Carcinogen in Levittown well BY GARY SIMEONE
Recent testing at a water supply well at the Seamans Neck station in Levittown showed the presence of the contaminant 1,4-dioxane. The well, which is owned and operated by the New York American Water company, is one of three wells on Long Island that was found to contain traces
of VOC's (Volatile Organic Compound.) Lee Mueller, spokesperson for NY American Water, said that the company operates at 55 sites throughout the state including 4 sites on Long Island. “Three out of the four sites that were tested on Long Island, including wells in Roosevelt and Glen Head,
showed the presence of these compounds,” said Mueller. “Both sites in Roosevelt and Levittown tested positive for 1,4-dioxane, and our well in Glen Head showed trace amounts of PFOS or perfluorooctanesulfonate acid.” She said that even though the water company is in compliance with the current See page 27
It was back in August of last year, when a meeting was held in regards to Northrop's Grumman plan to install underground pipelines along residential streets in Bethpage. The pipe system was meant to help remove toxic chemicals from the water supply as a result of the notorious, ever-growing plume, which has plagued the community for decades. In an Oyster Bay Town Hall meeting last Tuesday, Town Supervisor, Joseph Saladino and the Oyster Bay Town Board, authorized plans to purchase a utility easement for infrastructure to treat the Grumman-Navy Plume. The easement, located off of Central and North Windhorst Avenue, will remove an area of pipeline from a residential block and house the necessary equipment to help prevent the expansion of the plume. Saladino said the move would help homeowners and residents from having to deal with additional anxiety and disruption to their lives. “Although remediation of the Grumman-Navy plume will require miles of pipeline throughout the town of Oyster Bay, we will do our part to protect homeowners wherever possible,” said Saladino. “In this instance, it makes more sense to move the pipeline off a residential street and into a utility easement.” He said that even though the displaced pipeline would be an added
expense for Grumman, the Town would be willing to condemn property to make it happen. “The Town will do all it can to protect residential blocks from being dug up as the community has already suffered long enough from this ongoing environmental nightmare.” The DEC, (Department of Environmental Conservation,) in its efforts to help control the plume, imposed on Northrop Grumman, that they develop infrastructure to help facilitate the ongoing groundwater remediation plan. The plan includes the installation of three extraction wells and underground piping to connect the treatment system. Saladino said that an easement off of Central and Windhorst, was an ideal location to move a portion of the infrastructure away from residential properties. “A portion of the easement is located within the King Kullen shopping center, which is considered private property,” said Saladino. “It was brought to our attention that Northrop Grumman was unsuccessful in negotiating the use of this easement with the property owner, so the Town stepped in to do what’s necessary to continue to protect our residents.” The Town Board voted last week to approve the Town’s attorney’s office, to begin efforts of negotiation or if necessary acquiring the property by eminent domain.

Town funding available for businesses who train workers The Town of Oyster Bay has announced the availability of On-TheJob Training funds for local businesses looking to expand their workforce, train employees, and return jobs to the community. Under this program, the Town will partner with an eligible business and help defray costs (through wage reimbursement) needed to help bring a candidate up to speed in a job where a skills gap exists. Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor Joseph Saladino stated, “Our On-theJob Training Program has been successful in helping putting people to work while assisting employers with
growing their business. Federal grant funds allow us to reimburse a business for the additional expenses needed to bring a candidate up to speed in a job. I encourage business owners to contact the Town’s Workforce Partnership program to obtain additional information about On-The-Job training, and learn if your business is eligible to benefit from this fantastic program.” The On-the-Job Training Program is designed to reimburse a business for the additional expenses needed to bring a job candidate up to speed in a position where they do not meet all the minimum qualifications nor-
Extended hours at Town tax office The Town of Oyster Bay has announced that it will have extended office hours on for property owners looking to pay their taxes without penalty. Although the First Half of the 2020 General Tax Levy was due on January 1st, taxes can be paid without penalty through February 10. As such, the Tax Office in Town Hall North in Oyster Bay and Town Hall South in Massapequa will be opened for extended hours between 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on both Friday, February 7 and Monday, February 10. Receiver of Taxes Jeffrey Pravato stated, “Offering extended Tax Office hours ahead of the deadline to pay the first half of the 2020 General Tax Levy will allow residents a more convenient way to pay their taxes in person, as well as the opportunity to ask questions regarding their tax bills, if they have any. State laws allows a 40-day penalty free period from the date the tax is due for a payment to be made without penalty, but after 40 days, State law dictates a 1% penalty added for each month the tax remains unpaid. I urge residents to not delay, and take advantage of these extended office hours on both Friday, February 7th, and Monday February 10th, to ensure that your payment is made before February 10th to avoid paying more out of pocket than necessary.” The Tax Offices in Town Hall North, located at 74 Audrey Avenue in Oyster
Bay, and Town Hall South, located at 977 Hicksville Road, Massapequa, will both be open for extended hours from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm on Friday, February 7th and Monday, February, 10th, in the lead up to the deadline to pay the first half of the 2020 General Tax Levy. Residents can pay in person by either cash, check or credit/debit card (for a fee) at the Tax Office, Oyster Bay Town Hall North, 74 Audrey Avenue, Oyster Bay, or by check only at the Receiver of Taxes Office, Town Hall South, 977 Hicksville Road, Massapequa. The Receiver of Taxes Office in Town Hall South can be accessed by the rear entrance to the building. When paying the tax bill in person, residents are reminded to bring the entire tax bill with their payments. Taxpayers can access 2020 General Tax information at www.oysterbaytown.com. Residents may view tax bills, print out a hard copy, or pay taxes with an ACH check payment or credit/debit card (subject to third party fees, no portion remitted to the Town of Oyster Bay). For more information on property taxes and/or payments, residents may call at (516) 6246400. Callers are requested to have the school district, section, block and lot numbers of the property in question available. This information is listed on the tax bill and on the property deed.
mally required of the position. The program helps bridge the skills gap by providing funds to train the prospective employee. For small to mid-sized businesses (1-50 employees), employers may be eligible for 75% potential reimbursement, with larger businesses (50+ employees) potentially eligible for 50% reimbursement. Through the use of Federal grant funds, the potential employee’s salary costs are partially offset for the employer. To be eligible, businesses must offer employment opportunities that last at least 1 month and no more than 6 months in length, starting wage must be above minimum wage, the position must be fulltime, and must be a direct hire situation (no placement agency). Councilman Lou Imbroto stated, “The Oyster Bay Brewing Company previously participated in this On-The-Job Training Program, ulti-
mately helping train and employ two residents in product sales, which ultimately led to permanent positions within the company. In addition to the On-The-Job Training Program, the Workforce Partnership program offers resume building and other career services, as the Town is committed to offering residents the opportunity to enhance their marketability and pinpoint employment opportunities, and help local employers continue to grow their operations. Contact the Town of Oyster Bay today and learn all that we have to offer.” For more information about this program, including eligibility requirements for trainees and businesses, and information about the many other great services that the Town’s Workforce Partnership program offers, please contact (516) 797-7973.
Public hearing planned for development at Sears site The Oyster Bay Town Board has declared that the Draft Environmental Impact Statement of the 26.4-acre mixed-use Heritage Village project complies with state and town law, and set a public hearing date for Tuesday, March 10 at 7 p. m. at Hicksville High School Auditorium, located at 180 Division Avenue in Hicksville. The developer will present an overview of the project at the public hearing, and the Town Board will listen to comments from the public. To ensure all residents have an opportunity to comment, three minutes will be afforded to each speaker. This process does not mean the project has been approved; such consideration will be made by the Town Board after the public comment period has concluded. Seritage, a real estate investment trust spun off by Sears Holdings, has proposed demolition of the Sears department store and Auto Center at 195 North Broadway. The site would become home to 425 rental apartments, retail and office space, restaurants, a grocery store, cinema, fitness center and food-service kiosks. The existing TD Bank and Chipotle restaurant would remain on the site. The pro-
Conversational, opinionated, wordsmith?
posed development includes approximately 5 acres of green space. With the Town Board’s declaration that the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) is complete for purposes of commencing public review, a 60-day public comment period of the DEIS has commenced to ensure that all residents have an opportunity to provide their opinions on the applicant’s proposal. The comment period runs through March 27. The DEIS is available online at: http://oysterbaytown.com/seritage. Hard copies of the DEIS are available at Town of Oyster Bay Town Clerk’s Office, Hicksville Public Library, and Town of Oyster Bay Department of Environmental Resources (DER). Residents and members of the public are invited to submit their comments at the hearing and/or in writing from January 29, 2020 through Friday, March 27, 2020 by visiting http://oysterbaytown.com/seritage or mailing correspondence to: Town of Oyster Bay Department of Environmental Resources, Attention Deputy Commissioner George Baptista, 29 Spring Street, Oyster Bay, NY 11771.

To kick of its second year of service, the all-volunteer nonprofit Align Us mentorship program hosted author Ellen Gottlieb of Enlightened Parenting as guest speaker for its 2020 MentorMentee Seminar held January 27 at Bethpage Public Library. After a warm introduction and inspiring words from Plainview native, Nassau County Legislator Arnold C. Drucker, Gottlieb presented on “Pitfalls and Parenting and How to Avoid Them.” The audience consisted of over 75 parents and students, many of whom will participate in the spring 2020 round of Align Us mentorship experiences under the guidance of professionals volunteering their time and expertise as the opportunity gives kids a glance into careers and industries they may be considering for their lives post-high school and college.
Results oriented approach?
According to Gottlieb, many parents are over-invested in results and outcomes of each class, extracurricular activity and standardized test their preteen and teenage students are involved with. She says a better approach is connecting with the youth and considering factors in their lives, and have a clear understanding of “what is going on with the child -- find the need.” She explained that all of humanity spends all of their lives seeking answers to two questions. “Those two questions are -- ‘do you hear me?’ and ‘am I worthy?’ If you are willing to hear me in the way that we’re developing connection I want to share with you, then I must matter. This is the message our children need to get from us in order to thrive in the world. The two essential components of this dynamic are connection and boundaries. There is a different way of connecting than you may be utilizing in your homes. We must start by recognizing that each child is their own sovereign being. That child does not have to reflect my interests, what I like to do and what I want to do as a career because I am their parent,” she told attendees on January 27. A point she stressed to the Align Us audience in Bethpage was that “non-reactivism” is a very important part of parent-child connections. The calls non-reactivity the first pillar, although many parents would agree that no one can make them madder or act as a trigger more than a teenage son or daughter. “Not reacting is such a phenomenal tool but it’s so hard to do (not a response but a true reaction). When the dog was not walked or the test was failed or their new jacket was lost at school or the library, or the dishwasher wasn’t emptied, homework was not done, etc. On top of those things they were rude to mom or dad. NOT REACTING to those triggers and literally staying silent is
an enormous tool because 15 minutes later when you have not dumped your anger on your child for their actions, then there’s really a sense of not having a mess to clean up. Some people feel the ‘tug-of-war’ can’t be avoided but it can. With tug-of-war behaviors everyone pulls the rope, no one gets anywhere but everyone is getting exhausted. Imagine what happens once you let go of the rope -- the person on the other side falls back gently and they can calm down,” Gottlieb said. If a child (especially a tween or teen) gets rude Gottlieb suggests that parents label the behavior and acknowledge “that was rude” and then pause from the situation, to explain “let’s talk in a few minutes -- let it go.” She makes a point that there are no bad children, only children who demonstrate and consistently choose behaviors parents won’t like “because there is an unmet emotional need beneath the behavior.” “The most important part of non-reactivity for parents is to try to not shame, not blame to not criticize or judge. This is how we clip the children’s wings although we don’t think we’re doing that -- we think we may be teaching. Kids don’t act out because they’re bad. If they are behaving badly or in outward ways, it is a signal to parents to wake up and find the child’s needs. Are they suffering in school, having either social or academic problems? Too many extracurriculars? What is going on with this child? If you find their need and meet it, take it as an opportunity to work on it,” Gottlieb explains.
Coping with failures
Another lesson for parents and children involves coping with failures, setbacks and disappointing issues. Gottlieb says these are experiences that parents must learn to let happen instead of trying to maintain perfect records and nothing but great achievements. One day her daughter earned a 50 on a test, and was crying about it at home. Instead of criticizing or getting concerned with the grade’s implications Gottlieb was able to take it in, walk away and let her daughter experience different emotions. “At bedtime, since evening is a much better time to connect, all I said to her was ‘what happened?’ and her answer to me was that she forgot there was a test and she did not study. I responded -- ‘you got half the answers right and you didn’t even know there was a test?’ There as no shaming, and I held back my worry because the 50 score was in her teacher’s book and I could not change that, nor did I want to. Although there’s consequences she will have to deal with I was not going to be the bad guy and act upon my ego being crushed because my child failed the test. I just said to her, you got half right and the mark stood, so what is your plan. In the space of my neutrality instead of getting
on her back, she figured out that she needed a new planner and what ways she had to avoid this problem,” Gottlieb said. Gottlieb’s “guide to More Conscious Parenting” includes one of the very hardest practices to take up, especially for parents of teens. “I will suggest to you that you not try to fix, rescue or protect -- I am asking on both ends to reconsider how you’ll connect with your child. I can use the Align Us program as a perfect example. If your student put down their top five or six choices for being partnered with particular mentorship opportunities but they received only their last or second-to-last choice, just let it be. This is an amazing program and a great opportunity for you as parents to let go, be hands off, and trust that your child will work with these amazing volunteers and people. As Legislator Arnold Drucker said the organizer, Dr. Uzma Syed, is such an amazing person. If the child does not like what they learn and work on during the spring program, let them either advocate for themselves or simply let it be,” Gottlieb said. One of Gottlieb’s clients had a son in college who wanted to pursue a program in animal sciences. The college required a particular course in poultry management, which disgusted the student at first. He hated the idea and he complained, and his father spoke to me and suggested he can call the school and get him out of the class. I said that I recommend not doing that, be hands off. If the young man wanted that degree he would have to go through it or figure out what to do -- one day, in a career a boss would not suggest to him to just talk to his mom or dad. The parents wouldn’t say he no longer has to do a project at work…... Life does not work that way and there is no need to clear the field. If I asked all of you today if life ever came at you in some difficult ways and you had to learn to cope, there is no point in not teaching kids coping skills. The young man was forced to take poultry management in college. Fast forward 10 years later and he works in this field, and he loves it. He entered the course with no idea that career existed but the program had that requirement. Align Us is connecting your children with someone as a mentor, so if within the program outline they don’t get their top choice be grateful --- that last choice might open up a world to your child,” she said.
Groundbreaking Mentorship Program
Align Us began as the vision of Dr. Uzma Syed, Syosset High School Class of 1997 graduate, a former candidate for Syosset Board of Education and co-owner of the local medical practice, South Shore Infectious Disease & Travel Medicine Consultants at 60 Queens Street, blocks from the Jackson Avenue downtown Syosset business hub. She
along with esteemed board members and volunteer professionals formed Align Us in late 2018 (reported first in the Advance & News-Journal December 6, 2018) with citations from Nassau County Legislator Arnold Drucker and Dr. Syed’s “little brother” from Syosset, Legislator Josh A. Lafazan. Through its spring and fall 2019 semesters of mentorship, Dr. Syed says the messages local teens receive from Align Us’ network of professionals and the speaker events and workshops organized in the first 14 months of this program ‘allows them to step back and realize the pressures they put on themselves.’ Syed says too many Syosset, Jericho and Plainview area teens feel like “they need to have a vision for their future as they go through high school…. It is great for them to h This spring semester, concurrent with weeks of mentorship under a professional, Align Us will host several high-profile events and career-oriented programs for high school-age students. Details of each event, Align Us board members and supporters and the mentorship program can be found online at On Thursday, February 27 the organization will bring students and families a Public Speaking Seminar in collaboration with U.S. Congresswoman Grace Meng and Boys Club of New York. The event will be held at 133-01 41st Road in Flushing from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. On Wednesday March 18 Align Us students and volunteers return to Adelphi University in Garden City for a Resume Writing Seminar from 6 to 8 p.m. This follows an October 2019 Align Us event on the Adelphi campus for College Essay writing. On Saturday, March 21, Align Us will be giving students a professional learning and development opportunity at its Pathway to Your Future 2020 Leadership Conference from 9am to 3pm at the Melville Marriott, 1350 Walt Whitman Road in Melville. ear how it’s okay to keep an open mind, explore, and try different options,” she says. After studying psychology at Columbia University and becoming an attorney, Gottlieb has taken “parenting and awareness” as a career calling for more than a decade, effectively coaching parents from all walks of life.

East Woods School Expands Its Advanced Educational Programs East Woods School, an independent co-educational pre-nursery through 8th grade day school in Oyster Bay, New York, founded in 1946, is in its third year of adding to its advanced programs for students seeking greater challenges. Students in Kindergarten and 1st grade can qualify for advanced phonics instruction, and students in Kindergarten through 8th are provided with advanced math instruction. Placement is based on school-administered assessments. In addition to these opportunities, East Woods School’s world languages program begins with Spanish instruction in Nursery. In 3rd and 4th grade, students receive both French and Spanish instruction. Students choose one of these languages for in-depth study in 5th grade. In their secondary school placements, most graduates go on to place in Level 3 or Level 2 Honors for French and Spanish. Last year, East Woods implemented an 8th grade Leadership Program modeled after Leadership Huntington, an organization to train adults to become community leaders. In the East Woods School version, students assess their own leadership abilities, practice public speaking, develop additional
leadership skills and receive etiquette lessons. They investigate local, regional and international non-profits and choose one to support with a yearlong project they design as a group. East Woods students who qualify as gifted also stretch themselves in science with the Advanced Learning Program in Science taught by the former Director of Gifted Education at Cold Spring Harbor Lab. The ALPS program is provided as an enrichment after school on Fridays or as a one-onone or small group mentorship during the school day. All students have the opportunity to express themselves in
performing arts through East Wood’s artist-in-residence program provided by Ovations Performing Arts
Studio. In the after school program, students perform two plays a year, and all students in Kindergarten, 6th, 7th and 8th grades perform in a large play production in early spring. Fifth graders and Kindergarteners also each perform in a grade-level play. The school emphasizes kindness, excellence and community, recognizing that the best leaders are formed in a supportive setting with teachers and parents who model and communicate strong values and promote the ideal of reaching one’s “personal best.” East Woods strives to maintain high academic standards in a welcoming, family-like culture in which differences are understood and celebrated. In a highly competitive world, East Woods students consistently place into top-tier independent, parochial and boarding schools. Graduates matriculate to schools such as Phillips Exeter Academy, Chaminade, The Hotchkiss School, Friends Academy, Portledge School, Kellenberg and St. Anthony’s. From there, they attend colleges and universities such as Harvard, Princeton, Cornell, NYU, Columbia and more.

Discovering Marvels of Crazy Horse Memorial on Badlands, Black Hills & Mickelson Trail Bike Tour BY KAREN RUBIN TRAVEL FEATURES SYNDICATE GOINGPLACESFARANDNEAR.COM The Crazy Horse Memorial is sensational, awesome and profound. The carved portrait in the cliff-side, which I first encounter by surprise as I bike on the Mickelson Trail between Custer and Hill City is spectacular enough, but there is so much more to discover. There is also a superb Museum of Native Americans of North America (it rivals the Smithsonian’s Museum in Washington DC) where you watch a terrific video that tells the story of the America’s indigenous people, and can visit the studio/home of the sculptor, Korczak Ziolkowski. It is the highlight of our third day of the Wilderness Voyageurs “Badlands and Mickelson Trail” bike tour of South Dakota. I rush to join a tour (a modest extra fee) that brings us right to the base of the sculpture. You look into this extraordinary, strong face – some quartz on the cheek has a glint that suggests a tear. Only then do I realize that, much to my surprise, seeing the scaffolding and equipment, that 70 years after sculptor Ziolkowski started carving the monument in 1947, his grandson is leading a crew to continue carving. Right now it is mainly a bust – albeit the largest stone carving in the world - but as we see in the museum, the
A model of how the finished Crazy Horse Memorial will look is juxtaposed against what has been accomplished in the more than 70 years since sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski began carving it © Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com completed sculpture will show Crazy Horse astride a horse, his arm outstretched toward the lands that were taken from the Lakota. At 87 ft 6 inches high, the Crazy Horse Memorial is the world’s largest mountain carving in progress. They are now working on the 29-foot high horse’s head, the 263-foot long arm, and 33 ft-high hand, the guide tells us. The horse’s head will be as tall as 22-story building, one-third larger than any of the President’s at
Mount Rushmore. The next phase of progress on the Mountain involves carving Crazy Horse’s left hand, left forearm, right shoulder, hairline, and part of the horse’s mane and head over 10-15 years. The plan is to carve the back side of the rock face as well, which would make the Crazy Horse Memorial a three-sided monument. When completed, the Crazy Horse Mountain carving will be the world’s largest sculpture, measuring 563 feet high by 641 feet long, carved in the
G O I N G P L A C E S N E A R A N D F A R
round. The nine-story high face of Crazy Horse was completed on June 3, 1998; work began on the 22-story high horse’s head soon after. “One if hardest decisions (after two years of planning) was to start with head, not the horse (in other words, work way down),” the guide tells us. In 71 years of construction, there have been no deaths or life threatening injuries of the workers (though there was that accident when a guy driving a machine slipped off edge; his father told him he had to get the machine out himself.) Four of Korczak and Ruth’s 10 children and three of his grandchildren still work at the Memorial. On the bus ride back to the visitor center, the guide tells us that Zioklowski was a decorated World War II veteran who was wounded on D-Day, but was so devoted to the Crazy Horse Memorial, he even planned for his death: there is a tomb in a cave at the base of the monument.. Back at the visitor center/museum, the story about the Crazy Horse Memorial is told in an excellent film: The overwhelming theme is to tell the story, to give a positive view of native culture, to show that Native Americans have their own heroes, and to restore and build a legacy that See page D2

Discovering Marvels of Crazy Horse Memorial on Badlands, Black Hills & Mickelson Trail Bike Tour
Continued from page D1 survived every attempt to blot it out in a form of genocide. There were as many as 18 million Indians living in North America when the Europeans arrived (the current population is 7 million in the US). “These Black Hills are our Cathedral, our sacred land,” the film says. Crazy Horse was an Ogala Lakota, born around 1840 on the edge of Black Hills. He was first called “Curly” but after proving himself in battle, earned his father’s name, “Crazy Horse” (as in “His Horse is Crazy”). The chief warned of encroaching “river” of settlers, leading to 23-years of Indian wars. In 1876 Crazy Horse led the battle against General Custer, the Battle of Little Big Horn (known as Custer’s Last Stand, but Indians call it “the Battle of Greasy Grass”). It was a victory for the Indians, but short-lived. Soon after, the US government rounded up the rebels and killed Crazy Horse while he was in custody at Fort Robinson, Nebraska. (See www.nps.gov/libi/learn/historyculture/crazy-horse.htm) I am introduced to a new hero: Standing Bear. Standing Bear was born 1874 near Pierre, South Dakota, and was among the first Indian children sent away to the Carlisle Indian School in Pennsylvania where his name was randomly changed to “Henry.” In the school, their Indian identity was forcibly removed – they cut the boys’ hair, they were not allowed to speak their language “to best help them learn the ways of non-native.” “As a result of attending Carlisle, Standing Bear concluded that in order
to best help his people, it would be necessary for him to learn the ways of the non-Native world. Somewhat ironically, Carlisle – an institution that was designed to assimilate Native Americans out of their indigenous ways – became a source of inspiration that Standing Bear would repeatedly draw upon to shape his enlightened understanding of cross-cultural relationships, as well as to find new ways of preserving his people’s culture and history.” He honed leadership skills like public speaking, reasoning, and writing, realizing that because of the changing times, the battle for cultural survival would no longer be waged with weapons, but with words and ideas. “This realization became a driving force behind much of his work during his adult life and led him to become a strong proponent of education,” the background material on the Crazy Horse Memorial website explains (crazyhorsememorial.org). Standing Bear attended night school in Chicago while he worked for the Sears Roebuck Company to pay for his schooling. With feet firmly placed in both worlds, he became heavily involved in the affairs of his people over the course of his life and politically astute —working with Senator Francis Case and serving as a member of the South Dakota Indian Affairs Commission. He led the initiative to honor President Calvin Coolidge with a traditional name – “Leading Eagle,” taking the opportunity for advocacy during the naming ceremony to challenge President Coolidge to take up the leadership role that had been previously filled by highly-respected leaders such as Sitting Bull and Red Cloud. In 1933, Standing Bear learned of a

monument to be constructed at Fort Robinson, Nebraska, to honor his maternal cousin, Crazy Horse, who was killed there in 1877. He wrote to the organizer that he and fellow Lakota leaders were promoting a carving of Crazy Horse in the sacred Paha Sapa – Black Hills. Standing Bear looked for an artist with the skill to carve the memorial to his people that would show Indians had heroes too and turned to Korczak Ziolkowski, a self-taught sculptor who had assisted at Mount Rushmore and had gained recognition at the 1939 World’s Fair. Standing Bear invited him back to the Black Hills. Born in Boston of Polish descent in 1908, Korczak was orphaned when he was one year old. He grew up in a series of foster homes and is said to have been badly mistreated. He gained skills in heavy construction helping his foster father. On his own at 16, Korczak took odd jobs to put himself through Rindge Technical School in Cambridge, MA, after which he became an apprentice patternmaker in the shipyards on the rough Boston waterfront. He experimented with woodworking, making beautiful furniture. At age 18, he handcrafted a grandfather clock from 55 pieces of Santa Domingo mahogany. Although he never took a lesson in art or sculpture, he studied the masters and began creating plaster and clay studies. In 1932, he used a coal chisel to carve his first portrait, a marble tribute to Judge Frederick Pickering Cabot, the famous Boston juvenile judge who had befriended and encouraged the gifted boy and introduced him to the world of fine arts. Moving to West Hartford, Conn.,
Korczak launched a successful studio career doing commissioned sculpture throughout New England, Boston, and New York. Ziolkowski wanted to do something worthwhile with his sculpture, and made the Crazy Horse Memorial his life’s work. “Crazy Horse has never been known to have signed a treaty or touched the pen,” Ziolkowski wrote. “Crazy Horse, as far as the scale model is concerned, is to be carved not so much as a lineal likeness, but more as a memorial to the spirit of Crazy Horse – to his people. With his left hand gesturing forward in response to the derisive question asked by a white man, ‘Where are your lands now?’ He replied, ‘My lands are where my dead lie buried’.” There is no known photo of Crazy Horse, Ziolkowski created his likeness from oral descriptions. He built a log studio home (which we can visit) at a time when there was nothing around – no roads, no water, no electricity. For the first seven years, he had to haul himself and his equipment, including a decompressor and 50 pound box of dynamite, up 741 steps. Living completely isolated in the wilderness, Korczak and his wife Ruth bought an 1880s one-room school house, had it moved to this isolated property and hired a teacher for their 10 children. There is so much to see here: The Museums of Crazy Horse Memorial feature exhibits and engaging experiences that let you discover Native history and contemporary life, the art and science of mountain carving and the lives of the Ziolkowski family.

America houses an enormous collection of art and artifacts reflecting the diverse histories and cultures of over 300 Native Nations. The Museum, designed to complement the story being told in stone on the Mountain, presents the lives of American Indians and preserves Native Culture for future generations. The Museum collection started with a single display donated in 1965 by Charles Eder, Hunkpapa Lakota, from Montana, which remains on display to this day. The Indian Museum has about the same number of annual visits as the National Museum of the American Indian at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, DC. Close to 90% of the art and artifacts have been donated by generous individuals, including many Native Americans. The gorgeous building housing the Museum was designed and built by Korczak Ziolkowski and his family in the harsh winter of 1972-73, when no work was possible on the Mountain. The Museum incorporated Korczak’s love of wood and natural lighting, being constructed from ponderosa pine, harvested and milled at Crazy Horse Memorial. The original wing of the museum was dedicated on May 30, 1973. In the early 1980s, Korczak planned a new wing of
The imposing Crazy Horse Memorial, South Dakota © Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com the Museum to accommodate the growing collection of artifacts. He did not live to see his plans realized, instead his wife Ruth Ziolkowski and 7 of their children made sure the new wing was

said he was moved by the purpose of Crazy Horse, Korczak, and his family’s great progress and by the sculptor’s reliance on free enterprise and refusal to take federal funds The Ziolkowski Family Life Collection is shown throughout the complex and demonstrates to people of all ages the timeless values of making a promise and keeping it, setting a goal and never giving up, working hard to overcome adversity, and devoting one’s life to something much larger than oneself. There are portraits of the couple and personal effects that tell their life’s story. The Mountain Carving Gallery shares the amazing history of carving the Mountain. It features the tools Korczak used in the early years of carving, including a ½ size replica of “the bucket” - a wooden basket used with an aerial cable car run by an antique Chevy engine that allowed the sculptor to haul equipment and tools up the Mountain.

Having fun with family on these retirement days
After working full-time for 40+ years making the transition to being retired and having so much free time was a challenge. My sister-in-law, Patty, invited me to come check out her “I love my quilting” group and I did go to one or two meetings with her. The 14 other women were very nice ladies. They all made small talk and chatted as they did their quilting but I had to confess to Patty afterwards that as far as hobbies were concerned, that particular one wasn’t floating my boat. I didn’t love quilting and I felt like a fish out of water. I spent some time fishing with my brother, Peter, and in short order I discovered a lot about staying steady in a boat and holding my own with four people who definitely knew what they were doing when it came to being on the water. I had a lot to learn about setting the bait on my fishing hook then casting my line so I knew there was a learning curve going on but I still didn’t want to stand out as a novice to these more experienced fishermen. Against my better judgment I went golfing with my sister, Michelle, who’s a real sports nut. She and the two other people in our group kept lapsing into golfing terms and even though I knew some of what they were talking about, I wasn’t catching everything. I realized that the divots I was leaving behind in the grass weren’t good things but when it came to birdieing and bogeying I wasn’t sure if I was
doing well or poorly. When it was my turn on the course I tried not to overthink anything and I just kept swinging away, hoping that my little golf ball would magically land in that cup. Sometimes it did and sometimes it landed off the golf course but if my fellow golfers thought that I was going to chase that ball and risk coming face to face with an alligator in that little forest out there they could think again. Besides, I was having more fun riding around the golf course in the little golf cart than I was having swinging away. I know that sounds very unsportsmanlike of me - and very unappreciative, too - but that’s just how I felt every time I played 18 holes of golf. A duffer is something I’m not. And afterwards, when someone showed me my picture decked out in golfing attire, I just didn’t look like myself. After joining a local senior citizens group and getting persuaded to go out to lunch with 19 women I barely knew I was uncertain. Okay, to be honest, I knew two of the ladies but had not met any of the others. Where they all appeared from I’ll never know because I had been going to the senior citizens center for a few months and had never seen them. And having finger sandwiches followed by sherbet in fancy glasses on saucers at noon before playing two or three rounds of Hearts didn’t really pique my interest when it was a nice day outside. I like my hobbies to be a
little more active. A few of us seniors got a horseshoes game together on a day when the weather was cooperating and it was fun seeing who had the most talent at either being able to toss a horseshoe around a stake - or at least get close to it. Since I hadn’t seriously played horseshoes in years, the more I played the better I got at it. My opponent won the first two games then we let some other people play. My friend, Kerry, took me shelling along the beach one morning and to our delight we found a conch shell on the shoreline that was perfect with no breaks in it. We also found a couple of helmet shells and scallop shells. One weekend recently was a 10th birthday celebration for my nephew, Nick. The family party was on Sunday and on Saturday several of us went miniature golfing. Playing miniature golf with a few of my nieces and nephews as well as some of my brothers and sisters was a lot of fun. It was a holiday weekend so on Monday we had the chance to spend several hours watching reruns of “The Lucy Show” and “The Carol Burnett Show” from the 1960s. My young nieces and nephews had never seen those TV shows. They are all well written, well acted and entertaining. Okay, the filming/videography is very old fashioned by today’s standards but we ignored that because the story line was so amusing. They definitely held our attention
and the eight of us watching the shows at my house ranged in age from four to 66. Nick was there with his sisters, Mary and Elle, plus his cousins, Patrick, Jerry and Avery. My other niece, Samantha, is older and she joined us that day. How often do you get to see some real song and dance routines like the ones Frankie Avalon did in 1967 on “The Lucy Show”? Avalon who is Tommy in the episode, is placed at work as a trainee because he is the nephew of Mr. Cheever, the owner of the bank. Tommy has no interest in learning the banking business, however. He wants to be an actor. Mr. Mooney and Lucy try to persuade him to go into banking but when Lucy hears him sing in her office she realizes that Tommy really does belong in the entertainment field. Dressed up in a suit and a tie, young Tommy sings “Clap Your Hands” at the top of his voice and everyone on the set is dancing. “Yeah, you’re gonna dance, and you’re gonna shout it!,” he said. “Yeah, you’re gonna dance, no doubt about it!” It was a fast-paced act and everyone in my group was glued to the TV set. Another funny episode featured John Wayne and Lucy. Mr. Mooney sends Lucy to deliver some papers about the financing of John Wayne’s See page D5

OK, You’re Dead! Now What? BY TOM MARGENAU
Several months ago, I wrote a column about how to handle Social Security matters when a loved one dies. I guess you all forgot to cut it out and paste it on your refrigerator, because I continually get questions about that topic. Here are some of the latest ones. Q: For Christmas, my wife got me a clever little booklet titled, “So I’m dead ... now what?” In effect, it’s a little journal I’m supposed to fill in with instructions to my wife and family about how to handle my affairs after I am gone. One of the sections is about Social Security. So, what do I put in that section? And just so you know, I’m 82, and I get $2,490 from Social Security. My wife is 78, and she gets $1,850. A: Sometime after your death, your wife is going to have to contact the Social Security Administration to file for widows benefits. She should call the SSA at 800-772-1213 to set up an appointment to file that claim over the phone or at your local Social Security office. (As a general rule, widows claims cannot be done online.) How much will she get? At your ages, it’s easy. She’ll start getting what you were getting at the time of death. So, if you drop dead tomorrow (God forbid), she’d keep getting her $1,850 benefit, and she would get an additional $640 in widows benefits to take her up to your $2,490 rate. And the issue of dealing with the last Social Security check always befuddles readers. So, here it is explained again. You have to start out by understanding two rules. Rule No. 1: Social Security benefits are always paid after the month is over. In other words, the check you get in February is the Social Security payment for January. And Rule No. 2: Social Security benefits are never prorated. So, you have to be alive every day of a month in order to be due a Social Security benefit for that month. Here is an example. Let’s say you die on Sept. 25. The check that comes in October (which is the payment for September) will have to be returned. Actually, there is a pretty good chance the check might not even show up because banks are under instructions to return Social Security checks for deceased account holders. But let your wife and family know that if the check does appear in your bank account, the funds have to be returned. People often complain about this lack of proration of Social Security checks. But what they don’t understand is it can often work to your and your family’s advantage. For example, let’s say you started your Social Security at age 66 and that you turned 66 on June 22. You would have received a Social Secu-
rity check for the whole month of June even though you were 66 for only eight days of the month. Also, if you do die on Sept. 25, your wife is going to get a widows benefit for the whole month of September even though she was a widow for only the last five days of the month. Q: My husband passed away unexpectedly on Nov. 25. He received his last Social Security check on Nov. 27. When I called the Social Security 800 number on Dec. 5, the lady I talked to told me not to withdraw the funds because that money was going to be returned to the government. She said once that happened, I could then fill out a form to have the check reissued in my name. She also explained to me that when I turn 60 (I am now 58), I should check into filing for widows benefits. Just before Christmas, I went into our local Social Security office to explain to them that the money from that Nov. 27 check was still sitting in our bank account. The nice, seemingly knowledgeable man I talked to said, “It’s yours. Go ahead and use the money any way you want.” It is now more than a month later, and I still haven’t touched that money. I’m afraid that if I spend it, they will turn around and ask for it back. So how come I got two different answers from the Social Security clerks? And what should I do? A: I am sorry to hear about your husband’s untimely death. And I’m also sorry you got two different answers from Social Security agents. But in a way, both of them were right -- at least at the time you talked to each one of them. I will explain. That check that came on Nov. 27 was the payment for October. And because your husband was alive the entire month of October, he was due the proceeds from that check. Which means now, as his widow, you are due that money. But how you get your hands on that money can be a little tricky. Legally, what should have happened is this: The bank was supposed to return that check to the Treasury Department because it came after your husband died. Then you, in turn, would have to file a claim with the SSA to have the check reissued in your name. (That’s what the first agent told you.) But sometimes banks play a little loose with the rules. I’ve found this usually happens in small towns or in situations where you have been a customer with the bank for a long time. They know that you are going to end up with the money anyway, so they may decide not to bother returning the check and just let you keep the money. (And that’s what the second agent told you.) You might want to go to your bank and talk with an official there. Explain
your situation and find out if they plan to return the check. If they do, go back to the SSA and fill out the form to get the check reissued in your name. If the bank says the money is yours to keep, well, they saved you some paperwork, and the money is yours. Q: My mother was getting widows benefits and recently died. We returned her last check, but when I asked about the $255 death benefit, they said I’m not due it. Why not? A: That miserly little one-time death
benefit of $255 used to be paid to anyone who filed for it anytime a Social Security beneficiary died. But a while back, Congress changed the rules. It can only be paid on the account of someone who worked and paid Social Security taxes, and it can only be paid to a spouse who was living with the deceased at the time of death.

latest production. Despite his orders to drop off the papers with one of the studio’s secretaries, Lucy insists on meeting John Wayne in person at lunch and spills ketchup all over him. She then follows him to his movie set and causes all sorts of trouble by shouting out on the set during the filming and tripping over the movie camera. Jacques Bergerac also appeared on “The Lucy Show” in the 1960s. A European movie company whose lead actor is Jacques DuPre comes to Los Angeles to set up shop. In the bank, Mr. Mooney’s plans to land their account are nearly lost when Lucy gets into mischief. She does a hysterical job of trying to be the best secretary but … Robert Goulet played opposite Lucy in a 1967 episode. When a handsome truck driver named Chuck Willis is turned down for a loan at the bank, Lucy convinces him to enter a Robert Goulet look-alike contest in order to win the needed cash. Lucy puts makeup on Chuck and suggests what he should wear. He reappears dressed in his cowboy outfit and Elle laughed and said, “He looks silly in that makeup and costume!” Of course the roles of both Chuck and Robert Goulet are played by the famous actor. Every guest star she had on her show always loved her. Lucy had great chemistry with Frankie Avalon, John
Wayne, Jacques Bergerac, Robert Goulet and so many other actors on the set. Her episodes with Carol Burnett were keepers, too. My family and I saw the one where Lucy decides to get a roommate so that she can split her rent and monthly bills in half. She put an ad in the newspaper and several people responded. Lucy didn’t want a roommate named “Irving” so she chose Carol Bradford, a college graduate who works as a librarian. At first Lucy and Carol seem mismatched. Lucy is friendly and outgoing. Carol is introverted and prefers to spend all of her free time reading books. Or going to the library after hours. “One is open until 10 p.m.,” she tells Lucy. Lucy invites some male friends over so they can all have a pizza party. The music plays, the guests start dancing, and both Lucy and Carol end up dancing all around the living room. At one point Lucy tosses the goldfish in his bowl across to Carol and she makes a good catch. My nephew, Nick, found that especially funny. Avery thought it was hysterical when Carol, the librarian, kept wearing black eyeglasses even though there were no lenses in them. Carol said that she thought the eyeglasses made her look more dignified. I told my young relatives that in the
old days good comedy wasn’t just a matter of telling one liners, that in the 1960s and early 1970s people on TV actually did these song and dance routines. The entertainers had a way of capturing the audience because they were so talented. Lucy genuinely seemed pleased to be able to team up with the various Hollywood stars. Being on “The Lucy Show” was great for veteran actors and actresses as well as people just starting out in the entertainment field. Lucy’s boss on the show, Theodore J. Mooney, acts as a comic foil to Lucy. He is often short tempered, dictatorial and tight fisted. Mooney was the president of the local bank in Lucy Carmichael’s fictional hometown of Danfield, Calif. In real life Theodore J. Mooney was Gale Gordon whose actual name was Charles Thomas Aldrich, Jr. He was born in New York City in 1906 and when he was young his family moved to England for several years. Then they moved back to the U.S. and eventually he got into show business. After he and his wife Virginia married, they bought 150 acres of land in Borrego Springs, Calif. Gordon did much of the construction of the house and his art studio himself. He also built and restored his own furniture on the property and used the land to become one of the few commercial carob growers in the U.S. (Carob is a brown floury

powder extracted from the carob bean, used as a substitute for chocolate.) Gale Gordon died in 1995. Lucille Ball was born in Jamestown, N.Y., in 1911. After high school she went to New York City and attended the John Murray Anderson School for the Dramatic Arts where Bette Davis was a fellow student. Lucy didn’t like drama school so she got into modeling. With her acting ability she soon got parts on Broadway then in 1933 she moved to Hollywood, Calif. The rest is history. For years Lucy was the “Queen of Comedy.” With her former husband, Desi Arnaz, Lucy had two children, Lucie Arnaz and Desi Arnaz, Jr. She married comedian Gary Morton in 1961. Lucille Ball died in Los Angeles in 1989 at the age of 77. By the age of 12, Lucy knew that she loved being on stage. About being a comedian Lucy once said, “I don’t know how to tell a joke. I never tell jokes. I can tell stories that happened to me … anecdotes. But never a joke.” We all knew how funny Lucy was and my nieces and nephews sure got a kick out of watching those reruns. My youngest relatives danced all around whenever Lucy did and they laughed at all of her punchlines. We could see how much Lucy enjoyed mugging for the camera - and for the audience in front of her.

They also detail the next phase in the Memorial’s carving which is focused on Crazy Horse’s left hand and arm, the top of Crazy Horse’s head, his hairline, and the horse’s mane. If you stand in just the right spot, you can line up the model of how the finished work will look against the actual mountain sculpture as it is. Crazy Horse Memorial is actually a private, nonprofit (they also have a nonprofit college and medical training center that educates Indians), and twice turned down federal funding because “they didn’t believe the government would do it right.” Indeed, Mount Rushmore (which we see on the last day of our bike tour) was never completed because the federal government stopped funding the project.

Once again, I am so grateful that I am not being pushed along with an artificial time limit by the Wilderness Voyageurs guides, I wander through the vast complex trying to take it all in. I am utterly fascinated. I buy postcards for 25c apiece and stamps, sit with a (free) cup of coffee in the cafe and mail them at their tiny post-office. There is an excellent gift shop. The Crazy Horse Memorial is open 365 days of the year, with various seasonal offerings. (Crazy Horse Memorial, 12151 Avenue of the Chiefs, Crazy Horse, SD, 605-6734681, crazyhorsememorial.org.) I’m the last one to leave the Crazy Horse Memorial, and note that the bike of our sweeper guide for today John Buehlhorn, is still on the rack, but I figure he will see that I have gone and catch up to me, so I get back on the Mickelson Trail. He catches me again when I don’t realize to get off the trail at Hill City, where we are on our own for lunch and exploring the town. Hill City is really charming and the home of the South Dakota State Railroad
Museum, where you can take a ride on an old-time steam railroad. The shops are really pleasant. The Wilderness Voyageurs van is parked there in case anybody needs anything. The ride to the Crazy Horse Memorial was uphill on the rail trail for 8 miles but going down hill isn’t a picnic because of the loose gravel – but not difficult and totally enjoyable. We ride through train tunnels and over trestles. It is no wonder that the 109-mile long Mickelson Trail, which is a centerpiece of the Wilderness Voyageurs’ tour, is one of 30 rail-trails to have been named to the Hall of Fame by Rails-to-Trails Conservancy We finish this day’s ride at Mystic at the 74.7-mile marker– we’ll ride the remaining miles on another day. Mystic used to be a significant town when the railroad ran here. Now there are just two buildings and four residents. I notice the sign tacked up at the shelter: Be Aware: Mountain Lions spotted on the trail toward Rochford within the last few days.

Rails-to-Trails Conservancy Urges Congress to Pass ‘Connecting America’s Active Transportation System’ Act A new bill in Congress will, if passed, enable communities across America to connect their trails, sidewalks and bikeways to the places that people want to go – by bike or walking - within and between communities. The Connecting America’s Active Transportation System Act, co-sponsored by Reps. Jared Huffman (Calif.-2), Daniel Lipinski (Ill.-3) and Chris Pappas (N.H.-1), will provide $500 million in direct funding annually to help communities and regions across the country build connected active-transportation systems to ensure people can get where they want to go safely by foot, bike or wheelchair. This proposal, coupled with increases in funding for Transportation Alternatives and the Recreational Trails Program, would provide critical resources for communities to build safe, convenient and accessible places for people to walk, bike and roll.
Rails-to-Trails Conservancy’s top policy priority is to create this game-changing opportunity to build a trail and active transportation system to serve the nation. “Our research has found that wise investments in connecting trails, sidewalks, bikeways and other active transportation systems are creating returns of more than $34 billion in health, environmental and economic benefits around the country,” said Kevin Mills, Rails-to-Trails Vice President of Policy. “And that return could even be quadrupled as more communities have the opportunity to connect their active transportation systems. “People across the country want to be able to safely walk and bike where they need to go. The Connecting America’s Active Transportation System Act is a major leap forward because it would reshape federal transportation law to recognize that communities nationwide need
safe, connected trail and active-transportation networks. “Urge your representative to sign on to the Connecting America’s Active Transportation System Act.” See more at railstotrails.org.

o after several months and a multitude of viewings of homes, you have finally found your first starter, or move up or at last, your amazing dream home. You put an offer in. The other party asks for your prequalification letter or proof of funds. You aren’t paying outright for your purchase, so proof of funds isn’t as critical (but many times some listing agents will want you to show proof that you have the “out of pocket” money as well as your lender’s letter showing your qualified and approved for a mortgage, pending your appraisal for the final written commitment. You immediately call your mortgage person on their office number; but it’s Friday after 5pm and he or she is gone for the day and you don’t have their cell, because either they didn’t provide it to you (which they should have in advance) and you didn’t ask for it, which you should have done at your first conversation! Your offer was excepted pending that most important lender’sletter of your pre-qualification. Your mortgage person doesn’t call you back until Monday (not the most action oriented lender whatsoever) and you finally receive the letter. You now have that most important document you then forward over to the listing agent or your agent that is representing you and then call them too. To your dismay and sadness, someone else has also put an offer in and
BY PHILIP A. RAICES because they were more prepared, they ended up getting not only the agreed and accept-ed but the inspection was completed on Sunday, the day before your lender received your call about your much needed, prequalification letter. I have seen the unfortunate situation so, so many times in the past (I had learned the hard way 25 years ago how crucial that letter is right up front, because I too had lost a sale due to my client not having that most critical piece of paper in their possess-ion as well as my own copy for our records. Well never again did that ever happen, because I began to understand that “if you snooze or your client snoozes, they lose and so do you!” So I began to make sure to convey to everyone (as well as outside agents who were showing my properties) the necessity of having that oh so important piece of paper; especially at the time of placing an offer. All those days and months of showing to end of losing a deal for your client as well as a very lucrative commission check; for what? Because you or your agent didn’t ask for a very simple document that would have made your sale happen. The pain that occurs is sometimes very psychologically dis-
appointing and depressing, especially when today the inventory is less than optimum (< than 5.4 months and normal inventory as I have said in previous columns is 6-7 months) and many buyers are still very picky and sometimes have specific, “needs and wants.” So to lose that one home that you finally “fell in love” with due to a single piece of paper is heart breaking and sad for not only the purchaser but for the agent too, especially if it is a new agent who hasn’t completed a transaction yet or it may have been several months since their last deal. This could have been prevented if everyone knew what to ask for in advance of presenting their offers! This is why training and constant mentoring is so crucial, especially for a new “green” or fairly new agents who need to be coddled and groomed to become strong producers. It is tantamount to their path to success in earning an excellent living. The real problem is that many who earn their licenses do not grasp the gravity of what they have to do in this or any business, when so many have come from or are still in a job position. Of the approximately 1, 400,000 realtors in the U.S. almost half have jobs
and most cannot perform this business full time. But then again, if many learned how to treat the real estate business like a real business, would they really need a job? Probably not! However, there are exceptions to those who are fortunate enough to have been able to grow their pensions over the years, so those individuals could not jump ship until the time would be right, it’s called retirement! I believe in general, due to the lack of proper training and mentoring, by both agent and brokerages, this contributes to a greater than normal dropout rate after the first and second years! But then again, many think and believe that the road is paved with gold; yes, if they work smart and work very hard, it surely is! Treat it like a business and it will pay you like a business; but treat it like a second job or ancillary income and that is all you will receive. Philip A.

Well, That’s a Star of a Different Color! BY DENNIS MAMMANA
One of the most visible stellar personality traits lies in a star’s color. One thing I’ve learned from helping stargazers lo these many years is that beginners often have some deeply ingrained mis-
conceptions. Many think that the moon can be seen only at night and never in the daytime; others believe that the Big Dipper or
the Milky Way is always visible in the sky. Still others think we see the stars as they appear now rather than centuries ago. One of the most common misconceptions I’ve heard is this: “If you’ve seen one star, you’ve seen ‘em all.” This is a pretty understandable perspective; after all, stars appear simply as points of light. How different could they possibly be? Well, ask an experienced skywatcher and they’ll tell you that no two stars are exactly alike. Each displays its own personality in a number of ways. One of the most visible stellar personality traits lies in a star’s color. Many people don’t notice this immediately because the human eye is not capable of perceiving color under low light conditions. We know this to be true if we’ve ever looked around a relatively dark room; shapes and shades of gray are easy to spot, but colors are virtually nonexistent. Turn the lights on, however, and we find that we’re surrounded by vibrant colors. When gazing skyward at night, we discover that colors of even
the brightest stars -- if we can see them at all -- are quite subtle. Younger eyes tend to see these better than older eyes. Binoculars or telescopes capture more light than the human eye, so we can use them to help make star color a bit more obvious. A great place to start our search for stellar color is within the great constellation of Orion, the hunter. For sky viewers north of the Earth’s equator at this time of year, Orion stands majestically high in the southeastern sky after dark; if you’re south of the equator, however, it appears high in the northeast. Orion’s large vertical rectangle of four bright stars forms the hunter’s shoulders and knees; at its center lie three stars that form a nearly straight line -- the belt of the brawny hunter. The star marking Orion’s northeastern corner (the shoulder) is known as Betelgeuse, a word that comes from an Arabic phrase that means “armpit of the giant.” Though it has grown fainter over the past few months (see last week’s column), this aging red supergiant star glows
with an orange light that is still easy to see. At the opposite corner (in the hunter’s knee) lies sparkling Rigel, another supergiant that displays a slightly bluish-white color. Star colors are more than just a curiosity; they tell us something about stellar temperatures. While our sun glows with a surface temperature of around 10,000 degrees F, reddish-orange stars like Betelgeuse are relatively cool (6,300 F). Bluish-white stars like Rigel, on the other hand, are tremendously hot (18,000 F); they can burn this furiously for only a relatively short time and therefore must be much younger than the sun. After you’ve spotted these two fine examples, aim binoculars around the sky to see how many more colorful stars you can see. Visit Dennis Mammana at facebook.com/DennisMammana.

9 Easy Ways to Slash the Grocery Bill BY MARY HUNT Have you ever noticed how easy it is to cruise up and down the grocery store aisle, filling your basket with everything that looks good? Sure, it’s kinda fun -- but oh, so expensive! Worse, you get home with absolutely nothing to fix for dinner. I hate when that happens! But not to worry. Check out these 10 easy ways to keep food costs in check from my friends, fans and followers! Then join us at EverydayCheapskate.com, where you can join in the fun! SHOP AT HOME FIRST Before you head to the grocery store, take a quick tour of your pantry, freezer and fridge. It’s maddening to buy more of what you already have but simply forgot! DON’T SHOW UP HUNGRY If you walk into any food store absolutely starving to death, there is no end to the bad choices you will make! Everything will look
good. But what if you’re on your way home from work and didn’t have time to eat lunch? Head for the bakery or produce section to get a cookie or banana. That should be enough to put your outof-control impulses back in check. TRY GROCERY PICK UP Most major grocery stores now offer pickup service -- sometimes for no fee at all. What a great option! You can “shop” at home on stores’ websites, taking your time and getting the exact brand and size you need. You can use coupons, see exactly what’s on sale, save your cart and change your mind before you finally check out. Picking up groceries precludes all of those impulsive buys we make while wandering up and down aisles and standing in line to check out. SHOP SOLO It’s easy enough to get distracted and off track at the supermarket without adding children to the
shopping trip. You’ll be more focused and make better choices if you shop solo and get in and out in the shortest time possible. BUY THE SALES Grocery stores are notorious for their weekly sales, and some of the best sales are always in the meat department. Stop paying full price for meat, poultry or fish. Buy what’s on sale! Make it a rule and watch your food bill plummet. LEARN THE SALES CYCLES Let your inner detective have some fun by learning the supermarket’s sales cycles. Hint: Every food store works on a 12-week cycle. That means that once every three months, something in every category in the store is on sale. Start paying attention to when your favorite items go on sale and how much the price drops. Keep track in a price book you carry with you. It won’t take long to get really good at predicting when things you buy regularly will be
on sale. GROW YOUR OWN A sunny windowsill is all you need to grow your own herbs year round, no matter where you live. You can stop paying a fortune to buy fresh herbs like basil, chives, rosemary and thyme in the produce department. BUY IN SEASON Walk into any supermarket produce department and you can know exactly what’s in season. Look at the signs and prices. If the price is low, you can be sure it’s in season. It makes sense, right? Pay attention; load up on apples in the fall, stone fruit in the summer. And so on. SHOP WITH CASH You’ve created a food budget; now take only that amount of cash to the supermarket -- no checkbook, debit or credit cards; no Apple Pay or other stand-in for real money. Only cash. It’s
not easy, but, boy, will you save money! You will study every price, calculating and recalculating what you have in your basket. The reward for your diligence will be slashing your grocery bill. You’ll skip impulse items. You’ll be more willing to try generic brands. You’ll get really good at not overbuying, too. Would you like more information?

Charles Campagne students learn about Native American history
Fourth-grade students from Charles Campagne Elementary school participated in a program provided by the Long Island Center for Arts and Science about Long Island Native Americas on Dec. 13.
As part of a program about Long Island Native Americans, fourth grade students from Charles Campagne Elementary school created traditional pinch pots on Dec. 13.
Fourth-grade students from Charles Campagne Elementary school learned about Native American artifacts and history in a program provided by the Long Island Center for Arts and Science on Dec. 13.
Fourth-grade students in Nancy Ponzini’s class at Charles Campagne Elementary School in the Bethpage School District learned about the lives of Native Americans through a program sponsored by the Long Island Center for Arts and Sciences on Dec. 13. The program corresponded with the fourth grade social studies curriculum and revolved around teaching students about the lifestyles of Native Americans on Long Island. Long Island Center for Arts and Science representative Lynn Quigley brought different artifacts and tools for the students to identify and
learn their purpose. The students then created a Native American pinch pot. Pinch pots are created from clay and get their name by the tactic of using one’s thumbs to form a small bowl. Traditionally, the pinch pots were embellished with things found in nature like corn kernels and bird seeds. Charles Campagne students did the same. After the clay dried, the students were able to take the piece home with them to remind them of the important history lesson. Photos courtesy of the Bethpage Union Free School District

However, such tax liens shall
have priority over the County’s Differential Interest Lien, representing the excess, if any, of the interest and penalty borne at the maximum rate over the interest and penalty borne at the rate at which the lien is purchased. The Purchaser acknowledges that the tax lien(s) sold pursuant to these Terms of Sale may be subject to pending bankruptcy proceedings and/or may become subject to such proceedings which may be commenced during the period in which a lien is held by a successful bidder or the assignee of same, which may modify a Purchaser’s rights with respect to the lien(s) the property securing same. Such bankruptcy proceedings shall not affect the validity of the tax lien. In addition to being subject to pending bankruptcy proceedings and/or the Federal and State Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Civil Relief Acts, said purchaser’s right of foreclosure may be affected by the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act (FIRREA), 12 U.S.C. ss 1811 et. seq., with regard to real property under Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) receivership. The County Treasurer reserves the right, without further notice and at any time, to withdraw from sale any of the parcels of land or premises herein listed. The rate of interest and penalty which any person purchases the tax lien shall be established by his bid. Each purchaser, immediately after the sale thereof, shall pay to the County Treasurer ten percent of the amount from which the tax liens have been sold and the remaining ninety percent within thirty days after such sale. If the purchaser at the tax sale shall fail to pay the remaining ninety percent within ten days after he has been notified by the County Treasurer that the certificates of sale are ready for delivery, then all deposited with the County Treasurer including but not limited to the ten percent theretofore paid by him shall, without further notice or demand, be irrevocably forfeited by the purchaser and shall be retained by the County Treasurer as liquidated damages and the agreement to purchase be of no further effect. Time is of the essence in this sale. This sale is held pursuant to the Nassau County Administrative Code and interested parties are referred to such Code for additional information as to terms of sale, rights of purchasers, maximum rates of interest and other legal incidents of the sale. Furthermore, as to the bidding,
1. The bidder(s) agree that they will not work with any other bidder(s) to increase, maintain or stabilize interest rates or collaborate with any other bidder(s) to gain an unfair competitive advantage in the random number generator in the event of a tie bid(s) on a tax certificate. Bidder(s) further agree not to employ any bidding strategy designed to create an unfair competitive advantage in the tiebreaking process in the upcoming tax sale nor work with any other bidder(s) to engage in any bidding strategy that will result in a rotational award of tax certificates. 2. The tax certificate(s) the Bidder will bid upon, and the interest rate(s) bid, will be arrived at independently and without direct or indirect consultation, communication or agreement with any other bidder and that the tax certificate(s) the Bidder will bid upon, and the interest rate(s) to be bid, have not been disclosed, directly or indirectly, to any other bidder, and will not be disclosed, directly or indirectly, to any other bidder prior to the close of bidding. No attempt has been made or will be made to, directly or indirectly, induce any other bidder to refrain from bidding on any tax certificate, to submit complementary bids, or to submit bids at specific interest rates. 3. The bids to be placed by the Bidder will be made in good faith and not pursuant to any direct or indirect, agreement or discussion with, or inducement from, any other bidder to submit a complementary or other noncompetitive bid. 4. If it is determined that the bidder(s) have violated any of these bid requirements then their bid shall be voided and if they were the successful bidder the lien and any deposits made, in connection with, said bid shall be forfeited.

However, such tax liens shall have priority over the County’s Differential Interest Lien, representing the excess, if any, of the interest and penalty borne at the maximum rate over the interest and penalty borne at the rate at which the lien is purchased. The Purchaser acknowledges that the tax lien(s) sold pursuant to these Terms of Sale may be subject to pending bankruptcy proceedings and/or may become subject to such proceedings which may be commenced during the period in which a lien is held by a successful bidder or the assignee of same, which may modify a Purchaser’s rights with respect to the lien(s) the property securing same. Such bankruptcy proceedings shall not affect the validity of the tax lien. In addition to being subject
to pending bankruptcy proceedings and/or the Federal and State Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Civil Relief Acts, said purchaser’s right of foreclosure may be affected by the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act (FIRREA), 12 U.S.C. ss 1811 et. seq., with regard to real property under Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) receivership. The County Treasurer reserves the right, without further notice and at any time, to withdraw from sale any of the parcels of land or premises herein listed. The rate of interest and penalty which any person purchases the tax lien shall be established by his bid. Each purchaser, immediately after the sale thereof, shall pay to the County Treasurer ten percent of the amount from which the tax liens have been sold and the remaining ninety percent within thirty days after such sale. If the purchaser at the tax sale shall fail to pay the remaining ninety percent within ten days after he has been notified by the County Treasurer that the certificates of sale are ready for delivery, then all deposited with the County Treasurer including but not limited to the ten percent theretofore paid by him shall, without further notice or demand, be irrevocably forfeited by the purchaser and shall be retained by the County Treasurer as liquidated damages and the agreement to purchase be of no further effect. Time is of the essence in this sale. This sale is held pursuant to the Nassau County Administrative Code and interested parties are referred to such Code for additional information as to terms of sale, rights of purchasers, maximum rates of interest and other legal incidents of the sale. Furthermore, as to the bidding, 1. The bidder(s) agree that they will not work with any other bidder(s) to increase, maintain or stabilize interest rates or collaborate with any other bidder(s) to gain an unfair competitive advantage in the random number generator in the event of a tie bid(s) on a tax certificate. Bidder(s) further agree not to employ any bidding strategy designed to create an unfair competitive advantage in the tiebreaking process in the upcoming tax sale nor work with any other bidder(s) to engage in any bidding strategy that will result in a rotational award of tax certificates. 2. The tax certificate(s) the Bidder will bid upon, and the interest rate(s) bid, will be arrived at independently and
without direct or indirect consultation, communication or agreement with any other bidder and that the tax certificate(s) the Bidder will bid upon, and the interest rate(s) to be bid, have not been disclosed, directly or indirectly, to any other bidder, and will not be disclosed, directly or indirectly, to any other bidder prior to the close of bidding. No attempt has been made or will be made to, directly or indirectly, induce any other bidder to refrain from bidding on any tax certificate, to submit complementary bids, or to submit bids at specific interest rates. 3. The bids to be placed by the Bidder will be made in good faith and not pursuant to any direct or indirect, agreement or discussion with, or inducement from, any other bidder to submit a complementary or other noncompetitive bid. 4. If it is determined that the bidder(s) have violated any of these bid requirements then their bid shall be voided and if they were the successful bidder the lien and any deposits made, in connection with, said bid shall be forfeited.

Hicksville HS student wins first place in essay contest Congratulations to Hicksville High School junior Maeryam Nasari, who won first place in the Nassau County Voice of Democracy audio essay contest, “What Makes America Great,” sponsored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars. She also finished as the runner-up in the regional leg of the competition, which included submissions from several Long Island school districts. Maeryam’s essay was first submitted to local VFW Post 3211 and was selected as the best among Hicksville High School entrants. Hicksville High School’s Jonas Edgarov and Alisha Shah won second and third place, respectively. In February, William M. Gouse Jr. of VFW Post 3211 will recognize these students, as well as Hicksville Middle School’s Patriot Penn Essay winners, a contest also sponsored by the VFW. Dylan Seemangal, Hannah Lee and Barbara Maria Croce won first, second and third place, respectively.

Carcinogen in Levittown well From page 1 New York state regulations, they performed water testing samples at the end of 2019 to establish a baseline and to be proactive against more stringent upcoming regulations proposed by the state. “We are currently in compliance with the federal and state regulations as well as the EPA’s regulations which have much less stringent standards than the state,” said Mueller. “We are just trying to be proactive in testing all of our water supplies for the presence of these compounds.” The well in Roosevelt was taken offline in October and there are no plans to return it to service. The well at Seamans Neck was not taken offline, however, because the water supply in that area is heavily supported by that system.
“The well is located on the northern side of the Southern State Parkway and is the only well to supply water to that particular area,” said Mueller. “We encourage our customers to conserve water so that less water gets extracted from that well.” She added that the company is working on increasing pumping connections from the southern portion of that system so water can be brought in from other nearby sources. There are currently plans in the works for the designing and engineering for new treatment technologies to aid in the removal of 1,4-dioxane from the well. “We’re currently working with the New York State Department of Health on an advanced oxidation process treatment system to help coun-

teract this environmental concern,” said Mueller. Mueller said that even though NY American Water did not create this problem, the company does not want to put its customers in a position where they have to be financially responsible for it. She said there is active litigation ongoing in the federal court system to hold those responsible for the manufacturing of products containing VOCs, and that the company has partnered with the United States Navy to pay for construction of a VOC removal system at the Seamans Neck location. “We are hopeful that this will be expanded to include the treatment of 1,4-dioxane as well,” said Mueller.

JOIN PORTLEDGE FOR AN OPEN HOUSE The Portledge School educational philosophy addresses a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal, emotional, social, physical, and intellectual development. This integrative approach empowers students to develop self-awareness through reflection and introspection while recognizing the vital role of guidance and instruction provided by the teacher. A careful balance of support and challenge encourages students to engage with rigorous academics while developing a love of learning and appreciation for knowledge. Students are expected to be self-motivated and collaborative in the learning process, inside and outside the classroom. We aspire for students to develop the ability to think critically about themselves, what they are learning, and the world around them.
