Dr. Edward Cannone, assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction, then detailed the results of the iReady online pro gram. He highlighted the digital, self-paced functionality of this program, which served as a more flexible summer learning option that accommodates families’ less standardized summer schedules. The program had 331 active par ticipants.Healso shared that student success directly correlated with the number of hours they put in. The adaptive program challenged students more and more as they spent more time and rose in skill level. Much of the success of the program was credited to instruc tor office hours, on-demand access to diagnostic performance data for families and teachers

“Summerprograms.wasavery busy time for the Garden City schools,” Dr. Kusum Sinha, Superintendent of Schools, began before intro ducing Lauren Kaufman, direc tor of literacy, who provided an overview the reading support program’s initial objectives and results. For added context, the program was funded by Garden City’s American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) allocation and was developed to strengthen and accelerate the literacy skills of students who received academic support in the 2021/2022 school year. Post-program assessments proved growth among partici pants and progress reports were shared with classroom teachers to help them more intentionally plan instruction for the next year.

To the Editor:

In life it is often said to keep messag es simple and straight forward.

However, as the instances of physical crimes are rare, it seems as if the num ber of financial crimes has been rising. This is likely a part of a wider national trend, in which criminals seem to have learned that it’s more profitable to use fraud, forgery and identity theft instead of muggings.Eachweek we see cases in which people have their identities stolen and criminals use the stolen information to apply for credit cards, unemployment benefits and loans. In other cases, paper checks are stolen, altered and cashed by

WORD

For safety’s sake please make these repairs.

My on-site inspections on Sunday morning confirmed what Mr. Hannify had predicted as all spaces were taken at both the SAPL and the SSPL. In addi tion, there were a dozen cars parked on the horseshoe at SSPL which are not marked spaces. There were about 90 cars parked there and 48 at SAPL. In addition, there were at least 18 cars in the RCPL which had been opened for the Sunday morning games and a sim ilar number parked on Raymond Court itself. A total of about 175 cars were parked at the Stewart Field parking lots and on Raymond Court on Sunday morning. The walk from the SSPL to the fields was short because the Recreation Department, working with the School District, made sure that the gates from the SSPL were open for those parking 48

thieves.This latter situation happened to us last week. A check to a vendor was stolen out of the mail and cashed by a stranger in the Bronx. After that, the thieves created several more facsimiles of our checks and cashed them.

To the LastEditor:week’s “View from Here” regarding the urgent need for America to have its political temperature lowered couldn’t have more spot on. But it was perplexing to read why President Biden defining the most extreme supporters of former President Trump as “semi-fas cist” and “dangerous to democracy” would be considered “divisive” and “inflammatory.” How else should one describe the January 6th insurrection ists who were spurred by the ex-Pres ident’s words (i.e., “you have to fight for your country”) to storm the capitol in an attempt to stop the constitutional electoral process? Additionally, most historians have reported ex-President’s Trump 2016 campaign and four years in the White House was littered with some of the most hateful and truthless rheto ric ever recorded by an American pres ident. When it comes to our country”s recent aggressive political discourse, President Biden “didn’t start the fire” for sure.

Nevertheless, to reach this decision, I went to Stewart Field last Saturday morning and counted 62 cars in the Stewart Avenue parking lot (“SAPL”) and 43 in the Stewart School parking lot (“SSPL”), a total of 105 parked cars. There are about 48 marked parking spaces in the SAPL and 82 in the SSPL, for a total of 130. I reached out to Mr. Hannify, the person in charge of Thunder football, to determine what activities were going on there Saturday morning. He advised me that there was a walk through by Thunder teams at that time on Saturday morning but the next day, there would be far more cars and people attending including parents of the players, cheerleaders and oth ers. Based on these representations, my observations on Saturday morning and what I had learned earlier in the week, I joined other members of the BOT who had previously recommended open ing the RCPL for the Sunday morning games to allow for sufficient parking.

White does all of the woodwork on-site by himself, from milling the timber that’s delivered to the shop to putting the final finishing touches on the handcrafted fur niture.Hesaid that what makes the furniture special is that it is handmade by a true American craftsman and is sustainably forested within the USA. It is also not mass-produced like many furniture outlets, focusing on smaller-scale woodwork such as accent stools and home decor items like serving boards.

“I believe that I got my woodworking passion from my grandfather, who at one time owned and operated a wood and metal pattern workshop in Queens,” said White. “I never met him because he died before I was born, but I hope to carry on the family tradition.”Hesaid that he plans to spread the word about his new business to potential custom ers through the website cannerycamp.com and on Instagram.

“It was during the height of the Covid pandemic that I had a quarter-life crisis so to speak, and knew I needed a change in careers,” said White, a 2018 Notre Dame University graduate. “I always had a pas sion for woodworking since I was a little kid, and had dreams about launching my own furniture and home decor brand.”

His new company is called Cannery Camp, and there is an interesting backstory to tell about how White came up with the name.“My favorite book is ‘Real Life on Cannery Row’ by John Steinbeck, and that name always stuck with me. I liked the alliteration and knew once I opened my business that I’d fit some portion of that title into my business name.”

PhotograPhy history

So how did Stratford School end up in an episode of “Young Sheldon”? It is not a “stock photo” but rather video because even though it only appeared for two seconds you can see leaves moving on the trees from the wind. It was taken from the sidewalk probably during the summer. Even the leaves at the top left of the photo match a tree by the sidewalk.

The Kordes K orner

There are thousands of school buildings across America so how was it that Stratford School was used to portray a fictitious private school in Dallas, Texas. All I could think of is perhaps someone working on the show has ties to Garden City. They actually could have shot it with their phone. Also, does the school district know? Anyway, it is a cute show, especially the first few seasons. Try and catch it.

Well, it all started while I was watching a re-run of the popular hit CBS TV show “Young Sheldon” not too long ago. I briefly spotted what I thought looked very familiar to me - Stratford School. The episode was from the first season and it dealt with Sheldon who was a nine year old already in a public high school in east Texas in 1989. The principal there suggested to his parents that he attend a school for the gifted in Dallas, Texas. At that moment the above image appeared on the screen for only two seconds and then they cut to an interior shot from some other building. Sheldon ended up not attending the school.

You may recognize this image as Stratford School. It is actually a photograph of my TV at my home. So what is Stratford School doing on my TV?

John Ellis Kordes

Recently, I was able to acquire the DVD of the first season. I went to that episode which originally aired on 1/4/2018. I got to that point and paused it and took the above photograph. I was then able to verify that it was indeed Stratford School as even all the landscaping lined up perfectly.

Like most people on both sides of the Atlantic, I was very much saddened by the passing of Queen Elizabeth II last week. She reigned for 70 years and, amazingly enough, was the only British sovereign in my now lengthy life. I wrote a col umn about Elizabeth in June, so I won't repeat the whole thing here. Whatever you may think of mon archy as an institution (or even of various policies of the British gov ernment over the years), the Queen worked very hard during her entire reign and was a unifying figure and a worthy symbol of her country both within Britain and around the world. By all accounts, she was a dignified and gracious woman and she will be missed.Since last week was also filled, in addition to tributes to Elizabeth, with commemorations of the 21st anniversary of the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center, I was thinking of the many ways in which democrat ic nations celebrate and symbolize their solidarity as a country and a people.Some countries have found it use ful to follow the British model and symbolize the country by means of designating an individual or fami ly as head of state, separating this function from the head of govern ment. This does have the undeniable advantage of freeing political leaders from spending inordinate amounts of time on ceremonial duties, both domestic and international. Often, there is much pomp and circum stance associated with the royal fam ily, which may add to the emotional bonds between ruler and subjects.

Symbols of a nation

32 NewsCityGardenThe2022,16Septemberriday,F THE VIEW FROM HERE

Needless to say, for a variety of reasons, many countries, certainly including the United States, have no interest in the concept of a royal fam ily, even a constitutional monarch along the British model with strictly limited powers and duties and virtu ally no role in politics. Our country was founded in a rebellion expressly against a monarch, King George III, and the American Revolution was based on principles enshrined in the Declaration of Independence that all men are created equal, which basi cally precludes the idea of a king

or queen. Indeed, our Constitution expressly prohibits titles of nobility.

From classes to lectures and concerts to movie screenings, there's never a dull day at your local library! Check this paper each week for fun and informative all-ages activities, all for free or cheap!

In America, there is relatively lit tle pomp surrounding our leaders, but we do rely on symbols like our national anthem and our flag, as well as our military, to express national solidarity. Maybe that is why many of us have strong feelings when our flag is desecrated or disrespected But we do have real moments of unity here. Last Sunday, which was September 11, I attended the Jets game. The woman who sang the national anthem began the Star Spangled Banner but then let the crowd continue the anthem by itself, which was sung loudly and enthusi astically, and then some fireworks flew. We may not have a monarch or a ceremonial president, but it was a moment of solidarity and unity as a people.

See what's happening at your library!

Other countries have followed the model of having a respected figure act as the head of state but not gov ernment, with much less of the cer emonial trappings associated with royal families and nobility. A good example is Ireland, certainly anoth er republic that, in light of its his tory, would be most disinclined to follow the British model. Under the Irish Constitution, the President of Ireland is popularly elected but has a largely ceremonial role (with a few limited duties). According to the government website, the President "represents all the people of Ireland in official engagements at home and abroad".Theidea of a largely ceremonial head of state like the Irish President has never really gained traction in the United States. Putting aside the current enormous controversies involving Donald Trump, the clos est thing we have to revered elder statesmen are probably our for mer Presidents. From time to time they do act together as symbols of national unity. For example, former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush have worked together in support of disaster relief efforts. But there is no sense that these former leaders have a major ongoing role in representing all Americans.

Held at the Mercer School of Theology on the Cathedral cam pus, the camp was a spirited event involv ing 16 choristers (including three new chil dren) and three music staff.

timeframe for the grieving process. There is no time frame for healing. We cannot promise there will ever be a time we do not feel the emptiness. We can only promise you that you will have a solemn place to remember, mourn and reflect.”

The Garden City Fire Department held a remem brance ceremony at Fire Headquarters Sunday to solemnly pause and remember the fallen on the 21st anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.Theprogram, which is usually held at the Village’s 9/11 Memorial on the Village Green but was moved this year due to inclement weather, paid tribute to those Garden City residents that perished during the attack on the World Trade Center, the 343 members of the New York Fire Department, 23 members of the

Garden City firefighters.

Chief Matthew Pearn addresses attendees.

Ex-Chief John Casey offered opening remarks before introducing Mayor Cosmo Veneziale to lead the Pledge of Allegiance. Ex-Chief Lawrence Nedelka offered the invocation and benediction. “We pray for the family and friends of those who died as a result of 9/11 violence and we seek to comfort them as they grieve their loss and celebrate the lives of their loved ones,” he said.

A bell tolled after the reading of each of the 23 res idents’ names. The playing of Taps followed, courtesy of Garden City students Ellie Stier and Alessandro Ehrig. The residents’ names are etched in the memo rial monument stone on the Village Green:

Firefighters place white roses at the base of the 9/11 Memorial.

Village Board members as well as members of Garden City’s executive staff joined Mayor Cosmo Veneziale at the ceremony, as did local represen tatives, including Nassau County Legislator Laura Schaefer. The 2nd Battalion 25th Marines provided the Color Guard for the service.

to be part of the Girls State program. The energy in the room full of smart, talented girls made her feel excited to be there. She ran for various offices, won some and lost some, and found a true interest in learning how govern ment works. She learned to go outside her comfort zone and realized that every loss is a learning experience. She learned about the importance of honoring veterans and their families, the meaning of the poppy, and hav ing pride in our country even during difficult times. She also learned that government works if everyone listens and is open minded! She likes history more than she did two years ago. She thanked the auxiliary for giving her the opportunity to participate in the program.Timothy Voelker joked that Mr. O’Hagen probably selected him for this program because of his interest in government and politics and because he enjoyed talking so much about these subjects! He was very excited to attend and to focus his energy on a very productive project. During the program, he participated as a city clerk and then county clerk and found the program to be very rewarding. His huge tenor sax, which he brought with him, enabled him to make more friends as he spent a lot of time and had a lot of fun while practicing with the band! What surprised him was the Marine assigned to each county who woke up the boys at 4:45 a.m.! Overall, Timothy said he found the program to be a very rewarding experience and he was very thankful to have been

Girls State and Boys State Leadership Programs

The American Legion Boys State and American Legion Auxiliary Girls State are summer leadership and cit izenship programs for high school juniors, which focus on exploring the mechanics of American government and politics. The programs are spon sored by the William Bradford Turner American Legion Post 265 and the American Legion Auxiliary Unit 265. Unit Empire Girls State Leadership Committee chaired by Betty Erdos is grateful to Mrs. Balantic of the GC High School Social Studies Department for her assistance in the initial input for the selection of can didates.Each state ’ s program varies, but in general, program participants are divided into subgroups referred to as cities. The citizens of each of these cit ies elect mock municipal officials and representatives to the mock state leg islature. Many programs also have a county level as well. The participants also elect state officials, such as gov ernor, lieutenant governor, and other state-level officials mirroring their actual state. The legislature meets to organize, elect leaders, and to pass bills, in a way that is similar to how their actual state legislature operates.

Amanda Pinou was accompanied at the meeting by her brother, Andrew, an associate of the Auxiliary. Amanda was very excited and said she learned something new every day and was very proud that the girls supported each other and even helped two girls advance to the Girls Nation program in Washington, D.C. In an atmosphere of camaraderie, she felt confident to speak up to make her voice heard as they learned about governmental issues. She feels she has made lifelong memories and friends and is very happy and thankful that she partici pated in the Girls State program.

She did attend this meeting in support of her friends in theIsabelprograms.Byrnes realized she enjoyed participating in government and found it was easy to share her ideas and listen to the ideas of the other girls. She was inspired by other girls who ran for state positions and that encouraged her to run for more coun ty positions. Girls State encouraged her to go out of her comfort zone and try things she hadn’t tried previously. The experiences and memories work ing alongside an incredible group of girls will remain with her for the rest of her life. Isabel was very grateful to have this opportunity and thanked the Legion for the opportunity.

Patrick Bohn was elected as city justice, then county justice, then state justice and ultimately won the posi tion as State Court of Appeals judge. He supervised jury selection for the county trial serving as a Justice of Roosevelt County. He said it was an incredible experience and solid ified his desire to pursue a career in law/government, since he experi enced the inner-workings of the judi ciary branch of government. He is very interested in a career in service and plans to study history in college with additional interests in law and economics. In addition to the gov ernment sessions, other highlights of the week were the basketball and soccer tournaments organized by the Marines who supervised the program. He enjoyed the military aspect of the week and is very grateful for his selec tion to the program.

Families were surveyed at the end of the summer to collect feedback. What the District gathered from them was overall positive, with about 64 replies that indicated that parents felt sup ported and children enjoyed their expe rience. Some shared their challenges with navigating some of the higher levels of these programs, which they believe office hours helped with, while others concluded that they still pre fer the non-digital “pencil and paper” experience. During the year, continued student success will be tracked and these results will be considered when approaching planning for future sum mers.

As part of our study, we are currently evaluating the feasibility of building an outlet road on Village prop erty entering the RCPL from Clinton Road. In addition, over the last few months as part of the ongoing study, the BOT had plans sketched out by the Building Department to add spaces to the SAPL which unfortunately did not seem to add many spaces and was quite expensive.

Dating from 1675 (just four years after the Great Synagogue), this Sephardic synagogue is in fact a whole religious complex with the synagogue, archives, a mortuary, and a library.Known as The Esnoga, the Portuguese Synagogue was designed by Elias Bouman, who had also helped design the Great Synagogue of the Ashkenazim across the road. Elias Bouman later became the city’s chief architect. The colossal building dominated its surroundings then, as it still does today. When finished, it was the largest synagogue in the world, and even centuries ago, was a tourist attraction (Mr. Visserplein 3, Saturdaystillen/longread/portuguese-synagogue)jck.nl/ThePortugueseSynagogueisusedforreligiousservices(it’ssoIdon’tgettogoinside),

Outside the Portuguese Synagogue is the Jonas Daniel Meijerplain, a square named for Jonas Daniel Meijer who in 1796 became the first Dutch Jew to receive a doctoral degree. He was a leader in the Jewish struggle for emancipation and equal rights (which was won in 1796). There are Stolpersteine (small memori al plaques) in front of houses that are along the square (nos. 13, 15, 19)

In the square is the February Protest Monument commemo rating the strike of the Amsterdam dock workers on February 24, 1941, to protest persecution of Jews. The strike has been followed by protest actions all over the city: in public transport, schools and in some com panies. Strike actions also took place in several cities around Amsterdam and in Utrecht. Although the Nazi administration, which invaded the Netherlands in 1940, managed to sup press the strike within just a few days, killing nine of the protesters, injuring many and perpetuating sev eral other ruthless actions, the open protest against the Nazis had the symbolic importance for all people in the Netherlands. The monument represents a striking worker called “De Dokwerker”. The sculpture is by Mari Andriessen, a sculptor who during the war refused membership of the Nazi-led artist union and hid

The Great Synagogue was destroyed in the Holocaust (it was restored and turned into a museum in 1961), but the Portuguese Synagogue was saved apparently because Hitler wanted to leave a trace of the van ished nation (I was told much the same about how Prague’s Jewish Quarter managed to survive.)

GOING PLACES

At the Jewish Museum in Amsterdam, I pick up a sheet detailing a walking tour through the Jewish Cultural Quarter which features 37 points (Rembrandthuis and the Waterlooplein flea market are included) and 12 museums, monuments and memorials. It is supposed to take about 90 minutes.

I visit as many of the sites as I can, and finally come to the National Holocaust Memorial, which only opened in September 2021. It’s the first in the Netherlands to name all 102,000 Dutch Jews, Sinti and Roma who were killed by the Nazis during World War II. Designed by Polish-American architect Daniel Liebeskind, the 102,000 bricks, each bearing the name of a vic tim, form the shape of four Hebrew letters meaning “in memory of.”

On the tour, we get to see the dia mond polishers at their craft, while a guide explains how they turn rough diamonds into dazzling brilliants. And Gassan has taken the “Amsterdam cut” to a new level, patenting the technique of the Gassan 121 diamond – a diamond cut with 121 facets to dazzling effect.

In a display case are old pieces of glass with names etched with diamond into it. “This was a Jewish neighborhood and a Jewish company,” she tells me. “A lot of Jews worked here. During World War II, most were killed, so we keep the glass with their names. Gassan’s own father was a diamond worker in the factory here. After the war, Samuel acquired the old factory.”

A brilliant cut has 57 facets (33 on top, 24 on bottom), which originated in Amsterdam and is known as the “Amsterdam cut.” But, she explains, Gassan (pioneered and patented) a 121facet diamond with exponentially more refraction.Luna,who I watch polishing a dia mond, has had three years experience (it takes two years to learn basics, 10-20 years to perfect, and by the time you are ready to retire, you are a master).

The next morning, before I have to get to the airport (and after enjoying a terrific breakfast at the hotel), I tour the Gassan Diamonds, a historic place which had great importance in the JewishInitially,Quarter.Jews were not permitted into Amsterdam’s guilds, so the only occupations that were open to them were street trading (hence the giant flea market at Waterlooplein), financing, book printing and diamond cutting. In the 19th century many Jews worked in the flourishing diamond trade and industry.Amsterdam has been famous for its diamonds since the 16th century, and after 400 years, the city is still regarded as a diamond trading center of the world. The popular brilliant-cut with 57 facets which was developed in Amsterdam is known as the “Amsterdam-cut”.

That number of breakfasts eaten at home might be much lower in America since many elementary and middle-school stu dents eat breakfast at school.

Gassan Diamonds has played a pivotal role in Amsterdam’s diamond history, as well as in Jewish life in Amsterdam. The diamond factory was built in 1879 by the Boas brothers, and at the time was the largest diamond factory in Europe. It was shut down during World War II, and resurrected by Samuel Gassan, whose father actually worked there as a diamond cutter.

Julie made the living room and din ing room at The Inn warm and invit ing with the comfortable couches and chairs adorned with colorful throw pil lows. A large baby grand piano stood in a corner of the room and any guest who could play the piano was encouraged to do so. Julie kept a sign-in book and a silver bell just inside the front door on a wooden stand and whenever the grandkids arrived, no matter what time of day or night it was, they would rush to see who would ring the bell first. Then, after saying hi and giving hugs all around, the kids would head upstairs to see where they were staying.

Julie told me that night over cof fee and slices of red velvet layer cake that she was sad to leave her job and co-workers but she and her husband, Dennis, were looking forward to start ing a new adventure in Pennsylvania. Because they were still young-ish, they were going to start second careers. Julie wanted to own a store of her own and Dennis, who had worked as a mechanic for most of his life, wanted to fix up antique cars. That had always been his dream and Julie told him to go for it. The shop he worked at was in Linden, Pa., which was just a 10 or 15-minute drive from home.

They had four friends in Williamsport, New Yorkers Julie and Dennis knew who had retired there six years prior. Williamsport is in Lycoming County and they decided to rent for a year or two before buying a house. The county seat, Williamsport is known for being a suburban city - it’s a large city com pared to the surrounding rural towns but by most standards it’s not a huge city. There are plenty of things to do in Williamsport and in the fall there’s plenty of apple cider and apple picking and trick or treating.

Starting anew after retirement

BY CLAIRE LYNCH

My friend, Julie, retired from a fulltime job on Long Island and moved to Williamsport, Pa., two years ago. Before leaving her job of 25 years she had a big retirement party with 75 people at her favorite restaurant. Friends and co-workers went to the podium and spoke about events

The upstairs guest rooms were cozy - some rooms had fireplaces and over looked the road. Other rooms faced the back yard with its tall trees and over sized bushes. During last fall’s visit the nine of them stayed at The Inn the week before Halloween and the pyracantha bushes were in full bloom. With their bright red colors, they lit up the yard. It was beautiful to look at when sundown came.Julie was a natural when it came to being an innkeeper. Her face lit up when every guest entered her door and she was especially happy when so many of her relatives stayed.

after careful thought she decided to open a bed & breakfast inn which she named The Silver Inn. She hired employees to help her at the inn which gave her time to enjoy her hobbies and shopping in the surrounding towns. She and Dennis enjoyed exploring Williamsport and the areas outside the city - the clothing stores, antique shops, thrift shops and gift shops. She liked browsing and see ing what was new.

Back in Williamsport, when their two grown children, two sons-in-law and five grandchildren visited for a week in mid-October, there was more than enough room for them at The Inn.

During the winter months there are plenty of cold-weather sports to engage in and on weekends Julie and Dennis enjoyed snow skiing. Williamsport is in northern Pennsylvania - it’s rough ly 78 miles southwest of Elmira, N.Y. They tried snow shoeing since they had never done that before. There were lots of new opportunities all around. They both missed Long Island but exploring a new area was fun.

Why Privatizing Social Security Can’t Work

The idea of privatizing Social Securi ty used to be all the rage back in the 1980s and 1990s. But ever since the almost cata strophic financial crash in the late 2000s, saying you want to turn Social Security over to Wall Street brokers (i.e., to “pri vatize” Social Security in the traditional sense of the term) is like saying you want some monkeys with a dart board to make financial decisions about our nation’s primary means of supporting older folks, people with disabilities, and surviving widows, widowers and children.

Orthem.putit another way. Social Security makes up about one-fourth of the entire federal budget of the United States. You just don’t take a quarter of our country’s budget and put it on Wall Street. After all, would you want the federal government, via the Social Security trust fund, to be the major owner of Chevron stock or the primary investor in Phillip Morris?

But the difference lies in the funding details. In a carve-out plan (these are

About a month or so ago, I wrote a column in which I just briefly mentioned that any plans to privatize Social Security would never work, and I said I had cov ered that topic in prior columns. Well, several readers told me they didn’t re member those older columns (the latest was about 4 years ago) and they asked me to address the topic again. So, here goes.

involve either slight tax increases or moderate cuts in benefits. None of them involve the creation of private accounts for Social Security beneficiaries. I am not saying the private accounts are a bad idea. I am saying that they have nothing to do with the future financial health of the program.

Both plans involve requiring younger workers to contribute money to an IRAtype account that would offer several investment options. The worker could choose a safe but generally low-yielding account or a riskier but potentially more rewarding one. The investments from this account would then be used to aug ment Social Security retirement benefits.

If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has a book with all the an swers. It’s called “Social Security: Simple and Smart.” You can find the book at www. creators.com/books, or look for it on Amazon or other book

usually the plans touted by Republicans), the worker’s IRA investment would be funded with a portion of his or her So cial Security payroll tax. For example, currently 6.2% of a worker’s salary is de ducted for Social Security taxes. A carveout plan might specify that 4.2% continue to be used to fund Social Security while 2% would be funneled into the private ac count. In other words, this plan gets its funding by carving it out of the current Social Security system.

CREATORS.COM 4 202216,SeptemberDiscovery

Each plan has its pros and cons. The downside to an add-on plan is that more out-of-paycheck spending would be re quired from workers to fund their retire ment portfolio. But the advantage to the plan is its greater rewards. Most “add-on” proposals are modeled after the highly successful “Thrift Savings Plan,” an addon IRA that has been available to federal government workers for years and has given many of them the kind of financial security in retirement not usually associ ated with middle-class civil servants.

Still others claim that Social Security should be managed more like other public pension funds. Most of those funds have a diversified portfolio, with a variety of investments. But every nickel of Social Security assets is invested, by law, in U.S. treasury notes, considered by everyone the safest of all places to stash your cash. What most folks who advocate putting So cial Security funds into private markets can’t comprehend is the immense size of the Social Security trust funds. Compared to a large public pension fund (like many teachers’ retirement funds or police and firefighter funds) Social Security is like Fort Knox and these public funds are just big piggy banks. Those funds may have billions of dollars in assets. But Social Se curity has trillions. You simply can’t com pare

has been working extremely well with a ratio of three workers supporting one retiree. But by the time all the boomers retire (and that will be happening at a quickening pace over the next 15 years), there will be only two workers support ing each retiree. The system simply can not work AS IT’S CURRENTLY STRUC TURED at a two-to-one ratio.

But here is the most important point I need to make about proposals for private accounts -- whether carve-out or add-on. Although they are often mentioned in the same breath as other proposals to “save Social Security,” they do nothing of the sort. Social Security’s long-range financing problems are the result of baby boomers quickly turning into se nior boomers. For years, Social Security

YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY

A more reasonable approach to “pri vatizing” Social Security would allow individual taxpayers to use private or managed accounts to supplement fu ture Social Security benefits. And when you hear talk of such proposals, please remember to ask this question: Is it a “carve-out” plan or an “add-on” plan? There is a huge difference.

The upside to “carve-out” proposals is that no extra financial burden would be placed on young workers to finance the supplemental benefits. But the of ten-unexplained downside is that huge reductions would be necessary in future Social Security benefits. It’s just simple math. If you are going to carve out about one-third of the Social Security payroll tax to fund a worker’s private supple ment, then obviously future Social Se curity benefits for that same worker are going to have to be cut by at least one-third. Apparently, the hope is that a well-managed private account will more than make up the difference. Also, carveout plans come with huge transitional costs. Remember: Social Security is a “pay-as-you-go” program, meaning the money deducted from today’s worker’s paychecks is used to fund benefits to cur rent retirees. So, if you cut the amount of money going into the system, you must get funding from other sources to pay promised benefits to current retirees.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

On the other hand, an “add-on” plan (the plans usually touted by Democrats) would require a worker to contribute an extra amount to fund the private account investments. So, 6.2% of his or her salary would still be deducted to finance Social Security benefits. But in addition, that worker would be required to chip in an extra percentage point or two of salary to fund the Social Security supplement. So, this plan gets its funding by adding to the current Social Security system.

I believe that there is and will be a future correlation between the number of layoffs and as well as the increased rates going forward with the contin ued reduction and softening in housing prices. Currently, this is being experi enced more in the overvalued locations out west and down south, where prices over the last year increased by 25%+. But now interest rates and inflation have now had their negative effect on the market since the beginning of the year. Although Long Island’s econo my has generally been very self-suffi cient and stronger than the national average, future layoffs and increase in housing inventory may turn our still current seller’s market into a more bal anced one or possibly a buyer’s market.

Some still downplay and believe that we aren’t yet in a recession, but as history as shown us two quarters of negative GDP, which we experienced in the first half of this year, that we are technically in one right now and get ting worse. Will it deepen to a situation that is far more serious and worse for our economy? Based on the number of layoffs that are occurring across many industries, tech, (28,000 since the begin ning of 2022) retail, shopping (100,000 from Amazon alone in the second quar ter), according to insiderintellegence. com. Unlike the last two years, the slowing of business growth combined with higher wages has forced most companies to rethink their strategies going forward and to begin the layoff process in earnest.

Also what has come into play is that gas prices have come down over $1.50 per gallon in some areas in the last 30 days, as the U.S. government’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve has been adding one million barrels of oil per day (an allotment of 240 million barrels totally with help from our allies and partners globally) which has reduced gas prices by 40 cents a gallon. To me this is a temporary band aid fix as the war in the Ukraine drags on and I am not convinced this can continue with the lack of supply in the future and whereby gas prices could go back to higher levels.

But back to the dryer. It especially seemed to take great delight in spin ning my sheets and towels into a ball so nothing inside the ball dried. I know that a lot of people have similar dryer frustrations, but my dryer has it in for all my other clothes as well. If I were to put even one lone sock into the dryer for a full cycle, that too would come out damp at the end. Of course, it would only be one sock, because the washer, which also has it in for me, would have already made the other sock in the pair disappear.Backin my great-grandmother’s day, they had to do the dishes and wash the clothes by hand, take the rug out back and beat it with a stick, and make a bad cup of coffee in a pan over a fire.

Who among us has never gazed into a starry night sky and wondered, “Are we alone in the universe?” With the hundreds of billions of stars in just our own Milky Way galaxy -- with possibly trillions of other galaxies beyond -- is it not possible that orbiting some stars there are at least a few planets where life has originated and evolved?

The Thunder 8s – Diez kicked off their second season with a 19-6 win against Levittown on Sunday morning at Community Park. The boys began the day by honoring and paying tribute to all of the lives lost on September 11, 2001.

The second half was an exercise in ball control, and the Thunder offense proved up to the task. RB Cannon Halsted led the team with 9 carries,

The expected rain for the 10:30 a.m. start held off, but some may have been welcome to help douse the fire that the Thunder offense ignit ed. Scoring touchdowns on each of its first three possessions, the team quickly put the game out of reach. RB George Lekanides posted the first two scores with 28 and 21 yard scam pers to the right side. RB Henry Campolettano finished off the first half scoring explosion with a 20 yard burst off left tackle. Halfback Owen Grant may have turned in the per formance of the day, providing the key block on each of the touchdown runs and delivering a particularly bone-jarring hit on the second score

which leveled the opposing corner back.Those 18 points were more than enough to settle the outcome, as the Thunder defense was literally impen etrable. The unit held Levittown to -2 yards of total offense. Maybe it was the addition of four new defenders this year that propelled the defense to new heights of stinginess. DL JD Scianablo, Charlie Callahan, and Walker Hayes anchored the front line, and CB Sammy Wolk sealed the edge in a stifling display. The other new addition this season, OL Braden Parker, earned the start, and he was equally impressive on the opposite side of the ball.

Danny Psaki opened up the scoring in the action packed second half with the first of two touchdown passes from Cole Webber. Stevie Finnel blasted his way through the Long Beach defense for 99 yards and three key catches, one of which resulted in a crucial GC touchdown. RJ Votruba was a force on the ground all game, tallying 135 rushing yards and touchdown of his own. Hayden Minuto kicked 3 extra points to bring the Garden City total scoring to 21. The Offensive line lead by Andrew Cresciullo, and Sawyer Olson did a superb job creating the space for the high power ground game, and the time needed for the precise GC air strikes.

Once back in Garden City, well prepared for the challenges of the season, the team hit the home turf for a league opening match against Mineola on Tuesday. The boys were fired up to face a strong Mustang eleven that were sure to test the Trojans.Theboys were quick to shake off the jitters of the opening match and settled into a good rhythm moving the ball around the field. And the ball movement paid off a little over eight minutes into the game as Tommy Poz beat the defense with some strong moves out of the corner and was able to push the ball past the Mineola

Once Garden City took control of the ball, and the match, the sec ond half looked much more like a Trojan team. The score sheet saw six players pick up points led be John Gibbons three goals. Also scoring for the Trojans were James Healy and Christian Pica, with Luke Menger, Tommy Poz and Aidan Molloy chip ping in with key assists. Although the defense gave up the two first half goals, they shut down the Oceanside offense for the last 40 minutes.

The long weekend featured some solid technical training, morning yoga ses sions, two a day workouts and fun team building exercises. The team wrapped up their weekend with a moment to pause and remember the 21st anniversary of 9/11.

Senior captain Robert Patrissi breaks through the challenge.

The remainder of the half, and the game for that matter, was a battle of two physically and technically sound teams. Both squads had chances to hit the scoresheet, but it was either the defense clearing the box or the keepers coming up with key saves.

Boys Varsity Soccer campaign kicks off

For Garden City, James Castoro was at his best in the second half as he came up with two difficult saves to maintain the shutout for the Trojans.

The boys soccer team got off to a good start as they headed off to the Poconos for their annual early season camp with two non-league victories last week. A 6-0 win against Lawrence on Monday, followed up by a 5-2 victory over Oceanside on Wednesday.Thekick-off game of the season against Lawrence was a complete team effort as six different play ers scored a goal — Ryan Arlotta, John Gibbons, Aidan Molloy, Robert Patrissi, James Healey and Luke Menger. Arlotta chipped in with two assists and Christian Pica had one to also hit the scoresheet. A key to the game was the Trojan defense, a group led by senior co-captains Patrissi and Spencer Caporicci, and keeper James Castoro, who was tested with only 2 shots on goal by Lawrence.

The boys traveled to Great Neck South on Thursday, and then face a 3-0 Floral Park team on Saturday. The game against Floral Park will be a test for the GC defense as they are off to a good start outscoring their opponents 12-2 in their three wins.

at halftime and the Trojans brought the game back to their ball control style. The first half was an up and down the field track meet for much of the twenty minutes, a style that the Trojans can play, but they much rather bring the game back to their feet and work the ball around the field. The strength of GC’s game has been ball control under coach Cutter for the past few winning seasons and this squad will undoubtedly be more successful once they settle into it.
