GC Police get forfeited funds to help fight crime

WPOA SUMMER PARTY

Unexplained Village water bills, lack of response debated at Board Meeting BY RIKKI N. MASSAND The Village of Garden City’s residential water meter replacement project, taking place in summer and fall 2016, was ‘billed’ as more accurate and effective, according to this April’s press releases from the Village of Garden City. But two frustrated longtime residents of Garden City questioned the

“billing” after some exorbitant costs appeared for consecutive quarters last year, charges up by hundreds of dollars. They also received little information from Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi and other staff members on repeated attempts to figure out the reason for these charges. Finally, at the August 17 Board of Trustees meeting, Andrew

and Stacy Smith of Primrose Court approached the podium and took the Village of Garden City to task in public, sparking a dialogue on their situation plus ways Garden City residents with questions for their administration are treated. In terms of residents and departments working toward a soluSee page 22

At the Garden City Board of Trustees’ meeting on Thursday, August 17, Police Commissioner Kenneth Jackson said two items on the agenda will help the police to continue to protect the village. The first approved by the Board was the appropriation of police reserve funds of $23,496 to fund “unbudgeted” police expenditures. Jackson explained the value of added capital. “Under the Civil Practice Law of New York State the police department, upon making significant arrests and processes in court, if there are monies and/or property value confiscated a lot of times the court makes the decision it will be forfeited and it is distributed by the District Attorney’s Office to the authorities involved in the investigation and also the mandatory fields. For the last budget year, 2016-2017, we had over $23,000 from those forfeitures and we are asking for those funds accumulated for this fiscal year so we can purchase items to help in our investigations,” Jackson said. In the past unbudgeted funds from this allocation helped Garden City Police bought surveillance and scanner equipment, shields and CO (carbon monoxide) detectors. He thanked the Board for helping the police officers in Garden City fight crime and protect the public and themselves from harm. Also approved at the August 17 meeting were expenses of $600 for Garden City Police Officer Hudak’s attendance from September 10 to 12 at the New York State Bureau of Weights and Measures “annual Truck Scale Calibration” in Syracuse. Jackson commented that the GCPD “weighs a lot of trucks,” coming on the heels of an outcry as residents and the CPOA board of directors have been vocal for the concerns with truck traffic on Cathedral Avenue, Hilton Avenue, Franklin and other main roads in the past ten months. “Twice a year, Garden City Police and other departments such as Hempstead are required to go upstate and we have our scale certified there. At a previous Board of Trustees’ meeting we had seen approval for one of our GCPD officers to be trained in fixing the scales, so if scales do not pass standards we can make a minor adjustment. This helps us (GCPD) have fully functional truck scales and we would have a better case presentation to the presiding judge for any truck traffic infractions, and that would mean less chance of dismissal of charges. This is an important item,” Commissioner Jackson said at the August meeting. The Board of Trustees Village Priorities List for 2017-2018, approved at a work session following the June 1 board meeting, indicated completion of a third-party consultant’s analysis of the Garden City Police Department by Monday October 30, 2017. The police assessment is considered a “secondary task and project” on the Priorities List. Building Department Digital Scanning See page 22

A WORD FROM THE PUBLISHER

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Labor Day History

On Monday we will celebrate Labor Day, a holiday which to most people just signifies the end of the summer season. However the history of Labor Day is rather interesting. The first celebration of it was actually a massive picnic which took place in New York City on September 5, 1882. At that time labor unions were growing stronger in the United States, and the picnic was a fundraiser for a confederacy of unions. According to the U.S. Department of Labor’s web site, “At first they were afraid that the celebration was going to be a failure. Many of the workers in the parade had to lose a day’s pay in order to participate. When the parade began only a handful of workers were in it, while hundreds of people stood on

the sidewalk jeering at them. But then slowly they came – 200 workers and a band from the Jewelers’ Union showed up and joined the parade. Then came a group of bricklayers with another band. By the time they reached the park, it was estimated that there were 10,000 marchers in the parade in support of workers. The park was decorated with flags of many nations. Everyone picnicked, drank beer and listened to speeches from the union leadership. In the evening even more people came to watch fireworks and dance.” The celebration soon caught on in other states and in 1894 it was made a federal holiday. Enjoy your day off!

Thank You, Garden City Library

To the Editor: I believe that I am not only expressing my personal gratitude but also that of the many seniors attending the Monday’s movie at the Garden City Library. We truly enjoy the films, which are a perfectly selected variety of drama-history-adventure-humor-comedy. Mr. Steve Tobias, the Manager in charge of selecting, choosing and projecting these films, has the knowledge and experience to do so by carefully deciding those preferred by his audience. Obviously, judging from his briefings and narratives, introduction and presentation of key notes concerning each film prior to the show, clearly demonstrate that he is doing something that he knows quite well and enjoys. Indeed, the Library provides an element of not just distraction but social encounters as well as a sense of participation and enjoyment in a welcomed and friendly environment. I may also say that in addition to physical relaxation, it is also a brain stimulant and which placed together, contribute to enrich our lives and which we truly appreciate. It should also be noted that the room-theater is quite large, providing relaxing and comfortable accommodation within a nice environment. Once again, thank you very much to the Library and to Mr. Steve Tobias for the excellent entertainment provided. Antonio Moreno

Carousel zebra “put down”

To the Editor: It is with grief and sadness that I report our iconic carousel zebra has been “put down”. Some marauding teenagers tried to ride her a few weekends ago and killed her on the spot where she has stood and

entertained Garden City residents for decades. How proud some mothers must be to know their children are felons, juvenile delinquents, and horse wranglers. We are not sure that she can be resurrected to once again stand proudly on the corner of Tenth St. and Hilton Ave. for the enjoyment of residents who believe that home owners and animals have rights too.

“The Shirt Off My Back”

To the Editor: I am collecting your gently worn or new t-shirts for the victims of Hurricane Harvey and its catastrophic flooding. We ALL have T-shirts of all kinds in our closets and drawers, having acquired them over the years from running races, walk-a-thons, corporate trade shows/events, kids’ teams and camps, etc. My name is Jean Simmons, a Senior at Garden City High School, and I have initiated the “The Shirt Off My Back” t-shirt Drive. My goal is to provide at least 2,000 clean, dry t-shirts to those who have lost everything in the hurricane and subsequent floods in Eastern Texas, through coordination with the Red Cross and other shelter agencies. All sizes from infant onesies to adult are needed. Please look to see if you have any shirts you can donate; I’m sure you do! I have a collection bin on my front stoop at 66 Wellington Rd., corner of South Ave., across from the Nassau Blvd train station. Or, I can pick them up if you want to leave them outside your house; call or text me at 516-582-1710 or 516-236-4578. So, clean out those closets and drawers, and give the victims of Hurricane Harvey the “Shirt Off YOUR Back”! Thank you in advance for your support! Jean Simmons

As schools across the country prepare to open soon, Resurrection Lutheran Church invites all in the community for a Back to School blessing. Rev. Nathan Erb, Resurrection’s Assistant Pastor, says, “We welcome families to join us on the weekend of Sept. 9 and 10. All students and teachers are invited to attend one of our worship services this weekend when they will receive a blessing and gift for the upcoming school year. The special event will take place at all of our weekend services, Saturday, Sept. 9, 5:30 p.m., and Sunday, Sept. 10, at 8:30, 9:45 and 11 a.m.“ Resurrection also prepares for the beginning of a brand new year of Sunday School. “Classes are offered for each grade level, pre-kindergarten through 8th grade,” Erb said. “Our program is all about Jesus. It is designed so that our children and youth connect

the Word of God to their daily lives. During each lesson the children worship through knowledge of the Bible, music, discussion, crafts, games and always closing in prayer.” High school students gather together to learn from God’s Word. “After bagels or donuts, we dive headfirst into the Bible,” Erb added. Adults are also invited to an all new Sunday study based on the Gospel of Mark. This series begins Sunday, Sept. 17, at 9:45 a.m., meeting in the gym. Resurrection Lutheran Church is a multi-site Christian community of faith, with our main campus located at 420 Stewart Ave., near Clinton Rd., in Garden City. All are invited to worship at 5:30 p.m. on Saturdays and at 8:30, 9:45 and 11 a.m. Sunday mornings, with Christian Education at 9:45 a.m. For more information, call 516.746.4426, or visit resgc.org.

Garden City Police Dept: Back to School Safety

It’s that time of year again: summer vacation is almost over and schools will be opening soon. With that in mind, the Garden City Police Department has put together a four-part series of articles to address back to school Safety Issues. Part One will address “Safe Driving Practices,” Part Two “School Bus Safety,” Part Three “Pedestrian and Bicyclist Safety”, and Part Four “Stranger Danger.” When schools are opening in the morning and closing in the afternoon, the areas around schools are very busy and crowded. Parents and other adults can do much to improve traffic safety around our schools by driving cautiously, teaching their children safe practices and limiting vehicle trips. In some cases, parents and other adults may be the cause of safety concerns. Drivers should obey all traffic laws and apply the following safety conscious practices.

Back to School “Safe Driving Practices”:

• Although New York State does not have a law preventing children from sitting in the front seat, it is highly recommended that all children age 12 and

under ride properly restrained in the back seat. Research indicates that this practice alone can reduce the chance of injury and death by as much as 30%. • When dropping off or picking up children at school, avoid parking on the opposite side of the street from the school. If you have to park on the opposite side of the street, NEVER call your children to your car. Always meet them on the school side of the road and walk them to your car. Also talk with them about what to do if you are not there on time. • Make sure children are careful opening car doors. Children should always get in and out of your vehicle through the rear curbside door. • Drivers should not double park or block traffic. Parking or waiting in red zones is also prohibited. • Do not block school buses or use areas designed for buses only. • Never stop or park in a crosswalk or within the posted crosswalk “No Parking” area. Students and other pedestrians rely on the crosswalk and need the visibility that the posted no parking buffer provides to cross the street safely. • Do not violate the law by using the excuse “I’ll just be here for a minute,”

when picking up or dropping off students. • Do not make U-turns within school zones and avoid turning around in neighboring residents’ driveways. It’s hard enough to see children and even harder when you’re backing up or making U-turns. • Never leave a child of any age in a vehicle without adult supervision. A small child may rapidly suffer dehydration, heat exhaustion and consequent organ failure. Older children could play games that may lead to tragedy. • Learn the traffic patterns at the schools to avoid being a disruption. • SLOW DOWN, you’re free to drive even slower than the posted school zone speed limit and should when conditions warrant it such as, heavy rain, snow, fog, icy roads, darkness or heavy traffic conditions. • NEVER pass a stopped school bus when its red flashing lights are on. Whether you are behind the bus or approaching from the opposite direction, you must come to a full stop and remain stopped until warning lights are off. According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Association (NHTSA), from 2004 to 2013, 1,344 people were killed nationally in school

bus related accidents. Many of these fatalities were caused by motorists who failed to stop for stopped school buses. Motorists should keep in mind that young children see and hear differently than adults. Children only have twothirds the peripheral vision adults have and they have difficulty determining the source of a sound. They are still learning to judge distance and speed. When a car is coming toward them, they cannot accurately judge how fast it is traveling or how long it will take to cover the distance. Children focus on one thing at a time. If they are playing with friends or riding bikes it is unlikely they are aware of your car. Children are spontaneous and have trouble stopping an action once started. Children also tend to overestimate their abilities, thinking they can run across a street before the light changes or a car approaches. If parents and other motorists make a habit to incorporate these safe practices into their routines, the risk of injury or death to anyone in the school zone will be greatly reduced. The Garden City Police Department encourages everyone to read Part Two, “School Bus Safety”, in next week’s paper.

RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards) Students Report

At the Monday, August 28 meeting of the Mineola-Garden City Rotary Club at the Garden City Hotel, members welcomed students who told of their experiences as RYLA participants. With the purpose to help develop the next generation of leaders, the RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards) is a leadership program coordinated by Rotary Clubs around the globe. Each year, thousands of young people participate in the program sponsored by Rotary Clubs and run by the Club’s District Committees. Participants fill out applications and are chosen for their leadership potential. Diane Marmann, past president of the Mineola-Garden City Rotary Club, who serves as Treasurer of RYLA, reported that District 7255 is the only district where RYLA is run by students. It is a leadership conference for 10th grade students across Long Island, Brooklyn and Queens, is run by 12th grade Senior Leaders, and is facilitated by 11th grade students. Adult Rotarians make up the adult oversight committee. Club members were impressed by the enthusiasm of four Student RYLArians who reviewed their experiences at past conferences. All spoke of how the program helped them to open up, develop lasting friendships and leadership skills, and of the gratification that comes with interacting and pursuing service projects.

Ashley George, a senior at Rutgers went through the RYLA program and is now on the Adult Committee. Julia Rogan, from Huntington, is a Senior Leader, as is Brielle Neumann from Northport. Diane reported that RYLA’s next spring conference is in April 2018 in Riverhead. She said applications will be available in mid-September at http://www.ryladistrict7255.com/ (It would be great to have applicants from both Garden City and Mineola!) Not only do students learn leadership skills, but they also have a wonderful time! Rotary meets on the second and fourth Monday of each month throughout the year. For information about Rotary or how to become a member, please call Alba Spinelli at 516.307.887.

9 BY GABBY TABBY Leaving the scene: On August 23rd a vehicle traveling west on Stewart Avenue apparently lost control and struck a light pole on the corner of Weyford Terrace causing it to fall to the ground. Witnesses stated the male driver exited the vehicle and fled the scene on foot. The vehicle was impounded and the investigation is ongoing.

GARDEN CITY UPDATE - NEWS AND INFORMATION As previously announced, the Board of Trustees and the Village Staff have embarked on new methods and procedures to communicate with members of our community, including our residents, commercial tenants and landlords, visitors, friends at Adelphi and local merchants. We are no longer publishing the “Mayor’s Column.” This weekly column is intended to advise our residents and community of matters that our Board of Trustees and Departments are working on, events and other important information. And of course, please visit our website for additional information: www.gardencityny.net. We are constantly updating 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. Our next meeting is September 21, 2017.

Myth #3: Washing Your Car

Continuing our series on urban myths, you probably have heard this one: you are not allowed to wash your car in your driveway. Myth or Not? This one is a myth. There are no prohibitions on a resident washing his/her own car in a residential driveway. You are not allowed to operate a car wash business. You are not allowed to wash your car on the street or in a parking lot. But you certainly can wash your car in your driveway. There are prohibitions on washing down a driveway or a sidewalk. We do not know why that exists or was enacted. The Board is considering removing that prohibition. We have embarked on reviewing many areas of our Village Codes with a view towards modernizing them. If anyone is curious about some topic that they believe might be a myth, send us an email and we will investigate. Send your email to Mayor@gardencityny.net.

Stewart Manor LIRR Station Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation work on the Stewart Manor LIRR Station building is 90 percent complete. Electrical work for monitors and TVs is all that remains inside the building. In the Fall LIRR crews will begin work on the platforms and fixing the shelters along the platforms. The MTA/LIRR has agreed to cover the cost of repaving the Village’s lot, which we estimate would have cost the Village over $300,000. We had requested that the MTA/LIRR cover the cost of the repaving as well as enhanced modifications to the station and the platforms as part of the Third Track initiative. The Village is currently working out the repaving schedule of the lot with the LIRR.

Forfeiture of Assets to fund unbudgeted police expenditures

Under New York State Civil Practice Law, certain funds received from forfeiture of assets are restricted to fund unbudgeted police expenditures. At the close of the 2016-2017 Fiscal Year, the Village held $23,496.90 in Reserve. These funds, which were accumulated during the last fiscal year, were appropriated to this fiscal year to enable the Police Department to purchase equipment to aid officers in fighting crime and protecting themselves. In the past, the Department has been able to purchase equipment such as life scan machines, surveillance equipment, carbon monoxide detectors and active shooter equipment, according to Commissioner Kenneth Jackson.

NYS Office of Children and Family Services Grant

The Board accepted a $3,162 grant from the New York State Office of Children and Family Services. This grant is given to municipalities to assist in running programs and activi-

ties for the children of Nassau County. The Village has been the recipient of this grant for more than 25 years. The Department of Recreation and Parks uses the grant to help defray costs of its winter afterschool program in the Field House.

Pool season ends Monday, September 4

With the arrival of Labor Day and the anticipation of school reopening comes the beginning of the fall season and the closing of the Garden City Swimming Pool. (The Pool will be open from 10:00 a.m. until 9:00 p.m. on Labor Day). Much to the credit of the Pool staff, Village residents experienced another safe and enjoyable season. Compliments are due to the Recreation Commissioner and the entire staff.

Commitment to services and facilities management initiatives

As a segue from the Pool season ending discussion, work at the Pool, like at other Village facilities, never ceases. In the last few weeks, the Board has identified, with input from Staff and residents, issues that need to be addressed. For example, work continues on drainage issues and airflow in the women’s and men’s shower and changing areas. Members of the Board of Trustees have communicated to Recreation Department management that they must view themselves as a service organization, and Village offerings and day-to-day operations must cater to residents as customers. Therefore, bathrooms, not just at the Pool, must be cleaned constantly and functioning properly. On a wider level, the Board is also considering expanding the outsourcing of cleaning and maintenance of all Village facilities, including bathrooms. The Village Administrator, Recreation Department and Department of Public Works is expected to present a plan

to the Board of Trustees for renovating more bathrooms, and is actively speaking with private companies about facilities management possibilities.

Village offices closed

Village offices will be closed on Monday, September 4, 2017 in observance of Labor Day. Offices will reopen on Tuesday, September 5th at 8:30 a.m.

Holiday week sanitation collection

Due to the observance of Labor Day, there will be no garbage or recycling pickup on Monday, September 4. Residences west of Rockaway Avenue will have their garbage collected on Tuesday and Friday and those east of Rockaway Avenue will be collected on Wednesday and Saturday. Rubbish will be collected on Thursday, September 7th. Those residents scheduled for recycling pickup on Monday, September 4th should place their recyclables out on Monday, September 11th. All other recycling days remain the same. Residents with permit stickers can always drop off material at the Village Yard, which is open every Saturday, including this holiday weekend, from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Permit stickers are $15 and available at Village Hall.

Board Meeting Schedule

The Board of Trustees will next meet Thursday, September 21, 2017. The meeting will begin at 8:00 p.m. in the Village Hall Board Room. Residents are encouraged to attend. We expect to be discussing the following topics: • Potential changes to our Village Building Code, including the length of time that permits will be allowed to remain open and potential fees for violations; • The results of bids received for the new Village Water Tower; and • Possible changes in the manner by which residents can request temporary overnight parking.

On May 10th, Garden City Middle School’s Speech and Debate Club held its first debate finals. The club, which began in September 2016, has exhibited tremendous growth during its first year. “We have over 20 dedicated members who show up each Thursday to hone their oratorical and debating skills,” said Mr. John Cronin, the club advisor. In addition to debates between members of the club, a debate league among Long Island middle schools has begun. “We are having a debate tournament against Amityville Middle School and Bay Shore Middle School in late May and early June. There are three active middle schools in the newly formed league, and in addition to more tournaments next school year, we are hoping to get more middle schools involved. Our message is how debate fosters

research and writing skills as well as logical reasoning. These skills can be employed in every academic subject as well as all areas of life. We have Dr. Osroff to thank for our tremendous success. We never would have achieved so much without his continual support,” said Mr. Cronin. In the debate finals, there were teams of two, and the top eight debaters were chosen to participate. They were picked based on factors such as attendance, quality of research, logic in argumentation, mastery of oratory, and a passion for debate. There were two debates: “School Boards Should Be Allowed to Ban Controversial T-Shirts,” and, “Intelligent Design Theory Should Be Taught in Public School.” “Just to make it to the finals makes all participants champions,” said Mr. Cronin.

THE VIEW FROM HERE

The torturous road to tax reform BY BOB MORGAN, JR. Reasonably soon, the second major legislative initiative of the Trump Administration, a tax reform measure, will be considered by Congress. This will be an important test of whether, after its failure on health care, Team Trump has improved its ability to cope with the ways of Washington. However, before we get to the tax debate, the Trump Administration will have to deal with a number of serious and not so serious controversies. On a serious level, President Trump and his administration will need to show leadership in leading the federal response to the hurricane and flooding situation in Texas. Fairly or not, George W. Bush’s presidency suffered major, and arguably irreparable, damage during the Katrina hurricane in New Orleans in 2005, where the death toll was estimated at 1,500. At least so far, the number of fatalities connected with the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey has been far lower, and the quality of the state and local response, where numerous rooftop rescues have been required, seems far better than it was in New Orleans. During his visit Mr. Trump needs to be sure that he is appropriately sympathetic without overstaying his welcome and, much more important, make sure that FEMA and other federal agencies are doing the very best they can. Of course, it wouldn’t be the Trump Administration without a number of ongoing political flaps. One recent controversy involves Mr. Trump’s pardon of former Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio, convicted of contempt of court for ignoring court orders relating to police patrols that targeted immigrants. While I am not a particular fan of the tough guy sheriff and his bullying ways, this pardon of an 85 year old man is certainly no worse than many issued by his predecessors, including President Bill Clinton’s pardon of financier Marc Rich, a major political contributor who was actually a fugitive at the time the pardon was issued or President Obama’s pardon of reputed Puerto Rican terrorist

Oscar Lopez Rivera. And another controversy, actually somewhat related to the tax bill (and tangentially related to the hurricane recovery effort) is President Trump’s threat to shut down the government if funds are not appropriated by Congress to build the border wall. Surely this matter can be worked out. A shutdown would validate every criticism leveled against Mr. Trump as not serious about governing. While increased border security is reasonably popular, the wall itself is not, except among Mr. Trump’s most ardent supporters. One would think that Mr. Trump and GOP leaders could find a way to make some inroads on the security issues (for example, money for improved electronic surveillance) and call it a day. When the tax bill is eventually debated, the political dynamics will likely be better for Mr. Trump than they were on health care. Republican members of Congress will definitely want to pass some major legislation and tax reform is somewhat less toxic than the health care debate, which is very personal to many voters and had the potential for the GOP to be portrayed as throwing millions of people off health insurance. If the reconciliation process is used in the Senate, Democratic votes, while helpful, should not be required. As to the bill, Mr. Trump might do well to follow the advice of three leading conservative economic voices, Steve Forbes, Larry Kudlow and Stephen Moore, and keep the legislation very simple. Their proposal is to cut the tax rate for large and small business to 15 percent, repatriate $2.5 trillion held by American overseas by adopting at a 10 percent tax rate and double the standard deduction. There may be a few other reasonable additions, both on the tax cut and revenue side, but the streamlined approach makes good sense. In short, tax reform can be a potential win for President Trump and the Republicans, but only if they can navigate the current policy and political shoals and then move on to a smart legislative approach.

GC Police get forfeited funds to help fight crime

From page 1 Also by that same date but indicated as a “tertiary task and project” was strategy for all plans submitted to the Garden City Building Department to be done in electronic format. At the Board’s August 17 meeting Superintendent of Building Ausberto Huertas explained the progress of this endeavor, merging existing departmental documents with the municipal building permit process. Before the meeting two weeks ago the department received back 92,000 documents that have been scanned. “When you compare the original bid and vendor to the vendor’s quote for performing our scan project we have savings of $104,000 to date just for this first batch of scans,” he said. Mayor Brian Daughney acknowledges that cost savings but stated this won’t reflect the accurate measure of “manpower and time-savings.” “We are trying to make this convenient for the Building Department, for residents, architects and builders, eventually to tie this into the Finance Department and even the Fire Departments. That’s the end-goal; having our systems working across departments so you won’t have to come in and get the plans for your house, you will be able to do it online. If you notice on the 2017-2018 Priorities List for the Board of Trustees, hopefully we will get to a point with a system when an architect or builder comes in with plans to submit for a house or a building renovation it will be digital and up on a screen. It’s just much easier and that is the goal,” the mayor announced. He references another tertiary goal on the fiscal year’s Priority List is “implementing electronic presentations at Zoning Board of Appeals and ADRB (Architectural Design Review Board) meetings,” which occur every month. The project’s target date is longer term, January 1, 2019. Huertas says while the 92,000 documents done is a lot, these first scanned

ones were older and more time had to be dedicated for scanning as they were in delicate condition. “They are hoping that the next boxes of documents would be a little more mainstream and they would be able to pick up the process, but the vendor is working diligently. They’ve also responded to all our FOIL requests and I am very proud of vendor, having made site visits to their controlled storage facility, where it is easier to prepare documents. They are using multiple scanners to get the process done and I’ve checked to make sure our documents are secure,” Huertas said. He added that once in every two or three weeks he’s gone to the site to “go over process and help with any documents they are having issues with, such as for clarifications.” The Village of Garden City News and Information section in the May 26 edition of The Garden City News introduced the project: “It is the goal of the Department to digitize all residential and commercial Building Department records. When completed, this will allow online access to such records.” A press release for the first week of August contained the following status update: “The vendor is still scanning older, delicate files which take more prep time to properly scan, however, the vendor is still on track in completing phase one within eight months or less, as required by the RFP. The scanning vendor is coordinating with the software vendor to ensure the files are properly tagged as required in order for the parcel software to upload the scanned documents in their appropriate locations.” At the August meeting Trustee Robert Bolebruch and Mayor Daughney considered how many total pages and documents would be done with this project, and over 400 boxes with papers were taken to the vendor. Huertas told the Trustees that the project is now 5% completed. The trustees thought over 2

million documents will be scanned, while Huertas’ original estimate (with contingencies) was for 1.3 million documents. Also on August 17 the Board approved an allocation of $2,600 for Superintendent Huertas to attend the International Code Council (ICC) conference and training school in Columbus, Ohio, from September 10 through September 14. The paid training comes from the village’s Operating Budget for 2017-2018. NYCOM Training for Village Executive Staff Another appropriation from the Operating Budget will cover the costs of attendance for the 2017 NYCOM (New York Conference of Mayors) Public Works School, from October 16 through 18 in Lake George. Superintendent of Public Works Joseph DiFrancisco, Deputy DPW Superintendent Domenick Stanco and the village’s Senior Civil Engineer Craig Bandini, will all attend for a total approved cost of $2,800. The Board also approved a training trip for the Village Finance department’s team of Village Clerk Karen Altman, Village Treasurer Irene Woo and Village Auditor Courtney Rosenblatt, for approximate expenses of $6,000. They too will attend a NYCOM event, the annual Fall Training School from September 11 through 14 at Saratoga Springs. Court Consultant Approved At their August meeting the Board of Trustees also approved consultant Hilda Simmons of Carle Place to assist the Garden City Village Court. A transfer of $10,000 in the “Village Justice” account from regular salary to contractual services was approved. Simmons’ role was specified as training of Village Court personnel, at a rate of $56 per hour, not to exceed $10,000. Tennis Center Lighting Maintenance Bond New LED lighting installed at the village’s tennis center facility was installed

by Wantagh-based Palace Electrical Contractors, Inc. After the work was completed the Board of Trustees at its August 17 meeting approved a one-year maintenance guarantee bond from the contractor, with a bonded amount of $83,000, “guaranteeing for one year the work that they completed for the village.” October Outdoor Movie Night Also at the August 17 Village Board meeting, Dennis Donnelly, executive director of the Garden City Chamber of Commerce announced that plans are in the works to present the Board of Trustees with a permit application to hold the first-ever Outdoor Movie Night on Seventh Street, sponsored by Chamber members and businesses. Donnelly specified a target date of Sunday October 8, as kids would have day off from school the following Monday, Columbus Day October 9. Donnelly said the plan includes putting up a 30-foot tall portable screen and closing Seventh Street to vehicular traffic between Hilton Avenue and Franklin Avenue, similar to traffic planning for a Friday Night Promenade, as he noted the very successful 2017 run through August. Donnelly made note of the many weeks of Friday Promenades, held from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Seventh Street, with less than a month left in the season before the September 15 finale, “Big Pineapple Circus.” The 38th Annual Garden City Fall Festival Street Fair would be held less than a week after the outdoor movie, on Saturday October 14 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For the same date, Saturday October 14, at its August meeting the Board of Trustees approved the first annual “Panther Community 5K Run” for Adelphi University, the host, and the village’s corresponding closure of South Avenue in the morning. The GCPD reviewed and approves of the route on South Avenue, and the 5K will be held from 7:30 a.m. to 10 a.m.

Unexplained Village water bills, lack of response debated at Board Meeting From page 1 tion, even trustees questioned an apparent lack of courtesy, timely responses and customer service. Andrew Smith said he’s a resident of Garden City for over 30 years, living in their current Primrose Court home for the last 17 years. Except for inaccurate and unexplained bills over two periods that occurred since the new meter was installed at his home, the Smiths attest that they’ve paid each tax bill and water bill on time. For two consecutive quarters in mid-2016, with new meters installed in Garden City, the Smiths saw their municipal water bills skyrocket. The first invoice that caused alarm was for $588, “many times what it should

be.” The next quarter’s bill shocked them too, coming up at $611. Stacy Smith turned to Village Hall and met with Administrator Ralph Suozzi. Her husband said the initial thought on the village’s part was that a leak occurred and impacted the residents’ reading. The village inspected it and found no leaks. The Smiths also learned that at least a dozen other residents reported a similar situation to Suozzi’s office. Twice, with the high water bills unexplained, Andrew Smith says Administrator Suozzi promised an investigation into the meter and told the couple not to pay the $588 and $611 invoices. The Smiths remained concerned that penalties for the unpaid

amounts, for billing cycles past, were accruing. The next quarter the Smiths received a water bill from the village of $78. “It was in line with what we have typically paid. I am not sure what happens but at least the bill was where it should be,” Andrew Smith told the Board of Trustees on August 17. When the usual bill amount came in Stacy Smith visited Village Hall to pay the $78 despite notices stating “Past Due” on their statement. “What happens is that since we’re ‘Past Due’ if it is not paid, we will get put on the tax roll. Mr. Suozzi again advised us not to pay the bill as the village and water department was still

looking into it. I don’t know what ‘looking into it’ means over the months, but on his advice we did not pay. In May of this year, what happens – the outstanding bill went onto our tax roll. At that point I was not screwing around any further – I paid the tax bill because I was not about to have issues with that at our house,” Smith said at the Board meeting. In June of this year the Smiths reached out at Village Hall, just as the next quarter’s bill was due. The family wanted to resolve the outstanding invoices, get the fees reversed, and ascertain the actual water costs. See page 23

From page 22 “At that point I did not care about the amounts - $588 and $611 – and we just wanted to straighten this out. We did not get any calls back. Nobody responded, Mr. Suozzi was unavailable. On July 12, Mr. DiFrancisco (the Deputy Village Administrator and Public Works’ superintendent) finally calls us back as he was likely asked to reach out to us. He said he would review our bills and get back to me – that was on July 12 and today is August 17. I’ve never gotten a call back from him, I called early this week and again today, but nobody is getting back to us. My wife finally went again to Village Hall today to tell the administration it has been one year and we need to have this straightened out. Why does it take so long to ‘look into’ this issue, after one year I’d like to know exactly what that means?” Smith said. Andrew Smith demanded an explanation for why Suozzi told the couple not to pay prior bills, despite the high increases, if the possibility and inevitability of the amounts going onto their tax roll was real. Stacy Smith expressed her frustration in getting to know the Village Hall staff over the same issue for the past 13 months: “It takes multiple visits for me to have to come in to even get one phone call back,” she told the Board of Trustees. The Smiths’ meter was changed on August 9, 2016. The April 8, 2017 edition of The Garden City News, the first installment of the village’s “Garden City Update - News and Information,” replacing the weekly Mayor’s Column, states the following: “Most of the meters being replaced were decade’s old and ceased accurately measuring water usage a long time ago… Please note that the new water meters recently installed in your home will more accurately capture your water usage, which may lead to an increase in your water bill. The new meters were thoroughly tested prior to installation. The increase in your water bill results from more accurate measuring of your water usage.” The Smiths say they polled neighbors and everyone except them report bills in line with what they historically had been. Suozzi’s comment to the Smiths at the meeting started with numbers, saying out of the 4,000 new meters two dozen residents have complained about the water bills in the last 12 months. “We also had the meter tested and I told Mrs. Smith don’t worry about the penalty because that would be removed from your bills,” he said. The Smiths contested the procedure, saying they spoke with “Angela in the Village Hall tax department” and she said there was a second penalty for the village to have to add the outstanding water bills to their tax roll. “At this point I had $286 worth in

penalties from the village water and tax departments,” he said. Mayor Brian Daughney addressed that notion and said those penalties will be removed immediately. He also said the trustees sympathize with the Smiths, and the response or explanation from the village shouldn’t take so long. He said residents did need to expect some change after meters up to 60 and 80 years old in the village were replaced, and some old meters weren’t functioning to count water usage. “With any new meter you’re going to have changes. I can understand that because we had the new meters put in everywhere it is possible yours is defective. I could understand letting the new meter continue for a quarter or two then to get some baseline readings." At the August 17 meeting, Garden City Deputy Mayor Theresa Trouvé said it is entirely unacceptable for residents or anyone else trying to reach a village department, over the phone or via email, to not hear back in a timely matter. She felt that the Administrator’s Office should have followed up faster, saying if a reply and explanation was promised, whether in the Smiths’ case or otherwise, that should be provided and detailed to the extent possible. The deputy mayor says since she was a CPOA board members and becoming a village trustee in 2014, residents ‘not receiving a call back’ from Village Hall has been a consistent problem. Trustee Robert Bolebruch, who previously served as chairman of the Board’s Finance and Audit Committee, asked the Smiths to please recollect prior water bill amounts before the new meter was installed in 2016. Administrator Suozzi started to answer with amounts from $90 to $94 per period. Andrew Smith explained some totals aloud at the August meeting: “For the period when I got the water bill of $588 in 2016, the year before that (with the old meter) it was $199. The year before that (2014) it was $129. A year before that, $169. Same period in 2012 it was $188; and in that period in 2011 it was $167.” He added that the five-year average for the same quarter as the $588 bill was $170. For the following quarter, “with the jacked bill for $611” Smith said the totals averaged $257. Trustee Bolebruch then broke down what the Smiths’ average water bill should have been minus the excess and the penalties. Noting that the annual grievance day has passed four months ago and with the village still working on the Smiths’ billing issue, Mayor Daughney asked the Board for an immediate resolution for the couple. The Board of Trustees voted to eliminate their excess charges and penalties and Administrator Suozzi promised to follow up further.

As Garden City Schools prepare to reopen for another school year, I thought it might be interesting to remember the beginning of another school year. In September 1883 the first school building in Garden City opened. 134 years ago there were very few people living here and no public school buildings in Garden City. However there was St. Paul’s School, a military school for boys until the early 1890’s, St. Paul’s was a renowned private school. Along with its sister school for girls St. Mary’s (1892) this building played a huge role in Garden City’s formative years. Both schools began in houses in 1877 supplied by Cornelia Stewart in memory of her husband, A.T. Stewart, who died in 1876. This photo was taken of the young cadets in the late 1880’s. Note how similar they look to the Union soldiers from the Civil War which ended just over 20 years before this photo was taken.

Student Activist Grant Available The Student Activist Grant of the Ethical Humanist Society of Long Island is available to Nassau County middle school and high school students who want to create a better world. The $500 grant funds a selected student’s project in areas of peace, humanitarian efforts, the environment, disaster relief, or disadvantaged groups. The project can be a fundraiser that connects to an existing organization (such as the Habitat for Humanity) or makes a direct change (such as a neighborhood clean-up or voter registration drive). The grant will give the student seed money to conduct the project. Previous Student Activist Grants have supported safe recycling of medicine containers for clinics in Malawi, building a greenhouse on a high school campus, spring baskets for children in homeless shelters, educating high school students about underage drink-

ing with stickers on pizza boxes, creating an outdoor play area at a homeless shelter, running a Bowl-a-thon for Habitat for Humanity, and creating and selling ornaments to raise money for a breast cancer program. Says 2015 grant recipient Matthew Berman of Roslyn High School who collected 3500 pill bottles that were sent to Africa, “I am so grateful for this opportunity that the grant presented me with to turn this plan on paper into a successful and functioning reality.” The student must be a Nassau County resident, aged 12 to 18, and enrolled in middle school or high school. The application deadline is November 30, 2017, with the project to be completed before April 30, 2018. For more detailed information about the grant and an application, go to www.ehsli.org (Social Action tab) or call 516-741-7304.

Here we are at the end of the summer. My, how quickly it passed away. The pool will be closed for the season as you read this and all eyes will be on the first day of school. How time flies. The clubs that take off for the summer will be starting up again with luncheons and fascinating programs for members to enjoy -- things to do and places to go. Should I leave out the big thing for all the housewives - fall cleaning. You can tell by the cars in the school parking lots that they are all in setting up the schedule for the first day of school and much of what will come after that day. Parents should remember that they loved through it too. As I told you before - the members of the Community Club and Hempstead will start off the season with their Friendship Luncheon at Westbury Manor on September 27th. October 4th will be a musical program featuring songstress Jean McCormick. This will be followed by a tour tot he Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. What a wonderful way to start a club year... September is a great time for he year. The colors are going to be changing and our gardens will take on a new look. We should not forget our gardens as they will show new color with the mums in full bloom. The trees will be next to change their colors and there will start to be a crispness in the air. Enjoy it! On October 10th the Community Club of Garden City and Hempstead is going on a tour of the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens and on October 12th the same club will present a musical program by Louis Barrella on Celebrating Elizabeth 1st in Art, Film, History and Opera. This same club will take a trip to the Federal Courthouse in Islip sponsored by the Americaninsm / Current Events group. Another department of the

same club will present “Pioneers of Television C o m e d y : Carol Burnett.” Now if you have ever wondered what the “White House” looked like inside, Frank Lazzaro, author and former decorator for holidays and state dinners at the White House under Presidents Ford, Carter and Reagan. That is worth looking at so you can get some good ideas for your own properties. What more could you ask for? I must say that the benefits of joining a club - especially one like the Community Club - is that you have a wide choice of programs and tours and it’s all arranged for you. All you have to do is sign up for it and send in your check. A bus takes you to all of the places you most likely would not drive to. Think about it. Fall is coming so beware! Weather can be varied as the seasons change so if you have to put your house plants outside - think about setting a time during September when you can take them in. I know that the weather is nice now, but one can check those house plants out and be ready to take them in as the temperatures start to go down. Mother Nature is a very changeable lady and you can’t or should not leave it up to her. When the seasons change the temperature become changeable too. Keep listening to those weather reports and do not take chances. If you have potted plants give them more sun and a bit of shelter. By the way, September’s full moon was called the Corn Moon because this was the time to harvest corn. My house plants will be coming in soon even though they have been on a screened porch - they should be sprayed. Good luck!

6 things to share with your doctor It is important to be honest with a doctor about certain health habits, but sometimes it isn’t so easy to be forthcoming. Fear of being judged or discussing embarrassing situations may prevent some patients from telling medical professionals the whole story. However, the things people do not share could end up compromising their treatment or prevent doctors from discovering certain ailments. Rather than omitting information, people need to be frank with their doctors. Honesty is important when speaking with a physician, even when the discussion turns to the following potentially sensitive topics. 1. Smoking: Even if you aren’t a daily smoker, mention if you smoke in social situations or grab a drag once in a while. Smoking increases the risk for many illnesses and can compromise how effective some medications can be. 2. Alcohol consumption: Be honest about how much you drink, as alcohol can interfere with medications.

3. Supplement usage: Over-thecounter medicines, herbs and other supplements can affect overall health. A doctor needs to know the entire picture before prescribing treatment. 4. Exercise habits: Don’t claim to be a gym rat if you’re more of a couch potato. An accurate idea of their patients’ fitness levels and habits is a key diagnostic tool for physicians. 5. Unusual issues: Be forthright with any issues, even those that occur in embarrassing areas of the body. Remember, if you’re uncomfortable with your doctor, you can always get a referral for a specialist who treats those areas of the body daily. 6. Drug use: Prescriptions are written in dosages for the intended recipient. Taking drugs that are not prescribed to you, whether it’s a loved one’s prescription or an illicit drug, affects your body. If you have a medical issue, consult with your doctor so you can get your own legal prescription or begin working toward addressing your addiction.

Fear of being judged or discussing embarrassing situations may prevent some patients from telling medical professionals the whole story. However, the things people do not share could end up compromising their treatment or prevent doctors from discovering certain ailments.

A CLINICAL RESEARCH STUDY FOR INSOMNIA PATIENTS WHO ALSO HAVE ALZHEIMER’S. If you or your loved one has insomnia - and also has Alzheimer’s - we invite you to learn more about a clinical research study. To be eligible for participation, you or your loved one must:

• Be 50 to 90 years old • 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.

ADVERTORIAL

ALZHEIMER’S: WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW?

The two concerning statistics many families confront: Every 66 seconds someone develops Alzheimer’s. One in every three seniors die of Alzheimer’s or Dementia. While the prevalence is very concerning there is new hope, as many promising therapies are in the pipeline. Unfortunately, the diagnosis of Alzheimer’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. Contact us to learn more about our treatment programs and clinical trials:

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

“Brown in Black & White”: Paul Brown Exhibit at GC Public Library

Paul Desmond Brown (1893-1958) was an international equine artist and author who deserves recognition. Although he was very well known in the 1920s through the 1950s, current Garden City residents will again be aware of his artistic genius. Brown helped promote great horse racing courses like Saratoga in the United States and Aintree in England, as well

as the sport of polo and fox hunting through his art and writing. His drawings, especially of horses, are a delight for all ages with their animation and realism. In the course of researching Paul Brown’s life, Suzie Alvey, Assistant Village Historian was able to connect the Browns with long-lost relatives in Minnesota. “I especially enjoy

researching artists who have lived here in town. When I found out about the Brown connections in Minnesota, one woman said that I am a ‘family history matchmaker!’ I have to thank Alice Brown; her son, Chris Brown and Coleen Lindemann, Director of Maple River Heritage, Inc. for making this exhibit so comprehensive,” Suzie remarked.

The exhibit, “Brown in Black & White,” features drawings, paintings, books and a fascinating history connected with Paul Brown, who lived on Washington Avenue and Roxbury Road. The show runs until September 30th and is located in the lower level gallery at the Garden City Public Library, 60 Seventh Street. Please check the library website for hours.

Calling all Cub Scouts: Register for Pack 7 in September September Pack Meeting

Cub Scouts Pack 7 would like to invite all interested Garden City boys in grades 1-5 and parents to attend our September Pack Meeting at Stewart School. Pack Meetings are fun-filled events for the whole family to participate in and enjoy. Flyers will be sent home soon after the first day of school announcing the date and time of our Pack Meeting. We will have registration forms at our information table for interested new scouts to sign up. You can also contact Pack 7 Cub Master, Marc Mehlman at marc.mehlman@ gmail.com or Pack 7 Parent Committee Chair Michele Mierzejewski at michemez@yahoo.com for more information. Cub Scouting is the foundation of The Boy Scouts of America and involves the whole family as parents pitch in to plan and deliver activities. Boys and their families have fun and adventure in a program that builds character and instills values. Cub Scouting encourag-

es boys to be trustworthy, loyal, helpful, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, and reverent. Pack 7 also participates in Community Service projects. In the 2016-2017 Scouting year, Pack 7 raised funds via a community service project proposed by Cub Scout Zachary Mehlman at the initial Pack meeting. Zachary came up with the idea for Pack 7 to raise funds throughout the year by collecting plastic bottles and cans and redeeming them for cash to be donated to a charity. The various dens engaged in a friendly competition to raise the most money. The leading den was awarded a pizza party and the privilege of selecting the charity of their choice. Den 6 Scouts raised the largest amount of money - $227.30 and selected The Child Life Program at NYU Winthrop Hospital as the recipient of the funds collected. Den 6 made up of: Luke Agrippina, Jospeh Arlia, Theodore Castro, Ethan Chapman, Anthony Clemente, Dhruv

Saratoga Springs is Firmly En Pointe as Center for Dance, Culture BY KAREN RUBIN

With just one full day to explore Saratoga Springs, I am still able to take in the high points that distinguish this town, which has been so popular a place for visitors going back to the 14th century, when its mineral springs were first discovered by Native Americans. Later, it became a major center for organized horse-racing, a

tradition which remains today, and draws the biggest crowds during the six-weeks of racing season. But Saratoga Springs, owing to the millionaires and elites and then the colleges including Skidmore, has also become a cultural mecca, especially for dance. The Saratoga Springs Performing Arts Center is the summer home for the New York City Ballet and now the

home of the National Museum of Dance. (see 8/18, 8/25) During my one full day in Saratoga Springs, after thoroughly exploring its horse-racing traditions at the race track and the National Museum of Racing, I next visit the National Museum of Dance, which is located just at the entrance to the Saratoga Spa State Park in what had been the historic Washington Bathhouse (there is still an exhibit to the historic spa). This is such a surprise. It exquisitely reflects the visual as well as the athletics and art of dance; surprised at seeing video going back to 1895 of dance. All the dance legends are represented with stunning photos, videos, costumes. Established in 1986, the National Museum of Dance & Hall of Fame is the only museum of its kind in the nation and one of only a few in the world dedicated to the art of dance (which is why they claim the name, “National.”) It is set in the former Washington Bathhouse, a 1918 Arts & Crafts style building in the Saratoga Spa State Park which provided health spa treatments (there are rooms you can visit from that time). The Museum’s archives house a growing collection of photographs, videos, costumes, documents, biographies and artifacts that honor all forms of dance throughout history. The museum’s galleries feature rotating exhibits and three permanent exhibits including the Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney Hall of Fame. Dancers in Film, a delightful ongoing exhibition, celebrates the relationship between dancers and film, and features both well-known

Highlighted in the exhibit are Lifetime Achievement Award Recipients Ann-Margret (2010), John Travolta (2014), and Chita Rivera (2015). You will love sitting and watching the fast-changing videos. I am frankly amazed to see some of the oldest ones, even from 1895 (at the very dawn of movie-making). Sparked by an abundant discourse both age-old and current, The

Dancing Athlete is an innovative exhibition that explores the inherent connections between dance and sports, and dancers and athletes, and the influence and confluence of these forms throughout history. Through costumes, photographs, video, objects, and archival materials, the exhibit examines these relationships within several themes such as cross training and physiological impact, shared movement vocabularies, and sports-inspired choreography, among others. A select group of athletes and dancers including Lynn Swann, Sugar

Ray Robinson, and Edward Villella are showcased as well as several choreographic works including Gene Kelly’s stunning “A Man’s Game”. By highlighting the athletic prowess of dancers and injecting popular sports and athletes, boys, especially, will better appreciate dance. Opened in 1987, the Dance Hall of Fame honors dance pioneers of all types whether they are choreographers, composers, writers, dancers, or patrons; there are more than 50 who are so far included in the Hall of Fame. Among them: Fred Astaire, George Balanchine, Agnes deMille, Rudolph Nureyev, Isadora Duncan, Martha Graham, Bill “Bojangles” Robinson, Busby Berkeley, Jerome Robbins, Alvin Ailey, Merce Cunningham, Paul Taylor, The Nicholas Brothers, Bob Fosse, Marge Champion, Tommy Tune, Edward Villella and Michael Jackson and the newest inductees, Gregory Hines and Patricia Wilde who are featured in special exhibits devoted to their careers (see a complete list of the inductees, http://dancemuseum.org/exhibits/hof. html). The Museum campus also includes the Lewis A. Swyer Studios, a building constructed specifically for the purpose of keeping live dance as part of the Museum’s offerings. The Swyer Studios welcome frequent master classes, lecture/demonstrations, residencies, and other programs, as well as the Museum’s very own dance school, the School of the Arts, which offers dance classes to all ages, levels, and interests. The Museum also offers a wide selection of special programs,

events, and workshops throughout the year. Twist! Jump! Play! Dance! The Alfred Z. Solomon Children’s Wing is an interactive space just for kids! It includes a video library, reading corner, movement and balance toys, stage area and more. The Kids’ Gallery showcases rotating exhibits of children’s artwork and allows visitors to create their own masterpieces as well. The museum also offers a Resource Room with thousands of books, periodicals, and print items for dance research available to the public. When I visit, I notice young girls, their hair tied back in the bun typical of dancers, looking on with adoration. This is their Cooperstown.

L.I. students head back to school! BY CLAIRE LYNCH It’s back to school time across Long Island and my family, like many families, has been gathering together backpacks and notebooks, new pens and pencils, lunch boxes and tablets. As the kids get their clothes and accessories ready for the new school year, many of them lament the unofficial end of summer and the fact that it is time to crack the books. Labor Day is on September 4 this year and most schools welcome back their students on September 5. It’s a brand-new year filled with the excitement that meeting new people and learning new things brings. For kindergartners it’s a time of exploring and discovery. Each accomplishment is a special moment, a time for applause. They learn how to count to 10. Many learn how to print their names for the first time. They spell new words and in time they sound out new words. They learn to read – if the youngsters haven’t done that before going to kindergarten – and they take a certain pleasure not only in reading books but in having them read to them. My friend, Lizzie, reads to her young children every night. My friend’s family has their routines – they have their dinner, play or watch TV for a while then when it’s time for the kids to get ready for bed they wash up and brush their teeth then hop into bed waiting for their mom or dad to read them a good book or two. The youngest kids enjoy hearing the Dr. Seuss books of course and the Biscuit books. The six year olds like the Pete the Cat books and the Pinkalicious and Purpilicious books. The boys like Dan Gutman’s “My Weird School” fiction books. The girls enjoy reading “Evangeline Mudd and the Golden-Haired Apes of the Ikkinasti Jungle” and the Amber Brown books. They hold their attention. Both boys and girls like reading “The Adventures of Taxi Dog.” Anything eye-catching and amusing usually draws them in. Many parents say that reading to their pre-school kids helps them learn to love reading and it also does a pretty good job in expanding their vocabulary. At school, the older kids get involved in doing research, going on computers, learning coding and assembling projects. Adjusting to the back-to-school routine can be hard at first for kids of all ages but after just a few days, most kids get acclimated to their routines. Whether they are taking the school bus, walking or going to school in a car

pool with friends, soon a routine is in place. This year my niece, Emma, and nephew, Kenny, came with my friend, Kelly, and me on a driving trip to Dennis Port, Mass., which is on Cape Cod. Another friend, Debbie, has lived there for more than 30 years. Both Debbie and her husband, Joe, work full-time jobs. During the winter they say that Dennis Port is pretty quiet with its year-round population of about 3,200 people. I would have thought that the area would get plenty of snow each winter but Debbie said that because it is an island and close to the Atlantic Ocean, they don’t get as much snow as some of the cities inland do. Once Memorial Day arrives, however, the Cape gets very busy with tourists. Dennis Port is east of Hyannis and southwest of Provincetown, Mass. Kelly, Emma, Kenny and I had the chance to visit Debbie and Joe, to have barbecues, go in the ocean which up north feels a lot colder than on Long Island, and a few times we took the 45-minute drive to Provincetown for meals at restaurants. Another time my two nephews, Patrick, Jr. and Jerry, had the chance to take a rather unusual trip with me, something I’m sure they will tell their friends about at school. We had a chance to go sleep with the wolves. My newest favorite wild animal is the wolf because not only have I read a lot about them but I recently had the chance to go to a non-profit place called the Wolf Conservation Center (WCC) which is about 25 miles northeast of White Plains, NY, that lets members of the general public “sleep with the wolves.” The Wolf Conservation Center is located in South Salem, NY – not to be confused with Salem, NY, which is where I thought it was at first and that’s a long drive north and just west of the Vermont border. That’s north of Albany. South Salem only takes about 70 minutes to get there from Long Island by car. My friend, Marie, called me recently and said that she and three friends were going there for the weekend so did I want to join them in an adjacent tent? I said yes of course and was excited about our mini-vacation. I wanted to see the wolves that were posted on the Wolf Conservation Center’s web site (nywolf.org). The four wolves they mentioned were in captivity behind strong chain link fences. Other wild wolves were located further back on the WCC’s land but no one was allowed near them. The pups they had in May will eventually be released into the wild.

As the weekend approached we were given specific instructions by the Wolf Conservation Center which was to arrive at 5 p.m. on a Friday, unpack our car and get situated in our outdoor tent that was provided by the WCC. After getting off Route 35, we drove on a dirt road up a hill to the big wrought-iron gate entrance of the WCC. We wanted to meet Marie and her three friends outside of the gate and with some excellent timing, both of our cars arrived a few minutes before 5 p.m. We parked briefly, said hello to each other and proceeded to drive through the gate. And surprisingly we had to drive our cars up another hill where we parked them for the night. We then were directed by staff to our camping area. The four-person tent was small and basic but all was fine with the experience. We brought our own sleeping bags, air mattresses, pillows, etc. We also brought along our flashlights, insect repellant, some gallons of water, snacks and other “essentials” for roughing it overnight. Marie had baked some homemade brownies that she brought along for everyone and her friend, Sandy, had brought a great big bag of popcorn for our little group so that was enjoyable. We planned on having some s’mores and iced tea later, before hitting the sack (i.e., sleeping bags) that Friday night. At 6 p.m. the program for our entire group, which was about 25 people, started. There was a dinnertime pizza party with the ambassador wolves Nikai, Zephyr, Alawa and Atka. We got lots of information from seeing a detailed movie about wolves and from the many staff members that were around. They explained about the WCC’s efforts to help wolves and to conserve them for years to come. The tour guide explained that Nikai which means “Little Saint” or “One Who Wanders” is a tan and gray wolf who joined the Wolf Conservation Center family in May of 2014. He currently lives with his brother Zephyr, and sister, Alawa. Together with Atka, they make up the Ambassador Pack - the wolves on view as part of the

WCC’s education programs. Atka is the oldest ambassador wolf at the Wolf Conservation Center. He arrived there from Minnesota when he was just eight days old. He was raised by the WCC staff, volunteers, ambassador wolves and Eno. Eno was the WCC’s resident German shepherd dog and ambassador wolf nanny. We saw how the wolves interacted with each other and how they responded to having humans visiting them. Our tour guide howled at the wolves behind the fence and sure enough they howled back. She said that we could do the same so in no time at all about 25 people were howling at the wolves and they howled back. Hearing the wolves howling, young Patrick said, “Wow, that’s awesome!” around the same time that I heard Jerry say, “That’s cool!” The wolves howled on several occasions but not during sleep time. Our tour guide explained that wolves are not nocturnal so just like people, they like to sleep at night. Our tour guide said that the largest wolf in captivity at the Wolf Conservation Center weighs about 95 lbs. The most exciting part of the weekend, I thought, was going to sleep outside in a tent with several wolves sleeping close by. I felt assured because they were safely behind fences (aka “enclosures”), but all of us visitors – who are animal lovers – definitely felt a sense of excitement in the air. We had that special chance to observe some wolves up close. On Saturday morning we got up early and had a light breakfast at about 8:30 a.m. We chatted with other attendees about our thoughts and feelings about wolves – and about how important conservation efforts are. We walked around the area, explored the natural setting then packed up our things. The Wolf Conservation Center was getting ready for another educational presentation with other visitors later that day so sadly for us, it was time to go. We said goodbye to Marie and her friends as they finished packing their car and prepared to head back to the See page D6

Questions from Seniors with Kids BY TOM MARGENAU

I haven’t seen any demographic numbers on this issue, but if the emailed questions I’m getting from golden years parents are any indication, then I think the number of senior citizens with young children at home is growing. I’m not talking about older folks raising one or more of their grandkids. That’s an issue I’ve discussed many times in this column. In a nutshell, I can tell them that grandkids usually will not qualify for benefits on grandma’s or grandpa’s Social Security record unless both parents are deceased or disabled. Or unless the grandparents have adopted the children. What I am discussing is people pushing Social Security age who have one or more minor children at home. And, of course, most of those inquiries are coming from men. I say that because of simple biology. It would be very rare for a woman in her 60s to have a child who is 18 years old or younger. (Eighteen is the usual cutoff age for children to qualify for Social Security dependent’s benefits.) So here are some examples of the questions I’ve been getting. Q: I am about to turn 62. I was planning to wait until 66 to retire and sign up for Social Security. But a guy I work with told me I might be financially ahead to sign up for Social Security now because I have a two kids, ages 12 and 10, and he said they could get benefits on my account. My wife is 47. And that same person told me she could also get Social Security. Is all of that true? A: It’s partially true. Assuming you stop working, you could apply for reduced retirement at age 62, and your kids would be due partial benefits on your account. For the time being, you can forget about your wife getting any Social Security on your account. Although the mother of a retiree’s minor children technically qualifies for benefits, there are two reasons why she won’t be due anything. One is if she is working. And the other reason has to do with rules that limit the amount of money that can be paid to a family with children getting Social Security benefits. For example, let’s say your full retirement age benefit is $2,000 per month. At age 62, you’d be due 75 percent of that, or $1,500. Each of your kids is technically due a rate equal to 50 percent of your FRA benefit. In other words, each child is due $1,000. But the law that limits what a family on Social Security can get generally caps your total benefits at 150 percent of your FRA amount. That means the maximum you and your family can get would be $3,000 per month. You have to be paid your benefit first. Again, that is $1,500. That leaves another $1,500 to be paid to your kids, so they would get $750 each. If your wife was not working, she could file for what are

called “young mother’s benefits.” But adding her to your record would merely split that remaining $1,500 three ways instead of two. In other words, she and the two kids would get $500 each. So there is no point in adding your wife to your Social Security account. Q: I took my Social Security when I was 66 years old. I am now 68. My wife is about to turn 66. We have a 32-year-old son living at home who has been severely disabled since birth. He is getting benefits on my Social Security record. We are wondering this: Can my wife sign up for spousal benefits on my record and save her own until age 70 when she would get the bonus for delayed retirement? A: Normally your wife could do that. (That is the “file and restrict” strategy that has been explained countless times in this column.) But because of the family maximum rules discussed in the previous answer, there would be no point in pursuing that strategy. Once again, I’ll use some numbers to explain. Let’s say you are getting $2,500 per month. Your son would be getting half of that -- $1,250. That means you are already being paid the 150 percent maximum family rate ($3,750) this is due on your Social Security account. If your wife were to file for spousal benefits on your record, she would technically also be due $1,250 per month. But because you and your son are already being paid the maximum benefit, anything paid to her would simply come off of what your son is due. Therefore, your wife and son would simply split the $1,250 that is left over after your $2,500 retirement benefit is paid, meaning they would get $625 each. So there is no point in having her file for spousal benefits because you will end up with the same $3,750 in total family benefits. Your wife can still delay signing up for her own Social Security until age 70 if she wants in order to get the delayed retirement bonus you mentioned. (She’d get an extra 32 percent tacked on to her monthly Social Security check.) It’s just that she won’t get anything on your record in the meantime. Q: I took my Social Security at age 66. I have a 49-year-old wife who is a stay-at-home mom and a 15-year-old son. They both get benefits on my record. I was told my wife’s benefits will stop when my son turns 16. Why? A: The law says a young mother’s benefits stop when her child turns 16. I’m sure the law assumes that once a child reaches that age, the government no longer needs to provide child care support to the mom. That’s the bad news for you. But the good news is that because of those family maximum rules I’ve been explaining in this column, the money amount you get each month won’t change. Frankly, there really

was no point in having your wife on your Social Security account in the first place because she and your son are simply splitting the benefit he normally would have received on his own. So when your son reaches age 16 and your wife comes off the beneficiary rolls,

your son will simply get the full amount they were getting together. If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has the answer. Contact him at thomas.margenau@comcast.net. COPYRIGHT 2017 CREATORS.COM

At the visitor center you can pick up some wonderful self-guided tours, such as North Broadway, “a neighborhood of exceptional residential architecture”; West Side Neighborhood (“The City’s first prime residential location, where many of the people who owned, supported and worked in the bustling resort industry lived.:”and East Side Neighborhood, once home to Skidmore College, rich in history and spectacular architecture, including stunning examples of Greek Revival, Victorian, Gothic, Italianate, Second Empire and Queen Anne styles. On the Friday night I am in Saratoga Springs, I have a plethora of choices:

watching harness racing, polo matches, a performance of the New York City Ballet, and any number of live music venues, including Caffe Lena. I wander over to Caffè Lena, a famous folk-music venue which the New York times in 2013 called “Folk Music Heaven, was sporting a $2 million renovation, its first since opening in the 1960, and had people lined up out the door hoping to get through a waitlist for that evening’s performance. It actually offers a range of styles – folk, jazz, poetry night, open-mike night and still retains the intimacy of a small room and small stage, so you are mere feet away from the performer. “Opened in a former woodworking shop in 1960, the café has helped launch many of America’s best loved songwriters, ranging from Bob Dylan in 1961 to Sawyer Fredericks in 2014, with an dazzling Who’s Who list in between. When founder Lena Spencer passed away in 1989, Caffè Lena was converted to a non-profit institution supported by concert revenue, private and corporate donors, grants and bequests, and an

ever-evolving team of volunteers.” (Caffè Lena, 47 Phila Street, 518-5830022, Tickets: 800-838-3006, email: sales@ caffelena.org. caffelena.org.)

L.I. students head back to school! C ontinued from page D3 Danbury, Ct., area. We had fun seeing them and hanging out with them while we were all at the Wolf Conservation Center. Then we shut our car doors and got ready to head back to Long Island. We were sorry to leave the Wolf Conservation Center but hope to go back and visit some other time. I am

sure that Patrick, Jr. and Jerry will have plenty to tell their friends and classmates about this school year – about the time when they “slept with the wolves” in Westchester County. Back home everyone got back into their summertime routines. My nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends got together occasionally and played some long games of Monopoly, Splendor, Chutes and Ladders, and Jenga. My nephew Kenny, who’s nine,

is pretty good at playing Monopoly. He likes to acquire Park Place and Boardwalk as fast as he can and he gets rather miffed if someone else snaps up those two spots first. I tell him that getting the four railroads are pretty good but he doesn’t want to hear it. He’s got his own strategy for building houses and hotels on the Monopoly board and he’s always pleased when he wins the game. When the weather was nice outside

we played some horseshoes and spent time playing miniature golf. We wanted to keep the kids off of their computers and iPads, their tablets and smart phones. Texting was put on the back burner. The Internet has its place, of course, but so does running around in the back yard, playing with others and just having fun. Good old-fashioned socializing is cool.

Finding balance with extracurricular activities

Many high schools, colleges and universities emphasize their goals of producing well-rounded students. Extracurricular activities teach students important life lessons, provide them opportunities to socialize and often stimulate their minds and bodies in ways that differ from the stimulation provided in the classroom. Data from the U.S. Census Bureau states that, in 2014, 57 percent of children between the ages of 6 and 17 participate in at least one after-school extracurricular activity. Children are more likely to participate in sports than clubs or lessons, such as music, dance and language, but each of these activities can be beneficial to students’ development. Students who participate in extracurricular activities may want to limit their participation to 20 hours per week. This is according to a group of professors from Stanford University and Villanova University who have been collecting data on the issue since 2007. In their report “Extracurricular Activity in High-Performing School Contexts: Stress Buster, Booster or Buffer?”, Jerusha Conner and Sarah Miles found that 87 percent of kids who would be considered to have packed schedules were perfectly happy unless they were doing more than four hours a day. The “over-scheduling hypothesis” may be overhyped. This is the concern that too much organized activity participation leads to poor developmental outcomes. This hypothesis also suggests that hectic schedules also undermine family functioning, detract from schoolwork and possibly increase the risk of copycat behaviors and excessive competitiveness. However, in the study “The Over-Scheduling Hypothesis Revisited:

Intensity of Organized Activity Participation During Adolescence and Young Adult Outcomes,” researchers J.L. Mahoney and Andrea Vest determined that, controlling for demographic factors and baseline adjustment, extracurricular intensity was a significant predictor of positive outcomes and unrelated to indicators of problematic adjustment (e.g., psychological distress, substance use, antisocial behavior) at young adulthood. Even though extracurricular activities are largely positive — even when schedules are packed — parents need to be aware of the diminishing returns of too many activities. This is something called the “threshold effect.” Benefits from extracurriculars can level off when too many activities are being juggled. If a child is experiencing anxiety, sleeplessness or depression, or seems overly stressed, it could be time to reduce students’ time spent doing structured activities. It’s essential that families use the cues given by kids to assess what students can handle. And children should be encouraged to be honest with their parents about their extracurricular activities as well.

Take a course in dorm safety

College students have a few different living options at their disposal, but many opt for dormitory living, as it is one of the more convenient and popular boarding options, particularly for out-of-town students. Thousands of post-secondary students pack up their belongings and move away from home in the pursuit of an education, and parents want to do what they can to ensure their college-aged kids are safe. For many students, college represents the first time they will live anywhere other than the homes they grew up in. Dorm life can be an exciting adventure, but it can also be one that may open new college students up to inherently risky situations. While students should look forward to fun and excitement at school, it’s also important for them to be prepared for what lies ahead at college and in dorm life — and to take the proper safety precautions. • Fall in with a trustworthy group of dorm friends. Friends can be informed of your schedule for both Dorm room and campus safety should be a top priority for classes and work, so they are aware of where you are students. supposed to be at certain times of the day. If someroom door locked, and make sure your roommate is on thing is amiss, these friends can alert authorities or the same page. Locking the door can deter people from investigate your whereabouts further. • Lock your dorm room door. Always keep the dorm entering without your permission and prevent theft.

• Keep belongings out of sight. When preparing to move into a dorm, leave heirlooms or expensive jewelry at home. Once you move in, store your more valuable belongings out of sight or in a locked box or safe. Consider getting insurance for dorm belongings, which will protect you in the event of theft. • Travel in groups. When attending parties or other functions, always arrive and leave in a group. This offers extra protection, as assaults and other crimes are less likely to occur when criminals are outnumbered. • Know the evacuation routes. Learn your dorm’s evacuation policies. Know where all exits are and how to get out of the building if exits may be blocked. Find out if fire drills or other safety procedures are practiced, and participate in them. • Use the elevator. If there’s an elevator, use it. Stairwells are secluded and dark and often provide the perfect opportunity for would-be criminals to take advantage of unsuspecting students. Use common sense and trust your instincts with regard to dorm safety. Make college memories good ones by emphasizing caution.

Children, adolescents and young adults can be the victims of a pervasive type of abuse called cyberbullying. Today’s students have many new things to contend with as they navigate the school year. As a greater number of schools transition to providing lessons, homework and tests on digital devices, students spend much more time online. This connectivity can have many positive results. However, the same availability also opens up students of all ages to various dangers. One of these dangers is a more invasive form of bullying called “cyberbullying.” The global organization DoSomething.org says nearly half of kids have been bullied online, with one in four saying it has happened more than once. Cyberbullying has grown as access to computers and devices that offer an online connection has grown. Bullying is now just as likely to occur online as it is on the playground. Cyberbullies may bully classmates through email, social media, instant messaging, and other social applications. Since cyberbullying tends to target emotions and mental well-being, and reaches beyond the school campus into a student’s home, its impact can be even more serious. According to the Megan Meier Foundation, which campaigns against bullying, peer victimization during adolescence is associated with higher rates of depression, suicide ideation and suicide attempts. In the United States, suicide is the second leading cause of death for individuals between the ages of 15 and 24, according to data compiled from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Center for Behavioral Health Statistics, and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Cyberbullying occurs in many different forms. Here are some types of cyberbullying educators and parents can look

for if they suspect their students or children are being bullied. • Flaming: This is a type of bullying that occurs in an online forum or group conversation. It’s achieved by sending angry or insulting messages directly to the person. Flaming is similar to harassment, but harassment usually involves privately sent messages. • Outing: This type of bullying is a sharing of personal and private information about a person publicly. When information has been disseminated throughout the internet, one has been “outed.” • Fraping: Fraping occurs when someone logs into another’s social media account and impersonates him or her. This could be a child or an adult impersonating the person and posting inappropriate content in his or her name. Sometimes this type of bullying is also called “posing” or “catfishing.” • Masquerading: Masquerading occurs when bullies create fake profiles so they can harass someone anonymously. The bully is likely someone the person being targeted knows well. • Exclusion: Sometimes direct targeting is not necessary. Students can be bullied simply by being deliberately left out, such as not being invited to parties or encouraged to participate online conversations. Securing privacy online is one way to prevent cyberbullying attacks. Students also can be selective about who they share personal information with or whose social media friendships they accept. Thinking before posting and paying attention to language and tone can help curb cyberbullying as well. Students should stick together and report instances of cyberbullying if it becomes an issue.

Add health screenings to back-to-school checklist

As summer vacation winds down, thoughts turn from jaunts to the beach to readying for a new school year. To-do lists include many of the typical tasks that precede going back to the classroom, including shopping for new clothes, purchasing school supplies and finishing summer reading assignments. Another essential requirement parents must find time for is completing their children’s health screenings and immunizations so youngsters can return to school. Health screenings may include, but may not be limited to, routine physical exams, eye exams and dental cleanings. Each school district may have its own set of health requirements that must be met in order for children to attend school. Many schools require that children are up-to-date with all immunizations before they can begin a new school year. While the issue of vaccinations has inspired debate in recent years, parents should recognize that many schools will only exempt students from receiving certain vaccinations due to religious reasons. For a list of state vaccination requirements and possible exemptions for schools in the United States, visit www2a.cdc.gov/nip/ schoolsurv/schImmRqmt.asp. Students who have specific learning disabilities or medical conditions that require classroom modification should obtain recent documentation from any therapists or specialists prior to beginning a new school year. Doing so facilitates the process of setting up procedures within the school while ensuring children have what they need to excel in the classroom. All parents may want to ask doctors to provide copies of medical and immunization records so that schools will

have the most recent copies on file. Parents should schedule eye examinations well in advance of the first day of school so they have ample time to fill new prescriptions for youngsters before school begins. This ensures kids won’t be starting off on the wrong foot because of vision problems that could already have been addressed. Parents of adolescents or students on the verge of adolescence may want to address the subject of bodily changes before the school year begins anew. Address which changes can be expected, including the start of menstruation for girls. This will help children better understand what is happening when they witness changes in themselves and fellow classmates and give them a chance to receive accurate information rather than gossip from their peers. Keep in mind that health screenings conducted in advance of the school year may not preclude students from school-sponsored screenings. Schools may offer their own vision and hearing screenings and may take physical measurements to ensure students are growing on schedules in line with normal development.

Schedule visits to the doctor, dentist and an eye doctor so your child is up-to-date upon the dawn of a new school year.

Why Holy Cross? Holy Cross High School is a catholic college preparatory school located in Queens, New York. Following the educational and spiritual vision of the Blessed Father Basil Moreau, founder of the Congregation of the Holy Cross, Holy Cross is dedicated to educating the hearts and minds of young people. In the spring of 2017, Holy Cross High School enhanced its mission by announcing the decision to move to co-education. Beginning this fall with the Class of 2022, and each year after, young women can apply to join Holy Cross. In so doing, Holy Cross High School joined the vast majority of schools sponsored by the congregation of Holy Cross in the United States who have also observed the guidance of Blessed Basil Moreau. The mission to educate young people in the Holy Cross tradition of the Catholic faith and to prepare them for future life situations, remains as important today as it did when our school first opened. The professional faculty at Holy Cross is well experienced and adept at implementing educational practices and techniques designed to meet each student’s individual learning style. With a 12:1 student teacher ratio and over 60

electives and 25 advanced placement and honors courses, Holy Cross High School offers an inspiring selection of classes to spark new interests and allow students to carve a personalized career path, from pre-med, computer science, and engineering. Our International travel is

an exceptional way for students to apply the concepts they discuss on campus to their real-world experiences. Holy Cross High School is dedicated to providing a challenging college preparatory education aligned with state and national criteria through various academic

programs. Every freshman receives their own laptop through our 1:1 Chromebook program. Recently, Holy Cross received a gift of $1,000,000 from an alumnus for enhancements to our Stream program (Science, Theology, Robotic, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics).We have a strong alumni network offering invaluable guidance to students as they explore their colleges of choice. The Congregation of the Holy Cross also sponsors six colleges and universities in the United States including St. Edward’s University, the University of Portland, Stonehill College, King’s College, Holy Cross College, and the University of Notre Dame. Our graduates have a competitive edge in regards to scholarships and programs when applying to these colleges, as these schools are aware of the quality education our students receive at Holy Cross. Last spring, 1 out of 3 graduates received an academic award, with the Class of 2017 earning over $20,000,000 in academic scholarships. “How we educate the MIND will change with the times; How we cultivate the HEART is and will remain TIMELESS”.

Students practice blasting real shofars during Rosh Hashanah Children’s Service The Garden City Jewish Center’s Religious School is approaching an exciting new year. Opening day is on Sunday, September 10th from 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM. The Sundays-only religious school starts each session with a weekly service, during which every child participates and gets hands-on experience conducting the rituals, singing, and chanting Hebrew and English prayers. This gets our students ready to conduct their own Bar or Bat Mitzvah service in a fairly easy and “painless” way, by gaining confidence and experience over the course of several years. Students are then placed in age appropriate groups and travel with their peers to short Hebrew, History and Bible studies classes. The final most popular class of the day is a multi-age session of a Jewish cultural experience, taught by artist Margie Edelman, and usually features an art or sculpture project that the students and teachers find interesting, fun and educational! This year, as always, free Children’s Services and activities are held on Rosh Hashanah (Thursday September

Purim Carnival donut on a string game

21st from 10:30 AM – 12 PM), and Yom Kippur (Saturday September 30th from 10:30-12 PM). Other holiday services and celebrations are held throughout the year, including the Simchat Torah pizza party, Chanukkah latke and dessert party, Purim pizza party & carnival, and the Lag B’Omer game day. Each third Friday of the month features a family friendly 7 PM start time to an abbreviated Shabbat Service. The school program is run by an experienced, certified volunteer teaching staff, directed by Carolyn Hoera, Rabbi Stephen Goodman and Student Cantor Amelia Lavranchuk. Join the Garden City Jewish Center for a New Member Open House on Friday, September 8th at 7:30 PM before Shabbat Services. Wine and cheese will be served! The Garden City Jewish Center is a warm and friendly Reform congregation where everyone is welcome – Jews of all denominations, dual-faith families, singles and students. Please go to www.gardencityjewishcenter.org for more information!

Free legal consultation clinic As a free community service to help those fearful of losing their homes, Nassau County Bar Association hosts Mortgage Foreclosure/Sandy Recovery Free Legal Consultation Clinics. Held twice a month to meet the demand, the next two clinics are scheduled for Monday, September 11 and Monday, September 25, 3 - 6 p.m., at the Nassau County Bar Association, located on 15th Street at the corner of West Street in Mineola, two blocks south of the bus and train stations. NCBA volunteer attorneys meet oneon-one with homeowners who are then referred for additional help for mortgage modifications, loan restructuring, bankruptcy, financial planning assistance, services for lower income households or emotional support. Many of these resources and agencies are available immediately in the same room, such as American Debt Resources, LI Housing Partnership, La Fuerza Unida, and LI Housing Services. There are no income restrictions to attend the clinics. Since 2009, NCBA

has held more than 160 clinics assisting more than 12,000 Nassau families in distress. Currently, each clinic averages 30 - 50 homeowners, signifying that foreclosure continues to be prevalent in Nassau. Volunteer attorneys also answer Sandy victims’ questions regarding homeowner, flood, property damage and automobile insurance claims; FEMA, debt deferral, and consumer protection issues. Bi-lingual attorneys fluent in Spanish are on site. Attorneys bi-lingual in other languages, including Russian, Haitian Creole, Korean, Chinese, Hindi and American Sign Language, may be requested when making reservations. To make an appointment for the next clinic, call the Bar Association at 516747-4070. Attendees are asked to bring their mortgage documents or other important papers and correspondence with them.

The teams will play in the highly competitive Island Garden Super League. In order to be eligible for tryouts, all players must pre register for the tryout via email to gliberopoulos@yahoo.com and bring a check for $415 payable to â&#x20AC;&#x153;GCAAâ&#x20AC;? to the try out (along with a completed travel baskefile://localhost/mailbox/:::Users:Meg:Library:Thunderbird:Profiles:juwqga5p.default:Mail:pop.gcnews. com:Inbox%3Fnumber=1707310956tball application which can be downloaded from the gc-aa.com website.) Please note there is an additional charge of $50 for all players that require a new uniform (ALL 3rd grade boys will need a new uniform this year.) The Island Garden Super League season includes an 18 game schedule (plus playoffs) starting in late November 2017 and running thru March 2018. Travel Teams will also practice 1-2 times per week. Please note that the travel program is not an introductory program as our teams will play against the best basketball teams in our region. GCAA Travel does its best to work around Middle School/CYO conflicts during the basketball season and ensures that there are no scheduling conflicts between travel/intramural games. GCAA aims to create two or three teams per grade subject to adequate demand and available coaching. For girls in 4th - 8th grades, we will consider starting the travel season in January 2018 in order to avoid CYO conflicts if there is an interest in doing so. The $415 Travel Fee due at the time

of tryouts includes participation in the GCAA intramural program. Boys 6th grade and under and Girls 5th grade and under are required to play intramurals if they make a travel team. Boys 7th grade and older and Girls 6th grade and older are strongly encouraged to participate in the intramural program although there is no requirement to do so, even if they make a travel team.
