As a result of the settlement, the district will receive $49 million to treat contamination from plumes tied to the Naval Weapons Industrial Reserve Plant and former Grumman site. “We appreciate the good faith negotiations on all sides that led to

Man charged in Court allows pet store to resume two church burglaries offering puppies for sale
BY GARY SIMEONE A Nassau County Supreme Court judge ruled earlier this month that the Shake A Paw pet stores in Hicksville and Lynbrook, can resume selling puppies to customers. The decision comes after the New York State Attorney
General’s office filed lawsuits against the establishment’s late last year, to permanently ban them from selling animals to customers. The ruling, which was made by Justice Helen Voutsinas, dismissed Attorney General Leticia James'
claims that the stores were selling sick animals brought in from ‘puppy mills’ to unsuspecting customers. Richard Hamburger, a defense attorney who represented the pet store, said in a statement, “Justice VoutSee page 14

Nassau County Police have arrested a Patchogue man for allegedly burglarizing St. Ignatius Church on December 28, 2021. According to Second Squad detectives, on that date Luke Wigutow, 27, pried open the doors of the church and entered. They say he used a screwdriver to pry open a second set of interior doors but was unsuccessful in entering the main structure of the building. However, they say the damages to the doors he had pried amounted to $30,000. Police say that Wigtow also was responsible for a burglary on December 29, 2021, at Holy Family
Parish Center in Hicksville. There, they say he removed two cash boxes containing an undisclosed amount of currency. Wigtow was charged with Burglary 3rd Degree, Burglary 3rd Degree (Attempt), Criminal Mischief 2nd Degree, Criminal Mischief 3rd Degree and Petit Larceny. Wigutow had been previously arrested on August 23, 2020, for Leaving the Scene of an Auto Accident and Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance 7th Degree. The defendant was issued an Appearance Ticket and did not respond on November 23, 2020.

Town collects pet food, Spring beach cleanup, supplies for needy families marine education expo
Town Supervisor Saladino, Councilman Steve Labriola and Councilwoman Laura Maier proudly partnered with Long Island Cares for their Annual Legislative Pet Food Drive, which took place over the last few weeks and runs through April 15. The drive focused on collecting food for our residents’ pets through Baxter’s Pet Pantry, which supplies free pet food and supplies to pet-owning families in need. Town officials recognized residents for their generosity in donating over 303 lbs of pet food and supplies, which will in turn keep pets at home with their loved ones, well-fed, and out of shelters. For more information about Long Island Cares call (631) 582-3663.
The Town of Oyster Bay invites residents to participate in the Spring Beach Cleanup and Marine Education Expo, scheduled for April 16 at the Town’s north shore beaches. The event, held rain or shine, is co-sponsored by Friends of the Bay. Beach cleanup volunteers – including individuals, groups, families and friends – should meet at Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park (off Larrabee Avenue in Oyster Bay) beginning at 9 a.m. “This great environmental cleanup initiative features volunteers and Town employees rolling up their sleeves and working side-by-side to remove litter and debris from the beaches and shoreline along our north shore,” Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino said. “We invite residents of all ages to pitch in and help make a difference in our community! This year’s event will also feature new activities, exhibitions and a scavenger hunt for kids.” Volunteers are invited to participate in the cleanup, which will run from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. The central meeting place will be Theodore Roosevelt Memorial
Park launching ramps and waterfront gazebo off of Larrabee Avenue, Oyster Bay. Additional locations for the cleanup include Theodore Roosevelt Beach in Oyster Bay, Stehli Beach in Bayville and Centre Island Beach in Bayville. In prior years, beach cleanup events have resulted in 40,000lbs of debris collected by volunteers. Town Councilwoman Vicki Walsh stated, “Each year, countless amounts of paper, food, plastics and other trash are discarded on beaches or dumped overboard from recreational and commercial vessels. Allowing this litter to remain on our shorelines will only lead to increasingly worse damage for the environment. Together, we’re improving Mother Earth by cleaning up and protecting our environment.” No pre-registration is required.

Hicksville Middle School Drama Club presented Disney’s “Descendants,” the musical production that includes all of Disney’s favorite heroes and heroines living in peace and happily ever after, while all Disney’s evil villains are banished to the Isle of the Lost. The production included more than 50 actors, musicians and crew of students in grades 6, 7 and 8. Students performed to a live audience on March 17, 18 and 19. The show started with the song “Better Together” followed by several more to include “Good is the New Bad,” “Ways to be Wicked,” and “Be Our Guest.” The production concluded with the entire company performing “Break This Down.” Some recognizable characters among the large cast included Maleficent, Cruella de Vil and Snow White.
Hicksville Middle School Principal Mara Jorisch stated, “This production was especially significant for the cast and crew who were part of the production of 2020’s middle school play Shrek, as sixth graders at that time were not able to perform due to the pandemic. Little did we know it would be two years later until they were able to perform in front of an audience again.” Jorisch praised the students for an incredible job and is happy to welcome back so many wonderful traditions at the middle school! The performances were complemented by the skilled efforts of the crew. Congratulations to director, choreographer and set designer Mr. DePalo, co-vocals and musical directors Ms. Haddock and Ms. Donnelly.

Water district conducts leak detection survey As part of its ongoing efforts to conserve its community’s vital drinking water resource, the Hicksville Water District (HWD) has implemented an acoustical water main leak detection survey program, which is performed on a third of the District’s distribution system each year. This spring’s program will run from April 4 to April 15 in the northeast section of the District, which is north of Woodbury Road and east of Miller Road to South Oyster Bay Road. “Leaks in our distribution system can easily go undetected since they
are located underneath the surface,” said HWD Chairman Nicholas Brigandi. “The District is responsible for making sure that water is not wasted on its way to our residents’ homes, making the repair of leaks an essential part of our infrastructure upkeep. We are fortunate enough to have a wealth of advanced equipment and technology that help us detect leaks with next to no disturbances for our community.” A leak detection survey is a physical evaluation of a water system to proactively identify specific leaks which may be invisible on the
surface. The process for identifying a leak involves the use of a listening device which emits sounds waves to pinpoint the source of a leak within the distribution system, whether they be in a pipe or a fitting. The program has the opportunity to save a significant amount of water and money. By identifying subsurface leaks, the District is able to make smaller, cheaper repairs before they become more major issues, such as a water main break. Most of the work will be performed during the night by a District contractor. This is when
water use is at its lowest, making leaks easier to detect. The special acoustical equipment used by the contractor does not generate any noise. Contractors will be wearing personal protective equipment and will carry proper identification at all times. Residents can contact the District office at 516-931-0184 or at info@ hicksvillewater.org should they have any questions or require any additional information.

Seniors Michael Khalfin (engineering), Danielle Brenner (behavioral and social sciences), Jennifer Zhu (physics), Dara Neumann (behavioral and social sciences), Tarunika Sasikumar (environmental sciences), and Olivia Schmidt (behavioral and social sciences) were chosen to give 12-minute presentations before a panel of judges and an audience of their peers based on the excellence of their submitted research papers. Each paper was reviewed and evaluated by college faculty and practicing scientists and engineers in the various scientific domains. After competing at the semifinalist round, both Dara and Jennifer won first place in their individual scientific categories and were chosen to present at the regional finalists’ round. After an additional round of presentations, Dara was named national finalist and chosen to be part of the Long Island delegation of five student researchers to represent the region at the 60th Annual National JSHS on April 20-23, 2022, which will be held in Albuquerque, NM. There, she will present her work to members of the research arm of the Department of Defense and will have the opportunity to engage with DoD researchers, laboratories, and related STEM organizations and professionals.
From left: Michael Khalfin, Danielle Brenner, Jennifer Zhu, Dara Neumann, Tarunika Sasikumar and Oliva Schmidt were named semifinalists in the Junior Science and Humanities Symposium. Jennifer and Dara would go on to become regional finalists. Dara’s project is titled, “A Novel Evaluation of Current Psychiatric Treatment Paradigms Involving Polypharmacy via Resting-State Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) in a Sample of Patients with Bipolar I Disorder.” Her study looked at psychiatric pharmacology through a neuroscience lens and attempted to better understand the alarmingly high rates of inadequate treatment across all mental illnesses—specifically bipolar disorder. Dara said her project was inspired by a close family member who suffers from a treatment-resistant form of the disorder. Through her research, she is hoping to find better treatments, and hopefully, be a part of the next generation of scientists studying it. She used fMRI scans to examine whether a specific type of psychiatric
treatment that employs the simultaneous use of multiple medications—or polypharmacy—is supported by neuroscientific evidence. Her results demonstrate how the lack of integration between clinical psychiatry and neuroscience has caused flaws in the current treatment paradigm. Her study proposes an explanation for the high rates of inadequate treatment, and most importantly, reveals methods for transforming the psychiatric field to be more evidence-based and individually-optimized. Dara conducted her novel research in-house, as a part of the AP Capstone and Social Science Research program under the supervision of Raymond Tesar, POBJFK’s lead research coordinator. Dara said recognition by the JSHS judges of her research was encouraging, not just for herself but for those suffering
Dara was named a national finalist for her research into treatment of people with bipolar disorder from bipolar disorder, as well as other psychological ailments. “It's definitely very assuring for the future of this field, and it’s definitely a field I’m going into when I enter college and beyond,” she said. “It makes me confident in the future of this research and my role in it.” JSHS aims to prepare and support students to contribute as future scientists and engineers and giving them the chance to conduct STEM research on behalf of or directly for the Department of Defense, the Federal research laboratories, or for the greater good in advancing the nation's scientific and technological progress. The symposium is a collaborative effort with the research arm of the Department of Defense and administered in cooperation with nationwide colleges and universities.

Court allows pet store to resume offering puppies for sale From page 1 sinas dismissed outright the Attorney Generals unfounded claims that Shake A Paw handled puppies in an inhumane manner so as to cause any of them physical injury or harm. The judge said there was no evidence to support these allegations and that Shake A paw had presented overwhelming documentary evidence, including multiple New York State and Humane Society inspections, which prove to the contrary.” In December of last year, the Attorney General’s office filed claims that the stores were knowingly deceiving customers by selling sick animals that were transported from out of state puppy mills instead of legitimate breeders. At the time, the Attorney General made the claim that important information about the pets health was being withheld from consumers and that the stores purposefully doctored health certificates and lied about animals breed-
ing status. In a statement made in December of last year, James said, “when New Yorkers purchased puppies from Shake A Paw, they did not expect to bring home dogs in such heartbreaking and horrifying conditions. Today we are holding them accountable for their unlawful and inhumane actions by filing a lawsuit to permanently ban the company from selling puppies any longer, as well as to recoup what customers paid. Animal mistreatment is despicable and will not be tolerated.” Hamburger at the time called the filings, “ hasty and reckless,” and said that the judge’s recent decision is a vindication for the pet store operation. “Justice Voutsinas decision is a vindication for Shake A Paw. The court recognized that Shake A Paw’s business was being destroyed by the reckless and unjustified demands of the Attorney General to block the purchase of puppies for resale “

For International Destinations, Responsible Tourism, Sustainability is Becoming Second Nature BY KAREN RUBIN TRAVEL FEATURES SYNDICATE GOINGPLACESFARANDNEAR.COM There was little discussion at the New York Travel Show of how Russia’s brutal war in Ukraine will impact international travel beyond emphatic sympathy for Ukraine and a speech by a representative from Ukraine’s consul in New York. Such conflict is antithetical to the overarching mission of international travel – to promote respect, understanding and humanize other people and cultures in the furtherance of peace. Indeed, every international traveler becomes an “ambassador” forging relations and mutual understanding, which they bring back to their home towns (and often to elected representatives). International destinations and travel companies are seeing unleashed pent-up demand for exploring outside one’s borders as COVID restrictions are being lifted and concerns lessened with the availability of vaccines, testing and treatments. If anything, the coronavirus pandemic elevated a respect and appreciation for globalism, and intensified the desire to connect with other people. Travelers are resilient and will gravitate to a place or experience that satisfies their wanderlust. After all, it is a big world and the risk/ reward calculation has balanced in favor of human connection, personal growth and getting out there. The experience of the past two years also heightened the need – and provided the space to further develop - the trend toward sustainability on the part of destinations and respon-
Arriving in Porec, Croatia, at the end of an eight-day self-guided bike tour that started in Venice. Americans are discovering the diversity and cultural richness of Croatia’s more than 1200 islands and history that goes back to 6000 BC. Americans are keen to travel abroad after two years of isolation and looking to destinations that practice Responsible Tourism and sustainability. © Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com sible travel on the part of travelers. Destinations whose economy depends significantly on tourism are encouraging travelers to explore more of their country in order to maximize the benefits of tourism while minimizing the adverse impacts. Sustainability and Responsible Tourism have become second-nature, part of the fabric especially for destinations emerging on the international stage. At the New York Travel Show, we heard from four: Israel, Croatia, Dominican Republic and Colombia at a panel, “International Travel: It’s Time to See the World!” moderated by Jackie Friedman, President of Nexion, a travel advisor network. What is something travelers don’t know about your destination? ”People think Columbia is far away, but it closer than you think,”
said Maria J. Abuabara Brulhart, Director of Tourism, ProColombia. “Eight carriers from 10 gateways fly to Colombia. It’s a very competitive market so prices are competitive. Don’t postpone a trip to Colombia.” “Israel is the gateway to Middle East,” said Chad Martin, Director, Northeast Region, Israel Ministry of Tourism. ‘People forget we are a Mediterranean country, with 200 km of Mediterranean coastline. There’s more access by air than ever before all the US legacy carriers fly nonstop from more than one gateway - 10 gateways – there’s never before been this connectivity. And there is no more meaningful destination. After being all locked up during COVID, in Israel, you connect with yourself, your faith. Israelis are excited to meet with you. “Dominican Republic is known for its beaches, but our tourism

product is very diverse,” reflected Enrique Penson, representing the Tourism Ministry. “We have the highest mountain in the Caribbean, you can surf a sand dune, get married in a colonial cathedral (as I did). Dominican Republic is a place that has it all.” “Croatia consists of more than 1200 islands in the heart of Europe small but diverse,” remarked Dr. Iva Bahunek, CEO of Croatian National Tourism Board, Los Angeles Office. We can offer anything your heart desires - a ski destination, lakes and rivers, fresh and salt water (2nd in Europe for water). Sustainability practices in hospitality has been our tradition for decades. Last year, new direct flights were introduced from New York to Dubrovnik on Delta and United. What is a ‘must see’ attraction? Penson: My personal favorite in Dominican Republic: Picture yourself in the middle of Samana Bay in a cozy boat. A humpback whale fin comes up, waves and goes away, a baby humpback comes along. From January through March, humpback whales raise babies in this UNESCOprotected spot. It’s a unique, must-do in the Dominican Republic. Brulhart: Colombia has turned 5 geopolitical regions into 6 tourism regions to make travel smarter, more sustainable, so travel would spread from the mainstream destinations - so communities would see the beneficial impact of this powerful industry. There is not one corner of Colombia in which you won’t see biodiversity, cultural diversity and feel welcome, not one corner of the country Continued on next page

For International Destinations, Responsible Tourism, Sustainability is Becoming Second Nature Continued from previous page
in which you won’t be infected by our rhythms (think “Encanto”). Feel the music, taste the flavors. Don’t postpone a trip any longer. Martin: Israel is best known for two cities - Tel Aviv and Jerusalem but north of Israel is the biblical landscape, the Sea of Galilee, the origin of the New Testament and much of the Old Testament. It’s over 4,000 years of history, not just biblical. It’s the Crusades, wineries, greenery. Bahunek: Croatia has a history from 6000 BC – the cradle of Neolithic culture in Europe - wine growing by the Greeks, temples by the Romans; the AustroHungarian Empire built the lighthouses; the Italians were the architect of the 18-20th centuries. Croatia’s local culture is a mixture and blend of the millennia with other cultures – that’s what makes it so attractive. Dubrovnik everyone knows, is the pearl of the Adriatic; Split because of festivals, history. Istria on the Adriatic. The eastern part of Croatia with its thermal spa water has a long tradition of medical tourism, medical spa tourism. More and more travelers are looking for immersive experiences. Recommendations? Martin: Israel: Go outside Tel Aviv and Jerusalem and explore other places. For example, the Roman city of Caesarea, 45 minutes away in our tiny country, has an aqueduct, amphitheater; you can snorkel to see the sunken city
of Caesarea and find the placard with Pontius Pilate’s name. Visit Nazareth, Jesus’ home town, whether because it is your faith or how historically important to humanity. You can have a home-hosted meal at every place. All 10 days you are in Israel, you can connect. Penson: One immersive experience to have in Dominican Republic is chocolate. The country exports some of the best organic cocoa on the planet and you can be a part. You can go to a cocoa plantation, where those who work land are the owners, and be part of experience of taking it out of the ground, its transformation and manufacture to the final product. Bahunek: People want to feel safe, immerse in culture while not being surrounded by many people. So in Croatia, people travel south to Zagreb through the country along the coast to Dubrovnik. On that path, you go through four different regions with different scenery, lakes and rivers, UNESCO-protected sites, Romanesque architecture. Everything you eat and drink is organically grown in Croatia – a tomato tastes like poetry, the wine is different in each region, the olive oil. The Adriatic Sea – calm, not an ocean - is one of cleanest in the world. Every town on the coast has history, culture, ambiance. Brulhart: Coffee is the ultimate immersive experience in Colombia. The ultimate is the Andes (the inspiration of “Encanto” is that coffee region). An immersive experience in Colombia is seeing how that community of coffee
growers hand picks, the 5-time filter process to get to the coffee you taste, seeing how communities make their living. It’s labor intensive work. We also produce cocoa. Also, in Colombia, you see how powerful nature is. We have 314 different ecosystems in one country. You can see 15-20 different species of hummingbirds, and orchids. Sustainable tourism is important for all of us. What are destinations doing to support sustainability? Martin: Israel, by necessity because of limited resources like water and oil, has incorporated sustainability into the very fabric of society, as well as the principles of responsible tourism, so in addition to being a destination sought out for heritage and cultural connections, it is also a destination for travelers interested in seeing sustainable practices integrated into society. Travelers who have sustainability as a top-of-mind value would also be interested to know that Israel recycles 90 percent of its water (the only country that does that), much out of necessity. It has the largest solar power station in world. Israel is entirely off coal – that’s important to the sustainable traveler. We ended the 20th century with more trees than we started with, largely because tourists come with a tradition of planting a tree in Israel in honor of someone. It is how an entire country engages with environment and a sustainable future- not just the travel industry. It’s important to get that message out - travelers should know that about destinations they choose to visit. It
is quintessential about Israel. Bahunek: Because we have had such long history of tourism going back to the end of 18th century, Croatia has integrated sustainability into its cultural heritage. Twelve years ago, the government developed Sustainability certificates for hotels, spas. We have educational programs for tour operators, employees of hotels and spas. Brulhart: In Columbia we believe there is no other kind of tourism than sustainable. Airlines, cruiselines are thinking that way, every tour operator and travel advisor believes in that. We need to educate the traveler to expect and practice sustainability (responsible tourism). Columbia is one of 12 countries with a tourism policy heavily focused on sustainability. A sustainability approach is how you impact communities positively - how money the traveler spends ends up in the community where the experience takes place. People tend to think about remote, rural, vulnerable communities, but behind every tourism business is a story. The travel trade, consumer should all ask, ‘Who am I benefitting.’ Every trip should be meaningful. We hosted the Tourism Cares Summit in Medellin last year- the biggest model of social transformation in the world, a hotbed of innovation, and the most progressive infrastructure. Sustainability is no longer an option. ___________________________________ © 2022 Travel Features Syndicate, a division of Workstyles, Inc. All rights reserved. Visit goingplacesfarandnear.com

...And Then the Dog Died BY TRACY BECKERMAN When my dad made his speech at my wedding 30 years ago, he said, “Life doesn’t begin at 40. It begins when the kids move out and the dog dies.” I’m pretty sure he was talking about his life, not mine, since I had neither kids nor a dog at that point. But he did, and he was apparently thrilled that my husband would be taking me off his hands. Not that I was that much of a burden. But if my kid was all that was standing between me and a trip to Bermuda, I guess I’d want my kid to move out, too. Seeing how elated my father was that his life was about to get significantly better without a dog and kids, I assumed that when my kids moved out and my dog died, I’d be dancing in the streets, too. Fast-forward 30 years. I was somewhat OK when my kids moved out. I was somewhat OK when we sold the house they grew up in.
But when the dog died, I did not feel like going to Bermuda, or even the mall to celebrate the end of my responsibilities. I felt like I’d lost my purpose in life and had no idea what to do with myself without cleaning up dog poop and trying to explain to my dog why socks are not the ideal meal of choice for canines. In truth, I don’t think it was only about the dog dying. I think it was the one-twothree punch of the kids, the house and the dog. That’s when I got a plant. I had never been a big plant person, but when my daughter gifted me a small monstera plant, I poured my life’s energy into making sure that monstera grew up big and strong. All I can say about that is, be careful what you wish for. In my renewed sense of purpose, I somehow didn’t notice the monstera had grown to be five feet wide and four feet tall. It had, in a sense, grown into a person. There is, apparently, a reason the name “monstera” has the word “mon-
ster” in it. Naturally, I didn’t mind this. While I couldn’t pet the monstera or take it for a walk, it did seem to help me deal with all the loss I’d experienced over the past few years. My husband, however, did not seem to be a fan of the behemoth plant that would soon need its own bedroom and place setting at the dinner table. He suggested I cut the plant back, but I refused. I liked the behemoth just the way it was. Then one night, after the monstera tried to push my husband out of bed, my husband hit his limit. “You need to cut that thing back,” he declared. “It’s too big. It’s going to need its own ZIP code soon.” “I like it like it is,” I argued. “It has a stately presence.” “Honey, its stately presence is taking over the apartment,” he said. “It’s either the monstera or me.” I scowled, and then thought for a moment. “OK, fine,” I finally said. “But how
about we get another dog?” Tracy Beckerman is the author of the Amazon Bestseller “Barking at the Moon: A Story of Life, Love, and Kibble,” available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble online! You can visit her at www.tracybeckerman.com. COPYRIGHT 2022 CREATORS

Gathering together with family on Easter Sunday BY CLAIRE LYNCH I remember a few years ago my niece and nephew jumped up and down when my sister Susan and I told them that we were going on a road trip for Easter and that we were celebrating it at their Grandma’s condo in Virginia Beach, Va. They clapped excitedly because there would be an Easter egg hunt for all of the kids in the community at her clubhouse - and that included visitors. Timmy, who was 5 at the time and Karina, who was 4, knew that meant a fun time and they were ready for it. The fact is that I’m always impressed by today’s Easter egg hunts. They are pretty lavish events compared to 40 years ago when we were kids and our parents hid colorful Easter eggs in the back yard for us to find. We would eat those hard-boiled Easter eggs thinking life was pretty good but now the event organizers go all out. At Grandma’s clubhouse plastic Easter eggs are filled with toys and money then strategically placed around the outside grounds of the clubhouse. Someone almost six feet tall had dressed up as the Easter bunny and he was very personable greeting the kids and adults alike. Then when it was time for the Easter egg hunt to begin, the Easter bunny said, “Go!” and all at once the kids scrambled to collect their prizes. In a truly organized fashion, the clubhouse had its annual Easter egg hunt on Holy Saturday at 10 a.m. This allowed everyone to get together then spend the next morning, Easter Sunday, at church in town with their families. Afterwards we gathered at the kids’ grandmother’s place for an Easter dinner of a spiral ham and didn’t have to rush - or to be somewhere else when it was time for our delicious meal. We had our entrée along with mashed potatoes, string beans, corn on the cob, gravy, a green salad and dinner rolls. Our host decorated the ham with some slices of pineapple which made it look even more attractive and taste even better. It was a relaxing weekend for fami-
lies although my young relatives got a bit wound up just thinking about the Easter egg hunt at their Grandma’s clubhouse. She always joins in the fun preparing for the egg hunt meaning she is right there along with the other adults placing toys and money in the plastic eggs. I was pleased to see that she also tucked some jelly beans into the plastic Easter eggs for the kids to find. There’s something truly Easter-ish about eating jelly beans on a holiday in springtime. I told Timmy and Karina the story of how jelly beans came to be associated with Easter Sunday - about how they became a holiday tradition. Jelly beans are found in Easter baskets, in candy dishes and in little bags tied with ribbon. This candy is most often linked to the ancient Middle Eastern treat, Turkish delight. Technically a Turkish delight is a jellylike or gummy confection usually cut in cubes and dusted with sugar. The idea is similar to jelly beans but not exactly the same. Since the candies have an egg-like shape, and eggs are a symbol of rebirth, jelly beans became part of our Easter traditions in the 1930s. Their festive colors made them a perfect candy for celebrating the holiday. During World War II much of the chocolate produced in the U.S. was sent overseas to the soldiers. I’ll tell Timmy and Karina that story again about the jelly beans and they’ll probably absorb more about it. They were pretty young when I first brought up the subject. Still, after going through the jelly beans story Timmy said, “Jelly beans are ok but I’d rather have a chocolate Easter bunny.” Nodding her agreement, Karina said, “And I’d rather eat those little chicks - those soft yellow ones - as many as I can.” Picturing that we all laughed and at first Karina was taken aback. Then she thought about what she’d said and imagining herself eating 10 little chicks, she started laughing, too. All in all I realized that Timmy and

Karina are usually more excited about going on an Easter egg hunt than hearing about the history of jelly beans or anything else but I like explaining things - I like telling them what the connections are. After finishing their Easter egg hunt some of the kids started rolling Easter eggs along the lawn. Timmy and Karina watched then one of the boys asked if they wanted to join in. They dashed off and after waiting their turns they used a large wooden spoon and started rolling the colorful Easter eggs along the beautifully manicured lawn. The sun was shining, a slight wind was blowing and everyone looked great in their Easter clothes. Best of all Timmy, Karina and the other kids had a terrific time. As we drove back to their grandmother’s condo I told them that there is a religious side to Easter - that it’s not all about going on Easter egg hunts and eating the candy from their Easter baskets. Easter isn’t Halloween after all. Easter is the most important holiday of the Christian Church’s calendar. It celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ from death after he was crucified for the

sins of the world. This is the key event that the Christian faith is based upon. That year we spent Easter Monday at the kids’ grandmother’s pool then we headed to check out the ocean for a few hours. We stuck our feet in the water then relaxed in chaise lounges as we watched Timmy and Karina build some sand castles. Since Easter fell on a later date in the liturgical calendar we had a warm day that was just perfect - not too hot nor too cold to be hanging out by the ocean. Happy Easter, Happy Passover and Happy Spring to all!

The Best Social Security Book I’ve Ever Read BY TOM MARGENAU I just finished reading the best book about Social Security that I have ever read. In just under 100 pages, the author explains everything you’d probably ever need to know about our nation’s bedrock social insurance program. If you are someone pushing retirement age who wants to know when and how to file for benefits, there is a chapter in the book for you. Or, if you are a woman who is wondering what benefits you might be due on a husband’s, or ex-husband’s, or deceased husband’s Social Security record, there is a chapter in the book for you. Or, if you are someone with a physical or mental impairment wondering if you might be eligible for disability benefits, there is a chapter in the book for you. And there is so much more. And on top of all that, the author appears to be this tall, handsome man who is so nice, so smart and so humble! (OK, this is getting silly. Of course, I’m talking about me and my book, “Social Security: Simple and Smart: 10 Easy-to-Understand Fact Sheets That Will Answer All Your Questions About Social Security.” But why am I bringing it up? After all, the book has been out for more than a year now, and I’ve mentioned it more than a few times in past columns. Well, here’s the story. At the beginning of this year, I updated the book for 2022. But I’ve heard from lots of readers that when they ordered the book, usually from an online seller like Amazon, they were still getting the 2021 edition. It took a while to straighten this out, but it now looks like things are fixed. That’s why I ordered a copy -- to test the system. And it worked. I got the 2022 edition. And here’s a message for those of you who have the 2021 edition: It’s almost exactly the same as the 2022 edition. Essentially all I did in the 2022 edition is update some numbers that change every year. For example, when I talk about the earnings penalty that applies to Social Security beneficiaries under their full retirement age who are still working, the 2021 edition says the earnings limit is $18,960 (which it was in 2021) and the 2022 edition says the earnings limit is $19,560 (which it is in 2022). The 2022 edition also includes a better clarification of how retirement benefits are figured. So anyway, once the book arrived at my doorstep, I sat on my back porch and read it. It’s the first time I read it through from cover to cover in a long time, and, not to be too obnoxious and self-centered about this, I was surprised by how good it is! The book is actually made up of a series of fact sheets I prepared over the years to explain various
aspects of the Social Security program to the readers of my column. Here is a rundown of what’s in the book. It begins with a section that debunks the top 10 myths about Social Security. Interestingly, I start out that section by saying, “I could write a book called ‘The top 100 Social Security myths.’” And guess what? Now I have. It’s still being edited as I write this. And when it’s available, I’ll let you know. Fact Sheet No. 1 is called “Social Security Basics.” It provides an introduction to the Social Security program. Fact Sheet No. 2 is called “Myths and Facts about Social Security Financing.” There are just so darn many rumors and myths floating around on the internet about how Social Security works and is financed. This fact sheet tackles all those silly and misleading myths and sets the record straight. It also includes a section that discusses serious and workable proposals for Social Security reform. Fact Sheet No. 3 is the most popular. It is called “When to take your Social Security benefits.” It clarifies all the rules associated with retirement benefit eligibility and explains the mechanics of applying for benefits. There also is a section that talks about “maximizing” your Social Security benefits. Fact Sheet No. 4 is called “Working after retirement and the earnings penalty.” This chapter explains the convoluted rules that apply to Social Security recipients who are under their full retirement age but still working part time. Fact Sheet No. 5 is the second most popular part of the book. It is called “A woman’s guide to Social Security.” It explains benefits a woman might be due on a husband’s or ex-husband’s Social Security record, and it explains benefits available to widows and divorced widows. (By the way, the same rules apply to husbands and widowers.) Fact Sheet No. 6, called “Benefits for children,” explains benefits available for the children of retirees or for the children of people getting disability benefits. Survivor benefits for the children of a deceased parent are also discussed. Fact Sheet No. 7 is called “Disability benefits from Social Security.” It clarifies everything you need to know about the Social Security and Supplemental Security Income disability programs. It also includes a section with tips for getting your disability claim approved. Fact Sheet No. 8 is called “Pension offsets and Social Security.” If you get a pension from a job that was not covered by Social Security, you must read this section so you will understand the effect that pension will have on any Social Security benefits you might be due on your own record or a spouse’s record. Fact Sheet No. 9, called “When Social Security says you owe them mon-
ey,” was written for anyone who has received an overpayment letter from the Social Security Administration. Fact Sheet No. 10 is called “Working after your Social Security checks start: will your additional income increase your Social Security check?” This fact sheet answers that question. And finally, there is a little bonus section at the end of the book called
“What to do when someone getting a Social Security check dies.” And as long as I’m shamelessly promoting my book, let me mention one other book I’ve written -- even though it has nothing to do with Social Security. My readers may be surprised to learn that I’m not just a boring old forContinued on next page

Words and Emotions Can Kill a Deal BY PHILIP A. RAICES I have noticed over the years when one is selling, investing, purchasing, renting or even leasing residential and/or commercial properties, human emotion has had quite a lot to do with the process. This perspective is mine alone and not related to any articles or columns that I or you may have read currently or in the past. Experiencing human nature at its best and worse with respect to verbal responses to questions, what is most important in the process from start to finish, common sense and critical thinking and expressions and body motions reveals an amazing and many times a constructive view of how the consumer thinks and then acts upon and applies to their decision making. There is a saying that I heard, learned and absorbed over 40 years ago, that, “buyers are liars, sellers are yellers, and lawyers are destroyers!” This is not to say that any of this is mostly true, but many of us have definitely experienced one time or another, one or more of these specific insulting sayings. The point and real question is how does one avoid or deal with them when confronted with these sticky and embarrassing situations? It isn’t so easy or is it? Pragmatic and as much common sense and logical thinking as possible may be required during those moments in time that these challenging events occur with those individuals who for one reason or another pose a threat to you when trying to transact a sale, an investment, purchase, rental or lease. The methods and strategies that one may use will either create
a successful end result or an untenable, stressful disastrous event that you want to completely erase out of your mind’s eye going forward. It’s always easy to remember and reminisce all those successful closings, but there are those bad and “I want to forget about” crazy and pretty much impossible deals; but that you hopefully learn from and move on from there to never repeat those mistakes and errors ever, ever again. But here we go when human nature raises its’ ugly head right into the mix once again and so so many forget the past and keep repeating the “errors of their past.” There are words to choose and words to lose when engaged in the real estate business whether a full time or even a part time agent. Agents as well as consumers should be much more aware of them, as this can and will effect a transaction as well as a relationship. I can provide some of them as it is my method that I teach my agents on a consistent and repetitive basis over time by exploring, learning, absorbing and applying the information creating more successful outcomes, when listing properties, working with investors, purchasers, renters and lessees of residential and commercial properties. I don’t say the path is always easy to navigate, and some will stumble and fall but through some pains there will almost always be your gains! It

The Best Social Security Book I’ve Ever Read Continued from previous page mer government employee who writes columns and books about Social Security. I’m also a grandpa who writes stories for his grandchildren. And I just turned one of those stories into a published children’s book. It’s a cute little story called “A House Made out of Shells.” Here’s the opening stanza to the book: “Emily lived by the sea in a house made out of shells. And when a breeze blew off the seas, they tinkled like little bells.” If you have a child, or grandchild, or niece or nephew, I think they will really love this little book. So anyway, as I said, I think my “Social Security: Simple and Smart” will
answer any questions you might have about Social Security. And I’m sure “A House Made out of Shells” will bring a smile to the face of any youngsters in your life. You can get either book online at Amazon, Barnes and Noble or other booksellers. If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has a book with all the answers. It’s called “Social Security: Simple and Smart.” You can find the book at www.creators.com/books. Or look for it on Amazon or other book outlets. COPYRIGHT 2022 CREATORS.COM
isn’t how many times you strike out but the number of times you get up at bat and swing for the bleachers! (not sure who said this over the years, possibly me, but I am not sure). We try to never use the following words: Honestly, truthfulness, be perfectly honest with you, I’ll be honest with you. During the last 40+ years I have realized that there is no need to use the word honest, honesty or honestly in any sentences, as one should assume that it is a given that you are. People overuse and abuse the words to a point, which I always wonder are those that use them truly honest? Most of the time people are, but then there are those that are surely the opposite! Instead replace with “I will be perfectly upfront” and/or “perfectly candid with you.” Whether you are a seller, investor, buyer, renter or lessee of residential and/or commercial property, choose your words carefully and keep your emotions hidden inside your pocket, because providing too much information, (however, disclosing the necessary and required info) and letting your guard down, can and will cause irreparable harm to your pocketbook.

Enjoying This Week’s Full Moon BY DENNIS MAMMANA Week of April 10-16, 2022 Last week the delicate crescent moon appeared in the west at dusk; this week we can look forward to seeing a brilliant full moon illuminating the east around the same time. When the full moon rises around sunset on Friday and Saturday, April 15 and 16, many stargazers around the globe will be watching. To the eye, the full moon commands respect. Not only does its rising orb appear much larger than it actually is -- an effect called the “moon illusion” -- but its brilliance obliterates from view all but the brightest stars and planets. It’s hard not to pay attention to the full moon! What most beginning sky watchers don’t realize, however, is that a full moon is the worst time to view our nearest cosmic neighbor with a telescope, since the sun’s direct rays cast few shadows on its surface, giving it a rather flat appearance. Nevertheless, the eyes or binoculars can reveal some fascinating features. For example, notice that the lunar surface is not uniformly bright but, instead, has a mottled appearance. We know the lighter areas as mountainous or heavily cratered terrain of higher elevation, and we call them the “lunar highlands.” The darker areas are roughly circular and
cover much of the moon’s face; they are known as “mare” or “seas.” This watery terminology dates to the earliest days of moon gazing, long before astronomers realized that our natural satellite is a dry, barren world nearly devoid of water. Today, we realize that these mare are huge plains of solidified magma that welled up from deep within the moon after violent impacts during its early evolution, and flooded the lowest terrain. Many of these features still carry the poetic names of antiquity such as the Sea of Nectar and Ocean of Storms. Perhaps the most famous of these is the Sea of Tranquility, made famous by the Apollo XI mission that landed the first astronauts on the moon in July of 1969. It lies on its westernmost side and appears near the top of the rising moon. It is the interplay between the lighter and darker areas that creates an illusion we call “the man in the moon.” One lunar plain, the Sea of Serenity, marks one eye, while the Sea of Rains forms his other eye. A mountain range forms the bridge of his nose and, below, a collection of seas form his large, crooked smile. At least, that’s what I’m told; if you can make out a man’s face from this maze of light and dark, you’re doing much better than I. Outlining someone sitting in a chair reading a book, a longeared rabbit -- even a frog -- is no problem, but I just can’t easily make out the
“man in the moon.” Watch the full moon this week and see which patterns you can find among its geological features. See if you can trace the profile of a ponytailed young lady wearing a diamond pendant. Why she looks to me like Wilma Flintstone is anyone’s guess... I’ll just leave it to all
the amateur psychologists out there to figure out what this cosmic Rorschach test says about me! Visit Dennis Mammana at dennismammana.com. COPYRIGHT 2022 CREATORS.COM

Lawn Mower Alternatives BY JEFF RUGG
Q: Our lawn mower quit. We got just two mowings out of it this spring. The cost to repair it will be more than it is worth. I was thinking that we should get an old-fashioned mower that doesn’t require gasoline, but my husband thinks they are heavy and that they don’t cut very well. Have there been any improvements in lawn mowers besides the gasoline ones? I am hoping for a mower that is quieter and pollutes less. A: I remember using the old heavy manual reel mowers that your husband is thinking about. They were horrible to use, but they eventually did the job. There have been several improvements in all kinds of lawn mowers. Some of the newer gas engine ones are not nearly as polluting or noisy as the older models. Many still use a mix of gas and oil, so they still pollute, but some have an oil reservoir like a car and pollute less. There have been big improvements in
reel mowers as well. This old technology doesn’t use gas, oil or electricity to spin the blades to clip the grass as it passes by the stationary blade. They can cut grass very well as evidenced by their use on virtually every golf green, professional baseball diamond and football field. They are best used in short grass that grows with a vertical posture. Southern grasses or lawns that are repeatedly crewcut will look great when cut with a reel mower. Taller, floppy grasses like Kentucky bluegrass, fescues and ryegrass will work if cut short, but if they are allowed to grow too long, they will often bend out of the path of the blade and not get cut. This leads to the reel mower jig, where the person behind the mower must dance back and forth in several directions to get the tall grass cut. The best reel mower I have ever used was a Fiskars Momentum. They have other models now. These guys know how to make things sharp and make them stay sharp. The blades didn’t touch and yet
they cut the grass without tearing it. By not touching, this mower was virtually silent, whereas the old reel mowers clicked and clacked their noisy way around the lawn. The adjustable handle height allows the mower to be used by kids. The mower blade could be adjusted from 1-4 inches, which is higher than old reel mowers. The wheels were set inside the width of the blades, allowing for closeedge cutting and no grass left uncut by being pushed down by the wheels. Grass is tossed in front of the mower where it gets cut again and it doesn’t get tossed onto the user’s feet. If you cut your grass short or it is Bermuda, St. Augustine or other vertical growing grasses, I highly recommend the Fiskars reel mowers. If your grass grows longer or it is one of the northern grasses, you may like another mower I have used and really liked. The 40-volt battery operated Worx Eco is almost as quiet as the Fiskars reel mower. You can hold a conversation while using it in the quiet mode. It sounds like
a fan while it is running. The turbo mode is stronger for tall grass, but it is slightly louder. All four wheels can be adjusted at the same time with a single lever. My one complaint is that it doesn’t have markings as to how high each setting is. It uses two lithium-ion battery packs. Grass can be mulched, sent out the back or bagged. It does a reasonable job on leaves in the fall, but they don’t mulch as much as with a gas-powered mower. A final alternative, if you have a small lawn, is an electric mower. I am currently using a Task Force electric mower. It seems to be a bit underpowered, but it is very quiet. You do have to have access to outdoor outlets ,and there is a long extension cord to work around. The extension cord problem is kind of like working around the cord of a vacuum cleaner, so you get used to it. Email questions to Jeff Rugg at info@ greenerview.com. . COPYRIGHT 2022 JEFF RUGG
