Arrest made in armed robberies The Nassau County Police, Major Case Bureau, arrested a Hicksville man for several robberies that occurred recently in Hicksville. According to the Robbery Squad and Burglary Pattern Squad Detectives, defendant Juan Carlos Ortiz, 25, was observed in the vicinity of S Broadway, Hicksville smoking what they say appeared to be crack cocaine from a clear glass pipe. When Detec-

tives approached, the defendant fled the scene on foot, disposing of a white garment and the above clear glass pipe. After a brief foot pursuit, the defendant was placed under arrest. The white garment (a hooded mask) and pipe were recovered. Police say that after an investigation, they determined that defendant Ortiz was responsible for the followSee page 26

John Mikulin of Bethpage will take over the seat of past assemblyman Tom McKevitt after winning the 17th assembly district in a special election on April 24th. Mikulin, the Republican candidate, won the seat with over 2,000 votes against contender Matthew Malin of Seaford. “I am very happy that I won this election, but now it’s time to get to work,” said Mikulin. “I plan to work hard everyday and represent the people of the 17th assembly district to the best of my ability.” The 17th assembly district includes the towns of East Meadow, Levittown, Farmingdale, Bethpage, and Massapequa. He said that his top priorities are dealing with the opioid crisis that is affecting Long Island towns, lowering property taxes in the County, and recovering school aid from the State. “I plan to travel to Albany and advocate for our area and make sure we get our fair share of school aid,” said the 30 year old, who lives with his wife in Bethpage. “Too much school aid is going to New York City and not enough is going to Long Island.” In dealing with the current opioid epidemic, he said he wants to make sure insurance companies provide better coverage for people who are affected and harsher penalties for those peddling the drugs. “I want stricter penalties for people who are dealing these types of drugs by working together closely with law enforcement. It’s an epidemic that has to stop.” See page 26

Wisdom Lane students pen out of this world essays

Wisdom Lane seventh-grader Erin Alvarez, eighth-grader Gary Nepravishta, and seventh-grader Angelina Pilataxy were selected as Long Island Section winners in the 2018 Space Systems AIAA Essay Contest.

Three students from Wisdom Lane Middle School were recently recognized as Long Island Section winners in the 2018 Space Systems American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Essay Contest. First place seventh-grader Angelina Pilataxy, second place seventh-grader Erin Alvarez, and third place eighth-grader Gary Nepravishta, each won for their respective grades. They received cash prizes courtesy of the Long Island Section and invitations to an AIAA dinner with distinguished lecturer and aerospace historian Dick Hallion on June 13th. Pilataxy and Nepravishta will move on to the national level, as both their essays were sent to the AIAA Space Systems Technical Committee for being the best regional seventh-grade essay and eighth-grade essays, respectively. Nepravishta was selected as the local first place winner last year as a seventh-grader. With the help of science teachers Leslie Maynard and Vanessa Kowalczyk, Wisdom Lane Middle School students have been victorious each year, having participating in the contest since 2015. “Vanessa Kowalczyk and I both agree that the motivation for our students doing well is the fact that we have

done well in the past,” said Maynard. “They are inspired by the past winners and want to represent Wisdom Lane well. We both think they all have the ‘right stuff’ to go all the way.” All the students in Maynard’s seventh-grade classes wrote essays and she selected the best ones to enter into the contest. Members of Wisdom Lane’s Earth and Space Club, facilitated by both Kowalczyk and Maynard, all wrote essays to submit as well. Their challenge was to fit the essay contest’s theme in 1,000 words or less. Students were asked to describe the role of astronauts and their impact on NASA, their impact on the future of the United States and their role on international partnerships. Both Alvarez and Pilataxy wrote about the roles that astronauts play, while Nepravishta focused his writing on Michael Collins, an American astronaut. Pilataxy and Nepravishta will be notified in May if their essays won at the national level. If so, they will receive a certificate of recognition, have their essay published by AIAA, be awarded a cash prize, and receive a one-year free membership with AIAA.

Free rabies vaccination clinics for dogs, cats, and ferrets The Nassau County Department of Health and the Town of North Hempstead are partnering to offer free rabies vaccinations for dogs, cats, and ferrets. Open to all Nassau County residents, the vaccination clinic will be held on Saturday, May 5, from 10AM to 12PM at the Town of North Hempstead Animal Shelter located at 75 Marino Avenue in Port Washington. “This partnership provides an excellent opportunity for residents to protect their pets as well as their family against rabies,” said Nassau County Executive Laura Curran. “I urge all Nassau County pet-owners to take advantage of this free vaccination clinic, and I thank the Town of North Hempstead for partnering with Nassau County.” “Rabies vaccination for dogs, cats, and domesticated ferrets is required

by New York State law,” said Health Commissioner Dr. Lawrence Eisenstein. “Having an up-to-date rabies vaccination eliminates the need for pets to be euthanized or strictly quarantined for six months in the event your pet comes in contact with animals that are known to carry and transmit the virus. To protect your family and your pet, it is absolutely essential that your animals have up-to-date rabies inoculations.” In order to visit this free clinic, all dogs are required to be on leashes and cats, and ferrets must be in enclosed carriers. To make a reservation at this vaccination clinic, call the Town of North Hempstead at (516) 869-6311. For additional information on rabies contact the Nassau County Department of Health at (516) 227-9663.

THE VIEW FROM HERE

Some Irish Thoughts BY BOB MORGAN, JR. As this is written, I am on a flight back home back from a weeklong vacation in Ireland. For most of the trip, I stayed near Killucan in County Westmeath, about 40 miles west of Dublin, although the final day was spent in Dublin sampling pub life. Here are some random thoughts and observations. Although Ireland is significantly more cosmopolitan than it was a generation ago (there’s a more ethnically diverse population and you can easily find Asian and other foreign cuisines almost everywhere), much of the nation retains a country ambiance. Even places fairly close to Dublin, are still pretty rural. For example, for the first time in my life, I was awakened to the sound of sheep baaing, a sound (I learned) that has different tones depending on the age of the animal. Not surprisingly fresh lamb is a staple of dinner tables in the area. Consistent with the rural lifestyle, equine pursuits are quite important. Many young people like to ride and keeping a horse is relatively inexpensive. I visited a farm where my host was raising yearlings for sale in a few months (they were all running together in the fields) as well as boarding some older horses, including a mare in foal. Interest in horse racing is very widespread, with at least one television in a pub tuned in to a racing channel and the bartender willing to place wagers with the local betting service. I went to two days of the Punchestown racing festival, a premier meet for steeplechase and hurdle jumpers in a very out of the way part of County Kildare. The Punchestown crowds were huge, with a lively gathering of over 25,000 attendees on a Thursday and 33,000 on a Friday. It was a pretty upscale event, with much champagne flowing, and many of the people, both men and women, quite dressed up. The Irish are almost obsessed with the weather, talking about very frequently. This fixation is somewhat excusable in light of the extremely fickle weather patterns. It is very common for a day, or even

short period within a day, to have intervals of sun, clouds and rain. Because Ireland is frequently cold and damp, many of the Irish crave being in the sun far more than most Americans do. A ritual somewhat unique to Ireland is the singsong. After a meal has been completed at a dinner party, the participants frequently stay at the table and each perform songs in turn. I ended up at one of these musical gatherings, which went on for hours. I can’t say that I particularly added to the overall talent level, but a number of the guests, perhaps used to events of this type, had good voices and performance styles, typically belting out heartfelt renditions of traditional Irish ballads. Despite an ongoing debate on legalized abortion (a hotly contested referendum is scheduled for May 25), Ireland, especially outside of Dublin, remains a very Catholic place. I was invited to a First Communion Mass at the cathedral in Mullingar, the largest town in Westmeath. The huge cathedral was absolutely packed with the young communicants and their families. I was quite surprised to learn that the Mass I attended was followed by another First Communion Mass. All over town that afternoon you could see the celebrations of this religious milestone, something you would be unlikely to see elsewhere. The Irish are quite interested in the United States. Part of this is because so many of the Irish emigrated to the United States, leaving relatives at home. I was constantly reciting the story of my grandparents’ emigration and how my maternal grandmother was unable to obtain tickets on the Titanic. I can’t say that President Trump is particularly popular, but the Irish seem to like Americans and generally treat Americans well. The Irish way of life isn’t the same as ours, which is just fine with most people there. But a trip to the the country affords an American visitor many interesting and useful perspectives and experiences.

Plainview teen becomes a business entrepreneur BY GARY SIMEONE Plainview-JFK High School student Jake Solomon was 14 years old when he was diagnosed with the autoimmune disorder, celiac disease. But instead of despairing over his condition, he turned a negative into a positive, and decided to help others with his affliction. In 2015, with the help of his mother, Jake started a business called Smart Choice Protein, which sells gluten-free products to people with celiac. “We sell our own line of gluten-free products, which include edible cookie dough, pancake, and muffin mixes, and other types of dessert and breakfast foods,” said Solomon, who is now a junior at Plainview-JFK. “Everything we offer is high protein based and gluten free to ensure that people with celiac disease get the best necessary nutrients.” He said that his brand is distinctly different from other companies that sell gluten-free products. “We offer many different types of products with five or six protein lines. That’s what makes us stand out from the rest.” Jake and his mom spend three to four hours on a Sunday, baking the products at a commercial facility in Amityville.

E-mail submissions: editor@gcnews.com

The facility serves as a kitchen co-op and affords them the space to take care of their baking needs. All of the orders are sent out on Monday to customers across the country through the online website, smartchoiceprotein.com. Jake takes care of a lot of financial aspects of the business, including keeping track of and accepting customers orders. “We usually send out anywhere from 30 to 60 packages of food each week, depending on our customers’ need,” said Solomon. He said that his company has gained a national reputation through a lot of Instagram promotion and through various sponsors and athletes who use gluten-free products. “My goal is to have our company expand in the future and to be able to offer more healthy products to people.” He said that he plans to release a vegan cookie dough product in the next couple of weeks that has organic peet protein and a unique vegan protein powder in it. Solomon has not thought about where he wants to attend college, but said he would like to major in business administration or accounting.

NOW IS THE TIME TO SAVE ON GORGEOUS CARPET FROM KARASTAN.

When Carissa Giuliano first received the news that she’d won the Outstanding First-Year Student Award at Adelphi University, she was elated and shocked at the same time. “I couldn’t believe the news,” said Giuliano, who is a freshman at the school. “I was extremely honored and quite shocked because I didn’t expect to win.” She said that she learned of her award through an e-mail, after first completing a mandatory essay and then a follow-up interview with the school’s academic department. The criteria for the award includes academic excellence on the part of the student, as well exemplifying leadership qualities in their community and on campus. Giuliano has maintained a 4.0 GPA, and has been active in the school as a member of the Physics Club, school band, and part of the First Year Living/ Learning Community, a freshman orientation class. She also gives extra help to undergraduate students with their under level physics classes and works part-time as a theatre technician. Matt Wright, the Department of Physics chairman at Adelphi, nominated Carissa for the award. “Carissa is an amazing student,” said Wright. “Already as a first-year college student, she understands that education

is about hard work, challenging oneself, giving back, and leadership.” For her essay topic, Carissa researched and wrote about the five human senses, focusing her writing on the sense of smell. “To me, physics is everything, because it explains the world and universe, and gives us answers to a lot of our questions,” said Giuliano. Sarah Eltabib, a school faculty member and co-chair of the First Year Experience committee, was part of the interview team. “The interviewing committee found Carissa to be an exceptional student with a lot of potential,” said Eltabib. “We were incredibly impressed with her time management skills and her ability to reach out for support within the university. We found her not only be incredibly intelligent, but she was considerate, articulate, and talented in her own right. We are proud of our selection this year.” As part of her award, Carissa received a plaque and gift certificate and she will also get give a speech at the school’s Matriculation Day in late August. “The speech is what I’m most excited about because I’ll be able to impart some of my wisdom to the incoming freshman class,” said Giuliano. “I plan to talk to them about my freshman experience and help them understand all of the opportunities Adelphi has for them.”

East Broadway students shine in The King and I

The East Broadway Elementary School drama club performed The King and I for friends and family.

East Broadway students performed “Getting to Know You” from The King and I.

Drama club members in grades 3-5 at East Broadway Elementary School recently showcased their singing and acting abilities for family and friends during their evening production of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s The King and I. The students also performed two in-school performances for their peers. Director Sue Pokalsky, musical director Christine Conte, and assistant directors Debra Kirby and Stephanie Zervakos guided the students through rehearsals, practicing lines, and perfecting the musical numbers for the performances. Technical crew members Bobby Bottone, Jennifer Mazza, and Alexandra Mercaldo also assisted in making the production a success, along with chorographers Anna Bowman, Toni Carbone, Michaela Moore, and student helper Caitlin Barry. Students journeyed audience members back to 1862. British teacher Anna Leonowens (played by Delaney Renart and Maya Ramos) arrives in Bangkok,

Siam with her son Louis Leonowens, (played by Ronnie Rossi and Jack Sullivan), to teach the King of Siam’s royal children. The King (played by Michael Scioscia and Riley Schmutzler) holds traditions that Anna does not agree with, and the two struggle to find a common ground. Their relationship takes a positive turn when the King asks for Anna’s help to change his barbarian ruler image. The two soon form an understanding, respect, and love for each other. With the guidance of advisers Erin Cox and Amanda McCabe, the East Broadway stage was set to transform audience members to Siam with the help of the school’s set design club members. The cast, dressed in colorful attire, performed classic songs such as “Getting to Know You” and “Shall We Dance” to the delight of the East Broadway staff, students and their families.

Members of Division Avenue High School’s National Honor Society gathered to induct 61 new students into the organization.

A total of 144 high school students from both Division Avenue High School and General Douglas MacArthur High School were inducted into the National Honor Society on April 18th and 19th, respectively. District administrators, board members, family, and faculty were present for the evening ceremonies to watch as students were sworn in to the prestigious organization. Dressed in black and white attire, the students were guided into their corresponding auditorium by National Honor Society members. During Division’s ceremony, the chamber orchestra performed under the direction of Mark Martufi. Principal John Coscia thanked faculty members and families for their support and encouraged the inductees to celebrate today’s successes and “live in the now.” He also commended them on their positive role in the school com-

munity. “These 61 students are the cream of the crop of Division Avenue High School,” said Coscia. “They not only have fantastic grades, they have impeccable character and are the top leaders amongst their peers. Their future is extremely bright.” At MacArthur High School, members of MacApella harmonized the StarSpangled Banner and the string orchestra performed under the direction of Iris Winter. Principal Joseph Sheehan also shared his praises for the school’s newest inductees, while encouraging students to thank their loved ones for their support. “This evening, we honor an astounding 83 individuals who have distinguished themselves by their outstanding achievements in scholarship, community service, leadership, and charac-

ter, which make up the true definition of high school success,” he said. “We honor them because they have given above and beyond for their school and their community.” During the ceremonies, members from each school’s National Honor Society executive board conducted a candle lighting ceremony, with each candle representing the organizations values of scholarship, community ser-

vice, leadership, and character. Both high schools also recognized their 2018 National Honor Society Community Advocate and their Teacher of the Year, which was awarded to Division’s Advanced Placement economics teacher Bill Quinan and MacArthur’s business teacher Bill Farney.

To see how America came to be – and what really made America great – you need only

to join Parks & Trails NY’s annual eight-day, 400-mile Cycle the Erie Bike Tour from Buffalo to Albany. This year will be the 20th annual ride along the multi-use Erie Canalway, which closely follows the towpath along the original

Erie Canal that was built between 1817-1825, transports you 400 miles and through 400 years of history. Unfolding before you, at a pace that flows like a movie, are the pastoral scenes of See page D2

farmlands, the canaltowns that sprang up to handle the trade, the factories that emerged to manufacture the myriad inventions and innovations spawned by Yankee ingenuity, you cross Native American tribal areas, colonial settlements, Revolutionary War sites, and places connected with abolition and women’s rights. You see the rise and fall of industrialization and urbanization, and now, most marvelous of all, you see before you the reinvention, revitalization and repurposing of these villages, towns, cities and communities that the Eric Canal spawned. The Erie Canal turned a modest port called New York City into a global trade and financial center, New York State into the Empire State, and the United States into a global industrial power. It turned a subsistence farmer in the Midwest into a purveyor to the world, and not only transformed geography, but society. The Erie Canal “was the Mother of Cities” overnight, canal towns catering to the boat traffic sprung up from nowhere and cities like Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse mushroomed. The canal was an incubator for innovation and a transmitter for new ideas. It unified the nation, tying together East and West, and was the artery by which pioneers and immigrants made their way to the settle the frontier. Whether native born, naturalized, immigrant or visitor from abroad, you come away from this journey with renewed understanding of what it means to be an American. Besides being a marvelous carfree trail (mostly flat), with gorgeous

landscapes (you can’t believe this is New York State!), what distinguishes this bike trip is that it is so interesting – the sites and sights along the way. Every day is enlightening, inspiring, serendipitous. We go from urban to rural, pastoral lands and back to urban, from main streets into forest and into neighborhoods “tourists” would never see. There is so much to see, in fact, all along the way you have to make choices, which is why so many people come back multiple times. Indeed, this is my second Cycle the Erie tour. This is no typical bike tour. In the first place, it is one of the best managed, organized and supported bike tours you will ever experience – the 2017 ride (the 19th annual Cycle the Erie) which coincided with the bicentennial of beginning the building of the Erie Canal, July 4, 1817 - had a record 750 cyclists. The bicentennial of the opening of the Erie Canal will be held in 2025 (I’m already making plans.) Our ride is supported by 90 volunteers and you appreciate each and every one: people who go out and mark the trail for us to follow; truck drivers and baggage handlers; SAG drivers and bikers who are there to help if someone has difficulty on the trail; rest stop crew; food service people; bike repair mechanics; medical nurse; site-set up crew; even a massage therapist and yoga instructor. What is most impressive is how everything seems to be taken into account – texting us with a severe weather alert or some emergency, orientations that let us know what to expect from the trail and what to watch

out for and what weather conditions to expect, what attractions to look for along the way, the best places to stop off for lunch, the best ice cream stops and trailside breweries, even cycling safety talks (done with great creativity and humor). Shuttle buses are organized to take us from the campsite into town for the evening; they arrange for indoor camping (typically the school gym) as well as Comfy Campers (a service that sets up tent for you, the closest thing to glamping). There are shower trucks to supplement the indoor facilities; access to swimming pools; charging stations. The routes are well marked and signed, and there are as rest stops morning and afternoon with water, snacks and restrooms. Very often the towns and villages set up welcome centers for us on the trail with special snacks and bottles of water that supplement the rest stops. Museums and attractions stay open, early in the morning or into the evening to accommodate us; we get discounts on admissions, shopping and free shipping just by waving our Cycle the Erie wristband. The trail makes for superb cycling – most of the 400 miles are on the dedicated multi-use trail, about 75 miles is on roads (that is, until the trail is completed which is in the works by New York State). Much of the trail is crushed limestone; some of it is more rugged or overgrown (making it challenging when it rains); some is paved. The trail is mostly flat except for where we come off and ride the highway overpasses to get to our campsites, most typically on gorgeous grounds of private schools (which amazingly always seem to be at the top of a hill), and then we get to see neighborhoods that we would otherwise be unlikely to visit. And the people! A trip like this brings like-minded people who enjoy

camping, biking and discovery from across the country and around the world, and who very soon form a whole nomadic tribe. Sitting around tables at breakfast and dinner, or catching up with people on the trail, and finding people who step up to help with setting up a tent or fixing a broken pole, there is this marvelous sense of community and camaraderie. This year’s ride – with the most riders ever – drew people from 36 states including DC, 15 from Canada, as well as from as far away as Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom; the oldest rider was 84 (doing the ride for her 12th time); the youngest was 3, but the youngest selfpowered cyclist was just 8 years old. Three-fourths of us are doing the ride for the first time. There were families, groups like Troop 497 from Baltimore, and lots of solos. One couple rode to the start in Buffalo from Canada and was linking this 400-mile trip to biking down to New York City. The unexpected treat is how fascinating the historic sites are along the way – it is so intellectually and culturally satisfying. In addition to organizing our visits so that attractions stay open for us either early in the morning or into the evening, each day there are lectures or special programs, like music. Every day’s ride – averaging 50 miles a day but as much as 63 - is special in its own way – the sights, the experiences, the ride and its physical challenge. First timers tend to focus on the ride – making sure they can complete the distance (we travel at our own pace). But those who have done the ride before know they will be able to go the distance, so take more time to take in the sights; third timers or more explore even further afield – take that yellow brick road up to the Oz Museum, go for that farm-to-

table restaurant for lunch, stop in at the brewery or ice cream shop. This was my second time doing the ride – I did it two years before. There is so much to do – so many attractions and sites and experiences – that I tried as much as possible to do things I hadn’t done on the first ride. And then there is pure serendipity, like weather, which makes a terrific difference in the experience. Knowing what to expect (and that you have done the distance before) gives you the extra confidence to take more time to explore. Registrations have opened for the 2018 ride, the 20th Annual Cycle the Erie bike tour, which will take place July 8-15. (If you don’t want to do all eight-days, 400-miles, they offer two and four-day segments but then you would have to organize getting back to your starting place.) And We’re Off! The tour begins in Buffalo and a good portion of us drive to Albany (I’ve arranged a stay in Saratoga Springs before this ride) where we pull up to the Visitors Center, drop off our gear, then park in the adjacent municipal lot before boarding buses for the five-hour drive to Buffalo, where we camp at the Nichols School, a magnificent private academy. (If you don’t want to set up your own tent, you can sign up for Comfy Campers, a service which sets

up a truly comfortable tent, with air mattress and fresh towel daily; there is also “indoor camping,” typically in the gymnasium at the schools where we stay. There also are recommended bedand-breakfast inns along the way.) Our journey begins on Saturday night before the start of the ride on Sunday, on the campus of the Nichols School, a magnificent private academy in Buffalo, where we have a welcoming reception and gala dinner, and an orientation about the Erie Canal and our route (Those of us who are here early enough can join an optional pretour ride to Niagara Falls and around historic Buffalo, but those of us who have come by bus from Albany arrive just in time to register and enjoy a festive kick-off reception and dinner and orientation meeting.) The Erie Canal was the most successful public works project in America. Despite its cost ($7.7 million, the equivalent of $18 billion today), the opposition to the folly of Governor DeWitt Clinton’s “ditch” (nothing really changes) and the fact that the new nation did not even have the engineers nor the technology to build such a canal when the first shovel was put into the ground in Rome, on July 4, 1817, the canal actually quickly recouped See page D5

Thanking all of those special women on Mother’s Day! BY CLAIRE LYNCH Over the years I’ve looked around at the women in my life who have been supportive and who have served as role models for me. Some of them were relatives of mine. Others were teachers, friends and co-workers. All made an impression on me. My mother had an identical twin sister, my Aunt Laura, who we saw often. She had three children in Brooklyn and went to work every day in New York City. She always seemed to enjoy her job, taking care of her family and seeing the members of her large extended family every so often. I admired that. I liked seeing the relaxed, easy way they had with each other - and with their spouses. I liked the way they joked around. I remember that my Aunt Laura’s husband, Uncle Stephen, liked to watch Johnny Carson on TV every night and he always told the group about something funny that he or one of Carson’s guests had said and they would all laugh hysterically. In the way she conducted her life Aunt Laura was a role model for me. So was my mother’s other sister, my Aunt Julie, who went to college and graduate school and was a certified nutritionist.

I really admired the fact that while working full-time for the City of New York Aunt Julie went to graduate school part-time until she got her M.S. in Nutrition. She often told us why going to college meant so much to her and very early on, I wanted to go, also. My mother was a strong woman who knew what she wanted in life which was a family and she looked after all of us. My mother had worked a full-time job in Brooklyn before she married my father but once she had her six children she was a fulltime homemaker. Making sure that we all got to school then to our different after school activities and weekend happenings kept her busy. I’ve learned things many times over the years from my mother by the way she handled things. She often used humor to make her point and she would often give us examples of how things could be done better rather than just telling us what to do. She always had a twinkle in her eyes as she made her points so I always knew that she was concerned about our welfare - and that we should get whatever point she was making at the time.

This Couple Has a Couple Options BY TOM MARGENAU

Q: My wife and I both turn 66 later this year. (Our birthdays are just two days apart.) I’ve worked all my life and expect to get a full retirement benefit of about $2,600 per month. My wife has been a homemaker all her life and has no Social Security account of her own. So she will only be due a spouse’s benefit on my record. I am thinking of waiting until 70 to claim my benefits, while letting my wife claim her spousal rate now. I am doing this for two reasons. First, to get the 32 percent extra bonus added to both of our Social Security checks. But more importantly, I want to ensure my wife gets a higher widow’s benefit once I am gone. Do you think this is a good idea? A: It certainly is noble and generous of you to consider your wife’s future income when making your retirement decisions. But I’m going to give you some food for thought by comparing what you’d be due by taking benefits at 66 versus waiting until age 70 to file. However, before I do that, I must correct two misconceptions you have about the process. You said you were planning to wait until 70 to file for your own benefits while letting your “wife claim her spousal rate now.” She can’t do that. Or to put that another way, she can’t get any benefits on your record until you are getting benefits yourself. So if you wait until age 70 to file for retirement benefits, she would have to wait until she is 70 to file for spousal benefits. The second mistake you made is thinking that both you and your wife get the extra 32 percent credit added to your benefits. That’s wrong. You get the extra amount at age 70. But your wife’s spousal benefit will be based on your age 66 rate. In other words, when you take benefits at age 70 and get a 132 percent retirement benefit, she will get an amount equal to 50 percent of your age 66 benefit. Although, if you die first, her widow’s benefit will include the extra 32 percent. A wife does not share in her husband’s delayed retirement bonus, but a widow does. So now let’s go over your options. In option one, both you and your wife file for benefits at age 66. You would get $2,600 per month and your wife would get $1,300 per month -- for a total of $3,900 per month. That means in the four years between your 66th and your 70th birthdays, the two of you would get 48 Social Security checks totaling $187,200. (To keep the math simple, I am not going to try to figure future cost-ofliving increases into my examples.) In option two, you follow your current plan -- you wait until you are 70 to start your Social Security checks. With the 32 percent “delayed retirement cred-

it,” you would start getting $3,432 per month. And recalling what I said about your wife getting half of your age 66 rate, she will still get $1,300 monthly. So your combined income would be $4,732. That’s $832 per month more than you get in the first option. But remember, if you go with option two, you will have forfeited $187,200 in benefits between age 66 and 70. It would take you 225 months, or almost 19 years, to make up the money you lost by not going with option one. That makes option one look pretty attractive. But there is another side to that coin. Your wife does come out ahead after you die getting a higher widow’s benefit with option two. She’d get $3,432 in widow’s benefits if you wait until age 70 to file compared with $2,600 if you start your benefits at age 66 using option one. So now you and your wife have to sit down, munch on that for a while, compare the numbers, and decide which way to go. Q: I am 65 and started getting my own Social Security about three months ago. I just learned my ex-wife, who owned her own realty company and made big bucks, has recently retired and signed up for her Social Security. Can I now suspend my Social Security checks and then apply for husband’s benefits on her record and save mine until I’m 70 to get the 32 percent bonus? By the way, neither my wife nor I ever remarried. A: No, you can’t do that. If you had waited until age 66 before applying for any Social Security benefits, at that time you could have applied for spousal benefits and then saved your own until 70. But you still have a chance to do something. Anyone who files for Social Security benefits has up to 12 months to change his or her mind. In other words, you could withdraw your retirement claim. As part of that bargain, you would have to repay all the benefits you’ve received so far. Then when you turn 66, you could file a claim for divorced husband’s benefits on your wife’s Social Security record. You would get an amount equal to onehalf of her full retirement rate. You would get that until age 70, when you could re-file for your own retirement benefits and get the extra 32 percent added to your full retirement amount. So think about all of that. Do you think it is worth it to withdraw your current claim, repay all benefits you’ve already received, wait about a year, and then file for the smaller husband’s rate on your wife’s Social Security record and live on that for four years -- all to get an extra 32 percent added to your retirement benefits when you are 70? Q: I am about to turn 62 and I just heard some shocking news. I

was told that if I have more than $2,000 in the bank, then I will not be eligible for the SSI retirement benefits I’ve worked for all my life! Is this true? A: This is yet another example of people mixing up two entirely separate government programs: Social Security and Supplemental Security Income. The former pays retirement and disability benefits to people who have worked and paid taxes into the system, as well as benefits to their dependents

and survivors. The latter is a welfare program that pays a small monthly stipend to elderly or disabled people who are very poor. The $2,000 liquid asset limit applies to people getting SSI. You could have a million dollars in the bank and still get your Social Security checks. If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has the answer.

All of this will soon unfold before our eyes. Day One: Sunday, Buffalo to Medina, 54 Miles Unlike my first time doing the Erie ride, when we all left at once with great fanfare, this time, we leave the campsite as every other morning, at our own pace (except that we have to get our gear on the trucks between 6 and 8 am and have breakfast (5:30-8:30 am). Every morning during breakfast there is an orientation to that day’s ride (given twice, once for the early birds, 6:30 am and once for the rest of us, 7 am). They prepare us for road conditions, the weather forecast, alert us to any safety issues in the route, tell us about upcoming attractions we will come upon. We ride at our own pace. We form a line of cyclists on the fivemiles we ride through Buffalo’s streets before we get to the entrance to the Canalway The streets are well marked and there are police to help us through thoroughfares. It is exhilarating to be setting out. We ride a new section of the Canalway into Lockport – indeed, the goal of this annual 8-day, 400-mile ride is to raise money and awareness to close the gaps. And it’s worked! New York State now has an ambitious program to not only complete the entire Buffalo-

Thanking all of those special women on Mother’s Day!

C ontinued from page D3

for example, it would help us learn the lessons our teachers were trying to teach us. If we put our clothes away and kept our rooms clean then our things wouldn’t pile up. My mother, my two aunts and my grandmother looked after my Uncle Douglas who was the baby of their family. They protected him and looked out for him but they gave him enough space to grow and flourish. That’s what family is for. My cousin, Donna, who is the oldest of my brothers, sisters and cousins, always has something exciting going on. She is 13 yearsolder than I. She is extroverted and peppy and always interested in doing something new. Whether we went shopping together or danced around to some Elvis songs or some Beatles’ songs in her parents’ living room along with other people, Donna had a motherly way of keeping her eye on me to make sure that everything was okay. I saw a lot of Donna when we all lived in Brooklyn but when my family moved to Rockville Centre when I was six years old she made a point to keep in touch with me. She phoned my house often when I was in elementary school and high school to see what I was up to and I always liked hearing about what she was doing because it always seemed so exciting and glamorous. Her wedding in Brooklyn when I was 11 was one of the first ones I went to and remember vividly. That wedding was a fun time for all of us who went, one that we will always have memories of. A tall, thin person with long-flowing black hair, my cousin, Donna, always looked very glamorous like Audrey Hepburn or other Hollywood movie stars. It seemed to me that Donna always wore the latest, most stylish clothes. I looked up to her for her glamour and as a trend setter but when I mentioned that to her later, when I was all grown up, she just laughed off my compliment. She seemed glad, however, that I had noticed her outfits and her sense of fashion. After Donna got married and she and her husband moved to Suffolk County, she ended up having a son then twin girls so all these years my family has continued with the “twins” stories and anecdotes. I never saw Donna light up as much as on the day she had her twin girls. Even though my relatives got married and spread out geographically, they made sure that they got together to see everyone not just on the holidays but at other times, too. On this special holiday, on Mother’s Day which is on May 13, I think not just of my own relatives but of all of the women in my neighborhood where

I grew up. They looked out for the kids. In the 1960s and 1970s many women stayed home, like June Cleaver on “Leave It to Beaver,” and they believed that being a good homemaker meant looking out for other people in the neighborhood and the community as well as within their own families. I remember Mrs. Murphy, my next door neighbor who not only welcomed the Lynch family to the block when our moving van and car pulled up to our new house and two adults and six kids got out. What a surprise! Still, her first thought was that her children would have other children to play with since we were all more or less the same ages. Her second thought was for herself, that she might have just met a new friend in someone her own age, in my mother. That friendship lasted for more than 40 years. Mrs. Murphy had dinner on the table every night at 6 p.m., helped her kids with their schoolwork every afternoon and kept an eye on when we neighborhood kids got a game of baseball going in front of her house on summer evenings. But even more than that, I loved her for letting me sleep over at her house because one of her daughters, Nicole, was my best friend as a kid and we were pretty inseparable. Whenever the Murphys invited me to have dinner with their family and stay overnight, Mrs. Murphy always seemed to make my favorite dinner and dessert. We spent entire summer days together reading good books outside hoping for a breeze. Then we would discuss what we had read. Afterwards, her older brother, Rick, always used to tease us about looking like a couple of librarians with our noses in the books. Nicole and I also spent a lot of time talking about horses which was Nicole’s favorite subject. As a youngster of six, seven and eight I didn’t know much about them but I read up about horses pretty quickly so I would understand what Nicole was talking about. I learned the terms stallions, mares, fillies, etc. I read what bridle, cantor and gallop meant. I was a kid from Brooklyn so I wasn’t fully up to speed on the subject – but I learned. Going horseback riding was always Nicole’s top priority. She would save her birthday money or holiday money and when she was ready, Nicole would call to make a reservation to go riding at the local stables. Nicole and her siblings still remember and still kid me about which dinner really, really was my favorite one. My reaction? What a memory! Sometimes neighbors’ memories are funny memories. I think of my down the block neighbor, Mrs. Taylor, who was the mother of my good friend, Patty. She helped pick

me up and dust me off when I was nine and fell while playing a game with the other kids at the bus stop. I skinned both knees badly and, bruised and bleeding, Mrs. Taylor took me inside her home to clean me up and bandage me up before the yellow school bus came so that I could go to school as usual. I think of Mrs. Anderson who baked a cake for Peggy, one of our neighborhood friends whose birthday was the next day. She showed a few of us girls how to bake the cake from scratch (before that I used boxed cake mixes) and with all of our chatting and all of the excitement of baking I spilled some chocolate frosting on the front of my blouse. I said, “Oh-oh!” Mrs. Anderson saw the goppy mess and quickly gave me one of her daughter’s T-shirts to wear while she ran my blouse through her washing machine. We put the finishing touches on the birthday cake and the next day it was a hit with Peggy. That day Mrs. Anderson didn’t make me feel bad for dropping the chocolate frosting on my blouse. She just fixed the problem and we were on our way. On this special day I think of the teachers who were the most influential on me. I think about Mrs. Collins, my high school English teacher in Rockville Centre, Mrs. Collins, who seemed to have it all. I’ll always remember how her eyes lighted up whenever we were in class and she read parts of some books by Nathaniel Hawthorne such as “The Scarlet Letter” and some poems by William Carlos Williams such as “The

Red Wheelbarrow.” I could tell that she loved literature – as well as diagramming sentences like most other English teachers – and she loved her family, too. In time I found out that she had her challenges in life but I always liked the fact that she always seemed to genuinely love what she was doing. I could go on and on about all of the women and mothers who have had an impact on me but I will stop here. Mother’s Day is an unusual holiday for me in that I am not a mother. Still, I celebrate and honor all of the mothers I know who are so dedicated to their families and to helping other people. I learn from their unselfish examples every day. From them I have learned patience, empathy, tolerance and understanding. I learned how to be caring and how to be supportive of others. I retired recently after working in an elementary school for several years and having other women as role models helped me tremendously as I did my job and looked after the well-being of the students in my school. Whenever we had lockdowns, lockouts and fire drills I felt protective of my students and was always concerned about their welfare. On this Mother’s Day I stop and salute all of those women who help others every day so unselfishly. I thank them for everything they do and I would like to remind them about how much of a difference they make in the lives of others. Happy Mother’s Day to all!

Bike Expo New York (May 4-5) Relocated to Pier 12, Brooklyn; Venue to Pick up Packets for TD 5 Boro Bike Tour After six years at Basketball City, Bike Expo New York, the largest bike show on the East Coast, is moving to Pier 12 in Brooklyn New York, on May 4 (10 am to 8 pm) and May 5 (9 am to 6 pm). Less than a month before the event, Bike New York announced it had to move the Bike Expo New York due to unexpected maintenance at Pier 36 which prevented the nonprofit from obtaining a permit to hold the event at Basketball City, where the event has taken place for six years. “It’s no small undertaking to move an event that draws more than 60,000 people from all over the world, especially in this short a timeframe,” said Ken Podziba, President & CEO of Bike New York. “However, we are encouraged by all that Pier 12 has to offer and we will make every effort to ensure that the quality and experience of Bike Expo New York will be what our attendees and exhibitors have come to expect over the past six years.” The venue is accessible by public transportation, including subway, bus, and ferry; the ferry docks on site. It’s an 8-mile, 45-minute bike ride from Penn Station to Pier 12 (Clinton Wharf, Brooklyn, NY 11231). NYC Ferry operates between Wall Street / Pier 11 in lower Manhattan and Red Hook / Pier 12. (Check the schedule here; note that the Ferry has strict limits on the number of bikes aboard each boat and runs only once an hour on Saturday; plan accordingly and expect a longer wait.) Bike valet and car parking will be available, and there are several Citi Bike docking stations nearby.(see www. bike.nyc/events/bike-expo-new-york) The Expo, which is free and open to the public, also serves as the rider packet pick-up location for the TD Five Boro Bike Tour Presented by REI, which takes place on Sunday, May 6; like the Tour, the event benefits Bike New York, New York City’s leading bike education nonprofit. Among the 100-plus exhibitors are top bike, gear, and apparel brands, tourism companies, bike event organizers, advocacy groups, and many others dedicated to active lifestyles. In addition to exhibitor booths, Bike Expo New York is packed with programming for casual and serious cyclists alike, including a fashion show, how-to demonstrations, and competitions. The Expo will also feature a beer garden, beer samples from New Belgium Brewing, food trucks, and amazing views of Manhattan, Governors Island, and the Statue of Liberty. The TD Five Boro Bike Tour – which caps participation at 32,000 – is the largest noncompetitive bike tour in

Some 32,000 riders line up for the start of the TD Five Boro Bike Tour Presented by REI, the largest noncompetitive bike tour in North America, a 40-mile route that gives an incomparable view of New York City’s neighborhoods. This year’s Bike Expo New York, where participants pick up their packets, takes place on May 4 and 5 at Pier 12 in Brooklyn; the bike tour takes place on Sunday, May 6. © Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com North America. It is remarkable to consider that the first ride in 1977 had just 250 participants. The annual event raises money for bike education – 17,000 people a year learn how to ride, the largest free biking education program in the country. Bike New York operates bike education centers, after school programs, summer camps, and last year launched a Women’s Initiative, as well as a membership program. The ride is designed to be a family friendly tour, not a competition, appealing to cyclists of all abilities and ages – indeed, you see all manners of cycles. A pace car keeps the speed down, and keep it safe, and there are support vehicles to assist. The 40-mile route embraces all five boroughs – and each shows off its pride and character with street entertainment. There are also wellpositioned rest stops along the way which have a festive atmosphere.

The Nassau County Department of Health and the Town of North Hempstead are partnering to offer free rabies vaccinations for dogs, cats, and ferrets. Open to all Nassau County residents, the vaccination clinic will be held on Saturday, May 5, from 10AM to 12PM at the Town of North Hempstead Animal Shelter located at 75 Marino Avenue in Port Washington. “This partnership provides an excellent opportunity for residents to protect their pets as well as their family against rabies,” said Nassau County Executive Laura Curran. “I urge all Nassau County pet-owners to take advantage of this free vaccination clinic, and I thank the Town of North Hempstead for partnering with Nassau County.” “Rabies vaccination for dogs, cats, and domesticated ferrets is required by New York State law,” said Health Commissioner Dr. Lawrence Eisenstein. “Having an up-todate rabies vaccination eliminates the need for pets to be euthanized or strictly quarantined for six months in the event your pet comes in contact with animals that are known to carry and transmit the virus.” In order to visit this free clinic, all dogs are required to be on leashes and cats, and ferrets must be in enclosed carriers. To make a reservation at this vaccination clinic, call the Town of North Hempstead at (516) 869-6311. For additional information on rabies contact the Nassau County Department of Health at (516) 227-9663.
