BY RIKKI MASSAND Decades ago, Village Trustee Bruce Torino served as a vol unteer firefighter and gained insights into firematics. His career in law has also expanded on that base of knowl edge, but ongoing discussions with Garden City’s fire chiefs have shaped his (and the Board of Trustees’) understanding of oper ations of Garden City’s all-volun teer fire department. The ‘Edgemere Firehouse Feasibility Study’ for the Edgemere Road/Stewart Avenue fire station, prepared by consul tants Old Structures Engineering, was presented to Village of Garden City trustees during a special meeting held on Tuesday, August 9. Old Structures Engineering was hired by the board at a cost of $45,000 “to provide engineer ing investigation and analysis, to determine and then design the feasible extent of alteration to the existing building and the poten tialInadditions.”aninterview with The Garden City News Trustee Torino explained that the Board of Trustees and fire chiefs will still See page 40

“We can’t just be good September to June,” he conclud ed.There were no citizen questions or comments on this portion of the meeting. The Board then discussed the community’s options for filling the Board’s current vacant seat, following former Trustee Matthew Wakeham decision to resign suddenly in late July after serving since 2020.

Trustee: Looking at fire safety needs See page 41 Matthew McCoy of Tullamore Road asked friends and family for backpacks and school supplies for his 18th birthday in lieu of a birthday gift. With the help and support of his family and friends, Matthew collected 46 backpacks and many pounds of school supplies for the INN in Hempstead. This is an annual backpack collection that Matty has been sponsoring since his 8th birthday!

At Tuesday night’s Board of Education meeting, the District Wide Safety Plan and discussions around how to go about filling former Trustee Matthew Wakeham’s now vacant seat took focus. Summer building project status updates were also detailed, among other reports. As a refresher, the Board is obligated to review and adopt the District Wide Safety Plan no later than September 1st each year. The plan was first reviewed by the District’s safety committee back in May, which then moved online for a 30 day public comment period in the last month. The safety committee meeting includes 20+ people who togeth er account for all buildings, PTAs, non-public schools, police departments, security consultants and more. The plan’s template is provided by Nassau BOCES, the organi zation that coordinates this across all districts in Nassau County.Hiring and administrative staff changes were the only made to the safety plan since it was last discussed at the Board’s July reorganizational meeting. All changes are reflected within the latest version available on the Board of Education’s website. Trustee William (Billy) O’Donohue reminded the Board and community, “At the last meeting, I believe there was a grandmother who was not happy about the security of the SCOPE program at the high school. Artie and I met with our security provider, who now has my direct line, and Dr. Sinha after the last meeting and the SCOPE situation was resolved quickly.”

At the Garden City Village Board meeting scheduled for August 18th (which is past our deadline for this week’s issue) the Board was planning to look at setting a date for the public referendum on St. Paul’s. There was some concern this week that the Board would set a date that would be before the St. Paul’s commit tee had completed its work. However, later in the week it did appear that the Board of Trustees would collaborate with the committee to set a date for the vote that would allow residents to have enough time to learn about the different proposals. Even though the initial plan was to have the vote in the fall, that time frame should not be rigid. If the committee needs a few more months to finish its work, it’s better to push the date back a bit than to work with partial informa tion. What’s another few months after almost thirty years of logjam? Among other things, the committee is still working on coming up with cost estimates for the various scenarios, which is vital information for residents to make informed choices.

The Mar-a-lago Raid

THE VIEW FROM HERE

There are certainly more ques tions than answers concerning the FBI’s all day raid of former President Donald Trump’s estate in Mar-aLago, Florida on August 8. In general outline, we know that the agents came to Mr. Trump’s estate and, pursuant to a very broad subpoena approved by a federal mag istrate judge, seized many boxes of documents, including boxes labeled secret or classified, that Mr. Trump had caused to be moved to Mar-aLago. The documents also covered matters of seeming lesser signifi cance, including papers related to Roger Stone’s pardon. The raid fol lowed negotiations concerning clas sified documents in Mr. Trump’s possession and the prior turnover of such materials by Mr. Trump’s office and the placement of a bigger lock on a room housing documents. A rumor was floated that some documents related to "nuclear secrets", but this has not been substantiated. While there is a major issue of proportionality in the raids almost all of the seized documents (exclud ing, for example, Mr. Trump’s pass ports) did in fact belong to the federal government. The issues of privilege, at least for the most part, relate to confidentiality rather than owner ship.Nevertheless, the action by the FBI has inflamed Mr. Trump and many of his supporters, who believe that this is another example of the “deep state” out to get Mr. Trump. They point, for example, to the use by authorities in 2016 of the discredited Steele dossier as a basis for obtaining FISA court warrants against mem bers of his campaign. To be clear, none of this anger on the right in any way justifies physical attacks or threats against law enforcement. There are a number of strange aspects to this matter. First, if Mr. Trump’s document retention was a big threat to national security, why did it take 18 months for the FBI to act? Second, assuming as Attorney General Merrick Garland claims, he did not let President Biden know of the raid, why was that if the national security stakes were so high? I get back to the initial prem ise of this column: we really lack information on this matter. If, for example, there is credible evidence that Mr. Trump were sharing secret documents with agents of a foreign power, or was selling or commercial ly exploiting the documents, there would be ample justification for the raid, and indeed for criminal pros ecution of Mr. Trump and severe punishment if found guilty. On the other hand, a document dispute with the National Archives does not seem nearly sufficient for drastic action of this kind. This is especially true after the decision not to prosecute (or raid the premises of) Hillary Clinton, who was retaining numerous clas sified and secret documents on a homebred server in her residence. Of course, one plausible theory, from National Review columnist and former federal prosecutor, Andy McCarthy, is that the document dis pute is being used in effect as a pre text in order to find documents in Mr. Trump’s possession related to the ongoing January 6 investigation. In Mr. McCarthy’s view, the target are documents, if they exist, that show knowledge by Mr. Trump that he lost the election and his election law theories were bogus. This is a serious matter, and President Biden’s Justice Department should not be meddling in the next election by taking unnec essary action against a very likely potential opponent of Mr. Biden. On the other hand, legitimate national security concerns must be addressed. Under the circumstances, proba bly the most reasonable way of deal ing with this matter is by permit ting public disclosure of the affidavit presented to the magistrate issuing the warrant explaining the rationale for the seizure of property. While such an affidavit is not customarily released since it presents a roadmap of the government’s case to poten tial criminal defendants, this seems like an appropriate time to make an exception in light of the furor this raid has produced. Let’s see what the search on August 8 was about, and then take it from there.

I took this photograph in April of 2000 from the top of the Garden City Hotel looking north. Most people never see this little part of Garden City that exists between the Wyndham condos. In the foreground is a small building that hous es a gym and heated indoor swimming pool. There is also a large room to hold events. Beyond that is a man-made pond with fountains that keep the water moving. The houses in the distance are along Ninth Street. Today, 22 years later, the landscaping around the pond and along Ninth Street have really grown up and this scene has changed quite a lot. coordinator

Our BoatBikeTours route on Day 4 of our Bruges-Amsterdam bike tour into Antwerp would normally involve going through an interest ing 500-meter long tunnel. But our leader, Arnold Thurko, tells us that the 1930s-vintage elevators broke and they haven’t been able to find the spare parts to fix it, so we ride over a bridge and take a ferry into the city instead, which proves a delightful ride with gorgeous views of the city and a fun (quick) ferry ride. We park our bikes (Arnold stays with them) and go off with our leader, Corrie Stein, for a guided walking tour of Antwerp’s historic city center. Antwerp’s Golden Age was the 1500s (earlier than Amsterdam), largely because of the advantage its Suikerrui (canal) provided traders by connecting the city to the sea. (Today it is closed off but you can visit the De Ruien, the underground waterway. You get to walk along old vaulted ceil ings, narrow canals, bridges, sewers and sluices, and see the city’s under belly. You can visit The Ruien by booking a guided group walk, walk on your own with an interactive tablet at fixed times or navigate a small sec tion of The Ruien by boat. Go to www. deruien.be). I have this on top of my list for a return visit to Antwerp. Antwerp was apparently spared bombing in World War II. As a result, we can still marvel at the City Hall, which dates from 1560, and a mag nificent square ringed with Guild Houses, one for each guild and each with its own decoration. The square has as its center the Silvius Brabo statue, a mythical Roman soldier. According to leg end, Corrie relates, a giant, Druon Antigoon, who lived on river, would demand a toll from people who want ed to pass the bridge over the river Scheldt. If they refused, the giant would cut off their hand and throw it into the river. Brabo killed the giant, cut off his hand and threw it into the river. This is supposed to have been the origin of the city’s name, Antwerp, translated as “hand throw.” We walk over to the Cathedral of Our Lady, built 1550-1800 in Gothic style. The belfry, 1339 meters high is included in the Belfries of Belgium and France list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The cathedral possesses some major works of art: including three major works by Baroque painter Peter Paul Rubens (two of which were confiscated by Napoleon and moved to France but returned to the Cathedral in the 19th century). We get back on our bikes and ride to where our ship, the Princesse Royal, is tied up at the dock, and walk a few blocks away to the Red Star Museum, which BoatBikeTours has arranged for us to visit. This is a fascinating museum that is a kind of bookend to our Ellis Island Immigration Museum in New York City. Indeed, Ellis Island is where 2 million Europeans who boarded the Red Star Lines at Antwerp to come to America would have wound up. But this museum does more - it tells the age-old story of migration through individual people, going back to the Neanderthal, and why migration is such a fundamental quality of being human.The commentary doesn’t shy away from condemning phrases (that are factually true) – for example, describing the brutal, impoverished conditions these desperate people were escaping, or taken by force as slaves, or fleeing persecution, and up to modern day anti-immigrant policies and speech that has lead to the plight of so many undocumented immigrants.Between 1892 and 1954, 12 mil lion immigrants came through Ellis Island, with a whopping 1,004,756 entering the United States in 1907 alone. Of these, only 2% were turned away (and if were sent back, it was at Red Star’s expense, which is why, we learn, the line was so very scrupulous with their own medical evaluations) Anti-immigrant fervor took hold in the United States after World War I; the Great Depression, effective ly brought an end to migration to America. By then, almost 20 million Europeans had emigrated to America – settling the West, populating the factories of new Industrial cities. The Red Star Line ceased sailing in 1934. The exhibits are candid about the difference in how the wealthy trav eled in such luxury and style com pared to those in steerage. You get to see how passengers in different classes were treated – ‘livid’ – don’t disguise how tough steerage was (but compared to what leaving?). The inescapable conclusion that steerage class was actually key to the compa ny’s revenue and profit. The exhibits are remarkably per sonal. It is amazing to see these old photos and recognize the buildings, to see postcards, passports, ID papers, and personal effects. What I loved most is the display on the first floor which so vividly conveys the central theme: there has always been migration, from begin ning of man – and they personalize with one representative person for each era – even Neanderthal. The museum shows that migra tion is innate to being human. Interestingly, for many, Antwerp

PLACES,

The original, ornately decorat ed entrance gate to the town is where Napoleon entered Dordrecht, Corrie says. Walking down a cobblestone street, I see stolpersteine (“stumbling stones”) - bronze plaques embedded in the side walk as a memorial to the Jewish fam ilies who were taken from their home during the Holocaust. There are stolp ersteines to commemorate the victims of the Nazi regime in more than 1,100 locations in 17 European countries We come to what seems a simple courtyard of a 1275 Augustine monas tery, but here, in 1572, a meeting was held to decide to revolt against Philip of Spain and to choose William of Orange as the leader. “The Netherlands was born in Dordrecht,” Corrie tells us. “Netherlands formed after a revolt against Spain. It started with represen tatives choosing William of Orange as leader and agreeing to fight for freedom – a political moment – a thought out idea – freedom of religion,” which took place right here. (It sounds so much like the Continental Congress of 1776; Dordrecht in 1572 was Philadelphia in 1776.) By now, darkness has all but descend ed. We put on our bike lights, and ride back to the ship, everyone giggling over how we look like a line of fireflies.

BY CHARLYN FARGO Healthy eating, working out daily, losing weight -- it’s all in the habits, the tiny little habits that add up over time to be big Jameshabits.Clear, author of “Atomic Hab its: Tiny Changes, Remarkable Results,” defines a habit as a routine or behav ior that is performed regularly -- and in many cases, automatically. Changes that seem small and unimportant at first will compound into remarkable re sults if you’re willing to stick with them over time, he writes. Clear isn’t talking specifically about healthy eating habits, but good habits overall. When it comes to eating and working out, this approach can help to achieve remarkable results. As we assess our own habits when it comes to eating or exercising, here are tips for breaking some bad habits and creating good habits: No. 1: Reduce exposure. If you don’t want to keep sabotaging your diet with dessert, don’t bring the chocolate chip cookies and ice cream home. Instead, pack your cart with fruits and vegeta bles and whole grains. Prep meals and snacks ahead so there isn’t the tempta tion to grab fast food. No. 2: Make it unattractive. Put a pic ture of yourself at the weight you were happiest at on the refrigerator. Add your steps and goals to get there. No. 3: Make it difficult. Increase the number of steps between you and un healthy eating. And conversely, make it easier to eat healthier. Have a scale on the kitchen counter to weigh portions. Make it easier to go to the gym or work out at home. No. 4: Make it unsatisfying. Working out with a friend increases accountabil ity. Letting a friend know you’re trying to lose weight can help motivate you. No. 5: Make it obvious. Keep the cutup fruit and vegetables in the front of the refrigerator. Make a big salad that you can portion and take to work. No. 6: Make it easy. Invest in purchas es that can help you lock in the right behaviors. Consider a bento box to take your lunch. Buy an ice pack or two to keep lunches cold. Can you invest in a treadmill at home to take the excuses out of going to the gym or walking in in clement weather? No. 7: Use a habit tracker. Keep track of your workout streak or days without dessert to motivate you to continue to avoid “breaking the chain.” No. 8: Never miss twice. When you miss a day of working out or eating healthy, get back on track the next day. No. 9: Master the decisive moment. Optimize small choices -- choosing a fruit cup over french fries or a sal ad with a vinaigrette dressing over a burger or a grilled pork tenderloin over breaded and fried -- to achieve your goal of healthier eating. No. 10: Use bundling to your advan tage. Pair an action you want to do, like reading a book, with an action you need to do, like walking on the treadmill. Before long, you’ll have built good habits into your daily routine. Q and A Q: What should I pack in my kids’

Dordrecht: Birthplace of Holland Day 5 on our BoatBikeTours trip, we sail in the early morning from Antwerp to Kreekrak and cycle 23 miles to Tholen (new harbor), where our ship, Princesse Royal, meets us to sail on to Dordrecht – not places that I would bet most of us have ever heard of before. We stop to visit to the Canadian war cemetery where there are 80 graves of Canadian soldiers who fought trying to free Netherlands from the Nazis. “They try to give the graves a face,” so each one is personalized.Wehaveour lunch at Fort De Roovere, built in 1628, the largest of four forts that formed the West-Brabantse Waterline, a water-based defensive forti fication. It is located along the edge of a sandy embankment between Bergen op Zoom and Steenbergen and built during the Eighty Years’ War (1568-1648) Dutch revolt against Spanish rule. After the fall of the French Empire of Napoleon in 1816, Fort de Roovere no longer had a military purpose and was reclaimed by nature. It was designat ed a national monument in 1975. The earthen-fortress was restored in 2010 as much as possible to its original state, along the same design configuration as in 1784, and today is a lovely park where I watch dragon flies on a lily pond, and climb an interesting modern tower to get a sense of how, in a siege, the approach ing enemy forces could be bombarded from protruding bastions by batteries of cannon..Webike into a charming village of Tholen which has a surprising windmill (converted to a restaurant). We meet the ship here and spend a pleasant afternoon sailing to Dordrecht, going through locks which I learn is not to level the water but to keep salt water separate from fresh so the land can be farmed. Apparently, it’s also an interest ing water defense system – areas could be flooded to stop an invader. This day proves a nice, relaxing com bination of cycling and sailing, but the highlight is yet to come. We are supposed to dock at the his toric city of Dordrecht, but there is an important historic steam-engine ship festival about to get underway and the harbormaster has refused to let us dock there. So Captain Roy van der Veen finds a spot at a boat-building marina across the river. Our leader, Corrie Stein, not to be deterred because we can’t just walk off the ship into the historic center, orga nizes a ride back into Dordrecht for her guided walking tour because this is a city that is not to be missed. Dordrecht, as I learn, is like our Philadelphia in 1776, and this place and this adventure proves to be a highlight of our trip. Here we also get to see the extraor dinary infrastructure for bikes – to get up/down the very high bridge, there is actually a track and even an escalator for the bike, as well as dedicated path on the highway Dordrechtbridge.is800 years old, the oldest city of Holland (not Netherlands), with a population of 120,000 and some 900 mon uments.

WRITER’S CORNER 3 Discovery202219,August

I was a little uncomfortable as I crossed the street in response to his friendly wave, but as I came closer I was relieved when I recognized that my friendly waver was Michael’s father, Michael being one of the “Rich Kids” I knew back in the day. The son was the mirror image of his father, right down to his impeccable sense of discernment, a characteristic that in the father’s case was immediately apparent, a trait that I had recalled his son had displayed at a remarkably early age. At that time, I had not seen Michael in a long time. I never did know Michael well as even as a young boy he was quiet and somewhat reserved. But I did talk with him and found him pleasant to be with. It was Michael’s very adult like posture, his perceptible sense of his being totally at ease within the frame work of his environment that immedi ately struck me when I first met him. Eventually, I found Michael to be always remarkably mature. I felt that he had earned a kind of scholarship into adulthood as he had apparently managed to bypass childhood altogeth er. Yet from the beginning I did not take his composed manner as being aloof or unfriendly. I took Michael for who and what he was. However, I did recognize his reserved manner as being a cut above the norm and surprising ly, I ended up thinking that the father looked like the son rather than the reverse.Mr.Taylor began the conversation by saying that he had an extra ticket to President Kennedy’s birthday party cel ebration being held at Madison Square Garden a week or so later and that it was mine if I could be available to join the two of them. I knew of the event as it was in all of the papers and on televi sion“Michaelnews. would love to have you come with us,” he said in a welcoming manner. Then he added with his warm encompassing smile, “And so would I. I replied that I was pleased to be invited and arrangements were quick ly made for me to meet them in their spacious apartment prior to taking the train into Actually,Manhattan.atfirstI had little inter est in the affair as I assumed that I would have to endure a little take on how Michael had won a scholarship to Harvard and was on the fast track to becoming a vice-president in his father’s law firm or something like that. Yet, I was curious about the event and after a little thought, I recognized that Michael did not have an ounce of that need to preen in him, an assumption I later found to be correct. I did wonder why he would save this ticket for me and not one of Michael’s closer friends that I assumed he must have made after all these years of our separation. When I came home and told my fami ly, they were thrilled that I was going to see the president, whom my mother in particular regarded as a kind of deity. Some of their enthusiasm must have weaned its way off onto me, because as the day came closer, I began to look forward to the event. I didn’t give much thought as to how Mr. Tayler came in possession of these seats, but I had read in the Daily News that tickets cost an outrageous sum of money, which I will admit added to the allure of my going to the event. We arrived early and were seated in front of the dais area which quickly began to fill up. Yet, we were hardly settled in our seats when Mr. Taylor stood up and motioned for us to follow him as he had apparently spotted a few prime-viewing seats closer to the dais area that he assumed – correctly as it turned out - would remain empty as the event was about to begin. I was glad that I thought of wearing a suit and tie as I followed them. No male in that time would go to a Broadway play or to an affair like this one without being appro priately dressed in a suit and tie. I noticed that Mr. Taylor moved in a confident manner that implied that it was his right to move up a notch or two, rather than his giving the appearance that we were sneaking up to these seats that were of a different color than the seats we had just left. There was noth ing furtive or hesitant in his manner as he made his move. His assumption that he would not be interrupted was reflected in the formal manner of his demeanor, an inbred temperament that contrasted with that of mine when we kids would move up to the box seats from the General Admission section in Ebbets Field around the third inning, slyly looking behind us to see if we had caught the attention of an usher, con sciously aware that we did not belong there, and for that very reason probably giving ourselves away. I understood that my father also pro jected a discernible air of confidence, but his self-assuredness was one that was projected in a completely different manner than that of Mr. Taylor’s. Mr. Taylor had both the look and manner that comes from a fully devel oped sense of entitlement, an asset total ly separate from the mere appearance of physical self-confidence that my father projected.

A birthday era

BY THOMASPartBRENNAN1 As the decade of the fifties wound down, there was an unexpressed yet shared understanding that we were now about to enter into a more modern era of progress and opportunity; one that just might propel us into the sec ond half of the twentieth century with a renewed sense of optimism. This hope ful reaction to the end of one decade and the beginning of another was palpable. I could feel this rising tide of emotion that only grew as the waning days of the fifties came to an end. There was a solid basis for our embrace of the favorable picture of what the future might hold even though other conditions within the framework of our society, looming below the sight of our view, were not fully appreciated. The Second World War had slipped fur ther into the background finding a slot alongside the Depression as an event that was once vital and all-consuming in its impact. But in our view, these sig nificant events had finally become rec ognized as a written sentence on a page in the past tense, significant, worth not ing, but still not an essential part of our present as these events would forever be for our parents. The very early years of the new decade seemed propelled by the ener gy flow and vigor that was so much a part of the image projected by the newly elected President Kennedy and his glamorous wife Jackie. Everything about them seemed so modern and self-assured, further propelling the impression that our own estimate of our future could be more positive in its outlook. I held the impression that they came out of the blue. The two of them surged onto our black and white TV screens with a separate kind of self-as sured confidence, looking like all of this newly arrived potential was expected of them, as if they were waiting on the sidelines for the conditions to be right for their entrance onto the scene. The new president had a high-end witty repartee that flowed with a smile that seemed so much a part of his nat ural makeup. I recognized that he appeared to be slyly aware of his charis ma, his innate ability to captivate. The fact that the president was Catholic, and of Irish descent, gave me a heightened sense of my own recognition that I was entering into a new phase of life, one whose doors were opened a little wider during his brief term in office. I would soon have an occasion to see President Kennedy’s ability to captivate up close and personal, an opportunity that came about through the interven tion of one of my former “Rich Kids” connections whose families grew up on Plaza Street. In early May of 1962, while walking home from the Plaza Street IRT train station just after the 5:00 pm rush hour, I noticed a tall well-dressed man with thinning, wispy red hair who I vaguely recognized as having that noticeable Plaza Street bearing, which by then I was able to immediately discern even in my quick glance from across the street. I was surprised when he waved me over in a friendly manner, appearing as if he knew me and had posted himself there for that very purpose. This was a conclusion that at first confused me – a, “what do I say now?” kind of feeling.

Mistake No. 4: Making an isolated decision

CROSSWORD PUZZLE BY TOM MARGENAU

Mistake No. 2: Claiming benefits while still working This deals with the earnings penal ty that applies to Social Security bene ficiaries under full retirement age who are still working (usually part time). Calling this a “mistake that could cost you a fortune” is a big stretch. Almost all the people affected by this law are se niors working part time to supplement their Social Security checks and who try to keep their earnings under the pre scribed yearly limit (currently $19,560.) So, taking benefits while still working part time is oftentimes a good strategy and certainly not a costly mistake for almost all these older adults.

It is good advice to occasionally check your Social Security earnings re cord before you start claiming benefits. And the best way to do this is by check ing the Social Security Statement that the government periodically sends you. My experience tells me most people re ligiously do this, so including it here as a “common mistake” is quite a stretch. And if you find an error (which is very uncommon), it’s relatively easy to fix it. And even in the unlikely event you didn’t fix it, the missing earnings, as suming it’s for a year or so, might knock a few bucks off your monthly benefit. Certainly not a “fortune.”

Mistake No. 3: Not checking your earnings record

YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY

I was thinking about this today while I was playing one of my little morning word games on my iPad. (My wife and I have this pre-breakfast routine where we play a few online puzzles and games before serving up our scrambled eggs or cereal.) And while playing one of my word games, this teasing headline popped up: “Social Security mistakes that could cost you a fortune!” Because I’ve seen hundreds, if not thousands, of these come-ons over the years, I knew the story would be trotting out the same tired old teasers that older adults have been hounded by for the past 10 years or so. It’s all part of the “maximize your Social Security” craze that’s been all the rage. I’ve spent countless past col umns commenting on this hype. Here is my bottom-line message. There is noth ing wrong with trying to get the biggest return on your Social Security “invest ment.” I just don’t like all the scare sto ries and catchy headlines that would lead seniors to believe they are missing out on a “fortune.” This latest pop-up ad listed “seven mistakes you should avoid to maximize your Social Security checks.” Let’s go over them. Mistake No. 1: Taking benefits too soon Surprise, surprise. This message is nothing new. For years now, senior cit izens have been barraged with advice to wait as long as possible, preferably until age 70, before starting their Social Security benefits. I have written many columns on this topic, so I’m not going to reinvent the wheel here. Just know this. For every financial planner who tells me to encourage readers to wait until 70, I hear from another planner who tells me to advise readers to take benefits at full retirement age. Some might even be wise to take benefits at 62, as my wife and I did. You just need to gather all the facts, look at your other income sources, consider your health, lifestyle and family genetics, and make the best decision possible. And after you make your decision, don’t worry about it. Collect your Social Security benefits and enjoy life! Don’t let stories like this make you think you’ve missed out on a “fortune.”

Don’t Fall For Catchy and Scary Headlines

I guess I picked a bad title when I called my little guidebook “Social Securi ty: Simple and Smart.” I’ll never attract readers and get rich with a boring title like that. Instead, I should have called it something like: “Buy This Book and Gets Thousands in Extra Social Securi ty Benefits!” Or maybe, “Social Security Secrets That Will Make You Rich!”

It seems to me this was just thrown in as filler for the article. The gist of their advice was to “consider all your other income sources before making a Social Security decision.” My comment on this: DUH! Mistake No. 5: Failing to understand what qualifies you for Social Security The message of this bit of advice is this quote from the article: “You don’t automatically just qualify for Social Security benefits when you retire. You have to meet certain eligibility require ments.” And then it goes on to point out that you have to work and pay tax es and earn a minimum of 40 “credits” or “quarters” to get Social Security. C’mon, folks! Is this really a common Social Security mistake that costs you a fortune? Unless you just landed here from the Planet Neptune, who doesn’t know that you have to work and pay taxes to get Social Security retirement benefits? Mistake No. 6: Not knowing what Social Security rules are when it comes to divorce Well, now finally, they hit on a real mistake that could possibly be avoid ed. They are talking about women (and it’s almost always women) not know ing that they have to be married for at least 10 years to qualify for benefits on the record of their ex-husband. I’ve run into more than a few women over the years who got a divorce somewhere shy of the 10-year mark. But here’s the deal. If you’re a 35-year-old woman who is getting a divorce from a bad or may be even an abusive husband, potential Social Security benefits are the fur thest thing from your mind. I’d suggest this. If you’re getting a divorce at the 9 year and 10 month mark, or something close to that, it might do you some good to hang onto the jerk for another two months. But if you’re dumping him af ter, let’s say, 7 years of marriage, do you want to stay hitched to his sorry butt for another three years on the off chance you might qualify for some of his Social Security someday?

reating a viable and success ful open house today requires some changes and pivoting to attract the slowly changing buyer demand. It is becoming a bit more challeng ing to find that elusive and motivat ed purchaser with cash offers or that is qualified with a pre-approval from their lender. The feedback that I am receiving lately is that a portion of cash buyers are thinking twice about putting their money into real estate for the time being and are stepping back and sitting on the sidelines. I believe this is occurring due to their psychology of thinking that either prices must come down to make it more affordable or worst case scenar io, they might crash, reducing interest rates, providing an excellent oppor tunity for a better deal. Also, saving for a larger down payment is another reason to wait. Creating a situation where the seller provides a short-term mortgage at a reasonable rate saving the buyer money on bank fees and earning the seller above average inter est; and would pay capital gains, if any, stretched out over the term of the mortgage instead of one lump sum. This would be a win/win solution for both buyer and seller. However, if you are an investor, you are searching for other markets that make “more sense in the brain and cents in the pocket book” to provide a better return on investment.However, as I have stated in the past, the inventory is so low, that no bubble exists and I do not see prices crashing in the Long Island area, but moderating slightly. More important, prices have increased substantially over the last 2 years mainly due to the historically low-interest rates and the effect of our pandemic on working indi viduals and families, creating greater demand as people exited the most popu lated urban cities around the U.S. to the suburbs, creating a work-at-home envi ronment for millions of families; flood ing local housing markets for safer more comfortable safer and leisurely space. This had caused FOMO (fear of missing out) in many instances creating bidding wars for the lim ited inventory raising prices to never-before unheard-ofHopefully,levels.those indi viduals will be in their homes for a longer peri od of time and will con tinue to have gainful employment with adequate raises and/or a business that continues to scale in being profitable. In order to search out and locate those buyers for your home today, you need to hire a knowledgeable, well-in formed expert Realtor with a long-term record of many years in the industry. In order to sell, it will be necessary to think “outside the box” with cutting edge and different ideas and concepts to attract those buyers that are still in the market looking for a home, HOA, Condo, or co-op. Most important and crucial is to look at your home as if you are a pur chaser and then determine as a seller, what you will need to do to provide the condition, appearance, and value that would enable that buyer to consider your home. How does the exterior look? Is your shrubbery overgrown and in need of pruning and shaping? Is the lack of color and landscaping in the front taking away from the curb appeal? Need a paint job? Roof looking worn? etc. Homeowners must realize that those items that should be fixed and then decide not to, can cost them considerably more in the long run by not addressing those issues upfront. How does your interior appear? Have you reduced all your clutter? Does it need a paint job? How are the floors? Are the kitchen appliances in work ing order or in need of replacement? Are your bathrooms in excellent or poor condition? You may have a lim ited budget to spend, so do the repairs first and then replace those items that are most important, e.g. appliances and fixtures. Don’t spend any money on major renovations as you probably will not get your money back. When sell ing in an “as is” condition then one must be cogni zant that when the buyer has an inspection, they will be subtracting those costs from their offer and possibly more than that it could have cost to repair them if done beforehand.Moreover, and what will be tanta mount to attracting more buyers and receiving offers today, is to aggres sively price your home to create more viewings leading to offers. You can then determine which one is the most solid that will get you to the closing table. As I have said earlier, pricing it a bit below the market doesn’t mean you have to accept a low offer or even the first offer, but it will bring you more interested purchasers and just maybe create some buyer emotion leading to a possible bidding war. The homes that haven’t sold cur rently and in the past are most likely overvalued. Part of the issue is that homeowners have gotten unrealistic about their home’s value and somehow rely on certain websites and Zestimates in creating an unrealistic value that is greater than what the buying audience is willing to pay. Don’t think the “big fish” buyer is still out there but hasn’t yet surfaced, so continued advertising will eventually locate them. This is no longer a prudent and smart way to think. Being lucky is directly related to timing, and I believe it has come and gone for now. You obviously have choices to stay in your home for the rest of your life, renovate to accommodate your specific needs and wants as you age in place, downsize or move to warmer climates. Whatever your plan, think carefully about the direction you want to pursue whether selling, renting out, or stay ing. But in the end, realize that when selling, the market will determine your price, not you or your broker.

BY DENNIS MAMMANA Week of August 21-27, 2022 I remember well those wonderful days of elementary school when the very mention of the “solar system” con jured up in my mind amazing images of the sun, the planets and their attendant moons, and even mysterious comets sweeping by now and then. And I sus pect many other people had the same experience.Butwhat about the asteroids? Poor li’l asteroids seldom get much attention. Too bad, too. There may be more asteroids than anything else orbit ing our sun. Most tend to lie in a region known as the asteroid belt in the void between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, and range in size from tiny pebbles to chunks of rock as large as mountains. It was in July of 2011 that one of these asteroids -- Vesta -- was first visited and orbited by a robotic spacecraft named Dawn. After analyzing and photograph ing it for a year, Dawn departed Vesta and set off for its March 2015 destination of Ceres, now designated as a “dwarf planet”.Since astronomers discovered Vesta 215 years ago, astronomers have learned that the 329-mile-diameter chunk of rock reflects about 43% of all sunlight falling onto its surface -- the moon, by comparison, reflects only 12% -- and this makes the asteroid particu larly “shiny.” As a result, Vesta holds the distinction of being the brightest of all asteroids, occasionally appearing to binoculars or even the unaided eye from a dark rural site. And right now is one of those times -- a time we know as Vesta’s “opposition.”Opposition, as regular readers of this column might recall, is a time when a solar system body appears opposite in the sky from the sun. It’s during this time that it also lies closest to Earth and reaches its brightest. Vesta achieves its opposition point this year on Aug. 22 when it lies at a distance of “only” 119.5 million miles from Earth, and that makes it perfectly placed for observa tion for the next couple of weeks. To find Vesta, you will need several things. You will need binoculars. You will need a dark, rural sky and pretty good eyesight. And you’ll need to be quite dedicated because finding it could require a search. There, about one-third of the way between the planet Saturn and the bright star Fomalhaut you’ll see a region of relatively faint stars. It’s with in this area that you’ll find Vesta. The accompanying star map will help you locate where to aim binoculars so you can track down this elusive body. Keep in mind that Vesta is extremely faint and will appear much like every other faint star in your field of view, but this week it is barely visible to the naked eye if you’ve got a very clear, dark sky and excellent vision. You may find that Vesta appears a bit brighter around midnight when it lies higher in the southern sky. If you think you’ve found it, make a sketch of the stars in its vicinity, and return to it night after night. After a few sessions, you should notice that one of these “stars” seems to be drifting through the stellar pattern. This is the asteroid Vesta!

7 Discovery202219,August STARGAZERS

We’re about to become puppy par ents for the third time. I grew up with dogs, so I always knew someday, when I had my own family, we would have a dog. Of course, I never anticipated we would have a dog, a chinchilla, a bearded dragon, 500 crickets and four goldfish named Larry at the same time. But there are a lot of things about motherhood no one ever tells you about in the first place. Riley was our first dog with the kids. He was a sweet, lovable goofball who was the equivalent of a furry wrecking ball in our home. Lots of people come up with nicknames for their pets besides the one the dog is actually called. We nicknamed Riley “Dogzilla.” That should tell you everything you need to know about him. We had Riley until the kids were 15 and 17, and then Monty came into our lives. Monty was just as sweet and lov able as Riley was, but where Riley would plunge, Monty would tiptoe, except when it came to finding dead things in the backyard and rolling in them. Monty was afraid of umbrellas, dry cleaning and helium balloons, but he was a fearless fetch player and turned into an incredible therapy dog when I decided the two of us should volunteer together. Ostensibly we got Monty for the kids, but he really became my dog and my best friend during COVID-19. He may have just been into me for all the banana bread I made during that time, but I like to think he liked me for me and not just the food I dropped on theWefloor.lost Monty last September. I was bereft for months and couldn’t even begin to entertain the idea of getting another dog. And now that my husband and I were empty nesters, we wondered if it even made sense to get another dog.

Suddenly we had the freedom to go out and stay someplace overnight, or trav el, and not worry about finding cover age for two kids and a dog, a chinchilla, a bearded dragon, 500 crickets and four goldfish named Larry (may they rest in peace). Did we really want to go back to that kind of responsibility just when we had finally cut all the cords? But I missed having a wet nose nuzzle my legs under the dinner table. And a companion for my walks. And someone to laugh at my bad jokes, or at least not roll their eyes at me. I missed tripping over a dog on the floor, and snuggling a dog while I watched TV, and hugging a dog when I felt down. There seemed to be a lot more checks in the pro column versus the con, and when it came down to it, we just felt in our hearts that we were ready to fall in love with a dog one moreSo,time.Iwant to introduce you all to our new puppy. His name is Bowie... yes, after the great David Bowie, not because the dog is such a great singer but because he makes us feel over the moon in love with him. He is a golden retriever/ cocker spaniel mix who can’t quite fit a tennis ball in his mouth yet, but we know will someday be a world class fetch player like his predecessors. But even if he fails at fetch, and is afraid of umbrellas like Monty, and shreds our underwear like Riley, we will still be thrilled, but with less underwear, because we have a dog in our home and our hearts once again.

The colors of fruits and veg etables often indicate which nutrients are within them. For example, the bright orange color of fruits like peaches and apricots adver tises that they are sources beta-carotene, an important antioxidant.Smoothies and frozen drinks can complement healthy eating plans, as they involve whipping up a few ingredients for something re freshing and filling. Smooth ies are a favorite of adults and kids alike.

Before I get into this week’s article, we ARE OPEN (except for Saturdays this month only). When you come to the Exchange, you will notice that work is being done to repair our courtyard. We are taking precautions to keep our cus tomers safe. Please pardon our appear ance, but I think you will be happy with the final product. What is consignment? Consignment is resale of new/nearly new merchandise, at less-than-new prices. Sounds a lot like a thrift shop you might be thinking. Unlike thrift shops, however, we pay consignors 50% of the selling price for their items. And, if you’ve been in our Shop, you quickly realize the look, feel and the qual ity of the merchandise is wholly different.

The shop is located at 109 Eleventh Street. Shop Hours: Mon - Fri: 10–4 p.m., For more information, please call (516) 746-8900. We’re looking for writers in our community to compose articles on local topics, opinions, reviews, worthy places to visit on Long Island, and even pieces of fiction. We aim to feature at least one new article and writer each week in our Discovery magazine section. Love to write? Email submissions: editor@gcnews.com

• Articles must be between 1,500 - 3,000 words.

• Each writer will be reimbursed a stipend of $25.⁰⁰

The A.T. Stewart Consignment Shop

• Attach article and any photos (1MB), along with your name and contact info.

While jewelry (costume and fine), mir rors, lamps and crystal (typically Steuben, Waterford & Tiffany) are our best-sellers, we also take/accept china, furniture, col lectibles, silver and artwork. Sorry — no clothing or shoes. Why consign? If you’ve moved, per haps you’re looking to downsize. On the other hand, maybe you’ve just purchased a new home and need to furnish it. Or, if you’re like me, you want to change things up and refresh your home décor. On a more philanthropic level, you may want to do some good with selling your items since the proceeds support the TGCHS Museum. Remember: the money raised in the Shop helps to defray the expenses and upkeep of the TGCHS Museum. When can you consign? We accept consignments Wednesday through Friday 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. by appointment ONLY. Having appointments helps to keep down the numbers of people in the Shop at any point in time and reduces waittimes to consign. Please call (516)746-8900 to schedule a time and day. Unsure if your items are appropriate to consign? Email photos to store@atstewartexchange.org and be sure to include sizing info. We have found this to be an effective way to keep people from needlessly schlepping, especially big and/or heavy items that we may not take. You will generally receive a response the same day. What happens now that you have an appointment? Your first time at the shop, we will review the ins and outs of consign ing and then create a contract for you on our computer. Don’t be put off – this only takes about one minute. You will receive a copy and we keep one for our records.

Together, we will examine your merchan dise, making sure there aren’t any chips or cracks, or stones/crystals missing from jewelry, and we will set the price. Items should be cleaned and polished, before you bring them to the shop and we ask that you limit items to 5-8 pieces at a time since appointments are in ½ hour incre ments. More than that tends to cause delays for the consignors immediately following. Once we are finished, you will receive an itemized list of the items we have accepted and their prices. Many of our new consignors ask if we negotiate with our customers. And that’s where the contract comes in … once we have set the price with you, that is the price. We don’t negotiate or haggle. If you choose to be purely altruistic, we also accept donations. PLEASE don’t leave donated items outside the shop when we are closed. We want your items, but we don’t want them to get ruined, especially during inclement weather. Email store@ atstewartexchange.org and I will work with you to arrange a drop-off time. I check the emails every day, even when we’reComeclosed.toconsign … stay to shop. Speaking of shopping, I want to remind you of our summer hours. Our Wednesday late night shopping hours have been sus pended for the duration of the summer and will resume in September. Also, for the month of August only, we will be closed on Saturdays (Aug. 6th, 13th, 20th, and 27th). By overwhelming demand, we remain open on Mondays!! Please shop online at www.atstew artexchange.org and pick up your pur chases at the Exchange. We also post photos and merchandise on The Garden City Historical Society website, the AT Stewart Exchange Facebook and on the AT Stewart Exchange Instagram pages. We sure do get around! 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). Remember: all the profits from the Consignment Shop support the maintenance and upkeep of TGCHS Museum. Thanks to your gener ous support, work on the outside of the Museum continues.

The A.T. Stewart Consignment Shop has a selection of interesting objects for sale, including this “foo dog,” a traditional Chinese architectural ornament.

Torino also spoke about the prior architectural consultant’s (PKAD) report that determined the best course for Garden City would be a full demoli tion and building a new fire station. “While it provided some thoughts and there was some benefit, it was not directed or focused in the way that I believe it should have been. (PKAD’s report) was not as helpful in the total development of the village’s Fire Safety Plan because it had different objectives and different modality on how it intend ed the firehouse to be constructed. It’s different from what we’d have with a house already built and you change a kitchen or room, and add something to the back compared to taking down the whole house and building a new one. That’s not comparable and the course set before is not compatible for going forward,” Torino noted. The financial aspects of the proj ect will be clarified through consulta tion with the Village administration, the finance department, and fire chiefs after construction proposals are final ized. Torino said right now, the village is not sure of which options from the engineering study are going to be imple mented.“All the financial questions must await the determination of what the final project scope will look like, and what construction plans require,” he explained.Torinoadds that all building projects represent a balancing test of “needs, abilities and finances.” As the process continues, the Village plans additional community engage ment. Trustee Torino said residents whose homes are closest to Station No. 2 will be receiving material outlining the ways they can provide input. Torino also reminded residents that they can contact the administration and Board of Trustees through Village Hall or via email.“It’s important that everybody’s point of view is included in the final product….If anyone emails me or has comments to provide I will certain ly respond, and before there are any changes to Fire Station No. 2 we will do outreach to those abutting residents in the West to seek their input and to make certain the impacts are minor or reduced…for instance most residents do not know there’s a switch in the firehouse to turn the traffic signals red (along Stewart Avenue) so that when truck leaves traffic will stop, and we would not have to wait for a flagger to stand in the road. We will work to have the community informed, so they understand their voice and thoughts are being counted as well” Torino said.

IN MEMORIAM Donald Terry MacLeod

Donald Terry MacLeod (Don) of Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania (formerly of Garden City and Hertford, North Carolina) died on August 11, 2022 at the age of 92. Don was a retired Vice President of Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc., having spent more than 35 years work ing for the firm in New York City. He graduated from Garden City Senior High School (Class of 1948) and Syracuse University (Class of 1952), where he was a member of the Phi Kappa Psi frater nity. He was a decorated commissioned U.S. Army infantry officer during the Korean War, serving in Korea from 1952-1954 and being honorably dis charged as a First Lieutenant. In his service to our country, Don fol lowed a long family history of military service from the War of the Revolution forward-including that of his great grandfather, John Darling Terry, who was a Civil War hero in the Union Army (receiving the Congressional Medal of Honor for bravery). Don was as proud of his mother’s family roots in America dating back to the early 17th century settlers of New Amsterdam and New England as he was of his father’s 20th century Scottish Highlands roots. He was also a devout Episcopalian—a for mer acolyte, choir member (he had a wonderful voice), lay reader, and ves try member being among some of his church service—and ultimately was a recipient of the Bishop’s Cross from the Diocese of Long Island, New York. Most recently, he has been a member of the Calvary Episcopal Church con gregation in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Don helped to build houses for Habitat for Humanity in New York and North Carolina and played as much golf and bridge as he was able. He was also a revered poker player during his time in theDonarmy.is pre-deceased by his wife of more than 50 years, Joan H. MacLeod (née Marsh), his brother Douglas Edsall MacLeod, and his nephew Scott Marsh Cory. He is survived by his three chil dren (Joan M. Heminway of Knoxville, Tennessee, Donald T. MacLeod, Jr. of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Susan L. MacLeod of Los Angeles, California), two sons-in-law (Merrit A. Heminway and Edward M. Grubach Jr.), two grandchil dren (Scott J. Heminway and Katherine T. Heminway), a granddaughter-in-law (Rebecca R. Heminway [née Oliver]), his companion and love of the last 7 years (Winnie Dietz) and her family, a sister-in-law and brother-in-law (Doris L. Cory [née Marsh] and John M. Cory), a niece, and four nephews. A memorial service is being planned in the near future. He will be buried in the family plot at Woodlawn Cemetery, Bronx.

IN MEMORIAM Deidre Mastaglio Deidre (Dee) Mastaglio, née Twomey, passed away at home at the age of 77 on August 13, 2022. She is survived by Peter, her husband of 51 years, her sister Clare Delmonaco, her daughter Elizabeth Burke and son James Mastaglio, his wife Bridgette, and four devoted grand children – Bridie and Theodora (Teddy) Burke and Olivia and Kellan Mastaglio. Dee was born and raised in Brooklyn, graduated with a Bachelor’s degree from St. Joseph’s College and complet ed her studies toward a Master degree. In 1979 the family moved to Garden City where Peter worked and Dee then became very active at their chil dren’s and grandchildren’s school and sportingFuneralevents.arrangements have been made through Fairchild Sons Funeral Home with the burial at Calverton National Cemetery.

have time to deliberate and weigh the pros and cons of the options of the engi neering study. He said the Firehouse Feasibility Study represents many steps towards the village’s ‘ultimate destina tion’ with the project. “The integration and adoption of the feasibility study is but one necessary step to the planning of the renovation of Fire Station No. 2. The report is only a conceptual plan and it needs further input from the fire department and fire chiefs, village residents and the Garden City Department of Building with regards to impacts on what the structure will have and the totality of fire service as well as the cost factor,” Torino said. He added that the village and GCFD has the programmatic need to determine if a ladder company should be quartered at Station No. 2 all the time, in addition to an engine. According to Torino, the alternative may be for Station No. 2, having the primary firefighting appara tus be an engine company. “The answers to that question are still pending, at least until I have a meeting with the fire chiefs to gather their input, so we can determine what they think programmatically would be required there. The fire chiefs are con sistently providing input on what the department would need to proactive ly engage and deliver our firefighting resources. There are many more steps still ahead – most importantly, deter mining how the station fits within our Fire Safety Committee recommendation not only for Fire Station No. 2 but as a template with all three Garden City fire houses,” Trustee Torino said. Current goals for the project plan ning include an updated evaluation of Station No. 2 plus construction plans, and a refined approach towards its utili ty to serving the community. As Torino indicated, the bird’s eye view of fire safety in Garden City is at the forefront of each aspect in play. He said the evaluation of the GCFD equipment (type, sizes and needs to house them) along with the structural components to work cohesively make this an opportunity for Garden City to set a course of increasing its systematic fireAccordingsafety. to an update posted by the village, “the August 9 Feasibility pre sentation was in accordance with Mayor Veneziale’s efforts to preserve, revital ize and optimize the use of Village assets in an economically prudent manner.” During the Board of Trustees’ July meeting Torino spoke about initial indi cations from Old Structures Engineering that noted the “good bones” of the 90-year-old Edgemere Road fire station. Torino expanded on that comment while speaking with the Garden City News. He said the Station No. 2 building does not require significant modifica tions “in order to continue in the utility as a village firehouse.” As the Village Board considers the next steps for the fire station it will be assessing its compatibility with larg er, and more technologically-advanced equipment used in modern firefighting. Trustee Torino said, “while equip ment has changed and gotten much larger, the ability to use that firehouse and its existence in the future is very positive.”“Conversations with the fire chiefs have occurred in the past and will con tinue in the future until the Feasibility Study is distilled and proper implemen tation occurs,” he said.

The team explained that yes, in the collaborative space “unforeseen” complications came up once the walls were opened up. This includes covered up urinals and misdoc umented steel. The Superintendent Report Dr. Sinha took note of several recent inquiries around the new Universal Pre-K (UPK) program funding and pro cess. To sum it up, the District applied for (and was awarded) a $1 million grant that provides 191 students UPK at $5,400 per pupil. The district’s website con tains specifications and a dedicated fre quently asked questions (FAQ) page. Registration is open with an August 23rd deadline. The District and SCOPE will hold a meet and greet before school starts. That date will be announced and communicated to parents in the coming weeks.In terms of enrollment, the Superintendent zeroed in on Hemlock’s first grade and class size. She recom mended adding a new section, now that the headcount is up to 24 students and the Board’s guideline is 20. A hiring update was also provid ed to the community. Current open ings include a teaching assistant at the High School, a short term special ed leave and year leave at Stewart, a year leave at Stratford, a special education teacher after a resignation came in just this week, and, a first grade teacher at Hemlock. While filling many of these positions are in motion, the district may hold a special meeting for appointments before school starts. Dr. Sinha then shared insights from the July conference of The School Superintendents Association (AASA), a national legislative advocacy commit tee and governing board she’s a part of. There, she and her peers met with NY State representatives like Kathleen Rice, Chuck Schumer and others with a focus on funds for mental health, school modernization and repairs, extending the ARPA funds deadline and more. “I think it’s important to voice what our needs are,” she shared. Reports from the Board President Joseph Sileo said that a Board retreat took place last week, where the curriculum and standard ization programs, like writing, policy review processes, safety, special educa tion program improvements, and com munity feedback were discussed. Vice President Tom Pinou added that the District will seek feedback from the community more often through surveys

The board approved agenda items G1-G39, which includes the District Wide Safety Plan. The full list is avail able online on the District’s website for the public to review. As for important dates that are com ing up, next week marks the start of new teacher orientation. Superintendent’s Conference Day will take place late August. And, last but definitely not least, students are back and school is in session beginning on September 1st. The District will be closed for Labor Day on September 5th. The next Board of Education meeting will take place Wednesday, September 7 at 8:15 p.m.

Policy and regulation updates were also detailed, including to the Code of Conduct dress code and 14-20 that tack les complaints to instruction material, and are now up for a first reading. One parent asked, “Is there an update on the air conditioners in the buildings?” Dr. Sinha explained that more have been installed. Trustee Pinou asked if the facilities team could look into and create “not quite a heat map but a cold map.” The superinten dent confirmed this is something that the District has already completed.

They’ll be seeking input from Property Owners’ Associations as a next step. Reports from the Board It’s that time of the year where Superintendent of Schools Dr. Kusum Sinha and team share updates regarding the various stages and current status of summer building projects. Progress pic tures from the middle school collabora tive space were shared with the public, along with images of the construction at the District’s building libraries, class rooms, roofs and more. According to the Superintendent, most projects will blend into the new school year, but none are classroom spaces so students are not expected to be impacted. The two innovation labs will be finished first, likely in November, but, with material delays and supply chain issues prompted by COVID-19, other projects could trickle into as far as early 2023. Construction is not set to take place during school hours. Trustee Billy O’Donohue added, “I ask that any contractors at or deliveries made during the day, just keep apprised of it so we can let the building principal know and stay on top of that.” Trustee Arthur Gnecco asked, “Had you encountered anything that had a budgetary impact?”
