the County Legislator position. “He is a younger guy who graduated from my school and he is not your typical corrupt politician who is just out there to win votes,” said Faimon. “That’s what motivated me to join his team and I hope I’m able to help him land a seat on the legislature.” She said that his stance on anti-corruption in politics and his battle against the ongoing opioid epidemic inspired her to join his team. As part of her internship, she helps Josh in his social media campaign, scheduling and setting up speaking events and coordinating with local groups and

After joining Jericho’s Board of Education last fall, former PTA leader Jill Citron was elected to the second-in-command position of the school board at the district’s annual re-organization meeting on Thursday, July 6. She filled the vacancy created by the resignation of longtime Jericho Board of Ed. Vice President Joseph Lorintz, who became judge of the Supreme Court 10th Judicial District in New York, after his election last November. Citron has now come full circle to replace Lorintz while taking over for another veteran leader of Jericho Public Schools, as Barbara Krieger had served as the school board vice president for most of the 2016-2017 academic year. In Jericho Schools the board president remains longtime board trustee William Ferro, On July 6, Citron volunteered to become the vice president as Krieger yielded a nomination. “For vice president I think it is important to nominate someone who is willing to go forward as president after that. Personally I have done my time as president and vice president, and I am not interested,” Krieger announced. In May’s district election both Citron and Krieger were re-elected to Jericho’s board, along with newcomer Pam Wasserman-Heath. Technically Wasserman-Heath fills a twoyear seat expiring in spring 2019, which belonged to Lorintz. Meanwhile Citron and Krieger have terms until spring 2020. Gina Levy leaves the board after her three year term as she did not seek re-election. On May 18, two days after the election, Board President Ferro explained that up until that point Citron was sitting in Lorintz’s seat on a temporary basis as she was appointed by the board. With a stark contrast, Ferro commented on Barbara Krieger’s run on the school board lasting for 18 years and the next three taking her up to 21 years’ service as Jericho Public Schools board trustee. Just after the re-organization meeting and before the regular monthly Board of Education session, 2017 candidate Sam Perlman walked in. Perlman fell short of a seat on the school board as Wasserman-Heath earned 810 votes and he earned 682. He and former Jericho board member Ira Checkla attend nearly every Jericho meeting and raise pertinent questions on the board’s agenda and looming decisions. On July 6 Checkla introduced a third audience member, as Charlotte Drogin, president of the Jericho Per Diem Substitutes’ Association, joined the board meeting. She listened as the school board approved a Memorandum of Agreement with

Interns help further legislative campaign BY GARY SIMEONE In June, Syosset resident and school board member, Josh Lafazan announced that he would be seeking a political seat on the Nassau County Legislature. At just 23 years of age, he launched his campaign on the Democratic party line for the 18th District seat held by Legislator, Don Mackenzie. Lafazan has a lot of behind the scenes help in his quest for political office. His team of over 50 college and High School interns help him with scheduling and planning speaking events, set up meetings and political functions and canvas the neighborhood to get the word out about his cam-

paign. Lafazan said he started his internship program to get the younger generation interested in politics and to get out there and be the voice of their community. “I started this program to give young people a seat at the table,” said Lafazan. “Too often, because they are too young to vote, the perspectives and ideas of youths are left unconsidered. As New York’s youngest elected official, I know all too well the power of lifting up the voices of the next generation.” One of those interns is soon to be senior at Syosset High School, Leanna Faimon. She was one of the first interns to join his team after hearing about his quest for

Rails-to-Trails Conservancy’s Sojourn Biketour on Great Allegheny Passage Showcases Forgotten Towns BY KAREN RUBIN Our first day on this year’s Rails-toTrails Conservancy’s Sojourn biketour on the Great Allegheny Passage and the Montour Trail, 140-miles biking over six days through Western Pennsylvania, brought us from Deal to Meyersdale with a side-trip that brings us across the Eastern Continental Divide (with gorgeous murals on the tunnel depicting the story),

to the Mason-Dixon Line and a striking monument. It is a relatively short ride that brings us to the tented city we create at Meyersdale’s community park. We have time to explore, and to enjoy the town’s gracious hospitality with a dinner at the firehouse and pancake breakfast, complete with Meyerdale’s famous maple syrup, in the gym of the former high school. (See “Rails-to-Trails Conservancy’s BikeTour on Great Allegheny Passage Highlights

Benefits of RailTrails” 7/7) Day 2: On the second day, we also have an option: to cruise an easy 31 miles downhill to the Confluence Outflow Campground, riding through an enchanting tree tunnel, or taking an on-the-road route to ride up to Pennsylvania’s highest point, Mount Davis. The forecast of rain all day makes the choice an easy one: the easy tree-tunnel route through tranquil forest. Despite some shelter from the trees, we get soaked, but it is a warm rain, and the amount of good cheer keeps us warmer still. The rain stops just as we arrive at Confluence, where we are greeted with two representatives of Confluence in period dress, inviting us to follow the balloons lining a route into the town center for free bike washes at the local cycle shop (and a gift!) and ice cream at the gazebo on the village green. Confluence, I am told, has a population of 700; for these two days, the census swells by 200 more. That evening, no one complains about the rain. The campground is absolutely magnificent, literally at the base below the enormous dam, constructed in 1944 to control flooding and more recently, to generate hydroelectric power. It is a popular place for fishermen. Just after our evening “talk” (a workshop on repairing our bike), and sitting around waiting for phones to recharge, we get word that there is a major storm at Ohiopyle, about 11 miles away. We

have 10 minutes before it hits us. Sure enough, small drops start to fall as I am just steps away from the tent. By the time I get there, rain is coming down in sheets. Day 3 is our “Fun Day” when we don’t cycle (unless we want to), but instead have a choice of activities: Fallingwater tour (designed by Frank Lloyd Wright), Kentuck Knob tour (designed by Frank Lloyd Wright), a rafting trip on the Middle Yough Class 1 – 2, or, the one I choose, a class 3 whitewater rafting trip on the Lower Yough. In fact, 81 of us choose this option, organized by Wilderness Voyageurs, the same company that organizes the Railsto-Trails Conservancy’s Sojourn rides including this one (the company has a catalog full of bike tours). I’ve done a fair amount of white water rafting trips in the past, but this one on the wonderfully scenic Youghiogheny River was absolutely the best – truly thrills and chills, especially since this is the only Class 3 rafting experience offered as a “guide-assisted” instead of having a guide in each raft. That means we are arbitrarily put into rafts and we “elect” a captain. This proves a great challenge and a great experience (I lasted about 5 minutes as captain, exactly one set of rapids, when one of our four rafters got bounced out and we all decided to go into other rafts, leaving one of the guides to portage the raft to a point where he could deflate it and pick it up later). Getting bounced out of the raft – going for a “swim” – is not unusual and

we have been cautioned to only wear what can get wet or lost. We aren’t really on our own – one guide positions himself on a rock and gives us hand signals how we should “attack” the rapid, where to enter and so forth (though the instructions are for naught when inexperienced paddlers can’t follow directions, forget which is left and right, or are being bounced so high, they can’t reach paddle into the water); other guides in a kayak and in a raft are there to pick up anyone who is bounced out, and three of the rafts have guides in them (that’s the one I go into). Over the course of the trip, several of us get tossed out of the raft; one fellow gets a bit beat up. There is one point, though, where we come to an ominous sign warning that anyone who doesn’t want to raft through this particular set of rapids can portage their raft around it. The reason is because there is an underwater cavern, and if you get bounced out here, it is possible to be sucked down under. (Our guide says that most people die of heart failure rather than drowning. Small comfort.) The lead guide says that if any one of us in a raft wants to portage, the whole raft has to. We are in the lead raft and get to watch everybody coming through, cheering them on. Everyone makes it through. We pull in for lunch at a small lagoon – we fill pita with chicken salad (fantastic) or tuna, cheese, lettuce and tomato, and have a wonderful time before continuing on down the river. I don’t even know how long we are on the river – it all goes by so fast.

But we are back at the campground by around 3 pm. A few of us climb up to walk across the dam – the lake that was formed is popular for swimming and boating. That evening, we are regaled by Pennsylvania Jack, a storyteller, and there is a campfire with s’mores. Day 4 is our longest ride – 58 miles on the schedule (albeit mostly downhill), but with an option that increases the distance to a touch over 62. This section of the Great Allegheny Passage, between Confluence and West Newton, where we camp, is the most scenic, with much of it going through the stunning Ohiopyle State Park (Pennsylvania’s largest in land area). We ride along the river for just about the entire distance. When we reach the Ohiopyle State Park Visitors Center, about 11 miles into the ride, I go off the trail to do a hike that I had heard about the year before: Cucumber Falls. I had seen a painting of it in the Visitors’ Center, where there is an excellent historic exhibit, and heard about a hike starting a short walk from the center, and always regretted not doing the hike then. “Follow the yellow feet on the sidewalk,” they tell me. The hike is just about 25 minutes each way – a little over a mile – and proves absolutely enchanting: you follow yellow markings on trees and rocks, do some scrambling, and then, you make a turn and there ahead of you is the most magnificent falls, tucked into the woods. I felt as if I were John Muir coming upon Yosemite Falls for the first time. The lighting is perfect – just a touch

of sunlight hitting the waterfall. It is a magical experience and I am transfixed. (I heartily recommend this hike, which should add 1 to 1 ½ hrs to the day’s ride time.) I’m calculating the extra time, as I get to mile 25.9 (not even halfway), when we have another option: to steer off about 2.1 miles on the Sheepskin Trail connector off the GAP, to go into the tiny town of Dunbar. Having visited last year, I knew this was an off-trail visit not to be missed, especially when you come in this way, off a back trail (even worth the half-mile over a rocky unimproved section). ‘World’s Largest’ Glass Sculpture with Trump Connection is Boon for Dunbar You ride through woods, over the railroad tracks, over a stream, and suddenly, the forest opens up and suddenly, Dunbar appears, like Brigadoon. It is as if time stopped still. There are no people on the street. Nothing is moving. Dunbar once bustled as a manufacturing center for wire corrugated glass – the kind of glass you likely grew up with in schools and government buildings; as a transit center and coke ovens. The buildings, from 1904 and 1906 (a common date we find as we go through these small towns), look vacant now. It reminds me, again, of a movie set. We are greeted here at Dunbar’s Historical Society, housed in what used to be the US Post Office building (constructed1903-1907), which harbors a really wonderful

glass. She bought all the glass and had it moved to her Beverly Hills studio. (There is a marvelous display with photos of Pascal chiseling the “Seated Torso”.) She produced many sculptures from the Dunbar glass between 1961-67, had various gallery shows, and ultimately sold many of them to patrons including President and Nancy Reagan, Frank and Barbara Sinatra, Henry Mancini, and Armand Hammer who presented a sculpted glass necklace to Princess Diana for her wedding. In 1994, Pascal sold the Seated Torso to billionaire John Kluge for $3 million. He moved it to Charlottesville, Virginia, where it was placed in the center of a fountain in his Morven Carriage House. After Kluge died in 2010, Donald Trump purchased his estate including the carriage house. About this time, Donna Myers, Dunbar Historical Society secretary, put a question on Askart.com seeking information of the Seated Torso. In 2013, the head winemaker at the

now Trump Vineyard Winery found the two-year old question and contacted Myers, offering the Seated Torso to the Dunbar Historical Society if the society could raise the funds to move it back to Dunbar - $11,000. Trimbath tells us that once the association with Trump was known, “donations poured in.” The Dunbar Historical Society built an annex to its building, and the sculpture was officially opened to the public in May 2016 (coinciding with our Sojourn). We noticed a change from last year: the letter and photo from Donald J. Trump was moved to a slightly less prominent corner. The sculpture and the rest of the historical society is really worth seeing (www.dunbarhistoricalsociety.com). The train tracks come straight through the middle, as if a main street. On the village green is a coke oven and a memorial to those who died in a nearby mine accident. RTC has basically adopted Dunbar as an example of how a town can be

collection of artifacts. But in just the past two years, Dunbar has acquired a world-class piece of art that has put this tiny town back on the map – and not just for the internationally renowned artist, but for how the piece, “Seated Torso” – the largest glass sculpture in the world - came to Dunbar: Donald Trump. Pat Trimbath a member of the Historical Society’s board, tells us the wonderful story of a 60-year odyssey of this piece of glass, which began here as an abandoned two-ton chunk. Dunbar used to be a center for glassmaking, and specifically, the manufacture of shatterproof glass reinforced with corrugated wire but when the Pennsylvania Wire Glass Company shut down in 1955, it was full of large chunks of glass, including a two-ton piece of green/blue glass in its furnace. Artist Suzanne Regan Pascal learned of the treasure trove of glass in Dunbar in 1960 and stayed in Dunbar for an entire year, working on sculpting

revitalized through tourism and culture. Day 5: This proves our most challenging day – not just because it is 48 miles of cycling after yesterday’s long ride, but I suspect because of the humidity and also because much of it, it seems, is uphill. But it also proves very interesting, as we leave the GAP after 17 miles (just after Boston, PA, where the trail becomes very urban, bringing a certain culture shock after such pastoral scenes.). To get from the GAP to the Montour Trail, we ride six miles on urban streets, through a small town of Glassport (where we are treated to snacks and cold water at a church), ride over a bridge to Clairton that gives us an eyeful into what I expect defined Pittsburgh just a couple of decades ago: a humongous pile of coal dwarfing the trucks scooping it up, and across the railroad tracks, a giant carbon materials and chemical plant. We finally get to the beginning of the Montour Trail, which includes several places where you are See page D5

Elderly Seniors Want More From Social Security BY TOM MARGENAU

I guess it’s just a sign of the times we are living in. But I am amazed by the number of emails that I get from elderly seniors, folks in their 70s, 80s and even 90s, who are hoping to get higher Social Security benefits. Today’s column highlights some examples. Q: I am 82 years old. My wife is 78. I get $1,478 from Social Security. My wife gets $766. We started my Social Security at age 65. My wife took hers at 62. I have always been convinced that we are getting the wrong Social Security amounts. I think we should be getting more. Is there anything we can do to get our Social Security checks adjusted to the proper amounts? And shouldn’t my wife be getting more benefits on my record? A: Sorry, but there is nothing you can do about changing your own Social Security benefit checks. I have a hunch that I don’t really need to tell you that the time to question your benefit rate is not 20 years after those benefits began. You should have done so back when your Social Security checks first started. But I can tell you this. Every study I have ever seen shows that the Social Security Administration has a remarkable record of accuracy when it comes to figuring retirement benefits. It’s something like 99.8 percent. I hope you are at least able to find some comfort knowing that it is extremely likely that you are being paid correctly. And based on what you told me, it doesn’t sound like your wife is due anything extra on your account -- at least while you are alive. Many people are under the mistaken impression that a wife is always due an amount equal to half of her husband’s benefit rate. But she is due half only if she waits until her full retirement age to start here benefits. Because she took her own Social Security at 62, those benefits could only be supplemented up to about one-third of your rate. That would be about $485. Her own benefit of $766 is much more than the $485 she is due in spousal benefits. That’s why she only gets her own retirement check. And just so you know, if you die first, she will be due your full $1,478 in widow’s benefits. Or to put that another way, she will keep getting her $766 retirement benefit, and then she will start getting an extra $712 in widow’s benefits to take her total Social Security up to $1,478 per month. Q: My wife and I went to a seminar about maximizing our Social Security benefits. But we left even more confused than we went in. We are so worried that we are losing out on money. Here are our facts. I am 72. My wife is 71. I took my benefits at 66. My monthly check is $2,445.

My wife filed when she was 62. She is getting $1,488. What can we do to maximize our benefits? A: You can stop worrying and be happy! You are well past the age where you can do anything to change your Social Security benefit amounts. But as I tried to point out to other people in past columns, I think you should count your blessings. You and your wife are getting about $4,000 per month in Social Security benefits. There are millions of other senior couples out there who would love to be getting that much money. Q: I am 72 and have been getting Social Security for 10 years. My wife just turned 70. When she filed for benefits at age 62, the Social Security rep said mine was $50 more than my wife’s own retirement, so he just gave her mine. Now that she is 70, can my wife switch to her own benefits with the bonus that people get for delaying their benefits until that age? A: Despite what you may think you were told, your wife is not getting just spousal benefits on your record. She is getting her own retirement, with a little extra from your account. The rules say that anyone who takes benefits before age 66 must always be paid his or her own benefit first. So what actually happened when your wife turned 62 is that they paid your wife whatever she was due on her own retirement record. And then they supplemented that with the extra $50 on your account. So that means there is nothing for her to switch to now. She is getting everything she is due from Social Security. Q: I am 77 years old. I worked for the federal government and get a civil service pension of $4,500 per month. My wife is 72 and gets $1,466 monthly from Social Security. We just returned from a maximizing Social Security seminar. The guy putting on the seminar said I should be able to claim husband’s benefits on my wife’s Social Security record. But when I went to the Social Security office to do that, I was told I can’t. So who is right: the financial planner or the Social Security clerk? A: The Social Security representative is correct. The fact that you are getting such a big civil service retirement pension precludes you from getting any spousal benefits from Social Security. Q: I am 83. I am getting $1,444 per month in widow’s benefits from my husband’s record. I know from talking to other widows in the neighborhood that I should be getting more. Some women are getting more than $2,000 per month. Why am I getting such a small amount? A: I really shouldn’t be so flip about this, but I’m tempted to say that you are getting a smaller Social Security check

because you married the wrong guy! A widow’s benefit is based on her husband’s basic Social Security rate. And that rate is based entirely on his earnings. In other words, the more money a guy makes, and the more taxes he pays, the higher his Social Security check is going to be. So all those widows you know who claim to be getting higher Social Security checks must have been married to men who made more money than your husband did. Or, it also might be that they started getting widow’s benefits at a later age.

For example, if you started getting widow’s benefits at age 62, you are probably getting about 82 percent of your husband’s basic benefit. But if another woman started getting widow’s benefits at her full retirement age (currently age 66), she’d be getting 100 percent of her husband’s Social Security.

At one point, I ride around a bend and find myself in a different time zone or the Twilight Zone – a hodgepodge of train cars, trucks, firetrucks, gas pumps and signs from the 1940s or so, as if they were just left there. After a rocky start,

This last day’s ride also lets us see some of the “hybrids” and innovations in repurposed multi-use trails – a section of the Montour is a trail-besidea-rail – the multipurpose trail is carved out of the right-of-way beside the active rail line.

Bugs and Beetles BY JEFF RUGG

What is bugging your garden? Q: We have some ugly bugs in our yard. They are black or dark-brown and only about a half-inch long, and they have a very long beak. What are they, and are they dangerous? A: You sent me a picture to make identification easier. It is an assassin bug. To many people, any insect is a bug, but only one group is really called bugs. The bugs are in the order hemiptera, and there are about 4,500 species in this order in North America. Some, like water boatmen or backswimmers, are aquatic and not classified as bugs. Most are plant eaters or prey on other insects. Bed bugs are a small group that feed on people and other mammals, as well as birds. One thing that characterizes all true bugs is a visible triangle in the area between their shoulder blades. It is usually shaped by the overlapping folding of their wings across their back. Some insects appear to have a triangle on their back but their wings form a straight line down the middle of their back. Some bugs do not have wings, but those that do have four wings. The hind wings are thin membranes with veins laced across them. The forewing is thicker closer to the body and a thin membrane farther out from the body. When viewed from above, the assassin bug’s body sticks out wider than its wings. The long legs and antennae give the bug the appearance of a small walking stick. There is a groove across its cone-shaped head connecting its eyes. These agile insects are very beneficial for landscapes. They kill many soft-bodied insects by sucking them

dry. If you have ever seen a video of them on one a nature show, you know what I mean. There are many things going on in the natural world that you probably don’t want to know about or watch during dinner. Another beneficial predatory insect that is known as a bug is the lightning bug, or firefly. It is neither a fly nor a bug; it is a beetle. They are among the most unique animals of all. They can produce light at will. Some other animals glow, but lightning bugs can turn their light on and off in a pattern. In fact, the pattern is very important. Typically, the female stays on a leaf and watches for a specific pattern from a flying male. When she sees it, she signals back and he comes to her. In a cruel turn of events, some species are predatory on other lightning bugs and use the prey’s pattern to lure them in to become dinner. Each species has a specific pattern. They can differ in the duration of flashes, number of flashes and color of flashes. Some species start signaling before sunset, and others do not start until afterward. Most only signal for a short length of time each day. It is entertaining to watch kids try to catch lightning bugs, as well as try to see more than one species by counting the flashes. They are out flashing in my neighborhood and will continue for several months. The eggs are laid in summer and fall and hatch to larvae. The larvae are also predatory. They overwinter as larvae and pupate in the spring. June bugs are also beetles, not bugs. They are the large brown insects are attracted to your porch lights in the summer. If you knock one down to the

ground, it sometime cannot right itself. The females lay eggs on green irrigated lawns. If the summer is rainy, many lawns may be green and no lawn will have too many larvae. The larva known as a grub. If there are not very many in

Pet CPR & First Aid Class

Do you know how to help your pet in an emergency? Last Hope is hosting a Pet CPR & First Aid course, together with Paws N Claws 911, on Sunday, July 16th from 12 to 4 PM. The class will be held at the Bide-a-Wee building, across the parking lot from the Last Hope adoption center, at 3300 Beltagh Avenue in Wantagh. Taught with a “real world” approach by a 25+ year pre-hospital care provider and educator, training is geared toward pet parents, pet care professionals, animal rescue volunteers and emergency service personnel. It includes lecture and demonstration with an emphasis on hands-on practice to ensure proficiency in the life saving skills taught. Cost is $65 and includes a detailed handbook, certificate of completion and emergency muzzle. A portion of the proceeds will benefit Last Hope Animal Rescue in their mission to help pets.

Jill Citron new Jericho BOE Vice President

From page 1 the Jericho Substitutes’ Association. The new agreement covers six years retroactive from July of 2015 through June 2021. After five years continuous service to Jericho union members will receive an additional $600 on their June paycheck; after ten years that sum would be $1,200. Association members will be able to accumulate up to 15 paid sick days from the district. By 2020, the per-day rate for union substitutes at Tier 1 moves up from $119 now to $131. Krieger asked to clarify part of the agreement about the district providing substitutes with a computer and WiFi access. The agreement originally called for unit members to receive “a computer with internet access and a district email address, school mailbox, and a locker if assigned to a second floor of a building.” Also professional development with the use of technology was stated in the agreement, with pay on a pro-rata share of a daily (per diem) rate if training is offered outside of a regular work day. Drogin told Krieger that the in-district computer use was acceptable in the faculty rooms or computer labs, locations where internet and computers are available to substitutes for use. Ferro thanked the Jericho Substitutes’ Association for their cooperation and working with the district. Krieger asked about back pay for union members who worked without an agreement, and Assistant Superintendent Victor Manuel says once the MOA was signed within one to two payroll cycles the pay would be processed. The Board of Education also approved a resolution for the New York State Retirement System Standard Work Day for employees with one-year status of employment, from July 1 through June 30, 2018, as eight hours inclusive of one hour for lunch. Citron quickly asked if the law carries this stipulation and Manuel said the law was implemented last year by the State Comptroller. A resolution had not been formally adopted previously although Jericho held the standard. Citron asked about leftover funds in the district Student Activity Fund revenue account, and Manuel explained that any positive balance carries over into the next graduating class year. “If it is the Class of 2017 for example that would go into the Class of 2018 if it still has a balance,” he said. Citron asked what happens if student clubs and organizations raise money for a school year, and Manuel says their funds carry over directly. Krieger said a club’s sales (cash) from a previous year’s homecoming and a fundraising item like candy could be used to purchase inventory for the same cause the following school year even though new students are in charge. The district’s law firm, Ingerman Smith LLP, will receive a two percent increase in its contract with Jericho Schools. Auditors are also contracted, and Manuel explained to the board that every five years the school district must put out an RFP (request for proposals) to complete its municipal bid process. Finally, last week Krieger made a motion to change the date of the Jericho school board’s August meeting to Wednesday, August 9 at 7 pm, moving it 24 hours back from the original schedule, and the board approved that change.

Interns help further legislative campaign From page 1 Civic organizations. “All of the interns are split into different groups and my groups job is to coordinate speaking events at places like local church’s, mosque’s and women’s organizations,” said Faimon. Faimon said she has always had an interest in law and politics and joining the internship team has helped her gain a broader perspective of the political world. “I could definitely see myself running for political office someday.”

There is no place like Berry Hill

The Berry Hill PTA hosted the annual Staff Recognition Luncheon. Faculty and staff were celebrated at a Wizard of Oz-themed lunch, complete with whimsical decorations and keepsake photos and favors. A team of PTA volunteers transformed the Berry Hill all-purpose room for a lovely lunch and helped serve faculty and staff. A highlight of the luncheon was the announcement of Jenkins Award winners,

awards that recognize an individual for their outstanding contributions to students and to the PTA. This year’s winners included second grade teachers Melissa Kessler and Eva Kaplan, school monitor Marie Lobody and custodian Jim O’Malley. The Staff Recognition Luncheon is always a wonderful way for parents to show support and appreciation to the hard working teachers and staff of Berry Hill.

Melissa Kessler, a Berry Hill second grade teacher, accepted a Jenkins Award.

The Berry Hill Staff Recognition Luncheon wouldn’t be a success without the amazing PTA volunteers that help set-up and serve teachers and staff.

Principal Mary Kolkhorst pictured with fifth grade choral students who entertained staff by singing “Somewhere Over The Rainbow” at the luncheon.

Personal congratulations to Bert from Tracey Epstein & Yvonne Leippert.

Berry Hill’s staff enjoyed a relaxing Wizard of Oz-themed lunch with colleagues.
