Library Board considers new security plans BY RIKKI N. MASSAND
Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas announced that a Hempstead man has been sentenced to 1-1/3 years to four years in prison and must register as a sex offender for exposing himself to several women in Garden City and possessing more than a thousand images and videos of child pornography. Cameron McDermott, 32, pleaded guilty on March 28 before Judge Robert McDonald to Possessing a Sexual Performance by a Child (an E felony) and Public Lewdness (a B misdemeanor). “This sexual predator terrorized women throughout our region as he accumulated a despicable collection of child pornography at home,” DA Singas said. “Our community is safer with this menace behind bars where he belongs.” DA Singas said from September 2016 to January 2017, the defendant commitSee page 30

The Garden City Public Library Board of Trustees is actively searching for a new library director, a civil service position in the village, with the assistance of consultant George Trepp. In late April and in early May, his services turned to the collaborative efforts to enhance security and fire safety protocols at the public library in Garden City, an initiative that came up to the Village Board of Trustees when the 2018-2019 Library Budget was presented in a March work session in the weeks following the Parkland school shooting tragedy in Florida. Trepp provides expertise from his experience in the City of Long Beach and grooming several Long Island public library directors over the past few decades. At the GCPL Board meeting on May 14 he presented the library board, members of the Friends of GCPL, and a few residents in attendance with a list of Security and Fire Safety Suggestions that GCPL could implement to bolster the safety of an operational, open public building. Trepp worked on the security list after touring the library with Garden City Police Sergeant Bill Grimes and GCPL staffers Joanne Kastelek and Eileen Hawkins on April 24. Chairman of the GCPL Board J. Randolph Colahan made a motion to accept the Security and Fire Safety suggestions on paper from Trepp and Sgt. Grimes, telling fellow board members there were things that can be done right away and there shouldn’t be a delay. Trepp outlined steps the GCPL and its Board of Trustees can take now to have emergency preparedness and protocols covered, hopefully never finding the situation calling for See page 30

A WORD FROM THE PUBLISHER
Pay full school tax bill
Two letters to the editor in this week's issue raise the same point about the proposed development a 555 Stewart Avenue. They both agree that it is outrageous that the developers of the 150 unit apartment building should get a tax break on their school tax bill if the Nassau County Industrial Development Agency (IDA) approves. At a recent hearing regarding the project, Kevin Walsh, the attorney for the developer, stated that his clients would be willing to make Payments In Lieu of Taxes (PILOTs) that would cover the costs of the municipal services that the residents of the building would use. He said the owners would pay the full amount of their Village tax bill. However, Walsh wouldn't com-
mit to paying full school district taxes. Instead, he said that the project would cover the costs of a projected number of students that would live in the building, which the developer estimates to be about ten. Wouldn't it be nice if all homeowners in the school district could just pay for their own kids' education? There certainly would be a lot of senior citizens who would be overjoyed at the prospect of not paying any more school taxes. However that goes against the principle of public education. One pays one's school taxes not just for one's own children, but to educate all the kids of the community. And that amount is based on the value of the property, not some made up estimate.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Email: Editor@GCNews.com
Are GC children second class citizens?
To the Editor: The developer of 555 Stewart Avenue proposes to build a $60 million dollar apartment house, with 150 apartments. The school taxes on the property, after its development, are expected to be over a million dollars a year. The developer is applying to the Industrial Development Agency (“IDA”) to allow it to pay a fraction of these taxes for a 20-year period. If this is approved, the residents will have to pay the taxes that the developer won’t. On the other hand, the developer has agreed to pay 100% of Village taxes for the same period. There is no justification for the developer’s position. Village taxes provide services not only to the apartment house, but to all Village residents. School taxes provide services not only to the apartment house children but to all Village children. The developer’s claim that whatever school taxes he pays will pay for the education of apartment house children ignores the fundamental principle of our taxing system. Residents pay Village and School taxes for the services they provide to all the residents of the Village. Residents don’t pay School taxes based on the number of children they send to school. Seniors and others who have no school children pay School taxes for all Village children who attend school. Why should the developer be treated differently, especially when the purpose is to increase its profit? The developer agreed to pay 100% of Village taxes. The developer should agree to pay 100% of school taxes. Come to the Board of Trustees meeting on June 7th and give your opinion to the developer. Moreover, the law requires that an applicant for an IDA tax abatement show that the project will create jobs and prevent economic deterioration of the area. That’s not this case. The apartment house will create few jobs. The property is not deteriorating economically. On the contrary the property has increased in value to $5.2 million dollars. This location is not in a blighted area that needs economic renewal paid for by the taxpayers.
The School Board must oppose this application to the IDA and, if approved, litigate it in court. Residents should urge the School Board to take this action. We have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Otherwise residents will pay millions of dollars in school taxes on this apartment house and set a precedent for the developer to build another apartment house on its property across the street.

An assault on the Village
To the Editor: Garden City residents may be picking up the tab for a hundred (or more) new students entering our school system via the 150 2- and 3-bedroom unit apartment currently planned for Stewart Avenue. The builder does not want to pay school taxes, but offers a PILOT instead, stating that they estimate only about 10 children would be entering our schools. Residents do not pay school taxes based on the number of children in a household, but on the value of the property itself. The builder should be required to do the same and pay full school taxes. Years ago, Garden City changed the zoning at this site to allow two dozen townhouses. (Former County Executive Tom Suozzi called these proposed townhouses “transitional housing” - -between single family homes on Raymond Court and commercial Roosevelt Field.) The Trustees should not allow a second change in zoning from townhouses to massive numbers of apartments. The builder has stated that there is no market for townhouses, thus the need for this monstrosity. If he will not -- or cannot--build townhouses, let him sell the site. The builder has also said GC seniors would be downsizing and would want to live in these apartments. Another delusional suggestion. Seniors who downsize are interested in locations where they can walk to amenities or have an easy drive to the store, bank, etc. See page 28

Weeks before the official start of summer and school vacation, the village’s Board of Commissioners of Recreation and Cultural Affairs (Rec. Commission) is evaluating the progress and financial sustainability of the Garden City Pool. At its meeting on Wednesday, May 16, indicators for the summer season ahead and plans to bring in better membership revenues were a priority as the next few weeks will determine the facility’s return on some heavy village investments. In recent years the bathrooms and showers have gone through thorough renovations with a few necessary adjustments along the way, and the pool’s operating systems and filtering have also been addressed with installations. Kevin Ocker, village department head of Recreation and Parks, said that more major work for the Garden City Pool facility is planned as part of a new capital project that will be designed this summer and early fall. The Commission has reviewed proposals to add many amenities and modern elements similar to resorts and beach clubs. No scope of work, pricing or bidding components have been established yet for the next phase of pool upgrades. But Ocker says the goal is to try to begin the process and work after the summer 2018 pool season concludes. With exactly a month before Father’s Day weekend (June 15 to 17) which traditionally sets the metric to establish pool memberships for the summer season, Recreation Commission member Judy Courtney asked for an update on registrations to date. The 2018 pool memberships’ drive is unique as this year Recreation and Parks didn’t offer an incentive for early registration, and in 2017 the Commission understood that many members took advantage of the incentives. “We did a comparison on pool registrations from this date (May 16) last year to now, and you’ll recall the incentive offered in 2017 for members to sign up prior to April 1. When you compare we see many people took advantage to sign up prior to April 1, 2017 with up to 10% off membership offered (depending on category). If you look at the dollars we see the breakdown and because we had no incentives this year, registrations are behind, dollar-wise. We chose not to offer an incentive this year. We will see where we go in the next two or three weeks, and the numbers will be sent to the Commission,” Ocker explained. Pool Director Steve Espey said last Wednesday that the incentives a year ago cost the pool, which is an enterprise fund in the Village of Garden City, about $32,000 in revenues. Espey then
spoke about maintaining the levels of marketing and advertising the pool season membership which involves social media, mailings, and ads in The Garden City News. He told the Commission the traditional “hot times” for a surge in pool season memberships come up soon, with the first weekend of June and again on Father’s Day weekend. The Commission is considering the time ahead as “crunch time” for the pool to add members as well into May the totals were uninspiring. As discussed at its meeting, the pool was down by 350 members total and a big drop was seen in the ‘Family’ and ‘Family of 2’ categories. Commission member Walter McKenna said the pool has 190 less family memberships than the 2017 season (as of last week). Tom McGerty, said that the potential slowdown in membership through midMay could be attributed to a few factors as there aren’t capital improvements to promote for 2018 as there were for 2017 and 2016, although this summer season will include two extra weeks of for members to enjoy. “Last year we did the indoor snack bar (concessions) and the year before we did the bathrooms, so we are not improving and adding much to the facility compared with the recent past years. We did put out a ConstantContact blast today but also the rainy weather has not helped bring in new registrations,” he said. Courtney agreed that the lack of warm weather has left few in Garden City wanting to cool down with a dip in the pool. McKenna asked about the drop in memberships to date related to promotion and advertising of the pool season. Espey explained the postcards mailed to Garden City residents and the note on a discount for guestbooks in 2018 as the only promotion (to purchase a $65 guest pass book for $50). “As far as members go this was the only type of promotion we advertised. We put that on Facebook and did two mailings, starting in January, when we send postcards that have season ‘highlights’ and then our pool brochure at the end of February. A year ago when we saw incentives coming in early most registrations were from people who would join the pool anyway. Basically we gave discounts out to people who would join regardless. We do not know the impacts on new people coming in through 2017. Traditionally, before our incentives were offered, as the season draws closer in June it is a big rush for members to join the pool. This is definitely true for family memberships because the kids are still in school so parents are not yet thinking about the pool season much,” Espey said. He says the days immediately before the end See page67

16-year-old Tim Brennan became interested in organ donation after seeing his aunt’s struggles with kidney failure. Through her struggle with four operations, he gained awareness of the absolute need for organ donors in New York State, which has the lowest number of organ donors in the country. The sophomore at Regis High School in Manhattan has recently started a campaign among his peers to make them aware of the need for organ donors. “He’s been going about it in a number of different ways,” said his mom, Courtney, who fully supports her son in his campaign. “He had scheduled three donor awareness days at his school, where he set up information tables and even put together a student BBQ.” She also said that her son had written an op-ed piece about the need for organ donors in New York that was published on the CNN news site earlier this month. In the piece, he talked about how he has become an organ donor after New York State recently changed the law to allow 16-year-olds to register as organ donors.
Below is an excerpt from that piece, which was published on May 9th on the CNN.com news site. “As a 16-year-old in New York State, there are a lot of things I cannot do. I can’t join the army, I can’t get a driver’s license, I can’t vote, and I can’t drink. But there’s one thing I can do. I can register to become an organ donor, something that before February 14th, 2017, no 16-year-old in New York could do.” He went on to say that his campaign is about changing his peers’ attitudes towards organ donation and making them more aware of the importance of donating to someone in need. Courtney said that through her family’s ordeal of helping her sister through multiple kidney operations, Tim gained a lot of knowledge on the subject. “He met a lot of doctors, patients, and scientists in the field and really became aware of what was going on. That’s when he understood the dire need for organ donation.” She said that there are over 100,000 people in New York who are registered on a transplant waiting list, and there is a three to five-year backlog for organ donation compared to one to two years in other states.

Memorial Day Parade & Ceremony
William Bradford Turner Post 265 of the American Legion will conduct its Memorial Day parade and ceremonies on Monday, May 28, 2018, beginning at 10:00 a.m. The parade will step off from Hilton Road and Tenth Street then make its way down Franklin Avenue before disbanding at the War Memorial on Seventh Street where keynote speakers will join residents in honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice. The Garden City Kiwanis Club is supporting and assisting the Post in this effort. Grand Marshal Christopher Blume, an Army Veteran and past Commander of the William Bradford Turner Post, will lead members of American Legion Post 265 and its Auxiliary, who will join veterans of the Vietnam War, U.S. Marines, members of the U.S. Coast Guard and New York State Guard, along with U.S. Seabees of World War II, members of Daughters of the American Revolution and the Garden City Police Unit. School bands, Majorettes and twirlers, local Scout and Brownie troops, members of the Garden City Athletic Association and Garden City Community Club, the Knights of Columbus and the Garden City Chamber of Commerce will follow. Village crews are prepping the area this week, erecting a new gazebo, sprucing up the surrounding landscape, re-positioning accent lighting that illuminates the monuments at nightfall and power washing the existing monuments. Additionally, a new American flag will be placed on the flagpole prior to Memorial Day, as it is with all other Village-owned flagpoles throughout the community.
Stewart Manor Train Station Platform Work
Effective Monday, May 21, 2018, platform replacement work at the Stewart Manor train station entered Phase 2. The western half of the eastbound platform (south side of station) re-opened and the eastern half is now closed to the public. • Westbound customers must board/exit the rear four cars of the train. • Eastbound customers must board/exit the first four cars of the train. • Work is taking place solely on LIRR property; no traffic detours will be required for this effort. • This will not impact service. Timetables will be available at stations and at www.mta.info/lirr. The completion of the project is estimated for August 2018. The project scope includes full replacement of both station platforms, new platform shelters featuring artwork displays, new LED lights throughout the station, new signage, security cameras, Wi-Fi accessibility and customer help points where assistance with medical or other emergency situations can be summoned by the push of a button. New light poles will also be installed, along with new stairs and concrete work, and new speaker systems to improve station announcements and customer communications. During construction, pedestrian traffic will be limited on parts of the platform. Further details on the project will be included in upcoming notifications as dates are finalized.
Heavy snow season overtime
A majority of fund transfers approved at the May 10, 2018 Board of Trustees meeting were due to the heavy snow season. According to Department of Public Works Superintendent Joseph DiFrancisco, Overtime, salt, snow equipment repair and street repair due to heavy snow were all accounts that exceeded their budget. “Fortunately, we had significant savings in the Judgement and Claims account,” he said. Trustees approved the following fund transfers: • $4,480 from Judgments and Claims to Snow Removal-Other Payouts to fund additional meal allowances incurred during snow removal operations. • $15,250 from Judgments and Claims to Snow Removal-Snow Materials and Supplies to fund additional salt needed for snow removal. • $1,141.55 from Judgements and Claims to Snow Removal-Gas and Oil to fund additional fuel needed for snow removal operations. • $16,000 from Judgements and
Claims to Street MaintenanceMaterials and Supplies to fund additional road work necessary due to a very active snow season, causing excessive wear on pavement and concrete. • $21,212.29 from Judgements and Claims to Snow Removal-Overtime to fund excessive overtime due to snow removal.
Memorial Day Weekend DWI Enforcement
During the Memorial Day weekend (May 25-May 28), the Garden City Police Department, along with various other Police Departments throughout Nassau County, will be participating in the STOP DWI Enforcement Initiative targeting intoxicated and drugged drivers. The Department’s participation in this effort has been made possible through funding provided by the Nassau County Traffic Safety STOP DWI Program with a grant from the New York State STOP DWI Coordinators Association, the Governor's Traffic Safety Committee and the Nassau County Traffic Safety Board. Police Commissioner Ken Jackson states that during this initiative, Police Officers will monitor the Village’s roadways, strictly enforcing all DWI and Drugged Driver laws. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provides the following facts regarding alcohol and drugged driving: • In 2016, 10,497 people were killed nationally in alcohol-impaired driving crashes, accounting 28 percent of all traffic-related deaths in the United States. • Of the 1,233 traffic deaths among children ages 0 to 14 years in 2014, 214 (17 percent) involved an alcohol-impaired driver. • The annual cost of alcohol-related crashes totals more than $44 billion. • Drugs other than alcohol (legal and illegal) are involved in about 16 percent of all motor vehicle crashes. The Garden City Police Department wishes everyone a safe and happy holiday.
Water Tower replacement project
The Village is ready to move forward with the water tower replacement project but is awaiting Department of Health approval to begin. Preparation work is underway, though, including valve testing and working with the Village of Mineola in order to prepare both village water systems to communicate with each other. Department of Public Works Superintendent Joseph DiFrancisco and Police Commissioner Ken Jackson have also worked closely with the school district to ensure the safety of the students who travel to school along Old Country Road by the
water tower. “We feel we have a good plan in place,” Mr. DiFrancisco said.

On The Grounds Of
36 Cathedral Avenue Garden City, NY
On Wednesday, May 16 the Recreation and Parks Department, led by Kevin Ocker, met with the Garden City Centennials Soccer Club to discuss an expansion of natural grass playing surface at the St. Paul’s grounds. 90 feet of space has been identified for use in the immediate future. Ocker explained the plan to the Rec. Commission at its meeting last Wednesday night in the senior center. “We’ve identified about 90 feet of existing, perfect turf area to utilize outside of our current field space. This would leave a significant border for neighbors (in the Estates) to the west of the fields. We may be removing some of the old trees on the line, pines and some shrub materials that stick out onto the field space. This will allow Recreation and Parks to significantly shift the fields just enough to help us when we work on goal mounts that are totally in and out, and it gives some of our field space a break,” Ocker said.
Pesticides discussed
The meeting with the Centennials covered turf and field management at St. Paul’s including the potential for improvements by the fall. The topic of pesticide use and a possible stop to applications of pesticide on village playing fields, also discussed and endorsed at the Rec. Commission’s meeting on May 16, was not addressed yet with the local sports organization, despite the recent village notices of pesticide and spray application schedules. Ten parents at the Commission meeting were interested in the pesticide discussion, which came up later for the Rec. Commission and again with the Environmental Advisory Board one week later. On May 16, Ocker’s comments were focused on the division of St. Paul’s playing fields: “We came to an agreement with the Centennials organization that it may be necessary to take some field space out of service for fall 2018 and spring 2019. We will help the groups reposition their games and practices in other fields’ inventory that we have – we plan on doing that as a couple of the fields at St. Paul’s are so worn down and in desperate need of aerating, slice-seeding and fertilization. They cannot take the same beating continuously. Being able to shift a little bit will be able to help us a lot, and we could close areas that need a total renovation,” he said. Ocker told the Commission last week
that if you took a walk along the soccer fields at St. Paul’s and go off the playing surface, “you can see what is achievable.” He explained the field that would be taken out of rotation immediately would be soccer only for this fall, not impacting lacrosse. The plan involves creating two separate fields that are flexible in size. Soccer groups that utilize the Garden City fields now will be accommodated easily as they require a midsize or smaller field for play. “We have some ideas of where they can go and we will also work with the school district on facilities’ needs,” Ocker noted. Commission member Walter McKenna says he was in tough with youth lacrosse teams in Garden City and the constant wear and tear on the playing fields they use in the back at St. Paul’s can clearly be attributed to use “in the north-south position” to set up soccer games, as Ocker alluded to. “From what I understand, sometimes Recreation can turn fields facing the other way to accommodate sports. The lacrosse and soccer fields are used to the east of that, and when they are done we then shift them,” McKenna said. Senior groundskeeper of the Recreation and Parks Department Tim Messner explained that there are two lacrosse fields perpendicular to Stewart Avenue, and those field spaces cannot move this spring. He says there is no other way to fit nine fields at St. Paul’s other than keeping the two fields as they are or shifting them further to the west border of the St. Paul’ property. “ We have talked about the spring and fall layouts at St. Paul’s over time. One issue we’d have with moving the fields is putting those lacrosse fields on the east end, closer to the playground, if we created another space on the west end. The lacrosse fields would not be shooting in the direction of the playground but we do not want a safety concern with lacrosse balls flying in, as right now we still have the issue of soccer balls going into the playground area,” he said.
45 foot minimum
Recreation and Parks has metrics it works with including keeping a minimum of 45 feet away from fields’ sidelines to another field. The goal for fall remains picking up another 90 feet while leaving the lacrosse fields towards the west part of St. Paul’s. Messner explains that the concept of shifting space and turning the fields to face the east-west See page 49

Joseph J. Lucca
Joseph J. Lucca died peacefully at the age of 93 on May 4th, 2018, surrounded by his loving family. Joe was born in Brooklyn on September 17th, 1924, one of seven children of Italian immigrants Gaetano and Marie Ciancia Lucca. He was always a New Yorker, and lived in Garden City for 17 years.
After serving in the 78th Lighting Division of the US Army during World War II, Joe joined the NYPD where he remained until his retirement. He was an active parishioner at St. Joseph’s Church, where he was the first commissioned Eucharistic Minister.

IN MEMORIAM
John Francis Andrews
John Francis Andrews
September 29, 1933 - May 20, 2018 John Andrews, 84, died of congestive heart failure on May 20th, 2018, in Beaufort Memorial Hospital. He was born on September 29th, 1933, the first child of John and Agnes Andrews, in Hempstead, New York. The family moved to neighboring Garden City in his early youth, and he attended St. Joseph school there, and Cathedral College Prep Seminary. He continued his education at Northwestern University. He served 4 years in the United States Air Force during the Korean War years, assigned intelligence gathering duties
in North Africa and Germany. After his honorable discharge from military service, he began what would be his long career in the securities industry. He was a floor-broker on the New York Stock Exchange, for Merrill Lynch. In the late 1960’s, he took a hiatus from Wall Street and migrated to St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands where he took up his lifelong hobby of SCUBA diving and underwater photography. He, with a partner (who later became his brother-in-law) founded Aqua-Action, Inc., an enterprise that taught marine biology and terrestrial ecology to beginner SCUBA divers. The enterprise flourished, quickly becoming the largest dive operation in the Virgin Islands. While there, he met Julie Corner on holiday from her home in California. The two became engaged and later wed at her grandparents’ home in Brentwood. “Julie was the one who got me to put my shoes back on,” he later joked. He reentered the securities industry, acquiring a seat on the Pacific Coast Exchange, and later moved to “upstairs” or institutional trading. The couple were blessed with two daughters, Wendy and Kelly, while residing in Santa Monica. John later joined Charles Schwab, Inc as an institutional trader, and eventually retired from that firm.
RESIDENTIAL
All those years he continued his avocation of scuba diving, and taught both his daughters the joy and wonders of the world beneath the sea. Dive sites he visited included Singapore, Indonesia, and the Great Barrier Reef of Australia. However, he kept returning again and again to his favorite dive sites on the wrecks and reefs of the Caribbean, off Yucatan, the Grand Cayman Islands, and especially the British and U. S. Virgin Islands. His photographic skills grew with practice, and his underwater photographs have been acquired by the Smithsonian Institution. He also applied voice and music tracks to his underwater marine biology images, creating science units for elementary schools, some of which were shown educationally on PBS. Many vacation trips to Italy, mostly Florence, enabled John to become fluent in Italian, and proficient in its cuisine. He loved to cook, and spent many hours acquiring new recipes while watching cooking shows on TV. These trips to Italy also made him a devotee of grand opera, and he was especially partial to the works of Giuseppe Verdi. Upon his retirement from securities trading with Charles Schwab in 2000, he retired to Lady’s Island, South Carolina. This choice of site put him in easy driving distance to visit his daughters, sons-in-law, and 4 grandchildren. He
was a member of the Beaufort Arts Society. He continued his SCUBA activities while his health permitted, then took his swimming indoors with daily swims in the Beaufort YMCA pool. He also maintained a rigorous regimen of stretching exercises, as prescribed by Beaufort Sports Medicine. John Andrews was predeceased by both his younger sisters, Mary Andrews Williams, and Kathleen Andrews Klein, each of Ridgefield, CT. He is survived by his former wife, Julie Luce, their two daughters, Wendy Franklin of Chapin, SC, and Kelly Hunter of Clover, SC, one granddaughter, 3 grandsons, 4 nephews, and a younger brother, Jim Andrews of Port Royal, SC. Services are planned at St Peter’s Roman Catholic Church on Lady’s Island Thursday morning May 24th at 11:30 a.m. The family will receive visitors for one hour prior to the funeral mass, at St. Peter’s. Following the funeral mass, a burial will take place, with military honors in Beaufort National Cemetery. “A man he seems of cheerful yesterdays and confident tomorrows.” -- Wm Wordsworth (In lieu of flowers, the family wishes donors to address their generosity to Beaufort Memorial Hospital Foundation.)

THE VIEW FROM HERE
A Blue Wave BY BOB MORGAN, JR. You can make a good case that the Democrats will win big in Congressional elections in the fall, and a good case that they won’t. To review the numbers, all of the 435 members of the House of Representatives will be up for election in the fall. Right now the House is comprised of 235 Republicans, 193 Democrats and 7 vacancies, 5 of which are in previously Republicanheld districts. The current Senate lineup is 51 Republicans and 49 Democrats. Of the 35 Senate seats up for election in the fall (including two special elections), 26 are currently held by Democrats. Because the Democrats have to defend so many Senate seats this year, including seats in deep-red states, the consensus is that it would take an extraordinary upheaval for the Democrats to make a net gain in the Senate. However, there is no such structural impediment to a Democratic takeover in the House, which would require a net Democratic gain of 23 seats in Republican districts. Certainly the Democratic goal of gaining 23 seats is well within reach based on historical patterns. The average loss of seats by the President’s party since World War II has been 25 seats, with a median of 22 seats. One source of optimism for Democrats has been the party’s strong showing in both the elections held in November 2017 and in special elections, which may demonstrate an enthusiasm gap. An election held in March in a Pennsylvania house district easily carried by President Donald Trump went to a Democrat. More recently, Republicans retained a previously held House seat in Arizona, but by a markedly diminished margin. Democrats also scored well last November, winning the governor’s races in New Jersey and Virginia. Perhaps even more worrisome for Republicans is the relatively poor performance of the GOP in the suburbs. This has been manifested itself in a number of elections. Democrats won county executive
elections in Nassau and Westchester counties in New York, as well as a recent key state senate race in Westchester. They scored well in the suburban Pittsburgh portion of the district in the recent Pennsylvania Congressional race. Prognosticators of the individual House races are increasingly pointing to the Democrats. For example, a recent analysis of the races by pundit Nathan Gonzales published in Roll Call said that 68 House seats currently held by Republicans are vulnerable to challenge, while only 10 seats currently held by Democrats are in this category. Mr. Gonzales made 19 changes to his most recent ratings, all favorable to Democrats. On the other hand, the Republicans are not without their talking points. For example, Congressional midterm elections frequently reflect the standing of the President, and President Trump’s approval ratings, while still underwater, have been improving in recent months. Another key Republican point is that Democrats are currently lagging on the generic ballot poll question, where respondents are asked whether they would prefer a Republican or Democratic candidate to win in their district, has been trending toward the GOP. Right now Democrats have just a 4 point lead on this question, compared with a lead of 13 points in December. It is generally believed that because of demographic and line drawing factors, Democrats needs to lead on this polling question by 6 or 7 points to get control of the House. The last time the Democrats did flip the House, in 2006, winning 233 seats, a 31 seat pickup, final polls gave them a lead in the generic poll of 11.5 percent . For what it’s worth, I think that control of the House is likely to be a tight race. Republicans are wedded to President Trump, for better and for worse. On the other hand, Democrats will need to come up with candidates who are able to run on day to day issues rather than on Trump bashing and possible impeachment. Whoever can moderate the tone can win the day in November.

It’s all about the “best of the boys”– the Beach Boys, the Backstreet Boys, and The Four Seasons, to name a few – as the Long Island Gay Men’s Chorus (LIGMC) celebrates LGBT pride and its 10th anniversary season with three performances in June. Featuring more than six decades of hits from legendary male vocal groups, LIGMC’s “Let’s Hear It For The Boys” concerts are scheduled for Friday, June 8th at the Cathedral of the Incarnation, 50 Cathedral Ave., Garden City, and Saturday, June 9th at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship at Stony Brook, 380 Nicolls Road (CR 97) in Stony Brook. Showtime for those concerts is 8 p.m. For the first time, the chorus will also take the stage in Huntington village at St. John’s Episcopal Church, 12 Prospect St., Huntington on Sunday, June 10. Showtime is 7 p.m. “Our members have worked diligently to prepare an eclectic selection
of music’s greatest hits for the concert stage,” LIGMC board President Bradley Meek said. “This is a very special year for the Long Island Gay Men’s Chorus, and we are delighted to be celebrating LGBT pride and the unifying power of music in three beautiful venues.” As part of the celebration of LIGMC’s milestone anniversary season, chorus alumni are invited to join performances of “Seize the Day” - from the musical Newsies - and “Lean On Me/ We Shall Overcome.” “The Long Island Gay Men’s Chorus spring concerts are a celebration of the joy and fun music can bring us. This year’s performances continue that decade-long tradition,” Tony Mazza, an LIGMC board member, said. “Let’s hear it for 10 years of beautiful music!” LIGMC artistic director and accompanist Jeanette Cooper, a music educator and theatrical music director, said. Tickets are $25 and available at the door or online at ligmc.org.

From page 3 and power washing the existing monuments. Additionally, a new American flag will be placed on the flagpole prior to Memorial Day, as it is with all other Village-owned flagpoles throughout the community. Four plaques honor those residents who served the country during World War I, the Korean War, Vietnam and Iraq/Afghanistan, a “dedication” plaque pays tribute to a rich heritage of military bases “where soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen lived and trained,” noting that many spent their last days and nights in America on Garden City soil. Another plaque honors those residents who served during World War II and two plaques celebrate Garden City Medal of Honor winners, Lt. Colonel Leon Robert Vance, Jr., who served the country during World War II, and 1st Lieutenant William Bradford Turner, who served during World War I in Ronssoy, France. While in hand-to-hand combat, he saved the lives of fellow soldiers until he was finally surrounded and killed by the enemy. “Preparation for Memorial Day is a solemn duty, and as such, the Village is honored by the role it plays in com-
memorating this day in remembrance of those who died in service to our country,” Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi said. “Our employees take great pride in the maintenance and presentation of this site.” This year’s post-parade ceremonies will also include a re-dedication of two large bronze plaques that once sat in the front entrance of the original Doubleday building on Franklin Avenue. The plaques commemorate those Doubleday employees who served in the Armed Forces during World War I and World War II, and those that perished. When Doubleday departed and a new owner began renovating the building, Garden City resident Cyril Smith, a Vietnam veteran who served with the 82nd Airborne Division, suggested the discarded plaques be relocated. After the plaques were secured, they were moved to the site of The Garden City Historical Society Museum, where they were stored in a visible outdoor display at the entrance to the Society’s consignment shop, the A.T. Stewart Exchange. When approached by Trustee Robert Bolebruch, at the suggestion of Mr. Smith, about relocating the plaques to the Village War Memorial area, the
Historical Society was pleased to participate by releasing the plaques to be installed in a more permanent home. “The Garden City Historical Society is uniquely aware of the importance of preserving this piece of Garden City history and is honored to memorialize the service of the individuals whose names appear on these plaques,” said Brian Pinnola, chairperson of the Historical Society’s Archives Committee. “The Historical Society looks forward to attending the rededication of the plaques at this year’s Memorial Day ceremonies on May 28th.” The Doubleday plaques will join the existing eight plaques in the vicinity of the War Memorial area on Seventh Street, across from the Garden City Hotel. “I thank Cyril Smith for calling our attention to the Doubleday plaques and the Mayor and Board of Trustees for

their support of this historic effort,” Mr. Suozzi said. “Thank you also to our mechanics and Highway Department for mounting and placing these plaques in the vicinity of the existing memorials within such tight time frames.” Walter Hines Page, who served as Doubleday’s original partner in the Doubleday Page publishing business, was responsible for Doubleday’s move from New York City to Garden City. Descendants of Walter Hines Page will attend the ceremony, including Susan Page Trotman and her husband, Stanley. Susan is the great-granddaughter of Walter Hines Page and a granddaughter of Arthur W. Page. Commander Frank Tauches, who recently took over the Post, said his mission is to preserve a legacy. “It’s not a legacy of land. It’s not a legacy of buildings. It’s not a legacy of schools,” he said. “It’s a legacy of people.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Email: Editor@GCNews.com From page 2 easy drive to the store, bank, etc. On Stewart Ave., by the entrance to Roosevelt Field, there is no place to walk to safely nor drive to easily. Right now many seniors will not go near Roosevelt Field over Christmas, weekends, or even certain times of day. The people who would be interested in this site would be parents with children who want to enter our school system. (Our new proposed school tax levy is estimated at increasing over 3.5% -- the highest increase in Nassau County according to Newsday.) Our taxes are high enough! What is the benefit of this 45-foot, four story, massive 150 unit apartment to Garden City? Nothing! But it could be a serious liability. Call the Village and remind the Trustees that they represent their fellow residents and should be looking out for our interest. Our Trustees have no responsibility to allow a builder to maximize his profits at residents’ expense. The scheduled date to vote on this apartment proposal is June 7th. Consider going to the meeting in Village Hall or call the Trustees to say “NO” to this assault on our Village. Cynthia Brown
Not doing a good job
To the Editor: I would like to add my voice to the several Garden City residents who have complained about the very sloppy and careless work being done by Con-Kel, the company hired to ‘clean’ much of our village grassy areas and other green spaces. One of those areas is behind my house, Custer Park. Last fall I took pictures of Con-Kel literally throwing fallen & dead branches into the bushes, and blowing the leaves up against residents’ property. I was unable to open my back gate due to over one foot of piled up rubbish, leaves, twigs, etc. Nothing was cleaned up; everything was just pushed out of view. I know this is also the case in areas along St. James Streets North and South, Grove Street near Brook, and places mentioned in previous letters you have printed. I have pictures available as proof. How much money is the village saving at the expense of the new shabby appearance of our village? We residents pay high taxes for the luxury of living here; of being an incorporated village with employees who take pride in their work. How many Con-Kel workers take the midnight shift to make sure our side-
walks, parking lots and streets are cleared for us in record time? When work needs to be done, or in any emergency, it is our village workers who show up and get the job done and done well. I, as many other residents, am extremely unhappy with the choices being made by village board members. In reading the budget, available on the V.G.C. website, Garden City is financially in very good shape. So why is the care and appearance of it being allowed to deteriorate? Kathleen Joyce
Thoughts and prayers not enough
To the Editor: The saddest quote this week was from a 17-year-old survivor of the latest school shooting. She heard the gunshots from an adjacent classroom at Sante Fe HS in Texas, and fled. She innocently told reporters she was scared, but not shocked. “It’s been happening everywhere. I’ve always kind of felt that eventually it was going to happen here, too.” Her name was Paige Curry, and her statement reflects what American kids from kindergartens to college campuses must now fear on a subconscious level each day that they might get shot in school. The loss of lives is tragic enough, but the loss of innocence and the fact that students across the country feel unsafe each day, is worse. School shootings are the new “normal” in America. Children of all ages are not surprised anymore. I was with teenagers this weekend. They barely take notice of the ten dead at Santa Fe HS, but the news must reinforce an underlying worry, and need to be alert in school. It bears repeating. If American kids fear being shot in school, the adults have failed on so many levels. If over 70 percent of the country wants stricter, sensible, gun laws, but our politicians (our employees!) are so beholden to special interests like the NRA that they won’t take action - we have failed. Prayers are important - but not enough. The Houston police chief said it best this week, blaming the adults for the ongoing carnage in our schools, and calling for gun control reform immediately, “we adults should be asking God’s forgiveness for our inaction.”. Amen. The usual suspects in Washington are going to blame the 17 year old shooter, who reportedly had been bullied by coaches, a teacher, and some students for being “smelly”, “weird” because he dressed in a black See page 29
29 Email: Editor@GCNews.com From page 28 raincoat with Nazi and Communist patches. There’s certainly a need for a discussion on video games, violence in our culture, bullying, and young men feeling entitled to use force, but the common denominator we can control right now is access to guns. There were a few red flags with this boy, but even if his family had sought help, where would they get it? The same incompetent politicians can’t produce a sensible healthcare plan, and mental health programs are cut, or underfunded, so average Americans can’t afford treatment if they need it. Any hope that President Trump was going to whip Congress into action, end the inertia, and get them to do their jobs, is gone. A comment from a media pundit depicted the hopelessness of our corrupt system, when asked what will lawmakers do in light of the latest shooting: “Nothing - there won’t be an appetite in Washington to go against the NRA in a midterm-election year.” Basically, politicians will screw over the kids and let them worry in school, to keep favor with the NRA and their political donations, while we all stand by and wait for the next school shooting. Broken, inept government, cowardly politicians who work for their donors instead of citizens, and adults who let it all happen. Our young people only know this incompetent America. No wonder they are afraid. Colleen Wende
Inhumane punishment
To the Editor: I recently read in The New York
Times and other newspapers the death sentence given to a teenager in Sudan and which has ignited international outrage. Personally, I respect people’s faith, beliefs, and religions. It is their choice and tradition. However, what happened to this young girl is abominable, horrendous, and even sinister atrocity. The Sudanese girl, Noura Hussein was forced to marry Mohamed Hammad when she was 16 although she had no desire to get married but to finish school. She was an innocent girl, with dreams of her own who enjoyed the company of her girlfriends. She fled her home to live with a relative although according to law and tradition, the marriage contract continued to be valid without her consent. Family pressure and threats eventually persuaded Noura to return home. Her parents and family forced her to move with Mr. Hammad in April 2017. What followed on May 2nd, 2017, is truly behind any normal human comprehension but rather, resembling an act committed by a beast with a distorted brain, cruelty and empty heart . It was on that day that he, Mohamed, raped her as three members of his family held her down. The following morning, he again tried to rape her but she grabbed a knife and fatally stabbed him. She was found guilty and the tribunal sentenced her to death. This is not an isolated case since the Sudanese government fully and strongly implements ‘sharia laws’. Civilized, normal human beings don’t treat innocent people that way. To the contrary, in a real, truly, civilized world, people such as Noura are or should be treated with dignity, courage and love. Let’s pray and also
DO something for Noura. Yes, we can raise our voices in the right direction and to those in power! Antonio Moreno
Tappan Zee Bridge cost overruns
To the Editor: Motorists and taxpayers now have more reason to be concerned regarding how New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo will find several billion to pay for construction of the new Mario Cuomo Tappan Zee Bridge. He previously claimed it was finished on time and on budget, which was not the case. The final price tag may have gone up even more. The project contractor is now seeking up to $900 million more in additional reimbursement for costs incurred during construction. This includes overtime for project schedule acceleration and change orders to the base contract for additional work. The $900 million is on top of the previous $2.6 billion outstanding balance of $3.9 billion needed to pay for the Tappan Zee. There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch, or in this case, construction of a bridge. At the end of the day, someone has to pay. The Citizens Budget Commission previously reported that tolls on the new bridge will likely increase from $5.00 to $10.50 after 2020. Even if the New York State Thruway Authority is successful in negotiating an amount less $900 million, there is only $548 million included in project budget for contingency. How much of the contingency dollars have already been spent for previously approved contract change orders? There is no additional funding included within the existing project budget or recently adopted new $168 billion 2018 - 2019 state budget to cover these unanticipated final costs. Tolls
may have to either go up earlier than 2020 or be increased even more than the previously predicted. Governor Cuomo made a cold political calculation by promising not to raise the tolls when running for another term in 2018 or president in 2020 (the world’s worst kept secret). To pay back the $1.6 billion dollar federal loan and $1 billion New York Thruway Authority Bond which helped finance the new $3.9 billion Tappan Zee Bridge along with up to $900 million in final bills to the contractor, tolls will have to go up by double or more over several years. The well respected Moody’s Investment Services previously estimated the tolls will go up to $7.60 by 2021 and $15 by 2026 for the Thruway Authority to be able to pay back the loan, bond and now up to $900 million more in contractor final payment claims. It is time for Governor Cuomo to direct the New York State Economic Development Corporation to stop wasting millions of dollars in feel good ads, which include promoting the new Tappan Zee. These dollars might be better spent as a down payment to help cover the remaining billions in costs. It is a safe bet Cuomo will exit Albany leaving taxpayers and commuters to pay higher fares, taxes and tolls in coming years for a total final project cost closer to $5 than $3.5 billion to cover his tab.

GCPD bring serial rapist to justice
From page 1 ted five acts of public lewdness in Garden City. In four of the five incidents, the defendant exposed himself to women while asking for directions. In the first incident, he put on a woman’s wig, bra, yoga pants, makeup, and approached a woman, asked her for directions, exposed himself and urinated on her until she fought him off and got in her car. At the time of his arrest by the Garden City Police Department on January 19, 2017, the defendant allegedly admitted
to possessing child pornography. A subsequent search of his home resulted in the seizure of more than a thousand images and videos of child pornography on computers, external hard drives and a cell phone. Additionally, two computer files containing information on the sexual assaults of two unconscious women were said to have been found. During the investigation, police discovered that the defendant raped and sexually assaulted an unconscious woman inside apartments in the Murray
Hill and Gramercy neighborhoods of Manhattan on eight occasions in 2010, and recorded and photographed the sexual assaults. The defendant further allegedly recorded and photographed himself raping and sexually assaulting a second unconscious woman inside an apartment on the Upper East Side on five occasions in 2013. Those cases were transferred to the New York County District Attorney’s Office. Following a guilty plea in Manhattan Criminal Court to one count of Rape in
the First Degree, (a B violent felony) and Sexual Abuse in the First Degree (a D violent felony), the defendant was sentenced to ten years in prison on April 13. His sentence of 1-1/3 years to four years in prison in the Nassau case will run concurrently to the Manhattan case. The NCDA thanked the Garden City Police Department and Detective Kevin Madden for their assistance in this case.
Library Board considers new security plans
From page 1
implementation. One idea is creating a flow chart to diagram who is in charge in the event of an emergency at the GCPL building on Seventh Street. Trepp has also suggested a ‘Disaster Plan Procedure’ with an evacuation route map to be developed for each of the library’s departments. He suggests the library hold quarterly staff meetings at GCPL to plan practice drills for fire and active shooter situations, and review emergency evacuation procedures in each floor and department. Colahan said there were a few areas of the security planning that could be discussed in a GCPL Board executive session with an attorney present, such as relocation of the library’s safe to be “out of sight.” He notes that there is almost nothing in the library safe as payroll and transactions go through the Village of Garden City Finance department, and there is virtually no cash stored in the library. “But we should do some of this safety plan immediately – creating an evacuation route map seems like a no-brainer. We should go ahead and do it,” Colahan said, as his fellow library board members concurred. A sample evacuation route map was printed with the Library Board of Trustees’ meeting agenda for May 14 but it was not a diagram of the actual Garden City building. Emergency Exit signs is another aspect Trepp and Sgt. Grimes prioritized for GCPL, and Chairman Colahan lauded the idea and said there would not be much cost involved for the purchase. One new sign near the Children’s Department would signal to use the employee entrance on the building’s west side in the event of an emergency. Another location for an Emergency Exit he suggests is over the door leaving the Children’s Department and toward the Library Administration hallway. A third would be on the second floor of GCPL, above the door leading to restrooms to indicate the catwalk. Sgt. Grimes and Trepp also propose a Lost Child Procedure for GCPL to institute. It would consist of locking down all GCPL entrances and exits, having
an overhead announcement throughout the library and stationing staff members at each exit of the building. “We were looking principally for security areas but while we were looking I suggested some fire safety things. Some suggestions are fire safety plans, such as the evacuation maps for each area of the library. The plan should be posted and distributed to GCPL staff, so they know ways to get out and each feasible exit from each room, for example the teen room, or the A/V and computer room downstairs. There are several exits from this building downstairs and coming up the stairs we noticed there’s no sign to exit. We need to print and post exiting left or right,” Trepp told the GCPL Board last week. Colahan said a few months earlier when he toured GCPL, the focus was more on police and emergency situations related to Parkland and other national shootings’ issues. “One of the keys then and remaining is the training component. We spoke with Nassau Library System (NLS) and NLS does offer training for our staff. I think it is not a cost and we should now organize that. We should organize training and staff will know what happens and be able to prepare and establish emergency protocols,” he said. But Trepp said the NLS may not offer specific evacuation and fire emergency preparedness training and the next step might be preparing staff with assistance from the Garden City Fire Department. The GCPL Board approved a motion for library administration to continue working with the Nassau Library System, the Garden City Police and the Garden City Fire Department to “set up emergency planning.” Chairman Colahan said there should not be much, if any, cost to the library or village for this. Two policies the consultant and the GCPD sergeant mentioned for GCPL’s plans include sexual harassment awareness, to add clarity and definitions including annual reviews with staff, and a ‘hostile work environment’ policy. The suggestions from Grimes and
Trepp indicate the GCPL Board should follow the Village of Garden City handbook for specific policy wording. In his comprehensive efforts to help the village’s library operations, Trepp has met with the library staff here the full GCPL Board of Trustees, the subcommittee of GCPL Board Vice President Gloria Weinrich and Lola Nouryan, as well as another meeting with six members of the Friends of Garden City Public Library. Chairman Colahan said Trepp will be meeting with Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi “when we finally have narrowed down to a candidate for the director role.” Barbara Moore, an EPOA director and a retired school principal, asked if this was the first time the Library Board of Trustees hired a consultant to help evaluate candidates for the position of GCPL director, and she noted the many other contributions Trepp is making to the Board on its strategies and some projects. Colahan explained the recent decade of hiring for the position, and the handful of times the GCPL Board has turned to a consultant as it searched for a new director. Also on May 14 the GCPL Board evaluated a proposal for staying within the Nassau Library System’s catalog and check-in/check-out listing – Automated Library Information System (ALIS) -which GCPL computer support specialist Joe Agolia told library administration he is in favor of. Trepp said the GCPL Board has been able to review the new NLS agreement but in July there will be aggregate input received by NLS from member libraries. He describes the contract as ‘an amalgam of all the agreements pre-existing’ including the NLS contract with ALIS and ALIS contracts with member libraries. “Then, they will alter the contract according to the input. It is far costlier to run your own system as you’d (GCPL) would have to purchase a central processing unit as equipment and then hire staff to operate it. It is far more cost effective to go with the Nassau County Library system’s ALIS consortium. There are only two independent
libraries with their own systems, not ALIS – Syosset and Great Neck – and I believe Bayville is independent of NLS but run on a school library system,” Trepp explained. A list with links to every Nassau County ALIS Library is available on NassauLibrary.org/members. The GCPL Board voted in favor of remaining with the NLS system. Trepp says the final version of the contract will come up for the Board to review again in summer. Last week the GCPL Board considered adoption of a new policy regarding gifts made to the library staff, and a limit or restriction to establish. The policy was drafted by Peter Fishbein of Village Attorney Peter Bee’s firm, Bee, Ready, Fishbein, Hatter & Donovan LLP. Weinrich said the New York State Civil Service has $75.00 as the limit for gifts and the policy, as drafted, took that amount out, so no library staff are to accept gifts of any amount – “they won’t accept gifts.” Chairman Colahan said the policy should be reviewed when Fishbein met with the GCPL Board later in the evening on May 14 in an executive session, when he was scheduled to discuss other matters with library trustees.
Friends Book Sale Success
The Friends of Garden City Public Library enjoyed a successful spring book sale on the first weekend of May, including a special presale event for Friends members on Thursday, May 3 from 5 pm to 8 pm. Friends of GCPL President Nancy Minett said $4,213 was raised with the event much more than the usual $2,000-range totals from prior Friends’ sales. The Library Board listened to the benefits of the book sale having both an extra room of offerings for the first time, plus an additional night on the Thursday preceding the May 5-6 sale weekend. The November 2017 Friends’ Book Sale also featured the full weekend, Saturday and Sunday, for patrons. The Friends of GCPL last met on Wednesday night, May 18, and their meeting in mid-June will be public “year-end” meeting.

Nancy Burpee has been swimming competitively all her life. Not only against other elite swimmers, but also against a rare connective tissue disease. Then she faced her greatest challenge: lung cancer. Nancy was told she faced a choice: either major invasive surgery or wait and see if the tumor would shrink. Instead, she turned to NYU Winthrop Hospital and Dr. Laurence Spier, one of the country’s top robotic lung surgeons. Dr. Spier not only removed the tumor without removing the entire lung, he was able to “tease” her lung free from the chest wall. Nancy was amazed at the improvement in her breathing and stamina. In just three weeks, she was back in the pool, swimming faster than she had in years. Thanks to NYU Winthrop, Nancy is still competing. And in all the ways that count, she remains undefeated.

Despite the extreme cold weather, a few girl scouts of Troop 1153, who are in second grade at Stratford School, participated in a computer workshop in January. They learned to take initiative and combine their creativity with available facts using technology at the workshop. They experienced and displayed leadership and public-speaking skills while helping and having a lot of fun with one another. They excitedly learned about creating a presentation using different computer resources.
The girls pursued topics of their interest to research information using different websites and how to differentiate between reliable and unreliable sources of information. Then they summarized their work using Microsoft PowerPoint in bullet format and presented it to the class session. Letao Tao created a presentation on dolphins, Sonakshi Arora created one on a type of dinosaur called the troodon, and Fallon Grant recreated memories of a family trip to Seattle.

Western POA welcomes new student ambassadors
Student Katherine Jushchenko, WPOA President Gerry Kelly; Deirdre McVicar (who will be a junior at Garden City High School this fall), WPOA Vice President RoseAnn Vernice; Jessica Toscano (center), who will be a senior at Sacred Heart Academy this fall; father and son T.J. and Mark Michon; second to right is Will Welch, currently a junior at Chaminade; and far right is Harry Murphy, currently a sophomore at Garden City High School. BY RIKKI N. MASSAND At the WPOA’s Wednesday, May 9th Officers and Directors’ meeting at the Golf Club Lane senior center, President Gerry Kelly provided each of the five 2018-2019 student ambassadors with a list of the upcoming Board of Trustees’ and other municipal meetings in the upcoming next few weeks and months.
Students are encouraged to attend the meeting of their choice and to stay for an hour or so to gain an understanding of the Village of Garden City’s functions and processes as a municipality. For example, Kelly encouraged each student to consider a subject they have an interest in, from sports and recreation and attending a Rec. Commission meeting

to concerns over the environment and attending the monthly meeting of the Environmental Advisory Board, as new EAB chair Trustee Robert Bolebruch was at the May 9th meeting seated a few rows behind the students. The WPOA president will be making the effort to attend village meetings and participate frequently, and the first student volunteer already attended the Board of Trustees’ May 10th meeting for which Kelly was in attendance. “Most municipal boards and commissions meet at Village Hall, with an exception being the Recreation Commission meetings at the senior center. Choose the flavor that you want, as we look at the different Garden City meetings and gatherings. In the beginning of this yearlong ambassador program, we’d like you to experience one or two meetings because by September the school year starts. Getting to one or two meetings now and keeping a little journal of each event you attend is the first part of an ambassador responsibility. Also the WPOA will be having outreach activities and you could help with, volunteer to make flyers and help with committee work. The more people that volunteer, the more that can get done very quickly. It is good work,” he said at the May 9th meeting. The WPOA has targeted “Meet and Greet” community events once a month through summer. Last week, Kelly and the WPOA Board of Directors discussed movie night at the Garden City Pool in late July as well as a weekend picnic in a local park for early to mid-September. Kelly detailed the opportunities for the WPOA student ambassadors to take leading roles with individual special projects, beginning with the formation of the WPOA Information Technology Committee. The student ambassadors will have a chance to work with WPOA Director Tom Rivera on technology
methods and improvements for the POA. “We have many ideas to implement and getting those out into the community is where we need your help. We have not done a newsletter so maybe one focus will be what to do with a newsletter. The EPOA has done a lot with its newsletter and they are a machine, the East has over 850 members. We are going to have 350, and of course working on increasing membership is a priority,” Kelly told the five high school kids. The WPOA’s new volunteer set of student ambassadors offer a wide variety of experience with their own experiences in group settings, collaborations and civic engagement projects. Rising high school senior Jessica Toscano has served as a lector and faith formation teacher for the Parish of St. Agnes and as a workshop leader for Sacred Heart’s Catholic League. In spring 2017, Toscano played the role of Chip in Sacred Heart’s production of Beauty & the Beast. One of her fellow ambassadors for the coming year, Deirdre Vicar, runs track and is on the GCHS Cheer Team. Vicar is also a member of the Peer Educators Program, as GCHS students work to help fellow teens work through issues such as depression, drugs, and alcohol use. Current WPOA student ambassador Mark Michon will not be returning to the same role as he is a proud member of the Garden City High School Class of 2018, now counting down its final days of the school year. But he is staying in Garden City and looking forward to the start of college, although he’s gotten a head start already. Michon informed the News that he will attend St. John’s University this fall and study accounting in the Peter J. Tobin College of Business, as he was able to earn 18 college credits towards his major while still in high school.

Parks cleanup, Vanderbilt Parkway site enhancement continues Employees from both the Public Works and Recreation and Parks Departments combined forces this month to continue prior efforts to clear out overgrowth on the north end of the Stewart Field complex. This area was partially cut back last fall but the Village’s more recent efforts were much more extensive in eliminating the heavy components of the overgrowth. “Our crews attacked the area with some heavy equipment in order to dig up roots and other material,” Mayor Brian Daughney said. A finer grading of this newly cleared area is being performed and grass seed is being put down to create coverage that is more in line with the character and use of the surrounding parkland. The area is located next to the first base
line of the newly created 75-foot baseball and softball field and continues all along the north side of Stewart Field. To the north of the visible fence is an area of Nassau County-owned land formerly part of the original Vanderbilt Motor Parkway. The Village has proposed to the County that they enter into a long-term arrangement so that the Village can use that area for additional parking for Stewart Field while also promoting the historic site. Several years ago, the County had expressed interest in promoting the history of the Vanderbilt Motor Parkway throughout the County. On the Village side, the Board of Trustees desires to address the severe parking shortage that exists at Stewart Field in the existing lot. Village historian William Bellmer

and fellow resident Cyril Smith have been instrumental over the years in getting markers placed throughout the Village to highlight historical sites, including the Long Island Motor Parkway toll lodge, now the Chamber of Commerce building on Seventh Street. In 1908, William K. Vanderbilt, an early motor car enthusiast and auto racer, built the Long Island Motor Parkway. It was the first concrete highway in America, and its first toll road. It ran from Flushing, Queens to Ronkonkoma in Suffolk and passed through Garden City. Mr. Vanderbilt used portions of it for the famous Vanderbilt Cup Races in 1908-10. The Garden City segment lies between Clinton Road and Raymond Court. The main office for the motor
parkway still exists and is located off Clinton Road on Vanderbilt Court and is now a private residence located just north of Stewart School. Visible from Clinton Road, just north of Vanderbilt Court, there is a berm now tree covered. It was manmade as the approach grade for the Clinton Road Bridge, which carried the Parkway over Clinton Road. “We would like to install a double gate entry onto Stewart Field and install markers and other visual materials to highlight the historic elements of the Long Island Motor Parkway in some manner that will bring another historic feature to the Village while also helping to serve a practical application for overflow parking on weekends,” Public Works Superintendent Joseph DiFrancisco said.

Coffee & Tea By the Book: Love and Ruin
Garden City Public Library Wednesday, July 18th, @ 9:30 a.m. In Person Registration: Tuesday, June 19th, @ 9:30 a.m. In person registration for Garden City Library cardholders begins on Tuesday, June 19th at the Reference Desk of the Library for the next Coffee & Tea by the Book discussion. The program will be held on Wednesday, July 18th on the Lower Level at 9:30 a.m. sharp. Librarians Laura Flanagan and Ann Garnett will moderate a discussion of Love and Ruin by Paula McLain. After the success of The Paris Wife — which gave the floor to Hadley Richardson and Pauline Pfeiffer, the first two wives of Ernest Hemingway — Paula McLain has returned with Love and Ruin, a novel about wife No. 3: the reporter and novelist Martha Gellhorn. The book is fueled by Martha’s questing
spirit, which asks why must a woman decide between being a war correspondent and a wife in her husband’s bed? If we ignore the white whale that is Ernest, this novel questions how to combine romantic desire with a drive to live for yourself. It’s a quandary, both for McLain and her fiery protagonist, and the solution isn’t easy. You can pick up a copy of the book Love and Ruin when you register at the Reference Desk. Copies of The Paris Wife will also be available at the Reference Desk for those who have not read it or would like to re-read it. You are welcome to bring your own coffee or tea. In person registration on June 19th is limited to Garden City Public Library cardholders. Non Garden City residents may register beginning July11th if space is available.

New field space planned for St. Paul’s ahead of redesign From page 14 direction is another option for fall 2018. “Gaining that 90 feet brings in all different options of how we map out St. Paul’s fields. The problem is during the whole growing season for turf, these grounds are open for play. There is no rotation on those two lacrosse fields and in that one crease, from April through the fall when grass wants to grow the fields are used,” Messner said. To plan for potentially reconfiguring the fields, he has been working with a draftsman in the village’s engineering department, with GoogleMaps and by viewing the village GIS systems. The new fields’ proposal in front of the Rec. Commission last week was seen as a precursor of a major plan for St. Paul’s going before the Village Board of Trustees, coming up nearly 10 months after consultants from three prominent Manhattan architecture and design firms were engaged for studying a re-use of St. Paul’s for a $100,000 sum, approved by the Board last year. At the Board’s October 5, 2017 meeting the initial $60,000 to hire Beyer, Blinder, Belle (BBB) and Eight, Inc., both with offices located on Broadway, and Thornton Tomasetti of Madison Avenue, was supplanted with another $40,000 allocation. Members of the Garden City Historical Society who advocate for an adaptive re-use of the main St. Paul’s school building and open community dialogue on the upcoming proposal were present at that meeting and again in front of the Village Board in April; the proposal due to the Board of Trustees from the three firms was originally planned to be submitted by December 31, 2017. The Historical Society and many residents have waited for six months to learn more about the potential for the St. Paul’s buildings and grounds, and June stirs a chance at progress. When residents Brian Pinnola and Maureen Dellacona asked about the likelihood of a presentation happening in the near future, Trustee Louis Minuto’s response included the
note that “we are a couple of weeks away” referring to the proposal from the three firms he knows well. As reported in The Garden City News on May 4, 2018, Mayor Brian Daughney told Dellacona in the coming weeks, once the Board receives a report from the three New York architectural firms, the Board will evaluate it and then “hopefully get it out to everybody.” At the Rec. Commission meeting on May 16, the possibility of St. Paul’s concept being laid out at several meetings throughout the Village of Garden City was established. The Rec. Commission agreed to be in favor of a separate, dedicated presentation taking place for them as a collective body charged with overseeing Recreation and Parks programs, standards and facilities. The Rec. Commission chairman, Kevin Ocker, agreed and said he will present that request to Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi as the presentation schedule was developed. He says the Commission, as a group of six experienced volunteers and himself as Recreation department head and chair, “will have input on some things with the proposal that might be helpful.” If the Rec. Commission does receive a presentation date the meeting will be open for the public to attend. Commission member Judy Courtney said the potential for Recreation and Parks exists to manage and run a new, revamped and reimagined facility and “how it is going to be shared” among sports and other groups that would utilize the space. She thought originally there was an approval process the Rec. Commission would be involved in for the proposal, which was discussed by the Board of Trustees a year ago when its Priorities List for 2017-2018 was published. Now she told the Commission there would not be a form of approval for them to deliberate on, but in summer the Commission will have a chance to preview and comment on the concept. Ocker described the proposal coming forward from the three firms as “a modified plan from the original” which was stated on the Priorities List

as a recreational facility that would accommodate between three and five new turf fields, while maintaining the Stewart Avenue-facing façade and clocktower of St. Paul’s. Walter McKenna, the newest member of the Rec. Commission, said at the EPOA directors’ meeting on May 15 it was shocking for him to see “the way the St. Paul’s plan was viewed as so much more than a Recreation Commission consideration.” “Obviously this is bigger than other village facilities but we have spent millions (the pool, Community Park fields, etc.) and there was the input of residents and various committees. It struck me that the project is well beyond the Commission – I think in terms of it being a facility, it is something that warrants our discussion,” McKenna said. Courtney said that it is commonly known the proposal for St. Paul’s could end up going nowhere in the long run, but the value of the attempt to “figure this out” with a proposal is tremendous. One major aspect of any future facilities for St. Paul’s, its many fields where the Jay Gallagher Lacrosse Tournament took place each June for two decades, and recreation facilities in general in Garden City is the rental revenues each venue contributes to funding operations of the village. Prior to the adoption of the Village of Garden City budget for fiscal year 20182019 (starting on June 1) the Recreation and Parks department had to adjust its final budget request and calculation based on fluctuations in village facility rentals projected from June this year through next May. Ocker says the Fieldhouse revenue had to be increased because there was one more event booked than anticipated to account for, compared with when the budget was being formulated. “If we are not seeing the increase to field rentals we are making up for it with the Fieldhouse, and we are heading in the right direction,” he said at the May 16 meeting.

An Afternoon Tea to warm the heart
Beautiful spring hats brought a rainbow of color and warmth to this year’s Afternoon Tea on April 19th. PHOTOS BY GAIL MADIGAN Although clear blue skies and a warm spring sun were hard to find on April 19th, the warmth within Garden City High School’s cafeteria was hard to miss. With its highest number of ticket requests to date, Garden City Public School’s Ninth Annual Afternoon Tea welcomed senior citizens and past parents for two hours of warm conversation, wonderful musical performances, and delicious Afternoon Tea fare served by 60 student server volunteers from Garden City High School and Garden City Middle School. Setting the scene, there was no shortage of beautiful spring hats in all shapes and sizes worn by the Tea guests vying for the top Ladies Hat Contest prizes. With the cafeteria’s colorful spring garden setting of pastel-clothed tables and teapot centerpieces framed against dozens of K-12 artworks by the District’s talented students, attending ladies and gentlemen were treated to gourmet teas, finger sandwiches, scones, and yummy desserts. It was a festive and joyful afternoon for all!
The Tea kicked off by honoring Garden City’s Veterans, who received a heartfelt round of applause and carnation boutonnieres courtesy of the GC PTA and SEPTA. Also honored were Jack and Althea Robinson, Garden City’s longest continuous residents (Jack was born in the house the couple still resides in). Many know Althea as the 39-year executive director of the Garden City Chamber of Commerce, and by her boundless energy for volunteer community service work with multiple local organizations. In a new tradition, the Tea honored former district teachers who still reside in the Village: Barbara Smith, president of GC’s Retired Teachers’ Association and former GCMS music teacher; and Anne Carter, a retired reading teacher who served at Stewart School. The District thanks these educators for their work with Garden City’s students and for gracing this year’s event with their presence. Another very special guest was introduced to the community at this year’s Tea – incoming Superintendent of Schools Dr. Kusum Sinha. Dr. Sinha,

GCAA Softball is halfway through its best season in years!
Commissioners League 10U Team practices in the rain After last weeks weather, it might not feel like spring has been cooperating, but surprisingly, GCAA Softball has completed more games this spring by Memorial Day, then each of the prior three springs. Our K-1 Level teams have been rolling now stop through their Monday afternoon clinics and coaches Setiadi, Doherty, Trimarchi, and Bennett (also program coordinator
have put together an all new structure and style program that is winning with players and parents. Later in June, the players will be invited to a sponsored skills clinic run by our collegiate expert partners in lieu of regularly scheduled Monday clinic at Nassau Haven Park. At the 2nd-3rd grade level, players are learning to pitch independently without the coaches’ assistance, and
will be showcasing their hard work at Softball-a-Palooza, where players will play full player pitch only games for the first time all season, getting ready to move to the next level. This age bracket will also be invited to sponsored skills clinics taking place in June in lieu of regularly scheduled games. Thanks to consistent effort from coaches Cabral, Hearon, Hershkovitz, Karol (coordinator-coach), and Laufer, teams have improved dramatically with each week. Our 4-5th grade level is a hybrid rec-travel league and plays other towns around Nassau County. Coaches Santopietro, Coons, Ingersoll, and Power have navigated tough weather to ensure seasons have stayed on track, and have put up more combined wins in the regular season than each of our last few years. Additionally, this year we have continued our inclusion in the Special Invitational Commissioner’s League Tournament for Carle Place, Port Washington, East Williston, and Garden City. Congratulations and good luck to: Kayla Cherney, Juliana Clyne, Zella Coons, Delaney Gorman, Katy Grimpel, Emily Ingersoll, Maggie McCann, Chloe Mirabella, Caitlyn Powell, Grace Power, Kaitlyn Santopietro, Kate Scuderi, and Ellie Stier. Our 6-7th grade level is coached by seasoned coaches Donohue and McNally, and also play a travel schedule around Nassau County. These two teams are both entirely populated by dedicated All-Star players who will like-
ly continue (or already beginning) as our future stars of Garden City Middle School softball program. This year, special thanks to the entire team at Garden City Recreation Department for adjusting resources and attention ensuring GCAA Softball teams have adequate softball fields, which differ from baseball fields. Softball fields are required to be all-dirt (skinned) infield, and pitchers have a flat pitching area with a pitcher’s plate, surrounded by a circle rather than a pitcher’s mound. As competition improves, it becomes crucial to play on proper surface for both safety and gameplay, as the larger softball rolls better on skinned fields and results in faster infield action. Special thanks also to the Garden City School District who makes the school fields available for our use when school teams aren’t scheduled to play GCAA will be hosting “Softball-aPalooza” on the weekend of Saturday June 23rd (with a June 24th rain day) at Garden City Community Park Fields and Pavilion. Full details are up on the website now. Additional details about the program, clinics and fundraisers can also be found on our website: http:// www.leaguelineup.com/welcome. asp?url=gcaasoftball GCAA has run baseball in Garden City since 1955 and softball shortly thereafter.

DAR Chapter hosts Mark Twain at Luncheon
Chapter Regent Leslie Dimmling meets Robert Alvey, aka “Mark Twain” prior to his program at the chapter’s Philanthropic Luncheon. The Colonel Aaron Ogden Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, held their annual Philanthropic Luncheon on April 27th at beautiful Westbury Manor. More than 70 people attended. The funds raised at the event support the Chapter’s charitable efforts. The DAR has a focus on patriotism, education and historic preservation. The Luncheon speaker was Garden City resident Robert Alvey, a well known Mark Twain reenactor. Alvey bears a startling resemblance to the famous American. Wearing a white suit, with a shock of white hair, and holding a cigar, Alvey became Twain in truth, with his Missouri-twanged speech carrying his audience back in time. Wrapping himself in the persona of Mark Twain, the historic figure came vividly to life as the famous writer and humorist regaled those attending with interesting incidents from Twain’s life and distinguished career. Alvey’s
presentation was the highlight of the Luncheon. The Chapter took the opportunity to encourage those attending to help do some community outreach at their function. In this vein, DAR Schools Chairman Carla Hall D’Ambra took up a collection of school supplies for a DAR supported school in Alabama. American Indians Chairman Abagael Fagan crafted a hand sewn quilt in patriotic colors. Proceeds from that quilt raised several hundred dollars, enough funds to provide a scholarship to send a Native American child to American Indian Youth Summer Camp this summer. Finally, those attending were favored with a reading of Longfellow’s famous poem, “Paul Revere’s Midnight Ride” by Regent Leslie Dimmling. This is an annual tradition at the luncheon, and this year’s reading marked the 243rd anniversary of the event.

A Potpourri of Summer Family Vacations Continued from page D1 recommend the Danube Bike Trail, Passau to Vienna, which I did with my sons – one of the best trips of my life. You can do it as a self-guided tour – it is very easy to follow, and that gives you more control over your schedule, as well as excellent value. BikeTours. com also offers an itinerary specially tailored for families with children (1222 Tremont Street, Chattanooga, TN 37377 ,877-462-2423, 423-756-8907, info@ biketours.com, biketours.com). We’ve also recommended outstanding biketours close at home that do good while giving everybody a great time: Parks & Trails NY, which offers the annual 8-day 400-mile Cycle the Erie ride, which is a camping and biking adventure that draws families with tiny tots in tow, as well as selfpedalers as young as 10 years old. A major highlight is camping out at Fort Stanwix, Rome NY, an 18th century living-history experience. (Parks & Trails New York at 518-434-1583 or visit www.ptny.org). Similarly Rails-to-Trails Conservancy (202-974-5150, Railstotrails. org, TrailLink.com) sponsors an annual Sojourn supported biketour that showcases bikeways that have been converted from old rail lines; their annual ride is organized by Wilderness Voyageurs, which offers Ride the GAP trips with bed-and-breakfast accommodations (they portage luggage from inn to inn), as well as a full catalog of guided bike tours that includes Colorado; Missouri’s Katy Trail; Idaho’s Hiawatha & Coeur D’Alene; South Dakota’s Mickelson & the Badlands; the Erie Canal, Finger Lakes, and Adirondacks in New York; Shenandoah and the Civil War; Gettysburg & the
Civil War; Maryland’s Chesapeake Bay; Pittsburgh to DC on the GAP & C&O; Pennslvania’s Amish Country; Kentucky’s Bike & Bourbon; Georgia’s Gold Coast; and a biking trip in Cuba. (855-550-7705, Wilderness-Voyageurs. com) Camping: Camping has really changed over time, frequently offering a range of experiences from rustic adventures to resort-style all in the same venue. Kampgrounds of America, with 485 locations in North America, makes it easy to find camping resorts by destination, amenities and programming (www.KOA.com). We have a personal favorite: the Herkimer Diamond Mines KOA is a true camping resort, set along a creek (tubing, fishing) and close by the Erie Canal (cruises, biking), and most unique of all, a chance to mine for Herkimer diamonds! The Herkimer KOA offers unbelievably delightful themed cabins (would you believe a cabin with its own planetarium?), fabulous activities. Choose a cabin, cottage or RV or tent site. (Herkimer Diamond KOA, 4626 State Route 28, Herkimer, NY 13350, 315-891-7355, E-mail: hdmkoa@ntcnet. com, www.herkimerdiamond.com; mining info at 315-717-0175,diamonds@ ntcnet.com.) The most intriguing in my book is the full-service Lion Country Safari’s award winning KOA campground located adjacent to a 320 acre drive through wild animal preserve and theme park, yet secluded enough for a restful campout (though you are apt to hear the lions roaring), offering RV sites, tent sites and rustic cabins (http:// www.lioncountrysafari.com/koa/, 561793-1084).

It has its roots as a campground, but while there are still 100 RV, travel trailer and tent sites available, it is a well-equipped resort affording small two-bedroom cabins, with a mile of sandy beach, an 18-hole, par-72 championship golf course that is hailed as one of the finest in Maine. There is a full activities program for kids and families - like a summer camp - with camp counselors, mini-golf, arts and crafts, kayaking, canoe races, boat rentals, fishing, swimming, sand volleyball, shuffleboard, golf, tennis, basketball, games, happy hours with entertainment and free hors d’oeuvres, nightly entertainment for families and adults, dancing, shows, and s’mores by the campfire, free wireless internet access. Also, great bass and landlocked salmon fishing. The resort is next to Maine State Park at Sebago Park where there are hiking trails.

It’s time for applause on Graduation Day! BY CLAIRE LYNCH One of my nieces will graduate from law school on June 3 and I am so proud of her. Here she is, ready for Graduation Day! The road through college and law school has been a long seven years and yet it seems like yesterday since we hugged and kissed Shannon then waved goodbye to her as she went off to college in upstate New York. I watched her parents help Shannon deal with college roommate issues, dormitory questions and meal plan issues since Shannon is a vegetarian. I heard about Shannon’s late night cramming for final exams, the new friends she made from various different cities, her snowball fights in the wintertime with friends on their off hours and ice skating on local ponds.

Questions About Delayed Retirement Credits BY TOM MARGENAU
All of today’s questions involve the payment of what are known as “delayed retirement credits.” This is an incentive built into the law that augments the monthly Social Security checks of anyone who delays claiming Social Security benefits beyond their normal full retirement age. The maximum extra credit is 32 percent for people who wait until age 70 before signing up for Social Security. Q: I just turned 68 yesterday. I was planning to wait until I turned 70 to apply for my Social Security benefits. I wanted to get the 32 percent bonus for doing that. But I recently got bad news. I have cancer and my prognosis for a long life isn’t good. So now I want to start my Social Security checks right away. Will I be forfeiting my chance to get the bonus because I’m not going to wait until age 70 to file? A: Sorry to hear the bad news about your health prospects. The small bit of good news I can share is that you didn’t mess up your chances to get augmented Social Security benefits. That’s because it is not a flat 32 percent bonus for waiting until age 70. You actually get a two-thirds of one percent credit for each month you delay after age 66. So, if you sign up for Social Security now, you would get an extra 16 percent added to your monthly benefits. (Twenty-four months times two-thirds of one percent equals 16 percent.) But if I were you, I’d strongly consider another option. When you sign up for Social Security after age 66, you can claim up to 6 months in retroactive benefits. In other words, you could say you want the month you turned age 67 and a half to be the starting date for your Social Security checks. You would still get 12 percent worth of delayed retirement credits added to your monthly benefits -- and you’d get a nice big backpay check. Q: I decided to keep working and delay taking my Social Security benefits until age 70. I am now 68 years old. I have been afraid to take a vacation since turning 66 because I understand I will not get the 32 percent bonus if there are any months between age 66 and 70 that I am not working. I also live in fear that I will lose this job before I turn 70 and thus forfeit the bonus for that reason. Do you have any advice for me? A: Yes, my advice would be to stop worrying -- and for goodness sake, take a vacation! If you wait until age 70 to file for your Social Security benefits, you will get the delayed retirement credit of 32 percent added to your Social Security checks -- just because you waited that long to sign up for Social Security. Getting that extra boost in your monthly checks has
absolutely nothing to do with working between age 66 and 70. In other words, you would get the bonus whether you spend those four years working your tail off every day or sitting on the beach doing nothing. Q: I am 67 years old. I planned to keep working at least until age 70 and not file for my Social Security until then. But I have a 28-yearold son living at home who has been severely disabled since birth. Because he is an adult, I didn’t think he would be due any of my Social Security. But a neighbor told me he is. If he is, can my son get some of my Social Security now even though I’m still working and not ready to claim benefits myself? A: Your neighbor is right. Your son is eligible for what are known as “disabled adult child” benefits on your record. But he can’t get any benefits on your record until you are getting them yourself. You’ve got several options and a decision to make. You could sign up for Social Security right now. You’d get at least an 8 percent augmented retirement benefit, depending on how many months past age 67 you are. And your son would get an amount equal to 50 percent of your age 66 rate. He doesn’t share in those delayed retirement credits. Although, when you die, his survivor’s benefit (which is at a 75 percent rate) would be based on your full augmented benefit. Or you could file now and claim 6 months of retroactive benefits for both you and your son. That would be a mighty handsome back-pay check, but it would include fewer delayed retirement credits for you. Your third option initially sounds the least attractive. You could still wait until you are 70 to apply for Social Security. At that point, you would get 132 percent of your retirement benefit, and your son would get an amount equal to half of your age 66 rate. But the upside to this scenario is that upon your death, your son would get higher survivor’s benefits. He would get 75 percent of your fully augmented 132 percent retirement rate. Q: I turned 69 in April and signed up for my Social Security. The Social Security rep told me I wouldn’t get my delayed retirement credits until next year. But after mulling that over, I called and talked to another rep who told me I would get all of my credits in my first check. So who is right? A: Actually, they are both wrong. The rules generally say that if you sign up for Social Security between age 66 and 70, you can’t get the delayed retirement credits you are due for any months within a year -- until the year is over. So your initial benefit rate will include the delayed retirement credits you earned
for the months from April 2015 (when you turned age 66) through December 2017. And then sometime in early 2019, they will add in the credits you are due for January through April 2018.

It’s time for applause on Graduation Day! C ontinued from page D3 born here on Long Island. I watched her grow, watched her as a six-year-old read to her younger brother, Todd. I watched her become a Daisy Girl Scout, watched her go through elementary school, middle school and high school. I saw her take in five abandoned kittens and their mother then go around her neighborhood finding homes for all but one of them. She kept one. Most times I’ve seen Shannon at family get-togethers for birthday parties, anniversary parties, etc., at her relaxed times, but I’ve also seen her when she’s focused and concentrating. So I’m not surprised that she is about to become a full-fledged attorney. Like all of her relatives I am very proud of her accomplishments and I look forward to seeing where her life will take her. Will she become a courtroom lawyer or a corporate attorney or maybe work in environmental law? Time will tell. Right now I don’t want to overanalyze things. Today is a time for congratulating the graduate in my family. It’s a time for celebrating. The ceremony at St. John’s University Law School in Queens on June 3 is a great time for the whole family to get together and acknowledge her achievement. Even if there are not enough tickets for the ceremony to go around, I will be at St. John’s clapping for all of the graduates and congratulating my niece, Shannon, on her special day. She deserves to bask in the excitement of commencement – and to take in everyone’s praise. I congratulate all of this year’s graduates. Embarking on a course of study can always be daunting but it’s exciting, too. Learning new things is fun. Choosing a major and learning all about it is great. Meeting and sharing ideas with fellow classmates is cool. Deciding whether or not to go on to graduate school, medical school or law school is a tough decision. I know that my niece, Shannon, majored in journalism and spent some time doing some reporting and writing for newspapers. She thought about making a career out of it but chose to go to law school instead. In the months ahead she will have plenty of options professionally. When I graduated from Hofstra University years ago we had a very traditional ceremony. It seemed like everything went according to the plan. Everything was on schedule and on cue. The graduates, friends and families arrived at the John Cranford Adams Playhouse, people took their seats and in time the graduation song by Edward Elgar, “Pomp and Circumstance,” started to play. I’d recognize those familiar strains of the violins, cellos, etc. any-
where. They have a way of calling people to attention. When we graduates were called onto the stage we walked up there, proudly dressed in our caps and gowns. We shook hands with a very important professor or administrator and exited the stage. Once back in my seat I know that I exhaled a long sigh of relief because after years of hard work, I had graduated. I was pleased with myself, pleased with all that I had accomplished and I was basking in the moment. I knew that tomorrow or the following week I could figure out what I would do with the rest of my life but for that very moment, I was happy. One graduation ceremony last year, however, didn’t go exactly as planned. Hunter College student Jerich Alcantara left his home in Queens at 8 a.m. for his 10 a.m. commencement at Hunter’s Brookdale campus thinking that he had plenty of time. In all of his years commuting to Hunter he had never had a major delay. Alcantara and many other New Yorkers on the E train that morning in May were stuck in the tunnel for about four and a half hours because the subway had lost power. Specifically, the emergency brakes went off and the conductors couldn’t fix it for an hour and a half. The commute to school took longer than any others he’s taken in the past four years. What should have been just 40 minutes ended up taking four hours. He missed his graduation at Hunter but when his fellow commuters heard about his predicament, they gave Alcantara an impromptu graduation ceremony – right there on the train. Alcantara was, after all, all decked out in his purple cap and gown. He was ready. In true New York style they improvised. The setting was the subway because hey, you never know! Unexpected things happen occasionally in New York. Later he explained what had happened to Hunter - about why he was so late arriving - and no worries. Alcantara, a nursing school student, received his diploma in the mail a few weeks later and all was well. Jerich Alcantara’s “graduation ceremony” certainly was the most unorthodox one I’ve ever seen - it was captured on cell phone video - or heard of but sometimes in life we have to be very creative individuals. It showed how resilient he was - and how happy he was to celebrate his commencement. As an undergraduate student I took the basic math, biology, Spanish, psychology, philosophy, business courses and liberal arts electives. Then as an English major, I had the chance to take the classes that were interesting to me -
twentieth century American fiction, the British poets, Shakespeare, Chaucer, satire and media. I was in my element with these classes. As a college freshman the classes that I really wanted to take seemed so far away but eventually I got there and really enjoyed the various English classes. I did a journalism internship for 6 credits which I had to document by writing my summaries and impressions. At the end of my final semester I submitted my senior Humanities thesis to my professor on F. Scott Fitzgerald and his many fictional characters. “The Great Gatsby” has always been my favorite book so I was thoroughly interested in the topic I chose. The 1974 movie starring Robert Redford as Jay Gatsby, Mia Farrow as Daisy Buchanan, Bruce Dern as Tom Buchanan and Sam Waterston as Nick Carraway was great! While at Hofstra I took a CLEP (College-Level Examination Program) exam because a friend had told me that if I passed this test, I would be given three college credits. I liked that idea! I elected to take Introductory Sociology since my older sister, Michelle, was a Sociology major and I had easy access to all of her textbooks. I took my time studying for the pass/fail test then signed up to take it. I passed, gained three credits and I was able to start working full-time one semester earlier than I had originally planned. I am a proud Hofstra University graduate and when I applied to Hofstra I inquired about its New College. It’s for those individuals who want to design their own curriculum and have it approved by a professor/mentor. Last year at Commencement Day time I heard various speeches by prominent people to graduates across the country. I was struck by the substance of one person in particular, Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook. He reminded the graduates that this world of ours is constantly changing and there is a need for new inventions to come down the pike. He told the graduates to be aware of their sense of purpose – and to be sure that, in time, they find it. To his parents’ delight, Zuckerberg was accepted as a student at Harvard University for the class of 2006. In fact, his father was so happy that he videotaped Mark Zuckerberg opening his “email acceptance letter” on his laptop that day at home in Westchester County. He dropped out of Harvard after his sophomore year but he took his idea for Facebook from a Harvard dormitory room to the largest social network in the world. In January 2014 someone asked Mark
Zuckerberg about creating Facebook which, he said, took him about two weeks to write the code for in his dorm room. He said, “I remember really vividly, you know, having pizza with my friends a day or two after - I opened up the first version of Facebook at the time and I thought, ‘You know, someone needs to build a service like this for the world.’ But I just never thought that we’d be the ones to help do it. And I think a lot of what it comes down to is we just cared more.” On May 26, 2017, this is some of what Mark Zuckerberg told the graduates in his speech at Harvard University about the subjects of success, failure and entrepreneurship: “Today I want to talk about purpose. But I’m not here to give you the standard commencement about finding your purpose. We’re millennials. We’ll try to do that instinctively. Instead, I’m here to tell you finding your purpose isn’t enough. The challenge for our generation is creating a world where everyone has a sense of purpose. One of my favorite stories is when John F. Kennedy visited the NASA space center, he saw a janitor carrying a broom and he walked over and asked what he was doing. The janitor responded: ‘Mr. President, I’m helping put a man on the moon.’ Finding your purpose isn’t enough. The challenge for our generation is creating a world where everyone has a sense of purpose. Purpose is that sense that we are part of something bigger than ourselves, that we are needed, that we have something better ahead to work for. Purpose is what creates true happiness …” Zuckerberg added, “Let’s take on big meaningful projects. Our generation will have to deal with tens of millions of jobs replaced by automation like self-driving cars and trucks. But we have the potential to do so much more together. Every generation has its defining works. More than 300,000 people worked to put a man on the moon – including that janitor. Millions of volunteers immunized children around the world against polio. Millions of more people built the Hoover dam and other great projects. These projects didn’t just provide purpose for the people doing those jobs, they gave our whole country a sense of pride that we could do great things.” He added, “Ideas don’t come out fully formed. They only become clear as you work on them. You just have to get started …” I offer my congratulations to this year’s graduates. May your futures be filled with peace, happiness, prosperity and lots of luck!

TIPS TO IMPROVE MEMORY
Forgetfulness can affect anyone. For example, few, if any, adults can say they have not experienced moments when they could not find their keys. And once the keys are found, people move on without giving much thought to why they did not immediately remember where they left their keys. Isolated incidents where people cannot recall where they placed their car keys or other minor bouts with forgetfulness do not occur by accident. In fact, the Harvard Medical School notes that they are likely byproducts of age-related changes in thinking skills. When people reach their 50s, chemical and structural changes in the brain may begin to occur, and these changes can affect a person’s ability to process memories. Father Time may be a formidable foe, but people can take steps to give their memories a boost as they get older. • Embrace recognition instead of trusting recall. Dr. Joel Salinas, a neurologist who specializes in behavioral neurology and neuropsychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital, notes that human beings are better at recognition than recall. That means people are more likely to remember something they read, such as a note or a list, than something they’re simply told. • Recognize the value of repetition. The Harvard Medical School notes that people might be more inclined to remember what they hear if they repeat it out loud. Names and addresses might be more easily remembered after they’re repeated out loud because repetition increases the likelihood that the brain will record the information and be capable of retrieving it later. When studying for exams, many students repeat important points to themselves time and again, and that same approach can be applied by adults who are trying to improve their memories. • Eat a healthy diet. A study published in 2015 in the journal Neurology found that people who eat healthy diets with lots of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and fish and little alcohol and red meat may be less likely to experience declines in their memory and thinking skills. Authored by Andrew Smyth of McMaster University in Ontario and the National University of Ireland in Galway, the study following more than 27,000 people in 40 countries for an average of roughly five years. All participants were 55 and older and had diabetes or a history of heart disease, stroke or peripheral artery disease. Those who ate the healthiest diets were 24 percent less likely to experience cognitive decline than people with the least healthy diets. • Break things down. Breaking things down into small chunks also can help improve memory. If tasked with remembering something extensive, such as a speech, focus on a single sentence at a time, only moving on to the next sentence when you’re confident you have successfully committed the preceding sentence to memory. Periodic memory lapses are often nothing to worry about. But men and women concerned about maintaining their memories can employ various strategies to do just that.

How to reduce damage to eyes resulting from prolonged screen time
According to a 2015 report published in the Daily Mail, many people spend more time on their devices than they do sleeping. A recent Nielsen Company audience report also found that adults in the United States devote about 10 hours
and 40 minutes each day to consuming media on their personal computers, tablets, multimedia devices, TVs, and more. Researchers continue to study the effects of screen time on personal health, but there is reason to believe that screen
time may be especially harmful to vision. Devices force the eyes to focus at near range, and over time that can have an adverse effect on vision. Prevent Blindness America says that eye fatigue, dryness and blurred vision are some of the common effects of prolonged screen use, but these are not the only concerns. Digital devices also expose the eyes to blue light. While research as to how blue light impacts vision is ongoing, there is concern over the long-term effects of screen exposure since these screens are in close proximity to the eyes and use is often prolonged. Prevent Blindness America says that studies suggest continued exposure to blue light over time can lead to difficulty focusing, premature aging of the eyes and even damage to retinal cells. A recent study by the National Eye Institute found the frequency of myopia, also known as near-sightedness, has increased exponentially in the last few years. Reasons include a spike in time spent looking at things close-up and a lack of outdoor activities that require focusing elsewhere. The American Academy of Pediatrics notes that a separate study recently found that excessive screen time usage in adolescents was associated with development of
acute onset esotropia, or crossing of the eyes, and that limiting usage of gadgets decreased the degree of eye crossing in these patients. Eyes, just like any other muscle, require a varied workout to remain healthy. Many vision experts recommend the 20-20-20 rule. According to this rule, for every 20 minutes of looking at a screen, a person should look away at an object 20 feet away for 20 seconds or more. This will help eye muscles to relax. The group All About Vision says to use proper lighting, such as ambient lighting. Position a computer monitor so that windows or lights are to the sides instead of in front or behind it. Be sure indoor light isn’t too bright, as bright light can contribute to glare and fatigue. Antireflective lenses on eyeglasses or filters for screens also can help absorb some of the blue light and limit how much reaches the retina and accesses the central nerve of the eye. This may alleviate digital eye strain as well. Screen users may want to adjust the display of their devices so they feature a cool, gray tone, which produces less glare. Eyes can be adversely affected by screen time unless strategies are implemented to limit strain and to rest muscles.
Reduce exposure to harmful VOCs at home Volatile organic compounds are emitted by a vast array of products. The Environmental Protection Agency warns that VOCs consist of gases discharged from solids or liquids that produce short- and longterm health effects. VOCs are particularly troubling because their concentrations are consistently up to 10 times higher indoors than outdoors. Those who spend time inside of homes and businesses may be at risk from concentrated exposure to VOCs. Notable items that produce VOCs include treated woods, carpeting, building materials, paints, waxes, fabrics, and varnishes. Since people are constantly breathing in air, and whatever is circulating within it, it’s important for individuals to be conscious of these common offenders. VOCs can be dangerous because they may cause everything from minor symptoms of headaches, nausea and stuffy noses to more serious conditions like nervous system problems and kidney and liver damage. Some VOCs are known to cause cancer in humans, warns the EPA. To reduce exposure to VOCs, homeowners are advised to take the following steps. • Read product labels carefully for warnings against VOCs. Whenever possible, select products that do not emit VOCs. • Invest in alternative products, such as all-natural cleaning solutions. Many people find that common and safe items like vinegar, citrus oils and baking soda are as effective as chemical cleaners without the same harmful side effects. • Use an air purifier in conjunction with HVAC systems. Purchase an air purifier that specifically filters out odors and VOCs, which can help people with chemical sensitivities. • Rely on natural ventilation when using products
that have strong odors or are suspected of emitting VOCs. This can be as easy as opening windows and doors or doing work outside. • Use a shed rather than an attached garage to store gas cans, pesticides, paint thinners, and other odoriferous materials away from the home. Contact the municipal waste department to learn how to properly dispose of leftover chemical products. • Rethink flooring materials to include carpeting that is low VOC or alternatives such as washable rugs or hard flooring.
• Don’t forget to fill a home with plenty of live plants. A study from researchers at NASA found that certain indoor plants are effective at naturally purifying air. • Exercise caution with dry-cleaned clothes. Perchloroethylene is a chemical most widely used in dry cleaning. Air out dry-cleaned clothes before wearing them, particularly if they have strong chemical odors. Volatile organic compounds can be excreted through various items. Individuals who educate themselves can greatly reduce their exposure to these harmful compounds.

Another novel experience is renting a canalboat on the Erie Canal, tying up where whimsy takes you and exploring the canaltowns on foot and by bike on the tow-path that has been turned into a bikeway. It’s an amazing way to immerse yourself in history, and terrific fun to go through the locks, and have the bridges lift just for you. MidLakes Navigation, Skaneateles, has these specially designed Lockmaster canalboats that are easy to maneuver, very comfortable, and oh so charming.

National Comedy Center to Open in Lucille Ball’s Hometown, Jamestown, NY Jamestown, NY –The National Comedy Center will celebrate its grand opening with appearances by Amy Schumer, Lily Tomlin, Saturday Night Live original season alumni including Dan Aykroyd and more, coinciding with the annual Lucille Ball Comedy Festival, August 1-5 in Jamestown, New York. Featuring more than 50 immersive and interactive exhibits designed by leading museum design firms in the world, the 37,000 square foot National Comedy Center visitor experience tells the story of comedy from its origins through the present and is the first nonprofit cultural institution and nationalscale attraction dedicated to the art of comedy. The opening celebration will feature more than 50 events and 40 artists that include the innovators, creators, and legends of comedy. Emmy Award-Winning Comedian
Amy Schumer will perform Friday, August 3rd with her show “Amy Schumer and Friends” at the Northwest Arena, while comedy legend Lily Tomlin brings “An Evening of Classic Lily Tomlin” center stage at Reg Lenna Center for the Arts on August 4th. “Each of these artists has played a significant role in shaping and redefining comedy as we know it today. From sketch to stand-up to TV to film, the landscape has been forever changed due to the creativity and, frankly, bravery, of Lily Tomlin and Amy Schumer. Laraine Newman, Dan Aykroyd, Garrett Morris and Alan Zweibel challenged the nation’s sensibilities about comedy in what they brought to air in 1975, introducing what became one of the very few cultural phenomena to endure more than four decades,” said National Comedy Center Executive Director Journey Gunderson. On August 2nd, Saturday Night
The National Comedy Center, an interactive and immersive museum with 50 exhibits, opens in Jamestown, NY, Lucille Ball’s hometown, in August.
Live cast members Dan Aykroyd, Laraine Newman and Garrett Morris, along with original writer, Alan Zweibel, will come together at the Reg Lenna Center for the Arts to share stories and laughs in a conversation about the show’s early years. “Offering four brilliant minds from the show that broke the late night television mold is not only a glimpse into the creation of Saturday Night Live but also a sampling of the National Comedy Center‘s core mission to share the story of comedy,” notes Malachi Livermore, Director of Operations and Programming for the National Comedy Center. Continuing an annual series of National Comedy Center dialogues, Violet Ramis Stiel will offer a stage conversation about her new book, “Ghostbuster’s Daughter: Life with My Dad, Harold Ramis.” Festival partner COZI TV will present a very special “Conversation with Fran Drescher” as part of the opening week events. The Nanny star will share insights on her storied life and career influences, including Lucille Ball, on August 3rd. Additional programming includes five comedy showcases featuring comedians with credits including appearances on Colbert, Conan, and Last Comic Standing. The weekend will also feature National Comedy Center dialogues, exhibit unveilings, block parties, free kids’ comedy shows featuring the critically-acclaimed Story Pirates and tribute events honoring the influential careers of the “First Couple of Comedy”, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. Additional events will be added to the lineup in the coming months. The National Comedy Center embodies Lucille Ball’s vision for her hometown of Jamestown, New York to become a destination for the celebration of comedy in a way that educates, fosters and inspires. Design has been
led by the most prominent cultural and interactive design firms in the world whose portfolios collectively include the award-winning 9/11 Memorial Museum, The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, The College Football Hall of Fame, and SNL: The Experience. The $50 million endeavor was made possible by state, federal and private philanthropic support including partnership with I LOVE NEW YORK™, Governor Andrew Cuomo and New York State’s Empire State Development. In a special press briefing at the site on March 30, United States Senator Charles Schumer (who is comedien Amy Schumer’s actual cousin) announced his push for a congressional designation for the Center. The new designation would officially make the National Comedy Center the nation’s cultural institution dedicated to the art of comedy, recognizing it as the only institution of its kind with the mission of preserving, protecting, and showcasing the art of comedy and its role in our culture. The National Comedy Center also operates the Lucille Ball Desi Arnaz Museum, and for the last 25 years has produced the Lucille Ball Comedy Festival with performers including Jerry Seinfeld, Jay Leno, Lewis Black, Trevor Noah, Joan Rivers, Ellen DeGeneres, Paula Poundstone, Nick Offerman, Ray Romano, Bob Newhart, The Smothers Brothers and more than 100 other comedic artists. Located in Jamestown, a city in Chautauqua County and Western New York, the National Comedy Center is in the region of Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Toronto. Tickets may be purchased by visiting NationalComedyCenter.org. by calling 716-484-0800 or visiting the festival box office located at 2 W. 3rd Street, Jamestown, NY 14701.

GCHS Girls Lax advances to Nassau County Semifinal
Local resident named SUNY Scholar Athlete
Conor Byrnes
The Girls Lacrosse team getting psyched to take on Long Beach in the County semifinal. The Girls Lax team advanced to the Nassau County Class B Semifinal with a convincing 17-2 win over visiting MacArthur this past Wednesday in the quarterfinal game. From the very first draw, GC’s offense dominated the game with junior Sarah Mackey leading the way with five goals and two assists. Ten other players contributed points in what was a total team effort: sophomore Julia Fornasar chipped in three goals while Julia Kavan, Caitlin Cook, and Grace Kelly each added two; Ella Heaney, Liana McDonnell, and Alex Hopkins had one a piece while Miller Overbeck, Lindsey Gambino, and Kat Considine
each dished out an assist. When the Generals did get an opportunity to attack GC’s defense cut them down in transition and prevented many shots from being taken. Catherine Conway, Deanna Weisenburger, Amanda Cerrato, Kara Metzler, Emily Quinn, Emma Ruchk, and Lisa Garizio scooped up the ground balls and intercepted the Generals passes to break up their plays. Emily Gaven and Kerry McHugh each picked up a save in the win. The Trojans advanced to the semi-final game against #3 Long Beach on Thursday, May 24th at Adelphi. Go GC!

Conor Byrnes — a resident of Garden City and a student at Nassau Community College — has been named a recipient of a State University of New York (SUNY) 2017-18 Scholar Athlete Award, which recognizes outstanding academic excellence and athletic achievement. Wilder is on the men’s lacrosse team at the school. “We are very proud of student athletes, like Conor, who have excelled in the classroom and on the athletic field. They merit our praise for their skills and for their persistence,” said NCC
National Guardsman receives Humanitarian Service Award
Major General Anthony P. German, the Adjutant General of New York, announces the recent award recognitions for members of the New York Army National Guard who participated in the humanitarian assistance and disaster relief support missions following the devastation caused by Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria in 2017. Chief Warrant Officer 3 Barry Dille of Garden City will receive the Humanitarian Service Award for service in Puerto Rico from October 9th, 2017 to October 27th. Dille serves with Headquarters and Headquarters
Company, 3-142nd Aviation Battalion of the New York Army National Guard. “The support of our New York National Guard in the Caribbean following Hurricanes Irma and Maria was nothing short of exceptional, and our Soldiers are the reason for that success,” German said. “Our Citizen Soldiers are used to responding here at home, so the effort to move troops and equipment to Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands presented unique challenges. The presentation of the Humanitarian Service Medal is a great reflection of our Soldiers’ commitment to serve others,” German said.

President Dr. W. Hubert Keen. “It is my pleasure to congratulate our Scholar Athlete awardees for their achievement in the classroom, and on the playing field,” said SUNY Chancellor Kristina M. Johnson. “Whether competing at a Division I or intramural level, all of those honored are committed to excellence in their athletic pursuits, sportsmanship, and personal development. They balance a challenging workload, while demonstrating leadership and service. Congratulations to all awardees at Nassau Community College.” Prof. Kerri-Ann McTiernan, director of athletics, reports that while maintaining a GPA of 3.72 and graduating magna cum laude, Conor was an All-American, First Team, Defense, and was named to the NJCAA All Tournament Team. He was the NJCAA Region 15 overall Player of the Year and captain of the NCC 2017 men’s lacrosse team, which finished fourth in the country. Conor was seventh in the country in caused turnovers. In order to be considered for the scholar athlete award, student athletes were nominated by their campus athletic director. Nominees’ academic credentials and athletic achievements were then reviewed by a panel of athletic directors from across SUNY system and members of the SUNY provost’s office.

From page 6 of the school year and the first official day of summer (June 21) would give Recreation a good indication of the total memberships this season. Commission member Kristina Russo was concerned about promotional efforts as she noticed the number of “new joins” or new members dropped compared to the number of people renewing their pool memberships. She said a partnership with local real estate companies and advertising to people who have moved to Garden City has been important, but McGerty said an open house specifically for attracting new pool members needs to take place soon. McKenna wanted to compare contact and promotions through Twitter and Facebook for the pool but Russo noted that there’s been a great effort on the pool and Rec. staff’s part, as McGerty posts pictures and notices often. He told the Commission posting online is a goal every day and some sunshine on Tuesday, May 15 helped his social media with settings for great pictures “getting the tables and chairs ready, and showing how we’re at work around the pool.” But the next day’s storms had the opposite effect for promoting an outdoor village facility. Ocker told the Commission that stay-
ing proactive is key; in the past Espey and the Recreation staff have reached out to longtime pool season members in Garden City and discussed joining again, or ‘welcoming back’ if a person or family skipped membership for a year. Commission member Tim Stapleford recalled an incentive concept based on closing that gap. Yet the 2017 season incentive didn’t turn out for the better. “After running incentives last year we concluded that it cost the pool enterprise money (revenue) versus the prior season. Part of the thinking around an early discount in 2017 was to promote the exciting additional amenities to the facility. Also we talked (18 months ago) about how some residents were budgeting for beach club memberships and we wanted to try to slot in, side by side, to sort of entice them and say ‘are you thinking about where to allocate your summer recreation dollars?’ and we thought of going back to historically what we’ve done for 2018, to see where we are – I do not think we will know our season performance for memberships until after July 4,” Stapleford said at the May 16 meeting. Courtney asked to compare this season’s preliminary tally with the 2016 pool season memberships and Espey reminded her that two years ago an incentive was also in place.
The Recreation and Parks personnel assured the Commission that memberships were analyzed over several years, and the pool facility investments from 2015 to now have been promoted and announced well ahead of each season as they developed with the 2016-2020 Recreation Strategic Plan. The performance of pool membership sales will determine whether or not rates are raised, through a consensus from the Rec. Commission, for future seasons. Espey says while the priority is a revenue-positive pool, panic over its funding from memberships isn’t necessary just yet. He says despite any advertising agenda, it is known to most
people living in Garden City that the pool season is approaching, yet the plan is to “keep it out in front of them.” “We get a lot of good feedback from people dropping in to Recreation or the senior center. They are excited about the extra week of the season. The Pool Enrichment camp is going very strong once again – two of the weeks sold out in just half an hour and the other ones are selling fast. A lot of it is not having an incentive to join early for 2018 and the weather to date has stunk. Not that I do not always worry about our memberships, but really if by Father’s Day weekend we are still down then I would be worried a lot more,” Espey said.

Some of these programs are SEPTA, the Jamie and Paige Malone Foundation, Best Buddies, the GC High School Marching Band, BAA/GAA Awards Night, Middle School Bagel Bash, Reeves Scholarship, Bethany LeSueur Jersey Retirement Ceremony, GCHS Stem Program, CPR training for all coaches, HUDL, Robotics, 9th grade BBQ, Kickline, GCTA Hurricane Relief Fundraiser, and the Father-Daughter and Mother-Son dances.

Garden City Trojans prep for playoffs The last home game of the regular season featured the Trojans hosting the Southside Cyclones of Rockville Centre. The Cyclones entered the contest with 9 wins and 2 losses. Unfortunately for them, the Trojans were not interested in being gracious hosts on this day. The boys were focused on fine tuning their well-oiled machine for the upcoming playoff run. In the first quarter, Trevor YeboahKodie made a circus-like play when he took a pass while double teamed and shot behind his head with his back to the goal for the early lead. The defense on both sides dug in for hand-to-hand combat. The Trojans are most effective
in transition situations when they create open space for their athletic midfield and attack. Liam Muldoon took advantage of a transition play for the Trojans’ second goal. Transition also creates man-up situations as defenses are forced to take chances. Christian Sullivan capitalized on the man-up with a blistering shot for the 3-2 lead after one. In the second, the defensive group of Colin Hart, James Buckley, and Matt Desimpliciis took it personal and became physically intimidating with the Cyclones. They forced more outside shots that were easily corralled by Teddy Dolan in goal. Justin Coppola
continued to dominate and wear down the opposing face-off duo the Cyclones employed. With that, the Trojans were able to play offense the majority of the quarter. Liam Curtin, Kyle Steinbach, and Liam and Jack Muldoon added goals to insure a 7-2 halftime lead. The third quarter was mostly uneventful as both teams traded shots and limited each other’s scoring chances. Defensive midfielder Tyler Wuchte did take advantage of another unbalanced situation in transition to earn the only goal for the Trojans in the period for an 8-4 lead. By the fourth quarter, it was evident the Trojans were wearing the Cyclones

out. The Trojans continued to attack and were rewarded with goals from Liam Curtin, Kyle Steinbach, Liam Muldoon, Ford Carney, and Will Puccio. The end result was a resounding 13-5 win to close out the regular season. Now begins the playoff run. The Trojans are the #2 seed in the upcoming playoffs and received a first round bye. They play their last home game of the year on Tuesday, May 22nd versus Long Beach. If they win, they play in the county semi-final on Friday night, May 25th at Hofstra. Looking forward, they hope to be playing in the county final at Hofstra on June 2nd. Come out and support your Trojans. Good Luck Boys!
