Police arrest couple in bicyclist robbery

Dion Jude Hutchings

Nassau County Police arrested a couple for allegedly robbing a bicycle rider in Plainview on August 29th. According to detectives, patrol officers responded to 911 call for a robbery that had just occurred in the vicinity of Lindsay Street and Sally Lane. The male victim, 29, was riding his bicycle eastbound on Sally Lane and was struck by a 2011 Hyundai Sonata travel-

ing in the same direction. The victim was knocked off the bicycle and his wallet fell out of his pocket, landing on the ground. The male driver allegedly exited the vehicle, picked up the victim’s wallet and removed an undisclosed amount of U.S. currency. The driver and female passenger entered the vehicle and fled westbound on Sally Lane. A short time later, See page 20

Summer Sassone

After a full summer of teaching campers hundreds of ways to unwind and find their creative, artistic and athletic passions, a leading Long Island summer camp plans on making a splash in Syosset on the very first day of fall. Crestwood Country Day Camp and School will be the official “fun zone” sponsors of the 2018 Syosset Street Fair, which makes its return to the Jackson Avenue downtown after a year off on Sunday, September 23 from 10 a.m. through 5 p.m. Last week Associate Director Matt Pritikin spoke with the Syosset Advance and Jericho Syosset News Journal about the exciting opportunity to be a big part of Street Fair and introduce Crestwood to community members. The partnership with the Syosset Woodbury Chamber of Commerce for Street Fair marks the first time Crestwood joined in a collaboration of local Syosset business leaders. This year Crestwood’s summer camp ran during eight consecutive weeks, from June 25 through August 17. Every day in summer sessions, 900 kids ages “3 through teens” from Jericho, Syosset, Woodbury, Plainview, Melville, Old Westbury, Dix Hills, Bethpage and Merrick attend the camps, held at an 18-acre facility on Round Swamp Road in Melville. Lunch is provided each day for campers with a salad bar and fresh fruits, and snacks are given out twice a day. Crestwood has seven heated swimming pools and includes towel service for campers, so parents need not worry about dirty laundry coming home. Choices of sports to play at the camp range from baseball, basketball, lacrosse, tennis, soccer and a high-ropes adventure course with a zipline and rock climbing wall. Crestwood recently built its own American Ninja Warrior course and it was a hit this summer. Crestwood offers a Mommy and Me class for children 18 months old and up, as well as pre-K sessions. Kindergarten-age and up come to camp five days a week and once children are in seventh grade, they become eligible See page 20

Bestselling author visits Syosset Public Library the Blue, are available at the library. For support of the summer reading program, thanks go to the HarperCollins Library Marketing Team, the Macmillan Library Marketing Team, Sourcebooks, and the Workman Publishing Library Marketing Team for their generous donation of books; authors Susan Henderson and Brenda Janowitz; and the following local businesses:

Members of the Adult Summer Reading Club pose with Long Island author Susan Henderson (third from left) and copies of her new book, A Flicker of Old Dreams, during the Syosset Public Library's Ninth Annual Adult Summer Reading Wrap-Up Party. Bestselling author and Long Island resident Susan Henderson recently visited the Syosset Public Library to share stories about her life and writing with nearly 90 Adult Summer Reading club members at the library’s ninth annual Adult Summer Reading Wrap-Up Party. Ms. Henderson, who grew up in Virginia and has roots that extend to her father’s hometown in rural Montana, focused largely on her 2018 novel A Flicker of Old Dreams. The story centers on a small Midwestern town and its residents’ struggle to let go of a failing way of life. Writing the novel was an opportunity to explore a lifestyle very different from the suburban lifestyle familiar to so many today. The 184 patrons who joined this year’s club read 1,285 books during a 10-week period, and there were many reading incentives. “2018 has been a record-breaking summer, having reg-

istered the highest number of patrons to ever participate in the program, and we awarded the largest amount of prizes yet,” said Jackie Ranaldo, head of the Readers’ Services Department, which organized the event. “We are incredibly fortunate to have such an active and engaged community as Syosset.” For each book read, members submitted a book review and received a raffle ticket. Each week, three winners were awarded a choice of several prizes. In addition, all club members who read at least five titles during the summer received a free book to add to their collections. Finally, 15 club members won signed copies of Ms. Henderson’s novel at the wrap-up party, and an additional 129 prizes were awarded— many generously donated by Syosset and Woodbury businesses.

Free Narcan training for the community In an effort to educate community members about the growing opioid crisis and equip them with tools to combat this growing epidemic, NYU Winthrop Hospital is offering a free educational program on Thursday, September 20th, 2018, at 7PM at the Hospital’s Research and Academic Center, 101 Mineola Boulevard, Room G-018, Mineola. The informative “Save a Life” program will include a complimentary training session of how to administer the lifesaving antidote Narcan™ in the event of an emergency. The session is open to all members of the community; no professional medical experience is required. Free Narcan kits (for emergency overdose rescue use), are available to those who pre-register for the event. Narcan (naloxone) is an opiate antidote, for opioids such as heroin and prescription pain medicine such as mor-

phine, codeine, and oxycodone. It is a prescription nasal spray that blocks the effects of opioids and reverses an overdose. Trained individuals are allowed to possess and administer Narcan to a person having an overdose. Research has shown that with basic training, non-medical professionals such as friends, family members, or concerned bystanders can administer the lifesaving antidote. David Neubert, MD, board-certified Emergency Department physician at NYU Winthrop, will lead the training; registered nurses will assist with the instruction. Although Narcan has been around for several decades, we are hearing more about it now because of the opioid crisis. According to Dr. Neubert, “Opioid overdoses are rapidly becoming the most common cause of fatal overdose in the U.S.” Narcan can be adminis-

trated by anyone and is being issued to civilian responders. “It’s an extension of similar initiatives, such as CPR education, placement of automated external defibrillators (AEDS) in public locations, and other programs that have been shown to save lives by rapid intervention by trained civilians,” says Dr. Neubert. The program will begin promptly at 7PM; registration begins at 6:45PM. Parking is available at the 120 Mineola Boulevard garage, entrance on First Street. Please drive to the third level of the garage to park and enter the 120 building via the walkway. Take the elevator down to the first floor, exit the building, and cross the street to the Research & Academic Center. Space is limited and pre-registration is required. To register, please email Lila. Hageman-Sheehan@nyulangone.org

A Day in Nantucket: In Search of Maria Mitchell BY KAREN RUBIN TRAVEL FEATURES SYNDICATE GOINGPLACESFARANDNEAR.COM Nantucket is dramatic, of course, because of the whaling industry – an invention that revolutionized life by bringing light into winter’s darkness and what the oil meant to enabling the Industrial Revolution. We’ve arrived at this tiny island, just 45 square miles some 30 miles out to sea, on the Blount Small Ship Adventures’ New England Island cruise aboard the Grand Caribe. It is our last stop in the week-long voyage. For me, most fascinating part of our all-too-short visit to Nantucket is being introduced to Maria Mitchell – we are shown important sites associated with her on Gail’s island tour and at the Nantucket Whaling Museum. I am so inspired that I follow a self-guided walking tour that is delightful to give structure to exploring the town. I meet her again in a storefront display dedicated to her, and then follow the Maria Mitchell Foundation sites: the Nantucket Atheneum (she became the first librarian, at age 18); the Pacific Bank where her father was president; the Unitarian Universalist Church which she joined after leaving the Quakers; Mitchell’s House where she was born, the Observatory built after her death in 1908 and the natural history museum operated by the Maria Mitchell Foundation

This leads me to the Quaker Meeting House where I have a most unexpected – and fascinating - discussion of Quaker religion sitting in a pew.

“Quakers were the social cement of the community.” You couldn’t do business without being Quaker, but you could pretend to be Quaker. “Quakers were seen as activists,

They refused to pay taxes to the church or accept authority, or take oaths (for this reason, they couldn’t become doctors or lawyers). It went counter to the control mandated by the Puritans, Anglicans. “They would show up naked at an Anglican Church,” she tells me, which sparks a thought: Why isn’t Quakerism being revived today? It seems more consistent with modern-day approaches to organized religion. Most heretical of all: they did not require those they sought to convert to accept Jesus. “They did not require personal knowledge or acceptance of Jesus, just to find God through Inner Light.” “The Quakers were hanged, branded, their noses split.” But they found safe haven in Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard, because in 1661, Charles II ordered that all trials of Quakers had to take place in England. “They were safe in America since they wouldn’t be shipped back to England.” And over time, the Quakers toned down the “dangerous” rhetoric. “They were excellent businessmen. They valued education (to this day): boys were educated to 13 or 14 when

they were expected to join the whaling ships; but girls were educated to 17 or 18, so they had more formalized education than men.” The women, therefore, were left in charge of home, businesses and community when the men left for their whaling voyages. Centre Street was nicknamed Petticoat Row because women owned all the businesses. On the other hand, Maria Mitchell must have stepped over the line, because in 1843, even though her father was an elder, her “skepticism and outspokenness resulted in her leaving Quaker Meeting and being ‘written out’ by the Society.” The decline of Quakers in Nantucket followed the decline of the whaling business. A great fire in 1846 destroyed much of Nantucket’s infrastructure and the livelihoods of 8 out of 10 Nantucketers. When gold was found in California, in 1849, scores of whaling ships sailed for San Francisco and were sunk in the harbor there rather than return; when petroleum was discovered in Pennsylvania in 1859 as a cheaper, easier fuel, scores of Nantucketers went there. The ships, which had to be built bigger and bigger for the longer journeys, had trouble coming into Nantucket’s harbor because of a build-up of silt. Then the Civil War came – more than 300 Nantucket men joined the Union and 73 were killed; the whaling ships were easy targets for the

Confederates. The last whaling ship sailed from Nantucket in 1869. “By that point, Nantucket well out of picture,” the “Nantucket” documentary notes. “The city in the middle of the ocean was evacuated. It went from a population of 10,000 to 3000 in a matter of decades, like a sleeping beauty castle, waiting 100 years with only the memories of whaling.” Now, the docent says, there is only one full-time Nantucket resident who is Quaker. “We get 5 to 8 people for Sunday meeting.” During that time, people sit and meditate; they do not even read a Bible.

Don’t Listen to Your Friends About Social Security BY TOM MARGENAU

I get dozens of emails each week from people who are getting advice from friends and neighbors about Social Security. And so often, what they hear from these probably well-intentioned folks is wrong. I’ve saved up some examples and will share them with you today. Q: I took my Social Security at 62 and so did my husband. We are now in our early 70s. I have so many friends who tell me that they plan to take spousal benefits at 62 and then at 66, switch to full benefits on their own record. And they wonder why I never did this. Did I do something wrong? A: The only thing you did wrong is listen to your friends. I’m sure they are nice people, but they know absolutely nothing about Social Security. With one exception, no one can do what they claim they plan to do. You can’t take spousal benefits at 62 and then later switch to full benefits on your own Social Security account. What’s the exception? If any of your friends is a widow, she would have the option of taking reduced widow’s benefits as early as age 60. Then at 66, she can switch to 100 percent of her own retirement benefit. Or she can wait until 70 and switch to 132 percent of her own benefit. A widow’s other option would be to turn that around. Depending on the benefit amounts involved, it might be to her advantage to take reduced retirement benefits at 62 and then switch to 100 percent widow’s benefits at 66. Q: I have a friend who says that she is getting her own full benefit and she also is getting full spousal benefits on her husband’s Social Security record. But in some of your past columns, you said that a woman either gets her own benefit or her husband’s benefit, but not both. So who is right? By the way, I am not planning to sign up for Social Security until I come of age in 2020, but I am just making some plans now. A: Your friend is NOT right. No one can get full benefits on two different Social Security records at the same time. But you are not quite understanding what I was explaining in those prior columns. If a woman is due her own benefit, she always will be paid that benefit first. Then if she is due any extra benefits on her husband’s record, she will get the difference. Let’s look at an example. Say that when you turn 66, you will be due $1,000 from your own account. And then let’s further say that your husband is getting $2,600 on his record. You would be due $1,300 in spousal benefits from his account. You do not get $1,300 from him in addition to $1,000 from your own Social Security. You essentially get the

benefit that pays the higher rate. In this case, $1,300. But again, the law says you must be paid your own $1,000 first. Then you’d get an extra $300 per month from your husband’s account to take your total payments up to $1,300. Q: All my friends say I am not getting enough from Social Security. They say I should be getting half of my husband’s Social Security. But I get less than that. All of these women tell me they are getting half of their husband’s Social Security. What can I do about this? A: What you can do is stop listening to them -- at least, about Social Security. A woman get’s half of her husband’s Social Security if she waits until age 66 to claim spousal benefits. I bet you took benefits before you were 66 and that is why you are getting less than half. It might be as low as about one-third if you started your benefits at age 62. By the way, I bet not all of your friends are getting the 50 percent rate. I’ve learned over the last 45 years that more than a few people exaggerate the amount of money they get from Social Security, especially when they are talking to acquaintances. Q: I turned 65 last month, and I am still working. I never signed up for Medicare because I get full health benefit coverage from my employer. My friends at work tell me I am making a big mistake. They say I will pay a huge penalty if I delay signing up for Medicare any longer. Is this true? A: Your friends are generally right that people who do not apply for Part B Medicare at age 65 will pay a 10 percent premium penalty for each year they delay signing up. (Part B mainly covers doctor visits and lab costs.) But there is an exception for people who are still working and are covered by an employer’s health package -- like you. People like you are not required to file for Part B Medicare until they retire and lose their active employer’s health coverage. Having said that, you should sign up for Part A Medicare because it’s free. Part A covers inpatient hospital bills. Even though you probably won’t need it while you are still working, why not get it over with and apply for it? Again, it’s free. Q: I am about to turn 62. I am debating whether I should retire now and sign up for my Social Security, or wait until I am 66 to get a higher rate. My friends tell me to quit and sign up now because they say Trump has plans to cut Social Security benefits for future retirees. What have you heard about this? A: I haven’t heard of any plans the Trump administration has for Social Security. And even if he did have plans,

he can’t just make an executive decision to tamper with Social Security. Any changes to Social Security would require legislation from Congress. And there is nothing in the pipeline. So make your decision about when to start your Social Security benefits based on your answers to these kinds of questions: Do you feel like retiring? Do you want to keep working? Do you want smaller benefits for a longer period of time? Then retire and

apply for Social Security now. Or do you want higher benefits for a shorter period of time? Then wait until age 66 or even 70 to sign up for your benefits. Do you have a spouse who might be eligible for some benefits on your record? Then take that into account, too. If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has the answer.

Great Tips From Great Readers

BY MARY HUNT

I can’t think of a better day than today to reach into the mailbag and pull out a few great tips submitted by -- you guessed it -- my great (loyal, faithful, awesome) readers! PET-FRIENDLY BEDSPREAD As the owner of two cats, I finally found a wonderful bedspread with fabric durable enough to withstand the constant removal of fur and chafing of paws. Outdoor Living Tablecloths makes custom outdoor tablecloths using Sunbrella material. Following the directions for taking measurements, I ordered a custom tablecloth bedspread for my queen-size bed and have been using it for seven months. It has held up beautifully; it cleans like a dream; and for sheer long-lasting quality, I think the price is a great deal. -- Robin SAVING THE DISHWASHER I never used a rinse aid in my dishwasher, because we live in an area that doesn’t have particularly hard water and leave water spots on glassware. I learned the hard way that rinse aids (like Finish Jet-Dry) have another more important use: They help keep the dishwasher drain line running clean. I found this out from the repairman when our dishwasher wasn’t draining. The line was completely clogged. Yuck! -- Elizabeth SMELLY MICROWAVE Wipe down a smelly microwave oven with a weak solution of water and Head & Shoulders shampoo. Just fill a spray bottle with water, and add a couple of drops of the shampoo. Head & Shoulders shampoo will get the stink out of anything. Try it. -- Carol

PILLOW PROTECTORS I just read your cleaning procedure for stained pillows. Why not avoid the dirt and stains in the first place? I am aware of how disgusting pillows can become, so I buy waterproof fabric zippered pillow protectors from Walmart. They’re inexpensive, and they protect your pillows from equally disgusting dust mites. With a pillowcase on top, my pillows look brand-new. -- Rita SILICONE STENCH The easiest way to remove the odors from silicone (ice cube trays, the gasket on your Instant Pot) is to bake it. Preheat your oven to 250 degrees F (not one degree higher), and then set the clean-but-still-stinky silicone items on a sheet tray and into the oven. After about 20 minutes, give them the smell test. If there is still any trace of a lingering odor, return them to the oven for another 10 minutes. Provided these items are 100 percent silicone (that IP Gasket is, for sure), this will take care of the lingering stench of garlic and onions. -- Cate Mary invites questions, comments and tips at mary@everydaycheapskate. com, or c/o Everyday Cheapskate, 12340 Seal Beach Blvd., Suite B-416, Seal Beach, CA 90740.

How does classroom design impact learning?

Adults who think back to their time in the classroom may remember arrangements of rows of desks and industrial-looking seating. Classroom design was built around students facing the chalkboard, and teachers typically placed their desks at the front of the room to keep an eye on their students. Such arrangements have steadily been on the way out as classroom environments are changed to promote learning. According to the education resource The Professional Learning Board, different classroom arrangements have their own benefits and drawbacks. But the liberty to alter classroom layouts means teachers can experiment with what works for their teaching styles and which arrangements benefit their students. While rows may enable educators to see all students and keep them focused, students in the back may miss out and/ or lose focus. Circle arrangements work well for class discussions, enabling all students to congregate around the teacher and participate in the conversation. “Circle time” is a frequent component of pre-school and early elementary school lessons because it directs focus on the teacher and feels more intimate than laying the room out in rows. Group seating is another arrangement teachers may explore. Desks are

arranged so they form small tables. Students can work collaboratively and discuss assignments. However, maintaining focus may be challenging when students are facing other students and may be more likely to chit-chat among one another. A study involving fourth graders in Germany investigated whether certain seating arrangements promoted greater student participation. Traditional rows and a semicircular layout were studied. Children in the semicircle asked more questions, but in both layouts, children who occupied central seating locations asked more questions and participated more per lesson. Another study conducted in 2015 and published in the journal Building and Environment found that changing some elements of classroom design can increase student learning outcomes by 16 percent. Air quality, lighting and students’ sense of ownership of their classroom impacted the students’ abilities to learn more than seating arrangements,, advises the study. Giving children choices, including flexible seating options, such as bean bag chairs, mats or cushions, standing desks, sofas, or individual workstations, can help students find arrangements that are best for them. Furthermore, teachers who rearrange furniture so that classrooms

are cozy and inviting may see their students thrive. Lighting also is an important factor, particularly when glare can impact the ability to see smartboards or personal tablets, which are now widely used in classrooms. Natural light is preferred in classroom environments. In fact, students in classrooms with big windows and daylight progress more quickly in reading and math than those in dark-

ened rooms, according to a Heschong Mahone study cited in ScienceDirect. Overhead fluorescent lighting may interfere with student learning. Educators are urged to see their classrooms from students’ perspectives to evaluate how design may be impacting learning. A few easy changes can add up to big gains for students and teachers alike.

Ransomware is a form of malware (malicious software) that takes over a computer. Ransomware can lock down all operations on a computer and deny users access to their data. Computer users cannot reverse this lock down without the help of the hacker, who usually requires a ransom in return for a decryption key. The costs can range from a few hundred dollars to thousands, say IT experts. The U.S. Department of Education has warned that hackers are employing ransomware as they target schools with insufficient security. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, schools are particularly vulnerable because their security is not always up to par and they have information that’s of value to hackers, including students’ personal information. According to McAfee, more than four million ransomware variants have been detected online, a 270 percent increase since 2013, and ransomware is expected to be a continuing and significant problem for schools.

Tutoring benefits and how to find a tutor that fits

Children tend to learn at their own pace, and certain subjects may challenge them more than others. In many instances, students can benefit from working with tutors. Tutors can be very effective. Children who work with tutors and then see their grades improve may develop greater confidence and feel less anxious about going to school or taking tests.

Without intervention like tutoring, at-risk students (those who are not meeting academic standards) may not pass their classes, and some may face year-end retention or experience difficulty keeping up in the next grade. The National Tutoring Association says students at all grade levels participating in tutorial programs improve their reading performance and can achieve sig-

nificant cognitive gains. Tutoring can be the answer for students affected by inconsistent delivery of classroom content. For example, when families move, students may be forced to catch up in a new school where teachers may have different styles than students’ previous teachers. Students who have missed classroom time due to illness or injury may face similar difficulties. Sometimes children struggle because they have difficulty processing or remembering their lessons. In such instances, a fresh approach through oneon-one tutoring may be necessary. Parents and students have different tutoring options at their disposal. Some services may be offered through the school system at no extra charge. Pullout instruction during the day or before or after school might be part of such ser-

vices. Private tutors, academic coaches, peer tutors, online tutoring, and home tutoring are other options. Depending on need, budget and comfort levels, families can explore these and other options at their disposal. The NTA says families should not discount peer tutoring. Peer tutoring is a cost-effective way to improve performance. This type of tutoring also can contribute to students’ social and cognitive development. According to Care.com, which helps consumers find tutors, caretakers and babysitters, one can expect to pay an average $10 to $15 for a peer high school student tutor. Comparatively, a private tutor, whether it’s a professional teacher or a tutor hired through a service, may charge as much as $75 per hour. Parents should contact their children’s schools for information about tutoring programs. Schools typically keep lists of tutors or tutoring programs. Examine credentials and seek recommendations prior to hiring a tutor to get a feel for the person and his or her teaching philosophy. Certified tutors also can be found by visiting www.ntatutor.com. Keep in mind that it isn’t enough for the tutor to know the subject matter. He or she also has to relate to your child. According to the tutoring firm Test Prep Authority, motivation plays a key role in the success or failure of a students’ work with tutors. Motivation may be compromised if the tutor and student do not connect. Tutors also should know how to present materials in ways similar to how it is being taught in school so that lessons are in sync. Tutoring has helped many children gain confidence and succeed in school.

Children are in close contact with others at schools and daycare facilities, where germs can be easily transmitted. Children may not be as conscientious as adults in regard to the health risks associated with poor hygiene. These tips can keep students stay healthy and help prevent germs from being transported home, where they can affect other members of the family. • Hand washing is essential to good hygiene. Children should wash their hands with soap and water after using the bathroom, before eating and after playing outdoors. • Children can bring along their own tissues and use them when their noses become runny. Tissues should be promptly discarded after use. • Parents should ensure that fingernails are clean, as under the fingernails can be a breeding ground for bacteria. Clipping fingernails and regular hand washing can remove a number of germs. • Keep ill children home from school, especially if they have a fever. Kids should not return to school until they are fever- or symptom-free. • Toys and community supplies should be washed or disinfected regularly to kill germs. Cleaning classroom furniture regularly also can help establish healthy educational environments.

Warning signs of childhood vision troubles

Adults know when they are beginning to experience trouble with their vision. In such instances, men and women will book appointments with their eye doctors to determine what’s causing their problems. But whether it’s a fear or eyeglasses or simply feeling their symptoms are normal, kids might be hesitant to tell their parents about any vision problems they’re having. As a result, parents must learn to recognize certain warning signs that indicate their children are experiencing vision problems. Vision problems in youngsters can be especially problematic, as many of the lessons kids learn in school still begin on a chalkboard. The following are some potential indicators that kids might be dealing with vision problems that require medical attention. • Reading habits: Vision problems may be most noticeable when kids are reading. As youngsters learn to read, they might use their fingers to keep their place while they figure out the pronunciation of certain words. But kids eventually grow out of that habit. Kids who are still doing so long after they have learned to read may be having trouble seeing words on the page. In addition, kids who pull their reading materials very close to their eyes may be struggling to see the words. • Viewing habits: Peculiar viewing habits may also be indicative of poor vision. Kids who sit too close to the television may be struggling to see what’s on as opposed to just being overexcited to see their favorite shows. Kids who prefer to watch programs on tablets they can hold as opposed to televisions may also make that choice because it’s easier for them to see on their

tablets than on the television. In such instances, ask why they prefer tablets to television. When kids watch TV, ask them to move further away from the television. If they complain moving back makes it hard to see, book an appointment with an eye doctor. • Eye rubbing: Many kids, and even adults, rub their eyes when they are feeling fatigued. But kids who seem to rub their eyes frequently and at times of the day when they should not be tired may be experiencing vision troubles and feeling frustrated that they cannot see very well. • Eye activity: Some kids begin to close one eye when reading, watching television or attempting to read signs. That may be indicative of a refractive vision disorder, in which the eye struggles to focus, or refract, light correctly on the retina. Such problems can often be corrected with eyeglasses or contact lenses, but some refractive disorders may require surgery. • Squinting: Kids who squint a lot may be finding it difficult to focus on words on a chalkboard or even television programs. Squinting may also be brought on by a corneal abrasion. Parents who notice their youngsters are squinting should consult the child’s eye doctor to determine the cause of the problem. Vision problems can be especially harmful to children, who rely on their vision to perform their schoolwork. Parents who learn to recognize the various warning signs of vision troubles can nip problems in the bud before they have too great an impact on youngsters.

Promote healthy weight starting with school lunch Although there are a variety of theories behind the growing obesity problem plaguing North American adults and children, the most consistent findings point to caloric intake as the culprit. Here’s a simple equation to get to the root of the problem: Calories eaten > calories spent = weight gain. According to National Health Examination Surveys, adult obesity trends in the United States between 1976 and 2014 indicate the percentage of the adult population classified as obese has roughly doubled to more than 38 percent in the last three decades. Children may be learning eating habits from their parents, potentially contributing to rising obesity rates in children as well. Recent findings from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicate one in five school-aged children and young people in the United States is obese. In Canada, the Public Health Agency says roughly one in seven children is obese. Teaching children healthy eating habits starts at home and can extend to what students are given to eat while at school. The Center for Science in the Public Interest says schools across the country are working hard to improve school nutrition. Here’s how parents and school districts can help make school lunches more nutritious and delicious and lower in calories.

• Control snack intake. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says that more than one-fourth of kids’ daily caloric intake comes from snacking. Choosing smarter snacks may help reduce overeating. Good snacks can include grain products that contain 50 percent or more whole grains by weight; snacks in which the primary ingredient is a fruit, a vegetable, dairy product, or lean protein; snacks that are a combination food

that contain at least a 1⁄4 cup of fruits or vegetables; and foods that contain no more than 200 calories. • Read nutritional information. When selecting foods for school lunches, parents should read the nutritional information to make sure they know exactly what they are feeding their children. Select foods that are low in saturated fats and cholesterol and high in fiber and nutrient-rich fruits, vegetables,

grains, and legumes. • Go with water. Rethinking beverage choices can help control kids’ caloric intake. Many people don’t realize just how many calories beverages add to their daily intake. Even a six-ounce, 100-percent apple juice can include as many as 96 calories. Sodas and other soft drinks pack a hefty caloric punch. Water, seltzer and unsweetened iced tea are healthy beverage options. If milk is the go-to beverage, choose a reduced-fat version. • Introduce new foods. Children can be notoriously picky eaters, but with patience and perseverance, parents can introduce new, healthy foods at lunchtime. Yogurt, hummus and salsa are healthy and can add flavor to vegetables and fruit. When making sandwiches, exchange refined breads for whole-grain varieties. Choose lean protein sources, and go heavy on vegetables and fruits for natural fiber, which will create feelings of satiety. • Read the school menu. Let children indulge in ordering from the school menu when healthy options are featured. Urge them to try something unexpected, rather than sticking to chicken nuggets or pizza days. Healthy eating habits begin in childhood and can be initiated with school lunch.

Did you know that, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 25 million Americans, including roughly seven million children, have asthma? It’s true, and those numbers have steadily risen in recent years. Asthma is more than occasional wheezing or feeling out of breath during physical activity. Asthma is chronic and can lead to coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, fast breathing, and chest tightness, states the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. In the 21st century, people spend significant time indoors at home, school or work, and indoor air environments could be triggers for asthma. Improving indoor air quality can help people breathe clearly. The AAFA notes that the following agents can adversely affect indoor air quality, potentially triggering asthma attacks. Allergens Allergens such as mold, dust mites, pet dander and fur, and waste from insects or rodents thrive in many homes. Ensuring indoor air quality is high can cut back on the amount of allergens in the air. People with asthma can invest

in an air purifier and vacuum regularly, being sure to use a HEPA-equipped appliance. Routinely replacing HVAC system filters can help prevent allergens from blowing around the house. Also, frequent maintenance of HVAC systems will ensure they are operating safely and not contributing to poor indoor air quality. Mold can be mitigated by reducing moisture in a home. Moist environments in the kitchen and bathroom may promote mold growth. Ventilation is key to keep mold at bay. Tobacco smoke Thirdhand smoke, or THS, may be unfamiliar to many people. A 2011 report published in Environmental Health Perspectives says THS is an invisible combination of gases and particles that can cling to clothing, cushions, carpeting, and other materials long after secondhand smoke has cleared from a room. Studies have indicated that residual nicotine levels can be found in house dust where people smoke or once smoked. Studies have indicated that smoke compounds can adsorb onto surfaces and then desorb back into air over time. Keeping tobacco smoke out of a home can improve indoor air quality and personal health. VOCs Volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, are gases released from commonly used products. These can include paints and varnishes, cleaning supplies, air fresheners, new furniture, and new carpet. People with asthma may find that VOCs can trigger attacks. Airing out items, reducing usage of products that are heavily scented and choosing low- or no-VOC products can help. Making cleaning products from baking soda, vinegar and liquid oil soap also can keep indoor air quality high. Homeowners who plan to renovate their homes can consider using the appropriate specifications for HVAC systems to promote good indoor air, as well as address any other potential problems that may be compromising indoor air quality.

A Day in Nantucket: In Search of Maria Mitchell C ontinued from page D3 10-minute walk from Cisco Brewers.) The ever-shifting sandbars lurking beneath the waters around Nantucket have caused between 700 and 800 shipwrecks, making lighthouses necessary navigational aids. Besides the Sankaty Head Lighthouse which we have seen there are two others that are worthwhile visiting: Brant Point Lighthouse, standing at

the station with a light was activated in October 1784 (and destroyed by fire in 1816). The following year a stone tower was erected which stood until toppled in a storm in March 1984. The Lighthouse was rebuilt again in 1986, the stone tower made to replicate the old one, and still remains in operation today. Modern additions include solar panels to recharge the light’s batteries, and a sheet pile foundation and 5-foot thick concrete mat to help withstand erosion.

“Fun Zone” planned for Syosset Street Fair

From page 1

for the Teen Adventure program. “Kindergarten through sixth graders are on-site each day in summer with built-in trips, which for the fifth and sixth graders are more sporadic. Teen Adventure is for seventh grade and for the majority of a week they’re off campus and out-of-town -- they go to Boston, the Jersey Shore, the Poconos and all different places. Our oldest campers, Teen Travel, is eighth, ninth and tenth graders, and they are never at the camp because each day is a different trip. Some trips are as long as a week,” Pritikin said. Arts is another focus for Crestwood camps, offering kids choices from ceramics to arts and crafts as well as theatre and music. Crestwood includes S.T.E.M.-based activities such as lego competition and robotics. Although many summer camps and programs tout their academic enrichment, Crestwood aims at being the local leader in fun and entertaining activities for children. “Kids face too much pressure and everything they do needs an outcome -- why? Kids are seven and eight years old, even twelve, camp should be one of the last places left where ‘kids can just be kids.’ We want all of them to have fun while they are here. We have robotics but a lot of camps promote their S.T.E.M. programs which really aren’t certifiable, and we do not pretend that camp is about academics. Robotics and lego building, plus fine arts and ceramics and theatre are all education but they remain education through play at camp -- we focus on bringing childhood magic back through camp and we have lots of spirit at Crestwood,” Pritikin explains. Camp community spirit is build through the 900 kids’ participation in events and Olympics, Carnival Day, an archery tournament, scavenger hunts and bungee jumping. Special events include Pokemon battles, an inflatable (bounce house) day, magicians including Jester Jim, who specializes in balloon art and juggling.

Door-to-door bus transportation is part of Crestwood’s summer commitment, and Pritikin says the camp can pick up kids living anywhere on Long Island. Crestwood generally keeps a ratio of four campers to every one counselor, and 4:1 would be the highest staff ratio found among summer camps. All its counselors at the very least are entering their freshman year of college, or they are older. Crestwood Camp was established in 1956, and generations in central Long Island have grown up sending children and in some cases grandchildren to the camp. Pritikin began working for Crestwood Day Camp in the spring after a career divided between “camp life” and the corporate sector. In 2008 he earned his degree in journalism from University of Maryland-College Park. He’s a native of New Jersey, where he grew up with three older brothers. In the late 1990s, his oldest brother Andrew was a teacher and also a group leader at the local day camp where they lived, Harbor Hills Day Camp in Mendham, and the owner of the camp promoted him. Andrew eventually left teaching to work at the camp full-time and he excelled in the job. Today Andrew Pritikin is the owner of four camps, and younger brother Matt worked at these camps during his high school and college summer breaks. “When I graduated I wanted to pursue a career in the real world and get experience, so I worked for an investment bank for about four years. Then I worked in commercial real estate and the private equity side for another three years, and at age 29, I quit my job in Manhattan as I decided I was not interested in corporate America. I decided to jump back into camping and I started working at Breezemont Day Camp in Armonk, New York, where I worked for the last three years,” Pritikin said. The owners of Crestwood Day Camp, Mark Hemmerdinger and Mark Transport, recruited Pritikin to Long Island. At the moment he is still commuting from Fairfield County, Connecticut each day where he and his wife live. Both of

their families are still based in northern New Jersey, and the couple enjoys visiting several parts of the tri-state area from Long Island to Westchester. Pritikin says being integral to this year’s Street Fair is a clear example of the roots Crestwood laid down on Long Island over the many summers. Crestwood Day Camp is a member business in the Syosset Woodbury Chamber of Commerce, and it plans on being involved with the many local Nassau and western Suffolk County towns that the kids that attend are from. “This is our way to give back and serve the community that serves us essentially. We are constantly looking to partner with the local parent-teacher associations (PTA’s) and local businesses, chambers of commerce, and even large religious organizations. The Huntington Jewish Center reached out to us and wants Crestwood to collaborate on activities for their Purim festival in March 2019, and we’re already seeing the ball start rolling on that. For anything in the community that needs our support, we are more than willing to help out in the different ways that we can,” Pritikin explained. He gave an example of collaborations taking shape when he reaches out to camp counselors and staff members who may be college students living locally, attending LIU-Post, Stony Brook or Hofstra, and asking for them to set up events and activities at com-

munity gatherings such as Street Fair or large neighborhood block parties. “I generally find three or four staff members to come join with setting up arts projects or the portable Ga-ga courts kids are crazy for (like dodgeball inside a pit). Crestwood has two inflatable, blowup Ga-ga courts and at events it’s a hot topic. Then we have bounce castles -- whatever the event needs, we will supply it free of charge. Crestwood believes that it should be part of spreading goodwill and we aren’t looking to sell the product of camp. Our mission is to provide a free kids’ entertainment zone, and if parents or anyone wants to come up an ask questions about the camp or activities I will be happy to speak with them,” Pritikin said. He attended a Chamber of Commerce Street Fair planning meeting in June and noticed the great lineup of vendors, activities and sponsors involved. Crestwood will be proud to participate in support of the business community with the Kids’ Fun Zone at Street Fair: “We will have all our arts activities, bounce and inflatable castles and more running and parents will be at ease knowing their kids are enjoying themselves. Summer fun does last into September!” he said. For more information contact Crestwood Country Day Camp and School at (631) 692-6361, or visit crestwoodcountryday.com
