Lead found in school water fountains, more results due
FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL
BY RIKKI N. MASSAND Water from drinking fountains at Garden City Middle School and Homestead School were recently found to contain lead according to Superintendent of Schools Dr. Robert Feirsen, who spoke at the September 13 at the Board of Education meeting. “Potable water” locations at Garden City Middle School as well as one drinking fountain in the new wing of Homestead School tested above the threshold level for lead, therefore indicated to have lead levels exceeding standards deemed “actionable” by state and federal environmental authorities. While the district’s choice was to shut down students’ and faculty’s access to those specific sites at its two schools effective immediately, more measures could be coming up soon as an official laboratory report has not yet been furnished covering all other potable water sites in the Garden City district. Dr. Feirsen says the district only received an email indicating “partial and preliminary results” that warned about the contamination at Homestead and the Middle School. “It’s partial because we don’t have a real report yet. We basically have an email saying there are some spots that seem to be above the criteria threshold level. We’ll get a full report from the lab as a follow up to this and we expect that within several days. In addition they tested the buildings over time. They did a couple of buildings one day and
Garden City Public Schools welcomed back over 3,800 students on September 6th. As he does every year, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Robert Feirsen welcomed students and helped direct students at the buses as they arrived on First Day.
Board approves new deputy administrator
BY RIKKI N. MASSAND The Garden City Village Board of Trustees has approved its new secretary and deputy village administrator, appointing Joseph DiFrancisco of Floral Park to a “budgeted and existing position” in the village administration at the Thursday, September 8 meeting. The latest executive staff move comes after two additions to the finance department this summer, with approvals of Courtney Rutt Rosenblatt as
the new village auditor in July and at the August 18 Board of Trustees’ meeting, the hiring of new Deputy Village Treasurer Darcia Palmer. DiFrancisco attended the meeting and sat in the first row for the two-and-a-half hour duration, including all board discussions and a special presentation from the mayor’s committee on building code changes. His appointment as Secretary to the Board stands for the balance of the fiscal year ending on April 3, 2017.
The resolutions approved by the trustees along with his position last week set a benefits package “generally equal to those already existing for other executive staff.” Last Thursday night resident Bob Orosz read the agenda item “setting terms and conditions of employment for the position of Secretary to the Board of Trustees” and interpreted it to mean a new position was created at Village Hall. He asked about the need See page42

Village settles water pollution case, gets payout BY RIKKI N. MASSAND
The longstanding Genesco litigation the Village of Garden City has fought since 2007 has officially been settled and at the Thursday, September 8 meeting of the Board of Trustees, the associated costs became a topic of priority. As soon as the standing-room only crowd at the meeting finished the Pledge of Allegiance and a moment of silence, Mayor Nicholas Episcopia announced that the village received $10 million settlement in the decade-long environmental litigation which he said will cover in excess of $1 million in legal fees for Garden City’s attorneys in the case. He cautioned that the remaining amount was not a luxury bestowed on Garden City. “I want to make one thing very clear – this is not some bonanza that we can do whatever we want with $10 million. A few months ago we talked very specifically about our water tower (with a design and presentation from consultant H2M Water) which is now at the end of its See page 42

A WORD FROM THE PUBLISHER
A serious situation
While it is upsetting to hear that lead has been found in water from a few sources in the schools we are glad to hear that the district is being proactive in addressing the issue. While the chances are that few children drink so much water from those sources that they might be harmed, no amount of lead is acceptable for growing children. The district is right to provide bottled water at those locations until the problem is rectified. n

Retire Coach Smith’s number
To the Editor: A lot has been recently written and said on the topic of Garden City baseball coach Rich Smith. Having just graduated from Garden City High School, and having had the absolute pleasure of playing for Coach Smith and Coaches Menges and Sweeney, it occurred to me that retiring Coach Smith’s number 8 would be a fitting tribute to a man who gave his heart and soul to our baseball program. I can’t describe in words the incredibly positive effect that Coach Smith had on me and countless others, but I do know that I’m a better person for having both played for and knowing him. I can’t imagine anyone else wearing Coach Smith’s number 8 – his jersey number for many, many years – and I
SUBMITTED BY THE GARDEN CITY HISTORICAL SOCIETY’S PRESERVATION COMMITTEE Now celebrating its 50th anniversary, the Preservation Act of 1966 was established to preserve historical sites in the United States through the creation of three entities: the National Register of Historic Places, the list of National Historic Landmarks and the individual state Historic Preservation Offices. The National Register of Historic places is the nation’s official list of districts, sites, buildings, structures and objects that are significant in American history, architecture, archeology, engineering and culture. During the past 50 years, over 90,000 properties have been listed on the National Register, and designated as significant to their communities, their state and the nation. According to Newsday, the National Register includes nearly 400 sites across Long Island designated as special plac-

es worthy of preservation; 30 of those sites are in Nassau County, and among them, the “A.T. Stewart-era Buildings” is the only thematic grouping or cluster of structures. These structures, located in Garden City’s central section, are significant not only for their architectural features (some of which could not be replicated today), but also for their association with the development of one of the nation’s first planned communities. At the time the Garden City buildings were listed on the National Register (1978), the cluster consisted of 50 structures: 44 residences built between 1871-1878, a commercial block (53-55 Hilton Avenue, built in 1885), the Garden City Waterworks (1876) located at the bend of Eleventh Street and Cherry Valley Avenue, the complex at the Cathedral of the Incarnation (the church, the See house and one so-called “Apostle House”), the Cathedral School See page 17

A potential parking plan still under review for the St. Paul’s Recreation Complex could create 50 additional spaces, bringing the total number to 275. “These additional spaces could increase capacity at the site by 24 percent for a relatively low cost,” according to Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi, who has been working closely on the proposed plan with Kevin Ocker, chairman of the Board of Commissioners of Cultural and Recreational Affairs. The project would cost approximately $75,000, roughly $1,500 a space. Several residents joined Mayor Nicholas Episcopia and members of the Board of Trustees during a walkthrough of the site September 8th to review a potential layout with Mr. Ocker.

Emergency blood drive at St. Joseph’s School
All are invited and encouraged to participate in an EMERGENCY Blood Drive to support Long Island Blood Services to be held September 25th from 7:45 a.m. until 1:45 p.m. in the St. Joseph’s School Gymnasium at 121 Fourth Street in Garden City. There is a critical need for blood at this time. 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. (16 year olds must have identification and 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 call Arthur Anderson at (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.

DOCTOR,
REDEFINED AND PERSONALIZED
Dr. Daly’s concierge medical practice provides affordable, high quality medical services through a highly personalized approach to medicine. Discover what a real doctor-patient relationship can be like and see how concierge medicine is right for you.
LONG AGO,
people could contact their doctor like they contacted their neighbor. Their doctor was the one who made medical decisions, both curing disease and proactively working on prevention.
Then, as big systems took over, doctors were told how to practice and how much time they could spend with patients. Administrators directed doctors to focus on “efficiency,” while patients discovered they weren’t seeing their doctors much anymore. However, health care is not a system to me. It’s about people and care. In my practice, I focus on you, not paperwork and insurers. I give prevention a chance. I’m not rushed. I’m reachable. I keep it personal. Further, you will be seen by a doctor, not a nurse practitioner or physician assistant.
If you are looking for a doctor to take excellent care of you or your loved ones, I have one suggestion...
...Let’s begin.
HOW MY PRACTICE WORKS
For an annual or monthly fee, you receive the following internal medicine services:
• The time you need with the doctor you trust. • Same or next day appointments, email and cell phone access. • I will work with you on wellness, weight loss and exercise. • As a patient, spouses/partners have a special discount rate. Dependent children ages 17-24 are free. • I communicate with you and your family. • Your current insurance will continue to cover testing and hospitalization. • Proactive, preventive care, not just colonoscopies and mammograms, but a personal wellness plan so you can live a healthy life.

The 2016 Presidential Race: Unusual Factors BY BOB MORGAN, JR. Last week I took a shot at handicapping the overall 2016 presidential race, writing that Hillary Clinton was the favorite in the race but setting forth a number of reasons why Donald Trump has a good shot. Of course, that was written before Ms. Clinton collapsed at a 9/11 remembrance ceremony; later in the day, and rather belatedly, it was confirmed that Ms. Clinton had previously contracted pneumonia. While everyone of good will hopes for Ms. Clinton’s swift recovery, this incident cannot be good news for her campaign. As even some of her supporters concede, the handling of the medical episode adds to the perception of the former secretary as excessively secretive. But even apart from unexpected developments such as Ms. Clinton’s medical problems, this whole race has a number of special factors that could make any prediction go awry. Perhaps the biggest imponderable involves estimating the correct turnout model for this election. In recent low turnout elections in 2010 and 2014, Republicans scored big victories in the off year Congressional and state races. However, the GOP was unable to match the get out the vote operation mounted by President Obama in the 2008 and 2012 Presidential election, which was particularly strong in minority communities. Of course, this operation was helped by Mr. Obama’s role as a dynamic and articulate candidate, as well as the first African American major party nominee. It is much less clear that Ms. Clinton will be able to attract to the polls as many voters who only cast ballots occasionally as Mr. Obama did. She is nowhere near as charismatic as Mr. Obama, or even her husband. According to a recent Washington Post/ABC poll, the enthusiasm of her supporters compares unfavorably to those of Mr. Trump. Another factor that may impact overall turnout is the unprecedented disapproval levels of both Mr. Trump and Ms. Clinton. This negative attitude is likely reflected in
the high number of undecided voters in polls. This could well depress turnout, unless large numbers of voters decide to show up at the polls to prevent one of the two candidates from winning. Clearly, some turnout factors are clearly unfavorable to Mr. Trump. There has been a trend toward minority voters casting a greater share of the overall vote. This will likely hurt Mr. Trump since at best he is currently running only as well as Mitt Romney did in 2012 with minorities. Second, Mr. Trump campaign has no get out the vote operation, relying solely on the Republican National Committee. The Democrats have far more on the ground offices and operatives in key battleground states. This could make a difference in a close election. Another uncertainty this year unrelated to turnout centers around the two minor party candidates, Libertarian Gary Johnson and the Green Party’s Jill Stein. At present, the two candidates are typically drawing a combined 10 percent in polls, which seems to be drawn fairly evenly from voters who might otherwise support one of the major candidates. Neither outsider candidate is likely to attain the 15 percent needed to participate in the nationally broadcast debates. Historically, with the exception of Ross Perot in 1992 (who did qualify for the debates), minor candidates have tended to fade as the election approaches, as voters do not desire to waste their ballots on a person who cannot win. It is still unclear if this will happen again this year in light of the high disapproval ratings of Mr. Trump and Ms. Clinton, and if one of the candidates will be the disproportionate beneficiary of this falloff. There are other factors that could be added to the list – the effect of Mr. Trump’s late start in launching broadcast ads, the possible reticence of Trump supporters to express their choice in telephone (but not online) polls—and many others. The big point here is that confident forecasts on this race are made at the predictor’s peril.

See page 17 of St. Paul and the Cathedral School of St. Mary. The 44 residences ranged in scale from modest cottages to large, three-story frame villas. With the destruction of 104 Sixth Street in August, only 37 of those residences remain (others having been previously demolished; one now owned by The Garden City Historical Society). Without community awareness and action by our Village leaders, Garden City will lose more of these historic treasures to future wrecking balls or bulldozers.

City’s history, the Historical Society gift shop offers for a nominal price a book titled, “Garden City, Long Island, in Early Photographs, 1869-1919,” by former Village historian Mildred Smith, which details the history of Garden City’s first 50 years, from the vision of Alexander T.

Following a complete renovation, Community Park Fields 3 and 4 re-opened for play on Friday, September 9, 2016 with a full schedule of games on both fields. A ribbon cutting ceremony marked the occasion on Thursday, celebrating the completion of the first major project identified in the Department of Recreation and Parks Strategic Plan. Kevin Ocker, chairman of the Board of Commissioners of Cultural and Recreational Affairs, welcomed Mayor Nicholas Episcopia and members of the Board of Trustees to the ceremony, as well as Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi, Recreation Commission members, players from the Garden City Rebels and Garden City Athletic Association president Al Vanasco. “It will be an outstanding improvement and enjoyed by all that use those fields,” Mr. Ocker said. “It’s special for the kids. It’s about as good as it can be for any community,” Mr. Vanasco added. Community Park’s athletic fields sit atop of a former landfill. Over the years, subsurface decomposition and settling caused irregularity in playing surfaces, particularly Fields 3 and 4, that often resulted in unacceptable playing conditions. To address these issues, Field 3, used for softball and baseball, and Field 4, a lighted 90-foot baseball field, underwent a complete overhaul. Fields 3 and 4 are primarily used for GCAA intramural baseball, travel baseball, the Men’s softball league and Men’s adult
Rev. Joseph Fitzgerald Baseball. Approximately six to eight GCAA travel teams use Field #3 while 20 to 30 GCAA intramural teams use both fields, along with two dozen softball teams within the Recreation Department’s leagues and 10-12 independent teams. Renovations, which were completed on time and within budget, included new irrigation, synthetic turf infields and new under drain systems. Safety fencing, backstops and dugouts were also replaced.

WHAT’S UP G.C. ?!
“Déjà Vu” BY JOHN ELLIS KORDES Once again we find ourselves in the midst of an American presidential campaign. I recently saw a TV commercial in which a well dressed middle-aged man is seen seated in a chair with a white background. He looked dismayed as he gazed at the ground. Then he looked at the camera and said he could not believe his party nominated someone he just could not support. He went on to suggest the Ku Klux Klan liked him and that he would have his finger on atomic weapons and it worried him greatly that this man would be the Commander-in-Chief. The commercial ended without actually naming the candidate as it was just assumed everyone would know who it was describing. Of course the candidate it refereed to in the commercial was - Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater. Wait a minute, who did you think it was? You see, I saw the commercial recently in a PBS documentary about the 1964 presidential election between Barry Goldwater, the conservative, and Lyndon B. Johnson, the liberal. The year 1964 was the first presidential campaign to use Madison Avenue style advertising. Before then, political advertising on TV was simply the candidate seated at a table, speaking to the camera or an animated jingle. After 1964 presidential campaign ads would never be the same. Interestingly, the same themes as the above ad would be used again in 1980 against Ronald
Reagan and of course this year against Donald Trump. Fifty years on, the same play book appears to be in use. In 1964, Johnson won in a landslide as it was less than a year since President Kennedy’s assassination and there was a large sympathetic vote for Kennedy’s VP Johnson. However, it would be Johnson who would drag the country deep into the Vietnam War. By 1968, over 20,000 Americans were killed in Vietnam (by 1973 it would be over 50,000) and Johnson would not even run for a second term. Demonstrators outside the White House would chant “Hey, hey, LBJ, how many kids did you kill today?” 1964 was also the year the most infamous of all political ads ran - but only once! I am referring to the so called “daisy” ad where a little girl is seen seated in a field pulling the petals off a daisy and as the camera zooms up to her face and eye a man’s voice is heard counting down and then the image of an atomic mushroom cloud is seen exploding. Again, Goldwater’s name is not mentioned, but the point is made. Johnson ran the ad only once due to the negative reaction from the electorate. Nasty stuff politics and it always has been. What you think is new has already been seen before or as the French say, “déjà vu” (or as Yogi Berra would say, “It is déjà vu all over again!)

This the final part of the four-part series of articles by the Garden City Police Department addressing Back to School Safety Issues. In the previous three newspaper articles we addressed Safe Driving Practices, School Bus Safety and Pedestrian/Bicyclist Safety. This week’s article will cover Stranger Danger. Parents, Grandparents, Guardians and Teachers are encouraged to use this article to help teach their children about Stranger Danger.
Back to School “Stranger Danger”:
It is very important to explain to children that strangers can look like normal people, not monsters. A stranger is someone that you don’t know very well or don’t know at all. Experts recommend that parents or guardians role play with their children about just how someone might approach them such as, offering candy, asking for help, or if they’d like to come and meet their new puppy. You should teach your child to give a firm “NO” and walk away. When you role play with your children, keep it matter of fact and calm so as to not overly frighten them. Part of protecting children is not just pointing out dangers, but also teaching them confidence; this will help them to make good decisions in bad situations. Teach your children to trust their own instincts. They should trust that feeling in their gut that tells them if something is safe or not. You can describe it like the feeling in your tummy that gives you butterflies if something isn’t right. Never approach a vehicle of someone asking directions, adults don’t need directions from children. There is safety in numbers, whenever possible don’t walk alone. Carry your cell phone for use in emergencies. NEVER accept rides from strangers. Parents develop a secret password that only your family knows. Tell your kids that they should NEVER go with anyone unless they know the secret password. Make sure to tell your children that they should NEVER share this secret password with anyone. If you think you are being followed
go to the nearest business or residence for help. If you are being harassed by occupants of a vehicle, you should turn around and walk in the opposite direction. The driver will have to turn around or back up to follow you. When you are approaching your home, have your door key ready so you can enter your house without delay. Teach your children that if someone attempts to take them and grabs them, they should fall to the ground and start screaming and kicking, bite if necessary, to do anything it takes. They should make as much noise as possible and create as much diversion as possible so that they draw the attention of other people who may be in the area. If you think something is out of the ordinary report it to the police as soon as possible. Don’t wait until it’s too late. Information that the police need is: • Vehicle license plate number, make/model and color. • Gender and race of subject; approximate age, weight and height of subject. • Subject’s clothing description. • Length and color of subject’s hair; any unusual marks, scars, tattoos, jewelry, hat worn, glasses etc. • Last direction of travel of subject, either on foot or traveling by vehicle. Strangers often use the internet to prey on their victims. Home computers should be kept in a busy area of the house. Children should never give out their name, address, phone number or school name. Never arrange a face- to –face meeting with anyone they meet on-line. Never go into chat rooms unless their parents say it’s O.K. Never open emails from someone they don’t know and never go to links they don’t recognize. Children should always tell an adult if they see something on the internet that makes them feel uncomfortable. The Garden City Police Department encourages everyone to take advantage of these safety tips and the others covered in the previous three articles. If you missed any of the previous articles you can stop by the Garden City Police Department to pick up copies. The Police Department wishes everyone a safe and healthy school year.

Fall prevention awareness at Winthrop
Falls can change your life. According to the Center for Disease Control & Prevention, one out of three older people fall each year, and less than half tell their doctor.

The program, “Every Step You Take...” will be held on Thursday, September 22, 2016, at 7 PM at Winthrop’s Research & Academic Center, located at 101 Mineola Boulevard at the corner of Second Street in Mineola. Topics will address common fall hazards and preventive measures.

& Transition Specialist, will discuss “Cluttering is Bad for Your Health,” and Olivia Kitzen, RPSGT, from the Sleep Disorder Center at Winthrop, will discuss the “Importance of a Good Night’s Sleep.” In addition to a question and answer period, the program will also include information from supportive community resources.

Adelphi to host outdoor sculpture exhibition
Featuring the works of sculptors Miggy Buck, Chris Esposito, Matt Greco, Tamiko Kawata, Thea Lanzisero, Niki Lederer, and Lorryn Moore, Adelphi Exhibitions is excited to present the 2016-18 Outdoor Sculpture Biennial. The dynamic sculptures are located throughout the greenery of the charming 75-acre campus. This public exhibition will be on display through May 31, 2018. All are welcome to attend the reception on Saturday, September 17, 2016, from 1:00 to 3:30 p.m., beginning in the Ruth S. Harley University Center Lobby. A walking tour of the work with the sculptors, accompanied by al fresco refreshments, will begin promptly at 1:30 p.m. A recurrent theme in this biennial is the use of recycled materials. From Niki Lederer’s colorful works made of found repurposed plastic bottles, to Miggy Buck’s triangular abstracted figures made of repurposed wood, glass, and steel. The artist collaboration Damfino, made up of Chris Esposito and Matt Greco, primarily work with materials on hand, culled from city streets and waste bins, materials that have an inherit history. Their SS Damfino is made entirely by hand of wooden shipping pallets, reclaimed wood, and recycled materials. This artist duo has an additional sculpture in the biennial entitled Everybody Wants One as well as a solo piece from Chris Esposito entitled Barrier No.6. The pensive installation Grove by
Tamiko Kawata is constructed of safety pins. The 90 spiral sculptures are nestled freely throughout the south side of the Levermore lawn. Thea Lanzisero’s quirky organic forms are made from welded steel and are meant to reference the mechanical and physical bonds that form the human experience. Adelphi Exhibitions is also proud to include Adelphi alumna Lorryn Moore’s For The Adelphi Bunnies, in the school colors brown and gold, these Peeps-like figures have already received the title of ‘unofficial mascot’. A corresponding exhibition will be on view in the Ruth S. Harley University Center Gallery from Sunday, August 28 through Sunday, September 25, 2016. This Biennial Highlights exhibition will feature the behind the scenes workings of the installations. The combination of unique art and magnificent pathways, allows art enthusiasts and other viewers to enjoy each piece as it interacts with its surroundings on the Adelphi campus. Through the changing seasons, these impressive outdoor constructions communicate and age with their environment. To learn more about the artists and view glimpses of the exhibition, please visit art-galleries.adelphi. edu. The Ruth S. Harley University Center Gallery is open Monday through Friday, from 11:00 to 7:00 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday, from 11:00 to 4:00 p.m. Find us on social media: Facebook: Adelphi Exhibitions, and Twitter/Instagram: @AUExhibitions.

Locally, one will take place on Tuesday September 20th, at Winthrop Urology (1300 Franklin Avenue, Suite ML 6, Garden City) from 3 to 7 p.m. “Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of death in men,” said Senator Kemp Hannon (R-Nassau). “The American Cancer Society estimates 180,000 new cases of prostate cancer to be diagnosed in 2016, with more than 26,000 succumbing to the disease. Early detection of prostate cancer saves lives, which is why I’m partnering with Winthrop Urology to pr0vide
free prostate cancer screening.” Registration is required and appointments can be made by calling Senator Hannon’s Community Office at 516-739-1700. Screenings will include a PSA blood test and an optional digital rectal exam. “September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month,” said Hannon. “So now is a perfect time to schedule a free screening -- if caught early, prostate cancer can be very treatable. About one man in seven will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime, and about six cases in 10 are diagnosed in men 65 and older. It’s extremely important for men to be tested, as early as the age of 40.”

FROM THE MAYOR’S OFFICE
Mayor’s Committee on Code Changes
At the Sept 8th Board of Trustees meeting Jim Bauer, chair of the Mayor’s Committee on Code Changes, made a presentation on the Committees recommendations. Jim and his fellow Committee members did yeoman’s work researching and doing their best to recommend changes that will preserve the character of neighborhoods while respecting the rights of all property owners. Their initial recommendations are on the Village website. The proposed major changes increase the distance between neighboring homes, call for notification to neighbors before demolition of homes or extensions are started, and make sure that if a house is demolished and construction does not start quickly, the empty lot is graded and grass planted so as not to leave a hole in the ground. The proposed plan was presented to an overflowing crowd. Some Trustees did not agree with all the proposals, stating that the notification was unnecessary and the Architectural Design Review Board (ADRB) was being given too much power. One goal is to take some of the subjectivity out of the decision-making process of the ADRB thereby making their job easier. Comments from residents in attendance were all positive and in favor of the changes. Jim and other Committee members will be making presentations to the POAs and there will be some fine tuning necessary. However, we are confident that reasonable compromises can be worked out so that the mission of this project, which is to make changes to our Building Code that will preserve the character of our neighborhoods, will not be lost. We all owe these volunteers a real debt of gratitude for their hard work and fair-minded results. There will be a
By: Nicholas P. Episcopia required public hearing before the Board of Trustees can vote to enact any changes to our Building Code. Jim has requested that residents send any comments or suggestions on this topic to Village Clerk Karen Atlman via email at Kaltman@ gardencityny.net. The Committee will review these and consider any changes or suggestions that are made.
Thank You Garden City Fire Dept.
Writing on behalf of the Garden City Community, I wish to thank Fire Chief Bill Castoro and members of the Garden City Fire Department for conducting the touching 15th year anniversary ceremony of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. It was a very moving experience and assisted many of us to get through that difficult day.
Constitution Week September 17-23
The Colonel Aaron Ogden Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution has asked me to proclaim the week of September 17 through 23 as “Constitution Week” in Garden City. Our nation’s Constitution, adopted September 17, 1787, provided a fundamental document for freedom and independence, which no other country in the world has been able to emulate. We all have cause to pause and to reflect on this great heritage given to us by our forefathers. Residents are urged to fly the flag all week in observance.
Safety while walking and jogging
We are all interested in physical fitness. Please walk and jog safely. Rule number one: obey the rules of the road,
specifically for pedestrians. Jog while facing traffic, using sidewalks when possible. Obey traffic signals and signs. Avoid main thoroughfares with heavy traffic such as Clinton Road or Washington Avenue. Please remember, while every driver of a vehicle is expected to exercise due care to avoid colliding with any pedestrian, no pedestrian should suddenly leave a curb or other place of safety and walk or run into the path of a vehicle which is so close that it is impractical for the driver to stop. Wear light colors and reflective material at night. Most running shoes are made with reflective material. They are especially effective because the running shoes are always in motion. Pay attention, look where you’re going, and if you’re using your cell phone, iPod or any other device, make sure you can still hear what’s going on. Remember that the human body is no match for the automobile. When walking to a destination after dark, walk along the illuminated sidewalk. For your own safety, never take a shortcut that could bring you into a darkened area away from the view of other pedestrians or vehicular traffic. Please also share this information with your children.
Friday Night Promenade
As we end the Friday Night Promenades on Seventh Street for the season, I would like to thank everyone who was able to join in the festivities.

This is the last Friday evening we will be closing Seventh Street so I hope that you are able to bring your family out to enjoy this fun-filled evening.

They got quite a good bit of work done as well as plans to attend the Federations Luncheon at the Crest Hollow Country Club to be held in October. It is always good to see a well functioning organization and they certainly got everything done with luncheon included. Susan Bashian is chairing the Chrysanthemum Bridge to be held at the Garden City Community Church on Monday, October 17th starting at noon. The fee is $25 per person and that includes fresh homemade sandwiches plus dessert, coffee or tea. They have many prizes and the table prize has always been great too. Checks are to be made out to the Garden City Community Church and sent to Susan Bashian at 21 Nassau Blvd., Garden City NY 11530. Get your table together and plan on having a lovely afternoon. The deadline for reservations is Thursday, October 13th. The Community Club of Garden City and Hempstead will be having their first program of the season on Wednesday, October 5th and it will feature “Broadway and Beyond” with Angela and Thomas Stallone - a musical review. Sounds great to me! This will be followed by a talk on “China” given by Robert McMillan and that too is not to be missed. That will be held on Thursday, October 6th at 1 p.m. at the Garden City Casino. The Community Club started off the season with a group of two trips to see “1776” a Broadway musical at the John W. Engeman Theater and later a tour of Sagamore Hill in Oyster Bay. This club really knows what folks like and how to please them. Good for you ladies. The Garden Department of the Community Club will be hosting a
bus trip on T u e s d a y , October 11th to Wave Hill historic house that overlooks the Hudson River and was the home of many well known men, a beautiful view of the Hudson River beautiful grounds as well as a great gift shop. The children are back to school and isn’t it amazing how quickly the adjust to their classes and homework. It seems that they were never away. It will not be long before the leaves start putting on their fall colors and while it is a beautiful sight - they don’t last long so enjoy them while you can. Remember, each season has its own charm and beauty so enjoy each for what it has to give you and remember that the season will come around again next year. Another holiday is also coming and will be here before you know it and that is Halloween. You have a little over a month to get ready for it! Another event that we have to think about is not a good one and that is remembering 9/11. It does not seem that it’s fifteen years ago but the horror of that day will be forever remembered. However I don’t think that people should be charged for the privilege of honoring those who died there. As for our Fridays on Seventh Street, I think they should go on for as long as folks want them to. It can make folks get together and talk and become friendly with new people. It makes for a more united town and a friendlier one. That is not to say I think folks are not friendly here, but it makes the friendships stronger. So far, I have not heard anyone think about ending it. Now I can think it will drift off as the weather gets colder and snow could be the end till Spring. What do you think? See you next week.

The Beatles as a course - Garden City and the weather too!
Take a Magical Mystery History Tour with historian and life long Beatle fan John Ellis Kordes. Garden City Public Schools Continuing Education is now offering a five week course entitled “The Beatles Story.” Kordes will explore the origins of the group in Liverpool, England, and how they struggled in the early years before exploding on the world scene in 1964. This multi-media presentation is an opportunity to learn the stories behind each album and how four young men who could neither read nor write music changed the culture, fashions and the entire music industry while becoming the most famous and successful musical group in the world before breaking up in 1970. Many colleges and universities have been offering similar courses as a half a century later the Beatles remain a major musical and cultural influence around the world. Another course being offered is entitled “Garden City - The Whole Story.” From the beginning, under the hand of A.T. Stewart, through the Garden City Company years, and finally incorporation, Garden City’s whole story will come alive in this fascinating course. Historian John Ellis Kordes, whose name has been synonymous with Garden City’s history for over 25 years, will use excerpts from his popular documentary film “A.T. Stewart’s Garden City” to help tell “the whole story.” A third and new course called “The Weather and You” will also be taught by John Ellis Kordes who has studied meteorology for most of his life. The course will give a basic understanding of the weather that affects us every day and can seem so confusing on the evening news. From the polar vortex to El Niño, from
George Harrison, John Lennon, Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney are the subject of an entertaining course entitled “The Beatles Story.” high pressure and low pressure, hurricanes, freezing rain, thunderstorms, tornadoes and so much more will all be explained in this fascinating course. All three courses will be taught in the evening from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Garden City High School. “The Weather and You” will begin on October 11th.
“The Beatles Story” will begin on October 19th. “Garden City - The Whole Story” will begin on November 22nd. For more information Education at 478-1070.

The shores of Montauk saw something unique this past weekend, as a hoard of smiling faces greeted special needs children who arrived from Manhattan to Montauk. Ally Hildreth participated in the 2-day surf therapy event sponsored by A Walk on Water, a California-based non-profit group that focuses on helping special needs kids experience the thrill of surfing. Ally, right at home in the surf break at Ditch Plains Beach, was able to provide guided surf instruction to kids of all ages. Ally, a junior, is an officer in the Garden City High School Best Buddies Club and volunteers two Fridays a month at the St. Anne’s Church Respite Program.

Expert addresses business and media ethics
At its luncheon meeting on September 12 at the Garden City Hotel, members and guests of the MineolaGarden City Rotary Club heard Dr. Arthur Dobrin discuss the difficulties and various problems relating to business and media ethics. Professor emeritus at Hofstra University. Dr. Dobrin, has taught courses in applied ethics in the School of Business and the School of Communications for 15 years. He told Rotarians that due to various pressures and financial concerns, media providers often lose sight of communication skills along with appropriate moral obligations. These are necessary to accurately inform those to whom they communicate so that they may have the proper information toward determining their own opinions and hence, are provided with the ability to make informed decisions. Dr. Dobrin is the author of 24 books and several novels. He is leader emeritus of the Ethical Humanist Society of Long Island. Sponsored by the Ethical Humanist Society, Dr. Dobrin made reference to the Community and Police Talk
website (communitiesandpolice.org) – a place where the public and police may dialogue sharing a variety of ideas. The site is designed to foster communications between civilians and police. Dr. Dobrin’s wife, Lyn Dobrin, our luncheon guest, has worked for many years with the Adelphi NY statewide Breast Cancer Hotline, where responders to calls for support are mostly breast cancer survivors who are ready to offer support and information. Their moto: “Help is just a phone call away!” (516-877-4320). The Club plans to welcome Lyn Dobrin to speak about this renowned breast cancer help program at a future luncheon meeting.

Lead found in school water fountains, more results due From page 1 came back and did a couple over three days or so. We only have reports from those first three school buildings and we expect to get the others within the next couple of days because that’s how they did it, that’s the sequence in which they completed testing,” he said. The test results come on the heels of groundbreaking state legislation regarding lead testing of water in schools. On Tuesday, September 6, Governor Andrew Cuomo signed legislation mandating all New York schools test drinking water for lead contamination. The state Department of Health then issued emergency regulations pursuant to the new legislation, requiring that school districts test their water for lead contamination by October 31, 2016 and report results to parents, the state Department of Health and local government officials. New York became the first U.S. state to mandate lead testing in all school districts by the end of 2016.
New law requires lead tests
A press release from the Governor’s office on September 6 detailed the impact of the new law: “Previously, schools in New York were not required to test their drinking water for lead, or notify parents or government officials of results. Testing was voluntary and administered by the federal Environmental Protection Agency. This method of voluntary testing without

enforceable standards has demonstrated the clear need for direction by the state to New York schools on when, what and how to sample drinking water for lead. This new legislation requires all school districts in New York State to test potable water for lead contamination, and to develop and implement a lead remediation plan where necessary.” “Pursuant to the accompanying regulations, samples collected must be 250 ml and taken from a cold water outlet where the water has been motionless in the pipes for a minimum of 8 hours but not more than 18 hours. By September 30, 2016, all school buildings serving children in pre-kindergarten through grade five must collect a sample from each identified sampling location for testing. Any schools serving children in grades six through twelve that are not also serving children in younger grades must complete collection of samples by October 31, 2016,” the Governor’s press release stated. According to an in-depth USA Today chronicle of lead found in hundreds of schools nationwide, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s “action level” was any testing result above 15 parts per billion. The new legislation set forth a protocol for districts: If lead levels are detected above 15 parts per billion at any potable water outlet, the school must discontinue use
of that outlet, implement a lead remediation plan to mitigate the lead level, and provide building occupants with an adequate alternate supply of water for cooking and drinking. Also schools must report the exceedance to local public health officials (the village and county) by the next business day, and lead testing results must be distributed to the faculty and parents in writing no more than 10 business days after the official lab report has been received by a district.
Official report coming soon
To date, as Dr. Feirsen explained on Tuesday night, Garden City Public Schools have only received follow-up emails and not any official report to determine the presence of lead among each of its school buildings. At Garden City Middle School to date, two main sites are confirmed to have had a lead presence in the water. “One is in the nurses’ office and there a few spots in the cafeteria as well as an outside spigot. The ‘heads-up’ email, with its preliminary indication, does which give us indication of which water source in the nurses’ office they are talking about. That will follow in the report but there are a few spots, a couple of sinks, a bathroom, etc. so we don’t know which one it is. The ones found with lead in the cafeteria are ones we did not ask them to test – they are not potable water sources and we don’t use them for preparation of food or beverages. They tested them anyway and that is fine, but nobody drinks from them, they are used for handwashing,” Dr. Feirsen said. Feirsen explained that the outside spigot at GCMS which was found to have lead is connected at times to a hose for the athletics department to use when children practice outside, and an apparatus that is set up for several players at a time to get water from. One of the main impacts right now for Garden City school children, particularly at the Middle School, according to Feirsen would be if a child went to the nurses’ office and felt dehydrated. He explained that where as in the past the child may have had water in a cup filled from taps at the nurses’ office at GCMS the taps aren’t an option now, and they can get either a bottle of water or water from one of the fountains at the school found to be safe from lead contamination. “We have told the nurses in the Middle School not to let anybody drink from anything but bottled water, and we will provide bottled water,” Feirsen said. Feirsen says the water fountain at Homestead was put in during construction of the school’s new wing and the district would not have imagined a new piece of equipment with piping into it would have had a difficulty, but the results stand.
“Shouldn’t take any chances”
The superintendent says Garden City was proactive to not simply wait for the formal lab report to be presented, as the regulations dictate the district would have a chance to wait a full business day after that happens to take steps to halt any operations involving lead-contaminated spots. But Dr. Feirsen says Garden City Schools had the mindset “knowing that there’s something, we shouldn’t take any chances.” The move was to immediately shut down the spots, one at Homestead and multiple at GCMS. The cafeteria water sources were included in the shut-down list even though the water there is not defined as potable and nobody drinks from those locations. At Tuesday night’s meeting School Board Trustee Robert Martin commented that at Locust School no problems were found, but he asked Dr. Feirsen how many sites were tested. The superintendent said all water fountain areas were tested and areas such as the faculty room sink and the sink in the nurses’ office which can be used for drinks of water. Martin also sought clarification and more information on “non-potable areas” that were tested at the school buildings. Dr. Feirsen and DiCapua said that again pertained to small sinks in the cafeteria for handwashing. Martin tried to interpret the initial comments on lead testing locations in GCUFSD as “numerous places, everywhere that drinking water could have come from, plus some other areas.” He asked Dr. Feirsen when he expected the final lab report in. Dr. Feirsen again mentioned the staging and that the district might expect follow-up emails throughout the week as information on each school was determined. The hope is that by the end of the week several emails were collected detailing each school and in the following week, the formal report coming back to the district. “It doesn’t matter to us in terms of the formal report. The first action we’re taking whether or not we have the formal report is to shut down anywhere kids might access contaminated water,” Dr. Feirsen says. Board Trustee William Holub asked if the initial email stated the specific numbers (quantity of particles found) for lead presence in the water. Dr. Feirsen replied that numbers were disclosed but he “would not trust that until it is in the formal report.” While the amounts were over 15 parts per billion, all contamination in GCUFSD was still found under 20 parts per billion. “We are dealing with microscopic amounts but I want our community of parents and kids and the school board assured that our kids are safe.

From page 1 and validity for the Board of Trustees to have a secretary on the executive staff as they meet twice a month and just once in July, August and September. Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi explained that DiFrancisco was taking an existing civil service position that was being filled after the “resignation and departure” of Brian Ridgway, the former Village Clerk who was just hired as the Village of Old Westbury’s new administrator. At the Library Board of Trustees’ meeting on Monday night September 12, Village Trustee John Delany noted the hiring of DiFrancisco. “Joseph has a great background and he brings what we are looking for – organization. He will also get involved in human resources as he’s worked in companies with union and non-union employees, so
we think it’s a step in the right direction. Ralph Suozzi really pushed for this as we all did so we can get more control and set up more processes and get better data on some of the things we are doing,” Delany explained. Immediately prior to Delany’s comments Library Board Vice Chair Gloria Weinrich sent her best wishes to Ridgway upon learning of his hire in Old Westbury, and she noted his brief time spent inside GCPL this spring, after Karen Altman replaced him as Village Clerk, when Ridgway was working on details of the library’s elevator project. Delany also confirmed that Altman is staying on as the separate Village Clerk role, not to be overlapping responsibilities with DiFrancisco. Referring to DiFrancisco’s hiring last Thursday, Suozzi told residents and the trustees that the move continues “the village’s succession planning in all our executive level positions, and having a designat-

ed number two person increases our efficiency as a municipal government.” Emails to Suozzi seeking further explanation on the executive staff designs were not returned as of press time on Wednesday, September 14. Meanwhile DiFrancisco’s predecessor Ridgway is a lifelong Garden City resident, a 38-year volunteer fireman, and he continues to live here with his wife. Prior to his career at Village Hall Ridgway worked in corporate management at IBM. When given the choice to relocate to its offices in New Jersey, he decided to stay local and make his career in village government, serving as village clerk and treasurer in Mineola. Ridgway later became president of the New York State Association of City and Village Clerks and the Long Island Village Clerks and Treasurers Association.
Lead found in school water fountains, more results due From page 42 threshold for remediation was 20 parts per billion. When Governor Cuomo signed that legislation, the legislation lowered that threshold to 15 parts per billion. For what we tested originally most of the sites in Garden City would have been okay. But it does not matter to us and we are happy they lowered the threshold,” he said. As far as next steps, Dr. Feirsen says the district must get the full report to “really know what we are dealing with in the full extent.” “Obviously we are waiting for the other school buildings to be reported as well. We need to know
what we are dealing with and consult with the environmental consultant and our engineers to figure out what to do. Most of the time the contamination is caused by a fixture and a valve, sometimes it can be the spigot and in a water fountain it can be the ‘bubbler’ water comes out of. We have to identify what that is and we will do what we need to do. We could end up replacing items, for example an easy thing to do would be replacing the water fountain at Homestead even though these were the newest water fountains we had. We could shut off the water supply to those locations, or we could engage in remediation – whether that involves replacing the spigot,
the bubbler, the water reservoir or the pipe. I don’t know what that is but I do know that water the kids are going to be able to access in any of our buildings is going to be safe,” Dr. Feirsen explains. The superintendent then said Garden City Schools doesn’t just want to comply with the law, the district is interested in a full, thorough remediation of whatever needs to be done and through the process it will engage in full reporting to the staff and the public. “We will not restore anything to service until it has been re-tested and certified that it is within the acceptable limits,” he said.
Village settles water pollution case, gets payout
From page 1 useful life. Our engineers tell us if we’d replace it now at a cost of several million dollars we would have to replace it in only another 10 to 15 years. It is not the position of the Board of Trustees to kick things down the road, so that is one item we’re taking a look at for investment, and we also have water items where we did a lot of repair work – so no decisions have been made exactly what to do with the money. But I want to make it very clear that this is not a bonanza and all of sudden we’re rolling in dough. We have specific places where we know this money is going to have to be spent,” said Mayor Episcopia. Deputy Mayor Richard Silver supported the mayor’s opening comments by saying the compensation (calculation of damages incurred by Garden City) and an amount of $10 million considers prior costs and future costs of remediation to Village Wells 13 and 14. “We have paid those costs in the past and we will have those costs going forward,” Silver said. The mayor then added that Garden City spends “a ton of money on keeping our water clean.” A few days later at the Library Board of Trustees’ meeting, Village Trustee John Delany offered similar caution to Mayor Episcopia’s words as he reminds residents that remediation has to keep going on. “The $10 million isn’t a windfall for the village as we’ve had remediation over the years that is being paid back and we have future remediation. In addition to that we have to replace the village water tower. We will move forward and probably start replacing that in the springtime. That might be a six or seven month project and in the interim we will be getting water from the Village of Mineola. We have done the same
for them over the years,” Delany explained.
Water tower discussed
On the September 8 meeting agenda there were a number of items related to the water tower replacement project as well as environmental remediation and other work to be done on Village Wells 13 and 14. The public works expenses for H2M water include a capital budget item of $15,600 to prepare the plans, specifications and construction management for the design of a new building to house the existing GAC treatments system at the Garden City Country Club for Wells 13 and 14. This includes adding an entry security system through cameras. For Well 14’s rehabilitation vendor A.C. Schultes of New Jersey received an additional $7,871 (a capital budget expense as Well 14 was put back in service on August 24). The vendor installed a funnel piece of column to correct the bent section and a camera and bailer will be installed. Consultants Cameron Engineering of Hauppauge reviewed that change order and approved the payment amount. The largest financial move approved by trustees on September 8 was increasing the water capital budget amount to double the approved $350,000. A new $719,600 amount adjusting the capital budget for water involves building to enclose GAC filters at Wells 13 and 14. The construction cost is $650,000 including a 10% percent contingency and an engineering cost of $69,600, and the project now encloses filters at the two wells at the Country Club. The original $350,000 estimate occurred prior to Hurricanes Irene and Sandy, in 2011 and 2012, respectively. The higher cost reflects a price increase for these structures based on code changes attributed to wind load, the inclusion of the engineering costs into the full cost of the project, and
the addition of an entry security system including cameras. The mayor’s announcement about the settlement came weeks after the August 21, 2016 meeting in which resident Bob Orosz publicly questioned the status of Genesco litigation and continued appearance on the list of village bills of invoices from Manhattan-based environmental law firm Sive, Paget & Riesel, P.C. At that meeting Trustee John DeMaro assured Orosz and residents that the settlement with Genesco would be announced on September 8, as it was. That factor includes one other change to Garden City’s biweekly Board of Trustees’ agendas. The only billing for this past July from the firm was $180, as stated on the September 8 agenda, due to work on the remedial cost recovery for groundwater containment at Village Wells 13 and 14, in conjunction with the Genesco litigation. That was a stark contrast to the billing from Sive, Paget & Riesel over the years and as recently as their invoice from March 3, 2016 Board of Trustees agenda, which was a total of $3,066. Another example would be a year ago with the September 10, 2015 Board agenda reflecting a $4,020 invoice from the firm approved by trustees.

After both teams lined up at mid field for the Pledge of Allegiance and a moment of silence game captains Ryan Campbell, Gavin Lawe and Patrick Van Blenis remained on the field for the ceremonial coin flip. The Thunder offence struck first behind a strong offensive line consisting of Tyler Macri, Brody Whalen, Grant Lemieux, Luke Webber, Gavin Lawe, Daniel Morizio and Charlie Cacciabaudo. With quarterback Patrick Van Blenis taking directions from coach Takvor. Running backs Ryan Campbell, Lucas Takvor, Daniel Medjid, Julien Galli and Luca Siragusa marched down the field in the second quarter with Ryan Campbell punching it in for a 6-0 lead. As good as the Thunder offense was looking early, the defense was reminiscent of the old Steel Curtain from Pittsburg Steeler Lore. The defensive line of Gavin Lawe, Parker Roberts, Dean Colletti, Jimmy Raia, Dj

McDonough and Ciaran Sack were in the Long Beach backfield more than Long Beach’s quarterback was. When a play happen to pass the line, line backers Daniel Medjid, Ryan Campbell, Luca Siragusa, Daniel Morisio and Brody Whalen cleaned up the runners. When they tried to stretch the field to the sidelines, cornerbacks Julien Galli, Lucas Takvor, Patrick Van Blenis and safety Charlie Cacciabaudo racked up tackle after tackle. Unfortunately, Long Beach ran a counter late in the 2nd quarter that was able to break up the shut out. Both teams played their hearts out in the 2nd half on this day of remembrance. The Thunder offense drove late in the final minute but the drive stalled inside the 10 yard line. On the final play of the game the Long Beach running back was tackled at the half yard line just avoiding a safety as the clock ran out. The coaching staff of head coach Ed Takvors team were proud of the effort the boys put in and they will spend a week working out a few kinks as they get ready for there next game this Sunday vs Franklin Square

GC’S Team 19 Laxers compete, reunite at national championship
Garden City’s U15 National Finalists (L-R): Emily Gaven (G), Liana McDonnell (M), Jen Kubler (M), Caitlin Cook (M), Missy Biscardi (D), Ella Heaney (A), Cubby Biscardi (D) and Kara Metzler (D). Although it’s been over a year since Garden City’s Team 19 played their last game together capturing their second consecutive undefeated LISGYLL title, many of the players are still laxin’ in up with their club teams and this year got the opportunity to compete in the
eighth annual National Championships sponsored by US Lacrosse, a three day event which this year was held in Indianapolis, IN. With twelve girls from Team 19 having been selected to play at the nationals by their respective clubs, it seemed only fitting that the GC
contingent get together for a reunion including recent GC transplants, and avid GC lax fans, John and Susan Weiss, to celebrate their love of the game, each other and their GC pride! After two days of play Garden City was well represented going into the playoffs, with 9 players vying, unfortunately, against each other for a chance to win the National title with their club teams. The semifinals featured games between the YJ Blue team and Top Guns Black and the LI Liberty against Maryland’s Integrity. Eight Garden City 2019 players were left battling it out for the national title, 4 for the YJs (Emily Gaven, Cubby Biscardi, Missy Biscardi and Jen Kubler) and 4 for the Liberty (Caitlin Cook, Ella Heaney, Liana McDonnell and Kara Metzler), seeded 1 and 2 respectively. Although the YJs prevailed by a margin of three goals (7-4) to take the gold medal, the all long island final was a battle to the end, and Garden City’s on field presence dominating the play with each of the GC girls contributing to the action making it super exciting! Cubby Biscardi and Liana McDonnell, were also honored to

Play Ball! Ribbon cutting kicks off Community Park fields re-opening
Following a complete renovation, Community Park Fields 3 and 4 re-opened for play on Friday, September 9, 2016 with a full schedule of games on both fields. A ribbon cutting ceremony marked the occasion on Thursday, celebrating the completion of the first major project identified in the Department of Recreation and Parks Strategic Plan. Kevin Ocker, chairman of the Board of Commissioners of Cultural and Recreational Affairs, welcomed Mayor Nicholas Episcopia and members of the Board of Trustees to the ceremony, as well as Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi, Recreation Commission members, players from the Garden City Rebels and Garden City Athletic Association president Al Vanasco. “It will be an outstanding improvement and enjoyed by all that use those fields,” Mr. Ocker said. “It’s special for the kids. It’s about as good as it can be for any community,” Mr. Vanasco added. Community Park’s athletic fields sit atop of a former landfill. Over the years, subsurface
decomposition and settling caused irregularity in playing surfaces, particularly Fields 3 and 4, that often resulted in unacceptable playing conditions. To address these issues, Field 3, used for softball and baseball, and Field 4, a lighted 90-foot baseball field, underwent a complete overhaul. Fields 3 and 4 are primarily used for GCAA intramural baseball, travel baseball, the Men’s softball league and Men’s adult Baseball. Approximately six to eight GCAA travel teams use Field #3 while 20 to 30 GCAA intramural teams use both fields, along with two dozen softball teams within the Recreation Department’s leagues and 10-12 independent teams. Renovations, which were completed on time and within budget, included new irrigation, synthetic turf infields and new under drain systems. Safety fencing, backstops and dugouts were also replaced. To read more about Phase I of the Department of Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan, visit www.gardencityny.net.

Winning Thunder 8’s “Out of the Gate”
NCYFL teams wore 9/11 commemorative helmet stickers for their season opener. Thunder 8s pose in front of the banner donated by their NYPD coach. Garden City – 28 vs. Levittown – 13 Fresh from summer, the Thunder 8s burst through their first home game banner held by the enthusiastic Garden City Spirit Cheerleaders. Team captains, Thomas Gamba, Alex Giuffre, Ryan Haniffy and Garvis Toler met the Levittown Pride for the 2016 season inaugural coin toss. The defense, including Timothy Levelis and Conor Fortney, took the field and were determined to send an immediate message. Troy Kakoyiannis delivered with a tough open field tackle. Levittown responded with a first down but any further gains were stopped by rookie safety Merit Ruckh. James Logler put an exclamation point on this defensive stand with a sack and forced fumble, which was recovered by Owen Andersen. Center, Kieran Walsh, and quarterback , Ryan Haniffy, optimistically led the offense onto the field. Running
backs, Will Mattice, James Sullivan, and Chase Kraus took turns running the ball down the field with excellent blocks by guards Alex Giuffre and James Delligatti. Conor Fortney and Garvis Toler sewed up the right side to allow Owen Andersen to score the first touchdown on a long run. James Sullivan began his busy day by punching through the Pride for the extra point. Garden City – 7, Levittown – 0. A confident Thunder defense made their way back to the field and big stops were made at the line of scrimmage by Angelo Cupani and Matt Uhoda. Safety, William Lentini, and linebacker, Will Mattice chased down a charging Pride setting up 3rd and 2. While the defense was holding the line, a Levittown player slipped around the outside and scored a touchdown. Garden City – 7, Levittown – 7. Thunder’s offensive line was intent on responding to the Pride’s touch-
down, but a key off sides penalty put them at 2nd and 30. James Sullivan made up 15 yards running behind Mike Griffin and James Logler to set up a long 3rd and 15. Thomas Gamba and Justin Baiker paved the way for Chase Kraus as he straight armed a tackle and ran into the end zone for an amazing 40-yard touchdown. James Sullivan ran up the middle for the extra point. Garden City -14, Levittown – 7. The brick wall defense of Gabe Cohen, Timothy Levelis and Greg Buccella didn’t allow the Pride a first down on the next drive. Chris Dell and Patrick Polley took their turns at cornerback and secured the perimeter. Levittown’s failed drive was capped off by a quarterback sack by Kieran Walsh and the Thunder defense made sure the score remained the same going into halftime. The second half began and Garden City was intent on increasing their lead. Rookie offensive linemen Patrick Corrigan and Kevin Brennan were ready to make their mark on the game and open holes. It did not take long as James Sullivan shook off three solid hits along the right side, passed key blocks by Chris Dell and Timothy Levelis. Sullivan was determined not to let the baseball field become a 12th Levittown player as he powered his way into the end zone. Will Mattice ran a hard three yards to secure the very valuable extra point behind the strong blocking of Angelo Cupani and Gabe Cohen. Garden City - 21, Levittown – 7. A very intense defense ultimately drove the Pride to 4th and 20 with a stronghold by Conor Fortney, Garvis Toler, and Mark Gemmell. At one point, it looked like a brick wall fell down -- there were so many maroon jerseys. Quarterback, William Lentini, took over and handed off to Greg Buccella
with solid blocks by Owen Andersen and Alex Giuffre. Troy Kakoyiannis followed the blocks by Angelo Cupani and Kieran Walsh. When Lentini found himself in a 4th and 3 situation, he took a QB sweep along the right side and fought so hard for the first down he lost one of his cleats. It would prove to be a key play in securing the victory because it allowed Merit Ruckh to take a handoff up the middle, break a few tackles and allow his speed to get him into the end zone for a touchdown. Once again, Will Mattice earned the extra point. Garden City – 28, Levittown – 7. To their credit, Levittown would not quit. They were able to find the outside and scamper into the end zone to tighten the score. Justin Baiker and Kevin Brennan were able to deny them the extra point. Garden City – 28, Levittown – 13. James Delligatti and Alex Giuffre were ready to wear down the Pride defensive line while running backs Matt Uhoda, Patrick Polley and Chris Dell handled the football. Strong runs by Patrick Polley and William Lentini at QB were made possible by the blocking of Mike Griffin and Patrick Corrigan. The Thunder offense was stopped on 4th down but the drive was a success as it took valuable time off the clock. Mark Gemmell kept the Prides behind the line of scrimmage on their final drive. Gabe Cohen, Matt Uhoda, and Kevin Brennan took their turns at stopping Levittown and securing the victory for Garden City. Final score: Garden City – 28, Levittown – 13. The Thunder 8’s season began on 9/11. The fifteenth anniversary reinforced the resilient spirit of New Yorkers. The spirit of this Thunder team is cohesive and the season promises to build in intensity. This team is Thunder Tough!

Biking Albania: National Park of Butrint Provides Pathway into 5 Archaeological Epoques BY KAREN RUBIN
(I travel to Albania with BikeTours. com’s President Jim Johnson on a specially constructed “President’s Tour” itinerary that modifies the regular “Albania’s UNESCO Sites with Rivers, Valleys, and Gorges” biking trip. See columns 8/12, 8/19, 8/26, 9/2, 9/16) On this, the seventh day of our cycling through Albania (eighth day of our trip), we have our longest distance ride, at 70 km, but it is mostly downhill: just 725 meter gain in elevation and a total of 1285 meters drop, and mostly along the coast, giving us our first spectacular views of the Ionian Sea, with the Greek island of Corfu in the distance. But today’s attraction is an absolute highlight among the many fascinating places we have already visited in Albania: the National Park of Butrint is a 2000-year old Hellenic-Roman-Byzantine city, reclaimed from forest overgrowth and an earthen tomb by Italian archaeologists beginning in 1924. Indeed, Butrint is the most visited cultural tourist destination in Albania, and for good reason. The setting is exquisite, the ruins most impressive, and for me, the connection to Asclepius (the Greek God of Healing or more accurately the father of Medicine), and to Anthony and Cleopatra (defeated in the battle Actium nearby by Augustus who is immortalized with busts created during his lifetime which can be seen in the museum), makes this
View of the theater dedicated to Asclepius, god of healing, from the Hellenic period of the ancient city of Butrint © 2016 Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com place all the more profound. But to get there, we have a fantastic ride. After the past few days riding in the mountains (affording magnificent views), we reach the seacoast. Albania’s coastline extends over two seas: from the Adriatic Sea in the north to the Ionian Sea in the south, where we are. We start with a 45-minute transfer
in the van to Muzina Pass in the mountains that brings us to the seacoast. We start descending just before the turnoff to Saranda which is our ultimate destination today (we will double back to Saranda, a beach resort city, by the end of the day where we will overnight) and continue south toward the southernmost tip of Albania, near the Greek border.

Biking Albania: National Park of Butrint Provides Pathway into 5 Archaeological Epoques
Continued from page D1 site, though, we enjoy a terrific lunch just next door at the Livia Restaurant (named for Emperor Augustus’ wife, as I learn later in the museum at Butrint) – mussels, calamari, sea bass, dining outside under a canopy, across the road from the water. After lunch, we stroll into the National Park. Butrint’s history dates back to Greek times (in fact, this whole area was part of Greece), and was an important coastal city. Roman writer Virgil said the legendary founder of the city was the seer Helenus, a son of the King Priam of Troy who moved West after the fall of Troy. Greek Historian Dionysius of Halicarnasseus, as well as Virgil, in his epic poem “Aeneid”, wrote that Aeneas visited Bouthroton after he escaped the destruction of Troy. What is so fascinating is that there were five civilizations that occupied this town, and you can peel away the centuries and eras, one by one. The city was hidden underground until 1924 when Italian archeologists began to excavate. Most of what we see is thanks to the Italian Archaeological Mission, headed by Luigi Maria Ugolini, who worked for a decade in Butrint (1928-1939). What has been uncovered shows the mark of Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, Venetian and Ottoman cultures and civilization, and the artifacts are presented in an astonishing museum. According to notes, Butrint (also called Buthrotum or Bouthroton) was originally within the region of Epirus, and one of the main centers of the Greek tribe of Chaonians who had close contacts to the Corinthian colony of
Unearthed ruins of the ancient city of Butrint © 2016 Karen Rubin/ goingplacesfarandnear.com Corcyra (Corfu), nearby. The earliest archaeological evidence of settled occupation dates between 10th and 8th centuries BC. The occupied original settlement likely sold food to Corfu and had a fort and sanctuary. It occupied a strategic position due to its access to the Straits of Corfu. The geographer Hecataeus of Miletus described Buthrotum as an important port and trading center on the main Adriatic waterway. Around 380 BC the ancient settlement was surrounded with defensive walls, fortified with a new 870 meters long wall, with five gates, enclosing an area of four hectares. By the 4th century BC it had grown in importance as a cult center, and included a sanctuary to Asclepius, the
Greek god of healing, on the southern slope of the Acropolis hill, an agora and a theater – there is even an inscription from the 4th century BC on one of the seas of the theater that credits donations of religionists that supported construction.
who lobbied against the plan in the Roman Senate. As a result, Buthrotum received only a small number of colonists. In 31 B C, Emperor Augustus, fresh from his victory over Mark Antony and Cleopatra at the battle of Actium mere meters away from here, renewed the plan to turn Buthrotum into a veterans’ colony. Under Emperor Augustus, the city, now known as Colonia Augusta Buthrotum, experienced its greatest development, doubling the size of the town – temples, fountains, baths (thermae), villas (private residences), a forum complex, and nyphaeum ( a monument consecrated to the nymphs, especially those of springs, typically natural grottoes, which were believed to be where local nymphs lived), a new water supply and a bridge linking the two banks of the Vivari canal. (We see these ruins clearly, and even the nyphaeum the mere thought of which had piqued our curiosity.) In the 3rd century AD, an earthquake destroyed a large part of the town. By the 6thcentury, it became the seat of a bishop and new construction included a large baptistery, one of the largest Paleochristian buildings of its type,

In 228 BC, Buthrotum (Bouthroton) became a Roman protectorate and later, in the 1st century BC, a part of the Roman province of Macedonia. In 44 BC, Caesar designated Buthrotum as a colony to reward soldiers who had fought with him against Pompey, naming in Colonia Julia Buthrotum. In what sounds like it could be ripped from the headlines of today, the local landholder Titus Pomponius Atticus objected to his correspondent Cicero
and a basilica. We see a portion of the gorgeous mosaic floor of the baptistery, laid out in eight rings with columns, which, we are told, is a rare treat and a bit of luck because the mosaic usually cannot be seen, kept under protective sand. But because they were in the process of changing out the sand, we get to see half of the floor exposed. So far, eight other churches have been uncovered, the most important of which is in Vrina Plain on the other side
those days, the earliest form of medicine involved spiritual healing. I am particularly fascinated with Asclepius, who I first encountered on the island of Epidaurus in Greece on a previous Biketours.com tour. Asclepius is regarded as the God of Healing, by virtue of being the son of Apollo and the human princess Coronis, but who incited the wrath of Zeus (who would have been Asclepius’ grandfather). Zeus struck Asclepius dead with a thunderbolt because Asclepius had the audacity of cheating death – Asclepius used his powers of healing to restore people to life, usurping Zeus’ power. To me, though, Asclepius is the first doctor, the first to use the scientific method – testing what worked and what did not; he kept notes and refined his technique. (The medical symbol still used today is the staff of Asclepius.) But in this period of time, “medicine” or “healing” was all wrapped up with spiritualism (faith). So, just as at Epidaurus, Butrint has a great amphitheater because Greeks believed in the connection between spiritual, emotional and mental health (theater, as well as athletics, were part of religious experience). The sick usually had to spend one or more nights in Asclepius’ sanctuary so that remedy for their ailment could be revealed in their dreams. Priests and physicians would perform rituals to

of the Vivari canal. Butrint followed the historical pattern seen in other Balkan cities, with the 6th to 7th centuries being a period of transformation of the Roman world into the Early Middle Ages. By the beginning of the 9th century, Butrint had become a small fishing settlement. Around 1807, in the outfall of the Vivari canal, Ali Pasha built a fortress to guard against French attacks coming from Corfu. After his death, Butrint fell under Ottoman Rule, until the Declaration of Independence in 1912. What is so impressive about Butrint is that it is at once a place of these extraordinary historical monuments that clearly depict these époques of civilization, but also the natural setting and landscape and the scale. Pathway Through Time Our visit begins at a Venetian tower built in the 15th and 16th century and a chapel of the 4th century BC dedicated to the god of Asclepius. Junid, our Biketours.com guide on this two-week cycling trip through Albania, leads us on a path through the woods to the 300-seat theater , a place where plays were performed and for public discussion (they still hold festivals here). Buthrotum was as much a healing place (or in modern terms, a spa retreat) as a religious center, dedicated to Asclepius, god of heating because in

Visiting the Basketball Hall of Fame
I always wanted to go to the basketball Hall of Fame (HOF) in Springfield, MA. Well, it all came to be this winter on Wednesday (February 23) when we (along with another couple) drove up to Springfield on Tuesday in weather that could best be described as a snowy-wintry mix. The 135 mile trip took 3 hours. What follows are my edited transcribed notes on the trip plus a few photos. 1. All basketball fans should visit the HOF. 2. All non-basketball fans should visit the HOF at least once. 3. If you plan to stay/sleep over, as opposed to a day trip, I suggest staying at the Hilton, which is immediately adjacent to the HOF. Also, consider the package deal that includes admission and breakfast for 2. It’s a beautiful hotel and worth the price. 4. The HOF is 3-stories high. The third floor contains photographs and writings of all the members of the HOF. I was shocked at some who are members and some of whom are not members. 5. One floor down is where you want to spend most of your time. Here, you will find lots of goodies: early history, old-timers, stars of yesteryear, today’s
heroes, the media, coaches, administrators, referees, the various conferences, etc. There were guides there to keep the conservation flowing. One guide - who never played basketball - had to be nearly 100 years old but lived in the area, was a riot. 6. A basketball court is located on the bottom/first floor. Your author’s 2-handed fowl shot of yesteryear went 10 for 25 despite shooting around 80% during earlier days. My low times have changed. Incidentally, your author was nicknamed “The Judge” during those earlier years because he spent so much time on the bench. 7. The first floor also housed a very spacious and comfortable theatre. My companions requested the movie on MJ although I would have preferred the one on Wilt. Overall, it was a unique experience and would give it a grade of B. Why not an A, you ask? A few things caught me wrong. On reaching the third floor, I came face-to-face with the likes of Rick Pitino, Jim Calhoun, John Calipari, John Thompson, Mike Kriyzewski, Jim Boeheim, Dean Smith, etc. – individuals who have, in some form or another, disgraced the game of basketball. Here are a few other sticklers. 1. There was a very small section in a
corner devoted to the NIT. Isn’t the NIT a major and integral part of the game’s history? How could this be? And not a mention of Jack Powers, who served as the Executive Director for 21 years. (Note: I have formerly nominated Jack for the HOF for the 2017 year.) I hear admission is very political; but Matt Zeysong (4132315523), the Hall’s curator and historian, has assured me that it is not. Is Jack a worthy candidate? You be the judge. He was a 4-year starter and star at Manhattan College, a 2nd team All-American, a coach at Manhattan College, and Athletic Director at Manhattan. But if he is to be inducted, it will be as an Administrator because of his involvement with the NIT. At the time of visiting the Hall, the NIT had been around for 74 years. There have been countless games, innumerable players and coaches, and (of course) millions of fans. It has endured wars, scandals, and NCAA expansion to continue showcasing some of the finest teams, coaches, and players that college basketball has to offer. It has, however, fallen on hard times as of late. Today’s NIT is a men’s college basketball tournament that is now owned and operated by the NCAA. The idea of crowning a national
champion began to surface among the New York City sportswriters, initiated by the late Irving Marsh of the Herald Tribune and the late Everett Morris of the Times. In 1938, the idea became a reality when 6 teams were brought into the old Garden at 49th Street and 8th Avenue to find out who was the best in the land and subsequently being crowned NIT champion. Enter the NCAA the next year. “Many thought that when the NCAA Tournament later expanded its field to 64 teams, the NIT would just go away. But that did not happen. The NIT presently provides a much needed opportunity to programs that are on the upswing, to clubs that were disappointed by the NCAA selection committee, and to teams that had successful regular seasons but were upset in conference tournament play,” explained Powers, who—as mentioned earlier--ran the NIT for 21 years. No discussion of the NIT would be complete without a discussion of the NIT’s battle for survival between the original NIT and the NCAA. In 2005, the NCAA ultimately purchased 10-year rights to the NIT from the MIBA for $56.5 million in order to settle an antitrust lawsuit spearheaded by See page D7

Social Security Facts and Figures BY TOM MARGENAU
If you are doing any kind of research into Social Security issues, the Social Security Administration’s office of Research, Statistics, and Policy Analysis produces a plethora of publications covering almost every conceivable Social Security-related topic. Admittedly, some of them are only for serious scholars or historians. Here are a couple of sample titles: “Social Security and the Emigration of Immigrants” or “Income of Urban Families and Individuals in Single Family Households.” And here is a real page-turner: “Old Age Insurance for Agricultural Workers in Western Europe.” But they also produce some more mainstream publications that I, and many other researchers, use all the time. One little booklet that I find very helpful and informative is called “Fast Facts and Figures About Social Security.” It is filled with little snippets of fascinating information. (I will admit that the fact that I find Social Security data so interesting is an indication that I lead a very boring life!) Anyway, with apologies to my readers, I will share some of the booklet’s interesting numbers, starting with the first page: --65.1 million people receive benefits from programs administered by SSA. --5.4 million people were newly awarded benefits in 2015. --61 percent of aged Americans get at least half their income from Social Security. --55 percent of adult Social Security beneficiaries are women. --53.9 was the average age of disabled beneficiaries in 2015. On another page, I discovered this. There were 59,963,000 people getting Social Security benefits in 2015. (The 65.1 million people cited above includes folks who get Supplemental Security Income payments. SSI is a federal welfare program, funded out of general tax revenues, which is administered by SSA.) Here is a breakdown of Social Security benefit categories: --40,089,000 retired workers -- 67 percent. --2,984,000 spouses and children of retirees -- 5 percent. --8,909,000 disabled workers -- 15 percent. --1,897,000 spouses and children of disabled workers -- 3 percent. --6,084,000 survivors or deceased workers -- 10 percent. Yet another page provides information about the aggregate income sources of elderly Americans, comparing data from 1962 and 2014. Here is an excerpt of the data. (For each income source, the percentage indicated tells you to what degree that income makes up the budget of all American retirees.) --Social Security -- 31 percent in 1962 and 33 percent in 2014.
--Earnings -- 29 percent in 1962 and 32 percent in 2014. --Asset income -- 16 percent in 1962 and 10 percent in 2014. --Government pensions -- 6 percent in 1962 and 8 percent in 2014. --Private pensions: 3 percent in 1962 and 13 percent in 2014. --Other income: 15 percent in 1962 and 4 percent in 2014. There is another table in the booklet that I always find a little disturbing. It shows how much people rely on Social Security for their livelihood. --For 61 percent of seniors, Social Security represents at least half their total income. --And for 33 percent of seniors, Social Security represents 90 percent or more of their income. In other words, there are millions of senior citizens in this country who are essentially living on their Social Security check. It was never supposed to be that way. From the very beginning of the program, people were told that Social Security should be only one part of their retirement nest egg. But the statistics show that a lot of people didn’t get that message. Or, for a variety of possible reasons, circumstances just led them to rely too heavily on their Social Security checks to get by in retirement. Another page in the booklet is labeled “Women beneficiaries.” It charts how women’s status as workers and retirees has grown over the years. For example, in 1940, only 12 percent of all Social Security recipients getting their own retirement checks were women. By 2015, half of all Social Security retirement beneficiaries were women. Another section of the booklet charts the number of new claims for benefits processed by SSA each year -- in this case, going back to 1975. In that year, 1.5 million people signed up for retirement benefits for the first time. In 2015, that number had jumped to almost 3 million -- an indication that baby boomers are indeed rapidly turning into senior boomers. And as those boomers get older, their bodies are breaking down --as evidenced by new claims for disability benefits. There were 592,000 such claims in 1975 and 741,000 disability claims last year. Although surprisingly, that is down from a peak of just over 1 million disability claims in 2011. So those are just a few of the many fascinating facts contained in “Fast Facts and Figures About Social Security.” You can find it and hundreds of other publications at socialsecurity. gov.

Junid notes the odd position and how the boulder stands out from the rest – an indication that the stone may have been taken from a temple (but that doesn’t answer why it was positioned too low for a door frame). Remarkably, only half of Butrint has been excavated so far. “They want to leave something for next generation of archeologists,” Junid tells us. Finally we come to the Butrint Museum, situated in the Acropolis castle (and what a setting this affords, with a view out to the water). The museum was established in the 1950s to house the finds from Italian archeologists who first excavated 192840. In 1988, the museum was enlarged, and in 2005, it was completely renovated, updated and reopened under the aegis of the Albania Institute of Archeology, Butrint Foundation, AG Coventis Foundation, Packard Humanities Institute and Butrint National Park. The museum is absolutely astonishing - it presents a chronological overview of
