State moving forward to remediate Grumman pollution plume

REMEMBERING THE FALLEN

BY GARY SIMEONE

In commemoration of Memorial Day, Hicksville Public Schools hosted a variety of activities to honor the men and women in the armed services who made the ultimate sacrifice for America. At East Street Elementary School, students and staff gathered on the front lawn to sing patriotic songs and plant American flags. With parents and community members also in attendance, students also spoke about what Memorial Day means to them. At Hicksville Middle School, the Student Council planted American Flags on the perimeter of the front lawn under the direction of advisers Janice Fitzgerald and Jennifer Presti.

Local resident gets PGA championship invite BY GARY SIMEONE

It has been quite an end to the month for Oyster Bay resident and Head Golf Pro at the Tam O’Shanter Golf Club, Mark Brown. The PGA of America Club professional was recently invited to the Senior PGA championship in Washington DC. The event was held from May 23-28 at the Trump National Golf Club. “It has been a life long dream of mine to participate in this event and now I get the chance

to compete with some of golf’s greatest players,” said Brown, who is one of 35 PGA professional’s from across the United States who qualified for the Senior championship. It was not an easy road for the long time golfer, who has previously played in six PGA championship’s and one PGA Tour event. In order to qualify for the Senior championship, he had to beat out 140 other golfers in a local qualifying event and beat

out 314 people in a national tournament that took place last November in Port St. Lucie Florida. “Out of 314 there were 35 spots available to qualify for the Senior championship,” said Brown. “I had to play some of the best golf of my life in order to try and qualify for the event.” The Senior PGA championship requires participants to be fifty years of age or older and Brown just made the cut after See page 19

Bethpage High School was host to another public hearing on the Grumman Navy plume remediation plan on Wednesday, May 24. The meeting was a question and answer format and focused on the scientific evidence and testimony from experts in groundwater contamination. Oyster Bay Town Supervisor, Joe Saladino attended the hearing as well as Nassau County Legislator’s Rose Walker, James Kennedy and Steven Rhoads. New York State DEC Deputy Commissioner, Martin Brand was also part of the meeting. “Tonight we have state and local experts to update us on the scope of the plume and to also give some history and science behind the plume,” said Town Supervisor, Saladino. “Bringing this panel together demonstrates how serious we are about cleaning up the plume.” Saladino said a bill is currently being looked at in the State Assembly regarding the use of hydraulic containment to corral the plume. “New York State is moving forward building infrastructure around the plume and getting rid of the contaminants and toxins in it.” Deputy Commissioner, Brand, said that State Governor, Andrew Cuomo, directed the DEC to do an extensive engineering study on the plume and figure out options to try and hydraulically contain the advancement of it. “By October we should have preliminary results from our modeling and by early 2018, we should be in a position to ask Northrop Grumman and the Navy to pay what they are responsible for.” Michael Boufis, Superintendent of Bethpage Water District, followed up on the Deputy Commissioner’s statement by saying that since Northrop Grumman left the area, they have been tough to get reimbursement from. “We had a past financial agreement with the Navy and Grumman on Plants 4,5 and 6 at the water district,” said Boufis. “On one of our plants we are suing Grumman for $10 million in financial expenses and we are not going to build Plant number six until the Navy agrees to deposit money for it.” In the question and answer portion of the hearing, one resident said that the back and forth between the water district and Grumman and the Navy had been going for decades and See page 19

Zeus (Ben Morselli) with students at John. F. Kennedy Middle School

Zeus retires at John F. Kennedy MS

For the ninth consecutive year, sixth-graders in Monica Klein’s social studies classes at John F. Kennedy Middle School in the Bethpage School District decided which god, goddess or hero would become the new ruler of Mount Olympus when Zeus, played by Mrs. Klein’s father Ben Morselli, retires from the throne. Each student dressed the part of their chosen god and gave a speech that highlighted why they deserved to be the new ruler of Mount Olympus.

In addition to the speech, students were asked to engage in a debate among the gods where each could question their competitors’ eligibility. After all of the speeches and debating was complete, fellow classmates, together with Zeus, determined who would be the next ruler of Mount Olympus. This unique activity reinforces the curriculum on ancient Greek history, and strengthens persuasive speech and oral communication skills.

There were squeals of delight as Lee Road third-grade students in Levittown attended an assembly with Nature Nick and his amazing animals. Nature Nick introduced the stu-

dents to an albino kangaroo, eagle owl, monkey, armadillo, flamingo, African pigmy hedgehog, snake and turtle. The assembly reinforced and introduced new facts about animal habitats in the grasslands,

desert, rain forests, ocean and ecosystems currently being studied in the classroom. The students also learned that each animal has a role in the world, thus building a better environment.

Celebrating decades & decades of fantastic photography BY CLAIRE LYNCH As luck would have it, I have been working full-time for 40 years and one of the things that I have done on each job is use a camera. I was never hired as a photographer per se – I was hired as a writer, assistant, manager, etc. – and my first full-time job out of college was as a public relations assistant for a non-profit Long Island hospital. When I wrote my stories for newsletters, my boss and I agreed that some accompanying photos would be great. So I grabbed a camera, snapped away and submitted some cute pieces. My second full-time job was as a public relations manager for a nonprofit hospital in Greenwich Village, Manhattan, and the same thing happened – my boss and I agreed that if I brought a camera along when covering my stories, it would add to the piece. Although I have my degree in English, what I discovered along the way is that one or two great photos can tell a story just as well (or almost as well?) as the words can. They are two very different modalities – stories and photos – and each one has its strengths. I also approach each one a little bit differently. Along with my assortment of published stories I’ve got a small collection

of cameras that I really enjoy. All of those cameras are ones that I’ve used so for me, they have lots of memories. Technological changes over time have been great and cameras are lighter than ever - which makes them easier for carrying around and traveling with on planes – and their sharpness makes for a great print that can last a long time. Polaroid cameras, SLR cameras, pocket-sized digital cameras and now cell phone cameras are quite handy. Cameras have their place (when no other camera is available) but my favorite these days is the digital camera because it’s pocket sized. When I was a child, I thought that Polaroid cameras were fantastic because I could take pictures and the photos would pop out instantly. I thought it was pretty magical. For months I kept after my parents to get me a Polaroid camera for my birthday and finally, when I least expected it, I got it for my tenth birthday. That present made my day! Whenever my grandparents came from Brooklyn and visited us in Rockville Centre, I’d ask one of my sisters or brothers to snap some pictures of my grandparents and me – or of several of us Lynches – and we would stand up straight, smile (or giggle) and

pose for the camera. Then, after waiting a few minutes for them to dry, we would all look at the prints. We’d smile and laugh at the images before us, knowing that just a few minutes prior we had posed for the photo. I’d give some of them as a present to take home, and sure enough months later I’d find them standing on top of their TV stand or on top of their bureau and of course that told me that they enjoyed looking at them, too. The next summer when I was 11 my mom asked me if I wanted to take any voluntary summer school classes for fun at our local public school. At first I was a little taken aback about taking a summer school class but she assured me that it would only be for about two hours in the morning and every afternoon we could go swimming as a family. After poring over the catalog of classes being offered that summer, I immediately said yes when I saw an “introduction to photography” class. The course description said that the instructor would explain about photography and we would be able to develop our very own pictures. The photography class appealed to me because not only did the instructor go over black and white vs. color photos, composition, lighting, framing, etc.,

he showed us how to develop our own pictures in a darkroom. This was in the 1960s when many people developed their own film. I didn’t think I’d look forward to taking a summer school class but I did and I really enjoyed it. Developing my very own pictures was thrilling and comparing notes with my classmates and the instructor was fun, too. When I went home and asked my parents if I could set up a darkroom in our den, my parents said yes but after a few months they got tired of having the chemicals, photo paper and other materials hanging around. I had taken over the entire den and if I could have, I would have taken over the entire house and made it into a darkroom and a place to hang my final prints on a clothesline. My pictures were mostly of my friends, neighborhood pets, flowers and my relatives – portrait shots and group shots. I guess my mom saw the writing on the wall in terms of where this was going so she nipped it in the bud and actually, I couldn’t say that I blamed her. Even though she was the one that suggested that I take a voluntary summer school class, I realized that it was asking way too much to have my dark See page D12

Social Security Options for Widows and Widowers to Consider BY TOM MARGENAU

Q: My husband died in 2009. I continued working until I was 62 in 2013. I then started drawing widow’s benefits. In February of this year, when I turned 66, I went to the Social Security office to apply for my own benefits. I thought I could get both retirement and widow’s benefits. But they told me no. They said I could only receive my own benefit because it was higher. Is this correct? It doesn’t seem fair. By the way, I was getting $1,870 in widow’s benefits until I switched to $2,120 in my own retirement. A: It is correct. And I believe you’ll think it’s fair once I explain it to you. Also, at the end of my answer, I’m going to give you another Social Security option that’s available to you. As a general rule, if you are due two Social Security benefits, you don’t get them both. You only get the one that pays the higher rate. Although frequently a widow will get benefits off of two records, if her own benefit is less than her husband’s. For example, let’s switch your benefit rates. Let’s say you were due $1,870 in retirement benefits and $2,120 in widow’s benefits. In that case, they would pay your own $1,870 benefit first. Then they would give you $250 in widow’s benefit to take you up to your husband’s $2,120 rate. In other words, you’re technically getting benefits off of two accounts. In reality, you’re really just getting a widow’s benefit rate of $2,120. But in your case, your own benefit exceeds what you are due on your husband’s account, so you simply get your own higher retirement benefit. As far as the fairness of getting only the higher benefit, think of it this way: Benefits for spouses and widows(ers) are legally considered “dependent” benefits. You normally would get a spousal benefit only if you were financially dependent on your husband. But you had your own job. And it must have been a better paying job than your husband had because you get a bigger Social Security benefit. So you were not dependent on him while you were working. And now that you are retired and getting your own higher retirement check, you shouldn’t be due any dependent benefits. Or here is another way to think of that. If the government paid you both your own and your husband’s benefits, then every other married person in the country should be able to claim the same. I should get my own Social Security and I should get husband’s benefits on my wife’s record. And for that matter, she should get her own Social Security and get a wife’s benefits on my record. The Social Security system would go broke tomorrow if everybody in the country got both their own

Social Security benefit and a spousal benefit. And now let me tell you about the option I hinted about earlier. Instead of switching to your own retirement benefits at 66, you might have been better off waiting until age 70 to make that switch. By waiting that long, you would be due a total of 32 percent in “delayed retirement credits.” In other words, instead of getting 100 percent of your benefit at age 66, or the $2,120 you mentioned, you would get 132 percent at 70, or almost $2,800. And it’s not too late for you to make that switch. The law allows you to change your mind and withdraw your claim up to six months after you filed. You are still within that six-month window. In other words, you could withdraw your retirement claim and switch back to your widow’s benefits. You would have to repay the difference between those rates, or $250, for the four months you’ve already received your own benefit. So you’d have to write a check for $1,000 as part of the withdrawal process. And if you think you can live on that $1,870 widow’s benefits for the next four years, you’d then start getting a $2,800 retirement check with the extra credits. You will just have to sit down with a good calculator and do the math and decide if it’s worth it. Q: We have an interesting situation. I am a 64-year-old widower. My wife is a 66-year-old widow. We have been married for two years. I am getting widower’s benefits off my first wife’s record (she was the higher wage earner) and my current wife is getting widow’s benefits from her first husband. But her benefit rate is very low because she didn’t work and her first husband spent most of his life in England and didn’t work very long in this country. Can I continue getting widower’s benefits until age 70, and then switch to 132 percent of my own? And can my current wife switch to spousal benefits on my record? A: You do have an unusual Social Security situation. And before I answer your questions, I must explain to my readers why you are each getting widow’s benefits from prior spouses even though you are married to each other. Normally, a marriage to a new spouse would end any entitlement you might have to Social Security benefits from a prior spouse. But the law says if you are getting benefits as a widow(er) and get married after age 60 (which you did), then you can keep the benefits you are getting from your first spouses. The answer to both your questions is yes. You could wait until age 70 to make the switch to your own retirement benefits. And your wife can get spousal benefits on your record. But here is the deal. She would not be able to make

the switch to wife’s benefits on your account until you are drawing benefits yourself. So if you wait until age 70, she’d have to wait until you are 70, too (when she’ll be 72). Another option would be for you to take your own retirement benefits now. Then your wife could switch to spousal

benefits right away. Just as I explained to the widow in the first answer, you will have to get out your calculator to run the numbers and decide what to do. If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has the answer. Contact him at thomas.margenau@comcast.net. COPYRIGHT 2017 CREATORS.COM

New York State Path Through History Weekend C ontinued from page D3 sites and events throughout New York State. The program, introduced by Governor Andrew M. Cuomo, builds on New York’s already robust heritage tourism attractions. The initiative is currently focused on 13 themes including: Arts & Culture, Natural History, U.S. Presidents, Women’s Rights, Canals & Transportation, Civil Rights, Colonial History, Immigration, Innovation & Commerce, The Revolutionary War, Native American Heritage, Sports History and the War of 1812. Important heritage sites and events across the state were selected with input from leading historians. For more information, visit paththroughhistory. iloveny.com. Statewide Plans to Commemorate Erie Canal’s Bicentennial Celebrations and events will take place across New York State to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the Erie Canal. An engineering marvel that stimulated trade, exploration and invention, the canal project created the first superhighway across New York, connecting Albany and Buffalo and improving transportation to and from New York City by linking the Hudson River to Lake Erie. “The Erie Canal was critical in establishing New York as a national hub for commerce and industry, and today offers boaters unparalleled views and access to our canalside communities,” Governor Andrew Cuomo said. “In commemorating this anniversary, we celebrate the canal’s rich heritage as well as its pivotal role in promoting economic development and tourism today. I urge visitors to come experience the many events planned for the bicentennial celebration.” The 2017 boating season is already underway on the 524-mile canal system for recreational vessels, which are now the primary users of the canals. The season runs through Oct. 11 when the canal is actually drained. A ceremony to mark the occasion was held in Waterford, the eastern terminus of the canal, where Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul gave the orders to open the gate at Lock 2, where more than 20 boats were waiting to begin their canal journey. It was on April 15, 1817, the New York State legislature approved construction of the Erie Canal, connecting Albany to Buffalo. Crews began work following the ceremonial first dig on July 4, 1817, in Rome, Oneida County. The canal was officially completed on October 26, 1825. The towns established along the canal now blossom with annual festivals,

living history re-enactments and handson museums that celebrate the region’s rich past and the communities that live along the canal today. “This will be an exciting year to visit the canals,” Canal Corporation Director Brian U. Stratton said. “Come experience our unique destinations and celebrate the Erie Canal Bicentennial with the more than 200 communities within the corridor and be a part of a history that is still being written every day.” The New York State Canal Corporation is co-hosting bicentennial events with communities along the canal. They include: Amsterdam, June 9, with a festival and fireworks at Riverlink Park, home to the new Mohawk Valley Gateway Overlook Bridge; Schoharie Crossing State Historic Site, June 10, all day canal-themed events and barbeque, where you can see the remnants of the original Erie Canal, the enlarged canal and current configuration of the Barge Canal Lockport, July 8, home to the famed “Flight of Five,” a set of five locks dating to the 1860s. The Flight once effectively acted as “stairs for boats” heading up the Niagara Escarpment, the long cliff that runs east/west across New York that famously includes Niagara Falls. Rochester, July 14-15, featuring an Erie Canal forum and a day of familyfriendly events and music, both held at the Strong National Museum of Play; and Rome, July 22, an all-day event at Bellamy Harbor Park, featuring a firstdig re-enactment, an arts and crafts fair, concerts and fireworks.

The entertainment abounds: Drew Nugent and the Midnight Society from Philadelphia, presents wry, spry, and certifiably Hot Jazz; The Dreamland Follies evoke Ziegfeld-esque grand dance routines; Roddy Caravella and the Canarsie Wobblers is a funloving dance troupe that conjures the rebellious and exuberant spirit of Roaring ‘20s youth; Gelber & Manning Band, feuding vaudevillian lovebirds quarrel, coo and make beautiful music together; Queen Esther pays tribute to jazz royalty of yore and Peter Mintun is “world’s greatest piano man.”

There are fun activities as well which you can join: Charleston Dance Contest to determine who is the Bee’s Knees; Bathing Beauties and Beaus Promenade, wearing vintage swimming outfits of the age (for entry email: bluevoon@aol.com), The High Court of Pie Contest (categories include “Mom’s Best” “Best Savory ”, “Most Original” and “Hobo’s Choice”; for entry email: govislandpie@gmail.com) Start off with dance lessons teach you the hottest dance steps of the time, like the Charleston; immortalize the day in your own Vintage Portraits-You Ought To Be In Pictures, perched on a Paper Moons; the ultimate familyfriendly event also features Kidland carnival games and prizes for junior

Gents and Flapperettes. There’s also a 1920s MotorCar Exhibition, where you can get up close and personal with flivvers and Tin Lizzies, and Antique Gramophones that reanimate original recordings from the 1920s. And what would a Prohibition-era, speakeasy event be without booze? VieVité, Côtes de Provence Rosé is the official wine sponsor of the Jazz Age Lawn Party. In addition, refreshing summer cocktails feature Lejay, the official liqueur sponsor, which created crème de cassis in 1841, as well as Bootlegger 21 NY Distilleries, the official gin and vodka of Jazz Age Lawn Party, crafted in Roscoe, NY. Libations available also include ice cold beer, lemonade and soft drinks. (Take note:

39th Annual Museum Mile Festival Takes Over Fifth Avenue, June 13

The 39th annual Museum Mile Festival, the biggest block party in the cultural capital of the world, takes place on Tuesday, June 13, 6 pm-9 pm, rain or shine on a mile-long stretch of Fifth Avenue, from 82 Street to 105 Street. The festival kicks off at 5:45 pm on the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It is a fantastically festive event, with

Artists and art-lovers take over Fifth Avenue for the annual Museum Mile festival © Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com

street performers – clowns, magicians, bands – plus art on the street activities. Best of all, all eight museums are open at no charge, many offer entertainment and special activities inside. Begun as an initiative to spur the development of new museum audiences and to increase support for the arts during the fiscal crisis of the 1970s, Museum Mile was formed as a consortium by the museums that share the Fifth Avenue address. It has become one of the most popular happenings in a city known for spectacular events – some 40,000 turn out. It’s such a wonderful opportunity to visit museums you might not otherwise see – I am always surprised. Expect long lines and to get in about 3 or 4 museums during the course of the night, depending upon how much time you spend enjoying the street entertainment. Participating museums include: El Museo del Barrio, 1230 Fifth Avenue (at 104th Street), New York, NY 10029, (212) 831-7272 (http://www. elmuseo.org/) Museum of the City of New York, 1220 Fifth Avenue (at 104th Street), New York, NY 10029 (212) 5341672, http://www.mcny.org/ The Jewish Museum, 1109 Fifth Avenue, (between 92nd & 93rd Streets), New York, NY 10128, (212) 4233200, www.thejewishmuseum.org.

W R I T E R’S C O R N E R

Celebrating decades & decades of fantastic photography C ontinued from page D3 room in the den on the ground level of our split level house. In high school I kept up with photography – as a hobby and when submitting photo stories to my school newspaper. In the years since I haven’t printed out too many photos but I keep snapping pictures. Before taking pictures I arrange for permission with an adult to snap away. Once they agree, I climb onto risers and stages and whatever I have to in order to get on a direct level with my subjects. Planting my feet on the floor, I brace the camera in my hands so the final pictures will be crystal clear – no blurriness permitted. When looking through the viewfinder or LCD screen I compose the picture as best I can. I look at

what’s all around my subject and make the most of it. I try to leave out the fire extinguishers, exit signs, etc. Would a vertical or horizontal picture work best? Instinctively I know. I like capturing the emotion of whatever is going on whether it’s people playing instruments, singing, whatever, so when they play spontaneously or laugh or concentrate fiercely, I snap my photos. If someone tosses something in the air or runs through a water sprinkler laughing hysterically, I snap away. By the way, the only time I don’t get up close is when I have scenery pictures and if I’m on a cruise, for example, and the scenery is too far way, I zoom in as best as I can and take the photos anyway. When taking pictures I go into a

zone of creativity. I imagine that is what it’s like for artists and painters to get involved in their colors and their canvasses. I imagine what it’s like for pitchers to concentrate so hard on the game – on the batter in front of him – that he goes into a zone. It’s a zone of concentration when everything seems effortless. I’m not thinking about how I take pictures anymore, I am just doing it and waiting for those spontaneous moments that my camera captures. (We used to say we’d capture them “on film.”) Like the tennis player who swings a racquet effortlessly, like the pitcher who throws the baseball seamlessly,

like the ice skater who puts on their skates, goes on the ice and seems to simply glide along, photography comes naturally to me. It’s not just a matter of seeing a great picture, it’s feeling it – and feeling when it’s going to happen. The person may smile right at this moment but in the next second he or she might laugh spontaneously and that – that makes for a great picture. To prepare for photo shoots I try to get some rest and be prepared. When I can, I try to limber up – to stretch to help relax. I try to clear my mind of all thoughts and just be in the moment. All of that helps.

These days when I take pictures I still enjoy it as much as I did when I was a kid. I remember the smell of the chemicals whenever I worked in the darkroom developing pictures and I loved everything about it.

A Brief History of Cameras * The Ancient Greeks and Chinese used an optical device called the “camera obscura” to project an image of the surroundings on to a screen. In the 1800s practical cameras were developed. In 1888, the Kodak camera was developed by George Eastman. That pioneered the use of photographic film. It was a simple box camera with a single shutter speed and fixed focus lens. Around the year 1913, a German optical engineer named Oskar Barnack made a prototype compact camera that used 35 mm film. Named “Leica,” it was put into production in 1925 after further developments. In the 1920s and 1930s, reflex cameras became popular. Single lens reflex cameras (SLR) use a mirror and prism system to allow photographers to accurately see the image that will be captured. This system uses one optical light path. Previous cameras had two, one through the lens to the film and the other to the viewfinder. Polaroid cameras appeared in 1948, allowing photographers to produce images instantly. A special chemical process was used to produce prints from the negatives in under a minute. The popularity of instant cameras took off in 1965 with the introduction of the Polaroid Model 20 Swinger, one of the top selling cameras of all time. Despite the technology being around in 1949, disposable cameras didn’t really catch on until the 1990s when they became popular. They are cheap alternatives designed to be used once, perfect for single events such as birthdays, weddings and vacations. The first successful imaging technology using a digital sensor was made in 1969 by Willard S. Boyle and George E. Smith. In 2009, they were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for their contributions that paved the way for digital photography. In 1991, the first commercial DSLR (digital single lens reflex) was launched by Kodak. The popularity of digital cameras exploded in the 2000s as technology improved and the costs of production decreased. The technology behind cameras is constantly improving with additions such as touch screens and electronic viewfinders. *sciencekids.com.nz

Local resident gets championship invite

From page 1 turning 50 in September. He said that his ability to be a long ball hitter helped him in the national tournament and should favor him in the Seniors. In a practice session before teeing off last Thursday, he said the course was large and the weather had been rainy and that serves as an advantage to a long ball hitter because the ball carries longer after being struck. “The golf course was longer than I anticipated at 7,100 yards and that should be to my advantage because I hit the ball a long way.” Brown was always an athlete, playing baseball in college and hockey in High School. “Golf was always my one true love though. I started playing at thirteen years old growing up in Boston and as you can see I’ve never given it up.” He said that he moved to Long Island to Boston twenty three years ago and has been working at the Tam O’Shanter Golf Club, which is located in Glen Head, ever since. “It is a great place. They treat me like family over there,” said Brown.

As far as his chances of winning the Senior championship, he said that he feels good and is playing the ball well. He also brought his assistant caddy from the Club to the event in Washington DC to help his chances.

State moving forward to remediate Grumman pollution plume

From page 1 nothing seems to get done in the process. “I just want a clear cut picture on why Grumman and the Navy have been reluctant to pay for this, how much have they agreed to pay so far and the estimates for cleaning this whole thing up,” said the resident. Boufis said that the court and legal battles between the two parties have been going on for

decades at a great cost to the water district. “We criticize (Northrop Grumman and the Navy’s) timelines and the DEC criticizes their timelines and we’ve been collectively fighting them for decades and it’s not acceptable,” said Boufis. He estimated the cost at cleaning up the damage done by the plume as somewhere between $200 million and $800 million.

MacArthur HS supports autism awareness

MacArthur High School’s Autism Awareness Committee, under the direction of Vin Causeman, presented the Nassau/Suffolk Chapter of the Autism Society of America with a check totaling $11,285 to fund and support the organization’s family programming. The bulk of the donations was raised through the sale of autism awareness T-shirts for the school’s Day

of Awareness. NSASA President Suzanne Reek was on hand to accept the check, which will be earmarked for Long Island events that afford families the chance to participate in activities that would otherwise be difficult without the support of the Autism Society of America.

ADVERTORIAL

Carolyn Zettel-Augustyn

“Teaching an equal balance of technical skills embraced with artistry is of utmost importance to me, as one without the other is detrimental to the dance student, the future dancer, and the art form as a whole.” This is a motto Carolyn Zettel-Augustyn, Director and Founder of Classical School of Ballet LI (CSB) carries with her as she steps into the studio as she greets her students.

For more that thirty years Carolyn Zettel-Augustyn has educated herself in the art of teaching to ultimately provide her students with the best possible training, no matter the age and no matter if they choose dance for personal fulfillment, gained physicality, or to pursue dance as a professional career. “Regardless of their choice, the students that pass through the doors of Classical School of Ballet LI are given the opportunity to enrich their lives in the true art of ballet that embraces the whole person, mind, body and spirit.”

Come visit us and see why we are leaders in ballet training. Ages 3-17

“I invite my students to perceive their training in ballet as a constantly evolving and enriching experience building upon a solid foundation that is tried and true, following in the tradition of classical ballet that dates back to the 1600’s. At CSB we have adopted the American Ballet Theater (ABT®) National Training Curriculum. This curriculum provides safe and sound training principals that are age-appropriate with the students well-being in mind. “I’m very proud that CSB holds annual ballet examinations where an ABT® examiner adjudicates the students work.” Carolyn began her training at age 10 in Waterloo, ON Canada in 1974. She was awarded a scholarship to attend the Washington School of Ballet. Upon her return, Carolyn’s first ballet teacher, Anne Suetta was ready to retire and offered Carolyn her school. Carolyn apprenticed with Suetta and during that time she became a fully certified teacher with the Society of Russian Ballet Schools and the Canadian Dance Teacher Association where she later became Vise President of the Ontario Branch which consisted of 400 schools. Carolyn’s first small school outgrew the building and she expanded into a 5000 square foot space, and soon after opened a second location in a neighboring village. Carolyn’s school soon became known as the go to ballet school in the area and attracted guest artists including the late Betty Oliphant, founder of the National Ballet School, Arnold Spohr, former artistic director of the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, and the celebrated, internationally acclaimed dancer Frank Augustyn, who later became Carolyn’s husband. Frank’s illustrious dancing career ended and soon after he was invited to become the Chair of the Department of Dance at Adelphi University, Garden City, where he currently serves. In the first few years that Carolyn lived here she worked for a few local dance schools. In 2011 she founded Children’s School of Ballet, and later changed the name to Classical School of Ballet LI which more fully embodied what the school represents. In 2009, Carolyn began her teacher training program with ABT® National Training Curriculum. Carolyn is an ABT® Affiliate Teacher who has successfully completed the ABT® Teacher Training Intensive Primary through Level 7 of the ABT® National Training Curriculum and in 2016 Carolyn became an ABT Examiner.

SYOSSET LOCATION COMING SOON

Teaching the art of

Dance “I am honored to welcome my former student Beth Lamont, professional ballerina to CSB. She will be teaching at the June enrichment classes.”

Classical Ballet School LI is a destination school. It doesn’t attract the masses but rather attracts those interested in learning the art of ballet and all that embodies it. Students commute and car-pool from Huntington Bay, Islip, Great Neck, Jericho, Syosset, Jamaica, Queens and local communities including and around Garden City such as Floral Park, Mineola, Franklin Square, West Hempstead and more. Carolyn is looking to open a location to the Syosset area to ease the burden of commuting students during the weekday classes, yet, they will continue to commute to Garden City for their weekend classes.

Carolyn Zettel-Augustyn, Director

Carolyn is excited to welcome former student and professional dancer Beth Lamont to teach in late June. Beth has accepted the title at CSB as Guest Visiting Artist.

“My joy and rewards come from knowing and seeing the success of my students, many of whom have gone on to professional careers, and others that carry with them the love for ballet and still many more that greet me with an abundant amount of energy and desire to learn. When the studio lights go out at the end of the day, I know I can sleep well knowing that I have done my job and followed my calling.” GARDEN CITY LOCATION
