Town of Oyster Bay Receiver of Taxes Jeffrey Pravato will host a free Property Tax Assessment Grievance Workshop for residents looking to acquire information on how to challenge their 2023–2024 property tax assessment. The workshop will be held in-person on March 22, 2022 at 7 p.m. at Oyster Bay Town Hall, located at 54 Audrey Avenue in Oyster Bay. “While Nassau County determines your value, we in Town government want to make sure you know that you have a right as a homeowner to challenge your assessment. Remember, your assessment can only be lowered as the result of a challenge – it can never be raised – and this workshop helps you challenge for free,” said Receiver of Taxes Pravato. “If you are a homeowner who disagrees with the assessed value of your property, I invite you to attend this Property Tax Assessment Workshop, as the property tax grievance deadline of May 2 is approaching.”
In January, Nassau County notified residents of their home’s tentative assessed value for the 2023-2024 School tax period and the 2024 General tax period. Any residents who did not receive the notice may view it online at www. mynassauproperty.com or contact their County Legislator. At the workshop, Receiver of Taxes Pravato will answer questions and show residents how to use online tools to file an “Application for Correction of Assessment” online or via mail. There is no requirement to pay a law firm or agency to file a grievance. For those unable to attend the workshop, Receiver of Taxes Pravato offers an online video at www.oysterbaytown. com/grievancevideo. For more information on the Free Property Tax Grievance Workshop, please call (516) 624-6380. For more information on your property, visit www.LRV.nassaucountny.gov.

Councilman Steve Labriola, Councilwoman Laura Maier, Councilwoman Michele Johnson and Supervisor Joseph Saladino join a local resident in donating blood.
To help hospitals meet the pressing need for blood, the Town of Oyster Bay partnered to host a blood donation drive at the Hicksville Athletic Center. In partnership with the New York Blood Center, 37 pints of blood were donated at this collection drive potentially saving 111 lives since a single pint of blood can save up to three lives. “Blood donations are extremely important to help secure necessary blood transfusions for patients. Following the pandemic, blood supplies are dwindled and critically low, so this blood drive, one of the largest in our local area, was critical for our local hospitals. I thank everyone who donated the gift of life at our blood drive,” stated Town Councilman Steve Labriola. To donate blood today, visit https://donate.nybc. org/donor/schedules/zip for more information and to make an appointment.

Bethpage High School’s Marine Science Club recently held a relief drive to support Ukrainians.
Marine Science Club adviser Larry Portuese inspired the club to collect donations to support Ukrainians.
Bethpage High School’s Marine Science Club recently held a relief drive to support Ukrainians. Thanks to the generosity of the Bethpage community, the club collected several boxes of clothes and food. The drive began when club adviser Larry Portuese saw an article about three Ukrainian churches who were looking for donations to help Ukrainians. He suggested to his club that they should organize their own drive and deliver it to one of the local
and the collection has grown ever since. “The situation in the Ukraine is horrendous and appalling,” Portuese said. “Hopefully, these items will bring comfort to those in need.” Well wishes, written by students in Ukrainian, were inserted into the pockets of some of the clothing along with a Werther’s hard candy. The club’s drive concluded on March 11. “The first few days I thought everything would fit in a district pickup, but by the third day it was obvious we

churches. The club and the school’s administration embraced the idea, and they contacted the staff at one of the churches, who provided them a list of items that were desperately needed. Flyers designed by the club were posted around the school and announced on the school’s morning news. In addition, high school secretary Cathy Falcone suggested to include the announcement to the district’s Listserv, which added to the relief drive’s success. The next day, there were seven boxes of donations,

Racing returns with Aspire 10K Run Major racing returns to Long Island running on March 26 with Greater Long Island Running Club’s 44th Annual USATF-LI Aspire 10K Run, which will kick off the 2022 USA Track & Field-Long Island Grand Prix of Road Races! Whether you’ll be running 6-minute miles or 16-minute miles, this event is not to be missed. The scenic 10K run will start and finish at the H.B. Mattlin Middle School on Washington Avenue in Plainview. This will be the third year that the new picturesque course (entirely north of Old Country Road) will be used, a course that will give the runners a chance to explore much of the northern reaches of Washington Avenue and the hilly stretch of Harvard Drive in the middle of the Run. The starting horn for the Run will go off promptly at 8:30 on the morning of March 26. “We are thrilled to be welcoming USATF-LI as a new title sponsor this year, with race proceeds to benefit the Sunrise Association,” remarked Katie Pearlman, executive director of Greater Long Island Running Club. Alex Cuozzo, President of USA Track & Field Long Island, commented “USA Track & Field-Long Island is proud to be the title sponsor of the ASPIRE 10K. USATF-LI has been serving the local community since 1999, presenting Track & Field, Race Walking, Road & Cross Country racing events for all ages. The 2022 ASPIRE 10K will serve as the USATF-LI Association 10k Championship and kick off the annual Road Grand Prix Series of races.” **NEW THIS YEAR**: Participants who are current members of USATF-LI and GLIRC are eli-

This is also a chance to be a part of a record-breaking performance! While the USATF-LI Aspire 10K Run is very much geared towards the average recreational runner, race organizers will once again also be offering a $500 prize if the first male runner to cross the finish line breaks the race record of 30:27 set by Pat Petersen in 1988, and a $500 prize if the first female runner to cross the finish line breaks the women’s race record of 33:39 set by Leo Petrina in 2014. A significant portion of the net proceeds of the 2022 Run will be set aside for the Sunrise Association, whose mission is to bring back the joys of childhood to children with cancer and their siblings worldwide. Sunrise accomplishes this through the creation and oversight of welcoming, inclusive summer day camps, year-round programs and in-hospital recreational activities, all offered free of charge.

Town supports Ukrainian people
The Town of Oyster Bay has announced that Town Hall in Oyster Bay will be illuminated in gold and blue lights in support of, and in solidarity with, the people of Ukraine. The Town is currently hosting a Humanitarian Relief Drive through March 25, collecting life-sustaining items such as personal hygiene products (soap bars, toothpaste, toothbrushes, feminine hygiene products, shampoo/conditioner, deodorant, brushes) and medical supplies (band aids, gauze, wipes, surgical kits, wound care supplies, PPE), as well as blankets and non-perishable food. Residents are asked to bring these items to Town Hall North (54 Audrey Ave, Oyster Bay), Town Hall South (977 Hicksville Road, Massapequa), or the Town Ice Skating Center (1001 Stewart Ave, Bethpage) from 9:00 a.m to 4:45 p.m.
Town offers senior bridge lessons The Town of Oyster Bay has announced that registration is now open for the Town’s new Senior Bridge Instruction Lessons. The program will consist of 10 bridge lessons, with a choice between beginner or intermediate, and registration is required as seating is limited. “I’m pleased to introduce this new program to our active and vivacious senior community here in the Town of Oyster Bay,” said Town of Oyster Bay Councilman Steve Labriola. “We know bridge is a popular activity amongst seniors in a fun and social setting, and
these bridge lessons will give our seniors more opportunities to make new friends and improve their cards skills as well.” Beginner lessons will take place at the William P. Bennett Hicksville Community Center on Mondays at 1:30 p.m. starting on March 21. Intermediate lessons will take place at the North Massapequa Community Center on Wednesdays at 1:30 p.m. starting on March 23.

Town launches pet food, supply drive The Town of Oyster Bay will host a Pet Food & Supply Drive in partnership with LI Cares from March 15 to April 15 with a focus on collecting for the family members most vulnerable to hunger, residents’ pets. Long Island Cares formed Baxter’s Pet Pantry in 2009 to assist in feeding dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits, caged pets, fish, reptiles and all others considered family members. “Pets truly are members of our family,” said Town Councilwoman Laura Maier. “Pet food and supply donations will help furry friends in need, which in turn keeps pets at home with their loved ones. The Town of Oyster Bay is proud to partner with LI Cares to collect generous donations for this worthwhile cause.” The creation of Baxter’s Pet Pantry by Long Island Cares has helped distribute over one million pounds of pet food, all of which has been donated through pet food drives like this one and corporate donations. “Unfortunately many beloved pets are placed into shelters or given away
because families cannot afford the necessary food and supplies,” added Councilwoman Maier. “When struggling families have to make choices to heat their homes, buy medication or feed their own families, pets can become an afterthought. Pet food drives like this one can be a real lifesaver for both pets and their families.” Those interested in supporting the Town’s Pet Food & Supply Drive can place donated items in drop off boxes located in the following Town of Oyster Bay locations: • Town Hall North, 54 Audrey Avenue, Oyster Bay • Town Hall South, 977 Hicksville Road, Massapequa • Town of Oyster Bay Ice Skating Center, 1001 Stewart Avenue, Bethpage Regular business hours for the locations are Monday – Friday, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. For more information, visit www.licares.org or call Esther Alter in the Town’s Public Information Office at (516) 624-6380.

MacArthur High School cheerleaders are state champs It was a momentous occasion in General Douglas MacArthur High School cheerleading history when the team was named Division I Large School champions at the New York State High School Cheerleading Championships in Rochester on March 5. The achievement is a first for the program and is a result of players’ years of dedication to the sport. As they waited for their name to be called, the tension was high, and teammates clutched each other’s hands. Although they knew they put their best foot forward, becoming state champions was beyond their expectations. They placed first with 87.55 points and burst into cheer and tears of joy upon the announcement. “We thought we were going to get fourth or fifth,” said Kylie Zanelli, a team captain and senior. “We didn’t know what would happen. We were just going to do the routine the best we could,” said team captain Olivia Weber. “This was the last time we’d compete on this team with these people,” said captain Emma Koehler. “We just wanted to hit our routine so we could look back and say, ‘We hit our last routine ever together.’” The captains, including Tiffany Pereira and Julie Weltner, now all seniors, started on the team together as freshmen. That year, the Generals won the Nassau County championship, and later made it to regionals and are now state champions – all firsts. “Being a part of the first for everything is really cool,” Kylie said.
Becoming state champion is a first for the Generals. “We’re like a family,” Emma said. “We spend every single second with each other.” The captains explained they are already passing the torch onto the

Wilmington/Brandywine Mansions & Gardens Welcome Mobility Challenged Visitors BY LAURIE MILLMAN & MARTIN RUBIN TRAVEL FEATURES SYNDICATE GOINGPLACESFARANDNEAR.COM We’ve heard for years about the beautiful DuPont family mansions and gardens in the Wilmington, Delaware and Brandywine Valley region. With Marty now mobility-challenged, we set out on a long weekend to visit these fine architectural examples of Gilded, Industrial Age homes and gardens, to check out first-hand how the DuPont historic sites accommodate visitors with accessibility issues: Winterthur Mansion and Gardens The Winterthur grounds are expansive, with walking trails running through 1,000 acres of woods, meadowlands and farmland. Natural and groomed paths are also found throughout the 60-acre gardens surrounding the childhood home and country estate of Henry Francis DuPont (1880-1969). The Mansion complex includes the family home, botanical labs, Library and Museum galleries revolving exhibits. Winterthur offers a number of accessibility options to tour the garden area and the mansion complex: a) Companion-guided wheelchairs and strollers are available at no cost at the Visitor Center where you pick up your tickets, as well as at the Galleries Reception Atrium. b) Shuttles and trams for touring the gardens and reaching the mansion and galleries have wheelchair lifts and ramps, and designated wheelchair spots that allow a wheelchair to be securely locked in place. There is a sharp incline leading up to the mansion’s main entrance from the tram

However, between the beautifully manicured sunken gardens, reflection pools and ArtNouveau statues, there is a wide overlook for picturesque views, which can be reached by a mobility device. When arriving at the Nemours mansion, the staff is very accommodating for visitors traveling with mobile devices (strollers are not allowed inside): they put out small ramps to get our wheelchair over a few steps leading into the mansion’s The Sunken Garden at the Nemours Estate, Wilmington, DE © Laurie Millman/ main floor.

Hagley Museum and Library
The Hagley complex offers a handson learning experience for all ages about early American commerce and life. The 235 acres of the Hagley grounds, founded by E. I. DuPont in 1802 for manufacturing gunpowder, rise above the Brandywine River. Open daily, Hagley currently offers small-group tours of the ancestral DuPont family home and garden. Interpretive docents and demonstrations are also found at the restored mill, the artisans building, and the Workers Hill Community, where the gunpowder works employees lived. Pick up tickets for your timed tour at the Hagley Visitor Center and Gift Shop. A bus with a wheelchair lift leaves from the Visitor Center parking area. Some areas of Hagley are not easily navigable in a mobility device - ask the staff in the Visitor Center to highlight those areas on a grounds map.

Longwood Gardens
Longwood Gardens was developed initially in the early 20th century by Pierre DuPont to be enjoyed by family and friends. To perpetuate and expand his vision, after DuPont died in the mid1950s, the mission of the Gardens was to continue for public enjoyment and education. This is one of our favorite gardens in the country and one of the largest in the world. With 1,100 acres of outdoor gardens, Longwood is open year-round for visitors (even Christmas Day!) to enjoy the ever-changing seasonal displays of outdoor natural beauty, along with “dancing” fountains scattered throughout the grounds and beautiful, indoor glass conservatories (one of them a massive 4.5 acres). Over the past few years, the Main Fountain Garden area has been the location of beautiful fountain, light and fire shows with synchronized music. Fountain performances will resume on May 5, 2022. Longwood does not offer a shuttle or tram to tour around the large park, but the hilly garden paths are primarily paved and mobility device accessible, as well as most buildings. Visitors to Longwood Gardens are strongly recommended to bring their own mobility devices (strollers, wheelchairs and scooters with 3 or more wheels). Through our
experience, electric-powered mobility scooters will handle the steeper paths better than companion-pushed wheelchairs. The Visitor’s Center offers a limited supply of electric scooters on a first-come, first-served basis, with a “pay as you wish” rental fee policy for the entirety of your visit - more of a donation than a fixed price. A limited number of free wheelchairs and strollers are also available at the Visitor’s Center. The Gardens provides many water fountains and bathrooms that are mobility device accessible. Service dogs are permitted on the grounds and in the buildings. With at least two week’s notice, a sign-language interpreter will be available for a private, guided group walking tour; amplified listening devices are also available for use on the private tours. At this writing, the Gardens is selling timed tickets. Check out availability and ticket prices at https://longwoodgardens.org/visit. Longwood Gardens, 1001 Longwood Rd, Kennett Square, PA 19348, 610-3881000, https://longwoodgardens.org. As our experience shows, there is no reason not to continue to explore and experience attractions and destinations, just prepare in advance.

8 Secrets of a Successful Garage Sale BY MARY HUNT
Whether your goal is to purge your home of stuff you no longer need or raise some cash -- or both -- you have options. You can sell your items on an auction website like eBay, list them in classifieds on Craigslist or give the stuff away. Or, you can create a killer garage sale that turns your castoffs into cold, hard cash. PLAN AHEAD. Give yourself more than a few weeks to get ready. Make sure the date you select is not conflicting with a holiday or community event. Check local laws regarding signage, restrictions and a requirement, if any, to get a permit. GET ORGANIZED. It pays to put your stuff in order. Designate your sale area. If there are items in close proximity that are not for sale, cover or clearly mark them “Not for Sale.” Take the time to repair and clean your sale items and your sale area, too. Dirt, grime, chaos and clutter will repel shoppers. A nicely ordered space will draw people who are ready, willing and able to buy. PRICING. The majority of people who pass through your sale are merely looking for something they can use without having to pay full price for it. Your goal is to
get rid of your stuff while recouping some of the money you spent to buy it in the first place. Research the price of similar items on eBay or Craigslist. For high-ticket items priced over $100, make sure you include manuals, warranties or other information that would be beneficial to the buyer. ADVERTISE. At the very least, put a sign at the end of your street. If you really want to attract motivated buyers, get serious with the advertising. Consider an ad in a local newspaper. Join NextDoor, a private social networking service for neighborhoods where you can interact with neighbors and get the word out about your sale. Post on local bulletin boards, and circulate flyers. Put some time and effort into this because you want your ad to stand out. SETTING UP. Make your layout deliberate. Group things in sections. For example, put all kitchen items together in one area, and toys and games in another. Make sure all of your clothes are hung. Rig up a makeshift hanging clothes rack with two ladders or hooks from the ceiling. Do not pile clothes on a table or in boxes. POINT OF PURCHASE. This is the
checkout area, where you will collect money. This is a great place to sell cookies, coffee, sticky buns and bottles of water. If you have lots of small random items like small toys, jewelry and other items that don’t go with anything else, divvy them up into small lunch bags; tape them closed; and mark them “Grab Bags!” Add a reasonable price, and place them right by the checkout. Sit back, and watch them fly off the table. PREPARE FOR THE WORST. Bad weather is always possible, so make sure you have a few tarps available. If rain is a possibility, relocate electronics, books and paper items just inside the garage or under a cover. GET HELP. If you want to knock your sale out of the park, get some expert help. I recommend “The Garage Sale How-to Guide: Everything You Need to Know to Hold a Successful Garage Sale” by Cindy Sabulis, available on Amazon. This guide is worth its weight in gold and could make all the difference between a total waste of time and a big profit-making success!

Women’s History Month: An aviator & a naval officer BY CLAIRE LYNCH Did you know that Beryl Markham was the first woman to fly solo, nonstop across the Atlantic from Britain to North America? On September 4, 1936, Markham took off from Abingdon, England. After a 20-hour flight against the head winds, her Vega Gull “The Messenger” landed on Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia, Canada. With this feat, Markham made history. She then flew to New York City where Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia gave her a hero’s welcome motorcade through Manhattan. Born in London in 1902, Beryl Markham grew up in Kenya. Always adventurous and willing to try new things, in her late 20s Markham learned to fly and became the first Kenyantrained pilot to obtain a commercial pilot’s license. In that capacity she did free-lance transporting of goods, people and mail. Markham was a racehorse trainer and an author as well as an aviator. She wrote a memoir called, “West with the Night,” published in 1942 that chronicled her many different adventures. Horse racing was a popular sport in Kenya and Markham’s British father imported and trained thoroughbred English racehorses. As a child Markham worked in the stables and exercised some of the 100+ horses. Her skill at handling them was notable. When she was 19, Markham started her career as a professional racehorse trainer. She was the first woman ever to be granted a trainer’s license in Kenya. Her father gave her some horses then she hired a jockey and rented a stable. Markham’s horses won a few of the smaller races and owners began sending their horses to her to train. A friend loaned her several stables and a hut to live in. She produced winners and in 1926, her horse “Wise Child” won a prestigious horse race. In 1927, Beryl Markham married a wealthy young aristocrat named Mansfield Markham who had gone to
Kenya for a safari. Two years later, the couple had a son, Gervase. In a discussion about her early aviation experience Markham said, “Distances are long and life is rather lonely in East Africa. The advent of airplanes seemed to open up a new life for us. The urge was strong in me to become part of that life, to make it my life. So I went down to the airport. How zealously did I enter up my hours in my log book. That book is more precious to me than any diary.” Markham began flying lessons with a professional pilot and a few months later she bought her own airplane, an Avion IV, with a plan to operate an air charter service. On April 24, 1931, she flew from Kenya to England. Markham flew by sight and crossed the desert and the sea. Her infrequent stops were for engine repairs. Preparing for the commercial pilot exam back in Kenya, Markham had to strip an engine, clean jets and filters, change plugs and points, and take a written test on the theory and practice of air law and navigation. About her accomplishments Markham has said, “I learned what every dreaming child needs to know, that no horizon is so far you cannot get above it or beyond it.” She died in Kenya in 1986 at the age of 83. Michelle Janine Howard is a retired U.S. Navy four-star admiral - a woman who has achieved many historical firsts throughout her naval career. She was the first African-American woman to command a U.S. Navy ship, the USS Rushmore, and the first to achieve twoand three-star rank. In 2006, she was selected for the rank of rear admiral, making her the first admiral selected from the U.S. Naval Academy class of 1982 and the first female graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy selected for flag rank. On July 1, 2014, Howard was appointed Vice Chief of Naval Operations, the second highest ranking officer in the Navy. Upon her swearing in, Howard became the highest-ranking woman in

U.S. Naval history. When she assumed command of U.S. Naval Forces Europe and Naval Forces Africa, Howard also became the first female four-star admiral to command operational forces. After nearly 36 years of service in the U.S. Navy, Howard retired on December 1, 2017. After her retirement, Howard became the J.B. and Maurice C. Shapiro Visiting Professor of International Affairs at George Washington University, teaching cybersecurity and international policy. In 2019 she became a member of the IBM board of directors and in 2020 she was on one of President-elect Joseph Biden’s transition teams. Howard was born on April 30, 1960, at March Air Reserve Base in Riverside, California, the daughter of U.S. Air Force master sergeant Nick Howard and his wife, Phillipa. Howard is a 1978 graduate of Gateway High School in Aurora, Colorado. She graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy with a Bachelor of Science degree in 1982 and from the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College in 1998 with a Master of Military

Art and Science degree. Howard has said about the status quo, “If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude.” About military service, Howard has said, “This is not for wimps. You have to keep a sense of humor. You have to develop stamina because there’s going to be tough days.” A popular public speaker, Howard remembers a conversation with her mother when she was a lieutenant commander. Howard griped about having to do extra work that was not necessarily related to her day job, that was more related to her making history in the military. Her mother bluntly said, “… that I needed to embrace the role I was in or quit the Navy. She said, ‘You are where you are historically and until you quit, there’s not going to be anybody ahead of you.’ She was absolutely right.” For Beryl Markham’s courage as an aviation pioneer and Michelle Howard’s military achievements, I salute them and countless other women of courage during Women’s History Month.

‘Welfare’ for Disabled Kids With Wealthy Parents BY TOM MARGENA Q: I have a neighbor who is in his early 50s. He is a pilot for a major airline and makes pretty good money. He and his wife have several children, one of whom has Down syndrome. I have heard that this 21-year-old son is collecting about $2,000 per month in welfare benefits from Social Security. Don’t get me wrong; I would never want to trade places with these people. But I am just wondering how rich people qualify for welfare benefits. And I’m also wondering why this kid is getting Social Security when his parents aren’t even close to Social Security age. A: Let me set you straight on a number of points. First, your neighbor’s son is not getting Social Security. He is probably getting a Supplemental Security Income disability payment. Second, he is not receiving anywhere near $2,000 per month. It might be as much as $840 but is probably closer to around $500 in monthly SSI payments. Our country’s primary safety net for low-income elderly and disabled people is the Supplemental Security Income program. SSI is managed by the Social Security Administration, but it is not paid for out of Social Security taxes. It is funded by general tax revenues. However, the fact that the SSA runs the program, coupled with a confusing name that causes folks to believe it is a supplemental Social Security payment, leads most people to think of SSI as a Social Security benefit. I can’t emphasize enough that SSI is NOT part of Social Security. What SSI does is pay a small monthly stipend to folks over age 65 who are poor, and to disabled adults and children who are poor. While your neighbor’s son was under age 18, he would not have been eligible for SSI disability benefits. That’s because the father’s income would have been taken into consideration, and it would have prevented the child from qualifying for what is in effect a welfare payment. But once the child turns 18, he is considered a legal adult. And as such, the parent’s income is no longer taken into account when deciding his eligibility for SSI payments. So, assuming this 21-year-old young man doesn’t have any other income and doesn’t have much in the way of assets in his name, he would get a monthly SSI disability check. The amount of the check can vary from one state to another, but it is never much more than about $840 per month. And based on my knowledge of the intricacies of the SSI payment structure, my hunch is your neighbor’s son is getting closer to about $500. I am not going to weigh in too heavily on the argument over whether the adult
children of middle-class or even rich parents should qualify for SSI (i.e., welfare) benefits -- although I am inclined to believe that parents caring for severely disabled children should get some help from the government. But I can tell you that many people over the years have objected to these provisions of the law. And I would like to share the true story of one of those (maybe not so “conscientious”) objectors. About 30 years ago, I was working in the Social Security office in the biggest city of a large Western state. It was one of the so-called “red states.” A certain congressman from that state was as right-wing as a red-state conservative could get. He was popular and was elected repeatedly on what was essentially an “I will get the government off your back” platform. When he mentioned government programs, he spewed out the words “handout” and “welfare” as though he were spitting snake poison out of his mouth. Even though I didn’t agree with his politics, I respected his right to voice his opinions. Tragically, his 19-year-old son was in a major traffic accident that left him a quadriplegic. A few weeks later, one of the congressman’s aides was sitting at my desk in the Social Security office inquiring about any government benefits that might have been available for the paralyzed young man. I explained that he probably would be eligible for SSI disability benefits. I helped the aide fill out the forms, which he took to the father to sign. Several months later, the son of this wealthy and very conservative government-bashing congressman was getting a monthly SSI, or welfare, check from the federal government. Now, I normally would have been just fine with that. This man’s family had suffered a crippling tragedy, and I’m sure their medical and other bills were piling up. And I would have guessed that the congressman was very happy that not only was his son getting a small monthly cash stipend to help defray the costs of his care, but he was also getting Medicaid coverage. (SSI benefits come with automatic Medicaid eligibility. Medicaid is our country’s health insurance program for poor elderly and disabled people.) But what happened next really surprised and disappointed me. A couple of months later, the congressman was running for reelection. Almost everyone in the state knew that his son was paralyzed, but no one but me and a few others at the Social Security office knew he was getting SSI and Medicaid. In other words, he was getting monthly welfare benefits and all the son’s medical bills were being picked up by the taxpayers. One might have hoped that the congressman would have “seen the light” and perhaps told voters about the help his son was getting and explained how
he now understood that sometimes government programs were necessary and were there to help people out in tough situations. But that’s not what happened. Instead, he was out there on the campaign trail spouting his usual rhetoric about government waste and welfare fraud and promising that he would continue the fight to stop the growth of welfare programs and big government. And guess what? He was reelected in a
landslide! His politics bothered me a little. But his hypocrisy bothered me a lot! If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has a book with all the answers. It’s called “Social Security -- Simple and Smart.” You can find the book at www.creators.com/books or look for it on Amazon or other book outlets. COPYRIGHT 2022 CREATORS.COM

To waive or not to waive? BY PHILIP A. RAICES I recently experienced something quite unique, amazing and extremely lucrative.

To everyone’s surprise including both sellers, we had 35 clients and 11 brokers with their clients show up and waiting on line as we only allowed two couples or individuals in at a time. We still followed CDC protocol and being as safe as possible, also asking if they were vaccinated too. We received seven genuine and qualified offers at and during our 1st open house. We sat down with the owners and went over all of them one by one. We not only looked at the prices offered, but the terms and conditions. When it came down to the nitty-gritty, the homeowners decided to accept the one that had the highest price. But the icing on the cake was a very cursory inspection of less than 45 minutes and again no deduction on the price, as the home was in triple mint condition and we had enough back up offers that the seller wasn’t going to reduce the agreed price a single penny. It was also non-contingent on the appraisal even if it came up short on the agreed and accepted contract price, as the purchasers would make up the shortfall out of their pocket! This was put in the contract of sale to bind the buyers to that agreement. I surmised that they not only wanted the home, but they needed it so much that they stepped up to the plate and did whatever it would take to secure the premises to be the number one offer. Most important it was selling for way, way above the listed price. Emotion obviously became the dominant factor and not the asking price. During our second open house the following Sunday we had 25 clients show up and four brokers with their clients, again waiting on line to get in. Again, we followed the same pro-
cess and system of only allowing two couples or individuals at a time to enter and also they were vaccinated too. All the necessary and proper paperwork were filled out as required for housing discrimination and agency disclosures. Covid forms are now optional as per each office and/or sellers request. During that open house we again had five offers and four more that night. We spoke to these sellers on the phone and went over all the details, price, terms and conditions and settled on a final offer after going back and forth that was very close to the asking price. Terms were, this time no inspection and again, non-contingent on the appraisal (see previous explanation). Both homes were considerably above $1,000,000. Once again the psychology and emotion that the buyers displayed was a blueprint and duplication of what we experienced with the previous week’s clients, during the negotiations and was tantamount in their purchasing the home. There are “needs and wants” and when the needs are greater than the wants (champagne tastes and beer pockets), those purchasers will do whatever it takes to secure a home or even an investment property, as long as it makes some sense in the brain and cents in their pocketbook! The ultimate question is how one goes about dealing with clients whether yours as a broker or salesperson or whether they are an outside broker or agents clients at your open house; or at other times to ascertain and determine the real buyers from the tire kickers and lookie loos! Another way to put it is to separate the “wheat (purchasers) from the chaff (tire kickers and lookie loos).
So much time can and is wasted in coming to a satisfactory conclusion in getting to the end result of getting the highest price in the quickest time with the most advantageous terms and conditions. In my mind dealing with a seller and purchaser requires quite a lot of skill and expertise over the years of learning and gaining the necessary knowledge to create a win/ win environment so we create a happy seller and buyer. I always say, a seller will only come down so much and a buyer will only come up so much, with some exceptions to that rule too. We as professionals cannot strangle either one to force and push people to do what we may sometimes want them to do. However, it is all about consulting and guiding both parties through the arduous and many times complicated process to create a successful and happy closing for all parties; what I call a Win/Win situation. However, recognizing and knowing the emotional attachment that comes with purchasing not only real estate but any commodity with those that are truly qualified is an art and a certain methodology that over time must be learned and constantly practiced, like learning how to ride a bicycle. I have been involved and have heard of transactions that either fell apart due to lack of communication, disclosure or out and out lies or a combination of both. This obviously isn’t what the public wants or needs. What they require and demand is some caring, being candid and upfront, a clear line of communication, accurate information, and the exchange of thoughts and ideas to formulate a plan that satisfies and solves problems if and when they arise. In this fashion the broker and/or agent is
able to walk away knowing that future referrals will come about and be an extremely and very important factor in growing their business.

Q & A and a Healthy Bean Recipe BY CHARLYN FARGO
Q and A
Q: What is whey protein? A: Whey is a byproduct of the cheesemaking process. After milk has been curdled and strained, the liquid that remains is called whey, which is one of the two primary proteins that are found within dairy products. The other is casein. Whey is a good source of essential amino acids that the body uses for many functions that can impact strength training, muscle recovery, wound and burn healing and main-
taining weight.

What Time Is It? BY DENNIS MAMMANA Week of March 13-19, 2022 Here we are at that magical time of year when I encounter a surprising number of people who believe that we lose an hour by resetting our clocks forward from “standard” time to “daylight saving” or “summer” time. It’s a ritual many of us go through twice a year, but trust me, folks: It doesn’t alter the length of our day by even one second. This whole time business, however, can be quite befuddling because not everyone observes this change. Perhaps a look at how we measure time would help resolve some of the misconceptions. We all know that the Earth rotates on its axis and that it’s this rotation that causes the sun to appear to rise in the east, drift across the sky and set in the west. If the sun shines in our sky, it can’t also be in the sky on the other side of the planet. Modern technology frequently shows this to be true; we can watch a live news report from Ukraine, for example, where the sky is dark, but outside our windows in the U.S. it’s broad daylight. Our measurement of time is maintained by hundreds of precise atomic clocks around the world, but this wasn’t always so. Back in the 19th century, for example, time was purely a local
matter. If you wanted to know the time, you’d go check out the clock on the local church steeple. If you traveled or communicated across greater distances you would have had a serious problem. Such long-distance travel wasn’t a major issue for most back then, but it sure became one as transportation technology improved. So, to help keep schedules straight, the railroads in the U.S. and Canada split the North American continent into time zones on Nov. 18, 1883. And, though this system was not immediately embraced, its practicality soon became clear. Then came daylight saving time. It was none other than Benjamin Franklin who first conceived of this scheme in a 1784 essay, but more than a century passed before it became reality in the U.S. On March 19, 1918, U.S. law established the Standard Time Act, which not only set time zones across the U.S. but established daylight saving time (DST) -- a concept that still isn’t accepted by all states. For those who do, however, DST begins on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November. As complex as time might seem, for astronomers it’s relatively straightforward. By convention, we use one time zone: that of Greenwich, England. We call this time Universal Time, or simply
UT. And if you know how many time zones you lie east or west of Greenwich, you can use basic arithmetic to calculate your corresponding local time. Each zone west of Greenwich represents a time of one hour earlier. Eastern Daylight Time (EST), for example, is four hours behind UT. In other words, UT minus 4 equals EST. So, if UT is 11:00, it’s only 7 a.m. in New
York. And on the West Coast, it’s 4 a.m. Unless, of course, it’s standard time. So, what the heck time is it anyway? Well, that all depends... Visit Dennis Mammana at dennismammana.com. COPYRIGHT 2022 CREATORS.COM

L O S T I N S U B U R B I A
Losing by a Hair BY TRACY BECKERMAN I have very short and spiky hair. In order to maintain its shape, I need to get it cut every four weeks. You could see how this could be a problem during the pandemic when going to the hair salon was not an option. As my hair began to resemble a cereal bowl in the worst possible way (is there a good possible way?), it was clear I would either need to grow my hair out or take matters into my own unskilled hands. Naturally, I chose the more potentially disastrous of the two. I had seen my hairstylist cut my hair dozens of times, and while I appreciate the skill she brings to the job, I thought that -- if I went slowly and didn’t get the hiccups in the middle of the haircut -- I could probably do it myself. For some delusional reason, I believed I could trim my own hair without ending up gouging my eye out or looking like a Chia Pet when I was done. It is this line of thinking that general-
ly causes empires to fall. While I could see that there were a couple of ways this could result in a haircut gone horribly wrong, I’m nothing if not a risk-taker (sometimes I wash my whites and my colors together), so I decided to go for it. Once I got started, though, there were some things I hadn’t anticipated. Here is what I learned from that experience: No. 1: If you cut your hair when it is wet, it will be shorter when it is dry, which is fine if you have long hair, but if your hair is short, you could end up looking like your mother cut your bangs. No. 2: Trimming your hair over your ears is harder than it looks and is probably the reason Vincent Van Gogh ended up with one ear. No. 3: If you use your eyebrows as a guide to help you cut your bangs, there is a distinct possibility you will cut your eyebrows off. No. 4: Women look stupid with no
eyebrows. No. 5: If you have short hair and only trim the front and the sides, you will end up with a mullet, which was not even a good look in the ‘80s when it was popular. No. 6: If you try to cut the back of your hair so you don’t have a mullet, there is a good chance you will end up with a hole in the hair on the back of your head. No. 7: Baseball caps do not always cover holes on the back of your head. No. 8: Your kids could and would put your haircut on Instagram. No. 9: It will be shared 100,000 times. No. 10: You will become an instant star, but you will still have a hole on the back of your head.
When I finally finished, I looked in the mirror and decided I needed a second opinion on my home haircut. I tentatively approached my husband and asked him what he thought. “I cut my own hair,” I said. “What do you think?” My husband gave me the once-over and then proclaimed, “You look like a Chia Pet.” Tracy Beckerman is the author of the Amazon Bestseller, “Barking at the Moon: A Story of Life, Love, and Kibble,” available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble online!

On Wednesday, March 2, Hicksville Public Schools celebrated Read Across America. This event was coordinated by Hicksville High School Library Media Specialist Christine Anderson. She invited various guest readers including teachers, counselors, administrators, and Board of Education members to read a special book of his or her choice to students in our seven elementary schools. This event was held virtually from 8:50 a.m. until 2:50 p.m. Classes were able to connect through Google Meet for a time that best worked for their classes to hear a read aloud story.
Participants included Christine Anderson, Kelley Minot, Inna Mishiev, Elaine Kabaservice, Irene Carlomusto, Brenda Judson, Eva Shtein, Corey Cohn, Artie Mediate, Sunita Manjrekar, Erin Orcel, Stephanie Piscitelli, Jill Zeilander, Brendan McGowan, Lauren DuBeau, Jennifer DeTomaso, Lauren Cardello, Russell Garcia, Amy Mastrocinque, Chelsea Quaranta, Petrice Peppers, Michael Biondi, Carolann Higgins, Stella Drakos, Erin Lawlor, Melissa Corbett, and Rose Borda. This was a special event enjoyed by all.
School counselor Russell Garcia read a bilingual text, “El Perro con Sombrero” by author Derek Taylor Kent.
Hicksville High School Assistant Principal Lauren DuBeau read “The Proudest Blue” by Ibtihaj Muhammad.
Supervisor of Social Studies, Home and Careers Rose Borda read two books titled “Leonardo the Terrible Monster” and “That is Not a Good Idea.”
