JERICHO HS PEP RALLY

Calls for peace, love and learning as high Holy Days begin

BY RIKKI MASSAND

Jericho High School’s recent Pep Rally boosted school spirit as it showcased the fall sports teams. Above, the girls soccer team was ready to play on homecoming weekend. See page 17.

Town eliminates repair permit fee The Town Board of the Town of Oyster Bay on September 18 unanimously approved the elimination of sidewalk repair permit fees for homeowners. In addition to the cost of actual repair, property owners previously paid the Town of Oyster Bay a permitting fee of $100 per 100 linear feet.

The permitting fee will no longer be collected.

Councilman Labriola stated, “We recognize that

sidewalk maintenance provides significant benefits to the community while maintaining a safe and useable infrastructure throughout our communities. To remove barriers and financial burdens placed on property owners, the Town Board voted unanimously to eliminate the permit fee related to repairing damaged residential sidewalks.

This fee waiver will help enhance the quality of our

communities through proper sidewalk maintenance while no longer burdening residents.”

The law approved by the Town Board still requires a permit for work but waives fees if the applicant is an individual who owns or resides at the residential premises for which a permit for the construction or repair of sidewalks is being sought.

Eleven months after the mass shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh that claimed the lives of 11 people and injured several more, including responding police officers, a local Syosset Jewish congregation and elected officials are renewing their calls for peace, public safety and cultural learning opportunities for youth across Long Island’s diverse North Shore communities and the nation.

Monday, September 30 marks the start of Rosh Hashana; Yom Kippur is the following week on October 9 and this year Sukkot is from October 14 through 20. Residents and faith leaders have remained vigilant since the incidents of swastikas and gang-related graffiti spray-painted on public places, including at Syosset High School in August of 2017 and just this August in Oyster Bay, with seven swastikas painted at Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park pavilion.

Last week the NYPD announced increased police presence and patrolling of areas with synagogues, schools and community centers, citing a statistic: Through the first three-quarters of 2019, New Yark City has seen a 63% increase in anti-Semitic hate crimes around the five boroughs.

In Syosset, Rabbi Jay Weinstein leads Congregation Simchat HaLev.

He is the chair of the Interfaith Clergy Council of Syosset and Woodbury, a coalition that has worked hard to embrace diversity and maintain an open dialogue between leaders, congregants and youth from different faiths. The group consists of rabbis, imams, Christian priests and other faith leaders.

“We have strived to offer programming in diversity and multicultural interactions. In this time of year and in general, we all hope for heightened awareness and heightened security at area mosques, churches and synagogues as we have seen the tragedies happen all over the world. We have been very concerned about sightings of swastikas at Syosset High School and Theodore Roosevelt Park. After the most recent incident at Roosevelt Park, we held a Shabbat service that evening at the site. Yes we are cautious but we are showing the world we are not afraid -- we will not let those anti-Semitic beliefs stop us from practicing faith traditions,” Weinstein explained.

Syosset native, former board of education trustee and current Nassau County Legislator Joshua Lafazan provided the following comments for the Advance and News Journal this week: “As Rosh Hashanah is upon us, Jews across the world are coming See page 12

Wine tasting in Woodbury this Saturday On Saturday, September 28, residents and members of the booming business community in Woodbury can stop into Woodbury Wine Cellar at 7973 Jericho Turnpike between 2 and 6 p.m. for the Grand Portfolio experience, “Wines from Around the World.”

Woodbury Wine Cellar is located next to Starbucks in the Woodbury Village plaza, alongside Scout & Molly’s Boutique and Iavarone Brothers and around the corner from Naot Footwear. The Wine Cellar has been in business for 10 years. Owner Radhika Khanna has recently joined as a member of the Syosset Woodbury Chamber of Commerce.

“We’re really happy in Woodbury.

People who shop here are very nice, they care about our small businesses. This shopping center is also so unique among Long Island shopping centers, with stores offering great quality and variety. We carry wine from small vineyards and boutique

products that are ‘the right price’ wines, unique bottles that overdeliver in value. The wines we offer often become that piece of conversation for a dinner party or event,” Khanna said in an interview on September 19.

At the Tasting this Saturday, eight vendors are set to offer wine tastings, pairings with food and details on their wine-making processes. “Each of our vendors will bring over at least 4 or 5 wines. During tastings, they will explain and offer samples of wines and products, and people can stop in to us for hors d'oeuvres,” Khanna said.

Woodbury Wine Cellar offers more than an eclectic variety of wines.

Khanna says the market for wine and liquor along Long Island’s North Shore communities, and in other New York City suburbs, has trended towards tequilas and bourbons in recent years. Customers are enjoying the selections at the local small business, which carries plenty of labels

they may not find elsewhere.

“Tequilas and bourbon products are on fire right now. Everyone really loves these, and to satisfy the market we have brought in bourbons from upstate New York distilleries.

We also have bourbon from all across the nation -- we also bring in varieties of whiskey. What we always here from people that they have never a selection of bourbons and tequilas like we carry in-store,” she said.

Word has spread about the Woodbury Wine Cellar’s great offerings. With 50 people in attendance at the September 19 Chamber of Commerce meeting, Chamber President Charo Ezdrin announced the special wine tasting event “where you can sample over 30 exquisite wines.”

Khanna said annual Chamber membership will help promote her store and reach new customers. In the past she’s supported Chamber events, but now as an official mem-

ber she plans to network and collaborate with area professionals.

The new specialist at Woodbury Wine Cellar is Antonio “Tony” Dela Cruz, who has 32 years of experience in the wine business, having worked in Garden City Park for two decades and most recently at Stew Leonard’s in East Meadow.

Tony is really knowledgeable about the wine market and other specialty products, from gin to rye.

Every customer or merchant that knows him has had good things to say about him,” Khanna said.

The Woodbury Wine Cellar event marks the successful conclusion of two fierce and festive weeks for Chamber of Commerce activities, with the well-attended Syosset Street Fair on September 15, grand openings and ribbon-cuttings at SuperSlow Zone wellness center in Woodbury on September 23 and at GrabSuite offices on Tuesday, September 24.

Record attendance at Syosset Street Fair

BY RIKKI MASSAND

Last week, the Syosset Woodbury Chamber of Commerce reflected on record attendance, with up to 8,000 people visiting the September 15 Syosset Street Fair on Jackson Avenue/Cold Spring Road, taking time to thank the dedicated volunteers, organizers, and its leadership.

Alan Goldberg is president of Water Solutions of Long Island, which provides bottleless water coolers to offices on Long Island, and director of Business Development for CardWorks Merchant Services. He served as the chairman of the Street Fair Committee for 2019. In this role he worked with dedicated volunteers from the local business community for over nine months as they planned the exciting day for downtown Syosset.

“Street Fair really was a fantastic success. We started the process of organizing it in January with getting the showmobile permit from the Town of Oyster Bay, the certificates of insurance and a lot of planning. We had 98% of the project work done before the day of Street Fair and we figured the rest out,” he said.

After the September 2018 Street Fair the Chamber distributed a survey in the community and among area businesses. Top requests for the 2019 event were more kid-friendly and engaging activities, plus more food options. Over 120 vendors participated with booths, displays, games and giveaways. The Syosset Woodbury Chamber worked with promoter Alan Finchley of Nassau County Craft Shows to spread the word.

In the days following Street Fair, the Chamber was receiving feedback and posting pictures from the day, and editing images and drone video taken from overhead at Street Fair.

“I have heard much positive feedback from our Chamber board members and people who attended Street Fair, from sponsors as well as vendors, about the super turnout, tons of business leads given to people and our food trucks were really popular,” he announced at the Chamber’s September 19 general meeting, held inside Eye & Vision Care Associates at 140 Jackson Avenue.

In 2018, Goldberg was Syosset Woodbury Chamber’s honoree as The Nassau Council of Chambers of Commerce Businessperson of the Year. Last week, he addressed the record day for the business community and Syosset/Woodbury as a whole.

“This year’s Street Fair was double the size of our 2018 event. We achieved all our Chamber goals for participation and revenues. We saw double the number of people we expected, just over 4,000 were anticipated

Syosset Woodbury Chamber of Commerce President Charo Ezdrin presented a commemorative plaque to Chamber Director and Street Fair Committee Chairman Alan Goldberg, president of Water Solutions of Long Island earlier in the process,” he told the Advance and NewsJournal.

Charo Ezdrin, president of the Syosset Woodbury Chamber of Commerce since 2017, reflected on the massive turnout and fun day had by all at the 2019 Syosset Street Fair, thanking Goldberg and all Chamber volunteers.

“I welcome all our new and existing members, and please join us in a big Thank You and congratulations to Alan Goldberg and the entire Street Fair Committee for the massive success of our event September 15. It was a huge success for the Chamber financially and everyone is speaking about us,” she said, The Chamber turns the page to more local events very quickly, hosting two grand openings on Monday and Tuesday this week. Ezdrin spoke about each opportunity as she, Goldberg and Chamber directors welcomed 50 attendees to the September monthly meeting. First, she surprised Goldberg with a gift of appreciation.

Marking his contributions to the Chamber and to Syosset, the following was inscribed on a cus-

tom-made plaque presented last Thursday: “To you Alan Goldberg from all of us, in recognition of your fine leadership and extraordinary determination for the Syosset Street Fair, September 15, 2019.”

“Alan and every volunteer did such an amazing job, everyone I speak to says they gained a whole list of leads for business -- people who were not even Chamber members bought booths, many local politicians were there. If we weren’t on the map already we are definitely on it now -- Alan you did it!! Everybody could not even believe how great our Street Fair was,” Ezdrin said.

In turn, Goldberg honored Chamber Street Fair Committee members with honors, starting with Victoria Weitgenant, director of admissions and outreach at Fusion Academy of Woodbury, who was responsible for Street Fair entertainment and coordination with Monica Rubin at the School of Rock, for “an excellent job in acquiring entertainment, setting up the stage, and management.”

Goldberg thanked balloon artist and entertainer Amanda Johnson, who was an integral part of the Street Fair Committee, “stepping up at the finish line” with her supervision of “spin-the-wheel” at the Chamber’s booth. He praised Tricia Shannon of Douglas Elliman’s Syosset office for her efforts in coordinating the Chamber Booth, scheduling and personnel.

For the Street Fair Mike Palazzolo, owner of Island Signs & Graphics served as right-hand man to Goldberg, and was presented with honors “for being there to keep things on track and assisting us for the entire length of the project,” Goldberg said.

Other 2019 Street Fair Committee members included Woodbury resident and Chamber Vice President Maureen Nickel, owner of BrightStar Home Care; Russell Green of RPG Wealth Management; former Chamber president Ken Robinson, Patti Santella and Liz Barcia of Douglas Elliman, Ed Eckstein of Prudential Advisors, Jose Viera of NAOT Footwear, Steve Goodkin of SuperSlow Zone wellness center in Woodbury, Chamber director Bruce Weller of Eagle Eye Home Inspections, Sherri Gillespi of M.R.G. Marketing Corp., Geffen Rodik of Men on the Move and MaryBeth Heinicke of Cold Spring Hills Center for Nursing & Rehabilitation.

Also honored last week was administrator for the Syosset Woodbury Chamber of Commerce Felice Linder, for her “dedication to tasks at hand, graphics skills, perfectionism and putting up with my demanding self,” Goldberg kidded as he welcomed her in front of the September 19 meeting attendees.

Plainview-Old Bethpage John F. Kennedy High School cheerleaders receive lessons in CPR training at the American Heart Association’s Long Island Walk.

The Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District (POBCSD) has accepted the challenge to help fight heart disease and stroke. District members recently participated in the American Heart Association’s (AHA) Long Island Heart Walk. Students, parents, board members, and administration participated to raise approximately $1,500 to benefit the research and prevention of heart disease across Long Island.

The effort was a districtwide initiative put in place by POBCSD’s Parent-Teacher Association, school administrators, local community and Superintendent and AHA board member Dr. Lorna R. Lewis. “As a District, we are committed to supporting our

community in any way that we can,” said Dr. Lewis. “The American Heart Association has worked for decades to research and fight heart disease across Long Island and our nation, and we are proud to support this worthy cause.”

The non-competitive, 3-mile walk took place at Jones Beach in Wantagh.

In total, Long Island participants raised approximately 70 percent of the AHA’s $650,000 goal for the region. POBJFKHS Honor Society members and cheerleaders greeted participants near the starting line and cheered on the team. Team Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District also received basic CPR training following the walk.

Jericho student wins national award

Pictured (left to right) are Norm Conard, executive director of the Lowell Milken Center for Unsung Heroes; Jericho Middle School librarian Valerie Conklin, teacher Christina Becker, student winner Michelle Dong, teacher Konstantine Kovoros, teacher Theresa Cantwell, Middle School Principal Dr. Don Gatley and Curriculum Associate for Social Studies, Business and Libraries Dr. Eric Sundberg. Photo by Denise Nash Michelle Dong, a student at Jericho High School, won $6,000 in the Lowell Milken Center for Unsung Heroes 2019 Discovery Award competition. The competition is designed to have kids come up with creative research projects to learn about and share the stories of positive role models — hence the “Unsung Heroes” title — who played a significant role in history but aren’t household names.

Dong’s project, “Caroline Ferriday and the Ravensbruck Lapins,” is a website-based project that reveals the incredible story of philanthropist Caroline Ferriday and was created as part of her National History Day project last year while in eighth grade.

In 1958, Caroline rallied American support to bring a group of Polish survivors from the Ravensbruck Concentration Camp to America for rehabilitation. The Nazis had used these women as test subjects to perform

inhumane medical experiments, leaving them crippled and causing them to hop around the camp. The Nazis began referring to the women as “lapins,” or rabbits, because of this. Caroline’s efforts not only uncovered these tragedies, but she also helped to obtain financial compensation for the Lapins from the West German Government.

Norm Conard, the organization's executive director, presented Dong with the $6,000 grand prize during a special assembly at the middle school.

“Michelle told Caroline Ferriday's fascinating story by using in-depth research skills and multi-media resources, then presented it in a very thorough and organized website," said Conard. "Each Discovery Award recipient uncovered an Unsung Hero whose contributions deserve to be recognized.

We congratulate these wonderful students and their teachers.”

Calls for peace, love and learning as Holy Days begin From page 1 together to wish for a Sweet New Year for all of humanity. Almost one year since the Pittsburgh massacre, and in the wake of devastating violence in El Paso, Dayton, and cities across the nation, Rosh Hashanah symbolizes a time to reflect on the globe in which we live, and the world in which we hope to foster.”

“Only when love and acceptance triumph over hate and bigotry can we truly say that we are leaving behind a better world for our kids than the one we found. On behalf of our Jewish community, we wish you and your families peace, happiness, health, and prosperity. L’shana tova,” he said.

Rabbi Jay echoed these sentiments and explained that the arrival of High Holy Days marks a time of renewal for all mankind, “to be closer to the One, whatever a person calls the One, and recharge, ask for forgiveness and begin again.”

“This is a period of teshuvah (repentance) and asking for forgiveness. We hope and pray those who did the spraypaint swastikas or have bullied others will find it in their hearts to be open and to accept forgiveness, and to work towards healing,” he said.

On Monday September 23, County Legislator Arnold Drucker offered the

following message to area residents about the arrival of Jewish holidays and a time of healing.

“In America and throughout the world, a disturbing resurgence of hatred - and in particular, anti-Semitism - is a source of grave concern.

As we approach the Jewish holidays, I urge people to learn more about diverse faiths and cultures that are not their own - in many cases, what we fear is what we do not know. Once we gain that knowledge, we will become better prepared to do our duty to always speak up to denounce bigotry and ignorance wherever we face it,” he said.

Weinstein praised Nassau County Legislators Lafazan and Drucker for their support of the congregation and its programs of outreach in Syosset, Woodbury and neighboring areas. He’s also a member of the Faith Advisory Leadership group spearheaded by the Office of Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas, working with faith organizations and clergy across the county.

“Our elected officials, all the way up to District Attorney Singas and County Executive Laura Curran have been wonderful in supporting the clergy and people of all faiths living in Nassau County,” he said.

Community-oriented Charitable Efforts In remembrance of the one-year anniversary of the Tree of Life Synagogue shooting (October 27, 2018) on Sunday, November 3, the Mid-Island Y JCC at 45 Manetto Hill Road in Plainview is partnering with Congregation Simchat HaLev to host a community-building program for “Humanity vs. Hunger” through The Pack Shack, a volunteer program that has organized 31.6 million meals for those in need across 40 states, with efforts from over 160,000 volunteers.

The Mid-Island Y JCC is offering their space for this effort in Nassau County. Rabbi Jay says the community event will aim to pack over 80,000 meals to provide needy Long Islanders with nourishment. (More information is available at ThePackShack.org).

According to Weinstein, the aspects of working together on meal-packing will help promote unity and love among participants, “be open, help others, and embrace the world with love.”

“We all need to do some soul-searching and see how we can work together to spread more love in the world. Our mission with Congregation Simchat HaLev as a local spiritual organization is that we are ‘fueled by love.’ It is my belief that we can all practice a religion of love. In the Torah it says ‘Love your neighbor as your own self, and the world would be a better place to be in.

We would not be seeing so much pain and suffering if humans were able to look at one another and find the spark of God, or the spark of the One, in each of us,” he said.

One concerted effort of the Interfaith Clergy Council is the Teen Initiative program for kids from local middle schools and high schools introducing students to settings and traditions in a synagogue, churches and mosques.

Initially there was an awareness program sponsored for students from grades 9 through 12 at SHS. Now that has expanded to welcome kids in 7th through 12th grades to meet others and learn about different faiths.

“We’ve brought kids together to learn and celebrate tolerance and diversity. All three groups came together to each location. During Ramadan we visited a mosque; we went to the Jewish synagogue during Sukkot and we went to a church during Christmas. They did team-building activities, listened to faith history and met congregants. This served as a platform to learn about each other’s similarities and to learn about each other’s holidays,” Rabbi Jay said. At the conclusion the Clergy Council hosted a game night for the teens and tweens, supporting the friendships forged.

“From our synagogue, students who

may have sat on a bus with kids in the same Syosset schools they attended, from Muslim and Christians to Jewish families, finally got to know each other.

We hope to get more parents involved because we find that most often values begin with one’s parents. We must continue to work with parents because in several instances there has been a lack of knowledge involved with bias, and prejudging of other cultures or religions that was nonfactual, inaccurate,” he explained.

Dr. Uzma Syed is a Syosset native and active member of the Interfaith Council of Syosset and Woodbury. She helped organize the first Interfaith Iftar at Islamic Center of Long Island (ICLI) hosting 80 teens who learned about classmates’ and neighbors’ traditions, “all while breaking bread together. She noted the program’s continuance for Sukkot and Christmas.

“As someone who has grown up in Syosset and now raising my own family there, I have always valued the diversity of our area. We celebrate each other heritages, races, cultures and religions.

From attending bar and bat mitzvahs to share the holiday joy around Christmas time and inviting my friends to break the fast during Ramadan by having iftar with my family, I have lived in an inclusive and welcoming society. Interfaith initiatives bring teens together and show them how much they have in common and celebrate all their traditions.”

“Over recent years, with the horrific incidents of hate that have occured in our areas and schools, leaders came together to help spread peace at a time of so much hate. We hope that teens will learn to spread peace, acceptance and tolerance so that we have no more acts of hate or terror committed against any one specific group,” Dr. Syed told the Advance and News-Journal.

More community-oriented participation and outreach is on the horizon for Rabbi Jay and his colleagues. A week before the record-setting Syosset Woodbury Chamber of Chamber’s 2019 Street Fair on September 15, Congregation Simchat HaLev, with headquarters at 421 Split Rock Road in Syosset, joined as a nonprofit member of the chamber.

Unraveling the Maze of Marrakesh’s Old City Before Tackling the Global Scavenger Hunt 4-Country Challenge

BY KAREN RUBIN TRAVEL FEATURES SYNDICATE GOINGPLACESFARANDNEAR.COM Bill Chalmers, the “ringmaster” and CEO (Chief Experience Officer) of the Global Scavenger Hunt, launches us our biggest, most ambitious and difficult leg of the 23-day, around-the-world mystery tour: a Par 6, in which our challenge is to get from Marrakesh through four countries – Morocco, Gibraltar, Spain and Portugal with scavenges in each to win points – in five days, meeting at 11:30 am in Porto, Portugal, when we will fly out to New York, our final destination and the final and decisive leg of the competition to be crowned “World’s Best Traveler”.

“Now for your final exam, when all the skills you have learned come together while your situational awareness is peaking and the Travel IQ ready for action,” Chalmers tells us as we gather together in the lobby of the Savoy Le Grand in Marrakesh, Morocco. “The Big multi-country adventure of the Par 6 North Africa/Iberian Peninsula leg.

“There are over 150 scavenges with 19 Bonuses, 3 Team Challenges and a whole lotta good eating; six exciting days of buses, trains, ferries, camels, trams, bikes and funiculars; four diverse country stops over 1,400 km (870 miles) lay between here in Marrakesh and there in Porto. Oh yea, did I mention May Day!?”

Teams are handled $300 to cover their bestguess transportation costs and told we are required to secure our own lodgings for three nights (we are given an allowance of $200 per team per night) “all depending on your risk/

reward course of action. We will see you Friday at 11:30AM in the lobby of our Porto, Portugal hotel.

Good luck to everyone, be safe, be smart.”

Chalmers allows these rule changes for this climatic leg: 1) Teaming up allowed, but only in Morocco!

2) Car rentals allowed, but only once, and only within one single country where the rental must be both picked-up & returned.

3) Use of smartphones allowed.

4) Airbnb & Uber allowed.

There are some 150 scavenges in this leg (a challenge is to figure which ones to do for points and logistics), including mandatory ones like #51 (“Within the bowels of Fes el-Bali, visit the Baab Bou Jeloud gate”). It is also mandatory to complete at least one scavenge in all four primary countries: Morocco, Gibraltar, Spain and Portugal. Other mandatory challenges have to do with eating, since food is such a window to culture and tradition, and also brings people together.

There are scavenges that earn bonuses. In Morocco: either camp out in the desert one night or stay in traditional riad; venture to the Atlas mountains to visit Berber villages, Ait Souka/ Kasbah Dutoubkal, or Aghmat/Oureka; visit the blue city of Chefchaouen; visit Volubilis to see something old & Roman; visit nearby sacred village Moulay Idriss.

to Marrakesh’s Old City - at midnight local time, about 2 am for us having come from Athens. Bill recognizes the need for a break so essentially gives us the morning off, so we can meet at 11:30 am in the lobby to launch us on the challenge he has termed “our final exam.”

The hotel is garish but actually quite nice, still Bill actually apologizes that he couldn’t get us into something more “authentic”. Because of the wedding between British actor Idris Elba and model Sabrina Dhowre (former Miss Vancouver), they had to look over 50

properties before they could get us into Savoy Le Grand Hotel for two nights.

My teammate, Margo, and I are not competing so have the advantage of being able to get advice from the concierge and use hotels.com to book hotels in the places we want to overnight.

Even so, it takes from noon to about 5:30 pm to work out an outline for how we will cover the distance – set up the first train ticket from Marrakesh to Fez (we give the concierge the money to buy the ticket) and book hotels in Fez and Gibraltar (another team has gotten names for a traditional riad in Fez and a hotel in Gibraltar which three teams

decide to book).

Margo decides to spend an extra day in Porto, Portugal, but I set my sights on Seville, and organize a hotel there and a flight from Seville to Porto (which wouldn’t be allowed if I were competing), so we will travel together from Marrakesh to Fez to Gibraltar and then travel independently until Porto (if we were competing, we would have to do everything as a team).

By 5:30 pm, I still haven’t figured out how to get from Fez to Gibraltar and Gibraltar to Seville, but I am frustrated and angry not actually seeing Marrakesh, and drop everything so we go into the Old City. The other two teams which are following much the same itinerary are content to just wing it once we get to Fez. Right at the gate to the old city is the famous, five-star La Mamounia Palace hotel – a hotel since 1923, but with a history that extends back to the 12th

Founded in 1062, Marrakesh was once the capital of a vast trading empire that stretched from Toledo to Senegal.

You get a sense of this at Marrakesh’s main square, Jemaa el Fna, which I learn, was once a medieval trading square where public executions took place (why it is called the Assembly of the Dead).

As soon as we enter the massive square, there is a cacophony of sounds, a blur of motion and color. And activity – snake charmers, acrobats, henna artists, Berbers, musicians (who demand money for photo even if you only look at them), merchants hawking every kind of item - snake-oil salesman selling men’s fertility.

There are scores of “restaurants” – stalls, really, with long tables under canvas like picnics, with their representatives with numbered signs identifying their location, recruiting new customers – when one sits down, they serenade in triumph.

The souks radiate off the square with tiny alleyways.

Before it gets too dark, we make our way through the souks to find the Jewish Quarter and the synagogue (which happens also to be one of the scavenges).

The situation changed in the 16th century when Marrakesh became a major center for Marranos (secret

Changes abound for the Indianapolis Colts

BY CLAIRE LYNCH I guess Andrew Luck’s luck ran out on August 23 because on August 24 he announced that he would be retiring from the National Football League.

Luck made the announcement after the Indianapolis Colts’ preseason game.

His announcement was a disappointment to many Indianapolis Colts fans because Andrew Luck was their star quarterback for six years. It was an announcement that took many by surprise because of the timing of Luck’s announcement. The regular season of the NFL was just weeks away from starting.

He missed the entire 2017 because of a shoulder injury but he returned for the 2018 season and he played well.

Luck retired at 29, which is pretty young to retire in the NFL, but he cited a persistent problem in his throwing shoulder, calf and ankle injuries, etc.

During the 2016 season, Luck suffered an injury to his throwing shoulder but continued to play. That offseason he had surgery on the shoulder, forcing him to miss the entire 2017 season. The next year he returned to playing, finishing second in the league in touchdown passes and setting careerhighs in several categories.

He also led the Colts to 10 wins and their first playoff appearance since 2014.

For his play he was voted to the fourth Pro Bowl of his career and was named the Comeback Player of the Year. He is known for his passing and running abilities so a persistent shoulder injury is not a good thing.

At 6 feet 4 inches, Andrew Luck saw the whole football field, threw the football well on the move and was a talented passer in the pocket. He was mobile enough to avoid sacks and to pick up tough yards on the ground whenever needed.

The Washington, D.C.-born Andrew Luck is the son of Oliver Luck who is an American business executive and former football quarterback. He is currently the CEO and Commissioner of the XFL. Prior to that Oliver Luck was the Director of Intercollegiate Athletes at West Virginia University which is his alma mater, and an executive with the National Collegiate Athletic Association in Indianapolis in charge of the organization’s regulatory functions.

A retired football player, Oliver Luck spent five seasons in the NFL as a quarterback for the Houston Oilers. That was from 1982 to 1986. He was also the

first president and general manager of the Houston Dynamo of Major League Soccer. Under his watch, the Dynamo won the MLS Cup in 2006 and 2007.

Oliver Luck never pushed his children into sports. He is the son of two chemists and he never received any guidance about football when he grew up. Kathy and Oliver Luck exposed their children to many different things and let them find their own interests.

Andrew didn’t seriously pursue football until after the family had left Europe and moved to Houston.

Andrew Luck married his longtime girlfriend, Nicole Pechanec, in March in Prague in the Czech Republic. Nicole’s parents are Czechoslovakian. She was a Stanford University gymnast. In fact Nicole has said that she spent the first 20 years of her life traveling to gymnastics events.

Nicole Pechanec and Andrew Luck met at Stanford University in California where they were both students. Pechanec has an architectural design degree from Stanford’s School of Engineering - the same degree Luck has - and earned an MBA in Business Analytics, Entrepreneurship & Innovation from Indiana University.

They are expecting their first child - the

exciting news was made public on June 15.

A Newark, N.J., native, Pechanec has been a field producer since February 2014, working on broadcasts of gymnastics events with NBC Sports and ESPN. In 2016 Nicole Pechanec worked as a gymnastics statistician with NBC during the Rio Olympics.

Andrew Austen Luck had a different and interesting childhood. He was born in Washington, D.C., on September 12, 1989 to Kathy and Oliver Luck who both have law degrees.

In fact it was while attending law school at the University of Texas at Austin that Oliver Luck met fellow law student Kathy Wilson. Luck graduated in 1987, and in ’88 he and Kathy Wilson were married. Wilson graduated from law school and she also received a master’s degree from UT-Austin.

Andrew Luck spent his early childhood in London and Frankfurt, Germany, because Oliver Luck was the general manager of two World League of American Football teams before becoming president of the league. Andrew attended the Frankfurt International See page D6

Can Senior Citizens Get Social Security Disability Insurance?

BY TOM MARGENAU

Maybe it’s the sign of the times, but I’ve been getting a lot of emails recently from senior citizens asking if they can get Social Security disability benefits.

The answer depends on a variety of factors. It can get a little complicated.

But I can begin with some relatively easy answers. If you are over your full retirement age (66 for most people reading this column), you can forget it. Once you reach that age, disability benefits are no longer payable. Or to put that another way, once you are full retirement age or older, a disability benefit pays the same rate as a retirement benefit.

And here is another easy one. If you are under age 62 (the minimum Social Security retirement age) and you become disabled, you should definitely apply for Social Security disability benefits. To be considered disabled, you must have worked and paid Social Security taxes in five out of the last 10 years, and you must have a physical or mental impairment that is expected to last at least 12 months. If your claim is approved, you get a disability benefit that is essentially equal to your full retirement benefit rate.

Now here are some recent questions I got from disabled seniors that demonstrate how things can get a little more complicated if you are between 62 and 66.

Q: I just turned 64 years old. I filed for Social Security retirement on my 62nd birthday. I’ve had some major health problems lately. Is it too late to file for disability benefits?

A: It’s not too late. But don’t expect a big boost in your monthly Social Security checks if your disability claim is approved.

Because you took reduced retirement at age 62, you are currently getting 75% of your full rate. As stated above, a disability benefit normally pays an amount equal to your age 66 full retirement rate. But from that amount, they must deduct roughly one-half of 1% for every month you’ve already received a Social Security retirement check.

It sounds like you’ve gotten about 24 monthly Social Security checks -meaning your disability benefit must be reduced by 12%. So, if your disability claim is approved, instead of getting the full retirement rate of 100%, you would get about 88%. Still, that is better than the 75% reduced retirement rate that you are currently getting.

Q: I have been getting Social Security since age 62. I am now three months shy of turning 66. I recently had open-heart surgery. Can I switch to disability benefits?

A: In your case, it would do little good. Assuming your disability claim would be approved, they would take your 100% disability rate and subtract

roughly one-half of 1% for all the retirement benefits you’ve received so far.

My calculations show you’ve gotten 44 retirement checks. So that means a 22% reduction must be applied to your disability benefit, leaving you with a 78% rate. You are already getting a 75% reduced retirement benefit. You’d have to decide if it is worth all the hassle of filing a disability claim to get the extra 3% per month.

Q: I am 62 and a half and was planning to file for my Social Security soon. But I’m in rather poor health. Should I file for disability instead?

A: You should file for both retirement and disability benefits at the same time.

Your retirement claim will be processed in a week or two and you will start getting benefits soon after. But disability claims usually take a minimum of three months to complete. If your disability claim is approved, you will be switched from reduced retirement benefits to full disability benefits (with a very slight reduction for the few months’ worth of retirement checks you will have already received). If your disability claim is rejected, you will simply keep getting your reduced retirement benefits.

Q: I am getting Supplemental Security Income disability benefits because they said I didn’t work enough to get Social Security disability benefits. I am about to turn 62. I got a letter from Social Security telling me they are going to force me to file for my retirement benefits and that will cut me off of SSI and Medicaid.

Can they do that?

A: Yes, they can. And I will explain to my other readers what is going on.

To qualify for Social Security disability benefits, you must have worked and paid taxes for five out of the last 10 years.

So when you were told you “didn’t work enough to get Social Security disability,” what they meant is that you didn’t have enough recent work to meet that disability eligibility factor.

But the eligibility rules for retirement don’t include that “recent work” requirement. To get retirement benefits, you simply need to have worked and paid Social Security taxes for a total of 10 years anytime during your lifetime.

And because the SSI program is welfare, it works like any welfare program in that it is supposed to be a payment of last resort. In other words, you must file for any other benefits you are due before they can pay you an SSI check. That is why you must file for your retirement benefits. And if those benefits exceed your SSI rate, you will lose your SSI payments. But you may be able to keep your Medicaid benefits. You will have to check with your local welfare or social services offices about that. (They are the folks who run the Medicaid program.)

Q: I have been getting Social Security disability benefits since I was 58. I’m about to turn 66. Do I have to file for Social Security retirement?

Will the benefit amount change?

A: At age 66, you will be automatically switched from the disability program to the retirement program. But your

benefit payment rate will remain the same, so the conversion will essentially be transparent to you.

The synagogue is beautifully decorated with tile, a courtyard ringed with study rooms, a music room, living quarters. There is a video about history of Jewish community in Marrakesh. The photos on the walls are interesting – the faces of the Moroccan Jews are indistinguishable from the Arab Moroccans.

Moroccan Jews have also left the country - the Moroccan Jewish Diaspora counts more than 1 million members in four corners of the world, “a diaspora that continues to cultivate ties to their homeland, Morocco.” Indeed, we come upon a woman with her sister-in-law and mother who left Marrakesh first for Casablanca and now lives in Paris; her brother is still a member of the synagogue’s leadership – she shows us his chair. Her grandfather is buried in the nearby Jewish cemetery.

From the synagogue, we walk to the Jewish cemetery, Beth Mo’ed Le’kol Chai, which should have been closed, but the guard lets us in.

Founded in 1537, the cemetery spans 52 hectares and is the largest Jewish burial site in Morocco, with some 20,000 tombs including tombs of 60 “saints” and devotees who taught Torah to the communities of Marrakesh and throughout Morocco.

School. He is the oldest of four children, including sisters Mary Ellen and Emily and brother Addison.

Mary Ellen is a Stanford graduate who played volleyball there, Emily is a current Stanford graduate. She finished college in 2016 with a degree in international relations.

Andrew’s brother, Addison, was named Gatorade Boy’s Soccer Player of the Year for West Virginia. As a junior, Addison finished his season with 18 goals and 5 assists, all while maintaining a 4.10 GPA. In 2016 Addison committed to playing collegiate soccer at Yale.

In London, Andrew Luck attended The American School in London. As a result of his childhood in London, he is a big soccer fan both in the U.S. and across the pond.

The Luck family returned to Texas when Oliver Luck was named CEO of the Harris County-Houston Sports Authority. In Houston, Andrew attended Stratford High School, where he threw for 7,139 yards and 53 touchdowns in his high school career, and rushed for another 2,085 yards. Luck was also the co-valedictorian of his graduating class in 2008.

I am a longtime N.Y. Jets fan - and also a longtime N.Y. Giants fan. I like the Mets and the Yankees. I also like the Islanders and the Rangers - but those last four teams are totally different stories!

In terms of football, my third favorite team is the Indianapolis Colts. I’ve been following the Colts for 30 years or more.

In 2007 the Indianapolis Colts beat the Chicago Bears in Super Bowl XLI. The score was 29-17 and they played at Dolphin Stadium in Miami Gardens, Fl. The winning quarterback was Peyton Manning. CBS TV broadcast the game which was watched by about 93.2 million people.

Peyton Manning was the Colts’ star quarterback from to 1998 to 2011 then Andrew Luck arrived in 2012 and began doing his own magic with the team. Manning left Indianapolis for the Denver Broncos. He played with them from 2012 to 2015. In 2016 Peyton manning retired from football.

Andrew Luck signed a four-year contract with the Indianapolis Colts in 2012.

He was a talented football player, he was a promising quarterback and the rest is history.

Many critics have said that football is a demanding sport and that if Andrew Luck knew that he couldn’t give his job 100%, both physically and mentally, then retirement was the right thing to do.

Indianapolis-based John Green is an author who has interviewed Andrew Luck on various occasions. When he was asked about Luck’s decision to retire Green said, “He’s 29, and he’s put his body through a lot, and he felt like it was the right time to retire. And I gotta say I have so much admiration

for that decision, and I’m just really grateful for everything that he’s done for Indianapolis in the many years that he has been here.

“He’s going to do lots of other things because he’s such a fascinating, intellectually curious person.” John Green added that Andrew Luck will probably end up transitioning to another career. (indystar.com) Jim Harbaugh recruited and signed Luck when he was the head coach at Stanford. Then he developed Luck into one of college football’s top quarterbacks.

Jim Harbaugh always liked Andrew Luck. They took different paths, however, when Harbaugh left Stanford for the NFL and Luck was later drafted No. 1 overall by the Indianapolis Colts.

After Luck’s retirement announcement Harbaugh said, “He is one of my all-time favorite players that I’ve ever coached.” Like many people Jim Harbaugh was surprised to see Andrew Luck go but he didn’t question his decision.

Clyde Christensen said he knew that Andrew Luck’s retirement was always a possibility, but it still shocked the former Colts quarterbacks coach.

“I stay in touch with him and kind of knew that he was contemplating it,’’ said Christensen, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ quarterback coach. “But I learned like everybody. I was watching the Florida-Miami game and it came across the bottom. All of a sudden, I had

15 texts in 30 seconds.

“Like everyone, the reality of it was shocking. It was a blow. It knocked the wind out of me.” (tampabay.com) Bruce Arians, the interim head coach of the Colts in 2012 when Andrew Luck was a rookie quarterback and led them to a 11-5 record and playoff berth, had trouble believing the news shortly after the announcement was made.

“I know he’s been struggling with this latest injury but the last time I talked to him, he was still fired up about the year and the team,’’ Arians said.

“Knowing his toughness, and his mental toughness, this does surprise me.

Something has got to be wrong somewhere because I know he loves the game so much. I broadcast two of his games last year for CBS and he was running off the bus to come say hi and tell me how the team was doing and the young receivers and how excited he was. To see it, that was very disheartening.’’

Jacoby Brissett is the Indianapolis Colts’ starting quarterback now. He’s got his chance.

After seven years of being in the NFL, Andrew Luck has said goodbye to playing professional football. He and his wife have a new baby coming and so Andrew Luck has started a new chapter in his life.

VACCUFLEX That’s it. Just a multipiece kit that attaches to any vacuum cleaner that has a hose -- like my Shark -- which then allows the vacuum cleaner to get into even the tiniest crevice, corner or space.

What’s so ingenious about a VaccuFlex kit is that within those seven pieces -- which are food-grade, so they’re safe to use in the kitchen -- is the perfect combination to fit any size vacuum cleaner hose and to get into any size space. And this is not like some little battery-powered mini vac. I have all of the power of my Shark behind VaccuFlex.

KITCHEN I use VaccuFlex to vacuum all the

crumbs and bits out of my kitchen drawers in a flash, because there is no need to remove flatware, utensils and so forth. And that area around my coffee grinder? That machine is messy and throws fine coffee grounds into cracks, crevices and drawer guides. VaccuFlex to the rescue for that and for reaching under the refrigerator, too.

AUTOMOBILE To me, car vacs are troublesome.

They’re either too wimpy and powerless or the cord is too short. If they’re cordless, they usually lack in run time.

Using a full-power vacuum cleaner with VaccuFlex is the way to detail the inside of a car.

Its tiny hose can get into the tightest spots to super-suction out all of the stuff that accumulates on and in car seats, floors, door compartments, center consoles and dashboards.

DOOR AND WINDOW TRACKS What is it about door and window tracks that make them so hard to clean?

It’s the corners and that area right next to the track that seem absolutely impossible! The solution is to make sure those

areas are perfectly dry and then put VaccuFlex on the job. I’ve discovered it’s a lot easier if I loosen the dirt and debris with a good brush first.

CLOTHES DRYER My first clue that things were not quite right with my clothes dryer: Suddenly, it was taking forever to get anything dry! I’d check and recheck the lint trap, so that wasn’t the problem. Turns out it was all kinds of lint that had gotten stuck behind the trap farther inside the machine. And in the dryer vent line.

My laundry appliances are stacked, so pulling the dryer down to get into those areas from the back was not at all practical. And that’s when, in desperation, I ordered a VaccuFlex kit. I removed the lint trap and stuck that hose all the way into that area. It was amazing. My Shark nearly filled itself before I stopped pulling out lint balls. Then I went outdoors to vacuum through the outside of the dryer vent. And that fixed the problem.

CLOGGED SINK Warning: You must attach VaccuFlex to a wet/dry vacuum to perform

this household rescue. Shark vacuums are NOT wet/dry!

If you have a hopelessly clogged sink, you could quickly clear that clog with VaccuFlex attached to a wet/dry vacuum.

There are so many other ways VaccuFlex has made my life easier -- cleaning out air returns, condensate lines, plumbing traps and HVAC systems, to name a few.

Such a great invention! For more information and resources including where to view a video demonstration, go to https://www.everydaycheapskate.com/vflex.

Can Millenials afford Long Island communities?

BY PHILIP A. RAICES

I

s a lifestyle or buying into a community still attainable on Long Island?

I have met and assisted many buyers and sellers over the last thirty-eight years of being in the real estate business. Everyone has had their particular reasons for purchasing for the first time as well as those sellers that move out of their current home to relocate somewhere locally or out of the area.

After reading the column in the August 23 edition of Blank Slate Media’s publication by Rose Weldon about what is going on with millennials, they obviously are moving out of Long Island to other states due to affordability with respect to the price of housing, as well be able to locate viable jobs to enable them to stay put. It reminds me of my column on August 2 about “where have the millennials gone” (https://theislandnow. com/blog-112/where-have-the-millennials-wholeft-long-island-gone/), and all the reasons why.

After conversing with many millennial buyers, the majority of them want to stay and initially rent because of the high cost of purchasing, down payments, closing costs, and yes, their student loan debt.

Unfortunately, New York City’s rents are way too costly for them to even consider, even though they may work there; so they opt for something local and then work hard, and hope and pray that they can pay down their debts and save for that “white picket fence” home or condo or co-op.

But for most, especially if single, there isn’t a sufficient lifestyle like being in New York City, but financially they must stay put living at home

as the only viable option for a majority of millennials. So there is really no choice for either a lifestyle or community environment, especially for those living on Long Island, where there really isn’t anything comparable to New York City, where they feel more comfortable with the active seen within their group. Many do travel to the city to work and hang out after hours and on the weekends too!

I can see in many cases some are not the happiest and it’s probably affecting their outlook on their future, eventually getting married or if already married as to where to plant themselves and “grow their roots in a community.”

Leaving their home base from where they were brought up, and relocating, can be a major jolt mentally and a serious life change, which I am quite sure, can be very traumatic. But what are their options when affordability and lifestyle are at stake?

Most of the time neither is attainable locally but easier to attain out of New York. For other groups who can afford it, there is a choice for buying into a community for that grassroots friendly feel or possibly a lifestyle as in a homeowner association that those types of gated and open communities, with clubhouses, pools, tennis, and safety can provide.

When a decision is made to buy a home, families will generally search out a town that has the

best schools within their budget.

This will be crucial if married with children and expecting to stay long term. Also important is very good transportation, (as the Long Island Railroad is trying to accomplish upgrades in adding a third track in the middle of Long Island especially for those working in New York City) as well as what may be offered in the town, enough things for the kids to do, cultural events, concerts in the summer and safe places to hang out. The local neighborhood and neighbors are also important, so they come away with a good feeling of the area. The north shore and its towns boast superior parks, (Great Neck has had a state-sanctioned Park District for as long as I can remember, which comprises twenty-one active and passive parks) summer concerts, community pools and superb school districts (dining and shopping as well) making the area a major draw for families excepting above-average education for their children.

It’s also a major contributing factor to higher prices within those towns. However, I have always said as I believe most would agree, when you become a homeowner, that your home is where you live and bring up your children and make friends and build relationships, but at the same time create your own specific lifestyle, whatever that may mean to you. Why are home prices higher in Nassau than in other areas? The reasons are all of the above as mentioned.

However, Long Island’s demographics have been evolving over the years, whereby the “graying of Long Island” is continuing. But who will be replacing that group when they are gone?

Unfortunately, it’s about affordability and the money necessary to become a homeowner and to buy into a community and/or create that special lifestyle! It will be predicated on what our local and state governments as well as businesses do to stem the tide of losing our millennial population as well as gaining more people from outside New York State. We must begin to do something now, by stepping up to the plate and begin figuring it all out and making some hard decisions. Only time will tell to determine our success in this major endeavor.

Fall Gardens

BY JEFF RUGG Sometimes it is fun to look at the differences that gardeners in the northern and southern parts of the country face. As we head into fall, what should gardeners be doing?

Depending on how much protection a northern vegetable garden has from the weather, it may not suffer much damage from a light frost. Crops that grow best in cool weather such as broccoli, cabbage, spinach and radishes can be harvested even after several frosts.

Warm season plants such as tomatoes, beans, peppers and the vine crops die in frosts, and the plants are headed for the compost pile. Harvest any green fruits that are going to be frosted, and bring them inside to let them ripen indoors. Don’t bother with fruit that has soft spots because it will continue to rot. Ripening can be sped up by putting fruit in a paper sack and adding a ripe apple. The apple releases ethylene gas that helps other fruit ripen.

The fall is the best time to rototill the garden because the soil usually isn’t too wet. Add organic matter, leave the soil in large chunks, and let the freezing and thawing action of winter weather break them apart.

As northern gardeners try to salvage green tomatoes from the frost, southern gardeners are planting tomatoes and other warm season vegetables for a winter crop. Hot southern areas have better vegetable gardens in the fall, winter and spring than in the summer. Strawberries can be planted in beds or containers.

After the first frost, northern gardeners dig up summer flowering bulbs like cannas, dahlias and gladioluses. Wash off the soil, sprinkle fungicide on any wounds, and let them dry. Store them in a loose bag in a dry, cool, dark place until spring. If the location is too warm, they will shrivel up, and if it is too moist, they will rot.

Plant tulips, daffodils and other spring flowering bulbs in the garden after you have had the first frost. Until next spring, northern gardens will look bleak.

As the cool weather arrives, southern gardeners can divide summer flowering bulbs like caladiums, cannas, dahlias, el-

ephant ears and gladioluses. Or, just leave them in place and cover them with several inches of mulch. This is the time of year to plant agapanthuses, amaryllises, calla lilies and elephant ear bulbs.

Cool weather may mean switching out the southern flower bed. Cool-season annual flowers that give color all winter include carnations, foxgloves, pansies, petunias and snapdragons.

In all areas, many perennials can be divided and replanted as they go dormant. To ease the transplant shock, just dig out half the plant. Add organic matter where the plant was removed. Move or give away the extra plants. It is easier to see where they should go now, before everything starts growing, than in the spring.

Northern gardeners need to remove fallen tree leaves from lawns. Grass plants that are shaded can’t produce and store the carbohydrates necessary

for surviving the winter. Sod can be planted until the ground freezes, but you are taking a chance that it won’t survive the longer you wait to install it. It is becoming too late to plant grass seed with the guarantee of a successful crop Keep mowing southern, warm-season grass as long as it remains green. Many winter weeds sprout in the fall, so apply preemergent herbicides.

Make sure to adjust the irrigation system, as cooler weather means the grass and flower beds don’t need as much water as they did in the summer.

save lives. Unfortunately, many people still bring guns to New York from other states which may have lax laws. “That’s where the federal government will step in, like Congress banning assault weapons,” he said.

“What has disturbed me in this year and in recent years is the uptick in discrimination, anti-Semitism and racism -- there has just been so many different horrible situations. Education is a really important component, our North Shore schools all do a really good job of teaching tolerance among students. But we have the need to legislate and we have hate crime legislation, unfortunately there’s just some people who continue to do unconscionable things and we have to have appropriate laws on the books when someone commits a hate crime for attacking others for their religion or color,” Gaughran said.

The senator says children are particularly receptive to learning more about every religion, and efforts such as the Interfaith Clergy Council’s go a long way to achieving a greater society.

“I find it interesting, wherever I go from a Catholic or a Baptist Church to a Jewish temple, a Sikh temple, a mosque as I attend so many events -- much of the beliefs are similar to treat humankind with respect and love one another mainly sums it up. If a family is practicing a religion, children usually follow into practicing that and that is part of our social fiber as well, but I think it’s also important to make sure we all understand different faiths,” Sen. Gaughran said.

After a mass shooting at a mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand, six months ago left 47 dead and over 40 more wounded, the local Interfaith Clergy Council in Syosset/Woodbury posted the following humanitarian message on social media: “The violence is evidence of a hatred against Moslems and Islam which is international and demands that all people of good conscience raise their voices in protest against this profound violation of God’s word and will. We express

our sorrow to the families of the victims and pray for the wounded that they fully recover. We additionally stand with our Moslem friends and neighbors at this dark hour and vow with them to fight this scourge of hatred and Islamophobia. There is no place in this world where such ugly passions should be tolerated and they can be given no sanction among those who truly understand what civilization is meant to be or what the strictures of godliness demands us to be.”

Gaughran Hosts Town Halls This Fall The senator’s office has announced two more Town Hall meetings scheduled for early fall in his North Shore communities comprising the 5th New York State senatorial district. For September 23, the featured topic was Public Safety.

On Monday, October 7 Sen. Gaughran will host another Town Hall centered on the 2020-’21 New York State Budget (the state’s fiscal year is April 1 through March 31). The October 7 event starts at 7 p.m. at Northport Public Library, 151 Laurel Avenue.

“One of my thoughts is on Governor Cuomo submitting the budget in January and we will deal with it in Albany pursuant to that. But here, in our district we can have a Town Hall discussion as he and state finance staff are actually preparing the next budget.

That allows us to spread factual information and allow residents to consider the channels money is allocated into at the state level,” he said.

The senator is pleased more residents will have an opportunity to tell State officials how they want to see New York spend budget allocations totaling over $175 Billion per year.

“We always are able to listen and give people access to information, assisting them where we can. If there may be a federal problem we would initiate a call to Congressman Tom Suozzi’s office, or if there was a local-level issue to resolve we will dial one of the town or village halls to find out more and discuss it,” Gaughran told the Advance and News-Journal.

Knights to hold Comedy Night The Joseph Barry Knights of Columbus will hold a comedy night on Saturday, October 12 from 7-11 p.m.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Enjoy the comedy of three comedians, a floor show and a DJ. The evening will include an open bar, food, dessert and coffee and tea. Cost is $40 per person.

Please make checks payable to "Joseph Barry Knights of Columbus".

Reservations are required. No money will be accepted at the door.

The Knights of Columbus are located at 45 Heitz Place, Hicksville.

With six offices on Long Island, and 20 neurosurgeons available to see patients, NSPC is one of the country’s largest private brain and spine surgery practices.

“Dr. Zouzias and Dr. Gaudin are outstanding additions to our practice,” says Michael H. Brisman, M.D., Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and a senior partner at NSPC. “They’re both qualified as neurosurgeons and have additional orthopedic spinal surgical training. This gives them exceptional insight into how to best treat patients with neck or back conditions. Their arrival,” he notes, “further enhances our group’s ability to provide highly-specialized, university-level care in a community setting.”

Dr. Zouzias is a boardcertified neurosurgeon specializing in complex and minimally invasive spinal surgery. He performs advanced neurological and spinal procedures using the most advanced techniques, such as lateral access procedures for spinal fusion, cervical artificial
