Box lacrosse set for Community Park rink

reached completion stages for a number of security items pertaining to equipment and installations. DiCapua spoke about the large district-wide door lock project as each building now has the benefit of being able to lock classroom doors from the inside. “This originally started as we had classrooms we determined for a teacher to be able to lock the classroom door they would have had to go into the hallways and then lock the door after they shut it. Once we got into that project we took it a step further and worked with

At the Recreation Commission’s October 26 meeting inside the Golf Club Lane Senior Center, Recreation Program Development Supervisor Sandra Young announced that box lacrosse has been approved for the roller rink at Community Park. In late June Carlos Cabana of Twenty Four Lacrosse attended the Commission’s monthly meeting and advocated for his organization’s intended use of the facility, noting the high level of popularity lacrosse in general has in his hometown of Garden City. After Cabana attended the June 29 meeting, Twenty Four Lacrosse played an exhibition game at the rink on Thursday, August 17, and pictures were published in the newspaper on August 25 with a few comments from the organization: “Parents were very happy with the gameplay and the kids really had an awesome time. They asked to continue playing until 6pm so the GC Village Board of Trustees could see the game in action (they were at Community Park for the ribbon cutting for the new turf field). Twenty Four Lacrosse would like to use the rink for practices and is willing to run a box lacrosse league via its league management software hosted on our website 24laxleague.com…The kids who played may have made history. This may be the first game of box lacrosse ever played in Garden City.” On October 26, Young told the five Commission members at the meeting that a $100 per hour fee for the hockey rink was established as the Recreation Department listened to community groups’ proposals to use the facility for other purposes. Young said in addition to box lacrosse, soccer organizations have inquired about using the rink. Also if hockey groups outside the village would want to rent the hockey rink, the $100 per hour rate applies. “The time that they’d be allowed to use it would be after any public use periods that have already established,” Young said. The box lacrosse and schedule would include weekday sessions after school hours (3 pm and later) and evening play. Young says inquiries for facility use in the village this fall have centered on the rink and not yet on the new Multi-Use synthetic turf field at Community Park, which is mainly booked by village-based organizations. Commission member Michael Ryder considered some of the discussion at the June 29 meeting with the box lacrosse request, and he asked about maintenance of the rink and the department’s plans on scheduling. A comment posted with the News’ reporting on the proposal in early July summarized one concern: “When there aren't organized hockey games going on kids play pickup games. It's the ONLY place for hockey in town and was built for hockey.” In an email to The Garden City News on November 1, Village department head of Recreation and Parks Kevin Ocker quelled the

Update on School District security initiatives BY RIKKI N. MASSAND

At its October 11th meeting the Garden City Board of Education heard from school administrators about the investments in security and safety at all school district buildings. The district is creating a comprehensive plan to control and monitor access and activities on school grounds throughout all the schools. School Board President Angela Heineman said the conversation will help the board and administration as it makes assessments about future needs. Dr. Alan Groveman, the

interim superintendent of schools, presented the board with pertinent information, but he did so without “giving away secrets” in a public meeting. Groveman recognized the sensitive nature of putting the board and community at ease while being reticent about specific security information. Assistant Superintendent for Business Dana DiCapua summarized the turning point Garden City Schools has come to with its ramped-up physical plant security measures, and next steps ahead to invest in school buildings’ safety. Dr. Groveman said the district has

A WORD FROM THE PUBLISHER

An abundance of material

We have received an overabundance of material in the last few weeks, in particular from sports teams. We’re always happy to print your photos and articles, but please try to get your material in before our deadline of Wednesday at noon (even earlier would be better). Several people this week sent items on Wednesday evening and were disappointed that we could not accommodate them. Also, please pare down your photo submissions to no more than five or six per article, except for special occasions. We have a large backlog of material this week but we promise that we will eventually get to everyone, even if it means running extra pages over the next few weeks.

On a less persnickety note, we are happy to announce the imminent redesign of our web site, www.gcnews.com. We expect the new website to launch next week, for the November 11th issue once our site manager’s engineers convert our 13 year archive to the new format. The prototype for the new web site is much cleaner and easier to read than our current version, and will enable new features like being able to send out a weekly email newsletter and to host galleries of photos beyond what we already print. There are other possibilities for future features, such as including video, which we will be exploring over the next few months.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Email: Editor@GCNews.com

Parents responsible for bullying too

To the Editor: My thoughts and prayers are with Liam and his family. Unfortunately, this story is not surprising. Over the summer, I witnessed packs of middle school aged boys running wild through the pool facility. They were dropped off by their parents, who see the pool as a free babysitting service. When my wife told a group of boys who were harassing us in the tennis facility to stop, one turned to her and said, “F—You!” Recently, a group of boys were walking down my street on the way home from school and shouting obscenities as they walked. A woman going to her car told them that their mothers would not approve of their behavior. Another “F you.” to her face. While these incidents do not rise to the level on what Liam was subjected to, they demonstrate a culture among many youngsters in GC that shows no respect for others and an arrogance that makes them think they can do and say anything they want without consequences. While the school district may be liable for failure to supervise these kids on school property, what liability will the parents of the bullies face? As we see with sexual harassment and the Harvey Weinstein case, it is time to name names. The only real way to stop this behavior is for those who commit it to fear being called out for it and having to face public shame and legal consequences. I hope I see the names of those who tormented Liam published in this paper soon. M.P Ryan

Time for a change

To the Editor: It is well past time for a change. Republican- run Nassau County, the wealthiest county in New York, has suffered from multiple financial insults, and that has to stop. There are many reasons for Nassau’s ongoing financial problems, but the one most difficult to swallow, and in our con-

trol to prevent, is the cost of corruption. No-show jobs, sweet heart contracts to cronies, and mismanagement are all paid for with our tax dollars. There is no excuse to allow that to continue. We can stop it by removing the Republicans from running Nassau County. Laura Curran, Democratic candidate for County Executive, will end the corruption tax and examine the Nassau County budget, line by line, to make sure Nassau residents aren’t paying to pad someone else’s lifestyle or support political patronage or other indictable offenses. Republican Jack Martins also claims to be against corruption, yet he stood by Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos when he was indicted on corruption charges. His ridiculous and attenuated charges that Curran is somehow tied to Mayor de Blasio is simply a cynical smear tactic: de Blasio is not Curran’s political partner, but Martins and Skelos were political associates; de Blasio was never indicted or arrested, unlike the indicted, arrested and convicted Skelos. Maybe Martins hopes he will distract voters or they will be too uninformed to realize where the real tie to corruption existed. The less than honest campaign tactics found in his mailings, using overblown rhetoric to create false and misleading connections between Curran and other politicians and groups, are intended to scare voters about Curran rather than address his own ties to corrupt politicians. These tactics prove to me Martins is less than forthright. If he cannot campaign honestly, how can he govern honestly? We deserve an honest change. I will vote for Laura Curran on November 7. Laura Bauer

Elect an expert

To the Editor: I have served in the Legislature with Laura Curran for almost 4 years. It is troubling to see that she still continues to attack Jack Martins for things that should not be attributable to him. See page 28

‘Record’ success: Third spin at Cluett Hall for Vinyl Revolution Record Show BY RIKKI N. MASSAND

The Vinyl Revolution Record Show returns Garden City for another daylong celebration of music, its many different genres and memorabilia at Cluett Hall on the St. Paul’s campus, 295 Stewart Avenue on Sunday, November 5 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is $4, and early access to the show from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. is $7 per shopper. The show’s selection of Cluett Hall for a third time in the past 13 months amplifies its success and ‘labels’ the village as a new destination for record, CD, and overall music enthusiasts. Its prime Garden City location with free parking, or a short and picturesque walk from LIRR stations in the village, has drawn vendors and people offering and/or looking for specific music collections they can’t find in most locations in the country. On November 5, sixty dealer tables will be set up by vendors from all over the East Coast, presenting thousands of rare and collectible vinyl records for sale to attendees. Attendees will be entered to win door prizes throughout the day and a complimentary raffle ticket is included with price of admission. All children under 10 years old are free and families are welcomed. For the November show the special guest will be Sal Maida, acclaimed bass player and member of two of the

1970s groundbreaking rock bands, Roxy Music and Sparks, as well as the New York glam/power pop impresarios Milk ‘N’ Cookies. Maida is the author of a new book, “Four Strings, Phony Proof, and 300 45s” by HoZac Books. Starting at noon on November 5, Maida will be at the Garden City show for autograph and pictures. The 180-page autobiography chronicles Maida’s adventures in rock and on tour, starting with a foreword by guitarist, writer and composer Lenny Kaye and including previously unpublished photographs, including meeting Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Mick Jagger in 1969. The Vinyl Revolution Record Show promoters and organizers Mike Schutzman and Randy Gregg both live on Long Island. For 26 years Mike Schutzman owned Slipped Disc Records on Rockaway Avenue in Valley Stream, regarded as a legendary music store destination, so he previously had business insurance. Slipped Disc first opened its doors on March 1, 1982 and finally closed in April of 2008, cited as “another victim of online music downloading.” Randy Gregg was manager at Slipped Disc for its last 10 years. Gregg, an accomplished musician who’s toured with rock groups in Europe and across the U.S., says that the new biannual Record Show in the village takes ‘another spin’ from the

“Hearing aids and good hearing (are) not the same. A hearing aid is one-third product and two-thirds process…The reason for my success rests in these patients’ recognition of the continuing, longterm professional care component that I apply on their behalf.” Dr. Sullivan in Wall Street Journal: January 19, 2017

position the promoters were in last fall with a September show at their main Queens venue, the Bohemian Hall and Beer Garden on 24th Avenue in Astoria, preceding the first Garden City event. A year ago Gregg told The Garden City News trying a new show at Cluett Hall in mid-October 2016 was set to “build off momentum” from the Queens event. In 2017, that scenario has become formula. Gregg explains the Bohemian Hall and Beer Garden show was held on October 1, with Garden City four weeks later. The decision for holding the show here in 2018 is ‘no longer if but when,’ and organizers are targeting a date in April, possibly on Sunday, April 8, one week after Easter Sunday. Both Gregg and Kevin Ocker, village department head of Recreation and Parks and chairman of the Board of Commissioners of Recreation and Cultural Affairs, told the News in August 2016, ahead of the inaugural Garden City and Cluett Hall Show last fall, that they hoped the village becomes the regular host venue of the Vinyl Revolution Record Show. That relationship is now established and thriving. Last week Ocker offered the following comments for the News about the Vinyl Revolution Show. “We are very pleased with our partnership with the organizers of the Record Show. This event allows the department to offer another ‘cultur-

al’ opportunity for our residents and guests. We encourage everyone to attend,” he said. Cluett Hall as a top Long Island Destination Venue The show that debuted in Garden City in 2016 was planned after several events at the Bohemian Hall in Astoria and a previous Nassau County show, held March 1, 2015 at the NYCB Theater at Westbury. That 2015 show was not an entirely positive first foray on Long Island, but after the experiences there it works out for the best in the Village of Garden City. With three shows and counting, Cluett Hall is Vinyl Revolution’s new and distinct home site to draw from Nassau and Suffolk Counties and New York City’s tristate region. With the second show, two years and four days after Gregg and Schultzman’s NYCB Theater show, a better Long Island location and a refurbished Cluett Hall was showcased for the many vendors and attendees on March 5, 2017. “Cluett Hall is an incredible setting and the village redid the floors and lighting; at the March 5 show the new floors were in. We’ve tried other places on Long Island and Cluett Hall works like the home of the Vinyl Revolution Record Show. For us it is definitely an ideal location. It has the perfect room and perfect size venue – everySee page 27

Council for Unity returns to Garden City Hotel BY RIKKI MASSAND For the second straight year The Council for Unity, based in New York City, celebrates its annual ‘’Champions for Children Gala’’ on Thursday, November 9 at the iconic Garden City Hotel on 7th Street beginning at 6 p.m. The event has transitioned into a title “Recognizing Long Island Heroes.” With the event having shifted to Garden City in December, 2016, presenting awards and recognitions to Long Island public figures sparked the Council’s initiative to find the ideal Nassau County venue. The first and only choice is the grandeur of The Garden City Hotel, says Chairperson Maria P. Glorioso. She is a member of Council for Unity’s board of directors and a psychologist and a patient care representative for NuHealth. The Council for Unity event last December 7 was the first time in the 40-year history of the organization the event was held outside of Manhattan. This year’s recipients for the Champions for Children Awards are headlined by Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas, who will receive the Theodore Roosevelt

Humanitarian Award. Vincent De Marco, Sheriff of Suffolk County Correctional Facility, and Dr. James Li, prominent physician and Council for Unity alumnus, will both receive the Champions for Children Award. After three terms as sheriff in Suffolk De Marco is not seeking a fourth term this November. Jodi Goldberg, Reporter from Fox 5 News will be the Mistress of Ceremony for the November 9 event. The cocktail reception will start at 6 p.m. followed by dinner at 7pm. To RSVP to The Champions for Children’s Gala, please contact Adele Gainey at againey@councilforunity.org or Yvonne Prescod at yprescod@councilforunity.org or call the office directly at 718-333-7270. Last year at its first Nassau County evening gala, Council for Unity honored Jerry Laricchiuta, the outspoken president of the CSEA Nassau Local 830 union, which represents nearly 10,000 people who work for Nassau County. The union has nearly 7,000 members in county positions and 3,400 from Nassau Health Care Corporation, abbreviated NuHealth. Laricchiuta was honored with the Theodore Roosevelt Award. See page 27

The GCHS Marching Band , Varsity and JV Cheerleaders, and Kickline all joined together on the field to honor one of their own. With a strong sense of school unity, the groups worked on a very special half-time event – to honor Bobby Menges the best way they could, by coming together as one. Bobby, through his many gifts, brought a lot of people together, so the students did that for him and his family, at half-time last Saturday. The Garden City High School Marching Band director Mr. Daniel DellaMonica, and band members, both past and present, coordinated a memorial with Kickline and Cheerleading, and, on solemn bended knee, presented Bobby’s family with his Marching Band uniform Shako (the uniform hat) which was signed by GCMB alumni and present members who knew and loved Bobby. The Shako idea was from Brittany Costa, a GCMB alumni, who was Drum Major in the 2015

season. Kickline Coach Samantha Samuel, choreographed the Kickline and Cheerleader placement on the field and suggested both groups wear the tri-colored ribbons and be a part of the dedication ceremony. Patrick Neary Assistant Director of GCHS Marching Band and Coordinator of Color Guard created the design for the tri-colored ribbons. Dr.Kathleen Acer, President of the Garden City High School Marching Band, wrote the tribute that was read at the ceremony. It was a bittersweet moment, different groups coming together and celebrating a shining star in our community, but feeling his loss so deeply. The GCHS Marching Band also did things differently this year by inviting their younger colleagues, the Middle School Marching Band, and Dr. Nina Prasso, Music/Fine Arts Curriculum Coordinator, to join them after the parade, in a delicious lunch provided by Marching Band Parent’s Association.

Over Dominick’s chicken, Pastitsio, Meatball heroes, and an array of hot dishes, the older members laughed, talked and joined in a well-deserved post parade lunch with their young colleagues. Dr. Acer, said “I don’t think this has been done before, but our band is really about coming together and this was our idea to build a stronger connection between the students”. The full tribute that was announced at the ceremony is below: “The Garden City High School Marching Band, Kickline and Varsity Cheerleaders would like to dedicate this halftime show to the memory and enduring spirit of Bobby Menges.His joyful and generous nature touched and inspired all those who knew him. He

was truly a bright light and an amazing person who will always be remembered. Bobby was a musician, an athlete, a scholar and a leader. He tirelessly volunteered and ran fundraisers to benefit the causes he believed in. He represented the best and brightest in all of us. Garden City is proud to be his hometown and Garden City High School is honored to call him an alumni. The Garden City High School Marching Band’s past and current members would like to present Bobby’s family with a token of our gratitude and symbol of our love of Bobby. We would like to thank his family for sharing his light with us. Bobby’s laughter, love of life and all things fun and especially his megawatt grin are always with us.”

This event will honor all Garden City veterans including those who were killed during our nation’s wars. Please join us to remember and honor our veterans. Everyone is welcome.

Students at Garden City High School will be presenting the musical comedy The 25th Annual Putnum County Spelling Bee on November 16th, 17th, and 18th. The show features a cocky “incumbent,” a homeschooled hippie, a politically aware pupil, an overachiever, a hopeful winner, and a book nerd entered into a spelling bee. That is a recipe for one thing: pandemonium! Hosted by an overly reminiscing former champion and her unprofessional, abrasive sidekick, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee tells the stories of six students’ troubles as they compete

for first place. With every word spelled, each student learns something new about themselves—like never underestimating him/herself or that being the best at everything doesn’t make you a winner. Come join Chip, Leaf, Logianne, Barfee, Marcy, and Olive to find out who wins. There will be a performance on November 16th at 4 p.m. and November 17th and 18th at 7 p.m. Tickets can be purchases online (http://our.show/gardencity/spellingbee) or the door; Prices are $12 (General Admission) and $10 (Students/Senior Citizens). For further questions, please contact (516) 478-2531.

GCHS Class of ’02 Reunion The Garden City High School Class of 2002 will be holding its 15th reunion on November 25th at Walk Street, 176 7th Street in Garden City. The event will run from 8pm until midnight. Visit the reunion’s page on Facebook by searching for “GCHS 2002 15 Year Reunion” for more details and to RSVP.

THE VILLAGE SEEKS RESIDENTS FOR COMMISSIONS AND BOARDS

Friday, November 3, 2017 The Garden City News

GARDEN CITY UPDATE - NEWS AND INFORMATION Mayor@gardencityny.net As previously announced, the Board of Trustees and the Village Staff have embarked on new methods and procedures to communicate with members of our community, including our residents, commercial tenants and landlords, visitors, friends at Adelphi and local merchants. We are no longer publishing the “Mayor’s Column.” This weekly column is intended to advise our residents and community of matters that our Board of Trustees and Departments are working on, events and other important information. And of course, please visit our website for additional information: www. gardencityny.net. We are constantly updating and making changes to the website in order to keep it relevant and provide new information. We also encourage you to attend Village Board of Trustees meetings. See the schedule of meetings on our website. Our next meeting is November 16, 2017.

GC Police request information

Over the past several months the Garden City Police Department has received numerous reports of deceased cats found between Stewart Avenue and North Avenue and Kensington Road and Brixton Road. Forensic analysis of some of the

deceased cats found that the cause was due to the cats being shot with a small caliber bullet. The Garden City Detective Division is asking for your help in obtaining any information that may lead to the person(s) responsible. This would include hearing any sound that would appear to be a gun shot or anything that would assist in this investigation. Anyone who has any information is asked to contact the Garden City Detective Division at 465-4150. All callers will remain anonymous. Thank you for your cooperation and assistance.

Adaptive swings at all neighborhood parks

Last week, Department of Recreation and Parks crews installed adaptive swing seats at all of the Village’s neighborhood parks. Resident Tara McCarton, on behalf of her special needs daughter, Audrey, requested the swings for Edgemere Park. Audrey, who was diagnosed with microcephaly and a CASK gene mutation, is non-verbal and just started walking at two-and-a-half years old. Audrey, who will turn 5 in December, has gotten too big for the

park’s baby swings. Kevin Ocker, chairman of the Board of Commissioners of Cultural and Recreational Affairs, acted immediately and ordered the swings not only for Edgemere but all the neighborhood parks. To further cater to Garden City’s special needs community, the Department of Recreation and Parks began offering a series of events and activities geared toward special needs adults, ages 18 and up. A Mini Golf Social was held at Garden City Community Park in October and future offerings will include exercise programs, arts and crafts, and other social events. For further information, visit the Recreation and Parks’ website at www.gardencityrecreation. org or call Sandy Young at 465-4076. To read more about Audrey’s journey, visit www.audreymccarton.com.

Financial Systems Update

The Finance Department is working with the Building Department, in conjunction with Total Technology Solutions in searching for replacement of the Village’s Legacy systems. As previously announced, the Finance Department began Phase One of three long-term projects to update and improve the financial systems. This Phase includes replacing the existing Tax Billing and Assessments System and ensuring that information is linked with the Building Department system. Village Treasurer Irene Woo noted she and Building Superintendent Ausberto Huertas, Jr. narrowed down the field to one particular vendor and are currently in talks. Village officials will be reaching out to other towns and villages to see how satisfied they are with the vendor. “As you know this is a costly undertaking so we want to make sure that we’re doing our due diligence in selecting the vendor,” Ms. Woo said. More information will follow at future Board meetings.

Scoreboards

We are in the preliminary stages of securing professional engineering services to prepare technical specifications, including electrical needs, footings and steel uprights and scoreboards. We will be proposing that Cameron Engineering be retained to prepare these specifications for scoreboards to be installed to accommodate games on the multi-purpose field, and Fields 3 and 4 in Community Park. As these projects were built under the Nassau County Requirements contract, scoreboards were not previously included in the base bids since they were not offered in the contract. Pending the results of a public competitive bid the Department will recommend award to the Board of

Trustees.

Proposed Parking Study

As previously announced, the Village has asked the Village Planning Commission to assist it with such considerations. Among the many items being considered are potential changes or modifications to parking lots, planting beds, sidewalk materials, irrigation, tree boxes and lighting. A meeting of the Planning Commission was held last week and the Planning Commission recommended retaining a parking expert as an initial step. The consultant expects to expand upon similar services it provided to the Village in 2016. As discussed at the Planning Commission meeting, the types of usages in our commercial buildings have changed over time and combined with more restaurants, food establishments and medical offices in the Village, the pressures and needs in our parking lots need to be re-visited. At its October 19, 2017 Board meeting, Trustees retained BFJ Planning to provide a parking study for downtown Garden City and the New Hyde Park Road commercial areas, particularly Parking Fields 7S and 7N.

Change your clocks, change your batteries

The Garden City Volunteer Fire Department is reminding everyone to change the batteries in smoke alarms when you set clocks back on Sunday. In conjunction with the public education program - “Change Your Clocks, Change Your Batteries” - citizens are encouraged to change the batteries in their smoke alarms at least twice a year - at the beginning and end of daylight saving time. Beginning on Sunday at 2 a.m., daylight saving time will end, the clocks will return to standard time and it’ll appear the sun is setting an hour earlier. That means you should set your clocks back one hour when you go to bed Saturday night. In addition, we remind you to: • Ensure that smoke alarms are properly placed • Test your alarm monthly • Consider switching to a smoke alarm that has a non-removable 10-year lithium battery • Replace your smoke alarm every 10 years (or according to manufacturer’s specifications) • Develop an escape plan and practice the plan with your family

Two-thirds of home fire deaths result from fires in homes without a working smoke alarm, according to the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA). Your Garden City professional fire fighters remind you to not only change your clocks for Daylight Saving Time but the check your smoke alarms, too. “Saving your life can be as simple as checking your smoke alarms,” says TJ Michon, President of the Garden City Professional Fire Fighters Association. Special smoke alarms are even available for those who are deaf or hearing-impaired. The NFPA reports that working smoke alarms cut the risk of dying in a home fire in half. Research has also demonstrated that photoelectric smoke alarms are more effective at warning people of smoke from smoldering fires. Ionization smoke alarms are quicker to inform about flaming fires. With earlier warning, people have more time to escape a burning structure and call to

9-1-1. Your local fire fighters recommend installing a “combination” (photoelectric and ionization) smoke alarm in every bedroom, outside of every bedroom and on each floor of your home. “You should also install carbon monoxide alarms in your home and check them once a month,” says TJ Michon. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless poisonous gas that causes death. Carbon monoxide alarms are designed to alarm before potentially life-threatening levels of carbon monoxide are released. More than 2,300 people die each year in home fires. Having a smoke alarm and carbon monoxide alarm that works 24 hours a day greatly increases your chance of survival if your home catches on fire. In the case of an emergency, please call 9-1-1 for the help of your local fire fighters.

GC kids help fight Duchene’s Disease

For the past 3 years, dozens of young boys and girls have met at Stratford School early Saturday morning to participate in a baseball clinic organized by a bunch of their parents. They started with 10 kids and now get as many as 40. The kids range in age from 3 to 8 and they have improved dramatically over the years. But they’re not just learning about baseball. At their final clinic last year and again this past Saturday, October 28, 2017, they joined their parents for the Team Joseph Workout. Team Joseph is an organization founded by Marissa Pernod whose son Joseph was diagnosed with Duchene’s disease when he was 5 year’s old. Duchene’s is a horrible disease which robs kids of their muscle function and mobility. Joseph recently lost the ability to walk and without a cure, things will only get worse for Joseph and every other child with Duchene’s. Recognizing how lucky and blessed they are to be able to play baseball each week, the GC kids decided to raise money to help fight Duchene’s. They enlisted their coaches, siblings, parents and friends and did a series of 10 different exercises. First, the kids did an exercise for 30 seconds with encouragement from the parents, and then the

parents tried to do the exercise with encouragement from the kids. The 10 exercises spelled out “Team Joseph” Two Hand Pushups Excellent Burpees Air Squats Mountain Climbers Jumping Jacks One Arm Pushups Shuffles Elevated Pushups Pullups Honey Bear Crawls Many of the kids cracked open their piggy banks to donate and others dug through their secret stashes of crumbled dollar bills and one even arrived with 4 singles and 4 quarters in a zip lock bag. With help from their parents and friends and a matching donation of $10,000 by a former teammate of one of the coaches, this year the kids have already raised nearly $21,000! If you would like to donate or want more information on Duchene’s and Team Joseph, please go to www. TeamJoseph.org

Garden City parents and residents poured into the Garden City High School auditorium on a rainy Tuesday night to listen to Jessica Lahey, best-selling author of The Gift of Failure and contributing writer for The Atlantic and The New York Times. During the hour and half presentation, she shared some practical parenting advice. The auditorium quietly received the news that we as parents are failing to let our children fail - all in the “name of love for our kids.” Although our intentions are good, by not allowing our children to make mistakes, feel uncomfortable, be frustrated and yes sometimes fail, we derail how they learn and feel about themselves. “A child needs to feel a level of frustration to feel a sense of accomplishment,” writes Jessica Lahey in her book The Gift of Failure. Through her humor and wit, she provided the audience a peek into her own personal struggles both as a teacher and as a mom raising two sons. She talked about the impact in her classroom as a middle and high school teacher when students and parents defined success by the final grade. Rewards become the goal, rather than the effort to achieve the goal. She quoted extensive research to provide the audience a clear understanding of how the brain works and the point in which understanding and true learning occur. To achieve true learning children must have autonomy, competency, and connection. Ms. Lahey shared how small shifts in how we parent can make a big impact to our child’s development and help us raise intrinsically motivated children through their own achievements. Ms. Lahey was extremely generous with her time, presenting to students in grades 6-12, teachers and parents over a two day period. She asked the students if they felt pressure to get good grades, and if they felt more loved when they did. Many students agreed. Students were encouraged to email her and share their thoughts so that she could share

Watch Repair

their feelings anonymously with parents that evening. Ms. Lahey received several emails from children expressing how they feel pressure to be perfect in school, on the field, with friends and their families. She told parents “If a child comes home with an “A,” it’s put on the fridge, posted on Facebook, and Facetimed with grandma. But a “B-” is the new “F” and the grade is ignored.” This gave interesting food for thought. The audience laughed as Ms. Lahey provided us some food for thought. Are we prioritizing certain achievements to prove to ourselves we are successful parents while missing the ones that are best for our kids? She also presented to the district teachers and staff in an afterschool professional development workshop. She shared with the staff her passion for providing real life connections to learning when teaching that inspire a lifelong love of learning in students. Her message was also well-received by school administrators. According to Dr. Ted Cannone, “By sponsoring Jessica Lahey’s talks with students, faculty, and parents, the Garden City PTA helped to open an important dialogue on a topic that is on the minds of nearly every parent and educator: “How do I know when my ‘helping hand’ might actually make things more difficult for my child to develop a sense of personal agency?” Ms. Lahey’s work has sparked a number of conversations that will help us take an even better look at the unintended consequences of trying to smooth out the rough spots in life’s road.” The books were flying off the tables in the GCHS lobby after the presentation, as Ms. Lahey made herself available to sign copies. She advises parents to be patient, and trust in their kids as they are writing their own stories. If you missed this presentation, we hope you pick up a copy of “The Gift of Failure” and take the opportunity to reflect on her message. It’s a powerful one.

Mandatory back flow tests for lawn irrigation systems For anyone who has not responded to prior notice for mandatory backflow testing, the deadline letters will be mailed November 3, 2017. You have 20 days business to comply with the letter or a fine of $1,500 will be assessed. This is the final notice. The Nassau County Health Department has mandated all devices must be tested annually and has designated the Water Purveyor (Village of

Garden City) responsible for enforcement. The Health Department considers all untested devices a hazardous threat to the water supply. As such, they have given the authority to the Village to shut off water services to residences that do not conform. In addition, the Village risks incurring a Nassau County Health Department fine which would be passed on to the residences.

Adelphi president to speak at Rotary

The Russia Investigations BY BOB MORGAN, JR. I haven’t spent that much time lately discussing the twists and turns of the many Russian investigations, but I suppose it’s a timely topic in light of the indictments obtained by Robert Mueller against Paul Manafort, President Trump’s former campaign manager and Mr. Manafort’s associate, Richard W. Gates, as well as a guilty plea entered by a former Trump campaign staffer, George Papadopoulos. While the appointment of an operator like Mr. Manafort as a senior campaign official does not seem particularly consistent with Mr. Trump’s pledge to “drain the swamp”, it is hard to see from the indictment how Mr. Manafort’s indictment, or that of Mr. Gates, advance the narrative that the Trump campaign was colluding with Russian operatives to subvert the 2016 presidential election. Basically, the indictment claims that Mr. Manafort and Mr. Gates concealed a great amount of foreign revenue received in connection with activities for the Ukrainian government and avoided federal attempts to collect taxes and obtain information about their activities. Mr. Manafort and Mr. Gates allegedly channeled about $75 million through offshore accounts and laundered more than $18 million to promote “specified unlawful activities”, apparently a reference to acting as an unregistered foreign agent . The indictment alleges the use of foreign bank accounts to purchase real estate in the United States, and the placement of mortgages on the property to gain access to tax-free cash. It also claims failure to file reports of foreign bank and financial accounts and a failure to register and making false statements in connection with register as an agent of the government of Ukraine. As former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy points out, a number of these charges (particularly involving money laundering) will likely be difficult to prove because of a lack of specific intent or involve matters rarely prosecuted like failure to register. But more relevantly from a political perspective, most of the money involved was made before the 2016 election, between 2006 and 2014. None of the allega-

tions involve collusion with Russia or have anything to do with Donald Trump. I suppose it is possible that Mr. Manafort and Mr. Gates have evidence of collusion that they could trade for lenient treatment by Mr. Mueller, but this is certainly not apparent from the indictment documents. Somewhat murkier is the guilty plea by Mr. Papadopoulos. He was a lower level volunteer adviser who spoke with Russian officials about the possibility of improving relations under a Trump administration and apparently was advised that Russia had emails damaging to Hillary Clinton. He unsuccessfully attempted to orchestrate a meeting between Mr. Trump and Vladimir Putin, although at one point he was encouraged by a supervisor to himself attend meetings with Russians. Maybe there is much more to the story, and at least there is some nexus between Mr. Papadopoulos’s activities and Russian interactions with the Trump campaign. At the moment, however, all we seem to have is an ambitious junior staffer with a desire to raise his profile in the campaign and some knowledge of nefarious activities. Obviously, this controversy could go on for a while, but Mr. Trump is probably best advised to avoid dramatic steps like firing Mr. Mueller or issuing blanket pardons, which will simply stoke the fire. Meanwhile, Republicans have their own narrative, involving the revelation that the Hillary Clinton campaign funded in part the so-called “dossier” setting forth dubious information against Mr. Trump from Russian sources, new revelations involving the sale of uranium to the Russians during the Obama administration and inquiries involving Democratic lobbyist Tony Podesta. My overall belief is that the investigations, both Mr. Mueller’s and those in Congress, are overly politicized and most likely to demonstrate that the Russians were trying to sow discord without actual collusion by either campaign I also think that there are many other issues worth our attention. But it looks like the investigations will just have to play out and we will simply have to see what happens.

Community Club visits Federal Court On October 19, the Community Club of Garden City went on a visit to the US Federal Court in Central Islip. This was part of their “Senior Day” program “to develop a greater understanding of the workings of the federal courts and the duties and privileges of US citizenship”. The group was then guided through a new nine story building where different rooms were explained. We then witnessed a Naturalization Ceremony led by Judge Gary Brown. Finally we listened to a panel discussion by “the courthouse family”.: a US

District Judge, a US Attorney, a Federal Defender, a FBI Agent, a Probation Officer a member of the US Marshal Service and a member of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms with a dog trained to find explosives, each one explained their role. This was most interesting and fascinated the audience. The Community Club has a lot of interesting programs and trips,to become a member call the club office on Tues., Wed., or Thurs. between 9:30AM and 12:30PM at 746-0488.

Tom Phelan

Of the four Garden City Hotels built on that site dating back to 1874, it is the second one that is often forgotten. The second hotel was built in 1895 and was designed by Stanford White in a Georgian Revival style complete with a cupola. On September 7, 1899 (four years after opening) the hotel burned to the ground as can be seen in this photo of the front taken on that day. The next day the N.Y. Times headline read “Garden City Hotel In Ruins - Wine Cellar Saved.” No one was hurt and Stanford White quickly designed the third and most famous Garden City Hotel opening in 1901 and torn down in 1973. Today’s fourth Garden City Hotel opened in 1983.

On Wednesday, November 15 at 1:30 p.m. in the GC Casino the Community Club will present a program by noted Irish novelist Tom Phelan. Mr. Phelan will talk about life in rural Ireland in the mid-1900’s and read selections from his latest novel, Lies the Mushroom Pickers Told. A former Catholic priest and retired employee of the Garden City Public Schools, Mr. Phelan grew up on a small farm in Mountmellick, Co. Laois, in the Irish midlands. He was fifty when his well-received first novel, In the Season

of the Daisies, was published by the Lilliput Press in Dublin. Since then, Mr. Phelan has written five other novels: Nailer, The Canal Bridge, Iscariot, Derrycloney, and Lies the Mushroom Pickers Told, and published works in four countries and three languages. He has also had pieces in Newsday, The Irish Echo, The Recorder, and The Journal of the American Irish Historical Society, and has given readings and talks in the U.S., Ireland, England, France, Monaco and Portugal. His most recent novel, Lies the Mushroom Pickers Told, is described by the book review site Shelf Awareness as “a masterful portrait of Irish village life disguised as a murder mystery,” adding “Phelan finds humor and warmth in every poignant moment.” Please join us for an entertaining literary afternoon and discover some great new reads for yourself and your book club. Signed copies of Mr. Phelan’s novels will be available for purchase, and refreshments will be served after the program. The Community Club, established in 1919, offers a wide variety of cultural, educational, creative and philanthropic programs and activities. To learn more about the Community Club and how you may become a member, please call the office at (516) 746-0488 between 9:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday.

From page 6 thing about Cluett Hall is perfect, the parking and of course location. We were really happy with it after our first show (October 2016). When the village’s Recreation Department asked if we would do it again we quickly said ‘yes’ for our spring show. If either of the first two shows did not work we would not come back now to do the third one and next year, a fourth one,” Gregg explained. He adds that Ocker and members of the Recreation Department as well as the Rec. Commission have done a great job in providing the organizers with feedback on the uses of Cluett Hall and the St. Paul’s facility. “One-hundred percent, Kevin and the whole Recreation and Parks staff is spectacular. They have been very helpful and they working hard, trying to attract events and grow the room. Every time people go into Cluett Hall there are takeaways about possibilities for renting the facility. Mike and I have been running record shows at different venues for a while and it was so good to build trust with Garden City Recreation and the way we run things, we are not leaving Cluett Hall with a mess and they know that we know what we’re doing,” Gregg said. The fate of the historic St. Paul’s

School adjacent to Cluett Hall has been in the news recently as in October the Village Board of Trustees approved a $100,000 to hire three prominent Manhattan firms, as they begin preliminary plans to transform the 1880’s structure into a recreation facility holding three to five synthetic turf athletic fields, while keeping main parts of the façade facing Stewart Avenue and Rockaway Avenue. The iconic former St. Paul’s private school structure currently serves as a marker for prospective attendees and vendors for the Vinyl Revolution Record Show. “Everybody knows the Garden City Hotel and then, you say ‘you know the historic building a block east of the Hotel’ and the response is always ‘yes, I know it’ and they understand where Cluett Hall is. The location is a piece of cake, easy to explain, especially it’s in Garden City with all the surrounding highways from the LIE, Meadowbrook, Southern State, Wantagh parkways. Nobody outside of Garden City is so familiar with the terms ‘St. Paul’s complex’ and we stopped advertising it as that, we advertise it as at Cluett Hall. Our show is actually pushing to make Cluett Hall something noticeable on the map of Long Island,” Gregg said. Gregg values Garden City’s historic places such as St. Paul’s and the Cathedral of the Incarnation, yet he

Council for Unity returns to Garden City Hotel

From page 6 Singas served under Garden City resident and current Congresswoman Kathleen Rice in the county’s D.A. office before beginning an interim term prior to her 2015 election. Singas has roots in Queens as a first-generation Greek American as her father opened the legendary Singas Famous Pizza in Elmhurst, before his two daughters went on to become respected in their careers, one doctor and one the district attorney of Nassau County. Ironically the Council for Unity event at The Garden City Hotel comes two years and a few days after Singas gathered here November 3, 2015, awaiting the results of her campaign for District Attorney. In that election race, Singas and her opponent Kate Murray both were lauded for their roles fighting violent crimes against women. Singas graduated from Fordham University School of Law and joined the Queens County district attorney’s office early in her career. There, she rose to the position of domestic violence bureau deputy chief. In 2011, when then-County D.A. Kathleen Rice promoted Singas to serve as chief assistant district attorney, she had the following comments

on Singas: she is an innovative, highly decorated career prosecutor who has handled some of Nassau’s most serious cases involving murder, domestic violence and child abuse.” The Council for Unity operates in Nassau and Suffolk counties, in New York City’s five boroughs and even the metropolitan Buffalo area through a network of schools, community-based organizations, local and regional law enforcement authorities and correctional facilities. Its title for the December gala “Champions for Children” is not to be confused with fundraiser events held in Manhattan including the New York State Association for the Education of Young Children. Glorioso noted the move to a Garden City venue in 2016 as the 501c3 nonprofit Council for Unity recognizes its vast outreach and impacts in Long Island communities. The Council for Unity model is utilized by school systems, communities, law enforcement agencies and correctional facilities to confront and reverse gang recruitment, bullyism, racism and all forms of discrimination that threaten both individuals and institutions.

is supportive of Recreation and Parks facility expansions for the village. “I love old architecture but if that building and the grounds are turned into a working situation then that’s just even better,” he said. During shows and beforehand, as they work through inquiries about items, people, events, songs and genres, Randy Gregg and Mike Schutzman are known as two veteran “musicologists,” able to help music fans and customers in conversations, then by suggesting albums and groups that they might enjoy. Gregg once worked at the Garden City Florist and is familiar with both the layout of the village and the community spirit. In his interview with the News last week, Gregg spoke about the dynamics of the Garden City event and how family-friendly the Vinyl Revolution Record Show proved to be through its first two renditions in the village. He says the November 5 show, for the first time in the 20-plus shows he and Schutzman have hosted and organized, there’s free admission for kids under 10. “Garden City as a destination is successful, and we’re not charging for kids because we are kid-friendly. If a family comes we do not want to deter parents who are going to shop and they bring the kids – we won’t charge families $12 for three people if it’s a mom or dad and

two kids, etc. The interest in records is generally from adults. There has also been lots of interest in our show as the Long Island crowds email us and ask for information about the show more than our longstanding Brooklyn and Queens shows’ crowds put together. Most inquiries are about how people have vinyl and how they can sell at our shows, so we are not only a shopping market. There’s the abundance of interest of Long Island customers who have records to sell,” Gregg said. Franklin/Seventh Street Food Options Encouraged Attendees of the Vinyl Revolution Record Show, with its late morning and afternoon hours, are presented with the menus of local Seventh Street and Garden City eateries, including pizza places located on Franklin Avenue, right at the front of the room. With the first two shows Gregg and Schutzman have built goodwill with local merchants and added to a few otherwise routine Sundays in the village. Details of November 5 and more upcoming shows are available online at VinylRevolutionRecordShow.com. Anyone with questions or suggestions can email organizers Mike Schutzman and Randy Gregg at vinylrevolutionrecordshow@gmail.com or link to the Show’s Facebook page, Facebook.com/ VinylRevolutionRecordShows.

From page 2 It seems to me that Laura Curran is attacking Jack Martins because she doesn’t have any positive issues to run on. Jack has detailed, implementable ideas to restore the public trust, to balance our budget with smart realistic solutions for our broken tax assessment system, to hold the line on property taxes and to advance economic development so as to encourage more people to move here and our young people to stay here. Curran’s repeated claim when asked specific questions is that she’ll hire experts to look into the County’s problems. Yet we have an opportunity to elect an expert for the job of County Executive. That person is Jack Martins. Please cast your vote for him on Tuesday, November 7th. Laura Schaefer Nassau County Legislator, 14th L.D.

An advocate for Villages

Dear Friends & Neighbors, I’m asking you to join me in supporting Jack Martins for Nassau County Executive. Here’s why: As many of you know, I was an active member of the Nassau County Village Officials Association [NCVOA] while serving as Village Trustee from 2005 to 2015, and as your Mayor from 2015-2017. From 2013 - 2017, I was privileged to be a member of the NCVOA Executive Committee. The NCVOA concentrates on protecting the rights of individual Nassau County Villages from those forces in Albany that do not believe in local government control. That’s how I came to know and respect Jack Martins as a superior New York State Senator and true advocate for the rights of Villages. He learned how important this is when he served as Mayor of Mineola, which is when I first met him. Whenever the Nassau County Village Officials Association needed Jack, he was quick to respond to our requests and advocate on our behalf. Jack is very concerned about improving Nassau County’s fiscal position and getting the County out from under the control of the Nassau Interim Finance Authority “NIFA.” Clearly, he understands fiscal prudence: while in Albany, he voted to cut taxes nearly numerous times, including cutting taxes for middle class families to their lowest levels in 60 years. He also supported the NYS Real Property Tax Cap and worked to pass four on-time fiscally responsible State budgets which closed multi-million dollar deficits without raising a single tax or fee. Jack believes that the best way to create jobs is to lower the cost of doing business. He led the fight to repeal the job-killing MTA payroll tax as well lowering tax rates for local businesses. With regard to sound education, he did not just “talk” about reforming

Common Core in New York State, he voted “no” to reappointing incumbent members of the NYS Board of Regents who were responsible for implementing this very flawed plan. He also voted to reform the failed Common Core rollout by placing less emphasis on testing and more on teaching. Jack has fought for women’s pay equality, stronger protections for domestic violence victims and new safeguards to protect pregnant women and mothers from employment discrimination. Jack will also will fight to end NYS pensions for any public officials who are convicted of a crime. Jack’s opponent has a record of raising taxes and says virtually nothing about what she would do as County Executive, except talking about eliminating a “corruption tax” which is nothing more than two “buzz” words. There is no comparison between Jack Martin’s skills, track record, and years of public service experience and Laura Curran’s lack of same. Do we want a County Executive who is a puppet of Albany and uses Bill DeBlasio’s people to steer her campaign? I do not think so. Please vote for Jack Martins as County Executive on Election Day, and urge you friends to do the same. Nicholas P. Episcopia, Mayor, Village of Garden City, NY 2015 -2017

Assisted suicide unthinkable

To the Editor: Next Wednesday, November 8, the Church of St. Joseph will present an informative and compelling presentation on the topic of Assisted Suicide. It will be held at 8 PM in the St. Joseph School Auditorium, 450 Franklin Avenue, Garden City, NY. The guest speaker will be Kathleen M. Gallagher who is the Director of ProLife Activities for the New York State Catholic Conference and the Director of Catholic Action Network. Assisted suicide, heretofore, considered unethical and antithetical to true health care, has been legalized in several states. Sadly, some of our legislators in Albany are now poised to introduce and seek passage of assisted suicide legislation here in New York State. Ms. Gallagher’s timely presentation, “Catholic Considerations for Endof-Life Decision Making”, will expose the dangers of assisted suicide. In a recent publication of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops entitled, “Top Reasons to Oppose Assisted Suicide”, the Bishops point out that, “Some polls indicate that the public is receptive to the general concept of assisted suicide. But the same polls show that when the public learns about the dangers of assisted suicide, especially for those who are poor, elderly, See page 34

The new poles will be approximately the same height as existing poles, have a stronger base and will be placed about two to three feet from the current pole locations. Removing old poles requires action from all utilities that have installed equipment on the pole. To expedite this process, PSEG Long Island will actively coordinate with the cable TV and telephone utilities, as well as local municipalities. Anticipate localized, intentional, short-duration power outages related to this project. All affected customers will be notified in advance of any power outage.

IN MEMORIAM Stephen M. Pfail August 12, 1991 - October 17, 2017

Stephen Michael Pfail passed away suddenly on October 17, 2017, at the age of 26. Stephen was a resident of Garden City until recently when he moved into his Upper East Side apartment in Manhattan. His impact on his family, friends and beloved girlfriend, Kara, did not go unnoticed. Born in Floral Park and raised in Garden City, Stephen had a beautiful childhood filled with love and laughter. His two older brothers, Thomas and Brian, and his younger sister, Erin, look back fondly at his love and charisma. As a student at Chaminade High School (Class of 2009), Stephen found his sense of humor and lust for life. A member of the Chaminade Wrestling team for four years and two years on the Chaminade Lacrosse team, Stephen was a dedicated athlete. He marched at his own bat through the halls of Chaminade. Attending high school with his older brother, Brian, grew them closer than ever before. Stephen and Brian were roommates and best friends. No words can describe the relationship the two of them shared. His oldest brother, Thomas, fondly looks back at the lacrosse catches the two of them shared in the backyard, constantly talking back and forth. As mini-Rangers, the two shared many memories together playing ice hockey at Hubbell’s Pond. The three boys held the Rangers spirit close to their hearts from youth into adulthood. Thomas, Brian and Stephen celebrated a huge Ranger win together at Mustang Harry’s where they met “Dancing Larry.” He had a special place in his heart for his baby sister, Erin. She always sat, with a big bow in her hair, mesmerized

Stephen M. Pfail by whatever came out of his mouth. He was her storyteller. He was her best friend. She is a senior nursing student at the University of Scranton and plans to follow in his footsteps and graduate in May. Stephen attended the University of Scranton (Class of 2013) earning a Bachelor of Science and a Masters in Accountancy. Going out with friends was one of Stephen’s favorite pastimes. Stephen always loved a good party. Parade day was Stephen’s absolute favorite day of the year. “Ain’t no party like a Scranton cuz’ a Scranton party don’t stop. - Michael Scott” - Stephen Pfail. Well.. Stephen proved that to be

true. As a talented guitarist, Stephen was constantly strumming with his college buddies in the band Cucumber Salad. As “the cute bouncer at Cockeyed’s,” Stephen boasted his huge muscles and charmed everyone around him. His college friends saw the light in his heart and embraced his hilarious comic routines. Oh, could he make a group laugh... He found himself at Scranton! The people, the education, the Jesuit values, everything drew Stephen in. The University of Scranton molded Stephen into the beautiful man that he is. He truly found his home in Scranton, Pennsylvania for five incredible years. Stephen’s girlfriend of four years, Kara, was his everything. After catching his eye in February of his graduate school year, Stephen was hooked. Within months of meeting her, Stephen told his mother and sister that Kara was the one for him. He loved her with his heart open and their love will aways carry on. Stephen spent his weekends off from work lounging in his sweatpants watching Netflix at the family summer house in Point Lookout with Kara and the family. His very own paradise. A few years back, Stephen (against the advice of his parents) got a tattoo. Unbeknownst to mom and dad, his tattoo was filled with unconditional love for his family. In Latin, “Mi Familia Omnia, Omnia mi Famila” which translates to “Family is Everything, Everything is Family.” He also has a fighting Irishmen tattoo in memory of his late grandmother. Stephen always had little ways of showing his love. His father, Donald, cherishes his memories coaching Rams lacrosse and working together at Keefe Bruyette and Woods during his college years. Stephen

followed in his father’s footsteps with a Masters in Accountancy with a fond admiration of his father’s success. Stephen worked as a Senior Associate at KPMG and was very dedicated to his work. Donald was so proud of Stephen! Stephen held a special place in his heart for his beautiful and loving mother, Eileen. As the baby of the three boys, Steepen always kept mom on her toes. Even adding a few gray hairs! She always melted at the twinkle in his eyes and his adorable dimples. He grew into a handsome young man who his mom was so proud of and loved dearly. Stephen always took the time to make her smile and laugh whenever he was home. He spent hours on hours talking with mom, both of them forgetting where the time went. Through the struggles the Pfail family has endured, Stephen was the glue that kept it together. A day does not go by that the family does not miss his contagious laugh and sense of humor that filled the household. Stephen touched so many lives in his short time on earth and will continue to look down on us from above. “Last night I saw you in my dreams. Now I can’t wait to go to sleep.” (A quote from his favorite artist, Kanye West) Rest easy Stephen. We will love you forever and always, our beautiful angel.

From page 28 disabled, or without access to good medical care, their views shift against the practice.” The Bishop’s statement, which cites many legal and medical sources, warns, “With new momentum and lots of money, assisted suicide proponents are pursuing an aggressive nationwide campaign to advance their agenda through legislation, ballot measures, litigation, and public advertising, targeting states they see as most susceptible to their message.” Ms. Gallagher will provide a scholarly examination of the movement to legalize assisted suicide in New York State, and will detail why there is great urgency to oppose it. She will also share with the audience the safety and benefits of Health Care Proxies, and the hazards and pitfalls of Living Wills. Ms. Gallagher represents New York State’s Roman Catholic Bishops in presenting the Church’s life-related policy positions to legislators, the media and other external groups statewide. Her articles have been published in state and national magazines, and in religious and secular newspapers. In her 34 years of distinguished service to the Catholic Conference, Ms. Gallagher has been recognized with numerous awards and accolades. You are invited to this very informative evening. Learn about the dangers of assisted suicide and what can be done to oppose its legalization in New York. Come and have your questions answered. Bring your family, friends, and co-workers.

SOCIALLY SPEAKING

Autumn happenings With ATHENA

The members of the Community Club of Garden City and Hempstead were treated to a program by Frank Lazzaro, who spent a number of years working at flower arranging at the White House under four presidents’ wives and he had the photos to prove it. They were all interested in what he had to say and one very lucky lady won a basket of flowers as a door prize. She was very happy and said that she never won anything. Perhaps her luck has turned. I must say that the news in Sunday’s paper was not good. It seems that many of our favorite stores on Fifth Avenue are closing and that includes Lord and Taylor. There was no news that our Lord and Taylor will be closing, but when you think of all the stores we used to have including Saks Fifth Avenue, Martin’s and so many others in the past. Soon we will have just about nothing. There is very little that we can do about it, but when you think of all the stores that are in crowded Roosevelt Field with its also crowded parking, you have to wonder. I am not a fan of the crowded parking and the stores that even there are not what they used to be. Guess we just have to take our chances! Even though things change with time, this is not a good change for Garden City. Believe it or not, the Garden Department of the Community Club of Garden City and Hempstead is planning for their Greens Day. It is a day when they make sprays for all the memorials here in Garden City and the greens are furnished by the Village of Garden City. The day of Greens Day the Village delivers branches to make the sprays for our 9/11 Memorial, the Veteran’s Memorials in town, aw well as basket arrangements for our Village Hall, our Police and Fire Departments, our Recreation Department, the Garden City Library and even a spray for the Blue Star Memorial as well as a few others such as the Memorial at Eisenhower Park. Would you believe it and they finish

in a period of 9 to 12. The sprays are then delivered to their respective places by the ladies and one husband - a veteran - and then all is done. The ladies get a lot of satisfaction out of the work and chat as they work. They really get into the spirit of it all. Many in this group have been doing it since 1964. I think we should have a big hand for the ladies. Do remember to visit the Americana Fair at the Garden City Community Church on Stewart Avenue and Whitehall Blvd. They are well known for the wide variety of items and quite often home baked goodies. Forget about calories think “goodies” a little can go a long way to make your tummy happy. The next thing you can do is to start your Christmas shopping list. The stores are not as crowded as they are if you wait till December. I have found that not only not as crowded but you have a wider selection of things, they have not been handled as much and you do not have to wait for help in your purchasing. I know of folks who shop nearly all year long and pick things up as they see them . Of course, you do have to have ideas as to what those who get the gifts want. But if you start early enough - they probably don’t think you are planning their gift. Try it - you can get to liking it and then you will avoid the crowds. Congratulations to John Kordes and his class on the History of Garden City. If you are a new resident of Garden City you will be happy if you take the course by John Ellis Kordes that begins on November 22nd and you will be happy that you did. He has more information than anyone I know and you will know your town better for taking it. See you next week.

Box lacrosse set for Community Park rink

From page 1 concern and explained that box lacrosse practices started at the very end of October, and games will start at the rink the week of November 6 through 10. He advises that box lacrosse will be played from 7 to 8 p.m. during the week. “We have scheduled this new use of the rink without interfering with scheduled ‘Open Time’ for walk up play. Generally that time is prior to dark, and we do schedule open time on Thursday evenings as well. We are encouraged to have the opportunity to maximize the use of this great recreational asset,” Ocker wrote. Multiple Benefits with Multi-Use Field For the Multi-Use field the Recreation department has decided starting rates (facility fees) of $200 per hour “unlit” while the use of stadium lighting, or the “lighted per hour rate” would be $300. That compares with the estab-

lished rates at the new synthetic turf Community Park baseball field rates, which are $100 per hour unlit and $125 per hour with lighting. Ocker said this is in line with Farmingdale’s facility rates. In Garden City, the St. Paul’s facility field use is $150 per hour. “We can talk about it as we look around at other new facilities in the area, but at $300 for lighting and the Multi-Use field we are at market rates,” Ocker said. Young also explained that if a group other than established village sports league want to rent the MultiUse field anytime, it is a rental based on space available on the current schedule. But Recreation has designated its off-season rates, even if the established village sports groups want to rent the field, then they will need to pay for it.” Based on feedback from village sports leagues, the new Mulit-Use field is a success. Young said the Centennials soccer league had moved back its week-

end schedule at times to allow the children to play under the lights on the new Multi-Use field. Ocker said the GC Thunder football got the entire program to use the field during the year, “without using Stewart Field, as far as we know.” The newest Rec. Commission member Christian Siragusa is a coach with the GC Thunder, and he told Ocker and his colleagues that due to the change in usage of Stewart Field the grass there looks pristine and is growing very nicely. “We did walkthroughs at Stewart on Saturday mornings and all the coaches commented on how beautiful the grass looks,” Siragusa said. Young added that the timing of opening the new Multi-Use field and its use by village organizations opened a new opportunity for Stewart Field to be rented. She said a West Hempstead football organization (the Broncos youth teams)

needed to find a field to play and practice on as their field was being renovated this season by the town. “They have rented Stewart Field from us for two weeks and they moved their games to it and paid us for it so they could host some home games, otherwise they were traveling everywhere. It has worked out for everybody,” she said. Ryder asked about locks used for securing the perimeter of the new MultiUse field and Ocker said in its first few months there had been a couple of “infiltrators” trespassing into the field area by climbing over the fence. The field remains locked each night and the staff monitors field usage constantly. Fees Up for Practices on Village Green Space Another initiative discussed at the October 26 Recreation Commission meeting was increased fees for rentals of recreation green spaces in the village, From page 46

Update on School District security initiatives

From page 1 our architects and vendors to figure we can have the same key lock everything, regardless of the building and classroom. The same inside key locks from every classroom from Hemlock to the High School,” she said. The universal key system was then expanded, and all the school district large instruction areas like gymnasiums also have the capacity to be locked using the same key. DiCapua explains that teachers sharing classrooms or going from one classroom to another would have the same keys to lock each door they operate. The district-wide surveillance camera project covers interior and exterior units at all the schools. After Garden City Public Schools installed an initial set of cameras there were more spaces to consider as well as ‘blind spots’ that parents and staff suggested and asked for. “We are done with all that work but we’re installing some more this fall at the high school. We were originally going to add some at the press box at the football field when we finished the new turf, covering the bleachers, new field area and press box. Then we have another couple to add at Stewart School as well as six more cameras for Garden City Middle School. DiCapua says another investment is a big upgrade to the district public address systems at schools, with the GCUFSD technology department working with the public address vendor on specifications. “This allows from any classroom in our schools someone can do an ‘all-call’ which is used to signal a lockdown. In addition to that they recorded several

different PA announcements depending on the type of lockdown a situation calls for. The school principals recorded the announcements themselves as research says it is very calming for students to hear a familiar voice, not just something mechanical or a generic announcement. All our principals have trained their staff and teachers, and we have uniform systems for ‘code 1, 2 and 3’ and so on,” DiCapua told the school board on October 11. Next she discussed the enhanced card-reader access system at entrances to school facilities. The district worked on the installations over the last several months and DiCapua noted that it is a slow process with work taking place after each school day. “The card reader migrated to databases on our new system, and once that database is up and functional our IT department has to manage that migration, and they will be testing it to run live -- they gave us another couple of weeks as a deadline,” she said. School Board President Angela Heineman asked what was new and improved for the card readers. DiCapua said the old system was at the end of its useful life and replacement parts could not be ordered if a reader was not functioning, and one more security benefit comes into play. “The new card reader system not only is tied into our security and controls, but once the project gets to its next stage, it will allow us to disable the card readers district-wide if and when we have to go into a lockdown – that means literally nobody can go into the buildings during lockdown,” she said. Related to that effort, camera-phones for all the entrances to school buildings were installed. DiCapua explained that

when someone enters a school and they are buzzed in, the camera phone is on and people can be asked for ID. Where necessary, the district installed more than one unit at some entranceways. The school district also surveyed conditions for safety outside buildings and around its various school grounds. It surveyed the outdoor speaker systems at some schools and carried a project for each school to have outdoor speakers, “if we choose to the building principals can make announcements that can be heard outside.” The final part of “the first wave of security initiatives” DiCapua described was a strobe light installation program for large instructional areas to accompany any priority and immediate announcements. The strobes are designed to flash and indicate to students and all others to quiet down and listen to the announcement. “We have set up our announcements, protocol for lockdowns and we secured the rooms and everything else but we had to look at what goes on in our large instructional areas like cafeterias. High School Principal McLaughlin can tell you if the band is practicing in our auditorium, you can have the loudest speakers in the world and you will never be heard,” she told the school board. Garden City Schools received a base price on the strobe system and the one-button card reader disabling system, and contracts could be approved soon. Dr. Groveman spoke about two more initiatives for 2017-2018; Memorandums of Understanding (MOU’s) with the Nassau County Police Department and the Garden City Police Department, as Groveman and the school board lauded the attention of and ongoing col-

laborations with GCPD Commissioner Kenneth Jackson, saying his input ‘has been terrific.’ “With these MOU’s we have created a system that allows police immediate access to the district’s physical and layout plans as well as our security plans. We also authorize the access to our security cameras in the event of a 911 call involving the district. In case anybody would be concerned about a ‘police state’ although I don’t think we are, but just so you know, any time the district permits access to our cameras there is automatic notification in our system. Neither the Nassau County Police nor Garden City Police would be able to maintain any physical record or computer records of what they see on the screens,” he said at the October work session. Board member William Holub asked how the various components of district-wide security correlates to safety of students in buses, inside district transportation. He asked if Garden City Schools evaluated its bus safety protocol along with other initiatives, and also security during on-campuses large gatherings and athletic events with many people at the schools’ grounds. Dr. Groveman replied that the district is confident in safety with radios and security cameras covering the areas Holub asked about, but there are more specific protocols he could share in a school board executive session. Before the meeting ended, Groveman told the board and community members on hand “this doesn’t stop – security is not something you finish. We see all the time unfortunately the incidents in the news and things change. We will not stop and security goes forever.”

GREAT HEART HOSPITALS

Our technologies and leading edge therapies put us at the forefront of surgical, medical, and radiation oncology. And our clinical outcomes are excellent compared to national benchmarks. Everything at the Cancer Institute goes beyond the standard. But when it’s all said and done, our patients say it is the personalized, compassionate care delivered by our highly skilled and experienced board-certified surgeons and their teams that separates us from the rest.

News from the Children’s Room Tree of Thanks

The Children’s Room invites both children and adults to take a leaf and write what they are thankful for and attach it to the Tree of Thanks. The Tree of Thanks will be displayed in the Children’s Room during the month of November. The Librarians in the Children’s Room have many things to be thankful for, including our patrons, picture books, and chocolate!

Thanksgiving

In November our thoughts turn to Thanksgiving, and the winter holidays. Thanksgiving traditions are special in every family and we eagerly await the stuffed turkeys, pumpkin pies, and, of course, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade! The Children’s Room has books on the parade, like The Thanksgiving Day Parade Mystery by Marion M. Markham, Balloons Over Broadway: The True Story of the Puppeteer of Macy’s Parade by Melissa Sweet and Parade! by Tom Shachtman; photographs by Chuck Saaf. There are also many books on Thanksgiving. Learn all about the first Thanksgiving by reading The Pilgrim’s First Thanksgiving by Jessica Gunderson, The First Thanksgiving by Garnet Jackson, or Pete the Cat in the First Thanksgiving by Kimberly and James Dean. Ever wonder how a turkey feels on Thanksgiving Day? Read Turkey Trouble by Wendy Silvano, The Very Stuffed Turkey by Katherine Kenah, and Gus the Pilgrim Turkey by Teresa Bateman. Watching the parade is always a fun

event. Thanksgiving Parade staffers actually start inflating balloons around 1 p.m. on the day before Thanksgiving, so by 3 p.m. when the viewing area opens, there are some balloons that are already in the process of being inflated. If you show up later in the evening, there will be many more balloons to see, but the crowds will be much bigger, too. The real magic of the balloon inflation is watching a balloon come to life. Plan a trip into NYC and watch as the balloons come to life while they’re inflated outside of the American Museum of Natural History.

Box lacrosse set for Community Park rink From page 38 “no lines and no goals, just the grass” primarily for practices. Examples of green spaces used include strips along Rockaway Avenue at St. Paul’s campus northeast corner and another strip near the concessions stand and restrooms, as well as outfields of baseball fields if a game is not booked. Recreation also rents the groups green spaces near the Stewart Manor train station, Tullamore Park and Grove Park. The practice/ training times are finished before games are played on those fields. Young said the rates for these organizations stemmed from a request to Recreation a few years ago about a girls’

lacrosse program. A handful of organizations are renters of village facilities just for practice and training, still requiring permits approved by Recreation. But with the growth and increased participation of those programs, new fees were in line. After speaking with the organization’s leadership, Young learned that the groups charge $160 to $200 per child for a program running six to eight weeks. “With fees to rent an area out in St. Paul’s with just the grass for training and small practices, it was established (by the Rec. Commission) for groups to pay per-day and not per-hour, which was $87.50 a day. The groups could run

three to six hours a day on the field, and we considered a normal training or practice about two hours per group. But most of the groups have grown into major clinics or training camps, some of them are out there holding multiple programs per day, making money with the use of village fields and we are getting a very small portion of that,” Young said. The Rec. Commission voted to approve a fee of $45 per hour for the green spaces at village facilities, and the total for a two hour practice would be $90. Young says the groups will likely be returning for village green space usage in spring 2018, and she will inform them of the increase in fees now.

Thunder 9's buck the Broncos 19- 6

The wind and rushing rain turned the Seaford football field into a ship’s bow on a rollicking sea. Seaford was rollicked, while the Thunder rolled into victory. Thunder co-captains William Lentini, James Logler, and Justin Baiker took the helm and won the coin toss, granting permission for the offense to board. Quarterback Ryan Haniffy confidently made calls and streamlined the team way down the field with punishing blocks by Alex Giuffre, Conor Fortney, and Mike Griffin. James Sullivan, Merit Ruckh, and Will Mattice took turns moving the ball down to the 30-yard line, but a slippery fumble ended the drive. The Broncos had home field advantage and were brazen to believe they had more advantages. They quickly earned 9 yards, but Matt Uhoda, Chase Kraus, and Justin Baiker held the Broncos to no gain on the next two plays. Seaford managed to squeak out a first down but Angelo Cupani and Gabe Cohen made a stop after a short gain. Merit Ruckh then bulldozed a runner in reverse for a loss and Timothy Levelis followed that up with another big tackle, forcing the Broncos to punt on 4th and long. Feeling robbed of their first attempt, Thunder offense was determined to find the end zone. Merit Ruckh carried the ball behind James Logler, Timothy Levelis, and Chris Dell on multiple carries. Running backs James Sullivan, Matt Uhoda, and Will Mattice all did their part to open holes to the end-zone. Finally, Merit Ruckh was able to secure

a block on the outside from Garvis Toler and found the corner of the end-zone for the touchdown. The extra point was good. Garden City - 7, Seaford - 0. The Broncos were raring to go, but the brick wall fell down on them over and over again. A Seaford running back would gain a few yards on one play, but then lose that and some more on the next. Gregory Buccella, Patrick Corrigan, and the Thunder defense were ready for Seaford’s every strategy. Thomas Gamba and Thor Ullrich kept the Seaford offense moving backwards with key plays that forced another punt. The wind and rain reached a comical level during Thunder’s next offensive drive, but Ryan Haniffy and Mike Griffin had in synch QB-Center exchanges all game long in extremely rough conditions. Conor Fortney, Alex Giuffre, and the rest of the Thunder offensive line braved the elements as well and allowed for Garden City to run the clock down to only 40 seconds in the first half before punting the ball back to Seaford. The Broncos would not have the time needed and they were once again stopped by Angelo Cupani, who tackled like a tsunami. The second half began and Chris Dell, Jimmy Barry, and Timothy Levelis kept the Broncos at bay. The Thunder defense appeared refreshed by the pouring down water and drenched any attempts of a Seaford first down. Max Milano and Mark Gemmell kept the pressure on Seaford and they once again punted back to Garden City.

Will Mattice (16) and Merit Ruckh (24) splash down on the Seaford running back as Timothy Levelis (55) and Matt Uhoda (22) prepare for the next wave of attack.

Justin Baiker provided the perfect block to allow Will Mattice to create a wake up the middle. A holding penalty pushed the line of scrimmage back to 2nd and 20, but Thunder was quick to recover. James Logler and James Sullivan opened the hatch for Garvis Toler’s dramatic run down the field, which was extended to the 11-yard line with a knock down stiff arm by Toler. The Broncos rose up to defend their turf deep in the own zone and the Thunder were not able to capitalize on the big play and turned the ball back over to Seaford on downs at their own 3-yard line. The Broncos were wilting in the rain, but held their ground. Thor Ullrich and Chase Kraus made a stop on first down and Matt Uhoda and Marc Gemmell were stingy on second down. Garden City then had their only defensive breakdown all game and allowed a Bronco free on a 98-yard touchdown run. The extra point was denied. Garden City - 7, Seaford - 6. Garden City would answer right back on their next drive. Merit Ruckh went to work on the Seaford defense following the lead of his offensive line. Mike Griffin, James Logler, and Conor Fortney secured the middle while Timothy Levelis and Alex Giuffre opened holes on the outside. The tight end combo of Justin Baiker, Chris Dell, and Garvis Toler sealed the edge. The terrific blocking allowed for Merit Ruckh to once again find the end-zone. This drive was a show of force by the offensive line and it surely made offen-

sive line coach Walsh proud. Garden City – 13, Seaford – 6. Seaford would get their opportunity next, but it was more of the same as Jimmy Barry and Max Milano shut down the Broncos' dreams. Gabe Cohen and Gregory Buccella would force yet another Seaford turnover as Chase Kraus and the relentless Thunder defense would just not let the Broncos offense gain any momentum. The wind appeared to lift the spirits of the Thunder offense to secure the win. Thomas Gamba and Patrick Corrigan powered the offensive line on this drive and allowed for James Sullivan and Will Mattice to chip away at the Seaford defense and eat up yards. Will Mattice broke through the line and sailed into end-zone for another Thunder touchdown. The game would end after one last Seaford try but it was stopped and Garden City had won. Final score: Garden City - 19, Seaford - 6. Injuries to William Lentini and Kieran Walsh prevented them from playing, but they were able to take part in the excitement of the victory with their teammates as well as being absolutely soaked from the rain. The soaked uniforms were more indicative of a water sport, but the smiles behind the dripping helmets said, “football.” Thunder 9's are in the playoffs and their post-season begins on November 12th. This season had extreme elements, so what’s next… snow? Go Thunder!!!

Thomas Gamba (90), Alex Giuffre (74), Mike Griffin (7), and James Sullivan (18) provide the blocking needed for Merit Ruckh (24) to sail off into the end zone on one of his two touchdowns.

Kieran Walsh and William Lentini join their teammates for a soaked victory picture.

Garvis Toler (15) takes the handoff from Ryan Haniffy (11) and follows the lead block of James Sullivan (18) for a big gain.

Congratulations to the Girls Varsity Volleyball team for an exciting comefrom-behind win during their last match before playoffs. After losing the first two sets to a strong Mineola squad, the GC team came back to win the next three sets and the match!

Garden City Girls Varsity Swimming

Seniors Gabriella Meringolo, Cara Heaney, Kalie Yuen, Caity Bianchi, Jessica Pedone, Allyson Kraff, Melody Pompay, Ashley Boccio, and Emily Burns celebrate their Division A Championship win. After finishing the dual meet portion of the season undefeated, the Garden City Girls Varsity Swimming & Diving team set their sights on the Division A Championship which was held at the Nassau County Aquatic Center on Tuesday, October 24th. The girls knew it would take a complete team effort to win the Championship against 9 other area high schools. Scoring in championship format places a large emphasis on relays (48 points for 1st place) vs individual races (24 points for 1st place) and Garden City utilized its depth and versatility to score 138 points out of a possible 144 points in relays. Garden Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s depth was also evident with every eligible swimmer (maximum of 4 swimmers per team per event) scoring in the top 11 in each of the individual events. Garden City was able to win the Division A Championship with 698.5 points compared to the second place finisher Great Neck South with

483 points. At Divisions several swimmers qualified to compete at the New York State High School Championship in Ithaca, New York on November 17-18. Congratulations to sophomore Alana Brown for qualifying to compete at States in the 500 Yard Freestyle and to sophomore Mia Bonvissuto for qualifying to compete at States in the 200 Yard Individual Medley. Meanwhile, the 200 Yard Freestyle Relay Team consisting of senior Melody Pompay, freshman Sophia Boccio, senior Gabriella Meringolo and Sophomore Mia Bonvissuto also qualified for States. The team hopes to use the strong showing demonstrated at Divisions as a springboard to the all important County Championship which will be held at the Nassau County Aquatic Center on Friday, November 3rd (prelims) and Saturday, November 4th (finals). Please come out to cheer on

GC outlasts Mepham 34-12 to win Conference Crown

For the 34th time in their storybook history, the GC Football team won the conference title. In his first three seasons as head coach, Dave Ettinger has guided the Trojans to perfect 8-0 regular season records each year and 3 straight conference titles. The regular season was a dominating performance with no outcome less than 22 points. The offense was masterful, averaging 40 points per game and totaling 321 points in 8 games. The defense was equally as good, yielding only 9 first-half points all season. GC led all of Long Island in surrendering the fewest points (50) in the regular season. The Trojans’ last game was definitely the toughest, as they had to fight off a feisty Mepham (6-2) squad. Although they led this one the entire time, Mepham was able to close it to 20-12 in the 3rd quarter before GC rallied for 2 more scores. On that day, the Trojans rolled for 396 yards of total offense. Trevor Yeboah-Kodie was outstanding, rushing 16 times for 230 yards and 4 touchdowns and proving he is one of the top running backs on Long Island. Justin Coppola had another fine day with 8 carries and 60 yards and 1 TD. Colin Hart was 2-2 for 53 yards passing and he added another 25 yards on 6 carries. It is often said RB’s are only as good as their o-line, and we have an outstanding one!

The unsung heroes are Ryan Walsh at center, Matt Flanagan and Steven Spirakis at guard, and Michael Liberopolous, Sean Norton, and Michael McCauley at tackle. Steven also doubles as the team’s kicker, and leads all kickers in Nassau in scoring with 50 points. There were a lot of tremendous plays on both sides of the ball, but none were bigger than Dan Boccafola’s fake punt run for a first down on 4th and 20. It seems that GC special teams always makes the big play when needed. The defense cannot be summed up by one or two players; they play as a team. Ten seniors start on defense and all of these boys have played together for over a decade. For those in attendance, we all saw the defense bend a little but never break, and the hitting was not for the fainthearted. The defense is led by their 4 senior captains, Michael Liberopolous at tackle, Matt Granville at safety, Andrew DeSantis at DE and Tyler Wuchte at corner. The other seniors are James Buckley at DE, Michael McCauley and Kieran Paskewitz at tackle, Sal Ingrassia at nose tackle, Aidan Griffin at safety, Matt Flanagan at LB, and Matt Desimpliciis at LB. The goal now is to be the first team to win back-to-back L.I. championships. The playoffs start this Friday Nov 3rd at 2:30pm at home vs Bellmore JFK.

GC wins top award in traffic program

Lloyd Albert, Senior Vice President, Public/Government Affairs for AAA Northeast (center), presents the Platinum Award for Community Traffic Safety to the Village of Garden City. Accepting the award are (from left) Trustee Mark Hyer, Police Commissioner Kenneth Jackson, Deputy Mayor Theresa Trouvé, Inspector Michael Doyle, Sergeant Thomas Mauren, and Detective Richard Pedone during a luncheon at The Garden City Hotel October 5. AAA Northeast awarded the Village of Garden City with a Platinum Award during its 53rd annual Community Traffic Safety Awards Program held this month at The Garden City Hotel. This is the third platinum award the Village has received in the past five years. The Traffic Safety Awards Program is an AAA club-based awards program for communities of all sizes. Awards are given to outstanding communities based on their efforts to make the region’s roadways safer for motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians. “This award is the result of the hard work, commitment, and cooperation between the Garden City Police Department, the Garden City Department of Public Works, the Garden City School District, the various Village Property Owner’s Associations and the Garden City Traffic Commission in working together to develop traffic safety programs, initiatives, and improvements in an effort to make our streets safer for all residents and visitors,” Police Commissioner Kenneth Jackson said. The Village was recognized for its many traffic safety initiatives such as various traffic enforcement initiatives, car seat checks, and educational programs at schools and community events, as well as engineering initiatives to promote safer roadways. The Platinum Award, AAA’s highest honor, is given to communities that have documented new, perhaps innovative, traffic safety programs, projects, or initiatives for the previous year. These communities have also demonstrated outstanding success with high

scores in all eligible categories. Garden City is one of only six jurisdictions in the downstate area, and one of only three on Long Island, to receive the AAA Platinum Award. After doing a detailed analysis of local crash data, the Village sought to reduce crash rates at specific accident-prone locations by making engineering changes and stepping up enforcement. In particular, marked improvements were made surrounding the Garden City Senior Center on Golf Club Lane where crosswalks, illuminated stop signs and a Do Not Turn sign were installed. In the vicinity of Adelphi University, signage and street improvements were installed to enhance the safety of pedestrian traffic. The Village Police Department was also recognized for its outstanding efforts in traffic enforcement, particularly their efforts to curtail impaired driving, making 44 Impaired Driving arrests in 2016. In that same year the Police Department issued more than 10,500 tickets for various traffic and safety violations. “Under the leadership of Commissioner Jackson, our police force ranks among the finest in the country. There is a general commitment to excellence among our officers, and the platinum level honor awarded to our Village by AAA Northeast recognizes their dedication to service, especially in the area of safe driving. As a Village, we are proud of the extent to which our police force keeps up with and follows current thought on safe driving,” Deputy Mayor Theresa Trouvé said.

Regent Seven Seas’ Navigator in New York Provides First-Hand Look at ‘Most Inclusive Luxury Cruiseline’ BY KAREN RUBIN Regent Seven Seas’ Navigator was docked at Pier 88 on the Hudson River in New York City, having just come in from a month-long voyage. As passengers for its next sailing – a 12-day cruise up to Halifax, Nova Scotia and down to Bermuda (fall foliage and eternal spring combined in a single journey) we got to tour the ship and see why Regent boasts being the “most inclusive luxury cruiseline.” In style, feel, and philosophy, Regent Seven Seas harkens back to the glory days of ocean cruising - elegant, luxurious, intimate, a hunger and excitement to explore places. RSSC specializes in longer cruises and a focus on destinations with longer stays in port to give more time, more in-depth visits, multiple nights in port, and free, unlimited shore excursions. It lists some 450 ports of call among its itineraries, which include a 137-day circumnavigation of the world, and longer stays in port to give more time, more opportunity for in-depth visits. Regent’s smaller ships can access ports that bigger ships cannot, and therefore are less frequented and less overrun (Check out www.rssc.com/ destinations). For this reason, unlimited shore excursions among a long list of

Regent Seven Seas’ Navigator in New York Provides FirstHand Look at ‘Most Inclusive Luxury Cruiseline’

Continued from page D1 inclusive features Regent Seven Seas offers a sophisticated, refined ambiance and casual elegance, and a premium on pampered service – the staff to guest ratio is 1:1.5. This isn’t the cruise for a family looking for rock-climbing walls, water slides, flow-riders or supervised children’s activity programs. But it’s a cruise for families who want that sense of discovery, of immersion into cultures and heritage Because of the longer itineraries, cruisegoers tend to be of retirement age, who want “good food and beverage and bucket-list destinations.” So a really significant all-inclusive feature of Regent Seven Seas Cruises are free unlimited shore excursions in every destination, as many as you like in a day. There are a limited number of optional tours, Regent Choice Shore Excursions, that because of their special content or limited availability or high cost, like heli-touring, require a discounted supplementary charge. Free unlimited shore excursions (you can take multiple ones a day) is just the beginning. Also included are two-for-one fares; free roundtrip business class air on all intercontinental sailings or free roundtrip air on domestic flights; free unlimited Wifi; specialty restaurants with no surcharge; free unlimited beverages including fine wines and premium spirits; free open bars and lounges; in-suite mini-bar replenished daily; free pre-paid gratuities; free transfers between airport and ship; and free one-night luxury hotel package in

concierge suites and above. When you calculate the inclusive features, the unabashedly pricey fare becomes more of a value proposition. And, on top of that, there are special offers at RSSC’s site: For example, the June 12, 2018, 12-day London (Southampton) sailing to Copenhagen on Seven Seas Explorer has two-for-one fares from $12,499 (with the discount) but children 17 or younger sail for $1,299. The July 6, 2018 12-day Reykjavik to Dublin voyage on Seven Seas Navigator, priced from $9,799 pp, features a bonus savings of $1400 per suite. A featured offer on an 11-day sailing on Seven Seas Explorer, Monte Carlo to Barcelona on April 12, 2018, with fares from $10,099 pp, features bonus savings of $2800 per suite. Return to World Cruises This year, Regent Seven Seas Cruises offered its first world cruise in six years on Seven Seas Navigator, beginning and ending in Miami on a circumnavigation of the globe in 128 nights, calling on six continents, 31 countries, 62 distinct ports and exploring 29 UNESCO World Heritage sites. Navigator is also the ship for the 2018 and 2019 world cruises; Mariner, which accommodates 700 passengers, will be the ship for 2020. World Cruises come with a slew of additional inclusive features, including roundtrip air, full medical care, and visa and passport services. Refined Ambiance Navigator is refinement, elegance

and grace, a destination in itself. Accommodations are all-suites, nearly all with private balcony. With only 490 guests, and a staff to guest ratio of 1 to 1 ½, you feel pampered. Regent Seven Seas refurbishes ships every 2-3 years; and in 2016, Regent initiated a two-year fleet-wide $125 million refurbishment program to bring its ships up to the standard of its newest, Seven Seas Explorer, which has been hailed as “the most luxurious cruise ship” ever built. Navigator had just gone through a bow-to-stern refurbishment in the first phase of the renovation project and we were able to see the fresh, warm color schemes, contemporary design, plush furnishings and amenities. A popular space is the Galileo Lounge on Deck 11 with a décor that conveys a celestial feel, beginning with its tempered glass double-door entrance trimmed with an abstract design reminiscent of the solar system and featuring a decorative sun-shaped handle. That theme extends inside the 132-seat cocktail lounge, where a nightblack oval-shaped ceiling twinkling with fiber-optic “stars” overlooks the inlaid wooden dance floor. Navigator Lounge / Coffee Connection: By day, these intimate Deck 6 venues – connected by a central walkway – are bathed in natural light from a bank of windows overlooking the sea. By night, the Navigator Lounge transforms into a small night club, with a Steinway piano as the centerpiece. Adding to the elegance are leatherwrapped columns with a copper-topped

capital and dark wooden base. The theater is a stunning affair – sofas and easy chairs with small tables, a beautiful stage where there is nightly entertainment – Broadway reviews and Las-Vegas style entertainment performed by a small cast of 4 to 6, plus onboard lectures from the Smithsonian Collection by Smithsonian Journeys . There is also a small casino in the style of the French and Italian Riviera, as opposed to Las Vegas glitz and noise. The Library is stunning (there is wireless access throughout the ship, free wifi). There is an onboard Canyon Ranch SpaClub® offering various spa treatments; as well as a fitness room and yoga rooms – with free classes (stretching, pilates, yoga, spinning) offered throughout the voyage. The outdoor pool is lovely; there is also a jogging track and miniature golf. Cuisine Regent Seven Seas is also known for its cuisine. In Compass Rose, the main dining room, the menu changes daily with a selection of offerings that reflect the destination, along with popular Continental cuisine standards, a selection of Canyon-Ranch healthful items, vegetarian and Kosher. The specialty restaurant on board, Prime 7, is a classic American steakhouse. La Veranda, a lovely casual restaurant for indoor and al fresco dining with incredible ocean views, is the casual restaurant serving smorgasbord-style for breakfast and lunch that transforms into a fine dining

venue, Sette Mari La Veranda, for dinner featuring regional specialties and Italian specialties. The Pool Grill offers casual dining al fresco and a popular Burger Bar. There are culinary demonstrations and wine tastings. Suites with Benefits Regent Seven Seas prides itself on being the most inclusive luxury cruising experience afloat, but as the suite category increases, so do added benefits: The Concierge Suite Category, 356 sq ft with 55 sq ft balcony, adds free one-night pre-cruise luxury hotel package that includes ground transfers, breakfast, porterage; priority online shore excursion and dining reservations; binoculars; Espresso Maker & cashmere blankets, commemorative gift plus the rest of the amenities. The Penthouse Suite category, 356-476 sq. plus 55-60 sq ft. balcony adds in personal butler; daily canapés; Guerlain bath amenities; in-suite I-Pad; personalized stationery; complimentary pressing on first night.

Chelm The mythical town in Poland, where all the residents are usually happy, gentle folk who also share another virtue— they are considered fools by everyone living outside of Chelm. In Chelm, the wisest thing you ever heard was spoken by the last person who spoke. Therefore, the next Chelmer to speak will always have something wiser and more foolish to say. A typical Chelm Story: There was a young man of Chelm who was totally ignorant of many facts of life. One day, he went running frantically to the rabbi, crying: “Rabbi, can you explain this extraordinary thing? My wife and I have been married only three months, and everyone knows it takes nine months for a baby to be born—yet she’s just given birth. How can this be?” The rabbi sighed. “I see, my son, you don’t understand the simple arithmetic. I ask you: Have you live with your wife for three months?” “Yes.” “Has she lived with you three months?” “Yes.” “Together you have lived three months?”

“Yes.” “And how much is three plus three plus three?” “Why, nine of course,” Rabbi. “Then why bother me with silly questions?” 6. Anatevka Anatevka is the fictional Russian shtetl as portrayed in the B’way show, “Fiddler on the Roof.” Life in Anatevka is very much governed by tradition. All is well in Anatevka while everyone is content with his/her allotted place. Tevye says, “Because of our traditions, we’ve kept our balance for many, many years. Here in Anatevka we have traditions for everything—how to eat, how to sleep, how to wear clothes. Because of our traditions, everyone knows who he is and what God expects him to do.” A description of Anatevka: dreadful. Hunger was endemic, sanitation disgusting, housing unspeakable. Muddy streets, open latrines—and neither water nor light blessed the huts and hovels.

Swindler Must Pay Up Before Benefits Start BY TOM MARGENAU

Q: I have a brother-in-law who is a scoundrel in my books. I just don’t know what my sister sees in this guy. Back when he was in his 40s, he was convicted of defrauding the Social Security disability program. I know he paid a fine and even served some jail time. That was about 20 years ago. Now he is about to turn 62 and according to my sister, he is signing up for his Social Security old age pension. Surely the government isn’t going to start paying this crook retirement benefits, will they? A: Obviously, I don’t know any of the particulars about this case other than what you told me. But if he served his prison sentence, then he has repaid his debt to society and he would be eligible for retirement benefits, assuming he meets all the eligibility factors. But even though he’s repaid his debt to society, he has not repaid his debt to the Social Security system. And what I mean by that is the Social Security Administration will withhold all of his monthly retirement benefits until they have recovered every nickel in disability benefits that he swindled out of the system. Q: There is a guy on our block whom I am convinced is a deadbeat cheat. He is living off of Social Security disability benefits, yet I see him outside all the time working on his house and yard. How can the government be sending this guy a check every month when there is obviously nothing wrong with him? A: Just because you see someone “outside all the time working” doesn’t necessarily imply that he is totally healthy and fit. I have a friend who is in the early stages of cancer treatment, yet he is always doing things around his house and yard. I’m sure he likes staying as busy as he can to help keep his mind off of all his problems. Of course, I don’t know what is going on with your neighbor. But if you really suspect he is cheating the Social Security system out of disability benefits, do something about it. Don’t just gripe to me. Report him to the Social Security Administration. You can do so anonymously. Just go to the Social Security website and under the “Contact Us” link, click on the tab that says “Report Fraud, Waste, or Abuse.” Q: I know someone who is cheating the Social Security system. She is nothing but a drug addict. She lives on the streets, and I’m sure she is a prostitute. She has never worked a day in her life. Yet she gets a Social Security check every month. No wonder our Social Security system is in such trouble if they are sending checks to people like her! A: Once again, I obviously know nothing about this woman. And I wonder how you know so much about her and her

alleged Social Security checks. Over my 45 year career dealing with these issues, I’ve run into thousands of people who claim to know all about someone’s life, only to learn later that most of what they thought they knew was gossip and hearsay. Still, if you truly believe this woman is abusing the system, you can follow the advice I gave in my prior answer by reporting her to SSA’s fraud department. By the way, if she really is getting a monthly disability check, my educated guess is that she is getting Supplemental Security Income payments, not Social Security. SSI is a federal welfare program run by the SSA that pays monthly benefits to low-income people who are over 65 or disabled. SSI payments are funded by general tax revenues, not Social Security taxes. The law says that people can NOT get SSI (or Social Security) disability benefits simply because they are addicted to drugs. But many people with drug addictions also have other severe physical or mental impairments that qualify them for disability benefits. Q: There is a guy in our small town who is a drunk. And he brags that he is getting a disability check from Social Security. Why does he deserve a disability check for a condition he brought on himself with all his drinking? A: Well, I guess I’m going to have to start every answer in this column by pointing out that I really don’t know anything about the situation being presented. But I do know Social Security law, and I can make some educated guesses about what is going on. Just as with drug addiction, a person cannot get disability benefits just because he or she is an alcoholic. But frequently someone with severe alcohol dependency also has many other problems, like possible cirrhosis of the liver or cardio-vascular issues. So if this guy is getting disability benefits, he is getting them because he has other chronic disabling conditions, not because he is an alcoholic. As to your point that he shouldn’t get disability benefits “for a condition he brought on himself,” well, there you are traveling down a rather slippery road. I have a cousin who gets disability benefits from Social Security because he has terminal lung cancer. He smoked three packs of cigarettes a day for all of his adult life. My wife is friends with a severely obese woman with chronic heart problems who is getting disability benefits. She spent much of her life eating a high fat diet. Should benefits be denied to these people because they brought on their own medical problems? If we start denying government benefits to people whose lifestyle choices led to their disabling conditions, we’d have very few people getting disability benefits. Q: I have a lady friend at church. She is probably in her late 60s, like me. She has a grown son who is mentally disabled. He is probably about 35 years old. My friend said her son

is getting Social Security disability benefits. How can that be? I know he hasn’t worked a day in his life. She is a nice Christian woman so I don’t think she is lying to me. But how can he be getting disability benefits without ever working? Should I report her for fraud? I am very torn about this. A: You can stop worrying. Your friend’s son is very likely getting benefits on his mother’s (or his father’s) Social

Security record. The law says benefits can be paid to dependent children up to age 18. But the law further says that if the child is disabled, those benefits can continue -- usually for the rest of his or her life. If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has the answer.

Best Inexpensive: Electric Toothbrush, Folding Knife, Smart Speaker and Extreme Hand Lotion BY MARY HUNT

One of the best things I’ve done in a long time is to invite my readers to send in their requests for my Best Inexpensive picks. I’m not sure why I love it so much, but it may have something to do with satisfying my inner shopper without actually shopping. At any rate, today I’m excited to reveal my Best Inexpensive pick for four completely unrelated but frequently requested items, with links available at http://www. everydaycheapskate.com/bietf. ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSH. I’ve gone to the same dentist for so many years that I’m sure he’d be embarrassed if I told you here. Know how much I trust and depend on Richard Oliver, D.D.S., of La Palma, California? I now live 1,100 miles away, but he’s still my dentist, and I still show up for regular cleaning and checkups. Dr. Oliver believes so strongly in the effectiveness of a good electric toothbrush that he gives his patients a new brush head for their particular model every visit. My pick for the Best Inexpensive electric toothbrush is the Oral-B Pro 1000.

Here’s why: It has a built-in timer, so I know how long I have to keep going at it. It gives me an alert when I’m done -- and also a pulse every 30 seconds, indicating when I should switch areas. The replacement toothbrush heads are very inexpensive -- or free, if you know Dr. Oliver. This brush holds a charge for many days, which makes it ideal for travel. The manufacturer claims that the Pro 1000 removes 300 percent more plaque than a regular toothbrush, something I cannot prove but, having used both, I believe. And here’s the best part: It costs about $40. FOLDING KNIFE. Having all sons and one husband, I know how much many men enjoy and depend on a decent pocketknife. In my family, I’ve joined those ranks. I love having a good, dependable cutting tool in my handbag. And I know the heartache of losing my favorite well-used and always-sharp knife. That’s when it’s good to know I carry the best that is also inexpensive. My pick for Best Inexpensive pocketknife: Columbia River Knife and Tool’s Drifter G10 plain-edge folding knife.

Here’s why: It is the perfect size and shape. Once folded, it locks in place for safety. The razor-sharp blade is high-quality stainless steel. For the money, this is a super bargain. It’s about $23. SMART SPEAKER. It started with Apple’s Siri -- a voice-activated intelligent cellphone feature willing and able to answer just about any question. Then, about two years ago, Amazon.com introduced its version for the home, featuring the intelligence of Alexa. Don’t know what I’m even talking about? Ask any 10-year-old (or, in my case, any 2-year-old grandson who has fallen in love with Alexa). My pick for Best Inexpensive smart speaker: the Eufy Genie smart speaker with Amazon’s Alexa. Here’s why: I have been testing Eufy Genie for weeks now and find it to be on a par with Amazon’s Echo Dot in every way. And it’s so much less expensive. It’s about $35. EXTREME HAND & BODY CREAM. If you suffer with what one reader describes as “alligator skin,” you’ve most likely spent a fortune trying every possible moisturizing hand and body

cream out there. So have I, especially now that I live in a very dry climate. And all of my tests and trials have paid off, because they led me to Atrac-Tain superior moisturizing cream. Here’s why: This cream is the undisputed best option for every skin type, even extremely dry, cracked skin. Atrac-Tain is miraculous. It is fragrance-free, thick and creamy and goes on nearly dry, leaving no greasy or sticky feeling. This is a miracle in a tube and worth every penny. It’s about $11.

this Thunder team faced last year and it was a tough first game. This year, under the continued instruction of coaches Chris Rogler, Billy O’Donohue, Christian Siragusa, Lawrence Galli and Brendan Benn the team played stronger and solid with determination and drive. The final score didn’t reflect the tackling skills of Alex Bruno, Brendan Benn and Jackson Castellanos nor the

numerous near breakaways we had to score. Thunder offense repeatedly tried to move down field and finally succeeded with five minutes left in the game. In an exciting drive, Luke Turck broke through a sea of defenders for a 30-yard run to bring Thunder within scoring reach. Anthony Asaro took the next handoff and sprinted in for a score and

CJ Rogler barreled through the line for the extra point to put Thunder on the board. Final score 27-7 Farmingdale. The Thunder 8’s prep this week for their final game of the season, Sunday 11/5 at 9:00 a.m., away against Massapequa. Go Thunder!

Friday, November 3, 2017 The Garden City News

Weathering torrential rain conditions, Thunder 8’s enthusiasm to play and win against Farmingdale wasn’t dampened. Family and fans huddled together under tents as the rain fell faster and the wind grew stronger throughout the early evening on Sunday at Allen Park in Farmingdale. What a difference a year makes!

Thunder 11’s remain resilient

The Thunder 11’s played a tough game Sunday against a very good Massapequa team. At points it was very physical game, but the boys showed resiliency and never gave up, despite many of them being forced to play positions they are not familiar with. Thunder hung in with the Mustangs with touchdowns scored by Kieran Heaney and Andrew Ottomanelli, but in the end, the scoreboard did not reflect their efforts.

Thunder 7’s continue to dominate

The Thunder 7’s continued their winning streak, this time defeating the Farmingdale Hawks 14 – 0 thanks to great runs by Kevin Prybylski, Caiden Lang, and AJ Haffner that set up two touchdowns by Ryan Rafferty and the extra points by Mark Escher. Blocking by Tyler Feeney and Vance Palmer helped the offense to find the gaps. Gavin Macchio, RJ Falvey, Christian Gamba, Max Lo Russo, and RJ Mongelli helped the defense shut out Farmingdale with great tackles and teamwork. The Thunder 7’s look to finish their rookie season at Community Park last Sunday, October 29th at 9:00am. Come down to cheer them on and congratulate them on a great season!

Troop #1242 salutes Juliette Low Thunder 10’s pass the biggest test

At their recent meeting, the girls of Troop 1242 paid tribute to Girl Scouts founder Juliette Low with a lesson all about her and her history. In honor of Low’s birthday on October 31st, the girls donned uniforms from years past and walked the runway for their fellow Girl Scouts. Learning about each era and the styles from that time period proved to be a fun way for the girls to learn about the Girl Scouts that came before them.

The Garden City Thunder 10’s The Garden City Thunder 10 year old football team has been on an individual and team improvement journey for four years. This past Sunday, they felt like never before that all their hard work had paid off. The team took on the previously unbeaten 42-0 Uniondale Knights and handed them their first loss ever. The final score was 13-6 and the GC 10s showed great class and respect by taking a knee on the Uniondale 5 yard line to shut down the final minute of the game. Garden City took up most of the first half with the ground and pound offense and took a 6-0 lead when Declan Wuchte banged off a Uniondale linebacker to punch it into the end zone from 4 yards out. The extra point was a successful speedy sweep run by Michael Berkery. The offensive front of Blake Cascadden, Chris Sarkis, Jake Schlipf, Zach Zander, Matt Kneafsey, Luke Cascadden, and Gavin O’Donohue along with Jimmy Trocchia and Owen Wuchte blocking out of the backfield was relentless and set the tone of the game. The Thunder defense did allow only their second touchdown of the season, but against a Uniondale team that routinely scores 24 to 40 points a game. On the defensive side of the ball, Declan Iezzi, Eamon Sack, Luke Lesuer, Will Arendt, Luke Cascadden, Jack Pawlowski, Will Yorke, Taylor Minuto, and Gerard Schiraldi were equally as tough as the first line of defense in the trenches. They were supported by Michael Berkery, Gavin O’Donohue, Chris Sarkis, Owen Wuchte, Jimmy Trocchia, and Blake Cascadden as a core of linebackers/defensive backs and

are the best in the league, hands down. As the defense did its job, the offense took another long drive that ended with a big hole from terrific blocking that Michael Berkery took to the end zone from 10 yards out. QB Wuchte came jogging back to the sideline to receive the extra point play with tears of joy in his eyes as he just watched his buddies pull off something they thought was impossible just a few short years ago. The team’s coaches, Pete Wuchte, Chad Cascadden, Ed Kneafsey, Chris Sarkis, and Jim Trocchia felt the same sense of pride to see what these boys had accomplished. After the game, the Uniondale coach had nothing but praise for our players and coaches. The Thunder 10’s did not play a flawless game, but they did, as usual, play with the hearts of lions. Every opposing coach looks at our roster weights and can’t figure out how the lightest team in the league is a power team with an unbelievable defense that “brings it” week in and week out. If those coaches came to our practices and knew our kids personally, they would have their answer. The boys are very excited about this victory and are determined to give it their best shot to take it all the way. The team’s regular Tuesday practice was a conditioning practice of sprinting from house to house to see who can get the most candy. They face the Bellmore Braves at home on the Community Park Turf Field for their final regular season game and a shot at an undefeated season and then off to the playoffs. Congratulations boys!
