FALL FESTIVAL

Joseph Saladino elected to Town Supervisor position BY GARY SIMEONE

The Robert Seaman PTA recently hosted its annual Fall Festival. Guests of all ages enjoyed the many fun games and delicious snacks. The fundraising event was a success for all. There were so many happy faces up and down the hallways and it was great to see families and friends spend the day together having fun. See pages 14-15

In a heated race for the Oyster Bay Town Supervisor position, GOP candidate, Joe Saladino beat Democratic challenger, Marc Herman and two other candidates in last Tuesday night’s election. Saladino was originally appointed to the position in January, taking the place of longtime GOP Supervisor, John Venditto, who was indicted on federal corruption charges. Saladino was challenged by four different opponents for the position, including Herman, Bayville resident, John Mangelli, who ran on the Reform line, Jonathan Clarke, an attorney who ran on the Progressive line and Robert Ripp who ran on the End Corruption line. There was a lot of back and forth mudslinging between the candidates during the election, particularly from Herman who sought to change the corrupt culture within the Town government. There was also talk of independent party spoilers who would put a dent in the election process but that did not end up happening. Saladino said he is happy to be past all of that and has a number of initiatives he is focused on as the Town Supervisor.

“Some of the things I will be focused on include the Grumman Navy plume situation, the revitalization project in downtown Hicksville and environmental initiatives such as our new single stream recycling program,” said Saladino. He said that he plans to quickly address issues such as cutting a significant portion of the Town’s debt, working on ethics reform and moved on hiring an inspector general to review Town contracts, standardize procurement and make recommendations to Town Board officials. “I am looking forward to representing all of our residents from the north shore to the south shore,” said Saladino. Plainview resident, Louis Imbroto was elected as Town councilman after having been appointed to the position in March. Michele Johnson was re-elected as Town councilwoman and Massapequa Park resident, Thomas Hand was elected as councilman. “The voters of the Town of Oyster Bay want to see fiscal responsibility and preserving their suburban quality of life,” said Imbroto. “That’s what we ran on and were victorious on and we can’t wait to get back to work representing our Town residents.”

Local organization donates to needy families BY GARY SIMEONE People were getting into the spirit of the Thanksgiving holiday last Friday as volunteers came together to donate food baskets to needy families. Members of the UJA (United Jewish Appeals) Federation in Syosset packed and personally delivered Thanksgiving baskets to families in need, homebound seniors and veterans as part of their Families Helping

Families event. Over 200 volunteers including adults and children showed up at ten in the morning to create and pack 120 Thanksgiving baskets. The baskets included everything that is needed in a Thanksgiving meal such as cranberry sauce, canned vegetables, stuffing, cookies and roasting pans. A $25 gift card was also included to help families purchase a fresh turkey to complete the meal.

“We want to make sure that people in need of being serviced have food on the table, that the kids feel cared for, seniors feel cared for and we can do this with UJA and all of our volunteers,” said Orna Sheena, Senior Director at the UJA Federation of NY. Sheena said the organization’s hope is that the baskets can bring people joy and a little bit of holiday cheer despite any hardships they may be going through.

Other local agencies involved in the event included the Mid Island Y Jewish Community Center, Sid Jacobson Jewish Community Center, Suffolk Y JCC and the Food Pantry at the Marion and Aaron Gural Jewish Community Center. The UJA Federation is a non-profit organization that is one of the world’s leading local philanthropies.

North Shore Synagogue congregants unrolled the entire Torah scroll as part of a Simchat Torah celebration that included dancing, eating and fun. BY SCOTT FISHER North Shore Synagogue celebrated the joyous holiday of Simchat Torah with a consecration service, rousing Klezmer music, dancing, and flag waving. Religious School children new to the temple were invited to receive special blessings. The holiday of Simchat Torah, literally rejoicing in the Torah, marks the conclusion of the annual cycle of Torah readings and the immediate beginning of a new cycle, representing a continuous unbroken circle that binds forever the Jewish people to our Torah. Congregants are encouraged to take hold of a Torah and dance with the scroll in jubilant celebration and pass it along to another celebrant. After the singing and dancing subsided, a large circle of participants was formed and one of the scrolls was completely unwound and held by congregants. Rabbi Jaimee Shalhevet, Rabbi Rachel Maimin and Cantor Kyle Cotler marked the position of the various stories read

throughout the year. Post-bat mitzvah teens Hannah Mink, Kayla Kessler, Beryl Rosenberg, and Sari Arrow were very impressive as they beautifully read part of their respective Torah portions for the assembly. Rabbi Maimin read the final portion of the weekly scripture from the Torah at the end of the book of Deuteronomy, followed immediately by a reading by Cantor Cotler from the first chapter of the book of Genesis. The congregation moved to the Youth Lounge to share platters of pastries, cookies, ice cream and fruit. Rabbi Shalhevet commented that “it is always a special delight for me to see so many happy new faces both on the children and their parents participating in a wonderful community event together.” North Shore Synagogue is a Reform Jewish Congregation and member of the Union for Reform Judaism.

Oyster Bay Town Councilman Thomas Hand reminds residents that the deadline for building permit amnesty – designed to allow residents the time to obtain the necessary permits required on building improvements previously done to their homes without incurring stringent penalties – will end on December 31, 2017. Councilman Hand stated, “There are six weeks remaining for residents with existing, unpermitted home improvements to legitimize their projects without penalty by following the application and inspection procedure. All homeowners are eligible, including landlords of residential rental properties at the standard fee rate.” The Town amnesty program addresses both public safety concerns and homeowner convenience. The Town requires building permits on home improvements as work needs to done in accordance to standards and codes. These standards ensure that construc-

tion on your home meets workmanship and safety requirements. The building permit process is not the time to cut corners. Quality workmanship that meets legal building codes is a wise investment, creates peace of mind and ultimately saves time and money down the road. This will be especially important when a resident needs to sell or refinance their home and they do not have the proper approvals. To begin the process for a building permit, residents can call the Town of Oyster Bay’s Department of Planning and Development’s Building Division at (516) 624-6200, where residents will be directed through the process. Residents may also visit the Building Department at Town Hall North in Oyster Bay (74 Audrey Avenue) or its newly designated satellite office at Town Hall South in Massapequa (977 Hicksville Road). The new location makes it equally convenient for both north and south shore residents.

Getting ready for Carnegie Hall

After a lot of practice, practice, practice... – Nassau BOCES Long Island High School for the Arts (LIHSA) music student Marissa Ready, from Syosset, will find herself performing at Carnegie Hall in February. It’s part of the 2018 High School Honors Performance Series under the direction of renowned conductor, Dr. Jeffery Redding. This is the third time Marissa has been accepted to perform in the series The high school junior is also the Treasurer of LIHSA’s Tri-M Music Honor Society. The performance is on Sunday February 4, 2018 at 2PM at Carnegie Hall’s Stern Auditorium.

Jericho HS students explain research to MS science class The Lexus Eco Challenge is a science research competition encouraging students to explore an environmental concern and then design and implement a plan to help remediate the issue. The student team, consisting of Sarah Siddiqui, Rachelle Lee, Rishika Nahata, Riya Patel, Sanjana Shanmugavel, and Christy Wei, visited Doug Kahn’s middle school science classes recently to explain their project. “We explored the topic of de-algeanating our Long Island waters turning the algae into organic fertilizer,” the students explained. “Excess algae harms aquatic ecosystems because it blocks sunlight, preventing photosynthesis. We took algae from local ponds and mixed it with carbon and nitrogen-rich materials in order to produce our very own organic fertilizer. We then sold it to our community and raised awareness about this serious issue. We also educated younger kids in the middle school to inspire them to follow in our footsteps, to take on this challenge and help solve a problem to better our environment.”

Sarah Siddiqui and Rishika Nahata smile after their presentation to Mr. Kahn’s class.

For John Elliott, sailing is living. He’s been on the water for most of his 91 years. In all three theaters during World War 2, as a merchant seaman, and for the last 70 years sailing out of the Rockaway Point Yacht Club. But recently John was so fatigued and short of breath, he could only walk a few steps. His aortic valve was failing. A condition that could lead to heart failure, and death. His daughter, a nurse, told John about a minimally invasive valve replacement procedure called TAVR, or Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement. She took him to one of the country’s leaders in TAVR: NYU Winthrop Hospital. They replaced John’s valve through an artery in his leg. In no time at all, he was back to sailing off Breezy Point. If you suffer from aortic stenosis, you may now be a candidate for TAVR. To learn more, call 1-866-WINTHROP or visit nyuwinthrop.org.

Woodbury student named Siemens Semifinalist

Friends Academy junior Danielle Kelluy of Woodbury Junior Danielle Kelly of Woodbury has been selected as a 2017 semifinalist in the Siemens Competition in Math, Science & Technology. Kelly joins 55 other students chosen across Long Island this year. During the summer of 2017, Danielle researched hydrogen fuel cells, a cutting-edge, renewable energy source. “With inputs of oxygen and hydrogen gas, fuel cells can produce substantial amounts of energy with water as its only byproduct,” explained Kelly. “Hydrogen fuel cells are preferable not only to fossil fuels, which pollute the atmosphere with greenhouse gases, but also to solar and wind power, as fuel cells operate regardless of inconsistent environmental conditions,” she added. In her research, Danielle incorporated variations of a substance called graphene oxide into the elements of the fuel cells. Graphene oxide, a monomolecular carbon lattice with various functional groups, has been studied in the context of many applications across scientific fields due to its excellent electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties. “I analyzed the potential of graphene oxide to enhance several aspects of the fuel cells’ performance,” said Kelly. “By applying graphene oxide to the fuel cells using a novel spraying method, I achieved a power output over

double that of the non-modified fuel cells.” Always interested in science, Danielle gravitated toward the social implications. “Science can help explain the world around us and provide us with an opportunity to make significant advancements to society,” she shared. “Materials science impacts every aspect of our everyday lives, from the clothes we wear to the medications we consume,” she added. Throughout her research, Danielle overcame obstacles. “By far, my biggest surprise while conducting research was the sheer amount of time it takes! I began my project thinking that with over 8 weeks to work, I would finish with time to spare. However, every task, from preparing solutions to organizing data, took longer than expected. To guarantee accurate results, it is imperative to pay attention to every detail,” she recalled. “The most challenging part of research is dealing with the unexpected. Mistakes happen. Maybe you drop a sample, nullifying your results. Maybe you get results that contradict your original hypothesis—this happened to me multiple times, and I had to adapt my project accordingly. It can be frustrating to deal with these difficulties, but the unexpected outcomes of your research can be the most interesting!” The Siemens Foundation established its competition in 1999, “as the nation’s premier science research competition for high school students and seeks to promote excellence by encouraging students to undertake individual or team research projects.” The Siemens Foundation awards more than $600,000 annually in scholarships to students during regional and national events. Students compete for scholarships ranging from $1,000 to $100,000. “In my opinion, finding renewable energy sources to replace limited, pollution-causing fossil fuels is one of the greatest problems of my generation,” said Danielle. “When I heard of the opportunity to experiment in the field of fuel cells, I jumped at it. Hopefully, the work that I performed can contribute, even slightly, to the rapidly-growing field of renewable energy!”

What’s so very special about Thanksgiving Day!

We all know that Thanksgiving Day is a time for family feasts, playing touch football in the back yard, getting together with old and new friends, and trying some new recipes. I look forward to trying the many old recipes passed down from one generation to the next. This holiday is a time for relatives to get together to tell stories and tell jokes, and to talk about times gone by and times to come. Some history: The passengers on the ship Mayflower were the earliest permanent European settlers in New England. They were referred to as the “First Comers” and they lived in perilous times. With their religion oppressed by the British government and the Church of England, the small party of Separatists who comprised almost half of the passengers on the ship sought a life where they could practice their religion freely, according to womenhistoryblog.com. On September 6, 1620, the ship Mayflower set off from Plymouth, England, on its journey to the New World. There were 102 passengers, which included 41 English Separatists (later known as Pilgrims), who were seeking a new life of religious freedom in America. The Separatists had

obtained a Patent from the London Company, which indentured them into service for the Company for seven years after they arrived. (womenhistoryblog. com) The Mayflower was a merchant ship made for carrying cargo like barrels of food or cloth, large pieces of wood and casks of wine. This cargo was stored in the lower decks of the ship in one large, open area with very low ceilings and no windows. It was cold, damp and dark. This is where the 102 passengers lived for 66 days. In October 1620 the Mayflower encountered a number of Atlantic storms that made the voyage treacherous. Several times the seas were so rough that they had to drift wherever the winds took them. It was not safe to use the sails. After two months, the crew of the Mayflower saw the shores of America, but they had driven far off their course. They were at Cape Cod, an area already granted to the Plymouth Company. The crew knew that they had no legal right to settle there so they decided to sail southward to find the Hudson River and establish their plantation. Soon they found themselves in dangerous seas. Afraid that their ship would be destroyed, they turned back. When they reached the shelter of Cape

Cod harbor, they decided to settle there, hoping they could make things right with the Plymouth Company later. They entered Cape Cod in the early morning of November 11, 1620, and anchored in what is now Provincetown Harbor. Before going ashore, the Pilgrims held a meeting in the little cabin of the Mayflower and drew up rules for the government of the colony. Forty-one men signed the Mayflower Compact, which was modeled after a Separatist church covenant, and agreed to be bound by its laws. It said: “In the name of God, Amen. We, whose names are underwritten, the Loyal Subjects of our dread Sovereign Lord, King James, by the Grace of God, of England, France and Ireland, King, Defender of the Faith. Having undertaken for the Glory of God, and Advancement of the Christian Faith, and the Honour of our King and Country, a voyage to plant the first colony in the northern parts of Virginia; do by these presents, solemnly and mutually in the Presence of God and one of another, covenant and combine ourselves together into a civil Body Politick, for our better Ordering and Preservation, and Furtherance of the Ends aforesaid … In Witness whereof we have hereunto subscribed our names at Cape Cod

the eleventh of November, in the Reign of our Sovereign Lord, King James of England, France and Ireland, the eighteenth, and of Scotland the fifty-fourth. Anno Domini, 1620.” The Pilgrims decided to call their settlement Plymouth, the name of the last town they had seen in England. Then they all went ashore, choosing as a landing place a flat rock. Mary Chilton Winslow has the distinction of being the first woman to step foot on Plymouth Rock as the Pilgrims descended from the Mayflower. After the landing at Plymouth, the men spent several weeks exploring Cape Cod, trying to decide where to build their plantation. The women still lived on the Mayflower, wondering when or if the men would return. After two months, they finally found a place to settle. During January and February of 1621, the women and children stayed aboard ship while the men built storehouses and living quarters. In March 1621, there were enough houses that everyone could live on land. After a long, hard voyage, and an even harder winter, the Mayflower left Plymouth to return to England on April 5, 1621.

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

Checks for Son Can Still Come in Mom’s Name BY TOM MARGENAU Q: I took my Social Security at age 62 so my 14-year-old son and his 55-year-old mother could get benefits on my record. My son is about to turn 16. So his mother will no longer be eligible for benefits. But my son’s checks were coming in my wife’s name. Will I have to go to our Social Security office to get the checks made out in my name? A: You can do that if you want. But you really don’t have to. Before I clarify this, let me give some background for other readers. The law says that children of a retiree can get dependent benefits until the age of 18. The law further says that the mother of the child also can get benefits (assuming she is not working) until the child turns 16. So you are correct that benefits to your wife will stop. However, she can continue to be the payee for your son’s Social Security checks, unless for some reason you want the checks to come in your name. Frankly, I don’t think it would be worth the hassle to change things. Q: I am 74. My wife is 72. I get $2,440 per month from Social Security. My wife gets $1,190 in her own Social Security. Recently, I went to the Social Security office to get a new Medicare card because I lost my old one. While I was there, I asked what my wife will get when I die. The lady there told me she’d get half of my rate. Yet in one of your recent columns, you said a widow over age 66 gets 100 percent of her husband’s Social Security. So who is right -- you or the woman at the Social Security office? A: Maybe we both are. I just think we answered your question in different ways. I was correct in saying that a widow is generally due 100 percent of her husband’s Social Security after he dies (assuming she is over age 66 when that happens). But that is NOT in addition to her own benefit. Rather, her widow’s rate is offset by her own retirement benefit. In other words, when you die, your wife will be due total benefits in the amount of $2,440 (100 percent of your benefit rate). She will keep getting her $1,190 retirement check, and then she will get $1,250 in widow’s benefits to take her up to your $2,440 level. That’s roughly one half of your current benefit. So I’m guessing the Social Security rep you were talking to was telling you that she would get about half your benefit -- which would be added on top of her own retirement benefit. Q: I will turn 66 in January 2018 and plan to file for my Social Security then. I run my own business. I expect a fairly significant net profit for this year. I am wondering if I should wait until I prepare my 2017 taxes before I file. Will that help me? A: The addition of your 2017 income to your overall Social Security record will likely cause a slight bump in your Social

Security benefit rate. If you wait until after you file your taxes, and then bring in your tax return with you when you sign up for Social Security benefits, they will be able to add in those earnings to your Social Security computation right away. But if your tax return isn’t prepared and filed until after you sign up for Social Security, it’s not really that big a deal. The Social Security Administration has a computer matching operation with the Internal Revenue Service. So sometime during 2018, your 2017 tax return information will be added to SSA’s files and your benefit would be refigured. And assuming those earnings boost your benefit, the rate bump will be retroactive to January 2018. Q: I am getting Social Security disability benefits. I turn 66 in December 2018 and I know that, at that time, I will be converted to Social Security retirement benefits. I plan to start working then. But can I start working in January 2018 already? A: Well, maybe yes and maybe no. This gets a little tricky. Here is why. The only reason you are getting disability benefits is because you have been determined to be unable to work because of your impairments. So if you return to work while still getting disability benefits, that’s going to set off alarm bells at SSA and you possibly could jeopardize your eligibility for those benefits. Having said that, there are all kinds of work incentives built into Social Security law that allow people like you to try working while still getting disability benefits. So you may be able to get into one of these so-called “trial work periods” between January and December of next year and continue to get your disability payments. Once you reach age 66, this all becomes a moot point because then you will be considered a retiree, not a disabled person, and retirees over age 66 can work and earn as much money as they want. So you should talk to someone at your local Social Security office about setting up a “trial work period.” Q: I have a 70-year-old friend whose 54-year-old husband just deserted her for a younger woman. He took everything. Is my friend eligible for any of his Social Security now? A: I’m sorry, but a married woman can’t get spousal benefits until the husband is getting Social Security himself. And that may not be until he is 66 or even 70. There would be a slight advantage if she divorces him. The law says a divorced woman can get spousal benefits even if the husband hasn’t applied for Social Security. But he does have to be at least 62 years old. So I’m afraid your friend has at least 8 years to wait before she qualifies for any of her husband’s Social Security. If she wants to wish him ill will, she can hope he drops dead from all the excitement of his new girlfriend! She would start getting widow’s benefits right away if that happens.

Q: I am 72 years old. I have a companion dog who is like a child to me. Can I get Social Security benefits for the dog? And I’m being serious. I don’t see anything in the law that says a dependent has to be a human being. A: Well, the law doesn’t say your dependent has to be human, but it does

say it must be your “biological child.” And unless you have a story ready for the National Enquirer, I doubt your pooch meets that criterion. If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has the answer. Contact him at thomas.margenau@comcast.net. COPYRIGHT 2017 CREATORS.COM

W R I T E R’S C O R N E R

What’s so very special about Thanksgiving Day! C ontinued from page D5 Plymouth, about 30 were children. Some were with their parents and others came with relatives. Pilgrim parents were strict and taught their children to fear God, to respect the king and the governor, and to be proud of being English. The Pilgrim children learned simple arithmetic, to write their names and to read the Bible a little. They made their own amusements – whittled toys out of wood or made dolls out of rags, corn husks and pine cones. Pilgrim children were up at sunrise. After breakfast, everyone went to work. The smaller children pulled weeds, gathered nuts and berries or picked up kindling wood for the fires. Girls cooked and baked, and made soap and candles. Boys learned to cut down trees, to saw and split wood for building houses, to sow and reap crops, and to fish and hunt.

In a letter from “E.W.” (Edward Winslow who would become the third governor of Plymouth Colony) to a friend in England, he says: “And God be praised, we had a good increase … Our harvest being gotten in, our governor sent four men on fowling that so we might after a special manner rejoice together …” Winslow continues, “These things I thought good to let you understand … that you might on our behalf give God thanks who hath dealt so favourably with us.” In 1622, Winslow’s letter was printed in a pamphlet that historians commonly call “Mourt’s Relation.” This published description of the First Thanksgiving was lost during the Colonial period. It was rediscovered in Philadelphia around 1820. Antiquarian Alexander Young included the entire text in his “Chronicles of the Pilgrim Fathers” (1841). Reverend Young saw a similarity

between his contemporary American Thanksgiving and the 1621 Harvest Feast. In the footnotes that accompanied Winslow’s letter, Young writes, “This was the first Thanksgiving, the harvest festival of New England. On this occasion they no doubt feasted on the wild turkey as well as venison.” The American Thanksgiving also has its origin in the faith practices of Puritan New England, where strict Calvinist doctrine sanctioned only the Sabbath, fast days and thanksgivings as religious holidays or “holy days.” To the Puritans, a true “thanksgiving” was a day of prayer and pious humiliation, thanking God for His special Providence. Key events, such as the sudden ending of war, drought or pestilence, might inspire a thanksgiving proclamation. It was like having an extra Sabbath during the week. Fasts and thanksgivings never fell on a Sunday.

In the early 1600s, they were not annual events. Simultaneously instituted in Plymouth, Connecticut and Massachusetts, Thanksgiving became a regular event by the middle of the 17th century and it was proclaimed each autumn by the individual Colonies. The Puritan’s holiday changed over time. By the 1700s the significance of the New England family united around a dinner table overshadowed the civil and religious importance of Thanksgiving. Yankee emigrants moved westward and New England’s holiday traditions spread to the rest of the nation. In time, this tradition was publicized by the press. The Continental Congress proclaimed the first national Thanksgiving in 1777. Over the years, the popularity of the Thanksgiving holiday ebbed and flowed. In 1941, Congress permanently See page D12

W R I T E R’S C O R N E R

What’s so very special about Thanksgiving Day!

C ontinued from page D7

established the holiday as the fourth Thursday in November. Toward the end of the 1800s, music, literature and popular art concentrated on the Pilgrims’ landing at Plymouth Rock and their first encounters with Native People on Cape Cod. After 1890, representations of the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag began to reflect a shift of interest to the 1621 harvest celebration. By the beginning of the 20th century, the Pilgrims and the Thanksgiving holiday were used to teach children about American freedom and how to be good citizens. Each November, in classrooms across the country, students participated in Thanksgiving pageants, sang songs about Thanksgiving and built log cabins to represent the homes of the Pilgrims. Now that the holiday is here, most people take a four-day weekend off to get together with friends and relatives. In my great, big extended family I take

the chance to tell the youngest children about some of the traditions we’ve had in my family for many years. One of the things I remember from being a child is that my mom would get the Thanksgiving Day food ready for the guests and one of the special treats she liked to serve was melon balls in a special fancy clear dish. Starting at age nine, my job was preparing the melon balls and assembling them just so while my mom finished getting the turkey ready as well as the stuffing, mashed potatoes, string beans, gravy, cranberry sauce and more. As she bustled around the kitchen doing her finishing touches, my mom usually asked my dad to carve the roast turkey that was fresh from the oven and pour some cold cider for our guests. So I kept concentrating on the cantaloupe melon balls, our appetizer, while they pulled the rest of the meal together. Melon ball spoons first appeared in 19th century France. They used to be called “Parisienne scoops” and they

allowed wealthy hosts to keep their hands clean and show off to their guests. Here’s how they work: first clean the knife, the outside of the melon and the melon ball spoon. Cut a ripened cantaloupe in half. Scoop out any seed pulp and discard it. Hold the scoop flat against the melon or at a slight angle. Press down into

the melon until the entire scoop has sunk into the flesh. If a portion of the scoop is above the melon level, you’ll end up with irregular chunks instead of perfect little spheres, according to wikihow.com. I took my job seriously because I wanted to help make each Thanksgiving a special one. A very Happy Thanksgiving to all!

The Mayflower’s Mary Allerton Lived to a Good Old Age …

Mary Allerton Cushman was a settler of Plymouth Colony in what is now Massachusetts. Mary Allerton was born about 1616 or 1617 (the exact date is in dispute) and baptized in Leiden, The Netherlands, to parents Isaac, Sr. and Mary Norris Allerton. Isaac, Sr. was 34 years old when he sailed on the Mayflower to America and his wife, Mary Norris Allerton, was 30. Mary Allerton came to Plymouth on the Mayflower in 1620 at about the age of four with her parents and two siblings. Around 1636, she married Thomas Cushman, who had come to Plymouth in 1621 at the age of 13 on the ship Fortune with his father Robert Cushman, who was a prominent member of the Pilgrims’ congregation in Leiden. Thomas and Mary had a large family. Mary had eight children named Thomas, Mary, Sarah, Isaac, Elkanah, Fear, Eleazar and Lydia, and seven of their eight children survived to adulthood. Those children eventually got married and Thomas and Mary Cushman had at least 50 grandchildren. Thomas and Mary, who stayed in Plymouth for the rest of their lives, both lived to a very old age. Thomas died in December 1691 at 85. Mary Allerton Cushman lived to the age of 83. Prior to her death in November 1699, she was the last surviving Mayflower passenger. She was buried on Burial Hill in Plymouth, Mass.

Robert Seaman Elementary School Fall Festival BY DARLENE PERGOLA-APOLANT

On Saturday October 28th, 2017, 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 sporting Halloween costumes and colorful face paintings, while others showed off colorful braids. Guests of all ages enjoyed the many fun games and delicious snacks. The parents had their own fun purchasing raffle tickets to win many amazing prizes donated by local merchants and Seaman families. The grand prizes were many but to name a few: lunch with Ms. Sherman, an NBA All-Star

Game Basketball signed by top NBA players, and many tickets to sporting events! Many lucky winners took home amazing prizes. The fundraising event was a success for all. None of this would have been possible without the school graciously opening its doors and tireless volunteers that made sure everything went according to plan. A special thanks to the Fall Festival Committee, the entire PTA, Principal Ivy Sherman, and all those who volunteered their time to make the fall festival a huge success. There were so many happy faces up and down the hallways and it was great to see families and friends spend the day together having fun.

ONE OF THE GREAT HEART HOSPITALS ONE OF THE GREAT

NEUROSCIENCE HOSPITALS?

It takes a great team of highly skilled, board-certified neurologists, neurointerventionalists, and neurosurgeons. But it’s not enough to have the best doctors. So we’ve also put the best tools and treatments in their hands. Tools that let them see deep inside the blood vessels of the brain or scan the human spine in high resolution. St. Francis is among the few hospitals that can apply neuronavigational tracking technology to spinal surgeries. Our neurointerventionalists use the latest stroke technology that can save a life in a heartbeat. No wonder we’ve become a leader in stroke care on Long Island. And what’s true for stroke care is true for muscle and nerve disorders, seizures, dementia, and everything else we do. Because great doctors and their teams make great hospitals.

WE’RE NOT ALL HEART From left to right: Jeffrey Farkas, M.D., Neurointerventionalist • David Q. Chen, D.O., Neurosurgeon Richard Johnson, M.D., Director of Neurosurgery • Rick Madhok, M.D., Neurosurgeon • Vincent DeOrchis, M.D., Neurologist
