Town to host cyber security forum The Town of Oyster Bay will host a Cyber Security Information and Opportunity Forum on October 22nd at the Morrelly Homeland Security Center, located at 510 Grumman Road West in Bethpage.

“October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month, and I am proud that the Town is taking a leadership role in raising awareness for cyber security issues, as well as serving to help connect job seekers with employers in this field,” Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor Joseph Saladino said. “Taking control of your digital security is extremely important in this day and age, and this forum will help provide information, through keynote speakers and presentations, to help minimize

cyber risks, as well as introduce job seekers to the growing amount of work opportunities related to cyber security.” The Cyber Security Information and Opportunity Forum will take place on Monday, October 22nd from 8:00AM to 12:00PM.

Joseph Bae was 23 years old when he came up with the idea of providing his own unique food menu to the public. He explored a couple of ventures that eventually fell through, before deciding to come to work at his parents’ delicatessen in Hicksville. “I have always been interested in the food industry, and I had a handful of menu items in mind that I thought would make for interesting culinary fare,” said Bae, who is now 29. “A while ago, I had spoken to a guy about opening a food truck, but that fell through, and I ended up working behind the counter at my parents deli.” That deli is called ‘House of Heros,’ a business that his family took over from the previous owner six years ago. His family is of Korean descent, but the deli is traditional in the sense that it sells the normal range of sandwiches including chicken cutlet, roast beef, tuna and ham sandwiches. It also sells slightly more eccentric items like a rice bowl and Korean based BBQ. “It’s a popular location, but I’d been hearing things throughout the community that people were upset because it closes too early, and there aren’t too many options in the area,” said Bae. “That’s when I decided to give it a new identity by opening the deli later, and offering up some new food choices to people. That is how Joe’s Scratch Kitchen was born.” He said that his menu is smaller and more thought out with four main items available to hungry customers. The core items he sells include a fried chicken sandwich where he brines the thighs in lemon juice, a Hawaiian pulled pork sandwich with his own unique BBQ sauce, a burger with American cheese, caramalized onions and garlic aioli, and Korean-style chicken tacos. “My whole premise is to not have to give people something fancy and made up, but something that is See page 10

The Town of Oyster Bay has announced that it will be accepting applications to recognize all those with a connection to the Town who gave their lives and succumbed in their battle against 9/11 related cancers and illness. Over the next year, the Town of Oyster Bay will construct 9/11 Walls of Honor to the east of the current 9/11 monument, honoring those who continue to give their lives to the toxic legacy left behind by the September 11th, 2001 attacks on America. Each year, the Town will inscribe into these new Walls of Honor the names of family members, friends and neighbors lost to this toxic legacy. Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor Joseph Saladino stated, “We remember and give thanks to those who ran into danger in order to help the victims of a cowardly act of terror. This includes first responders, downtown workers, residents, students and so many others with cancer certified to be 9/11-related. The events of 9/11 continue to take our heroes and survivors – and members of our community will continue to face darker days ahead. We watch each week as more of these heroes pass, in an ever-increasing and unending number. Just as many of these rescue and recov-

ery heroes raced to the Towers the first minute the plane hit, and stayed until the last brick was turned, their memorial will stand with and lead us to those we lost that tragic Tuesday morning.” Recent reports from the World Trade Center Health program indicate that we are approaching a terrible milestone, in which approximately 43,000 people are being treated for medical problems and nearly 10,000 people have suffered cancers linked to the toxic exposure at Ground Zero. More than 2,500 responders and others affected have succumbed to their illness. Earlier this year, Supervisor Saladino formed a committee to develop plans to honor the lives of those who lost their battle to the toxic legacy of 9/11. Those serving on the committee included retired FDNY EMS Lieutenant Bill Gleason, Retired NYPD Detective Tom Luberto, Deacon Dave White, Jericho Fire Commissioner Frank Sammartano, North Massapequa Fire Commissioner Ralph Raymond, Massapequa Fire Commissioner Justin McCaffrey and Rescue & Recovery Worker Joseph Pinto.

World renowned and veteran gemologist,

Kenneth Lejman, has been in the gem and jewelry appraisal business for nearly 40 years. He opened the first Gemological Appraisal Laboratory of America (GAL) in Manhattan in 1979, which has become the most highly rated gem and jewelry appraisal firm in New York City. The Gem Lab’s new branch office, located at 1044 Franklin Avenue in Garden city provides nearly all of the same services as the flagship location in Manhattan, providing a more convenient and Kenneth Lejman, G.G. central location to Long Island residents. The 71-year-old Port Washington resident said that the reason he opened a location in Garden City was because of the lack of appraisal and gem testing services on the island. “This location is convenient for anyone who lives on Long Island, and it serves as a main hub for independent gem and jewelry appraisal services for those who don’t want to travel into Manhattan.” said Lejman. “We provide all of the same appraisal services as our Manhattan location, and if advanced analysis is needed, we can easily send it out to the Manhattan office for an expedited service.” “And so many people are pleasantly surprised when they find out the vast worth they may have sitting in their jewelry box. A client was given a diamond heirloom ring from her aunt; she thought it was worth about $500, it turned out to be valued at $25,000. Needless to say, she was floored.” Lejman said that GAL is one of the most respected gem appraisal laboratories in the world, and the company works with many high-end department store, insurance companies, major banks, celebrities, as well as individuals and families who are looking for accurate analysis and evaluations of their gemstone and jewelry items, ranging from simple solitaire engagement rings to more intricate, antique jewelry items. The Gemological Appraisal Laboratory is a member of almost every major gemological society including: the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), International Consortium of Gemological Laboratories, The Gemological Association of Great Britain, NAJA, JVC, and the AGTA. “We’re one of the biggest and best in the world as far as appraisal services go.” said Lejman. “We do everything from scientific identification to monetary evaluations.” Clients are seen by appointment only in order to provide the most comprehensive, one-on-one attention that is needed to provide the most accurate assessment and best possible experience for our clients.

Every day we make lots of choices and decisions that can impact our health. Some decisions involve what we eat, where we eat, what we drink, how we get to school or work and how we spend our free time.

Rowling’s phenomenal series, where you get extraordinary insights into her creative process through glimpses at original handwritten drafts and drawings, but insights into the history of magic – the centuries of folklore, myth and legend - that provided the foundation for her stories. Here you see the original documents and artifacts which make you realize (for the first time), how Rowling drew on history and tradition, and how magic and witchcraft actually provided the foundation of science and discovery. “Abracadabra,” we learn, is an incantation believed to have healing powers, first recorded by Quintus Serenus Sammanicus, physician to the Roman Emperor Caracalla. He prescribed that the word be repeatedly written out, each time leaving off one letter. The charm was then worn as an amulet around the neck to drive out fever. We see it described in “Liber Medicinalis,” a 13th century book from Canterbury. The invisibility cloak that Harry

The exhibit, “Harry Potter: A History of Magic” at the New-York Historical Society is laid out as if you were walking through Hogwarts, with the galleries themed for the different subjects: Potions, Alchemy, Herbology, Charms, Astronomy, Divination, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Care of Magical Creatures © Karen Rubin/ goingplacesfarandnear.com Potter wore? There actually was an incantation for invisibility that we can see in a mid-17th century spell book owned by a contemporary of Shakespeare. A 4th century papyrus scroll turns out to be an ancient Greek handbook of magic that contains a love charm. Mandrake roots really do look like men (or women) and the legend of them screaming when pulled out

by the roots, causing insanity, was documented across cultures; we see descriptions in Arabic and Italian books. We get to see a mandrake root, which indeed looks like a shriveled old man in anguish. The Philosopher’s Stone that plays such a key role for Harry Potter (it was renamed the Sorcerer’s Stone for American readers)? This was the quest of

alchemists, who sought to create the elixir of immortal life and turn ordinary metal into gold – in essence, harnessing the energy of the universe and its power. The “recipe” for the Philosopher’s Stone was believed to be prescribed in The Ripley Scroll. We get to see an actual Ripley Scroll, from See page D2

Continued from page D1 around 1570 England, exquisite in its color, unfurled over 20 feet, one of only 22 known to still exist. This one is on loan from the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale University. The scroll takes its name from George Ripley, a canon at Bridlington Priory in northern England and author of “The Compound of Alchymy.” The scroll, full of mystical symbolism, supposedly gives clues to how to make the key red, white and black stones that together would form the Philosopher’s Stone. Rowling wove these symbols into her characters: Rubeus Hagrid (rubeus is Latin for “red); Albus Dumbledore (albus is Latin

for “white”) and Sirius Black, Harry’s three father figures. We get to see a copy of Culpepper’s Herbal, describing the medicinal properties of herbs, the first medical text to be published in English (instead of Latin), so as to break the monopoly of wealthy, educated in having this knowledge. Culpepper was accused of witchcraft in 1642, but acquitted. The book is still in print and we learn from Rowling that she possesses two copies. We get to see the actual tombstone of Nicolas Flamel, an actual person! who was a landlord and bookseller in medieval Paris who married a rich woman and became a philanthropist. His interest in alchemy was apparently

sparked after he obtained a mystical book was written by a man called Abraham the Jew in Greek, Hebrew and other languages. Following his death in 1418, rumors began to circulate that Flamel was an alchemist who had discovered how to make the Philosopher’s Stone, and turn metal into gold. He was buried in the church of Saint-Jacques-de-la Boucherie in Paris, his grave marked by this tombstone. But years later, when the body was exhumed, there was no body. Some believe he escaped to India, and with the elixir, still lives. The exhibition, a cerebral celebration marking the 20th anniversary of the US publication of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, captures the traditions of folklore and magic at the heart of the Harry Potter stories. Based on Harry Potter: A History of Magic, a British Library exhibition, with some special New York twists, it combines centuryold treasures—including rare books, manuscripts, and magical objects from the British Library, New-York Historical Society, and other collections—with original material from Harry Potter’s U.S. publisher Scholastic and J.K. Rowling’s own archives, never before collected in one place, and items that have never been shown before. And this exhibit is the only other place where it will be shown, before the items go back to their respective museums, which include the Museum of Witchcraft and Magic, in Cornwall. The entertaining aspect is in the exhibition’s presentation, as if you are wandering through Hogwarts, with the galleries organized around the Hogwarts’ curriculum for witches: Potions, Alchemy, Herbology, Charms, Astronomy, Divination, Defense

Against the Dark Arts, Care of Magical Creatures – each one showing the historical and cultural traditions that underlie Rowling’s fantastical world and her creative process. It is as if instead of J.K. Rowling inventing the Hogwarts curriculum, she graduated from it. It also means that all of us, children and adults, who were so enrapt in the Harry Potter saga of witchcraft and magic 20 years ago, have a whole new dimension for appreciating Rowling’s masterpiece from a mature perspective. The exhibit is captivating on so many levels – Rowling’s personality and creative process, you get so many insights into her as a person, and the connection to history and tradition at the heart of mythology. Also, we get to see the evolution of science from magic and spiritualism. Rowling faithfully represented these traditions – even the names she chose for her characters relate back to these traditions, symbolically or literally. In Potions & Alchemy, we see a copy of Jacob Meydenbach’s 1491 edition of Hartus Sanitatis (Latin for “The Garden of Health”), the first printed cyclopedia of natural history, which actually includes a hand-colored woodcut illustration of a potions class. One of the plants described, blue hellebore, was the plant Harry Potter forgot to add in his Draught of Peace. We see an actual bezoar stone, which was believed to be an antidote to poison, first introduced into medieval Europe by Arab physicians. They were expensive to buy and owners often kept their stones in elaborate cases. Here we see a bezoar stone in a gold filigree case from the 17th century.

Original art for “Harry Potters and the Order of the Phoenix” © Karen Rubin/ goingplacesfarandnear.com

The Herbology section is particularly fascinating: Here we see an illustration from a 15th century illustrated herbal by Giovanni Cadamasto that describes mandrakes (mandragara) that could cure headaches, earache, gout and insanity. Just as Rowling depicted, the plant was said to be particularly hazardous to harvest because the shrieks from the roots cause madness. “The best way to obtain it safely was to unearth its roots with an ivory stake, attaching the plant to a dog with a card. A horn would sound, drowning out the shrieking, startling the dog and causing it to drag out the mandrake.” We actually get to see a mandrake root and how much it resembles a prone shriveled man who appears anguished. The description of mandrake is also from a 14th century Arabic text, originally in Ancient Greek by Pedanius Dioscorides, a botanist. We see implements of “magical gardening” of bone and antler, on loan from the Museum of Watchcraft & Magic, Boscastle, Cornwall. There is an original copy of a book by Elizabeth Blackwell (one of the first women physicians), “A Curious Herbal,” published in London in 173738. She was desperate to raise money to spring her husband Alexander from debtor prison, so made drawings that she took to Alexander to identify, which

she then published in parts on a weekly basis, eventually detailing 500 plants. An 1807 edition of Robert John Thornton’s “The Temple of Flora,” an elaborate botany book that nearly bankrupted Thornton to produce (it was originally titled, “The New Illustration of the Sexual System of Linnaeus”). There is an illustration of Dragon arum (Dracunculus vulgaris), also known as stink lily, which reproduces the smell of putrefying meat to attract flies for pollination. In Charms, we see a copy of Cotton Mather’s “The Wonders of the Invisible World,” published in London in 1693 (from the New-York Historical Society Library), in which he justified the Salem witchcraft trials. This is the area which gives some attention to the way witches were depicted, when in essence, they were shaman, healers, who were extraordinarily connected to the natural world, and in fact, the first scientists and doctors. We see the earliest printed illustration of a witch, from 1489, depicting witches as powerful and dangerous. “The Iconography went on to influence image of witches for centuries. The printing press was new – like video of the time.” Here we see a colorful broomstick belonging to Olga Hunt, a 20th century witch of Manatan, Devon (from the

Museum of Witchcraft, Boscastle). The broomstick is closely associated with the Western image of witches, but has roots in pagan fertility rites. The connection with witchcraft and broomsticks developed during the witch hysteria of 16th and 17th century Europe. Olga was supposed to have used it to leap around Dartmoor on a full moon.

In Divination, there is a major archaeological find on view: oracle bones some 3,000 years old from China that proved the existence of the Shang Dynasty, which had only been known in legend. The bones offered not only the earliest examples of Chinese writing, but showed that the culture worshipped ancestors – the Oracle Bones were a means of communicating with ancestors, who could send back See page D5

Inhaling the unique scents, sounds and sights of Fall! BY CLAIRE LYNCH

Many writers have written about the beautiful sights and sounds of fall. Trees light up their leaves in magnificent displays of color. The 2000 film “Autumn in New York” with Richard Gere and Winona Ryder shows off the fall leaves of Central Park beautifully. When the leaves have to be raked and bagged, those piles seem just perfect for jumping into and frolicking about. When the temperatures change, when the air always seems to feel crisp and new – these are just some of the things that are perfect about the season of autumn. Here are some more.

A Pumpkin Has to Be Just Right

To carve a perfect pumpkin, you have to first choose a perfect pumpkin. I look for a pumpkin that feels firm and heavy for its size. One that has consistent coloring is good and one that is fresh - with a solidly attached stem - is best. Just a few days before Halloween is the best time to start carving the jack-o’-lantern. I trace the eyes, nose and mouth on the pumpkin then carve with a small, sharp knife. The experts say that the right way to carve a pumpkin is to open up the bottom, not the top. Cut a sizeable round from the bottom of the pumpkin and use a metal

spoon to scrape out all the seeds and membrane then discard that part. Use a paper towel to dry the exterior and the interior of the pumpkin. This will make it easier to handle, so you’ll be less likely to have it slip out of your hands. Decorating dining room tables or windowsills with jack-o’-lanterns always seems perfect to me for Halloween. Tis the season for ghosts, goblins, witches, tricks, trolls, treats and pranks. Enjoy!

Sometimes Fall Feels Like Winter …

I went outside at 7:30 a.m. on Nov. 20, 2017, with both arms full of packages when suddenly I felt something hit me lightly in my eye. My first reaction was to think that maybe a bird was flying by and, well you know the rest. Looking up at the sky, I saw that little snowflakes were falling softly. Amused at my unexpected reaction, I laughed right out loud. I noticed that the air felt raw. The sky was gray, ominous and wintry feeling - perfect conditions for snow. It continued to snow ever so lightly for two hours. The snow didn’t accumulate. It didn’t amount to much at all but people in the stores I went to all commented about the early snow. It was still fall after all. I like snow, love how pretty it looks when it’s falling and afterward, when everything is draped

in that pure white pristine, glistening snow. My world looks as pretty as a picture. But the truth is that I felt a bit cheated out of fall, out of part of an autumn season that of the four seasons, happens to be my favorite one. It always has been. According to the calendar, winter was still a month away.

Watching “The Worst Witch” Movie

Potions, spells and broomsticks. There are a lot of them in the British “The Worst Witch” TV series that some friends and I had the chance to watch on Netflix last year. While it’s primarily for kids, it was fun and held our attention partly due to some of the eccentric faculty’s performances. Based on the popular British children’s novels by Jill Murphy, “The Worst Witch” is a Netflix original series about a group of girls attending a magical boarding school called Miss Cackle’s Academy for witches. Mildred Hubble’s life changes when Maud Spellbody accidentally crashes her broom into her apartment on her way to the entrance exams at Cackle Academy. Mildred realizes that witches and magic really exist, but it’s not until she helps Maud get to the school that she discovers that she has some magical abilities of her own. Under the guidance of the school’s headmistress, Miss Ada Cackle, deputy headmistress

Hecate Hardbroom, and teachers like Miss Gullett and Miss Bat, Mildred and friends learn spells and potions as the students develop their unique talents. Along the way, they also encounter their arrogant classmate Ethel, the jealous younger sister of the academy’s model student, Esmeralda, and with Miss Agatha Cackle, the headmistress’ notorious twin evil sister. (commonsensemedia.org) On her rather unusual journey, Mildred Hubble strives not to be The Worst Witch. It was well written, well acted, had great costumes and sets, and a good musical score. And the movie’s ending? Well, I won’t divulge that part.

The Foliage Lights Up in the Fall

It’s a sure sign of fall on Long Island whenever I see a burning bush bloom. During the winter, spring and summer a burning bush shrub looks just like a plain old green shrub. The landscapers come every week to trim it – whenever they mow the lawn – but in the fall the burning bush shrubs light up. When I least expect it a see a bright red leaf, then another and when I look further, I see several of them. The shrub is also called a “winged burning bush” and usually grows to 10 feet tall at maturity. See page D6

Who Do You Trust? BY TOM MARGENAU

You know how sometimes one thing can lead to another? The other day, I was watching Jay Leno’s TV show, “Jay Leno’s Garage.” He was driving around in a car once owned by his “Tonight Show” predecessor, Johnny Carson. It was a car that Johnny grew up with -- his father’s 1939 Chrysler. Jay mentioned that Johnny had once done a TV special in which he drove that Chrysler back to Norfolk, Nebraska, and took viewers on a tour of his hometown. I remembered that show, so later that night, I rewatched it on YouTube. And, as I said, one thing leads to another, and I next watched a couple episodes of Johnny’s TV debut, a program called “Who Do You Trust?” So what’s all of this have to do with Social Security? Well that show’s title got me to thinking about emails I get from my readers. They frequently tell me what they heard from a representative at their local Social Security office. And, more often than I hoped would be necessary, I tell them that what they were told (or maybe what they thought they were told) is wrong. I then proceed to explain the way things really work. And I think I’ve done my job. But watching that old game show led me to wonder: “Who do you trust?” My readers heard one thing from a Social Security clerk and something else from me. So do they trust me? Or do they trust the clerk? Well, I’ve been doing this stuff for 45 years, and I think I’m pretty well versed in Social Security rules and regulations. And I hope that when people go back to their SSA office, they either learn that they misunderstood the agent the first time, or they get someone who verifies that what I told them was correct. Here are some examples of what I am talking about. Q: My wife is about to turn 65. We went to our Social Security office to sign her up for Social Security. I am 73. I started my Social Security at age 70. I get $2,788 per month. We said my wife wanted to file and restrict -- taking spousal benefits on my account and then saving her own until 70. The clerk said that would be fine. He said she would get half of my benefit now, or $1,394. Then at age 70, she could switch to $1,995 on her own record. We then asked about widow’s benefits when I die. He said she would get 82.5 percent of my benefit, or $2,300 per month. We decided to put everything on hold so we can think about it and ask you for your advice. What do you think? A: I think you either misunderstood what the Social Security agent was telling you. Or you got a clunker of a clerk. Because most of what you told me is messed up. First, your wife can only employ the

maximizing strategy called “file and restrict” if she is 66 years old. Second, even if your wife were 66 and wanted to file for spousal benefits on your record, she would not get half of your current benefit, which includes a 32 percent bonus that you got for delaying your own benefits until age 70. Her spousal rate would be based on your full retirement (age 66) benefit amount. And the widow’s rate the clerk quoted you is way off base. The 82.5 percent rate is close to the minimum amount a widow can receive. Assuming your wife is over age 66 when you die, she will get 100 percent of your retirement benefit, and this time it will include the extra money you are getting for delaying your retirement. So what are your wife’s options? If she does want to file at age 65, her only choice would be to take her own retirement benefit. She’d get about 92 percent of her full retirement rate. Or if she does want to do the “file and restrict” thing, she could wait until she is 66 and file for spousal benefits and get 50 percent of your full retirement rate. Then at 70, she could switch to 132 percent of her own retirement benefit. Q: I am 64 years old. I just got back from my Social Security office where I went to sign up. The clerk told me that I could collect my own Social Security now, and then later on, switch to higher benefits from my divorced husband. He is 72 and already getting his Social Security. She told me to come back when I was 66 to file for his benefits. She also mentioned something about widow’s benefits. But I was a little confused. Can you tell me what is going on? A: I wonder if you misunderstood what the Social Security representative was saying. She might have been telling you that when your ex-husband dies, you could switch to higher benefits on his record. In fact, assuming you are over age 66 when that happens, you would get 100 percent of his Social Security rate, less what you are getting on your own account. I hope that’s what the clerk was trying to tell you. Because if she was telling you that you could file for reduced retirement benefits now, and then later on switch to higher benefits on his record while he is still alive, then she was wrong. That’s because of the “deemed filing rule” that says this: If you file for one kind of Social Security benefit, you are deemed to be filing for any and all benefits you are due at the same time. So because your ex is already getting benefits, if you file for your retirement now, you must also file for divorced wife’s benefits now. You can’t wait until a later date and file for spousal benefits. Q: I turned 68 yesterday. I had previously decided not to file for my own benefits until I reach age 70. But financial circumstances forced me to change my mind. I need my benefits now. So imagine

my shock when I called Social Security and was told that once I made my decision to wait until 70, I can’t change my mind. Is this true? A: It is absolutely NOT true. You will have two choices. File now with no retroactivity. You will get your full benefit along with 24 months worth of “delayed retirement credits.” That means your ongoing benefit rate will be 116 percent

of your full rate. Your other option would be to take six months worth of retroactive benefits. Then your ongoing rate would be only 112 percent of your full rate, but you would get a big retroactive check. If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has the answer.

‘Harry Potter: A History of Magic’ is Spellbinding Exhibit at New-York Historical Society C ontinued from page D3 messages. We see a black moon crystal ball used by “Smelly Nelly,” a 20th-century British witch who used strong perfume to attract the spirits she believed helped her to see the future (on loan from Museum of Witchcraft & Magic, Cornwall). Nelly is reflected in Rowling’s character of Sybill Trelawney, Hogwarts Divination professor. There is also a 19th century fortunetelling doll from New-York Historical’s collection. Astronomy features a 1699 celestial globe by famed cartographer Vincenzo Coronelli, pages from a notebook compiled by the artist and inventor Leonardo da Vinci that show the sun and moon revolving around the Earth, and a 13th century astrolabe thought to be one of the oldest geared instruments in existence, from the American Museum of Natural History Library. Defense Against the Dark Arts features an actual wand, in the shape of a snake (snakes were magical because they were thought to have the ability to regenerate, and a wand in the shape of a snake would have been very powerful), and we learn that there are still wandmakers today who go to the woods where trees speak to them to be selected. There is also a magic staff (1998) carved from timber. The basilisk in mythology didn’t look like the snake-like creature in Harry Potter but was depicted as a strange chicken, the size of palm, but its stare would kill you, and the way to defeat it was not by sword but by weasels. Care of Magical Creatures features a 13th-century bestiary manuscript depicting a phoenix rising from the ashes, a narwhal tusk, and John James Audubon’s original watercolor of snowy owls, just like the snowy owl that Hagrid gave to Harry Potter. We see the oldest description of a Hippogriff: 16th century book on vellum paper given to George III –a magical creature that has the front legs, wings, and head of a giant eagle and the body, hind legs and tail of a horse. It is very similar to another mythical creature, the Griffin, with the horse rear replacing the lion rear. We see examples of unicorn (loaned from the Explorer’s Club), as well as an actual merman – a Japanese creation made by combining two fish with wire and cloth (worthy of P.T. Barnum). This is the first time it has been displayed outside the United Kingdom. This fascination with these strange new creatures reflects the era of exploration into strange new lands and

discovery of new creatures. This section features Rowling’s hand-written draft of “Deathly Hallows”, with her crossings out, notes to self and ”x” where she needed to add more providing this amazing insight into Rowling’s creative process. There is also her own illustration of Harry and Hagrid going to Gringots and Jim Kay’s drawing of Hagrid. These items were collected for the exhibition, basically tracing and providing original artifacts that underlie Rowling’s Harry Potter narrative, but it seems as if Rowling had already undertaken the Hogwarts curriculum herself. The exhibit brings together the source material that informed her inspiration. In the section, Past, Present and Future, one of the most fascinating items is Rowling’s own draft for the “Order of Phoenix” and her meticulous outline of plot and where the characters are, what they are doing. You see original cover art by Brian Selnick for the 2018 (20th anniversary) series, in which he unifies the seven covers as a single image that tells the story of the Boy Who Lived, which had never been displayed before, and models of set designs for the “Cursed Child” on Broadway, as well as an autographed screenplay of “Fantastic Beasts,” and an edition of “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” (as “Sorcerer’s Stone” was titled in United Kingdom). The New York presentation of the British Library’s Harry Potter: A History of Magic exhibition is special because it features Mary GrandPré’s pastel illustrations for the cover artwork of Scholastic’s original editions of the novels; Brian Selznick’s newly created artwork for the covers of the 20th anniversary edition of the Harry See page D6

Inhaling the unique scents, sounds and sights of Fall! C ontinued from page D3 This species is not originally from North America. It’s from central and northern China, Japan and Korea. This plant was brought here, to New England, during the 1860s for use as an ornamental bush. The name “burning bush” comes from the bright red fall color that shows that it could be on fire. In the Bible, the burning bush is an object described by the Book of Exodus as being located on Mount Horeb. According to the narrative, the bush was on fire but was not consumed by the flames. In the biblical narrative, the burning bush is the location where Moses was appointed by Adonai (God) to lead the Israelites out of Egypt and into Canaan.

Baking Some Delicious Apple Crisp

Apple crisp is a relatively modern dish. It is notably absent from the first edition of the “Fannie Farmer Cookbook” published in 1896, which is a comprehensive collection of American recipes. The earliest reference to apple crisp in print occurs in 1924, with a recipe in the “Everybody’s Cook Book: A Comprehensive Manual of Home Cookery,” by Isabel Ely Lord Harcourt Brace and Company: N.Y. in 1924. In 1924, apple crisp also makes an appearance in a newspaper article in the “Appleton Post Crescent” on December 9, 1924, in Appleton, Wisconsin. Despite its relatively recent invention, apple crisp or crumble has become an American and British tradition especially during the autumn, when there are plenty of apples. The dish is also very popular in Canada, especially in areas where berries and fruit are readily available. I got the following apple crisp recipe from bettycrocker.com:

Ingredients Fruit Mixture 3/4 cup granulated sugar 2 tablespoons Gold Medal™ self-rising flour 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 6 cups sliced peeled Golden Delicious apples (6 medium) Topping 1 cup Gold Medal™ self-rising flour 1 cup packed brown sugar 10 tablespoons butter or margarine 1 cup rolled oats 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Steps Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 13 x 9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with shortening or cooking spray. In large bowl, mix granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons flour and the cinnamon. Add apples, stir to coat evenly. Pour into baking dish. In medium bowl, mix 1 cup flour and the brown sugar. With pastry blender or fork, cut in butter until mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Stir in oats and pecans. Sprinkle crumb mixture evenly over fruit mixture. Bake 30 - 35 minutes or until topping is golden brown. Test it to make sure it is done.

The History of Armistice Day

Every year on November 11 Armistice Day is commemorated to mark the armistice signed between the Allies of World War I and Germany at Compiègne, France, for the end of hostilities on the Western Front of World War I, which took effect at eleven o’clock in the morning - the “eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month” of 1918. The date is a national holiday in France and was declared a national holiday in many Allied nations. In some

countries Armistice Day coincides with Remembrance Day and Veterans Day, and other public holidays. Armistice Day is not celebrated in Germany, but a German national day of mourning Volkstrauertag has since 1952 been observed on the Sunday closest to November 16. The first Armistice Day was held at Buckingham Palace when King George V hosted a “Banquet in Honour of the President of the French Republic” during the evening hours of November 10, 1919. The first official Armistice Day events were subsequently held on the grounds of Buckingham Palace on the morning of November 11, 1919. This would set the trend for a day of Remembrance for decades to come. In recent years Armistice Day has become increasingly recognized, and many people now attend the 11:00 a.m. ceremony at the Cenotaph in London - an event organized by Royal British Legion, a British charity dedicated to perpetuating the memory of those who served in the First World War and veterans of all subsequent wars involving British and Commonwealth troops. (wikipedia.org) Here in the U.S., Veterans Day honors American military veterans who are both living and dead.

Driving in Westport, Ct.

Last fall I visited my friend, Mary, at her home in Westport, Ct. It was mid-October and as I drove north on I-95 I couldn’t help but admire the scenery all around me. The leaves had changed to some extent on Long Island but I noticed that in southern Connecticut, the colors on the trees’ leaves were even more brilliant. The reds, oranges and browns were so vivid. When I exited I-95 for Westport I made a mental note of the directions to her house. I had met Mary back when I was a student at Fairfield

University. Even though Mary is 15 years older than I, we met at a church function, started chatting and hit it off. The two of us never seem to run out of things to talk about. We’ve kept in touch over the years and whenever I can, I drive to Westport to visit Mary and her family. In thinking of her directions, I kept thinking of Tupelo Rd. That’s the street she lives on. I like making associations and the first one I thought of was Van Morrison’s song, “Tupelo Honey.” Humming the lines to that song over and over helped keep me on track for how to get to Mary’s house. They go: “You can take all the tea in China Put it in a big brown bag for me Sail right around all the seven oceans Drop it straight into the deep blue sea She’s as sweet as Tupelo honey She’s an angel of the first degree She’s as sweet as Tupelo honey …” It’s an old song, I know, but the oldies are goodies. Van Morrison, a Northern Irish singer-songwriter, featured “Tupelo Honey” as the title song of his album that came out in 1971. The title comes from an expensive, mild-tasting tupelo honey produced in the southeastern U.S. Anyway, I’d stop humming that song long enough to know that I was making the right turns to get to Mary’s house and suddenly I was there. We had a nice visit last October. We spent part of the afternoon outside in her back yard then had dinner inside. As usual Mary and I kept chatting, never running out of things to say. I recently read a great quote about fall. It’s by Hazelmarie Mattie Elliot: “I see the turning of a leaf dancing in the autumn sun, And brilliant shades of crimson glowing when the day is done.”

‘Harry Potter: A History of Magic’ is Spellbinding Exhibit at New-York Historical Society C ontinued from page D5 Potter series published by Scholastic; cover art by Kazu Kibuishi featured in Scholastic’s 15th anniversary box set; and the enormous steamer trunk used to transport a signed copy of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince on the Queen Mary to the U.S. The exhibition also includes costumes and set models from the award-winning play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Also on display for the first time in the U.S. are Rowling’s handwritten first drafts of The Philosopher’s Stone and Deathly Hallows, her handdrawn sketch of the Hogwarts grounds, and portraits and sketches of some

of the Hogwarts’s professors and magical creatures created by British illustrator Jim Kay. John James Audubon’s watercolor of Snowy Owls, a 1693 publication defending the Salem witch trials, a study of the Woolworth Building—the landmark New York location featured in the film Fantastic Beasts—and other artifacts from NewYork Historical’s collection. I love the origination story – worthy of fiction – how in 1990, J.K. Rowling was sitting on a delayed train from Manchester to London when an idea popped into her head fully formed: the character of Harry Pottery, a boy wizard with messy black hair, glasses and a

lightning shaped scar on his forehead. Over the next five years, she planned out seven books, writing mostly in longhand and amassing a mountain of notes, many on scraps of paper (some we get to see). She presented a scroll of the draft of “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” (as it was titled in the United Kingdom), to Nigel Newton, of Bloomsbury, who handed it to his eight year old daughter, Alice, to read. His daughter’s review, “‘it’s probably one of the best books for 8 or 9 year old could read,” encouraged him to publish. The initial print run was just 500 copies, typical for a children’s book

by a first-time author. The book turned into a worldwide phenomenon – over 500 million books sold, printed in 80 languages. We see various editions lining the corridor. There’s so much to absorb – I went through the exhibit twice, and used the Audible guide they make available for free, and after three hours, could have spent considerably more time there. There is a superb Family Guide for “A History of Magic” that turns the exhibit into an interactive activity. New-York Historical is also presenting a wide variety of exhibitionrelated events for grown-up Harry Potter fans throughout the run of the

exhibition, including trivia nights, art workshops, creative writing classes, social meet-ups, open mics, book clubs, and engaging courses that explore the Hogwarts curriculum. Programs include an onstage conversation with illustrators Mary GrandPré and Brian Selznick, and a special evening with actor Jim Dale, known for his narration of all seven Harry Potter U.S. audiobooks. Family activities feature History of Magic family days with hands-on activities and crafts, a Harry Potter family book club, historical Hallowe’en celebration, and trivia

for families. Additional programming information is available at harrypotter. nyhistory.org. Harry Potter: A History of Magic is sponsored by Audible and a special audio tour to accompany the Harry Potter: A History of Magic exhibition at New-York Historical, featuring Natalie Dormer, is available to ticketholders as a free Audible download, offering in-depth content on fascinating objects throughout the exhibition galleries. This is the only other exhibition of this collection outside of the British Library. After finishing here on January 27, the artifacts will be returned to

the museums and institutions to which they belong. Poof, it’s vanished. Timed-entry tickets for the exhibition Harry Potter: A History of Magic are $21 for adults, $16 for seniors (65+), $13 for students, $6 for kids ages 5–13, and free for children ages 0–4; tickets include admission to the rest of the Museum. Harry Potter: A History of Magic is on view through January 27, 2019, on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday 10 am–6 pm; Friday 10 am–9 pm; and Sunday 10 am–5 pm. The last entry is 45 minutes before closing. Visit harrypotter.nyhistory.org to purchase exhibition and programming tickets in advance. Black Citizenship in the Age of Jim Crow There is so much to see at the New-York Historical Society – it never fails to offer fascinating and provocative exhibits - you need a couple of extra hours beyond the time visiting “Harry Potter.” I went through “Black Citizenship in the Age of Jim Crow” exhibit which is hardhitting and in your face discussion of how the Emancipation Proclamation, Civil War, and most significantly, the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, led to an institutionalized system of terror and subjugation of African Americans, including a series of Supreme Court decisions dating back to Dred Scott, that perpetuated subjugation (on view through March 3). Also, the relatively new “Gallery of Tiffany Lamps” is not to be missed – this permanent display of 100 illuminated

lamps is breathtaking for its beauty and exquisite presentation and you even get the opportunity to design your own Tiffany lamp shade. You also learn the “hidden history” behind the lamps: about Clara Driscoll, the woman who up until now was virtually unknown and unheralded but was the artistic genius behind many of his designs, who headed the “Women’s Glass Cutting Department.” There are also two films that are shown in a fantastic theater, each shorter than 20 minutes: “We Rise” about women and social movements that were incubated, flourished and pollinated from New York City (narrated by Meryl Street) and “New York Story,” how and why it grew to be the commercial and cultural capital of the world and remains inextricably connected to the world. There is a lovely café at the Society. New-York Historical Society, 170 Central Park West (at 77th Street), 212873-3400, nyhistory.org. _____________________________ © 2018 Travel Features Syndicate, a division of Workstyles, Inc.

45th Annual NYC’s Village Halloween Parade, Themed ‘I Am a Robot’ Introduces VIP Section NEW YORK – For the first time, New York City’s iconic Village Halloween Parade is featuring a VIP section, accessible by advance-purchase ticket, led by grand marshal Machine Dazzle. The 45th Annual parade is themed, “I AM a Robot!” The VIP advance ticket is available to purchase on EventBrite for $25. Ticketholders will avoid lines with access to a secret entry point for early admission, enjoy a special DJ and soundtrack for an In-Parade party, and get the chance to meet other wildly creative Halloween fanatics from New York City and around the world. Robot costumes are required to march in the Special VIP Robot Section. “Grand Marshal Machine Dazzle will lead the Special VIP Robot Section of the 45th Annual Village Halloween Parade, calling upon Halloween makers and marchers to join in our positronic collective, expressing our inner cyborgs for an evening of robotic revelry,” said Jeanne Fleming, Artistic/Producing Director of New York’s Halloween Parade.

“We are thrilled to invite the public to join our first ever special VIP section,” Fleming said. “With artificial intelligences learning, adapting, interpreting and reacting as humans do, the times we live in can be overwhelming. This traditional and beloved event aspires to bring folks into their creative imagination—celebrating that quality that differentiates us from robots—and by extension make the world a better place. We as New Yorkers and those visiting the Big Apple can come together, affirm our identity, block out the distractions, focus on joy and inhabit the streets of New York LIVE.” The legendary Village Halloween Parade has entertained the public on Halloween night for the past 44 years, on 6th Avenue North of Spring Street to 16th Street on October 31 from 7 pm 10:30 pm. The Special VIP Robot Section will line up for the parade at 6 pm at a secret location to be announced closer to the event. For more information on the Parade, visit https://www.halloween-nyc.com/.

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and the Greater Long Island Running Club recently announced that the Annual Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor’s 5K Run is slated for Saturday, October 13th at 9:00AM. The 3.1-mile course will wind through the heart of the hamlet of Oyster Bay, and participants are encouraged to bring their family and stick around afterwards for all the fun at the Oyster Festival. “The Supervisor’s 5K Run is widely known for its scenic and challenging course through historic Oyster Bay,” Supervisor Saladino said. “It serves as the official kickoff event to the annual Oyster Festival, which draws thousands of people to our community for an incredible weekend of

food and family fun.” Runners wishing to participate in the event may register at www.glirc.org. The fee to register is $25 for pre-registration and $30 on the day of the race, which will take place from 7:15AM to 8:45AM at the Community Center in the Townsend Square parking lot off East Main Street in Oyster Bay. All registrants will receive a commemorative sweatshirt. There will be a $3 pre-registration discount for all Town of Oyster Bay residents.

Special Medicare Part D program Senator Kemp Hannon (R-Nassau) announces a special counseling program he is hosting on Medicare Part D. The program takes place on Friday, October 19th, from 10:00AM to 12:30PM, at the Bethpage Public Library (located at 47 Powell Avenue, Bethpage). At previous Medicare Part D programs sponsored by Hannon: • One constituent was able to save $1,000 on her medication and was thrilled to learn that she had options to choose from; • Several constituents saved $700 each annually just by changing pharmacies; and • A total of $40,000 was saved through changing Medicare plans and choice of pharmacies. The Medicare Part D Open Enrollment Period is from October 15th, 2018, through December 7th, 2018, so this counseling program will allow folks

to review their options. “When comparing Medicare Part D Plans, there are several factors to keep in mind,” said Hannon. “You should search for the best plan to fit your needs. This program will help you with that, and you may be able to save hundreds or even thousands of dollars!” Participants in this program will sit down one-on-one with a pharmacist, in a private setting, to discuss Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Coverage. They can tailor your plan to fit your needs, and answer any questions. Please bring with you your Medicare Part D card, a current list of your medications, and your pharmacy information. Reservations for this FREE event are required and appointments are required, and can be made by calling Senator Hannon's Community Office at 516-739-1700. This location is handicap accessible.

of learning. Teachers focus on making learning and the social experience of the Preschool Program fun for all children in an effort to make the first years of their education all the more enjoyable.” Open Houses at Town Preschool facilities are scheduled as follows: • Marjorie Post Community Park, Massapequa: Thursday, November 1st, 6 to 8PM, 451 Unqua Road, Massapequa • Syosset-Woodbury Community Park, Woodbury: Wednesday, November 14th, 6 to 8PM, 7800 Jericho Turnpike, Woodbury For more information on the Town of Oyster Bay Pre-School Program, contact the Department of Community & Youth Services at (516) 797-7900.
