School budget goes to voters on May 17th

A THRILLING GAME

BY KASSARA MCELROY

A final budget hearing took focus during Garden City Board of Ed meeting on Tuesday, May 10th, followed by an update on the recently reviewed Foreign Language in the Elementary School (FLES) program. The night began with a deep dive into the proposed budget for next year from Dr. Kusum Sinha, Superintendent of Schools. The budget that will be on the ballot stands at $124,579,449, or a budget to budget increase of 1.80% or $2,197,962. The maximum allowable tax levy is 2.29%, and the proposal falls below that at a projected 1.25%. That means the district is not asking for as much taxpayer money as it is able to. The budget requires a majority vote for passage at Tuesday’s election, because it complies with the tax levy cap. A majority of the proposed budget (75.65%) is dedicated to program expenditures, followed by capital (12.84%) and administrative (11.51%) costs. It focuses on training and professional development, preparing students for the demands of college and citizenship, STEAM and technology upgrade investments and capital improvements focused on instruction spaces, special education services and diverse learners.

BY RIKKI MASSAND At its meeting on Thursday May 5, the Village Board of Trustees approved a $45,000 professional services proposal from Old Structures Engineering of New York City, “to provide engineering investigation and analysis, to determine and then design the feasible extent of alteration to the existing building

and the potential additions.” As the board reviewed its agenda, Administrator Ralph Suozzi noted that discussions from the April board meetings resulted in a round of submissions to the village, including the proposal from a firm that specializes in repurposing existing concrete and steel buildings. “Six companies were sent bids for the Firehouse and

four responded. The proposal by Old Structures was for $45,000 with a time for completion of 90 days; H2M proposed $76,300 with a 31-week time of completion; Cameron Engineering was $197,500 for a 46-week time to completion, and another was $96,500 with a 60-day time of completion. Old Structures represents a reliable company, a good

Discord hit the dais of the Garden City Village Board of Trustees on Thursday night May 6 as methods of communication about St. Paul’s were debated. Costs for a proposed “social media campaign” which would present updates on the work of the Mayor’s Committee on St. Paul’s was questioned by several board members. In addition, costs for an advertising campaign on St. Paul’s in the Garden City News were also discussed. Several board members asked for clarity about whether several recent advertisements run by the committee in the paper were advertising or free content. The committee plans to use several methods to present information

A WORD FROM THE PUBLISHER

Advertising transparency This week’s issue is possibly the largest we’ve ever produced, weighing in at 108 pages (including our features section, Discovery). We are very fortunate to have the support of many generous advertisers, as well as readers who contribute a great deal of material to the paper each week. One discussion we wanted to comment on is one which took place at the Village Board meeting this week. The Board was asked to approve $18,500 for a social media / advertising campaign for the committee which is examining all facets of the St. Paul’s conundrum. We want to be fully transparent with our financial interest in this issue, since these are public funds.

The Committee so far has placed two pairs of double-page ads in the paper, and our understanding is that there are six more double page ads to come. We have already received a purchase order in the amount of $5600 for all of the ads. For these ads we have charged the village our “charitable” rate, which is substantially below the rate which commercial advertisers are asked to pay. Unfortunately we are not able to run the ads for free - printing is expensive, and they take up a lot of space. (We are happy to run other Village materials such as the mayor’s column, library columns and recreation columns at no charge each week.)

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Email: Editor@GCNews.com

A Politicized Agenda

To the Editor: Dear Garden City CommunityThese past two years have been trying to say the least and our community is approaching a watershed moment. While village affairs are not exactly in my wheelhouse, there is no doubt that a monumental shift in village governance is underway. I will leave it to others to make their own meaning of that shift. We are on the precipice of a potential shift in school district affairs as well. In the midst of a pandemic, a small group of people has managed to rally a not insignificant amount of people around an agenda: no distance learning; no masks; no mandates; full local control; more curriculum transparency. It’s easy to see how people can, on the surface, get on board with this agenda. But make no mistake, this small group is using a veiled agenda to ram a highly politicized agenda down the village’s collective throat. Some members of this small group also belong to Long Island BOE Patriot Takeover, a hidden Facebook group that seeks to “rise up and battle evil” by taking over school boards. This small group has now put forth three candidates to do just that. This, my neighbors, is what is happening in Garden City. Electing even two of these candidates would: (1) put the school district at risk of losing state funding for failing to comply with state regulations; (2) jeopardize the educational program, leadership, and fiscal standing of the district, and; (3) harm the reputation of the district in the eyes of colleges and universities. In other terms, voting for this slate is likely to harm the value of our community as prospective buyers will be less keen to invest in a community with a politically-driven school board that, by their own admissions, does not seek to represent all students and taxpayers. A school board that objectively does not understand governance and municipal fiscal responsibility. A school board driven by a small group who, by their own admissions, seek to shut down any

effort to more accurately portray history and create truly inclusive environments. A school board driven by a small group that has not only tolerated but in fact perpetrated heinous acts of harassment and bullying towards community members, teachers and administrators. This is politics at its worst, in a place where it simply does not belong. In contrast, there are two candidates who have demonstrated an ability to manage the interests of a diverse community: Bill Holub and Colleen Foley. Colleen and Bill have a long and demonstrated commitment to making Garden City a top-notch community from both a school and village governance perspective. Colleen, who previously served as School Board Member and School Board President, has decided to return to the School Board after successful terms as a Village Board Trustee. Colleen will be an excellent board member because she understands governance. She has lived in the community for her entire life and has committed herself to public service. Her credentials and background are significant and she will add value to the current Board. Bill has provided this community with a measured and balanced approach to leadership prior to and throughout the pandemic. His remarkable financial vision and work with the business office and audit committee has helped the district achieve the strongest financial position in decades. We are among a very small handful of districts across the state with an Aaa bond rating. - Our education, athletic and extracurricular program has expended under his tenure. - He has built upon Angela Heineman’s infrastructure initiatives to lead and collaborate with a visionary superintendent in crafting an ambitions plan that will revitalize the district’s learning spaces and overall physical plant. - He listens to and seeks to find balance amongst the community’s spectrum of values and beliefs about our schools.

BY RIKKI MASSAND The Village Board of Trustees will hold a public hearing on Thursday evening May 19 to consider the Numbered Streets Traffic Calming Study, prepared by consulting firm Creighton Manning. The board unanimously approved setting the public hearing date after some considerations were aired. Trustee Charles Kelly, the new chair of the Traffic Commission, discussed the proposal at the board’s meeting on May 5: “Consultants Creighton Manning, which also did the Cathedral Avenue Road Diet Traffic Calming Study, also has completed their Numbered Streets Traffic Calming Study. In connection with that we want to present it to the residents. Creighton Manning will be present at the May 19 public hearing to present the report, which anyone can currently access on the village’s website. This presents us with the next step in carrying out some of the proposals outlined, if we (the Board) decide to. Some proposals included impact streets which everyone in Garden City likely uses – items for 7th Street in particular

are included, with goals of making it safer for pedestrians, and how to reduce vehicles’ speeds on that street” he said. Over Zoom, Brixton Road resident Robert Vassalotti addressed the trustees during their May 5 meeting, after he reviewed the Numbered Streets Traffic Study. He told the board it’s difficult to observe this study leaving out traffic considerations and calming solutions for the portion of Stewart Avenue directly in front of Village Hall (351 Stewart. That is where traffic comes from Hilton Avenue on its west end and a major Franklin Avenue, four-way intersection with the additional traffic leaving shopping center parking lots (in back of CVS, on the north side of Stewart) including village Lot 7N across from Village Hall, as well as the Village Hall lot, the Fire Department side and police headquarters. “I am curious to see, for all the streets that are being examined they are leaving out that stretch of Stewart Avenue. Is it because it’s a Nassau County-owned road? From Franklin to See page 80

BY RIKKI MASSAND During the May 5 Board of Trustees’ meeting, Village of Garden City Treasurer Irene Woo spoke about a number of the fiscal indicators the village received with notification from the New York State Comptroller’s Office. The state office informed Garden City of its standing in the comprehensive annual review of New York State’s municipalities and school districts. “They do an annual review involving the fiscal monitoring system, which includes evaluation of nine different financial indicators and nine different ‘environmental components’ to determine if a municipality or school district is under fiscal stress. They score each one, and the Village of Garden City once again has ‘No Designation’ meaning we are healthy, we are not in any fiscal stress. The metrics for how the Village of Garden City scores compared with other Long Island municipalities and towns in downstate and upstate New York are all indicating we measure very favorably against those municipalities. This presents good news all around,” she said.

Mayor Cosmo Veneziale thanked Woo for the clarity of her update and the positive outlook. In the course of the May 6 meeting, the board approved the annual assessment of unpaid water utility bills and unpaid commercial sanitation charges. If the fees remain unpaid they roll onto the tax bills, and the board’s resolutions approved last week allow for that procedure. The two resolutions, similar in language, are pursuant to Section 11-1118 of the Village Law. As approved, they direct Village Clerk Karen Altman to include all unpaid water rents and all unpaid commercial sanitation charges (arrears) on the annual Village Tax Levy. “For unpaid water rents the total assessed for this fiscal year is $244,176. For the commercial sanitation charges, they add up to $2,145,” Woo explained last Thursday. During the May 6 meeting the Board approved a contract and expense of $25,900 for the repair of the Garden City Pool’s Shade structure’s roof. The vendor is New Hyde Park-based Preferred Exterior Roofing and Siding, and the See page 80

In the lead-up to the May 17 budget vote and board election, Garden City News is sitting down with the candidates open to sharing more about their mission with the community if and once elected. All five candidates have been asked to take part in this series.

The interview with candidate Arthur Gnecco was published in the May 6th issue of the Garden City News. Candidate Joe Sileo was unable to particpate. He is running unopposed. You can vote for the candidates on May 17th at the Garden City High School from 6 am - 9pm. You must be a U.S.

citizen, 18 years old or older, and a resident of this school district for at least 30 days before the vote. In addition, a resident must be registered either with the school district or with the Nassau County Board of Elections. If you have not voted in a district or general election in the last four years, or are a new

resident and have not registered to vote either with the school district or the Board of Elections, you’ll need to register in advance to be able to participate. For more information and to review voter registration forms, please visit the voter and absentee ballot information page of the school district’s website.

Colleen Foley Colleen Foley, running against William (Billy) O’Donohue for current Vice President Stefanie Granville’s seat, spoke with us about her childhood growing up in the Garden City community and graduating from its schools, her professional qualifications, her experience as the parent of a child in need of special education services and her vision for the future of the Board. Q: Tell us about yourself. What’s your background? Are there aspects of your education or experience that will on be especially helpful in pre-

paring you to serve as a member of the school board? My name is Colleen Foley. I had the privilege of growing up here in town with my parents and three siblings. My parents moved here for the school system and all the benefits a village like Garden City has to offer. The philosophy of community commitment, volunteerism, being kind to your neighbor, working hard in school was modeled everyday by my parents. I had the privilege of growing up here and I am proud to say that I am an alumnus of the

Garden City High School. When my husband (also a graduate of Garden City High School) and I were looking for a community to raise our family, we both knew we wanted to move back to Garden City. We wanted the experiences we had growing up for our 4 children. We knew firsthand that Garden City was a special place, and this is where we have made our home for the last 32 years. My husband, Tom, has dedicated many years to the Volunteer Fire Department and has held every office including Chief of the Department. My volunteerism

has included several organizations rooted in the community: Parent Teacher Association (PTA), Special Education Parent Teacher Association (SEPTA), TWIGs, Welcome Wagon, St Anne’s Church and other civic groups. I have dedicated over 20 years of my personal life and professional career to schools. I first learned about educational systems and boards of education as the parent of a child needing special education services. Then through years of involvement in SEPTA and PTA, See page 66

Billy O’Donohue Billy O’Donohue, running against Colleen Foley for current Vice President Stefanie Granville’s seat, spoke with us about his NYPD career and the leadership/investigative skills that has equipped him with, his more than a decade-long run of coaching various sports in our community and his experience navigating the Garden City school system with three kids of his own currently enrolled. Q: Tell us about yourself. What’s your background?

First, thank you for giving me the opportunity to reach out to the Garden City Community. My wife Jennifer and I have been living in Garden City for 22 years. We have been blessed with four boys, one a graduate of the Garden City public school system, and three currently in the Garden City public school system. I am a retired Lieutenant from the New York City Police Department where I served for 21 years, 18 of those as a supervisor. I am a trained investigator who has supervised and conducted hundreds of criminal, financial and corruption investigations. As a Lieutenant

in the NYPD I supervised, developed, implemented and reviewed the budget process, including a review for conflicts of interest and excess, for the Counter Terrorism Bureau and the Detective Bureau. I also worked to solicit, document and secure State and Federal grant monies for assets, training and personnel for the NYPD’s Counter Terrorism Bureau and Detective Bureau. I am a trained first responder and crisis manager who was responsible for the Interagency response and coordination between the NYPD and all other New York City Agency assets and personnel

in Manhattan. For the past 14 years I have coached pretty much everything in Garden City from 14 years of Thunder Football, 14 years of GCAA Basketball as both coach and Grade Coordinator, GCAA Baseball and GC youth lacrosse. If we had a bowling team, I’d volunteer to coach it. Nothing beats watching the kid you coached as a 7 year-old playing on the fields at the High School or at Hofstra University. Q: Are there aspects of your education or experience that will be See page 66

William Holub Current Board President William (Bill) Holub, running for reelection against Arthur Gnecco (who we featured in last week’s edition of the paper), spoke with us about his personal and professional life, what he envisions as post-pandemic District priorities and what his concerns are for the future of the Board. We also reflected on his time serving on the Board over the last seven years, and discussed his determination to continue to do so. Q: Tell us about yourself. What’s your background?

My wife and I moved to Garden City in 1997 to raise our family. Like many people that have moved to Garden City, the primary reason for selecting this town was its school system. My wife and I have two daughters, who both attended K-12 in the school system. We have volunteered in the community since we moved here. I was involved with the Western Property Owners Association and the Garden City Athletic Association (GCAA) before getting involved in the Village Citizens Budget Review Advisory Committee (CBRAC) and the School Board, while my wife got involved in Girl Scouts,

religious instruction and volunteering at school functions. I am currently a Chief Financial Officer of a boutique Wall Street firm. I have over 20 years of experience as a CFO and before that I was an auditor at a Big 4 public accounting firm. I became involved in the School District as a member of the Audit Committee and from there I applied and was appointed to the Board of Education and served two additional terms. Q: Are there aspects of your education or experience that will be especially helpful in preparing you

to serve as a member of the school board? I have served on the Garden City Board of Education for seven years. I have served as President for the last two years. I also serve as Chairman of the Audit Committee. My experience serving the Garden City School District has prepared me to serve our community at the highest level for another three-year term.

High Inflation is Here. Should You Alter Your Investment Approach?

If you drive a car, chances are you’re feeling the “pain at the pump” caused by inflationary pressures and global supply chain disruptions from Russia’s invasion on Ukraine that have caused the price of gasoline to surge in recent months. But the sticker shock goes beyond gas stations. In 2021, the inflation rate, as measured by the Consumer Price Index, rose by 7.0 percent, the largest annual change in living costs since the early 1980s. What does this mean for consumers? In basic terms, the cost of an average basket of goods rose seven percent in just one year – and it remains to be seen how long it will take for inflation to cool down. While much attention is paid to how this is impacting short-term purchases like food and clothing, it’s also important to consider the toll it could take on your investments. Consider that over the ten-year period ending in 2020, the median annual inflation rate was 1.7 percent. At that level, it would take more than 40 years for living costs to double. If, as was the case in 2021, the annual inflation rate averaged 7 percent per year, the costof-living would double in just over ten years. If you’re wondering if your portfolio is built to withstand these challenges, here is some information to help you decide: INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS IN INFLATIONARY TIMES First, remember that the change in the inflationary environment does not necessarily mean it’s prudent to dramatically alter your investments. If your portfolio is appropriately balanced with your risk tolerance and time horizon in mind, fine tuning your investments may be a more appropriate strategy. EQUITIES In general, equities (also known as stocks) play an important role in long-term portfolios. Compared to other asset classes, stocks may experience more volatility in the short term. However, they historically generate superior returns over the long term and should be positioned to do so in your portfolio, particularly if you have a long time horizon. Making regular investments in equities

through retirement plan contributions can be an effective way to build your equity holdings in a volatile market environment. Systematic investing can enable you to buy more shares of an investment at a lower expense when markets are down and pay for fewer shares when prices are up. FIXED INCOME INVESTMENTS Bond yields don’t always keep pace with inflation, particularly with living costs as high as they are today. If you’re concerned about this, investing in Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) is one option to consider. These are marketable securities that pay a set rate of interest, but the underlying value of the bond is adjusted based on the inflation rate. Also worth considering as a fixed income investment tied to inflation are I-Bonds, a form of U.S. Savings Bonds. You can invest up to $10,000 per year in these bonds. The interest rate paid is adjusted every six months based on the inflation rate. In early 2022, I-Bonds are paying a yield of 7.12%. However, these bonds are not completely liquid, so your money needs to be committed for at least a year, with full liquidity reached in five years. OTHER INVESTMENT OPTIONS There are other investments that offer diversification potential in a high inflation period. This includes real estate, which may see rising values and higher income streams that often tend to reflect changes in the costof-living. Real Estate Investment Trusts are marketable securities that offer ready access to the real estate market. Precious metals such as gold can play a role as a hedge against inflation. However, gold is a highly volatile asset class and shouldn’t represent more than a small percentage of your portfolio. A GOOD TIME TO PLAN It can be beneficial to sit down with your financial advisor to more carefully assess how your portfolio and overall financial plan are situated in today’s economy. Your advisor can help you assess how to manage your current expenses more efficiently while still keeping your most important savings goals on track.

The National Gallery of London. The Garden City Public Library will be presenting a lecture, given by Mary Maguire, on the National Gallery of London. It will be held on next Thursday, May 19, at 2 p.m. in the large Meeting Room on the lower level of the library. The National Gallery is an art museum in Trafalgar Square in the heart of London. It houses a collection of over 2,400 paintings, most of which are able to be permanently on view. It is the fourth most visited art museum in the world, after the Louvre, the British Museum and our own Metropolitan Museum

of Art. Walking through its galleries is like turning the pages of Janson’s “History of Art”. Major developments in art history, from Giotto to Cézanne, are all represented with important works. Iconic works, such as “The Arnolfini Double Portrait”, Velazquez’ “Rokeby Venus”, Holbein’s “The Ambassadors”, Turner’s “The Fighting Temeraire” and Constable’s “The Hay Wain” will all be highlighted. Please consider joining us for this program sponsored by the Friends of the Garden City Library.

THE VIEW FROM HERE

Post-Roe Politics BY BOB MORGAN, JR. I try to avoid writing about divisive social issues, but it is difficult to get around commenting about the likely end (or at least substantial cutback) of the Supreme Court’s 1973 ruling in Roe v. Wade in which the Court declared that a right to abortion was constitutionally mandated. The principal argument for this conclusion in Roe was that prohibiting abortion violated a right to privacy inherent in the Constitution and Bill of Rights. As a result of Roe, abortion prohibitions in approximately 46 states were overturned. Last week, a leaked draft opinion by Justice Samuel Alito in the Dobbs case which arose out of a Mississippi statute prohibiting abortion after 15 weeks, indicated that the Court was poised to overturn Ro. The rationale in Justice Alito’s draft is that an abortion right was not found in the Constitution nor reasonably derived from its provisions. However, the draft opinion is not final and it is possible that the result of the case or the Court’s analysis could change. Beyond stating that I have not been particularly impressed by the Roe decision from the time I first read it in law school, and that I believe that further review and action by the Court on the subject of abortion is appropriate, I am going to confine this column to an analysis of the likely political fallout from the Dobbs case. I will assume that something close to the opinion by Justice Alito is ultimately issued. First of all, it seems likely that a good number of people do not understand that the end of Roe will not in itself make abortion illegal in the United States. In fact, overturning the decision just means that the subject will be placed back in the hands of the state legislatures. In some states like New York and California, it is virtually certain abortions will be permitted. Indeed, if anything, abortion rights are likely to be expanded, even to the point of subsidizing women from other states who seek abortions. On the other hand, there are perhaps 15 states

who will likely ban abortions, perhaps subject to a few exceptions, and some others may limit the number of weeks during which it is allowed. Given the overall political situation in 2022, you certainly can make a case that this issue will be helpful to Democrats in the midterm election. This has been shaping up as a miserable election for Democrats, with an unpopular President, rampant inflation, a crime spike, a falling stock market, out of control immigration, and a war that could escalate. The Democrats’ prospects arguably will be a little different with the end of Roe. A decision overturning it could inspire apathetic or demoralized Democrats to vote, work actively for candidates and contribute more money. In races for the Senate, which is still in play, Democrats will point out that President Biden will effectively lose much of his ability to appoint federal judges, including justices of the Supreme Court if Democrats do not retain control. Democrats will also, accurately or not, make a slippery slope argument that the end of Roe could jeopardize other recent Supreme Court rulings on social issues that are popular with young voters, for example, the Obergefell decision allowing gay marriage, For Republicans, the best political advice would be to agree with the Court that the abortion issue needs to be decided by legislatures rather than unelected judges, and pretty much leave it at that. Swing voters are probably not interested in a new era of social upheaval and the GOP, which has the wind at its back right now, needs to focus on the failures of the Biden Administration rather than abortion politics. Indeed, advocacy of a federal statute banning abortion, which may be unconstitutional in any event, is unwise. Most likely voters in November will be largely focused on economic issues. But the draft opinion by Judge Alito does inject a significant note of uncertainty in our politics.

THIS WEEK AT ROTARY GC Chairman of the Board of Commissioners of Cultural and Recreational Affairs to speak on May 24

Commissioner Blake will enlighten Rotarians and Guests about the inner workings of cultural affairs and of the field of Recreation and Parks. According to its website, the Garden City Department of Recreation and Parks takes pride in its mission to enhance the lives of residents. It fosters a sense of community by providing diverse and valued parks and open recreational facilities along with a wide variety of programs and activities for Garden City Residents of all ages – all which have achieved the Village’s recognition as a unique and model community. Of note, the Parks Department plants more than 100 new trees each year and this fall, planted 47,000 tulip bulbs currently in full bloom throughout the commercial districts and specific areas throughout the Village. As Commissioner of Parks and Recreation, Paul Blake recalls his work in the field since 1971 when he began as a part time Recreation Attendant. He held numerous jobs throughout the years which included Superintendent of Recreation from 1994 to early 2001. It was then, in 2001, that Paul left Garden City to work for the Town of North Hempstead as a Deputy Commissioner of Parks. a position he held until he took retirement in 2010.

It was then that he was hired as a consultant by the Village of Garden City to assist in the operation of the Recreation Department while a new Parks Commissioner was sought. After several months as a consultant, Paul was encouraged to apply for the Parks Commissioner position, and after an extensive search and interview procedure, was hired as Commissioner in October of 2019.

Girl Scouts from Garden City recognized at CEO dinner

H is to r y

This drawing of early Garden City was done in 1878 looking north. It is a very detailed drawing showing every structure built in Garden City over its first ten years. That is Second Street in the foreground going left to right. The drawing can be dated due to the unfinished Cathedral of the Incarnation seen left of center along Cathedral Avenue. Also, just to the south of the Cathedral is an Apostle House that would be destroyed by fire in 1879 and that is where the Bishop’s Mansion was built in the early 1880s. It is this drawing that shows where the original houses were built. This includes the identical original ten from 1872 nicknamed years later “Apostles.” Many Garden City histories report that number incorrectly but there were ten.

BY GARY SIMEONE Seven Girl Scouts from the Village were recognized at the 500+ CEO Dinner that was held at the Inn at New Hyde Park this past Monday night. The annual dinner was part of the the Girl Scout Cookie program, a hands-on leadership and entrepreneurial program in which girls learn attributes like goal setting, decision-making, people skills, money-management and business ethics. The seven Girl Scouts who were recognized, out of over 700 plus Girl Scouts in the Village, included sisters Riya (Troop 1437) and Anjali Motwani (Troop 1351), Ava Alecio (Troop 1650), Hailey Hendrickson (Troop 1125), Olivia Mastaglio (Troop 1414), Isabel Porto (Troop 1135), and Aarya Mankikar (Troop 1337). Their total in gross sales was a whopping $22,845 which equaled out to 4,569 boxes of cookies sold. Jigisha Motwani-Mongroo, a Girl Scout Cookie mom, and mother of Riya and Anjali, said the girls worked hard from December to April, trying to sell enough cookies to raise money for their Troops. “Each of these seven girls worked particularly hard from late December to the first week of April, selling over 500 boxes of cookies,” said MotwaniMongroo. “They were invited to this special dinner where each girl was recognized individually for the effort they have put in these past few months.” She said that the majority of Girl

Scouts are hard-pressed to sell a hundred boxes of cookies in a season, and that it was a major feat for the seven girls to tally over five-hundred boxes. “They were out there early in the morning and in the cold weather at the Roosevelt Field mall, King’s and Key Food supermarkets, at St. Paul’s and set up in their booths in front of DouglasElliman Real Estate to get their cookie sales in. These are eleven to twelve year-old girls who are putting in this hard work and at the same time learning valuable entrepreneurial, sales techniques and money management skills.” She added that for each box sold, the girls earn eighty cents for their respective troops, and that each girl invited to the dinner earned a minimum of $400 for their troop over the course of the season. Hailey Hendrickson topped the list of cookie sales with 775 boxes sold. Olivia Mastaglio and Ava Alecio both sold 750 boxes, Isabel Porto sold 654 boxes and Aarya Mankikar sold 572 boxes to be invited to the CEO Dinner. Motwani-Mongroo said her two daughters sold a combined 1,068 boxes of cookies between them. Anjali and Riya have also been invited to the Operation Cookie 2022 Hometown Heroes event for getting over 100 boxes of donations for military members during their sales drive. They will distribute the donations in-person on Tuesday, May 17, at the Garden City Marine base on Stewart Avenue.

THE MAYOR’S UPDATE cveneziale@gardencityny.net

Water Tank Update

Garden City’s new water tank is scheduled to be filled this week, a final step in a long process to replace the one million gallon storage structure. It will take approximately 3-5 days to fill the tank, which Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi expects to be fully online for the high water season. Once filled, the water in the tank must undergo testing prior to being put into service. Originally constructed in 1933, the 89-year-old tank has been offline for nearly three years. It was last rehabilitated in 1992; emergency repairs were made to the tank’s roof due to leaks and holes in 2015. Final site restorations are underway as the painting contractor continues with interior water cavity touch ups. The painting contractor is expected to complete all touch-ups and de-rig the interior water cavity this week. The tank will be pressure washed and disinfected before filling begins.

St. Paul's Roof Repairs

Seaboard Weatherproofing & Restoration continues masonry roof work on the St. Paul’s Main Building. Crews are working to weatherproof the flat and mansard roofs. Building Superintendent Giuseppe Giovanniello met with the contractor on site Friday, May 6, to review the work taking place. “The repairs are progressing nicely and all work is satisfactory in getting the building watertight,” he said. The contractor is continuing to work on the flat roof areas, and will be working on the mansard roof area this week. The roof needs some structural members replaced in order to secure the plywood to complete the roofing shingles. Weather permitting, we hope to complete roofing replacement and repairs within four to six weeks.

Mayor's St. Paul's Committee Update

Previously I reported that I and professional members of the Design & Engineering subcommittee inspected the conditions in the interior of the St. Paul’s building and completed their report that the building is intact and stable for renovation and future use. Their report is posted on the Village website. A further analysis of the conditions described in the report appears in this edition of the GC News. Also published in the GC News on April 29, 2022 is the factual history of Garden City and the unique, historic St.Paul’s building. The Committee continues to identify suitable community uses for the building by researching the efforts made by other communities to preserve historically important buildings, to design and engineer the building to accommodate those commu-

nity uses, and to provide the costs and financing mechanisms to achieve those goals, all in an effort to provide the facts needed to determine the future of the building. Periodic updates to keep you informed will follow. Again, we welcome all helpful, constructive advice as well as other recommendations from our residents and friends as we strive to preserve our truly unique, historic treasure.

treatments, assessed the various street segments in the study area for suitability, and developed concept plans for select treatments on a few representative streets. See the full study on the Village website, www. gardencityny.net.

GCFD Activity

Chief Matthew Pearn reported that during April the Department responded to 90 total calls: • 80 “Signal 8” calls or non-emergency automatic alarms • 5 general alarms • 2 extrication calls where volunteers used extrication tools at motor vehicle accidents • 3 mutual aid calls to assist neighboring Fire Departments

LIRR Landscaping Plan

I am continuing to work with the L.I.R.R. and 3TC to implement the new, enhanced landscaping plan and the stone cladding of the Denton Avenue Underpass wing walls. I thank Trustee Bruce Chester, Paul Rothenbiller of the Third Track Committee and resident Landscape Architect Celia Petersen for volunteering their time and expertise in improving the areas affected by the L.I.R.R. Third Track Project.

Water Service Line Replacement Fees Waived

The Board has agreed to waive fees for residents replacing their water service line from their home to the street retroactive to September 1, 2021. This does not include the required deposit. The waiver is set to expire on May 5, 2024. Waived fees, which originate from the Public Works and Building Departments, are variable based on construction costs.

Public Hearing May 19th: Numbered Streets Traffic Calming Study

The Board of Trustees will hold a public hearing regarding a Traffic Calming Study for the Village-owned “numbered” streets on Thursday, May 19, 2022 beginning at 7:30 p.m. in the Village Hall Board Room and via Zoom (email Village Clerk Karen Altman at kaltman@gardencityny.net before 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, May 19, 2022 for the Zoom link). Interested in understanding the issues around, and possible treatments for, calming traffic throughout the municipality, the Board retained Creighton Manning (CM) to perform the study, an extension of a related, but entirely separate study for a Road Diet on Cathedral Avenue which is under review by Nassau County. CM evaluated the existing conditions, gathered and analyzed traffic data, researched possible

Edgemere Firehouse

The Board of Trustees has engaged Old Structure Engineering, P.C. to provide engineering investigation and analysis services to determine and then design the feasible alteration of the existing Edgemere Road Firehouse building and potential additions at a cost of $45,000. Asbestos abatement was completed in April. The general contractor has begun brick work. In February, the Board engaged PAR Environmental Corporation for the asbestos abatement at a cost of $255,500 and Seaboard Weatherproofing & Restoration for temporary weatherproofing and masonry work at a cost of $370,768.

New Pool Membership Cards

The Garden City Pool is issuing new membership cards this year. Old cards will not be valid. Every Pool member, regardless of age, must get a new card. Cards will be issued in a different color to discourage use of the old cards. To receive your new membership card, please stop by the Garden City Pool beginning Friday, May 13. Photo hours will be 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday to Friday; 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. The Pool opens for the season on Saturday, June 11 at 12 noon.

Keeping Village's Downtown Clean

Commissioner Kenneth Jackson, Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi and Building Superintendent Giuseppe Giovanniello have been speaking to restaurant owners and reviewing their outdoor dining layouts to ensure proper clearances and code regulations. Further, Village Clerk Karen Altman drafted a letter to restaurant

owners in response to numerous resident complaints regarding excessive amounts of trash in the vicinity of Village outdoor dining establishments. Trash is quickly accumulating in Village receptacles and dumpsters. In order to ensure that outdoor dining is a safe and pleasant experience for residents and visitors, the Village asks that restaurant owners regularly maintain and clean the outside area daily and remove any accumulated trash. As a reminder, it is the restaurant owner’s obligation to both maintain their premises and provide sufficient trash receptacles. With input from the Recreation and Parks and Public Works Departments, the Police Department is monitoring the outdoor dining areas and enforcing violations. The Building Department may also enforce these violations. Violators can be fined up to $1,500 by the Judge. Failure to abide by the Village’s Local Law pertaining to outdoor dining could result in revocation of a restaurant owner’s license.

LIRR Third Track Update

During the month of May, you will see crews performing the following construction activities in Garden City: Utilities • Crews from EJ Electric have begun the process of removing temporary utility poles across the entire project alignment.

Landscaping • With planting season underway, 3TC has remained committed to landscaping and other design elements – such as the planting of trees, shrubs and other greenery – that will enhance a completed project and contribute to the beautification of the corridor. Double Track Outages and Weekend Work For Commuters: Both tracks on the Main Line will be out of service on Saturdays from 1:17 a.m. to Mondays at 2:27 a.m. on the following, upcoming weekends: • May 14-15 • May 21-22 Please visit the MTA Planned Service

Page (https://new.mta.info/) to plan your trip For residents living along the ROW: Throughout May, crews are working along the right-of-way on the weekends. Although work will be intensive along the corridor from Floral Park to Hicksville, consolidating the work timeframe will minimize impacts to commuters and the surrounding communities, ultimately reducing the need for invasive track work for years to come. • On the weekends of May 14-15 and May 21-22 (Fridays at ~9:00 p.m. to Mondays at ~5:00 a.m.) crews are working along the right-of-way. • Please note that the LIRR and project team are utilizing upcoming DTO weekends to complete other necessary rail infrastructure upgrades along the corridor.

*There are no double-track outages or intensive work occurring during Memorial Day, the Belmont Stakes, or Father’s Day/Juneteenth weekend. * Additional LIRR Work Along the Railroad Right-of-Way • In addition to the activities described above, you may see or hear LIRR forces working along the railroad right-of-way at various times during the month. • To avoid LIRR service interruptions during peak commuting hours, LIRR work along the railroad right-ofway may be taking place overnight and on weekends. • For more information, visit the post in the Community News section of LIRRExpansion.com.

Grassroots leadership

To the Editor: We have a critical election on May 17–three seats are open for the Board of Education. For those of us who are parents of school-aged children, the past 2+ years have been trying. We have watched our children experience isolation and learning difficulties, and we have done our best to adjust and adapt to help our children succeed. We know from our own school experiences what they have missed in terms of social-emotional learning and subject matter learning. We also know the impact from what our children tell us– missed mask breaks, not hearing the teachers, missing sports, and so on. Joseph Sileo, William O’Donohue, and Arthur Gnecco all have schoolaged children and can relate to our experiences. They understand and have a direct interest in making sure

our Garden City schools provide a fantastic, whole-child education for all children. They will look to advocate within our laws and regulations for a common-sense approach to providing an optimal learning experience. Within the guidelines we have, there is always room for setting a strategy that best fits our school community and that is at the heart of their candidacies. These three men are some of the nicest people you will meet and have a proven track record of success in their various professional fields. These skills and attributes–collaborative, good listener, measured, thoughtful, fair-minded–all are highly transferable to the BoE leadership positions. This is not a game or some political gambit for them. They are endorsed by no other group than their friends and the POAs. This is true grassroots community leadership they wish for in their service. As taxpayers and homeowners in this district, they also have a vested interest in improving the performance of our schools. They want our schools to stand out at the top of the charts not only locally but nationally as well. Between now and Election Day, I ask you as fellow community members to use this time to learn more about Sileo, O’Donohue, and Gnecco. With that information, I believe your choice

Alarm Bells

To the Editor: The resignation of Michael Cassaro from the Board of Education should set off alarm bells for all residents voting in the upcoming BOE election. As Mr. Cassaro so eloquently stated in his resignation letter, “The nature of the discourse around our schools has become so dangerously vitriolic, and I hope that my resignation will cause people to pause over and temper all the anger and venom.” When good people resign from important roles in the community - or decide not to participate having witnessed the same - the community suffers. We’ve seen how easily and quickly things can change for the worse; it would be a mistake to take the high standing of Garden City schools for granted. Any negative impact on schools affects the students first and foremost, and when school performance suffers, so do property values. When our family moved to Garden City the primary reason was the school district’s excellent reputation. It turned out to be one of our best decisions; our children received excellent preparation for college and are thriving in their careers. Fast forward to 2022: in a pattern that’s been repeated in many places across the country, angry, over-the-top rhetoric about Covid-related mandates has become the focal point at BOE meetings and has fueled even worse commentary on social media. Our schools should not be political battlefields, yet Superintendent Dr. Kusum Sinha and board members have repeatedly had their attention diverted from educational matters to anger and accusations over state mandated health protocols. I took time out recently to attend a meet-and-greet with Colleen Foley and Bill Holub on Seventh Street and again at the Senior Center on May 4th. Given the rhetorically overheated environment, I’m grateful to these two highly qualified and experienced individuals for their willingness to remain in and to take on these vital roles. Tremendous stresses were placed on students and educators these past two years and a sober, reasoned discussion is needed to determine what worked and what didn’t in response to an unprecedented situation. More than ever we need experienced and qualified people to navigate through these uncharted waters. I’m voting for Colleen and Bill to use their experience and credentials to work in the best interest of our students and our community. I am certain that they will promote an environment of high achievement, accountability, respect differences of opinion, and seek consensus. Lynn Krug

Need fresh set of eyes

To the Editor: We have heard a lot about the twenty plus years of experience Colleen Foley and Bill Holub would bring to the Board of Education. But with that experience comes a track record. Let’s review. Over these past twenty years we have seen administrative costs in our school budget skyrocket. During this same time period we have seen cuts in, but not limited to, gifted programs (QUEST), school sports (remember JV-B and 9th grade teams - yes there was a time when we didn’t have 38 kids on a JV team with one coach) and major lawsuits related to inadequate Special Education services. Colleen Foley also served on the Village Board of Trustees during the controversial 555 Stewart Avenue agreement, the disaster that is the MTA 3rd Rail Project at Merillon Avenue, installation of Monster Poles, the Casino drama and the ADA handicap parking lawsuit. The current Board of Education led by Bill Holub rubber stamped a $750,000 greenhouse project in last year’s school budget. The details for use and purpose of this greenhouse were vague at best. Fast forward to this year and the greenhouse has morphed into a $2 million outdoor learning and research center at the high school. How exactly this multi million dollar outdoor space will be used in a Northeast state is unclear. Thank you for your service but it is time for a change. We need a fresh set of eyes to review the expenses of this district as well as the safety and curriculum of our schools. We need a different set of ears willing to listen to the concerns of all parents. And we need bold new voices who will advocate for our children. Joe Sileo, Billy O’Donohue and Artie Gnecco are the right choices on May 17th. Go to the polls and vote! Ryan Mulrooney

Protocols kept schools open

To the Editor: As someone who has known Colleen Foley since our children went through the Garden City schools together, I am thrilled to see her running for the Board of Education alongside our current BOE President, Bill Holub. I have known Colleen both personally and professionally for many years. She has spent her lifetime volunteering for both the village and district and brings a fierce passion and unwavering dedication to all that she pursues. I can’t imagine a better addition to our Board of Education. Furthermore, Bill Holub has been a great leader to our school district. I have worked as a nurse, for many years, See page 46

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Email: Editor@GCNews.com From page 44 in the district and was witness to the district’s commitment to the health and safety of all students and staff during this unprecedented time. Some may have been upset about the safety regulations that were followed in our schools but we did what was advised by the New York State Department of Health as well as our local Nassau County Department of Health. The protocols put into place kept our schools open and our children learning during an unprecedented time. Let us remember that Garden City was not the only town impacted by the pandemic. The pandemic affected every town, city, state and country. Our Board of Education did the best that they could for the students and the community at large. It was not easy to navigate a virus we knew nothing about. Bill Holub and Colleen Foley have shown great leadership and care greatly about our community and our children. I encourage you to get to know them both and to vote for Colleen Foley and Bill Holub for Board of Education on Tuesday, May 17th. Patricia Raymond, RN

Dismissive attitude

To the Editor: I love being a resident of Garden City. Ive always believe living in this village gives my five children a great educational and community experience. Last year I and many of my neighbors were trying to discuss matters impacting our children. I became more aware of the Trustees of the Garden City Board of Education during that time as me and many of my neighbors tried to communicate with them regarding a number worrisome agenda items from state leaders that I want to protect our children from. I was terribly disappointed by the dismissive attitude and response from many of the board members. I care deeply about the quality of our schools so I am supporting Artie Gnecco, Billy O’ Donohue and Joseph Sileo on May 17th. Tom Melendez

Two experienced candidates

To the Editor: It is May of 2022 and the global pandemic is behind us. It is now time for the Garden City community to elect volunteers to the Board of Education who will lead us into the future. It is essential that these leaders recognize that BOE trustees take an oath to follow the laws of the state of New York and basically have three jobs: make district policies, keep the district fiscally sound and manage the superintendent. Two candidates who are running this year have extensive experience doing these things, Bill Holub and Colleen Foley. Between them they have twenty years

of experience on the BOE, nearly half as the president. The last two years have been challenging for everyone. Bill Holub, as BOE President, has worked tirelessly to make sure that our district remained one of the best on Long Island and that our students had the best experience possible given the challenges of a global health emergency. He worked with the superintendent to make sure that in September of 2020 all of our K-5 students who wanted to were able to return to school full time in person and when physical distancing could safely be decreased in the classrooms, all students returned full time. Despite the increased costs incurred during the pandemic, Bill kept our district fiscally sound and helped us earn a AAA bond rating. In addition, Bill recognized that many parents were concerned with the potential learning loss that was being discussed across the U.S. He asked the district to study our data to see if this was true in our schools. When the data was presented it showed that our students fared very well and significant learning loss had not occurred. Those students who needed extra support were offered summer classes, before school and after school classes to help them catch up to their peers. Even with all of the challenges over the past two years, Bill has made the updating of our policies a priority as well as the mental health of our students. Colleen Foley also has much to add to our school district. As a previous member and president of the BOE she oversaw the completion of two bonds that added significant space and programs to our schools. She also negotiated multiple contracts with district unions and helped to improve our special education programs. Colleen has the added experience of working in a nearby school district so she understands the daily happenings in a school building and what has occurred over the past two years as a result of the pandemic. She has dedicated a tremendous amount of time volunteering for SEPTA, the PTA and serving as a Village Trustee. Colleen has shown that she knows how to work with others and get things accomplished. I encourage the residents of Garden City to think about which candidates will best be able to move our school district forward after the unprecedented COVID pandemic. It is important we elect people who have the experience and knowledge to keep our district on the right path. Bill Holub and Colleen Foley have the dedication and vision to do so. Stefanie Granville, Vice President, Garden City Board of Education

Positive force for good

To the Editor: The pandemic gave us an opportunity to hit the pause button and reflect on what truly matters. With that said, parents with different needs and issues began to look more closely at the Garden City Board of Education governance, the curriculum and the litany of services offered to the student body. To summarize, these parents within our community are not satisfied with the current environment and are demanding change by seeking to elect this exceptional group of individuals who also saw the need for change and have graciously offered their time to help the community. Joe Sileo, Bill O’Donohue and Artie Gnecco have “skin in the game” with their children attending Garden City schools; they will ask fair and tough questions, shine a light on the educational program, raise transparency and not forget to listen to the needs of the community. Given the chance, I am certain they will be a powerful and positive force for good. The Garden City community is at a clear inflection point and will need to make an important decision regarding the upcoming BOE election. For me, the decision could not be any clearer. I will be voting for Sileo, O’Donohue and Gnecco and I hope you will do the same. Please get to know Sileo, O’Donohue and Gnecco over the next few days, do your civic duty and join your neighbors on May 17th at the Garden City High School and vote for these terrific candidates. You won’t be disappointed! Valerie Morizio

Protect public education

To the Editor: Our schools should not be political battlefields. I have watched these past two years as our Superintendent and Board of Education have repeatedly been viciously attacked and have had their attention diverted from educational matters to governmental Covid mandates and Department of Health protocols. I have attended Board of Education meetings where parents have threatened members of the Board as well as community members in the audience all over a mask. A mask. Our schools are a place to educate our community’s children. Our schools are not political chess pieces – especially here in Garden City where our school district’s reputation is the reason most of us live here and have the property values that we do. We cannot allow political agendas and tactics to ruin what we love about the community of Garden City. Mrs. Foley and Mr. Holub are laser-focused on issues related to education. They have built a legacy in our district and our schools have flourished under their leadership and our high local, state, and national rankings prove

that. The focus of our schools should be to deliver a top notch education to our community’s children. Mrs. Foley and Mr. Holub have done that and they are well-equipped and experienced to do it again. Please protect our public education in Garden City and vote for Mrs. Foley and Mr. Holub. Melissa Boccia

BOE: Time for a change

To the Editor: All BoE candidates should be willing to have open conversations with the parents of this district. It is important to see how an individual seeking such an important position answers difficult and sometimes uncomfortable questions off the cuff. I recently listened to candidates Ms. Foley and Mr. Holub on a “live Q & A” call. Although the call itself was live, it appeared as though their question and answer session was pre-planned and rehearsed. A moderator was present. Important questions from parents went unanswered, as they have for quite some time in this district. In contrast, Artie Gnecco’s recent open call was just that. He was open and knowledgeable, speaking on his experience as an educator and administrator in the NYC Department of Education since 2001, currently holding the position of school principal. No moderator, no pre-planned question and answer session; just an open dialogue between Mr. Gnecco and concerned parents of this district. Throughout the call, one common thread: TRANSPARENCY and the need for more of it in our schools. For me, further confirmation that he is the right candidate for the upcoming BoE election on May 17, 2021. There is a lot of disinformation swirling about the candidates that have not previously held the role of Board of Education Trustee. Rather than listening to hearsay, please take the time to learn about each candidate. Votes matter and elections have consequences. Make sure that you vote for those that align with YOUR values and YOUR objectives. Reflect back and think about how the students of this district have been impacted. Urge your friends and family to do the same. I have invested time to learn about each candidate and in my opinion, it is time for a change. My vote will be for Artie Gnecco, Billy O’Donohue and Joe Sileo. Brie Powers

School. At that time there weren’t any ADA accessible stalls and I got stuck in one for an hour trying to stand up. Eventually I managed to get to the gym, but I put this issue on my “to do” list for the mobility impaired. Later that year, I brought my concern to the Board of Education and, because it was a capital budget issue, I returned at budget time with follow up information and reiterated the importance of having these bathrooms at the high school be ADA accessible. The Board of Education included my request in the 2018 budget. The successful advocacy for the bathroom improvements came about because the Board of Education listened and Bill Holub supported this project. Also, as a former President of the WPOA, I respected the way Bill kept the neighbors up to date about issues concerning the schools at our meetings. On Tuesday, May 17th, I plan to vote for Bill Holub and Colleen Foley. Both have run positive campaigns, understand the state and local laws, and have resisted the temptation to engage their opponents’ supporters in a race to the bottom. Both have demonstrated their commitment to our district and our town, evident not just from their previous experience on the Board, but also in their current willingness to step up and once again serve our community despite the current climate. Gerard Kelly ‘75, Parent 2018 Mobility Impaired Committee Chair

A simple survey

To the Editor: We live in a beautiful village where people have differing opinions but all need to be heard and respected. We have the resources and the power in this village to feel out how people are responding to certain issues. Should be get rid of the very large poles? Are we for or against leaf blowers? We could survey several topics at any given time and find out what the population in Garden City is thinking and then act accordingly. Data is a useful and powerful tool - and the data that is collected through a well thought out survey usually satisfies to scratch the itch many people are pondering as to how people are feeling at any given moment. Numerous times during the past two years parents have asked for a survey regarding school resuming in person versus hybrid, if masks were necessary or could be optional, or if the residents though local control was more important versus state mandates. There were various requests for surveys and many letters written imploring the Board, led by William Holub, to ask the residents what it was that they felt was more important on an array of topics that never were conducted which I believe is a failure by our Board of Education

as many parents, with all differing opinions, asked for this. We need to make sure that won’t happen again, and vote in Artie Gnecco for William Holub’s spot, and Billy O’Donohue for the spot made vacant by Mrs. Granville. We need fresh faced parents of school aged children who attend our schools now to lead the way of the future. Let this vote be the survey we asked for repeatedly - and let the residents tell the Board we want to be heard. Vote for Artie Gnecco, Billy O’ Donohue and Joseph Sileo on May 17th, all of whom are for more transparency and more parent involvement. We owe it to our children. Anthony Ziniti

Disturbing incidents

To the Editor: We have a very important Board of Education (BOE) vote next week. With three of the BOE seats open, the direction of the BOE will be set May 17th for years to come. However, it is not only important WHO is elected, it is also important HOW the candidates are elected. The Board of Trustees for the Village has made great strides the last two years in opening the Village Governance to the residents. Elections are no longer decided by 200 POA members voting, but have 10 to 15 times that number of residents voting. The BOT meetings are open and respectful with the end of the 4 minute limit that was used to stifle residents. We have Meet and Greets where any resident can raise issues and have been instrumental in correcting the Raymond Court Parking lot issue and the removal of the fence at Franklin Mews. And we have a large number of committees to help the BOT address issues, including the Third Track Committee and the 38-Member St. Paul’s Committee that will result in a fall referendum leading to a final solution for the spectacular, but neglected building. However, because of a loud, aggressive minority, that many associate with Parents United, the BOE risks going in the exact opposite direction of the BOT, a less open BOE with village volunteers fleeing the concept of community service. Many are aware of the recent disturbing incidents that have recently come to our Village: 1) the resignation of BOE member Michael Cassaro because “discourse around our schools has become dangerously vitriolic” and concern for his families well-being (See Michael’s resignation letter in GCNews dated March 10th, 2022); B an Estates POA BOE member that would not run again and the Estates POA President thought it was necessary

Email: Editor@GCNews.com to have police protection at a meeting with the BOE member; 3) an Eastern POA BOE candidate whose special needs child’s status was publicly, and in writing, questioned by a POA Nominating Committee Member and Parents United member; 4) a member of a POA Nominating Committee, and Parents United member, writing to SEPTA to insist upon resignations of a long-standing SEPTA member that didn’t agree with their group’s tactics and intimidation; 5) the references at BOE meetings comparing masks to the Holocaust and the term “Nazi” directed at a supporter of the opposing party at a Western POA meeting; 6) the use of the term “child abuse” directed at opposing supporters and candidates as if anyone that thinks there are occasions where one’s child should wear a mask is indicative of those parents having less love for and concern for their children’s health; 7) Attacks on PTA including boycotting membership as well as their annual fundraising dinner; and 8) The need for heightened police presence at Board of Ed meetings given the increased hostility and vitriolic nature of comments from members of the Parents’ United group. We want to preserve and continue our tradition of excellence in education here in Garden City. Our # 3 ranking is something to be proud of. But what we also want to preserve is the idea of community engagement, not harassing or intimidating those with opposing thoughts and ideas, as if only one party has the monopoly on truth and if you have differing views you are automatically, and repeatedly, labeled a “child abuser” on social media. As someone who has rarely followed the BOE issues before the pandemic, I have no right to suggest to the residents of this Village how to vote in this election. However, I think all residents should ask about HOW the two platforms have run their campaign, both the independent Foley-Holub platform and the Parents United platform of Gnecco and O’Donohue. For if one group is elected by harassing BOE members to resign, by intimidating candidates not to run, by their candidates sitting back and accepting the endorsement yet pretending they are unaware, or worse, they claim that “I’m not on social media” and are successful, the lesson we will have given future candidates and our children is not to volunteer, not to get involved, not to contribute, and yes, to not run for office on ideas and values, but to intimidate the opposition into either be too fearful to run, or feeling it is just not worth the hassle. THAT will be the lasting legacy for our Village if we vote incorrectly. Donald MacLeod

New ideas, new attitude

To the Editor: The upcoming Garden City School Board Elections is us an opportunity for evaluating the BOE’s performance over the past few years and see how it reflects on the future. The issues are many and these are a few examples to consider: Falling Behind – while the pandemic effected every school, Garden City seems to have done far worse. By recent statements at BOE meetings, GC remains late to the game to catch up versus more focused Districts. By the fall of 2020, it was readily obvious to any parent that students were sliding backwards and slipping significantly in performance. This was particularly acute in the most vulnerable K-8 grades. The BOE simply never had an effective game plan as it seemed delayed, flawed and grossly inadequate. Who was watching? Reading Program – vital to an educational strategy is a strong reading program. The raises the question on why does GC continue to use the debunked Columbia Teachers College program? Many classroom teachers knew it was flawed and ineffective. What was done? At the same time when reading performances were declining, who allowed for reading positions to be eliminated. How many classified reading teachers there are in the District? You might be shocked by the response. Who was responsible? Only Professionals – The national teacher’s union head Weingarten as well as a past BOE member tout that only “the experts” should have a meaningful say in education. They argue that parents are simply not qualified to know what is best. The reality is that GC parents in this district know their child’s strengths, needs and strengths. Parents want the best possible outcome, not the least. GC needs common sense advocates, questioning everything on the BOE; positioned to challenge not rubber stamp. Attitude –attendees at BOE meetings comment about the attitude from some BOE members. Where respect and idea exchanges were expected, they were met with disdain, condescension. Questions never elicit an answer, just silence. Parents go seeking information yet walk away frustrated by the black hole of bureaucracy: ‘We’ll look into that.’ It is not what GC needs. Early and Continuous Intervention – early identification of children with educational issues (reading, dyslexia, cognitive, etc.) is the key to crafting solutions. Yet, only when a parent demand evaluation are some services reluctantly offered. Contrast that with the best schools on LI where the identification of issues is encouraged. See page 50

WE’RE STILL OPEN

By most measures, the BOE (past and present) performance might be worthy of our concern. One solution is new ideas, new attitude. It is suggested that the BOE needs to do much, much better. Whoever is elected needs to be accountable for their performance and ensure that the Administration does much better. Please pick wisely when you vote. Richard Williams

Vote for O’Donahue

To the Editor: I want to encourage you all to vote for Bill O’Donahue for our school board. I have know Billy and his family for twenty years. He has coached several of my children in different sports and has been an active community leader. He is everything you would want in a neighbor, friend, coach and certainly a school board member. He is a person of strong values, character, courage, honesty and grit. I trust his judgment and his ability to represent the needs of our families in this wonderful village. A vote for Bill O’Donahue is a vote you’ll be proud you made. Joe Griffith

Once he sets his mind to a task he sees it through and makes sure it has the best possible outcome for everyone. He is selfless because he takes on challenges and completes them seamlessly without needing recognition. He has integrity and will always fight for what is best for the students in this district. He has over 20 years experience working with middle school students and now he works with primary students. He always been there to listen or help them even if it was after school hours. His interaction with parents is always respectful and he makes sure they are heard. My dad always quotes from the movie Rocky Balboa . One things he always says is important when creating relationships with people is this, “You can’t learn when you’re talking. That’s a fact of life. As long as you’re talking, you’re not listening.” He will listen to the residents to make sure their concerns are addressed and solutions are provided and meet their needs. He will listen because he cares deeply and he really wants to hear what they have to say . He wants to hear what concerns they have or concerns they have about their children because he believes things can always be better. He will always offer solutions that he as parent would be happy with. If he says he is going to do something he does it, he is a man of his word. Artie Gnecco is a true leader and

an all around amazing father. He will be nothing but an asset to the Garden City School District. Ava Gnecco (grade 9) Angelina Gnecco ( grade 7)

Local control, parent input

To the Editor: My name is Joanne McNaboe and I am one of the original leaders of the Garden City Parents United group. I never intended to be an advocate lobbying the school board and state for that matter. I was used to being the PTA volunteer, class mom, costume-maker for the fifth grade play, etc. I was born and raised in Garden City and my children are third generation as my father was also born and raised here. Then Covid hit and I knew how it was being handled with our children and schools was wrong. Garden City Parents United formed from a group of parents who literally stumbled upon one another because we knew the best thing for our children was full time in person school. Our fight has always been about normalcy for the children. Other states saw this early on and their students thrived and were no worse off with covid numbers. The opposition wants you to believe we are a small group. This is untrue. We have 1,000 members just on Facebook and the offline presence is even greater. Perhaps if the school board had conducted any of the surveys we requested they would have a better idea of where the parents stood on issues. But yet, they refused for two years. The group’s mission is to keep school normal but also to allow for local control and parent input into their child’s education. Common sense curriculum meaning a back-to-basics approach focusing on the key subjects. The opponents of this would lead you to believe that GCPU is the one that has a political agenda. It is quite the opposite. We are fighting to REMOVE politics. Through my advocacy for the past two years, one truth became glaringly clear was that politics and political agendas have seeped into the school districts in Garden City and across the country. Look at the union newsletters that tell all the teachers who to vote for. Take a look at what political parties support the unions and vice versa. Just take a look at the political hot buttons and how they are seeping into our schools-topics that don’t belong in the schools. Our children are being used as pawns in a political game--Our group wants politics REMOVED from school. If the topic is controversial – whether an agenda for the left or right- it doesn’t belong in schools! The opposition would have you believe GCPU is a group of right wing extremists. This is also untrue. We have democrats, republicans, libertarians, moderates, and apolitical peoSee page 52

DISCOVER THE FINEST IN SENIOR LIVING

Friday, May 13, 2022 The Garden City News

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Email: Editor@GCNews.com From page 50 ple in this group. There have been accusations hurled towards me, my family and the hard-working dedicated parents of this advocacy group. Now I am seeing these same accusations hit the three candidates that I and the Garden City Parents United group support: Arthur Gnecco, William O’Donohue and Joseph Sileo. Not one of the accusers has bothered to sit in on a meet and greet, zoom, or reached out to really see what the candidates believe. I actually think if they heard these candidates speak and what they stand for and how vested they are in the district they might actually vote for them. The opposition makes libelous claims that are worthy of a lawsuit. One opponent has claimed that our group has joined forces with Long Island BOE Patriot Takeover. I can tell you with certainty, I have no idea what this accuser is talking about. I and GCPU haven’t joined forces with anyone. The three candidates, who are POA candidates, have not joined forces with any Patriot Takeover. However, there is a rising across America to get politics OUT of the School Boards and Gnecco, O’Donohue and Sileo are the candidates who will NOT bring in pol-

itics. Politics and schools are a bad combination and these three candidates believe that as well. There are other claims that are just untrue. Our group and the candidates have never claimed nor do they plan to ever defy State Mandates. Our opposition wants you to believe these candidates will defy mandates and make our district lose funding. That is patently UNTRUE! What we demanded of our Board of Education the past two years and never got was advocacy. We asked the Board to join with other Board members across the state to fight for local control. And when the Board actually had local control back in August 2021, they voted to keep our children masked (except Mr. Pinou). But, this goes beyond the mask issue. Mask mandates were one symptom of a much bigger issue in education in our state and across the country. What we will continue to ask of the Board of Education is advocacy for what is best for the students. The opposition claims they were harassed and bullied. I can honestly say that I and my children have been targets of extreme vitriol by the “Pro Mask” and “Social Justice” group. I realize it’s part of the package when you are a fierce advocate on controversial

topics. I feel my children should have been off limits but the opposition sees them as fair game. I would like the opposition to give exact examples of harassment and bullying that are being claimed. Let’s be clear- advocacy is not harassment or bullying. It is completely appropriate to ask Board Members to hold themselves accountable for their actions as representatives of this district -- whether a ”hot mic” moment at a board meeting against a parent and child, or the constant mocking of and laughing at community members while speaking at board meetings, or inappropriate social media postings bordering on lewd and offensive, limiting of free speech and violations of open meeting laws and on and on and on. It is perfectly acceptable to be frustrated at the lack of communication from the Board. In two years I can honestly say I felt that no one, except Mr. Pinou, on the board listened at all or cared to listen to the concerns of the community members who didn’t align with their beliefs. It is perfectly acceptable to be fed up when for two years we asked for surveys of the parents in the district and were denied. Rest assured GCPU is not a small group as the opposition would have you believe. The issues went beyond Covid proto-

cols, to issues with Board policies and curriculum issues which were brought up meeting after meeting. One community member challenged and pressed the board on their lack of policy updates which led to a lack of curriculum guidelines. This was all under the watch of Holub and Foley. Board policies that should have been updated years and years ago still are not updated. Curriculum issues abound. We have a recent conflict of interest discovered last night where a sitting board member hired a consultant company where he is employed and Mr. Holub had no answers. They need to be held accountable and we need Board Members who will fix this negligence. There are also accusations being made that Parents United is against teaching accurate history. Another example of a board member who has not listened to the community members. Firstly, the report on Critical Race Theory in our schools is not in any way associated with Parents United. That was one gentleman who requested the FOIL and created the report and shared it with the district and residents. Not one person I know does not want history taught, the good, bad and ugly. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t want an inclusive environment. However,

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Email: Editor@GCNews.com many parents in this town do not want children taught that their worth or value has anything to do with their skin color or sex-whether painting them as oppressors/dominants or submissives / oppressed. Girls are in that category and I would never teach my daughters they are victims. And if the Board Members listened at that meeting (and I urge all of you to go listen to that board meeting), not one parent who spoke was against teaching history or against inclusiveness. They were FOR those things. These are flat out lies. I am voting based on my own personal experiences over the past two years. Mr. Holub I found to be very dismissive of the residents. He would take opportunities where he could to silence those in the GCPU group. Additionally, the Western nominating committee was made up of varied residents with a wide range of political and educational views. We all came to the same conclusion and Mr. Holub received zero votes. There is a reason for that. We thank him for his service and volunteering but it’s time for someone else. I also feel very strongly that Board members should have students in the school. Their decisions then directly impact them. I feel Mr. Holub and Mrs. Foley are out of touch both having

Changing absentee votes

To the Editor: I want to make voters aware of an important fact about how votes will be counted in the upcoming Board of Education election. Absentee ballots are processed after the polls close. If someone submitted an absentee ballot and then also votes in-person, then the absentee ballot will not be opened. The in-person vote overrides the absentee

vote. If you have submitted or plan to submit an absentee ballot to someone harvesting ballots (either in the past few weeks or over the next few days) and want to change your vote, you can still show up to Garden City High School on May 17th from 6am to 9pm and vote IN-PERSON. Your in-person vote will be the vote that counts. Perhaps a friend or neighbor came to your door and you did not feel comfortable saying “no” to their ballot harvesting effort. Perhaps a stranger (never trust strangers) told you things that you now realize are not true about the candidates. You have an opportunity to change your mind by voting IN-PERSON on May 17th. Some have tried to make the Board of Education election a CAP vs. FABGC election. It is not. It is about what is best for our children and village. I encourage anyone who feels they were pressured into submitting an absentee ballot to independently research the candidates and carefully consider whether they want to change their mind by voting IN-PERSON on May 17th. Peter M. Manley

St. Paul’s Update

To the Editor: The Mayor has formed a hand picked

“Committee on St. Paul’s”. Their assignment was to answer the following questions: Why should we save St. Paul’s? What is involved in accomplishing that objective? What will it cost? How will it be paid for? The final objective was to prepare a two question choice for a Village referendum.. The Committee has been meeting for several months, has not given out any information, and appears to be several months away from issuing a report. These questions appeared in a paid advertisement in the Garden City News. Why did the Mayor run this ad? The Mayor, without any approval of the Board decided that he would run a series of ads relating to St. Paul’s. There were four pages of ads published last month, as part of a purchase order for $5,600. This purchase order was never discussed at any Board meeting and the Trustees were quite surprised when I reported these ads at last weeks meeting. There was also a new agenda item presented at this meeting. The Mayor was requesting $18,500 for his Committee to spend on printing, postSee page 54

grown children. The three candidates I support, Gnecco, O’Donohue, and Sileo all have children in the schools. What bothers me most is that people are making assumptions about the three candidates Gnecco, Sileo, and O’Donohue without ever speaking with them. None of the three are running under the GCPU slate. They are running independently but are supported by many in the GCPU group because their principles and outlook on education align closely with mine and many others. I have been a part of the Garden City education system for 50 years. If we count in my father, make that 70 years. We are good but we can do better here.

I expect more detailed info to be presented at the next Trustees meeting. Hopefully they will not approve it. The Mayor has already spent Village funds (not approved by the BOT) on an advertising campaign and is now asking for funds to campaign even before the Committee has issued their report. Why do we need a campaign? Just give us the two choices to vote on. We all know the Mayor’s feelings about St. Paul’s and it appears he is trying to promote his own agenda. Robert Wolff

Need to reach all residents

To the Editor: I’d like to address the questions, raised recently, about why the Mayor’s Committee is recommending having professional help to communicate via social media with the village residents about the reports, ideas and other information being generated. It’s simple. We want to be sure ALL the residents know the facts that are coming from the committee, so they can make an informed decision either pro

or con. And those residents also will be asked, via professional research and at forums, what they think. Under the premise of “you get what you pay for”, this is an important and emotional subject - one that many millions of dollars will be invested in (for adaptive reuse) or spent on (to demolish). Having loving hands at home throw some posts onto the GC Residents and GC Moms and Dads Facebook pages would not even begin to do the proper and necessary job of reaching all the residents with the facts, ideas, etc., the members of the Mayor’s Committee are working hard to assemble (resident experts themselves; volunteers all). The only way to make an informed decision is to inform everyone about everything - that’s why roughly 5000 people showed up for the last vote about the building and 75% voted to NOT tear it down. Francine Ryan Member, The Mayor’s Committee On St. Paul’s and The Garden City Historical Society Board of Directors

Appeal for democracy, fairness

To the Editor: At the May 5th Board of Trustees meeting it was revealed that Mayor Veneziale authorized (in mid April) a $5,600 expenditure of Village funds to finance a plan for eight two-page ads in the GCNews. The Board is considering an additional spending of $18,500 for a total of $24,100 for a “social media campaign,” advocating for the development of St. Paul’s. The first ad showed the history and the former attractive condition of the St. Paul’s main building. The ad praised the building as historically significant, architecturally beautiful. A rare gem. Nothing like it anywhere. The ad was placed by the Mayor’s Committee on St. Paul’s with probable input from the GC Historical Society. (The first ad appeared as a full twopage spread in the April 29th GCN.) A grossly misleading statement in the ad compared the renovation of St. Paul’s to the conversion of a NY State hospital, in Buffalo, into a hotel. That project is NOT comparable to St. Paul’s for a variety of reasons. The Buffalo project, among other factors, 1) does not involve Parkland, which by law prevents St. Paul’s redevelopment from doing anything that is not Parkland. And 2) the Buffalo project was financed with government funds. St. Paul’s will mostly

ORDER EARLY TO BE COOL ALL SUMMER! Many Styles & Colors To Choose From

be financed using G.C. residents’ taxes. The Mayor said the ads are not advertising, but intended to “provide information” to residents about the history and importance of the building -- in my view, to influence the Villagewide referendum scheduled (approximately) for November. By the way, it is not clear to me what the difference is between advertising and information. A quite surprising disclosure at the Board meeting was that the Mayor granted the $5,600 without telling any other Trustees. Some Trustees were bothered by this omission. All of this adds up to an undemocratic and unfair situation. And residents should be outraged. For example, will those against preserving the building be given equal time, i. e., to speak publicly and/or be given their own funds to argue for demolition? The Mayor vaguely promised (on May 5th) to provide a forum for the opposition to present their case. And, importantly, the entire Board must vote on this matter before it goes any further. The bottom line: I believe that eight elaborate ads are NOT just informational; they ARE at a minimum somewhat propaganda and brainwashing! It is one-dimensional. In a democracy all viewpoints need to be heard. See page 56

those unsightly wooden poles remain? It seems to me, with those giant steel poles already installed, is there really a need for the wooden ones? And between you and me, did we really need a third rail? Just asking! All the construction that has been going on for several years at the Merillon Avenue RR Station including the so called widening and lowering of Nassau Blvd under the LIRR trestle, I would like to know who that person was who designed that debacle! Between the morning and evening hours, traffic up and down Nassau Blvd. under that trestle, is backed up to Jericho Turnpike and down to Somerset Ave. Maybe it could have been designed to at least accommodate two cars in each lane? Again, just asking! Claire Comas

In effect, the Mayor and Village are taking sides, and financing the pro-development argument -- which is likely derived from the St. Paul’s sub-committee charged with finding a use for the building. It is chaired by Frank McDonough. The $18,500 will likely be on the agenda--spelled out--and voted at the May 19th Board meeting. In the absence of equal time, the Board should consider cancelling the remaining seven scheduled ads, and any authorized, unused, funds denied. George M. Salem

The Garden City PTA is thrilled to announce Homestead first grader Giulianna Botti has received the 2022 National PTA Reflections Award of Merit for her original music composition, “There’s So Much You Can Do.” Giulianna will be recognized for her accomplishment at the upcoming Nassau Region PTA Spring Conference Dinner. During the 6 month evaluation process, Giulianna was judged on the following criteria: • Interpretation: How closely the piece relates to the theme of “I Will Change the World By…” • Creativity: How creative and original the piece is in its conception of the theme and its presentation. • Technique: The level of skill demonstrated in the basic principles/ techniques of the arts From among the tens of thousands of entries nationwide, just over 200 student Reflections participants received awards from National PTA. We are so proud of our star student! Ms. Botti performed her song at the District-wide Reflections celebration in April, with the help of some talented back-up singers (students Bressana Botti, Olivia Mastaglio, Ava Bedell and Eliza Conlon). A video of her performance can be seen on our website at gardencitypta.org/reflections

The A.T. Stewart Exchange Consignment Shop

Purchase your tickets to the "Potted Greens" raffle at the A.T. Stewart Consignment Shop. BY MELISSA JAEGER Even though it’s Friday the 13th, I promise not to go to dark and scary places. (LOL) Rather, I want to tell you about a Courtyard Sale that we have planned for Saturday, June 18th! Get a

head-start on your Christmas shopping. Yes, I said Christmas. Believe it or not, it is just seven months away. The Courtyard Sale will take place, where else, but on the patio outside the Exchange from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. In addition to Christmas items at great prices, we will have a variety of glass, china, linens, furniture and lots of other items. As always, the Shop will be open with our great merchandise. And leading up to this event, we will have a raffle – “Potted Greens.” Purchase your tickets (in the Shop) for a chance to win $100! We will also be having a Food Drive to benefit The INN, commencing May 16th and running through to June 17th. I thought it would be nice to have a Food Drive not centered around the holidays (though this is occurring during our Christmas Courtyard Sale), to focus on the fact that people need help ALL YEAR. So please, check your pantries, or hit the grocery store, and bring in non-perishable items. Those who donate food items will receive 10% off their Shop purchase on that day only. Remember: we’re here for you six (6) days a week. We are open on Mondays!! And, for those of you who work, we are still open late on Wednesdays until 6:00 p.m. It’s a great chance to shop

in peace and quiet. We get newly consigned merchandise almost every day! And we sell new merchandise – especially gift items – bought through the NY Gift Show. Therefore, I prefer to think of our shop as a Gift and Resale Shop. If you can’t make it in right away, please shop online at www.atstewartexchange.org and pick up your purchases at the Exchange. We also post photos on the AT Stewart Exchange Facebook and Instagram pages. When you do come into the Shop, please follow our established sanitizing protocols and social distancing rules to keep everyone safe. Even though all the volunteers have been vaccinated, you will see that many of us continue to wear our masks. We offer hand-sanitizer when you enter the shop, and, to keep you feeling safe, we are running the air purifier which cleans the air in the Shop every hour. Unfamiliar with the Exchange Consignment Shop? We are housed in The Garden City Historical Society (TGCHS) Museum on 109 Eleventh Street (in the basement of the building). All the proceeds from the Shop sales directly benefit TGCHS. In addition to our best sellers – jewelry (costume and fine), lamps, mirrors, and crystal (Waterford, Baccarat, Tiffany) -- we

take/accept silver, pocketbooks, china, furniture, artwork, and collectibles. All items are in new or nearly new condition. We accept consignments Wednesday through Friday, 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. by appointment ONLY. This is done to safeguard customers, consignors and volunteers. Having appointments helps to keep down the numbers of people in the Shop and reduces wait-times to consign. Please call (516) 746-8900 to set up an appointment. Unsure if your items are appropriate to consign? Email photos to store@ atstewartexchange.org and be sure to include sizing info. You will generally receive a response the same day. Remember: all the profits from the Consignment Shop support the maintenance and upkeep of TGCHS Museum. Thanks to your generous support, work on the outside of the Museum continues. The shop is located at 109 Eleventh Street. Shop Hours: Mon - Fri: 10–4 p.m., Wed: 10–6 p.m., Sat: Noon–4 p.m. For more information, please call (516) 746-8900.

Marie Louise Kehoe

Marie Louise Kehoe (Mayr) , 83, long time Garden City resident, passed away May 5 from cancer. Daughter of German immigrants, Marie spent her childhood in the Yorkville neighborhood of Manhattan, where she later attended St. Jean’s High School. She remained extremely close with several of her classmates throughout her life, referring to many of them as her “sisters”. Marie played the zither as a young adult and even performed on TV, and was an active member of the Catholic Kolping Society. After high school, Marie attended Katherine Gibbs Secretarial school. She met her (late) husband, John, while working as an ice cream parlor. Once married, John and Marie lived first in the Bronx, and then Laurelton, Queens. They moved to Garden City in 1969 where they grew their family. Marie worked as an executive secretary for many years at Newsday and enjoyed it very much,

maintaining deep friendships with her colleagues for years after her retirement. he was very proud and active in her German heritage as well as her Irish heritage by marriage. Marie enjoyed camping with family, dinners with friends, reminiscing, the Garden City pool, Elvis music, reading, travel, and her daily 4pm glass of wine. Dancing the Lindy with John was always a highlight for her and they often garnered applause for their dancing. Marie is survived by her three children and their spouses: John and Teresa Kehoe of Montvale, NJ, Katherine and Bill Hall of Garden City, and Michael and Beth Kehoe of Mineola. One of her proudest accomplishments was being the doting grandmother to five grandchildren including 2 sets of twins, Julia and Delaney Hall, Aidan and Molly Kehoe , and Caroline Kehoe. While Marie was an only child, she has several cousins, nieces and nephews whom she loved deeply.

Have you lost someone?

To know Marie is to have laughed with or to have shared a kind word, whether a family member, close friend or stranger. Those around her were drawn to her infectious and ebullient personality of humor and kindness. Even when injured or ill, Marie was never angry, or depressed – she could find the silver lining to keep pushing forward in any situation. She was one of a select few who could actually rise to meet challenges with a smile. She was a bright spark in this world and will be deeply missed. A memorial service will be held at a Fairchilds Thursday, June 2, 4-8pm and Friday, June 3 10 am-1 pm. It is a mask optional event. The family thanks friends, extended family, NYU Langone, The Bristal @ Garden City, and Northwell Hospice for all the support, guidance, care, and love. In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to a cancer charity of your choice.

Conversations with the Candidates Colleen Foley

From page 9 my knowledge and understanding of our school system grew. Because of my belief that all children deserve quality educational programs, along with my volunteer experience, I sought a seat on the Garden City Board of Education. I served the community for 12 years as a Trustee, Vice President, and President of the Garden City Board of Education. Continuing the commitment to my community, I had the privilege to serve as a Village Trustee for four years. During my time on the Village Board, I served three years as the Library Liaison. Working with the dedicated members of the Library Board, together we planned and developed the current

proposed library renovation. I am a Registered Nurse for 43 years; 20 of those years have been as a school nurse. I am one of approximately 90 school nurses currently in the state of New York that hold a national certification in the specialty of school nursing, and one of the 292 nurses in NYS certified as a national asthma educator. With this level of expertise, I have had the privilege of caring for children and their families to make school a safe place and a positive experience. Every child should have the opportunity to be safe, healthy, and ready to learn in school. With my volunteer, professional, and trustee experience, I know what it takes to achieve consensus on a board, listen

and communicate with all stakeholders, set goals and evaluate measurable outcomes for our schools. I know what is expected, what is required and what it takes to maintain the status and national recognition of the Garden City School District. I can do this job because I have done this job. Q: Why are you interested in becoming a Garden City Board of Education Member? I am passionate about children and their education. Schools should be dynamic, exciting places. It should not be a battleground that divides our community, holds us captive to the loudest

people in the room or prevents a resident from coming to the microphone for fear of being bullied. I know how to facilitate meaningful discussions with opposing viewpoints and build consensus among a group so that, in the end, good decisions are made. I understand the time and work ethic it takes to be a trustee and part of a board that is committed to continuous improvement and excellence. I served on the BOE that managed through hurricane Sandy and oversaw two 30-plus-million-dollar construction projects, bringing extensive improvements to all buildings addressing safety, enrollment and curriculum needs. Both projects were completed on time

Billy O’Donohue From page 9 especially helpful in preparing you to serve as a member of the school board? As a supervisor for 18 years in the NYPD, I have been held accountable not only for my performance and actions, but for the performance and actions of those under my supervision. Our Board of Education needs to be held accountable to the parents and taxpayers of our community. Although I am a volunteer, I work for you and expect to be held accountable by you. My experience with the New York City budget process and the State and Federal Grant process in

the NYPD has prepared me to be a budget “watchdog,” as I like to call it, for the School District’s budgeting of your tax dollars. Q: Why are you interested in becoming a Garden City Board of Education member? Now that my coaching days are over, I wanted to find a place where I can continue to serve the children and families of our community. Q: In your opinion, what’s been missing from the board? I think the Board is missing someone who will listen, not just hear, really lis-

ten. No problem, no matter how big or small, can be solved if one party is not listening. I am a trained investigator who knows listening to someone leads to more information than questioning them. I often hear parents speak at BOE meetings discussing problems they brought up at prior meetings. Who is really listening? Q: What do you see as the greatest challenge facing this school system right now? The greatest challenge we face now is the District’s ability to maintain our current standards of excellence in education, our extracurricular activities,

improving special education services, maintaining our facilities and keeping our excellent teachers in District, all while keeping taxes at an affordable rate so parents don’t need a third job and our senior citizens can remain in the Village they’ve called home for so long. With the current state of the economy, how long is it before State and Federal aid dries up? I believe we need to make sure our budget starts, not ends, in the classroom where the two most important members of the School District meet every day, our students and our teachers. We also need to look outside the box when it comes to finances. There was much debate about the $750,000 Greenhouse and its necessity. The Long

William Holub From page 9 Committee. I have been responsible for managing the finances of companies for over 25 years. While part of my professional career was in public accounting, I also understand the importance of segregation of duties and good internal controls. Over the last 20 years, I have been involved with managing organizations and have a track record in helping drive strategies and business while making sure people are held accountable. I also understand that no one person can do or know everything, so it is important that management team selection is properly done along with involving stakeholders in important strategic decisions.

Q: Why are you interested in becoming a Garden City Board of Education member? I enjoy volunteering and giving back to the community that has given so much to me and my family. I find tremendous joy in serving the children of this community. I would like to ensure that your children have the resources and education necessary to enable them to follow their passions and dreams and start their young adult lives with the best foundation possible. I have enjoyed serving this community for the last seven years, and I hope to continue to do so.

missing from the board? I am proud of the work that the Board of Education has done. My concerns are mostly about the future—especially in light of the three vacant seats in this election which will allow for majority control of the Board potentially by individuals without experience and in need of significant mentoring. One of the reasons that our District has been so successful thus far has been because of the stability of our leadership. The Board has been careful to train our newest trustees and has been fortunate to attract experienced leaders with diverse backgrounds and skill sets to serve the community.

Q: In your opinion, what’s been

Q: What do you see as the greatest

challenge facing this school system right now? As we finally come out of this pandemic, we need to refocus on our childrens’ education and educational experiences in our District. We also need to heal as a community and as a District from the disruptions of the pandemic. Much of this work is already underway as we have already implemented a plan to assess all of the children in the District. We need to be proactive about identifying any additional resources that they may need as a result of the pandemic. This assessment process will require the parents and teachers to review data on their children and work toward a common plan. I have encour-

Colleen Foley

and on budget while utilizing resident expertise. I believe not only in parent involvement, but also in stakeholder involvement. Our community members are rich with experience that can benefit the school district. As a trustee, I welcomed those contributions of expertise and am thankful to this day for that valuable help from the community. I believe I will bring passion, enthusiasm, experience, and vision. As a former trustee I will hit the ground running and will make a difference. Q: In your opinion, what’s been missing from the Board?

Garden City, like all other school districts, is coming out of the constraints of the last two years. We, as a district, need to be proactive in assessing the current needs of children, identifying future educational needs, and reviewing infrastructure requirements. This level of assessment should be publicly reported and vetted in open discussions. Parents, and any other community stakeholder, should feel safe and uninhibited to come to the microphone and ask a question. The Board, with the support of the educational staff, should be ready to address those questions. When controversial or emotional issues are being discussed, trustees and community members have an obliga-

tion to keep the conversation civil and respectful. I believe that each and every one of us, regardless of whether we agree or disagree vehemently, should act as a role model of civil discourse for our students. I would like to introduce more parental involvement on issues and committees. Our community is rich with expertise and skills that would assist the Board as it moves the school district forward. I have experienced this first hand with successful end results. Q: What do you see the greatest challenges facing this school system right now? Garden City School District is a

nationally ranked, successful school district. The challenge is to continue to grow within the current environment and circumstances surrounding the District. We need to maintain our educational autonomy while continuing to provide meaningful programs. That is done with a consistent and data driven evaluation process of everything we do. We need to know what areas to grow or change, what areas are achieving the results we want and what financial support is necessary to sustain continuous improvement. This evaluation ranges from an existing program review, to planning for remote/in-person learning for possible future implementation, to See page 68

Billy O’Donohue Beach School District’s Greenhouse was paid for entirely by donations and fundraising by their community. With so many generous residents and businesses in Garden City, why can’t we think outside the box when it comes to financing projects like Long Beach and many other local School Districts? Q: If a mask mandate were to be reinstated tomorrow, what would your stance be on parent choice? I think people get confused with parent choice as it relates to mask mandates. If there is a New York State school mask mandate, there is no parent choice – masks will be required in Garden City Schools – period. As

noted earlier, I am a retired 21-year NYPD Lieutenant and have a “law and order” first mentality. I am the guy who drives under 30 MPH in Garden City, much to the dismay of my kids sometimes. So there is no confusion or misinformation out there, as a Board of Education Trustee I will enforce and follow, including my own kids, any New York State school mask mandate, or any New York State mandate for that matter, to the letter of the law. That being said, should parents of our community request the Board to professionally and respectfully advocate the State for changes to a school mask mandate, I will certainly lead the charge should the local data at the time in our schools and Nassau County indicate that changes

to a school mask mandate – which can only come from the State – can me made safely and effectively. Unfortunately, most of our current Board of Education refused to do this. Q: What do you see as the Board’s role vs. the administration’s role in running the school System? The Board’s role should be providing guidance to the Administration as to the wants and needs of parents and taxpayers from our community and to provide oversight and accountability to the budget and curriculum process. Our Administration’s role is to ensure the State’s education requirements are adhered to and to work with the Board

to determine how they can effectively carry out those requirements within our budget along with the wants and needs of our community. Q: How do/would you as a board member work with the superintendent and other board members when there are differing opinions on needed actions? I truly believe diversity in opinion leads to better ideas and solutions overall. I also believe there is much common ground not only in our community, but with the Board members and the Administration. As a Trustee on the See page 68

William Holub aged the District to prepare and share the data as quickly as possible. The pandemic impacted the entire world, but we have the resources, teachers, administrators, staff, and leadership to move forward even stronger. Q: If a mask mandate were to be reinstated tomorrow, what would your stance be on parent choice? I personally do not enjoy wearing a mask, but I have done so with a focus on the larger community including my family, friends, neighbors, co-workers and others that I may come into contact with. It must also be noted that mandates and requirements have been a part of the education community for

a very long time. Many people do not think a mandate is a law, but unfortunately a mandate is a law and as a Board member you take an oath to uphold the laws of New York State. If there was another mask mandate issued and I was on the Board of Education, I would follow the law, but I would demand more clear guidance on implementation and encourage local involvement. This is consistent with the letters that were sent by the Board to State officials. I understand the importance of parental choice and if there are options provided within the mandate, those will be followed. I would also try to establish monthly calls with our locally elected officials to discuss the mandates and our community’s feelings on them.

Q: What do you see as the Board’s role vs. the administration’s role in running the school system? The Board is elected by the community and is there to oversee the District. The responsibilities of the Board’s include: 1) establishing policies to accomplish the District’s stated mission and govern District operations and ensure these policies are being followed; 2) supporting and evaluating the Superintendent based on agreed-upon performance goals; 3) ensuring appropriate resources (financial, facilities, human) to achieve District goals and acting as stewards of community assets by providing fiscal oversight to assure

effective management of those resources; 4) ensuring legal and ethical integrity and ensuring accountability for all personnel and operations; 5) providing support and orientation for new board members and ongoing board development via annual board retreats and mandated training; and 6) supporting a healthy school district culture for work and learning with clear guidelines for honest and respectful communication with community stakeholders. The Administration is responsible for 1) implementing policies; 2) day-today management; 3) utilizing resources to achieve District goals; 4) recommending hirings and firings; 5) managing and See page 68

From page 67 the presentation of new and stimulating programs. Q: If a mask mandate were to be reinstated tomorrow, what would your stance be on parent choice? The COVID 19 mandates from the NYS Department of Education and the NYS Department of Health were controversial in both reach and implementation. Despite this, Boards of Education are municipalities of the State and Board of Education Trustees are officers of the State of New York sworn to uphold NYS laws, regulations and orders, as well as those of the federal government. I do believe the best decisions for the school district are made by the board and residents of the school district. We

know our students, what works for us and what we want for our children. Maintaining local control is a paramount issue for any issue we face. I do not believe in anarchy or deliberately disregarding public safety measures. I have worked and would work with other school districts, elected officials, professional groups, and the local health department for what is right for the constituent group I represent. So, if a mask mandate were reinstated tomorrow, I would fight for what is right for Garden City and the safety of our school district. Q: What do you see as the Board’s role vs. the administration’s role in running the school system? How do/ would you as a board member work with the superintendent and other board members when there are dif-

fering opinions on needed actions? As a Trustee, you are not just a supporter or team player of the district, you hold a governance obligation. That obligation is to ensure resources are dedicated and used in furtherance of the District’s mission. As a Trustee you serve on a board where collective decision making is required to move forward and every trustee needs to be informed and contribute to the goal of consensus. A Board has a role of governance with fiscal accountability. What does that mean? It means that the vision and goals of the school district are implemented while making sure that funds are responsibly spent and staff are held accountable for the outcome. The administration’s role is to manage the daily operations to achieve the vision of the District. My life experi-

ence as parent, resident, nurse, and former board member on multiple boards has taught me to listen, change course if needed, work with people and come to a decision. Q: Public participation is important to the Garden City community. How do/will you incorporate the feedback they provide at each meeting? I believe if a resident took the time to attend a meeting and ask a question, that question should be answered. Our administrative staff needs to be well versed in the issues being addressed and discussed and prepared to provide answers immediately or at least commit to providing an answer by a certain date See page 76

Billy O’Donohue From page 67 Board of Education I would take those thoughts into every meeting I attend. Q: Public participation is important to the Garden City community. How do/will you incorporate the feedback they provide at each meeting? Unfortunately, in the past, the cur-

rent Board has limited the number of speakers and required those who wanted to speak to take a number. I have witnessed this first-hand. If I am elected as Trustee to the Board of Education, you will never have to take a number to speak and I will never limit the number of speakers at a School Board meeting. I will stay until 2 AM if needed to hear any parent who needs to speak. I will also look to institute more surveys and questionnaires for the members of our

Community who are not comfortable speaking in public at these meetings or who work late, have kids sports, etc. and cannot make the meetings. The entire community should be a partner with our Board and Administration. Q: What positive change/impact do you believe you will bring to the Board in the coming months?

the Garden City Public School system and face many of the same issues I hear parents speak about at the school board meetings. I am going through these issues right now along-side of you. I believe my willingness to listen and my ability to connect with parents with school age children will allow me to better serve our District and our community as well.

I have young children currently in

William Holub From page 67 evaluating all staff; and 6) providing a healthy and safe environment for children and staff. Q: How do/would you as a board member work with the superintendent and other board members when there are differing opinions on needed actions? I have collaborated with all members of the Board (current and previous) for the last seven years on many difficult decisions. I believe in open discussions and listening to everyone’s views and opinions so that the best possible decision can be made for our District. I have always allowed all Board members to speak candidly and openly on all topics in both Executive Session and Public meetings and I would continue to do

so. I would also continue to support our Superintendent and continue to collaborate with her as I have been on meeting agendas and operational matters. I respect those that I serve and work with and I always strive to build consensus. Q: Public participation is important to the Garden City community. How do/will you incorporate the feedback they provide at each meeting? As a member of the Board, I consider every communication that we receive from the community – whether written or during the public comment session – when considering and discussing issues with my fellow Board members. The Public comment period during our public Board of Education meetings allows the Board to listen to concerns raised by the community on the specific topics

discussed at the meeting in real time. The Board also has a designated email address where anyone can communicate with us directly. The email address has been very helpful to us during these last two years, where we have received private feedback from parts of our community that are not comfortable speaking in the public sessions as they may be verbally attacked either in the meeting or on social media. All concerns raised by parents and community members are followed up by the District or the Superintendent on behalf of the Board. The concerns are always – and I would commit that they will continue to be – incorporated into the Board’s discussions and decisions because they are the views of the community. Q: What positive change/impact do you believe you will bring to the Board in the coming months?

I have served on the Board for seven years. The pandemic took a lot of time and energy as we were constantly addressing changing protocols and adapting to the changes that needed to be made within our buildings. During the pandemic, certain items weren’t able to be addressed because of lack of time and resources. Now that we are finally at the end of the pandemic, I look forward to getting back to focusing on educational priorities in the areas of curriculum, professional development, and instructional methods. The District also has not issued a bond in over ten years. I believe that an area of focus the Board should act upon are its facilities because it is important that educational spaces align with curriculum and instructional methods.

News from the Children’s Room New Overdrive Titles for Children

Village Trustee Lawrence N. Marciano, Jr. and Library Board Chairman J. Randolph Colahan with teen volunteers at the Bake Sale that coincided with the Friends’ semi-annual Book Sale April 30–May 1.

Spreading smiles at Stewart School

Stewart School students compiled Smile Bags using profits from their recent Pretzels with a Purpose fundraiser.

Peri-Peri GUYS owner & founder Hafeez Raja (left) accepts the Empire Award from State Senator Kevin Thomas. Photo courtesy Office of Senator Thomas A Garden City resident has won the New York State Empire Business Award in recognition of its contributions and dedication to the community and New York State. State Senator Kevin Thomas presented the founder of Peri-Peri GUYS restaurant in Delco Plaza, Hicksville, with the New York State Empire Award, which honors innovative local businesses that have made a significant impact on their communities. Founder Hafeez Raja, who hails from Glasgow, Scotland, established PeriPeri GUYS in 2020 with the goal of bringing one of his favorite hometown dishes to the US. The restaurant’s famous peri-peri sauce is made from African bird’s eye chili peppers which, while

wildly popular across South Africa and Europe, are uncommon here in the states. In addition to his passion for periperi, Hafeez says giving back to his community is his top priority. Peri-Peri GUYS generously donated food to community groups during the peak of the pandemic. The restaurant also participated in Long Island’s first-ever Halal Restaurant Week. Senator Kevin Thomas said, “PeriPeri GUYS is a unique and innovative local business that is dedicated to giving back. Per-Peri GUYS has truly made a difference in our Long Island community, and I was honored to present Hafeez with the Empire Award.”

Filling the Smile Bags. Students from Stewart School in Garden City are putting smiles on children’s faces, thanks to a recent “Pretzels with a Purpose” fundraiser. On April 13, the profits from Pretzels with a Purpose were used to purchase supplies for Smile Bags. Children from Mrs. Wills and Mrs. Scibelli’s classes worked with their peers to create bags full of goodies to donate to the NYU Langone Child Life

Program in Mineola. Students organized age-appropriate bags, filling them with toys, arts and crafts, puzzles and books. Thanks to the generosity of Stewart School families, students were able to create 62 Smile Bags for the hospital. Members of the Child Life team expressed their heartfelt appreciation upon receiving the donation. Photos courtesy of Garden City Public Schools

and time. Staff accountability is a key component for successful communication. With the increase in technology apps and programs communication can be improved. Surveys, messaging apps and principal forums are just a few. At the Board level, I would support having more time and a more open community comment period. I have seen with my experience that community members

want to be heard, not constrained and want the time to express their opinion. Q: What positive change/impact do you believe you will bring to the Board in the coming months? The focus of the District must turn back to the children and continue the mission of educating them. We must become known for building our District and not tearing the District apart over

issues that do not exist anymore. I have the experience to run a board meeting with diverse opinions and come to an outcome. I have the experience of holding staff accountable and presenting a public budget successfully to all stakeholders in our community. I can collaborate with colleagues with opposing views and navigate to a decision. I bring the perspective of a parent whose children went through the school system and now I bring the perspective of a res-

ident who values the school system and appreciates the impact on real estate values. The makeup of the board should reflect the community that supports it, and I am part of that community. I will end where I started – I know what is expected, what is required and what it takes to sustain and enhance a school district of Garden City’s caliber. I can do this job because I have done this job and love this community!

School budget goes to voters on May 17th

From page 1

Additional details and a breakdown of allocation fluctuations can be found on the Board of Education’s budget information page. What happens if the budget fails? One option is to hold a revote. Another is to modify the current proposal. The final option is to adopt a contingency budget, which for us would look like a reduction of $3,200,000 with no increase in the tax levy from the prior year. All capital projects, additional hires, and non-contingent items must be removed, which are to be determined by the Board if and once that time comes. This would impact personnel items, student supplies, capital projects, equipment, uniforms and more. All contractual obligations would need to remain in effect. Core education program items would not be touched. The four items that will be on the ballot on May 17, 2022 are the school district budget, permission to use the 2019 capital reserve, permission to establish a new capital reserve and the election of three board of education trustees. If the capital reserve funds get voted down, that money will not be used and the town will not establish a new one with no eligible revote until the following May.

FLES Program Review & Findings

The evening’s focus then shifted to the District’s review of its Foreign Language in the Elementary School (FLES) program. Dr. Sinha and team shared what review work was completed this year and their focus for the next school year and beyond. Highlights include a new mission, scope and sequence development, and deep dive into unit specifics that will continue into the summer. So, what is FLES and why does it matter? It’s an approach to language learning that allows students to develop basic communicative skills in a language while reinforcing and enriching content in other disciplines, especially social studies and math. Based on surveys and community feedback, the program is highly valued. The main focus of this District review was to look at the current program and measure its success, while identifying areas for improvement, and to enhance consistency between schools for equitable learning experiences that better prepare students for 6-12 world language courses. What the review determined is the need to continue to develop and update the curriculum and assessment processes, add new resources to support student learning and create more asynchronous learning enhancements through technology integrations. Additional findings include the necessity for the creation of more formal opportunities for collaboration between FLES teachers to share successes, challenges and ideas,

and instating additional opportunities for FLES teachers to join secondary World Language Department meetings to better understand the proficiency levels that the higher grades students will enter into require. As far as next steps, the District will revisit FLES to review frequency, consistency and continuity of the program, consider bringing FLES to earlier grades, review its 6th grade curriculum to ensure articulation, institute FLES family night and explore club opportunities. An exact timeline of this ongoing review process, a detailed breakdown of its focus areas, and additional program details are available in the deck from the night, posted on the District’s website. While a review of the Quest program was also on the agenda for the evening, committee work was not yet complete and will be brought to the Board at a later date. Dr. Sinha reminded attendees in-person and over Zoom that the Quest program for next year remains as is.

Questions from the Board

Trustee Tom Pinou asked “If I think about the present day Juniors and Seniors, they may not have taken FLES. Do we have that data that eight years ago they may have taken it and continued into middle and high school and maybe even taken two languages? It may predate all of you, but that I’d be curious about.” The team shared that of the middle and high school students surveyed about the program, 88% started taking Spanish in 4th grade and 68% of those students currently take Spanish. Pinou followed up with an additional question. “Should our budget not pass, is this one of the things that would be up for reconsideration programmatically?” Dr. Sinha confirmed that this is not part of the core program, so that would be a decision for the Board if and when that time comes. Stefanie Granville, Vice President of the Board, then asked, “I recognize this report will be on the District website. For parents who don’t spend time perusing that website, would it be possible at the beginning of 4th or 5th for the principals to include that link so that parents know the reason that we have this program and what the expected outcomes are. I really think it’s important for us to communicate with parents about why we have these programs and I think that’s a simple thing that costs nothing except a couple minutes.” She added, “Do all students participate in 4th and 5th grade in this program, including diverse learners?” The team confirmed that all students participate in the program. Granville’s final question of the night was, “Have you spoken to the secondary world language teachers, many of whom have been here for a long time, to

see if they’re seeing a difference and are better able to learn a second language because of this experience at a younger age?” Presenters shared that focus groups conducted with secondary world language teachers determined that foundational skills have been improving as a result. President Bill Holub added, “I’m a big proponent of the idea of always having coverage. Since we only have two FLES teachers, when one gets sick, what happens? What happens to the program if FLES teachers are out for a period of time?” The team stressed that this is why asynchronous learning is a priority focus area and a top learning from this review. “Both my daughters started in early grades,” he continued. “When I spoke to one of my daughters about how this was the topic of the night, she immediately commented on her positive experience, quite a number of years later. It does leave an impression, and that’s an incredibly important part of the programs we introduce in Garden City.”

Citizens Comments

Bill O’Donohue, who lives on Kensington Road and is a candidate running in next week’s election, came up to the mic first. “Last month, the school district announced we’d be ending our contract with GoMath as our math curriculum and professional development vendor with the intention of entering into a new agreement with Illustrative Mathematics for our math curriculum and Metamorphosis Teaching Learning Communities for our math professional development. At an earlier BOE meeting, there was a lengthy discussion about the vetting and procurement process. It became evident that a lot of effort went into the vetting process for curriculum, we reached out to other high performing school districts in the area, narrowed it down to two vendors and piloted them in the schools. I believe it was a nice job. I did not hear as much, however, about math professional development search, vetting and procurement process. I was surprised the Board didn’t ask any related questions – in fact little was said about the process at all. When I researched the Illustrative Math curriculum, I discovered they have a professional development arm. One would think pricing would be more competitive from the math curriculum company we’re already contracting.” “So, I dug a little deeper,” he continued. “Are you aware that Michael Cassaro, former member of this current Board lists educational consultant Metamorphosis Teaching and Learning Communities as recently as 2020 on his LinkedIn page available on the public domain? Has anyone on the board ever listed any affiliation with Metamorphosis on any financial disclosure forms when appointed to Board?

What extra steps did the Board take to ensure no conflict interests occur during the procurement process? Why wasnt that disclosed during the lengthy meeting held on the procurement process? We need transparency. I’ll leave you with a statement taken word for word from the school district’s procurement policy, ‘the goal of the Board to purchase competitively without prejudice or favoritism to seek maximum education value for every dollar we spend.’” Superintendent Dr. Sinha responded first. “Regarding Metamorphosis, I have known of them for a long time in terms of being the one of top mathematics consultants in terms of training. As far as what you just disclosed in terms of a relationship, when I came to this district I was already using it for training and leadership development. I don’t believe there is any Board member that is affiliated deeper than that, that wasn’t disclosed.” President Bill Holub added, “If any board member ever has a conflict, that member must recuse themselves from any related discussion or voting matters. Since no one disclosed anything or recused themselves, my expectation was that no one did have any conflict of interest.” “Was he in those discussions though?” O’Donohue added. “I’m not here to accuse. I’m investigative by nature and it just doesn’t look right. It’s tax money, we have to look at everything.” A parent from Whitehall Boulevard brought up a separate point. “Dr. Sinha, thank you for following up with your responses to my questions from the last Board meeting. But you copied pretty much everyone on the email but the Board. I asked the question at a Board meeting, instead of emailing, because I think the public has a right to hear both the question and response ... I copied the Board on my reply. I’d expect the Board to respond when you see the response from Dr. Sinha still did not answer my questions. The community should be provided with accurate answers, not just a private email conversation.” Holub responded by saying, “Dr Sinha did share her response and entire exchange with the Board so we did have a chance to read it. Typically, when questions from previous meetings come up, we comment publicly on District and Board related items publicly at the next public work session. That’s what we were preparing to do for next week.” There was a discrepancy over timing and whether her questions would be answered and shared publicly before the budget vote.” The next Board of Education meeting will be held at the Garden City High School on May 17 beginning at 8:15 p.m. The budget vote and election will be held on that same day from 6 am - 9 pm at the Garden City High School.

From page 1 about the property, its structure and possible options – with the criteria for determining the future of St. Paul’s outlined clearly. In the course of board discussion, Mayor Veneziale noted that a date for the community-wide referendum on St. Paul’s would likely be in November. He described a proposal for communications six months in advance of this timeline. “The program is to bring information to the public so we can get a process for having a referendum this year and finally the village can decide on what to do with St. Paul’s – this is a media campaign to get information out, with strategic target dates established,” he said. Trustees Charles Kelly and Mary Carter Flanagan wanted to discuss the costs of information supplied in The Garden City News, as no definitive positions were taken by the village trustees though Mayor Veneziale acknowledged, that the advertising in the newspaper is not free.

Cost of social media campaign

An item regarding allocating additional funds for a social media campaign which was on the board’s agenda for May 6th was removed by consensus of the board, as several trustees sought information on what would be associated with the $18,500 expense. The item proposed transferring funds within the budget, adding to the ‘Printing, Postage and Stationery’ account from the village’s ‘Contingent’ account, “for funds needed by the St. Paul’s Committee for a Social Media Campaign.” In April the Village issued a purchase order to the Garden City News for $5600 for sixteen pages of advertising to be run in coming months. Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi said this request came up from the committee for putting information into The Garden City News and for items that will be spread across other forms of public communication. He said he was not aware of the specific content at

this point. Trustee Carter Flanagan said instead of “advertising costs” for space in The Garden City News the village should be directly sending out information to the community. A discussion on the best modes to reach the most people in the village ensued, and a few trustees noted that not everyone is eager to go online and check out things that are posted on the village’s website, www. GardenCityNY.net. This point was debated as feedback from residents was cited as an important part of online and social media posts for spreading information on St. Paul’s. The mayor spoke about the proposed social media campaign after Trustee Carter Flanagan’s first few questions. He says the committee (which consists of several subcommittees) is going forward with its research in order to get the village to the stage of holding a referendum. “There are subcommittees and many pieces to the puzzle we need to come together to solve for St. Paul’s, in order to ensure that we come up with the right solution for the village. Collectively, the Committee felt that on social media they can reach a larger audience that way, and also get communication back from residents on social media rather than posting to the village’s website. They want this information to be widely spread. It is about trying to communicate with everyone, and the content in The Garden City News will probably be placed once a month until we get to the time for the village to have this vote (referendum) on this issue,” Veneziale said on May 6. Following a question from a resident who said he views the content the village places in the News “as propaganda in favor of keeping St. Paul’s,” Mayor Veneziale said that as an architect he has no stance. “I can’t say I want to keep St. Paul’s or that I want to destroy and demolish it – I can not have either attitude, I have to be unbiased, neutral and the same applies to Committee members. I am

trying to get the Committee to focus on putting the village in a position to vote on the matter. That is what I am trying to do,” the mayor explained. Carter Flanagan made note that the village’s Environmental Advisory Board does not have budgeted funds “let alone an $18,500 expense” to present the public with important information on the water supply, lead contamination in water and other such projects that Garden City is actively working on. She felt the number the St. Paul’s Committee has proposed “seems excessive.”

Mayor’s Column is free

Meadow Street resident and former president of the Eastern property owners’ association Steve Ilardi asked the board why the information that should reach residents would need to be in a separate section of the newspaper other than in the weekly Mayor’s Column, which he said can be at a length taking a few pages. The board noted that the Mayor’s Column appears with zero costs to the village each week. Trustee Charles Kelly said obviously the Village of Garden City will commit to making multiple attempts and efforts to put out information and notice to the community about a potential referendum on St. Paul’s future. “We will be taking care of that for sure, but the question remains why this would not be simply put on the village’s website with the proposal coming forth (for St. Paul’s future) and telling residents they will have the opportunity to consider it and weigh in with the referendum later this year,” he said. Mayor Veneziale said a reason for additional information placed in The Garden City News stems from the need to provide as many people access to the information as possible. He believes the village’s website can present layout issues at times for finding and downloading information – depending on the user’s abilities. Information found in a printed newspaper and its accompanying online content would not be the same challenge as the village website

can be for some individuals. Former 2022 candidate for village trustee Judy Courtney participated in the board meeting last Thursday over Zoom and asked if there was potential ahead for the public to sit-in on meetings of the St. Paul’s Committee – not to offer comments and make multiple more suggestions, but just to listen to their discussions and points of consideration. Mayor Veneziale responded that this has already been brought up, and the Committee will be planning some public presentations over the next few months and well in advance of a referendum – “when they have enough information to present.” At the May 6 meeting, Trustee Bruce Torino stated his position: “The more information the village gets out about St. Paul’s, in more and varied media, would promote the ability for Garden City’s residents to decide. That philosophy may be different than the specific allocation of funds to do it. While tonight the board may defer the actual dollar amount, the intent of getting more information should be supported.” Mayor Veneziale made clear that there will be a “tremendous amount of information” on St. Paul’s potential is still to be presented to the public. Trustee Carter Flanagan suggested that a newsletter directly to residents from the village could be the better alternative without the costs proposed being allocated as the St. Paul’s Committee had originally planned. “There has been no (Board of Trustees) discussion about this. We have Zoom meeting ability for public engagement, and that does not cost anything, and the village has Instagram and Twitter in addition to Facebook. And the specifics of each piece of communication should be going through the board of trustees before it is put out as an ‘advertisement.’ Do not get me wrong, I am all about sharing this important information with our community – it was the budget for it that I was taken aback by,” she said.

Plans move forward on Edgemere firehouse renovations From page 1 price and a good time frame,” Suozzi said. For the second consecutive meeting, Garden City Superintendent of Building Giuseppe Giovanniello provided the board and meeting audience with an update on the progress of work at Fire Station No. 2 (at the Stewart Avenue and Edgemere Road intersection). His comments to the Board of Trustees came prior to their vote to approve the contract with Old Structures Engineering.

Village Deputy Mayor Tom O’Brien asked Giovanniello if he’s satisfied with the progress of work at the site, and the building superintendent affirmed that he sees excellent attention to detail thus far. PAR Environmental Corporation completed the asbestos abatement of the building on April 20. “They are looking to break down their equipment tomorrow (May 6) and the contractor, Seaboard Weatherproofing & Restoration, will be on site Monday morning to continue with the interior

and exterior masonry work (including weatherproofing) that needs to be done. Everything is progressing well and they’re on-schedule – they are doing a great job. With Seaboard on-site again Monday, we can start moving towards Phase 2,” he said. Giovanniello provided another update to the board on St. Paul’s, as he did two weeks ago at the April 20 meeting. He planned a site visit for Friday afternoon, May 6, to review work taking place on the structure’s roofing.

“Seaboard is continuing on the flatwork area and the mansard roofs around the perimeter of the building and that seems to be progressing well and going accordingly. I will be going on the boom lift to check on what they have done so far, what’s complete to date as we will make sure it’s all accounted for,” Giovanniello said.

Village sets public hearing for Numbered Streets Traffic Study From page 3 Hilton, in front of Village Hall, Stewart Avenue is such a speedway. It’s treacherous with people crossing from CVS or the supermarket lots, and they don’t cross the road at the corner crosswalks. It’s a dangerous strip of road there and for it to be left out of the study is ridiculous,” Vassaloti said. Trustee Charles Kelly said Vassaloti raised an excellent point and the crosswalk in the middle of this stretch of Stewart Avenue represents “an invitation to disaster.” “Thank you for pointing out that omission as I have been so focused on 4th Street and 7th Street within the Numbered Streets Study, I did not focus on Stewart at all. It’s certainly like an ‘8th Street’ being Stewart right in front of Village Hall, and it’s obviously a problem street. It’s treacherous for pedestrians and has excessive speeding,” Kelly noted. Trustee Mary Carter Flanagan said this should be part of the next Board meeting’s agenda item and public hearing on the Numbered Streets’ study as Creighton Manning will outline what areas are included and what would be in another sectional study.

“This goes to the importance of our residents being involved early on in the process – when we go to review other sections. The Board and village needs to plan to get the word out to everybody in the village about this initiative, as our next steps include three other sections for traffic study. Aside from the (Numbered Streets) report having everyone’s interest in 7th Street examined it will be good for our community input for folks to participate and attend the May 19 Board meeting – in-person or via Zoom – as well,” she said. Deputy Mayor Tom O’Brien said going forward the study will expand through all of Garden City, “so we can look at that for another study.” Village Administrator Ralph V. Suozzi concurred with that logic, and he explained with this study up for the public hearing next Thursday, being appropriately named the “Numbered Streets Study” it was strategically aligned to follow the Cathedral Avenue Traffic Study and resulting Road Diet, for that particular Nassau County-owned road with County participation. “After the Cathedral Study we wanted to look at those VILLAGE-OWNED streets (Numbered Streets in the Central section) and those streets jumped out

to cover the amount due to a former Recreation and Parks’ employee who has left service to Garden City. The board also approved a transfer of funds, as requested by Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi, for $5,500 into the Central Data Processing - Materials and Supplies account. The funds are transferred from the “Preparation of Literature - Materials and Supplies” account, for the purchase of various IT components needed.

as a particular area. We did include the 7th Street business district into the Numbered Streets Study – as well as Hamilton and Cedar Place – because those are streets within the same vicinity in the village. The strip of Stewart Avenue Mr. Vassaloti is commenting on could be added to our future satellite studies of east-west streets, and the satellite study is the next study coming up before the Traffic Commission and ultimately the Board of Trustees – after this Numbered Streets Study is approved. But a lot of the conditions each study notes could apply to other areas of the village,” Suozzi said. Vassaloti commented that while the Numbered Streets Study indicates ideas for narrowing and buffering for those village-owned streets of the Central section, he believes a key issue for the Stewart Avenue stretch is that it narrows abruptly for people coming to it, headed past the Franklin intersection. “If anything, that stretch should be widened a little. You can feel too close to any car if you’re going across that roadway heading west (to Hilton) and there is that twist in the road – it seems very tight for four lanes of traffic,” he advised. Up next after the Numbered Streets

Study and public hearing on May 19, the satellite study is set to examine seven or more areas of Garden City. At the Traffic Commission meeting of May 5, 2022, which started one hour prior to the regular Board of Trustees’ meeting, Trustee Charles Kelly said the two studies already submitted to the village – the Cathedral Avenue Road Diet and the Numbered Streets Study – present relevant information and potential solutions for a number of requests submitted to the village for traffic measures like new stop signs and lower speed limits on village-owned roads, dating back a few years. As the Commission confirmed its next meeting for Thursday June 16 at 6:30 – Trustee Carter Flanagan said as the other traffic studies in the village are formalized and moving forward, more meetings for specific traffic agenda items would arise. The Commission has not met regularly during summer months, and as of now its schedule would have the Commission meet immediately before the Village Board meeting on Thursday, September 15 after its June 16 meeting. Any other future Traffic Commission meetings would be announced and posted on the village website.

Going Places: Post-pandemic Travelers Go In Search Of Wellness, Adventure, Engagement BY KAREN RUBIN TRAVEL FEATURES SYNDICATE GOINGPLACESFARANDNEAR.COM Wellness travel, a booming trend before the coronavirus pandemic, continues to grow with the increased focus on health, staying well and, after the experience with the coronavirus pandemic , the increased need for to be revitalized, restored, rejuvenated physically, emotionally, and mentally. Here are some highlights of wellness travel trends from the recent Global Wellness Summit (some that will surprise!) which is organized by the Global Wellness Institute:

Post-Pandemic Travelers Seek Adventure, Engagement

“Intention” is the theme for travel in 2022, New York Times travel columnist Elaine Glusac, reports. Social indicators such as the “Great Resignation,” record retirements and global nomadism reveal profound commitments to work/life balance and personal growth and happiness. And the travel industry is accommodating with new programs to intrigue and satisfy these ”intentional” travelers with the invitation: Seekers, welcome. “New travel experiences tap into a sense of purpose, a desire to grow creatively and intellectually and flourish in new environments. Nature as a healer and a source of awe remains primary, whether at a rooftop yoga class or trekking the forthcoming Trans Bhutan Trail,” she states. “Seekers will be exploring the wisdom of the ancients in Indigenous travel experiences; learning to grow their own food; expressing their creativity in art classes; and giving back

Communal bathing that hearkens back to European and Asian bathing cultures is inspiring an urban bathhouse renaissance around the globe. Just a few examples: Austria’s Therme Group, which already attracts around 3.4 million visitors a year to its sites in Europe, is now investing heavily in North America; Italian wellness company QC Terme will open its next urban bathhouse on New York’s Governor’s Island; and a Finnish-inspired Nordic bathing spa opened in early 2022 in Toronto. Additionally, sauna bathing (and communal sweating) is becoming more popular and playful—it’s less about being serious and silent and more about communal joy! Large event saunas have been opening outside of European sauna “hot spots,” with cities like Las Vegas hosting high-octane “Sauna Aufguss” performances and London night spots offering private rooftop saunas adjacent to the rooftop bar. New public playgrounds that merge nature and art with wellness are transforming cityscapes—with new manmade beachfronts, scenic boardwalks, pop-up wellness classes, and even water sports becoming available in very unexpected places: like New York, Paris, London, Sydney, Madrid, and Tokyo.

Like Finding Money You Didn’t Know You Had BY MARY HUNT You know the feeling when you reach into the pocket of a coat or pants you haven’t worn for a while and pull out a $20 bill? What would it feel like if you pulled out hundreds of dollars? And what if you found money like that month after month? It’s not magic; it can be done. Pin holes in your financial life can turn into massive money-gushers. Patching these holes is the key to improving your income. The problem is that it’s easy to ignore the tiny cracks. We’re busy! There’s the mortgage or rent, car payment, credit cards, insurance, college savings, carpools, vacation plans, retirement accounts, work benefits, kids, dog, guinea pig. So, the little stuff happens without

our noticing. We think: -- What’s the harm in picking up dinner from the drive-thru again? Our lives are so busy, and we have to eat. -- Why go to the trouble of scoping out the sales before I hit the supermarket? My time is valuable. I’ll dash in, buy what looks good, and the kids will eat. -- Why pay more than the minimum payment this month? It won’t make that much difference in the long run, and besides, I need to start Christmas shopping. -- Forget generics; they’re inferior to the brand name in every way, and for sure not at all reliable. Those kinds of small, seemingly innocuous everyday financial decisions that pop up regularly can end up costing

thousands of dollars a year. Consider the following: It now costs at least $40 to feed a family of five at any fast food drive-thru. The food will be marginal in both taste and nutrition. You could prepare a much tastier and more nutritious meal at home for $20. Easy. Do the math. If you get fast food twice a week, you’re letting $2,080 leak out of your life (52 x $40 = $2,080) every year. If you are diligent to buy your supermarket food items only when they are on sale (don’t worry, everything goes on sale in a typical supermarket in a 12week rotation), you’ll cut your grocery tab by at least 50%! The difference between full price and sale price is stunContinued on page 5

wildlife habitat located near Genoa, Nevada, where the East and West Forks of the Carson River meet. It’s now a nature preserve and a working cattle operation, remaining true to its sustainable agriculture practices. On any given day, guests can spot birds, deer and frogs and turtles. Just a few minutes’ drive further toward Genoa, connect with the outdoors through an impressive trail system for hikers and mountain bikers with treks along the Sierra foothills or to the top with views overlooking the valley and Lake Tahoe. After exploring the Eagle Ridge Loop, Sierra Canyon Trail and the Discovery Trail, stop by the Genoa Bar, the oldest thirst parlor in Nevada, for a cold beer or a specialty cocktail. Animal encounters: Animal therapy is a thing for a reason, it heals us. Carson Valley has a plethora of wild and tame animals that are ready to strike a pose for that perfect shot through varied tours. Local guides and expert photographers take visitors off-road for an up-close look at wild horses. These encounters offer a window into life in the Wild West – and the views aren’t bad either. For a tamer approach, youth and adults can go to Chappell Ranch to learn more about horsemanship and leadership on a working ranch. Through several outfitters and tour guides, activities to connect with animals are one of the area’s best-kept secrets. Other activities to get the heart racing include hang gliding (Soaring NV), air ballooning (Balloon Nevada).

Basking in the applause on Graduation Day BY CLAIRE LYNCH For years Carrie Underwood dreamed of getting her college degree but her path to graduation, like the path to her singing career, had a lot of twists and turns along the way. Carrie Marie Underwood was born on March 10, 1983, in Muskogee, Oklahoma, to Carole and Steve Underwood. She has two older sisters, Shanna and Stephanie, and was raised on her parents’ farm in the nearby rural town of Checotah. Her father worked in a paper mill and her mother taught elementary school. During her childhood, Underwood performed at Robbins Memorial Talent Show, and sang at her local church, First Free Will Baptist Church. She later sang for local events in Checotah, including Old Settler’s Day and the Lions Club. A local fan arranged for her to go to Nashville when she was 14 to audition for Capitol Records. In 1996, Capitol Records was preparing a contract for Underwood but canceled it when company management changed. Underwood later said, “I honestly think it’s a lot better that nothing came out of it now, because I wouldn’t have been ready then. Everything has a way of working out.” When Underwood attended Checotah High School she was an Honor Society member, a cheerleader, and she played basketball and softball. Underwood graduated from Checotah High School in 2001 as salutatorian. She chose not to pursue singing immediately after graduation. She said, “After high school, I pretty much gave up on the dream of singing. I had reached a point in my life where I had to be practical and prepare for my future in the ‘real world.’” In mid-2004, Underwood auditioned for “American Idol” in St. Louis, Missouri, singing Bonnie Raitt’s “I Can’t Make You Love Me.” She did a great job - it was pretty obvious that she’d make it through to the show. After she sang “Could’ve Been” by Tiffany on the top 12 girls night, judge Simon Cowell

commented that she would be one of the favorites to win the competition. Underwood won season 4 of the show in May 2005, defeating runner-up Bo Bice. In the same year Underwood had success with her debut single, “Inside Your Heaven,” making her the first country music artist to hit #1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart. Then album “Some Hearts” was released. Carrie Underwood won the show while she was a college student. In fact, she was only three credits away from earning her degree when she withdrew to participate in Season 4 of “American Idol.” She was attending Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, Oklahoma at that time. Her time on the show took up much of 2005. Then the next year she was able to graduate on May 6, 2006. At first she wasn’t sure if she would graduate on time because she was three credits short but her university ended up giving her those three credits from being a contestant on “American Idol.” It was life experience - and considered to be a college internship. Graduating magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Mass Communications with an emphasis in Journalism, Underwood’s goal was to work in TV news. She spent part of one summer as a page for Oklahoma State Rep. Bobby Frame. She’s waited tables at a pizzeria, worked at a zoo and at a veterinary clinic. For two summers she performed in Northeastern State University’s Downtown Country show in Tahlequah. She competed in numerous beauty pageants at the university and was selected as Miss NSU runner-up in 2004. Underwood appeared on “How I Met Your Mother” in March 2010. She played the role of Tiffany, a medical sales rep who dates Ted. This was the second highest rated episode for season five. Underwood made her film debut in “Soul Surfer” in April 2011 and she played Maria von Trapp in NBC’s “The

Sound of Music Live!,” a three-hour telecast aired on December 5, 2013. Underwood’s debut book, “Find Your Path,” was released in 2020. It became a N.Y. Times best seller, debuting at #2 on the How-To and Miscellaneous list. Underwood began dating NHL player Mike Fisher after meeting at one of her concerts in late 2008. Engaged in December 2009, the couple married at The Ritz-Carlton Lodge in Greensboro, Georgia, on July 10, 2010, with more than 250 people attending their ceremony. Their son, Isaiah Michael, was born in 2015 and in 2019, their second son, Jacob Bryan, was born. Always an animal lover, today Underwood and her husband have two dogs, Penny and Zero, at home on their Nashville farm. Husband Mike gave her two cows as a Christmas present two years ago - at her request. She says cows are her favorite animal because she grew up with them.

Don’t Blame the Government -- Blame Yourself BY TOM MARGENAU

Sometimes people will write to me complaining that the government, specifically the Social Security Administration, has messed up and cheated them out of benefits they might have been due. But many times, the fault (to trivialize a famous line from Shakespeare’s play, “Julius Caesar”) is not in our government, but in ourselves. Here are some examples of what I mean. Q: I am 72 years old. I have been getting my own reduced Social Security retirement since age 62. I have chronic arthritis and fibromyalgia and I just learned I could have been getting higher disability benefits all these years. So, I called Social Security about this, and they said it’s too late! What? Why didn’t someone from Social Security ever tell me about this? They messed up and they owe me 10 years’ worth of disability benefits. A: I’m going to be rather blunt with you. They didn’t mess up; you did. It’s your job to educate yourself about the benefits you might be due from Social Security. I know if I had the kinds of problems you described, I would have said to myself: “I wonder if I might be eligible for disability benefits.” And then I would have checked into that. And I’m not sure how things work today, but I know that 10 years ago, the Social Security retirement application had a question on it that essentially asked something like this: “Are you unable to work because of a disabling condition?” You must have answered that question “No,” because a “Yes” answer would have led you down the path to a claim for Social Security disability benefits. Q: I am 62 years old. My husband, to whom I’ve been married for 10 years now, is also 62. He plans to wait until he is 70 to file for Social Security. I was married to another man for about 25 years. We ran a small business together. Our accountant and tax preparer advised us to put all the earnings from the business in my husband’s name, so that’s what we did. I have almost no earnings on my Social Security record. My ex-husband recently died. I called Social Security to see about getting widow’s benefits on his record. They said I can’t because I remarried before the age of 60. Why didn’t the government ever tell me this? If they can’t give me widow’s benefits, why can’t they give me my share of the earnings from the business? How can the government be so heartless to deny me what’s rightfully mine? A: Just like the woman who asked the first question, you are trying to blame the government for mistakes that you made. Or to be more precise, for mistakes you and your former husband and your accountant made. Let’s start out with your complaint that no one from Social Security ever

told you that if you remarry before age 60, you lose your potential eligibility for benefits from your first husband’s Social Security account. Did you expect that a Social Security representative would be stationed at every marriage license bureau in the country ready to advise remarrying widows about the age 60 rule? If I were a woman considering a second marriage, and if I were concerned about Social Security benefits from a former husband’s record, I would have checked into this. For example, a simple Google search using the keywords “remarriage” and “Social Security” turns up all kinds of information from the Social Security Administration and other sources that would have answered all your questions. And as far as the little gimmick your accountant pulled by putting all the earnings on your husband’s Social Security record, once again, I think you do have to accept some responsibility for what happened. For example, if I were a woman involved in a business with my husband, and my tax preparer said, “Let’s give all the earnings and credit for the business to your husband,” I would have said, “Wait a minute. Does that really make sense?” But believe me, I know that’s easier said than done. Over the years, I have heard from hundreds, if not thousands, of moms in a “mom and pop” business who are in the same boat as you. They let themselves get talked into going along with this male-oriented tax-filing scheme. As I have written in many past columns about this issue (and that I simply don’t have the space to cover in today’s column), this practice can work out for couples who stay married forever and who both live well into their retirement years. It has to do with the combination of retirement benefits payable to the husband and spousal benefits payable to the wife. But that tax-filing practice generally does not work out for women who get divorced or for widows who remarry before the age of 60. You also wondered why the Social Security Administration simply can’t give you your share of earnings from the business. That’s not how it works. As I said, you (but probably mostly your accountant and your first husband) made the decision a long time ago to give all the business earnings to your husband. By law, the SSA must go along with how things were reported on your tax returns. The only bit of solace I can give you is this: If your second marriage ends (by death or divorce), then you would be able to go back and claim widow’s benefits on your first husband’s Social Security record. Q: I am 62 years old and currently unmarried. I have always worked in low-paying jobs and my Social Security benefit will only be about $1,200 per month. I was married to a very

wealthy man, but we divorced many years ago. We got the divorce just two weeks shy of our 10th anniversary. The Social Security rep I talked to said because we were not married for 10 years, I can’t get any of his Social Security. Why was I never told about this before? The government has ripped me off! A: Do you think a Social Security representative should be stationed at every divorce court in this country ready to tell women to stay married for 10 years in order to be eligible for benefits from the ex? I understand that at the time you divorced this guy, Social Security was

probably the furthest thing from your mind. Still, the ball was in your court to educate yourself about this.

Which is better, buying a co-op or a condo? BY PHILIP A. RAICES As prices continue to escalate in the hottest market on record, interest rates have increased. A little explanation is necessary at this point to make everyone know the gravity of our financial situation. The most recent increase last week was 1/2% (1/4 point on 3.16.22) by Jerome Powell, our Fed Chair. A while back he said that inflation would be transitory as we know how that prediction went. He should have started the increases in 2021 with 1/8 of a point, anticipating the future with the supply chain the way it was morphing into an extremely challenging time. I am quite surprised that the inflation factor was not taken seriously enough; as I mentioned in last week’s column, it is definitely not 8%, when you add into the CPI, food and energy, but closer to 18%. Just look at your food, heating and gasoline bills which are up substantially. I remember getting gas out on the North Folk for $1.97 a gallon in 2019 prior to the Pandemic. Now it’s $4.24$4.49. Maybe they should open up the Alaska pipeline right now, to ease the price for those who can least afford it. What is occurring right now may just really slow down our economy, adding $225,000,000,000 to our already bloated national debt. The U.S. Government owes 22.3 trillion; but actually if you add up all the IOU’s it’s probably much, much higher. Now we can discuss whether purchasing a co-op or a condo is a better path to pursue. If you have been priced out of the home market then either one will work. However, you need to sit down and think which style will

be the better investment over the long run. The only answer from my perspective is a condo, which is usually a luxury entity, with a 24/7 doorman, indoor parking, sometimes an exercise room and always an elevator. If you have the budget to purchase and possibly plan to keep it as an investment for the future when you are ready to buy a single or multi-family home. However the differential between a 1 Bedroom and 1 bath co-op and a 1 bedroom 1.5 bath condo (standard on condos) is approximately from $100,000-$300,000, depending on what building you are considering comparing it to. A 1 bedroom condo usually has 1.5 baths as the co-op has only 1 bath. Condos are considered real property and pay monthly common charges plus real estate taxes separately. One pays monthly maintenance fees when owning a co-op, which includes real estate taxes, daily maintenance in and around the building, salaries of the super and porters, payment of principle and interest on the underlying mortgage on the building and land. One also has stock ownership attached to it. There could be a flip tax and other expenses associated with a coop. However, as long as the financials of the cooperative building are solid you should have no problem eventually selling. It is imperative for you and your attorney to check the current and last year’s financials, which

will reveal the stability of the building e.g. how much cash is in the working capital account, which is used to pay daily bills, as well as the reserve fund too. You can also determine if there are any capital improvements that are noted currently or in the immediate future in the minutes that are taken when there is a board or building meeting. You or your attorney has the right to review them in the management’s office. This can determine an assessment or an increase in monthly maintenance and whether or not it is a short term obligation or much longer. Also, checking the offering plan with all the up to date amendments will also be very helpful. For the most part your co-op is somewhat restricted in renting it out after you move on to a home. However, a condo has very little restrictions, but there may be some rules that you would have to abide by. As you can see there are differences between co-ops and condos. However, your financial situation will determine which one is not only affordable, but which one will provide you the best return in the long run.

Like Finding Money You Didn’t Know You Had Continued from page 2 ning when everything in your cart is on sale. It will take you 10 years and cost you an additional $10,000 in interest alone on a $10,000 credit card balance if you pay only the minimum amount required. See how easy it is for slow leaks to turn into big money blowouts? Just imagine those little leaks draining money from your bank day after day, month after month. Insisting on brand loyalty is another common money leak. Sure, we all have our brand favorites, but opting to pay double for things that don’t really matter adds up to one big waste of money. You can plug this money leak by opting for the store or generic brand whenever it makes absolutely no difference. Flour, sugar, salt, spices, milk, eggs,

meat -- all of these items must adhere to the same federal standards regardless of brand. Pain relievers like Advil and Aleve all have generic alternatives that share identical ingredients for half the price. Read the labels to compare. And when a cheaper alternative does not make the grade, return it for an exchange or refund. Generic or store-brand clones are at least 25% cheaper than their namebrand equivalents. But don’t assume anything. Always check and compare. When it comes to your finances, those seemingly undetectable cracks in your checking account, credit card debt, food tab and other household expenses can seriously sideline your dreams.

A Cosmic Coverup! BY DENNIS MAMMANA Week of May 8-14, 2022 I just love eclipses. Not only are they fun to watch, but an eclipse is one of the few cosmic phenomena where we can see the movement of our heavens. If you’re as intrigued by these celestial events as I am, then you must plan to be outdoors on Sunday evening, May 15. Oh, you’ve already got other plans, you say? Break ‘em! You definitely won’t want to miss this dramatic primetime total lunar eclipse! The cosmic coverup begins officially at 7:27 p.m. PDT (10:27 p.m. EDT), as the moon’s eastern edge slips gradually into the Earth’s dark inner shadow -- the umbra. Stargazers in most of North America will see the moon fairly high up in the southeastern sky at that time; some on the North American West Coast, however, may see the moon rising over the horizon with the show already in progress. For the next hour or so, the moon will dim as it enters deeper into our planet’s umbra until 8:29 p.m. PDT (11:29 p.m. EDT) when it becomes completely eclipsed. During totality, the eclipsed moon may take on a strange coppery hue. This color occurs because sunlight passing through our atmosphere is reddened and bent inward toward the darkened surface of the moon. Just how red and

dark it appears depends on the clarity of our planet’s atmosphere at the time sunlight passes through it. The totally eclipsed moon can appear almost any color from bright orange to dark brown -- or be completely invisible. Unlike some other celestial events, you can watch the eclipse from under the bright lights of a city, but for a truly dramatic view, head out under dark rural skies. Here, during totality, you’ll see the moon’s ruddy orb suspended in front of the faint stars of the constellation Libra, the scales, and hanging just above the bright reddish-orange star Antares. Totality continues until 9:53 p.m. PDT (12:23 a.m. EDT on May 16), when the eastern edge of the moon emerges into bright sunlight once again. Now, the Earth’s umbral shadow will continue to retreat westward across the moon’s face, leaving it completely at 10:55 p.m. PDT (1:55 a.m. EDT). We don’t see lunar eclipses frequently because the celestial geometry must be just right for the Earth’s shadow to fall onto the moon. Since the moon’s orbit is tipped about five degrees to the Earth-sun plane, the moon only occasionally passes through our planet’s shadow. That’s why we don’t experience a lunar eclipse during every full moon -- or a solar eclipse during every new moon. Unlike an eclipse of the sun, a lunar eclipse is perfectly safe to view without

protective filters. All you need is your eyes, but if you have binoculars or a small telescope, you’ll find that viewing through these may be even more enjoyable. To learn more details about this eclipse, and even where you can watch it online, visit timeanddate.com and click on “Lunar Eclipse Countdown”. And to find groups in your area that

might be hosting a free lunar-eclipse telescope viewing party, check with your local planetarium, college or amateur astronomy club. Visit go-astronomy.com and click on the “Clubs & Orgs” tab. Visit Dennis Mammana at dennismammana.com. COPYRIGHT 2022 CREATORS.COM

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

Feeling Sheepish BY TRACY BECKERMAN

“Did you know that you can burn FIVE THOUSAND calories a day shearing sheep?!” I exclaimed to my husband. “If I did that, I could eat anything I want.” He gave me the look he always gives me when I say something truly off-thewall and he debates committing me to a psychiatric ward for a 24-hour hold. “And how many sheep do you think you could keep in the apartment?” he said. “They won’t be my sheep,” I said. “I would shear other people’s sheep. And I’ll get a sheep shearing shed.” It was, I understood, a crazy idea, mostly because I had never sheared a sheep in my life, and also because I didn’t own sheep shears or have a sheep shearing shed. Still, I was pretty sure I’d be a good sheep shearer because I already knew how to cut my own bangs. As exciting as it sounded, though, I

didn’t really want to shear sheep. What I wanted was a way to burn a lot of calories, because what I really wanted was... A doughnut. “If I shear some sheep I can have a doughnut,” I said to my husband. “I have no idea how your mind works,” he said. “It’s actually kind of scary sometimes.” “Shearing sheep would counteract the points I would get if I ate a doughnut.” I had started a weight loss program based on points. Doughnuts, I assumed, had way too many points to fit in my plan. That’s where the sheep came in. I pulled out my handy-dandy weight loss app to look up the actual number of points in a doughnut. “WHAAAT?” I bellowed. “WHAT?!” said my husband, looking alarmed. “A doughnut is ELEVEN points,” I exclaimed. “That’s like half my points

for the day.” I calculated quickly in my head. “I would have to shear a whole shebang of sheep to have a doughnut.” I was bereft. Since it seemed unlikely that I would be shearing any sheep that day, I needed to find something else to satisfy that craving. I thought maybe just one doughnut hole would do the trick. “WHAAAT?” I bellowed. “WHAT?!” said my husband, looking alarmed. “A doughnut hole is THREE points. Just one hole. Are you kidding me?” I’d still have to shear 1,000 sheep to work that off. At this point, it seemed unlikely that I would be able to even have a doughnut hole. Then I realized that maybe it wasn’t about the doughnut. Maybe I was just craving something sweet. I could have an apple because apples had zero points. But I knew in my moment of doughnut desperation that an apple

just wasn’t going to cut it. I thought for a moment about what else I could have that would be sweet and small and totally not on my plan but wouldn’t blow a whole day of points. “I bet I could have some M&Ms!” I said brightly. I quickly got out my weight loss app once again and looked it up. “So, can you have some M&Ms?” said my husband, now completely vested in my sugar quest. I shook my head sadly. “I can have an M.” Tracy Beckerman is the author of the Amazon Bestseller “Barking at the Moon: A Story of Life, Love, and Kibble,” available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble online!

Girls Varsity Lacrosse suffers disappointment against Massapequa

Sophomore defender Mabel Overbeck (#13) with the successful clear

Junior defender Rory Heslin (#18) moves the ball quickly into the offensive zone.

Junior Marie Cacciabaudo (#11) had a hat trick against the Chiefs.

Sophomore defender Emily Romeo (#23) with the forced turnover.

Freshman midfielder Kathryn Monaco (#6) ready on defense.

Senior goalie Amanda Grimes (#96) made three key stops in the second half.

Coming off of a hard-fought loss on Saturday, April 30, against Manhasset in the Woodstick Classic snapping their winning streak, the Garden City Girls Varsity Lacrosse team was anxious to get back to business. They travelled away to face the Massapequa Chiefs in their last regular season conference game. The first five minutes of play between Garden City and Massapequa was sloppy for both teams with several turnovers apiece. It was Massapequa that would finally capitalize with a free position penalty for a score. Garden City’s American University commit, Kristen Hegarty, answered with a goal assisted by sophomore attacker Maureen Arendt to tie it up 1-1 eight minutes into the match. Garden City was flat and not connecting in their usual play. For the next five draws, Garden City came up empty handed, a usual strength for the Lady Trojans. Massapequa made the most of their face-off wins adding five goals to their tally to pull ahead of Garden City 6-1. Garden City entered the half down five goals. They had not seen a deficit this large all season long, with the largest to date being three goals down. Coach Ettinger and assistant coaches Rogler and Leake gave the girls a motivating half time speech encouraging them to get back in the game. The first

play of the second half showed the typical GC draw circle spark. Sophomore Mabel Overbeck took the first draw flicking the ball to senior captain Caitlin McNaboe who took the ball into the offensive zone. Unfortunately, a forced turnover in front of the net gave the Chiefs the ball and they scored once again widening the scoring gap even further 7-1. This wake-up call really ignited the GC offense and defense. Sophomore Mabel Overbeck won the next draw, creating offensive opportunities and the first goal for Garden City since the first five minutes of the game scored by junior Virginia Tech commit Marie Cacciabaudo. Caitlin McNaboe won the next draw and junior Marie Cacciabaudo delivered for the Trojans again chipping away at the score to bring it to 7-3. Senior Kristen Hegarty added to the scoreboard 7-4 with seventeen minutes to go in the half. The defense — Kasey Prybylski, Ariana Bransfield, Emily Romeo and Mabel Overbeck — was on fire forming a wall for the aggressive Massapequa offense, including a Syracuse University commit. Senior goalie Amanda Grimes made several lights-out saves to keep Garden City in the game. Grimes’ save off a Massapequa free position set off a chain reaction from Grimes to Bransfield to McNaboe to Finnell and back to McNaboe for the score. With

eight minutes to go, the Lady Trojans had mounted a comeback 7-5 and made this a two-point game. Massapequa would not take this Trojan resurgence lightly and quickly answered with another goal to widen the gap again to three goals at 8-5. Marie Cacciabaudo scored her third goal of the game off a free position stinger with just under five minutes to play once again shrinking GC’s deficit 8-6. GC won the next draw and retained possession until the referee made a questionable call that the ball was thrown from out of bounds and gave possession to Massapequa essentially changing the trajectory of the game. Not to be deterred, defense pressed hard, forcing a turnover picked up by Marist College commit Caitlin McNaboe. With under a minute to play, the offense moved the ball down the field and a buzzer penalty was called. Junior Ariana Bransfield scored the last goal of the game to bring the final score 8-7 Massapequa. Despite going into the half so down, the girls showed grit and a fighting spirit to never give up forging a strong comeback and, in the end, holding Massapequa to only two second half goals. Garden City Girls Varsity Lacrosse ended the regular season 10-3 with Conference 1 standings at 7-2. The final loss to Massapequa sealed their loss of the Conference 1 title. Next up for the

Sophomore attacker Maureen Arendt (#10) had an assist against Massapequa. Lady Trojans are the play-offs. They have a bye in Week One and will play their first game at home on Wednesday, May 18, which is also Senior Day. Come and support the girls as they travel their playoff journey and try to defend their titles!
