Board focuses on restrictions, permits for Parking Field 7N

ON THE ROAD TO VICTORY

at various grade levels. One year ago, the search process for a new superintendent of schools created the need for a similar process although an executive search firm, Hazard, Young, Attea (HYA) Associates was hired and public scoping meetings were held. This fall the school district has a more finite approach and goals to see its Guidance Department and leadership at the administrative level evolve. The first steps towards finding a new director, and the con-

At the Thursday September 20 meeting of Garden City’s Village Board of Trustees, measures were proposed to address many concerns over the misuse of village parking field 7N by both LIRR commuters who arrive early and use the lot for free daily weekday parking and by operators of commercial vehicles (trucks or large vans) who park in 7N overnight. The Board of Trustees and the village’s Traffic Commission have repeatedly heard the concerns of the Central Property Owners’ Association (CPOA) and residents of Hilton Hall and other neighboring 7th Street apartment complexes as the issue over residents not getting parking spaces was brought up at municipal meetings in the course of the last 18 months. Last Thursday the Board was preparing to vote to modify the Village Code and Policies that would move oversight and regulation of village parking lots into the Board of Trustees’ control, from the Traffic Commission’s. Among the ideas, Village Code was to be modified to prohibit commercial vehicles from overnight parking in village owned parking lots. The issue was not addressed or considered by either the Traffic Commission or Board of Trustees prior to a Hilton Hall resident’s comments at a board meeting a few months ago. Ideas and potential remedies, including new parking costs for apartment dwellers, were discussed at length on September 20. Ultimately the trustees planned to continue gathering relevant information before changes are taken to control the heavily used downtown village parking lot and address any loopholes for commuters. On May 24, CPOA liaison to the Traffic Commission Pat DiMattia spoke about concerns that persisted among village residents as they observed the misuse of Lot 7N. One day, DiMattia waited to check on how many people she could see parking their cars and then crossing from 7N to walk to the LIRR station behind the library. As reported in the News on June 1, DiMattia offered the following context to the Commission as she wondered

District outlines guidance director search BY RIKKI N. MASSAND At its meeting on Wednesday, September 12, the Garden City Board of Education discussed the selection of a new Director of Guidance for the district. Superintendent of Schools Dr. Kusum Sinha said the long-term plan involves the directorial position covering guidance for grades kindergarten through 12 and helping the schools administration with its implementation and compliance with a new mental health education (instructional) requirements, recently signed into

New York State law and in effect as of July 1, the start of the 2018-2019 academic year. On Sunday, September 23, NBC News reported that the new legislation “adds a paragraph to the state’s Education Law mandating mental health as part of health education in schools.” New York became the first state in the country to require mental health to be taught as part of health education. The new law provides individual districts with the ability to design the curricula and lesson plans covering pertinent topics of mental health, appropriate

Fitness facility needed

To the Editor: To the response regarding the usage of St. Paul as a trade school vs a fitness facility I would like to add a few comments to the writer of that article: 1. With regards to running- there are only the side walks and busy streets for the public to run on and as anyone who runs knows certain times of the day are just treacherous to be out. The only track available is at the High School. Other communities have public tracks. Not just tracks allocated to a school that may not be available at certain times 2. Fitness is not just about running. There is overall conditioning that can only be done with a multitude of fitness equipment as well as ample space to perform these activities. Hence using the indoor facilities at St Paul’s to accommodate our athletes and parents here in town would be a major benefit. People pay a lot of money to use facilities outside this town (LA fitness, NYSC etc). Why not have a facility that only GC residents can use and pay a fee to

use it? Just like the pool. 3. The reason the pool has lost some of its luster is because of people joining beach clubs which seems to be more appealing for whatever reason. Maybe because it offers a diversity of activities. The community pool caters to little kids. High schoolers don’t have anything to do there besides swim. Maybe think about adding outdoor basketball courts or even a track in back of the pool? Whatever happens to St Paul’s most likely won’t happen soon. We have been in this town 17 years and haven’t seen any progress. I am sure it will still be standing and will continue to deteriorate. I would like to conclude with one thought. Think about the person driving through this town. First timers who see pristine houses and lawns and then see St. Paul’s. I don’t know, but I would have to second guess what this neighborhood is all about after looking at a deteriorating structure smack dab on Stewart avenue. Mary Pizzingrillo

BY RIKKI N. MASSAND New artistic contributions have been unveiled at the Garden City Library, bringing additional visual appeal to the space. After announcing the donation of two Gutenberg Bibles from longtime village residents longtime residents Gilbert and Lynn Pavia, unveiled in display cases on the ground level of the Garden City Public Library (GCPL) the newest artwork on the library’s walls was presented to the public on Sunday, September 16. The GCPL Board, the Friends of the Garden City Public Library and community members learned the history and theory behind the sculpture “Reach for Knowledge” by Angelo Bona now located at the back of the library, hanging just outside the door to library administration office. Library trustees and administration welcomed Tom Bona to speak about his father Angelo’s work in sculpture and the philanthropic efforts taking shape. Many institutions around Garden City including Adelphi University, Hofstra University, the Barnes Gallery at 2 Nassau Boulevard and local libraries supported Angelo Bona’s work in sculpture. The new donation and display at the Garden City Public Library (GCPL) is the first in what Tom Bona expects will be many efforts providing some sculpture art to public spaces at

Tom Bona, who donated his father's Reach for Knowledge sculpture to the library, Library Board Trustee Charles Murphy, Library Board Vice Chair Gloria Weinrich, Lynn Pavia, Library Board Chairman J. Randolph Colahan, Library Board Trustee Lola Nouryan, Friends of GCPL President Nancy Minett, Gil Pavia donor of the Gutenberg Bibles, and new Garden City Public Library Director Marianne Malagon. libraries, cultural centers and universities. “My goal is to give back to the institutions in New York and on Long Island that supported my father as a sculptor and that way other kids can learn and draw inspiration to be artists from it. It is important to inspire people -- this is our first contribution with a donation to the library, and the process took nearly

two years as it takes a while to organize. My father had much artwork and some pieces were of great social significance that perhaps not everybody would take to because of the social issues and getting into the heart of society. We will find homes for this collection and the art will make statements and have impacts on people, as we have some that are very inspirational,” Bona told the News.

Meet Eugenie, a home health aide (HHA) with Better Home Health Care for the past 10 years. She was recently awarded, “Aide of the Month,” recognizing her “above and beyond” nature of caring for her patients. Value, appreciation and recognition fosters a deeper sense of commitment and dedication. These traits are paramount when it comes to homecare. While HHAs are required to follow a plan of care, customized to each patients’ needs, they are also trained to cater to the emotions of their patient. They are encouraged to lead with heart and to be present with their patient. The goal is to build trust-worthy, mutually respectful relationships that continue to thrive. Over time HHAs have been known to become “a part of the family.” Start the conversation and learn more about HHAs. Email questions to cdeehan@betterhomecare.com, or call us at 516-318-6746.

The Reach for Knowledge sculpture featured at the library is made of fibers using limestone and a mix that acts like volcanic material, causing the limestone to chemically change. Tom Bona noted the expensive side of traditional sculpture art involving the use of either stone or bronze, but he said the piece at GCPL can last over hundreds of years. The original sculpture his father made was comprised of burlap and plaster. He wanted the donated artwork to last and to be solid enough for observers to touch it, and bronze was prohibitively expensive to pursue. A solution came up as the idea of donating Angelo Bona’s art evolved. “After 30 years the (original) materials started showing signs of stress so the initiative became finding a solution involving a long-lasting material. When I had gone to universities, the first things they asked us was what they had to do to maintain the sculpture over time. I did not know so I conducted research on finding new material to use. In the search I discovered Roman cement. In the Roman Empire they mixed the limestone that was used in their building processes for thousands of years with volcanic ash (which prevents cracks from spreading) and this became the greatest building material of all time.

At the Village Board of Trustees meeting on Thursday September 20, Garden City Superintendent of Public Works and Deputy Village Administrator Joseph DiFrancisco explained two connected agenda items: one modifying a NYSERDA (New York State Energy Research and Development Authority) agreement for the village on its qualifying for a $50,000 grant and the other a capital project expenditure of $257,072 awarding a low bid to vendor Spring City Electrical Manufacturing Co. of Pennsylvania for LED lighting. “I’ve requested that the Board accept the Spring City Electrical bid for replacement of street lighting in the business district of Franklin Avenue and 7th Street (also known as the T-zone) with energy efficient LED lighting. In 2017 the Village of Garden City was certified by the state as a Clean Energy Community and as part of that we received a $50,000 grant to be put towards an energy efficient municipal project of our choice. We chose to put the money towards the LED lighting project. I proposed a project at the village budget meetings earlier this year for 2018-2019 set to replace close to 600 of the current non-LED street lights with LED street lighting. The Board had asked me to divide the project up over the next three fiscal years instead of doing it all this year. We did, but that required us to go back to NYSERDA and alter the agreement so that we could still qualify for this grant even though the project is spread over three years,” he explained. The Board ratified the new agreement between the village and NYSERDA. At the same time it accepted the bid from Spring City Electrical Manufacturing Co. it rejected other bids received from Best LED Group, Magni Flood, Inc. and Sentry Electric, Inc. “due to incomplete bids,” as stated on the meeting agenda. The bid from Spring City Electrical approved last week was listed on the agenda as “the lowest and most responsible bidder.” The newest lighting replacement and the NYSERDA agreement approved by the Board continue Garden City’s efforts to upgrade its municipal lighting system with long-term savings in mind. When the village-wide LED project was first outlined, Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi described the investment into new lights as ‘purchasing a commodity.’

Electric vehicle charging debated

Trustee Mark Hyer considered strides in automotive technology and asked DiFrancisco if the energy efficiency grants would be available to cover municipality’s charging stations

for electric vehicles. In 2010, for example, Montclair in northern New Jersey was awarded a grant of $25,000 from Sustainable Jersey as it used the funding to install a series of four charging stations in its downtown, becoming the first municipality in New Jersey to do so. In 2017, under a new grant program called “Drive Green New Jersey” from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), headquartered in Trenton, the borough of Rutherford received a grant of $40,000 that it will use towards installing eight electric vehicle charging stations in four locations of the municipality. The tagline of the grant program is “It Pays to Plug In” and a total of $725,000 was made available through reimbursement grant money for government entities, nonprofits, corporations and local employers to encourage the use of electric vehicles. At the meeting last week DiFrancisco confirmed that Trustee Hyer’s idea for Garden City to pursue has potential under NYSERDA guidelines. To become a designated New York Clean Energy Community under NYSERDA a municipality must enact four of the ten High Impact Action Items outlined by NYSERDA. One of the ten choices is a “Clean Fleets” initiative which can either be for the installation of electric vehicle charging stations or for a village, town or other community to deploy alternative fuel vehicles. “NYSERDA is an organization that offers money towards charging stations. In order to meet the qualifications of a certified Clean Energy Community, we had to state the money up front that we’d be using the grant money for before we were awarded this grant. At the time we were pursuing the LED project throughout the village. I will still follow up, as I look into charging stations for two to three village parking lots currently on schedule to be paved,” DPW Superintendent DiFrancisco said. He added that the $50,000 for the village’s LED project was a set amount (a one-time grant for the Clean Energy Community designation) so the existing NYSERDA grant would not have been higher had the charging stations been the initial project the village applied for. Trustee Stephen Makrinos noted that the grant for charging stations could be a separate application to NYSERDA next year. On its website NYSERDA defines its Clean Fleets program as “an effort by local governments to invest in alternative fuel vehicles and infrastructure while increasing opportunities for constituents to access electric vehicle charging stations.” Trustee Robert Bolebruch initiatSee page 45

9 Sunglasses taken: On September 18th sunglasses were taken from a vehicle that was parked at a Meadow Street residence. Vehicle entered: On September 19th gift cards were reported stolen from a vehicle parked at a Yale Street residence. Police say a suspect was seen and is described as male, black, riding a bicycle, wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt and a backpack. Child locked in vehicle: On September 19th a Garden City Police officer responded to Garden City Plaza, where he was able to gain entry into a vehicle and rescue a three-yearold child who was accidentally locked inside.

Arrest made in senior scam: On September 20th an elderly male victim reported that on September 19, he received a phone call from a person claiming to be his nephew’s lawyer. The caller informed the victim his nephew was arrested in Suffolk County and required $7,000 bail in order to be released. As per instructions of the caller, the victim gave the money to a courier service sent to his residence. On September 20, the same

person contacted the victim and stated that an additional $9,000 was needed to clear all charges. He was instructed to give the money to a courier service that would be sent to his residence. The victim became suspicious and notified Garden City Police. Police personnel conducted surveillance and the courier was followed to a location in the Bronx where he handed the envelope with the supposed payment to a female subject. At that time, Garden City Detectives arrested the woman for taking part in the scam. The 21 year old woman was charged with grand larceny and attempted grand larceny. Police say that upon investigation, the courier service was determined to be a legitimate business. The investigation is ongoing. Truck driver arrested: On September 21st a truck/trailer combination was stopped on Cathedral Avenue at Fifth Street for multiple traffic violations. Upon investigation, the driver, a 31 year old Hempstead man, was arrested for allegedly driving with five license suspensions, no safety chains, unsecured machinery and open gasoline containers.

GARDEN CITY UPDATE - NEWS AND INFORMATION Mayor@gardencityny.net The Board of Trustees and staff continue to work on numerous projects, including street and parking lot paving projects, the Third Track project, the concept plan for the former St. Paul’s School building and other matters. We encourage you to attend Village Board of Trustees meetings. Our next meeting is Thursday, October 4, 2018 at 8:00 p.m. The Board of Trustees has also scheduled additional meetings for October 18, 2018 and November 1 and November 15, 2018.

St. Paul's Concept Plan Presentation

As the Board of Trustees continues its evaluation of the concept plan for creating a community, recreation and cultural facility out of the former St. Paul’s building, Trustees heard from a potential consultant, Sports Facilities Management/Advisory, during the September 20, 2018 Board meeting. Dev Pathik, founder and CEO, provided an overview of what his company could offer the Village as it considers a unique dual-use facility at St. Paul’s. According to Mr. Pathik, Sports Facilities Management/Advisory’s mission is to improve a community’s health and economic vitality. The company conducts sports tourism feasibility studies, recreation center feasibility and business plans, offers financing options for public sports complexes and manages many sports tourism and community recreation centers. From water parks and ball fields to adventure centers, Sports Facilities Management/Advisory offers planning, design, funding and management services. Visit https:// sportadvisory.com to learn more.

Ambulance Service

At its September 20, 2018 Board meeting, Trustees unanimously adopted a two-year agreement with NYU Winthrop to provide ambulance service within the Village, subject to official start date, housing placement and completion of the contract. The contract will provide at least two ambulances, each of which will have one EMT and one paramedic aboard. Currently, the Village has an agreement with Nassau County to provide ambulance service, with one ambulance stationed at the Garden City Water Works building. The current provision of services from the County requires that a Village police officer leave the scene and travel with the ambulance to the hospital, and the Village loses the services of the officer for an extended period of time. From an operational perspective this loss of a patrol officer is no longer economical and lessens police coverage on our streets. Mayor Brian Daughney publicly thanked Trustee Mark Hyer and mem-

bers of the Fire Department for their many hours of research and discussions with various parties and potential providers. Trustee Hyer thanked Police Commissioner Kenneth Jackson and Inspector Michael Doyle for their assistance as well. The switch to a private service provider was one of the items on the Board’s priority list adopted in 2017. During deliberations, there were public presentations from several providers, including Northwell Health and NYU Winthrop.

Community Park Scoreboards

The capital project to install scoreboards at Community Park is moving forward. One scoreboard is dedicated to the large 90-foot baseball field. The second scoreboard, actually comprised of two scoreboards back-to-back, will be utilized for the multi-purpose field and the smaller Field 3 baseball field. Trustees awarded the bid to Palace Electrical Contractors, Inc., the low bidder, at a cost of $194,000. According to Kevin Ocker, a formal final contract now has to be executed and the contractor given notice to proceed, which could take two to three weeks. The contractor will then order materials. “We hope to have the foundations in the ground by the end of November with scoreboard installation to follow sometime in December,” Mr. Ocker said.

Police Officer Oaths

Lieutenant William Petito and Sergeant Paul Edwards, as well as new Officer Samantha Wixted, took their oaths of office during a brief ceremony at the Board of Trustees September 20 meeting. Lt. Petito first joined the Garden City Police Department in July 1992 after a brief stint in the financial world. Less than 10 years later, he earned a position in the Department’s Tactical/Traffic Enforcement Division. Along with many other honors in 2001, Lt. Petito was awarded the Excellent Service medal for apprehending a known gang member who was charged with attempted murder of a police officer. Four years later he was promoted to sergeant. Raised in Massapequa, Lt. Petito is the son of a highly decorated New York City Transit Police Officer from Williamsburg, Brooklyn. He received an associate degree in science, majoring in business administration, from the State University of New York at Farmingdale and a Bachelor of Arts degree, while majoring in economics, at the State University of New York at Geneseo. Sgt. Edwards is a veteran officer, having joined the Department in September 1989. During his 29 years in

the Village, he has received numerous commendations and awards. During his tenure, Sgt. Edwards has served as a patrol officer, tactical officer, field-training officer, truck inspection officer and now sergeant. He attended both St. Lawrence University and Hofstra University. He and his wife, Lori, have a five-year-old son, John. Officer Samantha Wixted, after graduating Queens College, worked as a cadet with the New York City Police Department for two years. She was promoted to Police Officer in October 2016. Her first assignment was patrol; she spent the duration of her career in the 14th precinct where she often handled grand larcenies, assaults and commercial burglaries. Officer Wixted grew up in Oakdale but now resides in Ronkonkoma with her husband, Thomas, a New York City Police Officer for five years who is now a Nassau County Police Officer in the 4th Precinct. Her father-in-law also served the Village of Sands Point as a Police Officer for 30 years and her uncle is a lieutenant in the New York City Police Department.

Parking in business district

In light of resident concerns about parking in Field 7N, particularly commercial vehicles that apparently park overnight in the lot, Trustees are considering modifying the Village Code and Policies to move oversight and regulation of parking lots from the Traffic Commission to the Village Board of Trustees. Trustees are also considering a proposal to create a “Reserved Parking Zone” on a trial basis in Field 7N to separate residential from commercial parking, including imposition of an annual fee for permitted segregated residential parking on the basis of one permit per apartment for apartment buildings directly contiguous to Field 7N which apartment buildings do not otherwise have parking facilities. Further, the Board is considering a modification to existing Village Code to also prohibit commercial vehicles from overnight parking in Villageowned parking lots. “We have several parking lots bordered by apartment buildings. We provide free parking to apartment dwellers. It impacts our commercial usage,” Mayor Brian Daughney said during a Board discussion at the September 20, 2018 meeting. “Do we create a separate parking district for each lot? The property owners’ associations have been discussing it and we are still awaiting input from our parking experts and the Planning Commission. We thought it was time to at least do a pilot project in Field 7N.” No decision has been made as

Village staff is going to further investigate the idea and make recommendations. Trustees are also still seeking input, particularly from the Police Department and the apartment building owners. Police Commissioner Ken Jackson did say a designated parking area for apartment dwellers - like what’s offered in Parking Fields 5 and 6 and Fair Court - would make enforcement easier. Trustee Robert Bolebruch, who has studied this issue for numerous years during his time on the Traffic Commission, said a reserved/designated parking area for apartment dwellers would open up spots for shoppers. “This makes total sense, particularly in Field 7N,” he said. Trustee John Delany, however, took issue with the concept. He is concerned with taking parking lot oversight and regulation away from the Traffic Commission. “I don’t think this Board has time to be involved in parking lot operations,” he said. Trustee Louis Minuto is also in favor of the pilot program. “There is a substantial shift in the center of town towards commuter parking and they are definitely taking advantage of that lot,” he said. “This is more about operations. This is not a new idea. Many towns and villages have programs like this.” Deputy Mayor Theresa Trouvé agreed. “Let’s put it in place and study it. When we see it in action we could come up with a few better solutions.”

Solar compacting units installed

BigBelly, the company that manufactures “smart” garbage receptacles that work off of solar power, installed the solar compacting units in the business district this week. The top of the pail is a solar panel. The pail itself has a compactor built into it. When the garbage reaches a certain height there’s a laser inside. When garbage breaks the plane of the laser it automatically engages the compactors to crush the garbage to handle more capacity in the pail. While a standard pail may hold 50 gallons, with the compactor a pail can hold up to 150 gallons. In addition, the pails are built with cell phones inside them to send a text or email to Village personnel notifying them when the pails are full and need to be emptied. These pails are being strategically placed throughout the Village, including the north and south sides of Seventh Street near food establishments, the St. Paul’s complex, one in the parking lot near Grimaldi’s and V-Spa, one along New Hyde Park Road in the West and one at the Garden City Pool, which will then be relocated once the season ends.

Golf pro to play in senior LPGA championship BY GARY SIMEONE Jean Bartholomew, a resident of Garden City and Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, has been on the pro golf tour since 1996. Now the local sports legend will take her talents to the French Lick Resort in Indiana in October for the second annual senior LPGA major golf championship. The event will take place from October 15-17th. “I should do well depending on how much practice time I’m able to get in,” said Bartholomew, who has become a golf teaching pro in recent years. “It’s a beautiful course and I love playing on it after having competed in the first major there last year.” Bartholomew has been into sports all of her life and was a multi-sport athlete at Garden City High School, graduating from the school in 1985. She played golf, field hockey and basketball and set all time records in many of the sports. Just recently she was inducted into the Nassau County High School Sports Hall of Fame and received Newsday’s honorary Elite 33 Long Island’s Athletes of all time award. “My dad, Gil McNally, who passed away earlier this year, was the one who really got me into golf at an early age. I credit him with a lot of my athletic success.”

Jean Bartholomew After graduating High School, Bartholomew played golf at Duke university, where she was the runner-up of the 1988 NCAA championship. That Same year, she was also elected as the

New York State amateur champion. She played on the women’s tour From 1996 to 2008, playing tour events across the country and in Europe and Japan. She has racked up quite a few honors over the years including a career best finish with 2nd place at the Betsy King Open in 2000, and recorded her first LPGA hole-in-one in an event in 2001. “I think my biggest strength over the years has been my ball striking ability, and my ability to hit the ball far off the tee,” said Bartholomew. In 2009, she began teaching golf full time to amateurs and pros alike. She teaches during the summer at the Engineers Country Club in Roslyn Harbor and at the PGA National Resort in Florida during the winter. “I gradually went into teaching after retiring from the tour. It’s something that I feel I have a knack for. It’s fun and I enjoy helping people work on their games.” Bartholomew still enjoys playing competitively, competing in events such as the Legends Tour and the Teaching and Club Professional championships, where she is a four time winner. “Even though I don’t practice as much as I used to, as an athlete you always want to be out there competing.”

THE VIEW FROM HERE

Spanish sojourn BY BOB MORGAN, JR. I am writing this from the south of Spain, also known as the Costa del Sol, where I’m visiting for a few days with a number of friends. We’re at a nice small beachfront town called La Cala de Mijas, about 30 miles west of Malaga. I expected to be writing in some depth about the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, but this column is written early in the week and the whole messy situation still seems to change every few hours. I’m certainly waiting for the live testimony of witnesses on Thursday and to see if there will be any substantial corroboration of the sensational charges against Mr. Kavanaugh. Absent such corroboration, and given the nominee’s distinguished background, I still think the best bet is that at least one of swing Republican senators Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski will vote for Mr. Kavanaugh and the nomination will be confirmed. So In the meantime, I will talk about this very pleasant trip. The pace here in southern Spain is quite relaxed and frankly seems very removed from political turmoil in Washington or anywhere else. (For what it’s worth, the Kavanaugh story has received limited coverage in the Spanish press.). One contributing factor to the slower pace is that we are on the Western edge of this time zone, so the sun doesn’t rise until around 8 am in late September, not exactly an incentive for rise and shine early morning activities. In contrast, the sun stays out until after 8 pm and the early evenings along the Mediterranean are almost idyllic with the warm sun, temperatures in the 80’s and low humidity, and gentle breezes swaying the palms. One fills up with tapas (essentially various appetizers like sardines, cheese and Spanish ham) during the day and dinner is served late here, so there is no particular reason to leave the beach until the sun goes down. Local people are generally relaxed and affable. While I’m using this trip as an opportunity to brush up on my Spanish (for example, I’ve been reading on the beach, aided by a dictionary, a short novel by Gabriel Garcia Marquez), in truth foreign

language skill is less necessary here than in many other parts of Europe. There has been a huge influx in recent years of English speakers in the area, in large part retirees from England and Ireland, although there are some golfing vacationers in the group as well. Signs and service are frequently in English and many Catholic masses in the local churches are also in English. The retirees and other visitors from Northern Europe are attracted to the pervasive warm sun in southern Spain (a huge contrast to the fickle weather in the home countries), as well as the relatively low cost of living, and not just the very drinkable $3 bottles of wine sold in supermarkets. While there are relatively ritzy communities like Marbella along the Costa del Sol where yachts are docked, it is is perfectly possible to rent a decent apartment here in La Cala de Mijas with a nice view for around $800 a month, which fits in nicely with the circumstances of many pensioners. Consistent with the British influx, there are a number of English style restaurants and pubs in town. This is not to say that things are so languid along the Costa del Sol that there is nothing much to do. As mentioned, the rich and famous hang out in Marbella, and there are many upscale shops and restaurants there, as well as a very pleasant catamaran ferry to the nearby town of Puerto Banus, also an upscale enclave. Malaga, where I flew in, is a bustling city of over 500,000 people, with a historic cathedral and a Picasso Museum, which includes hundreds of works donated by the late painter’s family. (He was born in Malaga.). Particularly impressive are some paintings from very late in Picasso’s life, when he was near 90 years old. There are also some great tapas bars in the alleys of the older part of the city. Of course, further afield for visitors are excursion, by day trip or overnight, to such places as Seville, Grenada and Gibraltar. In any event, it is very pleasant to spend a few days on the Costa del Sol at a place like La Cala de Mijas, even as the political and cultural wars are being waged across the ocean.

This building was completed in 1874 and is pictured here around 1880. It is located on the SE corner of Hilton Ave. and Seventh St. and still exists today. However, a third floor has been added and large white columns now exist by the front entrance. A wide variety of businesses have occupied this building over the years and in this photo the man in the center doorway with the white coat was probably a butcher. The most memorable business there perhaps was Hubbell Klapper Realty on the corner. A second building just to the south of this building was constructed in 1875 and also had stores. These two buildings on Hilton Ave. are two of the oldest structures left in the village today. They are also where Garden Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business district began.

THIS WEEK AT ROTARY Hospice may be arranged by contacting Ms. Polit at 631-465-6457

Adelphi sorority raises funds for St. Jude's Children's Hospital

From left to right: Mary Ellen Polit, Good Shepherd Hospice, Mercy Medical Center; Joanne Meyer-Jendras, Mineola-Garden City Rotary Club president; and Brittany Costa, philanthropy chairperson, Delta Delta Delta Sorority, Adelphi University.

Hospice services come to Mercy Medical Center

Last Monday, September 24th, the first speaker informed about the new end of life hospice program soon to debut at Mercy Medical Center; the second speaker told of dedicated efforts to raise funds for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital towards putting an end to childhood cancer. Club members first welcomed Mary Ellen Polit, RN, MS, executive vice president and chief administrative officer of Catholic Home Care and Hospice services on Long Island. Ms. Polit

informed Rotarians about the many services to be offered to families at the new 12-bed Good Shepherd Hospice that is slated to open at Mercy Medical Center in Rockville Center in early December. The goal, Ms. Polit said, is to create an individualized plan in partnership with the patient, allowing him/ her to live each day as fully as possible. She stressed that the Good Shepherd Hospice at Mercy Medical Center will provide personalized care, for patients whose medical needs cannot met at home, in a warm family-oriented setting. Tours of the new Good Shepherd

Guest speaker Brittany Costa, lifetime Garden City resident and a junior graphic design major at Adelphi University, serves as philanthropy chairperson for Delta Delta Delta Sorority. Brittany is in charge of TriDelta’s awareness and fundraising efforts for childhood cancer research. She, along with her sorority sisters has partnered with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. She reported on the St. Jude "Walk/Run" in NY City ion September 22nd in which her sorority sisters, family and friends participated, raising thousands of dollars for St. Jude. Brittany told Rotarians that while she has always had the passion to work toward putting an end to childhood cancer, it was her long-time close friend Bobby Menges that helped her passion to blossom. Bobby, who was Rotary’s Community Service recipient in 2017, had passed away shortly after at age 19. He had suffered from neuroblastoma since the age of five and had devoted much of his life to community service and fundraising in his endless efforts to help pediatric cancer patients. Brittany, who has been named the country’s number one college fundraiser, carries on where Bobby left off, and as she said, “His Job Is Not Done Yet,” the theme for his family’s new foundation. Club members commented on

Brittany’s dedication, enthusiasm and obvious passion for the cause. She invited all to turn out for her sorority’s “Tri-Dent,e” the big fall fundraiser to be held on October 20th at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Central Nassau, 223 Stewart Ave. For a $5 fee, attendees will have unlimited past, salad, bread, dessert, music, raffles and family fun. 100% of the proceeds will go to St. Jude. For attendance information, email brittanycosta@mail.adelphi.edu.

Beginners interested in learning the basics of drawing techniques from the right side of the brain, will soon advance to painting portraits, still life’s and landscapes in pastel or pencil. Those already engaged in other painting mediums will be exposed to further developing their painting and drawing skills to another level of expertise. Observation of good composition, color techniques, and determining values will be learned. Arleen is a true believer that art is the only entity in life that improves with age. If you are reading this paragraph you most likely have a hidden talent or desire that needs to be explored. Her classes are fun, entertaining and

productive. Painting is very therapeutic and the camaraderie that develops while learning lasts forever. So if you have ever had a desire to experiment with a pencil, pastel or paint brush, now is the time to take advantage of this rare opportunity to do so. Anyone who takes this class is eligible to participate in Arleen’s annual Rembrats Art Exhibit in January at the Garden City Library.

All Hallows’ Eve: Journey to the Cathedral Crypt Perhaps many have forgotten that Halloween (shortened from All Hallows’ Eve) is a centuries-old holy festival with roots among Celtic Christians in Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Brittany. The Celts believed that the Eve of All Saints’ Day was a time when the bridge connecting the world of the living to the world of the dead became firmer, allowing spirits to cross over. This Halloween, the Cathedral of the Incarnation is inviting brave souls to walk the bridge between the living and the dead as they take guests on a journey to the Cathedral Crypt to honor the souls of Garden City’s founders, Alexander and Cornelia Stewart, who were buried there over a century ago. The tour will begin inside the cathedral sanctuary, where ominous organ music will welcome guests to a darkened cathedral. Tour guides

with burning lanterns will lead participants over the grounds to hear the story of Stewart’s death and the grave robbers who held his body for ransom. Once inside the candlelit crypt, music and readings will close the one hour program. Afterwards, all guests will be invited to enjoy fall refreshments and “trick-or-treating” at See House, the Victorian mansion that once housed the bishops of Long Island. The program will begin at 7PM inside the Cathedral of the Incarnation, 36 Cathedral Avenue in Garden City, on Tuesday, October 31st. The evening is free of charge and open to children and adults. Participants are welcome to wear their Halloween costumes! To reserve a free spot, contact the cathedral office at cathedral@incarnationgc.org or 516-746-2955.

This little gem of a museum has an emphasis on early Long Island geology, and the history and life style of the historic Native American tribes who inhabited the Island. The ladies were treated to a wonderfully informative and fascinating lecture by one of the Museum employees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Johnâ&#x20AC;? focused on the Native Americans and their lives, illustrating his talk with authentic tools of the era, such as stone axes, arrow heads and spears and fishing nets used for hunting. Clothing making and the produc-

tion of bowls, baskets and spear tips was also discussed. Following the tour, a brief business meeting, chaired by Chapter Regent Leslie Dimmling, was held. Several of the ladies took a walk on a dirt hiking path behind the museum, to a scenic overlook from which one has a lovely view of Long Island Sound. Lunch for the group took place at the Barefoot Peddler restaurant in Glen Cove, a pleasant conclusion to an educational outing. If you are a descendant of an American Revolutionary War soldier and have an interest in membership in the NSDAR, please contact Chapter Registrar Abagael Fagan at ajmcfagan@gmail.com .

Statue of Our Lady of Fatima handcarved in Italy in 1967. A group of Garden City Catholics invites all members of our community to gather together to participate in the nationwide Rosary Coast to Coast. The event will be held on Sunday, October 7th at the Garden City Gazebo on Stewart Avenue. They will start convening at 3:30PM and begin the Rosary promptly at 4:00PM. In the event of rain, they will gather at St. Anne’s Church. The address is 35 Dartmouth Street, Garden City. The event is in response to an invita-

tion made for all Catholics worldwide to spiritually unite in prayer for peace in our respective nations. “The time is now to call upon God, through the powerful intercession of Our Lady of the Rosary, to heal our country and return it to holiness. Americans across the country are invited to pray Rosary Coast to Coast wherever they can gather: along the US coasts and borders; in front of state capitols; in other public areas; in parish Churches; or as families while viewing the livestream of the National Rosary Rally. Rosary Coast to Coast will take place at 4PM Eastern, 3PM Central, 2PM Mountain, 1PM Pacific.” The group will provide rosaries and instructions to pray the Rosary. They invite families, including children, to participate in this peaceful, prayerful event. The 7-foot Statue of Our Lady of Fatima will be present. She was handcarved in Italy in 1967 for the golden anniversary. For more information concerning the gathering at the Garden City gazebo, please contact Marta Waters at 516 4489009 or email miwaters88@gmail.com.

IN MEMORIAM

Therese Marie Maguire

January 9, 1929-September 17, 2018 Therese Marie Maguire, of Hilton Head Island, SC, formerly of Garden City & Ridgewood, Queens, NY passed away at the age of 89. Therese was an inspirational life force for her family. She was feisty, strongwilled and fiercely independent for almost all of her 89 years. For 49 of those years, she worked at Adelphi University as head of Telephone Services, part of the Department of Information Technology. In that role, she hired many students to work for her, and spending time with young people kept her young at heart, officially retiring from Adelphi just two years ago. She loved to shop and was known by all as a fashionista, often in styles designed by her daughter Regina. Her flaming red hair made her stand out in a crowd. She led aerobics sessions for many years at the Garden City Pool, and enjoyed going out to dinner with her Long Island “posse” of girlfriends. She loved a

good party, and her beautiful smile was infectious. She adored her grandchildren and her two great-granddaughters and they adored her. She was so proud of her two daughters and her son, who she taught to be resilient, independent and impactful. Her family was everything to her. Therese was predeceased by her beloved husband of 61 years, Thomas, her parents William and Elizabeth Salzmann, brother William Salzmann and sister Catherine Almstadt, and niece Donna Salzmann. Survived by her loving children and their families, daughters and sons-inlaw Deborah & Ed Stendardi, Regina & Michael Kirshbaum, son and daughter-inlaw Thomas and Jeanne Maguire, grandchildren and their spouses, Bridget & Ian Williams, Matt & Lee Stendardi, Kathleen Maguire, Kerry Maguire, great-granddaughters, Alexandra Iris and Aubrey Edith Williams, dear niece and her husband Janice & Phil DiBlasi and their daughters Donna McCullough (Patrick), Nicole DiBlasi, Jillian Jurdak (Adam) and great-grandnephew Connor McCullough. The family wishes to thank the very kind staff of The Bayshore on Hilton Head Island for their loving care of Therese during the time she lived there, and the hospice nursing staff of Compassus and Hilton Head Hospital who cared for her in her final days. Therese will be interred with her husband at Holy Rood Cemetery in Westbury. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Saturday, November 3, 10:30 a.m. in the Interfaith Center at Adelphi University, One South Avenue, Garden City. A celebration of her inspiring life was also held at The Bayshore on Thursday, September 20 at 3 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that contributions in Therese’s memory be sent to the Thomas H. and Therese M. Maguire Scholarship, c/o Rochester Institute of Technology, P.O. Box 92765, Rochester, NY, 14692 or at www.rit.edu/makeagift.

IN MEMORIAM Mary Connelly

Mrs. Connelly was born in Brooklyn, New York, on October 12, 1923, the second child and only daughter of the late William and Rita Dillmeier. She was predeceased by her brother, William Dillmeier. Mrs. Connelly died at home in Williamsburg, VA, on Sunday, September 23, surrounded by her children. She was married for more than 60 years to the late James Paul Connelly. She is survived by her children: Mary Carroll; Kathleen; Deidre; James Jr.; Megan Fletcher; Melissa Connelly Bell; John; Cynthia Canary, and their spouses. She is also survived by her grandchildren Mike, Maggie, Mimi, Nick, Donald, James, Kate, Emily, Thomas, Tim, Mary Catherine, James, Ava, and

William. Raised in Garden City, Mrs. Connelly graduated from Garden City High School Class of 1940; Trinity College, Washington, D. C., Class of 1944; and earned a Master’s Degree in Education from Fordham University. A longtime resident of Williamsburg and parishioner of St. Bede Church, she was active for many years with Meals on Wheels and F.I.S.H. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated at St. Bede Catholic Church in Williamsburg on Friday, October 12, at 11:00. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to F.I.S.H. in Williamsburg, or the hospice or charity of your choice. Arrangements by Nelsen Funeral Home.

IN MEMORIAM George F. Ollendike Jr.

George F. Ollendike Jr., 75, of Garden City, NY passed away on Saturday, September 15, 2018 surrounded by his loved ones. George was born on July 31, 1943 in San Luis Obispo, CA on a military base where his father George Sr. served our country in World War II. After graduating University of Scranton, he embarked in a career that spanned over 50 years in the Property & Casualty Insurance business. George is survived by his wife, Rose, of almost 50 years, his sons Chris and David and daughter Melissa. As well as their spouses Deirdre, Kristen and Bo. George celebrated the lives of his six grandchildren Grace, Conor, Kieran, Kate, Jack and Matthew. In lieu of flowers, donation suggestions in George’s name can be made

Back to School at German American School

The German American School of Garden City unofficially celebrated “Back to School” on Saturday, September 15th, by participating in the Annual Steuben Day Parade along 5th Avenue in their own float! Three days before the official start of the afterschool program that meets on Tuesdays, students from across Long Island congregated in Garden City on Saturday morning and took a coach to the parade. Fifteen students had the honor to be

on the float while the remainder and their parents walked in front of the float waving to bystanders that flanked 5th Avenue. On Tuesday, September 18th, the after-school German students, who meet once a week at the Waldorf School, greeted one another and their teachers with smiles and hugs after the summer break. During the year, the youngest ones in kindergarten through 2nd will work on language while coloring, creat-

ing arts and crafts, singing and writing. The elementary level students will read, write, sing and play fun and challenging classroom games. The middle school and high school-aged students study geography, social studies, poetry and prepare for Regents exams and FLAX. Although the students meet only once a week, the school year is filled with funfilled events that help foster the love of learning a language and reinforce the German language as they acquire new vocabulary. Most students start with no background in the German language, but make amazing strides as they continue year after year. In addition to last

Saturday’s Steuben Day Parade, some of the upcoming in-classroom festivities include: Halloween, St. Martin’s Day (November), and St. Nikolaus Day (December). Registration is still open and no German background is necessary for those children who want an enriching way to spend one afternoon a week at the German American School which has been successfully teaching German in Garden City and for 18 years and in NYC for 123 years. Students can choose Tuesdays or Fridays in convenient locations in Garden City or Franklin Square.

It is traditional for children to make their own little lanterns in class

Garden City High School Class of 2019 member John Blume was honored with an award for his volunteerism at this year’s Boys State. A talented trumpet player, John played “Taps” every evening while serving at one of Garden City’s representatives to the American Legion’s Boys State at Morrisville State College. The program took place from June 24th to June 29th and welcomed selected representatives from school districts across NYS. Boys State is supported by local American Legion posts and is designed to provide students with an immersion experience in governmental practice. Other representatives from Garden City High School selected to the 2018 Boys State program were Aidan Pfaff, Trent Biscone, and Joseph DiLemme (alternate). Each year, interested students have the opportunity to submit a resume and be interviewed by local American Legion

representatives in order to be considered for selection to the program. John was one of a handful of boys that received an award out of the 880 young men from across NYS attending the program this summer. “I joined the band while I was at Boys State,” explained John. “We only practiced for an hour each day, and performed for everyone each day, including the day of our first rehearsal. You had to be able to learn the music FAST - We had an unusually skilled group of players. Staying motivated throughout the tight schedule was probably the most challenging part of Boys State. The mornings were early and the schedule was packed until late at night. What surprised me the most was probably the NY State Police demonstration: they grappled up and down buildings and even brought in the K9 unit.”

Boys State Award for Garden City High School senior

Friday, September 28, 2018

GCHS students receive LI Scholar Artist Merit Awards

Pictured here are (left to right) Dr. Nina Prasso, district coordinator of Music & The Arts, Jason Karp, high school photography teacher, seniors Amanda Melkonian (Media Arts) and Alexandra Stefanik (Visual Arts), and Advanced Placement art teacher Shawn Uttendorfer.

“Baby Owl” by GCHS senior Alexandra Stefanik was created using black ballpoint pen. Congratulations to Garden City High School seniors Amanda Melkonian and Alexandra Stefanik for being named as Award of Merit recipients in this year’s Long Island Scholar Artist program. Included here are a few samples of each student’s artwork. In a recent interview, both

artists expressed that the arts will figure prominently in their upcoming college choices and possibly in their college careers. Sponsored by the Long Island Arts Alliance, the Scholar Artist program annually recognizes students who excel academically and in the areas of

Alexandra Stefanik: “Mask Illustration,” ink, white charcoal, and brown/black paper.

either music, visual arts, dance, theater, or media arts. Each art student entering this year’s competition was required to submit 10 works of art, two letters of recommendation, a high school transcript, and a statement about their work in order to be considered for selection to the LI Scholar Artist program. Amanda Melkonian, who was selected as an Award of Merit winner in the category of Media Arts, specializes in photography/videography – she especially focuses her lens on sunsets and seascapes during trips to the east end of LI. “I love sunsets and the reflection of colors in the water,” Amanda explained. “I like to incorporate people in my work as well.” Selected as an Award of Merit win-

Amanda Melkonian enjoys capturing sunsets and reflections in the water. This piece is entitled “Golden Bay,” and was taken during one of her trips to eastern LI.

ner in Visual Arts, Alexandra Stefanik utilizes different types of art media in her work: “I really enjoy illustration, such as magazine covers,” the young artist recently shared. From ballpoint pen to acrylics, Alexandra experiments with many different types of art media and processes to channel her creativity. Amanda and Alexandra, their parents, teachers, and high school administrators and superintendent were invited to a media kick-off event at the Tilles Center, LIU-Post on September 12th. They will be featured in an upcoming issue of Newsday, and will be honored along with their guests at a Gala Reception at the Tilles Center, LIU-C.W. Post in the spring of 2019.

Amanda Melkonian often includes her brother in her photography/videography. Here, she captures her brother underwater in “Shark Bait.”

From page 3 Rome the buildings in Italy were built using this material. This Roman cement sculpture is cost effective, its maintenance is fine and if it fell off from the wall the piece should not even break,” Bona explained. Angelo Bona’s children (including Tom) grew up in Garden City South but attended St. Joseph’s School on Franklin Avenue in their elementary grades. Tom recalled times he spent in the village as a child and adolescent before graduating from St. Joseph’s and attending H. Frank Carey High School. For years Angelo Bona’s painting business was located inside the village as he worked from an office on Tulip Avenue. Tom Bona retired from his career as a private plane pilot for 45 years, and he resides in Jupiter, Florida. In his speech at the library on September 16, he mentioned the great efforts of longtime Garden City resident and new transplant to Florida -- Suzie Alvey, a renowned local artist with her work on display at GCPL and the Barnes Gallery Alvey served as Garden City’s village historian and she contributed much to the Garden City Historical Society over the years, as well as articles and archive materials published consistently in The Garden City News. Bona said he plans to catch up with Suzie and Robert Alvey, who relocated to Ft. Lauderdale at the beginning of September. He expects that their conversations can help his family donate Angelo Bona’s sculpture art to local schools and libraries around central Nassau County. At the unveiling recep-

tion at GCPL on September 16, Bona drew applause from attendees as he read a prepared message from Suzie Alvey: “I am thankful to Kate Norwick for connecting me with Tom Bona (me), son of Angelo Bona who was a member of the Art League of Nassau County as I have been. Even though Angelo was a ALNC member like me I never had the pleasure of meeting him, however I was familiar with his prize winning sculpture and I am so happy to arrange for this great sculpture to be presented to our Garden City Public Library. Our library continues to be the place we go for culture in Garden City, whether it is for displays of painting, our local history in the gallery, in the windows of the GCPL Stewart room. I would especially like to thank Tom Bona for preserving his father’s artwork and legacy for all of Garden City to enjoy -- I look forward to seeing the sculpture again the next time I am in Garden City,” Suzie Alvey wrote.

Books & Art contribute to Community

At the September 16 event, Library Board Vice Chair Gloria Weinrich spoke about the efforts to provide more artwork for library patrons to come in and view. “We thank everybody who has helped us, near and far, and we hope that you all will continue to see artwork on display in the Garden City Public Library,” she said, eliciting a loud applause from attendees. Bona thanked the GCPL Board, Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi and Deputy Village Administrator/

Garden City Update From page 10

The Village also purchased 20 new, larger capacity trash receptacles for the business district. Eleven will be located inside Parking Field 7S while an additional three or four will be located on Seventh Street to supplement the solar pails.

Social Networking Investigations Conference

Upon comprehensive review by the Secret Service, Detective Kevin Madden was approved for social networking investigations training. It is not an annual training event. The officer will receive hands-on training on complex online social media investigations, investigative tools, installing, reconfiguring and understanding various social media software platforms, conducting email investigations, basic networking, legal issues, digital evidence recognition/retrieval, computer search and seizures and preparing search warrants. The conference is

in Alabama. There is no cost to the Village for Detective Madden to attend. Detective Madden, n 18-year veteran of the Police Department, serving the last 12 as a detective, attended similar conferences in the past, including the National Cyber Crime Conference earlier this year in Massachusetts where he underwent three days of extensive training to combat challenges posed by digital evidence and technology in criminal investigations in areas such as social media applications, device/ computer forensics, child exploitation, video evidence, cyber terrorism, cyber bullying/extortion, virtual currency, smart phones and search warrants.

Board of Trustees meeting

The next scheduled Board of Trustees meeting is Thursday, October 4, 2018 at 8:00 p.m. in the Village Hall Board Room. All residents are encouraged to attend. The Board of Trustees has also scheduled additional meetings for October 18, 2018 and November 1 and November 15, 2018.

Superintendent of Public Works Joseph DiFrancisco for their support and encouragement, as well as the GCPL administration senior typist clerk, Joanne Kastelek, who was instrumental in communications and organizing the September 16 welcoming event. “The library is a perfect setting as the goal remains bringing more people into GCPL and the subject matter of this piece, Reach for Knowledge fits -what better place for it? Unlike a school where children must go and are made to go, families come in here willingly and that willingness and interest to learn here at the library is important. I thought of the ways some libraries can use their spaces as a platform for local artists to invite and bring people in. That is a great thing to continue for the community,” Bona said. His speech in front of the GCPL trustees and community members alluded to the efforts to redesign some interior portions of the library. From sculpture to photographs and plaques, visuals on display inside the library are one starting point many in attendance took time to appreciate on the afternoon of September 16. Bona says presenting great artwork to view can be an asset and a bonafide community builder. “I agree with the premise of bringing in more art into the library because community libraries are trying to survive in the environment with technology and internet resources. If you can present Garden City and the public overall with libraries that are venues to come to that isn’t found in other places, that is a great way to bring more people

to the library. Art is one way of doing it and if people are interested in visiting art galleries and museums, why not in your own community? The spreads can be from artists in the community and this would naturally bring people into the library. They can naturally stay here and much like bookstores putting some chairs around, people get books and sit down and they start reading as they become more comfortable in the library. It provides a natural process for individuals to realize the value of a book,” Bona explained. He says a great advantage to readers of books is that the information is spread out, presented over a period of time and books allow you to reference prior chapters easily, while the information sequencing through the internet becomes “hit and run.” Library Board Chairman J. Randolph Colahan thanked Bona and the attendees of the event September 16, including GCPL staff members Joe Agolia and Children’s Librarian Barbara Grace as well as GCPL’s consultant George Trepp, who previously headed the Long Beach Public Library and is assisting the GCPL Board with several initiatives including the building’s security strategy. Colahan said the presentation of the Gutenberg Bibles and Angelo Bona’s sculpture compliment the vast resources available at GCPL. He added that the library offers more than a mixture of books and digital materials: “this place is not technically called the Garden City community center, but we do consider it the community center.”

ed the next question for DiFrancisco to elaborate on; whether Garden City would charge people with electric vehicles for the use of its charging stations if and when they are installed in a village lot. “I do not think the village should consider setting up charging stations so that people could come in and charge up their cars -- in my opinion. I mean we do not set up gas stations for people to come over and get free gas. If someone out there decides when they go to purchase a car they will get an $80,000 Tesla, they would make arrangements to have their charging station at their house. If in the event the village would be considering going to electric vehicles for its municipal vehicle fleet that is one thing, but in my opinion setting up these charging stations so people can come have their cars charged up is not something I would support,” Trustee Bolebruch said.

DiFrancisco replied that there can be a fee in place for people to charge a car on a village system or station, and in turn “that can also become a new revenue stream for the village,” he said. Trustee Bolebruch replied “the village could also purchase or set up a gas station, and then we could pump gas for people,” Trustee Hyer explained the goal of promoting and valuing energy efficiency at the local level. The two trustees appeared to have opposing views on the subject of Garden City setting up municipally owned and operated charging stations for the public, and Mayor Brian Daughney said as the idea of charging stations progresses forward in Garden City, any outline and strategies for implementation, “the why and how it would be done,” would be discussed among the Board of Trustees and village administration at the conceptual stage before plans or funding takes shape.

District guidance director search From page 1 versations that will lead to the new hire, were discussed at the board’s September meeting. Dr. Sinha noted the hire of Diane Johnson as the district’s interim director of guidance for the school year 2018-2019, approved by the board seven days prior at its September 5 meeting. Sinha then asked Garden City’s Assistant Superintendent for Personnel Dr. Maureen Appiarius for the overview of the process ahead to find a long-term, “permanent” director to replace former the director, Gina Christel and follow Johnson starting with the 2019-2020 school year. Dr. Appiarius began the search process presentation on September 12 by explaining that the director of guidance in the district and in particular their role guiding Garden City High School students, makes the position integral to guiding students through their academic careers, kindergarten through 12th grade. “We take the director of guidance position very seriously. It is one of the most important jobs that we do as administrators; to hire the best possible candidates to serve our students,” she said. The last time Garden City Schools hired a new director of guidance (Christel) was 2010, and because the responsibilities and nature of school guidance has evolved Dr. Appiarius said the district recognizes that and drafted a new job description from internal discussion on the role and consultations with Garden City’s school principals. “We looked into what directors are doing now in 2018-2019 that we may not have had on the existing job description. That’s a work in progress but we are going to post the ad for the position early. Often times these administrative positions are posted in late winter or early spring but we would like to get a jump on it,” she explained. Dr. Appiarius said the district will be ready to advertise the director of guidance position as early as November 19, using a variety of sources and job boards for the ad including internally to district employees; OLAS (online application system); New York State School Boards’ Association publications and online advertising or

job boards, and with guidance professionals associations. She mentioned the Nassau County Guidance Directors’ Association and her schools’ personnel association, as well as Dr. Edward Cannone’s (assistant superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction) and Superintendent Sinha’s professional associations. “We’re looking at casting a wide net and we hope that net will be wide enough. If not we will advertise with The New York Times or other major publications and we will put this position out there to the broadest audience possible,” she said. By December 14, Dr. Appiarius said she will hold meetings with all committees and/or constituent groups inside and related to the school district “who may have particular interests in this district role.” Among them are the PTAs and SEPTA plus teachers, guidance counselors and students from Garden City Middle School and Garden City High School. Appiarius said she will speak with students to help organize ideas on “what they seek and value in our guidance department, and what they would like to see.” She will also be speaking with administrators, school building leadership and the district’s support staff about the director position and schools’ guidance. Once the discussion phase is completed, roughly by the holiday break, she expects to have the interview committee for the director of guidance position in place by January 4, 2019. Not every participant in the focus groups will be on the interview committee, but Appiarius expects two representatives from each group she speaks with to be involved on the committee. “We will be screening all the applications once the position has been posted, and that will be an ongoing process and they will not be piled up. As we get applications we will review them. As we get resumes that pique our interest and can be considered as qualified candidates, we will conduct a screening interview so the candidate knows that our process is ongoing but their resume is not just sitting there. If it is a good candidate we’d like to keep them close to the vest so they know what our process is and that we’re interested in their candidacy mov-

ing forward,” Appiarius told the board. After the screening interviews she conducts, a viable candidate would move on to a meeting with school district administration, Drs. Appiarius and Cannone, Assistant Superintendent for Business Dana DiCapua and Superintendent Sinha. From that point in mid-January she expects to be able to present candidates for Garden City Schools’ Director of Guidance to the interview committee. Superintendent Sinha detailed her Entry Plan to lead Garden City Public Schools this academic year on September 5 during the board’s work session, and she followed up with a report on her interactions and initiatives at the September 12 school board meeting, Dr. Sinha explained that in the first week of classes, she met with student leaders at Garden City High School. “Our students are so articulate and to begin 2018-2019 they’ve shared with me what they are really proud of in our schools, and some ideas on what we can do even better. For some of those suggestions that were made, we are hoping to implement this year and in fact some had already started by the first days we were in session. I was very impressed by the GCHS students, in the way they spoke and the way they feel about our school -- it is nice to know how connected the upper grades students feel to our schools,” Dr. Sinha said. She also met with Senator Kemp Hannon, a longtime village resident and advocate for the district, on September 11. Their meeting covered topics including the schools as polling and elections locations, district enrollment, New York State Aid and safety. “Schools safety is an area you will hear us talk about often in the district and I’ve sent home a letter to parents this week. We will continue to provide families updates as we do several new things in our schools, and I thank Assistant Superintendent Dana DiCapua for working hard and collaborating with our Buildings and Grounds department to get some of the safety-related work going by the start of the school year,” she said. The same evening she met with Senator Hannon, Dr. See page 47

From page 1 why the Board of Trustees did not act sooner on a revenue source not being utilized or standardized as people have taken advantage of “free train parking.” “I can’t believe the Board doesn’t find it problematic that people park in 7N and walk to the LIRR, go into Penn Station or Brooklyn with a car parked in Garden City. They do it daily without any sticker or consequence in terms of payments. In that case I would like a refund for my husband’s station parking and I am sure other residents and commuters in Garden City also would request a refund – people get a freebie and I’m not. A lot of us do the right thing,” she said in May. On September 20 Mayor Brian Daughney announced that as part of the Streetscape planning to improve sidewalks and parking downtown, one of the problems to address is the lots such as those adjacent to 7th Street and 6th Street, and the village providing “on some level, free parking for apartment dwellers.” “This impacts residents and our commercial uses of business districts with people going to restaurants and stores. One of the things we’ve been thinking about is to create separate districts within each lot and doing so in some lots, not all the lots, and this idea was discussed with the Traffic Commission and also the property owners’ associations had been talking about it,” the mayor said. He added that the Board of Trustees is awaiting more input from the Village Planning Commission plus the parking consultants, BFJ Planning, hired in October 2017 with a $38,130 contract to conduct a downtown parking survey/ study in Garden City as part of the Streetscape project. “We thought it was time to at least implement a pilot program for paid parking in Lot 7N and approve this as a concept, but we still require input from Garden City Police and the apartment management and residents on how many spaces and where we’d put them. We wanted to instruct our staff here to move forward with that. Hopefully we get scoping for a pilot done by October,” Daughney said. Village Trustee Robert Bolebruch said he believes charging apartment dwellers to park in village lots is an excellent idea because for those residents, since they live right there their vehicles are present most of the time at Lot 7N in any case. “If we have 30 apartments’ residents there who have cars, those 30 cars will be in that lot all the time. What happens is that you basically take those 30 cars and you force them to park where all the other apartment people parking is. That takes those vehicles away from the location of parking spaces where people who go shopping, go to businesses or restau-

rants park. In effect those 30 cars would be in the lot anyway. The difference is they are spread out throughout the lot and people may not be moving those cars for a week or two weeks. Under current conditions there could be four cars sitting right in front of the grocery store (Key Food) for maybe two months and no one else could get those nearby spots,” Bolebruch said. Trustee John Delany believes the Board of Trustees as a governing body would not have sufficient time to evaluate every operation and issue of the village lots in the manner in which the Traffic Commission has done with items discussed at their meetings, which he has been a part of. “I also have a problem with commercial parking restricted overnight as from what I saw, it is mainly village residents who park their commercial vehicles there overnight,” Delany said. Trustee Delany said he will vote against the proposal because he does not believe the village should offer reserved, paid parking in any municipally-owned parking lots and secondly a proposed monthly fee was set too low, he said. He and Trustee Bolebruch were the first to speak in favor of monthly parking in the village lot selling for higher than $150 per year, as specified on the meeting agenda. Bolebruch compared that parking rate to the cost of train station (LIRR) parking in the village: “Our train parking permit for residents cost $175 but it is not for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Even at $250 a year, that parking would cost less than $1 a day. To me, I agree with the concept but consider a higher price involved,” Bolebruch said. During last week’s public comments Pat DiMattia said the permit parking pilot for 7N is a great idea. She calls the lot an ongoing nightmare for not only the residents of Hilton Hall and other apartments nearby, but for frustrated residents throughout Garden City. Then she told the trustees she agrees with Bolebruch and Delany, the $150 is too low and the village should do some competitive market research. Trustee Louis Minuto said the parking permits for 7N were a great idea because “there is a substantial shift” in the center of Garden City towards LIRR commuter parking, and non-residents take spaces for free while village residents must “camp out in order to take a coveted non-resident’s spot” in Lot 7N. He then said because the idea represents just starting a pilot program at this point, he would not want the cost of the parking permit to be exorbitant. “This is really about how it can work operationally for the village lot and there will be a wait and see involved. I do know from experience that the landlords would usually pay for the parking spaces as the apartment units would undoubtedly become more desirable when they come with designat-

ed parking spaces. The value of apartments goes up if there is guaranteed parking….I think we have time to sort through that and the nominal fee can be comparable to train parking. I do not think we should go too crazy on its cost right now. Once we see how much it works, we may decide to change the full cost structure in the future. I am fine how it is written ($150) and to put it into pilot program phase. Many villages, towns and cities have parking programs to phase in the concept,” Trustee Minuto said. Steve Ilardi of Meadow Street, the EPOA vice president, told the Board the Cherry Valley Apartments Inc. charges its residents $35 a month for parking. “The non-resident LIRR parking here is too low-cost. They’d pay $6 a day at Mineola station which is $1200 a year. Based on the fact they are camping out to get spots Garden City is not charging enough. If we charged $600 that is still for half the cost as a commuter would pay at Mineola. If residents here pay $150 or $175 they pay the village taxes so that price is justified. For people outside of the village to camp out for parking spaces here the price is too low -- if they could resell a non-resident permit they would re-sell it for $800 at least,” Ilardi said. Trustee Stephen Makrinos and Trustee Minuto discussed the process ahead for phase-in taking about one year. Mayor Daughney said the goal was for the parking fee and designation to be moved along and it could be changed as needed once Board approval was in place and the program evolved. Trustee Minuto reiterated the goal of

solving non-resident LIRR commuters’ parking in Lot 7N “to get to the stem of the problem.” “We are not setting it tonight but before a fee is established we can find out what Hampshire House and other apartment complexes charge for their parking. If they charge $300 and we charge $150 you will see those people moving their cars into our village lot. Also we need a finite number to vote on of how many parking spaces to be dedicated for permits, after we learn of the total number of units in the adjacent apartments,” Mayor Daughney explained. The trustees’ agenda item for September 20 indicated allocation of one permit per apartment, “for apartment buildings directly continuous to parking field 7N which apartment buildings do not otherwise have parking facilities.” Trustee Minuto thought about future implications for Garden City and asked his fellow trustees, “imagine if we go to permit parking in all the village lots?” He said that having that discussion at the Board of Trustees level is more appropriate and the proposed idea of realigning responsibilities fit, since that would become a larger issue than any items usually managed by the Traffic Commission. “I do think that this can evolve into one of the larger scale issues for the Board to discuss,” he said. Trustee Mark Hyer, chair of the Traffic Commission from spring 2017 until this April, told his fellow trustees last week that they should note the active roles of the POA liaisons in all Traffic Commission topics.

School district outlines guidance director search From page 46 Sinha attended the Village of Garden City’s and the GCFD’s 9/11 tribute and memorial service. “It was a very moving ceremony to honor the community members that we lost on 9/11 as well as our first responders. While it is such a very sad day, you get to see the sense of community alive in Garden City as the community comes

together -- I was very moved by it,” she said. Dr. Sinha finished the sentiment by reading part of a poem in the 9/11 memorial program: “In justice there is peace, in equity there is harmony, in compassion there is healing, in unity there is strength. In hope there is possibility, and in love there is power -- that captured the spirit of the ceremony on September 11,” Sinha said.

Intergenerational connection, education at the Cathedral

This month, the Cathedral of the Incarnation launched two new ways for people of all ages to join together in an imaginative and creative atmosphere. A new family worship service, Cathedral for Kids, is now offered every Sunday at 9:15AM. Described as “a service for the young—and the young at heart”, the service includes interactive movement, traditional hymns, scripture, storytelling, and communion. Children are invited to come up close to The Saint John’s Bible, a large, colorfully illuminated bible, as the scripture of the day is read. They can then take a seat with their parents or on the carpet near the preacher to hear the sermon, which connects prayer with spiritual and social learning. At 10AM each Sunday, Fellowship in Faith will take place at the Mercer School, just south of the cathedral. Families are invited to find colorful flags with unicorn hoofprints that lead the way from the Cathedral for Kids service to Fellowship in Faith. Children can attend Sunday School and adults can enjoy refreshments and participate

in discussions on spirituality and everyday life. The Sunday School curriculum is rotation-based and involves the exploration of children’s spiritual lives through art, storytelling, music and movement. Parents can choose to join their child in the Sunday School classroom or drop them off and enjoy the adult offerings. Those who prefer the 11:15AM Choral Mass at the Cathedral, which features the full cathedral choirs, are invited to begin with Fellowship in Faith and then make their way to the cathedral. The hour-long Fellowship in Faith program represents a shift towards a more effective model of “Church School” in which adults and children learn alongside one another in an atmosphere of curiosity and care. It is also an opportunity for visitors of the cathedral to attend different services and still enjoy fellowship with the full community. For more information on these programs, visit www.incarnationgc.org/ grow

Mindfulness, the conscious practice of self-reflection and self-centering, has been an important part of Hemlock’s daily kindergarten and first-grade classroom life for some time. Principal Audrey Bellovin believes that students and teachers alike can benefit. At last December’s Board of Education meeting and again at the annual spring meeting with Garden City’s preschool directors, primary school teachers shared the importance of mindfulness for students. Through connections at the school made by teacher’s aide Leslie Foxen, Mrs. Bellovin was contacted and interviewed along with social worker Tracy Catalanotti Martinez in mid-July for Stony Brook’s WUSB.fm by Rhea Courtney Bozic. “We had the opportunity to make more people aware of mindfulness and its purpose in children’s well-being,” explained Mrs. Bellovin. The interview went very well,

so well that it ran extra-long when it was recorded on July 13th. Stony Brook University’s radio station will play the segment on October 5th, 6PM. “You were so interesting, and we took an extra ten minutes, so that there may not be any time for a song, what with the public service announcements - it will probably fill the whole 60 minutes,” wrote Mrs. Bozic. “Listeners can tune in on October 5th by googling WUSB.fm, and then hitting the button for ‘On Air’ in the top right-hand corner.” Ms. Bozic recommends streaming on a computer: “...it streams fine and the audio is quite clear.” Please tune in on October 5th to hear how mindfulness can positively impact your child’s life, and also yours. Thank you to Mrs. Bellovin, Mrs. Catalanotti, and Mrs. Foxen for sharing their expertise.

The 10th Annual Keith Caddie Tournament

The 10th Annual Keith R. Cerrato Caddie Tournament (“The Keith”) was held on Monday, August 20th, 2018 at the Cherry Valley Club after being cancelled on Monday, August 13th due to torrential rain. 100 caddies signed up from 17 clubs including Winged Foot Golf Club and Westchester Country Club. “The Keith” is such a unique tournament because the golfers are the caddies. This year, CVC members Gil Puentes, James Mastaglio, Greg Blair and Bill Horstmann caddied for the caddies and enjoyed being on the course looking for the balls and reading the greens. The tournament was established to honor Keith Cerrato who was tragically killed eleven years ago. He was a caddie at Cherry Valley for many years and also worked in the bag room and on the range. To honor Keith’s memory, Ed Kelly, CVC Golf Pro, created the tournament. Even though the greens were soft from all the rain, the scores were very low. Kyle Ritchie, Garden City Country Club, shot 64 and repeated as champion, Tristan Burr from Cold Spring Country Club shot 66 and came in second, while Greg Tricario from Winged Foot Golf Club shot a 69 and finished in third place. The “Richie Mason

Award,” which is in remembrance of long time CVC caddie Richie Mason, was awarded to Danny “Noonan” Mitchell as the low CVC caddie. “The Cerrato Family is very grateful to Cherry Valley Club, Ed Kelly, Golf Pro, Bill Goldschein, Tournament Director and Gary Fochesto, Master of Ceremonies for their continued support”, said John Cerrato, Keith’s dad. The tournament would also like to thank CVC members Patti Horstmann and Mary Ellen Carney for their tireless work during the day as well and especially to all our sponsors. A particular thank you to the following event sponsors for their special generosity: Titleist Golf, Thomas and Barbara Sullivan Foundation, Doscas Family Foundation, Charlie and Denise Strain, Brian and Linda Gold, The Groarke & Burns Family, Ellen and Charlie Manning, Rose and John Dionisio, The Hoops Family and to all who sponsored caddies. Mary Lou Cerrato, Keith’s mom, said: “We are very happy that Cherry Valley continually receives positive exposure for this special day.” Mark Herrmann, Newsday columnist, covers the tournament every year. This year, Mark wrote: “The pro and members at

Ed Kelly, CVC Golf Pro; John Cerrato, Champion Kyle Ritchie from Garden City Country Club, and Mary Lou Cerrato

Cherry Valley Club members Gil Puentes, Bill Horstmann, James Mastaglio and Greg Blair who were the caddies for the day!

All the caddies

Cherry Valley Club in Garden City tend to the caddies’ every need, instead of vice versa. In a few cases, the members even carry the caddies clubs.” He continued: “It is The Keith, the annual caddies tournament and one of Long Island’s noblest golf traditions.” She also added: “If it wasn’t for the generosity of CVC this event would not be able to exist.” Ed Kelly, Bill Goldschein, John and Mary Lou Cerrato, were also interviewed on Sirius XM Golf station where they talked about the tournament and the support CVC has given this event. The money raised has supported at least 50 scholarships at both Chaminade High School and Hofstra University (Keith’s alma maters) for students in need. Since the Cerrato Family can no longer help their son Keith, they have decided to help others less fortunate. Please visit www.keithcaddietournament.com to view pictures from the tournament.

Beyond Bingo: The Third Act of Our Lives BY MARJORIE GOTTLIEB WOLFE This season there’s a new TV program titled, “The Cool Kids.” It stars Leslie Jordan, Vicki Lawrence, David Alan Grier and Martin Mull. If you’ve enjoyed seeing the movies, “Cacoon,” “The Gin Game” and “The Best Exotic Magnolia Hotel,” this program will certainly make you laugh. No doubt you’ve heard these retirement jokes: • A retired husband is often a wife’s full-time job. • You’re probably retired if you and your teeth don’t sleep together. • “Getting lucky” means you remember where you left your white Sonata at the Festival Flea Market Mall in Florida. • You step off the curb and look down one more time to make sure the street is still there. • The funny senior texting code “LOL” doesn’t mean “laughing out loud,” it means “Living On Lipitor.” • I’m very good at opening childproof caps—with a hammer. • I’m the life of the party—even if it lasts until 8 p.m. “The Cool Kids” is a comedy about a

group of friends living in a retirement community named Shady Meadows. That’s a much more pleasant name than “Aged Oaks,” “Rusty Years,” “Out With a Bang,” “Last Sunset Heights,” “Altacocker Acres” or “Ferklempt Estates.” (Thanks, Roz Warren!) And, there’s actually a development in So. Florida named, “Journey’s End.” What was the developer thinking? A synopsis: The above-mentioned residents are willing to break every rule to have a good time. Hank is a gruff, opinionated 21st Century Archie Bunker. Charlie is a bumbling storyteller. He sometimes goes off on tangents about barely believable episodes from his life. Perhaps we’ll see a 2004 episode based on a Metropolitan Diary story by Tony & Sara Soll. n

Dear Diary: Sunday morning, Brooklyn Heights: Sara was in line at a bagel store on Montague Street. Ahead of her was a tall, well-dressed woman with a strong Midwestern accent. She was ordering her breakfast bagel and clearly didn’t want much cream cheese on it. The Hispanic man behind the counter looked puzzled as the customer’s

nasal twang requested, “A sesame bagel with just a teensy, teensy, weeeeensy bit of low fat cream cheese, please.” After saying several times in a strong Latino accent, “I don’t understand,” the counterman looked even more perplexed. The woman mimed the universal finger and thumb sign for just a little bit as she repeated slowly and patiently, “A little, teensy bit of cream cheese.” Suddenly, the man’s face lit up. “Ah!” he said. “You want a schmeer!” n

Or, perhaps Charlie will share this story: Stephanie, an elderly woman, was telling her daughter, Joyce, about a date with a 90-year-old man. “Believe it or not, I had to slap his face three times,” complained Stephanie with a smile. “Do you mean that old man got fresh with you?” Joyce asked with disgust showing all over her face. “Oh, no dear,”explained Stephanie. “I had to keep slapping his face to keep him awake.” n

Sid, another resident, is a pill-popping hypochrondiac.

When he gets ill, will he attempt to get an appointment with the surgeon to the stars, Dr. Oz? Does he define “STD” as “Standing Till Dazed”—a Frank Cerabino word describing a condition that Disney patrons feel from spending too much time waiting in lines? And, will he quote Archie Bunker: “I’m suffering a little bit from smoke EXHILARATION.” “In her elastic stockings, next to her VERY CLOSE veins”? “Shut the door well…we’re catchin’ AMMONIA.” “Sit there like you’re in a COMMA.” “I’m half PROSTATE in the heat.” “My DIGITALIS clock is broken.” “Tell ‘em we’re all DECREASED— we went last night in a suicide pact.” And Margaret, a confident woman, forces her way into the group. Will we hear her use some old-time words like “Belly-aching,” “pill” (a person you can’t take), “Heavens to Betsy” and “fiddle-faddle?” Will she ask her accountant, “Debits still go on the left, right”? Will she complain that her mini-size stainless-steel refrigerator See page D6

Widows Have Questions About Social Security BY TOM MARGENAU

Q: I was getting my own Social Security. Then my husband died and they started paying me his Social Security and took away my own. But why did they do that? Aren’t they two separate benefits and I deserve both? A: The law says if you are due two different Social Security benefits, you don’t get them both. You only get the one that pays the higher rate. And if you think about it, the law makes sense. Without it, everyone in the country who is married or who has ever been married would get two full benefits -- their own and something from their spouse. So I would get my own Social Security check and I also would get a husband’s benefit on my wife’s account. And then she would get her own benefit and a wife’s benefit on my account. And then Warren Buffet would get his own retirement check and a husband’s benefit on his wife’s account. And Warren’s wife would get ... I think you see where I’m going with this. If the law allowed everyone to get every benefit he or she is due, the Social Security system would have gone belly up a long time ago. And if it makes you feel any better, you are getting benefits from two accounts. That’s because the rules say if you are due anything on your own record, you will be paid that first, and then get any extra benefits you might be due from your spouse. For example, let’s say your husband’s benefit was $2,000 per month and your own monthly retirement check was $1,600. When your husband died, you kept getting your own $1,600 and then you started getting an additional $400 from your husband’s account to take you up to his $2,000 rate. I know you just get one check for $2,000 per month and you understandably assume you are only getting a widow’s benefit. But again, on Social Security’s books, you are being paid on off of two records. Q: I am my husband’s second wife. He died about a year ago. I just turned 60 and started getting widow’s benefits. His first wife is also getting widow’s benefits on his record. When she dies, will my rate go up? A: No it won’t. Any Social Security money paid to an ex-wife is just add-on benefit. It takes nothing away from anything you are due on your husband’s account. So if she dies before you do, nothing will change. Q: My husband died about six months ago. He was 78. I am 74. I was a stay-at-home mom throughout our marriage. So I don’t have my own Social Security. I was getting a spousal benefit on his record before he died. And after his death, I started getting widow’s benefits. I have read in some of your past columns that when a husband dies, the widow gets what her husband got at the time of death. But I started getting a little

more. He got $1,368 when he died. And I am now getting $1,505. Should I be worried that they are paying me too much money and will someday ask for it back? A: Don’t worry. I’m sure you are being paid correctly. And I think I know why you are getting a higher rate than your husband was getting before he died. You were right when you quoted me as saying that a woman over age 66 starts getting a widow’s benefit that equals what her husband was getting at the time of death. But I should have added a qualifier: I should have said she gets that “as a general rule.” And you are an exception to that rule. Here is why. Even though you didn’t say, I bet your husband started taking his Social Security at age 62. That meant he was getting an amount equal to 75 percent of his full retirement benefit. And that would normally be your widow’s rate. But there is a rule that says a widow over age 62 is guaranteed to get at least 82.5 percent of her husband’s full benefit. So that’s why you are getting a little more than your husband. Q: My husband died about 25 years ago. At the time, I was in my 40s with two small children. They got monthly survivors benefits and for a while, I was getting a check, too. Those benefits stopped many years ago. Now I am about to turn 66. I’m still working and plan to keep working as long as I can. I never remarried. A friend at work told me that because I got widow’s benefits all those years ago, that I have used up any money I am due on his record and can only rely on my Social Security. Is this true? A: Nope. Your friend is wrong. You can never “use up” money from any Social Security account. In fact, you should get ready to employ the widow’s maximizing option. Here’s how that works. When you turn 66, you should apply for widow’s benefits. You will get 100 percent of your husband’s current Social Security rate. In other words, it will be updated for inflation so you won’t be getting the smaller benefit you were getting a quarter-century ago. Even though you are working, because you will be over age 66, you are due full widow’s benefits with no reduction because of your earnings. Then when you turn 70, you should switch to your own retirement benefits. At that age, you will get 132 percent of your full retirement rate. Q: I’m 80 years old. How come when my husband died last year all I got was the little $255 burial check while all my other widow friends are getting monthly benefits from their dead husband’s account? A: You didn’t give me enough information to fully answer your question. But I’m guessing that you are getting your own Social Security retirement benefit and that it exceeds what you are

due as a widow. I can’t imagine that of all your friends, you are the only one who worked and earned her own Social Security check. I will bet that more than a few of those friends of yours are also getting their own Social Security retirement

check and are not being paid the widow’s benefits they claim to be getting. If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has the answer. Contact him at thomas.margenau@comcast.net. COPYRIGHT 2018 CREATORS.COM

For the final portion of the supernatural event, attendees will participate in a ghost hunt with the R.E.A.P. Investigation team led by Bill Reap beginning at 8 p.m. R.E.A.P. Investigations will hunt for ghostly activities throughout four areas of the hotel, including the Calvert Ballroom

and the 19th floor, which are said to have heightened supernatural activities. At 10 p.m., the Lord Baltimore Hotel will join a live feed with more than 100 other locations as each conduct a ghost hunt at the same time. Perhaps participants will get a glimpse of Lord Baltimore’s resident ghost: a little girl, wearing a long, cream-colored dress and black, shiny shoes, running by the open doorway, bouncing a red ball before her. There have been many times when guests have asked, “Little girl, are you lost?” and the hallway has been completely empty. Event proceeds will be donated to Back on my Feet, an organization that helps to combat homelessness through the power of running and community support. Tickets ($20-50 pp) can be purchased through Eventbrite at: https://www.

Lord Baltimore Hotel is also offering a discounted guest room rate for National Ghost Hunt Day participants. Reservations can be made online through https:// reservations.travelclick. com/85390?groupID=2360767#/ guestsandrooms. Held on the last Saturday of each September, National Ghost Hunt Day serves to enthusiastically commence the start of each new Halloween season. Its noble intention is to globally observe the most haunted properties in the world while recognizing the novice, curious, experts and professionals that investigate paranormal activity in these iconic locations! For more information, visit http://nationalghosthuntingday. com. The Lord Baltimore Hotel is in the heart of downtown Baltimore, within walking distance of many local attractions. Originally built in 1928, the hotel was purchased in 2013 and completely renovated by Rubell Hotels. A member of Historic Hotels of America (historichotels.org), the official program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the Lord Baltimore is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (20 W. Baltimore Street, Baltimore, MD, 21201 www. lordbaltimorehotel.com). But what may be the most haunted of Historic Hotels of America members is 1886 Crescent Hotel & Spa, in Eureka Springs Arkansas: “Guests who check out but never leave” at the 1886 Crescent Hotel and Spa include Michael, the Irish stonemason who helped build the hotel in 1885; Theodora, a patient of Baker’s Cancer Curing Hospital in the late 1930s; and “the lady in the Victorian nightgown”, who likes to stand at the foot of the bed in Room 3500 and stare at guests while they sleep. These are

only three of the dozens upon dozens of spirits that guests and visitors have reported encountering in this historic hotel in the Ozark Mountains. This mountaintop spa resort, which has also become known as “America’s Most Haunted Hotel” and has been featured on popular shows like Ghost Hunter’s and Bio Channel’s My Ghost Story offers nightly tours that gain exclusive access to some of the most famous ghost sighting locations (recommended for 8 years and up; families with younger children should join the earliest tour.) And on October, 31, you can join a Halloween Séance. For more haunted historic hotels, visit historichotels.org. Also in Eureka Springs, the 1905 Basin Park Hotel, which features a mysterious underground cave, offers a 90-minute Spirits of the Basin “ghost adventour” that combines a ghost tour with the adventure of paranormal investigation. It starts with a guided ghost hunt (in period costume) of the most haunted spaces and ends with a chilling ghost story told by candlelight and a sample of the bootleg liquor (http://www.spiritsofthebasin. com/) Oktoberfest Weekend Celebrations Return to Hunter Mountain Temperatures in the northeast have begun to trend cooler, and as the leaves begin to change, Hunter Mountain is hosting its long tradition of Oktoberfest celebrations. Voted among the top 10 Best Oktoberfests in the Nation by USA Today, Hunter Mountain’s Oktoberfest weekends celebrate the arrival of autumn with authentic traditional German-American festivities, food and culture with a variety of entertainment options during all four free weekends. Oktoberfest weekends also occur in conjunction with specialty events alongside plentiful food and craft

beverages, live music, artistic vendors, lawn games, our Scenic Skyride and much more. The Colors in the Catskills: OffRoad Edition is a new arrival for our second weekend of Oktoberfest (Sept. 29 & 30) and allows guests to explore Hunter Mountain’s vast trail network in the midst of fall foliage season. Lead by knowledgeable and experienced guides from Northeast Off-Road Adventures, guests can register their 4X4 vehicles to participate in off-road tours of Hunter Mountain. Additionally, drivers and passengers alike will be able to purchase exclusive camping packages that grant them access to camping right on the Mountain. The Das Laufwerk Eurocar Rally and 18-time Grammy award winner Jimmy Sturr return to Hunter Mountain for the third weekend of Oktoberfest (Oct. 6 & 7) to rock the stage and showcase some of best European cars our guests have to offer. The Das Laufwerk Eurocar Rally is open to guests and completely free to attend! All European car models are welcome and will have access to exclusive parking in a reserved lot located close to the Hunter Mountain base lodge. Guests

attending this weekend of Oktoberfest will have a chance to see the finest in German engineering including Audis, Volkswagens, Porsches and much more The final weekend of Oktoberfest (Oct. 13 and 14) will celebrate wineries from around New York State with our Wine Tasting on the Mountain event. This year’s wine tasting event will host wineries from Long Island to the Finger Lakes. Similarly to our Ciders in the Catskills event, guests will be able to purchase VIP tasting packages which provide them with a voucher for 20 wine tastings, a commemorative wine glass and t-shirt as well as admission for one to our Scenic Skyride. Admission to Oktoberfest is free and gates open each weekend at 11 am – 6:15 pm Saturdays and from 11 am– 5:15 pm Sundays. All four Oktoberfest weekends are held indoors and outdoors, rain or shine. Located in the heart of the Great Northern Catskills, Hunter Mountain is a four-season resort. Throughout the spring, summer and fall, Hunter Mountain offers a variety of outdoor activities, weddings, group retreats, festivals and concerts while surrounded

by magnificent views of the Catskill Mountains. The 3,200’ summit of Hunter Mountain provides panoramic views of the surrounding landscape and is accessible from May – October via the Scenic Skyride. An easy 2 ½ hour ride North of New York City, Hunter Mountain can be a day trip or overnight getaway for sightseeing, relaxation, hiking, fly fishing, zip lining and much more. Hunter Mountain abuts the Catskills Preserve with spectacular hiking. Follow the Hudson River School Art Trail (my favorite trails are in the North-South Campground and Kaaterskill Falls). Further help planning a visit is available from Greene County Tourism, 700 Rte 23B, Leeds, NY 12451, 800-355-CATS, 518-943-3223, www.greatnortherncatskills. com and its fall hub http://www. greatnortherncatskills.com/catskillsfall-foliage The I LOVE NEW YORK weekly foliage report – a detailed map charting fall color progress, vantage points for viewing spectacular foliage, suggested autumn getaways and weekly event listings – is available

Men’s Baseball Team captures 2018 League Championship

The 10th player are the kids of the men’s team, their greatest fans

Brothers Brian and Mike Harrington with Pierce and Eamon

BY JOHN SORENSEN ‘Baby Come Back’ was a 1970’s Billboard #1 pop song from the rock group, Player. You might remember it. The title might also serve as the theme for the 2018 Garden City Men’s baseball team’s epic playoff run. In winning three, best-of-three playoff series, all six victories found the team losing at one point in each game. Baby Come Back indeed. Following a season which saw a respectable 10-5 regular season record, the men’s team finished tied for third place and seeded fourth in the Men’s Senior Baseball League playoffs. In order to advance to the championship, the team had to win three playoff rounds – including a round-two matchup against the defending champion and 2018 first place team, the L.I. Athletics. The first playoff game against a team based in Islip was a lopsided 13-4 rain shortened win highlighted by Greg Rooney’s long bottom of the first inning grand slam and six RBI’s. Brian Harrington, coming off a strong finish to the regular season, got the W, allowing two hits with five strikeouts over five innings. Game two of the series proved to be a preview of the rest of the playoffs – close affairs where pitching, defense and small ball would play a key role in securing a victory. John Mierzejewski took the mound and held the opposition to two hits and three unearned runs before the ball was handed to six-game winner Mike Harrington. Mike promptly shut the door on a sixth inning rally, and the team was down by 3-2 entering the seventh. Singles by Rooney and Roger Tusiani-Eng and a long sacrifice fly from Cesar Cabral provided GC with a 4-3 lead. That lead was held in check by Harrington and the team’s first round sweep led to a matchup against the first place, 12-3 Athletics. Brian Harrington had the start for game and pitched one of the best games of the season. Down 3-0 in the 4th, GC came back strong in the fifth with four runs, adding an insurance run in the 8th for a 5-3 victory. Talented rookie Brian Schnabel was the game’s offensive catalyst with two hits, a stolen base and two runs scored. As for righthander Brian Harrington, he threw a complete game three hitter with seven strikeouts… and pitched more than half the game with a broken arm. It was in the fourth inning that Brian slid awkwardly into second base on a steal attempt – he came up holding his left shoulder but insisted on staying in to pitch. Following the game, a Dr. visit revealed a nondisplaced fracture of the left humerus bone – none of the team found this to be funny as Brian advised that he was done for the season. Now looking for the second round sweep, ace Mike Harrington came up big with his eight win of the season. With GC down 5-2 in the 7th, Cesar Cabral parked a ball some 330 feet over the left center field fence at Eisenhower Park for a two-run home run. As the ball’s trajectory was quite high, several players wondered if meals were being served on that flight. The blast energized the team, and another run in the 8th tied the game at five going into extra innings. John Sorensen led off the 10th with a single to left, a clutch Justin Blott sac bunt and two two-out walks loaded the bases.

Harrington worked the count in his favor and drew a rare walk-off walk in a 6-5 win. The sweep was complete thanks to Mike’s gutty 10 inning complete game gem. Keith Friedman starred on defense at third and was a key with seven assists. The finals saw GC playing the second place NY Grizzlies, a team who had beaten GC for the championship in 2011. Shorthanded in the first game, GC was dominated in a lopsided double-digit loss. Game two was the next night on August 26th at Community Park, and things did not look good as the Grizzles promptly plated a two run lead heading into the third. The men’s team was now six innings away from getting swept, but the never quit group bounced back with seven runs over the next two innings, led by Ryan Saraco’s clutch four hit game and a key walk to Jim Burns which set up a five run 5th. Once again, Mike Harrington pitched the toughest stretch of innings, the last five in relief to hold off the opposition in a tight, 7-6 victory. Pitching was now at a premium heading into the championship game at Cantiague Park on September 1st. The team showed up with family members in tow with the series tied at one game apiece. Brian Harrington, whose arm was in a sling for two weeks, showed up in uniform (sans sling) and advised that he was cleared by his Dr. only for pitching. The decision was made to let Brian start and to save his brother for the finish, a plan that was working well in these playoffs. Because Brian could not raise his left arm above his shoulder, catcher Cabral did an amazing job at throwing each pitch back below shoulder height. Brian threw four shutout innings to start in a very gutsy performance. That’s what GC needed, although the Grizzlies battled back in the 5th, taking a 3-1 lead. Mike Harrington was called upon once again, and he stopped the 5th inning rally with three quick outs. That lead did not last for long. Mike Salata, riding a seven-game hitting streak, keyed a two-run inning with an RBI rope and the game was now, and remained, tied at 3 going into the bottom of the 8th. That is when the Grizzlies rallied. With runners on first and second and no out, a single to left brought the potential go ahead run around third and heading home. Left fielder Saraco fired a strike to catcher Cabral, who put the tag on the runner at the plate. That proved to be a pivotal play in the game, as was the ensuing play to second baseman Tusiani-Eng. With a runner on third, Roger fielded a ground ball to his right and quickly fired home to Cabral, getting another potential go-ahead run on a tag play at the plate. The tie was preserved with two stellar defensive plays, and the score remained all tied at 3-3 after nine tense innings. It was in the top of the 10th that GC came back big, scoring four runs on a sac fly by Mike Harrington and key hits by Mierzejewski and Rooney. Mike did not allow a run in his six innings of relief, and was three outs away from his 10th win in the process. GC closed it out in the bottom of the 10th. The final out was hit to third baseman Marc Mehlman, who squeezed the infield fly that started the on-field celebration. The sixth come from behind victory was complete. Final score 7-3. Baby Come Back indeed.

Christian Roddini’s 1st Thunder touchdown!

AJ Haffner leaps over the Broncos The Thunder 8s traveled to the Seaford Broncos this past Sunday in a tight game where Thunder took the victory with a score of 13-12. The Thunder defense got the boys off to a great start when Brett Webber came up with the fumble recovery, setting up rookie Christian Roddini’s first career Thunder touchdown on a handoff from quarterback Ryan Rafferty. AJ Haffner

then went on to score the extra point. The defense then came back out and once again saddled the Broncos. CJ Mattice and Zachary Psilakis joined together to sack the QB, followed by great stops from Christian Roddini and Vance Palmer. Psilakis went on to inflict another fumble, but the Broncos recovered that time. Tyler Feeney and Kevin

Pryblyski, along with Ethan Dorsainvil, Gavin Macchio, and Christian Gamba, had great tackles that turned the ball over to the Thunder. The Thunder offense looked great with runs by Jeffrey Finnell, Kevin Prybylski, Ethan Dorsainvil, James Walker and Crosby Kraus. The O-line cleared the way with great blocking by RJ Falvey, Wolfgang Ulrich and Connor Doherty, allowing Haffner and Rafferty to score, but both touchdowns were called back. The defense’s Legion of Boom, Colin Walsh, Ronan Coyle, Brian Khan, Zachary Psilakis, Crosby Kraus, Christian Agnetti,

Kevin Sorohan and RJ Mongelli, held the Broncos to only 2 touchdowns, and Christian Rodinni came up with the big stop of Seaford’s extra point attempt.

Next up for Walker’s Thunder 8s, the boys will travel to Mineola to face the Chiefs on Sunday at 9:00AM. Come down and cheer on this amazing team. Go Thunder!

Thunder 8s continue to dominate

Thunder 8’s home opener At Saturday’s home opener, the Thunder 8s charged through their team banner led by game co-captains Crosby Kraus, CJ Mattice, Christian Roddini and Zachary Psilaski, as the GC Spirit Cheerleaders made their debut and their GCHS Football Team mentors encouraged them from the sideline. Upon receiving the ball, The Garden City Thunder 8s continued to dominate as they took on the Uniondale Knights. On their opening sequence, The Thunder roared down the field under the leadership of quarterbacks James Walker and Ryan Rafferty, allowing Jeffery Finnell to score thanks to great blocking by Vance Palmer, RJ Falvey and AJ Haffner. Haffner then went on to score the extra point. The defense only gave up one TD from

this talented Uniondale team because of great stops by Christian Gamba, Gavin Macchio, Kevin Sorohan and Tyler Feeney. Great tackles by Cristian Agnetti, Ronan Coyle and Brian Kahn shut down the Knights offense. Thunder’s offence of Wolfgang Ullrich, Connor Doherty, Colin Walsh and Christian Roddini kept the pressure on Uniondale resulting in two more touchdowns by Kevin Prybylski and Ethan Dorsainvil, and an extra point by Ryan Rafferty. Mark Escher and Brett Webber, along with CJ Mattice, Zachary Psilaski and Crosby Kraus pulled double duty with both great tackles and ball carries. The Thunder 8s will take on Seaford at Seaman’s Neck Park on Sunday at 11:00. Come cheer them on! Go Thunder!

The first Sunday of fall at Community Park brought a slight crisp breeze, perfect for football. The Uniondale Knights came ready to play, but Thunder 9 was driven to grab their second win of the season on home turf. Once again, defense play was sharp, constantly thwarting a Knight offensive

push. Owen Sack and Thomas Bacich dominated with their tackling. Anthony Asaro put Thunder on the board with a 10-yard run for 6, but the Knights denied an extra point attempt by Luca Thomas to end the first quarter. The second quarter launched with powerful runs by Bacich for 45 yards

and Kelly Knapp for 15 to give Thunder a first and goal position. Maximo Siragusa sailed across the goal line for the score and subsequent extra point play to put GC up 13-0. Coverage by Kyle Glosman and Brendan Benn prevented the Knights from advancing as the 4th quarter began. Nathan Cohenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first TD of the year put GC up 19-0. With another victory in reach,

the defensive domination continued with outstanding tackling by Vincent Lattuca, who refused to allow the Knights to score easily. Liam Hanrahan, Aidan Pascale and Oliver Gibson provided added pressure as the game clock wound down. With a final score of 19-7, Thunder 9s are headed to Rockville Centre on Sunday, 9/30 for a 10:30AM game. Go Thunder!

Anthony Asaro (14) puts 6 points on the board for Thunder.

Within a 24-hour period, Garden City Girls Varsity Field Hockey team outscored both Cold Spring Harbor and Northport to bring their record to a decisive 6-0. On Friday, September 21st, Garden City began their road campaign, and their first stop was Cold Spring Harbor where they blew the doors off the Lady Seahawks with a 6-0 victory. The Lady Trojans came out fast and strong, scoring 5 of their goals in the first half. Senior Amanda Cerrato started the momentum with a breakaway goal off an assist from captain Caitlin Cook. Next, Cook found the net to make the game 2-0. Leading Nassau County scorer senior Grace Kelly made it 3-0, and then assisted Cook to score her second goal of the game. Before the half ended, Cook completed her hat trick to bring Garden City to a comfortable 5-0 lead. In the second half, Sophie Read supported

the offense, while Kylie Tierney assisted Kelly to bring the tally to 6-0. Throughout the game, the midfielders, captains Ella Heaney and Liana McDonnell, sophomore Lizanne Griffith, and junior Kylie Tierney, worked tirelessly to own the midfield and deliver opportunities to the scorers. Sophomore Sarah Killcommons anchored the defense, while sophomores Olivia Kaval and Sydney Pappas, along with junior Julia Fornasar, played like a brick wall. Because of the hard work by the defense and midfielders, senior goalie Katie Mullins, always at the ready, was only asked to save one goal. The next morning, the Lady Trojans were back on the bus heading out to Suffolk County to take on Northport. Once again, Amanda Cerrato drew first blood off an assist from Liana McDonnell to put Garden City up 1-0. Next, Sarah

While Garden City dominated, Northport’s persistence paid off, bringing the game to 2-1. It didn’t take long for Garden City to respond, as Kylie Tierney skillfully took advantage of a penalty corner and a pass from Liana McDonnell to make it 3-1. With three minutes left of the game, Northport capitalized on Garden City being man-down, and scored, making the final 3-2. While the final score appears close, there was never any doubt that Garden City would emerge victorious. Captain Ella Heaney completely controlled the mid-

field with the help from Liana McDonnell, Lizanne Griffith, and Kylie Tierney. Also solid on defense, Sarah Killcommons and her fellow sophomore forces, Olivia Kaval and Sydney Pappas protected the goal. The ever-fierce Katie Mullins made 3 great saves while Northport fought off 12 Garden City shots on goal. The Garden City girls are now six for six and ready to keep rolling! The Garden City Varsity Field Hockey team hits the road again Friday, September 28th, to play Massapequa at Berner Junior High at 4:45. Come out and support the girls! HEY RED!

Aidan Coyne

Ford Carney The Garden City varsity football team rolled into Kennedy High School this past Saturday, bringing with them a 2-0 record and a target on their collective backs. Kennedy opened the game with the football and was quickly forced to punt. The Trojan offense then went to work, and after a series of completions by quarterback Colin Hart, the Trojans had a first and 13 from the Kennedy 32. Hart pitched to back Trevor Yeboah-Kodie, and YeboahKodie did the rest, gliding to the end zone for his first score of the day. On Kennedy’s next offensive possession on a 3rd and 4, end Liam Griffith got to the Kennedy quarterback and sacked him for a 4 yard loss, forcing the Kennedy punt team to come on. After a fake punt that came up short, the Trojan offense went back to work, and in short order, Yeboah-Kodie scored again on a run from the Kennedy 25 yard line. On the ensuing kickoff return,

Trojan Timmy Curran announced himself putting a huge hit on the Kennedy kick returner. The first quarter came to end with the score of 14-0. On the Trojans' opening drive of the 2nd quarter, Hart hit Ford Carney with a pass from the 30 yard line that Carney brought, after bulling through a number of defenders to the half yard line. On the next play from scrimmage, Yeboah-Kodie punched it in for his 3rd touchdown of the day. On the kickoff, special team player Lucas Feingold made a big hit on the Kennedy return man to stop him at the Kennedy 30 yard line. After another quick 3 and out, the Trojan offense took the field, and on the first play of the series, Yeboah-Kodie took the handoff from Hart and ran straight through the tackles, splitting the Kennedy defense in half for a 74 yard touchdown run. Following Yeboah-Kodie’s 4th touchdown of the day, the Trojans were up 28-0.

Thunder 7s fall short despite herculean effort

The Farmingdale Hawks flew into Community Park to take on the Garden City Thunder 7s this past Sunday morning at Community Park. Even with a late night strategy session the previous evening, the Thunder didn’t have any answers for the Hawks. Farmingdale came away with a 20-0 victory despite tenacious defense led by Caden Fowler, Sean Campbell, Michael Griffith, Ryan Jackson, Zach LaRosa and Finn Stewart. On the offensive side of the ball, the Thunder had a series of stalled drives despite acrobatic runs from Kevin

Heggerty, Thomas Breheny, Andy Coelen and Henry Campolettano. The sold-out crowd saw quarterback George Lekanides captain the ship behind stalwart blocking provided by Luke Savio, Donovan Carroll, Rhys Anderson, Billy Donovan and William Griffin. Halftime entertainment was provided by the Garden City Spirit who brought the house down. The Thunder return to action on Sunday at 9AM to take on Rosedale. Tickets are still available at the box office.

Joe Scattareggia Kennedy kept battling and on a 3rd down plan, a Kennedy receiver got behind the Trojan defense and caught a long pass for what appeared to be a touchdown. However, the receiver, while trying to walk a tight rope down the sideline, stepped out at the tenyard line, giving the Trojan defense a chance to regroup and keep the shut out intact. Regroup they did with the defense keeping Kennedy out of the end zone, taking over on downs at the 2 yard line. On the 2nd play of the Garden City drive, Yeboah-Kodie took a pitch from Hart at the 13 yard line and dashed down the sideline for an 87 yard touchdown run, his 5th of the first half. Yeboah-Kodie’s day was finished as he ran for 256 yards and 5 touchdowns on 10 first half carries. The 3rd quarter again featured junior quarterback Gavin Paskewitz and sophomore backs Pierce Archer and Michael Deluca running the offense. The Trojan scoring was

punctuated in the 3rd quarter by a Pierce Archer touchdown. Kicker Chase Gardi completed all 6 point after attempts. The 3rd quarter featured some big defensive hits by Andy Borzilleri and an interception by Ryan McCormack. The 4th quarter saw both teams go scoreless and Garden City Coach Ettinger took the opportunity to spread the playing time around. Of note is that with an injury to punter Danny Boccafola and an injury to kicker Gardi limiting him to extra points only, Joe Scatteregia handled the punting and kickoff duties in addition to receiving and his defense back positions. Garden City is now 3-0 on the year and plays cross town rival Carey, Saturday the 29th at 2:00PM at Garden City High School. Carey comes to Garden City High School 2-1 narrowly beating Elmont Memorial this past Saturday.

Strong start for Garden City Boys Varsity Soccer

Junior forward Owen Heaney

Junior goalie Joe Griffin

Senior captain Will Crowley The Garden City Boys Varsity Soccer team entered the 2018 season focused on building off its accomplishments from 2017 when it captured Nassau County and Long Island Class A titles. A strong mix of returning Juniors and Seniors, bolstered by several new Sophomore arrivals has the team ready to achieve high goals again. Months of hard work during the summer have prepared the boys for a rigorous early season schedule. With a high energy, ball control style of play and suffocating defense, the Trojans are exciting to watch and pointed in the right direction after the first few weeks of the season.

Lead by Senior captains James Basile, Will Crowley and TJ Schmitt, the Trojans started the season with a strong 2-0 non-conference win over traditional Nassau County Class A power Jericho. The Garden City defense featuring Ethan Senatore, Tom Aneser, Will Crowley and Joe McNiff along with Bobby Seel and goalkeeper Joe Griffin held Jericho at bay throughout the afternoon. Ethan Senatore opened the scoring for the Trojans nodding in a corner kick from Owen Heaney midway through the first half. Senior Justin Hessler iced the game for the Trojans off another assist from Owen Heaney with about ten minutes left.

Senior captains James Basile and TJ Schmitt The Trojans followed up the game with Jericho the very next day with a non-league game against Lawrence, another traditional Nassau County Class A power. Despite oppressive heat, the Trojans started fast with Sophomore Andy Schneider tallying two quick goals â&#x20AC;&#x201C; his first varsity goals. Lawrence rebounded from the early deficit and tied the game before halftime. The second half was a back and forth battle with each team having numerous scoring chances. Lawrence eventually converted late in the game and came away with a 3-2 victory. The game was a good test for the team

and allowed the boys to learn where they can improve as the season moves along. The Trojans opened their league season against Elmont on September 13. Once again the team started strong, burying three first half goals and controlling play with crisp passing and outstanding efforts on all 50:50 balls. A strength of this edition of the Trojans is its incredible depth. The second half saw the Trojans use this strength as Coach Cutter was able to get all of the field players on the team into the game and build the lead to a 7-0 result. Goal scorers on the day

Lady Trojans keep kicking after losing heartbreaker

Junior Mary Haggerty taking the corner kick against North Shore that leads to Sydney Ehrhart’s goal. The Girls Soccer team remains in search of its first W of the season after losing a heart-breaker to North Shore by a score of 2-1 on Saturday afternoon followed by a 0-0 tie against Wantagh on Tuesday, but remain hopeful and determined to right the ship. Last Saturday, Garden City, coming off a 1-1 tie against Manhasset, hosted a North Shore team also seeking its first win. Despite plenty of action in the first half, the game was scoreless at halftime,

thanks to the stout defense of senior captains Kara Metzler and Erin Healy, junior Claire Maguire, sophomore Kelly Brennan and senior goalkeeper Lindsey Gambino. First-half chances to score included great runs through the North Shore defense by juniors Maggie Connolly and Jesse Yoo, who would later leave the game with a knee injury. North Shore came out of the intermission with more intensity and kept the ball mainly on the GC side of the field for the first 15 minutes of the second

half. GC’s lone scoring opportunity in the early going came on a great free kick by Claire Maguire from distance that just the North Shore goalkeeper narrowly secured. Unfortunately, with less than 18 minutes on the clock, North Shore’s #10 got around the GC defense and buried one in the side of the net. GC responded with a beautiful 2-touch goal by sophomore Sydney Ehrhart off a perfect corner kick by junior Mary Haggerty. The teams battled for the remainder of the game, with the Trojans only creating a few scoring opportunities, including a good-looking free position by Haggerty that just skipped past the inside post. North Shore on the other hand, making a concerted effort to get the ball to their best player, continued to pressure the defense with quality scoring chances, until #10 found the back of the net for the second time of the day with 1:47 left in the game. With a few days to recover from a heartbreaker, the Lady Trojans traveled to face against the Lady Warriors of Wantagh. In conditions that, by the end of the game more-closely resembled a monsoon or a movie set than a soccer game, the girls refused to lose. Maybe it was the sting of the tough loss to North Shore, the return to the lineup of senior captains Erin Studdert and Gracie McManus or the arrival of freshman call-up Renee Galisz, playing in her 2nd game, but there was a noticeable uptick in the team’s intensity. Even with

the high energy play though, GC couldn’t capitalize on its scoring opportunities. Early on in the first half, Maggie Connolly got behind the defense off a big throw-in by Healy, but the Wantagh goalie was ready and made the save. Shortly after that, Maguire crushed a free position nearly from the parking lot, but it sailed wide and high. And then the weather came. About mid-way through the first half, the skies opened and unleashed a downpour for the next hour, which really slowed the pace of play. After that, the game was played mainly in the middle of the field. GC’s opportunities to score in the first half were limited to one ball Studdert played through the Wantagh defense to Connolly and another shot on goal by Connolly. For the 3rd game in a row, GC went into the break tied at 0-0. By the start of the second half, the rain had reached biblical proportions and the play reflected the sloppy conditions. While scoring chances were few, every ball in either team’s box felt like an adventure, fraught with peril for the goalkeeper. After 40 minutes, the score remained 0-0, notching the first shutout of the season for the defense and goalies Gambino and junior Julianna Ingrassia. The team looks to knock off perennial powerhouse South Side at home on Thursday for its first win and then plays at Shoreham Wading River on Saturday. GO GC!
