Fate of western fire station debated BY RIKKI N. MASSAND

Garden City has more architectural issues than just the debate over the historic St. Paul’s main building. At the Village Board of Trustees’ meeting on Thursday, October 4, Trustee John Delany said because budget formulation and deliberations for village fiscal year 20192020 are rapidly approaching this fall, it was time to consider demolishing and replacing the western fire station at Stewart Avenue and Edgemere Road.

Trustee Delany is the Board of Trustees’ appointed fire commissioner and has been involved in discussions and operational considerations for the department over the last few years. “A couple weeks ago I was unfortunate enough to have to take a tour of Station 2 with (Village Administrator) Ralph Suozzi and (Superintendent of Public Works) Joseph DiFrancisco and we saw that the firehouse is in extremely bad condition with roof damage and water leaks, windows, the electrical wiring and bricks, etc. I suggest to

my fellow trustees if you would like to be shocked, go over and take a walkthrough of Fire Station No. 2,” Delany said. He referenced an engineering report on Station No. 2 performed by consultants Cameron Engineering of Woodbury, delivered to the Board and village administration this spring, that estimated the repairs emergent for the firehouse at slightly over $2 million, not inclusive of the remodeling and construction required to accommodate larger (fire truck) apparatus that does not See page 48

At the Eastern Property Owners’ Association monthly meeting held Tuesday, October 9, frustrated residents heard assurances and promises to do better from Long Island Rail Road officials who recently received complaints about idling trains and noisy construction during overnight hours. Residents questioned them about the cause of loud activities taking place on the decommissioned St. James Street South LIRR tracks in a residential stretch between Washington Avenue and Clinton Road. East residents got an immediate response to complaints with a site visit in Garden City held Thursday, October 4, as LIRR President Phillip Eng and other LIRR leadership were called in. But those who live near the LIRR tracks insisted that the next site visit from the LIRR brass occur at 2 a.m. or another ‘redeye’ hour so officials can learn the root cause of disturbances and whether these problem in the East starts with LIRR operational inefficiencies and/or the subcontractors job performance along the decommissioned rail line.

Nighttime noise problems

Residents say since Garden City’s residents and the Mott Section of the East in particular is kept awake by the intolerable noise all night, the inspections should take place when there’s likely to be a noisy problem to observe. Residents told LIRR officials no disturbing, house-shaking LIRR work or construction-related activities have taken place during daytime hours, just while they are trying to get a good night’s sleep in their homes. Village Trustee Mark Hyer, who represents the East, vowed that no matter if the LIRR officials visited Garden City at 2 a.m. to inspect and address the persisting issues, he would show up to accompany them on their visit. Long Island Rail Road representatives promised to be a good neighbor, as “the LIRR is here and is not going anywhere.” In front of the EPOA audience October 9, Vanessa Lockel, government and community affairs See page 47

A WORD FROM THE PUBLISHER

On public discussions We were glad to see that that there has been thoughtful and open discussion among the members of the Board of Trustees regarding how to renovate the fire station on the west side of town. There are pros and cons to every issue and having a good discussion is the best way to bring everyone on board and to find the solution that works best. In our national politics right now there is an almost unprecedented amount of black and white thinking, where members of political parties demonize each other. Let's do all we can to fight that trend and encourage collegiality and collaboration. On the other hand, we were less excited about the Board's decision to

limit public comments on agenda items to only the beginning of meetings. Previously, residents could speak on agenda items during the first part of the meeting, and then on any subject at all at the end. Practically, this meant that if the Trustees did something during a meeting, residents could voice their pleasure or displeasure immediately after. With the new rules, residents who are angry at a Board action will have no immediate outlet for their feelings. (They can, of course, still write letters to the editor that we will be happy to print. That is a step away from the openness we think the Board should have.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Email: Editor@GCNews.com

An accident waiting to happen

To the Editor: Something must be done about the dangerous conditions in the south parking lot on Seventh Street before a tragedy occurs. On Friday, October 5 at about seven p.m. (it was already dark), a boy of about eight was almost hit by a car that was backing up as it was parked illegally in the fire lane. The boy, in order to avoid a group of us walking on the sidewalk toward Walk Street, darted around us into the fire lane. He could not have seen the moving car and had we not shouted to him to stop, would have probably run right into it. He had just gotten out of a car that pulled into the spot directly behind the Adelphi cleaners. Walking through the lot at most times of the day is truly taking one’s life into one’s hands. Between cars repeatedly circling to find a spot, and many driving too fast, to multiple cars parked in the fire lane, to multiple cars parked perpendicular to the shops in

slots intended for store employees and thus have to back out through pedestrians, walking through the south lot is dangerous. Fortunately, on Friday, we did not have to dodge delivery trucks because of the hour. There were at least a dozen open spots at the other end of the lot near Chase Bank and Daniel Gale, but heaven forbid anyone walk a few extra steps, even on a beautiful night. Two suggestions: pay the money to have a traffic control officer (brownie) in the lot from, say, ten in the morning to nine at night to keep cars from parking in the fire lane or directly behind stores and speeding, or alternatively, put up some police barricades, like those used to close Seventh Street, to block cars from parking in the fire lane and behind stores. No need to hire a high priced consultant here. I am sure others can come up with easy to implement solutions, too, but please do something before someone gets hurt. Linda Ryan

Movies for a Sunday Afternoon at St. Joseph’s Parish On Sunday, October 21st, the St. Joseph Parish Adult Faith Formation Board will present the film A Man Called Ove. Based on an international best-selling novel, this Swedish film traces the life of a grumpy old man with inflexible rules and a short fuse. He’s essentially given up on life and committed to joining his deceased wife, but when a multicultural family moves in next door, a transformation begins. What ensues is a funny and moving

love story, during which Ove experiences a genuine conversion and ultimate redemption. Note: The characters speak Swedish, so the English subtitles (which some of us need anyway) are a necessary feature for this movie. The film will be shown at 2:00PM in the St. Agnes Room This is the first of our 2018-2019 series “Movies for a Sunday Afternoon”. Admission is free, All are welcome. A discussion will follow the showing and light refreshments will be served.

BY RIKKI N. MASSAND Representatives of the project managers for the Long Island Railroad’s Third Track project received a backlash from about three dozen concerned residents for suggesting the use of two village parks as staging areas for the construction project. At the Village Board meeting on Thursday, October 4, officials working on the initial four-year preconstruction phases for the Long Island Rail Road’s Third Track project, a 9.8 mile stretch cutting through Garden City extending from Floral Park to Hicksville, heard objections from the residents regarding the use of two village parks as staging areas for prefabricated pieces of slab and construction materials that will be used in the eventual installation of the new rails. Project managers from the group “3rd Track Constructors” or “3TC” who were awarded the over $1.8 project bid last December from the LIRR/MTA, spoke at the meeting and took questions from residents. An initial timeline for 3rd Track Constructors’ operations in Garden City was presented with PowerPoint slides at the October 4 meeting. In it, they stated that Merillon Avenue’s station work will be taking place from April 2019 to June 2020, followed by the Nassau Boulevard bridge work from

June to September of next year and then roughly one year, commencing in August 2019, for the construction at the LIRR New Hyde Park Road crossing. Following that would be the New Hyde Park train station work from August 2020 through December 2021, and finally the Denton Avenue/Tanners Pond Road LIRR bridge work from December 2020 through April 2021. The 3rd Track Constructors group has a strict New York State contractual deadline of four years from its start date of pre-Third Rail construction work. There are financial penalties written into the state contract if 3TC does not get in and out of the local villages on the 9.8-mile stretch in its contractually allotted time frame, however there is no monetary incentive for 3TC to speed things up and finish this initial stage, precursors of the actual Third Track installation, earlier than in the next four years. Travis Brennan, outreach director for 3TC’s project, explained. “Being a design-build project and us trying to accomplish this megainstrastructure and upgrade of an antiquated system, it is going to happen in four years. What that means is that if one element of the project slips or another project along the line needs to move more accelerated up in our schedule we would not delay the overall timeline for completion. If for example Merillon

Station work moves down to August then we would start on another aspect of the overall project in its place….there is a certain element of the unknown with a design-build project instead of a design-then-build project. But we will continue to provide you with the transparent, public-facing and accountable aspect of letting everyone know what is coming and when it’s coming and making sure the public is aware of the activities set to happen in the area,” he said.

Objections to use of parks

But details of a plan angered several outspoken residents and others in the audience: the 3rd Track Constructors potential use of Tullamore Park and the Strawberry Fields, a recreation space also known as “The Cow pasture” or just “The Cow.” If the materials are not staged there, 3rd Track Constructors say the portion of the project set to take place within boundaries of the Village of Garden City could be extended by several months to nearly a year. The Cow could be used in its strip of green between Nassau Boulevard to Herricks Road, backing up to the LIRR’s right-of-ways for convenience to construction teams. The 3TC team says staging areas would be for precast supply and sections of the Third Track and equipment, and this accessibility can be key for “building

prep practices.” They would expect multiple deliveries coming into Garden City every day of this project. Brennan says 3TC would promise and transparency on all deliveries and give notice to the village, residents, police and other stakeholders. “We will come visit the Board of Trustees and other Garden City groups and organizations to let everyone know what the specifics of the plan is once that is established,” he said. More planning on their side needs to be proposed for village approval first. The right to use the village (municipally-owned) parks for staging and temporary storage would need to be formalized as a private agreement between 3TC and the Village of Garden City and not an agreement involving the LIRR. A young Garden City mom who lives on Kensington Road said she worries about the safety of her three children and other kids in her neighborhood. Meanwhile Kildare Road resident Melissa Geiger calls the plan to use Garden City parks “just another kick in the gut” from the LIRR. She pleaded with the Village Board to not allow the use of public land as the staging areas. Mayor Brian Daughney told her and other residents who opposed the use of village park areas and playgrounds See page 49

Board changes rules for public comments at meetings Comments on agenda items to be limited to beginng of meeting

BY RIKKI N. MASSAND After a short debate by Trustees at its October 4 meeting, the Village Board approved a change to the format of its biweekly meetings, impacting public comments. The amendment to Board of Trustees’ rules and procedures calls for the second session of public comment at each trustees’ meeting to be limited to “Citizens’ Comments on non-agenda items.” At each Board of Trustees’ meeting the first session of public comments, generally preceding formal action on the consent calendar and any major presentations to the Board, is designated as “Citizens’ Comment on Agenda Items.” That first opportunity for public comment, specific to the meeting agenda that evening, immediately follows the “Trustees’ or Mayor’s Comment on any item or issue.” The change the Board approved on October 4 makes the second public comment period designated time for bringing up non-agenda items, according to the description presented at the meeting, “inasmuch as Board ‘agenda’ items are discussed at the beginning of each meeting….It is suggested that entertaining comments from citizens on agenda items at both

the beginning and end of each meeting encourages duplicative remarks and limits the time available at the end of Board meetings to entertain non-agenda topics.” Ironically on October 4 there was no public input taken by the Board of Trustees on making the change to its meeting procedures before the trustees actually voted in favor of the amendment to the rules. That input could have been received during “Citizen’s Comment on Agenda Items.” But the new outline was approved by the narrowest of margins with a 5 to 3 Board vote; a rare show of strong opposing viewpoints by members of the Board on an agenda item. Trustees Mark Hyer, Robert Bolebruch and Deputy Mayor Theresa Trouvé were not in favor of a new restriction on the second public comment period of each meeting. Garden City Mayor Brian Daughney was highly in favor of the change. Last Thursday he provided his fellow trustees and audience members with more reasoning behind this concept. “The next item on tonight’s agenda is changing one of our rules on how we (the Board of Trustees) do meetings. Obviously there’s opportunities for everyone to comment and as we go

through the meeting, everyone speaks and first the public comment is on agenda items, then at the end we have some general comment period. I thought and I proposed that it just seemed odd to me that people will go back and talk about the same thing we (the Board) already talked about and voted on. I just thought this move will clean things up and help to run our meetings a little bit better. If we already voted on items I am not sure why we’d have another general comment on it -- this does not stop people from talking. When we get to our agenda and public comment on the agenda we can discuss every topic on the agenda,” Mayor Daughney said. Trustee John Delany agreed, and he added this makes it clear for residents when to discuss Board agenda items. “I also do not see any sense in having another discussion on anything we just voted on. I would rather save time and use that time for other topics the trustees or the community bring forward -- I am in favor of amending the rules not to stop people from talking about things but to put forth their comments before the trustees vote on the agenda,” he said. Trustee Bolebruch has often commented on the service and nature of

the volunteer role he and others on the Board have as the village’s trustees. On more than one occasion, he’s stated that like the trustees themselves, members of the Garden City community who attend village meetings or other municipal board meetings have been up since early in the morning, working hard all day, and they would be ready to comment on the topic of their choice in front of the Village Board as the meeting has that purpose. He says imposing the new limitation on what residents can speak about at meetings can not and should not be rationalized. Bolebruch explains that opinions that are aired during meetings, from the residents’ to the individual trustees’ could be impacted on the spot by information that is presented in front of them on that particular night or as they consider topics in depth. Prior to the trustees’ meeting on October 4, Trustee Bolebruch sent a memo to his fellow trustees, which he read aloud at the meeting last Thursday night. He advised that it isn’t a good idea to make this change to procedures. “Part of the process of what we have in our village is that at the end of Board See page 30

9 One thing led to another...: On October 3rd a vehicle was stopped on Clinton Road by an Officer for aggressive driving violations. The driver, a 25 year old Queens man, was arrested for driving with four license suspensions, excessive speed, unsafe turn and uninsured operation. Police say that further investigation revealed that the driver and his passenger, a 61 year old Queens woman, had just attempted to fraudulently withdraw $1,750 from Chase Bank on Stewart Avenue in Garden City using forged documents, including an altered license in another person’s name. The passenger was charged with attempted grand larceny, possession of stolen property, identity theft and possession of forged instruments. The driver was additionally charged with attempted grand larceny. License problems: On October 3rd as a result of a traffic investigation on Franklin Avenue, a 33 year old Hempstad man, was charged with driving with a suspended license, improper out-of-state dealer license plates, unregistered vehicle and uninsured operation. Vehicle entered: On October 4th loose change was reported stolen from a vehicle parked in a Sunset Lane driveway. Grandparent scam: On October

4th Garden City Police Officers investigated a scam in which an elderly female victim received a phone call from someone claiming to be her grandson. The caller asked the victim to call in $1,500 in gift cards for his bail. After the victim complied with the caller’s request, it was determined that the grandson was never arrested. IRS tax scammers caught: On October 5th a joint investigation by Garden City Detectives and IRS Agents resulted in the arrest of four subjects, ages 22 to 31, from New York City, for conspiracy to commit wire fraud. The subjects, impersonating IRS agents, conducted an ongoing scam where they notified multiple victims that they owed back taxes to the IRS and instructed them to wire payments to them to avoid being arrested. These arrests were the result of a similar investigation initiated by Garden City Detectives in June 2018. Probation violation: On October 5th a joint investigation by the Garden City Police and Nassau County Probation Departments on County Seat Drive resulted in the arrest of a 40 year old Floral Park man for allegedly

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 tentatively scheduled additional meetings for November 1 and November 15, 2018.

Changes to Rules and Procedures

The Board voted in favor of an amendment to the rules and procedure of the Board of Trustees so as to limit citizen comments at the end of each meeting to non-agenda items. It is suggested that entertaining comments from citizens on agenda items at both the beginning and end of each meeting encourages duplicative remarks and limits the time available at the end of Board meetings to entertain non-agenda topics.

e-Bidding Platform

The Pine Street Water Main Improvement Project is the first Village project that will take advantage of electronic advertising via the New York State Contract Reporter website. This website is an e-Bidding platform that lists our bid specifications as opportunities for a larger pool of contractor/vendors than what is traditionally available through advertisements in a local newspaper. It is expected that the additional exposure will allow more bidders into the process, which will create increased competition and also help drive down overall cost. The New York State Contract Report is available to municipalities at no cost and will be used to advertise all future projects that require competitive bidding under New York State Municipal Law. Bids on the Pine Street Water Project are due by 11:00 a.m. on October 26, 2018 and, as with all publicly bid projects, will be awarded to the lowest respon-

sible bidder. E-bidding was identified as one of the Board of Trustees’ priorities earlier this year with the idea of attracting more contractors to bid on Village projects. Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi and Department of Public Works Superintendent Joseph DiFrancisco reviewed three other e-Bid platforms before settling on the New York State Contract Reporter. Some of the other choices offered the same functionality at a cost or unnecessarily impacted other areas of the procurement process.

3rd Track Constructors Presentation

3rd Track Constructors made a presentation during the October 4, 2018 Board of Trustees meeting in which representatives discussed the LIRR expansion project in terms of pre-construction activities, including traffic studies and noise measurement and monitoring; future construction timetable; traffic management and control; grade crossing, station and bridge improvements, retaining and sound attenuation walls, which will be at least eight feet tall from ground level or four feet tall from the top of the rail throughout the 9.8-mile corridor; tree and vegetation removal, which is currently taking place along Main Avenue; and construction staging and access sites, specifically “The Cow” off of Merillon Avenue and the ball fields on the north side of Tullamore Park. The team encouraged residents to reach out to them with any concerns via a 24/7 community hotline, 516-203-4955, so any issues can be addressed in “real time.” Others points of contact include email, communityoutreach@3rdtc.com and a Community Information Center located at 114 Old Country Road in Mineola by appointment only. For more information about the project, visit www.LIRRExpansion.com or www.AModernLI.com. To view the October 4 PowerPoint presentation,

Tree limb trimming to expand visibility of traffic lights

Garden City Police compiled a list of 23 locations throughout the Village where trimming or removal of tree branches could extend the visibility of traffic lights for approaching traffic. The Recreation and Parks Department has already addressed seven of these locations and will be taking care of the remaining 16 locations as soon as possible. Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi noted that this is another fine example of various Village Departments working together to improve the overall safety of residents and visitors alike.

Installation of GPS in Village vehicles

Crews have systematically begun installing GPS systems in Village vehicles. “It’s a little more labor intensive to install the product than we anticipated. We have approximately 17 percent of vehicles installed to date,” Public Works Superintendent Joseph DiFrancisco said. “We are concentrating on vehicles that will be used for leaf pick up and snow plowing first.” The Village took receipt of the new GPS hardware in late September. A representative from the company came to the Department of Public Works Yard mechanics shop and demonstrated how the units are installed and instructed staff on how to install them in the wide variety of vehicles. Investment in this system gives the Village the ability to monitor its assets and also maintain efficiency in manpower deployment. In addition, this system provides new tools and reporting methods to assist in the maintenance and repairs of all Village vehicles. This issue was set forth as one of the items on the

Board’s priority list adopted in the summer of 2017.

New benches for downtown business district

Crews from the Department of Public Works-Street Department, along with assistance from the Recreation and Parks Department, have begun replacing benches along Seventh Street. This week New Hyde Park Road is being addressed. Back in June, Trustees approved the purchase of 45 new benches for Garden City’s downtown business districts. All existing wooden benches currently located on New Hyde Park Road and Seventh Street will be replaced with new “recycled plastic” benches. These high grade benches are impervious to the elements and require very little maintenance, according to Kevin Ocker, chairman of the Board of Commissioners of Cultural and Recreational Affairs. These new benches, along with the new solar compact waste receptacles, and the recently awarded bid for new LED street lighting for the business district, will begin to upgrade the Streetscape throughout the Village.

Fire Prevention Day & Open House

“Look. Listen. Learn.” is the theme of this year’s Fire Prevention Day and Open House, to be held Sunday, October 14, 2018 from 12:00 to 4:00 p.m. at Fire Headquarters on Stewart Avenue. Join the Garden City Fire Department for safety demonstrations, refreshments, fire hose squirt, balloons and the fire safety “smoke house.” New features this year include live music by the FiveStone Band and a giant blow up obstacle course. For more information, visit www.gcfdny.com.

Board of Trustees Meeting

The Board will next meet on Thursday, October 18, 2018 at 8:00 p.m. in the Village Hall Board Room. Residents are encouraged to attend.

“The End of America” to perform at Our Times Coffeehouse The October 19th concert at Our Times Coffeehouse features The End of America, a band of friends, singers and travelers who blend three-part harmony with rock and Americana. The Philadelphia-based outfit harnesses a style that resonates with fans of Ryan Adams, CSNY and Dawes. They were voted “Favorite Newcomer” of the 2016 Philadelphia Folk Festival and the “Most Wanted” band of 2017 at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival. David Crosby tweeted, “They sound great and they seem to be loving doing it.”

The End of America has performed at SXSW, Savannah Stopover and the Philadelphia Folk Fest. They have shared the stage with Graham Nash, Old Crow Medicine Show, Larry Campbell, David Bromberg, Gary Louris (The Jayhawks), Simone Felice (The Felice Brothers) and joined Beck in Los Angeles to perform for his Song Reader sheet music release show. The trio’s appearance at the show aired live on KCRW and received praise from Spin, Filter and The Hollywood Reporter. All frontmen of previous bands,

Brendon Thomas, James Downes and Trevor Leonard met on tour in 2005. They went on to form a trio that highlights their vocal chemistry and captures the raw honesty of their performances. TEOA recently released their debut LP (self-titled), a follow-up to their previous EPs, Shakey and Steep Bay. Anyone who has seen TEOA can attest to their powerful harmonies and stage presence. Doors open at 7:15PM that evening for ticket sales. The suggested donations are $20 adults and $15 students

with ID; sorry, no pre-sales are available. Our Times Coffeehouse is in the Ethical Humanist Society building on Old Country Road, two miles west of Meadowbrook Parkway next to the blue water tower. For more information, please visit www.ourtimescoffeehouse.org or call 516-741-7304. Our Times Coffeehouse, staffed entirely with volunteers, has been presenting live music for 28 years.

GCFD Fire Prevention Day, Open House on October 14th The Garden City Volunteer Fire Department Fire Department is teaming up with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) -- the official sponsor of Fire Prevention Week™ for more than 90 years -- to promote this year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign, “Look. Listen. Learn. Be aware. Fire can happen anywhere™,” which works to educate the public about basic but essential ways to quickly and safely escape a home fire. 3rd Assistant Chief Neil O’Malley says this year’s “Look. Listen. Learn.” campaign highlights three steps people can take to help quickly and safely escape a fire: • Look for places fire could start. • Listen for the sound of the smoke alarm. • Learn 2 ways out of every room. While NFPA and the Garden City Volunteer Fire Department Fire Department are focusing on home fires,

these fire safety messages apply to virtually anywhere. “Situational awareness is a skill people need to use wherever they go,” said Chief Brian Gallo. “No matter where you are, look for available exits. If the alarm system sounds, take it seriously and exit the building immediately.” The Garden City Volunteer Fire Department Fire Department is hosting our Annual Open House and Fire Prevention Day in support of this year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign, “Look. Listen. Learn.,” on Sunday, October 14th beginning at 12 noon at Fire Headquarters. Please join the members of the department for a full day of education for both young and old. For more information about Fire Prevention Week and home escape planning, please visit and follow the department’s facebook page.

Note all the young trees which today tower over Seventh Street. When the beautification project started many large old trees were taken down, upsetting some residents but in the end the project was a success.

Former GC resident runs for Supreme Court BY GARY SIMEONE Lawrence Kelly, a former Garden City resident, has put his name in the ring for a nomination on the New York State Supreme Court bench. He is running on the Republican line, and said that this would be his first and last run at a political election. “I decided to run in order to bring bona fide conservative principles to the bench,” said Kelly, who currently resides in Bayport, Long Island with his wife and three children. “I am honored to run on one line, the Republican line, and would be honored to serve you as my own man.” Kelly has served as an Assistant District Attorney in Suffolk County and a Senior Assistant County Attorney, handling an assortment of federal litigation cases. He has worked overseas in Iraq as a Rule of Law Advisor and taken on many interesting cases including the Ferreira vs. East Hampton Town case

in 2016, concerning gentrification by government action. He has also done pro bono legal work, including working as the lead attorney for the families of 9/11 victims. “I’ve worked for the families of Cantor Fitzgerald, the FDNY and NYPD, to ensure families of survivors, many from Long Island, were treated fairly by the victims compensation fund,” said Kelly. His work with the Special Master 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund was profiled in the highly esteemed National Law Journal in a piece entitled, “Intensive Care.” Kelly, who has ten siblings, was instrumental in helping one of his nephews and countless other soldiers, who were severely injured in the Iraqi war. He helped organize a clothing drive through the Tommy Hilfiger foundation, for 400 pairs of shorts for amputees in Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

“Being an insider at Walter Reed was a privilege. Unlike the 9/11 work, where I was dealing for the most part with families which had lost someone, with the amputees I was dealing with young energetic men and women who were intent on seizing their future.” Kelly said one of the main reasons for his Supreme Court bid, is to add a fresh face to the mix and stop the practice of back room trading of political party support. “Look at the ballot in this 2018 election of judges. You will see the repeating of the same names in different boxes, same name for Democrat, same name for Conservative, same name for Independent. This type of practice deprives the citizens of Nassau and Suffolk of any say in who gets on to be a judge. In an era where many voters have given up on seeing any choice on the judicial ballot , I provide that choice in November 2018 in the Supreme Court election.”

The Garden City Community Church gets a facelift BY MARY CLARKE

At the conclusion of the September 23rd Sunday Service at The Garden City Community Church, the Reverend Lynn Sullivan used a ginormous pair of scissors to cut a festive red ribbon strung across the Sanctuary marking the unveiling of the Church Parlor renovations that took place over the summer. Year in, year out, the Parlor plays a vital role in the life of the Church. It is a hub where Church members gather for fellowship, internal discussions and meetings and guest speaker forums. It is used frequently as a center of activity and has been such for decades. The main area is comprised of a 975 square foot meeting/reception room with a separate kitchen and separate restroom. Structural work began with

installations of new electrical fittings, USB outlets and LED lighting. Along with new window hardware, crown and panel molding added elegant detail. The Whitehall restroom, as it is known, was completely remodeled. Finishing touches for the Parlor included new paint and carpeting, new furniture and reupholstery and new window treatments. The room also includes a fully tuned Baldwin baby grand piano. The project was led by Cindy Campbell along with designers Brad and Ruby Gustavson. Other members of the project team were Clem Olivo, Fred and Linda Schroeder, Steve Short and George Bashian. Last renovated in the 1990’s, the main room now strikes a balance combining practicality with good taste. Those who attended the unveiling remarked how the room appeared much larger. Navy

Left to right: Clem Olivo, Cindy Campbell, Celia Petersen, Rev. Lynn Sullivan, Ruby & Brad Gustavson was chosen for the fabric and carpeting for their classic good looks, durability and washability. Light neutral colors were used on the walls and windows which add to the feeling of tranquility in the room. Let it be said that the Community Church owns a good number of folding chairs for the many meetings and presentations it holds. They are maroon and they, too, coordinate well with the overall color scheme. The Church Parlor complex is a comprehensive space comprising a large room with a lectern, TV, and WiFi. There is an adjoining kitchen and separate restroom. It can accommodate 50 people comfortably and can be rented to outside groups. It is an ideal space for recitals, family reunions and celebrations, (financial) planning seminars and conducting interviews of any kind.

Board changes rules for public comments at meetings From page 8

meetings, anyone in attendance has an opportunity to speak on anything…... Although it can be annoying at times when questions are asked later in the meeting on agenda items, this is an open time for residents to ask questions on any subject, period. Just like us as trustees, each person who attends our meetings deserves the right to be heard on any topic -- ANY TOPIC. This is a dangerous slope that we are taking a vote on. If we sit here and say we will limit the topics will we next consider limiting comments to five members of the public in total? Should we allow just one speaker to comment on any topic? And if someone repeats an opinion, should we cut them off and say ‘no thank you, we already heard that?’ This is one of the things I think separates Garden City from many other communities -- we enable every person to be

heard on ANY TOPIC,” Bolebruch said. Prior to voting against the change, Trustee Mark Hyer said he concurs with Bolebruch’s thought and public comments could be on anything. Minutes later Trustees Stephen Makrinos, John Delany, Louis Minuto, Colleen Foley and Mayor Daughney voted in favor of amending the procedures for meetings. Trustee Foley said she has operated within both guidelines for public participation at municipal meetings in her leading volunteer roles in the village, in the mid-2000s as a Garden City Schools district trustee and Board of Ed. president and in the past five months as a village trustee. She agreed with Mayor Daughney’s explanation of the benefits behind changing the format. “To me this is a timing issue, an efficiency issue and an organizational issue for our meetings. People do tend to re-hash some of the things that were already discussed. I think there should

be a time period for us to discuss agenda items before we all vote, when the public has a chance to impact the decisions we are making. Then later we leave the (second) public comment period for new items after the Board has voted,” Trustee Foley explained. Resident Leo Stimmler of Huntington Road thanked Trustees Bolebruch, Hyer and Deputy Mayor Trouvé for not voting in favor of the amendment. He told the Board their discussion on the change was out of place last Thursday: “Since this item impacts the residents it should have been voted on after we had a chance to comment on it as an agenda item. Thank you to the three trustees who voted against this,” he said. The longstanding Village of Garden City Rules of Procedure for Board of Trustees’ meetings was adopted on February 20, 1992 and last amended on May 4, 2017. Last May the trustees voted to change the order of meetings

to start with the mayor’s and trustees’ welcome to the meeting, followed by department heads and village administrator reports on agenda items. The first opportunity for public comment is next, “citizens’ comments on agenda items” followed by the Board’s consideration of agenda items themselves and then “Public Participation limited to four minutes per person.” The amendment last Thursday impacts the Public Participation segment. The allotment of four minutes per speaker during public comment was formally adopted by the Board of Trustees in April of 2015. At the time of that amendment to the Board meeting procedures, Garden City’s mayor, Nicholas Episcopia, said he did not believe in creating a total limit for the public comment period, as some school districts and towns uphold a maximum of 30 or 60 minutes allotted for public comments.

Gayden Wren It all started at Garden City High School, on a Saturday evening in 1973, when attorney C. Gayden Wren—who had recently moved into the village from the Lower East Side of Manhattan— took his family to see a production of Iolanthe staged at the school by the Gilbert & Sullivan Workshop of Long Island. His 12-year-old son, Gayden Wren, was captivated by the glorious music, the witty dialogue and the clever lyrics—to such an extent that, two years later, he got his father to drive him to Merrick to audition for the Workshop. He had an excellent voice, honed by service in the choir at the Cathedral of the Incarnation, and was accepted into the group. A full 43 years later, Wren is 57, the group is now called the Gilbert & Sullivan Light Opera Company of Long Island and he’s still a member, most recently seen as Reginald Bunthorne in the company’s 2018 production of Patience. Now Wren, today a singer and actor best known to Long Island audiences as the country singer Tennessee Walt, is telling his own story in a one-nightonly, one-man show called Gilbert & Sullivan and Me, to be presented at Westy Self Storage in New Hyde Park on

Saturday, October 20th at 7PM. “People have come up to me after Walt shows, where I’d mention that I’ve done Gilbert & Sullivan for 43 years, and told me that they were G&S fans too,” Wren explained. “They didn’t see how a boy from Garden City could get into G&S or country music, let alone both. I’ve told them that the story of me and Gilbert & Sullivan was too long to tell, because it was basically the story of my life, but that it was definitely an unusual and interesting one, at least to me.” Now that story is being told through Gilbert & Sullivan and Me, which Wren described as “a show 43 years in the making.” It was previously seen in Rochester, N.Y., and in Austin, Texas, in 2007 and 2016 respectively, but never before as a full-length program and never before in Wren’s native Long Island. “It’s a musical program featuring 16 songs, not one of which is actually from the Gilbert & Sullivan operas per se, but all of which relate in some way to the Savoy operas and the lifetime I’ve spent working on them,” Wren said. “People can expect to hear lyrics by such masters as Bobby Braddock, Earl K. Brent, Howard Dietz, Rudyard Kipling, Geoff Mack, Cole Porter, Miriam Walowitz and, yes, W.S. Gilbert, and lots of lyrics by me. I’ll be doing a song from A Gilbert & Sullivan Christmas Carol, a song from the Yiddish version of H.M.S. Pinafore and (specially for Walt fans) two songs associated with four members of the Country Music Hall of Fame.” Joining Wren for a few numbers will be his wife, singer Sara Holliday, with Thomas Z. Shepard accompanying on piano. “This probably isn’t a show for someone who’s never heard of Gilbert & Sullivan,” Wren concluded, “but for anyone who knows and loves the Savoy operas, this ought to be a once-in-a-lifetime event. I hope they’ll have as much fun on Saturday night as I will.” Gilbert & Sullivan and Me will be presented on Saturday, October 20th, at 7PM at Westy Self Storage, 2400 Marcus Avenue in New Hyde Park. Admission is $15, with all proceeds benefiting the Gilbert & Sullivan Light Opera Company of Long Island and its 2019 production of The Gondoliers.

Calling All Students… A”Women in STEAM” discussion will take place at the Library on October 17. On October 17th, Garden City Friends of STEAM will sponsor a discussion panel at the GC Library at 7:00PM. If you’re curious about what it takes for a career in the fields of Science or Engineering or Technology or Mathematics; then come attend this event. As an eighth-grader, I’m still not quite sure what to major in for college. I really like science, but maybe not so much about math or engineering. Two of my best friends want to be a lawyer and physical therapist, so they might

want to check this out. I think a lot of middle-schoolers would be interested and almost everyone in high school will want to hear from these professional women in STEM jobs and how they make an impact on lives in their careers. Featured speakers include Addyson Vignola, plant engineer at Covanta; Dr. Andrea Ward, professor of biology at Adelphi; and Sharon McDonald, engineering leader at TUV SUD Global Risk Consultants. This will be the first in a series of STEAM-Talks during the school year at the library; so please mark it down on your calendar and don’t miss “Women in STEAM” October 17th at 7:00PM at the library. For more information go to www. gcfstem.org and the Garden City Friends of STEAM facebook page.

BigBelly, the company that manufactures “smart” garbage receptacles that work off of solar power, installed the solar compacting units in the business district this week. The top of the pail is a solar panel. The pail itself has a compactor built into it. When the garbage reaches a certain height, it makes contact with a laser installed inside of the pail, which in turn automatically engages the compactors to crush the garbage and create more capacity in the pail. While a standard pail may hold 50 gallons, with the compactor, a pail can hold up to 150 gallons. In addition, the pails are built with cell phones inside them to send a text or email to Village personnel notifying them when the pails are full and need to be emptied.

These pails are being strategically placed throughout the Village, including the St. Paul’s playground, along the north and south sides of Seventh Street near food establishments like Dunkin’ Donuts, Seventh Street Deli, Walk Street, Go Greek and The French Bakery, behind CVS, another behind Grimaldi’s and another one on the west side of New Hyde Park Road. One will be placed in the area of Panera Bread as well. The Village also purchased 20 new, larger-capacity trash receptacles for the business district. Eleven will be located inside Parking Field 7S, while an additional three or four will be located on Seventh Street to supplement the solar pails.

Gemological Appraisal Laboratory of America, Inc. Kenneth Lejman, G.G.

Senior Gemologist • Founder of GAL in 1979

Same amazing service provided for the last 40 years in NYC

New branch of GAL, Inc. Garden City, Long Island Diamond, gemstone, & jewelry appraisals since 1979

Insurance, Estate Recognized Worldwide National & International accreditations

1044 Franklin Avenue, Suite 216, Garden City, NY 11530

212.382.2888 • www.gemlab.com

World renowned and veteran gemologist,

Kenneth Lejman, has been in the gem and jewelry appraisal business for nearly 40 years. He opened the first Gemological Appraisal Laboratory of America (GAL) in Manhattan in 1979, which has become the most highly rated gem and jewelry appraisal firm in New York City. The Gem Lab’s new branch office, located at 1044 Franklin Avenue in Garden city provides nearly all of the same services as the flagship location in Manhattan, providing a more convenient and Kenneth Lejman, G.G. central location to Long Island residents. The 71-year-old Port Washington resident said that the reason he opened a location in Garden City was because of the lack of appraisal and gem testing services on the island. “This location is convenient for anyone who lives on Long Island, and it serves as a main hub for independent gem and jewelry appraisal services for those who don’t want to travel into Manhattan.” said Lejman. “We provide all of the same appraisal services as our Manhattan location, and if advanced analysis is needed, we can easily send it out to the Manhattan office for an expedited service.” “And so many people are pleasantly surprised when they find out the vast worth they may have sitting in their jewelry box. A client was given a diamond heirloom ring from her aunt; she thought it was worth about $500, it turned out to be valued at $25,000. Needless to say, she was floored.” Lejman said that GAL is one of the most respected gem appraisal laboratories in the world, and the company works with many high-end department store, insurance companies, major banks, celebrities, as well as individuals and families who are looking for accurate analysis and evaluations of their gemstone and jewelry items, ranging from simple solitaire engagement rings to more intricate, antique jewelry items. The Gemological Appraisal Laboratory is a member of almost every major gemological society including: the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), International Consortium of Gemological Laboratories, The Gemological Association of Great Britain, NAJA, JVC, and the AGTA. “We’re one of the biggest and best in the world as far as appraisal services go.” said Lejman. “We do everything from scientific identification to monetary evaluations.” Clients are seen by appointment only in order to provide the most comprehensive, one-on-one attention that is needed to provide the most accurate assessment and best possible experience for our clients.

THE VIEW FROM HERE

On to the midterms BY BOB MORGAN, JR. The fight over the confirmation of now-Justice Brett Kavanaugh is now mercifully behind us. I’m not sure that I have anything to add. My best guess is that this controversy will recede into the background rather quickly. As to the immediate political effect, the debate served to energize and unify Republicans angered at what they regard as extreme and unfair last minute tactics to derail a qualified nominee. However, the battle may also have solidified Democratic gains among women, particularly suburban women. How long any of these effects will last remains to be seen. So it’s on to the elections on November 6. Most observers, including myself, don’t give Democrats much of a chance to win the Senate. Democrats will be defending far more seats than the Republicans (26 of the 35 up for election), including in a number of states carried by President Donald Trump by huge margins in 2016. Only two Republican seats (Nevada and Arizona) appear to be in any serious danger, and to win control the Democrats would largely have to run the table in defending their seats. Interestingly, the two on the fence Democratic senators from particularly red states took different paths as to the Kavanaugh nomination. Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia, leading in a competitive race, was the only Democrat to vote for the nominee. On the other hand, Senator Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota, trailing her GOP challenger, voted against. There was some speculation in her home state that she was in effect conceding the race. On the other hand, continued Republican control of the House of Representatives is very much in doubt. It is important to understand the Democrats come into the midterm elections with a fundamental advantage. Absent unusual circumstances, many voters prefer to elect members of Congress who will act as a check against the President and his party. In the case of the House, all of whose members are up for election in the midterm, a typical gain for the

opposition party has been about 25 seats, right around the 23 seats the Democrats currently need to gain control. Another factor working in favor of Democrats is President Trump’s popularly numbers. According to Real Clear Politics, his average poll approval rating at this writing is at 43.6 percent, with a disapproval of 52.5 percent, and considerably higher strong disapproval than strong approval ratings. If you talk to many of Mr. Trump’s supporters, they generally approve of his policies (and his nomination of Mr. Kavanaugh), but also are unhappy with his persona. If only he would Tweet less, or maybe not at all, and make fewer brash or exaggerated statements. This probably helps to explain why the President is not benefiting that much from the roaring economy. On the other hand, Democratic control of the House is not a sure thing. According to Real Clear Politics, their average lead in the so-called generic ballot (which asks if a voter will back a Democratic or Republican candidate) is as of this writing, 7.3 percent. This is well below their polling in 2006, the last midterm election that Democrats won control, when final polls showed them with an 11.5 percent advantage, although their actual margin was 7.9 percent. A basic Democratic structural disadvantage is that the district lines generally do not favor them, both because of the way districts are drawn and because Democrats tend to cluster in enclaves while Republicans are more spread out. But beyond the technical issue of district lines, Democrats have the challenge of keeping the enthusiastic support of their anti-Trump base voters while convincing swing voters that they plan to address issues of practical consequence to voters (like, for example, health care) rather than concentrating all of their attention on investigations and possible impeachment of the President. It is not at all clear that the people likely to determine this election will be voting for two more years of very high decibel conflict in Washington.

When Port Authority Police Officer Anthony Catuogno and retired-FDNY Firefighter Keith Murphy met on their first day of kindergarten, there was no way they could have known how tightly their lives would intertwine over the next four decades. With the close-knit neighborhood of Rego Park, Queens as the backdrop, Anthony and Keith would go on to become and stay best friends, separately survive both attacks on the World Trade Center, and eventually become brothers-in-law by marrying sisters Kari and Kimberly McFarland. It was this last life event that ultimately brought the foursome, along with third sister Jennifer, to Los Angeles this past May to appear on the wildly popular television show Family Feud. After several rounds of auditions the family, competing under the McFarland banner, beat out a host of other hopefuls to play in an episode airing October 15th. While the McFarlands are contractually obligated to stay quiet about details until the airing on Monday, they were open to talking about the road that brought them there. “We grew up in a very competitive gaming family. Board games, card games, video games, and always watching game shows. There wasn’t a game show we didn’t love,” said Kari, a resi-

The McFarland family with Steve Harvey on the set of Family Feud. dent of Port Washington as is her sister Jennifer. “But our all-time favorite was Family Feud.” Adds Anthony, “When we were dating, Kari told me that one day we were going to be on Family Feud, but I didn’t think she was serious. I should have known better since she had already been on three other game shows while in college.” So, when Kim Murphy, now from Garden City, came across an audition opportunity in nearby Connecticut last year, the entire family was immediately on board. They, along with Jennifer’s husband Brendan Magee, attended the audition with 450 other families while wearing matching t-shirts made to

stand out among the crowd. Finally, in March the family received the call inviting them to fly out to Los Angeles to play with Steve Harvey. Although they auditioned with six family members, the producers could only select five to play the game on television. Ultimately, Brendan was cut. “I was bummed to be cut, but happy that Jen and her sisters were finally going to live out their childhood dream of being on The Feud!”, says Brendan. Judy McFarland, the girls’ mother, flew out west to witness her family’s dream come true. “It was fun to be a part of it from behind the scenes since we’ve all talked about this since they

were little girls,” said Judy McFarland the girls’ mother. Still, there were obstacles to overcome before this dream had a chance at becoming a reality. Jennifer, who was born hearing impaired and has a cochlear implant, was worried she would not be able to hear the questions accurately amid the white noise of a television studio. The family gathered the night before the taping to pray for good sound quality. “When Steve read the first question to my sister, I didn’t hear it and it was my turn to answer next,” recalled Jen. “I was really nervous, because everyone was laughing at the question and I had no idea what it was.” When they broke for the commercial, the family alerted the producers that Jen was struggling with the sound quality on stage and they were quick to come up with suggestions and solutions for getting her through the rest of taping. That helped put all of their minds at rest so they could focus on the rest of the game. With all of the excitement and preparation for the journey to Family Feud, the McFarland family says being on the game show surpassed all of their expectations. The McFarland family’s journey on Family Feud will air Monday, October 15th on WWOR Channel 9 at 6:30PM.

representative for LIRR, was joined by LIRR Senior Director of External Affairs Hector Garcia who addressed the WPOA crowd at their meetings on April 11 of this year and over a year ago, in September 2017, While the pair were given credit from residents and EPOA leaders for attending, responding to calls, emails and inquiries, and listening to residents’ questions, at this week’s meeting the onus was placed on them to see what can be done to move the disturbances away from homes in the East and to restore people’s quality of life during overnight hours. Lockel soon provided her cell phone number and she said “please feel free to text and call me at anytime, including 2 a.m.” As a result of the complaint calls from Garden City, the LIRR brought officials and higher-ups on scene to investigate. But there may be more pieces to the puzzle of noisy nights on the LIRR tracks, starting with the transport and cutting of pieces of rail.

Materials to be delivered

Garcia described part of the work taking place at areas of the LIRR tracks as loading and delivering 350-foot-long pieces of new rails that run through the area, and he says the cutting noises occur during daytime. “East of Commercial Boulevard off of Clinton Road is the area where they’re dropping the new rails. Some trains delivering are 800-feet-long and the track gets backed up and they move back and forth. It does run along an area close to homes, but after that there is only one rail that they use, an access rail. The track along St. James has no passenger service but the trains that are idling there are coming from areas where there are running train lines -- right now, some of the rails brought in here just last week came from the Syosset line,” Garcia said. Residents complained that the LIRR is working on pre-construction materials for its projects further down in the future, but the noisy beginning is a result of 350-feet of new rails scraping on by homes in the East. Lockel told the audience the LIRR’s contracted workers create noise from the actual cutting of ties on rails “to then transport them to a different location. “We are in the course of our regular track maintenance, and we’re going through our tracks system-wide and having the work done here. To do day-to-day notification for that is a little challenging,” she said. The cutting of rails during overnight hours was discussed before residents probed the LIRR officials on an obvious solution; why aren’t the LIRR’s activities taking place further down going East, into industrial areas south of Stewart Avenue and away from Garden City houses. Hector Garcia replied that this was “what they should be doing.” “We are being told work is done in the commercial areas, but residents

are telling us that it takes place over here,” he said. Lockel said she became aware of the recent incidents as soon as they occurred, at 2 a.m. at the start of October. “The overnight work is something we will look at,” she said. Former EPOA President Christine Mullaney asked Garcia and Lockel if there has traditionally been LIRR work and activity scheduled in residential communities on Long Island for overnight hours, and Garcia gave a vague reply of “it depends where in the system you are at, some work happens at night and some happens during the day.” Lockel added that some communities express to the LIRR that they are upset by night work, and the LIRR “works with different strategies to help those communities.”

Move work away from homes?

Village Trustee Hyer implored the LIRR representatives to find out if and when the work disturbing residents, specifically in the Washington Road to Clinton Road stretch, can instead take place further down in the industrial commercial areas only. Lockel said “that’s the issue” before she said the inquiry with the LIRR leadership will be made. Garcia says the management of taking rail deliveries off and having adequate space allocated would be part of the oversight. “As they continue doing work the trains’ cars are broken up and are moving back and forth on the line, they have to take the stuff off, etc.” he said. Lockel suggested another site visit as residents pushed for that to happen starting at 2 a.m. or later. A resident of Avalon apartments said she wanted to know the full timeline of any more LIRR work and the expectancy of noisy nighttime hours. By December she has to choose whether or not to renew her lease at Avalon. The idea of Avalon Bay’s business (renting apartments) facing direct negative impacts of work on the LIRR was brought up by EPOA members, and some suggested that tenants of Avalon lobby their building management and its corporate leaders to combat the LIRR’s disruptions to quality of life. Other residents detailed their concepts on what activity is planned for the LIRR tracks that has not become public knowledge. Several people lamented the fact that in all the years they have lived in Garden City, every time the LIRR has had work on its tracks there has been little to no notice given to residents. EPOA President Tom Hogan and Trustee Mark Hyer commented on a positive note, there is the opportunity to contact Lockel and Garcia, “a positive start” and both of them have been receptive to calls and emails about the issues. Another East resident said it appears the LIRR starts out its projects “just being thoughtless, without basic consideration, and then doing damage

control every time there is a problem brought up to their attention.” Lockel reiterated her responsibility of community relations to the EPOA audience. “Even though you think that our tracks become a recycling area for rail, it is not. I understand that there’s a lot of unfavorable things happening in this area that we need to look at. We are working diligently with many communities to clear up this frustration. I want to work with you guys on being a good neighbor,” Lockel said. One East section homeowner asked the LIRR to provide copies of the zoning variances it has obtained from Garden City or the Town of Hempstead to begin such intense, noisy work in the neighborhood (on the tracks and any or all LIRR property). “What gives the LIRR the right to come in and do this work in the middle of the night in the first place?” he asked. Lockel soon replied to him that the rail lines are LIRR property, and “we are going to continue working on the Long Island Rail Road, system-wide. The LIRR is at capacity and we are using all of our space. I will not tell you that we are not going to be working on the lines,” she said. Another East resident, a gentleman with a career background in the insurance industry, asked the LIRR officials who their carrier is for their equipment risk insurance policy on these and other projects, and Garcia answered that the LIRR is required to be self-insured. The resident said that coverage was not possible given what his neighbors and many in the village have observed with the recent LIRR activities including the use of 350-foot pieces of metal on the tracks. Lockel and Garcia said they did not know further details of the LIRR’s insurances but they will get him the information on insurance policies he’s requested. The backup of trains can be attributed primarily to the length of each train, as Garcia explained it as a matter of where an entire train can fit and the idling taking place over a substantial portion of the track. He and Lockel told East residents that in 2018 the LIRR is basically bursting at its seams and over-capacity, so improvements and ongoing track work can be expected as it tries to improve efficiency system-wide.

Garcia told residents a measure in place to help monitor and shut off idling trains along the tracks, a new initiative the LIRR calls “Smart Start” -- a device that can be utilized system-wide that will shut off a train after one consecutive hour that it idles. “In some cases a train is idling when it is waiting for its next instruction, depending on emergencies. But for the other times, when we know a train in this area will be idling for over an hour we will apply the Smart Start device and shut the train down after one hour. We know about ordinances on freight trains in effect in Garden City and that is not the case here; these are our work trains so there is the distinction,” Lockel said. Garcia says the LIRR is ‘on track’ to make sure its train engines have the necessary Smart Start capabilities. In 2009 a Queens-based TimesLedger newspaper article cited the potential use of Smart Start technology by the LIRR as it tried addressing noise issues with diesel locomotives at its Long Island City railyard, near the entrance to the Queens-Midtown Tunnel. Nearly a decade ago, the local Queens community had brought up the LIRR’s idling trains and the intolerable noise level they created, observed generally between the daylight hours of 7 a.m. and 6 p.m., to the attention of the community board and candidates for the New York City Council.

Idling trains an issue

On Tuesday as Lockel spoke about the LIRR’s idling trains lining a quiet Garden City neighborhood all night, she said the noise was from diesel engines on the trains, and not freight-carrying trains. She said for trains along lines in the East, there can be cues from activity down each train line such as a backup that can create the need for idling. “From the standpoint of addressing idling trains we have gone out there with the LIRR president (Eng) to different locations of Garden City to hear the trains and look into complaints firsthand….I have spoken with many residents and received your calls, texts, emails and pictures at all hours of the night, and we log the complaints in. We came prepared tonight to address some issues that have come up for the Garden City community. We want to continue an ongoing dialogue with residents and get to a better place, where we envision a more favorable outcome,” Lockel said.

LIRR neighbors object to idling trains, night noise

Board of Trustees debates fate of western fire station From page 1

fit inside the station’s bays. Delany said that project could escalate costs of renovation to over $3 million and he believes the Village Board could make a better choice by demolishing Station No. 2 and replacing it with a new standard, no-frills industrial building.

No generic steel shed here

The specifics of what Trustee Delany suggested were debated by the Board at the October 4 meeting, as Trustee Louis Minuto, who has a career specialty in architecture and innovative design, said replacing Station No. 2 with a generic “steel shed” for a new firehouse would be a bad move and a building not befitting the character of his hometown, Garden City. “I support the village having all its facilities functional and in conditions that work, and I understand the site visit and the problems and leaks observed, but replacing Station No. 2 and tearing it down to put up a no-frills, prefabricated steel barn is just something I would never support. I think there would be a breakdown of repairs and a way of prioritizing the completion of what Station No. 2 needs, and value-engineer it and make the costs involved palatable. Even a new prefab building would be up there in costs, and we are kidding ourselves to think it would not be at least a couple million dollars, no matter how quick and easy it can appear,” Trustee Minuto explained. Later in the discussion Trustee Delany clarified that he wasn’t suggesting some steel shed go up, rather the least expensive option to build a functional and modern firehouse. “We should at least look into the possibility of replacing the building with a less expensive (material) new building that can handle our fire department’s potential equipment. A newer facility should be able to handle parking the apparatus, a kitchen, utility and storage and -- if the price was right -- another type of room for meetings, one that perhaps some of our civic organizations could use. I want to suggest that our village administrator (Suozzi) and Public Works start investigatory work on what a new facility would cost. I would like us to consider this opportunity now, so that with the budget finalizations in February and March 2019 we are not running around and scrambling to learn the potential costs involved -- I just do not see Station No. 2 as repairable at any cost that would make sense for the village,” Delany said. Trustee Mark Hyer asked Fire Chief Brian Gallo to explain what the current guidelines for fire apparatus indicate and whether the village’s fire fleet could fit into the dimensions Station No. 2 has at present. Chief Gallo told the Board in his 27 years in firefighting, most of the times stations have not been upgraded to meet standards dictated by the larg-

er apparatus (trucks) and equipment needs. “Many years ago the proposal was to move Garden City’s Village Hall and fire headquarters into St. Paul’s and that idea presented problems and it never did occur, obviously. With today’s technology fire apparatus has gotten wider, higher and longer. These are diesel vehicles now made with the GAF system; an additional tank and additional system that works to burn the diesel cleanly. When you add that with fire apparatus’ new safety features and braking systems plus technology and recording devices, the apparatus is built bigger. Out of our four fire engines only two could fit into Fire Station No. 2’s bay. The specific fit and folding in mirrors can cause a delay for fire response as you have to pull the engine out of the narrow bay with its mirrors folded,” he said. Gallo spoke with Cameron Engineering about the aesthetic appeals of Station No. 2 and told them the village prefers to keep it rather than demolish it. But he says Cameron did not address the size of its bay as it pertains to departmental function. “The reason they did not address it is because the second floor of the station is a huge, thick concrete slab as many years ago the plan was to use it as a repair facility for police department vehicles. They really can’t do much with the huge slab right there, and that prevents engineers from plans to widen the bays which is the major problem here because the apparatus will not fit in there,” the chief explained. Trustee Minuto said as a professional he doesn’t agree that the bay can’t be widened due to existing conditions at the station. He understands that the village has the consultation from one engineering firm, and they may have been looking at the station’s conundrum from the wrong perspective. Minuto suggests that Garden City instruct Cameron to consider widening the bay as its starting point should be “to keep the building and fit fire department equipment/ apparatus.” He believes a project to do so can be designed if the focus is readjusted. Some ideas Trustee Minuto suggested included pitching the bay or driveway underground to accommodate apparatus height and possible changes for the rear of Station No. 2. He used a golf reference to solve a Garden City firehouse issue: “There is a big fairway out there and we can hit it a million different ways. I don’t agree with the idea that we can’t widen up the station’s bays,” he said. Deputy Mayor Theresa Trouvé added that her daughter lives right near Station No. 2 and she has taken a closer look at the facility since ideas of evaluating fire stations was approved just over a year ago.

A beautiful old building

“I too have a problem with the idea of demolishing Station No. 2 as the aesthetic value of it is important to our village. Every time we take down one of the beautiful older Garden City buildings we diminish the atmosphere of this village. It’s a brick station with tile roof, a very beautifully-designed structure. I don’t want to be unreasonable but Trustee Delany has described a new building that would be very utilitarian. This station is already a good-looking building. We CAN preserve the feeling and character of that building because there is land in back of it and on the side. We could get rid of the concrete slab and leave the beauty of the front, but make the station bigger so we could fit the fire apparatus and equipment in there,” she said. As reported in The Garden City News in September 2017 the village decided on a project to review the three village firehouses’ “facility conditions,” formalized with a Board of Trustees’ vote on September 21: “To accommodate the comprehensive study, the Board approved a transfer of $62,500 budgeted towards the Contingent fund for 20172018 into the “Capital Projects – Fire Station Renovations” budget, which was originally $50,000. The total allocated towards the structural study of the three stations is $112,500, awarded to Cameron Engineering & Associates LLP of Woodbury.” On October 4, Trustee Hyer suggested a plan to hire another engineering consultant. Trustee Minuto said he is primarily hoping for “new parameters to set the engineers out on” with the assignment of reviewing the station. Trustee Bolebruch, who represents the Western POA, added to the discussion and said he’s heard the specific conditions of each fire station from Chief Gallo and Cameron Engineering. “We’ve looked at the three firehouses and the one here (at Village Hall) is in the best shape; the one in the East (Station No. 3) also needs work. The bottom line in our conversations is that the requirements and needs of the village fire department today have changed from prior generations. “We have gone to an entirely volunteer firefighter force and some of the things we need to adhere to, items we’re required to follow, these requirements would not be met with conditions at the two of our stations today. With this in mind the amount of money we’d need to spend is far less than what was originally projected; we needed to examine the collective costs. I see Station No. 2 as a beautiful beautiful building and I’m in the middle of the concepts...on one hand I see where Trustee Delany is going with this and I recognize the needs as Station No. 2 was built for a different time, a different era. It is just falling apart even though it is beautiful to look

at. The holes are so bad in some of its walls that animals are coming through them,” Bolebruch said.

Various options available

Village Administrator Suozzi said he spoke with Cameron at the onset of its review of village firehouses and made them aware of both opinions; preserving or demolishing Station No. 2. “Cameron was not given instruction other than to tell us what the building needs to get it back into normal and functional health, able to meet code. That came to a $2 to $2.5 million price tag with contingencies and these were guesstimates, not specs based on bid documents. When Cameron started the concepts to expand the station and make it functional, they adhered to the saying ‘form follows function’ and the form that building was built to was the function of yesterday. To make it functional for tomorrow, its form has to change. Cameron was asked to look at preservation of the structure with the original look. But the option of making it functional by expanding and restoring the station’s front and facade to the original look would be about a $5 to $6 million option. In between there are several options,” Suozzi explained. Mayor Brian Daughney asked Chief Gallo about the potential for widening and raising of bays of Station No. 2. That led the Board to consider the current fleet of fire department apparatus. Chief Gallo said eventually there will be three pieces of fire apparatus in Station No. 2 including two fire engines and either the village’s antique fire truck or the trailer/ Fire Prevention Day vehicle used to haul fire department equipment. At Village Hall (Fire Station No. 1) Gallo said one engine, two ladder trucks and one heavy rescue fire vehicle are parked/stationed. One engine is stationed at Fire Station No. 3 in the East (Clinton Road). “It sounds like what we need to do is tell Cameron Engineering if we basically kept the building and made a shell of Station No. 2 what ways are there to give the fire department the functions it requires,” Daughney said. Trustee Colleen Foley tried to quantify the project with three bays for apparatus and the kitchen for volunteers to use. Trustee Minuto added that the village, in particular Chief Gallo and the administration must “give Cameron their program for each of the three firehouses.” He suggested a plan to ‘gut’ Station No. 2 and start from scratch to build the interior up to code, rather than altering the exterior dramatically.

From page 3 as staging areas “it is not a done deal for (3TC) to use the Cow or Tullamore Park. He asked 3TC about the frequency of use of construction staging areas and the officials said the right-of-ways, in 3TC’s view, can be like a 12-foot piece of real estate. They contend that there would be less disturbance to the village and residents if the consortium has access to two (both) proposed staging areas, not just Tullamore or just the Cow. Brennan said 3TC said it isn’t an “either/or situation” as the group wants to talk with the village and its residents about using both sites. Tom Marcoux of Kildare Road has lived in Garden City for 36 years. He spoke during public comment at last Thursday’s meeting and said the goals behind the Third Track project are very important to the New York region and to Garden City, but he sees a big challenge literally in front of him and his neighbors on Kildare Road as his own backyard bordering Tullamore Park. “I realize the amount of inconveniences that everyone (at the meeting) who lives in the area -- on Kildare, Wickham Road, and others that end on Main Avenue would be tremendous. I think the taking of Tullamore Park and use of it as the Third Track’s staging area would be unconscionable, and I ask our mayor and Board of Trustees to SAY NO,” he said. When Trustee Louis Minuto spoke about the tradeoff of rights for them to use the staging areas they request versus the amount of time that could be shaved off their portions of the project in the next few years and reducing their presence on Garden City side streets, the 3TC team was not able to quantify how much project time could be saved.

Tangible benefits questioned

The Board of Trustees agreed that 3TC should come back to them with

something measurable for the idea to warrant formal consideration. Trustee John Delany said otherwise, there was no compelling reason to vote on the use of village parks without critical evidence and any tangible benefit for Garden City. Access gates to LIRR tracks (at the LIRR right-of-ways) and local roadways inside Garden City will be used as trucks will be delivering material for construction teams to work with. While big tractor trailers won’t be traveling throughout the village for these deliveries, material will be transported here from the 3TC depot yard in Hicksville. A senior construction manager from 3TC addressed the Board and residents and said they should approach the construction teams if there’s any problems or issues, such as an idling truck or any vehicle blocking someone’s street or driveway for even a few minutes. The 3TC representatives spoke about the professionalism and experience of their field teams, saying that most people who will work in this initial stage for the Third Track project are bringing 20 years’ construction site experience or more. Incentive clauses within 3TC’s contract for the project call for up to $4 million to be added on for the consortium “acting as a good neighbor” to residents and communities impacted by the Third Track. When residents, in particular those nearest the tracks, learned of that detail at the October 4 meeting they suggested 3TC should be distributing surveys for the village to provide feedback to those reviewing the contractors’ work.

Trustee asks for outline of work

At the Board meeting Trustee Stephen Makrinos asked 3TC for a clear outline of work on Covert Avenue in the village’s northwest corridor. Brennan said Covert Avenue work is technically not inside Garden City but many people

here will likely utilize the roadways there daily. “We anticipate starting work on and closing Covert in February and as contractors we have the obligation to return that road to completion, with perhaps a few punchlist items outstanding, to reopen that road to full traffic within six months. What we have been obligated to do by the LIRR is to not close two major roadways in the vicinity at the same time. But unlike Covert Avenue our closures on New Hyde Park Road will not be full closures at any point and we will always maintain vehicular traffic there,” he said.

Presentations planned

The 3rd Track Constructors’ team was introduced on October 4 by Andy Kraus, a Third Track project ambassador and senior vice president of strategy for public relations firm Epoch5 based in Huntington, the village’s prior communication consultants on issues including the proposed layoffs of paid fire staff in 2016. On Tuesday October 9, Kraus was set to address the CPOA crowd at the Golf Club Lane senior center. At the CPOA’s May 8, 2018 meeting, Deputy Mayor Theresa Trouvé alluded to the Third Track project’s ‘preconstruction’ phase for Garden City that 3rd Track Constructors now has on the schedule, as it involves work on the surface and the subsurface or subterranean areas. “The LIRR will compile all the data and knowledge they need to start the construction process. We want you to know the schedules and the LIRR has done much outreach to the people in the Western section of the village. They have hired the Epoch5 public relations firm, and the Village Board of Trustees knows that firm and has used that firm, they do a good job. Epoch5 will serve as liaisons between the residents who will be impacted by the project and the LIRR so they can respond more quickly to anything that may go wrong. Believe

me there may be slips and problems as construction progresses,” Trouvé explained to the CPOA in May. Last week Kraus stated that 3rd Track Constructors met with Superintendent of Schools Dr. Kusum Sinha recently to discuss students and families’ safety as well as potential impacts on school bus routes. Discussions on the community safety aspect has also involved Garden City Police Commissioner Kenneth Jackson and other GCPD officials, as well as the fire chiefs of the all-volunteer village fire department and the village administration staff. Meetings with Garden City’s four property owners’ associations have also taken shape, starting with a few gatherings at the Western POA in 2017 and this year in front of all four civic organizations. Kraus called the 3rd Track Constructors group “a construction consortium” and presented the companies involved: John P. Picone Inc., Dragados USA, Halmar International LLC and CCA Civil -- a unit of China Construction America. A joint venture of CCA Civil, Inc. and Halmar International, LLC gained recognition for their collaboration with other firms on the New York City subway system’s $2.4 billion extension of the No. 7 subway line in Manhattan to the Jacob Javits Center, an eightyear project with the extension passing beneath the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey’s bus terminal. The LIRR’s community information center is open on weekdays, by-appointment-only, at 114 Old Country Road in Mineola. Concerned or interested parties can contact officials at LIRRexpansion. com or AModernLI.com to ask questions. The 3TC organization is operating its local project headquarters out of 900 Merchants Concourse in Westbury, by the former Fortunoff building. The 24-hour hotline for the project can be reached at 516-203-4955 and via email at CommunityOutreach@3TC.com.

Mrs. Braddick’s class takes in the opera Stewart and Stratford fifth graders attend La Fanciulla Del West

The Dratches arrive at The Met in Lincoln Center A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops. - Henry Adams How many of us can say “I’ve been to the Metropolitan Opera House at Lincoln Center?” Many would answer, “Never.” But thousands of Garden City children can answer, “I went when I was an elementary school student.” What started as a music teacher’s dream eighty years ago has continued as a rich tradition in Garden City. In 1935, Helen Plinkiewisch began teaching music at Stewart School and introduced her students to opera. She helped them design an abbreviated form of an opera performed by the Met. Her dream of teaching students to perform opera would be referred to today as “project-based learning”. Musical performances, such as the opera, provide students with opportunities to learn and grow in the areas

of music, theater, movement, dance and visual arts. Students can hone their artistic skills, build confidence, and find talents they may have never known, all while working as a team. Educators believe it is a powerful strategy for integrated instruction. To prepare her students for their stage debut, Mrs. Plinkiewisch escorted a small group of children to the original Opera House for the Metropolitan Guild’s first student matinée performance, beginning a tradition that would span 80 years. Garden City students were one of the first student groups to attend the Met’s student matinée performances. Since the first matinée in 1935, the Guild has introduced the experience of a live opera to hundreds of thousands of students including thousands of Garden City children. This annual excursion is much more than a school field trip, it is unique cultural experience, unlike

Students talk about the first act at intermission anything a child may ever experience. The PTA has been proud to sponsor the trip to the Metropolitan Opera. The earliest records indicate PTA’s fundraising efforts helped sponsor this trip even before the Garden City Parent Teacher Association was chartered in 1945. In the early 1970’s, the community felt all students in the district should benefit from this opportunity and expanded the program to include Stratford School students. Since then, both schools have attended this annual trip. Today, the PTA sponsors the subscription to the Met on behalf of the district and parents contribute by paying for the buses chartered by the district. Finding a performance to accommodate 300 students, plus teachers, staff, and chaperones on the same day is not

always easy. But thanks to Dr. Prasso, Ms. Norton, Mrs. Vota, Mrs. Grace and Mrs. Lavine, it is done! This team of educators selects the performance as soon as the Met’s calendar is published in late June. Coordinating this effort takes the dedication and hard work of the district staff and PTA volunteers. Teachers prepare the students for the trip by studying the opera they are going to see and discussing the history of the Met itself. On October 1st, Stewart and Stratford fifth-grade students were treated to a dress rehearsal of Puccini’s romantic epic of the California Gold Rush: La Fanciulla Del West. This year’s fifth graders joined a long legacy of Garden City children who have benefited from the love and dedication of Mrs. Plinkiewisch.

Thunder 9s battle against Warriors

‘Harry Potter: A History of Magic’ is Spellbinding Exhibit at New-York Historical Society BY KAREN RUBIN TRAVEL FEATURES SYNDICATE GOINGPLACESFARANDNEAR.COM “Harry Potter: A History of Magic”, the newly opened exhibit at the New-York Historical Society Museum & Library only on view until January 27, is a must-see on so many levels. It isn’t just for fans of J.K. Rowling’s phenomenal series, where you get extraordinary insights into her creative process through glimpses at original handwritten drafts and drawings, but insights into the history of magic – the centuries of folklore, myth and legend - that provided the foundation for her stories. Here you see the original documents and artifacts which make you realize (for the first time), how Rowling drew on history and tradition, and how magic and witchcraft actually provided the foundation of science and discovery. “Abracadabra,” we learn, is an incantation believed to have healing powers, first recorded by Quintus Serenus Sammanicus, physician to the Roman Emperor Caracalla. He prescribed that the word be repeatedly written out, each time leaving off one letter. The charm was then worn as an amulet around the neck to drive out fever. We see it described in “Liber Medicinalis,” a 13th century book from Canterbury. The invisibility cloak that Harry

The exhibit, “Harry Potter: A History of Magic” at the New-York Historical Society is laid out as if you were walking through Hogwarts, with the galleries themed for the different subjects: Potions, Alchemy, Herbology, Charms, Astronomy, Divination, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Care of Magical Creatures © Karen Rubin/ goingplacesfarandnear.com Potter wore? There actually was an incantation for invisibility that we can see in a mid-17th century spell book owned by a contemporary of Shakespeare. A 4th century papyrus scroll turns out to be an ancient Greek handbook of magic that contains a love charm. Mandrake roots really do look like men (or women) and the legend of them screaming when pulled out

by the roots, causing insanity, was documented across cultures; we see descriptions in Arabic and Italian books. We get to see a mandrake root, which indeed looks like a shriveled old man in anguish. The Philosopher’s Stone that plays such a key role for Harry Potter (it was renamed the Sorcerer’s Stone for American readers)? This was the quest of

G O I N G P L A C E S N E A R A N D F A R

alchemists, who sought to create the elixir of immortal life and turn ordinary metal into gold – in essence, harnessing the energy of the universe and its power. The “recipe” for the Philosopher’s Stone was believed to be prescribed in The Ripley Scroll. We get to see an actual Ripley Scroll, from See page D2

Continued from page D1 around 1570 England, exquisite in its color, unfurled over 20 feet, one of only 22 known to still exist. This one is on loan from the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale University. The scroll takes its name from George Ripley, a canon at Bridlington Priory in northern England and author of “The Compound of Alchymy.” The scroll, full of mystical symbolism, supposedly gives clues to how to make the key red, white and black stones that together would form the Philosopher’s Stone. Rowling wove these symbols into her characters: Rubeus Hagrid (rubeus is Latin for “red); Albus Dumbledore (albus is Latin

for “white”) and Sirius Black, Harry’s three father figures. We get to see a copy of Culpepper’s Herbal, describing the medicinal properties of herbs, the first medical text to be published in English (instead of Latin), so as to break the monopoly of wealthy, educated in having this knowledge. Culpepper was accused of witchcraft in 1642, but acquitted. The book is still in print and we learn from Rowling that she possesses two copies. We get to see the actual tombstone of Nicolas Flamel, an actual person! who was a landlord and bookseller in medieval Paris who married a rich woman and became a philanthropist. His interest in alchemy was apparently

sparked after he obtained a mystical book was written by a man called Abraham the Jew in Greek, Hebrew and other languages. Following his death in 1418, rumors began to circulate that Flamel was an alchemist who had discovered how to make the Philosopher’s Stone, and turn metal into gold. He was buried in the church of Saint-Jacques-de-la Boucherie in Paris, his grave marked by this tombstone. But years later, when the body was exhumed, there was no body. Some believe he escaped to India, and with the elixir, still lives. The exhibition, a cerebral celebration marking the 20th anniversary of the US publication of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, captures the traditions of folklore and magic at the heart of the Harry Potter stories. Based on Harry Potter: A History of Magic, a British Library exhibition, with some special New York twists, it combines centuryold treasures—including rare books, manuscripts, and magical objects from the British Library, New-York Historical Society, and other collections—with original material from Harry Potter’s U.S. publisher Scholastic and J.K. Rowling’s own archives, never before collected in one place, and items that have never been shown before. And this exhibit is the only other place where it will be shown, before the items go back to their respective museums, which include the Museum of Witchcraft and Magic, in Cornwall. The entertaining aspect is in the exhibition’s presentation, as if you are wandering through Hogwarts, with the galleries organized around the Hogwarts’ curriculum for witches: Potions, Alchemy, Herbology, Charms, Astronomy, Divination, Defense

Against the Dark Arts, Care of Magical Creatures – each one showing the historical and cultural traditions that underlie Rowling’s fantastical world and her creative process. It is as if instead of J.K. Rowling inventing the Hogwarts curriculum, she graduated from it. It also means that all of us, children and adults, who were so enrapt in the Harry Potter saga of witchcraft and magic 20 years ago, have a whole new dimension for appreciating Rowling’s masterpiece from a mature perspective. The exhibit is captivating on so many levels – Rowling’s personality and creative process, you get so many insights into her as a person, and the connection to history and tradition at the heart of mythology. Also, we get to see the evolution of science from magic and spiritualism. Rowling faithfully represented these traditions – even the names she chose for her characters relate back to these traditions, symbolically or literally. In Potions & Alchemy, we see a copy of Jacob Meydenbach’s 1491 edition of Hartus Sanitatis (Latin for “The Garden of Health”), the first printed cyclopedia of natural history, which actually includes a hand-colored woodcut illustration of a potions class. One of the plants described, blue hellebore, was the plant Harry Potter forgot to add in his Draught of Peace. We see an actual bezoar stone, which was believed to be an antidote to poison, first introduced into medieval Europe by Arab physicians. They were expensive to buy and owners often kept their stones in elaborate cases. Here we see a bezoar stone in a gold filigree case from the 17th century.

The Herbology section is particularly fascinating: Here we see an illustration from a 15th century illustrated herbal by Giovanni Cadamasto that describes mandrakes (mandragara) that could cure headaches, earache, gout and insanity. Just as Rowling depicted, the plant was said to be particularly hazardous to harvest because the shrieks from the roots cause madness. “The best way to obtain it safely was to unearth its roots with an ivory stake, attaching the plant to a dog with a card. A horn would sound, drowning out the shrieking, startling the dog and causing it to drag out the mandrake.” We actually get to see a mandrake root and how much it resembles a prone shriveled man who appears anguished. The description of mandrake is also from a 14th century Arabic text, originally in Ancient Greek by Pedanius Dioscorides, a botanist. We see implements of “magical gardening” of bone and antler, on loan from the Museum of Watchcraft & Magic, Boscastle, Cornwall. There is an original copy of a book by Elizabeth Blackwell (one of the first women physicians), “A Curious Herbal,” published in London in 173738. She was desperate to raise money to spring her husband Alexander from debtor prison, so made drawings that she took to Alexander to identify, which

she then published in parts on a weekly basis, eventually detailing 500 plants. An 1807 edition of Robert John Thornton’s “The Temple of Flora,” an elaborate botany book that nearly bankrupted Thornton to produce (it was originally titled, “The New Illustration of the Sexual System of Linnaeus”). There is an illustration of Dragon arum (Dracunculus vulgaris), also known as stink lily, which reproduces the smell of putrefying meat to attract flies for pollination. In Charms, we see a copy of Cotton Mather’s “The Wonders of the Invisible World,” published in London in 1693 (from the New-York Historical Society Library), in which he justified the Salem witchcraft trials. This is the area which gives some attention to the way witches were depicted, when in essence, they were shaman, healers, who were extraordinarily connected to the natural world, and in fact, the first scientists and doctors. We see the earliest printed illustration of a witch, from 1489, depicting witches as powerful and dangerous. “The Iconography went on to influence image of witches for centuries. The printing press was new – like video of the time.” Here we see a colorful broomstick belonging to Olga Hunt, a 20th century witch of Manatan, Devon (from the

The connection with witchcraft and broomsticks developed during the witch hysteria of 16th and 17th century Europe. Olga was supposed to have used it to leap around Dartmoor on a full moon.

Inhaling the unique scents, sounds and sights of Fall! BY CLAIRE LYNCH

Many writers have written about the beautiful sights and sounds of fall. Trees light up their leaves in magnificent displays of color. The 2000 film “Autumn in New York” with Richard Gere and Winona Ryder shows off the fall leaves of Central Park beautifully. When the leaves have to be raked and bagged, those piles seem just perfect for jumping into and frolicking about. When the temperatures change, when the air always seems to feel crisp and new – these are just some of the things that are perfect about the season of autumn. Here are some more.

A Pumpkin Has to Be Just Right

To carve a perfect pumpkin, you have to first choose a perfect pumpkin. I look for a pumpkin that feels firm and heavy for its size. One that has consistent coloring is good and one that is fresh - with a solidly attached stem - is best. Just a few days before Halloween is the best time to start carving the jack-o’-lantern. I trace the eyes, nose and mouth on the pumpkin then carve with a small, sharp knife. The experts say that the right way to carve a pumpkin is to open up the bottom, not the top. Cut a sizeable round from the bottom of the pumpkin and use a metal

spoon to scrape out all the seeds and membrane then discard that part. Use a paper towel to dry the exterior and the interior of the pumpkin. This will make it easier to handle, so you’ll be less likely to have it slip out of your hands. Decorating dining room tables or windowsills with jack-o’-lanterns always seems perfect to me for Halloween. Tis the season for ghosts, goblins, witches, tricks, trolls, treats and pranks. Enjoy!

Sometimes Fall Feels Like Winter …

I went outside at 7:30 a.m. on Nov. 20, 2017, with both arms full of packages when suddenly I felt something hit me lightly in my eye. My first reaction was to think that maybe a bird was flying by and, well you know the rest. Looking up at the sky, I saw that little snowflakes were falling softly. Amused at my unexpected reaction, I laughed right out loud. I noticed that the air felt raw. The sky was gray, ominous and wintry feeling - perfect conditions for snow. It continued to snow ever so lightly for two hours. The snow didn’t accumulate. It didn’t amount to much at all but people in the stores I went to all commented about the early snow. It was still fall after all. I like snow, love how pretty it looks when it’s falling and afterward, when everything is draped

in that pure white pristine, glistening snow. My world looks as pretty as a picture. But the truth is that I felt a bit cheated out of fall, out of part of an autumn season that of the four seasons, happens to be my favorite one. It always has been. According to the calendar, winter was still a month away.

Watching “The Worst Witch” Movie

Potions, spells and broomsticks. There are a lot of them in the British “The Worst Witch” TV series that some friends and I had the chance to watch on Netflix last year. While it’s primarily for kids, it was fun and held our attention partly due to some of the eccentric faculty’s performances. Based on the popular British children’s novels by Jill Murphy, “The Worst Witch” is a Netflix original series about a group of girls attending a magical boarding school called Miss Cackle’s Academy for witches. Mildred Hubble’s life changes when Maud Spellbody accidentally crashes her broom into her apartment on her way to the entrance exams at Cackle Academy. Mildred realizes that witches and magic really exist, but it’s not until she helps Maud get to the school that she discovers that she has some magical abilities of her own. Under the guidance of the school’s headmistress, Miss Ada Cackle, deputy headmistress

Hecate Hardbroom, and teachers like Miss Gullett and Miss Bat, Mildred and friends learn spells and potions as the students develop their unique talents. Along the way, they also encounter their arrogant classmate Ethel, the jealous younger sister of the academy’s model student, Esmeralda, and with Miss Agatha Cackle, the headmistress’ notorious twin evil sister. (commonsensemedia.org) On her rather unusual journey, Mildred Hubble strives not to be The Worst Witch. It was well written, well acted, had great costumes and sets, and a good musical score. And the movie’s ending? Well, I won’t divulge that part.

The Foliage Lights Up in the Fall

It’s a sure sign of fall on Long Island whenever I see a burning bush bloom. During the winter, spring and summer a burning bush shrub looks just like a plain old green shrub. The landscapers come every week to trim it – whenever they mow the lawn – but in the fall the burning bush shrubs light up. When I least expect it a see a bright red leaf, then another and when I look further, I see several of them. The shrub is also called a “winged burning bush” and usually grows to 10 feet tall at maturity. See page D6

Who Do You Trust? BY TOM MARGENAU

You know how sometimes one thing can lead to another? The other day, I was watching Jay Leno’s TV show, “Jay Leno’s Garage.” He was driving around in a car once owned by his “Tonight Show” predecessor, Johnny Carson. It was a car that Johnny grew up with -- his father’s 1939 Chrysler. Jay mentioned that Johnny had once done a TV special in which he drove that Chrysler back to Norfolk, Nebraska, and took viewers on a tour of his hometown. I remembered that show, so later that night, I rewatched it on YouTube. And, as I said, one thing leads to another, and I next watched a couple episodes of Johnny’s TV debut, a program called “Who Do You Trust?” So what’s all of this have to do with Social Security? Well that show’s title got me to thinking about emails I get from my readers. They frequently tell me what they heard from a representative at their local Social Security office. And, more often than I hoped would be necessary, I tell them that what they were told (or maybe what they thought they were told) is wrong. I then proceed to explain the way things really work. And I think I’ve done my job. But watching that old game show led me to wonder: “Who do you trust?” My readers heard one thing from a Social Security clerk and something else from me. So do they trust me? Or do they trust the clerk? Well, I’ve been doing this stuff for 45 years, and I think I’m pretty well versed in Social Security rules and regulations. And I hope that when people go back to their SSA office, they either learn that they misunderstood the agent the first time, or they get someone who verifies that what I told them was correct. Here are some examples of what I am talking about. Q: My wife is about to turn 65. We went to our Social Security office to sign her up for Social Security. I am 73. I started my Social Security at age 70. I get $2,788 per month. We said my wife wanted to file and restrict -- taking spousal benefits on my account and then saving her own until 70. The clerk said that would be fine. He said she would get half of my benefit now, or $1,394. Then at age 70, she could switch to $1,995 on her own record. We then asked about widow’s benefits when I die. He said she would get 82.5 percent of my benefit, or $2,300 per month. We decided to put everything on hold so we can think about it and ask you for your advice. What do you think? A: I think you either misunderstood what the Social Security agent was telling you. Or you got a clunker of a clerk. Because most of what you told me is messed up. First, your wife can only employ the

maximizing strategy called “file and restrict” if she is 66 years old. Second, even if your wife were 66 and wanted to file for spousal benefits on your record, she would not get half of your current benefit, which includes a 32 percent bonus that you got for delaying your own benefits until age 70. Her spousal rate would be based on your full retirement (age 66) benefit amount. And the widow’s rate the clerk quoted you is way off base. The 82.5 percent rate is close to the minimum amount a widow can receive. Assuming your wife is over age 66 when you die, she will get 100 percent of your retirement benefit, and this time it will include the extra money you are getting for delaying your retirement. So what are your wife’s options? If she does want to file at age 65, her only choice would be to take her own retirement benefit. She’d get about 92 percent of her full retirement rate. Or if she does want to do the “file and restrict” thing, she could wait until she is 66 and file for spousal benefits and get 50 percent of your full retirement rate. Then at 70, she could switch to 132 percent of her own retirement benefit. Q: I am 64 years old. I just got back from my Social Security office where I went to sign up. The clerk told me that I could collect my own Social Security now, and then later on, switch to higher benefits from my divorced husband. He is 72 and already getting his Social Security. She told me to come back when I was 66 to file for his benefits. She also mentioned something about widow’s benefits. But I was a little confused. Can you tell me what is going on? A: I wonder if you misunderstood what the Social Security representative was saying. She might have been telling you that when your ex-husband dies, you could switch to higher benefits on his record. In fact, assuming you are over age 66 when that happens, you would get 100 percent of his Social Security rate, less what you are getting on your own account. I hope that’s what the clerk was trying to tell you. Because if she was telling you that you could file for reduced retirement benefits now, and then later on switch to higher benefits on his record while he is still alive, then she was wrong. That’s because of the “deemed filing rule” that says this: If you file for one kind of Social Security benefit, you are deemed to be filing for any and all benefits you are due at the same time. So because your ex is already getting benefits, if you file for your retirement now, you must also file for divorced wife’s benefits now. You can’t wait until a later date and file for spousal benefits. Q: I turned 68 yesterday. I had previously decided not to file for my own benefits until I reach age 70. But financial circumstances forced me to change my mind. I need my benefits now. So imagine

my shock when I called Social Security and was told that once I made my decision to wait until 70, I can’t change my mind. Is this true? A: It is absolutely NOT true. You will have two choices. File now with no retroactivity. You will get your full benefit along with 24 months worth of “delayed retirement credits.” That means your ongoing benefit rate will be 116 percent

of your full rate. Your other option would be to take six months worth of retroactive benefits. Then your ongoing rate would be only 112 percent of your full rate, but you would get a big retroactive check. If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has the answer.

‘Harry Potter: A History of Magic’ is Spellbinding Exhibit at New-York Historical Society C ontinued from page D3 messages. We see a black moon crystal ball used by “Smelly Nelly,” a 20th-century British witch who used strong perfume to attract the spirits she believed helped her to see the future (on loan from Museum of Witchcraft & Magic, Cornwall). Nelly is reflected in Rowling’s character of Sybill Trelawney, Hogwarts Divination professor. There is also a 19th century fortunetelling doll from New-York Historical’s collection. Astronomy features a 1699 celestial globe by famed cartographer Vincenzo Coronelli, pages from a notebook compiled by the artist and inventor Leonardo da Vinci that show the sun and moon revolving around the Earth, and a 13th century astrolabe thought to be one of the oldest geared instruments in existence, from the American Museum of Natural History Library. Defense Against the Dark Arts features an actual wand, in the shape of a snake (snakes were magical because they were thought to have the ability to regenerate, and a wand in the shape of a snake would have been very powerful), and we learn that there are still wandmakers today who go to the woods where trees speak to them to be selected. There is also a magic staff (1998) carved from timber. The basilisk in mythology didn’t look like the snake-like creature in Harry Potter but was depicted as a strange chicken, the size of palm, but its stare would kill you, and the way to defeat it was not by sword but by weasels. Care of Magical Creatures features a 13th-century bestiary manuscript depicting a phoenix rising from the ashes, a narwhal tusk, and John James Audubon’s original watercolor of snowy owls, just like the snowy owl that Hagrid gave to Harry Potter. We see the oldest description of a Hippogriff: 16th century book on vellum paper given to George III –a magical creature that has the front legs, wings, and head of a giant eagle and the body, hind legs and tail of a horse. It is very similar to another mythical creature, the Griffin, with the horse rear replacing the lion rear. We see examples of unicorn (loaned from the Explorer’s Club), as well as an actual merman – a Japanese creation made by combining two fish with wire and cloth (worthy of P.T. Barnum). This is the first time it has been displayed outside the United Kingdom. This fascination with these strange new creatures reflects the era of exploration into strange new lands and

discovery of new creatures. This section features Rowling’s hand-written draft of “Deathly Hallows”, with her crossings out, notes to self and ”x” where she needed to add more providing this amazing insight into Rowling’s creative process. There is also her own illustration of Harry and Hagrid going to Gringots and Jim Kay’s drawing of Hagrid. These items were collected for the exhibition, basically tracing and providing original artifacts that underlie Rowling’s Harry Potter narrative, but it seems as if Rowling had already undertaken the Hogwarts curriculum herself. The exhibit brings together the source material that informed her inspiration. In the section, Past, Present and Future, one of the most fascinating items is Rowling’s own draft for the “Order of Phoenix” and her meticulous outline of plot and where the characters are, what they are doing. You see original cover art by Brian Selnick for the 2018 (20th anniversary) series, in which he unifies the seven covers as a single image that tells the story of the Boy Who Lived, which had never been displayed before, and models of set designs for the “Cursed Child” on Broadway, as well as an autographed screenplay of “Fantastic Beasts,” and an edition of “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” (as “Sorcerer’s Stone” was titled in United Kingdom). The New York presentation of the British Library’s Harry Potter: A History of Magic exhibition is special because it features Mary GrandPré’s pastel illustrations for the cover artwork of Scholastic’s original editions of the novels; Brian Selznick’s newly created artwork for the covers of the 20th anniversary edition of the Harry See page D6

Inhaling the unique scents, sounds and sights of Fall! C ontinued from page D3 This species is not originally from North America. It’s from central and northern China, Japan and Korea. This plant was brought here, to New England, during the 1860s for use as an ornamental bush. The name “burning bush” comes from the bright red fall color that shows that it could be on fire. In the Bible, the burning bush is an object described by the Book of Exodus as being located on Mount Horeb. According to the narrative, the bush was on fire but was not consumed by the flames. In the biblical narrative, the burning bush is the location where Moses was appointed by Adonai (God) to lead the Israelites out of Egypt and into Canaan.

Baking Some Delicious Apple Crisp

Apple crisp is a relatively modern dish. It is notably absent from the first edition of the “Fannie Farmer Cookbook” published in 1896, which is a comprehensive collection of American recipes. The earliest reference to apple crisp in print occurs in 1924, with a recipe in the “Everybody’s Cook Book: A Comprehensive Manual of Home Cookery,” by Isabel Ely Lord Harcourt Brace and Company: N.Y. in 1924. In 1924, apple crisp also makes an appearance in a newspaper article in the “Appleton Post Crescent” on December 9, 1924, in Appleton, Wisconsin. Despite its relatively recent invention, apple crisp or crumble has become an American and British tradition especially during the autumn, when there are plenty of apples. The dish is also very popular in Canada, especially in areas where berries and fruit are readily available. I got the following apple crisp recipe from bettycrocker.com:

Ingredients Fruit Mixture 3/4 cup granulated sugar 2 tablespoons Gold Medal™ self-rising flour 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 6 cups sliced peeled Golden Delicious apples (6 medium) Topping 1 cup Gold Medal™ self-rising flour 1 cup packed brown sugar 10 tablespoons butter or margarine 1 cup rolled oats 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Steps Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 13 x 9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with shortening or cooking spray. In large bowl, mix granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons flour and the cinnamon. Add apples, stir to coat evenly. Pour into baking dish. In medium bowl, mix 1 cup flour and the brown sugar. With pastry blender or fork, cut in butter until mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Stir in oats and pecans. Sprinkle crumb mixture evenly over fruit mixture. Bake 30 - 35 minutes or until topping is golden brown. Test it to make sure it is done.

The History of Armistice Day

Every year on November 11 Armistice Day is commemorated to mark the armistice signed between the Allies of World War I and Germany at Compiègne, France, for the end of hostilities on the Western Front of World War I, which took effect at eleven o’clock in the morning - the “eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month” of 1918. The date is a national holiday in France and was declared a national holiday in many Allied nations. In some

countries Armistice Day coincides with Remembrance Day and Veterans Day, and other public holidays. Armistice Day is not celebrated in Germany, but a German national day of mourning Volkstrauertag has since 1952 been observed on the Sunday closest to November 16. The first Armistice Day was held at Buckingham Palace when King George V hosted a “Banquet in Honour of the President of the French Republic” during the evening hours of November 10, 1919. The first official Armistice Day events were subsequently held on the grounds of Buckingham Palace on the morning of November 11, 1919. This would set the trend for a day of Remembrance for decades to come. In recent years Armistice Day has become increasingly recognized, and many people now attend the 11:00 a.m. ceremony at the Cenotaph in London - an event organized by Royal British Legion, a British charity dedicated to perpetuating the memory of those who served in the First World War and veterans of all subsequent wars involving British and Commonwealth troops. (wikipedia.org) Here in the U.S., Veterans Day honors American military veterans who are both living and dead.

Driving in Westport, Ct.

Last fall I visited my friend, Mary, at her home in Westport, Ct. It was mid-October and as I drove north on I-95 I couldn’t help but admire the scenery all around me. The leaves had changed to some extent on Long Island but I noticed that in southern Connecticut, the colors on the trees’ leaves were even more brilliant. The reds, oranges and browns were so vivid. When I exited I-95 for Westport I made a mental note of the directions to her house. I had met Mary back when I was a student at Fairfield

University. Even though Mary is 15 years older than I, we met at a church function, started chatting and hit it off. The two of us never seem to run out of things to talk about. We’ve kept in touch over the years and whenever I can, I drive to Westport to visit Mary and her family. In thinking of her directions, I kept thinking of Tupelo Rd. That’s the street she lives on. I like making associations and the first one I thought of was Van Morrison’s song, “Tupelo Honey.” Humming the lines to that song over and over helped keep me on track for how to get to Mary’s house. They go: “You can take all the tea in China Put it in a big brown bag for me Sail right around all the seven oceans Drop it straight into the deep blue sea She’s as sweet as Tupelo honey She’s an angel of the first degree She’s as sweet as Tupelo honey …” It’s an old song, I know, but the oldies are goodies. Van Morrison, a Northern Irish singer-songwriter, featured “Tupelo Honey” as the title song of his album that came out in 1971. The title comes from an expensive, mild-tasting tupelo honey produced in the southeastern U.S. Anyway, I’d stop humming that song long enough to know that I was making the right turns to get to Mary’s house and suddenly I was there. We had a nice visit last October. We spent part of the afternoon outside in her back yard then had dinner inside. As usual Mary and I kept chatting, never running out of things to say. I recently read a great quote about fall. It’s by Hazelmarie Mattie Elliot: “I see the turning of a leaf dancing in the autumn sun, And brilliant shades of crimson glowing when the day is done.”

‘Harry Potter: A History of Magic’ is Spellbinding Exhibit at New-York Historical Society C ontinued from page D5 Potter series published by Scholastic; cover art by Kazu Kibuishi featured in Scholastic’s 15th anniversary box set; and the enormous steamer trunk used to transport a signed copy of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince on the Queen Mary to the U.S. The exhibition also includes costumes and set models from the award-winning play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Also on display for the first time in the U.S. are Rowling’s handwritten first drafts of The Philosopher’s Stone and Deathly Hallows, her handdrawn sketch of the Hogwarts grounds, and portraits and sketches of some

of the Hogwarts’s professors and magical creatures created by British illustrator Jim Kay. John James Audubon’s watercolor of Snowy Owls, a 1693 publication defending the Salem witch trials, a study of the Woolworth Building—the landmark New York location featured in the film Fantastic Beasts—and other artifacts from NewYork Historical’s collection. I love the origination story – worthy of fiction – how in 1990, J.K. Rowling was sitting on a delayed train from Manchester to London when an idea popped into her head fully formed: the character of Harry Pottery, a boy wizard with messy black hair, glasses and a

lightning shaped scar on his forehead. Over the next five years, she planned out seven books, writing mostly in longhand and amassing a mountain of notes, many on scraps of paper (some we get to see). She presented a scroll of the draft of “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” (as it was titled in the United Kingdom), to Nigel Newton, of Bloomsbury, who handed it to his eight year old daughter, Alice, to read. His daughter’s review, “‘it’s probably one of the best books for 8 or 9 year old could read,” encouraged him to publish. The initial print run was just 500 copies, typical for a children’s book

by a first-time author. The book turned into a worldwide phenomenon – over 500 million books sold, printed in 80 languages. We see various editions lining the corridor. There’s so much to absorb – I went through the exhibit twice, and used the Audible guide they make available for free, and after three hours, could have spent considerably more time there. There is a superb Family Guide for “A History of Magic” that turns the exhibit into an interactive activity. New-York Historical is also presenting a wide variety of exhibitionrelated events for grown-up Harry Potter fans throughout the run of the

exhibition, including trivia nights, art workshops, creative writing classes, social meet-ups, open mics, book clubs, and engaging courses that explore the Hogwarts curriculum. Programs include an onstage conversation with illustrators Mary GrandPré and Brian Selznick, and a special evening with actor Jim Dale, known for his narration of all seven Harry Potter U.S. audiobooks. Family activities feature History of Magic family days with hands-on activities and crafts, a Harry Potter family book club, historical Hallowe’en celebration, and trivia

Timed-entry tickets for the exhibition Harry Potter: A History of Magic are $21 for adults, $16 for seniors (65+), $13 for students, $6 for kids ages 5–13, and free for children ages 0–4; tickets include admission to the rest of the Museum. Harry Potter: A History of Magic is on view through January 27, 2019, on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday 10 am–6 pm; Friday 10 am–9 pm; and Sunday 10 am–5 pm. The last entry is 45 minutes before closing. Visit harrypotter.nyhistory.org to purchase exhibition and programming tickets in advance. Black Citizenship in the Age of Jim Crow There is so much to see at the New-York Historical Society – it never fails to offer fascinating and provocative exhibits - you need a couple of extra hours beyond the time visiting “Harry Potter.” I went through “Black Citizenship in the Age of Jim Crow” exhibit which is hardhitting and in your face discussion of how the Emancipation Proclamation, Civil War, and most significantly, the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, led to an institutionalized system of terror and subjugation of African Americans, including a series of Supreme Court decisions dating back to Dred Scott, that perpetuated subjugation (on view through March 3). Also, the relatively new “Gallery of Tiffany Lamps” is not to be missed – this permanent display of 100 illuminated

lamps is breathtaking for its beauty and exquisite presentation and you even get the opportunity to design your own Tiffany lamp shade. You also learn the “hidden history” behind the lamps: about Clara Driscoll, the woman who up until now was virtually unknown and unheralded but was the artistic genius behind many of his designs, who headed the “Women’s Glass Cutting Department.” There are also two films that are shown in a fantastic theater, each shorter than 20 minutes: “We Rise” about women and social movements that were incubated, flourished and pollinated from New York City (narrated by Meryl Street) and “New York Story,” how and why it grew to be the commercial and cultural capital of the world and remains inextricably connected to the world. There is a lovely café at the Society. New-York Historical Society, 170 Central Park West (at 77th Street), 212873-3400, nyhistory.org. _____________________________ © 2018 Travel Features Syndicate, a division of Workstyles, Inc.

45th Annual NYC’s Village Halloween Parade, Themed ‘I Am a Robot’ Introduces VIP Section NEW YORK – For the first time, New York City’s iconic Village Halloween Parade is featuring a VIP section, accessible by advance-purchase ticket, led by grand marshal Machine Dazzle. The 45th Annual parade is themed, “I AM a Robot!” The VIP advance ticket is available to purchase on EventBrite for $25. Ticketholders will avoid lines with access to a secret entry point for early admission, enjoy a special DJ and soundtrack for an In-Parade party, and get the chance to meet other wildly creative Halloween fanatics from New York City and around the world. Robot costumes are required to march in the Special VIP Robot Section. “Grand Marshal Machine Dazzle will lead the Special VIP Robot Section of the 45th Annual Village Halloween Parade, calling upon Halloween makers and marchers to join in our positronic collective, expressing our inner cyborgs for an evening of robotic revelry,” said Jeanne Fleming, Artistic/Producing Director of New York’s Halloween Parade.

“We are thrilled to invite the public to join our first ever special VIP section,” Fleming said. “With artificial intelligences learning, adapting, interpreting and reacting as humans do, the times we live in can be overwhelming. This traditional and beloved event aspires to bring folks into their creative imagination—celebrating that quality that differentiates us from robots—and by extension make the world a better place. We as New Yorkers and those visiting the Big Apple can come together, affirm our identity, block out the distractions, focus on joy and inhabit the streets of New York LIVE.” The legendary Village Halloween Parade has entertained the public on Halloween night for the past 44 years, on 6th Avenue North of Spring Street to 16th Street on October 31 from 7 pm 10:30 pm. The Special VIP Robot Section will line up for the parade at 6 pm at a secret location to be announced closer to the event. For more information on the Parade, visit https://www.halloween-nyc.com/.

GC Hawks take first place in Connecticut Soccer Tournament

The Garden City Hawks (U10 Boys Travel Team) played in the Connecticut Football Club Columbus Day Soccer Tournament last weekend. The Hawks, who are undefeated in the regular season, advanced past travel teams from Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts to take first place in the tournament. The boys exhibited excellent teamwork, skill and determination. The offense, which scored 23 goals in 4 games, was complimented by the defense, which only let in an average of 2 goals per game. Thanks to Coaches Dan Gibbons and Phil Thomas for coaching the boys to victory. Congratulations Garden City Hawks!

Garden City - 0, Farmingdale - 22 “Have you ever watched a stonecutter at work? He will hammer away at a rock for perhaps a 100 times without a crack showing in it. Then, on the 101st blow, it will split in two. It is not that blow alone which accomplished the result, but the 100 others that went before as well.” - Jacob Riis, social reformer (1849-1914) The first game of October, the season of fall became the verb... Thunder fell to the Hawks. It was a shut-out game with lessons to be learned by the entire roster:

Jimmy Barry, Greg Buccella, Gabe Cohen, Patrick Corrigan, Angelo Cupani, Conor Fortney, Mark Gemmell, Alex Giuffre, Mike Griffin, Ryan Haniffy, Chase Kraus, Timothy Levelis, James Logler, Will Mattice, Max Milano, Charlie Powell, Brayden Robertiello and James Sullivan. Keep hammering away, team. The results show themselves. Thunder 10s will take on the Massapequa Mustangs at GCHS Warren King Field at noon on Sunday. Everyone knows, horses are spooked by Thunder! Go Thunder!!!

Garden City Spirit team shows their spirit, and bravery, holding a banner for their Thunder counterparts to rip through!

Thunder! Set! Hut one, hut two!

Thunder 10s swooped by the Hawks

Friday, October 12, 2018 The Garden City News

Thunder 8s dominate Franklin Square Coach Walker’s Thunder 8s defeated Franklin Square by a score of 20 – 0 this past Sunday, continuing their undefeated career. The offense got off to a fast start scoring a touchdown with a quarterback keeper by Ryan Rafferty. AJ Haffner scored the extra point. Thunder’s Legion of Doom stormed on to the field and created a wall that the Warriors could not get through with the great defensive stops by RJ Falvey, CJ Mattice, Mark Escher, Ronan Coyle and Brian Kahn. Kevin Pryblyski kept the offensive charge going with a 20 yard first down run setting up a reverse from Vance Palmer to Ethan Dorsainvil for a touchdown on the next play, courtesy of great O-line blocking by Christian Gamba, Colin Walsh, Wolfgang Ullrich and Zachary Psilakis. The defense took the field and stopped the Warriors in their tracks with a sack by AJ Haffner and a huge tackle by Christian Roddini to force a fourth down turnover. Jeffrey Finnell’s first down run and ball carries by Roddini, Connor Doherty, Brett Webber and James Walker set up AJ Haffner to score another touchdown and Vance Palmer to score the extra point.

Ethan Dorsainvil celebrates his touchdown!

Thunder Tough! Starting to get desperate, the Warriors tried a pass play that was picked off by Ryan Rafferty sending the ball back to GC. Christian Gamba and Collin Walsh then took turns running the ball and blocking for each other. With time running out the Franklin Square made one last attempt, but were stopped by a huge tackle and loss from Crosby Kraus and Tyler Fenney to end the game. In the post-game huddle, with GCHS Football Team

mentors, Joey Donovan, Steven Haass and Zack Debler, Coach Walker congratulated his team and told them to the secret of their success, “ Team Before Self.” Walker continued that if they always played that way, they would win every game they are ever in. And they just might! The Thunder 8s will next face Farmingdale, away at Allen Park on Sunday at 2:00. Come cheer them on! Go Thunder!

Thunder 7’s hard work finally paid off as the team defeated the Baldwin Bombers this past Sunday by a score of 20–6. Kevin Hegarty led the team to their first touchdown of the day on the opening drive with a run of 25 yards. Andy Coelen added to the score with a tough run for the extra point. The

second drive was capped off with a touchdown run by quarterback George Lekanides. The offensive-line was strong, with powerful blocking by Rhys Andersen, William Griffin, Michael Griffith, Will Haskell and Luke Savio. Thomas Breheny solidified the Thunder victory with their final touchdown of

the day! The Thunder D was stout and held the Bombers to six points thanks to great stops in the backfield by Zach LaRosa and solid line play by Sean Campbell, Billy Donovan, Caden Fowler and Ryan Jackson. The Thunder 7s hope to build off

this win when they take on the Seaford Broncos this Sunday at 9:00AM, with the team looking forward to the return of Henry Campolettano, Donovan Carroll and Finn Stewart. Go Thunder!

Lined up and ready to play! The team is all smiles after their first victory!

Patrick Reilly This past Saturday the Garden City Varsity Trojans hosted the Spartans of Elmont. Elmont put together a solid opening drive starting from their own 20, and with a series of running plays, marched all the way down to the Garden City 10 yard line. Then Trojan defense clamped down and on a series of great defensive stops pushed the Spartans back to the Garden City 25 yard line resulting in the Trojans gaining possession on downs.

Kicker Chase Gardi converted the extra point and the Trojans were up 7-0.

quarterback out of the pocket resulting in big losses, causing Elmont to punt. After a booming punt by the Elmont punter, the Trojans took over on their 20 yard line. On the 2nd play of the drive, out of the wildcat formation, Trever Yeboah-Kodie took a direct snap and split the Spartan defense, darting 72 yards for the second score of the game. Garden City led 14-0 at the close of the first quarter. On the Trojan’s first possession of the 2nd quarter, quarterback Hart, from the 30 yard line, threw a short screen to back Justin Coppola that Coppola turned into a 60 yard gain. The Trojans failed to capitalize on Coppola’s effort and were forced to punt. Elmont’s offense took over but quickly turned the ball over on downs to the Trojan offense. On Garden City’s next possession faced with a 3rd and 9 from their own 41, quarterback Hart hit Yeboah-Kodie with a screen pass that Yeboah-Kodie brought all the way to the Spartan 3 yard line. Two plays later, Yeboah-Kodie punched it in for his 2nd

touchdown of the day. On the Garden City kick off, special teams player Willy Blair put a huge hit on the Spartan return man, stopping him at the Spartan 33 yard line. The Spartans marched down the field and with one minute left in the 2nd quarter, took a shot at the end zone, that was intercepted by Trojan D-back Ryan Bice. The first half ended Garden City 21 – Elmont 0. The only scoring of the 3rd quarter was a 74 yard touchdown pass by Elmont, cutting the Trojan lead to 21-7. The 4th quarter saw both teams trading possessions without finding the end zone, until Garden City’s YeboahKodie took a hand off from Hart and again split the Spartan defense running 56 yards finding the end zone for his 3rd touchdown and the final score of the day giving the Trojans their 29th straight victory with a 28-7 win over the Spartans of Elmont.
