Endangered peregrine falcons nest atop Bethpage water tower During a routine maintenance call to update communication equipment mounted to the Bethpage Water District’s (BWD) elevated water tower on Grumman Road, workers discovered that a pair of peregrine falcons had already claimed the tower as their home. The once nearly extinct bird of prey, which is still considered an endangered species in New York State, has found the water tower to be the perfect spot to nest. Maintenance on the tower has been put on hold until the eggs hatch and the baby falcons, known as eyases, take flight. “We have certainly experienced our share of different challenges over the years, but this is a particularly unique one,” said BWD Chairman John Coumatos. “The maintenance planned for the tank was not critical for day-to-day operations so there is no need for concern by our residents. For now, we are accommodating our guests by giving them space and the planned work will continue again once our newest Bethpage residents take flight.” Peregrine falcons are considered the world’s fastest animals, reaching speeds of nearly 200 miles per hour (mph) during their dives. They are known to mate for life, and often nest on top of cliffs, hilltops, and ledges of buildings and other high-up places. Peregrine falcons are primarily predators, who feed on other birds like pigeons and shorebirds. While these falcons are slowly becoming a more common sighting in New York State, seeing them in Nassau County is relatively rare. Like many other birds

of prey, peregrine falcons have suffered from the use of the pesticide DDT and other chemical contaminants that caused significant population declines since the 1940’s. DDT was found to cause eggshell thinning which drastically lowered the successful birth rate and nearly drove them to extinction. According to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, there were approximately 350 breeding pairs in the eastern U. S., including 40-50 historic nest sites in New York. By 1965, all were gone and populations in other parts of the country showed similar declines. Release programs initiated by the Peregrine Fund in the mid-1970s have resulted in peregrine falcons breeding in New York once again. In 1998, 38 pairs were present in New York, 36 bred, 31 were successful and 69 young fledged. New urban nests have been reported upstate for the first time in Albany. Gradual increases in the breeding population have been recorded throughout the east.

Polar Plunge returns to Town offers free Narcan training seminar TOBAY Beach on March 19 To continue the fight against the opioid epidemic, the Town of Oyster Bay will host a free Narcan Training Seminar for residents on Wednesday, March 16 at 11 a.m. in Oyster Bay. The training session will be offered in partnership with Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman and the Department of Human Services. Preregistration is required. “In the Town of Oyster Bay, we have made addressing the ongoing opioid issue on Long Island among our top priorities, working with many organizations to help spread awareness, learn warning signs of drug addiction and gather information on available treatment options,” said Town of Oyster Bay Councilwoman Vicki Walsh. “We hope our residents join us for this important seminar, where they can learn how to safely and effectively reverse the fatal effects of an opioid overdose by administering a life-saving antidote.” The overdose reversal agent known as Narcan is administered through a nasal spray, and will be provided free of charge by the Nassau County Department of

Human Services to those who successfully complete the course. Under New York State law, residents can administer Narcan in an attempt to save a life, without fear of liability. “Every day, at least one Long Islander dies from an opiate overdose, and those are only the ones we know of,” added County Executive Blakeman. “Out of every 10 deaths, about 7 die at home. Overdoses can happen to anyone, and anyone can help reverse it. Together, through initiatives like this, we can help save lives and keep families whole.” This free Overdose Prevention & Narcan Training Seminar is available to all residents. No prior medical experience is necessary to participate. All trainees will receive a Certificate of Completion and Narcan kit following class completion. This seminar will take place at the Oyster Bay Community Center, located at 59 Church Street in Oyster Bay. Anyone can attend, but seating is limited and pre-registration is required. Visit www.nassaucountyny.gov/ overdosetraining to register.

The Town of Oyster Bay invites residents to be “Freezin’ for a Reason” at the annual Polar Plunge benefitting the Special Olympics New York on Saturday, March 19 at TOBAY Beach. The event, originally scheduled for earlier in the month, will include COVID-safety protocols and pre-assigned time slots. “Many of our residents head to TOBAY Beach for summer fun, but this event provides an enjoyable and charitable reason to spend a great day at the beach much sooner,” said Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor Joseph Saladino. “Participants will have an opportunity to prove their mettle and their compassion by wading into the chilly waters of TOBAY Beach to raise funds for the athletes of Special Olympics New York.” With the safety of participants being the highest priority for both Special Olympics and the Town of Oyster Bay, this year’s plunge will once again include numerous safety measures to protect all plungers and spectators. All participants will be given specific plunge times and parameters during their registration, which begins at 9:30 a.m., with plunging times beginning at 11 a.m. Requested donation is $25 per participant. Plungers

who raise $150 receive a commemorative Polar Plunge sweatshirt. All funds raised at the event support Special Olympics New York’s programs and promote awareness of people living with intellectual disabilities in New York. Proceeds will help to provide yearround sports training and competition in over 22 Olympic-style sports for more than 66,835 children and adults with intellectual disabilities living in New York, giving them continuing opportunities at no cost to them or their families. “This polar plunge is sure to create lasting memories for all participants while supporting a very worthwhile cause,” added Town Councilman Lou Imbroto. “Special Olympics New York changes lives through the joy of sports and the Town of Oyster Bay is proud to partner with this outstanding organization to help make this event a success. Please join with me in braving the chilly waters for a great reason.” To register your team and invite family and friends, visit http://events. nyso.org/tobaybeach.

Town Councilman Steve Labriola stated, “Blood supplies have seriously dwindled as a result of the COVID19 health pandemic and are critically needed for local hospitals to meet the demand and continue saving lives. Please consider participating in this blood drive to help bolster our blood banks and ensure as many people as possible can be helped. Together, we can give the gift of life though a simple blood donation.” Appointments are preferred for the Town’s Blood Drive. To qualify as a donor, a person must be between the ages of 17 and 75 years old (16 with parental permission and 76 or older with a doctor’s note), weigh at least 110 pounds and not have donated blood within the last 56 days.

Additionally, all donors will receive a voucher for a free Blizzard at Dairy Queen. Councilwoman Laura Maier added, “It’s quick, easy, and safe to donate a single pint of blood which can save up to three lives. Donating blood at the Hicksville Athletic Center, is an incredible way for all of us to pitch in and give back, to help ease the burden of our Healthcare Heroes as they continue to provide lifesaving efforts.” For additional information regarding the Town’s Blood Drive, contact the Town’s Public Information Office at (516) 624-6380.

The Division Avenue High School Varsity Cheerleading team made school history by making it to the final round of the UCA National Championship. Photo courtesy of Levittown Public Schools For the first time in the program's history, the Division Avenue High School Varsity Cheerleading team in the Levittown Public School District made it to the final round of the Universal Cheerleaders Association National Championship and placed 11th out of 90 teams in the Small DII category. The team also competed in a new category, Medium Varsity Game Day, and made it to semifinals. Over the course of three days, cheer athletes competed a total of six times and put on outstanding performances each round. This talented team is comprised of all underclassmen, and is led by junior captains Danielle Kennedy, Sydney Martins, Sofia Rella and Ava Soto. The girls said they want to continue to push themselves and their teammates to the next level, and that means working harder on the off season and putting in the extra time. They have high expectations for next year. “We’ve been together since we were younger and we’re super determined,” said Sofia. “We have a deep level of trust for one another.” “We’re all like family; we spend hours every day together,” said Danielle. “We went in very prepared, and we were confident,” Ava said. “Weeks

before the competition, we got in a huddle and decided to work on the routine we had and perfect it – and that’s what we did. That’s what got us that far, the hard work that we put in.” “The feeling of moving on to the final round was incredible,” said Sydney. “Before they announce your team to move on, it’s so nerve wracking because you don’t know what will happen. We just waited, holding each other’s hands and hoping that we make it.” “When they told us that we moved on, we jumped and were so excited,” Sydney added. This is the seventh year that Coach Cristen Ronzo and Coach Liz Lynch have been coaching the varsity cheer team together. “We are so proud of this young team and the progress they made this year,” said Coach Ronzo. “Their confidence grew throughout the competition, and it showed on the judges’ scoresheets.” “Their success is evidence that there is a bright future ahead for the Division Dragons cheerleading program,” said Coach Lynch. On Feb. 20, the cheer team continued their success and placed second at the Nassau County Championship.

mit nominations of those who make a difference and enrich the lives of others.

Nominations may be submitted for any achievement or honorable cause performed by the nominee.

Weekend Getaway in Enchanting Mendocino, California BY KAREN RUBIN, ERIC LEIBERMAN & SARAH FALTER TRAVEL FEATURES SYNDICATE GOINGPLACESFARANDNEAR.COM At first blush, Mendocino on California’s northern coast is reminiscent of Cape Cod’s coastal towns but with a definite Western twist, like the wooden water towers (we wondered if they are still used, considering Mendocino’s water crisis), some repurposed into shops, like one that houses a Spells shop. This is expressed also in the charming architecture, much of it Victorian and the natural setting – high cliffs than drop into the Pacific Ocean – dramatic and spectacular. Indeed, Mendocino seems to epitomize today’s California in values and culture – the northern part, at least. The boutique shops, restaurants and markets are high end, high quality but not pretentious; they are artful and earthy.

Indeed, we join a line that has formed before the quaint restaurant with a 1940s/50s diner vibe for indoor dining and a gorgeous garden for outdoor dining even opens. The hearty menu is a vegetarian fusion of Deep South/New Orleans and NorCal (if you can imagine that), big on comfort food, served on gorgeous, random antique china with silver utensils. It’s a hoot, a feast for the eyes. You didn’t imagine Southern food could be vegan? The whole menu is vegan except for poached eggs and the preparations make you forget you’re not eating meat.

Weekend Getaway in Enchanting Mendocino, California Continued from previous page the Victorian lobby, you feel you have crossed through a time portal. But what most transfixes me is the sculpture atop the Masonic Hall, dating from 1873, “Time and the Maiden,” which has become Mendocino’s iconic landmark. I later learn that this exquisite sculpture by Erick Albertson, “the first Worshipful Master” of the Masonic Hall, was hand-carved “out of a single virgin redwood trunk,” is over 10 feet high and wasn’t specifically commissioned for the hall. Albertson, who undertook construction of the hall in 1866, “created the statue as a personal exercise of craftsmanship” but the Masonic members wanted it for the hall, so had a cupola built to support it. Also known as ‘Father Time and the Weeping Maiden,” the haunting scene depicts a weeping girl reading from a book that rests on a broken column, an hourglass at its base; she holds an urn in her left hand and a sprig of acacia in her right, as Father Time, depicted as an angel with wings and carrying a scythe, stands behind her, tenderly braiding her hair. According to Wikipedia, the hour glass symbolizes the brevity of human life; the scythe and the urn foreshadow its end; the broken column symbolizes a life cut short prematurely, the weeping maiden represents those who mourn; the open book represents the enduring record of accomplishments. Acacia

was the wood is specified in the Book of Exodus to use to build the Ark of the Covenant, and is also an evergreen known for its resistance to fire and decay, signifying the immortality of the human spirit. The symbols are drawn from history or mythology, and are used in Masonic rituals and rites. The masons have their own understanding of the symbols which boil down to “time, patience and perseverance will accomplish all things.” But to me, the girl symbolizes lives cut short – so common in Albertson’s day. Father Time is also the Angel of Death but his scythe remains in its sheath. He is taking his time, tenderly braiding her hair. Perhaps she is telling him she has not yet had the opportunity to fill the pages of that book. Perhaps we are witnessing a negotiation. Has the hour glass run out for her? The Masonic Hall was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971, and though sold to a savings bank in 1977 which operates on the first floor, the Masons continue to hold their meetings there on the second floor. Mendocino was the first of several north coast towns founded between 1851 and 1920 – the heyday of the lumber industry. German immigrant William Kasten was bound for gold country in 1850 when his ship ran aground off Mendocino coast; in 1851 he filed papers claiming the land. San Francisco engineer Harry Meiggs built a sawmill at Big River in 1852 and Little River was

founded in 1854 as a mill town supplying the lumber that built San Francisco. In 1854 Jerome B. Ford, superintendent of the first sawmill and founder of the town, built a home overlooking the Pacific. Today, the Ford House serves as the visitor center for Mendocino Headlands State Park and houses various exhibits. Many who found their fortune not in California’s gold but in lumber built these magnificent Victorian buildings. But over-logging resulted in depletion of the forests and led to businesses and the school being abandoned – until new enterprises, like the vineyards and tourism, repurposed and repopulated the area. (We stay at Little River Inn, opened by Ole Hervilla, a pioneer of Mendocino’s tourism, who converted his 1857 house into the inn in 1939). We can’t leave Mendocino without returning for a brief walk on a favorite section of the Headlands trail, just before it starts to rain. Considering the drought, I expect to see people rushing out and dancing. During our all-too brief but oh so perfect weekend in Mendocino, every moment is filled with something special, and yet so unhurried and relaxed. We are able to enjoy the Skunk Train, Glass Beach, Noyo Harbor and Headlands Coastal Trail, as well as exploring Mendocino’s lovely shops, boutiques, markets and eateries.

Annual Flower Bed Planting BY JEFF RUGG

Question: We have several bare areas where we want to plant something. We might be moving this summer, but maybe not until next year, so we don’t want to spend a lot. We have not had good luck with the packs of annual flowers in the past. How do we make annuals work? Answer: Annual flowers are usually very easy to grow. They are, by definition, plants that need to be planted new each year. There are thousands of species that are very ornamental. You can also use plants that are long-lived, but that do not tolerate a frost. Many of these tropical plants can be used as houseplants. You said the areas are bare right now. Does that mean the soil is compacted and not even the weeds are growing? A temporary fix would be to dig a shovelful of soil, turn it over, throw on a half-shovel of compost and then use a tiller to mix it. An even easier temporary fix would be to just use pots and containers, but that is not what you asked about so let’s keep going. First, you need to buy healthy plants that meet the sun and moisture conditions

of the bare areas. If there are different conditions in each area, then different plants need to go there. If the bare areas are next to sidewalks or driveways that reflect the sun’s heat, take that into consideration. Before you buy them, gently take the plants out of the pot and check the roots. They should be white, not brown and mushy. They should cover all of the areas of soil in the pot. If there are only a few, the plant has not been in the pot long enough and if they are circling around and around, it has been in too long. The top of the plant should not have lots of dead leaves; one or two small bottom ones turning yellow is OK. The stem should not have soft brown spots or long gaps where there are no leaves. Plants that are in larger pots do better than small pack plants. You will get a more immediate effect and you will need fewer plants. It may be that you will also spend less overall because of this. Larger plants have more roots and so will not dry out as fast after planting. Even if the soil is not too bad, adding a couple inches of composted organic mat-

ter will help the plants. A starter fertilizer of a slow-release type with a high middle number should be added according to the label directions. The bed should be damp when you plant into the soil. The plants should have been watered the night before and planted in the morning. Water immediately after planting. The first few weeks are critical to the success of the annual bed. The roots of the plants must get out into the soil of the bed, but they can only do this if the soil is moist and not waterlogged or dry. The plant must be set in the ground at the same level as it was growing in the pot. In other words, the soil level in the pot must be flush with the soil in the ground. If it is planted too low, the roots may rot; if it is too high, they will dry out. A thin layer of mulch over the top of the planting will help. Annuals do make the most visual impact, so if you are selling the house, they may be the best type of plant to use. If it is your landscape, you could use perennials that can be moved to other locations. Tropical trees, shrubs and houseplants all

provide interesting color in flowers and leaves. Many of these plants can then be dug up and will do well in containers on the patio, taken indoors or moved with you. Email questions to Jeff Rugg at info@ greenerview.com. COPYRIGHT 2022 JEFF RUGG DISTRIBUTED BY CREATORS

W R I T E R’S C O R N E R

Spurring the Imagination BY TOM BRENNAN In my early childhood, my day would sometimes begin with a game of Captain Midnight, which activities were based upon a few of my friends reenacting an episode that was aired on the radio the day before. Each of us took turns at being Captain Midnight, a very popular radio character who had a determined group of eager crime-fighters under his capable wing, providing a part for everyone. We also shared an avid receptiveness to advertised promotions on the radio, which often included the obligation to insert a number of product labels, or cereal box tops, which for us was an inconvenient and an expensive mandate that was sometimes far overcome by the anticipation of the mailman actually delivering a package with your name on it. We quickly became adept at rummaging through the accessible areas of garbage cans to find discarded Ovaltine jars. Ovaltine was the principal advertiser in the box top/product label forum. Ovaltine was a highly advertised chocolate drink that needed the inducement of a prize as the jar contained hard tiny pellets of chocolate colored beads that quickly sank to the bottom of a glass forming a hard lumpy mass which distracted from the lure of its purportedly delicious chocolate flavor. There were not a lot of kids on our little block so we had little to no competition for garbage can access. An upstairs friend named Peter Clark and I were both surprised that we could find so many of these discarded jars as we figured that Ovaltine was a kid’s drink. We assumed that adults would be too selective to be induced to buy a product whose pebble-like beads inevitably managed to merge magnet-like into a dark compact solid mass at the bottom of the glass. Furthermore, the pebbles appeared to have an aversion to the very milk with which it was supposed to mix and for that very reason, a glass of Ovaltine needed a vigorous constant stirring. After my one disappointing exposure to Ovaltine, I ultimately became a fan of the powdered form of milk chocolate drink. I don’t remember mailing the labels, but our vigorous pursuit at salvaging must have paid off as, eventually, the Roy Rogers glow in the dark spurs we had ordered finally arrived in an anonymous gray box that reeked of something that I eventually learned was phosphorus. We considered it a good omen that the spurs arrived on the same day. We never gave up on our vigilance, always on the lookout for the mailman, and it was Peter who excitedly knocked on my apartment door when he discovered his package in his mailbox. To give Peter

his credit, he did not open his box until I opened mine. Peter was full of excitement as he knocked on my door practically jumping up and down as he kept repeating, “Hey, Tommy, they came, they came!” No more needed to be said, as in a rush of sheer joyous anticipation, I hurried down the hallway to the mailbox to retrieve my treasure trove. The lack of any personal embellishment on the bland gray cardboard box of any kind whatsoever was to be my first disappointment as somehow I had developed the impression that Roy Rogers might have carefully packed my spurs himself. “Tommy will like these,” I had pictured Roy saying to himself as he carefully placed my spurs in an attractive box rather than in the actual dull gray box that gave me the first hint that Roy Rogers had nothing to do with this radio sponsored sales pitch. Peter and I had no idea that in later years even the gray box itself would have a value. But nothing could dispel our enthusiasm as we eagerly tore at the wrapping. In a matter of minutes, we both ran outdoors figuring we would walk around with them in the familiar confines of the backyard, but when we passed the cellar door, Peter had what I thought was a great idea: “Hey Tommy, why don’t we give them a test run in the cellar?” “Yeah, I reckon its dark in the back and we’ll be able to see the spurs glow,” I chimed in. I loved to use western words like “reckon” when I was in my cowboy mode of behavior. The very idea of our wearing spurs that glowed in the dark lent a great deal of credibility to Peter’s idea. Ours was a true cellar and not a basement, dimly lit and dark even during the daytime. I held the thought that Brooklyn landlords had access to a special type of low watt cellar bulbs that at best lent a barely discernable halo like glow. In a spurt of almost breathless excitement, we sat on the top backyard step and clipped the spurs onto the back of our Keds high top sneakers in a furious sense of anticipation of our daring walk in the unknown dark section of our apartment cellar. We were both lost in the reverie of our own thoughts. Without a word spoken, the two of us, taut with a vision of our own image of what might lay ahead, groped our way into that near totally dark atmosphere while constantly glancing back down to check out the spurs’ hazy purple glow. We were also eager to hear the advertised jingle which was described as yet another distinctive feature of these authentic western spurs. Who’s better than us we figured, as we pushed past the coal bin and walked deeper into the unfamiliar cellar maze, taking

our time, becoming more like two very cautious kids on a dare. Only after we had pushed forward to the rear of the cellar did we see those eyes, the bright, glowing, ember-lit eyes of the backyard Brooklyn alley cats into whose lair we had now unwittingly entered. Adding to their ominous specter in the near totally dark atmosphere, the glowing eyes appeared as if they were hanging in mid-air since the cats were perched on something higher up that they could see but we could not. We both saw the eerie effect at the same time, a specter that was totally frightening in its immediate impact, and we stood still almost as if in shock. We both had no sense of what to do because at first sight, neither of us had an idea what these menacing glow in the dark patterns were. “It’s the cats!” shouted Peter. He said it so loudly I could feel the tremor in his voice, but I felt relieved. I had imagined far worse things than tough Brooklyn alley cats causing the eerie effect. Then Peter said, “Let’s get outta here!” We were well aware of how fierce these feral alley cats could be in protecting their lair. Later in the day, these wide browed, darkly scarred aggressive cats, basked in the backyard’s afternoon sun not unlike lions lounging on the savanna deep in Africa. These were not cats that meowed; these were cats that scowled. This was their day/ night world of cellars into which we had unwittingly invaded, and only now recognizing this, we recovered from our stunned reaction and as best we could, and we quickly retreated, Peter leading the way. The lure of the spurs may not have lasted long, but in a way they did not disappoint. For those few moments before we were greeted by the fierce alley cats in their comfortable habitat, we could still project ourselves as being with Roy Rogers on the range. We savored the imagined feeling of being in the west rather than in a cellar, riding free and aimlessly just like Roy and his horse Trigger. I am sure we told our friends, a lit-

tle group who met on the street each day, about our little exploration, and there was satisfaction in that activity as well. The pleasure of the event was not lost in the midst of our hasty retreat, but rather the exploration became part of the lore of our daily existence on the streets of Brooklyn where after all, there were so many other adventures that lay ahead. Only in retrospect have I recognized the joy of living within the full scope of my environment that our little excursion represented. Ours was a world that was so much more physically vigorous and exciting than just having a phone in my pocket which offers a self-contained isolated pleasure that is instantaneous, but then becomes quickly forgotten. It is important to recognize that not everything gets better with time. The advertising community now holds full sway in their effort to create even more highly developed scripted adventures that are depicted on a phone’s screen which literally leaves nothing to the imagination. Yet the attraction to the phone is a solitary one, so addictive in the immediacy of its availability that youngsters can often be seen clustered together playing on their phone’s apps, with each of them alone within the grasp of their phone’s easy access. This posture is a far cry from entering a dark cellar where two boys once tried to join Roy Rogers on the range and in the process allowed them to experience an adventure the memory of which has lasted a lifetime.

More Questions About Social Security Disability Benefits BY TOM MARGENAU

Q: I have been getting Social Security disability benefits since 2010. I am coming up on my 62nd birthday and would like to know if I can file for regular Social Security and get higher retirement benefits. Also, I have a 14-year-old daughter who is currently getting benefits on my disability record. Will she get higher benefits, too? A: First of all, you are already getting “regular” Social Security. There is nothing irregular about Social Security disability benefits. I tell people to think of the Social Security disability program as an early retirement benefit that is simply paid to you before you reach retirement age because you have a disabling condition. And in fact, a Social Security disability benefit pays the same rate as a full retirement age benefit. So, you definitely do not want to switch to a reduced retirement benefit at age 62. When you reach your full retirement age, you will be automatically converted from the disability program to the retirement program. And because you are already being paid your full retirement rate, the money amount that both you and your daughter get will stay the same. So, the switchover will essentially be transparent to you. What happens behind the scenes is that once you reach your FRA, your benefits will be funded out of the Social Security retirement trust fund instead of the disability fund. Q: I’m a 50-year-old single woman. I’ve got too many physical problems to list here. I’ll just tell you that fibromyalgia is the main one. I’ve worked most of my life. And I’m still working full time now. But I think I should be getting disability benefits. Can you tell me how I go about filing for those benefits? A: Well, before I do that, I’ve got to explain something to you. The Social Security disability program is more about the inability to work than it is about your physical or mental impairments. Or to put that another way, you don’t get disability benefits from Social Security because you have a disabling condition. You get benefits because you have a disabling condition that keeps you from working. So, the fact that you have a full-time job is a pretty good indication that you don’t qualify for Social Security disability benefits. But if your conditions ever get to the point where you have to stop working, then you should file for disability benefits immediately. And if you do so, I suggest you spend 10 bucks and get my little Social Security guidebook called “Social Security -- Simple and Smart.” One of the chapters in that book explains the disability program and offers tips on getting your disability application approved. You can get the book at

Amazon and other booksellers. Q: I am 66 and getting my Social Security. My wife is 60. We have a 25-year-old son with learning disabilities and other mental problems. Despite these issues, he has worked on and off since he was 16. But it’s gotten to be too much for him, and he stopped working last year. I filed a claim for him to get “disabled adult child” benefits on my Social Security record, and it was recently turned down. Can you give us any insight into how and why a claim would be denied to someone who is very obviously disabled? A: Well, once again, I have to start out with the same point made in the answer to the prior question. It is the inability to work that is the key to getting disability benefits. So, if someone works, that could indicate they do not meet the legal definition of disability for Social Security purposes. I understand that your son isn’t working now. But in order to get “disabled adult child” benefits, you’d have to prove that your son was disabled before age 22. And you said he was working from the age of 16 on. So, his claim might have been denied because the records just didn’t show he was legally disabled before age 22. Now please bear in mind that I’m just guessing why the claim was denied. You’d have to talk to someone at the Social Security Administration to learn more. And speaking of talking to someone at the SSA, you should definitely file an appeal if you disagree with the first decision you got. And here is another thing to think about. You said your son has been working since age 16. Assuming he worked at jobs where Social Security taxes were withheld from his paycheck, he is probably eligible for Social Security disability benefits on his own record. And to get those benefits, you don’t have to prove he was disabled before age 22. You just have to prove he is disabled now. Q: I’ve been getting disability benefits for about five years now. I’m currently 58 years old. I’d like to try working again. But I’m afraid that if I do, they will cut off my disability checks. Do you have any advice? A: There are all kinds of so-called “work incentives” built into the Social Security disability program. In fact, there are so many, they fill up a 100-page booklet produced by the Social Security Administration that I have on my desk. So, the rules are just too complicated to cover in the space I have here. In a nutshell, I can tell you that you generally get a 9-month “trial work period,” during which time you can make as much money as you want and still get your Social Security checks. After those 9 months, if you are still working and making more than about $1,350 per

month, your benefits might stop. But as I said, there is WAY more to this topic than that. I suggest you go to www.socialsecurity.gov and do a search for the pamphlet, “Working While Disabled: How We Can Help.” It’s a condensed version of that 100-page book I mentioned earlier.

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

Is achieving the “American Dream” of homeownership a fleeting concept? BY PHILIP A. RAICES Now that the moratorium and forbearance programs on foreclosures, short sales, and rentals are over, what will the market look like this year? Currently there are 14,000+ foreclosures on Long Island. No one can determine how many will be able to stay in their homes, which have built up excellent equity compared with the 2008 market when most were under water on their mortgages. Today, when selling, one has a greater opportunity with the huge buyer demand and still low interest rates to walk away with money and keep your credit in good standing. But will the market continue or slow down? So many experts and professionals previously predicted a slowdown in purchasing and an increase in housing inventory. However, none of these scenarios materialized, due to the pandemic, causing many to flee the large cities. In my opinion, you become an expert when your predictions and prognostications occur on a consistent basis. Just because you are correct once, doesn’t make you an expert. Determining future events today is a very difficult, challenging and almost impossible task to know in advance what the end result will be, until it happens. Guestimates are great if they come true! Research also makes your predictions better, but because today no one has ever experienced so many unpredictable events, it’s a hard call to be very accurate. Ray Dalio, founder and CEO of Bridgewater Associates, one of the most successful hedge funds, has studied 500 years of the past rise and fall of economies and empires around the globe and who I consider a master of his trade, has provided some very insightful predictions as to where our country is headed in his new book, Principles for Dealing with “The Changing World Order” where he sees the U.S. in a very precarious position and potential decline as a world power. The excessive printing of dollars is a phase that

we are going through right now as the majority of past empires had experienced, that potentially was a factor in their demise. We are in a very similar position adding another nail in our coffin. Moreover, the loss of manufacturing jobs to China and other countries has also impeded our standard of living for a multitude of Americans. So many are employed in service jobs in the hospitality, recreation and food/restaurant industries and potentially will forever keep them from achieving a path to becoming middle class and becoming homeowners. This is one of the reasons slowly but surely over the last 20+ years our middle class has been consistently declining. The much higher cost of living, e.g. housing, food and energy has also kept more individuals and families from attaining a decent standard of living. Just look around to what is happening today with the Ukraine invasion and the price of gas. The number one answer which is very crucial is being able to gain an above average education, some way, somehow. My personal experience looking back 25 years ago, when my daughter attended Emory University ($47,000 per year+ and study abroad) and my son attended the University of Maryland School of Engineering ($27,000 per year+ & study abroad). I was fortunate enough to be in a position to somewhat afford their educations (by busting my butt!); but they contributed a portion towards their expenses and both had jobs in the summer, waitressing and working in our local movie theatre. However, they only received undergraduate degrees and the timing (luck) couldn’t have been more opportune for both of them as they were able to attain excellent positions after graduating. My daughter

was going to be a Spanish teacher and my son a Civil Engineer. After much discussion and some convincing, my daughter applied to Bloomberg Financial and with little or no business classes taken, she was hired after completing Bloomberg University to learn the requirements of her position. Eleven years later she was recruited by LinkedIn where she is currently employed as a manager of a large team in charge of Fortune 500 companies. My son has worked for Gotham, GFI Development, Shawmut and currently at Vanguard Construction. However, to achieve similar positions today, where they are employed, you would absolutely need at least a master degree and possibly PHD, due to the competition, to gain employment, assuming that there were even positions available. The problem today is the cost of education is so prohibitive. There is currently 1.61 trillion dollars of student debt. So even if you take loans out, you may be in debt for the rest of your life except for those who are fortunate of have parents be able to afford the costs or the minority of those students that become professionals, e.g. lawyers, Drs who specialize, architects, engineers, etc. who gain their Master and PhD Degrees. One must consider their education as the number one priority to attain the “American Dream” of becoming a homeowner; or if you are lucky, parental financial assistance or inheritance. The other possibility is going out and working in a field that you are interested and possibly have a passion for. Learn the ropes and then at some point go into business with a plan for yourself. Then determine how much you want to earn which will depend and be determined upon your concerted efforts, discipline actions and the sacrifice of your valuable time to get

where you need to be. You and only you will determine what path you take to become a homeowner and if you want it bad enough you’ll do whatever necessary to achieve and accomplish this and make it happen.

Cheap Source for Quality LED Lightbulbs and More Great Reader Tips BY MARY HUNT

LED LIGHTBULBS Another dollar store item you can buy cheaper without sacrificing quality: LED lightbulbs! I got this tip from a man who works at my town’s Home Energy Audit office. According to this expert, the quality is equal to those found at Home Depot and Lowe’s but so much cheaper. I now keep a stash of bulbs from my local 99 Cents Only store. Other dollar stores stock them, too. -- Jan WINDSHIELD REPAIR Call your insurance agent to report

a small crack in your car’s windshield. Many insurance companies will fix cracks or “stars” for free, provided they’re smaller in size than a quarter, in order to prevent larger claims in the future. Some companies will even send a repair person to your home or work to make it convenient for you. -- Mark SUNGLASS READERS I bought some sunglasses from the fishing department at Walmart -- magnifying glasses used for tying fishline. They are very similar to traditional over-the-

counter “readers.” I love them and they work great while reading a book in the sun. -- Cecelia REFILL FOAM PUMP I put 25 drops of liquid soap in the empty foaming hand soap container and slowly fill the remainder with cold water. Screw the pump back on and shake well. Perfect consistency. The best for refilling are Dial foam pumps. I’ve tried all and these last the longest. Soaking the pump in white vinegar once a month will increase its “pumping” lifespan. -- Kathy

Finding the Celestial Lion BY DENNIS MAMMANA I’ve been fortunate to spend more than three decades working in some of our nation’s great planetariums and, as springtime approaches each year, I always think back to elementary school and those wonderful field trips to Philadelphia’s Fels Planetarium. These introduced me to a universe I never would have experienced from behind those rickety old wooden desks at Centennial Elementary School in Easton, Pennsylvania, and inspired my lifelong passion and career. One of my favorite memories under the planetarium dome is learning how to find my way around the heavens by using the stars of the Big Dipper. You might recall from last week’s article that the Big Dipper, one of the most easily recognized star groupings in the Northern Hemisphere sky, now appears to be balancing on its “handle” in the northeastern sky after dark. “Simply connect its seven stars with imaginary lines”, the planetarium lecturer explained, “and you’ll see a bowl and a long bent handle.” This was especially fun for me since my favorite game at the time was “Connect the Dots.” I couldn’t wait for darkness to fall so I could check it out myself. I remember racing outdoors after dinner that night to connect the Dipper’s “dots” in the real sky and, sure enough, there it was, just like the astronomer said!

He explained that the Dipper’s two stars farthest from the handle were called the “pointer stars” because they pointed toward Polaris, the north star, which marked the end of the handle of the Little Dipper. He also suggested that if we could fill the Big Dipper’s bowl with water and poke a hole in its base, the water would drip onto the back of Leo, the lion. But how would I know Leo when I found it? By the backward question mark that forms the lion’s head, with the bright star Regulus at its base. He even connected those “dots” to show how, with a lot of imagination, one might trace a rough outline of a lion.

The backward question mark forms its head, and the triangle of stars on the other end forms its, well, other end. “This is too cool!” I thought. But wait a minute. It seemed to me that if I reversed the picture, it was actually easier to see a mouse. That backward question mark now traced the mouse’s long, curving tail, and the triangle formed his head and pointy nose! As I learned, it really doesn’t matter the images we conjure up; the point is that the sky is a marvelous canvas for us to enjoy. It’s remarkable how seemingly unimportant events can ignite a child’s imagination and, sometimes, even lead to a lifetime passion. In fact, much of

what I discovered under that magical planetarium dome six decades ago I continue to pass on to others who gaze skyward -- both in this column and under the starry night sky. So if you’ve got any children around, be sure to introduce them to the stars. Whether or not they seem interested, you’ll be exposing them to one of nature’s great experiences. And you just never know what lifelong passions you might ignite! Visit Dennis Mammana at dennismammana.com. COPYRIGHT 2022 CREATORS.COM

L O S T I N S U B U R B I A

A Sad State of Affairs BY TRACY BECKERMAN Whenever my husband goes out of town, I cheat. I figure what he doesn’t know won’t hurt him, and since there’s no way for him to find out that I cheated, why not have some fun while he’s out of town? Do I feel guilty about this? Maybe a bit. But only because I know that my indiscretions may eventually catch up with me in the end. You see, I don’t just have one lover. I have two. Ben AND Jerry. It’s true; I’m supposed to be dairyfree. Gluten-free, too. It’s not that I’m allergic to wheat and dairy. It’s more of an intolerance. And by intolerance, I mean that when I eat anything with gluten or dairy in it... I snore. Yes, I snore. And it’s loud. Like rocket-engine loud. Someone once measured it in decibels, and it was somewhere between a heavy-metal rock

concert and a howler monkey. I have actually heard a howler monkey and if that’s how loud I am, then I don’t blame my husband. I mean, really, who wants to be married to a howler monkey? Just to be on the safe side, and because I really missed pizza, I went for a sleep apnea test. I really hoped it wasn’t sleep apnea because then I would have to use one of those CPAP machines that make you sound like Darth Vader and wake up with so many lines on your face you look like a sharpei. The good news was that I slept like a baby. The bad news was it was definitely the pizza. It was a tough decision, but for the sake of my marriage, I chose domestic bliss over fresh bread. But when the cat is away, the mouse will play... and eat a lot of cheese, pizza and ice cream. I thought I was in the clear, but the problem was that the gluten and dairy

reaction would last for several days even after I stopped eating it, so after he got home, it was obvious that I definitely had a little something going down on the side and I knew I was going to have to come clean. But then I found a guy who makes really good gluten-free cakes and bread. And my favorite ice cream dudes, bless their hearts, started a line of dairy-free ice cream. Was it possible I could have my gluten-free chocolate lava cake and eat it, too? I made the switch while my husband was away. And then when he came home, we went to sleep, and I assumed all went well. But alas, I was wrong. “You snored last night,” he said accusingly the next day. “Did you eat wheat or dairy yesterday?” “I did not,” I replied honestly. “Well, you must have had something. What did you have?” he asked.

“The only thing I had that I didn’t make was a piece of gluten-free chocolate cake.” “Maybe you are chocolate-intolerant now, too,” he said. I glared at him. “So, you’re saying that now you think I should give up chocolate? “Maybe. If it makes you snore.” “Actually, I think you should give up something now, too,” I replied. “What?” he wondered. I smiled. “Sleeping in the bedroom.” 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!
