School, village trustees disagree over development

HAVING A BLAST AT THE FAIR

BY GARY SIMEONE

Kathryn Carney Cole said on May 8 the CPOA has over 60 “sustaining” lifetime members who have contributed a one-time, $250 fee. So far in 2018, the CPOA has received what Cole called “a handful of renewals” on annual memberships ($20 per year for Central residents; $15 for senior citizens). She encouraged the 40 residents that attended the May meeting to bring their member status current

One of the main topics at the Eastern Property Owners association meeting at the Golf Club Lane Senior Center on Monday night was the proposed development at 555 Stewart Avenue. School board trustee Robert Martin spoke about the project, as did as Village trustees John Delaney and Mark Hyer. If the development were to be built it would contain Three stories with 150 rental apartments, and 15 affordable housing units. Martin said that his biggest concern would be the tax burden on the school district if the proposed development were to go through. “Just to make it clear, the school board does not oppose construction of this unit,” said Martin. “What the board does oppose is a long term PILOT (feasibility study) because it will shift the tax burden.” He said that according to the developer, 17 school aged children would be living in the development. “These are rental apartments, not co-ops. We would have to subsidize each one of these children and that is why we’re opposed to PILOT’s.” Martin said that the board had asked its attorney to reach out to the developer’s attorney to explain its position but that the developer had no interest in having a conversation. “The developer, who is a village resident, did not want to meet with the school board. To put it mildly, we were rudely rebuffed.” Martin said he was also disappointed with village officials because “there was no outreach from the village to the school board when they struck a deal with the developer.” Delaney said that Martin’s assertion that the village left the school board out of the loop on the project was untrue. “The Mayor has tried two or thee times to reach out to the school board on this,” said Delaney. “To say that the village had nothing with the school board is totally inaccurate.” He added that the since owning the property, the developer has paid over $1 million in school taxes and paid %100

CPOA seeks new members, plans event BY RIKKI N. MASSAND

At the May 8 meeting of Garden City’s Central Property Owners’ Association, a report on a lower membership total almost five months into 2018 became the target for a slew of ideas on outreach and public participation, starting with big plans for the CPOA’s ‘yearend’ party this coming Tuesday, June 12. When Mayor Brian Daughney stood in the same room inside the

Golf Club Lane senior center and addressed the CPOA audience last November, he commented on a perceived decline in participation within each of the village’s four property owners’ association. This notion was scrutinized and countered by residents considering a high number for membership in the Eastern POA, by far the largest of the four local, nonprofit organization homeowners’ groups.

A WORD FROM THE PUBLISHER

Summer is here!

Garden City's 22nd annual Belmont Festival will take place tonight, Friday, June 8th, from 6 p.m. until 10 p.m. on Seventh Street between Franklin and Hilton Avenues. This annual event is the kickoff for festivities surrounding the Belmont Stakes race, which will be held on Sunday. There will be food from local restaurants, music from live bands, pony rides, face painters and various other activities. Come out and enjoy a summer evening with your fellow residents! The festival is also the kickoff for the summer's series of Friday Night Promenades, which are scheduled to be held every Friday afternoon and evening from 6 p.m. through 10 p.m. on

Seventh Street. Those evenings have proved to be very popular with residents, and merchants who have stores on Seventh Street can use the extra traffic to show off their wares and maybe even catch a few new sales. The Belmont Festival and the Friday Promenades are examples of the good things that can happen when the Village government works well with the business community. Everyone has the Village's best interests at heart, and when the Village is able to promote local businesses (who in turn pay taxes to support the Village and schools), everyone benefits. Plus, who doesn't like having an ice cream cone on a warm summer night while listening to live music?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Email: Editor@GCNews.com

Who do our Trustees represent?

To the Editor: Bottom line: Any trustee who votes to approve the proposed development at 555 Stewart, as presently proposed, will show that they are no different that the politicians of Washington, Albany and Nassau County: they put special interests above the constituents who elected them. The potential for 300 more cars, increased enrollment in our schools and the insult of a loss of $1 million in school taxes should have quashed this proposal at the outset. In recent years, our Trustees, who seem only to have $$ signs in their eyes, have approved the development of a large restaurant and hotel just yards from this property on Ring Road, all in the name of increased revenue. No concern was given to the pleas of local residents and the impact these facilities would have on quality of life of all of us. If this monstrosity of a building is approved, it will make me question our present governmental structure, the Community Agreement. We need a system that holds our elected officials far more accountable than the present system. It is too easy for Trustees to kick the can down the road (water tower, infrastructure maintenance) and vote for short-sighted revenue enhancements (this project), the rotate off the BoT, with no consequences. M.P. Ryan

To the Editor: Governor Cuomoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s promise of significant increases in LIRR service to coincide with the Islanders Hockey Team stadium planned opening by 2021 at Belmont Park continues to be unrealistic. Conversion of the Belmont Park LIRR Station and other capital improvements such as additional track interlockings to provide improved and more frequent service to and from the future new Belmont Park Islanders Arena may take between three to five years. You may just end up with off

peak shuttle service between Jamaica and Belmont Park LIRR Stations. The most difficult challenge will be trying to provide full time rush hour service evenings in both directions. This may not be possible until both East Side Access to Grand Central Terminal begins in 2023 and renovations to all four East River Tunnels are completed by 2032. There is also the need for a bus terminal to accommodate Nassau Inter County Express (NICE), New York City Transit and private charter bus operators who may establish new routes for serving Belmont Arena. The Rockville Center NICE Bus Garage closed in April, 2017. This resulted in consolidation of the existing bus fleet to the Mitchel Field Bus Garage. In coming years, how will NICE Bus be able to provide additional new services to support LIRR East Side Access to Grand Central Terminal with new feeder services to various LIRR stations, future Nassau Hub Bus Rapid Transit project and the Belmont Islanders Arena at the same time? There is limited capacity at the existing Mitchel Field Bus Garage to accommodate all the buses transferred from Rockville Centre, let alone fleet expansion. Promised improvements for the existing LIRR Belmont Park station to accommodate many of the up to anticipated 18,000 Islander game attendees are years away from becoming a reality. There is only a series of closed door meetings between the New York State Economic Development Corporation with MTA & LIRR. MTA Chairman Joe Lhota said earlier this year that his agency must first perform a planning study. Several months later, there is no evidence any planning study is under way. This would be followed by design, engineering and construction. As I previously wrote, he also agreed with me that there is no current capacity at Penn Station to support new Belmont Park service. Future additional Belmont Park service would have to compete against new Port Washington branch service to Mets Willets Point for connecSee page 53

BY GARY SIMEONE A group who calls themselves the ‘Garden City Parents Against Pesticides Group’ aired their concerns about the dangers of pesticides at Village Hall last Wednesday night in front of the Village’s Environmental Advisory Board. “I had previously addressed my concerns to the Village Property Owner’s Association and Parks and Recreation to coordinate a ban on all pesticides on Village fields and playgrounds,” said Kelly Smith, spokesperson of the GC parents group. Smith said that children in the village were of particular concern because of the damaging effects pesticides have on their growing bodies. “They’re playing at our fields and parks after school, throwing water bottles on the ground, eating dropped Goldfish, and rolling around on these fields. Meanwhile, they’re picking up these chemicals on their clothing and this stuff is going right into their bodies.” She said that she and her group researched Garden City’s turf management program and found out about some of the pesticides that were being used on the fields.

Some of the pesticides on her list included Dimension Ultra 40WP herbicide, Trimec, and Merit Insecticide. “These pesticides have proven to be detrimental to wildlife, including animal and insect populations, and there is ample evidence to eliminate their use in our parks and fields,” said Smith. She did applaud the efforts of the EAB and the Recreation Department for beginning trials of a Cornell Universitysponsored safe sports fields initiative in three local parks. Those parks include Hemlock, Tullamore, and Edgemere. The initiative looks at alternative methods to applying pesticides, including installation of new irrigation systems, slice seeding, and inorganic compounds being used. “What further concerned me was that I didn’t think these types of discussions were happening in Garden City, but I’m glad to see that they are.” EAB President Robert Bolebruch, said that the EAB would look into exactly what kinds of pesticides the village is using, finding out how the High School maintains its fields, and organic products that can used as alternatives. “The bottom line here is that this is a safety issue for the children in our village “ said Bolebruch.

TOP 10 THINGS TO DO WHEN YOU ARE READY TO SELL YOUR HOME.

The Garden City News Friday, June 8, 2018

Winthrop, school officials address prom season concerns In advance of senior prom nights for so many Long Island schools, emergency, safety and educational leaders joined forces today at NYU Winthrop Hospital to address concerns about students driving under the influence or driving while distracted, and they shared precautions being taken to protect students. Representing NYU Winthrop was Dr. D’Andrea Joseph, Chief of the Trauma and Critical Care Division. She was joined by the New York State Executive Director of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), Rich Mallow, along with Nassau County Police and New York State Police. Representing area high schools was Carle Place Superintendent David Flatley; Mineola School District Assistant Superintendent for Human Resources, Edward Escobar; and Garden City High School Principal Nanine McLaughlin. Approximately 2,000 underage drinkers die each year behind the wheel, with alcohol a factor in a third of those auto fatalities. Far too often, those deaths occur on prom night, just as graduating students are about to embark upon promising futures – but instead have their lives cut short. “As a trauma and acute care surgeon, there are few worse things seen than when young adults become victims and die due to car crashes brought

on by drinking or distracted driving. We are physicians and healers, and it is heartbreaking knowing that the loss of life is entirely preventable,” said Dr. D’Andrea Joseph, Chief of the Trauma and Critical Care Division at NYU Winthrop Hospital. “For many Long Island teenagers, proms, and graduations mark the end of a chapter in their young lives. By emphasizing to them the dangers of drunk or distracted driving, we hope to ensure that there is a next chapter for them and that we do not see them in our Trauma Center after prom – or in any emergency room on Long Island.” Although drivers under the age of 21 represent only 10% of licensed drivers, they are responsible for 17% of fatal alcohol-related crashes, and drivers under the age of 20 make up the largest percentage of distracted drivers. “The purpose of prom night is to celebrate a milestone, to enjoy a special night with friends and classmates. But the celebration must be responsible,” said Garden City High School Principal Nanine McLaughlin. “Every student needs to understand that laws are in place to protect them. Drunk driving, driving under the influence, driving while distracted, or taking selfies while behind the wheel is not only irresponsible and foolish, but it could be deadly.”

standing warrants, one being for a sex assault offense in Southampton The goal of the Garden City Police Department’s Occupant Restraint Enforcement Program is to drastically reduce personal injuries and fatalities due to auto accidents through education and enforcement. Studies have shown that wearing a seatbelt can reduce the risk of fatal injury by 45 percent. According to the New York Governor’s Traffic Safety Committee (GTSC), statistics show unrestrained or improperly restrained occupants account for 21 percent of highway deaths in New York, greater than alcohol-related factors and speeding. Commissioner Ken Jackson said the Department’s participation in this effort was made possible through funding received from the GTSC with assistance from the Nassau County Traffic Safety Board.

Fire Department Computer Systems, Security

The Village of Garden City and the Garden City Chamber of Commerce will hold the 22nd annual Belmont Festival on Friday, June 8, 2018. Festivities kick off at 6:00 p.m. on Seventh Street. This family friendly event will offer pony rides, face painters, live music, local fare, alfresco dining and much more. For those who have attended in the past, you know this is the Village’s premier outdoor event. For those new to the Village, please come, shop and eat at our restaurants and bring your children. Alcohol (please drink responsibly) and other food and refreshments are available from our local restaurants. If you can, utilize the train and walk over to Seventh Street. Parking on and vehicle access to Seventh Street will be prohibited starting at approximately 4:00 p.m.

The Village has entered into a professional service contract with Alpine Software to operate the Fire Department’s computer systems and control all of the Department’s functions from payroll to call tracking. The system has been updated with new features to improve its use in the Department. Funds are available in the 2018-19 operating budget to fund this not to exceed purchase amount of $13,723. Trustees also entered into an agreement with Advanced Control Industries to provide door security monitoring for the Fire Department through May 2019. Funds are also available in the 2018-19 operating budget to fund this not to exceed approximately $2,000 agreement.

Buckle Up Initiative Results

The Garden City Police Department participated in the statewide BuckleUp New York enforcement initiative May 21 through June 3. The enforcement of seat belt and child restraint laws saves lives. During this initiative, highly visible patrols and checkpoints were conducted throughout the Village, targeting non-compliance to occupant restraint laws including child safety seat laws. Results of the initiative in the Village resulted in the following: • 67 tickets issued for occupant restraint violations • 28 tickets were issued for miscellaneous traffic violations • Two individuals were arrested for aggravated unlicensed operation (driver license suspended due to prior DWI offenses) • One individual was arrested for drug possession and three out-

22nd Annual Belmont Festival

Open Permits

In late April, the Building Department began mailing Open Permit letters as per Local Law 4-2017. These letters are parcel specific and residents whom have an open permit covered under this Local Law should have received a letter. Roughly 3,120 letters were mailed to address approximately 6,000 open permits in the system. To date, the Building Department has been receiving required documents from contractors and homeowners, processing them and closing out the open permits. Personnel are currently calling backlogged calls in the order they were received. The open permits first notice is complete, and as staff work through the list, homeowners are receiving their final certificates, closing the permits out while staff waits for the others to have final inspections or provide the

required final documents to close the permits out. Second notices will be sent out (tentatively) end of July/early August for all outstanding open permits. This is prior to the Oct 31, 2018 deadline. Although the Department is still dealing with high call volumes and long lead times for open permits, staff is asking residents to schedule a final inspection or provide the required documents prior to the deadline. We are aware that some “open permits” may actually have been resolved previously. One of the reasons that the Village is spending approximately $350,000 to digitize all Building Department records is to have greater control and access to all records and avoid paper mistakes or lost paperwork in the future. Many open permits can be closed by a simple inspection or by the filing of final paperwork by the contractor who completed the work.

Resident Handbook

The Garden City Resident Handbook provides, among other things, a brief history of the Village, emergency telephone numbers, a Village map with key areas of interest, a description of all Village Departments, Boards and

Commissions, garbage and rubbish collection schedules, an entire page dedicated to the four property owners’ associations and the important role they play here and a listing of some of the more commonly referred to Village Code regulations. The handbook has not been updated in over 30 years. Numerous phone numbers are listed incorrectly, sections are crossed out and photos are outdated. This is obviously not the impression we want to give new residents. The Mayor and Village Board requested that we undertake revisions to the handbook and it is nearing completion. Our public relations consultant, Carisa Giardino, is working with a vendor, Digital Graphic Imagery, to update the handbook. This vendor is familiar with the Village, as our consultant has worked with DGI several times in the past, most recently on the last two Annual Reports and the Recreation and Parks Department’s quarterly newsletter. A total of 2,000 handbooks will be printed and mailed to new residents. We will also be placing the handbook link on the Village website to serve as a quick reference See page 10

National Grid Pipeline Integrity Project

Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi, Commissioner Ken Jackson, Fire Chief Brian Gallo and Public Works Superintendent Joseph DiFrancisco recently met with a team from National Grid that included a Government liaison, one of their Project Managers and two of their project engineers to discuss a pipeline integrity project that involves the replacement of valves and fittings on existing pipeline, and performing robotic inspections. This work will begin in the coming weeks and it will ensure the safety and reliability of their system. Most of the work begins in Elmont but the eastern most portion of the work (Phase I) this summer will touch the western edge of Garden City in the area of Fairmount Street and Edgemere

Road. The meeting included discussions on all aspects of the project, traffic control, crew work hours, the Long Island Rail Road project (and that project’s re-routing of traffic into the Garden City area) and other matters related to nearby water mains and the potential for the disruption of gas and other utility services in the neighborhoods. The Garden City portion of the work is expected to begin in mid-July. The Village will receive a timeline of activities and National Grid will be coordinating with the Village regarding all start times. All information will be sent to the Board of Trustees, the Property Owners’ Associations and all residents in the nexus of the work area. The “Village Notifications and Alerts” box on the Village website homepage will be updated to include a menu selection for the National Grid Pipeline Integrity Project, as was done for the LIRR Third Track Project and most recently for the PSEGLI Western Transmission Project. Further, all public communications, project area maps and timelines will be published to the Village website upon receipt.

Will Sing For Food 2018 Vineyard Jam planned

A scene from last winter’s “Will Sing For Food” concert

After spending a cold January night inside the Garden City Community Church at the 7th Annual “Will Sing For Food” concert, Mark and Dina Misk — co-owners of Clovis Point Vineyard and Winery in Jamesport — were moved to extend an invitation to the band to bring their annual winter fundraiser east, outside among the vines for a summer kickoff: The “Will Sing for Food” 2018 Vineyard Jam. The show is set for Saturday, June 16th at 6pm, and promises to be a memorable event in a spectacular setting. Since the first WSFF concert in 2011, the group has raised nearly $100,000 for Long Island’s hungry. As with the January WSFF show, the band will lug their gear, lift their voices, and pour their hearts and souls into every note and every word. They’ll be playing rock and pop classics from the 60s and 70s through today — songs that always have the crowd singing along and dancing in the streets. As always, it’s for a great cause. Every dollar from every ticket sold as well as all donations will go directly to Long Island Cares, Inc. The Harry

Chapin Food Bank. The invitation is a natural extension for the Misks who have hosted multiple events for the benefit of Long Island Cares at Clovis Point, sharing the WSFF belief in giving back and providing for Long Islanders in need. So join together with the band in the heart of North Fork wine country on Saturday evening, June 16th. Doors open at 5:30pm. The music starts at 6pm and goes until the last sliver of sun slips behind the vines around 9. Awardwinning Clovis Point wines, as well as light snacks and food will be available throughout the show. Clovis Point is located at 1935 Main Road in Jamesport. Tickets are available now for $20 in advance ($25 at the door). For tickets or to reserve a table, call Clovis Point at 631-722-4222. To learn more, visit WillSingForFood. org and like WILL SING FOR FOOD on Facebook. And don’t miss the WILL SING FOR FOOD 2018 VINEYARD JAM on Saturday, June 16th. The mission never ends. So the music never stops.

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.

Back to Sports: Youth sports safety & physical activity Garden City Public Library Monday, June 11th @ 7:00pm Come to the Garden City Public Library on Monday, June 11th at 7pm for a program presented by NYU Winthrop’s Sports Medicine team. Topics covered include: concussion

awareness, heat and hydration, cardiac arrest and CPR, overuse injury prevention, and safe ways for athletes to return to sports after injury. If you are a parent, coach or an athlete, this event is for you! This program is open to all. No registration is necessary.

Garden City Public Library closed Sundays in summer The Garden City Public Library will be closed on Sunday for the summer beginning Father’s Day June 17th, 2018. The Library’s regular hours from

Monday through Saturday remain unchanged. The Library will resume regular Sunday hours beginning September 9th.

THE VIEW FROM HERE

The Blockchain Revolution BY BOB MORGAN, JR. Those of us of a certain age feel that we are always required to understand and adapt to new technology that members of the younger generation seem to grasp intuitively. An obvious recent example is the internet, but I am sure that a hundred years ago, learning about the operation and technology of motor vehicles was a considerable challenge to people who grew up with horse drawn transportation. Blockchain technology appears to be the current example of a new technology that we will all soon encounter and need to know something about. In general terms, blockchain technology involves the creation of a decentralized digital ledger used to record transactions in a way that allows the community of users, using encrypted technology, to control how the record is updated and amended. This is in contrast to the system in common use now where there is a central data base server under the control of a system administrator that gives permission to make any changes in the data. Blockchain technology first burst on the scene with the advent of Bitcoin, the controversial (and volatile) digital currency, which now has attracted a number of competitors. The entire Bitcoin network is on a shared public ledger. Every time there is a confirmed Bitcoin transaction it is put on this shared ledger and relied upon by the entire Bitcoin network. Owners of Bitcoin wallets are able to calculate their spendable balance and new transactions can be verified to involve bitcoins actually owned by the person spending it. To insure integrity and chronological order, cryptographic keys are supplied to individuals on the network. But blockchain has potential applications well beyond currency. For example, as an article in the Harvard Business Review explains, stock settlement – the ownership transfer of a stock -- would be an strong candidate for implementation of blockchain. Right now, settlement can take as long as a week. Parties to a transaction have no access to each other’s ledgers and are unable to verify that the assets in a transaction are in fact owned and can be trans-

ferred. Instead, it is necessary to use a series of intermediaries to facilitate the transaction. If a stock transaction took place on a blockchain-based system, it would be settled within seconds, securely and verifiably. The ledger would be replicated in a large number of identical databases, each hosted and maintained by an interested party. When changes are entered in one copy of the ledger, all the other copies are updated at the same time. Thus, as transactions occur, records of the value and assets exchanged are permanently entered in all ledgers. Third-party intermediaries to verify or transfer ownership are unnecessary. The Harvard Business Review article also explains that “smart contracts” may be the most transformative current blockchain application. These contracts automate payments and the transfer of currency as negotiated conditions are met. For example, a smart contract might send a payment to a supplier as soon as a shipment is delivered. A company could signal via blockchain that a particular good has been received— or the product could have GPS functionality, which would automatically log a location update that would trigger a payment. Another frequently discussed potential use of blockchain is in medical records. A second Harvard Business Review article describes how blockchain technology could solve issues caused by the placement of a patient’s medical records at different locations, and the lack of a single list of all the places the data can be found or the order in which it was entered. With blockchain technology, updates about medications, problems, and allergies would be sent to an open-source, community-wide trusted ledger, so additions and subtractions to the medical record were well understood and auditable across organizations. Obviously, all of this just scratches the surface of the use of blockchain technology. While few people in my generation are likely to master all of its details and applications, it is worth watching as a harbinger of the future.

The Waldorf School of Garden City will host its 59th commencement ceremony on June 15th, in celebration of the collective accomplishments of the class of 2018, who model the depth and scope of the School’s mission at this 70-year milestone. The ceremony will feature a Commencement Address delivered by Kenneth I. Chenault, a member of the Class of 1969 and former Chief Executive Officer of The American Express Company. Mr. Chenault will speak to graduates about how his Waldorf education guided his success in business and the importance of pursuing one’s passions. “The Waldorf School of Garden City is very excited to celebrate the past and future successes of our dynamic senior class during their commencement ceremony,” said Roland R. Rothenbucher, High School Chair at The Waldorf School of Garden City. “These exceptional students exemplify the purpose, gratitude and respect that the School has incorporated into its curriculum for over 70 years; their leadership and love for their School has impressed us all. It is with immense pride and joy that we send them out into the world, confident that their contributions will make a difference.” Mr. Chenault is currently chairman and managing director at General Catalyst, where he focuses on investing in fast-growing companies that have the potential to become large, fundamen-

tal institutions, while leveraging his renowned leadership skills and experience to continue to evolve General Catalyst into an enduring firm. Mr. Chenault spent the majority of his career at The American Express Company. He joined the company in 1981 as the director of strategic planning and worked his way to CEO in 2001—a post he held until 2018. He is widely recognized as one of the business world’s leading experts on brands and brand management, and has been honored by multiple publications including Fortune Magazine, which named him as one of the World’s 50 Greatest Leaders in its inaugural list in 2014. Mr. Chenault currently serves on the boards of Airbnb, Facebook, IBM, The Proctor & Gamble Company, the Harvard Corporation, and numerous nonprofit organizations. He holds a JD from Harvard Law School and a BA in history from Bowdoin College. “We are excited to have such an accomplished alumnus address the members of the graduating class and share how his Waldorf education laid the framework for his success in business,” said Mr. Rothenbucher. “Mr. Chenault’s insight as a successful business executive and as a Waldorf alumnus will certainly encourage the members of the Class of 2018 to continue pursuing their passions throughout their lifetimes.”

Natl. Marrow registry: You can save someone’s life on June 8th 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 5:30 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.

Author Temple Grandin shares thoughts with sixth grade

BY JP BAILEY, KATHRYN MCCOY, RILEY SHAW, CHRISTIE TRABOLD & MRS. PATRICIA ROBERTS The sixth grade students in Mrs. Madden/Mrs. Roberts’ English Language Arts (ELA) class have been busy researching, writing, and interviewing popular celebrities. Kidsday editor Pat Mullooly helped fine tune their interview skills and prepared them to meet their newest interviewee, Temple Grandin. Temple Grandin is an autistic woman who is a professor of animal science at Colorado State University. She is an author and speaker on both autism and animal behavior. Kathryn McCoy, Riley Shaw, JP Bailey, and Christie Trabold read Temple Grandin’s new book, Calling All Minds, and had the unique opportunity to learn more about this famous scientist, author, and autism spokesperson. At the Barnes & Noble book store in New York City, the students confessed that they felt their interview with Ms. Grandin was more like an intimate conversation. The sixth graders were greeted with a friendly hello and listened as Temple began to speak candidly about

her reasons for writing her new book, Calling All Minds. Her goal is to inspire children to do more hands-on projects and to not be afraid to make mistakes. Temple loved to read as a child and enjoyed books about famous inventors. As part of the students’ research, and to learn more about Temple, the students watched the movie Temple Grandin and asked her about the visual of walking through doors. Temple explained that kids today can use the picture of a door and view it as an opportunity. They should walk through it as soon as possible and work hard. The students highly recommend the book Calling All Minds. It is a book about all sorts of inventions, patents, and projects that children can make at home. One important quote from the book was that people are “different, not less.” Kathryn, Riley, JP, and Christie want to share that important message with everyone.

Elementary String Ensemble wins NYSSMA Gold - again!

The Elementary String Ensemble Congratulations to Garden City’s Elementary String Ensemble for capturing a Gold rating at this year’s New York State School Music Association (NYSSMA) Majors Festival held at Hofstra University. This marks the second consecutive year the group has garnered the top rating. The Elementary String Ensemble,

under the direction of music teacher Andrew Albani, consists of 25 fifth-grade string players from Stewart School and Stratford Avenue School. Starting last September, these students arrived early at school twice a week to work on music that was both challenging and demanding. Rehearsals involved meticulously combing through every measure and

paying attention to even the smallest of details to bring the music to life. In New York State, an organization known as NYSSMA (New York State School Music Association) categorizes music at different difficulty levels for both solo and ensemble (Majors) performances. NYSSMA Majors Festivals are held each year throughout the state, and schools ranging from elementary to high school perform before specially-trained music adjudicators. These adjudicators carefully listen to each performance group and then provide comments and an overall score. This year, the Elementary String Ensemble repertoire met the level one requirements to participate in the NYSSMA Majors Festival being held at Hofstra University on May 22nd. The pieces performed were Fancy Fiddles (Mark Williams), Skaters’ Waltz (Waldteufel/Meyer), and Fiddling A-Round (John Caponegro). After the group’s performance, the Elementary String Ensemble was awarded with a Gold rating and received inspirational comments from each judge. In addition to performing at

the NYSSMA Majors Festival, the Elementary String Ensemble performed their own special concert at Garden City H.S. during the Budget Vote on May 15th to an enthusiastic audience consisting of parents, relatives, and friends. Garnering the Gold rating were: Isabella Bucciarelli, Samuel Chan, Juliana Clyne, Emily Eschmann, Angela Hlavaty, Michelle Hu, Theodore Kuehn, Ethan Law, Jeffrey Li, Eva LoPiano, Annika Margolies, Connor McHugh, Iris Morgan, Simone Oustatcher, Valentina Pape, Ella Pocock, Emma Reis, Elizabeth Ryan, Julia Seoylemezian, Ava Sethi, Daniel Shohdy, Maria-Isabella Ucinski, Eva Vitale, Amy Xiao, and Alicia Zhang. “The hard work and dedication displayed by the students in Elementary String Ensemble is remarkable,” shared elementary strings teacher Andrew Albani. “These fine young musicians worked tirelessly this year and explored every detail in the music to put on an inspiring performance. I am so proud of each and every one of them and am glad their talent was acknowledged by the adjudicators with a gold rating.”

2 GCHS Juniors inducted into Natl. Technical Honor Society Nassau BOCES’ Joseph M. Barry Career & Technical Center, known as BarryTec, has a two tier admission process. Both the students’ own high school and BarryTec must approve the enrollment application to qualify for this incredible facility that covers a myriad of interests and vocations including computer programming/game design, political science/criminal justice and veterinary science. Only two Garden City High School juniors were accepted to BarryTec this academic year. Michael Fontanetta studies in the Construction Electricity class and aspiring pilot Trent Biscone is in the Aviation Operations program. On May 22nd, both Biscone and Fontanetta were inducted into the National Technical Honor Society. The selection process results in the induction of less than eight percent of the student body

and is based on a rigorous process that includes academic excellence, good citizenship, high level of achievement, outstanding skills, and excellent attendance. The students must write a compelling personal statement and have a recommendation from their high school guidance counselor as well as the nomination of their instructor. Both Michael Fontanetta and Trent Biscone cleared each hurdle with their hard work and determination fueled by a passion for their respective fields of interest and vocational pursuits. The National Technical Honor Society achievement is a credit not only to these hard working and exemplary students but also to their Garden City High School teachers and administrators that prepared and enabled them to thrive in their programs and succeed.

Join Salvatore di Vittorio and the Chamber Orchestra of New York as they welcome Italian pianist Roberto Cominati in a performance of Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 27 in this exquisite concert. The Chamber Orchestra of New York will perform on Friday, June 8th at 7:30 pm on the Westermann Stage, Concert Hall in the Adelphi University Performing Arts Center, 1 South Ave, Garden City. The Chamber Orchestra of New York was founded in 2006 as the first auditioned young professionals orchestra in the history of New York City. The orchestra holds a regular concert series at Carnegie Hall - the venue of its October 2007 debut - and returns regularly to The Morgan Library & Museum and Adelphi University Performing Arts Center - the home of its Naxos recordings, airing worldwide to much acclaim. Its founding music director Salvatore Di Vittorio has worked with many leading orchestras as both composer and conductor, especially in his native Italy,

and has been recognized as “following in the footsteps of Ottorino Respighi” after a commission from the Bolognese composer’s family. Maestro Di Vittorio’s compositions and Respighi editions are distributed by Italy’s principal publisher, Casa Ricordi in Milan. In addition to Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 27, the concert will celebrate the launching of the Piano Concerto Award of The Respighi Prize music competition featuring Adelphi’s Fazioli Pianoforte (Venice). The program also features Schubert’s Symphony No. 5. The Adelphi PAC is one of Long Island’s premier cultural arts venues for entertainment of all kinds. Tickets are currently on sale for $35 with discounts available to seniors, students and alumni. Information and tickets are available online at pac.adelphi.edu.

Before there was a Long Island Lighting Company (LILCO), individual communities had to supply their own electricity. In Garden City this was done by a power plant next to the waterworks and gasworks where 11th Street meets Cherry Valley Avenue. The above manhole cover is a rare one in this village. It is located behind the Cathedral of the Incarnation on Cathedral property. What’s intriguing about it are the numerals on the bottom. At a glance it looks like 1812 but of course that can’t be the year. However, 1912 would make sense. It is the second numeral that is confusing. It almost looks like an inverted “9”. However, maybe it’s not a year but rather a code of some sort. Time has worn away a clear explanation.

$100K grant to Adelphi breast cancer support program Kat’s Ribbon of Hope presented a grant of $100,000 to the Adelphi Breast Cancer Program for their bilingual patient navigation program for underserved breast cancer patients. The grant will be used to support patients at Nassau University Medical Center (NUMC) and local hospitals through their diagnosis and treatment. The Adelphi Breast Cancer Program’s social workers address disparities in mortality by providing psychosocial support, counseling, patient navigation and concrete services to underserved patients. Additionally, the program facilitates a Spanish language support group, Cafecito, in the community for breast cancer patients. “Our partnership with the Adelphi program supports our goal to provide financial assistance to women who would otherwise not be able to afford early detection and treatment services for breast cancer,” says Katerina Dinas Raptis, a breast cancer survivor who is the cofounder of KROH. Kat, who

was diagnosed when she was 32, says that while having breast cancer was “a nightmare,” she was blessed in many ways with the support of her family and excellent medical care. She realized that there were many women who did not have such support and was determined to do what she could to help. She and her husband George Raptis and sister Despina Yarian established Kat’s Ribbon of Hope in 2013. “The staff of Adelphi is a big part of what we do,” says Despina. “Through their work they define what Kats Ribbon of Hope is all about.” Last year, KROH gave the Adelphi program a grant which allowed them to hire an additional patient navigator. The Adelphi NY Statewide Breast Cancer Hotline & Support Program, established in 1980, offers free emotional support, education and advocacy for breast cancer patients and the community. The hotline can be reached at 800-877-8077.

On Friday, June 15th and Saturday, June 16th, the Men’s Association of the Garden City High Schools will once again host the Father/Daughter and Mother/Son Dances for graduating senior students, but the venue has changed: both events will now be at the Gramercy Ballroom located adjacent to the Best Western Hotel, 173 Sunrise Highway, Rockville Centre, NY. According to the website, The Gramercy Ballroom is an elegant space capable of hosting large events or intimate parties. Why the change of venues? As in past years, TMA booked the event with the current Nassau Bar Association caterer at the end of December. Or so we thought. TMA learned two weeks ago that the caterer mistakenly double-booked the dates. If not for the previous article announcing the Father/Daughter and Mother/ Son events, the conflict would not have been realized until the weekend of the actual events. (A reader of the Garden City News brought the conflict to the attention of the Nassau County Bar Association and caterer.) TMA President Jimmy Connolly performed yeoman’s work in locating another venue. President Connolly worked the phones for days locating an alternate venue. As it turns out, the Gramercy Ballroom’s caterer – Garden

City Caterers – is the former caterer for the Nassau County Bar Association, and was eager to help out the TMA despite the last minute crisis. E-mail announcements of the venue change have been sent to all Garden City High School senior parents who have purchased tickets to the event, and we look forward to seeing everyone at the new venue. The TMA will continue to send a couple of reminders about the venue change, and we once again urge parents to check their e-mails for details. More than 75 years ago, the TMA began this annual springtime, pre-graduation tradition, and it is still one of the most popularly attended events on parents’ and students’ schedules. While the event used to be held in May, the TMA realized the logistical challenges of scheduling the events when so many students were still involved in extra-curricular activities. Thus, the Father/Daughter and Mother/Son Dances were moved to the weekend prior to graduation to kick-off graduation week activities. Once again, Garden City graduate and professional photographer Mary Winn-Ball – herself a Father/Daughter Dance participant – will be on-hand to take a formal picture of each couple. All couples will be able to pick up their picture in a beautiful frame at the end of

the evening. The Men’s Association wishes to extend its sincere gratitude to both the Gramercy Ballroom and Garden City Caterers for working with the TMA on such late notice. Without their help, this 75+ year tradition might have been canceled due to lack of available venue space.

Please remember the details: The Father/Daughter Dance will begin on Friday, June 15th at 6:30pm. The Mother/Son Dance will also start at 6:30pm, Saturday night, June 16th. Location: The Gramercy Ballroom, 173 Sunrise Highway, Rockville Centre, NY.

53 Email: Editor@GCNews.com From page 2 tions to the LaGuardia Air Train along with other LIRR, New Jersey Transit, Amtrak and Metro North trains for platform and track space in and out of Penn Station via the East River Tunnels in coming years. Governor Cuomo’s adopted April 1, 2018 through March 31, 2019 $168.2 billion budget contains no line item to provide the MTA LIRR with additional funding for this project. These non-existent dollars would have to be amended into the current MTA $32 billion 20142019 Five Year Capital Plan for supporting design and engineering, let alone construction of any future Belmont Park LIRR Intermodal Transportation Center. Who knows if these funds will appear within the proposed next MTA 20202024 Five Year Capital Plan. MTA HQ, Planning, Operating and Finance along with LIRR staff, are already working behind the scene to develop this document. There is pressure to find $4.3 billion balance needed to fully fund the $6 billion Second Avenue Subway Phase 2, $1 billion more to complete LIRR East Side Access to Grand Central Terminal along with New York City Transit Presidents Andy Byfords proposed $38 billion accelerated NYC Subway Signal

upgrade program which is looking for $19 billion under the next Five Year Capital Program. Historically, these plans are adopted one year late. That means any new funding for the future Belmont Park LIRR Intermodal Transportation Center might not be available until 2021. Many of the proposed 2020-2024 Five Year Capital Program projects and programs will come from the MTA 20142034 Twenty Year Long Term Capital Needs Assessment report. Both the current MTA Five Year Capital Plan and Twenty Year Capital Needs reports are available on the MTA web site. Perhaps the proposed new 2020 - 2024 Five Year Capital Program will be publicly released in late 2019. It will make great reading. It will be several more years before the LIRR completes upgrading interlockings and signals adjacent to Jamaica Station. East Side Access to Grand Central Terminal may not be completed until 2023. Installation of several new interlockings east of Belmont Park could cost tens of millions. These are necessary if the LIRR wishes to provide direct west bound service on the Hempstead, Ronkonkoma, Oyster Bay, Huntington, Port Jefferson and Speonk (via Babylon to Hicksville connection) branches rather than have riders switch at Jamaica and double back to Belmont.

Winthrop Hospital sponsors Men’s Health Seminar Men and their loved ones are invited to join Aaron E. Katz, MD, Chairman of NYU Winthrop Hospital’s Department of Urology, and a panel of experts to learn how to improve their health and lifestyle on Saturday, June 16th, from 8:00 am to 3:30 pm.

The seminar will include an address by a keynote speaker, plus lectures and workshops for men and women addressing a variety of health and wellness topics. Keynote speaker Michael Rosen, MD, Cleveland Clinic’s Chief Wellness Officer and NY Times best-selling co-author with Dr. Oz, will discuss “Why Wellness Makes Sense for You: 10 Choices to Keep Your Brain Young.” Additional lectures will be offered by NYU Winthrop Hospital physicians during the morning. Parallel tracks of workshops will be offered in the afternoon, with an opportunity for attendees to choose which sessions they would like to attend. Topics such as stress manage-

ment, digestive and colon health, erectile dysfunction and low testosterone, sleep, and cardiovascular disease will be addressed. All lectures and workshops will include time for questions and answers. The course director is Aaron E. Katz, MD, a board-certified urologic oncologist, who specializes in cryosurgery and the use of complementary medicine for the treatment of urologic conditions. Dr. Katz currently serves as Chairman, Department of Urology at NYU Winthrop Hospital, and is the host of Katz’s Corner, a radio program on WABC Radio featuring topics on Men’s Health. Dr. Katz will be joined by a panel of experts to offer an informative, interactive seminar for the community. The fee for the event is $40 per attendee and includes a continental breakfast and three-course lunch. To register or for a complete list of speakers and the agenda for the day, please visit www. menshealthseminar.com For questions concerning the event, please call Kate Owens, Meeting Coordinator, at (516) 663-2316 or email kathleen.owens@nyulangone.org.

This new direct service would conflict with east bound trains especially those operating during evening rush hours from Jamaica, resulting in significant delays. Completion of the Ronkonkoma branch double tracking by 2019 will increase off peak service to every thirty minutes. Completion of Main Line Third track by 2022 will increase rush hour service on the Ronkonkoma branch. In addition, there will be an expansion in rush hour reverse commute services on the Hempstead, Ronkonkoma, Oyster Bay, Huntington and Port Jefferson branches. Finally, LIRR access to Grand Central Terminal will also result in increased peak and off peak services. Slower speeds are required when transversing interlockings. Just stand on the Manhattan bound Queens Village LIRR Station platform and observe how long it takes for a Hempstead Branch west bound train from the Bellrose LIRR Station to travel thru two interlockings before reaching the Queens Village LIRR Station. Eastbound trains can sit for several minutes until the westbound train clears all the interlockings. Imagine the congo line of trains traveling east in the evening rush hour with thousands of passengers waiting for a west bound Belmont Arena train to pass. Any delay of several minutes creates a domino effect resulting in numer-

ous east bound trains running late. New equipment to expand the current fleet also needs to be delivered. Amtrak may delay the start of work by six years from 2019 to 2025 for work on the East River Tunnels. Remember only one of four East River Tunnels can be worked on at a time. This will result in a direct reduction in rush hour service. It will take one to two years to finish work on each tunnel. As a result, this project may not be completed until 2032. Initiation of LIRR East Side Access to Penn Station will result in the end of direct service to Atlantic Terminal Brooklyn. This will be replaced by a scoot service to Jamaica. This means change at Jamaica for riders to and from Brooklyn. Not very appealing to Islander fans traveling to and from Belmont looking for a one seat ride. Based upon all of the above, it may be many years for LIRR to provide new service to Belmont Park, especially during evening rush hours after the Belmont Islanders Arena opens.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Friday, June 8, 2018 The Garden City News

CPOA seeks new members, plans event From page 1 for this year. “We completed our mass mailing in the Central section after the holiday season. As we approach June, we encourage Central residents to become current with dues, encourage their neighbors and bring friends to join us,” she said last week. The immediate past CPOA president, Bob Nouryan, moderated the May 8 meeting in the absence of the POA President Michael Tiedemann. Nouryan said membership is the backbone of the nonprofit property owners’ association. He advised that there needs to be a renewed focus and integration of ideas to encourage residents to join the CPOA and attend the year-end party on June 12. If they want to, residents can renew membership or join the CPOA and pay at the event. “Our membership has to get back on track. We may have some residents who have mailed in checks for membership, but they’ve never attended a CPOA meeting,” he noted. CPOA Treasurer Mary Beth Tully told attendees on May 8 that the nonprofit organization now has reserves of $14,371. She says there was a very modest amount of annual 2018 membership dues collected throughout April. Trustee Louis Minuto, a native of Garden City and a lifetime CPOA member, suggested that as the organization is a recognized 501c3 nonprofit, there could be potential to set up “donations or gifted memberships” and residents who donate would be able to make their contribution a tax deductible item. CPOA Director and Environmental Advisory Board Evelyn Fasano said since many residents spoke about their concerns over the old, open permits and some were sent letters from the Building Department erroneously, plus the approaching October 2018 deadline to close those permits with the village, Garden City Superintendent of Building Ausberto Huertas could be invited to speak at the June 12 meeting. Trustee Minuto said “Ozzie is coming from well intentions” with the efforts to bring open permits up to date and closed out in the Building Department, and he

will contact Huertas to see if can attend. Regardless of incentives or new ideas for membership, the CPOA has often hosted several community-oriented conversations about planning, taxes, traffic, and quality of life issues impacting many if not all Garden City residents. At their May 8 meeting Nouryan read an update from POA President Tiedemann, which included a 2018-2019 goal of increasing resident participation as well as “broader involvement in the CPOA’s monthly meetings.” The June 12 evening party/event will also feature the CPOA’s monthly meeting and discussions, the last one held before a usual 90-day summer break. Director Pat DiMattia said the CPOA plans to advertise in The Garden City News and invite residents to attend. “In the context of this we can state that CPOA members and new members are encouraged to pay their 2018 dues at this meeting, as the current term of the CPOA year (parallel to the school year, September through June) concludes. The year-end party helps us trying to get more people to meetings and participating in the CPOA process. We encourage people to become members and pay dues at the June 12 event and as we’ve usually done, in December we will again do the traditional mailing and membership for 2019,” she explained.

Remembering Menges, High School Ambassadors Welcomed

CPOA director Pat Cunningham recalled one suggestion for the high school ambassadors to assist with a membership drive. She says the students under her wings had pursued other projects to contribute towards the CPOA this school year. Cunningham suggests that starting with the fall semester, the CPOA assign the membership initiatives to one of its student ambassadors. Trent Biscone and his junior classmate, Gabby Bevil, are set to continue for their second year this fall as high school ambassadors to the CPOA. Other high school students who are interested in serving as the CPOA junior ambassadors in 2018-2019 can fill out an application, available online at gccpoa.org/ambassador-appli-

School, village trustees disagree over development From page 1 of the village’s taxes. The village had also filed an application with the Nassau County Planning Commission in regards to the Stewart Avenue project. “We still have not heard back from them regarding the application,” said

Delaney. One resident who spoke at the meeting, was opposed to the project, because of its adverse location in the village. “As far as empty nesters moving into this apartment, my feeling is that this location stinks,” said the resident. “There is virtually nothing around there.”

cation-form/ and submit their form via email to info@gccpoa.org. CPOA Director Stephen John Gaffney has volunteered to be the coordinator for the Tuesday June 12 annual yearend celebration. He promised to build off of great momentum from the 2017 event held on the rooftop of the Garden City Fire Station No.1 headquarters adjacent to Village Hall. A year ago at the June 2017 CPOA Year-End Party, the group’s youngest director Bobby Menges played guitar and his band was the headline act of the evening. Last September, Menges tragically passed away at age 19 from cancer and the CPOA has honored his legacy with several approved resolutions since then, including one last week. During the May 8 update on the CPOA’s High School Ambassadors program, in which three GCHS students participated for 2017-2018, the POA directors unanimously voted in favor of one more distinction honoring Menges. CPOA Director and program coordinator Patricia Cunningham credits current high school junior Trent Biscone with the suggestion of renaming the CPOA high school scholarships awarded at the end of each school year for Bobby Menges. The change carries a village-wide recognition for a deserving student. “Trent suggested the idea a few months ago. Time went by and now that we’re going to hold the awards ceremony on May 31 at Garden City High School, it is time for us to re-name the CPOA’s High School Scholarship Award the Bobby Menges Memorial Scholarship Award. After discussing it with CPOA trustees, we thought of putting it up for a vote tonight. That’s the new name for our high school scholarship award,” Cunningham said. Each director soon raised their hand to vote in favor of the change. Trustee Louis Minuto, former CPOA President Nouryan and the CPOA directors thanked Biscone for suggesting the Menges Scholarship.

Trent Biscone and his junior classmate, Gabby Bevil, are set to continue for their second year this fall as high school ambassadors to the CPOA. Other high school students who are interested in serving as the CPOA junior ambassadors in 2018-2019 can fill out an application, available online at gccpoa.org/ambassador-applicationform/ and submit their form via email to info@gccpoa.org. The graduating senior CPOA High School Ambassador, Layne Meyer, has credited Menges as an inspiration, and he also provided the POA with strong approval of the scholarship renaming. For the upcoming CPOA year-end party, Meyer said in the next two weeks he will contact fellow Garden City High School students including Menges’ bandmates and see if a group can join the festivities and play their music on June 12. During his update to the CPOA on May 8, Meyer said there was a halt with another form of tribute to Menges, a move that would expand upon a contribution Menges made to the Garden City Public Library Board of Trustees during his time as the CPOA student ambassador four years ago. When the GCPL Board met on March 12, at Meyer’s request they voted to approve the creation of an official high school, non-voting Library Board position for a GCPL student ambassador (contingent on approval of Village Attorney Peter Bee). But Meyer said last week the process stopped short in April and the hire of a new library director would be key to developing that GCPL Board role.. “I had been working with (former) Library Director Lisa Paulo to implement this, and beyond reaching out to counsel (Peter Bee) she was helping in that effort. But when she resigned it pretty much put a stop to that program. I believe there is room for another student to pick it back up in the fall,” Meyer said.

Class of 2018 wins High School “Battle of the Classes”

Members of the Class of 2018 celebrate their victory.

The students in the Class of 2018 bested three formidable teams to become the first consecutive two-time winner at the Battle of the Classes, the annual high school competition that raises awareness of, and funds for, The Jamie & Paige Malone Foundation. More than 300 students, teachers, and parents attended the Friday evening event, which raised $14,000 for the charity that helps local families in need. The teacher advisors to each class, Mrs. Moss, Mr. Highfill, Ms. Squires, Ms. Tanzosh, and Mr. McDonald, organized an amazing and profitable week of bakes sales leading up to the Battle to earn points for their grade level. During the event, students and teachers teamed up to earn points during a line-up of competitive games that brought the students back to their playground roots. Sophomore Audra FitzGerald remarked, “The games were very inclusive; you didn’t have to be an all-star to participate and have fun.” Julia Cowie, another sophomore, characterized the evening as “lighthearted and competitive. The dance-off was especially great.” The seniors and sophomores were tied for the lead going into the last event, but when the tug of war rope inexplicably broke, the evening’s host Mr. Brian McDonald called for a sudden death basketball layup relay that the seniors won. “The Battle of the Classes is one of the highlights of the school year,” said High School Principal Nanine McLaughlin. “The students’ excitement and commitment to raising funds for such a wonderful organization is contagious.”

“Justin has participated in a lot of sports programs and I have to say you truly do an amazing job and offer such a wonderful program. My husband and I were so excited when Medusa Little Laxers began a program on the North Shore. My four year old son LOVES going to practice. He wakes up every day asking if he has lacrosse and what the theme is going to be. He constantly asks us to take him outside to practice what he has learned. The coaches have such a contagious energy that make learning fun! At the first practice I was immediately impressed by the coaches ability to keep the kids moving and engaged. Thank you Medusa!” Jessica – Manhasset Resident “I didn’t think a 4 year old could pick up lacrosse without being frustrated. I was so wrong. Medusa Little Laxers is such an awesome program. My son has gotten better every practice, learning new skills and gaining confidence. It’s he’s favorite after school program and looks forward to it all week. Thank you so much to Jackie and her team for an amazing & fun experience.” -Lauren, Manhasset Resident

The Little Laxers program has introduced thousands of children ages 3-7 to the sport of lacrosse and helped nurture a love and passion for the game. Medusa is run by the Fiore sisters who were both 4 year starters on the G.C. High School Varsity Lacrosse Team and went on to play collegiate Division 1 level lacrosse at Princeton and Boston College. The program is known for its energy, positivity, creativity and ability to break down all the core concepts and fundamentals into fun drills and games that are challenging, competitive and appeal to those children who are hesitant to try a new sport.

Garden City Historical Society’s 13th Annual Flea Market

Local artists showed their work.

Facepainting was enjoyed by everyone. Neither the threat of rain nor the risk of thunderstorms could dampen the spirits of folks looking for a good bargain – and a good time – at the Annual Flea Market held on the grounds of The Garden City Historical Society Museum at 109 Eleventh Street. With close to 20 vendors, from antiques, furniture, jewelry, silk flower wreaths, to vintage toys, home-baked goodies , outrageous fudge sauce and hand-painted items by local artists there was something for everyone. The A.T. Stewart Exchange Consignment Shop was also open, with its own consigned items, backyard bargains,

and “Christmas in June” sections. Cornelia’s Café was open for business once again, offering up many delicious confections, as well as Board Member Albert Intreglia’s famous sausage and peppers. New to the event this year was “Orpheus Strings,” a quartet of 10-year old boys from the Stewart School who entertained the browsers. The quartet consisted of Samuel Chan, Theodore Kuehn, Daniel Shohdy, and Ethan Law on violin, viola and cello. This wonderful addition was quite a crowd pleaser. Also new this year was Amber Joy (daughter of Theresa D’Esposito,

“Orpheus Strings” provided music. Exchange volunteer), who provided fun facepainting. No one was too young or too old to enjoy it! Thanks to all who attended and all who worked so hard to make it a success! The Exchange Consignment Shop supports The Garden City Historical Society and its Museum. Consignors

receive 50% of selling price of consigned items. The Exchange is located at 109 Eleventh Street and is open TuesdayFriday from 10:00am – 4:00pm and Saturdays from 12:00-4:00pm. We can be contacted via phone at 746-8900, email store@atstewartexxchange.org or drop by and browse the wonderful treasures in the shop!

Seneca Falls Hails its Role in Birthing Women’s Rights BY KAREN RUBIN TRAVEL FEATURES SYNDICATE GOINGPLACESFARANDNEAR.COM

We finish our 62-mile ride on this third day of our 8-day, 400-mile Parks & Trails NY Cycle the Erie biketour in Seneca Falls, renowned as the birthplace of Women’s Rights, where the organizers have arranged for the major sites, including the Women’s Rights National Historical Park, to stay open for us, and for a shuttle bus to take us from our campsite on the grounds of the Mynderse Academy into the downtown. My impression of the Women’s Rights National Historical Park, operated by the National Park Service, has not changed from my first visit two years before: It is an absolute dud, especially when you consider the innovations in museums – especially compared to Fort Stanwix National Historic Site in Rome and the Erie Canal Museum in Syracuse (both of which we will see in coming days). What is more, the NPS rangers who run the site know how antiquated and uninspiring – even disrespectful to women and the struggle for equality - the exhibit is and revealed a frustration in their inability to improve it. There are no new insights or inspiration to be gained. The exhibit doesn’t have a clear theme, point or focus: is it about how and why the Women’s Rights movement started here in Seneca Falls (the influence

The Seneca-Cayuga Canal brought factories, like the Seneca Knitting Mill, which employed women who questioned why they couldn’t keep their own money, igniting the women’s rights movement in Seneca Falls. It will soon house the Center for Great Women © Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com of the Oneida Indians, which allowed women to become chiefs, have property and retain custody of their children, on Melinda Gage, for example; the prevalence of Quaker women among the early women’s rights leaders who had roles in their church; and the number of factories, spurred by the Erie Canal, which in turn employed women who subsequently wanted

equal pay and to control their earnings)? Is it about the leaders of the movement, the courage they needed and how they persevered? What about exploring why it took 80 more years for women to get the vote, even after former slave men got their (theoretical) right to vote after the Civil War? Nor does it confront the controversies behind the continuing fight for

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

women’s rights: why women still don’t earn as much as men for the same work, what is the “glass ceiling”. What role does the lack of affordable, accessible child care and healthcare play, and the mother-of-all controversies: why are women’s reproductive rights still so tenuous? And, oh yes, why See page D2

G O I N G P L A C E S, N E A R & F A R ....

Seneca Falls Hails its Role in Birthing Women’s Rights

Continued from page D1 are women still so underrepresented in elected office, including the highest office in the land, the Presidency? What is glaringly obvious is that the exhibit reflects the 1980s Reagan perspective – more Phyllis Schafly than Gloria Steinem – a half-assed, slap-inthe-face, disrespectful, condescending lip service to women’s rights and the ongoing struggle. If there is a theme, it is that women should be grateful for the opportunity to work in occupations beyond teaching, secretarial and nursing – but nothing about pay equity or glass ceilings or sexual harassment. To Reagan (and now Trump), women’s rights are simply a way of supplying more workers and keeping wages low. No discussion of how laws and the lack of anti-discrimination laws helped keep women down: How a woman could be raped, beaten, killed by her husband – was not much more than property (as were children) – and how a woman’s property became her husband’s. How women could be fired from jobs once married or pregnant or had children or reached a certain age or weight, or not hired at all merely because of gender. How insurance companies could charge women more (preexisting condition for being able to give birth). How landlords could refuse to rent to a woman without a husband’s signature; banks would not loan money for a home or business; how women couldn’t get a license to practice law. Sexual harassment”? The phrase was only invented in the 1970s, as the modern Woman’s Movement came into flower. What did not having a vote mean for women in society? What happened when

women were widowed or divorced? Why were there certain professions that women were steered into – like teaching, secretarial work, factories and nursing, positions which as a result tended to be woefully underpaid? What was the role of the Church in suppressing women’s rights ( a question that is relevant today)? That is, except for the Quakers who were the earliest advocates of women’s rights. What was the influence of the Oneida Indians, which gave women property rights, custody of children and the ability to become a tribal chief, on the early feminists including Melinda Gage (the mother-in-law of Frank Blum who wrote Wizard of Oz). Where is the discussion of the women who opposed suffrage, equal rights (ie. Equal Rights Amendment, Phyllis Shafly), even the fact that Eleanor Roosevelt initially was not a supporter of women’s suffrage (until happened), and the women today who oppose a woman’s right to choose (then and still today)? Instead of “women’s rights” (and this is pretty typical of women’s issues generally), the exhibit goes off track into the bigger topic of civil rights (abolition, the Underground Railroad). This should be seen in the context of how women were the backbone of the movement to end slavery, but after the Civil War, fully expected to win the vote along with freedmen, but instead only black men got the right to vote (such as it was, before Jim Crow). Also, it gives a nod to Jacksonian Democracy but doesn’t answer the question how white men without property got to vote without the need for a Constitutional

amendment, but women didn’t get the vote until the 19th Amendment was finally ratified in 1920. The exhibit is largely devoid of the heroic women (except for the sculpture) who fought for suffrage, and what the fight was like (locked up, force-fed). There’s copy of Lily Ledbetter act signed by Obama in a case in the lobby, but no explanation or context. There is a film in a lovely auditorium, “Dreams of Equality,” (delightfully cool and relaxing after biking 62 miles in the hot sun) which dramatizes the early internal debate over breaking out of the constrained role women were relegated to, is woefully and pathetically outdated – the historic elements aren’t bad but the pseudo “conversations” between girls and boys is frankly stupid and archaic. But in the film, one of the main characters loses her husband in the Civil War and one woman says to the other, “If a woman had a say in making laws, there would be no wars,” to which the other woman replies, “If we had a say, who would listen?” And in another bit of dialogue, the woman wonders, “Don’t women also have rights?” to which her brother responds, “What men most prize in a woman is affection.” You also visit the Wesleyan Chapel where the first Women’s Rights convention was held in 1848 and the “Declaration of Sentiments,” modeled after the Declaration of Independence was signed. The structure’s history can be a metaphor for the ambivalence of American society to women’s rights: From 1843-1871 it was chapel, then an opera house/performing arts hall; then

a roller skating rink, a movie theater (in 1910s), then a Ford dealership, and ironically enough, was a laundromat before facing a wrecking ball. Women fought to save the building, and in 1982, during the Reagan Administration, it was turned into a national park. (Womens’ Rights National Historical Park, 136 Fall Street, Seneca Falls, NY 13148, 315-568-0024, www.nps.gov/wori.) To put faces to the women’s movement, I walk down Seneca Falls’ main street to the National Women’s Hall of Fame. It is still in a ground floor storefront in a former bank building, awaiting its move into the factory building that was the Seneca Knitting Mill across the canal. This is most appropriate because the mill was where a number of the early feminists came from (they had a taste of earning their own money and were fired when they asked for wages equal to men). This massive factory, which dates from 1844, was owned by two men, Charles Hoskins and Jacob Chamberlain, who were among the 32 who supported women’s right and signed the Declaration of Sentiments which came out of the Women’s Rights Convention. That is saying something because out of the 300 people (40 of them men) who attended the convention in the Wesleyan Chapel in 1848, only 32 people signed the Declaration (most of the women did not sign on for voting rights). The Seneca Knitting Mills, which operated until 1999 (can you believe it!), manufactured heavy woolen socks for 150 years, and then went the way of 50,000 other factories in the US. The plan is to turn the 170-year-

old limestone building into the hall of fame, research center and museum celebrating women and their accomplishments, to be called the Center for Great Women. When I was in school, I could count on one hand the number of women who were presented as heroic figures - Madame Curie, Molly Pitcher (who I learn may have been fictional but still representative of women who took up the guns when their husbands were killed in the Revolutionary War), and the reporter, Nellie Bly. I am thrilled to find Nellie Bly among the honorees. Her real name was Elizabeth Cochrane Seaman (18641922, honored in 1998), and was a trailblazing journalist considered to be the “best reporter in America” who pioneered investigative journalism (hence the pseudonym); Paulina Kellogg Wright Davis, (1813-1876, honored 2002), who headed the committee that organized the first National Women’s Rights Convention in Worcester, MA in 1850, helped found the New England Women’s Suffrage Association and established Una, one of the first women’s rights newspapers; Amelia Bloomer (1818-1894), the first woman to own, operate and edit a newspaper for women, The Lily (first published in 1849 in Seneca Falls) and whose penchant

for wearing full-cut pantaloons under a short skirt (as a protest to the way women were expected to dress), gave birth to the term “bloomers”. It turns out there were dozens and dozens of women, going back to Colonial times, who did really important things. The women who are honored here are not necessarily honored as feminists, but for their accomplishments. “Women’s stories are not told,” the organization notes. “Less than 10% of the content of history books references women. Students cannot name 20 famous American women through history, excluding sports figures, celebrities and First Ladies. Only 20% of news article are about women. A society that values women values all of its members. By telling the stories of great American women through exhibits and educational resources, the Hall will make a future where all members of society are valued a reality.” (Indeed, the New York Times, during this year’s Women’s History Month, began publishing obituaries of women who were overlooked in their own time.) Founded in 1969, the Women’s Hall of Fame actually predates the Women’s Rights National Historic Park (one could say it even was at the very cusp of the Women’s Movement

The bank building on Fall Street where the Women’s Hall of Fame is currently located in Seneca Falls could easily be the Bailey Brothers Building and Loan from Frank Capra’s film classic, ”A Wonderful Life.” There are many connections between Seneca Falls and the mythical Bedford Falls © Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com which really emerged in the 1970s). And when you contemplate the timeline of the biographies, you get a better understanding of the historical context of the Women’s Rights Movement. Looking around: Abigail Adams, what a pistol she must have been! She had such a strong influence on her husband but clearly was frustrated in

the lack of opportunities women had to utilize their potential. (“Remember the ladies” in forming the new government,” she admonishes her husband, John Adams, in 1776). Secagewea, Annie Oakley, Harriet Tubman. Jane Addams, Clara Barton, See page D5

BY LOU THEODORE Memories! Flash back to the World War II years (1941 – 45) that spanned my 7-11 age years. The location was just north of Hell’s Kitchen, presently home to Lincoln Center. One of the key memories during that period of time that has yet to leave me was dining out on Sundays approximately once a month. It was the Greek restaurant, The Acropolis, located on 60th Street, just west of Central Park. I wish it were still around. I can still taste the roast lamb and pastitsio, your author’s two favorite Greek dishes. Enough on the old days. On to this, the 3rd Edition of Great Eats. First, there was Great Eats I. Then there was Great Eats II: Italian Restaurants (April 2017). Well, what would follow? Naturally, Great Eats III: Greek Restaurants. Most of you know that I was not only born and raised (early years) by Greek immigrant parents in Hell’s Kitchen but also spent my formative years prior to marriage in Astoria, a colony of Greece located in Queens (I have such fond memories of Astoria; I was extremely fortunate to spend 15 years living there). So, if one wants to discuss Greek food, a review of Greek restaurants in Astoria would

On Great Eats III: Greek Edition be absolutely appropriate. Therefore, there will be two parts to this restaurant review for this GREAT EATS article: restaurants in Astoria and North Hempstead/Nassau County.

Astoria

Some have referred to Astoria as a suburb of Athens and for good reason: the restaurants. My favorite is the Neptune Diner, unquestionably the best diner in New York City. But there are many other good restaurants. Here is a sampling of those to consider when in Astoria, Queens. • Elias’ Corner: A favorite seafood place. Upscale, great seafood, easy parking, and reasonable service. A bit pricey. I wasn’t impressed, but others love the joint. • MP Taverna: Very high reviews in the press. Upscale. Excellent food. Fair service. Near impossible to park. My people loved the place, but I’m passing. • Neptune Diner: It was my favorite 65 years ago and it’s still my favorite. Expansive menu. Great food. Big portions. Very reasonable prices. Comfortable. No problem parking. The avgolemeno soup and chicken lemonado is the absolute best, anywhere. • Stamatis: One of my favorites.

Reasonable prices. Excellent food. Loud. Lousy service. Valet parking. I love everything on the menu. You can’t go wrong here. • Taverna Kyclades: The seafood is great and is very reasonably priced. Comfortable but tables are jammed together. The problem with the place is that there are ALWAYS long waits and it is near impossible to park. • Telly’s: Similar to Stamatis. A bit more expensive. Not for me. You also need to visit one of a host of pastry shops. Baklava is the favorite pastry. But my friends and family prefer the galakobouriko – try it, you won’t be disappointed.

North Hempstead / Nassau County

Bad news! I’ve yet to eat at a Greek restaurant in our area that compares to those in Astoria. My spies tell me that Limani and Kyma (both in Roslyn) are excellent. Both are for those who enjoy getting ripped off since they are hellaciously expensive. I suggest passing but some have recommended lunch. I found Limani a beautiful restaurant –with lousy service, reasonable, but only with their early-bird specials ($40). In any event, here are my comments on six Greek (not Mediterranean) restaurants (in alphabetical order) in our local area.

• Greek Corner, Carle Place: Very reasonably priced. Some special deals. Comfortable seating. Ample parking. Food is average at best. Pass. • Gyrolicious, Jericho: Not for me. • Opa Grille, Williston Park: Opa can be loosely interpreted as “hail”. One of the better ones. Ample parking. Comfortable seating. A bit pricey with small portions but the food is above average. One of my family’s favorites, but not for me. • Platia Greek Station, Syosset: A relative newcomer. As with most new arrivals, the prices are unreasonable. Ample parking. Comfortable seating. Although the food is above average, I’ll pass. • Santorini Greek Restaurant, Merrick: Named after the island. My favorite for this area. I’ve sent numerous friends there and no one has yet to complain. Ample parking. Comfortable seating. The salad (with dinner) is great. My favorite is the half-chicken with the lemon potatoes. My wife loves the seafood house favorite. • Yasoo Yeeros, Plainview: Yasoo can be loosely interpreted as “greetings”. Ample parking. Comfortable See page D6

More Questions About the Timing of Social Security Checks BY TOM MARGENAU

Q: I think you covered this issue in a past column. But I’m still confused. I will turn 66 on Aug. 28, 2018. I want to start my Social Security then. And because I know that Social Security checks come one month behind, I understand that the first check I will be due will come in September. So when I sign up for Social Security, do I tell them I want my benefits to begin in August or September? A: You tell them you want your benefits to begin in August. You are right that Social Security checks are sent out one month late. In other words, your August payment will be deposited into your bank account in September. But don’t worry about the timing of the delivery of your Social Security check. Just worry about which month you want your Social Security eligibility to begin. And since you want your benefits to start at age 66, and you are 66 in August, then that is the month you tell them you want your benefits to start. Q: My mother passed away on March 27, 2018. The Social Security people are now demanding the check that was deposited in April (the March payment) be returned to them. How can that be? We paid her mortgage and other bills with the money taken out of her checking account. I agree that she shouldn’t get the money for the entire month of March. But why are they trying to steal her money for the 27 days she was alive? A: The Social Security Administration isn’t trying to steal your mom’s money. They are just following the law. And that law has always said that benefits are not prorated. That’s actually good news on the front end of someone’s eligibility for benefits. In other words, you get benefits for your whole first month of eligibility, even though you might not be technically eligible for benefits for the whole month. No one ever complains about that. But it can be bad news on the tail end of someone’s eligibility for benefits -- in other words, after a beneficiary dies. Of course, the deceased never complains about that, but his or her relatives always do. For example, the guy who wrote the first question in this column turns 66 on Aug. 28. He will get a Social Security check for August, even though he is 66 for only three days of that month. That probably makes him happy. But someday he is going to die. And if that happens to be near the end of a month, his family will have to return the check that is delivered the following month. And I am sure they will be upset about that and gripe about the fact that

benefits are not prorated. They will probably never know that when he first started getting Social Security, that lack of proration really helped him. Sadly, your mother didn’t live the whole month of March. So because benefits are not prorated, you are not due the March payment. But I hope she enjoyed the little bonus she got when she started getting Social Security. Q: My father, who was a widower, died on April 2, 2018. His March Social Security check that was due to arrive on April 11 was never deposited into his bank account. But wasn’t he due that check? A: Yes, he was -- because he was alive the whole month of March. But the law requires banks to return Social Security checks for their deceased depositors. So you should call Social Security at 800-772-1213 and explain the situation. You will be asked to fill out a form, and the proceeds of that check will be sent to you -- or divided up between you and your siblings if you have brothers and sisters. Q: In a prior column, you explained that Social Security checks are sent on the second, third or fourth Wednesday of the month, depending on a person’s date of birth. But I get my check on the third of each month. How come? Q: According to what you wrote in a prior column, I should be getting my check on the third Wednesday of each month. But I have been getting my check on the second Wednesday, the same date as my husband. I just thought you should know. A: These are just a couple examples of many emails I got following a column I wrote about Social Security check delivery dates. In that column, I explained that if you were born on the 1st through the 10th of the month, your Social Security check will be delivered on the second Wednesday of each month. If you were born on the 11th through the 20th, you get paid on the third Wednesday. And if you were born on the 21st through 31st, Social Security sends your check on the fourth Wednesday. I guess I should have said those delivery dates work as a general rule. Almost all people reading this column will get their Social Security checks as explained above. I can explain why some folks get their benefits on the third of each month. Before the Social Security Administration started staggering the delivery of Social Security checks about 20 years ago, everyone got their benefits on the third day of the month. When they changed the rules, they said that people already getting their checks on that day would continue to do so. So those of you receiving your benefits on the third must have been getting Social Security checks for a very long time.

More than a few women wrote to tell me that they get their benefits on the same day as their husband, corresponding to his birthdate. I can’t really explain that. It might have something to do with a woman getting benefits on a husband’s record and whose Social Security eligibility is tied in with his account.

Of course, it really doesn’t matter which day of the month you get your check, as long as it shows up on time each month.

If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has the answer. Contact him at thomas.margenau@comcast.net.

On Great Eats III: Greek Edition C ontinued from page D3 seating. Price is reasonable and so is the food. There are dozens of others including Grecian Grille (Farmingdale), Greek Place (New Hyde Park), Greek Tavern (Rockville Centre), Mykonos Taverna (Manhasset), Souvlaki Stop (Mineola), etc., etc. The above list would not be complete without the addition of other special/ unique places to enjoy Greek food. For diners, my favorite is the Old Westbury Diner (Westbury), owned and operated by the Dimas family; the Apollo Diner in Merrick is also one of the better ones. Greek festivals include St Paul’s

(Garden City Park) in early summer and the Port Washington Harborside in early fall. The food was once great but the quality and price have gone awry and in wrong directions. Pass on Harborside because of the parking and traffic control. Of the supermarket foods, I recommend North Shore Farms, Mineola; their pastitsio is the absolute best. Finally, Harry’s Hilltop Deli (in Williston Park) offers some excellent dishes. The best Greek restaurant? It may be in Tarpon Springs, Florida, a community overrun with Greeks and Greek-Americans. Pappas, was the most famous of all restaurants in earlier days. Today, it is

Mykonos, a hole-in-the-wall semi-diner, named after an island located off mainland Greece. It is a restaurant that two “Greeks,” along with your author, regularly visit. The other two Greeks? Tex Zoucourides, (I was his best man and our daughter, Molleen’s, Godfather) a retired baseball umpire and teamster rep, and Ernie Haridopolos, a retired superhero (legitimately) from the presently disgraced FBI. Dinner there is one of the highlights during each of my trips to the West Coast of Florida. My recommendations, if you are lucky to stop by, include: (1) the combination platter, (2) lamb chops, and (3) lamb sevetsky. P.S. I also need to comment on three additional stops.

1. I highly recommend two Portuguese restaurants: Heart of Portugal, Mineola, and Lisbon Café, Carle Place. Both got high marks. 2. Try Mr. Chen’s Chinese Restaurant, Carle Place– a local gem – for excellent food and very reasonable prices … but slow service. 3. I’ve been at the Swing the Teapot restaurant in Floral Park three times. The food is excellent and very reasonably priced; the service is also excellent. Try to stop by when the group Hell and High Water are entertaining (perhaps next fall). You’ll love them and the place.

Seneca Falls Hails its Role in Birthing Women’s Rights C ontinued from page D5 tribes, especially the land of her own Paiute Tribe; Susette LaFlesche, 18541903 (honored 1994), a member of the Omaha Tribe and a tireless campaigner for native American rights; Julia Ward Howe, 1819-1910 (honored 1998), suffragist and author of “Battle Hymn of the Republic.” a lecturer on religious subjects, a playwright, an organizer of a women’s peace movement and advocate for women’s equality in public and private life; and Emma Lazarus, 1849-1887 (honored 2009), famous for authoring the words at the base of the Statue of Liberty, “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,” and an important forerunner of the Zionist movement. There is the famous flyer Amelia Earhart but also Bessie Coleman, an aviatrix of the1920s, who was the first African American woman to have pilot’s license (at a time when women, let alone a black woman, were not allowed to have a license; Coleman went to Europe to get her license, what does that tell you?). I so appreciate the diversity of the women represented, especially in the 20th century, when women do have more educational and professional opportunities: astronaut Sally Ride; tennis player Billie Jean King who broke through for women’s athletics; Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sandra Day O’Connor. Madeleine Albright, Bella Abzug, Oprah Winfrey, Lucille Ball, Dorothea Lange,

Lilly Ledbetter, Margaret Sanger. (Go to the site to see the most recent inductees as well as search all). We commiserate over the life-size portrait of Hillary Rodham Clinton, who was already in the Hall of Fame as First Lady and New York Senator, the first woman to be a presidential candidate of a major political party, but should have been the first woman President. It is remarkable to look at the faces and read the short biographies of women who have made such important contributions, going back to colonial times. (National Women’s Hall of Fame, 76 Fall St, Seneca Falls, NY 13148, 315- 5688060, www.womenofthehall.org) Across the street, I stop in at the shop, Made by Women. I have time to wander around. I try to get to the “Wonderful Life Museum,” but it is closed. It offers a brochure for a self-guided walking tour. Seneca Falls is supposed to have been the model for Bedford Falls in the James Stewart classic movie, though it is hard to recognize today. (See: “Seneca Falls History and Connections,” www. wonderfullifemuseum.com/seneca-fallshistory-and-connections.) I wander over to the canalside park just in time, 7 pm, to enjoy an oldfashioned band concert by the Seneca Falls Community Band (33rd season!); there is a stand selling the absolutely best ice cream in the world.

150th Running of Belmont Stakes, Featuring Triple Crown Contender Justify, Kicks off With 3-Day Festival Belmont Stakes Week was kicked off by Nassau County Executive Laura Curran at Belmont Park. She was joined by New York Racing Association (NYRA) CEO Chris Kay, Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder, Department of Health Commissioner Dr. Lawrence Eisenstein, Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) President Phillip Eng and Nassau County Industrial Development Chairman Richard Kessel. “The Belmont Stakes has existed for 150 years and it is one of the largest sporting events in the world,” said County Executive Curran. “Every year, it provides a major economic boost to Nassau County.” The Belmont Stakes Racing Festival taking place at Belmont Park from Thursday, June 7 through Saturday, June 9, has quickly become an exciting way for sports fans to kick off the summer season in New York.

The spectacular new Triple Crown trophy, designed by sculptor Roberto Santo and created by silversmith Ubaldo Vitali, was unveiled at the press conference. The trophy stands 36 inches high and weighs about 45 pounds. During the course of the three-day festival, there will be 33 races, including 18 stakes, offering $9.4 million in purses, according to Kay. Entertainment will be top notch this year. Third Eye Blind will headline the performance lineup for the 2018 Belmont Stakes Racing Festival with trackside pre- and post-race concerts on June 9. Belmont Stakes Day will include a performance from the hit Broadway musical A Bronx Tale. On Friday, June 8, fans can enjoy a performance from the acclaimed Billy Joel tribute band Mike DelGuidice and Big Shot at the end of live racing. The Nassau County Police Department outlined traffic and security issues and the LIRR outlined its operations for the day. “The security of all spectators at the Belmont Stakes is the main priority of the Nassau County Police Department,” said Commissioner Ryder. “Numerous resources have been assigned and our Intelligence Unit is working with Federal, State and local authorities to ensure a safe environment.

High School recognizes outstanding students as Spring “Champions”

Congratulations to 11 Garden City High School students who were recently honored at the April 11th “Breakfast for Champions” ceremony that included parents, teachers, and administrators. The “Champions” were nominated by teachers in each high school department: “Each nominating teacher must convince the other teachers in their department that you are worthy,”

explained Principal Nanine McLaughlin to the attendees. “This is another way we can recognize our students for high achievement, having a can-do attitude, or being a bright ray of sunshine. We recognize these students for a variety of reasons, and commend you for being selected as a Champion. You are the bright spots in our day!”

Students honored at the “Breakfast of Champions”

Social studies teacher Dr. Michael Stratis nominated sophomore Anastasia Roukis for her “diligence and perseverance,” and being a student with “energetic responses,” were just two of the reasons Dr. Stratis nominated Anastasia as the Social Studies Department’s Spring Champion.

“Luke volunteers in the library and every day he wears a smile and brings positive energy,” shared nominating teachers Trish Sergei (left) and Margaux Calemmo about senior Luke Gannon – the Library/Media’s Spring Champion.

“Passionate about music”; and “wise beyond her years,” are two of the reasons music teacher Amanda Conte said about the Music Department’s Spring Champion Gianna Palmeri. Ms. Conte and Gianna are pictured here with Dr. Nina Prasso, Garden City’s District Coordinator for Music & the Arts.

Peter Giacalone, 6-12 Curriculum for World Languages, teaches senior Keelin Hegarty in College Spanish 5. “She has proven that she is a champion of compassion and kindness. She can accomplish anything!” Congratulations to Keelin – the World Languages Spring Champion.

GCHS’s Science Research teacher Dr. Steven Gordon nominated junior Cyrus Lalehzar as the Science Department’s Champion, stating, “Cyrus comes in every lunch period. He enters many contests; helps others; is a lover of organization – he even designed the layout of the Science Research room.”

67 Friday, June 8, 2018 The Garden City News

Junior Rudolph Baldeo, pictured here with his father and English teacher Diane Dolan, was selected as a Champion by Ms. Dolan and the English Department for his “unwavering efforts.”

Congratulations to junior Isabel Henke, nominated by guidance counselor Karen Whiston. Ms. Whiston said Isabel is “polite and dependable,” the perfect candidate for the Guidance Department’s Spring Champion.

GCHS teacher Katherine Squires nominated senior Kelly O’Keeffe as a Spring Champion. “Kelly has worked very hard – she is friendly and personable and wears a constant smile.”

“Victoria has taken six Business Education courses and excelled in every one – she goes above and beyond,” commented Business Department teacher Dr. Erin McKinstry about GCHS senior Victoria Miserere.

“Scott leads the group and is very creative and insightful,” shared mathematics coordinator Stu Dods about sophomore Scott Henneberger’s interest in mathematics, especially coding. Scott was GCHS’s Mathematics Department’s Spring Champion.

Art teacher Dennis Fediw selected freshman Deanna Turner as the Art Department’s Spring Champion stating: “Deanna consistently produces artwork far beyond her years!” Deanna and Mr. Fediw are pictured here with Dr. Nina Prasso, District Coordinator of Music & the Arts.

Garden City Trojans tame the Tornadoes to capture LI Championship In what were oppressive weather conditions with temperatures and humidity that only a camel could appreciate, the Trojans faced Suffolk County’s Harbor Fields Tornadoes for the Class B Long Island Championship. Making the stakes even larger, the winner moved on to play at Adelphi in the New York State Semifinal on June 6th. Of course, after winning the County Championship versus Manhasset, the coaches were concerned how the boys would respond to the quick turnaround against an unfamiliar opponent. Would they be satisfied or stay hungry and focused? Questions asked and answered with flying colors. From day one, the coaches have been impressed with the energy this group brings in both practice and games. There was no letdown as they jumped on and over their Suffolk County foes from beginning to end. From the outset, the Tornadoes tried in vain to utilize an outside, pressing defensive style to challenge the Trojans. They hoped to force match-ups they believed to be in their favor. Well, one thing our coaches do better than most is film study. With Harbor Fields having limited resources at midfield and defense, GC countered with speed and numbers to drive, dodge, and wear down the Tornadoes. A wave of fleet-footed, fresh-legged middies and attackmen were unleashed. The diversity of players that found the score sheet reflects the balance on this team. You cannot concentrate on any one player. In the first quarter, Will Puccio started the scoring on an assist from James Basile. Cole Dutton then found Trevor YeboahKodie on an inbounds feed from the baseline with less than one second for a 2-0 Trojan lead. The second quarter was the Joe Scatereggia show. Playing as if his pants were on fire, “Scats” found the net on consecutive possessions and assisted on

another. Liam Muldoon also tallied to make it 5-1 at half. After re-hydrating at halftime, the Trojans pushed their transition game to steamroll the Tornadoes. Kyle Steinbach ripped a burner to start the scoring surge. A one-handed steal by Cole Dutton led to a fast break with Liam Muldoon finding an open Liam Curtin for a slam dunk goal on the defenseless net minder. James Basile and Liam Muldoon added scores to pull away 9-2 after three quarters. While the offense was humming all day, the defense put on a clinic. They held the Tornadoes below their county leading 3.75 goals allowed per game. Teddy Dolan was well insulated while Colin Hart shut down Harbor Fields best. Shots were hard to come by and turnovers were produced on a regular basis. With several Tornadoes sharing a bucket on the sideline, the Trojans finished the game strong. Kyle Steinbach and Will Puccio added their second goals of the day while Jack Muldoon had one to complete the 12-3 final. Congratulations to the boys for earning back to back County and Long Island Championships. Congratulations to the coaches and our incredible trainer, Chris Napoli, who always have the boys prepared to play. Last, but not least, congratulations to Head Coach Steve Finnell on his 200th career victory at Garden City. While always the first to deflect personal accolades, he has earned national coach of the year honors, two New York State titles, five Long Island Championships, and ten County Championships. Next up for the Trojans is the New York State semi-final versus John Jay of Westchester County. The winner will play at St. John Fisher College in Rochester against an upstate foe for the State Championship on Saturday, June 9th Good luck boys!

Memorial Day Fair makes a splash in Garden City The Memorial Day Fair at the Cathedral of the Incarnation was a great success this year. After two consecutive years of rain, this year’s Fair was blessed with ideal weather. Beth Pughe, member of the Cathedral and the Fair’s

organizer, was very pleased. “We could not have asked for more perfect weather. No one wanted to be at the beach. They wanted to be at the fair, like in years past. “We had very little food left at the

food tent, unlike the past two years when we had refrigerators full,” Pughe said. “At the last minute I added 5,000 additional tickets to my initial order and was so happy I did since we ran low on those.” Record numbers of people attended the organ and piano concerts, which featured a six-hand piano version of "Stars and Stripes Forever." Vendors reported selling out merchandise at their tents alongside the Cathedral. The addition of more inflatables was a

huge success with families, although Pughe says she saw a lot of “parents with unhappy faces” as their children walked away with multiple goldfish at Boy Scout Troop 55’s goldfish booth. “Dunk the Dean” was also as popular as ever, as the Very Rev. Michael Sniffen took several turns in the dunk tank. “He is always a good sport and allows these crazy kids—mine included—to get a kick out of seeing him dunked in that cold water!” said Pughe.

Tryouts scheduled for GC GC Warriors win NY State Cup! Pool’s Summer Swim Teams

GC Breakaway shines in the sun and the rain The Girls U11 Garden City Breakaway made some memories by winning the Massapequa Lincoln Page Memorial Tournament over a crazy Memorial Day weekend of weather. The Breakaway started out fast on Saturday in hot and sticky conditions by beating the Massapequa Eliminators 5-0 and then DUSC Blue 4-0, with goals coming from several different girls. These two results saw them progress to the semifinals as bracket winners. On Sunday, amid some proper rain, the Breakaway secured a 1-0 win versus POB Warriors to set up a final game against the Smithtown Toros. In the final game, the Breakaway was right at it from kick-off, scoring early with a low Sienna Laderoute drive from 16 yards. A few minutes later, a nice delivery from a

Lily Rose corner saw Emily Cook sneak in at the back post to make it 2-0. Following some nice combination play, Elizabeth Ryan added a third with a tidy right foot finish to go up 3-1. The second half became a little tighter as Smithtown pulled one back, but the Breakaway defended well. With eight minutes to go Deonna Cusomano broke through the middle and found the net to seal a 4-1 win and lots of celebrating! Congratulations to the girls on a great weekend and their first tournament win: Devlin Abbate, Lulu Caldara, Kate Connolly, Emily Cook, Kaitlin Cook, Deonna Cusumano, Ciara Hegarty, Sienna Laderoute, Julia Melendez, Ella Pocock, Lily Rose, Elizabeth Ryan, Carrie Schneider, and Katherine Torre.
