Additional work needed to stabilize St. Paul’s roof

LONG ISLAND CHAMPIONS

BY RIKKI MASSAND A decision to spend nearly $150,000 more on the stabilization and protection of the historic St. Paul’s main building in Garden City took several turns during the Village Board of Trustees’ June 2 meeting, as an emergency roof replacement project was on the agenda. With the mounting costs and unanticipated expenses of securing the roof on St. Paul’s, which has suffered from the years of water infiltration, the board wanted to examine reasoning for the investment in protecting the building as its future is uncertain. Back at its meeting on March 24, the Board of Trustees approved an allocation of $321,400 to address St. Paul’s roofing problems, as they were observed prior to the start of this stabilization phase.

New trustee joins Asian beetle threatens village trees Board of Education BY GARY SIMEONE

The little green bug known as the Emerald ash borer has been leaving a trail of destruction in ash trees over the past few years throughout the country. The bug, which is native to Asia, was believed to be introduced by way of shipping materials such as packing crates in cargo ships. Paul Blake,chairman of Board of Commissioners of Cultural/Recreational Affairs, said his department is working with the DEC (Department Environmental Conservation) to

help control the situation. “We’ve lost ten Ash trees in the last two weeks throughout the Village, and we could possibly lose twenty more in the next month,” said Blake. “The information we’ve gotten from the DEC is that when the trees come down, the remnants need to be burned to help control the spread of these bugs. Other than that there’s not much they can do at this point.” He said that the DEC is asking the public if they happen to spot an infected tree, to call it in so the tree can be burned in a prop-

er manner. “This is not just a Long Island problem, it’s an issue throughout the country, where hundreds of millions of Ash trees are at risk of dying from this invasive beetle,” said Blake. He said the DEC has considered the use of insecticide to help control the spread of the Emerald ash borer, but that it’s a process that must be maintained for several years and there’s no guarantee it will work in the long-run. See page 34

BY KASSARA MCELROY The Board of Education public work session on Tuesday, June 7th began with an introduction to new board member, Trustee Joe Sileo, followed by a deep dive into the District’s 2022-2025 Technology Plan and American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) fund allocation. “It is a pleasure having you join us,” said President Bill Holub, welcoming Sileo. “This was a very difficult last few years, and we’re excited to have you as part of the Board … you’re going to do great things for our kids and families.” See page 46

A WORD FROM THE PUBLISHER

Another year of promenades As we are finally heading into the summer season, we are happy to hear that the village’s weekly Friday Night Promenade series is starting up again this week. The promenades were started in 2013, and originally were the idea of a group of Seventh Street merchants and restaurants as a way to increase business in the challenging summer season. The Promenades were immediately very popular, as residents enjoyed the opportunity to socialize and eat outdoors on warm summer nights. During the pandemic outdoor dining became a lifeline for struggling restaurants, and Promenades also gave residents who were disinclined to socialize indoors a place to go for some

fun. One of the things that makes Garden City special is having a street full of neighborhood businesses such as Seventh Street. In addition to paying taxes that support the schools and village government, the businesses provide a sense of community. Supporting them helps us all. ••• We are working on our annual Sports Wrapup issue that will be published on July 1st.

Time to demolish St. Paul’s

To the Editor: I am the member of a group of senior citizens in favor of total demolition. The final stage of demolition calls for the site to be appropriately graded, restored and landscaped for its future use. This future use can be determined after the demolition. Future use should not be part of the 2 question referendum that the Mayor’s committee is working on. The average age of our group is 75 and we are really not the correct age of the people that should be fighting this battle. If the Village votes to restore the building you will paying for it for the next 40 years and some of our senior group might be gone before the building is restored. Do you want to pay for 40 years or make a one time payment to make the building disappear??? We truly believe that we represent the silent majority. Young people must get involved so that we are no longer silent. The current Trustees voted for funding ads in the GC News and using

Leave it alone

To the Editor: All these 30 years and still trying to figure out what to do with St. Paul’s School - condos, a library, a school, etc. The list of possibilities is endless. My question is why is it necessary for the building to have a function? Can’t it just be? Can you imagine if the Romans had torn down the Colosseum to make way for condos or a parking lot? But they were much too smart for that. Could we please smarten up here in Garden City and just leave St. Paul’s alone? Fix what needs to be fixed and walk away. It is a treasure that cannot be replaced. Joanne Hobbs

Stewart School recently held its second annual Everyone Matters Day. The day was designed by school social worker Mrs. Vincent, and was created to teach students about the importance of mental wellness. Students learned how to take care of their bodies and minds through a number of stress-reduction activities in multiple subject areas, including music, art and physical education. Students also learned coping mechanisms to use when they become overwhelmed. Each grade made their own

Friday, June 10, 2022 The Garden City News

“Everyone Matters Day” teaches students about mental wellness tool they could implement when feeling frustrated, anxious or mad. For example, second graders designed calming water bottles, third graders made breathing sticks from pipe cleaners and beads, fourth graders designed zen rocks with inspirational drawings and messages, and fifth graders created clay kindness hearts. Students enjoyed a fun-filled break from academics and the emphasis on stress-relief activities. Stewart School thanked the PTA for donating the craft supplies.

Belmont Festival Friday The annual Belmont Stakes celebration will take place on Friday, June 10th starting at 6 p.m. on Seventh Street. The event kicks off the Friday Night Promenade series, during which Seventh Street is closed to vehicular traffic on Friday evenings during the summer through September 16th.

The Belmont Festival marks the 154th running of the Belmont Stakes, the third event in racing’s Triple Crown. This family-friendly event will offer live music, local fare, alfresco dining and much more. Live music will be provided by the 5 Stone Band and Old School.

GC Middle School named a “No Place for Hate” school Garden City Middle School received a “No Place for Hate” designation from the Anti-Defamation League. The school has been recognized as a place that has created an inclusive learning environment, fosters kindness and has the tools to proactively address bias and bullying incidents. Garden City Middle School planned and executed four schoolwide events to promote kindness and demonstrate a positive environment. In the process, these events cultivated student leadership and built a greater school community. Throughout this school year, Garden City Middle School has created a GSA Network, which is a club open to all students that aims to empower LGBTQ youth and allies to advocate and organize movements

for safe, healthy, judgement-free environments. Another initiative that helped GCMS receive this designation was the expansion of Unity Day. Students and staff made this year’s theme United We Care. The message of uniting kindness, acceptance and inclusion lasted longer than just one day, with events and communication taking place through the spring. Additionally, the middle school community participated in a number of GC Cares events, engaging in community service with people from different backgrounds. Lastly, GCMS was recognized for its Helping Hands activities — a food drive, toy drive and pajama drive ahead of the holiday season. Garden City Middle School will be receiving a No Place for Hate banner to hang proudly in the building.

The A.T. Stewart Consignment Shop BY MELISSA JAEGER Father’s Day and BBQs … Dear old Dad, always gets the short shrift … Did you know that Father’s Day is the fourth most popular grilling day? 49% of grill owners break out the cue to prepare a celebratory meal. Why is that? On Father’s Day, dads want to spend time with their family enjoying their favorite activities. Afternoons at the ballpark, local car shows, music festivals and a round of golf are some favorites. Since the Middle Ages, Catholic countries of Europe have celebrated Father’s Day on March 19th as Saint Joseph’s Day to honor the influence of fathers in society. In the United States, Father’s Day was the brainchild of Sonora Smart Dodd in 1910, who held her father in great esteem. He single-handedly raised Sonora and her six siblings. After hearing a church sermon about the newly established Mother’s Day, Sonora felt that fatherhood should be recognized as well. She approached the Spokane Ministerial Alliance and suggested her own father’s birthday, of June 5, 1910, as the day of honor for fathers. The Alliance chose the third Sunday in June instead. It was not until President

Lyndon Johnson signed a presidential proclamation in 1966 declaring the third Sunday of June as Father’s Day. In 1972, President Nixon established a permanent national observance of Father’s Day. Of course, Father’s Day should be celebrated every day! To help you find a little something for dear old Dad, we have some interesting items at the Exchange. Check out the interesting wallets, and money clips, as well as pewter and ceramic steins. To put you in the mood for the inevitable barbecues, why not pick up some of our fun paper BBQ and lobster placemats. We’ve even showcased Dad’s gifts on our dining table! Cornelia’s Courtyard Sale, Saturday, June 18th is around the corner! (don’t worry – I’ll remind you every week). Get a head-start on your Christmas shopping AND find some great bargains for dear old dad. The Courtyard Sale will take place, where else, but on the patio outside the Exchange. The Sale will be 11:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. In addition to Christmas items at ridiculously low prices, we will have a variety of glass, china, linens, furniture and lots of other items. As always, the Shop will be open with our great merchandise. And leading up to this event, we will have a raffle – “Potted Greens.”

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

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

THE MAYOR’S UPDATE cveneziale@gardencityny.net

Security Assessment

In light of the recent tragedy in Uvalde, Texas, I asked Police Commissioner Kenneth Jackson to provide a security assessment overview of the Garden City school district and Village open facilities, including the Village Hall complex and the community parks. The Police Department continues to evaluate security protocols and conditions on a daily basis and value the input and cooperation from stakeholders involved in these critical infrastructures. In 2005, the Department conducted its first assessment of the school district; in 2018 a more comprehensive assessment was performed, with help from a security agency hired by the District. Today, assessing and protecting critical infrastructure and key assets in the Village is an ongoing process. The Department has access to the school district’s security camera system and floor plans, and Police Officers routinely do walk-throughs in the district school buildings. Three to four lock down drills per school are conducted annually. Officers conduct debriefings with school staff following each drill to praise positive actions

and provide guidance in areas where improvements can be made. The Department is also working with the private schools in the Village in regards to their safety protocols. A security assessment of Police Headquarters, the Fire Department, Village Hall and Village Court was completed in 2014. Based on that assessment, the Police Department applied for and received funding to enhance security infrastructure of the premises. Cameras were installed inside and outside Village Hall, the Fire Department, and Police Department, and Village Court. Over the years, cameras and license plate readers have also been installed at park facilities and parking fields. These cameras can be viewed inside Police Headquarters and inside the mobile command unit. The Department can remotely place Village Hall on lockdown; panic buttons were placed at key locations

in the building and Courtroom. Active Shooter Situational Awareness training was presented to employees by Homeland Security and Garden City Police, with additional sessions to be scheduled. At the Garden City Library, the Police Department completed a security assessment in 2018 resulting in additional cameras, a security guard, and revised policies and procedures. Further, License plate readers were added to the Library’s Parking Field. Situational A wareness Training was also conducted by Homeland Security and Garden City Police for Library staff. I am thankful Commissioner Jackson is on top of everything. Deputy Mayor Tom O’Brien added, “I saw many beautiful letters from teachers. You’re staying ahead of the curve and I appreciate that.”

Addressing Cherry Valley Train Trestle Bridge Strikes

The Cherry Valley Road Bridge was built in 1871 and serves the Hempstead branch. This bridge replacement project is necessary to raise the bridge structure to avoid truck strikes that cause delays on the Hempstead branch. Although clearance height signs, including solar power units, are clearly marked in the area and the site of Long Island Rail Road overpass bridges, incidents of bridge strikes continue at this location. There were 23 bridge strikes to this bridge in 2021, including two in one day. Further, just this week, two more trucks struck the overpass. The frequency of these incidents underline the need to improve the bridge’s safety and reliability for vehicles and for LIRR passengers. Cherry Valley Road Bridge will be raised to accommodate a vertical height clearance of 14 feet to allow trucks to safely pass beneath it. At my request, I, along with other Village officials, met with the VIllage’s LIRR government liaisons and the project manager on Tuesday, May 31 to discuss, among other things, preservation aspects of the plan. I requested modification of the new steel trestle to be more historically accurate, and urged they maintain as much of the existing stonework as possible.

American Red Cross Administrator to Speak on Tuesday, April 26

Next Tuesday, April 26, 12:15 p.m., at Calogero’s Resturant, 919 Franklin Avenue, the Mineloa-Garden City Rotary Club will welcome Debbie Gibbons, regional recruitment manager, American Red Cross. Debbie will speak about her many roles and of the missions of this non-profit humanitarian organization. Always on the ground to help the needy, the mission of the American Red Cross is to “prevent and alleviate human suffering in the face of emergencies by mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors.” The Red Cross responds to approximately 7 emergencies and disasters a day across the region, which include home fires, floods building collapses and more. It provides shelter, food, clothing and emotional support at no cost to those in need. With needs on the ground in Ukraine remaining critical, the Red Cross has reached more than 750,000 people with live-saving aid both within Ukraine and neighboring countries and has donated 10 million dollars for Ukraine crisis relief. Currently, as American Red Cross regional recruitment manager, Debbie Gibbons’ career had started in distribution as a buyer. She had been a director of inventory management for a global company accumulating many accolades along the way. But, after 26 years, her mindset altered and she decided to pivot to non-profit, looking at work in volunteering simply as “the right thing to do!” In the past 10 years, Debbie Gibbons has played many roles at the American Red Cross — from building partnerships to connecting volunteers to the mission of the Red Cross and serving as the regional volunteer services officer many times over. As volunteer manager, Debbie is experienced in working across functional and geographic boundaries to ensure appropriate levels of adult and youth recruitment. Her engagement efforts support disaster response and day-to-day requirements within the Greater New York Region which serves 11 million people in New York City, on Long Island, in Rockland and Westchester Counties; at West Point and at Greenwich Connecticut Debbie Gibbons is also the co-chair of Long Island Voluntary Organizations. She has been recognized as an amazing

On Sunday May 22, the AT Stewart Exchange Shop at The Garden City Historical Society held a pop up sale which featured Carter Jones, 11 year old Stratford fifth grader and classmates, as the lead sales team. The original vision for a plant sale was Carter’s dating back to late 2021 in conjunction with classmates, James Dunn and James Wenk (11, Stratford 5th grade). Carter worked with creative designer Tara Zysopoulos to promote the A.T. Stewart Exchange event via social media. Carter and his mom, Jessica Jones, came up with two non-profit organizations to donate a portion of the proceeds to: Mollie’s Fund and the North Shore Animal League. These are two causes important to Carter and Carter’s mom: protecting and caring for animals and melanoma awareness, a disease that has afflicted Carter’s extended family. On May 22, Melissa Jaeger, Carter and friends were joined by Lucas Argenziano and ohn Seivers of the Boy Scouts, Emma and Emma’s moth-

er from the National Charity League, Bill Garry, president of TGCHS, Kathleen Sweeney and Diane Geyer, trustees of TGCHS, James Wenk (5th grade, Stratford), James Dunn (5th grade, Stratford) to sell annuals and perennials including peonies, zinnias, dahlias, container collections, hanging baskets, verbena and more in addition to the irresistible inventory of the Exchange Shop. The event raised funds for Mollie’s Fund, The Garden City Historical Society, North Shore Animal League and offered an opportunity for Garden City’s students to learn about how business can be used as a platform for doing good. Like Marc Benioff, founder and co-CEO of Salesforce says “No matter what business you’re in, values are the bedrock of a resilient company culture that inspires all employees, at every level, to do the best work of their lives.” In the 5th grade, Carter and his friends are learning how everyone has a role to play as an agent of change in the business of doing good and giving back.

The Eastern Property Owners Association has awarded a $1000 scholarship to Garden City High School senior Kaitlyn Fuoco. As in prior years, the EPOA focused its scholarship search on college bound seniors residing in the East who demonstrated outstanding records of community service. This year, the EPOA scholarship committee had many exceptionally deserving applicants! Kaitlyn will attend Providence College in the fall. Kaitlyn has been exemplary in her involvement in community service. One way to describe her service is to stress its breadth and depth. Kaitlyn’s breadth includes more 550 hours of service. Some highlights include volunteering at the Garden City Community Church’s Summer Adventures Camp, tutoring at the Belmont Childcare Center, receiving a Silver Award from the Girl Scouts and extensive involvement with numerous charities such as Habitat for Humanity, Book Fairies and the Mary Brennan Inn through the National Charity League. Her depth in community service is epitomized by her self -run Toy

Drive for Cohen Children’s Hospital. Kaitlyn initiated the drive by reaching out to family, friends, neighbors, Scouts, National Charity league members and Garden City sports teams. She delivered over 30 large bags of toys to the hospital. The hospital was impressed and appreciative of her contributions. While being involved in these activities, Kaitlyn was on the Executive Board of Peer Educators at the High School, captain of varsity swimming with the team also involved in many charities and a drum major in the Marching Band. Kaitlyn has been honored for her community service by outside groups. She won the Youth Humanitarian Award given by the Nassau PTA and The Adelphi University Prize for leadership in community service. She is the Vice President for Philanthropy for the National Charity League. The EPOA is thrilled to honor Kaitlyn’s terrific efforts and achievements! It congratulates her and all the outstanding applicants as they graduate from high school. The EPOA feels fortunate to have these committed students contribute to our community.

P h o to g r a p h y H is to r y

I took this photo in 2004 of the beautiful eagle above the front door of the Garden City Post Office. Most people go in and out of the post office never noticing it. The Garden City Post Office was built in 1936 during the “art-deco” period of architecture. This eagle is just one of many interesting details of this building which is now over 85 years old. I was in it recently and thought to myself how much longer can the U.S. Post Office hold on in our rapidly changing world. Things we took for granted all our lives are disappearing overnight. So, I thought it would be fun to take a peek into the future in the year 2042 and see how a future grandfather explains to his 10 year-old grandson about the “Post Office.”

Asian beetle threatens ash trees in Village From page 1 “Many Ash trees line our Village’s streets, and it’s sad to see many of our streets and avenues almost bare of trees,”said Blake. “I hear about it on my end from residents who are concerned when we’re removing two or three trees at a time from a street and only planting one or two back. It takes a long time for these trees to grow back.” Another ongoing issue he spoke about was a tree disease called beech leaf disease, which is currently affecting beech trees throughout Long Island. “From what I’ve been told, this beech leaf disease is spreading at a slower rate then the beetle problem, but it’s still an issue all its own.” According to Blake, the DEC is again

asking the public to call it in if they identify a problem with beech trees. “Nematodes are the cause of this disease and the beech tree is considered dead when the majority of its leaves are covered in these dark, patchy stripes,” said Blake. He added that it can take six to ten years for this disease to kill a mature beech tree and only one to two years to kill a sapling. “Trees mean so much to our environment, from generating oxygen, to absorbing pollution and providing shade and shelter with their beautiful canopies. We hope that we won’t have to take a lot of trees down in a short period of time due to these issues.”

Let’s listen in: - Grandfather: “It was called a ‘post office.’” - 10 yr. old grandson: “What’s a ‘Post?’” - Grandfather: “It’s another word for ‘mail.’” - 10 yr. old grandson: “Like email?” - Grandfather: “Not quite - just listen and learn. When we wanted to mail a letter we would put it in a paper envelope and address it and then we would take a small paper stamp and lick the back which had a little glue on it and adhere it to the envelope and...” - 10 yr. old grandson: “What?!! That’s gross! Mom!! Grandpa is making stuff up again!” -Grandfather: “I am not making it up you little brat. Now sit down and let me finish. Now after we put the stamp on it, we would go to a mailbox which was a large metal box somewhere in our neighborhood with a little door on it, and put it in there. Eventually, a mailman would empty the box and take it to the local post office and then it was sorted and sent to wherever we wanted it to go.” - 10 yr. old grandson: “Wouldn’t it be easier to just email it?” - Grandfather: “Like I told you a thousand times, we didn’t always have email! Now let me continue. The U.S. Post Office employed an army of thousands of men and women dressed in military-like uniforms who, six days a week, but not on Sundays, would visit every house, apartment and business all over the country. In order to receive the mail we would have small boxes attached to our houses and the mailman would put the mail in there.” - 10 yr. old grandson: “ You’re kidding!” - Grandfather: “No, I’m not. This was done for hundreds of years with the concept not really changing much until they went out of business.” - 10 yr. old grandson: “What happened to all of the post offices?” - Grandfather: “They became distribution centers for Amazon. That’s why every community has one.” - 10 yr. old grandson: “What will you tell me next time you visit, Grandpa?” - Grandfather: “Next time I’ll tell you about a library card we would use at the library to borrow books.” - 10 yr. old grandson: “What’s a library... and what’s a book and why would I want to borrow it?!! Mom!! Grandpa is making stuff up again!”

Saint Anne School first grade students released ladybugs near the beautiful Mary statue in front of the brand new Saint Francis Ministry Center. In Mrs. Mitchell's science lab the students learned so much about ladybugs! They observed the lifecycle from eggs to larva

into pupa and finally ladybugs. Can you believe there are 5,000 species of ladybugs and they can live up to a whole year? They even hibernate in the winter! Farmers love having ladybugs around to eat the aphids, which like to eat the leaves in their crops.

Queen Elizabeth and the Platinum Jubilee BY BOB MORGAN, JR. Having discussed about the appalling massacre in Texas last week, let’s switch to a more appealing topic – Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II as she celebrates her Platinum Jubilee commemorating 70 years as the country’s sovereign. I recognize that the Queen is not everyone’s hero, and let me start out as a counterpoint with some wisdom from my late mother. Both her parents came over from Ireland (they met here) and she considered herself a proud Irish American. I can’t say she was a fan of Britain or its long rule over Ireland, and she basically believed that Northern Ireland was a fake country created by Britain to perpetuate its rule. On the other hand, there was some moderation in her views; she disliked the violent tactics of the Irish Republican Army, which she believed was an embarrassment to the Irish people. But when it came to Queen Elizabeth, my mother professed not to understand the whole concept of royalty. In her view, no one is better than anyone else and the idea of kings and queens runs completely contrary to that natural equality. I certainly understand what my mother was saying and her view was entirely consistent with those of the Founding Fathers of our own country. The Constitution expressly prohibits the granting of titles of nobility. George Washington specifically rejected the idea of becoming king. Still, I believe that you do not need to have warm feelings for the concept of monarchy to admire Queen Elizabeth as she celebrates her Platinum Jubilee. Queen Elizabeth came to the throne following the early death of her father, King George VI, in February 1952, a few months before I was born. In my lifetime there have been, for example, 14 United States Presidents (Harry Truman was President when I was born) and seven Catholic popes (Pius XII was the pope in 1952). But only one British monarch, Elizabeth II. During that long, long time, the

Queen has managed to navigate different times and political crises in her country, and a variety of prime ministers heading "her" government. While the king or queen of Britain wields little actual political power, the monarch is the head of state and a highly visible symbol of the country. Whether or not in agreement with a particular policy, or having a high opinion of a particular leader, the king or queen is required to stand loyally behind the current leader and the leader’s policies. Indeed, at the opening of each Parliament, the monarch reads the platform and legislative program of the party in power And there have been many, many issues and crises during Elizabeth’s reign, from the Suez crisis in the 1950’s to the coal strikes in the 1970’s to the Iraq War in the early 2000’s, to Covid recently. Despite the divisions these crises have engendered, Elizabeth has always been able to stay above partisan disagreements. Of course, Elizabeth, as leader of the royal family, has had to deal with extensive scrutiny concerning various family crises, most notably the failed marriage of her son and heir, Charles, to Princess Diana, which was followed by Diana’s tragic death. The Queen was portrayed as uncaring, but it was difficult for her to reconcile the traditional British stiff upper lip with an increasingly emotive society. In time, her demeanor became more open and caring. More recently, she has had to deal, in a discreet way, with her errant son, Prince Andrew. Through all the years, Elizabeth has been an energetic and tireless figure, presiding at all sorts of functions, greeting world leaders and frequently traveling abroad. I guess it is possible to share the misgivings of my mother and many others about the institution of monarchy and still believe that Elizabeth has been an admirable figure who has devoted a lifetime of service to her country and represented Britain well. It was good that her country came together for the Platinum Jubilee.

Additional work needed to stabilize St. Paul’s roof From page 1 The Board hoped to receive up to a 75% reimbursement of costs by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), as the damage to the roofing was due to Hurricanes Henri and Ida (late August and early September 2021). Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi said FEMA’s objectives for reimbursement would cover damages related to severe storms, hurricanes and high wind events. “The Phase 2 project work that was awaiting us clearly didn’t hold up to the wind damage to the roof that came with the stronger storms,” he said. However, during the first half of 2022 the Mayor’s Committee on St. Paul’s has been examining the building and disseminating information to the community about it. Ultimately the Commitee’s work will serve as a the precursor to a village-wide referendum to determine whether St.

Paul’s will be preserved or if demolition of the building is its fate after 140 years. During the June 2 meeting Village Administrator Suozzi introduced the agenda item to allocate another $149,640 as the “St. Paul’s Roof Replacement Emergency Project,” to cover a change order submitted by contractor Ahearn Holtzman, Inc., based in Port Chester, for emergency roof repairs “not figured into the original scope of work.” “These areas were discovered when the contractor started to make the repairs, up on the lift, and it was determined that they need to be addressed at this time. This afternoon (June 2) the village was notified that FEMA has approved an extension until October 1, 2024 to complete these roof repairs, and that makes the village eligible to receive 75% of these costs – it means, if the village spends the funding noted, it would receive back $353,280 and that would leave the village with a TOTAL cost for the repairs of approximately $117,000,”

Suozzi explained. Mayor Cosmo Veneziale said this report offered “good news” and Village Administrator Suozzi immediately thanked the village treasurer, Irene Woo, the Finance Department, and Superintendent of Building Giuseppe Giovanniello for their participation in calls with FEMA to discuss the repairs. Suozzi said with FEMA reimbursement likely, it was not yet clear how the funds would come back to Garden City if there was a need for the capital project budget or General Fund to record it as a revenue in the municipal budget. “The 75% reimbursement would offset costs though it may not be allocated back to the village’s capital fund,” he advised. Giovanniello said the total cost for St. Paul’s roof work and protections would be $471,000 which represents a sum lower than the second-lowest bidder on the original roofing stabilization project.

Deputy Mayor Tom O’Brien noted that the project was fully budgeted and the village stands a good chance of getting 75% ($353,280) costs back from FEMA. Steve Ilardi, a resident of Meadow Street, asked about the timing of a request for the FEMA reimbursement. Administrator Suozzi said the request would be submitted immediately. Ilardi also asked if any of the prior $2 million allocated to the stabilization work at St. Paul’s (pre-pandemic) was reimbursed by FEMA and Administrator Suozzi clarified that this roofing repair project is specifically eligible because it is due to storm damage from Isaias in 2020, as well as Henri and Ida in 2021. Ryan Mulrooney, head of the Finance subcommittee of the Mayor’s Committee on St. Paul’s spoke during public comments on June 2. “I saw it as the Finance Subcommittee’s job to try and estimate what a refurbishment of St. Paul’s main

New trustee joins Garden City Board of Education From page 1 Holub also acknowledged newly elected and future Board President Billy O’Donahue, who listened in from the audience that night and will officially fill his seat in July. “Welcome and congrats. If you have questions, I’m always around.”

Schools Technology Plan

Dr. Rita Melikian led the District’s technology committee as it presented the District’s Technology Plan for the 2022-2025 school years, designed to facilitate and enhance student learning. The New York State Education Department requires the District to update this every three years. The team began by reviewing and assessing goals from the 2018-2022 plan to fill in any gaps with the new one. This current plan was already reviewed and revised by BOCES before the night’s presentation, and was sent to the State following the meeting. Feedback is expected to be received back from the State in the next three months. The four core goals of the Technology Plan for 2022-2025 school years specific to the Garden City School District include: Goal #1: Implement technology goals for K-12 students with a focus on digital literacy and citizenship with healthy habits around technology, while empowering student voice and ensuring that learning is a student-driven process. Goal #2: Provide differentiated professional development options for all educators to ensure stakeholders are utilizing various technological platforms and modalities in a way that: fosters curiosity of learning, engages

students in cognitive struggle, builds collaboration, creativity, and confidence in educational settings with real world applications. Goal #3: Continue to provide technology driven opportunities that are culturally and linguistically responsive to all learning styles and needs, while adhering to standards based rich learning experiences as collegial sharing opportunities of innovative technology methods are cultivated amongst educators. Goal #4: Improving our infrastructure/cybersecurity posture and securing staff and students data privacy. “We looked at technology from a different lens, through the parent and teacher point of view. We really don’t want that dependency,” explained a committee member. “This is a tool. Not everything should be done this way. Our goals represent how we develop healthy habits surrounding technology with our students. What are we teaching them about screen time, digital literacy, digital citizenship, etc.” A detailed breakdown of the action plan required to achieve each of these four goals can be found on the District’s Board of Education website. Once approved by the State, the committee plans to meet annually to monitor the progress of these goals.

American Rescue Plan Act funds

Then the discussion shifted to the status of the 2021-2022 American Rescue Plan Act funds and an overview of a draft for the 2022-2023 school year. This consists of: The Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations (CRRSA) authorizes funding for a sec-

ond Education Stabilization Fund to prevent, prepare for and respond to the coronavirus. The District was allocated $299,066. The Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) federal funding addresses the impacts COVID-19 has had on K-12 students, educators, and families. The District was allocated $672,146. The presentation detailed what has been spent so far and what will be spent during the 2022-2023 and 20232024. A complete breakdown of the allocation of funds (e.g. summer program SCOPE, before and after school supports, and much more) can be found on the District’s website. As far as next steps, this month there will be two virtual community discussion sessions held — one on June 8 at 6:00pm and another on June 10 at 12:30pm — to gain public input on the updated plan. An updated plan will be presented later this month, and a final version will be implemented in July.

Questions from the Board

Trustee Tom Pinou began by thanking the committee for its hard work on developing the comprehensive technology plan beginning back in November 2021. “I want to thank the entire committee. I’ve never seen so much enthusiasm from all the different stakeholders involved. You blew me away, you really did.” He then shared a couple comments. “We used to take this show on the road. I’d like to see our students provide a little bit of a show and tell of 3D printing, AI, robotics, etc. and invite the community. I think it would be a great opportunity for the students, parents

and teachers. I encourage we do that as soon as possible so nothing else suddenly closes that door.” “I like the idea of meeting annually, but I would ask if possible it might be more beneficial to meet semi-annually. A lot of things change in six months.” He also reiterated that with any new apps being tested to be extra mindful of data collection. Trustee Matthew Wakeham asked, “How do we connect the dots between this work and get our students to compete in competitions and get involved in work that really sets us apart.” The committee said by providing opportunities for students to gain exposure through projects that inspire interest/ creativity along with special events like AI day celebrated in the schools this past May. The team also explained that students receive conceptual exposure beginning in kindergarten and primary school, giving them skill sets at a young age that will help them to find that pathway into middle and high school. Vice President Stephanie Granville stated, “Really happy one of the goals was using technology to support students with disabilities ENL or difficulty reading. Because this is so powerful for kids to be independent. I appreciate that that’s a goal because it’s really important. There are so many great technologies that we can use now for that. I hope all our teachers will first and foremost receive training in that.” “I want to take a moment to acknowledge Dr. Melikian, this is her last technology plan with us,” said Dr. Kusum Sinha, Superintendent of Schools. “She’s been a visionary and we look forward to implementing this plan.”

building would cost, versus what a demolition would cost – we would then give those two numbers to the village and let the village proceed to a referendum based on those financial elements and all other pieces of information. The Board of Trustees need to anticipate the vote of the village’s majority, either way – if the vote is to refurbish St. Paul’s then we can’t be leaving holes in the roof now for a cost of $150,000 which we think we are able to get 75% back – that comes to about $5 per Garden City household. If it is voted on to refurbish and restore, and then we go through another hurricane season without fixing the roof to being fully secured, residents will be saying ‘why didn’t the village protect the building like we’ve been saying for the last 20 years?’ Then, what would the costs be a year from now or will FEMA still cover it at that point? If the residents decide to demolish the building, we would still need to secure the roof so

that abatement could take place. We’d still have to do some amount of work on the roof and we need to consider what that would cost down the line with the prices rising all the time. We need to have faith in the professionals and make the best choices. It would be much easier for financial projections too if we knew the roof was secured before either restoring or demolishing is decided on,” Mulrooney said. Mayor Veneziale confirmed that his point on the need for roof stabilization even in the case of a villagewide referendum favoring demolition is valid. Bill Garry, a longtime volunteer with the Garden City Historical Society and chair of the Historic Research subcommittee of the special Mayor’s Committee on St. Paul’s, spoke about the necessity of preserving the building and securing the roof now: “I feel the obligation to urge the village board to vote in favor of repairing

the roof and stopping the damage. It is in ALL residents interests – even if you are an advocate for St. Paul’s demolition, it is in your interest as that building contains many highly valuable and salvageable building materials, architectural and ornamental treatments and items that are rare and valuable. We must preserve what we have and it is in all our best interests to protect the building and repair the roof, and even in the case of demolition being decided on that allows for us to keep what we can out of St. Paul’s,” he said. Fourth Street resident Steve Iris said the preservation of St. Paul’s holds the potential to unite the residents of the village for decades to come. He owns a historic hotel in the Carolinas which he “saved from the bulldozer” and noted how visitors flock there to bask in the ambiance. “As our country becomes more and more diverse, all that we have that

will unite us in the future is our common history and culture. Frankly our common history only goes back a few hundred years, and those of us who are trustees are entrusted with maintaining that common history and culture. There’s a saying ‘If you build it, they will come’ – but we do not have to build, there is already a building and we just need to stabilize it. From building maintenance 101 in high school, you need to fix the roof first. Water is insidious and it will find its way in each hole and work its way around, and get to places where we don’t want it. I don’t know what it cost to have the fence put up around St. Paul’s so that people don’t see what was going on, but had that not been done and without the money spent on it, we may not be speaking about spending another $149,000 needed now for the roof,” he said.

New trustee joins Garden City Board of Education Parents ask about website, security

Tom Boccafola of Locust Street came up to the mic first. “As far as what’s not working, the school website has to be fixed, kind of surprised it’s not somewhere in this technology plan. Why can’t our school have an app? And I don’t know if anyones tried to find a teacher’s email but you can’t.” The committee explained that emails cannot be listed for ransomware reasons, and that while updating the website doesn’t fall into the technology plan it will be updated over the summer. “The District is testing different products and increased staffing in that area to assist with the website and app specifically. We’re also working on an all-in-one communications platform that is even better for our end users, the parents. You’ll hear about that in the coming weeks,” added Dr. Sinha. Kristen Griffin of Kensington Road then asked, “What steps will we take to assure we have appropriate firewall and content blocks on student district issued devices?” The committee explained that there are layers of not just firewalls but content filters and blocks for keywords, but the struggle is that although we have all of those and the best in the industry the people who work on the negative side of it are the ones a step ahead. Always playing catch up, we play defense and they play offense. Trustee Pinou and resident cybersecurity expert jumped in to add, “The best approach to security is a multi-layer approach. There is no silver bullet. Every organization is playing catch up and anyone who tells you otherwise is not totally correct. So, a multi-layer, looking at logs, penetration testing,

updating policies and filters – there’s so many things that are done in the background. To say that nothing would happen to an organization is incorrect but we’re constantly adding to our arsenal to protect ourselves. It’s the honest answer. We will keep looking at ways we can improve constantly.” Griffin also commented on the ARPA discussion. “Within the ARPA framework, there is discussion of evidence based strategies to support socio-emotional and mental health initiatives. This is part comment and question. Today, for the first time I looked at other school districts where info is more prominently displayed. It’s hard for it to be impactful when you don’t even know what services are available. I’ve been to these meetings and paying attention, but was not aware today until looking at other districts communications. I think that got lost in the shuffle here and we need to think about that for those who want and need to use it.” Dr Sinha explained that funds from the local budget were used to increase support for children by adding not just Northwell services but a social worker and two psychologists, along with a K-12 guidance plan that you will see more focused in terms of consistency in our approach to socio-emotional wellness. Ryan Mulrooney of Hampton Road was up next. ‘The enhancements that this technology plan can provide to a curriculum, that’s great and all, but it’s still my contention that these students are behind. The main focus should be how we use technology to teach these kids what they missed.” Another parent, Dennis Williams of Locust Street, requested training for

parents who don’t have experience using newer educational platforms. Mary Timmons of Linden Street, a 30 year resident of GC, then shared, “I’m here today because I want to expose to the Board the tapes of the Committee on Special Education (CSE). I want you to hear the torture the parents are being put through in 2022. To see family members and other residents going through it is horrific. I think you need to listen to it and feel the chill in your spine. Strip a child of speech help when you’re getting 100K for kids and strip a kid who can’t articulate well and causes them emotional issues, do you want that for your children? I am here to request you to listen to some of these audio tapes

and that you go backwards and look at those students who have been stripped of their ability to speak in the future at five years old. It’s painful to see that this is happening in the Garden City School District. I applaud what you’re doing. I know it’s hard work, but there will be socio-emotional damage if nothing is done.” Many parents and Board members alike expressed concern over the virtual i-Ready summer program, advocating for the effectiveness of in-person learning. The next Board of Education meeting will be held next Tuesday, June 14 at 8:15 at the Garden City High School.

Additional work needed to stabilize St. Paul’s roof

Friday, June 10, 2022 The Garden City News

THE OFFICE CAT

THE MAYOR’S UPDATE cveneziale@gardencityny.net From page 24 including child safety seat laws. The goal of Garden City Police Department’s Occupant Restraint Enforcement Program was to reduce personal injuries and fatalities due to automobile crashes through education and enforcement. Commissioner Kenneth Jackson said the Department’s participation in this effort was made possible through funding received from the GTSC, with assistance from the New York State Association of Chiefs of Police and the Nassau County Traffic Safety Board.

Water Tank

The filling of the water tank is continuing but we are maintaining a steady, moderate rate to avoid creating brown/rusty water and also to maintain system pressure. The addition of the Wells coming on line (Wells 7 and 10 are back on line and it is anticipated Well 11 will be back on line next week) allows us to keep the water flowing to the overhead tank without interruption, rather than being

diverted to the ground storage tanks that are needsed for supply each day.

St. Paul’s Roof Work: More Damage Discovered

The Board of Trustees has approved a $149,640 change order for the St. Paul’s Roof Replacement Emergency Project for additional damaged roof areas not figured into the original scope of work. These areas were discovered when the contractor began making repairs. It was determined these additional repairs needed to be addressed at this time. Giuseppe Giovanniello, while inspecting the contractor’s work while on a boom lift, determined it was in the best interest of the Village to perform this work. The Board already approved $321,400 on March 24, 2022. FEMA notified the Village that the deadline to finish the repairs and seek reimbursement has been extended. The total amount earmarked for the repairs is now $471,040. The Village potentially stands to

receive 75 percent reimbursement of the total repair costs, or $353,280. This work needs to be completed no matter what the building eventually gets used for.

Pool Opening June 11th

IN MEMORIAM

Friday, June 10, 2022 The Garden City News

GCJC Religious School finishes year with fun and games On Sunday May 22, the students and staff of the Garden City Jewish Center Religious School celebrated their final session of the year with their annual Lag B ‘Omer game day. Lag B ‘Omer is about three quarters of the way between the two festival holidays of Passover and Shavuot, and traditionally celebrates scholars with picnics and studies. The first contest was “Name that Tune” conducted by Cantor Rachel Weston, in which the children identified prayers and songs that they had learned during children’s services throughout the year. The next quiz was Rabbi Stephen Goodman testing their knowledge of Jewish history, holidays, and culture. Finally, Mrs. Andrea Krupen conducted a Wordle-like game to test their Hebrew skills. Mrs. Cheryl Minsky and Ms.Carolyn Hoera were the judges and scorekeepers. Blessed with beautiful but hot weather, the final activities were the outside games, relay races, ice pops and bubbles. The culmination was the annual egg toss, which as always, is a huge funny mess. The students, parents, and their volunteer teachers, were very happy with this past school year. Multi-access (in-person and Zoom) classes started in September, with a “Zoom only” period during the bad

Best Part of Prague Castle? The Tiny Houses BY KAREN RUBIN TRAVEL FEATURES SYNDICATE GOINGPLACESFARANDNEAR.COM For my second full day in Prague, I head out to what is appropriately its most important attraction, the Prague Castle. I walk over the Charles Bridge (Karlov Most), which was built by Charles IV, in 1357, and then up, up, and up (you can take a tram) to the castle gate. I flash my Prague Cool Pass app on my phone at the ticket window and get a ticket that you present at for entry to each of the various attractions within the castle complex, which dates back to the 9th century. I am so happy to have the time to just wander and read the various notes that are provided (I opt out of renting the audio tour), and will return the next day with a guide from the CroisiEurope Elbe Princess who will point out the details that I have missed in the famed St. Vitus Cathedral, Royal Palace and Basilica of St George (I note the relief outside of St. George slaying the dragon, symbolic of the Church defeating paganism). (Some of the Castle sites were closed, including the Rosenberg Palace). The Castle is a vast complex and today is the seat of the Czech Republic’s government (a flag is raised when the president is in). A few tidbits: Cathedral St. Vitus was built between 1344 and not finished until 1929. Half of the Cathedral is “new”. The two original architects are buried within the Cathedral, and in the most elaborate tomb of all is Charles IV, himself, who did so much to build the “New Town” of Prague, the cathedral, and the university. The Bohemian Crown jewels are kept within a hidden room

School kids delight at the fairytale-like tiny house within Prague Castle. Next on their itinerary: the torture chamber of Dalibor Tower ©Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com inside, and seven keys – each one held by a different official – are needed to open it. In a small chapel, I note actual skeleton remains peeking out through a window. There are horrific stories, too. Ludmilla, with her husband sought to convert the country to Christianity, was killed assassins hired by her daughter-in-law, Drahomira of Stodor, who was jealous of Ludmila’s influence over Wenceslaus (her son and Ludmilla’s grandson). Soon after Ludmilla was canonized. Wenceslaus (widely referred to as Good King Wenceslaus) was killed by his brother around 935 and also was made a saint. It’s interesting who becomes a saint. An extremely popular saint, prominent in the cathedral, is St. John of Nepomuk, the court priest of King Wenceslas IV. Legend has it that he was killed by request of the king, because he refused to tell the king about the queen’s confession,

and his body thrown off the Charles Bridge. When you go to the Charles Bridge, you can see the statue (one of 30 that line the bridge) depicting this story, where the tradition is to touch his image in order to return to Prague, and walk a few steps to the place where his body was thrown into the water, in 1383. In the Royal Palace, we go into a gigantic hall, that dates from 1492, where jousts (on horseback) were held. It is an architectural achievement because it was built without supports for the ceiling. We learn that Empress Maria Theresa, who brought compulsory education to Europe and was responsible for a major rebuilding of the castle, was the mother of 16 including Joseph II who ruled from 1780-90 and freed the serfs; his sister was Marie Antoinette who lost her head in the French Revolution. There is a portrait of Joseph II in a ceremonial room where there are

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

replicas of the crown and septre that are hidden away. The best part is going into the room that was the scene of the “Defenestration of Prague,” a key event in European history. In 1618, the Protestant rebels threw two Catholic Imperial Ministers and their secretary out of these windows. Surviving the fall (they fell on a pile of refuse in the moat), they took refuge in the adjoining Lobkowicz Palace where they were protected by Polyxena. (The scene is immortalized in a painting which you can view in the palace.) The Defenestration of Prague signaled the beginning of a Bohemian revolt against the Habsburg emperor Ferdinand II, leading to the Thirty Years’ War. But I am grateful for having the time to really linger on the Golden Lane, my favorite part of the castle – there is simply so much to see. This, I grin to myself, is where the “tiny house” trend was born. Golden Lane has a marvelous history. It’s an irregular strip of land, varying in width from 4-8 meters between the older (12th C) Romanesque walls and the later (15th C) walls that form the outer north fortification of Prague Castle on the edge of a natural ravine, the Stag Moat. Three defensive towers are attached to the castle wall (up to 320 cm thick): Powder Tower on the west, Dalibor Tower on the east and between them, White Tower. And between Dalibor and White towers, 12 vaults, each 720 cm deep and 600660cm wide, were used as makeshift dwellings. The oldest written reports are from 1560s when the lane was called Goldsmith’s Lane – its residents Continued on next page

Best Part of Prague Castle? The Tiny Houses Continued from previous page were probably “lesser” goldsmiths who had fled the strictly enforced guild laws in Prague’s three towns of Old Town, New Town and Lesser Town. We get to see one of these tiny houses, Number 15, as it would have been when the Goldsmith occupied it (there is a bird cage to alert the goldsmith when there were toxic fumes). In 1597, artillerymen at the gates asked Emperor Rudolf II for permission to build little rooms within the newly repaired walls. The Red Artillerymen (named for their uniform) had to build their dwellings at their own expense, and bought and sold them. We get to see one of the houses, Number 13, that would have been inhabited by a Red Artilleryman. Not long after, little houses began to expand into the lane with the addition and fireplaces; new additions made. Hardly idyllic, conditions for basic hygiene remained backward. In the 18th century, there was only one privy for all the houses, a second one was only installed in the 19th century. Water pipes were laid in 1877, but it wasn’t until 1942 that the house at Number 24 had running water. In 1953, the office of Czech president (which is within the Castle complex) expropriated the little houses from their owners. The lane was restored in 1955. Right up to the departure of the last tenant, in 1952, the Golden Lane

community was very colorful. At first, it consisted of Castle employees – gatekeepers, guards, bellringers – and later, people who rented, many who appreciated this place as a source of inspiration. When you see groups of tiny children coming through, you realize what a fantasy place this is – they stop in front of one that seems out of a fairytale. Several names in the land records that have been preserved are notable: No 22 was the home of Franz Kafka in 1916 and 1917, who rented it from his sister. It was here that he wrote “The Country Doctor.” (The house is now a bookshop with Kafka’s books prominently featured; several other tiny houses have been turned into marvelous shops.) House No 12 was in the late 1930s the temporary home of the dramatist and writer of prose fiction Jiri Maranek. No 14 still has an old sign with playing cards, an owl and a crystal ball. For years this was the home of the renowned Prague tarot-card reader and clairvoyant Madame de Thebes. Before the Second World War, Matylda Prusova (her real name), the widow of a phamarcist, drew attention from afar with her black clothing and old-fashioned hat adorned with ostrich feathers. Since 1914, she had waited in vain for the return of her son who was killed in the first World War. Clients came daily to her cozy room, stuffed with

bizarre objects, to have her look into their future. Because of her frequent predictions about an early end to the war and the fall of the Third Reich, she was arrested by the Gestapo and tortured to death. No 24 was the House of Mrs. Magdalena. By the early 20th c, Golden Lane was already famous and she charged the growing number of tourists and history lovers to see her tiny house. Other enterprising owners rented to artists, writers looking for inspiration. Number 27 was the Herbalist’s house. This essential skill of treating wounds, curing diseases, and easing suffering was always managed by one of the servants of the Castle, the notes say. Folk healers and herbalists often had enough experience to carry a certificate stating that someone was successfully cured by them. Herbalists used herbs and botanical extracts but also magic and incantation. The herbalist’s household resembled an apothecary – bottles, jugs, boxes containing nectars from plants, purgative and tonic opiates, powders for curing teeth, throat and roundworm, plasters, seeds and sugar coated flowers. A trunk or cupboard would contain snail shells, human craniums, pig’s teeth, bones from the sea spider (octopus) and dried frogs. Ceramic jars had lards from dog, human, tom cat, stork, rabbit, bear and snake. It’s especially fun to wander through

the house of a film critic – seeing the old movie posters, the clutter of cans of film, the movie projectors, as if he recently left. I climb a narrow, spiral staircase to an upper floor where there is an astonishing exhibit of arms and armor (really intimidating helmets). And in the Dalibor Tower, a prison from 1496 to 1781, there is a horrifying display of implements of torture. You realize that those movies depicting Dark Ages brutality were not fiction or fantasy. You can see the rack, a skeleton hung in a cage, the “Spanish boot” I find the place extremely disturbing (a skeleton is in a cage dangling from the ceiling as you walk down the stone stairs), but a group of school kids seem enthralled. When I come out from Golden Lane, I look across to see the Lobkowicz Palace and realize it is included on the Prague Cool Pass (praguecoolpass. com). This turns out to be the absolute highlight for me in Prague. The Palace, itself, is fabulous, owned by a noble family that was once one of the richest in the land. The collection inside is breathtaking. And the family’s story is utterly fascinating. ________________________________ © 2022 Travel Features Syndicate, a division of Workstyles, Inc.

Lowering Your Blood Pressure BY CHARLYN FARGO

A few healthy lifestyle changes can make a big difference in your blood pressure numbers, according to a study of 14,000 Chinese individuals. Researchers followed the individuals for up to 10 years and found that those who made healthy changes in their lifestyle had a significantly lower risk of death. Just what are those healthy lifestyle factors to adopt? Being at the right weight, not smoking, eating a healthy diet, working out daily and getting enough sleep. Participants who were overweight, smoked, had poor dietary habits, were sedentary and had poor sleep habits didn’t see a reduction in mortality rates even if they were taking blood pressure medication. Those who took blood pressure medication and improved their lifestyle had the lowest risk of death from any cause, including heart attack, stroke and cancer. To make a difference, the researchers found you need at least 150 minutes

of physical activity a week (30 minutes per weekday), 7 to 9 hours of sleep a night and to eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein and lean dairy. That’s the same findings that a study by the National Institutes of Health’s National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute found earlier. Researchers studied 810 men and women with mild hypertension or prehypertension who were not taking medication to control their blood pressure. Participants were divided into three groups -- two behavioral intervention groups counseled and given goals for weight loss, physical activity and sodium and alcohol intake. One of those groups also received guidance on the DASH diet, an eating plan boosting fruits and vegetables and limiting salt. The third was a control group. Goals included a 15-pound weight loss, 3 hours per week of moderate physical activity, daily sodium intakes of no more than 2,300 milligrams and limits of one alcoholic drink per day for women

and two per day for men. Those following the DASH diet aimed to eat 9-12 servings of fruits and vegetables per day and 2-3 servings of low-fat dairy products and to keep their total fat to no more than 25% of total daily calories. To keep track, participants kept food diaries, counted calories and sodium intakes and recorded their physical activity. Both behavioral intervention groups significantly reduced their weight, fat intake and sodium intake. And the DASH group increased their fruit, vegetable, dairy, fiber and mineral intakes. The results of this study were published in the Annals of Internal Medicine. While about 37% of the participants had high blood pressure at the study’s start, by the end that fell to 32% in the control group, 24% in the intervention group without DASH and 22% in the group following DASH. The bottom line? Your lifestyle matters when it comes to controlling your blood pressure. Eat healthy, exercise regularly.

A Family Party and the Bears BY CLAIRE LYNCH With five brothers and sisters I come from a large family and with several cousins and their spouses, I come from a very large extended family. We were all excited about getting together two years ago but the pandemic arrived so of course we had to delay our little party. When our plan to meet last month actually came together, I know I can say that we were simultaneously pleased and relieved. Nothing got in the way at all! At first we wanted to meet in Manhattan but after figuring out who could come and who couldn’t, we chose a restaurant in White Plains. It was convenient for the Long Island people, the New Jerseyites, the Westchester people and two of our relatives were driving down from Danbury. Since I knew everyone attending was vaccinated and boosted, we had a good chance at having a party that would be happy and healthy. My cousin, Erin, and her husband, Jake, made it from Danbury and we were especially glad about that because we hadn’t seen them for four years. The restaurant was a bustling place but we had our reservation for a Saturday night at 6 pm for 18 people and I have to say that people were prompt. The food was good and so was the company. My brother, Phil, told us he’d recently taken up woodworking and my cousin, Marie, caught us up on the latest baby news. Her daughter, Susie, had a baby in 2021 and even though we saw postings of her new grandson on social media, hearing all of the details was even better. Over dessert - some nice baklava and large mugs of coffee - Erin nudged Jake and told him to tell us about their back yard bird feeder escapade. As he hesitated, we all wondered what had transpired. They live in a rural part of Connecticut and we’d known for years that they like growing their own vegetables, placing beds of flowers in the soil, having animals roam their land, etc. My sister, Susan, said she didn’t want to hear anything too far out there

and Jake said no, it was just that they’d had an incident recently in their back yard that reminded them of how nature and wildlife can be. As we all enjoyed our desserts and sat back, relaxing, to hear his story, Jake relayed how one morning he let his dog, Daisy, out in the back yard and she immediately started growling and barking. Unsure of what was going on, he told Erin he’d better take a look. Stepping outside, he spotted the carnage in their back yard. They’d had a close encounter with a beary interesting visitor overnight - most likely with a black bear. That bear had toppled the tall bird feeder and rummaged through it eating any seeds he could gather as well as the cake of suet. Jake said he was reminded that spring was here which meant that hibernation was over for the black bears. He spread the word, telling as many neighbors as he could about what had happened so they could remove their bird feeders. He added, “The black bears have been rampaging through the backyards of our neighbors for a few weeks now. They live next to the woods but I thought our area was different - I thought that we were safe from these critters but obviously that’s not the case. The good news is the bear damaged only the top part of the bird feeder which I was able to replace from one of the spare parts I keep in the garage.” Don, who knows a thing or two about wildlife, said to be careful because once they’ve found food, bears will return to the same place for more food. Erin and Jake looked seriously at Don then at each other because they knew what bears could do. Don said the county recommends people remove bird feeders from March through November specifically for that reason - black bears are on the prowl. Erin said, “We love showing our kids and grandchildren all the different types of birds that land on the bird feeder and eat some food and the kids get so excited seeing robins, bluebirds, cardinals, blue jays and more. It gets to be a veritable panoply of birds.”

Susan laughed because now Erin was using some big words. Agreeing that bird watching was a more interesting subject to talk about, Susan said she felt bad that Daisy had found the toppled bird feeder in the back yard when she went outside that morning. The others laughed at how she put it and after my cousin, Rick, remarked that the way this crowd was talking, they all sounded like they were members of the National Audubon Society. Or Erin sounded that way - was she keeping a list of all the types of birds and when they showed up looking to eat some bird food? People laughed but I figured it was time to change the subject to high school reunions. I have a major milestone high school reunion in 2023 and I knew that Patsy, my cousin who’s a year older, has a reunion this year. Several

of us had graduated from St. Agnes Cathedral High School in Rockville Centre and some were regular reunion attendees. Others skipped them feeling that they preferred to spend their summer days and nights taking a cruise to the Caribbean or going on some type of interesting vacation. People were pretty vocal about their thoughts regarding reunions - either being for them or against. Satisfied with seeing each other and having a good meal we said our goodbyes, got in our cars and headed home. The next day we were surprised to see Jake had posted some unique photos on social media. He titled his entry, “They’re back!” and sure enough the three different photos he posted were of footprints in the dirt. The bears had returned!

Earnings After Retirement May or May Not Increase Your Social Security Check BY TOM MARGENAU Q: I am 73 and still working part time. I took my Social Security at age 66. I have never seen an increase in my Social Security check, even though I am still paying into the system. What’s up? A: To understand whether the earnings you have, and the taxes you pay, after you start getting Social Security will increase your benefits, you have to understand how Social Security retirement benefits are figured in the first place. Simply stated, your Social Security retirement benefit is based on your average monthly income, indexed for inflation, using a 35-year base of earnings. So, when you initially filed for benefits, the Social Security Administration looked at your entire earnings history. Then they adjusted each year of earnings for inflation. The inflation adjustment factor depends on your year of birth and varies from one year to the next. Here is just one example. I’m guessing you were born in 1949. And let’s say that you made $7,000 in 1970. When figuring your Social Security benefit, the SSA multiplied that $7,000 by an inflation adjustment factor of 6.58. In other words, instead of $7,000, they actually used $46,060 as your 1970 earnings when figuring your Social Security benefit. (There are different inflation factors for each year of earnings.) After the SSA indexes each year of earnings for inflation, they pull out your highest 35 years and add them up. Then they divide the total by 420 -- that’s the number of months in 35 years -- to get your average monthly inflation-adjusted income. Your Social Security benefit is a percentage of that amount. The percentage used depends on a variety of factors too complex to explain here. But for the purposes of this column, we don’t need to know the precise percentage. Suffice it to say that for most people, their Social Security retirement benefit represents roughly 40% of their average inflation-adjusted monthly income. So, when you are working and paying Social Security taxes after you start receiving Social Security benefits, those additional taxes you are paying will increase your monthly Social Security check IF your current earnings increase your average monthly income. In other words, if your current annual income is higher than the lowest inflation-adjusted year of earnings used in your most recent Social Security computation, the SSA will drop out that low year, add in the new higher year, recalculate your average monthly income, and then refigure your Social Security benefit. Here is a quick example of what I mean. Let’s say that the $7,000 you made in 1970 was the lowest year in your

current Social Security computation. And let’s further say that you made $35,000 last year. You might assume that because $35,000 is much higher than $7,000, you should get an increase in your Social Security checks. But remember, the SSA didn’t use $7,000 in your benefit calculation. They used the inflation-adjusted amount of $46,060. Because your current earnings of $35,000 are lower than the low year of $46,060 used in your Social Security retirement computation, the additional earnings do NOT increase your average monthly income, so your Social Security benefit will not go up. On the other hand, had your current earnings been $70,000, for example, that would increase your benefit. The SSA would replace this low year of $46,060 with the new higher year of $70,000, recompute your average monthly wage and refigure your benefit. Now let’s say you are in a situation like that. You’re working and you’ve had a good year of earnings and you are pretty sure it should increase your Social Security check. So, what do you have to do to make that happen? The answer is: nothing. The SSA has a software program that automatically tracks the earnings of working Social Security beneficiaries and refigures their benefits to see if any increase is due. It generally happens between May and October of each year. In other words, if you are getting Social Security benefits, and if you are working, and if your latest earnings increase your average monthly wage and thus your Social Security benefit, you generally will see that increase by October of the following year. For example, you would get an increase for your 2021 earnings by October 2022. The SSA sends you a notice indicating the increase in your monthly benefit, which is retroactive to January of the year you get the notice. If you don’t get an increase, that means your earnings were simply not high enough to raise your average monthly income and thus your Social Security benefit. Q: I am 68 years old. I get a widow’s benefit from Social Security that is about $2,400 per month. I was a stay-at-home wife and mother most of my adult life, so I don’t have my own Social Security. But now I am working trying to build up my own Social Security so I can get those extra benefits. Do you think this is a good idea? A: If the only reason you are working is to build up your own Social Security account, then you should quit your job tomorrow. Your own Social Security retirement benefit will never reach the point where it surpasses the widow’s benefits you are already getting. Or to put that another way, when you are due

two benefits, you don’t get them both. You only get the one that pays the higher rate. And again, your widow’s benefit will always pay more than your own retirement benefit ever would. But if you are working because you need the extra income you are bringing in, or because you like your job, then of course, stick with it. Just realize that you never will see any increase in your Social Security check because of the

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

Traits one should look for when hiring a Broker BY PHILIP A. RAICES

t never ceases to amaze me how a seller, investor, purchaser, a tenant or lessee of residential of commercial properties goes about finding, interviewing and hiring a broker to assist them in whatever they are trying to accomplish in the field of real estate. A majority of individuals and families receive referrals from their family, friends or business associates who had positive experiences with their broker in their current or past transactions. There is a trust factor evolves and a strong relationship that has been created through a successful process, leading to a positive outcome. However, more and more a large percentage of people who are new to the real estate market are searching online for a Broker. They are reading what current and former clients are saying about their experiences with their brokers before, during and after the sale. The internet has become a fabulous source and an advantage for the consumer and has “leveled the playing field” as a way for the them to connect with the most qualified, knowledgeable and professional brokers. Those that have positive reviews and testimonials, on average will always provide outstanding service that sellers, investors and purchasers and even tenants need and want. More important, those with a, G.R.I. (Graduate of the Realtor Institute), C.I.P.S. (Certified International Property Specialist), and the N.A.R. Green designations have a tremendous advantage as hundreds of hours of advance training above a typical agent and/or Broker’s licensing in listening, negotiating, financing, marketing, advertising, legal matters, fair housing, and ethics, etc. Dealing with and knowing the customs of a multitude of various cultures is important

in developing that initial spark and rapport leading to long term relationships. Qualifying, assisting and careful guiding consumers through today’s complicated and sometimes challenging process with care, concern and kid gloves to purchase a home as opposed to renting will enable them to gain their most valuable asset that they will possess in their lifetimes. Owning a home is generally the safest and most prudent and rewarding way to build long term wealth, while building roots in the community and lifetime friends and relationships. In the long run it creates increased wealth better than any other investment in a somewhat passive way, as long as the property is maintained and improved over time. Communication and follow up are other attributes that the consumer looks for and needs to have in order for their transaction to be smooth and as seamless as possible. Being able to earn referrals in the future is directly related to how often the broker stays in touch with their previous clients. Zillow and other services had done some studies over the years and determined 40+% of agents and brokers never follow up with past clients who either bought a home or even rented. This is unfortunate as a major part of one’s future income can be attributed to referrals as long as one stays in touch with their past clients using a CRM (customer relationship management), program or at least in a file that every 3-6 months or less to make at least a basic call to touch base with your current and/or past client base.

Also a video text, Facebook, Instagram or TikTok message to reach out to those current and past clientele, so you will be remembered when it comes to recommending a broker and that you will be first in their mindset. Repetition is a very important facet of staying in touch and one must make it an integral and consistent and regular part of your business, so your future business will flourish with referrals. When searching online you can find reviews on Google, Zillow and Yelp to read what current and past clients feel about their experience with their brokers. It is a tell tale sign that what they say with positive comments will be related to the number of stars that Google rewards those brokers. There will be a correlation between how you are ranked and the number of calls one will receive in the future. I have personally found that the greater the number of positive reviews and testimonials, the more business we do and our earnings have increased year over year. Making sure that the person (not the company) you hire is the “cream of the crop” and has all the attributes of a “top notch” broker, who has all the experience, credibility and transparency that you will need to help you sell, invest, purchase or rent any type of residential or commercial property.

Lowering Your Blood Pressure Continued from page 2 used as a sugar substitute. Erythritol is found naturally in some foods. It’s also made when foods like wine, beer and cheese ferment. Besides its natural form, erythritol has also been a man-made sweetener since 1990. It’s also sold in bulk to companies that use it to sweeten or thicken products like reduced-calorie and sugar-free foods and drinks. You’ll often find it mixed with popular sugar substitutes like aspartame and stevia to make them sweeter. Researchers have done several studies of erythritol in animals and humans. The World Health Organization approved erythritol in 1999

and the Food and Drug Administration did the same in 2001. Both declared it safe. Erythritol doesn’t affect glucose or insulin levels and is used as a safe sugar substitute for those with diabetes. Foods that contain erythritol may still contain varying amounts of carbohydrates, calories and fat, so it’s important to check the label. You can use erythritol the same way as sugar.

RECIPE

I seriously miss Cooking Light and Eating Well magazines, which are no longer being published. Fortunately, their recipes are still online. Here’s a perfect side dish for the Memorial Day weekend from Eating Well online.

LOADED BROCCOLI SALAD Servings: 6 3 slices bacon 1/4 cup light sour cream 1/4 cup light mayonnaise 4 teaspoons rice vinegar or cider vinegar 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper 4 cups finely chopped broccoli florets (11 ounces) 1/2 cup sliced scallions 1/2 cup shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Reserve 1 tablespoon bacon fat. Chop the bacon when cool enough to handle.

Whisk sour cream, mayonnaise, vinegar, pepper and the reserved bacon fat together in a large bowl. Add broccoli, scallions, cheese and the chopped bacon. Stir to coat with dressing. Serves 6 (serving size: 3/4 cup) Per serving: 191 calories; 6 grams protein; 4 grams carbohydrates; 14 grams fat (6 grams saturated); 27 milligrams cholesterol; 1 gram fiber; 1 gram sugar; 229 milligrams sodium.

Measure the Moon’s Movement BY DENNIS MAMMANA Week of June 5-11, 2022 Gertrude Stein had the right idea when she penned the words “a rose is a rose is a rose” because its meaning applies to so much in life, including stargazing. For instance, when astronomers measure the cosmos, we do so in degrees. These are not temperature degrees, but angular degrees. I first came to know these units of measurement in 1966. There I sat in Mrs. Moyer’s 10th-grade geometry class daydreaming, looking out the window and pondering everything except acute angles, circles and, yes, degrees. “After all,” I reasoned, “what use is knowing that a circle can be broken into 360 equal parts, each one degree wide? I’ve got better things to think about!” The irony is that out that very window existed circles that I would use every day (and night) of my professional life. We can’t see them, of course, but the heavens contain many “great circles”, as we call them, that help us define the position and movement of all celestial bodies. The easiest to imagine is the one we know as the horizon. Face due north and keep your eye on the horizon as you turn eastward. When you again face due north again, you will have rotated 360

degrees. Three hundred and sixty degrees... so, just what does that mean? One degree along this circle equals approximately the width of your little finger held at arm’s length. Yes, I know my little finger is fatter than yours, but my arm is probably longer too, so it’s farther from my eyes. In other words, a degree is a degree is a degree. You can use your thumb, too; at arm’s length it appears about two degrees wide, and your fist from thumb to little finger spans about 10 degrees. The position of an object along the horizon is called its azimuth, and it’s always measured eastward from true north. So, for example, something that lies due east is said to have an azimuth of “90 degrees east of north”. And something in the north-northwest might have an azimuth of “315 degrees east of north”. Seems odd, I know, but that’s the way it’s done. Another such circle is traced by the moon in its journey around the Earth. Since the moon makes one complete circuit eastward around the Earth every month (approximately 30 days), the moon must change its position nightly by about 12 degrees. Check it out tonight. Notice which stars the moon is near, and tomorrow at the same time, check it out again. You’ll

find that it has moved about 12 degrees eastward. Now you can use your fist and fingers to estimate the moon’s position on each successive night. Many great circles exist in the heavens -- the meridian, the celestial equator and more -- and these help astronomers grasp the layout and movement of our starry night sky. I’m sure my poor geometry teacher had a rough time reaching me, but

she never gave up, and soon I became fascinated by how we can measure the universe with geometrical figures and angles, and how important it all is to astronomers. And for that gift, Mrs. Moyer, I thank you... beyond all measure! Visit Dennis Mammana at dennismammana.com. . COPYRIGHT 2022 CREATORS.COM

Happy Wife, Happy Life BY TRACY BECKERMAN Back in the day, when I had little kids and a dog at home, the kitchen was like a magnet for everyone in my house to stand, sit or lay down in my way. I like to think that I was just so popular in my family that no one could stand to be away from me for more than five minutes. But the truth was, they were all just hungry and thought that maybe if they hovered around me in the kitchen, or directly in front of me, it would make me cook dinner faster. Of course, the exact opposite was true since every drawer, cabinet and cooktop would be body-blocked by some member of the family who I would have to jump over, spin around or hurl out of my way to get the job done. Not that I’ve ever hurled anyone. On purpose, I mean. Now that the kids had moved out and the dog was gone, the hover torch seemed to have been passed to my

husband who, somehow, took up more space in the kitchen than all the rest of the family members combined. It was like some kind of universal law of expansion: 1x husband = 10x gets in my way. “Do you need something?” I asked my husband; I was trying to make dinner and he was standing directly in front of the drawer with the pots and pans. “No,” he said. “Well, then, could you move because I need to get a pan out of that drawer?” I replied. “Oh, sure,” he said, scooting across the kitchen so that he was standing in front of the drawer with the cooking utensils. I sighed. “Honey, I need to get a whisk out of that drawer.” “Oh, sorry,” he said, moving to his left so he now stood directly in front of the stove top where I had just put the pan and where I needed to stand to start

cooking. I shook my head. It was like a game of Whack-A-Mole. “No problem,” he said and shifted to his right. I rolled my eyes. “Can I ask you a favor?” I finally said. “Sure!” “CAN YOU GET THE HECK OUT OF THE KITCHEN?” He looked at me morosely. “But I’m hungry.” I thought for a moment. This was not something they had covered in Marriage 101. How could I get dinner cooked and get my husband out of the way at the same time? And then I had an epiphany. There was, in fact, a simple solution to this problem. “You know what?” I said excitedly. “I have a great idea. I was going to roast this chicken. But why don’t you cook it on the grill instead? It’s all prepped and ready to go!”

June 10, 2022 Discovery

S T A R G A Z E R S

I saw my husband transform instantly from He-Who-Gets-In-My-Way to He-Who-Rules-The-Grill-Universe. He grabbed his titanium grill tool case and then whisked the chicken from my arms and in the flash of an eye, he disappeared from my kitchen. Proudly I leaned against the fridge and surveyed my empty kitchen, But I had barely enjoyed a moment of silence when my husband returned. “What’s up?” I asked. “I need some more barbecue sauce.” he said. “Okay,” I nodded. He stared at me. “What?” I wondered. He pointed to the fridge. “You’re in my way.” Tracy Beckerman is the author of the Amazon Bestseller, “Barking at the Moon: A Story of Life, Love, and Kibble,” available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble online!

The GC 12U program split into two equal size teams Spring 2022, named Grey and Maroon. They are 13 wins-3 losses, combined, against all the neighboring towns (our district) and are winning with exceptional pitching from Angelina Trimarchi, Hailey Karol, Bella Albano and Cameron Quinlan. Naya Lele, Sierra Cabral and Dana Sievers also have contributed rounding out a strong pitching effort. Margot Hearon and Laila Rajpal have delivered extraordinary play behind the plate along with strong defense from Melina Mirabella and offense from Caroline Webber, Charlotte Kenny, and Annabeth

Anci, Ruby Murphy and Maize McGinley. Courtney Fox, Jennifer Lee, Sona Arora and Annmarie Mccarthy have contributed overall for both teams in a terrific all around season. Good luck in Districts!

Bandits for the win!

The Garden City Bandits took home the Long Island Hot Stove 8U Union League Spring Training Championship on Sunday, June 5, beating the previously undefeated Levittown Northstars in a grueling matchup at Abe Levitt Field. The Bandits started their playoff run on Saturday June 4, against the Roslyn Bulldogs, a team they had lost to in their last regular season game. GC defeated the Bulldogs 8-6 thanks to solid pitching from JJ Benik who went 3 innings allowing no hits and striking out eight. The Bandits’ potent offense racked up 8 runs on 9 hits thanks to the work of Henry Tricarico, James Deierlein and Grayson Pepicelli each collect-

GC Bandits pulled away for good as their bats heated up with 5 runs in the third inning after an RBI single by Charlie Fuschillo and singles by JJ Benik and Luke Pellicone each scored 2 runs, and hits by Tyler Butvik, Henry Tricarico and Grayson Pepicelli kept the momentum going. The Bandits continued to apply pressure on the Northstars with solid at bats by Jackson Mijares, JP Leggett and Jack Mooney. Grayson Pepicelli got the start on the mound for the Bandits and put up a stellar performance striking out six batters over four and two-thirds innings, frustrating a high powered Levittown offense. Fuschillo worked a key strikeout to end the fifth, and

ing 2 hits, and Benik, Tyler Butvik and JP Leggett each contributing big hits during the game. Luke Pellicone, Michael Cardi, Aiden Campon and Will Capparelli worked key walks to aid GC in their win. Luke Pellicone, Charlie Fuschillo and Pepicelli also contributed to the pitching efforts assisted by catcher Jackson Mijares, with notable fielding by Deirlein and Jack Mooney. The victory against Roslyn earned the Bandits a spot on Sunday versus Levittown. The championship game featured a strong start by Levittown, tallying 3 runs in the first inning. However, GC punched back in the second with a hit from Michael Cardi and an RBI single from Will Capparelli. The

Benik came in under pressure to close out the last inning. GC was sure-handed in the field with big catches by Pellicone and Cardi in the outfield and Aiden Campon and Butvik rounding out the defense. Mooney made a highlight defensive play at first base, saving two runs in the bottom of the sixth inning and Jackson Mijares was a rock behind the plate, catching all 12 innings of the team’s playoff run. A big thanks to coaches Chris Fuschillo, John Benik, Angelo Pellicone and Phil Mijares for leading the team to victory in their inaugural travel baseball season.

With returning players Gabe Beschloss, Gabriel Elmokian, Matthew Tusiani-Eng, Jack Fanning, Peter Halloran(C), Patrick Heber(C), Francesco Ingrassia(C),TJ Krieg, Richie Longo and Joey Wood (C) from last year’s Long Island Championship team and new players Kevin Blum, Evan Cabral, Ben Cicione, Joshua Cohen, Brendan Griffin, Matthew Guida, Kyle Ippolito, Brady Karol, Matthew Liberopoulos, Derek Santeramo, Braden Soutar and Aidan Walsh, Garden City had high hopes. The 2022 season was back to normal. It was made up of 3 game series against Mepham, Great Neck South, Great Neck North, New Hyde Park, Long Beach and MacArthur First up was Mepham, and it was not baseball weather with temperatures in the low 50s. Garden City won 2 out of the 3 games. Excellent pitching by Patrick Heber, Matthew Liberopoulos, and Braden Soutar, helped GC’s efforts in game one. On the offense side of the house runs were scored by Richie Longo (1) and Peter Halloran (2) on RBI’s by Patrick Heber, Francesco Ingrassia and Jack Fanning. In game two, a three run home run by Matthew Guida was the difference maker. Matthew TusianiEng and Brady Karol both pitched 3 innings with Karol getting the win. Even though GC lost the 3rd game, they saw good pitching from Evan Cabral, Joshua Cohen, Kyle Ippolito and hits by Jack Fanning, Peter Halloran, Gabriel Elmokian, Ben Cicione, and Kevin Blum. Next up was Great Neck South. In game one, Patrick Heber earned the win and also hit a home run. Matthew Liberopoulos’ four RBI’s put the game out of reach for GNS. In game two, Francesco Ingrassia

also drove in four runs and Matthew Tusiani-Eng earned the win. In game three, Evan Cabral the team’s only freshman took the mound and earned a win. Aidan Walsh showed off his speed legging out a triple in game three.

The mid-season slump

Due to Great Neck North forfeiting, Garden City had a week off. It was not what the Trojans needed going into a three game series against the always tough New Hyde Park Memorial team. Garden City lost all three games. All three games were very close and a winner was not determined till late in all three games. Richie Longo, Matthew Liberopoulos Patrick Heber and Peter Halloran each had multiple hit games. Patrick Heber had a season high 14 strikeouts in game one.

The start of six game win streak

From the first pitch of the first game against Long Beach, Garden City came out ready to put the three prior losses in the rear view mirror. Garden City Trojans racked up 12 hits in the first game to win 13 to 3. Heber, Liberopoulos, and Halloran all collect ed multiple hits for Garden City . Heber led Garden City with three hits in five at bats. Patrick Heber also pitched a complete game for the win. Game two was a hard fought 3-2 win with Richie Longo having two hits and two RBI’s. Braden Soutar’s walk-off was picture perfect ending victory over Long Beach. In game three Patrick Heber went 3-for-3 at the plate and Joshua Cohen pitched four innings for the win.

The Garden City High School Varsity Baseball team.

Three wins against the undefeated MacArthur Generals to end the regular season.

Garden City knew that the Generals were looking to close out the season undefeated. Patrick Heber pitched a complete game for the 7-4 win in game one. Garden City totaled 14 hits. Braden Soutar, Patrick Heber, Joey Wood, and Matthew Guida all managed multiple hits for Garden City. The bats came alive again in game 2, with the Trojans collecting 12 hits on the day. Joey Wood, Braden Soutar, Matthew Guida, and Patrick Heber each racked up multiple hits for Garden City Trojans. Joey Wood led Garden City Trojans with three hits in four at bats. Matthew Guida, Peter Halloran, TJ Krieg, Joey Wood drove in runs. In game 3, Braden Soutar had a strong day at the plate, hitting 3 hits and driving in 3 runs and Joshua Cohen pitched 5 and 2/3rds for the

win in the last game of the season. Unfortunately, Garden City could not keep the end of the season win streak going in the playoffs. With hard fought loses to Seaford and Island Trees, the season came to an end.

Year End Awards

All County - Pat Heber and Jack Fanning All Conference - Braden Soutar All League - Matt Guida and Matt Liberopoulos Coaches Dave Izzo and Ray Chaputian did a great job getting every player involved and contributing. With more than half the players being underclassmen this year, Garden City High School Baseball has a lot to look forward to next season. The team and coaches wish continued success to Patrick Hebe,r who will be continuing his baseball career at Bentley University, who plays Division II baseball in the Northeast-10 Conference.

GCHS Varsity Baseball finishes season with 14-6 record

Friday, June 10, 2022 The Garden City News

Girls Varsity Lacrosse suffers heartbreaking loss in 6th overtime

Pumped up and ready to play in the Long Island Class B Championship!

Pre-game tailgate with parents, siblings and fans!

Coming off of a heart-pounding Nassau County Championship win, the Garden City Girls Varsity Lacrosse was pumped to face the Westhampton Hurricanes in the Class B Long Island Championship on Sunday, June 5. After having won the Long Island Championships the year before and been deprived of the earned chance to compete at States due to COVID cancellations, the team was hungry for victory and a road trip to Cortland. Sadly, their dreams ended in heartbreak with a 6-5 loss in the sixth overtime of a hard-fought game. Garden City was first to put points on the board with a goal by junior Marie Cacciabaudo assisted by freshman Kyle Finnell. Westhampton answered a minute later to tie the game 1-1. Westhampton scored the next goal with about twelve minutes to go to take the lead 2-1. With three

The talented draw circle of sophomore Kendal Morris, junior Ariana Bransfield, freshman Tori Ottomanelli, and senior captain Caitlin McNaboe continued to hold control of possession as they had all season long. The overtime became a battle of will and endurance. The defensive unit consisting of senior Kasey Prybylski, junior Rory Heslin, sophomore Mabel Overbeck and sophomore Emily Romeo, which had been up to the challenge all year, once again rose to the occasion through a record-breaking SIX overtimes. Senior goaltender Amanda Grimes had the best game of her lacrosse career making insane saves shot after shot, including multiple penalty shots. Each shot saved, for a total of sixteen, elicited cheers from the student section and fans! Devastatingly, at the end of the sixth overtime, Westhampton would con-

At the start of the second half, Garden City came out blazing with a goal by senior captain Carla Curth, assisted by Kyle Finnell, and Marie Cacciabaudo, assisted by Carla Curth. Westhampton Beach answered with two goals in two minutes tying the game once again, 4-4. With seven minutes to go, Westhampton took the lead 5-4. With just over a minute left in regulation, Senior Kristen Hegarty, determined to not have her senior year lacrosse season end just yet, made a bold move and scored to tie the game 5-5 with the background sounds of the crowd erupting. Having battled questionable penalties and yellow cards all game, the Lady Trojans were determined to keep up the fierce fight in the overtime.

nect with the back of the net to win the game 6-5, thereby ending the Lady Trojans’ dream of travelling to Cortland to compete in the State Championships. The girls should be very proud as they showed grit and determination in every game this season never giving up until the last second of every game and believing they could always win, oftentimes pulling off the seemingly impossible. They are true leaders and the definition of what it means to be fierce competitors and role models both on and off the field. These girls are an inspiration for the next generation of Garden City lacrosse players. Despite the loss, this talented team should hold their heads high with two Class B County Championships and a Long Island Championship to boast during their tenure.
