The village took action after it was notified that a homeown er was diagnosed with an ele vated lead blood level. Once that occurred, the village noti fied its engineering consultant (Melville-based H2M Architects + Engineers) and the Nassau County Department of Health. According to the village, in that instance investigations confirmed that there was no evidence of lead contamination in the village’s wellThefacilities.August 30 notice/letter from the village to residents stat ed, “It is recognized that effec tive corrosion control measures such as increasing pH levels can be a key factor in managing lead concentrations.

In its mission of educat ing residents about environ mental issues, the Garden City Environmental Advisory Board recently discussed its methods of public outreach regarding water contamination and conservation.

The EAB discussed various forms of social media messaging including on Facebook and specif ically posting on the Garden City Moms & Dads page for reaching a high number of people. Trustee Mary Carter Flanagan, the chair person of the EAB, said there are many places on social media where the messages are being posted and she is not sure there are many groups of residents that haven’t heard. On August 17 Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi con firmed that EAB information and its meetings’ presentations are posted on the Village of Garden City website. On Tuesday August 30, a new post on the website titled “Important Information About Lead in Your Drinking Water” noted that the village has “found elevated levels of lead in drinking water in some homes/buildings.” This was a precursor to letters with the same information the Village of Garden City has mailed to all residences. It informed residents that lead can cause serious health prob lems, especially for pregnant women and children 6 years and younger. The instructions accom panying this post/notice encour age residents to have their homes’ drinking water samples tested. The notice informs residents, “The village water system has exceeded the action level for lead. Specifically, this action level was exceeded in 14 of 65 homes tested in required compliance samples in the six-month monitoring end ing on June 30, 2022. Because lead may pose serious health risks, the EPA set a Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG) of zero for lead. The MCLG is the level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.”

Chief Matthew Pearn and the Officers and Members of the Garden City Volunteer Fire Department would like to invite all village residents to join the department for its annual 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony at the Village 9/11 Memorial located at the Village Green & Gazebo at the corner of Hilton Ave and Stewart Ave. The remembrance ser vice will be held Sunday, September 11, 2022 at 6:00 p.m. All are welcome to attend.The service pays tribute to the 23 Garden City res idents that perished during the attack on the World Trade Center, the 343 members of the FDNY, 23 members of the NYPD and 37 members of the PAPD killed, as well as those who have died of 9/11-related illnesses.

High alert To the WithEditor:thewelcome mat thrown out by President Biden, millions of illegals are penetrating our country through the southern border. We don’t know who they are and what track records they have. They are continuing to be flown and bussed all over the country--for instance, to Manhattan in the sanctu ary city of New York. Upon the arrival of busses coming from Texas, Mayor Adams is giving individuals a welcome package that includes clothing, food, and money. He has also decided to tem porarily house these people in fancy hotels such as The Row NYC, which provides rooms ranging in price from $414 to $435 per night. Isn’t this an open door for the coun tries which hate us to send their crim inals and terrorists into our country? For instance, Iran and Al Qaeda are likely to seek vengeance for President Trump’s killing of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani as well as President Biden’s elimination of Al Qaeda leader Al-Zawahri. Remember, Iranian polit ical analyst Abshenas recently made the following remark: Iran is entitled to kill so-called terrorists Mike Pompeo, our former Secretary of State, and John Bolton, our former National Security Advisor.Doesanybody know how many indi vidual terrorist cells presently exist in our country? Do we have to wait for another 9/11 disaster before we take any action? I think we are playing withHeinzfire!Mayer

In last week’s issue an article “Estates POA to hold special meeting Sept. 14” stated that under the Property Owners Associations’ new primary sys tem “all residents interested in serving as trustee will participate in an open primary in their section of the village.” To clarify, under New York State law, residents have always been able to run for village and school board seats independent of the POAs by completing petitions and gathering signatures as required by law.

Pool hours cut short To the Editor: I love the Garden City pool. It’s one of the reasons I still live in the village. There is nothing like an evening swim or just relaxing with other members. I also appreciate the talent and hard work of our lifeguards and staff. They do an amazing job. I was saddened that this year a solu tion couldn’t be found to keep even a portion of our beautiful pool open after 6pm starting August 16th to September 5th.For working members and many oth ers, it was almost impossible to make it to the pool before it closed. So for three weeks many members were shut out. I understand there was a shortage of lifeguards, so I contacted other pools in the area -- Mineola, Floral Park, Williston Park, and Clinton Martin. All of these pools found solutions to keep portions of their pools open to either 7 or 8 o’clock until Sunday, September 4th. They acknowledged that it wasn’t easy due to the shortage but found a way. I also understand their facilities are smaller, but GC members asked the office to try to keep only one pool open past 6 pm. In closing, I’m asking that the Parks and Recreation Dept please start plan ning now for the 2023 pool season. If this problem can’t be solved, please be more accurate when posting the pool hours in the pool booklet so that members can plan accordingly. ThankCatherineyou.

I think it is worth noting that there was no escaping the sensory experience of encountering death after death. Days into the operation there was no escaping the smell of death, burning materials and acrid smoke that permeated the environment in which we were working. That entire first week, we only had paper masks to cover our noses and mouths. None of us knew then the possible exposure we were facing in this operation. I am sure it would not have mattered to any of us at the time. Each time we returned to New York over the next seven weeks, the site 9

That became the new norm—with each recovery, everything stopped until a chaplain prayed over the remains and then the procession/process continued.

Bishop Provenzano to preach at Cathedral on 9/11

This Sunday, September 11, the Right Reverend Lawrence C. Provenzano will deliver the sermon at the 11:15 a.m. Mass as the Cathedral of the Incarnation in GardenBishopCity.Provenzano shares the pain and loss of the attack and deeply connects with the victims and their families. Please join us on Sunday as we gather to honor those who lost their lives, their families who continue to grieve, and the many people who are still affected by the evil of that day. The following was written by Bishop Provenzano last year, on the 20th anniversary of the attack: Reflection written for a compendium of memories and reflections of the Massachusetts Corps of Fire Chaplains As we come to the 20th year commemoration of the attack on 9/11, my memories of that day and the days that followed are as vivid as if they were yesterday. Before I realized that I would be deployed in the next several days to assist with other members of the Massachusetts Corps of Fire Chaplains, in what was then still being called a Search and Rescue operation of the FDNY, our family had to confront our own personal loss. That day my wife’s cousin and her four-year-old daughter had boarded a flight in Boston on route to Los Angeles. Ruth and Juliana died as their plane slammed into the south tower of the World Trade Center in New York. We quickly prayed a memorial liturgy for them on Saturday and I then joined our first deployment on that SundayApproachingevening.the site at night, packed into a van, provided an immediate and startling vision of the massive destruction that had occurred. Our then Chief Chaplain, Fr. Dan Harris, and I were assigned to the first twelvehour shift in the makeshift morgue that was created beside the overhang of the American Express building. It was nothing more than a collection of plywood supported by two by fours and some quickly hung tarps leading to refrigeration trucks twenty feet away. For the first several hours, nothing but fragments and small body parts were being found, collected in white, fivegallon pails. Each bucket, carried by an FDNY firefighter was catalogued by an EMS member and then moved to a plywood table for examination by a morgue worker—often a city or military coroner. In this procession of recovery, cataloguing and examination, was an MCFC chaplain. Each and every recovery was prayed over, sometimes sprinkled with holy water, and reverently accompanied along the way. It allowed us then, later in the week, to honestly tell families members that the remains of their loved ones were treated with reverence and dignity, regardless of the manner in which they died. In that first week, we realized that twelve-hour shifts were too long for any of us to endure physically or emotionally. We immediately established rolling eight-hour shifts around the clock during each deployment over the next seven weeks. Fr. Dan Harris also realized, that like himself, some chaplains would not be able to sustain the ministry in the outside morgue. By the end of that first two days, Fr. Harris removed himself from the morgue rotations and began to assist with notifications to families and fire companies around the city. Within the first few days it became very clear that there would be no rescues and the entire operation became search and recovery. Also, during those first few days, Dan and I were present when the first full body of an FDNY firefighter was recovered. We both stood with the personnel present, as they stepped aside and allowed Dan and I to pray the prayers over the body commonly understood as “last rites”.

“The reception we’ve gotten since reopening has been absolutely fabu lous,” said Mangan. “We’ve had a huge amount of visitors, including families who have brought their children down to ride the carousel. We’ve had grand parents who’ve come and shared stories of their experiences riding the horses when they were younger. We’ve had first, second and third generation riders here.”The carousel originally opened to the public in 1912 in Brooklyn, under the name Murphy’s Carousel. In 1940, the ride was moved to Baldwin, where it remained opened for fifty-five years. It closed its doors in 1995, and had remained in storage for several years before moving its location again to Museum Row in Garden City in 2009. Things were going smoothly until March of 2020, when the pandemic hit, and businesses, including the LICM and carousel, had to close up operations.

The carousel has forty-one multicol ored horses and one lion and two chari ots for people to ride. It was recently awarded the NCA Historic Carousel award, which is given to carousels that meet a certain list of criteria.Thecriteria includes historic sig nificance, innate quality or character, a proven program of restoration and maintenance and a regular schedule of operation.“There are many milestone moments that have taken place here, including kids getting to ride because of a good school grade or a nostalgic ride because a parent or grandparent took when they were younger. You know you’re a Long Islander when you’ve taken a ride at the carousel.”Tofind out more information on Nunley’s, you can visit the website www.LICM.org. If you’re looking to sell something, place an ad in our Classifieds section! Call 516-294-8000 for rates and details.

The Nunley’s carousel is considered a historic Long Island landmark. The famed carousel, which had been closed for more then two years due to the pan demic, recently reopened to the delight of area Maureenresidents.Mangan, director of com munications & marketing at LICM (Long Island Children’s Museum), said that many people have showed up to take a ride on the historic carousel.

Historic carousel reopens to public after pandemic closure

The historic Nunley’s carousel has reopened for rides at the Long Island Children’s Museum.

“It was a scary and sad time for many people obviously, but I’m happy to say that the Museum and carousel are up and running again,” said Mangan. “Since we’ve reopened on August 18th, you could tell that people had that pentup energy to ride the horses again. After all it is a great experience that’s filled people with lots of joy.”

The next critical step is for the BOT to approve the proposal from the firm that is chosen as the most cost competitive, experienced and capable of producing the complex analyses required. Once the cost estimator delivers the report, the Financial Sub-Committee, led by Ryan Mulrooney, will then complete their analysis of what it will cost each home for the options that will be pre sented to the residents. The Financial report will be presented at a future Town Hall Meeting to be determined. Mayor Cosmo Veneziale has appointed Deputy Mayor O’Brien, TrusteeTorino and Trustee Marciano as liaisons to the St. Paul’s Committee, so they can keep the other Trustees informed of the progress of the commit tee’sUltimately,work. the BOT will create the options for a public vote by the resi dents of the Village.

A website has been created to inform, engage and empower residents with accurate, transparent information: stpaulsreports.org. It contains reports from the committees and from the Village, interviews, and YouTube links that will clarify the ongoing efforts of all involved. You can write your comments and questions to: stpaulscomments@ gardencityny.net and receive an answer from the appropriate expert resource.

had changed. The temporary morgue quickly took on the look of a field hospital, with various examination areas and staging for cataloguing, record keeping and then movement to the evergrowing number of refrigeration trucks. In all of that, the chaplains’ role did not change - there was always a moment everything stopped, prayers were said, remains blessed and personnel prayed over.The World Trade Center site was very personal to me. A native New Yorker, I grew up watching the Twin Towers being built, had visited several times with our family on return trips to New York. Our family suffered a personal loss in the attack, and the FDNY family, and so many others died in that place, including my classmates from high school, college and seminary. Today, I live here. Serving as the Episcopal Bishop of Long Island, I see the site, visit the site, and encounter the people who lost so much on that day on a regular basis. Twenty years later, it is still very alive for me. I live with the physical effects and the emotional and spiritual aftermath of a horrific and sinful moment in the history of our nation. I am singularly proud of the small part I played in the enormous assistance the Massachusetts Corps of Fire Chaplains provided following 9/11.

The committee has been busy over the summer months. Here is a summa ry of important milestones: In 2004, Garden City’s Board of Trustees voted to designate St. Paul’s School’s 48-acre site as “parkland”. Due to the Parkland Designation, potential uses for the Main Building are restrict ed. The Legal & Zoning Sub-Committee, chaired by Peter Coll, studied permis sible parkland uses and reported those parameters to the Program & Usage Sub-Committee.Oncethelegal bounds of Parkland Designation were identified for the Program & Usage Sub-Committee, chaired by Frank McDonough, that sub committee invited residents to its week ly meetings over the summer, which enabled them to refine the uses sup ported/suggested by residents into the following broad recommended, permis sible categories: a Community Center encompassing a Performing Arts Facility, Multi-Purpose Rooms for arts, music, theater, and community organi zations’ needs, a Multi-Sports Athletic Center, a Senior Center, a Multifaceted Recreation and Enrichment Center for all ages, from toddlers to our Seniors. With the recommended uses in place, the Design & Engineering SubCommittee, chaired by William Alisse, then began the work of adjusting their initial drawings presented at the June Town Hall Meeting to reflect the iden tified allowable uses of the Program & Usage Sub-Committee. They expect to complete those plans over the next sev eral weeks and present them at the next Town Hall Meeting, currently sched uled for October 12th, at the GC High School.In the interim, the Village Building Department under Giuseppe Giovanniello sent out seven RFP’s to various firms specializing in cost anal ysis for repurposing historic struc tures in early August. The Building Department asked for a detailed cost analysis of adaptive reuse and demoli tion of the Main Building. Four firms responded to the RFP in mid-August and one firm has been recommended for the Board of Trustees’ review. That firm has been advised by the Building Department that the Mayor also wants a complete cost analysis of a “Façadism” option (which involves keeping just the building shell and erecting a new struc ture inside the walls). At the Mayor’s request, the respons es to the Cost Estimating RFP were immediately issued to the Board of Trustees for their review and approval. The lowest cost proposal, from a high ly qualified firm, requires 70 calendar days and if approved by the Board of Trustees, a date for the resident poll can then be established allowing time for the BOT to review and formulate the wording of the vote.

It was a special 75th anniversary celebration for the Waldorf School of Garden City earlier this week. The school, which reopened its doors to students on Tuesday, has for the first time established an all-woman leader ship team to carry out school-related duties. That team includes Board Chair Anne Murray, School Administrator Nicole Littrean, and Faculty Chair Kelly O’Halogan. It was a particularly special occa sion for Murray, who is a 1985 alumna of the school and the first Waldorf graduate to hold the position of board chair.“With the support of our incredible leadership team, our school is prepared to meet the needs of our parents, stu dents, employees and alumni in this ever-changing educational landscape,” said Murray, a board member since 2018. “I am excited and inspired during this, our school’s 75th year, as we work to chart the course of the next chapter of the Waldorf School of Garden City.” In her duties as chairperson, Murray will work to direct the course of the school through actions such as over seeing the school’s capital campaign as well as figuring out longterm strategic plans to further support the school and community.Shewill work closely with the school administrator and faculty chair person to increase stability within the school, as many independent schools across the country are facing economic instability.“Having her experience, insight and knowledge of the Waldorf community will be indispensable as we continue to face the challenges of our ever-chang ing world,” said Littrean. O’Halogan said she is proud to be working with Murray to further the school’s mission and direction. “Anne brings with her an inviting and enthusiastic energy to our school, and I know that her vision and dedica tion to Waldorf will be crucial for us to further our mission for years to come.”

All members of the Estates POA are strongly encouraged to attend this important meeting as well as any res ident of the Estates who is interested in becoming a member.

More details on the POAs’ open primary process and its bene fits will soon follow.

Also, review how much you are putting away in savings – your bank accounts for emergency needs, your retirement accounts, and toward any other savings goals. Has that number improved or declined in the past year? This can tell you a lot about whether lifestyle creep is threatening your future goals.

Step #2 – Establish a “target” budget and stick with it Creating a monthly budget provides you with guideposts on how much you should spend. It also helps you prioritize what’s important. Lifestyle creep often occurs when we become too fast and loose with our money, spend impulsively, or simply get careless about spending. Budgeting can help you put parameters around what is justifiable spending and what expenses will most likely prove unfulfilling.

The “Always Remember” ornament is available at the A.T. Stewart Consignment Shop

One way to identify whether lifestyle creep is a reality for you is to compare your expenses and savings strategies to a point in the past – say one or five years ago. Review checking account statements from then compared to those of today. You should be able to detect whether, in that time, your spending has changed significantly.

The A.T.

As your income increases, your spending habits may have a tendency to go up as well. This is a phenomenon known as lifestyle creep. Though it’s a natural inclination to want to spend more as your funds go up, it’s important that it doesn’t impede your ability to protect your long-term financial security. If you’re making more money, but your expenses are noticeably higher than they were before, or your savings seem stuck in neutral, it may be time to reset your spending habits. Here are three steps to help you avoid or reverse lifestyle creep Step #1 – Assess your current spending patterns

One primary reason to investigate the potential for lifestyle creep is to determine ways to enhance your savings strategy. If you are employed and can participate in an employer’s retirement plan, be sure to do so. If the employer offers matching contributions, it’s important to fully capitalize on it. An ideal target is to set aside at least 10% of your gross income in retirement savings. That can include a Roth IRA, where you can build a source of retirement income that can qualify for tax-free withdrawals. Also, be sure to boost your savings when you receive a raise or, at least, to keep pace with inflation.

Step #3 – Increase savings where possible

This weekend once again marks a somber occasion — Sept. 11th. Did you know that it is memorialized as “Patriot Day,” a day dedicated to honor and remember all who died on Sept. 11th, 2001. The day also honors those who helped in the aftermath. On this day, every year, the flag is flown at half-staff, and we are asked to observe a moment of silence.AsIwas listening to the news this morning, the anchorperson felt it nec essary not only to remind, but to inform those who weren’t yet born, or were too young to have known that his happened. We all know that Garden City was hardhit by losses 21 years ago. Though I was extremely fortunate, many weren’t. We must not ever lose sight of that. If you run into a firefighter, police person, member of the armed forces, or med ical personnel, be sure to say thank you. These two simple words can do a lot to make someone’s day. Thank you for all who served and protected. And remember to put up your flag and fly it proudly.We’ve already started putting out our fall merchandise from the NY Gift Show. Soon we’ll be knee-deep in pump kins, witches, and bats. And we still have the “Always Remember” orna ments.Wehave resumed our regular hours and are again open late on Wednesdays (until 6:00 p.m.) and Saturdays (noon to 4:00 p.m.).

If approved, this would improve traffic flow and parking. This would also enable the planting of additional land scaping, which would further shield the residential neighborhood from any negative impacts of the LIRR third track expansion project, including noise and station lighting. Trustees adopted a proposed con ceptual site plan for the Main Avenue/ Merillon Station and directed the Village Engineering Department to prepare construction drawings con sistent with the intent of said plans for traffic flow and mitiga tion of Merillon Station lighting.

I took this photograph on October 26, 2001 when over a thousand residents came together in the St. Paul’s Fieldhouse to benefit the Garden City families who lost loved ones on September 11, 2001. I was actually high up on a ladder against the wall to get that shot. This Sunday will mark the 21st anniversary of those attacks on our country when thousands of innocent Americans lost their lives. In Garden City, 23 res idents were lost on that day and the pain those families live with never really goes that has always stuck in my mind from that horrible day, September 11, 2001, are the railroad stations. In the evening of that day the police went to each railroad station to identify the cars of the individuals who were never to come home again. There was something about seeing those cars at deserted railroad stations and knowing what happened to their owners that has always haunted me.

Can anything be done to lower the political temperature right now? From the day of the 2020 elections, former President Donald Trump has not played a very constructive role in shaping the national dialogue. While there were a few irregularities and questionable changes in vot ing procedures, Mr. Trump and his legal team was completely unable to make his case that he was the right ful winner of the election. Beyond being unwilling to concede that he lost a close election to Joe Biden, Mr. Trump signed onto far fetched legal theories and spoke at a “stop the steal” rally at the Capitol that led to a disastrous riot. Even then, Mr. Trump was slow to ask his support ers to leave the scene. After the election, Mr. Trump has never been willing to leave behind his claim that the election was stolen, in many cases endorsing primary candidates based on their agreement with this contention. In addition, Mr. Trump, rather than attempting to work out some resolution relating to his continued retention of presi dential documents, has managed to string out negotiations to the point that his premises at Mar-a-Lago were raided.But whether you like Trump’s persona a lot, a little, or not at all, he is still a major political figure with millions of dedicated follow ers, who believe that despite (or in some cases, because of) his prickly personality, he is the right person to lead our country again. They believe that Mr. Trump represents them and they point to the relative peace and prosperity in our country during Mr. Trump’s term, at least until Covid. Given Mr. Trump’s strong stand ing with a significant chunk of the public, you wonder why President Biden, who supposedly represents all Americans, has very much gone on the offensive against Mr. Trump. Mr. Biden rather implausibly claims he had no advance knowledge of the Mar-a-Lago raid (indeed, this is a mat ter that should have received presi dential signoff), which could lead to the indictment of Mr. Trump. Then, Mr. Biden has launched a series of inflammatory speeches, calling Mr. Trump’s supporters (whom he labels MAGA Republicans) “semi-fas cists”, declares them a “clear and present danger” and states that they do not respect the Constitution, believe in the rule of law or recognize the will of the people. Even from Mr. Biden’s point of view, there is a distinct chance that this confrontational approach isn't going to end happily. Republicans are favored to win control of the House of Representatives in the midterms and have a fair chance of also wresting control of the Senate. Even without winning the Senate, a party controlling a simple major ity of the House can impeach the President. Indeed, House Democrats, urged on by left wing members of the caucus (and over the initial objec tion of Speaker Nancy Pelosi) twice impeached President Trump, with two Senate trials ending up in acquit tals. (In fairness, the second trial had much more to recommend it than theAfirst.)GOP House majority could eas ily find reasons for impeaching Mr. Biden. Mr. Biden could be accused of abusing his powers by issuing unauthorized executive orders pro hibiting evictions or requiring large employers to mandate employee vac cinations, both of which were struck down by the Supreme Court. Most recently, Mr. Biden, without any clear authorization from Congress, commenced a student loan forgive ness program that could cost up to a trillion dollars. And it could get worse if Republicans reclaim the executive branch and suddenly decide that a criminal inquiry is necessary as to Hunter Biden and Department of Justice officials allegedly slow walk ing his potential prosecution (to be clear, Hunter Biden has not been proven guilty of anything) and cov ering up for Joe Biden. I guess what I am saying is that we don’t need a cycle of constantly esca lating rhetoric repeated impeach ment trials and arguably politically motivated criminal prosecutions of leading political figures. Somebody is going to have to make an effort to cool things down.

The Lead in Drinking Water notice adds words of caution: “In addition, lead can be found in a number of consumer products, including certain types of pot tery, pewter, brass fixtures, food, and cosmetics. Other sources include expo sure in the workplace (jobs that include house painting, plumbing, renovation, construction, auto repair, welding, electronics repair, jewelry, or pottery repair) and exposure from certain hob bies (such as stained glass or pottery, fishing, making, or shooting firearms and collecting lead or pewter figurines), as lead can be carried on clothing and shoes. Children’s hands or their toys can come into contact with lead in paint, dust, and soil. Therefore, washing chil dren’s hands and their toys will help reduce the potential for lead exposure from these sources.”

increased pH levels throughout the sys tem as a corrosion control measure. Subsequent to the elevated lead blood level incident, many residents had their water sampled through New York State’s Pilot Lead Testing Program with test kits sent directly to residents who requested it. Health information provided This spring and summer, both the village administration and EAB has pri oritized putting together information for parents as lead exposure’s impacts on children’s health and development have been noted. The August 30 docu ment the village created states that the primary source of lead exposure for most children is lead-based paint. But it notifies parents and grandparents of other sources of lead exposure includ ing “lead-contaminated dust or soil, and some plumbing materials.”

As far as suggesting water conser vation efforts in Garden City, EAB member Laurence Quinn noted that in September and October the water usage village-wide will likely go down. But Trustee Carter Flanagan said that Bailey presented some pumpage data noting high amounts during September.

In mid-August the health department was vetting the letter/special notice that Garden City sent residents last week as they control the letters’ length and content.EABmember Elizabeth Bailey asked if the village could include this informa tion in local water bills sent to residents since all the residents will hopefully review that. Administrator Suozzi said there will be some information put into the next (fall) billing cycle, and a paper insert for that is being developed.

September 11, 2022 is Grandparents Day Grandparents Day is always celebrat ed on the first Sunday after Labor Day. This year, that’s Sunday, September 11! While we honor our grandparents every day, take an extra moment to appreciate all the joy and wisdom that grandparents bring to our lives. Marian McQuade hoped to establish a national day that would honor grandpar ents, and in 1970, she began a campaign to do so. McQuade raised awareness about senior citizens throughout the 1970s. In 1978, President Jimmy Carter declared the first Sunday after Labor Day to be National Grandparents Day. Each year, the president issues a procla mation to keep the tradition going. Take a book out to honor your grandparents! Available titles include: “How to Babysit a Grandma” by Jean Reagan, “How to Babysit a Grandpa” by Jane Reagan, “Grandparents Day!” by Candice Ransom, “The Truth about Grandparents” by Elina Ellis, and “Grandma, Grandpa, and Me” by Mercer Mayer.Happy Grandparents when-grandparents-dayhttps://www.almanac.com/content/Day!

Fall news from the Garden City Public Library

September is Library Sign-Up Month!

phosphates would be a priority to have completed before that content develops. Bailey said that a shorter video, instead of the full meeting presentations of more than an hour, would be the most effective means for Garden City residents to view and come away with information. EAB member John Reilly suggested a “10-minute rule” for trim ming down some content and slides pre sented during this year’s EAB meetings. “If we want to do a 20-minute video alternatively we can create two 10-min ute videos with Part A and Part B so that we can keep people’s attention through out them. It is better to have a small er video because that way people are much more likely to watch it,” Reilly commented during the EAB’s August meeting.

“I know there are incentive pro grams in certain water districts and utilities’ coverage areas that give credits for people who put in Smart Controllers like this and I do not believe that Garden City is currently offering any such incentives. I am wondering if a method towards water conservation the village has considered is an incentive program, or cost rebates for a smart water con troller,” he asked the EAB. Bailey said Nassau County does have an incentive program for residents’ smart controller installations. Resident Rich Catalano said he had one installed last year for about $280 and he’s saved at least $300 on his water bill – a point he raised in a Letter to the Editor in The Garden City News. “I wholly support Mr. Schechtman’s proposal and the village should consider at least a pilot program – we can think about rebates for at least 100 residents for $150 each to cover at least half the costs of smart controllers. I guarantee that if Mr. Schechtman and I, from our experience with it can represent what will happen, if the village Water Department monitors those homes where it’s installed there will be a sig nificant drop in water usage – over 50% of water usage is watering the lawn and this represents a tremendous opportu nity for the village,” Catalano told the EAB and Administrator Suozzi. Schechtman said because the device uses micro-accurate weather data, there can be further exploration for bringing this tool to the attention of Garden City Public Schools for their use and for weather stations to be installed. He added that while financial incen tives for residents is a great approach, because the setting up of a smart con troller can be highly-involved, with GoogleMaps of the property part of the data needed, he suggested that a village wide initiative help residents identify their lawn and garden’s soil composi tion and foliage. “It took me quite a bit of research to figure out what exactly my correct soil type. It may be uniform for a question throughout town so if we can advise by listing the soil types on residential prop erties in Garden City, for anyone using a new smart controller – the answers would help a lot of people get started using it,” he said.

EAB provides info on lead water tests

Don’t Overdo the Lawn! Estates resident Matt Schechtman tuned into the EAB’s meeting over Zoom to advise about the benefits of using a Smart Irrigation Controller which uses “up-to-the-minute” and local weather data, with soil type and property size cumulatively to “guesstimate” what the water saturation level for a property. He said this instrument – which can cost around $300 – is creating a tremendous amount of savings as he has to water the lawn less frequently. He told EAB mem bers that residents can feasibly review the water usage, time spent in watering areas of their properties and more data with the instrument.

The Colonel Aaron Ogden Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution has asked me to proclaim the week of September 17-23, 2022 as “Constitution Week” in Garden City. This year marks the 235th anniversary of the drafting of the U.S. Constitution. Our nation’s Constitution, adopted September 17, 1787, provided a fundamental document for freedom and independence. We all have cause to pause and reflect on this great heritage given to us by our forefathers. Residents are urged to fly the flag all week in observance.

Myfirststopismostremarkable: The Rembrandt House (Jodenbreestraat 4-6). This is Rembrandt van Rijn’s actual townhouse, which may sur prise people to learn is on a street that used to be in the center of Jewish life in Amsterdam. Although Rembrandt was not Jewish, his paintings often reflect his life among the Jews in the city - scenes from the Old Testament and many portraits of the Jewish peo ple who lived around him. But what is most remarkable are the insights into this master’s life and work and even his creative process as you go around the house, essentially restored and furnished in the way it was, when he lived here. The Rembrandthuis pres ents Rembrandt’s life, his epoch, an interesting collection of paintings by his contemporaries and his prints. Rembrandt was doing well when he bought this townhouse, but when his fortunes turned and the house was sold, his possessions were inventoried – the museum recreates the house from that inventory as well as Rembrandt’s drawings, so they knew what was in specific rooms; the audio tour notes the objects (and you can get even more detail on many of the objects).

The Jodenbuurt (Jewish Quarter) was inhabited by the Jewish commu nity for 350 years, from the late 16th

Rembrandt had 16 children but only three - a son and two daughterssurvived to adulthood. His son became an art dealer, and after Rembrandt’s bankruptcy, rented a house for him self and father and his mistress, Hendrickje Stoffels. His son died one year before Rembrandt. I ask how Rembrandt went bank rupt. “He spent too much. Also, ‘Nightwatch’ – the three people who paid the most for the painting were not well represented in the painting; it went around that Rembrandt wasn’t a good portrait painter and he lost com missions (100G, equivalent to yearly salary). With commissions down, he went bankrupt.” [Later, I get to ask the docent at the Rijksmuseum when I visit “Nightwatch” who disputes this account.]TheRembrandt House museum has a broad collection of Rembrandt’s works, but only a small portion is on view at any one time (they rotate to preserve the art).

It is utterly fascinating to be in this space – his bedroom, his printing room (where you can lift leather coverings and see original etchings), his studio, his salon (actually a sales room). I learned that Rembrandt was an art dealer, and would have entertained clients in this parlor where there are a number of paintings on the wall as there would have been. Rembrandt “would receive his cli ents with a glass of chilled wine from a marble wine cooler. On the walls hung dozens of paintings from which the client could choose. Rembrandt sold his own works and works by his many pupils. He also dealt in paintings by other masters. This was common practice among artists at this time.

It’s Saturday and just near the Rembrandthuis there is a regular – and massive - Waterlooplein (Waterloo square) flea market, started ages ago by Jewish peddlers (one of the few occupations allowed to Jews) and today is the largest flea market in Amsterdam. It’s definitely fun to visit waterlooplein/(www.amsterdam.info/markets/)

While subject to many restrictions, Jews were permitted to settle in Amsterdam and peacefully observe their religion. In 1593, a century after the Spanish Inquisition, Sephardic Jews from Portugal and Spain settled in this neigh borhood of Amsterdam. In the course of the 17th century Ashkenazi Jews from Central, Eastern, and parts of Western Europe also moved into the district. By 1602, the Jews started to build their first synagogues. And in the centuries that followed, many more synagogues opened.

You are right that the training is science based and not based on the marketing of products, old wives’ tales or internet me mes. Unfortunately, many gardening products are sold through marketing to people who don’t really know what they are doing. For instance, because of advertising in the spring, many tons of grub-control and weed-control products are applied to lawns that have neither problem.Asforgrass seed, it is sold in the spring because most people think that is when it should be planted.

GOING PLACES, NEAR & FAR.... 36 Hours in Amsterdam: Time-Traveling in the Jewish Quarter Continued from previous page

The absolutely best place to start my odyssey is the Jewish Museum (pre viously known as the Jewish Historical Museum) The Jewish Museum is the only museum in the Netherlands that focuses on Jewish history, religion and culture.

The museum is set in a group of four 17th and 18th century Ashkenazi synagogues at the heart of the former Jewish quarter in the centre of Amsterdam. The perma nent exhibition follows several themes: the role of religion and tradition, the links with Israel, the persecution of Jews during the Second World War, personal life stories and the mutual influence of Jewish and Dutch culture. The main part of the museum is housed in the stunning Great Synagogue, the Ashkenazi “Gathering Place” that dates from 1671. The exhibits here are enlightening and inspiring.

A GREENER VIEW

Q: I am a Master Gardener trained through my state university’s ex tension service. The instructors said during my training that the informa tion was based on research and not marketing. I want to plant a large area of grass seed in my yard, but I am hav ing trouble finding what I need. The Master Gardener training said that for my area, grass seed is best planted in the fall, so why isn’t grass seed sold in the fall? It seems all the stores had plenty in the spring and none or very little now. What is left seems to be left over from spring. Are the seeds still any good at this point?

There are not enough trained people like you that are asking for grass seed at the prop er time of year for the stores to change theirForways.northern lawns, grass seed is best planted in the fall because you are plant ing cool-season grass that is then going to go through three consecutive cool sea sons before the heat of next summer. If you plant cool-season grass in the spring, it immediately goes into the hot, dry dor mant season without a strong root system to get water from the ground. If you wa ter it and try to keep it growing, the hot weather works against you and the plant. You will spend too much time and money trying to keep the grass growing when it wants to go dormant in the heat. In the spring there are a lot of weeds, and they will last all summer. Fall plant

century up to the Holocaust. Jewish people, culture and reli gion became an important element of life in Amsterdam from the early 1600s. Several countries in Europe guided by the Catholic Church, starting from the 13th C, had laws aimed at expelling Jews. During the counter-reformation in the 16th C, persecutions of Jews increased.

Anne Frank is best known because of herSomediary. 25,000 Jews went into hiding, of whom 18,000 survived, the rest were discovered or betrayed. ”Those in hid ing often received help from non-Jew ish acquaintances. Later on, resistance organizations set up a system: besides hiding places, they supplied ration cards and forged identity papers and arranged means of Hidingtransport.placesranged from back rooms and converted cupboards to sheds and ditches and carefully concealed holes in the ground. Jewish children were some times given new identities and assimi lated into non-Jewish foster families.” Some were successful, most found out, betrayed, or gave up. On average, Jews in hiding paid 100 guilders a month for protection.Some30,000 Dutch Jews out of 140,000 survived the war, most of them by going into hiding. After the war ended only 5,200 Jews returned to Amsterdam from the camps, and the life of the city changed forever.Today Jewish Amsterdam commu nity numbers 20,000 persons, is well organized, has a rich religious and cul tural life, nevertheless the old Jewish Amsterdam belongs to history. At the Jewish Museum, I pick up a sheet describing a walking tour through the Jewish Cultural Quarter. I go off to follow much of the list. It is like a mystery tour, peeking back in time to people’s lives.

Here I find some of the original Rembrandt etchings of his Jewish neigh bors – but with uncanny personal infor mation.Jewish Museum is more focused on the 350-year long history of Jews in Amsterdam. it’s about their migration and integration into Holland, though the period from 1900 to present is also on display in a very moving way, how they integrated into Dutch society, and how they thrived and contributed to the com munity when restrictions were lifted. It’s a museum of stories and surpris es – it’s uncanny how much personal information they have to connect with the portraits and personal effects on view – so much more meaningful than looking at paintings and artifacts. I especially loved seeing these gorgeous portraits of Jewish Amsterdamers from the 17th and 18th centuries, – how they looked like any other Amsterdamer of the time, a testament to how secular and assimilated people can come when they are free to interact in the broader society. Here you see Rembrandt etchings of his Jewish neighbors (that weren’t on dis play in Rembrandthuis), and here, there is uncanny personal detail. So attached to Rembrandt’s etching of a distinguished looking man, we learn, “This is the Sephardi doctor Ephraim Bueno (15991665). When he was a child, he and his parents fled Portugal to Bordeaux where studied medicine, then later settled in Amsterdam. Father and son gained a good reputation as doctors, both in Jewish and non-jewish circles. Ephraim Bueno lived near Rembrandt, who etched his Amsterdam,likeness.” a legendarily liberal city for sex, drugs (as today), was also com paratively liberal for Jews back in the day. William of Orange fought a revolu tion for religious freedom from Catholic Spain. Jews won comparative emancipa tion in the Netherlands in 1796. The combination of economic success and a relatively tolerant religious envi ronment - unusual in Europe - made Amsterdam attractive to foreigners. Portuguese “New Christians” –descendents from the Jews from Spain and Portugal who were forced to convert but practiced secretly – found that here in Amsterdam, Jews could practice without having to wear distinguishing marks or live in ghetto. We meet several (in por traits) who took up again their Jewish lives once they settled in Amsterdam. Amsterdam at the start of 18th C devel oped into the biggest, most important Jewish city in world. No other city had the synagogues of the size and majesty of the Great Synagogue and Portuguese Synagogue (the largest synagogue in the world) – which served as a symbol of lib eration enjoyed by Jews here. You walk through to another build ing, also a former synagogue, where the exhibit basically tells the “modern” story of Jews here, from 1900 to the present, and especially, the horrifying history of what happened to real people before, during and after the Holocaust. When Nazi Germany invaded the Netherlands in 1940, there were 80,000 Jews living in Amsterdam (- approxi mately 10% of the city population. Throughout the years of German occu pation not many survived. Almost all were deported and exterminated in Nazi concentration camps. When the Nazis came, Jews tried to hide in basements, attics, secret rooms.

Act II: On the morning of September 11, 2001, Al-Qaeda hijackers flew two Boeing 767 jets into the complex, begin ning with the North Tower at 8:46 a.m. and then the South Tower at 9:03 a.m. After burning for 56 minutes, the South Tower collapsed at 9:59 a.m. and 29 minutes later, at 10:28 a.m. (102 min utes after being struck by the plane), the North Tower collapsed. The attacks on the World Trade Center killed 2,606 people.The planes, supposed to fly from Boston’s Logan Airport to California were loaded with 10,000 of fuel. The impact, with the fire that followed, caused the upper floors to collapse and, like a stack of pancakes, collapse floor to floor to bottom, grinding everything in between into dust-like powder.

The soil dug up for the foundation of the Trade Center was dumped next door into the Hudson River, for the construction of Battery Park City - 1.2 million yards of landfill. At the base of these buildings would be a huge concrete “pedestrian” plaza, much like a concrete desert. At one point because of the wind sheer, “the “Venturi Effect” that at the base ropes were installed for the pedestrians. The streetscape was non-existent.

A Reflection on the 9/11 Tragedy: The Acorn and the Weirs

Act I: The Twin Towers - did you ever wonder why there were two? When asked why two 110 story build ings instead of one 220 story building, the architect Minoru Yamasaki, with tongue in cheek, replied, “I didn’t want to lose the human scale.” Wags, at the time would have chuckled, “Symbols for David and Nelson Rockefeller.” “Human Scale:” The site for the WTC complex was a thirteen square block area comprising what was called “Radio Row,” home to hundreds of com mercial and industrial tenants, proper ty owners, small electronics businesses and some hundred residences. These would be demolished for the sixteen acreLouissuperblock.Mumford, in his book “The Pentagon of Power,” denounced the center as an “Example of the purpose less giantism and technological exhibi tionism, that are now eviscerating the living tissue of every great city.” His description of the towers later on: “just glass and metal filing cases.” Jane Jacobs weighed in with “the water front should be kept open for all New Yorkers to enjoy!” The Twin Towers were described as looking similar to “the boxes the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building came in.”

Over the years, more fully tenant ed, the Towers would be humanized. Fifty thousand people would be work ing here. The concourse below, with the PATH station, a shopping mall and restaurants, would have some 200,000 people go through it on a daily basis.

BY FRANCIS X. SWEENEY Act III: A bill was passed into law, named for one of the cleanup respond ers - Zadroga - insuring health benefits for their, many of them, shortened lifetimes.Thefifteenth anniversary of the 9/11 attack featured the annual reading of the names of the some 2,700 people who died in the collapse of the Twin Towers. The Freedom Tower, their commer cial replacement, a concrete bunker by design, is completed with an antenna on top. More striking is the completed memorial, which now covers most of the former sixteen acre superblock. A documentary on PBS covered the plan ning , engineering and construction of this stunning park. Literally, an army of experts and normal “joes” accom plished the cleanup of debris on the “mound” after the collapse.

Regarding the park, which could be called “Resurrection Park,” a similar army of experts and ordinary “joes” brought life back to a place of death. In this program, a highlight was the plan ning and execution of the two reflect ing pools covering the footprints of the towers, square in design, 208 feet by 208 feet. After many ideas and con cepts were tried and failed, a group of engineers came up with something that can be found in the Liffey River, northwest of Dublin, before the stream flows through the city to the sea. Often described as a young girl, this part of the river dances over rocks, down hills, through trees, flowers and holly bush es. Along the way, the water flows over small dams called weirs. Engineers replicated the weirs in the way the water would flow over the walls of the reflecting ponds. It actually would not flow over the walls at all. Behind the slanted name-holding rock rectangles is a trough of water, which runs over weirs made of metal. Brilliant in it sim plicity, it answered the many problems involved with flowing water over the walls themselves. A more recent program called “Treasures of New York” highlighted the magnificent trees in the memori al park. A teacher-like, middle-aged woman leads tours of the park. As they walk around, she asks them to pick up an acorn which has fallen from the trees, take it home and bury it in the ground. This woman then relates her personal story. On the morning of September 11th she heard her husband’s voice on her answering machine. He was a fireman attached to Squad 41 which was stationed near Yankee Stadium. The squad had been called to the Trade Center. Early in the morning of the next day, the phone rang. No one from Squad 41 could be accounted for. She and her small daughter had lost their husband and father. This widow now showed her tour group a picture of her husband wearing his helmet with 41 on the front, as well as a second picture of him, belted to a tree, trimming limbs from it. He had worked a second job as an Thearborist.second part of the program highlighted a skinny young man with glasses in jeans and a polo shirt, feel ing the bark of one of those trees and then later showing his wife and kids the trees in the park. He had worked for Bartlett Tree Surgeons overseeing the delivery and planting of trees in this beautiful park. Another ordinary “joe.”

“Personal Symbols:” In the 1960s and 1970s David Rockefeller was the Chairman of Chase Manhattan Bank. He had erected a “superblock” in the financial district called 1 Chase Manhattan Plaza. Packages, meant for delivery to this site, were returned for a lack of address. In 1961 he introduced the idea of a large complex to the Port Authority as part of an “urban renew al” project on the lower west side of Manhattan. During this same period, his brother, Nelson Rockefeller, was governor of the state of New York. Financial power and political power resided in the two brothers. The WTC would be created and owned by the Port Authority of NY and NJ. The governor of New Jersey demurred at first, but an agreement to take over the Hudson transit system, which would now be called the PATH (Port Authority Hudson Tubes) and place the WTC over the Hudson terminal for the PATH train, brought him aboard. Yamasaki’s plan called for a square, 208 feet on each side. The buildings were designed with narrow office win dows, 18 inches wide, which reflceted Yamasaki’s fear of heights. He original ly called for the towers to be 80 stories tall, but to meet the Port Authority’s requirement for 10 million square feet of office space, the buildings would each have to be 110 stories tall. To cre ate the most open floor space the plan called for an inner core for stairways, elevators, and restrooms. Steel pillars would enclose the core. The exterior walls would enclose pre-fab columns and trusses. The trusses would be con nected to the floors, which would be load-bearing. The “tube-frame” engi neering designed brought about col umn-free space between the perimeter and the core. The “tube frame” system creat ed a relatively lightweight structure that would sway more in response to the wind compared to traditional structures such as the Empire State Building, that had thick, heavy mason ry for the fireproofing of steel structur al elements. The exterior walls would be sheathed in light aluminum ally. There would be 95 express and local elevators in the WTC. The sys tem would be based on the NYC sub way system, with two “sky lobbies” on the 44th and 78th floors, where peo ple could switch from a large capacity express elevator to a local elevator that went to each floor in the system.

In 1981 a 22 story hotel, the Vista, was built south of the towers. This hotel was a great convenience for those, coming from all over the world, to do business in the Towers. In 1975, there was a fire on the 8th floor. It was discovered that there were no fire sprinklers. In 1993, a bomb exploded in the basement. Smoke fil tered up to the 93rd floor. It would take over two hours for people to come down the stairs to exit the building. On this occasion, it was discovered that there were no exit lights in the stair ways. It was said that the buildings could withstand a 727 jet crash into it. But later it seemed that the amount of fuel in the plane at the time was not considered.

Fade Out: Water flowing over those weirs, and wind whistling through those oak trees, dropping acorns: the two symbols of life.

YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY

BY TOM MARGENAU

Social

And this mess gets com pounded even more if you are self-em ployed. An extra stipulation is added for these folks. It says that in addition to keeping your income under the yearly or monthly limit, you also must not be per forming substantial services in the busi ness. And the rules say if you are work ing 45 hours or more in a month, then you are performing substantial services in the business. As an example, let’s go back to Bob again who wants his Social Security to start in September 2022 when he will be 63 years old. But instead of working for wages, let’s say Bob owns a little momand-pop motel. And he says when he turns 63, he is going to turn the business over to mom (his wife). But then he says that starting in September, he’s going to keep working “a couple hours a day just to help my wife out.” Well, that comes out to 60 hours per month -- and that’s more than the 45-hour limit, which means Bob will technically still be performing sub stantial services in his business. And according to this dumb earnings penalty law, it means Bob won’t be due any So cial Security benefits. And that gets me back to the farm er I mentioned at the beginning of this column. When I first started working for the SSA in 1973 in a small farming community in central Illinois, these 4

“Well, Tom, you see, I’m a farmer. I got me about 100 acres of beans, and I re ally only work two months a year. I plant those beans in April and I harvest them in October. The rest of the time, I’m pret ty much sitting on my butt. Oh, I mend a fence or two and work on my equipment. But that don’t take no 45 hours, so I want my Social Security check for the other 10 months of the year.” What’s that all about? I’ll get back to the bean farmer in just a bit. But first, I’ve got to tell you all about the Social Se curity “retirement test,” and especially how it applies to self-employed people. I’ve written many times in this col umn about how I despise this part of So cial Security law. It causes headaches for Social Security Administration employ ees, and heartaches and overpayments for Social Security recipients. It’s a terri ble law, and ought to be eliminated. But it’s been a law for almost as long as Social Security has been around -- meaning for about 80 years now. And it’s probably not going away anytime soon, so we’re stuck with it. And I’m stuck with having to ex plain it to you. Once you reach your full retirement age, these antiquated rules go away. But if you are under your full retirement age, and if you are still working, the retire ment test law says this: “For every $2 you earn above a yearly limit (that is current ly $19,560 per year), $1 must be withheld from any Social Security benefits you are due.” The law is called a retirement test because it’s intended to “test” whether you are retired and therefore whether you are eligible for retirement benefits.

The Security Earnings Penalty for PUZZLE

Going back to the very beginnings of Social Security, the law always said you had to be “retired” to get “retirement” benefits. And those rules used to apply to everyone. But over the years, Congress gradually lessened the effect of this oner ous law. At first, they said the retirement test would not apply to people over age 72. Then they lowered that to 70. And then they eventually lowered that to full retirement age. So, in other words, if you have reached your full retirement age, you could make a million dollars a year and you could still get your Social Secu rityButchecks.Congress never changed the law for people under full retirement age, so they’re stuck with the “retirement test,” which I more appropriately called the “earnings penalty” because if you are under your full retirement age and on Social Security, you are penalized if you start making more than $19,560 per year. Now, on the surface the law seems pretty cut and dried. So, you may be won dering, “What’s the big deal? Why is this law such a problem?” As with so many things, the devil is in the details. For example, let’s say you are 63 years old and getting Social Secu rity, and you take a part-time job that’s going to pay you $25,000 per year. So, you report that to the Social Security Ad ministration, and they withhold $2,720 from your next couple Social Security checks. (That’s one-half of what you plan to make over $19,560.) But then you get laid off after making only $20,000, so now the SSA owes you some money back. But then a couple months later, you find another job and now the SSA must start withholding some of your benefits again. And then later in the year, you get a big bonus and the SSA has to withhold even more. But then the following year, you quit that job and now the SSA owes you money. It just becomes a vicious cycle of overpayments and underpayments. As I said, it’s an administrative nightmare for the SSA and a big hassle for the Social Se curityAndbeneficiary.Ihaven’t even gotten into the special rules that apply in the first year you start getting benefits and in the year you reach your full retirement age. And for the purposes of this column, I’ll only explain the former. In the first year you start drawing Social Security checks, a special monthly earnings test can apply.

That test says that even if your yearly earnings exceed the annual earnings lim it, you are due a Social Security check for any month you earn less than a monthly limit -- which is always one-twelfth of the yearly amount.

A quick example will explain this.

Let’s say Bob is turning 63 in September 2022, and that’s when he wants his ben efits to start. But he is working through the end of August and will make $80,000 from January through August. That is well above the annual earnings thresh old of $19,560, so you might think Bob can’t get any benefits for 2022. But be cause it’s his first year getting benefits, a special monthly rule kicks in. And that rule says that even though Bob is making way more than $19,560 in 2022, he can get a Social Security check for any month he is making less than $1,630 (or one-twelfth of $19,560). Because he won’t be working from September through December (in other words, he’ll be making less than $1,630 in those months), he is due a Social Security check for September through December.Whatamess.

YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY

A GREENER VIEW

BY PHILIP A. RAICES

Inflation is here and probably will be staying with us much longer than we expect or want. The excessive printing of money from 2020-2022 was greater than all the money printed in the past 200+ years and was the major cause of the excessive increase over the last year. The excessive avail ability of money in the market with the historically low-interest rates, with the over the top demand, created a buying frenzy diminishing housing inventory as well as the limited avail ability of consumer goods and services. According to https://whitehouse.gov back in Sept 2021, the Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price Index had risen 18.6% from Sept 20-Sept 21 and the greatest increase since the inception of the Case-Shiller index. Rental prices have now also increased wildly up 10.1% higher in 2021 than 2020 increasing 5 times faster than in 2020 according to Realtor.com’s monthly Rental Report. By the end of 2021 national rents were up double digits for the previous 6 months. The national median rent for a 1 bedroom at that time was $1651. up 19.3% over the previous year. Rents are the highest in NYC. However, rent increases have slowed and so far in 2022 are up 7.2% compared to 14.8% at the same time last year according to apartmentlist. com. Year-over-year rent increases have slowed to 10% compared to the high of 18% at the beginning of 2022. The only solution in the past was to raise interest rates as all the Fed Chairs over the past 42 years have done. But timing is the key and the truth is, no one, not even the Fed Chair, Jerome Powell, hasn’t been able to accomplish this feat. So far, the old solution has not been as successful so far and in the short and near term or longer, we will have greater economic pain.

won’t last long enough to produce any seeds. The fall-planted grass will need a lot less water to keep it growing. If you can find any grass seed for sale, it will probably be OK if it was stored in a cool, dry location this summer. Each label will tell you in which planting year that package was meant to be sold and installed. Grass seed can last for several years if it is stored properly. Remember: cool and dry. If it was left outside in a hot storage area or if it was in high humidity where the bag became damp, don’t buy it.

Moreover, Biden’s plan forgives $10,000 of student debt from loans that had been fully dispersed by June 30, 2022, only if your income is less than $125,000 and less than $250,000 for cou ples filing a joint federal tax return. However, this may be a slight ben efit for those in debt but this unfortunately will also continue to add to our inflation problems. More importantly, the forgiveness program will continue to add to our future inflation, as many now have and will con tinue borrowing making an assumption that in the future a por tion will also be forgiven, which is not necessarily the case according to the current rules but never say never.

guys figured out how to circumvent this dumb law (which had slightly different rules back then). They told me they only worked over 45 hours per month on the farm in April (when they planted crops) and October (when they harvested crops), meaning they supposedly were not performing substantial services on their farm the other 10 months of the year. And that meant they could get So cial Security checks for those months each year.

REAL ESTATE WATCH

Inflation was increasing in 2021 to 4.7% but by December 2021 increased to 7% and has continued to increase through August 2022. Knowing this information, I have stated in a previous column that I believed increased rates should have been implemented early in 2021, but for whatever reason, Jerome Powell waited until March 2022. He didn’t want to shut the economy down, but kicking the can down the road only put off the inevitable that we are cur rently experiencing. He allowed a mul titude of new homeowners and moveup buyers to purchase at the lowest rates in history, which you would sur mise would be a benefit to the economy, but at the expense of increasing infla tion. With all that cheap money, stocks really became inflated, but many are now down from 20-50% and real estate is softening. Real Estate has decelerat ed and moderated and is taking longer for offers and sales to occur.

I knew they were lying. They knew they were lying. But because we obvi ously didn’t have the staff to spend time investigating all the farmers in the two counties we serviced, there was really nothing I could do about it. I can’t repeat often enough: It’s a dumb law and a mess to administer!

How will inflation affect the value of real estate?

chaser. However, prices will eventually soften fur ther in 2023 and potentially become more of a buyer’s market.Rental properties and real estate have generally always been an excellent hedge against inflation as a hard asset. Also, wellrun profitable businesses in energy and food staples are other entities in strong positions to weather the storm and become more valuable. As long as ten ants pay their rent and your expenses of ownership, then those values will increase as the cost of replacement escalates with inflation. However, one must be smart and prudent especially if you are a new investor when purchas ing properties for cash flow or fixing and flipping. One needs to crunch the numbers, watching interest rates and the price you pay, to make sure there is an adequate ROI and cushion to earn sufficient income. We are in a housing recession with respect to slow ing sales and construction, as fewer permits are being applied for according to Lawrence Yun, chief economist for the National Association of Realtors. Although rent increases have slowed, affordability becomes a serious ques tion, and residing where you are for now might be your best solution; while waiting and hoping rates will decrease while also saving more for a down payment.Weall see our world in such tremen dous turmoil financially and political ly. The big question is will history con tinue to repeat itself as real estate and certain hard assets have always been an excellent hedge and safer haven for wealth creation due to inflation? Or will our shaky house of cards con tinue to erode as our debts continue to mount; territorial conflicts aren’t resolved with no end in sight? Will our fiat currency become even more dilut ed and morph into something more hybrid? Will real estate lose its’ value? Or maybe, somehow and someway we’ll come out of this economic and tumultuous and turbulent situation stronger and smarter? Readers, what are your thoughts?

According to many sources, there supposedly will be another 3/4 point increase this month, so that will most likely further cool off the local and national real estate market. Demand will decrease and slow further, but the cost of housing will continue to increase at a more moderate rate, due to still very low inventory, until it becomes more normalized at 5-6 months. This will then favor neither seller nor pur

I come from a family of yellers. We wouldn’t yell at one another; we would yell to one another. Specifically, from one end of the house to the other. These were the days before texting, when you couldn’t just message someone to find out where they were. No, back in the day, if you wanted to find someone, you needed a good hearty holler across the house to locate the missing person. This was especially true in my family. It may have been genetic because my grand parents were yellers, and their parents before them. Apparently, there was a lot of yelling back in the old country. Or maybe my family was just hard of hearing and didn’t know it. Or it could have just been the fact that we were from New York... not the most genteel state in the union.

Remember a few years back when Pluto was deemed to be no longer a planet? The internet erupted with pro tests. “Why isn’t Pluto a planet?” people cried. “It was a planet when I went to school and, as far as I’m concerned, it stillWell,is!” scientists are in the business of classifying everything, and when new data or understanding becomes avail able, they must reclassify objects to make them better fit the scheme. So, it should have come as no surprise to anyone who follows science that astron omers reclassified Pluto, a tiny ice ball near the edge of our planetary system, as a “dwarf planet.” And that means that Pluto’s reclassi fication out of official planethood gives the honor of being the most distant planet from the sun to Neptune.

I was concerned, so I went to look for him and discovered that the bathroom door was closed. I knocked and asked him if he was in there.“Yes,” came the muffled reply. “Is everything all right?” I said, because that was another thing my fam ily would do if someone was in the bath room longer than five minutes. I have no idea why we did this. What was likely to happen in the bathroom that would be an emergency and possibly necessitate a call to 911? “Hello, operator, I need an ambulance. My husband is constipated.” It defied explanation, yet every time my dad went to the bathroom and lingered, my mother would yell: “HARVEY, IS EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT IN THERE?” And every time, my dad would yell back:“YES!”

7 Discovery20229,September STARGAZERS

But there was no reply. So, I yelled again:“JOEL, WHERE ARE YOU?” No reply.

The same was true in France where Urbain Le Verrier independently made the same calculations. Again, no one seemed to care. But Le Verrier didn’t give up. He showed his calculations to the German astronomer Johann Galle, who aimed his telescope skyward and found the new planet -- eventually named Neptune -- on his very first night of searching! That was in 1846 and, since then, few beginning stargazers have ever even looked for this distant world. Well, now’s a good time to change that because, this week, Neptune reaches its opposition point where it not only lies at its nearest to Earth -- about 2.69 billion miles -- but also shines at its brightest. Finding Neptune among the faint stars of Aquarius isn’t easy, however, and since this distant world is invisible to the unaided eye, you’ll need to use “star-hopping” techniques and have a very dark rural sky, binoculars and lots of patience to spot it. First, find brilliant Jupiter in the eastern sky, and the faint star Phi Aquarii to its west; that star forms a nice little “arrow” that aims at right angles to Jupiter. Aim your binoculars about two-thirds of the way between Jupiter and Phi. There, you might spot Neptune as a faint bluish “star.” A small telescope aimed in this direction will show a distinctive bluish-green hue that distinguishes it from neighboring stars. If you’re not sure you’ve found it, sketch the area, being careful to mark every star in its exact position. Then, a week or two later, check out this same region of the sky and see which of the faint objects has changed its position. That’s Neptune! If needed, you can visit theskylive. com/neptune-info for a more detailed finder chart for the planet. As challenging as Neptune might be to find, there’s something really special about seeing with our own eyes the far thest planet of our solar system!

So, on any given day, my mother would“HARVEY,yell: WHERE ARE YOU?” From across the house he’d yell, “I’M IN THE BATHROOM!” Then she’d yell back, “OH. DON’T FORGET TO PUT THE TOILET SEAT DOWN!”Obviously, at this point, everyone in the house, in the neighborhood and in the state knew my father was in the bathroom and usually left the toilet seat up.Naturally, because of the way I grew up, I thought everybody yelled like this. So, one day after my husband and I first got married, we were in the house, and I yelled:“JOEL, WHERE ARE YOU?”

BY TRACY BECKERMAN

And she’d respond, “OK. DON’T FORGET TO PUT THE TOILET SEAT DOWN!” When my husband finally came out of the bathroom, he looked very annoyed. “What’s the matter?” I asked him. “I don’t like it when you yell across the house for me, and I especially don’t like it when I’m in the bathroom and you ask if everything is all right.” I frowned. But I’m flexible. I could change. I nodded.

“OK,” I said. “I won’t yell for you any more. But don’t forget to put the toilet seat down.” 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!

Searching for Neptune After Dark

Neptune was discovered after astron omers learned that the planet Uranus, which William Herschel had found six and a half decades earlier, didn’t keep to the precise path skywatchers had expected.Ayoung English astronomer named John Couch Adams calculated that the motion of Uranus was apparently being affected by another world that lay beyond and its gravitation was tugging on it. Adams even calculated where this unknown planet might be found; unfortunately, no one in England ever bothered to search for it.

The Garden City Marching Band (GCMB) debuted its 2022 field show on Tuesday, August 30, for parents, friends, and school administration. The spy-themed field show is titled “Espionage” and features a “Bond-like” spy character, a heroine, a villain, and features spy props, including an Aston Martin.The students spent the previous week at Band Camp at GCHS, learning the field formations and music to the songs, “Agent 54,” “Bad Guy,” “Live and Let Die,” “The James Bond Theme,” and “The Pretender.” At this debut performance, Marching Band Director Mr. DellaMonica informed spectators what an incredible feat it was for the students to learn the completed move ments on the field as well as memoriz ing all of the music in only five days. “We have so many new members this year and what we were able to do in this short amount of time is a testament to the talented and enthusiastic students,” said Mr. DellaMonica. Although the musicians worked hard, they had time for fun, including themed rehearsals, such as tropical day and twin day. Band Camp culminated with the tra dition of “Color Wars,” where each section of the Marching Band dresses in certain colors to compete for points to be the best section of Band Camp. However, after the exceptional perfor mance that the students gave, it appears that everyone came out a winner. To see the Marching Band’s field show “Espionage,” you can view it at GC home football games, at Homecoming, and at our “Mock” com petition at GCHS on September 24 at 3 p.m. The Marching Band also competes at various US Bands events throughout the Tri-State area, including at MetLife Stadium, and in the upcoming Newsday Marching Band Festival. Come out and hear the band in action, cheer the members on, and see if you can help solve the mystery, that is, “Espionage.”

Emily has been interested in music since she was a little girl. Her love of performing flourished in the various productions in Garden City schools.

In addition to musi cal theatre, Emily has performed in MYO, All County Chorus 2019 and 2020, and the Girl Scouts of Nassau County Chorus.
