Village continues consideration of apartment complex
BOYS LAX ROLLING ALONG
BY RIKKI N. MASSAND
Department’s rich heritage is rooted with independent fire companies that began to form in 1899 following a devasting fire at the Garden City Hotel. Then, in 1920, these companies came together with 31 local residents becoming “charter” members. Soon after, the Department was integrated into the Village Government and since 1920, hundreds of resident men and women have proudly served in the ranks of the Volunteer Fire Service in Garden City for more than 100 years. Today, the GCFD is a combination of volunteer and paid firefighters.
As May arrives, the Village of Garden City will have additional hearings on the proposed 150 apartment development for 555 Stewart Avenue, adjacent to Roosevelt Field. Plans are in place for the hearings and reviews of related legislation to conclude by the Board of Trustees’ May 24th meeting. Garden City resident Kevin Walsh, the attorney for the applicant (550 Stewart Acquisitions LLC) presented the Board of Trustees with the traffic study comments document from consultants Cameron Engineering at the last hearing on April 12th and spoke about items related to the site’s environmental review (SEQR). Special counsel to the village hired for zoning-related applications is A. Tom Levin of Garden City-based law firm Meyer, Suozzi, English & Klein P.C. On April 12th, just prior to the continuation of the public hearings, Levin announced that some framework and grammatical changes to the proposed new zoning were still being ironed out by the village counsel, Peter Bee. Levin said “non-substantive changes” to the proposed local law to rezone the area, which will allow for 150 apartment units, were going to be posted to the Village of Garden City website starting April 13th for the public to review. “The changes are essentially language, correcting grammar, and to clarify with respect to the maximum height of the project,” Levin told the audience on April 12th. The original proposed legislation stated four stories high or an average height of 45 feet, but Levin says there were difficulties to determine what an average height of the building would be given the design. Also the stipulation conflicts as there aren’t any such restrictions stated in Village Code regarding “average height.” Essentially, the new legislation will state “the project shall not exceed four stories or a height of 45 feet” and the word ‘average’ is deleted. Meanwhile, the process to establish the Board of Trustees as the lead agency for the project’s SEQRA (State Environmental Quality Review Act) compli-

A WORD FROM THE PUBLISHER
Reduce waste to reduce litter
This week in our letters to the editor column we feature a letter about litter around the Village. In particular, Parking Field 9E has become quite trashed over the winter. The back fence and the old railroad right of way have collected a large amount of junk, and we hope the Village can send out some workers to clean it up. However, sending out workers is only a short term solution, because inevitably the trash will collect there, and in other parking lots as well. Perhaps if there were receptacles available it would help, although then they would have to be emptied by Village employees, which is an additional cost. Some areas, such as Suffolk County, have reduced trash by regulating the use of plastic shopping bags. In Suffolk,
shoppers have to pay a nickel per bag when they shop. Although it's only a small fee, the reduction in use of plastic bags has been impressive. In many supermarkets, shoppers now bring their own reusable cloth bags rather than paying for single use plastic. Other municipalities are talking about banning other kinds of single use plastics, such as beverage containers and straws. The result of these kinds of laws is twofold: they help reduce the amount of litter in the streets, and they also reduce the amount of non-biodegradable materials that go into our landfills, or worse, into our streams and oceans. What do you think? Should Nassau follow Suffolk's lead and also regulate single use plastics?

Village needs to control litter
To the Editor: I was driving north on Hilton Avenue over the railroad tracks when I noticed two rats scurrying across the street into the Seventh Street parking lot. As I turned into the parking lot, I was amazed by the amount of garbage with a particularly large concentration stretching along the back of the lot by the tracks. After receiving an unsolicited cash offer for our home, which we accepted, my wife and I moved into an apartment on 365 Stewart Avenue. We first toured 365 after a snow storm and were unaware of the staggering amount of garbage in the parking lot behind 365 and the restaurants. The snow plows did an excellent job of pushing the trash into bushes. It wasn’t until we moved to 365 and the snow melted, did we realize that Garden City is up to its ears in litter. Every parking lot has litter issues with little or no garbage cans. The village did a great job of cleaning the parking lot where the Easter Parade began but totally ignored the litter filled lot behind 365. The biggest offender of the litter are the members of New York Sports Club on Franklin Avenue. After exiting the gym the members regularly through their water and energy drink bottles and food wrappers throughout the parking lot. There is also an assortment of socks and underwear strewn throughout the parking lot as well. Although the Franklin Avenue parking lot is by far the worst scenario, litter is a village wide problem and must be addressed. There must be anti-litter signs posted along with the installation of garbage receptacles in all village parking lots. Better enforcement of fines for litter must be implemented. More importantly Village Hall must make it a priority to regularly do a better job in controlling the litter. William Keegan

New concourse serves few
To the Editor:
Recent leaking from pipes above the $300 million Long Island Rail Road West End Corridor which resulted in puddles all over the floor and brown stains on the ceiling is just the latest bad news. Still missing from the June 2017 opening of this facility eleven months later is a seating area and rest rooms. (Was the MTA & LIRR afraid of the homeless invading this new facility?) There are still only three new ticket vending machines which do not accept cash. Governor Cuomo proudly proclaiming opening of the new West End Penn Station Concourse in June 2017 continues to be a band aid to bigger problems. In 1994, the estimated cost for the new Moynihan Amtrak Station to be built at the old 33rd Street Farley Post Office site was $350 million. Completion was forecast, including a new Penn Station West End Concourse, by 1999. Fast forward 24 years later, Phase one for the new West End Penn Station Concourse cost $300 million. Phase two for the actual new Amtrak Station will be $1.6 billion! None of these improvements will add any new platforms and tracks. This is necessary to increase rush hour capacity for adding any new Amtrak, Long Island Rail Road and New Jersey Transit or future Metro North service. No funds under this project will bring antiquated tracks, signals, power and interlockings, which contribute to increased service disruptions, back to a state of good repair. A new concourse continues to serve a minority of riders. It has done little to date for those still stuck waiting for canceled or late trains that are unable to access Penn Station. Larry Penner (Larry Penner is a transportation historian and advocate who previously worked 31 years for the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration Region 2 NY Office).

Dr. Anton Koekemoer Can a scientific understanding of the universe be reconciled with one’s faith? Dr. Anton Koekemoer, research astrophysicist at the Hubble Space Telescope, believes that science can enrich our spiritual lives rather than contradict it. Dr. Koekemoer will speak at the Cathedral of the Incarnation on Thursday, May 3rd at 7PM. A catered reception will precede the lecture at 6pm. The event is free of charge, though registration is required. Dr. Koekemoer has held a research position at the Space Telescope Science
Institute in Baltimore, Maryland since 1996. He has been ranked by ThomsonReuters among the world’s highest impact scientists in astronomy and astrophysics over the past decade. His research interests include the formation of galaxies and black holes in the early universe and their growth over cosmic time. Dr. Koekemoer is also a committed Christian whose faith plays a central role in his life, and he believes that an understanding of the universe can be reconciled in harmony with religion. At the lecture, Dr. Koekemoer plans to highlight some of the exciting astronomical discoveries about the universe, such as black holes, giant clouds of star formation, and other discoveries revealed by the Hubble Space Telescope. He will also present images from the Hubble that were used to create and inspire the illustrations in The Saint John’s Bible. A Heritage Edition of The Saint John’s Bible along with framed pages will be on view at the event as well. The lecture is sponsored by the Mercer School of Theology and presented in collaboration with the Garden City Clergy Fellowship. To register for a free ticket, visit www.ScienceandFaith.

Third Track Update
Pre-construction activities for the Third Track project to improve the LIRR’s Main Line from Floral Park to Hicksville have begun. Actual construction in the Village of Garden City is not expected to take place until late 2018. LIRR Right-of-Way Access Gates: This activity will install gates on LIRR property at the end of two streets to create access onto the railroad right-of-way.
During the week of April 28, work is scheduled to take place at the end of Whitehall Boulevard and on Kensington Road where it abuts the LIRR right-of-way. Surface Surveying: This activity will make it possible to create accurate maps and measurements for the project design. Surveyors in hard hats and high visibility vests using sighting equipment will be visible on local streets, including near bridges and crossings. April and May: Scheduled to take place at New Hyde Park Road, to locate test pits, utility pole locations and street elevations and at Merillon Ave. station to locate existing poles, information on platforms and street elevations and geometry. Subsurface Surveying: This activity will obtain geological data adjacent to the LIRR right-ofway. Soil sampling for environmental testing will also be scheduled at designated locations. Large machines in the street will take these samples and imagery.

The Family and Matrimonial Court project is being constructed in two phases: Phase 1 – Core and Shell ($74,525,004) and Phase 2 – Interior Fit-out ($136,538,520). According to a Nassau County report regarding the project, Phase 1 construction is approximately 65 percent complete; structural steel modifications are about 85 percent complete; spray fireproofing is progressing; perimeter slab edge extensions are being prepared for concrete; the courtyard façade is on track for a June 2018 completion; exterior façade rough framing is about 40 percent and sheathing 25 percent complete at floors 1-3; and all of the terra cotta façade materials are on site. Phase 2 is slated to commence as soon as Phase 1 is completed and is expected to take two years to complete, with anticipated occupancy in early 2021. Phase 2 entails a fit out of the interior of the building with new mechanical, electrical, heating, ventilation, air conditioning and life safety systems; all new interior finishes; 23 courtrooms/hearing rooms for Family Court on the first and second floors; and 13 courtrooms/hearing rooms for Matrimonial Court on the third floor.

555 Stewart Avenue Public hearings continue May 10
Two public hearings first held March 22, 2018 to consider a proposed local law to amend the Village’s R-T Zone regulations, grant a special use permit and grant site plan review regarding vacant land located at 555 Stewart Avenue will continue during the Thursday, May 10, 2018 Board of Trustees meeting beginning at 8:00 p.m. 550 Stewart Acquisitions LLC is requesting the zoning change or amendment to permit a multiple dwelling building at the property. The Zoning Change Review Committee has been reviewing this application for many months. The property is a 4.5 acre lot which is presently vacant and unsightly. As proposed, the construction would include 150 rental units - 20 one-bedroom, 115 two-bedroom and 15 three-bedroom units. As required by the Federal Court decision, 15 units would be classified as affordable, while the remaining units would be at market price. Details of the proposed multiple residence building are included in the Committee’s report and recommendation to the Board of Trustees, copies of which are available on the Village’s website, www.gardencityny.net, and at Village Hall.
Ladder Truck 147
The Board approved a $9,955 change order for the purchase of a new ladder truck for the Fire Department. The New Ladder Truck Committee met with the manufacturer and engineers and after a lengthy discussion it was decided that additional items were needed to make the truck functional for Garden City, according to 1st Assistant Thomas Strysko. The original contract price of $1,325,569 was amended to $1,335,524. Funds are available in the Capital Project Account. A continuing issue that we have with our firehouses is that they were built long ago when fire vehicles were smaller. Renovations to these buildings are costly and may not make sense. Additionally, we have three Long Island Rail Road bridges that are of low height. Because of the problems with the buildings and the bridges, we have to order specially modified vehicles, adding to their cost. UNPAID SIDEWALK REPAIRS, PROPERTY MAINTENANCE AND BAMBOO BILLS At its April 12, 2018 Board meeting, Trustees adopted a resolution which places unpaid sidewalk repairs, high See page 50

Rosemary Long, Lorraine Merz, Jade Mo, Carol Valenti and Cynthia Bednarz gathered to finalize plans for the Friends of the Garden City Public Library Book Sale. Have you ever searched Amazon or Barnes and Noble to find a cherished cookbook or novel, only to find out that it's no longer available? Have you ever spent hours searching through catalogs or The Pear Tree to find just the right present for your mother, father, or friend who already seems to have everything? The Friends of the Garden City Public Library are here to offer you a possible solution to your quests. On Saturday, May 5th from 9:30AM–5:30PM and Sunday, May 6th from 1 to 4PM, the Friends of the Garden City Public Library will be holding a spectacular, not to be missed, Spring Book Sale. The sale will be so big this year that it will take place in two rooms on the Library’s lower level. The sale, which benefits the Garden City Public Library, will feature over fifty categories covering every subject from anthropology to zoology. There will be a large selection of CDs, DVDs, comic books, old treasures, autographed books, coffee table books, current bestsellers, and travel books. The list could go on and on. A special feature of the sale this year will be unique, specially chosen “Books in a Basket”. Each gift basket will be based on a theme such as “The Crafty Grandma,” an “Out to Brunch Basket”, “For the Love of the Yankees
Basket”, “The Momma Mia Basket”, “The ESPN Addict Basket”, “Please Read Me Just One More Basket”, a “Red, White and Blue Basket”, “Ready for the Royal Wedding Basket”, and “The Green Thumb Basket”, to name a just a few. You will be able to bid on the baskets in a silent auction or use the “Buy Now” option to bring the basket home immediately. This year, a special preview sale will be conducted on Thursday, May 3rd from 5–8PM for everyone who has joined the Friends by responding in the past to their annual membership appeal by becoming a donor, patron, sponsor, or benefactor. Membership will also be available at the doors of the book sale for those who wish to become a member or to renew their membership for 2018.

Lee Williams, Owner Reports on CycleBar Garden City
This past Monday, April 23rd, at its lunch meeting at the Garden City Hotel, Club members heard Lee Williams, Garden City resident, and owner of CycleBar Garden City, tell us of all the amenities provided by Garden City’s new CycleBar studio at 950 Franklin Avenue, which offers a new concept in indoor cycling. Lee told of us his search for the perfect town and location, in which to launch CycleBar, the world’s largest indoor cycling studio. Our Garden City facility is becoming a great place to meet with friends and associates while participating in a high intensity workout. “It’s almost like going to a nightclub, Lee said. With 48 cycles on premises, Lee said he looks forward to participating in community events and can even move a few cycles to enhance various staging areas. The most popular cycling times have been early morning and evening slots, he said. State of the art CycleBar Garden City is led by instructors who take participants through a 45-minute high energy ride. Concierge service is provided and
amenities include cycling shoes, showers, and lockers. Lee Williams left his 15-year-plus year background as a successful corporate finance executive to pursue his dream of owning an indoor cycle studio. He is well versed in multisite business models and ha analyzed and financed franchises, commercial real estate as well as public and private corporations in addition to all manner of international corporate life-cycle financings through his career. Interestingly, earlier in his career, Williams spent 3 years as a full-time soccer player (Everton F.C., England, UK). Although despite being offered to extend his professional soccer career, he decided to leave sports and pursue his passion for business.

Cheryl Posilico, right, at the 32nd Annual Night of a Thousand Gowns gala with an attendee. The Imperial Court of New York, celebrating 31 years of service to the LGBTQ community, presented an award of $10,850 at their 32nd Annual Night of a Thousand Gowns gala to the Adelphi NY Statewide Breast Cancer Hotline & Support Program, located in Garden City. Receiving the funds was Cheryl Posilico, a masters level social work intern who lives in Rockville Centre. This is the third grant that the Adelphi Program has received from the Imperial Court. Keyth Atiles, vice president of the board of directors, said that
this yearly grant is given in honor of a breast cancer survivor who is the sister of Imperial Court members Kevin and Kerry Wisher of Bay Shore. “We are so very appreciative of the generosity of the Imperial Court which helps supports our many free services to those diagnosed with breast cancer,” says Hillary Rutter, the executive director of the Adelphi Breast Cancer Program.

THE VIEW FROM HERE
Retirement plan social investing: The case for caution BY BOB MORGAN, JR. This is very much a recurring controversy, but the strong strain of activism on many fronts has once again brought out the debate as to the proper role of retirement plan fund managers as it relates to social policy. Specifically, the question is whether these managers should take into account in investment decisions what are called economic, social and governance (SGE) issues. A recent example of activism was the decision announced earlier this year by both the New York State and New York City retirement funds to divest themselves of investments in fossil fuel companies and to replace some of these investments with clean energy investments. One of the professed reasons for this change was encouraging reduction of greenhouse emissions to meet the standards of the Paris accords, although it was also claimed that the end of the fossil fuel investments lessened economic risk. On the federal level, the Obama administration and the Trump administration have taken somewhat divergent positions. In a recently issued bulletin the Trump Department of Labor in effect pushed back on prior guidance that seemed to encourage consideration of SGE issues. The recent bulletin declared that “fiduciaries must not too readily treat ESG factors as economically relevant to the particular investment choices at issue when making a decision. It does not ineluctably follow from the fact that an investment promotes ESG factors, or that it arguably promotes positive general market trends or industry growth, that the investment is a prudent choice for retirement or other investors. Rather, ERISA fiduciaries must always put first the economic interests of the plan in providing retirement benefits.” It should be noted that potential advocacy of social investment does not have to be restricted to the political left. More conservative institutions could try to exclude investments in, for example, media companies perceived as too liberal or, in this age of President Trump, adopt an “America First” approach, restricting investments to United States companies. Activism of a purely economic nature may make good sense. For
example, plan shareholders may wish to oppose management of an otherwise sound company that adopts excessively lucrative executive compensation practices. Indeed, there are now recognized proxy advisory groups like Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) and Glass Lewis that regularly scrutinize proxy statements and make recommendations to institutional funds relating to proxy proposals offered by management or dissident shareholders. Following these recommendations may well be warranted, although there is always the option of selling stock of a poorly managed company. My overall belief is that plans should have to tread very carefully with SGE investment goals. In the context of defined benefit plans, the primary duty of retirement plan fiduciaries is to protect the benefits of retirees and insure that plan funding levels are adequate to ensure that beneficiaries, present and future, get their promised payments. This emphasis on financial security is particularly important in an environment where many public retirement plans are substantially underfunded and where the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, the federal guarantor of private defined benefit pension plans, is under financial pressure. Changing the focus from economic goals to achieving social policy objective seems unwise and far too risky. (And even this ignores the possibility of unwise investments in businesses that are the favorites of, or otherwise connected to, plan managers.) The situation is a little more murky in respect of 401(k) and other self-directed retirement plans. At least in this instance the participant is investing his or her own money. Accordingly, as the most recent Department of Labor bulletin suggests, it may not be unreasonable for a 401(k) plan to offer an economic sound investment option that takes SGE objectives into account. But even here there is room for caution. We do not want retirees to run out of plan money through bad investment choices. Also, 401(k) plans involve significant tax expenditures. As an overall rule, retirement plans should be viewed as economic, and not social, tools.

Free rabies vaccination clinics for dogs, cats, and ferrets The Nassau County Department of Health and the Town of North Hempstead are partnering to offer free rabies vaccinations for dogs, cats, and ferrets. Open to all Nassau County residents, the vaccination clinic will be held on Saturday, May 5, from 10AM to 12PM at the Town of North Hempstead Animal Shelter located at 75 Marino Avenue in Port Washington. “This partnership provides an excellent opportunity for residents to protect their pets as well as their family against rabies,” said Nassau County Executive Laura Curran. “I urge all Nassau County pet-owners to take advantage of this free vaccination clinic, and I thank the Town of North Hempstead for partnering with Nassau County.” “Rabies vaccination for dogs, cats, and domesticated ferrets is required
by New York State law,” said Health Commissioner Dr. Lawrence Eisenstein. “Having an up-to-date rabies vaccination eliminates the need for pets to be euthanized or strictly quarantined for six months in the event your pet comes in contact with animals that are known to carry and transmit the virus. To protect your family and your pet, it is absolutely essential that your animals have up-to-date rabies inoculations.” In order to visit this free clinic, all dogs are required to be on leashes and cats, and ferrets must be in enclosed carriers. To make a reservation at this vaccination clinic, call the Town of North Hempstead at (516) 869-6311. For additional information on rabies contact the Nassau County Department of Health at (516) 227-9663.

Los Bad Hombres at Leo’s: May is cystic fibrosis awareness month

This is a photograph of the very first house built in Garden City. After Stewart bought the Hempstead Plains in 1869, he needed to construct a house/office for his architect, John Kellum. In the spring of 1870, this house was constructed on the SW corner of First Street and Rockaway Avenue. Rockaway already existed as a dirt road leading north from Hempstead, so the location was a good one. From this house, Garden City was laid out and the plans for buildings created. Kellum would die the following year, but his plans were carried out. The first group of ten houses went up in 1872 (later nicknamed “Apostles” ) and the first hotel in 1874. In the early 1960’s, this house was torn down and replaced by modern homes.

John J. Hyland
John J. Hyland
John J. Hyland, 66, of Garden City, passed away at home on April 22nd, 2018 after a brief, but valiant, battle with cancer. John is survived by his wife, Sandy, his children John Banning (Emily), and Megan, his grandchildren Chase and Marley, his sister Patricia Bambino (Nicholas), and brother Edmund (Joan Marie). He was predeceased by his wife of 39 years, Denise Moores Hyland, his parents Thomas F. and Kathleen Hyland, his siblings Kathryn and Thomas, Jr., and his niece Melissa Bambino. He was also the revered uncle to nine nieces and nephews, seven grand nieces & nephews, and was a friend and mentor to many. John was a graduate of Regis High School, The College of the Holy Cross and St. John’s University Law School. His intelligence, wit, reason and debating skills made him well suited for the
practice of law. He started his career with the firms Brady and Tarpey, and Surrey and Morse, but spent the majority of it with Jones Day, where he was the administrative partner for the Global M&A Practice through 2016. He then served of counsel to Jones Day and retired from the firm at the end of 2017. John oversaw transactions which were featured in The American Lawyer magazine and was recognized as one of Manhattan’s “Super Lawyers” in M&A. In addition to his legal accomplishments, he was regarded as a mentor and culture carrier to many at Jones Day. John was a longtime and active member of the Ocean Reef Club (Key Largo, FL), the Lawrence Beach Club (Atlantic Beach, NY), the Garden City Country Club, and the Garden City Golf Club where he served on the Board of Governors and was a past President. He also was a past member of the Garden City School Board and was trustee of the David and Mildred Morse Trust which provides funding to numerous educational endeavors. John loved golf, watching sports, the beach, and putting his mind to work in books and crossword puzzles. Most of all, he enjoyed spending time with his family and making those around him, particularly his granddaughters, laugh. He will be sorely missed. Visitation was held on Wednesday and Thursday at Fairchild Sons Funeral Home, Inc., 1201 Franklin Avenue, Garden City, NY. Mass of Christian Burial will be on Friday, April 27th, 2018 at 11:15AM at St. Anne’s R.C. Church, Garden City, NY. Interment to follow at St. John’s Cemetery, Middle Village, NY.

Music Academy students audition for talent agent
Recently, students enrolled in the Music Academy’s Musical Theatre Program had the incredible opportunity to audition for a talent agent from the Carson Alder Agency, one of Manhattan’s top recruiters for Broadway, television and film. For the event, each student prepared a song and monologue, which they skillfully performed for Shirley Faison of Carson Adler. Ms. Faison is not only a talent recruiter, but knows the business from a parent’s perspective as well, since her son is the famous actor Donald Faison. Donald is most well known for his roles in the movie Clueless and on the sitcom
Scrubs. After students performed for Ms. Faison, they participated in a master class and received critiques on their acting, singing, and stage presence. Ms. Faison also held a Q&A with Music Academy parents who wanted to know more about signing with a talent agent, and the mechanics of getting their children on stage and film. The audition and class are part of the Music Academy’s Musical Theatre Program, and similar classes with industry professionals are held throughout the school year and during Musical Theatre Summer Camps.

Seeing the participants playing, enjoying themselves, and beautifying our park with their planting brings our mission to life and that is what we truly love to see and be a part of!”

From page 1 ance has moved forward. Levin said only the Nassau County Department of Health commented on the Board’s application for that role, and it stated it has no objection for the Board to serve as lead agency. “There are a number of items that will still have to go before the Department of Health for approval, as is the case with all applications of this type. We will certainly be complying with all of those, but at this point the Board establishes (itself) as the lead agency for the project,” he explained. The Board of Trustees must still review the Environmental Assessment Form that was submitted by 550 Stewart Acquisitions LLC and attorney Kevin Walsh. At the last meeting Walsh said by April 20th his firm will file “responses to environmental comments” on behalf of the applicants. Levin concurred as he told the Board there were revisions to be made on that official form in midApril, followed by analysis from consultants to the village at H2M Engineering. “Hopefully, we would have that in the coming days. The next step is for the Board to make its environmental determination -- a negative or positive declaration on whether the project does or doesn’t have significant adverse impacts. Then Garden City will refer it to Nassau County Planning Commission and give them ample time to make a non-binding recommendation back to the Board. When all of that is done, the Board can finally get to the heart of this and make its decision on the applications for the project,” Levin said at the last meeting. The next step for the public hearings on 555 Stewart Avenue and its related zoning application will come on Thursday night, May 10th. Levin anticipates holding at least one more round of public comments on May 10th, and in the meantime, getting the application ready for an environmental determination by the April 26th Board meeting. “If everything else falls into place, on May 10 the Board would be in position to finish public hearings. If you are prepared by then to act, you could do so, or make the determination at the May 24th meeting,” he said. Walsh advises that his full team, including a traffic engineer, would be present at the next hearing on May 10th to answer any questions the Board or the public pose. “If Mayor Daughney and Mr. Levin agree, I can take notes on public comments and submit responses prior to the next series of meetings, whichever way the village directs me to do it,” he said on April 12th. Former village trustee Thomas Lamberti challenged the proposition of the 555 Stewart Avenue project receiving a tax reduction through the Industrial Development Agency. Lamberti believed that the plan was for an IDA application to include Nassau
County, Village of Garden City, and school district taxes, but the Board explained that the “village would be made whole” and the school board would be the governing body that needs to weigh the issue of the IDA applied for towards the offset of school district taxes. Lamberti stated his thoughts on why that will be unreasonable for Garden City’s tax base overall. “I have an objection with the real estate developer’s proposal to have this project financed by tax dollars from our tax base to pay for their construction costs. We should have this discussion early on and not later -- I do not believe there’s an economic justification for it. The powers at the Industrial Development Agency has should take interest in this $60 million project, and they should not use of taxpayer dollars from us to finance its construction. The developers advocate for this because they state the village and schools are getting contributed taxes on its vacant land now. Then they can enter into the PILOT (payment in lieu of taxes) -- for the school tax -- and it would take 20 years for their contributions to match market values,” Lamberti told the Board of Trustees. Walsh later addressed the potential amounts of per-year village taxes the developer will pay for 555 Stewart Avenue with the project if it moves ahead, and he estimated payment between $225,000 and $240,000 (village taxes alone) which would be over a tenfold increase over the taxes currently paid on the vacant lot, which are about $19,000 a year. Walsh described this as a “considerable positive.” Despite the financial implications, Lamberti says he is particularly pleased that the village can make progress with affordable housing as part of a resolution involving the 555 Stewart Avenue application, which would include 15 AH units (10% of the proposed 150). Resident Bob Orosz spoke about the willingness of the developer to build on its Stewart Avenue property stemming from “such a small donation” to the village and especially with its potential school district tax contribution with an IDA and/or PILOT involved. At the first round of the hearing on March 22nd, Orosz commented that the project, based on estimated school district budget and per-pupil costs, could increase the district’s operations financing by up to one million dollars if more than 30 students are a result of the new 150 apartments. Again, he addressed the Board and fellow residents on April 12th with long-term finances as the chief concern. “Why should taxpayers of Garden City have to put up with their own taxes increasing by $500,000 or one million dollars just so the developer can maximize his profits. Please remember that S.A.L.T. is gone and we can no longer utilize state and local taxes off as a fed-
eral tax deduction and that will add to our plight. I am not asking the Board to fulfill the role of an IDA but I am asking where your heads are at in terms of letting developers get away with this type of payment toward our taxes -- I am sure the Board of Trustees could approach Nassau IDA and request for the developer’s donation to be changed (increased)?” Orosz asked. Mayor Brian Daughney said at the current time, the Board is only taking comments, and to answer Orosz’s follow-up question he said the trustees will certainly discuss that tax and financial outlook for the project in the course of the hearings and decision making. After he asked about the Nassau County IDA hearing or meeting schedule to be made public on the village website, counsel A. Tom Levin stepped in to say “the Board is now listening to everybody and considering all parts of the application.” “The developer has the right under the state law, which created IDA’s, to make an application to the county IDA for an exemption -- a process which cannot be made until they have obtained the various project approvals. Down the road, after the village is finished with its consideration of the project and if the village approves the project the applicant has the right under state law to apply to the IDA which is not part of village government. Everybody has the right to attend the IDA hearing and argue for or against whatever relief the developer is asking for, then the IDA will make its decision. When and if that application to the IDA happens, this Board of Trustees can review it and decide to take a position on it at that point in time” Levin said. Orosz counters that the step-by-step view is hard to believe: “Either the Board of Trustees backs the residents or they back the developer, so which side of the equation are they on?” he asked. Mayor Daughney told Orosz he hears him, but the comments at the hearings assume his (Orosz’s) opinion are the best interests of the village, and the members of the Board may or may not agree with the assertions related to the project’s impact. Trustee Robert Bolebruch ballasted that by saying for him as a Board member it is difficult to provide an opinion on an application (to the IDA) that has not been filed yet, or suggested for approval by the village. “Myself and the rest of the Board will sit back and form an opinion once we

have something to form an opinion on,” Trustee Bolebruche said, adding that he understands Orosz’s concern that this IDA process is coming down the road ‘one way or another.’ EPOA President Tom Hogan also spoke during public comments and said new members of village boards and commissions be approached for input on large-scale projects in the village “to be considered on a more proactive basis.” Hogan reminds the mayor that there was much time spent interviewing candidates for the various boards and commissions (ADRB, Zoning Board and Planning Commission) in 2017 and into this year, and he would like to see the talented residents and volunteer individuals have an opportunity to advise and help Garden City on a more routine basis. Steve Ilardi of Meadow Street, the EPOA vice president, asked for the developer’s attorney Kevin Walsh to clarify the height of the proposed apartment complex as either four stories at 45 feet tall, or ‘two to five’ stories as specified in the plans. Walsh got up and replied that Ilardi also asked for Walsh to fulfill a role of notifying the Village of Garden City on the steps with the possible IDA application, so that the information and a meeting schedule of the county IDA with the project could be posted on the village’s website “for any citizen that wants to go to the I.D.A hearings -- so at least the village can inform its residents when the hearings will take place. At the April 12th meeting, Walsh said he’s agreed to notify both the Village of Garden City and the Garden City Public Schools’ officials once the IDA process is outlined. “We anticipate that from the $100,000 to $110,000 in annual school taxes we (the developer) is paying now and going up to over one million dollars, as the IDA the phase-in of the PILOT contribution happens over a number of years. The PILOT would be based on numbers above $100,000 a year and whatever the taxes are the year the PILOT kicks in. We’d never go down from the current $100,000 a year in school taxes. With the phase-in set by the IDA, there could be a discussion at its public hearing with the public present to exactly what the IDA will approve for our phase-in on the school taxes -- I am prepared to discuss those issues when we get to that point. It is premature to do so now as we do not have any approvals,” Walsh said.

IN MEMORIAM
Alfonso Albert DiMeo
Alfonso Albert DiMeo
Alfonso DiMeo’s parents, Albert and Carmela DiMeo, both immigrated from Southern Italy as children, and married and settled in the Bronx in the heart of the Italian-American community near Arthur Avenue. Albert was an iron worker and built a successful business, providing for his five children -- Charlotte, Apollonia (Bella), Alfonso, Alfred, and Gloria -- through the Great Depression and beyond. As the first born son of hard working immigrants, “Sonny” -- as he was called by his mother – was charged with high expectations – expectations that he was to exceed throughout his life. Naturally very intelligent, he had an incredible work ethic, and was academically successful enough to be accepted into Stuyvesant High School. He was the only boy from his neighborhood to attend, and made the long commute via subway with a quarter in his pocket each day.
After graduation, he attended the City College of New York, at the time probably the premiere public academic institution in the world. He studied engineering, and was drafted into the Army Corps of Engineers, where he received additional training in Virginia. The war ended before his deployment, and after graduation, he went to work for the City of New York. Al moved up the ranks and became the Chief Engineer of the Public Housing Division, and as such, was responsible for a great many projects that permanently changed the physical landscape of the city and provided housing for thousands of New Yorkers. Decidedly non-political, he worked through numerous administrations, a testament to his well-known honesty and work ethic. While working for the City, Al met Nancy Ocuto, who was hired into his secretarial pool. Al was known as a difficult boss – a perfectionist who did not tolerate any effort less than 100%. Nancy recalled being terrified of him and wanting to quit, but soon became indispensable to him, and after years of working together, a close relationship blossomed into romance. After 46 years of bachelorhood, he and Nancy -- 19 years his junior -- married in 1971. His two children Albert and Christopher completed the family soon thereafter. While known as a demanding and authoritative uncle to his many nieces and nephews, Al mellowed considerably as a father, and was a demanding but very tender role model to his boys. He and Nancy moved to Garden City where they lovingly labored over their house at Stewart Avenue, which Al renovated inside and out, building a

garage, new driveways, patios, gardens and terraces, working with the crews and laborers every step of the way. Al’s career took him first to National Kinney and then to DeMatteis Organizations as Executive Vice-President, where he worked in Saudi Arabia and received numerous professional awards and recognition. But every day before putting on his suit, he would don his work clothes and spend an hour or two in the yard. Each evening, he would join his family for dinner, and then it was back to work around the house or in the yard. Inspired by his work ethic and stamina, his boys both worked hard and attended Chaminade High School, Duke University, and the University of Pennsylvania Medical School. Albert is now a cardiothoracic surgeon at St. Francis Hospital and Christopher is an anesthesiologist at the Hospital for Special Surgery. Al had the energy and drive of a young man well into his 80’s and continued to work at DeMatteis until his retirement at age 87. Around that time his true age caught up with him and he began to show signs of dementia. A year later, Nancy was diagnosed with cancer. Al had always been a model of spousal fidelity and love and Nancy’s struggles were especially hard for him to deal with. A blessing of his dementia is that he was never able to grasp the severity of Nancy’s disease – a full understanding of her illness would have devastated him. Amazingly, Nancy’s main concern throughout her difficult treatment was Al’s health and well-being. He fell and fractured his hip in October of 2016 and spent more than 3 months in a rehabilitation facility – Nancy would spend 14 hours a day with
him, despite her ongoing chemotherapy with its terrible side effects. Nancy’s last wish was that Al would be never be placed in a nursing home, which Albert and Christopher honored after her death on April 9th, 2017. Al lived with Albert’s family in an apartment on the grounds with the care of his excellent full-time aide, Judy. With worsening dementia and minimal mobility, Al nevertheless was surrounded by the love of his children and grandchildren, and lived to see the birth of his 7th grandchild 3 months ago. He enjoyed the daily attentions of his family until he abruptly passed away in his sleep on April 17th. From a humble beginning in the Bronx, through the love and example of his hard-working immigrant family, Al achieved the American dream. After his father’s death in 1965, Al became the patriarch of his large extended family. He was heavily involved with his siblings and their children, and loomed over their lives as a major figure. He always used what power and experience he had to generously help his friends and family. He was a loyal and loving husband to Nancy. As a father, he provided a loving inspiration for his sons as an exemplar of the masculine virtues of self-mastery, sacrifice, piety, loyalty, and hard work. Those of us who knew and loved him will miss him, but are consoled by the knowledge that he has rejoined his beloved parents, siblings, and his beloved wife. “I have competed well; I have finished the race; I have kept the faith” -2 Timothy, 4: 7

Says Jenn, a licensed clinical social worker who lives in Stony Brook, “I walk to support and honor so many people who have been affected by breast cancer. Just this past year alone, four of my friends (who are in their early 40’s) were diagnosed with breast cancer. I have witnessed the physical and emotional impact breast cancer can have on individuals.” Rachel, a Greenlawn resident and

also a social worker, participated in the walk last year. “I like this walk because the money is paid directly to agencies that add to the quality of life of someone diagnosed with breast cancer.

Sailin’ With The 60’s a rousing success BY MARY CLARKE
PHOTOS BY ROSEANN VERNICE
The Garden City Community Theatre (GCCT) wishes to thank the community for their support. Sailin’ With The 60’s was a rousing success, packing Gardner Hall to near capacity over the weekend of April 13th, 14th, and 15th. Hard at work since the middle of January, the cast and crew exuded style and distinction. When a temporary power
outage interrupted the electrical supply to the stage during opening night, cast and crew adapted and adjusted easily to changing conditions, showing what quick-witted and nimble professionals they are. The show most definitely went on! Great vocals, foot-tapping tunes, and visually appealing staging were on display throughout the weekend. The GCCT greatly appreciates the support and generosity of the community. See you next year!

St. Joseph School Spring Soirée
This past Saturday, over 200 guests packed the Garden City Country Club for The Bloom & Grow Spring Soirée benefiting St. Joseph School. The annual event is held each spring to raise funds to further St. Joseph School’s tradition of excellence in Catholic education. This year’s event was chaired by Sue and Pete Doherty and raised over $110,000 for the school! Many Garden City and area businesses made donations of goods and services that were featured in a variety of silent and live
auctions. The highlight of the evening was certainly the LIVE auction, hosted by former NHL and Islanders’ standout goalie, Rick DiPietro. DiPietro entertained and energized the crowd, even auctioning off his signature Mets pants!!! School Principal Brian Colomban remarked “It was a special night for St. Joseph School, a great community celebration with parents, alumni, parishioners, faculty, and friends. Great things are happening at St. Joe’s.”

Eighth annual TMA Wine Tasting at Walk Street The 8th annual TMA Wine Tasting at Walk Street event took place this past Sunday, March 4th. It was another well attended fundraiser in support of the Garden City Special Education Parents Teachers Association (SEPTA). with a near-record turnout of 80 guests. The late afternoon affair combined fine food and spectacular wine selections with some great conversation and lots of hearty laughs. The party kicked off with a full cocktail hour followed by a four course meal, each with a complimentary wine pairing. All “vinos” were selected by our host, Walk St. owner Bob Kloepfer. The evening also included several raffle prizes, such as $400 in Walk St. gift certificates, two baskets of cheer which were made up of many fine wines, as well as assorted gift cards and St. John’s men’s basketball tickets. The Men’s Association (TMA) President Jim Connolly welcomed the group and congratulated all for their continued support of the efforts of SEPTA and the TMA. With tremendous backing of the community, the TMA is able to make significant contributions to many of the Garden City High School and Middle School programs that benefit the children of our town.
The leaders of SEPTA and TMA
SEPTA Co-President Crissy Dickey thanked the TMA for continually thinking of SEPTA and for supporting their organization. SEPTA is a group that brings together parents, teachers, learning specialists and professionals with a common interest in educating children with special needs. One of the key goals of the group is to ensure that all children receive an education that allows them to reach their full potential, certainly a goal equally supported by the TMA. This year’s “Wine Tasting at Walk St.” was another success. Through the efforts of all involved, over $5,300 was donated to SEPTA. This brings the TMA’s contribution to just about $43,000 for the eight years of this widely popular event. Many thanks go to host Walk St. owner Bob Kloepfer and his fine staff for making for such a wonderful outing.. The TMA encourages residents to continue to support the Association and their future efforts to assist the various programs of the children of Garden City via their many fundraisers thru out the year such as the Fall 50/50 Raffle, Yearbook, and annual NCAA Basketball and Football Championship Game events.

72 Hours in Philadelphia: At Sonesta Philadelphia Rittenhouse Square, Art is More than a Theme, but a Mission BY KAREN RUBIN Philadelphia is like hopping from timecapsule to time-capsule because you go from one authentic site where events happened, where the Founders and builders of this nation actually stood, to another. Come, time-travel with me. And the best way to appreciate it – and be wonderfully
surprised at ever twist and turn– is to walk. That’s how you come upon things you never considered – the historic markers which point out where Wanamaker’s Department Store was, the Ricketts Circus, the American Philosophical Society (founded by Ben Franklin). I practically fall over what closer inspection tells me is the

very townhouse where Thomas Jefferson stayed when he wrote the Declaration of Independence (called “Declaration House”), a short walk from Independence Hall. I used the opening of the brand new Museum of the American Revolution as the theme for my three-day visit to Philadelphia – a really deep dive probe of the Revolutionary War era, a return to understanding the founding of the nation through, as it were, original documents, materials and artifacts, at a time when we need to be reminded. During this all-too-brief time, I also visited the National Museum of American Jewish History, the Benjamin Franklin Museum, Betsy Ross House and the National Constitution Center. But I soon appreciate something more: an arts tradition that is infused throughout: the breathtaking majesty of City Hall built in the Second Empire Style; an Art Deco “Automat” sign; the stunning Art Deco architecture of a building, gorgeous giant murals that pop up out of nowhere, indeed the streetscape. This is why it is so terrific that my hotel, the Sonesta Philadelphia Rittenhouse Square, in downtown Philadelphia, is so well located: because it’s only by walking to places that you can really enjoy these visual surprises. It’s the afternoon when I arrive at the Sonesta (a parking garage is adjacent for added convenience) and after checking in, I have just enough time to explore one attraction on my list. I set out down Market Street, walking through the magnificent City Hall, designed by John McArthur Jr. and constructed between 1871 to 1901 within Penn Square (you can stand on a pedestal placed there to take photos of yourself as a monumental statue) and head down toward the historic district that surrounds Independence Hall. You appreciate the changes in style as

traveling through époques. This becomes my route over the course of my three days in this city, each time setting out on foot and delighting in discovering architecture, historic sites, colorful murals painted across entire building facades. And each evening, I find myself drawn to Rittenhouse Square, a few blocks away, which is hopping with activity and color, with quaint restaurants, taverns and shops alongside the charming urban park. The Sonesta Hotel’s location makes all of this possible. The Sonesta has everything you would want in a city-center hotel (there is even a rooftop swimming pool, in season), an ArtBar where you can have cocktails, Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse for dining, a gallery that showcases local artists. It is ideal as a base for business travelers as well as for those coming for a convention (the state convention center is walking distance) or meetings (it has 16,000 sq. ft of meeting space and 16 conference rooms), like the conference of literary writers who are in attendance during my visit (I wished I could have hung out more with them). But I am visiting for a family occasion, and looking around at the other guests holding flowers and centerpieces and guest-bags, there are many of us who are similarly celebrating, as well as scores of visitors from around the world who appreciate having such a comfortable hub for our expeditions. The parking garage, which is independently owned and operated, is attached to the hotel and is valet only, which is really convenient (you can check out and store your bags with the bellman and keep the car there until you are ready to pick it up; some packages include parking or discounts on parking; other options including a municipal lot, are also in the area). The rooms are spacious, stylishly appointed in what I refer to as “retro modern,” and very comfortable with plush bedding and bathroom amenities. All the rooms have been redesigned and include: flat-screen LCD televisions, complimentary wireless internet service, in-room safe, iHome docking station for iPhone 4, coffee maker, and minirefrigerator. (Feather and fragrance-free rooms are available upon request.) Club Level Guest Rooms also feature Keurig coffee machine, bottled water, plus access to the Sonesta’s club lounge where you are provided continental breakfast daily (with one hot upgraded item), snacks throughout the day; hot and cold hors d’oeuvres; two adult beverages in the evening.
All the rooms have beautiful views of the city; the Junior One-Bedroom Suites feature a stunning view of City Hall, and has a chic living room with contemporary décor flowing into a separate modern bedroom, Queen sleeper sofa, refrigerator, wet bar, oversized bathroom with dressing area, large work station, bathrobes in addition to the other amenities. There are also two-room King Suites and a Presidential Suite. Guests in Executive Club Floor rooms enjoy a complimentary continental breakfast and evening refreshments in a private lounge with their accommodations on weekdays; on weekends, Club Level room guests receive two complimentary drink tickets for beer or wine at the Art Bar and a $10 breakfast voucher in the Art Bar. Embracing & Promoting Philadelphia’s Arts Tradition “We’re so committed to Art, we tattooed it on our face.” Philadelphia is a city whose appreciation for the arts is legendary, and the Sonesta is helping to promote that tradition, in its architecture, interior design, food presentation, and in its collaborations with the local art community and city. I soon realize why its lounge is named “The ArtBar” and why the visual arts provide a vibe for the re-designed and art-inspired hotel: it’s more than a theme, it’s a mission. The Sonesta Hotel Philadelphia embraces and fosters the creation of art in the hotel and the community by partnering with the Center for Emerging Visual Artists. Its in-house art gallery located in the lobby, showcases paintings by local artists which are available for purchase; the gallery rotates every 6 months. The hotel is also promoting the City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program, with a record-breaking mural, 22-stories high, alongside its façade. The mural was completed in just two weeks time. The Sonesta Philadelphia has partnered with Open Source on their citywide exhibition that is bringing 14 international artists to Philadelphia. These artists’ practices vary widely, from sculpture to community muralism to street art. They are working with the City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program to create a new series of public artworks that explore and illuminate Philadelphia’s diverse urban identity. The Sonesta Hotel Philadelphia is a central Open Source venue and a hub for talks, tours, visual documentation, and direct engagement with staff, artists, and curator Pedro Alonzo.

One of the magnificent murals that grace Philadelphia’s streetscape © Karen Rubin/ goingplacesfarandnear.com opensource.muralarts.org/) The City of Philadelphia’s Mural Arts Program is the nation’s largest public art program, “dedicated to the belief that art ignites change. For 30 years, Mural Arts has united artists and communities through a collaborative process, rooted in the traditions of mural-making, to create art that transforms public spaces and individual lives.” Mural Arts engages communities in 50–100 public art projects each year, and maintains its growing collection through a restoration initiative. Each year, 12,000 residents
and visitors tour Mural Arts’ outdoor art gallery (including docent-led trolley and walking tours between sites, as well as audio guides and maps for selfguided visitors, which has become part of the city’s civic landscape and a source of pride and inspiration, earning Philadelphia international recognition as the “City of Murals.” I come upon some of these impressive murals as I walk to the historic district. Sonesta Philadelphia Hotel Deals Year Round The Sonesta Philadelphia is located
close to the Convention Center, Financial District and Rittenhouse Square, and a pleasant walk to the Historic District. There are numerous special rates and packages geared to business travelers, AAA members, government employees and visiting college students as well as property specific seasonal offers and deals tied to special events Package deals, which can be found at the website, are available such as Bed and Breakfast package; Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse Package includes $100 gift card to the steakhouse (located in the hotel) and free parking.

When our trip to Maryland ended in a surprise!
BY CLAIRE LYNCH
One of my dad’s younger cousins married and settled in the Waldorf, Md., area a year or two after she got married. Over the years she acquired a slight southern accent (aka a drawl) but nothing too heavy and she prided herself on her southern hospitality even though she was born in New York City. My brother, Phil, sister, Michelle, and I drove down in my car which took about six hours. Waldorf is about 23 miles south-southeast of Washington, D.C. The whole city is less than 12 square miles and it’s definitely a rural area. Many of Waldorf’s residents work for the federal government. We visited Aunt Karen recently and she had a warm, freshly baked apple pie waiting for us which we enjoyed with some iced tea. The next morning some freshly baked blueberry muffins were sitting in a basket waiting for us to enjoy with breakfast. Some hot waffles dripping with melted butter were placed on our plates before we could even say yes or no to her offer. So was a plate of some scrambled eggs and hash browns. To make it even more appetizing, Aunt Karen had chopped some fresh parsley and basil and sprinkled it over the eggs.
We chatted and sipped some hot coffee from big earthenware mugs that had “Life is Good” printed on them. As we relaxed and talked I couldn’t help but think that we looked and acted like a few tourists even though we had known Aunt Karen all of our lives. We had known her husband, Uncle Bill, for more than 40 years. Of course we weren’t tourists but we were visitors seeing our relatives and we enjoyed every moment of our visit because it’s not often that we have the chance to go to Waldorf, Md., and spend some time there. Besides Aunt Karen and Uncle Bill, their son, Jason, and his wife, Sophie, and their three children lived in the big old house. There was plenty of room for all of them but sometimes it got a little hectic with the seven of them and the three of us. We hadn’t seen Jason and Sophie in several years so seeing them and catching up on family news was fun. Playing with their three kids was cool, too. Tyler at 14 was tall, lanky and had brown hair that kept falling in his eyes. Sarah, 13, was extroverted and had no trouble talking about any subject that came up. She told us about all of the clubs she had joined in school. Joanie, 11, was pretty quiet but defi-
nitely took everything in. I could tell that she listened to what everyone was talking about. Of the three of them, Joanie was the bookworm. At the time we visited she was reading “Looking for Alaska.” After talking with the kids for a few minutes we met their dog named Cinder. She was a beagle-poodle mix with medium-length hair that was pretty wiry. At about 20 lbs., Cinder was cute, quick and smart. Jason had taught her to roll over on command, to sit up and to high five him. After he did these tricks with Cinder I tried it. To my delight she followed all of my commands. Cinder loved to run around their big back yard chasing a favorite soccer ball of hers. We visited Maryland early in the spring when the Long Island weather was still cold - and when some snow had fallen even though officially it was spring. In Waldorf, Md., it looked and felt much more like spring. The trees had buds and some had bloomed, azalea bushes and other plants had bloomed, too. They also had a beautiful cherry tree with pink blossoms in their back yard. The grass was green and the sky was a beautiful blue. Temperatures averaged around 66 -
68 degrees every day that we were there on our visit down south and I have to say that the sunsets in Maryland were magnificent. Many times the colors of the sunset were sky-blue-pink. It was breathtaking. We sat outside with our family and talked. Once we flew kites and watched them rise high in the sky. Another evening we cooked dinner outside on the barbecue then took it inside to their dining room table. That dinner of marinated sirloin steak, corn on the cob, baked beans, apple sauce and a tossed green salad tasted delicious. I think that being in Maryland and relaxing around family gave me an appetite. When we got talking to Jason and Sophie, they told us about some of the interesting history of Waldorf that they had learned from the locals. It is now part of Charles County and about 67,000 people live in Waldorf. Even though Waldorf is a rapidly developing urbanized area, the community is surrounded by farms. Waldorf, Md., was settled before 1900 as a rural crossroads originally called “Beantown” after a local family. In 1872 the Baltimore and Potomac See page D6

Identity Theft and Social Security BY TOM MARGENAU
Q: My daughter recently had problems with a stolen purse and with someone possibly using her Social Security number. She went to the Social Security office and she was told to contact credit reporting agencies and possibly the police. And they gave her some website to look up. It seems to me they should have done more. Can’t they just cancel her old number and give her a new one? Was she informed correctly? A: Yes, she probably was given correct information. When a Social Security card is stolen, many people think that is a problem for the Social Security Administration to resolve. But when you think it through, it really isn’t. As a general rule, SSA gets involved in your life for three reasons. Their first job is to issue you a Social Security number. Their second job is to keep a lifetime record of all the earnings your employer reports under that SSN. Or if you are self-employed, to keep track of the income you report on the Schedule SE of your annual tax return. And finally, SSA’s third job is to pay you monthly retirement or disability benefits that are based on all those earnings that are posted to your Social Security account. Or if you die, they pay your widow(er) and/or children a survivor’s benefits based on those same earnings. I don’t want to sound too flip or dismissive about this, but if someone steals your Social Security card, it’s really not SSA’s problem. Or to put that another way, there isn’t all that much they can do about it. They can help you monitor your Social Security earnings record. If you see earnings posted to that record that don’t belong to you, they can correct that record. But I doubt that is your daughter’s major concern. She is likely much more worried about someone misusing her Social Security number and other personal information to create credit problems. The first step for her to resolve this is to visit IdentityTheft.gov to report the theft and to start a recovery plan. (I am sure this was the website the Social Security people referred her to.) IdentityTheft.gov is a one-stop resource managed by the Federal Trade Commission, the nation’s consumer protection agency. Or she can call them at 1-877-IDTHEFT. Your daughter also may want to contact the Internal Revenue Service. If she is eligible for a refund, an identity thief could file a tax return before she does and get her refund. Then, when she does file, the IRS will think she already received her refund. The identity thief also may use your daughter’s SSN to get a job. That person’s employer would report earned income to the IRS using her Social Security number. This will make it appear that she didn’t report all of her income on her tax
return. If you think your daughter may have tax issues because someone has stolen her identity, go to www.irs.gov/uac/ Identity-Protection or call 1-800-908-4490. Also, your daughter should file an online complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Center at www.ic3.gov. The IC3 gives victims of cybercrime a convenient and easy-to-use reporting mechanism that alerts authorities of suspected criminal or civil violations. IC3 sends every complaint to one or more law enforcement or regulatory agencies with jurisdiction. According to their website, the IC3 reflects a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the National White Collar Crime Center and the Bureau of Justice Assistance. Here’s another thought: Your daughter should also monitor her credit report periodically. She can get free credit reports online at AnnualCreditReport.com. You wondered why SSA didn’t just cancel her old number and give her a new one. That is something that can be done, but it really should be a worst-case scenario solution. In other words, if she has taken all the steps she can take to resolve her problems with no luck, a new SSN can be issued to her. But she should keep in mind that a new number probably won’t solve all her problems. This is because other governmental agencies (such as the IRS and state motor vehicle agencies) and private businesses (such as banks and credit reporting companies) will have records under her old number. Along with other personal information, credit reporting companies use the number to identify her credit record. So using a new number won’t guarantee a fresh start. For some victims of identity theft, a new number actually creates problems. If the old credit information isn’t associated with her new number, the absence of any credit history under her new number may make it more difficult for your daughter to get credit. Q: A friend of mine received a new Medicare card in the mail. It’s supposed to have something to do with identity theft. But I didn’t get a new card. What should I do? A: What you should do is just be patient. According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (the federal agency that runs the Medicare program), new Medicare cards will be mailed to everyone between now and April 2019. So it could be up to a year before you get your new card. Since the inception of the Medicare program in 1967, CMS had always used your Social Security “claim number” as your Medicare number. The claim number is the number of the Social Security account from which you are claiming benefits. Most of us get our own Social Security benefits, so our claim number is simply our own Social Security number. But for example, the claim number for a woman getting widow’s benefits is
her deceased husband’s Social Security number. Anyway, for years, seniors have complained that their Social Security claim number was displayed on their Medicare card. Because most seniors carry their Medicare card in their wallet, it opened the door to ID theft if the wallet was stolen.
The new Medicare cards will have a completely different number unique to each person on Medicare. If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has the answer. Contact him at thomas.margenau@comcast.net. COPYRIGHT 2018 CREATORS.COM

Memorable Meal at Shalom Japan, Where East Meets Eastern Europe in Williamsburg and New York City Essence is in Every Bite BY KAREN RUBIN, DAVID LEIBERMAN, ERIC LEIBERMAN, LAINI NEMETT & SARAH FALTER TRAVEL FEATURES SYNDICATE, GOINGPLACESFARANDNEAR.COM “Tradition!” Two cuisine cultures are ingeniously re-mixed, breaking open the “box” of strong tradition that underpins both: Jewish and Japanese. The end-result of this culinary reimagination is New York on a plate. Shalom Japan, a quaint restaurant and bar in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, is the ingenious creation of Aaron Israel and his wife, Sawako Okochi; Aaron hails from Great Neck, Long Island (a 2000 graduate of Great Neck North High School), and Sawako is from Hiroshima Japan. Combining Jewish and Japanese cooking traditions is not just a gimmick. Aaron and Sawako’s flavor combinations are astonishing, a sensory surprise. And the food presentations are as artful as his painting. Indeed, Aaron has created the ceramic dishes and saki cups and his paintings decorate the walls. The couple are respectful of culinary traditions – this is not meant to satirize or stereotype. This isn’t just a matter of combining two things – it’s really ingenious new creations – you can appreciate the trial-and-error that must have gone into creating these recipes, preparations and presentations. “With Jewish food and with Japanese food, ‘tradition’ is a box – it’s fun and challenge,” Aaron says. The cultural mash-up is initially disorienting and fun (blows your mind to imagine and makes you smile) – you are simultaneously thrust into something familiar and comforting, and uprooted into some strange new cultural world. It kind of makes you think about what made something familiar in the first place. But then there is the pure pleasure of the taste and texture and visual presentation. The dishes begin with delectable fresh, seasonal ingredients. This is especially pronounced in the Tuna Tataki with Black Tahini - a luscious tuna belly, prepared to perfection. You find yourself just suspending all thought – and for those who just want to take a discovery tour, can take advantage of the Chef’s tasting menu ($55 or $75 per person), which is served on ceramic dishes that Aaron created. We visit on a Thursday night (the night before Passover seder, in fact) with family who had come from various parts of the country for the holiday, and with the plates prepared with sharing in mind, the six of us are able to taste a fair
amount of the menu. Toro Toasts, Scallion Cream Cheese, Everything Spices –served on homemade challah, sliced to small squares and baked to toast – done with scallion and wasabi cream cheese, sprinkled with everything spices (like an everything bagel). Shalom Japan Caesar prepared with white anchovy, Za’atar pita crumbs and parmesan. Spring Jew Egg is their take on a Scotch egg which is a hard boiled, wrapped in pork and deep-fried – Instead, at Shalom Japan this is a soft boiled egg, wrapped in falafel and deep fried; the accoutrement changes with season – in spring, it is prepared with labna, a tangy middle eastern yogurt, peas carrots, and spring greens on top. Ricotta & Spinach Blintzes served with black truffle and honey. Okonomiyaki, Sauerkraut, Pastrami, Bonito – is based on a traditional street food popular in Hiroshima: a savory pancake, made with batter, cabbage, beansprouts and fried. “It translates to ‘have it your way’, ‘how you like it’ – with different ingredients of choosing. We chose a homage to Jewish deli, New York style– so we chose sauerkraut and pastrami, with bonito – a style of tuna, smoked and thinly shaped.” Sesame Temomi Mazemen, Pork Char Siu, Shishito Peppers, Shiso – this is similar to Ramen, but in a sesame sauce (not broth) with the traditional style Japanese noodle. (Shalom Japan is Jewish cooking, not kosher). Matzoh Ball Ramen with Foie Gras Dumpling is Aaron’s take on matzo ball soup, so it has many of the ingredients you would expect to find: grandma’s style broth, potato, Aaron’s own matzoh ball recipe instead of egg noodles, ramen noodles. Admittedly, the foie gras dumpling added in is a strange touch. The soup can be a meal in itself and you See page D6

When our trip to Maryland ended in a surprise!
C ontinued from page D3
Railroad added a station to Waldorf. Nearby Benedict was established in 1683 and was one of the first ports on the Patuxent River. The town of nearby La Plata, Md., was named by Colonel Samuel Chapman, after the La Plata River. Indian Head, Md., was established in 1920 and is named for the Algonquin Indian Tribe. In 1880, the General Assembly of Maryland by an act changed the name to “Waldorf” in honor of William Waldorf Astor (1848 - 1919), the great-grandson of John Jacob Astor (1763 - 1848), who was born in Walldorf, Palatinate, Germany. I found all of our talk about the history of the community to be very interesting but as is often the case we started talking about relatives and family happenings once again. We all knew that technically Aunt Karen wasn’t our aunt since she was my dad’s cousin but we all affectionately call her Aunt Karen anyway. We thanked Aunt Karen for her home cooking, her home baking and her hospitality over the five days that we visited and said that we hoped we would see her again soon. We promised that in the meantime, we would keep in touch by phone and by emails, by texts and occasionally by Skyping. When we left their place we stopped
at a chicken store in Waldorf and planned on ordering some food to take on our trip home. We didn’t want to overwhelm Aunt Karen with even more cooking than she had been doing. Michelle and I went into the store and we left Phil in the car to listen to the radio and pass the time. The two of us were standing on line waiting to order our food when suddenly the man in front of us (named Jim, we found out a few minutes later) turned to us and said, “This is your lucky day. I want to pay it forward and buy you a meal. Then in turn you’ve got to pay it forward to someone else.” Stunned, surprised, pleased, taken aback and pleased that we actually knew what he was talking about, we said OK. “Sure,” we said, “we would pay it forward.” After talking with Jim for a few minutes we found out that someone had paid it forward for him a few days prior. He had been waiting on line in a specialty coffee store waiting to order his breakfast when a man named Max picked up his tab. Max had explained to Jim that he was paying it forward because someone had done it for him. Delighted, we got our dinner to go and when we got back in the car we told Phil what had just happened. At first he was doubtful. He thought that we were pulling his leg. Eventually it sank in and he got the
fact that we weren’t kidding around. Once in a while some people still do those “pay it forward” things. He believed us and we all just kept smiling and shaking our heads. Pleased all around, we hit the road, heading toward home. Two days later, when Michelle and I were in a store that is known for shakes and hamburgers, we turned to the person behind us and said, “This may surprise you but we are paying it forward.” The middle-aged mother shrieked so we knew that she was surprised and she kept thanking us over and over. We told her to pay it forward when she could and she nodded and smiled and said that she would. Michelle and I knew that the concept of paying it forward had been around for years. We also had seen the 2000 movie, “Pay It Forward” starring Haley Joel Osment, Kevin Spacey and Helen Hunt. In fact, we had seen it more than once. In that film, a young boy named Trevor attempts to make the world a better place after his teacher gives him that chance. Trevor comes up with the notion of “Pay It Forward” which is to do a needed favor for three different people without being asked, and then ask them to do the same for three others. I won’t give away any more of the story line but suffice it to say that the movie was pretty good.
In terms of paying it forward, we never really thought that it would happen to us especially when we were out of town on a family visit. It was just so unexpected. Looking back on our visit with Aunt Karen and Uncle Bill’s family, the leisurely time we spent in Waldorf, Md., and then unexpectedly coming across Jim, the man who wanted to pay it forward, we had a lot to be thankful for. Our trip to southern Maryland was a good one. We all had a great time. Aunt Karen’s family was happy to see us and they had plenty of room in their house for their visitors. We were pleased to see them and later on, when we told them about our “pay it forward” encounter right there in Waldorf, they got a big kick out of it. They told us to tell them the story all over again because they wanted to hear every detail again - and because they had gotten such a kick out of it. One thing we learned along the way, on our trip to and from Waldorf, is you never know what’s going to happen in a given day. Surprises abound. Sometimes people do unexpected things. And sometimes we just have to be open to receiving these unexpected experiences. One thing I’ve learned is that sometimes happiness is just an “OK” away!

Memorable Meal at Shalom Japan, Where East Meets Eastern Europe in Williamsburg C ontinued from page D3 can add in extra Matzoh ball, dumpling or add egg. The wild, weird ride continues with imaginative cocktails concocted by beverage director Ian Morrison (the beverage menu pages outnumber the food selections), such as: Meshugatini #2: Caraway-infused Vodka, Gin, Cocchi Americano, Pickle Brine, Fresh Dill Winter Negroni: Hayman’s Gin, Contratto Bitter, Cynar, Walnut Liqueur, Burnt Rosemary Y Tu Mamá También: Agave De Cortes Mezcal, Guajllo Infused Suerte Tequila, Ancho Reyes Chile Liqueur, SweetShine Ginger Liqueur, Lime, Yuzu, Ginger Beer Konichiwa Brooklyn: Templeton Rye, Dry Plum Wine, Amaro, Maraschino, Brandied Cherry Sweet and Sawa: Denen Mugi Shochu, Four Roses Bourbon, Yuzu, Honey, Egg White There is a mind-boggling list of sake choices – like Fuku Chitose (“happy owl” described as “rustic, savory, pumpkin”);
Tae No Hana (“sublime beauty” which is characterized as “dry, full, frosted flake, hazelnut, malt-ball”). Even the beer selection is ridiculously eclectic, hailing from Japan, Germany, San Francisco, North Carolina, South Carolina, Washington and Michigan. There are surprising similarities and connections in the food traditions (like Gershwin’s melding of classical and jazz): “Both don’t use too much dairy; both do put a value on fish,” Aaron reflects. We asked Aaron what the restaurant would be serving for Passover – Aaron makes his own matzoh – and were treated to a variation on gefilte fish that he would be serving: fried fish ball (much tastier than Mother’s). Desserts are amazing, also – I try the Uzu sorbet that has a grapefruit flavor; there is also a scrumptious bread pudding. Talk about a small world! Laini had known Aaron since 2005 when he was an undergraduate studying painting at the prestigious art academy, Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in Baltimore, and was mentored by
Laini’s father who headed the Painting Department. She has been coming to Shalom Japan since it first opened five
years ago; when she brought David the first time, he thought he recognized Aaron and soon realized they had gone to

Natural Ways to Get a Good Night’s Rest With nearly one-third of Americans suffering from sleep disturbances, according to research from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, now is the time to rethink your bedtime routine and consider more natural ways to get a good night’s rest. However, implementing those changes doesn’t have to mean overhauling the way you live. Consider these simple tips that can help you sleep better and longer: Set a comfortable temperature. Making changes in different aspects of your life to achieve better sleep is a fine plan, but it may not make much difference if you aren’t comfortable in your own bed. Be sure to maximize comfort for a full night of sleep by finding a temperature that works for you, but in general, the National Sleep Foundation recommends a bedroom temperature between 60-67 degrees F. Tweak your diet. Making simple changes to what you eat and drink can be a positive health-conscious decision, including helping you get better sleep. For example, Montmorency tart cherries, which are available year-round, are one of the few natural food sources of melatonin, a sleep-regulating hormone. New research from the American Journal of Therapeutics shows that insomniacs who drank U.S.-grown Montmorency tart cherry juice for two weeks extended sleep time by 84 minutes.
Consuming two 8-ounce glasses of Montmorency tart cherry juice as part of your daily diet, once in the morning and once at night, can help enhance your sleep time and efficiency. It can also be added to your favorite morning smoothie or a soothing nighttime beverage, such as this Tart Cherry Moon Milk. For additional information and recipes, visit ChooseCherries.com. Try bedtime yoga. Rather than scrolling on your smartphone or staring at the TV, consider a different routine before heading to bed. Implementing a brief yoga session is one way to clear your mind
each night prior to getting quality shut-eye. While missing out on quality sleep can negatively impact your health, simple changes to your lifestyle and diet can play a role in improving the quality and duration of sleep.
Tart Cherry Moon Milk

Remove from heat and whisk in honey and ashwaganda. Top with rose petals and drink warm. Note: For a more frothy beverage, blend mixture in blender before topping with rose petals.

Striking a balance between work and home life, friends and family, and hobbies and errands can contribute to a healthy lifestyle. As you look to rebalance certain aspects of your life during an opportunity like National Nutrition Month, don’t forget to take your diet into consideration as well. Including grain-based foods as part of a balanced diet - along with proper exercise - can be an essential part of living a healthier lifestyle and can provide numerous health benefits. In fact, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend a 50-50 balance between whole and enriched grains per day for optimal health. Furthermore, research from the Grain Foods Foundation suggests whole and enriched grains supply a variety of key vitamins and minerals, like thiamin, niacin, riboflavin, zinc, selenium and magnesium, and important shortfall nutrients like dietary fiber, iron and folate. Incorporating grains into meals throughout the day, including these under-500 calorie recipes for Grilled Cinnamon French Toast with Granola Crunch and Roast Beef and Arugula Sandwiches featuring whole and enriched grains, can aid in maintaining a healthy weight. Additional benefits of consuming grains include lowering cholesterol and supporting digestion, while also providing anti-inflammatory nutrients and fiber, which helps fight belly fat. Find more nutritionist-developed, balanced and budget-friendly recipes for every meal at grainfoodsfoundation.org.

With age and child birth, some women struggle with their body’s shape and contours. For many, their breasts have lost their shape and volume, have loose and stretched skin, a protruding tummy or “pooch”, and fat pockets that are resistant to diet and exercise. For some women, getting their prefered body shape may be near impossible without a little surgical help. For these patients Dr. Cuber performs a combination of procedures often referred to as a Mommy Makeover that targets trouble areas such as the breasts, tummy, hips, and flanks. Dr. Cuber will often combine a breast augmentation (sometimes along with a breast lift) for fuller, perkier looking breasts, a mini-tummy tuck to remove excess skin and flatten and tighten the abdomen utilizing a short, hidden incision, and liposuction to contour the waistline area, creating hourglass curves. His mini-tummy tuck procedure utilizes a much smaller incision than a traditional tummy tuck so that you can still wear your bikini. The combination of these procedures truly helps to restore your figure - and your confidence.

Great Neck North High School together. Aaron picks up the story, saying, “by senior year [at MICA], I knew I didn’t want to paint.” Cooking was his art. He got a job in a kitchen and cooked Italian for seven years. He met his wife, Sawako, cooking. He has worked under some of the most acclaimed chefs in New York City in numerous fine dining restaurants such as August, under chef Tony Liu, and A Voce, under chef Andrew Carmellini. He was the opening sous chef at Torrisi Italian Specialties for Rich Torrisi and Mario Carbone, helping them to develop and open the restaurant. As chef of Mile End, he launched their acclaimed dinner program. Then, he became a food consultant in London. His work has been recognized by the James Beard Foundation and by publications including the New York Times, Time Out New York, the Jewish Daily Forward, and the New York Observer. Sawako Okochi ‘s culinary background is rooted in her Japanese upbringing in Hiroshima. She moved from Japan to Texas in 1995. In 2000 she relocated to New York City for the

culinary program at the New York Restaurant School. After finishing an internship at chef David Waltuck’s Chanterelle, she worked for five years with chef Anita Lo at Annisa, rising to sous chef. She spent five years as the chef at the Good Fork and went on to be the executive chef at Lani Kai. She was named by Mother Nature Network to their list of 40 under 40 rising star chefs. The flavor combinations which I admire so much, “don’t fight, like my relationship with my wife,” Aaron jokes. The couple have a three-year old son, Kyshu (who has already been to Japan three times) and live above the restaurant. Shalom Japan brings to mind Helen Mirrin’s movie, “The Hundred Foot Journey,” about a cultural collaboration between Indian and French culinary traditions. The atmosphere is most pleasant and relaxing – music from the 1930s and 1940s playing in the background – a décor that combines the best of Brooklyn with Japan. On the table, natural elements that evoke Japanese Zen sensibility, like the smooth stones (Jewish culture isn’t at all imbued with natural elements). The room is cozy yet accommodating a surprising number of people, and on this night is packed – interestingly, a wonderful demographic cross-section of diners. This could be because of “Free Ramen!” Thursdays, from 10 pm to midnight, where you get free ramen with purchase of any alcoholic beverage and half off Mars Iwai whisky, plus a late-night menu. But I must say, we arrived well before 10 pm, and the place pretty much filled up. Shalom Japan serves brunch. Notable selections: Okonomi-Latke: pastrami, house sauerkraut, fried egg See page D12

Garden City HS Girls Lacrosse: Trifecta Week!
Senior captain Deanna Weisenberger looking good in her return to action against Long Beach. The girls lacrosse team capped off their week with three big wins, first over nationally-ranked St. Anthony’s, then over NJ powerhouse Summit at the Gains for Brains Tournament, and finally, this past Tuesday over conference challenger Long Beach. Each win brings the Trojans one step closer to their goal of winning the Nassau County power conference and moving on to the county playoffs. In the much anticipated public versus private match-up, the Trojans took down St. Anthony’s, the reigning NYSCHSGAA champion and ranked #10 in the country in the Nike National
Girls Top 25 poll, under the lights out in Huntington last Thursday by a convincing score of 10-7. Senior captain Jenn Medjid led the team offensively with three goals and one assist followed by junior midfielders Caitlin Cook, Sarah Mackey, and Liana McDonnell, who each tallied twice along with senior Julia Kavan, who had one. But the real story of the game was the awesome play of junior goalie Emily Gaven, who had seventeen (yes, seventeen!) saves in the win! St. Anthony’s talented offense was relentless in their attack on GC’s defense, but could not manage to find the answer to GC’s
Emily Gaven making one of her 17 spectacular saves against St. Anthony’s
stalwart defense of Conway, Metzler, Cerrato, Ruckh, Mackey, McDonnell, and Cook, much less the back of the net with Emily Gaven stopping their shots whether they were high, low, or at point blank range! Armed with the momentum from the St. Anthony’s victory, the Trojans returned to Cold Spring Harbor to play a stacked team from Summit who themselves were teetering on the top 25 list and enjoying a #3 New Jersey ranking, at the annual Gains for Brains Tournament and event that benefits the Head Strong foundation and brings 18 of the best teams from around the tristate area together to compete against on another. Garden City looked strong coming out of the gate going on a five goal run to take a commanding five goal lead before Summit could even get on the board. Summit then went on a run of their own with 3 goals before the half. The Trojans would bounce back again in the second with another unanswered five goal run. Summit made a surge with two late goals, but could not manage to finish their shots as Garden City’s defense prevented them from getting real clear opportunities. Jenn Medjid again impressed the crowd with another six point game, five goals and one assist, even under Summit’s intense coverage. Caitlin Cook added two goals and Liana McDonnell, Sarah Mackey, and Alexandra Hopkins each scored a goal in the Trojan effort. Throughout the game, the offense worked the ball around the arc patiently waiting for their opportunity in a total team effort as evidenced by the seven assists in the game. Ella Heaney, the team leader in assists, led the way with 2; Mary Kate Dolan, Jenn Medjid, Julia Kavan, Sarah Mackey, and Liana
McDonnell each had one for a very balanced attack on Summit’s goal. Despite getting themselves into a whole, Summit never gave up, even looked pretty good in the circle winning many of the draws which enabled them to keep the pressure on GC in their defensive zone. Always up to the challenge, senior captain Catherine Conway, Amanda Cerrato, Kara Metzler, Emma Ruckh, and Erin Healy along with the tireless midfield line of Cook, McDonnell, and Mackey, GC’s “D” broke up Summit’s transition game, caused turnovers, picked up ground balls and did their best to prevent Summit from finishing many of their shots. When Summit did get a shot off goalie Emily Gaven was right there to make the stop. Fresh off her St. Anthony’s performance, Emily again proved to be a wall between the pipes and notched another double digit outing with 13 saves to preserve the win! The Trojans rounded out their trifecta with a convincing win over conference rival Long Beach by a score of 8 to 3 on Tuesday night. Every game has a story line and the story of this game was GC’s complete dominance in the circle with GC winning 11 out of 13 draws with juniors Caitlin Cook and Liana McDonnell grabbing six and five draw controls respectively. With the draw control came possession and GC dominated the time of possession patiently working the ball around the arc with lightning fast passes until the right opportunity to strike on net. The offense was balanced scoring four goals in the first and four goals in the second half to Beach’s total of three all of which came in the second half. Jenn Medjid had two goals and four assists for her second consecutive 6 point game to lead the Trojans. Caitlin Cook and freshman

Cerrato, Kara Metzler, Emma Ruckh, and Erin Healy put the beat down on Beach’s attack and prevented them from taking many shots, but of those that did get off Emily Gaven again stood tall in the cage, stopping all but three. GC takes on nationally ranked Manhasset tomorrow at 2PM on Warren King Field at the annual Woodstick classic. Please come out to support the team in what promises to be a great game! GO GC!

Alex Hopkins netted two goals apiece; Ella Heaney had a goal and an assist and Julia Kavan added another goal to round out the Trojans’ offensive effort against the Beach.

Garden City Boys High School Lacrosse keeps rolling…
Ryan Bice holding off Mepham The Trojans had another productive week starting with an away win at Mepham and home victory versus Duxbury, MA. At Mepham, Eric Muller delivered another fine performance in a 16-1 victory. The defense was impenetrable and the offense was firing on all cylinders. First period goals by Liam Muldoon, Trevor Yeboah-Kodie, Kyle Steinbach, and Will Puccio staked the Trojans to a 4-1 lead after one. The onslaught continued in the second with scores from Kyle Steinbach (2) Cole Dutton, and Puccio. Third quarter goals were amassed by Liam Curtin plus Liam and Jack Muldoon. The balance of the game was to reward players that work extremely hard in practice and support their teammates from the sidelines. Many of these boys would start for most programs. It also provides an

opportunity to glimpse the future of the program. All these players seized the opportunity to demonstrate their skills. Christian Sullivan provided relief at the faceoff circle and a fourth quarter goal. Ford Carney continues the tradition of strong defensive midfielders. The back line appears to be in good hands with up and coming Billy Kephart, Ryan Bice, Connor Gunn, and Steven Moscatiello. The midfield was represented by the athletic and talented Holden Overbeck and Liam Griffith. A few attackmen made their presence known in Brady Sullivan, Sal Ingrassia, and Nick Rosato with the final goal of the game. The highlight of the day was the nimble and forceful play of Kieran “Special K” Paskewitz blistering a pair of shots to the back of the net. Aidan Pfaff took over in goal with a couple of nifty saves
Joe McDonough, Billy Kephart, and Steven Moscatiello chasing ground ball to shut out Mepham in the second half. On Saturday, the Duxbury Dragons came to GC for an afternoon matinée. When asked about what to expect from Duxbury, legendary Trojan Coach Tom Flatley uttered one word... “chippy”. That was prophetic as this was one of the more physical opponents the Trojans faced this season. The Trojans were prepared and more than met their opponents’ physicality. With Justin Coppola again dominating the faceoff circle, Garden City jumped on Duxbury with two first period goals by Liam Muldoon. The defense limited scoring opportunities while creating several turnovers on the ride. Teddy Dolan was sharp between the pipes. The Trojans took advantage of a couple of man-up situations and got goals from Justin Coppola and Trevor Yeboah-Kodie to take a 7-1 lead into halftime.
A three-goal day for Liam Muldoon
The second half was a demonstration of mental toughness. While Duxbury vented their frustration by committing several stick related and unsportsmanlike penalties, the Trojans kept their cool and made them pay on the scoreboard. In the fourth quarter after securing the faceoff, Justin Coppola sprinted like he stole something and scored a well-deserved unassisted goal. The physical play of Duxbury continued to leave them man down, and in some cases two men down. The Trojans capitalized on their lack of discipline with goals by Chris Jordan, Will Puccio, Trevor Yeboah-Kodie, and Kyle Steinbach to close out the 12-4 win. The granddaddy of them all, the Woodstick Classic versus Manhasset takes place at home on Saturday, April 28th at 4:30PM. GO TROJANS!!!

The Ann Amengual Playground is open at GCNS
The Ann Amengual Playground is opened for business!
What do you do to honor a person who has devoted half her life to the early childhood education of the students at one school? This was a question that plagued the board, faculty and staff at Garden City Nursery School after their esteemed director, Ann Amengual, retired after 27 years. As director, teacher, and parent before that, Ann’s devotion to GCNS was unwavering. She tirelessly and lovingly worked to ensure that the original vision for the school as a parent-involved, child-centered, hands-on learning experience stayed intact. So when the idea was put forward to dedicate the new playground on the eastside to her, the GCNS community struck gold in more ways than one. When fundraising began for the playground on the site GoFundMe, the responses were swift and loving. So many people shared their appreciation of Ann. One quote: “Ann’s gracious wisdom, guidance, leadership, and friendship have positively impacted a multitude of GCNS families. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.” Another donor said: “Ann and the GCNS were a wonderful part of our lives. Beautiful memories to last a lifetime.” And in
less than 30 days, $22,000 of the almost $29,000 goal was raised. The dedication of this outdoor structure is a perfect tribute because of Ann’s love for children and their experience in the natural environment. As Parent Board president, Marissa Bogatch says, “With our beloved Ann in mind, our new playground was designed to blend into our natural surroundings and provide an exciting, safe, and inviting play space for our children. It’s a tangible symbol of all she nurtured during her years with us at GCNS.” And on April 9th, the students burst through the doors to see it. “When we arrived at school after spring break, my daughter couldn’t wait to see the new playground,” says parent Courtney Inman. “She was so excited to show her dad the pictures and tell him how much fun its been!” The Garden City Nursery School community would like to thank all who have donated and have sent their well wishes. If you would like to donate, please visit www.gofundme. com/gcnstheannamengualplayground or contact the school directly at (516) 481-7765.

Liam and Jack Muldoon played like brothers Wednesday evening, and both will be heading to the University of Utah this fall to represent Garden City High School’s great lacrosse program. The two brothers combined for four goals and three assists in Wednesday’s game against Mempham. The lefty attack men showed the reason why they were both recruited to play at the highest level in college. Liam is a senior and will head to Utah this fall. Jack is a junior and will join him fall 2019. Coach Finnell has groomed the two boys since their freshman years. Their brother Conor plays Division 1 for Boston University, and their sister Katie plays Divsion 1 for Harvard. The Muldoon family now has covered the Division 1 lacrosse world from coast to coast. Good luck to the Boys in Utah. GO TROJANS!

Dates are scheduled to be July 9th, 11th, 16th, 18th, 23rd, and 25th. The format of the program is similar to that of a high school, college, or travel team practice. The focus is on skills, drills, speed & agility, and half court game time. Registration is OPEN online at www. gardencitybasketball.org Paper applications may be submit-
ted. Garden City Basketball is limiting the number of participants so that we can maintain a good coaching to player ratio and provide a higher quality program. The coaches are former high school varsity players, college players, and/or AAU travel coaches. If you have a child in kindergarten and feel that they would enjoy this type of format, then please register. Players will be placed in age appropriate non-rotating half court sessions. Registration will be open until May 18th, but again will close once the roster is filled. Information about Garden City Basketball and this program are on our website or you may email jskramko@ live.com

On Saturday, April 21st, Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty was proud to be an official sponsor of the 9th Annual Garden City Teacher’s Association Race for a Cure. This race, which benefited the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Foundation, and the Michele White Scholarship Fund started and finished at Garden City High School. After weeks of cold and dreary weather, the sun broke through, and racers enjoyed delightful sunlight and invigorating temperatures. Brokers and agents from the Daniel Gale Garden City office greeted returning runners and walkers with potassium packed bananas and colorful Frisbees and sunglasses. Special thanks to Natural Market in Garden City for providing the bananas and making sure they were perfectly ripe. Congratulations to all for a job well done. See you next year!

Who We Are
For over 80 years, The Men’s Association or simply the TMA has supported the athletic and social activities of students in the Garden City schools and promoted good sportsmanship as well as ideal citizenship. The TMA is composed of more than 100 active Directors, 50 Life Directors and 500 Family members. With the generous support of our fellow residents, the Men’s Association has been involved in a great number of projects covering a wide range of interests. While we are still primarily committed to the athletic programs at the Middle School and High School, in recent years the TMA has expanded their support and sponsorship to other programs benefiting a wider range of students in the Garden City Schools. Some of these programs are SEPTA, the Jamie and Paige Malone Foundation, Best Buddies, the GC High School Marching Band, BAA/GAA Awards Night, Middle School Bagel Bash, Reeves Scholarship, Bethany LeSueur Jersey Retirement Ceremony,
GCHS Stem Program, CPR training for all coaches, HUDL, Robotics, 9th grade BBQ, Kickline, GCTA Hurricane Relief Fundraiser, and the Father-Daughter and Mother-Son dances. All of this would not be possible without your continued assistance on aiding all we do. Thanks to all who contribute!
How You Can Join
The TMA is always looking for potential new members. If you’re a father who has a child or children in the GC School District and are willing to be involved please contact one of the Officers or Directors for an application. Thanks for all your support !!! Special thanks to all those who have joined as family members! Go Trojans!
