Recreation Comm looks at pool membership data

WINNING STREAK CONTINUES

BY RIKKI N. MASSAND At its meeting on Wednesday, September 19 the Board of Commissioners of Cultural & Recreational Affairs met to discuss membership trends during the 2018 season at the Garden City Pool. The subject has received scrutiny from the Commission at most of its monthly meetings as enhancements have been made at the pool in recent years. The pool's revenues have been discussed and considered at many Village Board of Trustees meetings since 2014.

End of Pool Season Survey

The Garden City High School Boys Varsity soccer team extended its winning streak to six straight and remains undefeated in league play. Above, sophomore forward Andy Schneider and junior defender Ethan Senatore move the ball forward. See page 58 for more coverage.

New scoreboard planned for Comm Park BY RIKKI N. MASSAND On Thursday September 20 the Village Board of Trustees approved a contract for new scoreboard installation (a budgeted capital project) at Community Park, specifically a double-sided scoreboard facing Field 3, the smaller baseball field, as well as the 105-yard synthetic turf Multipurpose Field that opened for play in August 2017. The contract approved by the Board is from vendor Palace Electrical Contractors, Inc., of Wantagh, the low bidder for the project. According to the vil-

lage’s weekly Garden City Update published on September 28, the contract amount for Palace Electrical came in at $194,000. At the Rec. Commission’s meeting one night prior to the trustees’ approval, on September 19, village department head of Recreation and Parks Kevin Ocker explained the award of the bid and the start of work after the contract is signed, likely several weeks away. “The goal is to get into the ground and get the foundation work and concrete for the scoreboard before the winter’s real cold weather,” he

said. Recreation Commission member Christian Siragusa asked about the feasibility of electrical line connections at the fields in the heart of Community Park and Ocker told him there was conduit laid for the Multipurpose Field that can be utilized with the pole site, and the site of this scoreboard off the service road for Community Park would be a benefit.

Later in the Commission meeting Ocker discussed the $750,000 See page 43

Rec. Commission Chairman and head of the village’s Department of Recreation and Parks Kevin Ocker announced the recent initiative to study trends in pool memberships throughout Nassau County and in the immediate region of the New York tri-state area. The Rec. Commission also considered the feedback from a survey distributed to members of the pool. The “End of Pool Season 2018” survey remains available online on the Recreation and Parks division website, gardencityrecreation.org. To gain more useful feedback Rec. Commission member Judy Courtney led an in-person focus group at the end of this summer’s pool season, which for the first time was extended past Labor Day to the delight of many pool go-ers.

Family memberships down

“We took a tremendous hit in family memberships sold, down by about 139 family memberships purchased for 2018 -- from 1,482 sold in 2017 we lost 139 (roughly a 7% drop). For individual memberships we were down by 23 from last year, we were down by 30 ‘family of two’ memberships and decreased by 10 for senior 12-packs. In the rest of the categories we were up by a little. Obviously we are concerned and we want to continue running this as an enterprise but that’s a challenge as we move forward. When we prepare the Recreation and Parks budget and the Pool Enterprise’s for 2019-2020, we will start to build it off our most recent history and See page 42

BY GARY SIMEONE Garden City resident Christopher Werle experienced something few other people in their lives ever will. The longtime managing partner of Waterzooi, Novita and Croxley Ale restaurants was officially knighted in Belgium last weekend for his 25 years of promoting Belgian culture and selling Belgian products. The knighting ceremony was held at the Grand-Place in Brussels, by the Brewer’s Guild, one of the oldest professional association’s in the world. “They held a ceremony on Friday, the first day we were there near the cathedral in Brussels, which was attended by a couple thousand people,” said Werle. “The next day they sat twelve of us in a packed room in the town square, and awarded us with medals, a signed certificate by the Brewers Guild, and we were officially knighted.” He said the whole experience was a whirlwind of emotions that he’ll never forget. “It was a great, fun day, a little crazy though, with all the people and the awards,” said Werle. “There were twelve other people from around the world, including me, who were being knighted for promoting Belgian cul-

ture.” Werle said that he received a call from members of the Guild a few months ago, telling him that he was up for the consideration of knighthood. “They told me that I had been on their list for ten years and that they wanted to fly me over to Belgium to Knight me the last weekend in September.” He ended up taking his wife Melissa and his chef partner, Ed Davis, and his wife to the ceremony which took place over the Belgian Beer Weekend Festival. Werle said that he and his other partners, got the inspiration for Waterzooi, which held its twentieth anniversary this year, from visiting Belgium and experiencing its culture and cuisine. “My other business partners, Ed (Davis) and Jeff Piciollo, had taken trips to Belgium over twenty years ago, and that’s how we got the inspiration to open Waterzooi. We fell in love with their incredible food and beer selections and the culture in general.” Waterzooi and Novita restaurants have received a lot of accolades over the years including the 5 Star Diamond Award, which is given by the American Academy of Hospitality Sciences for companies which demonstrate the highest levels of hospitality and service in the world.

Christopher Werle, second from left, managing partner of Waterzooi, Novita and Croxley restaurants was knighted in Belgium.

Local author’s children’s books focus on health awareness BY GARY SIMEONE Her new book is called, ‘Counting Sweets for Claire the Panda Bear,’ and it is the second children’s book in a health awareness series for the Garden City resident and author, Christine Cirillo. The 22 year old Cirillo, who is a senior nursing student at Molloy College, said she came up with the idea for her book as part of her nursing school project at the school. “When I first started writing in 2015, and I wanted to try and focus on health awareness in children,” said Cirillo. “I have a peanut allergy, so I thought that would be an interesting topic to write about.” Her first book entitled, ‘No More Peanuts for Ellie the Elephant: Kid Safety on Peanut Allergies,’ is an educational coloring book with a poetic theme. In the back of the book is medical information and terminology for parents who might be unfamiliar with the signs and symptoms of peanut allergies. In ‘Claire the Panda Bear,’ Cirillo said she got a little more in-depth with her topic, which is a little girl who is dealing with a diagnosis of Type I diabetes. “In the book I talk about her diagnosis, signs and symptoms of the disease

and her follow up care and management. This book kind of hit home for me because I have a family member who is living with this disease.” She said that in the book, she also tries to pinpoint some of the misconceptions about the disease and identify the differences between Type I and Type 2 diabetes. “As a nursing student and an ER technician at Winthrop hospital, I’ve seen people not identify symptoms correctly or be able to distinguish between the two types of diseases,” said Cirillo. She added that for each book she writes, she makes sure all of her research is accurate and up-to-date. “For Example, there is new information on how much candy diabetics are allowed to consume now on a daily basis and also with the injection time for EpiPen’s for an allergic reaction.” In the next two years, Cirillo has six more children’s books in the works including ones on asthma, autism, deafness, cancer awareness and secondary illnesses related to cancer. She is also in the process of writing a novel for adults about the dangers of online dating. “What makes these books so unique is that there is no other health awareness series out there that serves as a coloring book for children,” said Cirillo.

GC PTA screening of Angst: Raising Awareness Around Anxiety IndieFlix Foundation is sparking a global conversation about anxiety through screenings of its brand-new documentary recommended for parents of children/young adults of every age, Angst: Raising Awareness Around Anxiety. On October 18th at 7PM, the Garden City Parent Teacher Association will hold a special screening of the documentary at the Stratford School auditorium to open up a dialogue between local families, community leaders and experts. The event will feature a viewing of the film, followed by an informative panel discussion, with special guests Dr. Jerry Bubrick, senior director of Anxiety Disorders Center, Child Mind Institute and Scilla Andreen, IndieFlix CEO and Angst producer. Through candid interviews, the film tells the stories of many kids and teens who discuss their anxiety and its impacts on their lives and relationships, as well as how they’ve found solutions and hope. The film also includes a special interview with Michael Phelps, a mental health advocate and one of the greatest athletes of all time. In addition, the documentary provides discussions with mental health experts about the causes of anxiety and its sociological effects, along with the help, resources and tools available to address the condition. FREE TICKETS are now available and space is limited! Please visit https://www.smore.com/6q1w2-angst for more information and to reserve your seats. The screening will be held

at the Stratford School auditorium on October 18th at 7PM. While Angst documents the struggles some people have with anxiety, it also reveals their hope for the future. Noah, a teenager in the film, describes it this way: “Anxiety doesn’t define me. It’s not just a curse; it also gives me strength.” “Everybody needs to know that anxiety disorders are real, common and treatable instead of viewing them as a personal choice or something to be ashamed of,” said Dr. Jerry Bubrick. “Getting help early is crucial in giving people the tools they need to feel better. We just need to start the conversation.” Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health challenge in the U.S. While anxiety disorders are highly treatable, only one-third of those suffering receive treatment. Everyone involved in the development of Angst has a personal experience with anxiety – from the producers to the interviewees. “The conversation surrounding mental health really hits home for me,” said Michael Phelps. “Many people don’t understand how debilitating mental illness truly can be, and even more than that, how common it is, yet people are afraid to have the serious discussions about it. I welcomed the opportunity to be a part of Angst to further the dialogue around mental health and to help people understand the impact anxiety has on our mental state and encourage people, especially kids, to ask for help.” You can contact the PTA at HealthandSafety@GardenCityPTA.org

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 18, 2018 at 8:00 p.m. The Board of Trustees has also scheduled additional meetings for November 1 and 15, 2018.

Kiosks

Department of Public Works personnel removed Village kiosks from the streets this week because they are unsightly and in a total state of disrepair. The only kiosk that remains is the kiosk at the Library. There currently isn’t any plan in place to replace them. If residents would still like to post items, please submit only one item to Village Hall and it will be posted in the kiosk at the Library upon approval of the Village Clerk, if room is available.

Tennis Center Heating System Replacement

At its September 20 Board meeting, Trustees increased the project amount to replace the heating system at the Tennis Center from $105,000 to $215,000, which includes a 10 percent contingency. This capital item, included in the budget for this fiscal year, will be bonded. Trustees awarded the bid to Dominion Construction Corp. for a cost of $194,622, subject to the 20 day estoppel period for the bond. “The original estimate just contemplated replacement of the gasfired unit but through good work of DPW engineers they looked at enhancing the system,” Recreation Director Kevin Ocker said. “The design eliminates the need for the duct sock. Rather, heated air will be forced into the center via high pressure jets; two 24-foot fans will be mounted to push the air slowly down.” Department of Public Works engineers reached out to a number of

tennis facilities around the country and this appears to be the best and most efficient way to heat a tennis center. This new system will also provide a much more comfortable atmosphere during winter play. This system is expected to save the Village approximately $18,000 annually in utilities.

Police cracking down on speed

With the commencement of the new school year, the Garden City Police Department is cracking down on speed violations, including school zones, aggressive driving violations, passed school bus violations and other moving violations. During the first three weeks of September, the Department issued 750 moving traffic violations, including: Tickets Issued Violation • 117 Excessive Speed • 81 Excessive Speed in a School Zone • 18 Cellphone/electronic device violations • 06 Seatbelt/Occupant Restraint violations • 10 Excessive Tint violations • 07 Passed Stopped School Bus violations • 19 Suspended Licenses • 03 Revoked Registrations • 50 Unlicensed Operation • 15 Unregistered Operation • 13 DWI offenses • 138 Other Aggressive Driving/ Point Related violations

Children and Family Service Grant

On behalf of the Recreation and Parks Department, Trustees accepted a $3,000 grant from the New York State Office of Children and Family Services. The grant is offered to municipalities to assist in running program and activities for children in Nassau County. Recreation Director Kevin Ocker noted the Department applies for the grant annually through the Town of Hempstead. The monies are to be used to offset expenses for the Recreation and Parks Department’s after school program, he said.

Joe McDonough, Anne Sullivan, Bill Whiting, Garrett Sern and Rob Reagan BY SARAH GANS Several past and present Garden City residents gathered at the Crest Hollow Country Club to pay tribute to Anne Sullivan on Wednesday September 26th, 2018. Anne was inducted into the Dr. James Tolle Nassau County High School Athletics Hall of Fame along with another notable Garden City coach, William “Doc” Dougherty. Also inducted was NFL great and former Sewanhaka athlete Vinny Testaverde and legendary broadcaster Bob Wolff.

Every athlete has at least one coach who has left an indelible impression on their lives. Anne Sullivan is undoubtedly that coach for many of us. Anne has been the head coach of the Garden City High School girls and boys swimming and diving teams for the last 23 years. Her career as the G.C. coach has led to a cumulative record of 190-15-1 for the girls team and 179-51-1 for the boys. From the years 2001-2012 the girls team was undefeated in dual meets. Also notably, the Garden City swimmers and divers have won the county title every year since 2000. Anne’s

Sarah Gans, Joe McDonough, Anne Sullivan, Danielle Tourdo, Tom McGerty knowledge of the sport of swimming is undeniable. A swimmer herself, Anne was a contender at the 1972 Olympic Trials in the 200-meter backstroke. At the induction ceremony Garden City’s former athletic director, Nancy Kalafus, was quoted saying, “Anne is quiet and unassuming, until she gets poolside. She motivates, teaches and cheers for the 5th or 7th place finisher as loudly and vigorously as she does the first place finisher.” Those of us who swam for Anne can attest to this statement. During the summer, you’ll likely see

Anne lifeguarding at the Garden City Pool. Some mornings during the early bird swim, you might find me standing poolside dreading the cold rush from diving in. From across the pool I’ll hear, “Let’s go Sarah. You’re procrastinating. Get in.” Once your coach, always your coach. I swam on many teams in my life, from USS teams to the NCAA, but I swam FOR Anne. We all swam FOR Anne. From all of your swimmers, past and present, thank you Anne for always pushing, always motivating, always teaching and always believing in us.

THE VIEW FROM HERE

Judge Kavanaugh BY BOB MORGAN, JR. A few thoughts about the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh. Obviously, it is extremely hard to know conclusively what happened 36 years ago when Judge Kavanaugh and his principal accuser, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, were in in high school. Frankly, absent a major revelation in the renewed FBI investigation this week, which seems unlikely, this is a matter likely to remain shrouded in mystery and controversy. As to matters brought up by Judge Kavanaugh’s other accusers, there is no corroboration of these accusations as well at this writing, and these accounts seem substantially less plausible than Dr. Ford’s. It is of course possible that, despite Judge Kavanaugh’s emphatic denials, Dr. Ford is accurately describing what happened. However, there are definitely other possibilities. Dr. Ford could, for example, simply be mistaken as to identity or other key details after all these years; she certainly is very shaky on many important specifics surrounding this event, like how she got home. Her memory could have been incorrectly “refreshed” in therapy. Although not particularly likely (Dr. Ford does seem sincerely convinced of her account), she could simply be a partisan trying to derail the nomination of a conservative judge. A judicial confirmation hearing is not a criminal or even a civil trial, but the nominee is nevertheless entitled to some basic fairness and due process. Uncorroborated allegations, no matter what the gender of the accuser, are not entitled to automatic belief, and this is particularly true after the passage of more than 30 years and when people in a position to back up the accuser are unable to do so. As we saw in the Duke University lacrosse team case, and in the allegations against University of Virginia fraternity members reported in Rolling Stone magazine, not every charge of assault is true. Again, it is possible that this investigation will take another unexpected turn. At this writing there is a focus on Judge Kavanaugh’s

college drinking habits, which the judge’s opponents are trying to tie to the assault allegations. It should be noted that there is no known evidence of recent alcohol abuse by Judge Kavanaugh and his drinking presumably was a subject explored by the FBI during his previous six background checks. To be clear, no one wants a judge appointed for life who is morally unfit for the job. On the other hand, there is also a cost to the tactics employed by Judge Kavanaugh’s opponents, which involved sitting on allegations from the distant past for weeks, not addressing them with the nominee either publicly or privately during the confirmation process, and then coming forward with sensational charges just as final votes are being scheduled. This certainly creates cynicism about the process and questions about good faith. It also may have the effect in the future of discouraging future qualified and honorable candidates, whether Republican or Democratic, from putting themselves forward. As to the politics of the confirmation vote, and again subject to the possibility of a major, verified negative revelation, Judge Kavanaugh probably still has a better than even chance of confirmation. The most obvious path is to get the votes of two of the three wavering GOP senators, Senators Jeff Flake of Arizona, Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowsky of Alaska. All three of these senators voted for President Trump’s first Supreme Court nominee, Judge Neil Gorsuch, although the votes are certainly not assured. If Judge Kavanaugh is a vote or two short, he still can hope to get support from at least two Democrats currently up for reelection in heavily red states easily carried by President Trump, Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota. Polling in each home state shows heavy support for Judge Kavanaugh. It is quite possible that one or both of these senators may not want to buck the voters. In any event, this rather tawdry drama is likely to be over shortly, thankfully.

Here is a rare post card from 1911 - one of the first to be delivered by air! During the last week of September in 1911, the International Aviation Meet was held at the Nassau Blvd. Airfield in the new community of Garden City Estates, begun in 1906. The airfield was located west of Nassau Blvd. and north of today’s Stratford Ave. on the barren plains. The airfield existed there only a few years, moving to the east of Clinton Road as did the Washington Avenue Airfield in 1912 to form the Hempstead Plains Airfield, then Hazelhurst Airfield and finally named Roosevelt Airfield in 1918.

Board Members of Garden City Friends of Music (FOM) hosted two special guests at their first organizational meeting Wednesday September 26th, 2018. Superintendent Dr. Kusum Sinha, and District Coordinator of Music and Art Dr. Nina Prasso joined the group in discussions about music and art. “We value the arts”, said Dr. Sinha, as she described how education in Music and the arts promotes creative thinking in students, which she believes gives them an advantage. Dr. Prasso enthusiastically discussed the District’s plans for music and art, and Co-Presidents Matt Wakeham and Tiffany Wakeham shared upcoming FOM events as well as changes to the Board. Treasurer Jonathan Watkins was thanked for his hard work and will be replaced by Nancy Davidson, who will now do double duty as she continues to be membership chair. Joe Owens will join the board as a music advisor, providing his knowledge as supervisor for fine and performing arts at Mineola School District. Joyce Turner is secretary and works with Board member Gail Madigan as editor of the FOM Newsletter. Kimberly Fetherston and Lauren Molloy are awards chairs, Barbara McElroy is immediate past president, and Trish Lynch is publicity chair. Matt and Tiffany Wakeham lead a discussion about the mission of FOM as not only a provider of resources, but as advocate in the community, promoting the importance of music and art education. The board members collaborated on ideas for future music and art awareness programs. The Board will explore a way to educate students about pursuing a future in music. “There are so many possible careers in music and the arts, especially with new advancements in technology”, said Tiffany Wakeham.

Troop 1322 at Disney World In September, Garden City Girl Scout Troop 1322 participated in an adventure of a lifetime. The troop, along with their families, visited Walt Disney World in Orlando Florida. The girls were able to explore all four theme parks throughout our stay. The troop participated in Disney’s Youth Education Series’ workshop entitled Managing Your Personal Brand at Hollywood Studios. This workshop highlighted self-awareness and the realization that each girl has to the power to improve their circumstances through the choices they make each day. Through insightful discussion and engaging activities, scouts came to realize that they already hold the power to form positive impressions, develop valuable skills and forge relation-

ships that can help them obtain their dreams. This power lies in the choices they make, and in the thoughtful management of their personal brand. This workshop correlates to the Journey, It’s Your World - Change It! Amaze! The Twists and Turns of Getting Along. Later that evening, the troop, along with all family members were treated to a dessert party in Epcot. Everyone enjoyed various desserts, while having a chance to interact with one another. After the dessert party, the troop watched the fireworks from their own private viewing area in France. The girl scouts used their cookie sale money to partially fund the dessert party. An amazing experience was shared by all!

Holiday celebrations continue at the Garden City Jewish Center On Wednesday, September 19th, the members of the Garden City Jewish Center marked the solemn holiday of Yom Kippur. There was also a Children’s Service held where the children learned about apologizing, seeking forgiveness and trying to do better in the coming year. They immediately performed the

mitzvah (good deed, or commandment) of getting ready for the very next holiday in the Jewish calendar, which is the harvest festival of Sukkot. They made all sorts of decorations to hang in the sukkah (traditional roofless booth), including strings of popcorn, paper chains, apples, carrots, and pictures of

Look! Another string of popcorn for the sukkah

fruit and vegetables. They then brought all of the decorations outside and did a wonderful job making this year’s sukkah the nicest one, ever! Regular sessions of the Sundays-only Religious school have commenced but there’s still time to enroll your children. The Garden City Jewish Center is a

warm and friendly Reform congregation where everyone is welcome – Jews of all denominations, dual-faith families, singles and students. Please go to www.gardencityjewishcenter.org for more information!

Daniel McCarthy to perform a musical comedy at GC Community Church BY MELVA VICTORINO

On Sunday, October 7th at 9:15– 10:15AM, Dan McCarthy will present his new musical comedy play E Pluribus Unum - From Many, One, in the Church Parlor of the Garden City Community Church (GCCC). Dan will be performing with Katherine Masters, Celia Petersen, and Karen Zalewski, whom he calls “the mighty women of God”. Dan wrote this play as a lighthearted attempt to share some of the joys he has attained since joining the GCCC. The play will address the multi-cultural values that make the world such a fractious, anxious and amazing place in the 21st century. Dan will draw musical tunes into a web of contradictions that make our world’s issues such as faith, politics, morality, utility, charity and purpose for being, into a humorous and cheerful original musical. The music will be a mixture of hymns as well as more contemporary and original music. When asked how he could infuse humor in a very serious topic, his reply was, “I find that I can touch others through music on the existence of God, the creator of our world, the collective subconscious, relationships, our role as custodians of our planet. There’s a need for everyone to express their views on the issues of today, mental, emotional and physical growth and health, the ego, pain and peace, as well as, why we are here and what the world we live in means to us. Man, that’s deep!” Dan has actively participated in the life of the church and has always been a music lover. He sings in the outstanding church choir and, this year, performed in the Garden City Community Theatre. His membership in the GCCC has also led to a greater interest in the teachings of Jesus Christ and spirituality. He finds inspiration in The Course in Miracles by Helen Shucman, as well as teachings and writings of

Daniel McCarthy to perform a musical comedy at Garden City Community Church Rumi, Buddha, Eckhart Tolle, Wayne Dyer, and Daniel Coyle. Dan has been working on E Pluribus Unum since mid-April in 2018. He is getting great joy from the project. Dan, along with his wife Lisa, and son, Timmy, has been a member of the GCCC for several years. He lives in Garden City and graduated from Garden City High School in 1984. Dan graduated from Michigan State University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in economics and political science in 1988. Celia Petersen will be the narrator as the play unfolds. She has been a member of GCCC since April, 1991. She has served twice on the Board of Deacons, taught Sunday school,

attended Family Camp and faithfully attended service. Celia is also a member of the Village of Garden City Architectural Design Review Board. Celia is now happily retired and lives in Garden City with her husband George and son Andrew. Karen Zalewski lives in Floral Park with her husband, Paul. She has been a member of the GCCC since 1993, serving on many Boards and the adult and the handbell choirs. She is a member of the Mineola Choral Society and the Garden City Community Theater. Katherine Masters has been singing since before she could walk and talk! Taking her dream all the way to the big college stage, she graduated from Adelphi University with a bach-

elor of science in vocal performance in 2015, and has recently acquired a masters degree in early childhood special education. She hopes to one day work with young children on the autism spectrum.

Rec Comm looks at membership data From page 1 that’s going to be challenging,” Ocker said at the Commission meeting. In the local pool facilities’ “trend report” compiled by Recreation and Parks’ staff, Great Neck was down in pool memberships overall by about 5%; the Village of Floral Park’s pool was down about 4, Valley Stream’s was down by close to 9% and others were nearly even year-over-year. Garden City Pool Director Steve Espey told the Commission when he called Valley Stream to find out its potential reasons for a drop, a $10 increase in family memberships’ cost was one item. Valley Stream officials told Espey they just appeared down for 2018 and that was inclusive of the school district families that do not live inside the Incorporated Village of Valley Stream but have the ability to join its pool season. Espey told the Commission that the Village of East Hills’ community pool is free to join (as part of municipal costs) but memberships are still down. “Nobody I spoke with can put their finger on a specific reason why area pool memberships have declined or stayed even. East Hills said they attribute the numbers to the rainy spring,” he said. Ocker says at a first glance, he can attribute these regional trends of declining memberships to a number of factors. Chief among them could be a shift in demographics as in particular in the East POA’s boundaries (property owners’ association) many young families have moved into Garden City in the last couple years. The new market of families was on the Rec. Commission’s radar with its marketing and social media efforts for driving pool memberships from 2016 to the present day. “I think the next thing we (Garden City Recreation and Parks) want to do is communicate directly with our previous pool members who did not join for the 2018 season, more than the two dozen we’ve called. That is a next step for us to see where the members went and what things have changed in their lives to impact the decision on not joining the village’s pool. We can see if that can help us in marketing for the 2019 season if we discover something -- is it demo-

graphic change, losing some our older pool members and not replacing them with younger families in Garden City at the same rate? We have work ahead of us,” Ocker said to the Commission members. In a letter to the editor published in The Garden City News on September 21, 2018, reader Eric Habben commented: “We have a long established pool facility in town that has not increased its membership substantially over the years, but does have the benefit of being outdoors and so is a welcome oasis on hot summer days.” Courtney said from the focus group of 11 pool members. “all regular attendees” she hosted at the season’s end, there were lots of positives noted and compliments on the pool being “the best deal around.” She said the week the pool remained open from Labor Day to the following weekend was really well-received and many kids went to the pool after school since it was so hot, including temperatures of around 95 degrees Thursday and Friday, September 6 and 7. Letters to the Editor in The Garden City News in September also provided positive reviews of the extra week of the 2018 pool season.

A Catch-22?

Courtney told her fellow Commission members there may be a Catch-22 to offering guest passes. “There was a lot of conversation on whether or not allowing Village of Garden City residents to use the guest passes to the pool has contributed to driving the total memberships down. I thought about ways we could monitor how many people who used guest passes were in fact village residents. With the guest books and passes we do not check ID’s; members show their pool cards. Focus group suggestions to help drive up memberships included either charging more to village residents or having a one-month-long membership fee, which would cost more than half a summer’s and close to three-quarters of the season rate,” she said. Espey said guest booklets were popular items when people consider who they would go to the pool with. Some residents would rather have their friends or relatives get their guest pass, for example coming

to the pool ten times a summer for $120 through guest pass usage instead of purchasing a 12-pass pack. “Some folks told us their friends buy the guest booklets and they will come to the pool using that pass only,” Espey told the Commission. Recreation and Parks Program Director Sandra Young said that guest passes can be a convenience as families with tweens see their children use the pool less. “They (families) might choose to join as a family of two and then buy guest books in case anyone else in the family wants to go on a particular day,” Young said. She added that several people who buy guest passes tell them family members keep busy schedules so memberships are difficult to utilize, but using a guest pass offers flexibility and once they are bought they can give some away “so they don’t go to waste.” Ocker said guest passes for the pool contribute a big revenue amount to the Pool Enterprise’s performance. He added that the consensus to date within Recreation and Parks management is that a one-month-only pool membership fee would be a high risk offering. “We’d never know if that would be making up a balance of the membership revenues by bringing in new people on the new category,” he said. Courtney says the focus group would like to provide the Rec. Commission its feedback in the middle of July rather than at summer’s end so there can be new ideas implemented and some quick-fixes addressed by Recreation and Parks as summer season 2019 continues. Ocker agreed with that notion. Espey said the September pool member focus group was effective because it provided relevant feedback from regular pool customers in a small setting. The End of the Year Pool Survey’s initial results were also reviewed by the Commission in September. The idea for follow up with those who participated includes an email blast with a link to join again for the 2019 season. “We are now in design phase for the pool improvement capital project which will be complete by the time we prepare to open for the 2019 season. The project involves important infrastructure needs such as See page 43

From page 42 replacing roofs, renovating the filter rooms, and the trench drain around the main pool. We will install direct air circulation into the restrooms through their ceilings so there will be more air in there. There will be new sockets and gutters installed and a better ramp for entrances to the adult pool and the ADA compliant gate, bringing us to code and adding to customer-friendliness. Designers are now wrapping up the specifications and we are going out to bid on the project soon,” Ocker said. Added ventilation for the restrooms was designed to pull air up through the ceilings and not going through wall openings. “That is tied into our new roofing and that’s a good thing so it can be done properly,” Ocker said. Formal action to approve a bid contract is expected at an upcoming Board of Trustees’ meeting, and Ocker advised the Rec. Commission that construction phases and installations such as in the filter room can be completed this winter since it’s mainly indoors, then roof work can be completed in spring.

New scoreboard planned for Comm Park From page 1 capital project renovation for baseball Field 2 that involves replacing the natural infield with a synthetic turf infield and a natural turf outfield, which would have a new drainage system included. New on-grade dugouts for Field 2 would be similar to those now on Field 3. Siragusa asked about the plans for backstop netting of Field 2 as there was an adjustment made for Field 3’s black netting once play began there, and he was assured that there will be proper nettings for Field 2 as work is completed. Light fixtures illuminating Field 2 will be changed to LED lighting, similar to that on the multipurpose field now, but the light poles holding them up will remain as-is. There will be taller netting installed to protect the outfield’s exterior as plans for the park include a new playground just outside of the field. With this project, Ocker reflected on the village’s completion of renovations and improvements for all of Community Park’s athletic playing fields starting with the outline delivered in the 20162020 Recreation Strategic Plan of capital investments.

reational complex on Stewart Avenue, Kevin Ocker told the Rec. Commission in September that “clearing at St. Paul’s worked out well.” He says there were pine trees sticking out and restricting the Recreation and Parks management from its plan of shifting village playing fields at the complex to the west, “by about 50 feet that we needed all the time.” “We were already able to shift a field and that immediately shifts one goal-mount out of play, creating much better situations. It also has allowed us to take out large sections of the fields to go into full renovation mode. We have talked to Garden City sports organizations and they are all on board, and we are committed to accommodating everybody. One way or another we are able to accommodate all the soccer and lacrosse demands. Now we need to address some non-field surface areas with some shrubs and where tree stumps were in the next several weeks,” Ocker said. Commission member Kristina Russo said in a September Estates property owners’ association meeting there was a question about the long-term plans for any additional fields at the St. Paul’s complex. Ocker says the goal was never to clear trees, plants and vegetation “to gain a whole playing field.” “We immediately surveyed the property to see if that was the case but adding another field would require some fields having their lines of play against the fence, that tight. This ability to shift the fields is a great benefit for us though. We already started the planning and that should help with meeting the demand,” he said. The Rec. Commission learned about the improvement of the most heavily-used restroom facility and comfort station in the Garden City Parks division: the St. Paul’s comfort station. While the Village Board of Trustees has held public meetings and information sessions on the grand plans for “The Centre at St. Paul’s” as an innovative sports, cultural and performance regional facility the most recent upgrade to the property involved addressing an important smaller public facility.

Bathroom upgrades

The Rec. Commission discussed the completion of the St. Paul’s comfort station building’s exterior upgrades including a sharp-looking new paint job. On July 20 the village’s “Garden City Update” stated that the comfort station exterior would be stained and re-painted as part of the Parks department’s operating maintenance plan. According to a description of the project published in mid-summer, the scope of work included “the installation of a new quarry tile floors and walls up to four feet, electric upgrades, new partitions, vandal resistant fixtures and accessories.”

Ocker detailed the interior upgrades ahead with this project on September 19. “We went out to bid once on this and the village had to reject the over-budget bids received. We have earmarked funding to renovate the comfort station and taken a second look as (village consultants) Cameron Engineering of Woodbury put together a different approach for the interior, in order for us to put this out to bid again. When it’s complete the building will be easier for us to maintain -- the proposal includes new fixtures and how they are mounted, renovating the station’s floor and tiles up the walls so it can be washed down and cleaned thoroughly,” Ocker said. He expects the specs to be completed and an advertisement for bids put out later this fall. The interior work is expected to be completed during the winter months.

St. Paul's concept plan

The latest developments in the master plan and conceptual uses for St. Paul’s former school building was another priority for the Board of Commissioners of Cultural and Recreational Affairs in September, with the Board of Trustees holding dedicated work sessions at both its September 20 and October 4 meetings. No questions from the public, including members of other village boards and commissions such as the Rec. Commission were part of the Board’s recent work sessions. The trustees’ Thursday October 4 work session, as outlined on the Board agenda published earlier in the week, stated the intent for a discussion on the “potential retention of The Sports Facilities Advisory Company to assist with gathering public input, preparing use and programming information and financial projections, potential retention of architects and structural engineers and construction management professionals as well as other matters related to continued development of the previously announced related St. Paul’s Concept Plan for creating a cultural and recreational based facility at the former St. Paul’s School.” Ocker advised his fellow members of the Rec. Commission last month, “once you retain a consultant they will bring you through the process similar to the way we do construction management with the help from Cameron Engineering, de Bruin or others. It is a good approach for the Board and it will help in answering questions that come up,” he said. The Rec. Commission was invited to listen at the recent work sessions and there could be subsequent meetings directly between consultants the village engages and the Commission as the St. Paul’s concept and strategic planning stages evolve.

Garden City School district GCHS alumna a part of a honors calendar cover artists Tony-winning team

Pictured here at the Board meeting with a large display of all finalists’ cover designs are (left to right): President Angela Heineman, PTA Calendar Coordinator Michelle Kaiserman, Emma Rubino, Anna Paisley, Hannah Hwang, Bridget Anderson, Amanda Melkonian, Emily Olenik, Alexandra Stefanik, District Coordinator of Music & the Arts Dr. Nina Prasso, and Superintendent of Schools Dr. Kusum Sinha. Each year, the district publishes a comprehensive Calendar and Parent Guide online and in print. This document is used by the entire school community: parents, district and school administrators, teachers, staff, and residents. Creating the document requires coordination of hundreds of events each year – a feat accomplished by a single point person – the past president of the GC PTA. As the immediate past president, Mrs. Michelle Kaiserman served as the PTA’s 2018-2019 calendar coordinator, managing the input of over 500 district and school events. Dates, times, locations, and event titles all needed to be checked, double-checked, and triple-checked. A daunting task, to be sure, but Mrs. Kaiserman did a wonderful job. Many thanks to the GC PTA and to Mrs. Kaiserman! One additional responsibility for Mrs. Kaiserman involved the most visible part of the annual calendar – the cover design. For the past five years, the annual

calendar has included a cover designed by a high school art student. In the spring of 2018, Garden City High School juniors in Mr. Shawn Uttendorfer’s art classes were presented with the opportunity to submit designs for the cover. Finalists’ designs selected by Mr. Uttendorfer were then forwarded to Mrs. Kaiserman to be anonymously uploaded to a website where voters – the Board of Education, PTA Executive Committee, and district and school administrators – were invited to view and select just one. This year, seven students’ designs were selected as finalists: Bridget Anderson, Hannah Hwang, Amanda Melkonian, Emily Olenik, Anna Paisley, Emma Rubino, and Alexandra Stefanik. The design by Emily Olenik received the highest number of online votes. These outstanding students were honored by Superintendent Dr. Sinha and the Board of Education at the September 12th Board of Education Regular Meeting.

Dazzling - that’s what the 90-plus concert-goers thought! On Sunday, Sept.ember 23rd, Vicki Mills gave a cabaret performance of “An American Songbook” at The Garden City Historical Society Museum on Eleventh Street. The 90-minute program included “Happy Days are Here Again” (Yellen & Ager), “Something” (George Harrison of The Beatles), selections from “Guys and Dolls,” “San Francisco” (a tribute to Tony Bennett), and many other songs. A Garden City resident, Vicki made a career on television starring in Name That Tune and performing in various nightclubs in the City. Vicki continues to perform locally. This event was part of the Historical Society’s continuing series of concerts “for a Sunday Afternoon.” Vicki performed with the Stuart Water Trio

(with Jerry Nobile on drums and Jerry McDonald on bass). It was sold-out, standing room only, and ended with a standing ovation. Afterwards, guests were treated to refreshments, while Vickie mingled with guests. After the show, guests were invited downstairs to the Exchange Consignment Shop, which supports The Garden City Historical Society. GCHS hold several events a year to help raise funds towards the preservation and restoration of the A.T. Stewart House, built in 1872.

tells the stories of many kids and teens who discuss their anxiety and its impacts on their lives and relationships, as well as how they’ve found solutions and hope. The film also includes a special interview with Michael Phelps, a mental health advocate and one of the greatest athletes of all time. In addition, the documentary provides discussions with mental health experts about the causes of anxiety and its sociological effects, along with the help, resources and tools available to address the condition. FREE TICKETS are now available and space is limited! Please visit https://www. smore.com/6q1w2-angst for more information and to reserve your seats. The screening will be held at the Stratford School auditorium on October 18th at

7PM. While Angst documents the struggles some people have with anxiety, it also reveals their hope for the future. Noah, a teenager in the film, describes it this way: “Anxiety doesn’t define me. It’s not just a curse; it also gives me strength.” “Everybody needs to know that anxiety disorders are real, common and treatable instead of viewing them as a personal choice or something to be ashamed of,” said Dr. Jerry Bubrick. “Getting help early is crucial in giving people the tools they need to feel better. We just need to start the conversation.” Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health challenge in the U.S. While anxiety disorders are highly treatable, only one-third of those suffering

receive treatment. Everyone involved in the development of Angst has a personal experience with anxiety – from the producers to the interviewees. “The conversation surrounding mental health really hits home for me,” said Michael Phelps. “Many people don’t understand how debilitating mental illness truly can be, and even more than that, how common it is, yet people are afraid to have the serious discussions about it. I welcomed the opportunity to be a part of Angst to further the dialogue around mental health and to help people understand the impact anxiety has on our mental state and encourage people, especially kids, to ask for help.” You can contact the PTA at HealthandSafety@GardenCityPTA.org

Dazzling concert at Garden City Historical Society

Friday, October 5, 2018 The Garden City News

Presentation: Teaching students to act with dignity & respect”

Mr. David Flood introduced himself to high school students as they assembled for his presentation.

“Loneliness is toxic”; “When you don’t talk out; you act out”; “Look on the inside, not at the outside”; “love.” – These were just a few of the heartfelt messages speaker David Flood shared with his audiences in Garden City on September 25th. His videos have been viewed over 60 million times; he has spoken to over 300,000 students in 28 different U.S. states, Canada, and soon in Germany - David Flood has shared his family’s very personal story and his universal message to all who are willing to listen. Students in Garden City’s High School and Middle School were privileged to hear Mr. Flood’s message during the day, and parents during the night: act with dignity and respect. You can’t tell by looking at someone what struggles they are going through. Mr. Flood’s stories centered around the social and emotional challenges his family has faced as their two children – one typical and one atypical - grew and progressed through school and life. Mr. Flood explained how his teenage high-functioning autistic son struggled with loneliness, and, as a parent, how difficult it was to hear about the isolation his son felt in a school of over 2,000 students and 200 faculty. In one espe-

cially memorable story, he explained how his son took up rec league ice hockey and, in the last moments of the last game of the season, how members of his own and the opposing team set up a play so his son could score his first goal. These were the kids, he said, not the coaches. He then held up the puck from that game and that goal for the audience to see – a puck he has kept in his back pocket ever since. During the course of his presentation to the students, Mr. Flood challenged them to do three things: “Look inside”; thank two adults for keeping them [students] safe in school; and to let no one eat alone. Each challenge was explained through new stories: about prom, visits to the assistant principal’s office, and resiliency. Powerful insights into how little kindnesses can and do make a lasting and life-changing difference, not only for the person receiving the thoughtfulness, but for the giver, and all who witness the interaction. Many thanks to David Flood for sharing his stories with our students and parents, and to GC’s SEPTA for bringing this amazing speaker to Garden City! For more information, please visit: http://davidjflood.com/.

Mr. Flood asked high school students to turn and share with their neighbors: “When I look at you, I see...”

Flood shared important messages of hope through stories about his own family.

September is a time of new beginnings for school-age children and those new beginnings were happy ones at the Garden City Nursery School as the 2018-2019 school year began. The freshfaced preschoolers were so excited to play and explore on the playground and in the classroom with friends old and new. Returning parents chatted with

one another and caught up after the summer vacation and new parents were introduced to the welcoming and open culture of the school. As one parent put it, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think I might be even happier than my son- I missed my friends from school, too!â&#x20AC;? The school year is definitely off to a good start!

Garden City students march in Steuben Day Parade BY KIRSTEN SCHIFFER, WORLD LANGUAGE TEACHER On Saturday, September 15th, Garden City Middle School German language students marched in the 61st Annual German-American Steuben Day Parade in New York City. The students marched along 5th Avenue from 70th to 85th Street along with their teacher, Frau Schiffer, as well teacher chaperone Señora Porter and parent chaperone Mr. DeAlbequerque. The parade was named after Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben, a Prussian-born General who served under General George Washington in the American Revolutionary War. It is held every year on the third Saturday in September. The Steuben Day Parade was founded in 1957 by German-American immigrants who wanted to keep the traditions of

their homeland alive. This year marked the 61st annual celebration of the great achievements of German, Austrian, and Swiss immigrants in the United States and has grown into the largest event of its kind in the U.S. Each year, the Parade honors one or more Grand Marshals who are either American citizens with a German background or German citizens with a distinct relationship to America. This year’s Grand Marshals were Peter Beyer, member of the German Bundestag, and Mr. Helmut Jahn, CEO of Jahn Architects. After the parade, the Garden City students and their chaperones enjoyed gelato outside the Guggenheim Museum and visited the Ancient Playground in Central Park. It was, in a word – wunderbar!

Garrett Zander with some of the Dominican Republic players Garrett Zander, a senior and varsity baseball player at Garden City High School, joined the non-profit Homerun Hopefuls organization during his freshman year. Founded in 2003, Homerun Hopefuls’ mission is to transform young lives in the Dominican Republic by promoting community and learning, not only through the lessons of baseball that their donated equipment facilitates, but also through support of continued schooling and education, which

together can unlock the aspirations of young ballplayers every year. While Garrett recently made his third consecutive annual week-long summer trip to the Dominican Republic with his Homerun Hopefuls’ colleagues, his contributions to the organization require a year-long effort. Each year, Garrett spends the winter and spring seasons communicating the mission of Homerun Hopefuls throughout the Garden City community with the objective of collect-

ing used baseball equipment, uniforms, t-shirts, hats, and cleats. The GC community continues to answer the call with significant contributions of equipment, uniforms and cash donations, led by the GCAA Baseball/Softball Association and its member families. In the summer, he coordinates with his colleagues to organize and pack the donations and have them shipped ahead of time to the Dominican Republic. Along with a small group of volunteers from across the tri-state area, Garrett traveled to the Dominican Republic in August this year for the purpose of personally delivering the collected equipment to twelve different communities which included 30 baseball leagues across the Dominican Republic. One of the most rewarding trips this year was to an orphanage where Garrett and his team played soccer, baseball and basketball and enjoyed a meal with the 40 boys who are housed there. Garrett and his Homerun Hopefuls team participate in ceremonies at each of the villages they visit, where they deliver speeches in Spanish to the groups of community leaders, young ballplayers and their families. The message, under a true “kids helping kids” philosophy, was one of support for continuing education and applying the same commitment and love for baseball to the pursuit of learning and building self-esteem. They play baseball games with the boys while experiencing their shared love of the game of baseball. Many of the villages conduct a prayer ceremony to show their appreciation for the donations and support that Homerun Hopefuls provided. In previous years, Garrett has met Hall of Fame baseball legend Vladimir Guerrero, who joined with the Homerun

Hopefuls team in his hometown to deliver equipment and inspire the boys with his message of positivity and hope, as well as visiting the New York Yankees scouting facility, where he learned about the myriad challenges that young Dominican baseball prospects face as they prepare for professional baseball careers. Garrett remarked “ While I have learned a great deal over the past three years about the obstacles that these young boys and their families face every single day, I continue to be amazed by their spirit, compassion and sense of community. Every time I hand out a piece of equipment or speak to a group, I can see the impact in their eyes, and I know that it is made possible by all of the people who contributed to our Homerun Hopefuls drives.” Brett Kalikow, the founder of Homerun Hopefuls, said “Homerun Hopefuls has always operated under a kid-helping-kids philosophy. I am so grateful to Garrett for pursuing his love of baseball not only as an athlete, but also as a means to help others who are less fortunate. For three years, Garrett has shown tremendous leadership in rallying the Garden City community to conduct some of the most generous collection drives Homerun Hopefuls has ever had.” Garrett would like to thank all of the Garden City families who contributed equipment and donations, with a special thanks to GCAA Baseball president Joe Griffin and all of the GCAA baseball and softball directors, coordinators and coaches who supported the equipment drive. He will be continuing his work again this upcoming year with Homerun Hopefuls and all donations are welcome. To learn more, log onto their website at www.homerunhopefuls.org.

Ski Titans’ Epic, Ikon Season Passes Battle for Skier Loyalty BY KAREN RUBIN TRAVEL FEATURES SYNDICATE GOINGPLACESFARANDNEAR.COM The leaves have hardly started to fall here in the Northeast, let alone the first snowflakes, but eager skiers need to start planning for the upcoming season. Fall is the battle of the season passes, made much more interesting with the consolidation of ski resorts around two major titans: Vail Resorts and Alterra Mountain Company, a new company that emerged from the merger of Aspen Ski Company and KSL and a buying spree of a slew of other major resorts. Both have done something extremely smart: they have burst out of the Rockies to acquire New England’s prime ski resorts – Vail acquiring Stowe and Okemo in Vermont, Alterra acquiring Stratton and forming a partnership with Powdr’s Killington, making their season passes that much more usable, and therefore more valuable for Eastern skiers. What is more, it creates an incentive to include a long-haul ski vacation during the season. Both passes even include access to international resorts - Epic Pass has offerings in Canada, Australia, Japan, France, Switzerland, Italy, and Austria and Ikon encompasses resorts in

We celebrate the vision and tenacity of Columbus BY CLAIRE LYNCH

Columbus Day is on October 8 this year and the 74th Annual Columbus Day Parade will be held in New York City. It starts at 11:30 a.m. Guy Chiarello, who is the President of First Data Corporation, a global leader in Financial Services, is the Grand Marshal of the 74th Columbus Day Parade. Chiarello has been the President of First Data since 2013, where he oversees the business and technology solutions created for First Data’s clients. First Data is at the center of the global payments ecosystem, driving commerce every day by powering more than 3,000 transactions per second and $1.9 trillion in annual transactions. Chiarello has been at the forefront of banking, technology and innovation for more than 30 years. He has led product development and technology for three

Fortune 500 companies, advised some of the biggest names in Silicon Valley and Wall Street, and is recognized around the world among the most prominent technology leaders in the industry. Chiarello was the Chief Information Officer at JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Stanley before joining First Data Corp. The annual Columbus Day Parade is the largest celebration of ItalianAmerican heritage and culture in the U.S. As Grand Marshal, Guy Chiarello will lead dozens of marching bands and floats and more than 100 marching groups up the Fifth Avenue parade route which runs from 44th Street to 72nd Street. The Columbus Day Parade in New York City is organized annually by the Columbus Citizens Foundation. Christopher Columbus had many sides to him. He was Italian, born Cristoforo Colombo but he sailed for Spain. He was born in 1451 in Genoa and died in May 1506 in Valladolid,

Spain. There aren’t any pictures of Christopher Columbus but there are descriptions. The Admiral was “of good stature and appearance, taller than the average and strongly limbed: the eyes lively and other parts of the face of good proportion, the hair very red, and the face somewhat ruddy and freckled ....” long visaged with cheeks somewhat high, but neither fat nor thin. He had an aquiline nose and his eyes were light in color; his complexion too was light, but kindling to a vivid red. In youth his hair was blond, but when he came to his thirtieth year it all turned white.” This was a description by his son, Ferdinand. Columbus’ second son Ferdinand should certainly be regarded as a reliable source since he traveled constantly with his father between the ages of 12 and 18, according to the web site christopher-columbus.eu. His home town was Genoa which

is located on the northwestern side of Italy near France. Located south of Milan and east of Nice, France, Genoa is a port city that for centuries has played a central role in maritime trade. Although he was confused on much of the geography, Columbus was an expert sailor, navigator and leader, according to Martin Dugard in his 2005 book, “The Last Voyage of Columbus.” After crossing the Atlantic in search of the fabled East Indies, which was a difficult task at that time, he landed on the island of Hispaniola which is now Haiti and the Dominican Republic instead of Japan or some other part of Southeast Asia as he had planned. Columbus wasn’t the first explorer to discover the Americas but he was the first to stay. His discovery helped expand the European empire of the time. A New World certainly was See page D6

Y O U R S O C I A L S E C U R I T Y

Attaining Your Age BY TOM MARGENAU

A few weeks ago, I wrote a column in which I casually mentioned the obscure common law (not a Social Security law) that says that you actually attain your age on the day before your birthdate. For example, I will celebrate my 70th birthday on June 22, 2019. But legally, I will turn age 70 on June 21. I said that from a Social Security perspective, that law usually doesn’t mean anything unless you were born on the first day of the month. For those lucky people, it can mean an extra Social Security check. For example, if you want your Social Security checks to begin at age 66, and your 66th birthday is Oct. 1, you legally attain age 66 on Sept. 30, meaning your first Social Security check will be for September, not October. Well, that little throwaway point has led to lots of questions from readers. I hope answering them will help clarify the rules. Q: I was intrigued by your column about being born on the 1st. I will turn 66 on Dec. 1, 2018. When I file for benefits, do I have to tell them that I want my benefits to begin in November? Let me put that another way. Had I never read your column, I would have known nothing about that odd little law. Would I have missed out on one month’s Social Security check because of that? A: No, you (and everyone else born on the 1st of the month) will be just fine. All you have to do is tell the Social Security Administration that you want your benefits to begin at whatever age you want them to begin -- in your case, age 66. SSA’s computers will automatically know that you legally turn 66 on Nov. 30, and you will get your first check for November. Q: In a recent column, you said that someone born on Sept. 1 would get a check in August. But I think you are wrong. Because Social Security checks are always a month behind, that August check won’t be paid until September. So I still don’t see the advantage to being born on the 1st. A: Well, you are right -- and wrong. I will explain. If you look back at that column, you will see that I worded my explanation very carefully to say that someone born on Sept. 1 would get a check “for August,” not “in August.” You correctly pointed out that the August check is paid in September. Without that little quirk in the law, someone turning 66 on Sept. 1 would normally get his or her first check, the September check, in October. But again, that law does exist. So there still is a one-month Social Security check advantage to being born on the 1st. Q: You said that someone turning

age 66 on the first day of the month can get benefits for the prior month. But does that same rule apply to those of us whose full retirement age is not 66? For example, I was born on May 1, 1956. My full retirement age is 66 and 4 months. So I will be 66 and 4 months on Sept. 1, 2022. Does the law mean that I will actually reach my full retirement age on Aug. 31, 2022? A: Yes, that’s what the law means. So if you want your benefits to begin at your full retirement age, that’s what you will tell SSA. And their computers will automatically figure out that you will reach that age on Aug. 31, 2022. Q: That was an interesting point you made about being born on the 1st. But I recall a column you wrote years ago in which you said there was some significance to being born on the 2nd. I was born on Nov. 2, 1952 and started my benefits last year. I don’t remember being offered any advantage because of my birthday. A: There is a very limited advantage for some people born on the second day of the month. And it generally only applies to folks who start their benefits at age 62. To explain, I’ve got to go back 35 years. In the early 1980s, Congress was looking for ways to cut back on Social Security spending. One of the plans they came up with was fairly obscure. They passed a law saying that if you took your Social Security benefits at age 62, you had to be 62 for every day of the month before you could get your first check. (The law doesn’t apply to any other age but 62.) And now here is how the “born on the 2nd” issue comes into play. Normally, if you are born on any day other than the 1st, you would not be 62 for each day of the month. So you would have to wait until the following month to get your first check. But because of that quirky law we’ve been talking about, people born on the 2nd legally attain their age on the 1st. So, for example, if Mary wants benefits to start at 62 and she turns 62 on Oct. 2, 2018, she can get a Social Security check for October because she is legally 62 on Oct. 1, meaning she is 62 every day of the month. On the other hand, if her husband, Bill, is 62 on Oct. 3, he would have to wait until November before he would be eligible for benefits. Some people may wonder what would happen if Mary was born on Oct. 1. The answer is there would be no change. She would legally turn 62 on Sept. 30. But October would still be the first month she would be 62 for the entire month, so October would still be her eligibility date. Q: Your story about getting an extra month’s worth of benefits if

If so, then could my wife get a widow’s benefit for November? A: That’s a very interesting question. But I think you are stretching the point a little too far. I went online and checked

this common law. And it’s all about legally attaining your age on the day before your birthdate, not attaining your death on the day before you actually die. If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has the answer. Contact him at thomas.margenau@comcast.net. COPYRIGHT 2018 CREATORS.COM

opened up. People started trading plants, food, cultures and more. He put together a plan to seek a western sea passage to the East Indies, hoping to profit from the lucrative spice trade. There were some spices in Europe before Columbus set sail but they were hard to get and very expensive. Pepper, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg were highly desired. Spices were an important part of ancient commerce well before the 15th-century but they were monopolized for centuries by Middle Eastern and North African middlemen who guarded their valuable Asian commodity closely. Back then, the colorful grains were used for flavoring food and also for such tasks as making perfume, preserving meat and sprucing up salve recipes in traditional medicine, according to livescience.com. Without access to eastern sources or the power to contest exorbitant prices, Europe had a hard time getting the various spices. At one point in the 1300s, when tariffs were at their highest, a pound of nutmeg in Europe was a more valuable commodity than gold. The members of the aristocracy found it hard to afford their shipments of peppercorn and clove. So by the 1400s, when navigational equipment had improved to the point that longhaul sailing became possible, the kings and queens of Europe set out to change the balance of world trade by funding spice-hunting missions of their own. Christopher Columbus was the first to set out for the East Indies hoping to bring back cargoes full of silks as well as spices. He tried and tried to get funding for his voyage and finally was successful in persuading Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand of Spain to support him. Queen Isabella reigned in Spain from 1474 until her death in 1504. She saw herself as a Spaniard but she was half-Portuguese, and it was the Portuguese who were adventurous world explorers going around the coast of Africa to India. She inherited that desire for overseas exploration and travel from her Portuguese mother. One of her relatives was Henry the Navigator, prince of Portugal, according to Jennifer Hunter (thestar.com, 2015). Henry the Navigator was a prince not a sailor or a navigator but he sponsored important voyages. Under his patronage, Portuguese crews founded the country’s first colonies and visited regions previously unknown to Europeans. During Prince Henry’s time and

after the Portuguese navigators discovered and perfected the North Atlantic “turn of the sea” which was the dependable pattern of trade winds blowing largely from the east near the equator and the returning westerlies in the mid-Atlantic. This was a major step in the history of navigation when an understanding of oceanic wind patterns was crucial to Atlantic navigation from Africa and the open ocean to Europe. It enabled the main route between the New World and Europe in the North Atlantic in future voyages of discovery. Both King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella took a risk in supporting Columbus. They believed that a shorter route to Asia existed. Spain had a strong interest in trading with Asia. If they could discover a shorter route to Asia, it would give Spain an advantage in trading with Asia.

It was also possible that Columbus might discover places that were rich in minerals and resources. Before heading west, Christopher Columbus gathered his crews, his boats and his provisions. Then he worked under tough circumstances. He had three ships on his first voyage, the Niña, the Pinta and the Santa Maria. Columbus took off from Palos de la Frontera a half hour before sunrise on August 3, 1492. His flagship, the Santa Maria had 52 men aboard while his other two ships, the Nina and Pinta each had a crew of 18 men. (christophercolumbus.eu) The Santa Maria was the largest of the three boats and was not able to go near the coastline. The Santa Maria carried a lot of cargo, however, and it was able to stand up well in bad weather. The Nina and the Pinta were caravels and did not have much cargo space but they were able to explore shallow bays and the mouths of rivers. The crew members on the caravels slept on the deck and would go below only if the weather was bad. The crew was gathered by Martín Alonso Pinzón who was the captain of

the Pinta. They were experienced seamen and four of them had taken an offer from the Spanish throne for amnesty from prison if they took the voyage. Many of these sailors were from the nearby towns of Lepe and Moguer.

The Santa Maria was about 117 feet long. We know that he sailed the Atlantic and reached the Americas on October 12, 1492, under the sponsorship of the Spanish kingdom of Castile.

Facts About Columbus Day* • Christopher Columbus began sailing when he was only 15 years old. • When he set sail for the expedition, he was given three ships by the city of Palos. • He set sail in August of 1492. It was 35 days before a sailor spotted land. The names of the three ships were the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria. His crew consisted of 90 men. • The goal of the expedition was to chart a western sea route to India and China, as well as to the islands in Asia with spices and gold. • When Christopher Columbus landed in the Bahamas in 1492, he was the first European since the 10th century to have the opportunity to explore the Americas. • The Santa Maria did not make the return trip to Spain because it ran aground on Christmas Day. Forty men had to stay behind because there was no room on the other two ships. They stayed behind on the island of Hispaniola. • Christopher Columbus made four different voyages to the New World. • He died when he was 55, in 1506, only two years after his last trip to the New World. • The first federal observance of Columbus Day, by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, was on Oct. 12, 1937. • In 1971, the date October 12th no longer marked the holiday. It was changed to the second Monday in October. • Colorado was the first state to make Columbus Day an official, legal holiday, and Denver still holds one of the largest Columbus Day parades each year. • In Latin America they call this day Día de la Raza; in the Bahamas they call it Discovery Day; in Spain they call it Fiesta Nacional and Día de la Hispanidad; in Argentina they call it Día del Respeto a la Diversidad Cultural; and in Belize and in Uruguay they call it Day of the Americas. • In Puerto Rico, Columbus Day is celebrated along with Puerto Rico Friendship Day. • In the Commonwealth of Virginia, Columbus Day is celebrated along with Yorktown Victory Day. • Upon arriving in the Americas, Columbus introduced a variety of previously unseen items including wheat, barley, rye, sugar, bananas, citrus fruits and horses. The horses that Columbus introduced into the New World later spread to the mainland and became essential to the Plains Indians. • Most educated Europeans during Columbus’ time understood that the world was round but they didn’t yet know about the existence of the Pacific Ocean. * softschools.com

Over several days, ships of Columbus’ day would average a little less than 4 knots. The top speed for the vessels was about 8 knots. These speeds were quite typical for vessels of the period. So overall, 90 or 100 miles in a day would be typical. Of the three ships on the first voyage, the Santa Maria was the slowest and the Pinta was the fastest. No one knows exactly what Columbus’ Santa Maria was like. We can examine similar ships of the era. It was a nao, which simply means “ship” in old Spanish. It was a merchant ship, between 200-600 tons, that was designed for carrying cargo. It was a slow boat.

To quote historian Edmund Morgan, “Columbus was not a scholarly man. Yet he studied these books, made hundreds of marginal notations in them and came out with ideas about the world that were characteristically simple and strong and sometimes wrong …” (coursehero.com) Christopher Columbus died on May 20, 1506. Although he was off in his calculations as to which country was where, Columbus was a visionary of his time for believing that other lands were out there and for having the courage and the perseverance to go find them. Happy Columbus Day to all!

An Education of the Heart and Mind at Kellenberg Memorial High School

Established in 1987, Kellenberg Memorial High School has quickly grown to become one of the most prominent Catholic high schools on Long Island. Providing an unparalleled Catholic education of the mind and the heart in the Marianist tradition, all housed on an exquisite 20-acre campus, Kellenberg Memorial High School truly lives up to its mission of providing, “a beautiful place to grow.” Kellenberg Memorial’s unique atmosphere helps to cultivate students’ intellectual pursuits as well as their faith lives. The ever-evolving liberal arts curriculum has been carefully crafted to strike a healthy balance among disciplines. Each student and faculty member has an iPad, which provides access to innumerable reference materials, organizational tools, and content area applications. STEM learning opportunities abound with a variety of clubs and activities for those wishing to deepen their knowledge within the areas of science, technology, engineering, and math. Dedication to the core values of “Civility, Order, and Respect” (COR) is paramount, as is the development of strong study and time management skills. Principal Brother Kenneth Hoagland, S.M., says, “I have always found that students who are most involved are most successful academically. Students who are engaged in after-school activities have a limited amount of time to get their homework done, and therefore use their time most efficiently with regards to completing assignments. Time management skills are essential for success in higher education and all other future life experiences.” Focusing on the development of the whole person, a strong emphasis is placed on the formation and growth of faith in each and every Kellenberg Memorial student. Through daily prayer, personal reflection, monthly mass, school-wide prayer services, divisional retreats, Advent and Lenten Missions, as well as a wealth of extra-curricular activities centered around community service and personal sacrifice, students are invited to experience their faith on a deeper level and incorporate that faith into their daily lives. Assistant Principal for Activities Brother Roger Poletti, S.M., adds, “Kellenberg is an arena where you are not called to just witness the faith, but to embrace it by using the God-given skills you have developed to enrich the lives of our fellow students and our surrounding communities.” With over 80 athletic teams, 27 sports, and over 90 activities, Kellenberg Memorial truly lives up to its nickname as “The School That Never Sleeps.” The

Lourdes Rohan (Yale University ’22), Kellenberg Memorial’s Class of 2018 Valedictorian, delivers her address at the 31st Commencement Exercises. wide range of activities and athletic opportunities offer something to pique almost any interest. 92% of Kellenberg Memorial students in grades 6 through 12 are involved with at least one sport or activity. For sports in which the demand is very great, freshman, junior varsity, and varsity level teams have been created in order to allow for maximum participation and enthusiasm. Mr. Kenneth Conrade the Assistant Principal for Academics explains the importance of the marriage of academics with extracurricular involvement, saying, “Extracurricular activities and sports challenge the students to learn about themselves and the world around them. New talents, modes of operating, and social interactions are discovered through such participation. While the classroom is primarily instructional, the after-school world should be exploratory and challenging in its own way. It might be best said that students should learn to be ‘comfortable with being uncomfortable’ as they learn to broaden their personalities, talents, and experience levels.” Each June Kellenberg Memorial graduates a new class of students who move onto top colleges and universities. However, it is certainly not the end of their Kellenberg connection, but, instead, a new beginning in a growing relationship with their alma mater. All graduates automatically become members of the Kellenberg Memorial Alumni Association. The Alumni Association provides opportunities for all Kellenberg Memorial alumni to maintain contact with each other and the school. This is done through the biannual distribution of Heart & Mind, the Kellenberg Memorial family magazine, as well as the organization of reunions and various

socials to appeal to a wide audience of alumni. Kellenberg Memorial’s alumni community gives back to the school in many ways to ensure that the students of today, as well as future students, receive the same quality education of the heart and mind that has propelled them forward to success in their own professional and personal lives. Along with philanthropic support, members of the alumni community frequently return to campus to take part in educational programming for current students, such as Junior Career Night and the STEM Talk Series. Omar Syed, M.D., FAANS ’97 is an accomplished neurosurgeon who carves time out his busy schedule annually to return to campus to discuss the field of

medicine with juniors at Career Night. He explains why he feels it is important to give back to today’s students, saying, “The well-rounded education I received at Kellenberg provided me with what I needed to succeed, both professionally and socially, in college, medical school, and during my neurosurgical career. It is important for today’s students to know that they have the tools needed to succeed in an increasingly competitive environment. The foundation they receive in Kellenberg Memorial is truly an excellent one. I have always looked back fondly on my years there.” Recent graduate Lourdes Rohan ’18 echoes Dr. Syed’s appreciation for the Marianist high school education they received, saying, “For me, Kellenberg Memorial was an environment in which I could always grow in faith and knowledge. I was also encouraged to pursue my interests inside and outside of the classroom. It is because of this support and encouragement I received from peers and faculty that I was able to identify my passions, which I’ve chosen to pursue in college.” To learn more about the unique benefits of an education of the heart and mind at Kellenberg Memorial, please visit the school’s Open House on Saturday, October 13, 2018.

Navigating tech choices for school use

Technology is essential in the daily lives of students. Whether it’s kids learning their ABC’s or graduate students pursuing advanced degrees, technology has transformed the way lessons are taught and learned.

they may be lacking the processing pop unless consumers are willing to pay more for laptops with high performance. Another shortcoming of laptops is that they generally have smaller screens than desktop computers, which can make working on fine details more challenging.

Statistics support the notion that technology in the classroom is irreplaceable. According to data from the tutoring resource PracTutor, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt and various colleges, 98 percent of schools have one or more computers in the classroom. In addition, 77 percent of teachers use the internet for instruction, while 40 percent of teachers report students use computers during instructional time in the classroom. Many instructors now assign homework that must be completed online. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development looked at computer usage among 15-year-olds across 31 nations and regions. Many students in high-performing nations reported spending between one and two hours a day on a computer outside of school. Because computers are so necessary in and out of the classroom, families and students may want to revisit their options before buying new devices. Desktop computer Desktop computers used to be the go-to for families and students, and there

Tablets Tablets offer the most in terms of portability. They’re lightweight and small and offer a wealth of access in a compact package. Today’s tablets offer much more than the first such devices to hit the market. Some can run apps and equivalent programs that were once exclusive to desktop and laptop computers. Tablets also tend to be less expensive than desktops or laptops. are still many reasons why desktops make sense. In addition to their relatively inexpensive sticker price, desktop computers allow students to customize their packages according to their needs and get a powerful operating system in the process. New and advanced processing speeds also mean that many desktop computers can be relied on for educational purposes while also being fast enough to handle recreational gaming. One of the main disadvantages of desktop computers is their lack of porta-

bility. Desktops are not easily moved, and if repairs are necessary, it can be a hassle to have them fixed. Laptop computers Over the last decade, laptop computers have become more popular than desktop computers, largely because of their portability. Laptops are designed to be taken from place to place, so students can use them for note-taking in the classroom and then studying at home. Although laptop processors have just about caught up to desktop processors,

Where tablets may fall short is in the peripherals. It’s difficult to connect backup drives and other accessories to tablets. However, with advancements in cloudbased storage, this may not be an issue. Also, note-taking on virtual keyboards may be more challenging, and working on tablets’ small screens can be tiresome over time. Convertible tablet/laptops are now emerging to bridge these gaps. Shopping for a new computer can be complicated, but basing purchases on need rather than want can help guide the process.

3 tips to finding the right graduate program Graduate school allows college graduates the chance to intensify their studies as they pursue advanced degrees. Many professions require advanced degrees, but students may enroll in graduate school for various reasons, including their own intellectual curiosity and the chance to improve their earning potential. Choosing a graduate program is an important decision that can impact students’ career prospects and financial futures. According to Peterson’s Real Guide to Colleges and Universities, the average annual tuition for a graduate program at a public university is $30,000, while graduate students at private universities can expect to pay nearly $40,000 each year. Such figures illustrate just how important it is for prospective graduate students to find the right schools for them. 1. Conduct exhaustive research. Because the cost of graduate school is so substantial, students should be extra diligent when researching potential grad schools. Gather as much information about each school as possible, even contacting department heads and/or professors to learn if a given program is best for you. Graduate programs tend to be specialized, so make sure each school

you’re considering offers exactly what you’re seeking. For example, graduate programs in history may specialize in a particular period of history. As a result, students who want to pursue graduate degrees in history must find the program that allows them to study the period that most interests them. Finding such programs requires extensive research, so students must afford themselves ample time. 2. Speak to current students and recent graduates. Current students and recent graduates can provide a unique perspective that prospective grad students won’t get from brochures or online research, no matter how exhaustive that research might be. Encourage students and recent grads to be candid, asking them about their experiences as grad students and, for recent grads, how they fared in the job market after earning their degrees. Don’t discount the latter, as grad school is an investment of time, energy and money, and that should lead to professional fulfillment upon graduating. 3. Be realistic about your finances. While many people enroll in gradu-

ate programs to improve their earning potential, some students may not enjoy that benefit. The cost of grad school varies depending on the school and the program, but prospective grad students may want to change their plans if the cost of obtaining an advanced degree will greatly affect their financial freedom for years to come. Students worried about their postgrad school earning potential may want

DID YOU KNOW?

to choose less expensive programs so they can still pursue their degrees without mortgaging their financial futures. Graduate school requires a substantial investment of time, energy and money. Prospective grad students should do everything possible to ensure they invest in the grad school that best suits their particular needs.

According to an Experian College Graduate Survey conducted in 2016, 58 percent of soon-to-be graduates acknowledged they had a credit card, and 30 percent admitted they had credit card debt. The average debt of the respondents was more than $2,500, a substantial sum considering that much of it is likely consumer debt, and not the so-called “good debt” like car loans or mortgage payments that can help young people establish their credit histories. A report from the Institute of College Access and Success indicated that the average member of the college class of 2015 graduated with $30,100 in student loan debt. Student loans are often repaid over many years, with some repayment schedules extending more than a decade. In addition, as long as students make their payments on time and in full, the amount of interest they will pay if their loans come with fixed rates will remain the same. Students’ credit card debt is not the same, and students who can only afford to pay the minimum payments each month will see the amount of interest they’re paying grow considerably until the balance is completely paid off. That’s one reason why students must learn the difference between consumer debt and student loan debt and how accumulating the former is far more detrimental to students’ financial futures than accruing the latter.

How to save on college housing costs

College is expensive, and the costs are only rising. Scholarships and grants can help mitigate the costs of higher education, but even students who receive such aid could find themselves scrambling for ways to make college more affordable.

untoward happens on the floors they’re tasked with looking after. Students who may want to apply for RA positions should first confirm if serving as an RA will affect their overall financial aid package and how great that impact might be.

Housing is one of the more expensive costs for college students and their families. According to the College Board, the average cost for room and board during the 2016-2017 school year was $10,440 at four-year public schools and $11,890 at private colleges and universities. And those costs typically cover housing for just the school year, which may last anywhere from six to eight months. However, there are ways for students and their families to reduce those costs.

• Live with roommates even after leaving the dorms. Due to limited space, many colleges insist dorm residents live with roommates. Upperclassmen who are moving out of the dorms and into university or off-campus apartments can save money by continuing to live with roommates. This can be especially beneficial to students who will be living in off-campus housing where amenities such as electricity, cable television and water are unlikely to be included in the cost of the rent.

• Examine your dormitory options. Many schools assign students to dormitories for their freshman years, giving students little say with regard to where they will live. However, students might have more input in their housing come their sophomore, junior and senior years. Some dorms might be more attractive and offer more amenities than others, but students and families looking to save money on housing costs should opt to live in the most budget-friendly dorms available to them. In addition, choose to live with a roommate rather than in a single room, as singles tend to cost substantially more

than double rooms. • Sign up to be a resident advisor. Resident advisors, or RAs, often receive free housing in exchange for living in dormitories when they are upperclassmen or graduate students. RAs help newly enrolled or younger students adjust to campus life while also ensuring nothing

• Commute to school. While it might not be ideal, commuting to school can save college students and their families substantial amounts of money. Public university students who did so during the 2016-2017 school year might have saved nearly $11,000, or $44,000 in four years. That’s money that can be used to pay tuition or finance postgraduate educations. College housing costs can be considerable. But budget-conscious students and families can save on such costs in various ways.

More than 70% of the nation’s 50,000-plus court reporters work outside of the court. Freelance Court reporters, capture the words spoken during a court or deposition proceeding. Legislative court reporters transcribe proceedings in the United States Congress and in state legislatures around the country. The ability to transcribe the spoken word has led to new career opportunities in the fields of broadcast captioning and CART captioning.

Early Childhood Education Week • Oct. 21-27

With a highly specialized skill set, graduates have a variety of career options. Demand for court reporters continues to increase. This career has risen to the surface as a standout option for those interested in meaningful work with healthy compensation. Who makes a good Court Reporter? It could be you. Successful Court Reports are individuals who can work independently; or have an interest in the legal system; or gamers with excellent dexterity and hand-eye coordination; or grammar geeks and those with an aptitude for learning new languages; or strong writers and spellers. For more information visit our website www.libi.edu or call 631.499.7100

Give your children a leg up, with Early Childhood Education. You want to give them a safe, loving environment. With structure and discipline. Not just day care, but a real school with certified teachers. A school that supports working Moms (and Dads), with before and after care—and gives students as young as three years old the fundamental skills they need to develop a lifetime love of learning. Of course, choosing a Catholic education gives them much more than an educational advantage. It also helps them understand their purpose in life and their obligations to others, reinforcing the values you live at home. Isn’t that what you want for your children?

NYU School of Professional Studies Division of Applied Undergraduate Studies Affordable Associates Degrees Within Your Reach Perhaps you or someone you know has thought about earning an associates degree, but has not gotten around to enrolling or even making the time to investigate options. Many people do not know that the NYU School of Professional Studies (NYUSPS) Division of Applied Undergraduate Studies offers a truly affordable option for earning an associates degree. In order to encourage students to begin college studies or return to school, NYUSPS recently lowered the cost on its associates degrees, which are now comparable in price to earning a degree at a local community college. The difference is that students benefit from a stellar NYU

education that will open the doors to a wealth of new opportunities. Whether they are pursuing an undergraduate degree for the first time or are returning to school after a hiatus, an NYU education is now well within their reach. Financial aid advisers help students to make the best decisions about financing their education. They guide students on the costs for earning their degree and help them to navigate the process by which to apply for financial aid. Scholarships are also available for those who qualify. NYUSPS associates degrees are designed for students who have earned a high school diploma at least one year ago (students entering this program are typically 19 years or older, with many in their 20s, 30s, and 40s). These degrees serve as an introduction to a professional career or as the first major milestone in a student’s college education. Upon graduation, the credits students earn are transferable to the Division’s bachelors degree programs, allowing them to seamlessly complete the next phase of their education. The associates degrees are perfect for students who decided to take a break after high school or who stopped out of college before earning at least 60 transferable college credits. While enrolling in college later

in life can seem daunting, NYUSPS makes it easy, walking students through the process and helping them to get acclimated to attending classes and to producing college-level work. The range and diversity of academic programs offer unparalleled opportunities for intellectual stimulation and professional growth. Associates degrees provide rigorous curriculum that enables students to acquire knowledge that is immediately applicable on the job. Students build critical analytical thinking skills, gain academic insight, and develop personal and professional relationships—all within a highly supportive environment. The NYUSPS Division of Applied Undergraduate Studies faculty and staff members are committed to ensuring student success. Professionally credentialed academic advisers are dedicated to helping students to navigate successfully through their educational experience. All new students are assigned an academic adviser who provides assistance, support, and a sense of confidence in academic choices. Faculty advisement and tutoring services also are available to ensure that students are getting the most out of their NYUSPS educational experience. The NYUSPS Division of Applied Undergraduate Studies offers four associates degrees: the AA in Liberal Arts, the AAS in Business, the AAS in Health Administration, and the AAS in Information Systems Management. Each of these degrees provides a solid liberal arts core—the hallmark of the wellrounded education that hiring managers seek. From day one, the professionally oriented programs immerse students in industry focused content that readies them for the job market or for additional studies at the baccalaureate level. The Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts allows students to explore a broad range of subjects that will build critical thinking skills, develop invaluable quantitative reasoning skills, and ground them in history and culture. The Associate of Applied Science in Business prepares students with quantitative reasoning skills in accounting, economics, and marketing, while building knowledge about different economies, cultures, and approaches to conducting business globally. The Associate of Applied Science in Health Administration prepares students for roles in managing healthcare systems efficiently and effectively. The Associate of Applied Science in Information Systems Management prepares students

to design, operate, and evaluate competitive technology alternatives to meet an organization’s needs. Central to an NYUSPS education is a strong foundation in the liberal arts. An academic requirement that all NYUSPS Division of Applied Undergraduate Studies students must fulfill, the 32 credits of liberal arts core courses provide critical information and develop a broad range of competencies that form the basis for more specialized and professionally oriented study. The curriculum is enriched by access to the exceptional cultural, economic, political, creative, technical, and business resources of New York City. Classes held during days and evenings, intensives, and online degrees and courses cater to students who are often balancing personal and professional responsibilities. Flexible course schedules

and formats ensure that students can earn their degree as quickly as possible, in a way that fits their busy lifestyle. NYUSPS associates degree students also benefit from career resources offered through their academic division, as well as from career development/management services provided by the School and the University at large. The NYU Wasserman Center for Career Development at the NYU School of Professional Studies and the University’s Wasserman Center for Career Development work in partnership with the School’s academic program areas to provide supplemental services and programs specifically designed for NYU School of Professional Studies students.

How to identify and stop cyberbullying Today’s students have many new things to contend with as they navigate the school year. As a greater number of schools transition to providing lessons, homework and tests on digital devices, students spend much more time online. This connectivity can have many positive results. However, the same availability also opens up students of all ages to various dangers.

tion about a person publicly. When information has been disseminated throughout the internet, one has been “outed.” • Fraping: Fraping occurs when someone logs into another’s social media account and impersonates him or her. This could be a child or an adult impersonating the person and posting inappropriate content in his or her name. Sometimes this type of bullying is also called “posing” or “catfishing.”

One of these dangers is a more invasive form of bullying called “cyberbullying.” The global organization DoSomething.org says nearly half of kids have been bullied online, with one in four saying it has happened more than once. Cyberbullying has grown as access to computers and devices that offer an online connection has grown. Bullying is now just as likely to occur online as it is on the playground. Cyberbullies may bully classmates through email, social media, instant messaging, and other social applications. Since cyberbullying tends to target emotions and mental well-being, and reaches beyond the school campus into a student’s home, its impact can be even more serious. According to the Megan Meier Foundation, which campaigns against bullying, peer victimization during adolescence is associated with higher rates of depression, suicide ideation and suicide attempts. In the United States, suicide

• Masquerading: Masquerading occurs when bullies create fake profiles so they can harass someone anonymously. The bully is likely someone the person being targeted knows well.

Children, adolescents and young adults can be the victims of a pervasive type of abuse called cyberbullying. is the second leading cause of death for individuals between the ages of 15 and 24, according to data compiled from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Center for Behavioral Health Statistics, and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Cyberbullying occurs in many different forms. Here are some types of cyberbullying educators and parents can look for if they suspect their students or chil-

dren are being bullied. • Flaming: This is a type of bullying that occurs in an online forum or group conversation. It’s achieved by sending angry or insulting messages directly to the person. Flaming is similar to harassment, but harassment usually involves privately sent messages. • Outing: This type of bullying is a sharing of personal and private informa-

Treat kids to lunches that meet all needs School lunch may seem like a relatively easy concept for parents to master. However, day in and day out, enterprising moms and dads grow anxious over what to put into kids’ lunch boxes or bags. Parents have foods they want their kids to eat, and then there are foods their grade-schoolers will actually consider. Schools may also place limitations on what kids can bring to school due to allergies or school rules on sweets versus healthy foods. Then there’s the packaging itself. Parents may weigh the benefits of everything from clever accessories to eco-friendly materials. Removing school lunch stress is easy. Once these steps are conquered, sending children off to school with acceptable meals becomes that much easier. Foods Keep a running list of must-have foods to stock the pantry. This will make it easier when it’s time to go shopping. Picky eaters may return again and again to familiar comfort foods. As long as the child is getting enough vitamins and growing, there should be little issue in letting him and her eat the same foods day in and day out. Because parents cannot police what their children eat at school, it’s better to devote time to introducing new foods during breakfast or dinner. Involve kids in some of the food decisions, especially since they are the ones eating the lunch at school. Certain foods may not keep well or become less appealing after sitting in backpacks until lunchtime. Respect kids’

input and try to make some changes accordingly. Restrictions Researchers have estimated that food allergies affect one in every 13 children under the age of 18 in the United States alone. That equates to two in every classroom. The group Food Allergy Research & Education says eight foods account for the majority of all reactions: peanuts, tree nuts, soy, milk, eggs, wheat, fish and shellfish. Parents should be cognizant of common food allergies and be considerate of other kids in the classroom who may have allergies by limiting some of the most common allergy-associated foods in their children’s lunches. Packaging The way foods are presented can improve the dining experience. Just ask professional chefs who go to great lengths on creative “plating” in restaurants. Children who are fussy about foods touching might enjoy one of the economical (and eco-friendly) designs of reusable bento boxes, which separate foods into different sections. They also help parents pack perfect portion sizes for healthier eating habits. Snack and food containers now come in colorful and clever designs that appeal to the toy-lover in most kids. Also, lunch gear manufacturers are thinking outside the sandwich to offer pouches and baggies that are leakproof so that smoothies, soups and yogurts can be enjoyed during lunch, too.

• Exclusion: Sometimes direct targeting is not necessary. Students can be bullied simply by being deliberately left out, such as not being invited to parties or encouraged to participate online conversations. Securing privacy online is one way to prevent cyberbullying attacks. Students also can be selective about who they share personal information with or whose social media friendships they accept. Thinking before posting and paying attention to language and tone can help curb cyberbullying as well. Students should stick together and report instances of cyberbullying if it becomes an issue.

Kindergarten can be a pivotal time in a young child’s life. Although many kids attend preschool or receive guided learning at home, kindergarten marks students’ first official foray into the classroom. This is an exciting time for kids and parents, and also one that may be fraught with nerves. That is especially true for parents who are not quite sure if their children are ready to begin their academic careers. While many school districts mandate that students must be at least five years old to begin kindergarten, age is not the only factor to consider when gauging kids’ readiness for school. Child-education experts note that there is no single factor that determines kids’ readiness for school, but rather there is a host of factors that, when taken together, can help parents determine if their youngster is ready for the rigors of the classroom. The following are some factors parents can consider as they try to determine if their children are ready to enroll in kindergarten. • Separation anxiety: Does your child handle separation well, or is he or she prone to meltdowns each time you leave for even a short period of time? School requires kids to spend several hours away from home and away from their parents, and parents might need to take steps to

able to recognize some letters and numbers before starting school. They do not necessarily have to enter school knowing them all or being able to read fluently, but the more familiar they are with language and mathematics the more likely they are to have a successful year in kindergarten.

• Coping strategies: Parenting experts affiliated with Care.com say that children on the verge of entering kindergarten should be able to control their emotions to a certain extent. While children may occasionally cry in the kindergarten classroom, it’s important that your child be able to cope with some of the ups and downs of classroom life without shedding tears.

increase youngsters’ comfort levels away from home before school begins. • Follows instructions: Experts at BabyCenter.com advise that children who are able to listen to simple instructions and follow them will be more apt to thrive in classroom settings. They also will be more capable of keeping up with teachers and peers. • Self-sufficiency: Has your child exhibited signs that he or she can be self-reliant? This includes putting on his or her

coat, dressing himself or herself and being able to use the bathroom on his or her own. If not, then you might need to work on the child’s self-sufficiency before school begins. • Cursory knowledge of letters/numbers: While children on the verge of entering kindergarten need not be experts in language and mathematics, kindergarten curricula has become more rigorous thanks to the implementation of new standards. As a result, children should be

• Interest in learning: Another indicator of school readiness is a general interest in learning. Children who like hearing stories, enjoy participating in discussions and activities and are stimulated by information and interactions with others are probably ready to begin their academic careers. Kindergarten readiness can be determined by many factors. Age alone does not dictate a child’s readiness, as there are many additional potential indicators that can help parents determine if their youngsters are ready to begin school.

INVITED ESTATE SALES BY TRACY JORDAN Looking to sell items from your home? Consider doing an Online Auction! Online Auctions reach more interested buyers than tag sales and can often sell for more than what you would make at an estate or tag sale. Invited Estate Sales by Tracy Jordan can do both! You can sell your items online reaching potential buyers locally or globally as well as hosting a private sale from your home! Let us guide you on what items to put in auction including furniture, housewares, decorative items, jewelry, collectibles, coins, artwork and anything else you may no longer want or need. Our services can help you to maximize your selling experience whether you are selling 1 item or 500 items. We are a one stop service for all your needs when you are moving or selling a property! Selling, donating, discarding and cleaning out services can be done to meet your time frame with minimal stress.

Thunder 8s keep rolling on

Connor Doherty scores the extra point

Ronan Coyle runs the ball The Walker Thunder 8s defeated the Mineola Chiefs this past Sunday with by a score of 25 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 0 thanks to a hat trick by AJ Haffner and a touch down by James Walker. Connor Doherty added to the score with the extra point from QB Ryan Rafferty. The entire offense contributed with ball carries by Ronan Coyle, Kevin Sorohan and Collin Walsh. The O-line crushed Mineola with great blocking by CJ Mattice, Brett Webber, Zachary Psilakis, Christina Roddini

Christian Gamba makes the tackle

and Crosby Kraus. The Thunder D was a wall and shut out the Chiefs thanks to great stops by Kevin Pryblyski, Wolfgang Ullrich, Christian Gamba, RJ Falvey, Brian Kahn, Tyler Feeney, Gavin Macchio, Ethan Dorsainvil and Vance Palmer. The Thunder 8s will take on Franklin Square at home on Sunday at 10:30AM, and hope to have Jeffrey Finnell and Mark Escher back in the line up. Come down and cheer them on. Go Thunder!

Another awesome Sunday for football as the Thunder 9s headed to Rockville Centre to play the Titans. At first, the Titan defense was sharp and quick to stop Thunder red zone attempts, but it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take long for the offense to find its groove and barrel straight to the end zone. Anthony Asaro was first to score with a Maximo Siragusa extra point conversion to put Thunder up 7-0. It was a whirlwind of offense from that point on. Touchdowns from Gus Galli, Siragusa and CJ Rogler, plus an extra

point score by Joseph Ottomanelli put the final score at 26-0. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a shutout without stellar defensive play. There were goliaths on the field this Sunday. Key tackles by James Butt, Vincent Lodato, Matteo Ingrassia and Alex Bruno on third and fourth down conversion attempts, denied the Titans entrance to the end zone. Thunder 9s are heading back home on Sunday, 10/7 at noon against Franklin Square at Community Park. Go Thunder!

Thunder 9s trample the Titans

Friday, October 5, 2018 The Garden City News

GC Boys Varsity Soccer continues winning ways The Garden City Boys Varsity Soccer team continued its winning ways over the past week, winning three more games to run its win streak to six straight and remain undefeated in league play. The team has relied on timely scoring, a strong defense and a deep pool of talent to stay on a roll. The Trojans finished the first half of their league season last Wednesday with a 5-2 victory over visiting New Hyde Park. The game was never in doubt as the Trojans struck early on a goal by senior captain TJ Schmitt off an assist from junior Owen Heaney. The goals kept coming as Nick Prime, Andrew Luglio, Owen Heaney and Will Wieland all found the net. Even goalkeeper Joe Griffin got in on the offense recording an assist on a beautiful long pass. With the score 5-0 at the half, Coach Cutter utilized his depth getting

valuable varsity playing time for many players to see out the 5-2 win. Last Friday saw Glen Cove visit the Trojans for a non-league match-up of the past two Nassau County Class A champions. In a back and forth battle, Garden City built a 2-0 lead off goals from sophomore Andy Schneider and senior Andrew Luglio, with TJ Schmitt adding an assist. The defense of Tom Aneser, Ethan Senatore, Joe McNiff, Will Crowley, Bobby Seele and Joe Griffin held firm against a determined Glen Cove attack and the Trojans pulled out a 2-1 victory. Tough games like this one against good opponents provide valuable experience for the boys with the playoffs coming up. This past Monday, the team kicked off the second half of its league season on the road at Elmont. A small field and aggressive opponent hampered the

Trojans ball control style of play in a difficult first half. Behind goals from Andy Schneider and senior captain James Basile (2), the Trojans held a 3-2 halftime lead. The second half saw the boys adapt better to the conditions. James Basile converted a penalty kick to complete his hat trick and then Owen Heaney converted a shot off a nice feed from Andy Schneider. Owen returned the favor to Andy a few minutes later, feeding a slick through ball past the Elmont defense that Andy buried for his second goal of the game and a 6-2 Trojan victory. With key contributors Joe Bernieri and Ethan Senatore both missing this game due to illness, the team’s depth was key in this victory. Some of the boys needed to play several different positions, and James McQuaid, Aidan McKernan, Danny Lynch and Brendan

Haggerty all added key contributions to secure the win. Trojan Notes: The Trojans will wrap up this week at home on October 3rd against Sewanhaka and at Great Neck North on October 5th. The league season then conclude next week with two road games against Manhasset and New Hyde Park. Through Monday, October 1st, Junior Owen Heaney continues to lead Nassau County in total points and assists. This year’s Trojans have a roster of over 30 players – all of whom have been contributing to the team’s success. Many thanks to the Garden City Centennials for the years of coaching and development that gets the boys to this point. The Centennials continued support of the Trojans program is greatly appreciated.

The Garden City Varsity Field Hockey team knows the secret to success: playing as a team both on and off the field! And now there’s no stopping the Lady Trojans who barreled through both Massapequa and Manhasset to bring their record to an 8-0. On Friday, September 28th, Garden City set the Massapequa Chiefs straight when they left Berner Middle School with a 6-0 victory. The Lady Trojans’ dominance began at the first whistle, scoring all of their goals in the first half. Senior Grace Kelly scored off a penalty corner two minutes into the game on a pass to the middle by sophomore Sarah Killcommons. Before Kelly’s second goal ten minutes later off an assist from captain Liana McDonnell, senior Amanda Cerrato, and sophomore Lizanne Griffith found the net. By the middle of the first half, captain Caitlin Cook had scored, and Griffith scored a second time to bring the halftime total to 6-0. All the while, midfielders captain Ella Heaney, McDonnell, Kylie Tierney, and Griffith kept the ball well over the center line, allowing Killcommons, Sydney Pappas, Olivia Kaval, and senior goalie Katie Mullins to relax just a little. In the second half, the Garden City forwards Blakely Trapani, Kathryn Cappello, Sophie Read, and Amanda Malatak with help from midfielders Julia

Junior Kathryn Cappello controls the ball and scores a Trojan goal!

Sharp, Olivia Meringolo, Julia Fornasar, and Carina Suba, continued to pressure the Massapequa goal. However, the Chiefs fought back. With the help of defenders Emily Quinn, Lisa Garizio, Marybeth Kane, Audra FitzGerald, Caroline Flanagan, Lizzy Phillips, Kaitrin Karr, and Olivia Ottomanelli, sophomore goalie Kat Considine fought off 5 penalty corners to end the game in a 6-0 shutout. On Monday, October 1st, the Lady Trojans came out looking better than ever for familiar foe, Manhasset as they defeated them the second time this season, this time 6-1. Quickly, senior Amanda Cerrato passed to senior captain Caitlin Cook for the first goal of the game. Next, Cookie assisted Cerrato for 2-0. Senior captain Liana McDonnell was pivotal in adding two more goals, one off an assist from Kylie Tierney, and then assisting Sarah Killcommons to make the score 5-0 at halftime. During the second half, freshman Blakely Trapani earned her first varsity point with an assist to Kathryn Cappello for the 6th goal of the game. Eventually, Manhasset answered with a rare opportunity, making the final score 6-1. The Garden City Varsity Field Hockey team hits the road again this afternoon to play Locust Valley at 5. Come out and support the Lady Trojans! HEY RED!

Trojans roll to their 28th straight victory

Coach Ettinger, leads the Trojans to the field This past Saturday at Warren King Field, the Garden City Trojans took on cross town rival, the Carey Seahawks. Carey came out with a very aggressive defense and held the Trojans to only a first half field goal, and it felt like Garden City was on its heels for the first time this season. After trading scoreless possessions to start the second quarter, Carey broke through for a touchdown on a 63-yard touchdown pass with 7:48 left in the quarter. Garden City hasn’t been behind all year, and in fact, the last team to hold a lead over the Trojans was the Carey Seahawk,s and that was on November 19th, 2016. Coach Ettinger said after the game that “this was the first real dog fight we’ve been in this season.” Garden City answered, and answered quickly when about one minute after Carey scored, Trojan quarterback Colin Hart hit Justin Coppola with our own 63 yard touchdown pass. On Carey’s next possession, Brendon Smith and Christian Sullivan put some big hits on the Carey backs and forced a punt. On the Trojans next possession, from the Carey 35 yard line, Hart threw a jump ball to Trojan receiver James Cashwell. Cashwell was double covered, but outjumped the two defenders, secured the ball and came down in the end zone. The score was now 17-7. On Carey’s next possession, faced with a 3rd and 5, the Seahawk quarterback hit a receiver on the Carey sideline, and after dodging a few defenders, he was racing down the sideline for what appeared to be a sure touchdown. Garden City linebacker, Liam Griffith, had other ideas, as he tracked the Carey receiver and made

a shoe-string tackle at the 20 yard line. Carey was unable to score as they were forced into a missed field goal. The half ended with Garden City holding a 17-7 lead. Midway through the third quarter, Carey scored cutting the lead to 17-14 and this really felt like the “dog fight” Coach Ettinger described. Garden City again answered quickly. On a 3rd and 19, Trevor YeboahKodie threw the option pass to quarterback Hart who scrambled for 18 yards, leaving Garden City facing a 4th and 1 from the Garden City 43 yard line. Looking for just one yard and the first down, Yeboah-Kodie had other ideas blasting through the line of scrimmage and taking it 57 yards for a touchdown. Garden City led 24-14. On Carey’s next possession, on a 3rd and 10, Trojan guard Connor Gunn had a strip sack of the Carey quarterback and recovered the fumble at the Carey 24 yard line. After a number of carries by Yeboah-Kodie, the ball was at the Carey 1 yard line. Quarterback Hart punched it in on a quarterback sneak, and at 31-14 it felt as if order was restored at Warren King Field. With seconds left in the 3rd quarter, Justin Coppola broke for a 51 yard run, taking the ball to the Carey 2 yard line. Coach Ettinger rewarded Coppola for his hard work, and called his number again and Coppola brought it home from the 2, to extend the Trojans lead to 38-14, which was how the game ended. The Trojans are now 4-0 and face Elmont Memorial on Saturday, October 6th at 3:00PM. This is a home game. Come on out and cheer the Trojans on.

The Garden City Girls Swimming and Diving Team The Garden City Girls Swimming & Diving team has begun its quest for a 20th consecutive Nassau County Championship. The 37-member varsity team returned to the pool on Tuesday, August 28th preparing for the season ahead. Legendary Coach Anne Sullivan, who has been coaching the girls team in Garden City for over 25 years, remains the driving force behind the team. This year’s team is led by senior captains Abby Brita, Elizabeth Fetherston, Heather Fanning and Olivia Ragusa. Diver Elsie Schaubeck and manager Zoe Heath round out the senior class as they embark on their final varsity season.

The girls prevailed in their first meet against Sewanhaka with a decisive 97-66 win.
