BY GARY SIMEONE The healing power of cold has been around since the dawn of time and if you’re in pain and able to handle temperatures of -240 degrees below zero than CryoFit in Syosset might be for you. The business located off of Robbins Lane offers three minute whole body cryotherapy sessions in a makeshift sauna and eight minute localized pain management sessions.

Alex Tsimikalis, business owner of CryoFit, said that he first got into the business after seeing professional athletes benefit from using it.

“Initially I heard about it after seeing how it helps professional athletes on television and I also saw an episode on Shark Tank about the product,” said Tsimikalis. “In the last few years the technology has been made much more available for the general public.”

He said that he and his two other business partners opened the location last July after seeing a need for it to help people with all sorts of pain management including various sports injuries, arthritis and generalized inflammation.

It is also helpful for other chronic conditions such as people suffering from autoimmune and rheumatic diseases.

At the time he was one of two locations on the Island offering the service and now there 6 or 7 other locations that have opened.

There are two machines at CryoFit which offer pain management sessions for the whole body and for localized treatment for specific body parts including knees, ankles and elbows .

“We use a tube that sprays out liquid nitrogen at temperatures of 180 degrees below zero on any specific body body part for the localized treatment,” said Tsimikalis. “This is an eight to ten minute process and we rotate around the specific area to help with the swelling and inflammation and we can even do facials to help with collagen regrowth and cell regeneration.”

He said that the whole body treat-

ment requires a person to stand inside an enclosed sauna, called a cryo chamber, for a total of three minutes. People are advised to wear gloves and socks while in the chamber to prevent against frostbite.

“The temperature inside the sauna goes down to -240 degrees and it will almost cause a flight or fight response within the body. Blood will rush to your core and your skin temperature can drop to 30 to 40 degrees below its normal temperature.”

The whole thing may sound daunting but Tsimikalis said the process will help to reoxidize the blood bringing new blood flow to the extremities and help reduce overall inflammation.

Cryotherapy was originally developed by a Japanese doctor in 1978 to help ease the pain of rheumatoid arthritis but it has regained popularity in recent years.

“The first two weeks of Cryotherapy are the crucial ones,” said Tsimikalis . “People need to come in at least 3 to 6 times during those first two weeks to gain any real benefit from the process. From that point on there can be a maintenance period where they come in periodically to help deal with their pain management.”

He said that his clients have ranged from long distance marathon runners to people who work out in the gym once or twice a week. NBA basketball player, Tobias Harris, who is a Long Island native has come in for treatment and Plainview resident, Jay Asparro, who ran 90 miles last November in a race for Alzheimer’s is a regular client.

On March 19th, CryoFit will be holding a fundraiser to benefit local foundations and sports teams including the Plainview Warriors and local lacrosse leagues. There will pricing specials and kids aged 13-18 are invited with a guardian to come and give Cryotherapy a try.

Recently, three seventh grade students from Jericho Middle School, Evelyn Zhu, Wesley Wang and Joshua Dong, won the 2016 National Scholastic Grade Championships, 7th Grade Division, beating Columbia Grammar Prep School and Princeton Charter School by a big margin. On the individual side, Evelyn and Wesley shared the Co-Champion title.

This is a back-to-back feat for the three of them as a team, and Wesley as an individual. In December 2015, the three of them won the 6th Grade Team Champion title and Wesley won the 6th Grade Division Champion. This national championship title is Evelyn’s first individual one and her third team one. Wesley has three national individual titles and three team ones on his resume.

This year’s event was held at Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center, Nashville, TN

between December 16th - December 18th.

It attracted 1560 players from 40 states. 142 players competed in 7th Grade Division, and 20 teams tried hard for this team title.

At the same event, Wesley picked up his team jacket and plaque, awarded to all the 2017 All-America Chess Team members. The All-America Chess Team was created in 1987 to honor the very best players ages 18 and under.

The team, one of the highest national honors attainable by a young chess player, is selected on the basis of age, rating, and activities during that year, similar to the selection process of “all conference” sports teams. This year, 68 players have made to the honor roll.

Three juniors from Jericho High School, Warren Wang, Oliver Liu and Brian Fong, won the 4th place in 11th Grade Division of the same tournament.

On view at the Syosset Public Library Art Gallery: Case Jernigan, Cut Paper Artist Mar. 6 – Mar. 31, 2017 Case Jernigan’s cut paper art will be exhibited in the library’s art gallery from Mar. 6 through Mar. 31. Open to the public.

A graduate of William & Mary, Case Jernigan began his professional career as a high school teacher… but his heart belonged to drawing. He moved to the East Village and attended the New York Studio School to pursue his art.

He began to play with paper, with shape and layering and accumulation.

Early influences upon his drawing as a child came back to him. Cross section picture books, early studies of Greek mythology, classic video games, animation on Saturday mornings, and comic books. He decided to make his paper figures move.

He works in East Williamsburg. He has made cutouts for the New York Times, a mural for Adidas, and prints

for fashion brands like Kate Spade and Fairplay. He’s crafted stop-motion and drawing based animations for soccer teams like Chelsea FC, The LA Galaxy, and the Portland Timbers. With his buddy and soccer teammate, Josh Giunta, they formed Make Savvy, a small but friendly animation and sound company. They’ve teamed up to make work for The Guardian, Nike, and Juventus FC. Their videos have been featured as Vimeo Staff Picks.

JJC students learn about Bar Mitzvah

Jericho Jewish Center 7th grade students learned about the Bar Mitzvah ritual items of tallit (prayer shawl) and tefillan, as well as the special blessings recited when they are put on, and they practiced wearing them. They also practiced carrying a Torah, Hagbah (lifting the Torah) and G’lilah (tying the Torah). Finally they learned where to stand when they recite their Aliyah (blessing when they are called up to the Torah). Join us at Jericho Jewish Center Religious School to gain these synagogue skills and more!

Four Friends and a Babymoon Travel California’s Highway 1 Discovery Route

BY DAVE E. LEIBERMAN, LAINI MIRANDA, MAYA KESSEL, ANDREW KESSEL

“For three days we have called Morro Bay home while we explored the quaint fishing village packed with water activities and amazing food, and visited nearby attractions including Hearst Castle and the Elephant Seal Rookery on Piedras Blancas (s outh along what has come to be known as the CA Highway 1 Discovery Route, a scenic 101-mile stretch of Highway 1 along Coastal San Luis Obispo County, from Ragged Point to the dunes of Nipomo, with scores of picturesque villages, uncrowded beaches, state parks and wilderness areas, and bountiful wine regions.

Our destination is Avila Beach, an inlet cove off the Pacific that features several piers, a fabulous beach, golf course and a great wine trail in downtown Avila, hidden among the restaurants and shops.

We make it to Kelsey See Canyon Vineyard just before sunset. Through an unintended series of adoptions years back, over 200 peacocks now roam the winery. This is not your typical wine tour stop and we suggest budgeting extra time for Kelsey. The Vineyard is family owned and these are some of the friendliest and most welcoming hosts you’ll meet anywhere.

If you are not into wine, come for the art or the newly developing hard cider production. During much of the year the family hosts local musicians and barbecues on site for local patrons and club members, taking advantage of their spacious outside seating area. Over the

Scenic Pismo Beach on California’s Highway 1 Discovery Route (photo by Laini Miranda/Travel Features years this place has grown with both membership sales and local popularity and is bustling when we visit during the off peak season.

This is truly a family business in all senses. They’ll make you feel so at home you won’t want to leave. The roots of their story about how they got into wine go way back. Originally the family was involved with abalones and through

a series of industry transformations they became wine producers. Colleen, the Kelseys’ niece, is an artist whose latest endeavors include jazz-inspired paintings which often appear on the wine bottles. Her most iconic piece – referencing the family roots of deep sea abalone diving and her love of mermaids, originally painted on a surfboard – is the Kelsey signature.

G O I N G P L A C E S N E A R A N D F A R

Leading our tour is Jac Jacobs, an industry veteran who’s worked at many vineyards, but has found what seems like a second family here at Kelsey. Jac is the most down-to-earth, knowledgeable winemaker we’ve ever met. You will leave feeling like you can explain wine to others without sounding pretentious.

One of the most amazing things

about Jac is that he had never had cider before starting to work for Kelsey. But when they asked him to make cider he said, “Sure.” He used his novel approach and invented a new cider. Typically, the sweetness in cider comes from the apple’s natural fermentation process, but early on, Jac adds a little bit of sugar to the mixture, creating a unique cider that is neither too sweet or too bitter. When it comes to apples, Kelsey is most known for their Golden Delicious Chardonnay, a crisp white wine that is dangerously drinkable.

Although the heart of this operation is at their winery in Avila, their online shop lets you enjoy Kelsey wines from other parts of the country as well.

(Kelsey See Canyon Vineyard, 1947 See Canyon Road San Luis Obispo, CA 93405 www.KelseyWine.com) After our wine and cider tasting at Kelsey, we check into The Sycamore Mineral Springs Resort & Spa, the perfect destination for a relaxing and romantic getaway and our babymoon. Each guest room and suites features a terrace with its own mineral springs hot tub. On a cool winter night, it’s a perfect way to unwind from an active day. We stay in “Heavenly”, a 2-bedroom, 2-bath Suite. There is one queen bedroom and an even larger master bedroom with ensuite bathroom, both with access to the private terrace. The setup is perfect for a family or (in our case) for two couples. The living room is spacious and comfortable with a large modern flat

screen TV and electronic fireplace to help set the mood. The large table in the dining area is a nice place to share a dinner and really makes you feel like you’re home. If you do decide to cook, this suite offers a fully equipped kitchen with a large wooden cutting board even built into the countertop.

The Sycamore is just a few steps away from the Avila Valley Barn and a quick 4-minute drive from some incredible restaurants on the beach.

The Sycamore is a destination for both locals and tourists. It has a Yoga Dome with daily fitness classes included with your reservation. If you want to bump it up a notch, treat yourself at their award winning spa. For daytime guests, there are also 23

open-air naturally heated mineral spring hot tubs on the hillside around the property, as well as a private Oasis Waterfall Lagoon, all rentable by the hour. If you end up renting Pedego bikes nearby, this would be an idyllic pit-stop. The gift shop is worth a quick look and accompanies the relaxing paradise perfectly.

chefs and iterations of the menu before it found its current niche, which seems to hit all the right notes. This is one of a few local high-end places that is both accessible to locals and tourists.

Everything we try is delectable and we’ll tell you exactly what to order. The Brussel sprouts are crispy, roasted just perfectly to a slight char and accompanied by a balsamic reduction, goat cheese, and orange sauce. If you don’t love Brussel sprouts this could change your mind. The mussels are another not-to-be-missed appetizer with a garlicky broth that may make you want to lick the shell when no one’s looking and grab more of the focaccia bites to dip in. The basil pesto risotto with burrata (to which we add shrimp), is succulent and not your everyday risotto. Since we skip the salad

this time, we opt for the side of pan roasted garlic broccolini.

Our helpful waiter Jake recommends the scallops. Scallops and calamari are two local favorites we see at many of the restaurants in the area. The Normand wood fired white pizza with brie, sliced apples, arugula, and garlic cream sauce had us licking our fingers. The local Morro Bay blackened cod with miso-glaze and Thai-inspired sauce and salad is incredibly flavorful. The texture is perfectly flakey and this is possibly the best fish we have on the entire trip.

But now, as far as the best anything anywhere, we’ll tell you about the desert.

Eating the brown butter chocolate chip skillet cookie with ice cream and hot fudge is a race against time; from the moment

you smell it coming out of the kitchen to the 60 seconds before you get to the last bite (because you will eat it that fast).

Save room. The combination of hardened chocolate shell on top of the creamy, cold pure vanilla ice cream on a sizzling freshly baked chocolate chip cookie is perfect. As we finish our dessert Jake comes by and asks: “Should I load you up another?” If your waiter asks you this, the obvious answer is yes. We almost finish the second one before our friend makes it back to the table.

This is a family friendly restaurant perfect for foodie families. We see a number of children during our visit who may actually be convinced to eat their vegetables here. Definitely bring a bottle or two of wine from Kelsey Vineyards up the

road which pairs great for the meal. Like most restaurants in this area you can bring the wine from your recent wine tasting and for a small corkage fee have your waiter pair your dinner with your own bottle(s).

At Ocean Grill, you can eat in the more casual bistro area near the bar or enter into the more intimate dining enclosed porch area overlooking the ocean with heat lamps to keep you cozy in the winter. We enjoy a nice stroll on the beach after dinner seconds away while listening to the waves crash against the shore. It is the perfect ending to a perfect meal.

The terminology changes that affect us every day

BY CLAIRE LYNCH When I started working full-time in 1977, certain things didn’t exist. Cell phones, fax machines, smart phones, Google and smart watches weren’t around.

In the 1980s the Internet was being tinkered with but it took a recognizable form thanks to computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee when he invented the World Wide Web in 1990. It went global in August 1991.

To tell you the truth that name Tim Berners-Lee doesn’t sound familiar to me but “www” does and so does the “Net” and “Internet.” So many changes have taken place since the early 90s!

Facebook started in 2004 and this “new social media” has changed millions of lives. High school and college friends have reconnected. We can post photos and messages or send private “Instant Messages” if we like with the simple press of a button.

Just to give you a few examples, some new terms are: Navigate – The act of moving around the Web by clicking on hypertext links (or paths) that take you from one Web page to another. As you navigate, you move from one computer to another and from one server to another without realizing it.

Cookies – A small file that a web server automatically sends to your personal computer when you browse certain websites. The identifying information they contain includes login credentials including usernames and passwords, shopping cart information and preferences. They’re stored as text files on your hard drive so servers can access them when you return to websites you’ve visited before.

Hot Spot – This term refers to places that have wireless Internet connections. Many national and local retailers, especially coffee shops, are adding wireless hot spots to provide the tech-savvy another reason to stop in and spend some money and some time.

“Altwork” Station – Now you can

sit, stand or recline while focusing on your laptop or computer monitor. It looks like a dental chair and can be maneuvered just as easily. I’m used to perching myself on a computer chair in front of my computer monitor but now there are so many alternatives!

Artificial Intelligence – Defined as a branch of computer science dealing with the simulation of intelligent behavior in computers and the capability of a machine to imitate intelligent human behavior. This is another thing that scientists have been working on for decades but this branch of computer science is becoming more and more commonplace in our society. Robots can pick up things, move things, etc.

A good example is a robot being programmed to fetch items in a huge warehouse – or conversely, to stock things in a warehouse. The concept of making computers behave like humans has been around for a long time because there are many tasks that robots can do 24/7.

Cache – Is a data storing technique that provides the ability to access data or files at a higher speed. A very common example of caching is in a Web browser, where a website’s HTML, images, CSS, Javascript, etc. is cached locally so that a page will load faster after its first hit.

Firewall – Is software used to maintain the security of a private network.

Firewalls block unauthorized access to or from private networks and are often employed to prevent unauthorized Web users or illicit software from gaining access to private networks connected to the Internet. It could be implemented using hardware, software, or a combination of both. A firewall is the first line of defense in securing sensitive information.

Traffic – The amount of people who visit a website. I always instinctively thought of traffic as snarls on the Long Island Expressway or the Northern State Parkway but in computer terms, it’s different.

Download – The term “download”

technically means receiving information from the Internet to an individual local computer. The information could be in the form of a text file, upgrade, movie, music, etc.

Piracy – The unauthorized copying of software. Most programs are licensed for use at just one computer or by only one user at any time. When you buy software, you become a licensed user and are allowed to make copies of the program for backup purposes. You are not the owner of the software, however, and it is against the law to give copies to friends or colleagues. A pirate is someone who does this although in prior years whenever I heard the word “pirate” I naturally thought of Johnny Depp in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies.

Bootstrap – Bootstrap is the process of loading a set of instructions when a computer is first turned on or booted. During the start-up process, diagnostic tests are performed such as the power-on self-test that set or check configurations for devices and implement routine testing for the connection of peripherals, hardware and external memory devices. The bootstrap program is then loaded to initialize the operating system. I always thought of the old saying, “You can pull yourself up by your bootstraps,” that is, make a new start. Oh well. What a difference!

Coaxial cable – The primary type of cabling used by the cable television industry and widely used for computer networks, it is more expensive than standard telephone wires but less susceptible to interference and more capable of carrying data. Your cable TV probably is connected with “coaxial cable.”

Javascript – A computer programming language used to create interactive effects within web browsers.

For example, it allows you to perform calculations, write interactive games, add special effects, check forms, create security passwords, customize graphics, and so on. It has become the standard equipment in virtually all web

browsers and is well-suited to a large range of non-web-related applications.

Hosting Servers – The web servers where website files are housed, served and maintained.

Registrar – A company that registers domain names, like GoDaddy or domains.google.com.

HTML – “Hyper-text markup language.” The language used to direct the architecture of your website, landing pages, and emails. HTML lays out the structure of your website, from the title and first header, to a bulleted list, to your footer.

Bandwidth – The technical definition of “bandwidth” involves the difference between two frequencies and the amount of information that can flow through a channel, as expressed in cycles per second (hertz). It also refers to the range of frequencies (not the speed), or the measured amount of information, that can be transmitted over a connection: the higher the frequency, the higher the bandwidth and the greater the capacity of a channel to carry information. For a digital channel, bandwidth is defined in bits per second (bps). For an analog channel, it is dependent on the type and method of modulation used to encode the data.

Broadcast TV channels, for example, all have the same bandwidth, by FCC rule.

Defrag – Short for defragmentation.

To optimize your hard drive, usually with a program that “cleans it up” and makes it run as smoothly as possible.

If you’ve ever made a return visit to a website like Amazon and seen content tailored to your user preferences that’s because on your first visit, a cookie was installed. When you came back, the website server read your cookie and recognized you. (blog.hubspot.com) Interface – It is the portion of a program that interacts between a user and an application, meaning it is what you see on the computer screen. It usually refers to “user interface,” which consists of the set of operating system See page D5

More Questions About the Earnings Penalty

BY TOM MARGENAU

In a recent column, I explained to readers who are under 66 and working how they could work with Social Security’s complicated earnings penalty rules to avoid the oftentimes nightmarish bureaucratic hassles involved in dealing with the Social Security Administration on these antiquated laws. (Rather than rehash the whole story, I suggest that readers who missed the column from a week before last go to their newspaper’s online archives to find it -- or go to my syndicate’s website: www.creators.com.)

I should have predicted the reaction from two sources. A few current or former Social Security Administration employees criticized me. And many regular readers of the column thanked me and had even more questions. First, an example of a complaint from an SSA employee, and then some questions from readers.

Q: I think you are boneheaded and just plain wrong to advise your readers to lie to the Social Security Administration. Your tactics can only lead to problems. Will you please retract your last column?

A: No, I will not retract it. I stand by my advice. And I really didn’t tell my readers to lie to SSA. OK, maybe I advised them to fib a little. Or to be more precise, I encouraged them to delay reporting their earnings to you as long as possible. All the facts eventually get reported to SSA and the government gets the money they are due -- in the form of repaid Social Security benefits. It’s just that under my plan, it all happens at one time, as opposed to the piecemeal approach that regular SSA procedures call for.

Q: I am a 64-year-old retiree who took a job last year and got tangled up in a web of Social Security overpayment letters and appeals and returned checks and other hassles. I wish I would have read your column before I got into this mess. That’s water under the bridge now. But can you please tell me why we are penalized in the first place if we try to work?

A: If Donald Trump calls me up and asks me to be the “King of Social Security,” the very first thing I would do is eliminate the earnings penalty rules that plague working senior citizens under age 66. Here is a little bit of history.

When Social Security was enacted in 1935, the law said benefits could only be paid if someone was completely retired.

I guess the thinking was that you must be fully retired in order to get “retirement” benefits.

In the 1950s, they relaxed the rules a bit and said people 75 and older could do some minimal work and keep their Social Security checks. In 1972, the law was amended so that people 72 and older

could get all their benefits, no matter how much money was made. In 1981, they dropped that threshold age to 70.

And in 1993, they lowered it to “full retirement age” (currently age 66).

But the antiquated earnings penalty rules remain in effect for anyone between age 62 and 66. If those working seniors make more than about $17,000 annually, they start to lose some or all of their benefits. Why? Or to expand that question a bit: Why make senior citizens getting Social Security benefits who want to work and make a little extra money live in fear of losing their government retirement checks?

If you, too, think that is a good idea, send President Trump a tweet and tell him to make me the Social Security King!

Q: I have worked all my life. I am about to turn 62, and I am thinking of applying for my Social Security.

But my husband is still working and making a six-figure income. Because we file a joint tax return, will his income reduce my Social Security benefits?

A: No it won’t. Your benefits are potentially reduced only if YOU work and have income that exceeds $16,920 per year. Your husband’s income is not an issue when it comes to Social Security’s earnings penalty rules.

Q: I am 62 years old. I was planning to stop working on March 31 and start my Social Security in April. But my employer is giving me a generous severance package that includes six months of remuneration -- and they will pay it in monthly increments until October.

So does that mean I might as well wait until November to apply for my Social Security benefits?

A: No. If you want your Social Security checks to start in April, then go ahead and apply for them now to be effective that month.

The only income that counts towards the earnings penalty rules is income that you earn while actively working.

So any special payments you get after you retire do not count towards those earnings penalty limits. This could be severance pay, as in your situation. Or it might be compensation such as accumulated sick or vacation pay distributed to you after you retire.

Q: I am 64 and I get Social Security widow’s benefits. I am thinking of taking a job. Do the earnings penalty rules apply to me, or just to retirees?

A: The same rules that apply to retirees also apply to all other Social Security beneficiaries, including widows. So if you find a job that pays more than $16,920, you will lose one dollar in benefits for each two dollars you make over that threshold. And it’s gross earnings that count -- not your take home pay.

commands, graphical display formats, and other features designed for use on a computer or a program.

McLuhanism – A term for a catchy phrase or slogan coined by Marshall McLuhan, popular writer and intellectual thinker during the digital revolution. He said, “the medium is the message,” meaning that the form of media has a greater impact on society than the content. Another McLuhanism is “the global village.”

Opt-out – Whenever you ask to be removed from any kind of online program, he or she is said to be “opting out.” For example, if you no longer want to receive an e-mail newsletter, you have the ability to opt-out. Note that there is a difference between opting out and unsubscribing. You may only unsubscribe to something you have previously subscribed to, but you may optout of something you have never even joined in the first place. For example, if you fill out an online form to register or sign up for something, you may see a “yes” automatically checked in a radio button to indicate that you wish to receive something. Unless you manually uncheck the yes, you will be added to some kind of marketing list.

Did you ever see the movie “The Social Network” about Mark Zuckerberg and the founding of Facebook? In the movie, people kept saying “he’s wired in” or “they’re wired in” over and over again in reference to people coding intensely with their headphones on.

Not knowing anything about programming, I always imagined that being “wired in” meant the programmers were somehow listening to the computers, or that they were connected to the code somehow or something technical that we lay people wouldn’t get. It turns out that it just meant they were concentrating really hard with headphones on.

Who knew?

This online jargon or techie terms as I like to call them take a little getting used to. Many of them have double meanings – they are regular words and they have a whole different meaning in the computer world. Since I deal with computers every day, it means con-

stantly shifting from regular words to the computer words.

I took my smart phone with me when I went to a local coffee specialty shop.

Sitting down with a cup of latte, I started to navigate or “surf” the web and had the chance to look up some interesting things. I was glad that the store had a hot spot.

I like being able to connect with their WiFi instead of having to use a lot of my minutes. Looking out the window, I saw that the traffic on Jericho Tpke. was getting busy. Thinking ahead, I hoped that when I returned home there would be cookies fresh from the oven.

I wanted to stop at the Registrar’s Office at my local college to ask some questions about classes but I also was thinking about checking with the Registrar for a new domain that I was considering.

Many domains are obvious in terms of what they mean but others are a little more obscure. I could check with GoDaddy or I could meet up with my daddy and go out to lunch with him.

I like having fun with words because after all, words matter! *Thanks to techopedia.com and netlingo.com for many of these techie definitions.

First started in 1985, the Avila Valley Barn is a local favorite for the freshest fruit and vegetables of the area. Not only will you find wonderful fresh produce you can pick up home baked pies, bakery treats or unique gifts. You can visit a farm pet area, where you can feed goats, pigs, horses, sheep, and donkeys. Hayrides are also available every weekend.

(Open daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Avila

Enjoying scenic Pismo Beach on California’s Highway 1 Discovery Route (photo by Dave E. Leiberman/Travel Features Syndicate) Biking the trail is an ideal way to spend a few hours in Avila Beach and get to see both the beach side of the town as well as the hills and natural beauty. At the barn, so many cute farm animals greet you as well as more surprising ones like the emu and strange looking chickens. Shell beach and Pismo Beach is right around the bend, where you can park your bikes and gaze at the beautiful, rugged coastline. If you catch the tide when it’s low, there are various sea creatures like the abalones hanging out in the tidal pools. It’s also fun to watch the surfers splashing around in the cold water in their wetsuits.

After a short ride up the hill and the coast, assisted by the electric batteries, we cross a bridge bringing us to the dock on the Port San Luis Harbor, where people gather to watch the active seals, fish, and enjoy the 360 degree water view. Vendors flayed fresh fish on the dock as we arrived at Mersea’s.

Mersea’s on the Pier in Avila Beach (photo by Dave E. Leiberman/Travel Features Syndicate) We enjoy our fresh seafood lunch at Mersea’s on the Pier and highly recommend this stop when you are in Avila Beach. Atmospherically, it’s a memorable lunch stop. The seals bark and fight for valuable real-estate on the floating dock near this seaside-perched restaurant.

At Mersea’s you order at the window from their extensive menu of seafood, sandwiches, and other local favorites. They had some good looking bloody Mary’s and

beer options as well. If you get the taco’s we recommend the shrimp. The fried oysters and chips were delicious as were the raw oysters, which were bigger than our fists.

It’s a pretty great spot for Instagrammers.

Morro Bay and the Highway 1 Discovery Route, between Los Angeles and San Francisco, are packed with wonderful places that put the emphasis on relaxed adventure over the frenetic pace of their book-ended cities. The tranquility and peacefulness of the California’s central coast offers a level of intimacy that is difficult to find in San Francisco and L.A. The mix of outdoor activity, fine dining, and relaxed pace makes for the perfect getaway for two couples from New York City and Atlanta, whether for a babymoon, a reunion of friends, a romantic getaway, or

Last Hope receives grant to provide free “Trap, Neuter, Release” vouchers Last Hope thanks PET PEEVES (with our collective cat-loving heart) for a generous $12,000 grant so we can offer the public FREE TNR spay/neuter vouchers for feral cats from Feb.13 to May 1.

This grant allows us to be proactive in an attempt to lessen the upcoming kitten season by altering cats before females get pregnant. We’re trying to “Beat the Heat”.

The PET PEEVES funds will help Last Hope to spay/ neuter at least 200 cats. Cat caretakers can apply for the FREE vouchers, beginning Mon, Feb. 13 at the link below

on the Last Hope website: http://lasthopeanimalrescue.org/fix-a-feral/ After May 1, we will be resuming our regular FIXA-FERAL program with discounted TNR vouchers at our participating vets.

Feral cats are our community “shadow” citizens, so often ignored and tormented.

PET PEEVES an advocacy organization for local animal rescues truly is “The Voice of Long Island Pets”. http://petpeeves.org/ Last Hope is so GRATEFUL to PET PEEVES for their continued support of our rescue efforts.

Water commissioners elect new board

At a recent Nassau Suffolk Water Commissioners’ Association (NSWCA) meeting sponsored by the Jericho Water District, the Association elected a new board for the 2017 term, which runs through December 31, 2017. Commissioners Anthony J. Cincotta, Thomas A. Abbate and James Asmus represented the Jericho Water District along with Superintendent Peter F. Logan.

The newly elected NSWCA 2017 board includes: New President Andrew N. Bader of Plainview Water District, who succeeds outgoing President Raymond J. Averna of Massapequa Water District; 1st Vice President Vincent Abbatiello of Westbury Water District; 2nd Vice President Michael F. Rich III of Oyster Bay Water District; Secretary William Schuckmann of Hicksville Water District, and Treasurer Kenneth P. Wenthen Jr. of West Hempstead Water District.

“Residents of Long Island have one of the greatest and most unique aquifer systems in the world, and the NSWCA is dedicated to preserving, conserving and utilizing it for the benefit of all communities,” President Bader stated.

“Sustainability of this greatest natural resource will continue to be a top priority of the NSWCA in 2017. We intend to continue to reach out and, in some cases expand our reach, by educating the public regarding sustainability, conservation, water quality and water production. As always, our efforts will include scientific-based learning and full observance of all regulations for total governmental compliance.”

Pictured from left to right representing Nassau Suffolk Water Commissioners’ Association new 2017 Board are: 2017 Treasurer Kenneth P. Wenthen Jr. of West Hempstead Water District, 2017 2nd Vice President Michael F. Rich III of Oyster Bay Water District; 2017 President Andrew N. Bader of Plainview Water District, who succeeds outgoing President Raymond J. Averna of Massapequa Water District; 2017 1st Vice President Vincent Abbatiello of Westbury Water District; and 2017 Secretary William Schuckmann of Hicksville Water District.

How to avoid late tax payment penalties Oyster Bay Town Receiver of Taxes, James J. Stefanich, reminds residential property owners that it is essential and mandatory to notify his office upon satisfying their mortgage.

In addition, Stefanich encourages residents who recently purchased a home, condominium or co-op unit, or just refinanced or transferred the mortgage on their property, to be sure that notification in writing is sent to James J. Stefanich, Receiver of Taxes, Town of Oyster Bay, 74 Audrey Avenue, Oyster Bay, NY 11771-1539.

“This will ensure that tax bills are received promptly by the homeowner,” Stefanich said. “A homeowner relying on a bank or mortgage company to notify the tax office may find there is a delay in billing the homeowner directly, which can lead to the imposition of a late payment penalty.”

“When writing, property own-

ers should include the legal property description, including the school district, section, block, and lot numbers, as well as the name and address to whom current and future tax bills should be directed. In the case of condominiums, the building and unit number should be noted,” Stefanich said.

Residents may also report their information in person by visiting the Office of the Receiver of Taxes.

The Receiver noted that property owners residing in incorporated villages must also notify their village assessor.

Homeowners requiring further assistance should contact the Office of the Receiver of Taxes at 516-624-6400.

“The knowledgeable and courteous tax information specialists on my staff will be happy to assist you,” concluded Stefanich.

The students at South Grove Elementary were treated to an assembly in January to help them come up with New Year’s resolutions centered around their KPRIDE - Kindness, Patience, Respect, Integrity, Determination, and Empathy. As a special surprise, with help from the South Grove PTA and the South Grove Compact Committee, the school introduced Grover, the

new mascot, through a short movie called Grover’s New Year’s Resolution.

Grover’s search for a resolution emphasizes the importance of character education, something the school sees as a goal for all its students. South Grove plans to continue its focus on KPRIDE throughout the year, and for many years ahead.

The students and staff wait for the introduction of Grover and the start of the school-produced movie

Children’s Magical Music & More Events for March The Town of Oyster Bay’s Children’s Magical Music & More program will feature three excellent performances in March beginning with “Central Park Zoo: Butterfly Boogie,” a musical, interactive performance that counters the common perception of bugs being gross and introduces students to metamorphosis and the interdependence of plants and animals. Butterfly Boogie will be held at the Locust Valley Public Library, located at 170 Buckram Road, Locust Valley on Saturday, March 11 at 2:00 p.m. and is free to all Town residents, Councilwoman Rebecca M. Alesia announced.

“Throughout the year, the Town’s Children’s Magical Music & More program provides quality entertainment to families and children around the Town of Oyster Bay free of charge,” Councilwoman Alesia stated. “Butterfly Boogie is just one of the many Children’s Magical Music & More performances offered by the program this year. Seating is on a firstcome-first-serve basis and each event is recommended for children four years of age and older.”

Councilwoman Alesia went on to say that the second Children’s Magical Music & More performance in March would be face painter Christopher Agostino’s “StoryFaces”. StoryFaces is

an exciting and unusual storytelling show where volunteers are brought on stage and are face painted to illustrate stories as Christopher tells them, captivating the audience with folktales and his uniquely animated original stories.

This performance will take place on Sunday, March 12, at 1:00 p.m. at the Massapequa Public Library located at 40 Harbor Lane, in Massapequa.

The third and final Children’s Magical Music & More performance scheduled for March will be a performance by talented juggler; Jester Jim. Audience members of all ages will be glued to every sound of Jester Jim’s performance. With a trunk full of props and a looping machine, Jester Jim takes the stage and starts his show with an amazing beatbox intro.

Jester Jim is scheduled to perform on Saturday, March 25 at 2:00 p.m. at the Hicksville Public Library, located on 169 Jerusalem Ave, Hicksville.

The Children’s Magical Music & More series is sponsored by the Cultural and Performing Arts (CAPA) Division of the Town of Oyster Bay’s Department of Community & Youth Services. For further information call 797-7900 or visit the Town’s website www.oysterbaytown.com.

THE VIEW FROM HERE

Trump and his enemies

BY BOB MORGAN, JR. If you live in this part of the country, or in California, you will encounter numerous folks holding strong opinions against President Donald Trump. These are people who are fixated on the failures, shortcomings and policy choices of our 45th President. For example, many are convinced that reports of connections between some of Mr. Trump's supporters and Russians will blow up into a scandal of Watergate-like proportions and that Mr. Trump may be impeached and quite possibly will be forced to leave office.

To be sure, Mr. Trump has committed enough unforced errors to provide fodder for opponents who claim that he is untruthful, incompetent or even unhinged. For example, Mr. Trump managed to conflate a Fox News report on crime in Sweden by immigrants with an actual terrorist attack in that country on Friday.

More generally, the rollout of the executive order relating to immigration from seven countries was badly botched, as there was much confusion over whether the order applied to green card holders. (Eventually it was determined that the order, which is now being rewritten after legal setbacks, does not apply to persons with green cards.) Mr. Trump also has a penchant for exaggeration on a variety of subjects from urban crime to the extent of illegal voting.

Nevertheless, I believe that the anti-Trump forces are likely overplaying their hand with the constant demonstrations, all-out opposition in the entertainment industry (and a good deal of the media), high level of partisanship in Congress and social ostracism of Trump supporters, something that blogger Stephen Green describes as keeping the opposition “cranked up to 11”.

It is true that Mr. Trump’s approval ratings are lower than those of other recently inaugurated Presidents at this point in the term, but I believe much of this is related to this total opposition blitz, which is unprecedented in recent years. And there are a number of signs favorable to the President.

First, Mr. Trump retains the strong support (around 90 percent)

he enjoyed in the 2016 election among Republicans. Indeed, a CNN report this week following up on Republican voters, including ones who had been quite skeptical of Mr. Trump during the primary season, indicated that these voters continued to be very supportive of the President, with only a few quibbles about his style.

Yes, this is Mr. Trump’s base, but a path toward a serious crisis for Mr. Trump would likely begin with evidence of loss of support among these core voters.

Second, there is a distinct possibility that overheated rhetoric by opponents of Mr. Trump is losing people who otherwise might be moving away from Mr. Trump. In a piece in The New York Times on Sunday, Sabrina Tavernise describes the effect on moderate conservatives as “chipping away at their middle ground and pushing them closer to Mr. Trump”.

And the people being turned off are not all hard core Republicans. As the piece notes, moderates who lean Republican support Mr. Trump by 70 percent to 20 percent, according to a recent Pew poll.

Could Mr. Trump be impeached or completely lose his support? I suppose he could be impeached if some evidence emerged of direct involvement by Mr. Trump in an actual deal to gain support for his candidacy in exchange for concessions to Russia. Otherwise, not by this Republican House, and Democrats only have limited prospects for the 2018 Congressional elections (for example, Mr. Trump carried 230 House districts).

As for losing his support, I suppose he could if the economy suddenly lurched into recession, or if there were a clearly disastrous foreign policy decision. But there is considerable economic optimism right now, with markets at record highs. It is entirely possible that if times remain good people will simply shrug off Mr. Trump’s blustery personality and occasional policy lurches. At some point, anti-Trump zealots are going to have to put out down their placards and recognize that Mr. Trump is not going anytime soon.

‘Try Hockey for Free’ Program The Town of Oyster Bay, in conjunction with the New York Rangers of the National Hockey League, will once again host a special “Try Hockey for Free Program” on Saturday morning, February 25th from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon at its state-of-the-art Town of Oyster Bay Ice Skating Center located in Bethpage Community Park, 1000 Stewart Avenue, according to Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino.

The event will allow youngsters a unique opportunity to sample the sport of ice hockey. Four morning sessions will be available. Session times are 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon.

Residents can register their child by going to the New York Rangers’ website location for the program at nyrangers. com/tryhockeyforfree.

“Youngsters, under the watchful eye of New York Rangers Hockey Development Team and Town of Oyster Bay instructors, will be provided with equipment to participate in a free clinic, introducing them to the exciting sport of ice hockey,” said Supervisor Saladino. “The session will also give parents the opportunity to assess if the sport of ice hockey is a good fit for their youngster, without making an initial financial commitment.” As part of the program, participants will have an opportunity to meet New York Rangers’ alumni.

The “Try Hockey for Free” program is part of a nationwide effort by USA Hockey to provide youngsters of all economic backgrounds, an opportunity to play hockey. Supervisor Saladino said the New York Rangers have forged a special relationship with the Town of Oyster Bay, making them a premier

partner for its special outreach projects and programs.

“This bond was created over the years, the Town’s top flight facilities and its outstanding youth ice hockey program, is well known for making the sport accessible to participants of all economic backgrounds,” Supervisor Saladino said. “As a direct result of this relationship, special programs like “Try Hockey For Free” are offered here in the Town. The end result is a rare opportunity for participating youngsters to experience the game while sharing the ice with New York Rangers Alumni and members of the New York Rangers Development Team.”

“This is a wonderful opportunity for kids to get the chance to play the greatest game on Earth,” said Rangers legend Adam Graves. “These are kids that might not otherwise be able to experience the game of hockey. They are sure to love it and hopefully this ignites a lifelong passion for the sport.”

The Town of Oyster Bay offers many outstanding programs and events at its Ice Skating Center. “But this event is certainly high on the list in terms of overall excitement,” Supervisor Saladino said. “The New York Rangers have such a huge fan base and an incredible history. It’s quite an honor that their organization has connected with the Town to bring these types of events to our Town residents.” In addition, time will be set aside for photo opportunities and autographs. “I know that hockey enthusiasts will truly enjoy this special morning Supervisor Saladino said. “It’s an event that is sure to create lasting memories for the entire family.”

Syosset Council of PTAs presents special speaker

On January 10, Dr. Stephen Dewey, Neuroscientist at the Feinstein Institute at Northwell Hospital, gave a gripping presentation to our Syosset School District community.

The presentation and discussion was sponsored by the Syosset Council of PTAs Health & Safety Committee.

Attendees learned how alcohol and drug use affects the developing adolescent and the adult brain. A range of drugs from caffeine to methamphetamine, opioids, heroin and other highly addic-

tive drugs, were openly discussed as well. The audience also gained knowledge and confidence to guide their adolescents through the substance abuse discussion. There was a lively Q & A session after the presentation and Dr. Dewey stayed to speak privately to parents. Thank you to Susan Suriel, the Chair of the Syosset Council of PTAs Health & Safety Committee, and committee members for organizing this informative presentation.

BARBARA BUCOVETSKY SELLS HOMES!

THERE MUST BE A REASON...

Thinking of selling? Overwhelmed? Too many decisions to make?

Where to begin? Call me today and let’s plan it out together – I will make the “DIFFICULT” seem “EASY”

“

…We knew we wanted to sell our house, but we had no idea of what had to be done. Barbara taught us the process. She knew every in and out of selling a home. She had recommendations at her fingertips whenever we needed someone to come in to help us, and she knew what help we needed. She guided us every step of the way, answering all our questions and helping us deal with our concerns. Barbara had no concerns.

She only had solutions. But most of all she had a passion for her work that drove her to excel, and it provided us with the comfort of knowing we were in the right hands. Fran & Bob G.
