Syosset Forensics Society ranked 49th in the nation

Officers of this year’s Syosset High School Forensics Society display a sampling of trophies won in 2016-17. Adviser and NSDA Hall of Fame member Lydia Esslinger joins the group in the back row. Photo courtesy of the Syosset School District The Syosset High School Forensics Society has done it again! Keeping with tradition, the team has been ranked among the best in the country by the National Speech and Debate Association. They are presently

ranked 49th in the country in member strength for the 2016-17 school year out of more than 3,000 participating schools in the United States. Every year NSDA ranks teams based on points

and degrees earned in competitive and service-based activities. Year after year, the organization recognizes Syosset as one of the top teams in the country. Syosset Forensics Society coach and high school English teacher Lydia Esslinger, who is a member of the NSDA Coaches Hall of Fame, credits the team’s consistent success to motivated students who know that “focus, determination, and effort pay off. Yes, trophies and scholarships are nice rewards, but knowing how to research, to write, to think deeply, and communicate effectively are skills that return their investment over an entire lifetime.” Currently comprised of over 150 students, Syosset Forensics has a long tradition as a standout co-curricular, interscholastic activity at Syosset High School, with multiple Long Island and New York State championships among its successes. Students participate in competitions to demonstrate their public speaking, acting, debating, and writing skills, as well as their knowledge of philosophy and ethics, government and current events. They are constantly researching, seeking out new material to use and practicing to stay sharp. Syosset Forensics scored big at last year’s New York State Forensic League Championship Tournament held at Hofstra University, as the team won first place in the Speech events division, placed second in both the Debate events and Student Congress divisions, and won the award for Best Overall team in the state. The team produced four individual state champions as well: Ronit Dhulia (Lincoln/Douglas debate- novice level), Jahnavi Arora and Aram Moghaddassi (co-champions in Lincoln/Douglas debate- varsity level), and Iree Mann (Oral Interpretation- varsity level).

Town approves new Inspector General

The Town of Oyster Bay has approved the hiring of an Inspector General who will be charged with standardizing the Town’s procurement and contract administration, and monitoring compliance with state and federal laws. The Inspector General will have the authority to review the records of all Town departments as he or she may deem to be for the best financial interest of the Town, of the accounts, financial methods and financial

activities of each department, office or agency of the Town and report to the Supervisor and Town Board. Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino said, “To restore the public’s trust in government, the Town Board and I took swift action to install a new, independent Board of Ethics with real and meaningful oversight. We have instituted disclosure requirements for contractors, vendors and high level employees to prevent conflicts of interest and improprieties. A

former Federal prosecutor was appointed to serve as Town Attorney and employees – as well as elected officials - have been mandated to attend an ethics training seminar.” “Building upon these initiatives to restore ethics, honesty, integrity and transparency, the Town will hire an Inspector General to administer all aspects of the Town’s contracting processes,” he added.

Syosset students share ideas with the superintendent Syosset School District Superintendent of Schools Dr. Thomas Rogers hosted a series of Superintendent’s Student Cabinet sessions for representatives from all 10 schools throughout the district. During each session, the Dr. Rogers and the Syosset central administration team met for cookies and conversation with the thoughtful students. “We’re going to have a chat, because our job ultimately is to make sure you have the best education that you can possibly have,” Rogers told the students to kick off each roundtable session, held in his conference room. Each session allowed the students to engage the administrators, discuss what’s going in the schools and express ideas for changes. The elemen-

tary students offered their opinions on topics such as elementary scheduling, the impact of technology, the use of Chromebooks and learning to write code with kidOYO. Middle and high school students spoke about their experiences balancing academics by participating in extracurricular activities and joining sports teams. They provided positive feedback about what the district currently does to prepare students as they advance through the district and postgraduation. Students also expressed that they would like to discuss current national news and enroll in classes that teach valuable life skills such as paying taxes, leasing or buying a car, and purchasing homes.

So that this column does not seem like a weekly chronicle of President Donald Trump and his enemies, I’m going to change up and lighten a little bit. In this connection, I haven’t read Michael Wolff’s controversial book about Mr. Trump, Fire and Fury (I am certainly not impressed by Mr. Wolff’s defense of the accuracy of his work, “if it rings true, it is true”). I also don’t think readers are quite ready for extended analysis of a 2020 presidential race between Mr. Trump and Oprah Winfrey. So I will turn my attention to a subject that was of considerable interest in these parts for a number of days, the extreme cold weather. Hopefully, the great cold snap in this region has finally departed, following an extended stretch that lasted from just after Christmas, through a memorably frigid New Year’s Eve and then a full week of extended cold. Even people like me who are usually pretty oblivious to weather conditions had a problem with the unrelenting cold. I spent three days of the freeze out of town, but even with this respite, this was a miserably nasty patch. I dug out old sweaters and scarves from the closet, but I still did not want to venture out for much. The only thing that was helpful in avoiding cabin fever was the NFL’s fine judgment in scheduling the opening round of the football playoffs last weekend, even making sure that most of the TV games were played in relatively warm weather sites. Snaps like this, which seem only to occur every few years around here, do have the effect of making us understand that for all our technological progress, we are often at the mercy of nature. Somewhat oddly, for all their unpleasantness, none of the recent cold days in this area were anywhere near the coldest days of my life, which occurred in, of all places, Nashville, Tennessee, on January 20-21, 1985. You may not think of

Nashville as a venue for Arctic-like temperatures (and indeed, typical January high temperatures in Nashville are around 48 degrees), but Music City, as it calls itself, is actually due south of Chicago. So, just about every year, icy Midwestern blasts come hurtling into town, producing below zero temperatures. In any event, I was clerking for a federal judge in downtown Nashville that year after graduating law school at Vanderbilt, and for some reason I decided to go into work at the courthouse on Sunday, January 20, which also was the day of the Super Bowl that year. (It was also the day that President Ronald Reagan was formally sworn in as President for a second term.) I guess there must have been some matter before the court that the judge was eager to get some input from his clerks. In any event, the air temperature hit 13 below zero that day. It didn’t seem that bad when I took the bus from my apartment to the courthouse, but, in addition to the frigid temperatures, as the afternoon progressed there were increasingly heavy wind and icy blasts of something that felt like sleet, so the wind chill must have been far colder than that. When I went back out, I can say I have never experienced anything like it, before or since. Buses were only running sporadically at that point, so I tried to get a cab home. The local cabbies more or less on their own changed the rules to allow ride sharing, so I remember jumping into a mercifully warm vehicle and being dropped off to a Super Bowl party. The next day was even colder (it hit minus 16), but at least the sleet subsided and it didn’t seem as miserable. In any event, now that temperatures are back in the relatively balmy 30’s and 40’s we can look back at memories of the recent cold snap and other ones, without particularly wishing a recurrence anytime soon.

New York’s Olympic Regional Development Authority Makes Major Improvements at Whiteface, Gore, Belleayre Mountains BY KAREN RUBIN

Believe it or not, New York State, with more than 50 ski areas, has more ski areas than any other state in the country and the biggest vertical ski drop east of the Mississippi; New York is the 4th in the number of skier visits, after Colorado, California and Vermont. The ski areas range from pleasant family-friendly nearby areas that are ideal to learn to ski or ride, to the two-time Olympic mountain, Whiteface. The three ski areas owned and under the aegis of New York State’s Olympic Regional Development Agency (ORDA) - Whiteface,

Gore and Belleayre – are continuing to implement significant improvements and programs like SkiNY3 and Parallel from the Start programs, along with state-wideprograms like free skiing programs for 3rd and 4th graders, to entice new skiers. The three ORDA areas have multi-lesson packages and lift tickets that allow the flexibility of using them on nonconsecutive days and at the different areas. Already this season, major competitions have been held to decide who the athletes to See page D2

There is no lodging on the mountain (it’s a wilderness area, after all), but many lovely inns, bnbs, hotels and resorts nearby, including the Whiteface Lodge Resort & Spa, Mirror Lake Inn Resort & Spa. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Golden Arrow Lakeside Resort, conveniently located in Lake Placid village, walking distance to everything, and accessible to a convenient shuttle bus to the mountain (www.golden-arrow.com).

Gore Mountain Gore Mountain is one of my favorite places to ski. Nestled in the Adirondacks, it offers expansive views of a real wilderness. You actually feel as if you were in the Rockies. This season, guests will benefit from major renovations to three lodges. At the base area there are two two large additions which will streamline the rental process and facilitate getting

back on the mountain. Last season, Gore introduced Nordic skiing, turning its old tubing park into a cross-country ski area –– which will have snowmaking on 3.7 km of its 5 km trails. The new area was so successful last year (even opening by Thanksgiving) that Gore is hosting the NYS Nordic Championships. The Ski Bowl where the Nordic area is also has a half pipe, border skier cross and twilight skiing (til 9 pm) Gore participates in the I Ski NY Free Passport for 3rd graders; also, kids under 19 ski free with an adult. Gore Mountain is 30 miles away from Lake George and the magnificent grand, historic Sagamore Resort & Spa, Bolton Landing (www.thesagamore.com). We loved our stay at the delightful Copperfield Inn in North Creek (www. copperfieldinn.com/), a truly charming village that is just outside the entrance to Gore Mountain, with lovely bistro restaurants and shops. A shuttle bus operates from North Creek and the surrounding properties to the mountain, as well as the train station. Gore Mountain, 793 Peaceful Valley Road, North Creek, NY 12853, Snow Phone: 518-251-5026, info 518-251-2411, goremountain.com. Belleayre Mountain Belleayre, one of our favorite places for family skiing, especially learn-toski (not only for ease of access, but for the natural separation of the mountain and long beginner trails), boasts a new gondola this season (part of an $8 million investment in the mountain), the first one in the Catskills (third in New York State). The 60-car gondola whisks guests from the lower lodge to the summit, bottom to top in just 7 minutes. A new trail was opened in conjunction with the new gondola: the Deer Run extension trail starts just to the right of Tomahawk Lift parking lot, crosses under the access road via a skier tunnel, and winds down to the lower area popping out just above Running Bear into Iroquois. The mid-section of Deer Run, just above the shale bank, is widened to create a more natural fall line, while on the upper sections, the natural rollers are filled in, creating less of a pitch for easier intermediate skiing from the summit. The new “Catskill Thunder” gondola will operate year-round – and open up the mountain for mountain biking (now you have to hike up) as well as for wedding and party rentals at the summit. In the next five years, there are plans to open cross-country skiing on the summit’s plateau with snowmaking – which will make for a fairly unique experience.

Belleayre is bigger than people realize but what is especially wonderful about Belleayre, particularly for families, is the natural separation between the beginner area on the lower mountain, and the intermediate and advanced trails at the top. It’s snowmaking and grooming is highly rated. This year, beginner terrain has been doubled in area, and separates snowsports lessons from the general public. Also, gladed

terrain is being expanded. Belleayre is a very family-friendly, comfortable mountain, all the more popular because of its close proximity to New York City – just about 2 ½ hours away. Belleayre offers a Learn to Ski package at $79 that includes a lift ticket for the lower mountain, rental, twohour lesson; a three-day package is $169 (it doesn’t have to be consecutive

days, you can split them up), and even take the lessons among the three ORDA mountains, Gore and Whiteface. You can save up to 40% on the price of a lift ticket by purchasing in advance online. Belleayre does not have lodging at the mountain but there are delightful BnBs, lodges and inns close by (check the website for lodges that offer Ski & Stay packages which provide savings

Remembering the Legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. BY CLAIRE LYNCH Ever since 1986, when the birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. became a federal holiday on the third Monday in January, schools have stopped, the federal government has stopped and our nation has come to a halt as we have paid homage to perhaps the greatest leader in the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s. This year we celebrate the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King on January 15 and it is a good day to remember the man who during the 1950s and 1960s advocated equality and nonviolence.

He always knew and preached that if change was to come in America, it had to be through nonviolent means. Martin Luther King, Jr. was born in Atlanta, Ga., on January 15, 1929. He went to Booker T. Washington High School. He skipped two grades in high school and started his college education at Morehouse College at the age of 15. (duckers.com) After getting his degree in sociology from Morehouse at the age of 19, King got a divinity degree from Crozer Theological Seminary in Chester, Pa. He then got his doctoral degree in theology from Boston University. King’s father was a preacher which inspired him to pursue the ministry. He had a younger brother and an older sister. In 1953 he married Coretta Scott. They had four children including Yolanda, Martin, Dexter and Bernice. In his first major civil rights action, Martin Luther King, Jr. led the Montgomery Bus Boycott in Alabama. Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white man. She was arrested and spent the night in jail. King then helped to organize a boycott of the public transportation system in Montgomery. The boycott lasted for over a year and when it was over, segregation on the Montgomery buses came

to an end. In 1963, Martin Luther King, Jr. helped to organize the famous “March on Washington.” More than 250,000 peo-

ple attended this march in an effort to show the importance of civil rights See page D7

Some Facts About King* • • • • •

•

At the Atlanta, Ga., premier of the movie “Gone with the Wind,” M. L. King, Jr. sang with his church choir. There are more than 730 streets in the U.S. named after Martin Luther King, Jr. One of his main influences was Mohandas Gandhi who taught people to protest in a non-violent manner. He was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. The civil rights leader was born Michael King Jr. on January 15, 1929. In 1934, however, his father, a pastor at Atlanta’s Ebenezer Baptist Church, traveled to Germany and became inspired by the Protestant Reformation leader Martin Luther. As a result, King Sr. changed his own name as well as that of his 5-year-old son. Although King today is often remembered as being an amazing public speaker, he got a C in public speaking during his first year at the seminary. This likely isn’t because he was actually bad at public speaking at this point. His father noted that even before going to the seminary, King Jr. was one of the best public speakers he had seen. Whatever caused his professor to give him a C, by his final year King had straight As, was the valedictorian of his class and was the student body president. In 1983, U.S. President Ronald Reagan signed a bill that created a federal holiday to honor King. The holiday, first commemorated in 1986, is celebrated on the third Monday in January, which is close to and sometimes on the civil rights leader’s January 15 birthday. *ducksters.com

Turning 66 in 2018? Consider Filing for Benefits This Month BY TOM MARGENAU

I write a column similar to this one every January. But I don’t mind plagiarizing myself because it contains a very important message for people planning to retire in 2018. January is a critical month for the hundreds of thousands of potential Social Security beneficiaries who are reaching 66, their so-called full retirement age, in 2018. The important message: All of them should at least consider filing for their benefits this month, even though they may not be reaching their retirement age until later in the year. Please note: This technique should not be employed by folks who plan to use the soon-to-disappear maximizing strategy called “file and restrict” (still available to people turning 66 in 2018) because that procedure requires you to wait until age 66 or later before filing for benefits. Also, if you want to delay filing for your own Social Security benefits until 70 to get a 32 percent delayed retirement bonus, then you also should forgo the procedure discussed in this column. But if you are not interested in either of those strategies, and you plan to start your benefits at 66 in 2018, then, as I said, you may want to consider filing for benefits in January. The reason for this early filing timeframe has to do with some quirky and complicated features of Social Security’s earnings penalty provisions. Those provisions generally keep seniors who are still working off of Social Security’s rolls until they reach that magic “full retirement age.” The law essentially says if you are over 62 but under your full retirement age and are still working full time, you are not eligible for Social Security. Specifically, the rules require that the SSA deduct $1 from any retirement benefits you might be due for every $2 you earn over $17,040 in 2018. However, the rules say that once you reach your full retirement age, you are due full Social Security benefits even if you are still working and no matter how much money you are making. Let’s follow an example. Let’s say Ed was born in July 1952, which means he’ll reach his full retirement age of 66 in July 2018. And let’s further say Ed generally makes about $80,000 per year and he plans to continue working indefinitely. Based on the earnings penalty rules I briefly outlined above, Ed figures he must wait until July (his full retirement age) to begin collecting his Social Security benefits. As I said, at that magical point the earnings penalty rules no longer apply and he can get his Social Security. And prior to that, he’s making way more than the $17,040 income threshold.

But here is why Ed should check into applying for Social Security in January. Congress set up a more lenient earnings threshold for the year you reach your full retirement age. Specifically, it says you can earn up to $45,360 between January and the month you reach your full retirement age and still get Social Security benefits. And even if you earn more than $45,360, you lose only $1 from your benefits for every $3 you exceed that threshold. Ed is going to make $40,000 between January and June (i.e., before he reaches the magic age of 66). And that’s under the $45,360 threshold for 2018, which means Ed is due benefits beginning in January. He does NOT have to wait until July to apply for his Social Security checks. There is a bit of a catch. By starting his benefits in January, Ed will be accepting a slightly reduced amount. (Benefits are reduced roughly one-half of one percent for each month they are taken before full retirement age.) If Ed’s Social Security benefit at full retirement age is $2,000 per month, let’s look at his options. Ed’s first option is to wait until July (his full retirement age) to start his Social Security benefits. He’ll get $2,000 per month for six months or $12,000 for the year 2018. Ed’s second option is to file for Social Security in January. Starting his benefits slightly early, his monthly rate is reduced to $1,940. That comes out to $23,280 in total benefits for the year 2018. The downside to option two is his ongoing monthly benefit rate will be $1,940, $60 less than what he would have been getting in option one. But because he’d be getting about $11,000 less in total 2018 benefits in option one, it would take Ed a long time to make up that loss with his extra $60 per month in ongoing benefits. If I were Ed, I’d choose the second option. Even if Ed was going to make more than the $45,360 income threshold between January and June, he only loses one dollar in Social Security benefits for each three dollars he exceeds that amount. So he probably still comes out ahead by filing in January. Here is a quick example using that scenario. Let’s say Ed will make $50,000 between January and June. That’s $4,640 over the $45,360 limit. And one third of that excess, or about $1,546 must be deducted from his 2018 benefits. But he would still get $21,734 in benefits for the year. That’s still way better than the $12,000 he would be due by waiting until July to file for his Social Security. I know these rules are complicated and the math in the examples above might be difficult to follow. But my overall message is easy to follow: If you’re reaching age 66 in 2018, talk to a Social Security representative some-

time this month to find out if it’s to your advantage to file for those benefits in January. If you have a Social Security question,

World Class Math Education in Long Island “The Russian School of Mathematics is an awardwinning, after-school math program for K-12 students. Recently named “among the top schools in the world” by the Johns Hopkins CTY, we help children of all levels excel in mathematics. At RSM, we believe all children are capable of developing a solid foundation in math if it’s taught correctly. By guiding our students to derive new concepts based on those they learned before, we promote understanding over memorization. Algebra is introduced in elementary school, when kids are best at grasping abstract concepts. We ask our youngest students to become thinkers

and analysts, encouraging them to discover solutions and reflect on how they reached that solution. Because of this approach,

when our students are confronted with any problem they don’t recognize, they don’t back down. Instead, they consider different ways

they might tackle it. All of our teachers have a degree in mathematics or a related field. Most importantly, all RSM teachers have a deep love for mathematics. Our team of curriculum experts use their wealth of classroom experience and strong academic background to continuously advance RSM’s curriculum and teaching methods. Math empowers the mind for independent thought. Whether it’s excelling on a test, getting into a top university, or succeeding in any career, math is what gets you there. “

Remembering the Legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. C ontinued from page D5 legislation. Some of the issues the march hoped to accomplish included an end to segregation in public schools, protection from police abuse and to pass laws that would prevent discrimination in employment. It was at this march in Washington, D.C., where King stood on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and gave his “I Have a Dream” speech. In that speech he said lots of great things but two quotes in particular come to mind. They are: “I say to you today, my friends, that in

spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream.” And: “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” This speech has become one of the most famous speeches in history. The March on Washington was a great success. The Civil Rights Act was passed a year later in 1964. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tenn. While standing on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel, talking to friends in the parking lot below, King was shot by

Robert F. Kennedy Spoke About MLK’s Message The day Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated, Robert F. Kennedy was campaigning for the presidency in Indianapolis, Indiana. Kennedy made this speech in remembrance of Dr. King’s tireless efforts. Just two months later, Robert Kennedy was killed by an assassin in Los Angeles. “I have bad news for you, for all of our fellow citizens, and people who love peace all over the world, and that is that Martin Luther King was shot and killed tonight. Martin Luther King dedicated his life to love and to justice for his fellow human beings, and he died because of that effort. In this difficult day, in this difficult time for the United States, it is perhaps well to ask what kind of a nation we are and what direction we want to move in. For those of you who are black - considering the evidence there evidently is that there were white people who were responsible - you can be filled with bitterness, with hatred, and a desire for revenge. We can move in that direction as a country, in great polarization - black people amongst black, white people amongst white, filled with hatred toward one another. Or we can make an effort, as Martin Luther King did, to understand and to comprehend, and to replace that violence, that stain of bloodshed that has spread across our land, with an effort to understand with compassion and love. For those of you who are black and are tempted to be filled with hatred and distrust at the injustice of such an act, against all white people, I can only say that I feel in my own heart the same kind of feeling. I had a member of my family killed, but he was killed by a white man. But we have to make an effort in the United States, we have to make an effort to understand, to go beyond these rather difficult times … What we need in the United States is not division; what we need in the United States is not hatred; what we need in the United States is not violence or lawlessness; but love and wisdom, and compassion toward one another, and a feeling of justice toward those who still suffer within our country, whether they be white or they be black. So I shall ask you tonight to return home, to say a prayer for the family of Martin Luther King, that’s true, but more importantly to say a prayer for our own country, which all of us love - a prayer for understanding and that compassion of which I spoke. We can do well in this country. We will have difficult times; we’ve had difficult times in the past; we will have difficult times in the future. It is not the end of violence; it is not the end of lawlessness; it is not the end of disorder. But the vast majority of white people and the vast majority of black people in this country want to live together, want to improve the quality of our life, and want justice for all human beings who abide in our land. Let us dedicate to ourselves to what the Greeks wrote so many years ago: to tame the savageness of man and make gentle the life of this world. Let us dedicate ourselves to that, and say a prayer for our country and for our people.”

James Earl Ray. The civil rights leader was in Memphis to support a sanitation workers’ strike and was on his way to dinner when a bullet struck him. King was pronounced dead after his arrival at a Memphis hospital. He was 39 years old. King is considered to be one of the great orators of modern times and his speeches inspire many people to this day. Coretta Scott King died in 2006 and Yolanda Denise King, the oldest child, died in 2007. The three surviving King children have each taken up a part of their father’s message and mission. Bernice Albertine King, the youngest, became a minister. Martin Luther King III has been a social activist. Dexter Scott King, who looks the most like his father and served as the family spokesman after his mother’s death, has stepped back from public life.

W R I T E R’S C O R N E R

A few years ago Martin Luther King III said about his mission and his famous father: “If I woke up every day attempting to be my father, I would fail miserably. I think he was anointed. He was chosen by God, and there are few men or women in our world that will be chosen by God to make the kind of impact that he made.” (washingtonpost. com, 8/24/11) M. L. King III added, “I try to focus on the blessing of having been in this kind of a family. This is the only life I’ve ever known.” MLK, Jr.’s three surviving children are in possession of their father’s 1964 Nobel Peace Prize medal (he was the youngest person at the time to be awarded that prize at the age of 35) and a Bible their father traveled with that was later used by U.S. President Barack Obama during his second inauguration.
