More Garden City school sites contaminated with lead

GCHS HOMECOMING 2016

BY RIKKI N. MASSAND Following the announcement of lead contamination of drinking and faucet water at two Garden City Schools, the Middle School and Homestead School, at the Board of Education’s meeting on September 13, the school district has learned that multiple locations in the schools have tested positive for lead levels above state environmental standards. The announcement was made by Superintendent of Schools Dr. Robert Feirsen at a meeting of the Western Property Owners Association on Tuesday at Homestead school. Two drinking fountains at Homestead had been previously identified as being contaminated with lead. At the WPOA meeting, School Board Vice President Tom Pinou told the audience that a second email has come back to the school district from the laboratory testing the water indicating the presence of lead at potable water locations in all schools except for Locust Elementary. He told residents these emails “indicated preliminary results.” “At Hemlock a faucet in the nurses’ office. Stratford also a faucet in the nurses’ office, plus one first-floor faculty room and one second-floor faculty room. At Stewart School we have a faucet in the nurses’ office and a faucet in teachers’ office. At the Middle School, a health office and a spigot that feeds into the outdoor facility for students that are practicing or playing on athletic fields. At Garden City High School it’s the See page 46

Sparks fly as committee Schools, Village fuel agreements approved presents building code ideas

Garden City High School held its annual Homecoming Parade enjoyed lovely late summer weather on September 17th. This year’s Homecoming King and Queen were Stephen Halvatzis and Jessie Harrison. See pages 66 and 67 for complete coverage.

BY RIKKI N. MASSAND At its meeting on Thursday, September 8 the Garden City Village Board of Trustees amended a resolution and voted in favor of fuel (gas and diesel) buying agreements with the Garden City Union Free School District, the Village of Mineola and the Village of Floral Park for municipal vehicles including police cars and fire chiefs’ SUVs. The moves comes as Garden City anticipates construction of its new Village

Yard gas pumps, a 2016-2017 budget capital project, to take place over the next six weeks as a start date of Monday September 12 was announced. Some past instances of fuel service agreements with neighboring municipalities lingered for discussion before the trustees came to this decision. Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi requested that one of the trustees make a motion to suspend the meeting rules and amend the agreement so that Floral

Park was not the primary fuel source, but also not excluded as a business partner. Trustee John DeMaro did so and his motion put plans in motion to cover fueling while the pumps are down. “We reached out to all three entities but received late word from the Village of Mineola and the Garden City school district late today (Thursday September 8) so it is not on the agenda. The motion to change the resolution will See page 46

As the year progresses into fall, work done by a special Mayor’s Committee on Building Code Changes appears to have reached a turning point. Ideas were set forth in a public presentation on Thursday, September 8, with committee Chairman James Bauer of Huntington Road taking the lead and delivering a PowerPoint to the Village Board of Trustees’ and a room of over 60 residents. Although no changes are determined to take effect yet, there’s much in terms of rebuttals, objections and discord from continuing from meetings at the start of 2016, when a moratorium on demolitions was rumored after several A.T. Stewart-era homes on the National Register of Historic Places were suggested to be replaced. The most glaring casualty remains 104 Sixth Street after the ADRB gave approval to demolish in May, and efforts to save the house structure from demolition fell short in July and August 1 saw it torn down.

A WORD FROM THE PUBLISHER

A bigger, brighter paper

This week’s issue is especially large to make up for several glitches that kept us from publishing some items last week. Recently we have made some changes to how we create the paper each week, and last week was sort of a perfect storm of how things could go wrong all at once. Several people complained that their items either didn’t appear or were printed incorrectly so we apologize for those errors. We added some additional pages this week to make sure those items were corrected. We hope you like the improvements we’ve been making to the look of the newspaper. We have improved the quality of our photo reproduction and are striving to make the paper look more

attractive while still fulfilling our role as the source of information for all groups in the Village. n

We are working on our annual Guide to Garden City which will be published on October 21st. If you represent a community organization and would like to be included in the Guide, you can submit information about your group online at: www.surveymonkey.com/r/GuidetoGC Alternatively, you can also fill out the coupon in our ad on page 20, or send the information by email to editor@ gcnews.com

Cooling off in September?

To the Editor: Since September has been very warm and humid for the past few years, including this year (it’s due to be in the 80’s for the rest of this week), perhaps keeping the pool open until the third weekend of September should be considered? Several families say the only time they actually use their membership is during June, when their kids go after school. Perhaps, if families thought they could also get value from their membership in September, it would attract more members? Hours could be limited, from 12-7 for example, and would likely be used by young families with under 5’s, seniors, and then the after-school kids. Colleen Wende

Pools and Parks Handicapped Access Meeting Monday Night BY RIKKI MASSAND

On Monday night September 26 at 7:30 pm, a public meeting will be held at the St. Paul’s Senior Center to address disability and handicapped access to the upgraded facilities of Community Park, including the Garden City pool. The talk comes on the heels of another successful pool season but one full of changes and capital investments designed to enhance the pool facility, the park and recreation overall for every Garden City resident. Gerard Kelly is a director with the WPOA as business liaison in charge of publicity, programs. He is leading a committee on handicapped accessibility to public parks’ facilities, and Kelly was eager to announce this coming Monday night’s meeting and encourage neighbors to attend and share their thoughts at the September 20 WPOA meeting. Over the summer Kelly has been in contact with Kevin Ocker, the vil-

lage’s department head of Recreation and Parks. In the spring he was one of few residents to tour the new pool bathhouse facility along with the Recreation Commission, and get a preliminary look at the work on the new turf athletic fields. Kelly, who walks with a cane, said that as follow-up to this pool season he and Ocker have had discussions on the needs of the handicapped and those who may simply require more assistance. He used his own dependence on a cane for example but says the committee’s focus includes seniors and those who may use walkers or be in wheelchairs. Kelly believes all residents should find convenience in the pool, what he considers “a gem of the village.” Finally, Terry McCarthy is the WPOA’s new manager of finance and taxes. He introduced himself to fellow residents of the West on Tuesday night and offered to help answer any questions on village finances.

tion, traffic will be diverted away from the other debate road closures onto Stewart Avenue. The Garden City Police Department recommends residents to make every effort to avoid these streets and recommends using Washington Avenue and Franklin Avenue for north/south travel and Old Country Road for east/ west travel.

“The World According to Gilbert and Sullivan”

GC’s Continuing Education trip to South Shore wetlands

Cast of “The World According to Gilbert and Sullivan”: Terry Hochler (alto), Michael Economos (tenor), Martin Fuller (bass), Chris Jurak (baritone), Peggy Derasmo (soprano), Thomas Z. Shepard (accompanist) The Gilbert & Sullivan Light Opera Company of Long Island will present The World According to Gilbert & Sullivan, an original musical revue written and directed by Gayden Wren, at the Ethical Humanist Society of Long Island on Saturday, October 8th, at 8 PM. Featuring songs from all 14 of Gilbert & Sullivan’s operettas, the revue is presented in a whimsical travelog format, by a congenial narrator acting as tour guide on a whirlwind journey through a “topsy-turvy” world populated by a cast of eccentric characters inhabiting far-flung locations. It includes pieces not only from Gilbert & Sullivan’s most popular works (The Pirates of

Penzance, HMS Pinafore and The Mikado), but also equally rousing and enchanting songs from their other, less well-known shows. Long time G&S fans and newcomers alike will be delighted by the fanciful situations, Gilbert’s clever lyrics and, of course, Sullivan’s beautiful music. An ensemble of the company’s finest solo voices, including Peggy Derasmo (soprano), Terry Hochler (alto), Michael Economos (tenor), Chris Jurak (baritone) and Martin Fuller (bass). They will be accompanied by Thomas Z. Shepard. Tickets are $20. To order and/or reserve tickets, visit our website at www.gilbertandsullivanli.com.

Kayakers enjoyed a trip through the South Shore wetlands BY DOUG SHEER, COMMUNITY PROGRAM COORDINATOR A beautiful sunny day greeted the 12 kayakers from Garden City School District’s Continuing Education program who registered for a trip through the wetlands of the South Shore on Saturday, September 10th. Arriving at high tide enabled the group to paddle through the cuts in the marsh islands and observe the wildlife that inhabits this unique environment.

After instructions on entering the kayaks the group was shown how to paddle effectively when making turns and backing up before they headed out on their 1 ½ hour adventure. Mr. Sheer, Continuing Education Coord-inator, talked to the group about the birds and other wildlife found throughout the wetlands and the important role the marshes play during flooding. Another exciting kayak excursion will be held in the spring of next year.

Winthrop Hospital holds Walk to Remember Winthrop-University Hospital’s Perinatal Bereavement Team invites you to join in support of family and friends whose lives have been touched by the tragic loss of an unborn or newborn child at the 13th Annual Walk to Remember on Saturday, October 1, 2016 at Field 5 of Eisenhower Park in East Meadow at 9:00 a.m. Held in recognition of National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness month, which aims to increase the community’s understanding of the grief associated with the loss of an unborn or newborn child, The Walk to Remember is just under one mile. This annual memorial event, the only walk of its kind on Long Island, enables parents, relatives and friends who have lost a child due to pregnancy complications, stillbirth, early infant loss or fetal abnormalities to walk in remembrance of their loved one. In addition to the walk, the day includes a light breakfast, a memorial service, and an opportunity for parents to share their memories through a personal page for inclusion in the Walk to Remember Scrap Book, displayed at the walk. In addition, big

brothers and big sisters are invited to make their own scrap book page for inclusion in a separate memory book. Any individuals who wish to create a personal memory page are asked to bring it with them the day of the walk. The maximum page size is 12” x 12”. At the conclusion of the walk, special certificates of remembered are given to each family. A donation of $15 per person is requested by September 23, 2016; children under 12 years of age may participate for free. Checks should be made payable to “WinthropUniversity Hospital.” All proceeds benefit Winthrop’s Perinatal Bereavement Team, which is dedicated to providing education, comfort and support to help families cope with the loss of a child. To download a registration brochure for Winthrop’s 13th Annual Walk to Remember, visit www.winthrop.org/ events. For additional information about the walk or to make a donation, contact Eileen P. Magri, PhD, RN, NE-BC, Vice President, Nursing at (516) 663-2984 or via email at: emagri@winthrop.org.

Emergency blood drive

All are invited and encouraged to participate in an Emergency Blood Drive to support Long Island Blood Services this Sunday, September 25th from 7:45 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. in the St. Joseph’s School Gymnasium at 121 Fourth Street in Garden City. Anyone between the ages of 16 and 75 who is in good health and weighs at least 110 pounds can donate blood. Healthy individuals over 75 can donate blood if they present written permission from their physician obtained within two weeks of their donation. (16 year olds must have parental consent on a Blood Center form which can be accessed at www.nybloodcenter. org) Donors should have eaten and should bring reading glasses and ID with signature. To register please call (516) 319-2459 and leave your name and phone number. Please help save lives ... Become a blood donor !

Why YOU should be a blood donor:

• There is no substitute for blood. The community blood supply depends on

donations from people like you. • Not enough people donate blood. Less than 2% of the population donates blood each year. That does not satisfy hospital needs! • The blood supply needs to be replenished constantly. Blood products have a short shelf life, only 5 to 42 days. Donated blood is immediately prepared for transfusion to patients in hospitals throughout the community. • Blood is in constant demand for accident and burn victims, surgery and cancer patients and more. • You can donate blood every 56 days. That’s up to 6 times per year. • When you donate, you get a mini-medical exam, including a blood pressure reading, iron count and temperature. • Donating blood takes only 10 to 12 minutes, and the entire process requires only about an hour of your time. • Knowing that you gave “THE GIFT OF LIFE” and those who received that gift will be forever grateful.

Adelphi University presents “Mahmoud Hamadani: Endless Roads”

“To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour.” – William Blake

The Adelphi University Exhibitions Program is pleased to present a captivating exhibition featuring the work of artist Mahmoud Hamadani: Endless Roads. “A visual exploration of basic dualisms, with which we grapple everyday, often with little awareness.” This exhibition will be on view in the Performing Arts Center Gallery (Second Floor) through Sunday, October 30, 2016. A reception will be held on Wednesday, September 28, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. Light refreshments will be served. All are welcome. “The inspiration for the Endless Roads series is best captured by the following stanza from the poem The Untimely Traveler by Azadeh Farahmand: I am the last child; in search of the origins of my belatedness forever searching all corners of desire and the endless roads of wonder…” Endless Roads is a visual narration of a perpetual search. It is a mapping of the unending and abstract nature of pursuit of beauty and meaning. What Borges intimates as “the human game of nights and days,” and Rumi refers to as the “search for that which cannot be found.” Endless Roads is autobiographical. I came to art relatively late in life after having worked in disparate

and seemingly unrelated fields for two decades. Not unlike my own search, the process of creating these drawings is akin to searching for an image as opposed to producing something preconceived. The process of making these drawings is akin to “the search for that which cannot be found.” An image appears through a process of decisions and accidents. And just as in life where much depends on chance, it’s ultimately our decisions that give shape and meaning to this out of control process.” Mahmoud Hamadani’s works are in the collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art and The British Museum. He has had numerous solo and group exhibitions in New York, Dubai and London. He is a recipient of Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant. Hamadani earned a bachelor’s degree in mathematics from State University of New York and a master’s degree in public administration from the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. He was born in Iran and lives in New York City. To view glimpses of the works online, please visit art-galleries.adelphi.edu. The Performing Arts Center Gallery is open daily from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Find us on social media: Facebook: Adelphi Exhibitions, and Twitter/ Instagram: @AUExhibitions.

One-way Plattsdale Road, police presence in west debated BY RIKKI N. MASSAND

Maureen Lyons, a resident of Plattsdale Road, has asked the Village to do something about a spate of wrongway drivers on her one-way street. According to Lyons, she’s seen cars going both ways down her one-way street for years and fears that if the Village a fatal head-on car collision before it’s too late. Correspondence from the Traffic Commission meeting back on June 18, 2015 includes a letter from Lyons and her husband Terence seeking deadend street designation for Plattsdale Road. Also in the minutes of that meeting is a similar letter from her neighbor, resident Brenden Power, who stated that in 2011 Plattsdale Road was made into a one-way street and the traffic design has “fallen short.” “It is used as a shortcut for drivers to bypass traffic on New Hyde Park Road

when traveling south. It is also a way to “cut through” to access Vassar Street when traveling north on Plattsdale,” Powers wrote to the Commission, adding that he cannot permit his children to play in front of the house because he is concerned for their safety. Maureen Lyons spoke again at the WPOA meeting on Tuesday, September 20 to rally West residents to be involved in addressing the Plattsdale Road problem. WPOA President Maureen Traxler assured Lyons that she has spoken with Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi about the issue recently, and Suozzi’s first response was suggesting a Garden City Police officer be on-site and prepared to catch drivers who go down the street the wrong way. Traxler says he also wants to be updates if situations continue to occur, and with the comments at Tuesday’s meeting she will report this to Suozzi.

Trustee Robert Bolebruch speaking to WPOA audience at the Tuesday, September 20 meeting at Homestead School. Resident Maureen Lyons (right) of Plattsdale Road brought forth safety issues with cars driving the wrong way down her one-way street.

Mobility Impaired Comm. meeting The Mobility Impaired Community will meet on Monday September 26, 7:30 PM at the Garden City Recreation Department, 108 Rockaway Avenue in the Old Senior Center. The group will get any updates on the plans for the Garden City Pool, 2017 Improvements for the Handicapped, and assess any options for Aqua Therapy in the coming winter months. There will also be discussion of other areas of concern including handicapped parking violations

and adequate spaces for an increasing Mobility Impaired population. The group will also propose ideas for a new web site and establish ways to communicate during the fall and winter months. It will meet every other month and try to use the time in between to follow up with the village administration to accomplish its goals. For any further information, please contact Gerry Kelly at 516-502-6710 or by email gkelly7th@aol.com

However going back 16 months, it was noted then to the Traffic Commission in a letter from the Lyons’ that police presence wasn’t the best solution. “It is a challenge to our police department to enforce this traffic issue as well as the parking problems on this block, as they cannot be expected to be in all places at all times,” the letter states. The Traffic Commission’s June 2015 minutes reflect a petition from residents in favor of turning Plattsdale Road into a dead-end street. But there was also opposition declared by Matthew French of 38 Adams Street, who submitted a letter requesting impact studies on the proposed conversion, stating that “it will create safety issues for all persons on Plattsdale Road and vehicles traveling on New Hyde Park Road.” At the time Deputy Mayor Richard Silver suggested that a traffic study be performed by a consultant to evaluate Plattsdale Road. A year ago Trustee Robert Bolebruch, representative of the WPOA, was the chairman of the Traffic Commission, and in 2016 Silver assumed that role. Bolebruch no longer serves a role on the Commission as he holds other titles in the village. On Tuesday night in front of the WPOA he stood with Lyons and commented on Plattsdale Road, having a chance to revisit the issue after he presided over Commission meetings with her and her neighbors bringing it up. Trustee Bolebruch says the only other thing that he could envision to alleviate the problem is closing Plattsdale Road off. However he says “that is not an option.” Bolebruch says with a fire hydrant on-site plus a gas station, the row of businesses and houses there cannot be a one-way entrance or exit to the street to get access to the fire hydrant. “I’ve talked with Police Commissioner Kenneth Jackson and Maureen (Lyons) is 100% right – you can’t just put an officer there 24/7. What happens is the officer sits in his cruiser for an hour and may give a ticket or two, and no one shows up, and the next thing they leave and 10

WPOA Secretary Shauna Quill (left, seated) and President Maureen Traxler (right, standing) listen to Trustee Bolebruch explain the Traffic Commission’s prior thoughts for a study on Plattsdale Road. minutes later somebody drives down the block the wrong way. So we have addressed it. I was chair of the commission we extended a barrier and did everything else. But at this point, from my point of view I don’t know what else can be done. If anybody has suggestions they should take them to the Traffic Commission and Village Hall,” Bolebruch explained. A resident who’s lived in the West for over 30 years was commenting on cars going too fast in the neighborhood and the ineffective nature of posted speed limits in her part of the village. She calls for an increased police presence in the West overall as she says it has been ages since she has seen “a cop car on her street.” She says this represents a stark contrast to the way policing was recognizable in the 1980s when she says in the village police cars would go up and down streets creating an added sense of security. Village Trustee Stephen Makrinos, who is the Board of Trustees’ designated police commissioner, announced that he will be speaking with GCPD Commissioner Jackson about patrols in the West immediately.

John Blume to speak on cyber security at Community Church

Friday, September 23, 2016 The Garden City News

BY MELVA VICTORINO

On Sunday, September 25th at 9:15 – 10:15 AM, John Blume will lead the Sunday Forum Series at Garden City Community Church (GCCC) on Cyber Security. John Blume is a 15 year old student at Garden City High School. He has spent many hours working in programing classes including Java, C++, game design and various coding class. This Summer, John attended a workshop at the Institute for Security, Technology and Society (ISTS) on the Dartmouth Campus. This workshop was provided for high school students, parents and teachers and partially funded by the National Security Agency (NSA). It explored current interdisciplinary research in cyber security and privacy. As our Nation’s critical infrastructure and businesses

come under cyber attack, there is an ever-increasing need to educate more students to enable the expansion of our Cyber Security. The workshop was led by Adam Goldstein, the Associate Director for Information Security with Dartmouth College Information Technology Services. John will talk on the “Exploration in Information Security and Privacy”. This is a Cyber Security program that is a must for parents, youth and all. The program will help all to understand the correct and safe on-line behavior, increase diversity and interest in cyber security and careers in the cyber security workforce of the Nation, and improve teaching methods for delivering cyber security content in K-12 computer science curricula. Ensuring that enough young people are inspired to direct their talents in this area is

critical to the future of our country’s national and economic security as we become even more reliant on cyberbased technology in every aspect of our daily lives. The Community is invited to attend the forum in the church parlor. The Garden City Community Church is part of the United Church of Christ and is an Open and Affirming congregation. Worship services are Sundays at 8:30 AM in the chapel and 10:30 AM in the sanctuary, with church school for children and a crib room for infants and toddlers during the latter service. Wednesday Service is at 8:00 PM at Gardner Hall. The Garden City Community Church is located at Stewart Avenue and Whitehall Blvd. For more information, call 516-746-1700 or visit our website at www.gardencitycommunitychurch.org.v

WHAT’S UP G.C. ?!

“Union Free” BY JOHN ELLIS KORDES Many words or expressions had entirely different meanings a hundred years ago or longer. Some fall out of favor or have their meanings change altogether. One such word is “union.” In the 19th century it was a much more common expression. For example a marriage was referred to as a union as was the United States during the Civil War. The North was called the Union and the Union must be saved! So it was during this same period when school districts were laid out on Long Island that the expression “union free school district” was common. What it meant was that the district was not part of a “union” with another district. So since Garden

City was exclusively part of one district it was considered “union free.” When I was growing up I would see it on all the school buses “Garden City Union Free School District.” Today the buses simply say “Garden City Public Schools.” The term “Union Free” has been removed although it is still the official name of the district. What happened is that during the 20th century the term “union” has been almost completely connected with labor unions. So saying “union free” on a school bus has become “politically incorrect” even though the union referred to has nothing to do with labor unions.

Sen. Hannon to host stroke awareness program

“Did you know that approximately 80% of all strokes can be prevented?” said Senator Kemp Hannon (R-Nassau). “Certain risk factors, such as eating habits, physical activity, smoking and drinking, as well as high blood pressure, atrial fibrillation (AFib), high cholesterol, diabetes and circulation problems, all can contribute to your chances of having a stroke.” Senator Hannon is urging residents to attend his free “Stroke Awareness” program being held on Thursday, September 29th, at the Garden City Senior Center (located 6 Golf Club Lane, Garden City). The event takes place from 10 - 11 am.

Senator Hannon’s guest speaker, Kathleen Michel (Administrative Director & Coordinator of the Cerebrovascular Program at Winthrop University Hospital) will explain what you need to know about the signs of stroke, including prevention and the importance of acting “FAST.” Reservations for this free event are required, and can be made by contacting Senator Hannon’s Community Office at 516-739-1700, or you can sign up online by visiting www.kemphannon.com . This event is sponsored by Senator Kemp Hannon and Winthrop University Hospital, and this location is handicap accessible.

Members of the Oktoberfest Committee have been working all year to plan for a spectacular event. (from left) Ginny Raffa, Pastor Jeff Browning, Glen Boehmer and Nancy McDonald. Resurrection Lutheran Church announces plans for its 5th Annual Oktoberfest, to be held Saturday, Oct. 8, 4 to 10:30 p.m. Returning to the stage is the seven-piece die Schlauberger band, entertaining the audience with their powerful renditions of German favorites and other crowd-pleasing tunes. (dsbworld.com) Festivities will take place rain or shine under huge tents on the church grounds. Guests will select from delicious traditional Oktoberfest fare. Imported German beer and wine will be sold and served starting at 6:30, after the Saturday night service. Be sure to save room for authentic German desserts too. “This event puts the fun in fundraiser, as our Oktoberfest has become a popular annual community event. Bring your family, bring your friends, that’s what it’s all about,” said Glen Boehmer, co-founder of Oktoberfest. Included in the fun for the evening will be chances to win raffle baskets filled with spectacular gifts donated by many local restaurants and merchants. The Oktoberfest idea became a reality back in 2012 when a group discussed different ideas and events to help raise money for the missions of Resurrection. “It needed to be a fun, family event,” said Boehmer. “The idea is to be homegrown, something different from other festivals or carnivals that take place on Long Island. We want people to have fun, and we wanted it to be a church-driven event.” According to Boehmer, Oktoberfest 2016 plans to be a bigger, better FUNdraiser this year. “The band, die Schlauberger, is a powerhouse of musical expertise. They have performed in

venues around the country, on television, in commercials and movies, and will bring a lot of energy to the evening. “We’re offering authentic German fare catered by Prost Grill & Garten, Garden City, along with more tables, chairs, and high-top tables available to accommodate guests while they enjoy their food, beverages and entertainment. We’re assembling raffle gift baskets and amazing prizes for the silent auction. We want this to be an event that people anticipate coming to next year and the year after that,” Boehmer added. The 2016 Oktoberfest planning committee includes Glen Boehmer, Pastor Jeff Browning, Maya Bensen, Lorraine Desposito, Jeanie Dietterick , Deacon Ellen Farber, Gail Haase, Chris Jones, Nancy McDonald, Ginny Raffa, and emcee for the evening, Patrick Curry. “You can’t run an event without a great team, and this is a great team,” said Boehmer. “We also couldn’t do this without our wonderful sponsors. We continue to welcome new sponsors that will make our event more enjoyable for all.” Now through Oct. 6, advance discounted tickets can be purchased online at resgc.org/oktoberfest for $30 per adult; $15 for children 12 and under (children 3 and under are free). After Oct. 6, tickets are $35 and $15. Lutheran Church of the Resurrection is a multi-site Christian community of faith, with the main campus located at 420 Stewart Ave., near Clinton Rd., in Garden City. All are invited to worship at 5:30 p.m. on Saturdays and at 8:30, 9:45 and 11 a.m. Sunday mornings, with Christian Education at 10 a.m. For more information, please contact 516.746.4426 or visit resgc.org.

Fall Street Fair With ATHENA

The annual Fall Street Fair and Festival was held under a beautiful sunny sky and with temperatures not too warm and not too cold. Shops and vendors lined both sides of the street and business seemed to be very good. The parade took place and the line of players got up to the High School in good time for the Big Game. This is the start of the football season and I am sure that they did very well for themselves. I have a habit of going early to things that I am invited to but it was nice to see some other residents who seamed to have the same habit that I have. Ann Heinzelmann and Ruthe Lacy were two early birds and Ann did seem to be happy with her purchase in one of the shops. The whole morning was beautiful and everyone seemed to be having a good time. The traditional Corn Stalks gave a nice Fall look to the street and they will last until Thanksgiving. I hear that they are put there by the folks at Feldis Florists and they will ad a nice Fall touch to the street until it’s Santa time. There was a time when various organizations in town had tables on Seventh Street to tell folks about their clubs and gave an invitation to join. That has been missing for the past few years but it was a nice opportunity to let folks know about your organization with a chance to get new members. Many of the clubs and other groups took advantage of this. Maybe clubs could think about it for next year. St. Joseph’s Church will be holding its Parish Party on Friday, November 18th at the Garden City Hotel. The invitations are out and you can bring your friends and relations. Ray and Sue Larkin are co-chairing this event but you could give them a call if you would like to assist them in any way. Sounds like a good time to me. Michael and Tara Manning are also working with the Larkins. You could give them a call as everyone knows that these events

can always use helping hands for a great success. The Community Club of Garden City and Hempstead held its Friendship Luncheon this past week at the Westbury Manor and there was a wonderful turnout for it. Judith Dolan was the chairperson of the Community Club’s event and among those who attended were: Barbara Helmus, Ann Heinzelmann, Riuth LaBosco, Maureen Fraser, Mary Polak and many others. All reported that they had a great time and a good start to the season coming up. The first General Program to start the season will be “Broadway and Beyond” on Wednesday, October 5th at 1:30 p.m. There is a guest fee of $5 per person for non-members. The Western Property Owners Association will feature Brad Gustavson as its speaker. Members of the association are in for a treat as he is well versed in his field. Don’t miss it. Isn’t it amazing how fast the time has flown? It seems as though it was yesterday that the children went back to school and now its nearly October and we are thinking about Halloween. The stores are always ahead of things and it seems that it gets earlier each year - but really it doesn’t. The Garden City Community Church has their invitations out for the annual Chrysanthemum Bridge and Lunch. It will be held on Monday, October 17th starting at noon. There will be Table Prizes and luncheon all for $25 per person. It starts at noon followed by the Bridge. Sue Baashian will be taking the reservations. Get your table together and your reservation in to Sue. Checks should be made payable to the Garden City Community Church. Have fun and good luck in playing. See you next week.
