Jericho Board considers adding student seat

updated. “I think it is fair for our residents especially with our ever growing technology, that we have a new study to look into the effects of these type of devices,” said Saladino. The Supervisor said he has called on his State representatives in Albany, including State Senator, Chuck Schumer and Kristen Gillibrand to look into

For the remainder of the 2016-2017 school year the Jericho High School Student Council will be running elections to determine its co-presidents for next school year, plus taking aim on a new endeavor. At the Jericho Board of Education meeting on Thursday, April 20, a discussion ensued as the High School Student Council mentioned its recent work with the Board of Education to create a “Student Board Representative” position in Jericho. School boards in some other high-achieving districts in the region host a high school student, usually a senior, at their executive table at board meetings throughout the year and allowing them the opportunity to provide announcements and updates as well as input on meeting topics. For Jericho, the plans are to be a bit more involved. The High School Student Council completed research on a student board rep. position by contacting counterparts in those roles at both Uniondale Public Schools and at the Miami-Dade School District in south Florida. More information came about from researching NYSSBA, the New York State School Board Association’s annual conference. The students came back interested in the role, and the Council recommended a formal position to be established going forward. High School Class of 2017 President Chase Serota explained the need to create the seat in Jericho. “We felt that the student council report we now have from the Middle School and High School is very effective in a lot of ways – number one it provides an opportunity for student council to communicate with the community and board about different events going on at the schools and to keep everyone appraised of events. The one place we felt it lacks is for student council to have a two-way line of communication with the school board, in terms of addressing issues and decisions the board is making and allowing us to give our feedback from a consensus of the student body. A representative provides a student perspective on an ever-changing district and acts as a liaison. A representative also works with student councils from all levels, kindergarten through 12th in an effort to listen to the opinions of all students for the board. A representative serves as a point of reference for school functions working with the student councils – this is a third responsibility and we felt it could be streamlined here instead of separate events with the student councils, we could have one event to fundraise,” Serota said. He mentioned the ability to comment on board moves as well as big-picture issues like the renovations of school district facil-

Town wants law change on cellular devices BY GARY SIMEONE There have been a rash of phone calls to the Town of Oyster Bay recently from residents who are concerned about the newly installed cellular phone repeaters in their neighborhoods. From Woodbury to Syosset, residents have called in worried about the health effects of the box like repeaters being installed within feet from their homes.

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor, Joe Saladino said that he hopes to quell the fear of residents by doing three things. Those things include initiating a study into the possible adverse effects of newer cellular technology, changing the law so local municipality’s can stop the installation of these devices until medical studies are completed and have a mandate that medical studies must be constantly

Town installs new speed limit signs in Jericho

Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor Joseph Saladino assisted the Town’s Highway Department in making our streets a little safer this week by placing speed limit signs along the southern service road of the Long Island Expressway in Jericho. After receiving numerous concerns from residents in the community, Nassau County Police reached out to the Supervisor’s Office asking for the Town’s assistance. As this stretch of roadway, known locally as South Marginal Road, is part of the Long Island Expressway service road, there had been no previously assigned speed limit. Upon surveying other local streets with similar configuration, it

was determined that the appropriate limit on this stretch of the service road would be 45mph. Super visor Saladino met with Nassau County Highway Patrol and members of the Town’s Highway Department to install a total of three new signs, designating the area speed limit to 45 miles per hour. “It is so gratifying to see the local community, local police department, and Town government come together for the betterment and overall safety of our residents,” Supervisor Saladino said. “These new speed limit designations will help keep our streets a little safer, helping to provide peace of mind to our neighbors and hardworking police force.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Email: Editor@GCNews.com

Supports Wasserman-Heath To the Editor: I have lived in Jericho for over 20 years and have children who have gone through the Jericho schools as well as a son who is still within the school system. With the upcoming school board vote, we must consider what is important in a school board member. Our school board members are advocates for public education in our community and our students in our school system. We need someone who can face issues, evaluate facts and act in our students’ best interest. That person must be able to consider the interests of all our students, including how different issues may affect the members of our changing community. For these reasons, I support the candidacy of Dr. Pam Wasserman-Heath. As a previous Jericho student herself, and as the parent of current Jericho students, she knows the impact that Jericho education and extra-curricular activities have on a student’s life. As a professional in the mental health field, she understands the repercussions of decisions that affect our students and our community. She is well suited to comment on the anti-bullying and inclusive programming Jericho promotes. When faced with a choice between standing by or acting, she consistently “leans in” to a problem - she learns the most she can about a situation and the ramifications of a decision, and then she acts. While not afraid to fight to achieve her objectives, she consistently builds relationships, treating all actors with a respect that achieves results. Her ability to objectively consider issues, act after determining action needs to be taken, and build productive relationships with those around her while achieving her goals, has led to leadership positions both in the Jericho school community as a Co-President of Jackson Elementary PTA and Vice President of the Joint Council of the PTA, and as a board member of North Shore Synagogue.

As we all know, the quality of our school district is not only essential to the well-being of our students - it’s a foundation of the strength and health of the Jericho community as a whole. This means that our school board members have an ideal opportunity to promote the well-being of our community while promoting the interests of our students. To accomplish these goals, we need members who can both fight for what they know must be done and work cooperatively to reach those objectives. I hope you join Jericho residents on May 16th to vote for the board member of your choice, and that you consider Pam Wasserman Heath when doing so. Allison Plesur

Jericho Board considers adding student seat

From page 1 ities, investing in the use of technology in schools’ classrooms and the changes to the annual school year calendar. That topic came up for much discussion this year in Jericho and beyond as Eid and Diwali were up for consideration after Lunar New Year was added in December, for early 2018. Getting the student board representative seat ready for Jericho takes a procedure. Superintendent of Schools Hank Grishman spoke about the Student Board Representatives program, saying the school board “wanted to put their toe in the water and see how it appears and unfolds.” He says the board wanted to ask School Board Attorney Chris Powers about legal options of creating that student role going forward. Powers was at the April 20 meeting, he spoke about a 2003 amendment to the state Education Law.

Formal process to appoint student

“There’s actually a formal process to appoint a student board member, and believe it or not it actually requires a formal vote on a proposition, taken on the same day as the voting of the district budget (Tuesday May 16). It can only be put forth to voters every two years. I can give the district two options; the first being the formal process identified by statute, submitting the actual choice of a student board member to the community for popular vote. The next step would be selecting that student member – and that student member is allowed to attend all board meetings and all hearings but they do not vote. They are not required to or permitted to participate in board execu-

tive sessions as well,” Powers said. He says state statute also requires the Student Board Representative to be a senior and to have attended the high school for at least two years. Only one student can serve in the position at a time. The question of picking the student representative took more detail. “Then you (the school board) have choices of one of six categories that determines who that student is going to be. The first could be the duly-elected president of the high school, second it could be a student duly elected by the student body. Third, it can be a student selected by the student government. The fourth option is for the high school principal to make the determination, the fifth option is for the superintendent of schools to select them, and the final option is for the Board of Education to take a majority vote to select the student,” Powers explained. An alternative is for a less formal approach. An informal student representative(s) would attend board meetings, where they would not be voted for in any fashion, and multiple students can serve simultaneously. Powers says this option differs from what he’s witnessed with the high school over many years where the Jericho student body presidents or representatives come up and report. “At one point in your meeting agendas, similar to what Jericho has now on its agenda, the board president turns to the representatives and asks them to report on issues out from the student body or school. The board of education at that point could ask the representative for their opinions on certain things before the board. You can make it more formal

by having them sit at the dais or stay for the entire meeting. Similarly they can never vote,” said Powers. Serota and his “co-attendee,” Grade Representative for 2017 Kasha Bhatia, had attended the last school board work session prior to the April 20 board meeting. Serota says the person to serve in a student-board position should attend at least a few work sessions as it helped them understand board issues and facilitate communications between administration and school board trustees and students. “We were able to provide the students’ opinions on a variety of issues that the board members asked us about at the work session. Kasha and I found it to be very effective, and it was helpful for them to listen to students directly at the work session and hearing how they are affected or could possibly be affected by potential board decisions,” he said. School Board Trustee Barbara Krieger asked Powers why the informal position was not in practice so much, despite its lack of process compared with an elected role. “Is there any reason we need to have to go through the formal vote?” she said. “Frankly I do not see the need for it but that is part of the statute,” Powers told her. Board member Jill Citron agreed with Krieger’s point, saying since there is no difference in participation of a student board representative (voting for board items) there wasn’t a need for the formal process. Serota said a student representative sitting up on the dais would be a chance for the student board representative to comment directly on any presentation or initiative before the board, done in an

organized way with that student signaling their wish to comment to the school board president. “We recommend the student to have an opportunity just like a standard board member to ask questions and give their comments. These could be any be any number of things such as short anecdotes that support or do not support the topics on hand based on student experiences related to those agenda items, or even praising students or teachers on various accomplishments, given that students have a different perspective on how these achievements are impacting them,” he said on April 20. In his comments to the school board and the administration, Serota noted the “Learning Empathy: Acknowledging Diversity” initiative between Jericho and Uniondale High School, working with High School Social Worker Todd Benjamin, Assistant Principal Dagoberto Artiles and Superintendent Grishman. This has opened up new dialogues among students and families and built a bridge between two very different communities. School Board President William Ferro made sure that the community knew that all school board work sessions, typically held in the district’s conference room, are open public meetings. A student board representative and anyone else could sit in and participate but doing the same for executive sessions would not be an option due to the law. “We should continue discussions on this and figure out which way is best to go, and we will do that in conjunction with the student council,” Ferro said.

Town wants law change on cellular devices From page 1 the matter. “My stance is I’m with the residents on this and I’m not going to just blindly follow our Federal government or big business who say that these devices are perfectly safe.” The cell phone repeaters or boost-

ers are meant to improve reception in dropped coverage areas. They are not just a Long Island issue, as they are actively being installed in cities and towns throughout the country. Saladino said that in 1999 the Town tried taking a cell phone provider to court to prevent the building of cellular

towers. “We ended up losing that trial because it was found we were without merit to try to prevent these towers from being built,” said Saladino. He said that the reasons the Town sought for preventing the building of cellular towers included health effects

on nearby communities, reduction of property values and overall neighborhood aesthetics. In the meantime, he said that he feels the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) should have a moral responsibility to address the concerns of the residents.

The Robert Seaman Elementary School Community Service Committee spearheaded a monetary donation fundraiser named Helping Hands For Nico Vigliotti and his paving pathways for tomorrow organization. The Jericho Community came out in force and raised over $5000.00 for jericho resident Nico Vigliotti and his Paving Pathways for Tomorrow Foundation. Nico Vigliotti, A Jericho native and student, was born with a rare lung disease called Chromosomal Deletion 14 that cripples his lungs. The disease is so rare that as of today, Nico is one of only 2 children in the world that have been diagnosed with it. Along with the monetary donations, the students colored cut out hands which were lined and displayed throughout the school hallways. The committee members hand delivered the money to Nico’s mother Ms. Debbie Vigliotti at a fundraiser/release party for Nico, where they were celebrating the “soon to be released” song Nico Vigliotti co-wrote with singer/songwriter/musician Peter Shaw and Mr. Walter Winston O’Neil. After hearing one of Mr. Shaw’s songs, Nico reached out to him via Social Media to ask if he would help him write a song to raise money for his foundation. Mr. Shaw inspired by Nico, his courages fight for life, and his passion to fulfill his lifelong dream of writing a song, donated his time and talent and created The song “I can wait for Heaven” derived from Nico’s original title, “I sure don’t want to go to Heaven”. After only 4 meetings together the song was completed and recorded in New York, then passed on to a Nashville producer who was able to have Faith Hills band lay down the track. The completed song is set to be released on iTunes This May with all proceeds going to

Community Service Committee members presenting Ms. Vigliotti with the donations the Pathways for Tomorrow Foundation, A nonprofit foundation started by Nico Vigliotti for the purpose “To bring awareness to the world community about the often unbearable emotional and financial burdens faced daily by single parent households as they care right in their own homes, for their children, who have rare/or orphan illnesses”.

Syosset resident reenlists in National Guard

Major General Anthony P. German, the Adjutant General, announces the recent reenlistment of members of the State National Guard in recognition of their continuing commitment to serve community, state and nation as part of the Army National Guard. Specialist Raymond Kim, of Syosset, has reenlisted to continue service with the Company E (Forward Support Company Infantry), 427th Brigade Support Battalion. “New Yorkers count on our Citizen Soldiers to be ready and be there when disaster strikes,” German said. “And

our nation counts on our Soldiers when duty calls for overseas service. I congratulate our members for choosing to stay in service and striking that balance between military duties, education or employment commitments and family obligations.” “Every one of the men and women serving in our 16,000 strong Army and Air National Guard plays an important role and these Soldiers who continue to reenlist provide experience and continuity for whatever challenges lay ahead for our New York National Guard family.”

Free legal consultation clinics for seniors

The Nassau County Bar Association (NCBA) provides free monthly legal consultation clinics for Nassau County residents 65 or older. Seniors have the opportunity to meet one-on-one with an attorney who volunteers to provide a half-hour private consultation on any

topic of concern. The next Senior Citizen Free Legal Consultation Clinic will be held Thursday, May 18, 9:30 a.m. – 11 a.m. at NCBA, 15th and West Streets, Mineola. This popular free program regularly fills up quickly. Registration is required by calling 516-747-4070.

San Francisco Goes All Out With Special Events, Exhibitions Marking 50th Anniversary of Summer of Love

Wes Leslie’s Wild San Francisco Summer of Love Musical Walking Tour finishes only a couple of blocks down from the entrance to Golden Gate Park (see Going Places

Near & Far,4/28), which played such a role in the Hippie Movement, and where the De Young Museum is holding the Summer of Love Experience, one of the more than 60 events, exhibitions, concerts, tours and

attractions taking place during this 50th Anniversary of the cosmic 1967 event when some 100,000 young people descended on the city. So, after walking around the famous HaightAshbury district – epicenter of

the Hippie Movement – taking in the shops and scenes that slingshot you back to the 1960s, I stroll into Golden Gate Park to the museum.

San Francisco Goes All Out WithSpecial Events, Exhibitions Marking 50th Anniversary of Summer of Love Continued from page D1

The Summer of Love Experience: Art, Fashion, and Rock & Roll, on view at the De Young Museum in Golden Gate Park through August 20, 2017, is an exhilarating exhibition of iconic rock posters, photographs, interactive music and light shows, costumes and textiles, ephemera, and avant-garde films. Part of the 50th anniversary celebration of the adventurous and colorful counterculture that blossomed in the years surrounding the legendary San Francisco summer of 1967, the exhibition presents more than 300 significant cultural artifacts of the time, including almost 150 objects from the Fine Arts Museums’ extensive permanent holdings, supplemented by key, iconic loans. As you walk in, you are immediately set on the crossroads of Haight and Ashbury streets and the pins with the iconic phrases and issues that were topof-mind of the time. You literally step into the whirling dervish that was the times – psychedelic colored lights and brash, electrified music of Janis Joplin and others provide the beat and backdrop for the exhibit that includes a two-story square darkened room with colored projections of what appear to be the shapes inside a lava lamp and bean-bags to sit on. In the mid-1960s, artists, activists, writers, and musicians converged on Haight-Ashbury with hopes of creating a new social paradigm. By 1967, the neighborhood drew as many as 100,000 young people from all over the country to this tiny neighborhood, which became the epicenter for their activities, and nearby Golden Gate Park their playground. The period was marked by groundbreaking developments in art, fashion, music, and politics (captured in the images of photojournalists and street photographers), which is what is so eloquently showcased in this exhibit. Local bands such as Jefferson Airplane and the Grateful Dead were the progenitors of what would become known as the “San Francisco Sound,” music that found its visual counterpart in creative industries that sprang up throughout the region. Rock-poster artists such as Rick Griffin, Alton Kelley, Victor Moscoso, Stanley Mouse, and Wes Wilson generated an exciting array of distinctive works featuring distorted hand-lettering and vibrating colors, while wildly creative light shows, such as those by Bill Ham and Ben Van Meter, served as expressions

San Francisco is going all out with special events, exhibitions marking the 50th Anniversary of the Summer of Love, such as the de Young Museums Summer of Love Experience: Art, Fashion, and Rock & Roll © 2017 Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com of the new psychedelic impulse. Distinctive codes of dress also set members of the Bay Area counterculture apart from mainstream America. Local designers began to create fantastic looks using a range of techniques and materials, including leatherwork, hand-painting, knitting and crotchet, embroidery, repurposed denim, and tiedye. These innovators included Birgitta Bjerke, aka 100% Birgitta; Mickey McGowan, aka the Apple Cobbler; Burray Olson; and Jeanne Rose – whose creations are also on view. The Summer of Love Experience: Art, Fashion, and Rock & Roll commemorates

an “only in San Francisco” social and aesthetic movement, and will remind museum visitors that in a time of international upheaval, the city played a vital role in changing society and amplifying the pulse of the nation. de Young Museum, Golden Gate Park, 50 Hagiwara Tea Garden Drive, San Francisco, CA 94118, 415-750-3600, ttps://deyoung.famsf.org/summer-loveart-fashion-and-rock-roll. San Francisco Goes All-Out for Summer of Love Celebration San Francisco Travel, the city’s visitors bureau, and the California Historical Society have joined forces on

the 50th anniversary of the Summer of Love, offering more than 60 exhibitions and events, plus special tours like Wild SF’s Summer of Love walking tour. At www.summerof.love, the California Historical Society provides the detailed factual and cultural context for this seminal summer through its own exhibition and work with cultural partners such as the de Young Museum. Here are more: “The Hippies” at West County Museum in Sebastopol (Thru-Dec. 2017): The West County Museum in Sebastopol presents “The Hippies”. The curators have collected memorabilia from the Hippie elders to recreate the environment that these rebels against consumerism and conformity built in the forests of Graton and Occidental 1966-1973. Morning Star Ranch in Graton was owned by Lou Gottlieb, the bassist of The Limeliters, a hit folk group of the 60’s. He opened his property to all and refugees from the Haight quickly settled in. They built their own shacks, lived without electricity and often clothes and exchanged the work ethic for the ethics of living in nature in a state of “voluntary primitivism.” Sex and drugs, pot and LSD, guitars and any handy noise makers were freely enjoyed by the denizens but not by all of their neighbors. The County Sheriff and Health Department became involved after vociferous complaints and after many fines and much legal maneuvering by Gottlieb to keep his commune open, the County bulldozers destroyed the huts, and the suddenly homeless hippies were forced to relocate. Some moved to Morning Star East in New Mexico, but others went a few miles away in Occidental where Bill Wheeler felt that he had enough land to share and the hippies moved in. The land was free to all but the living was too free for a neighbor who felt that the lifestyle was a threat to his children. Again, after legal action, the bulldozers moved in and the hippie commune era in Sonoma County came to an end. The West County Museum, 261 S. Main Street, Sebastopol, is open Thursday to Sunday, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Monterey Regional Airport: “Feeling Groovy,” Art at the Airport (Thru Fall 2017): The exhibit showcases collections that reflect music, entertainment and home life in 1960s Monterey County. Artifacts featured in the exhibit are diverse, ranging from the ordinary to the extraordinary. Visitors can view everyday objects from a 1960s kitchen, iconic fashions ranging from pill box hats to Beatle boots, and

beloved games, toys and comic books. See Nancy Carlen’s collection from the Big Sur Folk Festival, the first time these rare photographs and objects have been exhibited. Go back to June 1967 when the Monterey Pop Festival welcomed Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Otis Redding – and ushered in The Summer of Love. Each object – from transistor radios to martini glasses – will transport you back to this transformative decade. 2017 Summer of Love Street Celebrations with It’s Your District and Sunday Streets (Thru Oct. 1, 2017): In conjunction with Sunday Streets, the non-profit It’s Your District (IYD) is hosting the 2017 Summer of Love Street Celebrations. Block parties will be held at the eight Sunday Street locations, and will include Summer of Love exhibitions, art projects, live performances and family-friendly activities. In keeping with IYD’s mission, these celebrations will bring in and promote Bay Area non-profits, businesses, arts, cultural and community organizations, socially conscious enterprises and individuals who are committed to bringing forth the unheard voices of residents and in sustaining the vitality of our community district by district. Sunday Streets engages some 120,000 people annually and this number continues to grow.

One highlight of the celebration is the Public Mural Art Project which creates murals designed to educate members of the community about the history of their respective neighborhoods. The art will focus on prominent heroes and the events that have contributed to the development of San Francisco districts from the 1960s to present day. “Lavender-Tinted Glasses: A Groovy Gay Look at the Summer of Love” at the GLBT History Museum (April 7-Sept. 27, 2017): An exhibition highlighting the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender participants in the 1967 Summer of Love in San Francisco. The show also will explore the LGBTQ community’s own simultaneous cultural revolution in the city’s Tenderloin neighborhood. The stories of queer poets, philosophers, filmmakers and musicians integral to the era will be celebrated through historic photographs, artwork, film and documents from the archives of the GLBT Historical Society and private collections. de Young Museum; “The Summer of Love Experience: Art, Fashion and Rock & Roll” (April 8-Aug. 20, 2017): Through a wide array of iconic rock posters, interactive music and light shows, “out-of-this-world” clothing

BY MARJORIE GOTTLIEB WOLFE May is Jewish American Heritage Month. The holiday is an annual recognition and celebration of Jewish American achievements. Let’s take a look at the Catskills. For over half a century, Sullivan and Ulster county offered over 500 hotels and countless bungalow colonies and “kochalayns.” Let’s look at an alphabetical guide to the area.

An ad in the Forward read: CATSKILLS Town of Fallsburg, Village of Woodbridge, N. Y. 76 acres of flat land. Buildable site. Great location. Walking distance to village, house of worship, and mikveh. (914) Note: A “mikveh” or “mikve” is a ritual bathhouse.

Artificial Snow

To attract winter visitors regardless of the weather (“der veter”), Grossinger’s Hotel was the first hotel in the world to use artificial snow (in 1952.)

Bellhops/Bellboys

Bellhops were the first image of the place to the guests coming in. They were coached on how to be courteous and well groomed. Wilt Chamberlain worked as a bellhop at Kutcher’s Country Club. By day he was making $2 an hour and getting great tips from

A Guide to the Catskills

the awestruck guests as he lifted their luggage through a second story window while standing outside on the ground. At night he played on the Kutcher’s basketball team. In the early 50s. Red Buttons worked as a singing and joking bellboy at a Catskills resort. The uniform’s big buttons, combined with his red hair, earned him a stage name that stuck. Another Grossinger bellboy, Benny Rheingold, would have a stooge say, “Benny, give me a sentence with the word ENVY in it.” Rheingold would reply, “I vent to a wedding last night, envy had fish, envy had kreplach, envy had chicken, envy had strudel.” Source: “Live & Be Well” by Richard E. Shepard & Vicki Gold Levi.

Borscht Belt

This was a term used by entertainers to describe hotels in the Catskill Mountains of New York State, with an almost entirely Jewish clientele who are fond of borscht. “Borscht Belt,” “derma road” and “Jewish Alpa” are terms which are no more pejorative than New York’s “Chinatown” and “Little Italy” or Miami’s “Little Havana.” Paul Grossinger, son of Harry and Jennie Grossinger, said, “Seven days a week, 52 weeks a year, borscht in a glass was served.”

Brickman’s

There’s a Facebook group, summers

at the Brickman; it has over 338 members.

Brown’s Hotel

Brown’s was one of the largest and most elaborate establishments of its kind. Located in Lock Sheldrake, it was most successful from the 1940s to the 1980s. The hotel’s Brown Derby night club would book big name entertainers. In the summer of 1954, Jerry Lewis arranged for Brown’s to host the world premiere of his Hollywood film, “Living it Up” without telling famed co-star, Dean Martin. An ending argument, among other factors, caused America’s most popular duo to end their decadelong partnership. (The movie ultimately premiered in Atlantic City on July 15, 1954.) In 1978, Brown’s paid Bob Hope $50,000 to appear at a Catskills venue that year.

Bungalow Colony “Crasher”

Some bungalow colonies advertised the facilities of the hotel next door. Since seating was limited, a member of the hotel’s owner’s family stood at the door to make sure that the hall was not inundated with “outsiders.” A bungalow colony “crasher” could be easily spotted; they carried a flashlight.

Businesses

A host of businesses sprang up in

the Catskills: Katz’s Bakery in Liberty, Singer’s Chinese restaurant in Liberty, and Kaplan’s restaurant in Monticello.

Cardiac Hill

The Green Acres Hotel in Sullivan County was built on the top of a hill, overlooking Lake Huntington. The view was beautiful—if you were still alive after climbing the mountain from the swimming area. The guests called it “cardiac hill.” Source: “Remember the Catskills Tales by a Recovering Hotelkeeper” by Esterita “Cissie” Blumberg.

“Catskill Honeymoon” Movie

This 1950 movie is about a Jewish resort which celebrates a pair of longtime customers’ fiftieth wedding anniversary by staging an old-fashioned Borscht Belt show. The movie was filmed on location at Young’s Gap’s Hotel in Parksville, N. Y. It’s is a period piece proving an interesting glimpse of the legendary Catskills and Borscht Belt.

Chamberlain, Wilt

Milton Kutsher signed up Wilt Chamberlain as a bellhop so he could play for the Kutsher’s team.

Friday nights was Champagne Hour at Grossinger’s. Contestants would See page D12

My Apologies for Another Maximizing Column BY TOM MARGENAU

Q: I am 68 years old and retired. My wife is 60 and still working. When I was 66, my financial planner advised me to “file and suspend” so that when my wife turns 62, she can claim spousal benefits on my record and let her own continue to grow until she is 70. We are trying to maximize our Social Security. But now I’m wondering if I did the right thing. Can you explain the rules to me? Q: I am about to turn 66. I’m still working. My 64-year-old wife has been getting her own Social Security since she was 62. Can I file and suspend so that I can claim benefits on my wife’s record now and maximize my own retirement at age 70? Q: I see you recently wrote yet another column about Social Security maximizing strategies. I’m going to ask that you please stop doing that. There are so many other important Social Security issues that we need to know about. We DO NOT need to learn any more about the sneaky ways that greedy and selfish geezers can use to claim unintended benefits out of an already financially strained system. Q: Please, please, please: No more columns about maximizing one’s Social Security. These so-called “strategies” don’t apply to most of us and we just don’t care to read about them! These four recent emails I received illustrate something I’ve learned over the past several years. My readers can be put into two different camps. One group would like me to use each and every column I write to explain Social Security maximizing strategies. The other camp would just as soon I never broach the topic again. So what is a Social Security columnist to do? To paraphrase Abe Lincoln: “I can please some of my readers all of the time and all of my readers some of the time. But I can’t please all of my readers all of the time!” Actually, I went back and checked. Out of the 52 columns I’ve written over the past year, 11 have been about maximizing strategies. So that means I’ve covered at least 41 other Social Security topics over the past year. (In many columns, I discuss more than one subject.) But there is no question that maximizing is by far the most frequently discussed issue I’ve written about. And that’s primarily because there has been so darn much misinformation spread (mostly on the internet) about the topic. And the first two emails illustrate this point. So for the 12th time in now the last 53 weeks, I’m going to once again discuss this controversial topic. (And I hope the readers in the “no more” camp will forgive me!)

For most of the history of the Social Security program, the only strategy you really needed to consider was this: Should you take reduced benefits at 62 (or some other early age) or wait until your full retirement age (currently 66) to claim full retirement benefits? Then in 1972, Congress introduced another strategy: the idea of delayed retirement credits. The rules have changed over the years, but the law currently says you get a two-thirds of one percent credit added to your Social Security check for each month you delay filing for benefits after age 66. That comes out to an 8 percent bonus per year or a 32 percent bonus if you wait until age 70 (the maximum age) to file. Then in the 1990s, the Social Security law that allowed working seniors to claim full benefits at age 66 (the prior age was 72) included some totally unintended provisions that allowed seniors to “maximize” their benefits. One of those provisions came to be called “file and suspend.” This strategy was usually employed by a husband who wanted to wait until age 70 to claim the full 32 percent bonus. But he could file for benefits at 66 and immediately suspend his own benefits, but allow his nonworking wife to take spousal benefits on his record when she came of age. This strategy was actually eliminated last year. But the phrase “file and suspend” lives on -- mostly on the internet. People are always asking me if they can “file and suspend.” But what they really mean to ask me is if they can “file and restrict.” That is a completely different strategy that is also pegged for elimination. But it’s still good for another couple years. Anyone turning 66 before Jan. 2, 2020 can employ that strategy. The “file and restrict” strategy allows one member of a married couple to claim dependent husband’s or wife’s benefits on the other spouse’s record at age 66 while letting his or her own retirement benefits grow -- usually until age 70. So, for example, the second email I mentioned at the beginning of this column involved a 66-year-old man who has a 64-year-old wife who is already getting her own retirement benefits. He asked if he can “file and suspend.” That’s the wrong phrase and the wrong strategy. But what he can do is “file and restrict.” That means he can collect 50 percent of his wife’s age 66 retirement benefit until he is 70 years old. At that point, he can switch to 132 percent of his own. The gentleman who wrote the first email used in this column was advised to “file and suspend” when he turned 66. There actually was no real need for him to do that since his wife was not (and still is not) eligible for any benefits on his record. And even if she were old enough, she could not do what he was

told she could do. She would not have been able to file for spousal benefits at 62 and save her own until age 70. And because she turns 66 after the Jan. 2, 2020 deadline mentioned earlier, she cannot use the file and restrict strategy. This couple should forget about all this maximizing hoopla. The wife simply has to decide when she wants her own benefits to start. I just very briefly outlined some very

complicated Social Security rules in this column. If you want to know more about the topic, send an email to thomas.margenau@comcast.net and ask me to send you a fact sheet I wrote called “When to take your Social Security benefits.” If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has the answer.

San Francisco Goes All Out With Special Events, Exhibitions Marking 50th Anniversary of Summer of Love C ontinued from page D3 26-Aug. 27, 2017): As Jimi Hendrix walked out onto the stage at Monterey Pop, he was also stepping out for his American rock and roll debut. Playing as “The Jimi Hendrix Experience,” Hendrix was introduced to California at the festival before the U.S. release of his first album. A performance enlivened with rock theatrics, sexual flamboyance and magnetic guitar riffs, this moment solidified Hendrix as a rock idol. An integrated band with a black front man, “The Jimi Hendrix Experience” represented racial and sexual freedom and the goals of the 1906s counterculture. Composed of photographs taken of Jimi Hendrix in 1967, this exhibition celebrates the 50th anniversary of the famous Summer of Love and the introduction of Jimi Hendrix as one the greatest instrumentalists of all time. “Elaine Mayes: It Happened in Monterey” at SFO Museum (May 4-Aug. 10, 2017): SFO Museum will present an exhibition of photographs by Elaine Mayes (whose work is also included in the de Young Museum exhibit) taken at the Summer of Love’s legendary rock concert, the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival. The exhibition is located post-security in Terminal 3. “California Historical Society; “On the Road to the Summer of Love” (May 12-Sept. 10, 2017): Guestcurated by Grateful Dead historian Dennis McNally, this photographic exhibition will start in the 1950’s with “HOWL” and the Beat Generation and move through the free speech movement to LSD, rock and roll and the Haight in the 60’s. The Cartoon Art Museum; “Comix from the Summer of Love” (JuneSept., 2017): The Cartoon Art Museum celebrates the Summer of Love with a selection of underground comix from Bay Area creators Lee Marrs (Pudge, Girl Blimp), Trina Robbins (Wimmen¹s Comix) and highlights from the collection of Ron Turner, founder of famed San Francisco publisher Last Gasp. “A Night with Janis Joplin” at American Conservatory Theater (June 7-July 2, 2017): Like a comet that burns far too brightly to last, Janis Joplin exploded onto the music scene in 1967 and, almost overnight, became the queen of rock ’n’ roll. The unmistakable voice, laced with raw emotion and Southern Comfort, made her a must-see headliner from Monterey to Woodstock. A.C.T. presents

an evening with the woman and her influences in the Bay Area premiere of the hit Broadway musical “A Night with Janis Joplin” at the Geary Theater. Fueled by such unforgettable songs as “Me and Bobby McGee,” “Piece of My Heart,” “Mercedes Benz,” “Cry Baby,” and “Summertime,” a remarkable cast and breakout performances. San Francisco Public Library: 50th Anniversary of Love and Haight (July 15-Oct. 29, 2017): In this exhibit, historical photographs, grass roots newspapers, posters and flyers, record albums and manuscript materials from community groups and City of San Francisco collections will document the social and political upheaval of the summer of 1967 and how the city responded. Attractions: The legendary Fillmore Auditorium offers performances throughout the year and launched the careers of greats including James Brown, Ike and Tina Turner, the Grateful Dead, the Jefferson Airplane, Santana and more. Famous for printing posters for every single show played at the venue, the poster room is just shy of 1,000 posters since officially opening its doors in the mid-60s. Celebrate the 50th anniversary of Bill Graham’s first show at the Fillmore, which was December 10, 1965.

San Francisco Goes All Out With Special Events, Exhibitions Marking 50th Anniversary of Summer of Love Continued from page D5

by Grace Slick of the Jefferson Airplane, Jerry Garcia’s bomber jacket, Jimi Hendrix’ jacket and one of the last photos of Janice Joplin. at the Hard Rock Café at PIER 39. www.hardrock. com/cafes/san-francisco/ At Madame Tussauds, rub shoulders with iconic stars and free thinkers of the Summer of Love such as Jerry Garcia, Janis Joplin, Carlos Santana and Steve Jobs. (www. madametussauds.com) Founded in 1959 with avant-garde pperformance events, today The San Francisco Mime Troupe (SFMT) produces social and politically relevant theater performances full of dance, song, satire and comedy all year long. In 1965 future rock impresario Bill Graham, then the company’s business manager, organized his first rock dance/light show at the Fillmore Auditorium as a bail benefit for the SFMT and in 1967 The Troupe clinched its radical reputation with a comedy

updated to satirize the Vietnam War (www.sfmt.org/company). Viceroy Hotel Group’s brand new Hotel Zeppelin has been reinvented as a modern take on the countercultural rebellion of the 1960s. Its historic architecture dating back to 1918 is highlighted with Instagram worthy design elements that truly exude the Summer of Love vibe. From the Giant 12 foot (and climbable) Peace Sign constructed of repurposed license plates from roadtrips long forgotten, to blacklight graffiti murals fading in and out of view at their Fireside neighborhood bar – even the guest rooms feature vintage Bill Graham posters and rockband clad wallpaper that will transport you straight to the 1960s Fillmore. Grab a drink at their signature bar and restaurant Rambler and meander your way down to their massive “Den” arcade featuring vintage games like shuffleboard, skeeball, quick shot basketball, bingo and more (www.viceroyhotelsandresorts.com/ en/zeppelin). S.O.U.L. (Summer of Unconditional LOVE), a new, non-profit, online media organization, chronicles the happenings of the 50th Anniversary of the Summer of Love, with a focus on broadcasting stories of individuals and organizations implementing solutions inspired by the ideals and wisdom of the 60’s cultural movements. The information shared is intended to help people manifest a more loving and less fearful world by giving them hope and inspiring new action to be taken. “Come join us, and discover what you can do to participate in accelerating humanity’s shift into the Love Paradigm,” say Founders Evan Hirsch and Kip Baldwin www. nowsharelove.org). To help visitors plan their “trip,” the San Francisco Travel Association has launched a special website, www. summeroflove2017.com, which provides an ever-expanding guide to the whole groovy scene, including events and itinerary ideas.

be selected and were paired with an instructor. The judges included Shelly Winters, Doris Day, and Linda Darnell. The winners received a bottle of champagne and gorgeous trophies.

Comic Strip

Grossinger’s is the only resort to be regularly referred to in a comic strip, the one about Joe Palooka, a mythical heavyweight boxing champion. The strip was created by Ham Fisher in 1921.

Complaints

(at Borscht Belt hotels) Henny Youngman had to deal with angry older Jewish women complaining about the fare at the Swan Lake Inn. They would say, “The food here is terrible. And such small portions.” Youngman replied, “Madam, the food at the Swan Lake Inn is fit for a king. “Here, King! Here King!” These complaints were expressed by guests at the hotels: 1. My room’s so small it has a threecent stamp for a rug. 2. My room’s so small, the mice are hunchbacked. 3. You should see my room. I put a key in the door and it breaks the window. When I complained, they gave me a room without a window.

Concord (The)

The Concord was the largest hotel in the Borscht Belt region. It was Sullivan County’s largest employer (with 1,000 workers at peak season). It offered sumptuous Kosher dining in its 3,000-seat dining room for 5 decades and was located 12 miles away from Grossinger’s. Ten days before Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated he was in the Catskills. He appeared at the Concord Hotel and spoke before a Rabbinical Assembly of the Conservative Movement. He was there to celebrate the 60th birthday of Rabbi Abraham Herschel who had joined King in his Civil Rights march from Selma to Montgomery. The Concord officially closed in the fall of 1996.

Cozy Corners

Belle Barth (born Annabelle Salzman) started performing at Borscht Belt hotels and small nightclubs. She could be found at the Cozy Corners in South Fallsburg. She shocked her audiences—and packed them in!

Demeret, Jimmy (1910-1983)

Jimmy became the pro at the Concord Hotel, and at the opening of the Concord’s first golf course. He was known as “the wardrobe” because of his flamboyant personality, which he enhanced by wearing bright-colored

clothing during tournaments.

“Derma Road” (The)

According to Myron Cohen, “The fellow who called the “derma” road knew what he was talking about. If you’re ever in the Catskills and see a white line in the road…remember… that’s not paint…it’s sour cream.”

Dirty Dancing

“Dirty Dancing,” the movie, was released in 1963. That infamous summer at Kellerman’s DIDN’T HAPPEN in the Catskills at all. The actual movie shoot took place more than 500 miles south in Pembroke,VA. Nevertheless, the movie helped elevate the profile of this beautiful region once again. This little $5 million picture seemed to have more legs than the hundreds of dancers who created it. After seeing the film people seem to want to—dance (“tantsn”). Source: “Singin’ in the Rain” by Linda Gottlieb, Premiere, May 1988

Doubling or Tripling

Entertainers in the Catskills often did two or three shows in one evening, commuting across Sullivan and Ulster counties.

Dr. Ruth

Dr. Ruth, the pint-sized sex therapist, met her third husband, Manfred (Fred) Westheimer, early in 1961 on a ski trip in the Catskills.

“Ess. Ess.” (Eat. Eat.)

Elaine Markson wrote, “The attention to food, it’s part of the vision of America as the horn of plenty. The Catskills were the Jewish version of the country club or first-class on the ocean liner. You order every-thing on the menu. Tanya Grossinger described the food that it took to feed all the guests for one week: 300 standing ribs of beef for steaks and roast beef, 1,000 lbs. of poultry, 75 cartons of eggs (27,000 eggs a week), 1,000 lbs. of potatoes, 500 lbs. of Nova Scotia lox, 70 cases of fresh oranges, and 700 lbs. of coffee.

Finkel, Fyvush

Joseph Berger wrote about the iconic actor/entertainer [“Picket Fences,” Fiddler on the Roof”]: “Mr. Finkel was a lifetime trooper in any language. In winter he traveled to Florida to bring his valise of routines to the beachfront condominiums. Fifteen condos in 10 days. In summer, like a monarch butterfly, he fluttered north to the handful of surviving Catskills hotels sampling the borscht when there was no longer a belt and delighting the hotel denizens with jokes many had heard more than once.” Source: “Fyvush Finical, Pillar of Yiddish Theater Who Crossed Into TV, Dies at 93,” Joseph Berger, Aug. 14, 2016, The New York Times.

Fisher, DAvid (“Dudu”)

“Dudu” Fisher, who played Tevye the Milkman in “Fiddler on the Roof,” served at the bima in Kutcher’s during the High Holy Days for over 20 years. Helen Kusher said, “Without Dudu, Kusher’s simply would’t be Kusher’s! Wherever he is, anywhere in the States, in Israel or in Europe, Dudu is back with us for the holidays.” Source: “A Lot Of Lox, A Lot Of Love” by Gabe Levenson

Fisher, Eddie

Eddie Fisher (1928-2010) greeted enthusiastic fans stateside at Grossinger’s in 1964. He and Debbie Reynolds were married in 1955 at the hotel.

Four L’s

Helen Kutsher (“Kutsher’s Hotel”) said that her hotel was a combination of the four L’s: a lot of lox [at breakfast], a lot of labor [attention to very aspects of the hotel business], a lot of luck and a lot of love.

“Gezunte Heights”

Esterita “Cissie” Blumberg wrote, “What other area would have a Finkestein’s Foibles, a Didinsky’s Villa, or “Gezunte Heights”? :-_ Note: The word “gezunt” (geh-zoont) means “healthy” in Yiddish.

Grading system for comedians

Grossinger’s had a numerical system to grade their comedians. It ranged from 1—which was terrible—to 7—the highest. Three stars who received consistent 3s were Flip Wilson, Shecky Greene, and Jack E. Leonard. Source: “Growing Up At Grossingers” by Tania Grossinger.

Gradus Hotel

Alan King was asked if he would like to work at the Gradus Hotel. He went up for Memorial Day, got onstage, and did a joke. He said, “When you work for Gradus, you work for gratis.” Everybody laughed except Mr. Gradus, the owner of the hotel. He didn’t understand what King was talking about, but when it was explained to him, King was fired. He left in the middle of the night. The next day he was hired at the New Prospect Hotel as the number three comic and the porch tummler.

Granite, The

The Granite operates as Hudson Valley Resort and Spa. It has 270 guest rooms and suites, a heated indoor and outdoor pool, a fitness center, and a modern spa.

Grossinger’s

In the 1920s, Grossinger’s became a five-star destination for the upwardly mobile East Coast Jews. Some of the famous people who vacationed there included Chaim Weismann, Alben W. Barkley, and Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt.

Grossinger’s (Staff)

In the summer, about 950 employees were on the payroll and 1,000 guests on the register, according to Tania Grossing. There was a whole staff that the guests never saw: cleaning help, kitchen stewards, gardeners, plumbers, engineers, security men, maintenance men, florists, etc. They were the “back of the house” staff; many of them lived in Liberty. The Grossinger staff always ate the same food as the guests, the only difference being that the staff did NOT have a variety of choices. Grossinger’s posted signs in the indoor pool area: 1 lifeguard - 75 bathers 2 lifeguards - 150 bathers Grossinger’s had its own post office.

Grossinger’s “Tattler”

The “Tattler” was a mimeographed publication that listed the events of the evening and the following day. It was also the local gossip (“yente” is slang for gossip) sheet. According to the “Tattler,” the typical Grossinger guest was “charming, vivacious, gracious, amiable, pleasant, enchanting, good-natured, easygoing, sparkling, scintillating, titallating, likeable, outgoing, good-natured, handsome (“shane”), appealing, winsome, frolic-some, bright-mannered…….

Grossinger’s Ad

Their honeymoon package offered: . a box of chocolates . a complimentary bottle of champagne . free pictures for handsome photograph album . a copy of Jennie’s famous cookbook. . a tour of the kitchen . honeymoon edition of Grossinger’s News

Grossinger’s Rules for Behavior

Golfers are asked to replace divots. Men are asked not to remove their shirts, and both sexes not to wear shorts. Persons in shorts or bathing attire headed for the pool are steered away from the main lobby and the main terrace area. 300 free lockers for bathing suits are provided near the pool. The carefully trimmed lawns and flower beds have signs reading, “Please do not pick us. We bloom for your pleasure.” Signed, The Flowers.” The designation “Country Club” was added to the Grossinger’s title in the late 20s, when discontent was developing over the exclusion of Jews from country clubs throughout the country. To Be Continued.... Marjorie Gottlieb Wolfe spent many vacations with her parents at Grossinger’s, The Concord, and the Nevele.

Local moms raise money for kids with cancer

Call Susan or Ken in our Garden City office 516-294-8900

Danielle Taylor BY GARY SIMEONE Five years ago, Oyster Bay resident, Danielle Taylor, had an idea to compete in an obstacle course to raise money for charity. She and two other women from the area, started Team YOLO, an acronym for You Only Live Once. Taylor, a mother of two, was doing research online for charities and came across the Morgan Center in Hicksville, a small school for children with cancer. “These kids can’t attend traditional schools because their immune systems are compromised and they’re dealing with all the chemotherapy treatments and stress,” said Taylor. “I had this idea or goal really to raise enough money from these events to pay every kids tuition at the Center.” Her initial goal was to raise $1,500 through a specialized obstacle course called a Civilian Military Combine back in 2012. She ended up raising over $3,000 from the event and that was just the start of what would become a much bigger and more profitable endeavor. “Over the past few years more and more women became interested and participated in the obstacle courses. Last year we had 31 moms participate and we raised $34,000 for the Morgan Center.”

This year, Team YOLO plans to take their obstacle course to the streets of Hoboken, New Jersey, where they will participate in the City Challenge Race. The Race, which is scheduled for October 7th, will have the mom’s climbing over taxi cabs, ducking under blocks and running through giant sized tires. Team YOLO has gained so much attention that they were recently invited to the Ellen DeGeneres show to be part of the studio audience. Last week, 14 out of 40 Team YOLO members were flown out to Los Angeles and put up in a hotel by producers of the show and attended a taping all wearing their Morgan Center t-shirts. “I was hoping that Ellen would have given us a shout out and we could all stand showing off our t-shirts,” said Taylor. “Even when we weren’t taping we were able to wear our shirts and speak about our cause and our charity.” She said word about Team YOLO and the Morgan Center spread like wildfire and that a non-profit organization called the Amanda Styles Cirelli Foundation ended up donating $10,000 to the cause. Back home here on Long Island, Anthony’s Coal Fire Pizza in Syosset has even gotten into the act of helping garner donations for the school. During the month of May if anyone mentions Team YOLO or the Morgan Center the pizza place will donate 20% of the check for the entire day to the school. Taylor says that another goal she hopes to accomplish by raising money through these events is to help fund the completion of another Morgan Center being built out east. “I would really love to see these schools being built all over the nation because there is such a need for them both for educational and social reasons,” said Taylor. To find out more about Team YOLO and to help donate to the cause, people can visit their donation page at crowdrise.com and searching for Team YOLO.
