NATIONAL MERIT FINALISTS

Two Plainview residents vie for legislature seat BY GARY SIMEONE

Hicksville High School recently congratulated two students who were named National Merit Finalists. From left, Hicksville Public School District Chairperson for Guidance Services Efthymia Rafaelides, National Merit Scholars Jakub Tarlowski and Shana Mathew, and Hicksville High School Principal Raymond Williams. The National Merit Scholar title is a prestigious one that is annually bestowed upon a very select percentage of students.

Police make arrest in robberies Nassau County Police arrested a Hicksville man in connection with several robberies which took place in September and October in Hicksville. According to police, Jose Roberto Savala, 19, was arrested in connection with two robberies which occurred on Monday, October 3, and Tuesday October 4, in Hicksville. According to detectives, on Monday, October 3, at 7:00 p.m. a female victim, 63, while walking on Jerusalem Avenue in the vicinity of W. Marie Street was approached from

behind by Savala, who was riding a bicycle. Police say he forcibly grabbed the victim’s purse from her wrist before fleeing southbound on Jerusalem Avenue. No injuries were reported. Police say that on Tuesday, October 4, at 3:40 p.m. a second female victim, 63, while walking on Jerusalem Avenue in the vicinity of W. Cherry Street was approached from behind by Savala, on bicycle, who forcibly grabbed her pocketbook from her shoulder before fleeing southbound on Jerusalem Avenue. No inju-

ries were reported. According to police, Savala was also responsible for an additional pedestrian robbery that occurred on Sunday, September 18, in front of 71 N. Broadway, Hicksville. During that incident Savala allegedly assaulted a 41 year old male and removed his backpack and wallet. Savala is charged with Robbery 1st Degree, two counts of Robbery 3rd Degree, Assault 1st Degree and Criminal Possession of a Weapon 4th Degree.

There is a vacant seat on the Nassau County Legislator after the untimely death of former legislator and activist, Judith Jacobs last month. Two Plainview residents, Arnold Drucker and Louis Imbroto are seeking to fill that seat in a special election which will take place on November 8th. Drucker, a Lawyer and Trustee at Nassau Community College was chosen as the Democratic nominee and Imbroto, a lawyer, is the Republican nominee. Jacobs, who was the Legislator for the 16th Legislative District passed away in early September after serving for eleven terms. The district includes the communities of Plainview, Old Bethpage, Jericho, Syosset, Woodbury, Hicksville, Old Westbury and Roslyn Heights. Drucker, a lifelong resident of Plainview, said that he is uniquely aware of the problems residents and taxpayers face and that he is totally invested in his community. “I know about the quality of life issues people face and the excessive tax burden that weighs on the shoulders of our residents,” said Drucker. “If I am elected Legislator I want to block the tremendous holes in our budget and restore the luster of what our communities used to be. I intend to follow in the giant footsteps of former Legislator Jacobs. She was a great woman, effective legislator and in institution in our County.” He said that as a practicing attorney for 34 years he under-

stands the nature of legislation and has the necessary skill set to be a legislator. “One thing that I am looking for if I’m elected Legislator is openness and honesty in office. That is something that has been missing.” Imbroto, a practicing attorney in Plainview, said that he is honored to have been nominated to fill the vacancy left by the unfortunate passing of Judy Jacobs. “Legislator Jacobs worked tirelessly for our community and I hope to live up to her legacy in the Legislature,” said Imbroto. He said that he is running for office to reduce property tax burden, improve public safety and protect suburban quality of life. “Nassau residents are severely overburdened by property taxes. As legislator, I will hold the line on taxes so that middle class families can afford to stay on Long Island. As far as quality of life issues, I will resist over development, protect our environment and maintain the suburban character of Long Island.” Imbroto said that something he feels strongly about is public safety and the protection of our citizens. “Public safety is more important than ever. As legislator, I will support the police, work to improve public safety, and combat the heroin epidemic that has taken so many young lives.” The two candidates will hold a special election on November 8th and the winner of the election will hold the position until November 2017.

Greater LI Running Club presents check

THE POLICE BLOTTER

Incidents that have occurred recently in the local area include:

Assorted merchandise was stolen from Rue 21 in Hicksville at 8 p.m. on September 6. n

At 5:42 p.m. on September 13, assorted merchandise was stolen from Macy’s in Hicksville. n

A pocketbook and wallet were stolen from a vehicle on Brenner Avenue in Bethpage between 8 p.m. on September 20 and 8:30 a.m. the following morning.

Sometime between 11:30 p.m. on September 20 and 6:20 a.m. on September 21, the rear driver’s side window of a victim’s vehicle was broken while parked on Frankel Boulevard in Merrick. n

Among the highlights of the September 20, 2016 Open General Meeting of the Greater Long Island Running Club was the presentation of a check in the amount of $1500 out of the proceeds of the Runner’s Edge Long Island Women’s Run to The Opening Word Program administered by the Dominican Sisters. The Meeting was held in the Auditorium of the Plainview-Old Bethpage Public Library with an audience of about 150 members and their guests in attendance. The Opening Word is a literacy program which teaches the English language and job readiness skills to immigrant women on Long Island, a population which is often underserved, undereducated, and/or underemployed. The Program operates out of three sites in Amityville, Huntington Station and Wyandanch, and has been extremely

successful in teaching English language and other life skills necessary to for the students to become productive, self–sufficient citizens. Sister Ernestine, accepting the check for the Program, advised the audience that the $1500 would be used as part of the Citizenship Program, which provides financial assistance to financially stressed Program graduates in handling the test registration fees and other costs of applying for U.S. citizenship. “The work that has been undertaken by the Dominican Sisters in The Opening Word Program is exactly what is needed to help immigrant women head directly on the path of US citizenship and a place in American society,” observed Runner’s Edge Long Island Women’s Run Director Debbie Blair. “I am proud of the role that our Club is able to play in this effort.”

BY GARY SIMEONE Former second grade teacher in the Rockville Centre School district, Katie Schumacher, has developed strategies for children to navigate the world of social media with her ‘Don’t Press Send’ campaign. Mrs. Schumacher holds presentations in school districts throughout Long Island and has written a book on the subject entitled, ‘Don’t Press Send’ A Mindful Approach To Social Media-An Education In Cyber Civics. “Three years ago I began a program called Don’t Press Send, which is an education in cyber civics,” said Schumacher. “I began this program because as a parent and an educator I know that if so many kids are making so many mistakes and misusing social media so drastically, it’s because they haven’t been educated in how to use it correctly.” She got the idea for her campaign after watching her own daughters react to nasty messages that they received on their cell phones when they were in Middle School. “I saw how someone else’s words could basically ruin their day,” said Schumacher. “I started doing research into social media apps like Facebook and Snapchat and saw that it was basically a free for all without any kind of

She said that just because parents might be unfamiliar with the ever changing landscape of technology is no excuse for them not to set guidelines for their children. “Parents need to be aware of who their kids are conversing with online and they need to be available if their children come to them with any problems or questions.” School districts have been trying to keep up with the social media world by spending money on educational resources in social media and New York State also passed the ‘Dignity For All Students Act’ in 2010 which was established to provide a school environment free of discrimination and harassment. “My philosophy is that technology is here to stay and we need to find balance and establish guidelines and use social media with a positive intent,” said Schumacher. “There is enough negativity out there in the world and we need to create an environment where kids can feel safe and have empathy for one another.” Her book, Don’t Press Send: A Mindful Approach To Social Media-An Education In Cyber Civics is currently being sold on Amazon.com and more information on her Don’t Press Send campaign can be found online at dontpresssend.org.

S.T.O.P. & E-Waste Collection Day Scheduled for October 15

The seventh of eight 2016 Household Hazardous Waste Disposal (S.T.O.P.Stop Throwing Out Pollutants) and E-Waste (Electronic Waste) Collection dates and the final date for disposing unwanted or expired prescription & over-the-counter medication for Oyster Bay Town residents is scheduled for Saturday, October 15. The Collection dates will be held at the Old Bethpage Solid Waste Disposal Complex, located at 101 BethpageSweet Hollow Road, in Old Bethpage according to Town Councilman Joseph D. Muscarella. “The S.T.O.P. program has become a major source of pride for the Town due to the beneficial effects it has on preserving the integrity of our environment,” Councilman Muscarella said. “These collection dates for hazardous waste and unwanted prescription and over the counter medication provide residents with a safe method of disposing of potentially harmful materials or electronic waste. The trash and electronic waste collected from the S.T.O.P program go a long way

towards fulfilling one of the top priorities of the Oyster Bay Town Board; the protection of Long Island’s underground aquifer system, an essential component to our water supply that continues to be well guarded through programs like this.” The hours for collection are from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. Residents who would like further information on the S.T.O.P. program can call the Town’s Department of Environmental Resources at 677-5943. Additionally, the Town offers an informative brochure about the S.T.O.P., E-waste and drug collection programs, including a list of what can be disposed of. The final S.T.O.P. Collection date for 2016 will be on Sunday, November 6.

86 year old waitress an institution at local diner

Waitress Sylvia Smith BY GARY SIMEONE

Nico Papavasilopoulos, said Sylvia has been working there since before he was born and when his father, John was working there as a busboy in the early 70’s. “She was here when my dad was starting out before he worked his way up to ownership,” said Papavasilopoulos. “She is like an institution in this place.” He said that her retirement announcement came as bittersweet news to him. “I don’t know how I could have done it without her all these years. I’m going to miss her very much, she is like a third grandmother to me. At the same time though I’m happy for her that she can experience the joy of retirement. “ Sylvia said she might look into doing some charitable work in the area or at Rider College. “I was born in New Jersey so i plan on moving back to the area around the College,” said Smith. “It’s going to take me a few months to unpack but I’m not one to sit around and do nothing. I get bored easy. I have to be on my feet.”

They sure don’t make them like they used to. Just ask Plainview Diner waitress, Sylvia Smith who has been taking orders and honing her craft for forty three years. Smith, an 86 year old Hicksville resident is set to hang up her apron on Friday, October 21st and experience the life of a retiree. “What can I say, waitressing at the diner certainly beat sitting in an office for all these years,” said Smith. “I really enjoyed all the people I’ve met and the camaraderie we’ve shared. The people I’ve worked with have been like a second family to me and we’ve had some wonderful years together.” The staff at the Plainview Diner threw a retirement party for Sylvia few weeks ago and many former customers came in for the celebration. “A lot of people came to the party and we all shared some memories past,” said Smith. “It’s funny because I saw three or four generations of family members that i’ve been serving all these years. Grandfathers, grandmothers, fathers, daughters, mothers and sons. They all came.” She got her start as a waitress in 1974 after graduating from Rider College in New Jersey. She was working at the Bell Telephone Company in New Jersey at the time when she got a call from her family to come to Long Island. Her sister who lived on Long Island was in need of money and Smith had lined up a job for herself at a division of the phone company on the Island. In the meantime she began waitressing at the local diner. “I never did take that job at Bell” said Smith. “My family had needed money at the time but I have no regrets. Plainview Diner owner, Nico Papavasilopoulos I’ve had a good life.” Plainview Diner owner, and Sylvia Smith (center)

After the Second Debate BY BOB MORGAN, JR.

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton squared off last Sunday in a very acrimonious debate. Mr. Trump, after a very difficult 20 minutes at the beginning of the debate, when he was confronted about an unfortunate (ok, disgusting) audiotape about women dating from 2005, rebounded strongly during the remainder of the debate. He was better prepared than during the first debate and was able to put Ms. Clinton, who turned in a good but unspectacular performance, on the defensive on a variety of issues from her emails to Obamacare to foreign policy, as well as on leaked transcripts of her paid speeches to financial institutions. Ms. Clinton certainly did not score well with a comparison between herself and Abraham Lincoln. The result of the debate was a near draw, which has a number of ramifications. Barring some further major surprise, which can’t be ruled out, Mr. Trump appears to have stopped the intraparty bleeding. Republican officeholders who were considering abandoning the Trump candidacy, something that was happening with some regularity over the weekend, seem to be walking back their stance and the Republican National Committee reaffirmed its support of Mr. Trump. Vice Presidential candidate Mike Pence confirmed his support for his running mate. Indeed, there has been something of a backlash among GOP voters and fellow lawmakers following House Speaker Paul Ryan’s announcement that he was distancing himself from the national nominee, a position that Mr. Trump himself criticized. Mr. Trump, energized by his performance, clearly lives to fight another day. What does that mean? Of course, there is a wiseguy perspective that Mr. Trump’s relatively strong showing was the best thing that could have happened to Ms. Clinton since a weakened Mr. Trump will remain at the head of the ticket, rather than a more electable replacement. As a reality check, there was (or is) almost no possibility that Mr. Trump could be replaced as the presidential candi-

date, even leaving aside the possibility of major resentment of this step among rank and file Republicans, many of whom voted for Mr. Trump in the primaries. Early voting has already begun in many states and replacing Mr. Trump’s name on the ballot would be extremely problematic and it is not always clear that votes already cast for Mr. Trump could be combined with those for a replacement nominee. So, battered though he may be, Mr. Trump will be soldiering on as the GOP nominee in the last four weeks of the campaign. He is clearly an underdog in the race, as his mid- September momentum in the polls was lost after his uneven performance in the first debate and he lost further ground with the latest audiotape furor. Even at his high point, Mr. Trump had a relatively narrow path to victory in the electoral college (likely needing a longshot state like Colorado or Wisconsin) , and he is now trailing in a number of key battleground states like Florida and North Carolina that he absolutely needs to carry. Some polling covering the weekend of the audiotape revelation (but before the debate) show Mr. Trump with a double digit deficit. I still suspect, however, that this race is still not over. Whatever Mr. Trump’s faults, and they are many, the country has serious domestic and foreign problems and this is not a year in which the country is eager to vote for four more years of the same policies. Mr. Trump’s overall message of sweeping change has struck a responsive chord with many voters and he may have an enthusiasm advantage among his supporters. Nor is Hillary Clinton a particularly attractive presidential candidate to many voters. But Donald Trump has to avoid disqualifying himself as a leader in the final days of this race, something that is partially within his control but also related to any damaging revelations that may be lurking. If he can do so, he still has a fighting chance at a very competitive election.

Levittown announces National Merit Commended students

Apple Science at Gardiners Avenue Elementary School

Division Avenue High School National Merit Scholarship Program Commended Students (center, l-r) Danielle Mahn, Nicholas Motschmann, Faraz Tajammul and Dawn Kim are pictured with (left) Assistant Principals Terence Rusch and Sam McElroy and (right) guidance chairperson Mark Curtiss and Principal John Coscia. The Levittown School District is pleased to announce that the National Merit Scholarship Program has named eight high school seniors Commended Students. Division Avenue High School’s Dawn Kim, Danielle Mahn, Nicholas Motschmann and Faraz Tajammul and MacArthur High School’s Casey Butcher, Carissa Giuliano, Jake Iannacone and James May are among the 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation being

recognized for their exceptional academic promise. Commended Students are recognized for having placed among the top 5 percent of more than 1.5 million students who entered the competition by taking the 2015 Preliminary SAT/ National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT). The district congratulates these students on this exceptional achievement.

Levittown first-grade students observed the various effects of various liquids on apple slices during an experiment at Gardiners Avenue Elementary School. In honor of Johnny Appleseed’s birthday (Sept. 26), first-grade students in Joanna Suriano’s class at Gardiners Avenue Elementary School in Levittown tested the effects of various liquids on sliced apples. Using the scientific method, the students set a control group (no liquid) and

compared their findings after dousing water, soda, lemon juice and tonic water on sliced apples. At the end of the day, the students discovered that tonic water kept the apples looking the freshest, while soda water was most likely to darken the flesh of the apples. The students were also required to record their findings.

Long Island’s largest food drive event, the 8th Annual Bethpage Turkey Drive to benefit Island Harvest Food Bank, will take place on Friday , November 18, 2016 from 7 AM to 6 PM at Bethpage Federal Credit Union’s headquarters located at 899 South Oyster Bay Road in Bethpage. Long Islanders are asked to drop off frozen turkeys, non-perishable food items (except those in glass containers), supermarket gift cards or cash donations. These donations will go directly to Island Harvest Food Bank which will then help supply Thanksgiving holiday meals to the more than 300,000 food insecure Long Islanders through its distribution network of 500 food pantries, soup kitchens and other feeding programs on Long Island. “Many Long Islanders would be unable to serve their families a holiday meal if it were not for the Bethpage Turkey Drive,” said Linda Armyn, Senior Vice President, Corporate Affairs, Bethpage Federal Credit Union. “It’s that knowledge that has led to the growth of this important event, and what fuels our countless

volunteers and generous event supporters yearly.” “We are once again heartened by the generous, and year-round support of Bethpage Federal Credit Union, and our corporate partners in working with Island Harvest Food Bank to help us address the important, yet often unrecognized issue of food insecurity in our local communities,” said Randi Shubin Dresner, president and CEO, Island Harvest Food Bank. “On behalf of the 316,000 Long Islanders who often don’t have enough to eat, we extend our sincere thanks to the companies’ leadership and employees for helping to improve the lives of our neighbors in need.” For those unable to travel to Bethpage’s main branch on November 18, Nassau and Suffolk County residents can visit any of Bethpage’s 34 branch locations to drop off any monetary donations you may have. For a complete list of Bethpage branches, go to www.lovebethpage.com. Since the first Bethpage Turkey Drive was organized in 2009, hundreds of community volunteers have come

Volunteers at previous turkey drive out to assist in the collection of more than 25,000 turkeys and more than 81,000 pounds of food, which were then provided to Long Island families facing hardship in time for the holidays. Island Harvest Food Bank has seen

an increase in the requests for food and support services among the 570 community-based agencies it serves. About 70,000 individuals receive food assistance from the Island Harvest Food Bank network each week.

Gerald R. Claps Career and Tech Center Key Club quilt honors 9/11 victims During the Sept. 21 Levittown School District Board of Education meeting, the Gerald R. Claps Career and Technical Center Key Club unveiled a 10’ x 10’ quilt commemorating the 15th anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001. The two-year project was constructed with squares depicting the heartfelt and personalized sentiments of contributors including GC Tech students, faculty and community members. The hand-drawn, painted and embroidered pieces of material confer each individual conception relating to the terrorist attacks. Although the students were too young to remember the attacks in detail, they were still able to reflect on this dark historical moment. The 9/11 quilt will hang on the wall outside of the district superintendent’s office throughout the 2016-2017 school year and will be gifted to the Levittown Public Library this coming summer. Key Club adviser Lillian Creedon said, “This was our way of honoring all of the beloved lives lost that day.”

‘Legend of Sleepy Hollow’ Halloween Events – Ghouls & All – Return to Historic Hudson Valley BY KAREN RUBIN Washington Irving’s macabre tale, “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” is the inspiration for Horseman’s Hollow, a spectacularly produced interactive Halloween haunted attraction at the colonial-era Philipsburg Manor in Sleepy Hollow, N.Y. It is one of a series of Historic Hudson Valley’s Halloween season spectacular events taking place over an unprecedented 32 nights. They are the largest Halloween events in the tri-state area and are expected to draw more than 150,000 visitors to Sleepy Hollow Country. They take place in several Historic Hudson Valley venues, each one an important attraction. Washington Irving’s macabre tale The Legend of Sleepy Hollow inspires Horseman’s Hollow, an interactive haunted attraction taking place over 14 nights at Philipsburg Manor in Sleepy Hollow, an estate that dates back to colonial times. But for Halloween, it is stocked with professional actors and state-ofthe-art special effects and lighting. Take note: Horseman’s Hollow has a high fear factor, which is why it is so popular with teenagers. (Recommended for ages 10 and up.) Irving’s ‘Legend,’ recommended for ages 10 and up, brings the master storyteller Jonathan Kruk into the historic, candlelit interior of Sleepy Hollow’s circa-1685 Old Dutch Church, where for 14 afternoons and evenings he offers a dramatic

A small team of artists comes together to carve more than 7,000 jacks, many fused together in elaborate constructions such as lifesize dinosaurs and eight-foot-tall working jack-o’lanterns-in-the-box, all lit up throughout the wooded walkways, orchards, and gardens of historic Van Cortlandt Manor in Croton-on-Hudson, N.Y.

‘Legend of Sleepy Hollow’ Halloween Events – Ghouls & All – Return to Historic Hudson Valley Continued from page D1 Philipsburg Manor, one of the Historic Hudson Valley historic sites, you can easily imagine the “Legend of Sleepy Hollow” as Irving saw it in his mind. Now in its 7th year, Horseman’s Hollow, which welcomed more than 30,000 visitors last year, is a haunted experience in the heart of Sleepy Hollow that takes the tale of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow to its darkest extremes. Historic Philipsburg Manor transforms into a terrifying landscape ruled by the undead, the evil, and the insane, all serving the Headless Horseman himself. For 14 nights, historic Philipsburg Manor transforms into a terrifying landscape ruled by the undead, the evil, and the insane, all serving the Headless Horseman himself. The 300-year old manor house, barn and gristmill of the Philipses, a family of Anglo-Dutch merchants who owned the 50,000 acre- estate, become the sets and the backdrop for the really, really ghoulish hauntings by colonial spirits. Haunted house professional Lance Hallowell is back this year to lead a crew of award-winning makeup and costume designers and a 45-memberstrong cast of experienced actors to create an immersive, interactive, pleasantly terrifying experience, with state-of-the-spooky-art special effects. Custom built set pieces and periodcorrect costumes help orient the experience in Philipsburg Manor’s traditional time period of the mid-1700s. What is best about Horseman’s Hollow is the sheer number (and

The Headless Horseman comes out of the shadows at Horseman’s Hollow, at Philipsburg Manor in Sleepy Hollow, NY © 2016 Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com talent) of the live spirits – they are very considerate, too – they seem to know just how much to terrify you (though really squeamish and young children should not come). I have found that if the ghouls sense you are easily frightened (like me), they tend to take down a notch their scare factor (I basically announce that I am easily frightened as I enter one of the venues). But the professional actors and stateof-the-art special effects, contributes to a high fear factor (it’s recommended for ages 10 and up and is not for the squeamish and you need to take heed of

the warning: This event is NOT suitable for adults who are claustrophobic, have heart or respiratory conditions, are prone to seizures, or have other chronic health conditions.) As we start our experience, walking up a dirt path that rings the pond, a faceless colonial escorts us for a time, then goes into the trees to surprise a group of teenagers who are following behind. With each step through the woods, you leave the modern world behind and suspend disbelief. Timed tickets mean that it isn’t overcrowded (safety in numbers?) – but

as we walk through (guided by helpful spirits with lanterns who lead us to the next haunted house), we hear the screams of a pack of teenage girls in the distant dark. It adds to the atmosphere. Look carefully in the deepest, darkest shadow, and there is the Headless Horseman himself, astride his steed, standing quietly as if taking in the scene or simply delighting in the terror of recognition as the clueless passerby realizes who is lurking in the dark. Horseman’s Hollow dates are Oct. 7-9, 14-16, 21-23, 27-31. Online tickets are $20 ($25 on Saturdays). Fast Track, for a $15 per ticket upgrade, lets visitors skip the line in their timeslot. Historic Hudson Valley members receive a$5 per ticket discount. Philipsburg Manor is at 381 North Broadway (Route 9) in Sleepy Hollow. (There is a parking field.) Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze The Great Jack O’ Lantern Blaze, which drew more than 130,000 visitors last year, features more than 7,000 illuminated, individually handcarved jack o’ lanterns. Elaborate single-pumpkin carvings and huge multi-jack o’lantern constructions are professionally lit throughout the landscape of Van Cortlandt Manor in various themed areas. Favorite installations such as Jurassic Park and the giant spider web are joined this year by new creations including a plus-sized Pumpkin Planetarium, a Pumpkin Zee Bridge, and a brand-new herd of pint-sized dinosaurs all made of jack o’lanterns.

October is Plan-a-Cruise Month, CLIA Shares Top Reasons to Cruise (WASHINGTON, DC) — October is Plan a Cruise Month and Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) is celebrating all cruise travel has to offer by highlighting the benefits of cruising over land travel. From ease of travel to the best return on experience, cruise travel has a leg up on land-based travel any time of year. According to Cruise Lines International Association’s (CLIA) 2016 State of the Cruise Industry report, cruise travel is outpacing landbased general leisure travel by 22 percent in the United States. “Cruise travelers know that cruising offers a chance to completely customize your vacation and create the trip of your dreams,” said Cindy D’Aoust, president and CEO, CLIA. “The benefits of cruise travel over land-based travel are exponential and the cruise industry is excited to share them with travelers in honor of Plan a Cruise Month.” Five benefits of cruise-based travel versus land-based travel: • Convenient Cruising: The cruise industry is constantly expanding availability of ports, both domestically and internationally, meaning travelers have never had so much access to a cruise ship with many of them are within driving

distance of major cities. Cruising internationally also offers travelers a less intimidating chance to sample different destinations while negating anxieties about dealing with foreign airports, hotels and transportation. Cruising gives travelers the chance to see, do and experience great things from all over the world, packing as little or as much into their trip as they’d like, but their suitcase only needs to be unpacked once. • A Cruise for Every Traveler: A cruise vacation affords travelers a chance to create a trip that is completely customized to their tastes and preferences. Whether a traveler hopes to indulge in a luxe massage every morning or check out a spin class, a cruise can be tailored to every kind of traveler. From yoga classes for kids to craft beer tastings for adults, travelers of all ages don’t need to worry about being bored onboard. • Diverse Destinations: Both ocean and river cruising allow travelers to see exotic and unique destinations. Ocean cruisers can look forward to distant voyages around the globe and river cruises offer a chance to sail more intimate spaces. Whether traveling by ocean or river, cruises offer the chance to visit far ends of the Earth all in one single trip.

• Experts at the Ready: A certified cruise travel agent help travelers partake in a nearly hands-free vacation planning experience while also lending an ear for questions once onboard. Agents can help travelers maximize their dollars, tailor activities to each guest’s preference, and help scout out the best excursions, among other things. •Best Return of Experience: Cruising offers travelers

a window to the world within their vacation budget. Instead of having to worry about travel, hotel, transportation, meals and entertainment costs, many cruisers pay one flat fee and travelers are able to enjoy paradise.

Cruisewatch: Why You Should Book a Cruise Five Weeks Before it Sets Sail HANNOVER, Germany -- A study by cruisewatch.com, a next-generation cruise search engine with an innovative decision support system, finds prices for cruise sailings are cheapest five weeks before setting sail. Have you ever experienced checking cruise prices and finding they are high and then upon checking again later prices have decreased? The biggest factor you should consider in saving money is to determine the right moment when to book a cruise, says cruisewatch.com. Based on an elaborate study that considered more than 25,000 cruise sailings, cruise

prices drop the lowest five weeks before departure, according to cruisewatch. com. The best discounts, they say, can be found in the weeks prior to sailing, with average reductions of 4 percent for interior and ocean-view cabins. But that is just the average. Not fully sold sailings can be discounted up to 40 percent. “If you’re flexible regarding the cruise sailing, ship, or departure date, you can save big money by booking short term.

Unabashed gawking over movie stars BY CLAIRE LYNCH I found myself using the word “gawking” an awful lot recently – and then I stopped short because gawking is not a word I use often. At all. The reason was a camera crew company set up shop and started filming one Friday night in August at the apartment complex I live in. Management had told all of us residents ahead of time that this would be happening – and warned us about traffic jams, the inability to get in or out of the complex, a reduced number of parking spaces in the complex and so on. It turns out that the camera crew was filming an outdoor scene for the upcoming movie, “Going Places.” It is being directed by John Turturro who starts in it and who also wrote the screenplay. The film also features Susan Sarandon, Bobby Cannavale and Audrey Tautou. Sonia Braga is in the movie, too. She starred in the “Kiss of the Spider Woman” along with Raul Julia and William Hurt (which came out in 1985). It turns out that “Going Places” is a remake of the 1974 French film “Goin Places” (“Les Valseuses), which starred

Miou-Miou, Gérard Depardieu and Patrick Dewaere. It was directed by and based on the novel by Bertrand Blier. John Turturro’s version of “Going Places” follows a trio of misfits who constantly get into trouble. In the French film, Depardieu and Dewaere played young men who travel around France committing petty crimes and running from the law. When they make enemies with a gun-toting hairdresser, their journey becomes one of constant escape. (variety.com) It’s also a spin-off of the Coen brothers’ “The Big Lebowski” (1998) and John Turturro’s role as Jesus Quintana. Quintana is a loud-mouth opponent of the bowling league team that includes the characters played by Jeff Bridges, John Goodman and Steve Buscemi. The Quintana character spoke with a thick accent and danced backwards. So a new movie is coming down the pike. But first some filming has to take place. That sets the stage (figuratively and literally) for all of the gawking that went on near my place on Aug. 19. Early in the day the camera crews set up stage across the street in the parking lots of quite a few stores on Jericho Tpke. They were getting ready for a

night-time shot in our parking lot. Several trucks arrived and started unloading the equipment. The workers got organized then started dragging their huge camera equipment across the street for set-up in my complex’s parking lot. Workers rolled big black tripods across the street. Cables were carried carefully and other equipment was moved on carts from the north side of the street to the south side. They were busy as bees and everyone seemed to know what they were doing. With all of this moving of equipment, traffic on Jericho Tpke. in Carle Place came to a halt temporarily. They “rolled the film” as they say between about 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. Bright lights lit the scene. The workers were focused. Perhaps I’ll recognize the shot – and the setting – when the movie comes out. If I see it. The plot doesn’t exactly sound like my kind of movie. Not my cup of tea … Anyway once the trucks filled with the camera crews and camera equipment rolled in, people shopping at the adjacent stores were curious. What was going on? Which movie was being filmed? Which movie stars would they

see and more importantly, who would they recognize from the Big Screen? As I drove home from work on Jericho Tpke. that afternoon, I looked to my right and saw the throngs of people who seemed to be fascinated by all of the commotion. I guess it’s not every day that we have a film crew filming a big-time movie in a Carle Place parking lot. Parking my car, I went into my apartment, relaxed and ate dinner. My friend and I visited a friend’s apartment whose windows look out onto Jericho Tpke. We had a birds-eye view of the setting up and we were amused by the onlookers’ reactions. People were interested (read that “nosy!”). We had some cold drinks, chatted for a while and discussed the career of Susan Sarandon. I liked Sarandon in “The Witches of Eastwick,” my friend Sarah said that she was good in “Thelma & Louise” and Laurie said that she liked her in “The Rocky Horror Picture Show.” “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” came out a long time ago, 1975, but that’s what Laurie said she liked best.

You Can Save Social Security! BY TOM MARGENAU

There is no question that as the tens of millions of working and tax-paying baby boomers retire and turn into senior boomers collecting Social Security benefits, some adjustments will be needed to keep the program viable for future generations. As I pointed out in last week’s column, the system doesn’t need a massive overhaul. Just a few relatively modest tweaks to the tax and/or benefit structure will work. But even minor changes to the status quo cause consternation among both politicians and voters. Americans seem to be looking for easy answers in which no one’s benefits are cut and no one’s taxes are raised -- especially not their own! So here’s a chance for you come up with solutions to Social Security’s funding problems. Let’s see if you can save Social Security. Listed below are 10 commonly mentioned proposals for reforming Social Security. Four involve cutting benefits and four deal with raising revenues. Two more concern so-called privatization plans for the system. Next to each is a number expressed as a percentage. The number indicates the portion of Social Security’s long-range deficit that would be eliminated if the proposal became law. So if you can find solutions totaling 100 percent or more, you’ve saved Social Security! Also listed is a brief argument for and against each proposal. Proposals that would reduce benefits Raise the retirement age to 70 by 2060 -- a 68 percent fix. Why this is a good idea? --People are living longer, healthier lives and, with enough lead time, they would be able to plan for the delay in receipt of their benefits. Why this is a bad idea? --Would you really want to work until you are 70 years old? Employers will be faced with higher health care costs for older workers. Reduce cost of living adjustments paid to Social Security beneficiaries by 1/2 of 1 percent -- a 25 percent fix. Why is this a good idea? --Economists believe the current formula overstates inflation for seniors. Why is this a bad idea? --I’ve never met one senior citizen who believes the economists. Also, COLA reductions are cumulative. The longer you live, the more you will suffer financially. Reduce benefits by 5 percent for all future retirees -- a 35 percent fix. Why is this a good idea? --All retirees should share responsibility for shoring up Social Security. Why is this a bad idea? --Lower-income beneficiaries could not afford the reduction. Means test: Reduce benefits to

those making more than $100,000 -- a 50 percent fix. Why is this a good idea? --It ensures Social Security paid only to people who need it the most. Why is this a bad idea? --It would turn Social Security into a welfare program. Proposals that would raise revenues Raise Social Security payroll tax by 1/2 of 1 percent -- a 53 percent fix. Why is this a good idea? --The Social Security tax has not been increased in more than 30 years. This would be a modest price to pay for long-range Social Security stability. Why is this bad idea? --An extra tax burden would discourage savings and investment. Tax all earnings (current payroll tax base is $118,500) -- a 73 percent fix. Why is this a good idea? --It impacts only higher income people who can afford it. Why is this a bad idea? --It would be a huge tax burden for very wealthy. Make folks pay income tax on all Social Security benefits (currently only a portion is taxed) -- a 16 percent fix. Why is this a good idea? --All other pensions are fully taxed. Why is this a bad idea? --It would impact middle-income taxpayers the most. Require all state/local government workers pay into Social Security -- an 11 percent fix. Why is this a good idea? All working Americans should pay for Social Security. Why is this a bad idea? It would jeopardize many well-run government employee pension plans. Proposals that involve some form of “privatizing” Social Security Invest 40 percent of Social Security trust funds in private markets -- a 48 percent fix. Why is this a good idea? --It would yield higher rate of return than current Treasury note investments. Why is this a bad idea? --Protracted market downturns could have dire consequences on a national retirement system. And do we want the feds to own a major share of private corporations like Apple or Phillip Morris? Create personal accounts by diverting 2 percent of payroll tax to individuals -- a 0 percent fix. Why is this a good idea? --It gives individuals potentially greater returns and more of a say in their financial futures. Why is this a bad idea? --Individuals would assume all risks of retirement investments. There would be very high transition costs, running into the trillions of dollars, to switch to the new system.

--(This is a 0 percent fix because it does nothing to increase revenues or decrease spending. It merely diverts money away from the current system.)

between the last unsold rooms. If you are keen to get a special category, especially a suite, you should book your cruise early,” explains Nina Stumpe, a cruise enthusiast and cofounder of cruisewatch.com. Prices get more dynamic short term; more expensive cabins have less or no price reductions “Cruiseline’s prices are steered mainly during the last 100 days before departure. During this ‘hot phase,’ the biggest price decreases take place, especially for interior and oceanview cabins. Interestingly the balcony staterooms, which are more expensive, are reduced less, and suites don’t get any discounts,” Stumpe says. The search engine cruisewatch.com is offering a free price drop monitoring website that utilizes big data and machine learning to help customers find the perfect time to book their cruise. Users can get notified automatically when prices are reduced or when good deals are coming up. Even a price forecast is included on the webpage. “Cruise lines invest massive amounts of resources into revenue optimization. We are leveling the playing field and offering consumers up-to-date technology to make the right decisions,” says the cruisewatch.com cofounder.

Unabashed gawking over movie stars C ontinued from page D3 site to see some of the actual filming. It was a hot August night and people seemed to enjoy being out. The setup seemed to take forever so we had to wait, wait, wait. The area was coned off with those bright orange traffic cones and bystanders were kept back, of course, but we got to peek. Susan Sarandon wasn’t in the scene they filmed so she wasn’t there that night. John Turturro and Bobby Cannavale were so it was “Lights, camera, action!” Throughout it all, all I could think of was that people were definitely gawking. There is a difference between watching something and gawking.

There is a certain degree of sensationalism when people gawk. They watch unabashedly. They don’t care who sees them. Basically, they have no shame. They hope to rub elbows with some important people. They eavesdrop on other people’s conversations and hope they will hear some tidbits of information – about the filming or about the movie stars – they didn’t know before. If they are really lucky, they might get to shake hands with a star or get an autograph to take home and brag about to friends and family. According to vocabulary.com, to “gawk” is to gape, stare, or rubberneck without trying to hide the fact that you’re doing it. A “gawker” is someone who does this. A gawker might

eavesdrop on a neighboring table at a restaurant or peer towards a film set hoping for a glimpse of a movie star. Both gawker and gawk were coined in the U.S. in 1785 probably from the Middle English word “gowen,” meaning “to stare.” After all of that setting up and jockeying of cars in our parking lot, how did the filming go? It looked pretty good. Sarah, Laurie and I took a walk over and I started gawking myself. I listened to other people’s conversations to determine if I had missed anything important. I confess that I craned my neck to get a better look at the filming. Why not? I figured. It’s not often that a big camera crew with a pretty big cast comes to

Carle Place – in my own parking lot – and films a movie. I was hoping to get some autographs but didn’t have any luck that night. Maybe some other time. All I know is there was something in the air that night besides the humidity. There was a sense of excitement I had never seen before among my neighbors. People stepped livelier and chatted more excitedly. Some people spoke with neighbors they had never met before. I don’t know how this new movie is going to turn out but I do know that, for a time, there was plenty of excitement – and filmmaking action – here on Long Island!

Foods to See Better BY CHARLYN FARGO

Our eyes need the right nutrients to to help prevent cataracts, macular degeneration, glaucoma and other sight problems. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics offers five top foods for eye heath. --Kale: This leafy green is a rich source of lutein and zeaxanthin, which are related to vitamin A and beta carotene, and are believed to protect eye tissues from sunlight damage and reduce the risk of cataracts and macular degeneration. Other good sources of these eye-friendly nutrients include dark green leafy vegetables such as collard greens, turnip greens and spinach, broccoli, peas, kiwi, red grapes, yellow squash, oranges, corn, mangoes and honeydew melon. Your body needs fat to absorb lutein and zeaxanthin, so be sure to eat them with a bit of healthy fat such as a drizzle of olive oil. And kale also contains vitamin C and beta carotene, other eye-friendly nutrients. --Sweet Potatoes: These orange tubers are a good source of beta carotene, which may slow progress of macular degeneration. Your body converts beta carotene to vitamin A, a nutrient that helps prevent dry eyes and night blindness. Beta carotene and vitamin A also help reduce the risk eye infections. Other great sources of vitamin A are carrots and butternut squash, plus dark green foods including spinach and collard greens and liver, milk and eggs. It’s always best to get your nutrients from foods rather than pills. Your best sources of vitamins and antioxidants are from whole foods, since it may be a food’s combination of nutrients that have a synergistic healing effect. And, similar to lutein and zeaxanthin, beta carotene and vitamin A are absorbed best when eaten with a little healthy fat such as olive oil.

Strawberries: Fresh, juicy strawberries are a good thing for your eyes, and contain plenty of vitamin C, which is an antioxidant that can help lower your risk of cataracts. Also, be sure to load up your plate with other vitamin C-rich foods including bell peppers, broccoli, citrus (such as orange and grapefruit) and cantaloupe. --Salmon: Dry eyes? Eating enough omega-3 fatty acids can help alleviate the problem. Get some healthy fats every day in the form of salmon or other types of fish (two to three times per week), walnuts (which also include eye-healthy vitamin E), flax and chia seeds. Salmon is also a good source of vitamin D, which helps protect against macular degeneration. You can also get vitamin D by eating sardines, mackerel, milk and orange juice fortified with vitamin D. --Green Tea: A cup of green tea is more than relaxing and soothing -- its antioxidants may help lower risk of developing cataracts and macular degeneration. Green tea contains healthful substances called catcehins, which are responsible for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Other foods that are that are high in catechins include red wine, chocolate, berries and apples. Black tea also boasts catechins, but in lower amounts than its green cousin. Q and A Q: Are there benefits in consuming nuts in their raw form? A: Nuts are healthful, nutrient-dense foods that contain good amounts of fiber, protein, potassium, magnesium, antioxidants and heart-healthy monounsaturated fatty acids. They also are extremely versatile and can be used to make nut butter, ice cream, sauces and savory meals like pad Thai. Raw or roasted nuts have a very similar nutri-

tional makeup, and the oil used to roast nuts adds a negligible number of calories per serving. Steaming or roasting nuts may be required to kill harmful bacteria or mold. In California, where 80 percent of the world’s almonds are grown, steaming or fumigating the nuts is required by law, due to previous salmonella outbreaks. Therefore there are no truly raw almonds. Aflatoxin, a potentially cancerous mold found in very small amount sin some foods, may be reduced by roasting peanuts, which are technically a legume, but often categorized as a nut. Some raw versions of nuts and nut butters can be more expensive, as well. Nuts -- raw, roasted or steamed -- can add variety and good nutrition to any healthy diet. They are nutrient-dense, but also calorically dense, so monitoring serving sizes is paramount when enjoying them. -- Environmental Nutrition, October 2016. RECIPE Who doesn’t love cauliflower -- you can puree it into a crust, make it into a side dish or soup or eat in raw with a dip. It offers plenty of nutrition and very few calories. Here’s a recipe for Buttery Roasted Cauliflower that’s a great side dish. It’s from Cooking Light magazine. Buttery Roasted Cauliflower

4 cups small cauliflower florets 2 large shallots, cut into wedges Cooking spray 1 tablespoon canola oil 1 tablespoon butter, melted 3/8 teaspoon kosher salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives Fresh tarragon leaves Place a jelly-roll pan in oven and preheat oven to 450 degrees. (Leave pan in oven as it preheats.) Place cauliflower and shallots on preheated pan; lightly coat vegetables with cooking spray, and toss with oil. Bake at 450 degrees until browned and tender, about 15 minutes. Drizzle with butter; toss to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper; top with chives and tarragon, if desired. Serves 4. Per serving: 104 calories, 3 g protein, 10 g carbohydrate, 6.7 g fat, 8 mg cholesterol, 3 g fiber, 241 mg sodium.

BY MICHAEL CHRISTODOULOU, PAST PRESIDENT OF HICKSVILLE HISTORICAL SOCIETY

Historian Dr. Joanne S. Grasso was invited as a guest speaker by the Hicksville Historical Society at their General Meeting which took place on September 27 at the Hicksville Public Library. The theme of the lecture was “The American Revolution on Long Island” based on the speaker’s newly published book with the same name, the book has 160 pages filled with informative details and many photographs. In the beginning of the meeting, the President of Hicksville Historical Society, Derek Stadler, welcomed all the people who attended the meeting and asked everyone to participate in the Pledge of allegiance to the American Flag. After that, the President expressed his gratitude to Hicksville Public Library for the permission to use the Library’s facilities for the Society’s activities and programs. An announcement was made by the President informing the participants that elections took place on May 24, 2016 for the new Board of Trustees of Hicksville

Historical Society. The Board of Trustees of Hicksville Historical Society for the period of May 2016 to May 2017 is as follows: President: Derek Stadler, Vice President: Denward W. Collins, Jr., Recording Secretary: Richard Althaus, Corresponding Secretary: Jean Kaminek, Treasurer: Jessie Doyle, Publicity Officer: Robert Koenig, Trustees: Janet Bergholtz, Michael Christodoulou, Robert Kaminek, Benjamin Klimkowski, Mary Orlando, Hannelore Stadler. The President indicated that the speaker of the evening is Dr. Joanne Grasso, and the title of her lecture is “The American Revolution on Long Island”. Some details pertaining to the background of Dr. Grasso are as follows: • Dr. Grasso is an Adjunct Assistant Professor of History and Political Science. • She specializes in areas such as American Revolution and American Presidency. • She holds an interdisciplinary Doctor of Arts degree in Modern World History, two Master of Arts degrees in History and Government and Politics and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Politics,

Historian Dr. Joanne Grasso shares her knowledge with audiance.

Society’s Treasurer Jessie Dole gives her Report

Economics and Society. • She is a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Society for Historians of the Early American Republic, and the American Revolution Round Table in New York City. During her speech, Dr. Joanne Grasso, among other things, said: The American Revolution sharply divided families and towns on Long Island. Washington’s defeat at the Battle of Long Island in August 1776 started seven years of British occupation. Patriot sympathizers were subject to loyalty oaths, theft of property and the quartering of soldiers in their homes. The Battle of L.I., by some people, is called Battle of Brooklyn and Battle of Brooklyn Heights. The war events of the American Revolution of Long Island can be summarized as follows: • August 22, 1776 the British Army started battle preparations. • August 27, 1776 the Battle of Long Island took place in Brooklyn, giving the victory to British Army. • August 29-30, 1776 General George Washington evacuated his army from

Society’s Presidend Derek Stadler, and others, enjoying the lecture.

The meeting was attended, among others, by the President of the Hicksville Gregory Museum Richard Althaus, the Vice President of Hicksville Gregory Museum Roy Tringali, the former Trustee of Hicksville Public Library Janet Bergholtz, the Vice President of Hicksville Historical Society Denward W. Collins, Jr., the Corresponding Secretary of Hicksville Historical Society Jean Kaminek, the Treasurer of Hicksville Historical Society Jessie Doyle.
