Syosset HS Forensics students win international debate competition
Two students from Syosset High School’s Forensics speech and debate team, Diya Chadha and Malini Rudra, represented the United States at an international student debate competition held at the 2018 International Global Tourism Summit in Honolulu Oct. 1-3, and won first place in the competition.
Diya and Malini were selected by the Hawaii Tourism Authority to represent mainland USA at an international competition in Hawaii. High school
debaters from Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Japan, Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, Hawaii, and one team from New Jersey debated the resolution that the use of Artificial Intelligence in the tourism industry will improve the visitor experience. Students had to prepare and defend cases that both affirmed and negated the resolution in debates before panels of judges.
Many of the 2,000 members of the tourism industry from 32 countries who attended the Summit watched the final
Hawaii
and coach-advisor
round featuring the two teams with the best records from preliminary rounds of competition as Team USA, Diya and Malini, negated the resolution and defeated Team Taiwan.
The students summed up their experience this way: “Having debated at different tournaments across the east coast, debating in Hawaii was new and very exciting. We are so glad to have met so many fantastic high school debaters from around the world. And as public speakers, we got a special kick out of having the keynote speaker at the conference be Sophia, a robot.”
Forensics coach/advisor Lydia
Esslinger nominated her debate captains Diya and Malini in a letter of recommendation accompanied by the girls’ record as partners in local competitions. “I always say 'join Forensics, see the world,“ she said. “Although the team travels widely throughout the USA, mainlanders never compete in Hawaii. I wanted the girls to have the opportunity to visit the state farthest from us New Yorkers, engage in conversation about the increasingly important issues surrounding AI, and meet their peers from other countries. It was a wonderful experience, thanks to the generosity of the Hawaii Tourism Authority.”
M I YJCC Explores Expanding Aging-in-Place Services to Syosset
The Mid-Island Y JCC is proud to receive state funding to offer innovative aging-in-place programs and services within Plainview and Old Bethpage. The agency is in the process of preparing to apply for funding to bring similar programs and services to neighborhoods within Syosset.
Neighborhood Naturally Occurring Retirement Community (NNORC) programs provide services to help residents in neighborhoods with high concentrations of older adults to successfully age-in-place in their own homes. Program services are developed from the ground-up, based on assessment of the needs of the local community. Services provided in the Mid-Island Y JCC’s current NNORC programs include volunteer-based transportation to local medical appointments and shopping, social work services for emotional support and access to benefits, volunteer-based minor home repair, and community health nursing. The Mid-Island Y JCC is hoping to secure funding to bring these or other services (selected based on the feedback of Syosset seniors) to neighborhoods within Syosset that demonstrate a high level of need.
“Protecting our seniors should be at the forefront of the priority list for policy makers across Long Island,” said Joshua A. Lafazan, Nassau County Legislature. “I’m proud to stand with the Mid Island Y as they continue to endeavor to provide critical services for our senior citizens.”
To help us make the case for state funding, as well as to develop a menu of services specific to the needs of Syosset seniors, we are asking as many local seniors as possible to complete a Senior Needs Assessment Survey and return it to the Mid-Island Y JCC. The survey is being mailed to the homes of seniors in the Syosset area. Please contact Alana Rosenstein at (516) 822-3535, ext. 385 if you have not received a survey, would like the survey administered by telephone instead of in writing, require a large-print copy of the survey, or would like the survey administered in another language.
Please call Alana at (516) 822-3535, ext. 385 for more information.

A Ghoulish Gala at HB Thompson Middle School
The HBT Student Activity Club hosted its annual 6th Grade Social on October 29. The students had a great time mingling and dancing while showing off their Halloween costumes. Refreshments were served for everyone to enjoy. Witches, football players, scarecrows, and skeletons were among many to hit the dance floor and dance to the DJ's music selections. The emcee entertained the students with
several fun games, Pepsi-Coke being a crowd favorite. The dance floor was full for much of the evening. The sixthgrade students loved the opportunity to express themselves and get together with friends, both old and new. What a great way to welcome students to their first year of middle school. It was an evening to remember and although they wore different costumes, they all wore ear-to-ear smiles.

After by Jeanette Martone
A few thoughts on the 2018 midterm elections, now that I’ve had a few day to think about them.
Nationally, the Democrats did well, winning a majority of the House of Representatives. The Democratic pickup at this writing is 32 seats, with around eight undecided races. This should put the Democratic likely gain at around 36 seats, which will give them about a 231-204 majority. The gains by the opposition party were slightly above average for a midterm election; whether it was a “wave” is in the eye of the beholder. Democrats showed significant strength in suburban areas. As discussed last week, Democrats were extremely well funded in this cycle, and this no doubt helped them run up the score.
While it was a good Democratic night, it was not a sweep. Republicans did pretty well in the Senate, taking advantage of a very favorable map to gain (most likely, given the continuing recounts) two net seats for a 53-47 majority. The Kavanaugh confirmation fight was likely helpful in some

states like North Dakota and Missouri, as voters ousted two senators who opposed the nomination; moreover, the enhanced GOP numbers in the Senate will be very useful in future confirmation battles. Democrats generally did well in governor’s races, but Republicans won or apparently won some high profile races in key states like Florida, Georgia and Ohio.
Going forward, some Democrats have promised virtually nonstop investigations of President Trump once the party gains control of the House on January 3. The new majority is supposedly aiming a “subpoena cannon” at 85 administration targets, planning to look into virtually every aspect of Mr. Trump’s prior life and presidency. There is even renewed talk of impeaching Mr. Trump, something the Democrats put on the back burner during the campaign.
While it is common for out of power parties to launch Congressional investigations (for example, House Republicans did much looking into the Obama Administration after the GOP

victory in the 2010 midterms), there is a definite danger to Democrats if they overdo their opposition to President Trump. Democrats would do well to remember that they won numerous new seats in pretty conservative areas of the country (among other places in Oklahoma, South Carolina, Kansas, even Staten Island), probably enough to insure their majority, with candidates who ran as pragmatic centrists seeking to effect change in Washington on issues such as health care. I’m not sure that voters in these areas will be anxious to see their recently elected representatives simply focusing on allout opposition to Mr. Trump.
I would suggest that Republicans take another look at the state and local tax deduction which was eliminated as part of the recently enacted tax bill. While some of the GOP problem in the suburbs was based on general dislike of President Trump, the loss of this deduction in high tax blue states gave Democrats a solid talking point in many upper income areas around the country. One would think that
some kind of bipartisan (and revenue neutral) compromise could be worked out that restores much or all of this deduction.
While there were at least some things to like for Republicans on the national level, the same cannot be said for the party in New York State. No member of the badly underfunded GOP team of statewide candidates was able to break 40 percent, despite what seemed like pretty good issues like corruption, high taxes and a stagnant upstate economy. Two, and probably three, Congressional seats were lost. Even worse for the GOP, however, the party lost control of the state senate, its last real lever of power, apparently losing eight seats. Going forward, the Republicans will lose a seat at the table on legislation in Albany, and, unless they can win the senate back in 2020, will not have a voice when voting districts are drawn after the next census. The party will have to take rapid action to avoid permanent minority status.

Colorado Ski Country USA Welcomes Skiers, Riders With Improvements On and Off Mountains
BY KAREN RUBIN TRAVEL FEATURES SYNDICATE GOINGPLACESFARANDNEAR.COM
Colorado Ski Country USA (CSCUSA) member ski areas will welcome guests this season with a slew of l improvements and programs to delight guests of all ages, abilities and interests levels.
“Guests to Colorado Ski Country member ski areas will experience new chairlifts, new terrain, new lodging, new dining options and multiple offerings that are directed at those newer or returning to the sport and those that may just be looking to enjoy the mountain environment,” said Melanie Mills, President and CEO of Colorado Ski Country USA.
Here are highlights: Winter Park Resort
Winter Park Resort is opening a new $16 million 10-person gondola in its base area, replacing the well known 4-person Zephyr chairlift. This new gondola will increase uphill capacity by over 1,000 guests per hour, reducing wait times by 15 minutes during peak season. It is part of a $28 million investment at the resort this year. The resort’s first new on-mountain lift installation since 2007, the gondola will serve a new daily Mountaintop Sunset Après at the Lodge at Sunspot from 2:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., with live music on Fridays and Saturdays. Foot passengers can ride for free without a lift ticket beginning at 2:30 p.m. each day. Check out Winter Park’s five-course gondola-served dinners at The Lodge at Sunspot.
Skiers will also benefit from upgrades to its snowmaking system with the addition of new energy efficient compressors, pipe replacement, and new high-tech snow guns.
An upgrade to the Zephyr Plaza in Winter Park Village will create a freeflowing plaza with stage area, fire pits, and sundeck for general gathering and small events and concerts.
Winter Park is still owned by the City of Denver but now under management of Alterra Mountain Company. Alterra, which also owns the Aspen Skiing Company, is paying the city $3 million a year plus a percentage (money that is going toward
the city’s parks). That means that Winter Park is also included in Alterra’s Ikon Pass (nearby Copper Mountain is also part of Ikon pass, plus Steamboat, Aspen Snowmass in Colorado, among 14 resorts included for unlimited visits on the pass).
Winter Park Resort is linked to Denver by train and the popular service is expanding to once a day on Saturday and Sunday and the first two Fridays of the month (January through March, $29 one/way, half-price for

children under 12; book in advance so you don’t get shut out); it leaves the resort at 4:30 pm so it can be a day trip (great idea for people coming to Denver for business or conferences). Destination visitors can even take rail from the airport to downtown/ Union Station, stay overnight in the city and acclimate to the altitude before taking the train in the morning. Winter Park works with

Denver’s Convention & Visitor Bureau, and you can book lodging online. It’s great for corporate visitors to Denver, but Winter Park, a major destination resort, is definitely worth longer-stays.
Winter Park starts at a base of 9,000 ft., rising to a summit at 12,060 ft, for a 3,060 ft. vertical; it offers snowmaking on 313 of its 3,081 skiable acres, serviced by 25 lifts; its 166 trails offer 8% green, 37% intermediate, 52% black and 3% double-black including bowl skiing and cat-skiing.

Copper Mountain Resort
Copper Mountain is debuting the American Flyer and American Eagle chairlifts out of
Copper’s Center Village. The American Flyer is a high speed six-person chair with bubble enclosures to protect from wind and cold, the only active bubble chair in Colorado. The American Eagle is a high-speed combination lift that features both six-person chairs and eight-person gondola cabins. Both will significantly increase uphill access from the base area and reduce wait times.
Copper Mountain has a new base area restaurant, Downhill Duke’s. Named after a beloved dog, Downhill Duke’s welcomes guests and their four-legged friends to enjoy lunch or après cocktails on the south-facing patio.
One of the many pleasures of Copper, which is one of the easiest major resorts to reach from Denver International Airport, are programs like
Purgatory Resort has year-round access to the Inferno Mountain Coaster, a nearly mile-long ride that zips through aspen groves at up to 25 mph, down 300 feet of vertical, and around nine switchbacks, revealing incredible views of the San Juan Mountains (photo from Purgatory Resort).

Copper Mountain is owned by Powdr resort company which is now partnering with the Ikon ski pass so you get unlimited skiing/riding, along with Woodward, Winter Park, Eldora, Steamboat, Aspen Snowmass and Killington, Vt.)
“The theme for us this year is the ease of access,” with free transportation throughout Summit county, upgraded parking and bus fleet.
Copper offers naturally separated abilities across its mountain peaks, and plenty of stunning skiing/riding for beginners and intermediates in the 2490 skiable acres (36 green runs, 36 blue, 52 black and 27 double-black) with snowmaking on 364 acres to supplement the 306 inches of average snowfall. From the base at 9,703 ft, the peak rises to 12,313 ft. For more information, visit www. coppercolorado.com
Steamboat Resort
Steamboat Resort is featuring two new dining experiences. Timber & Torch, a new base area restaurant and bar experience, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, has a new outdoor heated patio, two indoor/outdoor bars, an exterior fireplace and a new outdoor BBQ. The Taco Beast, a new on-mountain, roaming snowcat, serves carne asada and al pastor trail tacos with trailside service in both winter and summer seasons.
Steamboat starts at a base of 6,900 ft., rising to a summit at 10,568 ft, for a 3,668 ft. vertical; it offers snowmaking on 375 of its 2,965 skiable acres, serviced by 18 lifts; its 165 trails are graded as 14% green, 42% intermediate, 44% black including bowl skiing and cat-skiing.
Steamboat, famous for its Western ambiance, also offers night skiing and a mountain coaster. Steamboat Springs also boasts having produced more winter Olympians than any other town in North America. Steamboat is one of 14 resorts included on the Alterra Mountain’s Ikon Pass. For more information, visit www.steamboat.com
Aspen Snowmass
Aspen Snowmass is actually four distinct
mountain destinations: the legendary Aspen Mountain, which rises up from one of Colorado’s most charming towns; Snowmass Mountain Resort, a self-contained resort; Aspen Highlands, a challenging mountain and Buttermilk Mountain, especially popular for beginners and families.
Aspen Skiing Company, part of Alterra Mountain Co., is making progress on the $600 million Snowmass Base Village Development is adding lodging, residences and amenities over 10 years. The first phase of development is opening this season: the new Limelight Hotel Snowmass, a ski-in/ski-out hotel adjacent to Snowmass Mountain’s Elk Camp Gondola features 99 hotel rooms and 11 for-sale condominiums, plus a new restaurant, a children’s game area and a five-story climbing wall.
The Snowmass Base Village hosts a central public events plaza, serving as the community’s gathering space with an ice-skating rink, fire pits, children’s pop-up fountains and other community amenities this winter. At Buttermilk families and children can enjoy Fort Frog, a new wooden, frontier style fort with lookout towers, a jail, snowball launcher and swinging bridge.
Aspen Mountain: The ski trails at Aspen Mountain were originally cut by the US Army’s 10th Mountain Division and the ski destination emerged from a sleepy post-war town beginning in 1946. Its Silver Queen Gondola rises up from downtown Aspen 3,000 vertical feet to the summit of Aspen Mountain at 11,212 ft. (making it easy to access from downtown hotels, like the historic Jerome Hotel). Its comparatively small size — a mere 675 acres (still larger than most New England ski resorts) offers 76 trails of which 48% are rated intermediate, 26% advanced and 26% doubleblack including bowl skiing and cat skiing.
Snowmass with more than 3,300 skiable acres, has the highest vertical rise, 4,400 feet, in the country. Snowmass is notable for really catering to all ages and abilities and for being familyfriendly - its 20 lifts serve 96 trails, rated as 5% green, 48% intermediate, 17% black and 30%

double-black including bowl skiing. There are steeps and powder fields at Hanging Valley; long cruisers; tree trails and three terrain parks. A new Snowmass Mountain Club provides members private garage parking directly below the Club, ski-in access and access to the hotel’s fitness facilities and hot tubs.
Also new is the Breathtaker Alpine Coaster, that winds through a mile of forest on an elevated track at speeds up to 28 mph. Located adjacent to the Elk Camp Restaurant, the coaster operates during the day and special Ullr Nights and select Après extended hours. You can purchase tickets for a 2 1/2-hour coaster session or a 2 1/2-hour session combining the coaster and Tubing
Snowmass is celebrating its 50th anniversary with festivities all season long.
Buttermilk is known for two seemingly contradictory things: being a beginners’ mountain and hosting the Winter X Games. Its kidoriented Panda Peak is popular for families and Buttermilk’s West Buttermilk park is well suited to learners while a second X Games park offers 100 features and a pipe.
Buttermilk rises from a base at 7,870 to a summit at 9,900’ for a vertical of 2,030 ft.; it offers snowmaking on 108 of its 470 skiable acres, which are serviced by 8 lifts. Its 44 trails are rated as 35% green, 39% intermediate, 21% black and 5% double-black.
Aspen Highlands is a challenging area (no beginner trail) that has a reputation as being where locals go. Highland Bowl is a legendary basin of double-black diamond terrain which is reached by hiking to 12,392 foot Highland Peak, and is prized by expert skiers and riders.
GOING PLACES, NEAR & FAR....
Aspen Highlands rises from 8,040 to 12,392 feet, for a 3,635 ft. vertical and offers 1,040 skiable acres, served by 5 lifts. Of the 144 trails, 23% are rated intermediate, 12% black and 65% doubleblack; it offers bowl skiing and cat skiing.
Also new for the 2018-19 season, The Aspen Snowmass App is being upgraded to provide rewards and enhanced functioning of year-overyear stats and tracking, allowing families, skiers and nonskiers to track on-mountain movements.
Aspen Snowmass is part of the Alterra collection and the Ikon Pass as well as The Mountain Collective. For more information, visit www.aspensnowmass.com
Telluride Ski Resort has upgraded The Meadows, its popular beginner area, into a worldclass learning facility. The Meadows features a newly installed 320-foot covered surface lift and a significant investment in a terrain-based learning program. Telluride skiers and riders will also find an expanded grooming fleet to enhance the groomed terrain across the resort, as Telluride continues its multi-year, multimilliondollar venture in snowmaking upgrades and technology to improve efficiency and reduce its carbon footprint. A new consumer app is being introduced that provides up-to-the-minute lift status information, snow reporting, trail status, an interactive trail map, push notifications and more.
Telluride, a quintessential Colorado experience, offers the highest eaterie, Alpino Vino, at 11,996 ft altitude (they sell oxygen).
Telluride, which is now included as a partner on Vail Resorts’ Epic Pass, also offers heli-skiing in the San Juans, literally departing from outside the door of the hotel (suitable for strong intermediates,
but aimed for excellent skiers). Telluridxe is also home to the resort rated #1 in North America by Conde Nast Traveler for five of the last six years.
Telluride rises from a base at 8,725 ft to a summit at 13,150 ft, for a whopping 4,425 ft vertical; it offers 2,000 skiable acres accessed by 19 lifts; of the 148 trails, 23% are rated green, 36% are blue, 41% are black. For more information, visit www.tellurideskiresort.com

WRITER’S CORNER
I’m So Full (of Thanks)
BY MARJORIE GOTTLIEB WOLFE
Stephen Colbert said, “Thanksgiving is a magical time of year when families across the country join together to raise America’s obesity statistics.”
n
Phyllis Diller said, “It took me three weeks to stuff the turkey. I stuffed it through the beak.”
n
And when a Butterball Talk-Line staffer asked a caller what STATE her turkey was in (meaning how thawed was it), the caller responded with, “Florida.”
n
Now let’s talk turkey. My late husband and I shared a “chupeh,” 3 beautiful sons, 7 grandchildren, a gas explosion, a queen-size bed, 1/2 gallon of Heavenly Hash ice cream, the Popcorn diet (and gained weight), a Bernard Meltzer T-shirt, a Leo Buscaglia hug… and 53 Thanksgiving dinners.
n
We’ve disagreed with Calvin Trillin, who said that “Thanksgiving would be a happier holiday if fettuccini filled in for the turkey”…and agreed with the home economists at the Butterball Turkey Talk-Line that stuffing should NOT be placed inside the turkey’s cavi-
ty until just before roasting.
n
I’ve never made a tofu turkey like Marie Barone did in “Everybody Loves Raymond.” If you recall, Ray, behind Marie’s back, orders a complete turkey dinner. When Marie brings out the tofu turkey, Frank asks for a carving knife… and says, “I wanna slit my throat.”
n
Preparing for Thanksgiving dinner isn’t easy. One grandson is concerned with tough-turkey syndrome. This illness occurs when a bite of turkey gets stuck in the esophagus. The food goes down the right pipe, but gets stuck before it reaches the stomach.
n
I’ve repeatedly explained to him that those most at risk are denture wearers, senior citizens, alcoholics or anyone who doesn’t chew food thoroughly.
n
Grandson #1 has requested that I prepare “POTATO SOUFFLE OY VAY!”
from The French-Kosher Cookbook by Ruth & Bob Grossman 1964 edition):
Here’s the recipe:
2 cups mashed potatoes
a pinch pepper
3/4 cup light cream
2 egg yolks
A couple pinches salt
4 egg whites
First of all your mashed potatoes should be warm. (You can use instant potatoes if you’re lazy, or the other kind… you choose.) Now the cream you’ll mix in together very good with the salt, pepper and egg yolks With a beater you’ll beat the egg whites until they’re so stiff they’re practically saluting. Then you’ll fold the whites into the potato mixture. Put the whole thing into a casserole pot you greased first, and bake it in an oven that says 375 degrees, for a half hour. The souffle you’ll find will get nice and brown on top and it’ll rise. Serve it right away when it’s done and keep talking so your guest shouldn’t notice that it settles down a little as it cools. Serves 4 or 5 talking guests.
n
Another grandson stressed that Thanksgiving foods that are the same color have the same number of calories. Ex. spinach and pistachio ice cream, mushrooms and white chocolate, oyster stuffing and “Healthcare Crunch”— a flavor suggested by friends of Obama.
n
My eldest son, Matthew, who has a great sense of humor, will walk in and say, “Why is this night different from
the Inferno Mountain Coaster, a new gravity-fed ride that zips through aspen groves revealing incredible views of the San Juan Mountains. The Inferno Mountain Coaster is almost a mile long, with 300 feet of vertical drop, nine switchbacks and speeds of up to 25 miles per hour.
New for the 2018-19 season, Purgatory Resort is offering a free season pass for all children in Fourth Grade or younger, with no blackout dates
See page D5
all other nights?” I’ll tell him, again, “You’ve got the wrong holiday!”
n
This year I have one request for the grandchildren: I know that the 3 Thanksgiving T’s are turkeys, “tsegeyt zikh in moyl (Yiddish for “it melts in the mouth”), and TEXTING. But this year, kids, “plz” no texting “2nite” at the Thanksgiving table. Save it for “2moro.” (I can see your thumbs working even when they are in your lap!)
n
Preston, my 8-year-old grandson, will be sure to remind me that it’s only 11 days until Hanukkah.
Marjorie Wolfe wishes all of her readers a “Happy Thanksgiving.” She will be spending the holiday with her family in Greenwich, CT. What is she bringing? The famous staple enjoyed by millions: the green bean casserole. Dorcas Reilly was a Campbell Soup Kitchen supervisor in 1955 when she combined the green bean casserole, the ingredients of the now-legendary dish. Reilly passed away this year but the original recipe was donated to the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2002.

BY TOM MARGENAU
It may surprise some of my readers to learn that about 10 percent of Americans work at jobs that are not covered by Social Security. Usually these are state and local government jobs. Why is that? Because back when Social Security laws were enacted in the 1930s, Congress felt that they could not force a federal pension plan (Social Security) on state and local governments. So they gave them the option of joining Social Security or not. Most did. But some did not. And still today, there are some large groups of employees, such as teachers in some states and police officers and firefighters in other states, who don’t pay into Social Security.
Also, federal government employees were initially not covered by Social Security because they had their own civil service pension system in place. But all federal employees hired since 1984 pay into Social Security. However, there are still some old feds out there (hired before 1984) who are not in Social Security.
Folks who spend the bulk of their careers in jobs not covered by Social Security are potentially subject to a couple of offsets that impact either their own Social Security benefit (based on Social Security-covered work they did outside of their regular job) or any benefits they potentially might be due from their spouse’s Social Security record. There always has been a great deal of confusion and misinformation around those offsets. If you are potentially impacted by these offsets, today’s column will help.
One offset is called the “windfall elimination provision,” or WEP. This is the one that impacts your own Social Security benefit. The other is called the “government pension offset,” or GPO, and it reduces any spousal benefits you might be due.
The key to understanding the WEP provision is to realize that the word “social” in Social Security means something. Unlike private and other public sector pension plans, there are social goals built into the Social Security program. One of those goals is to raise the standard of living of lower-income workers in retirement. This is accomplished through a benefit formula that is designed to give lower-paid workers a better deal than their higher-paid counterparts. Very low-paid workers could get a Social Security benefit that represents up to 90 percent of their earnings. This percentage is known as a “replacement rate.” People with average incomes (the middle class) generally get a 40 percent replacement rate. Higherincome people get a rate around 30 percent.
The problem is that people who spend the bulk of their working lives not paying into Social Security are treated as low-income people by the Social Security
YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY
Public Employee Offsets
Administration’s computers. That’s because there are “zeros” on their Social Security earnings record for every year they spent in their non-Social Security job. SSA’s records won’t show that they were working another job and earning another pension. Instead, their Social Security earnings record shows gaps in their work history. So when figuring their Social Security retirement benefit, SSA’s computers automatically use the formula intended to compensate a lower-income person.
But teachers, police officers, firefighters and other government employees generally can be classified as people with average incomes, so they should get the same Social Security replacement rate paid to all middle-class workers. That’s why a modified formula is used to refigure their benefits and give them the proper -- and fair -- replacement rate. If you’re an employee impacted by this law, that modified formula takes you from the 90 percent (poor person’s) replacement rate to the 40 percent (middle-class person’s) replacement rate, thus reducing estimated benefits by about half.
Most career teachers and government employees have just barely over the qualifying 40 quarters (10 years) of Social Security covered work. But if you have 30 or more years of “substantial” Social Security earnings, the windfall provision won’t apply and your benefit will not be reduced. If you have between 20 and 29 years of substantial earnings, your Social Security benefit will be only partially reduced. A chart giving a yearby-year breakdown of what the government considers substantial earnings is available at www.socialsecurity.gov/ pubs/10045.html.
The other rule that so many people misunderstand is the government pension offset. In a nutshell, that law says that an amount equal to two-thirds of a non-Social Security-covered pension must be deducted from any Social Security dependent’s benefits a person might be due. In effect, the law prevents most folks who work at jobs not covered by Social Security from collecting benefits as a wife, widow, husband, or widower from a spouse’s Social Security record.
What these people don’t realize is that the government pension offset law simply treats them in the same way that all other working people have always been treated. For example, if a woman who worked at a job that was covered by Social Security gets a Social Security retirement pension, that pension has always offset any spousal benefits she might have been due. Before the GPO law went into effect, people getting a non-Social Security pension were the only working people in this country who could get their own retirement pension AND a full dependent’s benefit from Social Security.
And the GPO law actually gives these people a bit of a break. Social Security retirement pensions offset spousal benefits dollar for dollar. But a non-Social Security retirement pension causes only a three-for-two offset. In other words, for each $3 you get in a teacher’s or other non-covered pension, you lose only $2 from Social Security spousal benefits.
Over the years, many public employees have been led to believe that these
offsets single them out for reductions in Social Security benefits. I hope today’s column helps them realize that is not the case. The offsets simply ensure that everyone eligible for Social Security benefits is treated fairly and in the same way.
If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has the answer. Contact him at thomas.margenau@comcast.net.

"Colon Cancer Awareness 2018"
Northwell Health will host a community lecture by Dr. Shirley Shih on “Colon Cancer Awareness: 2018” at the Jericho Public Library on December 5 at 7:00 p.m. Admission is free.
March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month, and colon cancer is the third most common cancer afflicting all Americans regarding of age, gender or race. In fact, the incidence and prevalence of colon cancer is increasing in younger and younger populations. Join us for an informative talk from Northwell Health Colorectal Surgeon, Dr. Shirley Shih, in anticipation of colon cancer awareness month on how to prevent, diagnose and treat this disease.
Dr. Shih grew up locally in Jericho where her parents still reside. She graduated from Jericho HS and went to Stanford University where she completed a Bachelor of Arts in human biology. This was followed by medical school back east at Albany Medical College. She completed surgical residency at George Washington University Hospital. Dr. Shih completed a year of colorectal research in Weston, FL at the Cleveland Clinic and then proceeded to finish a year of clinical colorectal fellowship at Indiana University. She practiced in the suburbs of Philadelphia for 7 years before returning home to Long Island to join Northwell Health as a board certified colorectal surgeon.
On October 13, Syosset Library joined with other Long Island libraries in the second annual Great Give Back, an event begun last year in Suffolk County that rapidly spread to Nassau. The mission of the Give Back is to provide a day of opportunities for library visitors to participate in meaningful, service-oriented activities.
At Syosset, children of all ages made cards and craft kits for hospitalized children, and teens made tote bags that they filled with canned goods to donate to a food pantry. For more information about Syosset Library programs and services, visit the library at 225 South Oyster Bay Road or www.syossetlibrary.org, or call 516-921-7161.

Brownies work toward technology badges at Syosset Library
Brownies with Sharon Long, head of Young Adult Services, in Creation Station at Syosset Library.
Brownies from Scout Troop 3412 recently visited the Syosset Public Library to complete the requirements for their technology badges. They received a tour of Creation Station, where they learned about 3D printers and 3D software, and each girl received her own brown and green 3D badge to take home. Creation Station is equipped with two 3D printers and two Apple computers. Users typically print their designs through Thingiverse. com, a website dedicated to the sharing of user-created digital design files. There is also a Cricut smart-cutting machine perfect for precision paper-cutting projects. Creation Station is available to Syosset Library cardholders. For more information, visit the library or call 516-921-7161.

MIYJCC explores expanding aging-in-place services
The Mid-Island Y JCC is proud to receive state funding to offer innovative aging-inplace programs and services within Plainview and Old Bethpage. The agency is in the process of preparing to apply for funding to bring similar programs and services to neighborhoods within Syosset. Neighborhood Naturally Occurring Retirement Community (NNORC) programs provide services to help residents in neighborhoods with high concentrations of older adults to successfully age-in-place in their own homes. Program services are developed from the groundup, based on assessment of the needs of the local community. Services provided in the Mid-Island Y JCC’s current NNORC programs include volunteer-based transportation to local medical appointments and shopping, social work services for emotional support and access to benefits, volunteer-based minor home repair, and community health nursing. The Mid-Island Y JCC is hoping to secure funding to bring these or other services (selected based on the feedback of Syosset seniors) to neigh-
borhoods within Syosset that demonstrate a high level of need.
“Protecting our seniors should be at the forefront of the priority list for policy makers across Long Island,” said Joshua A. Lafazan, Nassau County Legislature. “I’m proud to stand with the Mid Island Y as they continue to endeavor to provide critical services for our senior citizens.”
To help us make the case for state funding, as well as to develop a menu of services specific to the needs of Syosset seniors, we are asking as many local seniors as possible to complete a Senior Needs Assessment Survey and return it to the Mid-Island Y JCC. The survey is being mailed to the homes of seniors in the Syosset area. Please contact Alana Rosenstein at (516) 8223535, ext. 385 if you have not received a survey, would like the survey administered by telephone instead of in writing, require a large-print copy of the survey, or would like the survey administered in another language.
Please call Alana at (516) 822-3535, ext. 385 for more information.

I owe a giant THANK YOU to all my clients and customers past, present and future! May the Holiday Season bring you happiness and joy.
“Barbara – the process of buying or selling a home, if done well, begins with magic. For this to happen, one needs a broker who is totally committed and dedicated to your needs, hopes and dreams. Such a magician is YOU! You make all the stress and frustration disappear and replace it with trust and confidence leading to a successful sale. Bravo, Barbara!” Andrea E.
“…Barbara – your professionalism, knowledge and confidence were so helpful in making this a much more bearable experience than it would have been without you. Your understanding of the marketplace also helped us in our desires to achieve full value for our home.” Ruth G.
“Dear Barbara – a note of thanks for the wonderful job you did selling my house, and so quickly! It scares me to think how much more difficult it might have been had I signed with a realtor other than you. When I first met with realtors my brother was at my home. When you left, he said to me ‘I don’t know what other realtors you spoke with, but that lady knows her stuff.” Vincent D.
