Town to hold hearing on proposed development

WATER SYSTEM ONLINE

Water District Commissioners John Sullivan, Theresa Black and John Coumatos shows off the recently approved AOP system.

New system will remove 1,4 dioxane, other contaminants from water The Bethpage Water District (BWD) has announced that its new Trojan Flex 100 treatment system recently received health department approval to begin operating and remove 1,4-dioxane from the community’s drinking water. This type of Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) technology is the first to be online in the world and is the third AOP system to come online on Long Island—the second in Bethpage. The system was required by new state regulations on emerging contaminants, which are expected to take effect on October 25th.

“The health, safety and overall well-being of our residents is and will always be the motivation behind everything we do,” said BWD Chairman John Sullivan. “We are honored to lead the way on Long Island and be the first water provider in the world to have this specific, state-of-the-art technology that is proven to remove 1,4-dioxane from our drinking water. While we have always met or surpassed all federal, state and local drinking water quality standards, this latest upgrade will improve our community’s drinking water now and

for our future generations.”

After receiving initial approval on the District’s first AOP treatment facility at Plant 6 in January 2020, the BWD broke ground on three additional facilities ahead of new maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) regulations, which were officially approved by New York State on July 30, 2020. Plant 5 is the first of the three plant sites to come online using this brand new AOP technology. AOP, when used in tandem with granular activated carbon (GAC), is the only proven treatment method See page 12

The Oyster Bay Town Board will host a public hearing on Thursday, September 17th at 7pm at Town Hall in Oyster Bay. To ensure social distancing and accommodate all residents, the Hicksville Athletic Center, Hicksville Community Center and Town of Oyster Bay Ice Skating Center in Bethpage will also offer citizens an ability to view the presentation through video conferencing which will allow for questions to be asked in real time. Space is limited at all facilities and Hicksville residents will be given priority.

At the meeting, the developer will present an overview of the 26.4-acre project and the Town Board will listen to comments from the public. To ensure all residents have an opportunity to comment, three minutes will be afforded to each speaker.

Seritage, a real estate investment trust spun off by Sears Holdings, has proposed demolition of the for-

mer Sears department store and Auto Center at 195 North Broadway. Under their proposal, the site would become home to 425 rental apartments, retail and office space, restaurants, a grocery store, cinema, fitness center and food-service kiosks. The existing TD Bank and Chipotle restaurant would remain on the site. The proposed development includes approximately 5 acres of green space.

The Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) of the site is available online the town's web site. Hard copies of the DEIS are available at the Town Clerk’s Office, Hicksville Public Library, and Town Department of Environmental Resources.

Residents and members of the public are invited to submit their comments in writing at the hearing and/or by emailing PublicComment@oysterbay-ny.gov.

Pedestrian killed in Bethpage crash

Nassau County Police are investigating a car crash that took the life of a 42 year-old man on Hempstead Turnpike in Bethpage on Monday, September 7th at 9:20 p.m.

According to police, the pedestrian was attempting to cross Hempstead Turnpike in the vicinity of Stewart Avenue when he was struck by a 2018 Jaguar traveling west-

bound. Police say the pedestrian suffered multiple traumas and was pronounced dead at the scene. His name was not immediately released.

The driver of the Jaguar, a 28-year-old man, remained at the scene and was not charged. The vehicle was impounded for a safety check.

Virtual field trips to 75th anniversary of end Town’s history home of WWII commemorated Historic Raynham Hall Museum in Oyster Bay will continue to offer ‘virtual field trips’ for classes for many schools in the area to continue to highlight the stories of resiliency during the Revolutionary War from Robert Townsend and his compatriots as members of George Washington’s spy ring.

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Raynham Hall Museum has presented more than 100 virtual programs, and reached over 3,000 students across Long Island.

Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor Joseph Saladino said, “Oyster Bay Hamlet’s history is chock full of historical importance that many of our younger residents may not be aware of, and that is why I am so delighted to see that Raynham Hall Museum has found a creative solution in virtual field trips to still be able to fulfill their important mission to preserve our history and educate our children on the past.

Virtual field trips will be held throughout the school year and will serve as an important educational supplement as faculty and students alike adapt to the ‘new normal’ we all find ourselves in!”

Raynham Hall Museum in Oyster

Bay is currently offering virtual field trips for $4 per student for each program, with no more than 2 classes per virtual program. Virtual field trips have become a proven commodity to help ease educators burden coping with new distance learning options. The program is available to libraries as well, and is designed for youngsters from grades 2-11.

The programs available at present are as follow: • The Townsends in the Revolution (4th and 5th graders, 1 hour long) • Spy Craft (4th–7th graders, 1 hour long OR an expanded version told in 5 sessions, 1 hour each) • Standing Where They Stood: Learning About Slavery in Oyster Bay (5th grade, 7th grade, 8th grade, and 11th grade, 1 hour long) • Samuel Townsend: Colonial Merchant (2nd grade, 45 minutes long) For more information regarding virtual field trips offered by Raynham Hall, interested educators should reach out to Claire Bellerjeau at cbellerjeau@ raynhamhallmuseum.org to schedule a program.

Bethpage Board of Education meetings The Bethpage Board of Education will meet on Tuesday, September 22nd and Tuesday, September 29 at the district’s administration building, 10 Cherry Ave., Bethpage.

Both meetings will take place at 7:30 p.m. and will be livestreamed on the District website, www.bethpagecommunity.com

Drucker (D - Plainview) commemorated the 75th anniversary of the conclusion of World War II at the Museum of American Armor in Old Bethpage during ceremonies held on Saturday, Aug. 29 to mark the historic milestone.

The ceremony, which featured historic armaments and the presence of World War II veterans, was held just prior to the 75th anniversary of victory over Japan Day (V-J Day). Formal surrender documents that ended World War II were signed aboard the USS Missouri on Sept. 2, 1945.

prevailed over tyranny, and the indomitable American spirit conquered oppression and evil - decisively, as one united force,” Legislator Drucker said.

“The fight to protect and preserve our freedom bears a price. The incredibly brave men and women that so many refer to as the ‘Greatest Generation’ sacrificed their lives to protect our freedom from threats emerging from every corner of the globe. We must never forget those Americans, who with their lives, cleared the path that the next generation and the generations after that will walk and follow.”

The Town of Oyster Bay has extended the summer season at Town beaches throughout the month of September.

TOBAY Beach will remain open weekends throughout September, and will be staffed with lifeguards so patrons can continue to take advantage of the nice weather and swim in the ocean. Additionally, all North Shore Beaches will remain open on the weekends, but will not be open for swimming, as no lifeguards will be on duty.

These beaches will continue to be resident only this season, as part of restrictions put into place due to the coronavirus.

Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor Joseph Saladino stated, “I am pleased to announce that the summer beach season in the Town of Oyster Bay just got extended for one full month! I know this has been a tough year for many of us here in the Town as the public health crisis of COVID-19 peaked here in New York during the spring and still continues to effect us today. So what better way to make up for the time we lost when we were advised to stay

inside than by taking advantage of the remaining beautiful weather this month, and continuing to patronize Town beaches in a safe, responsible, and socially distant manner!”

As part of the extension of the summer beach season, TOBAY Beach will be open Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays throughout the month of September, with lifeguards manning stands and protecting residents in the ocean each of these days.

Additionally, the spray park at TOBAY Beach will be remain open each of these days as well for families with young children to take advantage of. Town beaches on the North Shore will also remain open throughout the weekends of September, but swimming will not be permitted at these locations, as no lifeguards will be on duty.

Weekend beach days at all locations will continue to be for residents only.

Dr. Neil G. Blatt, D.P.M. was a beloved healthcare provider in Bethpage, NY with a big heart who believed that he, rather than his patients, was the ultimate beneficiary of his caregiving. Whether during his 25 years as a Podiatrist with Adults and Children with Learning Disabilities (ACLD) and most recently with Charles Evans Center (CEC), both in Bethpage, or in his private Podiatry practices in Bayside and Woodside, Queens for nearly five decades, Dr. Blatt dedicated his life to his work and dispensed professional expertise, hope and good humor in every diagnosis and procedure to all those he touched; and he touched the lives of many people during his career.

Despite a valiant effort fighting stage 4 colon cancer and anticipating a return to his professional duties at CEC, Dr. Blatt died of the COVID-19 coronavirus on April 21, 2020.

His life’s work was characterized by a love and respect for humanity and included a lifetime of dedication to people of special needs, for whom he often went to great lengths as part of their treatment. This included routinely making house calls for people with developmental disabilities in order to check up on them to ensure that they were in good health and in good care. His visits brought obvious joy to his patients, due in no small part to Dr. Blatt’s well known and often expressed sense of humor, a major part of his persona and outlook.

It was a gift he successfully deployed to

communicate with his patients as well as for making them feel relaxed and comfortable, whether the jokes were funny or just plain silly, according to daughter Stefani Cohen. “The outpouring of love in patient letters to our family has been overwhelming,” added Cohen. “While we are saddened to have lost our beloved father, it is such an incredible feeling to know how much he meant to people and the impact he made on their lives."

A resident of North Hills, Dr. Blatt had an innate concern for his fellow men and women, which was not limited to his professional practice alone. He was just as likely to help out family members and neighbors. As his daughter Jessica Smith observed, “he helped numerous people with simple acts of kindness whether he knew them or not, like assisting someone stuck on the side of the road or digging cars out of snow drifts. At home growing up, our kitchen table was Dad’s makeshift doctor's chair for when any kid in the neighborhood got hurt.”

“He was the ultimate caregiver,” Cohen added. “Dad was always looking to help others. It could have been a stranger on the street who needed someone to hold their groceries, or a person needing directions. You name it, he wanted to help, and he did.”

Dr. Blatt’s dedication to his family was paramount and always evident.

He never missed events involving his two daughters or his grandchildren, Alexandra and Ryan, of whom the doctor said, “were his best medicine.” Even when quarantined with the COVID-19 virus, Dr. Blatt quipped that he was okay with being home because, “he got to look at his wife Maxine every day"; the women he met as a teenager, fell in love with, and was married to for 52 years.

Dr. Blatt graduated from Brooklyn College (1966) and New York College of Podiatric Medicine (1970). He established his private practice in 1971 and in 1993 he became the Podiatrist at ACLD. Dr. Blatt was a Diplomate with The American Board of Podiatric Orthopedics & Primary Podiatric Medicine, a Fellow of the American College of Foot and Ankle Orthopedics and Medicine, as well as a member of the American Podiatric Medical Association, New York Podiatric Medical Society, and the Queen’s County Podiatric Medical Association.

For John Elliott, sailing is living. He’s been on the water for most of his 90-plus years. In all three theaters during World War 2, as a merchant seaman, and for the last 70 years sailing out of the Rockaway Point Yacht Club.

But recently John was so fatigued and short of breath, he could only walk a few steps. His aortic valve was failing. His daughter, a nurse, told John about a valve replacement procedure called TAVR. She took him to NYU Winthrop Hospital, part of NYU Langone Health. With some of the country’s highest quality TAVR programs on Long Island and in Manhattan, NYU Langone Health is a leader in this procedure. They replaced John’s valve through an artery in his leg. In no time at all, he was back to sailing off Breezy Point.

If you suffer from aortic stenosis, you may be a candidate for TAVR. To learn more, call 1-866-WINTHROP or visit nyulangone.org/tavr.

Bethpage water treatment Senior Center Sing-a-long system goes online From page 1

capable of eradicating both 1,4-dioxane, PFOA and PFOS from drinking water.

“It is no secret to us or our residents that the Northrop Grumman Plume has created significant challenges in ensuring our drinking water meets all standards, but it has not stopped us from making the necessary investments to routinely do so,” said BWD Commissioner Theresa Black. “The completion of this latest AOP treatment facility is huge for our community because it now enables us to meet our community’s water demand with a product that is well below the strict guidelines established by the State—even before compliance is required.”

The Bethpage Water District had been working on the design and imple-

mentation of its needed AOP plants well before Governor Andrew Cuomo’s July 8, 2019 initial announcement outlining the State Health Department’s proposed regulations for emerging contaminants.

While water providers could have up to three years to implement AOP treatment systems for these contaminants once the regulations are in effect, the District’s plan was to get these systems up and running without any delay.

“If it will improve our community and the quality of our water, as soon as humanly possible is the only timeline we work with,” added BWD Commissioner John Coumatos. “We still have a lot of work to do to right the wrongs of those who polluted our groundwater, but we will never stop working on behalf of our community and the residents of Bethpage.”

Jose Rosario is charged with Attempted Grand Larceny 3rd degree.

Vail Resorts’ Epic Pass comes with Special Privileges to Meet Covid-19 Precautions

BY KAREN RUBIN TRAVEL FEATURES SYNDICATE GOINGPLACESFARANDNEAR.COM Vail Resorts’ Epic Pass which gives access to dozens of resorts across the country and around the world including here in the Northeast, driving distance from New York, Long Island and the Boston metro markets - has always afforded value (paying for themselves in as few as four days of skiing). But beyond discounts and extra value, the Epic Pass this year affords membership status and priority to reserve time on the slopes in face of capacity restrictions.

And you can maximize the value by early-bird purchasing ahead of deadlines (the deadline for Vail Resorts’ Epic Pass has been extended to Sept. 17).

When you think about it, skiing is one of the best travel experiences for winter – you can’t think of a better place to socially distance and breathe fresh air in wide open spaces or a better way to be active, get blood flowing and endorphins popping and adrenalin firing. Mountain resorts also afford many safe lodging options, including condos so you can prepare your own meals. What is more, there are many spectacular mountain resorts within driving distance.

A key element in providing health protections against COVID-19 is reducing and controlling capacity, so Vail is implementing a new reservation system, with priority for Epic Pass holders:

Okemo Mountain Resort, Vermont. skiing is one of the best winter travel experiences for these unprecedented times – you can’t think of a better place to socially distance and breathe fresh air or a better way to be active, get blood flowing and endorphins popping and adrenalin firing. Vail Resorts is taking precautions to maximize safety and health, including controlling capacity on the mountain. Epic Pass holders will get priority for reservations © Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com • •

• •

Pass holders will be required to make a reservation before arriving at the mountain.

Throughout the season, pass holders will be able to make as many week-of reservations as their pass type and availability allow.

The early season will be reserved for pass holders only. Vail will begin selling lift tickets Dec. 8.

In addition to week-of reservations, pass holders can book up

•

to seven Priority Reservation Days for the core season (Dec. 8-April 4), or as many days of access as they have on their pass if less than seven. The booking window for Priority Reservation Days will open Nov. 6 and will be exclusive to pass holders until Dec. 7.

As pass holders use their Priority Reservation Days, they can book new ones, maintaining up to seven (or however many days

G O I N G P L A C E S N E A R A N D F A R

of access are remaining on their pass) at any time. In addition, pass holders can always make as many week-of reservations as they choose (or however many days of access are remaining on their pass).

Families will be able to book reservations together if they are in the same pass holder account.

While still subject to change, at this time Epic Pass holders will not need a reservation to access Vail’s partner resorts (Telluride, Sun Valley, Snowbasin, Resorts of the Canadian Rockies, Hakuba or Rusutsu in Japan).

Lift tickets (including Buddy and SWAF tickets) will go on sale on Dec. 8, with sales limited based on the number of spaces available for any given day after the exclusive pass holder reservation period. This season, lift tickets will be sold with a reservation for a specific resort on a specific date.

Lift tickets will only be sold on Vail’s websites and through its call centers. No lift tickets will be sold at the ticket window in resort but prepurchased lift tickets can be picked up at ticket windows. Guests are encouraged to purchase in advance, though guests can purchase a same day lift ticket online or through call centers, subject to availability, and then pick up the lift ticket at the ticket window. To make the reservation system as easy to use as possible, pass holders Continued on next page

Vail Resorts’ Epic Pass comes with Special Privileges to Meet Covid-19 Precautions Continued from previous page will be able to book reservations to any of the Vail resorts, and for all dates, on EpicPass.com.

To provide additional peace of mind, Vail is including Epic Coverage free this season for all pass holders which allows for refunds under certain conditions.

(Full details at epicpass.com) To give guests more time to consider the changes, the Company’s Labor Day deadline has been extended to Sept. 17, including the deadline to use pass holder credits from last season.

Other key changes to insure the health and safety of guests: • Guests will be required to wear face coverings to get on the mountain and in all parts of resort operations including in lift lines and riding lifts and gondolas.

• To maintain physical distancing on chairlifts and gondolas, only relat-

• •

•

ed parties will be seated together, or two singles on opposite sides of a four-person lift; two singles or two doubles on opposite sides of a six-person lift; or two singles on opposite sides of our larger gondola cabins.

Ski and ride school will be offered and on-mountain dining will be open, but with capacity limits Rental equipment will be fully sanitized between each guest use and rental delivery service expanded to provide enhanced options for guests to rent equipment outside of the store locations.

Health Screenings in Ski and Ride School: All employees will be required to undergo health screenings before they arrive at work; all participants will be required to undergo and confirm an online selfhealth screening prior to arriving at the mountain for their lesson.

•

•

Limiting class size of group and private lessons to a maximum six people; smaller specialty programs will not be available.

Lessons will need to be purchased in advance. A mountain access reservation will be included with the purchase of a ski school lesson. A lift ticket or eligible pass product will be required if the student will be riding a lift.

Vail Resorts and subsidiaries operate 37 world-class mountain resorts and urban ski areas, including resorts that are driving distance from the New York and Boston metro areas: Stowe, Mount Snow, Okemo in Vermont; Hunter Mountain in New York; Mount Sunapee, Attitash, Wildcat and Crotched in New Hampshire, as well as such world-renowned resorts as Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Keystone and Crested Butte in Colorado; Park City in Utah;

Heavenly, Northstar and Kirkwood in the Lake Tahoe area of California and Nevada; Whistler Blackcomb in British Columbia, Canada; Perisher, Falls Creek and Hotham in Australia.

On the New York Racing Association

BY LOU THEODORE This is not an easy article for me to write. There are half a dozen activities that impacted my life. One such activity has been/is/and probably will always be thoroughbred wagering. I’ve been betting horses since I was 16 years old when I won my first bet - $2 win on Bedazzle at the old Jamaica track that paid $10.80. I can also still remember giving testimony as a representative of the horseplayers at a Presidential Crime Commission hearing in 1976 (my testimony is in the archives). In any event, any discussion on thoroughbred betting to follow would unquestionably have to center on the New York Racing Association (NYRA).

NYRA is home to three thoroughbred racetracks in New York State: Aqueduct, in New York City; Belmont Park, in Elmont; and, Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs. (An automobile racetrack is located in Watkins Glen.)

1. Aqueduct Racetrack The genesis of the name? Aqueduct is any artificial channel built to transport water; the aqueduct may take the form of an open or enclosed canal, a tunnel, or a pipeline. Underground aqueducts were in use in ancient Mesopotamia, but the aqueducts that supplied water to ancient Rome are the most famous.

Several extensive aqueducts have been built in Europe but the most extensive aqueducts system in the world is that which supplies water to south-

ern California, including the cities of Los Angeles and San Diego. The major source of water is the Colorado River. In any event, Aqueduct Racetrack today is also home to the Resorts world Casino.

My thoughts? ? The track is an absolute dump; I haven’t been there for 11 years.

2. Belmont Park It’s Belmont Park, not Belmont, a city in San Mateo County in California or Middlesex County in Massachusetts.

The original Belmont Park opened in 1905 in Elmont, Long Island. Nearly 40,000 were in attendance on opening day. Today? NYRA has successfully converted what was once the most beautiful racetrack in the world into a fourth-class hangout for a handful of abused senior citizens. NYRA’s incompetence – no surprise since it is run by either career bureaucrats or career bureaucrat opportunists – is to blame.

I stopped going last year after NYRA knowingly shortchanged their Belmont senior ticket wagering the time had come to end their abuse and exploitation – 25 years ago, I predicted (in the Daily Racing Forms) that daily attendance would drop below 5,000. Hell, I was wrong. Prior to COVID-19, weekday attendance was under 1,000! The place is now a disaster, plain and simple … a ghost town and a manure-hole.

Thank you NYRA. Thank you Cuomo.

3. Saratoga Racecourse This track is housed in upstate Saratoga Springs, Saratoga Springs is not to be confused with Saratoga, FL, our family’s favorite vacation spot or

the city of Saratoga in Santa Clara County in California. Saratoga Springs conducts the summer meet (part of July and August) at Saratoga Race Course.

Since 1955 (1), your author has attended the races there 65 years in a row.

Weekly vacations have been reduced to a 2-night stay with the entire family at the historic Gideon Putnam, with breakfast at the fabulous Triangle Diner and dinner at Friend Bruce’s local gem Pennell’s and the overly expensive 15 Church. For me, going to Saratoga Springs is a bad habit that has gotten worse … but Mary, the kids, and the grandkids love the joint. Attend if you must, and you won’t get ripped off … you’ll get GOUGED like never before.

I won’t mince words early on, but here is how I have NYRA in the past. “… a corrupt organization that has perpetrated one of the biggest scams on an unsuspecting public”. This so-called “non-profit” organization is dedicated to maximizing profits for the thoroughbred industry at the expense of the patrons, public, and incompetent government officials (e.g., Cuomo).

The only bigger scam and fraud is the NCAA. So what’s the problem? As noted, it’s simply that NYRA has managed to destroy New York Racing as we once knew it. The sport survived two scares in the last half century. OTB first brought in a whole new group of fans.

NYRA started staggering again soon after but casinos came to their rescue in recent years. I don’t think there is

another Trump (no pun intended) card around for this industry. So the bottom line is that it is just a matter of time.

The sport CANNOT survive! Why? 1. A near 20% takeout will not sit well with crafty younger-set investors / gamblers in the future.

2. I just don’t see them ever trying to accommodate the patrons. My suggestion is that you save your money and buy a sports book stock. I just purchased 2.000 shares of William Hill (WIMHY) two weeks ago at $6.08/share.

Not a pretty picture. Let me know what you think. Incredibly, the newsletter is approaching 15,000 hits.

Solutions for Stains on Shirts and Windows

BY MARY HUNT

From time to time, I reach into the proverbial “Everyday Cheapskate” mailbag and pull out a few of your questions to answer here. My goal is to select questions that will have wide appeal. But when the question arrives with a photo showing me the problem, that gets my attention in spades.

Dear Mary: My husband wears white undershirts, and no matter what brand or fabric content, they get gray blotches in the wash.

I typically use nonchlorine bleach and fabric softener, but I recently stopped those additions, and that didn’t help. I use high-efficiency detergent. The washer is set for “whites” and the dryer to “cottons.”

I changed detergent brands and switched from powder to liquid, but the blotches still appear.

I wash my white T-shirts in the same load as his undershirts, and mine come out fine. I am including a photo from this last load of laundry so you can see this problem.

Any suggestions on why these blotches appear, how to remove existing ones and how to avoid them in the future will be very much appreciated! -- Mona Dear Mona: The pattern and location of the stains in your photo lead me to believe this is not a detergent problem. The culprit here is most likely perspiration.

My best guess is that these blotches are caused by a reaction between urea, a broken-down protein, and salts found in human perspiration, which occurs in varying degrees from one person to another.

Yellowish armpit stains in white T-shirts are a sign of the same thing -sweat that has interacted with antiperspirant ingredients, causing those stains to show up yellow.

If you’ve been washing these shirts in chlorine bleach in an attempt to remove the kind of stains I see in the photo, you’re only making matters worse.

But don’t fret! You have several options for how to remove these stains and avoid new ones in the future.

LEMON JUICE Before washing, combine equal parts lemon juice and water, and scrub until the stain is gone.

WHITE VINEGAR Add 2 tablespoons of white vinegar to 1 cup of water, and apply to the stain. Let it sit for 30 minutes before washing.

SALT Add 1 tablespoon of table salt to 1 cup of water. Sponge the solution into the stain until it’s completely gone. Launder as usual.

BAKING SODA Combine 4 tablespoons of baking

soda and 1/4 cup of water. Dab on the stain until it’s gone, and then wash.

AMMONIA Dilute household ammonia with an equal amount of water, and pour onto the stain. You don’t need to let it sit before washing; just toss it in.

HYDROGEN PEROXIDE Dilute hydrogen peroxide with an equal amount of water; apply to the stain, and let sit for 30 minutes before washing. Don’t use hydrogen peroxide on colors, as it does have similar properties to bleach.

Dear Mary: I hope you can help me out with this problem. Very hard water is leaving calcium deposits all over my windows. I have tried white vinegar, and that didn’t help. CLR seemed to work, but only a little bit.

I can’t stand to look at my windows.

Help! And thanks. -- Rosa Dear Rosa: Most hard water spots and buildup sits on the surface of the glass in windows and shower doors and can be easily removed using a mixture of vinegar and blue Dawn dishwashing liquid.

Since neither vinegar nor CLR (calcium, lime and rust remover) have worked on your windows, this leads me to believe your situation is not typical. Most likely, you have silica stains.

Silica, which is found in all-natural water in varying degrees, has bonded with the glass in your windows over time, causing them to appear “etched.”

The good news is that you may be able to remove these silica stains yourself and bring your windows back to their original clean and sparkly condition, provided they have not become permanently damaged. Are you up for the challenge?

What you need to remove fine silica that has bonded with glass is hydrofluoric acid, sold as Winsol Labs Crystal Clear 550 glass clearing agent, available in quarts and gallons, starting at about $15 from CWC Supply Inc. (1-800-830-6844).

Hydrofluoric acid eats silica off the glass.

It takes very little of this product to loosen and dissolve those stubborn deposits.

The product directions are very specific.

Make sure you read the entire label before getting started.

Good luck, and please let us know how this potential solution works out for you!

Internet Lies About Social Security Never Go Away

BY TOM MARGENAU There are so many Social Security-bashing screeds floating around on the internet. Some are full of a few halftruths, but most are outright lies. I could spend every one of my weekly columns just trying to set the record straight.

These things get passed around via emails from one gullible and naive nitwit to the next. Today, I’m going to address one that has been polluting inboxes for almost a quarter-century now.

In fact, I wrote my first column about it in 1997! It’s still around, and it’s still spreading falsehoods.

(By the way, I can give you a little clue about how to tell these diatribes are half-baked and splattered with lies.

They are full of misspellings, run-on sentences, far too many capital letters and lots of exclamation points. You just know they are written by some angry old goat sitting at the computer in his basement and letting the government-hating venom ooze from his fingertips onto the keyboard!)

As I said, there are many of these, but the one I’ll address today is headlined “WHO TOOK MY MONEY?” It goes on for several pages trying to convince you that the Democrats are to blame for all kinds of supposed transgressions with the Social Security program.

It starts out with a whopper. It says, “Democratic President Kennedy and Sargent Shriver were the first ones to misuse the Social Security account.

They used Social Security funds to start the Peace Corps.”

This is pure nonsense. It’s one of those situations where I don’t know how you disprove a negative. It simply did not happen. I don’t know what else to say.

In fact, later in his screed, the author of this garbage rebuts himself by trotting out the time-worn argument that President Lyndon Baines Johnson was the first chief executive to misuse Social Security funds and spend them on other purposes. I have explained what LBJ did about 100 times in this column. So, here comes explanation No. 101!

Because of the massive spending needed to fund the Vietnam War, Johnson’s administration was racking up huge deficits in the 1960s. But LBJ came up with a clever way to hide some of those deficits from the American people.

He noticed that the government kept a completely separate set of books for the Social Security trust funds, which were running big surpluses at the time. So, he decided to combine the Social Security accounts with the overall federal budget ledgers. This made the budget deficits appear much smaller. But it is important to note this was just a bookkeeping gimmick. He simply combined the ac-

counts on paper. He did not take one nickel out of the Social Security trust funds to spend for other purposes.

The author then goes on to say, “Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, promised that participation in the program would be completely voluntary.” That’s not true. In order to make Social Security more palatable to Republicans in Congress, the original law excluded groups of traditional Republican voters such as doctors, lawyers and other self-employed people. But they were all eventually brought into the fold. And just so you know, mandatory social insurance is not unique to the United States. There are 165 Social Security programs around the world. And all of them are mandatory. That is the only way a nationwide social insurance system can work.

This half-baked harangue next alleges that FDR promised that “participants would only have to pay 1 percent of the first $1,400 of their annual incomes into the program.”

Once again, that’s just an outright lie. The Social Security bill that FDR signed in 1935 taxed income up to $3,000.

And that same law called for an incremental adjustment to the tax rate, climbing from 1% in 1936 to 3% by 1949.

Roosevelt and all legislators knew that, as the program grew in the future, its funding would also have to grow.

The wacky writer then falsely says, “the Social Security tax rate is now 7.65 percent.” That’s a common misperception. The Social Security tax rate is 6.2%. The other 1.45% is used to fund the completely separate Medicare program.

By the way, the last time the Social Security tax rate was increased was in 1983, during the administration of Ronald Reagan, definitely not a Democrat!

And speaking of Reagan, he gets a pass on something that the internet diatribe blames on President Bill Clinton.

Specifically, the angry old goat wrote this: “Which political party started taxing Social Security? Answer: Clinton and the Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the tie breaking vote.”

In truth, Social Security benefits were first made taxable during Reagan’s administration in 1984. But I should point out here that the idea to tax Social Security benefits was one of the proposals of the 1982 National Commission on Social Security Reform. This was a bipartisan commission headed by Alan Greenspan that was charged with coming up with solutions to Social Security’s pending financial woes. In addition to taxing benefits, some of their other proposals included increasing payroll taxes and raising the retirement age from 65 to 67.

And just so you know, those proposals and resulting legislation worked.

The program has been running strong for almost four decades since those changes were made. But it is about time we set up another bipartisan commission to keep the program solvent for future generations.

But that’s a topic for another column. Back to this ridiculous rant. The author asks this question: “Which political party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants?” And he answers it this way: “That’s right.

Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Par-

ty. Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments. The Democratic Party gave these payments to them, even though they never paid a dime into it.”

Once again, that is just absolutely false. In truth, actuarial studies have shown that workers living here illegally who manage to obtain false documents, including fake Social Security numbers, and who work “above the table,” Continued on next page

Has Covid-19 impacted your credit scores?

BY PHILIP A. RAICES

I

hope that all my readers and friends had an amazing, fun and enjoyable Labor Day Weekend with that amazing perfect weather!

I have noticed since resuming my business on June 10 that there are many that have had their credit scores affected by the pandemic because of I hope all my readers had a wonderful Labor Day Weekend with family lack of income to pay their most important credit card bills, mortgages, and even Dr and hospital bills. Most companies, if you ask, have allowed hardship and deferral programs for a multitude of families and individuals who have not been able to come up with the monies to pay their bills. Fair Isaac and Company (F.I.C.O.) is the sole monopolizing company that determines your credit scores when receiving information from the three major credit reporting agencies, Experian, Trans Union, and Equifax. They receive the reports of your payment and credit profile history information from all your credit card companies, banks, mortgage companies, major retailers who issue credit cards, car loans and leases etc. that is reported and deciphered creating your credit scores and credit profile determining your credit risk as a borrower. Credit scores can range from 350 to 800 as a perfect score and can go and I have read up to 900, which I have never seen on anyone’s credit history. However, lately with respect to hospital bills, Judgments, and liens that have been watered down or removed Fair Isaac and Company as of June 2020 are now going to provide lower and more accurate credit scores, especially lowering those with scores of 600 or less separating and widening the gap between those that have attained superior credit and those that do not.

However, medical debts using FICO’s profile 9, didn’t consider unpaid medical bills as an item affecting one’s credit. So as of 2018, credit reporting agencies were no longer going to include any medical collections on your credit report up to the first 90 days, until your medical debt was at least 180 days past due.

Another point: even if your medical bill does go into collections, the latest credit scoring formulas from FICO and Vantage Score wouldn’t penalize you as much for having pastdue healthcare bills. However, the FICO scores needed for FHA (Federal Housing Authority) guaranteed loans today went from a required 580 score to a 680 score as Covid-19 has changed the present employment perimeters and business environment, making job security somewhat a thing of the past. Banks have increased the risk factors and are more risk averse than ever before because of the decreased demand and income in a certain business, such as restaurants, airlines, and the hotel hospitality sectors and don’t know really have a handle on whose job or business might be gone in 6-12 months or reduced wages might occur from the impact of the ongoing pandemic. So, unfortunately, those who would have normally qualified in the past can no longer hope to get into even their first starter home let alone their dream home today with the current and very strict and prohibitive lending requirements.

Moreover, even refinancing your mortgage will also follow the same scenario and extra costs, I have seen up to

Y O U R S O C I A L S E C U R I T Y

Internet Lies About Social Security Never Go Away Continued from previous page bers, and who work “above the table,” pump about $2 billion per year into the Social Security system and never collect a dime in benefits.

Perhaps the author is talking about the fact that immigrants who have come to this country legally are able to obtain Supplemental Security Income benefits if they are poor and over age 65 or disabled. SSI is a federal welfare program that is funded out of general tax revenues, not Social Security taxes. The SSI

program came about when Richard Nixon was president. And he definitely was not a Democrat!

Here’s the deal: People should stop trying to blame their perceived Social Security transgressions on one political party or another. Almost all Social Security legislation over the years has been the result of bipartisan efforts to make the program better for all of us.

15% and/or points and surcharges that will be added for those who may qualify, but are on the cusp of having poor, fair, or good credit scores. Banks and lending institutions are truly in control of many potential borrowers who are at their mercy and at the same time will be making a major boatload of extra money to cover themselves in the event of a default leading to a foreclosure or short sale.

So, unfortunately, there will be a slew of renters flooding the market over the foreseeable future and rental investment property should do quite well and the R.O.I (return on investment) will be excellent depending on the time of purchase. It will be very crucial to crunch the numbers right up front and know in advance how well-positioned your credit is. Also doing your research and homework to know what the rental market and comparable rents are in the area where you are purchasing so you will have a very clear picture as to whether or not the income will pay all your expenses. Lastly, whether there will be at least a 4-6% bare minimum profit in the beginning after all your expenses are paid, will be a crucial factor in analyzing what to purchase.

The lending institution will be very conservative too since it is an investment property and not your primary residence and will usually only consider 75% of your rental income and with a 25% loss factor for the time that the property would and could be potentially empty in between current and future tenants. Banks are no longer sticking their necks out and taking any risks when lending and will want you

to have 6-12 months of available monies in the bank in the event you will need to pay the mortgage when you are short on rental income. We can offer a consultation and sound advice about fixing or increasing your FICO credit profile and scores on Experian, Trans Union, and Equifax as well ways that you can improve it yourself, or as they say DYI (do it yourself) as well as also provide some information on investment properties or anything else related to selling, purchasing, renting or leasing residential or commercial properties.
