HEADING TO THE PLAYOFFS

Garden City High School’s Varsity Soccer team clinched a playoff spot when it beat Roslyn in an resounding 4-0 shutout. See page 62 for full coverage.

Library advocates for new crosswalk on 7th BY RIKKI N. MASSAND In line with addressing mobility and pedestrian-friendly initiatives across Garden City, steps have been taken by the Garden City Public Library’s Board of Trustees to urge the Traffic Commission to place a crosswalk directly in front of the walkway to the library across Seventh Street, midway between the village hub’s intersection with Hilton Avenue and the entranceway of the Garden City Hotel. A main reason behind the push for a crosswalk there

is pedestrian safety and better enabling families with young children and the senior population in the village to reach the front entrance to the library, given the business traffic on Seventh Street in either direction. At its Monday, October 17 meeting, the library board heard Director Lisa Paulo stated a tally for a community survey taken in-person at the Garden City Public Library. As of that date it indicated 160 people in favor of the crosswalk, one “no” vote and one “undecided.” All of the first 162 respondents (library patrons)

It was announced at the Garden City Public Library’s Board of Trustees meeting on Monday, night October 17, that in exactly two weeks the elevator is slated to be functional again. Full confidence in the village’s contractors to complete the repair job was expressed on behalf of Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi. Electrical upgrades to the elevator were scheduled for final touches over the two weeks, followed by ThyssenKrupp Elevator coming in for any necessary adjustments. Library Director Lisa Paulo told the GCPL Board of Trustees this week that she knows Suozzi is confident, and she has impressed upon him the library and the community “needs this” as the there is a Friends of GCPL book sale on Saturday, November 5. She says in case the elevator is ready for use by Halloween it can and will be operated. Officially, Tuesday, November 1 the elevator is planned to open and perhaps a ribbon-cutting will follow that date, but for the GCPL that would apparently mean one of the building’s needs is finally addressed and more ‘fixes’ will follow for 2017. Village Trustee John Delany referred to a presentation Library Board Trustee Charles Murphy recently made to his EPOA audience, describing a spacing plan and concept to re-organize the library. At the Library Board’s July 11 meeting consultant Elisabeth Martin of MDA design group, based on See page 55

Randolph Colahan suggested the survey continue until October 28 and then have an official recommendation sent from the GCPL Board and administration to the Traffic Commission. Normally any traffic-related requests to the Commission must go through a POA review. But the Library is not affiliated with the four

The Garden City Union Free School District has performed its annual audit and reported accordingly within the New York State deadline for October. A snapshot of district finances paints an overall positive picture with careful measures needed to be taken ahead. School Board President Angela Heineman said the information and financial data will be posted on the district website by about October 21. “The board is really committed to the financial health and stability of this school district. We know and it is apparent in the audit report – we face uncertainty of the tax cap in the foreseeable future whether it will be 0.1 percent or less. There is uncertainty of pension costs that will not go lower, and the same thing with healthcare. We do a lot of financial planning so we also know the needs to address our facilities and the state

Forget 3rd track

To the Editor: It’s disgraceful that the Governor and proponents of the third track from Floral Park to Hicksville are using the recent train derailment east of the New Hyde Park Station to promote their unnecessary and wasteful project. They should be spending their time, energy and our money on improving the existing tracks and upgrading safety equipment. Had the accident occurred just 950 feet further east towards Garden City the cars might have hit petroleum tanker cars that sit permanently on a siding possibly causing a disaster. Another track would just increase the number of passenger and freight trains speeding even closer to homes, playgrounds and businesses. For safety reasons lets eliminate the grade crossings and forget the unneeded third track Ann & Bill Corbett Citizens Against Rail Expansion

To the Editor: Regarding the article in this weeks Garden City News about the interest in building a hotel at the edge of Ring Road in Roosevelt field : “Zoning Change could clear path for Marriott Residence Inn.”( October 14, page 6) I have so many problems with this. They are talking about a 163 unit hotel. That is huge, would have to be many stories tall, and doubtless would be looming over the Mott section . In addition the article mentions the possibility of an exit from the hotel onto Clinton Road. The last thing the Mott section needs is thousands of cars flying across our streets in an effort to escape Clinton or Old Country Road. Its very dangerous for the pedestrians, joggers or bikers here already. Living here, I can tell you that Clinton Road is extremely busy most of the day but especially at rush hours. During Christmas season our section is almost impassable , with streets in the Mott section blocked all day long

from shoppers heading to and from Roosevelt Field. This is a major safety issue for residents in our section, God forbid we ever need the fire department or an ambulance. Its dangerous for us now and a business of this size dumping cars onto Clinton Road ( or Stewart) will make it much worse. At Christmas time we are blocked along Old Country Road as well. Let us also recall we have a grammar school at Clinton Road and Stewart which is already very dangerous for our walking students and the school buses to negotiate due to the current volume of traffic. The last thing this area needs is more traffic. I wonder where cars for this hotel will be expected to park as by my observation the mall and its new configuration with additional stores like Neiman Marcus makes parking close to impossible, with Christmas again being a nightmare time. Do they plan to build a multi tiered lot right at the edge of Ring Road too? Who wants to look at either a looming hotel or a parking garage? How would this impact the value of homes in our area? Negatively, one can be certain. I am both amazed and appalled that Garden City would even consider allowing the imposition of such a business on the residents of the Mott section. Its completely inappropriate for our area, and the nature of this business might indeed bring in a transient population which could bring increased crime with them. While other shoppers and the Hotel residents would come and go, we in the Mott section would be left to live with the ongoing traffic and safety nightmare. In the article, the question had been raised about how a residential hotel would impact Garden City schools if families were placed there for months at a time as has happened elsewhere. Are school age students staying at this “Residence Inn” going to be our towns educational responsibility perhaps for months on end? ? If so, who will pay for the additional costs required to do this?

Today’s culture of consumerism, peer pressure, pop culture, hyper-communication, and achievement orientation can cause children to lose sight of what truly makes us good people and truly happy. Children can be overwhelmed by it all. How to help them sort out the ethical challenges and do the right thing— and develop a moral code that guides them through life--is a challenge parents face. Clinical psychologist and humanist Alison Pratt has designed this workshop --”Raising Moral and Ethical Children”--to review the psychological research that leads to moral and resilient children. Parents will have an opportunity to discuss challenges and concerns that they face. The free workshop takes place on Sunday, November 6 at 11:00 am, at the Ethical Humanist Society of Long Island, 38 Old Country Road, Garden City (at the western end of Old Country Road next to the watertower). The workshop is designed for parents of children aged 5 to 13. Children ages 5 to 13 are welcome to attend a children’s program during the workshop. Please call 516-741-7304 to register.

Downballot Races BY BOB MORGAN, JR.

I will give analyzing the presidential race a bit of a rest in this column. This is partly because anything I write will no doubt be superseded by the third and final presidential debate this week. But is also because this has been a long, ugly and divisive campaign and I can’t say that writing about the two candidates is particularly enjoyable. I know many people of all political stripes who cannot wait for November 9, the day after the election. Nevertheless, it is still the political season, and the upcoming election will include a variety of other downballot races, so here is a review of some of the election contests below the presidential line. At the head of the downballot races are the elections for members of Congress. Republicans have a substantial majority on the House of Representatives and it would take around a 30 seat pickup for Democrats to win a majority. Democrats talk of a wave election that would lead to party control of the House and make Nancy Pelosi speaker again, but this doesn’t seem like a good bet. There are simply not enough targeted Republican incumbents with strong Democratic challengers for a change in party control to be likely. The best guess, absent a sea change in the presidential race, is a 10-15 seat Democratic pickup. The real action is in the races for the United States senate. Right now Republicans have a 54-46 majority. Since the Vice President casts the decisive vote in the event of a tie, Democrats need to gain 4 seats that Hillary Clinton is elected, and 5 seats if Donald Trump wins. Democrats have a big advantage in that they are only defending 10 senate seats, while Republicans are defending 24 seats, the product of the many GOP senators elected in the 2010 sweep who are now seeking another term. Republicans are actually holding up pretty well in the Senate race. Only one GOP senator, Mark Kirk in deep blue Illinois, is trailing badly in the race; Ron Johnson in Wisconsin is a clear underdog, but

remains pretty competitive with his Democratic opponent, former senator Russ Feingold. Everywhere else, Republicans defending seats are either ahead (Rob Portman in Ohio, John McCain in Arizona and Marco Rubio in Florida), or in very competitive races (Kelly Ayotte in New Hampshire, Pat Toomey in Pennsylvania, Richard Burr in North Carolina). One wildcard and very close race is in Indiana for an open GOP seat. Although Indiana is generally a Republican state, Democrats are fielding former senator Evan Bayh, a member of a family prominent in state politics for decades, against Todd Young, a Congressman. The one opportunity for a Republican pickup is in Nevada, where Harry Reid is retiring, another tight race. While Chuck Schumer, a heavy favorite in his race against Wendy Long, is the only New York statewide official up for election, the voting in the Empire State will feature a good number of competitive races. Vacancies in two Congressional seats, one on Long Island, where Democratic Representative Steve Israel is stepping down and upstate south of Albany, where Republican Chris Gibson is retiring, are producing potentially close races. In the Long Island race, state Senator Jack Martins is facing former county executive Tom Suozzi. Upstate, former GOP gubernatorial candidate John Faso is against Zephyr Teachout, the leftwing law professor who did unexpectedly well as a primary challenger to Governor Cuomo. The big question there is whether Ms. Teachout’s ideology fits the district. And of course, there is the perennial fight over control of the New York state senate, the last bastion of Republican power in the state. Republicans currently control the chamber by one vote (at least not counting a band of independent Democrats) and another squeaker election is likely, perhaps only decided after recounts. In any event, there will be much of interest on November 8, even for those not wildly enthusiastic about the presidential rivals.

Of the 50 residential, commercial, religious and civic Garden City structures that comprise the A.T. Stewart Era Buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, 41 of those structures were residential, dovetailing with Alexander Stewart’s vision for a planned community to be inhabited by workers from his Manhattan retail empire. A few of the National Register homes were owned by the Cathedral of the Incarnation and were located on Episcopal Diocese of Long Island property. Tragically, 38 years after the Garden City sites were listed on the National Register, only 37 residential structures remain. The A.T. Stewart thematic group is the only grouping of mass size on Long Island. Removing any of the properties from this group affects the historic fabric and legacy of the village of Garden City, as the properties are within close proximity to each other. Just stroll along Fifth, Sixth or Ninth Streets or Hilton Avenue, for example, and you’ll be wonderfully taken back in time to the beginnings of Garden City in the late 1800s. Again, removing any one of these structures causes a harmful effect to the existing architectural and historical fabric of the neighborhood. 17404901H641.A.indd

New Season for the Cathedral Choirs The Cathedral of the Incarnation currently has openings in the Cathedral Choir for young musicians who love to sing. The Cathedral Choristers learn sight-singing, music-reading, and healthy singing techniques in a fun, gentle, low key, no stress atmosphere allowing each child to progress at their own pace. This is a wonderful way for a child to meet new friends, have a lot of fun and to simply learn something new that will stay with them for life. Many of the choristers participate in NYSSMA festivals, and the Cathedral Choir is always proud to have a number of choristers represented in AllCounty Ensembles, as well as All-State and All-Eastern Choirs. The coming choir season will see many wonderful musical activities, including a weekend singing trip for all singers to Montreal, Canada, a concert on October 23 to benefit St. Sava’s Serbian Orthodox Cathedral in Manhattan, which suffered a tragic fire, as well as a full complement of weekly and special musical services in

the Cathedral. In addition to the very popular Festival of Lessons and Carols for Christmas on December 18 and Christmas Eve Masses, the Cathedral Choirs will present a Holiday Festival on December 11 in the recently renovated Diocesan House, one of the oldest and most historic structures in Garden City, and the original residence of the Bishop of Long Island. The Cathedral Choirs began their new season by welcoming several new members into their ranks. Joining the choir is a student from Adelphi. Parents can take advantage of this extraordinary opportunity to give their child not only a free musical education but also an appreciation for singing and music that lasts a lifetime. The Cathedral Choirs are open to all families. Parents of children interested in this exciting opportunity should contact Larry Tremsky, Music Director at the Cathedral, (516) 746-2956 ext. 18, to set up a time to meet and discuss this exciting opportunity.

IN MEMORIAM Margaret “Peggy” Heron On October 9, we ended our long and beautiful goodbye to our best friend, our sunshine, and our family glue: Peggy Heron left this world as she has done everything: with intent, grace and class. Born on May 4, 1941 to Harry and Genevieve Grandt (nee Wolfe), Peggy graduated from Garden City HS in 1959 and went on to receive her Bachelor’s and Master’s in Education and later a second degree and very successful second career in Interior Design. Her teaching career brought her to Malverne JrHS where she met fellow teacher Jack Heron; they married in 1964 and would have celebrated 52 incredible years together this December. Together they forged a beautiful and loving family filled with laughter and smiles. Peg is survived by her husband: Jack, her children (& their spouses): Alison Hruby (George), Jennifer Brock (Jeff), Doug Heron (Nikki) and 8 grandchildren - The Hrubys: Katie and Evelyn; The Brocks: Owen, Cooper, Charlie and Nathan; The Herons: Jack and Alyssa. And her loving sisters: Marilyn VanTine and Susan

Margaret "Peggy" Heron Grandt and nephew and nieces: Carl, Kristin, Karen, Elizabeth, Katie and their children. Please visit: www.burroughsfh.com for a full eulogy and Celebration of Life information.

On September 28, Supervisor Anthony Santino presented Detective Richard Pedone with the Town of Hempstead Police Service Award. Commissioner Kenneth Jackson nominated Detective Pedone for his contributions to the Village of Garden City in his capacity as Youth Detective, Community Police Officer, and Investigator. He serves as the Police Liaison and Project Pride Officer to the School District and conducts many safety awareness lectures throughout the community. In addition to these functions, Detective Pedone was involved in three incidents worthy of recognition: In July of this year, Detective Pedone, along with other Garden City Detectives, participated in Operation Grand Slam; a drug task force consisting of detectives and investigators from several Departments conducting a comprehensive investigation to address the heroin epidemic on Long Island. Through the mutual collaboration of the Village Police, the Nassau County DA’s Office, the FBI, the Nassau County Police, and the Suffolk Police, gathering evidence through adjoining investigations, officers arrested and secured indictments of 31 individuals for high level heroin trafficking. Detective Pedone was a key component in the investigative and arrest process

of this operation. On December 18, 2015, Detective Pedone responded to a large fire of numerous vehicles in the parking lot of a car dealer, adjacent to a large apartment complex. He assisted the fire department in the evacuation of workers from the area and the establishment of a safety zone to protect the residents of the apartments. Detective Pedone, with the assistance of a Patrol Sergeant, developed evidence at the scene which eventually led to the arrest of a juvenile. On December 22, 2015, Detective Pedone was alerted to an Active Shooter incident in Roosevelt Field. He immediately responded to the school bordering the Mall property, and assisted school staff in placing the school in lockdown status. School Administrators were impressed by his demeanor and the professional manner in which he handled the situation. He was able to allay any fears of students while still tending to his responsibilities of keeping them safe from danger. The ceremony was attended by Commissioner Kenneth Jackson, Inspector Michael Doyle, Mayor Nicholas Episcopia, Trustee Stephen Makrinos, Trustee Theresa Trouve, Sergeant William Grimes, and other members of the Department.

GCHS Teacher awarded Science Research Fellowship Congratulations to Garden City High School science research teacher, Dr. Steven Gordon, for being selected as one of 200 teachers nationwide to meet with the Regeneron Science Talent Search organizers and research teachers at Regeneron’s Science Research Teachers Conference in Washington, D.C. on September 30th through October 2nd. The conference was co-sponsored by the Society for Science & the Public. Dr. Gordon is pictured here at the conference. The Regeneron Science Talent Search (Regeneron STS), formerly known as the Intel STS, is the nation’s most prestigious science research competition for high school seniors. Since 1942, first in partnership with Westinghouse, then with Intel 19982016, and now with Regeneron, the Science Talent Search (STS) has served as the national stage for the country’s best and brightest young scientists to present original research to nationally recognized professional scientists. Dr. Steven Gordon was also an invited guest of the Northeast Regional Conference of the Association for Science Teacher Education on the afternoon and evening of Thursday October 13th at the Regeneron Corporation, a global biotechnology company, based in Tarrytown, New York. The event began with introductory remarks by George Yancopoulos., MD, Ph.D.,

co-founder of Regeneron, during which he listed all of his science teachers from K-12 and thanked them. Dr. Gordon attended breakout sessions with Regeneron scientists working in fields such as Cardiovascular research, Neuroscience, and Genetics. The researchers explained the laboratory mentorship programs for high school and undergraduate students, STEM teachers, and postdoctoral Fellows. Additionally, Dr. Gordon was selected for a Regeneron STEM internship at the Regeneron Corporation. Dr. Gordon will be attending a two-week mentorship program over the summer of 2017 at Regeneron co-sponsored by the NASA Endeavor STEM Teaching Certificate Program, and the STEM Leadership Center (stemcenter.org). The mentorship will focus on experimental design, statistics, data presentation, and building research partnerships. As the new sponsor of the Science Talent Search, Regeneron has committed over $100 million dollars to STEM education. “I am so grateful that I was selected to attend because it was very important, actually essential, training for running and planning the future of research programs,” shared Dr. Gordon. “It will be great for our research students!” concurred Dr. Elena Cascio, coordinator of the district’s 6-12 science program.

Thank you to our Volunteer Firefighters for all their work on Fire Prevention Day, once again showing their service to our community by demonstrating firefighting techniques and offering helpful suggestions on how to make our homes safer.

life to carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning from a defective boiler when sleeping over at a friend’s house in January 2009. CO alarms must be installed in all new and existing one- and two-family dwellings, multi-family dwellings and rentals having any fuel-burning appliance, system or attached garage. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends CO alarms be installed in a central location outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home. In addition, CO alarms are now required in commercial establishments. When a fire alarm system is maintained within an existing occupancy, the carbon monoxide alarm/detection devices shall be installed and interconnected to the existing fire alarm systems. These devices shall be installed by a NYS licensed alarm company and shall have a letter sent to the Nassau County Fire Marshal’s Office on the installer’s letterhead verifying their installation and meeting the requirements of the Nassau County Fire Prevention Ordinance. When an existing occupancy does not maintain a fire alarm system, the carbon monoxide alarm/detection devices shall be installed and shall be permitted to be UL listed (or equivalent listing agency) plug in type devices or solely battery-operated devices. CO alarms should be replaced every

five years in order to benefit from the latest technology and upgrades. Also, the carbon monoxide sensors inside the alarm unit can wear out over time. Remember, CO is an odor-less, color-less gas. If your detector activates, immediately leave the area and contact the fire department by dialing 746-2800. For more information, visit www.gcfdny.com.

Shop and dine in Garden City

As we move into the Thanksgiving and Christmas season, I encourage all residents to continue to shop in the Village. Our merchants along Seventh Street, Franklin Avenue and New Hyde Park Road have quality merchandise that is only exceeded by their willingness to accommodate their customers. I hope to see you in one of our neighborhood stores.

Automatic Water Sprinklers

As a reminder, October 31 and November 1 result in two consecutive odd days. All residents with automatic sprinklers should remember to reset their clocks at this time to comply with the Village lawn watering regulations. Lawn watering is permitted between the hours of 5:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m.

Board of Trustees Meeting Schedule

The next regularly scheduled Board of Trustees’ meetings for the month of November are November 3 and November 17, 2016. I encourage all residents to attend Board of Trustees meetings so as to be thoroughly informed of Village issues from a first-hand perspective. I hope to see you at a Board of Trustees meeting.

Breast cancer program seeks cancer survivors for survey The Adelphi NY Statewide Breast Cancer Hotline & Support Program is seeking breast cancer survivors to respond to a survey to determine the long and short-term value of support groups. The program, which has provided emotional support and education to New Yorkers concerned about breast cancer for 36 years, is in the second year of this research, asking survivors to share their feelings about support groups. The initial results of the research, conducted with 90 respondents, has produced some interesting data: • more than 75% of the respondents believe that being a member of a support group was valuable for their recovery;

• 97% percent of respondents would recommend a support group to a friend who was diagnosed with breast cancer; • 98% of the respondents report still thinking about breast cancer at least once every day although more than half have not attended a support group in over a year. The researchers have found that many of the respondents have favorable thoughts about breast cancer with 65% expressing gratitude that they are grateful that they beat breast cancer and 46% report thinking favorably about the support they received. Those who are interested in contributing to this research can find the form at http://goo.gl/forms/ov6yupycyI or call Erin Nau, LCSW 516-877-4314.

Guess who came to school today… a tortoise, a ferret, a rabbit, a snake and other furry friends! The animals and reptiles were visiting Nursery Classes at Cathedral Nursery School from the Science Museum of Long Island, Manhasset, NY. The scientists from SMLI spoke to the children and shared some interesting facts about the animals and reptiles. The most exciting part of the visit was being able to touch the furry friends, especially Salt, the chinchilla who was so soft. Cathedral Nursery School is a

not-for-profit nursery school offering classes for 2, 3 and 4 year olds. In-house and alumni registration for our 20172018 school year will begin on Tuesday, November 1st.

We have finally got the good Fall weather - bright blue skies, bracing temperatures and all seems to be well for the rest of the month. The ladies of the Community Club of Garden City and Hempstead started off the season with a trip to Wave Hill this past week and one of the highlights was the view of the Palisades and a showing of Autumn color. It just took their breath away. The tours of the various greenhouses was not only lovely, but educational as there were many plants that were not familiar to most people. A delicious luncheon with another look at the river was also enjoyed. Some of the ladies who attended - and there was a bus full - were: Barbara Helmus, Mary Polak, Willa Ward, Alice Sarkis, and Michele Weisberg. Garden Department Chairlady Muriel Urban was also there. It was a wonderful day for one and all. Another first coming up or the ladies of the club will be High Tea before the program titled “Music, Women and Society,” presented by Linda Pratt. It sure sounds like a winner to me! One question going around town by the ladies who shop at Lord and Taylor on Franklin Avenue. It seems to be going on forever and things seem to be in different places than we are all used to . I believe that the rearranging started this past summer or even possibly before. I wonder what they will do when the Christmas shoppers start looking for things for gifts? I guess we will see when the time comes. If it’s not one thing, it’s another. In last week’s Garden City News we read about the water contamination in the water in the schools and also about the creepy clowns. What will be next? I do have confidence in our Garden City Police Department to take care of this problem. However, it is always best to be aware of your surroundings at all times and to walk home in groups. A number of folks from Garden City attended the show at Adelphi University this past weekend and

were delighted with the presentation . They played to a full house on both Saturday and Sunday and that speaks for itself as to the popularity of their shows and their Drama Department. They advertise in this paper so give them a try. Happy Birthday wishes to go to Joan Typermass who will be celebrating her special day just about now and may she have many more. Wedding anniversary to Fran and Dick Costello who should be doing their celebrating just about now and to Jackie and Bill Polon who will be close to their 21st Anniversary on the 21st of this month. Sometimes it just works out this way and when it does it makes it more special. In case you hadn’t noticed the trees are starting to turn color and just about every day there ware more of them as the temperature is getting lower especially during the night. So we can wake up and see more colors every day. What a delightful sight. Just a heads up for a very special date. Remember when we all sprang forward this past March - well its getting close to the time when we Fall back and tat will take place on November 6th. I will probably remind you again so you will not be late for church or any other appointments that you have for that day. Just don’t say - she didn’t tell us. A number of ladies from Garden City and Stewart Manor attended the Second District of the various Garden Clubs on Monday, October 17th. There was a delicious luncheon followed by an interesting talk on the arranging of flowers by an expert arranger in the field of arranging. They all got a lot of tips from the speaker on creative arranging and went home looking forward to trying out many of her suggestions. This all took place at the Crest Hollow Country Club in Syosset. Good for you, ladies. See you all next week.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Email: Editor@GCNews.com

From page 2 How will transient students affect our schools? I would make the final point that there are already hotels in this area, one on Stewart Avenue near Quinten Roosevelt Blvd, and another recently built hotel just off Glen Cove Road, not far from Voice Road ( near the closed Waldbaums), and another across the street from Lowes Hardware, each of them not a mile from this proposed new hotel location. I think enough is enough. Mark me down as totally opposed to putting a hotel here. I believe the impact would be the further destruction of the quality of life and safety for Garden City residents. I urge the Mayor, town board and building department and safety departments to oppose this construction in the strongest terms. I suggest Garden City residents contact the town to express their objections to this potential construction immediately. Leslie Dimmling

Moments of spiritual joy

To the Editor: On Sunday the 16th of October I was invited to attend a movie at the Agnes

Room at St. Joseph Catholic Church. The movie was ‘Mother Theresa of Calcutta’. I was glad indeed that I attended since the movie brought me and I am sure to a great number of attendees, moments of spiritual joy as well as physical peace and awareness, that good deeds are indeed recognized. During her lifetime, Mother Theresa already received recognition and thankfulness from a large number of dignitaries the world over and most importantly, the love and devotion from those whose lives she saved as well as the comfort and inner satisfaction of doing so. She also received the Nobel Peace Price and was elevated to Sainthood after her death. She is now called Saint Theresa of Calcutta with a very large number of devotees worldwide. During the show, I noticed several members of the audience bringing their handkerchiefs and even their finger to retrieve a tear or more from their eyes. There was silence, total concentration and peace. No fistfuls of popcorn munching, telephone rings, conversations or any detectable noise whatsoever. Thank you St. Joseph Church for bringing us such wonderful moments of peace and joy. Antonio Moreno

WHAT’S UP G.C. ?!

“Street Names” BY JOHN ELLIS KORDES Have you ever noticed west of St. Paul’s that all the street names are from England? Garden City Estates was a development begun in 1906 after a one square mile parcel of land west of St. Paul’s was sold by the Garden City Company. This development was run by the Garden City Estates Corporation as a separate community until 1919 when it incorporated with Garden City. The streets were given all English names picking up the flavor of old Garden City with its Victorian roots. Often, today one might hear someone refer to the “Estate” section as if they were actually Estates. They are not and it should be remembered that it was simply the name of a place. Today, the area is an integral part of Garden City. However it has retained its identity somewhat by being one of the four Property Owners Associations. Many sections of Garden City have obvious sources for street names. From trees, to flowers, to colleges, to Presidents and other famous Americans. However there are street names that can be linked back to the founding of the Village. In 1893, the heirs of Cornelia Stewart created the Garden City Company to continue the orderly development of Garden City. Many of these men’s names have found their way to our streets: Stewart Ave., - obviously for Alexander T. Stewart

Clinch Av. - Cornelia Stewart’s maiden name Hilton Ave., - Henry Hilton Stewart’s legal advisor Kellum Pl. & La. - John Kellum Stewart’s architect Prescott St. - Prescott Hall Butler Maxwell Rd. - Maxwell Evarts Butler Osborne Rd. - Frank Sayre Osborne Merillon Ave. - Joseph Merillon Wetherill Rd. - J.B. Wetherill Lefferts Rd. - Barents Lefferts Huntington Rd. - Francis Huntington Deveraux Pl. - Devereaux Emmett Emmett Pl. - Devereaux Emmett Butler Pl. - Charles Butler Russell Rd. - Horace Russell Many of Cornelia’s heirs lived in St. James on Eastern Long Island and thus the streets St. James South and St. James North. The street Vanderbilt Ct. was for Willie K. Vanderbilt Jr., who built the Long Island Motor Parkway. Hubbell Plaza at the railroad station for George Hubbell, Garden City’s first mayor. Carteret Pl. named for the 1890’s Carteret Gun Club from Carteret, New Jersey. Finally, Newmarket Road whose name predates Garden City. The name comes from the Old New Market Race Course where some of the first horse racing took place in America on the barren Hempstead Plains back in the mid-1600’s

Young Activist Grant offers $500 to Nassau County teens

The Young Activist Grant of the Ethical Humanist Society of Long Island is available to Nassau County middle school and high school students who want to create a better world. The $500 grant funds a selected student’s project in areas of peace, humanitarian efforts, the environment, disaster relief, or disadvantaged groups. The project can be a fundraiser that connects to an existing organization (such as the Habitat for Humanity) or makes a direct change (such as a neighborhood clean-up or voter registration drive). The grant will give the student seed money to conduct the project. Previous Young Activist Grants have supported safe recycling of medicine containers for clinics in Malawi, Spring Baskets for children in homeless shelters, educating high school students about underage drinking with

stickers on pizza boxes, creating an outdoor play area at a homeless shelter, running a Bowl-a-thon for Habitat for Humanity, and creating and selling ornaments to raise money for a breast cancer program. Says Roslyn High School student Matthew Berman who collected 3500 pill bottles that were sent to Africa, “I am so grateful for this opportunity that the grant presented me with to turn this plan on paper into a successful and functioning reality.” The student must be a Nassau County resident, aged 12 to 18, and enrolled in middle school or high school. The application deadline is November 30, 2016, with the project to be completed before May 15, 2017. For more detailed information about the grant and an application, go to www.ehsli.org (Social Action tab) or call 516-741-7304.

GC resident tours with Tony Orlando and Dawn

George Petersen Garden City resident George Petersen had a busy summer on tour with 1970’s pop star Tony Orlando and the original members of Dawn (Joyce Vincent and Telma Hopkins). George was asked to be arranger and conductor for the tour, which featured reunion performances at the Event Center at the Sands Casino in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and Mohegan Sun Event Center in Unquesville, Connecticut and the Borgata in Atlantic City, N.J. Earlier in the summer George was in Branson, Missouri with the Tony Orlando Band. The set list for the tour included Tony Orlando and Dawn’s five number one hits: “Knock Three Times”, “Candida”, “He Don’t Love You”, “Say Has Anybody Seen My Sweet Gypsy Rose” and “Tie a Yellow Ribbon (‘Round the Ole Oak Tree)” plus many of the other top 20 hits recorded by the group. Mr. Petersen continues to teach private music education, mostly in the Garden City area where he has done so for forty years. In addition to teaching, George is a freelance audio producer-engineer. He worked as mixing editor and pianist on “The Best 101 Children’s Songs” and editor on the classical sensation “The Musical Sea of Tranquility” for the Nancy Music label. George is owner and executive producer of Cats Paw Records, Inc., a mainstream and contemporary jazz label. In 1998 he produced a #1 hit on the Billboard Jazz chart for Cats Paw Records/Malaco Music Group. He has done production work on “Sounds of Nature” for Time/Warner/Sony and has been an engineer/musician the last thirty years for music education author Dr. “Bugs” Bower, a Garden City resident. George has produced incidental, background and thematic music for NBC Sports, History Films Inc., AC Comics and ESPN. Mr. Petersen has produced music for Naxos Records,

Seaside Recordings, Photon Records, Malaco Music Group, Hal Leonard Publishing and 4-tay Records. He is privileged to have worked with noted entertainers Bob Hardwick, Criss Angel, JD Angel, Peter Duchin and of course Tony Orlando. George has composed several works for musical theatre: “Benny the Burro” (2002), “Truckstop” (2010), and “Tattooed Angel” (2016) with author/ lyricist Frank Roman, also a Garden City resident. Other credits include symphonic writing; “Centennial Celebration” dedicated to the 100th Anniversary of the Village of Mineola; two opera adaptations, Becket (2011), Tale of Two Cities (2013) and playing in various Long Island Community Theatre companies. His discography includes two titles: “Mostly Me” and “Atlantico” available at CD Baby.com. George served as Youth Choir and Instrumental Director at the Garden City Community Church from 2000 to 2004. At present, he is Director of Music/Organist at First Presbyterian Church of Freeport and has been serving there since 2004. George lives in Garden City with his wife Celia and twenty year-old son, Andrew, a junior at Binghamton University. Mr. Petersen studied music composition and piano with Merrill Debski; guitar with Nick Longo and Billy Bauer; and jazz studies with Dr. Billy Taylor. George went to Long Island University, earning a B.A. in Philosophy. He also holds a B.F.A. in Music from the State University of New York. George will be playing with the Tony Orlando Band at Vet Rocks, Mohegan Sun Event Center this coming Veterans Day, Friday, November 11th. 9,500 people (veterans and their families) are expected to attend this wonderful event honoring our veterans and current Armed Forces personnel.

Second-graders get acquainted BY STELLA GUIRY, TEACHER The second-graders in Mrs. Stella Guiry’s second grade class at Stewart School got to know one another by bringing in a “ME BAG.” Inside the bag were many treasures that helped the class and teacher learn more about the interests and hobbies of the new friends. Some children shared a favorite stuffed animal, a vacation souvenir,

or a piece from a special collection. Many shared their family photographs. Mrs. Guiry modeled this learning activity by sharing her own “ME BAG” the previous day. This activity proved to be an exciting one that enhanced the new second-graders’ oral skills and helped the children make new friends by finding similarities and differences in their classmates’ interests and hobbies.

As always, the Garden City Jewish Center’s Religious School held special Children’s services and activities while the adults were upstairs at the High holiday services. On Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year), children got to participate in a short service that was followed by a snack of apples and honey, shofar blasting practice and challah (egg bread) braiding. Everyone involved had a great time, and visitors got a taste of Jewish culture and history. Ten days later, the holiday of Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement) was marked with another short service, followed by more than thirty children and parents doing the good deed (mitzvah) of making decorations and then decorating the sukkah (a little booth), in the side yard. Paper chains, popcorn

strings, apples, carrots and pictures of fruits and harvest vegetables of the season were used to make a little temporary building that calls to mind the 40 years of the Hebrews wandering in the desert, back in the days of the Bible. The holiday of Sukkot is now past as well, and the festive season culminates with Simchat Torah this coming weekend. The Sundays-only Religious school is booming with new families and friends from many surrounding towns. The Garden City Jewish Center is a warm and friendly Reform congregation where everyone is welcome – Jews of all denominations, dual-faith families, singles and students. Please go to www.gardencityjewishcenter.org for more information!

Library advocates for new crosswalk on 7th

From page 1 POA’s, so a letter to Deputy Mayor Richard Silver, chairman of the Traffic Commission, about the need for a crosswalk was considered the alternative. At their October 17 meeting the Library Board approved a resolution to send the request to the deputy mayor was approved, for a crosswalk directly in front of GCPL’s entrance and going across Seventh Street, “to enable people crossing from the other side not to have to go to the Garden City Hotel or the corner of Hilton and Seventh,” according to Colahan. A few members of the Village Board of Trustees apparently asked Colahan if the request was for a crosswalk near the Garden City Hotel, where one exists, and the corner of Seventh and Hilton, where another is. He says the solution has to be right out front of the library, and considering that in the main business corridor of Seventh Street just a block away there are multiple crosswalks, the library board views it as an acceptable need fitting with the village’s main road. “We are not talking about a stop sign, we’re talking about a crosswalk,” Colahan said. Library Vice Chair Gloria Weinrich recalled a situation eight years ago where a stop sign was proposed but voted down by the Commission. Resident Cyril Smith, a regular at Library Board of Trustees’ meetings, spoke about a similar request years back. He said some of the opposition then stated that parking spaces on the north side of Seventh,

across from the library, would be lost and one would be lost right in front on the south side. He also cited a need to address visibility for cars to spot somebody entering the proposed crosswalk. Smith advised the library board to prepare an argument for the parking aspect. Colahan told him the GCPL board and administration feels that there are plenty of parking spaces in the parking lot. He said the only time the GCPL’s parking lot really overflows is for events at the Garden City Hotel, and in that case later at night when the library would be closed. Pending further results of the survey as October draws to an end, Trustee Colahan and the library board have instructed Director Lisa Paulo to draft a letter to Deputy Mayor Silver and submit the crosswalk proposal for the Commission’s consideration at their next meeting, which after Thursday night October 20 will be in December given the new schedule of every other month.

Marriott Project and Local Laws Noted

In his report to the Library Board at its meeting on Monday night, October 17, Village Trustee John Delany said the new Marriott Residence Inn – the subject of a new local law set for the Board of Trustees’ review and a public hearing on October 20 – would be operated by OTO Hospitality Development and Hotel Management “who has a number of hotels throughout the country.” Three nights later the Village Board was set to approve a zoning change for the part of Garden City where the project would be located.

Delany told the GCPL Board that the Ring Road parcel adjacent to Maggiano’s Little Italy where the new venue would sit on is jointly owned by OTO and one of Simon Property Group’s subsidiaries. According to the Eastern POA trustee, the project to construct the new Marriott hotel would not start until 18 months from now, with groundbreaking expected in 2018. Library Trustee Charles Murphy asked Delany if the Marriott Residence Inn will add a significant corporate tax revenue to the village, and Delany confirmed that it is projected to. He also briefly explained a traffic consideration with Old Country Road and Clinton Road’s intersection, as the property itself and everything west of that location including Ring Road office and retail buildings are in Village of Garden City boundaries. East of that is unincorporated Town of Hempstead as well as the Village of Uniondale, which used to be Garden City East. Trustee John Delany also updated the Garden City Public Library Board at its October 17 meeting on the Crown Castle and telecommunications ordinance (local law passed months ago) slated for a minor update. He says in June a few members of the Board of Trustees met with Crown Castle representatives and they were supposed to come back and present the village with “their ideas of what they wanted to do on the boxes and how they wanted to do it.” As of October Delany reports that village administration has yet to hear back from Crown Castle. “We just have to see what happens,” he said on Monday night.

Audit report for GCUFSD captures bright side

From page 1 of all our buildings. Our physical plant has needs, and we have persevered through the use of prudent, conservative budgeting practices and reserves since the tax cap went into effect and since there has been so much fiscal uncertainty,” Heineman said. David M. Tellier, CPA/CFF is a partner with the district’s CPA firm, Nawrocki Smith LLP in Melville which is the district’s external auditor, having completed its review for the 2015-2016 academic year on June 30. Tellier has over 15 years of experience in rendering audit and attestation services in the following industries: not-for-profit, government, and manufacturing, wholesale trade, and construction contractors and service entities. Nawrocki Smith LLP was contracted by the district to perform an audit of GCUFSD’s general purpose financial statements for the year ended on June 30; a single audit of GCUFSD’s federal water program as well as an audit of extra classroom activity funds using a cash basis of accounting. Ahead of the public presentation last week Tellier participated in a presentation for the in-district audit committee. At the school board’s business meeting on Thursday night, October 13 at Homestead School, Tellier delivered one startling piece of news in his audited finance report. He referred to GASB 45 – the post-employment benefits figure, set up for active retirees plus an actuary-determined amount for current district employees -- and implications ahead for Garden City. Costs are weighted based on criteria such as teacher experience levels and teachers nearing retirement, with various calculations coming forth. The current sum is slightly over $25 million with a current year (2016-2017) increase of $6.6 million. However that number will likely skyrocket on paper in the near future. “That total liability sitting was determined at over $142 million. That is significant because in the next few years, changes to GASB is going to make districts

accountable for that liability in a one-shot type of deal. It will soon go completely onto the district’s balance sheet. When you had initially started it was spread out over a 30-year period, and currently there are 22 more years left but accounting pronouncements will change that – that is going to adversely impact the financial position of the school district,” he announced. Superintendent of Schools Dr. Robert Feirsen asked for more information on that GASB 45 change. Tellier says two years from now, in 2018-2019, the payments will remain the same for healthcare bills in school districts (for staff) and other municipal entities such as counties, towns or villages. But large numbers will skew the look of each one’s financial picture, due to an expected change for balance sheets that will not impact the schools’ budget. “In two years GASB has issued a new statement where instead of taking the 30-year amortization of that number, and solely putting it on the balance sheet we are going to have to put it all on at one time. I don’t know why they chose to do it now and why they did not do it in the beginning, and why they are changing course,” Tellier said. Feirsen was perplexed how the school district would explain this additional $120 million “in theoretical debt” to parents, taxpayers and even faculty when it isn’t a lump sum for a budget year. “To the untrained eye it will look like a dramatic change,” he said. Tellier agreed and says at the time of the change proper communications to the community and within the financial statements will be key. “We have two years to really prepare people to see what they are going to see,” he told Dr. Feirsen. Heineman confirmed with Tellier that by law, the district as a municipal entity cannot fund that $142 million. He said the true way to fund it would be setting up an irrevocable trust to have money sit in that account and it could be only utilized for that specific purpose.

“New York State does not allow any such funding requirement for any municipality at this time,” he said. Last fiscal year the district had to add on data to its balance sheet for retirements’ payments (TRS and ERS). Tellier says financial reporting documents may need to be “aligned” to collect accounting data on at once instead of in a 30-year allocation. But the biggest concern for GCUFSD might be finance ratings’ agencies such as Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s, as Tellier says those firms have not yet paid attention to this number. “They kind of toss it out of the window because every municipality is in the same boat. As long as the agencies are on par and they understand it so it does not impact your bond rating it will be more communication and awareness to the community,” he told the school board. Speaking more about GCUFSD operations in his “clean and unmodified opinion” Tellier said all of GCUFSD’s general fund balance had all its categories within allowable limits, with the district appropriating $2.5 million to balance the 2016-2017 school year budget. “The district is operating the school year within its budgeted categories from the adopted budget. GCUFSD has capital assets, net of depreciation, of just over $86 million (buildings, infrastructure and equipment). Total serial bonds outstanding as of the end of the last school year of over $35 million, and that is with the current year’s reduction of $3.3 million. There were no material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in the internal controls for Garden City,” Tellier announced. Three “incidental” recommendations have been made by Nawrocki Smith to the schools’ administration and the audit committee. Tellier says he doesn’t see any reason why those suggestions would not have been implemented by the end of the school year, and See page 55

Guests will also enjoy a scenic rickshaw ride through Old Delhi along with cultural music and dance performances. “India is known for its antiquity and modern high-tech, its spirituality and Bollywood swagger, its bustling cities and pristine nature - a cultural kaleidoscope at the center of the world’s largest democracy. But what’s typically not known is India’s long history as one of the most hospitable homes in the Jewish Diaspora,” said Dr. Katz. “For centuries, Jews found a haven in which their traditions flourished. So too, they’ve been among India’s great mystics, taken center stage in Bollywood, served as mayor of major cities and produced the country’s greatest military hero, General J. F. R. ‘Jack’ Jacob, and most celebrated patron saint of 17th century Indian poetry, Sarmad Kashani.” “India is fascinating not only for its sacred cow, the Taj Mahal and Hinduism, but it is also home to the least known and most benevolent Jewish Diaspora, including a Jewish kingdom established in the 5th century. Jews have lived in India for well over 2,000 years without a trace of anti-Semitism. I was surprised to learn so much about Jewish history of which I was previously unaware during the creation of this program,”

Tour Celebrates Jewish Culture in Cuba, March 1 -5, 2017 Led by Ruth Behar, Professor of Anthropology at the University of Michigan Ruth Behar, Professor of Anthropology at the University of Michigan is leading a tour focused on the first public Celebration of Jewish Culture in Cuba, a landmark event bringing together art, theater, music, dance, and literature. The trip will highlight all the ways that Jewish Cuban heritage is alive and vibrant and open to the world. “The story of the Jews in Cuba is like no other Jewish story. Jews arrived on the island at the beginning of the 20th century, mostly from Turkey and Poland, and brought with them the strong Sephardic and Yiddish cultural traditions,” she says. “These Jewish immigrants couldn’t help but succumb to the stunning vitality of Cuban culture and so they created a unique fusion of Jewish and Cuban culture. In recent years, a Jewish cultural rebirth has taken place in Cuba that has received a boost thanks to the many bridges being extended between Cuba and the United States. With the outpouring of enthusiasm for Jewish Cuban culture, this is an ideal moment to go and celebrate how Cuba became a refuge and a home for the Jewish people. “Learn about the culture of Cuba, meet the Cuban people, interact with members of the Jewish community, and get to know the Jewish Cuban heritage and the vibrant ways in which that heritage is being interpreted by a new generation. You will experience the eclectic architecture of Havana and learn about the Jewish presence in the city, dine at the most charming home restaurants, and enjoy musical concerts of Klezmer, Sephardic, jazz and JewishCuban fusion music.” Highlights include: Greeting from Adela Dworin, president of the Jewish Community of Cuba and David Prinstein, vicepresident of the Jewish Community of Cuba, Patronato Synagogue. Known as the Patronato, Cuba’s major Jewish community center was designed by famed architect Aquiles Capablanca and founded in 1953. It maintains its beautiful facade with the symbols of the twelve tribes of Israel and a modernist arch rising to the heavens. In recent years, the Patronato has become a crossroads for Jews from all over the world.

The Golden Girls are hot, again BY MARJORIE GOTTLIEB WOLFE The hottest thing at New York Comic Con this year was Rose, Dorothy, Blanche and Sophia from the “Golden Girls” sitcom. This comedy aired from 1985 to 1992. Action figures of the “Golden Girls” were made by toy maker, Funko, and within hours the toys disappeared from the shelves. Their success wasn’t just limited to New York. Thousands of units were distributed to Target Corp. and sold out in less than 24 hours. Shown below is a guide to some very funny quotes taken from their many episodes. Enjoy!

Cooking

Rose: Cooking, Dorothy? Dorothy: No, Rose, I’m developing pictures for the Magellan Space Program.

Rose: Mmmmmm, Sophia! The kitchen smells wonderful. Is it Chef Boyardee? Rose, Sophia [Sophia holds up a knife] Stick it in my heart, Rose; it’ll hurt less!

Earthquake/to explode

[Rose and Dorothy confront Blanche about sleeping with Gil Kessler. Rose says to Blanche regarding the news-

LBJ Did NOT Steal Social Security Funds BY TOM MARGENAU

Poor Lyndon Johnson. When it comes to Social Security, he gets blamed for something he never did. Our 36th president is often accused of being the first chief executive to tamper with Social Security financing. Well, he did tamper with it. But not in the way conventional wisdom would have you believe. And I was reminded of this in the reactions I got to my last two columns in which I cleared up myths about Social Security financing and presented a number of proposals for reforming the program. Dozens of you wrote and told me some version of this sentiment that came from a reader in California: “Social Security wouldn’t need any changes if Congress would just pay back the money that President Johnson stole from the Social Security system back in the ‘60s.” And here is another version of the story as relayed by a Texas reader: “We all know that LBJ cooked the books when it came to the Social Security trust funds. Get that money back and Social Security will be flush with cash!” For decades now, misinformed critics have charged that President Lyndon Johnson moved Social Security money from its own separate ledgers to the government’s general funds in order to spend it. That’s not quite right. Here is what really happened. We all know that the Vietnam War, which LBJ inherited from his predecessor, John F. Kennedy, was rapidly turning into a huge albatross around Johnson’s neck. And it wasn’t just the loss of thousands of young men’s lives that was bothering him. It was also the staggering costs of paying for the increasingly unpopular war in Southeast Asia. He was looking for a way to hide some of those costs, not just from Congress but from the American people. The government’s general coffers were essentially empty. But he noticed that there was an entirely separate government fund that was flush with cash -- the Social Security trust fund. What most people mistakenly think LBJ did was simply tap into those funds and “steal” Social Security money to help pay for the Vietnam War. But that is NOT what he did. What he did do was simply change an internal government bookkeeping practice. Up until that period of time, Social Security’s income and expenditures had always been kept on a completely separate set of government books. President Johnson merely added Social Security’s accounts to the general government budget. But this is the important (and almost always overlooked) point: He did not change in any way the method used to invest and spend Social Security money. In other words, Social Security funds were not touched. By pulling off this bookkeeping maneuver, by adding the Social Security funds to the govern-

ment’s overall ledgers, LBJ was able to disguise the growing deficit caused primarily by all the spending for the Vietnam War. Maybe this analogy will help you understand what happened. Fred and Ethel are married. They both work. And they keep separate bank accounts to manage their finances. Fred spends money like there is no tomorrow. His bank balance is always near zero. Ethel saves a lot of her income, so she has a substantial account balance. Fred talks Ethel into combining their assets. Neither person changes their habits. Fred keeps spending just his money and Ethel saves most of hers. But suddenly Fred looks like he has more money than he really does because, on paper at least, his bankrupt account has been combined with Ethel’s flush ledgers. Fred is like President Johnson and the overall government budget. Ethel is Social Security. Fred really hasn’t done anything wrong. He hasn’t taken any of Ethel’s money. He’s simply using her money to make his bottom line look better. Like Fred, Johnson moved the balance sheets for Social Security money into the overall government budget for one sneaky reason: to mask his (and Congress’s) risky spending habits. All that Social Security income made the actual government deficit appear smaller. This accounting procedure, adding Social Security trust fund accounts into the overall federal bookkeeping ledgers, is known as the “unified budget.” And despite its shifty intentions, you could make the argument that the procedure is entirely justified. After all, Social Security money is government money and it makes sense to add it in with all other government funds. Still, after the American people figured out what was going on, these bookkeeping shenanigans left a bad taste, not only in their mouths, but in those of Congress as well. That’s why back in the 1990s, Congress changed the law to remove Social Security funds from the overall federal budget. So Social Security went back to its original “off budget” status. Of course, by doing that, the government deficit, at least on paper, suddenly seemed much worse that it previously did. So almost ever since then, Congress has essentially kept two sets of books. One is the official budget with Social Security funds not included. But a second is the unified budget with Social Security funds still added in. Which budget picture Congress presents to their constituents depends on the message they are trying to convey. If they want to scare you and tell you how bad the economy is and why you need to re-elect them to help reduce the deficit, they will show you the official budget books (with Social Security not included). If they want to impress you and

tell you how they have been working diligently to control government spending and reduce the deficit, and why you need to re-elect them to continue to do so, they will show you the unified budget (with Social Security surpluses included). Having said all that, I cannot stress enough that all of this game-playing with the government books has absolutely nothing to do with how Social Security

tax money is spent on Social Security benefits and invested in government bonds. So President Johnson, and no president since, and, for that matter, no member of Congress, has ever stolen a nickel of Social Security money. But they sure have played around with it!

C ontinued from page D3

The Golden Girls are hot again

Jealous

Dorothy: You’re just jealous because I have a date on Saturday night and you don’t. Blanche: Saturday night? Kid stuff. Get lucky on a Tuesday morning, then call me.

Nun

[Dorothy cannot find work during a ten-weeks leave from her job as a teacher] Sophia: This wouldn’t have happened if you had taken the job I wanted you to. Dorothy: Ma, you wanted me to be a nun. Sophia: Right. It’s steady work, they supply the uniform and you’re married to God—at least he is home every night.

Dressed up

Blanche: Dorothy, do you think I’m dressed okay for the dog races? Sophia: That depends—Are you competing?

Diary

Rose: Once I read your diary. Blanche: You did what? Rose: Well, it was an accident. You left it open on the kitchen table. I was twenty pages in before I realized it wasn’t a Sidney Sheldon novel.

Pain

Sophia: Ow! Dorothy: What is it, Ma? Sophia: Pain. Dorothy: What kind of pain? Sophia: The kind that hurts!

Strange man

Rose: There’s a strange man on our front lawn. Blanche: Get the net!

Transformation

Blanche: [to Marla and Jackie] Well, just let me freshen my makeup. Girls, why do’ you come with me and I’ll show you how I transform myself into a fresh faced innocent young thing. Rose: Could you skip the innocent part, Blanche, the show starts in two hours.

Dress

Dorothy: Ma, I’m taking the dress back to the mall. Sophia: So? Dorothy: So, I’m sorry for what I said earlier, and I’d really like it if you came along and helped me pick out another one. What do you say? Sophia: What do I say? I’m your mother, Dorothy. I was there for you when you needed a communion dress. I was there when you needed a prom dress, and frankly, I’m sick of it. Buy your own damn dress.

Initials

Blanche: That doesn’t say ‘Bed’! Those are my initials: Blanche Elizabeth Devereaux.

Hour Glass Figure

Blanche: One thing I know is I haven’t lost my hour glass figure. Dorothy: But it looks like someone poured about ninety minutes extra sand into it.

Estate

Sophia: I’m selling my estate. Dorothy: What estate? Your bus pass and loofah sponge?

Promotion

Rose: Do you know that promotion I was up for at the counseling center? Well, I found out I can’t have it unless I become bilingual. Blanche: Oh, honey, don’t do that. No job is worth having to date women.

Looking younger

Stan: Hey, Sophia, you’re looking younger and more beautiful than ever. Sophia: And may I say that’s a beautiful toupee you’re wearing? There, now we’re both lying. MARJORIE WOLFE’S favorite quote from the “Golden Girls”: Sophia: Please, I’m in my twilight years. Dorothy: You’re in the Twilight ZONE!

Create Classic Flavor Combinations, Even Without All of the Ingredients BY LISA MESSINGER Anyone who grew up on treats like date nut bread and cream cheese -- or even English muffin “pizzas” from the toaster oven -- knows how comforting they can be. What’s even more heartening is how easy it is to replicate the cozy experiences, even when you don’t have all of the ingredients on hand. A flavor fest is just that. It’s about memories of the essences of classic flavor combinations. Below are some dishes I make in a flash that often even feature improvements over the originals. The date nut dazzler, for instance, is even tastier with the pecans I always have in the house rather than the plainer walnuts fea-

tured in most traditional recipes. DATE NUT DAZZLER Spread whole-wheat crackers with cream cheese and top with ground cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice, chopped dates, and chopped pecans. PIZZA PEP-ME-UPS Paint store-bought thawed puff pastry dough with pizza or pasta sauce, fill with cooked pepperoni slices, shredded mozzarella cheese, finely diced green bell pepper, mushroom and red onion, fold closed and cook according to puff pastry package instructions. INSIDE-OUT CHILI DOGS To homemade or canned chili, add sliced cooked hot dogs, ketchup and mustard. Serve with torn pieces of toasted hot dog buns for dipping.

FROZEN WAFFLE FEST Stir pure maple syrup and orange marmalade or strawberry jam into peanut butter and spread on top of warm toasted freezer waffles. EVEN MORE CREAMY CREAM OF TOMATO SOUP In a microwave-safe container for 20 seconds, or until melted, heat together cheddar, pepperjack and Swiss cheeses. Swirl into servings of homemade or canned cream of tomato soup and top with garlic-flavored packaged croutons. HAPPY HOT CHOCOLATE Into a cup of heated hot chocolate, stir strawberry pancake syrup, pure vanilla extract, a dash of cayenne pepper, and top with whipped cream and ground cinnamon. BREAD PUDDING PIZZAZZ Rip chunks of egg bread or challah and mix gently into homemade or store-bought vanilla pudding to which you have stirred in ground allspice and cloves. APPLESAUCE APPLE PIE Into no-sugar-added applesauce, stir chopped walnuts, raisins and cinnamon. Top with broken sugar cookie

pieces and heat in microwave for 30 seconds, or until warm.

AFTER-WORK GOURMET COOKBOOK SHELF A slow cooker is often the home of rich, creamy comfort food meals full of calories. Gina Homolka, creator of the popular “Skinnytaste” series of books, proves that doesn’t always have to be the case. In “Skinnytaste Fast and Slow,” she fills diners up and not out with thoughtful lowered-fat recipes full of simmered-in flavor. Because of her expertise with this type of recipe creation, Homolka comes up with lots of varied innovations, such as chicken and dumplings, cauliflower “fried” rice, Korean-style beef tacos and flourless chocolate brownies. Lisa Messinger is a first-place winner in food writing from the Association of Food Journalists and the author of seven food books, including “Mrs. Cubbison’s Best Stuffing Cookbook” and “The Sourdough Bread Bowl Cookbook.” COPYRIGHT 2016 CREATORS.COM

Audit report for GCUFSD captures bright side

From page 51 in time for his firm to complete an audit for 2016-2017 in roughly a year. He echoes Heineman’s points, prudent management and the utilizations of district reserves when needed – including the capital reserve fund established through a referendum vote in 2015 – are essential practices as Garden City and most other districts will have “a lot of tough years ahead.” The biggest expenses to cover are payroll and employee benefit-driven items, and the district “will have to concede lots of savings in those areas.” According to Tellier the tax cap won’t go away for at least the next five years and probably much longer than that. In his presentation Tellier mentioned the 2009 energy performance contract. It has just under $10 million in outstanding balance for the current year, reflecting a reduction of approximately $716,000. Tellier told the school board the savings that GCUFSD receives throughout with energy performance and efficiency

as well as state aid “far surpasses the payments the district makes” for the performance upgrades, calling it a great tool that Garden City Schools utilized. School board trustee Robert Martin commented that he found the audit report and its footnotes “remarkably understandable, which is not always the case in financial footnotes.” Tellier’s comments last Thursday evening included compliments on the efficiency of the business office under the leadership of Dana DiCapua, assistant superintendent for business and finance. He mentioned that GCUFSD was one of few Long Island districts to have submitted its documents before the state filing deadlines, standing in full compliance with all statutory requirements. “I deal with many school districts and I think unfortunately this business office does not get as much attention as it deserves, but you have a wonderful and well-established business office. We have the utmost respect for it and we’ve gotten tremendous cooperation throughout. They take the time and effort to make

sure the district’s books and records are closed out, prepared and ready to go for us to come in to do the audit. We could not perform our work, present to you and be able to file your financial statements on time with NYSED without that,” he said. Martin seconded the praise of the GCUFSD business office, saying their efficiency gives the district and school board the ability to rely on the numbers and not have to worry about them, in turn a chance to concentrate on educational items, academic programs and decisions is abetted. Tellier believes that represents the biggest point to make: board members and the public can have full confidence in what they receive from the district’s business office. Heineman says the degree of professionalism and attention to detail exhibited by Ms. DiCapua and her team in the business office is tremendous, and she thanked her at the meeting. Board Vice President Tom Pinou summed it up in one word: “commitment.”

From page 1 Carroll Street in Brooklyn, outlined a few significant changes based on observations of the GCPL building, community needs and modern technology, and the forward-thinking Darien, Connecticut Public Library which a few of the GCPL trustees had visited and Martin had worked with. This week Delany mentioned to the GCPL Board that Murphy’s recent presentation didn’t include cost estimates and where the funding for any such project would be coming from, given the village’s capital plan and municipal structure (the village owns the GCPL building and is responsible for operations and physical plant costs). He says based on that, he is looking for what GCPL puts forth in its capital budget proposal for the 2017-2018 fiscal year as budget focus takes shape in the finance department of Village Hall. “You (the GCPL Board) obviously have to do what you must for the library. But I just wonder whether or not some other things need to be done – I expect that you’d come forward to the Village Board of Trustees with a capital project to repair the heating and HVAC systems which are now 40 years old, I would imagine they need to be redone. Some preliminary work was done on the heating unit in the end of summer, but I think more work is required. I expect the library redesign project to be part of the budget proposal but I think you realize that there are other things that should come before that,” Delany said. Delany was a GCPL Trustee and chairman of that board years ago, and he says a new consideration are the cost-effective and more fuel-efficient systems on the market for HVAC. He turned to Paulo for an update from the consulting engineering firm. Paulo explained that for all village departments the year-end audit process is still ongoing, and the library is under review. Library Board Chairman J. Randolph. Colahan said after Elisabeth Martin’s presentation in July and continuing into this fall and likely winter, the evaluation process for spacing and design changes continues. “We don’t have the costs, we are looking into costs and we’re still a long way away. We had hoped to get outside funding (for the redesign/layout project). We don’t know where the costs are coming from and we have not made steps forward on it. We are also looking into the cost of doing the project piecemeal, and

whether we would agree on doing each step or not. Those are all questions that still have to be answered,” Colahan said. He added that priorities are in order, and Colahan and Paulo had just discussed the use of fans in the library as this week was warm and the library “is not perfect.” A discussion at the GCPL Board’s August 8 meeting highlighted issues with the HVAC and the elevator project, which was slated to begin on August 2 but had its start date pushed back to August 15. As reported in The Garden City News in mid-August, air conditioning at Garden City’s library “was not and is not producing any cool air going through the vents as one library trustee stated at the meeting August 8 while loosening his shirt collar. Others fanned themselves in the firstfloor administration room as the closed quarters and August weather accentuated the A/C problem.” In August, Paulo reported to the GCPL Board that the village’s engineering contractors came to GCPL, went through the whole HVAC system at the library and advised the village that the cooling tower should have been replaced 20 years ago. At the time she said Village Administrator Suozzi was pricing out compressors as well as looking into an entire new HVAC system at the library. GCPL’s upstairs, main ground floor and downstairs have their own A/C starters and “zones” because, as Paulo pointed out this summer, computer areas need to be kept cooler. On October 17 Library Trustee Murphy advised Delany that there are preliminary cost structures to be explored by the WBG Group, the firm GCPL has contacted for the redesign and spacing project. As considerations move ahead, Delany explained to GCPL board members and the Friends of GCPL representatives that with some of the recent projects taken on by the Village of Garden City, especially “expensive items,” village government tries to break each one down and see if they can be done over a period of years. “Obviously you need to know costs and whether it can be done on a piecemeal basis, or it’s a one-shot deal,” he said. Resident Cyril Smith commented as he witnessed the library carrying a lineup of projects “on the backburner” with heating, air conditioning and a “Library of the Future” concept, the use of interns from Adelphi University or other schools could be an advantage and

a new worthwhile approach, as departments around the village ranging from the Administrator’s office at Village Hall and Parks and Recreation have had help from interns in the last two years. “An intern ought to help with some of these projects as most of them are 80 percent light-lifting and 10 percent clear-thinking or strategic thinking, and the GCPL Board or Lisa Paulo can provide it to the project. An intern can help with grunt work. I believe the Village Board of Trustees wants to see a prepared package from the library as what you’d want to see as GCPL’s future. This will give impetus to prepare a plan the Board of Trustees will eventually be asking you for, as these things boil down to money,” he said. Library Trustee Lola Nouryan asked which programs of study interns could come from because most library science students (who may be from Long Island University’s C.W. Post campus) were not likely dealing with these business tasks and concepts. She suggested engineering students and others thought of students from a business school, such as Adelphi’s Robert B. Willumstad School of Business where several Village Hall interns were from. But Smith specified that accounting majors were a best bet since each of the projects still have to be proposed with costs and estimates checked into. He told the GCPL Board that evaluating interns is a subject for a future meeting. Trustee Colahan, who is an alumnus of Adelphi’s School of Business, explained that technically all the projects are capital considerations for the village as they own the building. He added that the Board of Trustees most likely understands infrastructure needs at GCPL with the elevator and HVAC as they see it breaking down. “They are also hearing it from the village Department of Public Works which comes to GCPL and is recommending repairs and replacements. With the facilities plan (redesign and spacing) we may need help but we are so far away from that, funding and so forth, and we have not decided what we want to do.,” Colahan said. Smith answered that the time has come for more proactive steps. “Just this library board giving instructions eventually to an intern would help this board focus on what you see as the vision for GCPL,” he said.

GCAA Travel Baseball Tryouts

In 2017, the GCAA will be sponsoring travel baseball teams in the U8, U9 and U10 age groups. On the afternoon of Sunday, November 13 the GCAA will be holding tryouts for the 2017 U9 and U10 teams. Tryouts for the U8 team, will take place in late February or early March 2017. To be eligible to tryout, a child must live or attend school in Garden City and meet the following age requirements: U8 team (tryout in Feb or March 2017) : Players born between 9/1/2008 and 8/31/2009. Players born between 9/1/2009 and 11/30/2009 who are currently in second grade are also eligible. U9 team (tryout on November 13, 2016): Players born between 9/1/2007 and 8/31/2008. Players born between 9/1/2008 and 11/30/2008 who are currently in third grade are also eligible. U10 team (tryout on November 13, 2016): Players born between 9/1/2006 and 8/31/2007. Players born between 9/1/2007 and 11/30/2007 who are currently in fourth grade are also eligible. Players born after November 30, 2009 are not eligible to participate in the GCAA travel baseball program in 2016. Similarly, since the GCAA does not sponsor any travel baseball teams for ages U11 and older, players born prior to September 1, 2006 are also not eligible to tryout for a GCAA travel team. The U9 and U10 teams that are selected in November will begin winter workouts in January 2016 and will play in the Spring, Summer and Fall of 2016. Players must be willing to play baseball on a year round basis and be committed to their team. We recognize that participants play other sports and have other activities, and the GCAA encourages that diversity of activity. We understand that players may miss games or practices from time to time because of illness, family events, practices or games for other sports or participation in other activities. We simply ask that

the children and parents recognize that they have made a commitment to their baseball team and that they communicate with their coaches so that the teams are not in a position where other players on the team do not have a good experience because too many players are regularly choosing another activity at the expense of baseball. Please also understand that any child participating in the GCAA travel program must also participate in the GCAA intramural baseball program in the spring of 2017. The intent of the travel baseball program is to provide the opportunity to play more baseball to those who are interested, not to replace our intramural program.

The 8th Annual Keith R. Cerrato Golf Tournament (“The Keith”) was held on Monday, August 22, 2016 at the Cherry Valley Club with 106 caddies from 16 clubs from Long Island, Westchester and Ireland participating. The tournament was established to honor Keith Cerrato who was tragically killed ten years ago. He was a caddie at Cherry Valley for many years and also worked in the bag room and on the range. To honor Keith’s memory Ed Kelly, CVC Golf Pro, created the tournament. “The Keith” is such a unique tournament because the golfers are the

caddies. This year CVC members caddied for the caddies and enjoyed being on the course looking for the balls and reading the greens. This year’s winner was Danny Gehrig from Garden City Golf Club with a 73 and a second place tie of 74 for Roger Fonest, Garden City Golf Club and Kyle Richie, Garden City Country Club. This is the first year that all winners were from our Garden City Clubs. “The Cerrato Family is very grateful to Cherry Valley Club, Ed Kelly, Bill Goldschein, Tournament Director and Gary Fochesto, Master of Ceremonies for their continued support”, said John

Cerrato, Keith’s Dad. The Cerrato Family would also like to thank Patti Horstman and Maureen Corrigan for their tireless work during the day as well and especially to all of our sponsors. A particular thank you to the following event sponsors for their special generosity: Honest Tea, Titleist Golf, Thomas and Barbara Sullivan Foundation, Doscas Family Foundation, Charlie and Denise Strain, John and Ellen Mauk, Brian and Linda Gold, Ed and Pat Groarke, Jason and Gillian Burns and Mary Finneran. All net proceeds are donated to two

BY LOUIS MINUTO The Garden City Thunder 11’s had a tough week, playing two games against two of the top teams in the league. Uniondale Knights and Mineola Chiefs both have the talent and coaching to upset the undefeated Thunder. Happy to report that the GC Thunder 11 prevailed in both games, extending their win streak to an amazing 40 straight victories. First up was Uniondale on Wednesday night under the lights at Walker Park in Hicksville. Jack Archer scored the only GC touchdown with a brilliant serpentine run and the always amazing Aidan Considine pounding in the extra point. In a game as tight as the one vs Uniondale, every single play is important. Every single block was critical. In this game the Thunder Defense was

Thunder offense planning vs Uniondale

the difference as Matt Kephart had two sacks, and Matthew Ragusa notched one as well. Each boy breaking through the Uniondale offensive line. Ryan Krieg, RJ Votruba, Owen Holtzman, Christopher Fuelling, and Tristan Mullahey each had critical stops, holding the high powered Uniondale offense to 6 points. Bryan Boccafola, Brady Noll, Patrick Sullivan and Bryan Freel stopped the Knights on their extra point attempt, which proved to be the difference in the game. GC Thunder beat the Uniondale Knights 7-6, in what had to been one of the best played youth football games the parents had ever seen! On Sunday he boys then played the fired up Mineola Chiefs away at Tully Field. A beautiful day that just got better as the GC boys got to work. Each boy doing their jobs flawlessly per usual. Chip Read, Cody Wehrum, Kevin Blum,

and Justin Koczko holding tough on the offensive line, providing the support for all three of Stevie Finnell’s picturesque touchdowns. Hayden Minuto kicked for two on side GC recoveries, keeping the Mineola Chiefs offense off the field. GArden City controlled the clock and James Vinciguerra, Gabriel Psilakis, Matthew Mehling and Ryan Melendez dominated the Chiefs. Quinn Long recovered a key fumble that sealed the GC Thunder win 19-0. The Garden City Thunder 11 are chasing perfection with a record breaking win streak and a goal of winning their fourth straight NCYFL Championship. After a long road trip the boys will finally come home this weekend. Come out to Stewart Field as the boys take on the Franklin Square Warriors this Sunday at 2pm, GO THUNDER!

Garden City Varsity Football shutouts Long Beach 28-0 Garden City Varsity Football shutouts Long Beach 28-0 The Garden City Trojans played a well balanced game on Saturday vs Long Beach at Warren King Field.. Long Beach came into the game with the leading passer and 3 of the leading recievers in Nassau County,Garden City had its work cut out for them. The game started and the GC Offense got a quick spark from, Sophmore , Trevor Yeboah-Kodies 50 yard TD run to make it 7-0. That was followed by a beautiful 50 yard touchdown reception from Jack Bill to Chris Mixon , making it 14-0. At this point, Long Beach changed pace and went hurry-up offense, they drove down to the 2 foot line and had a First and Goal. The first 3 plays were a TB Dive, QB Sneak and a roll out pass;all were stuffed.. on Fourth and Goal,

with about 2 minutes left in the half, Long Beach tried to power it in with their Tailback, Matt Desimplicis knifed through the line from his linebacker position and drilled the ball carrier as he was crossing the Goal Line,forcing the ball out of his hands where it rolled into the endzone where James Buckley pounced on it for the turnover. GC got the ball on their own 20, a simple handoff to Trevor Kodie turned into an 80 Yard Td jaunt. Long Beach went from potentially being down 7 at the half to down 21-0, a tough hole to dig out against a very stingy GC Defense. The second half scoring was a quick dump pass to Chris Mixon who ran in from inside the 10. This game epitomized Coach John Wooden’s great saying that “ you would be shocked at how far we can get if no one cares who gets the

credit”.The offense scored 28 but had two long touchdown runs,one by Tyler Wuchte and one by Chris Mixon called back due to a penalty. The O Line was paving holes through the LB Defense all day,lead by Seniors Chris Cuircina, Eric Wortmann ,AJ D’angelo,Will Eigl and Junior Mike Liberopoulos. The Quarterbacks, Colin Hart and Jack Bill both directed the offense consistly with Jack Bill tossing the two TD passes. Besides the Goal Line stand to end the first half,the defense also stopped a First and Goal situation from the 3 yard line in the second half. From front to back,the defense was loaded with great hustling,hitting and smarts. The Dee Line ,lead by seniors ;Colin Paskowitz, Dan Salsberg, Brandon Holloway and junior ,James Buckley harassed the QB and with the linebackers ;Matt

Desimplicis ,Andrew Desantis and Matt Flanagan, stopped the run all day. The group that really earned their keep was the Dee Back group.. though the QB did make one incredible throw early on, there was not a receiver to throw the ball to the whole game. The coverage was truly like a blanket,it lead to two interceptions, one by Tyler Wuchte and one by Chris Mixon… the coverage caused the QB to pull the ball down many times and take off running. They also continuously came up on the run with a superb demonstration of tacklin by Phil Puccio and Matt Granville. Once again, last but not least. The special teams connected on all levels.. Extra point , kickoffs and punts along with the snaps on punts were fantastic.

Varsity Soccer wins on Senior Day and clinches playoff spot On a beautiful fall day, the Garden City Varsity Soccer team celebrated Senior Day with a resounding 4-0 shutout of Roslyn! Senior Day is a tradition and a community effort with the Girls Varsity Soccer team making posters for each senior, Madisonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Niche donating Balloons and Ed Rotundo taking photos. The victory clinched a playoff spot for the Trojans! They continued their winning ways by jumping out to a quick 1-0 lead when Sean Coughlin sent a ball towards the box where Kyle Quinn headed the ball to Luke Keating for a nice finish. The Trojans leading scorer Kenny McCadden ( 11 Goals on Season) continued his torrid scoring streak with 2 more first half unassisted goals and JP Trabulsi finished the scoring with a magnificent assist by Finn Gibbons. Ryan Pascale and Alex Spanos completed the shutout in goal with great support from Chris Crowley, Finn Gibbons, Billy Rousakis, John Skahill, Luke Connolly and Joe Bernieri. Offensively, the team continues to build momentum towards the playoffs with Jack McManus returning from an injury and the continued strong midfield play from the Basile Brothers ( JP & James). Hopefully next week we can report on a couple of Playoff Victories! Go Trojans!

“It is the greatest shot of adrenaline to be doing what you have wanted to do so badly. You almost feel like you could fly without the plane.” - Charles Lindbergh Part of Garden City’s history is defined as the cradle of aviation, and Thunder 8s had an inaugural flight plan for the Farmingdale Hawks. Timothy Levelis and Merit Ruckh were the co-captains for this Thunder crew and the coin landed smoothly on heads, giving Thunder the advantage of beginning with their defense. The defensive wrecking crew comprised of Kieran Walsh, James Logler, Conor Fortney, Angelo Cupani, Owen Andersen, Chase Kraus, Will Mattice

and Troy Kakoyiannis kept the Hawks grounded. Matthew Uhoda changed the Hawk’s direction by stripping and recovering the ball close to Thunder’s goal line – thwarting a touchdown! Guards James Delligatti and Thomas Gamba were ready at the gate, but couldn’t hold back the Farmingdale’s defense to allow Merit Ruckh, Gregory Buccella, and James Sullivan to advance to a first down. Throughout the game, first downs were gained by the intense focus of the offensive line to force the Hawks to flutter into off-sides calls. Defensive reinforcements were provided by Chris Dell, Mark Gemmel, and Gabe Cohen. They were the “Boys

of Fall” as they made the Farmingdale team trip over themselves. However, one Hawk flew free and managed to score a touchdown, but the extra point was denied. The offense continued to battle the Hawks. Ryan Haniffy cranked the ball and let it fly down the field into the waiting hands of Garvis Toler. The crowd erupted! The Hawks looked skyward. Then Justin Baiker ran a tight end reverse for the first down. Patrick Corrigan made key blocks, but the drive did not result in a score. However, the completed pass was more than a flight of fancy. Farmingdale managed to score one more time late in the game in spite of

great tackles. However, they never had the satisfaction of earning an extra point and the Thunder defense continued to hold strong with key stops by William Lentini, Patrick Polley, Kevin Brennan, and Mike Griffin. Final score: Garden City – 0 vs. Farmingdale -12. In all, the loss was poignant because Farmingdale is a high-scoring team and Thunder kept them grounded. This Sunday, Thunder plays away against the Floral Park Titans. They look forward to the return of Alex Giuffre and earning a bounce back victory. Thunder Tough!

Will Mattice (16) forces a defensive stop and fumble as Timothy Levelis (55), Merit Ruckh (24) and James Sullivan (18) get ready to recover the loose ball.

Ryan Haniffy (11) drops back to throw as pass while his blindside is protected by Justin Baiker (12), James Delligatti (28) and Thomas Gamba (90).

Garvis Toler (15) pulls in a great catch while fighting off defenders.
