PLANTING TREES FOR THE FUTURE

Plans nixed for homeless shelter at former hotel

BY GEORGE HABER

Members of Girl Scout Troop #3753 planted three cherry trees at South Grove School to help make the world a better place.

Fourteen fifth grade girls in South Grove Girl School troop 3753 are currently working on their Bronze award project to benefit the community. The girls planted three Kwanzan Cherry

trees in the back of South Grove school on Saturday, April 30. Fifth graders applied and received Difference Makers youth grant from Bethpage Credit Union that allowed the troop to buy

all the necessary supplies for the project. The goal of the project is helping the environment, increasing oxygen production due to proximity of the service road and making the world a better place.

has been named new curriculum associate for science and technology.

“You need to plant the seeds early to generate interest in the sciences and technology education” she explains, recalling her own

passion for biology, a science that she nurtured under the guidance of her inspirational biology teacher at the high school in upstate New York where she grew up.

The plan that was in the works to turn the former Hampton Inn in Jericho into a temporary homeless is no more. As of Thursday, May 12th, a settlement agreement was signed by Oyster Bay Town officials, that ends all plans to use the facility to house dozens of homeless families.

Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor, Joe Saladino, who headlined the signing ceremony in front of the property, said the occasion was a victory for the Town’s zoning laws.

“We gather today to celebrate an end to plans for a homeless shelter in Jericho,” said Saladino.

“This settlement is a victory for the Town of Oyster Bay’s constitutional jurisdiction over local zoning

laws, which have been in place for decades to protect our suburban quality of life.”

The original plan to open a homeless shelter at the former Hampton Inn, was instituted by former Nassau County executive, Laura Curran in 2020.

At the time, the Town successfully obtained a restraining order in Nassau Supreme Court against the County and the property owner.

The homeless shelter subsequently filed a counter suit against the Town with hope of continuing plans for the facility.

Saladino said that the Town’s zoning restrictions allow for temporary stay’s of up to 30 days and not the long term stays, as planned See page 13

Baby formula collection drive The Town of Oyster Bay has announced a partnership with Town resident Carmela Shimansky to host Baby Formula Collection Drives at local parks. Residents are invited to donate unexpired, unused formula for families who are experiencing difficulty in finding formula as the nationwide storage continues. The first Baby Formula Collection Drive will take place on Sunday, May 22, at Marjorie Post Park from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

“The nationwide baby formula shortage is causing a crisis for many families throughout Long Island,” said Town Councilman Steve Labriola. “We all know that once little ones move onto food, families are often left with extra formula in their pantries. We ask that you open your hearts and cupboards by donating unexpired, unused formula for families facing shortages and empty store shelves.”

At the start of the pandemic, Massapequa resident Carmela Shimansky launched a Facebook page “One Parent to Another,” to help mothers in need of baby formula and other childcare necessities. Working with neighbors and friends in the community, Carmela connected with local moms who had items they no longer needed and asked them to pay it forward by donating them to others.

“The goal here is really to help those families who can’t get to the stores, who can’t go from place to place trying to find what they need,” Ms. Shimansky said. “We hope to reach as many people as possible so that they can provide for their families.”

For more information on this and other upcoming events helping local families, visit Carmela’s page on Facebook, One Parent to Another, or www.oysterbaytown.com.

Sandra Magdalena, a junior at Division Avenue High School, is the third member of her family to attend the school through an international foreign exchange program. Thirty-one years ago, her father, Oscar, attended the school and in the 2019-2020 school year, her older brother, Pablo, spent his junior year at Division. Sandra is the last one in her family to travel from her home country of Spain to spend a year of public school on Long Island.

“My father, Oscar, attended Division in 1988 and met his best friend, Danny Lang, who was a fellow student,” said Magdalena. “They have been inseparable ever since, even though they now live in different countries. Danny was named our godfather and he hosted my brother when he was here and now he’s hosting me in my junior year.”

The precocious 16-year-old said that she has been living in Levittown with her host family since last August and plans to return home at the end of June.

“I’ve been in the United States for almost eight months and I wanted to have the same experiences as both my father and brother when they were here. Unfortunately my brother had a lot of things canceled due to Covid-19, but luckily I’m getting to experience all American high school has to offer.”

She said that she had been able to go to her junior prom and hang out with her friends on spring break and played on her school’s tennis team.

“School is very different in Spain compared to the United States in many ways,” said Magdalena. “In Spain there

are no sports in schools and we have to stay until 5 p.m. and have dinner with our family at 9 p.m. Things are much more lax here. We get to leave at 2:30 pm and have dinner at 5. We also get to choose many different sports to play.”

She said that in Spain there are no school teams and students have to pay to play sports in their town. There are also no athletic scholarships offered to students after they graduate high school.

“In Spain there is so much pressure as far as grades and you basically go to school to study the field you want to be in. I like the academics better here because there are a lot more options and teachers take their time with you to help you understand your subjects better.”

Magdalena said she’s really taking a liking to cooking and has learned some interesting recipes in her school’s cooking classes.

In her eight months she has spent as a junior at Division, Magdalena has made what she considers a lifelong friend.

“We are so much alike and we are absolutely inseparable. My hope is that we have the same relationship like my father has with Danny and that she comes to visit me in Spain when I go back.”

Oscar Magdalena and Danny Lang have remained closest of friends after thirty-one years. They talk to each other on the phone, FaceTime and communicate through WhatsApp on a regular basis.

The two friends make it a point to visit each other’s families twice a year.

JFK High School ranked Upcoming Events at the in top 100 in NY state Jericho Public Library John F. Kennedy High School in the Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District has been identified as a top-performing public high school

by U.S. News & World Report. The annual ranking placed JFK at No. 72 in New York State among roughly 1,200 high schools, and No. 691 in the nation among roughly 17,800 public high schools.

“We have always been proud of our high school students and administrators, who have always placed academics first,” said Dr. Mary O’Meara, superintendent of the Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District.

“With our perfect graduation rate, and high-performing student body, I am happy to see our team’s hard work recognized. Ultimately, our goal is to give all of our students the best tools possible for life after graduation.”

POBJFKHS has a total enrollment of 1,546 students with an 11:1

student-teacher ratio. The high school was juried on six indicators of school equality—college readiness, college curriculum breadth, state assessment proficiency, state assessment performance and graduation rank—to calculate its ranking. POBJFKHS earned a 96.13 on the report’s scorecard, which features the school’s 100 percent graduation rate. It also highlights that 97 percent of students demonstrate success in reading proficiency, 91 percent in science proficiency and 95 percent in mathematics proficiency.

“It brings me great pride that JFK High School has, once again, been recognized for its students’ academic accomplishments,” said James Murray, principal of POBJFKHS. “Earning a rank on this list exemplifies the teamwork and devotion of our staff, and we are proud of what we’ve been able to accomplish for our students.”

Swim lessons are available at all Town pools (Syosset-Woodbury Park, Plainview-Old Bethpage Park, Bethpage Community Park and Marjorie Post Park) for children ages 5 and older.

of our American Red Cross certified lifeguards.”

There are four two-week sessions throughout the summer. Classes are run on weekdays at 11:15 am and 12:15 p.m. for 45 minutes each.

“In defiance of our local zoning laws, the developers failed to file for the necessary building permits and to seek a change in zone for the property’s intended use. As many are aware, for nearly a year Town board members and residents of the Town have been aggressively fighting these illegal plans to convert this building into a homeless

facility.”

Over the past few years the developers faced major legal obstacles by new County Executive, Bruce Blakeman as well as numerous other County officials.

“We will never allow anyone to bypass the Town’s permitting, inspection, review, hearing and approval processes , and to bypass local code enforcement, building officials and our citizens,” said Saladino.

New York State Campgrounds Gear Up for Another Busy Season

BY KAREN RUBIN TRAVEL FEATURES SYNDICATE GOINGPLACESFARANDNEAR.COM This will be a big year for camping in New York State, following a couple of years of record attendance as people in driving distance fled COVID confinement to revel in the great outdoors. Absolutely nothing brings a family together better than camping.

Last summer, to meet the demand and also to support the newly expanded, 750-mile Empire State Trail and the Erie Canalway (so you can bike from the tip of Manhattan to Canada, and from Buffalo to Albany), the state formed a partnership between the New York Power Authority, New York State Canal Corporation and Tentrr, to open more hassle-free campsites alongside New York’s Canals this summer. As part of then-Governor Cuomo’s Reimagine the Canals initiative and the “On the Canals” excursions program, Tentrr created fully-outfitted campsites for visitors to reserve, most within a short distance of a free “On the Canals” excursion opportunity.

Each of the Canalside camping locations offers turnkey, outfitted camping facilities, allowing guests to camp in style amongst the Canals.

Each site is fully equipped with all the amenities for comfortable camping including spacious canvas tents atop a raised platform, queen size memory foam mattress, solarpowered showers, picnic tables and Adirondack chairs, set up in advance of arrival. Among the campsites available within 15 minutes of an “On the Canals” excursion include:

A short walk from our campsite in Watkins Glen state park is this spell binding scene © Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com Yankee Hill Getaway (Amsterdam, Town of Florida): Wedged between the Adirondack and Catskills parks in the Mohawk Valley, the Yankee Hill Getaway site lies on a thin strip of land between the original Erie Canal and the current Canal system. (3 sites) Oak Island Vista (Waterloo): Nestled between Cayuga and Seneca Lakes along the Cayuga-Seneca Canal, the beautiful Oak Island site offers easy access to the best of the Finger Lakes Region. (5 sites) Montezuma Canal View at Lock E-26 (Galen): Campers at Lock E-26 will wake to views of the tranquil Erie Canal and have easy access to the Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge and Northern Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge.

outdoor fun. (5 sites) To book, go to https://www.tentrr. com/pages/new-york-canals.

Reservations in New York’s magnificent state parks fill up fast (our favorites which we experienced during COVID: North-South Campground, Letchworth State Park and Watkins Glen).

New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation oversees more than 250 parks, historic sites, recreational trails and boat launches, which were visited by a record 77 million people in 2019. For more information on these sites, call 518-474-0456 or visit parks.ny.gov. To book a spot in a New York State campground, go to https://newyorkstateparks.reserveamerica.com/.

There are also a slew of private campgrounds which typically have more resort-style amenities and ambiance. Here, our favorite for facilities and really extraordinary experiences (a campsite with a full-blown

Protein For Older Adults

BY CHARLYN FARGO Can protein help you stay independent as you age?

Protein is known to slow the loss of muscle mass. Having enough muscle mass can help preserve the ability to perform daily activities and prevent disability.

Older adults tend to have a lower protein intake than younger adults due to poorer health, reduced physical activity, changes in the mouth and teeth and changes in absorption.

Recently, a research team from the United Kingdom studied whether eating more protein could contribute to helping people maintain independence. The study was published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society.

Researchers used data from the Newcastle 85+ Study conducted in the United Kingdom. This study’s researchers approached all people turning 85 in 2006 in two cities in the U.K. for participation. At

the beginning of the study in 2006-2007, there were 722 participants, 60% of whom were women. The participants provided researchers with information about what they ate every day, their body weight and height measurements, their overall health assessment (including any level of disability) and their medical records.

The researchers learned that 28% of older adults in North-East England had protein intakes below the recommended dietary allowance. The researchers noted that older adults who have more chronic health conditions may also have different protein requirements. Researchers examined the impact of protein intake on the increase of disability over five years.

The researchers’ theory was that eating more protein would be associated with slower disability development in elderly adults, depending on their muscle mass and muscle strength. And their research backed that up. Participants who ate more protein at the beginning of the study were

less likely to become disabled compared to people who ate less protein.

Dr. Nuno Mendonca, the principal author of the study, wrote in the Journal article, “Our findings support current thinking about increasing the recommended daily intake of protein to maintain active and healthy aging.”

Older adults should aim to eat about 1.0 to 1.2 grams of protein for every 2.2 pounds of body weight. For example, for a person who weighs 160 pounds, that would be about 72 grams of protein per day. That compares with the current recommendation for adults (young and elderly) at 0.8 grams of protein for every 2.2 pounds of body weight per day, or 58 grams of protein per day for a 160-pound person.

The bottom line is most adults get more than enough protein, but as you age, it may be beneficial to consume more protein to stay independent.

A Day at the Casino with Zzzabuu

BY LOU THEODORE You were reintroduced to Zzzabuu one year ago. He had arrived earlier in 2003 from the planet Zzokki in a faraway galaxy, having been dispatched to Earth on a fact-finding trip involving politicians in the United States. More recently, Zzzabuu had been selected once again for a special assignment

by The Superiors in 2021 to determine details (both pros and cons) of gambling investment opportunities on Planet Earth. As per instructions from the Superiors, Zzzabuu met with a retired, often confused, outspoken, nefarious chemical engineering professor (who shall remain nameless) in order to obtain background material and guidance prior to preparing his report on this assignment.

As promised, this third of five articles on gambling is concerned with casino gambling. This piece is particularly appropriate since New York State is now expanding casino gambling. In any event, here is my take on this betting activity.

Let’s proceed directly to the bottom line. For me, there are four modes of gambling in casinos: slots, roulette, dice, and blackjack. Before discussing each of these games, I should note two factors: all are games of chance (unlike pari-mutuel wagering – see August 1, 2021 article) and thus all chances of winning are a function of the takeout.

Remember, the takeout represents the amount of money returned to the bettor after the result of the bet has been determined, e.g., with a 5% takeout, the casino returns 95% to the bettor and retains 5% as profit. In any event, here is the lowdown on each of the 4 above games of chance.

of winning. Here is how I recommend you play. Put your money on PASS and roll the dice. If a 7 or 11 comes up on the first roll, you win and the game ends. If a 2, 3, or 12 comes up on the first roll, you lose and the game ends. If a 2, 3, 7, 11, or 12 doesn’t come up on the first roll, then 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 must come up, and the game continues. Whichever number amongst these six numbers come up on the first roll becomes “your number.” You then continue to roll the dice until either a seven (you lose) or your number (you win) comes up. The game then ends. However, after the first roll, you are provided the option to double your bet on “your number.” You should definitely avail yourself of this opportunity since the takeout on this latter bet is 0%. For example, if you roll a 4 or 10, or 5 or 9, or 6 or 8 on the first roll, the odds of winning become 2 to 1, 3 to 2, and 6 to 5, respectively. That’s it. Do not get involved with any of the

other available bets on the dice table.

Blackjack Often referred to as 21. Not my favorite; but it is the game of most of my gambling degenerate friends. The takeout is close to 0%! Many years ago, a group of MIT students started winning at the casinos by “counting.” A book describing their approach makes interesting reading but essentially involves counting cards. In the game, the dealer gets two cards (with one face-up) and the bettor gets two cards. You may request additional cards in an attempt to get as close to 21 as possible, BUT not go over 21. Whoever goes over 21 first loses.

If no one goes over, the winner is the player closest to 21. Counting? If a lot of high cards come out during the game, the bettor is at a disadvantage the next game. If a lot of low cards come out, the bettor has the advantage and should increase the bet the next game. How do

you count? Here is a simple method. I suggest assigning a -1 to discarded cards that are 2, 3, 4, or 5, and +1 to those that are 10, J, Q, or K. If your total is in the negative regime, increase the bet the next game.

I leave you with this: A day at a casino is a great day out, particularly for seniors. Follow my suggestions and you almost certainly will not get hurt. You want more? Go to the library and pick up a book on casino gambling or simply go on the Internet.

Contact me if you have any questions. Once again, just remember that LOTTO has a 50% takeout, and is therefore an ideal game for those poor in arithmetic.

I return later this year when Zzzabuu will report on sports betting.

Slots

Depending on the casino, the takeout here ranges from 1-10% with 3-4% a reasonable norm. Although it is the most popular game, I rarely – if ever – play the slots. Why? The takeout is simply too high. The game is easy to play: you simply press a button after inserting your money and wait for the results, hoping for a lot of noise.

Roulette

Once the game of royalty, the takeout here is approximately 3.5%. This one is also not for me. The game is easy to play: you put money on red or black and a number ranging from 1 to 35. The roulette wheel is spun and you hope for the circling ball to fall in the right slot.

Dice

My game. Some refer to it as craps.

I just love playing dice; it is all I play when I am in a casino. The takeout here can be as low as 0.5%; this effectively means you have close to a 50-50 chance

Social Security for Divorced Women

BY TOM MARGENAU My wife and I and a group of our neighbors were chatting the other day, and it dawned on us that there are eight houses in a row on our block in which each of the couples has been married for more than 50 years! Well, not quite.

My wife and I are the “newlyweds” on the street. We’ve only been married 48 years. But the other seven couples have all reached the half-century mark.

That’s more than 400 years of wedded bliss on our block alone. (OK, let’s be honest. It was mostly bliss. But there no doubt was a little bit of grief and sadness, or whatever is the opposite of bliss, in those 400-plus years.)

Anyway, it’s still a remarkable achievement. I think you’d be hardpressed to find another block with that many adjacent homes of marital harmony. (Interestingly, the major crossing street to our neighborhood is called “Harmony Road!”)

Having pointed that out, I know we are not the norm because we’ve all heard the statistic: at least half of all marriages in this country end up in divorce. So, I thought I’d use today’s column to address the issues faced by divorced couples -- primarily divorced women.

Let me start out with this point: With just a couple exceptions, a divorced woman is due the same kind of Social Security benefits as a married woman.

So, what kind of benefits are we talking about? Well, first of all, there would be her own Social Security retirement benefits. And she would be due those benefits whether she is single, married or divorced. Her marital status means nothing when it comes to her own benefits.

But let’s go over the rules that apply specifically to divorced women. The law says if she was married to a guy for at least 10 years, she is potentially due benefits on his Social Security account. If she has several ex-husbands, she doesn’t get benefits from all of them.

She will only get spousal benefits on the record of the guy with the highest benefit rate.

And just as with a married woman, a divorced woman will always be paid her own Social Security benefit first.

Only after she is getting whatever she is due on her own account will they look to her ex-husband’s record to see if she can get any additional spousal benefits from him. And because the spousal rate is between about 33% and 50%, there is usually a pretty good chance that her own benefit exceeds any of these smaller-percentage benefits she might be due as a divorced spouse. At least while her ex is alive, that is. Once he dies, it’s a whole different story. More about that in a minute.

But first, I need to point out one important distinction between benefits

paid to a divorced woman versus a married woman. A married woman cannot get any benefits on her husband’s account until he has signed up for Social Security himself. However, a divorced woman has a bit of an advantage when it comes to that rule. The law says a divorcee can get benefits from her ex even if he isn’t getting anything himself. He has to be old enough to be eligible for benefits, which essentially means he has to be at least 62 years old. But again, he doesn’t have to be on Social Security’s books as a current beneficiary.

As I alluded to earlier, if a woman has worked any decent amount of time, it’s a pretty good bet that her own Social Security benefit will exceed anything she might be due on a living ex-husband’s record. But if he dies, then things change. If she is over her full retirement age when that happens, her own benefit can be supplemented up to 100% of the ex’s full benefit rate.

If the ex dies when she is under FRA, she could employ the same “widow’s option” that would be available for a currently married woman. And that option let’s her start benefits on one record and later switch to higher benefits on the other record. For example, assuming she is not working, a woman could take divorced widow’s benefits as early as age 60. She’d get about 71% of her ex’s full benefit rate. Then she could switch to 100% of her own Social Security benefit at FRA. Or even wait until 70 and switch to about 130% of her own full retirement rate.

To further clarify the rules, I will answer a couple questions from some divorced women.

Q: My ex-husband recently died.

I am 58. When can I claim divorced widow’s benefits, and how much can I get?

A: At your full retirement age, you could get 100% of your ex’s Social Security. The rate is reduced roughly one half of 1% for each month benefits are taken before then, down to about 71% at age 60. In rare cases, a disabled widow can get the 71% rate as early as age 50.

Q: I am 62 and thinking of signing up for Social Security. My husband, whom I’ve been married to for 22 years, is 60. But my first husband, to whom I was married for 15 years, is 68. Can I apply for benefits from his record?

A: No. As long as you are married to husband No. 2, you can’t get any Social Security benefits from No. 1.

Q: My husband and I divorced many years ago. I have not remarried. I don’t know if he has. In fact, I don’t know anything about him except where he lives.

Will Social Security notify me when he dies so that I can file for widow’s benefits on his record?

A: Probably not. There is simply no way the Social Security Administration

can keep track of every person in this country and notify them when they might be eligible for any kind of Social Security benefit. And for years, I’ve been only half-jokingly telling divorced women in your situation this: Subscribe to the online version of the newspaper in the town where he lives -- and check the obituaries every day!

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.

Stay safe and sound with good insurance

BY PHILIP A. RAICES I always ask my client sellers and new homeowners how much insurance they carry on their homes.

Surprisingly, the answers I receive are more varied than I would’ve anticipated. I believe the reasons are varied, e.g. what companies they use, their coverage, and who their agents are that are advising them and their reasons for doing so. There are sales people and then there are those few who I would consider advisors and/or consultants, like myself, who are professional in their approach and have strong expertise in their field; totally transparent, upfront and candid in the methods of conveying the crucial and critical information that sellers, investors, purchasers, renters and lessees of residential and commercial properties require to make conscious and accurate decisions. One’s home is the most valuable asset, that the majority of homeowners in the U.S. possess. Seeking out less than the most intelligent and knowledgeable real estate broker with the greatest number of years of experience is like “playing with fire.”

When it comes to homeowner insurance, the same would be required and necessary to seek out those professionals that will not “sell you” insurance, but working in the business and not at it, to provide you with an accurate and concise proposal and accounting for your home. No one wants to pay too much for insurance, but what you do want is adequate coverage for the majority of instances, whether it be most importantly to handle fire, flood, wind damage, theft etc. as well as personal liability in the event of someone hurting themselves in your home or on your property. With global warming and unstable weather patterns, e.g. hurricanes, severe wind storms, etc. rates have increased quite a lot over the past 5-10 years. That is why checking your policies yearly and seeking out additional quotes will be a prudent path to take to make sure you are receiving the “biggest bang for your buck” for your required and necessary coverage. Piggybacking your homeowner’s with your auto insurance policy will always provide you better rates as insurance companies want all your

business, not just a part of it. Some companies will have you install a device in your car to monitor your driving, but as a bonus will provide future discounts for those safe drivers.

Also, be careful not to put in minor claims to minimize any potential future increases in your yearly premiums.

Also, take the highest deductible that you feel comfortable with, as long as you normally have few if any claims, to increase your savings. Lastly, you might want to consider an umbrella policy up and above your basic policy, assuming you have other assets and desire stronger coverage. It is not an expensive addition and you will have greater peace of mind knowing that you have a stronger position with the best policy in the event of a major lawsuit or claim.

Any work to be done inside or outside your home, must be done with a licensed and insured contractor (or you are taking your own calculated risk in the event of any issues that might arise, e.g. damage to your property, person or any individual). You will need enough coverage, in the event that you might have to sue a contractor or are being sued by anyone(ask if you have coverage for this). However, when any work is considered, one must always ask your licensed and insured contractor for an additional certificate of insurance either covering you as a person of interest or if your property is titled in a corporate name, as an additional insured with your corporate name and I also advise you to have your personal name added on that insurance certificate too. A copy must be provided to you, as the homeowner in advance before any work is commenced. Better to be safe than sorry, as I have seen so many times in the past and still see today that issues and problems can and do come about. We all want to save money, but this is one area that cutting corners will potentially work against you if proper coverage isn’t considered as it will come back later

on to potentially hurt you financially when someone gets hurts, damage occurs on your property or worse there is a fatality!

HOA’s, townhomes, condos and co-ops are no different, but in fact proper insurance is even more crucial and critical as what happens in your place and any work that is done could have an adverse affect on other unit or property owners that live next to and within the community and complex.

Fires, floods, and physical and personal damage can have an immense impact on your personal financial well being, if you have less than adequate insurance coverage. Some developments may have certain minimum requirements to protect all homeowners in the event of a major or minor issue that might occur in the future. The corporation policy for the development or building should also be reviewed yearly by the board or their attorney, to update and/ or make changes as needed. Most do not read their policies, but I do recommend that you do so and especially the fine print too and to be safe you should go over your policy with your insurance agent and be prepared to ask as many questions as possible so you will be that much more informed about your coverage and what isn’t included or should be added to your policy.

Work to be done within a development or building also must be addressed with respect to any contractor who may need substantial insurance coverage that that will be more than sufficient to handle any and all potential issues and incidents that could and sometimes do occur. The boards of co-ops, condos and HOA’s should be diligent by consistently seeking proposals on a yearly basis inquiring and ascertaining the necessary information about their insurance needs and if any changes or updates might be necessary or required. Making sure their current policy that is effect is not only adequate for the needs of the unit owners but that the pricing is fair and within the budget of the prospective development.

Insurance is extremely important

to protect you and unit owners from claims and lawsuits, so be smart and aware of your specific, “needs and wants” in your policies and don’t procrastinate so give yourself enough time to review and update your coverage in advance of your policy expiration date.

Make Friends With Vega

BY DENNIS MAMMANA Week of May 15-21, 2022 Of all the books I’ve read during my nearly six decades of stargazing -- and there have been a lot -- my favorite isn’t a technical tome like you might imagine. It’s actually the inspirational and romantic autobiography of the late amateur astronomer and comet-discoverer extraordinaire Leslie Peltier.

In this marvelous 1985 book “Starlight Nights,” Peltier writes ever-so-eloquently of his passion for stargazing and how, as a wide-eyed child one springtime evening long ago, he read about -- and met -- his very first star: Vega.

He describes his encounter like this: “Vega, at that very hour in the month of May, would be rising in the northeastern sky. I took the open book outside, walked around to the east side of the house, glanced once more at the diagram by the light that came through the east window of the kitchen, looked up toward the northeast and there, just above the plum tree blooming by the well, was Vega. And there she had been all the springtimes of my life, circling around the pole with her five attendant stars, fairly begging for attention, and I had never seen her.

“Now I knew a star!”

That same star that fired young Peltier’s imagination is still in the heavens, waiting to inspire us too. This week

we can see it glistening low in our northeastern sky after dark, just like Peltier discovered. All we have to do is go outdoors and look.

Vega is the most brilliant star in the tiny constellation of Lyra, the harp, and it’s one of the three bright stars of the grouping known as the Summer

Triangle.

Even the most casual stargazer will notice Vega’s flickering and sparkling against the dark sky. This dramatic twinkling is due not to the star itself but to the turbulent air through which its light must travel on its way to our eyes.

Gaze at Vega and you’ll be looking

Vega is the most brilliant star in the tiny constellation of Lyra, the harp, and it’s one of the three bright stars of the grouping known as the Summer Triangle.

roughly in the direction that our sun and our entire solar system is racing at about 12 miles per second. No need to worry about a collision, though. Vega lies some 25 light years away -- about 150 trillion miles -- so nearly 4,000 centuries will pass during our journey.

This brilliant white star is more than twice as large and massive -- and produces some 40 times more luminosity -than our sun. As a result, it will exhaust its fuel in only one-tenth the time, making its expected life span only about one billion years.

While it now appears rising in the northeast, Vega will one day lie in our north. In fact, one day it will replace Polaris as our North Star. This will occur because our Earth wobbles like a tilted spinning top with a period of about 25,800 years. Because of this effect, the star Vega will be located less than six degrees from the north celestial pole sometime between A.D 13,000 and 14,000.

Vega is such an amazing and beautiful star in so many ways. If you’ve found one excuse after another to put off getting outdoors to learn the stars, take a page out of Peltier’s wonderful book.

Step outside tonight and make friends with Vega!

When the Toilet Runs, Catch It

BY TRACY BECKERMAN As I was writing on my laptop in the living room, I soon became aware of a constant swooshing sound coming from down the hall. Having been down this swooshing road before, I knew immediately what the problem was.

Our toilet was running.

“What’s wrong with the toilet?” asked my husband when he noticed that the toilet seemed to be flushing forever.

“It’s running.”

“I know it’s running,” he said. “Why is it running?”

“Maybe someone is chasing it,” I said.

He rolled his eyes. Toilet paper might be in short supply, but the bad mom jokes were aplenty.

After a few phone calls, I realized that we had a bigger problem: There were no plumbers to be had. My husband offered to try to fix it himself, but

I suspected that he would be as good a plumber as he was an electrician, which was not all that good considering he’d once tried to fix a light switch, blew all the circuit breakers, and nearly burned down the house. When I’d asked him how he could have screwed it up so monumentally, he simply replied, “It’s all in the wrist.”

When the kids were little, we lived in a tiny house that had one bathroom.

It was inevitable that one day our toilet would revolt, and when it did, we couldn’t get a plumber in for two days.

We quite literally did not have a pot to... well, you know. But we did have my daughter’s potty! For the four of us. For two days.

It actually made the idea of an outhouse look good.

The bad news was, now that our kids had grown, we no longer had a potty to use. The good news was, we had a second bathroom. Still, I thought

it behooved us to get the running toilet to stop running before we had another issue, like a leak, which we also wouldn’t be able to get anyone in to fix for us.

The fact that the running toilet was in what we had designated as my husband’s bathroom allowed me to: a) point fingers and say it was his fault, and b) tell him he had to find a way to fix it, and c) stockpile air freshener in case he couldn’t.

This was good in theory, but with my husband’s checkered history in home repair, it seemed we had a better chance of solving the problem without causing a Noah’s Ark-sized deluge if I took charge. I looked online and within minutes I found a possible solution.

“I’m no plumber,” I said to my husband. “But I suspect that the problem is the doohickey inside the thingamabob

that’s not working right.”

He looked at me in utter confusion.

“The DOOHICKEY!” I repeated loudly. “In there!” I pointed to the tank.

He shrugged. I’d seen more enthusiasm from a slug.

“Argh,” I said. “I think we just need to do this.”

I walked over to the side of the toilet, adjusted the top of the tank and jiggled the handle. The toilet started to slow down and then went quiet.

“How’d you do that?” asked my husband in amazement.

I shook my hand.

“It’s all in the wrist.”

POB student siblings help others create mementos

Zoey Taylor

Aidan Taylor

A brother and sister at Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District are taking a tragic personal loss and turning it into healing experiences for others experiencing similar grief.

Aidan and Zoey Taylor founded Heidi’s Helping Hands in honor of their late mother, who passed away suddenly in 2019. The program provides arts and crafts material for the loved ones of patients at Plainview Hospital to create special keepsakes . The siblings developed Heidi’s Helping Hands after their own experience saying goodbye—which they did by creating mementos of their mother—in her final days.

“I couldn’t just sit with these feelings,” said Aidan, who is a freshman at Plainview-Old Bethpage John F. Kennedy High School. “I proposed the idea to my aunt and sister and it kind of escalated from there. My sister helps a lot with the craft part of it. I do more of the logistics and organizing people. I use my con-

nections to help create fundraisers. As a kid, I may not have a lot of connections, but I try.”

Zoey, who is an eighth grader at H.B. Mattlin Middle School, wants to spread awareness of the program. “People should know that there is an opportunity to create a memory of their loved one while they are in the hospital,” she said.

While Heidi’s Helping Hands is currently only available for patients at Plainview Hospital, the Taylor siblings would like to expand it state and nationwide.

“It's an opportunity everyone should have to connect with your loved one,” Aidan said.

“It’s not about the fame; it’s about the feeling and the idea behind it. At its core, we are just trying to help people heal through art.”

Aidan and Zoey encourage anyone interested to visit support.northwell.edu/ HeidisHelpingHands and donate to Heidi’s Helping Hands.

MacArthur High School winter athletes were recognized at the April 26 Levittown Board of Education meeting.

The Levittown Board of Education meeting on April 26 began with a bounty of recognition ceremonies, acknowledging the hard work of students, staff and community members.

Dozens of athletes from winter sports teams were recognized for their various achievements, including All-Division, All-League, AllCounty and All-Conference honors, individual and team championships, state championship qualifications, Scholar Athlete awards and other sportsmanship awards.

For Division Avenue High School, Chairperson of Physical Education and Health Sean Smith invited up athletes from the boys basketball,

girls basketball, boys bowling, girls bowling, cheerleading, winter track and wrestling teams.

The board of education honored several Levittown students who have earned the highest honors in scouting — the Gold Award from the Girls Scouts and Eagle Scout from Scouting BSA. One of the requirements was the successful completion of a community service project.

Vin and Dawn Causeman were recognized for their efforts every April during Autism Awareness Month.

They have spearheaded a T-shirt fundraiser that has raised more than $100,000 over the past decade for the Nassau-Suffolk Autism Society of America, making Levittown the highest-earning district on Long Island.

The SCOPE Award was presented to Superintendent Dr. Tonie McDonald for her 25 years of service to the district, Board of Education Vice President Jennifer Messina, and Levittown Historical Society member Bob Koenig.
