HICKSVILLE STREET FAIR

BY GARY SIMEONE

New Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino (center) attended the Hicksville Chamber of Commerce’s 15th Annual Street Fair, which recently took place at Kennedy Park. The fair attracted thousands of visitors and brought together the business community and area residents.Supervisor Saladino was joined by Vision Long Island Director Eric Alexander (second from left), Hicksville Chamber of Commerce President Lionel Chitty (third from left) and other members of the Hicksville Chamber of Commerce in celebrating another successful street fair that has brought the community together.

Plainview author details area’s history

Plainview resident, Thomas Carr, has always had a strong interest in the area that he’s lived in for the past sixty years. On July 25th, Carr gave a presentation at the Plainview- Old Bethpage Public Library, detailing his new book, “Images of America: Plainview-Old Bethpage” which tells the intriguing story of two Long Island communities that share a 300 year old history. Carr gathered over 200 photographs for his book showing the once quaint farming communities of Plainview and old Bethpage and how the two towns came to share a school system, library, Fire Department and water district.

Carr said that he wrote the book after recently retiring from a 43 year broadcasting career. “I’ve always had a love for history and after I retired, I decided to explore the history of my town,” said Carr. “I’ve always wondered what this area was like 100 to 200 years ago and how people lived their life back then.” He said that he researched different publishing houses and ended up sending a proposal to Arcadia Publishing, who agreed that a book about the history of Old Bethpage and Plainview was a worthy topic. The book details the first inhabitants of the area who were Native

Americans and than onto the colonial settlers who changed the area into an agricultural community. It tells the story of how Plainview- Old Bethpage transformed from a small farming area to a vibrant suburban community. “In 1950 Plainview had a population of 1,115 and a single two room schoolhouse before the suburban population exploded,” said Carr. “In a little over ten years the community added 7,950 homes, 30,000 people, 11 schools, numerous shopping centers, several houses of worship and a hospital.” Carr gathered the photos for his See page 7

There was a good turnout for the grand opening of the new ShopRite grocery store on July 25th. The 68,000 square foot facility located at 1675 Old Country Road, will serve as a retail anchor for the Country Pointe at Plainview condominium development which is set to open in November. Oyster Bay Town Supervisor, Joe Saladino, Town councilman, Louis Imbroto and Nassau County Legislator, Arnold Drucker attended the event as well as representatives from the Greenfield family who own ShopRite and representatives from the Beechwood Organization, which is heading up the Country Pointe project. Legislator Drucker, a lifelong resident of Plainview, said that he is overjoyed that Greenfield family decided to open a new store location in his hometown. “The Greenfield family is an institution in our community and I’m elated to be part of this great investment,” said Drucker. “Our County is proud that the Greenfield’s have planted their roots here. This store is absolutely state of the art and will be a great service to our residents of Plainview and surrounding areas.” The new Shoprite will feature a kosher bakery, a specialized deli that serves kosher meat products and prepared food departments. Visitors to the store will find freshly baked products and seafood and meat departments that are stocked with daily deliveries. There is also a full service pharmacy on the premises as well as an in store dietician, who will be available for free, one on one consultations. “This site is the culmination of four generations of our family in the food business,” said John Greenfield, owner of four other Shoprite’s on the Island. “We are a family business and are excited to be part of this great new development and the larger family at Country Pointe.” Councilman, Imbroto said that he has been shopping his entire life at Shoprite stores. “They offer you that personal touch that other stores don’t have and have a reputation of having a community oriented nature,” said Imbroto. “People come from all over See page 7

Major General Anthony P. German, the Adjutant General, has announced the recent reenlistment of a local resident as a member of the New York State National Guard in recognition of their continuing commitment to serve community, state and nation as part of the Army National Guard. Sergeant Anthony Wevers from Levittown, has reenlisted to continue service with the 42nd Infantry Division Band. “New Yorkers count on our Citizen Soldiers to be ready and be there when disaster strikes,” German said. “And

our nation counts on our Soldiers when duty calls for overseas service. I congratulate our members for choosing to stay in service and striking that balance between military duties, education or employment commitments and family obligations.” “Every one of the men and women serving in our 16,000 strong Army and Air National Guard plays an important role and these Soldiers who continue to reenlist provide experience and continuity for whatever challenges lay ahead for our New York National Guard family.”

“Shootout for Soldiers”

New Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino (right) recently hosted “Shootout for Soldiers” a 24-Hour Lacrosse Game Benefit at the Town of Oyster Bay’s Field of Dreams. The Shootout for Soldiers is an annual 24 hour lacrosse event that benefits veterans and active duty military personnel. Supervisor Saladino stated, “Shootout for Soldiers is a terrific game that provides local lacrosse players a chance to enjoy a sport they love in a unique way while also raising funds to benefit the brave men and women of the United States Armed Forces.” The charitable funds raised at Shootout for Soldiers will benefit the Semper Fi Fund, the Ranger Lead the Way Fund, the Gary Sinise Foundation and the Joseph J. Theinert Memorial Fund. This year, approximately $127,000 was raised in support of organizations that benefit our troops. In addition, the Long Island Air Force Association conducted a special ceremony to honor Vietnam veterans and present them with medals that commemorate their service in the conflict. Supervisor Saladino was joined by members of the All Veterans Group, a group of active and retired military members, who use parachute demonstrations and skydiving to promote patriotism and veteran issues.

New Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and Councilwoman Michele Johnson today announced plans to remodel restroom and shower facilities at Town pools in time for the next summer season and showcased recent upgrades, including new 50x20 foot cantilever sunshades, umbrellas and picnic tables as well as new lounge and dining chairs. Town pools are open through Labor Day, and hours of operation were recently extended by the Town Board to accommodate working families. Supervisor Saladino stated, “Town pools have become a backyard oasis for many young families and seniors. My administration is proud to have enhanced our facilities with new lounge chairs and sunshades, and we will move forward with plans to remodel restroom and shower facilities so next season is even more comfortable than this one.” The Department of Public Works is currently in the planning stage for restroom and shower improvements at the

Town’s four community pools. Renovations will include upgrading fixtures from stainless steel to porcelain, including toilets and sinks. New faucets, showers, partitions, piping and electrical work will be undertaken by Town employees. “As a mother with young children, I know how important it is for families to have a fun and comfortable place to keep cool all summer long,” said Councilwoman Johnson. “These new amenities – and plans for improved bathrooms – make spending a day at one of our Town pools even more wonderful while building summer memories with family and friends that will last for a lifetime.” Hours of operation were recently extended beyond 7:00pm at the following locations and all resident pass-holders are welcome to visit any pool during this extended timeframe: • Mondays until 8:30pm Plainview-Old Bethpage Community Park; • Tuesdays until 8:30pm

Plainview family helps raise money for a good cause BY GARY SIMEONE

This was the first year that five year old Micah Bennet was allowed to participate in the annual Damon Runyon 5k Race at Yankee stadium in the Bronx. He and his seven year old brother, Eytan, along with their father, Marc, participated in the race, which took place on July 15th, and raised over $5,000 for cancer research. The two brothers, both Elementary school students in Plainview, were part of a team called the Bluebirds in Pinstripes. The team, made up of various people from the Long Island area, raised over $16,000 and was the top fundraiser at the event. “We have been participating in this event for five years and it is really a great thing having a hundred percent of all the proceeds go to cancer research,” said Debra Bennet, mother of Eytan and Micah and Associate Rabbi at Temple Chaverim. Bennet said that her family got involved in the 5k event through a fami-

ly friend who had lost her best friend to cancer a few years ago. “My friend, Sharon Fraade, who is the leader of Bluebirds in Pinstripes, got us all involved in this thing five years ago. She came up with the name of our team after writing a poem about bluebirds after her friends death. She is a very inspirational person.” The significance of pinstripes in the name is attributable to the New York Yankees baseball team. The Damon Runyon 5k takes place each year in mid July and more than 1,000 people including runners, walkers, cancer survivors and their friends and family participate in the event. It’s the only run of its kind that uses Yankee Stadium as its course. Since it’s inception, the event has raised over $4.5 million for the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation.

Plainview author details area’s history

From page 1 book from multiple sources including collections from the POB Library, the Nassau County Department of Parks, Recreation and museum’s, National archives, historical societies and private collections. “The Library does have a wonderful local history collection that contains old photographs, manuscripts and other material. It was very helpful but I still had to do a lot of research and try to find other resources for stories, photographs, maps and documents.” As far as what he wants for people to get out of his book, Carr said that he believes new and long time residents, young and old will discover facts about their hometown they didn’t know. He said that younger residents who only know Plainview as a modern community will enjoy seeing photos and reading about the farmers working the land where their houses stand today. “I’m sure they’ll be fascinated to learn about school life decades ago, where several grades shared one big classroom in the early part of the twentieth century and years later during the suburban explosion when there were often more than 40 children from just one grade in one classroom,” said Carr. Carr said that he has another book in the making about the lives of the people who once lived in the area that over 30,000 people call home. ‘Images of America: Plainview-Old Bethpage’ can be purchased through Friends of the Library at a price of $17.

On Turning 65 BY BOB MORGAN, JR.

In a few days, I will be attaining the rather ripe old age of 65. Like it or not, I will be eligible for Medicare and more senior citizen discounts. A few thoughts on this rather dubious milestone. When I was younger, I thought that old people felt, well, old. But now that I am on the cusp of being included in the elderly group, I find that this really isn’t the case. Although there are some more than obvious signs of physical decline (to take one of many, my eyesight isn’t nearly as good as it was 40 years ago), overall I don’t feel much different than I have in recent years. While I can’t stay up until 2 and in the morning and then rally for work, as I could in my twenties, I don’t feel the need to pack it in early in the evening either. So far, thank God, I have been blessed with good health. As I mentioned a few months ago, I have gone on a major diet and that has increased my energy and also improved my sleep. I actually take fewer naps than I did five or ten years ago. I also don’t have any immediate plans to retire. I like what I do as an attorney and I like the opportunity to engage in political and community activities as well as to write this column. I guess the time to end my business career will come in the next few years, but I really would have to rethink how I spend my day. Working provides considerable structure in my life. I certainly don’t feel ready for a retirement community or the 4:30 blue plate dinner special. On the other hand, a colleague who retired a few years ago at age 64, an avid skier and golfer, had something of a point when he said that he would be able to enjoy his pastimes far better at his chosen retirement age than he ever would

ten years later. I’m not nearly as athletic as this fellow, but it does make sense to take advantage of retirement years. So I I’m not planning on working to the end. I don’t think you get smarter as you get older, but it is possible that you get wiser. At a minimum I feel like I am less excitable than I was in my younger day and significantly more patient, with more of an inclination to give people the benefit of the doubt. I also like to think that the advice you give gets better with age. Obviously, I don’t know what the future will bring. I don’t discuss my personal life in this column (I will mention if I or a family member gets married or engaged, but that’s it). However, it would be nice to spend my older years remarried to someone special, but that remains to be seen. It has been the source of considerable gratification that my son, now 23, has turned into a mature and thoughtful young man. Of course, there is also a grim reality associated with turning 65, which cannot be wiped away by sugar-plated terms like senior citizen or golden years. Mortality (ok, death) is not that far away. According to the actuary table, the life expectancy for a 65 year old male is 17.9 years, still a while away, but only as close to now as 1999. Yes, the actuary table is just a mathematical estimate, but, putting aside religious beliefs, no one has ever left the planet alive. At some point, like everyone else, I will be just a memory, hopefully later rather than sooner. I want to enjoy the experience of the years to come, but I also want those who remember me to believe that I made at least some positive impact on their lives and on the community as a whole. And, yes, I’m looking forward to a birthday drink.

Golf outing supports ACLD of Bethpage

Long Islanders are invited to show their support for people with disabilities at Bethpage-headquartered Adults and Children with Learning and Developmental Disabilities Foundation (ACLD) Annual Golf Outing honoring Michael Crisci, Owner of L&M Painting.

SUNY students at Bahamas research program

Levittown student studies fisheries in Bahamas in research course Maia, Roseval, of Levittown, recently returned from a month-long study abroad trip in the Bahamas, where she learned about fishery management issues. Roseval is one of six students enrolled in Biology 296, a Directed Research course called CCRABSS: Creating Collaboration in Research Among Bahamian and SUNY Oneonta Students. The data the students collected will aid in determining land crab fishery stock abundance on North Andros Island as a means of enabling longterm, sustainable harvests of this economically and culturally important species, according to trip leader, SUNY Oneonta biology Lecturer Tami LaPilusa. Roseval is majoring in Environmental Science at SUNY Oneonta. The students surveyed 5,000 square meters of land crab habitat, counted and measured hundreds of land crab burrows, explored a handful of Blue

Holes, enjoyed 28 sunrises from Forfar Beach, and learned how challenging field work can be, even in a tropical paradise. Students volunteered with Forfar Field Station, The Bahamas Agricultural and Marine Science Institute, and The Bahamas National Trust, conducting locally and nationally impactful service projects. While in The Bahamas, the students wrote regular blog posts, letting friends and family at home know about their experiences. They spoke about seeing the effects of Hurricane Matthew, trying new foods, such as plantains, snorkeling and seeing aquatic organisms, and being thankful for amenities they take for granted at home. LaPilusa said the students succeeded in accomplishing their research goals and “even had a little bit of fun along the way.” “I can say that each one had significant personal growth during our adventure,” she said.

Dean Halbohn of Levittown, graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Health Science from Castleton University following the successful completion of the spring semester in May 2017.

Mansions on Fifth Historic Boutique Hotel in Pittsburgh’s Shadyside Lets You Reside in Gilded Age Splendor BY KAREN RUBIN

The jaw-dropping grand Mansion on Fifth, in Pittsburgh’s tony Shadyside neighborhood, home to Carnegie, Frick and other celebrated industrialists and bankers, now a boutique hotel where you get to feel as if you were transported back to the Gilded Age © 2017 Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com

I return to Pittsburgh when I come back to do my second Railsto-Trails Sojourn on the Great Allegheny Passage, a fantastic rail-trail that stretches across Western Pennsylvania, from Cumberland, Md. to Pittsburgh, this time a longer trip, 150 miles, that finishes on the Montour Trail (see stories, 7/7, 7/14). I had been dazzled by Pittsburgh on my first visit a year ago and the same is true this time. It is no wonder that this city, built on steel and coal, rejuvenated, revitalized, has been named one of America’s most liveable cities. What is best about it is how it retained the best of old and new. This time, as luck would have it, I choose a historic hotel, Mansions on Fifth, that is in the tony Shadyside neighborhood, a short walk away from the Carnegie Museums and the Cathedral of Learning, so that my all-too-brief time in this glorious city is spent immersed in the city’s leading cultural attractions that I had not been able to visit a year ago. It also puts me right into the Gilded Age part of Pittsburgh’s

story, almost literally in the footsteps of the Industrialists, Moguls and Robber Barons who so dominated American society and politics, immortalized by the legacies they left: Andrew Carnegie, Henry Clay Frick, George Westinghouse, Andrew Mellon. Mansions on Fifth – which is actually two neighboring mansion homes that have been converted into a boutique hotel - is the sort of place that when you pull up, your jaw drops. And for the brief time that you are here, you feel what it must have been like to be part of Pittsburgh’s upper-crust, the society of industrial titans. You know how historic places being “living history” places because of people? That’s what you feel like when you stay and inhabit these rooms, continuing the life and spirit of these structures that seem to have a life of their own and stories to tell. People come and go, after all, but these structures remain, albeit in the care of stewards who take on the awesome responsibility. (Whenever I travel, I first check out Historic Hotels of America’s site, historichotels.org, to see if there is a member property because the experience is always extraordinary; for my last visit, I stayed at the Omni William Penn Hotel, an iconic property right downtown. Mansions on Fifth used to be an HHA member, prior to being acquired in 2016 by Priory Hospitality Group, Pittsburgh’s premier owner, operator and developer of independent

hotels and event spaces. Among its other holdings, Priory Hospitality Group owns and operates the Priory Hotel and Grand Hall at the Priory on Pittsburgh’s North Shore.) Indeed, Mansions on Fifth puts you right back into Pittsburgh’s history and its story: “The late 1890’s and early 1900’s were in many ways Pittsburgh’s golden age, measured by prosperity and economic might, if not by a clean environment. Pittsburgh was a financial and industrial powerhouse as well as a center of river and rail transportation. In 1900, Pittsburgh produced more than half of the crucible steel in the nation, and by 1910, it was the eighth most populous city in the country. “It was also a time where giants of the business world traversed Shadyside’s Fifth Avenue – ‘Millionaire’s Row’ – on a daily basis. Names such as Carnegie, Mellon, Frick, Westinghouse and Heinz were among the leading citizens of the day.” This 20,000 sq. ft. mansion was built in the early 1900s by Willis F. McCook, a prosperous attorney and legal counsel to steel and coke magnate Henry Clay Frick for himself, his wife Mary and their 10 children. McCook was most famous for having represented Frick, but he was highly accomplished in his own right, the notes show. “A groundbreaker in modern day corporate law, McCook studied law at Columbia University following his graduation from Yale in 1873. He was also a pioneering athlete, serving

as captain of Yale’s first football team and playing in the first intercollegiate football game in the nation. Later in life, he served as president and director of the Pittsburgh Steel Company, and was a partner in the law firm McCook & Jarrett. He died in 1923 at the age of 72.” Here among the leafy green trees on a hilltop, it is easy to imagine how clean and cool the air was in comparison to the choking atmosphere of the steel mills that shrouded the city below. This was heaven befitting these massively successful titans; that was hell. While his mansion was being built, McCook’s daughter Bessie became engaged, so he contracted to build a more modest (but still spacious at 8,000 square feet) home adjacent to his own. The smaller mansion (now the Mansions on Fifth Hotel’s Amberson House) was completed first, and the main house (now called the Fifth Avenue House), was finished in 1906. The two mansions were designed in the Elizabethan Revivalist and Tudor styles by the architectural firm Carpenter & Crocker, of Pittsburgh’s East End. Many of the firm’s other projects, which range from Florida to Washington state, exist today, including the iconic Trinity Cathedral Parish House in downtown Pittsburgh. The contractor on the McCook estate was Thomas Reilly, who also built the massive and magnificent St. Paul’s Cathedral just down Fifth Avenue from the estate. Reilly also worked with Carpenter & Crocker on the Parish

House at Trinity Cathedral. “McCook and his designers and builders spared no expense, using some of the finest craftsmen of the era, including master ironworker Cyril Colnik (fixtures and decorative items), Rudy Brothers Art Glass (leaded and stained glass installations), and Rookwood Ceramic Tile (for the decorative tile around the fireplaces in the houses). The stunning carved wood in the Grand Hall of the Fifth Avenue House was produced by Woolaeger Manufacturing of Milwaukee. The total cost of the project was $300,000 in 1906 ($7.6 million in today’s dollars). After McCook died in1923, the family continued to live in the main mansion through the 1930’s. But the Great Depression took its toll and the family was unable to keep current with their property taxes. Seized for sheriff’s sale by the Allegheny County Sheriff’s Department, the mansion was purchased in 1949 by Emil Bonavita, Sr. and his wife Margaret for $28,000. The Bonavitas moved into the mansion with their two children, Emil, Jr. and Charles. As a way to pay for upkeep for the massive building, the Bonavitas rented out rooms on the upper floors to students at nearby Carnegie Mellon University. Students were thoroughly screened, and many of those attracted to the historic property were studying at CMU’s prominent arts and theater schools. According to Pittsburgh PostGazette architecture writer Patricia

She lived in the home from the time of her marriage until her staircase of the Mansion on Fifth to one of the cozy sitting areas in front of a fireplace passing in 1966.

screened, and many of those attracted to the historic property were studying at CMU’s prominent arts and theater schools. According to Pittsburgh PostGazette architecture writer Patricia Lowry, tenants included Albert Brooks, Andy Warhol, Shirley Jones and George Peppard. Margaret, who acted as a house mother to the many students who resided at the home over the years, resided in the McCook mansion until her much mourned death in 2003. Bessie McCook Reed, for whom the Amberson House was built in 1905, lived in the home from the time of her marriage until her passing in 1966. Three years later, Emil Bonavita, Jr. and his wife Marie acquired the Amberson House and moved in to raise their family of four children. Emil and Marie also assisted in the boarding operations at the larger Fifth Avenue House. In 2004, the Fifth Avenue House, the main mansion, sustained a devastating fire which caused extensive damage to the upper floors. The building became uninhabitable, andcould no longer house the students. Emil and Marie looked to sell the damaged mansion to a purchaser who would restore it. Pittsburgh preservationists, husband and wife Mary Del Brady and

Richard Pearson, acquired both houses of the former McCook estate from the Bonavitas for $1.5 million. Their idea was to redevelop the property into a boutique hotel and event center. Restoration and repair work, which was extensive given the fire damage, began in January 2010. The Fifth Avenue House, the primary mansion, was completed in early 2011 and opened to the public in March of that year with 13 guest rooms and suites, the grand hall event space, a library, the Oak Room pub, and two private dining rooms. The adjacent Amberson House, with 9 guest rooms and suites, opened in November 2012. The total cost exceeded $8 million. The properties were recognized as an historic landmark by the National Trust for Historic Preservation in 2012. New Era for Mansions on Fifth In late September 2016, Pittsburghbased boutique hotel owner/operator Priory Hospitality Group acquired the operating assets of the Mansions on Fifth Hotel and assumed operations of the Shadyside property. Owned and operated by the Graf family since 1986, the Priory Hospitality Group’s properties include the award winning Priory Hotel (a Tripadvisor Hall of Fame member), Grand Hall at the Priory event facility (Best Wedding Venue – City Paper 2016; Best of the Knot 2006-2016;

The Good Old Days? BY MARION LAMBERSON LEISTMAN

I have fond memories of the 1937 to 1950 time period. It was a time when life was simple, a time of feeling safe in small town America. We kids, unsupervised, could walk in the woods and wade in the stream, play in empty lots, sleigh ride on hills at a nearby estate. We could take a bus to the shopping district and meander around, just for something to do. We played hide and seek through the backyards, and we rode our bikes around town. We enjoyed the neighborhood conviviality when every household on the block sat on their front stoops until the house cooled down enough to consider going to bed. Being allowed to stay up late was a bonus. Not remembered fondly was that while we were chatting, we were constantly swatting mosquitos. Our stoop time was reduced when window exhaust fans became popular, as the hot air was expelled and cool air from outside was drawn in. The cool air made it possible to sleep, but the mosquitos came in with us and when I was awakened by buzzing, I had to get up and check the walls. If I went back to bed without finding the culprit, I would surely wake again to the buzzing sound around my head. Now I sleep comfortably on

the hottest summer nights because of the wonderful invention of air conditioning. I am not awakened by hungry mosquitos because Nassau County Mosquito Control has practically eradicated them. My mother was an excellent cook and baker, turning out delicious roasts, pies, cakes, and cookies. I remember so well seeing her stick her hand in the oven to ascertain when it had reached the correct temperature. Fortunately, by the time I began to cook, an oven that could be set for the appropriate temperature had been invented. I don’t think I would be so adept at hand temperature control as Mom was. Now my wall oven preheats to the desired temperature, beeps to let me know when that temperature is reached, and I can set an alarm to go off when cooking time is finished. Cleaning the oven with gooey cleaners was messy, hard work, and a task Mom hated and I hated for the many years I had to do it. Now when the oven needs cleaning, I just push some buttons and the job is done for me. No more fretting over overflowed blueberry pie! I save energy by using my toaster oven instead of the big oven. I marvel at how swiftly my microwave oven

heats food. When I was a child, flypaper hung in the kitchen and we had a flyswatter at the ready to swat the annoying flies; now, as with mosquitos, I am never bothered with them. We didn’t have a telephone until World War II ended, and then all that was available was a four person party line. If you wanted to make a call and someone was already using the line, you had to wait. Also, the other parties could listen in on all your conversations. Not an ideal situation, but better than nothing. What a relief when at last we had our own private line. The original rotary dial phones eventually were upgraded to push-button phones. Now I have a phone with caller ID

that tells me who is calling and voice mail that takes messages when I am not available. In addition, I have a cell phone that I can carry with me wherever I go, so that I have the peace of mind of knowing that in an emergency I am able to quickly communicate the problem. When I was a child, the radio brought news and entertainment into our homes. We listened intently to programs such as The Lone Ranger, I Love a Mystery, The green Hornet, Fibber McGee and Molly, Fred Allen, Jack Benny. We listened to the news when we ate Sunday night supper, and one unforgettable Sunday evening we See page D6

Explaining Medicare Card Codes BY TOM MARGENAU

Q: My wife and I are both on Social Security and Medicare. Her Medicare card has my Social Security number with a “B” after it. When I die, I know she will get widow’s benefits. But will she continue to get Medicare on my record? A: Yes, she will continue to get Medicare on your record. The only thing that will change is that she will get a new Medicare card, still with your Social Security number, but this time with a letter “D” behind it. The Medicare people simply use the Social Security claim number as your Medicare number. Currently, your wife is claiming benefits on your account. “B” is the symbol the Social Security Administration uses to denote wife’s benefits. When you die, your wife will be claiming widow’s benefits on your record. And “D” is the symbol SSA uses for widow’s benefits. Q: Can you explain the little letter symbols the Medicare people use on our Medicare cards? A: I put your question here on purpose because it nicely dovetails into what I wrote in the last answer. As I said, your Medicare number simply mirrors your Social Security claim number. And the little letter symbols behind the SSN signify various kinds of Social Security benefits. SSA calls them BICs. That stands for beneficiary identification codes. They run from A to W. And many of them have subsets, like B2 and C3, etc. So I simply don’t have the space to get into all of them. I will just give the most common ones. --A: retirement benefits. --B: wife’s benefits. --B6: divorced wife’s benefits. --C: child’s benefits. --D: widow’s benefits. --D6: divorced widow’s benefits. --E: mother’s benefits (widows under age 60 with minor children). Q: I am 67 and getting widow’s benefits from Social Security. My own retirement benefit was small -- only $455 per month. My widow’s rate is $2,175. In a prior column, you told a woman in a situation similar to my own that she was actually getting benefits from both her own and her husband’s Social Security account. I’d like to know if that’s true in my case, too. Can you prove it to me? A: The easiest way of proving it would be to check your Medicare card. I will bet my next pension check that it shows your number with a letter “A” behind it. (This woman got back to me and, sure enough, her Medicare card has her number with an “A.”) As mentioned above, the Medicare number reflects your Social Security claim number. So that means you are claiming retirement benefits on your own Social

Security record. That’s your primary Social Security account. Then they are supplementing your retirement with the extra widow’s benefits you are due. Or to put that another way, you are getting $455 in retirement benefits and $1,720 in widow’s benefits to take your total monthly income from Social Security up to your $2,175 full widow’s rate. Q: I just turned 70 and I am so confused about my Medicare card. It started out with my own Social Security number followed by the letter “T.” Then for several years, I had a card with my husband’s number followed by a “B.” And just recently, I got a new Medicare card -- and it’s back to my Social Security number, but this time with an “A” behind it. It’s confusing enough for me. I can’t imagine how it is messing up the Medicare billing clerks! What’s going on? A: What’s going on is that your Social Security claims situation has changed over the years. When you were 65, you signed up for Medicare only. Because you weren’t claiming any benefits, there was no claim number to add to your Medicare card. So they simply used your own Social Security number with the letter “T” behind it. The “T” originally stood for something else in the SSA BIC code dictionary. But it became useful in these situations. So think of it as meaning “temporary.” When you turned 66, you must have employed the “file and restrict” maximizing strategy, claiming wife’s benefits on your husband’s record with plans to save your own retirement benefits until age 70. So between age 66 and 70, you were claiming wife’s benefits on your husband’s Social Security account. That’s why your Medicare card during those years had his number with a “B” behind it -- the code for wife’s benefits. When you reached age 70, you switched to your own retirement benefits, getting the 132 percent rate payable to folks who delay filing for retirement until 70. So now, your Medicare number switches back to your own Social Security number, but this time with an “A” behind it denoting the fact that you are getting retirement benefits. By the way, the decision to use the Social Security claim number as the Medicare number dates back to the 1960s when the federal health insurance program began. At that time, nobody was playing games with their Social Security benefits, switching back and forth from one account to another. So it made perfect sense to just adopt the Social Security claim number as the Medicare number. For a while now, there has been some talk of setting up a completely separate numbering system for Medicare cards. But I don’t think those plans will go anywhere for two reasons. One: Who

wants to add another government ID number to the list of things they have to remember? And two: These maximizing strategies are going away in a couple years, so people will no longer be switching back and forth from one Social Security account to another. And

The Good Old Days? C ontinued from page D3 heard that Pearl Harbor was attacked. Now I watch a flat-screened television in color. With my DVR I can record programs that broadcast in the middle of the night and watch them at my convenience, and I can watch DVDs and tapes. My parents both drove our 1937 Willys Overland with a stick shift, but if automatic shifts hadn’t been invented and I had to use a manual shift, I don’t know if I could ever have driven. It certainly would have been a struggle, and turning the wheel was not easy until power steering came along. I learned to type on a standard Underwood typewriter. I had to pound the keys and forcefully push the return lever. If a mistake was made, it had to be carefully erased and typed over so that it was undetectable. When I went back to work years later, electric typewriters had been invented. That was a big improvement which necessitated retraining myself to use a very light touch. Then came the invention of dedicated word processors, with the ability to make mistakes disappear. This was a typist’s dream come true. Today I have

word processing on my multifaceted computer. I can compose documents, easily make changes to them, store them, and restore them. With email I communicate with family and friends instantaneously. I can obtain information on any subject from the search engine Google, and I get comprehensive up-to-minute news from my home page. I marvel at how the computer can talk to me. If I make a typo when googling, it asks if that is what I meant to say. I sometimes think there is a teeny little man inside my skinny machine. I also talk to the computer, or rather I scream at it, when it doesn’t seem to understand me. Usually, though, we get along fine and it is indispensable to me. How could I not miss the bygone days of swimming in the nearby pristine beaches, lakes, and ponds. How could I not miss the days when a group of kids unaccompanied by an adult could go to a 25 cent movie on a Saturday afternoon. How could I not miss the scent of the clean, fresh air we breathed. I would like to go back to such a time, but only if I could take with me my television, microwave oven, cell phone, the ubiquitous computer, and most indispensable, air conditioning!

Keep Your Cool in the Heat of Summer BY MARY HUNT It’s summer, and it’s a scorcher in my time zone -- 103 degrees F. But the heat where I live, in northern Colorado, is dry -- only 10 percent humidity. I know, you’re laughing -- as if 103 degrees and dry were any more tolerable than a more humid 103. Actually, it is, or so the weather experts tell us. As the summer heat continues to bear down across the U.S., millions of window-mounted air conditioners are getting a real workout. Chris Hall, president of RepairClinic.com, says his company is ready for the seasonal spike in questions from consumers who are wondering why their AC unit isn’t working properly. In many instances, consumers can rectify the problem themselves if they have the right advice. Hall says: “More than any other household appliance, air conditioning units are often neglected. This is a pity because they are big energy users and a little maintenance means that homeowners can save money on both utility

and repair bills.” His company provides consumers with the information and parts they need to fix their appliances themselves. “If the unit does stop working, we can often save consumers a visit from a repair technician,” he says. All residential window air conditioners have a cooling system consisting of four primary components: a compressor, an evaporator, a temperature-sensing device and a condenser. Air conditioner cooling systems are better understood if you think of them more as a device that removes heat and humidity from the air than a device that cools the air. These are the essential maintenance steps you should take to keep your window-mounted air conditioning unit operating in tiptop condition while using the least amount of energy: 1. Every month during the months of operation, replace (or clean) the filter located in the front grill. 2. The condensing coils on an air conditioner get very dirty, and the dirt tends to accumulate on the

inside of the coils (out of sight). Once a year, remove the entire cover of the air conditioner to gain access to the coils, and then clean them by blowing compressed air on them or scrubbing with a soft bristle brush. 3. Don’t despair if you’ve accidentally bent the aluminum fins on the rear of the unit. RepairClinic will send you a handy fin-straightening comb for $2. And here are expert answers to the top three dilemmas: --A motor is running, but no air is blowing. Air conditioners have two motors: the compressor and the fan motor. It is possible that only one is running. If after removing the cover of the unit you discover the fan blade is very stiff and difficult to rotate, the fan motor may need oiling or to be replaced. --Water leaks from the front of the unit. This is normal. All air conditioners should be installed so they tilt slightly backward to allow for proper removal of condensed water that accumulates. The air smells musty. Air conditioners remove moisture from the

air. Most of it is evaporated from the unit. However, it is possible for some water to stagnate in the base of the air conditioner. Also, dirt, lint or dust can collect in the water pan at the base of the unit and absorb water, allowing mold and mildew to grow. All this leads to bad smells. Thoroughly clean the water pan each year when you clean the condenser coils. Need more help with your window-mounted air conditioners? Check RepairClinic.com. You may find exactly what you need.

Students in the Levittown School District’s summer ENL Jumpstart program researched dinosaurs and created short reports.

Language learners get a head start in Levittown

A summer program in the Levittown School District that provides additional support to English as a New Language students had a new look this year. In addition to literacy instruction, the ENL Jumpstart program included science and technology classes. More than 50 students, entering kindergarten through sixth grade, enrolled in the free three-week program. They came for three hours a day, double the amount of instruction time offered in past years. Children began each day with a warm-up activity, such as coloring, before rotating through literacy,

science and technology blocks, as well as snack and movement time. In the literacy centers, younger students focused on letter identification and sounds, while older elementary students read short stories and wrote responses. They also kept daily journals. The new STEM classes, led by a middle school science teacher, included the study of the butterfly life cycle, dissection of owl pellets and building of racecars, planes and boats. Many of those activities took place in the outdoor classroom at the Levittown Memorial Education Center.

Teacher assistant Anna Lovisolo helped students entering first grade learn letter sounds.

There were also themed activities in all classes. Children learned about dinosaurs by reading books, doing computer research and creating imprints. “This program is really a bridge between last year and the upcoming school year,” said ENL teacher Carol Rimler, coordinator of the summer program. “The children really benefit because they need the continuum of

services. It’s also a nice way for them to get out and socialize.” Michele Ortiz, the district supervisor of ENL, added that the program gave incoming kindergartners the chance to learn about basic classroom routines. All students in the program also received information about obtaining a public library card to continue their literacy growth.

Jonas Salk Middle School science teacher Frank Miller worked with students as they built racecars in the STEM class.

Many of these resources and agencies are available immediately in the same room, such as American Debt Resources, LI Housing Partnership, La Fuerza Unida, and LI Housing Services. There are no income restrictions to attend the clinics. Since 2009, NCBA has held more than 160

clinics assisting more than 12,000 Nassau families in distress. Currently, each clinic averages 30 - 50 homeowners, signifying that foreclosure continues to be prevalent in Nassau. Volunteer attorneys also answer Sandy victims’ questions regarding homeowner, flood, property damage and automobile insurance claims; FEMA, debt deferral, and consumer protection issues. Bi-lingual attorneys fluent in Spanish are on site. Attorneys bi-lingual in other languages, including Russian, Haitian Creole, Korean, Chinese, Hindi and American Sign Language, may be requested when making reservations. To make an appointment for the next clinic, call the Bar Association at 516-747-4070. Attendees are asked to bring their mortgage documents or other important papers and correspondence with them. This program is funded through the NYS Attorney General Homeownership Protection Program (known as HOPP).

Levittown’s elementary school students celebrate a new academic chapter

Levittown’s elementary school students celebrated their successes during their primary years of education & now look forward to entering a future of new and more challenging academic experiences at Jonas E. Salk & Wisdom Lane MS's. As part of the district’s moving up tradition, the faculty and staff at Abbey Lane, East Broadway, Gardiners Avenue, Lee Road, Northside and Summit Lane elementary schools recognized the students with awards and celebratory speeches during their respective ceremonies. Each of the principals and honored guests dispensed words of wisdom. Abbey Lane Principal Dr. George Maurer told the students that their elementary moving up is just one of the milestones in their lives. “You will not get there alone, so along the way stop and thank the people who help you.” Northside School Principal Frank Mortillaro asked his students to “show your best” at all times, be kind and have the best day ever, while Summit Lane Principal Keith Squillacioti encouraged the students to “continue to play like a champion.” In addition, Assistant Superintendent for Instruction Todd Winch advised the students to become involved at the middle school as soon as possible. “Take all that middle school has to offer,” he remarked. “Your involvement will position you for high school.” After the ceremonial speeches, choral selections, recognitions and special readings, the students were presented oneby-one with their certificates of completion to the applause of parents and family. They then joined their families for refreshments & said goodbye to classmates for the summer recess.

Abbey Lane Elementary School students in Levittown gathered on the lawn prior to their moving up ceremony.

During Summit Lane Elementary School’s moving up ceremony, the fifth-grade chorus, under the direction of Marjorie Wade, sang Green Day’s “Time of Your Life.”

Teams of high school students from across the nation and around the world recently showcased their award-winning projects and solutions at the 2017 Spellman High Voltage Electronics Clean Tech Competition. The theme of the competition, held for the first time this year on Long Island and at Stony Brook University, was “Creating a Greener Future.” The nine finalist teams that traveled to Long Island presented their STEM-based solutions and projects for mitigating environmental challenges. The winners of the competition were selected after several rounds of judging. Winners of the com-

petition received monetary awards totaling $30,000. Plainview-Old Bethpage JFK High School Team “Super Silk” won First Place and $10,000. Team members Mses. Alyssa Iryami’s and Audrey Shine’s project was titled: Utilization of Bombyx mori in the Production of Polymeric Graphene Enhanced Supersilk. The students fed graphene to silkworms and demonstrated that the naturally produced silk was strengthened. They proved that the stronger naturally made silk could be used in many ways including making water filters. “We were honored to be selected to be in the top 10 and

win first place. It was an amazing day, just learning what all these young people have innovated,” said Iryami of team Super Silk. “Meeting people from the Philippines and Singapore has been amazing. It has been such a journey and a long year since September and we cannot believe we came this far,” added Shine of team Super Silk. The First Place team will have the opportunity to continue its relationship with a professional mentor, who will advise and assist the team in furthering its work and education. The winning team will also work with the US Patent Office to get

their idea into the real world. “These students are ambassadors for STEM and I am confident that their compassion, commitment and ingenuity will bring to life how clean tech can make a difference in our world,” said Fotis Sotiropoulos, Dean of the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Stony Brook University. “I am highly impressed and so encouraged by their incredible ideas for technologies that can sustain a broad range of communities and populations.” The 2017 Spellman High Voltage Electronics Clean Tech Competition is hosted and managed by Rockville Centre, New

York-based Center for Science Teaching & Learning (CSTL). CSTL is a not-for-profit organization with a mission of encouraging science learning and literacy. Awards were presented at the end of the competition, which was attended by students, parents and educators as well as media. Following the awards, teams attended a reception sponsored by Stony Brook University and later toured the University’s engineering labs. Before the competition, students visited Spellman High Voltage Electonics to see how science and technology are part of the product research, development and production process.

Student finalist teams from around the nation and world who recently competed in the 2017 Spellman High Voltage Electronics Clean Tech Competition hosted by Center for Science Teaching & Learning (CSTL) and of which Spellman High Voltage Electronics was Lead Sponsor that took place for the first time on Long Island and at Stony Brook University in Stony Brook, NY. Student Team Finalist Greener Foam of the Academy of Science and Technology from The Woodlands, Texas did not attend the final competition.
