New Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and Councilwoman Michele Johnson announcing plans to remodel restroom and shower facilities at Town pools New Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and Councilwoman Michele Johnson today announced plans to remodel restroom and shower facilities at Town pools in time for the next summer season and showcased recent upgrades, including new 50x20 foot cantilever sunshades, umbrellas and picnic tables as well as new lounge and dining chairs. Town pools are open through Labor Day, and hours of operation were

recently extended by the Town Board to accommodate working families. Supervisor Saladino stated, “Town pools have become a backyard oasis for many young families and seniors. My administration is proud to have enhanced our facilities with new lounge chairs and sunshades, and we will move forward with plans to remodel restroom and shower facilities so next season is even more comfortable than this one.”

The Department of Public Works is currently in the planning stage for restroom and shower improvements at the Town’s four community pools. Renovations will include upgrading fixtures from stainless steel to porcelain, including toilets and sinks. New faucets, showers, partitions, piping and electrical work will be undertaken by Town employees. “As a mother with young children, I know how importSee page 6

On July 1st, Temple Or Elohim in Jericho welcomed new Rabbi Cassi Kail. Senior Rabbi Harvey Abramowitz will assume the role of Rabbi Emeritus on October 1st after serving his beloved congregation for 15 years with warmth and dedicated leadership. Originally from Brooklyn, Rabbi Kail has lead a growing and diverse synagogue of 150 families in the Utica area for the last 6 years. During her tenure, she developed many innovative programs to attract congregants of all ages, and to appeal to changing demographics. Through her leadership, she developed exciting programs to welcome and respond to the needs of interfaith congregants, and was widely recognized for her work in rejuvenating outreach and education programs for young children and adolescents. She created strong connections between the conservative and reform congregations in her community, and stressed the importance of developing strong relationships with other religious sects, as well as political leaders in the area. Rabbi Kail is regarded as a scholar in Torah study. During her time in Utica, she introduced a special prayer study Shabbat, and revitalized adult education to reflect current topics of interest and emphasized that learning occurs at all phases of life. Her Utica congregation has praised her talents, relevant sermons, enthusiasm, keen intellect, compassion and warmth. Her musical background has reinvigorated many of her Shabbat

worship services by interweaving music and song with Torah and scriptures. She obtained her Theological degree from Hebrew Union College, and has a Master’s Degree in Hebrew Literature. Her ability to build bridges between people of all ages, backgrounds and denominations is highly regarded, and Temple Or Elohim enthusiastically welcomes her as its new Rabbi. Temple Or Elohim is proud of its ever-growing congregation. It takes pride in its continued ability to respond to the community with wonderful programs and services while embracing its membership as a family. Temple Or Elohim hopes the community will join in welcoming Rabbi Kail at services throughout the year. The Temple’s doors are open to all.

Plainview author details area’s history in new book BY GARY SIMEONE

Plainview resident, Thomas Carr, has always had a strong interest in the area that he’s lived in for the past sixty years. On July 25th, Carr gave a presentation at the Plainview- Old Bethpage Public Library, detailing his new book, “Images of America: Plainview-Old Bethpage” which tells the intriguing story of two Long Island communities that share a 300 year old history. Carr gathered over 200 photographs for his book showing the once quaint farming communities of Plainview and old Bethpage and how the two towns came to share a school system, library, Fire Department and water district. Carr said that he wrote the book after recently retiring from a 43 year broadcasting career. “I’ve always had a love for history and after I retired, I decided to explore the history of my town,” said Carr. “I’ve always wondered what this area was like 100 to 200 years ago and how people lived their life back then.” He said that he researched different publishing houses and ended up sending a proposal to Arcadia Publishing, who agreed that a book about the history of Old Bethpage and Plainview was a worthy topic. The book details the first inhabitants of the area who were Native Americans and than onto the colonial settlers who changed the area into an agricultural community. It tells the story of how Plainview- Old Bethpage transformed from a small farming area to a vibrant suburban community. “In 1950 Plainview had a population of 1,115 and a single two room schoolhouse before the suburban population

exploded,” said Carr. “In a little over ten years the community added 7,950 homes, 30,000 people, 11 schools, numerous shopping centers, several houses of worship and a hospital.” Carr gathered the photos for his book from multiple sources including collections from the POB Library, the Nassau County Department of Parks, Recreation and museum’s, National archives, historical societies and private collections. “The Library does have a wonderful local history collection that contains old photographs, manuscripts and other material. It was very helpful but I still had to do a lot of research and try to find other resources for stories, photographs, maps and documents.” As far as what he wants for people to get out of his book, Carr said that he believes new and long time residents, young and old will discover facts about their hometown they didn’t know. He said that younger residents who only know Plainview as a modern community will enjoy seeing photos and reading about the farmers working the land where their houses stand today. “I’m sure they’ll be fascinated to learn about school life decades ago, where several grades shared one big classroom in the early part of the twentieth century and years later during the suburban explosion when there were often more than 40 children from just one grade in one classroom,” said Carr. Carr said that he has another book in the making about the lives of the people who once lived in the area that over 30,000 people call home. ‘Images of America: Plainview-Old Bethpage’ can be purchased through Friends of the Library at a price of $17.

There was a good turnout for the grand opening of the new ShopRite grocery store on July 25th. The 68,000 square foot facility located at 1675 Old Country Road, will serve as a retail anchor for the Country Pointe at Plainview condominium development which is set to open in November. Oyster Bay Town Supervisor, Joe Saladino, Town councilman, Louis Imbroto and Nassau County Legislator, Arnold Drucker attended the event as well as representatives from the Greenfield family who own ShopRite and representatives from the Beechwood Organization, which is heading up the Country Pointe project. Legislator Drucker, a lifelong resident of Plainview, said that he is overjoyed that Greenfield family decided to open a new store location in his hometown. “The Greenfield family is an institution in our commu-

nity and I’m elated to be part of this great investment,” said Drucker. “Our County is proud that the Greenfield’s have planted their roots here. This store is absolutely state of the art and will be a great service to our residents of Plainview and surrounding areas.” The new Shoprite will feature a kosher bakery, a specialized deli that serves kosher meat products and prepared food departments under the supervision of KOF-K Kosher Certification. Visitors to the store will find freshly baked products and seafood and meat departments that are stocked with daily deliveries. There is also a full service pharmacy on the premises as well as an in store dietician, who will be available for free, one on one consultations. “This site is the culmination of four generations of our family in the food business,” said John Greenfield, owner of four

National Merit Scholarship Plainview family helps awarded to Syosset student raise money for a good cause

Ben S. Rhee, a student at Syosset High School, has won a National Merit $2500 Scholarship. He plans to study medicine. This National Merit $2500 Scholarship is supported by National Merit Scholarship Corporation’s By the conclusion of the 2017 National Merit Scholarship Program, more than 7,500 Merit Scholarship awards, worth over $32 million, will have been offered to distinguished high school seniors for college undergraduate study. Two thousand five hundred of the awards, such as the one this student has won, are National Merit $2500 Scholarships for which all of the approximately 15,000 Finalists were considered. Winners

of these single-payment awards were named in every state, in numbers based on the state’s percentage of the national total of graduating high school seniors. Recipients of National Merit $2500 Scholarships were selected by a committee of college admission officers and high school counselors who appraised a substantial amount of information submitted by Finalists and their schools. Evaluated were each Finalist’s academic record, including difficulty level of subjects studied and grades earned, scores from two standardized tests, contributions and leadership in school and community activities, an essay written by the Finalist, and the recommendation written by a high school official.

This was the first year that five year old Micah Bennet was allowed to participate in the annual Damon Runyon 5k Race at Yankee stadium in the Bronx. He and his seven year old brother, Eytan, along with their father, Marc, participated in the race, which took place on July 15th, and raised over $5,000 for cancer research. The two brothers, both Elementary school students in Plainview, were part of a team called the Bluebirds in Pinstripes. The team, made up of various people from the Long Island area, raised over $16,000 and was the top fundraiser at the event. “We have been participating in this event for five years and it is really a great thing having a hundred percent of all the proceeds go to cancer research,” said Debra Bennet, mother of Eytan and Micah and Associate Rabbi at Temple Chaverim. Bennet said that her family got involved in the 5k event through a fami-

ly friend who had lost her best friend to cancer a few years ago. “My friend, Sharon Fraade, who is the leader of Bluebirds in Pinstripes, got us all involved in this thing five years ago. She came up with the name of our team after writing a poem about bluebirds after her friends death. She is a very inspirational person.” The significance of pinstripes in the name is attributable to the New York Yankees baseball team. The Damon Runyon 5k takes place each year in mid July and more than 1,000 people including runners, walkers, cancer survivors and their friends and family participate in the event. It’s the only run of its kind that uses Yankee Stadium as its course. Since it’s inception, the event has raised over $4.5 million for the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation.

THE VIEW FROM HERE

On Turning 65 BY BOB MORGAN, JR.

In a few days, I will be attaining the rather ripe old age of 65. Like it or not, I will be eligible for Medicare and more senior citizen discounts. A few thoughts on this rather dubious milestone. When I was younger, I thought that old people felt, well, old. But now that I am on the cusp of being included in the elderly group, I find that this really isn’t the case. Although there are some more than obvious signs of physical decline (to take one of many, my eyesight isn’t nearly as good as it was 40 years ago), overall I don’t feel much different than I have in recent years. While I can’t stay up until 2 and in the morning and then rally for work, as I could in my twenties, I don’t feel the need to pack it in early in the evening either. So far, thank God, I have been blessed with good health. As I mentioned a few months ago, I have gone on a major diet and that has increased my energy and also improved my sleep. I actually take fewer naps than I did five or ten years ago. I also don’t have any immediate plans to retire. I like what I do as an attorney and I like the opportunity to engage in political and community activities as well as to write this column. I guess the time to end my business career will come in the next few years, but I really would have to rethink how I spend my day. Working provides considerable structure in my life. I certainly don’t feel ready for a retirement community or the 4:30 blue plate dinner special. On the other hand, a colleague who retired a few years ago at age 64, an avid skier and golfer, had something of a point when he said that he would be able to enjoy his pastimes far better at his chosen retirement age than he ever would

ten years later. I’m not nearly as athletic as this fellow, but it does make sense to take advantage of retirement years. So I I’m not planning on working to the end. I don’t think you get smarter as you get older, but it is possible that you get wiser. At a minimum I feel like I am less excitable than I was in my younger day and significantly more patient, with more of an inclination to give people the benefit of the doubt. I also like to think that the advice you give gets better with age. Obviously, I don’t know what the future will bring. I don’t discuss my personal life in this column (I will mention if I or a family member gets married or engaged, but that’s it). However, it would be nice to spend my older years remarried to someone special, but that remains to be seen. It has been the source of considerable gratification that my son, now 23, has turned into a mature and thoughtful young man. Of course, there is also a grim reality associated with turning 65, which cannot be wiped away by sugar-plated terms like senior citizen or golden years. Mortality (ok, death) is not that far away. According to the actuary table, the life expectancy for a 65 year old male is 17.9 years, still a while away, but only as close to now as 1999. Yes, the actuary table is just a mathematical estimate, but, putting aside religious beliefs, no one has ever left the planet alive. At some point, like everyone else, I will be just a memory, hopefully later rather than sooner. I want to enjoy the experience of the years to come, but I also want those who remember me to believe that I made at least some positive impact on their lives and on the community as a whole. And, yes, I’m looking forward to a birthday drink.

Mansions on Fifth Historic Boutique Hotel in Pittsburgh’s Shadyside Lets You Reside in Gilded Age Splendor BY KAREN RUBIN

The jaw-dropping grand Mansion on Fifth, in Pittsburgh’s tony Shadyside neighborhood, home to Carnegie, Frick and other celebrated industrialists and bankers, now a boutique hotel where you get to feel as if you were transported back to the Gilded Age © 2017 Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com

I return to Pittsburgh when I come back to do my second Railsto-Trails Sojourn on the Great Allegheny Passage, a fantastic rail-trail that stretches across Western Pennsylvania, from Cumberland, Md. to Pittsburgh, this time a longer trip, 150 miles, that finishes on the Montour Trail (see stories, 7/7, 7/14). I had been dazzled by Pittsburgh on my first visit a year ago and the same is true this time. It is no wonder that this city, built on steel and coal, rejuvenated, revitalized, has been named one of America’s most liveable cities. What is best about it is how it retained the best of old and new. This time, as luck would have it, I choose a historic hotel, Mansions on Fifth, that is in the tony Shadyside neighborhood, a short walk away from the Carnegie Museums and the Cathedral of Learning, so that my all-too-brief time in this glorious city is spent immersed in the city’s leading cultural attractions that I had not been able to visit a year ago. It also puts me right into the Gilded Age part of Pittsburgh’s

story, almost literally in the footsteps of the Industrialists, Moguls and Robber Barons who so dominated American society and politics, immortalized by the legacies they left: Andrew Carnegie, Henry Clay Frick, George Westinghouse, Andrew Mellon. Mansions on Fifth – which is actually two neighboring mansion homes that have been converted into a boutique hotel - is the sort of place that when you pull up, your jaw drops. And for the brief time that you are here, you feel what it must have been like to be part of Pittsburgh’s upper-crust, the society of industrial titans. You know how historic places being “living history” places because of people? That’s what you feel like when you stay and inhabit these rooms, continuing the life and spirit of these structures that seem to have a life of their own and stories to tell. People come and go, after all, but these structures remain, albeit in the care of stewards who take on the awesome responsibility. (Whenever I travel, I first check out Historic Hotels of America’s site, historichotels.org, to see if there is a member property because the experience is always extraordinary; for my last visit, I stayed at the Omni William Penn Hotel, an iconic property right downtown. Mansions on Fifth used to be an HHA member, prior to being acquired in 2016 by Priory Hospitality Group, Pittsburgh’s premier owner, operator and developer of independent

hotels and event spaces. Among its other holdings, Priory Hospitality Group owns and operates the Priory Hotel and Grand Hall at the Priory on Pittsburgh’s North Shore.) Indeed, Mansions on Fifth puts you right back into Pittsburgh’s history and its story: “The late 1890’s and early 1900’s were in many ways Pittsburgh’s golden age, measured by prosperity and economic might, if not by a clean environment. Pittsburgh was a financial and industrial powerhouse as well as a center of river and rail transportation. In 1900, Pittsburgh produced more than half of the crucible steel in the nation, and by 1910, it was the eighth most populous city in the country. “It was also a time where giants of the business world traversed Shadyside’s Fifth Avenue – ‘Millionaire’s Row’ – on a daily basis. Names such as Carnegie, Mellon, Frick, Westinghouse and Heinz were among the leading citizens of the day.” This 20,000 sq. ft. mansion was built in the early 1900s by Willis F. McCook, a prosperous attorney and legal counsel to steel and coke magnate Henry Clay Frick for himself, his wife Mary and their 10 children. McCook was most famous for having represented Frick, but he was highly accomplished in his own right, the notes show. “A groundbreaker in modern day corporate law, McCook studied law at Columbia University following his graduation from Yale in 1873. He was also a pioneering athlete, serving

as captain of Yale’s first football team and playing in the first intercollegiate football game in the nation. Later in life, he served as president and director of the Pittsburgh Steel Company, and was a partner in the law firm McCook & Jarrett. He died in 1923 at the age of 72.” Here among the leafy green trees on a hilltop, it is easy to imagine how clean and cool the air was in comparison to the choking atmosphere of the steel mills that shrouded the city below. This was heaven befitting these massively successful titans; that was hell. While his mansion was being built, McCook’s daughter Bessie became engaged, so he contracted to build a more modest (but still spacious at 8,000 square feet) home adjacent to his own. The smaller mansion (now the Mansions on Fifth Hotel’s Amberson House) was completed first, and the main house (now called the Fifth Avenue House), was finished in 1906. The two mansions were designed in the Elizabethan Revivalist and Tudor styles by the architectural firm Carpenter & Crocker, of Pittsburgh’s East End. Many of the firm’s other projects, which range from Florida to Washington state, exist today, including the iconic Trinity Cathedral Parish House in downtown Pittsburgh. The contractor on the McCook estate was Thomas Reilly, who also built the massive and magnificent St. Paul’s Cathedral just down Fifth Avenue from the estate. Reilly also worked with Carpenter & Crocker on the Parish

House at Trinity Cathedral. “McCook and his designers and builders spared no expense, using some of the finest craftsmen of the era, including master ironworker Cyril Colnik (fixtures and decorative items), Rudy Brothers Art Glass (leaded and stained glass installations), and Rookwood Ceramic Tile (for the decorative tile around the fireplaces in the houses). The stunning carved wood in the Grand Hall of the Fifth Avenue House was produced by Woolaeger Manufacturing of Milwaukee. The total cost of the project was $300,000 in 1906 ($7.6 million in today’s dollars). After McCook died in1923, the family continued to live in the main mansion through the 1930’s. But the Great Depression took its toll and the family was unable to keep current with their property taxes. Seized for sheriff’s sale by the Allegheny County Sheriff’s Department, the mansion was purchased in 1949 by Emil Bonavita, Sr. and his wife Margaret for $28,000. The Bonavitas moved into the mansion with their two children, Emil, Jr. and Charles. As a way to pay for upkeep for the massive building, the Bonavitas rented out rooms on the upper floors to students at nearby Carnegie Mellon University. Students were thoroughly screened, and many of those attracted to the historic property were studying at CMU’s prominent arts and theater schools. According to Pittsburgh PostGazette architecture writer Patricia

screened, and many of those attracted to the historic property were studying at CMU’s prominent arts and theater schools. According to Pittsburgh PostGazette architecture writer Patricia Lowry, tenants included Albert Brooks, Andy Warhol, Shirley Jones and George Peppard. Margaret, who acted as a house mother to the many students who resided at the home over the years, resided in the McCook mansion until her much mourned death in 2003. Bessie McCook Reed, for whom the Amberson House was built in 1905, lived in the home from the time of her marriage until her passing in 1966. Three years later, Emil Bonavita, Jr. and his wife Marie acquired the Amberson House and moved in to raise their family of four children. Emil and Marie also assisted in the boarding operations at the larger Fifth Avenue House. In 2004, the Fifth Avenue House, the main mansion, sustained a devastating fire which caused extensive damage to the upper floors. The building became uninhabitable, andcould no longer house the students. Emil and Marie looked to sell the damaged mansion to a purchaser who would restore it. Pittsburgh preservationists, husband and wife Mary Del Brady and

Richard Pearson, acquired both houses of the former McCook estate from the Bonavitas for $1.5 million. Their idea was to redevelop the property into a boutique hotel and event center. Restoration and repair work, which was extensive given the fire damage, began in January 2010. The Fifth Avenue House, the primary mansion, was completed in early 2011 and opened to the public in March of that year with 13 guest rooms and suites, the grand hall event space, a library, the Oak Room pub, and two private dining rooms. The adjacent Amberson House, with 9 guest rooms and suites, opened in November 2012. The total cost exceeded $8 million. The properties were recognized as an historic landmark by the National Trust for Historic Preservation in 2012. New Era for Mansions on Fifth In late September 2016, Pittsburghbased boutique hotel owner/operator Priory Hospitality Group acquired the operating assets of the Mansions on Fifth Hotel and assumed operations of the Shadyside property. Owned and operated by the Graf family since 1986, the Priory Hospitality Group’s properties include the award winning Priory Hotel (a Tripadvisor Hall of Fame member), Grand Hall at the Priory event facility (Best Wedding Venue – City Paper 2016; Best of the Knot 2006-2016;

The Good Old Days? BY MARION LAMBERSON LEISTMAN

I have fond memories of the 1937 to 1950 time period. It was a time when life was simple, a time of feeling safe in small town America. We kids, unsupervised, could walk in the woods and wade in the stream, play in empty lots, sleigh ride on hills at a nearby estate. We could take a bus to the shopping district and meander around, just for something to do. We played hide and seek through the backyards, and we rode our bikes around town. We enjoyed the neighborhood conviviality when every household on the block sat on their front stoops until the house cooled down enough to consider going to bed. Being allowed to stay up late was a bonus. Not remembered fondly was that while we were chatting, we were constantly swatting mosquitos. Our stoop time was reduced when window exhaust fans became popular, as the hot air was expelled and cool air from outside was drawn in. The cool air made it possible to sleep, but the mosquitos came in with us and when I was awakened by buzzing, I had to get up and check the walls. If I went back to bed without finding the culprit, I would surely wake again to the buzzing sound around my head. Now I sleep comfortably on

the hottest summer nights because of the wonderful invention of air conditioning. I am not awakened by hungry mosquitos because Nassau County Mosquito Control has practically eradicated them. My mother was an excellent cook and baker, turning out delicious roasts, pies, cakes, and cookies. I remember so well seeing her stick her hand in the oven to ascertain when it had reached the correct temperature. Fortunately, by the time I began to cook, an oven that could be set for the appropriate temperature had been invented. I don’t think I would be so adept at hand temperature control as Mom was. Now my wall oven preheats to the desired temperature, beeps to let me know when that temperature is reached, and I can set an alarm to go off when cooking time is finished. Cleaning the oven with gooey cleaners was messy, hard work, and a task Mom hated and I hated for the many years I had to do it. Now when the oven needs cleaning, I just push some buttons and the job is done for me. No more fretting over overflowed blueberry pie! I save energy by using my toaster oven instead of the big oven. I marvel at how swiftly my microwave oven

heats food. When I was a child, flypaper hung in the kitchen and we had a flyswatter at the ready to swat the annoying flies; now, as with mosquitos, I am never bothered with them. We didn’t have a telephone until World War II ended, and then all that was available was a four person party line. If you wanted to make a call and someone was already using the line, you had to wait. Also, the other parties could listen in on all your conversations. Not an ideal situation, but better than nothing. What a relief when at last we had our own private line. The original rotary dial phones eventually were upgraded to push-button phones. Now I have a phone with caller ID

that tells me who is calling and voice mail that takes messages when I am not available. In addition, I have a cell phone that I can carry with me wherever I go, so that I have the peace of mind of knowing that in an emergency I am able to quickly communicate the problem. When I was a child, the radio brought news and entertainment into our homes. We listened intently to programs such as The Lone Ranger, I Love a Mystery, The green Hornet, Fibber McGee and Molly, Fred Allen, Jack Benny. We listened to the news when we ate Sunday night supper, and one unforgettable Sunday evening we See page D6

Explaining Medicare Card Codes BY TOM MARGENAU

Q: My wife and I are both on Social Security and Medicare. Her Medicare card has my Social Security number with a “B” after it. When I die, I know she will get widow’s benefits. But will she continue to get Medicare on my record? A: Yes, she will continue to get Medicare on your record. The only thing that will change is that she will get a new Medicare card, still with your Social Security number, but this time with a letter “D” behind it. The Medicare people simply use the Social Security claim number as your Medicare number. Currently, your wife is claiming benefits on your account. “B” is the symbol the Social Security Administration uses to denote wife’s benefits. When you die, your wife will be claiming widow’s benefits on your record. And “D” is the symbol SSA uses for widow’s benefits. Q: Can you explain the little letter symbols the Medicare people use on our Medicare cards? A: I put your question here on purpose because it nicely dovetails into what I wrote in the last answer. As I said, your Medicare number simply mirrors your Social Security claim number. And the little letter symbols behind the SSN signify various kinds of Social Security benefits. SSA calls them BICs. That stands for beneficiary identification codes. They run from A to W. And many of them have subsets, like B2 and C3, etc. So I simply don’t have the space to get into all of them. I will just give the most common ones. --A: retirement benefits. --B: wife’s benefits. --B6: divorced wife’s benefits. --C: child’s benefits. --D: widow’s benefits. --D6: divorced widow’s benefits. --E: mother’s benefits (widows under age 60 with minor children). Q: I am 67 and getting widow’s benefits from Social Security. My own retirement benefit was small -- only $455 per month. My widow’s rate is $2,175. In a prior column, you told a woman in a situation similar to my own that she was actually getting benefits from both her own and her husband’s Social Security account. I’d like to know if that’s true in my case, too. Can you prove it to me? A: The easiest way of proving it would be to check your Medicare card. I will bet my next pension check that it shows your number with a letter “A” behind it. (This woman got back to me and, sure enough, her Medicare card has her number with an “A.”) As mentioned above, the Medicare number reflects your Social Security claim number. So that means you are claiming retirement benefits on your own Social

Security record. That’s your primary Social Security account. Then they are supplementing your retirement with the extra widow’s benefits you are due. Or to put that another way, you are getting $455 in retirement benefits and $1,720 in widow’s benefits to take your total monthly income from Social Security up to your $2,175 full widow’s rate. Q: I just turned 70 and I am so confused about my Medicare card. It started out with my own Social Security number followed by the letter “T.” Then for several years, I had a card with my husband’s number followed by a “B.” And just recently, I got a new Medicare card -- and it’s back to my Social Security number, but this time with an “A” behind it. It’s confusing enough for me. I can’t imagine how it is messing up the Medicare billing clerks! What’s going on? A: What’s going on is that your Social Security claims situation has changed over the years. When you were 65, you signed up for Medicare only. Because you weren’t claiming any benefits, there was no claim number to add to your Medicare card. So they simply used your own Social Security number with the letter “T” behind it. The “T” originally stood for something else in the SSA BIC code dictionary. But it became useful in these situations. So think of it as meaning “temporary.” When you turned 66, you must have employed the “file and restrict” maximizing strategy, claiming wife’s benefits on your husband’s record with plans to save your own retirement benefits until age 70. So between age 66 and 70, you were claiming wife’s benefits on your husband’s Social Security account. That’s why your Medicare card during those years had his number with a “B” behind it -- the code for wife’s benefits. When you reached age 70, you switched to your own retirement benefits, getting the 132 percent rate payable to folks who delay filing for retirement until 70. So now, your Medicare number switches back to your own Social Security number, but this time with an “A” behind it denoting the fact that you are getting retirement benefits. By the way, the decision to use the Social Security claim number as the Medicare number dates back to the 1960s when the federal health insurance program began. At that time, nobody was playing games with their Social Security benefits, switching back and forth from one account to another. So it made perfect sense to just adopt the Social Security claim number as the Medicare number. For a while now, there has been some talk of setting up a completely separate numbering system for Medicare cards. But I don’t think those plans will go anywhere for two reasons. One: Who

wants to add another government ID number to the list of things they have to remember? And two: These maximizing strategies are going away in a couple years, so people will no longer be switching back and forth from one Social Security account to another. And

Mansions on Fifth Historic Boutique Hotel in Pittsburgh’s Shadyside Lets You Reside in Gilded Age Splendor C ontinued from page D5 Fitness Center and The Oak Room pub, open 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. daily, featuring craft cocktails, fine wines, and a variety of microbrew beers. The Oak Room pub also is the venue for a variety of weekly events, from wine flights, to whiskey tastings, to live music. Mansions on Fifth is a delightful venue for weddings (there is one that had just finished when I arrive), family reunions and special events. You can basically take over the two mansion homes.

(I am also intrigued to visit the Priory Group’s historic, 42-room boutique hotel that was once a Benedictine monastery, built in 1888, meticulously restored to modern standards and featuring all the amenities of a large downtown property with the intimacy of a small European hotel, located in Deutschtown on the North Shore, a near walk to the Andy Warhol Museum and downtown Pittsburgh. The Priory Group spent $2.7 million to upgrade the property, adding a new, larger front desk and a cozy pub -- the Monks’ Bar

– in the original building, a Fitness Center and Business Center, as well as state of the art meeting space in a new wing.)

The Good Old Days? C ontinued from page D3 heard that Pearl Harbor was attacked. Now I watch a flat-screened television in color. With my DVR I can record programs that broadcast in the middle of the night and watch them at my convenience, and I can watch DVDs and tapes. My parents both drove our 1937 Willys Overland with a stick shift, but if automatic shifts hadn’t been invented and I had to use a manual shift, I don’t know if I could ever have driven. It certainly would have been a struggle, and turning the wheel was not easy until power steering came along. I learned to type on a standard Underwood typewriter. I had to pound the keys and forcefully push the return lever. If a mistake was made, it had to be carefully erased and typed over so that it was undetectable. When I went back to work years later, electric typewriters had been invented. That was a big improvement which necessitated retraining myself to use a very light touch. Then came the invention of dedicated word processors, with the ability to make mistakes disappear. This was a typist’s dream come true. Today I have

word processing on my multifaceted computer. I can compose documents, easily make changes to them, store them, and restore them. With email I communicate with family and friends instantaneously. I can obtain information on any subject from the search engine Google, and I get comprehensive up-to-minute news from my home page. I marvel at how the computer can talk to me. If I make a typo when googling, it asks if that is what I meant to say. I sometimes think there is a teeny little man inside my skinny machine. I also talk to the computer, or rather I scream at it, when it doesn’t seem to understand me. Usually, though, we get along fine and it is indispensable to me. How could I not miss the bygone days of swimming in the nearby pristine beaches, lakes, and ponds. How could I not miss the days when a group of kids unaccompanied by an adult could go to a 25 cent movie on a Saturday afternoon. How could I not miss the scent of the clean, fresh air we breathed. I would like to go back to such a time, but only if I could take with me my television, microwave oven, cell phone, the ubiquitous computer, and most indispensable, air conditioning!

Keep Your Cool in the Heat of Summer BY MARY HUNT It’s summer, and it’s a scorcher in my time zone -- 103 degrees F. But the heat where I live, in northern Colorado, is dry -- only 10 percent humidity. I know, you’re laughing -- as if 103 degrees and dry were any more tolerable than a more humid 103. Actually, it is, or so the weather experts tell us. As the summer heat continues to bear down across the U.S., millions of window-mounted air conditioners are getting a real workout. Chris Hall, president of RepairClinic.com, says his company is ready for the seasonal spike in questions from consumers who are wondering why their AC unit isn’t working properly. In many instances, consumers can rectify the problem themselves if they have the right advice. Hall says: “More than any other household appliance, air conditioning units are often neglected. This is a pity because they are big energy users and a little maintenance means that homeowners can save money on both utility

and repair bills.” His company provides consumers with the information and parts they need to fix their appliances themselves. “If the unit does stop working, we can often save consumers a visit from a repair technician,” he says. All residential window air conditioners have a cooling system consisting of four primary components: a compressor, an evaporator, a temperature-sensing device and a condenser. Air conditioner cooling systems are better understood if you think of them more as a device that removes heat and humidity from the air than a device that cools the air. These are the essential maintenance steps you should take to keep your window-mounted air conditioning unit operating in tiptop condition while using the least amount of energy: 1. Every month during the months of operation, replace (or clean) the filter located in the front grill. 2. The condensing coils on an air conditioner get very dirty, and the dirt tends to accumulate on the

inside of the coils (out of sight). Once a year, remove the entire cover of the air conditioner to gain access to the coils, and then clean them by blowing compressed air on them or scrubbing with a soft bristle brush. 3. Don’t despair if you’ve accidentally bent the aluminum fins on the rear of the unit. RepairClinic will send you a handy fin-straightening comb for $2. And here are expert answers to the top three dilemmas: --A motor is running, but no air is blowing. Air conditioners have two motors: the compressor and the fan motor. It is possible that only one is running. If after removing the cover of the unit you discover the fan blade is very stiff and difficult to rotate, the fan motor may need oiling or to be replaced. --Water leaks from the front of the unit. This is normal. All air conditioners should be installed so they tilt slightly backward to allow for proper removal of condensed water that accumulates. The air smells musty. Air conditioners remove moisture from the

air. Most of it is evaporated from the unit. However, it is possible for some water to stagnate in the base of the air conditioner. Also, dirt, lint or dust can collect in the water pan at the base of the unit and absorb water, allowing mold and mildew to grow. All this leads to bad smells. Thoroughly clean the water pan each year when you clean the condenser coils. Need more help with your window-mounted air conditioners? Check RepairClinic.com. You may find exactly what you need.

Marie Walker, who NEVER misses a running event in the local area, Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joe Saladino, Oyster Bay Town Board members Lou Imbroto, Michelle Johnson and Tom Hand, and newly elected New York State Assemblyman Christine Pellegrino.

Race organizers were pleased to welcome Sister Lenore Toscano, the Executive Director of The Opening Word, and Sister Gina Fleming to the Run.
