UVA prof featured at environmental sustainability event

FENCERS PARRY WHEATLEY

BY RIKKI MASSAND On Wednesday evening January 10 at Village Hall, co-chairs of the Environmental Advisory Board (EAB) Mayor Mary Carter Flanagan and Trustee Michele Harrington, along with EAB members, welcomed students and young professionals from Garden City to share their experiences sustainability, clean energy and environmental justice. The featured guest speaker for the 2024 Sustainability Roundtable was University of Virginia Professor Dr. James F. Groves, who teaches courses in the Engineering and Society, Materials Science and Engineering departments. One of his UVA students is Garden City native Caroline Flanagan, the daughter of Mayor Carter Flanagan, who is completing her degree in Mechanical Engineering. Groves brought up the demand on industrial agricultural infrastructure, as a high yield of crops is achieved only with tremendous pressure on land use, fresh water, plus the use of See page 43

GCHS: Environmental Library Board discusses technology research in action costs, upcoming budget process BY RIKKI MASSAND

BY RIKKI MASSAND The Garden City Public Library Board of Trustees held its first meeting of the new year on Monday January 8, and scheduled a library budget work session meeting for Monday, January 22 at 7:30 p.m. in the lower level’s large conference

room. The work session is open to the public. Library Director Marianne Malagon shared some updates on the process ahead for budget development prior to presenting the proposed budget to the village Board of Trustees in March. Starting with the GCPL Technology Equipment account,

which generally includes computers, printers and servers, additional software, consulting equipment and other items, there are previously-funded items that were left incomplete. A major point of discussion during the meeting a proposed contract with a technology partner, and whether or not that cost See page 20

The new year of meetings at Village Hall started with multiple inspiring stories and ideas as young adults and teens met during the Environmental Advisory Board’s third annual Sustainability Roundtable, held January 10. The evening was moderated by Sabrina Diaz, a Garden City High School alumna and currently a junior-year student at Lehigh University. Diaz is majoring in civil engineering and political science.

A WORD FROM THE PUBLISHER

Remember in November

As we head towards our final press deadline on Thursday morning, the Town of Hempstead is holding its first scoping session to set the parameters for the environmental impact study of the proposed casino in Uniondale. Although the agreement to lease the property is currently on hold pending a lawsuit between Nassau County and Hofstra University, the Town of Hempstead decided to go forward with the environmental review process anyway. Throughout this whole process so far, we’ve been disheartened by the attitudes of some elected officials regarding the casino. When the county held hearings on whether to enter into the 99 year lease,

many people on both sides of the issue spoke. There were those who praised the project because they believe it will be an economic boon to the region. But there were also many many nearby residents who spoke because they are deeply concerned that a mammoth casino will cause mammoth problems. In spite of the substantial opposition, the county legislature voted 17-1 in favor of the casino. We got the impression that the legislature considered it a “done deal” even before the vote. If the Town of Hempstead officials similarly appear to disregard residents’ environmental concerns, well just remember that November is only ten months away.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Email: Editor@GCNews.com

All viewpoints matter

To the Editor: As the Community Agreement Party (CAP) candidates, we are proud to be running for Village Trustee. We are a diverse group, with different experiences and perspectives. And, while we may have different viewpoints on many issues, we share one common value, which is why we are running for Trustee. The foundation of Garden City is one of a special community – based on community spirit, respect and a sense that we are all working together. It seems to us that some of that has been lost, with divisiveness, politicking, and the exclusion of opposing views all becoming the norm of how the Village operates. This must change if we are to renew our sense of community and be able to collaboratively face the challeng-

es of the future. What is our focus? • All residents matter – seniors, school families, new residents – and should be listened to and respected • Develop a renewed sense of community – engaging residents in positive ways and ensuring community events continue • Return to the high standards our residents expect – clean streets, a vibrant downtown, and a modern infrastructure • Resolve St. Paul’s in a truly open and action-oriented way • Strongly oppose the proposed Sands development and Casino • Plan for the future by creating a forward-looking master plan, incorporating all residents’ thoughts of what See page 27

Next week brings the annual return of Garden City’s renowned Parent University. This in-person learning event is slated for the evening of Wednesday, January 24, at the Garden City High School from 6:30-9:30 p.m. Parent University is put on collaboratively with support from the Garden City school district, Garden City PTA, Garden City SEPTA, GC Teachers Association, TMA, and GC Friends of Music. Sessions feature important topics for parents at all grade levels, taught by experts from within the District, from among fellow community members, as well as outside. This year’s event features a dozen different learning sessions addressing some of the most important issues for parents of K-12 students today. “The Garden City PTA has always been dedicated to bringing the community together through our schools,” said Donna Kraus, GCPTA president. “Parent University is a keystone of that effort every year, connecting parents and educators in a forum that’s open,

informative and fun. We’re confident every GC parent could look through this year’s schedule and find multiple workshop sessions they’d like to attend. We hope to see them all on the 24th!” Highlights of the planned sessions for 2024 include: • Keeping Kids Smart & Safe Online, presented by Megan F a r r e l l , Assistant US District Attorney and GC parent • Food for Thought: Keeping our Children’s Bodies and Brains Healthy, presented by Maria Sorbara Mora, registered dietician and GC parent

• Recog-nizing and Addressing Stress and Anxiety in Children, presented by Laura Campbell, Crisis Counselor • Getting Into College: Preparing Your Family for Today’s Admissions Landscape, presented by Jeannie Kennedy & Katie Schweitzer, G C H S Counselors • C h a n g e Doesn’t Have to Be Hard, a series of sessions on transitioning between elementary, middle and high school • Making Math Feel Second Nature with the Right Mindsets, presented by GCUFSD’s math experts

• Reading and Writing Adventures: Building Family Literacy Together, presented by GCUFSD’s literacy experts and a community member who sits on the District’s Literacy Committee For the first time, Parent University workshops are now broken up into ‘tracks’ designed to help parents easily identify the programming curated especially for those with older vs. younger students, or for all ages. Every aspect of Parent University is free to community members. However, the planning committee highly encourages advance registration for all workshops to ensure appropriate space and materials are available for each session. Full descriptions of every workshop and the times it will be offered are detailed online at https://gardencitypta.org/ parent-university. Links and instructions for session-specific registration can also be found directly on this site.

THIS WEEK AT ROTARY Garden City Mayor to Speak Next Tuesday, Jan. 23

All are welcome to join Mineola Garden City Rotary next Tuesday, January 23, 12:15, at Mineola’s Davenport Press restaurant, when Rotary will be honored to welcome as guest speaker, Garden City Mayor Mary Carter Flanagan. Rotary looks forward to hearing our mayor’s report on current Village issues, concerns and initiatives. Mary Carter Flanagan has served as Garden City’s Mayor since April 2023, having previously served for two years as a Village Trustee. Mary grew up in Garden City graduating from Garden City High School in 1986. She had returned with her husband to the Village where they have raised their family. Noting her family ties to Garden City, Mary reports that her father had also grown up in Garden City, having graduated from Garden City High School in 1954. Mary is a graduate of the University of Virginia and St. John’s University School of Law. When her youngest child graduated from Garden City High School in 2020, Mary says she turned her attention to serving the Village. Passionate about giving back to the community, she ran for Village Trustee as one of the founders of the For a Better Garden City Party. Mary has focused her attention on quality-of -life issues which include addressing traffic concerns, prioritizing the Village tree program, and raising awareness on environmental matters. Mary reports that most recently, she has begun real progress on the future of the St. Paul’s Main Building, having held a Public Opinion Poll in October of 2023, which has focused the Board of Trustees on a path towards identifying a St. Paul’s project that would preserve part or all of the building. That aspect of the Opinion Poll had wide support from the community, and Mary believes is a plan that can be executed. Mary says she looks forward to speaking with Rotary about the many initiatives currently underway in the Village which include the safe removal, protection and storage or St. Paul’s beautiful stained glass chapel windows. Rotary will be pleased to welcome members of both the business and residential for this special presentation

Garden City Mayor Mary Carter Flanagan to speak on Garden City’s quality of life issues and current initiatives next Tuesday, January 23. (lunch fee $40). To reserve, please email Meg Norris, Rotary co-president, at editor@gcnews.com. Rotary lunch meetings are held throughout the year on 2nd and 4th Tuesdays in a private dining room at Mineola’s Davenport Press restaurant. Guests are always welcome as well as membership in Mineola-Garden City Rotary. Membership is open to representatives from both the business and residential communities, including corporations, schools and houses of worship. For details, please email Meg Norris, Club co-president, at editor@ gcnews.com.

Protect your home and family from mother nature with Boccia basement waterproofing systems. Us patent No. 4.879.851 on our exclusively designed drainage systems

You’ve heard of a “baby bump” - well, Garden City now has the “Seventh Street Hump.” The first time I drove over it - what a thrill! After that, not so much. Was this necessary? Well, if it slows traffic down and is safer for pedestrians then “yes.” Not to mention the new drainage system there and sidewalk extensions with new pavers (which put the old pavers in the area to shame). However, what got me was the amount of signage up and down Seventh Street to announce - a crosswalk! There are signs as you approach and once there, there are more signs with arrows telling you “hey, you’re there!” It’s almost as if the Village hired a consultant who instructed them to put up all these signs. Oh wait, they did! The real irony of all of this is that people have been crossing Seventh Street for well over a hundred years. The vast majority of those crossing the street do so wherever they want and don’t use the crosswalk. Hey, it’s only our tax dollars.

What’s New Book Club

Alyssa Vitez, President

Meet the Board!

Alyssa Vitez, President

When did you move to Garden City and why did you choose our village? We moved to Garden City in June 2018 after spending a few years in Kansas City. We fell in love with the downtown, the walkability to the parks and restaurants and the overall sense of community. After just one visit, we knew this is where we wanted to raise our family. What is one of your favorite things about living here? The Welcoming Club is such a unique tradition. I love that it brings together newcomers and offers a variety of events and clubs for all residents to enjoy. It really creates an inviting atmosphere. What is one thing you enjoy most about being on the board of The Welcoming Club? Being on the board has allowed me to give back to an organization that gave me so much. Moving to a town where I didn’t know anyone, the Welcoming Club gave me an instant set of familiar faces around town. What is your favorite restaurant in town? Does The French Workshop count? I have such a sweet tooth and it’s my favorite spot to take my kids.

The February book for the next Book Club is “Cassandra in Reverse” by Holly Smale: If you had the power to change the past, where would you start? Cassandra is a creature of habit. She likes what she likes and strongly dislikes what she doesn’t. Her life runs in a pleasing, predictable order…until now. Book Club will be held on Tuesday, February 27, at 7:30 p.m. Please RSVP to welcomingclubbookclub@gmail. com for more information and location details.

Enjoy a good book amongst friends. The book club meets every 6 weeks to discuss the page-turner of choice. For upcoming book club events, please email WelcomingClubBookClub@ gmail.com.

Trump’s overwhelming victory, and the road forward. The Iowa caucus procedure is certainly different from an ordinary United States election, in ways that are both good and bad. You have to show up at the caucus location and spend a number of hours in support of your chosen candidate. This year, a trip to a caucus meant braving subzero temperatures, but even in somewhat warmer weather, it takes a fairly serious or committed voter to participate. There is something to be said for a process that puts a premium on dedication to a candidate, in comparison with just showing up to vote or mailing in a ballot. On the other hand, there are reasons why use of caucuses should be limited. The structure obviously makes participation by certain portions of the electorate quite difficult. Among groups less likely to be involved in a caucus are the elderly, parents with children and people who work at night. It was an easy victory for Mr. Trump, who won around 51% of the tabulated vote, with 21% for Ron DeSantis and 19% for Nikki Haley.

won’t be leaving immediately. Mr. Trump will be marginally helped out by the departure from the race of Vivek Ramaswamy, who immediately endorsed Mr. Trump. If Ms. Haley does pull out an upset victory in New Hampshire, she will gain some momentum, and certainly will be touting her message that she is the most electable candidate. Still, it would be an uphill climb in the conservative next state, South Carolina, even though this is Ms. Haley’s home state, and ultimately in the Super Tuesday races in early March. The basic problem for all candidates not named Donald J Trump is that Mr. Trump has very broad support among Republicans in national surveys. According to the Real Clear Politics averages, Mr. Trump has 61.4% support for the GOP nomination, Ms. Haley has 12.0, and Mr. DeSantis 10.7. That is quite a deficit to overcome. Of course, while the Iowa caucus victory puts Mr. Trump very much on the road to being nominated, the general election is quite another matter. Indeed, while the mainstream media was rather unusually singing Mr. Trump’s praises as a candidate this week, many Democrats would prefer that Mr. Trump be nominated on the theory that he is the weakest candidate against President Biden. Although Mr. Biden appears to be a weak incumbent with a very low approval rating and a competence issue, Mr. Trump is deeply disliked by much of the country as well. The obvious wildcard is whether (and how) the four criminal trials will play out in 2024. While Iowa could be viewed as Mr. Trump’s first step on the possible path back to the White House, it will be a long and perilous journey

It’s Different This Time

Friday, January 19, 2024 The Garden City News

Library Board discusses technology costs, budget From page 1 would come from the Library’s budget or the Village of Garden City’s tech budget. “We have a couple of construction projects we’ve been working on for a few years. Things that have evolved like servers in the cloud became complex but our physical projects were completed – the Children’s Room Renovation features much new technology. Some other technology in the library was not accomplished since the bandwidth to do them isn’t there. But we are planning to ask (the village) for zero technology dollars this year, so we can close out previous projects we’ve been working on, though the $124,000 in surplus from prior budgets and with expenses we have, need or have encumbered we should be able to cover those items under $124,000. That money could go towards equipment or an outside vendor that might need to run data lines,” Director Malagon said. One of the existing, previously-funded library capital projects was an office computer wiring project, “to make the library more optimized for space” for $16,000. This would create costs for GCPL from the combo of labor, materials and equipment. Library Board Chairman J. Randolph Colahan said there are already certain surplus funds accrued that the library is “counting on to use” for projects. Village Board Trustee Bruce Torino is the official liaison with the Library Board. During the meeting he spoke about a ‘walkabout’ that he, Mayor Mary Carter Flanagan, Deputy Mayor Bruce Chester, Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi and others took at the library on December 29. “If you want to have done what was indicated (capital investments/projects) you better put it in a different format than when we had the walkabout. In my first run as a village trustee (over 20 years ago) the budget included projects prioritized in 1-2-3 order. That explains what 1) what you really need and the purpose for it 2) what you want and 3) what you can defer. When putting together the wish list I suggest that it should be concise, organize it in a particular order of projects. The advocacy will be based on what you give me. Please share, why does something have to be done in a particular order? You can’t make the meal unless you have the ingredients,” Torino said. Library Trustee Colleen Foley, who also previously served on the Village Board from April 2018 through March 2022, explained that the tour provided real-time pictures and explanations of some facilities items at GCPL, but it wasn’t about providing the village offi-

cials with documentation on-site. Foley brought up prior budget years’ technology projects for GCPL, which she believes need to be completed soon in order for the library to move forward. She sought comments from Trustee Torino on how they can be effectively presented. Torino suggested a Venn diagram, commenting, “the question here could be what is overlapping and what is stand-alone?” He noticed the new lighting and cameras with photoelectric cells on the corner of GCPL as one example of a security upgrade. Foley again considered the technology upgrades that have been previously presented and budgeted for, and she commented on the need for the new equipment and functionality sooner rather than later. “We (GCPL) are this unicorn that works with the village and the library building is owned by the village but there isn’t another department or area operating like this. Before, there was a conversation about a bid with Total Technology Solutions (now Sourcepass) with Administrator Suozzi and folding us into that Village of Garden City contractual support. That would represent a village expense that would greatly help with our budget if it was not allocated from the Library budget – the village doesn’t allocate departmental costs of technology for the Police or Recreation and Parks Department. That all falls under a village umbrella for technology support, and as a substantial relief for us,” she said. Trustee Torino suggested some wording of the forthcoming proposal from GCPL include “an understanding that technology is a function of the village, not only for the Police, Fire and all other departments….according we (GCPL) requests technology advancement and integration be incorporated into a village-funded capital account.” Library Board Chairman Colahan recalled a few years ago when the library’s maintenance costs were not covered by the village’s Department of Public Works budget despite the village being the owner of the building, until the appropriate allocation of funding at Administrator Suozzi’s direction (and Board approval). He says the issue of technology support contractual service will be a parallel situation, and Foley commented that doing so would allow GCPL to focus its funding on library-related matters. Trustee Torino clarified, “if it is a village function and operation” then the village should be allocating the funding without a need for GCPL-specific funds to go towards technology support. Foley added that the village not only See page 42

Members of the community from various career fields participated in the Garden City Environmental Advisory Board’s January 10 Sustainability Roundtable. Residents and students gathered for an evening filled with information, insights and perspectives about various careers for the students. A new resident of Garden City, Neha Wadhwa, attended over Zoom and addressed the EAB’s audience about her fashion industry corporate career, with a focus on sustainability efforts at Ralph Lauren. Wadhwa noted her experience as head of impact strategy and corporate communications for the iconic brand, where she led reporting on the environmental impact Ralph Lauren’s merchandise production has on the climate. She has also corresponded with Mayor Carter Flanagan about some of Garden City’s environmental and sustainability efforts in comparison to NYC. Wadhwa was inspired by the curiosity that Garden City’s young adults have displayed regarding sustainability and environmental advocacy. “Certainly when I was at that age, I didn’t see the same level of interest and action – it is so inspiring to see you all so committed and pursuing many ways to change the world, starting at the community and societal level,” Wadhwa commented. Some of the industry statistics and environmental impacts she shared about the fashion business were eye-opening for the students in the room. “In fashion, in terms of clothing products made there is an estimated range of anywhere from 80 billion to 150 billion clothing items made each year while there are only about 8 billion people on the planet. It’s estimated that up to 50% of clothing items (manufactured) are not even purchased. We know a significant percentage also end up in landfills all around the world. We examine the global impacts of energy use, and at Ralph Lauren we came up with a strategy to benchmark our use across different areas, first with understanding what our uses were and what kinds of waste we were creating… At that point we put a strategy together on how to reduce that, and there was certainly a radical transformation required in terms of business models and how the supply chain is utilized,” Wadhwa said. Sustainability efforts included piloting ways of reducing environmental impacts and partnering with other companies. She offered to provide details on what ways Ralph Lauren worked with other companies when they revolutionized production of denim products, especially reduction of the amount of water used to create pairs of jeans.

“I am happy to discuss the intersection of fashion and sustainability, with the concept of circularity – when we create a product we’ll evaluate what the afterlife of the materials is going to be. Recycling and reusing cardboard boxes is significant… There’s a lot of engineering and technical expertise required within a company and we were looking to hire and improve our understanding across areas of sustainable production, water and energy conservation,” Wadhwa said. Ryan Torres, a lifelong Garden City resident who is now raising her children in the village, addressed the students and EAB members about her work as vice president of Park Operations with the Hugh L. Carey Battery Park City Authority, which is a New York State public benefit corporation. In Battery Park City Torres manages a team of horticulturalists, masons, electricians and janitorial/custodial staff. She also works alongside the many construction projects at the facilities. Most recently the work at Battery Park City included raising the land above sea level (along the Hudson River) for resiliency from severe weather conditions. Battery Park City instituted a Climate Action Plan and has a goal of becoming carbon-neutral by 2050. “I get to manage a great team and we focus on using electric equipment, we compost 100% of everything that comes out of the gardens – we did close to 70,000 pounds of compost last year. We’ve also started a dog waste composting program. In my job I work with many folks on the trades’ side of environmental preparedness and sustainability – masons use permeable pavers and electricians are converting lights to LEDs, and even our janitorial staff is using green cleaning solutions,” she told the EAB. Torres’ family business in Great Neck is in landscaping and gardening work, and she said her interest in the environmental aspects started there. She later attended Farmingdale State University and earned her degree in horticulture. “I began working as the horticulturalist for the Town of North Hempstead, staying on Long Island, and then I took the position in the city. Coming from Long Island and growing up in Garden City I was opposed to work in the urban city environment, but Battery Park City has allowed us to focus on our green spaces, trees and environment,” she noted. Amanda Shore, a professor of Marine Biology at SUNY Farmingdale, discussed sustainability education and career opportunities to work towards See page 42

GCHS: Environmental research in action

From page 1 they’ve studied. The students defined Sustainability as “the ability to maintain an ecological balance in our planet’s natural environment and conserve natural resources to support the wellbeing of current and future generations.” Roisin, a junior, explained that Garden City High School’s Science Research program is an honors course open to all students. For those in their freshman year it is more guided and there’s a regularly-scheduled class; for 10th through 12th graders there is more independence to organize and complete the work assignment. Students present their findings during the annual Science Research Symposium held at GCHS in late May, and for years members of the village Environmental Advisory Board have attended. Roisin Pfaff noted that the Science Research course is “a great way for students to research sustainability within the immediate community, and to work to create sustainable solutions to common problems while improving their understanding of the subject.” Niamh Pfaff, a senior, is in her fourth year of the GCHS Science Research program. She shared how important questions within the fields of technology, transportation, agriculture and waste management helped guide the high schoolers’ projects. For example technology brings up the investigation of rare earth metals that devices are made of and the planned use “of a finite amount of them.” “It may be great to advance the technology you’re currently using but what happens in 20, 30, 40 or more years from now? And on the flip side of it is how do we dispose of technology we’re no longer using? How do we safely get rid of the lithium ion batteries? With transportation, we know about the dangers of greenhouse gas emissions and that’s why many people are buying electric vehicles. In agriculture the use of pesticides is attributed to generating a higher yield of crops and therefore feeding more people – how does it affect our natural sources of water, or how much does it impact other farms with runoff?” she said. One of the less research-intensive projects she worked on at GCHS was making paper recycled from cardboard boxes. Cellulose fibers were extracted as cardboard was blended, and pulp was taken out to put into water; a frame was used to screen the pulp off the water which was then dried on towels. Recently, of the more intensive projects Niamh worked on was examining effects of copper concentration and calcium carbonate by using shells to purify water. Roisin Pfaff said a focus on sustainability and investing in clean and renewable energy, recycling materials and protecting air and water quality

would be the best route to ensure a vibrant economic future. This year her Science Research team is entering the Long Island Water Quality Challenge, which requires creating a green infrastructure project to reduce nitrogen pollution on school grounds. Stormwater runoff on school grounds can transport nitrogen and other contaminants through the watershed. High nitrate levels can also cause toxic algal blooms leading to low-oxygen conditions, potentially killing marine life and degrading wetlands and marine habitats. The winning teams get $2,500 of grant money to be used for the project on school grounds, making the project design an actual, actionable plan. Pfaff says this will encourage students that they can make a difference as they explore sustainability. In her green infrastructure project for the Long Island Water Quality Challenge, Roisin Pfaff and fellow Science Research students are crushing seashells to help mitigate high nitrate levels, building on their copper concentration research. “We’re setting up a simulation using a tank of algal blooms to raise the nitrate levels in the tank, and we will see how seashells can reduce the nitrate concentration. If this is successful, we will make a building material called ‘tabby’ composed of crushed seashells and concrete. Then we’ll see by running water over the material if it reduces nitrate levels,” she noted. Another sustainability goal is the responsible disposal of waste and not increasing water and air pollution. Niamh Pfaff noted that Garden City’s waste processed at the Covanta facility in Hempstead allows it to be recycled as a source of electricity. GCHS’ Science Research teacher Dr. Steven Gordon sat in the audience to observe the discussion on the many facets of sustainability. One of his students, Catherine Clavin, discussed the group’s research on leaves collected in Garden City and how there could be efforts to reuse leaves for composting or other means at home instead of the collections. Students in her group looked up information on the Leafcutter Ant and what ways it uses leaves, and they investigated machinery to take leaves and swiftly create mulch and compost. The students plan to use a 3-D printer to make a prototype machine that mimics the Leafcutter Ant, as well as other functions.

GCHS Hope Club

Several other Garden City High School students also shared details of their initiatives. In October of last year the EAB welcomed new student members Simone Oustatcher and Maeve Smith, who are officers in Garden City High School’s HOPE (Helping Our

Planet Earth) Club. Simone and Maeve share the third student member seat on the EAB for 2023-2024 school year, as each is serving for one semester. Maeve Smith is also EAB member Kelly Smith’s daughter. The high school HOPE club meets on Wednesdays and has a multitude of activities including presentations on endangered species, gardening, and campaigning for increased recycling practices in the community. Maeve Smith explained how the club focuses on environmental advocacy and awareness, but members also volunteer at the Garden City Bird Sanctuary and with beach cleanup events, typically organized once every 60 days by Supervisor (teacher) Robert Wiedenhoft. Last school year students in the HOPE club organized and performed a skit about the 2012 film, “The Lorax” for the younger Garden City students at Homestead School. The goal of teaching these young children the importance of recycling was achieved, according to Maeve Smith. “We helped educate the kids on the environment and the impact of reducing waste, taking care of planet Earth. We hope to do The Lorax again but hopefully at more than one of our primary schools here so we can have more outreach,” she said. Simone Oustacher said HOPE club activities will fluctuate depending on the season. When school starts each fall and with warmer weather in spring, the HOPE club tends to spend its time outside together. In winter the club focuses more on the education and discussions on environmental issues, including endangered species. She added that last school year three HOPE club members researched the Western lowland gorilla, a species native to the Congo. The HOPE Club at GCHS aims for more outreach in the near future. “One long term goal is to use our bake sale money to adopt an endangered animal that we’ve made presentations about,” Oustacher said. Another topic the club examined was the impact of electric cars on the environment, which came up again during the EAB meeting as a Chaminade student and Western POA participant Eli Scalere challenged their green value due to the components. Some studies have shown that making a typical EV can create more carbon pollution than making a gasoline car. Common misconceptions about environmentalism in action were also addressed during the meeting. In her review of sustainability, moderator Sabrina Diaz rebutted the notion that a more sustainable lifestyle is not feasible. She explained why living a more eco-conscious lifestyle by making adjustments to your household and work would certainly not be “too much

work.” “You do not have to sacrifice everything and live on the bare minimum. You don’t have to live in a hut, you can still live in a nice house with electricity. It only takes an extra minute to reevaluate your habits. In our current society and economic model you are going to run into unsustainable options – but hopefully things can change. This is a group effort so every individual can make a few small changes. That way everybody contributes and it really makes a difference,” Diaz said. A key part of her presentation was the need for protecting the Amazon Rainforest which is the world’s largest land-based carbon sink. As home to 40,000 species of plants (and potentially more) 25% percent of the world’s pharmaceuticals are derived from its vegetation and resources. “If we bulldoze and eventually lose the rainforest there will no longer be opportunities to research its plants,” Diaz explained. She added that investments in longer-lasting solutions will result in a decrease for costs down the road. An example she provided was the renovations done at Garden City Village Hall, specifically in the Engineering Department. “Those are done for a reason because we fix it now so it would not have to be done or constantly fixed again in the future. Sustainability is less expensive in the long-run. Being cheap now and fixing things later is short-term thinking, which can wind up costly,” she noted. In one of Diaz’s college classes students reviewed the concept of “peak energy and peak oil” and future investments in clean energy and renewable resources. She said oil deposits are still being unearthed so the peak gets “pushed back” but there isn’t a way to keep betting on finding more fossil fuels anywhere. “In our Garden City community we should focus on sustainability as another way of building our community pride and connections around the same cause. Taking such measures will increase property values, for those folks worrying about selling their home! And according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, there is also a link between air quality/pollution and students’ academic success. While not the sole reason, improved air quality decreases illness and absences and increases alertness – that’s something parents do need to consider, especially with car riders’ and school bus pick-up and drop-off and so many cars idling outside,” Diaz noted.

Did you know that January 19th is National “Get to Know Your Customer Day?” Pretty cool, huh?! Apparently, it is the third Thursday of the start of the quarter (Jan/April/July/Oct). Get to Know Your Customers Day was first celebrated in 2011 as a way for businesses to show appreciation for their customers and to build relationships with them. Since then, it has grown into an international celebration that encourages businesses around the world to take time out of their busy schedules and focus on getting to know their customers better. At the Exchange, we celebrate it every day. We know many of our customers by name. We even know some of them more personally, like our favorite 99-year-old customer (Margherita). We pride ourselves on knowing customers’ shopping preferences as well. We have been known to call a customer when we get in merchandise that they are looking for, or that they collect. We have a customer, named Kathleen, who collects gnomes. Lisa likes milkglass. And another Lisa likes vintage jewelry. I point all this out, because I think it’s one of the things that sets us apart from your regular brick and mortar store. Personal connections are so important and are becoming increasingly rarer, especially since so many people are doing more and more of their shopping in online stores. One of our volunteers coined a phrase that I often borrow … “Enter as a customer, leave as a friend.” So, if you happen to come into the Shop, make sure we get to know you. Come have a piece of candy (or maybe even a cookie) while you shop; afterall, shopping is hard work. Lol! Please join us for a semi-private Valentine’s Day Shopping Event on Friday, Feb. 9, 1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. We will be joined by • Beautycounter Kim Pawlowski will be showcasing cleaner, safer personal care products, and she will have useful gift ideas • Bohemian Chic NY – Becky Iudica will have one-of-a-kind coverups, cardigans and dried flower jewelry • Scout & Cellar with Cara Pasqualina will be selling clean crafted wines & grinds AND introducing a new line of non-alcoholic wine Please consider donating food for our first food drive of 2024 to benefit The INN.

It shouldn’t matter what “group” you belong to or if your opinion is different than ours. As your Trustees, we commit that transparency, honesty, inclusion and teamwork will be present in all we do. Community Agreement Party Candidates: Judy Courtney, Bruce Torino, Jessica Tai, Vinny Muldoon

FABGC: Good governance to continue

To the Editor: FABGC has always felt that any candidate for trustee must not only have no conflicts of interest where a trustee could personally benefit, but must avoid the appearance of conflicts so that residents can have full trust in their elected officials. To that end, the FABGC and its candidates have pledged since their first campaign, and continue to pledge, the following: FABGC will only accept campaign contributions from Garden City Residents or those that had lived in the

Village. FABGC will abide by the $1,000 per individual campaign contribution limit as dictated under New York State Campaign Contribution Law. https://www.elections.ny.gov/ CFContributionLimits.html In the interest of transparency and following the law, FABGC will continue to file all forms required under NYS campaign law in a timely fashion. (NOTE TO POA/CAP CANDIDATES: We hope this year you will abide by the NY State election laws. Documentation should be filed, and those contributions over the legal limit need to be returned. NY State law is the governing law of our Village elections. Our Board of Trustee members are responsible for more than $60,000,000 in Village spending each year. This is not an election for Class President or Prom Queen. This is serious business. Trustees should know and follow the laws so as to keep the Village safe from liabilities, lawsuits and embarrassment.) FABGC will not run any candidate that has a conflict of interest that cannot be mitigated thru recusal, or any candidate that does business with the Village, or is under their regulatory authority. Per FABGC’s request, Trustee Chester publicly stated that he would not sell any municipal insurance in the Village of Garden City while a

Trustee. Cosmo Veneziale did the same in regards to his architecture practice, pledging not to do business while Mayor because of the inherent conflicts of being a BOT member and going before the ADRB and Zoning Boards. We feel any candidate that does business with the Village should make that same pledge, as the appearance of a conflict of interest can be as damaging to residents faith in their elected leaders as an actual conflict. We feel no employees should feel they have to show favor to a particular Board of Trustee member, whether they are asked for it or not. Even a Board of Trustee member who is beyond reproach, a wonderful resident and has done much for the Village. Trustees are responsible for Village employees’ compensation and livelihood, and even the appearance of conflict is not fair to our Village employees. Appearances matter. For A Better Garden City

Clearing up confusion

To the Editor: As a member of the former St Paul’s Committee, I am writing in hopes of clearing up some confusion and answering questions posed in a letter from last week’s edition submitted by Mrs. Jane Horn, regarding plans for adaptive reuse of St Paul’s. I’d like to take them one by one if I

may. 1) “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 “Lego room” was not proposed. This may have been confused with the Robotics/Engineering Room which was discussed. This would be a dedicated space for children of all ages, providing programs ranging from Lego classes for toddlers to robotics and AI labs for teens. The programs and classes would be run through the Department of Recreation, run by independent contractors, with participants paying a fee to cover costs (much like current program offerings run by the Recreation Department). 2. “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.” The current condition of the senior center had been criticized by many in the village. The ongoing issues with uneven and compromised floors will not go away anytime soon, as the building has no foundation and limited life expectancy. I agree with the sentiment See page 40

Malagon commented that the library was planning to use the surplus in 20242025 to catch up on its capital projects. One specific use will be equipping the first floor to allow patrons to “printon-demand” – printing documents at the library’s Reference Desk from the convenience of their own device, from home or anywhere else.

But the goal is always responsible, accurate budgeting. “I think the Library Board has been very fiscally responsible over several years, so if there is surplus that returns from the operating budget then so be it because definitely there will be times we will need more money on hand to handle a problem. We will continue to plan accurately and not ask for what we need, and do (use) what we say we need,” she noted.

Shore highlighted microbiology as an interesting field to consider for those thinking about environmental advocacy and sustainability and new ways to battle climate change. “Some of our microbes are photosynthetic and are currently being used to try to develop new sources of biodiesel. This is a growing field and there’s a lot of interesting research, biotech and engineering opportunities for anyone who wants to get involved in that.

NYS Will Be in Path of Totality: Best Places to View Solar Eclipse on April 8 EDITED BY KAREN RUBIN TRAVEL FEATURES SYNDICATE GOINGPLACESFARANDNEAR.COM A gigantic swath of New York State will be in the path of totality of the April 8, 2024 Solar Eclipse. Miss this once-in-a-lifetime experience when the moon completely covers the sun, turning day into night and sparking all sorts of eerie reactions and you’ll have to wait 400 years for the next total solar eclipse in New York State. The total solar eclipse will begin around 3:20 pm (the time will differ depending what part of the state you are in), and last up to 3 minutes and 38 seconds depending on your vantage point, with about a half-hour before and after totality when you see the moon making its dramatic pass to cover and then recede. The regions, cities, towns and villages where the viewing is most ideal – a 124-mile wide path stretching from Chautauqua-Allegheny to the majestic Niagara Falls in Greater Niagara, over the pristine Finger Lakes, mighty Adirondacks, and magical Thousand Islands-Seaway are taking on a festival atmosphere, and attractions, from the Adirondack Sky Center & Observatory to the Rochester Museum & Science Center are hosting events even days before. Editors at New York State’s tourism bureau, ILoveNY, have curated the best places in each of the regions to go. You should plan early and book accommodations (and check the weather three days before), and remember to bring your eclipse glasses (though some festivals and events will be handing them out) and filter for your camera:

Crossword Answers

On “Begin The Beguine” BY LOU THEODORE This one is about a song. Yes, a song. It’s “Begin the Beguine.” Let’s start with the word beguine. Webster claims it is a Roman Catholic religious order of sisterhoods founded in the 12th century who devoted themselves to charity and good work that included providing refuge for women left widowed or unmarried by the loss of men during the Crusades. But it is also defined as a native dance of the island of Martinique, later popularized by the black community in the United States Here’s something I dug out of the literature on the song itself. It was reportedly written by Cole Porter on a Pacific cruise ship during the summer of 1935. Later that year, it became part of a Broadway musical “Jubilee,” and closed soon after its opening. However, it didn’t die, although a reviewer claimed the song would be more appropriately titled “End the Beguine.” Two years later, the song resurfaced thanks to Arthur Jacob Arshowsky, aka Artie Shaw. It became a best-selling record that year, peaking at No. 3, while skyrocketing Shaw and his band from obscurity to fame and popularity. This recording became one of the most famous and popular of the entire “Swing Era.” There were subsequent releases by all the major big bands, including Harry James, Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey and Glenn Miller, often as an instrumental. As a vocal song, it was Frank Sinatra, Ann-Margaret, Ella Fitzgerald, Johnny Mathis, Elvis Presley, and the one and only Julio Iglesias. Iglesias recorded a captivating Spanish version of “Begin the Beguine,” titled “Volver a Empezar.” Go to YouTube to hear many of these versions of the song, but particularly Julio’s.

Over the years, I had three favorite songs. 1. “Someday Soon” (Judy Collins). I’ve had the song occasionally sung to me by Mary O’Dowd, the beautiful legendary Irish folk singer. 2. “Heat Wave” (The Sherels). 3. “So Tired” (Russ Morgan). Morgan was another Swing Era band leader; it was his only hit around the mid-1940s. Two years ago, I heard BtB again after a lapse of several decades and… well… it is now also one of my favorites. Here are Porter’s lyrics to my new found gem. When they begin the beguine It brings back the sound of music so tender, It brings back a night of tropical splendor, It brings back a memory ever green. I’m with you once more under the stars, And down by the shore an orchestra’s playing And even the palms seem to be swaying When they begin the beguine. To live it again is past all endeavor, Except when that tune clutches my heart, And there we are, swearing to love forever, And promising never, never to part. What moments divine, what rapture serene, Till clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted, And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted, I know but too well what they mean; So don’t let them begin the beguine Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember; Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember

When they begin the beguine. Oh yes, let them begin the beguine, make them play Till the stars that were there before return above you, Till you whisper to me once more, “Darling, I love you!” And we suddenly know, what heaven we’re in, When they begin the beguine. Perhaps, the lyrics sound corny to some. But not when you hear it with the accompanying music. It really is something special, particularly with Artie Shaw and his clarinet. Do yourself a favor and listen to any or all of the various versions. You won’t be disappointed. It will place you in a romantic tropical setting, much like the classic “Bali Ha’i” from the play/movie South Pacific (and my favorite novel of all times – Michener’s first writing endeavor that recounted his experienc-

While cabaret-ing with the Queen, my last two requests of a band/group for BtB resulted in something to the effect that “we never heard of it.” That may have been the driving force behind my writing this article. Note: The December 5 book signing event (“Winning at Casinos”) at the Village of East Williston Library was a success.

Women and Social Security -- Common Misunderstandings BY TOM MARGENAU Whether you’re a man or woman, Social Security rules can sometimes be confusing and hard to understand. Today I’m going to go over some common misunderstandings that women have about their eligibility for benefits. And almost all these misunderstandings have to do with benefits they might be due from a spouse in addition to their own Social Security benefits. Let me begin my clarification of these rules by making this general statement: If you have worked and earned your own Social Security benefit, you will almost always be paid that benefit first. Only after you are getting your own retirement benefit will the Social Security Administration look to your husband’s record to see if you are due any additional spousal benefits. (The big exception to this rule applies to widows, as we shall learn later in this column.) Many married women think they can take reduced benefits (at 62, for example) on a husband’s Social Security account and then at full retirement age, switch to full benefits on their own record. But that can’t be done. There is something called the “open-ended application rule” that essentially says if you file for one kind of Social Security benefit, you are “deemed” to be filing for any and all other benefits you might be due at the same time. So that means if you file for spousal benefits, you are also filing for your own Social Security benefits. (Although again, there is that exception that applies to widows.) Speaking of widows, many women think that if they take reduced retirement benefits on their own Social Security record, that reduction will carry over to any future widow’s benefits they might be due. But that’s not the case. Your widow’s rate is based on one thing only -- how old you are when you start taking widow’s benefits. If you are over your full retirement age when that happens, you’re going to get a full widow’s benefit, no matter when you started your own benefits. As I was writing the above couple sentences, I originally wrote down: “Your widow’s rate is based on one thing only: your age when your husband dies.” Many times, that’s the case. For example, if your husband dies when you are 64, and you start getting widow’s benefits then, your widow’s rate would be about 80% of your husband’s benefit. But, that 64-year-old woman could decide to take, or continue receiving, her own retirement benefits and delay filing for widow’s benefits until she reaches full retirement age. Widows are the only Social Security beneficiaries who can waive the deemed filing rule mentioned earlier and take reduced benefits on one record and later file for full benefits on another record.

Or lots of times, it’s to a woman’s advantage to start widow’s benefits first and delay her own retirement benefits until age 70. For example, that 64-yearold woman mentioned above could start off getting widow’s benefits. As I said, it would be about an 80% rate. If she could live on that until age 70, she could then switch to about 130% of her own retirement benefit. Another common misunderstanding has to do with the “10-year rule.” Many women think they have to be married for 10 years before they can collect benefits from a husband’s Social Security record. But that 10-year rule only applies to divorced women. In other words, if you are trying to get benefits from an ex-husband’s Social Security account, you would have had to be married to him for 10 years to be eligible. But if you’re still married to your husband, that 10-year rule doesn’t apply. However, there is a law that says you have to be married at least nine months. Speaking of divorced spouses, lots of women are concerned that if their ex-husband remarries, any benefits due his new wife will affect what the former wife might be due on the ex’s record. But that’s not true. Those benefits don’t offset one another. Or to put that another way, both a current wife and ex-wife could get whatever benefits they might be due from a guy’s Social Security account. If you have been married to more than one man, you are potentially due benefits on either husband’s Social Security record (assuming you meet the eligibility requirements -- such as duration of marriage or your age). You won’t collect benefits on both records. You will get benefits from the husband on whose record you are due the higher benefit. Women who have been married more than once also have some misunderstandings about their Social Security rights. For example, if you are currently married to one man, you cannot collect benefits on another man’s Social Security record. The primary exception to this rule applies to widows who remarry after age 60. A woman over age 60 can get married and still be eligible for benefits from a deceased husband’s (or ex-husband’s) Social Security record. Speaking of women getting benefits from an ex-husband, I frequently hear comments similar to this one: “No wonder Social Security has problems. I know several men who have been married multiple times. If all these women are getting benefits from all these ex-husbands, they must be draining the system dry!” But actually, it’s rather unusual to have two women getting benefits on one guy’s record. And in my 50 years of doing this stuff, I only once saw a record where three women were getting bene-

fits from one guy’s account. Why is it so unusual? Even though a guy might have had two or three or even more ex-wives, they all don’t get benefits on his account because one or more of the exes have remarried or because they are due bene-

fits on their own Social Security record. If you want to learn more, there is a whole chapter devoted to benefits for women in my little guidebook called Continued on next page

Don’t Sell, Build Rapport and Relationships BY PHILIP A. RAICES If you are a seller, investor, purchaser, or even potential tenant, are you being properly advised and educated sufficiently enough, or seeking out someone to consult you about the current challenging market? Do you know enough about how to strategize and position yourself as a seller? If an investor, are you doing your due diligence when looking and finding a quality property and knowing the short and long-term R.O.I.? As a purchaser who has dropped out for a multitude of reasons; have you thought outside the box and need and desire creative and cutting-edge ways to keep you in the market? Even if you are looking for a rental, are you open to learning how you might potentially be in a position to purchase, by listening and learning various strategies and methods of ways that you can accomplish this to be a homeowner and build your long-term wealth? To me as a professional real estate broker and experienced journalist, building a spark, leading to positive rapport, and long-term relationships with a Realtor will assist you in gaining a trusted advisor, with the expertise and knowledge that you deserve. This will surely assist you in saving, earning, and keeping more of your hardearned dollars in your pocket (instead of someone else’s) in the short and long term. This is also of utmost importance for all Realtors in doing the same in building and growing their businesses and income. There are times when we as brokers have to take a step back and pay it forward by giving more than we may take. We must take into account, realize, and be cognizant that some of

our clients might be having difficult times financially or are looking for guidance and have many pressing questions in solving their dilemmas. Our job is to always try to perform skillfully and to take a position to be the best “problem solvers” and have the required and necessary and complete knowledge to step up to the plate to be a troubleshooter, fixer of issues, and difficulties in coming to satisfactory resolutions. This will lead to minimizing stress for all involved, maximizing client satisfaction, and solving issues along the way to the closing table. This is the most advantageous path to take in leaving a lasting impression. We as brokers surely need to earn a living especially today with the costs of everything and the intricacies of running a successful and profitable business. However, many lose sight of what is truly most important, taking care and the concerns of our clients! It’s not about selling anything, but what it’s about is nurturing, guiding, and educating consumers to assist them in making the best and most advantageous decisions in the sale, purchase, or investment of the most expensive and valuable asset that they will have potentially owned in their lifetimes! Being at the top of one’s game will be tantamount to becoming more involved and being transparent, sympathetic, compassionate, and empathetic. Appreciating and understanding client concerns worries and

a seller or buyer’s agent during the transaction. From my 42 years in the industry, I have never seen any Broker or company fix commissions. We don’t put handcuffs or any pressure on any homeowner and the seller has a legal right to say no to any specific amount of commission. Negotiating is part of the proceedings. Way back when, we got paid a higher percentage on a sale and our remuneration was less. As prices and our expenses have increased drastically over the years those who do their business in a professional, candid, upfront, and legal way by adhering to the NAR code of ethics as well as the “fairing house” rules created by HUD, in most instances charge less of a percentage but are worth what they earn today. The “cream of the crop” follows the rules and regulations and is a cut above the rank and file. We deserve our income because we do the right thing for our clients. I wonder why (my estimation) 100,000 agents have left the industry since 2020? My saying is, “Nobody cares how much you know until they know how much you care and know!” Philip A.

SOCIAL SECURITY AND YOU

The Diet for Health

Continued from previous page

Continued from page 2

“Social Security -- Simple and Smart.”

in the 1960s. Those Italians and Greeks were exceptionally healthy compared with Americans and had a low risk of many diseases. So, researchers began studying what they were eating. The Mediterranean diet focuses on plant-based foods, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, breads, legumes, potatoes, nuts and seeds. The main dietary fat is extra-virgin olive oil, and the diet also includes moderate amounts of red wine, fish, poultry, dairy and eggs. Red meat typically plays a small part, often only at Sunday dinner.

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.

stress during the selling, investing, purchasing, and renting process will aid in dealing with minimizing and solving those bumps in the road. This can only lead to a stronger more caring and mindful importance of those crucial and valuable relationships and a foundation for continued success today and in the future. A client might want or need to buy a home, let’s call that home “chocolate”, but some will try to sell them another home, let’s call that “vanilla,” just to make a sale and not focus on their “specific needs and wants” by working smarter and harder to find their chocolate! I would rather do the latter by growing a stronger connection and greater confidence with consumers for future referrals and recommendations. That is the true lifeblood of any successful long-term business. Over the last year or two, there have been major lawsuits against the National Association of Realtors as well as some of the largest firms due to issues with “supposed” fixing and inflating commissions. However, there are appeals currently underway. Part of the problem that has led to this unfortunate event is the lack of providing accurate information, transparency in the transaction, and the discussion of fees and how and why we don’t just get paid for doing what we do, but why and how some of us earn our commissions; being the best we can be in becoming our clients best advocate and representative whether

That pattern has found to improve health and prevent disease, especially heart disease. A large study, called the Predimed study, looked at 7,447 individuals with a high risk of heart disease. For five years, participants followed one of three different diets -- a Mediterranean diet with added extra-virgin olive oil, a Mediterranean diet with added nuts and a low-fat diet control group. The risk of combined heart attack, stroke and death from heart disease was lower by 31% in the Mediterranean and olive oil group and 28% in the Mediterranean and nuts group. And dropout rates were twice as high in the control group compared with

the two Mediterranean groups. Results like that have been repeated over and over. Other studies are showing that the Mediterranean diet can help with weight loss, Type 2 diabetes and premature death. The bottom line is this is a diet worth looking into.

The 5 Questions My Readers Ask Most Often BY MARY HUNT If you were to dive into my inbox, you might assume you’d find lots of questions on laundry, copycat recipes or what the best inexpensive fill-in-the-blank is. I do get lots of those. But it’s questions about credit cards and consumer debt that come out the winner in that contest. You, like I, may find that curious because I am not a financial planner or investment adviser. I can boast no licenses or certifications in those fields. I have life experience, and I have that in spades. I’ve been horribly in debt, having owned 35 credit cards (yes, all the same time!) many years ago. I’ve foolishly leased a bevy of new cars. I’ve hit rock bottom, struggled madly to escape the sea of financial ruin, and am now onto the dry ground of living 100% debt-free! I have learned a lot on the journey. What follows are the most often-asked questions and my answers, representing my own opinions. I invite you to take them for what they’re worth. Q: Should I take a home equity loan to pay off my credit cards? A: No. The best way to understand this is to consider the worst-case scenario: What are the consequences if you cannot keep up with your payments? If you default on a credit card account, the bank will charge you fees and penalties and trash your credit report. But they cannot take your home. But if you transfer that unsecured debt to your home using a home equity loan and then

get into financial trouble, you could find yourself on the street with your recliner. Defaulting on a home equity loan results in foreclosure. But it’s more than that. Your home’s equity is an appreciating asset. Left alone and allowed to grow over time, you will eventually achieve 100% equity, meaning you own a house free and clear. You’ll never reach that goal if you keep looking at your home’s equity as an ATM or secret savings account. Q: Should I really put money into savings even though I have a lot of credit card debt? A: Absolutely. You need an emergency fund -- a stash that will be there when you find yourself in a financial pickle. Here’s why: If you do not have an emergency stash to cover stuff that happens (trust me, stuff always happens), you will have no choice but to run to a credit card for a bailout. You’ll never get off the credit card debt treadmill if you don’t stop adding new purchases -- even if it’s an emergency. You need to save something from every paycheck (10% sounds about right to me) so you can eventually part company with credit card debt altogether. Q: Which credit card bill should I pay off first, the one with the smallest balance or the one with the highest interest rate? A: You should target the smallest debt first. Here’s why: We are emotional creatures. We need gratification sooner rather than later. If it takes you five years to pay off your debt with the highest interest

because it just happens to be your largest debt, too, you will get discouraged. But if you target the smallest one and manage to pay it off in a few months, locking eyeballs with that $0 balance will give you a huge emotional payoff and precisely what you need to keep going by tackling the next most enormous debt, and on and on until every credit card balance is at $0. Q: Should I use my tax refund to pay down credit card debt or stash it into an emergency fund? A: That depends on your current savings situation. If you have at least enough cash to put away in a savings account that is sufficient to pay all of your bills for three months without a paycheck, then I think using your refund to pay down your debt is a great idea. But if you don’t have an emergency fund, saving your refund might be a terrific way to give your emergency fund a jumpstart. Q: Should I transfer my debt to a 0% credit card? A: It’s tricky, and it all depends on your situation, the terms of this new 0% card, and your determination to use it to your best advantage. Make sure you read that fine print several times and that you fully understand it. (Good luck. One study says some terms and conditions are written at a 27th-grade level.) Is there a transfer fee? If you transfer a $5,000 balance subject to a 4% transfer fee, that would be $200 right up front. Ouch! How long does the 0% teaser rate last? What is the default rate, and could you handle that big interest rate if something unforeseen

happens and you fall behind? If you are determined to pay the balance in full within the next six months, and there is no transfer fee, you may come out ahead. The bottom line is that it’s always a gamble with credit card accounts. You have to work hard to beat the banks at their own game to make you the winner!

Cats Versus Flowerpots BY JEFF RUGG Q: We have a new rescue cat. For reasons we don’t know, it has been digging the soil out of the tops of all the house plants. It is using the litter box just fine, so it isn’t that. We tried several home remedies and sprays that didn’t work. I just want to put a barrier on the soil, but I am afraid of harming the plants and I don’t want to make it hard to water the plants.

What do you think would be a good option that isn’t too expensive and won’t harm the cat or the plants? We have a lot of larger pots and we don’t want to make them heavier, so we don’t want to cover the soil in the pots with gravel. A: Who knows the minds of some cats? Since it is a rescue, maybe it found mice by digging, or it dug under fences to escape, or who knows what else. At least it is not a cat that is throwing up all the

time or using the plant pots as the litter box. You are right: There are a lot of homemade remedies such as coffee grounds, orange peels, garlic, vinegar, plastic forks, bamboo skewers and so on. I wouldn’t want those things in my flowerpots either. Some of them, such as the vinegar, can harm the plants; and sharp things such as the skewers could harm the cat. Anyway, you are right that some types of barriers will stop the airflow into the soil and that will harm the plant roots. Plants in containers need air in the soil. The container blocks the airflow from the sides, which wouldn’t happen to plants growing in the ground. If you use plastic wrap or aluminum foil on the top of the pot, you block the flow of air. A loose fitting of these materials is probably just fine. These solutions also can make it harder to water. I suggest that if you are looking for a nicer-looking barrier that can block the cat but not air and water, you try window screen material. It is easy to cut with scissors and can be purchased in a long roll

inexpensively. Depending on the plants in the pot, you can cut a slit or two to make it easy to install around the trunk. If you cut it in a square that is larger than the pot, the corners can fold over the pot to hold it in place. You could cut it into a circle that fits inside the top edge of the pot. If the cat pulls it off, you could try a crochet hoop to hold the screen in the circular shape and lock it into place on the plant trunk. If the cat is really tough and strong, you could switch to using wire screen mesh -- sometimes called hardware cloth. It has thicker wires and comes with holes one-eighth to one-quarter inch apart. It requires a strong cutter and leaves sharp points on the wires. Cut it larger than needed and bend the wires underneath to make the points safer.

Orion Distances BY DENNIS MAMMANA Week of Jan. 21-27, 2024 With the moon appearing so bright this week, it’ll be hard to see much in the night sky except for the moon itself along with the brilliant planet Jupiter high overhead. Fortunately, at this time of year, our sky is adorned with some of the brightest stars of the entire year: the region of Orion, the hunter. This is beginning to rise above the eastern horizon after sunset, and you should be able to see these stars easily even over bright moonlight. Orion marks a fascinating piece of celestial real estate, and his mythology is quite ancient. He was known to the Sumerians of Mesopotamia; the Egyptians saw him as the god Osiris; and some early Greek stories portray him as a great and strong hunter and son of the sea god Poseidon. It’s understandable why they chose a great hunter to represent this star grouping: It’s one of the few constellations that -- with some imagination -can be made to resemble its namesake. Two stars -- Betelgeuse and Bellatrix -- mark the shoulders of the celestial giant. Saiph and Rigel form his knees. And his midsection sports three stars in a nearly straight line that outline his belt. Unfortunately, the fainter stars that make up his head and arms won’t be visible until we lose the bright moonlight next week.

We can, however, follow the three “belt” stars downward toward the east and find Sirius, the brightest star in the heavens and the main star of Canis Major, the great hunting dog. With only these brilliant stars visible in the moonlight this week, let’s take the opportunity to ponder an interesting thought: What would Orion look like if we could travel there to see it up close? The question is one I’ve received many times over the years, but it presupposes that Orion is a real place. It is not. What we trace out as shapes in the sky are simply our imaginations attempting to make some sense out of a celestial maze of randomly scattered stars. In fact, all stars are at greatly different distances from us. Take Sirius, for example. Not only is it the brightest star in the heavens, but it’s one of the nearest as well, lying only about 8.6 light-years away. A light-year, if you recall, is the distance that a beam of light can travel in one year -- about six trillion miles. So, Sirius lies about 51 trillion miles away. That’s 51 followed by 12 zeroes. The stars of Orion are considerably farther. Bellatrix is the closest of those we can see this week, lying some 250 light-years away (about 1,500 trillion miles). Using light-years, however, gives us another perspective. Since the light of Bellatrix has taken 250 years to reach us, we see that star as it was in 1773!

Other stars are considerably farther. For example, the reddish-orange supergiant star Betelgeuse is about 500 lightyears from us. It’s a star that’s on the verge of going supernova, but when it does, half a millennium will pass before the light reaches us!

Though we imagine some of these stars as one thing (Orion), they are actually very different distances from us.

Sharpening My Spidey-Sense BY TRACY BECKERMAN “Holy Cow,” I shouted. “There’s a giant spider on the wall. I think it’s a tarantula!” “It’s not a tarantula,” said my husband, looking up from his computer. “There are no tarantulas around here.” “Then it’s a wolf spider,” I said. “What, are you suddenly an Arachnologist?” He wondered. “What’s that? An expert in peanut butter?” “No. Why would I call you an expert in peanut butter?” “I thought that’s what an Arachnologist was.” No, you’re thinking of Arachibutyrophobia, the fear of peanut butter getting stuck to the roof of your mouth.”

“Well, they’re close! Oh no, the spider is making a run for it!” “Maybe it has a fear of peanut butter getting stuck to the roof of its mouth.” “This isn’t funny. You need to get it out before it bites me.” “What makes you think it would want to bite you?” “That’s what spiders do.” “OK, fine. Keep an eye on it while I get some paper towel to take it outside.” “You’re going to try to capture it alive?” “Yes. “But it’s the size of Mothra!!” “It’s OK, I have spider insurance.” “Hurry. It’s coming down the wall. No, wait, it turned around and it’s going back up. No, it’s coming back down again. It just stopped and looked at me. Wait, it’s coming back down again. It

saw me and now it’s coming for me!” “I don’t need a play-by-play.” “Do you have the paper towel?” “Yes.” “Is it two-ply? You’ll be safer if it’s two-ply.” “I have no idea. Go open the door?” “No.” “No? Why not?” “More spiders might come in.” “No more spiders are coming in.” “How can you be sure? Maybe this one called for help in Spiderspeak.” “I’m taking it outside. Open the door.” “OK fine. But let me get out of the way before you pass me.” “Oh, I got it. Move!” “No, wait! I haven’t moved out of the way.” “Oh, shoot.”

“What?” “I dropped it.” “YOU DROPPED IT?!?” “Yeah. Hmm... it should be here somewhere.” “I can’t believe you dropped it!” “Where are you going?” “I’m going to open the door again.” “Why? So, the spider can leave?” “No. So I can.” 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!

Big games dot the college and professional football landscapes each year beginning in late summer and ending in mid-winter. But no games are bigger than those that take place once the calendar turns to a new year. That’s when the postseason begins in both college and professional football. Game watches with fellow fans, family and friends are a great way to make playoff football even more enjoyable. With so many big games on the horizon, football fans would be wise to

ready their culinary arsenal. Whether you’re hosting at home or going to a game watch at a fellow fan’s house, keep in mind that food and football are a great match. Certain dishes have long since staked their claim on the game watch dinner and snacking tables, and nachos certainly need no introduction to football fans. As this year’s playoffs kick off, football fans can try this recipe for “Loaded Beef Nachos” courtesy of AllRecipes.com.

Serves 4

1 cup diced green bell pepper 1 10-ounce can diced tomatoes with green chiles (such as RO-TEL®) 1 15-ounce can Mexican-style corn (optional) 1 16-ounce can refried beans 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, or as needed 4 ounces tortilla chips, or as needed

Taco Seasoning: 5 teaspoons paprika 1 1⁄4 teaspoons garlic powder 1 1⁄4 teaspoons ground cumin 1 1⁄4 teaspoons onion powder 1 teaspoon chili powder 1 teaspoon oregano leaves 1 1⁄2 teaspoons salt Nachos: 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 pound ground beef 1 cup diced onion

Toppings (optional): 1⁄2 cup sour cream (optional) 1⁄2 cup salsa (optional) 1⁄4 cup sliced black olives (optional) 1⁄4 cup sliced jalapeños (optional) 1⁄4 cup green onion

For taco seasoning: 1) Stir paprika, garlic powder, cumin, onion powder, chili powder, oregano, and salt together in a small bowl; set aside. 2) Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. 3) Stir in onion and green pepper; cook and stir with oil and juices from browned meat until much of the liquid has evaporated, about 2 minutes more. 4) Stir 1⁄2 can diced tomatoes with chilies and Mexican-style corn into skillet. Season beef mixture to taste with prepared taco seasoning mix. 5) Stir together the remaining 1⁄2 can diced

tomatoes with chilies and refried beans in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high until heated through, stirring every 30 seconds, 1 to 3 minutes. To assemble nachos: 1) Lay half of tortilla chips in a single layer on a microwave-safe plate, then drop teaspoons of refried beans onto chips, followed by meat mixture and shredded cheese. Repeat with remaining chips, beans, meat, and cheese to make a second layer. 2) Microwave on high until cheese is melted and nachos are warm, 2 to 3 minutes. Top with sour cream, salsa, olives, jalapeños, and green onion as desired.

Friday, January 19, 2024 The Garden City News

From page 27 of many seniors in this village: considering the taxes they pay seniors are deserving of an inviting, comfortable, and most importantly a safe space to meet up, spend time and partake in popular activities. 3. “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 theater for performing arts is not included in the original phase of the current adaptive reuse plan. It was mentioned as a potential option for a later date, IF (if if if) it is something residents want and are willing to pay for. 4. “A music room: will music students from our schools be transitioning from practice at their respective schools to practice here and under whose tutelage?” Community space for musicians and artists is something many residents have asked for. Considering the amount of village space available for athletics, setting aside a dedicated space for music and the arts not only seems reasonable, but long overdue. Lessons and programs would be offered through the Recreation Department, taught by independent contractors, much like the Rec dance courses offered today. Our public school system (currently planning for a square footage crunch) might also wish to access this space for their programs. Currently school athletic teams access St Paul’s fields due to a lack of space on school campuses, so music programs accessing St Paul’s could and should be explored. The letter also mentions a “large sensory room for people with special needs. Again, what qualified people would staff such a room?” Parents and Volunteers would be initially and primarily tasked with overseeing and developing programs in the

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR sensory room, as we had many residents with backgrounds in teaching special needs children already offer their time and services. There are many athletic programs in the village which have been set up for children with special needs, run by parents and volunteers, so this is nothing new and something deemed beneficial for all involved. I would also like to stress the programming and usage proposed in an adaptive reuse plan of St Paul’s were not “forced”. The recommendations were made after speaking with hundreds of residents and dozens of affinity groups, clubs, and organizations within the village. The sub-Committee chairs split up the various organizations within the village and talked with anyone who would meet or answer our calls and emails. The results were proposals which addressed the needs of residents, and mirrored programs and offerings which many comparable villages already offer. Please note, costs were strongly considered when developing the current St. Paul’s Alliance proposal which is why we believed the phased approach works best. This plan provides the services and programs desired most by residents while allowing for future development and projects within the existing building, when and IF (if if if) the residents at that time deem such additions necessary and affordable. There could be no future development. That will be determined by residents at a future time when and if needed. Having space which can be quickly developed and brought online to address needs of the time, is something very few communities have, but most will find they need due to recent demographic trends. I would point out that operating and maintenance costs were not included in original figures for both the adaptive reuse plan and facadism project. Once a final plan is agreed upon by trustees, these costs must be finalized, vetted, and considered. The writer also states she “would be for Facadism where the front of St.

L E G A L

Paul’s would remain as a presence in Garden City with a practical structure behind it.” The Committee did look at this possibility in the initial review two years ago, and admittedly dismissed a Facadism plan as it was clearly the most expensive and complicated plan of the three options. Facadism would also take the most time to complete, generate the most disturbance in the area and create other problems such as lack of parking. Why the Facadism project was listed on both options of the Mayor’s “Opinion Poll” (Preserve vs. Demo), is a question many residents asked. Perhaps one day we will get an answer. Finally, I will conclude with my hopes of keeping the conversation and debate around St. Paul’s civil. Perhaps it was the unfortunate title of the letter chosen by the editor, and not the intent of the writer, but disparaging a resident who has dedicated thousands of hours towards finding a solution for St Paul’s, will not get us any closer to finding a solution for St Paul’s. Questions, concerns, disagreements, and opinions from all residents should be heard and considered. But the only thing we should be labeling slick are the road conditions during a New York winter, not fellow residents. Ryan Mulrooney

St Paul’s art work

To the Editor: It was wonderful to see the Mayor’s column on the removal for safekeeping of the St. Paul’s stained glass windows. One or two residents seem to think the windows should be “protected in place”, led by St Paul’s Alliance Director Will Alisse’s colorful letter last week in this paper. (Point of Fact: In keeping with the Alliance’s inability to do math, Botti’s Studio of Architectural Arts, Inc. cost to remove and store the windows for up to 10 years was $99,500, not Mr. Allisse’s “$150,000”). Mr. Alisse and Historical Society President Bill Garry’s voices would have had more credibility if over the last couple of years, and

decades, either had actually protected those windows. Any person that values GC history could not help but get choked up seeing two of the 150 yearold Clayton & Bell windows beyond original repair with the pieces broken and scattered across the Chapel floor and some pieces swept up and tossed out in the “cleaning” that was pushed by the St. Paul’s Committee. Windows worth hundreds of thousands of dollars left to crumble onto the Chapel floor. Residents are right to ask where was the St Paul’s Committee/Alliance as the windows fell apart? Where was Mr. Alisse? Historical Society’s Bill Garry? Kate Schmidt? Katie Wysocki? Alliance Leader Frank McDonough? So let me make another suggestion at the risk of further upsetting all of the above. How about rather than waiting for the partial or full rehab of St Paul’s, we have Botti repair one or two of the windows over the next year or however long it takes, replace the cames and broken pieces, and return them to Garden City. Maybe the 1892 Tiffany Window, “The Conversion of St. Paul’s,” donated by the Newcomb family in memory of their son, Thomas, who passed while a student at St. Paul’s, could be placed in the library or Village hall for resident viewing. (It appears that the one Tiffany window is in good condition according to the video interview of Mr Botti) Maybe one the undamaged Clayton & Bell windows could be placed in a prominent position in the Village as well. Any resident that has visited the Met Cloisters in Upper Manhattan, or the Tiffany Exhibit (mostly lamps) at the New York Historical Society on Central Park West and 77th, will understand these windows are not only windows, but pieces of art. With the Tiffany window from St Paul’s being appraised at north of $1,000,000, and more importantly, with significant historical value to the GC residents, why can’t it be displayed for the residents to enjoy after 30 years of being hidden? Let’s repair See page 41

From page 40 one or two windows, since they will need to be repaired eventually, encase them in a frame with LED lighting behind them, bring them back so the residents can admire them, and then if the residents decide to restore the full St Paul’s Building and Chapel, they can be moved back to their original home when the project is complete. But till then, why can’t the residents enjoy these pieces of art work? Let’s make the lovely Arlene Chianese, a wonderful family friend, who BOT meeting after BOT meeting for years stood up and asked about the stained glass windows, proud that her Village finally protected those windows.

Two for one

To the Editor: Well, last week’s paper had two letters of interest about St. Paul’s. Each dealt with statements from or by members of the defunct Committee, now part of the Alliance. The letter by Jane Horn is a reprint of a letter directed to our current Mayor. It critiques statements by Frank McDonough, prominent member/ spokesman of the Committee and now the Alliance about potential uses for the 140 yr. (vacant since 1991) old school building at the 48 acre St. Paul’s parkland property. Recently the GCN has been replete with gaudy, colorful Alliance ads pitching lots of uses. However, the defunct Committee never provided any data supporting the need or a substance desire for any use at all. Only anecdotal stories were told. Moreover, the Committee never provided any minutes of its meetings disclosing who among the 38 members participated in discussions and what conclusions if any were reached. No wonder the current Mayor has set forth a plan to have an independent, impartial evaluation of uses and needs. We, as residents, are already fortunate to offer so much with Village, school and church programs contributing as well as offerings by the Town and County. Folks have been and remain eager to move here over the past 30 years, untroubled by the St Paul’s situation. It is well established that no one can be in more than one place at a

time- no need to know quantum physics or the Heisenberg principle, just common sense. Do too many individualized, unsubstantiated uses spoil the broth? Remember, contrary to the Alliance ads, the Alliance is obviously not giving a gift to residents because obviously residents will being paying in taxes for what ever eventuates as a project and maintenance and operational costs. So real, thorough analysis of what role the building site does or does not play in the Village’s future is merited, is it not? Ms. Horn also notes the impact of the Oct. 2012 ErwinBielinsky report which made noteworthy observations about the poor condition of the building and significant criticisms of the proposals of the Save St Paul’s Group in 2011. The Erwin report, summary p. 12, characterized the Save St Paul’s plan as “unrealistic and flawed”) Mr. McDonough was part of that 2011 group and as part of the 2022-April 2023 now defunct Committee ignored the Erwin report for many months until inquiry with Mr. McDonough was made at a Board meeting by diligent Board member, now Mayor, Mary Carter Flanagan, in Nov. 2022. It is noteworthy that Mr. McDonough was a player on the Save St. PAUL’S Committee in 2011 when it made a proposal to save the building. The comprehensive 60 page Erwin report can be found on Village website and see link to Save St. Paul’s proposal at http://www. slideshare.net/jamescohen/ save-st-pauls-presentation. Turning to the letter by W. Alessi, architect from the old Committee, now part of Alliance. Should his confident statements about the structural integrity of the building be questioned in light of his unwarranted complaints about removal of the stained glass windows? The Village retained Mr. C. Botti, an acclaimed expert in stained glass preservation, to remove and store these valuable pieces. This is now in progress as a result of a historic 7-0 Board documented vote to accomplish this for $99.5k plus $6k insurance ( not $150k said by Mr. Alessi). Moreover, Mr. Alessi’s reliance upon the keep in place repair analogy to St Patrick’s Cathedral church appears misplaced because unlike St Paul’s, See page 42

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

From page 41 the windows at St Pat’s did not have to endure years of cold, damp, damaging conditions impacting and damaging joists and floors due to torrents of water from leaking roofs and busted windows in an unheated building that even brought the demise of found decomposed animals (2019 Vhb environmental report, see Village website) and a deceased rat (Feb. 25, 2022, front page article “Committee finds ’shocking’ conditions inside St. Paul’s” finding made by then Mayor Veneziale). The stained glass windows, as an asset of the Village, can not be held hostage by those seeking to save the building. (see Village ad last week, p. 19 about Mr. Botti; in his interview comments he actually also did work at St. Pats). Mr. Alessi seems of a hostage mindset worrying the west wing of the building will soon be gone- fear mongering and doesn’t this display a lack of respect for the Board’s unanimous vote? So let’s give the Mayor and Board a chance to implement the process, the plan, to evaluate what should be done or not done to arrive at a rational solution, be that preservation to any extent or, perhaps, to revisit demolition with preservation/retention of some historic building elements, without any interference from any distorted points of view. If you got this far thanks for your time. S. G. Gorray

Vote for Jessica Tai

To the Editor: Please join me in voting for Jessica Tai for Village Trustee from the Estates section of Garden City on March 19th 2024. Many people who pay attention to the Village Trustee meetings will remember vividly Jessica’s candor when speaking about St Paul’s and the need for Garden City to maintain its rich history. Not long before the July 2023 meeting where Jessica initially spoke, I was introduced to her by a mutual friend. Jessica was incredibly passionate about the reasons she moved to Garden City to raise her family. The community has made her family feel welcome and she has embraced it. Jessica’s journey to Garden City is remarkable having moved alone from China to the United States with not much more than a suitcase in her possession. A working mother, Jessica took it upon herself to attend Village meetings and speak from her heart to the current Mayor and Trustees about the importance of St Paul’s to our village. Remember she is not someone who grew up looking at the majesty of St Paul’s and hoping it be maintained - she sees it for what it is- history. Jessica is a woman of action- she is willing to volunteer her time when most people are more willing to sit on the sidelines. We need more people like Jessica to come to meetings, see a need for change and

take action. We are so lucky to have her on the lineup for the POAs in this election and I hope that many of you take the time to try and get to know Jessica at upcoming election events where she will be able to answer any questions you may have about her background or interests in Garden City. Last night I heard her speak and I was genuinely excited by her energy and passion, two qualities that can help our village tremendously while we navigate important issues. We are privileged to have many people return to Garden City after growing up here to raise their families. There is a need, with the ever-changing landscape of the village, to welcome newer residents to volunteer and be recognized for their devotion to the place they are choosing to call home. We are lucky to have someone like Jessica with a fresh perspective to help guide the future of Garden City. Please vote for Jessica Tai, alongside our candidates Judy Courtney, Bruce Torino and Vinny Muldoon. We owe it to our village. Eileen K. Read

Wuhan lab, the nystery

To the Editor: There are quite a few people who feel that something suspicious went on in the Wuhan lab, but somehow nobody dares to talk about it. Yes, our government warned us not to spread any rumors! You are most likely aware of the following: On November 17, 2019, for the first time, it was reported that a 55-yearold man from Wuhan caught the Covid19 virus. Soon after, the city of Wuhan became overwhelmingly infested by the virus which resulted in a lock-down of the city. All people were forced to stay in their houses for an extended period of time. Also the air traffic within China was limited, but not to the outside. On January 31, 2020, former President Trump banned all travel coming from China. Some Wuhan virologists wanted to go public, but were silenced by the Chinese government. One of them was Dr. Li-Meng Yan who claimed that Covid-19 was “man-made” and created in a Wuhan lab. Her twitter account was suspended. To play it safe, she fled to L.A. and is now in hiding in the U.S. Also a recent issue of the British newspaper Daily Mail referred to a research paper by leading British scientist professor Angus Dalgleish. He stated that the virus was created by Chinese scientists who were working on a “Gain of Function” project in a Wuhan Lab. NIH( National Institute of Health) together with Dr. Fauci collaborated with that lab. How much they were involved is still in the offing. A final try by our Congress to clear up the remaining questions is a must. Until then, we will give China the benefit of the doubt. Heinz Mayer

important,: When we think about transforming from our current energy supplies to more sustainable energy supplies, those with knowledge of mechanical and electrical systems – from rewiring a home or installation of a new heat system or geothermal in a commercial building – we need people there to run the systems and ensure its abilities to run. Though I’m a college professor and I believe college education is wonderful I think our country has underemphasized the trades over the last couple of decades and it’s particularly to our detriment now as we try to be more active in things like sustainability,” Dr. Groves said. Creating public policy around sustainability offers a choice to work with governments, institutions and nonprofits, Dr. Groves noted. Communication with local, county and state offices could become a path for young people to learn about different jobs and departments while they are still in high school or college. Finance is another realm in which a sustainability career could blossom,

according to Groves. The transformations to more sustainable sets of systems and practices are critical, and the professor said pressures arise with countries like India and its population of 1.4 billion seeking to become more prosperous. He notes the importance of international finance and developing understanding of the markets. “For science as an academic field, Groves asserts that there is a tremendous amount that we do not yet understand about the world around us. He believes students who pursue formal science education and training will benefit from future sustainability goals and opportunities. In engineering Dr. Groves finds computer science to be an overlooked field for integrating new sustainable technologies, research and data collection. Education is another sector/industry where sustainability can be applied, as many students who arrive at Dr. Grove’s classes at the University of Virginia question why they had not received more information on sustainability in their K through 12 education.

From page 1 pesticides and fertilizers. “With critical sustainability dimensions it’s as much about feeding the 8 billion people around the globe as a sustainability challenge, as much as anything from transforming energy systems, industry (goods and services), the transportation economy, and commercial and residential buildings,” he explained. For students at the high school level or continuing in college, Dr. Groves shared the message that pursuing areas of passion and interest trump specific sustainability-related subjects and science majors. He began with a few thoughts on the value of trained and skilled people with backgrounds in electrical and mechanical trades and construction, and how it relates to the future of sustainability. “The field of sustainability is broad and multifaceted. If we want society from the local level to nationally and globally to move in a more sustainable direction there are all sorts of ways to get involved. The trades are critically

He explained the broad appeal of how the topic could be integrated into courses, from science and math to English writing assignments, civics and the history of the environmental movement. “For a young person it’s important to identify and study an area that’s of interest to you. Then, any time you have an option, whether it is selecting a course or completing an assignment or project within a course, think about how you can direct that assignment towards learning and thinking more about sustainability. There are tremendous opportunities to contribute from anywhere. Build your base. Then, whenever possible, focus on sustainability activities,” Dr. Groves said. The overarching message Groves shared at Garden City’s January 10 Sustainability Roundtable is for young people to choose to pursue an area or academic subject they are interested in, and then “apply knowledge to the advance of sustainability” within the specific arena/field.

Christine Vaskas, Nicole Almeida, Matthew Spirakis, Steven Spirakis, Tanner Schmitt, Luke Schmitt, Kate Connolly and Zachary Zander. Teen Project’s Steven and Matthew Spirakis, and the Charlie’s Champions Foundation’s T.J., Luke, Charlie, and Tanner Schmitt raised funding and awareness for teen patients during the holiday season through NYU Langone’s Giving platform. Last month, with substantial local community support, Holiday Project raised over $26,000 to provide age-appropriate gifts to hospitalized teens. This is the fundraiser’s 10th consecutive year which has funded over $170,000 for NYU Langone Hospital—Long Island through the Child Life Program and the Cancer Center for Kids—Mineola (CCFK). Garden City students participated in the Holiday Project by creating an online fundraising page and sharing their message to spread holiday cheer. Kate Connolly and Kiera Ruoff coordinated this project with Garden City High School students. It was a pleasure for the Italian Club to contribute to the cause with the support of its moderator, Mr. D’Ambrosio, and its principal, Mr. Steingruebner. Additionally, the Connolly and Zander families’ support over the years contributed greatly to Holiday Project’s success. Zachary and Delaney Zander have raised $24,000 over the past eight years for the project. Their actions demonstrated how teens

can truly support one another in times of need. New this year, the Garden City Middle School is participating through its GC Cares-a-thon scheduled for Friday, January 26, 2024. GCMS students Charlie Ruoff and Braden Parker will accept gift card donations at the event and host a card creation station. Students can write inspirational messages of support for teen patients at NYU Langone Hospital. Community service hours will be awarded to students who participate in the event. Additional team members who participated through the NYU Langone Giving platform for the Holiday Project and continue their steadfast support each year include: Michael Ferrucci, Gus Galli, Preston Longo, Brendan Ohl, Julia Rosenblatt and Mary Katherine Allen. A teen patient’s physical and emotional well-being is strengthened by the collaborative efforts of these individuals and donations raised through this campaign. Thank you for collaborating with Teen Project and Charlie’s Champions Foundation to make this Holiday Project possible to benefit teen patients.
