Stefanich (left) kicked off spring with a beautiful day at the Annual Spring Festival, hosted by the Town of Oyster Bay Department of Community & Youth Services at Syosset-Woodbury Community Park. The Festival celebrates the season by offering a large variety of fun activities for children of all ages, including inflatables, pony rides, games, refreshments, and a petting zoo.
Homebuilders group supports tunnel BY GARY SIMEONE
A local business group called the Long Island Builders Institute wants a comprehensive investigation of the benefits of building an underwater tunnel from Long Island to Westchester. The so called ‘tunnel project’ has received support from high ranking politicians, including New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo. “There are many ways this project would benefit Long Island if the State decides to move forward with this” said Mitchell Pally, CEO of LIBI, which represents contractors in the home construction
industry. He listed benefits such as increased employment opportunities on the Island, increased tourism and business opportunities, and an alternative way for Long Islanders to travel without having to go through New York City. “Our organization attended a State DOT (Department of Transportation,) presentation last month on this topic and were very pleased with what was going on. The State DOT is undertaking this study, and to my understanding, it should be completed in a year’s time.” He said that at that juncture,
a decision would most likely be made to move forward with the construction of the tunnel, which would stretch underneath the Long Island Sound from Oyster Bay to Rye in Westchester County. The tunnel project has been an issue of serious debate in many Long Island communities. “Traffic congestion is a significant issue on Long Island, and anyone who uses our roadways knows that Long Island needs more highway options,” said Pally. our Governor strongly supports this study, and many Long Islanders who I have spoken with seek alternative ways of getting off and on Long Island.”
In continuance of their vocal opposition to constructing a tunnel from the northern area in the Town of Oyster Bay to Westchester, Supervisor Joseph Saladino and the Town Board join with the Village of Bayville Anti-Tunnel Committee in hosting a community meeting on Monday, June 4th at Jericho High School, from 7 to 10pm. The meeting will include a presentation on the negative impacts such a project would have on communities throughout the Town of Oyster Bay. “A Cross Sound tunnel will have negative impacts on communities from the south shore of our Town to the north shore. From air pollution created by the invasion of diesel trucks to destroying our shoreline and wildlife habitats, and tunneling under thousands of homes to added visitors flooding our beaches, this project will devastate our suburban quality of life. Join us for this special public meeting and lend your support to the opposition,” said Supervisor Joseph Saladino. Councilwoman Michele Johnson added, “New York State recently funded a feasibility study for a tunnel to be constructed, beginning at the northern end of the Seaford-Oyster Bay in the Syosset and Woodbury communities. This tunnel would place additional burdens on our communities, which are already densely populated and burdened with significant traffic, and ruin our environment and marine life. Members on the Town Board and the Bayville Anti-Tunnel Committee have been working to educate the public and protect our suburban quality of life.” Bayville Deputy Mayor Joe Russo added, “The tunnel’s potential for damage to Long Island’s aquifers, our region’s only source of water, is of grave concern. The Grumman-Navy Plume should have taught us that we need do everything possible to protect our water supply.” The meeting at Jericho High School will include a presentation on the project and educate residents on what they can do to help prevent its construction. Residents will have an opportunity to voice their concerns. For more information, please visit the Town’s website at www.oysterbaytown.com or call (516) 624-6380.

Plainview brothers’ music promotes philanthropy BY GARY SIMEONE
Jacob and Matthew Orgel
The band is called The Great Perhaps, and it is made up of two brothers from Plainview. Twenty year old Jacob Orgel and seventeen year old Matthew Orgel have spent the majority of their young lives making music together, and on June 15th, they will release their first EP. “Before, we just kind of messed around in our parents basement, writing songs and melodies,” said Jacob, who has just finished his junior year at the University of Maryland. “Not until recently have we really gotten serious about it.” He said the band’s genre is a cross between pop and rock, and a lot of the songs are introspective and positive in nature. One of the singles off of the EP, “Song to Save the World,” has been an anthem of sorts for one of Jacob’s fraternity brothers at the University of Maryland who is suffering from a debilitating disease. “It’s an uplifting, motivational anthem for a fraternity brother who is living with cystic fibrosis,” Jacob explained. “We kind of connected the
song with a fundraiser that he holds at the school called the Great Strides Walk.” “We partnered with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation on this, and the song tells the story of good friend and fraternity brother, Tom Brophy, and the Great Strides Walk he started at Maryland.” The song can be seen in a documentary-style video on YouTube and can also be streamed on Spotify and Apple Music. The brothers are all about philanthropy and helping out the community through their music. Their next release, a song called ‘The Chosen One,’ will be on a follow-up EP, and will also be performed at a fundraiser to help support school district’s music programs. “Music is so important to kids starting at the elementary school level, because it helps in the development of academia and social aspects,” said Jacob.

Athletic trainers from Syosset and Locust Valley high schools participated in this week’s training alongside NYU Winthrop’s athletic trainers who serve high schools in Garden City, East Meadow, Herricks, Hempstead,
Rockville Centre, Plainview, Westbury, Uniondale, and Levittown among others. Knowledge gained through Stop the Bleed is most often associated with treating injuries following mass casualties, gun violence, or car crashes, but sports injuries can also be very serious. By empowering the athletic trainers through Stop the Bleed, high school sports teams in Nassau County will now be better prepared to address a wide range of injury possibilities – including

life-threatening bleeding. “The NYU Winthrop athletic trainer team collaborates with physicians to provide preventative services, emergency care, clinical diagnosis, rehabilitation of injuries, and more,” said Christopher Napoli, MS, ATC, Supervisor of Athletic Training Services at NYU Winthrop. “Empowering athletic trainers through Stop the Bleed helps round out their capabilities if faced with serious bleeding, enabling them to provide assistance to save lives and limbs. This training should be required for athletic trainers in every school district on Long Island.” NYU Winthrop’s athletic trainers are part of the Hospital’s Sport Medicine program and the athletic trainers’ services include community outreach on acute care of injuries. Stop the Bleed is a national program that encourages first responders and everyday citizens to become trained to assist in a bleeding emergency until professional medical aid arrives. The NYU Winthrop Trauma team has been training organizations and residents across Long Island, bringing the program’s lifesaving techniques to firefighters, public safety officers, health professionals, universities, public entertainment venues, and, more recently, high school staffs. Noted Steve Tozer, the athletic trainer at Syosset High School, “As a certi-
fied athletic trainer, I am called upon to assist students who suffer injuries during athletic competitions. Stop the Bleed training enables me to now provide immediate assistance to halt serious bleeding until emergency responders arrive. While I hope I never have to utilize the skills learned in Stop the Bleed, the training could one day prove to be the difference between life and death.” According to a National Academies of Science study, trauma is the leading cause of death for Americans under the age of 46. In many cases, the deaths are due to blood loss and are preventable. The Stop the Bleed program teaches tactics to recognize life-threatening bleeding and provide immediate response to control that bleeding including by direct pressure, the use of tourniquets, or packing (filling) a wound with gauze or clean cloth. Bleeding wounds, such as ones to the arms and legs, can many times be controlled by direct pressure. Dr. D’Andrea Joseph, Chief of NYU Winthrop’s Division of Trauma and Critical Care, hopes that Stop the Bleed will become a standard lifesaving program just like CPR. The Hospital is encouraging institutions to install Stop the Bleed kits, which include tourniquets, alongside defibrillators in public venues and at schools.

SUMMER REGISTRATION Classes for Kids
WINNER PRESENTED BY BLANK SLATE MEDIA
One frequent criticism of the national news media is that it tends to be excessively focused on trendy metropolitan areas in the East and the West Coast, while ignoring large numbers of folks in “flyover” country, whose concerns are perceived as largely ignored. Indeed, both President Donald Trump’s election in 2016 and the failure of political pundits to predict his victory have been linked to a failure to understand the needs and desires of people living in less fashionable areas of the country. In an interesting and well written new book, The Great Revolt: Inside the Populist Coalition Reshaping American Politics (Crown Forum 2018), Salena Zito and Brad Todd provide an in-depth analysis of the Trump phenomenon as it was manifested in largely overlooked populations. Specifically, the authors spent a great deal of time interviewing 300 people who voted for Mr. Trump in key largely Rust Belt counties in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Iowa and Ohio that suddenly switched to Mr. Trump in 2016 after having repeatedly supported Democratic candidates in past elections. The book tells their personal stories, political and nonpolitical, in considerable detail. In addition, Mr Todd’s polling company provides in-depth statistical analysis of Trump voters. The stories of how these voters came to support Mr. Trump are obviously varied, but the authors divide their interviewees into a number of categories. There are blue collar workers (including union supporters) concerned about the loss of manufacturing jobs and skeptical about globalism and trade agreements. Another group, frequently in very rural areas and including women, was very concerned about losing gun rights and what they perceived as the loss of the ability to protect themselves. Then there was a group of political independents, similar to those who gravitated a generation ago to Ross Perot, who were attracted to Mr. Trump and his somewhat untraditional ideological message and suddenly decided to engage with the political system. While these voters were generally not particularly religious, another group of Trump supporters included strong evangeli-
cals who, despite Mr. Trump’s checkered personal life, believed that their religious beliefs would be protected by the promise (ultimately fulfilled) of a conservative Supreme Court nomination. And not a few Trump voters were upset at the change of the Democratic party from emphasis on multicultural rather than working class themes. (On the other hand, while some Trump voters were focused on immigration issues, building the Mexican wall was on the whole actually a fairly low priority.) The interviews with Trump supporters make clear that many of them diverge from traditional Republican voters in their suspicion of big business and global engagement, while still very much attracted to some base conservative values like self-reliance and the importance of hard work. While, as the authors repeatedly mention, Mr. Trump’s support in Rust Belt areas and among blue collar voters was offset by losses among women and among well-educated and white collar voters, particularly in the suburbs, there were pockets of supporters even in these groups. In areas with relatively few college graduates, like many of the areas focused on in The Great Revolt, Mr. Trump held his own among the well-educated; the authors posit that there was less social pressure against supporting Mr. Trump where there was more interaction among people with different educational backgrounds. While even women who supported Mr. Trump were turned off by his Access Hollywood interview, his overall economic and populist message in some instances managed to overcome these concerns, even among suburbanites. The authors state that the Trump voters believe that they have a “sense of mission to right the wrongs put upon middle-class Americans by the indifference of big business, big media and big government”. Whether that vision will overcome other, competing political views, demographic trends that may be unfavorable or even the shortcomings of the President they have elected, remains to be seen. At least, however, Ms. Zito and Mr. Todd have given some pivotal Trump voters a better opportunity to be understood.

June abounds with some of the special happenings that define New York City: The 40th Annual Museum Mile Festival, the biggest block party in the cultural capital of the world, takes place on Tuesday, June 13, 6 pm-9 pm, rain or shine on a mile-long stretch of Fifth Avenue, from 82 Street to 105 Street. It is a fantastically festive event,
with street performers – clowns, magicians, bands – plus art on the street activities. Best of all, eight museums are open at no charge, many offer entertainment and special activities inside. Begun as an initiative to spur the development of new museum audiences and to increase support for the arts during the fiscal crisis of the 1970s, Museum Mile was formed as a consortium by the museums that share the Fifth Avenue address. It has become one of the most popular happenings in a city known for spectacular events – some 40,000 turn out. It’s such
a wonderful opportunity to visit museums you might not otherwise see – I am always surprised. Expect long lines and, if you are strategic in your planning, to get in about 3 or 4 museums during the course of the night, depending upon how much time you spend enjoying the street entertainment. Participating museums include: El Museo del Barrio, 1230 Fifth Avenue (at 104th Street), New York, NY 10029, (212) 831-7272 (http:// www.elmuseo.org/) Museum of the City of New York, 1220 Fifth Avenue (at 104th Street), New York, NY 10029 (212)

W R I T E R’S C O R N E R
When “reinventing” means creating something oh, so new BY CLAIRE LYNCH A few years ago I kept hearing the word “reinvent” over and over again. It seemed as if someone or something was constantly being mentioned in the news for reinventing himself, herself or itself, as in a company or a corporation. Sure I had heard the phrase, “someone reinvented the wheel” and I realized that it has two different connotations. One is why invent something that someone else already has invented? The second connotation is the fact that people actually have reinvented the wheel. I’ve seen skateboarders use cube-like wheels that feel perfectly circular when they are rolling. (theatlantic.com, 6/10/13, “This Guy Reinvented the Wheel ... by Turning It Into a Cube”) In this article, Megan Garber writes how inventor David Patrick, an avid skateboarder, stumbled (or, you know, skated) onto a way to reinvent the wheel as something that he claims is better than the traditional cylindrical model - something faster, more stable and more ground-gripping. Its inspiration, Patrick says, “came from a cube.” He calls his creation the “Shark Wheel.” I’ve also seen athletes, actors, politicians and others reinvent themselves – and start entirely new careers or approached how they handled existing careers in a totally different way. A good example is the former governor of California. Austrian-born Arnold Schwarzenegger (who served as governor of California from November 2003 to January 2011) had also in his younger days been a bodybuilder and later, an actor. I enjoyed seeing him in “The Terminator” in 1989 and “Kindergarten Cop” in 1990. Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as John Kimble in “Kindergarten Cop,” a tough police detective working
undercover as a kindergarten teacher to apprehend the vicious drug dealer Cullen Crisp before Crisp can get to his former wife and son. While working undercover, Kimble discovers his passion for teaching and considers changing his profession to become an educator. Arnold Schwarzenegger is pretty good in his new role as teacher and he is pretty amusing in the sense that he uses some rather unorthodox teaching methods. We, the audience, all know that he really was investigating this criminal activity but Arnold Schwarzenegger played a pretty good - and amusing teacher in “Kindergarten Cop.” Additionally, Arnold Schwarzenegger starred in other films that were pretty popular. I also knew that many professional athletes who played their sport then after retiring they went into very different fields. Retired NFL running back Emerson Boozer played in Jets’ AFL and NFL. When Boozer was drafted by the N.Y. Jets, they put him at halfback. Sharing the job with Bill Mathis as a rookie, Boozer worked hard and became a starter in 1967. His ability to block with intensity earned him a league-wide reputation. In 1967, with Snell injured, the Jets turned to Boozer as a rusher. In the first half of that season, Emerson Boozer showed what he could do. He often broke tackles and excelled in the open field. He had 10 touchdowns by mid-season and appeared ready to easily surpass the league record. But Boozer suffered a devastating knee injury against Kansas City that completely altered his career. Despite playing just half that year, he still led the AFL in rushing touchdowns for the season. Boozer’s work ethic
further revealed itself over the next two seasons. He wasn’t a breakaway runner anymore, however. Emerson Boozer changed himself into more of an outstanding blocker and goal-line touchdown scorer. (enacademic.com) Astronaut and politician John Glenn knew something about reinventing himself. On February 20, 1962, John Glenn piloted the Friendship 7 spacecraft, which was launched from Cape Canaveral in Florida. He orbited Earth three times during his mission, which lasted for nearly five hours. With that he became the first U.S. astronaut to orbit Earth. Several years later he ran for the Senate from Ohio, his home state. Already famous as a highly decorated military pilot and astronaut when he arrived in the Senate in 1974, John Glenn sought to become a leader in government. Glenn represented Ohio for 25 years. Along the way, on October 29, 1998, Glenn made a return to space on the space shuttle Discovery, and made history again as the oldest person to enter space at the age of 77. The nine-day mission had many goals, including an investigation on aging and space travel. The following year, in January 1999, Glenn retired from the Senate. Perhaps one of the most famous examples of someone changing careers and reinventing himself was Ronald Reagan. In this total transformation, Reagan went from being a Hollywood movie star to becoming the 40th president of the U.S. in 1981. Prior to the presidency, he was a Hollywood actor and union leader before serving as the 33rd governor of California from 1967 to 1975. Tampico, Ill., native Ronald Reagan graduated from Eureka College in
Eureka, Ill., in 1932 with a bachelor’s degree in economics and sociology. He decided to enter radio broadcasting. He landed a job as a sportscaster at station WOC in Davenport, Iowa, by delivering entirely from memory an exciting playby-play description of a Eureka College football game. Later he moved to station WHO in Des Moines, Ia., where, as sportscaster “Dutch Reagan,” he became popular throughout the state for his broadcasts of Chicago Cubs baseball games. Because the station couldn’t afford to send him to Wrigley Field in Chicago, Reagan was forced to improvise a running account of the games that were in progress based on sketchy details delivered over a teletype machine. He rose to the challenge and made the baseball games as exciting as he could. (britannica.com) While traveling with the Cubs in California in 1937, Reagan took a screen test that led to a seven-year contract with Warner Brothers studios. He spent the first few years of his Hollywood career in the “B film” unit. During the next 27 years, he appeared in more than 50 films, including “Knute Rockne - All American” in 1940, “Kings Row” in 1942 and The Hasty Heart” in 1950. In 1966, Reagan announced his candidacy for governor of California. When asked by a reporter how he would perform in office, Reagan replied, “I don’t know. I’ve never played a governor.” Reagan won the election by nearly 1 million votes. As U.S. president, in a speech Reagan made in West Berlin on June 12, 1987, he said, “Tear down this wall” as he called for the leader of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev, to open up the barrier which had divided West See page D7

Trying to Help Dad Led to Complications BY TOM MARGENAU
Q: My dad is 90 years old and I help him with medical appointments and managing important business affairs. We went to our local Social Security office to change dad’s address. While there, I asked to be added to dad’s account so that I can make inquiries on his behalf. The clerk signed me up to be his “representative payee.” Then a few weeks later, I got a letter explaining that I now was the only person responsible for dad’s Social Security account -- a designation that included reporting requirements to the government. That is NOT what I wanted. So we went back asking to revoke the representative payee status. This time, a different clerk told us we could not do that without a doctor’s note to say that dad can manage his own affairs. I got the doctor’s note, and we went back to social security office. Yet another clerk then made dad his own representative payee. So now, I’ve just transferred the burden of reporting to my father! Is there any way to explain things better to the folks at the Social Security office to get things back to dad’s original status? We just want him to be a regular person getting his Social Security in the regular way without all this payee stuff. Can you help me sort this out? A: First of all, let me reassure you that based on what you told me, everything seems to be back to normal. Your dad is just “a regular person getting his Social Security checks in the regular way.” But now let me review what happened in your case to explain how Social Security handles these cases. I must start out by making this important point: The Social Security Administration is very strict about privacy laws. Back when I was first hired by SSA in 1973 and sent to a training class, we spent the entire first day reviewing the privacy laws of Social Security records. Those laws require that NO information from your Social Security record can be disclosed to anyone else. Not even to a spouse, a grown child or a close relative. Because of those privacy laws, there is simply no way you could simply be “added to dad’s account.” But the law does allow someone to handle a relative’s or friend’s Social Security account IF that person is judged to be mentally incapable of handling his or her own affairs. And SSA calls that person a “representative payee.” So the only way you could be added to your dad’s account was to be named his payee. And being a payee means you are not only responsible for receiving and spending your dad’s Social Security checks, but also you are required to
report to SSA (usually once a year) how you spent his funds. It sounds like when you learned that, you decided you didn’t want to be your dad’s payee. So you went back to your Social Security office to reverse things. But frankly, I’m a little puzzled how you managed to do that. And here is why. Remember, I said that a representative payee can only be appointed if someone has been judged to be mentally incapable of handling his or her own Social Security affairs. So to be named your father’s payee in the first place, a doctor or other medical professional had to sign a form saying your dad was not capable of handling his affairs. And that means that to get yourself off of your dad’s record as his rep payee, some other doctor had to sign a different form saying your dad was capable of handling his own affairs. I hope you understand how confusing this sounds. But it does seem like the third SSA clerk you dealt with straightened everything out. You used the wrong term by saying they “changed the representative payee to dad.” I mean, every person getting his or her own Social Security check is technically his or her own payee, though not a formal “representative payee” in the legal sense of the term. So that’s why I am pretty sure things are back to normal. Your dad is now simply getting his own checks like he always was before. Having said all that, we can get back to your original issue. I know you are simply trying to help your father handle some of his Social Security issues. You certainly can do that on an informal basis. I’m sure there are millions of sons and daughters out there helping a very elderly mother or father. But because of those privacy laws I mentioned earlier, that help has to remain at home and remain informal. You just won’t be able to contact or deal with the Social Security Administration on your dad’s behalf -- as long as he remains mentally capable of handling his own affairs. Q: I have power of attorney for my mother. Yet, when I went to our local Social Security office to try to change her direct deposit account from her old bank to my bank, they wouldn’t let me do it. They said my power of attorney status meant nothing to them. They told me that my mom has to request the change herself. I explained to them that my mother was old and that it is difficult for her to get around. But that didn’t seem to faze them. How can I convince them that my power of attorney status gives me the right to handle all my mom’s legal affairs, including Social Security? A: You can’t convince them, because it’s not true. Your power of attorney status is essentially meaningless for Social Security purposes. Why? Because
you can get yourself appointed power of attorney for a variety of reasons, including the fact that you just want to help your mom out. In other words, your mom may be mentally capable of handling her affairs, but she just needs some assistance. And to re-emphasize the point I made about privacy in my answer to the first question, if she is mentally competent, then her Social Security records and information can only be disclosed to her. So if she
wants her checks now sent to your bank account, she should call SSA at 800-7721213 to request the change. If she is not capable of handling her own affairs, then you need to get yourself appointed as her representative payee. If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has the answer.

Great Day to Book a Bike Tour: United Nations Declares June 3 World Bicycle Day BY KAREN RUBIN TRAVEL FEATURES SYNDICATE, GOINGPLACESFARANDNEAR.COM
The United Nations has declared June 3rd World Bicycle Day in recognition of the positive impact bicycles have on human health and the environment. Not to mention biking immerses you in the life around you; you see the world at a pace slow enough to really see without a window to separate you, fast enough to see a lot, and you can stop where you want and really smell the roses, even chat with a local. You become a mobile ambassador of mutual understanding. With cycling growing in popularity worldwide, this is a good time to showcase but a few of the finest bicycle tours available.

(cycleoflifeadventures.com, 303-945-9886) One of my favorite bike tours because of the sheer number of interesting sites, sights, scenery is the annual Cycle the Erie Canal ride, which travels 400-miles, from Buffalo to Albany, following the Erie Canalway. The ride offers 400 miles and 400 years of history. This year’s, the 20th annual ride, is scheduled July 8 – 15, 2018 (www.ptny.org/canaltour).

This year’s Sojourn travels 160-miles along the Delaware and Lehigh trail (D&L Trail) in Pennsylvania (railstotrails.org). Also, I have back-to-back bike tours set through one of our favorite bike tour companies BikeTours.com: the first is a weeklong self-guided bike tour from Venice to Trieste to Istria; then I will link up with a week-long guided bike tour of Slovenia.

Stony Brookside, Long Island’s First Bed-and-Bike Inn How about a biking weekend in the East End? Take your bike on the Long Island Railroad and come out to Stony
Brookside, what may be Long Island’s first bed-and-bike inn. Located in the historic district of Stony Brook Village, about 90 minutes from New York City, the Stony Brookside Bed & Bike Inn, which opened in 2016, is a colonial revival built in 1941 and designed by renowned architect Richard Haviland Smythe. The Inn has an artistic flavor and is decorated with pieces of original artwork by family members including artist Carol Buchman and a chandelier created from reused bicycle parts by artist Carolina Fontoura Alzaga. The offers a beautiful breakfast room, library, three bedrooms with views of the Stony Brook Mill Pond or the Stony Brook village, and a backyard. Guests have access to the breakfast room stocked with refreshments, a full living room, refrigerator, bicycle storage, on-site parking and the use of its new outdoor Yoga platform. Individual and group Yoga classes available upon request. There are many options for destinations within riding distance of the Inn – historic sites, wineries (local or the North Fork Wine Trail), Shelter Island, the Hamptons & South Fork, local festivals, hidden beaches, musical events. Shuttle service can be arranged. The inn can create a self-guided route based on your interest, goal and skill level, and will supply a Garmin GPS loaded with your route for your day’s bike tour. There are several loops that start and end at the Inn that give you the option to do one or more or call it a day – your choice. Or you can join a custom and individualized guided tour of your choice. Whether your goal is to train, sightsee, or have knowledgeable company along with you for the ride, we can lead you through the most scenic and historic of routes in the area. Bring your own bike, use one of the inn’s road bikes available to guests, or rent a bike from the local shop, Campus Bicycle (guests get a discount). You can also rent a Big Cat electric bicycle (this should be done in advance).

When “reinventing” means creating something oh, so new C ontinued from page D3 and East Berlin since 1961. He is known for many other accomplishments while president. (history.com) When defining words I like to look them up just to be sure of what they mean. According to the Cambridge Dictionary, to “reinvent” means to produce something new that is based on something that already exists: E.g., “The story of Romeo and Juliet was reinvented as a Los Angeles gangster movie.” Another example is: to change someone or something so much that the person or thing seems completely new. E.g., “He promised to reinvent government if elected.” Another example is: “At 60, he reinvented himself as a volunteer.” Certain words tend to go in and out of vogue and “reinvent” seems to be one of them. Then, suddenly, a few years went by and it occurred to me that I hadn’t heard that phrase in a while. The media has moved on to other words such as optics, binge watching (as in “I bingewatched a whole season of a favorite show on Netflix”) and “Seussian” (“of, relating to, or suggestive of the works of Dr. Seuss”). There is a place in our everyday language and lexicon, however, for reinventing. Sometimes people need to reinvent themselves for a variety of reasons. Taking a promotion or a new job can bring someone a healthy challenge, a new outlook on things and a fresh look at the job. Moving to a new home, whether it’s in the same town or city or in a totally different one can many times bring a fresh outlook on life. Traveling somewhere you’ve never been before can create a sense of relaxation, a new sense of interest and inquiry, and the chance to learn all about a new city, a new country, etc. I think that the saying, “Out with the old, in with the new” was created, after all, for a reason. For much of my life the people I knew went to work for a company or the government and stayed there for 40 years or more. They would start working there in their 20s, put in their time and retire in their 60s. They would ease into Medicare, Social Security and their golden years to travel and pursue hobbies or take volunteer positions that interested them. Many people started to make career changes when they were in their 30s and 40s. Some people made these changes voluntarily. Other
people started looking for work in others areas due to the fact that their company or corporation had downsized. When I was a child growing up in the 1960s and early 1970s in Rockville Centre, I never heard the word “reinvent” bandied about in conversations. In fact, my father worked a full-time job in Manhattan for 40 years after serving in World War II. He got on the LIRR at around 7:20 a.m., commuted to the city from Monday through Friday, worked from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. and returned home to have dinner with the whole family at 6:30 p.m. As far as I knew, my dad never had to reinvent himself. My friend Mary Sue’s dad worked a fulltime job on Long Island. He put on his suit and tie, grabbed his briefcase and lunch, and headed out to work each morning. He never had to reinvent himself - or anything that we knew of - at all. My friend Pam’s father worked for the Flying Tigers Airline (named after the Flying Tigers fighter unit of World War II which was officially the first American Volunteer Group) at Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, Ct. A supervisor who worked the second shift, from about 2 p.m. - 10 p.m., Hal put in 38 years then retired and collected a pension for the rest of his life. About halfway through his career, however, Hal reinvented himself as a worker on weekends at a nearby assisted living facility. They needed some extra help and Hal loved helping people and interacting with both the seniors and the staff. Another friend, Joe, worked full-time as an auto mechanic for 22 years in northern Connecticut. He had a real knack for diagnosing mechanical problems in cars and he was proud to do a good job every day. Joe wanted a change, however. He left that job to rescue kittens. Joe has them vet checked then he either adopts them out or takes them to an animal shelter. It’s his way of fulfilling the life-long passion he’s had for taking care of animals. My friend’s brother, Kevin, worked in a warehouse in Hartford, Ct., then made a geographical move to the Atlanta, Ga., area where he worked as a cook. To each his own. All I know is that times have changed and reinventing oneself has gotten more and more common. Sometimes life startles us into reinventing ourselves and sometimes we just want to make a change. Either way, reinventing oneself can be a great thing.

Town Beaches open for summer season
Residents anxious to get their summer started a little early this year can visit certain Town of Oyster Bay beaches on weekends beginning Saturday, May 26. TOBAY, Centre Island, Philip B. Healey at Florence Avenue, and Theodore Roosevelt Beaches will open for business every weekend and on Memorial Day until beaches open daily on June 23rd. Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor Joseph Saladino stated, “The summer season is nearly upon us, and many residents are eagerly looking forward to Memorial Day weekend for the first opportunity to enjoy a sun-filled fun-day at our beaches. Our residents are invited to come enjoy the start of the beach season and spend some time with your feet in the sand.” Beach stickers are on sale daily at TOBAY Beach, John J. Burns Town Park in Massapequa and Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park and Beach in Oyster Bay, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. To purchase a resident beach sticker for your vehicle, residents must present their vehicle registration and
bring the vehicle they plan to drive to the beach since stickers are placed on the vehicle at the time of purchase. Only Town residents may purchase beach stickers for Town of Oyster Bay Beaches. Councilman Tom Hand added, “Beach lovers can get an early start on enjoying the magnificent Town facilities during the weekend before they open full time for the summer. From Saturday, June 23, through Labor Day, all Town beaches will be open for the season seven days a week.” Seasonal stickers are $60, which pay for themselves following three visits. Residents aged 60+ qualify for a Senior Beach ID at the Town Clerk’s Office for a one-time fee of $32. Additionally, volunteer firefighters, U.S. Coast Guard members, Armed Forces service members, and veterans all qualify for seasonal beach passes at reduced rates. For more information, contact the Beach Division of the Town of Oyster Bay Parks Department at 797-4111 or visit www.oysterbaytown.com.
