Last chance to grieve your taxes
Oyster Bay Receiver of Taxes James J. Stefanich reminds taxpayers of their right to challenge their property tax assessment for the 2020-2021 property tax year. Grievances may be filed with the Nassau County Assessment Review Commission during the “grievance period,” which ends on April 30, 2019. Receiver Stefanich stated, “Any taxpayer who feels an error has been made regarding their property assessment should take
advantage of this opportunity to establish a correct and fair assessment value for their home. Any taxpayer who wishes to challenge their property assessment must complete the necessary forms and return them to Nassau County Assessment Review Commission.” The Nassau County Assessment Review Commission is located at 240 Old Country Road, Mineola, NY, 11501. Assessment challenges must be postmarked
by April 30. To receive an application in the mail, or receive assistance over the phone, The Assessment Review Commission may be contacted at (516) 5713214. . Receiver Stefanich has made applications available at his offices located at Town Hall North, 74 Audrey Avenue, Oyster Bay and Town Hall South, 977 Hicksville Road, Massapequa.
Tighter restrictions are coming to hookah lounges and vaping products being sold within the Town of Oyster Bay. The announcement was made at a press conference at the YES Community Counseling Center In Massapequa last Monday. “The intent of this legislation is to keep these stores out of our downtowns and away from schools and parks to protect our children,” said Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino at the conference. “Recent studies have shown a troubling increase in the use of vaping products among our youth.” One of the statistics he cited from the New York State Health Department, showed a 160% increase in the number of young people smoking e-cigarettes in the last five years. “That’s a very frightening statistic. E-cigarettes pose a serious risk to young people and their dangers are extensive,” said Saladino. The new restrictions include all establishments that sell vaping products to post signage warning of the dangers of e-cigarette use. All hookah lounges, smoke shops and vape shops opening within town borders will only be permissible to open in an industrial zone area. “We are trying to keep them away from schools, from homes, from houses of worship in our downtowns. In addition smoke and vape shops and lounges will be restricted from opening 1,000 feet from a residential zone as well as a school, library, church, any place of worship, parks and playgrounds.” Jay, the manager of Smoke Stax Tobacco Shop in Hicksville, said that these new restrictions would have a detrimental effect on his business. “It will have an effect big time on my ability to make a living,” said Jay, who did not want his last name used. Hopefully this won’t put us out of business because products like soda and candy are not selling like they used to. There is a lot of competition out there.” Saladino said that he hopes the new initiatives will protect young people and the overall quality of life in the Town. The Town Board is expected to hold a vote on the new legislation in a town meeting in May.

Allowing this litter to remain on our shorelines will only lead to increasingly worse damage for the environment.

Bethpage High School senior Soham Maiti recently had his article, “The Allegory of the Digital Cave,” published in the peer-reviewed academic journal, “Questions: Philosophy for Young People.” Soham’s article explores whether the pursuit of truth still matters in society and the impact technology has had on instant responses. He felt his philosophy class experience as well as his roles as Philosophy Club president and Ethics Bowl team captain gave him a great foundation to analyze how ancient philosophy affects the modern world.

Wisdom Lane Middle School students and staff proudly wore their blue T-shirts to support the blue-footed booby. Photo courtesy of the Levittown Public Schools In honor of Earth Day, members of Wisdom Lane Middle School’s Earth and Space Club from the Levittown Public Schools wanted to give back to a species in need, specifically the blue-footed booby, which has declined in population. With the guidance of club advisers Leslie Maynard and Vanessa Kowalczyk, the members held a fundraiser and raised $700 for the Galapagos Conservancy to help the blue-footed booby, a marine bird that resides on the Galapagos Islands. During the course of a week, members of the Earth and Space Club sold more than 100 blue T-shirts with the words “It’s Up to You to Keep The
Earth Blue” which were designed by art teacher Carla Herbert. They also held candy sales after school and a raffle contest. Those who entered the raffle were eligible to win one of four knitted blue-footed booby toys which Maynard created herself. The fundraiser was inspired by The Blue Feet Foundation which was founded by two young brothers who have made it their mission to raise money for blue-footed booby population decline research with their sale of blue socks. Through Wisdom Lane’s fundraiser, students began to learn more about the marine bird and bring that knowledge into their class assignments as well.

Saving the bees at Central Blvd. School
Second-graders at Charles Campagne Elementary School used their self-created “pollinators” during a lesson on flowers and bees in the STEM lab on April 5.

Second-graders at Charles Campagne Elementary School discussed and reported their findings during a “Save the Bees” lesson on April 5. Second-graders at the Bethpage Union Free School District’s Central Boulevard Elementary School increased their knowledge of pollination with a “Save the Bees” lesson inside the school’s STEM lab. Students were tasked with a fictional experiment of moving pollen from one flower to another to help the dying bees. Paper flowers created by each student included labels for the pollen, sta-
men, stigma, nectar and petal sections. Using a “pollinator” constructed from pipe cleaner, cotton and tape, students moved colored dust representing pollen from one flower to another as a handson test. The experimentation capped off a lesson about the importance of bees in the growth of all flowers and plants that include fruits and vegetables.

Computer animation students in Christopher Fedorczak’s classes at Levittown’s Gerald R. Claps Career and Technical Center gained real world insight throughout the school year with the help of guest speakers, including former GC Tech graduates. Fedorczak created the presentation series, “The Real World Experience,” for students to hear from professionals who shared their own stories, passions and advice. Recent college graduate and former GC Tech student Laurence Timpano visited students to discuss the college experience and prepare them for life after high school. He presented on a series of topics, including the workforce after high school and college, and engaged students by explaining how he paid his way through the use of scholarship opportunities. Other presentations included learning about the process of animation in the production world by professional animator Brian Carroll, whose work was featured in network television animation such as “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” and many others. He spoke to students about his experience working as professional 2D animator and background illustrator/designer for different televised series. Carroll showcased a variety of
his work, from storyboards to completed backgrounds used in televised animation. Additionally, he looked at students work and provided feedback. Transitioning from 2D to 3D, students learned about the professional 3D production world from Paul Lipsky, a full-time professional 3D animator in the television and commercial world for more than 20 years. Lipsky runs his own full scale 3D animation studio where he works with virtual reality, augmented reality and simulation animation. He also created a new college program for students interested in pursuing the digital arts. In addition, local and national college representatives offering animation courses of study, visited computer animation classes to present different facets of the college experience from career opportunities to the college selection process. Students were also given informal portfolio reviews of their class projects as well as the opportunity to reach out to local college faculty for additional information. Some of these colleges included the Savannah College of Art and Design, Academy of Art University, New York Institute of Technology and Five Towns College.

Long Island sports league caters to South Asians

The Heavy Hittaz
The Savages BY GARY SIMEONE A sports league that has its roots in Hicksville, has grown into a mammoth tri-state organization. The South Asian Sports Network, which was organized by Plainview resident Ammad Sheikh back in 2007, now has 2,500 members on its roster and is the largest South Asian sports organization in North America. “This was kind of hobby that was started in 2007, where we had softball games that were being played at fields in Plainview and Old Bethpage” said
the 41-year-old Sheikh, who grew up in Hicksville. “Now we have over 2,500 members in our network, who play in different leagues including ones for softball, basketball, football, bowling and ultimate frisbee.” The South Asian Sports Network has members from many different countries including India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Guyana. Most of the games take place at Cantiague Park and Eisenhower Park in East Meadow. Softball and ultimate frisbee draw the biggest numbers in the spring and summer and football
is most popular in the fall when the weather turns a little bit cooler. Sheikh said that basketball, which seems to be the most popular sport, has sixty different teams playing in four different divisions. “All of the basketball games take place in indoor courts usually in different gyms in Queens,” said Sheikh. “Unfortunately the indoor courts on Long Island are a bit expensive.” Members pay a nominal fee to cover insurance costs, field time and for uniforms. There are even referees hired to ref games in each of the dif-
ferent leagues. At the end of the season for each sport, there are playoffs and championship games with trophies given out to the winning teams. “The competition is obviously part of it, but I think the social aspect is even more important,” said Sheikh. “By this point, most of the teams players know each other and there is a friendly rivalry that goes on every week.” He added that a lot of the network’s members see each other off of the fields at community events such as

A Day to Follow Whim and Whimsy in Venice BY KAREN RUBIN TRAVEL FEATURES SYNDICATE GOINGPLACESFARANDNEAR.COM One of the smartest choices I make in preparation for a weeklong self-guided bike tour from Venice to Trieste to Istria (Slovenia to Croatia) is to arrive a day earlier. This gives me the unsurpassed luxury of spending a day wandering around Venice without a plan or an objective, just to follow whim and whimsy and take in the incomparable essence of this enchanting city. I am transfixed by Venice – the colors, the constant motion, the angles, the architecture, how you never know what you will see around any corner, how getting lost leads to new discovery. I have that cherished time to really focus on details. Eric, my son who will be biking with me, will be arriving the next day, and I have made my way from Marco Polo International Airport to the Hotel Alexander on the mainland in Mestre by public bus (following the directions provided by FunActive, the tour company). I drop my bags and have most of the day to explore on my own. The hotel that has been selected on the FunActiv tour (self-guided means that they have booked the inns and laid out the route, provide the rental bikes and support, ferry the luggage each day to the next inn) which I booked through
The graceful choreography of the gondoliers © Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com Biketours.com, is well located, just a short walk to a tram that comes frequently (they tell me where to buy the ticket, at a convenience store) and whisks me in comfort to the magnificent old city in 15 minutes. Before I left the hotel, I had spotted a flyer about a new Leonardo Da Vinci Museum and am delighted when, serendipitously, I find myself right in front of it, next door to Chiesa di San Rocco, a church
where a concert is underway. I listen for awhile and then go into the Museum. What distinguishes the Leonardo Da Vinci Museum is that it is designed as a laboratory for experimentation and curiosity – actually giving you insights into the mind of Leonardo da Vinci by bringing his manuscripts, schematics and drawings to reality. Engineers have recreated largescale models of Da Vinci’s inven-
G O I N G P L A C E S N E A R A N D F A R
tions from his own plans “created through the skillful craftsmanship typical of the Renaissance workshops” which you can touch and maneuver. Essentially, you get to play with DaVinci’s inventions – delighting children of all ages. The museum also exhibits DaVinci’s anatomical studies. A special space is dedicated to his main pictorial works including the Mona Lisa See page D2

A Day to Follow Whim and Whimsy in Venice
Continued from page D1 and Annunciation, reproduced using high-resolution backlight technology. (Open daily, Scuola Grand di San Rocco, www.davincimuseum.it). My motto, “Seize the day” (and waste no time) serves me well, because my first day is sunny, bringing out the colors of Venice – along with everyone else. Venice is unbelievably crowded with tourists– like Times Square but on a much, much bigger scale– and quite warm and humid. But I don’t mind and I find myself wandering down streets and alleys in neighborhoods (and they are really neighborhoods, where Venetians live) that are amazingly uncrowded and quiet.
I periodically take refuge in churches to get out of the heat and take a bit of a rest and often am pleasantly surprised to discover art and music. One of the delights of Venice is that it is set up like a labyrinth of warrens, alleys, bridges over canals, so you are constantly surprised by the scenes that come into view as you walk about. The most popular is the famous view from the Rialto Bridge at the center of the city where you literally have to wait your turn to get a photo. The narrow alleys all of a sudden open up into the famous square of San Marco and I come upon the Basilica of San Marco with its ornate decoration. There is so much to see and do here
Bridge of Sighs, Doge Palace © Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com
in the piazza, which remarkably has retained the same look as depicted in Renaissance paintings. At San Marco, I stand on a bridge the gondoliers go under to get to the Bridge of Sighs – that famous place in the Doge Palace where prisoners would be taken to their cramped, damp cells, across this bridge with the last view of the open sky and their last breath of fresh air. It’s like rush hour of the gondolas. I admire the skill with which they deftly turn 90-degree corners and avoid hitting each other or smack into the pilings. The choreography of their floating dance is transfixing – I notice the oar lock the gondoliers use, shaped in such a way that they get a different
angle to control their stroke. What really strikes me is that despite the crowds, how clean Venice’s streets are (though there is graffiti, more a reflection of political climate) and how fresh. This wasn’t the case when I last visited, 10 years ago. I linger in the Piazza San Marco for a time, and am sitting on marble benches under an archway at the Doge Palace when I hear thunder. Last time I was here, the city was flooded – platforms mysteriously would appear on the streets that you had to walk over to avoid wading in six inches of water – a worrisome warning that Venice may at some point become submerged altogether with rising sea level.

No one seems particularly bothered by the thunder, not even the street vendors. I take the tram back to the hotel, and just before I get there, the thunderstorm starts. The next morning is raining, but no matter. I hop the tram again, a five-minute walk from the Hotel Alexander through the neighborhood for the ride into Venice, and this time, after crossing over the bridge that provides entrance to the Old City (and apparently closes at night to those who aren’t living or staying here) go left at the fork instead of right. I walk over a bridge and see a sign pointing to the Jewish Ghetto and follow it. I come upon a group of Israeli tourists huddled under a passageway leading into the Jewish quarter as their guide gives her talk. I walk ahead and find the synagogue, where Sabbath services are just finishing, guarded by city soldiers who don’t let me in. The last time I was in Venice, I happened upon Chabad gathering for Shabbat dinner and was invited in. The Chabad are actively repopulating European cities that emptied their Jewish communities during the Holocaust. I have a few hours before Eric

On the Hofstra 2018-19 basketball season BY LOU THEODORE Here is part of what I wrote at the start of the Hofstra Men’s 2018-19 basketball season. “The 10/28 Newsday headlines blared away ‘Hofstra Targets NCAA: Wright-Foreman key to making March Madness” I disagree. WrightForeman and defense will send Hofstra to the Promised Land. The backcourt, led by superstar all-American candidate JWF, may be able to carry the club and overcome any deficiencies upfront…and this will be determined as the season goes forward.” Well, what about the players this year? Superman (Justin WrightForeman) emerged as a star. My discussions with 7 NBA scouts suggest that he has a 25% chance of making it. His major drawback: physical size and body strength. I like his chances for two reason: backcourt drafts are preferred and JWF has continued to improve with each season. The rest of the team? Buie and Ray also continued to improve and Coburn was the most pleasant of all surprises. To top it all off, Taylor, the center transfer from Purdue, improved significantly as the season progressed; he proved a more than adequate replacement for
Rokas with his shot blocking and stellar defensive play, as well as his ability to make layups and foul shots. The team appeared unbeatable midway through the season. And, what about the team’s performance this year? I’ll make this short. The club had what I would consider a turn-around year. They won the CAA Championship but failed to win the tournament, losing to Northeastern in the finals following a lackluster performance in their previous 5 CAA games. They closed the season out with a loss to a quality opponent in the first round of the NIT…an ultra-solid game in which they played great and could have won with a couple of breaks. It is fair to conclude that the personnel was there for the team to go further. Here’s my analysis of reasons on why they didn’t. 1. How many teams that made the Sweet 16 played zone defense? If you answered hardly any, you’d be right. And, there is a reason why the better teams do NOT play zone defense. Over the years, only Syracuse’s zone has withstood the test of time, but they too have fallen by the wayside in recent years as more well-coached teams have
figured out how to destroy this defense. Hofstra, once again, committed to a zone defense this season and that, more than anything else, lead to their limited success. Case in point: During the CAA championship game between Hofstra and Northeastern, Mary (my wife) kept questioning why Northeastern was getting so many easy open shots while Hofstra struggled to get a good shot. I explained what happens when a team plays zone defense. Accept it – nothing can replace the intensity of an in-yourface man-to-man defense. NOTHING!!! 2. I keep repeating this after each season. You are inviting trouble when you commit to a 7-man rotation, with 5 players rotating around 4 positions. A successful team needs season-tested layers not only when players are in foul trouble but also at tournament time when confronting either a 3-game/3day or 4-game/4-day schedule. 3. Coach Mikalich and his staff have done a superb job in recruiting --- when it comes to offensive players. But defense is as important as offense, right? All coaches agree with this irrefutable statement, but few do anything about it. Bottom line: Recruit for defense as well as offense.
4. The object every season for any club in a mid-major conference is to win their tournament, NOT their conference. Iona College, with essentially mediocre seasons, has won the MAAC tournament the last 4 years in a row. Does Tim Cluess know something that other coaches don’t know? I believe he has figured out that the corrupt NCAA has stacked the deck against mid-major teams, and the only way to survive and prosper is to win their tournament. Bottom line: Play to win the tournament, NOT conference games during the season. How does a team do this? I discussed this very topic in the 2nd edition of my “Basketball Coaching 101” book. I also noted earlier that this might be a do-or-die season for Hofstra since the club is top-heavy with seniors and only one freshman along with two sophs. But things have changed. My spies have informed me that Buie has been granted another year of stay (eligibility) and Jalen Ray – who continues to grow (physically) – has become as a quality guard/small forward with some defenSee page D5

The ‘Burial Benefit’ That Won’t Bury You BY TOM MARGENAU
About a month ago, I wrote a column explaining what family members need to do when a loved one who was getting Social Security benefits dies. I primarily discussed what might need to be done about returning the last Social Security check (depending on the timing of the death). I also used that column to help a surviving spouse know what possible widow’s (or widower’s) benefits might be due and how to apply for them. I only briefly mentioned the one-time $255 so called “burial benefit” that is sometimes payable. I guess that was a mistake because I got lots of follow-up emails asking me about that penurious, yet popular, Social Security benefit. I confused why I was getting all those questions because I thought I had recently covered the topic. After checking my records, I learned that “recent” column was from 2011. (Time flies when you are having fun.) So it’s time, once again, to discuss the infamous Social Security “death benefit.” It didn’t start out as a death benefit, per se; at least not in the context it is thought of today. It certainly was never meant to be a “burial benefit,” as many people call it. As part of the thinking that went into the original Social Security act passed in 1935, Congress realized that many of the new Social Security taxpayers would die before they ever had a chance to collect benefits. Or they would die without having earned enough “quarters of coverage” to be insured for survivor benefits for any dependents. So they decided to compensate the families of a loved one who died with some form of reimbursement for the Social Security taxes that the deceased had paid into the system. They set up a one-time benefit they called the “lump-sum death payment” and it was originally intended to reimburse the family with an amount equal to 3 1/2 percent of the money the deceased had paid into the system. It was supposed to be a temporary benefit; Congress knew that as time passed, most workers would be paying a sufficient amount of money into Social Security that they would be insured for survivor benefits. In other words, when a taxpayer died, the widow or widower (and any minor children) would get monthly benefits. So this lump-sum payout would no longer be needed. And as often happens with government programs, once you start paying a benefit, it’s hard to take it away. Over the years, there have been any number of proposals to eliminate the lump-sum death payment. But as miserly as the benefit is, it’s a popular feature of the Social Security program. Politicians soon learned that to tamper with it meant an automatic loss in the next election. So the “temporary benefit” never went away.
But occasionally, Congress has made some relatively minor adjustments to the original law. In 1954, they capped the benefit at $255 -- and it’s remained at that level ever since. And in 1983, when politicians were looking for ways to save money in the Social Security system, they restricted the payment of the one-time death payment only to a “spouse who was living with the deceased at the time of death.” And that’s where we are today. We have an essentially meaningless “death benefit” paid only to a widow or widower. Perhaps 50 years ago, $255 paid the cost of a funeral. Today, it barely covers the price of the flowers. If I were the king of the Social Security world, I would do one of two things. Either I would raise the death benefit to something meaningful, like say $2,500. Or I would simply eliminate it. But I’m a columnist, not a king. So all I can do it explain the law and answer any questions you might have about it. Q: My wife recently died. She was a homemaker all of her life so she was getting spousal benefits on my record. Everything went fine with stopping her Social Security checks. But I have two questions. When will I get the $255 death benefit? And will my benefit go up to give me credit for the spousal share that was being deducted from my checks? A: I’m sorry, but the $255 death benefit is only paid on the account of someone who had worked and paid Social Security taxes. It sounds like your wife never did that because she was just receiving spousal benefits, not her own Social Security. And the money paid to a spouse is just an “add on” benefit. In other words, nothing was taken out of your retirement check to pay her. So your benefit rate will remain the same. Q: My husband died 5 years ago, when I was in my late 50s. I don’t ever remember getting the death benefit. Was it automatic? A: No, it’s not automatic. You must apply for the death benefit. I’m not sure, but it might be too late to file for it now. To find out, call Social Security at 800772-1213. Q: My father died on Feb. 25. My parents were divorced, although they were still close friends. My mother applied for and started getting divorced widow’s benefits on his record. But I have two questions. Why did she have to return his February check? And why didn’t she get the $255 death benefit? A: If you go back and read that prior column I mentioned earlier, you will learn why no one was due the proceeds of your father’s February Social Security payment. In a nutshell, it’s because Social Security benefits are not prorated. Because your father didn’t live the entire month of February,
the check for that month had to be returned. But there is an upside to that lack of proration. Your mother is going to get a divorced widow’s benefit for the whole month of February, even though she was a widow for only three days in that month. As far the death benefit goes, the law says it can only be paid to a widow who
was living with the deceased at the time of death. I assume your divorced parents weren’t living together. So that’s why the $255 can’t be paid to her. If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has the answer. Contact him at thomas.margenau@comcast.net. COPYRIGHT 2019 CREATORS.COM

The Millennials plight in buying their first homes BY PHILIP A. RAICES
I
have been doing a lot of reading and research lately, about the increase in the percentage of millennials (the largest generation of potential purchasers in the history of the U.S.) that are living at home in the U.S. According to Business Insider magazine, and I quote: “Nearly one in three millennials lives in their parents’ home.” The US Census Bureau recently released a study on how young adulthood has changed between the 1970s and today. One of the main topics covered in the study was living situations. In 1975, a 57% majority of young adults aged 18-34 lived with a spouse, while just 26% of adults lived in their parents’ home. In 2016, only 27% of young adults lived with a spouse, while the proportion of 18-34 year olds living with their parents went up to 31%, becoming the most common living situation. There are a number of reasons why this current trend is increasing and causing many millennials not to be able to purchase their first home, and I quote Zack Friedman, senior contributor to Fortune magazine: 1.) Student loan debt (44 million individuals strapped with 1.5 trillion loans). 2.) Rising housing costs and lack of affordability are outpacing stagnant and lackluster wages. 3.) 8%(one fifth of millennials) of borrowers for a home are denied due to lower than normal credit scores as well as too high debt/income ratios and also due to late or non-payments on student loans and credit cards as per the National Association of Realtors.
4.) Eight three percent of people twenty two to thirty five years of age with student debt (average amount owed $30,000 as per http:// www.studentloanhero. com and one fifth owe $100,000+ have not been able to save and buy their first home as per the National Association of Realtors (http://www. nar.com). Most important, these loans, which decrease F.I.C.O. (Fair Isaac Company) scores also making saving, next to impossible. 5.) For every $1000 increase in student debt, lowered the chances of homeownership one to two percentage points, during the first five years after their college education (as per three analysts, Alvaro Mezza, Daniel Ringo and Kamila Sommer, from the Federal Reserve division of research and statistics quoted from The Mortgage News Daily Newswire (http://www. mortgagenewsdaily.com) 2/5/19 as per columnist, Jann Swanson Although our economy is very strong (but not for everyone), eighty five percent of student loan borrowers say, they are having great difficulty in saving for a home, and is forcing many to live or go back living with their mom or parents and delay their purchase, so they can save up more money for a down payment, as per the National Association of Realtors. Homeownership peaked in 2005 at 69 percent (45 percent of millennials 24-32 owned their homes) and then decreased to thirty six percent, mainly due to the heavy debt burden of their

Also add to this the performance of Coburn this past season. I’m good at math and it seems that they will have an excellent starting 4 that may be devoid of a center. Hopefully, one of the transfers or one of the freshmen or a new recruit will fill
this void. Bottom line 1: a quality center could bring another CAA championship next year. Bottom line 2: playing man-to-man may insure 1. In any event, I’ve changed my mind and now believe that 2019-20 will be another good year. I return at the start of next season.

student loans). This was the greatest drop among young adults to date. The majority of banks wanted debt/income ratios (student plus housing loans) to be at or below 36 percent, unless you were a doctor or professional with a higher income potential or living in higher cost areas, where they would push the debt/ income higher, as needed. More millennials are leaving urban areas where salaries tend to be lower to the cities or areas with higher potential earnings. According to Annie Nova on the personal finance team at CNBC in May of 2018, in the fifty larges metro areas, of 24-36 year olds, 23% lived with mom up from 13.5% in 2005. According to the Brookings Institute forty percent of student loans will be in default by 2023, if something drastic is not done today! Congress and the Senate need to devise some type of plan and partial solution as soon as possible, leading to lessoning the burden that these student loans have on those trying to save and purchase their first home. If not our housing market will slow down much faster without those new buyers and potentially lead to a much slower economy and will affect other related industries to slow too. Parents with any type of money to assist their children should do so, since we aren’t taking anything with us! (you can give $14,000 or $28,000 for husband and wife) per child per year as a gift, tax free, refer to your accountant for more advice) Here are some ideas to help
millennials begin down the path of purchasing their first home: According to Make Lemonade, (makelemonade.com how to build your credit scores) the best way to build credit is to understand that your credit score - particularly your FICO (created by the Fair Isaac Company) score - is based on the following components: 1. Payment history = 35% 2. Credit utilization = 30% 3. Account age = 15% 4. Inquiries = 10% 5. Credit Mix = 10% A higher credit score can score your better rates on credit cards, private student loans, student loan refinancing, mortgages, auto loans and much more. Lastly, years ago and even today, many went out and took on a second and even third job (as many immigrants do today!). So if you want that “picket fence,” homeowner association Condo, or co-op then go secure another job or two to earn additional money to get out of your parent’s home. Just do it! Philp A.

A Day to Follow Whim and Whimsy in Venice C ontinued from page D3
arrives and we have our orientation with a FunActive guide for our bike tour. I make my way to San Marco again, before walking back to the depot to get the tram back to the hotel, in time for Eric and the guide to arrive. We spend about an hour with Anthony, the FunActive guide, actually hurrying him along because we are so anxious to get back to Venice so Eric can have some time there. Anthony persists: going over the day-by-day maps, pointing out sights we might look out for, and alternative routes we can take, and then fits us to the bikes we will be taking. By the time we get to Venice in the afternoon, the rain has cleared. We return together to the Jewish Ghetto and wander from there. I let Eric take the lead so he can have that same delight in discovering Venice for himself. It is important to realize that Venice is a place where people live (signs ask visitors to respect the residents), and coming in this way, through the Jewish Ghetto, we find many streets – very quiet streets – that are simply neighborhoods off the beaten tourist track. Laundry stretched across the canal. Eric uses his tech prowess (and the AFAR app) to find a restaurant, which gives a purpose and focus to our wandering through the streets. We arrive at Al Portego just in time before all the tables would be reserved for dinner. After dinner, we walk to San Marco, which is especially magical at night. I have saved visiting the Doge Palace for the evening (the Doge Palace and three other museums stay open on Fridays and Saturdays until 11 pm, last entrance at 10 pm) so that Eric could see it as well. But Eric is too exhausted after having traveled all day and heads back to the hotel. I waltz in at 7:30 pm without waiting at all – such a contrast to the daytime when the lines are long and hundreds of people, including massive tour groups, funnel in at once. The ticket, I learn, is valid at all four museums and good for three months. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to take advantage, but the ticket is well worth it. Priceless, in fact. I find myself in these rooms – grand doesn’t begin to describe it – by myself or with at most five other people. All of us are breathless. No one speaks. The silence is thrilling. The art work – monumental pieces by titans of the Renaissance – fill the massive walls and the entire ceiling. One room is grander and bigger and more gilded than the next, and at this hour, at this moment, it feels like all of this is for me and me alone.

Students turn back time in “Bye, Bye Birdie”
Members of the cast of Bethpage High School’s “Bye, Bye Birdie” production performed during dress rehearsal on March 27.
The cast and crew of “Bye, Bye Birdie” at Bethpage High School held a dress rehearsal on March 27 before a three-night production.
The Bethpage High School Masquers’ Guild produced three captivating performances of “Bye, Bye Birdie” at the Bethpage Center for Performing Arts from March 28-30. Families, administration, staff and community members enjoyed each of the three performances directed and choreographed by Ilana Strongin, produced by Michelle Marino and under the vocal direction of Jessica Sinisi. The play marked the final district musical for many of the seniors in the cast and crew. The show is inspired by the popularity of singer Elvis Presley and his draft notice into the U.S. Army
in 1957. The musical features rockand-roll idol Conrad Birdie, played by Joseph Colavolpe, being drafted into the Army and his agent Albert Peterson, portrayed by William Katartzis, creating a farewell performance on the Ed Sullivan Show. The farewell performance is hoped to also save Almaelou Records from going under. “We would like to thank the cast and crews for all of their hard work to make ‘Bye, Bye Birdie’ a success,” said Ms. Strongin. “We could not have done this performance without the help and support of our custodial, administrative and building staff.” Photos courtesy of the Bethpage Union Free School District
The cast of “Bye, Bye Birdie” at Bethpage High School danced during dress rehearsal on March 27.
“Thoughtful Thursday” at Central Blvd. School The “Thoughtful Thursday” monthly series at the Bethpage Union Free School District’s Central Boulevard Elementary School continues, and a special activity was held on April 11 with the intention of helping others. Exactly one month shy of the Long Island Special Olympics, students created artwork for the local event. Grade levels were tasked with different activities that led to a collaborative compilation of decorations to support the Special Olympics participants. Kindergarten and
A kindergarten class at Central Boulevard created ribbons for the upcoming Long Island Special Olympics during a “Thoughtful Thursday” project on April 11.

first grade classes colored and cut out inspirational ribbons, while second-graders prepared rainbows displaying special messages. Third and fourth grade classes wrote thank-you notes for volunteers, and the fifth-graders illustrated posters for athlete encouragement. The district will host more than 500 athletes for the Long Island Special Olympics, which will take place at the high school’s athletic fields on May 11.

Abbey Lane students celebrate PARP with children’s author

As part of their Pick A Reading Partner program, students at Abbey Lane Elementary School in the Levittown Public Schools heard from children’s book author Brian Heinz on Jan. 28. With the support of the Abbey Lane School PTA, Heinz spoke to students about being an author, his love of reading and animals. Heinz has published more than 15 books, with a new novel being released this fall. Due to many of his books focusing on animals, Heinz explained to the students that writers must do research before they write. He shared stories about his travels with the classes and his past encounters with the animals that he has written about. The students were engaged and laughed along with his humorous stories. Heinz also explained the process of a book getting published and into the hands of readers. He walked them through the start of an idea to the rough draft, finished manuscript, artist and more. Heinz’s visit was one of many PARP events that Abbey Lane students are participated in. They have also engaged in book “tastings,” Read-A-Shirt Day, Read-A-Recipe Day, scavenger hunt and book swap and more.
