cuse on March 10-11. After months of preparation and numerous invitational competitions on Long Island, at Yale University and in the North Poconos, the talented students

collectively won medals in 20 out of 25 events. In the New York State Finals, all four seniors on the team earned state medals. See page 25

A giant act of kindness at local school At the Stratford Road Elementary school in Plainview last Thursday evening, over 110 parents, teachers and students gathered in the school’s cafeteria for the 2017 Birthday Wishes event. This is the third year that the school partnered with the non-profit organization which

holds birthday parties for kids who are in homeless shelters. All of the families who attended the event, which was held from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. brought unwrapped gift boxes. Different stations were set up in the cafeteria as parents, teachers and students worked hard putting goody

bags together, filling out cards and blowing up balloons. Dr. Alison Clark, Principal at the Stratford Road school, said the event was a culmination of a multi-approached project within the school that focused on the theme of kindness and empathy See page 25

There have been a rash of phone calls to the Town of Oyster Bay recently from residents who are concerned about the newly installed cellular phone repeaters in their neighborhoods. From Woodbury to Syosset, residents have called in worried about the health effects of the box like repeaters being installed within feet from their homes. Oyster Bay Town Supervisor, Joe Saladino said that he hopes to quell the fear of residents by doing three things. Those things include initiating a study into the possible adverse effects of newer cellular technology, changing the law so local municipality’s can stop the installation of these devices until medical studies are completed and have a mandate that medical studies must be constantly updated. “I think it is fair for our residents especially with our ever growing technology, that we have a new study to look into the effects of these type of devices,” said Saladino. The Supervisor said he has called on his State representatives in Albany, including State Senator, Chuck Schumer and Kristen Gillibrand to look into the matter. “My stance is I’m with the residents on this and I’m not going to just blindly follow our Federal government or

big business who say that these devices are perfectly safe.” The cell phone repeaters or boosters are meant to improve reception in dropped coverage areas. They are not just a Long Island issue, as they are actively being installed in cities and towns throughout the country. Saladino said that in 1999 the Town tried taking a cell phone provider to court to prevent the building of cellular towers. “We ended up losing that trial because it was found we were without merit to try to prevent these towers from being built,” said Saladino. He said that the reasons the Town sought for preventing the building of cellular towers included health effects on nearby communities, reduction of property values and overall neighborhood aesthetics. In the meantime, he said that he feels the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) should have a moral responsibility to address the concerns of the residents. “Maybe to alleviate people’s concerns the FCC can allow people to contact their regional office and have a representative come out and test these repeaters with an RF gauge to display energy levels. Maybe hold up the gauge to one of these devices and to someone’s cell phone to compare the levels.”

The Town of Oyster Bay will host the Battle at Bethpage, a college lacrosse celebration, at Bethpage High School on Sunday, May 7 at 1 p.m., according to Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph S. Saladino. The event will feature two outstanding teams, the Duke University “Blue Devils” squaring off against the Boston University “Terriers.” “Lacrosse on Long Island is incredibly popular, and here in the Town of Oyster Bay, we are proud to partner with the Bethpage Educational Foundation and the Bethpage School District and bring to our facilities this high level collegiate lacrosse contest,” Supervisor Saladino said. “The two featured colleges are known for their academic and athletic excellence. This is sure to be a hard-fought game between collegiate powers, and I believe that seeing these premiere teams in action may inspire the Town’s young lacrosse players to further their education

through athletics.” General admission tickets to the Battle of Bethpage will be available on game day at the field with proceeds going to the Bethpage Educational Foundation, Inc. Donation for adults will be $10 and Children 12 and under will be $5. Attendees are also being asked to bring two cans of food to help support Island Harvest as part of the “LAX Fights Hungers” initiative. Supervisor Saladino said he is already looking forward to the game. “The event is set to be a great experience for the players and fans are sure to have fun rooting for their teams,” Supervisor Saladino said. “I expect those in attendance will appreciate the opportunity to see these outstanding college teams compete locally. It also is a tremendous source of pride that these high level teams will compete at our local facilities, which are among the finest in the Nation. I hope to see everyone at the game.”

Town receives transparency rating

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph S. Saladino (second from left) was recently joined by Town Officials and Reclaim New York Executive Director, Brandon Muir (right), as he held a press conference at Town Hall in Oyster Bay. Reclaim New York has named the Town of Oyster Bay a leader in online transparency and accessibility, as part of their new initiative called the New York State Transparency Project. After a recent review of the Town under the Transparency Project, Oyster Bay received a grade of nearly 80% overall, which is almost quadruple the score that the Town received before Supervisor Saladino took office.

er students at a particular school performed higher than statistically expected in that state, factoring in percentages of economically disadvantaged students. The survey also assessed whether disadvantaged students performed at or better than average for the least-advantaged students. Graduation rates higher than 75 percent and a college-readiness factor were also considered. “This recognition is a true testament to the pride and passion for success that is already embedded in the fabric of this exceptional school,” Principal Joseph Sheehan said. “This is another example of why I am so proud of every member of the MacArthur family.”

Gerald R. Claps Career and Technical Education Center Key Club Vice President José Heras and adviser Lillian Creedon unveiled a 9/11 sculpture for the Levittown community during the April 19 board of education meeting. The sculpture is displayed at the Levittown Memorial Education Center alongside the Gerald R. Claps Career and Technical Education Center’s quilt, which commemorates the 15th anniversary of Sept. 11. Both the quilt and the sculpture will be donated to the Levittown Public Library for display this coming summer. The metal artifact from the 9/11 site was donated by the New York Fire Department Fireman’s Training Center located on Randall’s Island and was a request by Key Club member José Heras, who felt the need to further educate the community about this horrific event. After José acquired the piece, he and his father, Felipe Heras, constructed a podium. The community is encouraged to reflect upon this historical event upon touching the metal.

The Trump Tax Proposals BY BOB MORGAN, JR.

President Trump has now outlined his administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tax proposals, at the moment in the form of a one-page document. Nevertheless, despite the barebones nature of the proposal, the proposed tax reductions certainly begin an important debate. The White House proposal reduces the number of tax brackets for individuals from seven to three: 10 percent, 25 percent and 35 percent. This change lowers the top rate from 39.6 percent. However, the White House has not yet said where the brackets begin and end., The alternative minimum tax (AMT), which is extremely complicated but which in essence operates as a tax of 26-28 percent on gross income (with only limited allowance of deductions), will be ended. The top federal capital gains tax is reduced from 23.8 to 20 percent by eliminating a 3.8% additional tax on investment income of higher income households. The standard deduction is increased to $15,000 for single taxpayers and $30,000 for married taxpayers. All individual deductions are eliminated, except for mortgage interest and charitable contributions. This wipes out the deduction for state and local taxes, a particular concern for taxpayers in hightax states like New York. However, lower income taxpayers are shielded from this change by proposed increases in the standard deduction and other taxpayers (particularly those in upper middle income brackets) are sheltered by the elimination of the AMT, which already excludes the state and local tax deduction in its calculation. On the business side, the top corporate rate would be lowered very substantially from 35 percent to 15 percent. In addition, assets held overseas could be repatriated to the United States during a window period and subject to a 10 percent tax. On the inheritance tax side, the entire estate tax would be repealed. Much of the proposal seems on the right track. The tax increases enacted under President Obama arguably retarded economic growth, as the economy only expanded sluggishly during a long recovery period,

while wages largely remained stagnant. United States corporate taxes are among the highest in the world, and clearly need to be scaled back and it makes sense to repatriate and tax assets held overseas. It is not unreasonable that the top one percent of earners, who currently pay more than 40 cent of income taxes and are responsible for substantial investment, will receive considerable benefits in any broad tax reduction package. Nevertheless, more details definitely need to emerge. As noted above, the biggest single uncertainty relates to the brackets under the new system. Another important question relates to timing. Many of the recently enacted tax cuts have been phased in over a number of years. Indeed, it may be prudent to assume that rate changes will be phased in over a period of two or more years, most likely starting in 2018. Another big unknown revolves around the interface between individual income tax rates and the proposed 15 percent corporate tax rate. Absent some clear limiting principles, taxpayers may take advantage of the big differential between the 15 percent corporate rate and the top individual rate of 35 percent by using passthrough entities (LLCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and the like) to shelter income normally considered compensatory income. Finally, the proposed elimination of the estate tax leaves considerable questions about the carryover basis and the gift tax. On a policy level, even allowing for some stimulative effect of the tax plan on the economy, the plan cannot be allowed to create big increases in the deficit that ramp up the national debt, which is now at more than 100 percent of GDP. Also, it is not clear that the elimination of all itemized deductions other than charitable contributions and mortgage interest, will be fair or equitable to all taxpayers, for example those with substantial business deductions. There are some questions of equity in wiping out the estate tax. In any event, the Trump outline is the beginning of a conversation likely to result in substantial changes to our tax system.

On April 22, the MacArthur High School baseball team held the second annual Strike Out Autism Baseball Game with Plainview-Old Bethpage School District.

MacArthur HS students bring awareness of autism As students and faculty entered the halls of MacArthur High School during April, they were constantly reminded of the importance of coming together to bring awareness to autism, a disorder that affects many students and adults in the Levittown community. Art students created lanterns decorated with puzzle pieces, the iconic symbol of autism awareness, that hung on the ceilings in the main hallway. There was also a showcase of artwork created by the district’s Applied Behavior Analysis students. In addition, students and staff donned autism awareness T-shirts, whose sale annually funds the Autism Society of America. Autism Awareness Month Chairman Vince Causeman said, “The more awareness

there is, the more likely students with autism will be treated with acceptance, understanding and compassion.” On April 3, students and staff wore their T-shirts and took time to learn about autism and how it affects individuals. These activities were followed by the annual LAX for Autism games on April 15 and the second annual Strike Out Autism Baseball Game on April 22 against PlainviewOld Bethpage School District. Student-athletes also coordinated workshops to teach the district’s ABA students to play various sports throughout the month.

San Francisco Goes All Out With Special Events, Exhibitions Marking 50th Anniversary of Summer of Love

Wes Leslie’s Wild San Francisco Summer of Love Musical Walking Tour finishes only a couple of blocks down from the entrance to Golden Gate Park (see Going Places

Near & Far,4/28), which played such a role in the Hippie Movement, and where the De Young Museum is holding the Summer of Love Experience, one of the more than 60 events, exhibitions, concerts, tours and

attractions taking place during this 50th Anniversary of the cosmic 1967 event when some 100,000 young people descended on the city. So, after walking around the famous HaightAshbury district – epicenter of

the Hippie Movement – taking in the shops and scenes that slingshot you back to the 1960s, I stroll into Golden Gate Park to the museum.

San Francisco Goes All Out WithSpecial Events, Exhibitions Marking 50th Anniversary of Summer of Love Continued from page D1

The Summer of Love Experience: Art, Fashion, and Rock & Roll, on view at the De Young Museum in Golden Gate Park through August 20, 2017, is an exhilarating exhibition of iconic rock posters, photographs, interactive music and light shows, costumes and textiles, ephemera, and avant-garde films. Part of the 50th anniversary celebration of the adventurous and colorful counterculture that blossomed in the years surrounding the legendary San Francisco summer of 1967, the exhibition presents more than 300 significant cultural artifacts of the time, including almost 150 objects from the Fine Arts Museums’ extensive permanent holdings, supplemented by key, iconic loans. As you walk in, you are immediately set on the crossroads of Haight and Ashbury streets and the pins with the iconic phrases and issues that were topof-mind of the time. You literally step into the whirling dervish that was the times – psychedelic colored lights and brash, electrified music of Janis Joplin and others provide the beat and backdrop for the exhibit that includes a two-story square darkened room with colored projections of what appear to be the shapes inside a lava lamp and bean-bags to sit on. In the mid-1960s, artists, activists, writers, and musicians converged on Haight-Ashbury with hopes of creating a new social paradigm. By 1967, the neighborhood drew as many as 100,000 young people from all over the country to this tiny neighborhood, which became the epicenter for their activities, and nearby Golden Gate Park their playground. The period was marked by groundbreaking developments in art, fashion, music, and politics (captured in the images of photojournalists and street photographers), which is what is so eloquently showcased in this exhibit. Local bands such as Jefferson Airplane and the Grateful Dead were the progenitors of what would become known as the “San Francisco Sound,” music that found its visual counterpart in creative industries that sprang up throughout the region. Rock-poster artists such as Rick Griffin, Alton Kelley, Victor Moscoso, Stanley Mouse, and Wes Wilson generated an exciting array of distinctive works featuring distorted hand-lettering and vibrating colors, while wildly creative light shows, such as those by Bill Ham and Ben Van Meter, served as expressions

Distinctive codes of dress also set members of the Bay Area counterculture apart from mainstream America. Local designers began to create fantastic looks using a range of techniques and materials, including leatherwork, hand-painting, knitting and crotchet, embroidery, repurposed denim, and tiedye. These innovators included Birgitta Bjerke, aka 100% Birgitta; Mickey McGowan, aka the Apple Cobbler; Burray Olson; and Jeanne Rose – whose creations are also on view. The Summer of Love Experience: Art, Fashion, and Rock & Roll commemorates

an “only in San Francisco” social and aesthetic movement, and will remind museum visitors that in a time of international upheaval, the city played a vital role in changing society and amplifying the pulse of the nation. de Young Museum, Golden Gate Park, 50 Hagiwara Tea Garden Drive, San Francisco, CA 94118, 415-750-3600, ttps://deyoung.famsf.org/summer-loveart-fashion-and-rock-roll. San Francisco Goes All-Out for Summer of Love Celebration San Francisco Travel, the city’s visitors bureau, and the California Historical Society have joined forces on

the 50th anniversary of the Summer of Love, offering more than 60 exhibitions and events, plus special tours like Wild SF’s Summer of Love walking tour. At www.summerof.love, the California Historical Society provides the detailed factual and cultural context for this seminal summer through its own exhibition and work with cultural partners such as the de Young Museum. Here are more: “The Hippies” at West County Museum in Sebastopol (Thru-Dec. 2017): The West County Museum in Sebastopol presents “The Hippies”. The curators have collected memorabilia from the Hippie elders to recreate the environment that these rebels against consumerism and conformity built in the forests of Graton and Occidental 1966-1973. Morning Star Ranch in Graton was owned by Lou Gottlieb, the bassist of The Limeliters, a hit folk group of the 60’s. He opened his property to all and refugees from the Haight quickly settled in. They built their own shacks, lived without electricity and often clothes and exchanged the work ethic for the ethics of living in nature in a state of “voluntary primitivism.” Sex and drugs, pot and LSD, guitars and any handy noise makers were freely enjoyed by the denizens but not by all of their neighbors. The County Sheriff and Health Department became involved after vociferous complaints and after many fines and much legal maneuvering by Gottlieb to keep his commune open, the County bulldozers destroyed the huts, and the suddenly homeless hippies were forced to relocate. Some moved to Morning Star East in New Mexico, but others went a few miles away in Occidental where Bill Wheeler felt that he had enough land to share and the hippies moved in. The land was free to all but the living was too free for a neighbor who felt that the lifestyle was a threat to his children. Again, after legal action, the bulldozers moved in and the hippie commune era in Sonoma County came to an end. The West County Museum, 261 S. Main Street, Sebastopol, is open Thursday to Sunday, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Monterey Regional Airport: “Feeling Groovy,” Art at the Airport (Thru Fall 2017): The exhibit showcases collections that reflect music, entertainment and home life in 1960s Monterey County. Artifacts featured in the exhibit are diverse, ranging from the ordinary to the extraordinary. Visitors can view everyday objects from a 1960s kitchen, iconic fashions ranging from pill box hats to Beatle boots, and

beloved games, toys and comic books. See Nancy Carlen’s collection from the Big Sur Folk Festival, the first time these rare photographs and objects have been exhibited. Go back to June 1967 when the Monterey Pop Festival welcomed Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Otis Redding – and ushered in The Summer of Love. Each object – from transistor radios to martini glasses – will transport you back to this transformative decade. 2017 Summer of Love Street Celebrations with It’s Your District and Sunday Streets (Thru Oct. 1, 2017): In conjunction with Sunday Streets, the non-profit It’s Your District (IYD) is hosting the 2017 Summer of Love Street Celebrations. Block parties will be held at the eight Sunday Street locations, and will include Summer of Love exhibitions, art projects, live performances and family-friendly activities. In keeping with IYD’s mission, these celebrations will bring in and promote Bay Area non-profits, businesses, arts, cultural and community organizations, socially conscious enterprises and individuals who are committed to bringing forth the unheard voices of residents and in sustaining the vitality of our community district by district. Sunday Streets engages some 120,000 people annually and this number continues to grow.

One highlight of the celebration is the Public Mural Art Project which creates murals designed to educate members of the community about the history of their respective neighborhoods. The art will focus on prominent heroes and the events that have contributed to the development of San Francisco districts from the 1960s to present day. “Lavender-Tinted Glasses: A Groovy Gay Look at the Summer of Love” at the GLBT History Museum (April 7-Sept. 27, 2017): An exhibition highlighting the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender participants in the 1967 Summer of Love in San Francisco. The show also will explore the LGBTQ community’s own simultaneous cultural revolution in the city’s Tenderloin neighborhood. The stories of queer poets, philosophers, filmmakers and musicians integral to the era will be celebrated through historic photographs, artwork, film and documents from the archives of the GLBT Historical Society and private collections. de Young Museum; “The Summer of Love Experience: Art, Fashion and Rock & Roll” (April 8-Aug. 20, 2017): Through a wide array of iconic rock posters, interactive music and light shows, “out-of-this-world” clothing

BY MARJORIE GOTTLIEB WOLFE May is Jewish American Heritage Month. The holiday is an annual recognition and celebration of Jewish American achievements. Let’s take a look at the Catskills. For over half a century, Sullivan and Ulster county offered over 500 hotels and countless bungalow colonies and “kochalayns.” Let’s look at an alphabetical guide to the area.

An ad in the Forward read: CATSKILLS Town of Fallsburg, Village of Woodbridge, N. Y. 76 acres of flat land. Buildable site. Great location. Walking distance to village, house of worship, and mikveh. (914) Note: A “mikveh” or “mikve” is a ritual bathhouse.

Artificial Snow

To attract winter visitors regardless of the weather (“der veter”), Grossinger’s Hotel was the first hotel in the world to use artificial snow (in 1952.)

Bellhops/Bellboys

Bellhops were the first image of the place to the guests coming in. They were coached on how to be courteous and well groomed. Wilt Chamberlain worked as a bellhop at Kutcher’s Country Club. By day he was making $2 an hour and getting great tips from

the awestruck guests as he lifted their luggage through a second story window while standing outside on the ground. At night he played on the Kutcher’s basketball team. In the early 50s. Red Buttons worked as a singing and joking bellboy at a Catskills resort. The uniform’s big buttons, combined with his red hair, earned him a stage name that stuck. Another Grossinger bellboy, Benny Rheingold, would have a stooge say, “Benny, give me a sentence with the word ENVY in it.” Rheingold would reply, “I vent to a wedding last night, envy had fish, envy had kreplach, envy had chicken, envy had strudel.” Source: “Live & Be Well” by Richard E. Shepard & Vicki Gold Levi.

Borscht Belt

This was a term used by entertainers to describe hotels in the Catskill Mountains of New York State, with an almost entirely Jewish clientele who are fond of borscht. “Borscht Belt,” “derma road” and “Jewish Alpa” are terms which are no more pejorative than New York’s “Chinatown” and “Little Italy” or Miami’s “Little Havana.” Paul Grossinger, son of Harry and Jennie Grossinger, said, “Seven days a week, 52 weeks a year, borscht in a glass was served.”

Brickman’s

There’s a Facebook group, summers

at the Brickman; it has over 338 members.

Brown’s Hotel

Brown’s was one of the largest and most elaborate establishments of its kind. Located in Lock Sheldrake, it was most successful from the 1940s to the 1980s. The hotel’s Brown Derby night club would book big name entertainers. In the summer of 1954, Jerry Lewis arranged for Brown’s to host the world premiere of his Hollywood film, “Living it Up” without telling famed co-star, Dean Martin. An ending argument, among other factors, caused America’s most popular duo to end their decadelong partnership. (The movie ultimately premiered in Atlantic City on July 15, 1954.) In 1978, Brown’s paid Bob Hope $50,000 to appear at a Catskills venue that year.

Bungalow Colony “Crasher”

Some bungalow colonies advertised the facilities of the hotel next door. Since seating was limited, a member of the hotel’s owner’s family stood at the door to make sure that the hall was not inundated with “outsiders.” A bungalow colony “crasher” could be easily spotted; they carried a flashlight.

Businesses

A host of businesses sprang up in

the Catskills: Katz’s Bakery in Liberty, Singer’s Chinese restaurant in Liberty, and Kaplan’s restaurant in Monticello.

Cardiac Hill

The Green Acres Hotel in Sullivan County was built on the top of a hill, overlooking Lake Huntington. The view was beautiful—if you were still alive after climbing the mountain from the swimming area. The guests called it “cardiac hill.” Source: “Remember the Catskills Tales by a Recovering Hotelkeeper” by Esterita “Cissie” Blumberg.

“Catskill Honeymoon” Movie

This 1950 movie is about a Jewish resort which celebrates a pair of longtime customers’ fiftieth wedding anniversary by staging an old-fashioned Borscht Belt show. The movie was filmed on location at Young’s Gap’s Hotel in Parksville, N. Y. It’s is a period piece proving an interesting glimpse of the legendary Catskills and Borscht Belt.

Chamberlain, Wilt

Milton Kutsher signed up Wilt Chamberlain as a bellhop so he could play for the Kutsher’s team.

My Apologies for Another Maximizing Column BY TOM MARGENAU

Q: I am 68 years old and retired. My wife is 60 and still working. When I was 66, my financial planner advised me to “file and suspend” so that when my wife turns 62, she can claim spousal benefits on my record and let her own continue to grow until she is 70. We are trying to maximize our Social Security. But now I’m wondering if I did the right thing. Can you explain the rules to me? Q: I am about to turn 66. I’m still working. My 64-year-old wife has been getting her own Social Security since she was 62. Can I file and suspend so that I can claim benefits on my wife’s record now and maximize my own retirement at age 70? Q: I see you recently wrote yet another column about Social Security maximizing strategies. I’m going to ask that you please stop doing that. There are so many other important Social Security issues that we need to know about. We DO NOT need to learn any more about the sneaky ways that greedy and selfish geezers can use to claim unintended benefits out of an already financially strained system. Q: Please, please, please: No more columns about maximizing one’s Social Security. These so-called “strategies” don’t apply to most of us and we just don’t care to read about them! These four recent emails I received illustrate something I’ve learned over the past several years. My readers can be put into two different camps. One group would like me to use each and every column I write to explain Social Security maximizing strategies. The other camp would just as soon I never broach the topic again. So what is a Social Security columnist to do? To paraphrase Abe Lincoln: “I can please some of my readers all of the time and all of my readers some of the time. But I can’t please all of my readers all of the time!” Actually, I went back and checked. Out of the 52 columns I’ve written over the past year, 11 have been about maximizing strategies. So that means I’ve covered at least 41 other Social Security topics over the past year. (In many columns, I discuss more than one subject.) But there is no question that maximizing is by far the most frequently discussed issue I’ve written about. And that’s primarily because there has been so darn much misinformation spread (mostly on the internet) about the topic. And the first two emails illustrate this point. So for the 12th time in now the last 53 weeks, I’m going to once again discuss this controversial topic. (And I hope the readers in the “no more” camp will forgive me!)

For most of the history of the Social Security program, the only strategy you really needed to consider was this: Should you take reduced benefits at 62 (or some other early age) or wait until your full retirement age (currently 66) to claim full retirement benefits? Then in 1972, Congress introduced another strategy: the idea of delayed retirement credits. The rules have changed over the years, but the law currently says you get a two-thirds of one percent credit added to your Social Security check for each month you delay filing for benefits after age 66. That comes out to an 8 percent bonus per year or a 32 percent bonus if you wait until age 70 (the maximum age) to file. Then in the 1990s, the Social Security law that allowed working seniors to claim full benefits at age 66 (the prior age was 72) included some totally unintended provisions that allowed seniors to “maximize” their benefits. One of those provisions came to be called “file and suspend.” This strategy was usually employed by a husband who wanted to wait until age 70 to claim the full 32 percent bonus. But he could file for benefits at 66 and immediately suspend his own benefits, but allow his nonworking wife to take spousal benefits on his record when she came of age. This strategy was actually eliminated last year. But the phrase “file and suspend” lives on -- mostly on the internet. People are always asking me if they can “file and suspend.” But what they really mean to ask me is if they can “file and restrict.” That is a completely different strategy that is also pegged for elimination. But it’s still good for another couple years. Anyone turning 66 before Jan. 2, 2020 can employ that strategy. The “file and restrict” strategy allows one member of a married couple to claim dependent husband’s or wife’s benefits on the other spouse’s record at age 66 while letting his or her own retirement benefits grow -- usually until age 70. So, for example, the second email I mentioned at the beginning of this column involved a 66-year-old man who has a 64-year-old wife who is already getting her own retirement benefits. He asked if he can “file and suspend.” That’s the wrong phrase and the wrong strategy. But what he can do is “file and restrict.” That means he can collect 50 percent of his wife’s age 66 retirement benefit until he is 70 years old. At that point, he can switch to 132 percent of his own. The gentleman who wrote the first email used in this column was advised to “file and suspend” when he turned 66. There actually was no real need for him to do that since his wife was not (and still is not) eligible for any benefits on his record. And even if she were old enough, she could not do what he was

told she could do. She would not have been able to file for spousal benefits at 62 and save her own until age 70. And because she turns 66 after the Jan. 2, 2020 deadline mentioned earlier, she cannot use the file and restrict strategy. This couple should forget about all this maximizing hoopla. The wife simply has to decide when she wants her own benefits to start. I just very briefly outlined some very

complicated Social Security rules in this column. If you want to know more about the topic, send an email to thomas.margenau@comcast.net and ask me to send you a fact sheet I wrote called “When to take your Social Security benefits.” If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has the answer.

San Francisco Goes All Out With Special Events, Exhibitions Marking 50th Anniversary of Summer of Love C ontinued from page D3 26-Aug. 27, 2017): As Jimi Hendrix walked out onto the stage at Monterey Pop, he was also stepping out for his American rock and roll debut. Playing as “The Jimi Hendrix Experience,” Hendrix was introduced to California at the festival before the U.S. release of his first album. A performance enlivened with rock theatrics, sexual flamboyance and magnetic guitar riffs, this moment solidified Hendrix as a rock idol. An integrated band with a black front man, “The Jimi Hendrix Experience” represented racial and sexual freedom and the goals of the 1906s counterculture. Composed of photographs taken of Jimi Hendrix in 1967, this exhibition celebrates the 50th anniversary of the famous Summer of Love and the introduction of Jimi Hendrix as one the greatest instrumentalists of all time. “Elaine Mayes: It Happened in Monterey” at SFO Museum (May 4-Aug. 10, 2017): SFO Museum will present an exhibition of photographs by Elaine Mayes (whose work is also included in the de Young Museum exhibit) taken at the Summer of Love’s legendary rock concert, the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival. The exhibition is located post-security in Terminal 3. “California Historical Society; “On the Road to the Summer of Love” (May 12-Sept. 10, 2017): Guestcurated by Grateful Dead historian Dennis McNally, this photographic exhibition will start in the 1950’s with “HOWL” and the Beat Generation and move through the free speech movement to LSD, rock and roll and the Haight in the 60’s. The Cartoon Art Museum; “Comix from the Summer of Love” (JuneSept., 2017): The Cartoon Art Museum celebrates the Summer of Love with a selection of underground comix from Bay Area creators Lee Marrs (Pudge, Girl Blimp), Trina Robbins (Wimmen¹s Comix) and highlights from the collection of Ron Turner, founder of famed San Francisco publisher Last Gasp. “A Night with Janis Joplin” at American Conservatory Theater (June 7-July 2, 2017): Like a comet that burns far too brightly to last, Janis Joplin exploded onto the music scene in 1967 and, almost overnight, became the queen of rock ’n’ roll. The unmistakable voice, laced with raw emotion and Southern Comfort, made her a must-see headliner from Monterey to Woodstock. A.C.T. presents

an evening with the woman and her influences in the Bay Area premiere of the hit Broadway musical “A Night with Janis Joplin” at the Geary Theater. Fueled by such unforgettable songs as “Me and Bobby McGee,” “Piece of My Heart,” “Mercedes Benz,” “Cry Baby,” and “Summertime,” a remarkable cast and breakout performances. San Francisco Public Library: 50th Anniversary of Love and Haight (July 15-Oct. 29, 2017): In this exhibit, historical photographs, grass roots newspapers, posters and flyers, record albums and manuscript materials from community groups and City of San Francisco collections will document the social and political upheaval of the summer of 1967 and how the city responded. Attractions: The legendary Fillmore Auditorium offers performances throughout the year and launched the careers of greats including James Brown, Ike and Tina Turner, the Grateful Dead, the Jefferson Airplane, Santana and more. Famous for printing posters for every single show played at the venue, the poster room is just shy of 1,000 posters since officially opening its doors in the mid-60s. Celebrate the 50th anniversary of Bill Graham’s first show at the Fillmore, which was December 10, 1965. (http://thefillmore.com/about/) Harkening back to The Psychedelic Shop, which opened on January 3, 1966, as the first head shop in America, Love on Haight is a boutique dedicated to keeping the memory of the Summer of Love alive (www.loveonhaightsf.com).

San Francisco Goes All Out With Special Events, Exhibitions Marking 50th Anniversary of Summer of Love Continued from page D5

by Grace Slick of the Jefferson Airplane, Jerry Garcia’s bomber jacket, Jimi Hendrix’ jacket and one of the last photos of Janice Joplin. at the Hard Rock Café at PIER 39. www.hardrock. com/cafes/san-francisco/ At Madame Tussauds, rub shoulders with iconic stars and free thinkers of the Summer of Love such as Jerry Garcia, Janis Joplin, Carlos Santana and Steve Jobs. (www. madametussauds.com) Founded in 1959 with avant-garde pperformance events, today The San Francisco Mime Troupe (SFMT) produces social and politically relevant theater performances full of dance, song, satire and comedy all year long. In 1965 future rock impresario Bill Graham, then the company’s business manager, organized his first rock dance/light show at the Fillmore Auditorium as a bail benefit for the SFMT and in 1967 The Troupe clinched its radical reputation with a comedy

updated to satirize the Vietnam War (www.sfmt.org/company). Viceroy Hotel Group’s brand new Hotel Zeppelin has been reinvented as a modern take on the countercultural rebellion of the 1960s. Its historic architecture dating back to 1918 is highlighted with Instagram worthy design elements that truly exude the Summer of Love vibe. From the Giant 12 foot (and climbable) Peace Sign constructed of repurposed license plates from roadtrips long forgotten, to blacklight graffiti murals fading in and out of view at their Fireside neighborhood bar – even the guest rooms feature vintage Bill Graham posters and rockband clad wallpaper that will transport you straight to the 1960s Fillmore. Grab a drink at their signature bar and restaurant Rambler and meander your way down to their massive “Den” arcade featuring vintage games like shuffleboard, skeeball, quick shot basketball, bingo and more (www.viceroyhotelsandresorts.com/ en/zeppelin). S.O.U.L. (Summer of Unconditional LOVE), a new, non-profit, online media organization, chronicles the happenings of the 50th Anniversary of the Summer of Love, with a focus on broadcasting stories of individuals and organizations implementing solutions inspired by the ideals and wisdom of the 60’s cultural movements. The information shared is intended to help people manifest a more loving and less fearful world by giving them hope and inspiring new action to be taken. “Come join us, and discover what you can do to participate in accelerating humanity’s shift into the Love Paradigm,” say Founders Evan Hirsch and Kip Baldwin www. nowsharelove.org). To help visitors plan their “trip,” the San Francisco Travel Association has launched a special website, www. summeroflove2017.com, which provides an ever-expanding guide to the whole groovy scene, including events and itinerary ideas.

A Guide to the Catskills C ontinued from page D3

be selected and were paired with an instructor. The judges included Shelly Winters, Doris Day, and Linda Darnell. The winners received a bottle of champagne and gorgeous trophies.

Comic Strip

Grossinger’s is the only resort to be regularly referred to in a comic strip, the one about Joe Palooka, a mythical heavyweight boxing champion. The strip was created by Ham Fisher in 1921.

Complaints

(at Borscht Belt hotels) Henny Youngman had to deal with angry older Jewish women complaining about the fare at the Swan Lake Inn. They would say, “The food here is terrible. And such small portions.” Youngman replied, “Madam, the food at the Swan Lake Inn is fit for a king. “Here, King! Here King!” These complaints were expressed by guests at the hotels: 1. My room’s so small it has a threecent stamp for a rug. 2. My room’s so small, the mice are hunchbacked. 3. You should see my room. I put a key in the door and it breaks the window. When I complained, they gave me a room without a window.

Concord (The)

The Concord was the largest hotel in the Borscht Belt region. It was Sullivan County’s largest employer (with 1,000 workers at peak season). It offered sumptuous Kosher dining in its 3,000-seat dining room for 5 decades and was located 12 miles away from Grossinger’s. Ten days before Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated he was in the Catskills. He appeared at the Concord Hotel and spoke before a Rabbinical Assembly of the Conservative Movement. He was there to celebrate the 60th birthday of Rabbi Abraham Herschel who had joined King in his Civil Rights march from Selma to Montgomery. The Concord officially closed in the fall of 1996.

Cozy Corners

Belle Barth (born Annabelle Salzman) started performing at Borscht Belt hotels and small nightclubs. She could be found at the Cozy Corners in South Fallsburg. She shocked her audiences—and packed them in!

Demeret, Jimmy (1910-1983)

Jimmy became the pro at the Concord Hotel, and at the opening of the Concord’s first golf course. He was known as “the wardrobe” because of his flamboyant personality, which he enhanced by wearing bright-colored

clothing during tournaments.

“Derma Road” (The)

According to Myron Cohen, “The fellow who called the “derma” road knew what he was talking about. If you’re ever in the Catskills and see a white line in the road…remember… that’s not paint…it’s sour cream.”

Dirty Dancing

“Dirty Dancing,” the movie, was released in 1963. That infamous summer at Kellerman’s DIDN’T HAPPEN in the Catskills at all. The actual movie shoot took place more than 500 miles south in Pembroke,VA. Nevertheless, the movie helped elevate the profile of this beautiful region once again. This little $5 million picture seemed to have more legs than the hundreds of dancers who created it. After seeing the film people seem to want to—dance (“tantsn”). Source: “Singin’ in the Rain” by Linda Gottlieb, Premiere, May 1988

Doubling or Tripling

Entertainers in the Catskills often did two or three shows in one evening, commuting across Sullivan and Ulster counties.

Dr. Ruth

Dr. Ruth, the pint-sized sex therapist, met her third husband, Manfred (Fred) Westheimer, early in 1961 on a ski trip in the Catskills.

“Ess. Ess.” (Eat. Eat.)

Elaine Markson wrote, “The attention to food, it’s part of the vision of America as the horn of plenty. The Catskills were the Jewish version of the country club or first-class on the ocean liner. You order every-thing on the menu. Tanya Grossinger described the food that it took to feed all the guests for one week: 300 standing ribs of beef for steaks and roast beef, 1,000 lbs. of poultry, 75 cartons of eggs (27,000 eggs a week), 1,000 lbs. of potatoes, 500 lbs. of Nova Scotia lox, 70 cases of fresh oranges, and 700 lbs. of coffee.

Finkel, Fyvush

Joseph Berger wrote about the iconic actor/entertainer [“Picket Fences,” Fiddler on the Roof”]: “Mr. Finkel was a lifetime trooper in any language. In winter he traveled to Florida to bring his valise of routines to the beachfront condominiums. Fifteen condos in 10 days. In summer, like a monarch butterfly, he fluttered north to the handful of surviving Catskills hotels sampling the borscht when there was no longer a belt and delighting the hotel denizens with jokes many had heard more than once.” Source: “Fyvush Finical, Pillar of Yiddish Theater Who Crossed Into TV, Dies at 93,” Joseph Berger, Aug. 14, 2016, The New York Times.

Fisher, DAvid (“Dudu”)

“Dudu” Fisher, who played Tevye the Milkman in “Fiddler on the Roof,” served at the bima in Kutcher’s during the High Holy Days for over 20 years. Helen Kusher said, “Without Dudu, Kusher’s simply would’t be Kusher’s! Wherever he is, anywhere in the States, in Israel or in Europe, Dudu is back with us for the holidays.” Source: “A Lot Of Lox, A Lot Of Love” by Gabe Levenson

Fisher, Eddie

Eddie Fisher (1928-2010) greeted enthusiastic fans stateside at Grossinger’s in 1964. He and Debbie Reynolds were married in 1955 at the hotel.

Four L’s

Helen Kutsher (“Kutsher’s Hotel”) said that her hotel was a combination of the four L’s: a lot of lox [at breakfast], a lot of labor [attention to very aspects of the hotel business], a lot of luck and a lot of love.

“Gezunte Heights”

Esterita “Cissie” Blumberg wrote, “What other area would have a Finkestein’s Foibles, a Didinsky’s Villa, or “Gezunte Heights”? :-_ Note: The word “gezunt” (geh-zoont) means “healthy” in Yiddish.

Grading system for comedians

Grossinger’s had a numerical system to grade their comedians. It ranged from 1—which was terrible—to 7—the highest. Three stars who received consistent 3s were Flip Wilson, Shecky Greene, and Jack E. Leonard. Source: “Growing Up At Grossingers” by Tania Grossinger.

Gradus Hotel

Alan King was asked if he would like to work at the Gradus Hotel. He went up for Memorial Day, got onstage, and did a joke. He said, “When you work for Gradus, you work for gratis.” Everybody laughed except Mr. Gradus, the owner of the hotel. He didn’t understand what King was talking about, but when it was explained to him, King was fired. He left in the middle of the night. The next day he was hired at the New Prospect Hotel as the number three comic and the porch tummler.

Granite, The

The Granite operates as Hudson Valley Resort and Spa. It has 270 guest rooms and suites, a heated indoor and outdoor pool, a fitness center, and a modern spa.

Grossinger’s

In the 1920s, Grossinger’s became a five-star destination for the upwardly mobile East Coast Jews. Some of the famous people who vacationed there included Chaim Weismann, Alben W. Barkley, and Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt.

Grossinger’s (Staff)

In the summer, about 950 employees were on the payroll and 1,000 guests on the register, according to Tania Grossing. There was a whole staff that the guests never saw: cleaning help, kitchen stewards, gardeners, plumbers, engineers, security men, maintenance men, florists, etc. They were the “back of the house” staff; many of them lived in Liberty. The Grossinger staff always ate the same food as the guests, the only difference being that the staff did NOT have a variety of choices. Grossinger’s posted signs in the indoor pool area: 1 lifeguard - 75 bathers 2 lifeguards - 150 bathers Grossinger’s had its own post office.

Grossinger’s “Tattler”

The “Tattler” was a mimeographed publication that listed the events of the evening and the following day. It was also the local gossip (“yente” is slang for gossip) sheet. According to the “Tattler,” the typical Grossinger guest was “charming, vivacious, gracious, amiable, pleasant, enchanting, good-natured, easygoing, sparkling, scintillating, titallating, likeable, outgoing, good-natured, handsome (“shane”), appealing, winsome, frolic-some, bright-mannered…….

Grossinger’s Ad

Their honeymoon package offered: . a box of chocolates . a complimentary bottle of champagne . free pictures for handsome photograph album . a copy of Jennie’s famous cookbook. . a tour of the kitchen . honeymoon edition of Grossinger’s News

Grossinger’s Rules for Behavior

Golfers are asked to replace divots. Men are asked not to remove their shirts, and both sexes not to wear shorts. Persons in shorts or bathing attire headed for the pool are steered away from the main lobby and the main terrace area. 300 free lockers for bathing suits are provided near the pool. The carefully trimmed lawns and flower beds have signs reading, “Please do not pick us. We bloom for your pleasure.” Signed, The Flowers.” The designation “Country Club” was added to the Grossinger’s title in the late 20s, when discontent was developing over the exclusion of Jews from country clubs throughout the country. To Be Continued.... Marjorie Gottlieb Wolfe spent many vacations with her parents at Grossinger’s, The Concord, and the Nevele.

Her alphabeticsl look at the Catskills will continue next week, (H through Z)

A giant act of kindness From page 1 towards others. “This is part of an ongoing project in every class in our school where we want to inspire our students to make the world a kinder place,” said Dr. Clark. “ we want each student to pay it forward in our school and our community.” She said that every class in the school creates a birthday box which is picked up by the Birthday Wishes Foundation to be given to kids celebrating their birthday’s in homeless shelters. Placed inside the boxes

include items such as birthday decorations, paper plates, napkins and utensils. The kids also make special cupcakes to be sent out to the lucky birthday boy or girl. As part of the kindness theme in the school, every child gets a paper balloon and writes different acts of kindness inside the balloon. The paper balloons are than taped up on the walls down what is called the kindness hallway. In every classroom, teachers read books about kindness to students and the school library also gets into the act as they

display books on kindness on the shelves for everyone to see. As for creating the birthday boxes, Dr Clark said the kids really enjoy putting them together and it makes them feel good about themselves. “The kids love doing this and they can relate to that feeling of having a birthday party thrown for them,” said Dr. Clark. “Most of our kids our fortunate that they have birthday parties and I think by doing this it gives them that extra special feeling that they are making someone else happy on their special day.”

Levittown students are winners in Irish writing contest

Division Avenue High School student Jennifer Daly & MacArthur High School students Madison Amerman, Olivia Eden, Christopher Flick and Emily Lung were winners in the 2017 Martin J. Kelly Annual Writing Contest, sponsored by the Irish Cultural Society of GC. This year’s entrants, open to students from Nassau County in grades 9-12, were instructed to write a poem

that conforms to the syllabic and rhyme scheme of the Gaelic quatrain, a complex four-line verse using ancient Gaelic structure. Judges considered the conformity to the structure of the quatrain, elegance of language and skillfulness of the rhymes in each entry. The Levittown School District congratulates the students on this outstanding accomplishment.
