Residents comment on Plainview condominium development

BEST IN NY STATE

BY GARY SIMEONE

Pictured from left, Syosset High School English Coordinator Catherine Longmore (left) congratulates Sarah Wang, Scott Magid and Jillian Goldberg for their NCTE Achievement Awards in Writing, along with their teacher Jamie Budolato. Three student writers from Syosset High School have won the Achievement Award in Writing, given by the National Council of Teachers of English. Congratulations to Jillian Goldberg, Scott Magid and Sarah Wang for submitting three works identified as “Superior” by the NCTE. Syosset High School is the only school in New York State with three award winners. This year’s theme was “With Great Power Comes Great

Responsibility,” as participants submitted three entries– two in poetry form and one narrative. They were asked to evaluate modern society on the degree to which people who are privileged with power demonstrate responsibility while posing the question “How are we doing?” They also had the option to draw a converse argument regarding those with little power who demonstrate responsibility, with a wide scope of subjects ranging from global figures

or people who are close to the writer on a personal level. National judges evaluated each piece of writing for content, purpose, audience, tone, word choice, organization, development and style. Students whose writing received superior scores are awarded a certificate of recognition, and their name and their school’s name appear on the NCTE website.

A group of Plainview residents voiced their opinions on the new Housing Development project, Country Pointe at Plainview at last Tuesday’s Town of Oyster Bay meeting. Some of the residents were in favor of the project and others thought that it might cause traffic congestion problems in the area. Currently there are 175 individuals under contract who are scheduled to move into Country Pointe. Marsha Elowsky, of Richfield Ct. in Plainview said she and her husband were planning to move to the development and is very excited about the move. “For the record we are adamantly in favor of Country Pointe and I’m anxious to move in,” said Elowsky. She said that she and her husband have bought new rugs that are already fading and ready to be put down in their new home. A Plainview resident, who currently resides at Briarwood Lane said she is very much in favor of the condominium project and also in favor of the new Shoprite grocery store extended hours for shoppers. George Rosenbaum, a Plainview resident for more than 40 years said he was anxiously awaiting the opening of County Pointe. “I’ve waited a long time for the project and requested the Board to do what it can to move the project along,” said Rosenbaum. “I have put my house on the market and am anxiously awaiting moving into what will be an outstanding and beautiful place.” Another Plainview resident said she was not in favor of the condominium project due to the possible traffic issues it would cause in the area. “I know everyone who has bought is anxious to move in I think we all need to take a breather,” said the resident. She said she lives off of Plainview Road near Old Bethpage and that at certain times traffic buildup in the area is intolerable. “At times I have to wait three or four lights to come out of Plainview Road because where that junction meets it is crazy busy. I see trucks come down Old Bethpage Road, trucks down Round Swamp Road, trucks down Old Country Road and the traffic has gotten worse.” She said her major concern was the increase of truck traffic loading and unloading in the areas and at later times during the day and night.

Arthritis linked to another condition

People who see dermatologists for the skin condition psoriasis should not take the presence of joint aches and pains lightly, as the two things might be connected. The National Psoriasis Foundation notes that psoriasis is a precursor to psoriatic arthritis in 30 percent of patients.

ly affects the large joints, especially the lower extremities, distal joints of the fingers and toes and the back and sacroiliac joints of the pelvis. Early recognition, diagnosis and treatment of psoriatic arthritis are crucial to relieving inflammation and preventing permanent joint damage.

What is psoriatic arthritis? Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition that affects the rate of skin cell reproduction. People with psoriasis may experience redness, itchiness and raised bumps (plaques) of skin on various areas of their bodies. Psoriatic arthritis is a chronic form of arthritis that typically occurs in people with skin psoriasis, but also can be present in those without the skin condition, but particularly among those who have relatives with psoriasis. The American College of Rheumatology says that psoriatic arthritis typical-

Symptoms Symptoms of psoriatic arthritis can develop gradually or quickly, and some symptoms can be severe. NPF indicates that common symptoms of psoriatic arthritis include • morning stiffness and tiredness; • tenderness, pain and swelling over tendons; • swollen fingers and toes; • reduced range of motion; • nail changes, including pitting, and • redness and pain in the eyes.

similar to rheumatoid arthritis, gout and reactive arthritis. Doctors will rule out other symptoms that may be indicative of those conditions. The American College of Rheumatology also indicates that psoriatic arthritis is typically blood test negative. The diagnosis is typically made by a rheumatologist after reviewing a clinical history and performing a physical exam. Treatment Doctors will need to assess symptoms before deciding on a course of treatment. Mild cases may respond to over-thecounter, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen. However, antirheumatic drugs and newer biologic drugs may be prescribed to treat more aggressive cases of psoriatic arthritis. Corticosteroid injections can be useful for swollen joints, and surgery may be necessary to repair badly damaged

joints. Individuals who suspect their arthritis may be linked to psoriasis can first speak with a dermatologist or primary care physician. The NPF also offers a screening tool at www.psoriasis.org/ psa-screening.

Thanks to increased awareness about the perils of exposure to ultraviolet rays and skin damage, a greater number of people routinely apply sunscreen before spending time outdoors. But while people take steps to prevent sunburns, skin cancer and premature aging, they may fail to consider that UV rays also can damage their eyes. Just as people protect their skin from the sun, so, too, should they safeguard their eyes. Prevent Blindness America warns that the sun is comprised of UVA and UVB rays. UVA rays may hurt central vision by damaging the macula, or a part of the retina at the back of the eye. UVB rays typically affect the front part of the eye or the lens and cornea. The following are some common eye conditions that can be linked to exposure to UV rays. Photokeratitis Excessive amounts of UV radiation over a short period of time can cause photokeratitis, which is equivalent to a sunburn of the eye. Photokeratitis may occur after spending long hours at the beach or skiing without proper eye protection. UVB rays cause photokeratitis, and these rays can burn the cornea, potentially causing pain and temporary vision loss.

Macular degeneration According to the American Optometric Association, macular degeneration is a deterioration of the part of the retina that is responsible for sharp, central vision. In addition to UV rays, chronic exposure to shorter-wavelength visible blue and violet light can be harmful to the retina. The sun and many artificial light sources, such as LEDs and smartphones, emit blue light. Some blue light can be beneficial, but some can be harmful to the eyes. Lenses that absorb harmful blue light or block it can prevent retinal damage. Pterygium Pterygium is a growth that forms on the outer portion of the eye, or the cornea and conjunctiva. The World Health Organization says that prolonged UV exposure can contribute to this condition. Pterygium may extend over the cornea and reduce vision, requiring surgical removal. Cataracts UV exposure also can contribute to the formation of cataracts. Prevent Blindness America says a cataract is a clouding of the eye’s natural lens, the part of the eye that focuses the light people see. Sun protection Sunglasses should completely cover the eyes, including the skin on the eyelids

A wide array of sunglasses can protect eyes from potentially damaging ultraviolet radiation. and under the eye, to provide adequate protection for the eyes. Wraparound frames will offer additional protection to those who spend a lot of time outdoors in bright sunlight. The AOA says sunglasses should also do the following. • Block out 99 to 100 percent of both UVA and UVB radiation. • Screen out between 75 and 90 percent of visible light.

Friday, June 30, 2017 The Litmor News Group

Protect eyes from ultraviolet rays

• Have lenses that are perfectly matched in color and free of distortion and imperfection. • Have lenses that are gray for proper color recognition. Consumers should speak with an eye doctor if they have additional questions about eye protection. Prescription lenses can be tinted and treated to offer UV protection.

On the River Inn Meets Challenge of Woodstock, Vermont’s ‘Quintessential New England’ Reputation

BY KAREN RUBIN

Imagine the pressure on innkeepers wanting to build new in the historic village universally known as “Quintessential New England” with its amazing array of

stunning architecture from the 1800s, including the classic Woodstock Inn that graces the village center just across from the green; with its covered wood bridges, classic New England white steepled churches and

homes that proudly display dates from the 1800s. Family owned and operated, the On the River Inn succeeds in stellar fashion, seamlessly integrating the charm of a traditional Vermont inn with

lovely vintage and traditional touches while embracing the best of modern design and amenities – large open floor plan, high ceilings, full-length

windows from which natural light streams in. Indeed, it was deservedly named by Conde Nast Traveler in 2015 as one of the Top Hotels to Open and “the place to visit”. The inn is conveniently located two miles from the picture book village of Woodstock on six acres fronting the Ottauquechee River, so you have easy access to lovely shops, galleries, restaurants without the bustle. The Inn on the River is selected as our hub for the Discovery Bicycle Tours weekend biking trip (see story). This caps an exceptionally designed program – I mean, you’re in Vermont - in Woodstock, no less - but that is not enough to make a fantastic bike trip. I really appreciate this as I take note of how they have structured the itinerary – the choice of roads (this is a shared-road,, not a bike trail experience) and routes that has to be within the realm of do-ability, as well as stunningly scenic (what you imagine Vermont to be), with decent road conditions (I am amazed at the roads that are unpaved dirt and gravel. But the choice of accommodations is what really caps off the whole Vermont experience. (800-257-2226. 802-457-3553, discoverybicycletours.com) The low-rise inn is laid out so that each room has view of expansive lawn that stretches to the Ottauquechee River; a balcony (or patio) with rocking chairs, firepits and gazebo (just waiting for a wedding). The low-rise inn sprawls out horizontally yet is intimate. It may well be feng shui but there is such a sense of peacefulness when you walk in, which also reflects the very welcoming staff. It offers a stunning lap-size indoor pool with gorgeous blue and white tiles, kept to a perfect temperature for swimming, with adjacent hot tub, and dry sauna and fitness center. There is also an expansive library; games and entertainment lounge and toddler play room. Quirky Vermont antiques and vintage pieces make you smile with their whimsy when you come upon them in the hallways– an old TV, a telephone, Henke ski boots, US Post Office metal mail box door serve as room #s. The hallways are bathed in

natural light that streams through fulllength windows – a modern touch which also contributes to the feeling of well-being. The restaurant, bar and spacious lounge with fireplace is laid out in an open-floor plan though the room doesn’t feel large because of intimate sitting areas with plush leather chairs and sofas, that make it feel cozy. The 506 Bistro serves a seasonal menu emphasizing Vermont specialties like Yankee Pot roast, a organic burger (outstanding) sourced from a nearby farm, fresh strawberry shortcake with Vermont berries. The menu for our group is very varied so there are fish selections (grilled salmon), pasta, meet selections, vegetarian options (ratatouille) and Caesar salad with ahi tuna. The antique bar and the furnishings of the “kitchen,” where each morning we help ourselves to a buffet breakfast, just add to the pleasant ambiance. The inn serves a complimentary country breakfast, has coffee/tea out all day (as well as coffee maker, microwave and refrigerator in the room), free WiFi and parking. Construction is top quality; the furnishings in neutral brown, beige and white. The bedroom is spacious with a king-sized bed, pull out sofa, lounge chair, flat-screen TV; the bathroom is marble with a warming rack. On the River Inn, which is very much a four-season retreat (Killington, Pico, Suicide Six are nearby for winter skiing), is one of several inns owned and operated by a couple with Vermont roots: Aaren Macksoud is originally from Woodstock; his family owns and operates a maple syrup farm and a Vermont country store). They also own hotels in East Africa (where they live now): Palacina Berlin, Palacina Hotel Nairobi, Baraza Resort and Spa Zanzibar, Breezes Beach Club and Spa Zanzibar, The Palms Zanzibar and Zawadi Hotel Zanzibar. They also own and operate Tour Africa Safaris, a tour company that specialized in safaris to East Africa and Palacina Interiors one of East Africa’s most prestigious and internationally recognized Interior Design Studios and Retail Stores specializing in Hospitality and Restaurant Design. (Now I understand where the lovely design comes from.) “We work with a set of principles

which we firmly believe customers recognize and appreciate: Maintain international hotel standards, incorporate a beautiful design which reflects the destination, create a feeling of home and ensure that the clients understand from the moment they arrive that the property is family owned. The attention to detail, the emphasis on creating a home away from home, warm hospitality and personalized

service have always been our guiding principles.” Besides being so near Woodstock, nearby attractions include the Billings Farm and Museum, Killington, the Longtail Brewery, King Arthurs Flour.

W R I T E R’S C O R N E R

Catching up with an old high school friend BY CLAIRE LYNCH One Sunday morning a few years ago I was sitting down to breakfast when the phone rang. The voice on the phone was a voice from the past. My high school girlfriend was up from Pennsylvania, visiting her parents, brothers and sisters in Rockville Centre, our home town. She wanted to know if I had time to get together with her. “Yes, of course I have time,” I said excitedly. “Let’s meet tonight for dinner.” Canceling my other dinner plans, I hurriedly made reservations at a convenient restaurant for us. Sarah was someone I hadn’t seen in several years. She was one of those high school friends of mine that I thought about all the time. Sarah was the one, after all, who taught me how to put on makeup without looking like a clown, how to take buses all over Long Island, mostly to Roosevelt Field, how to find all of the scenic spots in Greenwich Village, where to hang out at Long Beach, who Van Morrison and Willie Nelson were, how to look more grownup on those occasions when I wanted to, how to wear spike heels comfortably and how to look interested at high school proms when I was usually thinking of being somewhere else. She was brave and always willing to try something new. Sarah was warm, witty, unconventional, creative and at times, challenging of authority. She liked going against the status quo. She liked to push the envelope. Life was always interesting whenever Sarah was around. I come from a family of eight people (6 kids) and she comes from a family of seven (5 kids) so we certainly had lots to talk about and we were constantly comparing notes about what our brothers and sisters were up to. We constantly kept track of them and either approved or disapproved. Sarah’s oldest sister had gone off to college in Boston and my oldest brother commuted to Fordham. We agreed that they both were becoming grownups – and that had its good and bad points. The restaurant we went to was equidistant from my apartment and Sarah’s parents’ house, strategically located in

downtown Rockville Centre. I parked my car in a municipal lot and checked my watch. I was on time and looking forward to seeing my old friend. Settling into a booth in the restaurant, I ordered a soda and waited for Sarah. She came rushing in 20 minutes late. Once she spotted me, she came to a halt. “Gosh, you look terrific,” she said. “Now fill me in on the last several years. Christmas cards just don’t tell the whole story.’’ We spent the next five hours recalling the past and laughing at some of the pranks we’d had the gall to pull. Sarcasm was one of our finer traits in high school, and we reverted to ‘’ranking’’ on our old alma mater - the high school we went to in Rockville Centre and made fun of every minute we were there. Gym teachers and science labs were natural targets of our humor. As seniors, we couldn’t wait to flee Long Island for the Big Apple and worlds beyond. Sarah and I also fell into our girlhood habit of completing each other’s sentences and anticipating what the other would say. We didn’t end up filling each other in on the last several years - except for marriages, births and other family news. We could tell how time had treated us just by looking in each other’s eyes. I did confess to following in my father’s footsteps, commuting to a 9-to-5 job and dressing for success (something we swore we’d never do), and she admitted that she still liked to rebel. ‘’No traditional job for me,’’ Sarah announced. ‘’I still do things my way.’’ Her way wasn’t paying the rent, however, and now that Sarah was back on Long Island, she realized that it wasn’t so bad. ‘’Except for the traffic jams, and enormous lines for movies. Movies are never sold out in Pennsylvania. Not even on a Saturday night.’’ I tried to imagine what she was telling this Brooklyn native and it was kind of hard to picture. I wasn’t used to that much spaciousness. “They take the phrase ‘personal space’ to a new level,” Sarah added. “It’s rural country in that part of Pennsylvania and the houses and population are much more spread out than in

Nassau County.” She lived in the Amish Country in Pennsylvania and people had to slow down to watch out for the horses and buggies that moved around so frequently. Plus, she said, people in that area just seem to like having a slower way of life. They also pride themselves on their welcoming committee. Whenever anyone new moves into their town or village, someone welcomes them with a homemade basket of muffins or cookies or a dinner presented with smiles and introductions all around. Sarah liked tasting that home cooking. Over the years she also learned more about cooking Amish food. She’d heard about it back here on Long Island, of course, but she tried some new recipes while living there. She had a husband and son to cook for - as well as neighbors that she would invite over - so she said that she got pretty good at making chicken pot pies from scratch, as well as roast turkey complete with stuffing, green beans, homemade gravy and biscuits. Sarah’s meatloaf was excellent and she also did a great job at preparing roast pork along with mashed potatoes, sauerkraut and applesauce. I’m told that she bakes some terrific blueberry pies and rhubarb pies. Sarah added that now she could tell the difference between something that was store bought or homemade – and she preferred homemade every time. Although Sarah dreamed of going to college, right after high school graduation she went to Manhattan to visit for a while and then to Pennsylvania where she started working at a full-time job. She was still working steadily and thinking about taking some computer classes at night at a college in Pennsylvania, but Sarah’s parents had suggested moving home for a while. ‘’Maybe it’s not such a bad idea,’’ Sarah whispered to me as we lingered over coffee. ‘’It’s funny how I couldn’t wait to leave high school and see the world, but now I see how appealing Long Island is.’’ She mentioned the sandy beaches, the ocean’s waves, the sunrises and sunsets, and more. Sarah and I were in the honors classes all throughout high school and every

September when we got our schedules we were delighted because we were in the same classes – all except for the foreign language. Throughout high school I took Spanish and Sarah chose French. We always compared notes on who we thought our best teachers were – and sometimes we disagreed about that. We also disagreed on what our favorite subjects were. Mine was English, naturally, and Sarah’s was math. We read “A Clockwork Orange” at the same time and compared notes. She told me about “Jonathan Livingston Seagull” and I recommended “The Great Gatsby” which was not exactly light reading but it’s a classic - and the fictional story by F. Scott Fitzgerald was allegedly set in Great Neck and Little Neck. Together we saw the movie “To Sir With Love” which starred Sidney Poitier as teacher Mark Thackeray. He taught in a high school in London’s East End which was a lot different from the high school we went to. In high school I was in the marching band and orchestra and so was Sarah. I played the trombone and the baritone horn and Sarah played the clarinet and occasionally the flute. Once in a while when we goofed around we would trade the horns for the woodwinds just to see what would happen but we didn’t have much luck. It didn’t sound very pretty. I hardly made any noise when I blew into the clarinet and when Sarah tried playing my trombone it sounded awful. I’ve heard the sound of elephants roaring when they want to scare away predators in the jungle and that’s pretty much what it sounded like. I decided to stick with the brass horns and Sarah stuck with the woodwinds. One time we tinkered with the bassoon but neither of us got anywhere with that. After leaving the restaurant we both sat in my car for a little while telling more stories and listening to an oldies station on the radio. Some of our favorite songs from the 1960s and 1970s came on and of course we not only knew all of the words but we couldn’t resist singing along. Some of them were: See page D5

Neighbors Helping Neighbors with Social Security Issues BY TOM MARGENAU

Q: I have a young 30-something neighbor who stopped working a few years ago to raise a family. She told me that she got a letter from the government telling her that if she doesn’t return to work soon, she will lose all the Social Security credits she earned while she was working. Because I am getting Social Security, she thinks I am an expert on such matters. But I haven’t a clue what to tell her. Can you help? A: I’m not really sure what kind of “letter from the government” your neighbor is talking about. But I can tell you that no one loses Social Security credits. They are good for life. Here is my educated guess as to what happened. I’ll bet she requested and then received an earnings and benefit statement from the Social Security Administration. That statement gives estimates of future Social Security benefits. And somewhere in that statement, it might have said she will lose her potential eligibility for Social Security disability benefits if she doesn’t start working again soon. To qualify for Social Security disability benefits, you need to have recent work credits on your Social Security account. Usually, you need to have worked and earned 20 credits in the 10-year period prior to becoming disabled. And just so everyone understands: You get one credit for each $1,300 earned. But no one can earn more than four credits each year. In other words, once you make $5,200, you’ve earned all the Social Security credits you can get for the year. You said your friend stopped working several years ago, so at some point in the not-too-distant future she will no longer meet that “20 credits in the last 10 year” rule and will lose, at least temporarily, her eligibility for Social Security disability benefits. Once she returns to work, she will eventually get that coverage back. And by the way, the rules are different for Social Security retirement benefits. The law says you need 40 credits to qualify for such benefits. And those credits can be earned anytime during your life. Q: I have some very nice neighbors who are having a hard time making ends meet. They are husband and wife, both of whom have what I assume is a mild form of Down syndrome. I will call them Paul and Mary. I think Paul is in his late 60s and Mary is in her early 60s. As far as I know, they both worked much of their adult lives. She is on Social Security. I’m not sure if it is retirement or disability. He is still working. He does minor clerical work for the federal government. I’ve been told he’s been doing the same job for about 33 years and that

he is a GS-3. (I’m not sure what that means!) They are such a sweet couple. Is there any kind of disability that he can get from Social Security to help them out? How about SSI? A: I’m sorry, but Paul won’t be eligible for Social Security disability benefits for several reasons. The first is because he doesn’t meet the legal definition of disability for Social Security purposes. You do not qualify for such benefits just because you have a disability. Instead, you are eligible if you have a disabling condition that keeps you from working. Because Paul is working, he is not legally disabled. Even if he wasn’t working, the fact that he is over age 66 means he can’t get disability benefits. Once you reach that age milestone, you can only get retirement benefits. But that brings up another possibility. Paul might be eligible for Social Security retirement benefits IF he has been paying Social Security taxes. You said he’s worked for the feds for about 33 years. Anyone hired by the federal government after Jan. 1, 1984 has been covered by Social Security. If he was hired before that date, he is probably paying into the Civil Service Retirement System, not Social Security. If he is covered by Social Security, he could sign up for retirement benefits tomorrow. Once you are over age 66, you can get Social Security checks even if you are working full time. But if he is a CSRS employee, he won’t be able to sign up for his federal pension until he retires. You asked if they can get SSI. The answer is no. Supplemental Security Income is a federal welfare program that pays a small monthly stipend to the elderly poor (and to indigent disabled people). As a general rule, if an older couple already has income over about $1,100 per month, they won’t qualify. I’m not sure what Mary’s Social Security check is. But as a GS-3 (GS is the pay scale for federal employees), Paul is probably making about $24,000 per year. So that is well above the SSI income threshold. Q: I have a 62-year-old neighbor who just signed up for his Social Security. He tried to get disability benefits, but was turned down. Yet he gets VA disability. You would think that if one branch of the federal government says he’s disabled, that should be good enough for another branch! A: Well, you might think that. But you’d be wrong. And that’s because the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Social Security Administration run entirely different disability programs with entirely different sets of rules. For example, the VA awards benefits based on degrees of disability. And you get those benefits whether you can work or not. For example, your neighbor might be getting a 10 percent VA disability. Or

maybe a 50 percent disability. But for SSA, it’s all or nothing. A person must be 100 percent disabled to get Social Security disability benefits. And as I explained in the answer to the question above, the inability to work is the key to getting Social Security disability. The law says you must be unable to do any kind of work, and you must be expected to be out of work for at least a year, to qualify for Social

Security disability benefits. If that answer doesn’t satisfy your neighbor, he can always appeal his case to SSA. He has 60 days from the date his disability claim was denied to ask for a review. If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has the answer. Contact him at thomas.margenau@comcast.net. COPYRIGHT 2017 CREATORS.COM

Catching up with an old high school friend C ontinued from page D3 “Sweet Cherry Wine” by Tommy James and the Shondells which in part goes: “Come on everyone we gotta get together now Oh yeah, love’s the only thing that matters anyhow And the beauty of life can only survive If we love one another …” And I couldn’t resist pointing out whenever the brass flourish came on. It was great! Sarah liked hearing the flute solo that fades out at the end of the song. That was cool! We also listened to George McCrae sing the words to “Rock Your Baby:” “Woman, take me in your arms Rock your baby Woman, take me in your arms Rock your baby …” We cranked up the volume on the car radio and sang even louder when we heard Bob Dylan sing “Mr. Tambourine Man:” “Hey, Mr. Tambourine man, play a song for me I’m not sleepy and there is no place I’m going to Hey, Mr. Tambourine man, play a song for me In the jingle jangle morning I’ll come following you …” Any songs from the 1960s and early 1970s were fine by us as Sarah and I had our mini-reunion. The next day Sarah drove back to Pennsylvania and she said that she would keep her options open about Long Island. We email back and forth every so often and the last thing I heard is that Sarah and her family moved to Florida. “I want the warm weather and sunny days,” she wrote in a recent email. “I love the Amish country and all that but I’m ready for some much milder winters. We’ll keep in touch!” So the next time Sarah calls me out of the blue and says that she wants to get together for lunch or dinner, I’ll be ready. It’s always fun catching up with Sarah!

Fifth Avenue Museum Mile Festival Showcases Exhibits Not to Be Missed This Summer BY KAREN RUBIN

Even if you were unable to get to the once-a-year Museum Mile Festival along Fifth Avenue on June 13, when six museums (some of them with pricey admissions) throw their doors open to one and all for free, it provided a marvelous preview of some spectacular exhibits that are on through the summer or fall. At the Metropolitan Museum of Art, at the southern “border” of Museum Mile, I visited the Irving Penn Centennial, a marvelous survey of this brilliant photographer’s career and an opportunity to see the museum quality prints that would have been seen in the pages of important magazines like Vogue; the exhibit is on through July 30, 2017. I went from Irving Penn to the Age of Empires exhibit of breathtaking sculpture and artifacts from the Qin and Han dynasties, spanning 221 BC to 220 AD, including near life-size but extraordinarily realistic statues of

terracotta warriors from Xian (so lifelike they appear to breathe) that I had seen for the first time when I visited what was at the time newly uncovered site in 1978 in China. This important exhibit is on view through July 16, 2017. Then, I couldn’t resist, I luxuriated in the galleries devoted to Impressionists and Post-Impressionists. Outside, the Met Museum hosted performance art – a troupe of dancers whose movements formed artistic poses. (My favorite time to visit is on a Friday or Saturday evening when the Met is open late, has music on the mezzanine; favorite place to eat is in the American Café in the sculpture garden; also, take a docent-led “Highlights” tour, which brings you all around the museum.) The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1000 Fifth Avenue (at 82nd Street), New York, NY 10028, (212) 535-7710 http:// www.metmuseum.org/. (My clever strategy was to start at the Met at 5 pm, giving me an extra hour of the Museum Mile Festival in order to cover more territory.)

I next visit the Neue Galerie New York and get my annual “fix” of the breathtaking “Woman in Gold” and other Gustav Klint paintings (Klint has become one of my favorite artists). The Austrian Masterworks exhibit is a celebration of the 15th anniversary of the museum’s founding, highlighting Gustav Klint, Oskar Kokoschka, Alfred Kubin and Egon Schiele. Neue Galerie New York, 1048 Fifth Avenue (at 86th Street), New York, NY 10028, (212) 628-6200, http://www. neuegalerie.org/. The Solomon R.Guggenheim Museum, which always gets an enormous crowd for the Museum Mile festival, is featuring “Visionaries: Creating a Modern Guggenheim,” “Hugo Boss Prize 2016: Anicka Yi, Life is Cheap” Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, 1071 Fifth Avenue (at 88th Street) New York, NY 10128, (212) 4233500, https://www.guggenheim.org// Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum, which is part of the Smithsonian Institutions, a collection

established by Sarah and Eleanor Hewitt as the Cooper Union Museum for the Arts of Decoration in 1897, housed in an exquisite mansion, is presenting a marvelous exhibit, “The Jazz Age: American Style in the 1920s” – bringing together the design elements of the era through a range of furnishings, architecture, clothing, paintings and music, and what made the designs so distinctive and reflective of cultural trends of the time. For example, “Bending the Rules,” the cross-pollination of American and European artists (“A Smaller World”), the infatuation with technology and machines. One of the special delights of the Cooper Hewitt is their interactive opportunities to create designs. Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian National Design Museum, 2 East 91st Street (off Fifth Avenue) New York, NY 10128, 212-849-8400, http://www. cooperhewitt.org/ The Jewish Museum’s special exhibit this season also focuses on the 1920s, featuring the painter and poet and

exemplar of the avant-garde, Florine Stettheimer. This was all new to me – I had never heard of her, or her incredible sisters, before (their independence, feminism and stunning range of creativity reminded me of the Bronte sisters, except these ladies did not keep their creative output a secret). The Jewish Museum, 1109 Fifth Avenue, (between 92nd & 93rd Streets), New York, NY 10128, (212) 423-3200, www.thejewishmuseum.org. The two exhibits – at the Cooper Hewitt and the Jewish Museum – are that much more inspiring to see contiguously, to have this extraordinary in-depth insight into the Jazz Age, a time of tumultuous change in culture, social mores and political currents on a scale that only recurred 40 years later, in the 1960s, and now. I became intrigued when I heard of the Jewish Museum’s exhibit at the Jazz Age Lawn Party on Governors Island in June (you have another opportunity to enjoy this fantastic festival August 26 & 27, jazzagelawnparty.com) From there I walked further north, to just about the top of the Museum Mile with only about an hour to go of the festival. The Museum of the City of New York always has smart, clever exhibits. The not-to-be missed exhibit, “New York at its Core,” that is on now is in three parts, in three different galleries. It explores the essential question, “What makes New York New York?” (Answer: Money, Diversity, Density, Creativity) and takes the city from its very beginnings (room-sized images of neighborhoods morph from centuries ago into today), to its development as a melting pot for cultures, and then lets viewers imagine what the city of the future should look like (“Future City Lab”) and how it should solve the challenges of affordable housing, greenspace, environment, transit, and so forth. One of the most interesting parts is a computergenerated animation that puts you into the scene. Museum of the City of New York, 1220 Fifth Avenue (at 104th Street), New York, NY 10029 (212) 534-1672, http://www.mcny.org/ Then, at the north end of the Museum Mile, El Museo Del Barrio is featuring “Belkis Ayon: Nkame” and “A Retrospective of Cuban Printmaker Belkis Ayon” El Museo del Barrio, 1230 Fifth Avenue (at 104th Street), New York, NY 10029, (212) 831-7272 (http://www.elmuseo.org/) ____________________ © 2017 Travel Features Syndicate, a division of Workstyles, Inc.

Pet CPR & First Aid Class

Do you know how to help your pet in an emergency?

Last Hope is hosting a Pet CPR & First Aid course, together with Paws N Claws 911, on Sunday, July 16th from 12 to 4 PM. The class will be held at the Bide-a-Wee building, across the parking lot from the Last Hope adoption center, at 3300 Beltagh Avenue in Wantagh. Taught with a “real world” approach by a 25+ year pre-hospital care provider and educator, training is geared toward pet parents, pet care professionals, animal rescue volunteers and emergency service personnel. It includes lecture and demonstration with an emphasis on hands-on practice to ensure proficiency in the life saving skills taught. Cost is $65 and includes a detailed handbook, certificate of completion and emergency muzzle. A portion of the proceeds will benefit Last Hope Animal Rescue in their mission to help pets. Be sure to guarantee your space today as registration is very limited due to the hands on nature of this class. To register, visit www.pawsnclaws911.com and be sure to choose the July 16th date option. For any questions, contact Tom Rinelli of Paws N Claws 911 daily until 10 PM at 631-721- 8129.

Last Hope Thanks Pet Peeves (with our collective cat-loving heart) for a generous $12,000 grant so we can offer the public FREE TNR spay/neuter vouchers for feral cats.

This grant is an attempt to be proactive by altering cats before females get pregnant. The Pet Peeves funds will help Last Hope to spay/neuter at least 200 cats. Cat caretakers can apply for the free vouchers, at the link on the Last Hope website: http://lasthopeanimalrescue.org/fix-a-feral/. When funds are depleted, Last Hope will be resuming its regular Fix-a-Feral program with discounted TNR vouchers at participating vets. Feral cats are community “shadow” citizens, so often ignored and tormented. Pet Peeves an advocacy organization for local animal rescues truly is “The Voice of Long Island Pets”.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

Join the Last Hope cat rescue and adoption team! Volunteer orientations are held at our Wantagh adoption center the second Sunday of each month at 3:00 PM. Reservations not needed, but please fill out and fax a volunteer application in advance to 516-765-9181. You can download the application from our website: http://lasthopeanimalrescue.org. Click on “How to Help”, then “Become a Volunteer!”. Our adoption center is located at 3300 Beltagh Avenue in Wantagh. We look forward to having you on our team.
