Town, restaurants launch shell recycling effort
Town officials, including Town Clerk Rich LaMarca, Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino, and Councilwoman Laura Maier, join Cooper Bluff owner Russ Lundstrum in demonstrating the process of the new shell recycling program.
The Town of Oyster Bay and local restaurant owners have announced an innovative new shell recycling initiative to strengthen the local marine environment. Under this program, the Town seeks partnerships with local restaurants and other entities to collect oyster and clam shells from dinner plates and kitchen preparation tables. Town aqua-culturists regularly pickup shells from local partners and deliver them to an environmental curing facility. Once ready for deposit into waterways, the shells will be strategically placed at the bottom of local Oyster Bay and Cold Spring harbors. “The shells from your dinner plate provide an excellent source of habitat for young shellfish to grow as they offer protection from predators and weather conditions,” said Supervisor Saladino. “My administration is committed to improving water quality, expanding the shellfish popula-
tion and bettering our environment. This Oyster and Clam Shell Recycling initiative expands upon our ongoing efforts by recruiting local restauranteurs to recycling their shell-waste and better our harbor.” While this Oyster and Clam Shell Recycling initiative helps the environment, it also helps restauranteurs toward achieving compliance requirements with the New York State Food Donation and Scraps Recycling Law while also reducing waste carting expenses. Local businessowners could also potentially receive a tax incentive, currently under review in New York State. Shellfish are essential mollusks in the local marine environment as they filter water through their feeding mechanisms. A single adult oyster can filter up to 50 gallons of seawater per day, making shellfish Mother Nature’s most valuable marine
Hicksville HS student wins Local business closes after notable art competition 50 years in community BY GARY SIMEONE
Helping each other out during tough times was the inspiration behind Hicksville High School student, Lily Wagner’s, winning artwork. The soon-to-be senior’s art piece, entitled ‘Guiding Light,’ was awarded first place in the Congressional Art Competition (New York 3rd district.) The competition is a national event held on a yearly
basis for high school students across the country. Wagner said she entered the national competition in April at the request of her high school art teacher, Craig Mateyunas. “He thought I would have a good chance of winning the competition so I entered the contest,” said Wagner. “I found out the good See page 11

Assemblyman John Mikulin (R,C-Bethpage) honored a local business this week as they closed their doors for the last time. Swan Prime Meats and Italian Specialties was presented with an Assembly Proclamation by the assemblyman for their decades of distinguished service to the Bethpage community and greater Nassau County as they served their last customers the last week of July, having decided to close after 50 years
in business. “Swam Prime Meats has been a community staple throughout my life, and the lives of so many others. But really it is the story of its owner Tony Lagana, who has built the American Dream here in his business that is so inspiring to us all,” said Mikulin. “We deeply appreciate Tony’s service to the community, his hard work See page 11

Dr. Christopher Dillon The Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District has hired Dr. Christopher Dillon as its new assistant superintendent for business. He takes on the role from Richard Cunningham, who retired this spring. “Dr. Dillon comes to our District with impressive credentials and a proven track record of putting students first,” Superintendent of Schools Dr. Mary O’Meara said. “I know he will continue the hard work of responsible budgeting that is mindful of taxpayer concerns while providing the best-possible education for our students.” Dr. Dillon got his start in education as assistant superintendent of administration for the Plainedge School District. Later, he served as assistant superintendent of business for Valley Stream District 30 and, most recently, the Levittown School District, where he oversaw an operating budget of $240 million for 7,300 students and more than 300 employees across 11 school buildings. As assistant superintendent for business, Dr. Dillon is responsible for the daily operations of the District, including managing finances, investments, security, transportation, facilities, insurance, food service, purchasing and athletics. Before entering the education field, Dr. Dillon worked in the private sector, first in the equipment operations department for the PepsiCo company,
and then with the Kohler Company as an account manager. “I come from a family of educators,” Dr. Dillon said. “My mother was a teacher, recently retired, and my father is the superintendent for Nassau BOCES. What drew me back to education was being able to do what’s best for the children. Since then. I haven’t looked back, and I enjoy every second. I look forward to continuing the mission of providing as many opportunities as we can for the Plainview-Old Bethpage students and to continue giving them the resources they need for success.” Dr. Dillon has presented on both national and local levels on topics ranging from servant leadership and school security initiatives to school district operations at conferences such as the One Voice International Conference and Expert Educational Roundtable, the 74th National School Boards Association Conference, and the 96th New York State School Boards Association Conference. Dr. Dillon has also served as a guest lecturer at Hofstra University and Long Island University CW Post on topics such as school district operations, human resource management and school district financial practices for the schools’ school district leadership advanced certificate programs. Dr. Dillon is also an adjunct professor for the College of Saint Rose and Sony Brook University, teaching school finance and human resources, school law and school district accounting. Additionally, Dr. Dillon serves on the board of directors for Reform Educational Financing Inequities Today, a consortium of Long Island districts which advocates for equitable school funding. He also serves on the executive board of the Nassau County Chapter of the New York State School Business Officials Association. Dr. Dillon holds a bachelor of science from St. Johns University, a master’s in business administration from Mount Saint Mary College, a certificate of advanced study in school district leadership from SUNY New Paltz, a certificate of advanced study in school district leadership from the College of Saint Rose, and a doctorate in educational administration from Dowling College.

Best OF Nassau County WINNER PRESENTED BY BLANK SLATE MEDIA
Voted Best Supermarket
After more than a two-year hiatus, the volunteer program at Adults and Children with Learning and Developmental Disabilities, Inc. (ACLD) has made a triumphant return this summer, thanks to the hard work and dedication of Keller Williams Realty of Greater Nassau and its supporters. ACLD, headquartered in Bethpage, is a leading not-for-profit agency on Long Island with a mission to help children and adults with disabilities pursue enviable lives, increase their independence and foster supportive relationships within the community. Keller Williams Greater Nassau participated in outdoor maintenance activities such as laying down mulch, planting annuals and perennials, and preparing ACLD's planters for vegetable planting season. Volunteers also painted 46 birdhouses, one for each of ACLD's residences. Keller Williams Realty, a leading technology and real estate franchise, holds an international day of service each May called RED Day (Renew, Energize, Donate). On RED Day, all Keller Williams franchises around the globe close, and their staff and agents head into their local communities to partake in service projects. “At Keller Williams, our motto is ‘Give Where You Live’. This is our focus,
throughout the year. The importance of giving back to our local communities is paramount as these are the same communities that support our businesses, day in and day out,” said Gina Padro, NYS Licensed Real Estate Associate Broker with Keller Williams Realty of Greater Nassau and Team Leader of the Gina Padro Team. As part of their RED Day efforts, Keller Williams hosted a RewearAble goods and clothing drive for the two weeks leading up to the day of the event. RewearAble is a clothing recycling program designed to create sustainable employment for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. In total, 1,119 pounds of clothing were collected and donated to ACLD’s RewearAble Program. “We are very happy to be welcoming back volunteers to our campus,” said ACLD president/CEO Rob Ciatto. “For 65 years, community connection has been a cornerstone in our mission to provide enviable lives to the people we support. As we navigate this new normal, we are excited to see volunteers back on our campuses.” For more information on volunteer opportunities, call Sarah Klaum at (516) 822-0028 x211.

Bethpage’s ESY Year Eats makes summer sweet
Bethpage students and staff involved in the ESY Eats program sell tasty treats and drinks outside of Bethpage High School every Thursday from July 5–Aug. 12. Middle and high school students in the Bethpage Union Free School District’s Extended School Year program are whipping up tasty treats and connecting with the community this summer through the ESY Eats program. ESY Eats is a student-run business that launched last summer to help promote student vocational skills. This summer, the program kicked off on July 5 and will run until Aug. 12 at Bethpage High School. Each week, students involved in the program shop, prepare and sell delicious baked goods and drinks to Bethpage administrators and staff, along with community members. With the support of Ryan Catterson, coordinator for vocational experiences and founder of ESY Eats, along with special education staff members, the students prepare a new menu each week which usually follows a creative theme such as Christmas in July, zoo animals or carnival. The menu theme typically correlates with an upcoming field trip that the students
attend at the end of the week. ESY Eats runs like a full business. Community members are encouraged to fill out a digital order form through Google every week. Once the students receive their orders, they head to the grocery store to collect the supplies they need. They prepare by baking the treats and fulfilling the drink orders. Once Thursday rolls around, the students station themselves outside of Bethpage High School at a large, decorated table and distribute the online orders to customers. Community members are also welcome to stop by if they want to purchase food or drinks. In addition, ESY Eats has a mobile cart which the students utilize to deliver orders to administrators and staff inside Bethpage High School and the district administration building. Through these deliveries and sales, the students strengthen their social and math skills as they converse with customers and distribute the correct change. The program

Bethpage student Anna Pappadelias used ESY Eats’ mobile cart to deliver orders to staff members around Bethpage High School. encourages ESY students to reach their full potential by building business and life skills. From creating a menu on large posterboards, to successfully packaging orders, students involved in ESY Eats are practicing skills that align to their own individual goals and having fun doing it. “The inspiration behind ESY Eats came from a desire to create authentic vocational experiences for our students in the ESY program,” Mr. Catterson said. “In addition to the already outstanding academic piece, I wished to create a program in which students could learn realworld skills in a safe, nurturing learning environment.” Aside from Mr. Catterson and special education staff members, the students receive a helping hand from Bethpage High School seniors and alumni who are
interested in pursuing a future career in education. By working closely with the students in ESY Eats, these individuals gain valuable experience for the future. Throughout the summer, the ESY students collect the money that they receive from their successful sales and place it into the Explorations Club account. Explorations Club is a club at Bethpage High School aimed at giving special education students opportunities through vocational experiences. Last year, ESY Eats raised $1,600 and donated profits to Special Olympics NY.

From page 1 news in early June, through a zoom call with all of the other winners.” In her portrait, Wagner said she drew a picture of her face in a dark room with her eyes closed shut. Her face was receiving flashes of light from a giant hand that emanated from the darkness. “The significance of the hand was that it represents our community of Hicksville and what the community has been through over the last several years with the Covid-19 pandemic and other hardships. My face represents me and our community as a whole and how we’ve been there for each other in the toughest of times.” She said those times included helping each cope with the loss of several residents from Covid-19 and the overall anxiety people have endured over the last three years. As a result of her winning submission, Wagner was invited to a breakfast and reception in Washington D.C. on June 24th. She attended the event with her family, who was there to witness her winning artwork adorned on the walls of

and perseverance in business, and his dedication to providing customers with the best – not just in products like meat and Italian imports, but also customer service. Like so many families across the community, my own family has been patrons of Swan Prime Meats my entire life, since I was born. Tony has watched generations of us grow up. We will miss the establishment greatly but
miss Tony’s influence most of all.” Starting the business at the Nassau Farmers Market in Bethpage many years ago, Tony Lagana built up the business and his loyal customer base until he was able to move into the Wantagh Avenue location. Over five decades he strove for excellence and was well known for his expertise in meat as well as ensuring customer satisfaction. The business formally closed on July 31.

Idyllic Trip: Biking and Boating from Bruges to Amsterdam BY KAREN RUBIN TRAVEL FEATURES SYNDICATE GOINGPLACESFARANDNEAR.COM I have been wanting to do this bike tour from Bruges to Amsterdam (or reverse) for years, and like so many having come out of the trauma of a global pandemic, decided not to it put off any longer, but seize the day! I booked with BoatBikeTours.com. Besides offering a great biking route, the eight-day/seven-night trip is by boat – so your room (and stuff) floats along with you (in fact, we see our boat frequently from the bike trail). The boat itself provides other marvelous experiences – a couple of afternoons relaxing (there’s even a hot tub!) while watching the gorgeous scenery go by, and the camaraderie on the ship. (Even better, as it turns out, the boat meets us to pick us up on two afternoons when a thunderstorm is expected). I am surprised at how many Americans there are on this biketrip, since BoatBikeTours is based in the Netherlands, but I am sure the other Americans, who are in the majority on this trip, are as delighted as I am in finding this bike tour operator. The Europeans include a couple and a group of four from England and a family of four from Dresden (where I had just visited) which adds to the pleasure of this trip. The Americans come from all over – Oklahoma (who protest that they are not like those rabidly red Oklahomans), Michigan (actually Holland, Michigan), Seattle, Washington, Idaho, Colorado, California, New York. (Two couples who were expected had to cancel for COVID.)
Biking onto our ship, the Princesse Royal at Tholen, after riding 23 miles from Kreekkrak, which will sail on to Dordrecht on the BoatBikeTours eight-day trip from Bruges to Amsterdam © Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com Each evening, our guides Corrie Stein and Arnold Thurkow – as pleasant and personable as they are expert leaders - discuss what we will see and do on the next day’s ride, and typically, there is a short version and option of a longer ride. Everything we experience is exactly as it is presented in the brochure – which is saying a lot. Each day is an absolute delight in every respect, and my longtime dream is realized even better than I imagined it would be. We are quickly introduced to the fabulous bike trails, paths, roadways that we will follow from Bruges, Ghent, Antwerp all the way to Amsterdam in this most bicycle-friendly region of the world, where biking is a predominant culture. In fact, it seems we see more bikes than cars in the course of our trip.We cycle through gorgeously scenic – and flat – western Flanders region of Belgium, famous for its medieval towns and castles,
and Dutch countryside of Zeeland, a big river delta of the Rhine, Meuse and Scheldt Rivers. Among the highlights: we see Ghent by canal boat, tour the fascinating Red Star Line immigration museum in Antwerp, explore the iconic (UNESCO heritage) Dutch windmills in Kinderdijk, visit an artist’s gallery in a tiny village, and tour a Dutch cheese farm. And then there are the serendipitous experiences – like the downpour while we lunch in a barn with cows and goats, and biking back to the boat from Dordrecht at night, our bike lights making us look like a line of fireflies, a highlight for everybody. We find something of interest around every bend, in towns, villages and landscapes you would otherwise never see – Dendermonde, St. Amands, Tholen, Breukelen (immigrants from here settled Brooklyn!). In between cycling excursions, we cruise along these lovely canals and rivers, the scenery absolutely gor-

geous. Each place we dock, we are able to get off and with marvelous narration by Corrie and Arnold that adds immeasurably to the experience. Importantly for me, we generally spend sufficient time in places to get a sense of them – I don’t feel hurried away – like when we visit what I consider the highlight, the UNESCOheritage site of the Kinderdijk windmills, and Antwerp (though this is a city I would definitely come back to, to really explore). Our route takes us passed privately owned castles (just look, don’t visit), a very unexpected farm museum, a Canadian soldiers’ war cemetery. Our ship, the Princesse Royal, is extremely pleasant – just the right size, marvelous fun and comfortable for our travel. Its hull is constructed along the lines of a seagoing sailing vessel, giving it a somewhat unique shape, but the vessel was converted to a passenger barge for inland waterways. The boat was restyled and refurbished in 2010 and during the winter of 20123, extended by 14 meters. There is a very pleasant dining room/lounge area as well as outdoor seating area (even a hot tub!). There is even WiFi (free). The Princesse Royal, which sails under the Dutch flag and management, plies the inland waterways of the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany with an crew of seven, led by Roy van der Veen who is the owner and captain of the ship ands not above hauling in lines himself; a mate, a chef, housekeeper, hostess and two tour leaders. The crew all speak Dutch, English and German. Continued on next page

Biking and Boating from Bruges to Amsterdam Continued from previous page The Princesse Royal takes a maximum of 33 passengers in 16 comfortably appointed cabins. All cabins have portholes (all portholes are fixed for safety reasons), shower, toilet, a washing bin, individually regulated air conditioning, flat screen TV (satellite), 220/230 Volt electric sockets, a small safe and hair dryer. The cabins are cleaned daily. The meals are marvelous – breakfast is served as a buffet with some special hot item and items are laid out for us to pack a lunch to take along. In the evening the chef serves a three-course dinner – surprisingly exotic and diverse, always extremely flavorful, substantial and healthy. One evening (during our overnight stop in Antwerp), dinner is on our own (our guides offer helpful recommendations). We don’t get a choice of entrée but accommodations are made for dietary restrictions with advance notice; more strict diets are accommodated at an additional charge. Coffee and tea are available all day long (there is a very sophisticated coffee maker). In addition, there is a bar serving beer, red and white wine and various kind of liquors which does a brisk business (they keep a tab that is paid in cash at the end of the trip). It is important to also emphasize that travelling by small ship and bike is one of the most sustainable, responsible ways to travel, with the least adverse impact on environment or community, while also providing the economic wherewithal to sustain the heritage we
have come to see. The tour company notes that wastewater is collected in a separate tank that is regularly emptied; we are provided a water bottle to refill with tap water (all the ship’s water is filtered) and we are given paper bags instead of plastic to wrap our lunch. In addition, the company makes a carbon offset payment to the non-profit organization Justdiggit Each day, we are given written cue card directions, as well as have the opportunity to download RideGPS if we wanted it on our smartphones that operates just like your car GPS, with a map and voice navigation and a means of using it off-line. But there is no need, because we follow our leader (one of us volunteers to be the sweep), though I enjoy following the cue sheets also. We are also supplied with helmet, waterproof pannier bag, water bottle, and the tour includes the fees for ferries. I’ve done some hard trails – like the five miles up Cadillac Mountain Road in Arcadia National Park last summer on Discovery Bicycle’s Coastal Maine (you’d think “coastal” meant flat, well you’d be wrong, but this part of the ride was optional); South Dakota’s Badlands and Black Hills with Wilderness Voyageurs which featured a five-mile straight up road in Custer State Park; Albania with BikeTours (I had an e-bike for the first time, which opened a whole new dimension). I was in the mood for something more relaxing, and the Bruges-Amsterdam bike/boat trip is exactly that. Not only
the comfort (and fun!) of being on the boat, but the itinerary is absolutely perfect – especially for first-time biketour goers, for families, and especially for people looking for the most picturesque route you could imagine, with options for shorter or longer rides. And this route is incredibly flat and easy – the only “hills” involved riding over bridges – so that our bikes only need 7 speeds. The daily rides are absolutely perfect – constantly scenic, endlessly interesting, very fun. Biking is the best – bringing you through villages, neighborhoods, even to people’s backyards, you would never see otherwise, at a pace you can really enjoy – slow enough to really observe, fast enough so there is an endless change in scene, almost like a movie. And you can stop for a photo or just to take it all in. And then there is the physical pleasure of biking – the endorphins that get revved up, the fresh air. And discovering places and their interesting stories – like Dendermonde, St. Amands, Tholen, Vianen, Dordrecht – that you otherwise would be unlikely to discover. And everybody bikes in Belgium and the Netherlands (I’m told Utrecht has the largest bike parking lot in the world, accommodating 12,500 bikes but the one at Amsterdam’s Central Station is the most enormous I’ve ever encountered). You’d see a guy coming toward you looking like he was riding the Tour de France and realize as he speeds by he is a wrinkled old yet incredibly fit man; little kids bike; families had their
kids in Bakfiets (literally translates into ‘box bike’, a popular cargo bike that the Dutch use to carry almost anything, including children of all ages from place to place). The trails, paths, roads, and segregated bikeways, with their own traffic signs and signals and traffic-calming systems that keep shared roads safe for cyclists, add to the absolute delight. In fact, cycling accidents are rare – the Dutch don’t even use helmets. Everything is set up for bikes. And the rules of the road are very specific. Arnold on our first afternoon reviews all the different signs and signals (shark teeth pointing at you means “take care, give priority to traffic.” “Don’t assume,” Arnold tells us finally. “Look in the eyes of the driver, if he stops and waves you through, okay. Don’t take the right of way. Give it.” Our first night’s dinner sets the table for the rest: the first course is shrimp fried in garlic and white wine; the main course is pork fillet with red wine sauce, green beans, zucchini, potato au gratin; and dessert is a puff pastry with vanilla cream. We are on our way. Today’s ride takes us from Bruges to Ghent, 35 miles.

Water for Health BY CHARLYN FARGO Ever wonder how much water you should be drinking daily? The answer depends on a lot of different factors, such as your age, activity level, whether you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, the temperature outside, your medications, your health, the food you eat and even
whether you have access to air conditioning. The U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine determined that an adequate daily fluid intake is about 15.5 cups (3.7 liters) of fluids a day for men and about 11.5 cups (2.7 liters) of fluids a day for women. Other health experts often recommend people drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water per day. This is commonly known as the “8x8” rule. It may not apply to everyone, though. That may or may not be enough. What’s clear is even mild dehydration can affect us. In a study published in Oxford Academic Journal, researchers found that a fluid loss of 1.36% after exercise impaired mood and concentration and caused headaches. Another study, published in the journal Obesity, found that drinking more water than usual (before meals) helped with weight loss. Middle-aged obese or overweight participants were assigned to one of two groups for a 12-week pe-
riod. Those who added 500 milliliters of water before their daily meals (compared to no water) lost 4 pounds more than those who didn’t drink water before their daily meals. Drinking enough water also helps with constipation, preventing urinary tract infections and kidney stones, and skin hydration. And it’s true other foods that contain water can help. Those include other beverages, celery, cucumber, lettuce, zucchini, watermelon, strawberries, cantaloupe, cauliflower, peaches, oranges and grapefruit, broth and soups, tomatoes, peppers, cabbage and yogurt. As we age, water is even more important as aging brings about physical changes that affect the body’s ability to cool itself and stay hydrated. Medications can also affect a person’s ability to stay hydrated. In addition, many older people avoid drinking water because going to the bathroom is harder. They also may not “feel” thirsty anymore. Diseases such as dementia can make older
adults more susceptible to dehydration as they may have a limited ability to communicate thirst. Here are some tips to know you’re staying hydrated in the heat: No. 1: Drink throughout the day for clear, pale urine. Continued on page 5

Sometimes, You Just Can’t Win BY TOM MARGENAU
I’ll tell you this: Sometimes, you just can’t win. I’ve learned over the years that you have to have a pretty thick skin to be a Social Security columnist. And that’s because people will frequently misread something I write, or they will take something I said the wrong way, and then they let me have it by sending me an email chewing me out for my alleged misstatements. For example, in a recent column, I wrote about the Social Security concerns of women who are or were married to bad husbands. OK, to be honest, I called them “jerks.” More than a few very upset men wrote to tell me that it takes two to tango! They told me about their wives or ex-wives who weren’t exactly paragons of womanly virtue and suggested I was being a “man-hating jerk” myself. But in that prior column, I said I knew there had to be more than a few bad wives out there. However, I also pointed out that when I get Social Security questions from a member of an unhappy couple, they always come from women married to a loser. Still, I got an earful from more than a few irate men. Sometimes, you just can’t win. I also wrote a couple recent columns where I mentioned there might be advantages to taking benefits at full retirement age or even sooner. And sure enough, I heard from several financial planners who told me I am misleading my readers because they believe you should always wait until 70 to file for benefits. One guy even accused me of “leading senior citizens down the path to financial ruin!” If you read those past columns, you’ll note that I gave reasoned arguments for taking benefits at age 70 and for starting them at full retirement age. Still, the “wait until 70” crowd blasted me all the same. Sometimes, you just can’t win! And here’s a twist to that tale. Following that recent column, I also heard from financial planners who scolded me for not doing a good enough job of pushing full retirement age as the best course of action for soon-to-be retirees. In other words, two groups of people, reading the same column, came away with diametrically opposite opinions about what I said. Sometimes, you just can’t win. One time I wrote a column explaining benefits available to women on a husband’s Social Security record. I got an email from a woman who told me she could never trust anything I wrote again because in that column, I failed to mention that a woman must be married for at least 10 years to collect benefits. But the column in question was addressed to women currently married to their husbands. The 10-year rule applies only to divorced spouses. I wrote back to the woman and told her that. And she said, “You still can’t be trusted.” Sometimes, you just can’t win! Interestingly, that same column elic-
ited a diatribe I got from a woman who yelled at me for using my column “to pander to married women.” She told me she’s sick and tired of hearing women gripe because they aren’t getting enough in spousal benefits on a husband’s Social Security account. She told me, “These women need to get a life and learn to live on their own without the support of a man.” And she said I should stop writing about spousal benefits and just use my column to explain benefits available to single women. I wrote back to tell her that I get far more questions, probably a hundred times more questions, from married or divorced women and from widows than I get from single women. She was not happy with that response and let me know it. Sometimes, you just can’t win. And then there are emails from the word police. I was an English major in college. I spent a good chunk of my career with the Social Security Administration as the chief editor of all their public information booklets, pamphlets and fact sheets. I’ve been writing this column for about 25 years, and I’ve penned several books on Social Security as well as some children’s books. So, I think I have a fairly decent command of the English language. But that doesn’t stop word critics from correcting me all the time. For example, one guy chewed me out because I referred to someone getting Social Security “checks.” I know that benefits come in the form of direct deposit transactions. But I’m pretty sure people know what I mean when I talk about “your Social Security check.” Another guy yelled at me because I referred to the extra money you get if you delay starting your Social Security benefits until 70 as a “bonus.” He pointed out that they are legally called “delayed retirement credits, or DRCs.” I knew that, of course, I just think my readers will more easily understand the term “bonus” then they will the abbreviation “DRC.” Sometimes you just can’t win! And don’t even get me started about the political side of Social Security. For example, all I have to do is say something rather innocuous like “Social Security has helped people in this country” -- and zealots will jump on their keyboards and blast me with emails labeling me a socialist or even a communist. As one guy wrote to me: “There’s Lenin. There’s Stalin. There’s Putin. And then there is you!” My goodness. All because I think the Social Security program has been beneficial to this country, I’m lumped in with some of the world’s great despots! Sometimes, you just can’t win! A couple years ago, I wrote a column in which I tried to explain the problems inherent in plans to privatize the Social Security system. I can’t even begin to rehash the arguments I made in that column in the limited space I have here today. But here’s what I found so intrigu-
ing. That column prompted several angry emails from guys who accused me of being a “pinko socialist.” Honestly, that didn’t bother me. As I hinted at in the prior paragraph, I’m used to getting tagged with that moniker. But here’s what I found so intriguing. That same column elicited an email from a guy who called me a “capitalist apologist.” So, I’m both a socialist and a capitalist! It just goes to show how people can get so wrapped
up in their ideologies that they can easily misinterpret the words right in front of them on their computer screen or on a newspaper page. Sometimes, you just can’t win. Having got all that off my chest, I’ve got to point out that the vast majority of readers who contact me are very appreciative of the service I supply by writing this column and for the job I do helping Continued on next page

Is your home heated by natural gas, oil, or electricity? BY PHILIP A. RAICES Supplies of oil and gas are at a very low level, as reported in most news reports, and will continue to be that way for the rest of 2022. So the cost of heating your home and the use of electricity will be considerably higher based on current trends and increases in the price of oil and natural gas. This has occurred, partially attributed due to the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, but mainly because of the reduction and lack of drilling and exploration by all the oil and natural gas companies. The big oil conglomerates have been previously advised that the new economy going forward will be moving away from fossil fuels to more less polluting and energy efficient cleaner methods, namely, more solar, wind, maybe hydrogen fuel cells, etc. They will be supposedly converting to new energy sources in the future and away from oil and gas or just not as fast as one would believe. But will this really be accomplished? Gas is more efficient, less polluting, and still less costly in producing heat when temperatures are above 20 degrees. You also do not have to worry about deliveries or any oil tank either. Your natural gas bill is budgeted and averaged over the 12 months instead of receiving a huge bill for oil. Could we go back and revisit nuclear power as a clean energy source? Maybe, if we can build plants safely, determine proper and adequate, common sense, and logical evacuation plans as well as ascertain where to permanently store the spent fuel cells and other radioactive materials after five years of use; then our energy needs could most definitely be satisfied. However, the space needed to safely store the radioactive material is far far less than 1 hour of coal waste products and from what I have read is still somewhat safer than using coal for our energy needs. However, there are several studies pro and cons against the use of
nuclear power. However, Europe is able to successfully use this form of energy safely with fewer deaths than the usage of coal-fired plants as per several studies comparing the two as per an article done by William Marshall for Stanford University on March 16, 2019. (large. standfor.edu/couses/2019/PH241/marshall2/). France has successfully mastered its energy needs with 80% + of its electricity being produced through its safe and less costly nuclear power. So why can’t we? Looking back, after years of costly increases and cost overruns, the Shoreham nuclear power plant, which was supposedly going to provide cheap electricity, was decommissioned on May 1, 1989, and fully decommissioned in 1994, over safety concerns and the lack of consensus on a viable evacuation plan. We have the technology but are we that lame and incapable to be able to build and maintaining a safe and secure nuclear power plant in the future? For now, I guess so! GM says it will no longer produce gas engines by 2035, converting its production to all-electric EVs. But the real question will be how will that electric to charge and create your EV batteries be produced from what source, oil, gas, solar, wind, etc.? To me, right now hybrids are the best choice for transportation since the electric motor is accompanied by a small gas engine that assists in charging the EV battery without plugging it into re-charge overnight. Gasoline usage is cut drastically as you are generally running on the electric motor. So for now, we will all be using natural gas, oil, or whatever form of energy
that you may have to create your heat. Some may even have or possibly purchase a wood-burning stove to heat their homes. (I had one back in the late 70s which kept our home toasty warm during the winter using less than 275 gallons of oil). But I now know pollution was still created in another fashion by burning wood, but financially it was my best route to take at the time. How are all our electricity and heating fuel needs going to be produced in the future? With less availability of oil and natural gas and no end in sight due to lack of drilling and the creation of new supplies, price stability going forward will be jeopardized. Prices will be considerably higher and you have to be prepared as much in advance financially as well as be proactive in how you handle your individual situations. Whatever source you may currently have and the type of heating unit, I would suggest that you check out its’ efficiency ASAP, so your heating dollars will go as far as possible before your next bill. The value of your home will benefit greatly from an efficient heating unit. Consider keeping your thermostats as low as possible, (I keep mine around 60 degrees and its setback to 55 at night), and wear a sweater or 2 during the day. The north side of your home is the coldest area, so if you have any water pipes there, either keep the heat on enough to keep them from freezing or you can purchase 24V wire that wraps around the pipe to keep them from breaking during the winter. I have an outside pipe that is wrapped with that wire and I have had complete success with no breakage. So be smart and be proactive and check out your heating systems efficiency today or suffer the consequences of much higher bills this winter.

Ring World: Saturn BY DENNIS MAMMANA Week of August 7-13, 2022 It’s often been said that beauty lies in the eye of the beholder, so if I were to ask which is the most beautiful of all the planets, I would expect a variety of answers. Some might say it’s the delicate white crescent of Venus; others would prefer the undulating cloud bands and dancing moons of Jupiter. Still others may choose the ominously red planet Mars. One can certainly make a good case for each, as well as for our own blue and white Earth. But if you’re like most stargazers, you’d probably answer: “the ringed planet Saturn.” And with that I must agree. So, for all you Saturn lovers out there, this month’s for you! Saturn reaches its “opposition” point in mid-August (officially on Aug. 14) when it appears as a bright “star” in our sky opposite the sun, rising in the southeast at sunset and glistening all night. You should have little trouble spotting this distant world since it’s easily the brightest object in that part of the sky. And making it even easier to find, on the night of Aug. 11 it will appear next to the full moon. Not only does Saturn’s opposition mean that it lies opposite the sun in our sky, but it also means it’s closest to the
Earth. That week Saturn approaches within only 823.3 million miles of our planet and produces a marvelous view through a small telescope. If you’ve never viewed this planet for yourself, you have no idea what you’re missing. Everyone’s first glimpse through a telescope elicits a gasp of wonder (and accusations of it being a projected slide!), as the remarkably three-dimensional ring world appears suspended against the darkness of space. Even a small instrument with a magnifying power of only 30x or so will show its rings as well as Saturn’s largest and brightest moon Titan. Of course, viewing through a larger telescope with a higher magnification under good skies will show not only the planet’s rings but also a break within them known as the Cassini Division. Making the sight even more meaningful is an appreciation of what we’re seeing. Saturn is a world made almost entirely of gases, with a diameter about 9.5 times greater than the Earth’s. Its rings, if brought here, would fill much of the space between our planet and the moon. Though the rings appear solid to the eye, we know today that they are composed of billions of individual ice chunks -- some as tiny as dust grains, some as massive as mountains -- all whirling about the planet at tens of
thousands of miles per hour. Saturn will remain in our evening sky throughout the late summer and autumn, but during the next month or so expect it to offer a truly spectacular sight through a small telescope. If you don’t have one of your own, call your local planetarium or amateur astronomy club to see when their next public “star party” will be so you don’t miss
this remarkable sight. One glimpse at the stunning ringed world and I’m sure you’ll agree: Saturn is indeed the most beautiful planet in our solar system! Visit Dennis Mammana at dennismammana.com. COPYRIGHT 2022 CREATORS.COM

Accusatory Dog BY TRACY BECKERMAN “I think your dog is judging me,” I said to my brother. We were having lunch at his house and the dog was giving me the side eye. “You think he thinks I took too many potato chips? I looked at the dog. “Did I take too many potato chips, Elvis?” The dog squinted at me. “I think he wants (END ITAL) your potato chips,” my brother said. I looked back at the dog. He definitely had a judgmental look about him, which is quite a feat for a golden retriever -- a breed that never looks judgmental but almost always looks thrilled to be with you, wherever you are, at any time. But Elvis didn’t look thrilled. He looked judgy. Disapproving. And just a little bit accusatory. “Am I sitting in his seat?” I wondered.
“What?” said my brother. “No. he’s a dog. He doesn’t have a seat.” “Maybe he thinks I smell bad,” I wondered. “This is a dog that rolls in dead things,” he said. “I don’t think he thinks you smell bad.” “Then it’s my shirt, right?” I said. “Does he think it makes me look fat?” “NO! It doesn’t. He doesn’t,” he said. “Then why is he looking at me like that?” I asked. We both turned to look at the dog, who immediately turned away and stared at a spot on the wall, like only someone who was looking at you judgmentally and didn’t want to get caught would do. The dog feigned indifference and pretended that all was fine in the world while I knew it was just an act for my brother, and as soon as my brother shrugged and went back to his lunch,
Elvis looked back at me and gave me the side eye. I decided two could play at that game, so I raised one eyebrow and stared back at him. But he just dog-judged me harder and I knew I was definitely in the doghouse for something. “I think I have offended him in some way,” I said to my brother. “Maybe I have bad breath? Bad hair? Ugly shoes?” “Who?” he said. “Your dog.” “Are we still talking about that?” he said. “He just wants your food.” “No, that’s not it,” I said. “I know a ‘Gimme food’ stare when I see one and that’s not it. It’s something else.” I realized that I was probably beginning to sound paranoid and there was a good chance my brother was soon going to judge me, too, and then I would be getting accusatory glances from both of
them, and I would just have to take my potato chips and leave. Fortunately, I had a long history with my brother, and he knew I was a little cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs, so he nodded, looked around, and then smiled. “I got it,” he said. “It’s my shirt, right?” I said. “He doesn’t like my shirt?” “No,” he said, reaching over to my chair. “You’re sitting on his lambie.” 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!
