Town granted $100K to build dog park

FIRE SAFETY LESSON

The children from Faith Nursery School, Jackson Avenue, Syosset, would like to thank fireman Ken Johnson for teaching them all about fire safety. Fireman Ken has been a friend to Faith for over 30 years and it is always exciting when he visits.

Two charged with endangering children Nassau County Police arrested two men for allegedly endangering the welfare of children who were sent by them to solicit donations for an organization called “New York Youth Club”. According to police, on Sunday, October 14th, 2nd precinct officers observed an 11-year-old female standing alone, soliciting candy and cookies in front of Starbucks on S. Oyster Bay Road. Police say that the girl was not properly dressed for the decreasing temperatures. They say she informed the officers

The Town of Oyster Bay has received a grant for $100,000 for construction of a new, state-of-the-art dog park. Earlier this year, officials met with North Shore residents to discuss the construction of a dog park at under-utilized space at Charles E. Ransom Beach in Bayville. Additionally, the Town will construct a new playground adjacent to the dog park. New York State Senator Carl Marcellino said, “After learning of the need for a dog park on our north shore, I secured the necessary State funding for the Town of Oyster Bay to construct a new venue for our pets to play freely and get some exercise. Dog parks provide a great community setting where residents can gather and socialize while observing the interaction of their pets.” The Town of Oyster Bay currently operates a dog park on the South Shore in Massapequa; however, North Shore dog owners have shared their desire for a closer location to bring their pet. The construction of this new dog park on the north shore will promote responsible dog ownership by offering an alternative to illegally allowing dogs to roam local beaches and parks while reducing dog behavioral problems by providing a safe space to run and exercise. Locating this dog park at Charles Ransom Beach will also benefit the Bayville business district year-round with additional visitors and their pets. Like its South Shore counterpart, the dog park at Ransom Beach will feature separate areas for large and small dogs, helping to provide a safe play area for all pets. Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino stated, “Continuing improvements to our parks and recreational facilities have been a priority for my Town Board colleagues and I, and we graciously thank Senator Marcellino for securing our fair share of State funds to turn this dream of a North Shore dog park into a reality. Our pets are members of our family, and we are thrilled to bring a new dog park to the north shore along with a new playground for local children.” Charles E. Ransom Beach is managed by the Town of See page 22

Every day we make lots of choices and decisions that can impact our health. Some decisions involve what we eat, where we eat, what we drink, how we get to school or work and how we spend our free time. With overweight and obesity affecting so many of our youth today, parents and caregivers need tools to help establish good habits that can have a lasting impact on their family’s health.

Robert Seaman Elementary School Fall Festival On Saturday October 20th, the Robert Seaman PTA hosted its annual Fall Festival. The spirit of fall and fast approaching Halloween was in the air as school staff, students, and families

filled the hallways. Some were even sporting Halloween costumes. Guests of all ages enjoyed the many fun games and delicious snacks. The parents had their own fun pur-

chasing raffle tickets to win many amazing prizes donated by local merchants and Seaman families. The grand prizes were amazing this year: lunch with our Principal, Dr. Sherman; an NBA All-Star Game basketball signed by top NBA rookie players; and tickets to concerts and sporting events!Â Â Many lucky winners took home great prizes. The fundraising event was a success for all. None of this would have been possible

without the school graciously opening its doors and the tireless volunteers that made sure everything went according to plan. A special thanks to the Fall Festival Committee, the PTA, Principal Dr. Ivy Sherman, and all those who volunteered their time to make the fall festival a huge success. It was great to see families and friends spend the day together having fun.

Girl power!

Carnival games were enjoyed by all.

Teachers join the festival fun too!

HOW IT’S BUILT.

Comfortable shoes are part of the good care your feet deserve.

In an average lifetime, a person’s feet will carry them between 150,000 and 20,000 miles. That’s six to eight times around the earth. And for the entire distance, our feet will be our levers, balancers, and shock absorbers. It makes good sense to keep them comfortable and healthy.

YOUR FOOT.

There are twenty-six bones in each foot. They are moved by muscles and tendons and held together by ligaments.

Each foot has thirty-seven complex joints and four arches. The major arch is the long, high one along the inner border of the foot (1). The minor arches are the long, slight arch along the outer border of the foot (2); the metatarsal arch across the ball of the foot (3) and the arch under the foot just behind the instep (4).

HEALTHY FEET.

Joann Hill, creative director at Disney-Hyperion Books, and her team recently visited classes at Jericho High School. Mrs. Millmann, Mrs. Bouler, Ms. Valenza, and Mr. Ciminelli’s students welcomed the team into their classrooms. Ms. Hill and her creative team of designers spoke about the production of book jacket design. She gave a great presentation on the process of book jacket design, from concept to final product. Students from photogra-

phy, English, and journalism classes learned that publishing is a collaborative effort, and the jacket design usually goes through many changes and edits before a final is selected. Students had an opportunity to speak with Ms. Hill and her team after the presentation. She also donated a series of recent titles from the Disney/Hyperion young Adult Library for the students of Jericho High School.

Student sits on Jericho's Board of Education Each year, the Jericho High School Student Council votes for a student to serve as a school board representative in order to provide a student voice for the Jericho Board of Education. This year, Jiaqi Zhang is the school board representative. He sat on the dais with the board during the October meeting on the 18th and offered a report on recent student happenings. Board President Bill Ferro explained that this position was formed last year, and was important in bridging the gap between students and the board. Jiaqi will sit in on three school board meetings this year.

Rails-to-Trails Sojourn on the Delaware-Lehigh Trail: America’s Revolution Comes to Life at Washington Crossing BY KAREN RUBIN TRAVEL FEATURES SYNDICATE GOINGPLACESFARANDNEAR.COM Being here at Washington Crossing State Park on the Pennsylvania shore of the Delaware River, hearing the story of General George Washington crossing icy water on that fateful Christmas night, I realize that all I knew of that scene was the image from the painting so indelibly impressed on every school child’s brain. The actual events are much, much more dramatic, as the 300 Sojourners, cyclists who have come down the Delaware-Lehigh Trail, learn on our guided tour.

This opportunity to tour Washington Crossing Historical Park is built into the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy Sojourn, one of several options for our layover day on the fourth day of the five-day bikingand-camping trip. The Sojourn rides - usually five or six days of supported camping and biking - are typically constructed with a layover day where you get to choose from activities and excursions that exemplify the area or just hang out on your own. Other options include a kayak tour on the Delaware Canal; a visit to the Bowman’s Hill Wildflower Preserve, a tour of the Old Barracks Museum in Trenton, NJ, or just

exploring New Hope, PA on our own to take in attractions, dining and art galleries. I have opted to join the historical tour of both the Upper Park and Lower Park of Washington Crossing Historical Park, Bowman’s Hill Tower, Thompson-Neely House, Soldiers’ Graves, the Village and the Visitor’s Center. I realize I had no clue of just how heroic, indeed, how much of a Mission Impossible this feat was, and how many were involved, nor how significant this relatively small battle of was for the ultimate success of the revolution that founded our nation. The visit to the Washington

Crossing Historical Park starts with an excellent 14-minute video introduction that lays out why Washington said of this desperate mission ““Dire necessity will, nay must, justify the attack.” It was winter of 1776. The Continental Army had suffered terrible defeats on Long Island and New York. Washington was forced to retreat across New Jersey to Pennsylvania on December 7 and 8. The British were on the march to Philadelphia, plundering and ravishing homesteads as they went. They were waiting for the Delaware River to freeze so they could march See page D2

across. That gave Washington some time to regroup. Morale of the American troops was low. The soldiers lacked food and warm clothing, even boots. Washington watched his army shrink due to desertions and expiring enlistments. Now, more than ever, a victory was desperately needed. Washington hatched a daring plan to cross the Delaware River under the cover of darkness, march to Trenton and unleash a surprise attack on the Hessian outposts in and around Trenton. He ordered every boat that could be found to be at the ready. Among the various types of boats gathered, most notable were the large, heavy Durham boats that were used to carry pig iron

down the Delaware. His plan was for a Pincer-style attack, with two divisions attacking from the south of Trenton. We walk into a historic village – and come to McConkey’s Ferry Inn, which was the only building here at the time of Washington’s Crossing – the other buildings were constructed 40 years or more after. Walking through it, it is an amazing feeling to sense Washington sitting here, plotting what could have been a suicide mission, making such decisions. The inn was built on the major thoroughfare between Philadelphia and New York City to accommodate the ferry, one of many along the river. We go into the boathouse – which was built in 1977 to house re-creations of the Durham boats that Washington would have used.

Bowman’s Hill Tower © Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com

These are all re-creations, and smaller (40 feet long) and lighter and more nimble than the ones Washington would have used. By the 1830s, these boats, built to carry cargo, were obsolete – indeed, even in their day, they were often used for one-way trips and discarded. Washington’s boats were 65 feet long, weighing 7,000 pounds, 50 percent heavier that these re-creation. As it is, it takes a day to put four boats in the water for the annual Christmas re-enactment. In Washington’s time, the boats would have been kept in the water, not a boat barn, which was built in the 1950s when they started doing the reenactments. There were no seats in the boats – everyone stood up, but no one was as high up as Washington is depicted in the famous painting. The painting shows 13 people – 12 in the boat and one standing up; for the reenactments, they use 11 crew, four oars each 15 feet long and 50 lbs, with two people per oar at shoulder level. One of the oars is 22 ft, weighing 100 lb,that is used like a rudder to steer the boat. “We do it in one hour. It took 11 hours to transport Washington’s troops during the night, going back and forth.” Once, he recalled, it was snowing heavily during reenactment which was most like the actual conditions. Each boat made five trips both ways, carrying 45 soldiers plus the boat crew (imagine what that would have been like for the boat crews). It took a halfhour or longer for each trip. One man fell off the boat, but was saved. The river was fast, but 45 feet wider than normal, and with ice blocks as big as six feet wide, would come suddenly with speed, joggle the boat and knock it

off course. It was difficult to see. Over the course of the 11 hours, Washington’s 2,400 soldiers were shuttled across. But then, these soldiers, some of whom were dressed in rags and barely had shoes, had to wait for hours as they were pounded by a Nor’easter that set in at 11 pm, for the rest to arrive, and then march 9 miles over mud paths to fight the same Hessian troops who had beaten them five times before. “The odds were not in their favor. It shows the fortitude of the men.” Because surprise was his key weapon, Washington kept the mission a secret until the last minute. “Washington didn’t tell the men the attack was underway until 1 pm. That was not enough time for the men to prepare supplies and march. So a lot of the men were late,” he tells us, standing in front of a map that illustrates the battle plan. Washington assembled his own troops near McConkey’s Ferry in preparation for the crossing. By 6 pm, 2,400 troops had begun crossing the icechoked river. The operation was slow and difficult due to the condition of the river. There was an abrupt change in the weather forcing the men to fight their way through sleet and a blinding snowstorm. These obstacles proved to be too much for the supporting divisions led by colonels Cadwalader and Ewing, ultimately preventing their crossing at southern points along the Delaware. Washington had planned for a Pincer-style attack. He had them synchronize their watches. He had already started sending the men across when he learned that the other two generals were not able to send their men. He decided to continue anyway. In this ferry building, Washington writes to Colonel Cadwalader, “’Dear

Sir. Notwithstanding the discouraging accounts I have received from Colonel Reed of what might be expected from the operations below, I am determined, as the night is favorable, to cross the river and make the attack upon Trenton in the morning. If you can do nothing real, at least create as great a diversion as possible. I am, Sir, your most obedient servant.’”. “Now the weather works to the Americans’ advantage,” our guide relates, standing in front of a battlefield map. “Hessian guards (pickets) are in houses. Washington sneaks through perimeter undetected. But one rogue group launches a raid, which undermines the crucial element of surprise. The Hessian guards run into city to warn the commander, Colonel Johann Gottlieb Riall, but Riall thinks it is just a raid. He musters half to guard two main roads, but doesn’t meet Washington head on. Washington tries to retain initiative.” The First Battle of Trenton takes only an hour. Of the 1,500 Hessians, 100 killed or wounded. Rall is fatally wounded. Washington informed Congress of victory but neglected to mention how many men were lost (the Hessians lost about 100). It was a relatively small battle but the victory elevated the American cause in eye of world. Then, within 10

How to be happy in retirement BY CLAIRE LYNCH Being retired has lots of advantages, such as sleeping as late as I want to, watching TV whenever it suits me, lingering over the newspaper, going to matinée movies at the local theatre whenever I want to and staying up as late at night as long as I wish. I can play rock ‘n roll in the afternoon and boogie in the moonlight if it suits me. When I feel like playing the hits of Diana Ross and the Supremes from the 1960s and 1970s, I just pop their CD into my boom box and crank up the music. “Up the Ladder to the Roof,” “I Hear a Symphony” and “You Can’t Hurry Love” are all favorites. If I feel like meeting friends for lunch or to play a round of miniature golf any day of the week, I do. The same goes for bowling. I welcome a game or two any time. In terms of the timeline, I have been retired for less than a year after working full-time for almost 41 years. That 41 years doesn’t even count my various high school and college jobs. My days always seem to fly by even though I’m not as busy as I was when I was working. Where the time goes I’ll

never know. Several times I’ve gotten a great, big pot of homemade chicken soup going on top of the stove in the middle of the morning and started baking a peach pie from scratch in the middle of the afternoon. Being retired and working part-time has lots of advantages. Being able to work when I want is one definite perk. I still have bosses, I just don’t have as many bosses as I used to have. That’s because I’ve chosen to work part-time since the day I retired. Another perk is being able to take a coffee break pretty much when I want to have some java and if I switch things up away from the hot stuff and drink down an iced cold green smoothie occasionally no one really notices. Staying focused and sharp in retirement is my goal. I don’t want to lose all of the skills and knowledge that I have acquired in over four decades of fulltime work. That’s why I am choosing to work part-time. When it comes to maintaining sharp skills, you either use them or lose them as the old saying goes … Heeding the experts’ advice that many people need to ease into retirement aka their golden years, I made a

deliberate choice to work part-time. It’s good to keep busy, I figure. Tell that to my five siblings and their spouses, my four cousins, my 17 nieces and nephews, and various friends because from everything I hear, they all pretty much think that I am living the life of leisure and watching reruns, taking naps and sitting around eating bon bons all day. That couldn’t be further from the truth. Well I am living a life of leisure after 41 years of running for the L.I.R.R. or driving to work, putting in a full eight hours of work from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. then adding on a couple of extra hours each day for the commute, shopping at department stores to keep my wardrobe as fashionably up-to-date as possible, coming home and then getting a scrumptious dinner ready for my family or ordering takeout, depending on the day, and then cleaning up after dinner, and well, you get the picture. You’ve probably done it yourself. You know the drill. So the word “retired” in my everyday vocabulary is very welcomed. It’s a reward for all of my years of hard work. But my big extended family seems to think that I am bored in my retirement and happy with the status quo which to

them means doing nothing. At a recent family gathering my nephew, Justin, handed me a list of “25 Things to Do When You Retire” and suggested that I look it over. As if I don’t know how to fill my time. They must have read several articles about “how to keep the new retiree busy” because here are some of the things they are suggesting that I do. • Volunteer at a nonprofit center, hospital, school or agency. That’s a nice idea - maybe some day down the road I will do that. Just not yet. • Take road trips to vineyards out in the country. I like the idea of taking road trips but seeing vineyards really isn’t my thing. • Tour historic cities. I have taken official tours of San Francisco and San Diego, Calif., Charleston, S.C., Atlanta, Ga. and other cities and the tour guides were all professional, knowledge able, witty and well versed. I found all four cities fascinating and a small part of me admits that I probably learned more from being on the guided tours than seeing the cities on my own. But I guess I could say that right now I am in the “self-guided tour” frame See page D7

Filing for Social Security Is a Big Deal BY TOM MARGENAU

I have to constantly remind myself that filing for Social Security benefits is a big deal for almost everyone. After all, it’s something you usually do only once in your life. (Although there are some people who might file twice. For example, a woman who applies for retirement benefits in her 60s and then goes back to the Social Security office in her 80s to file for widow’s benefits.) But the point is, it’s a rare and significant occasion for most people. And I have to remind myself of that is because I’m so used to helping people who have plans to apply for benefits. I worked for the Social Security Administration for more than 30 years and have written this column for 20 years. So I have helped literally tens of thousands of people sign up for Social Security. I could do it in my sleep! (Actually, I really do. Believe it or not, instead of dreaming about alluring women or exotic beach locales, I dream about Social Security scenarios all the time.) So there are many elements of Social Security eligibility, or many facets of filing for Social Security benefits, that I just take for granted. And when I get some basic or elementary questions from people, my first instinct is to say, “Duh, the answer is so obvious!” But then I remind myself that for the person asking the question, it is not so elemental at all. Filing for Social Security is a big and new and important part of his or her life and the person just wants to make sure to get it all right. Today’s questions are like that. They are no-brainers to me. But they are important issues to many readers. Q: I am getting close to Social Security age. I am 61. I am so glad I found your column because I am learning so much about Social Security. But where else can I turn to for Social Security help? A: There is an entire government agency, the Social Security Administration, with about 60,000 employees in over 1,300 offices around the country, whose primary job is to help you when it comes to your Social Security questions and issues. Go to their award-winning and easy to navigate website, www.socialsecurity.gov, and you’ll find all kinds of useful information and help. Or call them at 800-772-1213. Q: I will turn 66 in March 2019 and want my benefits to start then. When should I sign up for my Social Security? Some people told me three months ahead of time. Others say six months. A neighbor told me it’s actually best to wait until after my birthday. So what do I do? A: SSA is super efficient when it comes to processing retirement claims. In fact, it usually takes them less than a week to get a claim ready for monthly

payments. Still, I suggest you get the ball rolling about two months ahead of time. You said you turn 66 in March. So file your claim in January or February. You can do so online at www.socialsecurity.gov or by calling SSA at 800-7721213. Q: I am about to sign up for my Social Security and am in a panic. I swear I always had my Social Security card hidden in a safe place in my desk. But now that I need it and went to get it, I can’t find it! I’ve looked everywhere. Do I have to wait to get a replacement card before I can apply for my Social Security benefits? A: You don’t need your Social Security card to apply for Social Security benefits. You just need to know what your Social Security number is, and I’m sure you know that. Q: I’ve had a copy of my birth certificate in a safe deposit box all my adult life. I went to get it because I intend to sign up for Social Security next week. But I’ve noticed the copy is just that -- a photocopy. And my financial planner says that Social Security needs to see an official certified copy. I worry that it might take me a month to get such a copy. What should I do? A: You should go ahead and apply for Social Security benefits as you planned. There is a chance that SSA might not even need your birth certificate. That’s because for many people, they already obtained proof of your birth at the time you signed up for your original Social Security card. But if they do need your birth certificate, they will need to see an official certified copy before they can finish the processing of your claim. So you might want to start the process of getting one. Even if SSA doesn’t need it, you probably will want to have it in your records for future use. Q: I just applied for my Social Security benefits online. One of the questions asked me where I was born. I answered Litchfield, Illinois. It was only later that I looked at my birth certificate and remembered that even though my parents lived in Litchfield and I grew up there, I was actually born in a town up the road, Hillsboro, Illinois. Now I am worried sick that this incorrect answer will mess up my Social Security benefits. What should I do? A: What you should do is stop worrying. Your place of birth has absolutely no bearing on your eligibility for Social Security benefits. You don’t have to do anything about it. On the off chance that someone from Social Security ever contacts you about this, you simply tell them exactly what you told me in your email. Q: I am 66 in December, and that’s when I want my Social Security. But

I know the December check comes in January. So do I tell them I want benefits effective with December or January? A: Don’t worry about the actual month your check arrives. Instead, just think about the first month you

are eligible for benefits -- and that’s December. So tell them you want your benefits effective with December. If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has the answer. Contact him at thomas.margenau@comcast.net. COPYRIGHT 2018 CREATORS.COM

Rails-to-Trails Sojourn on the Delaware-Lehigh Trail: America’s Revolution Comes to Life at Washington Crossing C ontinued from page D5 building was one of several tenant houses the Taylor family constructed to attract artisans to Taylorsville. It served as the home and workshop of a shoemaker, then a cooper, a wheelwright, and finally a carpenter, Abdon Hibbs. A typical two-room over two-room stone structure, it housed a worker, his family, and his apprentice, as well as his shop. Frye House and Blacksmith Shop: Bernard Taylor built the Frye House in 1828 as a tenant property. It housed Taylorsville’s blacksmith and his family, as well as an apprentice. The blacksmith was indispensable, fashioned iron tools and implements essential to work and to family life in the preindustrial era. The current shop was built in 1990. Living-history demonstrations are conducted during special events. Revolutionary War Memorial Cemetery Our afternoon tour begins with a visit to a memorial cemetery where an unknown number of Continental soldiers who died during the December 1776 encampment in Bucks County are buried. Although no Americans were killed during the Crossing and the First Battle of Trenton, these soldiers would have died due to exposure, disease or previous injuries. James Moore, a 24-year-old artillery captain from Alexander Hamilton’s New York company, is the only veteran buried in this plot whose identity is known. Washington Crossing Historic Park, 1112 River Road, Washington Crossing, PA 18977, 215-493-4076, www.

WashingtonCrossingPark.org. Thompson-Neely House & Farmstead I love visiting the Thompson-Neely House, on Bowman’s Hill, just across a road from where we camp at the Washington Crossing State Park, and on the other side of the canal. The house is presently interpreted as it would have been when it served as a temporary regimental army hospital during Washington’s winter campaign of 1776/1777. A young officer from Virginia named James Monroe, who was seriously injured during the First Battle of Trenton, convalesced here (in 1817, he became the fifth president of the United States). William Washington, a distant cousin of the commander-inchief, was also wounded and recovered. But this is where Captain James Moore of the New York Artillery died of camp fever on Christmas day and is buried on the property (in what is now the Soldiers’ Graves area). The Thompson-Neely House, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is an example of vernacular 18th-century architecture. Originally a low, one-room dwelling, it was expanded over time to a two-story, multi-roomed farmhouse reflecting the growth of colonial Pennsylvania’s agricultural economy and the prosperity of the Thompson family, who milled grain into flour for export. Several hundred years ago, the area occupied by the Thompson-Neely House and Farmstead and the nearby mill were inhabited by natives of the Lenni Lenape village of Winnehawcnunick. Around 1684, a runaway indentured servant, John Pidcock, fled his master, took possession of the property and opened a fur trading station there

Memorial to fallen Continental soldiers at Washington Crossing Historic Park. The only one who is identified is James Moore, a 24-year-old artillery captain from Alexander Hamilton’s New York company © Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com around 1701. The next owner of the property, Quaker miller John Simpson, constructed the original central section of this house around 1740, as well as a gristmill along Pidcock Creek. At the time of his death in 1747, Simpson was a prosperous farmer with an interest in a sawmill besides his other holdings. His widow, Hannah, married Scots-Irish miller Robert Thompson in 1748, who beame one of the wealthiest men in Solebury Township by 1761 with the milling and farming businesses. In 1757, owner Robert Thompson built a two-story addition on the west end (away from the river) of the house. Nine years later, Thompson’s daughter, Elizabeth, married her father’s apprentice William Neely, an Irish immigrant, and Thompson added a second story above the old first section. Neely, who was in the militia in 1775 with Washington’s troops, brought the army here to camp. There would have been some 500 Continental army troops camped here (7400 in the area), among them James Monroe (the future president), and William Washington, a cousin to General Washington. Robert Thompson enlarged the house once again by constructing the two-story east wing in 1788 to accommodate the Neely’s growing family. Taller ceilings gave this newest portion a higher roofline than the existing structure. When he died in 1804, Robert Thompson left his large estate to his grandson, Robert Thompson Neely, including the main farmhouse with outbuildings, two mills, a cooper’s shop, and a distillery. Although Robert Thompson Neely continued to expand his family business and real estate holdings, he died in debt in 1848. Succeeding generations of the Neely family continued to own the farmhouse. When the Commonwealth

of Pennsylvania acquired it in 1926, the building had been little changed since the early 19th -century. Once the centerpiece of a working farm and milling complex, the Thompson-Neely House is surrounded by the numerous outbuildings needed for farmlife in the 18th-century, such as the restored smokehouse, chicken coop and privy. Washington Crossing Historic Park’s flock of sheep may be visited at the restored barn. Thompson-Neely Grist Mill The Thompson-Neely grist mill, built in 1875, is actually the third grist mill to be built on the property. The grist mill figured into the prosperity of the families who lived here, first Englishman John Simpson who acquired the property around 1740 and built the first grist and saw mill. After he died, in 1747, the mill passed to his journeyman, Robert Thompson, who married Simpson’s widow, Hannah. The couple farmed and ran the mill at a time when Philadelphia was the largest city in British North America and had a thriving flour market, exporting five million pounds in 1771. By 1782, Thompson had become one of the wealthier men in Solebury Township. William Neely, Thompson’s apprentice, married Thompson’s daughter in 1766, and ran the mill for more than 40 years before his death in 1804. Thompson’s daughter and grandson, Robert T. Neely, inherited the mill. The Thompsons and the Neelys built up an estate that included the grist mill, a saw mill, cooper’s shop, distillery, store, sawyer’s house, miller’s house, and assorted barns and outbuildings on 500 acres of land. The Second Mill, 1829-1873: The Pennsylvania Canal Commission built the Delaware Canal through Neely’s property, along the original creek bed

that powered the mill’s water wheel which put Neely’s mill out of business. He received $8,000 from the state for damages and built a new mill further upstream on the site of the present grist mill. The Third Mill, 1875-1910: Robert’s Neely’s son John owned the mill when it caught fire in August 1873. The mill was rebuilt in the same place and reopened in 1875 and operated until 1910, after being purchased by the State of Pennsylvania. The mill was closed for 50 years, until the state renewed interest in it as a historical site. During the 1970s, the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission carried out archaeological research and restoration of the site. A new water wheel was installed in its original location, and the mill was restored to a state resembling that of a grist mill of the late 1820s. But the mill was again shuttered 20 years later. Restoration work began in late 2016. And after two decades shuttered to the public, the Thompson-Neely Grist Mill’s doors reopened on March 17, 2018, just a

couple of months before we Sojourners arrive. In-depth programming including live demonstrations of the milling process, field trips for area students and a special program for children during the park’s annual Sheep-to-Shawl Day are planned. Bowman’s Hill Tower Bowman’s Hill Tower, we discover on the tour the Sojourn has arranged for us, is just about the only place in Bucks County to get an above-the-trees, bird’s-eye view of the surrounding countryside and Delaware River. The Tower, built between 1929-31 as a Depression-era project, rises 125 feet high atop Bowman’s Hill; on a clear day, you can see 14 miles away. We hike up the 124 steps (an elevator installed during the 1980s restoration can take you up three-quarters of the way, but you would still have to climb the last 23 narrow steps). Soon after the tower’s construction, workers planted 28,300 seedlings in the area to reforest the hill like people thought it would have been in Washington’s time. Some of those seedlings have become today’s towering

trees on Bowman’s Hill. Walking up from the ThompsonNeely House, passed the Bowman’s Hill Wildflower Preserve (so many wonderful, themed trails to explore! Next time!), proves to be quite a hike, because it is about 1.5 miles up on a winding road before you even get to the staircase. During the regular season, a 60-minute walking tour of the Thompson-Neely House and Farmstead and the grist mill is offered daily from 10 am to 4 pm; tickets are $7 or $15 for all park sites (the Historic Village, Bowman’s Hill Tower and the Thompson-Neely House and Mill).

How to be happy in retirement C ontinued from page D3 of mind so if I do take a road trip and check out some historic cities in the U.S., some friends and I will do our research ahead of time, hop in the car and check things out at our own leisurely pace. • Take a battleship tour. There are opportunities in many cities to tour a historic battleship. The USS Intrepid – and the Sea, Air & Space Museum – is located in Manhattan. Several others on the east coast include the USS Constitution in Charlestown, Mass., the USS Wilmington in North Carolina and the USS Yorktown in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina. Obviously they are all steeped in history. Some day I will see them. • Go to my local senior center. Every day. I am glad that my local senior center offers activities for people – games to play, crafts to make, exercises to do, exciting chess matches to watch, billiards to play, etc. Eventually I will check those things out. • Take up a new hobby. I have always been interested in learning to speak French and how to do woodworking. The idea of fishing several times a week and hiking and learning how to be a gourmet cook does pique my interest … but … not right now. • Buy an RV. I like the sound of that one – it would have practically all of the conveniences of home but it would be on wheels – only I can’t begin to

imagine where I would park the vehicle when it’s not being used. I can’t have a 40-foot monstrosity, no matter how attractive, sitting in my driveway. • Start a business. The idea of working part-time in retirement is that I keep busy but don’t have all of the responsibilities of being “the boss,” the “business owner,” the “head honcho.” • Teach at a local community college. That possibility had entered my mind but what I really, really like about working part-time is that I am not as obligated to being where I’m supposed to be at a given time. I like the flexibility of part-time work. • Tour new homes that are now for sale. Looking at the latest models of homes and the latest in home decor is interesting. I have to admit that I have always been fascinated by architecture and home decorating but I’m not in the market right now. For a new house or a new design. • Go on an ElderTrek. Some of the tours go all over the world, including the Arctic and Antarctic, Africa and remote Pacific islands. There are hiking, biking, and boating tours. I had never heard of ElderTreks until I read a magazine article about them recently. That is something to consider. I have always dreamed of seeing the Arctic. It’s filled with polar bears, walruses, whales, seals, birds and lots of glaciers. Sounds appealing. • Take up a new sport. Whenever I see people on the TV or in person snow-

boarding and cross-country skiing it looks like so much fun. The idea is that other people do it. Cold weather sports done outside in 20-degree weather isn’t so appealing to me. I think I’ll just take a large mug of hot chocolate topped off with whipped cream and watch those adventurous people zip along on TV. I could also become an animal foster parent although I don’t know how my three-year-old tuxedo cat, Bette Davis, would like having a dog or another cat in our house. She seems pretty content having the undivided attention of those of us who already live here. And somehow I don’t think that having a dog chasing the cat around the house is a good idea when she already wants to chase the bird we have as a pet. That would make this household of mine a little bit unmanageable. I must state for the record, however, that I wholeheartedly support anyone who wants to be an animal foster parent. Foster parents for animals are desperately needed until a willing person or family comes along. Stepping up my exercise regimen is a good idea. I have tried doing yoga and Pilates in the past and never really gotten the hang of it. A fun fact I learned in retirement is the word “Pilates” is actually someone’s name. Joseph H. Pilates is a German-born fitness instructor. His father was a metal worker and an enthusiastic gymnast and his mother was a naturopath. During the first half of the twen-

tieth century, he developed a system of exercises which were intended to strengthen the human mind and body. Pilates believed that mental and physical health were interrelated. Joseph Pilates was born in 1883 and died in 1967 in New York City at the age of 83. I could try yoga and Pilates again – with a new, open mind – or I could keep doing what I usually do in terms of exercise but I could just increase the amount of exercise I do every day and each week. I would welcome all of these various and somewhat creative suggestions if a) I were bored which I am not and b) if I were a more mature retiree looking for things to do which I am not. I am a young retiree. I keep busy. Catching up with old friends, meeting new people and trying new things are all priorities of mine. Something tells me that these various people making their suggestions are definitely well meaning, well intentioned folks. They have my best interest at heart. Maybe they think that I’m really looking for different things to do. Some day I might actually try one or two of their suggestions but in the meantime I am as happy and as content as can be in retirement. Now I want to curl up on the couch, turn on a good movie that I have been looking forward to – and can someone pass the popcorn this way, please?

Pictured from left: Advisor Rich Cafiero, Student Chair Susanna Hur, guest speaker Courtney Boccio, Student Chair Jordan Rosenberg, advisor Dale Iovine, and Syosset resident Ilene Zelniker. Syosset High School students called for a cure for Cystic Fibrosis on October 9th and 10th. Students made phone calls to community members to request donations for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Approximately 90 students volunteered their time over two nights. After completing a brief training and hearing from a speaker living with cystic fibrosis, students enjoyed a buffet dinner generously donated by local merchants including Frank's Gourmet Pizza and Restaurant, Christina's Epicure, Woodbury Country Deli, Gabby's Gourmet Bagelatessen, Park's Happy Farm, Messina Market, Woodbury Pizza, Butera's, Ben's Deli, and Iavarone Bros. Student Government Chairs Jordan Rosenberg and Susanna Hur organized the event under the direction of Student Government Advisers

Rich Cafiero and Dale Iovine and Syosset resident Ilene Zelniker. “Each time someone gave a contribution, we celebrated and congratulated one another. Everyone had an amazing time,” remarked Jordan and Susanna in a joint statement about the event. About 1,000 new cases of cystic fibrosis are diagnosed each year, a rare genetic disease that causes persistent lung infections and limits the ability to breathe over time. The mission of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is to find a cure for this devastating disease. The fundraiser is ongoing, and students are requesting community members visit www.syosset.passioncff.org to make a donation. Photos courtesy of the Syosset School District

Back to the Hill at Berry Hill School BY GINA JAMES Berry Hill Elementary School’s PTA hosted its first event of the 20182019 school year, The Back to the Hill Picnic. Students had a blast playing games, enjoying the school’s playground and dancing to music. As a special treat, there were airbrush tattoo artists as well as glitter tattoos for anyone interested. Crestwood Day Camp came by with inflatable Gaga ball pits for the children to use, as well as an arts and crafts station. The photo booth was big hit with a custom Berry Hill backdrop and fun props.

Popcorn, cotton candy, and Frozen Sin gourmet ice cream sandwiches all made great snacks. Back to the Hill Co-Chairs Lauren Turkanis, Maria Toscano, and Rachel Delarea gave out custom made Berry Hill PRIDE wristband bracelets and foam fingers to the students. The executive board of the PTA donated a number baskets filled with toys, books, crafts and gift cards which were raffled at the event and raised money for future events. It was a great start to what will be an amazing school year!

THE VIEW FROM HERE

The Politics of Evil Acts BY BOB MORGAN, JR. With less than a week until the midterm elections, it is obviously not surprising that daily news events get politicized, whether appropriate or not. Certainty the evil and tragic events of recent days fit this pattern. The case of the alleged Florida pipe bomb guy (I don’t use the names of people purportedly involved in crimes of this type) is a situation where a political focus is hard to avoid. The individual involved, apparently a fanatical follower of President Trump, decided to send packages appearing to be pipe bombs to political and media opponents of the President. Thankfully, the packages were discovered, the suspect was apprehended quickly and no one was injured. It is not completely clear at this writing if the Florida suspect actually intended the bombs to go off. But even if he did not, his alleged behavior at least amounts to making multiple terroristic threats. He will likely be imprisoned for many years, which is very much as it should be. There is no place in American life for people who at a minimum threaten severe harm to those of a different political view. While the pipe bomb guy and not the President is the party responsible for the mailings, you can at least make some connection between President Trump’s rhetorical level and this crime. In a better world, the President would tweet less, would not call the media the “enemy of the people” and would tone down his constant references to “fake news”. Maybe a lower tone by Mr. Trump might have meant that the accused man would not have been quite as unhinged and might not have decided to send the packages Of course, it would also be helpful if the President’s enemies, for example, did not refer themselves as the “resistance”, a term with a clear anti-Hitler antecedent. The supporter of Bernie Sanders who shot five people (I’m not using his name either), almost killing a Republican Congressman, on a baseball field last year before killing himself was clearly motivated by a stirred up hatred of the President and the GOP, although

the anti-Trump rhetoric was probably not fairly traceable to Mr. Sanders. We could use a little restraint by Mr. Trump’s opponents as well. The politicization of the far more serious incident last week (at least based on results), the shooting of 11 completely innocent worshipers at a synagogue in Pittsburgh, is frankly much more problematic. First, and to be clear, this is a truly horrific crime by an evil perpetrator which, upon the shooter’s conviction, should result in the death penalty. Some have tried to connect Mr. Trump to the Pittsburgh attack as well. David Bernstein, a law professor at George Mason University, has published in Reason magazine a balanced and dispassionate analysis of this subject. Professor Bernstein points out that Mr. Trump has appointed numerous strong opponents of antiSemitism like Ambassador Nikki Haley. He also notes that was no means the first fatal attack on a Jewish facility in recent years. He ticks off a number of incidents, including the shooting of an El Al ticket counter in Los Angeles in 2002, that well preceded Mr. Trump’s entrance on the political scene. He also points out significant flaws in a widely cited Anti-Defamation survey showing an uptick in anti-Semitic incidents in the last two years. Mr. Bernstein does not let President Trump off the hook completely, stating that Mr. Trump’s “conspiratorial mindset inadvertently feeds anti-Semitism”, that Mr. Trump should have unequivocally rejected support from white nationalists during his campaign, and that Mr. Trump was “too narcissistic to apologize when he retweeted from anti-Semitic websites”. Still, Mr. Bernstein “draws the line” at blaming Mr. Trump for the Pittsburgh shootings, unless there is some adequate explanation of the many anti-Semitic incidents before Mr. Trump and of other currents of anti-Semitism on the left and the right. In the professor’s view, reflexively heaping political blame is not always the right answer.

Two charged with endangering children From page 1 that she was dropped off along with several other children by two males in a van. All the children believed they were selling candy and cookies for New York Youth Club. After an investigation, police located a total of children who had been dropped off in the area. Several complained of being cold and unable to get in contact with the two chaperones that

had dropped them off. Officers were able to locate the van and placed the two male occupants into custody without incident. All the children were released to the custody of their family members. Police charged Kavon Thompson, 19, of Rosedale, and Jamainne Hall, 24, of West Hempstead, with eight counts of endangering the welfare of a child.
