Vitelli (front row, left), and Police Officer Pop Unit Mark McCartin (back row, right) at the grand reopening of Nassau County Police Department 2nd Precinct Satellite in the Broadway Mall.

Zorn’s of Bethpage has been part of the Bethpage community for many decades, and now the iconic family store will undergo a major transformation and move their business to another building on the property. Located at 4321 Hempstead Turnpike, Zorn’s will open a brand new building to accommodate their long-standing customer base. Merrill Zorn, president and CEO of Zorn’s of Bethpage, said that the move would be a new chapter in the legacy of the store. “This is the beginning of the next chapter of our historic family’s legacy on Long Island,” said Zorn. “What is most important to me is that we’re keeping the entire Zorn’s of Bethpage family together. All of our employees will transition with us to the new operation.” The new building will be on the western side of the property and will be smaller in scale than the previous building. The new building will be approximately 8,000 square feet with most of the property being taken up by the kitchen area. The previous building was 25,000 square feet

including kitchen area, store layout and a basement warehouse. “It was time for a change, time f or something new,” said Zorn. “Of course, we will carry over our traditions to the new facility and the look and feel of our store will not change.” A spokesperson for Zorn’s said that by moving to a smaller scale operation, it will make for a more efficient way to do business. The construction process is currently ongoing on the property site but it will not effect store operations or business hours. The new store is slated to open in January of 2019, right after the Christmas holidays. In the meanwhile, Zorn’s is asking its customers to provide them with some of their best memories of the store through what they’re calling the Zorn’s of Bethpage History Project. People can participate by sending photos, videos or written letters about their past experiences through email at memories@zornsofbethpage.com. people can also post on social media using the hashtag Zornsofbethpagehistory.

Will local toy store benefit from Toys R Us closing?

BY GARY SIMEONE MJ Beanz in Plainview has been a staple in the community for years, fulfilling the toy buying needs of children and adults alike. Now with the recent closing of the major toy store chain Toys R Us, mom and pop shops like MJ Beanz could stand to benefit from an increased customer base. Steven Goldfarb, owner of MJ Beanz, said he doesn’t feel that Toys R Us closing its doors would impact customer count

at his location, but that he wouldn’t mind the extra business. “We are a little different than the Toys R Us model in that we’re a high service neighborhood store, but we would definitely welcome whatever comes to us,” said Goldfarb. Goldfarb believes that most Toys R Us customers will probably end up going to places like Walmart, Target or going to online shopping sites after the store chain closes at the end of April. “We don’t stock techy toys or a lot

of the stuff that could be found at Toys R Us. We specialize in things of the traditional variety like children’s coloring books, dolls, stuffed animals,puzzles, and arts and crafts kits.” Goldfarb is a toy connoisseur of sorts, having been in the toy business for over two decades. Before he owned MJ Beanz, he was working in a neighborhood toy store in Manhattan called HomBom Toys. That classic neighborhood toy store was similar to MJ Beanz, selling everything from

arts and crafts, educational toys to science kits. “The difference between us and a store like Toys R Us is that we offer more of a personal touch to our customers. We offer free local delivery and free gift wrapping year round.” He said that he appreciates that hometown feel of owning a neighborhood store, and that much of his business comes from word if mouth.

Students of the Long Island High School for the Arts who have been inducted into the National Honor Society for Dance Arts. This past February, Nassau BOCES Long Island High School for the Arts (LIHSA) inducted its second class of exceptional students into the National Honor Society for Dance Arts (NHSDA). The twelve students from throughout Long Island were recognized not only for their skill on the dance floor but also for their academic achievements and leadership. The inductees were Caroline Alter (Wantagh UFSD), Gina Griffo (Levittown UFSD), Kate Altman (Seaford UFSD), Ayla Haik (Northport-East Northport UFSD), Natalie Baquet (Levittown UFSD), Carly Manza (Lynbrook UFSD), Alexandria Buckvar (Massapequa UFSD), Jada Miley (Amityville UFSD), Faith Centa (Massapequa UFSD), Hailey Stanco (Levittown UFSD), Frankie England (Massapequa UFSD), and Adianna Valentine (Massapequa UFSD). These are high-achieving students with evolving artistry and a genuine

interest in so many areas of the arts,” said Dance Department Director and NHSDA Chapter Sponsor Dina DenisPaolucci. “I’m really proud of all of them. It’s a huge accomplishment.” In addition to Ms. Denis-Paolucci, a number of other VIPs were on hand to offer words of congratulations to the inductees, including Nassau BOCES Board President Eric Schultz, LIHSA NHSDA President Arielle Waters, and past President Jared Stern. The evening featured a candle lighting ceremony and, of course, a number of impressive performances by LIHSA dance students. Candidates for induction into the NHSDA must demonstrate outstanding artistic merit, exceptional leadership skills and notable academic achievement. The Society works to promote a desire for life-long learning in the field of dance, to encourage an understanding of and appreciation for dance as an art form, and to develop knowledgeable audiences for the future.

Levittown BOE recognizes good work of students and PTA

It was an evening of recognitions as the Levittown Board of Education awarded the good work of students and PTA members during the March 14 public meeting. Students who won the individual school competitions leading up to the Feb. 11 Hofstra Long Island Regional Scripps Spelling Bee were honored with certificates and included: Matthew Hartmann, Abbey Lane Elementary School, grade 5; Melody Hong, East Broadway School, grade 5; Nicole Magnozzi, Gardiners Avenue School, grade 5; Kevin Tierney, Lee Road School, grade 4; Charith Maddipatia, Northside School, grade 5; Gavin Vargas, Summit Lane School, grade 5; Noah Yousha, Salk Middle School, grade 8; and Alex Gao, Wisdom Lane Middle School, grade 6.

Division Avenue High School student Ryan Alvarez and MacArthur High School student Nicholas Portello also gave their personal impressions about the Advanced Placement Capstone program, now in its second year of implementation in the district. Both students showcased their AP Research projects on automotive technology in the food service industry and the social and cultural implications of being a restaurant server. The students noted that participating in the AP Capstone program assisted them in working harder and preparing them for the future. The recognition portion of the board meeting commenced with a reception for members of the PTA. Assistant Superintendent for Instruction Todd Winch thanked the recipients and noted that the PTA “drives the vision of the district” through their work with students.

Some thoughts on retirement BY BOB MORGAN, JR.

This is a probably a column that I would not have written five or 10 years ago, but here are a few thoughts about retirement. First, let me say that although a good deal of my law practice centers around retirement plans and arrangements, until recently I actually have not given much thought to retirement on a personal level and have no immediate plans to retire. Indeed, I generally like my employed life, which in addition to law, includes community activities and writing this column. Nevertheless, even apart from my work duties, it is hard to avoid completely the subject of retirement. To pick one example, I will attain my full Social Security retirement age of 66 later this year, so one upcoming decision is whether to apply for benefits, which no longer will be offset by earnings if I start taking them after my birthday, but which will be higher if I commence later. There are obvious trade-offs to deferring benefits; I’m feeling fine, but who knows how many years I will be around to collect. While health advances have raised the number of people attaining retirement age, mixed feelings about retirement have been around for quite a while. Obviously, many people who are retired are thoroughly happy to be out of the workforce and the demands of bosses or clients, and very much enjoy spending time with family and friends or pursuing their favorite activities. A side benefit is that many retirees spend some or all of their time in nice climates. In addition, of course, there are a fair number of people who wish they could retire but never believe they can, usually because of economic concerns. Sometimes this is the result of poor financial discipline, but for others it just is the unfortunate product of just a difficult life situation, like having to take care of a relative. Of course, financial planning is somewhat more tricky now that self-directed 401(k) plans have supplanted traditional defined benefit plans for most workers.

On the other hand, retirement has never been universally popular, even for those who can afford it. Both of my grandfathers disliked the idea of retirement at age 65, which was much more mandatory than it is now. My mother’s father, an immigrant from Ireland, had a pension from various government jobs, but he quite eagerly worked numerous part time jobs, like museum guard, until well into his 70’s. My father’s father, a manager for the telephone company, complained quite a bit about having to retire, even though he was in a good financial position. He came to terms with his new role by doing a complete refurbishment of his house in New Jersey. An article this week in The New York Times called “Many Americans Try Retirement, Then Change Their Minds” points up the mixed feelings many people have about retirement. The article tells the story of a nurse, now 69, who went back to work after retiring and states that “unretirement” is becoming more common. The piece says that in a recent RAND Corporation survey, almost 40 percent of workers over 65 had previously, at some point, retired. Additionally, the article reports on a Pew Research Center study reporting that the proportion of Americans over age 65 who were employed, full-time or part-time, has climbed steadily from 12.8 percent in 2000 to 18.8 percent in 2016. More than half were working full time. I suspect that the ambivalence about retirement will, if anything, increase. People 65 and older are healthier, thanks to greater consciousness about health and improved prescription drugs and, quite significantly, are frequently more mobile, because of life-renewing surgeries like hip replacement. I doubt that I will want to work until I drop and the idea of not having to be somewhere five days a week does have appeal, especially on wintry mornings. Nevertheless, I am not alone in my skepticism that retirement is an unmixed blessing

Students and staff at Summit Lane Elementary School celebrated the end of their Hoops for Heart fundraiser on March 16th by honoring top student donors and sliming Principal Keith Squillacioti in the school gymnasium. This year, a total of 265 students participated in the fundraiser, along with Summit Lane staff members. Together, they raised $15,711 for the American Heart Association. Each year, under the direction of physical education teacher Cynthia Dano and her team, the school community gathers to hear how much money they raised for Hoops for Heart. The national education and fundraising program promotes physical education and provides students with the knowledge of heart disease and stroke,while raising funds for cardiovascular disease research, stroke research, and health education. The annual event is a celebration for the school’s fundraising efforts.

The students who raised the most money were recognized for their hard work and generosity with a medal. Each raised more than $800 and had the first opportunity to slime Squillacioti. Wearing protective eye gear, Squillacioti sat in a kiddie pool as students poured buckets of slime on him. Board of Education President Peggy Marenghi and staff watched as classes cheered. He was eventually covered from head to toe in the green and orange goo, a role that he later said he was happy to be a part of. “As always, Summit Lane students and faculty have come together for a great cause as we donated to people in need,” said Principal Squillacioti. “All these great programs that we put in place and all the resources that we have at our school could not take place without the support of our central administration.”

Lights, camera, kindness at Jonas E. Salk Middle School

Students from Jonas E. Salk Middle School and Wisdom Lane Middle School recently received a red carpet experience during the Levittown Public Schools first Lights! Camera! Kindness! Multimedia Awards Night at the Levittown Memorial Education Center. As part of the students summer reading book, Pay it Forward by Catherine Ryan Hyde, the middle schoolers were challenged to do acts of kindness and create a video highlighting their actions. The evening consisted of two presentations, one for each school, where

students first spoke about how they showed kindness or paid it forward and then premiered their video. Individual and group projects from classes and organizations were featured throughout the event. Videos ranged from students fundraising for important causes to paying it forward and working with peers to bring kindness into the classroom and beyond. Each participant received a medal for their hard work and service.

72 Hours in Philadelphia: Ben Franklin, America’s Revolutionary ‘Elder Statesman,’ Would Have Been Quite at Home in 21st Century BY KAREN RUBIN

The “Ghost House” frames where Ben Franklin’s house would have stood, in what is now Franklin Court © Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com

My third day of my deep-dive into Revolutionary War America in Philadelphia is devoted to exploring key figures and sites I never visited before: Benjamin Franklin Museum, the Betsy Ross House and the National Constitution Center. Once again, the best way to connect is to walk because you are quite literally walking “in the footsteps” of these iconic individuals, and in so doing weave together the places and events, create a context. It is exciting to happen upon a site – a historic marker, a building keystone – that you would never have thought to seek out. I set out again from my hotel, the Sonesta Downtown Rittenhouse Square, walking down Market Street, through City Hall, to Chestnut Street. I am off to visit the Benjamin Franklin Museum, which is relatively new (open four years) and very close to the very new Museum of the American Revolution (see 3/30). The trick here is that you need to walk up an alley (I missed it the first few times I went by). I enter from Chestnut Street, but you can also come through from Market Street, where there is a row of townhomes (“Franklin’s Neighborhood”) that includes the post office, Franklin’s print shop, and looks back at City Hall. Ben Franklin is, of course, a native son of Philadelphia, and justifiably the most revered figure, and here we learn why that is so deserved, why the city still has his stamp. See page D2

72 Hours in Philadelphia: Ben Franklin, America’s Revolutionary ‘Elder Statesman,’ Would Have Been Quite at Home in 21st Century

Continued from page D1 You enter a courtyard and come upon the “Ghost House” - the sculptural frame of Franklin’s home (the museum is actually in what would have been the basement) you can peek into the archeologically preserved remains of the foundation of his house. Franklin’s grandkids, unable to afford the “prohibitive” taxes, tore the house down in 1812 to sell to a real-estate developer (proof that there is nothing new under the sun). Eventually, a rooming house was built on the site. The National Park Service tore that down in the 1950s in order to restore the Franklin site, and after the Independence Bicentennial in 1976, it became a National Park, administered by the National Park Service. The exhibit area is divided into five “rooms” with each room interestingly focusing on a particular trait of Franklin’s: ardent and dutiful, ambitious and rebellious, motivated to improve, curious and full of wonder, and strategic and persuasive. There are videos, touch screen interactives, mechanical interactives, and artifacts in each area. An additional area called the “Library” presents a video with excerpts from Franklin’s Autobiography. The exhibit is well presented to give a total biography of this fascinating Renaissance, self-made man, who so epitomizes the American Dream. I come to Franklin Museum hoping to learn more of this fascinating man,

and was richly rewarded. I did not realize his humble beginnings, or fully appreciate the range of his talents, accomplishments. My essential question about Franklin – my theory that it was the Stamp Act (not the tea tax) which imposed taxes on newspapers that was the key to the colonists taking up arms to “free” themselves from the greatest superpower humankind had known – has a lot to do with Franklin. Franklin was not just a printer, but a newspaper publisher who provided seed money to newspapers throughout the colonies and became (what I consider) the first syndicated columnist, sending out editorials that would have been printed in those papers; Franklin even first incited his brother’s ire by writing provocative columns under a pseudonym when he was a teenager. My theory (as yet unproved) is that newspaper editors were the ones who turned opinion against British rule, gave the colonists the notion that they could actually win their independence, and gave the colonists from Massachusetts to Virginia, who were then (as now) very different, a sense of unity as Americans. Had the British not imposed the Stamp Tax, the newspaper editors may not have been so gung ho for Revolution. If my theory could be addressed at the museum, it was not at all clear to me. But what is clear is that Franklin lived in the Age of Enlightenment – ideas and innovations were spread

Benjamin Franklin, “The Sage” is the only Founding Father to have signed all four of the major documents of the founding of the United States: the Declaration of Independence, the Treaty of Alliance (1778) with France, the Treaty of Paris that ended the Revolution (1783) and the United States Constitution (1787), though he was sick and suffering in pain during the Constitutional Convention and died shortly after, in 1790 © Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com

by trade and globalism – and people with the wit and wisdom like Franklin (despite having only two years of formal schooling) were encouraged to learn, innovate, invent not just technology (he did experiments with electricity and invented the lightening rod, bifocals, Franklin stove, urinary catheter and glass harmonica and charted and named the Gulf Stream) but civic society (volunteer fire department, the Philadelphia hospital, library, founded what became the University of Pennsylvania) and politics. There was greater willingness to challenge authority and notions of “divine right” – even question institutionalized religion - and class rather than be ruled by them. Colonists - who hailed from many countries in addition to Britain and would not have had loyalty to the Crown - had already lived in the New World for a century, and saw themselves not as British but as Americans. And Franklin knew better than anyone that a person from humble beginnings could ascend the ranks of social status. It is fairly ironic that the people who claim to be the Tea Party have none of the attributes of the colonial revolutionaries. I am surprised to learn that Franklin never patented his inventions, believing in the equivalent of what we call “open source.” He was a key figure in creating the Declaration of Independence – one of the committee of 5 (with Jefferson, Adams, Roger Sherman and Robert Livingston); and along with Adams, nominated Jefferson to write the Declaration

and made some important changes to Jefferson’s draft. As America’s ambassador to France during the Revolution, he secured the support of the French, critical to winning the Revolutionary War. He was a generation older than Adams and was in his 80s during the Continental Congress – near death and in significant discomfort. He was considered a giant, an elder statesman, “The Sage.” I was shocked to learn that Franklin initially owned and dealt in slaves (it was a time when that was common place, even in the North) but by the 1750s, he argued against slavery from an economic perspective and became one of the most prominent abolitionists. His personal background is worthy of a multi-part dramatic series: Ben Franklin was born in Boston in 1706, one of 17 children of his father. He only attended two years of formal schooling which ended when he was 10; he continued his education through voracious reading. At 12, he apprenticed to his older brother, James, a printer, who founded the first independent newspaper in the colonies. Ben started publishing columns secretly under a pseudonym (his brother was furious). When James, who was a free thinker, was jailed for three weeks in 1722 for publishing material unflattering to the governor, Ben took over the newspaper and wrote, in the character of his alter-identity Mrs. DoGood, “Without freedom of thought there can be no such thing as wisdom and no such thing as public

liberty without freedom of speech.” In 1723, Franklin escaped his apprenticeship and fled to Philadelphia, making him a fugitive. He took up lodging in the Read home, and at the age of 17, proposed marriage to 15-year old Deborah Read. But her mother refused permission for them to marry. Franklin went off to London for several years and Deborah married John Rodgers, who abandoned her, ran off with her dowry but without a divorce, leaving her unable to remarry. When Ben Franklin returned to Philadelphia, he formed a common-law marriage with Deborah who becomes a mother to Ben’s illegitimate son, William. (William grew up to become a Loyalist and self-exiled himself to London; William too had an illegitimate son who became Ben Franklin’s secretary and aide.) Deborah and Ben had two more children together, but his son died at the age of 4 of smallpox; his daughter Sarah married, had children, and took care of Ben in his old age I hadn’t realized that Franklin spent much of his life abroad, especially between 1757-1775, and as Ambassador to France from 1776-1785. Franklin returned to the United States in 1787 and is the only Founding Father who is a signatory of all four of the major documents of the founding of the United States: the Declaration

of Independence, the Treaty of Alliance (1778) with France, the Treaty of Paris that ended the Revolution (1783) and the United States Constitution (1787), though he was sick and suffering in pain during the Constitutional Convention. When Ben Franklin died in 1790, 20,000 people attended his funeral. Later, I see where he was interred in Christ Church Burial Ground. It is interesting to note that in 1728, when he was just 22, Franklin wrote his own epitaph: “The Body of B. Franklin Printer; Like the Cover of an old Book, Its Contents torn out, And stript of its Lettering and Gilding, Lies here, Food for Worms. But the Work shall not be wholly lost: For it will, as he believ’d, appear once more, In a new & more perfect Edition, Corrected and Amended By the Author.” But his actual tombstone simply reads, “Benjamin and Deborah Franklin,” as he specified in his final will. You leave the museum realizing what a remarkable Renaissance man Franklin was – like Thomas Jefferson in that way – with all the inventions and areas of success. Franklin was very much a modern man; if ever there was a person who could find himself 250 years in the future, he would have been very much at home in the 21st century. And very much Philadelphia’s Favorite Son

It is very family-friendly. A ranger will set children off on a scavenger hunt for the small squirrel figurines located throughout the exhibits - Franklin delighted in pet squirrels, or skuggs as they were known in his day. See page D5

On the analysis of the Hofstra 2017-18 Basketball Season BY LOU THEODORE

Last year, I described Hofstra’s 201617 season with one word: underperformance. Here are some of my bullet pointers from last year. • Once again (as with last year) defense was woefully weak. • Once again, bench help was essentially non-existent. • Sabathy (the reserve center) was underutilized. • Rokas had a disappointing season; his defense play was often missing and also had a poor shooting season. • Foreman emerged as a force to be reckoned with the next two years. • The club lacked a floor leader. • I don’t see a leader emerging next year; this should be potentially worrisome. • Hire an assistant coach to help reduce/eliminate defensive problems. • STOP playing zone; Wisconsin had several players who couldn’t guard one-on-one and yet played a solid manto-man defense. • Recruit players who play stellar defense. • Although the team’s goal should be to win games, the ultimate goal is to win the CAA tournament – and that should be reflected in the team’s phi-

losophy and overall preparation during the season. • Players should understand that the magic word in defense is INTENSITY! And this is where bench help comes into play. Here are some earlier comments on defense that appeared in my BASKETBALL COACHING 101 book. “The author repeatedly told basketball aficionados that defense is 50% of the game. And every individual has responded with something to the effect: ‘of course, I (or we) know that’. But really? Who believes them? After all, from the first day a player is introduced to basketball, offense has been stressed. The novice is taught and/or learns how to shoot, dribble, pass, etc. Defense was almost always an afterthought. In fact, the author has repeatedly claimed that it is great guards that get a team to a championship game, but it is great defensive guards that win championships. It is their ability to create havoc on the opponent’s offense that makes the difference.” “How important is defense? Here is a case in point. Stevie Mejia served as the point (or 1) guard for the 20122013 Hofstra team. Some in press row commented on several occasions that Stevie wasn’t playing to his full

potential. What they were referring to was his scoring. Yet during the season, he stopped the star guards Scott Machado and Michael Alvarado of Iona and Manhattan College, respectively, COLD! These two players were projected first-round and second-round picks, respectively. Interestingly, Hofstra lost three games during the 2013-2014 season because of an inability to stop the star guard of the opposing team.” Here was my earlier analysis for the team this year. “They legitimately have a chance to be the premier team in the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA). But I believe that many of my earlier concerns have carried over to this year, particularly a porous defense. I hope not. On the positive side is Coach Joe Mikalich. He is capable of turning things around if he opts for a man-toman defense and commits to something more than a 6-man rotation.” “As for predications, it will probably be another mediocre year for three reasons: 1. Their defense remains unexplainably weak at times, allowing the opposing team to take layup practice during the course of the game. 2. The team is devoid of a shot blocker, adding to their defensive woes. 3. Player attitude problems may

have surfaced. Bottom Line: I’m not too optimistic; hopefully, I’m wrong. The talent is there, but…” Well, what about this year? They had close to a dream team – Rokas (leading rebounder in the country), Foreman–Wright (CAA Player of Year), Pemberton…etc. It was indeed a dream team, but perhaps from an offensive perspective. They went 19-12 and finished third in the CAA. Scoring during the season was not a problem but they were consistently inconsistent when it came to defense. Still, they had a good shot to win the CAA tournament and go on to the NCAA tournament. What happened? They played one of the weakest teams in the CAA at the start of the tournament and lost 93-88, unable to guard the opposition star who scored 37 points. I mean, this other “weak” team scored nearly 100 points. The offensive scoring machine in this year’s NCAA tournament average under 70 points/ game. If that’s not the icing on the cake with regard to defense, I don’t know what is. Hopefully, this will be a wakeup call, but I doubt it. What’s the bottom line regarding Hofstra’s defense?

When in Doubt, Always File a Claim BY TOM MARGENAU

Q: I want to thank you so much for helping me out. A few months ago, I gave you the particulars of our situation. I won’t repeat all the numbers, but my husband’s benefit is substantially more than my own. You said that based on the figures I gave you, I might be due extra spousal support. I went to my local Social Security office. The clerk seemed a little confused and initially told me that if I was due more, I would have been getting it already. When I persisted, he went and talked to someone else. They came back to the desk together, printed out something from the computer and told me to read it. It supposedly said I wasn’t due anything. (I have a college degree, but I couldn’t decipher it!) When I got back home, I sent you a follow-up email. You told me to return to the office and insist on filing a claim. Long story short: I did so and just today I got my first spousal check in the mail, including six months of back pay. I can’t thank you enough for encouraging me to do this. A: Someday I might write an entire column simply repeating this mantra over and over again: When in doubt, insist on filing a claim! When in doubt, insist on filing a claim! When in doubt, insist on filing a claim! Sadly, I hear from people like you way too often. I certainly don’t want to imply that everyone working in a Social Security office is a clueless bureaucrat who doesn’t know what he or she is doing. In fact, just the opposite is the case. I hear from readers all the time telling me about the wonderful and helpful service they received from someone at their local Social Security office. Still, every barrel has a rotten apple or two. Or to be more specific, every Social Security office has a few new or maybe not fully trained employees. So that’s the reason for my mantra. If you are in a Social Security office or talking to a representative on the phone about your possible eligibility for some kind of Social Security benefit, and the person you are talking to seems confused, or if you just feel uncomfortable with the answers you are getting, then always insist on filing a claim. And don’t let the clerk talk you out of it. You have every right in the world to do so. And by doing that, you will get a formal, legal and written decision about your eligibility for benefits, as opposed to a Social Security clerk’s verbal denial of your claim. Or for that matter, as opposed to my suggestion that you may or may not be due benefits. Having said all that, let me flip over to the other side of that coin and address the most common complaint I get: “My husband is getting his Social Security and I am getting a much smaller amount.

Shouldn’t I be getting half of his?” The answer to that question is usually no. A wife only gets her benefit supplemented up to half of what her husband is getting IF she waited until her full retirement age to apply for benefits. And, her spousal benefit is based on her husband’s full retirement age rate, not his enhanced rate if he waited until some later point, like age 70, to file for benefits. Most women sign up for Social Security before their full retirement age. Many of them do so at age 62. If you took benefits at 62, your spousal rate is more like one-third, not one-half. I’m pointing this out because I don’t want half the women reading this column marching into their local Social Security office and saying: “There’s a guy who writes a Social Security column in our newspaper who says I should insist on filing a claim for extra spousal benefits.” You should be able to get out your calculator and do the math to find out if you are due any extra spousal benefits. If you’re not sure, one of those many excellent and well-trained Social Security staffers I mentioned earlier should be able to go over the numbers with you. Only employ my mantra if you think you are due benefits and you get one of those bad apples. And speaking of bad apples, read the next question and you’ll see that even a Social Security columnist can occasionally hand out advice that’s a bit “wormy!” Q: I love reading your column. I have learned so much over the years. And one of the best things you’ve taught me is how to look up information for myself -- especially at the Social Security Administration website. And by doing that, I’ve discovered that you may have given someone misinformation. The situation involved a woman who had a split marriage. She married a guy, divorced him, and then later remarried the same guy. The first marriage didn’t last 10 years. The second marriage lasted only 6 months, and then her husband died. You told her that she wasn’t due any widow’s benefits because the rules say a marriage must last at least 9 months before a woman can be legally considered a widow for Social Security purposes. I looked up that rule, and you are right. But that rule includes some exceptions. And one of them says that the 9 month rule can be waived if: “At the time of your marriage the (husband) was reasonably expected to live for 9 months, and you had been previously married to the (husband) for at least 9 months.” A: Doggone it, you are right! I read about the 9-month rule in the Social See page D7

On the analysis of the Hofstra 2017-18 Basketball Season

C ontinued from page D3

scored 50% above the average scoring of the other 3 quarterfinal games in their game against Hofstra. Do you need anything more? 50% more than the other teams were scoring!! You want more? The next night Wilmington scored 52 points (not 93!) and lost by 27 points. Obviously, the Hofstra players were either never taught how to play defense or don’t care to play defense or don’t realize the importance of defense…or some combination of the above. It’s time for the Hofstra team and Coach Mikalich to rethink their approach to defense; I doubt the end result will change next year unless some action on defense is implemented. The NY Dodger fans’ motto during the 1950s was: wait till next year. And, indeed, they will have to wait till next year. Next year will bring forth a powerhouse group of guards that will need to be supplemented with a shot-blocking big man who can play defense. But, they will also need to help in two more areas: play a solid defensive guard and stop playing zone defense. Finally, it is business as usual with the NCAA and, in particular, college basketball. The Feds have now accused numerous key individuals associated with the sport with wrong doings. Yet,

nothing has been done and no one really expects anything to be done. There was absolutely no mention of the scandals during any of the NCAA Tournament games or any of the analysis programs, even though all of the participants were aware of the scandals--with the knowledge that there were more on the horizon. CORRUPTION REIGNS! In case you missed it, loveable Rick Pitino has asked for another chance. In the spirit of Easter, I suggest he be brought back to basketball to coach at the J.V. high school level where he will not be in a position to further embarrass our sport. It was 14 year ago when I started clamoring that the NCAA’s concept of the student-athlete was one of the alltime great scams perpetrated on the public. The NCAA corruption is a cancer that will not go away because of the money involved, and, nearly everybody now knows it. Look for some massive changes (coaches, ADs, presidents, etc.) in the coming months as the rats scurry to the foothills. It will take some time, but ultimately the disgraceful “coaching legends” – Pitino, Calipari, Williams, Smith, Izzo, Calhoun, Boeheim, Krzyzewski, etc. - will hopefully get their due, even though they are/were caught up in a system that requires them to lie, deceive, manipulate, etc., in order to survive. And, wait

until the football bubble bursts; it will be worse than the basketball scams. In the meantime, coaches like Bob McKillop (Davidson), Jim Jones (Yale), DeChellis (Navy), etc., remain on the sidelines in semi-obscurity even though they are legitimately the true legends of the game. In fact, I continue to claim that BMCK is the premiere coach in the country because of what he has been able to accomplish while playing by the rules. On a sad side, Jeff Hathaway—one of the good guys in our sport—has resigned (?) as AD, and Rick Cole will be replacing him. President Rabinowitz tells us that Cole is “the one to take us to the next level.” I can guarantee both of them that the next level will not become a reality in Hofstra’s mens basketball future unless defensive issues

are addressed . . . immediately . . . and you can take that to the bank. P.S. A 13 member class headlined the 2018 Basketball Hall of Fame inductees, including such “greats” as Katie Smith, Charlie Scott, Rod Thorn, Lofty Driesell, Tina Thompson, Rick Welts, Dino Radja, and Ora Washington. And how did my nominations--Jack Powers (NIT), Eddie Corbett (referee), and BMCK (coach) fare? You guessed it. They simply don’t fit into the HOF committee’s concept of legends. Some of those selected are embarrassing. Nearly everybody told me that the selection process was a joke. I now have come to believe this as fact. Sad Stuff!

When in Doubt, Always File a Claim C ontinued from page D4 Security guidebook, but I missed the exceptions. Shame on me! But I wasn’t alone in screwing up. If you will recall, the woman with the split marriages told me that she was turned down for widow’s benefits at her local Social Security office and she asked me if I thought it was right. And quoting that 9-month rule, I told her that she was correctly denied benefits. But the reason I am including your email in today’s column is because I ended my advice to this woman by telling he to take further action. This column was all about encour-

aging people to insist on filing a claim for benefits if they have any questions about their possible eligibility. But another version of that advice is to take things one step further -- to file an appeal if a claim is denied and you think the decision is wrong. And that’s what I told the split-marriage woman to do. Assuming she did so, the appeals judge would have caught the exception you cited and granted her widow’s benefits. If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has the answer. Contact him at thomas.margenau@comcast.net. COPYRIGHT 2018 CREATORS.COM

SOURCES OF INFORMATION AND ASSISTANCE The State encourages you to become informed about your options in foreclosure. In addition to seeking assistance from an attorney or legal aid, there are government agencies, and non-profit organizations that you may contact for information about possible options, including trying to work with your lender during this process. To locate an entity near you, you may call the toll-free helpline maintained by New York State Department of Financial Services’ at 1-800-269-0990 or visit the Department’s website at http://www.dfs.ny.gov FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home. There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner’s distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services.

Please read it carefully. Summons and Complaint You are in danger of losing your home. If you fail to respond to the summons and complaint in this foreclosure action, you may lose your home. Please read the summons and complaint carefully. You should immediately contact an attorney or your local legal aid office to obtain advice on how to protect yourself.

Regardless of whether you choose to remain in your home, YOU ARE REQUIRED TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR PROPERTY and pay property taxes in accordance with state and local law. Foreclosure Rescue Scams Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home. There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner’s distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services.

3 ways to use your lawn to improve curb appeal

Though there’s no way of guaranteeing a home improvement project will yield a great return, real estate professionals often cite improving curb appeal as an excellent way to attract prospective buyers and potentially get the asking price or more when selling the home. Improving curb appeal makes even more sense in today’s real estate market, when many people do their own searching via real estate websites such as Trulia or Zillow. When using such sites, buyers will likely be less inclined to click on a listing if exterior photos of the property are not eye-catching. Various projects, including tending to lawns and gardens, can improve curb appeal. An added benefit to focusing on landscaping to improve curb appeal is it promotes spending time outdoors in spring and summer. In addition, many lawn- and garden-related home improvement projects need not require professional expertise. 1. Maintain a lush green lawn. Lawns that fall into disrepair may not give buyers a correct impression about how homeowners maintained their homes. Lawns with multiple dead spots and grass that appears more brown than green may lead many buyers to assume

that the home’s interior was equally ill-cared for. Maintaining lush green lawns is not as difficult as it may seem. Applying fertilizer and aerating at the appropriate times of year (this varies by region) can promote strong roots and healthy soil, making it easier for grass to survive harsh conditions like drought. When watering in summer, do so in early morning or evening so as little water is lost to evaporation as possible. 2. Address brown patch. Even well-maintained lawns can fall victims to brown spots. According to the lawn care professionals at TruGreen, lawns in regions with hot temperatures and high humidity can be infected with brown patch, a common lawn disease that is caused by fungus, which can produce circular areas of brown, dead grass surrounded by narrow, dark rings. Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences notes that removing dew that collects on grass leaves each morning, which can be accomplished by mowing or dragging a water hose across affected areas, can be an effective way to reduce brown patch. Homeowners without much lawn care experience can consult professional landscapers to address the issue. But those looking to sell

their properties should note that buyers often walk the grounds of homes they are considering buying. So addressing any issues on the lawn should be a priority for sellers. 3. Confine dogs to certain areas. Dog owners may want to let their pets roam free in their yards. But homeowners about to put their properties up for sale may want to confine their fourlegged friends to certain areas. That’s because dog urine can be high in nitrogen. Nitrogen itself is not harmful

to lawns, but in high concentrations it can contribute to yellow or brown spots. Also, highly acidic dog urine may even adversely affect pH levels in the soil. Curb appeal can go a long way toward helping homeowners sell their homes, and a lush lawn can be used to catch the eye of prospective buyers.
