Syosset named “Best Community for Music The Syosset Central School District has once again been honored with the Best Communities for Music Education designation from the NAMM Foundation for its outstanding commitment to music education. Syosset CSD joins more than 500 districts across the country in receiving the prestigious award in 2017. This marks the 16th time the district has received this designation.

The BCME designation recognizes outstanding efforts by teachers, administrators, parents, students and community leaders who work together to assure access to music learning for all students as part of a well-rounded education. Districts that have been recognized by the NAMM Foundation are often held up as models for other educators looking to boost their own music education

programs. To qualify for recognition, district officials answered detailed questions about funding, graduation requirements, music class participation, instruction time, facilities, support for the music program and community music-making programs. Responses were verified with school officials and reviewed by the Music Research Institute at the UniSee page 22

Marc Herman wants to change the ongoing corruption that has been running rampant in the Town of Oyster Bay. The Woodbury resident and member of the Democratic party said that he plans to run for the position in the upcoming election in November. “I’ve been standing on the sidelines for all these years watching the scandal in the Town of Oyster Bay government and I say that the corruption has to be removed,” said Herman, a practicing dentist and a former President of the Syosset school board. “My feeling is that it shouldn’t be about who you know in politics but what you know.” Herman and three other candidates were announced as Democratic nominees last Wednesday to run against the all Republican Town Board. The three other candidates running for Town council include Woodbury resident, Robert Freier, Seaford resident, James Versocki and Eva Pearson of Farmingdale. Herman said his campaign focus includes eight broad categories which he feels are problems in the Town that are in need of a solution. The categories he listed include finances, ethics, environmental, patronage, open contracting, open bidding, taxes and permits. “Everything needs to be done in a cost effective, efficient manner and government needs to be transparent so that people know where their tax dollars are being spent,” said Herman.

Marc Hermann

Herman brings experience to the position having served on the Syosset school board for eighteen years and working as a dentist in Woodbury for thirty eight years. “I have a lot of experience in things such as payroll, bookkeeping and hiring and firing of employees. One thing about me I am the hardest worker the world has ever seen and I’m one of the most ethical people the world has ever seen.” Herman also served as President of the Gates-Ridge Civic Association of Woodbury and is an active member of the Cerro Wire Coalition, a community group in Syosset that is actively opposed to the building of the new mall. He has also held a voluntary See page 22

Perfect choice for School Board

To the Editor: Being a resident of Jericho for over forty years, there is a great deal of pride in knowing that the Jericho Union Free School District has such a high standard and is very passionate about the education of its students. With such a responsibility to uphold, it is extremely important to carefully choose school board members who will help strengthen the educational environment. This is exactly why I believe Dr. Pam Wasserman-Heath is the perfect choice for the School Board Seat in this coming election. Looking at the election and then attempting to put myself in the position of choosing a candidate, where I would not be personally familiar with any of those seeking election, there would be a series of characteristics that I personally would look for. First and foremost I would question the character of each candidate. When it comes to the character of Pam Wasserman-Heath, I honestly could give very few people any higher praise. Her integrity and selflessness has truly been an incredible model for students and residents alike. She is

a woman of compassion, intelligence, dedication and tremendous action. Dr. Wasserman-Heath is a psychologist working with trauma patients and has served as president of the Jackson PTA as well as a board member of her synagogue. Pam has vast experience helping to form coalitions and this specific set of experiences has allowed her to engage on a personal level with the individual as well as the whole. She finds the weaknesses and takes the burden onto her own shoulders to see that a solution is made, with no regard to herself, but solely for the good of those around her. My family can personally attest that Pam is vigilant in her care for the safety of others. She checks in on her neighbors all year to make sure that they are safe and healthy. Anyone would be grateful and lucky to have a neighbor such as Pam. She is a fine human being and someone that everyone can look up to. I encourage all of the residents of Jericho to vote for Pam with the assurance that she will work hard and intelligently for the benefit of our children. Susan M. Weissberg

Syosset High School and the community a better place. Executive Board members lit the ceremonial candles that represent the four key principles of NHS membership: character, scholarship, leadership and service. Then, one by one, the new inductees’ names were announced and

each stepped up to the stage to receive their certificates prior to taking the NHS pledge. Special thanks to the Syosset High School chamber orchestra, led by Stephanie Merten, for providing the processional, interlude and recessional.

Come to San Francisco for 50th Anniversary Celebration of Summer of Love Be Prepared to Be Blasted into the Past

San Francisco’s Haight-Asbury district delights visitors with its psychedelic colors BY KAREN RUBIN My, how time flies! It’s the 50th anniversary of San Francisco’s Summer of Love, when, in 1967,

nearly 100,000 young people converged on the HaightAshbury neighborhood, turning San Francisco into the epicenter of a cultural phenomenon known as the Summer of Love. During this

transformative time, music, fashion, art and new ideas flourished and there was a feeling that everything was possible. The city of San Francisco was a magnet for musicians,

artists and social rebels in the mid-to-late 1960s. They created a counterculture bound by leftist politics, tribal spirit, music and art. Long stamped a literary bohemia, See page D2

Come to San Francisco for 50th Anniversary Celebration of Summer of Love - Be Prepared to Be Blasted into the Past Continued from page D1

attracting nonconformists like the Beat Generation writers of the Fifties, it was a natural progression for free-thinking San Francisco to give birth to a radical new movement eventually embraced by the rest of the world. The 50th Anniversary Celebration – with some 60 different events, special tours, concerts – is already well underway in San Francisco and I’m guessing that tens of thousands of Baby Boomers will grab their tie-dye t-shirts, bell-bottom jeans, and put a flower in their hair and join in for a mind-blowing time-travel blast back into the past. I’ve just returned from my magical mystery tour – more precisely, HaightAshbury Walking Tour: A Musical Trip of The 60’s, a musical Summer of Love walking tour with Wes Leslie of Wild San Francisco Tours – when I was stunningly, and eerily transported back to my past. Let me say at the outset that I can’t recall taking a historical tour where I personally lived the history. Wes (he jokes that he is called “Wild Wes”) is perfect to lead this tour, using his guitar at opportune points – in front of the homes where the Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, Country Joe (of the Fish) and others lived – to recreate the iconic music of that era. What is more, in keeping with the spirit of the Hippie Movement, the tour during this anniversary year is “free” (you pay a suggested donation at the end). Though I lived through that era – memories came flooding back with Wes’ narration – there is so much more of the inside, behind-the-scenes, backstage stuff that I hadn’t known. It is kind of like sitting around a table with relatives and finding out inside scoop you hadn’t realized went on. Wes’ anecdotes and folksy style make the tour as entertaining and fun as it is informative from a historical and cultural point of view. Indeed, what I come away with is a realization that the Summer of Love would not have happened without The Pill and how that spurred cultural changes – most significantly a willingness to challenge the entrenched White Patriarchy and Power Structure. I come away with is a new appreciation of how the Women’s Liberation movement actually fueled the Hippie movement, which, through its counter-cultural, antiestablishment, anti-institutionalism, then paved the way for civil rights, gay rights and peace movements – methods and organizations and themes which are eerily resurgent today.

“Wild Wes” of Wild San Francisco Tours relates the history of Haight-Asbury’s free clinic during his musical walking tour of the district © 2017 Karen Rubin/ goingplacesfarandnear.com During this Wild San Francisco walking tour through Haight-Ashbury (with music!), I learn about the rise – and fall– of the Hippie Movement that reached its pinnacle during that Summer of Love, when some 100,000 descended and overwhelmed San Francisco (consider that the city has a population today of 800,000), much to the horror of local Hippies who decried that famous song, “If you’re going to San Francisco, be sure to wear flowers in your hair.” The very “success” of the Summer of Love proved the undoing of the

Hippie Movement, much to the delight of Mayor Shelley at the time, who went after the hippies with such vengeance that he told area hospitals not to help young runaway teens who OD’d, and told the police to stand down so that chaos would reign. It is a complete surprise to me to learn about how brief this movement was in Haight-Ashbury – like a brief, shining light. The Hippie Movement, which emerged 1965-1967, was aimed at overturning the 1950s culture of uniformity, conformity and obeisance to The Man (whether that is the

Capitalist or the Authority of the white patriarchy power elite). The “Hippies” (named because they were the nextgen Beatniks but not quite the Hipsters the Beatniks were, according to San Francisco Chronicle columnist Herb Caen who coined the names for both) renounced capitalism and embraced everything “free” (free food, free concerts, free health clinics, free love), which is why they were considered so dangerously radical (Communists!) and vilified by The Establishment. After all, America was still in the throes of the Cold War. The social, political ideologues shaping the movement were The Diggers, Wes explains (a group I had never heard of before even though I lived through this era) and must have been news to the other people on our tour, who hailed from Wales, Australia, Hungary, Berlin and Los Angeles (that fellow had taken two other tours with Wes). The Haight-Ashbury district, where the Hippies were concentrated, today seems an odd locale for these counterculture radicals, because this district is dominated by the most magnificently preserved (expensive!) Victorian-era homes, some dating from the 1890s, surviving the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire which destroyed 80 percent of the city. Wes explains that by the 1960s, the district was run-down and cheap to live in after white flight to the suburbs. Back then, you could rent an entire Victorian house for $175 a month and divide that among 10 people (amounting to $80 a month per person in today’s money, compared to the $3400/month rent for an apartment the district now commands). So naturally, it attracted artists, writers and musicians. In the 1960s, half the American population was under 25 years old. These were the Baby Boomers and they were coming of age, disillusioned with income inequality, segregation, the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. “Maybe they hadn’t figured out the solutions but they wanted whatever was furthest from whatever set those things into motion,” Wes tells us as we face one of the most magnificent Victorians, known as “Hippie Temptation”, so they reclaimed the derelict urban cities, swore off capitalism, and embraced drugs that were emerging and love and a philosophy of individual discovery and expression. They picked up where Jack Kerouac (“On the Road” was a handbook for the Beat Generation) and Alan Ginsberg (“Howl”) left off. The emergence of drugs (and the


contrast to the liberals at Berkeley, the intellectual kids, who were theorizing. “The Diggers said, ‘Just do it, don’t theorize.’ The Diggers started putting ‘free’ in front of everything: free food, free concerts, free health care.” Wes traces the actual beginning of the Hippie Movement that led up to the Summer of Love to “The Death of Money” March the Diggers put on. The Diggers, he says, were the activist branch of the San Francisco Mime Troupe, a political satire and theater group. Hundreds came out wearing dark clothing and carrying a coffin filled with cash and coins – “50 years before the Occupy Wall Street movement and Bitcoin.” They opened a free store, stocked with contributions from shopkeepers and what they could scavenge. Tie-dye? That gender-bending fashion innovation developed, Wes says, because the Diggers would get contributions of white shirts and would die them. Interestingly, Wes points out, there was a revolution within the Diggers because the men were writing the manifestos but the women were actually doing the work.

drug culture) was a significant element that led to the rise of the Hippie Movement– like LSD (which was legal), which led to the rise of “psychedelic” experimentation and provided the subtext for culture of “seeing the world in a new way” and a devotion to individual expression, rather than conformity. “Turn on, tune in, drop out,” declared Timothy Leary. The Diggers, Wes explains, took their name from a 17th century group of anarchists in England who would take over unplowed fields and would give away the harvest to end inequality. San Francisco didn’t have farms, but it did have food waste, so the Diggers would go dumpster diving and brought the food to All Saints Parish Church (where we find ourselves standing) and would make a pot of Hippie Stew which they would bring to Panhandle Park (where our tour began, named for the shape, not for handouts), to distribute for free. (The church still gives away food weekly.). One day, The Diggers gave away free food on the steps of City Hall, which enraged San Francisco’s mayor. “’We are not a charity,’ the Diggers declared,” Wes tells us. “’We are an anarchist organization doing what government should do’.” (a philosophy that is reemergent with the antiTrump activism) It was the act of it, in

What’s absolutely great about Spring! BY CLAIRE LYNCH Now that the cold days and snowy mornings of winter have gone, I welcome the warmer, brighter, feel-good days of spring. With the flowers blooming and trees showing their green leaves again, Long Island looks much cheerier. Here are some of the things that I like best about this season of spring.

April Showers Are Sure to Bring …

The accepted meaning of the poem “April showers bring May flowers” is essentially a simple one. April, usually a rainy month, will eventually give way to the month of May, a month where flowers typically bloom thanks to the water April provided. So something good came out of all of that rain. As a young child, I always thought that it actually read: “April showers bring Mayflowers,” i.e., the Pilgrims, etc. Silly me. I really thought that. Several years later I thought about it and realized that since May is the first warm month of the year, and since the rain during the month of April helps things grow, we are bound to have some beautiful flowers appear in May. The actual origin is from the sixteenth century. The rhyme is an excerpt from “500 Points of Good Husbandry” (a book about farming) by

the English poet and gentleman farmer Thomas Tusser. Published in 1557, this little poem originally read: “Sweet April showers Do spring May flowers.”

Oh Spring, Glorious Spring!

On a glorious spring day when I throw open all of the windows and let the fresh air in, I notice that my young cat, Bette, is excited, also, by the improvement in the weather we are having. Hopping up on the windowsill, she sits for what seems like hours inhaling the various scents of the season, watching the people and cars going by and watching the birds as they fly from here to there. While activities go on in my living room, Bette is oblivious. Instead, she is glued to the events outdoors. They are rather routine to me, but this fantastic weather makes everything so fascinating to her. Her enthusiasm for our “perfect weather” is pretty contagious so a friend and I grab some light jackets and head outdoors to take a walk and drink in all of the beauty of the season. I’ll take the four seasons any time and this one in particular, spring, is so perfectly enjoyable.

Seeing Forsythia on Long Island

What’s great about the season? I notice that the daffodils come up first

every spring and I practically jump with joy – at their sight, at the brilliance of their yellow color. Then, a few days or a few weeks later, I see the first signs of forsythia blossoming. Driving along the Northern State Parkway, I see long lines of forsythia off to the side and for this Long Islander, that’s always a sure sign that spring has sprung where we live. My routine? Once I spot the forsythia on the parkways, I look for it in people’s front yards. Usually the forsythia that are in yards facing south start to blossom first. These bright yellow bushes decorate people’s lawns – and light up our worlds. And after a winter that is always cold, windy and icy, I welcome those blooming forsythia. Here’s a bit of trivia: Forsythia

are named after William Forsyth, a Scottish botanist who lived during the eighteenth century who was the royal head gardener and a founding member of the Royal Horticultural Society.

Going to the Zoo

In my family, we have an annual ritual of going to the zoo in springtime. We make our plan, pack our car and head out to see the animals. After visiting the various exhibits we have a picnic outdoors, while we take a break from seeing the penguins, the pandas, the lions, the tigers, monkeys and more. Each year we pick a different place to visit. We make a day of it, enjoying the See page D7

Social Security Mailbag Miscellany BY TOM MARGENAU

Today’s column won’t focus on a single topic. Instead, I’ll just reach into the mailbag (well, really my email inbox) and pull out a hodgepodge of questions. Q: I was a minister for many years. I never paid into Social Security while serving my church. But about eight years ago, I left the ministry, and I have since worked at a series of jobs where Social Security taxes have been withheld from my paycheck. I am now 60. My 64-year-old wife has worked all her life and paid into Social Security. Her estimated full retirement benefit is $2,200 per month. Is it worth it for me to continue at these jobs to build up my own Social Security record? A: If you are working because you like your job or because you need the income, well, then of course you should continue to work. But if you are working just to build up your Social Security account, then I suggest you quit tomorrow. And that’s because you will always get more money as a dependent husband on your wife’s Social Security record than you would ever get on your own account. I’ll explain. You need 40 Social Security credits (some people call them “quarters of coverage”) to be eligible for Social Security retirement benefits. You earn four credits per year. In other words, you need 10 years of work to qualify for your own Social Security. It sounds as if you’d have those 10 years by the time you are 62 years old. But someone who ends up with that bare minimum of one decade’s worth of credits qualifies for a very small monthly Social Security check. My guess is what it would be about $100 per month. On the other hand, once your wife retires, you will be due anywhere between one-third and one-half of her age-66 retirement benefit rate (depending on your age at the time your wife retires). It sounds as if that will be about $700 to $1,100 per month. And that is way more than you would be due on your own account. Let me put that another way. Let’s say you were to get your 40 credits and end up with a Social Security retirement benefit of $120 per month. And let’s further say that you were to be due $1,100 in husband’s benefits. What would happen is that you would get your own $120 and then get $980 in husband’s benefits, for a total of $1,100. Whereas if you were not to have the 40 credits and end up with no Social Security benefit of your own, you’d still end up with $1,100 in husband’s benefits. That’s why it wouldn’t pay for you to work just to build up your own Social Security. Q: My wife and I own a successful small business. We both delayed our Social Security payments until 70. I am now 76 and receive $2,797. My wife is 71 and receives $1,632 on her

own account. All of our current business income, about $120,000 a year, flows to me. And that extra income boosts my Social Security check by about $20 per month. Would it make sense for my wife to take some of that as her salary and let it boost her Social Security check? A: I’m not a financial planner or a tax specialist. You’d have to consult that type of person to get a proper opinion. But from solely a Social Security perspective, it makes the most sense to continue on your present course. In other words, keep building up your Social Security check. Why? Because of the potential benefit it will have for your wife in future widow’s benefits. Chances are you are going to die before she does. And when that happens, she’ll start getting widow’s benefits. Her own benefit will be supplemented by up to 100 percent of whatever you are getting at the time of your death. For example, let’s say you died tomorrow. Your wife would get her own $1,632, and then she’d get an additional $1,165 in widow’s benefits to take her up to your $2,797 rate. So again, the higher your benefit goes the more she will get in widow’s benefits when you are gone. Q: My 88-year-old wife recently died. We were married for 12 years. She was married before and was getting widow’s benefits on her first husband’s Social Security account. Can I get her Social Security benefits now? A: I’m not sure what you mean by “her” Social Security benefits. If you are asking whether you can get the widow’s benefits she was receiving on her first husband’s record, then the answer is no. But if your wife had her own Social Security account, you are due widower’s benefits if the amount of those benefits exceeds what you are currently getting on your own record. Q: In a recent column, you talked about a maximum amount of Social Security that is payable to a family. My wife and I are both about to turn 66 and plan to file for our respective Social Security benefits. According to Social Security Administration estimates, I will be due $2,550 and she will be due $2,480. Will we be impacted by this maximum amount you mentioned? A: No, you will not. The “family maximum” I discussed in a recent column applies only to Social Security accounts involving benefits for children. If, for example, you had minor children (and surprisingly, more than a few retirees still have young kids at home), there would be a limit to how much money could be paid to those children. Those “family maximum” rules are too complicated to explain here. But that’s OK, because they don’t apply to you and your wife anyway. Speaking of maximums, however,

you and your wife might want to consider the “file and restrict” maximizing strategy that I have discussed hundreds of times in this column. That is a procedure with which you, for example, could apply for husband’s benefits on your wife’s Social Security record and then, at 70, switch to 132 percent of your own benefit. Or you could turn

that around. Your wife could file for wife’s benefits on your account and then, when she turns 70, start getting 132 percent of her own benefit. Give that some thought.

Instead, some 20,000 turned out. The Diggers provided free food; the Hells Angels provided child care, Wes says. (Photos of the event are on view at the De Young Museum in Golden Gate Park, which this season has a special “Summer of Love Experience” exhibit.) Kids 12 to 14 years old were running away from home to join the Haight-Ashbury scene, and they were overdosing on the ubiquitous drugs. Dr. David Smith, who was then a 28-year old medical intern (he still lives here), decided to do something and opened a free medical clinic in June 1967, which despite Mayor Jack Shelley’s efforts to shut it down, actually still exists (as we discoverthat we are standing in front of it) and has served as the model for some 2,000 free clinics since. As the Summer of Love event approached, the city was freaking out at what would likely be an invasion of some 50,000 (the museum says 100,000 came). Mayor Shelley shut down the clinic and the police, hoping people would be turned off from coming. Instead, the locals who occupied those Victorian houses turned over their keys to The Diggers, so that the visitors

moved to North Bay where they created a farming commune, the Diggers disbanded. “The Last Hurrah was the ‘Death of Hippies’ march” paralleling the “Death of Money” march which initiated the movement. The Diggers, again wearing See page D6

The Hippie Movement, they said, “was killed off by fame,” adding, “If you care about this, take what you learned and radicalize it.” Indeed, they did: the Hippies willingness to take on the Establishment unleashed the Women’s Movement, the Civil Rights Movement, Gay Rights Movement and Peace Movement. But Haight-Ashbury sunk further and further into decline, becoming an outright derelict and dangerous place, until the Dot.Com resurgence of San Francisco in the early 2000s, and tourism which has resurrected the

W R I T E R’S C O R N E R

What’s absolutely great about spring! C ontinued from page D3 visit. We make a day of it, enjoying the fresh air and each other’s company. This year we chose Prospect Park Zoo in Brooklyn and had a great time checking out the many different animals. As soon as we made our way through the zoo’s grand entrance, we saw the sea lions exhibit. We were lucky in that shortly after we arrived it was feeding time for the sea lions. What a treat it was to watch the sea lions swimming in the water and jumping for their food. In other parts of the zoo we saw kangaroos, baboons, the dingo, cows, the birds in the aviary and plenty of turtles. Prospect Park Zoo is smaller than the Queens Zoo or the Bronx Zoo but it was good to visit on a day when the sun was shining and the land was green.

Little Robin Red Breast

It’s a sure sign of spring when I see my very first robin of the season. My family, friends and I are sure to compare notes about this because it’s been a long-standing tradition for the first person in our circle to get a clap on the back and some congratulations. When I go to work and go about doing errands on weekends I temporarily forget about looking for robins until one day as I walk I see two robins standing on the grass searching for the earthworms in the dirt and looking for the insects that they can eat. I always thought that robins listened to the earthworms moving about but it turns out that they look for the earthworms. (wbu.com) These birds

are so pretty. The male robins have a dark gray to almost black back and tail with a rust or brick-colored breast. The female is paler all over but both strike me as gorgeous, especially on quiet spring days when I am surprised to see them so close by grazing in the grass and showing off how beautiful they are.

Biking With a Friend

Once spring arrived I pulled two bicycles from the garage and a friend and I planned a short biking trip. We knew that we were rusty from the winter months when we stayed inside on cold winter days making hot chocolate and baking cookies and didn’t do any biking at all. That meant that we needed an “exercise tune up.” Before heading out, we did some gentle stretching exercises to limber up. We made Christopher Morley Park our destination and after packing our gear and some food, we headed out on the 5-mile trip. Once there we took in our beautiful surroundings and enjoyed taking some leisurely walks. We later found out that Christopher Morley was a journalist and a novelist. Born in 1890 in Bryn Mawr, Pa., he studied in Oxford, England, and married Helen Booth Fairchild in New York City. They lived in Hempstead then in Queens Village. They then moved to Philadelphia and in 1920 the Morleys made their final move, to a house they called “Green Escape” in Roslyn Estates. They remained there for the rest of his life. In 1934 Christopher Morley built a cabin at the rear of the property called the

“Knothole” which he used as his writing study. He died in 1957 and in 1961 the 98-acre Christopher Morley Park on Searingtown Rd. in Roslyn was named for him. The cabin he built, along with his bookcases and some furniture, was moved from his former house to the park for people to enjoy. My friend and I biked the 5 miles back home and felt refreshed and invigorated from our little excursion.

“No More Hibernating”

And no more couch potatoes. Now that spring is here it’s “no more hibernating” time. The cold winter days are past us and I for one have had my fill of watching movies on Netflix, catching up with books I’ve been meaning to read, sleeping late and doing some

sewing. Now it’s time to go outside and play. It’s jump rope time and jogging time. It’s time for some long walks on the trails in a local park and for some yoga on a mat outside on the grass in a huge park surrounded by some big, old trees with some cumulous clouds floating by overhead. Sitting on my pink yoga mat, I center myself and as I breathe in and out ever so slowly, I feel all of my stress go away. I bring a green smoothie along and now that I really feel “health conscious,” it’s a good time to maintain a regular exercise program because when I do, I feel great! Chilean poet-diplomat and politician Pablo Neruda once said: “You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep Spring from coming.”

Looking for a summer job?

The Town of Oyster Bay is seeking counselors for its TOB Summer Recreation Program, Oyster Bay Town Councilwoman Michele M. Johnson announced. “Counselors have a unique opportunity to be a part of the Town’s highly acclaimed summer recreation program,” Councilwoman Johnson said. “Applicants must be 16 years of age or older and be available for the duration of the program, which runs 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. from June 28 through August 11.” Councilwoman Johnson said the six week program is extremely rewarding for the counselors and entails creating an exciting, age-grouped summer experience for kids between the ages of 4 and 12. “The job is ideal for young people seeking to build up their resume,” Councilwoman Johnson said. “They will have the satisfaction of making a true difference in the lives of others and will have a lot of fun at the same time. Counselors get real-world experience

and, many times, they make lifelong friends in the process.” Depending on their ages, the Town’s Summer Recreation Program participants take part in trips, tournaments, shows and athletic events, including the always popular Tobay Games. “There’s a host of activities that keep both the counselors and the participants busy and entertained,” Councilwoman Johnson said. “Being a counselor is a great first job for many young Town of Oyster Bay residents.” Councilwoman Johnson noted that the program is held at Marjorie R. Post (Massapequa),Plainview-Old Bethpage and Syosset-Woodbury Community Parks, Ellsworth W. Allen Town Park in Farmingdale, Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park and Beach in Oyster Bay, and Tappen Beach in Glenwood Landing. For more information and to set up an interview, prospective counselors should contact Diane Ramos the Department of Parks Recreation Division at (516) 797-4125.

Woodbury resident runs for Oyster Bay Town Supervisor

From page 1 position for over thirty years at NSLIJ, teaching residents in the dental field. Herman said about his team running on the Democratic party line, that “sometimes a person needs to stand on the shoulders of giants to see farther.

With the four of us collaborating, we make for a better team. To me it’s not about Democrats versus Republicans, it’s about corruption versus honesty. It is the government for the people by the people, not the other way around.”

Syosset named “Best Community for Music From page1 versity of Kansas. “This is a wonderful distinction for our program because it is an award that recognizes the Syosset community’s commitment to music education” said Syosset CSD Coordinator of Fine and Performing Arts, K-12 Michael

Salzman. “Syosset has long recognized the importance of music education in the lives of its young people. We have great teachers and talented students, all of whom achieve excellence because of the level of community support for music education found in Syosset.
