Villages tackles ‘trash talk’ with new pails, cameras
ON TO THE FINAL
BY RIKKI N. MASSAND
resuming Commission meetings in mid-September. The CPOA liaison to the Traffic Commission, Pat DiMattia, spoke last week on behalf of residents who want changes to be made and restrict the free LIRR commuters’ parking. “People are parking there long term and going on the LIRR. My husband, like many residents, goes to NYC every day and we buy the sticker to park in the village’s
After recent letters to the editor, concerns brought up at POA meetings and the visible issues of trash and litter getting out of control in Garden City, in particular in commercial districts and walkable areas set for another summer of Friday Night Promenades, the Board of Trustees’ meeting last week saw several steps taken to combat the potential deterioration of public spaces and quality of life. At the Board of Trustees’ May 24 meeting, Deputy Village Administrator and Superintendent of Public Works Joseph DiFrancisco commented on two contracts awarded to bidders (vendors) from out of state who will supply the village with better infrastructure to collect trash in public spaces. Problems have been reported to Village Hall for several years, with most concerns over trash ‘piling up’ in the village’s downtown of south 7th Street. First the trustees spoke about new solar-powered waste and recycling compactor systems, as nine pails were approved from the lone bidder for the capital project, Bigbelly company in Needham, Massachusetts at a cost of $107,346. The vendor will furnish, deliver and install the receptacles here. “The pails have solar power generated from their tops. They’re double pails with one garbage side and one recycling side, both sides have compactors inside them and inside pail itself there’s like a garage door-type beam, a line (height inside the pail) that triggers the compactor to come on and crush down the garbage to the point until it gets full. When it can’t compact trash any more and needs to be emptied, there is a cell phone in it and it sends notification to the DPW to empty it,” he said. Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi said the village’s initial plans include rotating and moving the solar-power cans to areas that need more efficient public garbage collection. Three pails will be on the south side of Franklin Avenue and two on the north side, with coffee shops being a priority location (Dunkin’ Donuts and the French Workshop). The new garbage pails will be placed in busier areas

Parking field 7N problems studied BY RIKKI N. MASSAND
With residents of Hilton Hall in attendance again and expecting some progress after eight months of speaking up to the Village Board of Trustees, the Garden City Traffic Commission and the Central Property Owners’ Association (CPOA), news of a late summer deadline to review and consider changes for village parking lot 7N came forward at the Commission’s May 24 meeting.
Residents have told the trustees, Garden City’s police and administration that the imbalance of unregulated LIRR commuter parking and commercial vehicle parking have led to frustrations each day for 7th Street apartment buildings’ occupants, in particular during the week. Now more than 12 weeks may go by before the Traffic Commission meets next, as the bimonthly schedule may see a usual summer break for July and

A WORD FROM THE PUBLISHER
De-trashing downtown
We are glad to hear that the Village of Garden City will be addressing the ongoing problem with litter, especially in parking areas. It seems that the problem is worse this year, than others, but that may be because people are acting more like slobs than they used to. We've seen motorists casually toss trash out the windows of their cars, without a thought as to who would clean up after them. Just as social discourse seems to have gotten a lot rougher in recent years, perhaps people care less about what others think about their slovenly habits. Just a thought. n
In other news, the Village is also going to study whether LIRR commuters are parking in field 7N, making it difficult for residents of Hilton Hall to
find spaces during the weekly workday. Hopefully, that will result in help for what some residents say is a problem. n

School Board has questions
Mayor Brian C. Daughney 315 Stewart Avenue Garden City, New York 11530 Dear Mayor Daughney, Since the Village of Garden City’s board meeting on May 10th, the Board of Education and administration of Garden City Public Schools have received multiple inquiries from parents and residents regarding 555 Stewart Avenue. Residents are deeply concerned about the Village’s short and long term plans for development within the Village and the School District. The Village has been diligent in its efforts to keep the public informed, and we are deeply grateful for your outreach. We recognize that the School Board and administration have no direct voice in the community development process; that 555 Stewart Avenue and future development projects fall clearly under the Village’s jurisdiction. In spite of this, we have been receiving many questions from residents that can only be addressed by the Village. Moving forward, we anticipate zoning decisions made by the Village will impact our school district enrollment and our tax base. Further, we anticipate any IDA-approved PILOT (Payment in Lieu of Taxes) will shift the tax burden of 555 Stewart Avenue, and any future development projects, to our homeowners for the benefit of the project developers. Garden City taxpayers shoulder nearly 90% of the cost to support and maintain our outstanding, nationally-recognized public school district. The District receives very little New York State and federal aid, and these dollars have steadily declined over the past ten years. Further, as you know, the District is restricted by the state’s tax cap law, limiting our annual budget increases. Under the cap, the District receives no additional funding for increases in enrollment, the primary factor in planning for both staffing and space utilization in a school district. By law, the District is only permitted to budget one year at a time, and all capital
projects for additional space or changes in utilization must be approved by residents and then by New York State. This requires that we be able to anticipate changes both to state requirements and potential enrollment increases many years in advance. In an effort to keep our community fully informed about the proposed project and its impact on the School District, we would greatly appreciate your help in providing responses to the following questions that have been posed to us by parents and other community members: • What is the Village government’s long-term master development plan for Garden City, especially as it relates to future multi-family housing projects? • Are additional multi-family dwellings currently being considered? • Is the Village aware of any additional information as to the enrollment impact of 555 Stewart Avenue to the Garden City Public Schools that confirms the Developer’s number of 17, or supports a different figure? • What will be the direct and indirect financial impacts to Garden City taxpayers of 555 Stewart Avenue? • What is the project timeline for 555 Stewart Avenue? We hope that you can provide answers to these questions so that Garden City parents and taxpayers can clearly understand the vision you and the trustees have for the future of our Village. The Garden City Board of Education Angela Heineman, President Tom Pinou, Vice President Robert Martin, Trustee William C. Holub, Trustee Stefanie Granville, Trustee
Just say NO
To the Editor: Just say NO at the June 7th Trustee See page 29
BY RIKKI N. MASSAND
Last Thursday the Garden City Village Board of Trustees approved a request to re-bid the capital project of installing scoreboard for the multiple sports making use of Community Park’s revamped, state-of-the-art fields and facilities. Considerations included a higher than anticipated bid for the project that was proposed and rejected, as well as the timing of the bidding process with a busy summer and sports season on village-owned fields. After a lengthy discussion by the Board of Commissioners of Recreation and Cultural Affairs (Rec. Commission) on Wednesday, May 16 during its meeting at the senior center, department head of Recreation and Parks Kevin Ocker told the Board of Trustees of the plan to supply scoreboards for the new investments in synthetic turf fields, specifically to design a two-sided, 25-footlong and single-mount scoreboard to face the new Multi-Use field, Field 3, and Field 4. With the initial specs on the project, the village’s consultants at Cameron Engineering had estimated the cost for the scoreboard to be close to $160,000.
Although the village has experience working with LandTek for many portions of a refurbished Community Park, its base bid of $228,000 for the scoreboards was believed to be significantly over budget, Ocker explained. “We had awarded a proposal to Cameron Engineering to do the design and we had some discussion in the Commission’s meetings for placement and how to best situate two scoreboards, and we decided on the back-to-back out in right field of Field No. 2. Cameron bid the project with us and its design. The bid came in way over and it was a problem to have just the one bidder. Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi advised us on using the E-bid system to allow us to get more bidders through that system, and we will also bid the scoreboard packages differently. We’re pretty confident that with a re-bid we will get fair pricing on scoreboards for the MultiUse field and Field No. 3,” he explained. At the time of the Rec. Commission meeting an add-alternate to the capital project of a separate scoreboard for Field No. 4 will be in the bid packet.

Traffic Comm considers stop signs, priorities BY RIKKI N. MASSAND
Last week the Village of Garden City Traffic Commission met for the first time since March and voted to approve a stop sign for Mayfair Avenue and the northeast corner of First Street. The request was put forward by Linda Kong of First Street months ago, and the Eastern POA send its recommendation to support the installation of the stop sign. The Traffic Commission took a look at the intersection’s accident and vehicle volume data recorded in 2015, 2016 and 2017, with a report from the police department dated Friday, May 18. In 2016 there were three accidents at First and Mayfair; in 2017 there were another two accidents. In 2015 there were no accidents at the intersection. Garden City Police Commissioner Kenneth Jackson said the data recorded for this intersection in the East does meet criteria for a four-way stop sign as outlined in the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices, known as the MUTCD which he often references on Traffic Commission requests for action. The average number of vehicles on First and Mayfair each day is over 13,548. The MUTCD criteria calls for intersections
to have a stop sign if the traffic volume is over 6,000 vehicles a day. Also the intersection has had three crashes in a 12-month period (2016) and five in the two year (24-month) period into 2017. “We have that data recorded within the last three years, so this intersection meets two of the three main criteria listed in the MUTCD,” Jackson said. Trustee John Delany said that section on northeast First Street warrants a stop sign, “no questions about it” and the Commission voted unanimously in favor of it. The Commission deferred another request in the East, as resident Margaret Gardner wrote to install a four-way stop at the intersection of Tremont Street and Poplar Street. In consideration of the four-way stop request, the EPOA met and its Vice President and liaison to the Traffic Commission Steve Ilardi said the vote was to deny the request due to the traffic data not supporting a four-way stop’s criteria. The GCPD recorded an average of 23 vehicles per hour at the intersection. The traffic flow observed was 217 vehicles eastbound and 257 vehicles westbound. As for accidents, Tremont and Poplar See page 8

saw one accident in 2017, none in 2015 or 2015, but one accident in each year before that (2013 and 2014). Gardner was in the audience May 24 and she addressed the Traffic Commission with a petition signed by residents for the four-way stop. She says there has been confusion why most of the longer streets in the East section of Garden City have stop signs, yet where the school is there isn’t one. She called it an unsafe situation. The EPOA noted that speed and accident data there “do not seem to warrant” the four-way stop and the visibility at all four corners of Poplar and Tremont “appears adequate.” However the EPOA deferred to the Garden City Police recommendation which was based on MUTCD standards. EPOA liaison to the Commission Christine Mullaney spoke about reasons for deferring to the police department as Locust School is a long walk from that spot, but nonetheless in the vicinity, but visibility in this area appears clear. “There is also a school bus stop to consider and we did have concerns over the safety of children around, but we didn’t find that traffic data supported a four-way stop,” she said. There was debate between Mullaney and Gardner over the placement of stop signs in the immediate area nearest Locust School and also for pedestrian crossing (neon signs). Police Commissioner Jackson said the county and state Departments of Transportation were the authorities that develop “school zone” signage guidelines and placement, but the village would be able to review the safety aspects related to residential streets too. The Commission agreed to have the police department and village officials keep an eye on traffic at Tremont and Poplar and if more accidents are recorded, then additional signage and traffic control could be considered. Garden City Mayor Brian Daughney sat in for the Traffic Commission meeting last Thursday evening, which immediately preceded the Board of Trustees’ regular meeting. He informed the Commission of a plan to seek action to mitigate the bad buildups of traffic heading to the Garden City Pool, due to a stop sign heading south on Rockaway Avenue. The Commission is not scheduled to meet again in time for a change before the start of pool season this June, but an ad-hoc meeting is not out of the question as Mayor Daughney told the new Commission chair, Trustee Stephen Makrinos, while their meetings are usually once in two months the summer session (July or August) is usually
skipped. Also on May 24, the Commission considered a request from resident Wayne Kolins of Cherry Valley Avenue regarding safety along his main road and especially its intersection with Tenth Street. After consideration from the Central Property Owners’ Association Board of Directors the Traffic Commission expanded the request to include an overview of accident data at Cherry Valley’s crossings with Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh Streets and especially the high rate of accidents at Ninth. The CPOA has requested further analysis “to determine the causes of these accidents and to explore options to reduce speed and improve safety at these intersections.” Trustee Makrinos introduced five-year survey data from the GCPD for years 2013 through 2017 for the stretch of Cherry Valley Avenue. In the five-year timeframe at Cherry Valley and Ninth Street had 42 accidents; Cherry Valley and Tenth Street saw 15 accidents, while Cherry Valley and Eleventh saw 17 accidents. Commissioner Jackson noted the traffic light at Cherry Valley and Ninth Street and says it is a heavily-traveled road, but 19 of the 42 accidents in the five recent years were related to bad weather (rain, snow and ice). The CPOA’s liaison to the Traffic Commission, Pat DiMattia, says her POA requested the reduction of the speed limit on the stretch, although visibility from the road was considered as an issue. Jackson says he and Superintendent of Public Works Joseph DiFrancisco went to observe the location and noted the large trees along Cherry Valley to the left, but the shoulder is adequate for drivers to pay close attention. He says the intersections on Cherry Valley had seen tickets written for Failure to Yield or ‘Failure to Stop at a Stop Sign.’ “Mr. DiFrancisco and I talked about a little different type of game plan when there’s a snowstorm or heavy winter event. DPW will make this one of its priority areas to sand as it is needed. Also we will have our traffic officers keep their eyes on the location to enforce any traffic violations,” Jackson said. DiMattia said a traffic light is certainly not the recommended action as there would be too many to install for one stretch, and Nassau County has not been so fast to install lights or address many on-road situations within Garden City. She noted that CPOA meetings are held each month at the new golf Club Lane senior center, yet the residents are still waiting for the county to install a light right at its intersection with Eleventh Street.

This weekly column is intended to advise our residents and community of matters that our Board of Trustees and Departments are working on, events and other important information. And of course, please visit our website for additional information: www.gardencityny.net. We are constantly updating the website in order to keep it relevant and provide new information. Please feel free to suggest additional ways we can help communicate with our residents. We also encourage you to attend Village Board of Trustees meetings.

Community Park Scoreboard Update
E-Bidding system to be utilized Trustees rejected the sole bid received for the installation of scoreboards at Field 3, the softball, Little League and multi-use fields and Field 4 at Community Park. Landtek was the only bidder and the company came in over the estimated $160,000 budget range. This project will be re-bid using the e-bidding system, which is an electronic bidding event (without awarding commitment) according to defined negotiation rules (eAgreement). A buyer and two or more suppliers take part in this online event. The vendor out of Rockland County known as RevPlans built a prototype for the Village modeled after existing municipalities around New York State and the scoreboards project will be the first to use the system. There’s no cost to the Village to set it up and use it. The system will help get the Village great exposure, which in turn will bring more competitive pricing.

The Village has purchased 20 new, larger capacity trash receptacles for the business district. Eleven will be placed inside Parking Field 7S while an additional three or four will be added to Seventh Street to supplement the newly purchased solar pails. The Village purchased nine solar powered waste and recycling compactor systems. The top of the pail is a solar panel. The pail itself has a compactor built into it. When garbage breaks the plane of the laser inside, it automatically engages the compactor to crush the garbage to handle more capacity in the pail. While a standard pail may hold 50 gallons, with the compactor a pail can hold up to 150 gallons. These “smart” garbage receptacles are built with cell phones inside them to send a text or
email to Village personnel notifying them when the pails are full and need to be emptied. Three of these receptacles will be placed on the south side of Franklin Avenue, two on the north side of Franklin Avenue, one at the St. Paul’s complex, one in the parking lot near Grimaldi’s and V-Spa, one along New Hyde Park Road in the West and one at the Garden City Pool, which will then be relocated once the season ends. In light of the recent resident complaints about litter around the Village, Mr. Suozzi said, “This is one way to combat litter.” He also noted that crews from the Recreation and Parks Department regularly check Village common areas. “We are proactively dealing with it,” he added. It has also come to the attention of the Board of Trustees that several merchants are not properly disposing of garbage but instead leaving it curbside behind their stores. Department of Public Works Superintendent Joseph DiFrancisco is aware of the situation and does have the authority to issue fines. Further, Mayor Brian Daughney pointed out that the eight cameras installed in Parking Lot 7S will also help monitor the situation. Commissioner Ken Jackson said Police Officer Paul Hennessy will visit each merchant to remind them of the Village ordinances regarding disposal of trash.
Memorial Day Parade & Ceremony
Despite the unpredictable weather, residents lined the streets to help honor the war dead on Monday, May 28, 2018. William Bradford Turner Post 265 of the American Legion conducted its annual parade and ceremony, which this year also included a re-dedication of two large plaques from the original Doubleday building on Franklin Avenue. The parade made its way to the War Memorial on Seventh Street where keynote speakers joined residents in honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Christopher Blume, an Army veteran and immediate past Commander of the William Bradford Turner Post, served as Grand Marshal. He appealed to Garden City’s veterans. “For those of you out there that served, please join. Get involved,” he said. Mayor Brian Daughney, who marched alongside Trustees Stephen Makrinos, John Delany and Colleen Foley, added, “We are honored by your service, your presence and we want to thank you as well as present members of the military, for all that you do.” The Mayor further thanked Vietnam veteran Cyril Smith, the Garden City Historical Society and Public Works and Recreation and Parks crews for all their work in
relocating the Doubleday plaques to Seventh Street. Legion Commander Frank Tauches, assisted by drummers Sarah Colletti and Caroline Feryo from the Garden City High School Band, read aloud the names of the war dead from Garden City. Buglers John Blume and Jack McShane, also from the Garden City High School Band, played Taps under the canopy of the newly installed gazebo. The benediction, offered by The Very Rev’d Michael Sniffen of the Cathedral of the Incarnation, closed out the ceremony. Joan Nedelka, president of the American Legion Auxiliary, perhaps summed up the day best: “I see this day as a three-part symbol of devotion: first, we should honor the dead that made the supreme sacrifice so that we can live in freedom. Then, it is only fitting that we honor the silent, suffering members of the Armed Forces who returned home physically, emotionally or psychologically crippled. For example, those veterans confined to a hospital such as the thirty men in Ward 8A in the Northport Veterans Hospital whom our Auxiliary adopted. Lest they be forgotten. The third part of this day should be concern for the men and women who are currently
serving in our Armed Forces around the world for they are the veterans of the future.”
Employee Recognition
Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi praised the teamwork of the various Village Departments in helping to re-locate the Doubleday plaques and prep the Seventh Street War Memorial site ahead of this year’s Memorial Day Parade and Ceremony. He thanked Richard Freda, supervisor of the Central Garage, and his crew, for building the steel frames both plaques are resting on; Fred Sylvia, general supervisor of the Highway Department, and his team, for moving the plaques to Seventh Street and for positioning and mounting the plaques into the ground; and crews from the Recreation and Parks Department for doing “a beautiful job” planting the red, white and blue flowers around the plaques. He also thanked Superintendent of Public Works Joseph DiFrancisco for coordinating the overall effort with his team, plus a multitude of vendors and contractors; and also the Board of Trustees for supporting this historic initiative, particularly Deputy Mayor Theresa See page 10

Village seeks WAWN candidate
The Village of Garden City is seeking a candidate to serve as a board member of the Water Authority of Western Nassau, which services a small section of Garden City, including the streets west of New Hyde Park Road and several streets in the “Haven” section on the Village’s northern border. This is a Village of Garden City appointment; it is a one-year, renewable term. In 1996, the Water Authority acquired the Nassau County portion of the water supply and distribution system in Western Garden City, previously owned
by Jamaica Water Supply Company. The position is one of the Authority’s nine non-salaried Board members. The members consist of 2 appointed by the Town of Hempstead, 2 appointed by the Town of North Hempstead, and one member each appointed by the village boards of the remaining villages served by the Authority - Bellerose, Floral Park, New Hyde Park, South Floral Park, Stewart Manor and Garden City. The Board meets once a month, on the third Monday, at their headquarters in New Hyde Park. Members receive a package mailed to their home approximately one week prior to the meeting. Review of the packet generally takes about 1-1/2 hours depending on content. A basic working knowledge of Public Policy and Finance is helpful. Meetings begin at 7PM and generally run an hour or so. To the extent there is anything significant to report, some interaction with the Western Property Owners Association (WPOA) or Garden City Board of Trustees would be expected. However, press releases as to meeting notices and quality testing are sent from the Authority directly to the GC Village Administrator. Occasionally, the Garden City board member will serve as a liaison between residents and the Authority on matters of service, billing, etc. The Board is comprised of a great group of folks. John Ryan, Esq. is the Chair and Dominick Minerva, Esq. is counsel to the Board. Both are well qualified and they attend each meeting as
on Washington Avenue and issued a ticket to the front passenger for not wearing a seatbelt. In addition, the driver of the vehicle, a 61 year old Hempstead man, was arrested for driving while his license was suspended for a prior DWI offense, driving with a revoked registration, and uninsured operation. False alarm: On May 27th Garden City Firefighters and Police responded to the Bank of America on 7th Street where a witness stated a male subject pulled the fire alarm in the ATM vestibule and left the scene prior to the arrival of emergency responders. Upon investigation, there was no fire at the scene. Leaving the scene arrest: On May 28th Garden City Police arrested a 20 year old East Meadow man for allegedly leaving the scene of a vehicle crash on Ring Road on May 25th. Purse taken: On May 29th a purse was reported stolen from a vehicle parked at the Garden City Nursery School.
does Michael Tierney, Superintendent of the Authority. The Village appointee will succeed John A. Ardito, Esq. a member of the WPOA, Garden City Board of Zoning Appeals and the Town of Hempstead IDA, and the former longtime Garden City Water Authority director, Herbert Brown, who also lives in the Western section of Garden City

Chief Brian G. Gallo, Garden City Fire Department
GC Fire Department’s Chief Gallo to Receive Service Honor on Behalf of the GCFD’s 100 Volunteers
The Mineola-Garden City Rotary Club anxiously awaits the opportunity to present its 26th annual “Community Service Award” to the Garden City Fire Department’s 100 volunteers. Department Chief Brian Gallo will represent the Department’s four chiefs along with proud volunteer firefighters at an awards dinner to be held on Wednesday evening, June 13, 6pm at the Garden City Country Club. (For complete information, please see the full-page invitation elsewhere in this issue.) The Garden City Fire Chiefs took their oaths of office this past April. Chief Gallo will continue to serve as chief of the Department aided by 1st Assistant Chief Thomas Strysko, 2nd Assistant Chief Devyn Moody, and Third Assistant Chief Neil O’Malley. Accumulatively, the GCFD Chiefs have proudly dedicated 78 years to fire protection service. Having joined the GCFD in 1991, Chief Gallo, a New York City Police detective, was assigned to Chemical Company, where he served two years as lieutenant followed by one year as
captain. Chief Gallo is certified in a wide range of department operations. The Garden City Fire Department has served the residents of Garden City for more than 100 years. Today, the GCFD boasts 100 volunteers. A combination of volunteer and paid firefighters, the Department’s dual mission is to ensure the safety and security of Village residents and businesses by performing the vital service of firefighting and prevention. All GCFD firefighters train weekly to ensure their readiness to respond to the nearly 100 calls per month, which include an array of emergencies that may arise such as hazardous materials, elevator rescues, vehicle accidents, plus carbon monoxide and gas leaks.

Paradise in the North Fork!
In the spring of 1991, I took this final photograph at St. Paul’s School just before it closed forever. In 1990, the girls from St. Mary’s School came over making the school co-ed with the name “The Cathedral School of St. Mary’s and St Paul’s.” The headmaster hired me to try and get a photograph of the entire student body, faculty and staff. It was a foggy morning as I recall and a large ladder was placed against the flag pole out in front of the school for me. After I positioned everyone, I went over to the ladder and up I went with no one holding the ladder for me as they were all in the photo! The result was great, though, as it captured a moment in history.

News from the Children’s Room Back to Sports: Youth sports National Donut Day safety & physical activity
Welcome June! Friday, June 1st is National Donut Day, which honors the Salvation Army “lassies” of WWI. It is also a day to fund raise for needy causes of the Salvation Army. The original Salvation Army Donut was first served by Salvation Army in 1917. During WWI, Salvation Army “lassies” were sent to the front lines of Europe. These brave volunteers made home cooked foods and provided a morale boost to the troops. Often the donuts were cooked in oil inside of the metal helmet of an American soldier. The American infantrymen were commonly called doughboys. Salvation Army lassies were the only women outside of military personnel allowed to visit the front lines. Lt. Colonel Helen Purviance is considered the Salvation Army’s “first donut girl”. Come into the Library and borrow a book about donuts: The Case of the Missing Donut by Alison McGhee, The Donut Chef by Bob Staake, Jampires by Sarah McIntyre, If You Give A Dog A Donut by Laura Numeroff, The Boxcar Children: The Doughnut Whodunit by Gertrude Chandler Warner, The Doughnut Fix by Jessie Jannowitz, or The Great Doughnut Parade by Rebecca Bond.

Coffee & Tea by the Book: Love and Ruin
Garden City Public Library Wednesday, July 18th @ 9:30am In-Person Registration Tuesday, June 19th @ 9:30am In person registration for Garden City Library cardholders begins on Tuesday, June 19th at the Reference Desk of the Library for the next Coffee & Tea by the Book discussion. The program will be held on Wednesday, July 18th on the Lower Level at 9:30am sharp. Librarians Laura Flanagan and Ann Garnett will moderate a discussion of Love and Ruin by Paula McLain. After the success of The Paris Wife — which gave the floor to Hadley Richardson and Pauline Pfeiffer, the first two wives of Ernest Hemingway — Paula McLain has returned with Love and Ruin, a novel about wife No. 3: the reporter and novelist Martha Gellhorn. The book is fueled by Martha’s questing
spirit, which asks why must a woman decide between being a war correspondent and a wife in her husband’s bed? If we ignore the white whale that is Ernest, this novel questions how to combine romantic desire with a drive to live for yourself. It’s a quandary, both for McLain and her fiery protagonist, and the solution isn’t easy. You can pick up a copy of the book Love and Ruin when you register at the Reference Desk. Copies of The Paris Wife will also be available at the Reference Desk for those who have not read it or would like to re-read it. You are welcome to bring your own coffee or tea. In person registration on June 19th is limited to Garden City Public Library cardholders. Non Garden City residents may register beginning July 11th if space is available.

29 Email: Editor@GCNews.com From page 2 Meeting to the proposed zoning change to allow a 150 multi-bedroom apartment building to be built on Stewart Ave. instead of the already approved 25 townhouses. The lawyer for the builder is addressing the Trustees and others as though the building had already been approved. The builder wants to enjoy a PILOT (payment in lieu of taxes) rather than pay school taxes. Wouldn’t it be lovely if you and I could live in Garden City and not pay school taxes? Why should this building be exempt? Saying NO to the zoning change will solve many current concerns. No resident I have talked with wants this huge building. Trustees are supposed to represent fellow residents. When residents say NO, Trustees should honor the request and just say NO. There is no benefit - only liability to the residents and Village of Garden City. Just say NO Cynthia Brown

Nightmare for taxpayers
To the Editor: Governor Andrew Cuomo continues to be overly optimistic concerning building a train to the plane for LaGuardia Airport. In 2016, New York State awarded a $14.6 million contract to Parsons Brinckenhoff for design and engineering. In 2017, the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey has added $55 million bringing the total amount of their approved project funding to $70 million leaving a $930 million shortfall. This funding is just see money which will finance the start of a very long journey. Success for this project is depen-
dent upon the Port Authority and MTA working well together. Seventeen years after 9/11, the Cortland Street World Trade Center #1 IRT subway station is still many months away from being back in service. If there are no new delays, perhaps the station will reopen by December 2018. The Port Authority & MTA fought for years over budget, funding sources, scope and schedule. Construction for the MTA portion of the project started in 2015. In early 2014, Governor Cuomo said the estimated cost for construction of the LaGuardia Air Train would be $450 million. At the time, this was based upon a planning feasibility study. Over four years have passed since Cuomo announced this project with little progress to date. There are no environmental documents or any preliminary design and engineering efforts necessary to validate any actual construction costs. The environmental review process will be further delayed. More time will be needed to look at new proposed concepts of building the Air Train over the Flushing Bay Promande or Flushing Bay. Building the Air Train over one of these two concepts versus the original option of using the Grand Central Parkway median could easily add several hundred million to overall construction costs. I previously wrote that the anticipated final potential cost for La Guardia Airtrain could end up several hundred million dollars above Cuomo’s estimated figure of $450 million. I also predicted that the promised completion date by 2019 was unrealistic. Both have proven to be true. The Port Authority 2017 - 2026 capital budget plan lists this project at $1 billion. Costs will be further refined as the project progresses thru the environmental review process, preliminary and final design, award of construction contracts followed by change orders to the base contracts during construction. Cuomo’s belief that this will provide a “one seat ride” for those traveling to and from LaGuardia Airport isn’t born out by the facts. There will be significant conflicts when the LaGuardia Airtrain is built and open for service with connections to both the Mets Willets Point subway and LIRR stations. Why would any LaGuardia Airport bound travelers with luggage attempt to squeeze in on already packed AM & PM rush hour subway and LIRR trains? Cuomo apparently never considered how this issue will be resolved when contemplating this project. Cuomo in 2014 promised that the LaGuardia Airtrain would be up and running within 5 years by 2019. Now he has said this will occur by 2021. Even this date appears unrealistic. Completion of the environmental review, preliminary and final design and engineering may require another three years. You will be lucky if con-
struction begins in 2022 and completed by end of 2025. Most Nassau and Suffolk County residents will never take the LIRR to LaGuardia via Jamaica and Woodside Stations. Only Port Washington branch riders have a straight connection. For everyone else, first, you would have to either drive, have someone else drop you off or leave your car at a LIRR station for several days or take a taxi. Most LIRR station commuter parking lots are designed for same day usage and not overnight multiple day storage. Who would want to leave your car in a unattended lot overnight over several days with no security? For those traveling from diesel territory branches (including those commuting from stations east of Huntington to Port Jefferson, east of Mineola to Oyster Bay, east of Babylon to Speonk or Montauk and east of Ronkonkoma to Greenport), you would probably have to first change at either Huntington, Babylon, Mineola or Ronkokoma. Next, change at either Jamaica and or Woodside to board a Port Washington bound train to Mets Willets Point. There is no room to run additional trains in or out of Penn Station during either a.m. or p.m. rush hours via the East River tunnels with connections via the Port Washington LIRR branch to any LaGuardia Air Train. This conflicts with Cuomo’s promise to have the MTA LIRR introduce a new frequent service between Penn Station and Mets Willets Point LIRR Station. No mention of a similiar service from Grand Central Terminal once LIRR East Side Access is achieved in December 2023 or later. Three of four East River tunnels running inbound during a.m. and outbound p.m. rush hours have very tight spacing
between trains. One tunnel is shared by the LIRR, New Jersey Transit and Amtrak for reverse train movements with equally tight spacing during rush hours. There is no platform capacity at Penn Station to accommodate any additional trains during rush hour. Penn Station is currently operating at 100 percent capacity during both a.m. and p.m. rush hours. If one of the four tunnels is temporarily out of service, the result is numerous delays and cancellation of trains. Completion of Communication Based Train Control for the Flushing to Hudson Yards #7 subway line followed by implementation may only result in increasing the number of trains per hour from 30 to 32 in each direction during rush hour. After that, NYC Transit no longer has any other opportunity for increasing rush hour capacity. A true one seat ride could be accomplished by simply extending the N & W subway lines from their current terminus at Astoria/Ditmars Blvd to LaGuardia Airport. This previously died due to local community opposition. To build a train to the plane from Mets - Willets #7 subway and LIRR station to LaGuardia Airport within five years for $1 billion is a planners dream. In reality it will be a nightmare for both taxpayers and riders. You can count on cost overruns in the hundreds of millions and multiyear delays in construction before reaching beneficial use.

Every three minutes, someone is diagnosed with a blood cancer and you could be the cure. Leukemia, lymphoma, neuroblastoma, multiple myeloma, and other cancers can all be treated with a bone marrow transplant. A bone marrow transplant is often the last resort and hope when traditional cancer treatments with chemotherapy and radiation have either failed or wouldn’t have been a solution. You could save someone’s life by donating marrow to cure someone’s cancer. Please come be a lifesaver by joining the National Marrow Donor Program at the Belmont Festival on Friday, June 8th between 5:30pm and 7:30pm. The process for joining the National Marrow “Be The Match” Registry is easy. You are first fully informed about the donation process, and then you wipe the inside of your cheeks with a provided cotton swab. (That process allows the registry to test your specific bone marrow typing, and add it to a list for future patients who might need a bone marrow transplant.) The whole thing takes about 20 minutes and can be done right at the Belmont Festival. Eligible donors are between 18 and 44 years old. At the drive, you don’t actually
donate marrow; you’re just saying you’d be willing to do so in the future if called upon. The chances of being called upon to donate are roughly 1 in 430. If you are chosen as the best match for a patient, the patient’s doctor will ask if you’re willing to donate either bone marrow or peripheral blood. (80% of the time the process to donate is a non-surgical procedure where blood is removed from one of your arms, passed through a machine to collect stem cells, and returned through your other arm). This is an important commitment and does involve time and doctor’s appointments, but there is no financial cost to the donor (it’s covered through the National Marrow Program and the patient’s insurance). After donation, most donors are back to their normal routine within a few days. Because only 1-5% of your marrow is needed to save the patient’s life, your immune system stays strong. Your cells replenish themselves within 4-6 weeks. Your recipient will be grateful for a lifetime. For more information, please contact chloecrogers@gmail.com, or visit our table at the Belmont Festival on June 8th between 5:30pm and 7:30pm.

Left to right: Chapter Regent Leslie Dimmling swears into office June Fay (Chapter Historian), Abagael Fagan (Chapter Registrar, and Genealogical Records Committee Chairman), and Heather Zawislak (Chapter American Heritage Chairman, and Hospitality Chairman). Members of the Colonel Aaron Ogden Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, met on May 19th for their final meeting before breaking for the summer and resuming in September. Regent Leslie Barnum Dimmling chaired the meeting, which had a focus on community service issues. A collection of school supplies for the students at Kate Duncan Smith School, a DAR supported school in the Appalachia area of Alabama, was successfully concluded by Schools Chairman Carla Hall D’Ambra. Also, various supplies and donations for our Veterans at Northport VA hospital were collected by Veteran Patient Chairman Arlene Kister. Chapter Treasurer Janet Littlejohn announced the three recipients of the Chapter’s ROTC medals, presented to student cadets, from two area high schools and one local college. Chapter member Heather Zawislak, a professional social worker, reported on the disturbing issue of suicide among women, suggesting stronger awareness of the problem must be raised in order for society to address it effectively with support and therapy. American Indians Chairman Abagael Fagan reported that enough funds were raised at the recent chapter luncheon at Westbury Manor from the sale of voices for her handmade quilt to provide a scholarship to send a Native American child to American Indian Youth Summer Camp this year. Kudos, Abby! Fagan, newly installed as the Chapter Registrar, also arranged for the applications of 3 prospective members to
be signed at the meeting and sent to Washington DC for verification. Chapter member Heather Zawislak was presented with a vintage DAR china bell featuring seamstress Betsy Ross. This was to acknowledge her being chosen a winner in the DAR American Heritage Craft Contest. Heather won first prize in NY State, as well as National first prize, in the category of Costume, for her hand sewn recreation of a WWI nurse’s uniform. Bravo, Heather!! Heather becomes the chapter’s new American Heritage Chairman. Following the presentation of the reports, Chapter Regent Leslie Dimmling administered the swearing in of several Chapter members into their new positions as Chapter officers and Chairmen. A lovely luncheon was enjoyed by the ladies, followed by a very interesting program presented by Conservation Chairman Isabelle Smith, “Save the Bees!!” Using photos and graphs from conservation societies around the nation, Ms. Smith reported that bees are dying off at alarming rates, to the detriment of agricultural production ,which cannot exist without them. This is due primarily to the overuse of household pesticides. Citizens are advised to use more non-toxic, natural ingredients to control weeds and other pests (check online for ideas), and are urged to plant “bee friendly” native species of plants in their gardens. As a special treat, Ms. Smith made bee shaped cookies to share at the luncheon! Chapter meetings will resume in September. Photo by Carla Hall D’Ambra.

THE VIEW FROM HERE
Anatomy of a revolt BY BOB MORGAN, JR. One frequent criticism of the national news media is that it tends to be excessively focused on trendy metropolitan areas in the East and the West Coast, while ignoring large numbers of folks in “flyover” country, whose concerns are perceived as largely ignored. Indeed, both President Donald Trump’s election in 2016 and the failure of political pundits to predict his victory have been linked to a failure to understand the needs and desires of people living in less fashionable areas of the country. In an interesting and well written new book, The Great Revolt: Inside the Populist Coalition Reshaping American Politics (Crown Forum 2018), Salena Zito and Brad Todd provide an in-depth analysis of the Trump phenomenon as it was manifested in largely overlooked populations. Specifically, the authors spent a great deal of time interviewing 300 people who voted for Mr. Trump in key largely Rust Belt counties in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Iowa and Ohio that suddenly switched to Mr. Trump in 2016 after having repeatedly supported Democratic candidates in past elections. The book tells their personal stories, political and nonpolitical, in considerable detail. In addition, Mr Todd’s polling company provides in-depth statistical analysis of Trump voters. The stories of how these voters came to support Mr. Trump are obviously varied, but the authors divide their interviewees into a number of categories. There are blue collar workers (including union supporters) concerned about the loss of manufacturing jobs and skeptical about globalism and trade agreements. Another group, frequently in very rural areas and including women, was very concerned about losing gun rights and what they perceived as the loss of the ability to protect themselves. Then there was a group of political independents, similar to those who gravitated a generation ago to Ross Perot, who were attracted to Mr. Trump and his somewhat untraditional ideological message and suddenly decided to engage with the political system. While these voters were generally not particularly religious, another group of Trump supporters included strong evangeli-
cals who, despite Mr. Trump’s checkered personal life, believed that their religious beliefs would be protected by the promise (ultimately fulfilled) of a conservative Supreme Court nomination. And not a few Trump voters were upset at the change of the Democratic party from emphasis on multicultural rather than working class themes. (On the other hand, while some Trump voters were focused on immigration issues, building the Mexican wall was on the whole actually a fairly low priority.) The interviews with Trump supporters make clear that many of them diverge from traditional Republican voters in their suspicion of big business and global engagement, while still very much attracted to some base conservative values like self-reliance and the importance of hard work. While, as the authors repeatedly mention, Mr. Trump’s support in Rust Belt areas and among blue collar voters was offset by losses among women and among well-educated and white collar voters, particularly in the suburbs, there were pockets of supporters even in these groups. In areas with relatively few college graduates, like many of the areas focused on in The Great Revolt, Mr. Trump held his own among the well-educated; the authors posit that there was less social pressure against supporting Mr. Trump where there was more interaction among people with different educational backgrounds. While even women who supported Mr. Trump were turned off by his Access Hollywood interview, his overall economic and populist message in some instances managed to overcome these concerns, even among suburbanites. The authors state that the Trump voters believe that they have a “sense of mission to right the wrongs put upon middle-class Americans by the indifference of big business, big media and big government”. Whether that vision will overcome other, competing political views, demographic trends that may be unfavorable or even the shortcomings of the President they have elected, remains to be seen. At least, however, Ms. Zito and Mr. Todd have given some pivotal Trump voters a better opportunity to be understood.

Community Park scoreboards re-bid via e-bid From page 1
created with the new synthetic turf fields as targeted capital investments for Garden City, the scoreboards were not part of the Nassau County requirements contract. On May 16, Ocker told the Rec. Commission this scoreboard “will be a great project, but the village and its Recreation Department needs to get the word out.” At the Board meeting Mayor Brian Daughney suggested to Ocker that the Rec. Department contact local municipalities such as the Town of Hempstead, Herricks or other villages that have recently had scoreboard projects on their fields to see if they can recommend any firm or help with reaching out to any vendors that could be interested. Ocker replied that this lack of bidders may have been more of a
timing issue, and putting up new scoreboards is a common project with several Long Island schools doing so each year. “You’d think there is more people interested and one other contractor picked up our plans and specs, but they did not bid. It could be attributed to scheduling a firm’s projects too,” Ocker said. Resident Rochelle Dowling commented at the Board’s meeting that there was a trend in the bids awarded, as more firms may have been invited to bid yet Garden City has not received too many competitive bids for various projects, including the two different contracts for new garbage receptacles approved by the trustees at the May 24 meeting. Administrator Suozzi lauded the E-bid system compared to the traditional bid specifications for capital projects advertisements published in newspa-
pers. Village Attorney Peter Bee says the village had no legal requirements other than an administrative task to include E-bidding, as it is another form of advertisement for bids. Suozzi says the vendor for the village E-bid platform will earn profits based on the contractors who bid for municipal projects, as there’s a cost for their downloads. The village receives “an expanded world of potential contractors” for projects at no cost. “People come to Village Hall and pick up a thumb drive of the projects. We have scrutinized the E-bidding through the Village Attorney and relation to New York State legislation, the E-bids are a more efficient way to supplement our bidding process. We still publish the specs and vendors who do not physically come to the village or who may be outside the geographic area just go
on the internet and they see the specs on our village website, and the platform hosting our site. If vendors want to place a bid they can download the specification sheets for $50 and they bid on a project. We already had the site built, we just had to turn it live and modify the bidding advertisements’ process to have newspaper ads direct vendors to our website,” Suozzi explained at the Board meeting. He anticipated a good return on the platform as theoretically advertising the municipal projects to a larger, broader base of vendors would increase competition and drive prices down on each project. “Hopefully these scoreboards will be the first test,” Suozzi said.

From page 1 where people tend to dispose of food and drink garbage. These areas include the strip of restaurants and banks behind Grimaldi’s Pizza and Perennial restaurant on Franklin Avenue; the New Hyde Park Road business district; north and south sides of 7th Street; the St. Paul’s recreation complex and at the Garden City Pool for pool season. DiFrancisco said the black, curbside pails that residents and visitors are used to in Garden City, especially on 7th Street and Franklin Avenue, will be bolstered by larger outdoor trash receptacles, approved by the Board for $49,698. Three vendors were invited to bid but the lone bidder for this capital project was Canterbury Designs of Los Angeles. DiFrancisco said the initial bid was for 20 large pails, and Suozzi explained that with the larger pails on order some non-solar and older pails now on 7th Street will be replaced with higher capacity ones. Eleven of the larger new pails will be placed behind Lot 7S. “We had come up with an idea last year to put the pails on poles in the lot, but then they were hard to reach and people would put litter on the ground before they reach their car. These will go on the sidewalks and strategically placed behind the businesses, with plans developed in coordination with our supervisor of sanitation. A lot of times litter has blown around out and was thrown from car windows, other times people have not had a place to
throw their trash so they’ve placed it on the ground,” Suozzi said. The Village Administrator said he and the village staff recognized the need to combat litter in Garden City, and they are directly addressing the Letters to the Editor about litter that appeared in the May 18 edition of The Garden City News. He says the Recreation and Parks Department check public spaces in the village and common areas, with the Clinton and Stewart Avenue greenspace as an example. “Staff comes in on weekends and go by there, look for trouble areas, and pick up the litter. The season is here for more people to be out and about and more litter to hit the ground – we are proactively dealing with it and we’re ready to address areas called to our attention,” Suozzi said. DiFrancisco also said much time has been spent studying and reviewing the garbage and collections in Garden City’s residential areas, and in particular through the end of May the concentration would be mainly in the East and Central sections of the village. Police Cameras ‘Big Brother’ for Lots, Trash The use of Garden City Police camera monitoring to enforce trash disposal ordinances and operations in commercial areas, including in Lot 7S, was also discussed at the Board of Trustees’ meeting on May 24. Police Commissioner Kenneth Jackson said there are eight cameras now in use. Mayor Brian Daughney called the police use of cameras in areas of the village “just the start” of the proactive
measures being taken. He said in Lot 7S and around other business districts, the village “can watch if the merchants themselves use the village-provided trash receptacles” or they dispose of waste inappropriately “tossing it wherever they want,” Mayor Daughney explained. “It’s just a start and something we are getting to on the Board of Trustees’ priority list (which was published one year ago). We need to do more with managing waste and more important assets such as water. We have noticed before that some merchants just tossed garbage around in Lot 7S and other lots instead of placing it in the nice receptacles that we had built for that purpose, so we will start ticketing people,” Mayor Daughney said. He instructed DiFrancisco and Suozzi to follow up with speaking to the village merchants, and in particular some in the Grimaldi’s/Cold Stone Creamery/ Perennial vicinity behind Franklin Avenue. Mayor Daughney said he personally saw eight bags of garbage right outside of the nail salon on the sidewalks in that location. At the May 24 meeting, a resident spoke to the Board of Trustees about 233 7th Street as a problematic place for trash to be placed on sidewalks. She said the commercial building is putting out all the garbage without hesitation, including some large construction materials and metals. The Board briefly discussed the status of that building and savings that may be achieved by a contractor, building owner of commercial
tenants by not paying for a dumpster or trash hauling service and by just leaving it out for the Village of Garden City sanitation to take it away. Trustee John Delany then confirmed that there’s an ordinance in place for the Village of Garden City to enforce if merchants, property owners or businesses do not properly dispose of trash. He added that enforcement could be the key “both commercially and elsewhere if people aren’t following village rules.” The issue of tracking down any business tenants (lessees) and responsible contractors working on a commercial building such as those on 7th Street and Franklin was also a priority for the Board, as village code enforcement and the Building Department would be involved. As a first step, Trustee Delany suggests that the village can provide more warnings on the required, proper disposal of trash and publish it as part of the weekly “Garden City News & Information” press release appearing in The Garden City News. He says the village can work hard to address parking lots full of trash and new receptacles being ordered, but if the commercial tenants and businesses are contributing to the problem “it is just not right.” Police Commissioner Jackson has worked with his officers and Public Works Superintendent DiFrancisco to visit merchants and let them know the rules of disposing trash properly. DiFrancisco says there will be fines issued if any businesses aren’t in compliance going forward.
Parking field 7N problems to be studied From page 1 designated train station lot. This issue has been going on for years and escalating and we should expedite any resolution to this. So many residents can’t get parking spaces,” she said. Trustee Stephen Makrinos said the Commission is still awaiting results of the Streetscape survey for the village’s downtown as Lots 7N, 7S and the other side of Franklin Avenue to 6th Street – referred to as Garden City’s T-zone – were being evaluated by consultants BFJ Planning to design improved parking and pedestrian accommodations. He told the audience last Thursday the study will be done and presented to the village by August. “I understand and when I found out it would come in in August, I was surprised too. At this point I think it makes sense for the survey results to come in – it just doesn’t make sense to do anything, put a plan in place as a stopgap, and then have to go and change it again,” he said. Makrinos became chairman of the village Traffic Commission in April
as the Board of Trustees re-organized, taking over the position previously held by Trustee Mark Hyer. The other two trustees present at the meeting on May 24 were the newest village trustee, Colleen Foley, and Trustee John Delany. Trustee Makrinos reasons that if the Commission voted in favor of adding a permit process or a time limit for people such as LIRR commuters, if the survey result called for a different remediation and approach to the downtown Garden City parking, it would leave the village in a precarious condition to have to rescind any permit or change the parking timings/signage again. Meanwhile at the meeting Trustee Delany was skeptical that residents, including those from Hilton Hall, do not find parking spaces in 7N during weekdays. They maintain this is their plight every day. DiMattia told the Commission she has observed commuter parking in the mornings and done her own, one-woman survey “of people going in, parking, walking to hop on the LIRR and they stay parked all day.” Trustee Delany was helpful to
consider a temporary order, but in suggesting for all parking in Lot 7N were changed to two-hour limited, residents would be burdened with moving their cars. He told DiMattia and the audience, “you can’t have it both ways.” She said permits for the whole lot may not work either, and the survey results should be followed up on now given the amount of time the firm (BFJ) has had to date. Trustee Makrinos advised that if the results of the survey arrive before August then if necessary, an ad hoc Traffic Commission meeting would be scheduled. DiMattia insisted that the residents’ problems in Lot 7N and the commuter parking become a priority topic not just for the Traffic Commission but the Board of Trustees, as clearly all of Garden City sees a revenue source not being utilized or standardized as people take advantage of “free train parking.” “I can’t believe the Board doesn’t find it problematic that people park in 7N and walk to the LIRR, go into Penn Station or Brooklyn with a car parked in Garden City. They do it daily without
any sticker or consequence in terms of payments. In that case I would like a refund for my husband’s station parking and I am sure other residents and commuters in Garden City also would request a refund – people get a freebie and I’m not. A lot of us do the right thing,” she contends. The issue was deferred by the Commission as Trustee Makrinos said addressing Lot 7N “has waited this long already” and he asked for patience for just a couple more months. But some residents spoke at the meeting and said the Planning Commission assigned to review the downtown parking and Streetscape should also be investing time into the matter. The Planning Commission has met infrequently over the past few years and single topics have dominated most of their meeting time, such as a recent building application on the Adelphi University campus. But the Streetscape has taken much time to develop, as has the reporting from BFJ Planning after a $38,130 contract was awarded by the Board of Trustees on October 19, 2017.

The Garden City Historical Society will hold its annual meeting on Thursday, June 14th, at 6pm in its Museum, located at 109 Eleventh Street. The agenda will include welcome remarks by President Mary Mahoney, a brief Treasurer’s report, including an update on the Society’s capital campaign fundraising efforts, and the election and installation of officers and trustees. Members and friends of the Historical Society are invited to attend; RSVP is requested by June 11th to Gloria Jones, 516-248-0042, or via email to events@ gardencityhistoricalsociety.org. Light refreshments will be served.
30th Anniversary
This summer marks the 30th anniversary of the monumental move of the structure that is now the home of The Garden City Historical Society Museum to its current location on Eleventh Street. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the structure is one of Garden City’s first ten houses (fondly called “Apostle Houses”) built in 1872. “Many residents have fond memories of seeing the building transported from Cathedral and Fifth Street, over railroad tracks and along Village roadways to its new home,” notes Kris Harder, a longtime Society trustee and co-chairman of the Society’s recent fundraising Gala. “While the interior saw a significant restoration in 2004-5, the restoration of the building’s exterior is now the goal of the Society’s capital campaign.”
Purchase of a period weathervane
The Society began restoration of the exterior of its Museum in November, under the able direction of Page Ayres Cowley Architects as well as Vinny Muldoon and his fine craftsmen at Old World Quality Corp. The project included repair to damaged window components, crown moldings, brackets, and siding. Workmen refurbished existing
window sashes and milled new circular wood trim. All molding and brackets that couldn’t be restored were constructed and installed to match existing materials. Workmen also removed the old roof of the cupola, and after applying a new plywood base, fabricated and installed a spectacular period copper standing seam roof and copper flashing. The Society has purchased a period weathervane, bearing the 1872 date when the structure was built, and in mid-May, workmen from Old World Quality fitted the weathervane to the top of the cupola. The Society offers its deep appreciation to Historical Society Trustee Kate Schmidt and her husband Karl, whose donation made possible the purchase of the weathervane. Please take a look when you pass the Museum. The Historical Society plans to offer additional ways in which supporters can have their donations reflected in the funding of different aspects of the exterior restoration work.
A.T. Stewart Awards
This year, the Society will take time to recognize the homeowners who were the recipients of its A. T. Stewart Awards. These awards, initiated in 2006 at the urging of the Society Past President Brian Pinnola, are presented in two categories: Residential and Nonresidential. The awards were established to encourage property owners and tenants who construct new or renovate existing properties to keep them within the historic nature and fabric of A.T. Stewart’s vision for Garden City. The awards also apply to those properties that have been maintained and cared for by their owners or tenant with the same consideration. Again, if you are planning to attend the Society’s annual meeting, please RSVP by June 11th, to Gloria Jones, 516-248-0042, or via email to events@ gardencityhistoricalsociety.org.

GC remembers war dead during Memorial Day services
Saluting the American flag during the singing of the National Anthem. Despite the unpredictable weather, residents lined the streets in patriotic garb waving American flags to help honor the war dead on Monday, May 28th, 2018. William Bradford Turner Post 265 of the American Legion conducted its annual parade and ceremony, which this year included a re-dedication of two large plaques from the original Doubleday building on Franklin Avenue. The parade made its way to the War Memorial on Seventh Street, where keynote speakers joined residents in honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Christopher Blume, an Army veteran and immediate past Commander
of the William Bradford Turner Post, served as Grand Marshal. He appealed to Garden City’s veterans: “As I handed the torch to Frank, the mission is to keep the traditions alive in Garden City,” he said. “For those of you out there who served, please join. Get involved.” Mayor Brian Daughney, who marched alongside Trustees Stephen Makrinos, John Delany, and Colleen Foley, added, “We are honored by your service, your presence, and we want to thank you, as well as present members of the military, for all that you do.” The Mayor further recognized Vietnam veteran Cyril Smith, the Garden City Historical Society, and crews from the Departments of Public Works and Recreation and Parks for all their work in relocating the Doubleday plaques to Seventh Street and prepping the site ahead of this year’s ceremony.

Grand Marshal Christopher Blume and American Legion Commander Frank Tauches led the Memorial Day parade. Hines Page, Doubleday’s original partner, was responsible for Doubleday’s move from New York City to Garden City. Susan Page Trotman, Mr. Page’s great-granddaughter, and her husband, Stanley, attended the ceremony. “It has been a wonderful journey,” Mr. Smith said. “The Doubleday plaques originally stood in the front entrance of the Doubleday building on Franklin Avenue. With the help of the Mayor, the Board of Trustees, Department of Public Works, Garden City Historical Society and so many others who made this project happen they are now permanently located fifty feet behind me.” Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi praised the teamwork of the various Village Departments, particularly thanking Richard Freda, supervisor of the Central Garage, and his crew, for building the steel frames both plaques are resting on; Fred Sylvia, general supervisor of the Highway Department, and his team, for moving the plaques to Seventh Street and for positioning and mounting the plaques into the ground; and

crews from the Recreation and Parks Department for doing “a beautiful job” planting the red, white and blue flowers around the plaques. He also thanked Superintendent of Public Works Joseph DiFrancisco for coordinating the overall effort with his team, plus a multitude of vendors and contractors; and the Board of Trustees for supporting this historic initiative, particularly Deputy Mayor Theresa Trouvé and Trustee Mark Hyer for participating in the planning of the event and the recent site visits it entailed. Drummers Sarah Colletti and Caroline Feryo from the Garden City High School Band assisted American Legion Commander Frank Tauches as he read aloud the names of the war dead who served during World Wars I and II, the Korean War, Vietnam, and Iraq. Buglers John Blume and Jack McShane, also from the Garden City High School Band, played Taps under the canopy of the newly installed gazebo. The benediction, offered by The Very Rev’d

or psychologically crippled. For example, those veterans confined to a hospital such as the thirty men in Ward 8A in the Northport Veterans Hospital whom our Auxiliary adopted. Lest they be forgotten. The third part of this day should be concern for the men and women who are currently serving in our Armed Forces around the world, for they are the veterans of the future.”
Friday, June 1, 2018 The Garden City News
Michael Sniffen of the Cathedral of the Incarnation, closed out the ceremony. Joan Nedelka, long time president of the American Legion Auxiliary, perhaps summed up the day best: “I see this day as a three-part symbol of devotion: first, we should honor the dead that made the supreme sacrifice so that we can live in freedom. Then, it is only fitting that we honor the silent, suffering members of the Armed Forces who returned home physically, emotionally

GCHS Girls Lax advances to County Final
Junior Caitlin Cook winning one of her 11 draw controls against Long Beach in the county semifinal game. The Garden City High School girls lacrosse team advanced to the Nassau County final after soundly defeating Long Beach last Thursday under the lights at Adelphi by a score of 12-4. As is the case in most match ups of top level teams in girls lacrosse, the game is won at the draw, and the dynamic duo of Liana McDonnell and Caitlin Cook on the circle proved just that by winning 14 out of 18 draws and giving Garden City possession throughout the game. Junior Caitlin Cook controlled eleven draws, a season high, and gave her team the dominating edge in possession. It took just 90 seconds for GC to get on the board on a blazing shot by junior Sarah Mackey, who scored first on an assist from freshman Alex Hopkins. The ensuing draw would be won by “Cookie,” who charged toward the Long Beach goal and drew a free possession shot. Caitlin, rather than shooting,
passed to Julia Kavan, who found a cutting Sarah Mackey, who put it into the back of the net for her second goal in less than three minutes! Long Beach on the counter was able to get a shot off on goal, which was saved by Emily Gaven. Emily cleared the ball to Kara Metzler, who passed it across the field to Amanda Cerrato in transition. Amanda carried the ball into the offensive zone and saw Julia Kavan cut towards the goal. As if she was threading a needle, Amanda passed to Julia, who buried it for GC’s third goal of the game.

Senior defenders and captains Catherine Conway and Deanna Weisenburger, along with juniors Kara Metzler and Amanda Cerrato, led the defense throughout the game, causing six turnovers and picking up seven ground balls to return crucial possession to GC’s offense throughout the game. The second half started like the first ended, with Liana McDonnell taking the draw and Caitlin Cook controlling it for possession, a play which repeated itself 8 out of 10 times in the second half. In addition to controlling seven draws in the second half, Caitlin also chipped in three goals, dominating offensively in the second half. Julia Kavan had another goal and an assist; Jenn Medjid had two more assists and buried a free possession for four points; Alex Hopkins added a goal and Sarah Mackey added
another goal and dished out an assist to Cookie to round out the scoring in the second half. Emma Ruckh, Erin Healy, Juliana Ingrassia, Lindsey Gambino, and MaryKate Dolan provided support in the second half to help seal the victory for the Trojans! Emily Gaven ended the night with seven super saves between the pipes, some right at the doorstep, which deflated any momentum Long Beach tried to muster. The girls played the Manhasset Indians last night, but due to deadlines, you will have to check back neck week for the results. Let’s hope they do what the boys did to Manhasset in their County final match-up and win!!!

June Bursts Out All Over with New York City’s Most Special Cultural Happenings
New York Philharmonic will bring its free summer concerts to all five boroughs between June 12-17 © Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com BY KAREN RUBIN, DAVE E. LEIBERMAN, LAINI MIRANDA TRAVEL FEATURES SYNDICATE, GOINGPLACESFARANDNEAR.COM
June abounds with some of the special happenings that define New York City: The 40th Annual Museum Mile Festival, the biggest block party in the cultural capital of the world, takes place on Tuesday, June 13, 6 pm-9 pm, rain or shine on a mile-long stretch of Fifth Avenue, from 82 Street to 105 Street. It is a fantastically festive event,
with street performers – clowns, magicians, bands – plus art on the street activities. Best of all, eight museums are open at no charge, many offer entertainment and special activities inside. Begun as an initiative to spur the development of new museum audiences and to increase support for the arts during the fiscal crisis of the 1970s, Museum Mile was formed as a consortium by the museums that share the Fifth Avenue address. It has become one of the most popular happenings in a city known for spectacular events – some 40,000 turn out. It’s such
a wonderful opportunity to visit museums you might not otherwise see – I am always surprised. Expect long lines and, if you are strategic in your planning, to get in about 3 or 4 museums during the course of the night, depending upon how much time you spend enjoying the street entertainment. Participating museums include: El Museo del Barrio, 1230 Fifth Avenue (at 104th Street), New York, NY 10029, (212) 831-7272 (http:// www.elmuseo.org/) Museum of the City of New York, 1220 Fifth Avenue (at 104th Street), New York, NY 10029 (212)

W R I T E R’S C O R N E R
When “reinventing” means creating something oh, so new BY CLAIRE LYNCH A few years ago I kept hearing the word “reinvent” over and over again. It seemed as if someone or something was constantly being mentioned in the news for reinventing himself, herself or itself, as in a company or a corporation. Sure I had heard the phrase, “someone reinvented the wheel” and I realized that it has two different connotations. One is why invent something that someone else already has invented? The second connotation is the fact that people actually have reinvented the wheel. I’ve seen skateboarders use cube-like wheels that feel perfectly circular when they are rolling. (theatlantic.com, 6/10/13, “This Guy Reinvented the Wheel ... by Turning It Into a Cube”) In this article, Megan Garber writes how inventor David Patrick, an avid skateboarder, stumbled (or, you know, skated) onto a way to reinvent the wheel as something that he claims is better than the traditional cylindrical model - something faster, more stable and more ground-gripping. Its inspiration, Patrick says, “came from a cube.” He calls his creation the “Shark Wheel.” I’ve also seen athletes, actors, politicians and others reinvent themselves – and start entirely new careers or approached how they handled existing careers in a totally different way. A good example is the former governor of California. Austrian-born Arnold Schwarzenegger (who served as governor of California from November 2003 to January 2011) had also in his younger days been a bodybuilder and later, an actor. I enjoyed seeing him in “The Terminator” in 1989 and “Kindergarten Cop” in 1990. Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as John Kimble in “Kindergarten Cop,” a tough police detective working
undercover as a kindergarten teacher to apprehend the vicious drug dealer Cullen Crisp before Crisp can get to his former wife and son. While working undercover, Kimble discovers his passion for teaching and considers changing his profession to become an educator. Arnold Schwarzenegger is pretty good in his new role as teacher and he is pretty amusing in the sense that he uses some rather unorthodox teaching methods. We, the audience, all know that he really was investigating this criminal activity but Arnold Schwarzenegger played a pretty good - and amusing teacher in “Kindergarten Cop.” Additionally, Arnold Schwarzenegger starred in other films that were pretty popular. I also knew that many professional athletes who played their sport then after retiring they went into very different fields. Retired NFL running back Emerson Boozer played in Jets’ AFL and NFL. When Boozer was drafted by the N.Y. Jets, they put him at halfback. Sharing the job with Bill Mathis as a rookie, Boozer worked hard and became a starter in 1967. His ability to block with intensity earned him a league-wide reputation. In 1967, with Snell injured, the Jets turned to Boozer as a rusher. In the first half of that season, Emerson Boozer showed what he could do. He often broke tackles and excelled in the open field. He had 10 touchdowns by mid-season and appeared ready to easily surpass the league record. But Boozer suffered a devastating knee injury against Kansas City that completely altered his career. Despite playing just half that year, he still led the AFL in rushing touchdowns for the season. Boozer’s work ethic
further revealed itself over the next two seasons. He wasn’t a breakaway runner anymore, however. Emerson Boozer changed himself into more of an outstanding blocker and goal-line touchdown scorer. (enacademic.com) Astronaut and politician John Glenn knew something about reinventing himself. On February 20, 1962, John Glenn piloted the Friendship 7 spacecraft, which was launched from Cape Canaveral in Florida. He orbited Earth three times during his mission, which lasted for nearly five hours. With that he became the first U.S. astronaut to orbit Earth. Several years later he ran for the Senate from Ohio, his home state. Already famous as a highly decorated military pilot and astronaut when he arrived in the Senate in 1974, John Glenn sought to become a leader in government. Glenn represented Ohio for 25 years. Along the way, on October 29, 1998, Glenn made a return to space on the space shuttle Discovery, and made history again as the oldest person to enter space at the age of 77. The nine-day mission had many goals, including an investigation on aging and space travel. The following year, in January 1999, Glenn retired from the Senate. Perhaps one of the most famous examples of someone changing careers and reinventing himself was Ronald Reagan. In this total transformation, Reagan went from being a Hollywood movie star to becoming the 40th president of the U.S. in 1981. Prior to the presidency, he was a Hollywood actor and union leader before serving as the 33rd governor of California from 1967 to 1975. Tampico, Ill., native Ronald Reagan graduated from Eureka College in
Eureka, Ill., in 1932 with a bachelor’s degree in economics and sociology. He decided to enter radio broadcasting. He landed a job as a sportscaster at station WOC in Davenport, Iowa, by delivering entirely from memory an exciting playby-play description of a Eureka College football game. Later he moved to station WHO in Des Moines, Ia., where, as sportscaster “Dutch Reagan,” he became popular throughout the state for his broadcasts of Chicago Cubs baseball games. Because the station couldn’t afford to send him to Wrigley Field in Chicago, Reagan was forced to improvise a running account of the games that were in progress based on sketchy details delivered over a teletype machine. He rose to the challenge and made the baseball games as exciting as he could. (britannica.com) While traveling with the Cubs in California in 1937, Reagan took a screen test that led to a seven-year contract with Warner Brothers studios. He spent the first few years of his Hollywood career in the “B film” unit. During the next 27 years, he appeared in more than 50 films, including “Knute Rockne - All American” in 1940, “Kings Row” in 1942 and The Hasty Heart” in 1950. In 1966, Reagan announced his candidacy for governor of California. When asked by a reporter how he would perform in office, Reagan replied, “I don’t know. I’ve never played a governor.” Reagan won the election by nearly 1 million votes. As U.S. president, in a speech Reagan made in West Berlin on June 12, 1987, he said, “Tear down this wall” as he called for the leader of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev, to open up the barrier which had divided West See page D7

Trying to Help Dad Led to Complications BY TOM MARGENAU
Q: My dad is 90 years old and I help him with medical appointments and managing important business affairs. We went to our local Social Security office to change dad’s address. While there, I asked to be added to dad’s account so that I can make inquiries on his behalf. The clerk signed me up to be his “representative payee.” Then a few weeks later, I got a letter explaining that I now was the only person responsible for dad’s Social Security account -- a designation that included reporting requirements to the government. That is NOT what I wanted. So we went back asking to revoke the representative payee status. This time, a different clerk told us we could not do that without a doctor’s note to say that dad can manage his own affairs. I got the doctor’s note, and we went back to social security office. Yet another clerk then made dad his own representative payee. So now, I’ve just transferred the burden of reporting to my father! Is there any way to explain things better to the folks at the Social Security office to get things back to dad’s original status? We just want him to be a regular person getting his Social Security in the regular way without all this payee stuff. Can you help me sort this out? A: First of all, let me reassure you that based on what you told me, everything seems to be back to normal. Your dad is just “a regular person getting his Social Security checks in the regular way.” But now let me review what happened in your case to explain how Social Security handles these cases. I must start out by making this important point: The Social Security Administration is very strict about privacy laws. Back when I was first hired by SSA in 1973 and sent to a training class, we spent the entire first day reviewing the privacy laws of Social Security records. Those laws require that NO information from your Social Security record can be disclosed to anyone else. Not even to a spouse, a grown child or a close relative. Because of those privacy laws, there is simply no way you could simply be “added to dad’s account.” But the law does allow someone to handle a relative’s or friend’s Social Security account IF that person is judged to be mentally incapable of handling his or her own affairs. And SSA calls that person a “representative payee.” So the only way you could be added to your dad’s account was to be named his payee. And being a payee means you are not only responsible for receiving and spending your dad’s Social Security checks, but also you are required to
report to SSA (usually once a year) how you spent his funds. It sounds like when you learned that, you decided you didn’t want to be your dad’s payee. So you went back to your Social Security office to reverse things. But frankly, I’m a little puzzled how you managed to do that. And here is why. Remember, I said that a representative payee can only be appointed if someone has been judged to be mentally incapable of handling his or her own Social Security affairs. So to be named your father’s payee in the first place, a doctor or other medical professional had to sign a form saying your dad was not capable of handling his affairs. And that means that to get yourself off of your dad’s record as his rep payee, some other doctor had to sign a different form saying your dad was capable of handling his own affairs. I hope you understand how confusing this sounds. But it does seem like the third SSA clerk you dealt with straightened everything out. You used the wrong term by saying they “changed the representative payee to dad.” I mean, every person getting his or her own Social Security check is technically his or her own payee, though not a formal “representative payee” in the legal sense of the term. So that’s why I am pretty sure things are back to normal. Your dad is now simply getting his own checks like he always was before. Having said all that, we can get back to your original issue. I know you are simply trying to help your father handle some of his Social Security issues. You certainly can do that on an informal basis. I’m sure there are millions of sons and daughters out there helping a very elderly mother or father. But because of those privacy laws I mentioned earlier, that help has to remain at home and remain informal. You just won’t be able to contact or deal with the Social Security Administration on your dad’s behalf -- as long as he remains mentally capable of handling his own affairs. Q: I have power of attorney for my mother. Yet, when I went to our local Social Security office to try to change her direct deposit account from her old bank to my bank, they wouldn’t let me do it. They said my power of attorney status meant nothing to them. They told me that my mom has to request the change herself. I explained to them that my mother was old and that it is difficult for her to get around. But that didn’t seem to faze them. How can I convince them that my power of attorney status gives me the right to handle all my mom’s legal affairs, including Social Security? A: You can’t convince them, because it’s not true. Your power of attorney status is essentially meaningless for Social Security purposes. Why? Because
you can get yourself appointed power of attorney for a variety of reasons, including the fact that you just want to help your mom out. In other words, your mom may be mentally capable of handling her affairs, but she just needs some assistance. And to re-emphasize the point I made about privacy in my answer to the first question, if she is mentally competent, then her Social Security records and information can only be disclosed to her. So if she
wants her checks now sent to your bank account, she should call SSA at 800-7721213 to request the change. If she is not capable of handling her own affairs, then you need to get yourself appointed as her representative payee. If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has the answer.

Not to mention biking immerses you in the life around you; you see the world at a pace slow enough to really see without a window to separate you, fast enough to see a lot, and you can stop where you want and really smell the roses, even chat with a local. You become a mobile ambassador of mutual understanding. With cycling growing in popularity worldwide, this is a good time to showcase but a few of the finest bicycle tours available.

(cycleoflifeadventures.com, 303-945-9886) One of my favorite bike tours because of the sheer number of interesting sites, sights, scenery is the annual Cycle the Erie Canal ride, which travels 400-miles, from Buffalo to Albany, following the Erie Canalway. The ride offers 400 miles and 400 years of history. This year’s, the 20th annual ride, is scheduled July 8 – 15, 2018 (www.ptny.org/canaltour).

The United Nations declared June 3rd World Bicycle Day in recognition of the positive impact bicycles have on human health and the environment, not to mention opportunities for people-to-people relations © Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com special biking events through such groups as the World Association of Cycling Events (http://www.wacebike.com/) There is a new online biking trip planner for the state of Maine, organized by the Bicycle Coalition of Maine, various biking groups and clubs (www. bikemain.org/wheretoride), as well as Maine’s annual 8-Day Bike Maine trip with 450 riders going 320 miles (2018 is fully booked). There’s also the Bold Cost Scenic Bikeway, 211 miles of low-traffic, on-road riding; you can get detailed online and printable maps, GPS data, and local information to organize a self-guided ride (BikeBoldCoast.com) Also, a 45-day cross-country bike tour, from San Diego, California to St. Augustine, Florida, with luxury accommodations (none of this camping stuff), fine dining, for $13,000, through Cycle of Life Adventures (they also have less ambitious itineraries).
a nonprofit which uses an annual Sojourn trip as a fundraiser for its advocacy of reclaiming and preserving unused rail lines for greenways. This year’s Sojourn travels 160-miles along the Delaware and Lehigh trail (D&L Trail) in Pennsylvania (railstotrails.org). Also, I have back-to-back bike tours set through one of our favorite bike tour companies BikeTours.com: the first is a weeklong self-guided bike tour from Venice to Trieste to Istria; then I will link up with a week-long guided bike tour of Slovenia.

Stony Brookside, Long Island’s First Bed-and-Bike Inn How about a biking weekend in the East End? Take your bike on the Long Island Railroad and come out to Stony
Brookside, what may be Long Island’s first bed-and-bike inn. Located in the historic district of Stony Brook Village, about 90 minutes from New York City, the Stony Brookside Bed & Bike Inn, which opened in 2016, is a colonial revival built in 1941 and designed by renowned architect Richard Haviland Smythe. The Inn has an artistic flavor and is decorated with pieces of original artwork by family members including artist Carol Buchman and a chandelier created from reused bicycle parts by artist Carolina Fontoura Alzaga. The offers a beautiful breakfast room, library, three bedrooms with views of the Stony Brook Mill Pond or the Stony Brook village, and a backyard. Guests have access to the breakfast room stocked with refreshments, a full living room, refrigerator, bicycle storage, on-site parking and the use of its new outdoor Yoga platform. Individual and group Yoga classes available upon request. There are many options for destinations within riding distance of the Inn – historic sites, wineries (local or the North Fork Wine Trail), Shelter Island, the Hamptons & South Fork, local festivals, hidden beaches, musical events. Shuttle service can be arranged. The inn can create a self-guided route based on your interest, goal and skill level, and will supply a Garmin GPS loaded with your route for your day’s bike tour. There are several loops that start and end at the Inn that give you the option to do one or more or call it a day – your choice. Or you can join a custom and individualized guided tour of your choice. Whether your goal is to train, sightsee, or have knowledgeable company along with you for the ride, we can lead you through the most scenic and historic of routes in the area. Bring your own bike, use one of the inn’s road bikes available to guests, or rent a bike from the local shop, Campus Bicycle (guests get a discount). You can also rent a Big Cat electric bicycle (this should be done in advance).

When “reinventing” means creating something oh, so new C ontinued from page D3 and East Berlin since 1961. He is known for many other accomplishments while president. (history.com) When defining words I like to look them up just to be sure of what they mean. According to the Cambridge Dictionary, to “reinvent” means to produce something new that is based on something that already exists: E.g., “The story of Romeo and Juliet was reinvented as a Los Angeles gangster movie.” Another example is: to change someone or something so much that the person or thing seems completely new. E.g., “He promised to reinvent government if elected.” Another example is: “At 60, he reinvented himself as a volunteer.” Certain words tend to go in and out of vogue and “reinvent” seems to be one of them. Then, suddenly, a few years went by and it occurred to me that I hadn’t heard that phrase in a while. The media has moved on to other words such as optics, binge watching (as in “I bingewatched a whole season of a favorite show on Netflix”) and “Seussian” (“of, relating to, or suggestive of the works of Dr. Seuss”). There is a place in our everyday language and lexicon, however, for reinventing. Sometimes people need to reinvent themselves for a variety of reasons. Taking a promotion or a new job can bring someone a healthy challenge, a new outlook on things and a fresh look at the job. Moving to a new home, whether it’s in the same town or city or in a totally different one can many times bring a fresh outlook on life. Traveling somewhere you’ve never been before can create a sense of relaxation, a new sense of interest and inquiry, and the chance to learn all about a new city, a new country, etc. I think that the saying, “Out with the old, in with the new” was created, after all, for a reason. For much of my life the people I knew went to work for a company or the government and stayed there for 40 years or more. They would start working there in their 20s, put in their time and retire in their 60s. They would ease into Medicare, Social Security and their golden years to travel and pursue hobbies or take volunteer positions that interested them. Many people started to make career changes when they were in their 30s and 40s. Some people made these changes voluntarily. Other
people started looking for work in others areas due to the fact that their company or corporation had downsized. When I was a child growing up in the 1960s and early 1970s in Rockville Centre, I never heard the word “reinvent” bandied about in conversations. In fact, my father worked a full-time job in Manhattan for 40 years after serving in World War II. He got on the LIRR at around 7:20 a.m., commuted to the city from Monday through Friday, worked from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. and returned home to have dinner with the whole family at 6:30 p.m. As far as I knew, my dad never had to reinvent himself. My friend Mary Sue’s dad worked a fulltime job on Long Island. He put on his suit and tie, grabbed his briefcase and lunch, and headed out to work each morning. He never had to reinvent himself - or anything that we knew of - at all. My friend Pam’s father worked for the Flying Tigers Airline (named after the Flying Tigers fighter unit of World War II which was officially the first American Volunteer Group) at Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, Ct. A supervisor who worked the second shift, from about 2 p.m. - 10 p.m., Hal put in 38 years then retired and collected a pension for the rest of his life. About halfway through his career, however, Hal reinvented himself as a worker on weekends at a nearby assisted living facility. They needed some extra help and Hal loved helping people and interacting with both the seniors and the staff. Another friend, Joe, worked full-time as an auto mechanic for 22 years in northern Connecticut. He had a real knack for diagnosing mechanical problems in cars and he was proud to do a good job every day. Joe wanted a change, however. He left that job to rescue kittens. Joe has them vet checked then he either adopts them out or takes them to an animal shelter. It’s his way of fulfilling the life-long passion he’s had for taking care of animals. My friend’s brother, Kevin, worked in a warehouse in Hartford, Ct., then made a geographical move to the Atlanta, Ga., area where he worked as a cook. To each his own. All I know is that times have changed and reinventing oneself has gotten more and more common. Sometimes life startles us into reinventing ourselves and sometimes we just want to make a change. Either way, reinventing oneself can be a great thing.

Garden City Trojans aim for the LI Championship
Liam Curtin with a premonition of an overtime goal?
Ground balls win games
The Trojans entered the County playoffs as the #2 seed. They would not settle for second best. After dispatching their first opponent, Long Beach, by a score of 20-3 at home, the action moved to Hofstra for a Friday night semifinal game versus South Side of Rockville Centre. The Cyclones came prepared to play and almost played the perfect game. They frustrated the Trojans with long possessions and a packed-in zone defense. The Trojans made some uncharacteristic turnovers and were generally flat most of the night. In fact, the Cyclones took an early 1-0 lead until the Trojans tied it on a man up goal from Liam Muldoon. In the second quarter, the Cyclones regained the lead on their man up opportunity. The Trojans tied it at two with another goal by Liam Muldoon off a feed from Liam Curtin. It was the last score of the half. The second half was a grind, with neither team giving an inch. Teddy Dolan was brilliant in goal, and the defense was its usual outstanding self. In what was an extremely unusual turn of events, there was no scoring by either team in the second half. The game went to overtime tied at two. Overtime is sudden death, which means whoever scores first wins. Therefore, every possession matters. As he has done all year, Justin Copolla dug deep and won the opening faceoff in overtime. After working the ball around, James Basile found a cutting Liam Curtin for a quick stick goal and win for the Trojans. The County final would pit the number 1 and 2 seeds in a rematch of last years final. The Trojans had revenge on their minds as Manhasset had given them their only loss in the county this season. Talk about a turnaround of events! After what could only be described as a lackluster performance against South Side, the Trojans played their most inspired game of the season. It started with the opening possession, when Justin Copolla sent notice it
Kyle Steinbach with his third of the day This is why they are the #1 D in the county
would be his night at the faceoff circle. On the first shot of the night, Kyle Steinbach drilled a point shot for the immediate 1-0 advantage. A couple of minutes later, James Basile twinged the net to go up 2-0. The defensive midfield of Tyler Wuchte, Matt Granville, and Danny Boccafola harassed the Indians midfielders relentlessly to create several turnovers. In the second, Trevor Yeboah-Kodie would not be denied, sliding past three Manhasset defenders for another highlight goal. James Basile immediately followed that up with his second of the game. Kyle Steinbach took advantage of a screened goaltender to put GC up 5-1. Liam Muldoon and Trevor Yeboah-Kodie added their second goals of the game for a 7-2 halftime lead. Unlike previous years, the Trojans did not take their foot off the gas in the second half. They were determined to continue their dominance in all facets of the game. A story of redemption played itself out in the faceoff circle, where Justin Copolla owned the night. An offense that was stagnant in their previous loss to Manhasset was diverse and attacking at will. The defense of Matt DiSimpliciis, James Buckley, Stephen Spirakis, and Colin Hart (with an assist) was unyielding. Third period goals by Kyle Steinbach, Justin Copolla, and Trevor Yeboah-Kodie surged the Trojans to a 12-3 lead after three quarters. In the fourth quarter, the onslaught was complete with Kyle Steinbach adding his third of the game followed by two in a row by Gavin Pappas, another from Liam Muldoon, and the final tally by Will Puccio. A Nassau County Championship in hand, the Trojans will face a Suffolk County opponent at Hofstra this Saturday at 3p,. Come out and show your support to this great group of boys as they vie for a second consecutive Long Island Championship.

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