Town plans “Put Bullying On Ice” Awareness Night

In recognition of National Bullying Prevention Month, the Town of Oyster Bay will hold a “Put Bullying on Ice” Awareness Night. The event will take place at the Town of Oyster Bay Ice Skating Center in Bethpage on Saturday, October 6th from 7PM – 9PM during the public skate session. Free admission and skate rentals are offered for all students and families who reside in the Town of Oyster Bay. The Ice Skating Center’s concessionaire will offer a 25% discount for all purchases.

Town of Supervisor Joseph Saladino stated, “The Town of Oyster Bay is

proud to partner with residents and the Long Island Coalition Against Bullying and Long Island Crisis Center to raise awareness, enhance dialogue among children about the dangers associated with bullying and recognize the need for education and commitment to prevent this type of behavior. Together, we will put bullying on ice and strengthen the bonds of our community.”

The event - sponsored by the Long Island Coalition Against Bullying and the Long Island Crisis Center, and organized by Plainview resident Asha John – also offers free information and resourc-

es for residents seeking additional information. The Town of Oyster Bay and Long Island Coalition Against Bullying will also host a “Parents Night” later this fall to provide residents a free workshop and public forum to discuss the issue of bullying.

“Together as a community, we will unite for acceptance while pledging to create a kinder world without bullying,” Town Councilwoman Rebecca Alesia said. “As a fellow Plainview mom, I commend Asha John and her family for turning a negative experience into such a positive night for our community.

When we stand together, no one stands alone.”

In December 2017, the son of Plainview resident Asha John experienced an unfortunate bullying situation while enjoying an evening of skating in Bethpage. The Town of Oyster Bay Parks Department took immediate action to address this issue and worked in collaboration with Ms. John to develop a “Put Bullying on Ice” Awareness Night.

For more information about this “Put Bullying on Ice” Awareness Night, please contact the Town of Oyster Bay Parks Department at (516) 797-4115.

Saajid Chowdhury, a senior at General Douglas MacArthur High School has recently been recognized as one of 16,000 National Merit Semifinalists in the 2019 National Merit Scholarship Program. He will continue on in the competition for one of 7,500 National Merit Scholarships worth more than $31 million that will be offered in the spring of 2019.

Approximately 1.6 million juniors entered the 2019 National Merit Scholarship Program by taking the 2017 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test.

Chowdhury is now part of the nationwide pool of semifinalists who represent less than one percent of U.S. high school seniors, including the highest scoring entrants in each state. The next step of the program will be to identify 15,000 finalists out of the

16,000 semifinalists.

“I feel really honored that I’m in the top one percent of students in the nation said Chowdhury. “I feel like my hard work in high school has paid off; all of the skills that I built up through the years emanated in such a great score.”

Chowdhury is currently enrolled in seven Advanced Placement courses and is passionate about math, science and music. As a cello player, he is involved in every orchestra that MacArthur has to offer, is a member of Science Olympiads, is on the school’s mathletes team and is on the Nassau County All Star Mathletes team. Chowdhury is also heavily involved in MacArthur’s science research program and serves as the treasurer of the school’s National Honor Society.

BY GARY SIMEONE Massapequa resident Chris Stefanou is doing his part to help save what he calls the top predators of the ocean. For over three years now, the 22-year-old has been tagging and releasing all types of sharks in the name of science.

“It started about three years ago when I was out fishing for bluefish and striped bass off of Gilgo Beach,” said Stefanou, who works as a nursing assistant at St. Francis Hospital. “I ended up hooking something so big and powerful that it ended up snapping two of my lines.”

He said that he went to the nearby bait shop for heavier gear to try and reel in whatever was putting so much pressure on his lines.

“My friends came with me to help and we ended up bringing in a four foot long shark. We took the hook out of its mouth, brought it back up to the beach and released it.”

Ever since then, he became hooked on catching the giant predators and tagging and releasing them as a volunteer for the NOAA, (National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration.)

“In the span of three years, I’ve probably caught over a hundred sharks of varying sizes. The biggest I’ve reeled in was a 91/2-foot tiger shark, that probably weighed 250 pounds.”

He said that since he’s been doing it,

Chris Stefanou

Mill Neck Family’s

people have come up to him on the beach, watching him reel the animals in and asking him questions in the process.

“I love to be able to educate people about these endangered species and let them know that there’s nothing to be scared of.

People have a lot of misconceptions about sharks, probably from watching movies like Jaws and other TV shows.”

He said that species like the tiger sharks are actually docile creatures, and that people are more likely to be attacked by bees, wasps or snakes than sharks in the ocean.

As part of his volunteer position with the NOAA, Stefanou is able to monitor sharks congregation areas, swimming habits and migration patterns. He’s also able to see how many of the creatures are being injured through the overuse of commercial fishing nets.

“I’ve probably caught half a dozen sharks with commercial nets caught in their dorsal fins that were cutting into their flesh.”

He said that he hopes to see regulations put in place that would ban commercial fishing in certain areas and also regulations on catching sharks to make food such as shark fin soup.

“I want to continue doing this for as long as I can because I have a love for these creatures who are the top predators monitoring our oceans,” said Stefanou.

“They are really in control of our oceans.”

Levittown Curriculum Associate for Music Vincent D'Ulisse (left) with Award of Merit winner Jordan Coene (right).

Jordan Coene, a senior at General Douglas MacArthur High School, was recently recognized as a 2018-2019 Award of Merit recipient for theater during the Long Island Scholar Artist Program’s gala at the Tilles Center for the Performing Arts. Sponsored by the Long Island Arts Alliance, the program commends students with high academic achievement who excel in the areas of music, visual arts, dance, theater, or media arts.

To be eligible for this honor, students must display an unweighted grade point average of a 90 or above and showcase their excellence in the arts with a performance recording or portfolio of their work and an essay. Award recipients are then determined by panels of artists and arts educators. Coene was nominated by her junior year English teacher Kristin Mund.

“Not only is Jordan an exceptional scholar, she is so gifted in art, screen writing, and acting,” said Mund. “She brought life into every lesson with her whimsical smile and passionate attitude. Her rendition of Abigail Williams from Arthur Miller’s The Crucible is one for the books! For years and years to come, I will not find another student who can breathe as much life into that character.”

Coene has been involved in theater since she was eight years old.

“I knew from the moment I stepped on stage that this is what I wanted to do with my life,” she said.

She has done professional singing, acting and modeling throughout her life, and in addition to her studies at MacArthur High School, attends the Long Island High School for the Arts to pursue her passions.

Setting his sights on starting a career as an oncologist one day, Division Avenue High School senior Brandon Smith attended the 10-day National Student Leadership Conference in Washington, DC during the summer where he was enrolled in the medicine and health care program. Smith applied for the conference and was accepted, along with high school students from across the country and around the world. The conference allowed the students to experience a taste of college life while living on campus at American University and explore future careers while harnessing their leadership abilities.

As part of the medicine and health

care program, Smith had the opportunity to visit John Hopkins Hospital where he participated in clinical rounds, learned about anatomy and was handson, dissecting a cow eye and a sheep’s heart. He was also able to watch an open-heart surgery.

Levittown students explore college opportunities Upperclassman throughout the Levittown Public Schools are looking to a bright future as many recently attended their respective high school’s mini-college fair. Division Avenue High School and General Douglas MacArthur High School conduct these mini-college fairs each fall where representatives from various colleges and universities set up booths and answer questions that

the students may have as they explore their options for after graduation.

Sponsored by each high school’s guidance department, the students met with college representatives to learn more about their programs, activities, admission process, majors offered and financial aid and scholarship opportunities.

“Our college fairs are a wonderful

opportunity for students to network with admissions reps who will be reading their applications and learn important information about post-secondary options,” said MacArthur High School’s guidance chairperson Elizabeth Hammer.

Students were encouraged to ask questions and gather valuable handouts provided by each institution of higher learning.

“The college fair was a very positive and inviting experience,” said Leah Draluck, a junior at Division Avenue High School. “Since I have an interest in engineering, I learned about different engineering programs certain colleges have to offer.”

Both Division and MacArthur will hold a second mini-college fair at the end of the month.

Beyond Bingo: The Third Act of Our Lives

BY MARJORIE GOTTLIEB WOLFE This season there’s a new TV program titled, “The Cool Kids.” It stars Leslie Jordan, Vicki Lawrence, David Alan Grier and Martin Mull.

If you’ve enjoyed seeing the movies, “Cacoon,” “The Gin Game” and “The Best Exotic Magnolia Hotel,” this program will certainly make you laugh.

No doubt you’ve heard these retirement jokes: • A retired husband is often a wife’s full-time job.

• You’re probably retired if you and your teeth don’t sleep together.

• “Getting lucky” means you remember where you left your white Sonata at the Festival Flea Market Mall in Florida.

• You step off the curb and look down one more time to make sure the street is still there.

• The funny senior texting code “LOL” doesn’t mean “laughing out loud,” it means “Living On Lipitor.”

• I’m very good at opening childproof caps—with a hammer.

• I’m the life of the party—even if it lasts until 8 p.m.

“The Cool Kids” is a comedy about a

group of friends living in a retirement community named Shady Meadows.

That’s a much more pleasant name than “Aged Oaks,” “Rusty Years,” “Out With a Bang,” “Last Sunset Heights,” “Altacocker Acres” or “Ferklempt Estates.” (Thanks, Roz Warren!) And, there’s actually a development in So. Florida named, “Journey’s End.” What was the developer thinking?

A synopsis: The above-mentioned residents are willing to break every rule to have a good time. Hank is a gruff, opinionated 21st Century Archie Bunker. Charlie is a bumbling storyteller. He sometimes goes off on tangents about barely believable episodes from his life. Perhaps we’ll see a 2004 episode based on a Metropolitan Diary story by Tony & Sara Soll. n

Dear Diary: Sunday morning, Brooklyn Heights: Sara was in line at a bagel store on Montague Street. Ahead of her was a tall, well-dressed woman with a strong Midwestern accent. She was ordering her breakfast bagel and clearly didn’t want much cream cheese on it.

The Hispanic man behind the counter looked puzzled as the customer’s

nasal twang requested, “A sesame bagel with just a teensy, teensy, weeeeensy bit of low fat cream cheese, please.”

After saying several times in a strong Latino accent, “I don’t understand,” the counterman looked even more perplexed.

The woman mimed the universal finger and thumb sign for just a little bit as she repeated slowly and patiently, “A little, teensy bit of cream cheese.”

Suddenly, the man’s face lit up.

“Ah!” he said. “You want a schmeer!” n

Or, perhaps Charlie will share this story: Stephanie, an elderly woman, was telling her daughter, Joyce, about a date with a 90-year-old man.

“Believe it or not, I had to slap his face three times,” complained Stephanie with a smile.

“Do you mean that old man got fresh with you?” Joyce asked with disgust showing all over her face.

“Oh, no dear,”explained Stephanie.

“I had to keep slapping his face to keep him awake.” n

Sid, another resident, is a pill-popping hypochrondiac.

When he gets ill, will he attempt to get an appointment with the surgeon to the stars, Dr. Oz? Does he define “STD” as “Standing Till Dazed”—a Frank Cerabino word describing a condition that Disney patrons feel from spending too much time waiting in lines? And, will he quote Archie Bunker: “I’m suffering a little bit from smoke EXHILARATION.” “In her elastic stockings, next to her VERY CLOSE veins”?

“Shut the door well…we’re catchin’ AMMONIA.” “Sit there like you’re in a COMMA.” “I’m half PROSTATE in the heat.”

“My DIGITALIS clock is broken.”

“Tell ‘em we’re all DECREASED— we went last night in a suicide pact.”

And Margaret, a confident woman, forces her way into the group. Will we hear her use some old-time words like “Belly-aching,” “pill” (a person you can’t take), “Heavens to Betsy” and “fiddle-faddle?” Will she ask her accountant, “Debits still go on the left, right”? Will she complain that her mini-size stainless-steel refrigerator See page D6

Widows Have Questions About Social Security

BY TOM MARGENAU

Q: I was getting my own Social Security. Then my husband died and they started paying me his Social Security and took away my own. But why did they do that? Aren’t they two separate benefits and I deserve both?

A: The law says if you are due two different Social Security benefits, you don’t get them both. You only get the one that pays the higher rate. And if you think about it, the law makes sense. Without it, everyone in the country who is married or who has ever been married would get two full benefits -- their own and something from their spouse. So I would get my own Social Security check and I also would get a husband’s benefit on my wife’s account. And then she would get her own benefit and a wife’s benefit on my account. And then Warren Buffet would get his own retirement check and a husband’s benefit on his wife’s account. And Warren’s wife would get ... I think you see where I’m going with this. If the law allowed everyone to get every benefit he or she is due, the Social Security system would have gone belly up a long time ago.

And if it makes you feel any better, you are getting benefits from two accounts.

That’s because the rules say if you are due anything on your own record, you will be paid that first, and then get any extra benefits you might be due from your spouse. For example, let’s say your husband’s benefit was $2,000 per month and your own monthly retirement check was $1,600. When your husband died, you kept getting your own $1,600 and then you started getting an additional $400 from your husband’s account to take you up to his $2,000 rate. I know you just get one check for $2,000 per month and you understandably assume you are only getting a widow’s benefit. But again, on Social Security’s books, you are being paid on off of two records.

Q: I am my husband’s second wife.

He died about a year ago. I just turned 60 and started getting widow’s benefits. His first wife is also getting widow’s benefits on his record. When she dies, will my rate go up?

A: No it won’t. Any Social Security money paid to an ex-wife is just add-on benefit. It takes nothing away from anything you are due on your husband’s account. So if she dies before you do, nothing will change.

Q: My husband died about six months ago. He was 78. I am 74. I was a stay-at-home mom throughout our marriage. So I don’t have my own Social Security. I was getting a spousal benefit on his record before he died. And after his death, I started getting widow’s benefits. I have read in some of your past columns that when a husband dies, the widow gets what her husband got at the time of death. But I started getting a little

more. He got $1,368 when he died.

And I am now getting $1,505. Should I be worried that they are paying me too much money and will someday ask for it back?

A: Don’t worry. I’m sure you are being paid correctly. And I think I know why you are getting a higher rate than your husband was getting before he died.

You were right when you quoted me as saying that a woman over age 66 starts getting a widow’s benefit that equals what her husband was getting at the time of death. But I should have added a qualifier: I should have said she gets that “as a general rule.”

And you are an exception to that rule.

Here is why. Even though you didn’t say, I bet your husband started taking his Social Security at age 62. That meant he was getting an amount equal to 75 percent of his full retirement benefit. And that would normally be your widow’s rate.

But there is a rule that says a widow over age 62 is guaranteed to get at least 82.5 percent of her husband’s full benefit. So that’s why you are getting a little more than your husband.

Q: My husband died about 25 years ago. At the time, I was in my 40s with two small children. They got monthly survivors benefits and for a while, I was getting a check, too. Those benefits stopped many years ago. Now I am about to turn 66. I’m still working and plan to keep working as long as I can. I never remarried. A friend at work told me that because I got widow’s benefits all those years ago, that I have used up any money I am due on his record and can only rely on my Social Security. Is this true?

A: Nope. Your friend is wrong. You can never “use up” money from any Social Security account. In fact, you should get ready to employ the widow’s maximizing option. Here’s how that works. When you turn 66, you should apply for widow’s benefits. You will get 100 percent of your husband’s current Social Security rate. In other words, it will be updated for inflation so you won’t be getting the smaller benefit you were getting a quarter-century ago. Even though you are working, because you will be over age 66, you are due full widow’s benefits with no reduction because of your earnings.

Then when you turn 70, you should switch to your own retirement benefits.

At that age, you will get 132 percent of your full retirement rate.

Q: I’m 80 years old. How come when my husband died last year all I got was the little $255 burial check while all my other widow friends are getting monthly benefits from their dead husband’s account?

A: You didn’t give me enough information to fully answer your question.

But I’m guessing that you are getting your own Social Security retirement benefit and that it exceeds what you are

due as a widow. I can’t imagine that of all your friends, you are the only one who worked and earned her own Social Security check. I will bet that more than a few of those friends of yours are also getting their own Social Security retirement

check and are not being paid the widow’s benefits they claim to be getting.

If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has the answer. Contact him at thomas.margenau@comcast.net.

Beyond Bingo: The Third Act of Our Lives C ontinued from page D3

isn’t magnetic? (She can’t show off her grandchildrens’ artwork!) Will she ask the chef at Shady Meadows to please serve Ben & Jerry’s ice cream flavor called “Bernard Malamint”?

Will she pronounce Salvation Army

as “SALIVATION Army”? And does she know better than to ask, “Did she RSBVD ja?”

And so, what unites the residents at the fictitious Shady Meadows? Are they angry at this sign posted at a local store: NO SENIOR CITIZEN DISCOUNTS. You have had twice as long to get the

money.

No.! According to fox.com, “they are determined to make the third act of their lives the craziest one yet.” The 3 R’s, a Kevin P. Jackson term, may just mean Reassessed Life, Readjusted Priorities, and RETIRED HAPPY.

MARJORIE GOTTLIEB WOLFE is a guest lecturer at several Long Island and So. Florida retirement communities and senior residences. She agrees with Chris and Susan Beesley, “Age is but a number and who wants to be good at numbers unless you’re an accountant.”

Halloween Happenings, Oktoberfest Take Center Stage in Fall Festivals C ontinued from page D5 Activities include three different supernatural settings including an intuitive development class with Spirit Flow’s Amanda Jackiewicz at 5 p.m., which will teach participants how to strengthen their intuition and heighten their awareness and conscientiousness.

Following the workshop, Jackiewicz will conduct a limited amount of individual medium sessions from 6-7:30 p.m.

During these sessions, guests will work one-on-one with Jackiewicz to communicate with loved ones in the afterlife. For the final portion of the supernatural event, attendees will participate in a ghost hunt with the R.E.A.P. Investigation team led by Bill Reap beginning at 8 p.m. R.E.A.P. Investigations will hunt for ghostly activities throughout four areas of the hotel, including the Calvert Ballroom

and the 19th floor, which are said to have heightened supernatural activities. At 10 p.m., the Lord Baltimore Hotel will join a live feed with more than 100 other locations as each conduct a ghost hunt at the same time.

Perhaps participants will get a glimpse of Lord Baltimore’s resident ghost: a little girl, wearing a long, cream-colored dress and black, shiny shoes, running by the open doorway, bouncing a red ball before her. There have been many times when guests have asked, “Little girl, are you lost?” and the hallway has been completely empty.

Event proceeds will be donated to Back on my Feet, an organization that helps to combat homelessness through the power of running and community support.

Tickets ($20-50 pp) can be purchased through Eventbrite at: https://www.

Lord Baltimore Hotel is also offering a discounted guest room rate for National Ghost Hunt Day participants.

Reservations can be made online through https:// reservations.travelclick. com/85390?groupID=2360767#/ guestsandrooms.

Held on the last Saturday of each September, National Ghost Hunt Day serves to enthusiastically commence the start of each new Halloween season. Its noble intention is to globally observe the most haunted properties in the world while recognizing the novice, curious, experts and professionals that investigate paranormal activity in these iconic locations! For more information, visit http://nationalghosthuntingday. com.

The Lord Baltimore Hotel is in the heart of downtown Baltimore, within walking distance of many local attractions. Originally built in 1928, the hotel was purchased in 2013 and completely renovated by Rubell Hotels.

A member of Historic Hotels of America (historichotels.org), the official program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the Lord Baltimore is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (20 W. Baltimore Street, Baltimore, MD, 21201 www. lordbaltimorehotel.com).

But what may be the most haunted of Historic Hotels of America members is 1886 Crescent Hotel & Spa, in Eureka Springs Arkansas: “Guests who check out but never leave” at the 1886 Crescent Hotel and Spa include Michael, the Irish stonemason who helped build the hotel in 1885; Theodora, a patient of Baker’s Cancer Curing Hospital in the late 1930s; and “the lady in the Victorian nightgown”, who likes to stand at the foot of the bed in Room 3500 and stare at guests while they sleep. These are

only three of the dozens upon dozens of spirits that guests and visitors have reported encountering in this historic hotel in the Ozark Mountains.

This mountaintop spa resort, which has also become known as “America’s Most Haunted Hotel” and has been featured on popular shows like Ghost Hunter’s and Bio Channel’s My Ghost Story offers nightly tours that gain exclusive access to some of the most famous ghost sighting locations (recommended for 8 years and up; families with younger children should join the earliest tour.) And on October, 31, you can join a Halloween Séance.

For more haunted historic hotels, visit historichotels.org.

Also in Eureka Springs, the 1905 Basin Park Hotel, which features a mysterious underground cave, offers a 90-minute Spirits of the Basin “ghost adventour” that combines a ghost tour with the adventure of paranormal investigation. It starts with a guided ghost hunt (in period costume) of the most haunted spaces and ends with a chilling ghost story told by candlelight and a sample of the bootleg liquor (http://www.spiritsofthebasin. com/) Oktoberfest Weekend Celebrations Return to Hunter Mountain Temperatures in the northeast have begun to trend cooler, and as the leaves begin to change, Hunter Mountain is hosting its long tradition of Oktoberfest celebrations.

Voted among the top 10 Best Oktoberfests in the Nation by USA Today, Hunter Mountain’s Oktoberfest weekends celebrate the arrival of autumn with authentic traditional German-American festivities, food and culture with a variety of entertainment options during all four free weekends.

Oktoberfest weekends also occur in conjunction with specialty events alongside plentiful food and craft

D7

beverages, live music, artistic vendors, lawn games, our Scenic Skyride and much more.

The Colors in the Catskills: OffRoad Edition is a new arrival for our second weekend of Oktoberfest (Sept.

29 & 30) and allows guests to explore Hunter Mountain’s vast trail network in the midst of fall foliage season. Lead by knowledgeable and experienced guides from Northeast Off-Road Adventures, guests can register their 4X4 vehicles to participate in off-road tours of Hunter Mountain. Additionally, drivers and passengers alike will be able to purchase exclusive camping packages that grant them access to camping right on the Mountain.

The Das Laufwerk Eurocar Rally and 18-time Grammy award winner Jimmy Sturr return to Hunter Mountain for the third weekend of Oktoberfest (Oct. 6 & 7) to rock the stage and showcase some of best European cars our guests have to offer. The Das Laufwerk Eurocar Rally is open to guests and completely free to attend! All European car models are welcome and will have access to exclusive parking in a reserved lot located close to the Hunter Mountain base lodge. Guests

attending this weekend of Oktoberfest will have a chance to see the finest in German engineering including Audis, Volkswagens, Porsches and much more The final weekend of Oktoberfest (Oct. 13 and 14) will celebrate wineries from around New York State with our Wine Tasting on the Mountain event. This year’s wine tasting event will host wineries from Long Island to the Finger Lakes.

Similarly to our Ciders in the Catskills event, guests will be able to purchase VIP tasting packages which provide them with a voucher for 20 wine tastings, a commemorative wine glass and t-shirt as well as admission for one to our Scenic Skyride.

Admission to Oktoberfest is free and gates open each weekend at 11 am – 6:15 pm Saturdays and from 11 am– 5:15 pm Sundays. All four Oktoberfest weekends are held indoors and outdoors, rain or shine.

Located in the heart of the Great Northern Catskills, Hunter Mountain is a four-season resort. Throughout the spring, summer and fall, Hunter Mountain offers a variety of outdoor activities, weddings, group retreats, festivals and concerts while surrounded

by magnificent views of the Catskill Mountains. The 3,200’ summit of Hunter Mountain provides panoramic views of the surrounding landscape and is accessible from May – October via the Scenic Skyride. An easy 2 ½ hour ride North of New York City, Hunter Mountain can be a day trip or overnight getaway for sightseeing, relaxation, hiking, fly fishing, zip lining and much more.

Hunter Mountain abuts the Catskills Preserve with spectacular hiking. Follow the Hudson River School Art Trail (my favorite trails are in the North-South Campground and Kaaterskill Falls).

Culinary students embrace the farm-to-table approach

From left: Culinary arts students and Levittown seniors Allison Breisacher (MacArthur High School), Tiffanie Ferrara (Division Avenue High School) and Trevor Williams (Division Avenue High School) picked basil for their recipe.

Students in the culinary arts program at the Gerald R. Claps Career and Technical Center recently began learning about the importance of knowing where their food comes from. While the weather is still warm, new instructor Chef Lauren Reganato and her students visited the Levittown Memorial Education Center’s green house to learn more about growing their own fruits and vegetables while incorporating the garden into their unit about different herbs.

With communities becoming more

mindful of food sources, it has become more important for future chefs to know and understand all they can about the ingredients used in recipes. In class, students have plated lettuce seeds and pulled weeds. They also recently prepared a luncheon where they cut Swiss chard, clipped herbs and picked eggplants and peppers.

“Even if we go out for ten minutes, they really love the space,” said Chef Reganato. “They have mentioned how nice it is to get fresh air and they love

Culinary arts students at the Gerald R. Claps Career and Technical Center prepared to make a delicious meal from what they picked in Levittown Memorial Education Center’s green house. the gratification of pulling the weeds!”

Throughout the school year, students that are enrolled in the two-year culinary arts course at the Gerald R. Claps Career and Technical Center learn the fundamentals of cooking, baking and wait staff/hospitality. There is also a focus on culinary menu planning, food science and health and safety procedures. Furthering their knowledge of the hospitality industry, the program

has implemented an iPad point of sale system where students learn employment-ready skills for wait staff/hospitality service. The students practice skills on a daily basis in the school’s modern commercial kitchen/bakery and can earn the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation's five-year ServSafe certification.

Outstanding science teacher earns educator award Long-time Division Avenue High School science teacher Jeff Miller was recently selected as a recipient of the University of Chicago’s Outstanding Educator Award. Each year, the University of Chicago chooses educators for the award based on incoming first year student nominations of those who have made a strong impact on their intellectual growth.

Dylan Chase, a member of Division Avenue High School’s Class of 2018 and a first-year student at the University of Chicago, nominated Mr. Miller for his commitment to educating students year

after year. Mr. Miller has been teaching at Division Avenue High School for 25 years and currently teaches physics.

In his nomination letter, Chase thanked Mr. Miller for being his inspiration. “I want to thank you for personally inspiring me to want to pursue a career in physics and for being such a close ally as I navigated through my high school career,” he said.

Mr. Miller was touched by the award.

“It’s very nice to be recognized,” he said.

“I am fortunate to have such wonderful students year after year who constantly inspire me. I love what I do each day.”

Our next story... you!

Rob’s Run will once again be staged under the direction of veteran race administrators Sue Fitzpatrick and Jim Murray, who are hard at work putting together the pieces of this individual and team competition that continues to be Long Island’s premier cross country event.... and a perfect way to enjoy the beauties of Stillwell Woods.

There will once again be separate men’s and women’s starts. The women will start promptly at 9:00AM and the men will start promptly at 9:30AM.

running. Try it; you will definitely like it!

Entry fees are $26 for those who preregister and $30 for those who wait until the day of the Run to sign up. There is a 50% discount for high school and younger runners who preregister. Teams of four can preregister for $104 pre-race and $130
