‘No Mow May’ is OK, but lawns must be cut after June 1

DOMINATING PLAY

BY RIKKI MASSAND The tall grass on lawns across Garden City and elsewhere can be attributed to the “No Mow May” North American movement to protect the environment and pollinators such as bees. But as of June 1st, the village’s enforcement will be in place for lawns which still need a trim at that time. Residents who are participating in “No Mow May” are advised to call the Recreation and Parks Department at 516-465-4075 if they receive a violation or enforcement letter prior to June 1, as the fine will be waived. At the Board of Trustees’ meeting held Thursday May 19, Village of Garden City Recreation and Parks Superintendent Paul Blake announced reasons behind the national phenomenon, telling the Board of Trustees’

BY RIKKI MASSAND The Garden City Village Board of Trustees, at its meeting held on Thursday, May 5, voted in favor of waiving permit fees for water service line replacement – because of the number of homes that have been found to have lead contamination due to the old lines, Village Administrator Ralph V. Suozzi spoke about request for the waiver of fees for residents who are “replacing their lead service lines from their home, to the street, retroactive to November 10, 2021, not to include required deposit and Waiver to expire on May 5, 2024.” The Board deliberated and changed the specific language of the resolution, outlined by Trustee Charles Kelly: the waiver is for all residential water service lines, the term lead was removed. Second, the date was changed to be earlier than November 10. The new date, effective retroactively, makes the waiver available to all line replacements starting September 1, 2021. Early in the meeting, Mayor Cosmo Veneziale asked Suozzi if the waiving of the fees (both for the Building Department and Public Works) would negatively impact the Village of Garden City in any way. On the street side, for the road opening permits the Department

BoT approves funds for social media work BY MEG MORGAN NORRIS

The Girls Varsity Lacrosse team has been dominating the Nassau County quarterfinals, beating Baldwin 20-0. See page 55.

At its meeting on May 19th the Garden City Board of Trustees approved $18,500 in funding for a social media campaign by the St. Paul’s Committee, which is examining all facets of the future of the St. Paul’s main building. The item had been tabled during discussion at the prior Village Board meeting. Mayor Cosmo Veniezale commented that at that prior meeting the cost proposal from Garden City New York Media Inc. had been inadvertently omitted from the materials distributed to the trustees, but since then the Village Clerk has provided the material to all the trustees See page 53

A WORD FROM THE PUBLISHER

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

On Memorial Day As this is Memorial Day weekend, we would like to say thank you to those families who have lost loved ones in the service of the nation, in the armed forces. While for many people Memorial Day marks the beginning of the summer season, it is important to take a moment to remember why it is we are able to enjoy our freedom. It is the ultimate sacrifice that a few have made so the rest of us can speak freely, vote freely, travel freely and be secure in our persons and possessions. Garden City will again hold its annual Memorial Day remembrances, a parade and ceremony. The parade steps

off at 10a.m. on Cherry Valley Avenue between Stewart and 10th Street. It will travel eastbound on on 10th Street to southbound Franklin Avenue, to eastbound 7th Street, and end at the 7th Street Gazebo in front of the Garden City Hotel. A ceremony will be held at the gazebo following the end of the parade. The Cathedral of the Incarnation will also be holding its Memorial Day commemoration at 9 a.m. Why not start off the day right and attend one (or both) of these events? It’s a great way to show your gratitude for those who made our way of life possible.

Worked tirelessly

To the Editor: I have waited all these many weeks to hear someone praise my husband, Dennis Donnelly, who has worked tirelessly as Executive Director of the Garden City Chamber of Commerce for the last eight years. Whether it’s answering a request for a politician, police, fire, restaurant or private citizen, my husband worked day and night to solve problems that arose in this village. I find it reprehensible that he has been removed from this position. Nancy Donnelly

A “what if” analysis

To the Editor: Save the Date - June 24, 2022 No, it is not a wedding. The Mayors Committee (AKA Society for Preservation of St. Paul’s) has plans to run one of their two page advertisements, which all residents are paying for. The topic will be Financial. So while you are attending a graduation or loading your car for vacation the Committee will finally provide a financial update. You should realize by now that the Committee has not yet given any information regarding the cost of the project. As far as I know there is no budgeted amount because they still are working on potential uses. There is something called “what if” analysis. I will now present MY “what if” analysis using MY assumptions. Cost: $120 million, financed over 40 years, interest rate 2.5%. Year 1 cost (excluding operating expenses): Payment of principal $3.0 million, payment of interest 3.0 million. Total 6.0 million in tax revenues will be needed. The total Village tax assessment f/y/e 5/31/2023 is 53.0 million. Yes, the 6.0 million would require an 11% increase in your taxes. This is before the normal 1% to 2% annual increase. Is this what we have to look forward to? Please plan accordingly. Maybe the Financial sub-committee should do some “what if” analysis. Interest rate is

conservative based on the current economic conditions. Interest expense will decrease as annual principal payments reduce the debt. This will probably be offset by increases in operating expenses. Just my opinion. Bob Wolff

Rehabilitation impractical?

To the Editor: I read with interest the Mayor’s [Committee on St. Paul’s] advertisement in the May 20th edition. If his intention was to encourage interest in rehabilitating the building, I’m afraid the ad will have just the opposite effect, assuming a careful reading of its contents. A careful reading can only lead to the conclusion that any rehabilitation will be impractical in light of: a) the devastated state of the building’s interior; and b) its very impractical footprint. Any future use of the building will require massive funding which will result in substantial increased taxes for residents. Consider as well, ongoing maintenance of any rehabilitated structure. Hopefully a Village referendum will provide an option to tear the building down and plant some grass, trees and benches in its place. George Kane

Information incomplete

To the Editor: In the most recent Garden City News, the Committee on St. Paul’s ad No. 2 appeared on pages 26-27. It proclaims the structure to be structurally sound, meaning it does not have to be demolished due to safety concerns. Fine. However, while the ad uses quotes from the Thorton Tomasetti engineering firm at times to support this conclusion, the ad also appears to contain opinions and conclusions by the Subcommittee without quoting any of its actual report findings regarding its 3/18/2022 site inspection. The ad states “Hence, future considerations will need to take into account the existing structural layout, as any See page 45

On May 30, members of the Garden City Kiwanis Club will distribute hundreds of American flags along the Village’s Memorial Day parade route.

Cathedral Service to commemorate Memorial Day The Cathedral of the Incarnation will begin the Garden City Memorial Day commemorations with prayer at the traditional 9 a.m. Memorial Day service in the Cathedral itself. All are welcome to attend as the village gives thanks for those who died serving in the armed forces of

the United States. Dean Sniffen, who will officiate the service, is an officer in the United States Navy Chaplain Corps, currently serving as a tactical chaplain to the 6th Communications Battalion, United States Marine Corps.

Memorial Day Parade On Monday, May 30, there will be a Memorial Day Parade held in the Village of Garden City. Parade participants will begin to assemble at 9 a.m. on Cherry Valley Avenue between Stewart Avenue and 10th Street. The parade will commence

at 10 a.m. eastbound on 10th Street to southbound Franklin Avenue, to eastbound 7th Street, and end at the 7th Street Gazebo in front of the Garden City Hotel. A ceremony will be held at the gazebo following the end of the parade.

Updates on projects, Village finances at BOT meeting BY RIKKI MASSAND At the Board of Trustees’ meeting held Thursday May 19, Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi discussed progress at both the St. Paul’s landmark and Garden City Fire Station No. 2 at the corner of Stewart Avenue and Edgemere Road. At St. Paul’s, Suozzi noted current stabilization efforts, with the selective mansard roofing replacement performed, beginning on May 16 after the base contract work was completed. He spoke about low-slope areas on roofs 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 and 11 being near completion too. “The contractor has worked to identify that 561 linear feet of metal flashing need to be replaced. The remaining roof areas include roofs 4, 6 and 10 but roof 10 on the north side elevation, the mansard ‘hole’ by the clock tower is under construction,” Administrator Suozzi noted. For GCFD Station No. 2 Suozzi spoke about the exterior masonry repointing taking place. “Selective cutting commenced – 20% in the building’s west is complete. On the north end selective

cutting commenced 50%. The building’s east and tower is at 0% right now for masonry. Additional roof repairs are required on the tower roof, as the drains do not sit at the low point. The roof is retaining water and is susceptible to additional leaks,” he told the board. The board of trustees approved a new capital project for Garden City to replace the municipal fueling system (covering gas/diesel needs of village vehicles across departments). The village engaged Global Fueling Systems on a contract of $140,000, with board authorization of transfers of budgeted funds from several accounts – monies originally allocated to various projects that have been completed or have excess funding – contributing to an addition of $140,000 to “Account Data Processing Department of Public Works.” First, the proposal by West Babylonbased Global Fueling Systems for replacement of the village-wide fueling system at the Village Yard was approved, with a cost of $129,673.47. “This is not being bid because it is off a competitively bid contract we are attaching our purchase to,” Suozzi said.

Bobby Menges Memorial Blood Drive on June 2

Frequent donors Nancy Kalafus and friends. The Bobby Menges Memorial Blood Drive will be held at the Roosevelt Field Mall on Thursday, June 2, from 12:30–6:30 p.m. The drive will be set up in the North Court area, on the main level near Dick’s Sporting Goods. This space at the mall was used once before for the Menges Blood Drive and worked out well: the mall staff is accommodating, and the area is spacious and convenient. The Memorial Blood Drive is a project of I’m Not Done Yet, the foundation founded by the Menges family in memory of GCHS graduate and lifelong resident of Garden City, Bobby Menges, who died of cancer in 2017 at the age of 19. I’m Not Done Yet raises

funds to support programs throughout the country focusing on adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer patients and survivors. The June 2nd Blood Drive will kick off a year-long National Memorial Blood Drive, hosted in partnership between I’m Not Done Yet and the American Red Cross, to mark the 5th anniversary of Bobby’s death. To make an appointment, scan the QR code, or visit https://donate.nybc. org/donor/schedules/drive_schedule/304470

Prepare your home for the spring market now with your trusted local Garden City agent.

Stratford School second graders took a field trip to the Garden City Bird Sanctuary on May 12 and 13. They explored the seven-acre nature refuge that is home to a variety of birds, trees and shrubs. Students joined their parents in walking along the sanctuary’s trails, while keeping an eye out for different bird species. They brought a checklist of

birds and a clipboard, so that they could record their observations. The trip tied in with a second grade science unit, where students are learning about the interdependence of animals and plants. The second graders were excited to step outside of the classroom and see firsthand what animals and plants need to survive.

The A.T. Stewart Consignment Shop

Get some patriotic new tableware at the AT Stewart Consignment Shop. BY MELISSA JAEGER Memorial Day is almost here! Can you believe it?! We celebrate it as a happy time, as the unofficial kick-off to summer. Backyard barbecues and beautiful, balmy beaches. And this year we have the added bonus of getting together with our vaccinated friends and family mask-free. But it’s important to remember the true meaning of Memorial Day which, this year, is May 30th. To mark the occasion, the Shop will be CLOSED. It first started in 1868, after the Civil War, to remember those who had fallen. New York was the first state to officially recognize the holiday in 1873. It was

celebrated on May 30th until 1971, when it was changed to the last Monday in May as part of a drive to convert federal holidays to Mondays. There has been some concern that people have become distracted from the original purpose of the day, focusing on its role as part of a three-day weekend. To help remind Americans of the true meaning of Memorial Day, Congress passed the "National Moment of Remembrance Act” in 2000 encouraging Americans to pause wherever they are at 3 p.m., local time, on Memorial Day for a minute of silence to remember and honor those who have died in service to the nation. What a beautiful idea … Commemorate the day and purchase one of our beautiful flags (3’x5’) with sewn stars for only $25 at the Exchange. Up until May 30th, when you come in, mention this article and receive 10% off your purchase. To put you in the mood for the unofficial summer kick-off, why not pick up some of our fun paper BBQ and lobster placemats. They’re great for your outdoor barbecue. We also have a whole new line of beautiful floral and beach-themed laminated placemats. Mark your calendars: Cornelia’s Courtyard Sale, Saturday, June 18th! (don’t worry — I’ll remind you every week leading up to the actual event). Get a head-start on your Christmas shopping. The Courtyard Sale will take place, where else, but on the patio outside the Exchange. The Sale will be 11:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. In addition to Christmas items at ridiculously low prices, we will have a variety of glass, china, linens, furniture and lots of other items. As part of this, we will have a couple of

vendors. As always, the Shop will be open with our great merchandise. And leading up to this event, we will have a raffle – “Potted Greens.” Purchase your tickets (in the Shop) for a chance to win $100 – and the potted plant! Open your hearts: Food Drive to benefit The INN, now through to June 17th. I thought it would be nice to have a Food Drive not centered around the holidays, to bring attention to the fact that people need help ALL YEAR. So please, check your pantries, or hit the grocery store, and bring in non-perishable items. Those who donate food items will receive 10% off their Shop purchase on that day only. Remember: we’re here for you six (6) days a week. We are open on Mondays!! And, for those of you who work, we are still open late on Wednesdays until 6:00pm. It’s a great chance to shop in peace and quiet. We get newly consigned merchandise almost every day! And we sell new merchandise – especially gift items – bought through the NY Gift Show. Therefore, I prefer to think of our shop as a Gift and Resale Shop. If you can’t make it in right away, please shop online at www.atstewartexchange.org and pick up your purchases at the Exchange. We also post photos on the AT Stewart Exchange Facebook and Instagram pages. When you do come into the Shop, please follow our established sanitizing protocols and social distancing rules to keep everyone safe. Even though all the volunteers have been vaccinated, you will see that many of us continue to wear our masks. We offer hand-sanitizer when you enter the shop, and, to keep you feeling safe, we are running the air

purifier which cleans the air in the Shop every hour. Unfamiliar with the Exchange Consignment Shop? We are housed in The Garden City Historical Society (TGCHS) Museum on 109 Eleventh Street (in the basement of the building). All the proceeds from the Shop sales directly benefit TGCHS. In addition to our best sellers – jewelry (costume and fine), lamps, mirrors, and crystal (Waterford, Baccarat, Tiffany) -- we take/accept silver, pocketbooks, china, furniture, artwork, and collectibles. All items are in new or nearly new condition. We accept consignments Wednesday through Friday, 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. by appointment ONLY. This is done to safeguard customers, consignors and volunteers. Having appointments helps to keep down the numbers of people in the Shop and reduces wait-times to consign. Please call (516) 746-8900 to set up an appointment. Unsure if your items are appropriate to consign? Email photos to store@ atstewartexchange.org and be sure to include sizing info. You will generally receive a response the same day. Remember: all the profits from the Consignment Shop support the maintenance and upkeep of TGCHS Museum. Thanks to your generous support, work on the outside of the Museum continues. The shop is located at 109 Eleventh Street. Shop Hours: Mon - Fri: 10–4 p.m., Wed: 10–6 p.m., Sat: Noon–4 p.m. For more information, please call (516) 746-8900.

Jim Hess, Theodora Scalise, Emi Saponieri, Gabriella Rossi, Christine Saponieri, Louise Hess, Philip Hess and Eric Saponeiri. Thank you to everyone who donated and participated to make the 14th Annual Run for the Wild at the Bronx Zoo a huge success for Team GC Flyers, captained by local juniors Philip Hess and Eric Saponieri. Overall, $483,104 were raised by 562 teams working together for the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS). The GC Flyers proudly finished in the top 10% of fundraising teams. This is the second year that Philip and Eric organized a team of friends and family to participate and raise funds for the run, as this is a cause that they are passionate about – supporting a healthy and sustainable planet for people and wildlife. Eric stated, “Last year’s run was so much fun that I couldn’t wait to come back again!” Philip said, “It’s a great privilege to be able to enjoy the Bronx Zoo and raise awareness of conservation.” Each year the WCS Run for the Wild raises awareness of the threats facing wildlife, while fundraising to help WCS’s conservation work at the Bronx Zoo and around the world. Close to 5,000 participants came out on Saturday, April 30, to run in the 5K race for individuals and the 3K Family Fun Run. This year’s race is inspired by hornbills. These spectacular birds are native to Asia and Africa. Known as the farmers of the forest, hornbills are extremely effective seed dispersers, playing a vital role in their ecosystem. With their striking appearance, complex social structures and diverse variety of colors and species, these animals are iconic and beloved. They are

Captains Eric Saponieri (left) and Philip Hess (right). also endangered. Hornbills are threatened by deforestation, poaching and illegal wildlife trade. The WCS works with partners in multiple African and Asia countries to protect hornbills and habitats vital to countless threatened and endangered species. Animals around the world are going extinct 10,000 times faster than ever before. All of the funds raised helps the WCS work with communities, governments and responsible businesses to protect the future of wildlife. What better way to participate locally in order to act globally! Save the date and join the GC Flyers next year on Saturday, April 29, 2023.

GC Flyers Run for the Wild 2022

The Garden City News Friday, May 27, 2022

On Thursday, May 19th, the Mollie Biggane Melanoma Foundation invited friends and supporters to join them at the “Shady Shakedown” at Garden City Country Club. Kicking off Melanoma Awareness Month, cowboys and cowgirls were able to enjoy real home-style ribs from “Buddy’s Bar-B-Q” and lively country music from “Unwind.” GCHS Students Katie Sarkis and Naia Sampieri were very helpful volunteering their skills at the 50/50.

Cara Biggane introduced Elizabeth Hashagen, who is a well known Channel 12 morning news anchor and winner of 13 emmy awards. She generously shared her personal story of skin cancer, reminding the audience of the importance of how lucky she was to discover a spot that just didn’t go away. By sharing her story with her TV audience, Elizabeth was able to encourage countless others to follow-up and get to the dermatologist for that critical skin check. Through video, Dr. Kavita Mariwalla, dermatologist and Mohs Surgeon, delivered a very inspiring talk. She stressed how melanoma still can rob young people of life. She told the story of 36 year-old Bob Marley, legendary reggae singer, Bryan Bonin, 33 Commack High School winning coach, and 20 year-old college sophomore Mollie Biggane who all lost their battle with the disease. Dr. Kavita paid tribute to the Biggane Family for their 20 plus years of working to educate the public that skin cancer prevention and early detection can save lives.

EAB thanks student members, sets goals for future On April 28, the Environmental Advisory Board (“EAB”) met to recap their accomplishments over the last year and thank GCHS representatives Mary Grlic and Bonnie Ji for their contributions. Mary Grlic will be studying engineering at Rutgers University, and Bonnie Ji will be studying computer science at Carnegie Mellon University. The commitment to our Village and the environment these young women brought to the EAB contributed to the momentum this year.

Summary of EAB’s Efforts Over the Last Year

John Reilly started off the meeting by providing a summary of what has been accomplished by the EAB over the last year. In the fall, the EAB reopened a gas powered leaf blower discussion that had been ongoing within the Village and the EAB. In light of national attention on this issue and legislation passed in the Town of North Hempstead and other local communities, the EAB sought community input and made a recommendation to the Board of Trustees. These efforts resulted in the Village of Garden City adopting a seasonal ban on gas powered leaf blowers from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend and the licensing of commercial landscapers. The licensing is now in effect, and residents will enjoy quieter days and improved air quality as the ban on gas powered leaf blowers begins Saturday, May 28, 2022. In December, the EAB hosted a youth-focused roundtable discussion on sustainability issues. The discussion included a recent college graduate, as well as college and high school students, and provided an opportunity to share ideas on sustainability initiatives, and learn about educational and career opportunities in this growing field. The EAB is planning to host another youth-focused roundtable on sustainability in early

January 2023. In January, the EAB provided residents with a lead in the drinking water presentation and heard from residents about their personal experiences with high lead level samples. Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi along with the H2M water consultants provided an update on lead in the water in Garden City. This lead presentation is available on the EAB page of the Village website for residents, and the EAB plans to continue efforts to increase awareness within the community about this issue and to advise residents of the Village Board’s waiver of permit fees for service line replacements to help ease the financial burden of replacing lead service lines. The EAB invited Sarah J. Meyland, JD to present at the February meeting on the State of Long Island’s aquifers. EAB member Elizabeth Bailey then discussed treatments which are presently installed on Garden City’s wells, current efforts to conserve water on Long Island, and best steps residents can take to conserve water. Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi along with the H2M water consultants provided a further update on lead in the water in Garden City and were available to field questions from residents. In March, EAB member Kelly Smith presented a program on trees which included the role planting trees played in the planning of Garden City, the many benefits of trees in suburban areas, and how Garden City residents can work to preserve and increase trees. Paul Blake, chairperson of the Board of Commissioners of Cultural and Recreational Affairs, presented the Garden City provisions in place to protect our trees and practices for planting and maintaining Village trees. Guest speaker Vincent Drzewucki, of the Cornell University Cooperative Extension of Nassau County, discussed the practices for caring for trees, native planting, and

discussed with details about how residents can conserve water.

Water Meeting Scheduled for Wednesday, June 8

Future Meetings Being Planned by EAB

The EAB discussed topic ideas for the upcoming year. The next EAB meeting on Wednesday, June 8, will include a presentation on the Village Water Report and an opportunity for residents to ask questions. An update will be provided to residents on the topics of lead in drinking water, the new water tower, and the Village’s AOP water treatment. The importance of water conservation will be

Future meetings were also discussed on the topics of lawn care, energy efficiency, recycling, and pollinators. The EAB welcomes suggestions from residents about topics they would like to hear more about or initiatives they would like to see in our Village.

Garden City residents donate $5 million to Peconic Bay hospital Peconic Bay Medical Center (PBMC) has announced that it has received a milestone $5 million donation that will go toward a new 6,600-square-foot expansion of the hospital’s Emergency Services Department that will cost a total of $15 million. The generous gift was from longtime PBMC supporters Thomas B. Poole and Mary Jane Poole, who are residents of Westhampton Beach and Garden City. “Thomas and Mary Jane Poole’s cornerstone donation will help take us another step forward in addressing the issue of access to emergency care in eastern Suffolk County and will help save lives,” said Amy E. Loeb, RN, PBMC’s executive director. “As the needs of our communities grow, our facilities must keep pace. This expansion is vital to the quality of service we deliver in our Emergency Department.” Due to the region’s growing population and PBMC’s sophisticated medical capabilities and reputation, the Emergency Department responds to more than 36,000 patients every year. PBMC, a member of Northwell Health, recently saw a sharp increase in more severe cases such as people suffering with trauma, heart attack or stroke. “This gift will enable PBMC to continue to meet the growing healthcare needs in Eastern Suffolk and to do so

in a modern, technologically enabled facility,” said Stephen Bello, PA, senior vice president and executive director of Northwell’s Eastern Region. “We are truly thankful to Thomas and Mary Jane, whose contribution to enhancing medical care in Suffolk County will be felt for generations.” This single contribution will help pave the way to increase critical care capacity by more than 75 percent. Expansion plans include the implementation of a dual-bay trauma unit and additional cardiac response services, establish a dedicated pediatric treatment area, incorporate advanced radiology capabilities and enhance patient privacy. “As the need for advanced emergency services increases, this donation will directly enhance the patient experience at all levels of Peconic Bay Medical Center,” said Lincoln Cox, MD, PBMC's chair of Emergency Medicine. “People need access to quality health care, and this donation will benefit Suffolk County residents. The new space this donation helps create will directly lead to lives saved.” The Pooles have been contributing to PBMC since 2006 and have supported the growth of a range of medical services. With this donation, the timeline for expanding the emergency capabil-

A September 2022 event will be held in their honor. “The direction of PBMC, along with Executive Director Amy Loeb’s vision, motivated and inspired us to help advance both,” said Mr. and Mrs. Poole. Mr. Poole is the former chairman at The Hallen Construction Company, Inc. and honorary trustee at Hobart and William Smith Colleges. Before his retirement from The Hallen Construction Company in 2019 – a family-owned construction company in the New York Metropolitan area – Mr. Poole was president and CEO from 1976 to 2014, at which time his son, Shepard, assumed the reins. Under Mr. Poole’s direction, the company grew into a major distribution contractor serving the region’s principal utilities, various pipeline companies, private sector companies and public sector agencies. Under his direction the company also contributed to the advancement of the Long Island sewer and water systems. From his time in the United States Navy to his current position as an honorary

trustee of Hobart and William Smith Colleges, Mr. Poole has maintained the central belief that giving back to people and the community is one of his primary focuses in life. The Pooles have consistently contributed to charities in Garden City and communities across Long Island, such as the Westhampton Performing Arts Center, Adelphi University’s Performing Arts Center, Old Westbury Gardens, The Nassau County Museum of Art, and the Nassau Chapter of the American Heart Association. “Thomas and Mary Jane have been incredibly gracious supporters of Peconic Bay Medical Center for a long time, and we are thrilled to acknowledge their remarkable $5 million donation for the expansion of our Emergency Department,” said Emilie Roy Corey, chair of Peconic Bay Medical Center Foundation. “At its core, Peconic Bay is a hospital that is dedicated to serving the people of this great community. This contribution furthers that mission.”

I came across this photo recently that I had taken back in June of 1998 but I couldn’t remember for what reason. I think it was for the Men’s Association and was used for the cover of some booklet. The idea was to show different sports at the high school. Also, somebody is holding the American flag on the left and this was the end result. I believe seven sports are represented here: football, baseball, soccer, lacrosse, tennis, basketball and hockey. The hockey stick is holding up the #3 jersey on the right. The Garden City High School sign was new and had been a gift from the GCHS Class of 1997. Recently, it has been replaced.

The Library is bringing back the summer fun! There will be lots of great programs and activities for the Summer and more are being added! This year’s Summer Reading Club theme is Oceans of Possibilities! Registration begins on Monday, June 13, 2022 online with Eventkeeper (www. gardencitypl.org). It is also the start of the Library’s “Spirit Week.” Spirit Week begins Monday, June 13 with “Wear a Crazy Hat Day,” Tuesday, June 14, is Tropical Tuesday, Wednesday is Red White & Blue Day; Thursday is Disney Day and Friday is Mis-matched Day. Get in on the fun and come to the Library, and see what the librarians are wearing! Also, Friday, June 17, is the first Guessing Game winner announced! Every week is packed with opportunities for fun at the Library. So far the Library has these scheduled with more to come: • Third Grade board games • Family Bubble Night • Storytime Under the Stars

Also, don’t forget that preschool children are also included in the fun. From ages 2½ to 5 (not yet in kindergarten), they have their own activities and a chance to win a grand prize too! Get ready, the fun is about to start!

The unofficial start of summer is about to begin with Memorial Day! This U.S. Federal holiday is observed on the last Monday of May to honor the men and women who have died while serving in the military. This year, Memorial Day will be observed on Monday, May 30. Memorial Day commemorates the men and women who died while in the military service of their country, particularly those who died in battle or as a result of wounds sustained in battle. In other words, the purpose of Memorial Day is to memorialize the veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. We spend time remembering those who lost their lives and could not come home, reflecting on their service and why we have the luxury and freedom that we enjoy today. The wearing of the poppy was traditionally done on Memorial Day in the United States, but the symbolism has evolved to encompass all veterans living and deceased, so poppies may be worn on Veterans Day as well. Not long after the custom began, it was adopted by other Allied nations, including Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, where it is still popular today. In these countries, the poppy is worn on Remembrance Day (November 11). Today, poppies are not only a symbol of loss of life, but also of recovery and new life, especially in support of the servicemen who survived the war but suffered from physical and psychological injuries long after it ended. The Children’s Room has a dis-

play honoring all branches of the military. In addition, there are several books on Memorial Day, including “Memorial Day” by Emma Carlson Berne, “Memorial Day Surprise” by Theresa Martin Golding, and “A Day for Rememberin’: Inspired by the True Events of the First Memorial Day” by Leah Henderson. https://www.almanac.com/content/ when-memorial-day

FINALLY, RENTAL RESIDENCES THAT LIVE UP TO YOUR STANDARDS

Friday, May 27, 2022 The Garden City News

Library Board reduces fines, offers amnesty June 5–11 Take an extra day if you need it! The fines on your overdue Library books are about to be cut in half. The Board of Trustees of the Garden City Public Library has voted to reduce fines on Library materials, effective June 1, 2022. To kick things off, there will be no fines at all on the materials you return to the Library between Sunday, June 5 and Saturday, June 11. This is great news for Garden City Public Library patrons! Reducing overdue fines is a trend among numerous public libraries in

both Nassau and Suffolk counties in an effort to encourage returning readers rather than block access to books and other materials. Effective June 1, all 25 cent daily fines for books will be reduced to 10 cents; all $2 per day fines on media (DVDs, CDs, video games, etc.) will be reduced to $1 per day; and Museum Pass late fines will be reduced from $20 to $10 per day (though the next patron admission charge will remain in effect, if applicable). “The trend of libraries nation-

ally has been to reduce fines and offer windows of amnesty. This effort is implemented to welcome people back and introduce them to the many services libraries now provide,” Library Board Chairman J. Randolph Colahan said. “The Library Board, Administration and Staff hope this happens for Garden City residents.” The Library Board is also happy to announce a “Fine Amnesty Week.” Overdue fines will be waived on returned Library materials from Garden City or other Nassau Library

System libraries, between Sunday, June 5 and Saturday, June 11, 2022. Payment for lost or damaged items, or patrons’ unpaid overdue fines from prior returns, will be reduced in half during the same period. “We are hoping this will encourage many people to bring their materials back to the Library. Since Library fines often deter patrons from returning to the Library, we are hoping this amnesty period will increase usage and circulation,” Library Director Marianne Malagon said.

GCPL Tweens and Teens Best Books 2022 Committee: Volunteers Needed!

The Tweens and Teens Department is looking for tweens and teens in Grades 6–12 to volunteer to provide feedback on recently published Young Adult books as part of our Tweens and Teens Best Books 2022 Committee! Eligible books are those published between November 1, 2021 and December 6, 2022 and aimed at tweens and teens in Grades 6–12. Volunteers will be asked to read books on the Tweens and Teens Department’s monthly reading lists beginning this month and then write a 300-word review. Volunteers can also nominate a book not on our lists as long as it’s published between November 1, 2021 and December 6, 2022 and the Library owns a physical copy in the Young Adult collection. Volunteers will earn community service credit for both reading and writing reviews on new books in the Library’s Young Adult Collection. The feedback used throughout the year will help the Young Adult Librarians compile the Best Books list for the year in December 2022. There are no requirements on how many books a volunteer must read and volunteers can read however many new books they are able to throughout the year. Volunteers can get credit for books they do not finish, as long as they provide 300word feedback as to why they chose not to finish the book. The committee may meet throughout the year if there is interest, but volunteers are not required to attend meetings and can still participate by reading and providing feedback on recent Young Adult books. If interested, please sign-up to join the committee by visiting Garden City Public Library’s website at https:// www.gardencitypl.org/tweensteens-best-books-2022-committee/ or for more information, please con-

Amanda Hauser

At its May 17 meeting, the Garden City Board of Education appointed Amanda Hauser as the district’s new coordinator for music and the arts. The district is excited to see Ms. Hauser, a current teacher at Garden City High School, step into this new role. Ms. Hauser started as a chorus teacher in Garden City in 2014. Over the past eight years, she has improved student musicianship and provided opportunities for students to express themselves in the arts. As a chorus teacher at both the high school and middle school,

Ms. Hauser has conducted a number of choirs and prepared student-musicians for regional competitions. She holds a strong commitment to ensuring each student develops an enthusiasm for learning. Most recently, Ms. Hauser was the producer and music director for the High School musical productions. Ms. Hauser served as an administrative intern within the district in 2021, working collaboratively with district leaders and students. Within this role, she ensured music events were present in the upcoming district calendar, established advisorship roles for all district musical productions and assisted in interviewing candidates for various positions. Prior to teaching in Garden City, Ms. Hauser was a student teacher in the Kings Park School District and a graduate assistant at SUNY Fredonia, where she received her master’s degree in music. Additionally, Ms. Hauser has experience performing in a number of national and international performances. “Ms. Hauser has been an integral part of the Garden City Fine Arts program for the past eight years,” said Superintendent of Schools Dr. Kusum Sinha. “We are excited to welcome her into this new role, where I am confident she will continue to enhance the music and art experience for our students.”

Fixing Inflation: The Monetarist Approach BY BOB MORGAN, JR. It isn’t exactly a surprise that Americans regard inflation as the most important problem. For example, according to a Pew Research poll conducted in May, 70 percent of adults regard inflation as a very big problem, the highest issue on the list. (Next came crime at 55 percent.) At present, prices are 8.3 percent higher than last year, with major increases in gasoline at the pump. As of this writing, as calculated by AAA, regular gas is at $4.596 per gallon in comparison with $3.039 this time last year. While inflation is a major concern, most people have not given much thought about exactly why it has come back strong after 40 years. The Biden Administration blames the Ukraine war, Covid, and corporate greed for the price upsurge, but you have to think that there is more involved. Prices were steadily rising well before Ukrainian hostilities began in February, and it seems unlikely that corporations suddenly became ravenous when Joe Biden became President. An interesting perspective of the origins of inflation, including its current outbreak, is found in a new book by Steve Forbes, Nathan Lewis and Elizabeth Ames, Inflation: What It Is, Why It’s Bad and How to Fix It (Encounter Books, 2022). Mr. Forbes, the magazine publisher and former presidential candidate, and his co-authors come at the subject from a monetarist perspective, but, no matter where you come out on economic theory, the book, which is relatively short and easily accessible, provides numerous useful insights. In the view of the authors, there are two types of inflation, monetary and nonmonetary. The nonmonetary type occurs when there is a scarcity of goods and prices rise. Some of the recent inflation does have nonmonetary roots. The pandemic has disrupted the supply chain, making some goods hard to obtain and the Ukraine war has had effects on the supply of, for example, oil and grains. The book argues that these problems in the nonmonetary sphere can best be addressed by letting the free market do its job.

However, the thesis of Inflation is that much of today’s price instability is the product of monetary policies that date from the decoupling of the dollar from gold during the Nixon Administration in 1971. This decoupling produced the wave of severe inflation in the 1970’s that required a sharp recession to cure it in the early 1980’s. In more recent years, the Federal Reserve Bank has adopted policies that intentionally create some inflation (typically 2 percent a year) with a view toward promoting employment and stimulating the economy. Over time, this policy has the effect of substantially devaluing the dollar against gold, which the authors believe to be the truest measure of value. In recent years, the Fed has also employed gimmicks like quantitative easing to keep interest rates artificially low. The authors also point to the most recent Fed trick, called reverse repurchase agreements, which they describe as a way of creating money out of thin air while seeming not to do so. In the authors’ view, the result is today’s difficult price rise situation, which they believe is mostly monetary in origin. However, they do not favor the conventional remedy of ratcheting up interest rates. The book argues that the desired “soft landing” virtually never occurs. Indeed, the authors believe that interest rates should float with the market. Instead, the authors believe that the best answer, both in the short and long run is to adopt policies that will in effect tie the dollar to gold without any attempt at stimulating the economy or managing demand. This would also mean the end of gimmicky policies like quantitative easing and reverse repurchases. While this strategy is certainly subject to debate, the current approach of ratcheting up interest rates stands a good chance of producing both a sharp recession and strong economic dislocations including aa depressed housing market and sharp declines in financial markets. It certainly makes sense to consider other alternatives.

GCPD to participate in seat belt enforcement initiative The Garden City Police Department will be participating in the Statewide Buckle-Up New York enforcement initiative May 23 through June 5. The enforcement of seat belt and child restraint laws saves lives. During this initiative, highly visible patrols and checkpoints will be conducted throughout the Village, targeting non-compliance to occupant restraint laws including child safety seat laws. The goal of Garden City Police Department’s Occupant Restraint Enforcement Program is to reduce personal injuries and fatalities due to automobile crashes through education and enforcement. Studies have shown that wearing a seatbelt can reduce the risk of fatal injury by 45 percent and the risk of serious physical injury by 50 percent. According to the New York Governor’s Traffic Safety Committee (GTSC), statistics show unrestrained or improperly restrained occupants account for 37 percent of highway deaths in New York. Commissioner Kenneth Jackson said the Department’s participation in this effort was made possible through funding received from the GTSC with assistance from the New York State Association of Chiefs of Police and the Nassau County

Traffic Safety Board. The following is a brief overview from the Governor’s Traffic Safety Committee regarding seatbelt/occupant laws for driving with passengers under the age of 16: • All vehicle occupants must wear proper safety restraints. The driver is responsible for all passengers under age 16. • All children under 4 years old must be restrained in a federally approved child safety seat. • Children ages 4, 5, 6 and 7 must be properly restrained in an appropriate child restraint system. • Effective November 1, 2019, Children under two years of age must be placed in a rear-facing child seat. • Backseat passengers in a taxi or livery who are 16 years of age or older must be restrained by a seat belt. • All passengers in a taxi or livery who are 8-15 years of age must be restrained by a seat belt. • Due to the efforts of Law Enforcement, seat belt compliance rates are at 94% in NY State. The national compliance rate is 91%. • Drivers will be assessed three points against their driver’s license for the conviction of occupant restraint laws regarding child passengers under 16 years of age.

Updates on major projects, finances at BOT meeting From page 8 Transfers to fund the project were also authorized. The village capital projects “completed or with excess funding” are for Office Construction in the DPW and Building Department funds, for a transfer of $38,745.60; Nassau Boulevard brick work, in the amount of $ 25,343.39; the DPW’s IT infrastructure upgrades, with a transfer of $10,600.50; the GCFD Data processing, a transfer of $21,336.43; Recreation Department computerization, $13,791.38; Junior firemen’s changing room - $16,000.00; Fire Security Infrastructure, $11,404.14 and from the Garden City Public Library Security Infrastructure, $2,778.56. Village Treasurer Irene Woo provided the board with updates on several municipal finance items presented for approvals. Transfers of funds highlighted the list as $241,559.49 was transferred into the Police budget for “Retroactive Payment” from the village’s Contingent fund, to cover raises from prior year. The village’s current agreement with the PBA (policemen’s benevolent association) involved stipulations for raises due in years the contract covered. “These raises represent the prior year

and were not in effect until the agreement was settled, in this fiscal year,” Woo said. Melville-based IT consulting and services firm Total Technology Solutions has received a new contract of $178,216, approved by the board of trustees last Thursday. For the last several years Garden City has received TTS’ 24/7 network monitoring and alerting support; network management tools to manage all network devices, infrastructure, alerts and troubleshooting; a Help Desk Ticketing System for employee issues; IT notes and creation of a knowledge base. Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi noted that the firm provides the village with technical advisors for emerging technologies, “virtualization of servers, budgeting, quarterly onsite technology review; antivirus, malware, spyware protection and cybersecurity vulnerability and penetration testing; remote application deployment for security patches and software changes; network management reports for better decisions regarding changes to the network and reallocation of system resources to provide smoother recovery/iCloud

Backup which includes monitoring, support and applicable software licensing with offsite data retained for one (1) year. Combined, TTS’ services present a monthly cost to the village of $13,871 – and an annualized cost of $166,452. With the contract to re-engage the firm, there is a one-time cost of $11,764 for an additional “Datto Device for Business Community/Disaster Recovery/Cloud Backup Services”. In addition, the village will purchase time blocks, as needed, in 20-hour increments at a rate of $195 per hour for onsite remediation and for assistance with special projects that are outside the scope of the monthly services. Trustee Lawrence Marciano asked if the increases for TTS have come on a year-to-year basis or the rates have been static. Fees have been steady, but Administrator Suozzi said due to the cybersecurity risks the monthly fees have an increase for that particular aspect. “Overall, the comprehensive IT services and security from the vendor have gone up about $25,000 in the last four years. A lot of it is the cybersecurity

load but the hourly rates have been consistent, going from about $180 to $195 now, and we have needed the technical support. We are hopefully moving towards an environment where data and IT infrastructure are more stable, better protected, more modern and up-to-date,” he told the trustees. Suozzi noted the one-time addition of the $11,764 for the Datto device (hardware) used to back up the village’s servers, once every hour. “This provides us with immediate recovery and if a server fails we can use the Datto device as our supplemental server until we get the actual server back online,” he said. Deputy Mayor Tom O’Brien asked if any hacking issues for the village’s IT infrastructure have been a concern in recent years. Administrator Suozzi spoke about a ransomware attack and the monitoring by Total Technology Solutions as a preventative measure, before any real trouble took place. “They helped us resolve that, and we have not had any problems since then,” he said.

THE MAYOR’S UPDATE cveneziale@gardencityny.net From page 29

Tall grass enforcement

You may notice there are a lot more residents with tall grass this spring. While the Parks and Recreation Department is issuing enforcement letters, I have been informed of an initiative called “No Mow May” which urges people not to mow their lawns in May for environmental reasons. Any residents participating in this movement must cut their lawns by June 1, 2022 or they will be issued a violation notice.

Memorial Day Weekend Special Patrols

This Memorial Day weekend, 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. This initiative will be enhanced by funds provided by the Nassau County Traffic Safety STOP DWI Program and the New York State Governor’s Traffic Safety Committee. Police Commissioner Kenneth Jackson states, “During this initiative, the Department will deploy extra patrols on Village roadways, strictly enforcing all DWI laws. These patrols play an important part in preventing holiday tragedies that seem far too common.” The Garden City Police Department wishes everyone a safe and happy holiday. “They are doing a fantastic job in trying to enforce our traffic laws. I’ve seen firsthand cars

being pulled over. I cannot believe that our residents do not respect the traffic laws in their own community, especially near schools. I really thank you for what you’re doing.”

Memorial Day Parade of Honor, Ceremonies

The Library Board also announces “Fine Amnesty Week.” Overdue fines will be waived on returned Library materials from Garden City or other Nassau Library System libraries, between Sunday, June 5 and Saturday, June 11, 2022. Payment for lost or damaged items,

or patrons’ unpaid overdue fines from prior returns, will be reduced in half during the same period.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Email: Editor@GCNews.com From page 2 change may involve steel reinforcement.” Obviously, the building (constructed in 1879 absent a steel supporting system) if repurposed, is not going to become a school again. It is concerning how the Subcommittee should take “All usage proposals” into consideration given the description of the interior damage to the structure which includes collapse of floors, and the noted need for steel to be used in renovation. In addition, the ad seems to say

that until “mapping and shoring plans and repairs” are made, it cannot truly be declared that the structural systems are then “generally secure without risk of failure.” As a layman I call attention to these issues in the hope that clear objective explanations can be provided without promoting repurposing (now labeled renovation) as the preferred option, for that is the subject to the referendum by all villagers.

‘No Mow May’ is OK, but lawns must be cut after June 1 From page 1 audience that it’s estimated just one uncut lawn in a community can sustain up to 400 honeybees per day during spring. “This time of year we get a great spread of clover on the lawns and clover is a great habitat and source of sustenance for honeybees. The bee population throughout the world is under attack and there are many people nationwide participating in this. If anyone who is participating in No Mow May receives a violation notice please contact our (Rec. Department) office and be assured they will be cut some slack,” Blake noted. Dandelions are another great benefit No Mow May presents: “The movement is urging people to not mow their lawns for the month of May, as there are a couple of environmental benefits to it. If you leave the grass growing in May, dandelions can go through their full growth and death

cycle – dandelions are great for the soil as they have very deep tap roots and they help aerate the soil and loosen up compacted soil. They also bring water deep into the soil so the grass’ roots system can pick up water. Dandelions also transfer nutrients from other areas into our grass,” Blake said. He advises residents that regardless of this environmental effort for May, all the lawns with tall grass need to be cut by June 1.

Woodchipper replacement

The Board of Trustees took an action at its May 19 meeting to address another Recreation item: the expense for a new wood chipper. After the department’s current 22-year-old wood chipper’s engine malfunctioned in early May, the village garage deemed the equipment unrepairable. The Recreation and Parks Department made the request for a new wood chipper to be added to the Capital

Equipment Plan – amending the FY 2021-2022 capital budget – as the reason for such financing has to do with abandoning a previously-allocated capital cost for replacement of the Rec. Department school bus. “The motor of the old wood chipper is shot, and the shop deemed it unrepairable. We’d like to purchase a new chipper, and at this time as we’ve decided not to replace the bus, we are not using it an awful lot – so we would like to switch the funding over,” Blake told the trustees on May 19. He added that he is likely the only remaining Rec. employee who has a bus driver’s license and the vehicle’s use has declined much since the pandemic began. The board approved the $44,294.80 purchase of a new Brush Bandit Model 200XP wood chipper from Hicksvillebased vendor Malvese Equipment Co., through the Sourcewell Buying Cooperative Contract #062117-BAN. Blake noted the final portion of the

request, as the Rec. Department sought Board authorization to auction off a 2018 Brush Bandit Model 280XP wood chipper which is not suitable for use with the Recreation and Parks department’s truck and other equipment. The Board granted the department’s request with its approval of the consent calendar. In his update last Thursday, Superintendent Blake told the board that the tree plantings in the village, with a contractor lined up to do up to 50 tree plantings per day, would commence within the fourth week of May and take approximately six work days to complete. Blake also announced that the tennis court project at Hemlock Park is complete, with the additions of two new pickleball courts. “The nets are inside the court area so all pickleball players need to do is slide them onto the court. Bring your paddles and pickleballs, and have a good ol’ time!” Blake said.

Board approves public works superintendent, deputy clerk BY RIKKI MASSAND For the first time since November of 2020, Garden City has a superintendent of Public Works. The role, which was previously held by Joseph DiFrancisco, was finally filled on May 19 with the confirmation of Anthony DeRosa of Malverne effective on June 1, or upon Civil Service approval. He will be paid a salary of $160,000 for the balance of the village official year (not a full fiscal year) from his start date through April 3, 2023. “After the review of numerous resumes by Village Administrator Suozzi and myself, the trustees conducted interviews with finalist candidates for the position of superintendent of Public Works. We are pleased to welcome Anthony DeRosa as our new

DPW superintendent,” Mayor Cosmo Veneziale said.

Deputy Clerk appointed

Another important role was filled last Thursday, as Denise Ostapow was appointed to the position of Deputy Village Clerk (under longtime Village Clerk Karen Altman). Ostapow will be in service effective on May 19, the day of the board’s vote to confirm her in the role, or upon Civil Service approval. Her position also runs for the village’s official year through April 3, 2023, and it involves terms and conditions along with benefits and compensation following the CSEA Supervisor’s Unit Grade 20SN. Concurrent with her new role being in effect, the Village Board has authorized a leave of absence from Mrs.

Ostapow’s current Civil Service position of principal typist clerk. She moves into the exempt class municipal position. Trustee Bruce Torino said one of the hallmarks of good government is planning for contingencies and “making certain that personnel are in place.” “In the case of our village clerk it is a statutory requirement as a municipal position – it must always be filled. As was the case when I first served a trustee 20 years ago, there was in fact a deputy village clerk in the administration,” he noted. When Trustee Torino was elected to the board and began his current service at the beginning of April, he questioned why there was no deputy village clerk. He is very excited to see Ostapow move up in the ranks to this position, and the

fit is clearly appropriate given her experience at Village Hall. “After going through some due diligence we found that there was a potential candidate for the role already on the village staff who was extremely capable and would be a very good fit for the village to be the deputy village clerk. The individual (Denise Ostapow) has worked closely with Village Clerk Karen Altman over the last five years and they work well together. There are a number of instances in which their efforts, jointly, were necessary in order for the Village of Garden City to function well during the last two (2021 and 2022) election cycles. They were both in the office at 7 a.m. those election days, and they left way too late both times,” Torino explained.

Fees waived From page 1 of Public Works (DPW) collects its fee from applicants; the portion of construction and water line replacement on the homes’ side is a fee for the Building Department. Residents also provide a deposit for this work to take place. Village Superintendent of Building Giuseppe Giovanniello supplied financial records to Administrator Suozzi, which he broke down for the Board of Trustees at their last meeting. “If the cost for replacement of the

water service line on the residential side is about $5,000, the Building Department portion of the village fees would be about $355; if the work will cost $10,000 then the fee is approximately $465 – depending on the length of the property it’s about $400 on average. For the Public Works’ fees for line replacement, the fee is $1,000 for road opening and $500 for water service upgrades, so it’s $1,500 and then there is a deposit of $2,250. The cost to a resident out of pocket would immediately be about $3,750,” he said.

GCAA 10U Softball is enjoying its biggest and best season ever with over 75 girls across 5 teams. After spending winter weekends at the batting cages, this dedicated group of players and coaches pushed through chilly, rainy team practices in late March before starting the district game schedule in April. The hard work paid off as the Garden City teams enjoyed early season victories over Valley Stream, Carle Place and Garden City South. The 4th grade girls have made big strides with the player-pitch only format while the 5th grade girls picked right up where they left off last season and continue to improve.

Dispatch from Living the Nomadic Life, a Global Odyssey: Korea to Vietnam BY ERIC LEIBERMAN AND SARAH FALTER TRAVEL FEATURES SYNDICATE GOINGPLACESFARANDNEAR.COM Eric and Sarah are on a 6-month around-the-world sabbatical, joining a huge movement of young people who are choosing to live the nomadic life (at least for a time) and travel or work remotely in places, becoming immersed in local life and culture. They are filing these dispatches periodically. They previously reported about their month in Mexico. Here’s their report from South Korea and Vietnam: “This is the way so many of the great meals of my life have been enjoyed. Sitting in the street, eating something out of a bowl that I’m not exactly sure what it is. And scooters going by. So delicious. I feel like an animal. Where have you been all my life?” -Anthony Bourdain eating in Vietnam (and we couldn’t agree more). We write this second installment of our sabbatical world-travel dispatch from Phu Quoc, Vietnam (an island in the Gulf of Thailand very close to the Cambodian border). We were very stoked to make it into Asia just a couple of weeks after border re-openings, and it’s been fascinating (and at times eerie) to be some of the first tourists here. We spent our first week traveling Asia in Seoul after Eric was denied entry into Vietnam because he accidentally mistyped the entry month on his e-visa. In South Korea we saw 100% mask compliance inside and outside everywhere we went (though those smoking cigarettes on

Photo: Our jungle trek takes us into the Hang Tien cave system in the Phong Nha region of Vietnam © Eric Leiberman the street get a nonsensical pass, hehe), and never in our lives have we seen every single person in sight staring at their smartphone! It can look dystopian at times. Sarah happily embraced the quiet, introverted culture. Eric had to fight the impulse to chat up uninterested locals. But, we came together in our love for chilly mornings spent at the market scarfing down some impressive form of dumpling/kimchi soup while seated on heated benches, saving room for lots of lunch/dinner Korean bbq (and in Seoul you don’t lift a finger when prepping your bbq–it’s all done for you by extremely impressive waiters who manage 8+ grills

at once). We also checked out a local baseball game where cheering is technically banned because of Covid (cheer in your heart), though when a team scores, their fans impulsively scream anyway. To our delight, the stadium allows BYO beer/soju and fried chicken, all conveniently sold right outside. Our second attempt at clearing customs in Hanoi went off without a hitch (thanks to Sarah triple checking all of Eric’s documents), and being able to finally taste the forbidden fruit made it all the more sweet! We immediately felt invigorated by the delicious smells coming from every direction, and having to be

G O I N G P L A C E S N E A R A N D F A R

on our toes when crossing the street (the rushing river of cars/scooters never stop, they just, without fail, go around you). We loved figuring out that what seems like complete and utter chaos really has a very predictable and harmonious rhythm to it. In the food department, we quickly realized that the best meals come from street stalls with tiny plastic chairs and just one thing on the menu. The insane combination of unlimited chewy rice noodles, tangy broth, chilis, crunchy peanuts, and mountains of herbs make every dish a choose-your-own adventure of deliciousness. We could’ve been convinced that some of the street food we were eating for $1-2 came off a Michelin tasting menu - the Bun Cha and Banh Cuon were especially incredible. We also learned that the French colonial rule in Vietnam is what sparked the popularity of bread here, consumed daily by millions in Banh Mi, and re-invented with rice flour here. We’ve enjoyed the food scene endlessly, but there is also a hint of sadness in this reopening world. Many stalls/restaurants we research and can’t wait to try have no reviews the last two years, and, we come to find, have just disappeared. Continuing on in Hanoi (our favorite city in Vietnam) we were captivated by the Hoa Lo Prison, where French colonists imprisoned and killed Vietnamese political activists in the late 1800s through the mid 1900s, and this same location is where American POWs were incarcerated during the Vietnam War.

Dispatch from Living the Nomadic Life, a Global Odyssey: Korea to Vietnam Continued from previous page Learning about the many generations of occupation that the Vietnamese have endured brought us deeper meaning and reflection as we thought about the US’s recent departure from Afghanistan and Russia’s recent invasion of Ukraine. And we also really enjoyed the Vietnamese Women’s Museum, where we learned how valued women are in the work and family unit in northern Vietnam, and that Vietnamese women even propose marriage <3 With the constant beat of vehicle horns in the air in Hanoi, Eric was beginning to itch to get on a motorbike (no shock there). So, we hopped on an overnight bus north to Sa Pa and hired a motorbike guide named Kin- a pure soul, the same age as Sarah and a father of three. Kind Kin said yes to all of Eric’s crazy ideas and before we knew it we were motorbiking from Sa Pa to Ha Giang along the Chinese border (a total of about 500 km over 3 days) stopping at small homestays on our scenic way. Eric did all of the driving while Sarah dutifully snapped pictures and videos from the bumpy backseat. The

scenery was absolutely stunning-terraced rice paddies (which we learned are made that way for irrigation) every shade of green, heaps of green tea drying in the sun, and farmers markets where locals insist we sit down for “Happy Water”--Vietnamese moonshine–which Sarah does happily and Eric does also happily but with more responsibility because he is our forever DD. Lots of fog rolled in in the north, which made us appreciate the views when it did clear, even more. We moved south to central Vietnam so that Sarah could realize her bootcamp potential, signing up for a multiday jungle trekking & caving tour. The caves in Phong Nha, Vietnam, are otherworldly. In fact, the world’s largest cave is here (Hang Son Doong–first discovered by a farmer by accident just three decades ago, and so big it has its own rainforest!). We found availability on a tour of the Hang Tien cave system with the tour company Oxalis (highly recommend), so we strapped on our provided army boots, and spent the next three days walking straight through rivers and caves (fully clothed in long layers to protect against plants and insects), and then scaling rocks up and

down in order to capture some incredible Vietnamese nature. Our group of 10 (5 domestic and 5 foreign travelers) bonded Birthright style during the tentside hangouts, and we were fed constantly (and deliciously) which kept us smiling :) despite the unrelenting heat and humidity. After a desperate shower and laundry session we made our way to Hue, also in central Vietnam. Eric wasted no time seeking out a tailor for his absolute favorite–custom clothes. His request was so specific, that our amazing tailor Bo (we really have met people unbelievably patient with Eric here) offered to take us to the fabric market to pick one out that she didn’t carry at her shop. One scooter ride together and a couple of hours later she nailed it! Sarah also got her first custom clothing with Bo and agrees, it is really fun. Another highlight of Hue-the salt coffee. Each region of Vietnam highlights a unique version of their rich coffee, but our favorite variation is this one–salted cream that perfectly compliments the strong black coffee blend creating an almost caramel taste. We now find ourselves on the beach

in Phu Quoc, southern Vietnam. Sarah is wrapping up book number three and Eric is taking the hotel’s paddleboard about 100 times further than the buoy’s limits. The hotel seems to be approximately 10% full. We continue to thrive on almost strictly street food–we went to a nightmarket the other night with a German couple from our cave tour and to Eric’s delight, found Banh Mi with steak and runny white cheese a la the Philly Cheesesteak, and sea urchin with herbs and peanuts. No food is left untried. And while Eric has been brave enough to weigh himself this week (somehow lost weight!?), Sarah continues on in ignorant bliss. _________________________________ © 2022 Travel Features Syndicate, a division of Workstyles, Inc.

How to Get More Miles Out of a Tank of Gas BY MARY HUNT I can sum up my response to the soaring price of gasoline in just one word: aargh! While waiting for prices to come down (Do you think they will?), don’t sit around complaining all the while paying through the nose to drive your car. There are lots of things you can do to increase the number of miles you can squeeze out of each gallon of gas, effectively reducing its cost. Here are a few ways to get better gas mileage:

EMPTY THE TRUNK

Call it science. The heavier the car, the harder the engine must work to move it around. The harder the engine works, the more fuel it burns. So, unload all that other stuff you’ve been carrying around in the trunk for no good reason. (Please, leave the spare tire and emergency equipment.) It’s a trunk, not a mini storage unit. Unload and you could easily increase your gas mileage by as much as 10%.

CHECK TIRE INFLATION

Get into the habit of checking tire pressure every time you fill up, but when the tires are cold. The recommended PSI (pounds of pressure per square inch) is printed or stamped on a metal tag affixed

to the edge of the front driver’s side door jamb, or on an older car, inside the glove box. Underinflated tires cause the engine to work harder than necessary; overinflation causes tires to wear prematurely. (Hint: Do not consult and/or rely on the PSI information on the tire itself. That is the maximum pressure that the tire can handle before bursting! It should never be used.)

CLEAN THE AIR FILTER

One of the main causes of low gas mileage is a dirty air filter. If yours cannot be cleaned, replace it and repeat often. Check with a knowledgeable professional at an auto parts store or your mechanic about how often to clean or replace the air filter on your particular model. This is a task you can probably do yourself.

LIGHTEN THE LEAD FOOT

Drive as if there is a raw egg positioned right under the gas pedal. Your mission is to accelerate so gently that you do not break the egg. Sudden acceleration and lead foot syndrome is the biggest of all fuel thieves.

BUNDLE YOUR ERRANDS

Instead of making many small trips every day of the week, plan ahead. Run all of your errands at the same time in one longer trip rather than making many

small trips all week long. Once your car is warmed up, it operates more efficiently, which means with better gas mileage.

REPAIR, MAINTAIN

Transmission torque converter clutch failure results in poor gasoline mileage, as does transmission slipping, a stuck choke plate and leaking injectors. Wow, that really sounds like I know what I’m talking about, doesn’t it? I’m no auto mechanic, but I’ve learned from so many of my readers who are that it pays to find a good mechanic you can trust. I’ve also learned my share of expensive lessons over the years that practicing preventive maintenance means cash in your pocket. First, you don’t have to pay for those expensive repairs, but as a bonus, you’ll get much better gas mileage when everything’s working well. Change the oil religiously every three months, 3,000 miles or as recommended in the owners’ manual. Learn how to do this task yourself to save even more. Increasing your gas mileage by only 10% is the equivalent of getting one free fill-up every tenth visit to the filling station. Not bad! The secret is to redirect that savings to some other use before it gets absorbed into your regular spending.

Sweet Treats on Vacation Days BY CLAIRE LYNCH My friend, Amy, was looking for some good candy as a gift for her brother, Marty and because she wanted some for herself. After stopping at stores near her home and finding the same old types of candy - “There’s nothing new,” she said - Amy decided to go a real candy store. Stepping inside, Amy noticed that the candy was temptingly lined up in attractive bins. The colors were bright and bold and the different types of candy were not what she’d seen everywhere else. Taking a deep breath and twirling around, Amy actually clapped her hands with glee. I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen it myself. Pushing her sunglasses on top of her head, Amy wanted to take in all of the sights and colors around her. She was in Candy Land and I mean the real Candy Land not the kids’ board game. She knew this place was sure to satisfy any person’s sweet tooth. Amy freely admits she has a sweet tooth and she stated, “Marty does, too.” That’s why she was getting him candy rather than a polo shirt or necktie. Amy jogs often and stays as thin as can be so I figure she can indulge in candy and hang around candy stores as much as she likes. This Amy is a very particular type person. When we go searching for that perfect dress for a relative’s wedding or for the perfect shoes to match that dress, or for the perfect handbag, I know it’s probably going to be a long day. Amy considers shopping VSB - “very serious business” - and I guess her fussiness pays off because when it comes down to it, she always does look great. Over the years I’ve learned a thing or two about being a very serious shopper. Being sharp and diligent pays off. Anyway, Amy came across this candy

store on Main Street in Anytown USA - I won’t give its actual name to save them from being bombarded by other candy lovers - and the place made her day. Walking through the aisles, Amy was drawn to a candy she hadn’t had in years - salt water taffy. In fact she told me that the last time she’d enjoyed eating some salt water taffy was years ago when she and her family had vacationed on the Jersey shore. At this store she noticed she could choose whatever flavors she wanted. Chocolate caramel mocha taffy, chocolate malt taffy, cotton candy taffy, strawberry taffy and orange taffy all caught her eye but after taste testing a few of them chocolate chip taffy turned out to be her favorite. It had tiny bits of chocolate chips in the taffy and that added to the candy’s charm. Personally, I would have chosen the raspberry taffy but I’m watching my waistline so it’s probably best that I refrained. Before leaving the candy store Amy got some licorice for her brother, Marty, and knowing that she could tie a pretty festive ribbon around it later, she was pleased with the gift she’d gotten him. He would be happy with it. After choosing an assortment of loose salt water taffies, Amy tossed them into a bag. Checking out with the cashier, the young man weighed her bags aka her “precious cargo” and as they chatted a bit, he said it’s funny but taffy and licorice are the two most popular candy these days. Smiling, Amy took her purchase and off we went. The whole ride home Amy kept saying, “mission accomplished” and I wasn’t sure if she was more pleased with Marty’s gift or her own salt water taffy. Either way, she was happy with our trip to the candy store. Spending time in a good old-fashioned candy store reminded me of being on family vacations as a kid, walking through souvenir shops in Asbury

Park, NJ, Spring Lake and Atlantic City and coming across salt water taffy when I least expected it. Usually it’s boxed and it’s a sweet treat on a summer’s day. Visitors to the Jersey shore were sure to be attracted to buying a sweet treat. Walking along the boardwalk and sharing a box or bag of salt water taffy was fun. My relatives and I would pass around a bag of the taffy, the bag would come back to me and looking inside, I’d find it empty. Shrugging my shoulders, I’d laugh because we planned on bringing it home as a souvenir of our outing but of course that taffy didn’t last. Occasionally I would find some salt water taffy when going with my family to the movies and I’d be delighted. Even though my mom would try to talk me into getting some popcorn I would always hold out for the taffy. I remember this: each taffy piece was twisted in a wax wrapper with the trademark lettering of whoever the manufacturer happened to be and I

spent countless hours unfurling those wrappers and slowly chewing each piece of taffy. Amy prefers to let the taffy melt in her mouth and we have a good laugh over that because we’re sure it made her dentist is happy. The truth is Amy and I were even more fascinated with salt water taffy when we found out how it’s made - in great, big vats in factories. It’s mixed to the right texture, pulled into strips by large machines and after the taffy cools, it’s cut into pieces. All this salt water taffy talk was interesting and I like having some taffy. It tastes good, probably because it’s not a daily treat. Taffy tastes good, sure, but you can’t beat chocolate truffles for a sweet treat - or boxed as a holiday gift. Now those candies are rich, decadent and can be savored for several minutes. Amy agreed that chocolate truffles are great but she still held out for the good old-fashioned salt water taffy she remembered as a child.

There’s a Reason for All the Rules BY TOM MARGENAU Sometimes readers take me to task for not explaining a particular facet of the law when I write a column about some Social Security topic or another. I usually respond by pointing out that if I tried to cover every “if, and or but” associated with whatever Social Security topic I am trying to explain, my column would fill up half the newspaper or website in which it appears. And I recently came across a good example of this. A reader asked me when benefits to his daughter would end. He is getting retirement benefits and has one minor daughter left at home collecting dependent benefits on his record. I responded by saying this: “Student benefits end when the child reaches age 18 but can continue until 19 if the child is still in high school.” But then out of curiosity, I checked the Social Security Administration rule book about this issue. And that rule book went on for about 10 pages answering the same question I answered in that one sentence! It started out by going over the general policy (essentially my one-sentence answer), but then it went on and on and on to cover all the possible exceptions that could occur. Here is just a brief summary. (In the sections below, “FTA” means full-time attendance.) No. 1: Student graduates and benefits terminate before age 19. James attained age 18 in March and graduated from a secondary level program in May. He has no plans to continue attendance in a secondary level program, so his benefits terminate in June. No. 2: Student graduates before age 19 and continues in FTA in a secondary level course. Her student benefits terminate before age 19. Emily attains age 18 in April and graduates from a secondary school in June. She is on vacation in July and August and plans to continue FTA at a secondary school September through December. Her benefits terminate in January because she is no longer in FTA. No. 3: Student graduates before age 19 and continues in FTA in a secondary level course. Her student benefits terminate at age 19. Emily attains age 18 in April and graduates from a secondary school in June. She continues in FTA in a secondary level course in September, planning to attend through June. She receives benefits based on her FTA in a secondary level program through March. Her benefits terminate in April, the month she attains age 19, because she already graduated from secondary school. No. 4: Student attains age 19 in a month of nonattendance. Tony completes his junior year of high school in May, is on vacation

in June and July, attains age 19 in July, and plans to return to secondary school in August. His benefits continue through June but terminate in July because he attains age 19 in a month of nonattendance. No. 5: Student attains age 19 in a month of FTA and the school operates on a yearly basis; student benefits terminate the first day of the third month after the age 19 attainment month (payment to age 19 and 2 months). Janice attains age 19 in February. Her school year runs September through June, and her school operates on a yearly basis. Janice receives payments through April, and her benefits terminate in May, the third month after the month in which she attains age 19. No. 6: Student attains age 19 in a month of FTA; the school operates on a yearly basis; student’s benefits terminate the first day of the month after the month the student completes the school year in which he or she is enrolled. Janice attains age 19 in April and attends high school through May. She is on vacation in June and July and plans to return for her senior year in August. She receives benefits through May, the month she completes the school year in which she is enrolled in the age 19 attainment month, and her benefits terminate in June. No. 7: Student attains age 19 in a month of FTA; the school operates on a semester or quarterly basis and requires re-enrollment; and the first day of the third month after age 19 attainment and the end of course coincide. Jacob attains age 19 on Sept. 3. Per the SSA-1372, his school operates on a semester basis and requires re-enrollment every semester. The semester begins Sept. 18 and ends Nov. 30. Jacob receives benefits through November (age 19 and 2 months), and his benefits terminate in December. No. 8: Student attains age 19 in a month of FTA; the school operates on a semester or quarterly basis and requires re-enrollment; the student’s benefits terminate the first day of the month after the month in which he or she completes the course in which he or she is enrolled in the age 19 attainment month (payment past age 19 and 2 months). Jacob attains age 19 in September. The school official certified on the SSA1372-BK that the school operates on a semester basis and requires re-enrollment each semester. The semester begins in September and ends in December. Jacob receives benefits through December, the end of the semester, and his benefits terminate in January because the semester in which he attains age 19 ends in December and his school operates on a semester basis and requires re-enrollment. I’m already out of space. And this section of the rule book went on for

many more pages giving even more examples of when student benefits should terminate. People often complain that Social Security laws are so complex. I put all of this in today’s column just to show you why they have to be so. There has to be some rule to cover every possible scenario that can occur for every potential Social Security situation.

If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has a book with all the answers. It’s called “Social Security: Simple and Smart.” You can find the book at www.creators.com/books, or look for it on Amazon or other book outlets. COPYRIGHT 2022 CREATORS.COM

Taking a look at the market in Spain BY PHILIP A. RAICES Being in Madrid, Spain, for the first time over the last few days has been an eye-opener to say the least. I am here on business and will be going to Seville to meet with my Global Committee. We have an MOU (memorandum of understanding) to facilitate and grow our long-term relationships with the Realtors, so we may successfully perform & complete current and future real estate transactions here with our American investors and purchasers and other countries’ clients and with the Spanish investors back in the States. I became one of the 3,720 C.I.P.S. (Certified International Property Specialist) Designees many years ago out of 7.2 million agents around the globe. This has had a major impact on connections and networking, leading to many successful transactions here and with those in other countries. Volunteering on our global as well as other local and National Association of Realtors Committees has enabled us to learn so much more about many other cultures. We can absorb and apply the local customs to be more knowledgeable when meeting current and future clientele from around the globe. We also have a multitude of MOUs with other European, Asian and South American countries, too. Being involved at the local, national and international level puts us in a prominent position with our network and clientele that is second to none in the real estate industry. I have never experienced such vast and varied, inspiring classic architecture from 250 to more than 800 years old. The crucial reason is that the structures throughout the years have been

attended to and continue to be in quite amazing and pristine condition. The government and private sector money is always being proactive and on top of all used to make necessary repairs and upgrades to keep all their buildings in tiptop condition. Nothing gets left behind and the palaces and other structures are in such perfect condition that you wouldn’t know they are as old as they are. But they are in absolutely spectacular showroom appearance and condition. The United States is in its infancy in terms of our construction and has many, many years to go and I doubt that our buildings will be comparable. And will they last for hundreds of years into the future? Our architecture is so vastly different and is not generally considered classic from the Renaissance or Baroque periods, although some of the details could be construed from early 18th and 19th century European descent. In Europe, however, they used more permanent materials and vinyl or aluminum siding is truly looked down upon as inferior material. The way things were constructed and methods used back then were and even now are always with the idea of permanence and to last forever. Unfortunately, much of our residential and commercial construction that has been built in the past had obsolescence built into the construction (like all our appliances and other goods today which maybe last eight-12 years) to be replaced every

50-100 years. In the past it has always been about the money and the economy, not what’s best for the cities, towns or local villages to preserve and be eco-friendly. However, it appears that more and more the ideas of sustainability and more permanent structures that use less energy with solar and energy cells, recycling rainwater to irrigate plantings and that use materials that are more friendly to the environment with less polluting components are now taking hold and are becoming a requirement and standard procedure in many localities throughout the United States. Having a L.E.E.D. (Leadership in Engineering and Environmental Design) certified rated building of Silver, Gold or Platinum is now a standard building code in many areas of the U.S. and will be part of all codes in the future. My son, Matt, has an engineering degree and earned his L.E.E.D. Certified designation many years ago when it wasn’t exactly in fashion, but he saw the future and it is extremely important in today’s construction. Europe in many ways has been practicing these methods for years and it is evident in how they retrofit and upgrade their buildings. Properties in the capital city of Madrid can be considerably less or even more than prices in New York City but can vary depending on the locality of the units. Prices can range from $500,000 Euros into the millions of Euros for a four-bedroom/two-bath flat w/a terrace w/an elevator in good

condition. Down payments are usually a minimum of 30% or 70% loan to value (normally in the U.S. it’s 20%). Rents can be 5,000 Euros per month, which is somewhat comparable to the United States. It all depends on the location. Mortgage rates as of the third quarter of 2021 were 2-2.5% for a maximum of 20 years and with the borrower age limit at 70 years. Everything is based on Euro denominations and the Euro at this time is one dollar equals 0.945626 Euro. Madrid, Spain can be an excellent place to retire as an expatriate, but do some thorough research before pulling the trigger and come and visit for a week or two.

Mediterranean Diet Pattern for Health BY CHARLYN FARGO If you’re looking for a healthy way to eat, look no further than the Mediterranean Diet. It’s healthy, environmentally friendly, flexible and perhaps the most healthful way to eat. May just happens to be International Mediterranean Diet Month, a great time to investigate the health benefits of the Mediterranean way of eating. It’s the traditional dietary pattern of Greece, Italy and other countries surrounding the Mediterranean Sea. The pattern focuses on whole grains, vegetables, legumes, fruits, nuts, seeds, herbs and spices with olive oil as the main source of fat. Fish, seafood, dairy and poultry are included in moderation; red meat is eaten once a week.

Following the diet plan has shown in studies a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, dementia, several types of cancers, rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. The Mediterranean Diet represents the gold standard in preventive medicine, according to the journal Current Opinion in Clinical Nutrition and Metabolic Care’s Nov. 2016 issue. Since then, it’s been one of the most studied eating patterns. The journal credits the diet’s harmonic combination of many elements with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which overwhelm any single nutrient or food item. The study, called Predimed, was the first randomized trial showing that an intervention based on changes in dietary pattern can reduce the risk of breast cancer and improve cognition.

Here’s how to get started: No. 1: Choose a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, beans, grains, nuts and seeds daily. No. 2: Add small servings of olive oil, eggs, cheese and yogurt. No. 3: Add fish and seafood, poultry and occasionally, red meat. No. 4: Focus on fresh, unprocessed ingredients. No. 5: Be physically active and enjoy meals with others. No. 6: If you drink wine, have it with meals. No. 7: Drink plenty of water. Q: Should I take an antioxidant vitamin? A: The antioxidant vitamins include vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E and beta carotene, a precursor to vitamin A. How-

ever, studies have found just taking vitamin E, vitamin D or beta carotene supplements did not result in any measurable benefit, and in some cases, high doses of antioxidant vitamins were associated with adverse effects. What is effective is eating more fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes and whole grains in place of sugary, salty and refined carbohydrate foods and processed meats. Foods that are naturally high in vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals also tend to be rich in fiber and unsaturated fats while being low in saturated fat. Focus on an overall healthy dietary pattern rather than individual nutrients. Charlyn Fargo is a registered dietitian with SIU Med School in Springfield, Illinois. COPYRIGHT 2022 CREATORS

Discovery May 27, 2022

Seeing the ‘Unseeable BY DENNIS MAMMANA Week of May 22-28, 2022 On a recent visit to my orthopedic surgeon’s office, I was struck by her remarkable ability to point out even the smallest anomalies on my knee X-rays and MRIs. “How in the world did she ever spot those?” I remember thinking. The answer, of course, is that she has an expert knowledge of the subject and undoubtedly has developed a few useful tricks of the trade along the way. The same is true for astronomers. People are often amazed by our ability to find things among a seemingly random maze of stars. Of course, astronomers have an expert knowledge of the sky as well as years of practice, but that’s not the whole secret. To excel at stargazing, we must first understand how human vision works so we can maximize the power of our eyesight. One of our “secrets” is to use a process we’ve all experienced: dark adaptation. Enter a movie theater on a sunny day and you know how tough it can be to find your way to a seat. After spending time in the darkened theater, however, seeing around the room is no challenge. That’s because, in darkness, our pupils dilate to allow in more light. This process takes time -- often more

than 20 minutes -- but it does eventually happen. Step back onto the sunny street again, however, and the sudden shift from dark to light can be stunning. Yet within only seconds you’re seeing normally again. Astronomers always allow plenty of time for this process to occur before we begin our observations. Once dark adaptation is completed, we protect our night vision by using only red light to find our way around or to use star maps or logbooks. Another one of astronomers’ tricks is a technique called averted vision. The sensors at the center of the retina are known as “cones”; they see colors quite well, but only under bright conditions. Only the “rods” -- the gray sensors surrounding the cones -- can see faint light, but they do so at the expense of color. So, to see dim celestial smudges more clearly, we astronomers focus light onto our rods by glancing slightly off to the side of faint objects. Try out these techniques in a very dark environment. Allow yourself to become fully dark-adapted by avoiding white light. Take with you a flashlight that is covered with red cellophane or get yourself a red LED flashlight. Then find some faint objects in the sky and begin averting your vision to see them. One of the best tests of these techniques for viewers in the Earth’s

May 27, 2022 Discovery

S T A R G A Z E R S ’

Northern Hemisphere lies in the northern sky: the Little Dipper. Choose one of its faintest stars and force yourself to stare directly at it. What happens? It vanishes. That’s because you’re trying to force the cones to work; gaze just slightly off to the side of the star and let the rods do the work, and you’ll see the star just fine. Unless you’re an astronomer you

probably weren’t aware of the tricks used by us “night folk,” but you are now. So, no more excuses; get out there and enjoy those feeble photons raining down upon us from afar! Visit Dennis Mammana at dennismammana.com. COPYRIGHT 2022 CREATORS.COM

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

Chipped Off BY TRACY BECKERMAN The first time I noticed the holes, I couldn’t figure out what they were or where they were coming from. There were dozens of them, about two inches across, scattered throughout my flower beds. It looked like someone had been jumping through my garden with a pogo stick. “Honey, someone has been jumping through our garden with a pogo stick,” I complained to my husband. “Yeah, I heard that there was a rash of pogo-stick jumping delinquents in the neighborhood,” he replied. “Seriously,” I said, dragging him outside to see the mystery holes. “See? Pogo sticks.” “No... rodents!” he said. “And I’m pretty sure they don’t ride on any pogo sticks, either.” “Rodents? What, like mice or r-r-rats?” I stuttered. “Nah, it doesn’t look like a rat hole,” said my husband, who apparently had

become a rodent expert in the 10 minutes since we had begun discussing the holes. He peered at one of the holes beside an upended begonia. “I think, maybe, chipmunks.” “Chipmunks?!” I cried. I have to admit I found this news very disturbing. I’d always thought that chipmunks were kind of cute. They were like the more adorable, younger cousins of mean, nasty squirrels who robbed the birdhouse feeders, decimated my Halloween pumpkins and made nests in our attic when I was growing up. As far as I could tell, chipmunks were harmless little guys who frolicked playfully in the yard and occasionally formed high-pitched singing groups led by a guy named Alvin. Then I became a homeowner. A homeowner who spent a lot of money on nice plants and flowers for her gardens. Suddenly, I realized that chipmunks are not the cute little guys they pretend to be. In some circles, chipmunks are

known as ground squirrels, although to be more accurate, they should be called underground squirrels, because it seems that is where they prefer to spend more of their time -- under the ground -- or to be more accurate, in holes that they dig right at the base of my expensive plants and flowers. I decided that they might be cute, but the chipmunks had to go. They were destroying my flowers and making my garden look like a sand trap in the back nine of our local golf course. It was war: the chipmunks or me. I consulted the internet and found out that there are a number of traps and chemical deterrents I could try, but most of my fellow chipmunk sufferers admitted many of these deterrents don’t work and there are far too many chipmunks to trap all of them. Then I came across this curious little site that proclaimed the wonders of mothballs. The site said to place a bunch of mothballs in the holes around your house and it will keep the chipmunks away.

With few other options, I ran out and bought a big box of mothballs. Then I went around the exterior of the house and dumped them in as many holes as I could find. Several hours later, my husband got home. I dragged him back outside to the garden to show him my brilliant solution. “UGH!” he exclaimed, pinching his nose. “What stinks out here?!” “Mothballs!” I said proudly. “It’s going to keep the chipmunks away!” “That’s great, honey,” he said, backing up. “But guess what?” “What?” “It works on husbands, too!” Tracy Beckerman is the author of the Amazon Bestseller, “Barking at the Moon: A Story of Life, Love, and Kibble,” available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble online!

Proposal details

The proposal by Garden City New York Media includes the following items, according to the material supplied in the Board’s agenda at the May 19th meeting: • A professional photography shoot for each of the 37 members of the subcommittee to obtain high-quality headshot photos for digital, press and social media. • Film and produce an on-camera interview with Mayor Cosmo Veneziale introducing the five subcommittes he established • Develop, design and publish a social media campaign to alert village residents to additional important information such as forums, to answer questions about the proposed referendum. • Film, edit, produce and publish the mayor’s subcommittee video updates on St. Paul’s on social media (Facebook, Instagram, Youtube) and email. • Publish subcommittee reports on social media so village residents can make an informed decision in the referendum.

Mayor and trustees’ comments

The mayor noted that St. Paul’s communications subcommittee’s proposal

was less than costs for other recent mailings. He said mailings regarding village water quality, made by the prior Board of Trustees, was in excess of $16,000. He said the cost of presentation materials for the “ill-conceived St. Paul’s hockey rink” was $26,000. “In light of such expenses, none of the sitting trustees should be taken aback by the communications subcommittee’s request. The request by the St. Paul’s communications subcommittee to inform residents of the potential adaptive reuse or potential historic demolition of St. Paul’s is most certainly necessary and appropriate,” the mayor stated. “I ask all the trustees to support the transfer of funds, but above all to support the tremendous efforts by the resident volunteers to provide the village with a referendum as to the fate of the St. Paul’s main building.” Trustee Bruce Torino said, “The rationale for not funding the request of the St. Paul’s committee because it may appear that the Board and/or committee may not be neutral is conflating issues. From my position, a committee has been tasked to provide information on what to do with St. Paul’s. I am seriously disinclined to micromanage how they do their task. Nor do I oppose what appears to be a reasonable request for a monetary a expenditure to support the

dissemination of information. That does not mean that if the committee comes back to the board with further request for money that I would be in support thereof. But for what has been presented to us, candidly, I cannot see the transfer of this money and the paying of invoices to in any way show that the Board is biased in any way.” Torino went on to say, “In response to those individuals who suggest that the information is not appropriate and they have a different position, I would invite them to provide to the Board their presentation and request for funding. And assuming that it was reasonable that the Board should in fact go forward and present contrary opinions.” Trustee Mary Carter Flanagan, who had initially questioned the cost of the campaign about the expenditure during the prior meeting, said that her comments at that meeting should not reflect on the work of the subcommittee. She said her point had been to emphasize the importance of putting forth facts instead of opinions. She said she had been concerned that there is a fine line between providing facts and giving opinions, and the prior ad had raised concerns. “I appreciate the work, and I think perhaps we keep it to what everyone agrees it should be, putting out facts so

we have an informed referendum and staying away from divisiveness. I think everything should be reviewed so we make sure nothing slips through that’s going to be upsetting and divide us during this process.” Trustee Charles Kelly said that he is concerned that the prior advertising, which had focused on the history of the building, appeared to be a preservation piece. “To perceive the referendum as fair, information on both sides has to be put out.”

Comments from committee members

Committee member Betsy Andromidas said, “We’re just giving facts on what it could be if you save it, what it could be if you demolish it. We don’t make commentary on anything. The different committees like architecture or finance give us their report. We’re only giving out information we are given.” Committee member Francine Ryan said, “Social media campaigns are about having someone who knows what to post, how often to post, how long it should be. It’s all about conveying the facts that we have come up with in all these reports to the village to as many people as possible will get the information.” She added that the committee would like to have a survey to understand residents’ views”

2032 Garden City Hard Hat Lacrosse League The Garden City 2nd grade boys lacrosse program was a 8-week “in house” league that featured six teams playing each other on Sunday’s at Stewart Field. The boys competed each week while also participating in a weekly fundamentals practice as a grade at

St. Paul’s. The teams were coached by Garden City parents and the Garden City Varsity boys team helped referee every Sunday. The boys improved learning the skills of the game and most importantly had fun playing with each other.

Kendal Morris (#1), Meghan Rode (#21) and Caitlin McNaboe (#22) are all smiles after the opening draw and play.

Senior captain Meghan Rode (#21) ceremoniously took to the field for the opening whistle. Meghan was injured early in the season, taking her out of play.

Senior attacker Olivia Cappello (#17) had one goal and three assists against Baldwin.

Senior defender Maggie Moran (#26) takes the ball into the offensive zone.

On Wednesday, May 18, Garden City Girls Varsity Lacrosse kicked off the Nassau County Class B play-offs with a shutout win against the Baldwin Bruins, 20-0 securing an 11-3 overall record and an 8-2 in-conference record. What made this victory even more golden was that it took place on Senior Day. At the opening whistle, all eleven senior players took to the field together to kick off the playoff series, including captain Meghan Rode, who had suffered a season-ending injury in one of the first games this spring. What a special moment to see all eleven seniors play together in what would be their last home game on the Garden City High School turf. After

winning the opening draw, the ball found its way to the Syracusebound captain Meghan Rode, and the coaches called time-out. Amidst cheers and a standing ovation from the crowd, the seniors ran to rally around their injured teammate. While out for field play for the season, Meghan has played an integral role in mentoring and rallying all the players, especially the underclassmen on the team. Garden City dominated on offense with a broad team effort: Olivia Cappello (1G, 3A), Katie Gaven (2G, 2A), Maureen Arendt (2G, 2A), Caitlin McNaboe (2G), Kristen Hegarty (2G), Regan Backer (2G), Kathryn Monaco (2A), Marie Cacciabaudo (1G), Carla Curth (1G),

Senior Kate Gambino (#25) takes the ball up the field.

Senior defender Gwen Liberopoulos (#2) with the turnover.

Maggie Moran (1G), Maeve Dorney (1G), Sheila Mullins (1G), Grace Hopkins (1G), Kendal Morris (1G), and freshman sliders Meaghan Lynch (1G), and Arci Haffner (1A). The team owned the draws, winning fifteen of twenty-two total. The staunch senior defenders of Kate Gambino, Maggie Moran, Kasey Prybylski, Catie Kephart, and Gwen Liberopoulos kept the Baldwin offense at bay, while senior goalie Amanda Grimes racked up five saves. Garden City will next face off against Mepham in the semi-finals on Wednesday, May 25, at Adelphi University at 4 p.m. Best of luck to the Lady Trojans in their play-off journey in the coming weeks!

The goal scoring was spread out with many boys contributing — Jay Ottomanelli (4), Jack Cascadden (3), Jack Archer, Aidan Considine, Michael Fargione, Henry Gibbons, Ryan Maher, Andrew Ottomanelli, James Paisley, Brandon Rosenblatt, Tanner Schmitt, Luke Schmitt and Brendan Staub. After the game, the whole team

and the senior parents enjoyed dinner in the cafeteria with some special desserts, provided by Jeff Polizotto — Dunkin Donuts owner and GC resident. Because the team finished the season in first place, they earned a bye for the first playoff game. They played their first playoff game, the quarterfinals, on Monday, May 23, at home against the Mepham Pirates. The game was a decisive win, with a final score of 18-0. Goals were scored by Michael Fargione (4), Jay Ottomanelli (4), Aidan Considine (2), Luke Schmitt (2), Brandon Rosenblatt (2), Ryan Maher, Blake Cascadden, James Paisley and Andrew Ottomanelli. The shut out was preserved with excellent play from the whole defense and goalies Chris Allen, Patrick Blum and Rocco D’Amelio. The playoffs continue with the Nassau County Semifinals on Friday, May 27. The Trojans will take on Long Beach at Hofstra at 2:00. They boys would love your support at the game. Go Trojans!

With friendships to last a lifetime, they have shared together the joy and celebration of championships and wins and the heartbreak of losses. They are cherishing every minute on the field for their final playoff ride together. The event started with a brief ceremony before the game honoring the senior players and their parents, announced by senior Jack Stankey. The players presented the senior girls with bouquets of flowers and the girls’ mothers were given a single pink rose. The game was dedicated to senior captain Carla Curth’s mother, Rose Curth, who passed away seven years ago after a two-and-ahalf-year battle with brain cancer. At the beginning of the season, the senior captains decided to have a kick-off charity event at Cycle Bar in Garden City to

raise money for the Rose Curth Cancer Foundation, which was set up to fund rare cancer research. The event raised over $5,000 for this important cause near and dear to the entire GC Trojan family. After the team’s 20-0 shut-out victory against Baldwin in the Class B County Quarterfinal game, the girls and their families celebrated with a post-game reception under sunny skies. As is tradition, the juniors and their parents hosted the event honoring the senior class. The underclassmen made posters for the seniors, which adorned the fences around the field, and presented the seniors with special personalized gifts, perfect for college. The reception continued with a delicious catered dinner by American Beauty Restaurants, personalized cookies, and a surprise ice cream truck. This was a fantastic event to celebrate the amazingly talented senior players. Best wishes for future success for these twelve girls as they move onto college next year. Go Trojans! • Captain Carla Curth, attacker, will play Division 1 lacrosse at Binghamton University.

Senior captains: Carla Curth, Meghan Rode, and Caitlin McNaboe will all be playing Division 1 Lacrosse next year in college.

Sacred Heart lacrosse team advances to finals

The Lady Spartans of Sacred Heart Academy.

The Lady Spartans of Sacred Heart Academy advanced to the Catholic High School Athletic Association Championship, having beaten Kellenberg Memorial High School in the semi-final round but ultimately fell to St. Anthony’s. Conference awards were extended to Kellenberg Memorial High School (Sportsmanship Award), St. John the Baptist (Coach of the Year Award), senior goalkeeper Caitlin Boden (Sacred Heart, Conference MVP) and senior attacker Ava Biancardi (St. Anthony’s, Conference MVP). Despite finishing in second place, Sacred Heart had a

successful 2022 season beating nationally ranked non-conference powerhouses like Oak Knoll and Ridgewood. The team will graduate in June 15 seniors, many of whom will continue their lacrosse careers at the collegiate level (Captain Cate Bendowski [Quinnipiac], Captain Caitlin Boden [James Madison University], Captain Kyra Browne [Wesleyan], Captain Julia Regan [Delaware], Captain Shannon Maier [Marist], Kayleigh Chin [Fairfield], Scarlet Cifarelli [Winthrop], Kendra Daly [Lafayette], Sonny Lionetti [ASU], Sophia Paesano [Univ of Chicago], Katie Knapp [Richmond], Maddie Cannon [Lafayette],

Catherine O’Brien [Providence], Courtney Cummings [Wake Forest], and Colleen Stringer [St. Joseph’s] ). With thirteen returning players, including sophomore standouts – Charlotte Browne, Kaitlyn Cole, Elizabeth (“Minx”) Darcy, and Kaylee Fravert -- the Spartans are excited about the 2023 season. Each of Browne, Cole, Darcy, and Fravert made the Varsity team as freshmen and have been integral to the Spartans’ successes on the field during the last two years. Browne, a multisport Varsity athlete who earned the 2021 SHA Rookie of the Year award, is talented at the draw, a great 1 v 1 dodger, and an all-around team player. Cole, a Garden City resident and multisport Varsity athlete, is a starting defender whose ability to lock down opponents, cause turn overs and clear the ball effortlessly makes Cole a defensive force. And, Cole’s exceptional speed and field IQ is unparalleled. Cole, along with Rosalie Haffner, will be critical to the Spartan defense for the 2023 season. Darcy, an attacker known as a precision feeder and a player with a strong outside shot, was key to the Spartan offense this year. Whether finding the open player or burying one in the back of the net, Darcy got it done! Fravert, also a multisport Varsity athlete who is never out hustled, put up big offensive numbers for the Spartans this year. Fravert manages to find the back of the net even in the toughest of circumstances and is masterful on the crease. Along with Fravert, Darcy and Browne, Jane Pfeiffer (A), and Sienna Prisco (A) are expected to be major components of next year’s offensive unit. A big thank you to the exceptional SHA coaching staff -- Morgan Molinari O’Connor (ND), Amy McGlynn (Villanova), Cara Urbank (BC), and Danielle Etrasco (BU). We wish all of the SHA seniors continued success both on and off the field and look forward to next season!
