BACK TO SCHOOL

On Monday August 28th, excitement filled the air as the Robert Seaman Elementary School students were welcomed with open arms by their new teachers for the upcoming school year.

Jericho resident to co-host new radio show BY GARY SIMEONE

The show is called Double Vision and it features long time Jericho resident, Darlene Pergola-Apolant and her co-host, Steve Vaccaro. The radio show which will air every Friday from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on WGBB 1240 AM and 95.9 FM, is a program about everyday people.

“It’s a platform for all kinds of people, from the side hustler’s out there to those mom’s who are shuffling between work and family,” said Pergola-Apolant. The show will feature different types of people from all walks of life who are trying to make their way in the world. “The show will let people get

the word out about their particular organizations and will feature different authors and artisans. We will have a variety of topics to talk about,” said Pergola-Apolant. Commuters who are heading home from their jobs can tune into both radio stations to catch Double Vision and people can also get to See page 4

It has been a tough end to the summer with two powerful hurricanes battering the United States. Hurricane Irma has taken its toll on the southeastern states and last month, Hurricane Harvey caused widespread damage and destruction in Texas. Last Thursday, Town of Oyster Bay officials gathered with a group of local firefighters to send a truck load of supplies to aid those affected by Harvey. A press conference was held last Thursday at the Massapequa firehouse, where two trucks were loaded to the brim, ready to transport supplies such as bottled water, nonperishable food, toiletries, diapers, and other essential items. “The response has been overwhelming as far as people dropping off supplies to aid those in Texas,” said Town councilman, Lou Imbroto. “To see communities turn around to help others in need is really a great thing.” Imbroto said that the donation drive began August 30th with Island Harvest Food Bank getting the ball rolling. Since than, other companies and organizations have gotten involved, including Home Depot, Continued Care of Long Island, and Galaxie Coffee in Farmingdale. Massapequa Park Mayor Jeff Pravato, who attended the press conference, said that it was only right to give back to people in need, especially after the generosity of people from around the country who helped out Long Islanders after Superstorm Sandy. “We wanted to help those in the great state of Texas who are going through a tough time recovering from the hurricane,” said Pravato. He said that he has received an outpouring of support from residents who have been dropping off supplies to Village Hall, and has even had a woman stop by his house to donate items. “I had a woman stop by with over $250 in supplies to help those in Texas.” The dropoff points for the items included Oyster Bay Town Hall North and South, the TOB Hicksville Athletic Center, TOB Ice Skating Rink in Bethpage, Massapequa Park Village Hall, and Home Depot in Syosset. Items were also dropped off at multiple Housing Authority locations throughout the County. On Monday, the Town agreed to extend its partnership with the Island Harvest organization for Hurricane Irma Relief Donations.

Town seeks donations for hurricane relief efforts Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and Councilman Louis Imbroto announced today that the Town will continue its partnership with Long Island’s largest hunger relief organization, Island Harvest Food Bank, to collect food and supplies to support the urgent relief efforts for the victims of Hurricane Irma, the second consecutive catastrophic storm to hit our nation in recent weeks. “Hurricane Irma made landfall in Florida as a Category 3 hurricane, forcing thousands of people to seek food and temporary shelter, as the storm, which grew to be the strongest ever recorded in the Atlantic Ocean, continued to deliver unprecedented amounts of rain and high winds in the impacted area,” said Supervisor Saladino. “I’m amazed and awed by the response of our Town residents over the past few weeks as we’ve worked to support the recent victims of Hurricane Harvey. Hurricane Irma represents another opportunity for us to help our fellow Americans endure and overcome, and I urge everyone to donate what they can today.” Residents may drop off relief items beginning Tuesday, September 12th, at the following locations, during normal business hours, where residents will find collection boxes: • Oyster Bay Town Hall North, 54 Audrey Ave., Oyster Bay, NY, 11771 • Oyster Bay Town Hall South, 977 Hicksville Rd., Massapequa, NY, 11758 • Town of Oyster Bay Hicksville Athletic Center, 167 S.

The first few months of President Donald Trump’s tenure have been marked with more controversy than the beginning of any presidential term in my lifetime. The contrast is not just with leaders like Barack Obama, who generally had a supportive press and was not challenged by large (and overwhelmingly peaceful) Tea Party demonstrators until the fall of 2009, but even the beginning of Richard M. Nixon’s tumultuous presidency that began in January 1969 during the Vietnam War. While President Nixon was a polarizing figure, there were no massive demonstrations against his presidency during the week of his inauguration; the first major protests, the relatively peaceful “moratorium” demonstrations against the war, did not occur until October and November 1969. Mr. Nixon was not a favorite of the press (his vice president, Spiro Agnew famously complained about “instant analysis” of Mr. Nixon’s speeches), but much of the really strident opposition to his presidency did not begin until 1970, triggered by such events as the invasion of Cambodia and the killing by the Ohio National Guard of student demonstrators at Kent State University. (Of course, Mr. Nixon, who was easily reelected in 1972, certainly had his supporters, whom he labeled the “silent majority”.) In Mr. Trump’s case, and absent any news background remotely resembling the Vietnam War, things have been far more contentious. There were loud and violent demonstrations even from the date of his election, small but violent protests on inauguration day, and then a huge march the day after. Much of the left, very much including the mainstream media and the entertainment industry, has seized upon the theme that Mr. Trump is not just another president and that his every action must be opposed. Not only has Mr. Trump been portrayed as ignorant about basic policy issues, as well as insensitive to concerns of ordinary people, but also as intolerant and even racist. Of course, Mr. Trump frequently fed the fires by getting into unnecessary quarrels, and speaking or Tweeting impulsively. Recently,

the events in Charlottesville, and Mr. Trump’s statements indicating that there were bad people on both sides, added to the furor, as did Mr. Trump’s demand that Congress address the constitutionally suspect DACA immigration program . Nevertheless, it could be, at long last, that some measure of normalcy is returning to Washington, perhaps initiated by a compromise Mr. Trump worked out last week with the two Democratic leaders in Congress, Senator Chuck Schumer and Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi. Basically, Mr. Trump, pretty much ignoring the counsel of Republican Congressional leaders, decided to accept a Democratic proposal to simplify the budget process by accepting a three months extension of the debt ceiling coupled with initial funding for the Hurricane Harvey cleanup. This approach easily passed Congress with bipartisan support and was signed into law by Mr. Trump. The decision to accept the deal carries risks. In short order, Congress will have to strike an agreement on the debt ceiling as well as come up with a spending bill and deal with immigration and DACA issues. And some Republicans worry that Mr. Trump, not exactly known for ideological rigor, will become too willing to accept liberal solutions and compromises. Nevertheless, the effect of reaching agreement has been salutary. (And Mr. Trump has indicated that there could be further deals.) For one thing, Mr. Trump served notice that he was not going to be reined in by the inability of GOP Congressional leaders, or badly splintered Republican caucuses, to reach agreement as he pursues his proposals. But perhaps more important, it will be more difficult for mainstream Democrats, who occasionally will be working with Mr. Trump, and who themselves will want to take some credit for legislative successes, to both cooperate with the President and portray him as completely irrational and out of the mainstream. And in this political environment, even this measure of détente is a very good thing.

In the wake of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, and with the five-year anniversary of Superstorm Sandy upon us, Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and Town Councilman Louis Imbroto will host a Hurricane Preparedness Symposium on Monday, September 18th at 7:30pm at the Massapequa Firehouse, located at 510 Hicksville Road in Massapequa. Hurricane Season runs through November 30th with peak season from mid-August to late October. The National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration forecasted an above-normal season, predicting a 70% likelihood of 14 to 19 named storms, five to nine hurricanes and two to five major hurricanes. Supervisor Saladino stated, “Long Island is no stranger to the devastating impact of Mother Nature. Hurricane Harvey reminds us of the distress we experienced during Superstorm Sandy, and this five year anniversary of the storm provides us an opportunity to recommit ourselves to hurricane preparedness. With the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration forecasting an above-normal season, I encourage residents to join us at this free Hurricane Preparedness Symposium as

every hurricane disaster has a common thread: a lack of awareness and a lack of preparation.” Employees from the Town of Oyster Bay Department of Public Safety, who were nationally-recognized by the National Hurricane Center, will present this free Hurricane Preparedness Symposium.

A Day in the Gunks: Out of the Gym, Ascending New Heights of Rock Climbing BY DAVID LEIBERMAN & LAINI MIRANDA

A day in The Gunks with High Xposure guide Bobby Ferrari: Laini tackles Pitch 1 of her first multi-pitch climb, Triple Bulges (photo by David Leiberman/Travel Features Syndicate)

As we discovered, climbing in a gym is very different from climbing a real mountain face. One of the best places in the world to learn how to climb is practically in our own backyard: the Shawgunk Mountains, affectionately nicknamed “The Gunks,” is just six miles from New Paltz and offers some of the best rock climbing in the East. The Mohonk Preserve, New York State’s largest private, nonprofit nature preserve with over 8,000 acres, owns this section of the Shawgunk Mountains and charges a $20 day-use fee for climbers (a season pass is available, also). Of the 200,000 visitors that the Preserve welcomes in a year, 80,000 are climbers who have more than 1,000 climbing routes – five linear miles of cliff face - to venture out on, with near access to parking and sanitary facilities. In the early 1950s, there may have been 50 climbers on a busy day in the Gunks. By the 1990s, that number grew to 500-800. Today, The Gunks have become a world-class climbing area, offering some of the best climbing in the eastern United States. What is more, The Gunks offer particularly friendly terrain for people (like us) who have never climbed real rock faces before. The vertical cliffs and their overhangs create a wide variety of high-quality climbs of varying levels of difficulty. The distinctive, stark, white cliffs of the Gunks are as tough as they look – with sharp angles testing your skill and with quartz pebbles and See page D2

A Day in the Gunks: Out of the Gym, Ascending New Heights of Rock Climbing

Continued from page D1 deep fissures providing multiple holds. It’s also an ideal place to climb safety, with some of the best-trained, vertical rescue teams in the northeastern United States. Indeed, guide companies have to be registered with Mohonk Preserve. In collaboration with climbing guides and groups, the Preserve regularly hosts climbing clinics. And so, for our first climbing venture, we went out with with Bobby Ferrari of High Xposure Adventures ($350 for two for a full day program, 9 am to 4:30 pm). The conditions were ideal: bright sun and cool temperatures for a summer’s day. High Xposure was founded in 1974, and has been guiding rock and ice climbing trips in the Gunks and Catskills Mountans for more than 40 years. Its accreditation with American Mountain Guides Association (AMGA) dates back to 1986, when the accreditation program was established. High Xposure works with climbers of all abilities and experience -

from total beginners, introducing them to outdoor rock climbing, to avid climbers visiting the Gunks from other regions and interested in climbing the Gunks classic routes. The company also organizes group climbing trips corporate outings, family retreats, adventure groups. “We have extensive experience working with kids - during school breaks, we guide rock climbing outings for summer camps and boy scout groups.” High Xposure offers a wide range of climbing programs - rock climbing techniques, rope management and anchors, multi-pitch, and lead climbing. It was an ideal program for us to make the transition from climbing in a gym to climbing the real thing. The list of registered guide companies includes: Alpine Endeavors (845) 658-3094, alpineendeavors.com Alpine Logic (207) 949-1736, alpinelogic.com Eastern Mountain Sports (EMS) (800) 310-4504, emsclimb.com High Xposure Adventures (800) 777-

It is open to the public 365 days a year. (You can join online now, or you can buy a day pass or membership at a trailhead or at the Visitor Center.) Here is more helpful info from the Preserve’s website: Be aware that you climb at your own risk on the Preserve, which isn’t responsible for the condition of the cliffs, climbing protection, climber behavior, or training or supervising climbs. For your safety, read the Preserve’s Climbing Policy. Help protect the resource. Prevent damage to the cliffs and to the fragile life found here: Use only established trails and carriage roads. Use the yellow-blazed climber approach trails in the Trapps. Avoid damaging lichen and vegetation growing on the cliff and

treat the rock gently: tree cutting, rock trundling, hold chopping, and bolting or gluing of holds are prohibited. Minimize chalk use and brush off heavily chalked holds. Leave only rock-colored slings at rappel stations. Parking is extremely limited on weekends and holidays. During peak seasons, parking lots fill early. Ease traffic congestion by carpooling or coming at off-peak times. Dogs must be attended and leashed at all times. To avoid having your dog disturb others, don’t leave your dog tied-up at the base of a climb. If you leave your dog unattended, it will be removed by an animal control officer. Keep the trails at the base clear so others can pass by. Other ways to support Mohonk Preserve: Volunteer for trail maintenance and other projects that ensure climber access. Become involved with the Gunks Climbers’ Coalition – a local climbing advocacy group. Donate to the Thom Scheuer Memorial Fund for Land Stewardship, which helps build and maintain climber facilities, including trailheads, parking areas, and sanitary facilities. To contribute, contact the Development Department at (845) 255-0919 ext. 1240. Camping is available at the Samuel F. Pryor III Shawangunk Gateway Campground on Rte. 299. For more information, click here (mohonkpreserve.org/camping). For other hotel and lodging information, see the Area Guide (mohonkpreserve.org/area-guide).

Random Ramblings BY LOU THEODORE Sorry, but it’s time for another “random ramblings.” Here are two dozen one-liners to celebrate the silver anniversary of the “random ramblings.” • Just finished reading Chernow’s Alexander Hamilton. I recommend it. • Prior to “Hamilton,” I read The Last Chicago Cubs Dynasty by Hal Bock. This 2017 book is a must if you are a baseball fan. Incidentally, Hal is an East Williston resident. • I really miss Bill O’Reilly. His show was fair, impartial, interesting, informative and entertaining. • Defense plays second fiddle to offense in nearly every sport, particularly basketball. • I’ve become a fan of TCM (Turner Classic Movies). Can I attribute this to old age? • Traveling is no longer fun. Florida is the only place I look forward to going to. • Terry Collins (Mets) is unquestionably the worst manager in baseball. Maybe the Mets can lose the rest of their games and management will get wise and fire Collins. • The USEPA has thankfully come to its senses about global warming…or is it climate change?

• A second edition of Basketball Coaching 101 is in the works and it will unveil my umbrella offense. • Just returned from our annual Easter visit to Sarasota, Florida. It was our 40th straight year of vacationing at the fabulous Sandcastle Resort. Unfortunately, I fractured a vertebrae slipping in the bathroom. • Planned on attending the Annual International Air & Waste Management Association (AWMA) Conference in Pittsburgh in June. It would have been my 50th consecutive year in a row of either presenting a technical paper or giving a seminar, or both. Unfortunately, the fractured vertebrae eliminated my travel plans. • Just celebrated Mary’s 50th wedding anniversary. Planned on visiting Ireland again to also celebrate Mary’s family reunion. Unfortunately, Mary fractured her femur which eliminated all travel plans. Not the best of summers for the Theodore clan. • Noted sports historian Arthur Lovely celebrated his 89th birthday this past April 23rd at the 4½ star restaurant L’Econtra in Astoria. The party of 8 included handsome (that’s yours truly), the irrepressible Danny Doyle, Ed “The Glider” Charles of the fabulous 1972 Mets, and TV fight analyst/former

boxer Tommy Gallagher. • The indifference and incompetence of government officials continues to amaze me – particularly here in Nassau County. • The indifference and incompetence of government employees also never cease to amaze me; I could write an article on my experience with the USEPA and the Albertson Post Office. • I keep preaching that defense is as important as offense in basketball, and all my “expert” friends keep agreeing with me. But do they really? Other than Bill Russell (and possibly Dennis Rodman), name one Hall of Famer in Springfield who was selected for his defensive play. • Capitalism (along with democracy) is what has made our nation great. But there are times when capitalism has to be harnessed for the common good. • Liberty and freedom? Somehow, there is need to balance these against anarchy and disorder. • Manufacturing runs has become a lost art in baseball. Everyone is trying to hit a home run. • Every batter who regularly faces the infield “shift” should be required to learn how to hit to the opposite field. • Lost another of our gang – Zack Mehale. He was one of the good guys

who made us laugh and who everybody loved. We’ve become depleted; there’s only a handful of us left. • Visited Saratoga in late August (my 61st straight summer visit) – NYRA’s THE place to be if you want to get ripped off. And what does that say about me? • A couple of people complained about my June 1 article titled “On Great Eats.” • I hope most of you read Ron Roel’s ACT 2 Page three page feature article about me in Newsday on June 25th. It modestly describes my successes during my illustrious career, more in next month’s posting. Once again, this is the silver anniversary edition of the “random ramblings.” Thanks are due to friends, relatives, colleagues, etc., for their interest and support for this unique category of article; my indebtedness is also extended to those individuals in this group who are currently incarcerated or institutionalized.

Y O U R S O C I A L S E C U R I T Y

Answers for Women About Social Security BY TOM MARGENAU

I wouldn’t know how to go about getting accurate information about this issue, but based on the emails I receive, I’d guess that 75 percent of my readers are women. Here are some example emails. Q: I am 75 years old and getting widow’s benefits from my first husband, who died many years ago. I was married a second time for 20 years to another man. He was a doctor and made millions. I divorced him because of physical abuse I suffered. He is living in a mansion in California. What I can’t figure out is why I am not getting any of his Social Security? A: You’re not getting any of his Social Security because he’s not dead -- yet. (I’m not trying to give you any ideas.) A widow’s rate pays up to twice as much as the rate paid to a wife (or divorced wife) of a guy who is still alive. So, if you are due two benefits, you only get the one that pays the higher rate. You might be getting up to 100 percent of your deceased first husband’s Social Security. But you are only due one-half of your second husband’s benefit. And I’m sure 100 percent from husband No. 1 pays more than 50 percent from husband No. 2 -- no matter how rich he is. All I can suggest you do is order a subscription to the newspaper in the town where your ex lives and start reading the obituaries! Q: I am 73 years old. I get $1,560 per month in my own retirement benefits. My ex-husband, who always made a six-figure income, must be getting way more than me. So I figure I am due something extra from his Social Security. I talked to someone at my Social Security office about this, and she said I’m not eligible for anything on his record because no one is getting $3,120 per month. What did she mean by that? A: What she was trying to explain to you is that you are either due your own Social Security benefit, or half of your ex-husband’s basic full retirement age benefit, whichever pays the higher rate. Currently, the maximum full retirement benefit is about $2,700. Half of that is $1,350. Your own Social Security retirement exceeds that, so that is why you aren’t due anything from your ex-husband’s Social Security account. Or to clarify the Social Security rep’s remarks a little more, she was trying to tell you that you could only get benefits on your ex’s account if one half of his Social Security rate exceeds what you are getting. You’re getting $1,560, so your ex would have to be getting $3,120 or more before you could get anything extra from him. And since no retiree can be getting that much in just a basic Social Security check, you’re not eligible for divorced wife’s benefits.

Q: I am 71 years old. I get $1,415 from Social Security. My rich ex-husband told me he is getting monthly benefits of $3,430. So I should be getting half of that, or $1,716. How come I’m not? A: As I explained in the answer to the prior question, that rate payable to a wife is based on the husband’s full retirement age rate. In other words, the rate he would have been due at age 66. With a monthly benefit as high as his, I’m sure he didn’t start his Social Security checks until age 70. And by doing that, he got an extra 32 percent “delayed retirement bonus” tacked on to his monthly checks. So I’m guessing his full retirement age rate is around $2,600. And you are due half of that, or $1,300. So the reason you are not getting wife’s benefits is because your own $1,415 rate exceeds your spousal benefit rate. Q: Every woman I know is getting half of her husband’s Social Security. But I’m getting nowhere near that. Why don’t I get half? A: Although each questioner will phrase her inquiry differently, this is probably the most common question a woman will ask me. A woman will get half of her husband’s Social Security (assuming it is more than her own retirement benefit) if she waits until age 66 to claim spousal benefits. My guess is that you started your benefits before you were 66. If you took them at age 62, for example, you should be getting about one-third of your husband’s Social Security. And frankly, I doubt if “every woman” you know is getting half of her husband’s Social Security. Statistics show the majority of women start taking benefits before their full retirement age, which means most women are getting less than the 50 percent spousal rate. Q: I always earned more money than my husband, so now I get a higher Social Security benefit than he receives. Someone told me that if I die first, he won’t get anything extra from my account because only women can get widow’s benefits. Is this true? A: Well, technically it’s true that only women get “widow’s” benefits. But a man, including your husband, would certainly be entitled to “widower’s” benefits. The eligibility rules for widows and widowers are the same. So if you die first, your husband will keep getting his own retirement benefit. Then he will get the difference between your rate and his rate in the form of widower’s benefits added to his Social Security check. Q: I just turned 62. My ex-husband says I should take reduced spousal benefits on his record now and then at age 66, switch to 100 percent of my own Social Security. How do I go about doing that? A: You can’t do that. The rules say if you take any Social Security benefits be-

fore age 66, you MUST file for your own reduced retirement first. Only after you are getting those benefits will they look to your ex’s record to see if you are due any additional divorced spouse benefits.

Atlantic Canada Delivers Foliage, Flavor and Festivals Aplenty This Fall

ATLANTIC CANADA – As summer gives way to crisp autumn air, the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island offer more than breathtaking horizons of gold, crimson and amber leaves. This fall, travelers to Atlantic Canada’s coastal region will find fewer crowds, lower rates and a variety of festivals, culinary indulgences and experiences that deliver more than simply peeping at leaves from a car. Prince Edward Island Throughout September, the Fall Flavours Festival takes foodies on a culinary journey across Prince Edward Island. From mussel and lobster shore boils and grilled cheese chef challenges, to made in Canada food tours, the festival also features signature events hosted by popular celebrity chefs including PEI’s own Chef Michael Smith. Pricing for individual events vary. For leaf peepers, the red clay roads on Prince Edward Island (www. tourismpei.com) are lined with trees full of apricot orange, fiery red and bright yellow and showcase best between midSeptember and mid-October. Bicycling on the Confederation Trail, which is built on old railroad tracks and spans about 270 miles (435 kilometers), offers spectacular views of colorful foliage with sections that lead through wooded areas and along the coastline. Nova Scotia With a famed heritage for its giant pumpkins, Windsor in Nova Scotia ( www.novascotia.com) hosts the annual Pumpkin Festival and Regatta, where people paddle in hollowed out

Prince Edward Island’s red clay roads are delightful for biking in fall. oversized pumpkins and race across Lake Pezaquid. With a backdrop of autumn leaves, spectators can cheer on the pumpkin racers, children can participate in scavenger hunts and so much more during the festivities on October 9. For more information, visit http://worldsbiggestpumpkins. com For nine days in October, Cape Breton Island is alive with music, activities and events celebrating the community’s rich culture during the annual Celtic Colours International Festival. Held from October 6-14 when the leaves of Cape Breton are vibrant in red, yellow and orange hues, Celtic Colours has grown to become one of Canada’s premier musical events. At one of the many concerts, guests will be

entertained by musicians from around the world sharing the stage with Cape Breton’s best singers, dancers, players, story-tellers and culture bearers in venues that range from community halls and churches to modern schools and theatres. For more information, visit http://celtic-colours.com/. Newfoundland and Labrador Foliage enthusiasts looking for an offbeat way to view fall colors can head to Newfoundland and Labrador (www. newfoundlandlabrador. com)and hop on an ATV. In Western Newfoundland, Mount Musgrave ATV Tours travels along Marble Mountain’s jaw-dropping vistas of Humber Valley. The one and half hour tour brings ATVing guests

beyond the chairlift to the summit of Mount Musgrave to spot wildlife such as moose, caribou, black bear, and of course, the vibrant hues of changing leaves. Available through October 31, price is $55 CAD per person. From October 6-8, Fogo Island celebrates the partridgeberry, the tart red berry that grows in abundance in Newfoundland and Labrador. The Fogo Island Partridgeberry Harvest Festival showcases local produce of Fogo Island and Change Islands through farmer’s market, crafts, bake-offs, harvest competitions, demonstration of traditional woodworking and quilting, music, jam sessions and much more. New Brunswick Indulge, New Brunswick’s annual food and wine festival in St. Andrews by-the-Sea, features three days of food experiences and more from October 13 to 15. From a walking tour and tasting of top chefs’ wares along shorefront Water Street to a farmer’s market, tasting dinners and wine trails, guests enjoy local culinary delights. On October 14, adventurists can race the tide across the ocean floor on bike during Cyclocross the Tide on Ministers Island. Pricing for individual events vary. In Miramichi, New Brunswick (www.tourismnewbrunswick.ca), the newly opened Over the Cove Zipline stretches more than 980 feet (300 meters). Adventurers can zip over water and through the changing colored leaves in two directions at French Fort Cove, which also offers walking, hiking and biking trails. Over the Cove Zipline is open weekends through October 9. Price is $20 CAD per person.

How to keep school uniforms looking like new

School uniforms can simplify dressing for school and may even bolster school pride among the student body. The U.S. Department of Education says that wearing a uniform may help decrease the risk of violence and theft and instill discipline while helping school officials more easily recognize potential intruders. Although once found only at religious and private schools, school uniforms are now worn at many public schools across the United States and Canada. The National Center for Education Statistics indicates roughly 20 percent of public and private schools across the U.S. required students to wear uniforms in the 2011-12 school year — the most recent year for which data is available. In Quebec, school uniforms are far more common than in other provinces, potentially influenced by the classical Quebec private colleges and Montreal’s English independent schools. School uniforms may help families save money on clothing. Although the initial cost of the uniform may be higher than some other clothes parents may purchase for school, uniforms can be worn again and again, saving parents the expense of buying many outfits for their kids to wear to school. Uniforms may even be available for purchase from multiple places, allowing families to shop around for the best prices. Some

help families keep school uniforms in the best condition possible. • Launder gently. Wash clothes in cold water to prolong the life of the clothing. When possible, line-dry items or tumble dry on low. • Have a few backups. Purchase a few pairs of pants, skirts and shirts that can be interchanged each day. This will cut

down on how frequently uniforms need to be washed. • Spot-treat stains immediately. Kids seem drawn to stains from ink, grass, grease, and more, and these stains can permanently ruin clothing if they are not addressed promptly. Rely on some of these stain-removal techniques to keep uniforms looking newer longer: - Soak clothes in cola for 30 minutes prior to laundering to remove greasy marks or food stains. - A paste of white vinegar and baking soda can remove grass stains when worked into the stains and then washed. - Spray pen marks with hair spray then blot to lift off the ink. Repeat as needed before laundering. • Skip some washes. If the uniform isn’t especially soiled or smelly, it may be possible to wear it again without washing. Clothes can often be “refreshed” by using at-home dry cleaning kits. • Reinforce buttons. Use a thin coating of clear nail polish to serve as a protective barrier on button finishes. This will help the buttons look newer longer. The polish also can strengthen the thread that holds buttons on. • Label all clothing. Uniforms all look the same. Be sure to use iron-on labels or sewn-in labels to identify kids’ clothing and avoid having to replace lost items.

THERE MUST BE A REASON ...

“

…It was such a pleasure working with you. You made it all happen and so easily. – ROZ AND BARRY M.

“Barbara – The process of buying or selling a home, if done well, begins with magic. For this to happen, one needs a broker who is totally committed and dedicated to your needs, hopes and dreams. Such a magician is YOU! YOU make all the stress and frustration disappear and replace it with trust and confidence leading to a successful SALE. Bravo, Barbara!” – ANDREA E.

“Dear Barbara – A note of thanks for the wonderful job you did selling my house, and so quickly! It scares me to think how much more difficult it might have been had I signed with a realtor other than you. When I first met with realtors my brother was at my home. When you left, he said to me ‘I don’t know what other realtors you spoke with, but that lady knows her stuff.’ ” – VINCENT D.

”

“…Selling a home is not an easy thing to do, especially if you have to do it alone, but with you holding my hand through it all, made it more bearable. I want to say how very grateful I am and how much I appreciate you.” – SARAH O.
