Town to restore Levittown relic

SCHOOL SUPPLY DRIVE

BY GARY SIMEONE

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and the Town Board proudly partnered with Long Island Cares for their recent School Supply Drive, which took place over the months of July and August just in time for the new school year. The drive focused on collecting new school supplies for disadvantaged students.

DNA kit helps resident find lost family BY GARY SIMEONE

Plainview resident Stanley Borushik’s journey to find family members he never knew he had started with the website ancestry.com. After looking nearly 50 years to find his biological family, a recent DNA test he took, revealed a long-lost cousin and a half-brother and half-sister. “I was adopted when I was a baby and knew absolutely nothing about my biological family,” said the 76-year-old Borushik. “I have been searching since my 20’s with

the help of my wife, Vivian, to find any biological family members.” Borushik had to deal with bureaucratic red tape of the adoption agencies who by law seal their records to protect the adopting families. With the help of private search firms, he found out that the two people who actually adopted him were a brother and sister, who lied on the adoption papers about his real name and other crucial details. “I found out that my birth parents gave me the name Jerome Robert Roth on the original birth

certificate, but the name was changed legally in New York State to Stanley Jerome Borushik. I also discovered through a loophole in the state of Pennsylvania’s adoption records, that my biological mother’s name was Gladys Martin and my fathers name was Harry Roth.” The other big break in his search for biological family members came when his older son, Andrew, asked him to do a DNA test for the website, ancestry.com. “It was this past June when my

The concrete structure that sits near a strip mall off of Hempstead Turnpike has long held the curiously of Levittown residents and Hempstead Town councilman Dennis Dunne. Recently, the councilman uncovered the origins of the structure that resembles a miniature lighthouse. The structure was recently uncovered when Town workers cleared brush from the area near the Staples store on Hempstead Turnpike. “Most people know about Levittown’s rich history related to being the home of returning World War II veterans,” said Dunne. “This concrete structure was obviously a piece of Levittown history that has been forgotten by many, but I am proud to be able to solve this mystery.” Dunne said that the structure is what remains of a lighthouse that was placed in the area in 1977 by the Town as part of the LBJ Beautification of America program. “The lighthouse had been built at no cost to taxpayers, through funding through the federal government, during Lyndon B Johnson’s tenure as president. At the time the Levittown Chamber of Commerce, praised the initiative as a way to attract shoppers to the center at a time when malls were increasing in popularity.” The landmark beacon will receive a complete makeover, bringing the structure back to its former glory. Dunne said that his office has been in contact with Town carpenters, who plan to refurbish the structure. He is also seeking state grants that will allow for interior lighting to be placed in the lighthouse. He added that the refurbishing project would not be at the expense of taxpayers, as Town employees will use town owned materials to restore the lighthouse. Dunne said he hopes the work will be completed by the holiday season so that residents and shoppers will take notice. “If we can restore this beacon to its former glory and attract some more people to this area, it will be a victory for history and our business community.” Once the landmark is restored, the Town will seek landmark status to maintain the integrity of the structure.

New faculty join the Levittown Public Schools

Forty-four new faculty members received a warm welcome from the Levittown Public Schools’ central administration and Board of Education during a two-day New Teacher Orientation program on August 22nd and 23rd, held at Levittown Memorial Education Center. The orientation program allowed the new faculty members to get acquainted with the district and their fellow educators before the start of the 2018-2019 school year. Superintendent of Schools Dr. Tonie McDonald and Board President Peggy Marenghi congratulated and welcomed the faculty to the district as the group was introduced to Assistant Superintendent for Human Resources Debbie Rifkin, Assistant Superintendent for Instruction Todd Winch, Assistant Superintendent for Business and Finance Dr. Christopher Dillon, and board members. The faculty members participated in an ice-breaker activity, a workshop that focused on expectations and learned about the background of the school district and Levittown’s history. Ms. Rifkin and Mr. Winch educated the group about district policies and Todd Connell, director/IT manager of computer and media services, discussed district-wide technology and the digital resources available. The faculty also received payroll information from Dr. Dillon, learned about the district’s special education department, and took a bus tour of the district.

This year’s Golf Outing honoree was Lane Sieman of Long Beach, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Long Beach-based Chem Rx Pharmacy Services, a long-term care pharmacy servicing the medication-related needs of people in residential supportive apartments and homes, intermediate care, adult day care, assisted living, and skilled nursing care facilities. With the launch of ACLD’s Telemedicine Program in 2017, Chem Rx has been an integral partner in helping to decrease unnecessary emergency room visits for adults residing in ACLD community residences and apartments, which is why Mr. Sieman was selected as this year’s Golf Outing honoree. The two organizations have been working together for nearly three years. An ardent supporter of people of different abilities, Mr. Sieman spoke of his early life experiences while accepting his award that included his mother being a special education teacher and the fond memories of volunteering for the Special Olympics while growing up in the midwest. “ACLD Foundation is truly grateful of Lane’s support, friendship and commitment to our future,” said Alan Spiegel, ACLD Foundation President. “Lane has embraced the mission of providing opportunities for children and adults with autism, learning and developmental disabilities to pursue enviable lives, promote independence and foster supportive relationships within their communities.” Major sponsors for the event included: Presenting Sponsor - Long Island Elite; Tournament Sponsor Pilot RB; Ace Sponsors - Chem Rx Pharmacy Services

A Day in Nantucket: In Search of Maria Mitchell BY KAREN RUBIN TRAVEL FEATURES SYNDICATE GOINGPLACESFARANDNEAR.COM Nantucket is dramatic, of course, because of the whaling industry – an invention that revolutionized life by bringing light into winter’s darkness and what the oil meant to enabling the Industrial Revolution. We’ve arrived at this tiny island, just 45 square miles some 30 miles out to sea, on the Blount Small Ship Adventures’ New England Island cruise aboard the Grand Caribe. It is our last stop in the week-long voyage. For me, most fascinating part of our all-too-short visit to Nantucket is being introduced to Maria Mitchell – we are shown important sites associated with her on Gail’s island tour and at the Nantucket Whaling Museum. I am so inspired that I follow a self-guided walking tour that is delightful to give structure to exploring the town. I meet her again in a storefront display dedicated to her, and then follow the Maria Mitchell Foundation sites: the Nantucket Atheneum (she became the first librarian, at age 18); the Pacific Bank where her father was president; the Unitarian Universalist Church which she joined after leaving the Quakers; Mitchell’s House where she was born, the Observatory built after her death in 1908 and the natural history museum operated by the Maria Mitchell Foundation

This leads me to the Quaker Meeting House where I have a most unexpected – and fascinating - discussion of Quaker religion sitting in a pew.

“Quakers were the social cement of the community.” You couldn’t do business without being Quaker, but you could pretend to be Quaker. “Quakers were seen as activists,

Quaker Meeting House: “Maria’s skepticism and outspokenness resulted in her leaving Quaker Meeting-and being ‘written out’ by the Society in 1843.” Today, you can sit in the pews and get a better understanding of Quakerism, as well as visit the Research Library © Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com

The Quakers were considered heretics and banned by the Puritans because they believed in an “inner light”. They refused to pay taxes to the church or accept authority, or take oaths (for this reason, they couldn’t become doctors or lawyers). It went counter to the control mandated by the Puritans, Anglicans. “They would show up naked at an Anglican Church,” she tells me, which sparks a thought: Why isn’t Quakerism being revived today? It seems more consistent with modern-day approaches to organized religion. Most heretical of all: they did not require those they sought to convert to accept Jesus. “They did not require personal knowledge or acceptance of Jesus, just to find God through Inner Light.” “The Quakers were hanged, branded, their noses split.” But they found safe haven in Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard, because in 1661, Charles II ordered that all trials of Quakers had to take place in England. “They were safe in America since they wouldn’t be shipped back to England.” And over time, the Quakers toned down the “dangerous” rhetoric. “They were excellent businessmen. They valued education (to this day): boys were educated to 13 or 14 when

they were expected to join the whaling ships; but girls were educated to 17 or 18, so they had more formalized education than men.” The women, therefore, were left in charge of home, businesses and community when the men left for their whaling voyages. Centre Street was nicknamed Petticoat Row because women owned all the businesses. On the other hand, Maria Mitchell must have stepped over the line, because in 1843, even though her father was an elder, her “skepticism and outspokenness resulted in her leaving Quaker Meeting and being ‘written out’ by the Society.” The decline of Quakers in Nantucket followed the decline of the whaling business. A great fire in 1846 destroyed much of Nantucket’s infrastructure and the livelihoods of 8 out of 10 Nantucketers. When gold was found in California, in 1849, scores of whaling ships sailed for San Francisco and were sunk in the harbor there rather than return; when petroleum was discovered in Pennsylvania in 1859 as a cheaper, easier fuel, scores of Nantucketers went there. The ships, which had to be built bigger and bigger for the longer journeys, had trouble coming into Nantucket’s harbor because of a build-up of silt. Then the Civil War came – more than 300 Nantucket men joined the Union and 73 were killed; the whaling ships were easy targets for the

Confederates. The last whaling ship sailed from Nantucket in 1869. “By that point, Nantucket well out of picture,” the “Nantucket” documentary notes. “The city in the middle of the ocean was evacuated. It went from a population of 10,000 to 3000 in a matter of decades, like a sleeping beauty castle, waiting 100 years with only the memories of whaling.” Now, the docent says, there is only one full-time Nantucket resident who is Quaker. “We get 5 to 8 people for Sunday meeting.” During that time, people sit and meditate; they do not even read a Bible. I stop in at the Research Library where there is a stunning exhibition of needlepoint on display.

Don’t Listen to Your Friends About Social Security BY TOM MARGENAU

I get dozens of emails each week from people who are getting advice from friends and neighbors about Social Security. And so often, what they hear from these probably well-intentioned folks is wrong. I’ve saved up some examples and will share them with you today. Q: I took my Social Security at 62 and so did my husband. We are now in our early 70s. I have so many friends who tell me that they plan to take spousal benefits at 62 and then at 66, switch to full benefits on their own record. And they wonder why I never did this. Did I do something wrong? A: The only thing you did wrong is listen to your friends. I’m sure they are nice people, but they know absolutely nothing about Social Security. With one exception, no one can do what they claim they plan to do. You can’t take spousal benefits at 62 and then later switch to full benefits on your own Social Security account. What’s the exception? If any of your friends is a widow, she would have the option of taking reduced widow’s benefits as early as age 60. Then at 66, she can switch to 100 percent of her own retirement benefit. Or she can wait until 70 and switch to 132 percent of her own benefit. A widow’s other option would be to turn that around. Depending on the benefit amounts involved, it might be to her advantage to take reduced retirement benefits at 62 and then switch to 100 percent widow’s benefits at 66. Q: I have a friend who says that she is getting her own full benefit and she also is getting full spousal benefits on her husband’s Social Security record. But in some of your past columns, you said that a woman either gets her own benefit or her husband’s benefit, but not both. So who is right? By the way, I am not planning to sign up for Social Security until I come of age in 2020, but I am just making some plans now. A: Your friend is NOT right. No one can get full benefits on two different Social Security records at the same time. But you are not quite understanding what I was explaining in those prior columns. If a woman is due her own benefit, she always will be paid that benefit first. Then if she is due any extra benefits on her husband’s record, she will get the difference. Let’s look at an example. Say that when you turn 66, you will be due $1,000 from your own account. And then let’s further say that your husband is getting $2,600 on his record. You would be due $1,300 in spousal benefits from his account. You do not get $1,300 from him in addition to $1,000 from your own Social Security. You essentially get the

benefit that pays the higher rate. In this case, $1,300. But again, the law says you must be paid your own $1,000 first. Then you’d get an extra $300 per month from your husband’s account to take your total payments up to $1,300. Q: All my friends say I am not getting enough from Social Security. They say I should be getting half of my husband’s Social Security. But I get less than that. All of these women tell me they are getting half of their husband’s Social Security. What can I do about this? A: What you can do is stop listening to them -- at least, about Social Security. A woman get’s half of her husband’s Social Security if she waits until age 66 to claim spousal benefits. I bet you took benefits before you were 66 and that is why you are getting less than half. It might be as low as about one-third if you started your benefits at age 62. By the way, I bet not all of your friends are getting the 50 percent rate. I’ve learned over the last 45 years that more than a few people exaggerate the amount of money they get from Social Security, especially when they are talking to acquaintances. Q: I turned 65 last month, and I am still working. I never signed up for Medicare because I get full health benefit coverage from my employer. My friends at work tell me I am making a big mistake. They say I will pay a huge penalty if I delay signing up for Medicare any longer. Is this true? A: Your friends are generally right that people who do not apply for Part B Medicare at age 65 will pay a 10 percent premium penalty for each year they delay signing up. (Part B mainly covers doctor visits and lab costs.) But there is an exception for people who are still working and are covered by an employer’s health package -- like you. People like you are not required to file for Part B Medicare until they retire and lose their active employer’s health coverage. Having said that, you should sign up for Part A Medicare because it’s free. Part A covers inpatient hospital bills. Even though you probably won’t need it while you are still working, why not get it over with and apply for it? Again, it’s free. Q: I am about to turn 62. I am debating whether I should retire now and sign up for my Social Security, or wait until I am 66 to get a higher rate. My friends tell me to quit and sign up now because they say Trump has plans to cut Social Security benefits for future retirees. What have you heard about this? A: I haven’t heard of any plans the Trump administration has for Social Security. And even if he did have plans,

he can’t just make an executive decision to tamper with Social Security. Any changes to Social Security would require legislation from Congress. And there is nothing in the pipeline. So make your decision about when to start your Social Security benefits based on your answers to these kinds of questions: Do you feel like retiring? Do you want to keep working? Do you want smaller benefits for a longer period of time? Then retire and

apply for Social Security now. Or do you want higher benefits for a shorter period of time? Then wait until age 66 or even 70 to sign up for your benefits. Do you have a spouse who might be eligible for some benefits on your record? Then take that into account, too. If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has the answer.

Great Tips From Great Readers

BY MARY HUNT

I can’t think of a better day than today to reach into the mailbag and pull out a few great tips submitted by -- you guessed it -- my great (loyal, faithful, awesome) readers! PET-FRIENDLY BEDSPREAD As the owner of two cats, I finally found a wonderful bedspread with fabric durable enough to withstand the constant removal of fur and chafing of paws. Outdoor Living Tablecloths makes custom outdoor tablecloths using Sunbrella material. Following the directions for taking measurements, I ordered a custom tablecloth bedspread for my queen-size bed and have been using it for seven months. It has held up beautifully; it cleans like a dream; and for sheer long-lasting quality, I think the price is a great deal. -- Robin SAVING THE DISHWASHER I never used a rinse aid in my dishwasher, because we live in an area that doesn’t have particularly hard water and leave water spots on glassware. I learned the hard way that rinse aids (like Finish Jet-Dry) have another more important use: They help keep the dishwasher drain line running clean. I found this out from the repairman when our dishwasher wasn’t draining. The line was completely clogged. Yuck! -- Elizabeth SMELLY MICROWAVE Wipe down a smelly microwave oven with a weak solution of water and Head & Shoulders shampoo. Just fill a spray bottle with water, and add a couple of drops of the shampoo. Head & Shoulders shampoo will get the stink out of anything. Try it. -- Carol

PILLOW PROTECTORS I just read your cleaning procedure for stained pillows. Why not avoid the dirt and stains in the first place? I am aware of how disgusting pillows can become, so I buy waterproof fabric zippered pillow protectors from Walmart. They’re inexpensive, and they protect your pillows from equally disgusting dust mites. With a pillowcase on top, my pillows look brand-new. -- Rita SILICONE STENCH The easiest way to remove the odors from silicone (ice cube trays, the gasket on your Instant Pot) is to bake it. Preheat your oven to 250 degrees F (not one degree higher), and then set the clean-but-still-stinky silicone items on a sheet tray and into the oven. After about 20 minutes, give them the smell test. If there is still any trace of a lingering odor, return them to the oven for another 10 minutes. Provided these items are 100 percent silicone (that IP Gasket is, for sure), this will take care of the lingering stench of garlic and onions. -- Cate Mary invites questions, comments and tips at mary@everydaycheapskate. com, or c/o Everyday Cheapskate, 12340 Seal Beach Blvd., Suite B-416, Seal Beach, CA 90740.

How does classroom design impact learning?

Adults who think back to their time in the classroom may remember arrangements of rows of desks and industrial-looking seating. Classroom design was built around students facing the chalkboard, and teachers typically placed their desks at the front of the room to keep an eye on their students. Such arrangements have steadily been on the way out as classroom environments are changed to promote learning. According to the education resource The Professional Learning Board, different classroom arrangements have their own benefits and drawbacks. But the liberty to alter classroom layouts means teachers can experiment with what works for their teaching styles and which arrangements benefit their students. While rows may enable educators to see all students and keep them focused, students in the back may miss out and/ or lose focus. Circle arrangements work well for class discussions, enabling all students to congregate around the teacher and participate in the conversation. “Circle time” is a frequent component of pre-school and early elementary school lessons because it directs focus on the teacher and feels more intimate than laying the room out in rows. Group seating is another arrangement teachers may explore. Desks are

arranged so they form small tables. Students can work collaboratively and discuss assignments. However, maintaining focus may be challenging when students are facing other students and may be more likely to chit-chat among one another. A study involving fourth graders in Germany investigated whether certain seating arrangements promoted greater student participation. Traditional rows and a semicircular layout were studied. Children in the semicircle asked more questions, but in both layouts, children who occupied central seating locations asked more questions and participated more per lesson. Another study conducted in 2015 and published in the journal Building and Environment found that changing some elements of classroom design can increase student learning outcomes by 16 percent. Air quality, lighting and students’ sense of ownership of their classroom impacted the students’ abilities to learn more than seating arrangements,, advises the study. Giving children choices, including flexible seating options, such as bean bag chairs, mats or cushions, standing desks, sofas, or individual workstations, can help students find arrangements that are best for them. Furthermore, teachers who rearrange furniture so that classrooms

are cozy and inviting may see their students thrive. Lighting also is an important factor, particularly when glare can impact the ability to see smartboards or personal tablets, which are now widely used in classrooms. Natural light is preferred in classroom environments. In fact, students in classrooms with big windows and daylight progress more quickly in reading and math than those in dark-

ened rooms, according to a Heschong Mahone study cited in ScienceDirect. Overhead fluorescent lighting may interfere with student learning. Educators are urged to see their classrooms from students’ perspectives to evaluate how design may be impacting learning. A few easy changes can add up to big gains for students and teachers alike.

Ransomware is a form of malware (malicious software) that takes over a computer. Ransomware can lock down all operations on a computer and deny users access to their data. Computer users cannot reverse this lock down without the help of the hacker, who usually requires a ransom in return for a decryption key. The costs can range from a few hundred dollars to thousands, say IT experts. The U.S. Department of Education has warned that hackers are employing ransomware as they target schools with insufficient security. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, schools are particularly vulnerable because their security is not always up to par and they have information that’s of value to hackers, including students’ personal information. According to McAfee, more than four million ransomware variants have been detected online, a 270 percent increase since 2013, and ransomware is expected to be a continuing and significant problem for schools.

Tutoring benefits and how to find a tutor that fits

Children tend to learn at their own pace, and certain subjects may challenge them more than others. In many instances, students can benefit from working with tutors. Tutors can be very effective. Children who work with tutors and then see their grades improve may develop greater confidence and feel less anxious about going to school or taking tests.

Without intervention like tutoring, at-risk students (those who are not meeting academic standards) may not pass their classes, and some may face year-end retention or experience difficulty keeping up in the next grade. The National Tutoring Association says students at all grade levels participating in tutorial programs improve their reading performance and can achieve sig-

nificant cognitive gains. Tutoring can be the answer for students affected by inconsistent delivery of classroom content. For example, when families move, students may be forced to catch up in a new school where teachers may have different styles than students’ previous teachers. Students who have missed classroom time due to illness or injury may face similar difficulties. Sometimes children struggle because they have difficulty processing or remembering their lessons. In such instances, a fresh approach through oneon-one tutoring may be necessary. Parents and students have different tutoring options at their disposal. Some services may be offered through the school system at no extra charge. Pullout instruction during the day or before or after school might be part of such ser-

vices. Private tutors, academic coaches, peer tutors, online tutoring, and home tutoring are other options. Depending on need, budget and comfort levels, families can explore these and other options at their disposal. The NTA says families should not discount peer tutoring. Peer tutoring is a cost-effective way to improve performance. This type of tutoring also can contribute to students’ social and cognitive development. According to Care.com, which helps consumers find tutors, caretakers and babysitters, one can expect to pay an average $10 to $15 for a peer high school student tutor. Comparatively, a private tutor, whether it’s a professional teacher or a tutor hired through a service, may charge as much as $75 per hour. Parents should contact their children’s schools for information about tutoring programs. Schools typically keep lists of tutors or tutoring programs. Examine credentials and seek recommendations prior to hiring a tutor to get a feel for the person and his or her teaching philosophy. Certified tutors also can be found by visiting www.ntatutor.com. Keep in mind that it isn’t enough for the tutor to know the subject matter. He or she also has to relate to your child. According to the tutoring firm Test Prep Authority, motivation plays a key role in the success or failure of a students’ work with tutors. Motivation may be compromised if the tutor and student do not connect. Tutors also should know how to present materials in ways similar to how it is being taught in school so that lessons are in sync. Tutoring has helped many children gain confidence and succeed in school.

Children are in close contact with others at schools and daycare facilities, where germs can be easily transmitted. Children may not be as conscientious as adults in regard to the health risks associated with poor hygiene. These tips can keep students stay healthy and help prevent germs from being transported home, where they can affect other members of the family. • Hand washing is essential to good hygiene. Children should wash their hands with soap and water after using the bathroom, before eating and after playing outdoors. • Children can bring along their own tissues and use them when their noses become runny. Tissues should be promptly discarded after use. • Parents should ensure that fingernails are clean, as under the fingernails can be a breeding ground for bacteria. Clipping fingernails and regular hand washing can remove a number of germs. • Keep ill children home from school, especially if they have a fever. Kids should not return to school until they are fever- or symptom-free. • Toys and community supplies should be washed or disinfected regularly to kill germs. Cleaning classroom furniture regularly also can help establish healthy educational environments.

Warning signs of childhood vision troubles

Adults know when they are beginning to experience trouble with their vision. In such instances, men and women will book appointments with their eye doctors to determine what’s causing their problems. But whether it’s a fear or eyeglasses or simply feeling their symptoms are normal, kids might be hesitant to tell their parents about any vision problems they’re having. As a result, parents must learn to recognize certain warning signs that indicate their children are experiencing vision problems. Vision problems in youngsters can be especially problematic, as many of the lessons kids learn in school still begin on a chalkboard. The following are some potential indicators that kids might be dealing with vision problems that require medical attention. • Reading habits: Vision problems may be most noticeable when kids are reading. As youngsters learn to read, they might use their fingers to keep their place while they figure out the pronunciation of certain words. But kids eventually grow out of that habit. Kids who are still doing so long after they have learned to read may be having trouble seeing words on the page. In addition, kids who pull their reading materials very close to their eyes may be struggling to see the words. • Viewing habits: Peculiar viewing habits may also be indicative of poor vision. Kids who sit too close to the television may be struggling to see what’s on as opposed to just being overexcited to see their favorite shows. Kids who prefer to watch programs on tablets they can hold as opposed to televisions may also make that choice because it’s easier for them to see on their

tablets than on the television. In such instances, ask why they prefer tablets to television. When kids watch TV, ask them to move further away from the television. If they complain moving back makes it hard to see, book an appointment with an eye doctor. • Eye rubbing: Many kids, and even adults, rub their eyes when they are feeling fatigued. But kids who seem to rub their eyes frequently and at times of the day when they should not be tired may be experiencing vision troubles and feeling frustrated that they cannot see very well. • Eye activity: Some kids begin to close one eye when reading, watching television or attempting to read signs. That may be indicative of a refractive vision disorder, in which the eye struggles to focus, or refract, light correctly on the retina. Such problems can often be corrected with eyeglasses or contact lenses, but some refractive disorders may require surgery. • Squinting: Kids who squint a lot may be finding it difficult to focus on words on a chalkboard or even television programs. Squinting may also be brought on by a corneal abrasion. Parents who notice their youngsters are squinting should consult the child’s eye doctor to determine the cause of the problem. Vision problems can be especially harmful to children, who rely on their vision to perform their schoolwork. Parents who learn to recognize the various warning signs of vision troubles can nip problems in the bud before they have too great an impact on youngsters.

Promote healthy weight starting with school lunch Although there are a variety of theories behind the growing obesity problem plaguing North American adults and children, the most consistent findings point to caloric intake as the culprit. Here’s a simple equation to get to the root of the problem: Calories eaten > calories spent = weight gain. According to National Health Examination Surveys, adult obesity trends in the United States between 1976 and 2014 indicate the percentage of the adult population classified as obese has roughly doubled to more than 38 percent in the last three decades. Children may be learning eating habits from their parents, potentially contributing to rising obesity rates in children as well. Recent findings from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicate one in five school-aged children and young people in the United States is obese. In Canada, the Public Health Agency says roughly one in seven children is obese. Teaching children healthy eating habits starts at home and can extend to what students are given to eat while at school. The Center for Science in the Public Interest says schools across the country are working hard to improve school nutrition. Here’s how parents and school districts can help make school lunches more nutritious and delicious and lower in calories.

• Control snack intake. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says that more than one-fourth of kids’ daily caloric intake comes from snacking. Choosing smarter snacks may help reduce overeating. Good snacks can include grain products that contain 50 percent or more whole grains by weight; snacks in which the primary ingredient is a fruit, a vegetable, dairy product, or lean protein; snacks that are a combination food

that contain at least a 1⁄4 cup of fruits or vegetables; and foods that contain no more than 200 calories. • Read nutritional information. When selecting foods for school lunches, parents should read the nutritional information to make sure they know exactly what they are feeding their children. Select foods that are low in saturated fats and cholesterol and high in fiber and nutrient-rich fruits, vegetables,

grains, and legumes. • Go with water. Rethinking beverage choices can help control kids’ caloric intake. Many people don’t realize just how many calories beverages add to their daily intake. Even a six-ounce, 100-percent apple juice can include as many as 96 calories. Sodas and other soft drinks pack a hefty caloric punch. Water, seltzer and unsweetened iced tea are healthy beverage options. If milk is the go-to beverage, choose a reduced-fat version. • Introduce new foods. Children can be notoriously picky eaters, but with patience and perseverance, parents can introduce new, healthy foods at lunchtime. Yogurt, hummus and salsa are healthy and can add flavor to vegetables and fruit. When making sandwiches, exchange refined breads for whole-grain varieties. Choose lean protein sources, and go heavy on vegetables and fruits for natural fiber, which will create feelings of satiety. • Read the school menu. Let children indulge in ordering from the school menu when healthy options are featured. Urge them to try something unexpected, rather than sticking to chicken nuggets or pizza days. Healthy eating habits begin in childhood and can be initiated with school lunch.

Did you know that, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 25 million Americans, including roughly seven million children, have asthma? It’s true, and those numbers have steadily risen in recent years. Asthma is more than occasional wheezing or feeling out of breath during physical activity. Asthma is chronic and can lead to coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, fast breathing, and chest tightness, states the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. In the 21st century, people spend significant time indoors at home, school or work, and indoor air environments could be triggers for asthma. Improving indoor air quality can help people breathe clearly. The AAFA notes that the following agents can adversely affect indoor air quality, potentially triggering asthma attacks. Allergens Allergens such as mold, dust mites, pet dander and fur, and waste from insects or rodents thrive in many homes. Ensuring indoor air quality is high can cut back on the amount of allergens in the air. People with asthma can invest

in an air purifier and vacuum regularly, being sure to use a HEPA-equipped appliance. Routinely replacing HVAC system filters can help prevent allergens from blowing around the house. Also, frequent maintenance of HVAC systems will ensure they are operating safely and not contributing to poor indoor air quality. Mold can be mitigated by reducing moisture in a home. Moist environments in the kitchen and bathroom may promote mold growth. Ventilation is key to keep mold at bay. Tobacco smoke Thirdhand smoke, or THS, may be unfamiliar to many people. A 2011 report published in Environmental Health Perspectives says THS is an invisible combination of gases and particles that can cling to clothing, cushions, carpeting, and other materials long after secondhand smoke has cleared from a room. Studies have indicated that residual nicotine levels can be found in house dust where people smoke or once smoked. Studies have indicated that smoke compounds can adsorb onto surfaces and then desorb back into air over time. Keeping tobacco smoke out of a home can improve indoor air quality and personal health. VOCs Volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, are gases released from commonly used products. These can include paints and varnishes, cleaning supplies, air fresheners, new furniture, and new carpet. People with asthma may find that VOCs can trigger attacks. Airing out items, reducing usage of products that are heavily scented and choosing low- or no-VOC products can help. Making cleaning products from baking soda, vinegar and liquid oil soap also can keep indoor air quality high. Homeowners who plan to renovate their homes can consider using the appropriate specifications for HVAC systems to promote good indoor air, as well as address any other potential problems that may be compromising indoor air quality.

A Day in Nantucket: In Search of Maria Mitchell C ontinued from page D3 10-minute walk from Cisco Brewers.) The ever-shifting sandbars lurking beneath the waters around Nantucket have caused between 700 and 800 shipwrecks, making lighthouses necessary navigational aids. Besides the Sankaty Head Lighthouse which we have seen there are two others that are worthwhile visiting: Brant Point Lighthouse, standing at

the station with a light was activated in October 1784 (and destroyed by fire in 1816). The following year a stone tower was erected which stood until toppled in a storm in March 1984. The Lighthouse was rebuilt again in 1986, the stone tower made to replicate the old one, and still remains in operation today. Modern additions include solar panels to recharge the light’s batteries, and a sheet pile foundation and 5-foot thick concrete mat to help withstand erosion.

I’m back in time for the farewell cocktail reception, an open bar with delicious hors d’oeuvres. Dinner is lobster tail or prime rib (both fantastic); vanilla gelato or crème brule.

We are eating dinner when the fog starts rolling in most dramatically. Within minutes, it is difficult to see even the boats anchored nearby. The foghorn blasts every few minutes – which is funny as we sit in the lounge watching the movie, “Overboard,” when the blasts seem coordinated. (Jasmine, the cruise director, has opted for this romantic comedy instead of the movie “Perfect Storm.”) It will be a nine-hour sail back to Warren, Rhode Island where the Blount Small Ship Adventures is based. Captain Patrick Moynihan tells us to anticipate three to four foot seats for about an hour when we reach Rhode Island waters.

Endurance runner to address GLIRC

Bluefish Tournament in Town of Oyster Bay

Registration is open for the Town of Oyster Bay's 33rd Annual Bluefish Tournament, scheduled for Sunday, September 16th. “This all-day sporting event features hours of fun fishing followed by a tailgate party with refreshments, raffles, and awards,” Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino said. “The event is open to anglers of all ages but space is limited, so sign up quickly.” The tournament runs from 4:30AM to 4PM. Registration is limited to the first 350 boats with entry fees discounted for Town residents. Costs to enter are $35 for residents and $45 for non-Town residents. Councilman Tom Hand added, “This event always proves to be a great time for participants. Anyone who registers prior to September 10th will receive a

tournament T-shirt and be automatically entered in a special raffle. Residents can pick up registration forms at all Town facilities.” Raffle prizes include Solstice inflatable boats and Mercury outboards, rods, reels, ice chests, restaurant certificates, and more. In addition to plaques, winners of first through 15th place will be awarded gift certificates. Raffle winners must be present to receive their prizes. Co-sponsors of this year’s Bluefish Tournament include: Mill Max Corporation, Duffy’s Bait and Tackle, Bridge Marina, Compass Rose, Sagamore Collision, North Shore Fire Equipment, BMW of Oyster Bay, and Wall’s Wharf. For more information, call the Town’s Parks Department at (516) 797-4125.

Town Fall Youth Hockey registration

Accomplished endurance runner and Suffolk Federal Credit Union Vice President of Information Technology Eva Casale will be speaking at the GLIRC's September 25th Open General Meeting. The featured speaker at the Tuesday evening, September 25th Open General Meeting of the Greater Long Island Running Club will be Eva Casale, Long Island’s premier endurance runner. The meeting will be held in the Auditorium of the Plainview-Old Bethpage Public Library, 999 Old Country Road in Plainview, starting promptly at 8:00PM. Admission is free and the general public is most cordially invited to attend. Eva’s latest accomplishment was running seven marathons in seven days throughout Suffolk County earlier this year to raise money for veterans’ organizations. She has done this for three consecutive years, running a total of 184 miles in a week each of those three years to raise nearly $100,000 through her Team E.V.A (“Every Veteran Appreciated”). Her overall record of endurance running is nothing short of incredi-

ble, including more than 60 marathons and almost as many 50-kilometer runs (including finishing the Caumsett State Park USATF National 50 Kilometer Championship for each of the past eleven years). She has successfully completed the 126.2 Mile Rouge Orleans Ultra, and ran the Ocean to Sound Relay course out and back for a total of 100 miles in 2013. In 2015, she ran 150 miles from Manhattan to Montauk and raised $75,000 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in the process. Eva was part of a two-person team that ran a 200-mile relay to support organ donation. She donated one of her kidneys in 2006 to a perfect stranger, and most of her endurance running has been accomplished in the years after that donation. In her non-running life, Eva is the vice president of information technology for the Suffolk Federal Credit Union.

birth certificate, proof of Town of Oyster Bay residency (tax or utility bill), as well as payment. Check, money order, MasterCard, or Visa will be accepted. All registrants must bring these items, even if they have participated in the past. A parent or legal guardian must be present at registration. The program is held on Sunday mornings, and Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings. Registration fees are as follows:

• 5U: $200 for one child being registered ($300 for non-residents) • 8U: $325 for one child being registered ($425 for non-residents) • 12U: $325 for one child being registered ($425 for non-residents) • 15U: $325 for one child being registered ($425 for non-residents) All participants must provide their own equipment, and should have some skating ability. Games will be played at all three Town rinks, with game schedules being distributed in November. If you are unable to make these registration dates and would like to sign up for the program, please call Buzz Deschamps at (516) 433-7465, x8233.

From page 1 whole world changed again,” said Borushik. “I found out about a long lost cousin, Robert Marinoff, which led me to discover a half-brother and half-sister who were living in Pennsylvania.” He said by pure coincidence, his half-brother, whose name is Sam Wiener, was also doing a DNA kit on the website at the same time. Through the coordination of his son Andrew, he ended up speaking to them on the phone for over an hour and made plans to meet up with them for the first time in July. “Andrew came back to Plainview for his 30th high school reunion, and we all took a trip to Valley Forge in Pennsylva-

nia, where I met my sister and brother for the first time. We spent hours on end talking and exchanging pictures with each other. It was truly an amazing experience because I never had a brother or sister in my life before. I was raised as a single child.” In August, Stanley took a second trip with his wife to meet them at the cemetery where his biological mother is buried in Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania. The whole family stayed at a local hotel for threes days, catching up with one another. Borushik spends twice a week talking with his half-siblings on the telephone and plans to meet with them again for the holidays.
