Jericho’s Parent University leads to positive dialogue BY RIKKI N. MASSAND

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino recently joined with his colleagues on the Town Board in recognizing Moms of Military Chapter 12-NY of the Blue Star Mothers of America for their outstanding efforts. Blue Star Mothers of America is an organization that provides support for mothers who have sons or daughters in active service in the U.S. Armed Forces. Supervisor Saladino and Town Board members proudly presented a citation to Moms of Military Chapter 12-NY President Lisa Ryan (fourth from right), Third Vice President Nicole DePalo (third from right) and Recording Secretary Mary-Ann Barcellona (second from right),

Despite heavy rain on Tuesday night, October 24, the Jericho Middle School library was home to an important dialogue was held, one week after emotions ran high during a debate at the school board’s monthly meeting. The fourth installment of the PTA Council’s (PTAs and SEPTA’s) Parent University in Jericho Public Schools was held during a fall semester Superintendent of Schools Hank Grishman had described as very trying. During the earlier debate over hosting exchange students, the Superintendent stated his “disappointment in our inability to maintain civil discourse and the ability to disagree in a manner that has been the standard in our district.” However, Parent University was a productive path for all five members of the school board who attended. School Board Trustee Barbara Krieger explained to parents the role and responsibilities of the Board of Education, limited to setting the bar with policies and district goals. “The Board sets goals for the district,

develop policies that will bring the district toward those goals and hire a superintendent, attorney, auditors and executive staff to make sure the district is maintained properly. The superintendent’s job is to take the policies we have developed and create prefaces for donations and programs – from there the parts the superintendent has developed carries to curriculum associates, principals and other district administrators to develop the details curriculum and business program,” she said. Board President William Ferro presided over the opening remarks from the Board of Education and detailed some aspects of community-school board interactions. On October 24 Ferro left attendees with a great positive that has come out of the foreign exchange student policy debate in Jericho. He spoke of a turn of events in the one week since some contentious and insulting messages were sent to the Board of Education and posted with a Change.org petition opposing the policy’s

Beyond the name game for college admissions

BY RIKKI N. MASSAND

Back for his fifteenth time at the Syosset Public Library on Monday, November 6, Michael Binder of Your College Navigator LLC will present a free college admissions seminar starting at 6:45 p.m. Binder’s office is located at 575 Underhill Boulevard in Syosset, and on September 15 and October 2 he presented at Chyten of Long Island Premier Test Prep and Tutoring, his neighbors at 575 Underhill and owned by Syosset Board of Education member Anna Levitan. As a consultant he primarily presents at public libraries and meets families

from many top Long Island school districts including Garden City, Manhasset, Great Neck, Hewlett-Woodmere, Jericho, and Syosset. Binder has presented at Syosset Library two times a year, in spring and in fall, for the past seven years. His website, YourCollegeNavigator.com, promotes ways of researching colleges and their admissions criteria as well as articles on “mistakes to avoid,” students’ “10 best steps” in the process and information on scholarships and financial aid. His work is broken down into short, convenient concepts and takeaways to apply when students start

a new path towards “maximizing their college admissions value.” Recently a heavy increase in high school students’ early admissions to college has become one of the biggest trends in higher education, both with early action and early decision. Binder says when he started as a college applications consultant nine years ago, about 20% of his Long Island base students would apply under those categories over eight months before their graduation from high school. Today he says as much as 80% of students are applying to some schools early, “to at least one

You used to be able to investigate colleges, look around, explore and ask questions starting the fall of senior year. Now that window is significantly shorter and students have just the first month of senior year before they need to get essays and applications out the door. Quality applications take time and they can’t be generated in one See page 17

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Email: Editor@GCNews.com

Town financial non-disclosure

To the Editor: Supervisor Saladino failed to submit annual fiscal stress test documents to the NYS Comptroller’s Office last week. The Town of Oyster Bay is the only Long Island municipality that failed to submit these financial disclosures this year. The Town of Oyster Bay has failed to disclose information about its finances to the Comptroller’s Office for four years . . . this time, claiming problems with a computer program. Is there something about our TOB finances that Supervisor Saladino and TOB council members don’t want the Comptroller’s Office and Oyster Bay residents to know? Under the law, intentionally withholding information is equivalent to lying by omission. Oyster Bay’s Town administrators—like the Trump administration in Washington— would have us believe this is OK. It is not OK! We must demand transparency, honesty and fiscal responsibility of our

elected officials. I, for one, will not support any administration that refuses to disclose its finances to N.Y. State auditors. I will be supporting Marc Herman for Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor, and Bob Freier, Eva Pearson and James Versocki for TOB Council. Now is the time to restore transparency, responsibility and decency to government. Karin Barnaby

Wasteful TOB mailers

To the Editor:w I was dismayed to receive yet another political mailer from Unelected Supervisor Saladino. These mailers cost the taxpayers almost $50,000 per mailing and I have received at least four of them in the last two months alone – that’s $200,000 of OUR money wasted on this man’s ego. It is unconscionable that the current Supervisor and Town Board continue to allow these mailings. I will be making sure they hear I disapprove on Nov. 7. Caryn Coville

The Maine Maid Inn is a landmark in the Jericho community, and the East Norwich Civic Association wants to make sure it stays that way. Civic Association President Matthew Meng said that the current owner of the Inn has failed to take the necessary steps to maintain the structure. “Current owners, the Woodbury based Scotto Brothers, have failed to maintain the front facade of the Inn, and there has been no adherence to its historic preservation,” said Meng. “The past Town [of Oyster Bay] administration has also failed to hold the Scottos accountable for their actions.” Meng said that at one point, there was an injunction against the Town that they must adhere to certain stipulations regarding the historic nature of the structure based on a landmark preservation abatement law. “The Scotto brothers have failed to adhere to a stipulation agreed to in 2015 in New York Supreme Court requiring the company to take steps to maintain the look of the inn’s historical facade.” Those steps include keeping the street facing facade in its original con-

dition, using the same white stain from the original time period, and reshingling and adding new shutters to the building. Meng said that the Scotto Brothers can do whatever they want to the inside of the building and the other three sides not facing the street. He also added that the company would be granted a reimbursement from Town taxes, including building and zoning taxes through a landmark status. The East Norwich Civic Association has retained the services of an attorney after sending multiple letters to the Town requesting a landmark hearing and not receiving any correspondence. “We’ve tried repetitively to reach out to the Town because we want them to step up to the plate and take measures to protect the historic nature of the Inn,” said Meng. He said that the Civic Association will have to wait until after the elections are over to take action. “We plan to speak at a Town Board meeting and make our voices heard in hopes that the new administration will be sensitive to the historic importance of the Maine Maid Inn.”

BY GARY SIMEONE Town officials came together on Caffrey Avenue in Bethpage on Monday to discuss the newly formed Town-wide Quality of Life Task Force. The Task Force is the first of its kind in the Town and will address issues such as illegal housing, non-maintenance of properties, so-called zombie homes, and parking and noise related problems. Town councilman Lou Imbroto, who will act as a liaison to the Task Force, said that when he was first elected, addressing quality of life issues was one of his first priorities. “These illegal boarding rooms and houses have been cropping up in our Town over the last few years and it is our job as elected officials to protect our residents from illegal housing, non-maintenance of properties and other quality of life concerns,” said Imbroto. The Quality of Life Task Force will be made up of representatives from multiple Town departments including public safety officers, Code Enforcement personnel and members of the Planning and Development department. Just recently Town officials received

a complaint from a Caffrey Avenue homeowner that the house across the street from there’s contained multiple people living inside. “Supposedly, a company who owns the home was renting out to their employees,” said Jaime Nuzzi, who lives at 80 Caffrey Avenue. “There were people coming and going at all hours, different cars on the street all the time, and being that I have three small children, I didn’t feel safe.” She said that the Town responded to her complaint immediately. “I am feeling so much safer now that the problem has been taken care of,” said Nuzzi. Town Supervisor Joe Saladino, spoke about the issue of zombie homes on Long Island and in the Town. Zombie homes are abandoned properties that have been stuck in foreclosure for a prolonged period of time. “There have been issues with these type of homes in our Town and in New York state in the last couple of years,” said Saladino. “With this new Quality of Life Task Force, we will no longer let these abandoned properties plague our neighborhoods.”

PRESENTED BY BLANK SLATE MEDIA

Congratulations to Syosset High School seniors Jarrad Li and Rahul Parthasarathy for being named 2017 semifinalists in the Siemens Foundation Competition for Math, Science & Technology, the nation’s premier science research contest for high school students. Additional congratulations to Rahul, who advanced to the regional finalist round, one of only 11 from Long Island to reach this level. Jarrad conducted research on safe, alternative energy at Stony Brook University, teaming with two other students from nearby high schools. By synthesizing the optimal ratio of gold-silver alloy nanoparticles and coating the fuel cells with these nanoparticles, Jarrad and his team effectively catalyzed carbon monoxide oxidation and increased fuel cell power output, making them more cost efficient and commercially viable. Rahul worked independently at Brookhaven National Laboratory to identify crystals formed from a compound of cadmium, zinc and tellurium that are most ideal for use as radiation detectors. By analyzing the properties of CZT that affect detector performance Rahul was able to compare the strengths and weaknesses of these crystals. By characterizing the optimum crystals, his research can make detectors more

affordable and accessible, opening up a wide range of uses. Possible fields of usage include astrophysics, national security and nuclear medicine. “Rahul and Jarrad are both determined and dedicated young scientists,” said Syosset High School science research facilitator Veronica Ade, who oversees the school’s participation in

the Siemens competition. “They both followed their scientific passions to laboratories which could foster their talents and were able to use those experiences to enter the 2017 Siemens competition.” This year, from about 1,860 projects submitted, 491 students were recognized as semifinalists and 101 as regional

finalists. On Nov. 18 Rahul will present his research via videoconference to judges at Carnegie Mellon University, vying for a seat at the national finals at The George Washington University this December, where $500,000 in scholarships will be awarded, including two top prizes of $100,000.

Augmented reality program comes to Seaman

Students at Robert Seaman Elementary School recently had the chance to try out Google Expeditions, a new augmented reality program. This educational software uses cutting-edge technology to create a 3D map on a user’s device of a physical room and then places virtual objects around the digital room.

Students walked around the library using equipment provided by Google and saw amazing thingsw like planets and underwater creatures. They were able to walk around the 3D objects, look closely at them to spot details, and step back to see the full scene. It was a great opportunity for everyone! Photos by Denise Nash

The students work with Seaman librarian Samira Salzberg to set up the equipment.

Everyone enjoyed the experience!

HOW DID ONE OF THE

12 Friday, November 3, 2017

Jericho’s Parent University leads to positive dialogue

From page 1 adoption. “There was disagreement amongst the community and disagreement amongst board members. The most beautiful thing that came out of that meeting was that I received a number of emails – some addressed to the whole board, some addressed to me – and they were from people who didn’t necessarily agree with me, opposed to the position I had. Those emails were very respectful, very appreciative of the way the (October 17) meeting was run and the way people were able to participate and communicate. As a community this was what we’re trying to achieve and why we are here tonight. We are taking time with these sessions for parents to understand what the Board of Education does and that we are not trying to do something that is not in the best interests of everybody – we have an open mind and we are listening, and we are going to express our own opinions. As this community continues to grow and change we will grow together. With any change it is only natural that people might feel confused or that they are not being included in the process. As long as I am here, I will make sure everybody feels that they are part of the process and they have access to the process, the schools administration and to the Board of Education,” Ferro said.

His thoughts on the October 17 meeting’s rounds of comments were simply “it worked, as people were able to hear, be heard and understand.” The Change. org petition had circulated from September 28 to October 17, the night Ferro broke down and announced he had had enough of intolerance and vilifications made against members of the community. At the last board meeting Ferro said the online petition created turmoil with its “miscommunication and misinformation, which we (the school district and board) does not control.” His speech to Jericho parents last Tuesday, many of whom had not attended board meetings on a regular basis, offered clarity and a “bridge over that gap of communication.” “We encourage residents to come to our public meetings and our agenda is always online – we run our public meetings differently than a lot of school districts as we pretty much have an open forum. As you saw last week (October 17) at the meeting every resident who wanted an opportunity to speak had an opportunity to speak without interruptions, everyone was very orderly and accessible. All public meetings are open to the entire community but they’re not very well attended, although they are attended by the full district administration as they work countless hours every week, and they are always attended by PTA and representatives

of PTA Council. Unless there’s a hot button issue which we do not get very often in Jericho the meetings are not as well attended by the community – if you want to learn more then please come to our public meetings as you are always welcome. It is a good way to get to see how the process works,” Ferro explained. He added that the board of education’s executive sessions are not an occasion when the district hides its moves from the public; rather that the law requires executive session for matters related to specific district personnel or employees, contract negotiations with unions and bargaining units, or a specific student’s academic needs or behavioral issues, items are protected by law with “a confidential discussion that must be had in executive session.” After each board trustee spoke, none of the parents in attendance last Tuesday night asked questions about the board, its processes and district communications. Breakout sessions about the district presented during the Jericho Schools Parent University event included “Technology and How it is Used in the District” held inside the Middle School Library computer lab; “Psychologists and Social Workers” and “What is a Curriculum Associate?” a discussion hosted by Barbara Bauer, assistant superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction.

A path back to Jericho, onto the School Board

Board Trustee Pam Wasserman-Heath said she is proud of her roots in Jericho and after living in Chicago, the community and school atmosphere there wasn’t on par with what she knows and loves about the Jericho district. “I love this district and after going away and seeing what else was out there I learned that the roots in this community and district would draw me back. I realized that when I had my own children, and the education Jericho offers really drives that. It is phenomenal across the board for acaSee page 17

Regent Seven Seas’ Navigator in New York Provides First-Hand Look at ‘Most Inclusive Luxury Cruiseline’ BY KAREN RUBIN Regent Seven Seas’ Navigator was docked at Pier 88 on the Hudson River in New York City, having just come in from a month-long voyage. As passengers for its next sailing – a 12-day cruise up to Halifax, Nova Scotia and down to Bermuda (fall foliage and eternal spring combined in a single journey) we got to tour the ship and see why Regent boasts being the “most inclusive luxury cruiseline.” In style, feel, and philosophy, Regent Seven Seas harkens back to the glory days of ocean cruising - elegant, luxurious, intimate, a hunger and excitement to explore places. RSSC specializes in longer cruises and a focus on destinations with longer stays in port to give more time, more in-depth visits, multiple nights in port, and free, unlimited shore excursions. It lists some 450 ports of call among its itineraries, which include a 137-day circumnavigation of the world, and longer stays in port to give more time, more opportunity for in-depth visits. Regent’s smaller ships can access ports that bigger ships cannot, and therefore are less frequented and less overrun (Check out www.rssc.com/ destinations). For this reason, unlimited shore excursions among a long list of

Regent Seven Seas’ Navigator in New York Provides FirstHand Look at ‘Most Inclusive Luxury Cruiseline’

Continued from page D1 inclusive features Regent Seven Seas offers a sophisticated, refined ambiance and casual elegance, and a premium on pampered service – the staff to guest ratio is 1:1.5. This isn’t the cruise for a family looking for rock-climbing walls, water slides, flow-riders or supervised children’s activity programs. But it’s a cruise for families who want that sense of discovery, of immersion into cultures and heritage Because of the longer itineraries, cruisegoers tend to be of retirement age, who want “good food and beverage and bucket-list destinations.” So a really significant all-inclusive feature of Regent Seven Seas Cruises are free unlimited shore excursions in every destination, as many as you like in a day. There are a limited number of optional tours, Regent Choice Shore Excursions, that because of their special content or limited availability or high cost, like heli-touring, require a discounted supplementary charge. Free unlimited shore excursions (you can take multiple ones a day) is just the beginning. Also included are two-for-one fares; free roundtrip business class air on all intercontinental sailings or free roundtrip air on domestic flights; free unlimited Wifi; specialty restaurants with no surcharge; free unlimited beverages including fine wines and premium spirits; free open bars and lounges; in-suite mini-bar replenished daily; free pre-paid gratuities; free transfers between airport and ship; and free one-night luxury hotel package in

concierge suites and above. When you calculate the inclusive features, the unabashedly pricey fare becomes more of a value proposition. And, on top of that, there are special offers at RSSC’s site: For example, the June 12, 2018, 12-day London (Southampton) sailing to Copenhagen on Seven Seas Explorer has two-for-one fares from $12,499 (with the discount) but children 17 or younger sail for $1,299. The July 6, 2018 12-day Reykjavik to Dublin voyage on Seven Seas Navigator, priced from $9,799 pp, features a bonus savings of $1400 per suite. A featured offer on an 11-day sailing on Seven Seas Explorer, Monte Carlo to Barcelona on April 12, 2018, with fares from $10,099 pp, features bonus savings of $2800 per suite. Return to World Cruises This year, Regent Seven Seas Cruises offered its first world cruise in six years on Seven Seas Navigator, beginning and ending in Miami on a circumnavigation of the globe in 128 nights, calling on six continents, 31 countries, 62 distinct ports and exploring 29 UNESCO World Heritage sites. Navigator is also the ship for the 2018 and 2019 world cruises; Mariner, which accommodates 700 passengers, will be the ship for 2020. World Cruises come with a slew of additional inclusive features, including roundtrip air, full medical care, and visa and passport services. Refined Ambiance Navigator is refinement, elegance

and grace, a destination in itself. Accommodations are all-suites, nearly all with private balcony. With only 490 guests, and a staff to guest ratio of 1 to 1 ½, you feel pampered. Regent Seven Seas refurbishes ships every 2-3 years; and in 2016, Regent initiated a two-year fleet-wide $125 million refurbishment program to bring its ships up to the standard of its newest, Seven Seas Explorer, which has been hailed as “the most luxurious cruise ship” ever built. Navigator had just gone through a bow-to-stern refurbishment in the first phase of the renovation project and we were able to see the fresh, warm color schemes, contemporary design, plush furnishings and amenities. A popular space is the Galileo Lounge on Deck 11 with a décor that conveys a celestial feel, beginning with its tempered glass double-door entrance trimmed with an abstract design reminiscent of the solar system and featuring a decorative sun-shaped handle. That theme extends inside the 132-seat cocktail lounge, where a nightblack oval-shaped ceiling twinkling with fiber-optic “stars” overlooks the inlaid wooden dance floor. Navigator Lounge / Coffee Connection: By day, these intimate Deck 6 venues – connected by a central walkway – are bathed in natural light from a bank of windows overlooking the sea. By night, the Navigator Lounge transforms into a small night club, with a Steinway piano as the centerpiece. Adding to the elegance are leatherwrapped columns with a copper-topped

capital and dark wooden base. The theater is a stunning affair – sofas and easy chairs with small tables, a beautiful stage where there is nightly entertainment – Broadway reviews and Las-Vegas style entertainment performed by a small cast of 4 to 6, plus onboard lectures from the Smithsonian Collection by Smithsonian Journeys . There is also a small casino in the style of the French and Italian Riviera, as opposed to Las Vegas glitz and noise. The Library is stunning (there is wireless access throughout the ship, free wifi). There is an onboard Canyon Ranch SpaClub® offering various spa treatments; as well as a fitness room and yoga rooms – with free classes (stretching, pilates, yoga, spinning) offered throughout the voyage. The outdoor pool is lovely; there is also a jogging track and miniature golf. Cuisine Regent Seven Seas is also known for its cuisine. In Compass Rose, the main dining room, the menu changes daily with a selection of offerings that reflect the destination, along with popular Continental cuisine standards, a selection of Canyon-Ranch healthful items, vegetarian and Kosher. The specialty restaurant on board, Prime 7, is a classic American steakhouse. La Veranda, a lovely casual restaurant for indoor and al fresco dining with incredible ocean views, is the casual restaurant serving smorgasbord-style for breakfast and lunch that transforms into a fine dining

venue, Sette Mari La Veranda, for dinner featuring regional specialties and Italian specialties. The Pool Grill offers casual dining al fresco and a popular Burger Bar. There are culinary demonstrations and wine tastings. Suites with Benefits Regent Seven Seas prides itself on being the most inclusive luxury cruising experience afloat, but as the suite category increases, so do added benefits: The Concierge Suite Category, 356 sq ft with 55 sq ft balcony, adds free one-night pre-cruise luxury hotel package that includes ground transfers, breakfast, porterage; priority online shore excursion and dining reservations; binoculars; Espresso Maker & cashmere blankets, commemorative gift plus the rest of the amenities. The Penthouse Suite category, 356-476 sq. plus 55-60 sq ft. balcony adds in personal butler; daily canapés; Guerlain bath amenities; in-suite I-Pad; personalized stationery; complimentary pressing on first night.

Chelm The mythical town in Poland, where all the residents are usually happy, gentle folk who also share another virtue— they are considered fools by everyone living outside of Chelm. In Chelm, the wisest thing you ever heard was spoken by the last person who spoke. Therefore, the next Chelmer to speak will always have something wiser and more foolish to say. A typical Chelm Story: There was a young man of Chelm who was totally ignorant of many facts of life. One day, he went running frantically to the rabbi, crying: “Rabbi, can you explain this extraordinary thing? My wife and I have been married only three months, and everyone knows it takes nine months for a baby to be born—yet she’s just given birth. How can this be?” The rabbi sighed. “I see, my son, you don’t understand the simple arithmetic. I ask you: Have you live with your wife for three months?” “Yes.” “Has she lived with you three months?” “Yes.” “Together you have lived three months?”

“Yes.” “And how much is three plus three plus three?” “Why, nine of course,” Rabbi. “Then why bother me with silly questions?” 6. Anatevka Anatevka is the fictional Russian shtetl as portrayed in the B’way show, “Fiddler on the Roof.” Life in Anatevka is very much governed by tradition. All is well in Anatevka while everyone is content with his/her allotted place. Tevye says, “Because of our traditions, we’ve kept our balance for many, many years. Here in Anatevka we have traditions for everything—how to eat, how to sleep, how to wear clothes. Because of our traditions, everyone knows who he is and what God expects him to do.” A description of Anatevka: dreadful. Hunger was endemic, sanitation disgusting, housing unspeakable. Muddy streets, open latrines—and neither water nor light blessed the huts and hovels.

Swindler Must Pay Up Before Benefits Start BY TOM MARGENAU

Q: I have a brother-in-law who is a scoundrel in my books. I just don’t know what my sister sees in this guy. Back when he was in his 40s, he was convicted of defrauding the Social Security disability program. I know he paid a fine and even served some jail time. That was about 20 years ago. Now he is about to turn 62 and according to my sister, he is signing up for his Social Security old age pension. Surely the government isn’t going to start paying this crook retirement benefits, will they? A: Obviously, I don’t know any of the particulars about this case other than what you told me. But if he served his prison sentence, then he has repaid his debt to society and he would be eligible for retirement benefits, assuming he meets all the eligibility factors. But even though he’s repaid his debt to society, he has not repaid his debt to the Social Security system. And what I mean by that is the Social Security Administration will withhold all of his monthly retirement benefits until they have recovered every nickel in disability benefits that he swindled out of the system. Q: There is a guy on our block whom I am convinced is a deadbeat cheat. He is living off of Social Security disability benefits, yet I see him outside all the time working on his house and yard. How can the government be sending this guy a check every month when there is obviously nothing wrong with him? A: Just because you see someone “outside all the time working” doesn’t necessarily imply that he is totally healthy and fit. I have a friend who is in the early stages of cancer treatment, yet he is always doing things around his house and yard. I’m sure he likes staying as busy as he can to help keep his mind off of all his problems. Of course, I don’t know what is going on with your neighbor. But if you really suspect he is cheating the Social Security system out of disability benefits, do something about it. Don’t just gripe to me. Report him to the Social Security Administration. You can do so anonymously. Just go to the Social Security website and under the “Contact Us” link, click on the tab that says “Report Fraud, Waste, or Abuse.” Q: I know someone who is cheating the Social Security system. She is nothing but a drug addict. She lives on the streets, and I’m sure she is a prostitute. She has never worked a day in her life. Yet she gets a Social Security check every month. No wonder our Social Security system is in such trouble if they are sending checks to people like her! A: Once again, I obviously know nothing about this woman. And I wonder how you know so much about her and her

alleged Social Security checks. Over my 45 year career dealing with these issues, I’ve run into thousands of people who claim to know all about someone’s life, only to learn later that most of what they thought they knew was gossip and hearsay. Still, if you truly believe this woman is abusing the system, you can follow the advice I gave in my prior answer by reporting her to SSA’s fraud department. By the way, if she really is getting a monthly disability check, my educated guess is that she is getting Supplemental Security Income payments, not Social Security. SSI is a federal welfare program run by the SSA that pays monthly benefits to low-income people who are over 65 or disabled. SSI payments are funded by general tax revenues, not Social Security taxes. The law says that people can NOT get SSI (or Social Security) disability benefits simply because they are addicted to drugs. But many people with drug addictions also have other severe physical or mental impairments that qualify them for disability benefits. Q: There is a guy in our small town who is a drunk. And he brags that he is getting a disability check from Social Security. Why does he deserve a disability check for a condition he brought on himself with all his drinking? A: Well, I guess I’m going to have to start every answer in this column by pointing out that I really don’t know anything about the situation being presented. But I do know Social Security law, and I can make some educated guesses about what is going on. Just as with drug addiction, a person cannot get disability benefits just because he or she is an alcoholic. But frequently someone with severe alcohol dependency also has many other problems, like possible cirrhosis of the liver or cardio-vascular issues. So if this guy is getting disability benefits, he is getting them because he has other chronic disabling conditions, not because he is an alcoholic. As to your point that he shouldn’t get disability benefits “for a condition he brought on himself,” well, there you are traveling down a rather slippery road. I have a cousin who gets disability benefits from Social Security because he has terminal lung cancer. He smoked three packs of cigarettes a day for all of his adult life. My wife is friends with a severely obese woman with chronic heart problems who is getting disability benefits. She spent much of her life eating a high fat diet. Should benefits be denied to these people because they brought on their own medical problems? If we start denying government benefits to people whose lifestyle choices led to their disabling conditions, we’d have very few people getting disability benefits. Q: I have a lady friend at church. She is probably in her late 60s, like me. She has a grown son who is mentally disabled. He is probably about 35 years old. My friend said her son

is getting Social Security disability benefits. How can that be? I know he hasn’t worked a day in his life. She is a nice Christian woman so I don’t think she is lying to me. But how can he be getting disability benefits without ever working? Should I report her for fraud? I am very torn about this. A: You can stop worrying. Your friend’s son is very likely getting benefits on his mother’s (or his father’s) Social

Security record. The law says benefits can be paid to dependent children up to age 18. But the law further says that if the child is disabled, those benefits can continue -- usually for the rest of his or her life. If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has the answer.

Best Inexpensive: Electric Toothbrush, Folding Knife, Smart Speaker and Extreme Hand Lotion BY MARY HUNT

One of the best things I’ve done in a long time is to invite my readers to send in their requests for my Best Inexpensive picks. I’m not sure why I love it so much, but it may have something to do with satisfying my inner shopper without actually shopping. At any rate, today I’m excited to reveal my Best Inexpensive pick for four completely unrelated but frequently requested items, with links available at http://www. everydaycheapskate.com/bietf. ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSH. I’ve gone to the same dentist for so many years that I’m sure he’d be embarrassed if I told you here. Know how much I trust and depend on Richard Oliver, D.D.S., of La Palma, California? I now live 1,100 miles away, but he’s still my dentist, and I still show up for regular cleaning and checkups. Dr. Oliver believes so strongly in the effectiveness of a good electric toothbrush that he gives his patients a new brush head for their particular model every visit. My pick for the Best Inexpensive electric toothbrush is the Oral-B Pro 1000.

Here’s why: It has a built-in timer, so I know how long I have to keep going at it. It gives me an alert when I’m done -- and also a pulse every 30 seconds, indicating when I should switch areas. The replacement toothbrush heads are very inexpensive -- or free, if you know Dr. Oliver. This brush holds a charge for many days, which makes it ideal for travel. The manufacturer claims that the Pro 1000 removes 300 percent more plaque than a regular toothbrush, something I cannot prove but, having used both, I believe. And here’s the best part: It costs about $40. FOLDING KNIFE. Having all sons and one husband, I know how much many men enjoy and depend on a decent pocketknife. In my family, I’ve joined those ranks. I love having a good, dependable cutting tool in my handbag. And I know the heartache of losing my favorite well-used and always-sharp knife. That’s when it’s good to know I carry the best that is also inexpensive. My pick for Best Inexpensive pocketknife: Columbia River Knife and Tool’s Drifter G10 plain-edge folding knife.

Here’s why: It is the perfect size and shape. Once folded, it locks in place for safety. The razor-sharp blade is high-quality stainless steel. For the money, this is a super bargain. It’s about $23. SMART SPEAKER. It started with Apple’s Siri -- a voice-activated intelligent cellphone feature willing and able to answer just about any question. Then, about two years ago, Amazon.com introduced its version for the home, featuring the intelligence of Alexa. Don’t know what I’m even talking about? Ask any 10-year-old (or, in my case, any 2-year-old grandson who has fallen in love with Alexa). My pick for Best Inexpensive smart speaker: the Eufy Genie smart speaker with Amazon’s Alexa. Here’s why: I have been testing Eufy Genie for weeks now and find it to be on a par with Amazon’s Echo Dot in every way. And it’s so much less expensive. It’s about $35. EXTREME HAND & BODY CREAM. If you suffer with what one reader describes as “alligator skin,” you’ve most likely spent a fortune trying every possible moisturizing hand and body

cream out there. So have I, especially now that I live in a very dry climate. And all of my tests and trials have paid off, because they led me to Atrac-Tain superior moisturizing cream. Here’s why: This cream is the undisputed best option for every skin type, even extremely dry, cracked skin. Atrac-Tain is miraculous. It is fragrance-free, thick and creamy and goes on nearly dry, leaving no greasy or sticky feeling. This is a miracle in a tube and worth every penny. It’s about $11.

From page 1 day…The importance of students starting the process in their junior year is incredibly important because this way when they get to the summer between junior and senior years they should start writing applications if they did the right job – if not, the early action deadlines come up and they’re in panic mode” Binder said in an interview on October 31. He says prior to this week he received several calls and messages from frantic students and parents.

Extracurricular Quality, not Quantity

Binder advises students to take full consideration when answering essay questions and prompts from colleges and universities. For example he says a question from the University of Michigan could state “describe a community that you are a part of and your role in that community.” Binder tells students to think about being impactful with their actions and involvements in causes and organizations they care deeply about rather than being seen as spread too thin in a number of miscellaneous activities. He sees too many cases where students like to tout their proficiency in math and science as a member of the high school math or science clubs, but they come up short on substance when talking about what they do with these interests or subjects. He says a better example was a student who wrote a letter to New York State Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand about a disparity she was confronted with, simply asking for her help. That letter – a small act to initiate a change that the student was passionate about – eventually led to the student meeting the senator and working in her re-election campaign in 2012, both highlights that became integral to her college applications. Another trend among students in Long Island’s top districts is gravitating towards campuses in the Southeast, from the Carolinas to Florida and to colleges in Southern California, Arizona and Texas: students are choosing to move to colleges in warm climates. Binder says outside of major Northeast

cities from the Boston-to-Washington corridor it is hard for outstanding “nonname” schools such as the University of Rochester to attract students from Long Island’s north shore, who do make exceptions for upstate New York when it comes to Cornell, Colgate University and Syracuse. “First thing students focus on is the name, but there’s a trend towards warm weather. Still it’s the usual suspects among the 20 same colleges students want to apply to, but a lot of students are not qualified for some of these schools. The better students and the average students are applying to the same places. One of the challenges is that families are missing out on their best-fit colleges. It is not only the name that should make you apply – target a college that will help you graduate and make a career. There are so many students but out of 3,000 colleges in the country, 90% of students here are applying to the same 40 schools,” Binder said. Cornell is a huge draw for students from Long Island, but Binder warns that for some majors and careers that students have in mind, Cornell is not always the right stepping stone for where they want to go based on their criteria for advancing in education. “Their answer is ‘yes, I know, but it’s Cornell,” he says. Over the years Binder has worked with community groups including the Chinese American Association of Syosset (CAASyosset.org) and introduced many families fairly new to the United States to the world of college admissions and the college financial aid process, He says these ‘lessons’ are difficult for even the highest-rated school districts to get proactively involved in, and time and resources are not adequate within schools to meet every child and family’s circumstances. The districts have hundreds if not thousands of families to work with and a budgeted amount of guidance counselors and support staff. Often times in Jericho and Syosset English can be a barrier, and parents may consider the wrong factors involved in the high school-to-college transitions;

just because parents in China may view Jericho and other Long Island schools as “Google districts” that does not equal certain name-brand colleges being intricately linked to the school district, regardless of how many students from Syosset, Jericho or elsewhere have been admitted in the past. At its October 17 Board of Education meeting Jericho Public Schools’ Superintendent Hank Grishman introduced Diane Johnson as the district’s new interim curriculum associate for guidance, a new position created as leading public schools invest in the social and emotional learning of students “through articulated programs and services, in a comprehensive guidance and counseling program.” Binder says the college application process today is beyond what high schools can handle. This month he is working with a dozen students, all seniors in either Jericho High School or Syosset High school, and he saw applications the guidance counselors had signed off on as incomplete and inaccurate, and not specifically targeted for the school the students apply to. “The substance on what the counselors OK’d on was so far off. Not just in Jericho and Syosset, but overall high schools do not give the students the time that they need as kids need more than half-an-hour in one month for applications. The districts do not have the resources and students are primarily getting advice from their social circle of friends – it’s the rare student that gets quality time from guidance personnel,” he said. Binder’s advice to parents is for them to recognize the need to be equally involved in their child’s application process and apply a serious business approach into “the college search.” He compares the course of action with applying for a job, and using the same techniques to look for a college fit. Binder’s keys to success in admissions and throughout a college career is to focus on what the kids want to major in and what the arc of career preparation will be. “If you do not know what you want to

major in let’s discuss the environment in which you will thrive. Some students do better taking notes and studying back in their dorm or in a library, others need environments where they can participate more in each class. In some colleges they assign both a regular counselor and career advisors to each student from day one, insisting on meetings once a month, and in colleges no one would notice if a student missed class for a month. Some students need nurturing and others are totally independent and don’t need any nurturing. If a student is at one of the extremes let’s find one of the right colleges for you because the last thing you want to do is go to the wrong school because you will hate it when you get there. I encourage students to focus on the right school for them because if they do, they’ll have a great chance of getting in if you show them why you are perfect for them,” Binder says. Parents and students need to ask themselves about what programs, activities and learning opportunities they value most and how their search for the right college should begin with this in mind. “Students might say I don’t want to go to Binghamton or Rochester and they tell me it’s because there is nothing to do. I say ‘what is it you want to do?’ and they answer they prefer to be near a large city. If I ask them when the last time the student and their friends did something in New York, usually they’re spending time in and around Syosset or going to the mall. The physical location of choosing a college should be about the education first and foremost – let’s really think about what is important for education,” Binder said. The November 6 Syosset Library seminar, at 225 South Oyster Bay Road, will be followed by a November 8 seminar at Manhasset Library and a November 15 seminar at Cold Spring Harbor Library. All the library events are free admission. For more information call 516-367-6625, visit online at YCNavigator.com or at Binder’s office 575 Underhill Blvd, Suite 190 in Syosset.

Jericho’s Parent University leads to positive dialogue

From page 12 demics and social- emotional learning. The opportunities for me and board members to learn from administration and the school district staff has been ongoing. Once I got more involved with the district in roles of the PTA, I found out more about this wonderful community as we are so diverse here,” she said. Once Krieger described the nature of the board’s policy formulation, Wasserman-Heath said the policies that come up for discussions are integral to the community’s involvement. The board noted that once a month various policies usually come up to the board level

for discussions at its meetings. Krieger mentioned that the Jericho district policy manual is available online and the district does update it regularly. “We have a company we work with that sends us legal updates because some policy must come directly from law, and there are other policies we develop,” Krieger explained. Her example for a policy coming directly under the law was students’ use of sunscreen at schools, which the district had to follow. Citron said while the digital resource is readily available, parents can contact and email the school board and district if they have questions on the 588-page policy manual.

In her comments at Parent University, Wasserman-Heath spoke of her gradual gains in experience with the district. Today she is the mom of an eleventh grader and a seventh grader, but her as her children grew she climbed the ladder to the board, from school PTA president to the vice president of the Jericho Joint Council of PTA’s. As she became more involved in connected, she made the successful run for school board trustee in spring 2017. With her work part-time as a licensed clinical psychologist, on Parent University night she described balance and integration of her career in helping people who suffered from trauma and

adolescents who suffer from anxiety or depression. Wasserman-Heath says she loves participating with the school board to make sure members of the community have a voice, are met with understanding on different subjects, and families can turn to board members “who can feel their pain.” “One reason I decided to run for the board was that I care about my community and what they have to say. I want to help be that link between the administration and school board and our community – I am proud of that,” Wasserman-Heath said, brining on loud applause from the audience of parents.

Robbins Lane Second Grade Rec Night

On Friday, September 15, 2017, the Robbins Lane PTA hosted its Second Grade “Rec Night.” During the school year, the PTA hosts a Rec Night for each grade in which children from a particular grade are invited to the school gym for an evening of physical activities with students and parents in their respective grade. The kids participated in various relay races and activities including basketball, hockey, “giant egg” (i.e., soccer ball) in a giant

spoon (i.e., lacrosse stick), and go-cart races to name a few. The highlight of the evening was the all-important tug-of-war with the children battling against their parents! This year’s second grade class walked away with bragging rights, easily defeating their parents! Two fathers co-chaired the event with the help of parent volunteers. It was a huge success and an overall great start to the school year.

All star smiles
