It was in March of 2020, right as the Covid-19 pandemic was picking up steam, when two brothers from Plainview decided to launch an online tutoring service. Mitchell and Zachary Meyer, two Plainview-Old Bethpage High School students, initially created Blast Off Tutoring as a way to complete community service hours for induction into the National Honors Society. “At the time, obviously there was no way for us to get our in-school hours for induction, so we had to think outside of the box to offer services to the community,” said Mitchell, now a senior at Plainview-Old Bethpage. “My brother and I had always done peer tutoring, so we worked it out with the NHS to put together a virtual tutoring platform to streamline the process.” With the help of his brother Zach, who had a background in web development, the duo formed Blastofftutoring.com. The online service was a way to provide students with free online tutoring sessions by their peers while giving community service opportunities for students looking to bolster their resumes. “As everyone knows, tutoring can be an expensive endeavor, and this online service offers free tutor-
ing sessions not just to school districts on Long Island, but to students all across the country,” said Mitchell. He said that last year was about getting the data sent out and getting the website up and fully operational. “Really, the beginning of this year was when we really got going, with services like virtual video chatting and whiteboard, and when a lot of students across the country joined the site.” According to his data, there are 412 total students on the website, with about half of them being tutors. Blast Off has tutors and students from all across the country joined on from Long Island to states like New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Florida, Texas, Michigan and Indiana. “On the site we have what’s called an inter-school platform and a national platform, where both tutors and students can connect from not just one school district, but from multiple school districts throughout the country,” said Mitchell. When students sign on to the website, they can connect with other students and tutors, and after each session, tutors will receive points for their community service hours as part of National Honors Society requirements.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Email: Editor@GCNews.com
Supports Chris Foresto
To the Editor: It’s no secret that our country is fractured. As we slowly emerge from the pandemic, we’re insecure about our future and politicians are using the opportunity to gain power. Unfortunately, this is playing out on both the large and small scale. In the face of that, how do we approach our upcoming school board elections? How do we select a candidate? I believe we first look for candidates that have a proven record of service to the community. I want to see a candidate who consistently puts in the time and effort to help our community, as opposed to jumping into the pond by seeking a valued elected position. Secondly, we want board members whose only agenda is to maintain and continue to improve the robust educational experience of our children. We have a fantastic school system, and as homeowners we know that serves us well. Despite insinuations that this is changing, our excellence is consistently confirmed – in fact we were recently rated #1 in Nassau County and #2 in NYS by Niche. Lastly, I believe that we need to look towards the integrity of our candidates.
Are they using half-truths? Is their main goal to improve our kids’ education? We must question inflammatory claims and see if they are bluster or fact. For these reasons, I am happy to able to vote for Chris Foresto. Chris is a successful radiologist whose devotion to the district is beyond question. He stood up as a community member as soon as he moved in and, based on his commitment and leadership, is currently the First Assistant Fire Chief of the Jericho Fire Department. He is the type of person who doesn’t wait to be asked, he looks for ways to help and jumps in. His goals are unquestionably focused on maintaining and improving education, including expanding STEAM offerings, improving communication with parents, expanding opportunities for our kids to explore their interests, and keeping our schools safe in light of such threats as Covid. Our school board serves an important role. We need leaders on it who can support our entire community and help us to improve and grow. I ask you to help our community by voting for Chris Foresto in our May 17th election. Allison Plesur

Return to excellence
To the Editor: My name is Robert Wozniak, and I am pleased to announce my candidacy for Trustee, Board of Education of the Jericho School District. This year, there is one vacancy, as the current incumbent will not seek reelection. I have been planning to seek election, and provided the required documents to be placed on the ballot, in January, 2022. The Board of Education (BOE) is a vital group of five elected officials, who serve for three-year terms on a voluntary basis. It is among the most important organizations that will have lasting impact on the future of the children who reside within the Jericho School District. With great passion, interest and dedication, I seek the privilege of leading the educational decisions that are of great importance to the community. A little about me. I am a resident of Jericho, currently for the past seven years and also, when I grew up and lived here for 22 years, some time ago. I am an alumnus of Cantiague Elementary School and of the Jericho High School. My beloved wife, Alessandra, and I have twin ten year-old daughters, also attending Cantiague Elementary School. They will be in the Graduating Class of 2030! I am a graduate of the Fred DeMatteis School of Engineering and Applied Science at Hofstra University, a licensed professional engineer in New York State and am employed as a project manager at PSEG Long Island. I am a member and Ex-Captain of the Jericho Fire Department at Trident Engine Company #3 at Station 2, near Cantiague Elementary School. My mission statement is simply this: Return to Academic Excellence! The Jericho School District had been among the best of the United States. By any measure Jericho is an exceptional school district. Jericho is a most desirable community, most highly regarded by many families from abroad and from diverse backgrounds. Prospective residents seek housing in the community to have the privilege of educating their children in the Jericho School District. They pay top dollar in property and taxes. For nearly five years I have regularly attended monthly meetings of the BOE. I have spoken to the Board and have submitted written comments at
numerous meetings. The subjects have been varied and include some that no one has been speaking about but which are no less important. One subject that I have spoken about is high school ranking. The most anticipated and what many educators consider as the Gold Standard is the annual US News Best High Schools report. The U.S. News Best High Schools rankings include data on nearly 24,000 public high schools in 50 states and the District of Columbia. Nearly 18,000 schools were ranked on six categories based on their performance on state assessments and how well they prepare students for college. Residents should be aware that in 2021, Jericho High School was ranked 147 nationally and 15 in New York State. This has been the lowest rank since at least when I first noted to the Board that the ranking in 2017 was 67 nationally and 11 in New York State. Following this steady decline, for 2022 US News has ranked Jericho High School 109 nationally and 13 in New York State. While this improvement can certainly be attributed to seating of two new Board members last year, I hope to join the Board and work to further improve the ranking. There are other issues that the voters should be aware of and which I will speak of in subsequent notices: Substandard score by US News in college preparation. Overburdened students taking too many AP courses. Comprehensive Sexuality Health Education laws for K-12 that are in the education committee of the New York State Legislature. Curriculums that do not contain metrics to determine effectiveness. An acceptance of the administration of Tier 2 college goal-setting, not just Tier 1. Being the eyes, ears and voice of parents. The trustees of the Board of Education need to be more involved in its mission, and I will strive to bring us together. Last year, two new trustees who share my values were elected. I hope to join them to help bring this once great district back to its rightful glory. For this reason, I seek your vote and support. Please contact me at WozForBOE@ gmail.com.

Town and Police officials gather to launch a ‘Blue Ribbon’ campaign in support of men and women in blue for Police Appreciation Week. Officials tied ribbons to lamp posts and trees at the Brian Moore Memorial at Plainedge Park in honor of the fallen NYPD detective, who was murdered while on duty in 2015.
The Town of Oyster Bay recently joined with police officials to encourage residents to support the ‘Back the Blue’ ribbon campaign in recognition of Police Appreciation Week, a national recognition celebration in honor of men and women in blue. National Police Week, which runs in mid-May, honors law enforcement officers who service to protect the safety of our communities, as well as those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. The Supervisor and Town officials were joined by representatives from the Nassau County PBA, including President Tommy Shevlin, Corresponding Secretary John Paterson and Sergeant at Arms Frank Arcuri; from the Superior Officers Association, 1st Vice President Edward Junior Perkins and Treasurer Thomas Iervese; and from the Detectives Association Vice President Chris Muchow.
“The Town’s Blue Ribbon campaign encourages residents to show their support for men and women in blue by decorating their homes, businesses, storefronts or trees with blue ribbon,” said Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino. “This important message shows members of our police force that we are here for them, we thank them, and we appreciate them.” “It’s thanks to the men and women in blue that we enjoy the quality of life that we do. When you dial 911, they leave their homes and their families to protect ours,” added Town Councilwoman Vicki Walsh. Any residents who would like to receive a complimentary strand of blue ribbon from the Town of Oyster Bay can contact the Town through its website, www.OysterBayTown. com, via Facebook messenger, or by calling (516) 624-6380.

Victoria Waqar, a fourth grader at the Charles Campagne Elementary School, is a proud student after finding out the news that she won the Town of Oyster Bay’s Environmental Poster contest. Her submission entitled “The Ocean is not a Trash Can,” depicted a giant trash can with the ocean-life inside of it, along with non biodegradable objects like plastic bottles, bags and diapers strewn alongside. The poster contest was held to celebrate Earth Day, which was took place on April 22. “She was walking around with a smile all day and was very proud of her accomplishment,” said Lorraine Marcis, a Science Enrichment teacher at the school. “These types of school-related activities like poster contests are part of the district’s 21st century learning program, and help to broaden students horizons as well as make them well-rounded learners.” Marcis, who is also the 21st-century learning program coordinator, said that the initiative is part of student-related activities to help them enhance their learning skills and to help them create ideas on their own. “This year the 4th graders participated in the poster contest and they were responsible for coming up with all of the criteria on their own time. They came up with the concept, the design and everything else that was required to put the posters together.” The 21st century program helps students to attain points over the span of their scholastic career, from the elementary school level all the way up until high school graduation. Marcis said the point system awards students a total of fifty points during 4th and 5th grade, a hundred points at JFK Middle School and hundred points in their high school campaigns. “After attaining a certain number of points in the program, the students are eligible to receive a certificate at the grad-

In the past, students had also received a small scholarship to college.” She said the most rewarding aspect is that students feel better about themselves after participating in the activities and that it helps them become more well rounded learners into the future. TOB Supervisor Joseph Saladino and Town Councilwoman Vicki Walsh named Victoria as one of the top three winners in the town’s poster contest, “How Plastic Pollution Harms our Waterways.” The Town, in partnership with Friends of the Bay and The WaterFront Center, held the poster contest to raise awareness of environmentally sensitive issues and how they impact Mother Nature and the local community.

Hicksville restaurant Levittown Chamber honors receives Empire Award Hunter Business School
Peri-Peri GUYS owner & founder Hafeez Raja (left) accepts the Empire Award from State Senator Kevin Thomas. Photo courtesy Office of Senator Thomas A Hicksville restaurant has won the New York State Empire Business Award in recognition of its contributions and dedication to the community and New York State. State Senator Kevin Thomas presented the founder of Peri-Peri GUYS restaurant in Delco Plaza with the New York State Empire Award, which honors innovative local businesses that have made a significant impact on their communities. Founder Hafeez Raja, a Garden City resident who hails from Glasgow, Scotland, established Peri-Peri GUYS in 2020 with the goal of bringing one of his favorite hometown dishes to the US. The restaurant’s famous peri-peri sauce is made from African bird’s eye chili
peppers which, while wildly popular across South Africa and Europe, are uncommon here in the states. In addition to his passion for periperi, Hafeez says giving back to his community is his top priority. Peri-Peri GUYS generously donated food to community groups during the peak of the pandemic. The restaurant also participated in Long Island’s first-ever Halal Restaurant Week. Senator Kevin Thomas said, “PeriPeri GUYS is a unique and innovative local business that is dedicated to giving back. Per-Peri GUYS has truly made a difference in our Long Island community, and I was honored to present Hafeez with the Empire Award.”
The Levittown Chamber of Commerce celebrated Hunter Business School who celebrated 50 years in business. Congratulations to Jay Fund, owner of Hunter Business School along with his team Ray Martinez, director of Hunter, Bridget Headley, director of admissions, and Marc Herschmann from Admissions. Hunter Business School offers vocational programs for business, health care, and technology. Hunter is located at 3601 Hempstead Turnpike in Levittown. Photo by Tara Cassano.

Going Places: Post-pandemic Travelers Go In Search Of Wellness, Adventure, Engagement BY KAREN RUBIN TRAVEL FEATURES SYNDICATE GOINGPLACESFARANDNEAR.COM Wellness travel, a booming trend before the coronavirus pandemic, continues to grow with the increased focus on health, staying well and, after the experience with the coronavirus pandemic , the increased need for to be revitalized, restored, rejuvenated physically, emotionally, and mentally. Here are some highlights of wellness travel trends from the recent Global Wellness Summit (some that will surprise!) which is organized by the Global Wellness Institute:
Post-Pandemic Travelers Seek Adventure, Engagement
“Intention” is the theme for travel in 2022, New York Times travel columnist Elaine Glusac, reports. Social indicators such as the “Great Resignation,” record retirements and global nomadism reveal profound commitments to work/life balance and personal growth and happiness. And the travel industry is accommodating with new programs to intrigue and satisfy these ”intentional” travelers with the invitation: Seekers, welcome. “New travel experiences tap into a sense of purpose, a desire to grow creatively and intellectually and flourish in new environments. Nature as a healer and a source of awe remains primary, whether at a rooftop yoga class or trekking the forthcoming Trans Bhutan Trail,” she states. “Seekers will be exploring the wisdom of the ancients in Indigenous travel experiences; learning to grow their own food; expressing their creativity in art classes; and giving back

Going Places: Post-pandemic Travelers Continued from previous page suddenly making the pursuit of wellness accessible, affordable and inclusive. Communal bathing that hearkens back to European and Asian bathing cultures is inspiring an urban bathhouse renaissance around the globe. Just a few examples: Austria’s Therme Group, which already attracts around 3.4 million visitors a year to its sites in Europe, is now investing heavily in North America; Italian wellness company QC Terme will open its next urban bathhouse on New York’s Governor’s Island; and a Finnish-inspired Nordic bathing spa opened in early 2022 in Toronto. Additionally, sauna bathing (and communal sweating) is becoming more popular and playful—it’s less about being serious and silent and more about communal joy! Large event saunas have been opening outside of European sauna “hot spots,” with cities like Las Vegas hosting high-octane “Sauna Aufguss” performances and London night spots offering private rooftop saunas adjacent to the rooftop bar. New public playgrounds that merge nature and art with wellness are transforming cityscapes—with new manmade beachfronts, scenic boardwalks, pop-up wellness classes, and even water sports becoming available in very unexpected places: like New York, Paris, London, Sydney, Madrid, and Tokyo.

Like Finding Money You Didn’t Know You Had BY MARY HUNT You know the feeling when you reach into the pocket of a coat or pants you haven’t worn for a while and pull out a $20 bill? What would it feel like if you pulled out hundreds of dollars? And what if you found money like that month after month? It’s not magic; it can be done. Pin holes in your financial life can turn into massive money-gushers. Patching these holes is the key to improving your income. The problem is that it’s easy to ignore the tiny cracks. We’re busy! There’s the mortgage or rent, car payment, credit cards, insurance, college savings, carpools, vacation plans, retirement accounts, work benefits, kids, dog, guinea pig. So, the little stuff happens without
our noticing. We think: -- What’s the harm in picking up dinner from the drive-thru again? Our lives are so busy, and we have to eat. -- Why go to the trouble of scoping out the sales before I hit the supermarket? My time is valuable. I’ll dash in, buy what looks good, and the kids will eat. -- Why pay more than the minimum payment this month? It won’t make that much difference in the long run, and besides, I need to start Christmas shopping. -- Forget generics; they’re inferior to the brand name in every way, and for sure not at all reliable. Those kinds of small, seemingly innocuous everyday financial decisions that pop up regularly can end up costing
thousands of dollars a year. Consider the following: It now costs at least $40 to feed a family of five at any fast food drive-thru. The food will be marginal in both taste and nutrition. You could prepare a much tastier and more nutritious meal at home for $20. Easy. Do the math. If you get fast food twice a week, you’re letting $2,080 leak out of your life (52 x $40 = $2,080) every year. If you are diligent to buy your supermarket food items only when they are on sale (don’t worry, everything goes on sale in a typical supermarket in a 12week rotation), you’ll cut your grocery tab by at least 50%! The difference between full price and sale price is stunContinued on page 5
wildlife habitat located near Genoa, Nevada, where the East and West Forks of the Carson River meet. It’s now a nature preserve and a working cattle operation, remaining true to its sustainable agriculture practices. On any given day, guests can spot birds, deer and frogs and turtles. Just a few minutes’ drive further toward Genoa, connect with the outdoors through an impressive trail system for hikers and mountain bikers with treks along the Sierra foothills or to the top with views overlooking the valley and Lake Tahoe. After exploring the Eagle Ridge Loop, Sierra Canyon Trail and the Discovery Trail, stop by the Genoa Bar, the oldest thirst parlor in Nevada, for a cold beer or a specialty cocktail. Animal encounters: Animal therapy is a thing for a reason, it heals us. Carson Valley has a plethora of wild and tame animals that are ready to strike a pose for that perfect shot through varied tours. Local guides and expert photographers take visitors off-road for an up-close look at wild horses. These encounters offer a window into life in the Wild West – and the views aren’t bad either. For a tamer approach, youth and adults can go to Chappell Ranch to learn more about horsemanship and leadership on a working ranch. Through several outfitters and tour guides, activities to connect with animals are one of the area’s best-kept secrets. Other activities to get the heart racing include hang gliding (Soaring NV), air ballooning (Balloon Nevada). But for a totally relaxing experience, catch a sunrise or sunset from the natural hot springs at the Holiday Inn Club Vacations David Walley’s Resort, featuring five mineral spas heated by geothermal groundwater produced naturally from the Earth’s mantle.

Basking in the applause on Graduation Day BY CLAIRE LYNCH For years Carrie Underwood dreamed of getting her college degree but her path to graduation, like the path to her singing career, had a lot of twists and turns along the way. Carrie Marie Underwood was born on March 10, 1983, in Muskogee, Oklahoma, to Carole and Steve Underwood. She has two older sisters, Shanna and Stephanie, and was raised on her parents’ farm in the nearby rural town of Checotah. Her father worked in a paper mill and her mother taught elementary school. During her childhood, Underwood performed at Robbins Memorial Talent Show, and sang at her local church, First Free Will Baptist Church. She later sang for local events in Checotah, including Old Settler’s Day and the Lions Club. A local fan arranged for her to go to Nashville when she was 14 to audition for Capitol Records. In 1996, Capitol Records was preparing a contract for Underwood but canceled it when company management changed. Underwood later said, “I honestly think it’s a lot better that nothing came out of it now, because I wouldn’t have been ready then. Everything has a way of working out.” When Underwood attended Checotah High School she was an Honor Society member, a cheerleader, and she played basketball and softball. Underwood graduated from Checotah High School in 2001 as salutatorian. She chose not to pursue singing immediately after graduation. She said, “After high school, I pretty much gave up on the dream of singing. I had reached a point in my life where I had to be practical and prepare for my future in the ‘real world.’” In mid-2004, Underwood auditioned for “American Idol” in St. Louis, Missouri, singing Bonnie Raitt’s “I Can’t Make You Love Me.” She did a great job - it was pretty obvious that she’d make it through to the show. After she sang “Could’ve Been” by Tiffany on the top 12 girls night, judge Simon Cowell
commented that she would be one of the favorites to win the competition. Underwood won season 4 of the show in May 2005, defeating runner-up Bo Bice. In the same year Underwood had success with her debut single, “Inside Your Heaven,” making her the first country music artist to hit #1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart. Then album “Some Hearts” was released. Carrie Underwood won the show while she was a college student. In fact, she was only three credits away from earning her degree when she withdrew to participate in Season 4 of “American Idol.” She was attending Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, Oklahoma at that time. Her time on the show took up much of 2005. Then the next year she was able to graduate on May 6, 2006. At first she wasn’t sure if she would graduate on time because she was three credits short but her university ended up giving her those three credits from being a contestant on “American Idol.” It was life experience - and considered to be a college internship. Graduating magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Mass Communications with an emphasis in Journalism, Underwood’s goal was to work in TV news. She spent part of one summer as a page for Oklahoma State Rep. Bobby Frame. She’s waited tables at a pizzeria, worked at a zoo and at a veterinary clinic. For two summers she performed in Northeastern State University’s Downtown Country show in Tahlequah. She competed in numerous beauty pageants at the university and was selected as Miss NSU runner-up in 2004. Underwood appeared on “How I Met Your Mother” in March 2010. She played the role of Tiffany, a medical sales rep who dates Ted. This was the second highest rated episode for season five. Underwood made her film debut in “Soul Surfer” in April 2011 and she played Maria von Trapp in NBC’s “The

Sound of Music Live!,” a three-hour telecast aired on December 5, 2013. Underwood’s debut book, “Find Your Path,” was released in 2020. It became a N.Y. Times best seller, debuting at #2 on the How-To and Miscellaneous list. Underwood began dating NHL player Mike Fisher after meeting at one of her concerts in late 2008. Engaged in December 2009, the couple married at The Ritz-Carlton Lodge in Greensboro, Georgia, on July 10, 2010, with more than 250 people attending their ceremony. Their son, Isaiah Michael, was born in 2015 and in 2019, their second son, Jacob Bryan, was born. Always an animal lover, today Underwood and her husband have two dogs, Penny and Zero, at home on their Nashville farm. Husband Mike gave her two cows as a Christmas present two years ago - at her request. She says cows are her favorite animal because she grew up with them. She adds, “They just have such personalities.” About graduating from college Carrie Underwood said, “I was terrified of graduating college and not knowing

what I was going to do. I saw the auditions for Idol and thought, ‘Why not?’ I always liked to sing. You know when they asked, ‘Are you the next American Idol?’ I said yes, but I didn’t mean it.” Other famous people have spoken about what college graduation really means: “The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you.” - B.B. King “Your certification is in your degree. You may think of it as the ticket to the good life. Let me ask you to think of an alternative. Think of it as your ticket to change the world.” - Tom Brokaw “We do not need magic to change the world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already: we have the power to imagine better.” - JK Rowling “Take pride in how far you’ve come. Have faith in how far you can go. But don’t forget to enjoy the journey.” Michael Josephson “If you can imagine it, you can achieve it; if you can dream it, you can become it.” - William Arthur Ward

Don’t Blame the Government -- Blame Yourself BY TOM MARGENAU
Sometimes people will write to me complaining that the government, specifically the Social Security Administration, has messed up and cheated them out of benefits they might have been due. But many times, the fault (to trivialize a famous line from Shakespeare’s play, “Julius Caesar”) is not in our government, but in ourselves. Here are some examples of what I mean. Q: I am 72 years old. I have been getting my own reduced Social Security retirement since age 62. I have chronic arthritis and fibromyalgia and I just learned I could have been getting higher disability benefits all these years. So, I called Social Security about this, and they said it’s too late! What? Why didn’t someone from Social Security ever tell me about this? They messed up and they owe me 10 years’ worth of disability benefits. A: I’m going to be rather blunt with you. They didn’t mess up; you did. It’s your job to educate yourself about the benefits you might be due from Social Security. I know if I had the kinds of problems you described, I would have said to myself: “I wonder if I might be eligible for disability benefits.” And then I would have checked into that. And I’m not sure how things work today, but I know that 10 years ago, the Social Security retirement application had a question on it that essentially asked something like this: “Are you unable to work because of a disabling condition?” You must have answered that question “No,” because a “Yes” answer would have led you down the path to a claim for Social Security disability benefits. Q: I am 62 years old. My husband, to whom I’ve been married for 10 years now, is also 62. He plans to wait until he is 70 to file for Social Security. I was married to another man for about 25 years. We ran a small business together. Our accountant and tax preparer advised us to put all the earnings from the business in my husband’s name, so that’s what we did. I have almost no earnings on my Social Security record. My ex-husband recently died. I called Social Security to see about getting widow’s benefits on his record. They said I can’t because I remarried before the age of 60. Why didn’t the government ever tell me this? If they can’t give me widow’s benefits, why can’t they give me my share of the earnings from the business? How can the government be so heartless to deny me what’s rightfully mine? A: Just like the woman who asked the first question, you are trying to blame the government for mistakes that you made. Or to be more precise, for mistakes you and your former husband and your accountant made. Let’s start out with your complaint that no one from Social Security ever
told you that if you remarry before age 60, you lose your potential eligibility for benefits from your first husband’s Social Security account. Did you expect that a Social Security representative would be stationed at every marriage license bureau in the country ready to advise remarrying widows about the age 60 rule? If I were a woman considering a second marriage, and if I were concerned about Social Security benefits from a former husband’s record, I would have checked into this. For example, a simple Google search using the keywords “remarriage” and “Social Security” turns up all kinds of information from the Social Security Administration and other sources that would have answered all your questions. And as far as the little gimmick your accountant pulled by putting all the earnings on your husband’s Social Security record, once again, I think you do have to accept some responsibility for what happened. For example, if I were a woman involved in a business with my husband, and my tax preparer said, “Let’s give all the earnings and credit for the business to your husband,” I would have said, “Wait a minute. Does that really make sense?” But believe me, I know that’s easier said than done. Over the years, I have heard from hundreds, if not thousands, of moms in a “mom and pop” business who are in the same boat as you. They let themselves get talked into going along with this male-oriented tax-filing scheme. As I have written in many past columns about this issue (and that I simply don’t have the space to cover in today’s column), this practice can work out for couples who stay married forever and who both live well into their retirement years. It has to do with the combination of retirement benefits payable to the husband and spousal benefits payable to the wife. But that tax-filing practice generally does not work out for women who get divorced or for widows who remarry before the age of 60. You also wondered why the Social Security Administration simply can’t give you your share of earnings from the business. That’s not how it works. As I said, you (but probably mostly your accountant and your first husband) made the decision a long time ago to give all the business earnings to your husband. By law, the SSA must go along with how things were reported on your tax returns. The only bit of solace I can give you is this: If your second marriage ends (by death or divorce), then you would be able to go back and claim widow’s benefits on your first husband’s Social Security record. Q: I am 62 years old and currently unmarried. I have always worked in low-paying jobs and my Social Security benefit will only be about $1,200 per month. I was married to a very
wealthy man, but we divorced many years ago. We got the divorce just two weeks shy of our 10th anniversary. The Social Security rep I talked to said because we were not married for 10 years, I can’t get any of his Social Security. Why was I never told about this before? The government has ripped me off! A: Do you think a Social Security representative should be stationed at every divorce court in this country ready to tell women to stay married for 10 years in order to be eligible for benefits from the ex? I understand that at the time you divorced this guy, Social Security was
probably the furthest thing from your mind. Still, the ball was in your court to educate yourself about this. With just a little bit of effort, you could have easily learned about the 10-year duration of marriage rule. (And by the way, for other readers who might be wondering, that 10-year rule only applies in cases involving divorced spousal benefits.) If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has a book with all the answers. 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 outlets. COPYRIGHT 2022 CREATORS.COM

Which is better, buying a co-op or a condo? BY PHILIP A. RAICES As prices continue to escalate in the hottest market on record, interest rates have increased. A little explanation is necessary at this point to make everyone know the gravity of our financial situation. The most recent increase last week was 1/2% (1/4 point on 3.16.22) by Jerome Powell, our Fed Chair. A while back he said that inflation would be transitory as we know how that prediction went. He should have started the increases in 2021 with 1/8 of a point, anticipating the future with the supply chain the way it was morphing into an extremely challenging time. I am quite surprised that the inflation factor was not taken seriously enough; as I mentioned in last week’s column, it is definitely not 8%, when you add into the CPI, food and energy, but closer to 18%. Just look at your food, heating and gasoline bills which are up substantially. I remember getting gas out on the North Folk for $1.97 a gallon in 2019 prior to the Pandemic. Now it’s $4.24$4.49. Maybe they should open up the Alaska pipeline right now, to ease the price for those who can least afford it. What is occurring right now may just really slow down our economy, adding $225,000,000,000 to our already bloated national debt. The U.S. Government owes 22.3 trillion; but actually if you add up all the IOU’s it’s probably much, much higher. Now we can discuss whether purchasing a co-op or a condo is a better path to pursue. If you have been priced out of the home market then either one will work. However, you need to sit down and think which style will
be the better investment over the long run. The only answer from my perspective is a condo, which is usually a luxury entity, with a 24/7 doorman, indoor parking, sometimes an exercise room and always an elevator. If you have the budget to purchase and possibly plan to keep it as an investment for the future when you are ready to buy a single or multi-family home. However the differential between a 1 Bedroom and 1 bath co-op and a 1 bedroom 1.5 bath condo (standard on condos) is approximately from $100,000-$300,000, depending on what building you are considering comparing it to. A 1 bedroom condo usually has 1.5 baths as the co-op has only 1 bath. Condos are considered real property and pay monthly common charges plus real estate taxes separately. One pays monthly maintenance fees when owning a co-op, which includes real estate taxes, daily maintenance in and around the building, salaries of the super and porters, payment of principle and interest on the underlying mortgage on the building and land. One also has stock ownership attached to it. There could be a flip tax and other expenses associated with a coop. However, as long as the financials of the cooperative building are solid you should have no problem eventually selling. It is imperative for you and your attorney to check the current and last year’s financials, which
will reveal the stability of the building e.g. how much cash is in the working capital account, which is used to pay daily bills, as well as the reserve fund too. You can also determine if there are any capital improvements that are noted currently or in the immediate future in the minutes that are taken when there is a board or building meeting. You or your attorney has the right to review them in the management’s office. This can determine an assessment or an increase in monthly maintenance and whether or not it is a short term obligation or much longer. Also, checking the offering plan with all the up to date amendments will also be very helpful. For the most part your co-op is somewhat restricted in renting it out after you move on to a home. However, a condo has very little restrictions, but there may be some rules that you would have to abide by. As you can see there are differences between co-ops and condos. However, your financial situation will determine which one is not only affordable, but which one will provide you the best return in the long run.

Like Finding Money You Didn’t Know You Had Continued from page 2 ning when everything in your cart is on sale. It will take you 10 years and cost you an additional $10,000 in interest alone on a $10,000 credit card balance if you pay only the minimum amount required. See how easy it is for slow leaks to turn into big money blowouts? Just imagine those little leaks draining money from your bank day after day, month after month. Insisting on brand loyalty is another common money leak. Sure, we all have our brand favorites, but opting to pay double for things that don’t really matter adds up to one big waste of money. You can plug this money leak by opting for the store or generic brand whenever it makes absolutely no difference. Flour, sugar, salt, spices, milk, eggs,
meat -- all of these items must adhere to the same federal standards regardless of brand. Pain relievers like Advil and Aleve all have generic alternatives that share identical ingredients for half the price. Read the labels to compare. And when a cheaper alternative does not make the grade, return it for an exchange or refund. Generic or store-brand clones are at least 25% cheaper than their namebrand equivalents. But don’t assume anything. Always check and compare. When it comes to your finances, those seemingly undetectable cracks in your checking account, credit card debt, food tab and other household expenses can seriously sideline your dreams.

A Cosmic Coverup! BY DENNIS MAMMANA Week of May 8-14, 2022 I just love eclipses. Not only are they fun to watch, but an eclipse is one of the few cosmic phenomena where we can see the movement of our heavens. If you’re as intrigued by these celestial events as I am, then you must plan to be outdoors on Sunday evening, May 15. Oh, you’ve already got other plans, you say? Break ‘em! You definitely won’t want to miss this dramatic primetime total lunar eclipse! The cosmic coverup begins officially at 7:27 p.m. PDT (10:27 p.m. EDT), as the moon’s eastern edge slips gradually into the Earth’s dark inner shadow -- the umbra. Stargazers in most of North America will see the moon fairly high up in the southeastern sky at that time; some on the North American West Coast, however, may see the moon rising over the horizon with the show already in progress. For the next hour or so, the moon will dim as it enters deeper into our planet’s umbra until 8:29 p.m. PDT (11:29 p.m. EDT) when it becomes completely eclipsed. During totality, the eclipsed moon may take on a strange coppery hue. This color occurs because sunlight passing through our atmosphere is reddened and bent inward toward the darkened surface of the moon. Just how red and
dark it appears depends on the clarity of our planet’s atmosphere at the time sunlight passes through it. The totally eclipsed moon can appear almost any color from bright orange to dark brown -- or be completely invisible. Unlike some other celestial events, you can watch the eclipse from under the bright lights of a city, but for a truly dramatic view, head out under dark rural skies. Here, during totality, you’ll see the moon’s ruddy orb suspended in front of the faint stars of the constellation Libra, the scales, and hanging just above the bright reddish-orange star Antares. Totality continues until 9:53 p.m. PDT (12:23 a.m. EDT on May 16), when the eastern edge of the moon emerges into bright sunlight once again. Now, the Earth’s umbral shadow will continue to retreat westward across the moon’s face, leaving it completely at 10:55 p.m. PDT (1:55 a.m. EDT). We don’t see lunar eclipses frequently because the celestial geometry must be just right for the Earth’s shadow to fall onto the moon. Since the moon’s orbit is tipped about five degrees to the Earth-sun plane, the moon only occasionally passes through our planet’s shadow. That’s why we don’t experience a lunar eclipse during every full moon -- or a solar eclipse during every new moon. Unlike an eclipse of the sun, a lunar eclipse is perfectly safe to view without
protective filters. All you need is your eyes, but if you have binoculars or a small telescope, you’ll find that viewing through these may be even more enjoyable. To learn more details about this eclipse, and even where you can watch it online, visit timeanddate.com and click on “Lunar Eclipse Countdown”. And to find groups in your area that
might be hosting a free lunar-eclipse telescope viewing party, check with your local planetarium, college or amateur astronomy club. Visit go-astronomy.com and click on the “Clubs & Orgs” tab. Visit Dennis Mammana at dennismammana.com. COPYRIGHT 2022 CREATORS.COM
L O S T I N S U B U R B I A
Feeling Sheepish BY TRACY BECKERMAN
“Did you know that you can burn FIVE THOUSAND calories a day shearing sheep?!” I exclaimed to my husband. “If I did that, I could eat anything I want.” He gave me the look he always gives me when I say something truly off-thewall and he debates committing me to a psychiatric ward for a 24-hour hold. “And how many sheep do you think you could keep in the apartment?” he said. “They won’t be my sheep,” I said. “I would shear other people’s sheep. And I’ll get a sheep shearing shed.” It was, I understood, a crazy idea, mostly because I had never sheared a sheep in my life, and also because I didn’t own sheep shears or have a sheep shearing shed. Still, I was pretty sure I’d be a good sheep shearer because I already knew how to cut my own bangs. As exciting as it sounded, though, I
didn’t really want to shear sheep. What I wanted was a way to burn a lot of calories, because what I really wanted was... A doughnut. “If I shear some sheep I can have a doughnut,” I said to my husband. “I have no idea how your mind works,” he said. “It’s actually kind of scary sometimes.” “Shearing sheep would counteract the points I would get if I ate a doughnut.” I had started a weight loss program based on points. Doughnuts, I assumed, had way too many points to fit in my plan. That’s where the sheep came in. I pulled out my handy-dandy weight loss app to look up the actual number of points in a doughnut. “WHAAAT?” I bellowed. “WHAT?!” said my husband, looking alarmed. “A doughnut is ELEVEN points,” I exclaimed. “That’s like half my points
for the day.” I calculated quickly in my head. “I would have to shear a whole shebang of sheep to have a doughnut.” I was bereft. Since it seemed unlikely that I would be shearing any sheep that day, I needed to find something else to satisfy that craving. I thought maybe just one doughnut hole would do the trick. “WHAAAT?” I bellowed. “WHAT?!” said my husband, looking alarmed. “A doughnut hole is THREE points. Just one hole. Are you kidding me?” I’d still have to shear 1,000 sheep to work that off. At this point, it seemed unlikely that I would be able to even have a doughnut hole. Then I realized that maybe it wasn’t about the doughnut. Maybe I was just craving something sweet. I could have an apple because apples had zero points. But I knew in my moment of doughnut desperation that an apple
just wasn’t going to cut it. I thought for a moment about what else I could have that would be sweet and small and totally not on my plan but wouldn’t blow a whole day of points. “I bet I could have some M&Ms!” I said brightly. I quickly got out my weight loss app once again and looked it up. “So, can you have some M&Ms?” said my husband, now completely vested in my sugar quest. I shook my head sadly. “I can have an M.” Tracy Beckerman is the author of the Amazon Bestseller “Barking at the Moon: A Story of Life, Love, and Kibble,” available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble online!

MacArthur HS students shine in gymnastics
General Douglas MacArthur High School students Nicholas Marmo and Sean Purcell will compete at the national level in gymnastics. Photos courtesy of Levittown Public Schools Sean Purcell and Nicholas Marmo, ninth graders at General Douglas MacArthur High School in the Levittown Public School District, have enjoyed a successful season as gymnasts and will perform on a national level. Sean and Nicholas have practiced gymnastics since they were young. Together, they competed on a local gym’s team for three years. They recently surpassed the competition at the local, state and region-
al level to make it to the Men’s Eastern National Championships in Michigan to face off against gymnasts across eastern United States. They hope to continue gymnastics in college. Sean described the unique bond him and Nicholas have formed over the years: “In the gym, we compete against each other, but we still root for each other later on,” he said.
Armed Forces Appreciation Day The Town of Oyster Bay has announced that veterans and active United States military personnel are invited to the Town of Oyster Bay’s Armed Forces Appreciation Day Celebration slated for Friday, May 20, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at SyossetWoodbury Community Park, located at 7800 Jericho Turnpike in Woodbury. This free event, open to all Town of Oyster Bay residents currently or formerly active, will include a BBQ and entertainment by the singing group American Bombshells. “The Town of Oyster Bay is committed to serving veterans and ensuring they have access to important benefits in which they are entitled to,” said Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino. “This is an important way of thanking our brave hometown heroes for protecting the freedoms we enjoy each and every day as Americans.”
President Harry S. Truman established Armed Forces Appreciation Day in 1950 as a day to pay special tribute to the men and women of the United States Armed Forces. This single holiday provides an opportunity for citizens to come together and thank our military members for their patriotic service in support of our country. The Town’s celebration includes a patriotic musical salute to our hometown heroes, including a special performance by the American Bombshells, and a free barbecue. To accommodate as many hometown heroes as possible, veterans and active military personnel are invited to bring one guest. There is no charge to attend and a rain date is scheduled for Friday, May 27. To RSVP, please call the Town of Oyster Bay at (516) 797-4121.
Town to host Special Olympics Spring Games The Town of Oyster Bay will again host the prestigious Special Olympics Spring Games in partnership with Special Olympics New York. Held at the Farmingdale Athletic Complex on Saturday, May 21, the games will include a full-day of competitive track and field events for over 500 athletes supported by more than 300 coaches. These athletes — children and adults with intellectual disabilities — have dedicated months to training for an Olympic-style competition that will culminate with the contest during these Spring Games. “Special Olympics are an opportunity to showcase the hard work, dedication, talents, and tremendous athletic achievements of athletes, while also paving the way to eliminate social barriers and stereotypes differently-abled individuals face,” said Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino. “The Town of Oyster Bay is very proud to be a partner with Special Olympics New York and the Farmingdale School District in making this important event a reality. I hope you’ll join us in witnessing the joy, courage, and determination of these inspirational athletes.” “Special Olympics New York provides year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of
Olympic-style sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, providing them a continuing opportunity to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, make friends, and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills, and friendship with their families,” Diane Colonna, vice president, Downstate Operations Special Olympics, New York said. “We are honored that the Farmingdale School District will host our Spring Games and make a difference in the lives of these athletes.” The event will be held on Saturday, May 21, at the Farmingdale Athletic Complex at Howitt Middle School. For more information on how to get involved, visit the school’s website at www.farmingdaleschools.org. If you are eligible to participate in the games, visit www.specialolympics-ny.org to register. “This event would be impossible without the generosity of our sponsors, including Optimum, MSG Networks, and 7- Eleven, as well as the residents and volunteers who attend to cheer on these dedicated athletes. We hope to see you in the stands on May 21st to show your support for Special Olympics in our community. All are welcome!” Supervisor Saladino concluded.
Town launches bike safety poster contest The Town of Oyster Bay has launched a new poster contest on bike safety, open to fifth grade students in the Town of Oyster Bay. “Many residents have shared their concerns about bike safety here in the Town of Oyster Bay with us, as drivers and youngsters alike are often unsure of safe biking practices,” Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino said. “We launched this poster contest to begin increasing awareness of bike safety guidelines in our community, especially as we celebrate National Bike Month this May and spend more time in the outdoors as summer approaches.” To enter the contest, students must digitally design or draw a picture that illustrates safe bike riding. The poster must also include simple language about New York State Guidelines for bike safety, which are available online at https:// tinyurl.com/bikesafeny. The top three winning posters will be unveiled to the public during an official meeting of the Oyster Bay Town Board, showcased in winners’ hometowns, and featured in a town-wide newsletter. All entries will be
displayed in a “Digital Art Exhibit” on the Town of Oyster Bay’s website. “I encourage all 5th Graders in the Town to participate in this program, as it offers an opportunity to not only become more educated on the serious issue of bike safety, but to also learn more about town government and be recognized in their hometowns,” said Town Councilwoman Vicki Walsh. “The entries in our last poster contest were extremely creative and informative, and I look forward to seeing this year’s designs.” Submissions should be made on 18” x 24” size poster paper and emailed to postercontest@oysterbay-ny.gov. In their submission email, students are asked to please attach a high-resolution photo of their poster as a PDF, JPEG, OR PNG file, as well as a completed entry form, which is available online at oysterbaytown.com/bikesafety. The submission deadline is Tuesday, May 31 at 11:59 p.m., and winners will be announced during a meeting of the Oyster Bay Town Board on Tuesday, June 14.
