Stewart Manor questions new 7-11 permit BY GARY SIMEONE

A new 7 -Eleven store might be coming to the village of Stewart Manor and not everyone in the community is happy about it. The store which would take the place of the Manor Fruit Shack on Covert Avenue, is a 24/7 operation that violates the village code. According to Stewart Manor Mayor Michael Onorato, the village law does not permit businesses to be open between the hours of 12 midnight and 5 a.m. In a letter written in late September, Mayor Onorato said that the village had not

received an official response as to who was actually taking over the business located at 156 Covert Avenue. “Repeated attempts by our village attorney and Board of trustees have resulted in the inability to obtain an official response as to is actually taking over the operation,” said Onorato. “In fact as of this date, we still have not received an official notification.” He said that even though several attempts were made to contact the new owner, there is no legal requirement that they do so. Speculation throughout the community has been that the

new business will indeed be a new 7-Eleven, which seems to be the trend in several communities on Long Island. Cathy Rose, a Stewart Manor resident, said that she and her family chose to live in the area because of its charm and that 7-eleven stores belong in much busier areas. “These type of convenience stores belong on main roads and not in small towns “ said Rose. Another resident, Thomas Mitchell, said that he us concerned about the increased traffic on Covert if a 7-Eleven See page 48

The Village of Garden City’s Zoning Change Review Committee (ZCRC), established two years ago in anticipation of the 163-unit, Ring Road Residence Inn by Marriott, OTO Development/Simon Properties joint venture, will hold a public work session on Wednesday, November 1 at 7 p.m. inside Village Hall. The subject of the meeting will be the property straight down the road at 555 Stewart Avenue, with a proposal for a 150-unit residential complex with a clubhouse and swimming pool set to come before the village’s review boards and ultimately, the Village Board of Trustees. The first ZCRC public work session was held December 10, 2015, with a proposed zoning amendment application in connection with the Residence Inn, ultimately approved on all accounts close to a year later with its designs reviewed by the Architectural Design Review Board (ADRB) and the Planning Commission earlier this year. At the Board of Trustees’ October 5 meeting, Superintendent of Building Ausberto Huertas announced the ZCRC’s upcoming work session. “The proposed project with an application filed in the village’s Department of Buildings and the Zoning Change Review Committee proposes a 150 resident-unit complex. As presently proposed, in order See page 48

Board approves $100K for St. Paul's consultants BY RIKKI N. MASSAND

The Garden City Board of Trustees approved another $40,00 for conceptual work for the ‘St. Paul’s Recreation Facility’ at it’s October 5th meeting. This is in addition to $60,000 that will be paid to three well-respected Manhattan firms that was previously allocated. In front of several members of the Garden City Historical Society at the meeting, the village bumped up its allocation to $100,000 to three firms: Beyer, Blinder, Belle (BBB) and Eight, Inc., both of Broadway, and Thornton Tomasetti of Madison Avenue. They will provide the village with preliminary drawings, proofs of concept, construction plan outlines and related material “with respect to developing the former St. Paul’ building, cottages and surrounding area into a recreation-based facility including indoor fields and other amenities.” Village Trustee Louis Minuto, an architecture professional, spoke about all three of the firms when he commented on St. Paul’s future last month during the CPOA’s Tuesday, September 12 meeting.

The zebra is recovering

To the Editor: The Poole family would like to share our good news. Our carousel zebra proudly stands once again after having successful surgery for 3 broken legs. I want to thank all our friends …and strangers…who called, emailed, sent condolence cards and even stopped by the house to inquire about his demise. The kindness of strangers was most providentially evident when our neighborhood Garden City policeman, Steve Touhy, stopped by to tell us, “I fix things.” For more than 2 weeks he worked in our garage in his off time to rehabilitate the zebra. He did this at no expense to us, refusing even to accept money for supplies, because he said he and the community of Garden City missed seeing our iconic zebra. The residents of Garden City should be so proud of our police force, and in particular, Steve Touhy! So, to the parents of the poorly raised youngsters (who were probably armed with a six-pack of beer), please advise your spawn that a surveillance camera is being installed to thwart any further murderous attacks on our zebra, who we named “Steve”. Mary Jane Poole

A costly search

To the Editor: How thrilling! The “search” is on. The word has gone out. Everyone is involved in this adventure. No expense will be spared. Garden City is rumbling in anticipation of discovery. Nothing is more important than the “search.” Agents are being dispatched throughout the Americas to find the one person, the only person who can be the successor to the lamented Dr. Fiersen; Dr. Feirsen who was the perfect man for the position; kept everyone contented except for some coaches who were unceremoniously dispatched. Let’s all participate with joy in the

adventure. It’s costing us a fortune. Angelo DiPippo

Don’t place the cart before the horse

To the Editor: I am writing to fully endorse resident Arnold Finamore’s Letter in the Oct 6th GCNews in which he complains that GC Trustees are proceeding down a “narrow course of action.” I have some related points to make -- especially re the “Statement”, of a few weeks ago, signed by six GC Trustees, regarding how they would like to solve the challenge of what to do with the St. Paul’s building and its surrounding property. (See the statement on the Village website.) The Statement says: 1) the views taken are of the recommendations of the six individual signatories of the document, and NOT the opinion of the Board as a whole. 2) It further states that a majority of six of the Board members is leaning heavily toward developing the property for sports and recreation. It seems to me that a majority of the eight is enough to pass a motion TODAY on the Board’s recommendation. I do not understand why they say the Statement is of individuals but then say that the six Trustees are in harmony. Thus they all agree on the way forward, i e, primarily in a heavily sports-related direction. Their minds are made up BEFORE any views of the general population are explored. 3) What are the views of Trustees Bolebruch and Trouvé, the two who did not sign the Statement? In fairness the Statement should have stated what the other two were thinking. 4) While the statement speaks of sports and recreation, it appears to me that they favor sports over non-sports recreation. If this is not true then the statement should have mentioned several types of non-sports recreation. What is “Recreation”? See page 46

We are no longer publishing the “Mayor’s Column.” This weekly column is intended to advise our residents and community of matters that our Board of Trustees and Departments are working on, events and other important information. And of course, please visit our website for additional information: www.gardencityny.net.

Cedar Valley Pumping Station

The Village operates two sewer pumping stations - one located on Meadow Street and the other, the Cedar Valley sewer pumping station located at the corner of Hilton Avenue and Second Street. Both facilities are critical infrastructure and operate

24-7. The latter facility was built in 1916 and has reached the end of its life. The building has a large crack in its foundation and needs replacing. In addition, according to Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi, even though the three pumps that operate have already been replaced, the controls inside the building are antiquated. “It’s not just the building, the entire infrastructure needs updating,” he said. Because this facility cannot be shut down for repair, the proposed plan involves building a new building adjacent to the current one (pre-fab buildings are also being considered), installing new controls and then systematically transitioning the new pumps to the new building. Village officials met with engineers in early October and expect plans and specifications in two to three months.

Hemlock is expected to be completed within the week. “It is important for us to shift our priorities and take a look at Field 1 at Community Park,” Kevin Ocker, chairman of the Board of Commissioners of Cultural and Recreational Affairs, said. Anxious about using a new product known as Beam Clay, which will improve playability. Another product also being used will improve drainage on that field. In the event of heavy rain, the product has the capacity to hold water under the surface, making the field much more playable. New irrigation is also being installed. All covered within the Strategic Plan budget, work is expected to begin after November 5. The field will be ready for spring play.

cent parking field. He recalled that a similar vehicle was being sought in connection with a number of public lewdness complaints in the Village. Officer Russell obtained the vehicle’s registration and a description of the operator, which he forwarded on to Garden City detectives. Officer Russell’s keen observations led detectives to arrest and charge the suspect with six counts of public lewdness and one count of possession of a sexual performance by a child. Further investigation led to a 200count indictment in August within New York City by the Brooklyn’s DA office, citing multiple victims with multiple counts of predatory sexual assault and first-degree rape. The investigation continues in Nassau County with additional charges pending. “Police Officer Russell’s dedication and preparedness has directly resulted in taking a dangerous predator off the streets of the community he serves and the surrounding areas as well,” Garden City Police Commissioner Kenneth Jackson said. “This incident is just one example of the superior quality of service Officer Russell, a six-and-a-half-year veteran See page 10

Garden City’s Department of Recreation and Parks is pleased to announce the beginning of a series of events and activities geared toward special needs adults, ages 18 and up, who are residents of the Village of Garden City. A Mini Golf Social will be held at Garden City Community Park this Sunday, October 15 at noon. Future offerings will include exercise programs, arts and crafts, and other social events. For further information, visit the Recreation and Parks’ website at www.gardencityrecreation.org or call Sandy Young at 465-4076.

Treasurer’s Report

For the first quarter of 2017-2018, General Fund expenses are 1 percent favorable ($162,000) to the budget. Looking at expenses year over year there is a slight increase mostly due to timing and how the Village allocated expenses. For example, in the previous year contributions to the Library were allocated twice a year; this year the Village funded the full year amount in June. General Fund revenues are also favorable to budget, year to date, by 2 percent or a little more than $1 million. This is mostly due to revenues received from permit and building fees related to the OTO Development’s Marriott Residence Inn. These revenues were anticipated to be received in May of the prior fiscal year but due to some delays in that project revenues came in under this fiscal year. As of August 31, 2017, cash accounts totaled $56,683,000 and investments in money market accounts totaled $9,501,000.

Building Code Changes

The Board of Trustees will hold another public hearing October 19, 2017 at 8:00 p.m. on a revised proposed Local Law to amend Chapter 68 of the Village Code to add uniform building permit expiration dates, codify permit and inspection fees and address on-site storage of construction materials and debris after modifications were made to the proposed law following an October 5, 2017 public hearing. The revisions in the proposed Local Law relate to the expiration dates of different permits, including existing permits.

Garden City Pool

As the Pool budget is prepared for each season it’s based on an estimate of anticipated member-

ships, guest fees and other revenue areas. Although memberships in the Family category were down by 15 this past season, memberships in categories like Non-Resident Caregivers, Senior Couples and Family of Two were up by 19, 14 and 46 respectively. The expenses forecast anticipates coming in well under the modified budget at the end of this fiscal year. Having a positive forecast of approximately $61,000 Kevin Ocker, chairman of the Board of Commissioners of Cultural and Recreational Affairs said, “In general, I think the Pool has sustained itself. We’re watching expenses where we can without losing quality service.”

Building Dept, Digitization Project

To date, the Village’s scanning vendor for the Building Department’s digitization project has processed more than 61 boxes. Fifty of those boxes are fully completed, scanned, indexed and tagged. Twenty-five of those boxes have already been uploaded into the computer system. This translates to 177,700 documents scanned to date. Thus far the Village has incurred $54,000. When comparing the state-approved vendor versus the vendor ultimately chosen based on bid the Village has realized $191,000 in savings to date. “Besides the fact it will be efficient, it’s digitized,” Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi said. “People that have dealt with the Building Department before who are looking up permits, the permits were filed individually - not by address. In this process all the documents will be cross indexed so access to those documents will be immediate.”

Fire Prevention Day & Open House

In a fire, seconds count. Seconds can mean the difference between residents escaping safely from a fire or having their lives end in tragedy. That’s why this year’s Fire Prevention Week theme: “Every Second Counts: Plan 2 Ways Out!” is so important. It reinforces why everyone needs to have an escape plan. Join the Garden City Volunteer Fire Department at its annual Open House and Fire Prevention Day event on Sunday, October 15, beginning at 12:30 p.m. in the parking lot adjacent to Fire Headquarters on Stewart Avenue. There will be demonstrations, giveaways and free refreshments.

Board of Trustees Meeting

The Board will next meet on Thursday, October 19, 2017 at 8:00 p.m. in the Village Hall Boardroom. Residents are encouraged to attend.

All Hallows’ Eve: Journey to the Cathedral Crypt Tuesday, October 31st at 7pm On this All Hallows’ Eve, you are invited to walk the bridge between the living and the dead as we journey together to the Cathedral Crypt to honor the souls of Garden City’s founders, who were buried there over a century ago. Follow burning lanterns as we walk the Cathedral’s sacred grounds, hear ghost stories, honor our faithful ancestors, and perhaps find out once and for all if the Cathedral of the Incarnation is haunted.

Not my favorite topic, but I suppose I should discuss the awful massacre perpetrated in Las Vegas last week in which around 59 people were killed and nearly 500 injured. For what it’s worth, I stayed at the Mandalay Bay, the hotel used by the shooter, a few years ago and it’s a very nice, upscale place. Typical of resorts in Vegas, it’s a huge complex with thousands of rooms. It is unclear whether it is practical or feasible at facilities like the Mandalay to screen the huge number of incoming guests for contraband like weapons. Another question concerns restricting the use of do not disturb signs in hotel rooms to allow detection of dangerous activities. The Mandalay Bay debacle has reignited, on late night television and other places, the issue of gun control. People quite reasonably ask why the United States cannot avoid periodic outbreaks of mass shootings such as the ones in Sandy Hook, in Orlando and now in Las Vegas. I will first say that the right to bear arms set forth in the second amendment to the Constitution, or gun rights in general, do not resonate with me in terms of my personal life and experience. I do not own a gun or go hunting; indeed, I don’t believe I have ever shot a gun. I also believe it reasonable that there be more gun control and regulations in or near large metropolitan areas than in rural areas. For example, I just can’t see weapons allowed on the New York City subways. Nevertheless, as a person not particularly invested in the second amendment, I will state that the actual gun regulation situation is far more complex than claimed by Jimmy Kimmel and others. As Democratic Senator Diane Feinstein said to CBS on Sunday, no law would have stopped the Las Vegas shooter, a man without a criminal background with no recorded history of serious mental illness. (His motives are still very much unknown.) And much of the incremental legislation being proposed would have been ineffectual, such as restricting purchase

by certain demonstrably unstable individuals, closing the so-called gun show loophole, which allows some purchasers the avoid background checks or abolishing straw purchases of weapons. Even proposals to reinstate the assault weapon ban that was in place from 1994 to 2004 grandfather (but register) existing weapons. Studies following the lapse of the law were inconclusive as to its effect on curtailing gun violence. Importantly, despite the dramatic nature of shootings like the one in Las Vegas, by far most fatalities are from ordinary handguns, not assault weapons. Other proposals go well beyond measure like a ban on assault rifles and the like and prohibit, or at least very sharply limit, private ownership of guns. However, there is an obvious legal barrier, as court decisions have held that the right to bear arms under the second amendment is a personal right. Even more to the point, we lack the political will to confiscate guns wholesale. There are around 300 million guns in the United States. Hunters, of course, use firearms and millions of people, particularly in rural areas, have a weapon at home or in their business for protection. In most states, you can get a weapon by showing identification and passing a background check. There is no realistic way that many people will give up their guns (or even accept registration) and a house to house search for firearms is inconsistent with traditional American values. Unfortunately, the only realistic path is piecemeal changes in gun laws. For example, there is a broad consensus that bump stops, which can effectively convert semiautomatic weapons in to automatic ones, should be outlawed. There may be ways to improve detection of mentally ill potential buyers. But like it or not (and I don’t), prevention of crimes by a determined shooter like the one in Las Vegas, or of gun violence in general, is extremely difficult.

Pool memberships, social activities reviewed by Board BY RIKKI N. MASSAND

As part of tracking village finances, the Board of Trustees has made a priority of tracking the returns on investments into the pool facility, a social hub of Garden City every summer. For the past four years the village’s annual budget work sessions and allocations have included capital upgrades and related pricing for the pool. Kevin Ocker, village department head of Recreation and Parks and chair of the Board of Commissioners of Recreation and Cultural Affairs, updated the Board of Trustees and 30 members of the public at the October 5 meeting on totals from the 2017 Pool Season, as part of the Enterprise Fund report from the village treasurer. “This past season appears to be financially a very good one. As we (Recreation Department) put our budget together for the pool each year it is based on an estimate we anticipate for memberships, guest fees and other revenue areas. The chart tells us although we missed our projected mark for total memberships, nevertheless memberships and sales were up. We took a little hit with a $37,000 negative figure because we offered a discount for early signups. That cost us about $32,000. The good part of the story is on our expense side for the pool enterprise;

our forecast anticipates us coming in well under the modified budget. We will finish this fiscal year having a positive of about $61,000. In general the pool has sustained itself and we are cutting expenses where we can without reducing the quality of service and the experiences of pool members and guests,” Ocker explained. Trustee Mark Hyer asked him if the $37,000 in the negative meant discounts reduced the revenues, or if less memberships was a contributing factor. Ocker says overall, through all the different membership categories the 2017 season saw 18 more signups than the 2016 season. “But the money did not necessarily work out because of the discount that we offered,” he said. Year-over-year the Garden City Pool had 15 less family memberships sold in 2017 than in 2016. However 14 more “senior couple” memberships were purchased, “family of two” memberships went up by 46, and non-resident caregiver memberships were up 19. Ocker says there was really a shift in full family memberships as people selected a different category in 2017. Ocker also told the Board the Rec. Department budgeted for an aggressive target of revenues from pool sponsorships as “Other than Operating Revenues” but there was shortfall. “We did get a lot of sponsorships but we

didn’t hit our mark, and that was the primary reason for falling under budget,” he said. Mayor Brian Daughney scrutinized the totals and recalled that the Village Board shifted $34,000 from the village general fund into the pool enterprise, and he confirmed that with Village Treasurer Irene Woo at the October 5 meeting. He said given that allocation, the pool just broke even for 2017. Village Trustee John Delany reminded his fellow Board members this still marks an improvement for the pool after underperformance in prior years, and Ocker and the trustees agreed on the progress. The mayor offered some direction for an even better report in 2018. “I want to make sure the Rec. Commission receives this finance and membership totals materials and starts thinking of how to make changes, targeted areas of improvements in the areas we fell short on,” Mayor Daughney instructed Ocker. He answered that the Commissioners receive a very detailed report with all the pool membership categories comparing to previous years, and follow-up will come at the monthly Rec. Commission meetings held the third Wednesday of every month, with the next one on October 18. Also at its October 5 meeting, the Board approved one change for the

Commission as after nearly a decade Rec. Commissioner Patrick Manley resigned. The trustees and Ocker thanked him publicly for serving the village, then the Board approved the appointment of resident Christian Siragusa to the Rec. Commission, filling Manley’s unexpired term until April 1, 2019.

Fieldhouse Floor “Covered”

On October 5 the Village Board of Trustees awarded a bid for a covering system to protect the new vinyl flooring at St. Paul’s Fieldhouse. The trustees approved $16,438 for Humphreys Cover Sports of Philadelphia, the low bidder. Eight vendors were invited to bid and three bids were received. At the meeting Ocker spoke about the need to invest in a complete covering system. “It’s been years since we purchased one and it allows us to cover the new flooring for non-sporting events. The cover rolls out in pieces and preserves the new vinyl. The first time for us to use it will be for the annual Turkey Trot,” Ocker explained. For Recreation, the Board of Trustees also approved $3,321 for contractor Landtek, with a change order for its work on the brand new Community Park multipurpose turf field. The amount covers the instalSee page 33

BY RIKKI N. MASSAND Mayor Brian Daughney and his colleagues on the Village Board of Trustees may be seeing 50% less of each other and of residents at Village Hall gathering for Board meetings, unless the Board acts to approve more than one meeting night for itself in each of the next six months. Meetings for the Board unanimously approved at its October 5 meeting are on the schedule for Thursdays, November 16, December 14, January 11, February 27, March 15 and April 12. But by next Thursday more meeting dates could be added, as residents and a few trustees expect. Residents at Village Hall last Thursday night were perplexed about losing future meetings, with this month (October) having two meetings, October 5 and 19, while every other month from July through April would have had just one. The Board discussed its chances to meet once versus twice a month (as has been tradition) after the question was posed by Maureen Dellacona. She said in reading the outlined meeting dates for the Board of Trustees listed on the October 5 agenda, the village “would be changing its process of holding two

public Board meetings a month to one.” “I am concerned we are cutting back on the opportunity for residents to have face time with our trustees. I am concerned about less communication with residents – if we cut the number of meetings with the public by 50% that gives us less time to see all of you together as a group. I urge you to consider continuing the practice of two general meetings a month as the public needs to know what you are thinking, and you keep communication going with residents,” she said. Dellacona is the immediate past president of the Western Property Owners’ Association and as an example, she said it would be important for her and her neighbors to hear the thoughts and issues trustees Mark Hyer and John Delany over in the East section have been working on, and vice versa. Several of the trustees nodded in agreement with her thought. Mayor Daughney was a bit confused because he considered the dates printed on agendas “fill-ins” for what was not yet updated on the village’s meetings calendar. Dellacona was temporarily relieved, and Trustee Robert Bolebruch See page 40

GC Volunteer Fire Department Fire Prevention Day & Open House on Sunday

Many people think fire is something that happens to other people. Unfortunately, this common misperception continues to put Americans at risk to fire each year, particularly at home. This year’s Fire Prevention Week theme, “Every Second Counts: Plan 2 Ways Out!” works to better educate the public about the critical importance of developing a home escape plan and practicing it. The Garden City Volunteer Fire Department is working in coordination with NFPA, the official sponsor of the Fire Prevention Week for more than 90 years, to reinforce those potentially life-saving messages. Fire Prevention Week is October 8-14, 2017. On Sunday, October 15th, the department will be hosting our annual fire pre-

vention day and open house. The event begins at 12:30pm at Fire Headquarters located at 347 Stewart Avenue. Come down to the event to learn more about the importance of fire escape plans and other fire prevention safety tips. Those attending this event will receive free giveaways, brochures, balloons, plastic fire helmets for the kids, and, of course, complimentary refreshments for all! The fire department cordially invites all residents, their friends and families to enjoy the afternoon with them. As always, any resident interested in volunteering in the department can visit www.gcfdny.com/recruitment to submit an online application or email membership@gcfdny.com.

Garden City High School’s business teachers, Dr. Erin McKinstry and Mr. Reid Sclafani For the sixth consecutive year, Garden City High School’s business teachers, Dr. Erin McKinstry and Mr. Reid Sclafani have received the Gold Star Teacher Award from W!SE (Working in Support of Education) for their students outstanding achievement on the 2016-2017 online W!SE Financial Literacy Examination. To earn this distinction, at least 93% of their students received a passing grade on the examination. “We started the financial literacy program at Garden City High School during the 2010-2011 school year,” explained Dr. McKinstry. “We’re very proud of our students.” High school

students began taking the online exam – a timed financial literacy test administered online – and qualified the high school as a Blue Star school each year since 2011-2012. Last year, the students scored so high they placed Garden City High School in the top 10 schools in the nation, a distinction above-and-beyond the “100 Best” banner held here by the Gold Star teachers. “Our students do a great job; we have terrific parents,” shared Mr. Sclafani. “Financial literacy is so important that several states have made it a required course for graduation.”

Three Apples Book Award

Launched in 2007, Three Apples Book Award is awarded annually in three different categories: Young Reader, Children, and Teen. The award was developed to encourage the joys of reading for pleasure. What makes the award unique is that titles are culled and nominated entirely by kids, for kids. School and children’s librarians from across the state oversee the process, but the titles chosen are generated entirely by participating youth. Nominating forms for books on levels for children in preschool, grades K – 2 and grades 3-5 are available in the Children’s Room. Please come in to nominate your favorite book title. This will go to creating a statewide ballot of the top 15 titles in each category. After reading or listening to at least three of

the nominated titles, children vote next April for their top choice. The winning three titles announced are announced in schools and public libraries across the state in May. Winning titles, and their author, are honored with the presentation of the Three Apples Book Award.

There is no cost to the village for the annual Chamber program, now entering its third year, and the Chamber will be fully responsible for the cleanup and removals of all the decorations at the end of the season. Proceeds generated will go to charities.

Joseph Anthony’s

It seems that we are having another beginning of Summer, but that is not so. The weather has been changing now for the past few years and some changes have been nice but some have not and there is not a thing we can do about it. From what I hear, we will have a busy Fall season. On Tuesday, October 10th members of the Community Club enjoyed a trip to the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. That’s a nice way to start the Fall season. The ladies at the Garden City Community Church will be holding their annual Chrysanthemum Bridge and Lunch on Monday, October 16th at 12 noon. If you wish you can play Mah Jongg as the game is up to you and they want everyone to be happy with their own game. The fee is $25 per person and there will be table prizes and raffles. Sue Bashian is accepting reservations at 21 Nassau Blvd. here in town and checks should be made payable to Garden City Community Church and good luck to one and all. You might just want to mark down Saturday, Novembe4r 11th from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. for the Americana Fair at the same church. You might just be able to pick up a few unusual gifts for the coming holidays. The Fall Fair is at the G.C. Historical Society Museum and Antique Appraiser Phil Weiss will be happy to appraise your antique on October 15th. A limit of three items is set at $10 per item. If you see a lot of flags flying on top of the Ruth S. Harley University Center, they fly for a country represented among the students at Adelphi. The Second District of the Federated Garden Clubs of New York Inc. will be holding its Fall Meeting and Luncheon at the Crest Hollow Country Club and they fill the man ballroom. Happy Birthday wishes go to Rose Forgione, who will be celebrating her special day on October

17th, to Miriam Benack, who will celebrate way out in California on the 21st of this month and to Claire and Dick Burns who will celebrate their Wedding Anniversary on the 19th of October. May all the known and unknown Anniversaries be happy ones. Sp far, October has been living up to is reputation as the month with “Bright Blue Weather.” It should be fine for folks who like to travel either right here on Long Island plenty of places to see here - or for touring to new places right here in New York. There is a poem to fit the weather and it’s called “October’s Bright Blue Weather” Try looking it up sometime! This is also the season to look at all the gardens that are right here on Long Island. Brooklyn Botanical Gardens will be on the visiting list for the Community Club of Garden City and Hempstead, Clark Gardens, Planting Fields Arboretum and many more places right here on the Island. If you like antiquing, there are plenty of church sales that can fit into your schedule and most are advertised in this paper - just to make it easy for you to find. You can find a gem if you look hard enough. On October 12th the Garden City Casino the Community Club of Garden City and Hempstead will enjoy a program on “Queen Elizabeth I” by Louis Barrella. He will explore the portrayal of her in the arts - opera, music and cinema. My memory is of the portrayal of her by Bette Davis in several movies. I will be very happy to see this program as it will bring back many memories of gone by days. Have a good week and I will see you next week.

This photo was taken in the 1880’s on the front lawn of St. Paul’s School. It is the St. Paul’s Military Band as St. Paul’s was a military school until the early 1890’s. On the left is part of the circular drive in front of the school that still exists today. On the right is a glimpse of Stewart Avenue and the empty field across the way (today’s Middle School field). The young age of the trees around the boys dates the photo to not long after the St. Paul’s building opened in 1883. Note the helmets the boys are wearing which reminded me of Germany and the Kaiser’s era.

“Atrial fibrillation” topic of free lecture at Winthrop Hospital NYU Winthrop is offering a free seminar for the community, “Atrial Fibrillation: Innovative Advances in Treatment,” on Tuesday, October 24, at 7 PM.

Are once a month Board Meetings enough?

From page 18 promised that by the Thursday, October 19 meeting the Board would review any second dates per month and have notice to add them onto the village’s calendar. Resident Steve Ilardi, the EPOA vice president, later suggested a village update in the website’s news section to post the latest meeting date information. Daughney said one meeting each month is food for thought: “we don’t have to have a second meeting – some people like it and some people think it’s a waste of time.” But ultimately he suggested the same as Bolebruch announced, there will be more meeting dates for the Board of Trustees, although he said they would not necessarily have to be held on Thursday nights. Earlier this year the Board met on February 21, a rare Tuesday night, and each April, the trustees’ annual re-organization meeting is typically held on the first Monday of the month.

Senior transport gains more support

“POWER WHEN YOU NEED IT”

Another concern vocalized at the Thursday, October 5 Board meeting was the lack of progress on a senior transportation initiative. Kevin Ocker, department head for Recreation and Parks, had given an update earlier in the meeting on the 2017 pool memberships and an increase among senior couples. His comment was considered by Patricia Donnelly, a resident who has sat in several meetings and pushed for a senior transportation initiative to be started by the Village of Garden City. Last week she told the trustees it is upsetting so many other municipalities are taking care of seniors with transportation to facilities such as the local library, parks, senior center and the community pool, and Garden City should do the same. She also said she was not treated with respect for speaking up on the issue with the Board’s senior advisory committee.

Margie Rydzewski of Linden Street came to support her friend Donnelly and tell the trustees many of the village residents in their 40’s and 50’s and younger are signing a petition to support senior transportation. “I see the village is working very hard to make things nice for its residents and we all appreciate that, and I feel like Patricia is not the only senior in Garden City fighting for the transportation. We are all going to be seniors at some point but she’s had this impressive one-woman crusade. I realize the issue may be very challenging for the village and there’s obviously a lot of other things on the agenda. But aren’t most things we do in life that are challenging worthwhile in the end, with the challenge of St. Paul’s for example? I would really ask our village to not squash the idea of senior transportation and we can be more forward-thinking, maybe to establish a team of smart people that can look at this seriously,”Rydzewski said. She noted that there are psycho-social impacts of seniors who want to get out of their homes, go around to Garden City facilities and even participate by coming to Village Hall for meetings. Rydzewski says the Board of Trustees must remember to embrace the entire community and “just reconsider it,” and not let feelings of abandonment or disappointment stir among senior citizens as winter approaches. Donnelly also told the Board she can motivate any number of residents to sign a petition, write letters to the village and share her frustrations on the lack of senior transport, but there is one thing she cannot get them to do – attend the Board meetings at Village Hall and speak during public comments, as many seniors are nervous to drive at night and families with young children have to put kids to bed with school the next morning.

On Friday, September 23rd, students in the Mini Medical School Pathways course at St. Joseph School Middle School participated in the dissection of a sheep’s heart under the guidance of their teacher, Dr. Michael Spinelli, a Cardiac Electrophysiologist and Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine at New York University. This class is part of the Pathways Program,

a unique elective program offered to SJS Middle School students where they can choose from a variety of classes designed to expose them to different professions and lifelong pursuits.

Garden City Marching Band wins first place in competition

Garden City Marching Band, won top score in every category at their competition on Saturday October 7th. Staying true to their committment to school spirit, the Band played in the stands for the first quarter of the GC football team before leaving for the U.S. Bands Competition in Huntington. At the competition held at Walt Whitman High School, the GCMB won Best Music, Best Overall Effect, Best Color Guard, Best Visual, and Best Percussion. Garden City High School Marching Band Director, Mr. Daniel DellaMonica said “in only one week we added many new visual and physical movements to our show and the students were really able to excel with these in the competition. Our highest

performance score total ended up being in the Visual Performance category!” At competition each marching band is given a final score based on the individual scores of those five categories, along with a verbal evaluation from the judges. The band members are expected to incorporate the feedback into their next performance and increase their score each time. This makes the Marching Band a dynamic program; students have to continue learning new changes and incorporating them into their next performance. In this case, the GC Marching Band had to incorporate changes in only one week. The pressure was on and the band rose to the occasion, increasing their score from the last competition.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Email: Editor@GCNews.com

From page 2 The list is endless and involves all activities within the GC Recreation and Parks Dept -- and many not now offered for residents of all ages. I am a big supporter of sports but any new facility must serve all persons’ interests. I would guess that half of the GC population do not, or cannot, participate in sports. Thus it seems to me that the “sports lobby” in town has a louder voice and more clout at the Trustees level. That simply is not fair. We all pay taxes. Finally, present zoning of the St. Paul’s complex is for parks and recreation only. The key to my argument is that the definition of recreation is very broad and flexible. Keep an “Open Mind” These were the final words of the Statement. There is one problem: The Trustees’ minds are already made up! The proper way to have proceeded would be to find out what the residents think BEFORE going down a predetermined path. Mayor Daughney, let’s follow what Mr. Finamore said: remember that our government is a democracy. Don’t place the cart before the horse! George M.Salem

Forgotten Founders

To the Editor: Does anyone in the Village of Garden City know what the words are engraved over the entrance to St. Paul’s School? “Alex. Turney Stewart, In Memoriam” I look at a quote on a deceased relative’s memorial card: “The life of the dead consists of being present in the minds of the living.” Well, our Founders are certainly “dead!” You bought a house in Garden City: 18.5 miles from the heart of New York City. There are five train stations, a walk or a short ride from your house. The ad for the house probably read “tree lined streets, wide avenues, zoned building lots.” There is a hotel across the street from a railroad station near a small “downtown” area. The borders around the Village are treed. The 10,000 acres of the Hempstead Plains that the elderly Mr. Stewart purchased were treeless. You did not create this village. You bought into a “gift” from our Founders, and their immediate successors. George Hubbell, Esq .(you know Hubbell’s Pond) was the “second” A.T. Stewart, who ran what was called the “Garden City Co.,” at the turn of the 19th Century. He was the man who helped create and save the “Community Agreement,” which set up the governance of this Village. The equal representation of the four village districts did not just happen. The “Old Garden City,” the Central Section, was not happy with the sharing of equal representation with each successive three annexations: Estates,

Eastern , and Western sections. Mr. Hubbell played a major role in making this work, through many non legal “Gentlemen’s Agreements.” Team One: “People of Yesterday”: the”Preservationists,” speak about saving buildings. But, it is not just the buildings at stake, it is foremost, the memory of our Founders - Alexander Turney Stewart, and his wife Cornelia Stewart, who as his widow build and dedicated three of these to the memory of her husband. Team Two: “People of Today”: it is all about our kids having fields (Parkland) to play on (“synthetic turf” if possible): 45+ acres is not enough. This must explain why our kids have to travel to Connecticut, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, and Virginia to play in tournaments. And I guess that when one cannot go through Stewart Avenue on a given weekend, it is because kids from these states do not have enough fields, either. The las words of our “elected” trustees (people given a “trust”) were “Keep an open mind.” I am not certain that they have earned the right to ask this. I will have to “channel” the venerable Mr. Hubbell. The year 2019 is around the corner. It is an important date for our community. Notice the date on the monument to Mr. Stewart at the Garden City Railroad Station: 1869. The monument was fashioned out of a piece of one of the huge columns that stood in the old Penn Station. A happy anniversary? We live in hope. Francis X Sweeney

Don’t place the cart before the horse To the Editor: I am writing to fully endorse resident Arnold Finamore’s Letter in the Oct 6th GCNews in which he complains that GC Trustees are proceeding down a “narrow course of action.” I have some related points to make -- especially re the “Statement”, of a few weeks ago, signed by six GC Trustees, regarding how they would like to solve the challenge of what to do with the St. Paul’s building and its surrounding property. (See the statement on the Village website.) The Statement says: 1) the views taken are of the recommendations of the six individual signatories of the document, and NOT the opinion of the Board as a whole. 2) It further states that a majority of six of the Board members is leaning heavily toward developing the property for sports and recreation. It seems to me that a majority of the eight is enough to pass a motion TODAY on the Board’s recommendation. I do not understand why they say the Statement is of individuals but then say that the six Trustees are in harmony.

Thus they all agree on the way forward, i e, primarily in a heavily sports-related direction. Their minds are made up BEFORE any views of the general population are explored. 3) What are the views of Trustees Bolebruch and Trouvé, the two who did not sign the Statement? In fairness the Statement should have stated what the other two were thinking. 4) While the statement speaks of sports and recreation, it appears to me that they favor sports over non-sports recreation. If this is not true then the statement should have mentioned several types of non-sports recreation. What is “Recreation”? The list is endless and involves all activities within the GC Recreation and Parks Dept -- and many not now offered for residents of all ages. I am a big supporter of sports but any new facility must serve all persons’ interests. I would guess that half of the GC population do not, or cannot, participate in sports. Thus it seems to me that the “sports lobby” in town has a louder voice and more clout at the Trustees level. That simply is not fair. We all pay taxes. Finally, present zoning of the St. Paul’s complex is for parks and recreation only. The key to my argument is that the definition of recreation is very broad and flexible.

Columbus controversy removal of statue

To the Editor: I enjoyed reading the article written by Claire Lynch titled “Recognizing Columbus’ Vision & perseverance’ published in The Garden City News October 6, 2017. She carefully and extensively chronicled the history, background, perseverance and accomplishment of this great, brave and magnificent explorer. After reading it, I decided to ‘add’ my own thoughts about this dreamer, adventurer and brave human being and which is now being attacked, vilified and accused of being an inhumane slavery sponsor and trader by some detractors obviously misinformed, misguided individuals requesting that the statues erected in his memory and honor be removed from publish places and possibly demolished. To accuse, dishonor and insult without tangible, absolute proof is not just irresponsible and vulgar, but also, abhorrently and inexcus-

able. Scholars have not documented any atrocities committed by Columbus. The Mayor of New York has established a ‘Committee’ to study and recommend such possibility. And he is of Italian heritage...? I will humbly but strongly suggest and recommend that he does some research and study a little more about this great Genovese. As a born Spaniard, I am proud of what Spain and particularly Queen Isabella did to help and allow Columbus to brilliantly achieve his dream and to create a great historical masterpiece. He and his men in the three ships built with the Queen’s borrowed money departed from Puerto Palos in 1492. The rest is history well documented and therefore, I strongly, totally, completely disagree with such uncivilized negative thoughts and desire concerning the removal of his statue from public places. As the knowledgeable, informed reader fortunately does know, Christopher Columbus or Cristobal Colon.as he is called and refer to in Spain, Portugal, South America and other countries, was not in my opinion, a murderer, patron of slavery, brutal colonizer and definitely, absolutely not a murderer but a hero, a dreamer, honest and brave person. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same about his lieutenants, Viceroys, etc. etc. His dream was not to discover America but rather, to find a more direct way,, shorter distance to ‘The Indies’ in order to facilitate the commerce of species, silk, gold. It was a totally unexpected happening that he arrived in Bahamas, Hispaniola and other Caribbean islands and eventually reaching the Florida coast. As Ms. Lynch mentioned in her article, he returned to the Americas four more times and died in Spain at age 55. Yes, the Italians are proud of heritage. He was a Genovese although at the time, Italy did not exist as a country. He proposed and presented his ideas to the Portuguese king, the French,Dutch and others nobles but either they were not interested nor did they believe in the expedition and which they considered a wild dream. But he did not gave up. His fifth attempt, visit, was with Isabel, Queen of Spain at Santa Fe in 1492 where she was waiting for the surrender of Granada (my birthplace) and the last Moorish kingdom in Spain. As a brief remainder-note, I wish to once more mention that world history contains both, grateful, happy memories as well as painful, dark and unhappy ones. Certainly, the last ones do not apply to Christopher Columbus or Cristobal Colon. His statue(s) should not be removed. However, there may be others that indeed may lack true historical value, offensive or painful to some people to look at in which case, removal is the option although personally, I would prefer that ‘true artistic examples be collected in a museum

Martins’ assessment plan - no savings

To the Editor: Jack Martins has floated the idea of driving the tax assessments for Nassau County down to the town and village level. According to Mr. Martins this would save the County $80 million a year. And it could, but it would only drive the costs down to the town levels. So we would still be paying, just a different tax bill. I also know Suffolk County has a town tax system however, this system has been long established and do we actually know how well it works compared to Nassau? In addition, this would leave us with perhaps a county assessor with terminated employees - or would they still remain adding to the complexity and cost? Are we then supporting two levels of assessment departments? I see Mr. Martins has not disclosed what will happen to that staff. Perhaps he has

retraining in mind, and we will find the old assessment staff out grooming roadways at $75,000 per year. I am deeply concerned we will have increased costs, as well as the negative impact of a decentralized system. We may have an inconsistent and erratic experience for taxpayers across Nassau County. As taxes are levied on the assessed valuation of a property, those values are determined either by the governmental agency handling the task or the contractors. It is well known there have been issues with contractors and corruption. So, are we providing an opportunity for additional problems, but this time gambling with our house values and taxes? The towns would need to hire new staff which begs the question, will they be qualified or someone’s relatives? And what about our assessed valuations when we go to contest an unfair house evaluation? Will the favored get the reductions while the rest of us work endlessly to pay more than our fair share of taxes? The corruption on the Town of Oyster Bay level is well documented in pending court cases. Do we really want folks similar to Venditto and the associates he left behind deciding whose taxes will be lowered? Sounds like more of an opportunity for unfair

tax levies, and the ones connected to get the breaks. As a real estate professional, I am concerned about the decentralization of a system that could impact title workers, appraisers and brokers. Will costs go up as they have to work in a decentralized system which may be awkward and time consuming? We have a system and it can work. It is currently broken but can be overhauled and fixed. We do not need to reinvent the wheel three times over. It would be cheaper and easier for the taxpayer to provide a unified and consistent experience for all. There is no reason to create duplication, more costs and yet another avenue for even more corruption and mismanagement. I find this option yet another way to add to already expensive town governments. Donna Kianka

Jack Martins best County Executive

To the Editor: I will never forget the first time I met Jack Martins. My mom was in Winthrop University Hospital and shared her room with a lovely woman from Mineola. One day my mom’s roommate introduced us to her son, Jack. Jack visited his mom at the hospital everyday and so we chatted quite a lot. One day soon after Jack left, his

mom told us her son was the Mayor of Mineola. He never mentioned it all week. He was just a wonderful son visiting his mom. My mother said, “Now, that Jack is a good man because he treats his mother, wife and children with great love and respect. “ Jack Martins will be the best County Executive that Nassau has ever had because he truly cares about his family, the people of Nassau County. He is so approachable and so very devoted his big extended family of Nassau County. Jack is committed to ending the political corruption that has undermined our trust in government. He also has pledged to fix Nassau County’s broken tax assessment system. Jack fought for more state aid for Long Island school districts and got it. He is going to do many more great things for Nassau County when he is elected on November 7th. Please get out and vote. This is not a glamorous election with a presidential vote but a very important election indeed. This is one way to make a difference in this world. Vote. Karen Reiter

Zoning Comm to discuss new Stewart Ave complex

From page 1 to facilitate the development of the project the application is requesting that the village either amend its current zoning for the property (across from Starbucks at the entranceway to Roosevelt Field) or establish a new zoning district of the village that would allow residential multiple dwellings on that property,” Huertas said. Village Attorney Peter Bee said that as November 1 is an open public session, public comments will be accepted during the meeting and taken into consideration by the ZCRC. The development potential of the property was reviewed at a meeting of the Environmental Advisory Board this summer, as a pool and clubhouse are planned for the northeast corner of the property. The EAB considered piping and other approvals needed for compliance with code as it began an informal review. The development of the vacant property, with 25 condominium town homes originally planned, has not been discussed at Village Board meetings in almost five full years. As reported in the News on January 3, 2013, “A six-month final site plan approval extension was approved by the Board on December 20, 2012 as it appended a four-month extension the Board granted in August (2012) to 550 Stewart Avenue LLC, the owners of the property at 555 Stewart Avenue. The owners had been granted original final site plan approval on September 11, 2008.” Enacted at the Village Board reorganization meeting six months ago on Monday, April 3 and reported in the April 7 edition of The Garden City News, this year the Village of Garden City formed a Zoning Change Planning

Committee to be led by Deputy Mayor John DeMaro and Trustee Louis Minuto. They join Architectural Design Review Board Chair Hugh S. Lacy and Robert Cunningham, the chair of the village’s Zoning Board of Appeals for many years, as well as Superintendent Huertas on the new Committee. Lacy and Cunningham were present for the Thursday, October 5 meeting when the November 1 public work session of the ZCRC was announced. During September the Village of Garden City’s Building Department issued 152 permits, 124 certificates, performed 302 site inspections, 34 C.O. searches; 38 FOIL requests and 13 complaints were investigated. The department generated over $187,000 in revenues in September, with $34,000 coming right from permit fees.

New Legislation for Existing Permits

The Board of Trustees held and subsequently closed a public hearing on a new legislation to have streamlined control of open building permits issued by the village, but a trustees’ vote on the legislation is likely at either the October 19 or November 16 Board meeting. Village Attorney Bee is re-working part of the language in a proposed ordinance to clarify the periods of time when current and valid permits issued will expire, before applicants must come back and apply for another permit. There are currently 8,146 open construction (building) permits in Garden City while but are only 6,800 homes in the village, meaning multiple permits are opened for a number of units. Trustee John Delany commented that permits on file with the building department, in some cases, can date back 50 years. Mayor Brian Daughney provided perspective on a revenue and fee track-

ing investigation process that can force Village Treasurer Irene Woo and her staff to look back decades. “It has gotten way out of hand and it’s just too much. We have got to cut this off,” Daughney said at last week’s meeting. At the direction of the mayor, Bee is integrating language to cover permits issued between January 1, 2015 and this year to expire on October 1, 2018. He considered that to be reasonable given that the current meetings in October into November 2017 will address the legislation. Bee then provided legal evaluation for the Board. “As with any new piece of legislation that seeks to correct a series of technical issues, there appears to be a few interpretive issues with the draft we prepared. I had some discussion with Superintendent Huertas and as proposed, the language is specific for permits issued prior to January 1, 2015. It is less specific with what to do with permits issued between January 1, 2015, and the current time in terms of expiration,” Bee said. He said as the ordinance was drafted, the Board of Trustees could have left the interpretation to Superintendent Huertas for regulation of permits or it can add a specific timeframe, and Mayor Daughney chose October 2018. Meanwhile in the proposed new legislation, all open building permits issued prior to January 1, 2015 will expire on January 1, 2018. Bee referenced section 68-3 of the proposed legislation, and explained “permits are designed to expire six months after their expiration.” “Theoretically a permit issued in either February or March would automatically expire upon the adoption of this legislation and that would

impact permits issued in the gap period (January 1, 2015 up until the Board approves the legislation),” Bee said, before the mayor suggested the uniform October 1, 2018 expiration date and said “at that point permit holders would have had nearly four years to get something done.” “People would have plenty of time, plenty of notice, and a year from now is essentially the cutoff date,” Daughney said. He added that people who now hold a permit issued before January 1, 2015 cannot extend their permits past October 1, 2018. Village Attorney Bee noted that once permits expire, applicants would come back to the building department seeking a new and valid permit and pay permit fees. Trustee John Delany said he’s willing to go along with the mayor’s suggestion because of the substantial advance notice of the new permit regulations. “Residents will be given notice so they have the opportunity to correct the permits. I had a conversation with a realtor concerned about people who want to sell their homes in Garden City but don’t realize their contractor or a previous contractor for their property never finalized the permit with the building department,” Delany said. Mayor Daughney also asked ADRB Chair Hugh Lacy, seated in the audience, if he was okay with the changes to permits and Lacy agreed. Bee will soon make changes to the draft accordingly, and prior to adoption the Village of Garden City will republish and provide notice in writing to all individual Garden City permit holders/property owners and to the general public in the newspaper, with Bee suggesting a publication and notice date of November 30, 2017.

Stewart Manor questions new 7-11 permit

From page 1 was to be built. “Traffic is already pretty bad on this road as it is and I think a store like 7-Eleven would increase congestion even further,” said Mitchell. He said he’s also concerned about the element that a 24/7 operation like 7-Eleven would bring into the village. “Stewart Manor is a small, quiet area and I’m worried a late night business like this might attract the wrong kind of element.” Mayor Onorato said that applications

for building permits have been approved by the Village Building inspector based on the business operations same use of the premises. “In this case this is a food service business being replaced by another food service business. Significantly since the operation is similar in use, no Special Use Permit is required.” The Mayor did say however, that the village would not approve the business and sign off on the necessary papers until an agreement was made that they cease operations at midnight.

From page 1 the Board’s agenda was open for discussion on October 5, Trustee Minuto called the recent St. Paul’s contracts a way of “composing a team of experts that each one brings a certain discipline to the table.” “BBB is a preservation architecture specialist, Thornton Tomasetti is the structural engineering firm. Eight, Inc. is the architecture firm Steve Jobs used and they are good problem solvers and good thinkers who I have worked with in the past….Obviously for the St. Paul’s building, the master plan itself is a more than probably one entity can bite off and chew to fairly sit and investigate everything. We want a team of experts assembled and we can see where they’d all fall in line – these are not lightweights, they are all people who know what they are doing. We are going to put together the best investigation we can so we can make the most informed decision,” the trustee said. Resident Bob Orosz told the trustees he has “seen this movie before, we have done this before with hundreds of thousands of dollars on consultants and it never went anywhere – it’s escalated and escalated.” He asked why the first $60,000 would not suffice and another $40,000 had to be presented up front. Orosz said the funds approved now are only throwing away taxpayers’ money. Minuto explained that the firms had to ask for more after preliminary talks with the firms “to ensure the work is as thorough as possible.” He adds that each of the firms brought up great questions on the St. Paul’s structure and the intended usage, “things we should investigate, and this is the time to do that at relatively low costs.” “It was pretty clear we needed to get from them more material, and I asked for more drawings. Each firm has a role to play as we are putting together smart people,” Minuto said at the October 5 meeting. Mayor Brian Daughney also told Orosz that there was no official contractual number approved at the September

21 Board meeting, just a preliminary estimate that had to be adjusted to $100,000 as a result of further communication with the consultants. Orosz still cautioned the Board about the St. Paul’s expense, saying once construction of any kind begins no one can be sure of structural conditions and “what’s behind the wall or under the flooring.” He asked for a realistic picture of what can happen at the site to be demanded and enforced as the village proceeds. Trustee Minuto also clarified for residents that a preliminary study from the three consultants is due to the Board by the end of this year. Orosz started another question but his four minutes were complete, and Mayor Daughney said the conversation can pick up again once there was an update from consultants. The village’s recreation concept for St. Paul’s, first published with the Board of Trustees’ 2017-2018 Priorities List on June 1, was once again challenged by Brian Pinnola, past president of the Historical Society. He stood at the podium for the fourth time in recent months to ask the trustees to consider a redevelopment strategy that includes dedication to preserving historical components of the former military academy and private school, which was built from 1879 to 1883 on orders from the widow of the founder of the village. St. Paul’s last class graduated in 1991; the grounds and structures were acquired by the Village of Garden City in 1992. At the October 5 meeting Pinnola again reiterated the keen interest of many preservationists and others that St. Paul’s status on the National Register of Historic Places be maintained as part of the redevelopment “recreational” concept. Again, his plea was ignored by the Board. On October 5, Mayor Daughney said he’s giving the same answer Pinnola received on September 21: keeping up the National Register status of St. Paul’s would not be a preset condition or priority directed to the consulting firms. Pinnola also contested the hire of Eight, Inc. as he said their website displays mostly retail, storefronts

and shops and not historic preservation sites. “You know our position with the Historical Society as we want the St. Paul’s building to remain on the National Register of Historic Places if any plans should come to fruition,” he said. Back at the September 21 Board meeting Pinnola spoke about the Register under the United States’ Department of the Interior. Online at NPS.gov, the website of the National Parks Service, detailed the cause: “authorized by the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, the National Park Service’s National Register of Historic Places is part of a national program to coordinate and support public and private efforts to identify, evaluate, and protect America’s historic and archeological resources.” Trustee Minuto told Pinnola about

Eight, Inc.’s credentials and said “there are no sacred cows in solving problems” when it comes to St. Paul’s. “I am not going to engage somebody due to the fact that we may or may not be disturbing anyone’s feelings. These guys (Eight, Inc.) are good engineers and problem solvers, we have BBB there running the point as a preservationist firm. If we come to a point where we are looking at programs and we come across problems I’d like to have smart people in the room,” Minuto said. To no avail, Pinnola asked the Board if Steve Jobs’ architects and all the talents assembled would help to preserve the history of St. Paul’s and its part in Garden City’s identity as a National Register listing. His request was still shut down, as the mayor thanked Pinnola for the comments and moved to the next resident’s question.

Garden City Jewish Center welcomes in a New Year

The students of the Garden City Jewish Center’s Religious School have begun their classes for the new year. One of their first activities has been to create a large poster with hands that welcomed all members old and new back into the swing of things. On September 21st they attended the Rosh Hashanah children’s service, blasted shofarim (ram’s horns), participated in creative activities, and helped with challah baking! The children were thrilled to share their braided bread with parents and families as the adult services came to an end. On Saturday, September 30th, there will be a Yom Kippur Children’s Service and activities from 10:30 AM – 12:30 PM, culminating in decorating the Sukkah.

This program is free to the community and open to children ages 3-11 accompanied by at least one adult. The Garden City Jewish Center offers a Sundays-only three hour religious school program for children pre-k through bar or bat mitzvah. The volunteer staff are certified teachers, who provide a hands-on, interesting, fun program of Bible stories, Jewish history, Hebrew, music and art. The Garden City Jewish Center is a warm and friendly Reform congregation where everyone is welcome – Jews of all denominations, dual-faith families, singles and students. Please go to www.gardencityjewishcenter.org for more information!

GC Field Hockey celebrates its spectacular seniors

Field hockey seniors jump for joy! Last week’s varsity field hockey game against Baldwin was cause for a celebration—and not just because of the 6-0 final score! October 5th was Senior Day, a team tradition to celebrate the hard work, dedication, and leadership of the senior members of the team. Honored seniors were Captain Chrissy Giannone, Captain Jenn Medjid, Captain Ann Sullivan, Miller Overbeck, Lauren Durand, Julia Kaval, Kiernan Monaco, Olivia Ostrowski, and Kerry McHugh. Also honored were the team’s faithful managers, seniors Sheila Mohan and Hailey Shafran. Before the celebration, however, the seniors made sure they took care of business. With goals from Captain Chrissy Giannone and Miller Overbeck and two assists from Captain Jenn Medjid, the seniors controlled the scoreboard. Oliva Ostrowski, who has totaled 4 points thus far this season, contributed to the strong senior offense. Freshman Sarah Killcommons, sophomore Kylie Tierney, and juniors Ella Heaney and Caitlin Cook rounded out the score with

one goal each. While the Trojan offense managed 23 shots on goal, the Trojan senior defense denied Baldwin any access to goal. Captain Chrissy Giannone and seniors Kerry McHugh, Julia Kaval, Lauren Durand, and Kiernan Monaco, as well as junior Lianna McDonnell, were merciless at driving the Baldwin’s defense behind the half field mark. For captain and starting goalie, Ann Sullivan, who has saved 26 shots this season, it was a well-earned, stress-free Senior Day. After the first half, junior Katie Mullins relieved her of her duties and protected the goal. After the game, the seniors had dinner and celebrated their athletic accomplishments with teammates, coaches, and their families. Their teammates gave them posters, flowers, monogrammed blankets by Ann Heaney, and lots of hugs! Now the Trojans are determined to taste victory throughout the rest of their season and playoffs. With these amazing seniors, anything’s possible! Hey Red!

Thunder 10’s on a winning streak

This past Sunday started off as a rainy and stormy day, but the only Thunder in the forecast was the GC Thunder 10’s! As the boys walked onto the field at the Community Park, the clouds whitened and cleared and the rain ceased. It was a battle between two of the top teams in the league. The Thunder 10’s looked at their opponents, the Farmingdale Hawks, and knew what had to be done. The boys took it to the Hawks from the opening play and dominated on special teams, offense, and defense. The total team effort on defense continued their streak of 15 scoreless quarters in a row. They will work hard at continuing this as they take on the Franklin Square Warriors. The Thunder 10’s will be playing the Franklin Square Warriors this Sunday at Carey High School. We will be preparing for a win in celebration of the Garden City High School’s Homecoming.

Fall Getaway in the Catskills: Thomas Cole National Historic Site is Site #1 on the Hudson River School Art Trail BY KAREN RUBIN

The first thing you notice about the Thomas Cole House, “Where American Art Was Born,” is the view from his porch – out to the ridges of the Catskills Mountains, the Hudson River curving around a bend. It is not hard to imagine that in Cole’s day, there would have been fields between his house and the river. But it is the same scene immortalized in paintings renowned as the “first American art movement.” Thomas Cole’s Cedar Grove, now the Thomas Cole Historic Site and Site #1 on the Hudson River School Art Trail, has been redone since I last visited – more of the house restored to the way it was when Cole, at 35 years old, married 24-year old Maria Bartow, the niece of the man who owned the house and farm where Cole was renting studio space for 10 years. The guided tour has also been revamped with new innovative, multi-media features as well as personal effects – I love seeing Cole’s top hat, his musical instruments which he played and posed, his paint box, his traveling trunk with his signature and date, 1829 and original paintings, and most especially his studio with his easel and paints and a room devoted to his creative process. The presentation really personalizes the man, brings him into your presence. You start the guided tour in the parlor that Thompson, who really encouraged Cole, turned into a sales office for the artist. What appears to be Cole’s portrait – a video projection – becomes a slide show of his art as a voice narrates from Cole’s own journal and writings. Around the room are projections or digital reproductions of Cole’s paintings (some of Cole’s original paintings are in upstairs rooms we visit). He describes the inspiration and rejuvenation he feels from this wilderness, how he is “deliriously happy” at having his family, and his outrage over the “ravages of the axe” of progress.

Fall Getaway in the Catskills: Thomas Cole National Historic Site is Site #1 on the Hudson River School Art Trail

Continued from page D1 These themes come together in his work: while primarily a painter of landscapes, he expressed his philosophical opinions in allegorical works, the most famous of which are the five-part series, The Course of Empire, which depict the same landscape over generations—from a near state of nature (depicting American Indians) to consummation of empire (Rome), and then decline and desolation, which is now in the collection of the New York Historical Society (and will be on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in

2018); and four-part The Voyage of Life, which are reproduced in his studio. (“Thomas Cole’s Journey: Atlantic Crossings” will be on view at the Met, January 30-May 13, 2018, and feature some of his most iconic works, including The Oxbow (1836) and his five-part series The Course of Empire (1834–36, www.metmuseum. org/exhibitions/listings/2018/thomas-cole,). I appreciate Cole as very possibly America’s first environmentalist, the first to appreciate conservation and raise the alarm over the march of progress at a time when the Industrial Revolution was taking hold and technological progress was worshipped along with capitalism,

as he railed against the “copper-hearted barbarians” and “dollar-godded utilitarians.” “We are still in Eden; the wall that shuts us out of the garden is our own ignorance and folly,” he says, as a projection of his painting, “Expulsion from the Garden of Eden” (1828) appears. Cole worried that America’s rapid expansion and industrial development would destroy the glorious landscape - in 1836, he could see the railroad being built through the valley and he bemoaned the loss of forest along Catskill Creek, “the beauty of environment shorn away.” Cole recognized America as a land in transition – the settled and domesticated juxtaposed with the wild and undomesticated… He witnessed the changes taking place around him.. And in the early 1800s, America was still in process of creating own culture, distinct from the European settlers. Thomas Cole was born in Lancashire, England, in 1801 and emigrated to the United States with his parents and sister (his father was in textiles) in 1818, settling first in Philadelphia, then Steubenville Ohio, then New York City. He had little formal art training; he picked up the basics from a wandering portrait painter. Cole soon focused on landscape and ultimately, Cole transformed the way America thought about nature and the way nature was portrayed on canvas. As an immigrant, Cole was dazzled by America’s vast stretch of untamed wilderness, unlike anything that existed in Europe. At this point in time, though, most Americans did not appreciate the wilderness - they thought of it as something to be feared or exploited. Instead, America was enthralled with industrialization, technology and progress. Cole was 24 years old when he took one of the new steamships up the Hudson River (it was “the thing to do” at the time). He made a painting which sold immediately, came again to make

another painting and that sold immediately, as well. He came so often he looked around for a studio in the village of Catskill. He came to Cedar Grove, John Alexander Thompson’s 110acre farm with an orchard and a hilltop view out to the Hudson River and the Catskill Mountains – the same view we see today - and for the next 10 years, rented a studio in a structure next door to Thompson’s house (where Temple Israel now stands). Cole fell in love with Maria Bartow, Thompson’s niece 11 years younger than Cole, then 35 years old, and moved into Cedar Grove permanently, all living together in the modest house which Thompson had built in 1815. Thompson provided Cole with the two parlors on the main floor to use as “sales rooms” for his painting, and built a studio for Cole, cutting out a window so he would have northern light. Thompson also built a studio for him with a high window to bring in northern light, and we see his paints and easel as if he had just left the room for a moment. Cole’s studio, which Mary’s uncle made for him, installing a high window to bring in northern light, has been restored. It is where he painted one of his most famous series, the four “Voyage of Life” paintings (he painted eight sets of four; one of the sets is in the NewYork Historical Society and will be on display January 2018 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art). We see his paints and easel as if he had just left the room for a moment. Alas, the studio probably contributed to his early death, at the age of 47, when his wife was pregnant with their fifth child – the studio in winter had little ventilation and he was working with turpentine and paints and had a respiratory illness. He died of pleurisy. Mary named their son Thomas Cole, Jr. Frederick Edwin Church, recognized as a prodigy, was 18 years old when Cole, then 43,

took him on as an art student. Cole would take his six-year old son Theodore out with them painting. Paintings by Church that have a small boy are likely Cole’s son. After Cole died, in 1848, Church, who built his Olana on a hilltop on the opposite shore of the Hudson, helped the family, even hiring Cole’s son Theodore as his farm manager. Touring the house is remarkable because it contains many of Cole’s personal effects including several of his paintings, like “Prometheus,” and his special items like musical instruments that he played and used as props for his paintings. All of this is fairly miraculous because the house was sold in the 1960s and the contents auctioned off - the paintings, the furnishings. Over the years, many of the sold items have since come back, like “Uncle Sandy’s” chair, which we see today, which was purchased by a local postman who donated it back to Cedar Grove. In a living room on the second floor, Cole’s letters “appear” on his actual writing desk (triggered by a motion detector); some of the paintings that decorate the room where they would have been are reproductions (the originals held in museums), but some are originals. There are black-and-white photos of his daughter in her later years, sitting in that very room. I am fascinated to see his “magic lantern” (an early slide projector with handpainted glass slides) that drew its light from a candle inside. We appreciate Cole as a man of enormous talents –a poet, essayist and musician in addition to an artist and we see some of his

instruments. We visit his bedroom and see his traveling trunk which he had made on Pearl Street, with his signature and date. We learn that he was close friends with the novelist James Fenimore Cooper and provided illustrations for his work, including “The Last of the Mohicans” (1827) and “The Pioneers.” My favorite room is his “Process Room” where we see his actual sketches, his paint box which he decorated with a beautiful painting and papers and his famous color wheel. On my hikes, I wondered how Cole would have captured the scenes - the sheer logistics of getting to these remote places that take us 20 minutes to reach by car along paved roads. Cole painted at a time before photography was a handy tool, before capped paint tubes made painting “en plein air” as feasible as it was for the Impressionists decades later. I learn that Cole hiked with a pocket easel and pencil. He would get to a place like Sunset Rock by dark (a trail which I hike), camp and stay there a few days. He made copious notes of the smallest details - the light, color (he created a color-wheel for himself which we see), the atmosphere, the vegetation and natural forms. But then he would wait before he painted the scene, for time to pass “to put a veil over inessential detail to turn it into beautiful and sublime...He had a vision of nature as an expression of the divine.” It is important to realize that at the time, a painting afforded the only way for people to see places without actually visiting for themselves. He began to turn his landscapes into allegorical exposition. Over a three-year period,

High School Kids and Social Security BY TOM MARGENAU

I spent part of my 32-year career with the Social Security Administration as a public affairs specialist in San Diego. A big aspect of that job was running around town giving speeches to various groups and organizations. As you might guess, that involved a lot of trips to senior centers and other places where older folks might hang out. It also meant talks to civic groups like Rotary and Kiwanis clubs. And believe it or not, it occasionally involved lectures to high school students. You might think the last thing a high school kid would be interested in, or want to learn about, would be Social Security. And you’d be right. But I thought it was a good idea to get teenagers to think about the subject -- from both a historical and economic viewpoint, and from the perspective of their own budding relationship with the program. Today, I will share with you some of the things I told these kids. The first thing I did was play a word association game. I asked them this question: “What do you think of when I say the words ‘Social Security’?” Inevitably, their responses would be along the lines of “old people” or “my grandparents.” But then I would surprise them by telling them that when I was in high school, I was getting a monthly check from Social Security. I asked them why that was. They usually had surprised and querulous looks on their faces. But inevitably, one of the kids would say, “Maybe one of your parents died, and you are getting a check on his or her Social Security record.” That was the right answer. (My dad died when I was young.) And a little further discussion would unveil the fact that there were a couple kids in each classroom in similar circumstances. Benefits to the children of deceased workers is a big part of Social Security that many people -- high schoolers and their parents and grandparents -- forget about. After my introductory word association game, I would then describe the history of Social Security. And I realized quickly that talking to them about Franklin Delano Roosevelt and his New Deal programs was kind of like talking to them about dinosaurs. It was all ancient history to a teenager. But I did ask them what they thought happened to old people before Social Security came along. How did they get along financially? Where did they live? They were surprised to learn that many older folks moved in with their grown children after they retired. A couple smart-alecky kids would usually say something like, “I sure wouldn’t want my grandma living with me!” I told them that before Social Security, well over half of all senior citizens in this country lived below the poverty level. That number is less than 10 per-

cent today. Following this discussion, it was not uncommon for some of the students to point out that they thought their grandparents were rich because they spent a lot of time traveling to Europe and other places. I suggested to them that Social Security was more than a little bit responsible for their well-being. I also liked to talk to the kids about Social Security and economics -- especially how Social Security fits into the overall federal budget. I’d ask them this question: What do you think the federal government spends most of its money on? I would always get back a whole variety of answers, probably reflecting their parents’ own preconceived notions about government spending. Here are some of the most common answers I’d get: “welfare”... “bombs”...”foreign aid”...”food stamps”...”drug enforcement.” I would then draw a big circle on a blackboard and tell them to think of that circle as the federal government’s spending pie. I would divide that pie into four sections. I’d then label the first piece of the pie “Defense and Homeland Security” because it makes about a fourth of all federal spending. Then I would label the second big piece of the pie “Health Care” -- primarily the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Next, I would ask what the third big piece of the federal spending pie might be. Even though a few would shout out things like food stamps or foreign aid, by now most of the class understood where I was going with this. And they correctly said Social Security. Actually, Social Security is the biggest piece of the pie, making up about 28 percent of all federal expenditures. And that means everything else the federal government does comes out of that last piece of pie -- the remaining one-fourth of federal spending. That’s pretty amazing when you think about it. The government spends money on thousands of programs and projects -NASA, the Centers for Disease Control, the National Park system, the Forest Service, maintaining foreign embassies and consulates, drug enforcement, food stamps, school lunch programs, transportation projects, and on and on. Again, hundreds and hundreds of all these different programs each get a tiny fraction of that quarter piece of pie that’s left after we pay for Social Security, health care and defense. That’s why any talk of reducing government spending without putting those big three on the chopping block is just a lot of hot air. Finally, I would talk to the kids about their own relationship with Social Security. And when you are in high school, it’s a budding romance. (OK, I agree, that’s the wrong term). Most of them were just getting their first jobs at McDonald’s or the local grocery store or wherever. And I would tell them to make sure their employer had their Social Security number correctly recorded so

that they would get proper credit for whatever taxes they were paying. Today, when I think back to those earlier times teaching high school kids about Social Security, I realize that most of them are now pushing 40, probably have families of their own, and have

been working for many years now. I wonder if they remember anything I told them. If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has the answer. Contact him at thomas.margenau@comcast.net. COPYRIGHT 2017 CREATORS.COM

Major changes coming to new home building methods

Across America, home builders are adopting new approaches to construction to create greener homes with better resale value. One major change that’s tackling energy consumption and rising fuel costs is the use of an airtight, solid concrete system to replace inefficient wood framing. Insulated concrete forms (ICFs) erect a building with an interlocking system, similar to Lego. “It’s a switch for builders, but those who have switched over tell us it’s quite easy to build with ICFs,” says Natalie Rodgers of Nudura, a leading name in the field. “Customer demand has driven this change and builders are now seeing how green construction options can have a positive impact on their business.” The ICF system is now the number one choice of wall-building methods for “net-zero” construction in the country. The term net-zero applies to buildings that are energy efficient and don’t tap into any public utility fuel supplies. The goal is for as many homes, schools and public buildings as possible to be designed to be net-zero. Here are some advantages of net-zero construction using ICF. Building guide. Underscoring these proactive measures, the nonprofit organization LEED also reminds us that constructing a green home leaves a much smaller carbon footprint due to less de-

mand on natural resources. Such homes will create less waste and be healthier and more comfortable for the occupants. Fuel savings. Walls built with ICFs are proven to reduce energy bills up to 60 percent, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reduce or eliminate exposure to mold, mildew and other indoor toxins. The net cost over time is comparable to owning a conventional home and the resale return is generally assured. Durability. Concrete is strong. Due to high-impact resistance, these concrete walls assure maximum safety in high wind areas. Fire resistance is also reported to be maximized at four hours. Comfort. Unlike in conventional wooded frames, air gaps are eliminated in ICF, minimizing the potential for mold growth and draft. The end result is an airtight structure that enables the mechanical systems to heat, cool and ventilate the structure more efficiently, creating a healthier living and working environment. Responsibility. The materials are recyclable and the system is designed to create less landfill waste during the construction process. Combined with other eco-construction methods, this concrete system will significantly reduce carbon emissions by lowering the amount of fossil fuels needed for heating and cooling.

Maintaining a home that is welcoming and kid-friendly can be challenging. Kids are full of energy and oftentimes put fun ahead of tidiness. But no matter how energetic their youngsters are, parents can still employ several strategies to ensure their homes are both sophisticated and child-friendly. • Consider an open floor plan. Rooms that flow into one another make it easier to keep tabs on children. Such rooms also allow residents and guests to mingle in separate rooms but not be too far away from one another. • Choose washable fabrics. Upholstery will need to stand up to the abuse kids can dish out. Sofas and chairs with slipcovers can be advantageous because many slipcovers can be easily removed and laundered. Patterned fabrics will hide some stains, while treated fabrics may resist liquid spills for easier cleanup. • Create a catch-all spot. Special bins or other organizational tools in the entryway can help to cull clutter when children come in the house from school or play. Be sure the keep cubbies, con-

tainers and coat hooks at a child-friendly height. • Look for high-traffic rugs. Rugs designed for high-traffic areas will be more forgiving when children march across them several times per day. There are no rules that say you can’t bring an outdoor rug inside, and these rugs tend to be easier to clean. • Ensure there is plenty of seating. Sectionals give children ample room to spread out. And ample seating ensures there is enough room for kids to invite their friends over to hang out. • Think outside pink and blue. For children’s rooms, make sure they’re colorful, but consider other hues to give the rooms some personality. Focus on a hobby or activity and borrow the color scheme from the accessories used for decorating. • Hang whimsical artwork. Employ framing and lighting to make kids’ artwork look like professional pieces. Routinely change the pictures when a new look is desired. • Designate a place for play. Devote an entire room or a nook in a house for

imaginative play. Store toys here so these items will not create clutter in individual bedrooms. Creating child-friendly spaces while

ensuring a home maintains a sophisticated feel is easier than parents might think.

Bold colors add vitality to homes other. Green paired with pink (a lighter shade of green’s opposite, red) calls to mind the great outdoors. These hues can add a touch of floral spring sunshine even when that season has long since passed. Opt for a deep green and a carnation pink for maximum impact. And don’t forget a vase full of fresh blooms as the finishing factor.

Lavender and deep blue Analogous colors are three colors that sit side-by-side on the color wheel and share a common denominator in terms of shade. Lavender, blue and an orchid pink are examples of such hues. This cool, regal combination can add femininity to a bedroom or even drama to another space in the house. If painting the walls dark blue or lavender seems scary, opt for a neutral shade on walls and then dress up the space with inky and violet accents. Whether it’s Independence Day, St. Patrick’s Day or the holiday season, the bold hues that are synonymous with these events add a splash of color to rooms that can use a little design lift. While some colors may be synonymous with certain times of year, homeowners can employ bold colors in their homes all year long. By embracing bold painting and decorating styles, homeowners can use fresh color palettes to make rooms more inviting and colorful. These popular color combinations can provide inspiration. Green and pink Colors on opposite ends of the color wheel will always complement each

Turquoise and brick red Enhance the “wow” factor with these bold colors. Although they are striking, when they work together, they also can impart a soothing feel, particularly since they are often inspired by Asian influences. Feature a light turquoise sofa with red throw pillows. Or dress up meals with a red tablecloth on the dining table and turquoise, white and red, patterned place mats. Gray and yellow Yellow is a pick-me-up color any time of the year, but, when combined with a gray, it’s toned down to be soothing instead of startling. This color combination is popular in kitchens, nurseries and entryways. Have fun in the kitchen with mottled gray stone countertops,

pale yellow walls and canary café curtains. Color can affect mood and transform spaces with just a small investment of

time and money. Homeowners can experiment with color palettes so rooms remain vibrant all year long.

How to find the right replacement windows cost-effective to replace very old and/ or inefficient windows to improve their energy efficiency. Such an upgrade can save homeowners substantial amounts of money on heating and cooling costs. Window replacement projects can be costly, so it pays to get the job right the first time. Before beginning a window replacement project, homeowners should research which windows will meet their specific needs, learning the subtleties between finishes and features, as well as comparing prices for the windows and installation. Choose the right time of year The best time of year to plan window replacement is when the weather will be warm, ideally in the spring or early summer. However, homeowners do not want conditions to be too warm, as each room where new windows will be installed will temporarily be exposed to the elements. Furthermore, caulk adheres better in warmer weather and will dispense easily.

Replacement windows can be a smart investment in comfort and design appeal of a home.

Replacing old windows is often a worthwhile investment for homeowners. Energy-efficient windows can prevent heating and cooling loss and keep homes more comfortable throughout the year. Such windows also can improve

a home’s resale value, proving a good return on investment for homeowners who want to upgrade their homes before putting them on the market. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, homeowners might find it more

Consider available features When replacing windows, homeowners may want to install the same style windows they currently have. But the problems that led to the need to replace windows may still exist even when new windows are installed. When replacing windows, consider energy performance ratings based on the locations of the windows in the house. To make sure they make the most educated decision, homeowners can investigate the solar heat gain coefficient, U-factor, visible

transmittance and light-to-solar gain. Explanations of these ratings are available at Energy.gov. Don’t ignore maintenance needs Maintenance costs involved with cleaning, repairs and painting can add up. When shopping for windows, consider the amount of maintenance they will need. Wood-framed windows may require more upkeep than aluminum, fiberglass or vinyl. Also, consider if certain window types, such as double-hung windows, casement windows, awning windows, or slider windows, would be practical. Keep home style in mind A poor match between windows and the style of the home can produce unwanted changes in the appearance of the home. Replacement windows should match the style and appearance desired. Expect minimal disruption When homeowners hire professionals who are good at their craft, window replacement projects should not be a terrible inconvenience. According to American Window Products, Inc., seasoned professionals will be able to complete a replacement window upgrade in a short amount of time depending on the size of the home and the number of windows being replaced. Replacing windows can be a costly task, but one that will provide a more energy efficient home that can help homeowners save money in the long run.

How to create an effective workflow in the kitchen

Bathroom and kitchen makeovers are some of the most coveted and profitable improvements that can be made to a home. Installing new cabinetry, countertops and appliances can transform the look of a kitchen, but homeowners also must consider the functionality of design when renovating. The National Kitchen and Bath Association suggests applying the kitchen “work triangle,” which is a concept used to create efficient kitchen layouts. The triangle comprises imaginary straight lines drawn from the cooking appliance, sink and refrigerator. These are where much of the work in the kitchen takes place. The general idea is that when the work triangle is positioned accordingly — with the three components in close proximity to one another — the kitchen is easier and more efficient to use. Homeowners will be able to move freely among these elements when they are placed at appropriate distances, reducing wasted steps.

The NKBA suggests following these guidelines to create efficient kitchens. • No major traffic patterns should cross through the triangle. • The sum of the work triangle’s three sides should not exceed 26 feet. Each portion of the triangle should be between four and nine feet. • Avoid cutting through an island or a peninsula. • If the kitchen has only one sink, it should be placed between or across from the cooking surface, preparation area or refrigerator. The work triangle is a suggestion, not a law of design. As kitchens evolve and more people use them simultaneously, designers may take certain liberties — even having multiple triangles at play. Homeowners should also design their kitchens so they function best for their own individual lifestyles. Kitchen layout can be just as important as the decor and appliances within the kitchen.

Homeowners looking to renovate often see room for improvement in their kitchens and bathrooms. The National Association of Home Builder’s Remodeling Market Index Survey, which measures conditions in the remodeling market, indicates that, in 2015, the two most common remodeling jobs were bathroom remodels (81 percent) and kitchen remodels (79 percent). According to HGTV and Statistics Brain, a new kitchen remodel for a kitchen measuring 12 by 12 feet may cost homeowners anywhere from $17,000 to $37,000. Before investing so much into their remodeling projects, homeowners should think carefully about the features that will improve their time spent at home. When planning a kitchen renovation, homeowners may want to consider the following upgrades to make the room more enjoyable while improving its functionality. Oversized sink Although high-efficiency dishwashers are popular, deep sinks to soak soup pots or woks are still useful. Deep sinks may be preferable to double sinks, especially for homeowners who use lots of kitchen tools when preparing meals. Soft-closing hinges When replacing cabinets (or just the hardware), consider installing soft-closing hinges and slides on doors and drawers. These devices eliminate slamming and caught fingers, reducing noise and injuries in the kitchen. Foot-pedal water operation When outfitting a sink, think about foot con-

trols, which are popular in doctors’ offices and hospitals. Turning on the water with the tap of a foot can reduce the transfer of pathogens to faucets from hands during food preparation. These pedals also free up hands for other tasks. Bottom’s up People likely spend more time raiding the refrigerator than the freezer on any given day. Rather than having to bend down to seek out that favorite flavor of Greek yogurt, choose a model with the fridge on top and freezer on the bottom, especially if anyone in the household has mobility issues. When shopping for refrigerators, French-door style units may offer even more access, making it easy for homeowners to slide fruit trays, sheet cakes and other large items into the fridge.

Extra lighting A kitchen should be a balance of form and function. A combination of overhead lighting, decorative lighting and task lighting can illuminate all areas of the space effectively. Appliance garages Architectural and design resource Houzz says that appliance garages are popular kitchen additions, too. Set at countertop level, these cabinets allow people to keep small appliances plugged in but tucked neatly behind closed doors. Kitchen remodels are a sizable investment, and renovations can be customized to make the kitchen more hospitable for all in residence.

Lessons From a 2-Year-Old BY MARY HUNT I gave my son and daughter-in-law lots of gifts when their son, Elijah, was born. But none has come back to bless me more than the gift of Friday. Since he was 6 weeks old, I’ve closed the door to work on Fridays to care for and learn from my grandson, Eli. In these two years, Eli and I have explored our neighborhood looking for cats, dogs, bugs and birds. We have met neighbors we didn’t know and found the skunk we knew existed but had never seen. We’ve played at the park, counted planes and listened for fire engines. Last week, we took a walk to the 99 Cents Only store to see whether we could find anything from the movie “Toy Story.” I was fully prepared to shell out a buck or two if indeed we could find anything. I figured it was doubtful, given the kind of store it is. But the most amazing thing happened. Before we could even get through the door, Eli locked eyeballs with Buzz and Woody on a gift bag. I was surprised and reacted with great drama, which made him laugh hysterically. As we walked up and down the aisles, Eli made one “Toy Story” discovery after another.

I would have never noticed the things he found -- photo albums, stickers, books, pencils, cups, plates, cards, keychains and other “Toy Story”-branded trinkets. The more things he found the more I reacted, which only spurred him on. Here is where Eli and I are not at all the same: He didn’t want any of these things. He just loved finding them. The fun of discovery became its own reward. I, on the other hand, have some kind of automatic response mechanism that insists that if I love it, I must then buy it. I learned a couple of important lessons from Eli that Friday. First, I don’t have to own things to enjoy them. Isn’t that an amazing thought? Just because I don’t own it doesn’t mean I cannot enjoy it from afar. Second, often there’s greater value in doing things together than in owning things. Creating this little game and then beating me at it over and over provided Eli with so much fun and enjoyment that the thought of actually buying all that stuff didn’t seem to cross his mind. He loved doing more than getting. After a half-hour of treasure hunting, Eli took a ride on the 50-cent me-

chanical horse, and then we walked home. On the way, between taking in the wonders of bugs on the sidewalk and trying to decide whether it was going to rain, he said, “Ahma, that was a fun store. Go again next week?” You bet we will, Eli. And next week, we’ll look for cars, trucks and anything green. And we’ll count the cracks in the sidewalk and look for caterpillars. We’ll laugh and run and count to 20. We’ll enjoy every minute and make memories for a lifetime without having to buy a thing. Update: I wrote the foregoing in my journal more than six years ago. In what seems like the blink of an eye, Eli is now 8. Since then, little brother Sam has joined our fun Friday adventures. Though it has little resemblance to the 99 Cents Only store, Costco is the place Sam, age 2, and I look for hidden trea-

sure. He prefers Mickey Mouse to “Toy Story,” and sure enough, without fail, he discovers that mouse over and over again on merchandise, posters and displays that I would never notice in a million years!

GC Basketball registration is underway The Garden City Basketball K-1-2 Clinic will be held on Sundays from 12:30pm-2:15pm at the St Paul’s Fieldhouse. The season will begin Sunday, December 3rd and run through Sunday March 4, 2018. We have off dates for Christmas, New Years, Martin Luther King and Presidents holidays. Registration continues to be $125 with NO LATE FEES. Our nationally recognized clinic for kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade boys & girls uses 8 ft baskets and stations of different foundational skills & drills. Professionals recommend staying at a lower basket as not to create poor shooting mechanics in younger players. Please use the “clinic link” on our website for background on the skills/

format/structure of the clinic. Please note that this is a clinic and teams are not formed and participants are not called.

GCHS Girls Soccer downs Manhasset

The GCHS girls soccer team is on a roll winning back to back games of late, first against South Side last week, and most recently against the Manhasset Indians last Thursday by a score of 1-0. Like every game this season thus far, the competition was fierce for possession of the ball in the midfield, and a one goal margin would decide the whole game, evidencing just how close each game has been. With home field advantage, Manhasset got out to a fast start, taking it to GC’s defense early on. GC’s Julia Choi, Kelly Brennan, Siobhan Coen, Melissa Whitney, Julia Kavan, and Meghan Galligan were not about to let the Indians walk in on their goalie repelling their early charge. Thereafter, both teams fought for possession in the midfield and pressured

for a goal throughout the first half. The break in the game came seven minutes into the second half, when GC was awarded a direct kick outside the box. Freshman Kelly Brennan took the kick and served the ball up perfectly into the box to a waiting Jackie Morris. Jackie was able to turn and get a rocket shot off on goal. Manhasset’s goalie stopped the shot but dropped the ball, at which point Mary Haggerty took at crack at it striking the cross bar. On the rebound, senior captain Julia Kavan headed the ball into the back of the net for a 1-0 lead! With 33 minutes to play, the Trojan defense went into a shell and shut down Manhasset’s efforts to even the score for the rest of the game while the halfbacks and strikers kept pressure

on Manhasset’s goalie. Alexa Pyatsky made five saves in the win for her second shutout of the season. With the win against Manhasset, GC moves to fourth place in their conference (AB-1) as they head into the home stretch before playoffs begin in the last week of October. The Trojans take on Kellenberg Memorial High School in a non-conference game today and face off against first place North Shore on Monday (10/16). The last game of the regular season will be against Lynbrook on Wednesday (10/18), Senior Day! Please

come out and cheer the girls on to victory and to celebrate the Seniors: Captains Julia Kavan, Jackie Morris, Deanna Weisenburger and Melissa Whitney; Alexa Pyatsky, Ava Prime, Siobhan Coen, Claire Haggerty, Julia Choi, Meghan Galligan, Cate Schick; and Managers Catherine Conway and Julia McNally.

Thunder 9â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vs. East Rockaway

The Thunder 9â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s are ready to play as they rip through their sign. It was a rainy Sunday afternoon, and the Garden City Thunder 9â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looked to get back on the winning track against East Rockaway Raiders. The team was pumped up with music blasting as they ran through their custom banner. This weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s captains, Chase Kraus, Jimmy Barry, and Gabe Cohen, took the field, and the team was ready for action after a long week of practice. With a shortened roster, it was up to the boys to fight and play hard, and their determination was on full display. Thomas Gamba, Patrick Corrigan,

and Gregory Buccella stepped up admirably into new roles that helped solidify the Thunder â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dâ&#x20AC;?, while Gabe Cohen and Michael Griffin both found themselves in new positions that they quickly excelled in. The Raidersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offense was slowed down by first year players Jimmy Barry and Max Milano as they continued their growth as football players in this tough battle. In the middle of the defensive line, the formidable partnership of James Logler and Mark Gemmell proved that these teammates

always have each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back. Back on offense, Ryan Haniffy made sure he got the football to playmakers James Sullivan and Merit Ruckh securely and often, while the biggest plays of the Thunder 9â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day came from two long touchdown runs by speedsters Garvis Toler and Will Mattice. Both runs were made possible thanks to Timmy Levelis, Alex Giuffre, Conor Fortney, and Chase Kraus, who gave the offensive line the push and protection they needed. In the end, the score board did

The Thunder offensive line of Alex Giuffre (74), Conor Fortney (31) and Mike Griffin (7) protected their Captains, Gabe Cohen (29), Jimmy Barry (1), and teammates all game long. Chase Kraus (26), meet their opponents. GC-CHERRY 1-8 Page - 08-02-17_Layout 1 8/2/17 3:55 PM Page 1
