Library Board welcomes trustee Environmental

review of casino project to start BY RIKKI MASSAND

The Library Board of Trustees: Mary Maguire, Lola Nouryan (vice chair), Linda Ryan, Randy Colahan (chair) and Colleen Foley. Newly sworn in Library Board Trustee Linda Ryan attended her first meeting on Monday, January 8th. Ms. Ryan took her oath of office January 3rd during a brief ceremony at the Library. She replaces former Vice Chair Germaine Greco. Board Chairman Randy Colahan administered her oath of office and congratulated Trustee Ryan, stating, “You bring a lot of library experience to the table. We look forward to working with you.” Ms. Ryan is no stranger to librarianship. She has spent most of her career in legal and higher

education and served as director of the Rittenberg Law Library at St. John’s University School of Law for many years, where she also taught in the University’s Master’s in Library Science program. Further, Ms. Ryan was the director of the Palmer School of Library and Information Science at C.W. Post. “My family and I will celebrate the 30th anniversary of our move to Garden City next month. One of the first things we did after moving in was to become members of the Garden City Public Library, so I am pleased to be serving, as a Trustee, what we

have found to be a vital and essential institution within the Village,” Trustee Ryan said. Library Director Marianne Malagon also offered her congratulations. “Her professional expertise will bring a new point of view to the Library Board,” she said. Ms. Ryan was appointed to the Policy Committee (chair), Community Relations Committee (chair) and the Programs Task Force. She joins fellow Library Board members J. Randolph Colahan, chair, Lola Nouryan, vice chair, Mary Maguire and Colleen Foley.

Residents who gathered at the Garden City Senior Center on Tuesday, December 12, discussed the many concerns and issues regarding the proposed Sands Casino for the Nassau Hub site a few miles away from Garden City. As information about potential negative effects for quality of life, traffic, safety, taxes and residential property values were examined, the group also considered the project’s New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) compliance, and how residents can become involved in making sure the project is fully studied. The Town of Hempstead plans to hold public sessions on January 18th to determine how the review process will take place. The Say No to the Casino group has been encouraging residents to attend and express their views. The December meeting was organized as a joint session of the four Garden City property owners’ associations (East, Central, Estates and West) and was led by the Say NO to the Casino Civic Association. Members of the general public were also welcome to participate. Following the Nassau County Supreme Court ruling in December that voided the Sands Casino new lease at the Nassau Hub, an appellate division panel denied a temporary injunction. The panel has not yet ruled on the merits of the county’s appeal of the state Supreme Court decision. In letters recently sent to the Town of Hempstead, Sands is claiming to remain the official tenant of the Hub site from a prior lease with an entity called Nassau Live Center. Sands’ general counsel contends that Sands retains leaseholder rights for the property. This allows the environmental review process to continue despite Hofstra litigation and the outcome in state Supreme Court. At the start of January, updates posted to the Say NO to the Casino website indicated that plans for Sands to build its casino and hotel complex at the hub site are in limbo. As of January 10 Las Vegas Sands had not yet submitted an application to New York State for a gaming facility license. See page 1

A WORD FROM THE PUBLISHER

Let your voice be heard

The Say No to the Casino group has asked that environmental “scoping” sessions to be held about the proposed Sands Casino in Uniondale be halted until a final decision by the courts on the status of its lease. The lease between Nassau County and the casino corporation has been invalidated by a New York court, which found that the state’s Open Meetings laws were violated, and that an environmental review should have been done. (That decision is under appeal by the corporation.) The January 18th scoping session would help set parameters for the environmental impact study that will be done before any development gets done

on the site. Opponents of the casino believe that it will cause a lot of unwanted environmental issues, including pollution of the air due to greatly increased traffic, and excessive water usage from our fragile aquifer. In addition, casinos can bring other problems - in particular hurting people with gambling addictions. In the event that the sessions do take place, it is imperative that Garden City residents attend and let their voices be heard. The sessions are currently scheduled for Thursday, January 18th at 10:30 am and 6 pm at the Uniondale Marriot hotel. This project will change Nassau County forever - be there to weigh in!

No Casino: Now is the Time!

To the Editor: Now is the time to join the fight against the Casino! On January 18th at 10:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. the Town Of Hempstead will hold Environmental Scoping sessions at the Marriott Hotel in Uniondale. Say No to the Casino is urging ALL Nassau residents to attend one or both of these meetings. Las Vegas Sands will be there pitching their casino proposal. We need to be there to Say No! They want to build one of the world’s largest casinos between two colleges and right next to residential neighborhoods. At 1.5 X the size of Roosevelt Field, this colossal casino complex will dwarf everything around it, with a gambling floor larger than seven football fields. The Sands plans to take in $2 Billion per year - - this is wealth extracted from Nassau residents, and diverted away from our local downtowns. Their false promises of tax revenues and career jobs don’t hold up to daylight. Instead,

we can expect more crime, more traffic, higher addiction rates, increased pollution and environmental damage, and decreases in our home values. It’s estimated that for every dollar of tax revenue that a casino brings, there are three dollars of municipal expenses. LV Sands might get rich from this casino - - but it will be at OUR expense. Remember, “The House Always Wins”. We need to show up on January 18th and Say No to the Casino! Monica Kiely

Town should halt SEQRA process on Casino SUBMITTED BY THE SAY NO TO THE CASINO CIVIC ASSOCIATION We find it perplexing that the Town of Hempstead is commencing an environmental impact study on the massive casino proposed at the HUB, given that the New York State Supreme Court has voided the transfer of the Nassau Coliseum lease to Las Vegas Sands Corporation. We call on the Town of Hempstead to halt their planned SEQRA proceedings until the courts make their final ruling on the status of the land lease. The HUB land is owned by the taxpayers of Nassau County and its fate should not be decided in back-room deals or through dubious loop-holes that would likely not hold up to scrutiny in court. The proposed casino would be colossal (2nd largest casino floor in the country - dwarfing casinos in Las Vegas) and will have far-reaching, monumental impacts on our community. We call on the Town of Hempstead to start communicating with residents directly, openly, and transparently - we have a right to understand what’s at stake. The Town of Hempstead recently sent out mailings to residents announcing two SEQRA scoping meetings on the “Proposed Development of the Nassau Hub.” The mailing incredibly left off any mention of the proposed casino or the proposed casino operator, Las Vegas Sands. Instead it referred to the casino as “proposed development” and Las Vegas Sands as simply “the organization proposing the development.” In addition, residents in some communities, including Uniondale and Hempstead, are reporting that they haven’t even received the mailing. We believe that this intentional act of deception is designed to reduce attendance at the meetings and avoid public scrutiny of a proposal to build the country’s second largest casino. This is not within the spirit of our Open Meetings Laws. The mailing must be immediately revised and delivered to ALL residents, and the SEQRA proceedings should be postponed until all residents receive transparent and comprehensive notice of the purpose of these important meetings. The documents provided on the Town of Hempstead website (https://hempsteadny.gov/1043/ DocumentsCorrespondence-Filed) confirm the significant adverse environmental and social impacts that this monstrous complex will bring to the heart of Nassau County: more traffic, more air, light and noise pol-

lution, enormous use of our water supply and energy for a casino complex that will be more than 1.5x the size of the Roosevelt Field Mall, more gambling addictions, and a corrosive, destructive change to the character of our community. What the documents do not address is the “in excess of $2 billion” gambling losses that Las Vegas Sands plans to drain from the wallets of visitors to one of the country's largest casinos - money that will come mostly from Long Islanders and that will no longer be spent in our local restaurants and downtowns. The documents also provide no disclosure as to the number of expected daily visitors to the massive casino - why is this critical information being withheld from the public? Is the Town of Hempstead afraid of the reaction of its residents if they knew just how massive this casino will be? In the event the Town of Hempstead continues with its plans to hold the SEQRA scoping sessions on Thursday, January 18, 2024 at 10:30 a.m. and 6 p.m. at the Uniondale Marriott, we encourage all Nassau County residents to come to the meetings and let Town of Hempstead elected officials know why they must “Say NO to the Casino” and why Las Vegas Sands must “Stay out of Long Island.” Residents are encouraged to visit our website www.nocasinonassau.org to learn more. Residents can also sign up for updates and send an opposition letter to the New York State Gaming Commission at https://form.jotform. com/233377955558170 * Say No to the Casino Civic Association is a non-partisan group, composed of Republicans, Democrats, and Independents from across Nassau County, who have come together with one goal: to stop the Las Vegas Sands Casino proposal. The group believes that a casino will have an unequivocally negative impact on our community and irrevocably change the character of our county. The group believes that a casino will lead to an increase in crime, gambling addiction, bankruptcy and home foreclosure rates; exacerbate traffic problems; impact our natural environment including air and water quality; depress home values; and strain law enforcement. We invite everyone in Nassau County to join us and get involved by signing our petition on our new website, www.nocasinonassau.org, joining our Facebook group, and following us on Twitter and Instagram, @NoCasinoLI.

President Biden’s reelection campaign: The good and the bad BY BOB MORGAN, JR. While much of the coverage of the 2024 presidential campaign revolves around Donald J. Trump, what are the plusses and minuses surrounding the other likely presidential candidate, President Joe Biden? Although President Biden appears to be slightly down in most national and key state polls, you can certainly find rays of hope in his favor. Start with the economy. While many people continue to be spooked by high prices, there is good news out there. Despite past predictions of a recession, there does not seem to be a downturn on the immediate horizon and at least the official inflation figures seem to be improving. The Federal Reserve Bank appears to be at the end of its periodic interest rate increases, which end will generally help the economy, and also give relief to people seeking mortgages or burden by high credit card interest rates. In addition, the stock market has rebounded in the last few months. These higher stock prices are correlated with increases in the value of 401(k) accounts, an increasingly important component of many Americans’ financial picture. This could easily result in an improved perception by voters of the economy. Of course, and here is where you cannot avoid talking about Mr. Trump, Mr. Biden has some obvious advantages in his likely opponent. No major party candidate has ever been under indictment and a potential conviction in one of the four criminal cases would be a significant problem for Mr. Trump. (Whether there will, in fact, be criminal trials this year is very murky). In addition, even apart from potential criminal trials, there is no shortage of voters who simply do not like Mr. Trump’s personality, or have been deeply upset by Mr. Trump’s conduct on January 6. Like it or not, Mr. Biden will gain some support from the renewed abortion debate following the end of Roe v. Wade and the success of recent pro-choice referendums. While it will be difficult to tie Mr. Trump to hard-line positions, this is an import-

ant issue for many of Mr. Biden’s core supporters. On the negative side, Mr. Biden will definitely be on the defensive on immigration and how his administration managed to allow millions of unvetted migrants across the border. But Mr. Biden’s biggest challenge is addressing satisfactorily the issue of personal competence. Mr. Biden is currently 81 years old and would be 86 at the end of a second term. In political terms, he was fortunate in the last election to run in a pandemic year when public appearances were seldom required. With decent debate performances, he was generally able to defuse the competence issue and make the case that his limited campaign simply reflected appropriate caution during a national emergency. Now, however, after three years of his presidency, Mr. Biden’s age and competency have become major issues, and not just among Republicans. To take a representative recent poll, the Reuters/Ipsos survey in September found 77% of respondents stating that Mr. Biden is too old to be president, including 65% of Democrats, with only 39 percent of all respondents believing he is sharp enough to be President. While Donald Trump’s numbers are not great (55 percent think he is sharp enough to be president), they are better than that of Mr. Biden, and Mr. Trump easily portrays himself as a very energetic figure. It is unclear whether Mr. Biden can do anything about this perception. During much of his presidency, he has had a very limited number of events, rarely at night, with many weekends in Delaware, and long vacations. He has had very few face-to-face interviews, and almost none with unfriendly questioners. We don’t know if he can handle a campaign season with back to back rallies. His other problem is that the backup on Team Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, is not well respected. Mr. Biden’s ability to portray himself as active and engaged may be the difference between winning and losing.

When the Bishop’s Mansion was built south of the Cathedral of the Incarnation in the early 1880s so were the stables just to the west of the mansion. This is a photo I took recently of what used to be the Bishop’s stables. Today, this building has been converted into a beautiful and unique home along Fourth Street. The original building is on the left with a two door garage added much later on the right. This home is occupied by the man in charge of maintaining the Cathedral grounds. He and his family have lived there for over 30 years. I have been in this house several times and it is one of the most interesting and historic places in Garden City.

THIS WEEK AT ROTARY Founder Reports on Book Fairies’ Mission to Increase Literacy Rates in Underprivileged Areas

Last Tuesday, January 9, at its first meeting of 2024, members and guests of Mineola-Garden City Rotary heard guest speaker Amy Zaslansky, founder and president of Book Fairies, give an enthralling account of this phenomenal organization which empowers children through literacy by increasing book ownerships in underprivileged areas. As the largest book donation organization in the tri-state area, Book Fairies serves individuals in under resourced communities on Long Island and the metropolitan area — even internationally. To date, this incredible organization has donated more than 2.7 million books through various outlets. Book Fairies programs directly impact literacy rates. “Increasing access to books inspires the love of reading, promotes academic success and expands life opportunities,” Amy noted. “Our programs make children more motivated to read, and help then to learn, grow and thrive,” she said. As its first service program of the new year, Mineola-Garden City is delighted to join Book Fairies mission by sponsoring a book drive that runs through January 19. Rotarians as well as members of the community are encouraged to drop books off during business hours at Rotary President Meg Norris’ Garden City News office at 821 Franklin Avenue, Suite 208. Book Fairies will accept generational books — childrens, from baby to young

THE MAYOR’S UPDATE mcarterflanagan@gardencityny.net We have some exciting news to share this week about St. Paul’s! The resident turnout for the October 2023 Public Opinion Poll illustrated that residents are ready for progress at St. Paul’s after three decades of inaction and divisiveness, and having witnessed the declining condition of the building. The removal of the stained glass windows so they can be preserved and stored for future restoration is an exciting first step forward. Early Monday morning trucks arrived at St. Paul’s bringing Botti Studio of Architectural Arts, a nationally recognized company headquartered in Evanston, Illinois. Botti Studios has been in continuous operation in the United States for 145 years, but the family business traces back to the 1600s when Botti Studio was established in Agropoli, and the 1700s when Panzironi Studio was established in Florence. The family businesses merged with the marriage of Ettore Christopher Botti’s parents, and specializes in the design, restoration, conservation, and fabrication of leaded stained glass and Dalle de Verre glass. How lucky we are to have Ettore Christopher Botti in our Village working on this important project! One

This will speed up the plowing operation and make the streets safer for travel. • Park your car, or cars, as close to the end of the driveway as is safely possible (not over the sidewalk or driveway apron). This eliminates the need for shoveling the entire driveway to free your car when the storm has ended and the roads are safe to travel. • When snow removal equipment is at work with lights flashing, stay clear. This equipment moves slowly. • If you are unable to shovel snow or are going to be away, make arrangements to have the snow cleared from your sidewalk. Please remember that you are responsible to shovel your sidewalks within 24 hours after the storm. This will be enforced by the Police Department. This is also applicable to the business community. • Please clear snow away from all hydrants so that the Fire Department can reach them without delay. Also, make sure that the snow is not blocking the address number to your house. • Be aware that snow shoveling is a strenuous activity made worse by extremely cold temperatures. Stay hydrated. Older residents and those in ill health should not shovel. Prior to a snow storm, make arrangements with someone to shovel for you. See page 49

Recycling Tip of the Week Wreaths and Trees

A reminder to residents who have a natural Christmas tree or wreath to dispose of, leave them at the curb on your regularly scheduled Recycling Collection Day (trees) and Rubbish Day (wreaths and garland). They will be collected by the Department of Public Works. Trees will be rendered at the Village Yard and put through a wood chipper for use around trees and shrubs as

mulch. Collection began January 2, 2024. Crews are moving continuously through the Village following the collection schedules. Please remove tree stands, strands of electric lights and plastic bags from the discarded trees, wreaths and garland and cooperate with your neighbors by disposing of them only on the scheduled collection days.

THE OFFICE CAT

Friday, January 12, 2024 The Garden City News

Remembering Brian Pinnola BY MAUREEN TRAXLER Brian Pinnola was an extraordinary, incomparable man. He was a sincere gentleman, who had an awareness of other people’s sensitivities. He was always ready to step forward to help anyone. He was extremely accomplished in his career and talents. He was very knowledgeable of historic architecture on Long Island and particularly in Garden City, and he had experience in, and a love of, landscaping, which is displayed in his creation and maintenance of a lovely garden behind the Historical Society Museum on Eleventh Street. I met Brian in 2003, when my husband John Traxler and I joined The Garden City Historical Society Board of Trustees. Although I had volunteered in many capacities in my life, from a high schooler to an adult and mom, Brian showed me the meaning of being deeply rooted in my volunteer effort, to become an “unselfish” or “selfless” volunteer. He helped me understand the essence of Garden City history, and how to bring that history alive to the community, which he did through informative lectures periodically presented by the Historical Society, and which I was privileged to assist him through publicity and flyers. Brian was present at and documented the move of the original 1872 building, dubbed an “Apostle house” by early St. Paul’s School students, from its location on Cathedral Avenue/Fifth Street to its current location on Eleventh Street in 1988. This building was to become some

17 years later, The Garden City Historical Society Museum, Brian’s vision. Interestingly, Brian, by his own volition, became the “unofficial” caretaker of this original Apostle House; he was ever-present there. I worked with Brian on many Society events and projects. To name a few: --The opening of The Garden City Historical Society Museum (2005). This action transformed the former Apostle House into a modern day “house museum.” --The creation and expansion of the Society’s Archives, his pride and joy. Together with a small group of friends, Brian oversaw the Archives, the documentation of its artifacts, and the computer cataloguing of its contents by C.W. Post students. --Brian encouraged his fellow board members on the Archives Committee to begin a Children’s Art Show series that lasted some 15 years under the direction of Trustee Mary Jane Caldwell. The event was organized and run in conjunction with the Garden City Public Schools. --Brian organized tours of Garden City’s “historic” center, and I remember being part of his docent contingent, explaining Garden City’s history to visitors and local residents. --And remember the Seventh Street Promenades? Brian always organized the Historical Society Archives Committee to set up a table to promote awareness of GC history, the Museum, and sell some of the Society’s gift shop items. Brian was one of the first to support the preservation of St. Paul’s School. I

recall going into the historic building several times with Brian as part of The Garden City Historical Society Museum Archives Committee. He was also the persistent voice that got the Village Board to restore the Nassau Boulevard LIRR station parking lot back to its 100-year-old herringbone brick pattern, and not replace it with concrete. That was quite a project – you may remember the mound of original bricks that were taken out, and then carefully re-laid in the unique herringbone architectural design. Brian was always eager to find new artifacts that suited the period of the Museum’s A.T. Stewart era and beyond, and he would go to great lengths to acquire and transport them to the Museum. He was always faithful to attend the Memorial Day ceremony in GC. He oversaw the transfer to the Village of the large WWI and WWII memorials that were left in the Historical Society’s care by Doubleday. They are now on display behind the memorials at the gazebo near the public library. Brian was always the go-to guy when it came to schlepping merchandise to the Museum. He would use his own SUV, and his own muscle, to retrieve from donors historic artifacts or items for the A.T. Stewart Exchange. As mentioned, Brian was an “unselfish” volunteer, and he would always go beyond what was expected of him. Notable was his “behind the scenes” work to prepare the museum and arrange parking service to ensure that events would run smoothly, and his going the extra mile to get quotes

Brian Pinnola for various projects, including boiler issues, window repairs, sprinkler system and security at the Museum. It’s almost impossible to quantify what Brian Pinnola has given of himself to the Historical Society, Preservation efforts, and the Village of Garden City…it was his life, his love, his everyday experience, from awaking in the morning at his GC home to his meeting with friends and acquaintances at Walk Street and local hangouts in the evening. He lived and breathed Garden City, its past, its heritage, and its future. Brian Pinnola will be sorely missed. God bless you, Brian. Rest in peace. Forever your friend, Maureen Traxler Dellacona 1.7.2024

Environmental review of casino project to start From page 1

The first two bullet points on the website update detail the necessity of a SEQRA process: “Now that the New York State Supreme Court has voided the lease agreement between Las Vegas Sands and the County, if the County Legislature wants to reconsider the lease it will only happen after the completion of an environmental impact study (SEQRA study). And this time the County will be required to follow our Open Meetings Laws so that County residents are fully informed.” “SEQRA study will address the many negative impacts on our environment - traffic, air and noise pollution, impact on water supply, waste disposal, public safety considerations including increased risk of DWI fatalities,” according to the the Say NO to the Casino post. Estates’ Property Owners’ Association co-president Rich Catalano explained that SEQRA boils down to a New York State law that is intended to protect residents, communities and the environment when “significant” development projects are proposed. Village Trustee Ed Finneran, the former president of the Central Property Owners’ Association, spoke about the terrific environmental counsel the Village of Garden City retains. Sive, Paget & Riesel and one of its principal partners, David Yudelson, will monitor any Sands Casino SEQRA process ahead. The trustee told residents that the SEQRA process would take from 9 to 12 months or longer “if it is run as it

Two Garden City students were named to the Dean’s List for the fall 2023 semester at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. To make the Dean’s List, students must have earned at least 12 credits for the fall 2023 semester and have no disqualifying grades. The students are: Tommy Casey, Bachelor of Science, Accounting Patrick McKeever, Bachelor of Science, Electrical Engineering n

Hofstra University is proud to release the Fall 2023 Provost’s List, which rec-

should be.” He reported that the Sands’ proposed SEQRA process had not been delayed due to the Hofstra University litigation. “For SEQRA review the Town of Hempstead is designated as the Lead Agency and in their request, letters were sent to 50 or 60 organizations including villages. They run the process but it’s a well-worn, legislated process. With the two other types of agencies that can be designated for SEQRA are an Involved Agency or an Interested Party, Garden City falls in the latter. The Village is on record as wanting to be kept abreast of all legal procedures, meetings, requests for information – we’ll have access to anything that any other party has that’s interested in the SEQRA process,” he said. Trustee Finneran said the village administration and Board of Trustees remains updated on the SEQRA process through Yudelson and legal staff. The first point of official business for the environmental review is “scoping” to develop an outline for the official process, involving the opportunity for any involved or interested parties to comment on the record. Finneran noted that Garden City might choose to hire environmental experts to assist the village and its counsel with information and reviews. Once the scoping is completed the Lead Agency (the Town of Hempstead) will compile a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS), then all the interested parties will be able to comment on the record. Following the investigation and determinations of some points raised during the DEIS process, the Town will work to come up with a

Final Environmental Impact Statement. “At that point decisions would need to be made whether the village or anyone else wants to challenge it or has standing to challenge – but we don’t anticipate that to occur until at least the end of 2024. Because of what’s happened before, you can imagine that there would be a high grade of scrutiny on how the EIS process will be run. Counsel informs us that there are situations where this process could be truncated and there might be shortcuts taken. We do not expect that to happen here with Sands since there are many vocal opponents and several agencies have skin in the game. The Village of Garden City is one of them,” Trustee Finneran asserted. Another factor ahead would be the Town of Hempstead’s Zoning Board opinion/ruling on permitted zoning and regulations for a Sands casino and hotel project, should the process move ahead and envision expanding the usage of the Nassau Hub/Coliseum property. The applicant’s petition for rezoning approval would be formally made to the Town of Hempstead. Trustee Finneran shared his appreciation and support for the group of residents behind ‘Say NO to the Casino’ as well as the Nostrand Gardens Civic Association based in Uniondale, led by Pearl Jacobs. “Those groups are the two most active though I am sure most folks have followed the developments in the newspapers. Everything that the group is presenting is spot-on,” he said. As noted on the Say NO to the Casino website, Jacobs has shared the following statement: “Uniondale, the host com-

munity for the proposed casino project at the Nassau Hub, has been identified by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) as a community that has been disproportionately disadvantaged by air pollution and climate change; heavy traffic being the primary cause. A casino at this site would result in a substantial increase in traffic which would result in further deterioration of Uniondale’s air quality. This would be perceived as environmental racism.” Trustee Finneran’s message to the audience at the December 12 meeting was that more contact with state and local officials could go a long way to ensuring concerns are heard and addressed. He also advised that opponents of the casino proposal will need backing from “big names” to rally and uphold resident’s quality of life. “Know that the SEQRA process has to continue as the Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) convenes and then it would reach the committee of Gov. Kathy Hochul for gaming sites to be parsed,” he added. Casino applicants that successfully obtain approval of the local CAC followed by zoning approval will be evaluated for a casino license by the New York State Gaming Facility Location Board. The Say No to the Casino group plans to attend the Town of Hempstead’s scoping session scheduled for Thursday, January 18th at 10:30 a.m. and 6 p.m. at the Uniondale Marriott, and encourages Garden City residents to also attend. The group’s statement on the SEQR process is printed on page 8 of this issue.

BY MELISSA JAEGER Martin Luther King Day celebrates the Civil Rights leader’s life and legacy and is observed on the third Monday in January. This year, Jan. 15, 2024, is the 38th anniversary. Everyone knows that King was an important civil rights activist, and a leader in the movement to end racial segregation in the United States. An advocate of non-violent protest, King became the youngest man to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Shortly after his death in 1968, a campaign was started to make King’s birthday a holiday. Initially, trade unions led the campaign for the federal holiday. Two of the main arguments against making it a national holiday were the expense — costs associated with paying employees for the day off — and the fact that King was a private citizen who never served his country. Only two other figures have national holidays honoring them — George Washington and Christopher Columbus. MLK Day has another distinction. It is the only national day ON, not off. What does that mean? It is designated as a National Day of Service to encourage all Americans to volunteer and take steps to improve their communities. For those of us who work at the Exchange, it is ALL about volunteering. We do it every week. We do our part to help preserve the A.T. Stewart building in which we are housed. Built in 1872, it sure needs a lot of help! And your purchases can — and do — go a long way to helping with those efforts.

IN MEMORIAM Charles P. Menges, Jr.

Charles Philip Menges Jr, born August 14, 1942, died January 2, 2024. Husband of Evelyn S (Patty), father to Charlie (Nancy), Evelyn (Kevin Amerio), and beyond proud grandfather to Jay, Petey, William and Elisabeth. Charles Philip Menges Jr was born to Madeline and Charles Menges in Brooklyn, New York. Though an only child he considered his childhood friends, Eddie and Paul, his brothers sharing together his cousins and all the joys and childhood antics of growing up in Richmond Hill in the 50’s. Charlie went to PS 90, attended high school at St. John’s Prep where he played both varsity football and basketball. He went on to attend Fordham University where he played freshman basketball. During Christmas break of his senior year of college he ran into one of the teens who followed him around at the Rockville Links pool where he lifeguarded that previous summer. After asking what was new, she replied, I have a brandnew stepsister, Patty Scholly, who you must meet. Though they each already had a date for New Year’s Eve, they

Charles P. Menges, Jr. snuck in their first date between Christmas and New Year’s when Patty wowed Charlie with her knowledge of sports. They never dated anyone else and married a year and a half later. Avid Brooklyn Dodgers fans, they were devastated by the Dodgers move to LA,

eventually finding solace in the mid 70’s when the Red Sox took the hearts of the entire family. Charlie began his career at the Equitable Life Insurance Company after earning his MBA at St. John’s University. He worked at the Equitable for 19 years commuting back and forth on the LIRR where he somehow managed to make it home nearly every night for dinner at the dining room table, only really missing it when he was coaching or attending one of his children’s sports games or later playing in his Monday night tennis league. Charlie was extremely driven to succeed and always gave 110% at everything he did. Because of this drive, at the age of 45 decided to make the first of two major career changes into the field of investment banking. During this time not only did he succeed in this new career, Charlie began helping others to find their own paths, always willing to talk or help a friend, colleague, or one of his children’s friends. However, it was 10 years later that he found exactly what he was meant to do when he became a financial advisor at Sanford C. Bernstein. It was in this role where

Charlie found a job that truly matched his intelligence with his ability to meet and talk to anyone, and he knocked it out of the park for the next 20 years. Charlie was a proud member of the Garden City community for over 50 years and lived on a small block of 8 houses that had over twenty-six kids living on the street. In the early years of living here, the kids would often ring the bell to see if Mr. Menges could come out and play basketball or football. Charlie was an active member of St. Joseph’s and most recently St. Anne’s Parish. Charlie also served as a Garden City Trustee from 1981 to 1988. A lifetime member at the New York Athletic Club and member of the Atlantic Beach Club where he was an avid basketball and tennis player and continued to volunteer on various committees. Charlie had circles of friends in every avenue of his life – his Garden City friends, his work friends, his college friends, his tennis friends, his beach friends, the friends of his kids’ friends, and even the friends of his grandkids’ friends. He touched everyone he met and will be missed by more than can be listed here.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Email: Editor@GCNews.com From page 2

tion and found a number of their proposed uses unacceptable for the reasons I will address here. • A Lego room: the library offers regular Lego sessions for youngsters of different ages. Since volunteers are now requested for those sessions who will staff a Lego room at St. Paul’s? Will a paid staff member be required? • A senior center: I play bridge at the existing senior center and find that it accommodates card players and exercise classes and meetings very comfortably, with easy parking and no steps for safe accessibility. • A theater for performing arts: Adelphi University offers numerous performances in music, theater and dance. At one meeting Frank McDonough claimed the preservationists would bring Phantom of the Opera to St. Paul’s. At whose expense would that be? • A music room: will music students from our schools be transitioning from practice at their respective schools to practice here and under whose tutelage? More recently, the full page presentations of the Alliance’s gifts to Garden City residents include a large sensory room for people with special needs. Again, what qualified people would staff such a room? I volunteer in the Respite program at St. Anne’s where each special needs youngster is paired with one or two adult volunteers during two hours of activities . Another proposed gift is a modern dance room for gaining poise. Who will hire qualified dance instructors? Similarly, who will staff the proposed robotics room- a qualified teacher? I have touched on only the proposals – forced ones in my opinion- that I can recall right now. The sales job, as I see it, being conducted by the preservationists proceeds at a pace that is difficult to keep up with. Please note that I would be for Facadism where the front of St.

Paul’s would remain as a presence in Garden City with a practical structure behind it , such as a sports facility to be used by many residents year round. Because Facadism was not listed separately on the ballot in the October vote it remains to be seen how many residents might vote for it. I found the turnout in October disappointingly low, probably because so many residents are simply not paying attention to the details concerning St. Paul’s. Since this project will continue to drag on for decades my husband and I may not even be here to bear the brunt of the tax burden, but our offspring, putting children through college, will potentially be burdened with tax increases way beyond the mythical $400 annually promised by Frank McDonough. Even if the proposed uses of rooms on the lower levels of St. Paul’s are approved, I ask you to seriously consider the ongoing expense of rehabilitating the upper levels and what forced uses of those rooms will be imposed on the community. In 2012 the consulting firm of Erwin & Bielinski wrote as follows: “Finally, the Committee must face the fact that the School is archaic in construction and layout and lends itself to virtually no modern occupancies. It is also an enormous building, far larger than any of the remotely conceivable occupancies might require. In short, the School has outlived its usefulness as a building. The urge to preserve this admittedly handsome building is entirely admirable, but the community should weigh whether the scale of the necessary investment compared with the likelihood of a successful reuse is consistent with their wishes.” In considering total preservation at all costs, those in authority should not lose sight of these words. Finally, I have no personal animus towards Frank McDonough (my husband and I played paddle with his wife years ago) but I cannot abide what I

perceive to be a slick sales job being perpetrated in the pursuit of preservation of St. Paul’s. Jane Horn

A sad week for GC

To the Editor: Another sad week for Garden Citythe Mayor and another BoT member have been spotted alongside construction workers (from the Botti Studio of Architectural Arts?) at St. Paul’s. And so, the removal work for the stained glass windows of our historic St. Paul’s Chapel has apparently begun. The Village Board of Trustees are again demonstrating a lack of thorough preparation and thoughtfulness. The most recent example involves this stainedglass window work at St Paul’s. Here are some pertinent facts: • Most stained glass windows are restored in place, as readily exemplified during the recent restoration of St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Manhattan. Only two or three of the numerous St. Paul’s windows were damaged to the degree that removal would be necessary when inspections were done in 2023. The rest, including the beautifully iconic altar windows, appeared to be in relatively good condition. Yet, they’re all coming out- why? • There is professionalprotocol for architectural and construction service work regarding stained glass windows, and our “transparent” Board of Trustees has failed to demonstrate that these appropriate industry protocols have been followed. For example, industry standards require a “Conservator” to be retained for all such historic stained glass work. Has a Conservator been hired? That is the first requirement for stained glass work! It is known as the “Research Phase” of the process, and it involves a thorough third-party assessment to identify any extent of damage and needed restoration work. The BoT has not identified a conservator, and none has surfaced to date. Instead, a broad decision has been made to remove

all the windows and a design crew was hired. This is highly unprofessional. • The work also claims to include the removal of the St. Paul’s skylight. The skylight is an architectural treasure from the late 1800’s that was functioning perfectly when inspected in 2023. Why is it being removed now? Why indeed? • There seems to be a fiscal responsibility here that is being ignored. Botti, the stained glass contractor, is certainly a respected expert in the field. However, Botti’s cost estimates are very high. They include - $150,000 to remove the stained glass, store it in Indiana, then return the windows at an unknown future date to Garden City, plus $6,000 to insure their interim storage. An additional $447,000 is estimated to restore the glass. The total Botti Contract will approximate $600,000! This is from the same Board that previously rejected St Paul’s related spending requests for a Communications Budget, and a St Paul’s survey of $6,000 - $8000 was also deemed too expensive. For something as high cost as this stained glass work, shouldn’t a competitive bid for these services have been properly pursued? The contention that other reputable firms did not respond to village calls is not an answer. There is no immediate rush, after 30 years to restore the glass in the first place. More time should definitely have been allotted to aggressively pursue a competitive bid. But this high, wasteful cost is unfortunately not even the only issue. • Perhaps, more importantly, to the knowledge of our resident population, is a reminder that no final decision on the future of St. Paul’s has yet been agreed upon, beyond the recent poll on preserving the building. There is a growing interest in the phased Community Center proposal promoted by the St. Paul’s Alliance. This alternative does not seem to be a serious consideration for the Mayor, but if we take notice of other community centers, such as the highly used, and very successful one in Rockville Center, it is truly worth

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Email: Editor@GCNews.com considering for Garden City. Perhaps the Mayor is favoring Don MacLeod’s alternative Facadism Proposal, which appears to have morphed/evolved after the previous Mayor’s Committee on St. Paul reported the structural shortcomings and other disadvantages of the original concept. The current scheme appears to be the retention of the front of the building and the demolition of the Chapel wing and the West Wing as well, to adjoin with a renovation of Cluett Hall and the Field House to ultimately add an enclosed sports facility to the remaining St. Paul’s structure, an intricate variation on the original facadism idea. This is surely a costlier and complicated alternative. Moreover, it would appear that the removal of the stained-glass is a first step to facilitating this facadism proposal. With the glass gone, why not tear down the chapel wing, and for that matter the west wing as well? Has a decision therefore already been made to pursue this scheme? There are admittedly some major assumptions I am making here but given the closed- door nature of the Mayor’s strategy meetings, we are only left to make these assumptions. What else can we do given the recent sad history of events? We desperately need real transparency. We desperately need to work together. In about three weeks, the stained glass will be removed from St. Paul’s and Garden City will have probably lost one of our greatest historical treasures. The Chapel and West Wing of St. Paul’s will likely be next. It is indeed a sad week for Garden City. Will Alisse, AIA, Registered Architect in the State of NY and longtime village resident

3 comments on traffic

To the Editor: 1) Plaudits to the Village for finally addressing the dangerous 3-lane traffic on Stewart Ave. East between

Franklin and Clinton Aves. Two lanes are safer and more logical for all the reasons mentioned over the years. But there was some talk about keeping the three lanes between Butler (opposite Westbury/Osborne) and Clinton going East. Why keep the dangerous three lanes if the two lanes are safer? 2) Also reported in this paper was that Garden City is rethinking its participation in the Red Light Photo Enforcement program once more units become available. Why? We’ve been through this before and there is still no benefit to the Village. It simply increase the coffers of the County. Yet the County refuses to allow the left turn arrow from Washington Ave to Eleventh St on throughout the day although residents have been asking for this for years. Why? 3) This paper also reported that there is another proposal to allow a bus route from Mineola Train Station down Franklin and turn east on Stewart Ave to get to the proposed casino in Mitchel Field. If we didn’t agree to a similar proposal in the past why should we agree now?

Always there for us

Cynthia Brown To the Editor: The GCPD provides this Village with something special. Without exception, they are there providing a level of safety, caring and comfort that every resident and visitor can trust. Over the Christmas holidays, I had the occasion to watch them in action near my home. One matter involved an aided case at a nearby home. In another case, it was someone speeding down Stewart Avenue that got their attention. In both cases, well trained, professional GC officers handled the matters perfectly. Night and Day they keep us as safe as possible. Well done - as usual. Richard J. Williams

January 6th fiasco

To the Editor:

There is still quite some disarray about what happened to the Capitol— the people’s house—on January 6, 2021. Let’s continue releasing all the videos, memos and phone calls made by the responsible people in charge and reconstruct and try to piece the entire scenario together. Therefore, I would like to repeat the content of my letter published in the Garden City News on June 30, 2022 because, sadly, it is still relevant.

Illegitimate Jan. 6th Committee

Former President Trump recommended to the Speaker of the House, Ms. Pelosi, and the Mayor of D.C., Ms. Bowser, to put up to 10,000 National Guards on standby, just in case turmoil might develop on Jan. 6th. Furthermore, he was not in charge of the security of the Capitol, which falls under the Speaker of the House. Weeks before, there were rumors that terrorists were planning to have riots on January 6th. People like Mr. Sullivan, leader of the Black Lives Matter movement, who was an active member of the riot, prepared followers on what to wear, what to bring, how to attack and how to intermingle with the crowd. It is also a fact that the Capitol Police were ill-prepared and illequipped to stand up. The Capitol Police Chief, Steven Sund, made a remark that he was concerned about the optics. He did not have the authority to request the National Guard. It is up to the House Sergeant at Arms, who answers to Ms. Pelosi. He was waiting for Ms. Pelosi’s approval, which he finally got on January 6th late in the game. Now to the January 6th committee: A committee of that nature is composed of members of both parties and selected by the majority/minority leaders of the House. Ranking Republican members Jordan and Banks were rejected by Ms. Pelosi and replaced by Republican Trump haters Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger. In short, this is an illegitimate committee controlled by Ms. Pelosi, destroy-

ing any chance of bipartisanship. On top of that, she excused herself from being called to testify by the committee. To sum up: If Ms. Pelosi would have called the National Guard in time, there would not have been a January 6th fiasco. All of the above leaves quite a few questions open. There is something rotten in the state of Denmark! What’s wrong with our legal system? Heinz Mayer

100% Signal System Reliability?

To the Editor: The MTA invested $11.6 billion in direct costs for construction of the Long Island Rail Road East Side Access to Grand Central Madison. Part of the scope of work involved upgrading the Harold Interlocking and signals west of the Woodside Station. This cost over $1 billion. (These capital assets were previously updated in 1991 at a cost of over $100 million.) The most recent work included upgrading and expansion of the signal system to accommodate new LIRR service to Grand Central Madison. How disappointing that less then one year later, there was another round of signal problems west of the Woodside Station. This resulted in service delays on Saturday night, December 30th. There was no service in or out of either Grand Central Madison or Penn Station for one hour around 10 PM. This represents the most recent in a series of failures on the part of the LIRR to maintain consistent safe and reliable service 24/7 on the Main Line Third Track, Hempstead, Huntington and all 11 branches. Once again, the LIRR left coal in the stockings of commuters this holiday season. So much for any decent on time performance.

New York State Ski Areas Welcome Beginners to Olympians to Slopes BY KAREN RUBIN TRAVEL FEATURES SYNDICATE GOINGPLACESFARANDNEAR.COM It always is a surprise to realize New York State has more ski areas (50+) than any other state, and they range from the world-class Whiteface and Olympic venues at Lake Placid, to a small, family-friendly, learn-toski area, ThunderRidge, reachable on Metro North, where families can ski into the night. New York State’s Olympic Regional Development Authority (ORDA) actually owns and operates three of our favorite ski destinations: Whiteface and Gore Mountain in the Adirondacks, and Belleayre, so easy to reach in the Catskills (orda.org).

Whiteface Mountain, Wilmington

Top of the list for ski areas with a world-class reputation is Whiteface, site of the 1932 and 1980 Olympics, where in addition to skiing, you can visit Olympic venues and even participate (biathalon, anyone? skate on the Olympic Oval, drive a coaster down the bobsled track). Whiteface offers the greatest vertical (3430 ft. from the summit at 4867 ft.) of any lift-serviced mountain in the Northeast. This is a serious mountain – actually three mountains, Whiteface summit is a 4,867 ft.; Lookout Mountain tops at 4,000 ft.; Little Whiteface at 3,676 ft. – with more expert terrain, more long, rolling groomers (including one of the longest single intermediate runs in the Northeast, the 2.1 mile-long Wilmington Trail) in the East. This season, Whiteface has a new

The Lake Placid Legacy Sites Passport includes a one-time admission to the Olympic venues (https:// whiteface.com/legacysitespassport/). There is no lodging on the mountain (it’s a wilderness area, after all), but many lovely inns, bnbs, hotels and resorts nearby, including the Whiteface Lodge Resort & Spa and Mirror Lake Inn Resort & Spa; The Lake Placid Inn and the Saranac Waterfront Lodge, an eco-luxe independent boutique hotel; Golden Arrow Lakeside Resort (www.goldenarrow.com), High Peaks Resort (2384 Saranac Avenue, Lake Placid, NY 12946, 518-523-4411, 800-755-5598, www. highpeaksresort.com) Whiteface Mountain, 5021 Rte 86, Wilmington, NY 12997, 800-462Gore Mountain is New York State’s largest ski resort with 439 skiable 6236, 518-946-2223, 877- SKI-FACE acres spanning four mountains.

Whiteface Mountain also has made snowmaking upgrades including adding150 high efficiency snow guns, and two snow cats, as well as improvements to the Cloudsplitter Gondola. Mt. Van Hoevenberg, the crosscountry and biathlon venue, has upgrades to snowmaking system as well as grooming and trail improvements (mtvanhoevenberg. com). At Mt. Van Hoevenberg, experience the thrill of what it was

like to be an Olympic Bobsledder during the 1980 Winter Games on the Cliffside Mountain Coaster, which boasts one of the longest year-round mountain coasters in the USA. Other attractions include the Sky Flyer Zipline at the Lake Placid Olympic Jumping Complex, the SkyRide Experience, an 8-person gondola that brings you from the Olympic Jumping Complex’s base lodge to the 90-meter and 120-meter ski jump towers, a glass-enclosed elevator ride to the top of the ski jumps for a panoramic vista of the Adirondack High Peaks (and to experience what the jumpers see as they start to accelerate towards the end of the ramp!), Nordic trails at Mt. Van Hovenberg (where you can try your hand at the biathalon).

Gore Mountain, North Creek

As a perennial blue-trail/ intermediate skier, Gore Mountain is one of my favorite places to ski. Nestled in the Adirondacks, it offers expansive views of a real wilderness. You actually feel as if you were in the Rockies. Gore Mountain is New York State’s largest ski and ride resort with 439 skiable acres spanning four mountains, including Gore, Bear Mountain, Burnt Ridge Mountain and Little Gore Mountain, a vertical drop of 2,537 feet from the summit at 3,600 ft, 108 trails (longest is 4.4 miles), accessed by 14 lifts. The big news this year is that Gore Continued on next page

New York State Ski Areas Welcome Beginners to Olympians to Slopes Continued from previous page opened The Bear Cub Quad, replacing its beginner skier lift. This lift is double the length and unloads at an easiest trail for beginners, significantly enhancing the learning experience at Gore. At their beginner run they added two new conveyor surface lifts to make it easier for newer skiers to learn. Gore Mountain they have expanded snowmaking at the North Creek Ski Bowl, added snowmaking to the Moxham trail and upgraded to more energy efficient snowguns on 46er as well. Gore’s North Creek Ski Bowl has a marvelous cross-country ski center, and offers Twilight Nordic Wednesday through Friday (2 pm-6 pm and Day & Twilight Nordic on weekends (9 am -6 pm) where you can do cross-country skiing or snowshoeing after dark. (A valid lift ticket or season pass gives you free access to the Nordic Center.) (Ski Bowl Road, North Creek, NY 12853, 518251-0899.) Gore Mountain has no on-mountain lodging but there are plenty of charming places throughout the Adirondacks, and marvelous dining in North Creek. Among them, Lorca Adirondacks at Indian Lake, about 40 minutes away, which is owned by a Great Neck native (thelorca.com, 518-300-3916). For a luxurious stay, choose The Sagamore, a historic, grand resort in Bolton Landing on Lake George, 45 minutes away (www. thesagamore.com).

Belleayre Mountain, Highmount

Belleayre Mountain is especially popular with families because of its

proximity (just about 2 ½ hours drive) and perfect size, with marvelous beginner trails and learn to ski programs, and a natural separation between beginner and advanced skiers. Belleayre has made improvements this season including replacing an older triple chair ski lift from the Overlook Lodge to the summit, changing a few trails to expand intermediate terrain high on the mountain, modified the Upper Cathedral Brook trail so it returns to forest, added a hybrid groomer with a winch for better grooming on steeper terrain. What I love best about Belleayre is its natural separation of beginners (from the mid-mountain to the base, with long beginner trails) and more advanced skiers. It affords a 1404 ft vertical drop from a 3429 ft summit, 63 trails, terrain parks, glades and an X-course. Intermediates will enjoy Deer Run, which meanders through a beautiful part of the mountain. Cross-country skiers can enjoy 9.2 kilometers of ungroomed, unpatrolled trails. There is no on-mountain lodging, but quaint inns and lodges nearby in Fleischmann’s, Pine Hill, Big Indian, Phoenicia, Margaretville and Shandaken – among them, the Lorca Catskills offering several cabin/cottage-style accommodations (thelorca.com, 518-300-3916). See more at www.belleayre.com/ plan-your-visit/lodging/) (Belleayre, Highmount, NY 12441, 800942-6904, 845-254-5600, www.belleayre. com).

Windham Mountain Club

Windham Mountain, popular for decades, is reborn (actually going back to its roots) as the Windham Mountain Club, with a plan for $70 million in enhancements over the next several

years to the mountain’s amenities and services. Though reorganizing as a membership club, the ski resort is still open to the public; daily lift tickets and season passes are available up to capacity limits to ensure minimal lift lines and uncrowded slopes. Also, Windham Mountain Club is continuing its longstanding partnership with the Adaptive Sports Foundation. Enhancements this season include improved snowmaking and upgraded lifts, a reimagined culinary program, including new food court, Mediterranean restaurant in the base lodge, Italian Alpsstyle restaurant with wine program at mid-mountain, and The Windham, a private members’ club dining experience.

Weight loss ranks as one of the top New Year’s resolutions every year. So, here it is, the first week of January, and like most Americans, you probably have it somewhere on your resolutions list. That’s according to an article published in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity. The article looked at a survey of more than 2,000 adults by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The adults identified themselves through a written survey as those who had tried to lose weight during the past year. Of those, 584 had lost weight and kept it off, while 1,537 had either tried to lose weight and failed or lost weight and then regained it. Discouraging, right? Only a third were

able to successfully lose weight and keep it off. But that one-third was willing to share their secrets for success. The researchers asked the adults what strategies they used to lose weight. These included reducing the amount of food they ate, exercising at least 30 minutes per day and eating more fruits and vegetables. Other strategies included using over-thecounter diet products, eating meal-replacement products and eating less carbohydrates. Similarly, they were asked which of six behavioral strategies they used to control their weight in the long term, such as daily weigh-ins, measuring the food they put on their plate and planning their meals. The researchers found men are more successful than women, and younger men (29 years or younger) were more success-

The Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. BY CLAIRE LYNCH Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is on January 15 and on this day when most schools, banks and federal offices are closed, it is a good time to reflect on who he was - and what his numerous contributions to society were. On the evening of April 4, 1968, while standing on the balcony of his motel room in Memphis, Tenn., where he was to lead a protest march in sympathy with striking garbage workers of that city, he was assassinated. Martin Luther King, Jr. was born in Atlanta, Ga., on January 15, 1929. He went to Booker T. Washington High School. He skipped two grades in high school and started his college education at Morehouse College at the age of 15. After getting his degree in sociology from Morehouse in 1948, King got a divinity degree from Crozer Theological Seminary in Chester, Pa., and then got his doctoral degree in theology from Boston University. It was bestowed in 1955. King’s father was a preacher who wanted M.L. King, Jr. to become a lawyer but after much thought he decided to pursue the ministry. He had a younger brother and an older sister. It was in Boston that he met Coretta Scott and in 1953 they married. The Kings had four children including Yolanda, Martin, Dexter and Bernice. In his first major civil rights action, Martin Luther King, Jr. led the Montgomery Bus Boycott in Alabama. On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white man. She was arrested and spent the night in jail. In Montgomery, King helped organize a boycott of the public transportation system. The boycott lasted for over a year and when it was over in 1956, segregation on the Montgomery buses came to an end. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that segregation on public buses is unconstitutional. It was at the Montgomery Bus Boycott that King instituted the practice of massive non-violent civil disobedience to injustice which he had learned from studying the philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi. In 1957 M.L. King, Jr. was elected the president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, an organization formed to provide new leadership for this

relatively new civil rights movement. He based many of the ideals for this organization on Christianity. Between 1957 and 1968, King traveled over six million miles and spoke more than 2,500 times. In 1963, Martin Luther King, Jr. helped to organize the famous “March on Washington.” More than 250,000 people attended this march to show the importance of civil rights legislation. They hoped to accomplish an end to segregation in public schools, protection from police abuse and to pass laws that would prevent discrimination in employment. It was at this march in Washington, D.C., where King stood on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and gave his famous “I Have a Dream” speech. King said that he dreamed that men and women, boys and girls could all get along regardless of race. He said, “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” At that historic site in Washington M.L. King, Jr. also said, “I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream.” King’s legacy of courage has lived on through his wife and his children. It was in 1968 that Coretta Scott King, his widow, organized the Martin Luther King Jr., Center for Non-Violent Social Change in Atlanta. Martin Luther King, Jr. was named Man of the Year by “Time” magazine in 1963. Receiving the Nobel Peace Prize at the age of 35 in 1964, M.L. King, Jr. was the youngest male recipient. Martin Luther King III, who was 10 years old when his father died, has followed in his father’s footsteps and became an activist. King III, whom friends call Marty, recalled the dream for equality, saying, “That vision that my father and mother championed never wavered.” He added, “’People have the right to protest for rights’ is what my father used to say. I think that my mother and father always believed that through nonviolent means we could build community, and somehow we’ve got to get focused back on building community.” Marty also said, “I always hope that I am giving love whenever I go out into

the world. Whatever my message is, I hope it comes through in the spirit of love and not in the spirit of antagonism and hate. Even if one doesn’t agree with me, I hope that they receive what I say in love. Dad used to teach us that you can disagree without being disagreeable. That was his mantra.” On holiday remembrances and at other times of the year Marty has spoken poignantly about the legacy that his father, M.L. King, Jr. left for this generation and for many generations to come. Marty has said, “I’m proud of my father, but my pride cannot be fully measured by that snapshot in history. Because contrary to first glance, my father’s legacy comes not from his presiding over the final act in the drama of fighting for equal rights - his legacy is about setting the stage.” Remembering his father for the ideals that he held, Marty has said, “I know that if he were here today, he would be proud of our progress, but deeply disappointed by some of our failures. That is why we must continue to fight for peace, justice, and equity.”

Turning Full Retirement Age in 2024? Consider Filing for Benefits This Month BY TOM MARGENAU I write a column similar to this one every January. But I don’t mind plagiarizing myself because it contains a very important message for people planning to retire in 2024. January is a critical month for the hundreds of thousands of potential Social Security beneficiaries who are reaching their full retirement age in 2024. The important message: All of them should at least consider the possibility of filing for their benefits this month, even though they may not be reaching their retirement age until later in the year. Please note that if you want to delay filing for your Social Security benefits until 70 to get the “delayed retirement credit” of about 30% added to your monthly benefits, then you should forgo the procedure discussed in this column. Also, if you’re one of those people who absolutely insists on waiting until your FRA to file for benefits, then forget this column’s message. But if you are open to the possibility of increasing your benefit payout for 2024, you may want to consider filing for benefits in January. The reason for this early filing time frame has to do with some quirky and complicated features of Social Security’s earnings penalty provisions. Those provisions generally keep seniors who are still working off Social Security’s rolls until they reach that magic full retirement age. The law essentially says if you are over 62 but under your full retirement age and are still working full time, you are not eligible for Social Security. Specifically, the rules require that the Social Security Administration deduct $1 from any retirement benefits you might be due for every $2 you earn over $22,320 in 2024. However, the rules say that once you reach your full retirement age, you are due full Social Security benefits even if you are still working, no matter how much money you are making. Let’s follow an example. Let’s say Ed was born in December 1957, which means he’ll reach his full retirement age of 66 and six months in May 2024. And let’s further say Ed generally makes about $80,000 per year and he plans to continue working indefinitely. Based on the earnings penalty rules I briefly outlined above, Ed figures he must wait until May (his full retirement age) to begin collecting his Social Security benefits. As I said, at that magical point the earnings penalty rules no longer apply, and he can get his Social Security. And prior to that, he’s making way more than the $22,320 income threshold. But here is why Ed should check into applying for Social Security in January.

Congress set up a more lenient earnings threshold for the year you reach your full retirement age. Specifically, it says you can earn up to $59,520 between January and the month you reach your full retirement age and still get Social Security benefits. And even if you earn more than $59,520, you lose only $1 from your benefits for every $3 you exceed that threshold. Let’s say Ed is going to make about $27,000 between January and April (i.e., before he reaches the magic age of 66 and 6 months in May). That’s under the $59,520 threshold for 2024, which means Ed is due benefits beginning in January. He does NOT have to wait until May to apply for his Social Security checks. But there is a bit of a catch. By starting his benefits in January, Ed will be accepting a slightly reduced amount. (Benefits are reduced roughly one-half of 1% for each month they are taken before full retirement age.) If Ed’s Social Security benefit at full retirement age is $2,500 per month, let’s look at his options. Ed’s first option is to wait until May to start his Social Security benefits. He’ll get $2,500 per month for seven months or $17,500 for the year 2024. Ed’s second option is to file for Social Security in January. Starting his benefits slightly early, his monthly rate is reduced to about $2,450. That comes out to $29,400 in total benefits for the year 2024. The downside to option No. 2 is his ongoing monthly benefit rate will be $50 less than what he would have been getting in option one. But because he’d be getting about $11,900 less in 2024 benefits in option No. 1, it would take Ed a long time to make up that loss with his extra $50 per month in ongoing benefits. Even if Ed was going to make more than the $59,520 income threshold between January and April, he only loses one dollar in Social Security benefits for each three dollars he exceeds that amount. So, he still might come out ahead by filing in January. Here is a quick example using that scenario. Let’s say Ed will make $65,000 between January and April. That’s $5,480 over the $59,520 limit. And onethird of that excess, or $1,827, must be deducted from his 2024 benefits. But he would still get $27,573 in benefits for the year. That’s still way better than the $17,500 he would be due by waiting until May to file for his Social Security. Please note that this strategy generally only works for those who turn full retirement age in early- to mid-2024 and whose earnings prior to reaching FRA are at least close to the $59,520 limit. In other words, if you will make a lot more than $59,520 before your full retirement age, or if you reach your FRA later in the year, you should probably just wait until your FRA month to file for your Social Security benefits.

I know these rules are complicated and the math in the examples above might be difficult to follow. But my overall message is easy to follow: If you’re reaching your full retirement age in early- to mid-2024, you might want to talk to a Social Security representative

sometime this month to find out if it’s to your advantage to file for your benefits to start in January. One word of caution. Many readers in the past told me that when they tried Continued on next page

Protecting your home while there or away is critical BY PHILIP A. RAICES As I am writing this week’s column our first snow of the winter is happening, hooray! Now that our weather is getting a bit colder as winter should be, I think back to 15-20 years ago when I was showing clients some homes on the North Shore of Long Island. It had been extremely frigid during that week. We approached the home and opened the screen door and with my very acute hearing, I heard something that I always feared and dreaded during the winter season, the unfortunate gushing sound of water inside someone’s home. As I opened the door it was the shock of seeing it streaming down from the ceiling and several feet of water on the floor. I immediately called the person in charge and said that they had better call a plumber ASAP as the home was being flooded. It was a sad situation for my clients but for me too, as they were seriously interested in purchasing that specific home. We both felt bad, but unfortunately, that home wasn’t going to work for them. But years later, meeting my clients who had purchased another home from me, we had laughs thinking back and retelling the story of that moment in time. Oil had been about $4.50 per gallon at that time, so I think the homeowner might have been trying to save money, turning down their thermostat way too low, or possibly their furnace malfunctioned. Ever since then and in past columns I had written, I warned people who were going away for any length of time to either drain the water from their boiler, water heater and all house pipes, so in the event of severely cold temperatures, there wouldn’t be any

damage. So don’t be penny-wise and pound-foolish! Keep your thermostat set at no lower than 55 degrees which should eliminate any major issues. However, the north side of your home is where it is the coldest and where the least amount of sun/warmth is (the sun comes up in the east, goes south, and then sets in the west). So any pipes located on that side of the home should be well insulation. However, you can purchase special wiring that can be wrapped around those exposed pipes and plugged into an outlet; whether inside or especially outside to prevent them from freezing. Technology is significantly advanced today so that you can be anywhere in the world and can control almost everything in your home from your cell. It enables you to virtually observe anyone on your property, adjust your heat, and lighting, and even be made aware if you have a leak, which will call your plumber in an emergency to come over and do the repair; to a blaze that will alert and notify your local fire department. When planning to build your new dream home, you can easily create a complete and comprehensive plan to install the most up-to-date technology devices/cameras to keep your home safe from thieves, (will call the police) water damage, save on energy with free electricity (solar panels) as well as the standard protection detectors

to file in January, Social Security Administration representatives told them they could not do so. Sadly, far too many SSA agents are unfamiliar with how these rules work. If you run into the same problem, ask to speak to a supervisor. If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has two books with all the answers. One is called “Social Security -- Simple and Smart: 10 Easy-to-Understand Fact Sheets That Will Answer All Your Questions About Social Security.” The other is “Social Security: 100 Myths and 100 Facts.” You can find the books at Amazon.com or other book outlets.

In New York State and Massachusetts, there has been legislation that has mandated fire sprinklers in all 1, 2, and 3-story buildings. Construction of new 1 and 2-family homes is also required to provide buyers the mandatory option of installing a fire sprinkler system. Only California and Maryland mandate fire sprinkler systems in all new construction. However, some states have permitted municipalities to mandate them. On January 1, 2011, Maryland began enforcing a law that required all new 1 and 2-family homes to have fire sprinklers.

Smart Ways to Save Money on Pet Care BY MARY HUNT Recently, I read about a family who spent $1,000 to cat-proof their backyard so their two cats, who they consider fullfledged family members, could roam outside without escaping to the outside world. And that’s not all. Their felines also have lots of cat furniture, and they regularly dine on cat food that costs north of $7 per pound. Perhaps you spoil your pets, too. There are plenty of ways to save money on pet care. For example, you can feed them expensive food, but make sure you buy it on sale. And then buy enough to last until the next sale. Instead of paying the big bucks for furniture or beds, make them yourself. There are plenty of how-tos online for those willing to make the effort. Here are some more ways to save money on your pets.

FRUGAL CHOICES

When selecting a pet, it’s wise to think beyond cuteness or breed. According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, a large dog will likely require an average yearly food allowance of $225, while a bird’s diet is only $75 per year. Rabbits and guinea pigs like fresh bedding, which adds up to $415 per year, while a self-cleaning cat will cost you only $165 a year for litter, on average. Here’s another surprising fact when

considering which pet you’ll adopt: Recurring yearly exams and vaccinations range from $210 to $265 on average for dogs and $160 on average for cats.

ADOPT INSTEAD OF BUYING

Breeder prices for dogs are many times higher than the cost of adopting from a shelter. Sure, there will be expenses and fees involved with adopting -- but they will be so much less, plus you’ll be saving a life.

LOYALTY CLUBS

Stores such as Petco, not unlike every supermarket on earth, have loyalty rewards programs. And they have sales. You need to be a loyalty club member to get in on the goodies. It’s worth the effort to join. In fact, join several of these programs so you have options. Then watch the sales, and take full advantage of every savings opportunity.

HUMAN FOOD Feed your pets all the human food your vet or other pet professional approves and or recommends. Animal Planet says that baked carrots, steamed broccoli and eggs are safe and healthy for cats to eat -- and much cheaper than cat food.

PET FOOD STORAGE

Some pets are picky about what they’ll eat. I don’t have a cat, but I’ve learned that felines are known to refuse food if it’s too old because it’s been left out. No matter which pets you have, keep an eye

on those expiration dates. Refrigerate as necessary, and even look into freezing pet food, especially if you are able to stock up when the good stuff goes on sale.

SPAY AND NEUTER

The decision to spay or neuter has a number of implications, according to blogger and pet owner Len Penzo. Spaying or neutering is better for your pet’s health, which saves you money in the long run. Neutered male dogs live 18% longer than unneutered ones, while spayed female dogs live 23% longer than their intact counterparts. Unspayed cats have been known to damage furniture and carpet by spraying urine on them to attract males. Unneutered dogs can be violent, resulting in injuries or even lawsuits, if they attack people. There’s also the obvious huge cost of not fixing those pets: puppies and kittens.

PET INSURANCE

Unexpected vet bills can be the most expensive part of owning a pet. Insurance is certainly an option, but choose wisely. Like all insurance, pet insurance is a gamble. It’s likely that you will spend more over the course of your animal’s life on monthly premiums, if your pet remains healthy Can’t quite pony up to those big monthly premiums? Create your own insurance. Determine to deposit a set amount of money each month into a special sav-

ings account you create for pet health care. Never miss. Should your pet require expensive care, you’ll have the money to cover the cost. And if not, you will have built up a nice nest egg.

Garden Resolutions BY JEFF RUGG Do you ever wonder why some of the plants you were taking care of died? Usually, for me, it is my fault for not putting the plant in the proper growing conditions for it to thrive. Want to learn more about growing plants in the proper location? Make a New Year’s resolution to learn more about gardening. Resolve to take a gardening class with your local Extension office which is part of your state university. All year long they offer local classes on many gardening subjects. (Don’t forget the Greener View YouTube channel has over 300 videos on gardening, landscap-

ing and houseplants.) Another aspect of the learning process is to go and see what others are doing. If you can’t plan your vacation around a garden show, at least visit arboretums and gardens near your destination. With the start of a new year, we get to reflect on the changes we want to make in our lives. Many gardeners enjoy the seasonal changes in the landscape and enjoy making changes to our gardens. Even in the middle of winter, we are thinking about gardening and planning on making changes as we get each new garden catalog in the mail. To help your garden and landscape grow better and healthier this year, I have a few more suggested resolutions. Repeat after me: I resolve to plant more flowers. They will make my life happier, and they will help hummingbirds and honeybees. I resolve to add at least one shrub to my flower beds to increase the chances of birds nesting in my yard and to decrease the size of the lawn that I have to mow. I resolve to grow some extra vegetables

that can be given away. You can learn more about growing food for your neighbors at gardencomm.org/PAR. This is a program called Plant a Row for the Hungry. It has helped contribute more than 20 million pounds of fresh vegetables to food pantries. I resolve to add more mulch to my flower beds, which will decrease weeds, saving me money on weed-killers and protecting the environment from useless weed-killer applications. I resolve to take the money-wasting mulch off the trunks of my trees so that they stop looking like the mountain of mulch is holding the tree up. Mulch piled on tree trunks kills trees, it doesn’t help them. I resolve to save time and money by pruning my trees and shrubs in their natural shapes, not goofy squares and balls. I resolve to find out what disease or insect is affecting my plant before I pollute my yard with poisons that are used for treating something else. Saying “It can’t hurt” isn’t really true. I resolve to mow my grass at a higher

height. The longer leaves will support a better root system, so it will need less water and fight off weeds better. I resolve to start a compost pile and add to it regularly so that I don’t have to waste money buying compost to add to my garden. I resolve to take my power tools and lawnmower for servicing and sharpening. Properly adjusted tools pollute less and sharp tools work better, making them safer. Lastly, I resolve to enjoy my garden more by eating outside more often, strolling through the yard to smell the flowers without pulling any weeds, and having at least one party with family and friends over to enjoy the garden too.

Visit the Pleiades and Taurus ... and That’s No Bull! BY DENNIS MAMMANA Week of Jan. 14-20, 2024 The moon returns to our evening sky this week. It begins its trek as a thin crescent in the southwestern sky at dusk and ends the week as a bright gibbous moon high in the east. Before it becomes too bright, however, I encourage you to head outdoors and check out the early evening stars. If your sky is relatively free from light pollution, you’ll surely spot a hazy smudge of light high in the east just after dark. This is the Pleiades star cluster; it’s also known as the Seven Sisters because the stars here represent the seven daughters of Atlas and Pleione from ancient Greek mythology. Most people looking at the Pleiades with the unaided eye see can six stars rather than seven, and even these can be tough to count if your eyesight and sky conditions aren’t the best. But this star cluster offers an interesting demonstration of just how your eyes work under low illumination. Try this experiment. Gaze directly into the center of the Pleiades. You may be surprised to discover that the cluster nearly or completely vanishes! Now cast your gaze just a tiny bit off to the side of the Pleiades. What happens now?

Amazing how you can see it more clearly when you don’t look directly at it! This “averted vision” technique is one that astronomers use regularly to see faint objects in the sky. It works because the eye’s color-sensing “cones” (near the central part of the retina) are not activated unless incoming light is sufficiently bright. When you avert your vision just slightly, you’re focusing the faint light onto the eye’s gray sensors (known as the “rods”). These see faint light quite well but, of course, do not register any color. As faint as the Pleiades is, you may be shocked to learn that this cluster can be seen easily in broad daylight. That’s right; just look around any parking lot for a Subaru and examine its emblem! Below the Pleiades lies the constellation of Taurus, the bull, on whose back this cluster is said to ride. Seeing an image of a bull isn’t possible, of course, but you will notice a V-shaped grouping of stars known as the Hyades. It represents the head of the bull, with the orange star Aldebaran marking its “fiery red eye.” Aldebaran is not actually part of the Hyades cluster but lies closer to us and only coincidentally appears along the same line of sight. From the Hyades, you can trace the bull’s two long horns extending off to the north, where they intersect the constellation of Auriga. Here we find the

bright star Capella. The ancient Greeks often depicted Auriga as a charioteer with a whip in one hand and a goat and her kids in the other. You can spend your night searching for this character if you wish, but I find it easier to see a slightly distorted pentagon of five stars or, if you prefer, the Chrysler logo.

Don’t wait too long to visit with these stars, though, because by the end of the week the moon’s brilliance will obliterate most of them from view. Visit Dennis Mammana at dennismammana.com. COPYRIGHT 2024 CREATORS.COM

If you look just slightly away from Pleiades, you’ll be able to see it better. Why? It’s just science!

L O S T I N S U B U R B I A

Top of the Pops BY TRACY BECKERMAN One of the treats my husband and I love is having popcorn when we watch a movie at home. But after reading some negative reviews about microwave popcorn, I thought hot air-popped popcorn would be a better alternative. Is it as yummy as microwave popcorn? Honestly, no. But I thought it would be healthier and tasty in a Styrofoampacking-material kind of way. Although there were plenty of hot air popcorn poppers to choose from on the internet, I decided to pick one up while I was out running my other errands so we would have it for our movie night that weekend, or at the very least, be able to pop some packing materials for some late Christmas gifts I still had to mail out. Unfortunately, some other people must have read the same articles I did because the first two stores I went to

were completely sold out of hot air popcorn poppers. The third store had a fancy version for several hundred dollars, which, I assumed, must have popped gold bullions along with the popcorn. The fourth store had a couple of poppers left in one brand. There was one problem: It was, without a doubt, most definitely, the ugliest hot air popcorn popper on the face of the planet. Maybe in the whole hot-air popcorn-popping universe. It was red-and-white-striped plastic and it looked like a box of popcorn you’d get at a circus. I assumed the idea was to make you feel like you were actually at a circus. However, since there were no elephants dancing in my house, clowns getting out of cars in my garage, or people in tights swinging from my chandeliers, I just didn’t see the need to have a popcorn popper that was trying to recreate a circus atmosphere. Had it been just a little bit more

over the top, it might have been fun and kitschy and retro. But since it was trying so hard to look like a real box of circus popcorn, it was neither fun nor kitschy. It was just really kind of tacky. However, there were no other options and I was out of time, so I bought it. I figured we could all have a good laugh about it whenever we made popcorn, and if we had company, it was compact enough that I could hide it under the sink so no one would know we were desperate enough to buy such an ugly appliance. Of course, I was less concerned with what our company might think than what my husband would say. He is not a big fan of retro and definitely less of a fan of ugly appliances. I was pretty sure he would veto the popcorn popper and insist that I bring it back to whichever clown sold it to me. I managed to keep the popper hidden from him until the weekend, and

then when movie night rolled around, I announced that I had gotten a hot air popcorn popper and would make some for us. I plunked the machine on the counter and fired it up. I waited for my husband to notice the circus elephant in the room, but he seemed oblivious. Finally, I brought the popcorn over to him. As he grabbed a couple of handfuls and chowed down, I said, “You didn’t say anything about the popcorn popper. What do you think?” He looked over at the red-and-whitestriped appliance and shrugged. “It’s OK,” he said. “But the popcorn tastes like styrofoam.” Tracy Beckerman is the author of the Amazon Bestseller, “Barking at the Moon: A Story of Life, Love, and Kibble,” available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble online!

Comfort foods often are on the minds of home cooks when the mercury drops. Rich and savory dishes that warm from the inside can chase away the chills of winter weather and bring the entire family together around the table. Spaghetti is often paired with meatballs and covered in marinara sauce as an ideal comfort dish. But there’s much more to

this pasta, and it can be enjoyed in many different ways. In this recipe for “Chicken Spaghetti” courtesy of Ree Drummond, who is known as the “The Pioneer Woman,” on Food Network, spaghetti is paired with several ingredients and baked into a tasty casserole that can easily accommodate a crowd.

Makes 8 servings

1 4-ounce jar diced pimentos, drained 2 cups reserved chicken broth from pot 1 teaspoon Lawry’s Seasoned Salt 1⁄8 teaspoon to 1⁄4 teaspoon cayenne pepper Salt and pepper, to taste 1 cup additional grated sharp cheddar cheese

2 cups cooked chicken 3 cups spaghetti, uncooked and broken into two-inch pieces 2 cans cream of mushroom soup 2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese 1⁄4 cup finely diced green pepper 1⁄4 finely diced onion 1. Cook one cut up fryer chicken and pick out the meat to make two cups. 2. Cook spaghetti in same chicken broth until al dente. Do not overcook. When spaghetti is cooked, combine with remaining ingredients except additional 1 cup sharp cheddar.

3. Place mixture in casserole pan and top with remaining sharp cheddar. Cover and freeze up to six months, cover and refrigerate up to two days, or bake immediately: 350º F for 45 minutes until bubbly. (If the cheese on top starts to get too cooked, cover with foil.)

Sanitation Collection during a snow event

To facilitate safe garbage collections, a clear path should be made from the sidewalk to where the garbage is kept. If this is not possible, it is suggested that the garbage be carried to the curb for pickup and returned promptly after the collection is completed.

Spotted Lanternfly nests

Although we’re moving into the coldest part of Winter, trees are always on our mind! For now is the time to be proactive against the spotted lanternfly! Since they are now dormant, it’s a perfect time to inspect your trees for the lantern fly nests. As pictured below, these nests look like little mud packs on your tree trunks. If you see signs of these nests on your trees and shrubs, we urge you

to scrape them off and destroy them. Scraping and destroying egg masses this winter will help decrease the number of spotted lanternfly that hatch next spring. In addition to trees and shrubs, spotted lanternfly also lay egg masses on other smooth surfaces outside, including campers, grills, boats, and sheds. An egg mass will be tan or brown and have the consistency of mud. If you find an egg mass, scrape it off with a credit card, place it in a Ziploc bag, and add rubbing alcohol to the bag to destroy the eggs. Each egg mass can contain up to 60 eggs, so egg mass scraping can effectively manage spotted lanternfly on your property!

Ten-week sessions will begin the week of January 22nd. You must be a resident to register. Program fee is $290 per class.

Wise Mind Psychological Services offers an array of therapeutic programs, but their specialty lies In the area of DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.) The group, which began its private practices in Rockville Centre, recently branched out to their new Garden City office, which is located at 401 Franklin Avenue. Dr. Rachel Bowley, Clinical Director at Wise Mind Psychological Services, said that DBT is a comprehensive treatment for both individuals and group therapy programs. “Dialectical Behavioral therapy is a specialized cognitive behavioral treatment that focuses on skills such as emotional regulation, mindfulness, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness,” said Dr Bowley. “We provide individual psychotherapy as well s group skills training classes to help people learn and use new skills and strategies to develop a life worth living.” Dr Bowley, a Merrick resident, opened the Wise Mind private practices in Rockville Centre in 2019. She said that due to the influx of new patients, both virtually and in-person, the group sought a move to a bigger office space to accommodate the clientele. “We looked at a few locations but we really liked the village of Garden City because of the strong community ties and good connections within the school district.” The private practice has over twenty trained professionals on staff, including psychologists, social workers, mental health counselors and multiple behav-

The Garden City team after a successful day at the Glen Cove tournament. The Garden City High School wrestling squad closed out 2023 with a fourth place finish at the nineteam Glen Cove Charles McCullough Tournament, held two days after Christmas. The event was won convincingly by St. John the Baptist, while the Trojans finished behind Port Washington and edged out Jericho for fourth. Garden City had nine individual place winners and was led by junior captain Nick Griffin (131 lbs), who was named the tournament’s Most Outstanding Wrestler. Griffin won the 131 lb title with a 14-0 win over his opponent. Also, earning an individual championship was freshman Eric Chen (116 lbs), who bested his foe 11-6 in the title match. Two additional Garden City wrestlers advanced to their respective championship matches, but came up just short and finished 2nd -- sophomore

Anthony Pica (138 lbs) and sophomore Gabe Cohen (145 lbs). Others reaching the podium for Garden City at Glen Cove were sophomore Kyle Walsh (4th at 170 lbs), freshman Vin Lattuca (5th at 108 lbs), freshman Matteo Ingrassia (5th at 152 lbs), junior Jack Cicione (5th at 170 lbs), and freshman Luke Agrippina (6th at 215 lbs). Also, junior Bennett Griffin (138 lbs) recorded one win before being eliminated. After the new year, the Trojans hosted the Roosevelt Rough Riders in a conference matchup and jumped out to a 39-0 lead before holding on for a 39-33 win. Amazingly, Garden City won the first seven matches and then lost the last six! GC accepted a forfeit at 101 lbs, recorded five pins (Lattuca, Chen, N. Griffin, Pica, and Cohen), and added in an important decision by junior Connor Wellbrock (124 lbs) to secure the victory.

Nick Griffin sizes up his opponent from Port Washington.

Earlier this week, Garden City faced off against Levittown Division in a must win matchup for the right to participate in the Nassau County Dual Meet Championship, and also competed against Roslyn. This weekend will be a busy one as well as Cohen, N. Griffin, and Pica will represent Garden City at the prestigious Eastern States Classic at SUNY

Sullivan -- which includes competitors from eight states and more than 160 schools. Meanwhile, the balance of the team will head to the Scarsdale (NY) Invitational and see how they measure up against wrestlers from nearly two dozen schools. Good luck to all of the boys this weekend!
