Six candidates run for three seats on Syosset School Board

GET HEALTHY WEEK

18-20. “I congratulate this year’s class of Presidential Scholars for their devotion to academic excellence and their parents and teachers who have guided them along the way,” said U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos. “Today’s Presidential Scholars are tomorrow’s leaders, and I am confident they will continue to be shining

The voters of Syosset and Woodbury will decide on three-year terms for one third of its board of education, and in 2017 one school board stalwart leads a highly accomplished field of local candidates. Dr. Michael Cohen, president of the Syosset Board of Education, weighed his decision to seek another three-year term and serve the community very seriously. In newcomer Carol Cheng he has found a running mate for the BOE this year, creating a team of two among the six challengers for three board seats. Dr. Cohen is the only sitting trustee seeking re-election on Tuesday, May 16, with a community vote on the annual budget, the use of $7.7 million in capital reserves for facilities and new members on the board. Current school board trustees Tracy Frankel and Susan Parker did not seek re-election. Cohen, meanwhile, will look to make it to 15 years’ service to the Syosset district. “It was a decision that took a long, long time to arrive at. With the support of family and friends I was able to make the decision to pursue it this time. The district has been through a lot over the last half-dozen years, with a few bumpy moments. Along with the other board members, I have spent hundreds of hours working and contemplating decisions outside of public board meetings in terms of committees, etc. We have come through it and what is most gratifying to me is that I know, even if I decided not to run or if this run is unsuccessful, I can leave the board with the gratification and sincere sense that the public really believes in us and that there’s been a 180-degree turnaround for the district,” Cohen explained in an interview with the Advance last week. His enthusiasm seems as fresh as it was when Cohen was first elected to the school board in 2005. He says over time, the experience and his approach to it has morphed into different things. “I know that being on the board is all about respecting one another as a group. It’s remembering that we all represent and work for the community, the students, the residents and everybody, as volunteers. These 12 years have been extremely stressful at times and very, very pleasure at other times – it’s been more of the latter,” he said. Some of his closest family and friends were concerned over Dr. Cohen’s general health from the many late nights of school board meetings and committee talks on top of a medical professional’s hectic lifestyle. Cohen said while his inner circle never pushed him to run again in 2017, they all arrived at the same reason to encourage him once more: “They said ‘this community needs you.’ I don’t intend

An asset to the school district

To the Editor: Dr. Pam Wasserman Heath is a wonderful example of a working mother, parent, community member and public service minded individual. She would be an asset to the Jericho School District Board of Education simply because she is smart, concerned and involved as a parent, friend and someone who reaches out to many who have no one reaching out to them. She is honest and speaks her mind whether it is a popular stance or not. If she feels it is in the best interest of others, especially young people, Dr. Wasserman Heath will spend the necessary time and energy to achieve her goals. I have known Dr. Wasserman Heath for four years and our interactions have been social as well as professional. Her warmth makes everyone associated with Dr.

Wasserman Heath fully at ease. Her intelligence allows us to know she has an educated and thoughtful response to challenges. Her experience as a professional and small business owner as well as her volunteer commitments to the school and religious organization in the community solidifies my belief in her excellent qualifications for the Jericho School District Board of Education. Beth Bucheister

Levelheaded, fair and analytical

To the editor: I confidently recommend Jill Citron to the Jericho Board of Education. I have known Jill for the past ten years. She was co-president with me on the George A. Jackson Elementary PTA. She was my mentor and I can undoubtedly say I learned so much from her. Jill is levelheaded, fair and analytical in her approach. She is soft-spoken

in nature, but always makes sure her voice is heard. She always keeps the students and parents best interests at the forefront. Jill considers all aspects of a situation and gives a solid, thoughtful response. Her legal background will certainly benefit the Board as it did the PTA. She has a strong sense to protect the students, school and the community with integrity and veracity. The current Board unanimously appointed her as a trustee, so it is clear that they already know she is an asset to Jericho Schools. Give her the opportunity to continue in her role and vote for her in the upcoming election. She has certainly earned it! Adriana Milana

A role model

To the Editor: I am writing this letter to enthusiastically support Pam Wasserman Heath for Jericho Board of Education. I have known Pam for over ten years. She was co-president with me on the George A. Jackson PTA. Throughout the years, she has become my role model as a mother, friend, and human being. She exemplifies honesty, fairness and compassion. Her slogan of “Our Community, Our Voice” speaks to who Pam is at her core. She has an innate ability to listen beyond the words being spoken. Throughout her years on the PTA, she created an environment that is welcoming to all. Pam constantly made the students’ best interests a priority. She is a person of strong values and unwavering ethics. She is very active in her community, which gives her a solid sense of Jericho’s changing needs. In a nutshell, she sees, listens, thinks and then comes up with a solution. I am incredibly confident that Pam will be an asset to the Jericho Board of Education. Adriana Milana

Acts with integrity

To the Editor: Over the past seven years I have had the privilege to get to know Dr. Pam Wasserman Heath and her family as members of North Shore Synagogue. This is a very involved family to the point where Pam was elected to our board of trustees last year. Pam has been able to give of her time to plan events, attend various meetings and participates in committees all while serving as the Co- President of Jackson Elementary School and now serving as Vice President of Joint Council of PTA’s.

election on May 16th. I have known Jill for many years and I think the school district would be lucky to have her on its Board. She is currently a Board trustee - she was unanimously appointed by the current Board to replace a member who had to step down after being elected as a Judge, and we need her to stay on the Board. Her experience as a corporate and estate planning attorney and her leadership roles in the community and the PTA make Jill uniquely qualified to sit on the Board of Education. Jill is compassionate, thoughtful, analytical, diplomatic and hard working. She gladly volunteers her time to the community and makes people feel welcome, respected and heard. She is honest, has a great deal of integrity and has no agenda other than wanting what is best for our children and the community. There is no one who is more dedicated to our community and our children and I hope you will join me in voting for Jill Citron on May 16th. Please remind your children and their friends who are 18 or older and all of your friends, neighbors and family who are eligible voters to for Jill, either in person on May 16th or by absentee ballot. Thank you in advance for your support. Debra and John Carrion

On March 10, the Robbins Lane Elementary School PTA held its annual Community Reader Day. It was part of an exciting two week PARP (Pick A Reading Partner) event. Community Reader Day helps to reinforce a love of reading by having community members explain their role in the community and demonstrate their own love of reading! It was a wonderful day for Robbins Lane students to meet various community members and see them model a lifelong love of reading. Each community reader day guest visited with a class and read a story. According to Jennifer Hatz, Community Reader Day Chairperson, this day is a favorite for both the students as well as the guest readers! Community readers included a veterinarian, a police officer, a postal worker, a magician, some local business owners, various Syosset School District administrators, and even the superintendent of Syosset Schools!

According to their website, “RewearAble, is a green program created by ACLD to provide sustainable employment for people with developmental disabilities. We help the environment by keeping unwanted clothing and textiles out of landfills

and instead getting them into the hands of those who can reuse, rewear and recycle the materials. All donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law and directly support the mission of ACLD.” “It is an impressive program.” said Walker, “It is incredible that they have such wonderful workers who are so happy to do their jobs.”

Coupled with rich extra-curricular opportunities, students clearly leave Syosset well-prepared not only for college but all that is beyond.

Students and staff at Baylis Elementary School took time to recognize Earth Day 2017 and pay tribute to a strong supporter of children in the community. The entire school assembled on the school lawn to sing about the Earth and dedicate a new tree in memory of the late Nassau County Legislator Judy Jacobs. Sydney Geller, a student council officer at Baylis, is the granddaughter of Jacobs. She and her fellow student council leaders led the school in an original song titled “Many Helping Hands.” Baylis parent Ramona Machson wrote and composed the song, incorporating Earth Day-related phrases provided by students from every grade level at Baylis into her lyrics. The Baylis Garden Club also accepted a generous donation of flowers from the Baylis PTA, which will be used to create a second butterfly garden at the school.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Email: Editor@GCNews.com

From page 2 Synagogue I watch and listen to Pam as she acts with integrity, caring, and thoughtfulness, the traits anyone would be looking for in a candidate for school board. This working mother of two has my full endorsement for Jericho School Board as I am well aware of what she will bring to your community and you won’t be disappointed. You will be lucky to have a volunteer like Dr. Pam Wasserman Heath on your school board. I believe Pam has the background to be a great asset to the Jericho School Board. Her ability to work side by side with other trustees and always able to see what is the best path to take. To volunteer her time to help improve and move forward in a positive way are not traits to be taken lightly. Harvey Wiesenberg, President

A natural diplomat

To the Editor: As a Jericho resident and graduate of Jericho Schools, I have always been proud of the reputation of our school district. The advancements that continue to be made in our education programs can only strengthen the learning opportunities offered to our students. I support Jill Citron’s candidacy for a seat on the Board of Education, as she is the person who has the dedication, knowledge, and determination to see that Jericho Schools’ programming continues to thrive. Jill, a current Board of Education Member, was unanimously appointed to the Board in January 2017. I have known Jill for more than twenty years. She has a stellar reputation for dedication to our schools and community. Jill served as PTA President for Jackson Elementary School and President of Jericho’s Joint PTA Council. Through her service on these Boards and her current experience as member of the Jericho Board of Education, Jill has developed a tremendous understanding of how our school district operates and its relationship to the broader education system in New York State. Having served on the Board since January, Jill already has a working knowledge of Board practices and policies. As a dedicated community member, Jill is quick to offer her assistance to our local programs. She has been involved in community athletics, volunteering for roles from team administrator to coach. Jill is patient, honest thoughtful and fair. Jill’s personality is that of a natural diplomat. She approaches discourse in a reasonable and analytical fashion. She is a problem solver. Jill’s years as a corporate and estate planning attorney reflect these characteristics. I have always found Jill to be approachable, pragmatic and honest. I am confident that if elected, Jill will continue to have

a strong and meaningful voice for all families in our district. This election is important because our school district and community must continue to reach ever-increasing levels of excellence. Debra Goldstein

Support Cohen and Cheng

To the Editor: One of the most important elected positions in any community is that of School Board Trustee for that individual is charged with the education of our children and oversight of taxpayers’ dollars. We have been honored to serve as Syosset School Board Trustees for many years, April for 12 and Laura for 6. We are proud of the work that has been accomplished, the plethora of changes that have been made and the relationships that have been built and nurtured. This tremendous growth on the board has been championed and led by our president, Dr. Michael Cohen, who has demonstrated unparalleled dedication and integrity for 12 years and is ready to continue to serve as an integral part of what makes this board successful. The Syosset-Woodbury community has been lucky to have such a strong force in its corner. Michael was the new leadership that allowed for the unrestricted flow of information, the open dialogues between the school board and the community and the strong working relationship between the board and administration. Michael has made it his mission to listen to the community and has been a significant stabilizing influence while exhibiting his thoroughness and commitment through substantive contributions to the board’s important undertakings, most notably the selection of our new superintendent, deputy superintendent, building principals and key administrators. Michael is all about the children and has no hidden or personal agenda. Carol Cheng, Michael’s running mate, shares the same core values. She is a longtime volunteer in the Syosset PTA and the Syosset community, having served as Village School’s PTA Co-President. Carol has shown excellent leadership qualities while actively representing the best interests of children and parents. She has represented our district with distinction, often taking on projects and completing tasks behind the scenes without fanfare or notoriety. Why do we overwhelming support Michael and Carol for School Board Trustees – because they have displayed over the years the temperament needed to be successful in this very important role. We need people on the board who can successfully build consensus and both Michael and Carol have proven track records for getting all parties involved and facilitating solutions that demonstrate compromise and the best interests of all stakeholders.

We need Michael and Carol who each understand the complexities involved in running our schools efficiently while providing our children with the world class education that they will need to compete in an increasingly complex global economy. A superb education is vital to our children and to us as property owners in order to maintain Syosset’s excellent reputation as one of the most desirable school districts on Long Island and indeed in New York State. Please vote for Dr. Michael Cohen (Ballot #5) and Carol Cheng (Ballot #2) on May 16th. April Neuendorf and Laura Schlesinger The statements above are our personal opinion and do not represent a formal position of the Syosset Board of Education.

How to choose a candidate

To the Editor: The upcoming election for the Jericho Board of Education is something that affects all Jericho residents, including those that no longer have children in the school district. The standards for the quality of education that we have come to expect from the district are the same standards we should demand from our candidates and elected board members. Too often, political posturing and social pressures force voters to make the wrong choice with unintended consequences. While all of us have our own busy lives, this is something that should grab everyone’s attention and careful deliberation to choose the best and most qualified individuals for an important job in our community. I believe the best way to determine a yes or no vote is to ask yourself the following questions: Does the candidate have the proper and relevant qualifications for the position? Can this person get along well with others or is he/she arrogant? Does the candidate have the ability to compromise to bring about positive outcomes, or does righteousness get in their way? Finally,

Does the candidate possess the proper temperament for the position? After careful consideration, I believe that Jill Citron and Dr. Pam Wasserman-Heath are more than qualified for seats on the Jericho Board Of Education. Jill currently sits on the Board after she was unanimously appointed to replace a vacant seat earlier this year. She has held the position of PTA President and President of the Joint PTA council. She was elected to these positions solely based on her ability to execute ideas with ease and negotiate in a reasonable and fair minded way. Her reputation as a selfless and helpful member of the community is beyond reproach. She approaches every situation with integrity and the ability to listen first and reply later. Jill’s professional background as a corporate and estate planning attorney allow her to quickly analyze information in an un biased and diplomatic way, something that is vital to the success of our ever changing and growing district. Pam is a Jericho graduate who has a deep commitment to the community and the district. Her Community resume includes PTA President and Vice President of the Joint Council of PTA’s, as well as a current Board member of North Shore Synagogue and charitable organizations. Her professional experience as a Clinical Psychologist for over 20 years qualifies her to resolve conflicts and sensitive issues that may arise in a way that will benefit all parties. Her warm, caring and helpful nature is a welcome addition to any group or decision making body. She believes that constructive and respectful dialogue can get almost anything accomplished. Jill and Pam are both committed to the success and well being of every Jericho family and the community at large. They conduct themselves with integrity, diligence, purpose and care. I am proud to know them and have them represent my voice in the community. Marianne Bock

The Syosset School District is proud to announce that Syosset High School’s Virtual Enterprise International team, Flip Chip, will advance to the 2016-17 National Business Plan Competition. Flip Chip is one of only four teams from Long Island heading to the national finals, which will be held at the Microsoft Technology Center in New York City on April 3. In its inaugural year in Syosset, the VEI program has experienced tremendous success, with all four teams (Flip Chip, Alternative Reality Entertainment, Nice Pops and AAA Turbo Tech) receiving accolades. Flip Chip and ARE were two of only 10 teams chosen to participate in the Long Island Regional Competition held earlier this month at American Portfolios Financial in Holbrook. VEI students take on the roles of business professionals and create a workplace environment in the classroom. They brainstorm ideas for a product, service or marketable concept, then establish their company by submitting

resumes and cover letters to hopefully land an interview for various positions, including the CEO. Flip Chip markets a line of all-natural, environmentally sustainable and tasty potato chips. According to Flip Chip VEI teacher Matthew Fiasconaro, the team has been reviewing video from the previous competition and making adjustments to their presentation. They also invited Superintendent of Schools Dr. Tom Rogers and Deputy Superintendent Adele Bovard to sit in on their presentation and provide feedback. Fiasconaro said the intent was for the students to rehearse their presentation in front of district administrators to match the intensity the students expect to face during the national competition. “The Flip Chip team is really excited with all the attention that they have been receiving lately,” said Fiasconaro. “Yet they remain focused and driven on the task at hand, which is to win the National Business Plan Competition.”

Flipping over their success: Virtual Enterprise team heads to national finals

Friday, May 12, 2017

Six candidates run for three seats on Syosset School Board

From page 1 that in an obnoxious way, but it is an enormous responsibility. The monthly board meetings are the least of it. Aside from when I am taking care of patients in an open-heart surgery, the school district is on my mind 24/7. I think about items proposed, how Dr. Rogers and the administration or my fellow board members can help in any ways possible, and ” Cohen tells the Advance. His four children are now all grown and out of the district, but consulting them for opinions from time to time adds to Dr. Cohen’s perspective when he attends to his school board duties. Working with the Superintendent of Schools Dr. Thomas Rogers, has been a tremendous experience. “Everyone in the world should be able to do a two-month internship with Tom Rogers. You will learn how to work with people and how to listen and not give knee-jerk responses. The opportunity to continue working with him and the new Deputy Superintendent Adele Bovard, who started ahead of the fall term in 2016, is incredible. He has taught me so much professionally in my career. With Dr. Rogers, all the board members would learn how to follow process and be methodical, focusing on the end-game. Cohen and Vice President April Neuendorf had to approach BOCES in July of 2013, when Dr. Carole Hankin resigned (retired) as Syosset’s superintendent. The person they met at BOCES was Thomas Rogers, then head of Nassau BOCES Cooperative Educational Services division. The impression he made on Syosset’s school board leadership was so intense that they followed up with him as the search for a new superintendent carried forward. After initially not taking Cohen up on the opportunity to apply for the lead role in Syosset, Rogers later did submit his application and notify Nassau BOCES that he was seeking the superintendent position. But he looks back at that summer’s process and calls the interim superintendent who preceded Dr. Rogers, Dr. Ronald L. Friedman, “calming salve” for a Syosset school district in full transition mode. Rogers officially took over as superintendent on July 1, 2014, and he is now Syosset’s glue. The issue of the Woodbury property sale to developer Basser Kaufman and the community outcry, followed by the board’s decision to back out of the contract and pay the developer $125,000 in penalties, was a heavy force for Cohen to reckon with at packed board meetings inside South Woods Middle School. He faced that challenge by calming the crowds as best he could, assuring people of an opportunity to speak so long as they reside in this community, and then he sat attentive for each and every one of the dozens that marched up to the microphone at December and January school board meetings. The tide has

died down since the district rescinded the sale, but Cohen noticed good coming from that adversity. Cohen says eventually the open public discourse over the Woodbury property, adjacent to Walt Whitman Elementary, came to signify the democracy of our nation and presenting all viewpoints. “Nothing was more pleasing to me in all my years on the board just prior to those meetings, with many in our community expressing joy as the board approved the Muslim and Hindu holidays for 2017-2018. We then heard, over the next month or two (December to late January) a beautiful civic process at work. The public came to us and blamed us, I think unfairly so but I get it, and they expressed their concerns. I did not put on a red t-shirt and encourage the breakup of the deal, as I clearly learned it was against the contract terms with Basser Kaufman. We heard the issues and we responded. My only hope, as I said at the end of the dialogues, was that something must happen with that property whether it is commercial use or a park – who knows. However it does not belong to any one part of the Syosset or Woodbury community more than any others. Once again we are going to grow from this and the end result is that everyone learned a little bit,” Cohen says. Another opportunity to learn came from the recent events, meetings, and presentations highlighting the district’s coming 2017-2018 budget, within the state’s allowable tax cap with a levy of 2.12 percent, plus a field of five other candidates with diverse, highly skilled backgrounds. Carol Cheng commented on her work with Cohen. “We realized that our visions align perfectly with one another. He has been on the board for 12 years and board president over the past five years, and yet we have so much in common for visions for the school district. I think he handled recent situations (with the Woodbury property uproar) really well. It is impossible to please everyone but he did a great job, and a lot of the crises are over. The district handled that and Dr. Cohen and I both feel that is something to put in the rearview and to move forward. We need to focus on technology initiatives, science initiatives and seeing all kids enjoy the good things that our district offers,” Cheng told the Advance last week. One of the keys to a school board’s success that she identified was making sure every one of Syosset’s none board members are heard from, and presented to the community. She also says Cohen has helped her understand how the board looks longer term for Syosset’s future. “We value everybody’s opinion and we take everybody’s advice, and we work together to find the balance and see what is best for the district,” Cheng said.

Dr. Uzma Syed

A home-grown Syosset Schools’ alumna, Dr. Uzma Syed has gained the interests of national Indian and Asian-American news outlets by becoming the first Muslim, Indian-American female to run for a political office in New York State. She is running with a campaign of putting Syosset students first, from the district eventually offering a state-funded Universal Pre-K program, infection awareness and prevention programs and various high school apprenticeships for teens to get realworld experience before college starts. One week before the May 16 election, Dr. Syed said her reason to run begins and ends with community involvement and feedback from district families. “It has been an amazing process and I have learned so much about running a school board campaign. I engaged with so many of our residents during this time, and it reinforces the fact that residents love this town and district. I look forward to continuing this journey with them,” Syed told the Advance. In addition to Carol Cheng, Dr. Cohen and Dr. Syed, three more school board candidates for the Tuesday, May 16 election had started a “Change in Syosset” Facebook page during the winter‘s Woodbury property debate, but it has since been disbanded. The three candidates are Anna Levitan, owner of Syosset’s Chyten Educational Services, and two Woodbury residents in attorney Melissa Breitstein and Dr. Mark Fierstein, who each spoke up multiple times about concerns with the Woodbury property sale during the late 2016 and early 2017 board of education meetings. Dr. Fierstein, an internist with Northwell Health, is also the president of the Hunting Hill Civic Association. An experienced community advocate, he has volunteered with the Cerro Wire Coalition (for the Syosset Park property’s future) for over 15 years. Dr.

Fierstein is affiliated with North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, Long Island Jewish Medical Center and Winthrop-University Hospital. He earned his M.D. from Weill Cornell Medical College (Cornell University) and completed his residency at Mount Sinai Beth Israel. Breitstein, a Yukon Drive resident, was interviewed by regional TV and cable media outlets during the Woodbury parcel controversy. She continuously advocated for safety and the public’s right to information from the school district ahead of the now-rescinded property sale. Breitstein noted the reasons people leave other areas and choose to live in Syosset-Woodbury plus the already congested local roads as top quality-of-life points related to the district and its grounds and facilities. Levitan has been a campaign leader on Facebook, using social media to spread information in the community. At the start of May she posted about a TV report on Syosset neighborhoods being impacted by cellular antenna units: “Learn about mini cell towers Town of Oyster Bay approved to go up all over our community right next to our homes without asking a single resident’s opinion. Everyone concerned should put pressure on the Town Administration and (Town Supervisor) Mr. Saladino to re-evaluate the locations for those towers!” Levitan wrote. With the election looming several in-school presentations and the Syosset schools’ newsletter targeted the mass facilities upgrades planned by the district. But in selecting its leaders, the community had one last chance to revisit the pertinent school district issues in front of all six candidates with the annual “Know Your Candidate” forum planned for Thursday night, May 11, at South Woods Middle School.

Grace Hu named Presidential Scholar

From page 1 examples as they enter the next phase of their academic careers.” The White House Commission on Presidential Scholars selects honored scholars annually based on their academic success, artistic excellence, essays, school evaluations and transcripts, as well as evidence of community service, leadership, and demonstrated commitment to high ideals. Of the 3.5 million students expected to graduate from high school this year, more than 5,100 candidates qualified for the 2017 awards determined by outstanding performance on the College Board SAT and

ACT exams, and through nominations made by Chief State School Officers, other partner recognition organizations or the National YoungArts Foundation’s nationwide YoungArtsTM competition. Since 1983, each U.S. Presidential Scholar has been offered the opportunity to name his or her most influential teacher. Each distinguished teacher is honored with a personal letter from the Secretary of Education. The teacher chosen for recognition by Hu was Serena McCalla of Jericho Senior High School in Jericho, New York.

Baylis Elementary hosted their annual Winter Concert earlier this year. This was the first concert for both of Baylisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new music teachers, Mr. Shatz and Ms. Eggerman, and they did a superb job showing all in attendance their love of music and their ability to inspire the students of Baylis. Over forty students participate in the String Orchestra which started the evening with three wonderful melodies including Toyland. Our Third Grade

Chorus followed with lively songs including a wonderfully choreographed Come Hear the Band! Next was the Band with three tunes including the Hallelujah Chorus! The grand finale was the fourth and fifth grade Chorus with eighty five students directed by Ms. Lasky. The chorus put everyone in a toe tapping mood with You Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Stop the Beat! Baylis is very proud of all its musicians including ten All County Musicians!

Baylis Elementary Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2017 Science & Technology Fair was held on the evening of March 8, 2017 in the Baylis gymnasium. More than 250 student scientists and inventors exhibited their scientific knowledge and creativity through excellent projects! The Baylis Science and Technology Fair is an opportunity to share the ingenuity of talented young scientists and inventors. It is the collaborative effort of family,

students and school that brings imagination to life. The fair encourages the understanding and communication of problem solving strategies. Students spent many hours in school and at home designing a myriad of display boards detailing both their ingenuity and creativity. They used their critical thinking skills and knowledge to develop purposeful inventions and science experiments.

Biking is Great Way to Tour San Francisco’s Must-See Attractions

The weather is overcast on the day I have set to do that iconic bike ride along San Francisco’s waterfront, over the Golden Gate Bridge into Sausalito and on to Tiburon. But that doesn’t stop me or several thousand other visitors to this engaging city. I just throw in some rain gear along with water and snacks. I set out for Blazing Saddles,

which has the largest bike fleet in California and some nine locations throughout San Francisco. The company’s main location is at 2715 Hyde Street, ideally located in Fisherman’s Wharf, and just a block and a half from the start of the National Park Bike Path. This path takes riders on a beautiful, car-free bike ride along the bay, passed the Marina, through historic Fort Mason,

and over to the Golden Gate Bridge, which is where most of the riders go. Blazing Saddles has been in business over 30 years – it is the original “Bike the Bridge” company – but now has some new offerings, including a new electric bike model that was custom-made for the company, the Electric Blazer, and a free mobile app. The new “e-Blazer” was

customized for Blazing Saddles and they say is the lightest electric bike. The bike looks like regular bike (the battery is on the luggage rack on the back rather than where your legs are). It would be exceptional if you were riding San Francisco’s hills. But a consideration for me, as the Blazing Saddles person explains,

is that e-bikes, can only take the Blue & Gold ferry line from Sausalito or Tiburon to Pier 41, which has somewhat more limited service than the Golden Gate Ferry (which goes into the Ferry Building at Embarcadero – so I see that my last time back from Tiburon (where I am trying to get to) would be 4:15 pm and it is already noon. I decide not to take the e-bike but to take a regular bike, which is lighter and easier for me to get on/off, and soldier through the hills, starting with Fort Mason (made it!), then the ramp up to Golden Gate Bridge (made it!). The weather may be overcast, but I get to see that wonderful scene of the Golden Gate Bridge half-shrouded in San Francisco’s famous fog, a scene that changes moment to moment, it seems. It is 8 miles to Sausalito – that takes about 1 ½ hours (you won’t just be riding over the Golden Gate Bridge, you will want to sightsee, stop for photos, and also have to keep stopping for pedestrians). Plan to spend time – at least an hour – in Sausalito which has really wonderful shops, galleries, eateries and scenic views, even if you are planning to continue the ride to Tiburon. It is 10 more miles between Sausalito and Tiburon, which should take another 1 ½ to 2 hrs. Blazing Saddles does an excellent job of preparing you – showing a 2-minute video of the route along the waterfront through the Marina district, up over Fort Mason (a strenuous hill) to the ramp up to Golden Gate Bridge (also strenuous hill), then down, down, down, into Sausalito. They also give you a ticket for the ferry which you don’t actually pay for unless you use it (saves time and anxiety to buy the ticket at the ferry but I notice that the Blue & Gold lets you buy the ticket on the ferry, also). When I get back, I pay Blazing Saddles $11.50 for the ferry (the same amount as you would pay directly to the ferry). Their map/brochure even gives the time schedule for the ferries. They tell us we should return the bikes by 7:30 pm or else call. They supply quality helmets, a lock, a pouch and luggage rack, and an excellent map (which also shows points of interest along the routes) and take care to properly fit the bike. (Blazing Saddles offers an all-day guided tour out of the 2715 Hyde Street location, departing 10 am and 1 pm, that includes the all-day Deluxe Comfort bike rental for $55/adult, $35/child). I had really wanted to see the ride to Tiburon which is mostly on a bike trail but partly sharing the road. But once you get under the highway and go along the highway on the service road, the sign to the bike route (for Bike Route 8) to Tiburon is confusing (everyone else I met on the line to the ferry made the same mistake) – when actually, all you have to do is follow the service road maybe ¼ mile more and turn up on Belvedere Road, for a much more pleasant ride which soon connects to a very nice bike trail (Bike Route 10). I made the mistake of not biking out to Mill

Valley’s Old Mill Park, where you get to see the Coastal Redwoods, and then connecting to the Bike Route #8 – which is the way Blazing Saddles recommends to go (I was in a hurry to get to Tiburon, it was already raining, and I had recently hiked Muir Woods). Eventually you connect with Route 10 which is a dedicated bike trail along the water into Tiburon. Even with getting lost (involving riding up three major hills in the residential area and stumbling upon the beautiful Audubon sanctuary (until a very nice man stopped his car and pointed out the route to me), I still got to Tiburon at 3:55 pm. There is not nearly as much to visit as in Sausalito, so I basically walked up and down the street in the “historic” district where the shops are and still made it to the 4:15 pm ferry for the fun 35-minute scenic “cruise” back to San Francisco’s Pier 41 at Fisherman’s Wharf, stopping at Angel Island and passing very close to Alcatraz on the way. There were a gazillion other bikes - a huge slew with the Blazing Saddles emblem – and the ferry people are extremely efficient in loading and unloading the bikers. Besides this most popular Bike the Bridge ride (average 3 hours for the full 22 miles into Tiburon), other recommended routes include Bike the Parks (San Francisco’s bike route system connects Union Square and the “Wiggle” to the famous Golden Gate Park and the Presidio, 15 miles averaging 2-3 hours; the Marin Headlands Loop (from the north side of the Bridge, follow the coast west on Conzelman Road, out towards Point Bonita and Rodeo Beach, 10 miles, 2-3 hours; and “Conquer Mount Tamalpais, which would take you to Muir Woods National Monument, 15 miles beyond Sausalito, for a 5-6 hour trip – the elevations to Mount Tamalpais at 2,574 feet, make this especially challenging. Indeed, San Francisco, despite its hills, is one of the most bike-friendly, welcoming cities anywhere (and if you get tired, public buses and the BART subway system accommodate bikes). Blazing Saddles has a score of different road, hybrid and mountain bikes and types, starting at $8/hour or $32 for a 24-hour day; the best bike for biking the Bridge is a deluxe comfort hybrid, $9/hr, $36/for a 24-hour day; the e-Blazer ranges from $48-88.

A Guide to the Catskills, Part 2 BY MARJORIE GOTTLIEB WOLFE This alphabetical look at the Catskills began in last week’s issue, May 5, 2017, with A through G

Headline

The NY Post’s Page Six gossip column (6/24/15), quotes an NYC nightlife “guru” as saying that the “Catskills are the new Hamptons.” In an article by Julia Reischel, Nur Khan said that the Catskills are what Montauk was when Andy Warhol and Peter Beard and the Stones [were there] in like ’71, ’72.”

Homowack Lodge

Freddie Roman, the comedian, began his career at Homowack Lodge. He was featured in the movie, “Sweet Lorraine.” The former Homowack Lodge in Spring Glen, NY, was converted to a summer camp for Hassidic girls. The property was evacuated in July 2009, citing health and safety violations.

Humor in the Catskills

Henny Youngman found that guests loved to be insulted—albeit gently. Once, seeing a couple arguing in the lobby, he said, “Here’s a fastidious couple. She’s fast, and he’s hideous.” “Cissie” Blumberg (“Remember the Catskills”) shared the story about two hotelkeepers who met during the season (“di sezon”). “How’s business?” one asked. “Terrible,” replied the other. “I have an empty room.” “So what’s terrible about one empty room?” “It’s the dining room!”

Jason, Jay

Jason entertained from 1933 until 2000. He performed at the Granit, Kusher’s, the Nevele, and other hotels. Jason was quoted as saying: “I always thought Chubby Checkers was a fat taxicab.” “People talk about doctors and unethical practices—splitting fees, overcharging, all that stuff. But not my doctor. He’s a great physician, honest, sincere above-board. He never operates on you unless he really needs the money.”

Jewish Geography

The bellhops at Grossinger’s used to gossip about who found a husband. Guests played their version of “Jewish Geography”—Your Room or Mine?

Kaye, Danny (quote)

“You bet I arrived overnight. Over a few hundred nights in the Catskills, in vaudeville, in clubs, and on Broadway.”

King, Larry

King worked one summer as a busboy at Grossinger’s. He would take a Short Line bus there, up Route 17 before the New York State Thruway was con-

structed. It was about a seven hour trip from B’klyn. You’d stop at the Red Apple Rest in Tuxedo, N. Y. for a burger, andthen on to the mountains, the bus driver grinding his gears as henegotiated the famous Wurtsboro hills. Source: “When You’re From Brooklyn, Everything Else is Tokyo” byLarry King wth Marty Appel. When Larry King worked at the “Laurel in the Pines” in Lakewood, NJ, he remembers one afternoon when a lot of old folks were sitting around on the porch, wrapped up in blankets as if they were on an ocean voyage. He was attempting to get everybody’s blood moving, tummling, doing his shtick. Mrs. Tisch happened along and said, “Young man, save your antics for the stage. This is Laurel in the Pines, NOT THE BORSCHT BELT.” Source: “Name-Dropping - The Life and Lies of Alan King” by Alan King with Chris Chase.

July 4

Performers who were asked to star at Grossinger’s on a July 4th or Labor Day Weekend, knew they had made it.

Lawrence Mal Z.

Catskills comic, Mal Z. Lawrence spoke about what happens when gambling comes to the mountains: “The slot machines won’t turn up oranges and lemons and cherries…(it’ll be] prunes.”

Katz, Morris

Morris Katz (1932-2010) a Polish immigrant, was the world’s fastest painter and the world’s most prolific artist. Called “King of Schlock Art,” and the “King of Toilet Paper Art. He could paint art in less than five minutes. . He loaded his van, with 160,000 miles on it, and drove to work in the Catskills—the lobby of Brown’s in the morning, the Pines in the afternoon, and Kushner’s at night.

Kellerman, Max

Kellerman was the owner of the fictional Kellerman Resort in “Dirty Dancing.” Kellerman’s bandleader chips in, “Lots of changes, Max. Lots of changes.” With that, Max sums it all up saying, “It isn’t the changes so much, It’s that it all seems to be ending. You think kids want to come with their parents to take fox-trot lessons? Trips to Europe, that’s what the kids want. Twenty-two countries in three days.” Max continues, “Seems like it’s all slipping away.” It did! Source: “Take My Life, Please!” Henry Youngman with Neal Karlen

Knockers

Knockers were sticks with a wooden ball at the end. They could be found at the Concord Hotel. Some people said

the knockers were there because people were so full after dinner that they were too tired to applaud. Actually, since the dining room was so large, knockers carried the sound better.

Koch, Ed

In 1987, New York’s mayor, Ed Koch, proposed buying the Gibber Hotel in Kiamesha Lake to house the homeless. The idea was opposed by local officials. The hotel, instead, became a religious school, like many old hotels in the Catskills.

“Kokh-Aleyns” / “Kuchaleyns”

A Yiddish name for self-catered boarding houses, literally, “cookalones.” They were frequented by middle and working class Jewish New Yorkers, particularly in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. They grew in part due to “restricted” hotels. The “kokhaleyn” required sociability and a certain competitiveness: the first to get along with those who shared your kitchen, the second to get to the stove before they did. Source: “Live & Be Well”

Kosher Dining Rooms

Borscht-belt dining rooms are strictly kosher. There was no mixing of meat and milk. Some younger guests wanted cream in their coffee and Red Buttons had a solution: he would fill up a fountain pen (“kvalpen”) with cream, make the table rounds at dinner, and give a squirt to whoever didn’t want their coffee black. What did it cost? 25 cents a shpritz.

Lecture

In 1998 Amy Godine gave a talk at the 4th Annual History of the Catskills at the Sunny Oaks Hotel in Woodridge, NY. It was titled, “From Haimish to Highbrow: The Adirondack Alternative”

Levenson, Sam

Levinson first performed at Grossinger’s in the early ‘40s for $40 a show. Larry King said “It was always hard to think of Sam as a comic or a showman, for he was a former schoolteacher.” Who can forget his comments on dieting: “When I was a kid we all overate. The only proof mamma had that she was a good mother was the fact

that her children were fat. To my mother, if you didn’t bulge, you were skinny. I had ‘baby fat’ until I was 37 years old.” Levenson’s routines tended to mirror everyday life.

Mandate for the Dining Room

At Grossinger’s, Mom Grossinger had one mandate for the dining room: “Never let anyone go hungry.”

Mason, Jackie

Jackie Mason, a rabbi, performed in the Catskills, but he never told his father—also a rabbi—that he was running up to the Borsch Belt to work. Source: “Yiddishe Mamas” by Marnie Winston-Macauley

Matchmaking in the Catskill

Matchmaking was serious business in the Catskills. The problem was that on weekdays when husbands and single men were back in the city working, women outnumbered the guys by a margin of four to one. So, the social staff had to take care of the women. Sometimes a husband would tip the tummler before leaving the resort on Sunday night. He would say, “Take care of my wife while I’m away.”

“Monkey Dish

When interviewing for summer staff in the dining room of any Catskill hotel, it seemed as if every 18-year-old applicant claimed a work history of 10 years. There was a question frequently asked of job applicants: “What’ a monkey-dish”? A monkey-dish is a small saucer for desert or fruit. It’s a term used by everyone in the resort area. If the applicant failed to know the answer, it was obvious that they had never served in any Catskill hotel.

Monster (The)

The Concord’s golf course was named “The Monster.” It was among the top 50 courses in the country.

Larry King said, “The menus [at the Catskills hotels] listed a dozen main courses. If you didn’t like one, the waiter would bring another. Everything was included in your See page D6

Tale of Two Women BY TOM MARGENAU

In today’s column, I present emails from two different women. They have two things in common. They are both around age 66. And they are both widows. But there is one key variable. One woman was a stay-at-home mom most of her life. The other worked outside the home. And that makes for a big difference in their Social Security stories. Q: I am about to turn 66 and have finally decided to take Social Security. I have been living off of savings and investments until now. I was planning to file for widow’s benefits off my deceased husband’s record. He died several years ago. He was a banker who made good money and has a very high Social Security benefit -- $2,500 per month. I worked for about 15 years very early in my marriage. So I am due a very small Social Security retirement benefit on my own record. The last time I checked, it was $400. When I went to my local Social Security office, they tried to make me file for my own retirement benefits and then they said I could also get some money from my husband. I told them I just wanted widow’s benefits. They wouldn’t let me do that, so I left in disgust. What can I do about this? A: Before I suggest what you can do, let me explain how things work for a person in your situation. The Social Security Administration would normally recommend that you file for your own retirement benefits first. So they would start out by paying you that $400 rate. Then they would also take a claim for widow’s benefits, and with that, they would supplement your own retirement up to 100 percent of your husband’s rate. In other words, you would get $2,100 on his account to go along with the $400 on your record, taking your total benefits up to the $2,500 rate you’d normally be due on your husband’s record. So why do they bother taking two claims? One reason is that years of experience has taught them that most people like the idea of having at least part of their Social Security check come off of their own work record. And the other reason is simply administrative, and frankly, a little self-serving. You see, a Social Security office gets credit for each claim it takes. And the more claims an office takes, the more staff they get. If I were the manager of the office you went to, I would tell my clerks to try to talk you into filing two claims. Having said that, you have every right to insist on filing only for widow’s benefits. But I hope you see it really doesn’t matter if you file one claim or two. Either way, you are going to get a check for $2,500 deposited into your bank account each month.

Also, though this might upset you, I want to point something out for other people in a similar position. Because you haven’t been working, you could have filed for your own reduced retirement benefits back when you were 62 years old. Then at 66, you could have filed for the higher widow’s benefits on your husband’s record. You’ve sadly thrown away thousands of dollars by not doing that. Maybe you didn’t do that for tax reasons? Whatever the reason, it’s too late now. And before I move on to the next email, I must make one final point. I can hear lots of my readers saying, “Tom, I thought you said a wife can’t take reduced retirement benefits at 62 and switch to higher spousal benefits later on. What gives here?” What gives here is the fact that this woman is a widow. A wife (with a living husband) generally can’t make that switch. But a widow can. Q: I was 66 years old four months ago. I was planning on delaying filing for Social Security until age 70, but recently changed my mind. I have worked most of my life and plan to continue working indefinitely. I am a widow. Social Security records say my full retirement age benefit is $2,340 per month and that my husband’s rate is $2,510. How do you think I should handle my Social Security? A: You should take widow’s benefits now and let your own benefits continue to grow until age 70. So at age 66, you would start getting $2,510 per month from your husband’s account. You are eligible for those benefits even though you still continue to work full time because the earnings penalty rules (that are too complicated to explain here but that I have discussed countless times in other columns) go away once you reach your full retirement age. You could be making a million dollars per year and you’d be due your full Social Security benefits with no penalties imposed. Also, you should claim four months of retroactive benefits back to the month you turned 66. The reason you can claim retroactive benefits while the woman who sent the first email can’t is because the law says no retroactive benefits can be paid before your full retirement age. She is about to turn 66 and I told her she can’t get any past benefits (which she would have been due had she filed earlier) because again, those benefits can’t be paid before age 66. You are age 66 and four months, so you can get those four checks paid to you retroactively. And because you will be delaying your own retirement benefit past your normal full retirement age, you get a two-thirds of one percent credit added to your retirement payment rate for each month you don’t file for those benefits. That comes out to a 32 percent increase

if you wait until age 70 (the maximum age you can delay signing up for retirement benefits). In other word, at age 70, you will stop your widow’s claim and file for retirement benefits and start getting about $3,088 per month. And the reason you can do this and the woman in the first email can’t do this is because her own retirement benefit is so small. It was $400 per month. If

she delayed filing for her benefits until age 70, it would increase to $528. And that’s well below her widow’s rate of $2,500. If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has the answer. Contact him at thomas.margenau@comcast.net. COPYRIGHT 2017 CREATORS.COM

Warren Simmons was the creator and developer of PIER 39, which opened in 1978, and his son, Scooter, daughter-in-law, Nancy, and his grandchildren, Nicki and Ryan, now work running the four Pier 39 businesses still owned by the family. Menu highlights include garlic roasted whole crab, fresh seafood cioppino, mesquite grilled lobster tail, red curry steamed mussels, Anchor Steam battered fish and chips and Pier Market’s award winning clam chowder. In addition to the sourcing of sustainable ingredients for all seafood dishes the menu reflects seasonality, the use of local purveyors, generous portions, and moderate (“non-

tourist”) pricing (mains are priced from around $11 to $30). Pier Market Seafood offers a diverse selection of libations including a wine list that emphasizes California vintages and handcrafted classic, contemporary and signature cocktails, plus intriguing nonalcoholic beverages including a strawberry basil mojito. The selections are wonderful for sharing, especially the starters like sourdough garlic bread, garlic fries (crispy fries tossed with fresh garlic, herbs and topped with parmesan cheese); Crispy Scallops (house-breaded and served with roasted jalapeño aioli); fried calamari coated with sweet & sour sauce; crab cakes, a house specialty, served with a Cajun rémoulade; clams steamed in garlic, butter and white wine; steamed

mussels prepared with onions and peppers in a red curry coconut broth. The restaurant is also very proud of its Cioppino, a classic San Francisco dish, a tomato based seafood stew with fresh fish, mussels, clams, shrimp and crab served over pasta ( for a few dollars more, they remove the crab from the shell). The menu offers tremendous variety and selections – meats to salads, sandwiches, pastas - and the ambiance is casual, pub-ish, great after a day of sightseeing. The restaurant serves until 10 pm. One hour free validated parking in an easily accessed and conveniently located garage adds to the allure of the dining experience. (Pier Market Seafood, Pier 39. San

Names to Know

1. Abraham Brickman, founder, Brickman’s Hotel. 2. Max Levinson, founder of the Tamarack Country Club. 3. Louis and Max Kutscher, invented Kutscher’s Hotel. 4. Jennie Grossinger, a national symbol of Grossinger’s. 5. Julius Slutsky, the former owner of the Nevele. He was a big man, standing 6 feet tall and weighing about 200 lbs. He, and his brother, Ben, developed the Nevele into one of the “big three” resorts in the region, in addition to the Concord and Grossinger’s. 6. Novak family, Laurel’s Country Club 7. Abe Gibber, Hotel Gibber 8. Larry and Cissie Blumberg, Green Acres (now New Hope Community— which serves the developmentally dis-

abled population. One of the darkest moments for Julius Slutsky came in the early 1970s. The federal government charged him and his son with income tax evasion. They both spent about a year in jail.

Paul’s Hotel

Paul’s Hotel, in Swan Lake, drew a crowd of schoolteachers. It was a great tennis resort and ran a tag line that read: “Honeymooners treated with studied neglect.”

Pittsburgh Press, Sun., July 23, 1950

The paper carried the headline: Summer Resorts Boon for New York Entertainers. The Nevele Country Club in Ellenville was started by the Slutsky Family. The resort business really began to boom in the late 1930s and the Nevele began to use B’way entertainers. The resorts operated with “Social Staffs,” young actors and actresses who worked for little more than room and board. From these staffs came Jan Murray, Danny Kaye, Robert Merrill, Jan Pierce and Regina Resnick, to name a few.

Question

Henny Youngman asked, “Where else could a city-bound Jew get not only clean country air, but food of the kind portions your mama used to serve you?” Only in the Catskills!

Raleigh Hotel

In the lobby there were signs like “Please do not walk through lobby in bathing attire.” The Raleigh—and other hotels—had Mambo Night—and dancing would go on till seven in the morning. The women wore elegant dresses. Male performers wore the Machete shirts: big blouse things with white cuffs sticking out of the jacket.

Religious Hotels

Grossinger’s was NOT the MOST RELIGIOUS hotel in the Catskills. The Pioneer, located in nearby South Fallsburgh, was. Guests were forbidden to register or drive cars on the grounds during the Sabbath. On that day all labor, from flipping on light switches to washing dishes, was done exclusively

by non-Jewish help.

Roman, Freddy

Freddy was the Producer of Catskills on Broadway. He said, “From my first job as a social director at the Biltmore Hotel in Woodbridge, to my first booing as a ‘comedian’ at Jebaltowsky’s Mountain View Hotel in Summitville (for $15) and through the ensuing 32 years and thousands of ‘mountain’ jobs later, it is love, pride, and warmth that I still feel for the Catskills.” Source: “Remember the Catskills” by Esterita “Cissie” Blumberg

Ruby the Knish Man

Ruby (1917-1987) is a legend. He sold knishes in Brooklyn and in upstate New York. He drove to all the bungalow colonies (Lansman’s, Sadownicks, Julene’s, etc.). He would don a yarmulke before he drove into the place, and made sure never to come on Saturday’s. “You want some ZALTZ (salt) with that?” his wife would ask, trying to play the Yiddish angle.

Streisand performed at the Concord Hotel before she made Funny Girl. The William Morris Agency said, “Look, you’re getting her for $500. Later on you won’t be able to buy her for anything.” She tore the place apart.

Summer Resort STaff

The dining room (“der estsimer”) positions brought in the largest incomes. “Cissie” Blumberg wrote, “A good waiter will steal for his guest.” Waiters could earn $3,000 to $5,000 by Labor Day.

Unwritten Maxim

At Grossinger’s everyone on the staff accepted the unwritten maxim: “If a guest isn’t having good time, no matter what the reason, it is the fault of the hotel. Something must be done to rectify it.”

“Swanee Syncopators”

When the “Swanee Syncopators” arrived at the Swan Lake Inn, their duties would only BEGIN with leading the band twice a night, seven days a week. They were told that they would also have to double as the resort’s social director.

Raleigh Hotel, South Fallsburg

This was a Shomer Shabbos facility. They still have Bingo six nights a week. No Bingo on Friday nights, on Rosh Hashonah, and Yom Kippur.

Red Apple Restaurant

The Red Apple Restaurant was a

A Guide to the Catskills, Part 2 cafeteria-style restaurant on NY State Route 17. It was a noted way station for people traveling to the hotels of the Catskill Mountains. It was open 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, and was patronized by “Borscht Belt” comedians and professional athletes, as well as families traveling to campgrounds and resorts. In 1966, the Red Apple served one million customers. It served the Who’s Who of entertainment. The Red Apple was featured in several movies, such as Woody Allen’s “Deconstructing Harry,” “A Walk on the Moon,” “Tenderness,” and “Oliver’s Story.” There’s a 2014 book titled “Stop at the Red Apple.” It was sold in 1984 to a Greek businessman who ran it for 21 more years. It closed in 2006.

Queen of the Catskills

Jennie Grossinger was known as the Queen of the Catsckills Resort.

Resident Comic

In 1954, Jackie Mason was one of four resident comics at the Fieldstone Hotel. His pay: $25 a week, plus room and board.

Resorts

Some well-known resorts: Brickman’s, Brown’s Hotel, The Concord, Friar Tuck Inn, Gibber’s, Gilbert’s, Grossinger’s, Granit, The Woodbine Hotel, Kutcher’s, Lansman’s, The Nevele, The Laurels, The Pines, Raleigh, Silverman’s River View Hotel, Stevensville, Tamarack Lodge, The Olympic Windsor Regency…

Salaries

In the 1950s, comedians earned from $100 - $300 at Grossinger’s. Jackie Mason received $300 at Grossinger’s in 1959. In 1973, David Brenner was paid $650 for a show. Billy Crystal in 1976 got $1,000.

Shawanga Lodge

Singers like Gertrude Lawrence and Mimi Benzell performed at Sha Wan Ga Lodge. Some people called it Shvanga Lodge. In Yiddish, the word means pregnant, and people did get pregnant there up to a point. It burned to the ground in 1973. Source: “It Happened in the Catskills” by Myrna Katz Frommer & Harvey Frommer

Sundays

Sundays in the Catskills was unique. Breakfast could include 10 courses with unlimited options—Kippered salmon, Lox and Eggs, blueberry pancakes, Spanish omelettes. Figure on gaining at least 5 lbs. over a weekend.

Talent Night at the Avon Lodge

At Talent Night the guests at the Avon Lodge saw Sid Caesar perform his airplane routine. It actually seemed like he became an airplane. He

also did his penny gum-machine shtik and played saxophone solos.

Top-Flight Acts

Evenings in the Borscht Belt were always filled with top-flight acts: Martin & Lewis, Tony Bennett, Red Buttons, Joe E. Levine, Jimmy Durante, and in the late ‘50s, ELVIS.

Training Camp

Kutcher’s served as the training camp for heavyweight champions like Muhammad Ali, Leon Spinks and Floyd Patterson.

Tummler

A “Tummler” is a “noisemaker” If Buddy Hackett is at your party, you’ve definitely got one. On rainy days the “tummler” was an especially crucial part of the hotel scene, enlivening lobbies and rec rooms and otherwise distracting guests from the thought of how much they were spending to breathe the fresh mountain air that the weather had conspired to deny them. Henny Youngman said that “the professional tummler” is a Jewish tradition that dates back to the Middle Ages. Back then there was a guy named a BADCHEN whose job it was to run around at weddings making lots of slapstick noise. It’s a sacred commandment to be joyous at weddings.” At the Swan Lake Inn a tummler also had to be an emcee, scenic designer, electrician, and sometimes a busboy. Henny Youngman (“Take My Life, Please!”) wrote, …”the sheer volume of gags I had to generate while tummling in the borscht belt left me forever jokepoor. The problem intensified when I decided to come back several more summers. Because most of the hotels’ business were repeaters, I couldn’t tell the same stuff I’d done the year before. For a tummler in this distress, thankfully, there was a black market in jokes. For a price, or for a swap in kind, stolen routines could be had in Kellogg’s Cafeteria on 49th Street and 7th Avenue, the Theatrical Drugstore on 46th, or the Palace Cafeteria west of 6th Avenue.” Some famous tummlers included Danny Kaye, Jan Peerce, Jan Murray, Tony Curtis, Jerry Lewis, Phil Silvers, Joey Adams, Jack Carter and Phil Foster.

“Sweet Lorraine”

The Heien Hotel in S. Fallsburg, was the location of the movie, “Sweet Lorraine,” starring Maureen Stapleton It was destroyed in 2008. The movie is the story of the elderly owner of an aging but still beloved (“balibt”) Catskill’s landmark inn who must decide whether to make the necessary repairs to the hotel or to sell the land to developers. It’s a heart-warming sliceof-life drama.

Typical Catskills audience

Jack Eagle said, “Today there’s no longer such a thing as a typical Catskill audience. You can have kosher butchers and the New York State militia in the same audience—that’s like meat and dairy…If you want a typical ‘Catskill’ audience, they’re all in the condos in Florida.”

Yom Kippur (at Grossinger’s)

Staff schedules were rearranged on Yom Kippur so that only gentiles were working that day. Yom Kippur was God’s Day, not the Grossinger’s Hotel Day.

Passover at Grpssomger’s

All the china, silverware and cooking stoves had to be specially koshered for the holiday. One year a rabbi grew so zealous with his torch, that he blew out all the electrical wiring and the guests almost had no seder dinner.

“Professor” Irwin Corey

Corey, “The World’s Foremost Authority,” performed in the Catskills. “He was as unpredictable on stage as off, and always brilliant” according to “Cissie” Blumberg. Blumberg tells the story about Corey. Irwin had arrived early for an evening performance and decided to replace the maitre d’ and seat the guests. A particularly heavy (“zoftic”) lady arrived alone at the dining room door. Corey greeted her, “Good evening, madam. How many are you?”!

Waldorf in the Catskills

According to Morris Freedman, “Grossinger’s is to resort hotels as Bergdorf Goodman is to department stores, Cadillac to cars, mink to furs, and Tiffany to jewelers, but only roughly. It has been called “Waldorf in the Catskills.” Paul Grossinger, heir to the dynasty, conceded this when, under challenge, he modified the slogan, “Grossinger’s Has Everything” to “Grossinger’s Has Everything for the Kind of Person Who Likes to Come to Grossinger’s.” Source: “From the American Scene: The Green Pastures of Grossingers,” Commentary, Morris Freedman, 7/1/54.

Zeydes & Bobes (grandfathers & grandmothers)

Do reminisce with your family members how Grossinger’s once attracted 150,000 guests a year. Try to explain how it began life in 1914 when Selig Grossinger, a pants-presser in the city, bought a run-down farm in Ferndale hoping to improve his life. Marjorie Gottlieb Wolfe spent many vacations with her parents at Grossinger’s, The Concord, and the Nevele.

As much time as kids spend in school, there will be times when they are left to their own devices, and during these times it’s easy for them to forgot classroom lessons. Sometimes called “summer learning loss” or “summer slide,” this forgetfulness sees many students fail to retain all of their lessons over prolonged breaks from school. Studies indicate that students score lower on standardized tests at the end of the summer compared to their performance on the same tests at the beginning of summer. Anywhere from between one to three month’s worth of educational achievement can dissipate during prolonged breaks from the classroom. To help ensure that those hard-earned lessons are not so easily forgotten, parents can help children remain intellectually engaged in various ways over school breaks. • Stick to a schedule. Try to maintain a schedule similar to school, with children waking at the same time each day and going to bed at similar hours. This will make it much easier to get back into a routine when a new school year begins. • Encourage reading. Set aside time for reading each day. All it generally takes is 15 to 30 minutes of reading per day for kids to remember their vocabulary lessons and maintain their fluency and comprehension skills. Children may enjoy picking their own books rather than

having a required reading list. • Keep a math book handy. On long car trips or rainy days, children can do a few math problems to keep their skills sharp. This will help keep learning loss to a minimum. Math workbooks may be available at bookstores, or parents can look online or ask a teacher for a summer to-do packet. • Plan educational trips. Vacations and day trips can be fun, entertaining and educational all at the same time. Science centers, museums and living history locations can bring to life information learned in the classroom, even on family vacations. • Learn at camp. Many children attend camp for a portion of their school breaks. Look for camps that do not simply babysit children, but engage them through enrichment activities. • Take a class. Children and families can learn together by exploring new skills. Enroll in something educational and enjoyable, such as a music or dance class, a STEM seminar or something else that engages the mind and body. This gives everyone a chance to learn something new and have a great time together as a family. Parents and educators can reduce lesson loss over school breaks by encouraging families to remain intellectually engaged in any way they can.

On Friday March 31st 2017 Robbins Lane Elementary School in Syosset held its first International Night. This was a program that was being planned since the beginning of the school year. Thirteen countries were represented through informational booths throughout the perimeter of the school gym. Children had an opportunity to visit these booths and learn about the cultures of the country. Parents of the school took the initiative to plan these booths and the structure of the event. Children were welcomed to International Night by receiving a “passport” which they could get stamped at each of the booths they visited. In addition to the fun booths, there were cultural presentations which included dances and performances from a number of countries. The last hour of

the event was the highlight in which the “Cultural Food Court” was opened and kids and parents got a chance to sample food from a number of countries. Each of the 10 countries who participated in the Cultural Food Court had about an average of 3 dishes which really provided a variety for everyone’s taste buds! As children were so enthusiastic to try out new flavors, parents were thrilled to have their children expanding their food repertoire!!! At the end of the event many exclaimed that this was one of Robbins Lane’s best events and they were grateful for an opportunity for their children to really appreciate the cultures of the world. A special thanks to all the vendors who donated towards the event, Robbins Lane principal, staff and PTA.
