To earn her Gold Award, Sara start-
ed a Zumba fit club at her high school. She developed this club in order to address the lack of fitness clubs offered in her school, and to find a solution to social isolation experienced by many students during lockdown. While promoting exercise in a fun and engaging way, Sara educated students about the physical, mental and social benefits of Zumba while also leading workshops for schools, teachers and Girl Scout troops. The Zumba Fit Club will be carried on through Sara’s school as it was approved by the school’s administration.

BY GARY SIMEONE Caio DaSilva, a Bethpage High School senior, will be headed to Mexico next month to compete in an international karate competition. The athletic young man earned his spot after placing first in a number of categories in the USA National Karate Championships, which took place earlier this month in Spokane, Washington. DaSilva said he attended the National championships from June 29 to July 3, and spent four to five hours per day competing in the 16–17 year-old category. “There was a lot of time spent with the warmups, waiting time, practicing my routines and actually competing,” said DaSilva. “I was there with my mom, so we got to spend a lot of quality time together.” DaSilva said that his karate form is kata, which focuses on detailed patterns of movements and routines in the martial arts category. “There are two strengths and disciplines in karate, Kata which focuses on routines and Kumite, which relates to sparring and fighting,” said DaSilva. “Since I was four-years old, I’ve been practicing my routines and honing my skills in the basement of my parents house.”
Caio DaSilva.
He said that he never chose karate but that his parents wanted to instill a sense of discipline and self respect into their son. “My parents thought it would be the best thing for me early on and here I am, a black belt, which is the highest standard you can achieve in the sport.” DaSilva said he credits his three coaches with helping him achieve his high ranking in the sport. His coaches include Joey Castro, a karate & fitness studio owner, Elhadji NDour, a strength & conditioning coach and Sandy Scordo, his online coach, who lives and France. He will represent the United States at the Pan American Karate Federation Continental Championships in Mexico City, which take place August 22– August 28. He will competing against nearly 50 other teenagers from various countries in order to earn a bid to the Karate World Championship in Turkey. “I am really excited and nervous but I’ll be going to Mexico with my whole family and one of my coaches, who I know will help put my mind at ease and let me focus on my karate routines,” said DaSilva. The precocious teenager said that he’s interested in the STEM-related programs and one day would like to be an engineer in computer sciences.

Campers get inventive at Wisdom Lane Middle School
This summer, Levittown Public Schools students are flexing their creative thinking and engineering skills at STEM Camp and Camp Invention, both held at Wisdom Lane Middle School. On July 19, STEM Camp students, who are entering sixth, seventh and eighth grade this upcoming school year, took to the halls to test out their self-built robots, equipped with remote-controlled movement and clamps to grab objects. Multiple teams were challenged to move objects such as blocks with their new motorized tools. STEM Camp students also used recycled materials to design a bottle rocket that would have the most effective flight. Using cardboard and tape, plastic bottles became
rockets ready to fly high. At Camp Invention, which includes students entering third, fourth and fifth grades, students crafted imaginative solutions to different problems, such as getting a ball to roll through a series of cardboard ramps. While enjoying the sunny weather, students worked in pairs to move a beach ball with foam tubes, engaged in counting games and ran in circles during a game of duck-duck-goose. By engaging in challenging and fun activities throughout the summer, students get a head start for the coming school year while forming strong bonds with their peers.

Town honors Gold Award Girl Scouts From page 1 Danielle took on the challenge of bringing Mental Health Awareness initiatives to these students. To prevent stigma around mental health, she created a presentation to educate her community on the importance of mental health and emotional wellbeing while also developing a resource guide that was shared with her school’s psychologist to assist students. Danielle’s high school psychology teacher implemented her message into his curriculum.
Ava Fiorello of Massapequa
Ava’s project, “Chess and Unwind” provides a safe environment for people of all ages to play a healthy and relaxing game of chess outside while also providing an education on the benefits of chess. Ava’s project aimed for people to get outdoors and to challenge themselves to think differently. Her project consisted of a permanent life-size chess set that will continue to be accessible to residents. Additionally, the senior day care center has added chess to their programming to help engage individuals to improve their mental skills.
Joan Olivero of Oyster Bay
Joan addressed the issue of e-waste to earn her Gold Award. She partnered with the Town of Oyster Bay, Best Buy and the ERI National Recycler to assist in her project. Joan developed a campaign that educated consumers about the benefits of repurposing the valuable metal of electrical cords. She hosted a grassroots information and collection center at the local farmers’ market and the Town of Oyster Bay’s Town Hall to connect members of her community with existing programs. She continues to educate people of the negative effects for irresponsibly disposing of e-waste.
Eden Price of Massapequa
Eden educated youth ice hockey players on safety and injury prevention to earn her Gold Award. She researched and presented information to young players along with their parents on common injuries sustained in hockey, how to prevent these injuries and when to seek medical attention. Eden also designed a pamphlet, and created a website to raise awareness on player safety. Northwell Health and Eden’s local hockey rink will continue to use her pamphlet at the Town of Oyster Bay’s hockey player safety meetings and it will be permanently posted on the bulletin board when you enter the rink.
Kate Blundin of Locust Valley
Kate took on the challenge of addressing food insecurity by teaching younger children about giving
back to the community. Due to the pandemic and rise in food insecurity, many food services such as food pantries and soup kitchens struggled to keep up with the demand. Kate partnered with NOSH, a program of the North Shore Soup Kitchen, designed to deliver groceries to those in need. Through her discussion, presentations, and video, she worked with children to educate them on food insecurity while also making notes and bracelets on the grocery bags.
Yesha Chandnani of Syosset
To earn her Gold Award, Ayesha Chandnani interviewed senior citizens to document their life story and give advice for younger people. Ranging from starting a business, to pursuing a career in engineering, to serving in the army, Ayesha highlighted how her interviewees persevered and used problem-solving skills to achieve their goals. She presented these interviews at local libraries, and they can be viewed through her website along with a guide to help students reach out to elders in their communities.
Emma Schneider of N. Massapequa
To earn her Gold Award, Emma Schneider tackled the issue of gender inequities in the STEM field. The goal of her project was to address a lack of exposure and gender biases in the field of STEM. She aims to create a growing interest in girls to major in STEM. Emma produced a documentary series titled “The STEM Station,” that educates girls on what STEM is and types of careers that are available. Her channel includes a guide of what courses girls should take and clubs to join in high school to be prepared for a college STEM major. “The STEM Station” is the centerpiece of Emma’s Girl Scout Gold Award and the Emma’s resources will be sustained on YouTube to help more students pursue a career in STEM.
Giuliana Feijoo of Old Bethpage
na McCarthy successfully set up a sensory path hallway in Schwarting Elementary School. Teaming up with an Applied Behavioral Analysis therapist, Julianna researched how different activities can help sooth a child or increase their stimulation to awaken their sensory systems. In doing so, she created a mood regulator path benefitting children with sensory issues while also remaining open to all students and teachers. She included a description and purpose of each activity along the path and created a packet for the main office to distribute to other school staff. Julianna's sensory path is sustained by the school psychologist and continues to be utilized by the teachers and staff in the building.
Michaela Johnson of Farmingdale
To earn her Gold Award, Michaela Johnson addressed the issue of the expense and access of diabetic sup-
plies. She spoke at many seminars and national organization events as well as with local community members. Through her discussions and website, she shared available resources to help people to acquire diabetic supplies they might not be able afford. She worked closely Tami Balavage, the founder of Help a Diabetic Child Foundation and her project will continue to make an impact as her website will be available to all those who need. “On behalf of the Town Board, we commend these fine young women for earning the highest and most coveted achievement through the Girl Scouts of America,” said Councilman Tom Hand. “What makes attaining a Gold Award even more admirable is that less than 6% of Girl Scouts achieve this accomplishment annually. These honorees express a special commitment to themselves, their communities, and their futures.”
Lazy Days of Summer event a rousing success From page 1 most fun activities of the day, Levittown Fire Department brought its hose truck to the event and provided a refreshing spray that cooled off dozens of people with a giant spray. Event Chair Louise Cassano says, “The mission of the Levittown Community Council, is to bring together the community residents and organizations to maintain unity and pride which this event definitely does. It greatly pleases the Council to see our neighbors enjoying the day.” The Council was established in 1998 following Levittown’s 50th anniversary.

BY GARY SIMEONE It was late last month that Hicksville Water District Commissioner William Schuckmann won the prestigious Paul Harris Rotary Club Award for the second time. The longtime commissioner won the 2022 award as part of the Hicksville-Jericho Rotary Club for his continuous service to the club as well as to the community as a whole. “I’m very honored and cherished to say the least to win this award as part of a great organization that puts the needs of the community first and foremost,” said Schuckmann. “This organization has done so many great things in the Hicksville and Jericho communities over the years.” Schuckmann, whose current title in the Rotary Club is director of club services, has been part of the organization since 1996. “Being part of this organization is not about what job you have or your job title. It’s all about helping the community first with whatever type of events, like food drives or back to school programs and things of that nature.” He said that since he’s been a member of the Hicksville-Jericho Rotary
William Schuckmann with Hicksville - Jericho Rotary Club President Donna Rivera-Downey.
Club, he’s taken part in many events, such as food drives and back to school drives with organizations like the Harry Chapin Food Bank and Jericho Cares. The Rotary Club is made up of various businesspeople throughout the two communities and holds up to ten members in its ranks. They hold meetings each week and have guest speakers from the community give various presentations on a variety of community-related issues. Schuckmann said he first won the Paul Harris Award in 2003, when he was serving as then Club president. “The first time I received the award, which is named after the club’s founder, I was truly honored. This second time was a cherishable moment, because I was recognized for my work in the community." Schuckmann has worked for the Hicksville Water District for thirty-six years in various capacities. He is currently in his third term as the water district commissioner. He served as superintendent before retiring from the position in 2010. The longtime Hicksville resident has been a volunteer firefighter, with over fifty years in the Department.

Bruges, A Sleeping Beauty Awakened BY KAREN RUBIN TRAVEL FEATURES SYNDICATE GOINGPLACESFARANDNEAR.COM I’ve come to Bruges for an eightday BoatBikeTours trip from here to Amsterdam and smartly (actually following the operator’s advice) have come a day early to have time to explore this UNESCO World Heritage city, known as the “Pearl of Flanders.” So I wake in the Flanders Hotel, nestled within the historic district, enjoy a marvelous breakfast in their lovely breakfast room overlooking a garden with a koi pond, and have time to wander, immersing myself in the extraordinary beauty and peacefulness of this place, before getting myself to the ship, the Princesse Royal, that will be my floating hotel to Amsterdam. I come upon a street market just across from one of the city’s prominent art museums, Groeninge Museum, near the Church of Our Lady, with an extensive collection of Flemish primitive, 18th and 19th century and modern art. In my wanderings, I take note of some of the city’s museums and attractions: Historium Bruges, Gruuthusemuseum, Chocolate Story, Bruges Beer Experience (this is extremely popular and I can’t resist going inside), and Old St. John’s (Memling Museum). The hotel has given me a late checkout, so I time my wanderings to return to collect myself and get myself to the ship. I am greeted by our tour leaders, Corrie Stein and Arnold Thurkow, and shown to my cabin – a pleasant single cabin with its own bathroom (!!). We are fitted for our bikes and get to take a bit of a spin that takes us to visit Bruges’ historic windmills, located on top of what would have
Bruges exemplifies the biking culture – and infrastructure - that will take us on BoatBikeTours’ eight-day ride from here to Amsterdam © Karen Rubin/ goingplacesfarandnear.com been the city’s ramparts, along the canalside bike path from our ship . These four, between the Dampoort and Kruispoort, are what’s left of some 23 windmills that once would have been here, principally to grind grain, and were part of the town walls since the end of 13th century. Sint-Janshuismill, the oldest mill, built in 1770, is the only mill still standing on its original position and is the only one with a museum inside that is open for public. The wooden mill is still grinding flour. We have a bike safety talk and orientation about our week-long bike trip – there is surprisingly a lot to learn about the various traffic signs and rules just for cyclists, a sign of how prevalent biking is, we will even have our own trails, paths, roads and traffic signals. (Arnold, after explaining right-of-way at the yield signs, adds, “always yield, always give way.”).
After a delightful dinner that sets the tone for the rest of our cruise, Corrie and Arnold take us for a walking tour of Bruges and I get more insights into what I had been seeing on my own walks. Corrie (as we discover throughout our bike trip, since these narrated excursions of interesting places are the routine everywhere we stop at something of interest) is a fabulous storyteller, able to impart insights and call your attention to things that would otherwise escape notice. Interesting in the scheme of world history, Bruges, she says, was a leading trading center in the 14th century because of its canals that linked the city to the sea which was the source of its wealth and prosperity and international merchants built it into one of the largest Hanse cities. But Bruges was displaced by technology and events by Ghent’s rise as a
G O I N G P L A C E S N E A R A N D F A R
trading center in the 15th, Antwerp in the 16th century and Amsterdam in the 17th century. Corrie calls Bruges a “Sleeping Beauty” with exquisitely beautiful buildings but, as it lost its economic base, inhabitants got poorer and poorer. Ironically, the result was that Bruges’ medieval heritage remained practically intact as the city was ignored by development. But a 19th century novel, “Bruges la Morte,” by the Belgian author Georges Rodenbach, was like the kiss that awakened the Sleeping Beauty. First published in 1892, it was the first work of fiction to be illustrated with photographs, and the photos spurred interest in tourists to see the city as it was in its Golden Century, with its canals, cobbled streets and medieval buildings. UNESCO designated the entire city center as a World Heritage site. Today, some 2 million visit Bruges, providing the economic base to sustain its heritage and exquisite architecture. Our ship, the Princesse Royal, is docked just across from Minnewater Park. We walk across an intriguing, modern red bridge into the park, one of the most romantic sites in this romantic city (you can see why Bruges attracts so many couples). Legend has it that Minnewater, the Lake of Love, is where water nymphs (“minnen” in Dutch) lived, giving the lake its name. Add to that a tragic love story, trees with mysterious shapes and an abundance of greenery and you get a place overflowing with romance. We see swans (so picturesque!) and learn that they are not only legendary in Bruges, but an obligation. Corrie relates that at the end of the Continued on next page
G O I N G P L A C E S, N E A R & F A R ....
Bruges, A Sleeping Beauty Awakened Continued from previous page 15th century, the oppressed people of Bruges revolted against the unpopular Emperor Maximilian of Austria, capturing him and imprisoning him in the Craenenburg House on the Market Square, together with his equally unpopular chief of police, Pieter Lanckhals, who was executed. After four months, the Emperor was freed by his army. The people tried to placate him, reminding him that their revolt was because the Emperor’s wife had made promises she failed to keep. Maybe that worked, because his “revenge” on the town seems fairly tame: he decreed that ‘until the end of time’ the city would be required at its own expense to keep swans on all its lakes and canals. Why swans? Because swans have long necks, and the Dutch for “long neck” is “lange hals,” or “lanckhals”. We go to a walled complex that Corrie says was built by Countess Mary of Constantinople to shelter widowed ladies, who engaged in spinning and weaving. “She took care of the ill and the poor. They wanted the sheltered life to be safe.” In 1927, the complex was taken over by Benedictine nuns. We stop in front of Bruges’ most famous brewery, Brewery of Halve Moon, which has operated since since 1856. Bruges has been brewing beer since the Mid Ages – it was important because water was not safe, so everyone,
even kids, drank beer at every meal, our guide Arnold Thurkow relates. (One of Bruges most popular attractions is the Beer Experience.) Corrie points out what would have been a hospital in the Middle Ages and where there is an entrance from the canal. “They knew different herbs, knew some diseases were contagious, so had a separate entrance for those people.” We stop outside the Notre-Dame de Bruges, with a 115.5 meter-high church tower (the second tallest in the world, we are told). It is notable for having the only statue by Michelangelo outside Italy. Corrie tells us the statue was of a naked child, so it wasn’t acceptable to display in Italy so a Bruges merchant bought it and brought it here. The church has many art treasures, paintings, 13th and 14th century painted crypts and 15th and 16th century tombs of Mary of Burgundy and Charles the Bold. We come to The Burg, the seat of power in the city: the 14th century Stadhuis, the Gothic Town Hall, two palaces of justice, the original gate to the city bordering a majestic square. In a corner of the Burg square, too, is the Basilica of the Holy Blood. The chapel is behind a richly decorated facade which is actually a 16th century staircase connecting the Romanesque SaintBasilius chapel on the ground floor with the neo-Gothic Holy Blood chapel on the upper floor. It seems to me this chapel
has singularly put Bruges on the map. Originally built in the 12th century as the chapel of the residence of the Count of Flanders, the church is famous because it houses a venerated relic of the Holy Blood allegedly collected by Joseph of Arimathea and brought from the Holy Land by Thierry of Alsace, Count of Flanders. The relic – a venerated phial said to contain a cloth with the blood of Jesus Christ - is kept in a silver tabernacle with a sculpture of the Lamb of God in the large side chapel of the upper church. The relic is shown to the public every Friday and also every day from May 3-17. Outside the chapel is the Holy Blood museum, which contains the shrine for the Holy Blood and other treasures belonging to the chapel. (You can visit the first floor chapel for free, but there is a fee to go to the upper floor. https://visit-bruges.be/see/churches/ basilica-holy-blood) I see the banners that herald a Bruges tradition that dates back to 1304 – the relic of the Holy Blood carried around the city in the Holy Blood Procession on Ascension Day. This folk tradition involves everyone in the city and was recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2009. The 13th-century Belfort (belfry) with a 47-bell carillon and 83m high tower dominates The Markt Square, which is called the “beating heart of
Mum’s the Word
Bruges.” You can buy a ticket to climb it for panoramic views. There is the magnificent Bruges City Hall building, the Historium Bruges (fictional characters tell a story of medieval Bruges). The architecture all around the square is breathtaking – there is the imposing Provincial Court and colorful buildings with stepped gables. The scene is all the more picturesque for the many horsedrawn carriages. There is so much to see and enjoy, Bruges really warrants a longer stay: What seems to be the most popular, must-see is the “Bruges Beer Experience” just around the corner from the Belfort; chocolate museum (Choco-Story). Also: torture museum; Diamond Museum, Lace Centre, archeology museum, Our Lady of the Pottery (historic Gothic church with baroque decor, a famous statue and a hospital now serving as a museum). (Must come back.) I am sad to leave Bruges, but excited to start our bike journey. Tomorrow we will bike to Ghent.

Great ways to celebrate birthdays BY CLAIRE LYNCH Birthday parties with close friends and family are fun and yet when the last candle has been blown out and the party hats have been put away, I often look back retrospectively at birthday years gone by. Maybe I’m typical and maybe I’m not, but for a long time now I’ve taken stock of what has been and what is yet to come. Some people say, “You are as old as you feel” and I always smile, thinking that statement is debatable. As a youngster my dad would often remind me that once my summertime birthday came along, the start of a new school year wasn’t far away. I would laugh and protest, not wanting to hear that news. I wanted to continue on with my summer days of frolicking and sleeping late - not wanting them to come to an end - but he was right. In just a few weeks Labor Day would be rolling around and the next day the school doors would be thrust open wide for us students to enter. On my 16th birthday I played in a few beach volleyball games and was as pleased as could be that I happened to be on the winning team each time. At night my family celebrated with several of my friends and at sundown everyone serenaded me with the famous birthday song. A good time was had by all and when I put my head down on the pillow that night I dreamed of many more celebrations to come. In my early teens I looked forward to taking a driver’s ed class in my high school and eventually taking my driver’s test. I couldn’t wait to get my driver’s license but knew that meeting the requirements was key. Passing the written and road tests was critical but at 17 I smiled and held my brand-new driver’s license in my hand. Showing it to my younger sister, Susan, I kept smiling thinking of all the places we could go. By my college years I’d switched from listening to Leon Russell and Neil Young and preferred the melodies of Cat Stevens while living at a dormitory
in Fairfield University in Connecticut then back at Hofstra University at my parents’ home in Rockville Centre. I was a “commuter” at Hofstra - driving from my parents’ house to school, to my part-time job then back home to crack the books and write endless papers. When school was out for the summer my birthday celebrations were cool, relaxed pool parties. Meeting all of the requirements during my college years was a whirlwind but upon graduating I got a fulltime job not in glitzy Manhattan where I had hoped but at a non-profit hospital on Long Island. It was a job in my field of study and I was happy to have it. Working as part of a team of employees doing marketing and coming up with new ways to publicize new programs and services, I spent birthdays surrounded by co-workers, making birthday wishes and wondering what future birthday celebrations would bring. In my 30s I did work in New York City, first at the Brooklyn Union Gas Company on Montague Street then several years later at other large corporations. They were dreams come true because now I was working in even larger, more elaborate groups of employees and we all came together as a great team. On my birthday several of us would have fancy parties at lunch or dinner. Discovering that my co-worker, Louie, had his birthday in the same week I had mine, several of us walked over to Carmine’s Midtown Restaurant to celebrate. Family-style dishes were shared, compared and savored. My 40s brought a new awareness of the passage of time. Still, I always looked ahead, not back so much, about where international travels would take me and where career pursuits would lead. Friends and relatives gave felicitations or birthday wishes on my big day but my idea of a real birthday celebration is lunch or dinner out in the Big Apple.

District and Peter Luger Steak House in Williamsburg, Brooklyn - just to name a few - are all on my birthday list of favorite places to go for celebratory meals. On my 50th birthday I got “over the hill” presents, cards and messages. My friends and relatives were pretty blunt in conveying their thoughts about the new decade that I had unceremoniously arrived in by handing me plates of black cupcakes and bouquets of black balloons but I laughed them off because I know that it’s all in jest plus I winked and nodded, saying that I still had plenty of places to go and see - and maybe they would come along with me. Sure enough some dreams came true - my sister, friend Joyce and I flew to St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands for a 10-day vacation. The snorkeling and kayaking were fun. In my early 60s I continued to work at a job I enjoyed and then, choosing a career change, I submitted my retirement papers on my birthday, had a great retirement party as the important day grew closer and shifted gears.

at heart. My nephew the fire fighter jokingly reminds me that the older I get the more candles stand atop of my birthday cake - that it’s “really ablaze” and he definitely gets a kick out of that as he looks around the room, locating a trusty fire extinguisher, so I laugh back knowing that a birthday is a big thing to celebrate and a party, is a time to toast not just the passage of time and memories of birthdays past but to embrace that which is yet to come.

Nothing That Special About Age 70 would have to live 150 months, or about 12 years, beyond age 70 (in other words, until age 82) before you start coming out on the losing end of the Social Security stick. So, you’ve got 7 years yet before you need to go into a deep funk about having made the wrong Social Security choice. But to add to my earlier advice: if you’re still alive at 82, have a drink, jump for
joy (if you still can) and forget about that funk. In other words, “Don’t worry, be happy!” 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

’S PUZZLE
I wrote a recent column in which I pointed out that waiting until 70 to start your Social Security, which is the mantra of almost everyone who is trying to “maximize” their retirement benefit, is not always the smartest move. But still many people insist on waiting until that alleged magic age to draw their first Social Security check. Today’s questions come from these folks. Q: I have been planning to wait until 70 to start my Social Security. I will be 70 on Sept. 7, 2022. I want to make sure I get the absolute maximum Social Security benefit. I’m afraid that if I indicate September as my starting month, they will think I mean the August check that comes in September. And then because I will still be 69 in August, I will get the age 69 benefit rate instead of the age 70 rate that I’ve waited so long to get. Please help me. A: If you want your benefits to start at age 70, then you will indicate September (the month you turn 70) as your starting month for Social Security benefits. It’s as simple as that. But if through some kind of fluke, they accidentally use August as your starting month -- well, it’s really no big deal and nothing to lose any sleep over. In that case, you would not get the age 69 benefit rate. You would get the benefit rate payable to people who started their Social Security at age 69 and 11 months. And that would be two-thirds of 1% less than your age 70 benefit rate. So, your ongoing benefit rate would be a couple dollars less than it would have been had you started your benefits at age 70. But on the other hand, you would end up with one extra Social Security check. In other words, for probably the next dozen years or so, you’d be ahead if your benefits accidentally started at age 69 and 11 months. Q: My wife and I are both turning 67. Everything we hear and read about Social Security tells us that we should wait until 70 to start our Social Security. But we really don’t know what to do. We are so torn! We do have about $4 million in various investment funds, but we still want to make sure we get the biggest return on our Social Security investment. So, what should we do? A: As I always point out in this column, I am not a financial planner. I’m just an old, retired Social Security guy. So, all I can really do is explain Social Security rules to you. And the best way I can do that is by having you read the chapter about when to take your benefits in my little Social Security guidebook called “Social Security: Simple and Smart” that you can get at Amazon and other booksellers. But having said that, I will make this
observation: If I had $4 million available to me, I wouldn’t be losing sleep over my Social Security decision. It’s not like you are between a rock and a hard place when it comes to Social Security. You are between a pillow and a soft place. It sounds like you are going to be just fine no matter when you choose to start your benefits. To repeat, that advice is coming from a guy who is not a financial planner. But if you want some financial planning insight, see the answer to the next question. Q: Half my colleagues tell me I should wait until 70 to start my benefits. The other half tell me to take benefits now. (I’m 67.) I just don’t know what to do. A: I hear from financial planners all the time about this issue. And I can tell you that for every one who writes to tell me that I should always advise my readers to wait until age 70 to file for benefits, another financial adviser tells me that there is more and more research that shows the best course of action is to take benefits at full retirement age. So, there really is no clear consensus on this topic. But let me also add this. I hear from people all the time (usually widows) who tell me that their husband insisted on waiting until 70 to file for benefits. And then he died not too long after age 70, meaning that waiting that long was probably a mistake. On the other hand, I also hear from people now in their 90s who took benefits at age 62 who tell me they wish they had waited until a later age to start their Social Security. So, the bottom line is this: no one ever really knows. Obviously, each person just needs to look at a variety of issues when making that decision -- things like health status, life expectancy, other income, taxes, potential benefits to widow(er)s, etc. Q: I took my benefits at 66. I am now 75. I’m worried now that I made a big mistake by not waiting until age 70 to file. How do I figure out when I come out on the losing end of the Social Security stick? A: First of all, why in the world are you worrying about this? If I were you, I’d be jumping up and down with joy, shouting, “Hey, I’m 75 years old and still kicking and I’ve been getting my full Social Security benefits for 9 years now. What a lucky guy I am!” But still, if you’re going to fret about this, here’s how you can do the math. First of all, figure out how much you received in Social Security benefits between age 66 and 70. Let’s say that was $2,500 per month for 48 months, or $120,000. Then figure out what your age 70 benefit would have been. It should be about 132% of your age 66 rate, or $3,300. The difference between your age 70 rate and your age 66 rate is $800. Then divide $120,000 by $800 and you get 150. So, you

Is market reacting to recession fears, or just repeating history BY PHILIP A. RAICES After all these years in the real estate business, I have come to many conclusions, one being that “buyers are sometimes liars, sellers are some times yellers and lawyers are also sometimes destroyers.” Buyers, sellers and lawyers, please don’t be offended (as I heard this some 35+ years ago and had my doubts about its truth) by this real estate slogan, as it isn’t meant to insult anyone. It is to bring up a very valid and pertinent point in this column, that people change their minds and say one thing and then do another. When I am starting to converse with a client on the phone and listen to their specific “needs and wants” I have them paint me a picture of what are their realistic plans and goals. I begin asking probing questions to fine tune as best as possible what they are trying to accomplish whether, selling, investing, purchasing, or even renting or leasing any type of residential and commercial property. There are obviously major differences between a seller, investor, a first time purchaser, move up buyer, downsizer, a renter, divorce situation (I have a free book I just put out for those contemplating divorce) whether considering a home, HOA, Condo or co-op. Designing a specific search for each client only materializes once enough information is ascertained during the dialogue and conversation phase so I will become more efficient with the least amount of wasted time for both parties. However, people constantly change their minds due to personal reasons, changes in finances, or eventually what they finally purchase. What they don’t want initially sometimes is what they purchase. A homeowner needs to become a bit more realistic in pricing their home for sale today as the long lines at open houses are far a few between and multiple offers and bidding wars have slowed. Double digit price increases have decelerated as demand and sales have decreased, although inventory is still historically low. However, prices have increased 60% for a median priced home on Long Island from $350,000 in 2012 to $560,000 in 2021. However, interest rates have now doubled in the last 8 months, while inflation is still running rampant. All the monumental and excessive printing of money during the Pandemic, have disrupted the normal cycles of real estate leading to increased prices that probably wouldn’t have; also fueling
the stock market, supply chain disruptions, the exiting of people and families from the large populated cities out to the suburbs for more space and safety. The excessive demand in the purchasing of homes has raised prices to unfathomable levels and has been the number one factor in fueling our untenable inflation. So far, the previous rate increases have not yet controlled our inflation, so another increase of ¾% by our Fed Chair, Jerome Powell will be forthcoming by the end of July and more will occur throughout 2022. I firmly believe that no one really knows or has the answers or concrete solutions in curbing our incessant inflation; but raising rates seems to be the typical path, as history has shown us, that Fed Chairs use, to slow things down. However, too many increases could put us in a worse recession than we are already in as the last 2 quarters has shown that GDP (Gross Domestic Product was slightly negative). Whether we have a more serious recession or a softer landing will be determined going forward. A depression, simply stated is a much more severe recession and contraction in GDP. During the Great Depression of 1929-1933, real output declined 30% and unemployment rose from 3-25%. We are currently not even close to those figures. When Paul A. Volcker, was the Fed Chair in 1979, he was instrumental in making interest rates rise to 18.45% in 1981, to curtail higher than normal inflation of nearly 12%. This was caused by rising oil prices, government overspending and rising wages. (Sounds very familiar, eh?). As history has shown us, the end result was it caused housing price increases to soften at that time, and in the long run creating a stronger and more stable economy. Back then, Paul Volcker created a “tough love” scenario for our economy and it was a success. At that time, for some it was a great time to buy if you had cash; even if you were qualified to finance with those high rates (prices were 5-10 times less than today), many sat on the fence although some still took the plunge and bought homes when prices weren’t escalating as fast; and then refinanced years later as rates came down to more normal levels.
But what will these increased rates do to our housing and the cost of government debt today? The end result doesn’t look very positive for those locations that are currently overvalued where inventory has increased 2-3 times year over year. The insane prices also was caused by those who went through FOMO (fear of missing out), wild bidding wars, historic low rates and housing inventory that pushed prices way beyond the current inflation. However, due to the still severe lack of inventory, decreases in prices will be more moderate in those locations where prices haven’t increase by excessive amounts. Most have equity in their homes and foreclosures are not like they were in 2008 due to stricter lending rules via the Dodd-Frank Law and eliminating no doc loans. The cost of government debt will be a separate issue that everyone will have to address. What methods will they use to pay for the increases? As it stands today, interest on public and intergovernmental debt of 29 trillion will increase conservatively by 128 billion a year or more as interest rates increase as per Allan Sloan, Journalist at the Washington Post and his research at Treasury.Gov, fiscal data. I firmly believe higher income taxes will be coming (but for whom?) and the phasing out and revising of the Roth Ira for the wealthy w/10 million in savings as a starting point. There will be a lot of pain over the next several years before any stabilization of our economy and lower inflation will be realized. The party is over! Some smart sellers who don’t need all the proceeds from the sale should consider providing a short or intermediate mortgage for buyers. I formulated a mortgage plan for the buyer on a sale that we concluded this month. I suggested this to the seller, (who happens to be my sister-in-law). We provided a 5.5% interest rate with a 25% total down payment for a period of 5 years. Because this was an investment property, this enabled the purchaser to do the deal, the seller would pay only capital gains on the incremental amounts of profit received per year, stretching out her capital gains over a extended period of time, while still being in control as the lien holder on the house. It was a win/win situation
for everyone. However, if it is your primary residence, you will first have to determine whether there would be a capital gain and if not, still determine what you could earn in this volatile investment environment with somewhat certainty as opposed to providing a mortgage to a buyer. Talking with your CPA and financial planner will be a prudent way to determine which path to pursue that will be more financially beneficial with the least amount of risk.

A Stellar Chinese Valentine’s Day BY DENNIS MAMMANA Week of July 31--August 6, 2022 There’s a wonderful ancient Chinese story that tells of two lovers -- Niulang, a poor, orphaned cowherd and Zhinu, a young, beautiful weaving maiden and the seventh daughter of the Emperor of Heaven -- who once were separated and banished to the skies. The young maiden settled at the star Vega and the cowherd at the star Altair, forever separated by the Silver River (the Milky Way). When the magpies heard this sad tale, they decided to gather to form a bridge across the river, marked by what we know as the constellation of Cygnus, so the two lovers could reunite for one day each summer. That day -- the seventh day of the seventh lunar month of the Chinese calendar -- is celebrated as the Qixi Festival, also known as Chinese Valentine’s Day, and this year it occurs on Thursday, Aug. 4. The star Vega, also known to the Chinese as the Weaving Maid Star, shines brightly nearly overhead just after dark this week, while Altair, known as the Cowherd Star in China, lies below and to its south. Regular readers of this column may recognize these stars, along with Deneb, as those that form the famous Summer Triangle, visible in our skies every year at this time. The brightest of this stellar trio -- and highest in the sky -- is Vega, the most
prominent star in the tiny constellation of Lyra, the harp. This brilliant white star has a diameter and mass more than twice that of our sun and produces about 40 times more power than our star. As a result, astronomers believe that Vega will likely exhaust its fuel in only onetenth the time, making its expected life span only about one billion years. The southeasternmost of the three stars is Altair, the brightest in the constellation of Aquila, the eagle. Its name comes from the Arabic Al Nasr al Tair, meaning in English “the flying eagle.” One of the nearest stars to us, Altair lies about 100 trillion miles (17 light years)
from us. In other words, its light has been traveling through space for roughly 17 years, and the photons of light that strike our eyes tonight have been traveling in our direction since 2005. Finally, farthest to the north lies Deneb, located in the tail of the great celestial swan Cygnus. Deneb lies some 15,000 trillion miles (about 2,600 light years) from us -- so far that we see it as it appeared in the fifth century B.C. The light that leaves the star tonight won’t arrive here until the 47th century. Deneb is not only the brightest star in Cygnus, but also one of the most luminous in our entire galaxy. It shines
with a luminosity equivalent to about 196,000 suns. Just imagine... this stellar powerhouse generates more light in just one day than our sun has since the days of Marco Polo at the end of the 13th century! Of course, you can see the Summer Triangle on any night during the summer. I hope you’ll head out on Aug. 4 to greet these stars and recall the romantic story of Niulang and Zhinu. In the meantime, have a stellar Chinese Valentine’s Day! Visit Dennis Mammana at dennismammana.com. COPYRIGHT 2022 CREATORS.COM

“Hi, honey, it’s me,” I said to my husband on the phone. “Hey, what’s up?” he replied. Me: “I just got back from the orthopedist about my knee, and I wanted to let you know what he said.” Him: “OK. What’s the verdict?” Me: “He thinks I have a torn, um... a torn, um... shoot! I can’t remember what it’s called.” Him: “What does it sound like?” Me: “Umm. Oh, I know. It’s a torn

I have torn my... biscuits.” Him: “I don’t think those are a part of the body.” Me: “Maybe it’s my Spartacus?” Him: “That would be a Greek hero.” Me: “OK. Hang on a second. It is a torn hibiscus.” Him: “I don’t think that’s it.” Me: “No?” Him: “A hibiscus is a plant.”
Me: “I thought that sounded familiar. Well, I know it sounds like hibiscus.” Him: “How about meniscus?” Me: “Yes!!! It is a meniscus! That’s it!” Him: “OK, you have a torn meniscus. That’s not good.” Me: “I know, but he said they can fix it with a small surgery called an, um... um... art house copy.” Him: “You mean an arthroscopy?” Me: “Yes, that sounds like it.” Him: “But you still need surgery.” Me: “True, but the doctor said it
could be worse.” Him: “How’s that?” Me: “He said at least it’s not my Godzilla.” Him: “Patella.” Me: “Right.” 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!

Creamy coleslaw gets a healthy boost Sweet Country Coleslaw Serves 4 2 1 1 1 1 1⁄4 1⁄8 1⁄8 4
tablespoons fat-free sour cream tablespoon sugar teaspoon sugar tablespoon light mayonnaise teaspoon cider vinegar teaspoon celery seeds (optional) teaspoon salt teaspoon pepper cups packaged, shredded cabbage and carrot mix
Coleslaw is right at home at backyard gatherings. Individuals can make a healthier version that relies on less fatty ingredients so it aligns with healthy eating plans.
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together all the ingredients except the cabbage and carrot. 2. Stir in the cabbage and carrot mix until well coated. The mixture will be very thick. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving. The coleslaw will shrink in volume by about half during the standing time.
Coleslaw is a staple of backyard cookouts and picnics. Coleslaw is considered a Dutch food, though there are mentions of a similar cabbage dish served in Ancient Rome. The word
diment, usually vinaigrette or mayonnaise. Today coleslaw can be found prepackaged at supermarkets, sold by the pound behind the deli counter, or it can be made at home with
coleslaw is derived from the Dutch term “koolsla,” meaning “cabbage salad.” That’s not surprising, as the slaw is made primarily of shredded cabbage with a salad dressing or other con-
a few simple ingredients. It’s so versatile that it pairs well with anything from country cooking to ethnic delicacies. Those looking to lighten up coleslaw so it’s a little more nutritious can
enjoy “Sweet Country Coleslaw,” courtesy of “Favorite Family Recipes: 43 Dishes for a Healthy Soul” (Publications International, Ltd.) by the American Heart Association.
