Renovations at Syosset LIRR station On Thursday, July 19th, construction began at the LIRR Syosset Station as part of a Capital Improvement Project. The construction will include adding Wi-Fi service, LED lighting, new bike racks, renovation of the station house, digital signs, USB charging stations, electronic information display columns, and other upgrades. This project is expected to be completed by

fall 2018. “As we move forward in the world, so must our surrounding environments,” said Assemblyman Michael Montesano. “It is great to see the LIRR upgrading its stations to provide a better experience for its customers. I look forward to seeing these upgrades being made to all stations eventually.” During this time, the station

house will be completely closed. A temporary waiting room will be open from 6am to 1pm Monday through Friday with the exception of holidays. Construction will mainly take place between 7am and 3:30pm Monday through Friday. The North Lot will only be accessible from Cold Spring Harbor Road, and access from Jackson Avenue will be closed.

Touching on one of the hottest topics in the New York tristate real estate market, Long Island’s North Shore, was on the agenda as the Syosset Woodbury Chamber of Commerce kicked off the first day of summer and a fresh lineup of its networking and informative events. Syosset resident Patricia Santella of Douglas Elliman Real Estate’s East Norwich office, 6326 Northern Boulevard, hosted the Chamber of Commerce’s business meeting on Thursday June 21. She was joined by fellow Syosset resident and Douglas Elliman realtor, Joan Kimmel, who works out of the Syosset office at 317 Jackson Avenue. Both ladies have collaborated with longtime Chamber director “Trish” Tricia Shannon, an associate realtor with Douglas Elliman’s Syosset office. The Douglas Elliman realty group is not a franchise, as Santella explained the partnership in ownership by “Howard and Dottie” – Chairman Howard M. Lorber, who began with Merrill Lynch’s Long Island Division and expanded with Prudential Long Island Realty becoming a ‘power brokerage’ for Long Island and the Hamptons, and the company’s CEO, Dorothy “Dottie” Herman, who has been named to Crain’s New York

Business 50 Most Powerful Women in New York multiple times. Douglas Elliman has offices in select ‘premium market’ locations in the U.S. In her presentation Santella zeroed-in on the Syosset, Woodbury, Jericho and Old Brookville markets for the Chamber of Commerce audience last week, offering a perspective often unheard and unseen by consuming New York City or Long Island media reports. “In Syosset for the under-$1 million price range there are not many homes on the market for the amount of buyers that are out there. Mortgage rates are increasing which means the buying power is limited…. You are seeing lots of bidding wars and houses going for over-list price and a lot of appraisals not going through. There are many over-$1 million houses around and they are not selling all that quickly….If they are priced right they can go but if they are a little high, they are remaining on the market. Woodbury, Muttontown, Oyster Bay Cove and some parts in north Syosset have the over-$1 million homes,” she said. Santella advised that Woodbury is the area leader, “picking up the pace” and has the prices continuing upward. For Syosset she said the prices on See page 8

The Merrill Presidential Scholars Program honors Cornell University’s most outstanding graduating seniors, who rank in the top one percent of the class in their respective schools and colleges, while also recognizing the high school teachers who have played a significant role in ensuring their success. Falchook was one of 32 graduating seniors who were selected by their college deans for their intellectual drive, leadership abilities, and potential to contribute to society. Each student then nominated a high school teacher and Cornell faculty member who most inspired them as scholars. Falchook chose to nominate Carisa Steinberg as her most influential high school teacher. A biology teacher at

Syosset High School and a 1997 Cornell University graduate, Steinberg passed on her love of learning to Falchook, who took her advanced placement biology class as a high school senior. “It was a very rigorous course, and that’s where I really developed my passion for learning,” Falchook said. “She created such a welcoming environment, where I felt I could participate and ask questions. That really made the difference.” Both Falchook and Steinberg were honored at the 30th annual Merrill Presidential Scholars Convocation luncheon hosted in May by Cornell’s president. As he congratulated them on being extraordinary teachers, Provost Michael Kotlikoff remarked to the honored educators “You can take pride in having influenced some of Cornell’s top graduating seniors – and in knowing that they continue to appreciate all you did for them.”

Great Performers with Marc Courtade: The Charismatic Peter O’Toole Peter O’Toole rose to fame in the 1962 epic film Lawrence of Arabia. An Irish bookmaker’s son, he was known as much for his hell-raising as for acting. His film career spanned over forty years. He made many excellent films such as Becket and The Lion in Winter, and many awful ones, but he never gave a dull performance. O’Toole had the most Academy Award nominations (8) with no wins. He was given an Honorary Oscar in 2003 for lifetime achievement, which he accepted with gracious wit and his ever-present charm.

Broadway Overtures with Richard Knox The idea of using a symphonic introduction for a musical theater production began centuries ago. Composers of grand opera began their works with a collection of musical motifs that allowed audiences to become acquainted with the melodies that followed once the curtain was raised. This musical “foreshadowing” became a key ingredient in productions such as Showboat, Oklahoma!, Guys and Dolls, My Fair Lady, and Gypsy. The act of weaving one song into another within a narrow time frame is an art unto itself. Be prepared for a wonderful experience reliving a host of melodies that have become an essential part of American music during this program.

Jericho student to study in China on State Dept. scholarship

Emily Kweit Emily Kweit, a high school student in Jericho, has been awarded a National Security Language Initiative for Youth (NSLI-Y) Scholarship for 2018-19 by the U.S. State Department's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. Emily will study Chinese in China for the summer. Emily, competitively selected out of over 3,300 applications from across the United States, is one of approximately 670 students who will study Arabic, Chinese, Hindi, Korean, Persian, Indonesian, or Russian overseas this

coming year. While in China, Emily will receive formal language instruction, live with a host family, and experience the local culture as part of an immersion environment. The NSLI-Y program is part of a multi-agency U.S. Government initiative launched in 2006 to improve Americans' ability to communicate in select critical languages to advance international dialogue and increase American economic global competitiveness. The goals of the NSLI-Y program include: promoting critical language learning among American youth; enhancing cross-cultural understanding and deepening trust; sparking a lifetime of interest in foreign language and culture; and developing the skills to advance international dialogue, compete effectively in the global marketplace, promote mutual understanding, and contribute to a more peaceful world. NSLI-Y is administered by American Councils for International Education in cooperation with AFS-USA, American Cultural Exchange Service, AMIDEAST, iEARN-USA, the Russian American Foundation, Stony Brook University, the University of Delaware, the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, and the University of Wisconsin. Applications for 2019-20 NSLI-Y programs are expected to be available at www.nsliforyouth.org in the late summer.

Robert Seaman Elementary School’s Annual PTA Luncheon

Mrs. Kaufman and Ms. Frischer were honored at the luncheon. BY DARLENE PERGOLA-APOLANT The Robert Seaman PTA held its annual Ladies Luncheon, which took place at Chris & Tony's in Syosset on Friday, May 4th. The lunch committee did a great job with the decorations and set the tone for a relaxing and enjoyable afternoon. The ladies got to socialize with each other as friends, neighbors, and fellow PTA members. After a year that was filled with many committees that everyone contributed to, it was nice to relax together as a group. It was an afternoon filled

with fun, food, amazing raffles, and shopping that included jewelry, clothing, stationary, personalized items, and camp must-haves. The PTA invited administrators of the Jericho Schools to attend and they enjoyed meeting new PTA members and saying hello to old friends. This year’s luncheon honored two wonderful teachers, Mrs. Kaufman and Ms. Frischer. We can’t thank them enough for their commitment and dedication to the Seaman community. We wish them all the best on their retirement.

Syosset Woodbury Chamber discusses housing market, trends From page 1 the market have come down a bit. “Luxury homes” are staying on the market a while but prices are not dropping dramatically, Santella advised. She says around June 11 she listed a house and 35 buyers coming to the first showing, and many offered over the asking price in its first few days on the market. “You have first-time homebuyers, you have millennials and you have people who are downsizing. All three are looking for that size house. Oyster Bay Cove is experiencing some bit of a downturn. There is good news here in that Muttontown elected a new mayor and Board and they have come to our open houses, realizing what’s going on. They know lots of builders and architects had left projects for Muttontown because regulations had made it too hard to build there in the recent past,” she told attendees. Laura Schultz of RESIDENTS for a More Beautiful Syosset asked Santella about direct buyers from other countries purchasing homes in the area, and Santella says this is not as common as it was 10 years ago. At that time, due to the great quality of local school districts including Jericho and Syosset, many buyers from other countries looked to get homes upwards of the $3 million

and $5 million price range. Now some buyers, or investors, purchase multiple homes that run below $1 million in the same areas. The Chamber members briefly discussed the area’s shifting demographics since the early 2000’s and the enrollment in the school district. Santella says the Town of Oyster Bay is involved in vetting the permits for mother-daughter homes and not allowing accessory apartments in town. She says in recent years the Town Board has increased regulation by following up with its municipal staff’s or Building Department site visits.

Perspective on schools

Syosset Board of Education Trustee Andrew Feldman, who was elected to a second term on the school board and sworn in on July 10, attended the June 21 Chamber of Commerce meeting as he is a business owner in Syosset himself. He explained that the school district created a more stringent enrollment process as students need to be re-registered for Middle School and High school in the district as they transition grades. Trustee Feldman also said Syosset High School enrollment has increased some in each of the last two academic years. Santella says in the immediate vicinity of South Grove Middle School there has been construction moving away from ranch houses and creating 3,000

sq.-foot homes, each with more children as the older residents have sold and moved out. She added that the Stone Hill development also adds more children into the district and creates something of a shift for the district to manage. Another trend for the Syosset/Woodbury market is the high rental market, as Santella told Chamber members many residents and those with families have sold their homes quickly and not had adequate time to select their next home to buy. In other parts of Nassau County things have changed too, as the south shore is experiencing a good market. “All of sudden buyers have forgotten about Superstorm Sandy and everybody wants to be on the water. The elevation is factored in and people do like the deep water docks – that’s back,” she said. Santella says many buyers want homes that aren’t brand new construction, and the inventory of homes for sale in our area just cannot meet the demand of the hot market. “A lot of people don’t want to deal with some of the new construction mistakes, foundation, settling and any leaks. On the other hand some buyers only want new construction. A lot of these builders just purchase homes in one neighborhood and roll out, flipping then selling the homes,” she said. Some sellers in the Jericho-Syosset-Muttontown area saw their homes remain on the market for a longer time in 2017 due to buyers’ hesitations over traffic and the access to public transportation. Santella says it is unrealistic to expect new residents to take the Glen Cove Ferry to Manhattan for their commutes. Most new residents take the LIRR from Hicksville “because they like the hub,” she said as the early birds can find parking on weekday mornings. “If you commute and you go after 7:15am. then you are not getting a spot in any town – but when the train does run, for work or for going into the city for a concert, theater or a game the LIRR is actually very convenient,” Santella told Chamber members. At the start of the June 21 meeting Charo Ezdrin, president of the Syosset Woodbury Chamber of Commerce, welcomed Santella in her opening remarks and encouraged Chamber members to host a get-together in order to have the business community and local residents “pay a visit, with a chance to have a spotlight your business.” She said rotating the locations every month to another member’s business builds relationships and puts the operations and physical locations of company “on the map.” President Ezdrin reminded attendees last week that if they are a Chamber member and are intent on coming to the many meetings, networking socials at area restaurants and unique venues as well as ribbon-cuttings or business anniversary celebrations, they can contact new Chamber Administrator Maria

Duchin to receive a nametag (free of charge). Duchin was introduced on June 21 and has contacted Chamber members online and in person to let them know of new opportunities, events and the plans for the second half of 2018 and beyond. The Chamber has introduced nametags for its members so they can be better acquainted to start meetings, and recently vegetarian food items were suggested to offer a full variety during the food and drinks portion of meetings. Another initiative from Chamber President Charo Ezdrin is to begin the informal meetings with the Pledge of Allegiance whenever possible, and the Chamber’s board approved that notion in the spring. Alan Goldberg, co-chair of the Syosset Woodbury Chamber’s Membership Committee and Networking Committee, announced a free one-year subscription to Litmor Publishing’s Syosset Advance for Chamber members on an opt-in basis. The weekly newspapers, published each Friday, will be available for delivery to the preferred address of any Chamber member. Further information is available by contacting Chamber Administrator Duchin.

Nancy Burpee has been swimming competitively all her life. Not only against other elite swimmers, but also against a rare connective tissue disease. Then she faced her greatest challenge: lung cancer. Nancy was told she faced a choice: either major invasive surgery or wait and see if the tumor would shrink. Instead, she turned to NYU Winthrop Hospital and Dr. Laurence Spier, one of the country’s top robotic lung surgeons. Dr. Spier not only removed the tumor without removing the entire lung, he was able to “tease” her lung free from the chest wall. Nancy was amazed at the improvement in her breathing and stamina. In just three weeks, she was back in the pool, swimming faster than she had in years. Thanks to NYU Winthrop, Nancy is still competing. And in all the ways that count, she remains undefeated.

Caribbean Destinations: Best Way to Help Rebuild is Simply to Come, Enjoy BY KAREN RUBIN TRAVEL FEATURES SYNDICATE GOINGPLACESFARANDNEAR.COM For those of us anguished over the destruction of Puerto Rico, Dominica, Anguilla and other Caribbean islands badly battered by category 5 hurricanes Irma and Maria last year, the best way to help is to come down, visit, spend money at the refurbished resorts and hotels and help revitalize the critical tourism industry that so many islanders depend on. And for those who may feel pangs of guilt luxuriating on the beach and in lavish hotels and want to do more to help rebuild, there are ways to volunteer some of your time working on local projects. The Wyndham Grand Rio, located literally next door to Puerto Rico’s El Yunque Rainforest, which reopened January, has an arrangement with the rainforest and can shuttle guests who want to help out on projects such as clearing debris. The resort, which has its own generated, is located one hour from the airport in an area that has been fully restored. Puerto Rico’s tourism website, SeePuertoRico.com, can link you to “meaningful travel” such as

On Anguilla, the luxurious Villa Viewfort’s infinity pool is where guests enjoy impressive sunsets and 360-degree panoramic views (photo courtesy of Villa Viewfort) through Para la Natural, a local service organization. “You see the resilience of the island,” said Sara Green Hill, who represents the Wyndham Grand Rio and visited in January. “The service is actually better because people are so happy to have visitors...The island looks good.”

realized it had to fast track these programs, develop an infrastructure to support them. “Now we realize we need to be more involved. Where people stay, how transported, safety and insurance – a total package. Some want to be part of program, others just want to spend a day as a volunteer, so they can call the tourist board to set up. We hope to grow and expand these programs.” Meanwhile, Dominica, which calls itself “The Nature Island of the Caribbean,” has launched “ReDiscover Dominica,” using discounts on accommodations and on-island activities to attract nature lovers, “meaningful” travelers, adventure seekers, wellness enthusiasts, educational travelers and leisure travelers to visit. ReDiscover Dominica eatures one free night on a minimum four-night stay at nine participating hotels. To qualify for the free night, bookings must be made by July 31, 2018 using the promo code DOM2018 and travel between July and December 15, 2018. Adult visitors age 18 and over will also receive up to US$100 in coupon vouchers redeemable at 15 participating vendors and hotels. Activities include dining, car rentals, horseback riding, island tours, underwater experiences, spa services and duty-free shopping. Visitors are encouraged to book through tour operators within their geographic location or book directly with participating hotels on the campaign website.

Hurricane Maria: www.dominicaupdate.com, follow Dominica on Twitter and Facebook and take a look at our videos on YouTube Villa Viewfort, Anguilla The timing of a hurricane of historic proportions couldn’t have been worse for Villa Viewfort, a 200year old family estate that was opened for guests as a luxurious mansion experience (complete with butler service) only two years ago, on Anguilla, an island that is not normally hit by hurricanes. But the eye of Irma hit the island directly, amazingly not doing substantial damage to the historic home, but with winds of 185 mph, gusting to 215 mph, hitting with such force that marble pillars were shattered, steel rods were bent. After being closed for six months, the estate reopened (“rebirth”) to guests in May. “It allowed us to build an extra suite, redo the bathrooms and floors.” ViewFort Estate is where Anguilla’s heritage and modern luxury meld to offer discerning travelers the comforts of home at the Island’s most elegant and historic setting – and the only of its kind - on the beautiful and sought-after destination of Anguilla. It delivers an unmatched ‘at home’ feeling for its guests while providing a window into the best of Anguillian culture and hospitality. Anguilla is a place where celebrities like Justin Bieber come to get away from prying eyes. The Gumbs family who owns the estate also owns one of the island’s most popular beaches, Little Bay, as well as a nature reserve, and in addition to curating authentic cultural experiences at the villa and on the island, also can curate voluntourism experiences to help repair the severe damage that Irma inflicted on

Puerto Rico’s Castillo San Felipe del Morro (also known as “El Morro”), perhaps the most iconic fortification built by the Spanish in the Americas, covers a 140 foot-high promontory at the entrance to the Bay of San Juan. This fortress, a US National Historic Site, consists of 6 levels facing the Atlantic Ocean, all of which were designed to create a devastating artillery fire over enemy ships. By the time of its completion around 1790, it had the reputation of being unconquerable and was the most feared of all the Spanish colonial fortifications. © Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com

the island. Framed by rock walls of a previous generation positioned on the highest point of Anguilla (214 ft.), the Villa owes its authenticity to a beautifully preserved 200-year old structure that has remained in the family, one of the last remaining examples of artisanal work of 19th century Anguilla. The Villa and its 9 characteristically-appointed Suites capture 360-degree panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea, Atlantic Ocean and Anguilla’s neighboring islands and cays. Combined with the feeling and essence of casual elegance the Villa exudes, it was purposefully designed to be unpretentious and deliver a warmth and serenity that comes from the easy-going lifestyle that is signature to the island. “We call this Pure Anguilla, something no other resort, villa or hotel can authentically convey.” The Villa’s infinity pool spills out into two oversized Jacuzzis surrounded by miles of ocean frontage, where under swaying coconut fronds guests enjoy impressive sunsets and star-filled, moon-lit skies. Main House Suites provide the graceful appointments expected of a 5-star property and living spaces inclusive of a commercial-sized kitchen, library, indoor dining and living room, much like the comfortable luxury of an elegant home. The Villa Suites, separated by green lawns on the estate’s lower level, also have premium appointments but separate sleeping quarters areas for private dining, lounging and outdoor terraces with ocean views. Classically-trained butlers and staff are available 24/7 to ensure guests enjoy a fully tailored Pure Anguilla experience at every turn. It is the ideal setting for family vacations, weddings and holidays. ViewFort Estate offers a “trinity” of attractions: it encompasses 80 acres of the Gumb family’s Katouche Forest, with caves, hiking trails, wetlands and two secluded beaches - Katouche Bay and Little Bay. Katouche, which offers an educational and fun guided hiking and caving/spelunking tour experience, has earned its fame with one of its found artifacts now on display at The Smithsonian. Little Bay beach, which is hugged by the serene beauty of the protected cliffs, is internationally recognized for its blue crystal waters and powdery sands and outstanding snorkeling, swimming and water-sports. A signature of Villa Viewfort is the opportunity to enjoy curated experiences. “As the Estate’s native owners and proprietors, the goal is to always bring forth an authentic Pure Anguilla feeling with carefully curated experiences that bring our island’s culture to life. Ensuring every guest is immersed in the natural beauty, rich culture and proud heritage of this remarkable island is a strong motivator for what brings our guests back over and over again.” These might include: • Prepare private Culinary Experiences with Anguilla’s top, Michelin-star, classically trained Chef; • Handle event planning and entertainment for on-property weddings, parties, celebrations or events; • Charter a private “hop on/hop off” swim and sand boating tour around the island, complete with crew, music and signature cocktails; • Host a private Chef’s cooking class in the Villa’s gourmet kitchen with the island’s top Chef(s); • Organize off-property island activities, ranging from kite surfing to tiger boating to historical tours

with a museum visit to shopping island wide to golfing to a culinary “food crawl”; • Arrange on-property spa services and yoga; and, Equip and prepare guests for privately guided Hiking and Caving tours at the Villa’s nearby Katouche Estate, Anguilla’s Rainforest with the Villa’s seasoned local expert. In the wake of Hurricane Irma’s devastation, Mrs. Gumbs-Connor also founded and runs the Pure Anguilla Foundation, dedicated to advancing education, sports, health, justice and conflict resolution, relieving poverty. One of its first projects is “Return to Happiness,” in partnership with UNICEF, to help alleviate the trauma of the hurricanes to children of the island.

by on-island partners to cover any cancellations made prior to arrival and compensation if vacation time is cut short due to inclement weather during a Cayman Islands getaway. The Worry Free Guarantee includes a full refund of accommodation fees at participating hotels, condos and villas island-wide, with a maximum one-night penalty at most for cancellations made up to 48 hours prior to check-in as soon as a hurricane watch is issued by authorities. Additionally, many properties on-island are offering a free replacement stay throughout the summer months, allowing guests to rebook for the same duration as the initially-booked stay, regardless of how many days were affected by a hurricane or storm. An array of hotels, condominiums and villas across Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman are participating in the Worry Free Hurricane Guarantee.

Enjoying what’s perfectly delightful about Summer! BY CLAIRE LYNCH Summer is upon us and it’s a great time to enjoy some nice weather and explore our Long Island beaches. After a day’s work I like to go swimming in either the ocean or a pool and I get recharged from this summertime recreation. Like many people I have the chance to do some different things and I take that opportunity before fall comes knocking once again. Here are some great things about summer.

A Magical Summer’s Thunderstorm

A friend and I listened to a summer’s storm along with my niece’s three sons recently. Shortly before the storm began I ordered an extra-large veggie pizza and drove to pick it up. When it was lunchtime I poured five cups of iced tea and gave everyone some slices of pizza. I started to hear some rumbles of thunder off in the distance. The wind picked up, the air cooled a bit and sure enough the thunder got louder. Occasionally we saw lightning. The lightning became pitchforks and my youngest nephew, Alex, who’s 4, became frightened. I assured him that we were safe inside and that everything would be all right. I quickly closed and locked the windows. We then saw

sheets of rain pouring down the windows and overflowing the gutters. I didn’t let on to the kids but I had never seen the gutters so overwhelmed. I told Chuck, 9, Danny, 7 and Alex that sometimes we lose electricity – not always but occasionally and their eyes grew wide at the prospect of having to use flashlights and candles to see and get around later on, after dinner, when it gets dark. They haven’t had to do that often in their own home. The rain fell heavily for a couple of hours – enough to flood roads and almost bring things to a halt traffic-wise – then slowly it began to taper off. We didn’t need the flashlights and candles after all – or the transistor radio that I pulled out to show them - and their sleepover at my home became pretty routine. Their parents had gone to see a Broadway show and were getting home late that night so I had the chance to visit with my niece’s three boys and yes, to tell them some ghost stories. I tried to keep the ghost stories tame since Alex had already been frightened by the lightning. The whole day was pretty magical, between the midsummer’s storm that suddenly came along and the chance to hang out with some of my favorite relatives.

Those Great Red Rocks’ Acoustics

One summer when I was in college I flew from J.F. Kennedy Int’l Airport to Denver to visit an old high school friend. Patty and her family had moved from Rockville Centre to a suburb of Denver when we were in high school. Before they left for Colorado, Patty had asked me to visit her family and I had promised to go. My parents dropped me off at JFK and I flew west to the “Centennial State” which was called that because Colorado was admitted to the Union 100 years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Additionally, it is often called the “Colorful State” because of its magnificent scenery of mountains, rivers and plains. I had a reunion with Patty, her parents and her four brothers and sisters. We played tennis at a nearby school even though I had heard about altitude sickness - people warned me that there is less oxygen in the air due to Colorado’s high altitude. Colorado has the highest average elevation of any of the states. And we saw a Judy Collins concert in the open-air Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, CO, which is 10 miles west of Denver and we had a great time. I am sure that at one point or another in the concert

Collins sang “Both Sides Now” (written by the Canadian singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell) in that strong, clear voice of hers. The Red Rocks Amphitheatre acoustics were great. Part of the lyrics go: “Rows and flows of angel hair And ice cream castles in the air And feather canyons everywhere I’ve looked at clouds that way …” My two-week vacation in Colorado was fun and one thing I remember is flying west on a glorious day in New York City where the August temperature was moderate, the humidity was low and the pilot expertly raised the jet above the fluffy cumulus clouds. It was a perfect flight.

Oh, the People & Dogs You’ll Meet!

My friend and I were flying from LaGuardia Airport to Myrtle Beach, SC, last July and as we sat at the gate waiting to board the plane, we saw a middle-aged woman go by with a cute dog in tow. The Shih Tzu was in a piece of luggage on wheels that had an opening at the top for the dog to stick its head out. The woman stopped at our gate and sat down to wait for the plane to arrive in New York and get ready See page D6

Widows Must Sign Up for Benefits in Person BY TOM MARGENAU

Q: I think you made an error in a recent column. You said anyone can file for Social Security benefits online. But when I tried to file for widow’s benefits online, I learned that I could not do that. Were you wrong? A: Yes, I was. I checked, and sure enough, a widow must file a claim in person either by phone or at her local Social Security office. I’m not sure if that has always been the case, or if it was a recent change. I’m guessing the latter because the Social Security Administration just got its hands slapped by the agency’s own Inspector General. He conducted an audit and discovered that SSA was not doing a good enough job of explaining the options a widow has when she signs up for Social Security benefits. And therein lies a story. But before I tell that story, I must make three things clear. First, these same rules would apply to a man eligible for widower’s benefits. But because 95 percent of all benefits paid to surviving spouses go to women, and because I don’t want to muddy up my column with a lot of “he/she” and “him/her” pronouns, I’m going to address this column to women and widows. Second, the options I am going to discuss today only apply to a woman who has worked outside the home and who has earned her own Social Security retirement benefit. And third, these options will only work for a woman who becomes a widow before her full retirement age (currently age 66). Having said all that, I will have a message for other widows at the end of today’s column. As a general rule, if you file for reduced benefits, that benefit will remain reduced for the rest of your life. And a corollary rule says this: You usually cannot take reduced benefits on one record and later switch to higher benefits on another record. But those rules do not apply to widows. A woman could start out taking reduced retirement benefits on her own record and later (usually at age 66) switch to full widow’s benefits on her husband’s Social Security account. Or she could do the reverse: She could begin with reduced widow’s benefits and later change over to full retirement benefits. Let’s follow some examples. Mary is 61 years old when her husband dies. Although she is now retired, she had worked much of her life. Her own full retirement benefit is $1,850. Her husband’s full rate is $2,000. Mary could file for reduced widow’s benefits. At age 61, she would be due roughly 77 percent of her husband’s benefit, or $1,540 per month. She could receive that until age 66, when she could switch to 100 percent of her benefit, or $1,850. Or she could wait

until age 70 to make the change, at which point she would get 132 percent of her retirement rate, or about $2,440. The latter sounds like a pretty attractive choice. And just to make it clear, Mary would have another option. If she waits until she is 62 years old, she could file for reduced retirement benefits first. She would get 75 percent of her $1,850 benefit, or $1,480. Then at age 66, she could switch to 100 percent widow’s benefits, or $2,000 monthly. (Unlike the retirement program, there is no bonus paid to widows if they delay filing beyond age 66.) Now let me give a more realistic example. Many working women are still at their jobs into their 60s and even beyond. So let’s look at Ann. She is 64 and still working full time. Her husband died several years ago. When he died, she filed for and received the little $255 one-time death benefit, but she wasn’t due any monthly widow’s benefits because she was still working. Let’s say her own full (age 66) retirement benefit would be $2,200. Her husband’s full benefit would have been $2,500. Once Ann reaches age 66, her earnings no longer affect her Social Security eligibility. So at that point, Ann should file for widow’s benefits. She would get $2,500 per month. Then when she turns 70, she could switch to 132 percent of her retirement rate, or about $2,900. As I said earlier, all of these switching back and forth between benefit rules apply to women who become widows in their 60s or earlier. But the vast majority of women (and most of those reading this column) become widows later in life -- in their 70s, 80s and beyond. Women who become widows at those ages don’t have to worry about any of the options discussed today. When their husband dies, they simply will be switched to widow’s benefits on his record -- assuming he was getting higher benefits. Let’s look at more examples. Lucia was 81 years old when her 84-year-old husband, Alfredo, died. He was getting $2,150 per month and she was getting $1,640. Now that Alfredo is gone, she will keep getting her own $1,640, and then she will get an additional $510 in widow’s benefits to take her up to Alfredo’s $2,150 level. Lucia would have to file a claim for widow’s benefits -- and she would have to do it via phone by calling SSA at 800-772-1213. Or if she prefers, she could call the same number and make an appointment to file a widow’s claim in person at her local Social Security office. By the way, Lucia would have to provide a certified copy of her marriage certificate (as well as the death certificate) as part of the application process. Now let’s look at another 81-year-old widow -- Barbara. When her husband, Frank, died, she was simply and auto-

matically converted to widow’s benefits once she called SSA to report the death and supplied them with proof of death. Why is that? Because Barbara was getting only a dependent wife’s benefit on Frank’s account before he died. In other words, she didn’t have her own Social Security account. Because she has no claim of her own, and because she would have already had to supply a marriage certificate when she first applied for

spousal benefits many years ago, SSA already has all the information they would need to know she is eligible for widow’s benefits. They simply push a few buttons and the conversion from wife’s to widow’s benefits is complete. If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has the answer.

Enjoying what’s perfectly delightful about Summer! C ontinued from page D3 for its trip down south. It was obvious to us that she also was flying to Myrtle Beach. We are animal lovers so we got talking to her and it turns out that three times a year they fly to Myrtle Beach to visit the woman’s sister. She has three small dogs and the sister’s friend has two small dogs so all six small dogs get to romp around the back yard and they have a ball. Her dog, Bella, who is white with tan spots all over, is four years old and who weighs about nine pounds, definitely knows the “airport drill.” The woman said that when she sees the luggage coming out at home in Manhattan Bella gets very excited and jumps around in circles. It means that it’s vacation time in Myrtle Beach where they all can relax and have a good time.

Light Salads for Dinner

My family and I like having meat and potatoes for dinner but with the warm weather upon us my sister, Susan, reminded me that having a big cold salad for dinner a few times a week works. I agreed and recently got busy. I get a big glass bowl and put in some handfuls of fresh spinach that I have rinsed in cold water. I add whatever I can find in my refrigerator - cooked pieces of chicken, one or two hard boiled eggs, sliced tomatoes, fresh red onions, broccoli, carrots, mushrooms, some chunks of cheddar or American cheese, cauliflower, some slices of red, green and/or yellow bell peppers, avocado slices and occasionally, bacon. I toss in a handful of croutons for their crunch and top it all off with whatever salad dressing I like - French, Italian,

Russian, etc. I always keep some bags of broccoli and cauliflower in the freezer so if I don’t happen to have any fresh items in the house I just defrost a few cups full of them ahead of time and add them to my bowl. Not everything has to go in, of course. I add what I want and try something slightly different the next time. I shake in a little bit of black pepper. Then I mix it thoroughly - from the bottom of the bowl up - and the colorful vegetables look tantalizing. When the days are hot a nice cold salad hits the spot. It’s easy to make and preparing this dinner doesn’t heat up the kitchen or my house when the temperature soars. Adding some glasses of freshly prepared iced tea for my family members and me, we are all set.

Seeing Things Differently

One thing I like doing from time to time is hanging out in my back yard hammock. When the weather is nice, when I lie horizontally and see the blue skies of summer and watch the cumulus clouds drifting by, it makes me feel as if I haven’t got a care in the world. It makes my to-do list aka as my “list of responsibilities” look approachable, surmountable. It makes everything else I have to do in the days and the weeks ahead seem possible. The same thing happens whenever I float face up in the ocean or a pool. I feel as if time has stopped and I’m floating on air when actually I’m floating on water and as I relax the whole world in front of me seems to drift right on by. This mental yoga helps me to unwind, to recharge and to put things into perspective and when I’m ready to rejoin the world again nothing seems as challenging as it did before I walked up to that hammock or that ocean or that brilliant blue pool.

It was first recorded by Louis Armstrong when he was 66 years old and released in 1967 as a single which topped the pop charts in the United Kingdom. Louis Armstrong’s recording was inducted in the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999. The New Orleans native lived in a modest, two-story red brick home in Corona, Queens, with his wife, Lucille, for the last three decades of his life which is now the Louis Armstrong House Museum. The song was initially offered to Tony Bennett, who turned it down. Then it was offered to Louis Armstrong. He had a gravelly or raspy voice and a sensitive delivery. Over the years many other artists have sung this song. It’s poignant and it’s optimistic. Whenever I think of summer I automatically think of this song because it’s my favorite summertime song. Some of the words go: “I see trees of green, red roses too I see them bloom for me and you And I think to myself what a wonderful world I see skies of blue and clouds of white The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night And I think to myself what a wonderful world The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky Are also on the faces of people going by I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do …”

Liking Leisure Time

with relatives and friends. On summer vacation I want to kick back my sheets and leave my bed unmade all day long. I want to decide at the last minute whether I’ll have toast, cereal or scrambled eggs for breakfast. If I feel like hitting a specialty coffee shop every day and ordering whatever I want - a mocha, hazelnut, vanilla or caramel-flavored iced coffee, blended into a delicious smoothie - I will. I want to cast my pretty watch aside and not think about clocks or whatever time it might happen to be, at least until the summer is over. If I have the inclination and the time, I’ll jump into a pool or the chilly ocean and feel their refreshing waves wash over me. Perhaps best of all, I think I’ll stay up late every night and watch reruns of “Seinfeld,” laughing at all of the punchlines and feeling as if I don’t have a care in the world. There is something deliciously lazy about summer, about enjoying every single minute and about not having to account for very much. What reminds me of being a kid in the summer is just that - feeling carefree, unencumbered and so unabashedly unaccountable. This is the one season that makes me feel so free and so relaxed. By September I feel renewed, recharged and reinvigorated. I hope that these summer days drag on slowly so I can savor each and every one of them. Author Regina Brett once wrote about this fine season: “Summer is the annual permission slip to be lazy. To do nothing and have it count for something. To lie in the grass and count the stars. To sit on a branch and study the clouds.

It’s my time to make some memories

Caribbean Destinations: Best Way to Help Rebuild is Simply to Come, Enjoy Continued from page D5 lodging and event access tickets. For more information visit the new website www.martinique-regatta.com Registration is open until October 17th, 2018 www.martinique-regatta. com/index.php/en/register/ American Airlines operates nonstop from Miami to Martinique year-round, increasing from one flight weekly up to six times weekly in high season. Norwegian Air is increasing US winter seasonal routes to Martinique: Fort Lauderdale to Martinique service will resume on October 31 with four flights weekly (increased from three flights weekly last year); New York-JFK to Martinique

service will resume on October 28, 2018, with six flights, two flights more than the previous season. ‘The Rhythm Never Stops’ Caribbean tourism interests are optimistic that strong consumer demand for a Caribbean travel experience and increased tourism investments in hotels and airport improvements bode well for the future of tourism, which is exceeding 2018 expectations despite the fact that some hotels in six of the Caribbean’s 32 major destinations are still in rebuilding mode following last year’s hurricanes. “A growing number of travelers are understanding that the Caribbean is a vast region comprising many diverse destinations all rich in natural

beauty but each distinct in its history, music, culture, food and welcoming hospitality,” said Frank Comito, CEO and Director General of the Caribbean Hotel and Tourism Association (CHTA). “Just like a winter blizzard may affect the northeastern United States while people are sunbathing on Miami Beach, a weather incident in one part of the Caribbean does not affect the overwhelming majority of the Caribbean.” That includes the summer season, which is when hurricanes are most frequent. “Over the years, we have done number of things in the region to even out seasonality – gone are the days when seasonality curves. There are

festivals and events inserted into nonwinter to give extra value. Weather events are a fact of life. “The thing about a hurricane is that it doesn’t surprise you – there is advance notification – people can adjust plans and we can also.” The Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO) and Caribbean Hotel & Tourism Association (CHTA) are launching a regional tourism marketing campaign themed, “The Rhythm Never Stops” – a theme that is adaptable for each individual destination to define “rhythm,” to express the spirit, energy and resilience of destinations, while offering a nod to fostering year-round travel and evening out seasonality. The campaign, initially funded with

$400,000, is being supported by private sector partners including Mastercard, Marriott and some airlines, with more partners being sought. “But we are going to use ‘The Rhythm Never Stops’ in lots different ways so it will have all kinds of meaning to it,” Dinosio D’Aguilar, chairman of the Caribbean Tourism Organization, said at a media briefing in June.”In the Bahamas, the rhythm never stops,

in Jamaica the rhythm never stops, in Martinique and in Grenada. And in each of the countries will have its own interpretation of its story and its rhythm and its never-stopness. “Each country will have own story about its rhythm. The campaign is intended to benefit the entire regionthat we are open for business – though affected countries coming back at different rates. We can’t always wait for

everything dotted before people come back. The first priority is to protect safety, but how many times do you see a ‘Pardon us while we renovate’ sign? The islands are in various stages (of rebuilding) but the rest of the Caribbean is vibrant.” _____________________________ © 2018 Travel Features Syndicate, a division of Workstyles, Inc. All rights

7 Ways to Turn a Boring Side Salad into a Main Dish Summer Salad BY MARY HUNT

If there’s one food that signals the arrival of summer, it’s gotta be salad. Backyard gardens everywhere are bursting with beautiful tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini and basil. But the same warm sun that nudges produce to perfection can also zap all the energy from the average cook. That’s why we love big, lovely summer salads. We can step away from the hot stove to eat well any night of the week. And now the problem: How? Where’s the recipe? Truth be told, there really aren’t a lot of specific recipes for entree-worthy salads. What we need is a formula of easy-to-remember yet specific steps that will let us use what we have already to create hearty summer meals that even our pickiest eaters will enjoy. START WITH A BIG BOWL. Depending on how many you’ll be serving, this may need to be really big. Because salad ingredients generally have low-energy density and high water content, you’re going to lean on volume to fill and satisfy even the hungriest member of the family. GET CREATIVE WITH THE GREENS. Sticking to the basics -- iceberg, butterhead, leaf, romaine -- is an easy fallback but a rut some of us get stuck in. Adding kale, spinach, arugula and any of the hybrids you’ll find at farmers markets and your own backyard garden will give you a lot of bang for your buck. LOAD IN THE PROTEIN. Salad works with almost every type of protein. A big main dish salad is the perfect place for sliced and cut up pieces of steak, chicken, shrimp, beans, eggs and cheese. Think of those small portions of protein you brought home from a restaurant or what was leftover from last night’s barbecue. Instead of trying to reheat, repurpose it into tonight’s salad. ADD CARBS. Healthy carbohydrates are good for you and help to bring variety and balance to a big main dish salad. They

should account for about one-third of a well-balanced big salad. Carbs like cooked whole-grain noodles, couscous, rice, quinoa and sweet potato are super filling and quickly satisfying. FILL IN WITH FRUITS AND VEGGIES.

Here’s the perfect place for strawberries, slices of apple or mango. Add nutrient-dense items you have like corn, broccoli, pumpkin, beets, green beans and squash. Load in zucchini, cucumbers, tomatoes -- just about anything you have on hand is a likely candidate here. GO NUTS. A great salad has a little crunch, and nuts do that very well. Add a handful of almonds, walnuts, pecans, macadamia nuts or cashews to your salad. Worried about too much fat? Don’t be. According to my personal physician, unsaturated fats like the ones found in nuts can actually help lower cholesterol, reduce the risk of heart disease and help to satisfy your hunger. DRESS IT UP. Bottled dressings are fine if that’s what you have and prefer. Or try this healthy homemade vinaigrette that is so easy to make and absolutely fabulous! HOMEMADE VINAIGRETTE 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic 3 tablespoons champagne vinegar Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 1/2 cup good olive oil 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 freshly ground black pepper In a small bowl, whisk together the mustard, garlic, vinegar, salt and pepper. While whisking, slowly add the olive oil until the vinaigrette is incorporated. This recipe will dress six to eight side salads or one big entree salad for four.
