School Board vacancy to be filled in spring election

UNDEFEATED SEASON

BY RIKKI N. MASSAND

Last summer, Garden City's B Swim team moved up from Division 3 to 2 after having a 5 meet winning streak and taking home first in the Championship meet. This year, the team powered through Division 2 and continued its winning streak with an undefeated season. This makes for a back to back division win and has led to the B team to join the A team in Divison 1!

Consultant hired for superintendent search BY RIKKI N. MASSAND The search for Garden City’s next superintendent of schools took shape in this week. On Tuesday August 8, the same night Dr. Alan Groveman took his oath of office as the interim superintendent (following a week’s training under the recently-retired Dr. Robert Feirsen), the Board of Education approved a $32,280 contract with consulting firm Hazard, Young, Attea and Associates to conduct a national talent search to fill the position. With Dr. Groveman under contract for the next year, by August of 2018 the school board expects the district to have its next educational leader set to steer the

district. Board President Angela Heineman provided the community with the comprehensive plan and said that next month, at the board’s regular meeting on Tuesday, September 19, the duo from Hazard, Young, Attea and Associates will meet the public, give a formal presentation on the superintendent search, and listen to any questions that come up. “The board is appointing HYAA to assist in its search for a superintendent. Since Dr. Feirsen announced his retirement in April the board has been working diligently through these months to effectuate a smooth and efficient transition process. The new permanent superintendent will be in place

some time during the summer of 2018,” she said. The board and Assistant Superintendent for Business Dana DiCapua developed an RFP (request for proposals), which was released in June. The school board received five proposals in response. “We carefully reviewed those proposals, we evaluated them, and we interviewed three finalists from the five. We conducted lengthy interviews with our list of five and spoke with references who have used the firms. The board is very pleased to work with the search team of Debbie Raizes and Robert Roelle to find the next superintendent of Garden See page 17

The position on the Garden City Board of Education vacated by Trustee Laura Hastings in early summer will remain open until the next district election in mid-May of 2018. School Board President Angela Heineman announced this week that the four school district trustees – herself, Robert Martin, Tom Pinou, and William Holub – now represent the “Core Four,” a reference to four homegrown New York Yankees’ all-stars that led the team to five World Series titles in 14 years. Almost an entire school year ahead and the process of selecting the next superintendent for the school district face the four sitting trustees, as each one agreed that the board’s priorities heading into this fall are cumbersome, leading to less time to consider a fifth board member joining soon. Heineman reviewed the three options the school board has at this time, with Hastings resigning nearly 10 months before the next regular May district election. “We can appoint someone to fill the vacancy and to serve until the next election in May 2018; we could hold a special election to fill the vacancy, and the third option is to leave the seat vacant until the next election and allow the normal nominating and election process to go forth,” she said. School board attorney Bonnie Gorham of the Farmingdale-based firm Guercio & Guercio LLP nodded and offered some clarity about waiting until the next election in May. “In the next annual election the vacant seat will be filled by selection from the voters. The person elected will take office the day after the May election,” Gorham said. At the July meeting Heineman announced that the board would discuss the matter in public on August 8, which it did briefly, after she noted “we have not made any decisions.” Since the decision of former Superintendent of Schools Dr. Robert Feirsen to retire, Heineman has been concerned about the school board being stretched too thin “concentrating on the transition, our focus has been finding a suitable experienced interim superintendent to lead us to the net year (Dr. Alan Groveman).” Evaluating the best candidate to serve alongside the current four members and represent the village may be one task the board isn’t ready to handle. Heineman called the work ahead with search consultants from Hazard, Young, Attea and Associates “another intense, time-consuming process.” She looked at the element of timeliness involved with having to hire a new superintendent, priority number one by summer of 2018.

A WORD FROM THE PUBLISHER

School district moving along

As the summer moves along, the Garden City Public Schools, while not in session, are preparing for the next school year. We'd like to welcome the two new assistant principals for Stewart and Stratford Schools, Michelle Bell (Stewart) and Christopher Hartigan (Stratford) as well as the new Interim Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Alan Groveman. In addition to filling open positions, the Board of Education is also moving ahead on a variety of upgrades to the buildings and grounds of the school district, and those projects seem to be on track. Summer is always a busy time for

construction in school districts, while the children are out of the buildings. The one area where we're not in complete agreement with the Board of Education is the decision to hold open the vacant seat on the board. While they board is within its rights to make that decision, it seems to us that having a fifth person could only be beneficial as it adds yet another perspective to all decisions. At a time when the Board is picking a new superintendent, the more different points of view, the better. We think it would be better to appoint a fifth person to fill the seat until the election.

St. Paul’s School village debacle

To the Editor: How long must this cancer in our village divide us? Half the population wants to maintain this crumbling edifice for God’s knows what, but you can count on it being economically unfeasible; even “if we think outside the box.” Pragmatists accept the inevitable physical and economic collapse of the structure in time. There is no steel or iron supporting this building, only wood and stone; both subject to the elements. Years ago, I wrote in the GC News asking the GC Historical Society to provide any evidence of historical significance that occurred at St. Paul’s either by an individual or at the facility. NEVER received an answer, because there is none! How it got on the National Register of “HISTORIC” Places is a mystery? Age? Years ago, I also wrote in the GC News suggesting sale of the GC Pool to Adelphi University. They already lease the parking lot for more time than we use the pools. Has the Village ever contacted Adelphi to see if there might be any interest? Keep thinking out of the box. First, this would allow Adelphi to expand near their existing campus and we would be helping a good neighbor. (Note: I am an Adjunct Professor at Adelphi, but I suggested this long before accepting a position there.) Second, the funds would allow us to develop a truly unifying GC COMMUNITY Center in the Village geographic center. We could incorporate the stain glass and tiles into the new facility and name it for St. Paul, in homage. I envisioned a year-round indoor/ outdoor pool allowing the GC residents to swim year-round, not 2 ½ months. It would also allow our champion swim/ diving teams to train in and compete in a facility worthy of the community

Seniors need transportation

To the Editor: I have been pleading with the Board of Trustees for two years to offer us seniors some kind of transportation: weekly for grocery shopping (in Garden City Village, of course) and a ride to the pool and library. I have gotten at least 500 signatures during this time. If we lived in Mineola, New Hyde Park, Floral Park, Port Washington, etc we seniors would have that needed support. The best that the Trustees have come up with is $6 plus a 20% tip from All Island taxi, which has an absolute monopoly in Garden City. The other surrounding towns charge about $2 to $3. Now to get to the pool three miles away from my home costs $14 round trip. I recently turned in another 300 signatures - I go to the pool and senor center for support. Most, about 80%, are very supportive. The usual response: I have a mother - or I am going to be old someday and will need the service, etc. Patricia Donnelly

A state of the art community theatre for use by the schools, village or outside groups to generate revenue. Dance, Meditation or Self Defense studios for use by village or outside groups to generate revenue. Smaller, expandable, meeting facilities for use, as needed, to generate revenues for the center. Wow. The BOX keeps getting bigger. Additional suggestions welcome. Garden City is still a young vibrant community, constantly turning over, which needs to address the needs of the present and future residents. We must, of course, honor our past; but we must also serve those here now and in the future. I believe a GC Community Center, we all agree on, will help the Village build to the future and leave a lasting legacy that we, and future residents, could all be proud of! Thomas P. Brosnan

BY RIKKI N. MASSAND

Garden City Public Schools go into the 2017-2018 academic year with facility and infrastructure improvements on track and under budget. Gary Gonzalez, senior project manager and associate of Park East Construction Corporation, addressed the board of education on Tuesday, August 8 to provide a look ahead at projects this summer and fall, with long-anticipated updates on the timelines for some big items. The nurse’s office renovation at the Middle School begun at the end of June, and demolition and abatement were the first steps. Light steel framing and sheetrock installations were next, and all electrical and plumbing are now 100% complete. In the next few weeks contractors will be finishing the ceiling and floors by late August as the project had a target date of September 1. For Garden City High School’s new synthetic turf field, Gonzalez was right on time with an update – the new

turf was delivered the very next day, August 9. He told the board and administration that he project, including the high school track resurfacing and playing field reconstruction, was well underway. “To date the existing track was removed, the existing field has been removed, and the existing drains have all been covered. We are in the process of installing new drainage this week. The concrete and asphalt was shifted over as well as the concrete for the goalposts (football). The drainage will be completed by the end of this week and turf installation is next week (August 14 to 18). On August 21 we will begin with the actual resurfacing of the track,” Gonzalez said. School Board Trustee Robert Martin asked if the new track and field will be usable on September 1, and Gonzalez said yes barring any weather delays that could impact the track surface installations. Assistant Superintendent for Business Dana DiCapua asked about G-MAX testing of the

turf and Gonzalez said that would be done in the preparations stage. DiCapua answered another question from Board President Angela Heineman, as she wondered about football practices and other sports that begin training before September 1. DiCapua said there is an arrangement in place with the Village of Garden City to use municipally-owned fields in August. Another arrangement involving the annual summer weight training regimens took shape at the end of last school year, but the district did not run its traditional in-facility program for 2017. “That program we decided not to do since there was already another arrangement, but any sort of interior use of the weight room will continue in fall with minimal obstruction,” she said. The Middle School breezeway windows reconstruction, another part of a 2016 district referendum, is halfway as the existing breezeways were removed and abated. Temporary partitions were

installed in early August. “We installed interior sheetrock and some temporary windows and doors. We are only taking down what we can close up. The contractor informed us today that the breezeway window system will be delivered in the first week of September, still on schedule. That work for installations will take place after school hours and it will be completed by the third week in October,” Gonzalez told the school board. Heineman asked where the materials are being stored during work, and Gonzalez said the contractors use storage containers at the location and in the Middle School. The high school auxiliary gym window reconstruction, installing a motorized window system, is also moving along. “The delivery came in on Friday, abatement of the existing windows will take place Monday and new windows will be installed by the end of next week – ahead of schedule,” Gonzalez said. The Administration Building generator is another cap-

ital project the district anticipates complete this fall. The unit will be delivered in the third week of September. Gonzalez said a gas company vendor and Maccarone Plumbing of Glen Cove will do the propane tank installations in connection to the generator, and they will be buried underground. The permit approval for the new generator could come in by the third week of September, but the installations of vents and excavation of the existing generator will start within the next two weeks. Gonzalez says once the pieces and permits are clearly in line by September the installation and functional checks should be complete and ready by November, in time for winter. Board Trustee Robert Martin asked about the propane tanks’ capacity to back up the generator, and Gonzalez said from what BBS Architects and Engineers tells him, there would be enough power to supply the building for three days in case of power loss in an emergency.

Garden City’s two elementary schools, Stewart and Stratford, will have new assistant principals when they open in September. Michelle Bell was appointed as the new assistant principal of Stewart School in July, and as promised she attended the August board of education meeting for an official welcome to Garden City. Bell was joined by her husband and her young daughter, and she greeted board members after comments on her appointment. Bell earned her bachelors of science in Education from the University of Delaware in 2006. She completed a master’s in Educational Technology and an advanced certificate in Educational Leadership in 2014 at Long Island University / C.W. Post with a 4.0 GPA. She was a classroom teacher at Great Neck’s E.M. Baker School, and she has a background specializing in Educational Technology. At E.M. Baker School Bell chaired and served on the technology committee. She helped pilot the first one-to-one iPad initiative at elementary level in Great Neck Schools. According to Assistant Superintendent for Personnel Dr. Maureen Appiarius, Bell “has provided and certainly will provide professional development for her peers in this domain.” She then told Bell the district HR team had such a wonderful time meeting her and with the interview process: “We look forward to your work and we can already see you are quite capable of multi-tasking,” she said as Bell balanced her baby and thanked the

board for their support and the opportunity. Bell comes to Garden City fresh off serving as summer intern-assistant principal in Great Neck Public Schools. The former Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction in Garden City, Dr. Teresa Prendergast, is the current Superintendent of Schools in Great Neck, a position she started in July of 2015. Christopher Hartigan, introduced Tuesday night August 8, sat alongside Stratford Elementary School Principal Eileen Vota. He joins Garden City Union Free Public Schools in an administrative position after serving as a model teacher, teacher leader and administrative intern at PS253Q in Far Rockaway, Queens. He taught grade levels from kindergarten through fifth grade at the school. “He served as a special education teacher for the New York City Department of Education and in the Lynbrook School District. Christopher it was a pleasure going through the process of meeting you, hearing about your accomplishments and your enthusiasm for working with the students of Garden City. We thank you and we welcome you,” Dr. Appiarius said. Hartigan earned his bachelor’s in Education at Long Island University and a master’s degree in Special Education from Queens College in 2012. He also attended The College of Saint Rose, earning an advanced certificate in School Leadership. Both Hartigan and Bell posed for photos on August 8 with the school board and new interim superintendent, Dr. Alan Groveman.

Cathedral Avenue concerns reach Village Board BY RIKKI N. MASSAND New Central Property Owners’ Association Director Keith Hochheiser approached the Village of Garden City’s Traffic Commission in 2015 about heavy truck traffic on Cathedral Avenue. At a meeting in October 2015 Hochheiser reiterated the dangers of very large box trucks traveling down Cathedral while young children play on front lawns. He presented the Traffic Commission with a petition signed by 100 residents at the time. In two years, the counts of vehicular accidents and dangerous situations, including “close-calls” on Cathedral Avenue have crept up steadily throughout the first half of 2017. The concerned resident found support in June when the CPOA decided to form a subcommittee on traffic safety in central Garden City. Now the voice of traffic for the central section has led a charge for the village to work with Nassau County officials. Pat DiMattia, CPOA board member and its liaison to the Traffic Commission, took a stand at the July 20 Board of Trustees meeting and urged action soon, noticing the high number of accidents near home. “During the course of many, many years it seems that traffic has gotten out of control in the central section. I am not dismissing any sections of the village not in my purview, but as of late

the most pressing matter is the situation at Cathedral Avenue between Third and Fourth Streets. People do not know the road is a county road, which Cathedral is as is Franklin Avenue and Rockaway Avenue, we can’t do anything to solve problems without Nassau County’s input. The situation has gotten out of control and Nassau County must decide what has to be done,” DiMattia said. She turned to Police Commissioner Kenneth Jackson, who reported on the number of accidents along Cathedral during a few Traffic Commission meetings. But DiMattia came on July 20 to ask Mayor Brian Daughney to take the matter to Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano. “Earlier today I learned via email that Mayor Daughney has opened that door of communication to the county. I want to make sure that line of communication happens – not just for that intersection but there are numerous other traffic issues in Garden City that need to be addressed. The county is problematic in the resolution of any of these issues. But I appear tonight on behalf of central residents, but everyone in Garden City travels Cathedral Avenue and Franklin Avenue. The fact that they’re in the central section means nothing. We need Nassau County to resolve them,” she told the Board of Trustees. When Hochheiser spoke to the Traffic Commission about signage and enforce-

ment to regulate specifically the truck traffic on Cathedral Avenue, Nassau County Legislator Laura Schaefer told the village the signage and local enforcement was up to Garden City itself. The situation is compounded by the number of parallel roads all going through Garden City, whether Hilton Avenue, Franklin Avenue or perhaps New Hyde Park Road become alternates to northsouth Cathedral Avenue. As noted in the police report last week, on July 30 a vehicle was stopped by a Garden City police officer for excessive speed on Cathedral Avenue at Fourth Street. “Upon investigation, the driver, a 22 year old Queens man, was charged with driving with a suspended license and speeding.” Ten days prior on July 20, DiMattia spoke about the CPOA’s subcommittee and any ways in which residents of Garden City can be part of a greater county-led traffic safety resolution in the months ahead. “Most importantly we need to get the county on target to help us resolve these traffic issues throughout Garden City. I am hopeful this will happen now that the doors are open with Mayor Daughney and County Executive Mangano. Village Trustee Louis Minuto lives very close to the stretch of Cathedral Avenue in question, right on Fourth Street and Rockaway Avenue. He said from June to July there were three big

accidents, including one near his corner. In the nine years he’s been in that location the traffic and accident rate has gotten much worse. Minuto said sometimes he and his neighbors can’t get out from their driveways due to dangerous oncoming traffic. There may be a variety of factors to consider other than traffic enforcement. “In discussions with Nassau County, the kind of ‘smart traffic apps’ that are available now encourage the usage of roads here that just were not used with higher traffic concentrations before. The rise in the popularity of those apps is presenting a unique issue, especially for the nice and wide, multi-lane roads with little or no traffic lights. Whatever logarithm those companies are using with that technology, Rockaway, Cathedral and Franklin all look scrumptious for somebody heading through to the Southern State Parkway, or vice versa. There needs to be different controls, because those roads will be used more and more until something is done,” Minuto explained. DiMattia told the Board of Trustees the village must continue to push forward with Nassau County to try to get something done “as that’s the only way to a solution.” “The CPOA and the residents of the area would like to participate in the process if we can,” she told the mayor.

We are no longer publishing the “Mayor’s Column.” This weekly column is intended to advise our residents and community of matters that the Village is working on, events and other important information. And of course, please visit our website for additional information: www.gardencityny.net. We are constantly updating and making changes to the website in order to keep it relevant and provide new information. We also encourage you to attend Village Board of Trustees meetings. See the schedule of meetings on our website.

Myth #2: Prohibitions on building height

As mentioned previously, we thought it would be of interest to residents, both old and new, to identify and speak to urban myths that we commonly hear. We welcome other inquiries from residents that you would like us to discuss.

Perhaps you have heard this one - that similar to Washington, D.C.'s prohibitions on buildings higher than the Washington Monument (maybe that is a myth?), we have a similar restriction and "no building in our Village can be built higher than the steeple of the Cathedral of the Incarnation." Is this true or an urban myth? This one is an urban myth. There are no buildings in our Village with such height, and we are not recommending or promoting any such buildings. The zone in which the building or proposed building is located determines building height and size. As examples, under the existing codes, most residential homes cannot be higher than 35 feet, a hotel could be 60 feet in height and commercial buildings are limited to 60 feet. However, our Village Building and Zoning Codes do not contain any prohibitions on height directly related to the height of the Cathedral steeple.

Cluett Hall Parking

The work to create additional parking at Cluett Hall has begun. This portion of the paving program consists of adding a total of 13 additional parking spaces to the complex, which includes

the addition of two handicap spaces. These additional spaces will be in two separate areas of the St. Paul’s complex: Cluett Hall • We will be adding four new spaces and two new handicap spaces in the area directly southwest of the entrance to Cluett Hall (where there is currently grass). • In addition, as part of this project we have repaved the sidewalk which runs along the western side of Cluett Hall and is used to gain access to the handicap ramp leading to the entrance. • The curb work for the parking is completed and we should be paving within the next week or so. • This additional parking did require the removal of one tree. Rockaway Entrance • We are also adding 17 parking spaces on the south side of the entrance road coming off of Rockaway Ave. There is currently parallel parking along this area, which accommodates approximately 10 vehicles. •We will be reconfiguring the parking in this area. The new spaces will be head-in parking spaces, which allows us to increase the amount of spaces by

When this work is complete we will have added 13 additional parking spaces to the St. Paul’s complex, improved the accessibility to Cluett Hall and enhanced the ease and convenience of parking along the Rockaway Road entrance, according to Superintendent of Public Works Joseph DiFrancisco.

Water Infrastructure Improvement Act

The Board authorized the Village to apply for the New York State Department of Health Infrastructure Improvement Grant with regard to the proposed Water Storage Tank. The Board engaged H2M Water to prepare and submit a grant application to the New York State Department of Health. The Village is eligible for up to $3 million. All the required information has been submitted and the Village is now waiting for the Department of Health to make a decision. The Department of Health did not provide a time frame for a decision but they do know the Village See page 10

We would like to ask residents to be

mindful of your neighbors by making sure that refuse is placed at the curb by 7:00 a.m., but not more than 12 hours before collection. The Village is fortunate to have regular garbage pickup, so that you never have to put your garbage out to the curb, as the Village has side yard pickup.

JCC accepts CBRAC Budget Review Report SUBMITTED BY THE JOINT CONFERENCE COMMITTEE The Joint Conference Committee (JCC) sincerely thanks the members of this year’s Citizen’s Budget Review and Advisory Committee (CBRAC) for their service in assisting and advising the Property Owners’ Associations in connection with a review and analysis of the financial systems, procedures, operations and budget of the Village. CBRAC is a volunteer committee appointed by the JCC and is comprised of two representatives from each of the four Property Owners’ Associations. Committee members are tasked with the objective of analyzing and evaluating the current fiscal year budget, and providing strategic and specific recommendations to the Board of Trustees (BOT), as well as reporting its recommendations to the JCC. According to the CBRAC, this review was supplemented with interviews with depart-

ment management and, on occasion, other external, third party research. Additionally, CBRAC members participated in public work sessions held by the Village of Garden City and the BOT. This year’s CBRAC members included Joseph Colletti (Chairman), Joseph Caroselli, Steve Forte, Danielle Kilkenny, Richard Nessler, Michael Teideman, and Nicholas Vernice. At the conclusion of their task, they distributed a report to the JCC and the Village Trustees. The CBRAC report also includes analysis and recommendations by village department, as well as for the public library. The full CBRAC report is posted on each of the four Property Owners’ Association websites, which can be accessed from the Village website, www.gardencityny.net. The JCC thanks the CBRAC volunteers for their many dedicated hours in preparing this report.

As this is written, I am celebrating the infamous birthday discussed in last week's column in Saratoga Springs with a group of friends. One highlight of the trip was obtaining a paddock pass at the racetrack. This was the first time in my 30 years of attending races here that I was able to get so close to the horses and jockeys as they prepare for the post. Very interesting. This evening will commence the Saratoga yearling auction, where optimistic buyers from all over the world can be expected to bid the sales prices of a few promising horses well above the $1 million level. The sales are an excellent spectator event even for those of us not possessed of the resources to purchase an keep a thoroughbred. My trip upstate seems like a good opportunity to take another look at politics in New York State. It is sometimes hard to remember on a trip upstate that the relatively bucolic counties that you encounter are just as much a part of New York State as the bustling downstate counties of New York City and its suburbs. But New York is a big and diverse state and the policies adopted in Albany makes a big difference to millions of people all the way from Niagara Falls to Montauk Point. In the very immediate future, there are a number of important votes in New York State on the November 2017 ballot, including the county executive elections in Nassau and Westchester counties and the New York City mayoral race, where, despite a lackluster tenure, Mayor Bill de Blasio has the advantage of a huge Democratic registration advantage as he llseeks reelection. Perhaps the most important issue on the ballot in the fall, however, is whether to assemble a convention to propose, subject to later ratification by the voters, some changes in the state constitution. (A referendum on this subject is required every 20 years.) As discussed in a previous column, given the rather low repute of much of the state government, there is considerable merit to a constitutional convention. However,

in light of the strong desire of a number of interest groups in preserving at all costs a some existing provisions in the state constitution (for example relating to pension rights of state workers), approval of the constitutional convention seems doubtful. Even more action will occur in 2018. Governor Andrew Cuomo, who may have his eye on the White House, will be seeking reelection. There are a number of potential Republican challengers, including his 2014 opponent, Rob Astorino, Harry Wilson and John DeFrancisco. The governor also may face a Democratic primary challenger, Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner. While Governor Cuomo is the clear favorite in the race, and has a sizable campaign war chest, this race may be more difficult than his prior two runs. In 2014, Mr. Astorino ran pretty well outside of New York City, but was overwhelmed in the city. Right now, however, city residents are very unhappy about the subway system, and have directed some of their displeasure at Mr. Cuomo, who has effective control of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. There also will be significant races downballot next year. Democrats are hoping for a wave election nationwide next year, giving them control of the House of Representatives. Among their larger targets will be in New York State, where a number of the nine House seats currently held by the GOP are in marginal districts. And last, but definitely not least, regular Democrats will make one more attempt to gain numerical control of the state senate, the one bulwark of Republican power in state government, currently in GOP hands by a razor thin margin. A complicating factor here is the Independent Democratic Caucus, a renegade group of state senators that for now has allied itself with chamber Republicans. In short, whether you live in Saratoga Springs, New York City or Nassau County, state political developments will be of considerable importance in the next two years.

Board of Education announces selection of executive search firm

After interviewing three of the five executive search firms that responded to Garden City Public School’s Board of Education’s Request for Proposal (RFP) for a firm to conduct the district’s search for a permanent superintendent, Board President Angela Heineman announced the selection of Hazard, Young, Attea & Associates (HYA) at the August 8th Regular Meeting. “We chose HYA because of their successful work with similar districts in Nassau County and the region,” commented Board President Angela Heineman. “We look forward to working with Senior Associate Deborah S. Raizes and Associate Robert J. Roelle in the task of selecting the next superintendent for Garden City Public Schools.” Pending approval of the contract, the BOE and HYA will begin the pre-planning stages of the superintendent’s search. HYA will be working closely with the Board to seek out, recruit, and present a slate of finalists for the permanent position of Superintendent of Schools based on HYA’s Leadership Profile as developed from input collected from all constituent groups, including the greater Garden City community. In a formal statement from the Board of Education at the August meeting, Mrs. Heineman explained: “On tonight’s agenda, is a resolution to appoint executive search consultant

Dr. Alan Groveman is sworn in as Interim Superintendent of Schools Hazard, Young, Attea & Associates (HYA) to assist the Board in its search for a new Superintendent of Schools. “Since Dr. Feirsen announced his retirement back in April, the Board has been working diligently to effectuate a smooth and efficient transition process; one that will enable us to continue not only with business as usual, but also continue to move forward with our District’s mission and goals. “To that end, we hired an experienced former Superintendent, Dr. Groveman,

Board of Ed President Angela Heineman announces selection of executive search firm. to serve as Interim Superintendent for the 2017-2018 school year. Dr. Groveman began officially as Interim Superintendent on August 1st. He also spent five very busy and productive transition days in the district meeting with administrators and staff, the police commissioner and Village staff, district architects and construction manager, and touring all our facilities. “As we have outlined previously, the next step in the process was to engage a search consultant to assist us with the search for a permanent Superintendent to begin by August 1, 2018. With Ms. DiCapua’s help, we developed an RFP which was released in June, received five proposals in response, carefully evaluated those proposals and interviewed three finalists. After conducting lengthy interviews with each finalist and checking references, the Board is very pleased to begin working with the search team of Deborah Raizes and Robert Roelle from Hazard, Young, Attea & Associates to find the next Superintendent of Schools for Garden City Public Schools. “We chose the HYA team because of their extensive experience with similar districts in Nassau County and the region, their national network, their reasoned, thorough, pro-active approach to the search process, their level of service, and their track record of success in identifying educational leaders for other high performing districts, like GC. The Board’s most important job is hiring the Superintendent. The combination of Bob Roelle’s 20 years of experience as a Superintendent of Schools & Debbie Raizes’ experience as an educator, a school and university Board member, and her 20 years as a search consultant will serve us well in our search for the district’s next educational leader. Our lead consultant, Debbie Raizes, has conducted approximately 80 searches, mostly in high-performing districts in Westchester and Fairfield counties, and on L.I. “We are currently preparing for the Board’s initial planning meeting with Hazard Young, in early September. At that initial meeting, we expect to out-

line the timeline and steps of the search process. After that, we will inform the community of the next steps and provide information on the various avenues for gathering community input: electronic survey, interviews, focus groups, or open forum. As we have said from the beginning, the board is focused, we are working as a team, the consultants will assist us in seeking input from the community and constituent groups, and we will continue to keep the community apprised of progress as the process unfolds. “We thank you in advance for your cooperation with Hazard Young and look forward to beginning this very important process.” “As the Board will be focusing much of their efforts toward the transition period and the superintendent search, the four remaining members unanimously decided to leave the seat vacated by Laura Hastings last month open until the next board election in May. “We should remain focused on the efforts of the search and the business at hand,” said President Heineman. The District’s attorney, Ms. Bonnie Gorham, was present at the meeting and reviewed the Board’s options in such circumstances: 1) Appoint a new trustee to fill the position until the May election; 2) Hold a special election; or 3) Leave the seat vacant until the next election. “The electoral process will go forward,” Ms. Gorham, explained. “The election process will take place and the elected Board member will take his/her place the next day.” In a ceremonial swearing in at the start of the August 8th Board meeting, Dr. Alan Groveman, Garden City’s Interim Superintendent of Schools, took the pledge of office for the benefit of the public (he was previously sworn in on August 1st in the Administration Building by District Clerk Ms. Dana DiCapua). Dr. Groveman explained the activities during the transitional days he spent with now-retired Superintendent Dr. Robert Feirsen in July, and complimented Dr. Feirsen on his thoroughness and willingness to provide support during the transition period.

From page 1 City Schools. We chose the experienced HYAA team because of their extensive experience with similar districts in Nassau County our region and national network, their level of service, their reasoned, thorough, proactive approach to the search process, and their track record of success,” Heineman explained. Last November Manhasset Public Schools hired Hazard, Young, Attea and Associates to assist in its search for a new superintendent. Heineman said at Tuesday’s meeting that the board’s most important job is hiring the superintendent, often called “the CEO of the school district.” She asserted that the search firm’s help will help Garden City Public Schools move forward with “business as usual” and adhere to moving forward with the district’s missions and goals. Raizes was a board of education member in Scarsdale and a board trustee of Leslie University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and she has been a search consultant for two decades. Roelle has 20 years’ experience as a superintendent of schools in Westchester County. Heineman said the combination of “ambition and expertise” will serve Garden City Public Schools well as it seeks its next educational leader.

“Debbie Raizes will be the lead consultant and she’s conducted approximately 80 searches, mostly in high-performing Westchester, Long Island and Fairfield County, Connecticut districts. We are anxious to begin this process and from all we have heard from other board members who’ve been through this – it is tense, time-consuming and we are up for the challenge,” she said. The district’s contract with the search firm is not to exceed $32,380, “plus additional reimbursement expenses approved in advance by the board, expressly contingent upon and subject to negotiation and approval of an agreement by district counsel.” Immediately after Labor Day, the same week as the board of education’s September work session, Hazard, Young, Attea and Associates will hold its initial planning meeting with district leadership. Heineman announced that gathering would shape the timeline and steps involved in the search process. “Once that is done we will inform the community of those next steps and provide information on the various avenues for gathering community input – whether via electronic surveys, interviews, parent focus groups or open forums. We are focused, working as a team, and the consultants will assist us in seeking input from the commu-

nity and our constituent groups. We will keep the community and our staff informed and apprised of the process as it unfolds,” Heineman said. The school board will next convene on Wednesday, September 6, for its monthly work session. At that meeting the board will present Garden City district goals for the 2017-2018 school year, as well as an update on the district’s work on the potential change to a later high school starting time, which could happen by fall 2018 at the earliest. In his first “Superintendent’s Report” in Garden City this week, Dr. Groveman commented on recent “Starting Time Study” meetings. “We had a very, very preliminary review of enrollment projections and we will continue to ensure that we have valid and accurate of enrollment projections when we go through the discussions of changing the starting times. The board knows, but the public may not be aware, but the enrollment for this year in kindergarten is about 318 – well above the expectations and it required extra staffing. We will look at the probability of this continuing, and we’ll modify all the numbers to following the incoming kindergarten throughout the years. If the kindergarten changes then next year first grade changes, etc. That is evolving, and we also met with the

district transportation department to get a view of what any possible change to district starting times would mean for transportation,” he said. Groveman thanked Dr. Feirsen for his professional tutelage in the last five work days of July and for offering so much help in the transition. Dr. Groveman officially began his board-approved one-year contract to be superintendent on August 1, and he said with Dr. Feirsen taking a position at NYIT, weeks ahead of the fall semester, the college was very generous to “tolerate me extremely well,” he joked. Heineman also commented on Groveman’s learning experiences in July, meeting with the district staff and board members, including herself. He also spent time coordinating with Central Office personnel and faculty members. Assistant Superintendents Dr. Edward Cannone and Dr. Maureen Appiarius also met with Dr. Groveman to discuss their respective departments: curriculum initiatives, professional development and personnel updates. In addition, the District Clerk and Assistant Superintendent for Business Dana DiCapua discussed details of the current school budget (2017-2018) and the projected 2018-2019 budget.

Obesity causes more serious health issues than smoking, drinking or poverty. NYU Winthrop Hospital is responding with the widest choice of safe and effective treatment options in the tri-state area.

NYU Winthrop is the only hospital in New York that offers the HMR Diet, named 2017’s Best Diet for Fast Weight Loss by US News & World Report. The HMR Diet is a medical weight loss program managed by endocrinologists, dietitians and nurse practitioners. And NYU Winthrop is among the first in the nation to offer revolutionary VBLOC Therapy.

Coffee & Tea by the Book: Breakdown by B.A. Paris

Tuesday, September 12th at 9:30AM In Person Registration Begins Wednesday, August 16th In person registration for Garden City Library cardholders begins on Wednesday, August 16th at 9:30AM at the Reference Desk of the Library for the next Coffee & Tea by the Book discussion. The program will be held on Tuesday, September 12th on the Lower Level at 9:30AM sharp. Librarians Laura Flanagan and Ann Garnett will moderate a discussion of Breakdown by B.A. Paris. Would you stop to help the driver of a stalled vehicle on an isolated wooded road during a major storm? As the morning news reveals that the stranded driver had been brutally murdered, probably minutes after Cass drove by, this is the question she repeatedly asks herself as she replays those moments

from the night before. In the same vein as the author’s acclaimed debut, Behind Closed Doors, this riveting psychological thriller pulls readers into an engrossing narrative in which every character is suspect. With its wellformed protagonists, snappy, authentic dialogue, and clever and twisty plot, this is one not to miss. You can pick up a copy of the book when you register at the Reference Desk. You are welcome to bring your own coffee or tea. Registration is limited to 25 Garden City Public Library cardholders. Non-Garden City Library cardholders may register in person beginning September 3rd if space is available.

GCHS students garner top designations on 2017 AP Exams

Each year, Garden City High School students sit for Advanced Placement (AP) exams. Depending on a student’s results and the college or university he/she will be attending, these exams can count toward college credit, savings thousands of dollars on coursework (or freeing the student to take higher-level courses earlier in his/her college career), and serving as valuable college-

readiness preparation. The College Board administrates the tests, scores exams on a scale of 0-5 (5 being the highest), and determines four levels of overall student achievement: Scholars, Scholars with Honors, Scholars with Distinction, and National Scholars. Each level is increasingly difficult to attain: Scholars must achieve grades of 3 or higher on three or more exams; Scholars with Honors

must achieve an average grade of at least 3.25 on all AP exams taken, and grades of 3 or higher on five or more of these exams; Scholars with Distinction must achieve an average grade of at least 3.5 on all AP Exams taken, and grades of 3 or higher on five or more of these exams; and National Scholars must receive an average grade of at least 4 on all AP Exams taken, and grades of 4 or higher on eight or more of these exams.

Calling all College students!

As illustrated in the attached chart, since 2008, the high school has had a steady increase in the total number of exams taken by its students. For 2017, Garden City High School students sat for 1,254 AP exams, and achieved the second highest total since 2008 of students scoring 3+. The total number of Scholars noted by The College Board was 222, a tie with the total achieved in 2015, and the second highest

ever achieved by GCHS students. For National Scholars, the total for 2017 was 14, tied with 2016 and 2011. Again, these designations are awarded by The College Board to any student who has taken the exams and achieved high scores. Congratulations to all our students for setting the bar high for themselves and to the high school administration and AP teachers for preparing our students so well!

Pack 7 Wolf Scouts learn about Garden City’s history

In June, the Scouts of Wolf Den 4, Garden City Cub Scout Pack 7, visited The Garden City Historical Society Museum and provided their assistance at the 12th annual flea market hosted by the volunteers of the Society’s A.T. Stewart Exchange consignment shop. After assisting the staff by cleaning up the Museum grounds, and disassembling and storing the flea market tables and displays, the Scouts were given an exciting and informative tour of the Museum. Gloria Jones, recording secretary of the Historical Society, spoke to the boys about the historical heritage of our Village, its architecture and what life was like here in the late 1800’s. The Scouts got a glimpse of early life in Garden City as they viewed Village artifacts and historic photos up close. Brian Pinnola, past president and current trustee of the Historical Society (and a former Cub Scout!), kicked off the tour by leading the Scouts in reciting the Scout Oath and then led them on a tour of the Museum (a Stewart-era Apostle House built in 1872). The Scouts were thrilled to learn about the architectural style of the 145-year old Museum building, as well as the ways in which homes were lit and heated in the late 1800’s. The Scouts asked many questions about the history of the Museum and learned about the relocation of the Museum build-

ing back in 1988 from Fifth Street to its present location on Eleventh Street. The Scouts were in for a further surprise as they learned about the history of the Village of Garden City and its founding father, Alexander Turney Stewart, and its notable structures such as the Apostle Houses, the Cathedral of the Incarnation and St. Paul’s School. The Scouts received an informal presentation about the Historical Society’s Capital Campaign to restore the exterior of the Museum building and its efforts to raise awareness about the Museum and its restoration project. The Scouts also learned about current efforts to save and restore other historically significant buildings located in the Village, the most important of which being St. Paul’s School. The enormous task of saving, restoring and preserving such buildings will have a meaningful impact on the Garden City residents, and even more so, on the Scouts as they all made a connection to their Village’s heritage and are now conscious of the importance of historic preservation. The Scouts wrapped up their visit to the Historical Society with a whole new perspective on where they live. They were also encouraged to share in the pride of our Village as well as to promote the historical heritage of Garden City.

SOCIALLY SPEAKING

August events With ATHENA

A number of folks have asked me when will the Antique Roadshow be held at the Garden City Library and the answer will be it is usually held in February - not in the Summer or Fall. Since it is so popular, you will have to wait till then, but you could ask about the date in January. That will give you time to look over your treasures to find which one you would like to bring. Remember that patience is a virtue and I will be waiting too. Miriam Benack remembers her friends in Garden City and since writing letters has gone out of style telephones are the answer. Actually it is much nicer to be able to speak to your friends than it is to write. I hear that Miriam still subscribes to the Garden City News. Here we are in August which means two things. One is that summer is half over and the other is that there will be an eclipse on August 21st and there will not be another eclipse until 2045. Can you wait? [Editor’s note: With all due respect to Athena, there actually will be another total eclipse in the United States on April 8, 2024, which will pass over western New York and parts of New England, among other places.] If you are looking for an historic site that is not far away you might contact the Huntington Historical Society. The headquarters are at the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial building. The building was constructed in 1892 to remember those who fought and died in the Civil War. A little bit of history never hurt anyone. Happy Birthday wishes go to Claire Hestenberg who will blow out the candles on her cake on August 11th, to Madeline Wittman who will be celebrating on the 12th of August and Nancy Fardleman who will celebrate on the 10th of August. May they have a wonderful day and a year filled with health and happiness

with many more to come. Somehow as the year progresses the time goes faster. Students are much more aware of this than we are. They seem to be content with this and I applaud them for it. I do think it was this way during my school years. So, what goes around comes around as usual. The ladies who volunteer are still volunteering and if you visit Clark Gardens you will probably see one of them. The ladies are Dian Kendrick, Marie Ramos, Virginia Musante, Mary Lou Pfiffer, Leslie Saccarido and Diane Bliss. Good for you ladies and more power to you for your efforts. Looking back over the years, we miss so many familiar faces but that is the way of life. Those who have moved to Florida, California and other parts of the U.S.A. will be in our thoughts and hearts for many years and some come back for visits and we are happy to be with them if even for a short time. The Community Club of Garden City and Hempstead will be getting a new member of the ladies who work on the clubs bulletin. Sue Jordan will be moving south and Connie Brown is going to take over that task. It is always so good to know that there is always someone to step up to the plate and groups are having volunteers willing to join in and help. So often you hear of groups that have trouble getting people to volunteer. Congratulations to you ladies. It is so good to know there are people who will step up to the plate. They usually find that help is there when you need it. Have a good week and maybe I will see you at the Pool.

IN MEMORIAM Rosemary LoPinto Rosemary LoPinto, 89, of Sarasota, FL died August 3, 2017. She was born on October 4, 1927, in Brooklyn, and came to Florida 22 years ago from Garden City. She with her husband, Joseph LoPinto, who owned a real estate appraisal company that merged with Sackland -Gillian, was a “real estate flipper” before there were flippers, renovating homes with her Old World pewter, Early American antiques and handmade decorations, and living in them for several years before selling. She loved her Catholic Church, traveling, eventually with the grandchildren whom she took to Marineo, the village she and Joe’s family came from next

to Corleone, Sicily. She will most be remembered for bringing family and friends together for impassioned discussions during extensive homemade Italian feasts. Survivors include her son and his wife, Anthony and Susan LoPinto of New York City, daughter and husband, Maryann and a Jeffrey Horton of Sarasota, FL & two grandsons, Michael and Douglas, granddaughter, Tracey, and two great-grandsons, Kellen and Sean.

A CLINICAL RESEARCH STUDY FOR INSOMNIA PATIENTS WHO ALSO HAVE ALZHEIMERâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S.

ALZHEIMERâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S: WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW?

The two concerning statistics many families confront: Every 66 seconds someone develops Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. One in every three seniors die of Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or Dementia.

If you or your loved one has insomnia - and also has Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s - we invite you to learn more about a clinical research study. To be eligible for participation, you or your loved one must:

While the prevalence is very concerning there is new hope, as many promising therapies are in the pipeline. Unfortunately, the diagnosis of Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is not straightforward. There is no one test. The diagnosis truly rests on a detailed history and clinical examination obtained by a physician, specifically neurologists with expertise in this area. When diagnosis is confirmed, patients and families need advice on what to expect and the availability of community resources. While there is no cure, there are treatments that do slow its rate of progression. At Neurological Associates of Long Island, we take a comprehensive approach to caring for patients with dementia, recognizing the need to treat both the patient and caregiver. In one location, we can perform a complete evaluation including cognitive testing and neuroimaging with access to high field open MRI imaging. Our physical therapy department has a gait and balance program specifically geared to those with dementia. Beyond offering FDA approved medication options, we have a clinical research program offering in some of the most exiting clinical trials available.

â&#x20AC;˘ Be 50 to 90 years old â&#x20AC;˘ Have a diagnosis of insomnia and mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease Please note there are additional criteria that must be met to qualify to participate in this study.

Thank you for considering this clinical research study. Please contact us to see if you qualify.

Summer Academy Theatre Troupe gives premier performance

On Friday, July 21st, the Music Academy of Garden City Summer Theatre Troupe gave its premier performance at the Ethical Humanist Society to a crowd of excited parents and friends. The performance was the culmination of the Music Academy’s Musical Theatre Summer Intensive, a day camp that ran in July. The show was titled The Letter: The Mystery of Rosewood Academy, which is the story of students at a performing arts school who are trying to put on their big, end-of-the-year showcase; however, their teacher has gone missing. The show explores the

students’ journey to try and find their teacher and still put on the production. They hire the help of a detective and officer, who encounter all possible “suspects” along the way, as the students of the school reveal their characters through song. The show featured original dialogue from Co-Directors Kelly Miller and Natalie Fabian, interspersed with classic musical theatre show tunes from musicals like Curtains, Annie, A Chorus Line, The Producers, The Drowsy Chaperone, Nice Work If You Can Get It, Mame, and Annie Get Your Gun. The closing ensemble number was an original piece written

This is the Garden City Pool in the late 1970’s. The pool opened in 1957 and so it is about 20 years old in this photo. It looks pretty much as it did when it opened with the original diving boards. However, one of the lower diving boards on the far right was replaced in the 1970’s with a small slide. In the 1990’s the pool went through a major renovation which included removing the diving boards in the main pool and replacing them with today’s large slide. However, back in the day I can remember doing “can openers” off the high dive to see how high we could make the splash in the 12 foot deep water.. The idea was to get it higher than the railings on the high dive. Yes, that actually was a “thing” back then. This photo was taken from the picnic area and gives a great view and I can remember many times sitting right there on the grass where that photo was taken, with a cherry Italian ice. Ah, summertime memories.

GC resident honored at Golf and Tennis Classic

North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center’s 21st annual Jonathan Krevat Memorial Golf & Tennis Classic was the place to be on Monday, June 19, at The Creek in Locust Valley. This year’s honoree, Garden City resident Dan Donnelly, Chief Executive Officer, Donnelly Mechanical Corporation, and longtime supporter of the Guidance Center, shares the exciting news: “It was an incredible day at The Creek, with great competition and camaraderie. I’m thrilled to announce that we exceeded our goal and raised over $200,000 to help the Guidance Center do its important work.”

Also, with the help of our outstanding auctioneer Jerry Loughran, we were able to raise an additional $15,000 for our Children’s Center at Nassau County Family Court. Donnelly, a Garden City resident, had created a new format to this year’s event, with four teams competing for the Krevat Cup: one from Garden City, with Donnelly as the team captain; one from Manhasset, with Mike Mondiello as captain; NYC captain Troy Slade; and East Coast team captain Michael Schnepper. “I’m proud to say that Team Manhasset won the Krevat Cup,” says

Mondiello, “but what’s most important is that our 200-plus guests put their all into raising such a large amount for the Guidance Center. In addition, everyone had a great time playing golf and tennis and socializing during an incredible steak and lobster dinner! And we were so fortunate that Mother Nature held off her wrath until everyone was indoors for the cocktail hour.” Event sponsors included: Diamond Sponsor Americana Manhasset; Silver Medal Sponsor Donnelly Mechanical Corp.; Bronze Medal Sponsor Jeff Krevat; Caddy Sponsor Bahnik Foundation; and Tees & Greens

Sponsors Susan & Peter Braverman, Compound Contracting Corp., Hucke and Associates and Mechanical Technologies. The dedicated members of the Golf & Tennis Committee were: Anthony Barbiero, Jared Beschel, Jack Bransfield, John Bransfield, John R. Buran, Rita Castagna, Inge Costa, Becky Creavin, Steven Dubb, Josephine Ewing, Patricia Janco-Tupper, Larry Jones, Mike Katz, Jeff Krevat, Nancy Lane, Jeremy Shao and Paul Vitale.

Mansions on Fifth Historic Hotel is Steps Away from Pittsburgh’s Top Cultural Attractions BY KAREN RUBIN

I must admit to relishing my stay in Pittsburgh’s Shadyside neighborhood, where I am staying at Mansions on Fifth, two mansion homes originally built in the early 1900s by Willis F. McCook, a prosperous attorney and legal counsel to steel and coke magnate Henry Clay Frick for himself, his wife Mary and their 10 children, that have been turned into a boutique hotel (see story, 8/4). The neighborhood was also home to most of the city’s (and therefore, the nation’s) leading industrialists, innovators and bankers, including George Westinghouse, Henry Clay Frick, Andrew Mellon, Andrew Carnegie and the rest of Pittsburgh’s exceptionally wealthy and powerful families of the era, and boasts stunning mansions, churches as well as some of the city’s most important cultural attractions. Staying at the mansion, you really feel part of that whole privileged Gilded Age society. The guilty pleasure of feeling like an industrial titan for a day. A young woman from the hotel spends a lot of time with me suggesting how to best spend my afternoon exploring. It turns out, the hotel (a true mansion) is only a short walk to the Carnegie Museum of Art. She also tells me about the Cathedral of Learning a

Mansions on Fifth Historic Hotel is Steps Away from Pittsburgh’s Top Cultural Attractions

Continued from page D1 few blocks beyond, in what is technically the Oakland neighborhood. I set off for the short walk to Carnegie Museum of Art (it is attached to the Carnegie Museum of National History, two of four Carnegie museums; the others are the Carnegie Museum of Science and the Warhol Museum, downtown), dazzled when I pass the neighboring mansions along Fifth Avenue. It reminds me of Newport or Palm Beach. The Carnegie Museum of Art is arguably

the first museum of contemporary art in the United States, collecting the “Old Masters of tomorrow” since the inception of the Carnegie International in 1896 – held at various times, from which much of the present museum’s collection came (there are notes that say if the painting was in an exposition). “While most art museums founded at the turn of the century focused on collections of well-known masters, Andrew Carnegie envisioned a museum collection consisting of the ‘Old Masters of tomorrow.’ In 1896, he initiated a series of exhibitions of contemporary

art and proposed that the museum’s paintings collection be formed through purchases from this series. Carnegie, thereby, founded what is arguably the first museum of modern art in the United States. Early acquisitions of works by such artists as Winslow Homer, James McNeill Whistler, and Camille Pissarro laid the foundation for a collection that today is distinguished in American art from the mid-19th century to the present, in French Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings, and in significant late-20th-century works. Today the International remains an important source for the museum’s acquisitions of contemporary art. Presented every three to five years, it features works by contemporary artists from around the globe.” It is a stunning collection – much of it coming out of annual Carnegie International Art Expositions, or from other important benefactors including Mellon and Scaife. Some of the galleries are arranged much like those historic expositions, with multi-levels of paintings; some of the rooms are more intimate, like private collections, and some are more institutional. The notes and themes that accompany the rooms and individual pieces are wonderful and insightful. Just about every artist of note is represented with at least one piece – including an exemplary collection of Impressionists and PostImpressionists. I take particular note of Childe Hassam’s snow scene, “Fifth Avenue in Winter,” of New York City, painted circa 1892, when here I am on Fifth Avenue, Pittsburgh. The entire museum, though, is a reminder of how an economy that is designed to bestow

such riches on a small segment, at the expense of the vast majority produces a society in which “the public” depends on the kindness and charity of the ultra-wealthy. This juxtaposition was absolutely clear in one room where the massive (18 feet high and 26 feet long) gilded and lacquered relief, The Chariot of Aurora, takes up an entire wall. The stunning example of Art Deco was a gift of the renowned collector Frederick K. Koch in 1994 (brother of billionaires Charles and David Koch, who have their names on the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Smithsonian, PBS, and scores others, as well as significant donors to political candidates and entities). Just next door is a room devoted to Pittsburgh artists, including Raymond Simboli, whose “Pinkerton Riot” depicting the Homestead Strike at the Carnegie & Frick steel mills so brutally put down in 1892, uses the dress is of the 1940s. Another artist, Sam Rosenberg, similarly paints from the perspective of working class Pittsburghers in such stark contrast. I set out for the Cathedral of Learning and find myself in the Carnegie Library, another cathedral of Learning, just across the street from the academic tower. Truly an inspiring place, Pittsburgh’s Cathedral of Learning looms large over the city – in fact, I am told, the largest academic structure in North America. It is part of the University of Pittsburgh which “was well on the way to becoming an acropolis of neoclassical buildings on an Oakland hillside when John G. Bowman became the University’s 10th chancellor in 1921. In those years following World War I, student enrollment had dramatically increased,

causing a critical shortage of space. A 14-acre plot known as Frick Acres, which housed residences, gardens, and tennis courts, became the focus of Dr. Bowman’s plans to erect a monumental building. A structure expanding upward, though unorthodox, would solve the growing University’s problems of space and distance. More important, a tower would be a visible inspiration to all who approached the city. It would carry the message that education was the result of aspiring to great heights. The parallel lines of the truncated Gothic form, never meeting, would imply that learning is unending. The sweeping proportions would symbolize the spirit and achievement of Pittsburgh. Architect Charles Z. Klauder translated these concepts into drawings that guided the placement of steel and stone.” Chancellor John Gabbert Bowman, himself, offered the reasoning behind designing such a dramatic tower: “The building was to be more than a schoolhouse; it was to be a symbol of the life that Pittsburgh through the years had wanted to live. It was to make visible something of the spirit that was in the hearts of pioneers as, long ago, they sat in their log cabins and thought by candlelight of the great city that would sometime spread out beyond their three rivers and that even they were starting to build.” The Cathedral of Learning is as much a monument to the immigrants who flooded its halls in their quest for education as a ticket to the American Dream. Following World War I, Chancellor Bowman was charged with developing a great university in a city richly populated with firstgeneration immigrant families. He wanted to provide students with unique classrooms which would reflect a highly-creative period in the motherlands of Pittsburgh’s new citizens. He conceived the idea of inviting community representatives of diverse nations to plan and

build classrooms depicting an era or aspect of the heritage they had brought to America – known today as the Nationality Rooms – appointing Ruth Crawford Mitchell as his special assistant. It took 30 years. At the Cathedral of Learning, I seek out the “Nationality Rooms” – each one for a different nationality, such as Irish, Hungarian, Polish, Armenian, of ethnic groups who settled in Allegheny County. Rooms were subsequently added – like the Israel Room, in 1987 after a 30-year hiatus, which is modeled after a 1st-century stone dwelling in Galilee. Unfortunately, when I get to there, the rooms are locked for the weekend, but I get to peek through peep-holes to the Irish room (the other rooms have peep holes much too high). Members of Quo Vadis, a student organization, conduct guided tours for nearly 30,000 visitors each year. Special interpretations are adapted for children, senior citizens, the handicapped, and groups with special interests such as architecture, interior design, art, mythology, or religion. (see http://www. nationalityrooms.pitt.edu/content/touringoptions-requesting-group-tours ). Pittsburgh Neighborhoods Shadyside has been Pittsburgh’s premier upscale address for more than a century. It is fairly obvious that this was once home to Pittsburgh’s robber barons – who could enjoy the clean, cool air well away from the choking smoke belching from their steel mills that shrouded the rest of the city - and now features a legacy of stunning housing on leafy green streets, awe-inspiring churches, and two active and growing business districts (Walnut Street and Ellsworth Avenue) with retail stores and eating and drinking establishments, including several that are considered among the best in

Fortieth wedding anniversary BY JIM CONNORS Sunday, July 9th, marked the fortieth anniversary of my wedding. Time to celebrate and do what? After some thought, my wife and I decided to revisit our original home and environs where it all took place. Our first home was an apartment rental in fashionable Riverdale, an upper class residential area in the northwest section of the Bronx. We lived there for a period of a little less than three years. My wife is a Bronx native and at the time of our wedding was a probation worker for Westchester County. Her office was in Yonkers, a short distance from Riverdale. I was a teacher at Baldwin High School on Long Island. We talked of future plans of some day getting a residence convenient to both of us. Our daughter was born in Riverdale and so it holds many fond memories of

the origin of our marriage and family. On a typical Sunday in Riverdale after Mass at the Visitation Roman Catholic Church, where we were married, we would visit a local eatery known as the Riverdale Diner for some breakfast or lunch. The Riverdale Diner is still at the same location. It has been expanded and has remained very popular. A check of the Internet indicated it was rated four and a half stars. It was crowded with a good cross section of patrons. We found the menu to our liking and the service to be excellent. My wife is inclined by nature to be gregarious and let it be known that we were celebrating our wedding anniversary . Once that became known, the diner workers couldn’t do enough for us including giving us a free wedding cake. After a very satisfying meal, we set out to visit other familiar places of interest. The first was our old apartment rental. It is now known as the

Dorchester with an attractive green awning crowning its extensive granite and brick well designed structure. It has become an expensive co-op building offering a variety of apartments for sale. We visited the Visitation Church where we were married on July 9, 1977. It is right outside of the extensive Van Cortland fields and has not changed a great deal. We toured the old neighborhood and found that the Bronx and Riverdale had aged well and looked clean and well maintained. Riverdale is the home of two outstanding independent schools of learning. Horace Mann is an elite college preparatory school founded in 1887. It is reputed to be the second most expensive private school in New York City. One of its better known alumni is former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer, 54th Governor of New York in 2007. Manhattan College is a private inde-

pendent Catholic liberal arts college in Riverdale that was founded in 1853. It is highly rated and said to be among the best colleges in New York. My wife and I are both graduates of Manhattan College. I graduated in 1959 with a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and my wife in 1970 with a Master’s degree. I attended Manhattan College on a sports scholarship for which I am forever grateful. No trip to Riverdale would be complete without a tour of Manhattan College. We were able to tour the college and to stay a while as a courtesy offered by a security guard. The campus was in excellent shape and indicated a number of upgrades. The library has been expanded and displayed the latest innovations in technology. The day was a very enjoyable one for my wife and me, full of nostalgia and pleasant memories. It was very nice to be able to spend some time and be able to speak well of our original home.

Leaving the Country? Read This Booklet! BY TOM MARGENAU

I discussed this issue about six months ago. But for some reason, my email inbox continues to be crammed with questions from older folks who say they are planning to move overseas and want to know what happens with their Social Security benefits once they pack their bags and head to some exotic foreign locale. Maybe some people are starting to make good on their pledges to leave the country if Donald Trump was elected president. Or perhaps others see some of the same websites I do that entice you with headlines similar to this one I recently read: “Live like royalty on your Social Security check in Thailand!” Anyone planning to do that needs to read a booklet that the Social Security Administration produces called Social Security -- Your payments while you are outside the United States. You can find it online at SSA’s website. Just click the “Publications” link near the bottom of the homepage. Once there, pull down the “Topics” menu and you’ll find the booklet under the “General Information” section. By reading that publication, you will learn that if you are a U.S. citizen, the rules are pretty simple. You can get your Social Security benefits almost anywhere in the world. The Treasury Department doesn’t allow any federal government checks to be sent to North Korea or Cuba. And there are Social Security restrictions that prevent benefits from being sent to Vietnam and most of the republics that formerly made up the Soviet Union (places like Belarus, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, etc.). There are some exceptions to those Social Security restrictions, if any of those remote places are beckoning you in retirement. If you are not a U.S. citizen, but you have lived in this country legally and worked and earned Social Security benefits, then the rules get a little more complicated. I will briefly explain some of them. If you are citizen of one of the 23 countries that have Social Security treaty agreements with the U.S. (they are listed in the aforementioned booklet), then you also can get your benefits anywhere in the world -- with the same restrictions that apply to U.S. citizens outlined above. You’ll find the list of countries on page five of the booklet. The list includes most European countries as well as places like Israel, Australia, Japan and South Korea. Page six of the booklet has another list of countries. If you are a citizen of one of those countries, you can get your Social Security benefits while living outside the U.S., but only if you are receiving Social Security retirement or disability benefits. If you get Social Security dependent or survivors benefits, then the rules really get messy

-- way too complicated to explain in the short space of this column. Please refer to the booklet. If you are not a citizen of one of the countries listed on pages five and six of the booklet but you are receiving U.S. Social Security benefits, then those benefits will most likely stop once you have been outside the country for more than six months. If you are getting Social Security benefits while living overseas, then you are generally subject to the same rules and regulations that apply to Social Security beneficiaries in the United States. And some of the rules are even more restrictive. For example, there is an earnings penalty that applies to any Social Security beneficiary in this country who is under age 66 and making more than about $17,000 per year. But if you are under age 66 and living overseas, you won’t get your Social Security check for any month you work more than 45 hours, no matter how much money you make. There are exceptions to this rule. The most common is this: If you work for a U.S. corporation overseas, then you are subject to the more lenient earnings penalty rules that apply to U.S. residents. If you are getting Social Security disability benefits while living overseas, the same rules apply to you as apply to people living in this country. That means, for example, that your claim will be periodically reviewed to make sure you are still disabled. If you are a U.S. citizen living overseas, the benefits you receive are subject to the same income tax payments that apply to U.S. residents. If you are not a U.S. citizen, then SSA will automatically withhold a portion of your benefits to cover possible tax obligations -- although there are some exceptions to that rule. Most people living overseas have their benefits sent by direct deposit to a bank in the country where they are living. On page 27 of the booklet mentioned earlier, there is a long list of countries that have an international direct deposit treaty agreement with the United States. Assuming you have moved to one of those countries, you will have no problem getting your benefits electronically. If you need to conduct some kind of Social Security business once you are living overseas, obviously you can’t drive across town and visit your local Social Security office. But every U.S. embassy and consulate has a person on staff who is trained to handle Social Security business. Or, assuming you have internet access, you can use SSA’s website. One final point. Your Medicare coverage only works while you are living in the United States. So if you move to a foreign country, and think you will be there for good, you might as well cancel

the parts of Medicare for which you pay a monthly premium. These are usually Part B (medical insurance) and Part D (drug insurance). Other than that: Bon voyage! And send me a postcard from one of those

Mansions on Fifth Historic Hotel is Steps Away from Pittsburgh’s Top Cultural Attractions C ontinued from page D3

the city. Shadyside is also home to Carnegie Mellon University, Chatham University, Shadyside Hospital of UPMC, and the Hillman Cancer Center. I take my bike for a spin around the neighborhood and am dazzled by the architecture. The large residential area includes beautifully restored Victorian mansions alongside modern homes and condos (I notice that many of the houses have lawn signs stating in three languages, “No matter where you are from, we are glad you’re our neighbor.”) Shadyside is also walking (or an easy bikeride) distance from two other distinctive Pittsburgh neighborhoods: Home to prestigious museums, world-class hospitals and universities and international cuisine, Oakland is considered the cultural, academic and medical center of Pittsburgh, where you will find the Carnegie Museums of Art and Natural History, the Carnegie Library and Cathedral of Learning, among other cultural venues. It is also one of Pittsburgh’s liveliest neighborhoods, with cool coffee shops, multi-cultural eateries and interesting specialty shops alongside grand architecture. Oakland offers all of the attractions of a major university in terms of concerts, lectures, theater and other entertainment, along with a wide variety of retail offerings, bookstores, restaurants and bars (ethnic and otherwise). (onlyinoakland. org) I am particularly intrigued as I drive to Mansions on Fifth from the highway, to pass a synagogue. This is Squirrel Hill, one of the

fastest growing sections of Pittsburgh, which I learn has also been a home to Pittsburgh’s Jewish community for many years. That history is reflected in the storefronts of the neighborhood’s two main business streets, Forbes Avenue and Forward Avenue, which feature a variety of grocery stores, retailers and restaurants honoring the Jewish heritage. Squirrel Hill is also one of Pittsburgh’s most delightfully diverse neighborhoods as well, with residents (many connected to nearby universities and hospitals) from all over the world, reflected in the diversity of the cuisine of the various restaurants and eateries. Five minutes from downtown Pittsburgh, Squirrel Hill combines tree lined residential streets, a bustling business district, internationally recognized educational institutions, and two large public parks spanning 1100 acres.

Keep that Garden Growing in the Fridge Plus More Great Reader Tips BY MARY HUNT

If you suffer the heartbreak of flabby celery, asparagus and herbs despite your best efforts to keep them fresh and lovely -at least for as long as it takes to use them up -- one simple change in the way you store them could make all the difference. You’ll read that and so much more in today’s post, all courtesy of your fellow EC readers! FRESHER LONGER. You are right about treating asparagus, celery and fresh herbs like cut flowers to preserve them, but you left out the step I learned during a brief spell in the floral trade: Trim the bottoms of the stalks first. Even when the bundles have been sitting in water at the grocer’s, they were left dry in transit and will have dried up enough at the cut ends to close off a lot of the capillary passages. Trimming to fresh green lets more water be pulled in to keep the stalks alive. I usually do that as soon as I get home; this helps to revive any stalks that have gotten a little flabby. -- Will (The exception to this is green onions, aka scallions, which should be stored in a plastic bag in a refrigerator crisper drawer. -- Mary) ROUGH IT UP. Instead of spending time and money to replace and install new wiper blades, renew them: Pinch a piece of sand-

paper between your thumb and forefinger. Run the sandpaper along the edge of the rubber blade, first on one side and then the other. This will renew the surface so it efficiently wipes the windshield. You can do this two or three times before a blade is completely spent and requires replacement. -- Walter CONDITIONER FOR SHAVING. I always have too much hair conditioner because I use very little compared to my shampoo. That means we always seem to accumulate half-full or mostly empty conditioner bottles in our bathroom. Add to that, I don’t like using soap (too drying) or shaving foam (too expensive) to shave my legs and underarms. I discovered that using conditioner works great as a shaving lotion! It makes for very smooth shaving, and my legs are soft and silky afterward. -- Mary B. BLANKET ROLLS. Most of us have heard about rolling your clothing when packing a suitcase. I also roll my blankets when storing them in my linen closet. They take up less space, and you can easily see each blanket and pull them out when needed. -- Jeannine WHERE ODORS HIDE. I remove the rubber gasket above the garbage disposal on a regular basis so I can clean its under-

side. That’s where particles of food accumulate and contribute to garbage disposal odor. Keeping it clean helps eliminate those odors. -- Fran HAIRSPRAY OVERSPRAY. If your bathroom mirror, countertop, wall, woodwork or floor get covered with hairspray like mine do, spray the surface with ordinary rubbing alcohol, and then follow with a damp cloth to wipe it away. That will remove the hairspray overspray -- even a stubborn accumulation -- and leave the areas sparkling clean. -- Justine FLIP ‘EM OVER. Store sour cream, cottage cheese, jelly and sauces upside down in the fridge to retain freshness and prevent mold. It’s a simple principle: The content of the jar creates its own seal against oxygen. -- Morgan Mary invites questions, comments and tips at mary@everydaycheapskate.com, or c/o Everyday Cheapskate, 12340 Seal Beach Blvd., Suite B-416, Seal Beach, CA 90740.

Summer time is a happy time for our friends from Little People’s Play School and Happy Time Play School who joined together for Summer Camp. The beach; H.A. Rey (Curious George) books; earth and space; & Eric Carle books were the themes for each of the 4 weeks of camp. Fun and games, arts and crafts, books, song and dance filled each day while we were indoors but by far the favorite time of day for all was when it was time to go outside! Smiles and laughter filled our playground as the children enjoyed swinging, sliding, catching bubbles, shooting balls, and riding cars. The learning and fun continue all year long for 2,3 & 4 year olds in both locations – Little People’s which is located on Nassau Blvd. & Stewart Ave. and Happy Time located on Dogwood Ave. & Fenworth Blvd. Call 516- 481-3585 for more information about our programs.

Garden City Public Schools Open Houses All seven of Garden City Public Schools will open their doors to students in less than a month – the first day of school is Tuesday, September 5th – and much work has been done this summer to freshen the buildings and fields in anticipation of the students’ return. Many of our students and parents appreciate the opportunity to tour the schools in advance of Opening Day. On Monday, August 28th and Tuesday, August 29th, parents and students are welcome to visit the school buildings. The district provides this opportunity in order to minimize the interruption to any last-minute cleaning, maintenance, and repair projects that need to take place before the first day of school. Garden City Public School’s 20172018 Calendar and Parent Guide has been posted to the district website under the maroon sidebar, “About Our District”: www.gardencity.k12.ny.us.

The district would like to thank the GC PTA’s 2017-2018 District Calendar Coordinator and PTA Past President Ronda D’Antonio and the GC PTA for their efforts in coordinating the daily school district calendar event information. Parents of current students will receive a hard copy of the calendar in the mail in late August; and a limited number of extra copies will be available in the Administration Building, 56 Cathedral Avenue, during regular business hours beginning in late August for non-parent residents. From the Board of Education, Administration, and the staff of Garden City Public Schools, please enjoy the last few weeks of summer.

Garden City Inferno capture the Long Island Cup Championship After suffering a heartbreaking loss in the U13 Premier Division title game last Fall, the Garden City Inferno set out on a mission in the Spring to capture the Long Island Cup Championship. The LI Cup, one of the largest single elimination soccer tournaments in the country, is played throughout the spring season. The team played in the major division, which is the most competitive division in this tournament. Garden City Inferno kicked off the LI Cup on April 8, 2017 with a 1-0 win against the Hauppauge Sparks. Their second victory on April 29th was also a one goal shutout over Northport/ Cow Harbor Blue, thereby sending Garden City Inferno to the semi-finals. In the semi-final game played on May 14th, Garden City Inferno showed their strength once again with a 2-0 victory against division rival Smithtown Panthers. In the Championship Game played on Father’s Day, Garden City Inferno faced the Patchogue Medford Extreme at Stonybrook University. Garden City Inferno believed they could win and came out on fire, defeating Patchogue Medford 2-0, thus capturing the Long Island Cup U13 Major Championship title! What a great Father’s Day gift for all of the Inferno dads! Inferno’s determined defense successfully thwarted Extreme’s incessant offensive attack. Goalkeeper Holly DiPalo turned in another stellar performance keeping her tournament shutout streak alive for the final game of the series. The speedy offense worked together to put points on the scoreboard with the two goals scored by Carla Curth and Maggie Moran. The talented girls on this winning Inferno team include: Aly Jeffrey, Ashley Dellolio, Bianca Trunfio, Caitlin McNaboe, Carla Curth, Elizabeth Crowley, Giselle, Ross, Gwen Liberopoulos, Holly DiPalo,

Kate Gambino, Kiely Maher, Kristen Hegarty, Maggie Moran, Meagan Handal, Meghan Rode, and Natalie Greiner. The team is led by the coaching direction of Kristi Jeffrey, John McNaboe, and trainer Jose Martinez. Congratulations GC Inferno! As a special note for this Garden City Inferno team, in their regular LIJSL

league play, they were once again bestowed the LIJSL Sportsmanship Award. This is the fifth time in its eight seasons together that this Inferno team has been acknowledged with this sportsmanship award. And, the team has achieved this honor every season since the Fall of 2015. The team will proudly wear their Sportsmanship
