A new bowling alley coming to Broadway Mall

BY GARY SIMEONE

As if the Broadway Mall didn’t have enough action and entertainment for people, a brand new bowling alley will be coming to the location in early July. The Japanese owned Round 1 Bowling & Amusement Center will open their two story facility to novices and seasoned bowlers alike. Construction of the bowling alley began on January 9th.

The Round 1 bowling and

entertainment spot is a very popular venue in Japan and offers a wide variety of entertainment including billiards, darts, karaoke, ping pong, unique rhythm arcade games and even multiple dining areas for patrons.

John Rossi, General Manager of the Broadway Mall, said that the 50,000 square foot facility will be a great addition to the mall and also help to create jobs for people.

“This is a great opportunity to create high quality jobs with

a reputable international brand and solidify our position as an activity and social center within our community,” said Rossi.

Amaka Oweazim, a Marketing Manager at the Broadway Mall, said that the bowling alley will be the first of its kind at the mall.

“Clifton Realty Management, a leasing partner at Broadway, pursued this opportunity with Round 1 because it provides the wide

Levittown turns 70

years old this week

BY GARY SIMEONE

It was 70 years ago this week that the idea for mass produced homes, known as the suburb, was born. The building of these homes began on Long Island in the area of what is today known as Levittown.

“I am proud to commemorate the 70th anniversary of Levittown, a community that has been nationally recognized as a model of suburban life in America,” said Hempstead Town Supervisor, Anthony Santino. “From its inception as a place where returning WW II veterans could put down roots, to the growth of the baby boomer generation, to present day, the Levittown community became and remains one of the finest places in the world in which to live, work and raise a family.”

Many homebuyers who were interested in moving out to Long Island away from crowded urban areas, migrated in mass to try and get a piece of the suburban life.

Joseph Canigliaro, a long time resident of Levittown, said his parents were one of the original homeowners to settle in the area.

“They moved here after living in Brooklyn for most of their life hoping to move some place quiet and away from the congested city life,” said Canigliaro, who ended up living in the home on Blacksmith Road that his parents owned.

He said that his parents moved with him and his sister when they were both very young hoping to have a place with a good school system and an area where they could go out and play in an open space.

“It took awhile for us to get used to our surroundings. We were so used to traffic and trains and the noise of the city life.”

He said some of the positives of living in a newly developed suburban location included being close to neighbors who were in a similar situation to what his family was in.

“All of the neighbors pretty much knew each other and there was never any issues with running across the street to borrow sugar or milk from someone,” said Canigliaro. “We always had that one neighbor who would be the designated driver for all the neighborhood kids taking them to baseball games and such.”

The Canigliaro family moved to Levittown during a period of mass construction on the Island as new parkways, highways and roads were being built.

“Levittown and Long Island in general is definitely not the same place it was when my family first moved here but I don’t think my parents would regret their decision to be part of one of the first suburban communities.”

Hicksville Historical Society to hear about “Plane News”

Starting in 1942, Grumman aircraft published a company newspaper with the clever title of Plane News. Intended to both inform and inspire the morale of the employees, many decades later it has become an incredibly valuable primary source for not only the company but the employees, American culture, Long Island and Hicksville during the Second World War.

Hicksville Historian James Janis will share the fruits of his research on this subject revealing much heretofore

unknown knowledge about Hicksville and its residents from 1942-1945. He will also share the secrets of historical research which is not magic, but just common sense and diligence.

The presentation will take place on Tuesday, May 23 at 7:30 p.m. at Hicksville Public Library, 169 Jerusalem Avenue.

All are welcome. Refreshments served. For more information: e-mail hickshistsoc@aol.com or visit www. hicksvillehistoricalsociety.wordpress. com

Rotary Club donates to local soup kitchen

The members of the Rotary Club of Hicksville South made a much-needed donation of new kitchen appliances to the Soup Kitchen at the United Methodist Church of Hempstead located in Hempstead.

In a partnership program, the two organizations provide fresh and hygienic food to families in need in the Hempstead.

The Rotary Club will take financial burden of 75-100 families each month, while its members help in the kitchen prepare, assemble and serve meals.

“As part of the food for the hungry project, our aim is to enter in partnership with several local soup kitchens across Long island”, said Mr. Kamlesh Mehta, Charter President and Past District Governor.

Representing the Church

Ms. Ruth Robinson graciously thanked Mr. Dave Sharma, President of RCHS and said, “Rotary’s amazing donation of new kitchen appliances will help us to feed more people, more efficiently and safer.”

Mr. Sharma thanked the donors and said, “It’s our privilege to come together in this noble endeavor and to be able to help the soup kitchen with something that was much needed.

The couple Kalpana and Bansi Shah donated a commercial grade stove-oven worth over $5,000, while Mr. Quddus Mohammed donated a commercial double deep fryer. “It’s not

just about food, but it is about getting people involved in the issue of hunger”, Mr. Sharma added.

The couple Kalpana and Bansi Shah shared their sentiments and said, “Preparing meals in the soup kitchen is a transformative experience for us and our son Akash Patel as it creates an opportunity to bond with people. Donations such as these makes us proud to be Rotarians.”

Mr. Quddus Mohammed is the project chair and a five-member team of Dr, Urmilesh Arya, Roopam Maini, Kalpana Patel, Nilima Madan and Ashok Varshney is responsible to administer the project.

“This program sidesteps traditional interfaith dialogue to get people of faith working together for the common good”, said Mr. Quddus Mohammed.

The Rotary Club of Hicksville South, a local chapter of Rotary International, provides several local and international humanitarian services, including promoting world peace. As part of their local mission this year alone RCHS has distributed over 600 backpacks filled with school supplies, T-shirts and winter coats for children in foster, safe house, and Interfaith Nutrition Network for homeless. “Everyone should try and know what compassion is worth”, said Dr. Urmilesh Arya, the incoming President of RCHS.

How to keep kids engaged over school breaks

As much time as kids spend in school, there will be times when they are left to their own devices, and during these times it’s easy for them to forgot classroom lessons. Sometimes called “summer learning loss” or “summer slide,” this forgetfulness sees many students fail to retain all of their lessons over prolonged breaks from school. Studies indicate that students score lower on standardized tests at the end of the summer compared to their performance on the same tests at the beginning of summer. Anywhere from between one to three month’s worth of educational achievement can dissipate during prolonged breaks from the classroom. To help ensure that those hard-earned lessons are not so easily forgotten, parents can help children remain intellectually engaged in various ways over school breaks.

• Stick to a schedule. Try to maintain a schedule similar to school, with children waking at the same time each day and going to bed at similar hours. This will make it much easier to get back into a routine when a new school year begins.

• Encourage reading. Set aside time for reading each day. All it generally takes is 15 to 30 minutes of reading per day for kids to remember their vocabulary lessons and maintain their fluency and comprehension skills. Children may enjoy picking their own books rather than

having a required reading list.

• Keep a math book handy. On long car trips or rainy days, children can do a few math problems to keep their skills sharp. This will help keep learning loss to a minimum. Math workbooks may be available at bookstores, or parents can look online or ask a teacher for a summer to-do packet.

• Plan educational trips. Vacations and day trips can be fun, entertaining and educational all at the same time.

Science centers, museums and living history locations can bring to life information learned in the classroom, even on family vacations.

• Learn at camp. Many children attend camp for a portion of their school breaks. Look for camps that do not simply babysit children, but engage them through enrichment activities.

• Take a class. Children and families can learn together by exploring new skills. Enroll in something educational and enjoyable, such as a music or dance class, a STEM seminar or something else that engages the mind and body. This gives everyone a chance to learn something new and have a great time together as a family.

Parents and educators can reduce lesson loss over school breaks by encouraging families to remain intellectually engaged in any way they can.

Biking is Great Way to Tour San Francisco’s Must-See Attractions

A view of the Golden Gate Bridge shrouded in San Francisco’s famous fog, from Vista Point on the bike trail © 2017 Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com

BY KAREN RUBIN

The weather is overcast on the day I have set to do that iconic bike ride along San Francisco’s waterfront, over the Golden Gate Bridge into Sausalito and on to Tiburon. But that doesn’t stop me or several thousand other visitors to this engaging city. I just throw in some rain gear along with water and snacks.

I set out for Blazing Saddles,

which has the largest bike fleet in California and some nine locations throughout San Francisco.

The company’s main location is at 2715 Hyde Street, ideally located in Fisherman’s Wharf, and just a block and a half from the start of the National Park Bike Path. This path takes riders on a beautiful, car-free bike ride along the bay, passed the Marina, through historic Fort Mason,

and over to the Golden Gate Bridge, which is where most of the riders go.

Blazing Saddles has been in business over 30 years – it is the original “Bike the Bridge” company – but now has some new offerings, including a new electric bike model that was custom-made for the company, the Electric Blazer, and a free mobile app.

The new “e-Blazer” was

customized for Blazing Saddles and they say is the lightest electric bike.

The bike looks like regular bike (the battery is on the luggage rack on the back rather than where your legs are).

It would be exceptional if you were riding San Francisco’s hills.

But a consideration for me, as the Blazing Saddles person explains,

See page D2

GOING PLACES NEAR AND FAR

GOING PLACES, NEAR & FAR....

Biking is Great Way to Tour

San

Francisco’s Must-See Attractions

Continued from page D1

is that e-bikes, can only take the Blue & Gold ferry line from Sausalito or Tiburon to Pier 41, which has somewhat more limited service than the Golden Gate Ferry (which goes into the Ferry Building at Embarcadero – so I see that my last time back from Tiburon (where I am trying to get to) would be 4:15 pm and it is already noon.

I decide not to take the e-bike but to take a regular bike, which is lighter and easier for me to get on/off, and soldier through the hills, starting with Fort Mason (made it!), then the ramp up to Golden Gate Bridge (made it!).

Valley’s Old Mill Park, where you get to see the Coastal Redwoods, and then connecting to the Bike Route #8 – which is the way Blazing Saddles recommends to go (I was in a hurry to get to Tiburon, it was already raining, and I had recently hiked Muir Woods).

Eventually you connect with Route 10 which is a dedicated bike trail along the water into Tiburon.

Rain doesn’t dampen the enthusiasm for biking through Fisherman’s Wharf © 2017 Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com A slew of bikes on the Blue & Gold Ferry from Tiburon to Pier 41 © 2017 Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com

The weather may be overcast, but I get to see that wonderful scene of the Golden Gate Bridge half-shrouded in San Francisco’s famous fog, a scene that changes moment to moment, it seems.

It is 8 miles to Sausalito – that takes about 1 ½ hours (you won’t just be riding over the Golden Gate Bridge, you will want to sightsee, stop for photos, and also have to keep stopping for pedestrians). Plan to spend time – at least an hour – in Sausalito which has really wonderful shops, galleries, eateries and scenic views, even if you are planning to continue the ride to Tiburon.

It is 10 more miles between Sausalito and Tiburon, which should take another 1 ½ to 2 hrs.

Blazing Saddles does an excellent job of preparing you – showing a 2-minute video of the route along the waterfront through the Marina district, up over Fort Mason (a strenuous hill) to the ramp up to Golden Gate Bridge (also strenuous hill), then down, down, down, into Sausalito.

They also give you a ticket for the ferry which you don’t actually pay for unless you use it (saves time and anxiety to buy the ticket at the ferry but I notice that the Blue & Gold lets you buy the ticket on the ferry, also). When I get back, I pay Blazing Saddles $11.50 for the ferry (the same amount as you would pay directly to the ferry). Their map/brochure even gives the time schedule for the ferries.

They tell us we should return the bikes by 7:30 pm or else call. They supply quality helmets, a lock, a pouch and luggage rack, and an excellent map (which also shows points of interest along the routes) and take care to properly fit the bike. (Blazing Saddles offers an all-day guided tour out of the 2715 Hyde Street location, departing 10 am and 1 pm, that includes the all-day Deluxe Comfort bike rental for $55/adult, $35/child).

I had really wanted to see the ride to Tiburon which is mostly on a bike trail but partly sharing the road. But once you get under the highway and go along the highway on the service road, the sign to the bike route (for Bike Route 8) to Tiburon is confusing (everyone else I met on the line to the ferry made the same mistake) – when actually, all you have to do is follow the service road maybe ¼ mile more and turn up on Belvedere Road, for a much more pleasant ride which soon connects to a very nice bike trail (Bike Route 10).

I made the mistake of not biking out to Mill

Even with getting lost (involving riding up three major hills in the residential area and stumbling upon the beautiful Audubon sanctuary (until a very nice man stopped his car and pointed out the route to me), I still got to Tiburon at 3:55 pm. There is not nearly as much to visit as in Sausalito, so I basically walked up and down the street in the “historic” district where the shops are and still made it to the 4:15 pm ferry for the fun 35-minute scenic “cruise” back to San Francisco’s Pier 41 at Fisherman’s Wharf, stopping at Angel Island and passing very close to Alcatraz on the way. There were a gazillion other bikes - a huge slew with the Blazing Saddles emblem – and the ferry people are extremely efficient in loading and unloading the bikers.

Besides this most popular Bike the Bridge ride (average 3 hours for the full 22 miles into Tiburon), other recommended routes include Bike the Parks (San Francisco’s bike route system connects Union Square and the “Wiggle” to the famous Golden Gate Park and the Presidio, 15 miles averaging 2-3 hours; the Marin Headlands Loop (from the north side of the Bridge, follow the coast west on Conzelman Road, out towards Point Bonita and Rodeo Beach, 10 miles, 2-3 hours; and “Conquer Mount Tamalpais, which would take you to Muir Woods National Monument, 15 miles beyond Sausalito, for a 5-6 hour trip – the elevations to Mount Tamalpais at 2,574 feet, make this especially challenging.

Indeed, San Francisco, despite its hills, is one of the most bike-friendly, welcoming cities anywhere (and if you get tired, public buses and the BART subway system accommodate bikes).

Blazing Saddles has a score of different road, hybrid and mountain bikes and types, starting at $8/hour or $32 for a 24-hour day; the best bike for biking the Bridge is a deluxe comfort hybrid, $9/hr, $36/for a 24-hour day; the e-Blazer ranges from $48-88.

Maritime National Historical Park

Besides all the marvelous tourist places –souvenir shops, eateries of every stripe – there are some excellent attractions at Fisherman’s Wharf, such as the Exploratorium and the Aquarium and most especially the famous and fabulous Cable Car (expect long lines of about 30 minutes but totally worth it; along the cable car route, there is the Cable Car Museum which is free and SO fantastic).

The end of Fisherman’s Wharf is the start of the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park and the Visitor Center which

The NY Post’s Page Six gossip column (6/24/15), quotes an NYC nightlife “guru” as saying that the “Catskills are the new Hamptons.”

In an article by Julia Reischel, Nur Khan said that the Catskills are what Montauk was when Andy Warhol and Peter Beard and the Stones [were there] in like ’71, ’72.”

Homowack Lodge

Freddie Roman, the comedian, began his career at Homowack Lodge. He was featured in the movie, “Sweet Lorraine.”

The former Homowack Lodge in Spring Glen, NY, was converted to a summer camp for Hassidic girls. The property was evacuated in July 2009, citing health and safety violations.

Humor in the Catskills

Henny Youngman found that guests loved to be insulted—albeit gently. Once, seeing a couple arguing in the lobby, he said, “Here’s a fastidious couple. She’s fast, and he’s hideous.”

“Cissie” Blumberg (“Remember the Catskills”) shared the story about two hotelkeepers who met during the season (“di sezon”). “How’s business?” one asked. “Terrible,” replied the other. “I have an empty room.” “So what’s terrible about one empty room?”

“It’s the dining room!”

Jason, Jay

Jason entertained from 1933 until 2000. He performed at the Granit, Kusher’s, the Nevele, and other hotels. Jason was quoted as saying:

“I always thought Chubby Checkers was a fat taxicab.”

“People talk about doctors and unethical practices—splitting fees, overcharging, all that stuff. But not my doctor. He’s a great physician, honest, sincere above-board. He never operates on you unless he really needs the money.”

Jewish Geography

The bellhops at Grossinger’s used to gossip about who found a husband. Guests played their version of “Jewish Geography”—Your Room or Mine?

Kaye, Danny (quote)

“You bet I arrived overnight. Over a few hundred nights in the Catskills, in vaudeville, in clubs, and on Broadway.”

When Larry King worked at the “Laurel in the Pines” in Lakewood, NJ, he remembers one afternoon when a lot of old folks were sitting around on the porch, wrapped up in blankets as if they were on an ocean voyage. He was attempting to get everybody’s blood moving, tummling, doing his shtick. Mrs. Tisch happened along and said, “Young man, save your antics for the stage. This is Laurel in the Pines, NOT THE BORSCHT BELT.”

Matchmaking in the Catskill

Matchmaking was serious business in the Catskills. The problem was that on weekdays when husbands and single men were back in the city working, women outnumbered the guys by a margin of four to one.

So, the social staff had to take care of the women. Sometimes a husband would tip the tummler before leaving the resort on Sunday night. He would say, “Take care of my wife while I’m away.”

See page D6

BY TOM MARGENAU

In today’s column, I present emails from two different women. They have two things in common. They are both around age 66. And they are both widows. But there is one key variable. One woman was a stay-at-home mom most of her life. The other worked outside the home. And that makes for a big difference in their Social Security stories.

Q: I am about to turn 66 and have finally decided to take Social Security. I have been living off of savings and investments until now. I was planning to file for widow’s benefits off my deceased husband’s record. He died several years ago. He was a banker who made good money and has a very high Social Security benefit -- $2,500 per month. I worked for about 15 years very early in my marriage. So I am due a very small Social Security retirement benefit on my own record. The last time I checked, it was $400. When I went to my local Social Security office, they tried to make me file for my own retirement benefits and then they said I could also get some money from my husband. I told them I just wanted widow’s benefits. They wouldn’t let me do that, so I left in disgust. What can I do about this?

A: Before I suggest what you can do, let me explain how things work for a person in your situation.

The Social Security Administration would normally recommend that you file for your own retirement benefits first. So they would start out by paying you that $400 rate. Then they would also take a claim for widow’s benefits, and with that, they would supplement your own retirement up to 100 percent of your husband’s rate. In other words, you would get $2,100 on his account to go along with the $400 on your record, taking your total benefits up to the $2,500 rate you’d normally be due on your husband’s record.

So why do they bother taking two claims? One reason is that years of experience has taught them that most people like the idea of having at least part of their Social Security check come off of their own work record.

And the other reason is simply administrative, and frankly, a little self-serving. You see, a Social Security office gets credit for each claim it takes. And the more claims an office takes, the more staff they get. If I were the manager of the office you went to, I would tell my clerks to try to talk you into filing two claims.

Having said that, you have every right to insist on filing only for widow’s benefits. But I hope you see it really doesn’t matter if you file one claim or two. Either way, you are going to get a check for $2,500 deposited into your bank account each month.

Tale of Two Women

Also, though this might upset you, I want to point something out for other people in a similar position. Because you haven’t been working, you could have filed for your own reduced retirement benefits back when you were 62 years old. Then at 66, you could have filed for the higher widow’s benefits on your husband’s record. You’ve sadly thrown away thousands of dollars by not doing that. Maybe you didn’t do that for tax reasons? Whatever the reason, it’s too late now.

And before I move on to the next email, I must make one final point. I can hear lots of my readers saying, “Tom, I thought you said a wife can’t take reduced retirement benefits at 62 and switch to higher spousal benefits later on. What gives here?” What gives here is the fact that this woman is a widow. A wife (with a living husband) generally can’t make that switch. But a widow can.

Q: I was 66 years old four months ago. I was planning on delaying filing for Social Security until age 70, but recently changed my mind. I have worked most of my life and plan to continue working indefinitely. I am a widow. Social Security records say my full retirement age benefit is $2,340 per month and that my husband’s rate is $2,510. How do you think I should handle my Social Security?

A: You should take widow’s benefits now and let your own benefits continue to grow until age 70.

So at age 66, you would start getting $2,510 per month from your husband’s account. You are eligible for those benefits even though you still continue to work full time because the earnings penalty rules (that are too complicated to explain here but that I have discussed countless times in other columns) go away once you reach your full retirement age. You could be making a million dollars per year and you’d be due your full Social Security benefits with no penalties imposed.

Also, you should claim four months of retroactive benefits back to the month you turned 66. The reason you can claim retroactive benefits while the woman who sent the first email can’t is because the law says no retroactive benefits can be paid before your full retirement age. She is about to turn 66 and I told her she can’t get any past benefits (which she would have been due had she filed earlier) because again, those benefits can’t be paid before age 66. You are age 66 and four months, so you can get those four checks paid to you retroactively.

And because you will be delaying your own retirement benefit past your normal full retirement age, you get a two-thirds of one percent credit added to your retirement payment rate for each month you don’t file for those benefits. That comes out to a 32 percent increase

if you wait until age 70 (the maximum age you can delay signing up for retirement benefits). In other word, at age 70, you will stop your widow’s claim and file for retirement benefits and start getting about $3,088 per month.

And the reason you can do this and the woman in the first email can’t do this is because her own retirement benefit is so small. It was $400 per month. If

she delayed filing for her benefits until age 70, it would increase to $528. And that’s well below her widow’s rate of $2,500.

is free and fantastic (located in the Argonaut Hotel building). Here you experience the sights, sounds and textures of the city’s seafaring past, beginning with the Native Americans who lived here before the Spanish arrived. There are hands-on activities and exhibits that describe the Gold Rush, shipwrecks, and development of San Francisco. On view is the lens from the Farallon Lighthouse. There are many historic vessels along the Hyde Street Pier, where park staff volunteers lead programs where you get to participate (school children can even overnight on historic vessels).

This trip we enjoyed dinner at the Pier Market Seafood Restaurant, heralded for its New England clam chowder, Mesquite-grilled seafood, and lovely setting with views of the Bay, waterfront and resident sea lions.

Pier Market Seafood is one of the Simmons family’s restaurants in San Francisco (Fog Harbor Fish House, and Wipeout Bar & Grill are the others), offering menus that showcase all sustainable seafood offerings aligned with the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s “Seafood Watch” guidelines.

an excellent foundation for appreciating what I will see during the ride.

It’s also where a few of the marvelous San Francisco cable cars begin and end – be prepared for a 20-30 minute wait on a line but it is so worth it and is an excellent way to either arrive at Fisherman’s Wharf or finish off the day. The one-way fare is $7. (Locals can’t get on so it is almost exclusively tourists who ride the cable car.)

Also try to visit the Cable Car Museum, located in the historic Washington/Mason cable car barn and powerhouse. (Cable Car Museum, 1201 Mason Street, San Francisco, CA 94108, 415-474-1887, www.cablecarmuseum.org

industry. Warren Simmons was the creator and developer of PIER 39, which opened in 1978, and his son, Scooter, daughter-in-law, Nancy, and his grandchildren, Nicki and Ryan, now work running the four Pier 39 businesses still owned by the family.

Menu highlights include garlic roasted whole crab, fresh seafood cioppino, mesquite grilled lobster tail, red curry steamed mussels, Anchor Steam battered fish and chips and Pier Market’s award winning clam chowder.

In addition to the sourcing of sustainable ingredients for all seafood dishes the menu reflects seasonality, the use of local purveyors, generous portions, and moderate (“non-

tourist”) pricing (mains are priced from around $11 to $30). Pier Market Seafood offers a diverse selection of libations including a wine list that emphasizes California vintages and handcrafted classic, contemporary and signature cocktails, plus intriguing nonalcoholic beverages including a strawberry basil mojito.

The selections are wonderful for sharing, especially the starters like sourdough garlic bread, garlic fries (crispy fries tossed with fresh garlic, herbs and topped with parmesan cheese); Crispy Scallops (house-breaded and served with roasted jalapeño aioli); fried calamari coated with sweet & sour sauce; crab cakes, a house specialty, served with a Cajun rémoulade; clams steamed in garlic, butter and white wine; steamed

The restaurant is also very proud of its Cioppino, a classic San Francisco dish, a tomato based seafood stew with fresh fish, mussels, clams, shrimp and crab served over pasta ( for a few dollars more, they remove the crab from the shell).

The menu offers tremendous variety and selections – meats to salads, sandwiches, pastas - and the ambiance is casual, pub-ish, great after a day of sightseeing. The restaurant serves until 10 pm.

One hour free validated parking in an easily accessed and conveniently located garage adds to the allure of the dining experience.

One of the darkest moments for Julius Slutsky came in the early 1970s. The federal government charged him and his son with income tax evasion. They both spent about a year in jail.

Paul’s Hotel

Paul’s Hotel, in Swan Lake, drew a crowd of schoolteachers. It was a great tennis resort and ran a tag line that read: “Honeymooners treated with studied neglect.”

Pittsburgh Press, Sun., July 23, 1950

The paper carried the headline: Summer Resorts Boon for New York Entertainers.

The Nevele Country Club in Ellenville was started by the Slutsky Family. The resort business really began to boom in the late 1930s and the Nevele began to use B’way entertainers. The resorts operated with “Social Staffs,” young actors and actresses who worked for little more than room and board. From these staffs came Jan Murray, Danny Kaye, Robert Merrill, Jan Pierce and Regina Resnick, to name a few.

Question

Henny Youngman asked, “Where else could a city-bound Jew get not only clean country air, but food of the kind portions your mama used to serve you?” Only in the Catskills!

Raleigh Hotel

In the lobby there were signs like “Please do not walk through lobby in bathing attire.”

The Raleigh—and other hotels—had Mambo Night—and dancing would go on till seven in the morning. The women wore elegant dresses. Male performers wore the Machete shirts: big blouse things with white cuffs sticking out of the jacket.

Religious Hotels

Grossinger’s was NOT the MOST RELIGIOUS hotel in the Catskills.

The Pioneer, located in nearby South Fallsburgh, was. Guests were forbidden to register or drive cars on the grounds during the Sabbath. On that day all labor, from flipping on light switches to washing dishes, was done exclusively

by non-Jewish help.

Roman, Freddy

Freddy was the Producer of Catskills on Broadway. He said, “From my first job as a social director at the Biltmore Hotel in Woodbridge, to my first booing as a ‘comedian’ at Jebaltowsky’s Mountain View Hotel in Summitville (for $15) and through the ensuing 32 years and thousands of ‘mountain’ jobs later, it is love, pride, and warmth that I still feel for the Catskills.”

Ruby the Knish Man

Ruby (1917-1987) is a legend. He sold knishes in Brooklyn and in upstate New York. He drove to all the bungalow colonies (Lansman’s, Sadownicks, Julene’s, etc.). He would don a yarmulke before he drove into the place, and made sure never to come on Saturday’s.

“You want some ZALTZ (salt) with that?” his wife would ask, trying to play the Yiddish angle.

C ontinued from page D6

He said, “Ladies and gentlemen, I am back! Ruby the Knishman is now on the premises, with my delicious and nutritious, hot homogenized, pasteurized, and recently circumcised kosher knishes.

We got today for you potato, onion, kasha, mushroom and pizza knishes. Come on, folks, I need the money to send my wife to Florida.

She’s killing me. OY! Have some rachmunis on an old man and buy a dozen. Buy two dozen!”

Sheindlin, Judy (aka “Judge Judy”)

Judy and her younger brother, David, vacationed at Catskills resorts with their parents. She said, “My parents ‘schlepped’ me around so I would meet a nice rich guy.”

Shushers’ Club

During shows at Grossinger’s sometimes the audience would chatterrudely with each other. Julie Slutsky formed what he called the Shushers’ Club. When it was too noisy (“tumldik”), he would announce, “All right, shushers, take over. A group of people would begin to “shshshshshshshshshshsh” until the talkers quieted down.

Streisand, Barbara

Streisand performed at the Concord Hotel before she made Funny Girl. The William Morris Agency said, “Look, you’re getting her for $500. Later on you won’t be able to buy her for anything.” She tore the place apart.

Summer Resort STaff

The dining room (“der estsimer”) positions brought in the largest incomes. “Cissie” Blumberg wrote, “A good waiter will steal for his guest.” Waiters could earn $3,000 to $5,000 by Labor Day.

Unwritten Maxim

At Grossinger’s everyone on the staff accepted the unwritten maxim: “If a guest isn’t having good time, no matter what the reason, it is the fault of the hotel. Something must be done to rectify it.”

“Swanee Syncopators”

When the “Swanee Syncopators” arrived at the Swan Lake Inn, their duties would only BEGIN with leading the band twice a night, seven days a week. They were told that they would also have to double as the resort’s social director.

Raleigh Hotel, South Fallsburg

This was a Shomer Shabbos facility. They still have Bingo six nights a week. No Bingo on Friday nights, on Rosh Hashonah, and Yom Kippur.

Red Apple Restaurant

The Red Apple Restaurant was a

A Guide to the Catskills, Part 2

cafeteria-style restaurant on NY State Route 17. It was a noted way station for people traveling to the hotels of the Catskill Mountains.

It was open 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, and was patronized by “Borscht Belt” comedians and professional athletes, as well as families traveling to campgrounds and resorts. In 1966, the Red Apple served one million customers. It served the Who’s Who of entertainment. The Red Apple was featured in several movies, such as Woody Allen’s “Deconstructing Harry,” “A Walk on the Moon,” “Tenderness,” and “Oliver’s Story.”

There’s a 2014 book titled “Stop at the Red Apple.” It was sold in 1984 to a Greek businessman who ran it for 21 more years. It closed in 2006.

Queen of the Catskills

Jennie Grossinger was known as the Queen of the Catsckills Resort.

Resident Comic

In 1954, Jackie Mason was one of four resident comics at the Fieldstone Hotel. His pay: $25 a week, plus room and board.

Resorts

Some well-known resorts: Brickman’s, Brown’s Hotel, The Concord, Friar Tuck Inn, Gibber’s, Gilbert’s, Grossinger’s, Granit, The Woodbine Hotel, Kutcher’s, Lansman’s, The Nevele, The Laurels, The Pines, Raleigh, Silverman’s River View Hotel, Stevensville, Tamarack Lodge, The Olympic Windsor Regency…

Salaries

In the 1950s, comedians earned from $100 - $300 at Grossinger’s. Jackie Mason received $300 at Grossinger’s in 1959. In 1973, David Brenner was paid $650 for a show. Billy Crystal in 1976 got $1,000.

Shawanga Lodge

Singers like Gertrude Lawrence and Mimi Benzell performed at Sha Wan Ga Lodge. Some people called it Shvanga Lodge. In Yiddish, the word means pregnant, and people did get pregnant there up to a point. It burned to the ground in 1973.

Source: “It Happened in the Catskills” by Myrna Katz Frommer & Harvey Frommer

Sundays

Sundays in the Catskills was unique. Breakfast could include 10 courses with unlimited options—Kippered salmon, Lox and Eggs, blueberry pancakes, Spanish omelettes. Figure on gaining at least 5 lbs. over a weekend.

Talent Night at the Avon Lodge

At Talent Night the guests at the Avon Lodge saw Sid Caesar perform his airplane routine. It actually seemed like he became an airplane. He

also did his penny gum-machine shtik and played saxophone solos.

Top-Flight Acts

Evenings in the Borscht Belt were always filled with top-flight acts: Martin & Lewis, Tony Bennett, Red Buttons, Joe E. Levine, Jimmy Durante, and in the late ‘50s, ELVIS.

Training Camp

Kutcher’s served as the training camp for heavyweight champions like Muhammad Ali, Leon Spinks and Floyd Patterson.

Tummler

A “Tummler” is a “noisemaker” If Buddy Hackett is at your party, you’ve definitely got one.

On rainy days the “tummler” was an especially crucial part of the hotel scene, enlivening lobbies and rec rooms and otherwise distracting guests from the thought of how much they were spending to breathe the fresh mountain air that the weather had conspired to deny them.

Henny Youngman said that “the professional tummler” is a Jewish tradition that dates back to the Middle Ages. Back then there was a guy named a BADCHEN whose job it was to run around at weddings making lots of slapstick noise. It’s a sacred commandment to be joyous at weddings.” At the Swan Lake Inn a tummler also had to be an emcee, scenic designer, electrician, and sometimes a busboy.

Henny Youngman (“Take My Life, Please!”) wrote, …”the sheer volume of gags I had to generate while tummling in the borscht belt left me forever jokepoor. The problem intensified when I decided to come back several more summers. Because most of the hotels’ business were repeaters, I couldn’t tell the same stuff I’d done the year before.

For a tummler in this distress, thankfully, there was a black market in jokes. For a price, or for a swap in kind, stolen routines could be had in Kellogg’s Cafeteria on 49th Street and 7th Avenue, the Theatrical Drugstore on 46th, or the Palace Cafeteria west of 6th Avenue.”

Some famous tummlers included Danny Kaye, Jan Peerce, Jan Murray, Tony Curtis, Jerry Lewis, Phil Silvers, Joey Adams, Jack Carter and Phil Foster.

“Sweet Lorraine”

The Heien Hotel in S. Fallsburg, was the location of the movie, “Sweet Lorraine,” starring Maureen Stapleton It was destroyed in 2008. The movie is the story of the elderly owner of an aging but still beloved (“balibt”) Catskill’s landmark inn who must decide whether to make the necessary repairs to the hotel or to sell the land to developers. It’s a heart-warming sliceof-life drama.

Typical Catskills audience

Jack Eagle said, “Today there’s no longer such a thing as a typical Catskill audience. You can have kosher butchers and the New York State militia in the same audience—that’s like meat and dairy…If you want a typical ‘Catskill’ audience, they’re all in the condos in Florida.”

Yom Kippur (at Grossinger’s)

Staff schedules were rearranged on Yom Kippur so that only gentiles were working that day. Yom Kippur was God’s Day, not the Grossinger’s Hotel Day.

Passover at Grpssomger’s

All the china, silverware and cooking stoves had to be specially koshered for the holiday. One year a rabbi grew so zealous with his torch, that he blew out all the electrical wiring and the guests almost had no seder dinner.

“Professor” Irwin Corey

Corey, “The World’s Foremost Authority,” performed in the Catskills.

“He was as unpredictable on stage as off, and always brilliant” according to “Cissie” Blumberg. Blumberg tells the story about Corey. Irwin had arrived early for an evening performance and decided to replace the maitre d’ and seat the guests. A particularly heavy (“zoftic”) lady arrived alone at the dining room door. Corey greeted her, “Good evening, madam. How many are you?”!

Waldorf in the Catskills

According to Morris Freedman, “Grossinger’s is to resort hotels as Bergdorf Goodman is to department stores, Cadillac to cars, mink to furs, and Tiffany to jewelers, but only roughly. It has been called “Waldorf in the Catskills.”

Paul Grossinger, heir to the dynasty, conceded this when, under challenge, he modified the slogan, “Grossinger’s Has Everything” to “Grossinger’s Has Everything for the Kind of Person Who Likes to Come to Grossinger’s.”

Source: “From the American Scene: The Green Pastures of Grossingers,” Commentary, Morris Freedman, 7/1/54.

Zeydes & Bobes (grandfathers & grandmothers)

Do reminisce with your family members how Grossinger’s once attracted 150,000 guests a year. Try to explain how it began life in 1914 when Selig Grossinger, a pants-presser in the city, bought a run-down farm in Ferndale hoping to improve his life.

Marjorie Gottlieb Wolfe spent many vacations with her parents at Grossinger’s, The Concord, and the Nevele.

Living in the pastand the future

BY BOB MORGAN, JR.

Perhaps I should write this week about the great Obamacare replacement debate, but there is such a level of sanctimony and partisan hype on this issue that I'd prefer to gather my thoughts and consider relevant information arguments before I comment. Plus the House bill is very likely to be changed substantially in the Senate. I'll speak to this issue, which is important, in a column in the next week or two.

Instead, I'd like to react to an interesting piece by George Will this week concerning living in the past rather than the present.

Mr. Will makes the point that the average person lives better today than did John D. Rockefeller, who was said to become the first billionaire in 1916. While the oil tycoon had mansions and servants, he lacked many of the comforts that ordinary people enjoy today like air conditioning. Traveling between mansions would be by railroad car, not airplane, and communicating with someone on the West Coast would be a sluggish chore. There were no refrigerators, and even the finest Swiss watches were no more accurate than today’s Timex watches or smartphones. Medical care and pharmacology were primitive compared to the present day, with for example no antibiotics, limited pain control and no remedies for arthritic hips beyond the wheelchair.

Mr. Will also gives numerous examples of how life around 1916 in parts of society removed from the Rockefeller family was much harder than now. Only 18 percent of people over age had 25 completed high school. One in ten babies died before attaining age one, compared to 1 in 168 today. There were four renters for every homeowner, partly because mortgages were difficult to obtain. Fewer than one third of homes had electricity.

It is hard to argue with Mr. Will’s overall point, that life in the past was considerably more difficult than it is now, and this is even true if you hypothetically decide to live in times of relative peace and prosperity like

the 1920’s rather than difficult times dominated by wars or the Great Depression. Worldwide, the overall standard of living is at its best ever.

Nevertheless, just because life was worse in the past does not prove that life will be more pleasant in the future, although this may turn out to be the case overall. In addition to hopeful developments, like progress in medical technology, there are also many alarming possibilities going forward. Some concerns, like the extent of global warming are subject to political debate as to their likelihood or severity (or how much they can be remediated), but others are unmistakably major dangers and still others involve significant value judgments.

One obvious concern involves new and improved methods of warfare, and not just bigger conventional or nuclear weapons delivered by more accurate rockets. There are also worries about the power grid being destroyed, which would likely paralyze industrialized nations and lead to millions of fatalities. Even worse would be attacks by chemical or biological weapons, including the unleashing of a global pandemic.

Other issues relate to the structure of society. In 50 or 100 years, will parents engage in genetic selection of their children? In a world where everyone is great looking with an IQ of 160, who will do the equivalent of collecting the trash? Will genetic testing be so accurate that people will be discriminated against on account of their medical futures? How much privacy will exist in the future? At the extremes, will there be some method of reading thoughts, which can be abused by totalitarian governments or even by nosy family members?

So, yes, we can agree that we have come a long way in the last century and that few of us would really want to live in past times. But the future will certainly have its challenges and there will be bad developments and changes going forward, as well as good ones.

She has taken a total of 12 Advanced Placement classes at BHS

Levittown inducts 157 into National Honor Society

The National Honor Society of Division Avenue and MacArthur high schools in Levittown collectively inducted 157 students during traditional candlelighting ceremonies celebrating the organization’s tenets of scholarship, leadership, service, character and citizenship.

At Division Avenue High School, Principal John Coscia described the inductees as school leaders. “They set a high standard for themselves and accept nothing less. In doing so, they inspire me and their peers to be the best they can be because that’s what leaders do,” he said. “They inspire and lift up everyone around them.”

In keeping with tradition, the Division

“It has a proven track record of success internationally as well as in the United States, where a handful of locations are already open.”

where every hour the lights on the bowling alley will be turned down and the music turned up and everybody on the lane bowls at the same time.

“It is a unique activity and everyone gets a chance to win a prize if they bowl a strike.” Round 1 will have plenty of menu items in the dining area including pizza, burgers, wings, appetizers and beverages. They will also be open for birthday parties, corporate parties and other special events.

Bethpage lacrosse battle is a family affair

BY GARY SIMEONE

Bethpage High School was filled to capacity on Sunday afternoon for an epic lacrosse battle between Duke university and Boston university. It was the fifth year the ‘Battle at Bethpage’ event took place at the school and it was a special one for Kate Danowski, head coach of the Bethpage varsity girls lacrosse team.

Kate’s dad, John Danowski is the head coach of the Duke lacrosse team and her brother, Matt is an assistant coach at the university.

“One thing I really looked forward to was having our Bethpage team meeting our Duke family,” said Danowski. “My girls hear so much about the Duke team and they have been following their whole season. This is a great opportunity for them to see these bigger, faster, stronger athletes in person.”

Kate said that her father started out as a Guidance Counselor and Earth Science teacher in a school district on Long Island and a local lacrosse coach before becoming the head coach at Duke. She said that she does not have ambitions to be a college coach at this point but does enjoy getting to work with a group of older girls after teaching at the Central Boulevard Elementary school all day.

“They are a great group of girls and they really work very well together as a team unit,” said Danowski.

The Blue Devils, who are ranked number 6 in the college lacrosse standings did not disappoint the crowd of nearly 4,000 people, beating the twentieth ranked Terriers of BU by a score of 18-8.

The game was the highlight of this past weekend but not the only event going on. On Saturday, members of the Duke and girls varsity team’s put on a lacrosse clinic for local kids helping them learn the fundamentals of the game.

“Some of the Duke players and a couple of our girls helped teach kids the basics including learning how to shoot, catch and throw.”

Kate said that the Battle at Bethpage event came about in 2012 after the former Bethpage Superintendent, who is a friend of her father’s, helped to bring the team to play once a year at the high school. The idea was brought before current school Athletic Director, John Franchi and the rest as they say is history.

“I hope they continue this for a long time to come because it really is a great event for the community and features some really good college teams playing against one another.”

The Levittown Board of Education and Central Administration recognized Division Avenue High School student Meaghan Schulman, a Girl Scouts of America Gold Award recipient, for her project “Project keep Playing.”

Levittown Girl Scout keeps girls safe on the field

During the April 20 meeting of the Levittown Board of Education, Division Avenue High School senior Meagan Schulman was recognized for her Gold Award project for the Girl Scouts of America.

Meaghan has created an organization called “Project Keep Playing,” which encourages female ath-

letes to wear facemasks on the field to prevent injury. Meaghan claims that many injuries can be preventable for the one in four athletes who have received or witnessed a face injury due to the lack of a facemask.

“As a softball player myself, I have witnessed numerous injuries sustained to players that could

have been protected both in the game and at practice,” Meaghan said. “It is time to be protected and just keep playing.

During the board meeting, Meaghan gave statistics on injuries and introduced the community to her website www.projectkeepplaying.weebly.com.
