Many of the best science minds on Long Island packed the upstairs library inside Jericho High School on Thursday night, June 8. Brian Cummings, Jericho Schools’ curriculum associate for Science and Technology Education, spoke about the 79 students in the 2016-2017 competitive, innovative and inspiring research program at the high school. The class comprised of 45 sophomores, 22 juniors and 12 seniors this school year and Jericho’s budding students competed in over 30 science competitions. “It was not just the successes that we had this year but it was the amazing number of successes. Every time I read an email it didn’t announce that we (Jericho High School) had a winner. We had LOTS of winners among a group of students that are just so incredible at what they do,” Cummings announced. His introduction received a nod from parents and school officials in attendance on June 8, including Superintendent of Schools Hank Grishman, Assistant Superintendent Curriculum and Instruction Barbara Bauer and newly-elected Jericho Board of Education member Pam Wasserman-Heath. The Jericho team of seven in the Lexus Eco Challenge, centered on impacting “Earth Health” earned first place and a $15,000 award. They are Rohan Basavaraju, Emma Gan, Mansi Vorha, Brandon Xie, Brian Sang, James Kim and Benjamin Wong. The Jericho standouts from the annual national Siemens Competition in Math, Science and Technology included work from Rohan Basavaraju, Brandon Xie, Archana Verma, Brian Sang, Sandra Li, Doris Fu, Jang Hun Choi, Serena Tam, Justin Kim, Alison Park, Michael Lai, John Wang, Leo Lo, William Zheng, Adam Pahlavan, Grace Hu and Nathaniel Lee. Sang announced the competition as “the most prestigious competition a high school student can enter.” Seven of the Jericho participants were named 2017 Siemens Competition Semi-Finalists, among 300 in the United States. “The competition has changed massively over the past two years and was featured recently on the Discovery Channel. Entries include 18-page scientific research paper read and scored followed by a series of presentations. The Siemens Competitions starts with over 2,200 applicants every year.

Syosset High School welcomed seven survivors of the Holocaust for a day of reflection and respect for one another on Holocaust Remembrance Day in April. Coordinated by Social Studies Administrative Assistant Thomas Fusco, Library Media Specialist Lynn Ortlieb and teacher Richard Cafiero, Holocaust Remembrance Day brought 10th-graders together to listen to compelling presentations and testimony from speakers/survivors Annie Bleiberg, Gloria Gantz, Sam Hersley, Mordechai Miller, Werner Reich, Irving Roth and Mireille Taub. Some of the speakers brought images of the

Holocaust to help illustrate this tragic time in world history. Miller even brought a model of a barn, which replicates the real barn he hid in from the Nazis during their occupation of Poland. The event had special meaning to sophomore Jacob Hersley, a student organizer and grandson of speaker Sam Hersley. Three generations were on hand to listen to the elder Hersley’s account of Auschwitz, as Jacob’s father Mark Hersley was also present. Each speaker emphasized the importance of respecting others, including those of different ethnic and religious backgrounds.

Mario Santoro, Live Art Fusion, “The Black Canvas Collection” Jul. 5 – Jul. 28, 2017 Mario Santoro’s Live Art Fusion will be exhibited in the library’s art gallery from Jul. 5 - Jul. 28. Open to the public. “The Black Canvas Collection” is a selection of paintings created at Live Art Fusion, a great idea that fuses the two art expressions of live music and live painting into one unique experience for both the artist and the audience. The fast painting technique is visible, the execution is based on the concept of painting light on forms, the black gesso canvas

being the ideal background. The colors used are limited to mainly primary colors, the inspiration for each canvas coming from the vibe of the moment while a live band is performing. Mario Santoro is a talented self-taught artist. He studied the fundamentals of drawing and oil painting based on classical methods. He has had many exhibitions in Nassau County. He is currently a pastry artist and cake decorator. At a young age, he was taught the craft by his father, who was a pastry artist himself. He creates special occasion and custom cake designs.

Languages and Me BY BOB MORGAN, JR.

Next week, I will be taking a short vacation trip to Portugal, followed by a few days in Ireland. I’ve been attempting to learn some basic Portuguese for the trip and I thought I might discuss my adventures with languages over the years, which has become something of a avocation. There are people who are extremely adept at languages. The late Pope John Paul II would be a case in point. John Paul spoke at least six (and as many as twelve, reports vary) languages fluently, very helpful for the head of a church with members around the world. May I assure readers that I definitely am not among these highly proficient students of language. I guess I’m fairly decent, but my efforts are plodding and require repeated use of language tapes, dictionaries and phrase books. I always test by skills by trying to decipher the local newspaper when I arrive in a country, with mixed results. Like most Americans of my generation, I did not formally study any language until I was 14 years old and in ninth grade and started four years of Spanish. (I guess I previously knew a few words of Latin from the Catholic Mass.) Starting language study that late was a bit of a shame, since it’s generally understood that children are more adept at learning than adults and that young children can learn to speak a language with little or no accent. I did also study French as well as Spanish in college. I always found French harder than Spanish, largely because its sounds are more subtle than Spanish, where every syllable is pretty much spoken. In any event, my first effort to use a foreign language was trying French during a short trip to Montreal and Quebec City when I was 20. However, I first really used a foreign language extensively during a number of low budget trips through Mexico in 1979-81. I remember boning up on Spanish prior to the trip by

Give Your Business Card

watching the Mexican news broadcasts on channel 41. It definitely did need Spanish on that trip, trying to check into cheap hotels and navigate the intercity bus system. As I have mentioned, I had an annual trip with young Robert every spring and I did make the lad prepare for the trip by listening to language tapes so he at least could order in a restaurant and ask for basic directions. We did French twice (France and Morocco), Italian and Spanish twice (Spain and Mexico.) I still try to keep up with languages, particularly Spanish. For example, I listen to a few Yankee games in Spanish every year. In 2014, I followed the World Cup soccer games on Univision. I’m currently even reading a novel in Spanish by Gabriel Marquez. When I tell people that I try to brush up on language skills before a foreign trip, a common reaction is that many people at my destination speak English anyway. I think, however, that this misses the point a bit. If you rely on English speakers only, you are largely confining yourself to dealing with the tourist industry. I always think that a country is more interesting if you can travel a bit on your own, maybe take the local subway or bus, visit out of the way restaurants and shops. In some countries, bargaining for goods (or even taxi rides) is common. Local language skill can be very helpful for all of this. I also think that you can understand the local culture better by interacting with people who are not always used to talking with Americans or other foreigners. In any event, my Portuguese studies continue. The grammar and structure of Portuguese are pretty similar to Spanish, but the pronunciation is pretty wildly different and I have to unlearn quite a bit of what I’ve learned. Nevertheless, it’s a bit of a challenge and I’m looking forward to giving it a shot in Lisbon. We’ll see.

Levittown resident receives Irish American Heritage Award

While Hempstead Town may not be overflowing with fourleaf clovers or located at the end of the rainbow, it is home to a significant, thriving Irish community. After a run-in with some unfortunate weather, Supervisor Anthony J. Santino is proud to host Hempstead Town’s first ever Irish American Heritage Celebration. The event is dedicated to recognizing exceptional Irish American residents who have made a positive difference in their communities while embracing and promoting Irish heritage and culture. “Here in Hempstead Town we have many diverse communities,” said Santino. “We are proud to take the time to honor and acknowledge the very best of each unique heritage. March is the perfect month to recognize our outstanding Irish residents.” This year’s honorees include: Kathryn Driscoll Hopkins of Garden City, Chief Clerk of Nassau County Supreme Court; John Murray Jr., owner of Mulcahy’s Pub and Concert Hall in Wantagh; Sean O’Rourke of Woodmere, retired NYPD Detective heavily involved in the Ancient Order of Hibernians; Don Ryan of Hempstead, treasured long-time public servant and Mayor-elect; Donna Ryan, Levittown community volunteer; and a posthumous tribute to the great Steven McDonald, NYPD Detective from Malverne who became an international hero when he forgave the teen who shot him and left him as a quadriplegic. Michael Byrne, current Nassau County Feis Chairman, is gracing the ceremony as the keynote speaker. Entertainment is provided by the Donny Golden School of Irish Dance in Mineola. The Nassau County

Santino (third right), Senior Councilwoman Dorothy Goosby (second left), Councilman Anthony D’Esposito (second right), Town Clerk Nasrin Ahmad (right) and Receiver of Taxes Don Clavin (left) present Hempstead Town’s first Irish American Heritage Award to Donna Ryan of Levittown. Police Emerald Society Pipe Band and the Nassau County Firefighters Pipes and Drums are supplying the music. The event is sponsored by Stop & Shop, who is providing Irish specialties and refreshments. “Our Irish American community is as vibrant and lively as ever,” stated Santino. “I would like to thank our honorees, our keynote speaker Mike Byrne, our entertainment, our pipes and drums, and our sponsor for making this event truly special.”

Donna Ryan, of Levittown

Though her Celtic pride may lead one to believe Donna Ryan hails from Ireland, Donna can trace her immediate roots back to Brooklyn, the other Emerald

Isle. Subsequently, Donna relocated to Levittown while in high school, where she settled and raised her own family. Donna and her husband Pete bought their Levittown home in 1962 and have remained in the same house all these years. Donna’s presence in the community has been like a lucky four leaf clover for Levittown, as she soon became a vital part of nearly every community group. Her first volunteer position was with the Levittown United Cerebral Palsy Ladies Auxiliary where she soon became president. Decades later, she remains involved with this important organization. Another vital role that Donna has played in the community is that of volunteer with the Wantagh-Levittown

Volunteer Ambulance Corps. Today, nearly 50 years later, there are three generations of Ryans who volunteer with the corps. Donna’s husband owned his own plumbing and heating company which led her to become involved in the Levittown Chamber of Commerce. She has served on the chamber’s board of directors and worked as vice president and president of the organization. Another group that has been lucky enough to win Donna’s heart is the New York State Games for the Physically Challenged. Indeed, Donna and Pete have volunteered for more than 25 years with the Games. The Levittown Kiwanis Club has been the beneficiary

of Donna’s volunteer efforts for over 25 years. She has co-chaired the club’s Community Pride Day and currently assists with the Kiwanis’ Terrific Kids program, which recognizes Levittown students who give back to their community. Donna was also a charter member and threeyear president of the Levittown Community Council and has served on the Levittown 40th, 50th and 60th Anniversary committees. Donna has visited Ireland four times; however, the community of Levittown is the recipient of Donna’s “Lucky Charm.” Today, Hempstead Town is proud to salute Donna Ryan, Levittown’s “four leaf clover” with its 2017 Irish Heritage Award.

Discovery Bicycle Tours’ On the River Weekend in Woodstock, Vermont, Shows How Personalized a Group Tour Can Be BY KAREN RUBIN

I have joined a Vermont bike tour centered around Woodstock village, that takes place over Bike Travel Weekend in June. The popular itinerary offered several times during the year by Discovery Bicycle Tours is one of some 850 events around the world this weekend to raise awareness of the joys and benefits (and ease) of bicycle touring. No one has to convince me – I have long appreciated how bike tours provide everything I look for when I travel: the opportunity to discover, explore, immerse, photograph, encounter at a perfect pace– not too fast and removed as you are traveling by car or bus, and not too slow as hiking so you can cover just the right amount of distance – and, still have a physically exerting experience, a personal challenge, plus the camaraderie of a shared adventure. A bike tour is sight seeing rather than sightseeing; being a participant not an observer; a part of, not

apart from, your surroundings; an experience rather than a scene. Bike tours are enriching and satisfying on so many levels. But as I appreciate during the course of this short weekend, all of that doesn’t just happen. It requires knowledgeable and careful planning that we just take for granted as we experience it – how the route is designed for distance, topography, scenery; the choice of accommodations; the quality of the equipment; the attention, expertise and personality of the guides, not to mention having snacks and cold water readily at hand. What is surprising to me about the Discovery Bicycle Tours approach is that even though this is a guided, group tour, it is really very individualized. Jim Ortuno, our expert guide, tells us at our first gathering that the goal is for each guest to have “a See page D2

perfect day” whatever that is – and I contemplate what that actually means and how that might be achieved. So people who are relatively new to biking who don’t want to do the climbs can simply hop into the van (Jim, orients us in advance as to what the topography will be like and where he will be parked for those who don’t want to make the 3 ½ mile climb.) It is fascinating to see this in practice: how with the two guides – one driving the van, the other biking at the back as the “sweeper” – they are able to accommodate everyone, regardless of age, physical ability, biking ability or interest. It is a guided, supported group ride, but we all go at our own pace, have our own interests and goals – some (like me) stop often for photos and don’t mind the physically exerting climbs; others are new bikers or really don’t want to climb; still others are intense bikers and want to cover the distance at a fast pace. Indeed, Vermont provides an exquisite setting. Just crossing the border you immediately feel a sense of peace come over you. But these are the Green Mountains, after all. The trip planner has to be cognizant of the hills as well as the traffic situation, since we ride on roads, rather than bike trails. Riding at our own pace means we can spend time without feeling we are holding up the group investigating an equestrian competition, watching glass blowing at Simon Pearce, or visiting the Billings Farm, or hiking down the Quechee Gorge, or shopping at an artisans market, or constantly stopping to take photos (guilty!) – but are being watched over to make sure nobody has any issues. The bikes that are included in the program are top quality – Trek, Specialized – and we get to choose whether we want a hybrid or road bike. We have sent in our request and dimensions earlier so that they have our properly sized bikes ready for us at the inn. We can bring our own seats or pedals or clips if we want. They provide the helmets as well and water bottle, and the bikes have a carry-bag with a place to put the written directions and maps. When I hear a flapping sound in my rear brake that I can’t figure out and Jim, who restores classic cars, can’t immediately fix it either, he whips out a spare bike, just my size, from the top of the van. The advance preparation is also extremely good. We receive a complete itinerary and directions, packing list. Discovery also makes available the trip’s maps and directions on a Smartphone based GPS app, RIDE WITH GPS (as well as providing meticulously written

directions and maps). By downloading the app which has our exact tour routes, we get turn by turn spoken directions, a map of the day’s cycling route, and a live plot displaying our progress throughout the day – how far we’ve gone, average speed, accumulated elevation. “She” gives us fair warning when the big climb is coming so we can get into

We meet the first night at dinner at the delightful inn selected for this trip, On the River Inn, just about 2 miles outside the center of Woodstock, a quintessential New England village that is visual eye-candy.

Despite the video that we are directed to, most of us can’t figure out how to download the app properly, but Jim and

orientation and Jim cleverly organizes an “Icebreaker” (think of one word to describe you:”adventurous”, “fun”, “embarrassing,” “easy-going”, “quirky”, “excited”). There are 11 of us on the tour – a mother and her son and daughter-in-law have come from Illinois and found the tour by a Google search; a fellow came from Miami; a couple came

from Massachusetts; two ladies came from downstate (one had traveled the famous El Camino de Santiago in Spain with Discovery before). Three of us are traveling on our own. Cyclists are the most open-hearted, open-minded, open-to-new-experiences sort of people and within moments we congeal into a single group. Jim suggests a trick for tackling the climb: just look down and directly in front, relax hands and shoulders, breath in once out twice, and sing or whistle (I find that’s exactly what I’ve been doing), and gives us riding tips. 35-Mile Pomfret Ride On Saturday morning, we come down between 7 and 8 am to be properly fitted for the bike and helmet; we can attach our own pedals or seats if we like and if we bring our own bike, Jim checks that out too. The bike has a pouch which has a plastic holder for our written directions. We are given a water bottle and a bunch of goodies marking Bike Travel Weekend. Safety is clearly the tour company’s top issue, so they give us their cell numbers, and let us know where the closest emergency medical services are located in our written directions. Jim, who is driving the van on the first day, tells us the two places where he will be pulled over if anyone doesn’t want to do the climb, then passes us often to make sure we are all right – we can give a thumbs up sign or wave him on, but if we put thumbs down, he knows to find a safe place to pull over to give aid; he would put on his blinkers to acknowledge. Kenzie Novak, the second guide, is on the bike today and rides “sweep” – at the back of the pack, but as she comes upon us, also asks if we need anything, or makes helpful suggestion to be a better biker – like shifting gears more efficiently or choosing the right gear. Saturday’s ride is 35 miles (a shorter, flatter option is available, or those who don’t want to do the 3 ½ mile climb can ride in the van to the top and sail down a 6-mile stretch with views of stunning countryside (Currier & Ives come to mind) that Vermont is so famous for. The first three miles are relatively gentle ascent; it’s the last half-mile that is a wonderful strain that gives you that endorphin-rush for having done it. We bike along the road (as opposed to a dedicated bikeway) but as Jim has promised, the Vermont drivers are very hospitable. We come to the charming village of Quechee, where we visit the Simon Pearce Glass Works. I am transfixed watching the glass-blowing and shaping process.

We continue on to Quechee Gorge (but Jim has put my bike with the flapping brake into the van and I ride the 2 miles to the snack bar where we have lunch). I will still get to bike this stretch because we will backtrack these two miles after lunch. The Gorge offers dramatic views from the bridge and I hike the half-mile trail down to the bottom (the view isn’t worth it). We come down a short steep hill and the GPS lady notes the sharp turn-off onto a dirt road just before an absolutely marvelous Taftsville Covered Bridge (watch out for loose gravel!). I am really appreciating the care that Discovery Bicycle Tours puts into designing the route. Who would have believed that Vermont still has unpaved roads! This part of the ride though is so beautiful, along the river, passing farms that go back hundreds of years. I stop off at a cemetery where I note one of the

tombstones is for a veteran of the American Revolution; others from the Civil War. It is striking to see the family stones in a line. Just before coming into Woodstock, we pass the Billings Farm and Museum, a Rockefeller institution, where we can stop and visit. Soon we cross The Woodstock Middle Bridge, a picture-perfect covered bridge that takes us right into the heart of the village to the Woodstock Green. We arrive here around 3:30 pm and have plenty of time to explore, shop (I love Gillingham’s General Store, which dates back to 1886 and offers everything from the practical to the whimsical to the touristic). The van is available for those who want to shuttle back to the hotel rather than tackle one last steep climb at College Hill (it turns out to be such a short hill that by the time you See page D5

W R I T E R’S C O R N E R

The Queen’s English is spoken well … Or it can be BY CLAIRE LYNCH I think that presidents, politicians and statesmen should speak the King’s and Queen’s English, at least in public so I am always disappointed when they fail to meet that high bar I’ve set. Many politicians say, “Like I said, I will stick to my promise of ...” and “If it was up to me, I would ...” Why do I cringe when I hear those verbal grammatical mistakes? Those phrases really hurt my ears because like most English majors I love language. All through grammar school, high school, college and beyond I was taught by my elders to understand the rules of grammar, to respect them and to use them properly. So when I hear a violation, it’s like hearing a fire alarm going off. Loudly and clearly. I think the English language is just as beautiful as the French language and that’s saying a lot. There is, for example, Je ne sais quoi (an indefinable, pleasing quality), S’il vous plait (please) Je vais bien (I’m fine) and Merci beaucoup (thank you very much). Each phrase has a very nice ring to it. So we should respect our English language. We should refine it and handle it with care just as we would handle a carton of fresh eggs. I realize that over time language changes. No problem with that. New words and phrases come into daily use and old words and phrases drop out of style. I get that. Like a river, language ebbs and flows. But the basic tenets of language, grammar and usage, hold a special place in the hearts of us English majors and in the hearts of all people who love language. You might think that I’m a nitpicker who is constantly correcting people’s

grammar. I’m not. I don’t correct other people’s grammar - at least not out loud. Inside, besides cringing, I’m shouting, “No, it’s ‘If I were 12 years old ...’” Once someone becomes a real English major it’s kind of like the story of the cucumber and the pickle. Once a cucumber turns into a pickle, there’s no going back. Once someone makes a commitment to language, there’s no going back. I strive for accuracy in language. I like reading grammar books. I’ve read Funk & Wagnalls. I like reading encyclopedias and almanacs. That type of reading may be boring to some people but I’ll admit that I like it. No shame here … By the way, the right way to say the phrases I cited above is, “As I said ...” and “If it were up to me ...” I may be a bit stuffy and high-minded about the proper usage of grammar but in small, informal circles and at home I’ve been known to violate some of the rules of grammar. Yes, I’ve said it. I confess that at times even I slouch down and loosen up and don’t stick to my high standards. It’s hard to believe, I know. Sometimes when chatting I’ll say, “He’s older than me” even though I know fully well that the right way to say it is, “He’s older than I.” I don’t have to point out any grammatical faux pas that I make because 1) I don’t want to make a spectacle of myself and 2) I don’t want to admit that I’ve made a mistake! Why draw attention to it? Sometimes it’s easier to just say it however I say it and not correct myself. In those relaxed, casual circles I sometimes let my grammatical guard down and slip. On those very rare occasions when I say, “Like I said …” everyone gets what I’m saying and no one ever faints. Imagine that! We don’t have to

pick anyone up from the floor! While on the subject I can’t help but mention how impressed I am with the British royals when they speak publicly. I’ve got to hand it to Prince Charles, Prince William and Prince Harry. They know the subjunctive clause when they come across it – and they treat it properly – not always but most of the time. The royals also know how to avoid dangling their participles and splitting their infinitives. A well-known example occurs in the opening sequence of the Star Trek television series: “to boldly go where no man has gone before.” The adverb “boldly” splits the infinitive “to go.” But the royals know better. They wouldn’t split an infinitive. I realize that in these modern times English has gotten a bit lax. So on the rare occasions that I hear mistakes I try to cut them some slack. Sir Winston Churchill, the prime minister of England during World War II, understood the importance of words – and the impact that speaking well made. Churchill wasn’t born a natural orator – he worked at it. As a child, Churchill was the worst student in his class. He stuttered as a boy and he overcame a childhood lisp by practicing enunciation. He understood the power of words

early in his career. It is said that he worked at his speeches. After writing his first draft he would go back, edit it and craft it. He expanded his vocabulary and used words for emphasis. An average person’s vocabulary contains about 25,000 words. Churchill’s has been estimated at 65,000. He always said that he loved the English language. Many historians say that the impact of Churchill’s speeches cannot be underestimated. Many people thought that it was impossible to beat the Nazis but Churchill rallied the troops and he rallied the people. On April 9, 1963, President John F. Kennedy summed up Churchill’s speechwriting achievements, saying, “In the dark days and darker nights when England stood alone - and most men save Englishmen despaired of England’s life - he mobilized the English language and sent it into battle.” (npr.org) On June 18, 1940, immediately after the fall of France, Churchill rallied the British people once more. With his characteristic Shakespearean gusto, he declared, “Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duty, and so bear ourselves, that if the British Empire and See page D6

Rules About Retroactive Benefits BY TOM MARGENAU

Before I get to today’s questions, all of which deal with claiming retroactive benefits, I must make this general point about the issue: The law says you can claim up to six months’ worth of retroactive benefits, as long as it doesn’t involve the payment of any reduced Social Security benefits. Or to put that another way, no retroactive retirement benefits can be paid prior to age 66. It’s a different story when it comes to disability benefits. And that is briefly explained in the answer to the final question. Q: I will turn 70 in March 2018. I was planning to wait until then to start my Social Security. But I recently retired so I went to my Social Security office and signed up for retirement benefits. They offered me the option of taking six months’ worth of retroactive payments, but I declined that. Now I’m wondering if I made a mistake. What do you think? A: I’m just an old retired Social Security guy. As such, I’m not a financial planner. So I can’t tell you if you made a mistake or not. But I can explain Social Security’s rules and give you some food for thought -- and some possible options you can consider. You get a two-thirds of one percent increase added to your monthly Social Security check for each month you delay signing up for benefits after age 66. In other words, if you had taken retroactive payment, your ongoing Social Security benefit rate would have been 4 percent less than you are currently getting. (Six months times two-thirds of one percent equals 4 percent.) So the question is this: Do you want the benefit rate you are currently getting? Or would you be willing to accept 4 percent less but in return get a one-time check for the past six months? If you like the idea of that six-month check, it’s not too late to do something about it. Anyone who files a claim for Social Security benefits has up to a year to change his or her mind. You said you recently filed for benefits, so I assume you are within the 12-month window. You could go back to your Social Security office and tell them you want to withdraw your original claim. You would have to repay all benefits you’ve received so far. And then you could turn around and file a new claim with a starting date six months in the past. Q: I applied for my Social Security checks when I turned 70. I am now 74. I just learned from a neighbor that when he applied for his benefits, he was offered the option of taking six months’ worth of retroactive checks. I never was given that option. I am very upset. Is there anything I can do about this? A: There isn’t anything you can

do about it. You are well beyond the 12-month period of time that allows you to change your mind about your Social Security claim. But I will make two points. Point one. My hunch is you were offered the opportunity to claim those six months of retroactive benefits, but you maybe weren’t listening or perhaps you were confused about the whole process. The retirement claim form asks you when you want your benefits to begin. You obviously answered that question by indicating age 70. If you wanted them to start before that, you should have indicated a different date. Point two. You said you started your benefits at age 70. If you really wanted them to start at age 69 and 6 months, why didn’t you simply file for your Social Security at that age? See my answer to the next question for more clarification about this matter. Q: I will turn 70 in December 2017. That’s when I want to start my Social Security. When should I apply for my benefits? And should I ask for retroactive payments? A: If you want your Social Security to begin at age 70, then you should apply for benefits by about October, telling them you want your benefit starting date to be December 2017. You could ask for retroactive benefits if you want. But here are my questions? If you want benefits now, why not just apply for them now? If you wait until later in the year to apply, and then ask for retroactive payments, aren’t you just loaning your money to the government interest-free? Why let them hang on to your money for the next six months and then give you a retroactive check? Why not take the money now and spend it or invest it? Those are the issues that have always puzzled me about people who get hung up on the idea of getting retroactive benefits from Social Security. If you want your checks to start this month, for example, then apply for benefits this month. Why wait six months and then claim back pay? I understand the allure of a big retroactive check. But again, you could have been getting that money all along instead of in one lump sum. Q: I applied for Social Security disability benefits when I was 58 years old. I am now 61. I have been fighting the government to get my money for three years now. And I finally won my case. But I only got retroactive benefits to January 2017. I should have been paid back to 2014 when I first applied for disability. What is going on here? A: Before I answer your question, I must explain that the issue of retroactivity is entirely different for Social Security disability claims. In effect, there is no limit to the amount of retroactive benefits that can be paid. So you could have received three years’ worth of retroactive benefits had they

decided that you were disabled since your original filing in 2014. But my hunch is when your claim was finally approved, they concluded that your disability didn’t become severe enough for Social Security purposes until January

It’s a beautiful ride that takes us south along Kedron Brook passing through picturesque South Woodstock (a good thing, too, because we avoid a major half-marathon event going on where we biked Saturday), visiting a charming country store and passing the Green Mountain Equestrian Association (where a cross-country equestrian competition is underway) before arriving at a vista overlooking the Jenne Farm, possibly one of the most photographed scenes in New England.

in “Mary Poppins” and “The Princess Diaries”? The British – and the Canadians, too - know how to speak the King’s and the Queen’s English. They make all of the words sound so pretty. Here in the U.S., when I listen to the senators speaking on TV, I hear different regional accents. I can usually tell if they are from California or Boston, Virginia or Wisconsin. To complicate things, in English we have idioms. These are hard for foreigners to understand at first. Just a few of them, thanks to McGraw-Hill’s Dictionary of American Idioms and Phrasal Verbs, are: • at peace - relaxed and happy • every trick in the book - every deceptive method known • Johnny-on-the-spot - someone who is in the right place at the right time • make a killing - to have a great success, especially in making money • a nine-to-five job - a job with normal daytime hours • scream bloody murder - to complain bitterly • take a powder - to leave; to leave town I am not a linguist but I am someone who feels as though I have words running through my veins constantly. I consider myself a wordsmith because I always play with words – probably even when I sleep. I write them down and make different combinations. I try guessing if the words are from the Latin, the Greek or somewhere else. The etymology fascinates me. I know that “butterfly” in English is “papillon” in French and “mariposa” in Spanish and that the Papillon dog (also called the Continental Toy Spaniel) is called that because of its “butterfly-like” ears. I am reminded of the story of Johnny Tremain, an apprentice silversmith. (“Johnny Tremain” is a 1943 children’s fiction historical novel by Esther Forbes set in Boston prior to and during the outbreak of the American Revolution.) He was learning a trade and studied with an older, accomplished silversmith. Then I am reminded of the blacksmith in “Black Beauty.” (Black Beauty is an 1877 novel by English author Anna Sewell.) Accomplished at what he did for a living, people came to him and the blacksmith put horseshoes on the horses that needed them. As a wordsmith, I look at what words and sentences work and what don’t. Certainly these things can be subjective but … we have rules to follow. English is spoken worldwide by around 840 million people, and is the third most-spoken global language after Mandarin Chinese and Spanish. It’s the mother tongue of 335 million people and a second language for an additional 505 million. Since most English speakers don’t speak the language natively, that means the most common English accent

in the world is probably what is known officially as “international English.” The British Library’s Shakespeare’s Original Pronunciation CD features speeches and scenes that claim to be performed in Shakespeare’s time. It reveals how close 16th-century English accents sounded to modern American ones. When the first settlers came to America from Britain, their accents were the same as those from their original home, but over the centuries ways of speaking on both sides of “the pond” evolved in different ways. (telegraph.co.uk) It’s thought that Received Pronunciation - the traditional “cutglass” English accent - only emerged relatively recently, in the 19th century. Back then they used words such as “behoove” and “whilst.” We don’t say, “It behooves me to take a trip to Ireland this year” too much anymore or “Whilst the kids were out playing …” Language usage has changed. There was an occasion in January when former President Barack Obama used the word “behoove” and people stood up and noticed. He was at Andrews Air Force Base following President Donald Trump’s inauguration when he said, “Michelle and I, we’ve really been milking this goodbye thing. So it behooves me to be very brief.” Behoove means “to be necessary, proper, or advantageous for.” It’s a word that is as old as English itself, having come from Old English into modern use. The earliest known sense of “behoove” goes back to the 9th century and is now obsolete: “require, to have need of.” Obama used the word but it’s rarely used in this country anymore. Behoove spiked in lookups because most Americans aren’t used to hearing it. Speaking of rules, the English has so many exceptions to the rules that it can be confounding at first. Sometimes you can find patterns in English grammar, but at other times English doesn’t make sense at all. For example, why are “read” (reed) and “read” (red) the same word, but pronounced differently depending on whether you’re speaking in the past or present tense? Or why is “mice” the plural of “mouse,” but “houses” is the plural of “house”? (fluentu.com) It seems like there are just as many exceptions as there are rules in English. It’s easy to get stuck on learning how to speak English properly, if you try to find a reason for everything. Even though in my mind I correct myself, I usually don’t say anything out loud, don’t launch into grammatical diatribes because after all, we all know what a bore that can be! Talking about correct grammar can be very nitpicking work. And now, I’m onto the subject of proper etiquette. Stay tuned!

Discovery Bicycle Tours’ On the River Weekend in Woodstock, Vermont, Shows How Personalized a Group Tour Can Be C ontinued from page D5 was used as the setting in the films “Forrest Gump” and “Funny Farm.” Gradually, we all find ourselves gathered together beside a tree looking down at the classic country scene (we are reminded this is a private road and we are on private land). In this and all the classic Vermont scenes we have seen (at one point I think to myself that the aging red barns and covered bridges have been put there for tourists’ benefit), serendipity makes the scene and the experience unique – the weather, colors, light, time of day, season, and myriad things that make it unique.

Returning, there is that short steep hill which we came down, and then pretty much downhill for the 10 miles. But even though we are traveling the same road, the scene is completely different – the return takes you alongside a creek. And because we are going at our own pace, I linger at to watch the equestrian cross-country competition underway at the Green Mountain Equestrian Association grounds and stop frequently for photos. I think I am the last rider back to the inn, happy as a lark. Turning a Group Tour into a Personalized Experience Discovery Bicycle Tours began offering inn-to-inn bicycle tours

throughout Vermont in 1977. Larry and Dawn Niles have been running the business since 1991 and have expanded the tour offerings to include a variety of tours in the United States, Quebec and Europe. They range in length from our 3-Day/2-Night weekend tours to 11-Day/10-Night tours.(New this year is a 10-day/9-night Dolomites to Venice tour). Each tour is designed to provide a uniquely memorable experience for the rider and includes all accommodations, most meals, bicycles, helmets, detailed directions and maps, van support and tour guides. “We continue to encourage a culture that values substance over flash, where our focus is on the individual guest’s experience rather than a preset ‘onesize-fits-all’ formula. We are all about treating people personally,” Larry says, and this becomes clear from the first moment we gather together. It’s hard to envision, at first, what our guide, Jim Ortuno, means when he promises that the plan is that each of us have our own perfect day. And if it isn’t, it’s not for the lack of trying. They go over-the-top to be accommodating each person’s individual abilities, interests and goals. The selection of offerings this year include: • Vermont - On The River Inn Weekend (offered throughout the season, https://discoverybicycletours. com/bike-tour-vermont/bike-tourvermont-river/); North Hero House Weekend; Shoreham Inn Weekend; Lake Champlain Islands; Vermont Discovery; Northeast Kingdom; North Hero House Midweek; Vermont Lake and Leisure) • California Wine and Coast • Cape Cod/Martha’s Vineyard • Gettysburg to Washington DC • Maine – Coast/Acadia • Florida Keys Multi-Adventure • Maryland (Eastern Shore Chesapeake Bay; Harbour Inn Weekend)

• Quebec – Eastern Townships • Italy – Puglia; Tuscany; Dolomites to Venice • Scotland • Ireland – County Clare/Connemara • Spain - El Camino de Santiago • France - Provence Discovery Bicycle tours also offers private and family tours, as well as customized tours. Each is designed to recognize and encourage varying skills and interests of riders. The tours are flexible and most include easy-tomoderate riding, plus optional routes for the more energetic cyclist. At this writing, Discovery was offering a $400 discount on the 6-day/5night Coast of Maine tours, that includes all ferries and excursions, guided kayaking, 5 nights lodging, including three nights in premium rooms at the Bar Harbor Inn, each with a private balcony overlooking Frenchman’s Bay, 5 breakfasts, picnic on Swan’s Island, 4 dinners, bicycle, helmet, and free transfer provided from/to Bangor International Airport (July 23–28, July 30–August 4, and August 13–18). There also was a recent “Teacher Appreciation Sale” of $250 off longer tours and $100 off weekend trips.

Syosset honors its finest young architects

The Syosset High School Technology Education Department recently hosted its annual Architectural Showcase, which provides students enrolled in two architectural courses with an opportunity to take pride in their designs while receiving input and recognition from industry professionals. Forty-three Residential Architecture and Commercial Architecture students participated in this year’s showcase, now in its 29th year. Student built ¼ inch scale models of various structures, including dream homes, commercial sites and public structures. The structures were compiled to create a village scene in the school commons area as families and friends were invited for

the viewing. Professional architects also volunteered to share their insights with the student-designers, as well as nominate the best pieces for the Gold Compass Award. Two of the judges were Syosset alumni: Noah Adler and Patricia Tiglias. This year, five Gold Compass Award winners were named. Sophomores Robert Kula, Mirwais Noory and Daneida Segovia from the Residential Architecture course and juniors Jake Leonardi and Jared Ryback from the Commercial Architecture course were honored. Mike Ferreira, Tom Morritt and Paul Rorke teach the residential course; Morritt teaches the Commercial course.

From page 1 This year seven of our students were named Semifinalists and one student was a 2017 Finalist (Choi),” Sang said. The Regeneron Science Talent Search also yielded great results for Jericho as two finalists, Archana Verma and Nathaniel Lee, were recognized in the prestigious national S.T.E.M. event. For her work Verma earned fifth place among all students in the country and a $90,000 prize. Nine Jericho students were Regeneron semifinalist scholars among 300 nationwide. The competition consists of narrowing down an original 19,000 requests to apply into 1900 and then the top 300, and the final handful Jericho was represented in. Scholarship money competed for with the Regeneron Search surpasses $1 million. Sandra Li presented her research on “Elucidating cancer racial health disparities: The differential bioavailability of Vitamin E in African and Caucasian American colon cancer cells.” Li looked at the bio-availability of Vitamin E (VE) and VE-regulating genes associated with colon cancer cells of African Americans and Caucasian Americans. Her study suggested that the existing genetic polymorphism results in different expressions of VE-absorption, VE-catabolizing, VE-regulating and VE-transport genes resulting in difference in bio-availability of Vitamin E. Li found Vitamin E should be identified for recommended personalized diets as opposed to generalizing it for populations. Nathaniel Lee worked on “Novel femtosecond ZnSe ceramic based optical parametric oscillators: Cost-effective lasers for infrared spectroscopy applications.” The study tested using cost-effective ceramic materials for Mid-IR combs used in non-linear applications such as novel breath diagnostics, attosecond physics, and explosives detection. Mid-IR combs currently use toxic and expensive quasi phase matched monolithic crystals, and Lee’s study suggested benefits to the use of emphasized polycrystalline ZnSe. Ishan Gurnani’s project “Zinc Oxide Vibration Harvesting Potential: Voltage Collection in Aeronautical Applications” focused on Piezoelectric materials to replace lithium ion batteries in airplanes that pose danger to human lives. Zinc Oxide provides as an excellent alternative energy source in airplanes that can potentially replace lithium ion batteries and further studies. Using Zinc Oxide instead of limited lead zirconate titanate as an alternative piezoelectric material offers high electrical potential and preferable physical qualities. In her comments Science Research Coordinator Dr. Serena McCalla surprised Gurnani with a special mention

at the June 8 symposium. Gurnani attended the New York State Science Congress on June 3 but Dr. McCalla had received news that shook up the symposium – due to z-scoring (done backwards) Gurnani should have received an award at STANYS. “He should have received the award at STANYS and they are sending the award, but I want to recognize him tonight in front of everyone and his check,” McCalla said. An emotional Dr. McCalla soon teared up and stopped a few times during the year-end event as she reminisced on years of working all hours and expending every effort with members of the Class of 2017. She thought about late evening work done at JHS, the work ethic displayed and the follow-up texts or calls about science research she has welcomed throughout the last several years from the graduating group. “This year was very exceptional. We did so well and I do not think this research program is just about the students winning awards. It’s about science research and building students who will be the best and brightest at their universities. The alumni are texting me to say they wanted to be here. But Jericho students always keep winning and keep working hard. What motivates me to continue working hard is that I believe all of them will change the future. I believe these students have the tools are beginning to formulate the tools to change all aspects of math, science and engineering. They will be my doctors probably one day. It is bigger than Regeneron, Siemens, Intel or Jericho – they will change this planet. I truly do believe that and if I did not believe that I would not dedicate all hours of the night to their research and learning,” McCalla said. She explains that students at Jericho High School have a thick skin when it comes to her guidance and focus on asking them to explore things further, study and work slightly harder. McCalla’s message was that asking more from Jericho science students is not a matter of asking too much. “Even though it is extremely difficult at times they know I love them and I have the best interest for the. I want the best for them and to have these prizes in science research translate into their acceptance in the very best universities. Ultimately it translates to them changing the world. You all hold a special place in my heart and I am going to miss you tremendously. I will miss not seeing you. You have all made a difference in my life,” she told her graduating senior students. Thunderous applause from the room full of students followed as Dr. McCalla continued to inspire the kids, with a little help from a Kleenex to wipe away her tears.

Temple Beth Torah names first new cantor in 55 years

From page 1 focused much of her energy and passion on working with very young children. Cantor Chesler is a member of the Cantors Assembly. In her new role as Cantor, she will lead worship, officiate at lifecycle events, run the synagogue choir programs and serve as a dedicated teacher and tutor for the Temple’s Bar and Bat Mitzvah students. “We at Temple Beth Torah have mixed emotions. We cherish Cantor Fliegelman and will truly miss him leading our services, but we are thrilled to have Cantor Chesler follow in his footsteps. She brings great energy and excitement and her voice and personality have already begun to inspire us,” said Temple Beth Torah’s Rabbi Michael Katz. “With the appointment of Cantor Chesler, Temple Beth Torah gains a new spiritual leader who brings with her vast knowledge of Judaism combined with a unique passion for music and song, elements that can greatly elevate the impact of our religious experience.” “Presenting a unique perspective on religious ceremony and teachings, Cantor Chesler brings with her many skills and abilities which we believe will both inspire and engage with our members, in particular, our younger families and their children, making Conservative traditions more approachable. We look forward to Cantor Fliegelman to remain a member of Temple Beth Torah’s family and we welcome Cantor Chesler to our Temple and community,” added Andrew Marshall, President of Temple Beth Torah.

Cantor Carol Chesler Cantor Chesler said, “I am incredibly excited for the opportunity to become part of the Temple Beth Torah community, and serve its members both on the Bima and off. I look forward to working with everyone, with the goal of bringing beautiful and joyous music to our services, and our programs. The prospect of being able to focus my energies on one community, one congregation, is a dream come true.”

Syosset student a gold medal winner at Math Olympics

Syosset High School junior Wanlin Li is part of a four-member team representing the United States that took first place in the European Girl’s Mathematical Olympiad held in Zürich, Switzerland. In addition to taking top honors, the girls were each awarded a gold medal for their individual performances on the challenging mathematics exam. The EGMO is an international mathematics competition for female high school students that this year welcomed 168 students on 44 teams from throughout the world. Wanlin joined team members Angela Deng, Qi Qi and Siye Zhu in scoring 148 of a possible 168 points on six proof-style problems administered over the course of two days. The U.S. team was sponsored by the Mathematical Association of America, which consistently assembles top teams in the competition. The organization is the world’s

largest community of mathematicians, students and math enthusiasts with a goal of accelerating the understanding of the world through mathematics. “We are proud of the students on our team who have worked very hard to prepare for this competition,” said U.S. EGMO team leader/supervisor Sherry Gong. “This was a challenging exam so we are especially honored to have all four students take home individual gold medals.” Last year Wanlin tied for the fourth highest score in the country on the United States of America Junior Mathematical Olympiad exam and was one of just 50 students nationwide invited to the Mathematical Olympiad Summer Program. She is also a past runner up at the New York State Mathematics League competition.
