Town to hold blood drive on April 13 The Town of Oyster Bay will be holding its Blood Drive on Thursday, April 13 to help hospitals meet the ongoing need for blood donations. “Long Island Blood Services cannot meet its vital, life-saving mission without the efforts of the Town’s Blood Drive and its volunteers,” said Oyster Bay Town Councilwoman Michele M. Johnson. “We strongly encourage all those eligible to participate. If you have family members or friends who are willing to donate, please ask them to also support our effort.” “Blood banks need to be prepared 24 hours a day, 365 days a year,” Councilwoman Johnson said. “This constant state of urgency is why people should always donate whenever they can. Donating is not only quick and easy but it is an entirely safe process. All materials used during the process are sterile, disposable and used only once…by you. There is no danger of contracting any disease, including AIDS. The pint of blood you donate will never be missed by your body, which manufactures an equivalent amount in 24 hours. When broken down into component parts, one single pint of blood can be used to heal and help the bodies of three different people.” Locations for the blood drives are: Town Hall South Conference Room, 977 Hicksville Road, Massapequa (9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.) and Town Hall North, 54 Audrey Avenue, Oyster Bay (9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.). Councilwoman Johnson added that in order to qualify as a blood donor, a person must between the ages of 17 and 75 years old…16 with parental permission and 76 or older with a doctor’s note…weigh at least 110 pounds and not have donated blood within the last 56 days. Anyone who has received a tattoo within the past twelve months is ineligible to apply. It is recommended that volunteers eat well (low fat) and drink fluids in the days before the Blood Drive. The Councilwoman noted that all blood types are needed, especially O positive and O negative. Refreshments will be provided for all who donate. In addition, each time someone makes a donation, they earn advantage points redeemable for a wide variety of gifts, gift cards, or other merchandise. Also, McDonalds will be offering a coupon to all donor registrants offering a free large sandwich or salad when you make any type of purchase at McDonalds. For questions concerning medical eligibility call 1-800—688-0900 or visit www.nybc.org. Those wishing to sign up to donate, or in need of additional information, can call Councilwoman Johnson’s office at 1-516-624-6301 or visit the Town’s website at www. oysterbaytown.com. “A pint of blood may be one of the most important gifts you can give to someone,” Councilwoman Johnson stated. “One pint of blood could be the difference between life and death for one or more recipients. Please help us make this blood drive a huge success. Always keep in mind that we may someday be the ones in need.”

ST. IGNATIUS LOYOLA CHURCH 129 Broadway, Hicksville, NY 11801 • (516) 931-0056 HOLY WEEK AND EASTER SERVICES 2017 MASSES

Dear Parishioner: During the past year we have continued to grow as a community of love and faith in God. We have witnessed our faith being expressed not only in our Sunday Eucharist but also in the very spirit and tone of the parish; a warm love that reaches out to each other. We are about to share in the liturgy of Holy Week which enables us to celebrate in a very sacred way the great gift of Jesus Christ the Eucharist, His death and His resurrection. Our prayer and wish for the parish is that this Easter will bring us all a deeper awareness of our faith in God and our need to “love one another.” Peace in Christ, The Priests, Sisters and Staff of St. Ignatius Loyola Parish

Harvard Club honors Kimberly Costa “This award honors teachers who transform lives,” explained Dr. Judith Esterquest, Harvard Club of Long Island Chair of the Distinguished Teacher Selection Committee. “Devoted teachers like Ms. Costa offer Long Island students deep expertise, extraordinary talents, and countless hours of attention. By capturing the minds and imaginations of our children and preparing them for challenges that were unknown even a few decades ago, these teachers shape the future of our country.” Ms. Costa will be honored at the Harvard Club of Long Island’s annual University Relations Luncheon on April 30, along with 11 other teachers from across Long Island. Following the award ceremony, Annette Gordon-Reed, Charles Warren Professor of American Legal History at Harvard Law School and a Professor of History in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at Harvard University, will give a lecture. She won the Pulitzer Prize in History in 2009 for The Hemingses of Monticello: An American Family (W.W. Norton, 2009) and most recently published (with Peter S. Onuf) “Most Blessed of the Patriarchs”: Thomas Jefferson and the Empire of the Imagination (Liveright Publishing, 2016). Ms. Costa’s early experience as a lifeguard and swim instructor led her into the field of teaching. She has been teaching for 20 years and currently teaches grade 8 English and grade 6 ENL/ELA (English as a New Language/English Language Arts) at South Woods Middle School. She is also the advisor of the school’s Book Club. In October 2001, she received the New York State English Council Educator of Excellence Award for demonstrating exemplary teaching and leadership in English Language Arts education. In her spare time, Ms. Costa enjoys reading and boating with her family, including her two daughters ages, 6 & 3. “Prior to taking Ms. Costa’s English class, I did not like to read; I only liked to watch TV. I did not like to write, and I most definitely did not like to present,” said Karishma Minal Shah, a former student who is expected to graduate from Harvard College this year. “This year, I am writing my senior thesis and I often have to remind myself of the skills I learned in her 8th grade class: reading texts carefully, making a cogent analysis, and clearly articulating an argument. Ms. Costa’s influence is even apparent in my extracurricular activities. Ms. Costa’s penchant for poetry kindled one in me, which ultimately led me to become the VP of my high school’s Literary Art Magazine and, at Harvard, to create a Poetry Public Service Project with a Federal Judge,” added Ms. Shah. When South Woods Middle School Principal Michelle Burget learned of this award, she said, “Kim Costa is a master teacher, quietly and elegantly connecting students with their literary selves each and every day. Her daily work is a com-

Kimberly Costa of South Woods Middle School has been named a “Distinguished Teacher of 2017” by the Harvard Club of Long Island. bination of a commitment to excellence, a devotion to children, and a passion for reading and writing that fuels curiosity, creativity, and a love of learning.” “I will often chat with students and ask what they are reading and why, and more often than not, they reveal that Ms. Costa recommended that particular book,” said Ms. Burget. “When asked to describe Ms. Costa, a teaching assistant who has worked in her class said, ‘she simply makes the stories come alive for kids in a way they didn’t know was possible.’ So many students who claim to not enjoy reading or writing walk away from Ms. Costa’s class having fallen in love.” At the ceremony on April 30, the Harvard Club of Long Island will announce the Distinguished Teacher of 2017 who will also receive a scholarship for a “Harvard experience” at the Harvard University campus in Cambridge, Mass. Past winners of the scholarships have enhanced their teaching by sampling the resources available to Harvard students: meeting with faculty; visiting research laboratories, rare book archives, and specialty museums; and enjoying visual and performance art. The scholarships are funded by contributions from Harvard alumni living on Long Island. This year’s 12 Distinguished Teacher Award winners were nominated by current Harvard undergraduates and then selected by Harvard Club of Long Island board members. This year’s award winners teach economics, English, history, math, physics, and science research. The winners teach in the Baldwin, Elmont, Farmingdale, Herricks, Lynbrook, Manhasset, Mt Sinai, Sayville, Sewnahaka, Smithtown, and Syosset school districts. Previous winners of this award in the Syosset Central School District include Ms. Susan Dowd in 2016, Mr. Brian Belanger and Ms. Linda Stollow in 2015, Ms. Allison Noonan in 2014, Mr. Stephen Wolfson in 2006, and Mr. Arthur Kalish in 2005.

Park City Mountain, Utah: Biggest Ski Area in US is One of Easiest to Reach BY KAREN RUBIN, ERIC LEIBERMAN & SARAH FALTER I set out for Park City Mountain in Utah to see if it could really be true: you could leave your house on Long Island in the morning and be skiing the Rockies, or more precisely, the Wasatch Range, by noon. The combination of great nonstop airline service into Salt Lake City and the remarkably close proximity of the international airport to Park City- just 35 minutes drive, literally as far from the airport as my house to JFK, the “suburbs” of the city – makes this all possible. Not to mention the choice of condo-style lodgings right at the Canyons base, the efficient ski rental process. Sure enough, I was greeted at the airport and whisked away by Park C i t y

Transportation car service, checked into the Hyatt Centric Park City Hotel at Park City Mountain’s Canyons village base, picked up my pre-ordered skis through RentSkis.com (the fellow assisting me took the extra time to wax the skis to give me a better experience on the spring slush at the lower sections), used my Epic Pass, Vail Resort’s seasonal pass, which speeds you through the lift access with a point of a laser gun, and hopped the Red Pine Gondola to mid-mountain. There I warmed up and got comfortable in my equipment on the couple of green runs, then found a gentle blue trail, Snow Dancer, off the Saddleback Express lift, to warm up my legs as I regaled in the view, and was happy as a clam. (There is a caveat, though: by skiing immediately and not taking time to acclimate, you can avoid altitude sickness by drinking lots of water beginning the day before and throughout the day, and avoiding alcohol the first day. If you do feel the effects of altitude sickness, take Tylenol and drink water and if necessary, come down to lower altitude.) We Northeastern skiers will revel in actual snow, Park City’s legendary powder – even in spring conditions. You don’t just ski Park City - which with Vail’s acquisition and unification with The Canyons is now the largest ski resort in the US - you explore it. It is so vast, it becomes a game for the first-time visitor to get from Canyons – where the trails tend to be tougher (only a couple of greens), but less crowded, more sun, and more snow – to Park City.

Park City Mountain, Utah: Biggest Ski Area in US is One of Easiest to Reach Continued from page D1

I only ski a couple of times a season so I am still tentative though I can handle just about any blue (intermediate) trail provided there is snow and not sheer ice (as we New England skiers are more familiar with). But I lack confidence. Joined by Eric and Sarah who arrive late Thursday from San Francisco, Sarah and I spend our first morning together taking a half-day private lesson with Alex Fleet, one of the top instructors at Park City with nearly two decades of experience who is originally from Great Britain (you pay one price for up to 6 people). Lessons are not just for beginners and certainly not just for kids. Skiing is a skill that you acquire in layers (and with practice). A lesson helps you acquire the proper form and technique so you can handle any terrain. But the most important ingredient is feeling relaxed and confident so you get a better flow and can use your proper technique. Our goal is to feel comfortable when challenged, and for me, not to be so skittish at taking on new trails, but to have the confidence that I could do it. Secondly, I want to see how to get over from Canyons to Park City (there are no green trails to get you there – it is a series of blues or blacks to a half-dozen lifts). I had been told the “trip” could take as much as two hours from Canyons to Park City (about 45 minutes to get back). So Alex, starting us on the green trail (stopping to take in the incredible view) to check us out, progresses swiftly to Snow Dancer (a stunning blue), and then moves us over, peak by peak, to Park City. The lifts themselves – especially the specially constructed 8 passenger Quicksilver Gondola that connected Park City and Canyons when Vail merged the two in 2015 – are like themepark rides - exciting trips that give you sensational views of spectacular scenery as you travel up and over the canyons that separate the peaks. Alex gets us over to the Park City area (about one-third the size of the Canyons) in much less time than the two hours, where we find a blue heaven, and where there is vastly more green terrain (the longest is 3.5 miles), not to mention the blacks and the glades (we can look forward to that another time). He takes us around a few of the peaks on blue trails before starting back to the Canyons, enough to get a feel for Park City. Throughout, Alex is refining our technique – weighting skis, turning, edging – and building confidence for the climatic challenge: Sidewinder. He takes us back to the Canyons side,

Skiing down Snow Dancer © 2017 Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear. com finishing our lesson off the Tombstone lift on Sidewinder (Alex says the popular name is “Slidewinder”), a doubleblue square trail, where I take note of an actual sign that warns off all but advanced skiers. Alex says he knows we can do it, “Just follow me!” (and don’t look down because it basically goes straight down without flattening out.) He has made sure to take us here at the best possible condition of the day not icy or fast in the morning, nor too slushy in the afternoon’s spring heat (the temperature has gone as high as 60 degrees during our stay). Conditions are just right as the noon hour approaches. It is the confidence builder we have asked Alex for at the start (Sarah had

said she wanted to feel challenged), because if you can do the toughest blue on the mountain, you feel you can do anything (assuming the conditions are decent). While we are at our lesson, Eric, who is an advanced snowboarder, has been tearing up the slopes. Eric takes the Ninety Nine 90 chairlift, hiking 10 minutes to an “outof-bounds” bowl, “where there were endless spots to drop in from to have your own fresh lines; then you go from the steep fresh powder bowl to glades and moguls; a beautiful 10-minute trail, even for the speediest of skiers, made the 10-minute hike at the top of the lift well worth it.” (By midday when we

meet up at the bottom of the Tombstone lift, his Epic Pass, the seasonal pass to Vail Resorts which is also plugged into tracking where you’ve been and your accumulated altitude, showed he had already done 17,000 ft of elevation.) Armed with my confidence, on my last full day at Park City, I set out to get from Canyons to Park City on my own, which necessitates handling new trails each time. I start out at Guest Services and ask the kindly attendant to recommend an itinerary, so I don’t have to think about which blues to take. Based on the map of what has been groomed, she uses a yellow marker to map my day. And what a day! Indeed, when Vail Resorts acquired Park City Mountain Resort and then Canyons Resort, combining them in the summer of 2015, it created the largest single ski and snowboard resort in the United States. Vail immediately invested $50 million, building the spectacular new 8 passenger Quicksilver Gondola to connect the two areas (breathtaking ride!), along with the new King Con Express six-pack and Motherlode Express Quad among the improvements. The combined One Park City offers more than 7,300 acres of skiable terrain, more than 300 trails (and they don’t count tiny spurs as named trails like they do in New England), 41 lifts, 8 terrain parks, one super pipe and one mini pipe. We’re talking 17 mountain peaks! 14 bowls! A vertical of 3200 feet from the base at 6,800 feet to the summit at 10,000 feet! And even though it is just two weeks before the mid-April close of the season, and the springtime temperatures have soared, Park City averages 370 inches of snow a year, so still has an amazing base of actual snow to ski on. (This makes for a wonderful incentive for people to come out for the these last days of the season, to apply the day’s lift ticket to the cost of a discounted Epic Pass for next season that much more valuable; indeed, a woman from St. Louis said she bought next year’s Epic Local Pass, which is expected to also include Stowe Mountain Vermont, for just over $500.) It’s a “blue-bird” day – when the sun is brilliant and the sky the deep blue color of a blue bird’s belly. It is just perfection. I take my time, and have a thrilling experience really exploring and discovering the mountain, enjoying my skiing and literally accumulating the mileage which is the only way to really bump up your skills. Skiing with confidence is key because when you are tense, your muscles tense, you don’t get that nice flow and balance and you use more energy than necessary.

The scenery is intoxicating – not just the sparkling pure air and the altitude that gets your heart racing, but the stunning glades of Aspen trees, pine trees sprinkled in, the peaks and canyons, and the perspective, as well as the ride the chairlifts give you. It takes me 2 hours (savoring the stunning scenery, stopping for photos, checking the map and enjoying making turns) and I get to the Park City side. I take the SilverLode Express to the top, do Parley’s Park trail, and after a chat on the lift with a Park City regular, go back up for a run on Assessment before starting back to the Canyons. Everyone we meet – and during the course of the day, I meet people from all over the country – and especially the Ambassadors and lift operators – are incredibly nice. When I seem a little confused about how to get to the Timberline lift, a woman from St. Louis I meet on the gondola waits for me where the trails split, to make sure I take the right trail. I make my way back to Tombstone, and take the Red Pine Road trail back to the mid-mountain base, but I am feeling so good, I pass up going back down on the Red Pine Gondola, and ski down Boomer to the Canyons base (the big issue was the amount of slushy snow because of the warm conditions), feeling very satisfied with myself for being

adventurous. I achieved my goal: skiing new trails. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to take in one of the experiences that are unique to Park City skiing: the Historic Mountain Tour. You need to be intermediate or above to take this free, two-hour skiing adventure to the various mining shafts from Park City’s silver days. The Historic Mountain tours depart daily from the Park City resort base area by the Eagle Statue at 10 am and again at the Trail Map near the top of Bonanza lift at 1 pm. During the course of the tour, you get to appreciate how the mountain developed from a mining camp in the 1880s to an internationally recognized winter sports destination. The guides relate the stories behind the authentic structures you see on the mountain (there are some 1,200 miles of tunnels that wind through the mountains and you get to see some of the mine shafts), how Park City emerged as a ski jump arena, its World Cup Racing heritage and how it came to international prominence with the 2002 Winter Olympic Games. You get to experience some of the same runs that the Olympians did and ski or ride past some of Park City’s historic mining buildings with an expert tour guide. We have it on the list for our return visit. Park City Mountain’s trails

The Hofstra 2016-17 season: Final analysis - and defense BY LOU THEODORE This article was originally going to be concerned with a summary analysis of Hofstra’s 2016-17 men’s basketball season. However, I decided, because of the team’s defensive shortcomings, to include some defensive suggestions that will ultimately appear in a later newsletter and the next edition of my Basketball Coaching 101 book. In effect, there are two components to this newsletter. We’ll start with a presentation on the Hofstra analysis.

Hofstra

One could best describe Hofstra’s 2016-17 season with one word: underperformance. Mary and I sat next to a radio announcer from Northeastern University at the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) tournament in Charlestown during March 4-7. (Note: A great city to visit). I believe his evaluation of Hofstra hit the nail on the head. He excused some of the team’s performance to the loss of three key starters, including the CAA Player of the Year; but then again, they had two excellent guards, two excellent big men (one of whom hardly played), the potential Freshman of the Year is Pennington, and the league’s premier 3-point shooter. On the other hand, I felt the team

would improve with time and hopefully peak during the tournament. It turns out that they got knocked off in the first round in what I would consider an embarrassing loss; a victory would have resulted in their playing UNCW, the #1 seed. Almost everybody there in Charleston from the other schools were rooting for Hofstra because they felt that Hofstra had the personnel to beat UNCW. As we now know, that game did not take place. On to the analysis for the season. Here are my bullet pointers. • Once again (as with last year) defense was woefully weak. • Once again, bench help was essentially non-existent. • Sabathy (the reserve center) was underutilized. • Rokas had a disappointing season. His defense play was often missing and also had a poor shooting season. • Foreman emerged as a force to be reckoned with the next two years. • The loss of Buie could have made a difference. • Buie’s contribution the next three seasons is currently a wild card. • The club lacked a floor leader. • I don’t see a leader emerging next year; this should be potentially worrisome.

Here are my bullet pointers for next season. • Hire an assistant coach to help reduce/eliminate defensive problems. • STOP playing zone; Wisconsin had several players who couldn’t guard one-on-one and yet played a solid manto-man defense. • Recruit players who play stellar defense. • Although the team’s goal should be to win games, the ultimate goal is to win the CAA tournament – and that should be reflected in the team’s philosophy and overall preparation during the season. • Players should understand that the magic word in defense is INTENSITY! And this is where bench help comes into play.

Defensive Strategies

Here are some earlier comments on defense that appeared in my Basketball Coaching 101 book.” The author repeatedly told basketball aficionados that defense is 50% of the game. And every individual has responded with something to the effect: “of course, I (or we) know that’. But really? Who believes them? After all, from the first day a player is introduced to basketball, offense has been stressed. The novice

is taught and/or learns how to shoot, dribble, pass, etc. Defense was almost always an afterthought. In fact, the author has repeatedly claimed that it is great guards that get a team to a championship game, but it is great defensive guards that win championships. It is their ability to create havoc on the opponent’s offense that makes the difference.” “How important is defense? Here is a case in point. Stevie Mejia served as the point (or 1) guard for the 20122013 Hofstra team. Some in press row commented on several occasions that Stevie wasn’t playing to his full potential. What they were referring to was his scoring. Yet during the season, he stopped the star guards Scott Machado and Michael Alvarado of Iona and Manhattan College, respectively, COLD! These two players were projected first-round and second-round picks, respectively. Interestingly, Hofstra lost three games during the 2013-2014 season because of an inability to stop the star guard of the opposing team.” Since I’m ranting and raving about defense, here are a baker’s dozen on some defensive suggestions that did not appear earlier in my book Basketball See page D6

Bucking the Trend -- Minimizing Our Social Security BY TOM MARGENAU

Q: My wife and I are both 62. My wife hasn’t worked outside the home in many years. I am still working but I’m thinking about retiring. However, our financial planner is advising me to keep working and for us to delay taking our Social Security as long as possible. He suggests we both wait until we are 70 years old to maximize our benefits. But I am tired of working and want to quit and start my Social Security. I recall a column you wrote a while ago in which you explained that you and your wife started Social Security when you were 62. Would you consider printing it again? A: I normally don’t reprint old columns. But I think I will make an exception, as the column is almost five years old. I will dust it off, update it a bit and offer the same advice I gave my readers back in 2012. Here we go. Many readers ask me to serve as their financial planner. But here is the rub: I am probably the last person on the planet you should be asking for advice about money matters. To be sure, I know Social Security rules inside and out, and I can explain the various maximizing strategies that are all the rage among retiring baby boomers. And I know from the emails I get that those strategies have countless seniors worried sick that they won’t be able to squeeze every last nickel out of their Social Security account. I am endlessly fascinated, and I must admit, sometimes even a little put off, by some people’s obsession over money. Don’t get me wrong: Money is great, and it’s obviously better to have more of it than not enough. But should you be working yourselves into a tizzy worrying that you might make a decision that nets you a few bucks less from your Social Security account than you might have received had you made a different choice? I sure am not. Let me explain. My wife and I each took our Social Security benefits at age 62. I can hear financial planners and Social Security maximizing specialists gasping for air as they read that! After all, conventional money-making wisdom these days has it that the longer you delay the start of your Social Security benefits, the better off you will be. Most so-called “experts” will suggest delaying your benefits until age 70. Well, my wife just turned 72. (She’s a few years older than me.) That means she’s been getting Social Security checks every month for about 10 years now. Let’s say she’s averaged getting $1,200 per month for the last 120 months. That’s $144,000 she has received between age 62 and 72. Had she waited until age 70 to start her benefits, she’d probably be due about $2,100 per month, or $900 more per month than she is getting now. That’s a decent chunk of change, no doubt. But

it would take her 128 months, or about 11 years, to make up for the money she would have not received between 62 and 70. In other words, by age 81, she would have won the Social Security “game” had she waited until age 70 to start her Social Security. My wife comes from a long line of women who’ve lived into their late 80s and early 90s. So chances are she will live well past age 81 and probably would have been better off to wait until age 70 to claim her monthly benefits. But here’s the deal: WE DON’T CARE! We have been having way too much fun these past 10 years spending her (and my) reduced Social Security checks. We’ve taken that $144,000 and traveled all around Europe. We have made many nice trips from one end of this country to the other. We’ve bought several new cars. I don’t want to imply that we are rich. We certainly are not. But we feel rich in so many other ways. In addition to spending money, we also spend a lot of time riding our bikes around town or sitting on our back porch playing Scrabble. We purposely moved away from a part of the country many people consider a “paradise” just to be near our grandkids. We bounce them on our knees almost every day. What we are doing is living life to the fullest and not worrying one little whit about whether or not we made the right Social Security decision. “Stop worrying and start living” is the best advice I can give most of my readers. And here is an illuminating story on this same subject. I bet many of you get all kinds of mail from financial planners to attend seminars about maximizing Social Security benefits. A while back, I decided to contact one of the local firms sponsoring such a seminar. I introduced myself and told them I’d be willing to participate in their meeting as a Social Security expert who could explain various Social Security rules, including the maximizing strategies. They eagerly accepted my offer. During the seminar, I gave the audience an overview of Social Security benefits and eligibility requirements. I then went over the maximizing strategies and noticed the financial planners in the back of the room salivating over the potential business from the folks in the crowd -- helping them (for a fee, of course) make the “right” decision about when to take their Social Security. But I finished my presentation with the same spiel I made in this column: that my wife and I took reduced Social Security benefits and have never regretted our decision and have been having the time of our lives in retirement. At the back of the room, one of the planners was trying to get my attention. He made a throat-cutting gesture with his finger signaling me to stop talking. He came up to the front of the room and quickly ushered me off the stage. I was never invited back!

So that was the gist of my 2012 column. Having said all that, I am not implying that you should ignore the advice of your financial planner. Assuming you and your wife will live into your mid-80s or beyond, you probably would be financially ahead to delay taking your Social Security benefits until 70. The point I made five years ago, and that I am making to you now, is that maybe it isn’t nec-

essary to fret so much over maximizing your Social Security benefits. If you are tired of working, and if you can afford to retire at 62, do it! Maybe there is more to life than money.

The Hofstra 2016-17 season: Final analysis - and defense C ontinued from page D3 appear earlier in my book Basketball Coaching 101. I hope to expand this material and add new offensive suggestions in a later newsletter. • Need an assistant coach who can teach defense. • Need to recruit (great) defensive plays. • Need to play defensive players. • Can’t allow the opposing offense an

offensive rebound on a foul shot. • Box out when a shot goes up, even if one has to resort to grabbing. • Keep defensive scoring statistics for each player. • Continuously stress the importance of defense. • Continuously stress the importance of intensity on defense. • Practice double teaming. • Never allow the opposing offense to setup for the last play.

• Know who to foul at the end of a game. • Anyone slacking off on defense gets substituted for immediately. • Place one’s best defender on the opponent’s best scorer at the end of the game. I hope this helps some young (perhaps not-so-young) aspiring coaches. And, what about offense? This is a topic that will also be unveiled and addressed in both a later article and

the next edition. Forget about the “triangle offense” that is more confusing than it is nearly impossible to implement; I can’t figure it out. My interest will primarily be on “my umbrella offense” that is certain to revolutionize the offenses of those teams with forward-thinking coaches.

Farm to table businesses booming

Consumers’ appetites for local foods are growing, and restaurants have taken notice. Today, many local businesses, including farms and restaurants, have mutually exclusive relationships that make it possible for local residents to enjoy nutritious, locally produced meals. According to the market research firm Packaged Facts, local foods generated $11.7 billion in sales in 2014 and will climb to $20.2 billion by 2019. Farm-to-table remains a growing trend that benefits farmers, restaurateurs and consumers. This is evidenced by the rising number of farmers markets cropping up in neighborhoods all across the country, as well as the niche offerings by regional food purveyors. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says that, in the last 20 years, the number of farmers markets has grown by more than 350 percent. Many consumers are now choosing “local” for dining at home and when dining out, and this is making a major impact on the nation’s food systems. Foodies as well as industry experts predict that the local foods movement is a permanent and mainstream trend. In 2014, the National Restaurant Association found the desire for local foods dominated its “Top

Food Trends.” The most in-demands foods include locally sourced meats and seafood as well as locally sourced produce. Consumers also are interested in farm/estate-branded foods. Some restaurants are even producing “hyper-local” food, or herbs and produce grown right on the property. As the demand for local foods has evolved, so has the term “local foods.” “Local” can be a wide-ranging term that refers to foods produced in a particular town, state or even region. The 2008 Farm Act defines a “locally or regionally produced agricultural food product” as one that is marketed less than 400 miles from its origin. However, a few states have established more stringent rules that indicate “local” constitutes food produced within the borders of a state or within a small perimeter of the state. The growing preference for locally produced foods is great news for the farmers and small food producers that have long fought for footing among the mega-importers. According to the trade publication Produce Business, even though “local” does not place limits on the size of the farm, the growing desire among consum-

ers to go local is benefitting many small and midsized farms, as consumers are increasingly buying foods grown closer to where they live. In addition to meats, fruits and vegetables, consumers can find many locally made items that expand the potential for farm-to-table. These include, but are not limited to, artisanal cheeses, wines, beer, baked goods, milk and other dairy, and honey. Local, sustainable foods are in demand, helping not only local restaurants and merchants, but also the small and medium farms that service these establishments.

Special occasions often call for special venues. Catering halls are capable of hosting big and small parties, making them worthy of consideration for hosts looking to impress. While catering halls are most often associated with weddings, such venues can host everything from birthdays to religious rites of passage to anniversary parties and more. Catering hall staff can guide clients through the booking, preparation and hosting of their events. Many party hosts prefer to leave much of the hosting work to the professionals, feeling it reduces the stress associated with hosting while ensuring hosts they will have the time to mingle with guests and enjoy the festivities. Working with a reputable and reliable caterer is the first step toward ensuring a party will be successful and enjoyable. The following tips can help anyone develop a good relationship with a caterer en route to hosting a fun and memorable party. • Think about the size of the venue. Catering halls can cater to parties of various sizes. When choosing a venue for the party, hosts should keep the comfort of their guests in mind. Guests should be able to move around and not feel as though they are sitting on top of one another at the tables. Halls can be too big as well. Rooms that are too large for the guest list can feel uncomfortable and make guests feel isolated. • Develop a budget. Budget should factor into hosts’ decisions regarding a catering hall. Speak with the catering

manager prior to booking and be sure that there is a package that will fit into your budget. When examining catering packages, hosts can discuss if certain substitutions or amendments can be made to packages to meet their needs and the needs of their guests. • Consider the banquet hall location. Proximity to public transportation, highways and hotels is an important consideration. Guests should be able to get to and from the venue with ease. Try to find a catering hall that is not too far from home. This way you can communicate with the banquet manager and be able to pop in to drop off centerpieces and favors easily or handle any other last-minute issues that pop up. • Explore the amenities. Amenities, such as outdoor gardens or gazebos for photo opportunities, can add to the experience of throwing a party at a catering hall. Hosts should compare amenities at the catering halls they’re considering, and factor in the benefits of having those amenities versus the disadvantages of choosing a venue with no such offerings. • Don’t forget the food. Food should not be overlooked when choosing a catering hall. Be sure to taste test the menu to determine if the food is up to par. Catering halls can be beautiful, but the food should meet hosts’ expectations as well. Finding the right catering hall requires hosts to consider the venue, their budgets and a host of additional factors.

A toast is a drink raised in the health or honor of someone. Such salutes are typically accompanied by some heartfelt words or tokens of advice. Toasts are a common component of social gatherings, including retirement parties, milestone birthdays and weddings. Toast of the town It’s difficult to pinpoint who originated the practice of toasting. Several ancient societies would raise a glass in honor of deities or special guests. Ancient Greeks offered libations to the gods as a part of ritualistic practices and also as a point to drink to each other’s good health. Ancient Romans at one point instituted a practice that all people must drink to Emperor Augustus at each meal. The term “toast” has an interesting history. Dating back to the 16th century, “toast” refers to a piece of toasted bread. A piece of toast was commonly added to wine during this time because wine was quite inferior in quality then compared to modern vintages. Stale bread was placed into the jug to soak up acidity and improve the flavor. The wine also improved the palatability of the old or spiced bread. According to National Geographic magazine, by the 18th century, the term “toast” had been transferred from the floating piece of bread to the person honored by the toast. Eventually, “toast” represented the drink raised or the words offered with the gesture. Prepare for a toast Toasts can be off-the-cuff remarks shared in the moment, but for many special events, they should be prepared well in advance. Nowadays, some toast-givers devote extra time to pre-

paring toasts, particularly because they know these sentiments can live on indefinitely on social media. Giving a toast can induce anxiety, but some nerves can be relieved simply by doing one’s homework and not procrastinating. Writing tips A person giving a toast is trying to gain the attention of a group of people who may not be very attentive. These tips can improve the content of the toasts and their delivery. • Keep ‘you’ out of it. This toast is not about you. It’s about the person you are honoring. Therefore, do not put any self-congratulatory messages in the toast. Make it all about the person — even beginning the toast with that person’s name. • Hook people in. Open the toast with a good joke or anecdote that will help introduce the person of honor. For example, Jake is a great guy because he’s the type of person who will offer to meet you at your dorm room at 2 a.m. with pizza and beer to get you through a study session. Too bad he has a horrible sense of direction and repeatedly shows up at the wrong door. • Tell a story. Reference the person in the toast, other audience members, and even yourself if you can be painted in a self-deprecating light. • Keep it short. This is a toast, not a monologue. Be brief so that the audience doesn’t lose interest. Set a five-minute limit. • Wrap it up. Conclude the toast by tying the story back to the introduction and making sure to include the audience once more. This will help you get the biggest laughs and applause.

Vail Resorts Plans to Add Stowe Vermont to 2017-18 Epic Pass, Giving Northeastern Skiers New Reason to Buy Vail Resorts’ Epic Pass, one of the most value-laden season passes in the industry, just got way more enticing for Northeastern skiers, with Vail’s plan to acquire Stowe Mountain Resort in Vermont and offer unlimited, unrestricted access to Stowe for the 20172018 winter season, subject to the closing of the acquisition. What is more, purchasing the 2017-2018 Epic Pass now through Sunday, April 9 ensures that skiers and snowboarders will lock in the lowest price and most benefits, such as six discounted lift tickets (“Buddy Tickets”) for family and friends. Stowe will be the newest resort among 45 of the world’s most iconic mountain destinations to be offered with the Epic Pass (subject to the closing of the acquisition) – which includes unlimited access to 10 of the best-in-the-west destination resorts, among them Vail, Breckenridge, Park City, and Whistler Blackcomb. The addition of Stowe, for the first time gives Northeastern skiers an even better incentive to purchase the Epic pass, which pays for itself after just over four days of skiing, especially if they take advantage of the early bird discounted rates. Available at $859/adult, $449/ child 5 to 12, the 2017-2018 Epic Pass offers access to 45 of the world’s best mountain resorts – including Stowe Mountain Resort in Vermont, subject to the acquisition closing; Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Keystone and Arapahoe Basin in Colorado; Whistler Blackcomb in Canada; Park City in Utah; Heavenly, Northstar and Kirkwood at Lake Tahoe; Perisher in Australia; Afton Alps in Minnesota; Mt. Brighton in Michigan and Wilmot Mountain in Wisconsin. Epic Pass holders will again enjoy limited access to 30 European ski resorts including Verbier and Les 4 Vallées in Switzerland, Les 3 Vallées in France; Arlberg in Austria; and Skirama Dolomiti Adamello Brenta in Italy. Each resort delivers an iconic experience, unique alpine traditions and impeccable service. Purchasing the 2017-2018 Epic Pass this spring ensures skiers and snowboarders the lowest price, combined with the most benefits, such as six discounted lift tickets (“Buddy Tickets”) for family and friends. Available for $639/adult $339/child 5-12 (it pays for itself in three days), the Epic Local Pass offers unprecedented value to guests who are willing to plan around a few restrictions. Skiers and

snowboarders would receive a total of 10 days at Stowe (subject to the acquisition closing), Vail, Beaver Creek, and Whistler Blackcomb with holiday restrictions; unlimited, unrestricted skiing or riding at Breckenridge, Keystone and Arapahoe Basin; and access with limited restrictions (holidays) at Park City, Heavenly, Northstar and Kirkwood. For guests interested in skiing Stowe exclusively, Vail Resorts anticipates offering limited Stowe-specific season pass options. Details about pricing, access and benefits will be announced after the close of the acquisition. “We look forward to welcoming Stowe to our family of world-class resorts, to continue providing our guests with exceptional experiences, and to build upon the unprecedented value of the Epic Pass,” said Kirsten Lynch, chief marketing officer of Vail Resorts. “With the addition of Stowe, the Epic Pass would provide guests access to the East Coast’s most iconic skiing, as well as unlimited, unrestricted access to the best of the West – including Vail, Breckenridge, Park City and Whistler Blackcomb, among many additional world-renowned destination resorts throughout North America.” In addition to the Epic Pass, providing unlimited and unrestricted skiing for $859/adult, $449/child 5 to 12 (it pays for itself in just over four days), and the Epic Local Pass providing 10 days of skiing for $639/adult $339/child 5-12, other options include: Epic 7-Day™ is designed for skiers in search of a week of skiing. The pass pays for itself in just over three days and includes a total of seven unrestricted days valid at Stowe (subject to the closing of the acquisition), Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Keystone, Whistler Blackcomb, Park City, Heavenly, Northstar, Kirkwood and Arapahoe Basin, plus seven free days at Afton Alps, Mt. Brighton or Wilmot Mountain. The Epic 7-Day Pass is $639 for adults and $339 for children (ages five to 12). Epic 4-Day™ is a convenient option for a short ski trip. The pass pays for itself in just over two days and includes a total of four unrestricted days valid at Stowe (subject to the closing of the acquisition), Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Keystone, Whistler Blackcomb, Park City, Heavenly, Northstar, Kirkwood and Arapahoe Basin, plus four free days at Afton Alps, Mt. Brighton or Wilmot Mountain. The

Epic 4-Day Pass is $419 for adults and $229 for children (ages five to 12). For those who want to ski Stowe exclusively, Vail Resorts anticipates offering limited Stowe-specific season

Vail Resorts is moving to complete the acquisition of Stowe Mountain Resort, Vermont, which would be the company’s first resort on the East Coast, and would give East Coast skiers more of a reason to buy the Epic Pass.

Long time Syosset resident Bert Jablon has been a fixture on the Long Island running scene for decades. His pace has slowed a bit in recent years, but his enthusiasm hasn’t flagged at all, and the trademark Bert Jablon smile remains as wide as ever as he reached his 90th Birthday. The Greater Long Island Running Club helped celebrate Bert’s 90th Birthday on the afternoon of March 11th with a special Bert Jablon 90th Birthday Bash and One Mile Fun Run at Syosset-Woodbury Community Park. Over a hundred friends and well wishers were on hand for the occasion.

Thanks to Kate Shreck and Christine Martin for organizing the great selection of food and drink at the Birthday Bash, to Glen Wolther of All Round Foods for donating the Birthday Cake and the other delicious pastries, to Jack Hanley and Gabe Hickey for donating the hero sandwiches, to refreshment volunteers Myron Bellovin, Jonathan Ehrlich, Joan Hershkowitz, Marge Smith, Susie Brenner, and Arlene Sheflin, and to “Lead Trike” Peter Martin. A special thank you to Oyster Bay Town Councilwoman Rebecca Alesia for arranging the use of the Syosset-Woodbury Communuity Park for the occasion.

GLIRC President Mike Polansky, Executive Director Linda Ottaviano & Director of Development Sue Fitzpatrick congratulate Bert.

Personal congratulations to Bert from Tracey Epstein & Yvonne Leippert.
