TRY HOCKEY FOR FREE

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino (left) recently joined with New York Rangers’ Legends Rod Gilbert (center) and Ron Duguay (right) at the Town of Oyster Bay Try Hockey for Free Program held at the Town’s state-of-the-art Ice Skating Center. The Try Hockey for Free Program is coordinated with the Town of Oyster Bay and the New York Rangers. This program allows youngsters a unique opportunity to sample the sport of ice hockey.

Town creates quality of life task force

In order to protect and preserve the quality of life throughout the Town of Oyster Bay and address ongoing Town-wide issues with illegal housing, non-maintenance of property, and other quality of life concerns, Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino, Councilman Louis Imbroto, Councilman Tom Hand, and Town Clerk James Altadonna announced the creation of a Quality of Life Task Force. Officials joined with local homeowners who recently filed a complaint with the Town regarding illegal room rentals in a home across the street in their residential neighborhood in Bethpage. “This newly formed task force will focus on code enforcement for quality of life concerns such as illegal housing, zombie homes, noise, landscaping, and parking, amongst other issues,” Supervisor Saladino stated. The quality of life task force will be comprised of representatives from multiple Town departments, including members of Code Enforcement, Department of Planning & Development, and Town Attorney, as well as contain members of local law enforce-

ment and fire protection agencies. This inter-municipal cooperation will put the Town in the unique position to crack down on these types of quality of life issues that may be plaguing our residents in the quickest and most efficient way possible. “This task force will not only help protect our greatest asset, our quality of life, but also protect and preserve the safety and general well-being of our residents, as often these code violations can lead to dangerous and unsafe conditions,” Councilman Tom Hand added. One specific quality of life issue that the task force will focus on is the rise of illegal rooming houses which have cropped up not only in the Town, but all throughout Nassau County. Enforcement actions against these properties would be one of the task force’s top priorities, as it not only affects the quality of life of the neighbors, but the safety and well-being of the tenants. Residents who would like to report an issue of concern to the Quality of Life Task Force are urged to call Code Enforcement at (516) 624-6200.

Plainview health center offers a multitude of services

BY GARY SIMEONE

A new guidance and counseling services center has arrived in Plainview, and the non-profit organization hopes to cure people of their substance abuse disorders and mental health problems. Jeffrey Friedman is CEO of Central Nassau Guidance and Counseling Services, which is located on Newtown Road. “We needed an expansion of our facil-

ity because we were recently designated by the New York state government as the only certified healthcare center on Long Island,” said Friedman. Friedman said that the organization needed to free up space at their center on South Oyster Bay Road in Hicksville in order to accommodate their clinic. “We leased this new 10,000 square foot space in Plainview a little over six weeks ago.” He said that the center sees people

on an outpatient basis, and that a lot of the staff travel back and forth from the Hicksville location as part of a mobile outreach program. “CN Guidance and Counseling Services offers a safety net for people with mental health problems and opioid addiction and also serves as an outlet for parents who have children who are dealing with opioid and substance abuse problems.” CN Guidance and Counseling Ser-

vices has been in operation for 45 years and has multiple locations in Nassau County. There are over 350 employees who work for the non-profit organization. Friedman said that the community as a whole has embraced having a place that people can go to improve their quality of life. “The community has been very supportive of us and there are a lot of generous people here.”

Jericho’s Board of Education enjoys “Cookies and Canvas”

October is School Board recognition month and in honor of their volunteerism and dedication, the Jericho School District celebrated them throughout the month. In early October, Kati Behr, Curriculum Associate for Fine and

Performing Arts, arranged a “Cookies and Canvas” event where art teacher Laura Gilfedder led the board members and administrators in a group painting. Students helped the adults to create beautiful works of art. During the October board meeting,

all of Jericho School District’s unions combined their efforts and made a donation in the form of a scholarship for a graduating senior in the board’s name. Also, Superintendent Hank Grishman said, “We want to thank our school board members who volunteer many

hours to benefit the children and the school community.” Gifts were presented to the board from the district, bargaining units, PTA Council, as well as Legislator Arnie Drucker and Senator Carl Marcellino. Photos by Denise Nash

8 RESIDENTS For a More Beautiful Syosset welcomed the arrival of the autumn season this year by planting mums at the Memorial Park Garden at the corner of Underhill Blvd. and Jackson Avenue, and at the Jackson Avenue Community Garden across from St. Edward’s Church. The mums highlighted and enhanced the new signs in the Jackson Avenue Community Garden. They were replaced this summer after being accidently damaged as the result of snow removal last winter. Thanks to our members’ contributions, we were able to replace the damaged signs. RESIDENTS would also like to thank Peter Meyer of Meyer’s Farm, Woodbury, for donating the mums which announced the arrival of the autumn season. For more information, please contact RESIDENTS for a more beautiful Syosset, P.O. Box 446, Syosset, NY 11791.

Rosalind Wiseman smiles with some Jericho students. Rosalind Wiseman, bestselling author of Masterminds and Wingmen and Queen Bees and Wannabees, the book upon which the film Mean Girls is based, recently visited Jericho. Her visit was graciously sponsored by the Jericho PTAs. Rosalind met with middle school students and also spoke to fourth and fifth grade students about the difficulties they will likely face during these adolescent years. She also met with parents during an evening presentation and offered her expert advice on the most important and challenging job there is... raising our children! Based on over twenty years of teaching and constant feedback from today’s generation of young people, Rosalind

Wiseman’s presentation is a call for action to transform the way we understand youth culture and create communities where children can thrive. From young people’s friendships, social media use, gossip, drama, bullying, and the constant pressure to “keep up,” she shared how children and teens develop their sense of self and guide their decision making in everything from their academic choices, friends, and how they manage conflict. In addition, she gave concrete advice to parents and educators so they, in turn, can guide their children through the normal yet challenging problems young people face– while avoiding the common communication breakdowns and power struggles between children and adults.

Dolphin Quest Affords Memorable Way to Experience Bermuda BY DAVID LEIBERMAN & LAINI MIRANDA

Dolphin Quest is contained within The Keep of the Naval Dockyard © Karen Rubin/ goingplacesfarandnear.com.

Bermuda is a magical place where the beaches are pink sand and the aquamarine water is so clear, you can see amazing marine life and feed fish Cheerios. But one of the most magical experiences of all is Dolphin Quest. The experience starts off with our own training – shaping our own behaviors in order to properly interact with the dolphin. We join three others for a 30-minute Dolphin Dip – one of several different interactive encounters that are available. Lottie, the cheery dolphin trainer, tells us about how the dolphins learn and how they respond to specific calls. She teaches the five of us who have joined this session how to signal to the dolphins ourselves to elicit incredible behaviors. When we are in the large pool, Lottie calls me out to the middle of the lagoon and tells me to bring my hands together with palms facing up on the surface of the water. She blows a whistle and Caliban swims up to me and puts her snout on my hands, seeming to smile up at me with that broad dolphin mouth. Then she tells me to show her my cheek and he kisses me on the cheek! Now it’s Dave’s turn to come out. Lottie tells him to put his hand out to the side. Then Caliban swims up and takes his hand. They practically dance! Then Caliban swims past us, inviting us to stroke her tummy for positive reinforcement. We get to feed her a small fish after each behavior which she seems

Continued from page D1 to really enjoy. Lottie has each of us engage different behaviors with the four dolphins we get to meet, which are all also perfect photo opps. A professional photographer is on hand shooting photos the whole time and capturing so many amazing moments. The digital and physical copies of the photographs are available for sale through an online portal. They’re pricey, but they capture priceless moments! There is free seating poolside so if anyone in your party is not in the water with you, they have the opportunity to capture their own photos, too. The photographer is also extremely knowledgeable about the dolphins. He tells us about the 5- star health care they have and that the average lifespan is roughly double for the dolphins in their facility compared to dolphins in the wild. They also have a larger, more natural enclosed swimming area just outside the walls of the maritime museum, though we can’t see it ourselves because it is being cleaned. It’s $219 for the 30-minute “Dolphin Dip” — pricey, but one of the cooler experiences we’ve had and is an amazing gift for someone you want to indulge or some occasion you especially want to celebrate! Family/friends can watch from the sidelines where they can also enjoy seeing the dolphins up-close without paying the premium of being actually in the water with them. A portion of the proceeds goes towards continued animal research. So far, Dolphin Quest’s three operations

in Hawaii, Oahu and Bermuda have contributed more than $3 million in funding, resources and field support to vital marine studies around the globe. University research studies have generated hundreds of published scientific works that are helping researchers find solutions to the threats dolphins and whales face in the wild. These studies also help the marine mammal community better care for dolphins in human care. But there is something more: Dolphin Quest gives people a rare experience to interact and engage with dolphins, deepening our empathy for marine mammals and raising awareness about conservation programs. “With our dolphins, we touch the hearts and minds of our guests in a fun and inspirational way, sharing how each of us can play a vital role in protecting our precious ocean ecosystem,” Dolphin Quest says. Our time with the dolphins is not like a performance. We are reminded that dolphins are wild animals; they clearly only engage with us because they want to, and seem to genuinely enjoy the intellectual stimulation and social interaction. It is an incomparable experience to interact with another species, and especially so with an intelligent marine mammal. New Programs Ocean Habitat Dolphin

expanded its large ocean water dolphin lagoon inside the walls of the National Museum of Bermuda to include an outer Ocean Habitat. Accessed by a tunnel passageway, this supplemental sea sanctuary provides Dolphin Quest’s dolphins and guests another enriching natural environment to explore. The outer Ocean Habitat utilizes an environmentally friendly sea pen structure. Its natural underwater terrain and sea life mirrors the shallow bays and estuaries where the coastal ecotype of Atlantic bottlenose dolphins are found in the wild. “While our dolphins are thriving in their ocean water lagoon within the walls of the museum, it is so fun to be able to introduce them to another area for them to play, socialize and inspire people to care about and protect dolphins in the wild”, says Lauren McWilliams, Supervisor of Marine Animals at Dolphin Quest Bermuda. Founded by two marine mammal veterinarians in 1980s, Dolphin Quest continues to be on the leading edge of advocacy, conservation and research. Back then, Dr. Jay Sweeney and Dr. Rae Stone sought to create an alternative to oceanariums and “dolphin shows.” They set out to create pristine and enriching natural dolphin habitats where visitors could enjoy inspiring and educational dolphin encounters that, in

turn, funded wild dolphin conservation. Since opening their first location at the Hilton Waikoloa Village in Hawaii in1988, Dolphin Quest has become recognized as a leader in establishing large natural habitats for the animals, creating successful dolphin breeding programs and developing innovative interactive dolphin programs that combine fun and learning for the animals and the people, and promoting environmental stewardship. They opened their first Dolphin Quest in Bermuda in 1996 at the Southampton Princess Hotel, but it was damaged in Hurricane Gert in 1999. The staff battled high winds and rough water to move the animals to a protected area on the most southwestern side of the island, into an area known as The Keep within the Royal Naval Dockyard. This offered a large, protective oceanwater lagoon within a historic fort, with a connected outer habitat that would be safe from hurricanes and weather events. This became Dolphin Quest’s home on Bermuda. New innovative and inspiring interactive programs are now available in the Ocean Habitat: “Dive with Dolphins” helmet dive, the “Sea Quest” guided water scooter ride with the dolphins and the “Exclusive Sea Quest” which is a private experience.

W R I T E R’S C O R N E R

The wonderful, colorful signs of Autumn! BY CLAIRE LYNCH Fall is here with its crisp mornings and cool, clear nights. I like the change of seasons – it’s one of the reasons that I choose to live on Long Island. Whenever I see the leaves changing from their bright green colors to the oranges, browns and yellows of autumn, I like the sight. Sometimes I look out at my back yard and the beautiful foliage looks like a photo right out of a magazine. Here are a few things I like about fall.

Those Irresistible Autumn Leaves

When I think of the irresistible things in life, one of the highest things on my list is a pile of leaves. When I see a bunch of leaves piled high in the fall, I want to throw myself on it and flail around like a four-year-old child. A pile of leaves is soft, crunchy and scrunchy. It’s the best time of year for flailing. In the wintertime the trees are bare and leaves are hard to find. In the spring the leaves have come out but they are still usually attached to their trees. During the summer months most of the leaves are green, full and healthy. In the fall, however, the leaves dry up, become brittle and fall to the ground. A half block away from my family home is a dead end street and in the fall that

dead end was perfect for us kids to pile up the leaves and jump into them. We spent many hours in all types of weather – cooler temperatures and moderate – frolicking in the autumn leaves and I distinctly remember that if I happened to be lying on the pile of leaves and a sudden wind blew some more leaves down, I happily frolicked in the autumnal shower.

A Uniquely Different Halloween Costume

Last year my niece, Ellie, had a rather unusual request for her Halloween costume. She wanted to be Miss Phineas T-bone. Her mom and I wondered where this four-year-old girl had heard the name “Phineas” and we also wondered why she wanted to dress up as a T-bone steak. “It’s politically incorrect to dress up as a T-bone steak,” I told Ellie. “It’s more politically correct to be a vegetarian so why not dress up as a piece of broccoli or cauliflower? Why not dress up as an orange carrot?” Ellie protested by stomping her foot, scowling and saying, “I don’t want to be an orange blob walking down the street on Halloween. And I don’t want to be a piece of broccoli or cauliflower, either. I don’t care if I am politically correct or not. I want to be Miss Phineas T-bone.”

Her mom and I were puzzled but we started making Ellie’s costume. We cut out two big pieces of cardboard, one for the front and the other for the back. We painted them red, drew a brown T-bone on each side and connected the two pieces together, allowing enough room for Ellie to stick her head through. We checked the length, making sure that the cardboard covered Ellie but she could walk. We painted a brightly-colored salad onto part of the boards and added some salad dressing. On Halloween morning Ellie tried on her costume and gave us a big smile and a thumbs up. When she went trick or treating later that afternoon, people said that they admired her creativity. Early that evening there was a neighborhood contest for the most unusual Halloween costume and Ellie took

home first prize. Pleased with herself, Ellie shared her Halloween candy with the whole family. As we sat around the living room chatting I couldn’t help but ask Ellie how she had heard the name Phineas. “I don’t know,” she said. “I just heard it somewhere on TV. And I had a feeling I’d win first prize as Miss Phineas T-bone.” We all laughed and congratulated Ellie on her ingenuity.

It’s “Ghost Cat” – A Movie Just Right for Fall …

For several years now my family and I have made it an annual tradition to watch a made-for-TV movie called “Ghost Cat” shortly before Halloween. It’s the fictional story about Natalie, a 14-year-old girl who moves into a new See page D7

Benefits for Divorced Women BY TOM MARGENAU

All of today’s questions come from, or are about, women who are divorced. So let me make this general point first. The law says a divorced woman, who was married to her ex-husband for a minimum of 10 years, is due essentially the same benefits as a woman who is currently married to her husband. In a nutshell, that means a divorced woman can get between one-third and one-half of her ex-husband’s Social Security (depending on her age) while he is alive and between 70 percent and 100 percent of his Social Security (depending on her age) after he dies. And those benefits are NOT in addition to her own Social Security. Instead, they are offset by her own Social Security. In other words, she’d get her own Social Security retirement benefit first, and then she’d get the difference between her wife’s or widow’s rate and her own rate added to her retirement benefit. Q. I was married to my ex-husband for 32 years before we divorced. I understand I would be due benefits on his record if they exceed what I am due on my own. But what I don’t understand is why a woman who was married to a guy for only 10 years would get essentially the same benefit rate. Shouldn’t the benefits to ex-wives be prorated depending on the length of the marriage? A. First, let me verify that you are correct. A woman who was married to her husband for 10 years (and 10 years is the minimum duration-of-marriage requirement) would get the same benefit rate as a woman who was married to her husband for a very long time. Now let’s think about the prorated formula you proposed. I guess part of the reason it isn’t done is because it would be an administrative and mathematical nightmare. And then, would you ever stop prorating? I mean, I could picture myself getting a follow-up email from a woman who was married to her husband for 45 years before divorcing saying: “I sure as heck better get more money than that woman who wrote to you who was only married for 32 years!” Actually, the law used to say that a woman had to be married to a guy for 20 years before she could get benefits on his Social Security record. It was lowered to 10 years about four decades ago. Shortly after they changed the law, I remember taking a claim for divorced wife’s benefits from a woman who was married to her ex for only 11 years. I said something like, “I bet you feel lucky that they lowered the threshold to just 10 years.” And she said, “Believe me, being married to that jerk for 11 years was long enough! I should get all of his Social Security!” So there is that side of the argument, too. Maybe the law should say that if you were married to a jerk, you can

get his Social Security even if you were married for only a year. Of course, I’d hate to be the poor bureaucrat who has to decide who is a jerk and who is not! Q. I was married to my ex for 36 years before we divorced. I never remarried. But he did. We are both 62 years old. I was a stay-at-home mom when we were married. I have been working since our divorce at our local Walmart, but I don’t make very much money. So I am due a very low Social Security retirement check. I am sure I am due much more on his account. But the problem is, I don’t think he will ever sign up for Social Security. He and his new wife are both making big bucks and living the good life. I am tired and want to quit, but I can’t afford to live on just my Social Security check. Is there anything I can do? A. Yes, there is something you can do. You can quit your job and sign up for Social Security tomorrow, on both your own account and your ex-husband’s record. Although the law says a currently married woman can’t get any benefits on her husband’s record until he retires, the rules are different for divorced women. He does NOT have to be retired and getting his Social Security checks before you can claim benefits on his account. He merely has to be old enough to be eligible for benefits. You said he is 62. And that’s old enough. So call the Social Security Administration tomorrow at 800-7721213 and tell them you want to file for both retirement and spousal benefits. To get benefits on his record, you’ll need a copy of your marriage record and divorce papers. He will probably never even know you’ve filed on his account. And that’s because whatever you get on his record won’t take a nickel away from his own retirement benefits or from whatever benefits his new wife might be due on his account. Q. My 67-year-old mother was married to my father for 30 years before they got a divorce. About 9 years ago, she married a second man. That second husband died last year, and she is getting widow’s benefits from his Social Security. But now my father has died. My dad made a lot more money than the second husband and I’m sure his Social Security benefit is much higher. Can my mother switch to my dad’s Social Security? Or does the fact that she remarried mess her up? A. Your mom should immediately file for widow’s benefits on your dad’s Social Security record. Normally, if a divorced woman remarries, that ends her eligibility for her first husband’s Social Security -- as long as she remains married. But that second marriage ended when husband No. 2 died. So your mom is now free and clear to apply for

divorced widow’s benefits on your dad’s Social Security account. And just so you understand: Your mom will not get widow’s benefits from both husbands. Once her higher widow’s check from your father kicks in, her widow’s benefits

National Museum of Bermuda Here in Bermuda, participation in the Dolphin Quest programs also gives you free admission to the Maritime Museum and the National Museum of Bermuda, where you can explore the 200-year-old fort and experience educational maritime and cultural exhibits including: the Commissioner’s House, Shipwreck Island, The Warwick Project, Bermuda’s Defense Heritage and The Hall of History 1000-squarefoot mural painted by Bermudian artist Graham Foster, plus an onsite Playground and Playhouse for children. It is the perfect balance between a wondrous nature experience and a deep-dive into history. The Keep of the Dockyard is a sixacre historic fort that was designed to serve the naval fleet at anchor in Grassy Bay. It was once one of the most strategic military installations in the world and was heavily protected with a moated entrance, cannons, shell guns, and other weapons. It was designed so munitions and provisions could be moved by boat between the large Keep pond and the vessels in the harbor. The grounds and many buildings of the Keep are now home to the National Museum of Bermuda’s exhibits and serve as home base for its highly-regarded maritime research, restoration, and preservation

efforts. “The fort provides probably the world’s most secure home for our dolphins, and we are enjoying exploring the many possibilities for expanding our dolphin programs within this historic context,” Dolphin Quest notes. It is contained within a 16-acre National Museum of Bermuda with eight exhibit buildings and the most extensive historical collection in Bermuda, including the hilltop commissioner’s house. You can walk along the ramparts. In 2016, the dolphin’s habitat was expanded to include The Ocean Habitat, a large sanctuary that extends beyond the museum walls and allows the dolphins to swim out into the ocean waters via a connecting tunnel from inside the lagoon. The entire sanctuary is one of the largest and most natural dolphin habitats in the world. Dolphin encounters in this area allow guests to interact with dolphins while riding underwater scooters and they can also explore the Bermuda reefs and bountiful marine life. After American independence from Britain, Bermuda was identified as a strategic location for a naval base and dockyard. Construction on the dockyard began in 1809, which involved massive land reclamations and quarrying, first by slaves and then by thousands of British convicts. In its heyday, the dockyard provided facilities for the Royal Navy’s fleet. The Keep was the citadel of the Dockyard, built to guard the naval base against land or sea attack and as an arsenal. The massive bastions and ramparts were designed by the

Royal Engineers and are reinforced at intervals by casemated gun emplacements. Casemates were built in the late 1830’s to house troops manning the Dockyard fortifications. After Dockyard closed in 1951 it became Bermuda’s maximum-security prison from 1963-1994. It is currently undergoing extensive restoration by the Museum and volunteers. The Museum’s scope has expanded to encompass more than maritime history and today it is a vital custodian of Bermuda’s heritage. It is also a champion for the preservation of Bermuda’s underwater and land-based cultural heritage through collecting, exhibitions, restoration, conservation, research, publication, education, public outreach, and archaeology. The National Museum of Bermuda is open daily except Christmas Day (Dolphin Quest is still open); admission fees are $15/adult, $12/seniors; under 16 free; admission fee is waived for Dolphin Quest participants. _______________________ © 2017 Travel Features Syndicate, a division of Workstyles, Inc.

Wes and Natalie spent several days house hunting in Ringwood and finally chose the perfect house, formerly owned by Mrs. Ashboro. Wes and Natalie have moved there from Manhattan and both father and daughter have some questions about how they will adjust to their new and very different life. The house is owned by old Mrs. Ashboro, a retired librarian, who lives with her cat, Margaret. They live companionably together until she passes away.

The cat’s spirit appears to have returned to help Natalie protect herself from the spirits in this enchanting house. At first only Natalie seems to be around when the strange things happen. She is puzzled and it soon becomes clear that the ghost of Margaret is haunting the house. The gray and white cat dashes across their path at odd times, pictures fall off their mantles and pedestals at odd times, and this lovely house certainly has enough creaks and bumps to make its new owners quite jittery. Natalie knows to watch out when a feline causes mischief – especially around Halloween!

Watching the V-Formation of Geese

When I step outside my door in mid to late fall, I look up and see flocks of geese flying in V-formation down south, I am reminded once again that fall has arrived on Long Island. I tell myself to pull out a heavier coat because the weather is indeed changing. Canada geese, Branta canadensis, are one of the most familiar wildlife species in New York State. The migratory birds we see in New York State are the geese that breed in northern Canada and winter in the U.S. During migration flights, the family members keep track of one another in the moving flock by making a series of short honks. When they come closer to staging areas, resting areas or feeding areas, you may hear the honking pick up in tempo and also hear some additional, longer honks included. We can only assume that this communicates to the others to pay attention or that landing is imminent. These geese remind us of the changing seasons during the fall and spring migration. I recently read a short poem by New York native Rachel Lyman Field that I enjoyed called “Something Told the Wild Geese” that goes: “Something told the wild geese It was time to go; Though the fields lay golden

Something whispered, - “snow”. Leaves were green and stirring, Berries, luster-glossed, But beneath warm feathers Something cautioned, - “frost” … Something told the wild geese It was time to fly Summer sun was on their wings, Winter in their cry.”

How Jack-o’-Lanterns Became Popular

Fall is pumpkin time. Jack-o’lanterns originated in Ireland in the 19th century, and they were carved from turnips. They were named after the eerie flickering lights that showed up over the peat bogs and were called will-o’-the-wisp or jack-o’-lantern. The turnips, hollowed out to act as lanterns and often carved with scary faces, were used at Halloween in parts of Ireland and the Scottish Highlands. In these Celtic-speaking regions, Halloween was also the festival of Samhain and was seen as a time when supernatural beings and the souls of the dead roamed the earth. The belief that the souls of the dead roamed the earth at Halloween was also found in other parts of Europe. By those who made them, the lanterns were variously said to represent the spirits or supernatural beings, or were used to ward off evil spirits. Sometimes they were used by the people in Halloween costumes to frighten people, and sometimes they were set on windowsills to keep harmful spirits out of people’s homes. (dailykos. com) Either way, jack-o’-lanterns add a certain unique flair to the Halloween holiday.

Seeing the Fog Rolling In

Fog can appear during any season but there is something special about watching the fog rolling in during the fall. Its qualities are very different from rain, snow or sleet. Fog stands alone and reminds us once again that Mother Nature is in charge. Sometimes when I drive past a wide-open field early in

the morning on my way to work on a November day, I see how the fog has taken over the land and sometimes I draw in my breath at the sheer beauty of it. In 1916, Illinois native Carl Sandburg wrote a short poem about fog that pretty much sums up everything about it. In “Fog” he wrote: “The fog comes on little cat feet. It sits looking over harbor and city on silent haunches and then moves on.” When someone asked Sandburg about the origin of the poem, he said that one day when he was working as a journalist he was carrying a book of Japanese haiku when he went to interview a juvenile court judge. To reach the location where the interview was to take place, he had to cut through Grant Park, and he saw the fog over Chicago harbor. It was not that he was seeing fog for the first time, but this time he had to wait 40 minutes for the judge, and he only had a piece of newsprint handy, so he decided to create an American haiku about it. In the poem he writes about how the fog came in silently but surely. This poem first appeared in Sandburg’s collection of poems called Chicago Poems. Seeing fog in fields in the fall reminds me of seeing foggy scenes in Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” and on Broadway in “The Phantom of the Opera.” They have a way of standing out!

Oh Yes, Dancing in September …

At wedding receptions, one song that’s irresistible and prompts most people to get up and dance is Earth, Wind & Fire’s 1978 “Dancing in September.” The only question is, “Do you remember the 21st night of September?” Earth, Wind & Fire’s “September” even shows up in some movies, TV shows, commercials, sporting events and video games. In 1978, Allee Willis was a struggling songwriter in L.A. until she got a call from Maurice White, the leader of Earth, Wind & Fire. White offered her

W R I T E R’S C O R N E R

the chance of a lifetime: to co-write the band’s next album. Willis arrived at the studio the next day hoping that it wasn’t some kind of joke - and it wasn’t. Using a progression composed by Earth, Wind & Fire guitarist Al McKay, White and Willis wrote the song over the course of a month, thinking about images of clear skies and dancing under the stars. Willis says she likes songs that tell stories. Jeffrey Peretz, assistant arts professor at New York University’s Clive Davis Institute, has said that the song’s effectiveness has to do with how the music unfolds. “There’s four chords in the chorus that just keep moving forward and never seem to land anywhere - much like the four seasons,” he said. “It’s the end of summer, it’s the beginning of fall, it’s that Indian summertime, it’s the transition from warm to cool.” In the opening line White asks, “Do you remember?” and we supply the memories. It’s a song that can bring many generations together, which makes it perfect for family gatherings. (Per npr.org, Dan Charnas, 9/19/14) Here are the lyrics: “Do you remember the 21st night of September? Love was changing the minds of pretenders While chasing the clouds away Our hearts were ringing In the key that our souls were singing. As we danced in the night, Remember how the stars stole the night away Ba de ya, say do you remember Ba de ya, dancing in September …” The American landscape painter and author Eric Sloane once said about this season of fall: “A few days ago I walked along the edge of the lake and was treated to the crunch and rustle of leaves with each step I made. The acoustics of this season are different and all sounds, no matter how hushed, are as crisp as autumn air.”

Members of South Grove’s student council executive board kicked off the school’s Constitution Day ceremony.

South Grove students “aged” their personal constitutions using tea leaves.

To jump-start the school year in an exciting way, South Grove Elementary School in the Syosset Central School District infused its annual celebration of Constitution Day with many enriching and engaging activities. Second-graders participated in an enrichment lesson about the United States Constitution and wrote their own personal constitutions that highlighted their values. Music teachers also taught second-graders the Preamble to the Constitution in song. In conjunction with this, the school held its annual Preamble Challenge. Students in grades 2-5 were encouraged to memorize the Preamble. More than 30 students successfully recited it from memory. Students also had an opportunity to participate in a lesson about the judicial system, presented by New York State Judge Gina Summa. More than 60 students elected to participate in this informative and interesting presentation in lieu of their usual recess activities. Students enjoyed meeting this acting judge, who is also a South Grove parent.

On Sept. 18 the entire South Grove School came together for a special assembly to kick off the schoolwide character education program. This year’s Student Council class representatives and officers were formally installed at the assembly with the help of the school color guard, student council advisers, Judge Summa and Principal Mi Jung An. The school also introduced another special guest to students, Mascot Grover, who reinforced the importance of every student’s commitment to good character and making South Grove the best place it can be. For many second-graders, the grand finale of this two-week initiative was when they “aged” their personal constitutions using tea leaves to give scrolls a weathered look. Teachers from the South Grove music, art, world language and physical education departments pitched in to make this lesson on the Constitution fun and memorable.

Jackson Elementary Book Fair

Reading with Moby at Jackson

Erin Motkin, Special Education Teacher at Jackson Elementary School recently had a special visitor from Moby the certified therapy dog, who visited with his owner/trainer Lance Motkin. The main objective of this program is to provide a relaxed and “dog-friendly” atmosphere that allows students to practice the skill of reading. The activity also provides positive motivation and associations. Most children seem to naturally love animals, especially dogs. The children enjoyed sitting with and reading to Moby, who was an attentive listener.
