Town plans Fall & Halloween festival

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor John Venditto invites residents and their families to the Town of Oyster Bay’s eighth annual Family Fall & Halloween Festival, which will be held on Saturday, October 22, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Marjorie R. Post Community Park, located at 451 Unqua Road, Massapequa. “Once again, this annual free event invites residents to come out and celebrate the arrival of fall and Halloween with activities that are fun for children and adults alike,” Supervisor Venditto said. “The Family Fall & Halloween Festival will feature a ‘U-Pick’

pumpkin patch for children to pick out their own pumpkin, Halloween crafts, a hay maze, bouncies, games, photo opportunities and refreshments. Costumes for those attending are encouraged and residents can bring their already carved pumpkins to be judged in this year’s Carved Pumpkin Contest.” The Supervisor noted that this event will be held rain or shine. The Family Fall & Halloween Festival is sponsored by the Town of Oyster Bay’s Department of Community & Youth Services. For more information on the festival, call 797-7925 or visit the Town’s

website, www.oysterbaytown. com. Additionally, residents can keep up with the activities of our Department of Community and Youth Services by liking the official Facebook page (facebook.com/tobcys) or following them on Twitter (@ tobcys). “I invite all residents and their families to come down and celebrate the beautiful autumn season at the Town’s Annual Family Fall & Halloween Festival,” Supervisor Venditto stated. “The festival is certain to be a fun-filled afternoon at one of our beautiful Town parks.”

There is a vacant seat on the Nassau County Legislator after the untimely death of former legislator and activist, Judith Jacobs last month. Two Plainview residents, Arnold Drucker and Louis Imbroto are seeking to fill that seat in a special election which will take place on November 8th. Drucker, a Lawyer and Trustee at Nassau Community College was chosen as the Democratic nominee and Imbroto, a lawyer, is the Republican nominee. Jacobs, who was the Legislator for the 16th Legislative District passed away in early September after serving for eleven terms. The district includes the communities of Plainview, Old Bethpage, Jericho, Syosset, Woodbury, Hicksville, Old Westbury and Roslyn Heights. Drucker, a lifelong resident of Plainview, said that he is uniquely aware of the problems residents and taxpayers face and that he is totally invested in his community. “I know about the quality of life issues people face and the excessive tax burden that weighs on the shoulders of our residents,” said Drucker. “If I am elected Legislator I want to block the tremendous holes in our budget and restore the luster of what our communities used to be. I intend to follow in the giant footsteps of former Legislator Jacobs. She was a great woman, effective legislator and in institution in our County.” He said that as a practicing attorney for 34 years he under-

stands the nature of legislation and has the necessary skill set to be a legislator. “One thing that I am looking for if I’m elected Legislator is openness and honesty in office. That is something that has been missing.” Imbroto, a practicing attorney in Plainview, said that he is honored to have been nominated to fill the vacancy left by the unfortunate passing of Judy Jacobs. “Legislator Jacobs worked tirelessly for our community and I hope to live up to her legacy in the Legislature,” said Imbroto. He said that he is running for office to reduce property tax burden, improve public safety and protect suburban quality of life. “Nassau residents are severely overburdened by property taxes. As legislator, I will hold the line on taxes so that middle class families can afford to stay on Long Island. As far as quality of life issues, I will resist over development, protect our environment and maintain the suburban character of Long Island.” Imbroto said that something he feels strongly about is public safety and the protection of our citizens. “Public safety is more important than ever. As legislator, I will support the police, work to improve public safety, and combat the heroin epidemic that has taken so many young lives.” The two candidates will hold a special election on November 8th and the winner of the election will hold the position until November 2017.

Syosset High School guidance counselor Jen Melis provided information on the Common Application essay at a recent college application workshop. The Syosset High School Guidance Department recently held an evening college application workshop that provided valuable information to parents and students. A senior college application checklist was available to participants, which included steps on completing a senior folder. The checklist contained college research information, pursuing teacher recommendations, sending official score reports (SAT, ACT), creating a Common Application account online, submitting applications and the important task of following up. Parents were also given an overview of the district’s college and career readiness tool Naviance. Assistant Principal Christopher Ruffini intro-

duced a video on the admissions process and guidance counselors delivered overviews on assistance with applications for students with disabilities, supplemental materials and the upcoming college testing schedule. A list of scheduled college visits was also made available, and the evening culminated with breakout sessions between parents and counselors. Future college prep workshops hosted by the guidance department are listed in the Syosset School District calendar and information is made available in the building. All students and parents getting ready for college are encouraged to attend the appropriate sessions.

Nassau residents who are struggling with the prospect of losing their homes in mortgage foreclosure, or still have issues resulting from Superstorm Sandy, are invited to come for help from volunteer attorneys at the Nassau County Bar Association’s Free Mortgage Foreclosure/Sandy Recovery Legal Consultation Clinics. The next two clinics are scheduled for Monday, October 17 and Thursday October 27, 3 - 6 p.m., at the Nassau County Bar Association, located on 15th Street at the corner of West Street, Mineola, two blocks south of the bus and train stations. NCBA’s clinics allow homeowners concerned about foreclosure matters or who are already in the foreclosure process involving property in Nassau County, to meet one-on-one with a volunteer attorney for a free consultation. Homeowners then may be directed for additional help with mortgage modifications, loan restructuring, bankruptcy, financial planning assistance, services for lower income households and emotional support. Many of these resources and agencies are available immediately in the same room. Clinic volunteers include dozens of attorneys trained in mortgage foreclosure issues, bankruptcy attorneys, HUDcertified housing counselors from

Community Development Corporation of Long Island, Hispanic Brotherhood of Rockville Centre and American Debt Resources. There are no income restrictions to attend the clinics. Since 2009, NCBA has held more than 140 clinics assisting more than 10,000 Nassau families in distress. Currently, each clinic is held twice a month and averages 50 homeowners, signifying that mortgage fore continues to be prevalent in Nassau. Volunteer attorneys also answer Sandy victims’ questions regarding homeowner, flood, property damage and automobile insurance claims; FEMA, debt deferral, and consumer protection issues. Bi-lingual attorneys fluent in Spanish are on site, and attorneys bi-lingual in other languages, including Russian, Haitian Creole, Korean, Chinese, Hindi and American Sign Language, may be requested when making reservations. To make an appointment for the next clinic, call the Bar Association at 516747-4070. Attendees are asked to bring their mortgage documents or other important papers and correspondence with them. This program is funded through the NYS Attorney General Homeownership Protection Program (known as HOPP).

The trash and electronic waste collected from the S.T.O.P program go

a long way towards fulfilling one of the top priorities of the Oyster Bay Town Board; the protection of Long Island’s underground aquifer system, an essential component to our water supply that continues to be well guarded through programs like this.” The hours for collection are from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. Residents who would like further information on the S.T.O.P. program can call the Town’s Department of Environmental Resources at 677-5943.

Waitress Sylvia Smith BY GARY SIMEONE

Nico Papavasilopoulos, said Sylvia has been working there since before he was born and when his father, John was working there as a busboy in the early 70’s. “She was here when my dad was starting out before he worked his way up to ownership,” said Papavasilopoulos. “She is like an institution in this place.” He said that her retirement announcement came as bittersweet news to him. “I don’t know how I could have done it without her all these years. I’m going to miss her very much, she is like a third grandmother to me. At the same time though I’m happy for her that she can experience the joy of retirement. “ Sylvia said she might look into doing some charitable work in the area or at Rider College. “I was born in New Jersey so i plan on moving back to the area around the College,” said Smith. “It’s going to take me a few months to unpack but I’m not one to sit around and do nothing. I get bored easy. I have to be on my feet.”

They sure don’t make them like they used to. Just ask Plainview Diner waitress, Sylvia Smith who has been taking orders and honing her craft for forty three years. Smith, an 86 year old Hicksville resident is set to hang up her apron on Friday, October 21st and experience the life of a retiree. “What can I say, waitressing at the diner certainly beat sitting in an office for all these years,” said Smith. “I really enjoyed all the people I’ve met and the camaraderie we’ve shared. The people I’ve worked with have been like a second family to me and we’ve had some wonderful years together.” The staff at the Plainview Diner threw a retirement party for Sylvia few weeks ago and many former customers came in for the celebration. “A lot of people came to the party and we all shared some memories past,” said Smith. “It’s funny because I saw three or four generations of family members that i’ve been serving all these years. Grandfathers, grandmothers, fathers, daughters, mothers and sons. They all came.” She got her start as a waitress in 1974 after graduating from Rider College in New Jersey. She was working at the Bell Telephone Company in New Jersey at the time when she got a call from her family to come to Long Island. Her sister who lived on Long Island was in need of money and Smith had lined up a job for herself at a division of the phone company on the Island. In the meantime she began waitressing at the local diner. “I never did take that job at Bell” said Smith. “My family had needed money at the time but I have no regrets. Plainview Diner owner, Nico Papavasilopoulos I’ve had a good life.” Plainview Diner owner, and Sylvia Smith (center)

U.S. Secretary of Education John B. King Jr. announced that Syosset High School has been named a 2016 National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence. Syosset High School is one of just 279 public and 50 private schools in the nation to receive the honor this year. In order to be named a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence, a school must first be nominated by its respective state education department before completing a comprehensive application regarding school practices. Syosset received the Exemplary High Performing Honor, which takes into account performance on state assessments and national exams, graduation rates and school operations such as the use of assessments and assessment data, curricula, professional development, leadership and community and family involvement. Superintendent of Schools Dr. Thomas Rogers, Syosset High School Principal Dr. Giovanni Durante and Assistant Principal Raymond Gessner will represent Syosset at a two-day awards ceremony in Washington, D.C., this November to celebrate the school’s hard-earned achievements. “Congratulations to the entire Syosset Central School District for this tremendous academic achievement and national recognition. It is an honor to see the many

efforts of an entire school community be recognized,” said Dr. Durante. “All of our teachers, parents and administrators are dedicated to the goal of providing the best possible education for all of our students. I am truly grateful for our staff’s hard work, our parents’ commitment to their children’s education, and of course, the students’ enthusiasm to learn and willingness to maximize the opportunities before them.” “The National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence Award is one of the most prestigious recognitions a school can receive,” said Dr. Rogers. “This award illustrates the tremendous effort and dedication of our faculty, leadership, students and parents. But the entire Syosset school district shares this award since, like a relay race, it is the excellent start students receive in our elementary and middle schools that makes possible Syosset High School’s Blue Ribbon finish.” National Blue Ribbon School nominations are received from the top education officials in all states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, the Department of Defense Education Activity and the Bureau of Indian Education. The Council for American Private Education nominates private schools. A total of 420 schools nationwide may be nominated each year.

‘Legend of Sleepy Hollow’ Halloween Events – Ghouls & All – Return to Historic Hudson Valley BY KAREN RUBIN Washington Irving’s macabre tale, “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” is the inspiration for Horseman’s Hollow, a spectacularly produced interactive Halloween haunted attraction at the colonial-era Philipsburg Manor in Sleepy Hollow, N.Y. It is one of a series of Historic Hudson Valley’s Halloween season spectacular events taking place over an unprecedented 32 nights. They are the largest Halloween events in the tri-state area and are expected to draw more than 150,000 visitors to Sleepy Hollow Country. They take place in several Historic Hudson Valley venues, each one an important attraction. Washington Irving’s macabre tale The Legend of Sleepy Hollow inspires Horseman’s Hollow, an interactive haunted attraction taking place over 14 nights at Philipsburg Manor in Sleepy Hollow, an estate that dates back to colonial times. But for Halloween, it is stocked with professional actors and state-ofthe-art special effects and lighting. Take note: Horseman’s Hollow has a high fear factor, which is why it is so popular with teenagers. (Recommended for ages 10 and up.) Irving’s ‘Legend,’ recommended for ages 10 and up, brings the master storyteller Jonathan Kruk into the historic, candlelit interior of Sleepy Hollow’s circa-1685 Old Dutch Church, where for 14 afternoons and evenings he offers a dramatic

The Legend Behind the ‘Legend’ is a daytime experience at Washington Irving’s Sunnyside homestead in Tarrytown, N.Y., that highlights the author of the famous story. And continuing for a record 32 selected evenings through Nov. 13, The Great Jack

O’ Lantern Blaze® is the Hudson Valley’s biggest all-ages Halloween extravaganza. A small team of artists comes together to carve more than 7,000 jacks, many fused together in elaborate constructions such as lifesize dinosaurs and eight-foot-tall working jack-o’lanterns-in-the-box, all lit up throughout the wooded walkways, orchards, and gardens of historic Van Cortlandt Manor in Croton-on-Hudson, N.Y.

‘Legend of Sleepy Hollow’ Halloween Events – Ghouls & All – Return to Historic Hudson Valley Continued from page D1 Philipsburg Manor, one of the Historic Hudson Valley historic sites, you can easily imagine the “Legend of Sleepy Hollow” as Irving saw it in his mind. Now in its 7th year, Horseman’s Hollow, which welcomed more than 30,000 visitors last year, is a haunted experience in the heart of Sleepy Hollow that takes the tale of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow to its darkest extremes. Historic Philipsburg Manor transforms into a terrifying landscape ruled by the undead, the evil, and the insane, all serving the Headless Horseman himself. For 14 nights, historic Philipsburg Manor transforms into a terrifying landscape ruled by the undead, the evil, and the insane, all serving the Headless Horseman himself. The 300-year old manor house, barn and gristmill of the Philipses, a family of Anglo-Dutch merchants who owned the 50,000 acre- estate, become the sets and the backdrop for the really, really ghoulish hauntings by colonial spirits. Haunted house professional Lance Hallowell is back this year to lead a crew of award-winning makeup and costume designers and a 45-memberstrong cast of experienced actors to create an immersive, interactive, pleasantly terrifying experience, with state-of-the-spooky-art special effects. Custom built set pieces and periodcorrect costumes help orient the experience in Philipsburg Manor’s traditional time period of the mid-1700s. What is best about Horseman’s Hollow is the sheer number (and

The Headless Horseman comes out of the shadows at Horseman’s Hollow, at Philipsburg Manor in Sleepy Hollow, NY © 2016 Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com talent) of the live spirits – they are very considerate, too – they seem to know just how much to terrify you (though really squeamish and young children should not come). I have found that if the ghouls sense you are easily frightened (like me), they tend to take down a notch their scare factor (I basically announce that I am easily frightened as I enter one of the venues). But the professional actors and stateof-the-art special effects, contributes to a high fear factor (it’s recommended for ages 10 and up and is not for the squeamish and you need to take heed of

the warning: This event is NOT suitable for adults who are claustrophobic, have heart or respiratory conditions, are prone to seizures, or have other chronic health conditions.) As we start our experience, walking up a dirt path that rings the pond, a faceless colonial escorts us for a time, then goes into the trees to surprise a group of teenagers who are following behind. With each step through the woods, you leave the modern world behind and suspend disbelief. Timed tickets mean that it isn’t overcrowded (safety in numbers?) – but

as we walk through (guided by helpful spirits with lanterns who lead us to the next haunted house), we hear the screams of a pack of teenage girls in the distant dark. It adds to the atmosphere. Look carefully in the deepest, darkest shadow, and there is the Headless Horseman himself, astride his steed, standing quietly as if taking in the scene or simply delighting in the terror of recognition as the clueless passerby realizes who is lurking in the dark. Horseman’s Hollow dates are Oct. 7-9, 14-16, 21-23, 27-31. Online tickets are $20 ($25 on Saturdays). Fast Track, for a $15 per ticket upgrade, lets visitors skip the line in their timeslot. Historic Hudson Valley members receive a$5 per ticket discount. Philipsburg Manor is at 381 North Broadway (Route 9) in Sleepy Hollow. (There is a parking field.) Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze The Great Jack O’ Lantern Blaze, which drew more than 130,000 visitors last year, features more than 7,000 illuminated, individually handcarved jack o’ lanterns. Elaborate single-pumpkin carvings and huge multi-jack o’lantern constructions are professionally lit throughout the landscape of Van Cortlandt Manor in various themed areas. Favorite installations such as Jurassic Park and the giant spider web are joined this year by new creations including a plus-sized Pumpkin Planetarium, a Pumpkin Zee Bridge, and a brand-new herd of pint-sized dinosaurs all made of jack o’lanterns.

October is Plan-a-Cruise Month, CLIA Shares Top Reasons to Cruise (WASHINGTON, DC) — October is Plan a Cruise Month and Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) is celebrating all cruise travel has to offer by highlighting the benefits of cruising over land travel. From ease of travel to the best return on experience, cruise travel has a leg up on land-based travel any time of year. According to Cruise Lines International Association’s (CLIA) 2016 State of the Cruise Industry report, cruise travel is outpacing landbased general leisure travel by 22 percent in the United States. “Cruise travelers know that cruising offers a chance to completely customize your vacation and create the trip of your dreams,” said Cindy D’Aoust, president and CEO, CLIA. “The benefits of cruise travel over land-based travel are exponential and the cruise industry is excited to share them with travelers in honor of Plan a Cruise Month.” Five benefits of cruise-based travel versus land-based travel: • Convenient Cruising: The cruise industry is constantly expanding availability of ports, both domestically and internationally, meaning travelers have never had so much access to a cruise ship with many of them are within driving

distance of major cities. Cruising internationally also offers travelers a less intimidating chance to sample different destinations while negating anxieties about dealing with foreign airports, hotels and transportation. Cruising gives travelers the chance to see, do and experience great things from all over the world, packing as little or as much into their trip as they’d like, but their suitcase only needs to be unpacked once. • A Cruise for Every Traveler: A cruise vacation affords travelers a chance to create a trip that is completely customized to their tastes and preferences. Whether a traveler hopes to indulge in a luxe massage every morning or check out a spin class, a cruise can be tailored to every kind of traveler. From yoga classes for kids to craft beer tastings for adults, travelers of all ages don’t need to worry about being bored onboard. • Diverse Destinations: Both ocean and river cruising allow travelers to see exotic and unique destinations. Ocean cruisers can look forward to distant voyages around the globe and river cruises offer a chance to sail more intimate spaces. Whether traveling by ocean or river, cruises offer the chance to visit far ends of the Earth all in one single trip.

• Experts at the Ready: A certified cruise travel agent help travelers partake in a nearly hands-free vacation planning experience while also lending an ear for questions once onboard. Agents can help travelers maximize their dollars, tailor activities to each guest’s preference, and help scout out the best excursions, among other things. •Best Return of Experience: Cruising offers travelers

a window to the world within their vacation budget. Instead of having to worry about travel, hotel, transportation, meals and entertainment costs, many cruisers pay one flat fee and travelers are able to enjoy paradise.

Cruisewatch: Why You Should Book a Cruise Five Weeks Before it Sets Sail HANNOVER, Germany -- A study by cruisewatch.com, a next-generation cruise search engine with an innovative decision support system, finds prices for cruise sailings are cheapest five weeks before setting sail. Have you ever experienced checking cruise prices and finding they are high and then upon checking again later prices have decreased? The biggest factor you should consider in saving money is to determine the right moment when to book a cruise, says cruisewatch.com. Based on an elaborate study that considered more than 25,000 cruise sailings, cruise

prices drop the lowest five weeks before departure, according to cruisewatch. com. The best discounts, they say, can be found in the weeks prior to sailing, with average reductions of 4 percent for interior and ocean-view cabins. But that is just the average. Not fully sold sailings can be discounted up to 40 percent. “If you’re flexible regarding the cruise sailing, ship, or departure date, you can save big money by booking short term.

Unabashed gawking over movie stars BY CLAIRE LYNCH I found myself using the word “gawking” an awful lot recently – and then I stopped short because gawking is not a word I use often. At all. The reason was a camera crew company set up shop and started filming one Friday night in August at the apartment complex I live in. Management had told all of us residents ahead of time that this would be happening – and warned us about traffic jams, the inability to get in or out of the complex, a reduced number of parking spaces in the complex and so on. It turns out that the camera crew was filming an outdoor scene for the upcoming movie, “Going Places.” It is being directed by John Turturro who starts in it and who also wrote the screenplay. The film also features Susan Sarandon, Bobby Cannavale and Audrey Tautou. Sonia Braga is in the movie, too. She starred in the “Kiss of the Spider Woman” along with Raul Julia and William Hurt (which came out in 1985). It turns out that “Going Places” is a remake of the 1974 French film “Goin Places” (“Les Valseuses), which starred

Miou-Miou, Gérard Depardieu and Patrick Dewaere. It was directed by and based on the novel by Bertrand Blier. John Turturro’s version of “Going Places” follows a trio of misfits who constantly get into trouble. In the French film, Depardieu and Dewaere played young men who travel around France committing petty crimes and running from the law. When they make enemies with a gun-toting hairdresser, their journey becomes one of constant escape. (variety.com) It’s also a spin-off of the Coen brothers’ “The Big Lebowski” (1998) and John Turturro’s role as Jesus Quintana. Quintana is a loud-mouth opponent of the bowling league team that includes the characters played by Jeff Bridges, John Goodman and Steve Buscemi. The Quintana character spoke with a thick accent and danced backwards. So a new movie is coming down the pike. But first some filming has to take place. That sets the stage (figuratively and literally) for all of the gawking that went on near my place on Aug. 19. Early in the day the camera crews set up stage across the street in the parking lots of quite a few stores on Jericho Tpke. They were getting ready for a

G O I N G P L A C E S, N E A R & F A R ....

night-time shot in our parking lot. Several trucks arrived and started unloading the equipment. The workers got organized then started dragging their huge camera equipment across the street for set-up in my complex’s parking lot. Workers rolled big black tripods across the street. Cables were carried carefully and other equipment was moved on carts from the north side of the street to the south side. They were busy as bees and everyone seemed to know what they were doing. With all of this moving of equipment, traffic on Jericho Tpke. in Carle Place came to a halt temporarily. They “rolled the film” as they say between about 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. Bright lights lit the scene. The workers were focused. Perhaps I’ll recognize the shot – and the setting – when the movie comes out. If I see it. The plot doesn’t exactly sound like my kind of movie. Not my cup of tea … Anyway once the trucks filled with the camera crews and camera equipment rolled in, people shopping at the adjacent stores were curious. What was going on? Which movie was being filmed? Which movie stars would they

see and more importantly, who would they recognize from the Big Screen? As I drove home from work on Jericho Tpke. that afternoon, I looked to my right and saw the throngs of people who seemed to be fascinated by all of the commotion. I guess it’s not every day that we have a film crew filming a big-time movie in a Carle Place parking lot. Parking my car, I went into my apartment, relaxed and ate dinner. My friend and I visited a friend’s apartment whose windows look out onto Jericho Tpke. We had a birds-eye view of the setting up and we were amused by the onlookers’ reactions. People were interested (read that “nosy!”). We had some cold drinks, chatted for a while and discussed the career of Susan Sarandon. I liked Sarandon in “The Witches of Eastwick,” my friend Sarah said that she was good in “Thelma & Louise” and Laurie said that she liked her in “The Rocky Horror Picture Show.” “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” came out a long time ago, 1975, but that’s what Laurie said she liked best.

You Can Save Social Security! BY TOM MARGENAU

There is no question that as the tens of millions of working and tax-paying baby boomers retire and turn into senior boomers collecting Social Security benefits, some adjustments will be needed to keep the program viable for future generations. As I pointed out in last week’s column, the system doesn’t need a massive overhaul. Just a few relatively modest tweaks to the tax and/or benefit structure will work. But even minor changes to the status quo cause consternation among both politicians and voters. Americans seem to be looking for easy answers in which no one’s benefits are cut and no one’s taxes are raised -- especially not their own! So here’s a chance for you come up with solutions to Social Security’s funding problems. Let’s see if you can save Social Security. Listed below are 10 commonly mentioned proposals for reforming Social Security. Four involve cutting benefits and four deal with raising revenues. Two more concern so-called privatization plans for the system. Next to each is a number expressed as a percentage. The number indicates the portion of Social Security’s long-range deficit that would be eliminated if the proposal became law. So if you can find solutions totaling 100 percent or more, you’ve saved Social Security! Also listed is a brief argument for and against each proposal. Proposals that would reduce benefits Raise the retirement age to 70 by 2060 -- a 68 percent fix. Why this is a good idea? --People are living longer, healthier lives and, with enough lead time, they would be able to plan for the delay in receipt of their benefits. Why this is a bad idea? --Would you really want to work until you are 70 years old? Employers will be faced with higher health care costs for older workers. Reduce cost of living adjustments paid to Social Security beneficiaries by 1/2 of 1 percent -- a 25 percent fix. Why is this a good idea? --Economists believe the current formula overstates inflation for seniors. Why is this a bad idea? --I’ve never met one senior citizen who believes the economists. Also, COLA reductions are cumulative. The longer you live, the more you will suffer financially. Reduce benefits by 5 percent for all future retirees -- a 35 percent fix. Why is this a good idea? --All retirees should share responsibility for shoring up Social Security. Why is this a bad idea? --Lower-income beneficiaries could not afford the reduction. Means test: Reduce benefits to

those making more than $100,000 -- a 50 percent fix. Why is this a good idea? --It ensures Social Security paid only to people who need it the most. Why is this a bad idea? --It would turn Social Security into a welfare program. Proposals that would raise revenues Raise Social Security payroll tax by 1/2 of 1 percent -- a 53 percent fix. Why is this a good idea? --The Social Security tax has not been increased in more than 30 years. This would be a modest price to pay for long-range Social Security stability. Why is this bad idea? --An extra tax burden would discourage savings and investment. Tax all earnings (current payroll tax base is $118,500) -- a 73 percent fix. Why is this a good idea? --It impacts only higher income people who can afford it. Why is this a bad idea? --It would be a huge tax burden for very wealthy. Make folks pay income tax on all Social Security benefits (currently only a portion is taxed) -- a 16 percent fix. Why is this a good idea? --All other pensions are fully taxed. Why is this a bad idea? --It would impact middle-income taxpayers the most. Require all state/local government workers pay into Social Security -- an 11 percent fix. Why is this a good idea? All working Americans should pay for Social Security. Why is this a bad idea? It would jeopardize many well-run government employee pension plans. Proposals that involve some form of “privatizing” Social Security Invest 40 percent of Social Security trust funds in private markets -- a 48 percent fix. Why is this a good idea? --It would yield higher rate of return than current Treasury note investments. Why is this a bad idea? --Protracted market downturns could have dire consequences on a national retirement system. And do we want the feds to own a major share of private corporations like Apple or Phillip Morris? Create personal accounts by diverting 2 percent of payroll tax to individuals -- a 0 percent fix. Why is this a good idea? --It gives individuals potentially greater returns and more of a say in their financial futures. Why is this a bad idea? --Individuals would assume all risks of retirement investments. There would be very high transition costs, running into the trillions of dollars, to switch to the new system.

--(This is a 0 percent fix because it does nothing to increase revenues or decrease spending. It merely diverts money away from the current system.)

Cruisewatch: Why You Should Book a Cruise Five Weeks Before it Sets Sail C ontinued from page D5

between the last unsold rooms. If you are keen to get a special category, especially a suite, you should book your cruise early,” explains Nina Stumpe, a cruise enthusiast and cofounder of cruisewatch.com. Prices get more dynamic short term; more expensive cabins have less or no price reductions “Cruiseline’s prices are steered mainly during the last 100 days before departure. During this ‘hot phase,’ the biggest price decreases take place, especially for interior and oceanview cabins. Interestingly the balcony staterooms, which are more expensive, are reduced less, and suites don’t get any discounts,” Stumpe says. The search engine cruisewatch.com is offering a free price drop monitoring website that utilizes big data and machine learning to help customers find the perfect time to book their cruise. Users can get notified automatically when prices are reduced or when good deals are coming up. Even a price forecast is included on the webpage. “Cruise lines invest massive amounts of resources into revenue optimization. We are leveling the playing field and offering consumers up-to-date technology to make the right decisions,” says the cruisewatch.com cofounder. According to our claim right time, right cruise right price.

Unabashed gawking over movie stars C ontinued from page D3 site to see some of the actual filming. It was a hot August night and people seemed to enjoy being out. The setup seemed to take forever so we had to wait, wait, wait. The area was coned off with those bright orange traffic cones and bystanders were kept back, of course, but we got to peek. Susan Sarandon wasn’t in the scene they filmed so she wasn’t there that night. John Turturro and Bobby Cannavale were so it was “Lights, camera, action!” Throughout it all, all I could think of was that people were definitely gawking. There is a difference between watching something and gawking.

There is a certain degree of sensationalism when people gawk. They watch unabashedly. They don’t care who sees them. Basically, they have no shame. They hope to rub elbows with some important people. They eavesdrop on other people’s conversations and hope they will hear some tidbits of information – about the filming or about the movie stars – they didn’t know before. If they are really lucky, they might get to shake hands with a star or get an autograph to take home and brag about to friends and family. According to vocabulary.com, to “gawk” is to gape, stare, or rubberneck without trying to hide the fact that you’re doing it. A “gawker” is someone who does this. A gawker might

eavesdrop on a neighboring table at a restaurant or peer towards a film set hoping for a glimpse of a movie star. Both gawker and gawk were coined in the U.S. in 1785 probably from the Middle English word “gowen,” meaning “to stare.” After all of that setting up and jockeying of cars in our parking lot, how did the filming go? It looked pretty good. Sarah, Laurie and I took a walk over and I started gawking myself. I listened to other people’s conversations to determine if I had missed anything important. I confess that I craned my neck to get a better look at the filming. Why not? I figured. It’s not often that a big camera crew with a pretty big cast comes to

Carle Place – in my own parking lot – and films a movie. I was hoping to get some autographs but didn’t have any luck that night. Maybe some other time. All I know is there was something in the air that night besides the humidity. There was a sense of excitement I had never seen before among my neighbors. People stepped livelier and chatted more excitedly. Some people spoke with neighbors they had never met before. I don’t know how this new movie is going to turn out but I do know that, for a time, there was plenty of excitement – and filmmaking action – here on Long Island!

Foods to See Better BY CHARLYN FARGO

Our eyes need the right nutrients to to help prevent cataracts, macular degeneration, glaucoma and other sight problems. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics offers five top foods for eye heath. --Kale: This leafy green is a rich source of lutein and zeaxanthin, which are related to vitamin A and beta carotene, and are believed to protect eye tissues from sunlight damage and reduce the risk of cataracts and macular degeneration. Other good sources of these eye-friendly nutrients include dark green leafy vegetables such as collard greens, turnip greens and spinach, broccoli, peas, kiwi, red grapes, yellow squash, oranges, corn, mangoes and honeydew melon. Your body needs fat to absorb lutein and zeaxanthin, so be sure to eat them with a bit of healthy fat such as a drizzle of olive oil. And kale also contains vitamin C and beta carotene, other eye-friendly nutrients. --Sweet Potatoes: These orange tubers are a good source of beta carotene, which may slow progress of macular degeneration. Your body converts beta carotene to vitamin A, a nutrient that helps prevent dry eyes and night blindness. Beta carotene and vitamin A also help reduce the risk eye infections. Other great sources of vitamin A are carrots and butternut squash, plus dark green foods including spinach and collard greens and liver, milk and eggs. It’s always best to get your nutrients from foods rather than pills. Your best sources of vitamins and antioxidants are from whole foods, since it may be a food’s combination of nutrients that have a synergistic healing effect. And, similar to lutein and zeaxanthin, beta carotene and vitamin A are absorbed best when eaten with a little healthy fat such as olive oil.

Strawberries: Fresh, juicy strawberries are a good thing for your eyes, and contain plenty of vitamin C, which is an antioxidant that can help lower your risk of cataracts. Also, be sure to load up your plate with other vitamin C-rich foods including bell peppers, broccoli, citrus (such as orange and grapefruit) and cantaloupe. --Salmon: Dry eyes? Eating enough omega-3 fatty acids can help alleviate the problem. Get some healthy fats every day in the form of salmon or other types of fish (two to three times per week), walnuts (which also include eye-healthy vitamin E), flax and chia seeds. Salmon is also a good source of vitamin D, which helps protect against macular degeneration. You can also get vitamin D by eating sardines, mackerel, milk and orange juice fortified with vitamin D. --Green Tea: A cup of green tea is more than relaxing and soothing -- its antioxidants may help lower risk of developing cataracts and macular degeneration. Green tea contains healthful substances called catcehins, which are responsible for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Other foods that are that are high in catechins include red wine, chocolate, berries and apples. Black tea also boasts catechins, but in lower amounts than its green cousin. Q and A Q: Are there benefits in consuming nuts in their raw form? A: Nuts are healthful, nutrient-dense foods that contain good amounts of fiber, protein, potassium, magnesium, antioxidants and heart-healthy monounsaturated fatty acids. They also are extremely versatile and can be used to make nut butter, ice cream, sauces and savory meals like pad Thai. Raw or roasted nuts have a very similar nutri-

tional makeup, and the oil used to roast nuts adds a negligible number of calories per serving. Steaming or roasting nuts may be required to kill harmful bacteria or mold. In California, where 80 percent of the world’s almonds are grown, steaming or fumigating the nuts is required by law, due to previous salmonella outbreaks. Therefore there are no truly raw almonds. Aflatoxin, a potentially cancerous mold found in very small amount sin some foods, may be reduced by roasting peanuts, which are technically a legume, but often categorized as a nut. Some raw versions of nuts and nut butters can be more expensive, as well. Nuts -- raw, roasted or steamed -- can add variety and good nutrition to any healthy diet. They are nutrient-dense, but also calorically dense, so monitoring serving sizes is paramount when enjoying them. -- Environmental Nutrition, October 2016. RECIPE Who doesn’t love cauliflower -- you can puree it into a crust, make it into a side dish or soup or eat in raw with a dip. It offers plenty of nutrition and very few calories. Here’s a recipe for Buttery Roasted Cauliflower that’s a great side dish. It’s from Cooking Light magazine. Buttery Roasted Cauliflower

4 cups small cauliflower florets 2 large shallots, cut into wedges Cooking spray 1 tablespoon canola oil 1 tablespoon butter, melted 3/8 teaspoon kosher salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives Fresh tarragon leaves Place a jelly-roll pan in oven and preheat oven to 450 degrees. (Leave pan in oven as it preheats.) Place cauliflower and shallots on preheated pan; lightly coat vegetables with cooking spray, and toss with oil. Bake at 450 degrees until browned and tender, about 15 minutes. Drizzle with butter; toss to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper; top with chives and tarragon, if desired. Serves 4. Per serving: 104 calories, 3 g protein, 10 g carbohydrate, 6.7 g fat, 8 mg cholesterol, 3 g fiber, 241 mg sodium.

Participants at the technology workshop for parents. On September 26, the Syosset Central School District & Syosset Council of PTAs Education Committee presented, “A Guide to Navigating Our District’s Academic Online Resources,” a technology workshop for parents in the district. Speaker Christine Payne, Staff Developer for the Syosset Central School District, addressed a full room of parents eager to learn the ins and outs of navigating Google Classroom, Parent Portal, EdLine, and other relevant apps and mobile sites

as well. Google Classroom was highlighted as a tool that is being used more and more by teachers as an addition to classroom learning. Ms. Payne also addressed the differences between the Parent Portal and Edline. The major distinction is that the Parent Portal is for parents to keep track of the student’s progress, grades, and missing assignments, and Edline is for students to keep track of their homework. Additionally, Ms. Payne spoke about how to locate and use on-line text-

books. The workshop was a huge success and was attended by parents from all seven Syosset elementary schools, the two middle schools, and the high school. More information and the handout from the workshop are available at www.syossetschools.org (under Parents/Students – Homework Online). Thank you to Lauren Goff, the Chair of the Syosset Council of PTAs Education Committee, and all committee members for organizing this very informative evening.

General tax collection closed

Oyster Bay Receiver of Taxes James J. Stefanich wishes to notify town residents that the 2016 General Tax Collection Warrant has been closed, and all related records have been turned over to the Nassau County Treasurer. The original warrant specified that $530,914,139.33 was to be collected to support Nassau County, Town of Oyster Bay, and special tax districts. Assessment reductions and tax cancellations amounted to $135,840.96 (0.025%). Nassau County’s portion was $252,013,195.04 (48%). The

Town of Oyster Bay’s portion was $95,959,448.57 (18%), and the special tax district’s portion was $173,129,409.11 (33%). A list of delinquent property payments was reported to the County Treasurer, amounting to $9,676,245.65 (1.8%). Receiver Stefanich noted that property owners with delinquent taxes would be contacted by the Nassau County Treasurer’s office. Owners will be receiving letters specifying taxes owed along with applicable penalties and late payment fees.

The 2016-17 School Tax levy bill printing will commence on October 1st, and mailing will start in early October. Receiver Stefanich asks property owners to be patient when calling the Tax Office for information on property taxes due to the usual high volume of calls received at the beginning of a new tax collection. Residents are requested to have the school district, section, block and lot numbers of the property in question available. This information is listed on the tax bill and on the property deed.
