March in Hicksville in support of DACA

SPECIAL OLYMPICS FALL CLASSIC

BY GARY SIMEONE

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino (second from right), Town Councilwoman Michele M. Johnson (third from right), Town Councilman Thomas P. Hand (right), and Town Clerk James Altadonna Jr. (third from left) recently attended the Special Olympics Long Island Fall Classic at Cantiague Park. Supervisor Saladino and his colleagues kicked off the morning with athlete and torch-bearer, Marion Nabar (center). The day-long event featured competitions in bocce, cross country running, golf, soccer, and softball.

Town says it would welcome Columbus statue BY GARY SIMEONE Columbus Day is quickly approaching, and Town of Oyster Bay officials, as well as local Italian-American organizations, honored the famous explorer at a ‘Save Columbus’ Initiative at the Massapequa Triangle on Monday. Officials such as Town Supervisor, Joseph Saladino, Councilman, Lou Imbroto and Town Clerk, James Altadonna Jr voiced their opinion about New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s recent proposal to remove the iconic statue from Columbus Circle. “We are here two weeks before Columbus Day to preserve and protect the legacy of the great Italian explorer, Christopher Colum-

bus,” said Supervisor Saladino. “We’re also here to call on New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio to abandon his pursuit to remove statues honoring Christopher Columbus.” Saladino added that if de Blasio and the City government do decide to remove the long standing statue, the Town of Oyster Bay would be honored to have it relocated to the Massapequa Triangle. “Make no mistake, Christopher Columbus’ iconic statue in Columbus Circle belongs right where it is. However I’m more than happy to welcome this or any Columbus statute to the Massapequa Triangle, the heart of our Hamlet.” Two important organizations

within the Massapequa community, the Columbus Lodge Order of the Sons of Italy and the Italian American Political Action Committee, attended the ‘Save Columbus Initiative.’ Former President of the Sons of Italy, Tony Ventiera, said that he was outraged by the mayor’s proposal to remove the historical statue. “This is an outrageous school of thought by people and it mocks an important figure in our country’s history,” said Ventiera. “First they’re going to eliminate Columbus Day and now we’re taking down statues!? This is a horror and I support this initiative all the way.”

On September 9th, 50 members of the immigrant community held a march starting in front of the LIRR station in Hicksville. The march was held as a result of President Donald Trump’s termination of the DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) program. Protestors marched from in front of the LIRR station to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s regional office on Old Country Road. Organizations who were part of the march included groups such as the Long Island Dream Act Coalition, Long Island Federation of Labor and the Long Island Immigrant Student Advocates. “As an organization that represents over 250,000 workers across Long Island, the Long Island Federation of Labor stands with DACA recipients and is in outrage over the termination of the Deferred Action Program,” said Roger Clayman, Executive Director of the LIFL. “Immigrants make up 20% of Long Island’s workforce, and without DACA, many workers across Long Island will lose their right to work legally, lose workplace protection, and the ability to fight employer retaliation.” The marchers took to the streets to ensure that Governor Cuomo would keep his promise of passing a new DREAM Act, passing driver’s licenses registration, and enforcement of a non-cooperation policy between ICE and local police departments. Nelson Melgar, a Nassau County resident and a DACA recipient was one of the marchers standing proud in support of the DACA program. Melgar, a member of the Long Island Immigrant Student Advocates, said that he and his fellow hard working immigrants would not be denied their rights. “Those who do us harm want nothing more than to see me retreat into the shadows,” said Melgar. “That won’t happen, I did my time in the shadows. DACA or no DACA, I will remain in the light.” Victoria Daza, of Long Island Jobs with Justice, said that it was important that local police departments not have a warped view of the immigrant youth population. “On Long Island, the local police’s anti-gang rhetoric combined with their cooperation with ICE has manifested itself as a war against immigrant youth,” said Daza. “Without DACA, over 10,000 youth are at risk of being detained by these predatory policies. We are urging Nassau and Suffolk counties to keep our communities safe and end police- ICE cooperation.”

A distraction from issues

To the Editor: Supervisor Joseph Saladino wants to make the Town of Oyster Bay a sanctuary town, a sanctuary, that is for Christopher Columbus statues. Yes, while the Town is on the brink of financial disaster and taxpayers are still reeling from a 11.5% tax increase, Mr. Saladino has made it a top priority to accept the statues of Christopher Columbus that are slated for removal from other towns. Adopting the President’s knack for distraction from real issues and promoting white causes at the expense of injustices against others, Mr Saladino has taken it upon himself to embroil the Town in a cultural debate when we really would like a debate over the issues that matter most to the residents of this Town. Taking another page from the

President’s playbook, Mr Saladino also has tried to quell any dissenting opinion on the issue. When several people, including myself, wrote comments on his official Facebook page expressing an opposing view and asking him to focus on real issues, he deleted those comments and even banned some of us from the page. I hope he realizes that as a public figure he is not permitted to ban someone from his public Facebook page. Remember this when Mr Saladino speaks of transparency, pretends to listen to the residents, and says that he is on top of the things that truly matter to the residents of this Town. And when he offers up Massapequa as the place where he would like to put some of these statues, remember that the name was derived from the very same Native Americans who Columbus exploited and harmed.

BY GARY SIMEONE They say that laughter is the best medicine and that was the case at the Brokerage Comedy Club last Sunday night for the ‘Comedy for a Cause’ fundraiser. The annual show, which is put together by the Pulse Center for Patient Safety Education and Advocacy featured a variety of Long Island comedians. “This event is an opportunity to attract a different audience to the issues of patient safety,” said Ilene Corina, Founder and President of PULSE CPSEA, which is based out of Wantagh. “It’s a way for people to have fun and also to introduce the work that we do.” PULSE CPSEA, formerly known as PULSE of NY, was formed in 1996. Its main purpose, according to Corina, is to empower patients and their families to be active members of their healthcare teams. “We train family members to be more experienced in bedside patient care through training sessions, workshops, and focus groups,” said Corina. “Medical errors are more common than

people realize, and research shows that involved and informed patients have better outcomes.” The comedy fundraiser, which is now in its fifth year, mixes people within the PULSE CPSEA organization and people who are going to comedy shows. Corina said the main goal of the fundraiser is to show people that medical or bedside care is not all about injury, death, dying, or medical mistakes. “We want people to see that it’s not a doom and gloom situation but that there are positive aspects of what we do.” The show took place from 7-10 p.m. and featured comedians on stage performing light-hearted, clean jokes to the delight of the audience. Ticket price was $20 and there were raffles and prizes included. The ‘Comedy for a Cause’ event is the primary fundraiser for PULSE CPSEA and this year the event raked in over $2,000 for Patient safety services and care.

Fall Oyster Bay Harbor Cleanup

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino (middle row seventh from left), Councilwoman Michele M. Johnson (back row eighth from right) and Receiver of Taxes James J. Stefanich (back row third from left) joined with hundreds of volunteers for the Annual Fall Oyster Bay Harbor and Beach Clean Up. These cleanup efforts are coordinated by the Town in conjunction with the North Oyster Bay Baymen’s Association (NOBBA) and Friends of the Bay. Held at multiple locations throughout Oyster Bay Harbor (Theodore Roosevelt Park, Stehli Beach, and Centre Island Beach), these cleanup events remove debris from local beaches and shoreline areas to help preserve waterways. In years past, each Harbor and Beach Clean Up has resulted in approximately 40,000 pounds of debris removed by volunteers. Supervisor Saladino thanks all volunteers who participated in this year’s initiative, as it helps preserve the precious ecology of one of the Town’s most valued resources.

The Levittown School District is pleased to announce that General Douglas MacArthur High School seniors Jared Schwartz and Helen Zhang have been recognized as two of 16,000 National Merit Semifinalists in the 63rd National Merit Scholarship Program. Both Schwartz and Zhang will now continue in the competition for one of 7,500 National Merit Scholarships worth more than $32 million that will be offered next spring. Approximately 1.6 million juniors in more than 22,000 high schools across the country entered the 2018 National Merit Scholarship Program by taking

the 2016 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQTÂŽ). Schwartz and Zhang are now part of the nationwide pool of semifinalists who represent less than one percent of U.S. high school seniors, including the highest scoring entrants in each state. Upon hearing the news that they were selected as semifinalists, both Schwartz and Zhang were excited. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It feels amazing,â&#x20AC;? said Schwartz. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It feels like all of our hard work over the past four years has paid off.â&#x20AC;?

MacArthur High School alumni inducted into Hall of Fame

MacArthur High School alumni Sal Carrillo, John Theissen and Sue Petersen Lubow were recognized as 2017 inaugural inductees of the Levittown School District Hall of Fame on Sept. 16.

It is the beginning of a new tradition in the Levittown School District, as a Hall of Fame has been established to honor and celebrate high school alumni who have touched the lives of many. Before the MacArthur High School homecoming game on Sept. 16, four MacArthur graduates were officially inducted into the district’s Hall of Fame. Surrounded by community members, administrators, faculty and students, the honorees were announced on the football field during the pre-game homecoming festivities and were presented with an award for being named 2017 inaugural inductees. Honorees included Sal Carrillo, a 1973 MacArthur graduate who owns Sal’s Place on Hicksville Road; John Theissen, a 1989 MacArthur graduate who founded the John Theissen Children’s Foundation; Sue Petersen Lubow, a 1971 MacArthur graduate who was the first female to become an athletic director at any U.S. federal service academy across the nation; and David Falk, a 1968 MacArthur graduate who became one of the premier sports agents in the nation, most notably negotiating the most lucrative contract (at the time) in NBA history for his client, Patrick Ewing of the New York Knicks.

He also represented NBA great Michael Jordan. Due to Lubow’s passing in 2015, her mother Hazel, husband Stewart and daughter Sarah were present to receive the award in her memory. Falk was unable to attend the ceremony, but was recognized for his impressive accomplishments. He will be the keynote speaker at MacArthur High School’s graduation this Spring. “Individuals are selected for the Levittown Hall of Fame based on contributions in a variety of areas, including music, the arts, science, education, athletics, philanthropy and others,” Assistant Superintendent for Instruction Todd Winch said. “We are so proud to recognize the contributions of these individuals to our broader society as they are examples of what we mean when we say ‘success for every student.’” The district will induct the remainder of the Hall of Fame honorees from both Levittown Memorial High School and Division Avenue High School at Division Avenue’s homecoming on Oct. 14.

Simple solutions for a better night’s sleep The importance of a good night’s sleep is well-documented. Numerous studies have found that the effects of a good night’s sleep go beyond boosting energy levels and improving alertness. A better sex life, less chronic pain and an improved mood are just a handful of the documented benefits that a good night’s sleep can provide. As important and beneficial as sleep is, many adults in the United States simply aren’t getting enough rest. A 2016 study from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that more than one-third of American adults are not getting enough sleep on a regular basis. Those findings are based on guidelines from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the Sleep Research Society that recommend adults between the ages of 18 and 60 sleep at least seven hours each night. Getting a more restful night’s sleep requires con-

certed efforts on the part of adults who are falling short of seven hours each night. But the following are some simple ways for adults to start getting more rest. • Stick to a routine seven days a week. People tend to alter their sleep routines based on the day of the week, with many going to bed later at night and sleeping in later in the morning on weekends. But the National Sleep Foundation notes that going to bed at the same time each day, including weekends, helps people feel more sleepy at bedtime and fall asleep quickly. • Avoid alcohol in the hours before going to bed. Alcohol can make people feel sleepy, but that effect is short-lived. The sleepiness many people feel after consuming alcohol wears off quickly, and that can lead to interruptions in sleep. • Avoid stimulants in the late afternoon and at

Chicken soup is good for more than the soul Cold season never seems to take a year off. Experts estimate that colds are so widespread that very few humans escape infection. Some people come down with colds more than once per year. That should not come as too great a surprise, as there are now thought to be more than 200 different strains of cold. For the past 50 years, researchers studied two classes of viruses responsible for a total of roughly 100 different incarnations of the common cold. Two years ago, after development of molecular techniques to look at the viral genome, researchers found a third class of rhinoviruses, according to James Gern, MD, an asthma specialist at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. This discovery doubled the number of potential cold viruses. While there’s no cure for the common cold, cold remedies have been around for centuries. Chicken soup remains one of the more popular cold remedies. Grandmothers have long espoused the virtues of chicken soup with regard to treating colds, but now research is backing up those claims. Researchers have long examined the

potential health benefits of chicken soup in an attempt to understand why it seems to be such an effective tonic at treating colds. A 1998 report found that broth may help improve the function of the tiny hairs in noses called cilia. The cilia help prevent contagions from getting into the body. Hot fluids also can help increase the movement of nasal mucus, helping to relieve stuffiness and congestion. Chicken soup also can help reduce inflammation, which often results as the immune system works to fight the cold virus. A study in the journal Chest found that chicken soup appears to inhibit neutrophil chemotaxis, which is

the movement of certain immune cells to mucus membrane surfaces. As a result, mucus production is inhibited and cold symptoms are reduced. Chicken soup is loaded with immune-boosting vegetables and other ingredients that provide phytonutrients. The American Cancer Society defines phytonutrients, or phytochemicals, as plant compounds like carotenoids, lycopene, resveratrol, and phytosterols that are thought to have health-protecting qualities. Chicken soup may also contain onions and garlic, which are believed to have natural antibacterial or antiseptic properties. An easily digestible comfort food, chicken soup also helps a person feel better because it effectively delivers vitamins and minerals. While some profess that homemade chicken soup is the key to fighting a cold, many commercially-made soups fit the bill as well. The salt, steam, vegetables, chicken protein, and soothing broth combine to form a worthy adversary to the common cold.

night. Alcohol is a depressant that can affect the quality of sleep a person gets. But stimulants can also make it hard to get a good night’s sleep. Nicotine acts as a stimulant in small doses, so smokers should stop smoking that last cigarette before bedtime if they’re not getting decent or adequate sleep. Caffeinated beverages also should be avoided in the late afternoon and at night because caffeine stimulates the nervous system and can make it difficult to fall asleep, even if it’s been several hours since that last cup of coffee. • Take short daytime naps. Some people find that daytime naps improve the quality of their nighttime sleep. That might be due to the link between naps and stress. A 2015 study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism found that short naps can reduce stress. Reduced stress levels can make it easier to fall asleep at night. Limit naps to between 20 and 30 minutes, as naps that stretch on too long may interfere with nighttime sleep. Sufficient sleep can have a dramatic, positive impact on a person’s quality of life. Developing a good sleep routine and employing additional strategies can help sleep-deprived men and women get more restful nights’ sleep.

School says farewell to beloved crossing guards

Crossing guard Theresa Joseph was surprised with balloons, flowers, and cards from students.

East Broadway Elementary School said farewell to crossing guards Theresa Joseph (right) and Maureen Rheel (left) on Sept. 15. It was a bittersweet day for Theresa Joseph and Maureen Rheel, two long time crossing guards at East Broadway Elementary School, who retired on Sept. 15. Superintendent of Schools Dr. Tonie McDonald, East Broadway administrators, PTA members, students and families bid the two a proper farewell as they moved into the next chapter of their lives. Joseph, a crossing guard for 28 years who spent eight of those years at the school, and Rheel, a crossing guard who served East Broadway students and their families for 16 years, received a big thank you from the school community once the final bell rang on Friday afternoon. Both crossing guards, who were stationed on opposite ends of the school, were surprised by Assistant Principal Jami Anspach, PTA members and students who showed their gratitude in

the form of student-made posters, cards and balloons. Families also showed their appreciation by giving flowers and cards as a thank you for keeping them safe. When asked how they felt about retiring after all their years at the school, Rheel shared her love of the community and how sad she was to say good-bye. “My heart is broken,” she said. “I love the teachers of East Broadway, I love the bus drivers of Levittown and I love these parents. They have become some of my closest and dearest friends. These kids are like my extended family. I love each and every one of them and I will miss them.” Joseph shared similar feelings. “I’m very lucky,” she said. “I loved my job.”

East Broadway Assistant Principal Jami Anspach and students wished a happy retirement to crossing guard Theresa Joseph on Sept. 15.

Best Places for Halloween: Spooks, Spirits, Ghouls & Witches Take Over October in Salem and Sleepy Hollow BY KAREN RUBIN No need to wait for October 31 for Halloween, and why should such a spirited festival be confined to just one eerie night anyway? Halloween festivities are under way in Salem, the epicenter for witchcraft and spooky stuff throughout October, with an official kickoff on Oct. 5 with the 22nd Annual Haunted Happenings Grand Parade, as well as weekends in Historic Hudson Valley where the Headless Horseman will again ride through Sleepy Hollow and pumpkins will be ablaze at Philips Manor. And, October 31 will feature the 44th annual Halloween Parade, in New York City, the biggest public Halloween parade in the world (you have to be in costume to march in the parade), this year themed, “Cabinet of Curiosities: An Imaginary Menagerie,” but there are many opportunities to participate, like taking part in the puppet-making workshops, during the month.

22nd Annual Haunted Happenings in Salem Salem’s 22nd Annual Haunted Happenings kicks off at 6:30 pm on Oct. 5 with its Grand Parade through downtown Salem. This year’s event is themed “Movie Monsters”. This time honored kick off of the Halloween season is full of color, pageantry, music and the enthusiasm of thousands of Salem’s students from kindergarten to college and our local business owners.

A pod, a pack, a pandemonium – What’s that? BY CLAIRE LYNCH I was watching an animal channel on TV recently when the subject came up about what the various groups of animals are called. We’ve all heard that people call a group of lions a pride. It’s pretty common knowledge that groups of dogs run in packs and so do wolves. We call it a herd of cattle. We know that a flock of birds often heads south to warmer temperatures each fall to avoid the cold winters we have here in the North. Like people, we could call them “snowbirds” who live up North but who fly south to Florida for a few months’ vacation. My friend and I were puzzled about the names of collective groups of animals and after talking about it and talking some more, we decided to look up a few of them. This is what we found out. A “gaggle” of geese is when the geese are on the ground. When they are in flight, it is called a “skein” of geese. (I knew the term “skein” from a skein of yarn but I never knew this before about geese in flight.) When flying in a V formation, they are referred to as a

“wedge.” I never imagined that. I never knew that several hyenas together are called a cackle. Or that a bunch of kangaroos is a mob or a troop. A group of leopards is called a leap. Several chicks all grouped together is a clutch. A tribe or troop is the term for a group of monkeys. It is a swarm of bees. A cloud or cauldron of bats. A zeal of zebras. A school of fish. A smack of jellyfish. An army of caterpillars. A prickle of porcupines. A colony or family of beavers. A pace of donkeys. A gang of elk. An ostentation of peacocks. A mustering of storks. A romp of otters. A streak or ambush of tigers. A litter of puppies. Some terms I’ve rarely heard are: A flamboyance of flamingos. A murder or horde of crows.

A volt of vultures. A pandemonium of parrots. A bed of eels. A compact knit of toads. A fever of stingrays. An audience of squid. A squabble of seagulls. A domain of crocodiles. A congregation of alligators. A mob of emus. An implausibility of gnus. A parliament of burrowing owls. A murmuration of starlings. A flight of doves. A conspiracy of lemurs. A shiver of sharks.

A mob of meerkats. A mess of iguanas. A gaze of raccoons. A pod of whales. A plum of seals. A rag of colts. A scold of jays. A rangale of deer. A whoop of gorillas. A business of flies. An army of frogs. A rhumba of rattlesnakes. An exaltation of larks. This whole subject comes under the See page D12

Social Security: Short and Quick BY TOM MARGENAU

Because Social Security rules can be so confusing to so many people, and because it can take some time to explain those rules, I usually spend an entire column trying to clarify just one topic. But every once in a while, I like toå give short and quick answers to as many questions as possible covering a wide array of subjects. Q: I am turning 66 and am about to file for my Social Security. What documents will I need? A: Generally, you will need your birth certificate and a copy of your last W-2 form (or tax return if you are self-employed). You need the former to prove you are old enough to qualify for benefits. You need the latter because your benefit is based on your earnings. The Social Security Administration will have a record of all your past earnings, but they may not have the most recent year posted yet. Q: If I apply for my Social Security at age 62 but still work part time, I understand that I am penalized if I make more than about $16,000 per year. Will those penalties apply to me for the rest of my life? A: No. Once you reach age 66, those penalties go away. You could make a million dollars per year from age 66 on and you’d still get your Social Security checks. Q: We have an unusual situation. My wife and I just got married about two years ago. I am 72, and she is 71. And this was a first-time marriage for both of us. But I’m worried that I might die before we hit the 10-year marriage mark and my wife won’t get widow’s benefits on my record. Are there exceptions to that rule? A: The 10-year marriage rule only applies to divorced people. So assuming you two lovebirds are still married when you die, and assuming your Social Security benefit rate is higher than hers, your wife will get widow’s benefits on your account. Q: I am getting my own Social Security. My ex-husband is getting a lot more than I am. I wonder if I am due anything on his record. But if I am, I don’t want to hurt him. Will his check get cut if I get some of his Social Security? A: Anything paid to a divorced spouse is just an add-on benefit. In other words, if you are due any extra benefits on his record, it won’t take a dime away from what he is getting. Your own benefit can be supplemented up to one third to one half of his, depending on your age. Q: I have power of attorney for my elderly mother. I called SSA to file a change of address, and they wouldn’t talk to me. What gives?

A: SSA is very strict about privacy laws. Those laws say the information from your mother’s records can only be given to her. If she is mentally incapable of handling her own affairs, they can be shared with her representative. You can get a power of attorney designation for lots of reasons, not just mental incompetence. If your mother is mentally alert, she has to change her own address. If she is not, then you should request to be what SSA calls her “representative payee.” If you do that, it not only means you can handle her Social Security affairs, it also means her Social Security benefits will come in your name for her. Q: Why does the law require me to carry my Social Security card and my Medicare card with me at all times? A: There is no such law. I haven’t had my Social Security card in my wallet for over 40 years. And my Medicare card is buried in one of my desk drawers. I dig it out when I go to the doctor. But even they rarely ask to see it anymore. Q: I am getting Social Security. We have a 16-year-old daughter who has been severely disabled since birth. She is also getting benefits on my account. Will her checks stop when she turns 18? A: No, her Social Security checks will continue, probably for the rest of her life. But shortly before her 18th birthday, you need to contact SSA and fill out some forms to get her converted from regular dependent child’s benefits to what they call “disabled adult child” benefits. Q: I know you’ve answered this question a thousand and one times before. But now I’m 62 and it applies to me and I’m finally paying attention! Can I take my husband’s Social Security now and save my own until I’m 66? A: Well, for the thousand and second time, no! If you take any Social Security before age 66, you MUST apply for your own benefits first. By the way, I was assuming your husband is still alive. If he’s not, then you can do what you proposed because the rule I just cited doesn’t apply to widows. Q: Recently, I got a letter from Social Security telling me they overpaid me about $5,000. They want the money back. What can I do? A: If you disagree with the reason for the alleged overpayment, you should file an appeal and ask them to review your case. If you accept the fact that you’ve been paid too much, you’ve got three choices. Pay it back all at once. Pay it back in installments, letting them take a certain amount each month out of your Social Security check. Or if you can’t afford to pay it back, and if you can prove to them that it wasn’t your fault

that you were overpaid, you can file for a waiver, essentially asking them to write off the debt. If you have a Social Security question,

44th Annual Village Halloween Parade: ‘Cabinet of Curiosities: An Imaginary Menagerie’ New York City’s Sixth Avenue becomes a bestiary of fantastic hybrids, culled from the hallowed halls of Cryptozoology for the 44th Annual Village Halloween Parade, Oct. 31. Hailed as the “Greatest Event on Earth” by Festival International for October 31 and a top event in NYC by Events International, Citysearch and Biz Bash, that nation’s largest public Halloween celebration features tens of thousands of costumed marchers, hundreds Halloween characters, giant masks and puppets, dozens of marching bands playing music from around the world stilt walkers, jugglers, break dancers and other street performers that turn the avenue into a mile-long stage. The theme of the parade this year is “Cabinet of Curiosities: An Imaginary Menagerie” inspired by the likes of PT Barnum’s carnivalesque museum which featured “The Fiji Mermaid,” created with the head of a monkey on a taxidermied fish, and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein – the real and imagined curiosities, made all the more plausible by leading edge technology like CRISPR gene-splicing technology promises to unleash “a host of unholy hybrids into our midst,” writes Jeanne Fleming, long-time Artistic and Producing Director of the Village Halloween Parade. “Halloween, of course, revels in hybrids, mash-ups and the frisson of crossed identities. So, as we approach Frankenstein’s bicentennial, we are building our own Cabinet of Wonders, the Parade itself! “Official Parade Puppeteers will lead the way with a bestiary of fantastic hybrids, culled from the hallowed halls of Cryptozoology, inviting our volunteers to build and animate our imaginary menagerie in our annual puppet raisings.

Here are tips to join the parade 1. Be Creative – Wear Your Costume! ONLY costumed marchers are allowed in the Parade. 2. Show Up on Sixth Ave at CANAL Street.

Street. This can get confusing and frustrating so follow these directions carefully! Here are the GPS Coordinates for the Entry Point: 40.7218599,74.0053841 (Participant Entry Point) 3. Arrive between 6:30pm and 9pm or you might miss the Parade! The subway is the best way to get there, parking is always difficult and the Parade makes it even worse. 4. Find your friends, good music or a group to march with. Arrange to meet a block or two from the Parade route and come over together to the line-up. Even with cell phones, it is hard to hook up with people at the start. Nowadays the bands line-up apart from the general public, but there is so much good music in the Parade you are bound to hook up with some fun vibes to dance with. 5. Follow the crowd up Sixth

Avenue (please do not go down Sixth Avenue, the police will stop you!) 6. Find a hotel before for the parade night. Most, if not all, hotels near the parade will be fully booked the night of, so make sure you book early! On trivago.com you can easily find hotels by the parade, compare prices to suite any budget, and read reviews to find the perfect hotel. (Note: The Halloween Parade is a 0% tolerance for alcohol event.) There is actually a Costume Contest (just show up and you are entered), and you can win prizes such as tickets to shows. For spectators, the streets are most crowded between Bleecker and 14th Street, so you might consider getting there early or try another place along the route, which extends to 16th Street. Come by subway: Sixth Avenue (B,D,F,Q) to 23rd, 14th or West 4th Street Stations Seventh Avenue (1,2,3,9) to 23rd, 18th, 14th, Sheridan Square or Houston Street Eighth Avenue (A,C,E) to West 4th Street, Spring (this station is closest to the Line Up area) or Canal Street Stations Puppet Workshops Invite Volunteers Every year, the procession through Greenwich Village has been headed by an ever-changing menagerie of Giant Puppets and Special Costumed Performances. This entourage provides the kernel of inspiration around which the creative energies of the other 50,000 Parade participants.

Cleveland and the North East. These workshops are busy designing and fabricating new creations to fulfill the changing themes of each new Parade. Some 600 volunteers from the local communities and from New York City assist in the various stages of building, assembling and operating the puppets and costumes. Every weekend in October prior to the Parade, Village Halloween Parade Puppet Building workshops will be hosted by the Official Puppeteers of the

Parade, Superior Concept Monsters, at its Puppetry Workshop in the Hudson Valley near Rhinebeck, NY. “In return for your help, you get lunch and dinner, a spectacular walk to the Hudson River and a bonfire. Spend the day or the weekend out of the City and in our Puppet Barn…there is always a big pot of soup, some hot cider, tea, coffee and cookies to fill out a day of good company while learning techniques and actually constructing the puppets that will appear at the head

of the Parade on Halloween night.” The workshops are free and open to the public, but spaces are limited, so you must pre-register and provide your own transportation and housing if you plan to stay the weekend. 2017 Workshop Dates: October 7, 14, 15 and 21; Rehearsal: October 21. To register to take part in the Workshop, click here. __________________________________ © 2017 Travel Features Syndicate, a division of Workstyles, Inc. All rights

W R I T E R’S C O R N E R

A pod, a pack, a pandemonium – What’s that? C ontinued from page D3 category of grammar which some people like hearing about and others could put aside. It’s not exactly their cup of tea. As mentioned before, I happen to think that words are important. Words matter. Sometimes they appropriately describe the animal or fish, as in a “shiver” of sharks (seeing them makes me want to shiver!) and at other times, the word doesn’t really do the trick. We communicate with words and we give names to the new things that over time happen to come along such as mouse pads, CPUs, smart phones, iPads, electronic tablets, what the “cloud” means in computer language, what “server hosting” is, apps vs. software, etc. Society continues to change, new technologies and industries are developed and bingo, new words appear in our vocabulary. In fact, according to the Global

Language Monitor, every 98 minutes a new word is created somewhere in the world. (archive.naplesnews.com) So we have a huge history of words – and a whole new world of words that’s just waiting to come down the pike. The tradition of using “terms of venery” or “nouns of assembly,” collective nouns that are specific to certain kinds of animals, stems from an English hunting tradition of the Late Middle Ages. The fashion of a consciously developed hunting language came to England from France. (wikipedia.org) It was marked by a large number of specialist vocabulary, applying different names to the same feature in different animals. The elements can be shown to have already been part of French and English hunting terminology by the beginning of the fourteenth century. In the course of the fourteenth century, it became a courtly fashion to extend the vocabulary, and by the fifteenth century, the tendency had reached exagger-

ated proportions. The focus on collective terms for groups of animals emerged in the later fifteenth century. A list of collective nouns was published in London, England, in “The Book of Saint Albans” in 1486 that has 165 items, many of which, even though introduced by “the compaynys of beestys and fowlys,” relate not to collective nouns for animals but to human groups and professions. Some of them are clearly humorous, such as “a Doctryne of doctoris,” “a Sentence of Juges,” etc. “The Book of Saint Albans” became very popular during the sixteenth century and was reprinted frequently. Gervase Markham edited and commented on the list in his “The Gentleman’s Academic” in 1595. The book’s popularity had the effect of perpetuating many of these terms as part of the Standard English language even if they have long stopped having any practical application. “The Book of Saint Albans” is a good example of an early printed book in English. When the first edition was printed in 1486 in St. Albans, it may have been on the third printing press, called the St. Albans Press, in England. It gathered together a collection of advice on hawking, hunting and heraldry (the system by which coats of arms and other armorial bearings are devised, described and regulated as well as the study of ceremony, rank and pedigree) with a chapter on fishing added in 1496. Another example of collective nouns for animals is a “colony” of rabbits which most of us are familiar with from the story by Beatrix Potter called “The Tale of Peter Rabbit” which goes in part – “Once upon a time there were four little Rabbits, and their names were Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail and Peter. They lived with their Mother in a sandbank, underneath the root of a very big fir tree.” In this cute children’s story, Peter Rabbit disobeys his mother and goes to Mr. McGregor’s garden instead of going to pick blackberries with Flopsy, Mopsy and Cotton-tail. Peter Rabbit, who has a mind of his own and likes being different, wants to munch on some vegetables in Mr. McGregor’s garden. Mr. McGregor had been planting some young cabbages. He desperately tries to catch Peter, but he escapes. To get home safely, Peter must run past

Mr. McGregor and get to the gate. He slips safely under the gate, but he has lost his jacket and his shoes. He discovers that those items are used to dress Mr. McGregor’s scarecrow. Peter Rabbit runs home (after all, “There’s no place like home”) where his mother puts him to bed and gives him a dose of chamomile tea. This colony of rabbits sticks closely together – and the little ones get into a lot of mischief. After thinking about all of these various collective nouns for puppies and flamingos, for frogs and bats, I had a very vivid dream recently and in it I saw a parade of elephants marching down the main street in my home town. Hearing a clang of cymbals, I looked up as high as I could and saw a tower of giraffes looking my way. Wondering what they were up to, I meandered over and examined them closely – but not so closely that one of them would swing its head and very tall neck and knock me off my feet. Nothing seemed unusual. Nothing seemed out of place. I saw one giraffe eating some leaves on a tree and the others were just hanging around observing any activity around them. I knew that giraffes like to eat hay, romaine lettuce and carrot treats but in my dream I didn’t see any of those things nearby. Going home, I opened my back door and saw several cats all together, as in eight cats in a great, big basket, which is a clowder. Or a pounce or a glaring. The word “clowder” rhymes with “chowder” so I knew that I could remember that. I could just think “clam chowder.” In my dream, I told my mom that there is a glaring of cats that’s peering out of the basket and gently playing with each other. Who knew that term “glaring”? Then I related to her my experience of the parade of elephants marching down the street and the fact that I’d heard a huge clang of cymbals. She asked if I was feverous or maybe delirious and the answer was … maybe … probably. In short, those are my two favorite terms – a tower of giraffes and a glaring of cats. So the next time I see a whole group of cats together, when I see the bevy of activity that’s always bound to surround several cats, I’ll be sure to think that it’s a glaring, not just a group of cats hanging out!
