedly recuperated some unclaimed funds from the NYS Comptroller’s Office and allegedly used the money to pay off debts instead of forwarding it to the decedent’s heirs. In the second instance the decedent wanted her money distributed to charity, but instead Eckstein allegedly

deposited over $100,000 of those funds into an account where he had signatory powers, and again used the money to pay debts to his clients. The District Attorney said that the investigation found that 14 victims were allegedly scammed out of a total of more than $5,000,000 by Eckstein. Many of the victims are senior citizens who trusted the defendant with their retirement savings. The alleged victims are from Massapequa, Seaford, Smithtown, Melville, Staten Island, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Norwalk, CT, Jupiter, FL and Redlands, CA, and met the defendant when they were his clients at a Garden Citybased investment firm or were referred to him by friends or family. The District Attorney said that Eckstein started his own business, Sisk Investment Services, Inc. in 2015, which operated from his home. He allegedly used some of the stolen funds for the down payment on his Oyster Bay Cove home, which has a swimming pool and tennis court. The District Attorney has also filed a civil attachment on Eckstein’s residence. Eckstein was arraigned June 7 before Judge William Hohauser on charges of three counts of Grand Larceny in the Second Degree, Grand Larceny in the Third Degree and two counts of Scheme to Defraud in the First Degree. Bail was set at $125,000 bond or $75,000 case and the defendant is due back in court July 2. If convicted, he faces a maximum of five to 15 years in prison. The NCDA investigation began with a referral from the Securities Exchange Commission in November, 2017. The investigation is ongoing and anyone who believes that they were defrauded by Matthew Eckstein, or any investment professional, is encouraged to contact the Nassau County DA’s Financial Crimes Bureau at (516) 571-2149.

Syosset’s principal named Administrator of the Year

H.B. Thompson Middle School Principal James Kassebaum is the Empire State Supervisors & Administrators Association’s Region 1 Administrator of the Year Photo courtesy of Syosset School District Congratulations to Harry B. Thompson Middle School Principal James Kassebaum, who was recently named Administrator of the Year by the Empire State Supervisors & Administrators Association’s Region 1– Council of Administrators and Supervisors. Region 1 is comprised of public school districts in Nassau and Suffolk counties, and CAS is represented by more than 1,500 public school administrators. Kassebaum, who is completing his 41st year in education, has served the students at H.B. Thompson for 24 years, the last 16 as principal. He announced his retirement earlier this spring. “Under your stewardship, Thompson Middle School has achieved and maintained a well-deserved reputation as one of New York State’s highest-performing middle schools,” wrote CAS President Albert Voorneveld in his letter to Kassebaum, who noted his career involvement as a leader among Syosset principals and his active leadership roles with CAS and ESSAA, as well as with the Nassau County Middle Level Principals’ Association. “I appreciate the recognition and am very humbled by this,” said Kassebaum, who plans to continue working with aspir-

ing administrators. “There are many less experienced educators who are advancing in their careers and moving into administrator roles, and the challenges new administrators face have changed and increased through the years.” “Jim Kassebaum has worked tirelessly for the students of Syosset as both assistant principal and principal for the last 24 years,” said HBT Assistant Principal Kevin Bonnano, who has worked with Kassebaum as an administrative assistant and assistant principal for 12 years. “He has dedicated himself to leading a program that provides students with the best academic, social and emotional learning opportunities. He’s guided his staff through many changes in the educational landscape, always with the goal of making sure each student had an opportunity to reach their potential. We’ll all miss Jim’s passion and dedication.” Looking back on his years at HBT, Kassebaum takes great satisfaction from the growth of his staff through the years. “Our staff has always had that day-to-day energy and work ethic to place our students in the best position to grow and succeed. We have also been fortunate to have a tremendous amount of support from the

community, central office and our Board of Education, which has helped us to stay ahead of the game in educating our children.” Kassebaum also takes great pride in the growth of his students, a part of the job he will really miss. “Kids like to come back and visit and they always talk about their experiences here. I’m very proud to have been a part of their development as sixth-graders transitioning into a new school and guiding them onto the next chapter in their lives. Working with adolescents has kept me young at heart.” In addition to continuing his work mentoring young administrators, Kassebaum looks forward to spending new-found time on some of the things he enjoys, including boating, hiking, and baseball umpiring, and perhaps a trip to a seat at the top of the Green Monster at Fenway Park in Boston, while also tending to projects around the house. He leaves with a great sense of accomplishment and confidence in the future that lies ahead. “I’m turning over the keys … but the building and our wonderful programs are in great hands.”

From page 1 it and moved into Hicksville full-time, now we’ve grew more to come into Syosset,” Levine explained in an interview with the Syosset Advance and Jericho Syosset News Journal. DogAbility moved to Robbins Lane last September. Levine credits her new location with convenience to all major highways and a central part of Long Island, but she says living here for three decades gave her insight into the charitable, community-minded spirit in Jericho, Syosset, Plainview, and surrounding towns. “I was one of the people here -- everything new, smart, and innovative for kids and even adults is something the residents or clientele gravitates toward. I knew people here are progressive and they’d come forward once the word about us got out. We have grown without advertising and just by word of mouth. It’s a perfect fit,” Levine says. DogAbility’s program was first designed to help children with special needs learn and grown through the same process and interactions that HorseAbility utilizes. Levine was a leader with the local PTA when her kids were in the schools and she worked on Lyme disease community education. She says she took lessons from HorseAbility’s methods and her own working with kids, plus training dogs for 30 years, and found that despite their variety, assistance programs “were missing one piece.” “Dogs are my fun and my hobby and we started the only canine therapy service in the country like this -- we’ve put together activity-based therapy and kids come to us because they have issues, from physical and disability to emotional issues, or they’ll come for entertainment and socialization. Our mission includes education, recreation, socialization, motivation, inspiration and comfort,” Levine said. While many libraries offer “Read to a Therapy Dog” for children, an encouraging light activity for a younger child, at times the DogAbility Center has been the go-to for mental health needs. Levine says one Long Island district sent her students whose parents had been murdered, and the experience was calming and nurturing for the kids. DogAbility also has a program to help people who have a fear of dogs, and referrals are now coming to Syosset from New Jersey and Connecticut because the center has this unique offering. “We are turning around children who have social challenges. Some may be so afraid of dogs they can’t go on the bus, go to a friend’s house, or walk in their neighborhoods. Unfortunately, people will either wait too long to address fears, or they won’t have a place to go for help. Kids will eventually be tolerant and sometimes the family can even get a dog once the fear is over-

come,” she said. Levine says there are three categories of certified canines: emotional support dogs, therapy dogs and service dogs. The center in Syosset offers Animal-Assisted Activity (AAA) which is different from Animal-Assisted Therapy (AAT) because the latter involves a professional in psychology or physical therapy to qualify as a formal AAT program. Some area therapists have contacted DogAbility and volunteered to add their service to the mix. Levine says that will be a work in progress, but her focus today is education and entertainment through the activities. “Science has shown that the company of a dog, or other animals, lowers blood pressure and increases a person’s endorphins. They have measured that the company of dogs during challenging times has a magical effect on people -- but if you hate dogs or are afraid of dogs, I don’t think that’s true. If you are comfortable around dogs, companionship and holding or petting them has an impact on humans. That’s why dogs are great to bring into situations such as schools and colleges, senior center, hospice visits or even in funeral homes, anything to relieve the high stress. DogAbility does not travel to visit groups or settings, the public comes to us because our facility is set up with dog jumps, tunnels, games, tug of war, wagon rides -- we do things and in addition to the comfort provided, these are all activity dogs,” Levine explains. In late March, the Syosset Woodbury Chamber of Commerce met next door at Island Signs and Graphics.At that meeting Levine spoke about her plans for community outreach, including workshops and lectures on relevant topics. She plans to support and participate in the Chamber’s 2018 StreetFair which will be held Sunday, September 23 downtown along Jackson Avenue near the Syosset LIRR station. DogAbility plan to host sessions for kids interested in pets and career paths related to animals, such as “How to Become a Veterinarian” and “How to Become a Trainer.” She identifies a need to speak to elementary-age students about canine behavior, training, nutrition, management and care. “We teach the kid who might be a vet when they grow up. It’s multiple dimensions of programs under one roof,” Levine said. DogAbility now hosts kids’ birthday parties with dogs and Levine says this is a hit among local families. Unfortunately, they have had to turn some people away for booking parties since DogAbility is booked so many months ahead. Information sessions DogAbility hosts in mid to late 2018 and beyond will aim at educating the suburban community and families about various dog breeds, their histories, particular traits, needs and lifestyles. Levine recognizes

a need for providing her expertise and network of resources to area families that have pets or may be searching to adopt or purchase a pet in the future. She cautions families to learn as much as possible about breeds of dogs before bringing one into their family and the greater community. “Purebred dogs should only be purchased from reputable breeders through the process of research with their breed club of America, such as German Shepherd Club of America and Labrador Retriever Club of America. Every breed has an official club, a national organization. Anyone looking for a purebred dog should go through the national club and the American Kennel Club, an you can expect to pay easily $1,000 to $5,000 for a purebred dog because those monies go towards development and the science of the health of that breed, not for breeders to make money -- you are dealing with DNA and genetics and keeping the genes so close invites problems in canines such as heart, vision, hips and elbows because it is a purebred. Only the top champion lines are bred and judged by experts in the dog shows,” she said. Levine warns against the “puppy mill to pet store” problem and tells residents to consider the veterinary care and testing professional dog breeders go through versus “backyard breeders” who sell dogs at much lower price, or even claim to support the adoption of puppies from southern U.S. states, while making profits and abusing animals. Pet adoption organizations should also be consulted after checking references provided by the various breeds’ official clubs. “Don’t buy or adopt a dog off the internet. I am dear friends with a Nassau County SPCA detective and I have learned about the cases investigated. Rescue groups sponsored and endorsed by breed clubs are out there keeping their breeds in foster and rescue homes, covering fees as they need to have dogs’ nutrition, vaccinations, spay/neuter, etc. Nobody in rescue organizations would give a dog to a person they have not met, interviewed and checked references on,” she said. Levine will soon expand DogAbility’s community education focus into a “How to Choose” series for dog owners, with plans to host workshops on “How to Choose a Groomer,” “How to Choose a Trainer,” plus “How to Choose a Boarding facility” and more.

“Dogability” brings helping paws to Syosset

nal that the program is in need of more dogs to fulfill requests for time slots and activities. Levine evaluates the dogs and the handlers who apply, but DogAbility is actively looking for more help with operations including finance and nonprofit management. “We are looking to add to the board of directors here, volunteers to provide developmental business input for us -- we have the service and product, but we want to expand and tap into the community as best we can,” she sa. DogAbility handles their space rental and other costs through the fees paid by dog owners who have their canine go through the certification process. The organization accepts all breeds for their certification process and they can begin with dogs as young as four months old, while most therapy organizations would have dogs of a few breeds and only those over one year old. “We start them young and we want them exposed to people young, and we’ll train them from the beginning. As a professional trainer, I can select which dogs are appropriate for which sessions and activities. If a dog is very still and quiet, they can be in the fear of dogs class in the beginning, also senior dogs. If your dog is more action-oriented and retrieving balls, running and jumping and high energy they should work with the Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts (11 to 13 years old) who are able-bodied kids looking to get their Merit Badge requirements met,” Levine said. Some older scouts such as Girl Scout Cadets and Eagle Scouts in Syosset/ Woodbury have built activity tools and structures for DogAbility, such as wood counters with varnish tops and dog jumps. Kids or visitors come to the center at a cost of $25 per head, whether for school-sponsored activities or field trips. Levine says Nassau BOCES, Great Neck Schools, and other districts will contribute $25 per head and a number of donations are also helping the nonprofit. Levine is exploring grant funding for the Fear of Dogs program and other opportunities to service senior citizens or lower income Long Islanders.
