Citizens group discusses Grumman pollution plume

GEORGE TO THE RESCUE

BY GARY SIMEONE A citizens group which calls themselves Long Island Pure Water Ltd. had its first public meeting in Bethpage last Tuesday to discuss the Grumman Navy plume issue. It was standing room only at the Bethpage Public Library as local residents packed in to listen to the presentation. The presentation included a history on the discovery of the plume and the potential health effects on people who live within the three-mile radius of the affected site. “We wanted to inform the community what was going on, and let them know about the pending lawsuit we had filed against the DEC and the Navy,” said Alyse Delle Fave, an environmental attorney and member of LIPW.

Lawsuit asks for investigation funding

The Town of Oyster Bay recognized the cast and crew of NBC’s “George to the Rescue” for assisting a Plainview resident. Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and Councilwoman Michele Johnson joined with the cast and crew of NBC TV show George to the Rescue as they revealed the newly renovated, handicapped accessible home for Plainview resident Alex Goldmeir. Alex, 23, was recently paralyzed from a ski accident in Feb-

ruary, and his spirit to overcome this challenge has been inspiring. Throughout the 6-week process of renovating the home, the Town’s Building Department worked diligently to make this process as quick and smoothly for Alex and his family as possible, to ensure that things were ready for his arrival upon completion of inpatient rehab.

Supervisor Saladino and Councilwoman Johnson took special occasion to honor and recognize the cast and crew of George to the Rescue as well as all the contractors and vendors who donated their time and efforts to make this possible.. The episode will be aired in the fall as George to the Rescue’s 100th episode.

She said the lawsuit, which was filed in February, is asking the Navy to fund an independent investigation into the cleanup of the contaminated area which comprises over 600 acres of the former Grumman property. Jim Rigano, an attorney in Melville, and a founding member of LIPW, said that the Navy and DEC have been uncooperative in the investigation efforts thus far. “The Navy and DEC have refused to investigate and they have no plans or intentions to investigate the site,” said Rigano. “The position of the Navy and DEC on this is simply outrageous.” Rigano said that the Navy’s assertion is that the high levels of radium discovered in the groundwater had occurred naturally and were not a result of contaminants entering the soil. LIPW brought forth the idea of drafting a petition, to be signed by members of the community, to urge state officials to pressure the Navy into funding an investigation. “The petition would be given to Senator Charles Schumer and other state representatives to compel the Navy to fund this independent investigation,” said Delle Fave. “Our ultimate goal here is have the Navy settle with us.” The LIPW plans to hold additional meetings on the investigation into the plume, and also plans to hold a citizens rally in Bethpage in September.

Soaking up knowledge at Levittown’s Camp Invention More than 100 Levittown students entering grades 3-5 have embraced the Levittown Public Schools’ Camp Invention this summer from July 16th-27th at Wisdom Lane Middle School. The two-week enrichment program, inspired by the inductees of the National Inventors Hall of Fame, encourages creativity, innovation, and collaboration through a variety of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematic) activities each day. With the guidance of certified teachers from throughout the district and student volunteers from Division Avenue High School and MacArthur High School, who serve approximately 50 hours assisting with the program, campers rotate to different locations in the building during the day. They engage in STEAM activities such as building their own futuristic mini man-

sions, customizing their own robotic dog in "Robotic Pet Vet", collaborating and crafting their own inventions in "Stick To It", and designing and testing tracks for their own Optibot, a self-driving bot that senses changes in light. “I like that you get to make stuff and can keep trying until it works,” said incoming Gardiners Avenue fifth-grader Jake Hoelderlin. “My favorite part of camp so far was making a mini mansion.” In addition, the campers participate in Camp Invention games on a daily basis that encourage teamwork, cooperation, and coordination skills. Creative problem solving skills are emphasized over winning or losing, and campers play and then reinvent classic games.

“A Spectacle in Motion,” “The Grand Panorama of a Whaling Voyage ‘Round the World” is Once-in-a-Lifetime Must-See at New Bedford Whaling Museum

Visitors can stand on the bow of the world’s largest model whaleship, the Lagoda, in the New Bedford Whaling Museum and watch the Panorama scroll by in a life-sized digital format projected in a full theatrical setting, and experience what Benjamin Russell and other whalers saw as they left the port of New Bedford and traveled the sea in search of whales. © Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com BY KAREN RUBIN TRAVEL FEATURES SYNDICATE GOINGPLACESFARANDNEAR.COM The New Bedford Whaling Museum calls its special exhibition a “A Spectacle in Motion” – a

title that proves to be anything but hyperbole. Imagine before documentary, before moving pictures, before photography, where the only way people could see images of places beyond their own experience was through painting,

etched drawings in newspapers, or scrimshaw. Now imagine a whaling voyage that starts in New Bedford and travels thousands of miles to Fiji, painted on one mural, nearly one-quarter mile long – the longest painting in America. I can only

G O I N G P L A C E S, N E A R & F A R ....

“A Spectacle in Motion,” “The Grand Panorama of a Whaling Voyage ‘Round the World”is Once-in-a-Lifetime Must-See at New Bedford Whaling Museum Continued from page D1 Panorama: Whaling Voyage Round the World. Three Miles of Canvas” a poster from the Boston showing in 1849 proclaims. Tickets 25 cents, half-price for children (at a time when the sailors themselves earned $1 a day). The mural, which is only rarely displayed in its entirety, has not been seen since the 1960s and is only on public view through October 8 by the New Bedford Whaling Museum, in New Bedford, Massachusetts (and very

possibly never again), is a documentary of the whaling voyage, and while it stays still, it is you that gives it motion as you walk down the long, long stretch of each of the four panels – altogether nearly one-quarter mile long. But in its day, it was designed to be rolled so that it did in fact create a moving picture. Coming upon this spectacle was one of the highlights of the Blount Small Ship Adventure cruise of New England Islands, all the more thrilling because it was completely unexpected, as most highlights and adventures are. Even

“The Grand Panorama of a Whaling Voyage ‘Round the World” by New Bedford artists Caleb Purrington and Benjamin Russell, depicts important scenes like the whale that rammed the whaler, Essex, the event Herman Melville used in his novel, “Moby Dick.”

as I was traveling in the van provided by the New Bedford Whaling Museum to travel the two miles to the historic Kilburn Mills, a sprawling building big enough to house the mural and the van driver (a 47-year veteran of the museum who had a hand in moving it and laying it out to be photographed), was trying to explain what it was about, I was completely unprepared for what I would experience. Indeed, that is what seeing the Grand Panorama proved to be: a thrilling experience and not a mere ‘viewing”. But as I climbed the flights of stairs to the fourth floor and got my first glimpse, it was, OMG. It took my breath away. Titling the exhibit “A Spectacle in Motion” was not over-selling. The mural, in four panels each that stretches the entire length of the mill, is as long as the Empire State Building is tall; it is the longest painting in America. The voyage starts in New Bedford, with the first section looking so much as it does from the water as we have seen, coming into port on Blount Small Ship Adventures’ Grande Caribe. Painted in 1848 by two New Bedford artists, Caleb Purrington and Benjamin Russell based on Russell’s actual around-the-world whaling journey, the mural daocuments every aspect of the places visited as well as key events. You see Pitcairn, settled by the Mutineers of the Bounty wound up; the scene as the whale rammed the Essex, the 1820 event that inspired Herman Melville’s “Moby Dick”; the island of Juan Fernandez off Chile, the temporary home of castaway Alexander Selkirk who was the model for Defoe’s “Robinson Crusoe.” It shows

in gory detail the harpooning of a whale, blood spewing into the water; the danger as whalers are thrown into the churning sea; the 1847 eruption of the volcano at Fogo, Cape Verde, spewing its orange-red lava; sailing through a dark furious storm. The last scene is in Fiji and the last panel is curious: it seems to depict two women, one giving birth and the other a midwife. I can only imagine the sensation that The Grand Panorama of a Whaling Voyage ‘Round the World caused when it was first exhibited in 1849 – before documentary, before moving pictures, before photography, when the only way to get a visual impression of some place beyond your own experience was through painted or drawn images. But this goes so far beyond. Over the course of 1,275 feet, the mural documents the entire whaling voyage, from its departure from New Bedford, to Fiji Islands. Along the way, it shows the blood, gore, the dangers and hardships of whaling. And because you move, it is the closest thing to a “moving” picture documentary they would have had. But where the mural transported these 19th century viewers to places on the globe they had never been – it was the 3D Imax, the Virtual Reality of its day- it transports us back in time. And in its day, it was designed to move – the scrolls cranked on either side and displayed on a theater stage. The New Bedford Whaling Museum calls the exhibit “Spectacle: A Voyage in Motion” in appropriate typeface that shouts its excitement. It is astonishing, captivating, awesome – on so many

levels – the sheer size and ambition, the quality of the art – the delicacy and fine line of scrimshaw, stunning use of colors – the insights into the events – the importance of the subject, and on top of that, the achievement of restoring the painting – and finally, the enormity and rarity of the work being displayed at all – just the process of unrolling it and hanging it for display damages the painting. The museum spent two years restoring the mural, which originally was shown by rolling it so that the images actually did move – and important details of that conservation process, along with historical notes, are provided that are fascinating. The mural is displayed in four sections that each cover the entire length of an historic textile mill (textile manufacturing displaced whaling when that industry collapsed, and then was replaced itself in the 1950s when climate controls made it possible to manufacture more cheaply in the South, which was then replaced by tourism). Given the extraordinary length, the fragility of the painting, the sheer cost of moving it, setting it up, and finding a room big enough to display it, this is the first time in generations that the entire Panorama can be seen by the public.

The outings and making lots of childhood memories BY CLAIRE LYNCH Certain things stick out in one’s mind like exotic trips abroad as adults and childhood day trips with special people. Just the other day I was thinking about a day’s outing two of my siblings and I had with my father’s parents in Brooklyn. I say with two of my siblings because there are six of us altogether. Every so often my grandparents would offer to have a few of us stay over at their apartment in Brooklyn whenever my parents had certain things they had to do. Because my brothers were much older they were frequently off doing whatever they had to do. Until I was six we lived in Flatbush, Brooklyn, so whenever my dad had to drop three of us kids off at his parents’ place it was an easy trip. Their place was about two miles away from our house so he would load us and our things into the car, drive up Flatbush Avenue, head west on Dorchester Road and make the turn onto Coney Island Avenue. The months of July and August were especially fun times for us because we were off from school and my grandparents knew that if they planned some

especially interesting outings, they would have our attention. We took lots of trips on buses to Coney Island – to the beach, to the ocean and to the New York Aquarium which was in Coney Island, down by the great Atlantic Ocean. I mention taking the bus because my grandparents never had a car, never had a need for one since their apartment was on Coney Island Avenue and the bus stop was practically right outside their door. They planned it that way and knew that they could take the bus or catch a subway which was also close by to go to spots in Brooklyn or to head west into Manhattan or east into Queens. One particular time stands out in my mind because it was a full, long day and because lots of moving animals caught our attention since it was Prospect Park Zoo. We heard about it a couple of days before we went. My parents said that we would be spending a few days with our grandparents and they had a special outing planned. My curiosity was piqued – I wondered where it was that we were going. When we arrived at my grandparents’ place they said that we would

like it and they were underestimating things – we loved the Prospect Park Zoo. This was in the 1960s when I was six and my sisters Michelle and Susan were nine and three, respectively. We went to sleep early the night before because my Grandmother said that we would need our “beauty sleep” and our stamina because we would be doing lots of walking and sightseeing. She got up early that morning to make us all some ham sandwiches and some bologna sandwiches. I remember hearing her filling some half gallon containers she had saved with lots of freshly-brewed iced tea and she packed some cookies for us all for snack time. Excited about the day’s events, we showered and dressed quickly and gathered at the door of the apartment to head out. We didn’t have to be told – we were ready to go. Since it was August we wore our T-shirts, shorts, socks and sneakers. Before we left the apartment my Grandpa double knotted the laces of our sneakers so they would be nice and secure. We left our flip flops at home this time since grandma said that we would need our practical walking shoes.

We headed down the three flights of stairs to the street and Grandpa ran slightly ahead of us to look for the bus. Sure enough he saw it just down the road. We had perfect timing, he said, and in just a few minutes the five of us were hopping on that city bus. I always felt secure riding around the city with my Grandma and Grandpa because they were lifelong Brooklynites and I knew that they knew their way around. It was a short ride to the Prospect Park Zoo which is located on Flatbush Avenue and we got off the bus excited about what we were about to see. I remember entering the big doors of the Prospect Park Zoo, getting our tickets and walking in to see lots of real, live animals right smack in the middle of Brooklyn also known as Kings County. I don’t remember every single detail of our day’s outing since I was six years old but I am sure that we saw some tigers and bears, some sea otters and peacocks. We saw elephants, buffaloes, lions, deer, hippopotami, moneys and more. Inside a building we saw all sorts of colorful birds. See page D6

Reduced Benefit Rates BY TOM MARGENAU

Q: Whenever you mention the reduction for early retirement, you always say it is “about one half of 1 percent.” So what is it? Is it one half of 1 percent? Or is it something else? Why the ambiguity? A: In this case, I think my ambiguous answer is better than the facts. And the facts are these: Retirement benefits are reduced five-ninths of 1 percent for the first 36 months of early retirement and five-twelfths of 1 percent for any additional months. To explain how we came up with those crazy numbers, I’ve got to give a little history lesson. When Social Security started in 1935, they set the retirement age at 65. And that was it. There were no other options. You had to wait until you were 65 to collect Social Security benefits. In 1956, Congress decided to let women (and only women) choose early retirement. They said a woman could start her Social Security as early as age 62, if she wanted. And they decided she should get 80 percent of her benefit if she took early retirement. Or to put that another way, they said there would be a 20 percent reduction if someone took benefits at 62. In order to achieve that 20 percent reduction, they had to set the monthly reduction rate at five-ninths of 1 percent. (36 months times five-ninths of 1 percent equals 20 percent.) Of course, a woman wasn’t stuck with just the two options of taking an 80 percent benefit at 62 or 100 percent at 65. She could start her Social Security at any age between 62 and 65 and get the appropriate reduction for that particular starting age. And over the years, men got a little peeved when they saw their wives taking early retirement, while they had no choice but to wait until age 65. They must have shared their resentment with their congressional representatives because, in 1961, the law was expanded to let men also start their Social Security at age 62 -- with the same five-ninths of 1 percent per month reduction rate. Things stayed relatively simple for the next couple decades. But the 1983 Social Security amendments included some major reforms. And one of those reforms was to gradually increase the retirement age (for men and women) from 65 to 67. I don’t have the space to show all the graduated steps here. But people born in 1938 had to be 65 and two months to collect full benefits. People born in 1939 had to be 65 and four months. It kept going up in two-month increments, until it reached a 12-year age 66 plateau for people born between 1943 and 1954. Then the retirement age starts to creep upward again. People born in 1955 have to be age 66 and two months to get full benefits. It keeps going in those two-month

increments until the full retirement age levels off at 67 for everyone born in 1960 or later. And even though Congress raised the full retirement age, they decided to keep age 62 as the early retirement age for everyone. And they also decided that the age 62 reduction rate should be 25 percent for people whose full retirement age would be 66 and 30 percent for people whose full retirement age was 67. And once again, working backward from those decisions, they had to set the per month reduction rate at five-twelfths of 1 percent. So that’s where we are today. As I said earlier, the reduction rate is five-ninths of 1 percent for the first 36 months that benefits are taken before full retirement age, and five-twelfths of 1 percent for all remaining months. And things get even messier when we start to talk about reduction rates for spouses. (In this part of the column, I’m going to refer to spouses as women -- not because I’m sexist, but because 95 percent of spousal benefits are paid to women.) Once again, things were simple in the early days of Social Security. At age 65, a woman was allowed to collect a benefit as a wife on her husband’s Social Security record equal to 50 percent of his full retirement rate. She had no other options. In 1956, Congress passed a law saying that a woman could start her spousal benefits at 62. They decided the reduction rate should be 25 percent at age 62. To achieve that, they had to set the per month reduction at 25/36ths of 1 percent. And then in 1983, when Congress raised the full retirement age, they also raised the retirement age for spouses from age 65 to 67 in the same incremental way, while once again keeping the early retirement age at 62. And for those added years, the monthly reduction rate was set a five-twelfths of 1 percent. So the spousal reduction rate is 25/36th of 1 percent for the first 36 months and five-twelfths of 1 percent for any additional months. But remember, this reduction is applied to the 50 percent spousal rate. To make this easier to understand, let’s look at this example. Frank’s full Social Security benefit is $1,600 per month. His wife, Mary, who never worked outside the home, wants to start her spousal benefits this year at age 62. Mary was born in 1954. That means her full retirement age is 66 and four months. In other words, she is taking benefits 52 months early. Her base spousal rate is 50 percent of Frank’s benefit, or $800 per month. Then the reduction factor is applied to that. Her benefit is reduced 25/36th of 1 percent for 36 months, or 25 percent. Then it is reduced five-twelfths of one percent for an addition 16 months, or about 6.7 percent. That is a total reduction of 31.7 percent. Or to turn that around, she is due 68.3 percent of her normal spousal rate -- about $546. Or to put that yet

another way, she is getting about 34 percent of her husband’s full retirement rate of $1,600. I can tell you this: I got a bad headache figuring out all these numbers and percentages and writing them down. I can’t imagine how your head must be hurting and spinning reading this stuff. So do you see why I try to keep things

simple? I just like to say that retirement and spousal benefits are reduced roughly one half of 1 percent for each month they are taken early. If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has the answer. Contact him at thomas.margenau@comcast.net. COPYRIGHT 2018 CREATORS.COM

Like a true documentary, “The Grand Panorama of a Whaling Voyage ‘Round the World” by New Bedford artists Caleb Purrington and Benjamin Russell, depicts the blood and gore, the danger and risk of a whaling voyage © Karen Rubin/ goingplacesfarandnear.com It was painted in 1848, by New Bedford artists Caleb Purrington and Benjamin Russell, who traveled it around the country as a commercial enterprise. ”With appropriate typeface that shouts the excitement, the panorama as a form of public entertainment was developed in Europe in the late 18th century and subsequently made its way to the United States after demonstrating its commercial potential to an armchair traveler audience. Robert Barker, who patented this exhibition style, defined a “panorama” as “all view.” He felt that spectators should feel like they were “really on the very spot,” that they should feel as if they were part of the scene in a surrogate reality, an imaginary “Grand Tour” of the world. This is precisely what visitors will experience. It was the Virtual Reality of its day. In the late 1840’s and early 1850’s, well before the age of cinema, the Panorama was designed and performed as a moving panorama, a form of entertainment where multiple scrolls moved across a stage similar to

The outings and making lots of childhood memories C ontinued from page D3 There must have been other exhibits, of course, and we walked from each one to the next looking at the animals as close up as we could get. The one thing we forgot that day was a hat for each of us so I remember my Grandpa going into the souvenir shop to get some caps to keep the sun off of our heads. It was a sunny, hot day so we all liked the idea of having a hat or a cap to wear. He got two adult caps and three kids’ caps that, if memory serves me correctly, said “Prospect Park Zoo.” We all put the caps on our heads and felt immediately cooler as we walked along looking at the exhibits and talking about what we were seeing. When something in particular caught our attention we would stop to take an extra-long look. We had arrived early at the Prospect Park Zoo and seen a lot of the sights so at lunchtime we went off to the side to sit at a couple of benches to have our lunch. Grandpa opened the two coolers he had brought along and Grandma unwrapped a sandwich for each of us. She also poured little Dixie cups full of the ice cold iced tea and we had a ball sitting in Brooklyn, at the zoo, having our lunch and drinking our cups of iced tea. When we were finished we tossed our trash and continued on, seeing the sights of the Prospect Park Zoo. It is 12 acres in total so it’s a good size and took

a while to cover. I remember looking up at the big, old buildings that make up the Prospect Park Zoo and looking up at the big, old fences that went all around the perimeter of the zoo. There were plenty of tall trees, also, so the zoo felt like an oasis in the midst of Brooklyn which we knew was part of New York City. When we got home late that afternoon and climbed the three flights of stairs, the three of us girls flopped onto the couch. We were exhausted from the fresh air, the sunshine and all of that walking around the zoo. Grandma got busy in the kitchen frying us all some hamburgers that had some melted cheese on top. She toasted the buns a bit on the pan, added a slice of pickle to each plate and topped off our hamburgers with a dash of ketchup. Each one of us had a big spoonful of baked beans and we washed everything down with the iced tea that we had left over from our day’s trip. It seemed to me that our dinner never tasted so good. We ate our dinner on paper plates that night which was unusual for grandma and grandpa to do because everyone was so tired from our outing that no one felt like doing the dishes. We just wanted to gather together to watch TV in the living room and whenever the commercials came on, to compare notes about what we liked

seeing at the Prospect Park Zoo. When bedtime came Grandpa opened the couch that was a sleep sofa and Susan and I flopped onto that. Michelle slept in the recliner that night and we all drifted off hearing the sounds of the buses coming and going below us on Coney Island Avenue. I’m sure that all of us slept soundly after our adventure. The fresh air and the feeling of being out in the country was a good one even though we knew that we were home in Brooklyn. When our parents came to pick us up a couple of days later we excitedly started telling them all about the Prospect Park Zoo. Each one of us had a specific exhibit that we liked a lot. They had been there themselves in prior years so they knew a lot of what we were talking about. Our excitement must have been contagious because when we all packed into our car and drove to our neighborhood, the ride seemed to go by so quickly. We all kept chatting and saying what was the best part about “that zoo in Brooklyn.” I don’t know which was better, the excitement of going to the Prospect Park Zoo for the first time in our young lives or hearing my Grandma and Grandpa busily preparing for our day’s outing. Before and after we went on “our outing” I could tell that both of my grandparents liked having kids around. They really seemed to enjoy all six of us

Lynch kids visit and made plans to see us whenever they could. I knew that they had had two sons of their own, my dad and my Uncle Paul, so they were used to children. Still, I think that they were pretty brave taking us to different things at Coney Island and at the Prospect Park Zoo when they were close to 70 and we were young children. Whenever we got on or off the city bus my Grandpa would help Susan, the youngest, by giving her a hand and she was glad for the help. Whenever we’d walk along the city streets Grandpa would gently say to Susan, “Come on, Dolly,” and I would smile a small, quiet smile to myself because I knew that he knew that “Dolly” really wasn’t her name but a term of affection. I guess Susan knew it, too, because she always responded. I know that the Prospect Park Zoo isn’t as large as the Bronx Zoo or the San Diego Zoo in California which I visited several years after my childhood foray to the Prospect Park Zoo. Still, the five of us had a great time seeing the sights and enjoying each other’s company. Family outings are fun at any age but I think that some of our childhood outings hold the most vivid memories for me. I may have forgotten some of the details of the trip but I remember the feelings. Oh, those family outings!

“A Spectacle in Motion,” “The Grand Panorama of a Whaling Voyage ‘Round the World”is Once-in-a-Lifetime Must-See at New Bedford Whaling Museum C ontinued from page D5 have been invested into the painting, it will no longer be shown in its original format – as a moving panorama – as this would undo the extensive work recently completed.” The Panorama drew crowds in the era of public entertainment before moving pictures and films. To celebrate this origin, the exhibition is coupled with dynamic and engaging programming all summer long. Live performances, contemporary artistic presentations, and other unique interpretations accompany educational programs and cultural celebrations. Plan on being dazzled for at least one to two hours. The exhibit is billed as a “once-ina-lifetime experience” and is free and open to the public, through Columbus Day, October 8, 9 am to 5 pm at Kilburn

Mill (the museum provides a free shuttle service every half hour from 10 am to 5 pm through Labor Day). The Grand Panorama: The Experience As the Panorama was being conserved, it was photographed at high resolution to produce this fully digitized recreation of the entire painting for the first time, allowing the Museum to create a exhibition of The Grand Panorama it calls “The Experience” – recreating the same experience the 19th century audiences had of seeing the original Panorama on a theatrical stage, with music and narration. You stand on the bow of the world’s largest model whaleship, the Lagoda, and watch the Panorama scroll by in a life-sized digital format projected in a full theatrical setting, and experience what Benjamin Russell and other whalers saw as they left the port of

New Bedford and traveled the sea in search of whales. This re-creates the experience that the 19th century viewers would have had, since the mural was originally rolled. The stage set is based on drawings and prints from the period and is installed off the Lagoda’s bow so visitors can experience the performance from the deck, from theater seating on the floor level, or from vantage points to the port and starboard of the iconic whaleship. Since the original score and narrative have been lost over time, they have been recreated and remastered for the new installation, and includes new research and points of interest. Visitors are able to dive deeper into the specifics of the Panorama story on a large, touch-screen, interactive kiosk. The kiosk will have thematic tabs on various subjects, including a map of the voyage, related Museum

artifacts and paintings, and the Panorama’s conservation history. You will be able to zoom in close to any scene or detail that interests you and get rich context for each section. Enhancing the experience, artifacts from the Museum’s permanent collections further illustrate Russell’s own global travels and connect locations represented in the Panorama with relevant ethnographic material and objects. Exhibitions that tell the stories of Yankee Whaling, the connections with the Azores and Cabo Verde, as well as the many stories told in the existing Whaling Voyage ‘Round the World exhibition help amplify the content of the Panorama. The Panorama in the context of its own time – the era of the “public spectacle” is explored in the exhibition, and includes complementing pieces from the Museum’s permanent Collection. While I strongly recommend the

incomparable experience of seeing the mural first-hand and this Virtual Reality experience, the museum will also have an online digital version, an interactive designed to expand access to the Panorama and to supplement both the Spectacle in Motion exhibitions, the Original at the Kilburn Mill and The Experience at the New Bedford Whaling Museum. While it will work on a phone or tablet it has been optimized for desktop viewing https://nbwm. maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapSeries/ index.html. The quality of the collection at New Bedford Whaling Museum - consisting of the merger of two private collections of whaling artifacts - is not to be believed, including what is claimed to be the largest collection of scrimshaw. I love the way the gallery rooms are like a warren – you come upon them. I love the theming of the rooms: From Pursuit to Preservation: The History of Human Interaction with Whales; Energy and Enterprise: Industry an d the City of New Bedford; Enlightened Counters: the Two Nations of Manjiro Nakahama (about a 16-year old Japanese sailor who was rescued and spent eight years in New Bedford, the first Japanese person to live here, then went back to become a major counselor to the Emperor negotiating with the US and England) and The East Unlocks its Gates: American Whalers and Trade in Asia. There is (of course) a Herman Melville room (while Melville never actually visited Nantucket before writing “Moby Dick,” he sailed from New Bedford on his whaling voyage), artifacts collected from around the world brought back by the whalers and opened the New Bedford people to the cultures of the world. There are sections dedicated to the Portuguese from the Azores and the sailors recruited from Costa Verde and how they impacted the

diverse community in New Bedford. I am introduced for the first time to Captain Joshua Slocum, the first to solo circumnavigate the world. There is the world’s largest model whaleship, the Lagoda, at half-scale that takes up the entirety of the Bourne building, that you can climb aboard. In addition, there is the Mariner’s Home that is used for exhibit, and the Seaman’s Bethel which offers a superb video about whaling. It drives home the theme that is so pressing today: “Trade: Expand American Ideas” (but also bring ideas back). New Bedford Whaling Museum, 16 Johnny Cake Hill, New Bedford MA 02740, 508-997-0046, www. whalingmuseum.org. They are contained within the New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park, a 13-block historic district of cobblestone streets, historic, stately buildings now juxtaposed with contemporary art galleries and funky restaurants and shops (my favorite: Sanctum – Folklorica: Apothecary and Witchwares, Tarot Reading). At the visitors Center, you can watch a 20-minute orientation movie and take in exhibits about whaling and New Bedford, “The City That Alit the World.” (www.nps.gov/nebe/planyourvisit). This was one of the incredible highlights of our own voyage aboard Blount Small Ship Adventures’ Grande Caribe, on the third day of a sevenday New England Islands cruise. We docked in the port along with the largest fishing fleet on the East Coast, and could look through etched glass of the same port in 1914 of our ship. Arriving by ship – we had come from Warren, Rhode Island to Bristol and had come this morning from Newport and will be going on to Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket - made this experience even more tangible.

Music skills soar during summer months

Approximately 65 students from the Levittown Public Schools are utilizing their time this summer to begin a new instrument or enhance their musical abilities with the district’s Summer Instrumental Music Program from July 2nd through Aug. 9th at Abbey Lane Elementary School. The annual summer program is open to those entering grades 3-12 in the district and offers two half-hour group lessons each week for students. With the guidance of summer music coordinator Iris Winter and music teachers Jill Castillo and Matthew Nobile, students receive personalized instruction with small class sizes in either band or orchestra. For those that

are new to a specific instrument, the summer program provides a head-start for students to familiarize themselves, while the program allows continuing musicians to practice and strengthen their craft. “It is important for the kids to continue their musical studies over the summer, not so much to become ‘virtuosos,’ but to stay in musical shape,” said Winter. “To keep what they have learned throughout the school year fresh in their minds and overall because it’s fun - new music, new ideas and even new friends.”

Free training program for unemployed Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino today announced that the Department of Intergovernmental Affairs has been awarded a grant from the New York State Department of Labor to train unemployed workers in Medical Office Administration or Medical Billing Specialist programs at Hunter Business School in Levittown. Upon program completion, Northwell Health and several other employers will interview trainees for entry-level clerical positions that offer opportunities for advancement and career pathways. Supervisor Saladino stated, “The Town of Oyster Bay and the Workforce Development Board are committed to bolstering local employment and connecting trained unemployed workers with employers. This new initiative will help unemployed workers acquire skills in the high demand fields of Medical Office Administration and Medical Billing. I thank Hunter Business School for working with us to develop a program that helps put unemployed residents back to work.” The 600-hour Medical Office Administration program offers a blend of classroom and handson training. Students learn computer data entry of patient information, patient files, filing systems and records, and billing and coding. They also gain expertise in computerized accounting using QuickBooks. In addition to courses in management and computer applications, students learn anat-

omy and physiology, health care administration, electronic medical records, insurance theory, and insurance claims management. Participants are trained in how to navigate Medicare, how to respond to medical emergencies, and in understanding healthcare law (e.g., Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, Occupational Safety and Health Act). The Medical Billing Specialist program is a 180hour program that prepares students to obtain entry-level employment in medical billing and coding in hospitals, medical insurance companies, and physicians' offices. Students learn accounts receivable, insurance billing, patient statements, superbills, appointment scheduling, procedure history, posting payments, diagnosis history, hospital rounds record-keeping, and referring doctor information. Program graduates typically obtain entry-level employment as medical office specialists, medical file coordinators, medical billing specialists, and patient coordinators in hospitals, clinics, or physicians’ offices. This program is coordinated by the Workforce Development Board (WDB). The Town of Oyster Bay, Town of North Hempstead and City of Glen Cove are proud members of the WDB. For more information on the program or WDB, please contact the Massapequa Career Center at (516) 797-4560 and business@oysterbay-ny.gov.

During the Levittown Board of Education meeting, held in Levittown Memorial Education Center on June 13th, the achievements of the district’s top spring athletes and artists were recognized. Division Avenue and MacArthur High School student-athletes and their coaches were honored for their season accomplishments in badminton, baseball, lacrosse, softball, tennis, and track. In addition, 59 students were recognized for having been selected as Art Supervisors Association All-County artists. The district also congratulated the 10 student-artists whose artwork

was selected for display in the hallway of the administrative offices. The district also thanked student liaisons Erin Cassano and Sonia Inderjit for their service to the district. Superintendent of Schools Dr. Tonie McDonald commented that their monthly reports about activities in the high schools were invaluable to central administration and the board of education. “The pride they displayed while reporting about their schools made us all so happy,” Dr. McDonald said.

From left: Wisdom Lane seventh-graders Emma Asmus, Gianni Bellucci, and Andrew Campa with their summer reading book. To kick off Levittown Public Schools’ annual Summer Reading Extravaganza, students in grades 6-8 at both Jonas E. Salk Middle School and Wisdom Lane Middle School gathered for an engaging literacy launch assembly to introduce the middle schools' new summer reading book, Because of Mr. Terupt by Rob Buyea. Wisdom Lane held their assembly on May 31st, while Jonas E. Salk followed on June 1st. Students packed the auditoriums where administrators and staff members dressed as characters from the book. To get the students excited about the storyline, each faculty member

walked up to the microphone with their unique costumes and told the students about who their character is. This raised questions in the students’ minds about the mystery surrounding the storyline and what happened to Mr. Terupt in the book. English Language Arts Director Kerin Slattery also discussed what the Summer Reading Extravaganza entails and why the district participates. Since the Levittown Public Library plays an important role in the program, Slattery introduced librarians from the public library who spoke about summer events held at the Library that coin-

The middle school students also learned that they can engage with their peers and submit projects relating to the book throughout the summer on a webpage that can be accessed through the district website, levittownschools.com. If students utilize the website and attend the library events during the summer, they will receive prizes and raffle tickets for the

opportunity to meet the author in the fall when Buyea visits the school. At the conclusion of the event, the students had the opportunity to ask questions about the program and each received their own copy of Because of Mr. Terupt to read during the summer, courtesy of the district.

Summer reading takes flight for middle school students

Friday, August 3, 2018

“When NYU Winthrop’s TAVR team replaced my heart valve, they gave me my life back.”

For John Elliott, sailing is living. He’s been on the water for most of his 91 years. In all three theaters during World War 2, as a merchant seaman, and for the last 70 years sailing out of the Rockaway Point Yacht Club. But recently John was so fatigued and short of breath, he could only walk a few steps. His aortic valve was failing. A condition that could lead to heart failure, and death. His daughter, a nurse, told John about a minimally invasive valve replacement procedure called TAVR, or Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement. She took him to one of the country’s leaders in TAVR: NYU Winthrop Hospital. They replaced John’s valve through an artery in his leg. In no time at all, he was back to sailing off Breezy Point. If you suffer from aortic stenosis, you may now be a candidate for TAVR. To learn more, call 1-866-WINTHROP or visit nyuwinthrop.org.
