September 25 will be the last day in business for the iconic Plainview diner. After more than fifty years of being in business, diner owner John Papavasilopoulos will hang up his apron strings and close up shop for good.Papavasilopoulos ’ son, Niko, said closing the diner will be bitter sweet for his father and their family because of all of the memories shared over the last fifty years.
He said that his dad bought out the diner in the early 1990s and was owner of the business for the better part of three decades.
We missed a lot of baseball and foot ball games to come work here, but it was time well spent.”

The Plainview Diner will be closing after fifty years of operation.

“It felt like the right time for my father to retire, given his age and with the lease being up. We also had a big customer drop-off these last few years with the pandemic. Business has been coming back these past few months, but it’s still not what it used to be.”Papavasilopoulos said that he doesn’t believe his uncle will rent the property to another diner and that the location will most likely become a medical building or bank.
Local diner closes after 50 year run
“My dad actually met my mom, Anna, here at the diner when she was working as a server. This place was like our second home because our family spent so much time here. I’ve been working here in some capacity since I was eight years old.
Niko and his sister, Pamela, con tinued the family tradition when they opened the Parea Greek restau rant in Huntington Village in 2018.
He said that while he enjoys fol lowing in his father’s footsteps in the restaurant business, he will miss the days of clocking in early to the diner.

“My uncle Peter opened this diner in Plainview in 1972, and my dad came over from Greece to help him get it off the ground,” said Papavasilopoulos. “My dad started as a dishwasher and worked his way up to become owner of the family establishment.”
“It’s definitely going to be strange waking up in the morning and not wondering what’s going on at the Plainview diner.”
One of the main reasons for the diner’s closing is that the property’s thirty-year lease is expiring at the end of this month.
The event was filled with fun for the entire family, arrangements were made to have more than 80 vendors of craft and merchandise. The kids enjoyed huge inflat able rides, a towering rock wall, and other games. Several food vendors were happy to serve their festive food packages.

Salutations from the two-show er-a-day club! We both agree that if these last four weeks of our trip had a title it’d be “Never Not Sweating”. The combination of oppressive humidity and laundry machines that never seem to get our clothes fully clean nor fully dry (could definitely be user error, still unclear) make us think the clothes we brought will never smell normal again. BUT the lingering scent of delicious food past, present and future prevails!
Next, we skipped over to Cambodia to see the ancient temples of Angkor, just north of the town of Siem Reap. We were blown away to learn that this site was home to 1 million people at its height about 900 years ago (the largest pre-indus trial city in the world, with 1 out of 400 people on the PLANET living there). The temples throughout the 250-square mile archaeological park are in varying states of being con sumed by the jungle due to a com bination of factors over the yearsnamely neglect, war, vandalism and (thankfully) restoration efforts.

ciated the multiculturalism and qui eter calm of daily life, which was a pretty stark contrast to our previous month in Vietnam. The melting pot of Indian, Chinese and Malay popu lations with all the many permuta tions of ethnic and religious cultures within each group made for a wide sampling of options every meal. And we were reintroduced to traffic lights and crosswalks, adding the months back to our lives that we likely lost from the heart palpitations navi gating the streets and highways of Vietnam. Theplaces we visited were a pretty broad sampling of west ern Malaysia. Penang, a gorgeous UNESCO World Heritage site, is a food stall mecca with funky street art woven throughout. It scores extra cuteness points for being home to the smallest national park in the world. Langkawi feels like how we’ve heard/imagined Kauai to be, amazingly lush and mountainous

fun for a while, but it got personal when Sarah was peacefully enjoying her apple with peanut butter, only to look up (at first excitedly) to see monkeys gripping the balcony rails. This excitement quickly turned to terror as the gaggle of conspirators jumped to her, and one mother mon key with baby hanging on ripped the PB jar right from Sarah’s grasp (which is quite strong, not sure if anyone here has ever tried to take PB from Sarah). Sarah is trying her best not to now think of them as glo rified rats, and has Eric to remind her diligently of our shared ancestry (monkeys are Eric’s favorite animal.. shocker).

Watching their reactions, I was pleased to see that each one seemed to enjoy drinking their green smooth ies. Initially they had been skeptical of drinking a healthy drink but I quickly told my relatives how skeptical I had been. They knew that I was into fitness but no one would have said that I was leading the lifestyle of a health food nut. I wasn’t a vegan or a vegetarian but I was someone who had incorporated green smoothies into my pretty much daily life. I enjoyed drinking them!
Adding a little of this and a little of that, sometimes I’ll add this vegetable or another. Sometimes I like it sweeter and other times I like it tart. Sometimes my green smoothies turn out green and on other days my guests are surprised to see that they’ve got a purplish huethat’s when I’ve added a few blueberries to help make them taste sweeter.

various reactions. I always give credit to Joyce for converting me into a green smoothie aficionado because these days, given a choice between having a green smoothie or eating an ice cream cone, I always choose the green smoothie. And that’s a good thing that never ceases to amaze me!
What’s great about blending your own green smoothies at home is you can modify them any way you wish. I still play around with my ingredients and often it depends on how elaborate I want to get and it also depends on what’s handy in my refrigerator.
Over the years I’ve experimented with different recipes for green smooth ies. Sometimes I use more spinach and sometimes less. Occasionally I’ll have kale in the house but not spin ach so I simply switch the ingredients.

everyone had arrived and sat down chatting amiably, I got to work placing the spinach, broccoli, a banana, milk or dairy substitute and ice in the blender and giving it a whirl.
If I were you, I’d be inclined to go with the first option. And that’s primar ily because option number two is going to complicate your Social Security life for the next several years.
That was a very simple explanation of how ARF works. Now here are a cou ple recent questions I got dealing with that procedure.
back to Hank’s example ear lier in this column. He had four Social Security checks, totaling $10,000, with held from his benefits because of the earnings penalty rules. When he reach
Your other option would be to con tinue receiving Social Security benefits and let the earnings penalty and ARF provisions take their course. I will let you do the math. But with those earn ings penalty provisions, you would be due some benefits between now and full retirement age, but other benefits would have to be withheld. And when you reach 67, the ARF procedure would kick in and your benefit would be adjusted so your ongoing rate is only reduced for the months you actually got a Social Se curity benefit between 62 and 67.
A: Well, you’ve essentially got two options. You could simply withdraw your Social Security claim. (Anyone has up to 12 months after filing for benefits to change their mind.) If you do that, you’d have to repay any Social Securi ty benefits you’ve received so far. Then when you reach your full retirement age of 67 (when the earnings penalty rules go away), you would re-file for your So cial Security. It would be like you are just starting all over again and you will get your full retirement benefit rate.
Now, some more background. I must explain the reduction factors for early re tirement. The law says if you start your Social Security checks before full retire ment age, your benefit will be reduced five-ninths of 1% for each of the first 36 months of reduction and five-twelfths of 1% for any additional months. That’s a bit too convoluted for the examples I’m going to use in this column. So, I am go ing to keep things simple by saying that your benefit is reduced about one-half of 1% for each month you receive benefits before full retirement age.
There is a little-known Social Se curity rule that may help some people who started their Social Security checks before full retirement age and there fore took a reduction in their monthly benefits, but then decided to return to work. Now they wonder if their early retirement reduction is permanent. The answer is it might not be. And that’s be cause a software program built into the Social Security Administration’s com puters kicks in after you reach full re tirement age that is designed to remove the reduction factor for any months you didn’t get a Social Security check because of the SSA’s earnings penalty rules. The program is called the Adjust ment to the Reduction Factor, or ARF.
BY TOM MARGENAU
For example, let’s say that Hank’s full retirement age is 67, but he start ed his benefits when he was 65. That’s 24 months early, so his Social Security benefit was reduced by about 12%. In other words, at age 65, Hank started get ting about 88% of his full retirement age benefit.And with that bit of background, I can close the circle on my ARF expla nation. In my above example, I said that Hank started getting an 88% benefit rate when he took his Social Security at age 65. And because his earnings exceed ed the penalty threshold, I pointed out that $5,000 had to be withheld from his 2022 benefits. Let’s assume his monthly check is $2,500. In other words, the SSA held back two of Hank’s Social Securi ty checks in 2022 because of his excess earnings. And let’s further say that Hank’s earnings in the following year caused two more of his Social Security checks to be withheld.
Q: I recently started my Social Security at age 62. I get $1,650 per month. Now, out of the blue, I’ve been offered a job that will pay me $35,000 annually. I think I’m going to take the job. But I’m in a quanda ry about how to handle my Social Se curity. Can you advise?
Answers on page 2
A: It would be a great deal if it were true -- but it’s not. Your monthly bene fits are NOT repaid to you. As explained in this column, what does come back to you is the reduction factor for those months you didn’t get a Social Security check between your benefit start date andLet’sFRA.go

YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY
Early Retirement Reduction Can Be Adjusted Later
Once Hank turns 67, the ARF pro gram kicks in. That program says Hank’s ongoing permanent benefit can only be reduced for those months he actually re ceived a Social Security check before he turned his full retirement age. In our ex ample, Hank only received 10 Social Se curity checks in 2022 and will get another 10 checks in 2023. In other words, he got 20 of his 24 Social Security checks before reaching full retirement age.
So, instead of the initial 24 month, or 12%, reduction, Hank’s ongoing benefit is adjusted to give him only a 20 month, or 10%, reduction. In other words, start ing at age 67, Hank will get a 2% boost in his Social Security check. Actually, the ARF program usually isn’t finished running until several months after full retirement age, but it will be retroactive to the month of FRA.
CROSSWORD PUZZLE
es his full retirement age, he does not get that $10,000 reimbursed to him. What he gets because of the ARF procedure is a 2% boost in his monthly benefits.
Before I explain how the ARF works, I’ve got to give a little background. I will start out with a quick overview of the earnings penalty. The law says that one dollar must be withheld from your So cial Security checks for each two dollars you earn over a certain threshold that changes every year. The 2022 threshold is $19,560. So, to give a really simple ex ample, if Hank is working and plans to make $29,560 in 2022, then $5,000 must be withheld from his Social Security checks in 2022. ($29,560 minus $19,560 equals $10,000 divided by two equals $5,000.)
Q: I’ve heard that if you take ear ly retirement benefits and then take a job and have those benefits with held, once you reach full retirement age, all those withheld benefits are repaid to you. Sounds like a great deal!

It’s a good idea to determine the reasons you have considered moving. Maybe the number one reason is to have your children get into and attend a better school system. Or is it the local income taxes or the lack of deductions being in a rental? Possibly needing more space? Although rates are high er, you can always refinance figuring they will trend lower over the next few years. Those with higher incomes may need the deductions. If in a rental is putting any excess money in the stock market your most advantageous choice at the moment? Possibly not with the way the market is reacting. It isn’t an easy decision to make.

Maybe you should consider buying a smaller home and have 1 less bedroom and 1 less bathroom and expand your search to more towns. This may not be your last move in the future, but becoming a homeowner and gaining the confi dence and security of ownership is a phenomenal feeling. The sweet spot is a balance of a number of variables and with the proper assistance you can determine your next move.

Jupiter has always been one of my favorites because it’s a planet that appears to change fairly quickly. Here’s a world that’s 11 times the diameter of the Earth, yet it rotates on its axis once only every 10 hours or so. This means that its Earth-facing side changes com pletely in just five hours and, with patience, early evening skywatchers with a small telescope can easily watch its pastel cloud bands and, sometimes, its Great Red Spot spin in and out of view in just one long night of stargazing.
“Meanwhile, did you notice the dog stopped barking?” I asked.

“He’s only 10 weeks,” said my hus band. “He’s not old enough to drive.”
“How do you figure?” he said.
This distant world, which is always beautiful to view through a small tele scope, will be especially impressive during September and October and will remain visible well into early next year.
“Never mind,” I said. “Whatever it is, he seems very insistent about it. Maybe he’s telling us a storm is coming.”

um to learn when they’ll be hosting a free “star party” so you can get a closeup look at this exciting giant planet.
Autumn and winter this year should offer an exciting time for skywatchers since several neighboring planets are now preparing to strut their celestial stuff.This week, anyone stepping outdoors after dark will see the bright planet Saturn shining high in the south-south east sky. It’ll be visible during evening hours through late November when it vanishes behind the western horizon until next summer, and will provide those with a small backyard telescope a close-up view of its remarkably beauti ful ring system.
The Return of Jupiter!
“He could be trying to warn us of an intruder,” I said.
“Well, that would make one of us,” said my husband. “You know, the dog is a genius, he speaks an exotic language and he likes company. He sounds like a

remaining visible all night long), it’s also when it lies closest to us and, there fore, appears larger and brighter than at any other time in its orbit.
“I think we should pay attention. The vet said our dog is a genius.”
Perhaps the most enjoyable part of watching this planet is keeping up with the antics of its four largest moons. These are known as the Galilean sat ellites -- Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto -- because it was the Italian astronomer Galileo who discovered them and their motions some four centuries ago. These appear to dance around the planet and change their positions from night to night -- some times even from hour to hour!
“Then why can’t he tell how bad he smells?” he asked.

“No,” I replied. “But dogs have sharper senses than we do.”
“He has to go out?” suggested my husband.“No,he was just out.”
By early December, the red planet Mars will become a stunning sight in our nighttime sky as it reaches its near est point to the Earth. Around the end of that month, the brilliant planet Venus will begin making its appearance in the west at dusk, as it emerges from the glow of our sun to become the most bril liant object in our evening sky (other than the moon, of course).
