SERVING PLAINVIEW, HICKSVILLE, AND LEVITTOWN

A HAPPY HICKSVILLE HOMECOMING

Local organization brings birthday parties to kids in shelters BY GARY SIMEONE

The early morning rain didn’t dampen the spirits of the Hicksville faithful at the annual Homecoming Fair at Hicksville High School on October 13th. The homecoming celebration proved to be a success, as the Hicksville varsity team, defeated rival Westbury 26-6. Above, Anthony Cerrato and Kerry Bernet were crowned homecoming king and queen.

School janitor accused of thefts

Anthony D’Ambrosio

Nassau County Police arrested a janitor at Levittown Memorial High School for allegedly stealing checks from parents that had been made out to the school. According to police, multiple parents mailed personal checks to pay for their children’s dance program fees to the school. They say school officials dis-

covered that Anthony D’Ambrosio, 22, of Seaford, a janitor at the school, took the checks and deposited them into his personal bank account. Detectives responded to the school and placed the defendant under arrest without incident on October 18th He is charged with Grand Larceny 3rd Degree.

Everyone wants to be recognized and made to feel special on their birthday. That is the sole purpose of the nonprofit organization Birthday Wishes of Long Island, which provides birthday parties for kids living in homeless shelters. Jaime Rapfogel, Long Island director and founder of Birthday Wishes, with headquarters in Hicksville, said that the organization caters to over 70 shelters across Long Island. “Our birthday volunteers provide parties to kids in shelters from Riverhead to Hempstead,” said Rapfogel, who started the grassroots organization ten years ago. “We celebrate over 120 birthdays a month.” She said that two kinds of birthday packages are provided for the kids, including an on-site birthday party and a party where the presents and cake are delivered to the shelters by the volunteer staff. “With the on-site parties, our volunteers go to the shelters and hold the parties there. They bring the cake, balloons, and a box of gifts, and play games and crafts with the kids.” Each kid receives a colorful birthday box with items such as paper goods, juice boxes, and toys to play with. The kids also get a birthday cake or cupcakes and a bag of presents. A typical bag contains five or six presents such as sports balls, dolls, games, and an assortment of books. Sometimes a wish list is included in the package, where a kid is able to request what kind of toys or games they’d like to receive. “A lot of these kids aren’t recognized on their birthdays and some have never seen their name on a cake,” said Rapfogel. “These parties are something they look forward to all month, and it means a lot to them when we show up and recognize them on their special day.” The volunteers at Birthday Wishes hold parties at shelters with 100 families living in it, and at smaller shelters with 18-20 kids. At the small shelter parties, every kid living there is invited to attend in the celebration. Susan Gold, who is regional coordinator at the organization along with Maureen Mantesta, said that volunteers are at the facility three days a week wrapping presents. “We have a lot of volunteers who dedicate their time to ensure that a kid living in a shelter will have a special day to look forward to,” said Gold.

“I’m pleased to announce I’m partnering with ‘Adopt-A-Battalion,’ a 100% volunteer-based organization that operates year round to collect goods and monetary donations for our servicemen and women stationed overseas,” said Senator Kemp Hannon (R-Nassau). “I’ve teamed up with several VFWs and American Legion Posts in my district where goods can be dropped off to support this wonderful cause.” From now until Veterans Day (November 11th), many locations (listed below) will be collecting hygiene items, snack and recreational items (such as shampoo, razors, deodorant, shaving cream, toothbrushes, cookies, crackers, gum, envelopes, note cards, pens, and more) to send in care packages overseas to our troops. Basic goods such as toiletries, food, reading material, and other personal items which are not provided by our government are always a welcome comfort to those away from home. “By collecting and providing basic necessities and comforts from home, and sending them to our active duty

The Town of Oyster Bay has offered the following suggestions to ensure a safe Halloween this year. Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and Councilwoman Michele Johnson advise parents, drivers and trick-or-treaters to take some basic precautions to ensure a safe outing. Trick-or-treaters are especially at risk for pedestrian injury as they are more likely to cross streets in the middle of the block rather than at corners or crosswalks. As the increase in pedestrian traffic may cause distractions, Supervisor Saladino and Councilwoman Johnson urge drivers to be on alert, proceed slowly through local streets, and obey all traffic signs and signals. Parents with small children and teens walking door-to-door should travel up one side of the street and down the other, making sure to cross at the corner or crosswalk. Trick-ortreating in groups in well-lit neighborhoods will increase visibility and walking on the sidewalk, rather than cutting across yards or driveways, will mean less chance of stumbling and falling. Children should never go inside the home of a stranger, but

rather accept treats outside the door. Children should not eat any candy until they get home and their parents/ guardians have inspected the treats. Supervisor Saladino and Councilwoman Johnson recommend costumes that are brightly colored and can be more easily seen, as well as shoes that fit properly. Masks that obstruct vision should be avoided as well as costumes that drag on the ground. Always carry a flashlight at night. Wearing a watch that can be read in the dark is helpful and older children who are not being escorted by an adult should carry a cell phone along with some form of identification. Parents should know exactly where their children are going to be on Halloween, when they should be heading home, and a detailed description of what they are wearing. Homeowners should make sure their yards are clear of any item that could create an obstacle or danger, such as a ladder, hose, dog leash, or flowerpot. Pets may become frightened or agitated by the bell ringing or door knocking as well as strangers approaching the house, so homeowners should keep pets inside and protected.

School tax bills available

Oyster Bay Town residents are reminded that the First Half of the 20182019 School Tax Levy is due on October 1st, but can be paid without penalty through November 13th. Please be certain to sign your check, and make it payable to James J. Stefanich, Receiver of Taxes. Indicate your property’s S.D. Code, Section, Block, Lot and Phone number on the check. “By law, a taxpayer has a 40-day penalty free period from the date the tax is due during which payment may be made without penalty,” Receiver Stefanich explained. “After the 40 days, a one percent penalty is added for each month the tax remains unpaid, retroactive to October 1st.” “Tax bills are expected be mailed in the beginning of October, after the collection warrant’s computer-based information is processed, verified and certified as correct by the Receiver’s Office.” “Residents can pay in person, by either cash or check, at the Tax Office, Oyster Bay Town Hall West, 74 Audrey Avenue, Oyster Bay, or by check only at the Receiver of Taxes Office, Town Hall South, 977 Hicksville Road, Massapequa,” the Receiver stated. “Our office in Town Hall South can be reached by the rear entrance of the building. When paying the tax bill in person, taxpayers are reminded to bring the entire tax bill with their payments.”

Town offers Halloween safety tips for trick-or-treaters

Residents who prefer to mail in their payments should send them to the Office of the Receiver of Taxes, 74 Audrey Avenue, Oyster Bay, NY 11771-1539. Payments being made by mail should include the first half stub. Residents should NOT write on, fold, staple, or otherwise deface the tax stub as it can cause the computer system to reject the payment. “Taxpayers also have access to the 2018-2019 School tax information on our online system via a link on the Town website, www.oysterbaytown.com. Residents may view current tax bills, print out a hard copy, or pay taxes with an ACH check payment or credit card. Please be aware there is a service fee for paying taxes online (Town of Oyster Bay receives no portion of fee).” Receiver Stefanich reminds residents that school taxes are set by their local school districts, and the Town of Oyster Bay is not involved in that process. Any questions related to school tax rates and amounts should be addressed to the resident’s school district. The telephone number for each school district is printed on the front of the school tax bill. “When calling the Tax Office at (516) 624-6400, residents are requested to have the school district, section, block and lot numbers of the property in question available. This information is listed on the tax bill and on the property deed.”

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.

The evening also consisted of a review of the district’s new two-week Summer Robotics Program, which was a success. Staff members Thomas Samilo and Barry Spainer presented about it with Jonas E. Salk Middle School students Paul Kaplan and Declan Pen and Wisdom Lane Middle School students Ronald Renda and Owen Schulman. The four students spoke about their experiences in the program and the skills that they obtained. The board and community also watched a video of students in action during the summer program.

Rails-to-Trails Sojourn on Delaware-Lehigh Trail Showcases Repurposed Canal Towpath & History of Industrial Revolution BY KAREN RUBIN TRAVEL FEATURES SYNDICATE GOINGPLACESFARANDNEAR.COM I race from the historic Asa Packer Mansion to the railroad station in the center of Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, where a ceremony is being held to open the new Mansion House pedestrian/biking bridge across the Lehigh River that eliminates a gap in the Delaware Lehigh bike trail. (See: Biking the Delaware & Lehigh Trail, Showcased on Railsto-Trails Conservancy’s Last Sojourn BikeTour) This wonderful celebration, led by the local bike club, gets the 300 Sojourners in gear for our longest ride, 48 miles, of our five-day, 160mile Rails-to-Trails Conservancy Sojourn on the Delaware-Lehigh Trail through the picturesque Pennsylvania wilderness to Hugh Moore Park in Easton where we will camp for the night. We follow after the Jim Thorpe Bike Club as the first across the bridge, an achievement 25 years in the making. Around midday, we navigate a complex gap in the D&L Trail onto city streets. Indeed, drawing attention to such gaps, and the coalition working to improve them, has been one of the objectives of these annual Rails-to-Trails Conservancy Sojourn supported biketours. To date, an impressive 92 percent of the D&L Trail has been built—most of which we ride during this Sojourn—

The trail condition has been surprisingly good considering yesterday’s drenching rain and even yesterday, the trail had enough hardpack that our tires didn’t sink into mud. Yesterday, as we rode downhill from the highest point, deep in

Pennsylvania’s coal mining country, the beauty of the wilderness section of the trail was hard to appreciate through the rain (though nothing could mar the exquisite beauty of Buttermilk Falls). But on this June day, the weather is sunny with a cool breeze, just perfect for biking. We get to see just how beautiful the

settlers, Richard Freeman. Freemansburg is a classic example of a canal town with houses and structures built up against the waterway that was the village’s lifeblood in the 1800s. Members of the Old Freemansburg Association (OFA) reclaimed a 1.5 mile section of the Lehigh Canal the Borough owns from overgrowth and debris and restored the towpath which became the D&L Trail. The OFA spearheaded efforts to protect and restore the 1829 Locktender’s House, mule barn, Lock No. 44, gristmill, and coal yard. Volunteers also reconstructed the barn using canal era tools and equipment, a project that took 10 years to complete. The multi-functional building now hosts weddings, educational sessions and interpretative demonstrations.

pavilion. Riding on, we come to an island that consists of a shuttered steel mill that today stands somewhat surreally like an abstract sculpture. Along the trail, we come upon what is left of the original canal locks – stone walls, wooden gates with metal latches and gears, remnants from the mid-1800s. At Freemansburg, we find a lockmasters house, the remains of the locks and a mill, and I am delighted to find the site manned by interpreters in period dress. I ask if the village was settled by freemen and am told that it was named for one of the original

for our second-night campout. The Sojourn planners have specially arranged for us to have free cruise on the historic Josiah White II. It is an experience made all the more exciting because the boat is pulled by two mules and manned by a crew in period dress along this portion of the restored canal. You really get to appreciate what it may have been like for these families who operated the canal boats that carried the anthracite coal from the mountains to Philadelphia. At one time mules pulling canal boats on narrow towpaths would have been a common sight in much of the United States east of the Mississippi River. We board the Josiah White II canal boat to cruise on this restored two-mile long Section 8 of the Lehigh Coal & Navigation canal. Captain Susan is at the tiller. The boat is 50 feet long – when it turns, it has mere inches to spare. Two mules, Hank and George, pull the boat, led by Steve and Doug. You would think it is a strain, but the boat slides easily. “Benjamin Franklin worked out the mathematics, that two mules can pull 235 tons on water. He saw the method in Europe and Britain. George Washington also was a proponent of canals – though neither one lived to see beginning of canal era.” Captain Susan is just finishing saying how Hank and George are the luckiest mules in the land, when they both bolt and start running toward the campsite, chased by Steve and Doug who bring them back. The boats were designed to carry 80 to 90 tons of coal, which meant the canal had to have six feet of draft.

They needed eight feet high walls – so they dug out four feet by hand and piled on the four-feet of soil to create the eight-foot high walls. They knew the limestone couldn’t contain the water, so they lined the canal with clay, using the same method of road building in Ireland – sheep tamp down the bottom and the clay is left to dry in the sun. (The clay enclosure is why you can’t have any sharp implements on the boats). It took 2 ½ years to build the canal which extends 46 miles from Jim Thorpe and consists of 9 dams and 51 locks. It cost $1 million (actually under budget). These canals were the first million dollar civil projects in the United States, she says. When they started to mine the anthracite coal, this whole region of northeast Pennsylvania was uninhabited. To make money, they had to move the coal to the population center in Philadelphia. The Lehigh River was not suitable for transportation – it was

too shallow, rocky. The Lehigh Coal & Navigation Company (we saw their building in Jim Thorpe) owned the river, built the canal and a furnace and brought an iron maker from Wales who figured out how to make iron with anthracite coal (the secret was high-pressure blast of air). Pennsylvania is one of the few places where anthracite - hard coal – is known to exist. It was discovered sporadically during the 18th century, when people would literally stumble on it on the surface. “No one cared. It looked like stone. You couldn’t light it.” What is more, there were still trees to provide fuel. But by the early 1800s, the mid-Atlantic was virtually clear cut of wood sparking an energy crisis. They experimented with soft coal, but the supply was cut off in 1812 by blockade during the War with Britain. Around then, Josiah White and Erskine Hazard, who manufactured See page D6

Greeting Queenie the Witch, that character, on Halloween! BY CLAIRE LYNCH The day Queenie the Witch flew through our kitchen when we were all at home in Rockville Centre, my younger sister, Susan, was taken aback. She jumped, she stared, she wondered out loud what was going on. “What was that thing that just flew by?” Susan muttered under her breath. Queenie flew past the kitchen table, rustling the tablecloth as she whizzed by. Queenie left bits of her black witch’s cloak in her wake and when Susan, who was five years old at the time (and I was nine), bent down to touch them, they crumbled in her little hands. She smelled a musky, smoky smell but didn’t see the oven turned on or anyone standing at the stove. Some homemade chocolate chip cookies would have been nice but no one was baking them. Looking around, Susan turned toward the dining room where Queenie had flown to surprise our three older brothers, our older sister, Michelle, and our parents. Getting a good look at Queenie, Susan saw that she had a bright yellow face, a black witch’s cloak and a black hat that sat rakishly at an angle. Her fingers were long and bony and were the same yellow color as her face. That unusual color could only be described as phosphorescent yellow. Queenie flew on a broom that looked well worn. The yellow and black reminded Susan of the bumblebee she had seen – and feared – the day before. When Susan was in the back yard playing, several bumblebees came along and

buzzed her. Their flurry of activity alone was enough to frighten Susan. She ran over to our mom, crying, afraid that the bumblebees would sting her. They didn’t, but their constant buzzing was enough to give Susan nightmares that night. Queenie had a snarl on her face that was as scary as scary could be. She chanted as she flew from the dining room through the living room and up the stairs that led to the bedrooms. “A potion, a potion, a potion for the girls … A penny, a penny, a penny for your pearls …” Susan ran after Queenie, ran up the stairs and kept a safe distance behind her because Susan was terrified about what Queenie would do and curious at the same time. Her curiosity got the best of her. Even at five Susan wondered why her face and hands were that bright yellow color instead of phosphorescent green. That yellow face and some bright green hair just weren’t doing it. That Queenie had no fashion sense at all! Susan knew good style when she saw it! Susan was bold and brave enough to want to fend off any intruders. She wanted to protect the family. That Queenie had no right to be there in her house. Who did she think she was? She had to stop her and she didn’t care if it was Halloween or Christmas Day or Tuesday or any other typical day of the week. Why was this eccentric witch in her house on this day trying to take over their territory? She caught a glimpse of Queenie the Witch as she flew down the hall and headed toward our brothers’ room. She

stopped to talk to a strange-looking man who she later called Mr. Greenjeans because he was wearing a bright lime green T-shirt and the same colored jeans. She blinked because Susan had never seen someone dressed all in green – especially in that lime green color. Mr. Greenjeans said something to Queenie the Witch then they both turned toward my brothers’ door. Queenie put her hand on the doorknob and she entered their bedroom first then Mr. Greenjeans followed right along. The door banged shut and Susan jumped. What an unusual pair of people, Susan thought. Our parents ran after Susan, wondering if she would be all right in her encounter with Queenie the Witch. As mom was about to ask her something, Susan awakened with a start. She had awakened herself with a scream. Looking around her bedroom, Susan wondered what was going on. Where was Queenie? Why was she running up the stairs? Why was she so scared? Rubbing her eyes, she suddenly realized that she must have had a nightmare. Queenie the Witch was flying all around on Halloween. Why was she the color of bumblebees? Why didn’t she have a green face like the Wicked Witch of the West and so many other witches she had seen? And who was Mr. Greenjeans? She looked on the floor for little bits of Queenie’s black witch’s cloak, looked all around, but she didn’t see any. Confused, Susan blinked her eyes, wondering if Queenie was going to fly

through her bedroom and start chanting again. It was downright unnerving! Then again, strange things happened on Halloween. After she got over her nightmare about Queenie the Witch, Susan determinedly went ahead with her plans to dress up as Glinda the Good Witch of the North in “The Wizard of Oz.” She planned on wearing a fancy pink dress with puffy sleeves and a tall silver crown that glittered and glistened in the late afternoon’s light. Susan tried talking in that highpitched, wavering, aristocratic voice like the actress, Billie Burke, did when she played Glinda the Good Witch of the North in the 1939 film version of “The Wizard of Oz,” but I really didn’t think that she sounded at all like her, or believable, and somehow I convinced her of that, so Susan gave up on that idea. She also had a glittery silver necklace and a silver wand with a pretty star on the end of it that she planned on waving around dramatically like Glinda did. Susan had asked our mom weeks before to help her pull her costume together and mom did. She did a great job making little Susan look like Glinda. Susan walked around like a very special Good Witch and she had a silver glittery container for all of the goodies that she was about to get while trick or treating. Looking at her, you’d never know that Susan had just had a pretty vivid Halloween nightmare. She looked very calm, cool and collected. I have to give See page D6

Disability Benefits: One Question Leads to Another BY TOM MARGENAU

Q: I don’t understand. I was getting Social Security disabÅility benefits. But I found a job that I could do. It paid me not much more than minimum wage. But because I made about $18,000 last year, I ended up losing my disability. Yet I just read a story about someone who won $50,000 in our state lottery. This person was getting disability benefits, and she kept those benefits. I made $18,000 and lost my checks. What’s wrong with this picture? A: What’s wrong is that you don’t understand what Social Security disability benefits are meant to do or how they work. You don’t get disability benefits because you have some kind of physical or mental impairment. You get disability benefits because you have a disabling condition that keeps you from working. In other words, the inability to work is the key to qualifying for benefits. So, if you can go back to work, especially fulltime as you did, you simply do not meet the legal definition of disability. On the other hand, the woman in your town who won the lottery did not work. She just got lucky by buying the right lottery ticket. She could have won a million dollars, and it does not change the fact that she is still disabled and eligible for benefits. My answer to the next question will explain this in more detail. Q: I live in a fairly affluent part of town. I was absolutely shocked to learn that a lady down the block is getting Social Security disability. How can that be? I mean, she has a big house, nice cars, a swimming pool and other luxuries. I thought you had to be poor to get disability. A: I’m afraid you thought wrong. You don’t have to be poor to get Social Security disability. You have to be disabled. Or to be a little more precise, you have to have worked and paid Social Security taxes for a certain period of time, and you have to have a condition that is severe enough to keep you from working any longer or a condition that is considered terminal. Maybe this neighbor of yours is dying of cancer. Maybe she has severe heart problems. Who knows? But the point is, she has been declared disabled by an agency (the Social Security Administration) that is known for having some of the strictest disability eligibility criteria around. The fact that she has money isn’t an issue. Social Security disability is NOT a welfare program. If Bill Gates became disabled tomorrow, he could qualify for Social Security disability benefits. And to clarify this further, please read the answer to the next question. Q: I am familiar with someone getting SSDI. Yet, I know he doesn’t need it. He and his wife have money. They have a nice house. Don’t you

have to be poor to get SSI? A: Yes, you have to be poor to get SSI. But SSI isn’t the same as SSDI. Let me sort out all this alphabet mess for you and my other readers. Social Security disability benefits are sometimes known by the acronym, SSDI. That stands for Social Security disability insurance. And as explained above, SSDI is NOT a welfare program. It’s an earned benefit that goes to rich and poor alike, as long as they are disabled. But SSDI should not be confused with SSI. That stands for Supplemental Security Income. And SSI is a welfare program. Poor people who are over 65, or poor people who have a disability, might qualify for a small monthly stipend from SSI. And now let’s add one more noodle to this alphabet soup of acronyms. The disability portion of the SSI program is oftentimes referred to as SSID. That stands for Supplemental Security Income disability. So I’m sure you can see why people often confuse the SSDI program with the SSID program. And to clarify one more reason for the confusion, continue reading. Q: No wonder Social Security is going broke. I just heard there are 7 million people getting SSI disability benefits, and not one of them has ever paid a dime in Social Security taxes! A: There might be 7 million people getting SSI disability benefits. But as I explained above, SSI is NOT a Social Security benefit. It’s an entirely separate welfare program. But what I didn’t explain is that SSI is funded out of general tax revenues, not Social Security taxes. The program just happens to be managed by the Social Security Administration. And the Social Security trust funds are even reimbursed from the general funds for the administrative expenses of running the program. And finally, one more bit of clarification about Social Security disability benefits will be provided in the answer to the last question. Q: I’m not going to name names, but I know a deadbeat in my neighborhood who is ripping off Social Security. He gets a disability check, but there is nothing wrong with the guy. He works in his yard. He runs errands. I’ve even seen him leave the house with golf clubs! Kick bums like this off the program and Social Security won’t need any other reforms! A: If I had a nickel for every guy who told me he knows a friend, a neighbor, a brother-in-law, etc., who is cheating the system, I could stop writing this column tomorrow and move to a villa in the south of France! I’m not sure if it’s jealousy, pettiness or a misplaced sense of righteousness. But I am sure, as I mentioned earlier,

that SSA runs one of the strictest disability programs in the country. You really have to be severely disabled to qualify for benefits. (And, yes, you still could be able to do yard work or even play golf depending on the kind of disability you have.) You said, “I’m not going to name names.” And that’s the problem. For decades, I’ve been telling people like you to report instances of supposed

fraud. Go to www.socialsecurity.gov, and under the “Contact Us” link, click on “Report Fraud.” You can do so anonymously. But I’ve learned over the years that very few people report it. They like to complain, but they don’t like to do anything about it. If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has the answer. Contact him at thomas.margenau@comcast.net.

They traveled to Wales to sign David Thomas to a five-year contract, and brought him to Pennsylvania to oversee the construction of an anthracite furnace. In 1818, they bought the Summit Hill quarry. But the problem still was how to get the coal to market. They founded the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company, created one of America’s first industrial and

We see a lock tender’s house that was built in 1928 to replace one that burned – the new house was the only lock tender’s house with indoor plumbing and electricity. This lock had a new gear system that even a young person could operate, so the father (who would have earned $8/ month, low even for those times) could take a cash job in one of the many mills or furnaces in the area. The lock had to be manned from 3 am to 11 pm, so this was a family enterprise. The mother could sell or barter with the canal boat families – at this lock, known as a “laundry lock” the woman would do the canal boat family’s laundry. She would also keep chickens and vegetables. “There was an economy of people who lived and worked on the canal, separate from anthracite. Boats were crewed by families. “Sailors had poor reputation and White was Quaker and wanted ethical people, sober and honest. So he recruited married men. They didn’t want to be away from their families from March to November, so they brought them on the boat. Whether provided own or leased from Lehigh Coal & Navigation – were

difficult, uncomfortable.” This canal was operated until 1942; the Delaware canal until 1932; there were sons, grandsons and great grandsons of canal boat captains. “It was a way of life. People stuck with it.” Here at Hugh Moore Park was the site of an industrial furnace. By the time of the Civil War, half of iron in the United States came from Lehigh Valley. See page D6

her kudos and hand her that. As Susan scampered from house to house I heard her singing a few lines from Bobby “Boris” Pickett’s “Monster Mash” song so I knew that she was definitely in the “Halloween mode.” That year, 1964, I wanted to dress up as Wednesday from “The Addams Family” TV show. Mom helped me part my hair straight down the middle of my head then braid it. We tied some bright ribbons to the end of each braid. I wore a white button down shirt with a pointy collar and a black button down cardigan sweater. Adding some black tights and black pumps to my outfit, I made sure that I kept the fancy black belt cinched at my waist. Mom and I added lots of makeup to my face – mostly lots of neutral foundation – then drew on some eyebrow darkener and a dash of nondescript lip gloss, and once I stepped outdoors, I made sure that I acted seriously and scowled a lot.

I found the scowling hard to do since I just wasn’t used to constantly scowling. It put a lot of people off – many people didn’t want to approach me at first but then, realizing that it was Halloween Day, they smiled and came up to me. My classmates, friends and neighbors seemed to be sizing up my costume. I could see them doing it. Most people either love a Halloween costume or they don’t. It either grabs them as being perfect for the occasion – or it doesn’t. when I mentally size up someone’s Halloween costume I always ask myself if I feel it’s creative – or not. When people commented on my costume, I would start to quote Wednesday, saying, “Either that’s Grandmamma or Santa Claus is a woman.” Adults and kids alike would stop me, however, since they really didn’t want to hear such blithering nonsense. But they did like my costume, so they said, and some of the kids went on and on about it, and they said that they liked Susan’s Glinda costume, too. My three brothers, Peter, Gregory

and Philip, as well as Susan and I gathered back at the house and compared our candy. Each of us dumped our bags out on the kitchen table and sorted through it. Greg traded Susan some Babe Ruth candy bars and Susan said okay as long as he gave her a few Milky Way bars. Greg mumbled something about not liking nuts so he was as happy as could be with the Milky Ways. Eating those candy bars seemed to make his day. We had a good Halloween that year. The holiday was a good one. I know that my family members enjoyed going around the neighborhood all dressed up in their costumes, ringing doorbells and saying, “Trick or treat!” Below is a fitting poem for this Halloween day. “Happy Halloween” was published in “It’s Halloween” in 1977 by Brooklyn native Jack Prelutsky. He grew up in the Bronx – “in a six-story apartment building where everyone knows everyone else, just like a small town” he has said, and he attended Hunter College in New York City. Although Prelutsky claims to have disliked poetry through most of his childhood, he rediscovered poetry later in life, and has devoted many years since to writing fresh, humorous poetry aimed specifically at kids. “I realized that poetry was a means of communication, that it could be as exciting or as boring as that person or that experience.” (poets.org) After working various jobs as a truck driver, photographer, folksinger, etc., he is now the author of more than 40 collections of original verse and anthologies of children’s poetry, including: “Stardines Swim High Across the Sky: and Other Poems” published in 2013, “The Swamps of Sleethe: Poems From Beyond the Solar System” published in 2009, “Pizza, Pigs, and Poetry:

How to Write a Poem” published in 2008 and more. When someone asked him how he decided to become a writer, Prelutsky said, “I’d always enjoyed playing with language, but I had no idea I would be a writer. I discovered writing as a career only by accident when I was about 24 years old. “I had spent months drawing several imaginary animals, but one evening I decided to write a little poem to go with each drawing. A friend encouraged me to show the poems to an editor, and when I did, I was astonished to find that the editor thought I had a talent for writing verse. My editor told me that I was a natural poet and encouraged me to keep writing.” (teacher.scholastic. com) So he did. Here is “Happy Halloween”: “It’s late and we are sleepy, The air is cold and still. Our jack-o’-lantern grins at us Upon the window sill. We’re stuffed with cake and candy And we’ve had a lot of fun, But now it’s time to go to bed And dream of all we’ve done. We’ll dream of ghosts and goblins And of witches that we’ve seen, And we’ll dream of trick-or-treating On this happy Halloween.” Crank up the stereo and dance around to “Monster Mash.” Or help some kids go trick or treating. Have a blast this holiday! Happy Halloween, everyone!! This is a fictional work.

Just before we cross the Delaware to Frenchtown on the New Jersey side, we see a picturesque red wooden bridge over the canal. Frenchtown, where they have arranged for a bike corral while we enjoy the restaurants and shops, is very charming. I munch on the artisanal cheese and bread I purchased beside the water before setting out for the rest of the ride. This part of the ride is along the sensational Delaware-Raritan Canal trail (one of my favorite trails, a particularly gorgeous section is from Princeton University north). We cross back to Pennsylvania at Lambertville into New Hope, another picturesque village. We are on our own for dinner tonight and many will bike back into New Hope from our campground at Washington State

Crossing Park. During the ride, I rehash what I learned at the National Canal Museum and wonder, “What did these families do for the rest of the year when the canals were closed? It bothers me that these families made so little money ($8/month) for such long days, they had to work extra jobs, even after all the members of the family also worked, when owners became richest people in the world. How did Benjamin Franklin calculate that mules could pull a floating barge carrying 235 tons? How did they calculate the 6 foot draft for the canal boats to carry 90 tons? By formula or by trial and error? What if a boat had different dimensions? I wonder if the STEM curriculum at the National Canal Museum would answer these questions. Here’s another important lesson from our immersion into this National Heritage Corridor: The change in ecology necessitated changes in the economy and technology (an example of how history matters). Americans were always moving, migrating to take advantage of new industry, new technology, new economy, new opportunities, sometimes forced by changes in the environment. These canal towns, factory towns, mill towns arose because of coal and steel and many were ruined with the change in fortunes. Today, climate change, global warming is changing ecology again, forcing new changes in the economy, in technology, in society and in where and how we organize our communities. It’s very much how the canal towpath, originally devised to transport the coal

A happy homecoming in Hicksville

Comet quarterback Liam Lipien threw for 55 yards and also led the Hicksville ground game with 70 yards rushing. The early morning rain didn’t dampen the spirits of the Hicksville faithful, and shortly after the annual Homecoming Fair at Hicksville High School began, the grey skies cleared and the only colors that reigned were the school’s signature orange and black. The October 13th homecoming celebration proved to be an overall success, beginning with plenty of school spirit and ending with many happy football fans as the Comets, Hicksville’s varsity team, defeated rival Westbury 26-6. Friday’s pep rally served as the

informal kickoff to a fun homecoming Saturday. The PTA-sponsored Homecoming Fair brought children, parents, siblings, alumni, teachers and other members of the Hicksville High School family and greater Hicksville community together for a great cause. Student, parent, and school community organizations featured tables offering various activities, games, spirit wear, gift basket raffles, food, and refreshments, all to raise funds for student activities. Inflatable slides and bouncy houses set up inside the gymnasium

Hicksville High School’s four classes displayed banners during the homecoming procession onto the field, just prior to the game kickoff. The senior class took the best-banner honors this year with its 3D Monopoly game board banner. Connor O’Keefe led the Comets with three touchdowns, including a 20-yard score midway through the third quarter to snap a 6-6 tie, giving Hicksville the lead for good. As a team, Hicksville ran for a total of 245 yards, led by quarterback Liam Lipien (70) and Connor

(61). Shane Buquicchio added a 20-yard touchdown reception. The defense had a strong game as well, with Chris Benitez and Esai Garcia combining for 15 tackles and three quarterback sacks and Brandon Lang adding an interception. Halftime performances by the marching band and color guard, the varsity cheerleaders and Starlets kickline team also had the fans up and cheering from the stands. Anthony Cerrato and Kerry Bernet were also crowned homecoming king and queen, respectively.
