“P.S. I Love You Day” at Hicksville Middle School
Principal Mara Jorisch, Mr. Anthony Tussie, and his advisory period students proudly displaying their personal purple heart messages for P.S. I Love You Day.
Mr. Anthony Tussie and his advisory period students celebrate the P.S. I Love You Day!
Hicksville Middle School celebrated P.S. I Love You Day. Students and staff wore purple in celebration of the day. During a two-week span of time, students engaged in the Kindness Challenge during their advisory period. Some of the activities included creating friendship chains, writing thank you letters to local heroes, listening to songs that make you happy, performing acts of kindness during the day, and participating in the “purple wave” of wearing purple in unity and support of the middle school learning community. P.S. I Love You Day shirts were created and sold to students and staff. P.S. I Love You Day was created to raise awareness and focus on the importance of mental health and aimed to decrease bullying in schools. By educat-
ing students early about mental health, the conversation is easier to discuss and students will be able to recognize when they or others around them need help. On the second Friday of every February, communities are encouraged to wear purple in order to foster kindness and to offer a welcoming environment. The goal is to educate students, parents, faculty and staff that mental health is just as important as physical health. Many advisories decorated classroom doors or created bulletin boards with the P.S. I Love You Day theme. In addition, each student throughout the school signed a purple heart and left a positive note on it. These hearts were collected and have been put up throughout the school.

Gertrude Burstein with friends and family on her 100th birthday. Gertrude Burstein celebrated her 100th birthday at The Bristal at Jericho with family and friends. Born and raised in Brooklyn, she was a very conscientious student and graduated high school at sixteen. Gertrude and her husband Abraham were married in 1942. She worked as a bookkeeper until the birth of her first child. The couple started their family while still living in Brooklyn, and then moved to Long Island in 1955. Gertrude and Abraham were married for over 61 years. They traveled around the world. Her favorite country she traveled to
was Italy. After her husband’s retirement, they moved to Florida where she lived there for 35 years. While living in Florida, she became an avid tennis player. She stopped playing tennis at ninety. Her other hobbies include playing cards, mahjong and canasta. She moved to The Bristal in 2019, so she could be closer to her family. “I am very blessed in the sense that I have two wonderful kids who gave me four beautiful grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren. My family is truly something that I am so very proud of. I think it is so remarkable how everyone takes care of each other”.
Yard waste collection resumes Town of Oyster Bay yard waste collection will resume the week of Monday, March 28, for homeowners who receive Town collection services. Yard waste is picked up on the same day as recycled materials, including plastics, metals and cardboard. “With the spring season upon us, many residents will begin clearing their properties from leaves and other debris left behind by winter,” said Town Councilman Tom Hand. “Yard waste collection, which includes lawn clippings, will get underway the last full week in March and run throughout the year.” Residents should place yard waste curbside on their same day as their recycling items. Yard waste is collected by Town sanitation crews and taken to compost facilities. Waste includes grass clippings, weeds, leaves, tree trimmings, hedge and shrub clippings and
other garden/yard waste. Materials should be placed in bags at the curb, and should weigh no more than 50 pounds. No household garbage, refuse or animal waste should be disposed with yard waste. “Collecting Yard Waste is an important component to our recycling program,” said Councilman Hand. “One of the prime benefits of recycling yard waste is that the cost to take these materials to a compost facility is less than the cost to dispose of them at an out-of-state landfill. This successful program is another example of the Town’s commitment to providing high quality environmental services while protecting our taxpayers’ wallets.” For more information on the Town’s recycling program, or other sanitation services, visit www.OysterBayTown. com/recycling.

ing place will be Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park launching ramps and waterfront gazebo off of Larrabee Avenue, Oyster Bay. Additional locations for the clean-up 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.

Professor Robin Boyle Laisure, J.D. from St. John’s University visited Hicksville High School’s Kristoff Theatre on Thursday, March 17. She spoke with students in the Roots of Oppression, International Law, and Intro to Social Science about human trafficking. This program was brought to the Hicksville Public
ficking. Hicksville High School students spent two periods listening to Professor Boyle’s real-world experience as a lawyer with human trafficking cases and had opportunities to ask questions relating to mistakes other innocent victims have previously made in order to enhance their own awareness on action to avoid
Schools by the High School Social Studies department. Professor Boyle Laisure shared statistics on human trafficking, legislation enacted, real life stories, profiles of who is targeted for trafficking, why people are trafficked, various types of trafficking, and the actual definition of human traf-
for themselves. Professor Boyle cautioned students about online predators and clearly established that traffickers do it with force, fraud, coercion, and manipulation after getting to know their victims. Resources were shared to include articles and hotlines.

Recalling an enjoyable summer vacation
BY CLAIRE LYNCH
Last summer my sister, Susan, got the idea to take a family trip upstate to Saranac Lake and we thought it was a great idea. Eight of us ended up going in two different cars and we made some memorable family moments. Michelle, her husband Don, plus five of our nieces and nephews and I went on that the road trip. It seems far away from Long Island but we made it in six hours with a couple of stops and that’s not bad at all. Saranac Lake is in Franklin and Essex Counties upstate 106 miles south of Montreal, Canada, and about 50 miles southwest of Plattsburgh. The town is just over three square miles, small by most standards, but it has a big reputation for being the place to go during the hot summer months. It’s cold country in the winter, perfect for skiing and snowshoeing, and a very pleasant place to be in July or August. After checking into our hotel rooms we decided to head out for a few hours of canoeing. After renting our canoes we helped the kids fasten their life vests. We also took a few minutes to tell them about watching out for the many loons that are around Saranac Lake. Loons like to bob upon the waves just offshore from the boat launch and when paddling the canoes, people often see them. They’re frequently mistaken for ducks but loons are slightly different and they’re classified separately by scientists. Like ducks and geese loons are water birds and the Adirondacks have lots of loons. The first thing we told the kids was not to approach a loon’s nest because they could be startled and accidentally kick the eggs out of the nest as it flies away. That wouldn’t be good. They understood why being careful around loons was very important so we hopped into our canoes and headed out on the water. A couple of hours on the lake on a sunshiny day was the ticket. I was happy to see everyone having a great time and to note that no one, in our group anyway, had fallen from their canoe. Summer evenings in the Adirondacks
wouldn’t be the same without the haunting wail of common loons. First-time visitors are usually surprised because the nighttime crescendo is not something commonly heard. There’s the crackling of the fire, the lapping of waves upon the rocky shoreline, the chirps and grunts of various frogs, and then a hollow, low tone cuts through it all, rising in pitch to a high note that echoes off the nearby mountains as it fades into the valleys. My young relatives were taken aback the first time they heard the nighttime sounds of the loons and frogs. After dinner we all sat outside on deck chairs chatting and relaxing when the unusual sounds started and Amanda, who’s five, jumped right out of her chair. “What was that strange noise?” she asked laughing and looking scared simultaneously. Her face said it all. Susan told them the wildlife upstate is different from on Long Island and the kids all agreed. They thought the sounds of the animals would keep them up at night but being out in the fresh air and exploring the area they fell fast asleep each night. The next day we drove into town as a group and checked out the local shops. Spotting loon T-shirts all over the place, the kids were pleased to see them plus they were proud of themselves because they knew a duck and a loon were two different types of water birds. As we drove around and then enjoyed a good dinner, we explained to the younger members of our group that the village of Saranac Lake was incorporated on June 16, 1892, and Dr. Edward Livingston Trudeau was elected the first village president soon thereafter. Before that the Iroquois Indians had occupied the land for hundreds of years. Electricity was introduced in September 1894 by installing water wheels on the former site of Pliny Miller’s mill. Paul Smith purchased the Saranac Lake Electricity Co. in 1907 and formed the Paul Smith’s Electric Light and Power and Railroad Company. Eventually it became part of NiagaraMohawk. The village also developed its public schools, police and fire departments.

“Treasure Island” and “Kidnapped” writer Robert Louis Stevenson spent the winter of 1887-1888 in a cottage called the Baker Cottage in Saranac Lake. That cottage still stands and serves as a museum dedicated to his life. The cartoonist Garry Trudeau who is famous for drawing the “Doonesbury” comic strip was born in New York City and raised in Saranac Lake. He keeps in touch with friends and relatives in Saranac Lake. Our last day trip was to Lake Placid so we got an early start and while loading the car with our snacks and light bags some of us stretched our legs and admired the scenery for a few minutes. As we approached the hotel’s pool my nephew, Alex, who’s four, noticed three lively creatures swimming in the pool. Laughing and clapping, Alex called us over to check it out.
There were three Mallard ducks - two males and one female - floating around as contentedly as could be. We watched as a male briefly chased the other male away in the water but that was just a brief skirmish then the three Mallard ducks resumed their contented swimming. There were no humans in the pool or on its deck so they had it all to themselves. Continuing on, we stopped at the Coffee Bar on Main Street. Susan and Don went inside to place our order while the kids and I sat on the deck waiting for our treats of iced teas, iced coffees and egg sandwiches. The shop overlooks the lake so the view couldn’t be beat. Taking our time and seeing the sights was peaceful and a perfect way to end a week’s vacation upstate in the Saranac Lake area.

Tips for Finding Social Security Information Online BY TOM MARGENAU
I’m sure lots of my readers are always looking for Social Security information online. So am I. Even though I’ve got 50 years’ worth of Social Security knowledge stacked up in my brain, it sometimes gets a little muddled and I need to check something out or verify what I think I know. So, I go online for answers or clarification. One great source is to go straight to the horse’s mouth, which would be the website for the Social Security Administration. It’s www.socialsecurity.gov. Even though the agency has done a poor job lately in the area of direct customer service (as I’ve documented many times in recent columns), it still maintains a pretty impressive website. There are lots of things you can do at that site, like filing a claim for most Social Security benefits or replacing a lost Social Security card. But today, I’m primarily focused on helping people who are trying to get general information about Social Security or people who are trying to get some specific questions answered. And one good place to do that is under that part of www.socialsecurity.gov called “Publications.” (You’ll find the “Publications” link near the bottom of the homepage.) The SSA produces about 100 pamphlets and fact sheets that explain, in relatively easy-to-understand language, most things you need to know about Social Security’s various programs and policies. When you click on the “Publications” link, it will open up a page with some publications listed. But just pull down the “Topics” menu and you will find a range of topics like Retirement, Disability, Medicare, etc. For example, let’s say you want some information about how retirement benefits are calculated. Under the Retirement topic, you will find a fact sheet called “Your Retirement Benefit: How It Is Figured.” Or if you think a recently increased Medicare premium is wrong, under the Medicare topic you will find a pamphlet called “What You Can Do if You Think Your Medicare Income-Related Premium is Incorrect.” As I said, there are hundreds of publications available. So, I’m pretty sure you can find one that answers whatever Social Security question you might have. And by the way, one reason I know so much about these publications is because I have a direct link to them. One of my past jobs with the SSA was as the chief editor of all the agency’s public information materials, including all the pamphlets and fact sheets. Even though I am very familiar with the SSA’s publications, and I’m somewhat familiar with the entire SSA website, even I sometimes still have trouble finding exactly the information I’m looking for. The SSA website has a “Search” box, and that can be helpful. But I’ve found
it can sometimes lead me down a rabbit hole of unusual information that really doesn’t help me. For example, I recently typed in “annual earnings test.” (This is the rule that limits how much a Social Security beneficiary under full retirement age can earn and still collect benefits.) Among hundreds of links that popped up, there were more than a few that led to arcane studies done by the SSA’s actuaries and policy experts about that provision of the law. That’s why I oftentimes prefer to go straight to an internet search engine, like Google, to find the information I’m looking for. And here is a big tip for those of you doing the same. Always start out your search with the words “Social Security.” Here is an example of what I mean. Let’s say you are getting disability benefits and you want to try working and you are wondering how that might affect your eligibility for benefits. You could go into Google and type “Disability benefits and work” or something like that and you probably will eventually find what you’re looking for. But if you type in “Social Security disability benefits and work,” you’ll have a much better chance of getting the information you need. On a related note, many readers are always telling me they want to see “something in writing” about some Social Security policy. The “bible” for all Social Security rules and laws is something called the “Program Operations Manual System,” or POMS. Everything you might ever want to know about a Social Security policy is somewhere in POMS. But even I, after 50 years of working with the document, have trouble finding what I want in POMS because it is so extensive. So lately, I’ve been using Google to get to POMS. For example, if I wanted to see the eligibility rules for widow’s benefits, I would go to Google and type “Social Security POMS widow’s benefits” and it would lead me directly to the POMS section on those kinds of benefits. One reason you may be looking for information online is because for almost two years now, it’s been almost impossible to talk to a human being at the SSA. And that leads to something I want to get off my chest. It’s a message to the leaders of the Social Security Administration. IT’S TIME TO REOPEN LOCAL SOCIAL SECURITY OFFICES. Millions of businesses and government agencies around the nation and around the world have reopened. Some a long time ago. Yet the SSA offices essentially remain closed, except for very unusual situations. I really have no idea why local Social Security offices are still closed. I’ve got a hunch it’s a union thing. Way back in January, the head of the SSA issued a press release that started out with this statement: “I am very pleased to share that we have successfully reached agreement with our three labor unions on our reentry plan.”
That was almost three months ago. And still nothing has happened. It’s time for those offices to reopen. Services offered by the SSA have slipped to unprecedentedly poor levels. I constantly (like every single day) hear from readers who tell me that they wait for hours to get through to someone at the agency’s toll-free number (800-772-1213). Or they wait for months to get a Social Security problem resolved. I just think it’s time to send employees back to their workstations, whether
that be in a local Social Security office, or one of the call centers, or at the agency’s various processing centers and headquarters offices. OK, I got that off my chest. 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

Higher cost of living affecting housing market BY PHILIP A. RAICES There are many senior citizens on Long Island that are living from month to month only on their Social security check. The real inflation of 15% has caused irreparable financial harm and mental stress causing those that are struggling and barely making it. I have visited many and have firsthand experience with those that are going through such challenging and difficult times. They never thought that they would have such challenging and difficult times during their golden retirement years. However some never planned properly and others just didn’t squirrel away to save and invest enough to enable them to enjoy themselves after retiring. Speaking with a multitude of homeowners, they have told me of those that have left Long Island and New York State, San Francisco, etc., to more economical and less crowded locations e.g. such as North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Texas, Tennessee, and to other lower cost of living states. The number one reason that was conveyed to me was the combination of excessive real estate and state income taxes as well as the general cost of living (food and energy that is not included in the inflation percentages). One gentleman said his five close friends all left NYS and he was now contemplating moving to one of those locations to be near some of them or possibly near his children. The exodus out of NYS has been occurring for years, but the pandemic really put another “nail in the coffin” to the affordability issue. The 1.6 trillion of student debt was another major issue for those millennial and Gen Z’s, who could no longer bear the expense of staying and living on Long Island. Those fortunate enough to be able to reside in their parent’s homes, a relative, or team up with a roommate in a rental enabled some of them to as least save enough money to at least purchase a co-op. However,
even a small home today is now beyond the reach of so many, now that Jerome Powell, our Fed Chair increased rates on Wednesday, March 16th and is predicting another five increase throughout 2022. The quarter point increase caused a mortgage on a $400,000 purchase (which you can hardly find on Long Island) to increase approximately $200 per month and approximately $20,000 over the life of the mort-gage, unless prepaid earlier. All types of construction, investment and short term and line of credit loans have now increased as well as interest on all credit cards. Unfortunately, he should have raised rates a while back as he allowed this market to overheat with way too many purchasers, making the cost of owning a home much more affordable. However, also due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the pent up demand, (March 22,-June 10, 2020 the real estate business was shut down in NYS as we were considered nonessential, really?) more purchasers finally came back into the market, actively looking and much more than the existing inventory could handle. This causing bidding wars and prices excelling sometimes way above the asking prices, never seen before it cause the excessive demand to strip away all of the homes, causing prices to exceed the normal increase of basic yearly inflation as had been in the past from 1955-1975. This might be the beginning of a tipping point to those that have been desperately searching over the last 6-12 months (and losing deal after deal due to the insane competition) for their first or move up of downsizing home. There is about 1.7 months of inventory (meaning it would take 1.7 months to sell all the available houses on the
market). Part of the problem is that many are just staying in place, which has caused sales to decrease, while prices to continue to increase; the old supply and demand economics scenario e.g. low supply high demand, prices increase. According to The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) the following informa-tion from 2018 provides a somewhat accurate and consistent analysis of second home ownership. There are approximately 7.5 million second homes, where a majority of those owners split their time between their primary and secondary homes. The state with the largest number of second home ownership was Florida with 1.1 million accounting for 14.5% of all second homes. South Dakota had the lowest number of second homes approximately 20,000, among all 50 states. Half the second homes can be found in nine states Florida, California, New York, Texas, Michigan, North Carolina, Arizona, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. These situations have cause much less than normal inventory, while the demand has been increasing for the last eleven years since the bottom of the market in 2011. This will be changing has the Fed continues to raise interest rates throughout the year. When the Covid-19 pandemic came ashore from China and Europe, unfortunately we didn’t close our borders fast enough and we all know what happened. However, approximately, 500,000 left NYC alone and I am quite sure, California, Chicago and other large cities lost a percentage of their populations due to the pandemic. I hope and pray that the next pandemic, which will happen, as the human race always seems to forget their past
mistakes and are creatures of constantly repeating what they should know, never to do again!

No More Sleeping Through the Alarm and More Handy Tips BY MARY HUNT
Surprise! Instead of sharing tips you’ve sent to me, I’ve decided to hog the entire column to share some of my own. PHONE ALARM VOLUME BOOSTER If you’re a heavy sleeper and have trouble hearing your cellphone’s alarm, you can boost the volume by setting it in an empty (glass) drinking glass. This works because the sound reverberates and intensifies inside the glass. It may not be the world’s most pleasant amplification technique, but it works great for an alarm. As an added benefit, to turn the alarm off you have to actually pull the phone out of
the glass. This makes it somewhat more likely that you’ll actually get up and not roll over to fall back asleep. SHOE SELECTION When trying on shoes in the store, walk around in them on a hard surface. Standing on carpet is deceiving. It makes the shoes feel more comfortable than they would be on hard floors or other surfaces. ZIPPER TROUBLE There are several things you can do to get that stubborn, sluggish, sticking metal zipper back into tip-top shape. Run the lead of an ordinary pencil along the metal teeth to lubricate them. Or, with a cotton
swab, apply a bit of lubricating spray such as WD-40 to the teeth. Be careful to wipe away any excess so it won’t soil the garment. Another solution: Rub the edge of a bar of soap or an old candle up and down the teeth and along both sides of the zipper. RIGHT FROM LEFT Put a sticker inside your children’s right shoes or sneakers. They will begin to learn right from left and also get their shoes on the correct feet all by themselves. PILLING ON SWEATERS To remove pills from a sweater, stretch the sweater over a flat surface and shave
it lightly with an ordinary electric razor. Shavers sold for this purpose are not nearly as effective as the real thing.

Finding the Horse and Rider BY DENNIS MAMMANA Week of March 27 -- April 2, 2022 We terrestrial stargazers have it easy. We orbit a single star, and we look out at the starry heavens and believe that all stars are like the sun. In some ways that’s true. All are globes of mostly hydrogen that shine by a process of thermonuclear fusion occurring deep within their cores but, as astronomers have learned, that’s where the similarity often ends. Today we know that stars can be larger or smaller, redder or bluer, hotter or cooler, than the sun. Many stargazers are surprised to learn, however, that between half and three-quarters of all stars are actually part of systems in which two (or, sometimes, more) stars orbit a common center of gravity. Even a quick glance around the night sky will reveal many stars that seem to have a “companion” nearby. More often than not, however, these stars are not physically related, but simply appear close together in the sky. Astronomers know these as double stars. We can find a classic example of these low in the northern sky after dark, especially with binoculars or a small telescope. Begin by locating the seven stars that form the bowl and handle of the Big Dipper. Most people believe that
the Big Dipper (or the Plough, as the British prefer) is a constellation, but it’s really a group of stars that’s only part of the constellation Ursa Major, the Great Bear. It’s what astronomers call an “asterism”, a group of stars that -with enough imagination -- can appear as a familiar shape. Whatever we call it, its seven nearly equally bright stars are not easy to miss. They form the shape of a bowl with a bent handle that, right now, appears to be standing on its handle in the northeastern sky after dark. And it’s at the bend of the Dipper’s handle that an interesting object resides. Look here to see if you can spot a “double” star. These two are known by their proper names Mizar and its fainter companion Alcor, also called the “horse and rider.” If you cannot see both stars with just your eyes, aim binoculars in their direction and you should have no trouble at all. It was the 13th century Persian writer al-Qazwini who wrote that “people tested their eyesight by this star.” The 14th century, Arabian writer al-Firuzabadi referred to it as Al Sadak (“the test” or “the riddle”). Seems rather odd, though. Both stars are easily visible to most people today, even in moderately light-polluted regions. Has human eyesight improved that much over the past six or seven
centuries? Or has the fainter star Alcor brightened significantly since medieval times? No one knows for sure. What we do know is that Alcor and Mizar, though they appear close in the sky, are not physically related to one another. The pair is what’s called an “optical double”, two stars that just happen to appear roughly along the
same line of sight. Mizar, the brighter of the two, is actually part of a physical binary system (two stars that orbit a common center), and you can see its faint companion star with a small or medium-sized telescope. Visit Dennis Mammana at dennismammana.com. COPYRIGHT 2022 CREATORS.COM
L O S T I N S U B U R B I A
I’ve Got You Under My Skin TRACY BECKERMAN When I’m in the mood to be traumatized, I usually just go bathing suit shopping. Jeans shopping runs a close second. But when I really want to be both traumatized and insulted, I can always count on the ladies at the makeup counter of the department store to help me out. “Can I help you?” asked the woman with dramatically arched, drawn-on eyebrows that made her look perpetually surprised. “Um, I’m looking for a moisturizer,” I said reluctantly. I usually just go to the drugstore for my face creams, but just out of curiosity, I thought I would check out the latest in anti-aging treatments like bat-dung serums and placenta creams. She studied my face for a moment and then reached out and tweaked my cheek. “Ow!”
“Just checking your elasticity,” she said. I rubbed my tweaked cheek. She grabbed something from behind the counter and held it up to my face. A blue light shone into my eyes. “Severe sun damage,” she pronounced loudly. I tried to recall if I had willingly come to this counter or if I’d seen a commercial that put me in a trance and brainwashed me to come here. It could happen. “Here’s something that will help with the fine lines around your mouth and the sagging skin under your eyes,” she said, swiping some foul-smelling cream under my eyes and around my mouth. My eyes immediately began to burn and tear. “This one is also non-comedogenic, so it won’t clog those big pores on your chin,” she said as she swiped some orange goo on my chin. It quickly hardened so the pained expression on my
mouth froze in place. “...And this one will help reduce the appearance of the deeper lines on your forehead that you get when you frown -- like you are right now.” Imagine that: I was frowning. “This one is so powerful,” she said, holding up a small jar. “It has been shown to reduce wrinkles on the knees of a rhinoceros.” I wondered who decided that the best way to test out wrinkle creams for women was to apply them on the knees of a rhinoceros, and honestly, who actually lived to share the results. The ironic thing was that before I came into the store, I wasn’t even aware that I had fine lines around my mouth, sagging skin under my eyes, enlarged pores on my chin and deep wrinkles on my forehead. I just wanted to get a moisturizer for dry winter skin. “I think you would benefit from these three creams,” she finally pronounced, stacking them on the counter. I studied
the tiny little jars. “How much?” I asked, as though I hadn’t been horrified enough. “This one is $130 for an ounce. This one is $150, and this little one is $95,” she said nonchalantly. I did the math. “Three hundred and seventy-five dollars?!?!?” “Plus tax,” she said. My hardened jaw dropped. “But in six to 10 weeks, you should notice a dramatic reduction in the appearance of all your fine lines and wrinkles!” she exclaimed. “Yes,” I said, “But if I leave right now, I will immediately notice a dramatic reduction in the appearance of you.” 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!

Volunteers plant dune grass at TOBAY Beach
Town announces sports programs for spring
Hundreds of volunteers of all ages joined with Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino, Councilwoman Michele Johnson, Councilman Steve Labriola and Receiver of Taxes Jeff Pravato at the Town’s Dune Day event at TOBAY Beach. This project brings together groups, families, and individuals concerned about our environment helping to protect and preserve our beautiful shoreline by planting stalks of dune grass. Dunes along the south shore continue to face environmentally damaging storms that have a significant impact on the beach. Statistics indicate that the planting of dune grass provides a natural shield that is perfect for withstanding storm surges and high winds.
The Town of Oyster Bay invites residents to take part in Spring Athletic Programs for basketball, badminton, and volleyball, beginning on April 10 at the Hicksville Athletic Center. All athletic programs run for 10 weeks, are co-ed, and open to individuals 18 and over. “The Town’s athletic programs offer a great opportunity for residents to take to the court, improve their skills and make new friends,” said Town Councilman Steve Labriola. Basketball will be held on Thursdays from 9:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., Saturdays from 8:15 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., and Sundays from 8:15 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., beginning on April 10, 2022. The Basketball program is 10 weeks long and costs $25 for residents and $40 for non-residents. Registration is at the Hicksville Athletic (167 Broadway, Hicksville) on March 14, March 15, and March 16 between the hours of 5:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. Badminton will feature two sessions available for registrants to choose from. The first session consists of Tuesdays from 8:45 p.m. to 10:05 p.m., Fridays from 8:45 p.m. to 10:05 p.m., and Sundays from 6:10 p.m. to 8:10 p.m. Session 2 consists of Tuesdays from 10:15 p.m. to 11:35 p.m., Fridays from 10:15 p.m. to 11:35 p.m., and Sundays from 8:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. The Badminton program is
10-weeks long and costs $75 for residents and $100 for non-residents, with the program scheduled to begin on April 10. Registration is at the Hicksville Athletic (167 Broadway, Hicksville) on March 14 from 5:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. and on March 15 & March 16 between the hours of 5:30 p.m. – 9:30 p.m.. Volleyball will also feature two available sessions to choose from. The first session will be held on Mondays from 8:45 p.m. to 10:05 p.m.; Wednesdays from 8:45 p.m. to 10:05 p.m.; and Saturdays from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The second session will take place on Mondays from 10:15 p.m. to 11:35 p.m., Wednesdays from 10:15 p.m. to 11:35 p.m., and Saturdays from 8:20 p.m. to 10:20 p.m. The volleyball program is 10 weeks long, costs residents $75 and $100 for non-residents, and is scheduled to begin on April 11. Registration is at the Hicksville Athletic (167 Broadway, Hicksville) on March 14 from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. and on March 15 and March 16 from 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Proof of residency is required for the resident discount.
