COOL FUN ON JULY 4TH

BY RIKKI MASSAND

A beautiful July 4th day at the Pool was also “Family Fun Day.” Music, games and the annual Cardboard Boat Regatta made for a fantastic day. The pool did not disappoint on this hot summer day.

Garden City doctor helps to market natural sports drink BY GARY SIMEONE

Dehydration is a major cause of people feeling unwell and lethargic. Garden City resident and doctor Dr. Kamal Nayyar hopes a new product he and his colleague have recently launched will help to alleviate the symptoms that come with being dehydrated. The new beverage is called Infuse Chi, and it is marketed as a healthier alternative to sugar

and sodium packed electrolyte beverages such as Gatorade and Powerade. Dr. Nayyar and his colleague, Dr. Adalbert Pilip, who run New York Comprehensive Medical Care, came up with the idea for this new product after seeing multiple patients in their practice suffering from the effects of dehydration. “I’m a certified nephrologist

and my colleague, Dr Pilip, is a cardiologist,” said Dr Nayyar. “In our three year partnership working together we’ve seen many patients complaining of both mental and physical symptoms, such as heart palpitations, fatigue, dizziness and headaches.” He said dehydration was the cause of many of these ill effects and sports drinks like Gatorade See page 25

At its June 16th meeting, the Garden City Board of Trustees approved a redesign of the Village of Garden City website, authorizing the engagement of firm Civic Plus of Manhattan, Kansas, for a cost of $24,449 for the website redesign. In order to do so, the board also approved a transfer of $6,000 from the Village Hall Police Steps account into Data Processing -- Administration. Mayor Cosmo Veneziale has commented a few times on the need for a more user-friendly interface on the village website. The board did not detail components expected for a reimagined website. Trustee Bruce Torino commented on the “municipal lightspeed” in getting this firm interviewed, then having its proposal formalized on the agenda and approved on June 16. “This was done through the efforts of many individuals but I would like to recognize volunteers who engaged themselves in a particular project – through the efforts of Ms. Samuels and that of others, our website will look much better and it will bring us into a more cooperative ability to interface with residents. More things will be able to be done online, and you will be able to find things quicker,” he explained. Trustee Torino added that this website will be debuting in a few months, and at that time the board of trustees will be seeking feedback from residents “as to what works, what we need and what you think you’d want.”

Garden City Pool opens for season

Also at the June 16th meeting, Recreation and Parks Department Head Paul Blake noted that the Garden City Pool opened on June 11 to a nice sizable crowd and eager reception. He complimented all Garden City Pool members for coming down early in the season for their photographs, assisting the Recreation Department in processing cards. New Garden City Public Works Director Anthony DeRosa spoke about a request before the trustees to See page 25

A WORD FROM THE PUBLISHER

On a hot summer day As many residents know, the Garden City Pool is one of the best municipal pools around. We’ve visited pools in several other towns and generally they consist of the barest minimum of facilities - a pool surrounded by concrete. Garden City’s pool is lushly landscaped and includes facilities for everyone. There’s a quiet adult pool, the large center family pool with the water slide and the kiddie water play area. We’ve heard recently that there have been occasional closings of parts of the pool because there is a shortage of lifeguards. Indeed, the shortage is not just in Garden City, but throughout the region. We hope the pool administration finds a way to get some more help, especially during the period in August

when the college students who are lifeguards head back to school. One change we’ve noted over the decades is that more and more homeowners are applying for variances to install inground pools. Also, there’s been a rise in Garden City residents who join beach clubs. Both of these things could lead to a reduction in membership at the Garden City Pool over time, so if Garden City is to maintain its premier recreational facility, it’s crucial that the facility continue to meet the needs of patrons, and be fully open. Whether that means offering bonuses, overtime or the ability to adjust schedules, it’s important to keep the long term in mind.

A suggestion for the Committee

To the Editor: Several weeks ago, someone suggested that St. Paul's become a ruin similar to the Colosseum in Rome. Closer to home is an example of a historic building that was made into a ruin. It

is used as a site for outdoor concerts and Shakespeare performances, which is what we enjoyed that years ago. Just Google Barboursville, Va. ruins. Maybe it is something the Committee could consider. Linda Ryan

The Garden City Department of Recreation and Parks is pleased to welcome a free performance by the historic American humorist and author Mark Twain on Friday July 29, starting at 2 p.m. The performance will be held at the Garden City Senior Center located at 6 Golf Club Lane, a wonderful community resource added to the Village in 2016. The performance features another well known community resource with Rob Alvey appearing as Mark Twain. The Alvey family lived in Garden City for decades and Rob was one of the initial members of the Garden City Environmental Advisory Board as well as founder and chief “bird brain” of the Garden City Bird Sanctuary. He has received much acclaim for his impersonations as Mark Twain and he has appeared at the historic Friars Club in Manhattan, off-Broadway, on Mississippi Riverboats, was featured

Friday, July 8, 2022 The Garden City News

Mark Twain is back again: Free special performance as Twain in the audio play “Twain and Tesla- Annihilating the Distance,” as well as community presentations at the Garden City Public Library and Senior Center. Rob is offering this performance as a treat for all, regardless of attendees actual residence since it is also a featured activity for the GCHS Class of 1970 reunion. Samuel Clemens, also known as Mark Twain, was the author of “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,” “Tom Sawyer,” and other classics. He was known as the first American humorist and the Mark Twain Award for Humor is presented each year in Washington DC. Although Samuel Clemens died in NY in 1910, Mark Twain will live forever. As a special treat, come and hear Mark Twain actually say some of the many quotes that have been attributed to him although he never said them before. Then you, too, can claim membership as a Twainiac.

As a response to the many pleas that it is “too hard to wait until November for the next spectacular Friends of the GC Library Book Sale”, a special “Pop-Up” Book Sale will be held at the Garden City Library on this Saturday, July 9, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. It will feature hard covered novels by popular authors at wonderful prices. Even many recent best sellers in pristine condition will be included in the sale. A specially chosen selection of books on literature, cooking, crafts, biographies, self help, crafting and gardening will be available. Soft covered fiction, young adults and children books will be sold à la carte — virtually right off of the cart. Many of the programs at the library would not be possible without the donation of books, the support of the commu-

nity at book sales and the dedication of the Friend of the Library’s many volunteers. The Friends are so very pleased that the their sponsored Monday Movie Matinees have resumed. Next Monday, July 11, “The Courier” will be presented at 3 p.m. in the auditorium. So, please join the Friends on Saturday, July 9, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the front entrance to the library, weather permitting, or in the lower level of the library if rain clouds gather. You are also invited to browse the Book Sale Area at the rear of the library. For the month of July the focus will be on American history and biographies. The prices are not to be beat and the rewards, in terms of the programs that your support of these efforts enable the library to provide, is priceless.

We spend a lot of time daydreaming about our goals for the future. Buying a home, charting a new career, sending children to college or traveling abroad are common “bucket list” items. You may share these aspirations, or perhaps you have a completely different list in mind. No matter the case, a solid financial plan can be essential in helping you accomplish your life’s goals. Financial plans come in all shapes and sizes, but there are core elements that distinguish those that work best. A wellcrafted financial plan is: 1. Personalized. Your plan should contain the details of your current financial situation and outline your life goals, both near-term and extending into retirement. Using actual data can ground your plan in reality and help you see what you need to do to stay on track. Generally, there are four areas you should address: • Covering your essentials. Essentials are the monthly expenses that keep your life running, such as mortgage payments, utility bills and insurance premiums. Your financial plan should provide advice and solutions to cover your day-to-day needs while also providing for your necessary living expenses in retirement. • Maintaining your lifestyle. Lifestyle refers to the things you want to do and how you want to live today and into the future. If you dream of purchasing a second home or retiring in a warmer climate, your financial plan should quantify the costs of those goals and outline action steps to help you achieve them. • Preparing for the unexpected. Life is not without its surprises. Your financial roadmap should include contingency plans to help you stay on track financially when something unexpected happens to you or a loved one. This may include establishing an emergency fund and insurance coverage to help offset damaged property or lost wages.

• Leaving a legacy. Your legacy is the impact you make on people, charities and causes that are important to you – now, in retirement and after your death. Key components are naming beneficiaries on key accounts, building charitable giving into your financial life and estate planning to determine how you want your assets to be distributed to your heirs. 2. Comprehensive. All the bases of your financial life should be covered within your plan, from insurance to investments, cash flow, retirement, estate planning and everything in between. Include your financial obligations and goals, no matter how big or small they are. Seeing your full financial picture in one place makes it easier to adjust course or test scenarios as your priorities change down the road. 3. Dynamic. A financial plan is not a static document you create once and never revisit. Rather, it puts a stake in the ground that can inform future decisions. Your financial plan should be updated as your life goals and circumstances change. 4. Trackable. Without a plan, it is difficult to determine if you will be prepared to meet your anticipated retirement date, whether you have sufficient sums saved to put a child through college, or if you’ve taken proper steps to protect your family. In this way, your financial plan can help you stay accountable to your financial future. 5. Useful, no matter your net worth. Turning your goals into reality without a financial plan is a lot like driving in an unfamiliar place without a GPS. Regardless of how much you make or have saved, a financial plan can help you be strategic with your dollars. If you have not yet had a comprehensive financial plan prepared for you and your family, consider working with an advisor who can help you get started. Together, you can identify doable steps to help you work toward your financial dreams.

THE VIEW FROM HERE

The New York State political scene BY BOB MORGAN, JR. A few thoughts about the New York political scene in the wake of the party primaries for governor on June 28. Governor Kathy Hochul was the victor on the Democratic side, while Congressman Lee Zeldin is the Republican nominee. You do start out with a large Democratic advantage in New York State. The party has an approximately about a 2 to 1 registration advantage over Republicans and currently hold all statewide offices Indeed, Republicans have not won a statewide election in the Empire State since 2002. Democrats currently have more than two-thirds majorities in both houses of the state legislature and currently have a 19-8 margin in the state's delegation to the House of Representatives, and control both Senate seats. Democrats have also made changes to voting procedures deemed favorable to the party, including the initiation of early voting and substantial absentee voting. For this reason, and some others to be discussed, incumbent Democratic Governor, Kathy Hochul, has to be regarded as the favorite as she runs for a full term. Also, it should be noted that Ms. Hochul reportedly has a campaign chest of $35 million on hand. Nevertheless, I do not believe that Mr. Zeldin can be counted out. As an articulate candidate with a background as a lawyer, in the military, and in both state and local government, he presents an attractive face of the Republican Party. Mr. Zeldin has been able to win in Democratic areas, ousting both an incumbent state senator and a n incumbent Congressman. He has strong support within a unified party, and was a decisive winner of the primary. It also probably helps that he comes from Long Island, more of a swing area of the state, rather than upstate. But beyond these structural plusses, Mr. Zeldin does enjoy some key advantages on issues, and not just the overall GOP advantage of running in a potential wave year against a party with an unpopular president. Democrats have been in control of New York government for many

years (the last vestige of GOP control, the state senate, was lost in 2018) and they basically own the entire government. Accordingly, it is completely fair for Mr. Zeldin to argue that voters seeking relief from high crime, high taxes, a poor business climate, a chronically depressed upstate economy and substantial allegations of corruption among state officials have only one choice – making a party switch. Nor is Ms. Hochul particularly flattered by comparisons between New York’s recovery from the pandemic and that of other states like Florida and Texas. Mr. Zeldin can clearly claim that it is little wonder that so many people have decided to move elsewhere. Still, Mr. Zeldin will have to overcome two significant hurdles in making his case. The first is financial. Recent Republican gubernatorial candidates like Rob Astorino and Marc Molinaro have been completely outgunned financially. For example, although running pretty well upstate, neither candidate purchased significant television advertisements in the crucial (and expensive) New York television market. It is basically impossible to win in New York State without having your voice heard in New York City and its suburbs. Accordingly, Mr. Zeldin has to focus early in his campaign in finding enough money to get his message across. Second, and this is also related to the funding issue, Ms. Hochul is going to try to define Mr. Zeldin early in the race as a right wing ideologue, and attempt to tie Mr. Zeldin to Donald Trump and also to the two recent Supreme Court decisions on abortion and gun control, both of which are likely unpopular with swing voters.. Accordingly, Mr. Zeldin must keep the focus on the economic issues facing the state and needs to explain that the governor will have little practical impact on these judicial issues. Will Lee Zeldin be the first GOP governor of New York since George Pataki? It’s a tough race, but he has a fighting chance.

This early view of the Cathedral of the Incarnation was taken not long after its completion in 1885. The two houses in the photo are located on Sixth Street with the one on the right still there today. They were both built in the mid1870s. The photographer who took this photograph was standing just to the east of the Casino. What is most apparent in this photograph was just how barren the landscape was in those early days.

Incidents of Graffiti

The Police Department is investigating reports of graffiti at various locations in the Village, including the Denton Avenue overpass, Nassau Haven Park, Garden City School Bus Garage, Garden City Nursery School, and Community Park. According to Paul Blake, Recreation personnel cleaned the graffiti in both Nassau Haven Park and Community Park. The Long Island Rail Road is responsible for its removal at the Denton Avenue overpass, according to Public Works Superintendent Anthony DeRosa.

brick retaining wall will soon undergo a major preservation/restoration at a significantly lower cost than previously expected. The original masonry walls are being restored per my direction, resulting in significant savings in contrast to the original masonry wall replacement design details which would have lost most of the original historic masonry. Original cost estimates for replacement of the wall were approximately $900,000. The project, which was deferred in May 2021, will now cost approximately $150,000. Village personnel are currently checking references and the Board of Trustees is expected to award the project at the July 21, 2022 Board meeting. The freed up money could now be repurposed for other capital projects, Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi said.

In June, the MTA/ LIRR began a project to replace the Cherry Valley train trestle. The work to build the new abutments is expected to be completed before school begins in September. The new trestle is currently being built in Pennsylvania and will be disassembled and moved to the Cathedral property, which is currently being leased by the MTA. The trestle will be reconstructed and put into place next spring.

THIS WEEK AT ROTARY Faith Mission, Inc.: Feeding the Hungry, Clothing the Needy

Next Tuesday, July 12, 12:15, at Calogero’s restaurant, Mineola-Garden City Rotary will welcome Mary Joesten, founder of Faith Mission in Mineola as guest speaker. Rotary had become aware of this extraordinary facility whose mission is to provide food necessities and gently used or new clothing for individuals in need and their families. Founded in 1969 by Mary Joesten and her husband, Edward Joesten, an ordained deacon, Faith Mission was

born out of the Joesten’s concern for those less fortunate. Their mission: “fill an empty belly and nourish a hungry soul!” A non-profit 501 (C) (3) charitable organization, Faith Mission has had more than one home in which to operate - not unlike RotaCare’s search for a permanent home. Currently Faith Mission functions from incredible space at the Lutheran Church of our Savior, 132 Jefferson Ave. in Mineola. A couple of Mineola-Garden City Rotarians recently visited Faith Mission and were amazed at the efficiency and organization of this incredible opera-

tion. We saw a number of zealous volunteers scurrying about, loading non perishable food items into boxes atop rows and rows of tables along with racks of clothing and bags of donated clothes items waiting to be sorted on to hangers and neat stacks for distribution. We also saw generous donors entering the church facility with boxes of food items. It is heartwarming to see how from humble beginnings as a soup kitchen, that Faith Mission has evolved to a bustling hospitality center that helps thousands of people in need within the Mineola community.

Mary says that Faith Mission would be unable to operate as it does without the help of so many devoted volunteers, the support of family and friends along with generous monetary donations. A prestigious speaker, Mary Joesten is the recipient of local, national and international awards. To reserve for the lunch meeting on July 12 or 26, please email Meg Norris, Club president, at editor@gcnews.com. Stuart Richner, CEO & publisher, Herald Community Newspapers, to speak on July 26

From page 1

From page 1 authorize an agreement between the village and the Town of Hempstead’s Sanitary District No. 6 for a recycling truck to be borrowed. The reason stated is because one of the village’s recycling trucks is going to be out of service for several months until it is repaired. Administrator Suozzi elaborated and thanked Deputy Superintendent of Public Works Domenick Stanco for being the liaison between the village and Sanitary District 6, as well as Village Attorney Peter Bee for reviewing every aspect of the agreement, “to satisfy the village’s needs.”

The board also authorized a transfer of funds for its current budget year (20222023). It approved the move of $32,000 into the ‘Recycling - Maintenance of Equipment’ budget line from the village Contingency to cover unforeseen emergency repairs to its recycling truck. Suozzi said because Garden City obtained two recycling trucks through grants – recycling trucks that cost $250,000 each – it is obligated to run their trucks for 10 years. The repairs for the one that will be out several months comes at a cost of approximately $31,000. The transfer covers the repairs as other budgeted funds for the trucks every year cover new tires and other parts.

and Vitamin Water are not a good solution. “Drinks like Gatorade, Powerade and Vitamin Water are highly processed, filled with sugar and artificial flavors. They are not the answer as far as replenishing one’s electrolytes and keeping people properly hydrated.” Dr Pilip said many of his patients have been dehydrated for years and suffering the ill effects from the condition. “These are everyday people who are suffering with chronic headaches and dizziness as a result of not being properly hydrated. Within weeks of taking Infuse Chi, they immediately started feeling better and their symptoms resolved. There was a marked improvement in their mental and physical state.”

The doctors said they’ve been in the process of developing their new product for the last several years and brought it to market within the last year. “There is an essential combination of electrolytes and vitamins in this product without any sugar or artificial flavoring,” said Dr Nayyar. “It is a powder with a coconut water base that you mix in water and is easy for consumption.” He said Infuse Chi has seven key electrolytes, including sodium, chloride, calcium, zinc, magnesium and phosphorus. It is also chock full of vitamins that are essential for everyday health, including vitamin B3, B5, B6 and B12. Infuse Chi can be purchased at the New York Comprehensive Medical Care facility, with offices in Smithtown and Bohemia. It can also be purchased on Amazon for $30 for one-month serving.

Join us for a Tweens and Teens Continued on page 36

On Saturday, June 4, Assemblyman Ed Ra (R- Franklin Square) hosted a Bike Rodeo at Garden City Middle School for children ranging from kindergarten through fifth grade. More than 15 riders had their bicycles inspected, helmets fitchecked, and practiced skills like hand signals, lookbacks, and braking. “Many of us have fond memories as kids of spending our summers outside riding our bikes surrounded by our friends. It’s super important we pass that tradition on to the next generation and give them the knowledge and tools to get outside and have fun safely. Our bike rodeo was a great success, and I look forward to continuing to share these lessons and experiences with youth in our community,” said Ra.

Children from the Garden City schools get ready to hit the road for Assemblyman Ed Ra’s Bike Rodeo.

River Cruising on CroisiEurope’s Elbe Princesse: Martin Luther, The Reformation and Wittenberg BY KAREN RUBIN TRAVEL FEATURES SYNDICATE GOINGPLACESFARANDNEAR.COM Our ship, CroisiEurope’s MS Elbe Princesse, sails early in the morning of Day 6 of our Prague-Berlin river cruise for Wittenberg, reaching this historic city, the epicenter of the Reformation lined with noble Renaissance-style houses and a marvelous way of preserving history, in the early afternoon. The Martin Luther House, which was once an Augustinian monastery and now is the Reformation Museum, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a complete surprise – I might even say a revelation. I never expected to be so fascinated, so captivated by the unfolding of Martin Luther’s personal story so vividly depicted in the furnishings, artifacts, portraits and seeing where he actually lived, preserved pretty much as it would have been when he lived here. You begin to appreciate how one man could set a movement of such enormity – the Reformation! - into motion, how a single person could captivate and change the world. I start off fairly disinterested but as I go through the house – the museum contains 1000 original objects from the Reformation over the centuries to the present including the many publications he put out – the answer comes quickly: the Guttenberg printing press (there is even a replica). You realize that Luther and the Guttenberg printing press were like today’s social media influencers. Indeed, by 1520, Luther had become a media sensation, unlike anything

Lucas Cranach’s portraits of Martin Luther and his wife, Katharina von Bora. Cranach had the printing press that enabled Luther’s ideas and image to reach the masses, achieving his Reformation. © Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear. com anyone had seen before. Among Luther’s ideas that were heretical to the Catholic Church: Sins cannot be redeemed simply through confession, but faith; he reduced the seven sacraments to two, baptism and holy communion; he called ordination, confession, and last rites as “tricks of priests” to exert power. He called for the abolition of celibacy (and used that as the reason he got married, so he would not be a hypocrite); and said, “A Christian is free, subservient to no one (but subservient to all)” and he called upon the “electors and sovereigns” to implement the Reformation. But the most controversial, which really roiled the entire institution, was the idea you can’t buy redemption with an Indulgence (the next day in a church in Magdeburg, we see the wooden box that would have been used to collect the Indulgences), and that priests can’t rid people of sin, In June 1520, a Papal Bull accused

Luther of 41 errors and gave him 60 days to recant. Instead, he created a media spectacle and burned the papal bull and other items. Luther basically removed priests as the middle man between a Christian and his faith, and is most famous for translating the Bible into German, to make it more accessible (if I remember correctly, Jesus did the same thing to the priests). Luther had been a monk and his wife, Katharina von Bora, a nun, given over to a convent because her family could not afford to support her, lived here for 35 years. In what would have been their bedroom, we learn that Katarina fled the nunnery to marry Luther. A monk at the time, Luther said he should practice what he preached - abolition of celibacy. There is a wonderful quote from him (just about everything he said was dutifully transcribed by adoring followers) describing the surprising changes in his life after mar-

riage, and the pleasures of being part of a couple. They had six children of whom four survived to adulthood. We also see the living room where he would meet guests, have discussions which were transcribed and reported. (So modern.) The couple became well to do after their marriage. Katarina, who clearly did so much to propel Luther (among the journal accounts is how she poured beer for the guests), farmed, and rented rooms to students. Having been informed the day before to the importance of artist Lucas Cranach the Elder by my traveling companion, I am alert to seeing several Cranach paintings here, including the first authentic portrait of Luther, several others of Luther, and his monumental panel of 10 Commandments. (The Englishlanguage audio tour is invaluable to appreciating what you see.) At this point, I am admiring of Luther and how he democratized religion, breaking the theocratic authority of the Pope and priests. But I later learn that in two of his later works, Luther expressed violent antisemitic views and called for the burning of synagogues and expulsion of Jews (I wonder if Luther regarded Judaism as a rival for worshippers.) Luther wrote of a sculpture depicting an antisemitic scene, “Here in Wittenberg, in our parish church,” Luther wrote, “there is a sow carved into the stone under which lie young pigs and Jews who are sucking; behind the sow stands a rabbi who is lifting up the right leg of the sow, raises behind the sow, bows down and Continued on next page

River Cruising on CroisiEurope’s Elbe Princesse Continued from previous page looks with great effort into the Talmud under the sow, as if he wanted to read and see something most difficult and exceptional; no doubt they gained their Schem Hamphoras from that place.” The inscription “Rabini Schem HaMphoras” was installed above the sculpture 27 years later, in Luther’s honor. My traveling companion on the ship – who is from Munich – has told me to look for the sculpture in the church which I assume (incorrectly) is the Castle Church where Luther posted his Theses. I still have about an hour to explore Wittenberg on my own (the rest of our group are all French-speaking and led by a guide) – really not enough time. I would have loved to have the whole afternoon to wander. But, armed with an excellent map that pinpoints 36 important sites, I set out with an aim of finding the church and the sculpture.I head to the old market square and the Stadtkirche, also known as the Wittenberg Town Church of St. Mary’s. It was here that Luther delivered most of his sermons and also is where the first celebration of Mass in German instead of Latin took place. Wittenberg in general—and the Stadtkirche in particular—is considered the heart of the Protestant Reformation. There is a statue of Luther outside. But on the map, behind the church, I see a street name, Judenstrasse (Jew Street) that suggests the Jewish Quarter would have been right here. I later learn (from an article in Smithsonian, “Hatred in Plain Sight”)

that around the back of the Stadtkirche set into the facade is the carved sandstone sculpture depicting a rabbi lifts the tail of a pig to look for his Talmud that Luther referred to, that I was looking for. “The sandstone sculpture is a once-common form of medieval iconography called a “Judensau,” or ‘Jew’s pig.’ Its existence predates the Nazi period by nearly 700 years. Sculptures of Jews and pigs started appearing in architecture in the 1300s, and the printing press carried on the motif in everything from books to playing cards well into the modern period,” Carol Schaeffer writes in the Smithsonian. “Today, more than 20 Judensau sculptures are still incorporated into German churches and cathedrals, with a few others in neighboring countries. At least one Judensau—on the wall of a medieval apothecary in Bavaria—was taken down for its offensive nature, but its removal in 1945 is thought to have been ordered by an American soldier. The Judensau in Wittenberg is one of the best preserved—and one of the most visible. The church is a UNESCO World Heritage site.” (Later, at the Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York City, I see the newly opened exhibit, “The Holocaust: What Hate Can Do,” showing how centuries of culturally-embedded anti-Semitism paved the way for the Holocaust. See: https://goingplacesfarandnear. com/the-holocaust-what-hate-can-doat-museum-of-jewish-heritage-holdslessons-warning-for-today/).

There was an effort in Wittenberg to “solve its Judensau conundrum” by turning the site into a Mahnmal – a memorial to the Jewish people. Neither of these are included on the map, and I miss them entirely, thinking that the sculpture is in the Castle Church. But I do find the Cranach House. I’ve become fascinated with Lucas Cranach who turns out to have been an apothecary as well as important artist whose portraits filled the Luther House, and whose works decorate many church altars (including the one we had just visited in Meissen). You can visit the original apothecary (it’s still a pharmacy), and then go through to a courtyard where the Cranachs would have lived and today there is an art school. He and his son also served as Wittenberg’s burgomaster (mayor). I later learn how important a figure Lucas Cranach the Elder was in popularizing the Reformation. Cranach was the court painter to the electors of Saxony in Wittenberg, ground zero for the Protestant Reformation. His patrons were powerful supporters of Martin Luther and he embraced the movement, using his art to spread the new faith. Cranach made numerous portraits of Luther – several that we see in the Luther House - and provided woodcut illustrations for Luther’s German translation of the Bible. Cranach became such a close friend of Martin Luther that he was best man at Luther’s wedding and later godfather to his son. At some point,

the duke gave Cranach the monopoly for selling medicines at Wittenberg and a printer’s patent with exclusive privileges as to copyright in Bibles. Cranach’s presses were used by Martin Luther. His apothecary shop was open for centuries, and was only lost by fire in 1871. I notice that apartments on the second floor of many buildings through the town have names of their important occupants: Maxim Gorki (1903), Harriet Beecher Stowe (who wrote “Uncle Tom’s Cabin”), who lived here in 1852. I make it to the famous door of the Castle Church where, on October 31, 1517, Martin Luther is said to have posted his 95 Theses in Latin, challenging the notion that indulgences can buy salvation, that set off the Reformation. The old wooden Theses Door was lost when the church was destroyed by fire in 1760. In 1858, King Frederick William IV of Prussia funded the bronze door with the Latin theses. We get back on the bus and then back on the ship for lunch, and then a relaxing afternoon sailing to Burg. In the evening, we have another marvelous dinner and entertainment. Tomorrow, we discover why Magdeburg is so interesting. CroisiEurope, 800-768-7232, info-us@croisieurope.com, www.

Summer Shrub Color BY JEFF RUGG Q: My landscape is boring! It needs color in the summer, especially in July and August. I don’t want annual flowers that have to be replanted. There are summer flower beds with a few roses, but I think there should be taller flowers as well. What other shrubs bloom during this time of year? I think I am in Zone 5. A: There are several nice late-summer-blooming shrubs for mid-continent to northern areas. There are more blooming shrubs in warmer areas than in the north, such as crepe myrtles, gardenias and oleanders. Let us start with one that blooms across the country. Butterfly bush (Buddleia davidii) starts blooming in summer and can continue until the first frost. It has white, purple or pink flowers borne on 4- to 10inch spikes. They are fragrant and attract butterflies. The foliage is a soft gray-green and the growth rate is fast. The stems can be killed in a normal northern winter, but the plant suckers readily and will come back quickly. If it doesn’t get frosted back to the

ground, it will grow into an eight-foot-tall shrub. A denser plant can be kept at four feet if it is cut to the ground any time between when the leaves fall off and before they begin growing in the spring. This renewal pruning will not reduce flowering since they bloom on the ends of new growth. While buddleias survive many conditions, they prefer full sun and moist, well-drained soil. Another shrub that can be treated as a perennial and cut back in the winter is blue mist shrub or blue spirea (Caryopteris clandonensis). This shrub only grows to two feet tall and has blue, fragrant flowers. It has the same requirements as buddleia. The flowers are borne in small clusters along the stem. A hardy and pest-free shrub, summersweet clethra (Clethra ainifolia) has white to pink flowers that last longer than most shrubs (4-6 weeks). They are produced on the end of the new season’s growth and the clusters are six inches long. Once established, this is an easy plant to grow and tolerates sun or shade. It grows naturally in wet places and withstands salty conditions at the seashore. The deep green leaves turn yellow in October.

Another shrub group blooming this time of year are the hibiscuses. Rose of Sharon or Althea (Hibiscus syriacus) has flowers up to four inches across in all shades of white, pink, red or purple. It can be grown as a shrub or as a single stem small tree to about 12 feet tall and wide. It transplants readily, but don’t plant it in extremely wet or dry soils. It does well in full sun or partial shade. There are other tropical hibiscus shrub species that bloom all summer. They can be grown in containers in the north and in the ground in southern gardens. Hibiscus moscheutos is another shrub that turns into a perennial in the north, but it has dinner plate sized flowers, and it grows in wet areas along shorelines. There are several species of hydrangea that bloom in late summer and fall. Most have white flowers that may turn pink as they age. The blue to pink color group develop their flower color depending on the availability of certain nutrients that changes with the acidity of the soil. There are dwarf species that only grow a few feet tall and tall species that grow more than 15 feet high. Some bloom once and hold the flower clusters for a long time, while

A father’s death and a son’s awakening BY THOMAS BRENNAN My father loved our little block as did I. I learned at an early age to sense a singular mark of respect in a neighbor’s simple greeting that acknowledged the special niche he had earned from people living on that one small block in Brooklyn. Through the years, he became recognized for the reputation he had earned for both his mechanical skills and for his helpful disposition. Especially as he was known to be generous in offering his services for free for many of those who often called on him, he was known by almost everyone. Butler Place is a small one-way street wedged between one of the graceful surrounding hills that form a circle around Grand Army Plaza, and it ends about three hundred yards later as it abuts Sterling Place with its long row of solid and appealing four-story brownstones. My father once noted, “Anyone coming down this block either lives here, he’s visiting someone, or he’s lost.” “It’s like living in a small town,” he added. That we were only a few minutes’ walk to two separate subway systems, both of which would get you to Manhattan in fifteen minutes, was not lost on him. Almost everyone on the block owned something that was purchased at A & S Department Store located in downtown Brooklyn, in that dedicated commercial area just on the other side of Atlantic Avenue. As nothing was bought on credit, even the delivery of a couch was a matter of some importance. I am sure that there were many who preferred Saturday deliveries to provoke the interest of neighbors. “Will you look,” a neighbor might be imagined as saying, “the Brennans are getting a new bed room set.” But the first of many changes that affected the dynamics of this small town atmosphere was the stay at home aspect of a television set.

The first TV set I saw was a portable ten-inch screen that was perched on top of a bureau drawer in my friend Brian Leddy’s living room in a first floor rear apartment directly across the street from my apartment building. It was my understanding that Brian’s father had a heart condition of some kind, and under his doctor’s orders, he had positioned himself comfortably on the couch directly opposite their new TV set, whose pale, gray, fuzzy screen at first held an enduring fascination for all of us. Mr. Leddy seemed well-entrenched in his new position with sheets, a light blanket, and a fluffy pillow being provided, the pillow indicating to me a sense of permanence in this arrangement. Mr. Leddy was not simply taking a nap; this was his new lair. He would give a soft hello as I came in, and during this rather lengthy time of recuperation, he was always pleasant. I had developed the thought that Mr. Leddy looked forward to the interruption of my dropping by, even though I was only a kid calling for his son to come out to play. After the arrival of the TV set, Brian often invited me into the living room to check it out. Perhaps because Mr. Leddy never evinced the attitude of being vulnerable or even bored in his position on the living room couch, I eventually got used to the situation. I think he saw me as a welcomed distraction. Like many families, the Leddys could not afford much, but somehow Mr. Leddy’s condition and his total embrace of his doctor’s orders to take it easy for a while, allowed for the expenditure of a new TV set. We did not consider the ten-inch TV to be small as it was only a little smaller than the twelve-inch TV that was the only other option at the time. In fact, at this early stage of the game, everything on the screen seemed larger than life and more than adequate for our needs. Mr. Leddy would need to be diverted in his long recovery stage, and early television held a potential for endless

preoccupation. Even watching the advertisements held a certain appeal at that time. Television was new, and like the Sabre Jet that had developed during the Korean War, we viewed it as a distinct precursor of the type of technology that was coming right around the corner. Brian was always adjusting the portable aerial for his father resembling an eye doctor with a new patient being tested for a pair of glasses: “This way, Dad, or is this better? Okay, now try this.” I noticed that Brian developed a kindly manner of cooperation with his father in his new role as caregiver, a new level of maturity that I gave him credit for. Those who had the rooftop aerials avoided this annoying manipulation that Brian’s newfound gift for patience had provided. None of this appeared to bother Brian who had to be available to turn the channel dial, and I had developed the sense that his father seemed to accept his frail condition as an almost happy circumstance, an odd kind of vacation. Mr. Leddy loomed large under the covers, and his tilted head lying on the pillow as he looked at the TV set, appeared heavy-boned and dark. Yet he was very friendly and he had about him a certain good-natured warm appeal. Mr. Leddy’s hair and eyelashes were jet black as were Brian’s, and I was surprised how easily Mr. Leddy joined in our conversation, even if about some children’s program like Kukla, Fran, and Ollie, or one of the endless stream of cowboy films from the nineteen-thirties that were a welcome daily staple at that time. Mr. Leddy was big on the idea that the old time cowboys of his youth like Tom Mix and Ken Maynard, with whom we were somewhat familiar from early TV, and the National Theater on Washington Avenue, were the real deal cowboys in comparison to the Gene Autrys and Roy Rogers’ of his son’s era. I think that discussion, a generational difference of opinion on the relative merits of each other’s cowboy heroes, was a common one in homes where a TV brought the cowboy stars of the nineteen-thirties into the living rooms of the eagerly receptive children of the early nineteen-fifties. But no matter how enthusiastically Mr. Leddy described the rugged yet graceful horse-riding skills of the cowboy heroes of his past, they would always appear to us as having

the old-fashioned look of movie serials of the nineteen-thirties, rather than having the more modern Technicolor look that the cowboys of our own time and place projected on the local movie screen. Mr. Leddy was under the mistaken impression that his pervasive use of logic focusing on his heroes being great horsemen and real-deal rodeo cowboys, would have some impact on my very emotional attraction to Roy Rogers and other cowboys we were familiar with. Characters like young teenager Bobby Benson and the B Bar B Riders were radio favorites that added to the glamor of our cowboy fantasies. I had the impression that Mr. Leddy looked forward to my calling for Brian for as a rule, I just wanted to watch another Western when the discussion could continue. Brian and I both liked these conversations that were always conducted as if the issue was important, which to us it was. The only cowboy stars from the past having an appeal that came anywhere close to our favorites were Hoot Gibson and Hopalong Cassidy, both of whom we liked and considered more modern in their approach to riding on the range after villains wearing black hats. Then, even as I thought that Mr. Leddy was healthy because he looked healthy despite his permanent spot of residence on the couch, I would soon find out that there was a good reason for the doctor’s prescription of extended rest. Not too long after his confinement to the living room couch, I would be told by my mother as she sat me down beside her on our living room couch, that Mr. Leddy had left that morning to take the IRT train downtown to his union office where, while waiting on line for his check, he had fallen down, and was dead when he hit the ground, as it was later described. My very first thought upon hearing of the event was an apprehensive sense of sheer dread that is every child’s unspoken yet deeply-felt vulnerability. I could not imagine my father dying as he seemed so permanent, so invulnerable, and so vital to my life. I felt that Brian must have felt the same about his father who was now so suddenly gone. With that thought I felt frail and vulnerable – but most importantly, I would never take my father for granted again.

Reach in the Mailbag BY TOM MARGENAU I usually like to write columns centered on one particular Social Security topic. But every once in a while, I just like to reach into my email inbox and answer whatever questions I pull out of that online mailbag. Q: I am 82. My wife is 80. We both took our benefits at 66. I get $2,444 per month. She gets $1,670. If I die, what will my wife get in widow’s benefits? A: Sometimes Social Security benefit computations can be messy. But your situation is easy. If you die first, she will keep getting her own $1,670 benefit, and that will be supplemented with $774 in widow’s benefits to take her total benefits up to your $2,444 rate. Q: My wife and I both took our Social Security at 62. We are currently 63. We each work part time. My wife makes much less than the $19,560 we are allowed to make. But I have taken on a little more work, and I might make over that amount. Am I allowed to use that portion of her $19,560 that she is not using? A: Sorry, but it doesn’t work that way. The law sets a limit on how much a Social Security beneficiary under full retirement age can make. In 2022, that limit is $19,560. And it applies to each individual beneficiary. Husbands and wives can’t combine those limits. So, for each $2 you earn over $19,560, $1 must be withheld from your Social Security benefits. Q: I am 68. I plan to wait until 70 to file for my Social Security. But I’m not working, and I am worried that my projected age 70 benefit of $3,440 per month will be significantly less because I will have no earnings in the next two years. A: Don’t worry. Be happy! Because benefits are based on your highest 35 years of inflation-adjusted earnings, the fact that you will have no earnings between now and age 70 will have little if any effect on your eventual Social Security benefit. Q: I am 79. My husband is 81. We just got a divorce after 31 years of marriage. Am I due anything extra on his record now that we are divorced? A: No. The benefit rate payable to a divorced spouse is the same rate as that paid to a married spouse. In other words, if you were not due any spousal benefits while you were married to this guy, you are not due any spousal benefits now that you are divorced. But assuming his benefit rate is higher than your own, you will get widow’s benefits on his record if he dies before you do. Q: I am 84. My 87-year-old husband just died. I get my own Social Security of $1,980 per month. He was getting $1,575. When I called Social

Security, they told me all I am due is the $255 death benefit. I don’t trust the Social Security clerk I was talking to. Can that be right? A: Yes, it’s right. You are either due your own benefit or a widow’s benefit, whichever pays the higher rate. Your own $1,980 benefit is more than your potential $1,575 widow’s rate. So, you will just keep getting your own $1,980 retirement benefit. But you are due that onetime $255 death benefit. Q: I was married to my first husband for 20 years. I was a stay-athome mom during that time, so I have no Social Security on my own. I fell in love with a foreigner (a guy from Denmark) and I divorced my husband and married the Dane. Now I’m 65 and the Social Security people tell me that I can’t get any Social Security or Medicare from my first husband. And I can’t get any Social Security from my current husband because he hasn’t worked in this country. I think I should be able to get some of my first husband’s Social Security because I was with him for 20 years and raised his two children. A: I know that Social Security was the furthest thing from your mind when you fell in love with the Danish guy and left your first husband. But as you’re now learning, that romantic adventure does come with some Social Security consequences. The reason you can’t get benefits from your ex-husband’s record comes down to the issue of dependency. Benefits to spouses fall under the broad category of dependent’s benefits. You get benefits from a spouse because you are financially dependent on him or her. And obviously, at one time, you were dependent on your first husband. But as soon as you married the guy from Denmark, you became his dependent and your first husband went out of your picture (at least, your Social Security dependency picture). Q: I’m 67 and plan to wait until 70 to apply for my Social Security. But I heard that current beneficiaries will be getting a big cost-of-living increase next year. So, should I sign up for benefits now so that I don’t miss out? A: You don’t have to do that. Any cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) that Social Security recipients get are automatically built into the computation formula for future beneficiaries. Q: I’ve got several Social Security questions. Can you call me at 619-XXX-XXXX so I can go over them with you? A: Sorry, but because of the high volume of emails I get from my readers across the country, there is simply no way I can call everyone who wants to talk to me. Why not call the Social Security Administration directly at 800-772-

1213? They have thousands of telephone reps waiting to help you. Or send me an email with your questions included. If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has a book with all the answers. It’s called “Social Secu-

Can you live without credit, a driver’s license and insurance? BY PHILIP A. RAICES

oping you had an enjoyable, relaxing and fun July 4th Holiday with family and friends, and always remember our independence came from the sacrifice of many lives. Can you purchase anything today without some type of credit? The answer is yes if you pay cash as some may do. The same holds true when you want to purchase or lease a car as your credit is key to having a successful outcome at the least amount of cost. Moreover, your car and homeowner’s insurance will be affected by your credit scores too. Everyone either uses a credit or debit card, or if you are techier, then you are using your mobile phones, iPods, and even your voice to pay your bills with PayPal, Zelle, or Venmo. This has become an everyday, convenient and seamless process. However, when it comes to large purchases like a car or home, one will apply for a loan. Cars are generally much easier as almost everyone will qualify, as the interest rate for purchasing or the “factor” when leasing will solely depend on your profile and credit scores. Those with the highest scores will secure the best deal; but those with less than stellar credit e.g. 720-740+ percentile will, unfortunately, pay more. When it comes to applying for a home mortgage, the playing field is quite different. One can attain a mortgage for as little as 3% down, with a fair credit score ranging from 580-669. However, PMI (private mortgage insurance) would be required in the event of non-payment, so the bank would get reimbursed on a failed loan. Scores above 620, qualifies you for a conventional mortgage without PMI. In today’s society, your personal and business credit is very much the defining factor for borrowing money. You are rated by that magic number called a FICO credit score as well as your debt/income ratio. As one’s debts increase, so does that ratio and it sends

a signal about your credit profile and scores via, Experian, Trans Union, and Equifax to anyone who will be lending you money or who might want to provide you credit or credit cards. Excellent credit is as important and similar to having a point-free driver’s license as the cost of your insurance will be less with a higher score and at the same time the more you will qualify for the lowest interest rate from your lender. The Fair Isaac Company was the originator of this concept back in 1989. Prior to that time, you could have excellent credit scores, but your personal character-based profile, first impressions, and decision-making by your bank could determine whether or not the lender would provide you a loan. Discriminatory practices might have been used to deny a loan. Today, credit scores are used as a basis to determine the strength of the borrower and not character traits. Scores can range from 300-850 as a way to determine your creditworthiness and what, if any money a lender will provide you. Obviously, the higher the score the better the interest rates and terms of the loan. Low scores will cost you much more money when applying for an installment loan or mortgage. You should check your credit scores and profile at least once a year, which is free (you may have to pay $10-$15 for your scores). Determine whether the information is accurate and if not protest any derogatory remarks by writing to the credit reporting agencies making sure you note your full name, address and account number or if you are concerned about someone stealing your information, note at least the last 4 digits of the card or loan # with proof of the error(s). Another option would be to hire a credit fixing agency to do the

work. However, inquire as to whether they charge a flat fee or an amount per derogatory remark that is removed. Do your homework and be extremely careful before hiring a company as there are those that will charge you money and not provide the required results. So your first step would be to check with Consumer Affairs to see if there had been any complaints against them. Dunn and Bradstreet will also have a company’s profile and rating as noted and there could be irregularities, so it would be advisable to check it out once a year. Another avenue to check is online reviews and testimonials which will reveal and provide how a credit fixing company is viewed by consumers and whether satisfied with the services or not. My professional opinion is that your credit today is one of the most important, if not the most critical variable with respect to borrowing money, attaining reasonably priced insurance, and purchasing or leasing a vehicle. If you don’t take care of it by paying all your bills on time. If you are going to be late at least notify those companies that your payment will be delayed. They do allow a certain number of days (ask them) before they report to the credit bureaus as a late payment. Beoing late too many times could have a devastating effect on downgrading your credit scores and long term profile as a credit risk. As they say, “an “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” If you have any questions or need any advice about fixing your credit, don’t hesitate to call me.

Plants and Breast Cancer BY CHARLYN FARGO Consider a plant-forward diet to help reduce your risk of breast cancer. That’s the finding from a new French research study, presented at the recent annual meeting of the American Society for Nutrition. For the study, more than 65,000 French female participants (average age 53) completed nutritional questionnaires in 1993 and again in 2005.

The women were classified as following either a mostly animal-based diet or a diet that’s mostly plant-based. Researchers found that those who consumed a healthy, primarily plant-based diet saw their risk for developing any type of breast cancer drop by an average of 14%. What’s interesting about this study is that breast cancer risk fell only among women whose diets included significant amounts of whole grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes, vegetable oils, tea

and coffee -- even if red meat and poultry occasionally were part of their plates. But there were no protective benefits seen among older women whose primarily plant-based diet had a heavy reliance on fruit juices, refined grains, sugar-sweetened beverages and desserts. That type of diet, although plant-based, raised breast cancer risk by about 20%. What we eat matters, whether it’s plant-forward or not, and in particular, how much fiber is included in your diet.

Researchers explained that the high fiber content of the healthier plant-based diet helped lower cancer risk due to anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.

Check Out the “Not So Super” Moon BY DENNIS MAMMANA Week of July 10-16, 2022 Here we go again. Another month, and yet another “super moon”! What’s so super about the “super moon”? You may have already asked yourself this question after going out to see it and coming away thinking “Gee, it looks just like every other full moon I’ve ever seen.” Believe me, you’re not alone! The reason is that the hype doesn’t match the phenomenon. Let me explain with a more familiar analogy. Imagine that you stopped at your favorite Italian restaurant and ordered a 14-inch pizza. Now suppose that they brought you a 16-inch pizza by mistake. Think you would spot the difference immediately? And if you did, would you call the larger one a “super” pizza? I’m guessing the answer to both questions is no. That’s because there’s only a 7% difference in size between the two. And even if you did notice it would hardly be worth getting excited about. So, what does all this have to do with the moon? Well, let’s talk about the full moon coming up next Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. Regular readers of this column already know that when the moon appears near the horizon it always seems to appear larger than normal. This is not real but is caused instead by an optical trick known as the “moon

illusion.” Look at the moon again when it lies high overhead, and you’ll see that it seems to have “shrunk.” Of course, it hasn’t; it’s just that when it appears high in the sky there are no foreground terrestrial objects to fool our brains into creating the illusion, and the moon appears as a smaller (more normal) size. Now go out at dusk on Tuesday, July 12, and watch the full moon rising in the east, or at dawn on Wednesday, July 13, to see it setting in the west. At those times not only will the moon appear larger because of the moon illusion, it will also appear larger because it’s closer to Earth. This occurs because the moon doesn’t orbit the Earth on a circular path, but instead moves along an ellipse that regularly carries it closer and farther during its monthly cycle. Astronomers who accurately measure the moon’s distance tell us that this is constantly changing. And when we see the full moon setting in the west at dawn on Wednesday, July 13, it will lie very near to its perigee (its nearest orbital point to the Earth), only about 221,994 miles away. That’s 16,861 miles -- only 7% closer -- than its average distance. This perigee, of course, occurs every month, but when a full moon occurs around perigee you will often hear it called a “super moon.” At those times it appears only 7% larger than the average full moon -- about the size difference

between a 14-inch pizza and a 16-inch pizza. So, what’s so “super” about the “super moon”? Absolutely nothing, just the media once again trying to create a story where there is none, but that shouldn’t stop you from getting

Something to Crow About BY TRACY BECKERMAN It isn’t every day you see a guy walking down the street carrying a 50-pound rooster. Of course, I’m only guessing it was 50 pounds. I really have no idea how much he weighed -- the rooster, I mean, not the guy. I’m assuming around 50 pounds because he was enormous, and the guy seemed to struggle to get both arms around him. In truth, the rooster looked more like a turkey than a rooster. But I heard him crow, which let me know that he was undeniably a rooster -- not a turkey, just a very large rooster. Still, it was less surprising to see a very large rooster than it was to see a rooster of (SET ITAL) any (END ITAL) size being carried down a suburban street. People around here walk dogs down the street, and on one occasion I saw someone walking a goat, which was

strange but not as strange as a rooster being carried down the street. At first, I thought maybe the rooster had flown the coop and the guy was bringing the rooster home, I guess, to roost. But then I saw him again. And again. And then a fourth time. At this point it became clear to me that the man was not rescuing his rooster. He was taking his very large, 50-pound, pet rooster for a walk. Naturally I found this pretty curious, and I wanted to ask the guy why he kept carrying this heavy rooster down the street. I thought maybe the guy might be depressed and he had an emotional support rooster. Or maybe the rooster was depressed, and he needed a change of scenery. But if so, why not just let the rooster walk himself? Or if he doesn’t like to walk, why not get him a wagon and take him for a ride? Even one of those infant carriers would be easier on the back than carrying a giant

rooster in your arms down the street. Especially a depressed rooster. Alas, I didn’t know the man so I thought it would be weird to approach him and ask him questions about his pet poultry. I began to keep an eye out my window every day, around the same time, hoping to catch sight of them and maybe get a clue as to why this was an ongoing occurrence. But every day it was simply the same show of the guy carrying his rooster down the street. Eventually my curiosity got the best of me, and I couldn’t stand not knowing anymore. So, one day when I saw the man carrying his rooster, I ran outside and approached him. “Excuse me, I’m sorry to bother you,” I said. “But every day I see you out here carrying your rooster and I just had to ask you why.” He nodded, rebalancing the weight of the compliant rooster in his arms.

“My friends have some hens down there but no rooster,” he said. “So, I’ve been bringing him over to fertilize their eggs.” “Why don’t you just drive him over?” I asked. “Can’t,” he said. “He gets carsick.” “Oh,” I said. “So, why not just walk him on a leash?” He shook his head. “He refuses to go.” “Why is that?” I wondered. He shrugged. “I guess he’s a little chicken.” 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!

LIRR Third Track Update

During the month of July, you will see crews performing the following construction activities in Garden City: Utilities Crews from EJ Electric will continue the process of removing temporary utility poles across the entire project alignment. In some areas, workers may have to access private property in which case the project will coordinate in advance with individual business/property owners Tanners Pond Rd / Denton Ave. Bridge Replacement Project Sidewalk drainage pavement and refurbished granite from the original Denton Avenue Bridge is being installed on the south side of the bridge and is expected to continue through mid-July. The project team is coordinating closely with the Village of Garden City to finalize the design of the new traffic configuration and re-open the roadway. As a result, local road closures and detours are in place for the time being. Tanners Pond Road/Denton Avenue is closed from Main Avenue to Railroad Avenue.
