stop for 24 hours until July 13th at 9:00 am. The event benefits veterans and active duty military personnel. The Long Island Air Force Association will conduct a special ceremony on July 12th at 5:00 pm to honor Vietnam veterans and present them with medals that commemorate their service in the conflict. Adding to

the spectacle, will be a parachute landing on the field conducted by the “All Veterans Group,” which will deliver the official ball. For more information, please visit www.shootoutforsoldiers. com or contact Harry Jacobs at longisland@shootoutforsoldiers. com or at (516) 315-3002.

The Town of Oyster Bay has announced that New York State has decided to drop all plans for a crossSound tunnel to connect Long Island with Westchester County. According to Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino, Councilwoman Michele Johnson and Councilman Thomas Hand, the Town has joined with Legislators, County Legislators, village mayors and dozens of residents and activists in celebrating New York State’s decision to drop the tunnel. “After nearly one year of our united effort, today we celebrate the state’s abandonment of the Cross Sound Tunnel Plan,” stated Supervisor Saladino. “While this is a relief for our community, we must remain vigilant that this plan never goes forward in our Town, as it would only serve to ruin the character of local communities and quality of life, as well as threaten our environment, our shoreline.” Over the past year, following the announcement that New York State would fund a feasibility study regarding a cross-sound bridge or tunnel crossing, the Town has helped form and participated in numerous grass-

roots efforts to stymie this unwanted projects. The Town launched a petition drive to urge the State to drop its plans for a Cross Sound Bridge or Tunnel, citing environmental concerns, potential destruction of the shoreline and wildlife habitats, as well as the potential to threaten Long Island’s water supply from its sole source aquifer system. The Town Board has remained leading voices in spreading the message of the Anti-Tunnel Committee, as well as the recently formed Coalition Against an Unsound Crossing. “We must continue to stay united in our efforts for our residents. All elected officials and civic organizations helped make all the difference in protecting our beloved community, and we must continue to fight to make sure any future plans for any sort of transportation method through the Sound is challenged,” Councilwoman Johnson said. “I’m so happy to be here to stand in celebration, as we have been united with our residents and our colleagues in local government from the beginning and this truly is great news for all of us.”

HBT grads moving up from the middle

Harry B. Thompson Middle School in Syosset provided the nightcap festivities, holding court on the stage at the LIU Tilles Center as it followed its sister school, South Woods, in promoting its eighth-graders to the high school. The HBT Jazz Band provided the prelude and the chamber orchestra performed the processional, “Pomp and Circumstance,” followed by the presentation of the colors by Tsz Ching Chow and Evan Strominger. Student Chloe Zelenitz led the Pledge of Allegiance after the chamber orchestra’s rendition of “The StarSpangled Banner.” The eighth-grade chorus would later provide an entertaining interlude titled, “I Lived,” which was the theme of the ceremony. Board of Education vice president and proud HBT graduate parent Tracy Frankel provided words of wisdom to the entire eighth-grade class of 308. Student Council members Leah Corcoran and Brandon Mazen served as masters of ceremony, with student speaker Ian Brecker providing a keynote address in which he encouraged his fellow classmates to step out of their comfort zones to realize their full potential. Superintendent of Schools Dr. Tom Rogers, whose offices are located at South Woods Middle School, joked about requiring a passport to visit HBT, but with sincerity, reflected on the fulfillment his visits give him. “Every time I am in Thompson, it seems as if I have been invited to see something special,” said Dr. Rogers, who credited retiring Principal James

Kassebaum with playing a part in the successes he has witnessed. Dr. Rogers also shared some special sentiments with the class in the form of a letter he wrote, in which he reflected on a year in which middle school students led the charge to be changemakers in their community and to make a positive impact in their school and in the greater community. “It’s been a year of sweet voices raised nationally and those raised in unison closer to home,” Dr. Rogers said. “Together, what you have shown is that age is no barrier to impact, and your voices are audible and people are listening. Your voices are already shaping the future.” In his final middle school promotion address, Kassebaum acknowledged the great work of his faculty and staff, asking those present to stand for recognition by the audience. He then turned his attention to the students, thanking them for making him proud and encouraging them to be open to a life of discovery and overcoming challenges. “Build resiliency and do not accept failure as a destination,” Kassebaum said. Then, joined by members of the HBT faculty and staff, Kassebaum awarded the middle school diplomas. As they exited the Tilles auditorium as newly declared high school freshmen, the former HBT students held their heads up high with their eyes wide open, ready to be heard by even larger audiences and take on greater feats.

Robbins Lane Elementary hosts 4th Grade Rec Night The Robbins Lane PTA hosted its annual Fourth Grade Rec Night. The event was held in the Robbins Lane gym and included more than 50 kids. Each school year, the PTA has a Rec Night for each grade – this was the Fourth Grade’s turn. Even though the event started after 7:00pm, most of the grade was in attendance, along with numerous parent volunteers. The event

was organized and led by two Robbins Lane parents. The kids participated in relay races, including hockey, lacrosse, and go-kart races, a few individual events, a giant caterpillar race, and the finale, a tug-ofwar, where the kids battled each other and then their parents! The event was a success and the kids left exhausted.

South Woods sends off its eighth-graders in style

Before an audience of proud family members, faculty, administration and the Board of Education, South Woods eighth-grade speakers reflected on their three years at the school.

The South Woods Middle School chorus performs during the school’s moving up ceremony.

June 18th was a special evening for all Syosset eighth-graders advancing to Syosset High School, as Syosset’s South Woods Middle School led off the traditional doubleheader of Syosset School District middle school promotion ceremonies held at the LIU Tilles Center. Following the trumpeters, the Presentation of Colors and the Processional performed by the school’s orchestra, student Priya Sondhi led the Pledge of Allegiance leading into the orchestra’s rendition of "The StarSpangled Banner." The eighth-grade chorus would later provide an entertaining interlude.

Superintendent of Schools Dr. Tom Rogers, a frequent visitor to South Woods with his offices just down the hall, shared some special sentiments with the class in the form of a letter he scribed. “The high school you are about

The aspiring Syosset High School freshmen then exited the Tilles auditorium to applause and waves from proud parents and family as they moved on to the next chapter of their educational experience ready to use their knowledge and the voices to make a difference in the future that lies ahead.

Second half general taxes due Oyster Bay Town residents are reminded that the Second Half of the 2018 General Tax Levy is due on July 1st, but can be paid without penalty through August 10th. Please be certain to sign your check, payable to James J. Stefanich, Receiver of Taxes. Indicate your property’s school district code, section, block, lot, and phone numbers on the check. “By law, a taxpayer has a 40-day penalty free period from the date the tax is due during which payment may be submitted,” Mr. Stefanich explained. “After the 40 days, a one percent penalty is added for each month the tax remains unpaid, retroactive to July 1st.” Residents can pay in person, by either cash or check, at the Tax Office, Oyster Bay Town Hall West, 74 Audrey Avenue, Oyster Bay, or by check only at our office in Town Hall South (rear entrance), 977 Hicksville Road, Massapequa. When paying the tax bill in person, taxpayers are reminded to bring the entire tax bill with their payments. Receiver Stefanich reminded residents that due to the scheduled construction at the TOB Parking Facility,

the Hicksville Annex in this location will not be open. Residents who prefer to mail in their payments, should send them to the Office of the Receiver of Taxes, 74 Audrey Avenue, Oyster Bay, N.Y. 117711539. Payments being made by mail should include the second half stub. Residents should NOT write on, fold, staple or otherwise deface the tax stub as it can cause the computer system to reject payment. Residents now have free access to tax bills online with the ability to pay taxes through ACH check payment or credit card. These services are available through a link on our Town website, www.oysterbaytown.com. Residents should be aware there is a service fee if they chose to pay taxes online (Town of Oyster Bay receives no portion of fee). “When calling the Tax Office for information on property taxes, residents are requested to have the school district, section, block and lot numbers of the property in question available,” Receiver Stefanich stated. “This information is listed on the tax bill and on the property deed.”

Cycle the Erie to See How the Erie Canal Spurred Rise of America as Global Industrial Power

Day 6: Rome to Canajoharie, 63 Miles It’s Day 6 of our 8-day, 400-mile Parks & Trails NY’s annual Buffalo to Albany Cycle the Erie bike tour following the Erie Canalway. I was lucky last night when the deluge we had while biking stopped just

as I came into the campsite and I was able to set up my tent on the grassy area surrounding Fort Stanwix, in Rome. This morning, I am awakened at 4:15 am to another massive downpour. I check weather. com app on my cellphone which says the rain would stop by 5:45 am. So I get up at 5:45 am (which is not unusual for the Erie Canal cyclists) and sure enough, the rain has stopped. I take advantage of the

Fort Klock, built in the 18th century, where there is a 1750 farmhouse, a schoolhouse and a blacksmith shop © Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear. com dry spell to organize my packing and take down the tent to avoid more rain. Our breakfast – freshly prepared pancakes which we consume at long tables laid out with pretty placemats - is at the local YMCA before we head out onto the Canalway for our 63-mile ride to Canajoharie – the longest ride of our trip, there are actually three rest stops along the ride today, at mile 14, 41.5 and 52.5).

G O I N G P L A C E S N E A R A N D F A R

Yesterday’s rain has made the trail muddy, and when we go off the trail onto the road, there are serious headwinds and some significant hills, and my gears aren’t working properly. We ride past the Remington Arms Factory housed in a massive 19th century complex of brick buildings (the factory opened in 1816 See page D2

Cycle the Erie to See How the Erie Canal Spurred Rise of America as Global Industrial Power

Continued from page D1 and employed hundreds of people from here, which helps explain the pro-gun voting sentiment in this part of upstate New York). Two years ago, on my first Cycle the Erie biketour, I visited the Remington Museum (a highlight was seeing how they branded and marketed the guns, making a promotion deal with the celebrated Annie Oakley, for example; and how the company also produced other things, like bridges and typewriters but guns were the cash cow). I was looking forward to visiting

again but it is closed and the cyclists are clearly not invited anywhere near the premises. (News update: the Remington Arms company has filed for bankruptcy protection – and I am reminded of several other periods of financial woes in its history - but I’m betting it won’t actually go out of the business of manufacturing guns.) I come upon Historic Fort Herkimer Church, built around 1767 which is thought to be the second-oldest surviving church. From my visits to Fort Stanwix last evening, I understand

Fort Herkimer, named for General Herkimer, “the most important hero of the American Revolution that few have heard of,” who was fatally wounded at the Battle of Oriskany © Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com

why General Herkimer is known as “the most important hero of the American Revolution that few have heard of “. General Herkimer led that ill-fated group of 800 volunteers who were ambushed at Oriskany on their way to reinforce Fort Stanwix. Oriskany turned out to be one of the bloodiest battles of the Revolutionary War, with 600 killed in the space of an hour, but by a weird chain of events, indirectly altered the course of the Revolutionary War which the Americans were losing. General Herkimer died here. Later (at Mile 43.4), we pass directly in front of Herkimer’s mansion home that is literally along the Erie Canal Trail, so I take a few minutes to walk the grounds before continuing on my way, paying respects to an unsung hero. The second rest stop at mile 41.5 is at a beautiful visitor center at the Little Falls Rotary Canal Park on the bank of the river (where I buy a long-sleeve t-shirt for added warmth). The weather improves after, with 25 miles to go, and I don’t need to wear the extra shirt. Just beyond, at mile 42.6, we can explore the glacial potholes of Moss Island, a National Natural Landmark and Lock 17, the highest lift lock on the Erie Canal (located .8 miles off the route but you don’t have to hike back up). The geology here is most impressive: Moss Island trails let you see prehistoric potholes, extensive growth of mosses and lichens and some of the oldest rocks in North America. The Mohawk River Valley, the marker says, is the only

horizontal break in the Appalachian mountain chain, which is what made it possible for the Erie Canal to be built and provide a water route west for trade and settlement of the United States interior. We pass German Flatts townpark, which you are unlikely to take note of, except that in Fort Stanwix, I had learned that German Flatts had been burned to the ground by Loyalists, part of the brutal scorched-earth strategy waged by both sides in the Revolutionary War. This part of our ride immerses us in colonial-era America. At mile 52.5, we have an option of two routes to take into Canajoharie and consistent with my plan to do as much as possible differently from my first Erie Canal ride, I take the blue trail option (tour volunteers mark our route with colored chalk) along the road to three historic sites (I miss the first one, the Nellis Tavern built in 1747, which was serving travelers along this route well before the Erie Canal was opened, in 1825); I stop at Fort Klock, built in the 18th century where there is a 1750 farmhouse, a schoolhouse and a blacksmith shop); I see the Palatine church, built in 1770 by Palatine Lutherans, from across the busy road. But I also see Amish (or perhaps Mennonite) workers using a power saw and one gets into truck; an Amish horse and buggy passes by. I am happy with my decision to take this route. One of the challenges of the entire 400-mile ride now faces us: the last mile

Taking the historic “blue” route instead of the Canal trail into Canajoharie, passing farms, I encounter this scene © Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com

is the steepest climb of the trip, up to the Canajoharie High School at the very top where we will camp. There is a t-shirt for anyone who makes the climb. (I almost make it but my gears fail me, and I give up.) The Parks & Trails NY biketour organizers mercifully have arranged buses to take us back down into the town center to the Arkell Art Museum where we are being treated to a fantastic barbecue chicken dinner, and the museum is staying open for us until 7:30 pm (at a reduced fee of $5). The Arkell Art Museum was established by the millionaire founder and first president of the Beech-Nut Packing Company. I hadn’t visited the museum the last time (when we also had a fantastic chicken barbeque dinner here), so I made a point of visiting this time. Bartlett Arkell, built the original Canajoharie Gallery in 1927 based on galleries he had seen on his travels to Europe. A museum designed by Ann Beha and DesignLAB Architects was added in 2007 to the existing Canajoharie Library and Art Gallery to provide new space for exhibitions and programs. “Almost all of the paintings in the permanent collection were purchased by Bartlett Arkell for the people of

Canajoharie. The American painting collection includes 21 works by Winslow Homer, and significant paintings by many distinguished artists, including George Inness, William M. Chase, Childe Hassam, Mary Cassatt, Georgia O’Keeffe, Robert Henri, and other members of The Eight. Permanent and changing exhibitions also feature selections from the museum’s Mohawk Valley History collection as well as the Beech-Nut as the Beech-Nut archives of early twentieth-century advertising material.” I am even more intrigued by the exhibit that tells the story of Arkell and the Beech-Nut company, which (at least the photos suggest) was the Google of its day in terms of providing a cafeteria for its workers and other employee niceties. I learn that the key renovation that led to Beech-Nut’s success was the invention of the flour bag and that Beech-Nut began as a packaging enterprise; gum and candy came later (and used the peppermint oil from Hotchkiss Oil company in Lyons which we had visited). You can see the old Beech-Nut factory (now shuttered) across the street; Beech-Nut was acquired by another company which built a new

W R I T E R’S C O R N E R

The story of the “Red Wing” sailboat BY CLAIRE LYNCH I started visiting Myrtle Beach and Little River, S.C., 14 years ago. We always went in July when we were off from work and had more time to relax and unwind. Friends and I would fly from LaGuardia International Airport to Myrtle Beach International Airport, rent a car and head a few miles north. Usually in July we spent time visiting friends and relatives in the area and in our free time we would hit the beach, play miniature golf on one of Route 17’s many mini golf attractions, look at the blue water pouring down from the “volcanoes,” go swimming in pools and have leisurely meals in local restaurants. The first year that we were in the Myrtle Beach area when we were just driving around and exploring the vicinity we happened to accidentally find Coquina Harbour. Coquina Harbour is an unexpected find, a hidden treasure, really, in Little River. Many motorboats and sailboats of various sizes stay tied to the floating docks. They are finger docks so they extend the length of a typical-sized boat. It is connected with the Coquina Harbour Yacht Club. The adjacent pier goes pretty far

around and is perfect for the many walkers and joggers that we see there every time we go visit. We slap on the sunblock, the sunglasses and hats and join them in some power walking on those beautiful days when walking along the pier looking at the boats – at their cute names like the Casablanca, the Sting Rae, the Seascape and the Kokomo. Many come from Little River and others hail from North Myrtle Beach. Some come from Charleston, S.C. We saw one called the Going My Way from Gwynedd Valley, Pa. which is in Montgomery County. There is a dock master, showers and facilities for the owners and gasoline for filling up the boats. This man-made harbor in Little River was an old coquina mine that was dug in the 1960s. Coquina is a limestone substance composed of shell fragments and used for building material as in road making. The word “coquina” is a Spanish word that means shellfish, probably from “concha shell” or conch. The “hole” here was originally a lot deeper but the Army Corps of Engineers partially filled it in before allowing it to be turned into a harbor. The quarry later opened to the Intracoastal Waterway. It actually cuts into the northern banks of the Intracoastal Waterway.

Now used by four marinas, the Environmental Protection Agency determined that it was too deep and Coquina Harbour (also spelled Coquina Harbor) was filled with sand. Today the harbor is 11 feet deep. Many buildings surround the harbor and a boardwalk provides a walkway to the 50-foot Governor’s Lighthouse. (sciway.net) Restaurants and shops are close to Coquina Harbour. The harbor is not in a remote place, it’s not off the beaten track, but it is behind several buildings so offhand we didn’t know that it was there. The first year that we visited the Little River area and Coquina Harbour in particular, we walked along the pier then sat to relax, just watched the boats and the water, and inhaled the fresh air. We let our eyes wander over all of the different sights. We saw one man fishing off the rear deck of his boat. He had cast a line and was waiting for something to bite. Looking another way, I happened to spot an older sailboat off to the left side of the dock that was called the Red Wing. It was small compared to some of the larger boats and yachts that were docked there and it had seen finer days. Its hull was painted red and its deck was all white but sitting in the strong sun of South Carolina all day long, day

after day, week after week, the paint had faded over time. On one side of the marina I stood about 40 or 50 yards away but I could see his deck. When I walked around to the other side of the marina I was much closer, probably 10 yards away, but a fence protecting all of the boats and owners separated us. They owners came and went using a keypad and only they - and the dock master - knew the password. In looking at the Red Wing I noticed that it was tied really tightly to the dock and there were folding chairs on its deck. I saw a small hibachi on the deck and I thought that someone must be around the Red Wing. I kept watching and in time a man came out of the cabin. He brought his dog along with him and they went up the dock for a short walk. The dog was a solid brown-colored mutt who knew the drill. He would walk up the stairs of the cabin, emerge onto the deck, go up the pier and walk around for a while with his tail wagging then come back with his owner. Once they returned to the sailboat the dog hunkered down on the deck for See page D6

One Crazy Email Misleads Many BY TOM MARGENAU

We all know that the internet can be a force for good -- spreading knowledge and education to people around the world. But sadly, it also can be an instrument of insanity -- a tool that can be corrupted by con artists to spread lies and half-truths to an easy-to-fool public. I am reminded of this almost daily when people send me emails with links to misleading diatribes about Social Security. There have been many over the years. They are passed around from one naive and uninformed email recipient to the next. I can’t believe how gullible some people can be. But if you are predisposed to think that Social Security is the biggest fraud ever perpetrated on the American public, then you will believe anything you read on the internet that supposedly proves it. I’ve addressed similar email scams before. I keep thinking they will go away. But they continue to get tweaked, reworked and re-released to more and more people. The latest bit of puffery starts out by pointing out that some people die before they ever have a chance to collect Social Security benefits. And the misleading missive then says this proves that the government has mishandled the Social Security program because it wonders what happened to all the money these folks put into the system. Of course it’s true that over the 80-year history of the Social Security program, millions of people died before they ever had a chance to collect Social Security checks. So where did their Social Security contributions go? Well, the email’s author failed to take into account that the vast majority of those deceased taxpayers left behind widows or widowers who received Social Security benefits on their accounts. Or in the case of deceased younger workers, they left behind tens of millions of minor children who got billions of dollars over the years in monthly survivor’s benefits. (I was one of those kids about 55 years ago -- although my share of the billion-dollar pot was all of $22 per month!) And for every deceased worker who dies with no eligible dependents, there are hundreds of Social Security recipients who live well into their 80s, 90s, or even beyond and who receive far more in benefit payouts then they ever paid in Social Security taxes. If you want more precise data about where all the Social Security money went, it’s available. The Social Security Administration’s actuaries can account for every nickel ever collected in Social Security taxes -- from 1937 to present. You can go to www.socialsecurity.gov. Under “Menu” at the top of the homepage, click on “Actuarial Resources” in the “Research, Policy, and Planning”

section, and then select “Trust Funds,” and you’ll find all the information you need to know about all those nickels. Just as an example, here is a snapshot of Social Security’s balance sheet for 2016 (the most recent complete data I could find). Total income: $957.5 billion; 87.3 percent of that came from payroll and self-employment taxes; 9.2 percent came from interest earned on trust fund assets; and 3.5 percent came from taxation of Social Security benefits. Total outgo: $957.5 billion; 95.2 percent of that went to pay monthly checks to Social Security beneficiaries; 0.7 percent went to administrative expenses; 0.4 percent went to the Railroad Retirement Board to cover Social Security benefits paid to RRB beneficiaries; and 3.7 percent remained as assets in the Social Security trust funds. The silly email then goes on to try to make the point that Social Security is a rotten deal for all Americans. Using some cockamamie math, it determines that had the big bad government not stolen your money from you (in the form of Social Security payroll taxes), you would have been a millionaire living on top of the world. Historians reading this column will tell you how wonderful things were before the Social Security program was enacted. Everyone was living the good life and all senior citizens retired with Donald Trump-sized nest eggs. Those sure were the good old days! Actually, more than half of all senior citizens were living below the poverty level before Social Security came along. After 80 years of Social Security, that rate is well below 10 percent. Then the email trots out the timeworn Ponzi scheme argument, claiming that Social Security is the biggest investment scam in history. As I have pointed out many times in this column, Social Security is NOT an investment scheme. It is what its name clearly implies: a “social” insurance system. Because Social Security’s potential beneficiary pool includes almost every man, woman and child in this country, you simply cannot set aside enough capital to fund all future benefits. Like ours, almost every Social Security system on Earth (and there are about 165 Social Security programs around the world) runs on a pay-as-you-go basis -- with the taxes collected from today’s workers funding benefits payable to today’s Social Security recipients. If you want to call that a Ponzi scheme, go ahead. But it’s worked in this country for 80 years, and it’s worked in other countries for more than 100 years. It’s simply the only viable way to run a large nationwide social insurance program. Finally, the viral email goes off on a big rant about politicians who call

Social Security an “entitlement.” It’s too bad that word has taken on such a negative connotation. Because you see, Social Security is an “entitlement” in the truest sense of the term. Social Security benefits make up “Title II” of the Social Security Act. So when you become eligible for Social Security benefits, and sign an application for such benefits and your claim is approved, then you are legally “entitled” to those

monthly checks. Social Security is just one of many government “entitlements.” It’s simply a legal term. But so many people, including the author of this goofy email, get so darn worked up about it.

Cycle the Erie to See How the Erie Canal Spurred Rise of America as Global Industrial Power C ontinued from page D3 the shuttle bus back up the hill to our campsite. Day 7: Canajoharie to Schenectady, 46 Miles It is Day 7 of our 8-day ride and we are already feeling nostalgic that the end of our 400-mile journey from Buffalo to Albany is near. It’s a nice day for biking the 46 miles to Schenectady: perfect temperature, little wind, morning sun. The trail is nice, with a slight downhill tilt. A fellow has stopped on the trail and I look to where he is looking and see “Big Nose & Little Nose” – where a glacier cut a path through Appalachians which is why this was always the place where the Erie Canal could be constructed (it’s hard to appreciate because of the overgrowth of trees). A highlight of this day’s ride is the new pedestrian/bicycle bridge across the Mohawk River connecting to Amsterdam. The bridge is fabulous, much like the Walkway over the Hudson in Poughkeepsie (now one of New York State’s most popular attractions). I meet Michelle Eggleston who is a good-will ambassador for the town of Amsterdam, who tells me, “The bridge gives the community a sense of place,” she tells me. “More people are enjoying the river. My daughter started a kayak business, Down by the River Kayak. There are more boats on the river.” Amsterdam used to be a center of carpet manufacturing factories which shut down, bringing down with them the economy and living standard of the city. Now many of these buildings have been repurposed to business incubators; there is ballroom in the clock tower. “New people are moving in. Two of my four kids bought houses in Amsterdam. They are seeing it as a great place to live – the waterfront, the bike trail, restaurants they can walk to. Other business are seeing that and that Amsterdam is a great place to be, and are coming in. We had the Albany Symphony here on July 4 – thousands of people on the bridge. I’ve lived in Montgomery County my whole life – I’ve never seen that before. We have been given a sense of place; people are proud of our town.” In one fell swoop of the space of our bikeride, today, we have gone from colonial times to the Industrial Revolution, to the post-Industrial Revolution.

The story of the “Red Wing” sailboat C ontinued from page D3

some afternoon sun and some fresh air. I saw the owner reach down toward the floor of the sailboat and put a small bowl of water out for the dog. I watched their routines and it appeared that the owner of the Red Wing and his pal, the dog, lived on this old sailboat. When we returned the following July we took a drive to Coquina Harbour for some fresh air and exercise and we quickly looked around to see what boats we had seen the year before and which ones were different. Sure enough the Casablanca was there. So was the Sting Rae. So was the Seascape and so was the Red Wing. We saw the man and his dog at some point but we never ran into him. At the other end of the dock we saw a man emerge from his sailboat, come up the pier and head toward a restaurant. He said hi as he passed us and we said hi back. When he had first opened his cabin door his cat came scampering out. That cat also knew the drill – that he could take a walk and look around at all of the sights of Coquina Harbour. The second year that we went to Coquina Harbour we started walking around the marina on an afternoon when clouds were gathering overhead. I

told my friend that the clouds seemed to be getting darker. Looking up, we both hesitated then shrugged it off. The temperature dropped and the winds picked up a little. We both put on the light jackets we had brought along on our walk. Sure enough the clouds opened up and we quickly headed to a sturdy gliding chair for two on the pier that was bolted into the ground and had a canopy. Some people might call it a swing for two but technically it’s a glider. At first our little island of protection of a glider worked. The canopy kept the rain off of us and we watched the downpour onto the boats, Coquina Harbour, etc., glad to have our little protection. In a few minutes, however, the canopy couldn’t withstand the torrential rains. To our surprise (and horror) it soaked through and suddenly we were getting soaked. The thin jackets we had brought along also weren’t helping us anymore. The parking lot where my car rental was parked was far off so we looked at each other like what do we do? Just then the thunder and lightning started. We knew we should do something quickly because those steel pieces of the glider could act as little lightning rods. Just then the man with the cat emerged from his sailboat, walked up the pier and was headed on an

errand but he saw our quandary. He approached us quickly and said that he could let us into a small weight room that was close by. He had a key to the weight room. He quickly unlocked the door and let us in. Relieved, we stepped out of the rainstorm and into the weight room and of course we were glad that it was there. It took a while for the storm to pass, 45 minutes maybe, then the rain clouds went away and blue skies returned to that part of Horry County, South Carolina. We emerged safe and sound and headed for the rental car. Sudden thunderstorms in the South are pretty common so we should have been better prepared. All I could think of was the umbrella I had in my rental car but then again a metal umbrella wouldn’t have been a great thing to use during a bad thunderstorm. The skies were lighting up. This storm was pretty electric. The next time that we went back to Coquina Harbour – and in later years – we knew to pack better rain gear when we went on little excursions. We always looked to see which boats we knew were still there and we looked to see if any of the owners and their pets came out. Another year that we went to Coquina Harbour we looked out at the lighthouse then later in the day we relaxed after walking around the marina and enjoying Coquina Harbour. Sure enough, the owner of the Red Wing and his dog came out of their cabin. The man seemed to be carrying car keys and off they went. My guess is that they were going to do some errands. A little while later they came back with what appeared to be bags and bags of groceries. The man opened the fence to his slip, walked down the pier and stepped onto his sailboat. His dog followed every step of the way. Unlocking the door to his cabin, they headed downstairs presumably to stock his groceries. A few minutes later the man came back upstairs and started his hibachi on the deck. I guess he put a steak “on the barbie” because when the wind drifted our way, that’s what it smelled like. Every so often he would turn the meat on the grill. I couldn’t help but wonder what it would be like to live on a boat all of the time. This wasn’t a houseboat per se, it was a small sailboat. Part of me could see the appeal of it. No ties to the land, sell your house or stop leasing your apartment, get rid of most of your possessions and head for the water. I wouldn’t want to have to leave my boat, however, every time that a hurricane is forecast but that must be the reality. It wouldn’t be safe to stay on a small boat when these storms strike.

The last time that I went to Coquina Harbour was in July of 2017 and the Red Wing was still tied securely to the dock. It occurred to me then that there are lots of questions I’d like to ask the occupant of the Red Wing. How long was he there? I know that it had to be 13+ years. What prompted him to choose a boat life? Does he ever miss living on land? He strikes me as someone who is content with his own company - and that of his dog. I’m sure that he has found ways to keep busy. He lives in a medium-sized community of other boat lovers. Not all of the slips are filled but most are. I’m sure that he’s had chances to talk to and interact with the other sailors and boaters. What do they talk about? The terms of sailors or just everyday talk such as how’s the weather, how is your day going, etc. On occasion I’ve been at the Coquina Harbour marina at night, at 9 and 10 p.m. when it’s pitch dark out and, looking out across the marina, I’ve seen a little light on in the cabin of the Red Wing. Was he reading a good book, watching some TV or listening to some of his favorite music on his transistor radio? I mention watching TV because walking along the marina I’ve seen small satellite dishes attached to the docks. One per boat if they are going to stay for any length of time and I looked, the Red Wing had a satellite dish. I have to think that he comes out from time to time not just for groceries but perhaps to go to a local bank, to a movie, to a library or maybe to meet up with a friend at a diner. Each day and night has seemed fairly routine and quiet when I’ve stopped at the Coquina Harbour marina and looked all around but I’m sure that there have been times when he and the other sailors have had to evacuate when bad weather is forecast. South Carolina has its share of bad storms and the occasional hurricane. Where does he go then? Where does he wait out the bad weather with his dog and his provisions? I don’t know the end to this story. This is one of those stories that has no conclusion - not yet, anyway. I just go back to the Coquina Harbour marina from time to time, look around, observe the behavior of the sailors and boaters, and I often wonder what it would be like to give up house or home, to give up most of my possessions, to bring along a cat or a dog or some pet for companionship and live alone out on the water, to live out under the big sky and the clear, bright stars, out on Coquina Harbour in South Carolina. What would it be like? I have to wonder about that.

Summer fun that is close to home

Summer is prime vacation season when travelers take trips to every corner of the world. While faraway destinations abound, those looking for fun can also find enjoyable activities much closer to home.

Many communities come alive during the warmer weather, hosting an array of locally driven events. People looking for a day of entertainment or an evening of excitement may be able to find an event that’s just a short car

ride away. Pick up a local newspaper or log on to your town’s official website to browse a listing of events in your community this summer. Here are a few events you’re bound to find. • Carnivals and fun fairs: Open land or empty parking lots can be transformed into bustling carnivals in a matter of days. Carnivals or fairs may be sponsored by private businesses or local religious organizations looking to raise funds. Some fairs are established by the county and attract participants from near and far. Carnivals often boast a wide array of entertainment, from amusement park-style rides to games of chance to music. • Summer concert series: Summer concerts series typically begin when the weather warms up, and music may not stop playing until Labor Day. Concerts may range from more intimate affairs that attract a few dozen people to a town square to larger events at beaches and boardwalks that draw thousands of visitors. • Food festivals: Various towns close down their Main Streets from time to time to accommodate food festivals that feature a variety of cuisines. Some food

festivals may feature one ingredient, such as garlic or cheese, while others may delve deeper and offer broader menus. Food festivals allow visitors to sample many different treats and may serve to advertise for neighborhood eating establishments. • Street fairs: Street fairs also may close down thoroughfares in town. These events usually bring together a variety of vendors selling their wares in an open market setting. You can make a day of touring all of the vendor booths and buying handmade items from local artisans. • Outdoor movies: Local parks frequently host summer movie nights when participants can view a movie on the big screen while under the stars. This can be an informal way to get the entire family together for a fun flick. Films are typically family-friendly and schedules are available well in advance. Bring a blanket and some snacks and enjoy an inexpensive evening together. Many people need not travel far for a little summertime fun, as many communities host fun events throughout the warmer months.

Mid- to late-summer is peak carnival and fair season. During this time of year, empty fields and parking lots are transformed into entertainment wonders featuring rides, foods and plenty of games of chance. Carnival games are a fun diversion. Thousands and thousands of fairgoers test their luck at these games when carnivals roll into town. Games often seem as though they are stacked in the house’s favor, but games are not impossible to win. A few pointers can increase any player’s chances of winning. • Ring toss: The object of this game is to throw a ring and have it settle around the neck of a bottle. For the best chances, toss the ring so that it remains as flat horizontally as possible. Think of throwing it as you would a Frisbee®. • Milk bottle pyramid: In this game, participants have to throw a softball to knock over milk bottles stacked in a pyramid. It seems easy, but sometimes the weight of the softball is not in proportion to the weight of the bottles. The ball may be filled with cork, and the bottles may be weighted on the bottom. Aim for the center of the two lowest bottles and throw the ball as hard as you can. • Basketball shot: In this game, the rim of the basketball net is likely smaller than regulation and the backboard may be stiffer than players are accustomed to. In addition, the ball may be

overinflated so that it is more bouncy. Try a high arc that will help you swish the ball. Otherwise, aim for the top of the square on the backboard so that the ball will bank right into the net. • Whack-a-mole: This game is fun because a player can go after whichever critter pops out of the hole. A key advantage to this game is never to raise the mallet higher than the height of the mole. This ensures a faster swing and a quicker resetting to hit the next mole that pops up. • Balloons and darts: To counteract potentially dull darts, look for the shiniest, thinnest balloons. Those are the ones that are inflated the most. This will increase your chances of popping a balloon. • Frog toss: Young children are drawn to this game because they get to launch a rubber frog into the air and throw it toward a lily pad. The chance of getting wet combined with pounding a mallet can make this game quite attractive. To improve your odds of winning, make the frog as small as possible by folding its legs underneath the body. Aim high so that the frog is launched in a high arc and has a better chance of landing in that lily pad cup. Carnival games can be entertaining. Players have a greater chance of taking home a prize if they learn some secrets of each game they play.

Syosset elementary students move up to middle school

Fifth-graders in the Syosset School District looked ahead to the next step in their K-12 careers and a new home as all seven District elementary schools conducted moving up exercises to celebrate the culmination of their students’ elementary education, as well as their advancement to the middle school. One thing was perfectly clear: Whether attending Harry B. Thompson or South Woods, they will all arrive well prepared for the challenges of the future. During their respective promotion ceremonies, fifth-graders at each elementary school were honored with multiple awards, from academic awards to recog-

nitions for their participation in Student Council, NYSSMA, the Nassau All-County Artist program and the character education program PRIDE. Principals and teachers presented each student with a certificate to recognize their promotion from elementary to middle school. Some recalled this group’s days as kindergartners, while others provided helpful suggestions for the future, such as make new friends and make the most of the increased programs available to them. Most importantly, they all conveyed confidence in their students’ abilities to succeed and become caring, constructive members of society.
