“SHOOTOUT FOR SOLDIERS”

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino (center) recently attended the Shootout for Soldiers 24-Hour Lacrosse Benefit Game in Massapequa, where more than $178,000 was raised for veterans and active duty military personnel. Shootout for Soldiers provides local lacrosse players a chance to enjoy a sport they love in a unique way while also raising charitable funds to support the brave men and women of the United States Armed Forces.

Town needs donors in blood emergency

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and Councilman Joseph Muscarella today announced that the Town will host a blood drive on Thursday, August 2nd, to help hospitals meet the ongoing and pressing need for blood donations. The blood drive will take place between 9am and 3pm at Town Hall North (54 Audrey Avenue, Oyster Bay) and between 9:30am and 3:30pm at Town Hall South (977 Hicksville Road, Massapequa). “Blood supplies can easily dwindle during the summer months, so blood drives like this are critical

to help hospitals meet demand and continue their life-saving mission,” said Supervisor Saladino. “I urge all those eligible to participate and help support our efforts, as blood banks need to be prepared, so that as many people as possible can be helped.” To qualify as a blood donor, a person must between the ages of 17 and 75 years old (16 with parental permission and 76 or older with a doctor’s note), weigh at least 110 pounds and not have donated blood within the last 56 days. Anyone who received a tattoo within the past 12 months is ineligible to donate. It is recommend-

ed that volunteers eat well (low fat) and drink fluids in the days before the blood drive. “We are in the midst of an emergency blood shortage and this is why people should always donate whenever they can,” Councilman Muscarella added. Refreshments will be provided for all who donate blood. For additional information regarding the Town’s blood drive, contact Nancy Haarstick at (516) 624-6304 or visit the Town’s website at www.oysterbaytown.com.

To provide residents an extended opportunity to share their input, the Town of Oyster Bay has announced that the comment period for the Syosset Park Draft Environmental Impact Study (DEIS) has been extended until August 31st. The study was released earlier this year for a mixed-use development proposal located at the intersection of the Long Island Expressway service road and Robbins Lane in Syosset. In addition to the DEIS, the Town and the applicant have further agreed to provide an additional comment period for the independent environmental testing of the site. “We heard our residents loud and clear when they called for additional independent testing to be performed at this site, and the applicant has agreed to fund the work requested by residents,” said Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor Joseph Saladino. “The Town is forming a Citizen Advisory Committee to guide the independent testing process and all comments on the independent testing will be accepted through January 31st, 2019. However, the Town will not accept a final study from the applicant until the public has been given the opportunity to fully review the testing plan and final results.” Residents who wish to review the DEIS may visit the Office of the Town Clerk in Oyster Bay, as well as at the Syosset Library and Jericho Library, or log onto www.oysterbaytown.com to view a digital copy. Written comments will be accepted until August 31st and should be directed to George Baptista, Deputy Commissioner of the Department of Environmental Resources, 29 Spring Street, Oyster Bay, NY 11771 or via e-mail at gbaptista@oysterbay-ny.gov. Comments can also be submitted through the Town’s website, www.oysterbaytown.com.

Biography Day at Robert Seaman School

Realtor welcomes new sales associate

Catherine Dorsa

Photo by Judy Walker Photography

Homes By Mara Realty of Syosset is pleased to welcome Catherine Dorsa of Jericho as its licensed salesperson. New to the residential real estate industry, Dorsa joins Homes By Mara while working as a licensed insurance specialist for life, health, and disability with Premier Financial Network in Huntington Station. Prior to joining Homes By Mara, she was previous-

ly working as a realtor with Premier Realty Network, a sister affiliate to Premier Financial Network. Dorsa, who has a Bachelor’s Degree in business from SUNY Old Westbury and an Associate of Arts Degree from Nassau Community College, says her experience and skills in insurance is a benefit to her focus in residential real estate. “There is a great correlation between my work in insurance and real estate,” she explains. “Both involve responsibilities in meeting with clients, discussing their needs, and finding a specific fit tailored to what they are looking for. Whether it’s serving an insurance client, home buyer or home seller, I am always attentive to my clients’ specific wants and needs and am dedicated to meeting their goals. While all my clients may be different with different goals, I make sure I deliver the utmost integrity to all my clients, which is a fiduciary rule in both real estate and insurance.” Beyond real estate and insurance, Dorsa has also worked in marketing, serving as marketing account executive of five years for Amsterdam Consulting in Jericho. It was after this that she went on sabbatical to focus on raising her two children before getting licensed to work in the insurance industry and becoming a licensed insurance specialist with Premier Financial Network.

By the end of 2018, the LIRR station in Syosset will have a whole new look for commuters. The improvements are part of a $5.6 billion transformation of the LIRR on behalf of a state-granted initiative. Upgrades at the Syosset station will include a platform renewal and new LED platform lighting. The interior facilities will be completely renovated, with newly refurbished restrooms, and the station plaza and pedestrian walkways will be rehabilitated. Other amenities will include Wi-Fi and USB charging stations, as well as improved signage and modernized information displays. "It is exciting to see the Syosset LIRR station be brought into the 21st century with this upcoming major upgrade," said State Assemblyman Michael Montesano. "These upgrades are going to enhance the overall LIRR experience for customers by making their wait for the train much more convenient. Overall, I am very pleased with the work that is being put into improving this station for commuters."

Margaret Sullivan, who commutes to the city from the station, said she is happy to hear about the new additions to the station. "I think better lighting will help from a safety standpoint, and the updated displays and signage will make it much easier for commuters," said Sullivan. "It gets cold standing on the platform in winter, so improvements to the waiting room will also be beneficial to everyone." The Wi-Fi and charging stations will add an element of safety for people who regularly ride the train, ensuring that they have access to their mobile phones. "Having these charging areas will ensure riders always have access to their phones, which is crucial in case there's an emergency," said Montesano. "New digital signs and electronic information display columns will keep riders informed of delays, cancelations and any other issues they may run into while riding the LIRR." People who ride their bikes to the station will also be happy to hear that the station house will have newly added bike racks installed.

Library kicks off summer with grand Lego fan event Some 2,650 LEGO enthusiasts of all ages converged at the Syosset Library in June for Bricks Rock, a two-day festival of all things LEGO presented by I LUG NY, the New York Tri-State Area LEGO Users Group. An independent, unaffiliated organization of LEGO hobbyists, I LUG NY provided bricks, sculptures, expertise, and more. There were building stations, LEGO-themed scavenger hunts, LEGO movies, stop-motion LEGO animation workshops, and The Great Ball Contraption, a Rube Goldberg–style machine made entirely of LEGO bricks. The festival was the brainchild of Syosset High School alumnus Damian McGee, a member of I LUG NY. Earlier this year, Mr. McGee presented the idea for the festival to Children’s Librarian Jessikah Chautin and Teen Librarian Sharon Long, who immediately saw the appeal. “We knew immediately that this was a great idea that both children and adults would enjoy,” Ms. Chautin said. “We were certain that families

would play together, build together, and make connections.” Ms. Long added, “Bricks Rock is just one of many efforts to expand our services in ways that are both fun and educational all year round—even during the summer.” Visit www.sycon.org to see the animations that children created during the festival and the dynamic sculptures built by members of I LUG NY that were on display. Bricks Rock was one of many Syosset Library programs scheduled for the summer. Upcoming events include concerts, lectures, book discussions, film screenings, and many other activities for people of all ages. With a Syosset Library card, you can even sign up to use a 3D printer.

Dunne & Kenneth L. Gartner Runners and walkers from all over Long Island and beyond are invited to join in the fun for what is one of the most unusual 5-kilometer courses on Long Island, at the Sunday, August 5th Lynn, Gartner, Dunne & Covello Sands Point Sprint. This year’s Sprint will once again benefit ACDS, serving Long Island children and adults with Down Syndrome, autism, and other developmental disabilities and their families. The 5K Run presents the Long Island running community with an opportunity to traverse a unique combination of paved roads and runner-friendly woodland trails at the Sands Point Preserve at the tip of the Port Washington peninsula. Race management chores will be handled by the Greater Long Island Running Club. The 216-acre Sands Point Preserve is an unparalleled mixture of natural and landscaped areas. Forests, meadows, beach and cliffs, gardens, and a freshwater pond provide habitats for a variety of plants and animals. The proximity of all these different habitats provided us with a unique opportunity to create a 5K course that will enable all the runners and walkers to experience the various aspects of the entire Preserve. This is an unforgettable course and will be an unforgettable experience. The leading Mineola law firm of Lynn, Gartner, Dunne & Covello will

be returning as the lead sponsor of the event, and partners John Dunne and Ken Gartner are both planning on running the race. Ken Gartner finished last year’s race in 27:04 (20 seconds faster than his 2016 time!), while John Dunne scored in a very nice 34:29. The list of amenities at the Run includes awards in 5 year age groups running from 10 and under through 90 plus, as well as Clydesdale/Athena Awards, a top quality commemorative shirt to every entrant, outstanding refreshments, beer, and a nice variety of post-race door prizes. Top local finishers in last year’s edition of the Run included 16-year-old Jake Meyers of Plainview, who scored in 7th place overall and 2nd in the 15-19 age group, Ryan Kapoor of Jericho, who earned third place honors in that same 15-19 age group, Rachel Quattrocchi of Plainview, who finished as the third woman overall and 1st in the 30-34 age group, and 90-year-old Bert Jablon of Syosset, who was the oldest finisher in the Run. Registration is open online at www. glirc.org. And the entry fee is only $25 for those who register in advance at $30 for those who wait until the day of the Run to register. Call Mike or Linda at the Running Club at (516) 349-7646 for more information or for printed entry forms.

Gatsby-esque Jazz Age Lawn Party is Joyful Escape on Governors Island, New York City’s Island Retreat BY KAREN RUBIN TRAVEL FEATURES SYNDICATE GOINGPLACESFARANDNEAR.COM

Flappers and Dapper Dans packed the ferry to Governors Island for the 13th annual Jazz Age Lawn Party, June 16 and 17. Take heart if you missed the June weekend festival: there is another opportunity to transport yourself back to the Gatsby Era, on August 25 & 26. The Jazz Age Lawn Party is a chance to push back the clock to a Gatsby-esque Brigadoon of sorts. It is the best of New York and brings out the best of New Yorkers. The music and atmosphere brings out pure joy -– it is one perennial smile For an entire afternoon you are transported – quite literally by ferry from the tip of Manhattan and Brooklyn – to the 1920s era of hot jazz. People of all ages, dressed to the nine’s as flappers and gents, bearing wicker picnic baskets (some with tables, tablecloths and candelabra), stream onto the island, with its forts and structures from the Civil War and World War II. It is but a stone’s throw from Manhattan and Brooklyn, and yet a world and an era away. Michael Arenella and his Dreamland Orchestra create this literal dream, with his meticulously recreated music of the 1920s. There is impeccable faithful reproduction – even the cocktails are Speakeasy-worthy and if you didn’t have appropriate attire, you could rent or buy vintage at one of the stalls, take a tintype photo or a photo sitting on a blue moon with a vintage camera. Over the years, the regulars have returned, now with babies, now with toddlers, now with their little boys in their See page D2

caps and suspenders, little girls with hair bows, dresses and patent leather shoes who join in the dancing. Interlude music is provided on vintage vinyl recordings over antique gramophones.

The only thing that bursts the illusion, to jostle your memory of what year it is, are the ubiquitous cell phones. Conductor, composer, musician and crooner Michael Arenella presents a personally transcribed, one-of-a-kind songbook for your listening and dancing

pleasure by his Dreamland Orchestra, playing the Hot Jazz of the 1920s. The entertainment abounds on two stages (and two dancefloors): The Dreamland Follies evoke Ziegfeld-esque grand dance routines; Roddy Caravella and the Canarsie Wobblers is a funloving dance troupe that conjures the rebellious and exuberant spirit of Roaring ‘20s; Queen Esther pays tribute to jazz royalty of yore and Peter Mintun takes the moniker of “world’s greatest piano man”; and the Gelber & Manning Band, feuding vaudevillian lovebirds quarrel, coo and make beautiful music together. Also Drew Nugent and the Midnight Society have come from Philadelphia, presents wry, spry, and certifiably Hot Jazz; The Great Dubini (Gregory Dubin), the resident magician in The McKittrick Follies at The Mandeerlay Bar, presents his unique brand of classic magic. There are fun activities as well which you can join: the event typically starts with a dance lesson (the Peabody was being taught on Sunday), followed in the afternoon by a Dance Contest; a Bathing Beauties and Beaus Promenade, wearing vintage swimming outfits of the age (for entry email: bluevoon@aol. com), and a Children’s parade. The afternoon starts off with dance lessons in the hottest dance steps of the time, like the Peabody or Charleston.

You can immortalize the day in your own Vintage Portraits-You Ought To Be In Pictures, perched on a Paper Moons or in tintypes using the same techniques and chemicals (a mixture of gunpowder and ether) as were used more than a century ago; the ultimate family-friendly event also features Kidland carnival games and prizes for junior Gents and Flapperettes. There’s also a 1920s MotorCar Exhibition, where you can get up close and personal with flivvers and Tin Lizzies, and Antique Gramophones that reanimate original recordings from the 1920s. And what would a Prohibition-era, speakeasy event be without booze? Julie Reiner presents her Clover club Collection cocktails and VieVité, Côtes de Provence Rosé is the official wine sponsor of the Jazz Age Lawn Party. (Take note: you can’t bring in your own alcoholic beverages to Governor’s Island.) The event typically sells out and tickets are only available for purchase in advance. For tickets and information visit, http://jazzagelawnparty. com/. Purchase tickets at http:// jazzagelawnparty.ticketfly.com/. Break away from the music and dancing to explore Governors Island, by bike or foot. Governors Island: New York City’s Island Retreat So Near Yet So Far Away, Introduces Glamping Governors Island, a 712-acre island in the heart of New York Harbor, but 800 yards off Lower Manhattan and even closer to Brooklyn, is a sensational getaway destination, in its own right – historic sites like Fort Jay and Castle Williams, bicycle paths, playgrounds, art venues, and marvelous festive “happenings.” You never have had to go so near to be transported so far. Be one of the first guests to stay overnight on NYC’s historic Governors Island with Collective Retreats. With unique accommodations including luxury tents (glamping) and designer modular containers, guests enjoy a full-service hotel-style retreat with unparalleled waterfront views of New York City and the Statue of Liberty (collectiveretreats.com). You can rent bicycles at Citibikes and at Blazing Saddles (which offers a free hour-long ride weekdays before noon) and delightful surreys. Governors Island has a fabulous history that goes back to the Native Americans and colonial days of the Dutch and the British in New York. It has had a military purpose going back to the Revolutionary War. Between 1806 and 1809, the U.S. Army reconstructed Fort Jay and built Castle Williams on a rocky outcropping facing the harbor.

During the War of 1812, artillery and infantry troops were concentrated on Governors Island. The island continued to serve an important military function until the 1960s. During the American Civil War, it was used for recruitment and as a prison for captured Confederate soldiers (on one visit, I came upon Civil War reenactors practicing drills, quite a mind-bender from having just come from the 1920s Jazz Age Lawn Party). Throughout World War I and II, the island served as an important supply base for Army ground and air forces (my father was stationed at Fort Jay during the war.) Over the years, Governors Island has served as the backdrop for a number of historic events. In 1986, the island was the setting for the relighting of the newly refurbished Statue of Liberty by President Ronald Reagan. In 1988, President Reagan hosted a U.S.-U.S.S.R. summit with Mikhail Gorbachev on Governors Island, and in 1993, the United Nations sponsored talks on the island to help restore democratic rule in Haiti. In April 2010, Mayor Bloomberg and Governor Paterson reached an agreement on the future of Governors

Island. The City of New York is now responsible for Governors Island and created the Trust for Governors Island, the organization charged with the operations, planning and redevelopment of the Island. The Island has become known as New York City’s “Playground for the Arts,” hosting cultural events, food festivals, concerts, performances throughout the season. The Trust for Governors Island, also offers a wide variety of programming on public access days. Visit them at www. govisland.com for more information. Access to the island has been greatly improved. This summer, you can stay late on Fridays, when is open until 10 pm (May 25-September 14); you can have cocktails and dinner at the outdoor cafes and bars; outdoor films and other events are scheduled. Governors Island is open daily May 1-October 31, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays, and weekends from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Fridays from May 25-September 14 until 10 p.m..

“Yes! We have no bananas” - Music to Shop by BY MARJORIE GOTTLIEB WOLFE *The song, “Yes, We Have No Bananas” was a big hit in 1923. The novelty song was written by Frank Silver and Irving Cohn from the B’way revue, “Make It Snappy.” It was recorded by hundreds of artists: Billy Jones, Louis Prima, Al Jolson, Benny Goodman, and The Muppets. The song came out because there was a banana shortage in NYC and it was a fun song. There are many different versions. A little trivia: Americans love bananas. The average person eats between 20 and 30 lbs. of bananas a year. Music in retail is a field that has been studied since the 1980s. Research shows that stores use sights, smells, sound and other stimuli in combination to create a shopping atmosphere. Stew Leonard’s has been called the “Disneyland of Dairy Stores.” As customers walk through the aisles, they are greeted by employees dressed up in costume and by animatronic characters. One early study found that when the music was loud, shoppers tended to spend LESS time in the store. When the music was softer, shoppers tended to spend MORE time in the store. A study by Prof. Ronald E. Milliman showed that slow music makes people move more slowly through the store,

and they end up buying more. Slow sad songs result in more sales. Two examples of slow sad songs: “Yesterday” by the Beatles, and “Someone Like You” (Adele). A 2018 study found that rocking out to “Shake it Off” in the cereal aisle can cause the shopper to spend more money and make unplanned purchases. So, according to Lisa Freedman (RachelRaymag.com), those musically inspired impulse buys could lead to more inventive meals. Another interesting fact, people shopping in a liquor store may buy more expensive wines if the store offers classical music in the background. Research shows that shoppers who had little or no experience buying wine bought more expensive wines when classical music was playing. And so if I shop at a kosher meat market—and the owner plays the “Gefilte Fish” song by Isidor Lillian— will I spend more? The lyrics [in part]: Hungarians love their gulash with paprika, Poles, they favor bigos meat with bread, Russians, they prefer their borsht red, Germans would rather have cabbage dumplings. Mamelige is favored by Roumanians, And Georgians just love their shashlik. None of these folks know what’s really

good, On the contrary, say what’s really good? Gefilte fish, gefilte fish. BTW, Jeff Warmouth defines gefilte fish as follows: Ball made of ground fish, served in a jar. Basically a fish version of Spam. Treated by some as a delicacy; by others as disgusting. And so, I’m going to suggest to my ShopRite owner, Jon Greenfield, that he play the following songs while I do my weekly shopping: • “Yes! We Have No Bananas” We have no bananas today. We have string beans and onions Cabbages & scallions And all kinds of fruit, and say We have an old fashioned tomato A Long Island potato But we have no bananas We have no bananas today… • If I Knew You Were Comin I’d ‘ve Baked A Cake” (Eileen Barton) • Life Is Just A Bowl of Cherries” (Rudy Vallee) • Food, Glorious Food (cast of Oliver) • Egg Man” (Beastie Boys) • I’ve Got A Lovely Bunch of Coconuts (Danny Kaye) . Hand Me Down that Can of Beans (Cast of Paint Your Wagon)

. A Little Bit of Cucumber” (Harry Champion) . I Can’t Git A Nice Loaf A’ Bread (The Singing Postman) • Cereal Soup (Bicycle Thief) • Marshmallow World (Bing Crosby) • Mean Mr. Mustard (The Beatles) • Oh! That Gorgonzola Cheese (by Harry Champion) • Real Girls Eat Cake (The Janoskians) • Strawberry Fields Forever (The Beatles) • Thanks For The Pepperoni (George Harrison) • The Worst Pies in London (cast of SweeneyTodd) • TV Dinners (ZZ Top) Marjorie Wolfe’s favorite supermarket story: A man from Mars entered the bakery dept. of a supermarket. He asks the counterperson, “Hey, what are these small wheels?” “They’re not wheels. They’re bagels. Here. Try one.” The martian tried an “everything” bagel. A beatific smile crossed his lips. “Wow! These would go great with cream cheese—and lox!” (Source: Leo Rosten and others)

The ‘Ex’ Factor and Social Security BY TOM MARGENAU

Q: My ex-wife was getting divorced spouse benefits on my account. She recently died. How do I go about getting her benefits added back into my account? A: There is nothing to add back to your account. Social Security benefits paid to divorced spouses, and for that matter, benefits paid to any dependent spouse or child, are merely add-on benefits. They don’t take a nickel away from anything the primary account holder is due. So now that she has died, her checks merely stop. No other adjustments to your Social Security record are necessary. Q: My ex-wife (we were married for 27 years) is trying to get benefits on my account. She isn’t a nice person and she was very antagonistic and mean-spirited to me throughout the divorce process. I don’t want her to get any of my Social Security. So how do I stop her from doing this? A: Assuming she meets all the eligibility requirements, you can’t stop her from getting benefits on your record. To qualify for those benefits, she would have to be at least 62, not due higher benefits on her own record, and unmarried. So maybe you want to introduce her to a handsome retiree and hope he sweeps her off her feet and leads her down the aisle. Otherwise, she’ll be getting Social Security checks on your record. But as I pointed out in the prior answer, whatever she gets doesn’t take anything away from you or your Social Security account. So don’t lose too much sleep over this. Q: My first wife and I were married for more than 30 years before divorcing five years ago. I have remarried. She hasn’t. We remain good friends, and I would like to do anything I can to make sure she gets spousal benefits from my Social Security. Do I need to sign any papers granting her permission? By the way, I am already getting my Social Security. My ex is about to turn 62 and is ready to file. A: People sure are curious creatures, aren’t they? The guy who wrote the prior question was trying to do everything in his power to keep his ex from getting any of his Social Security. And here you are -- bending over backwards to help your former spouse. That’s nice. But you don’t have to do any bending. There is nothing you need to do and no papers you need to sign. Your ex merely needs call the Social Security Administration at 800-772-1213 to get the ball rolling. Assuming she isn’t due higher benefits on her own record, she will get an amount equal to about onethird of your full Social Security benefit. Q: There is an older guy living on our block who doesn’t get along with anyone in the neighborhood.

I’d guess he’s in his 70s, and he’s living with a younger woman. Neighborhood gossip says that he is getting Social Security and that this 40-something girlfriend of his is also getting benefits. And on top of that, he was married at least three times before and we understand all his ex-wives are getting Social Security from him, too. No wonder Social Security has such problems if we are sending monthly checks to all these women! A: Neighborhood gossip sure can be entertaining, but it’s not always reliable. For example, there is a guy on our block whom everyone calls “GI Joe” because they don’t know his real name and because he seems to have a lot of hunting gear in his garage. The word was out that this guy was very strange and that you better keep your distance from him. Well, the other day, I bumped into him at our local Home Depot and struck up a conversation. He turned out to be a very nice man who just happens to like his privacy. He makes and sells duck decoys online and is very artistic and has quite a successful business. The lesson of that story is not to put so much faith into neighborhood gossip. And don’t believe stories about someone’s eligibility for Social Security benefits; no one really knows what is going on. But I can tell you this: There is no way his 40-something girlfriend is getting Social Security benefits on his record unless they have young children at home. And you didn’t mention any kids. Also, it is extremely unlikely that all three of his alleged ex-wives are getting benefits on his Social Security account. I am sure that one or more of those women has remarried, which negates any benefits they might be due from your neighbor. Or even if they have not remarried, there is a good chance they worked and are due higher benefits on their own Social Security accounts. Throughout my 32-year career with the Social Security Administration, I probably saw tens of thousands of Social Security records. And in all that time, I recall only once seeing an account where a guy had a current spouse and two ex-spouses claiming benefits on his record. Q: My wife and I recently divorced. We are in our 70s. We both get our own Social Security. Mine is $2,122 and she gets about $2,445. I heard that Social Security discriminates against men. In other words, when she dies, I won’t be due any divorced widower’s benefits on her record? A: You heard wrong. Social Security laws are gender neutral. So assuming you meet all the eligibility requirements, you will get an extra $323 in monthly divorced widower’s benefits

added to your own retirement check if your ex-wife precedes you in death. If you have a Social Security question,

Great Escape Adventures Introduces Shorter Global Scavenger Hunt for Fall The Global Scavenger Hunt, a reallife around-the-world travel adventure competition, is launching a new shorter version of its annual international travel adventure this fall, The Global Scavenger Hunt WEST. “After taking hundreds of adventurous Indiana Jones-types around-the-world successfully 14 times to 85 countries, we are going small,” says event CEO (that’s Chief Experience Officer), William D. Chalmers. “Since starting our travel world championship event in 2000, we have received thousands of requests to create a shorter version…an abridged regional version, of our incredible 23-day global event. We always knew that mystery surprise vacation adventures were thrilling, travelers love them. And they are trending and hot now too.” The 2018 fall Global Scavenger Hunt WEST adventure will maintain

all the unique elements of the larger global event—travelers will visit destinations that are kept secret, they partake in culturally immersive interactive local site-doing scavenger hunts, and it is a competition—but the 2018 WEST adventure will be limited in time and geography: taking place over 14-days, instead of 23-days; and visiting four secret countries on a single continent, rather than circling the globe to ten nations. “Our fall Global Scavenger Hunt WEST adventure will continue to do what we do best…take people on life-changing adventures, taking them on A Blind Date with World— we’re still not telling which mysterious destinations they will be visiting with WEST being their only clue!— and striving to get travelers outside their comfort zones to trust strangers in strange lands.” promises Chalmers, “It

Where you will actually go on the Global Scavenger Hunt is a secret, but the program always results in opportunities to be immersed in culture, like a market in India © Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com is all about authentic, challenging and participatory travel—soul-rejuvenating travel.” The inaugural Global Scavenger Hunt WEST adventure will begin October 13 (at a to-be-determined North American gateway city) ending twoweeks, four or five countries later, on October 27. In between, Amazing Race wannabe’s will achieve travel nirvana visiting mysterious destination gems, uncovering cryptic clues, carrying out secret missions, hunting down masterpieces, sampling extraordinary cuisines, using pre-industrial modes of transport, and happily facing lifeenriching challenges. As in the annual around-the-world event, this shorter adventure will also be a hands-on and transformative adventure with a high WOW-Factor for jaded travelers and busy people alike.

“I know better than most that getting, let alone taking, three weeks off, is a challenge for most Americans,” continues Chalmers, author of the 2013 book Who Stole Your Vacation? America’s Vacation Deficit Disorder, “This shorter two-week version will allow more adventurous travelers to join in on the fun we have been providing travelers since 2000.” The 14-day 2018 adventure is limited to 12 teams of two (24 travelers) with a $7,450 per person entry fee that includes: all international airfare, first class hotels, 40% of meals, and special event-related travel gear. Single travelers are welcome to apply. Contact GreatEscape Adventures at +1.310.281.7809 or apply online at GlobalScavengerHunt.com.

Movies, music, TV shows, comics, and audiobooks galore Beginning this summer, Syosset Library patrons can enjoy even more online content thanks to partnerships with two new Internet services. The services, hoopla and Kanopy, significantly expand hassle-free, round-theclock access to media—films, television programs, music, ebooks, and audiobooks—that can be enjoyed on home computers, mobile devices, and HDTV sets. “After a simple signup process, patrons can instantly borrow, stream, or download content. No waiting, no late fees, always available,” said Library Director Christine Belling. “Both services are easy to use. All that’s needed is a Syosset library card and a web browser, smart phone, or tablet.” Content can also be delivered to televisions through setups such as Apple-TV, Chromecast, and Roku. Kanopy offers more than 30,000 films including award winning documentaries, film festival favorites, rare and hard to find titles, indie and classic films. Kanopy Kids is available and includes TV series, learning language, animated storybooks, anime favorites,

classic films and movies for the whole family. An added bonus: Teachers may use Kanopy materials in the classroom. Most films have a closed caption option and are accompanied by a searchable transcript. There also is a citation tool useful for student research. Hoopla offers films, music, audiobooks, and ebooks, including comics. For children, there are story-time classics, fairy tales, learning videos, graphic novels, and more. Adults can choose from thousands of offerings, including a particularly strong selection of documentary, classic, independent, and international films. Virtually all musical genres are represented, from show tunes to classical, rhythm and blues, jazz, pop, rock, alternative, and everything in between. Patrons may check out five titles per month from each service. The loan period for Kanopy films is 72 hours. The loan period for hoopla items ranges from three days to three weeks depending on the type of material. Both services permit films to be viewed an unlimited number of times during the loan period. Kanopy and hoopla add to the

library’s growing online collection already available, including RB Digital magazines, Quello for concerts, and the Nassau Digital Doorway for ebooks and audiobooks. The Syosset Library staff is eager to help patrons explore all of

the library’s online services. For more information or to connect with a staff member familiar with your device, visit the library in person or on the web at www.syossetlibrary.org, or call 516-9217161.
