THREE CHEERS FOR GARDEN CITY

Clock stopped: HS start time stays early BY RIKKI N. MASSAND

At its work session on Wednesday night, October 11, the Garden City Board of Education vowed to continue work on moving the high school starting time back to 8:30 a.m., but said that a decision cannot be made in time for next school year. The Board looks forward to having a fifth board member in the spring 2018 election and on top of that, a new superintendent of schools in place by

summer 2018 and having those additional points of view on the intiative. One reason the board deferred its decision was because the proposal could have moved the Garden City Middle School starting time up to 7:40 a.m. along with pushing the high school’s back to 8:30 a.m. That would have left last period as “gap time” at GCMS, requiring a voluntary study hall period to be staffed by at least two and as many as eight chaperones, and includ-

ing the compensation for their time. Also the district administration was hesitant about an “open campus” atmosphere for the Middle School children should the students be allowed to leave and be picked up or walk home around 2:30 in the afternoon and come back for after-school activities. There would have been approximately 40 minutes between the end of a GCMS academic day and the beginning of the Middle See page 27

During a work session on Wednesday, November 1 the Garden City Zoning Change Review Committee will hear an application from a deveoper who seeks to build 150 units of housing at 555 Stewart Avenue. Because the Village is under a federal court order related to losing a housing descrimination case in 2014, the developer may be required to make at least ten percent of those units "affordable housing." The Village’s Fair Housing Compliance Officer, Anthony M. La Pinta said he will attend the November 1 public work session. La Pinta was appointed by U.S. District Court Judge Arthur Spatt to supervise the village’s compliance with the judgment in the MHANY housing discrimination lawsuit, which the Village lost in 2014. “The judgment has to do with the developer’s obligation to set aside a certain number of units for affordable housing. It is the law that the developer (550 Stewart Acquisitions, LLC) must put aside a certain percentage regarding their number of units. The November 1 work session is to discuss a possibility of a zoning change or whether the village will consider a special use permit for that parcel (555 Stewart) to allow the development to go up. It is the village’s responsibility to deal with the zoning aspect of the developer’s plan to develop the property. The Board of Trustees will need to decide if they will proceed with a village zoning change or a special use permit that will allow construction of that project,” La Pinta said. Judge Spatt’s MHANY case judgment says that the Village of Garden City require applications for new housing developments consisting of five units or more to have a 10% allocation reserved for Affordable Housing. As part of a letter dated February 11, 2016, from La Pinta to the Village of Garden City’s counsel (Cullen & Dykman, LLP of Garden City and Hogan Lovells U.S. LLP of Manhattan) La Pinta suggested creating an information packet for developers of multi-unit housing proposals including not-for-profit developers as well as private market sub-dividers and site plan applicants “which spells out the affordable housing requirements of the judgement.” La Pinta also addressed the 555 Stewart Avenue concept specifically, as it had existed prior to the ramifications of the MHANY judgement on Garden City. About 18 months ago in his letter, La Pinta noted for 555 Stewart Avenue “this initial application did not include the required 10% affordable housing required by the judgement. I have learned this omission was not the fault of the village. The village did notify the owner/developer of this legal requirement. Accordingly the required affordable housing was added to the amended application…. The Village of Garden City should take all reasonable and necessary actions to overcome any barriers to the re-zoning of this development, which is one of the few larger-scale opportunities in the village to See page 27

Democracy in Action?

To the Editor: At the last public meeting of the Board of Trustees a motion was past to reduce the number of public meetings to one per month. Traditionally there have always been two in most months. This change was passed as one item of many on the “Consent Calendar”. This means that unless a trustee requests to withdraw an item for further discussion the item passes without each trustee having to vote individually on it Therefore, even if a resident recognizes the significance of the item and expresses their view, but no trustee acts on the resident’s concern, there is NO DISCUSSION of the merits of the motion. The result of reducing the number of meetings is that resident concerns and opportunities to personally address their concerns with the trustees and department heads in public is delayed or, perhaps, eliminated. In the past, the two meeting per month schedule has proved beneficial for residents as they have more opportunities to express their views where their concerns can receive the consideration of more than one village staff person. Over the past several months we have seen the elimination of Trustee liaison assignments to the Library Board, the Historical Society, Cultural and Recreational Affairs, Chamber of Commerce, Planning Commission and Board of Education. In addition, the committee commonly called the “Traffic Commission” reduced the number of meetings to one, one hour meeting every other month. To my knowledge, no justification for these reductions has ever been given to the public. Lastly, the Joint Conference Committee (JCC) has not met in at least seven months. This is a committee composed of the presidents and vice presidents of the four Property Owners Associations (POA) and chaired by the POA of the Mayors section. The stated goal of this commission is “The overall purpose of the Joint Conference

Committee is to coordinate the efforts of the four property owners associations of Garden City in order to assist the Village directly and indirectly in specified matters as well as to support each of the other POA’s in, community, localized and surrounding community issues that impact the village.” In other words, the JCC is the vehicle for the residents to have their voices, as presented through their POA, to the Board of Trustees. Democracy requires the consent of the governed and, to me, these changes reduce our opportunity to express our views and give our consent. Arnold Finamore

Board of Trustees Meeting Schedule

Dear Mayor and Trustees: The Western Property Owners Association (WPOA) strongly urges the Village Board of Trustees to reinstate a second monthly meeting date to the remainder of the Board’s 2017-2018 public meeting calendar. This would ensure the scheduling of two public meetings during the months of November and December 2017 and February, March and April 2018. Eliminating one public meeting during the above cited months would cut back residents access to the full board, deny residents opportunities to hear the thoughts and views of trustees on village matters , and shorten the occasions when the full board of trustees can hear directly from residents. Eliminating one public Board of Trustees meeting a month hampers communication among residents and trustees at a time when important issues are on the table, such as the fate of St. Paul’s School, much needed repairs to infrastructure including the public library, and necessary repairs and renovations to the community’s three firehouses. Notably, cutting back on the number of public meetings shrouds the transparency of government, and without access to the full board of eight individuals, residents are left to wonder See page 46

At the Board of Education work session held Wednesday, October 11, the school board heard a report from its consultant, Hazard, Young, Attea & Associates (HYA) regarding the search for a new superintendent of schools. Robert Roelle, Ed.D, and Deborah Raizes met with various groups in the Garden City school district and community to develop a “Leadership Profile” after learning about the needs of the district. The firm will make recommendations as it searches for a replacement for Dr. Robert Feirsen, former superintendent of schools, who served for 12 years before retiring in July. Dr. Alan Groveman is serving as the interim superintendent of the district this year and his contract will expire next summer, and the board of education plans to name a successor by that time. As of last week the executive search firm, HYA, had contacted 20 candidates for the superintendent position and Roelle announced that interviews would begin with the consultants in fall before the HYA duo helps reduce the field of candidates to “a slate of five to six” by this winter. HYA (Roelle and Raizes) plans to develop questions for the school board to ask those final can-

didates when they proceed to in-district interviews as each candidate will receive a copy of the Garden City Public Schools Leadership Profile, which School Board President Angela Heineman said would be posted online in the “Superintendent Search” section by Friday, October 13. Once that is done the HYA firm posted it to its website for applicants to review it. Roelle said HYA received a handful of candidate referrals from other HYA consultants as well as from participants in its community focus groups held in September. As October began, he and Raizes began talking with their HYA firm network of colleagues about potential candidates. “This Leadership Profile comes after the community generated tremendous information for us, and some of it is raw. The board made a commitment to the schools’ community that it will be involved in this candidate search. We will always take any recommendations seriously, and overall it reflects the values of the Garden City Schools community. We will target the questions for the candidates based upon the district Leadership Profile,” Roelle explained at the October work session. He says as he and Raizes continue See page 28

Superintendent search consultant reports on progress

The Garden City Turkey Trot, Long Island’s largest Thanksgiving Day road race, is celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2017. Long Island’s largest Thanksgiving Day road race will mark its 40th anniversary this November in Garden City. The annual Garden City Turkey Trot, a treasured community tradition, attracts runners from all over Long Island and beyond, including multi-generational families that have made the event a special part of their holiday. Three races are offered: the Challenger Division Race for special needs athletes at 8:30 a.m., a 1.4-mile Fun Run at 9:15 a.m. and the 5-Mile Race at 10:00 a.m. All three races start and finish in front of the St. Paul’s site, 285 Stewart Avenue near the corner of Rockaway Avenue and Stewart Avenue in the center of Garden City.

More than 6,600 runners participated in the 2016 Fun Run and 5-Mile Race. The event has seen tremendous success spanning the last four decades. The Turkey Trot Race Committee works year-round to put on the quality event and thanks to the generosity of numerous corporate sponsors, the Garden City Turkey Trot is able to offer runners a big race experience while raising well over $1 million for charities over the years. The Garden City Turkey Trot will once again benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, the Muscular Dystrophy Association and The INN. Runners are encouraged to bring See page 28

Adelphi forum held on dangers of opiates

BY GARY SIMEONE

A panel on Long Island’s current opioid crisis was held at Adelphi University last Thursday and speakers included Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas and President of the Family and Children’s Association, Dr. Jeffrey Reynolds. The event was entitled ‘Smacked by the Storm: How Long Island Can Recover From its Current Opioid Crisis.’ Three panels were set up to include the areas of prevention, treatment and recovery. Singas, who has been a strong proponent of fighting the war on the current opioid epidemic, said she spends a lot of time speaking to people and educating them about the dangers of opioid addiction. “I want to make sure that people are able to get the help they need and that we’re doing all we can do to combat this epidemic,” said Singas. She said that the District Attorney’s office follows a three pronged approach to the current epidemic that includes a combination of education, prevention and treatment. “It’s heartbreaking, the incredible reach this drug has. It doesn’t seem to matter how much money people have or where they live. This epidemic is affecting all populations.” Dr. Reynolds, who has worked for the LI Council on Alcoholism and Drug

Dependence and NY state Governor Cuomo’s Heroin and Opioids Task Force, said the key things to focus on in this epidemic are awareness and prevention, access to treatment, and keeping tabs on people who are in recovery. “Particularly in the recovery phase, we want to make sure these people have a support system and are not left to fall through the cracks,” said Reynolds. “It’s important to have a practitioner talking to these patients every visit.” He said that it is important to nip the problem in the bud early to catch kids who might be tempted to try prescription pain pills or heroin. One of the ideas he had was setting up sober dorms on college campuses and universities and getting kids involved in a twelve step program to educate them on the dangers of these drugs. Linda Ventura, a panelist, and part of the Thomas Hope Foundation, said that this epidemic has been allowed to grow out of control without anyone taking steps to intercede. “We’ve allowed this disease to become uncontrollable in this country and something needs to be done,” said Hope, who lost her son due to a heroin overdose. As part of the forum, the public was allowed to drop off expired or unused medications without any questions asked.

9 Mayor@gardencityny.net As previously announced, the Board of Trustees and the Village Staff have embarked on new methods and procedures to communicate with members of our community, including our residents, commercial tenants and landlords, visitors, friends at Adelphi and local merchants. We are no longer publishing the “Mayor’s Column.” This weekly column is intended to advise our residents and community of matters that our Board of Trustees and Departments are working on, events and other important information. And of course, please visit our website for additional information: www.gardencityny.net. We are constantly updating and making changes to the website in order to keep it relevant and provide new information. We also encourage you to attend Village Board of Trustees meetings. See the schedule of meetings on our website. Our next meeting is November 16, 2017.

555 Stewart Ave. Public Work Session

The Zoning Change Review Committee will hold a public work session on November 1, 2017 in the Village Hall Boardroom beginning at 7:00 p.m. The work session relates to

an application filed with the Building Department to erect a 150-resident unit complex at 555 Stewart Avenue. As presently proposed, in order to facilitate the development, the applicant, 555 Stewart Acquisitions, LLC, is requesting the Village either amend existing zoning for the property or create a new zoning classification to permit multiple dwellings. The Zoning Change Review Committee is required to hold a public work session on the application prior to issuing a report and recommendation to the Board of Trustees. Comments will be accepted from the public. Residents are encouraged to attend.

LED lighting in Wye Parking Lot, potential streetscape changes

The Village is studying and considering several issues related to our streetscapes in the central business district (Seventh Street and Franklin Avenue) and along New Hyde Park Road in the West. As previously announced, the Village has asked the Village Planning Commission to assist it with such considerations. Among the many items being considered are potential changes or modifications to parking lots, planting beds, sidewalk materials, irrigation, tree boxes and

lighting. A meeting of the Planning Commission was held last week and the Planning Commission recommended retaining a parking expert as an initial step. The consultant expects to expand upon similar services it provided to the Village in 2016. As discussed at the Planning Commission meeting, the types of usages in our commercial buildings have changed over time and combined with more restaurants, food establishments and medical offices in the Village, the pressures and needs in our parking lots need to be re-visited. The Village is taking steps now to improve the Wye parking lot in an attempt to make it a more attractive lot and perhaps relieve pressure from Field 7S, which is immediately behind the south side of Seventh Street. Department of Public Works (DPW) officials have met with the Village lighting contractors in order to scope out designs to improve lighting in the lot. This will potentially include installing additional LED light fixtures to existing poles and/or installing additional light poles, particularly in the southern and eastern sections of the lot. We are also looking at improving the lighting and remov-

ing overgrowth of vegetation along the walkway from Franklin Avenue to the Wye lot and are seeking to have the electric utility substation that presently bifurcates the Wye lot moved to another area. We are mindful of the potential impact of lighting on the neighborhood and will ensure that this additional lighting will have minimal impact on the surrounding residences. In August, Village Parks crews cleaned up overgrowth around the lot and DPW crews repaired asphalt and made repairs to storm drains in the Wye parking field, which is located behind the Chamber of Commerce building on Seventh Street. Trustees are also considering re-paving the entire lot if adequate funding and the timing of other paving projects can be coordinated.

Smoke, no fire: On October 17th Garden City Firefighters responded to a smoke condition at Garden City Plaza. Upon investigation, the cause of the condition was due to a worn out elevator belt.

AAA Northeast awarded the Village of Garden City with a Platinum Award during its 53rd annual Community Traffic Safety Awards Program held this month at The Garden City Hotel. This is the third platinum award the Village has received in the past five years. After doing a detailed analysis of local crash data, the Village sought to reduce crash rates at specific accident-prone locations by making engineering changes and stepping up enforcement. In particular, marked improvements were made surrounding the Garden City Senior Center on Golf Club Lane where crosswalks, illuminated Stop signs and a Do Not Turn sign were installed. In the vicinity of Adelphi University, signage and street improvements were installed to enhance the safety of pedestrian traffic. The Village Police Department was also recognized for its outstanding efforts in traffic enforcement, particularly their efforts to curtail impaired driving, making 44 Impaired Driving arrests in 2016. In that same year the Police Department issued more than 10,500 tickets for various traffic and safety violations.

Environmental Advisory Board Student Representatives

At its October 5, 2017 Board meeting, Trustees appointed two Garden City High School students to serve on Garden City’s Environmental Advisory Board (EAB). Aidan Pfaff and Thomas Grlic have both taken Honors science classes and upon graduation are both interested in an engineering or science major. “We look forward to them joining us on the Environmental Advisory Board,” said Trustee John Delany, EAB chairman. “Thank you very much for volunteering. We appreciate your time,” Mayor Brian Daughney added.

St. Paul’s Project Update

In September, the Village Board unanimously approved retaining three separate engineering, architectural and structural firms to assist it with an initial conceptual plan for the former St. Paul’s School and surrounding area. We are in the very early stages of considering the transformation of the former school into a recreation/community based type facility. No definitive plans have been decided upon. We expect to sign agreements this week with the three approved firms: Beyer, Blinder, Belle; Thornton Tomasetti; and Eight, Inc. We hope to have some early stage feedback from the firms in December.

Approved Board Meeting Dates

Trustees set Board meeting dates for the balance of the official year at their October 5, 2017 meeting. The Board expects to add additional meetings for November and December and several other months. The additional dates will be appropriately advertised on the Village’s website. The following dates were already approved: • November 16, 2017 • December 14, 2017 • January 11, 2018 • February 27, 2018 • March 15, 2018 • April 12, 2018

The Garden City Central Property Owners’ Association is seeking applications for the position of junior ambassador for the upcoming year (2017 2018). This position is highly coveted by all students who wish to become involved in Village Government. The application can be found on the Village website under the CPOA High School Ambassador Program, or by calling the current Senior Ambassador, Layne Meyer, at (516) 350-3352. Layne has served for the past year as Junior Ambassador and is just beginning his term as Senior Ambassador. He will be happy to describe his experience of the past year and will explain all that is involved in the position. Applications may be submitted to Miss Balantic, Chair of the Social Studies Department at Garden City High School, or directly to the Central Property Association at P.O. Box 155, Garden City, NY 11530. The High School Ambassador Program has been functioning under the auspices of the CPOA with great success since 2009. The purpose of the program is to introduce high school age students to the “workings” of Village Government, and to enable them to actually participate in the activities and

decision-making process with which our Village government operates. The Ambassador is expected to attend the monthly meetings (on the second Tuesday of the month) of the CPOA, and to join other Village committee meetings such as those of the Board of Trustees, Board of Education, Board of Zoning Appeals, Recreation etc. at least one each month, and report back to the CPOA with an overview of the subjects discussed at such meetings. The Ambassador is also encouraged to give his/her opinion about the items on the agendas of these committee meetings. While serving as Ambassador, the student will complete a project of his choice - one that is aligned with, and will assist in, the operation of the CPOA, as well as be beneficial to the community. At the end of the Ambassador’s term (two years) he/she will be presented with an Honorarium in recognition of his/her participation on the Board. This position is open to all high school juniors regardless of the high school he/she attends. The deadline for application is October 30th.

Worship commemoration of 500th anniversary of Reformation

Rev. Karen Georgia A. Thompson BY MELVA VICTORINO It was 500 years ago when Martin Luther penned and nailed his 95 Theses on the door of Christ Church in Wittenberg, Germany and sparked the Protestant Reformation. Although

these ideas had been advanced before, Martin Luther codified them at a moment in history ripe for religious reformation. Martin Luther was a German professor of theology, priest, monk, and a composer. One of his best known hymns is “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God”, which paraphrases Psalm 46. To commemorate the 500th anniversary of Reformation, the Metropolitan Association of the United Church of Christ (UCC) of the New York Conference will celebrate a worship service at the Garden City Community Church on Saturday, October 28th at 2:00 – 3:30 PM. Gathering music will start at 1:45 PM. Light refreshments will follow at Gardner Hall, accessible through an elevator. The Rev. Karen Georgia A. Thompson will be the guest preacher. She is the Minister for Ecumenical & Interfaith Relations of the United Church of Christ. She will preach on “Living The Good Life” from Ephesians 2:1-10. Rev. Karen Georgia A. Thompson serves as the Minister for Ecumenical and Interfaith Relations in the Office of the General Minister and President of the United Church of Christ. She is an inspiring preacher, teacher, poet, and

published author sharing her skills and gifts in a variety of settings nationally and internationally.

It’s cool to be in school with Spirit Day sunglasses!

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

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

Early Childhood Education Week • Oct. 22-28

St. Joseph’s “Sponsor A Family” for Thanksgiving 2017 – Sign-up now

Co- Chairs, Eileen Hoey, left and Pat DiMattia

Early Childhood Education is the foundation for success. You want to give them a safe, loving environment. With structure and discipline. Not just day care, but a real school with certified teachers. A school that supports working Moms (and Dads), with before and after care—and gives students as young as three years old the fundamental skills they need to develop a lifetime love of learning. Of course, choosing a Catholic education gives them much more than an educational advantage. It also helps them understand their purpose in life and their obligations to others, reinforcing the values you live at home. Isn’t that what you want for your children? To learn more about why Catholic Elementary School is a better place to start, and to find a school near you, call 516-678-5800 x 258 or visit us online at www.LICatholicElementarySchools.org

Fall is here, and so is the beginning of the Sponsor Program at St. Joseph’s Church. As in prior years, our goal is to provide Thanksgiving dinners to families from two neighboring parishes – The Queen of the Most Holy Rosary in Roosevelt and Our Lady of Loretto in Hempstead. The demand for monthly assistance at local food pantries continues to increase every year. Sponsorship includes the purchase of a Stop & Shop gift card and groceries for a festive meal. The shopping list has been modified to streamline the distribution of food for the receiving parishes and to simplify the shopping for the family size that you choose to sponsor. All of these details will be provided in the letter of instruction that you will receive after you sign up. All residents, community organizations and corporate entities to participate in this wonderful charitable event. Information and sign up forms are available at the church entrances and

in the church bulletin OR you can sign up by email at eileenbhoey@gmail.com. Provide your name, address, phone, and family size (4, 6, or 8) that you would like to sponsor. If you have questions or want to sign up over the phone, please call Pat DiMattia at 294-9316. The deadline is Thursday, November 2nd and the delivery date for all dinners is Saturday morning, November 11th at the St. Joseph’s School parking lot between 9:30 and 11:30 a.m. Early dropoff options are available so please let us know, if needed, when you sign up. Volunteer drivers are also needed on the delivery day. Drivers are responsible for transporting carloads of dinners during the course of the morning to one of the aforementioned parishes. If you have a truck or SUV or any vehicle with 4 wheels and would like to help us, please call Evelyn Fasano at 747-3235. Drivers are critical to the ultimate success of this program. If you can help us as a driver, please let us know!!

THE VIEW FROM HERE

The stock market rises BY BOB MORGAN, JR. These are certainly heady days for the stock market. As this is written on Monday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is at 22,957. This is up sharply from November 8, 2016, Election Day, when the index closed at 18,332. A story in MarketWatch just before the election results came in said that the market had “priced in” the expected victory of Hillary Clinton, believing that a win by Ms. Clinton was “the better outcome because it represents continuity and the likelihood of more stability for markets in the short term”. After international markets fleetingly plunged on the news of Mr. Trump’s likely victory, New York Times columnist and economist Paul Krugman declared that if “the question is when markets will recover, a first-pass answer is never.” He went on to predict a “global recession with no end in sight”. At least so far, both the conventional market wisdom of November 8 and Mr. Krugman’s gloomy predictions have been far wide of the mark. Markets have risen steadily month after month, with relatively low volatility. As a result, there have been few major correction days, in which prices drop sharply. The rise in the Dow has been paralleled by rises in the broader based Standard and Poor’s 500 and the tech-heavy NASDAQ indexes. There are a number of beneficial ramifications associated with the rise in the market. Perhaps the largest effect involves retirement plans. Unlike the situation 30 or 40 years ago, when many people were covered by defined benefit retirement plans established by employers which pay monthly amounts for the lifetime of the retiree and spouse, most people today outside of the public sector depend on balances in their 401(k) plan, which puts the investment responsibility on the individual participant rather than the employer, and creates the risk that a participant will outlive assets held in the plan. Higher balances based on good stock market investment results

have the obvious effect of increasing retirement security for millions of 401(k) participants. This is particularly welcome news at a time when there are issues relating to the sustainability of Social Security over time. Can the rise in the market continue? Obviously, that is the big question and nobody should be reading this column for its great financial wisdom or predictive powers. In addition, a few caveats are certainly in order. Markets go down as well as up. Many of us of a certain age remember the Black Monday crash 30 years ago this week on October 19, 1987, when the markets lost 23 percent on a single day. Even younger folks have memories of the very tumultuous days of September and October, 2008 when financial institutions collapsed, liquidity froze and markets plunged. That said, it seems to me that the answer may in significant part be related to the ability of the economy to get out of its recent 2 percent a year growth rut. Consumer confidence has been high in 2017, and the ability to turn the corner may be further aided if Mr. Trump’s tax cut proposals, which include considerable incentives to new investment, are enacted. Another favorable factor is generally cheaper energy costs and the related oil shale boom. If we were to get to a sustained period of higher growth, as we did in the 1990’s, it seems to me that the markets will likely remain robust. The rise in the markets, while covered, has not particularly been featured in the media and there have been few feelgood stories related to successful investment results. Some of this is no doubt due to a refusal in some quarters to validate President Trump in any way. And it is also true that other parts of the economic picture, particularly wage growth, are not nearly as robust as the growth in stock prices. Nevertheless, the rise in the markets to date is a welcome development, and it is entirely possible that still higher levels are ahead.

From page 1 create affordable housing and directly addresses the impediment of lack of land for affirmatively furthering fair housing,” La Pinta wrote in February 2016. In a press release this week, the Village of Garden City stated the work session schedule of its Zoning Change Review Committee as November 1 at 7 p.m. in Village Hall, 351 Stewart Avenue. La Pinta noted in a telephone interview that the ZCRC has evolved considerably since its formation in late 2015 and addressing a zoning change for the new Residence Inn by Marriott project for Ring Road. He says the form and function of the meeting on November 1 is an exploration of two options; changing the zoning or issuing the developer a special use permit. He cautions that no zoning change is ready now for adoption either starting with the Committee or with the Board of Trustees.

As reported in The Garden City News on April 7, days after the 2017 Village Board reorganization meeting, there was a difference in the ZCRC since its original formation two years ago: “The Village of Garden City has adopted 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 of Building Ausberto Huertas on the Committee.” This week’s village press release contains the following information and it references the subject of the work session as a “zoning change or zoning amendment.” “An application by 550 Stewart Acquisitions, LLC, has been referred to the Garden City Zoning Change Review Committee (“ZCRC”) seeking to rezone

the real property located 555 Stewart Avenue. The applicant requests amendment of the current zoning, or the establishment of a new zoning classification, to permit development of the property for one hundred and fifty (150) residential units. Pursuant to its applicable procedures, the ZCRC is required to hold a public work session on the application prior to issuing a report and recommendation to the Board of Trustees.” “The name of the committee is the Zoning Review Board and they meet not to necessarily discuss a change in zoning. It is going to be a discussion on how that development goes up – the developer’s attempt to develop the piece of property – and what options the village has and which zoning avenue they take to do it. There could be a zoning change or special use permit issued, as they have an option of doing one of two things. There may be a zoning change related to the application in the future but as of right now the decision has not been

made,” La Pinta said on October 18. La Pinta meets regularly with the Board of Trustees and he’s had continued contact with the village’s attorney James Ryan, Cullen and Dykman’s head of the commercial litigation department. He says he is very impressed with the Village of Garden City “going above and beyond the judgement’s requirements” compared with some other cases he has researched which imposed fair housing conditions on municipalities and other entities. “I will be there November 1 to see what is being discussed there and make sure everything is being done in ‘good faith’ in line with the judgement. As of right now my position is that the village is in perfect compliance with the judgement and the mandates of the judgement. In fact they’ve exceeded their judgement requirements regarding the enactment of fair housing law in Garden City and the 555 Stewart Avenue project,” he said.

Clock stopped: Garden City High School start time stays early

From page 1 School sports in afternoons. At the October 11 meeting Board President Angela Heineman suggested to her three colleagues on the school board, Vice President Tom Pinou, Robert Martin, and William Holub, that they could place the high school start time change as a resolution on their formal agenda and put it to a vote. But starting in September’s board meetings and again on October 11, concerns for the Middle School operations and students raised by interim Superintendent of Schools Dr. Alan Groveman swayed the board not to consider a vote or a change for September of 2018. Heineman commented that she was pretty disappointed the district could not have the high school time moved back for the kids at GCHS who will graduate in the next year or by 2019, and for the continuous hard work by Garden City Schools’ Starting Time Committee. Audrey Bellovin, who sat in the first row for the October 11 work session, and Garsden City High School Principal Nanine McLaughlin, who Heineman said put in “yeoman’s work.” She added that the board should avoid tunnel vision and think about the Middle School students who are entering adolescence and “tween” years, and how their development and academic performance could be negatively impacted by an earlier start time flipped with the high school. Heineman noted that some GCMS students reach their teen years and the biology impacting their sleep and start-of-the-day cycles sets up a contrast with the already-challenging eighth to ninth grade transition. “We want to do the right thing for our kids, as we do need to start paying a little more attention to health and

wellness. We owe it to our students and community. Teens have a different biorhythym than the rest of the world. Factors going into improving test scores. This continued study will be an important next step for us; the research is clear with later starting time for adolescents – after having read a lot of that research, the research is not confined to high school students. There are adolescents in Middle School and all the research, particularly from the American Association of Pediatrics, talked about benefits of later start times for both middle and high school students. We have a terrific Middle School program with morning and afternoon programs, and I am reluctant to upset that,” Heineman said. She and the district administration commented on a benefit to further consideration of a proposal that would have both the high school and middle school start the school day at 8:30 a.m. Dr. Groveman stated that administrators also came to a consensus on alertness and morning time issues for GCHS students. He told the audience and the school board if a child entering adolescence does not get a good education in Middle School, they are “behind the eight ball” entering the four years of high school ahead. “We agree across the board, although not universally, that high school students would do better and there is a better program for them if they start at a later time. The problem is we don’t want to do any injury to our Middle School program or Middle School students by making a change to our high school that can have a negative impact on GCMS. Middle School would need to run marginal study halls, with two to three or as many as eight chaperones, or optional

large group study halls. There was fairly universal concern on having an open campus for Middle School students. We will not recommend the change as proposed as a viable option with cost and time involved at the Middle School,” Groveman said.

Surge in Schools’ Enrollment Relates

Garden City Public Schools faced a surprise as the new school year began, with 36 new students in the last week of August and the first week of September. The kindergarten enrollments last school year, as well as a commissioned demographics study presented to the board last year did not indicate any such increases. Ultimately, Heineman’s baseline for an effective change to the high school starting time relates to the increased weight on the annual schools’ budget and operations. The added issue with enrollment brought that to the forefront of last week’s board and administration discussion: “We are all very aware of our tax cap issues, and initially the parameters were we did not want it (changing the HS start time) to cost anything. If there was a price tag associated with it we needed to find options that were the least costly. At the end of the school year last June we asked the administration to look at some of the collateral issues with moving the HS start time to 8:30. The bugaboos are with the changes we’d have to effectuate in our other school buildings and programs,” she said on October 11. Dr. Groveman began his comments last week, before the board’s decision, with a similar angle. He says the cost factors centered on adjustments to the transportation (bussing) department and with some staff requirements

involved (chaperones), the cost of changing the HS start time and moving Middle School earlier would have a floor of $85,000 but potentially a ceiling of half-a-million dollars. “Given the constraints of the cap and Garden City Schools’ state aid as we don’t get much, that does not help. The tax cap required administration and the High School Starting Time Committee, which comprised of staff members, parents and administrators, to look at ways to change starting time to later with little or no cost to the district. The Committee’s work was constrained in looking at logistics because the goal was to do this at little or no cost. Putting the high school at the later start time would put Garden City Middle School earlier. If we do not give Middle School students the flexibility to come and go as they please before GCMS sports, the costs and constraints will go up. There are solutions but each solution one has one or more problems associated with it. But with all that we are still recommending that considerations go forward for a later start time at the high school,” he said at the October 11 work session. Groveman presented the school board with a choice to put off a decision on starting time for at least 12 months, and remember that a priority as Garden City Schools looks to formulate its 20172018 budget became the “explosive, expansive enrollment growth at our elementary level with related staffing requirements.”

Garden City Turkey Trot marks 40th Anniversary

From page 3 non-perishable food items for the Turkey Trot Food Drive. “We are fortunate to have so many runners from all over Long Island and beyond who love the Garden City Turkey Trot. Thousands of runners, volunteers and spectators – everyone is happy and in a great mood and helping our charities,” race director Ken Aneser said. “We have elite athletes, runners of all ages, walkers, jogging strollers, and even people running as turkeys and pilgrims.

The Ethical Humanist Society of LI and the LI Media Task Force present Shadows of Liberty on Wednesday, November 8 at 7 pm. Shadows of Liberty examines how the US media are controlled by a handful of corporations exercising extraordinary political, social and economic power. In highly revealing stories, renowned journalists, activists and academics give insider accounts of a broken media system. Controversial news reports are suppressed, people are censored for

people move here for the school district and they are confident their children will get a good education here. Beyond that many people had moved out and come back to the district to start their families here. A lot of respondents and participants said their father/mother or grandparents had graduated from Garden City High School and now their own children are in the district. That says a lot about how people feel about their community and in this case, specifically about their schools – they find the district to be a very positive and professional learning environment,” he said. Challenges ahead were highlighted with community input through the survey responses, focus groups and meetings with Garden City teachers and faculty. They include keeping track of the increase in student enrollment experienced this fall, as the district’s demographics study presented in 20162017 did not forecast increases. Roelle pinpointed a need to invest in Garden City Schools infrastructure. “We are concerned about the buildings. Would aging district facilities get in the way of other future capital projects?” he said at the October 11 meeting. Leadership among school building staff and their relationship was also a top priority noted by the consultants, and that can begin with being on common ground with the staff overall. Working collaboratively with bargaining units in Garden City Schools is a trait deemed necessary for the next superintendent of schools, as Roelle said the research shows open contracts with the district that need to be addressed. Roelle commented on a superintendent’s role to maintain the district’s

academic and program excellence in the 2% tax cap environment. He said with that in mind, the budget process and the initiatives the next superintendent provides Garden City with should include a review of schools’ technology and instructional implementation of whiteboards, tablets, and instructional technology components. He added that in its research, HYA learned that parents and educators value a way forward that would expand the district’s S.T.E.M. units and programs to encourage more female students into this direction. According to Roelle, a key question people in the community and school system want addressed by the next superintendent is “How do we get down the road with our instructional goals?” He listed three qualities of the next school district leader in his October 11 presentation to the school board – being an instructional leader with “a vision for excellence and working as a collegial problem solver” as well as having experience as a district leader, preferably in the role of a superintendent, as well as a leader with strong interpersonal skills that “promotes a climate of trust and respect.” Roelle said in focus groups held September 28 and 29, residents said the next superintendent should be a visible, approachable individual and a good listener and observer. He said the community hopes the next superintendent will be “a people person.” “We can look at the experiences the candidates bring forward and try to match them with the challenges we expect those candidates would have to face as superintendent of the district. The preferred characteristics brought us a lot of responses. Board President Heineman says the

speaking out, and lives are shattered as the arena for public expression is turned into a private profit zone. Tracing the story of media manipulation through the years, Shadows Of Liberty poses a crucial question: why have we let a handful of powerful private corporations write the news? The Ethical Humanist Society is located at 38 Old Country Road in Garden City (next to the large water tower between Herricks Road and Mineola Boulevard); 516-741-7304. Admission is free. However, a $5 donation is suggested.

Superintendent search consultant reports on progress From page 3 the vetting process of candidates, they will refer to the Profile as well as each candidate’s reactions to the Profile, plus key Garden City district issues that will need to be addressed. HYA consultants will conduct a workshop for the board of education before the slate of a half-dozen candidates are interviewed. “It is an extensive workshop for the board so that they are consistent at looking at the Leadership Profile and measuring candidates against the profile, and then evaluating candidates in the end to determine what the next round of candidates will look like,” Roelle said. From six the field can be narrowed down to three later in this school year. As he introduced the Garden City Leadership Profile he referenced the school district’s online survey which went live September 15 and closed October 2, and its 599 responses from the district community. The results reflected opinions from 366 community members (parents of kids in the district as well as residents without kids in the district) plus 13 GCUFSD students, 145 faculty members, 15 district administrators, and 60 members of schools support staff. “That represents a very nice number for a total when comparing this school district to districts that are similar. This is not a scientific study but the size of the respondents groups is big enough it warrants paying attention to,” Roelle said. He explained that 91% of online survey respondents rated the Garden City Public Schools district in one of the two highest categories. “People described Garden City Schools as a ‘destination district.’ Many

Conversational, opinionated, wordsmith?

HYA report and Leadership Profile contains a tremendous amount of information. “Some of it is raw but it is important for the board to hear and understand feedback. This is an important learning process for all of us. I thank all participants for their honesty – we asked for honesty and we’ve got it. Candidates who are interested or selected for interviews may see the community’s comments although not associated with any names and identifications. Your discussion with consultants were confidential,” she said. School board trustee Robert Martin commented on October 11 that as he watched Roelle’s presentation and read the documents from HYA, he’s glad to see that the results of “information-gathering” were consistent with what he and his fellow board members considered about the community’s thoughts on the district. “It is very important to have that input from the community. I am not surprised by the observations, and it is consistent with what the board thought would be strengths and desirable characteristics for the next superintendent. It is comforting to know the board does seem to know what is going on within the community and in the district,” Martin said. For her efforts in helping HYA’s duo in their initial research, as well as for hospitality during September’s group meetings, last week Roelle publicly thanked Garden City’s administrative assistant to the board of education Cindy Morris, saying with his decades of experience as superintendent of schools in Ossining, Irvington and KatonahLewisboro (upstate) districts he knows the importance of a dedicated secretary.

A page from the Heritage edition Bible Beginning in November, the Cathedral of the Incarnation in Garden City will be home to a rare Heritage Edition of The Saint John’s Bible, an illuminated handwritten version of the sacred text. The stunning gothic style cathedral will not only display a fine art replica of the Gospels and Acts, it will also use it in worship services and adult and youth education programs. The exhibition will run through May. The breadth and scope of The Saint John’s Bible has been compared to that of The Sistine Chapel. It is the first illuminated, handwritten Bible since the medieval period, and an international team of calligraphers and artists spent fifteen years creating it. Though the team used medieval techniques, the illustrations incorporate modern elements such as DNA strands, images from the Hubble telescope, and satellite photos of the Ganges River. The Cathedral will display the Heritage Edition of the Gospels & Acts volume. Only 299 Heritage Editions were made. They are full scale, illuminated replicas of the original, and no two copies are exactly alike. The cathedral’s floriated gothic architecture makes it a unique location for the exhibition. Programs will include a talk from Saint John’s Bible Program Director Tim Ternes, a scholar and expert on the Bible from Saint John’s University in

Minnesota, on Wednesday, November 29th at 7pm. A three-week series focusing on the images of Advent in the Bible will be presented on Wednesday evenings from December 6th through 20th, led by the Very Rev. Michael Sniffen, Dean of the Cathedral. The dean will also lead a five-week class during the season of Lent in which participants will have a chance to examine the illuminations of the Crucifixion and Resurrection in The Saint John’s Bible. In April, a special Earth Day evensong will be presented by the Cathedral Choirs, using images of Creation from the bible. On May 7th, a presentation by Dr. Anton Koekemoer, an astrophysicist at the Hubble Space Telescope, will focus on reconciling science and faith. All of these programs will be offered free of charge to the public. The exhibit is expected to draw visitors from across Long Island. The Cathedral is the seat of the Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Long Island, which stretches from Brooklyn Bridge to Montauk Point, and was built in 1885. Located in Garden City, the Cathedral is across the street from an LIRR stop on the Hempstead line, and ample parking is also available. For more information, visit www.incarnationgc. org/saintjohnsbible or contact the cathedral office at 516-746-2955, or cathedral@incarnationgc.org.

THIS WEEK AT ROTARY

Shannon Boyle, Executive Director, New Ground

How New Ground Organization Breaks Cycle of Homelessness

Next Monday, October 23, members of the Mineola-Garden City Rotary Club, will welcome Shannon Boyle, Executive Director of the New Ground Organization as guest speaker. Rotarians will learn from Shannon how for the past 26 years, New Ground has been “Breaking the Cycle of Homelessness.” Sharron notes that in its fall newsletter, New Ground “maintains that the key to breaking the cycle of homelessness is not only to provide short-term assistance to homeless families and veterans, but also to work at eliminating its root causes so these individuals can become, and remain, self-supporting. As the Newsletter states, “New Ground identifies and then responds to those at risk with programs that provide educational, technical, and emotional support. This empowers these families and veterans to function independently. Working in collaboration with institu-

tions in the public and private sector, New Ground is able to involve existing agencies to better respond to the growing needs and challenges of Long Island’s homeless population.” Shannon Boyle became the Executive Director of New Ground in 2006. She had graduated from Boston College with her Master in Social Work degree. After relocating to Long Island, she first came to New Ground as a Social Worker, providing services to the homeless families and Veterans in the Long Term Housing Program. For over ten years with New Ground, Shannon has greatly enjoyed overseeing the staff and daily operations of New Ground while remaining directly connected to the families and Veterans in the program as they work so hard to achieve their goals and realize higher education dreams and future stable, permanent housing. Rotary welcomes members of the community to join us as we learn more about the New Ground Organization next Monday. The Club meets every other Monday throughout the year, 12:15-1:30, at the Garden City Hotel. To reserve for this program or for information about how to become a Rotarian, please call Alba Spinelli, president at 516-307-8870.

Alice C. Burke

Alice C. Burke went home to God on October 13, 2017 after a valiant battle against cancer. A resident of Garden City since 1992, she attended St. John’s University, where she earned a B.A. in Psychology and an M.A. in Clinical Psychology. In 1975 she began what would become a lifelong career in higher education as an Adjunct Instructor of Behavioral Science at the New York Institute of Technology in Old Westbury. One year later she became a member of the full-time faculty at that institution. She later moved from teaching into the area of counseling, initially as a member of the student services staff and later as Senior Executive Director of Counseling and Wellness of both NYIT and its affiliated med-

as Election Inspectors. While these Inspectors work for their respective parties, they receive $180 per election, as well as paid training. Poll Coordinator positions may also be available. Any Garden City resident, registered as a Democrat, is eligible for an Inspector position. Those interested in the work, or finding out more about the duties, can reach the Garden City Democratic Committee at 516-939-4740 or by email at inspectors@gardencitydemocrats.com

ical school, the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine. She was responsible for introducing and implementing many innovative programs to enhance student counseling, and was a featured speaker at professional conferences and meetings as well as newspaper and television interviews. She held both positions for the remainder of her life. Alice is survived by her devoted husband of 41 years, Thomas, and her beloved sons George and Jonathan. She was also the proud grandmother of Ava, Violet and Harper Burke. Dedicated throughout her life to making a difference for those in need, the family invites anyone who wishes to remember her to make a donation to St. John’s Bread and Life, a food kitchen and social services facility in Brooklyn serving the homeless and downtrodden.

IN MEMORIAM

Christine D. Marcin Christine D. Marcin, mother of John (“Chip”), Tricia and Vickie, and grandmother of Allie, Nicholas, Sam and Matt, died peacefully in her home from endometrial cancer on October 15, 2017. A resident of Garden City for almost sixty years, and a summer resident of Cutchogue, New York, for almost forty-five years, Christine grew up in Douglaston, New York. Daughter of Boris and Alexandra Stackliff, she attended St. Anastasia Catholic School in Douglaston, and graduated from Bayside High School. She attended Queens College prior to her editorial position at Sperry’s in Lake Success. She married John P.A. Marcin, who predeceased her in 2007, in 1955, and moved to Garden City in 1960. Christine was a cub scout den lead-

er in the 1960s and an active member of Panhellenic, a charitable organization which supported the initial fundraising for the children’s hospital at Long Island Jewish Medical Center (now Cohen’s Children’s Hospital of the Northwell System). She was an active member with her husband of the Garden City Republican Club and an active member of the Garden City Chapter of the American Association of University Women.

SOCIALLY SPEAKING

No bridge too far With ATHENA

We are certainly having October’s Bright Blue weather as a poet wrote a number of years ago. It was one of those days this past week when the ladies of the Community Club of Garden City and Hempstead boarded a bus bound for the Brooklyn Museum and I must say - they all had a wonderful time. Who would not, because of the lovely weather, the lovely exhibits and a very nice luncheon overlooking a pool divided by fountains and lovely plants. May the sun always shine on your tours. It’s no wonder that Bridge is so popular here in Garden City. You can sometimes go from one bridge to the next in one day after another. I guess that practice makes for perfection. The Garden City Community Church held their Chrysanthemum Bridge on Monday, October 16th, the Garden City Casino’s Bridge was held on the 17th and the Garden City County Club’s Bridge was on the 19th. Is that what they mean by “practice makes perfect?” We should not ignore the gentlemen as they play Bridge just about every day. They take the statement “Practice, practice, practice” seriously. We should all congratulate our Garden City Marching Band on a first place win. I have heard them many times at parades and they certainly deserve that first place. Have you all gotten your flu shots? If not, why not? They have been giving them last week at the Garden City Library and you can find them in other places as we enter that problem area. Don’t forget - get them as soon as you hear about another place here in town giving them. Here is your chance to see more than you ever thought you would see at Coe Hall - Planting Fields. This is a special tour of the 65 room Gatsby Era mansion - the former home of William R. Coe. You will experience the splendor of this magnificent 409 acre estate. It is a glimpse into what life was like for wealthy Long Islanders who lived on the North

Shore in the early part of the twentieth century. Join them on Friday, November 3rd at 1 p.m. to compare the elements of this iconic book The Great Gatsby, to the lifestyle of the Coe family. The Coe family had five homes. Planting Fields is one and the others were: a ranch outside of Cody Wyoming, a plantation in the Carolinas, a house on the shore in Palm Beach, Florida, a cottage in Connecticut and (briefly) an apartment on Fifth Avenue in New York City. Registration is limited and per-registration is required. The fee is $7 per person or $10 for two. Checks made payable to Planting Fields Foundation by October 27th and sent to Elsa Eisenberg, Group Tour and Volunteer Coordinator, P.O. Box 660, Oyster Bay NY 11771. For more information please call (516) 922-8670. You will have a wonderful time. Did you know that the Harvest Moon is the full moon that occurs closest to the autumnal equinox? It can occur in either September or October. At this time, crops such as corn, pumpkin, squash and wild rice are ready for gathering. So, if you grow any of these crops - bring them in! The Community Club of Garden City and Hempstead will be hosting a program on Tuesday, October 24th at the Garden City Casino at 1:30 on Carol Burnett. The speaker will be Dr. Ira Epstein. His talk will continue his popular “Pioneers of Television” series. He is well known speaker and you will enjoy his presentation very much. It will also bring back many fond memories of what TV was really like in its beginning days. There is a guest fee for non-members of $5. That includes the program and refreshments following. You will be happy that you did! See you next week.

This photo from 1965 is looking across Franklin Avenue to Seventh Street. On the corner is the “Garden City Music Center” and to the right of that is the original “Leo’s Midway Bar” before it expanded to the corner. Next to Leo’s is “Bob’s Liquors” and the “Garden City Bookshop” which years later the two store’s spaces would be combined for “Things and Stuff.” Across the street to the right beyond the photo would be the “Garden City Garage” which would be torn down in a year or so and replaced with a modern Texaco station.

Presentation on leaf blower usage in Garden City There has been some concern raised that commercial use of gasoline powered leaf blowers causes harm to human health and causes pollution. Many communities have restricted their use. On October 25th at 7:30 p.m., there will be a presentation at the

Senior Center about this issue with 2 guest speakers: Dr. Lucy Weinstein, a Pediatrician and co-chair of the LI Environmental Health Comm. and Dr. Bonnie Sager, Consulting Physician to the NYS Hospital System. All are welcome to attend.

Free college admissions workshop Seldom are the words “ethics” and “humanity” heard in the same breath as “college admissions,” but on Thursday, October 26th at 7:30 PM, the Ethical Humanist Society of Long Island will play host to a college planning workshop, where high school students and their parents will get the inside scoop of how to choose the “best” colleges, the ins and outs of the application and admissions process, writing persuasive essays, and navigating the maze of financial aid and scholarships. Seth Bykofsky of College Connection,

a.k.a. The College Whisperer™, will offer insight and advice to the college-bound, while calming the frayed nerves of moms and dads, bringing his passion, aptitude, common sense and funny bone to the masses yearning to apply and be admitted to their colleges of choice.

“An American Songbook” at Historical Society

The Garden City Historical Society continues its Music Series with its tenth performance, “An American Songbook for a Sunday Afternoon,” on Sunday, November 5. Returning singers soprano Jessica Stolte Bender and tenor Christopher Reames will be joined by Emily Lia on the Society’s Baby Grand piano. In addition to wonderful American standards, the Historical Society’s guests will hear featured music from George and Ira Gershwin. The performance begins at 3 p.m. sharp with open seating starting at 2:30. Ticket donation is $35pp; light refreshments follow the performance. The Historical Society is pleased to announce that the performance will be sponsored by Glenn Martucci of TD Bank and Denise Donlon of Coach Realtors; appetizers will be provided by Prince Umberto of Franklin Square. Hailed as an “inspired” and “versatile” singer, soprano Jessica Stolte Bender has been performing throughout the Long Island/New York metro area for the past 17 years. She is a recurring artist of the Opera Night series on Long Island and has now made several appearances with Music on the Sound in Port Jefferson. Jessica made her Carnegie Hall debut with New York Lyric Opera Theatre in their production of Love, Passion and Betrayal, a 2012 concert version of various scenes from opera’s favorite tragedies. Musical theatre credits include roles in Into the Woods, The Sound of Music, Pippin, A Chorus Line, Fiddler on the Roof, The Pajama Game, and The Boyfriend, in addition to cabaret and review style shows. Jessica earned a Bachelor’s degree from The Crane School of Music at SUNY Potsdam, and completed a Master of Arts in Voice Performance at The Aaron Copland School of Music, CUNY Queens, where she performed such Mozart roles as Zweite Dame in Die Zauberflöte, and Marcellina in Le nozze di Figaro, in addition to Second

Woman in Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas. She has performed in scenes from many of opera’s well known works including Mozart’s Cosi fan tutte, and Postcards from Morroco by Dominick Argento. Furthering her education in classical singing, she attended the Westchester Summer Vocal Institute. Jessica looks forward to continuing to build her studio and hopes to one day teach voice in a university. Tenor Christopher Reames is establishing an exciting and engaging career as a concert artist, recitalist, and dynamic performer on the operatic stage. His compelling performances captivate audiences with beauty and sensitivity. Christopher has appeared as a finalist in national competitions with organizations such as Joy in Singing, New York Oratorio Society, Franco- American Vocal Academy, and the National Association of Teachers of Singing. Operatic performances include roles in Oberon, Lucia di Lammermoor, The Turn of the Screw, The Merry Wives of Windsor, and Die Zauberflöte. An avid performer of sacred music, recent concert performances have included The Creation, Elijah, The Messiah, La Fiesta de la Posada, J.S. Bach’s Magnificat and Christmas Oratorio, and several sacred Cantatas and secular works by Purcell and Monteverdi. Christopher’s diverse song repertoire spans more than 400 years from Monteverdi, Handel, Haydn and Mozart, through Beethoven and Schumann to Debussy, Poulenc, Britten, Barber and Messiaen. He possesses a particular affinity for British art song repertoire. Christopher is an alumnus of SongFest, the Aspen Music Festival, the Hawaii Performing Arts Festival, and the Cincinnati CollegeConservatory’s Opera Theatre and Music Festival of Lucca, Italy. He holds a Doctor of Musical Arts degree from the SUNY at Stony Brook, a Master of Music degree from the University of Nevada at Las Vegas, and a Bachelor

As a coach and répétiteur, she has worked with the Opera Workshop at University of Michigan, Metro Opera Workshop of Detroit, and Arbor Opera Theater. She also taught French repertoire at Up North Vocal Institute. Her operatic repertoire includes Rigoletto, Cosi Fan Tutte, Rape of Lucretia, Il Trittico, Armide, and La Rondine.

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.

Jean McCormick a great success at Community Club

Ted Kochiolek, pianist; Jean McCormick, singer; and Lee Amrhein, Club president

On Wednesday, October 4 at the Community Club, the opening season presentation for the General Program Department was held. The afternoon began with an invocation delivered by Dean Michael Sniffen from the Cathedral of the Incarnation. The Club appreciated the Dean taking time out of his busy schedule to join it. A bouquet of flowers was then presented to each of new member in attendance. The program began with Jean McCormick introducing her pianist, Ted Kochiolek and started singing many great unsung songs. That happens, as Jean explained, when putting together a Broadway show, or filming a movie musical, so many factors contribute to what music does or does not make an impact. Composers often have wonderful songs that end up “in the trunk” for one reason or another. Some are from shows that had short runs. Some find lives beyond their initial projects. Others are just cut and long forgotten. The songs Jean selected

brought these songs back out of the trunk, if only for one day. Jean shared the history about each song and who wrote it such as Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, Frank Loesser, along with a variety of Disney composers. Ted Kochiolek was tremendous on the piano. The Community Club was so fortunate to have Ted accompany Jean. Ted is a composer, librettist, music director, vocal coach, and educator. He has served on the faculties of NYU and Long Island University as a vocal coach . Jean and Ted make a great duo. Everyone enjoyed the originality of the songs selected by Jean. Jean’s vocal abilities along with her lively personality always makes for a great program. It was a wonderful afternoon “to hear those hidden gems and let them have their place in American music,” to quote Jean. If anyone is interested in joining the club, please contact the club office any Tues., Wed. or Thurs. between 9:30AM TO 12:30PM AT 7460488.

past two years at the CFC Classic. The Tigers competed against teams from Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New Jersey in the U12 Championship Orange Division. Despite some tough opponents, the Tigers were undefeated in their bracket and earned a spot in the Championship game. The Tigers jumped out to an early 2-0 lead against the NJ Crush FC Blaze in the Championship game. The Crush battled back and the teams entered halftime tied at 2. Despite losing the lead, the Tigers were undeterred and came out fighting in the second half. They were able to score two more goals on their way to a 4-2 win! Congrats to all of the girls for their hard work and commitment to the team.

After a slow start the Girls Varsity soccer team extended their streak to 6 undefeated games with a 3-1 win over Kellenberg last Friday and a 3-3 tie against first place North Shore on Monday and the timing couldn’t be better with playoffs starting next week. In the win over Kellenberg, it was a total team effort with every able bodied player contributing. Kara Metzler was the first to get the scoring party started with a goal from the left side of the net on a scramble in front of the goal. It wasn’t long before Jackie Morris scored her first of her two goals off an assist from Mary Haggerty. The two combined for another goal a few minutes later when Mary passed the ball to Jackie on the outside. Jackie shot a long ball which sailed in the air, curving to the right and into the upper back corner for the goal! The midfield and defenders did the heavy lifting keeping a tireless Kellenberg attack at bay for most of the game. Goalies Abby Cox, Cate Schick and Lindsay Gambino combined for 10 saves in the victory! On Monday the girls faced off against then first place North Shore Vikings who had beaten GC earlier in the season. North Shore has one of the best goal scorers in Nassau County and a potent midfield. But for GC who held North Shore tight in the first game, it was a chance to redeem themselves and the Trojans came out battling. North

Junior Tara Fenty (26) in win over Kellenberg Shore, a very skilled and physical team, pressed early on GC’s defense. Julia Choi, Kelly Brennan, Siobhan Coen and Erin Healy along with midfielders Melissa Whitney and Erin “Studs” Studdert in the middle and Julia Kavan and Kara Metzler on the outsides thwarted North Shore’s advances and moved the ball out of their defensive zone. There waiting for the outlet passes were Jackie Morris and Mary Haggerty. At the eight minute mark of the first half the ref called a hand ball in the box against North Shore setting up a GC Penalty Kick. Jackie Morris got the nod from Coach Heedles and took the ball to the line. She set it up, took a few steps back and

on the whistle calmly put it away for GC’s first goal to go up, 1-0. GC’s lead was short lived when two minutes later North Shore evened the score at 1-1. For another eight minutes the teams would fight it out in the middle of the field; each team advancing; repelling; and counter attacking with some amazing saves being made by both goalies! On one such counter attack, Junior defender Erin Healy slotted a beautiful through ball to Jackie Morris who received the pass, took a few dribbles and shot it past the out stretched North Shore goalie for her second goal and

another GC lead, 2-1. Despite their lead, GC knew what North Shore was capable of bouncing back and they went back out after half time determined to keep their heads high, keep the lead and win the game. The Trojans continued to press the North Shore goalie with Annie Sullivan, Mary Haggerty, Jackie Morris, Gracie McManus and Jessica Yoo all getting some very good chances at netting a goal. On one such counter attack the ball was moved in the North shore zone and passed around the outside of the 18 yard box finally finding its way to Senior Melissa Whitney. Melissa one touched a long ball right over the head of a leaping North Shore goalie and into the back of the net for GC’s 3rd goal!!!! The team went crazy! A two goal lead! But there was still six minutes left on the clock and a North Shore team that would just not quit. In a relentless attack North Shore was able to find the back of the net two more times before the final buzzer to tie the score at 3-3. The team heads into playoffs next week well positioned having beaten or tied each of the top ranked teams in AB-1 and capable of challenging each one at a time when anything can happen. GO GC!!!!

Thunder 9’s vs Bellmore

The Thunder 9’s excitement cannot be contained after a wild 4th quarter victory. Homecoming weekend was winding down on the High School turf at Warren King Field, and the Thunder 9s were looking to continue Garden City’s winning ways from the day before. Co-captains Patrick Corrigan, Mark Gemmell, and Merit Ruckh confronted their counterparts, the Bellmore Braves, at midfield to represent their team. The Braves started with the ball and defensive lineman Timothy Levelis, Thor Ullrich, and Alex Lo Russo fired up the rest of the defense with an early stop for a loss. Alex Giuffre, Jimmy Barry, Greg Buccella, and Gabe Cohen kept the Braves to a small gain to bring up a third and long. After a huge stop by Chase Kraus, Chris Dell, and Merit Ruckh, the Braves punted and handed over the ball to the home team. Ryan Haniffy took the offense on the field and started with a steady drive

of runs behind lineman Mike Griffin, Patrick Corrigan and Conor Fortney. Will Mattice, Merit Ruckh, James Sullivan, and Ryan Haniffy contributed key runs gaining over 50 yards in the series with the help of key blocks from Thomas Gamba, Chris Dell, and Max Milano. Ultimately, they lost possession on the Brave’s 17-yard line. The defense made quick work with tackles by Thomas Gamba, Matt Uhoda, and Max Milano. On third down Angelo Cupani and Greg Buccella forced the Braves in reverse with a tackle for a 13-yard loss. Resounding pressure by Mark Gemmell and Garvis Toler ended their opponents’ drive at 4th and 22 and forced yet another punt. There were seconds left to beat the clock before halftime, and the offensive line was up to the task. With great blocking by Alex Lo Russo, Jimmy Barry, and Conor Fortney, Garvis

Conor Fortney (31) and Greg Buccella (6) put the pressure on the Bellmore Offense while Angelo Cupani (40) make a huge tackle for a loss.

Thunder captains Patrick Corrigan (36), Mark Gemmell (8), and Merit Ruckh (24) meet their opponents at midfield for the coin toss. Toler got the hand off. He had the end zone in sight with a 30-yard run, but he was denied on the 3-yard line as he was knocked out of bounds. Halftime score 0-0. After the half, Ryan Haniffy took charge with a Thunder hurry up offense to lead his team down the field. James Sullivan and Will Mattice were powering the ball up the middle successfully with staunch blocks by center, Mike Griffin and wing back, Matt Uhoda. However, the drive was cut short sending back out the fierce defense. Chase Kraus, Thor Ullrich, and Gabe Cohen never let the Braves past the line of scrimmage. Timothy Levelis and Angelo Cupani sacked the quarterback and ended the drive at 4th and 25. Thunder was reaching a level of frustration because the opportunities lost were now becoming an issue of

time left on the game clock. When it was 4th and 15, Garvis Toler took a reverse 10 yards and was stopped. However, he was clearly determined, and he fought for another 5 yards to get the much needed first down. From there, James Sullivan and Will Mattice took turns running the ball behind lead blocker Matt Uhoda and lineman Alex Giuffre and Chase Kraus. Finally, James Sullivan took a toss right and followed a monster flat-back block by Will Mattice and dove into the end-zone for the go ahead elusive touchdown. The theme song “Thunder” by Imagine Dragons rang through the stands and across the field as the boys celebrated their score. After a failed extra point, Thunder led the Braves 6-0. The Braves were determined to take advantage of their last possession with a possibility to tie and win the game

with the extra point. “Not a chance,” said Thomas Gamba and Gabe Cohen, who held the Braves to no yards up the middle on the first 2 downs while Timothy Levelis and Conor Fortney shut down the outside. With time ticking down, the Braves had no choice but to make a gutsy move and take to the air. The ball sailed clearly and aimed perfectly to its receiver, but was intercepted by a flying James Sullivan that

The team traveled to Long Beach on Wednesday, October 11th and then faced off against Manhasset on Friday, October 13th.

Garden City’s divers continued their strong season with Elsie Schaubeck finishing in second place and Kara Acinapuro finishing third. As a result of the solid performance by the team Garden City led

98-42 and clinched the win with 3 events to still be completed. On Friday, Garden City traveled to the north shore to take on a very strong Manhasset squad. Garden City’s depth proved to be the difference maker on this night. Even when Manhasset managed to win a particular race, Garden City often took 2nd, 3rd and 4th place positions and a result Garden City took

the lead early and never trailed in this battle of rivals. Garden City outscored Manhasset in 11 of the 12 events and won comfortably 99-82. Garden City took 1st place in multiple events including the 200 Medley Relay (Katie Lew, Lauren Kuzma, Gabriella Meringolo, Mia Bonvissuto), in which they were less than half a second away from qualifying for the New York State Championships. The Garden City 400 Freestyle Relay team consisting of Gabriella Meringolo, Elizabeth Fetherston, Melody Pomay and Mia Bonvissuto also won their race. 8th Grader Arabella Pompay secured 1st place in the 100 Backstroke in a race that came down to the wire. Senior Gabriella Meringolo (100 Butterfly) and 9th Grader Lauren Kuzma (100 Breastroke) also produced first place finishes. Garden City has opened the season at 5-0 and will face stiff competition against Bellmore-Merrick and Port Washington to finish off the dual meet portion of the season.

Fall Getaway in the Great Northern Catskills: Frederick Edwin Church’s Olana BY KAREN RUBIN

Just over the Rip Van Winkle Bridge from the Thomas Cole National Historic Site (#1 on the Hudson River School Art Trail), you see this grand mansion perched on the hillside, poking out from the trees. It is just a short ride off Rte 9G on eastern shore of the Hudson River to get to the long drive up to the mansion and farm, Olana, built by the Hudson River School artist Frederick Edwin Church. Spanning 250 acres, Olana is one of the most intact artist-created landscapes in America, and “the most intact artist residence of its age in the world,” our guide explains. In fact, it is the artist’s last major work. Church designed, even decorated, every aspect of the house and landscape – digging out a 10-acre lake, planting some 50,000 trees. And today, virtually all the furnishings (95% we are told) are original to the house, even in the same places as when the Church family occupied the house, up until the 1960s. Literally saved from a wrecking ball, the Olana State Historic Site is now one of New York’s premier historical attractions (HRSAT Site #2), drawing 20,000 visitors a year. You can only visit the house on a guided tour and they only take up to 12 per tour, so tours frequently sell out by 1 pm (advance reservations are recommended). As I approach Olana, a sign on the road introduces me to a new word, and a new concept – “viewshed.” The word intentionally evokes “watershed” – a protected resource area. Here, Olana, chosen and designed by the artist Church for the views, successfully established a “viewshed” maintaining that this is a national The protected “viewshed” from Frederick Church’s Olana © 2017 Karen Rubin/ goingplacesfarandnear. com

Fall Getaway in the Great Northern Catskills: Frederick Edwin Church’s Olana

Continued from page D1 cultural resource worthy of protection and preservation. The notion of preservation versus progress is the very essence of Church and his Olana, taking up the key theme from Thomas Cole, his teacher and mentor. Church’s background is very different from Cole’s. While Cole, renowned as the father of America’s first art movement, the Hudson River School, was an immigrant from England, Church was born in Hartford, Connecticut in 1826 to a well-to-do family (his father, Joseph Church, owned several businesses and was a director of Aetna Life Insurance Company). Whereas Cole had little art training, Church’s father arranged for the 18-year old to study with Cole for two years, 1844-46. Church then went to New York City to set up a studio. He became the youngest Associate of the American Academy of Design, in 1850, and within a few years, became one of the most successful artists of his generation – a veritable rock star. And whereas Cole, the immigrant, was enthralled by the wildness of the American landscape, Church fell under the spell of naturalist Alexander von Humboldt, who encouraged artists to travel the world. Church traveled to the Middle East, South America, Europe (one of his children was born in Rome), Labrador and Greenland. He brought these images and ideas back to the Hudson River Valley where he would build Olana, and his worldliness and world-view filled his canvases. Ultimately, Olana became his canvas. Over the last 40 years of his life, from 1860-1899, he designed and fashioned

Olana into a three-dimensional work of art that includes the magnificent Persian-inspired home with its various collections, set within a 250-acre landscape, meticulously designed for iconic views of the Hudson River Valley. What is most remarkable about Olana is that the home and grounds never left the family – the furnishings, the art, even the books, are all Church’s possessions, and we see them laid out in the deliberate living canvas that Church intended. After Church died, in 1899, his son, Louis, occupied the house, and when Louis’ widow died, in 1964, the house and estate were saved from being sold off by virtue of a public-private collaboration between New York State Parks and a private nonprofit, Olana Partnership (similar to the collaboration between the Central Park Conservancy and New York City’s parks department). Olana opened to the public as a museum in 1966. This is most fitting, since Church served as commissioner of Central Park (he was a distant cousin of landscape designer Frederick Law Olmstead). He also was a founding trustee of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. (Church was responsible for locating Cleopatra’s needle, the obelisk, behind the museum.) And Church, who achieved national and international prominence with his seven-foot wide painting, “Niagara” (1857), was credited with creating the Niagara Reserve – New York’s first state park and one of the first in the nation, a precursor to the national parks movement. The Olana grounds include five miles of carriage trails, managed by New York State Parks, and are open to

the public at no charge. The Olana Partnership has worked to restore Olana as well as the landscape. The physical landscape, in Church’s planning and today, is as much art as the landscape painting on canvas. As you walk the trails, the images are framed – markers here as along the other sites of the Hudson River School Art Trail, compare the scene today to paintings. And since my last visit, the view from the mansion to the Hudson River and Catskills beyond has been opened up. Indeed, as I arrive at Olana, a group of artists on a week-long workshop are painting the scene. Church’s Worldly View While Thomas Cole was an immigrant from England who glorified America’s landscapes in a way that had not been done before, Frederic Edwin Church was one its most traveled among the Hudson River School artists, and he brought these images and this worldliness into his canvases. Church finished his two-year study with Cole in1846 but Cole died soon after, in 1848. Church seems to have always maintained a connection with Cole – returning to the Hudson Valley to build his home close to Cole’s Cedar Grove, traveling with Cole’s biographer to Labrador. He found ways to help the Cole family – helping sell Cole’s paintings (he owned several himself, some of which are on view at Olana) and hired Cole’s son Theodore as Olana’s farm manager. When Church was in his 20s, he became enamored with the renowned naturalist and explorer Alexander von Humboldt who encouraged artists to travel and paint equatorial South

America. In 1853, Church made the first of two expeditions following in Humboldt’s footsteps, chiefly in Colombia; the second, in 1857, to Ecuador. At a time when people had little ability to see what other places looked like, the paintings he produced from these trips made him one of the best known and most successful painters of his generation. The New York exhibition of his tenfoot canvas, The Heart of the Andes, in 1859, “was the most popular display of a single artwork in the Civil War era, attracting 12,000 people who paid admission in three weeks to its New York premiere alone, then traveling to Britain and seven other American cities on a tour lasting two years.” The painting sold for $10,000 to collector William Blodget, at the time, the highest price ever paid for an American painting,” says Olana curator Evelyn Trebilcock. We get to see Church’s final study for “Heart of the Andes”. Church set out again to travel to exotic places and intrigued by literature of Arctic exploration, in 1859, he hired a boat to take him to the north Atlantic between Labrador and Greenland to sketch icebergs, joined by Louis Legrand Noble Thomas Cole’s biographer. At the beginning of the Civil War, in 1861, Church exhibited Icebergs: The North, another grand canvas, which also was a blockbuster hit. With his career on the rise in 1860, Church’s married Isabel Carnes and came back to the Hudson River Valley, where he had studied painting with Thomas Cole, and bought a farm overlooking the Hudson River on the

opposite shore from Cole’s house. Touring Olana: ‘Thou Art Welcome” You walk in through the threshold to Olana under an inscription in Arabic, “Thou Art Welcome.” Most remarkable: all the land and the contents of the grand home are intact, because they had always been within the Church family, and everything you see was meticulous conceived and planned by Church. That’s what makes the experience of being here all the more profound – there is an immediate connection to the man and creative process of this great artist, who until now, I had only appreciated through his canvases on view in art museums. Olana is every inch Church’s creation. Church traveled the world (he is a worldly person in his reading and outlook) and went to Mideast, and when came back, wanted to create a “fantasy”. He actually never went to Persia but thought the Persian style could be fanciful. But he didn’t just fabricate the designs out of his imagination, he studied Persian art and architecture. He never visited the Alhambra, but bought photos in order to incorporate the Moorish design elements. He experimented with colors and patterns. “The desire to build attacks a man like a fever,” Church wrote. He built the house in two years (for about $90,000, or about $2.5 million

today), and spent the next four years meticulously decorating it. Church experimented with different designs; he mixed the colors; he based his patterns on a book of Persian architecture; the stencil designs on the door – in gold and silver paint – have a shimmering effect. The gilded patterns we see on the grand doors – Les Arts Aribe – are from original stencils. “He meticulously arranged every room, choosing exotic items for their emotional effect, each room a composition. It took him four years to complete decoration,” the guide says. I ask whether Church produced much art during this time, and the guide explains that by 1876, when Church was 50 years old, landscape painting had fallen out of fashion and his career was on the wane, Church came down with crippling rheumatism. Home and family became more important and Olana became his primary canvas. Most important to Church were the views. He oriented the house and the windows southwest to best capture the view. “Our home will be a curiosity in architecture, but the view from every window will be fabulous,” Church said. The paintings we see that decorate the rooms are Church’s own collections – his own paintings as well as painters he admired, including Thomas Cole. There is also Church’s painting of “Petra,” 1868, with its unusual

The many various things I learned along the way

Adulthood is a good time to look back at some things that have happened when we were younger. We listen, we learn, we make some mistakes, we learn. Here are some examples.

My Family’s Irish Heritage

Family members always taught me to appreciate and cherish our Irish heritage and that included knowing the peppy Irish songs, the Irish dances, the funny-looking leprechauns, the wearing of the green, the pots of shamrocks (those three-leaved clovers), the pot of gold that is hidden at the end of a rainbow, “I love shenanigans!” and the sense of humor that is distinctly Irish. It’s been said that St. Patrick’s Day revelers thought that wearing green made someone invisible to leprechauns, fairy creatures who would pinch anyone they could see not wearing green. People began pinching those who didn’t wear green as a reminder that the leprechauns would sneak up and pinch green-abstainers. As a kid I saw lapel pins that said “Kiss Me, I’m Irish” and “Erin Go Bragh” (Ireland forever) which were often worn along with green carnations on March 17th, St. Patrick’s Day. Parades were a big deal and so was

eating a dinner of corned beef, cabbage, boiled potatoes and carrots on the holiday. And of course there are the Irish sayings: “May your thoughts be as glad as the shamrocks. May your heart be as light as a song. May each day bring you bright, happy hours that stay with you all the year long.” “We’re going to have a whale of a time!” and the Irish slang term meaning “Sure and by God.” E.g., “Sure and begorrah, ‘tis a grand day to be alive!” And “Top o’ the morning,’” “May the luck of the Irish be with you!” and “Blarney – the gift of the gab.” “And it’s No, Nay, never, No, nay never no more” from “The Wild Rover.” The Irish people are known for their love of literature. As actor Kenneth Branagh once said, “Being Irish, I always had this love of words.” Eventually I found out about the pain of Ireland, too – the Great Irish Potato Famine that went on from 18451849 – where about one million people died from starvation and other famine-related illnesses because of a potato blight – as well as some people’s fondness for the alcohol and their inability to put it down. Some of my ancestors left Ireland in the years after the Great Irish Potato

Famine for the chance at a better life in America. Like many other immigrants they went through Ellis Island and suddenly found themselves standing on American soil – standing in New York City. Upon their arrival here in this country, my ancestors settled in Manhattan’s Lower East Side. Over the years they moved to other areas of the city. They got jobs and assimilated into the American culture. My grandparents were from Brooklyn. When my parents, aunts and uncles grew up they married and moved away but not too far away. As a kid, we moved from Flatbush, Brooklyn, to Rockville Centre when I was six years old – to a larger house with a front and back yard that was perfect for kids to play in. And it just happened to be a neighborhood that had several kids that were more or less the same ages as my brothers, sisters and me. Most of the families in my neighborhood had lots of kids. That block was ideal for playing ball and playing other games like Ring-aLevio. We played for years whenever we had free time until one by one people started going away to college – and getting serious about their future careers.

Our Dog Named Pierre

Like most kids I had a fondness for dogs but my parents had their hands full with raising six children. I asked and asked to get a dog but for several years the answer was no. My dad worked in Manhattan with a co-worker named Joe and almost every day my dad and Joe had lunch together. I found out later that Joe and his wife, Sally, thought that their black standard poodle named Pierre might like living in the suburbs of Long Island. Joe and Sally lived in an apartment on Park Ave. and they thought that Pierre might have fun playing with a bunch of kids in yards that were green with grass and shaded by huge oak trees. My mom and dad slowly started talking about the possibility of getting a family dog but I was cautiously wary. I wouldn’t believe it until I saw it. One Sunday at the end of June Joe and Sally arrived at our house with Pierre and we were handed his leash. I was so happy because it was every kid’s dream to have his or her own dog. I imagined having a Golden retriever or a Labrador retriever or even a collie like Lassie on TV but here was Pierre the black standard poodle. See page D6

Social Security and My Mom BY TOM MARGENAU

You are probably reading this column sometime in early October, which is when I always think of my mom. Her birthday was Oct. 1. She’s been dead for about 20 years now. But when I think of her, two things I remember involve her relationship with Social Security. The first is just a cute story. I started working for the Social Security Administration in 1973. I was with the agency for only about two weeks, and was still in training class, when my mother’s mother, my grandma, died. I went home for the funeral and, of course, was surrounded by scores of my grandma’s relatives and friends, many of whom were older folks on Social Security. And my mother proudly introduced me to them as “my son, the Social Security expert.” I was inundated with what seemed like a hundred questions about retirement benefits, widow’s benefits, Medicare benefits and all other elements of the government’s retirement and health insurance programs. With all of 10 days of training under my belt, I somehow managed to stumble my way through some dubious answers to their questions. If someone had told me then that someday I would be writing a nationally syndicated question and answer column about Social Security, I would have laughed in their face! The second memory of my mom is a bit of a parable about Social Security. It’s the story of her and the lady who lived next door to us. It involves the sometimes strained relationship between workingwomen and stay-at-home moms (which I won’t touch with a 10-foot pole) and their experiences with Social Security (which I will address). It’s also a story of the haves and have-nots. I’ve told this tale before in my column, but it bears repeating. I grew up in a small Midwestern town where rich folks in big houses lived very near poor folks occupying much more modest dwellings. My dad was a janitor struggling to make ends meet. My mother had to work to help pay the mortgage and keep enough groceries on the table to feed me and my three siblings. Just behind our house across the alley was a big home, owned by the vice president of a local bank. His wife, even though she had a degree in journalism, never worked outside the home once the first of an eventual brood of six children came along. My brothers and sister and I got along famously with the children of the banker and his wife. We were always playing games, shooting baskets or otherwise just hanging out. On the other hand, our parents rarely spoke. I guess the economic and educational gulf between them was just too great to foster any kind of meaningful relationship. And that gulf only widened later in life between my mom and the neighbor lady after both of them became widows. Sadly, most of the friction and resentment came from my mom’s side of the alley. And much of it had to do with Social Security.

Before I go on, I must point out this general Social Security tenet. The rules say that if you are due two Social Security benefits, you don’t get them both. You only get an amount equal to the one that pays the higher rate. My mom’s situation was a good example of that. Because she had worked most of her life, she received her own Social Security retirement benefit. The widow’s rate she was due on my dad’s Social Security account was only slightly higher than her own. That meant she kept getting her own benefit, but she got a small bump in her monthly checks from my dad’s side of the Social Security ledger. Across the alley, the neighbor lady received no benefits on her own Social Security account, but she did get a rather substantial widow’s benefit from her deceased banker husband. It was quite a bit more than my mother received from her combined accounts. And this peeved my mother to no end. Sadly, she lived the rest of her life bearing deep resentment, partly to her neighbor, and partly to the Social Security system that allowed what she perceived to be this injustice to happen. I can still hear her griping: “THAT WOMAN never worked a day in her life. And there she is in that big house, getting more money each month from the government than me, a woman who worked hard all her life just trying to make ends meet!” I used to ask my mom this: “If you believe things are unfair, what do you think we should do about it? Should we take widow’s benefits away from Mrs. (X) because you don’t think she deserves them?” My mother might get a nasty little gleam in her eye with that thought, but she always admitted that the neighbor was due her widow’s benefits. My mom would counter with this: “I think I should get my own full Social Security benefit AND my own full widow’s benefit. After all, I worked and paid for my Social Security, and your dad worked and paid for his Social Security!” On the surface, it seems like a valid point. In fact, I’ve heard thousands of workingwomen make the same argument over the years. But here is the flip side of that coin: If workingwomen can get their own retirement benefits and full spousal benefits, then shouldn’t workingmen be offered the same? For example, why can’t I get my own Social Security retirement benefit and at the same time collect husband’s benefits on my wife’s Social Security account? Or here is another example. I have a neighbor who is a widower. He was an executive with a large corporation. His wife was a librarian. They each got their own Social Security. But his benefit was much larger than hers. Now that she is gone, should he be allowed to get his own rather generous Social Security check and a dependent widower’s benefit from his wife’s Social Security? The truth is: Social Security spousal and survivor benefits have always been

classified as “dependent’s” benefits. They are meant to be paid to a lower-earning (or no-earning) spouse who was financially dependent on the higher-income spouse. They were never meant to be some kind of add-on marital bonus. Indeed, the Social

Security system would have gone bankrupt decades ago if we were doing that! If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has the answer. Contact him at thomas.margenau@comcast.net. COPYRIGHT 2017 CREATORS.COM

On the wall, “Christian on the Border of the Shadow of Death,” a dark, early Church painting, reminiscent of Cole. Here in the house, we can see the transition of his style, from largely emulating Cole to developing his own style and perspective. “Church was a smart marketer of his art – people paid a fee to see just one painting. Lithographs of his work were successful,” says Olana curator Evelyn Trebilcock. “When Church studied with Cole, he painted in Cole’s style, incorporating Christian message, but Church realizes it is not commercial

-not saleable- so he instead shows God in beautiful sunsets.” We go up back stairs that would have been used by the servants – to the second floor family rooms, which were opened to the public in 2009. Most impressive here are the tiles and the fireplace, produced by Ali Mohammed Isfahan which Church acquired in New York City (they know because they have the receipts). In the dining room, set for a family meal, the walls are an art gallery – none of which are Church’s, but are the pieces he collected on his travels through Europe, artists he wanted to See page D6

The many various things I learned along the way C ontinued from page D3

We excitedly promised our parents that we would walk Pierre morning and night, that we would feed him, water him, run around in the back yard with him, brush him and take care of him. Sure enough we did as we had promised and we enjoyed playing with him but Pierre never seemed 100% at home. He must have missed Joe and Sally terribly. Plus every day my dad got up for work at 6 a.m. and as soon as Pierre heard my dad moving around, he would get restless and call out for us. We six kids wanted to sleep a little later than 6 a.m., especially during the summer months when school was out. My dad didn’t mind helping to care of Pierre but he had to hurry and get dressed to go to work in Manhattan. Most days he walked the mile from our house to the railroad station so he had to leave at a certain time. The idea of having us kids take care of Pierre wasn’t working out so well. After a month of living with us in the suburbs we overheard our mom and dad talking and at some point we were told that Pierre had to go back to his home in New York City. We protested and protested but my parents wouldn’t change their minds. We tried using logic and we tried pleading but nothing worked. One Sunday shortly afterwards Joe and Sally drove up in their car and when Pierre heard them walking up to our front door, he got so excited. I remember seeing his tail wagging back and forth and he jumped up to be petted by Joe and Sally as soon as they entered

our house. They sat down and we all chatted for a while. They had lunch with us that day and we told Joe and Sally about some of the things Pierre had done while living in Rockville Centre. Pierre ran around the back yard with us and sometimes he would hide behind bushes hoping that he would fool us. When we threw him a tennis ball, he would catch it then prance around the yard like a proud puppy. When the time came, we handed Pierre’s leash, food and water bowls, and his favorite blankets back over. We disliked having to give him up but when we saw him reunited with Joe and Sally, we knew how much he really loved them. I remember giving Pierre one last long hug before he hopped in his car, the one he was the most familiar with, and headed back to his Park Ave. apartment.

My Perfect Full-time Job

In high school and college I worked for a certified public accountant (CPA) - part-time when I was in school and full-time during the summer breaks and whenever I was home for long weekends. I was the CPA’s first secretary. I answered the phones, booked appointments for him, greeted the visitors/ customers, did the billing, ordered supplies and kept things running smoothly especially at tax time. He eventually hired a college kid as his junior accountant. I became his junior bookkeeper and in time he hired another secretary. My boss had worked at one of the Big 5 accounting firms in Manhattan, gotten some experience and

then set up his own shop. He wanted to be his own boss. His office was over a bank in a strip of stores that was conveniently located near the LIRR station in Rockville Centre. It was just a few blocks away from St. Agnes Cathedral High School which I attended so I could walk to work right after school ended each day. The four of us would celebrate our birthdays and other special occasions at lunchtime at various local restaurants. On regular days we would either brown bag it or I would order a pizza or sandwiches from a deli then I would walk over to pick up the food. Every so often I’d hear a LIRR train pulling in or out of the station across the way. Looking up, I’d wonder where everyone was going. I always thought that they seemed so purposeful as they hustled in and out of the train station every day. With my active imagination, I figured that they were heading to their perfect jobs or catching the train to spend the day with relatives they hadn’t seen in a while. After daydreaming for a few minutes I would tell myself to get back to work. My boss would park his car across the street and on days when the weather was glorious, when I would feel the sun on my skin and a gentle breeze in the air, he would ask me to take his car for a spin and get the car washed in the next town over. He had a brand new Audi with a standard shift on the floor. No problem. I had learned how to drive a standard shift on the column in my parents’ Chevy Impala. My dad, who was in many aspects a practical man, had

taught all six of us kids how to drive that way. When I first got my learner’s permit and approached this standard shift on the column in my parents’ Chevy Impala I thought it was old fashioned and out of style. I thought that it “wasn’t cool.” All of my friends were learning how to drive on an automatic transmission. As a youngster I had questioned it since driving an automatic transmission seemed so much easier. But in my boss’ car I thought that his standard shift Audi was cool. Sitting in the driver’s seat of that Audi I’d adjust the seat since my boss was six feet tall and I wasn’t, adjust the mirrors, depress the clutch pedal, shift and get going. Zipping along the side streets, I’d often pretend that I was the boss and that I owned that beautiful car but then I’d come back down to reality. I also appreciated the fact that I was comfortable driving a standard shift transmission car - a brand new car, at that - because I realized that it was a talent that not everyone had acquired. These days when I rent a car when I’m on vacation in a different city, I have no problem taking either a standard or an automatic car. I was a future accounting major so I learned a lot during the four years that I worked in the accounting office. After college I left Rockville Centre to explore other lands. I was excited about exploring the great, big world beyond. I knew that it was time to learn new things.

Fall Getaway in the Great Northern Catskills: Frederick Edwin Church’s Olana C ontinued from page D5 showcase and support. There are also portraits of Church, his father, Joseph, who became a director of the Aetna Life Insurance Company and Church’s wife – all painted by other artists since Church never painted portraits. In my mind, it suggests the humility of the man. Preserving Olana After Church died, his art (along with the Hudson River School) fell out of favor. And when, in 1964 Church’s daughter-in-law died, the fate of Olana was thrown into question. David Huntington, an art historian, organized a preservation group to buy Olana and got the heirs to agree to give the group two years to come up with the funds to buy Olana.

“The house was going to be dismantled – the items had already been tagged for auction at Sotheby’s,” Mark Prezorsky, landscape curator, says. “The Hudson School was out of style. You could buy a Cole at a garage sale.” Indeed, the 1960s was not a good time for Victorian architecture – it was a time for sweeping away the “old” for the new, a period of anti-establishment frenzy. Cole’s home, Cedar Grove, for example, was put up for auction – all the possessions were sold off – and might have been knocked down altogether to make way for the Rip Van Winkle Bridge. The Catskill Mountain House which dated from 1824 and figured in many of the Hudson River School paintings, he pointedly notes was burned down in 1963.

But Huntington, the art historian, “was able to see what Olana was.” The preservation group raised the $430,000 purchase price just by the deadline with 10 cents to spare. But now that they owned the house, the problem was affording to maintain it. New York State in astonishing short order had Olana declared a state historic site – the resolution went through three readings in the Assembly and Senate in a single day and Governor Nelson Rockefeller flew by helicopter to Olana for the bill signing. The site is now owned and operated by the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. Olana is one of first anywhere to have a preserved “viewshed” (Monticello is another) – arguing the need to preserve the view helped defeat a plan to build a

nuclear power plant on the Hudson. “The farm is a big part of Olana,” Prezorsky, the landscape curator, says. “The way we experience it is how move through it –the views open up….. He composed his home as artistic masterpiece in midst of nature. This is one of the few farms where art and farming intersect.” Church had a 10-acre lake hand-dug as part of the design “before machinery; he sold off “muck” for profit.” Church, he says, was a very practical man; he wanted the farm to be a sustainable enterprise. He planted some 50,000 trees. Thanks largely to the preservation of Olana and the Thomas Cole House, the Hudson River School regained its place in American history and culture. Olana awakened a sense of pride in scenery and conservation.

Olana resuscitated an appreciation for Church’s art. In 1979, Frederick Church’s “The Icebergs” - discovered in a home for boys in Manchester, England - broke the record for an American painting, selling at auction for $2.5 million. Olana offers house tours from April through October (closed Mondays), and on weekends November through March. Reservations are highly recommended; there is a car fee on weekends and holidays, and a fee for the house tour. Plan your visit and see a schedule of special events, at olana.org.

In front of a big crowd celebrating Homecoming, Coach Dave Ettinger’s GC Trojans beat their archrival Carey, 38-0. After jumping out to a 17-0 first quarter lead, the Trojans coasted to an easy win over previously once beaten Carey. GC improved to 6-0 on the season and are tied for first with Mepham, also 6-0. GC now owns the longest win streak on Long Island, notching their 18th straight victory. The defense forced Carey to punt on 5 of 6 first half possessions and overall held Carey on 10 of 11 third down conversion tries. Carey completed one long pass which looked as though the starting GC defense would surrender their first TD of the season, but safety Matt Granville ran down the receiver and pushed him out close to the GC goal line. GC then held Carey on the next four downs to preserve the shutout. GC totaled 337 yards on offense for the day, with QB Colin Hart completing 5 of 9 for 148 yards. Colin had two passing TDs, one to Cole Dutton and one to Justin Coppola. Cole’s TD was a result of Colin scrambling to avoid a sack and finding Cole who broke his pattern to get open culminating in a 60 yard pass play. Trevor Yeboah-Kodie

rushed for 101 yards on 11 carries and 2 TDS all in the first half. Trevor now leads Nassau County in rushing TDs with 15. Joe Scattareggia scampered for 28 yards and one TD. Pat Leggett added 28 yards, while Justin ran for 22 yards. Defensively, Michael McCauley’s strip sack forced a fumble which was recovered by James Buckley inside the 20 and led to another Trojans TD. Andrew DeSantis added a sack, two tackles behind the line, and a blocked punt. Nose guard Sal Ingrassia and linebackers Matt Desimpliciis and Matt Flanagan continued to dominate ball carriers at the line of scrimmage holding Carey to only 10 rushing yards in the first half. Meanwhile, the secondary completely shut down Carey’s fine passing game. Carey’s QB had thrown for 1000 yards coming into the game and was limited to only a few completions. The secondary of Trevor, Matt Granville, Aidan Griffin, and Tyler Wuchte has become virtually impenetrable. Stephen Spirakis was 5-5 on extra points and also added a 37 yard FG. GC next plays away at Valley Stream Central on Saturday Oct 21st at 2:00pm.

Thunder 10 Wuchtes go 5-0

It was a battle weekend between Garden City and Franklin Square. The weekend began Friday night with a JV win against Carey and continued Saturday afternoon with a Varsity Homecoming win against the Seahawks. The Thunder 10’s were pumped to continue the weekend winning streak. The boys got to experience playing on the newly renovated Carey High School turf field. The Warriors came out fired up and prepared to go. The first drive caught the Thunder boys by surprise, but the team’s defense would bend but not break. The Thunder defense has gone 19 quarters without giving up a point and wasn’t prepared to start now. The offense needed to work hard to score twice against the big physical Warrior team. The final score was 12-0. The boys will be home Sunday playing at Community Park against the Hempstead Tigers and hope to continue their winning streak.

Thunder 8’s spar with undefeated Bellmore

61 line by the defensive wall of Nathan Cohen, Ronan O’Donohue, and Owen Sack. Down 13-0 at halftime, Thunder refused to pack it in and worked tirelessly to stay in the game. CJ Rogler and Luca Thomas, had several breakaway runs, but Bellmore’s secondary was fast and accurate. Thunder highlights included powerful offensive line performances from James Butt and Dimitrij Prokopez, strong defensive tackles by

Kelly Knapp and Jack Campolettano for big losses and Thomas Bacich’s fumble recovery on the three-yard line to stop another scoring drive. Though the final score was 19-0, the boys left the field knowing they gave it all they had! Fall temperatures are finally rolling in and Thunder 8 is prepping for their next game at home against East Rockaway on Sunday, 10/22 at 8:00 a.m. at Community Park. Go Thunder!

GC Knights take 3 of 4 at Connecticut Tournament

The Garden City Boys U10 Knights rode into Connecticut with plenty of enthusiasm and came away with victories in three or their four games at the Columbia-Windham Tournament over the Columbus Day Weekend. The Knights won their first game on Saturday over the Killingly Strykers by

a score of 5-2, and followed that game up with a hard fought 2-0 win over a strong Tolland Revolution side. On Sunday morning the Knights were staging a frantic comeback against the host team Columbia-Windham, but fell short 4-3 when the final whistle sounded following a flurry of shots by

Logan Mullally on the ball.

the Garden City side. Later Sunday the Knights bounced back from the early morning loss with a 5-3 win over the Enfield Thunderhawks as both teams put in tremendous effort under heavy rain fall. The Knights include Jake Brown,

Sean Conway, Jacob Cooper, Angelo Cupani, Andrew Dengler, Luciano Falzone, Edward Fecht, Aiden Hynes, Luke Hynes, Charles McCarthy, Logan Mullally, and Thor Ullrich. The Knights are coached by John McCarthy and Kurt Dengler.

GCHS Boys Varsity Soccer Team ends regular season The Garden City High School Boys Varsity soccer team began its soccer season journey in August with some tough summer training. They pushed each other to develop their soccer skills for a tough season ahead. With a bunch of new young recruits, the team set out on a soccer expedition to find what kind of team they wanted to be at Camp Wahnee in CT. They bonded over a few days and came back ready for the start of the season. The boys began the season with a strong effort before facing a reality check 1-0 loss to GNN. They then scored

some great wins 2-0 over MacArthur (only loss of the season) and then suffered a tough loss to number one ranked Jericho, playing some super soccer nonetheless. The boys finished the season with 6 league wins and 2 ties to finish up with a record of 7 wins, 2 loses and 3 ties. They racked up some great team chemistry and are now ready for their first playoff game this Saturday Oct. 21st at 2:30pm, GCHS vs Floral Park. Thanks to the players and coaches and fans for some great soccer memories. Now put in the EFFORT.

63 Motor Mania Legos at St. Paul’s Cluett Hall for Grades 1-4!

When: Thursdays – October: 19, 26, and November: 2, 9, 16, 30 Classes will be held from 4:00-5:00pm at St.Paul’s Cluett Hall. Cost: $135 per child, checks made payable to Bricks 4 Kidz. Registration is limited to 12 children. Bricks4Kidz classes build on the popular LEGO bricks to deliver high-quality educational play. Each hour-long class is an engaging experience for your child with a new project each week. Our unique models aren’t the kits you find on the shelves of a toy store. They’re designed by Bricks4Kidz to teach concepts across a variety of subject areas. We kick things off with a discussion about key concepts related to the model, then get right into the building. Working with a partner or on their own, your child will experience the hands-on fun of seeing a model come together piece-by-piece, from concept to completion – and it’s motorized! In this session children will make motorized models of tools of the trade from a hand-held power saw and jackhammer to some tough, all-terrain vehicles such as a bulldozer and a dump truck. To register for this program, please visit our Recreation and Parks Office at 108 Rockaway Avenue.

The Thunder 11’s dropped a heart breaker on Sunday. Levittown gave Garden City a tough run, but in the end the Thunder could not storm by the Pride. The Thunder defense worked extra hard and during their opportunities on offense, GC couldn’t break through. The boys will continue to work hard this week for the game at Massapequa on Sunday at noon. Come cheer them on.

Thunder O heads to the line
