ROBBINS LANE CAR WASH

Syosset brothers open dessert shoppe & speakeasy BY GARY SIMEONE

The Robbins Lane 5th graders had a fun, successful and wet day fundraising at the annual car wash on October 14th. Special thank you to the Syosset Fire Department for surprising the children with a firetruck to wash and for supporting the PTA! See page 6.

SHS junior to dance in The Nutcracker

Eglevsky Ballet, Long Island’s premier ballet company and academy presents its annual production of the holiday classic, The Nutcracker, featuring choreography by the company’s executive artistic director, Maurice Brandon Curry and starring Unity Phelan, soloist at New York City Ballet as the “Sugar Plum Fairy” and Jared Angle, principal dancer at New York City Ballet as her “Cavalier”. This year, “Clara” is being portrayed by 16-year old Yumiko Yanagihara of Syosset. Miss Yanagihara is a junior at Syosset High School. Celebrated film and stage actor Chris Comfort will portray Clara’s lovable and mysterious godfather, “Drosselmeyer”. Under the direction of maestro David Bernard, the Massapequa Philharmonic Orchestra will play Tschiakovsky’s magnificent

score. The performances will take place on Saturday, December 16th, at 1pm and and 5pm and Sunday, December 17th at 2 PM at the Tilles Center for the Performing Arts on the campus of Long Island University in Brookville. This new production, which premiered last year, has a number of different elements chosen to dispense with the pas de deux usually performed by the Snow Queen and Snow King. Instead, it will be danced by Yanagihara as “Clara” and the “Nutcracker Prince”, portrayed by Eglevsky Ballet company dancer Greg DeSantis. Curry says, “By doing this, the connection between the two characters is more developed and also gives the opportunity for Clara’s dream to have a more poignant and personal effect on our audiences.”

By day, the storefront location at 294 Main Street in Farmingdale serves as an ice cream and dessert shoppe called Charlotte’s. By night, through a secret passageway down to an underground entrance, the location becomes a speakeasy for people to hang out, smoke, and enjoy an outdoor patio section. Nick and John Devito, two brothers who were raised in Syosset, opened Charlotte’s, who they named after their mother, in 2013. After spending many years in the printing business in Manhattan, the brothers decided it was time for a change and ended up looking for a space to rent on Long Island. They ended up in Farmingdale in a building that offers six apartment rentals, three retail stores, and leased office space. “We wanted to open a business, so we asked around the neighborhood what people would prefer and we got a lot of responses for a new coffee place,” said Nick. “We wanted to add a little more than coffee, so we added dessert items and ice cream and frozen yogurt choices to the menu.” He said the brothers felt Charlotte’s was a perfect complement to the surrounding businesses because it offered people a place to go for dessert after they had dinner at nearby restaurants. It was by happenstance that the brothers discovered the old speakeasy in the basement of the building six months ago. “We were refurbishing the downstairs area and happened to come upon this old speakeasy that supposedly had been in existence since the 1920’s. It was truly an incredible find,” said Nick. The speakeasy was in a state of disrepair, but still had some of its original parts in place including an untouched tin ceiling and wall covering. There were also ten wooden posts that were standing to support the ceiling. Devito said that they were able to salvage the tin wall covering and placed it in the entrance area. The original tin ceiling was taken down and transferred to the bathroom. The ten posts were also taken down and were reinforced with steel beams. “All of the wooden posts were used on the bartop. We made sure to repurpose and reuse all of the original stuff that was down there.” He said one of the coolest things about the speakeasy is that there is a secret entrance through a bookcase on the first floor that leads down into the location. There is also an escape route in the downstairs area with original tin wall covering that leads out into an adjacent parking lot in the building. “The route must have been built as a way for people to get out in case the cops showed up because in that time speakeasies were illegal.” The two brothers make a habit of giving tours of the building and speaking about the history of the location. “It’s kind of a fun thing for the kids,” said Nick. “We’ve had girl scout tours come through and recently hosted a Farmingdale Middle School class.”

landscapes, still-life arrangements by a window, rusty/worn artifacts, and everyday images that are part of daily life on a small country farm or tell a story of a simpler time. For the past 36 years, he has worked primarily in watercolors. Scott was greatly influenced by the works of Andrew and Jamie Wyeth. Visiting the Wyeth Center and the Olsen Farm, the site for Andrew’s painting Christina’s World as well as the site of Andrew Wyeth’s final resting place was a life changing experience for him.

Student council members from South Woods Middle School in Syosset recently welcomed FDNY firefighters Christopher Berke and Giovanni Martinez, who stopped by the school to pick up hurricane relief supplies collected by the students during a recent drive. The supplies are being donated

to the New York City Mayor’s Fund in support of those affected by Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria in Houston, Florida, the Caribbean, and Puerto Rico, respectively. Sixth, seventh, and eighth-graders at South Woods were each given an assignment by the school’s student council

during the supply drive. Sixth-graders were asked to bring in baby supplies, while seventh and eighth-graders collected first aid supplies and batteries, respectively. Once again, South Woods students and staff rose to the occasion and remained true to the school’s ongoing

pledge to help others in need through its South Woods CARES initiative of showing compassion, awareness, respect, empathy and service.

Syosset High School photographers unveil Faces of Syosset

Village School shows its sweet side

Chrysoula Highland and some of her photography students are congratulated by Syosset High School Principal Dr. Giovanni Durante for their work on the Faces of Syosset photo collection, seen in the background. Students enrolled in Chrysoula Highland’s Photo 2 and Photo 3 classes at Syosset High School have collaborated on a special collection of photos that show the school’s diversity of race, religion and personality. Faces of Syosset, a mural currently comprised of 150 photos of students and staff taken throughout the school, is now prominently on display in the main lobby area. The photos were taken by photography students in these classes, inspired by the Humans of New York photo blog and book that features street portraits and interviews collected on the streets of New York City by creator Brandon Stanton. “The whole idea was to show how much unity there is in our school,” said Highland, who originally proposed the project as an extra credit assignment. “I wanted my students to stop… look around and look at the people who are in our building every day.” Highland’s students took to the idea right away and have been making connections to others they didn’t know before. “It’s

really been bringing people together!” she added. The project has created a buzz among students. Many are taking notice of their photos and striking up conversations with classmates. New friends have been made, social networks have grown and the photographers have an additional platform to share their creativity. Candids, fun poses, and causal headshots provide a variety of insights into the students and staff of Syosset High School. More photos are being added and a few light questions and answers are also accompanying some of the newer photo additions to provide even greater insight into the students on display. There are also plans to invite Stanton to the school to see the mural and hopefully speak with students about his own inspiration that helped to launch this wonderful display of diversity and unity in Syosset.

Village Elementary School students sort candy for distribution to local agencies that support children who were unable to go trick-or-treating due to life circumstance or illness. For more than 10 years, the students of Village Elementary School in Syosset have been donating their leftover, unopened Halloween candy to numerous charitable organizations to benefit children who are less fortunate. Student council members helped to organize this year’s Operation Sweet Tooth event in the school gymnasium, sorting candy for distribution to local agencies that support children who are unable to enjoy the activities of Halloween due to life circumstances or illness. Ten barrels were filled with the candy provided by the very generous Village children and their families, and they have since been distributed to organizations such as AHRC, Angela’s House and Mercy First. For the second consecutive year, primary grade

students joined in the effort, working together to help sort candy with their upper-grade book buddies. Village students who were unable to participate in the sort, due to their own allergies or choice, made beautiful cards to accompany the treasure trove of candy. As part of Operation Sweet Tooth, students participate in mathematical sorting, counting, grouping, and graphing activities and estimate the amounts of candy collected. Special thanks to Eileen Hoffman and Wendy Tepper for organizing the activity and the Village School PTA’s Community Outreach committee for helping to distribute the candy.

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas: Holidays in New York, Most Enchanting Time of the Year

By Karen Rubin New York City’s most magical time of the year, the winter holiday season, is already underway with the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, continues with the iconic Christmas Tree lighting ceremony at Rockefeller Center, and constantly delights with festivals, special events and attractions, and all the dazzle of holiday decorations right through New Year’s Day. Throughout the season, each of the city’s five boroughs welcome multicultural guests to participate in local observances of diverse holidays. Secular activities include unforgettable department store windows, artisanal markets to explore, plus attractions and cultural draws. The season concludes by welcoming in the New Year with lesser-known fireworks at Prospect Park in Brooklyn and, of course, the unforgettable New Year’s Eve ball drop in Times Square. “New York City is a sight to behold during the festive annual holiday season—it’s a time of year when world-class hotels, attractions and shops sparkle and shine brighter, offering six million global visitors a truly memorable travel experience,” said Fred See page D2

Holiday favorite ELF The Musical is in performance at the Theater at Madison Square Garden for a limited engagement. Back by popular demand, the production runs December 13–29 (theateratmsg.com). The Metropolitan Opera presents a family-friendly holiday extravaganza, The Magic Flute. Directed by Julie Taymor (The Lion King), the abridged English language presentation is a great introduction to opera for children. Additionally, those attending the December 29 and 30 performances will be invited to participate in activities, including opera-themed “dress-up” and “showand-tell” (metopera.org). The Metropolitan Museum of Art once again lights a 20-foot blue spruce above an 18th-century Neapolitan nativity scene, in the museum’s Medieval Sculpture Hall. The Exhibit of the Crèche is a longstanding holiday highlight for New Yorkers and global visitors and is available to view November 21–January 7 (metmuseum.org).

The Rink at Brookfield Place opens November 1 (gpice.com). The New York City Ballet presents George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker, one of the most beloved and anticipated holiday classics, November 24–December 31 at Lincoln Center (nycballet.com).

Besides Bryant Park, there are holiday markets at Union Square, Columbus Circle, and Grand Central Terminal. Central Park is magical in any season, but particularly for the holidays. In addition to the Wollman Rink (wollmanskatingrink.com), there is The Swedish Cottage, an enchanting place that is home to one of the last public marionette companies in the country. The cottage was originally constructed as a model pre-fabricated schoolhouse, and became Sweden’s entry in the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia. After the exhibit, Central Park’s co-designer Frederick Law Olmsted had it placed in Central Park, where it has been headquarters

From comedies to dramas, old favorites and new, there are so many choices that there’s something for everyone throughout the Thanksgiving and holiday weeks.” During Thanksgiving week, some shows will play on Thanksgiving Day, and many will play Friday matinees.

Y O U R S O C I A L S E C U R I T Y

More Questions From Divorced Women BY TOM MARGENAU

Just two weeks ago, I wrote a column answering questions from divorced women. Obviously, I left a lot of questions unanswered because my email inbox has been flooded with inquiries about Social Security benefits for divorcees. Q: I am about to turn 70. When I was 66, I filed for wife’s benefits on my ex-husband’s Social Security record. Someone told me that I must sign up for my own Social Security when I reach 70. This can’t be right. I am getting $1,270 on my husband’s account. I worked just barely over 10 years early in my life and the last time I checked, my own Social Security check was about $110. Why should I sign up for my own Social Security when it is so much less? A: My hunch is you are already getting your own retirement benefits and don’t know it. When you were 66 and thought you were applying for just divorced wife’s benefits, I will bet they actually had you file for both your own and your husband’s Social Security benefits. The rules generally say that you must apply for your own benefits first and then at the same time, file for any spousal benefits you are due. In other words, I think you are getting $110 from your own Social Security account and then another $1,160 off your husband’s record to take you up to the $1,270 rate you are getting. You can check this out by looking at your Medicare card. If it has your Social Security number on it followed by the letter “A,” that means you are getting Social Security retirement benefits. If your Medicare card has your husband’s number with the code “B6” behind it, that means you are getting just divorced wife’s benefits. And if for some strange reason you are getting just spousal benefits, there is no need for you to file for your own Social Security at age 70. Q: My ex-wife wants me to give her my Social Security number so that she can file for spousal benefits on my record. Do I have to do this? A: There is no law that requires you to tell your ex what your Social Security number is. But why not be a nice guy and give it to her? I suggest that for two reasons. First, even if you don’t give it to her, the Social Security people are going to be able to find it in their records. And second, if she does qualify for benefits, it doesn’t take a nickel away from your Social Security checks. And if you remarried, it doesn’t take any money away from what your current wife might be due. Or to put that another way, benefits paid to ex-spouses are just add-on benefits. Q: I am about to turn 66 and I did something stupid 29 years ago that may really have messed me up

now that I’m older. That’s when I got a divorce from my ex-husband. He was a rich man and hired the best lawyer money could buy. They added a clause to the divorce decree that essentially said I could never claim any benefits off my husband’s Social Security account. I was 37 at the time, and Social Security was the farthest thing from my mind. And I don’t want to go into too many of the messy details, but my husband was a philandering and abusive fool and I just wanted to get rid of him. So I signed the papers. Now that I’m 66, I want to apply for Social Security while I keep working. My own benefit is about $1,450. I don’t know what he is getting, but he always had a six-figure income, so I’m sure he is getting a very high Social Security check. He is 72 years old. He is married to his fourth wife. Is there anything I can do? A: I’ve got several bits of good news for you. The first is that the clause in the divorce decree barring you from collecting your husband’s Social Security is about as worthless as the paper it’s printed on. Federal law says that you are due divorced wife’s benefits, and nothing a lawyer (even “the best lawyer money could buy”) scribbles into your divorce decree can override that. The second bit of good news is that you are going to be able to pull off a benefit maximizing trick I’ve discussed many times in this column. At age 66, you should file for divorced wife’s benefits. Let’s say he is getting something near the maximum Social Security rate -- about $2,700. So your share of that would be $1,350. Tell the Social Security clerk you want to “restrict the scope of your application” to wife’s benefits only. You’ll start getting the $1,350 per month. And then at age 70, you can switch to 132 percent of your own retirement benefits. Sounds like that will be a little over $1,900 monthly. And then there is a third bit of potential good news. I suppose we don’t really want to wish that “philandering and abusive fool” any ill will, but if he were to get hit by a bus, you hit the jackpot. Or to put that a bit more delicately, when he dies, you will start getting $2,700 per month in divorced widow’s benefits. Q: You said a woman must be married 10 years to qualify for benefits as a divorced wife off her ex-husband’s account. I got married June 28, 1989 and got divorced June 22, 1999. Does that count as 10 years? Or am I six days short? A: Darn! The law says your marriage must reach its 10th anniversary to meet the eligibility requirement for divorced wife’s benefits. So you do come up six days short of that mark. Over the years, I’ve heard from hundreds of women just like you. I totally

understand that when you are going through the trials and tribulations of a divorce, especially when you are younger, Social Security is the farthest thing from your mind. But let this be a warning to those of you whose marriage is on the rocks. If you are anywhere near the 10-year mark when you start talking to

lawyers, just stretch things out as long as you can to make sure you pass that 10th anniversary. If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has the answer. Contact him at thomas.margenau@comcast.net. COPYRIGHT 2017 CREATORS.COM

‘Fool The Eye’ at Nassau County Museum of Art Explores Artists’ Techniques of Illusion BY KAREN RUBIN

You walk into the Nassau County Museum of Art, housed in the stunning mansion built for Childs Frick in 1919, the scion of Henry Clay Frick, and are confronted by a guard, hands crossed in front of his chest. You do a doubletake – it takes a bit of questioning in your own mind what you are seeing to realize the guy isn’t moving, isn’t even breathing. In fact, it is a sculpture, so

artists’ palette. You see a re-creation of a portion of the famous Van Gogh self-portrait with all the vibrant color and exciting brushstrokes, only to realize that David Mach created “Blue Weave” (2013) as a postcard collage out of individual strips. Similarly, a vibrant, richly textured portrait, “Blue Hair” by Federico Uribe (2014) is a collage made entirely of small colored pencils, and Chuck Close’s “Self

This is just the first of an entire exhibition devoted to art that literally “fools the eye.” One could argue that all art fools the eye – you are, after all, taking a living, changing, three-dimensional (even four-dimensional) subject and using manufactured materials and constructions converting it to two- or three-dimensions, in an assimilation or approximation of what is lives in a moment in time. But these artists, gathered together in the “Fool the Eye” exhibit now on view at NCMA, employ fascinating techniques that keep you guessing as you walk from gallery to gallery: Is it a flat surface or a sculpture? Is it a photograph or a painting? Is it made of wood or bronze, rubber or steel? Is it real or faux? The works on view date back to 1870 (“A Canvas Back” by William Davis), to as recently as a weeks ago (Ben Schonzeit’s “The Fantasticks”) showing that these artistic devices of fooling the eye are well entrenched in

‘Fool The Eye’ at Nassau County Museum of Art Explores Artists’ Techniques of Illusion C ontinued from page D5

is a painting (“Gold Marilyn” by Otto Duecker); similarly, Dueker has made such a painting of a Frank Sinatra “photo.” “Drowning Girl Secret Hearts Vol. 1, No. 83,” is Sharon Moody’s oil painting that you are convinced is an actual comic book appended to a board. Then there are the hypnotic geometric abstractions, like Victor Vasarelly’s “TITOK-L” (1972). Fool the Eye, on view at Nassau County Museum of Art’s Saltzman Fine Arts Building through March 4, 2018, challenges you to experience the wonder of masterful artistic techniques. This exhibition includes examples of traditional trompe l’oeil (meticulously painted, hyper-real images) and a wide range of other approaches to illusion. See largerthan-life oversized objects, hypnotic

geometric abstractions, sculptures made of unexpected materials, images with mind-bending impossibilities and fine art so seemingly realistic, they are (nearly) indistinguishable from real things. The magic will provoke debates in every gallery about reality and deception. There is the shocking sense that a work of art is “following you” – changing as you move slightly and change your angle of view. Disorienting. Jarring. Creepy even. That’s the case with Patrick Hughes’ “Living Library” (2017), and two stacked Brillo boxes, Patrick Hughes’ oil on board construction homage to Andy Warhol, “Warholly,” 2008). Most of the time, though, you come away with a sense of amusement, realizing you’ve been played. Artists throughout the ages have been intrigued by perceptual illusions,

devising visual tricks to manipulate the perception of space, incorporating spatial illusion as an aspect of their art. Featured in this exhibition are 20th- and 21st-century artists whose work has explored illusion, including Salvador Dali, Janet Fish, Audrey Flack, Jasper Johns, Judith Leiber, Roy Lichtenstein, Vik Muniz, Ben Schoenzeit, and Victor Vasarely. “Fool the Eye” is guest-curated by Franklin Hill Perrell with Debbie Wells whose previous collaborations for the Museum have included Feast for the Eyes (July 2016), The Moderns: Long Island Collects (July 2015) and Garden Party (March 2014). “This show is the work of a superstar curator,” Charles A. Riley II, NCMA’s Director, said. “One thing that brings it all together: when an artist guides you in how to see... How artists create the illusion of life. Is it real or isn’t it? Is it or isn’t it? That question prevails through the whole show...There is a vitality.” “All the art has to come from some place, someone has to arrange,” Perrell tells the gathering at the opening reception on November 17. “No other museum scurries around country convincing people to give up things they don’t want to give up- then have to get it here.” Perrell rattles off a long list of nearly 60 galleries and private collections where the works have come, including NCMA trustee Dr. Harvey Manes who loaned five works including two Salvador Dalis and a Roy Lichtenstein. One of the works – Ben Schoenzeit’s “The Fantasticks” – was painted specifically for the show, as I learn (one of the best things about an opening

reception is that some of the artists show up). “I was just finishing a piece when Franklin came to my studio in Soho and wanted a painting not yet finished,” says Schoenzeit, who has been featured often at NCMA. “I didn’t know how to finish it. I knew [the show’s theme] was tromp d’oeil, so I painted this with this show in mind.” He says it took a month to make “The Fantasticks” (in between other projects), which is based on a collage. “It’s funny – it came out funny,” he says, using the word “they” to describe his paintings. “They surprise me...I don’t have a finished concept when I start. They tell me. These things come to me.” How do you know when it’s done? “When it walks away. When I have nothing more to say. When adding more makes it worse, or the idea you add doesn’t fit,” Schoenzeit says. He steps back from the over-sized canvas. “I like to see it out of the studio, how it feels in real world, rather than in the chaos of my loft.” Why “The Fantasticks?” “This was a long-running show in Greenwich Village [which he saw more than 30 years ago]. At the end, they threw colored tissue paper squares into the audience. I picked [some] up and put them in a collage. The paper is the envelope that I wrote ‘The Fantasticks’ on: There are other references in the painting (acrylic on linen): a stage, curtain.

Dr. Riley’s next book, a study of Rodin in Chinese and English, will be published by the Chimei Museum in fall 2017. The next exhibit to open is “The Jazz Age: Picasso, Matisse, Chanel, Gerwin, Joyce, Fitzgerald and Hemingway” (March 17-July 8, 2018), based on Riley’s book, “Free as Gods.” _______________________ © 2017 Travel Features Syndicate, a division of Workstyles, Inc.

Local runners score in Blue Ribbon 5K for Prostate Cancer

The view from the start Congratulations to Brian Quinn of Syosset, Jennifer Deleonardis of Woodbury, Angelo Cione of Woodbury, Pamela Lee of Syosset and Bert Jablon of Syosset, all of whom won awards in the Blue Ribbon 5 Kilometer Run for Prostate Cancer, held on the grounds of the Old Bethpage Village Restoration on Sunday morning, November 12th. Bradley Quinn of Syosset earned the third place award in the 20-24 age group, crossing the finish line in 23 minutes, 49 seconds. Jennifer Deleonardis of Woodbury, captured 2nd place honors in the women’s 45-49 age group with a finishing time of 27 minutes, 2 seconds.

Angelo Cione crossed the finish line in 28 minutes, 37 seconds to win the second place award in the men’s 45-49 age group.Pamela Lee too home the third place award in the women’s 60-64 age group, crossing the finish line in 27 minutes, 6 seconds. The seemingly ageless Bert Jablon of syosset took first place honors in the 90 plus age group, crossing the finish line in 47 minutes, 9 seconds. The field of 275 finishers inaugurated a new course at the Old Bethpage Village Restoration, almost entirely within the grounds of the Village itself, and eliminating the traditional double

out-and-back stretch in the driveway leading into the Village grounds. In addition to all the usual race perks, there were free on-site prostate cancer screenings available for all men age 40 plus, and quite a few folks took advantage of the opportunity. All in all, a great morning, with lots of much needed funds raised for Integrated Medical Foundation and its efforts to promote prostate cancer awareness, education and support. It is the goal of Integrated Medical Foundation to bring widespread attention and awareness to prostate cancer. As Run Grand Marshal Curtis Sliwa emphasized to the run-

ners at the post-Run Awards Ceremony, “Early detection Saves Lives!” Thanks and congratulations go to IMF Executive Director Rhonda Samuel , and to the staff and volunteers from the Greater Long Island Running Club who . Special thanks to major sponsors Advanced Urology Centers of New York, Advanced Radiation Centers of New York, JP Morgan Chase & Co. Special thanks as well to the refreshments sponsors: All Round Foods (thank you Glen Wolther!), Apple & Eve and Bagel Boss Café of East Norwich.

The health benefits of grandparent-grandchild relationships

In the not-so-distant past, extended families were the norm, with multiple generations residing on the same street if not in the same house. Today the family unit is largely an amalgam of different situations. The rise of two-income families has pressured parents into finding childcare situations. Quite often grandparents once again step in to offer guidance and support for youngsters. This can be a good thing for both the grandparents and the grandchildren. Although a bevy of psychological research focuses on parent-child relationships, new evidence points to the benefits of the grandchild-grandparent relationship as well. Close relationships between these different demographics is often a sign of strong familial ties. A study from researchers at Boston College discovered that emotionally close ties between grandparents and adult grandchildren reduced depressive symptoms in both groups. Research at the University of Oxford among English children between the ages 11 and 16 found that close grandparent-grandchild relationships were associated with benefits including fewer emotional and behavioral problems and fewer difficulties with peers. Adult and grandchildren alike benefit from relationships with their elders. Grandparents can provide a connection and exposure to different ideas while providing a link to family history and knowledge re-

garding traditions and customs not readily available elsewhere. Nurturing grandparent-grandchild experiences may be easy for families where grandparents live in the same house or close by. For others, it may take some effort. The following are some ways to facilitate

time spent together. • Schedule regular family reunions or get-togethers. Host or plan multi-generation events that bring the family together and expose children to various members of their family. • Promote one-on-one time. Have grandchildren spend time with grandparents in intimate settings. Alone time can be good for both and offers each undivided attention. A meal at a restaurant or time spent doing a puzzle or craft can be interesting to both generations involved. • Video chat when possible. If distance makes frequent visits challenging, use technology to bridge that gap. Send photos, letters and electronic communications. Tech-savvy grandparents can use Skype or Facetime to stay in touch and speak one-on-one with their grandchildren. • Share skills with each other. Either generation can play teacher to the other. Grandparents may have certain skills, such as baking, sewing or wood crafts, they can impart that may not be readily taught today. Children can help grandparents navigate computers, video games or sports activities. Grandchildren can help grandparents feel younger, and grandchildren can learn new experiences from their grandparents.

There will once again be special prizes for the best holiday costume and for the first “centipede” to cross the finish line.

There will, of course, be a free Fun Run for the youngsters on the grounds of the Middle School before the 5K main event. The post-race festivities will once again include a door prize drawing that will be highlighted by the grand prize of a flat screen high definition TV and a second prize of a top-of-the-line digital camera. Everyone who is entered in the Run has an equal chance to win a prize. Please note that the Greater Long Island Running Club policy of offering a 50% discount for preregistered 5K runners age 16 and under will be continued for this event.
