Environmental Board reviews waste-to-energy plant operations BY RIKKI MASSAND

At its monthly meeting on October 18th the Garden City Environmental Advisory Board (EAB) presented information about its early October visit to the Covanta Hempstead waste management facility, Long Island’s largest industrial-size waste management operation. Covanta describes

the Hempstead campus as an “award-winning Waste-toEnergy Facility that serves the Town of Hempstead.” EAB member Elizabeth Bailey led the presentation and noted that in the United States, an average of 5.5 pounds of waste is produced per-person every single day, equating to “a lot of waste to get rid of.”

Combined, the four Covanta facilities on Long Island process approximately 1.8 million tons of waste annually, and generate electricity servicing more than 100,000 homes. Covanta Hempstead located near the Stewart Avenue exit of the Meadowbrook Parkway. The village’s refuse See page 26

The Village Board of Trustees have approved funds for new groundwater monitoring equipment at the municipal composting facility on south Cherry Valley Avenue. The monitoring program will allow the village to comply with a new mandate from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. The village awared $56,300 to Woodbury-based D&B Engineers and Architects to assist Garden City with the implementation of the groundwater monitoring program during 2024. Garden City Superintendent of Public Works John Borroni provided details prior to the Board’s approval at its October 19 meeting at Village Hall. “The program comes in response to a recent notification received by the Village from the New York State DEC relative to the latest revisions to Part 360 regulations which incorporate new groundwater protection standards for organics facilities in Nassau and Suffolk counties. The proposal consists of three tasks; task one is creating a monitoring plan, task two is to design and oversee the monitoring well installation. Task three involves sampling and testing each well quarterly, throughout calendar year 2024,” he shared. Borroni advised that village

administration and DPW request future funding for the construction and installations of the three monitoring wells proposed.

New bathroom at Village Yard

For a few items related to the completion of renovations of bathroom facilities at the Public Works’ Village Yard, the trustees approved a transfer of funds of $15,593. Of that amount, an estimated cost of $12,000 was allocated to pay Call-A-Head Corp. for the rental of portable restrooms at the site, for the duration of the construction on the Yard facility. The allocation for bathroom rental will be used on an as-needed basis, as the project is expected to be completed by late November. The Village Yard bathroom project involves upgrades and new fixtures for the 18 foot by 16 foot space, which serves approximately 70 employees. Superintendent Borroni noted that the project includes the installation of three urinals, three toilets and relocating the shower. “All plumbing fixtures needed to be removed and all plumbing had to be modified, and a nonload-bearing wall needed to be demolished in order to make the space ADA compliant. We also installed two floor drains and a hose bin to allow for cleaning and added a new water fountain with a bottle-filler for our workers,” See page 26

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Email: Editor@GCNews.com

People need a voice

To the Editor: It’s election time and this year, we find ourselves facing an assault not only on our quality of life, but on our pocketbooks as well. I am referring to both the proposed mega casino at the Nassau HUB, just a stone’s throw from our community and questionable expenses in the 2024 proposed Town Budget. In 2013, County Executive Mangano proposed a casino along Old Country Road in Westbury. The people rightly rose up against that idea for the very same reasons they rise again in opposition to the current casino proposed in our backyard. I decided to run for Hempstead Town Council from this district because the people need a voice that represents them and not partisan politics. Ten years ago, I was against the casino and I am against the casino yet again. We get besieged with the “I Love Me” flyers mailed incessantly to our homes at taxpayer expense, certainly coincidental to campaign mailings, claiming that the Town Board protects our quality of Life. However, when questioned about how they will vote on rezoning and other Town issues facing the casino, they are curiously quiet. Their failure to acknowledge and discuss the issue clearly shows they will be voting against you in favor of the proposal. It doesn’t take much to “man up” and be forthright with the voters, who will have to foot the bills. I guess it’s just too much for them to handle. If you are for it, be honest about it. We all understand that you have enormous political pressure not to embarrass the County Executive, but hiding behind silence is the cheap way out. We’ve seen the evidence of the negative impact this casino will have on Garden City. Traffic will increase tremendously, with people even cutting through on our local streets to beat the traffic on the main streets. The colleges have raised concern that a casino

sandwiched between them will create a gambling addiction among our young residents. The incumbent candidates won’t talk about the casino because they are confident the voters will just blindly re-elect them. Once that has happened, they will be free to do what they want. If they won’t be voting for you, don’t waste your vote by voting for them – and against yourself. Let’s develop the HUB intelligently and not politically. Let’s create something that will infuse money into an aging tax base. Let’s create a place where our children can move to when they leave college and get jobs, instead of living at home. Give them the opportunity to grow. On the economic front, we have all heard about high taxes are, yet we keep getting flyers from Hempstead Town about how they held the line on the 2023 tax levy. I think it’s time we take a hard look at lowering the line on taxes. That will come from intelligent and transparent budgeting. For example, Hempstead Town budgets 30 Messengers at a total cost of $2.2 million. The messenger at the Animal Shelter is budgeted at $123,600 and the messenger at the Water Utility will make $104,000. With virtual notary public and a wide array of technology available, why 30 messengers? There will be other areas in the budget that with a good hard look could save the taxpayers money. Lower the tax levy and you lower the taxes, regardless of assessment. As a lifelong resident of Garden City, having gone through the Garden City Public Schools and Fordham University, where I received a B.S in Finance, I want to ensure our quality of life continues in its finest fashion. In my public life, I served as Finance Commissioner of the Town of North Hempstead where, by removing a great deal of waste and payroll padding, we See page 43

Last year, students from the Lutheran Preschool sang and signed in American Sign Language “God Bless America” at a veterans event. Everyone is invited to the Garden City Veterans Day ceremony to honor our veterans. A bell will strike at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month for that moment signified the end of World War I. There will be two ceremonies to honor our veterans. At 9:30 a.m., the ‘Meet the Veterans’ program begins in the GC Library lower level conference room. Promptly at 11:00 a.m., the ceremony continues at the Village Memorial Plaza outside the library. Commander Frank A. Tauches, Jr. will lead members of the William Bradford Turner Post of the

American Legion, other community leaders, and members of the community in honoring our devoted veterans. “On Veterans Day, we commemorate the service of all veterans, living and deceased,” said Commander Tauches. “We remember how our men and women, many of them citizen soldiers, set aside their civilian pursuits to defend the freedom of mankind and to preserve our precious American heritage.” Community leaders join in asking everyone to attend these ceremonies to honor our veterans, our heroes. Students, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts and adults are all welcome to attend.

GCPD collects Toys for Tots With the holiday season upon us, it is a time to reflect upon how fortunate we are to have the opportunity to share these times with family and friends. As you may be aware, many children are not so fortunate. To bring some happiness to families who do not have the resources to provide a gift for their child this year, the Garden City Police Department has a gift depository for the United States Marine Corps (USMC) Toys for Tots Program. Police Headquarters

is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Your generous gifts could make a difference to a child, no matter how small. In the spirit of giving, please drop off any new, unused, and unwrapped toys into collection boxes located in the lobby of the Garden City Police Department by December 18. Last year, the Department collected several boxes of toys, which the Marines distributed to many children.

Niamh Pfaff and Tara Murphy earned the Girls State Leadership Scholarships. The American Legion Auxiliary Unit 265 is sponsoring the annual Loose Change Drive until November 10th. This program supports the ALA Empire Girls State Leadership Program Scholarships, and awards to juniors and seniors at GCHS. Donations can be left at the office of Auxiliary Scholarship Committee member, Dr. Lisa Coors at Physical Therapy Options, 226 Seventh Street, Suite 101, Monday – Friday, 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. Empire Girls State Scholarships are granted to qualifying juniors. These students participate in a week-long intense orientation to government processes, simulated founding of communities, and an understanding of civic responsibilities. The Loose Change Drive also provides awards to juniors for American History and to seniors for Social Studies. Tara Murphy and Niamh Pfaff both participated in the Empire Girls State Leadership Program in July at SUNY Brockport. Tara said, “I learned so much about the process of writing and passing bills. This information, I believe, will help me to become a better-informed citizen. I also enjoyed the opportunity to meet so many girls from several different backgrounds and regions of New York State. What I think was the most valuable aspect of Girls State, however, was the incorporation of Americanism, including daily flag raising and lowering ceremonies and a POW-MIA ceremony.” Niamh Pfaff had a great experience at Girls State, also. She said, “Building a state government from start to finish taught me a lot about the function of our real-life government. I had the opportunity to write, pass, and enforce our own laws. Girls State introduced me to so many amazing new people. I met my new best friends while at Girls State. It

Two residents donated to the Loose Change Drive. also opened my eyes to the opinions and values of others, while teaching me to collaborate and focus on compromise." Augustin Mingoia Murphy said, “Boys State gave me a valuable in-depth understanding of our democratic form of government and its structure. The week of government training also included amazing lectures by guest speakers and alumni. It was a challenging and demanding experience, but I can see how it prepared me for the future. I was honored to be given the opportunity to be in the Boys State Band and play our national anthem and the Boys State Alma Mater.” Tara, Niamh and Augustin all agreed it was an unforgettable and valuable experience. They were very grateful to the American Legion for the opportunity to participate in the 2023 Girls and Boys State Leadership programs. Programs are funded solely by contributions from citizens interested in the perpetuation of appreciation for America’s unique form of government, its history, and civic responsibility.

Garden City High School’s Marching Band performs during the US Bands NYS Championship where they earned first place in Division IIIA. Photo courtesy of Garden City Public Schools Garden City High School’s marching band continued its busy season during Garden City’s homecoming weekend, culminating on Oct. 22 when it earned first place at the US Bands NYS Championship for Division IIIA. The band's score of 87.2 was their highest score in four years. It kicked off homecoming weekend on Oct. 20, Spirit Day, when the band split into five groups and performed at Garden City Middle School, Stratford, Stewart, Hemlock, Locust, Homestead and finally at the high school for the pep rally. At the homecoming football game, the band played alongside fifth through eighth grade band students at the fifth annual All-District Marching Band Day before performing their halftime show. Later that night, band members volunteered their time at the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s “Light the Night” Fundraiser. Finally, on Oct. 22, they

captured the NYS Championship at Lindenhurst High School. Marching Band Director Daniel DellaMonica said, "the students played with such a fire and passion that I knew this was definitely their best performance of their field show yet. I am just so proud of all that these students were able to accomplish this weekend, musically, and for the Garden City community. It just goes to show the strong character of these remarkable individuals.” During the weekend, the marching band was responsible for and incredible 14 performances in three days. They performed yet again at the Oct. 24 Garden City Board of Education meeting when the drumline played to honor School Board Recognition Week. The board recognized all band members in attendance for all of their achievements as well as their service to the community.

Choral Society to debut season at GCCC The Long Island Choral Society, under the direction of Music Director Michael C. Hagler, will open its 95th season with a performance of Sacred Music from the Eastern Orthodox tradition and the Western Sacred music, including American Spirituals, to be held on Sunday, November 12, at 4 p.m. at the Garden City Community Church.

The Hempstead Town Board Brags About Holding the Line on Taxes. Maybe It’s Time to Lower That Line. It’s Time for Transparency and Accountability. Does the Town REALLY need 30 Messengers at a cost of $2,263,402? Take a look at a sampling of what you are paying for: Department

The Cathedral Choir BY LARRY TREMSKY AND KYLE SABO The Cathedral of the Incarnation will offer Choral Evensong this Sunday, November 5, at 4 p.m. Join the cathedral community for the return of Sherry Hour, a favorite of years past, hosted by the vergers of the cathedral on Sunday, November 5, at 3 p.m in the Undercroft. Since this is the first Sherry Hour in some time, an RSVP will help us with planning so please let us know if you will attend by emailing the vergers at vergers@incarnationgc.org. Evensong consists of prayers, read-

ings from scripture, hymns and texts sung by the Choir. Unlike most other services today, most of Evensong is sung by the Choir alone, giving the congregation a chance for peaceful meditation and reflection. Evensong provides a quiet end to the weekend, as well as a refreshment for the week to come. This service, celebrating All Saints’ Day, will feature the Cathedral Choir singing music of Herbert Howells, Basil Harwood and Philip Moore, all significant composers of music for the Anglican church in the last century. All are invited to attend.

Order local homemade pies for Thanksgiving Despite recent rainy weekends, Garden City’s Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Central Nassau (UUCCN) had a very successful “Pumpkin Patch” festival in October. Sales of pumpkins exceeded last year’s total (three trailer loads), and the church could barely keep up with the demand for homemade baked goods. Due to the demand for pies, in particular, the UUCCN’s baking team of

Anna Lea Smith and Jovana Millot have agreed to bake more apple, pecan, and pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving. To order, call UUCCN at 516-248-8855 and leave your name, phone number, and the quantity and type of pies you would like. Each pie is $23. The pie recipes come from Anna Lea Smith’s mother, who starting baking pies over 100 years ago in Tennessee.

The New York Redistricting Saga BY BOB MORGAN, JR. Although it is something of an inside baseball topic, the long-running fight in New York State over reapportionment of legislative and Congressional districts has continuing state and national implications. As a review, legislative and Congressional districts are required to be re-drawn every 10 years following the taking of the census. The purpose of the redistricting is to ensure that each of the districts continue to be roughly in equal proportion to population. Of course, however, there is a long tradition of partisan gerrymandering of seats in the redistricting process, so that districts are drawn more favorably to the party drawing the lines. One of many gerrymandering tactics is to crowd supporters of the other party into a limited number of districts, while spreading supporters of the line-drawing party sufficiently to maximize their advantage in many more competitive districts. For decades up to 2014, there had been something of a reciprocal gerrymander in New York State. Lines drawing districts for the State Senate, where Republicans long had been in the majority (although the majority was dwindling over time), were drawn favorably to protect GOP incumbents. Conversely, lines for the Assembly, where Democrats have long been in the majority, favored Democratic candidates. Both parties had to compromise on Congressional districts, although it seemed that incumbents were favored in the process. This pattern of de facto reciprocal gerrymanders was disrupted in the last decade by two sets of circumstances. First, an amendment to the state constitution was passed in 2014, with pretty bipartisan support, that established an independent redistricting committee to draw the lines rather than the legislature. Second, in 2018, the Democrats managed to wrest control of the State Senate from the Republicans. By 2020 the Democrats had elected a two thirds majority in both the Senate and the Assembly. Following the 2020 census, the heavy Democratic majorities in the legislature were determined to draw maps very favorable to their party, irrespective of the views of

the independent redistricting commission. When the commission deadlocked on partisan lines, the Democratic supermajorities rammed through heavily favorable maps. For example, observers estimated that Republicans would only get 4-6 of the 26 Congressional seats. Republicans, citing the 2014 constitutional amendment, challenged the legislative maps in court. They were successful in the New York Court of Appeals, the state’s highest court, even though all of the members of the court had been appointed by Democratic governors. Ultimately, a special master was appointed to redraw the lines, and the result was a competitive map. In 2022, a year in which Republicans did fairly well statewide, they won 11 Congressional seats compared with 15 for the Democrats, a result in rough proportion to the fairly close race for governor. The New York seats helped tip control of the House of Representatives to the Republicans. Democrats have now brought further litigation arguing that the lines drawn by the special master in 2022 are only temporary. Their chance of prevailing this time in the Court of Appeals are better, since the legislature, ignoring Governor Kathy Hochul’s choice, got a new, more left wing judge appointed to the court. However, if the lines end up being drawn by the legislature, there will likely be a series of new lawsuits by Republicans, which may run past the 2024 elections. You would think that this is a matter that could be resolved in a reasonable way. The voters have said that they desire an independent redistricting commission and this principle should be honored. The map drawn by the special master in 2022 seemed pretty equitable. Further, the wholesale redrawing of maps in the middle of a ten-year cycle after the census is confusing. On the other hand, the resolution of this dispute in 2022 had important consequences and changes in the map will likely have further repercussions going forward, so Republicans may have to make some concessions to the Democratic supermajorities in the legislature. Or this matter may drag on for many months.

Recycling Stickers

Knowing the details of your Village’s Recycling Program is critical to its success. Free Recycling Guide stickers remind you of the only items that can go in the green bin. The stickers are available at GC Village Hall and the GC Public Library. The stickers may be placed on the inside of your recycling container.

Veterans Day

William Bradford Turner American Legion Post 265 will conduct a ceremony on Veterans Day, Saturday, November 11, commencing at 10:45 a.m. in the area surrounding the Veterans Memorial at the Library on Seventh Street. The American Legion Auxiliary will distribute poppies in the area surrounding the Memorial one hour before and one hour

Water Service Line Survey

As a reminder, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is requiring the Village Water Department to create an inventory of all water service line materials within the Village by October 2024. In order to more accurately review customer-side information, the Village is asking for residents/businesses to fill out a quick survey regarding the material of the water service line that is viewable by your incoming water service. Please access the survey by clicking on the following link: https:// arcg.is/PnDCn. Please complete this survey at your earliest convenience. Your participation will help the Village save resources in not having to review additional historical documentation as part of the lead service line identifica-

tion program.

Free Lead Testing

Does your home have a lead water service line? Is there lead in your drinking water? Call 516-465-4017 and leave a message or email gardencitysampling@ h2m.com and a representative from H2M will contact you to deliver a free water sampling kit. This program is open to all residential homeowners who are provided water by the Village of Garden City.

Trustees approve funds for groundwater monitoring

From page 1 Borroni told the trustees. The board also approved a change order submitted by contractors the HIMA Group Inc. with a cost of $5,959 to perform additional work related to running electricity to the upgraded bathroom space. Borroni said the change order was needed to replace the existing electrical feed for the facility since it did not have enough power to supply the newly installed fixtures, including new wall-mounted air hand dryers. He added that the reduction in paper towels’ use is another benefit of the upgrades. Previously Trustee Charles Kelly and Deputy Mayor Bruce Chester asked a few questions on the total cost of the project, which received approval for a $13,000 increase at the board’s September meeting and has funding of up to $203,000 allocated. As reported in The Garden City News, reimbursement through a surety performance bond, and with the new contractor (HIMA Group) on the job, will help offset costs borne by the village. During the October 19th Board meet-

ing, Superintendent Borroni announced that the total for the DPW Village Yard bathroom renovations would be $167,959. “At this point in time all the expenditures above that amount are expected to be reimbursed by the surety company and we’ve already received the $13,000 in reimbursement,” he noted.

Insurance consultant to review plans

Two weeks ago the Village Board approved the award of a contract for $36,000 for Conshohocken, Pennsylvania-based Marsh McLennan Agency to provide the village with independent consulting services for the Dental Benefit (insurance) Plan. The cost will be paid out of the municipal Dental Fund, which is adequately funded to cover the expenditure. Secretary to the Board of Trustees and Village HR executive Courtney Rosenblatt offered details about the RFP award at the board meeting on October 19. “The Dental Insurance Fund is a self-insured fund and what Marsh Mcllelan would be able to provide inde-

pendent consulting to not only evaluate our village plan as it is self-insured versus having a fully-insured plan for the benefit of our employees, but they’ll also prepare an RFP and control that RFP process, analyze the responses to the RFP and provide some recommendations to the dental community in terms of plan administrator and types of policy that we go forward with,” she explained. Deputy Mayor Lawrence Marciano asked if Village HR and the administration investigated other providers to compare. Ms. Rosenblatt responded with, “We went with what we know and a firm we’ve been successful with.” Following a question from Trustee Ed Finneran, Rosenblatt said there were similarities to the work Garden City engaged Marsh McLennan for with the Deferred Compensation Plan which is also an employee-run plan. “They provided services to generate our RFP for administrative services as well as evaluation of the responses to the RFP; they furnished a blind report

on the responses and outlined the benefits and costs of each opportunity. We worked very well with them, and we wound up saving participants about $300,000 in fees per year. I expect and hope that we have similar results from this,” she noted. Marsh McLennan also became Garden City’s co-fiduciary in the Deferred Compensation Plan and the village maintains long-term engagement with the agency for that work. Rosenblatt advised the board that for the Dental Insurance Plan the same process is not involved given the engagement as an independent consultant and not a broker with clients. “Under the agreement with Marsh McLennan Agency as an independent consultant, they will not be pitching any dental insurance services that they represent….The village had been approached by other providers but they were also brokers, willing to provide the services, and they had their own clients at the forefront so that would not have represented an independent consulting arrangement,” she said.

EAB reviews waste-to-energy plant operations From page 1 along with municipal solid waste (MSW) from the Town of Hempstead, the Town of North Hempstead, the City of Long Beach and the Town of Brookhaven is processed there, as well as a smaller portion of municipal solid waste from the City of New York. The local facility, which is the largest of the four Long Island Covanta sites, processes about 1.01 million tons of msw annually, and has three boilers on-site. Mayor Mary Carter Flanagan, who is co-chair of the EAB along with Trustee Michele Harrington, has asked Garden City Superintendent of Public Works John Borroni to report on the trends of how many tons per year the village is sending to Covanta Hempstead.

LI’s Municipal Solid Waste Destination

Elizabeth Bailey explained that Covanta’s current four facilities do not

have the capacity to process all of Long Island’s municipal waste, and while it does process 75% of the municipal waste for all of Nassau and Suffolk, the other 25% generated goes to landfills. One million more tons of municipal solid waste gets trucked off Long Island each year, mostly from areas on the east end of Suffolk and from the Town of Oyster Bay. Covanta currently has at least one transfer station. Covanta officials told the group that only 65 kilowatt hours of energy can be generated from a ton of waste with landfill processes. According to Covanta if the waste is taken to be burned at a waste-to-energy facility like it operates, one ton of waste will create about 550 kilowatt hours of energy. Mayor Carter Flanagan said that as part of the tour the group viewed areas of the facility where garbage is sorted and ‘what’s done with it before it is incinerated.’ The tallest structure on

THE OFFICE CAT From page 25 on Clinton Road were charged with disregarding “No Commercial Vehicle” signs: 9 PM to 6 AM.

Halloween Trick Garden City Police investigated a damaged door on 2nd Street, apparently related to Halloween youth activity.

Suitcase stolen On October 31st a suitcase was reported stolen from a walkway to the Hamilton Place Apartments.

Bus hits overpass On October 31st Garden CityPolice responded to Chestnut Street, where a school bus struck the overpass. The driver was charged with disregarding bridge clearance signs.

Long Island is actually the Hempstead Covanta facility’s stack. The mayor explained how an operator manages the large claw equipment, turning over about 10,000 tons of waste to burn efficiently. “His job is fluffing it and they spoke about how you would not want something to be too dense if you are burning – a phonebook kind item for example, and they were fluffing waste to make it consistent and add air in between so it can burn,” she said. With images of the claw on the screen, the mayor decided to show a brief video of the process where the machinery takes the trash down the chute. Bailey noted, “the volume of the ash is reduced by 90% but the weight is only reduced by 75% and the reason for the difference is they use water to wet down the ash so it doesn’t blow around.” Ash goes to the landfill in the Town of Brookhaven, and Bailey explained that on an average day Covanta Hempstead sends 20 truckloads of ash to the landfill. She added that the ash is technically a mixture of fly ash (dust) and bottom ash (larger ash particles), and it has to be sent to an outside lab for samples to be subject to toxicity testing before it can go into a landfill. Covanta staff noted that its ash produced at the Hempstead site has never been found too toxic for a landfill. EAB member John Reilly commented that Covanta staff discussed the process of the ash being transported to Brookhaven’s landfill, but that site will be closing in 2028. “They will no longer be able to do that so the ash material

will need to be sent off Long Island. That’s going to be a major change going on, and they will not be able to truck so much of the ash out. I suspect that is one of the reasons they would be wanting rail potential, so they could pursue removals by freight. If they do rail, guess which towns it is going through? Either Mineola or down that line,” he said. Mayor Carter Flanagan noted that there may be an extension of time for the Brookhaven landfill. She commented on the Covanta diagram on ways to reduce, reuse and recycle materials. “They talked about their sustainability goals too, and they mentioned there’s been some change and I wonder if they are looking at the ash disposal potential,” she said. On reviewing the plant’s emissions, Bailey provided information and data charts indicating that Covanta emits only 1% of the cadmium that its permit allows for emissions, and only 1% or 2% of the mercury of the permitted limit. Full emissions data is available on the Covanta website. To review another example, Bailey shared, “For carbon monoxide their permit allows them to emit 100 parts per million (ppm) – for Unit 1 they emitted 39 ppm on average, for Unit 2 they emitted 47 ppm, for Unit 3 they emitted 53 ppm. The average comes to 46 ppm, so they would be 54% below the 100 that their permit allows up to. For sulfur dioxide Covanta’s permit allows them to emit 29 parts per million, and the three units 5, 9, and 1 ppm so they are 83% below their limit.” See page 56

IN MEMORIAM

Joseph L. Megale

Joseph L. Megale passed away at the age of 94 on October 27, 2023. He was born in New York City on April 6, 1929 and moved to Baldwin at the age of 9 where his parents, Lorenzo and Paulina opened the first Italian Restaurant in Nassau County, The Old Venice Inn. He was drafted out of Baldwin High School on a football scholarship by Bear Bryant in his early days at Kentucky. Feeling like he was too far from home and his mother’s sauce, he decided to return to Baldwin only to discover that his Father would prevent him from eating another home cooked meal until he was enrolled back into college, one way or another. This immediately led to another full ride football scholarship, this time at William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. Between his junior and senior years of college, he went to Paris Island, South Carolina where he graduated the grueling training program and became a proud member of the United States Marine Corp. During his senior year back at school and playing football, he suffered a major knee injury requiring surgery, so he received an Honorable Discharge from the USMC. After college, the US Army came knocking but he assured his mother that his knee would definitely prove unworthy for military service and that he would be home for dinner shortly after his Army physical. Needless to say, his knee performed fine that day, so he called his mother from the road heading down

south to basic training. He was trained as a demolitions expert but ended up serving on special forces playing football all throughout Europe during the Korean conflict. Upon his return home, he moved back down to Williamsburg, Virginia, site of his alma mater and opened up the Colonial Restaurant with a friend and armed with his mother’s recipes, they served the best Italian food the south had ever seen. There he met the love of his life, Patricia Raleigh Amole, then a student at William and Mary, and never looked back. While running the Colonial, he earned his Master’s degree in education and began teaching and coaching football. With his first son born in Virginia in 1958, they moved up to New York in 1959 where they continued to build a family in Freeport. He taught phys ed at Uniondale High School where he proceeded to coach the football team to victory in the county championship. He continued his career out in the Brentwood school system as District Athletic Director and later on as Assistant Principal where he retired in the late 80’s. Because he couldn’t figure out how to be retired, he continued to work in sales and barketing in the construction business as well as other endeavors for many years. Known by many and loved by all, he left his mark wherever he went and will be dearly missed. Survived by his loving Wife Patricia Amole Megale, Sons Larry (Megan), Joe, Chris (Curt, Judi) and Roger (Tiffany) along with grandchildren Kelley, Shea, Jack, Olivia, Isabel, Sofia, Lily and Luca as well as nephews Tom, Ryan, Devin and Nieces Melinda, Laurie Ann, Pauline and Carolyn, SistersIn-Law Debra and Marilyn along with Beloved 2nd and 3rd Cousins. Predeceased by his Grandson Matthew, parents Lorenzo and Paulina, Brothers Tom and Vince, Sister-In-Law Louise, beloved in-laws Roger and Mary Amole and brother-in-law Roger Amole Jr as well as aunts, uncles, cousins and many dear friends. The family will receive visitors at Fairchild Sons Funeral Home, 1201 Franklin Avenue, Garden City on Friday, November 3rd at 2-5pm & 7-10 pm. Mass of Christian Burial at St. Thomas the Apostle RC Church, 24 Westminster Road, West Hempstead, on Saturday, November 4th at 10am, Interment at St. Charles Cemetery in Farmingdale.

William Laurence “Larry” Kenny passed away on October 18, 2023, at St. Peter’s Hospital in Albany, NY. He was 80 years old. Larry was born in Rockville Centre, NY the youngest of four children to Louise and Edward Kenny. They lived in Hempstead, where Larry attended Our Lady of Loretto school. As a kid he enjoyed tagging along on his father’s mail runs, riding “shotgun” in the EJ Kenny & Sons truck. His 3 siblings were much older and doted on Larry when he was born. Larry met his wife Monica (née McLaughlin) at Our Lady of Loretto Catholic Church and they went on to marry in 1965. They moved to Garden City, where they raised three children; Meghan, Erin, and Patrick. Larry attended Suny Maritime at Fort Schuyler in The Bronx, or as he liked to refer to it “under the Throgs Neck Bridge”, graduating in 1964. He later went on to get his MBA from Hofstra University and then attended the Advanced Management Program at Harvard Business School. After college he sailed for Mobil Oil on the Socony Vacuum tanker as a Third Mate. He later was brought shoreside to work on the company’s chartering desk. In 1968 he joined Poten & Partners eventually becoming President and COO until his retirement in 1998. Through his ship brokerage career he traveled extensively to Europe and the Middle East. Upon retirement Larry worked for pleasure at Hicks Nursery for 10 years where he earned the moniker “Tomato Man”. A dedicated volunteer firefighter, Larry was a member of Rescue Company in the Garden City Fire Department for four decades. With a passion for firefighting and a commitment to his community, Larry’s service continued

a Kenny family tradition of which he was very proud. Larry’s hobbies and interests were vast including reading, Newsday crossword puzzles, horticulture and his koi pond. Larry, Monica and their children spent their summers in Southold, where many of their best memories were created. Boating, fishing and clamming were favorite pastimes as well as reading on the porch and watching the passing boats. Later as a grandfather, Larry enjoyed sharing his own childhood toy trucks with his grandsons and watching a new generation enjoy the special place they had created. A foodie, he enjoyed both trying new cuisines and the traditional foods of his family. Monica would make his favorite German meal, pinkelwurst, each year on his birthday. In 2021 Larry and Monica moved to a retirement community in Watervliet, NY to be closer to Patrick and his family. Larry spent quality time with his two grandsons ages 6 and 2 attending t-ball games, enjoying holidays and birthdays, teaching the boys about firefighting, and playing with cars together. Larry’s friendly spirit and positive nature meant that to know him was to love him. He didn’t pass a stranger on the street without offering a warm greeting. Larry exuded optimism and his great sense of humor shone through with every interaction. His passing leaves a huge void in the lives of those who loved him but his memory serves as an inspiration. Larry is survived by his wife Monica, his son Patrick (Kasey), his grandchildren Owen and Theodore and his daughter Erin. He is pre-deceased by his parents, two brothers Edward and Robert, his sister Carolyn and daughter Meghan. At his wishes, Larry's ashes will be spread in Peconic Bay at a later date.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR From page 2 were able to lower spending and reduce the tax levy. This is what I will bring to the Hempstead Town Board with your support. You can’t change how the system works until your change who works the system. Larry Nedelka, Candidate, Hempstead Town Council District 2

Misstatatements by Conservancy

To the Editor: It is unfortunate that Peter Coll and Frank McDonough, writing as the co-chairs of the St. Paul’s Conservancy, could not give the residents a week off from their misstatements and mischaracterizations that we have all had to endure the last couple of weeks. Their most recent mischaracterization in their letter to the GCNews (https:// www.gcnews.com/articles/conservancy-3-0/) is that the Oct. 21st 2023 opinion poll proved “that the majority of Garden City residents want the main building at St Paul’s to be preserved” is the type of misstatement we have come to expect from overzealous salespeople, but many are disappointed to see Peter Coll, a lawyer by training, signing on to such misstatements of fact. As Peter Coll Esq. well knows, “Proposal 1: Preservation” included two choices: a) saving the Main Building as well as b) “preserve the front of the Building as seen from Stewart Ave (Facadism) and allow a new building to be constructed behind it as a Recreation/ Community Center.” Whether Peter Coll and Frank McDonough are trying to convince each other, or intentionally misleading residents that might not be paying attention as to the meaning of the Village Opinion Poll results, one cannot venture to guess. Mayor Flanagan wrote in last week’s “Mayor’s Column” that the next steps “will include hiring experts to assist us in assessing community needs, evaluating the affordability of different options after uses have been determined, and assessing the value those options would provide to our community”. Hopefully professional, unbiased data about needs, rather than talk of “teenage dance rooms,” multi-decade/multi-phased projects, “white boxing” of 75% of the building and “pre-K programs” that are not allowed on parkland can help the residents decide between saving just the front of the building (facadism) or the front and the first row of rooms with a new facility behind it, the main “I” section with a new building behind it, or the entire 124,000 SF. While the Mayor Veneziale St. Paul’s Committee’s produced multiple drawings of the St Paul’s building that were on display for months and months in Village Hall, and despite Mr McDonough’s and other members of

the Committee’s assurances that façade was “extensively examined”, never was an architectural drawing of a new facility behind the façade presented to the residents, never was a picture of what it might look like presented to the residents, never were the residents asked if they might like an indoor astroturf field and running track or a new theatre/arts space to replace Cluett Hall or adjustable meeting rooms in a new facility to complete a modern Community Center. In fact, it is now apparent that the Committee did everything possible to discredit anything that did not include “saving every brick” as the rent-free Historical Society’s insists upon as it sends out emails about closing St Paul’s Fields for years at a time, despite what Westermann Construction has made clear is 100% incorrect. Still, residents should note that last week’s poll (self-selected) by the Garden City News when asked the question: “Now that the voters have chosen to preserve St. Paul’s, should the full building be preserved or just the facade?”, more than 2/3 of the residents overwhelmingly picked “Facade with a new building behind it. In fact, when you add those that support façade, but refused to vote for Preservation because they wanted no part of the Alliance and Historical Society plans and “misstatements”, it is clear a strong ‘façade” plan driven by resident use will get significantly more support than a plan that depends on the village giving up control to a “conservancy” with hopes and prays that the village will receive one special legislation after another and that one individual’s repeated assurances that funding, legality, timelines, etc, all with no documentation or independent analysis, is doable, despite our Village legal counsel saying it is not allowed without Alienation. The future of St Paul’s should not be driven by undocumented exaggerations, fanciful schemes depending upon special legislation, un-executable senior exemptions (the “Trustee Torino Senior Exemption”) marketing of $400 a year costs with no math provided, incorrect promises of cheaper labor (all public buildings are required to do work at prevailing wages, no matter who is contracting the work per our Village Administrator) other misstatements and more, all purportedly vetted by anonymous alleged “experts” that no one knows their names or has seen their written opinions, if they exist at all. So let’s support the efforts of the Mayor, our elected official, to get a real list of the resident’s uses, analyzed by an unbiased professional marketing group, and after that, we can save the parts of the building that make sense for the residents or rehab the entire building If that is what the marketing research indicates there is a need for. But let’s let it be fact driven by credible independent professionals.

Not listening?

To the Editor: As George Krug stated in his recent letter-to-the editor, we have heard absolutely nothing from Hempstead Town Supervisor Don Clavin about his position on the Sands Casino. Consequently, I went to the October 3rd meeting of the Hempstead Town Board intending to ask Supervisor Don Clavin and Councilman Thomas Muscarella about their views on the casino. After 90 minutes of discussion on the published agenda, it was finally time for comments from the public. Unfortunately, Clavin and Muscarella hurried out of the meeting just as the public comments session was about to begin. And, strangely, neither Clavin nor Muscarella offered an apology or even an explanation to the taxpayers who had been waiting patiently to address them. And that is too bad because they missed important comments from Monica Kiely and other residents from Garden City and Uniondale. Leo Stimmler

Vote for Nedelka

To the Editor: As attention shifts from the St. Paul’s opinion poll to the proposed casino, it is important for residents to take action in this year’s election to fight against the casino. As a refresher, Las Vegas Sands is proposing to build the second largest casino in the country one mile from our village border. They are expecting 23,000+ daily visitors that will result in increases in both crime and traffic. Garden City homeowners have the most to lose if this casino is built: 1) Increased cut through traffic on Stewart Ave., Clinton Ave., Meadow St., Old Country Road and many other village roads 2) Strong possibility of buses traversing down Old Country Road, Washington Ave., Franklin Ave.,Clinton Ave., and Stewart Ave. 3) Activation of the railroad spur along St. James St. 4) Casino visitors on our Hempstead and Main Line railroad lines at all hours of the day crowding our daily commutes 5) Increased property theft as gambling addiction rises in Nassau County 6) More DWI drivers on our roads visit any casino and you will see that drinking alcohol is simply part of the gambling experience 7) Lower home values - affluent home buyers will choose other locations further from the mega casino such as the North Shore or Westchester County I will stop at 7 reasons - visit nocasinonassau.org to learn about even more reasons. One of the big hurdles for Las Vegas Sands in 2024 is to obtain rezoning from the Town of Hempstead for the casino and related hotel complex.

Larry Nedelka is running to represent District No. 2 that includes Garden City. Larry is a life-long Garden City resident who graduated GCHS in 1973 and then graduated from Fordham University. Larry volunteered as a firefighter in the village for many years and served as its Chief. Larry is 100% against the proposed casino. It is becoming clear that the Republican elected officials do not appear to have the courage to vote against the mega casino that Bruce Blakeman is backing. We need a voice on the Town of Hempstead Town Council to speak on behalf of the vast majority of village residents who opposed this casino. I urge you to vote for Larry Nedelka for Town of Hempstead Town Council in early voting and on election day. Rich Catalano

Sign stealing

To the Editor: For the 3rd time in a month, someone stole the “Say No to the Casino” signs off of our very visible Stewart Avenue front lawn. Many others have had the same thing happen at their homes. Guess somebody doesn’t like the “Say No To The Casino” community groups Stealing signs is intentional. One day cameras will pick up the culprits and we’ll know who is so afraid of daylight. Of course, it’s no accident that the theft occurs at night. That’s when evil and thieves always lurk. It is very similar to how the whole Sands casino has been done - in the dark, without facts, without following the rules, without an Environmental Impact Statement, and rushed through. Pushed along when no one knew that 25,000 cars would descend on GC and the area every day, when gambling would go on nearly around the clock, when every criminal in a hundred miles or more will rush to our doorstep; leave Times Square for Hempstead, East Meadow, Garden City, Westbury, Uniondale, Carle Place and beyond, when the air will be more polluted when its already dangerously bad and more bad things. Dead of night is when they operate because a spotlight on the the SANDS casino is like sunlight is to Dracula - bad for their health. Just Friday morning, I asked an East Meadow resident “What do you think about the Sands casino?” He replied: “We don’t want it or need it.” That happens every time I ask- 100% say “No Casino.” Do the Sands Gambling Casino advocates fear the opposition? Sure they do because they know that this is far, far from a done deal. Click on the website and buy a sign for $3.00. Click “NOCASINONASSAU. ORG”. Voice your opposition and buy a sign. Richard J. Williams See page 44

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR From page 43

Make your voice heard

To the Editor: The future of the Hub at Nassau Coliseum is not yet certain. Our Nassau County legislature has transferred the long term lease for the Hub to the LV Sands corporation. The Town of Hempstead Supervisor, Don Clavin, and the six Town Council members will now be overseeing the LV Sands zoning application for the Hub property. The Town of Hempstead needs to hear that we are opposed to a casino project. I encourage you to learn more about this process at www.nocasinonassau.org and make your voices heard. With this in mind, your vote on Tuesday will help ensure development that does not include a casino. Let’s not let this be a “done deal” prematurely! Kate Quinn

Response to “Sore Loser, but...”

To the Editor: I read your recent comments concerning St.Pauls with great interest, and I would like to offer a different perspective on the matters you raised. It’s clear that you have strong opinions and concerns about the changes occurring in Garden City. However, I believe it’s important to address a few points in your statement. Residents moved to Garden City to enjoy the beautiful ambience, top schools, private parks, private Golf courses, beautiful pool complex, beautiful libraries, private police and fire departments—and the list goes on. It appears your vote was solely on how it impacts finances rather than what is best for the entire community. Second, your assertion that there is a “deep state” in Garden City designed to manipulate public opinion is a serious claim. The decision to condense three proposals into two does not necessarily indicate corruption. It actually reflects an attempt by competent government to refine the options and provide residents with a more comprehensive understanding of the choices available and the costs associated with those choices. Furthermore, suggesting that construction costs will increase significantly in the future is a valid concern. However, it’s crucial to remember that those governing Garden City, like any other place, faces the challenges of budgetary constraints. You will see that in Garden City once a decision is made, projects get started and competed in a timely fashion. While you anticipate that when the actual cost for the project are made public many residents will vote against the bonds. The residents of Garden City are comprised of a diverse community with a wide range of opinions, they will all come together to vote on what is best for the community rather than what is best for them personally It’s the essence

of democracy that allows each person to express their views and have the opportunity to vote their conscience but in the end we will all come together for the betterment of the community. I ask you to respect the democratic process and the decisions made by the governing body. We should engage in constructive dialogue and work together to find common ground and solutions that benefit the entire community. Garden City’s culture of preserving assets and managing liabilities is a commendable and does not deserve your criticism. Jerry DellaCorte

No clear direction

To the Editor: Why did 76% of the registered voters in Garden City have no opinion on the future of the St Paul’s Building? That’s right, only 15% of registered voters wanted a way to keep the building and 10% wanted demolition. This doesn’t represent a clear direction for the Board of Trustees. There was plenty of information available before the vote. There were clear impacts on our taxes for both options. What’s missing????? We are talking about 5 to 8 acres of parkland currently unused. None of the options identified a significant positive impact on the future use of this property. Think about it: the adaptive reuse alternative keeps on large building but only 1/3 would be for public use. That use was basically meeting rooms. The façadism alternative pictured a high cost significantly large building—loved by architects, contractors, engineers and conservationists-- having no identified final use for the residents of the Village. Even the demolition option presented no great enhancement to our parkland. I read the advertisement from the St Paul’s Alliance and they seemed to point out exactly what we need (and I quote) “open and closed turf fields, new covered tennis courts, and a renovated field house.” These among other ideas like better parking throughout the St Paul’s complex would surely have brought out more voters. But hold it. We have a building to take care of first. If there is 1/3 of the building we want to use, lets save one third of the building. If we demolish the building let’s make sure the next steps are clear so that the land will be used for purposes truly in need. As for a high cost large building, we would have to wait forever to get the project done. It’s time to forget this option or just save the front of the St Paul’s building, and remove all the wings. The ball in back in the hands of the Village Trustees. Jon Schwieger

Mayor, what next?

To the Editor: The poll conducted on October 21, 2023 confirmed the residents were clearly in favor the restoration of St. Paul’s. However, a poll it not a plan. It provides no guidance on how or what steps must be taken to move forward to achieve that goal. This lack of a plan is especially significant when one considers the ballot contained a stealth Facadism option within both Proposal 1 and Proposal 2. That Facadism option, tucked at the end of both proposals, had no architectural plans to support it, no drawings to show how it would appear, no numbers concerning the costs nor any presentations to the residents. The resident were merely provided the statement that consideration would be given to the affordability of saving parts of the Building, building a new building behind it and the possibility of replacing the Fieldhouse and Cluett Hall. Where did this provision have its genesis? While Mr. MacLeod has long favored Facadism, when I asked you for the documentation supporting costs or plans for this option you confirmed there was none. To move forward on developing a dialogue and plan to assist in fulfilling the object of the vote I submitted to you and Board the below resolution requesting it be placed on the Board Agenda. You refused. So I ask again, “What is your plan? Why the delay? When are the residents going to learn of the direction you intend to take? Proposed BOT Resolution - 11-02-2023 – rejected by the Mayor. Be it resolved that as the resident poll on October 21, 2023 was in favor of Proposal 1, the Village should forthwith move forward to implement that objective. Accordingly two (2) Board of Trustees committees consistent with the statement contained in Proposal 1 are to be established to investigate the two alternatives set forth in Proposal 1 for presentment to the Board and Residents. Each committee is to, inter alia, explore options, prepare Method of Procedure for each option, develop plans and schematics, estimate costs of construction, financing and operation, and provide time lines for the various components needed to implement these options, and to be funded by the Village to ensure this process is not impeded. The Committee designated to explore the Preservation - Adaptive Reuses of the St. Paul’s building is to be assigned to the St. Paul’s Alliance as it has the most knowledge concerning this process, with two members of the Board of Trustee to serve as liaisons. The Committee designated to explore the Partial Preservation - Facadism by using a portion of the St. Paul’s building with consideration of the possible demolition of the Fieldhouse and Cluett Hall

and construction of new building to be built behind that portion of the front of the St. Paul’s building that is retained is to be composed and assigned to those individuals who in the judgment of the Board of Trustees are qualified together with two members of the Board of Trustees to serve as liaisons. To achieve the objective of effecting transparency in this process the Village is to prepare and post to the St. Paul’s website the information provided by each committee which shall include, but not be limited to, the estimated timeline for each option for St. Paul’s, to wit: Adaptive Reuse, and Facadism as it related to the individual stages or activities that are anticipated to occur based on the vote held on October 21, 2023 to wit: SEQRA / EIS process; plans required for construction / demolition; obtaining cost estimates for all options; retention of experts, architects, engineers and counsel in support of all facets of the project and constructions involved in the securing financing and bonding; timetable of construction and Method of Procedure, etc. Bruce A. Torino, Esq. Village Trustee

Traffic calming

To the Editor: Over the last several years, traffic has become a significant challenge to the Village of Garden City. This challenge has been left unaddressed by previous Boards of Trustees. Under the leadership of Charlie Kelly the chairman on the Traffic Commission, the most recent board has taken a very active position regarding traffic. One of the most significant actions was the expansion of the Creighton Manning traffic calming study to review all of the sections of the village. As we know that study focused on different methods of applying traffic calming devices to slow traffic and increase pedestrian and driver safety. The first notable application of these traffic calming devices are the speed humps on fourth street near St Joseph’s school. Those speed humps have dramatically reduced both the speed and volume of traffic on Fourth Street. The residents along with administration of St Joseph’s school have been very outspoken about how much they appreciate having the speed humps. This positive experience on Fourth Street has led several other streets to request similar traffic calming devices and the traffic commission is defining a policy for getting the approval of local residents for installing the devices. Likely the most significant calming device in the village has been the installation of the curb bump outs and the raised crosswalk on seventh st. As we all know, Seventh Street is the heart of Garden City. Unfortunately, given the increase in traffic village-wide, Seventh Street is also suffering from the increased number of cars. Seventh

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Street also likely deals with more pedestrian traffic than any the street in the village. Based on these factors, Creighton Manning suggested implementing two traffic calming features for Seventh Street. The curb bump outs narrow the road and in that fashion reduce traffic flow. They also provide a better way to identity the more promi-

nent feature, the raised crosswalk. This raised cross walk forces the driver to slow down in order to cross it thereby increasing the safety of pedestrians who use it. Combining both of these features greatly increases the safety of both drivers and pedestrians on Seventh Street. Larry Marciano Traffic Commission Member

Thunder Ring 7s dominate Franklin Square 20-7

Tyler Keeby (5), Emmett Walker (8) and Luke Donnelly (1) celebrating after their win. The Thunder Ring 7s defeated Franklin Square in their “Friday Night Lights” debut! Liam Calderone (15) led the charge with two thrilling touchdown runs and an interception. Henry Ofenloch (34) rumbled for the third touchdown, and Christian Fodera (19) sprinted for two extra points. Carter Coratti (88) & William Sessa (18) galloped for multiple long runs to setup the scoring, with Carter Coratti (88) also securing a fumble recovery.

The defense was spearheaded by defensive linemen Luke Donnelly (1), Tyler Keeby (5), Declan Ring (27) & Charlie Gehnrich (12) who wreaked havoc on the Warriors ability to run their plays. Dominic Donovan (11) and Luca Plati (21) contributed multiple tackles from their LB positions to support the Thunder cause. The Ring 7s look to make it 3 wins in a row with this weekend's final contest against Levittown at home in Garden City. Go Thunder!

The season, with back to back losses to teams ranked in the top 4, didn’t end the way the Thunder Hajarts wanted but it wasn’t for a lack of effort. Garden City battled the fourth ranked Seaford team on a beautiful Friday night. A touchdown run by Joey Sileo got Garden City on the board first. However Seaford, and their hurry up offense, quickly struck back and by halftime lead Garden City 13-7. The Garden City boys battled all game but it just wasn’t their day losing 20-7. Seventh ranked Garden City finished the regular season with a very

respectable 3-5 record, with all five losses coming against teams in the top 6. The Hajart 8s’ season will be extended one more week with a game against eighth ranked Mineola in what has been coined the “Old Country Road Bowl.” These two teams are no strangers to one another having played a regular season game last season and having a preseason scrimmage against each other this August. Come cheer on the Hajart 8s in their last game of the season, Sunday, 10:15 a.m. at Community Park.

Hajart 8s to play in the Old Country Road Bowl

Friday, November 3, 2023 The Garden City News

Honoring the Thunder (Stoller) 11, Spirit (Pink) Cheer team On October 22, the Stoller 11s played the last regular-season home game of their Thunder careers. Although the outcome of the game against East Rockaway was not as hoped, Community Park was still filled with exuberance, as both teams embraced Garden City traditions “one last time.” The game began with the Thunder exploding through the tear away banner to raucous cheers and the cheerleaders performed a dance and stunt routine at half time. For his tough play throughout the game, Owen Arneson was awarded the Thunder game belt. After the game, the football players continued the long-standing practice of presenting the cheerleaders with flowers to show their appreciation for their support. In this case, the moment was particularly heartfelt, as the Garden City Spirit (Pink) Cheer Team has been cheering for the Thunder (Stoller) 11s from day 1. The Thunder are scheduled to finish the regular season with an away game against Farmingdale on Sunday at Howitt Middle School, November 5. Kickoff is at noon. Go Thunder!! Go Spirit!!

Thanks to GC Spirit for a great season! The Thunder 9s (Reilly) finished their regular season with a hard fought 13-13 tie versus the Franklin Square Warriors at Community Park last Sunday. The team came out of the gate quickly in the first half behind tough blocking from the “HOGS,” Jason Zonneveldt, Jesse Frosch, Victor Lopez, Connor Reilly, Peter Rosenberg, JoJo Ordas and Charlie Galli, and the perfect execution of QBs Charlie Fuschillo and Ben Goettelmann. The Thunder

(Will Capparelli) and Lightning (Brooks Galli and Caleb Howald) running attack was also on full display keeping the Warrior Defense off balance. Howald and Capparelli both scored impressive TDs, and Connor Reilly found the end zone for his first PAT of the season. The Thunder “D” swarmed the speedy Warrior ball carriers, and went toe-to-toe with their larger opponents all morning. The Defensive Line was paced by Kian Durkan, Henry Crain,

This upgrade vastly improves Stowe guest experience by significantly increasing access to some of Stowe’s best intermediate terrain that has been underutilized; now, all those great blue square trails south of the Front Four are more accessible. This helps to spread skiers and riders out across the entire footprint of the mountain – relieving some pressure from the Quad and Gondola – and also creates great flow from the main base over to the Toll House area. This new lift also directly services Stowe’s

expanded Adventure Zones, which are becoming more and more popular as an introduction to tree skiing for families and first-timers. Also, this lift line has good protection from the wind, which should keep service flowing on those blustery New England days.

Hunter Mountain, NY

Hunter Mountain, only a 2 ½-hour drive from New York City through the breathtaking northern Catskill Mountains, boasts some of the most thrilling terrain in the East, but with a stateof-the-art learning center and dedicated children’s area, Hunter has been a gateway to winter sports for generations of skiers and snowboarders. Slopeside accommodation is available at The Kaatskill Mountain Club, where guests are hosted with a unique blend of luxury, comfort and charm. And now, Hunter is poised to benefit from Vail Resorts’ Epic Lift Upgrades initiative: Hunter Mountain plans to replace the 4-person fixed-grip Broadway lift with a state-of-the-art 6-person, high-speed lift and relocate the existing Broadway lift to replace the 2-person fixed-grip E lift, to substantially improve uphill capacity and access to key terrain. Both projects, targeted for the 2024/25 season, are subject to approvals.

2023/24 Epic Lift Upgrades Coast-to-Coast

Over the past two seasons, 25 new or upgraded gondolas and chairlifts have been introduced across Vail Resorts, and some $185 million in investments is in store for the 2023/24 season. This season, five resorts will see new chairlifts (four of them high-speed), plus exciting new lift-served terrain at Keystone. The projects will increase uphill capacity, giving guests more time to learn new skills, explore new terrain, and discover

Fall Landscaper Questions BY JEFF RUGG Q: My landscaper told me a couple of things that I don’t understand. I think he is just trying to make some money. Is this a good time to fertilize a bluegrass lawn? Is this a good time to apply weed controls in the lawn or flower bed? How low should my lawn be mowed at the end of the year? A: Your landscaper might be right if he is using the right fertilizer and applying it at the right time. A late fall fertilization of water-soluble nitrogen

(not slow release) is good for northern lawn grasses. This could be October or November, depending on how far north you are. If the grass is still green, it is photosynthesizing, and the food produced will be stored in the crown and roots of the plant. The fertilizer will boost the food production. These food reserves will help the plants survive the winter and then they will help the plant grow at the right rate in the early spring. Applying fertilizer in the early spring can be harmful to lawn grass because it causes the plants to grow leaves at the expense of roots.

Early fertilization forces the lawn to grow leaves that need to be mowed but fall fertilization doesn’t do that. It doesn’t cause the grass leaves to grow now or in too early in spring. The best weed control begins with preventing weeds from growing. A healthy, dense lawn and mulched flower beds reduce the need for herbicides. There are two main groups of weeds. The ones that sprout in the spring and the ones that sprout in the fall. A pre-emergent herbicide stops the seeds Continued on page 5

new peaks. Among the improvements: Keystone Resort, guests will have lift access to Keystone’s high alpine, thanks to the installation of a brandnew, high-speed, 6-passenger chairlift in Bergman Bowl and 550 acres of intermediate-and-above-level high alpine terrain, including 16 new trails in Bergman and Erickson Bowls. Breckenridge continues the transformation of the Peak 8 Base Area with the upgrade of 5-Chair to a new, highspeed quad – the FIVE SuperChair. With this lift upgrade, all four chairlifts that service Peak 8 will now be high-speed to assist improved flow and circulation out of the resort’s most popular base area, enhancing the beginner and children’s experience. The new investments will provide a clear path to progression on Peak 8, with Rip’s Ride servicing learning and beginner terrain, FIVE SuperChair servicing beginner and intermediate terrain, and the Colorado and Rocky Mountain SuperChairs servicing intermediate and advanced terrain. Whistler Blackcomb’s four-person high-speed Fitzsimmons Express will be replaced with a high-speed, 8-person chairlift – the first of its kind across Vail Resorts’ North American resorts. The upgrade will help reduce lift line wait times out of the base at Skier’s Plaza in Whistler Village, increasing uphill capacity and improving circulation in the mid-mountain area.

The mentor with a dreamcatcher BY CLAIRE LYNCH Being retired but working part-time I guess that makes me semi-retired. It’s a chance to get out there in the world and keep engaging which is what the experts say people should do if they can because staying active is always a good thing. On a lunch break I met up with my old high school friends Karen and Monica and we chatted while waiting for our food to appear. We got onto the subject of remember such and such a teacher in high school? She was great. Or he was great. Karen said that her French teacher, Mrs. Thompson, had a good way of explaining words and sentences in French and also the French culture. The way she talked about Paris - about city events and things in the rural parts of the country - piqued her interest. It made Karen want to go see the country. So she did. Right after college graduation Karen and her friend, Amanda, packed their bags and flew from New York to Paris. After exploring the “city of lights” so named because at the beginning of the nineteenth century Paris became the first city in Europe to use gas lighting to illuminate its streets - they traveled to Brittany and Marseilles. Just to be daring, they stood on the border of France and Italy. Then they stood on the border of France and Switzerland dramatically adding that now they could say they had been to France, Italy and Switzerland. Karen said Mrs. Thompson had been a mentor and a role model in so many ways by encouraging her to go to college and pursue her dream of becoming an art teacher. Plus Mrs. Thompson didn’t just talk about France in a two-dimensional way but with her vivid descriptions, Mrs. Thompson had an exciting way of making so many aspects of the French culture come to life. “Probably

because she had been there 15 times,” Karen added. “I didn’t want to become a French teacher but she helped me figure out what I wanted to do as a career.” My friend Monica said that in high school Mr. Hopkins, the band director, was inspiring to her. Not only was his love of music contagious but he explained how to read music and play together as a group in a way that seemed effortless. Monica said, “He was so enthusiastic about music and what I could teach us plus he said that we kids could reach for our dreams and shoot for the stars. So I did.” Monica went to medical school and became a physician then married and had two children of her own. When my turn came I said that my mentor or role model in high school was my English teacher. Mrs. Smith had her master’s degree in English and knew so many opening lines of famous books and plays that she could recite them by heart. Shakespeare, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Emily Dickinson, you name it. Turns out she was from New Mexico but after graduating from college she wanted to explore the world so she did. After backpacking with a friend through Europe she met her future husband in New York and they settled on Long Island where they raised their three kids. Mrs. Smith wasn’t preachy or a showoff about all she knew and had accomplished, she simply lived and breathed reading, writing and literature. She too had a way of inspiring me to learn more and I found out later that many of my classmates felt the same way. Mrs. Smith would tell us about her adventures in college and graduate school and I found it fascinating. Sometimes after class in high school I’d ask Mrs. Smith her opinion about certain books or authors and she always explained the pros and cons of each plus she answered my questions. Although I became a business major in college,

as a sophomore I switched my major to English. Several times Mrs. Smith told us about her childhood in New Mexico and inevitably the topic of dreamcatchers came up. In high school I wasn’t familiar with them but Mrs. Smith described dreamcatchers. One day she brought a dreamcatcher to school so we could all see what she was talking about. The dreamcatcher she held up was large - 12 inches long, it was tan and brown, had a circle, was made of feathers and beads, and was attractively designed. I was delighted to see that when Mrs. Smith held up the dreamcatcher, the sun glinted and bounced off the beads. Fascinated by the dreamcatcher, my classmates and I wanted to know more about its origins. Explaining that the Native American Indians are credited with designing dreamcatchers, Mrs. Smith said the Ojibwe tribe traditionally used them as talismans. Their purpose was to protect sleepers, especially children, from bad dreams, nightmares and evil spirits. Native Americans believed that at night

the air was filled with dreams, both good and bad. I hadn’t seen any dreamcatchers when I shopped on Long Island as a kid but a few years later when my family and I flew to Phoenix, I kept my eyes out for dreamcatchers. If any part of the U.S. would have them, it would be the Southwest. Sure enough when we shopped at a place outside the city, I spotted a display of dreamcatchers and made a beeline for them. Chatting with the cashier for a few minutes about dreamcatchers, he said most of the ones in his shop are handmade by locals. I got a few to pack in my suitcase and bring home for my friends and relatives. I’ve since learned that dreamcatchers come in various colors and sizes. People have different reasons for displaying them in their homes. Placing a colorful dreamcatcher in my living room, visitors always seemed to comment on it. It’s a conversation piece, that’s for sure, so I tell them how Mrs. Smith explained dreamcatchers to us kids so many years ago. It’s time for me to get another one!

Mailbag Hodgepodge BY TOM MARGENAU I usually like to have a theme to my columns. For example, I might write a column that centers on widow’s benefits. Or another column might explain the Social Security disability program. But today, I’m just going to reach into my mailbag (well, actually I’m opening up my email folder) and I’m just going to answer random questions. Q: I was planning to start my Social Security benefits when I reach my full retirement age in November 2023. But a friend told me I could collect up to six months in retroactive benefits. I’ve done the math and even though I would get as slightly smaller monthly rate, the big back pay check I’ll get more than makes up for that. So how do I set this up? A: Sorry, but you won’t be able to set anything up -- as far as retroactive benefits. Why? Because the law doesn’t allow the payment of retroactive benefits before your full retirement age. And as long as I’m on the topic of retroactivity, I’m always puzzled by those who choose that option after reaching full retirement age. Here is an example. Let’s say Alice, whose full retirement age is 66, was going to start her Social Security at age 70 in October 2023. But when she filed for benefits, she learned she could take the option of up to 6 months in retroactive benefits. So, she jumped at the chance to get that big retroactive check, even though it would mean a slightly smaller ongoing monthly benefit rate. In effect, it would be as if Alice chose April 2023 (six months before October) as her starting month. Of course, Alice can do whatever she wants. So why am I puzzled? Well, if Alice wanted April to be her starting month, why didn’t she file for benefits in April? Why did she let the government hang on to her money for 6 months, and then file for those benefits in October and get the money back -- without interest? Oh well, I guess it’s just the idea of that big retroactive check that is so tempting. But to repeat the point I made at the start of this answer: no retroactive benefits can be paid prior to your full retirement age. Q: I am planning to file for my Social Security in December, when I reach my full retirement age. My 67-year-old wife has been getting her own, and much smaller, Social Security benefit since she was 62. She will be due a little extra money in spousal benefits on my account. In a prior column, you said that a guy has to be getting benefits before his wife can file on his record. So, does that mean I have to wait until I have been getting a Social Security check for a month or two before my wife can file for spousal benefits? A: No, it doesn’t mean that. Your

wife can file for spousal benefits at the very same time that you file for your retirement benefits. In the prior column you mentioned, I think I was answering a guy who asked this question. “My wife is turning 62 and is filing for her Social Security. I plan to wait until I turn 70 in a few years before I file for mine. Can she file for spousal benefits on my record now?” And I told him no. I said she can’t get anything on your record until you are getting benefits yourself. And by saying that I was just trying to tell him that his wife can’t get anything on his record until he is eligible for benefits himself. I didn’t mean to imply that he had to have an actual Social Security check in his hand before she could file on his account. Q: I was planning to file for Social Security in March 2024. But I also want to get the benefits of the 2024 cost-of-living increase of 3.2%. Do I have to be getting benefits in 2023 in order to get the 2024 COLA increase? A: No. You’ll get the 2024 COLA no matter when you file for benefits. If you were getting benefits in 2023, you’d get the COLA increase in January 2024. If you don’t file for benefits until sometime in 2024, the 3.2% increase will just be figured into your benefit computation formula. Q: All of my older friends are getting widow’s benefits. I also am a widow. But I don’t get any of my husband’s Social Security because my own benefit is more than his was. This doesn’t seem fair. A: Well, the law has always said that when you are potentially due benefits from two different Social Security accounts, you get the one the pays the higher rate. Your career earnings must have been higher than your husband’s because your Social Security benefit was higher than his was. Perhaps you are advocating that you should get both your own Social Security benefit plus a widow’s benefit on your husband’s account. I’ve heard this proposal made many times over the years. But I’ve always responded with this point. If you should be allowed to get benefits on two accounts, why shouldn’t everyone? For example, should I be allowed to get my own Social Security benefit plus a husband’s benefit on my wife’s record? And then for that matter, should my wife get her own Social Security benefit plus a wife’s benefit on my record? Also, we have a friend who is a fairly well-to-do widower who gets a very generous Social Security retirement benefit. Should he be allowed to get that and also receive a widower’s benefit on his deceased wife’s account? My goodness. If Social Security had always paid these double benefits to everyone, the system would have gone belly up many years ago! One final point to help other readers understand the rules. When I said you

get the benefit that pays the higher rate if you are due benefits on two accounts, a better way to phrase that would be to say you get an amount equal to the higher benefit. For example, if one of your friends was due $1,200 on her own account and $2,000 in widow’s benefits, she would be paid her own $1,200 retirement benefit and then she would get $800 in widow’s benefits to take her total benefits up to her husband’s $2,000 rate. She ends up getting one monthly check for $2,000 and probably doesn’t even realize that on the Social Security

Administration’s books, it’s coming off of two accounts. If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has two books with all the answers. One is called “Social Security -- Simple and Smart: 10 Easy-to-Understand Fact Sheets That Will Answer All Your Questions About Social Security.” The other is “Social Security: 100 Myths and 100 Facts.” You can find the books at Amazon.com or other book outlets.

Who are the outside purchasers of US real estate? BY PHILIP A. RAICES We still have the largest economy on the globe and still the Promised Land for those immigrants who desire to come here legally, whether for education, jobs or just to relocate permanently. However, we also have a very serious illegal immigration problem and it is not being addressed in the proper fashion as both parties are at loggerheads in how to resolve and deal with the issues. Those who are able to emigrate here see the vast array of possibilities and opportunities that are available that they obviously cannot grasp or attain sufficiently in their own countries. Our doors seem to be always open for those who have the money and capabilities to invest in a vast pool of quality real estate, whether they are residential or commercial. The 2023 Profile of International Transactions in U.S. Residential Real Estate was performed by the National Association of Realtors (1.4 million brokers and agents). The survey focused on Realtor transactions with international clients who bought and sold U.S. residential properties between April 2022 and March 2023. The compilation of this information was derived from an online survey from April 3 to May 8, 2023. This survey was sent out arbitrarily to 150,000 selected Realtors and to members of local associations who also conducted their own surveys of foreign buyers. It was created by NAR by doing its best to keep a balance of the actual numbers of its members by each state as of May 2023. The results came from 7,425 Realtor (a “Realtor” was anyone who was part of a local real estate board in good standing) responses of which 951 reported completing

a transaction with an international purchaser. Attributes of those international clients were based on the most recently closed transactions of those responding over that 12-month time span. There were 2 types of international buyers: • Non-residential foreigners e.g. non-U.S. citizens with permanent residences outside of the U.S. • Resident foreigners e.g. non U.S. citizens who are recent immigrants who were less than 2 years at the time of the sale); or non-immigrant visa holders who had resided for more than 6 months in the U.S. for professional, educational, or other reasons. The study is quite long and there is not enough space in this column to provide all the details; so I will highlight the most crucial statistics of what I believe are the most important: • There was a 53.3 billion dollar volume of foreign buyer residential purchases during April 2022-March 2023. This was 2.3% of the 2.3 trillion of the total dollar of existing home sales. • 84,600 foreign buyer home purchases (1.8% of 4.73 million existing-home sales) • 51%-foreign Buyers who resided in the U.S. (recent immigrants: < 2 years at time of sale or non-immigrant visa holders • $396,400-Median purchase price(compared to $384,200 for all U.S. existing homes sold) • 42% of foreign buyers paid cash

(compared to 26% among all existing home buyers • 50 foreign buyers who bought for a vacation home, rental, or both (compared to 16% of all existing buyers) In the past, Canada was always the number one country whose people had always put their money into U.S. real estate. Over the years there have been some drastic changes. When the survey was completed the information was analyzed and the following showed who purchased the most residential property: • Chinese buyers made up 13% ($13.6 billion) • Mexico (11% of foreign buyers, 4.2 billion) • Canada (10% of foreign buyers, $6.6 billion) • India (7% of foreign buyers, $3.4 billion) • Colombia (3% of foreign buyers, $0.9 billion) The top destinations were as follows: • Florida (23%) • California (12%) • Texas (12%) • North Carolina (4%) • Arizona (4%) So you can see that foreign purchasers were and are a very integral part of our real estate economy. Besides those purchases, they also buy other items, like refrigerators, stoves, dishwashers, etc. that add to our overall economic activity. Foreigners know the value of owning residential property in the U.S. and the freedoms that are enjoyed

here without government interference in their daily lives. They are able to start businesses here with the least amount of hassle and delays. Our legal immigration and foreign nationals are a multifaceted group and owning residential real estate in the U.S. is coveted as an extremely valuable asset in creating and expanding their wealth. It is a safety net in the challenging and tumultuous world that we live in. Philip A. Raices is the owner/Broker of Turn Key Real Estate at 3 Grace Ave Suite 180 in Great Neck.

Fall Landscaper Questions Continued from page 2 from growing. Applying a pre-emergent now will stop the fall weeds from sprouting and becoming big weeds next spring. Once weeds have germinated applying mulch is not as useful and the next best thing is hand pulling young weeds before the roots become established. A hoe can be used on larger areas but be sure not to just move the weeds around

with the hoe. If there are larger perennial weeds, then a fall application of an herbicide can be beneficial. Perennial flowers and weeds transfer carbohydrates into the storage root, bulb, or stem tissue. If herbicides are applied, they transfer them to the storage area too. This helps kill hard to kill weeds. If the weeds are already dormant the weed killers won’t work, but if the temperatures are still above about 50 degrees, then follow the

weed control directions and apply them soon. Some people believe that lawns should be left tall in the fall and others believe they should be mowed short. If the lawn is otherwise healthy, it probably doesn’t matter too much either way. Long grass leaves may insulate the grass plant crown, but the leaves may become matted down and allow disease organisms to grow under the snow. Grass mowed very short exposes the

crown to the extreme cold and the mower blades may even damage the crown during the low mowing. So just mowing at the proper height all year long is probably best. Mow bluegrass between 2-3 inches, tall fescue 2.5-3.5, and Bermuda grass 1-2 inches tall. Email questions to Jeff Rugg at info@ greenerview.com.COPYRIGHT 2023 JEFF RUGG DISTRIBUTED BY CREATORS

Readers Weigh in With Super Fun Ways to Save Time and Money BY MARY HUNT Today, I’m reaching into my virtual mailbag, pulling out a handful of great reader tips, Whether any of these tips apply to you and your situation or not, just reading them can’t help but get you into frugal mode, looking for every way, big or small, to save time and money. MORE SPONGE I discovered that my kitchen sponges were only getting used around the edges. I first cut off the used edges to make new edges, then I decided to cut the sponges into thirds when they’re new. Much more efficient! -- Sue PERFECTLY DRESSED If you are taking salad for lunch, pour the amount of dressing you will need into the bottom corner of a small plastic bag. Put a twist tie above the dressing and cut off the rest of the bag. When you are ready to eat, just snip off the corner and squeeze the dressing into your salad. -- Kristine MINI-SIZE PORTIONS My toddler eats only a small portion of a box of macaroni and cheese. Leftover mac and cheese is never a hit, and the individual packs are too pricy. Instead, I buy the boxes when they are on sale, open every box and store the cheese powder and noodles in separate jars. Now, I can prepare individual servings

as needed. I use 1/3 cup of dry noodles and 1 heaping tablespoon each of cheese powder, butter and milk. -- Michel DENTURED TOILET To get rid of mineral rings in the toilet, put some warm water in the toilet bowl and add one or two denture tablets. Check its progress in 30 minutes. The toilet should be sparkling clean. -- Amy CLOSET DOOR ORGANIZER I hang a shoe bag on the inside of my coat closet door near the front of my house. In it, my family members store their gloves, scarves, sunglasses and even the dog’s leash for a quick and organized morning departure. -- Anonymous WATER SAVER I save water by washing my car using the dew in the early morning. The condensation on my car plus the suds on my sponge do the trick. Only after the scrubdown do I turn on the hose for a quick rinse. -- Helen QUICK STAIN TREATMENT To get a dark stain out of whites and light-colored clothing, I dip a Q-tip in hydrogen peroxide and apply it to the spot. I let it work overnight and it bleaches the stain without removing color. -- Rachel NEAT, TIDY FRIDGE I just bought a new refrigerator and I didn’t want the brand-new shelves to get dirty. When I store a bottle that tends to get messy, I put a sheet of plastic wrap

down as a shelf liner. It works beautifully, and because it clings to the shelf is easy to remove while the fridge stays neat and tidy. -- Cathy GROCERY TOTES I have accumulated many cloth tote bags over the years from different seminars I’ve attended or book clubs I’ve joined. Instead of purchasing reusable cloth bags for groceries, I use my tote bags instead. They are machine-washable and I can save money and the environment by recycling them. -- Cindy CUTE CLIPS Several years ago, I bought a package of plastic clothespins to use in the kitchen. I bought colors that match my decor, and I use them for reclosing plastic bread bags, chip bags, sugar bags and others. They even work in the freezer and crisper, too. -- Jean PUMP IT I save on expenses by putting dish soap, body wash, shampoo and liquid soap of all kinds in pump containers. I find that I use much less soap for the same job done when it is in a dispenser. Now I buy soaps and body wash much less often. -- Tess CLEANS ITSELF To avoid cleaning a roller pan when I paint, I slip it into a large plastic department store bag and pour the paint onto the bag over the pan. After painting, I

simply turn the bag inside out and discard it. Then, I am left with a clean roller pan.

Vitamin C for Your Muscles BY CHARLYN FARGO Those of us over 30 lose approximately 3% to 8% of our skeletal muscle mass each decade, and more over the age of 60. That’s a bit shocking, isn’t it? That muscle loss can lead to frailty, type 2 diabetes, physical disability and even mortality. But the good news is we can turn that around. Researchers in the U.K. found that a simple task of eating vitamin C-rich foods, such as citrus, berries and vegetables, can turn that muscle loss around. Simply put, vitamin C protects skeletal muscle during aging. The research was reported in the October 2020 issue of The Journal of Nutrition, analyzing data of vitamin C intakes from a seven-day food diary of more than 13,000 men and women (ages 42-82) in the European Prospective Investigation into

Cancer and Nutrition. Researchers also looked at the vitamin C in their blood. The results showed that those with the highest amounts of vitamin C had the greatest skeletal muscle mass. And conversely, those with the lowest amounts of vitamin C intake and blood levels had the lowest skeletal muscle mass. The positive association between dietary and plasma vitamin C and muscle mass was found in both men and women. The greatest contributions of different food groups to the daily vitamin C intake were from fruits, vegetables, fruit juices and potatoes, respectively. Fruits consumed included apples, apricots, avocado, bananas, berries, blueberries, citrus, figs/dates, grapes, melon, mixed fruits, peaches, nectarines, pears and plums. Vegetables included herbs, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, cucumber, green beans, peas and tomatoes.

Researchers wrote that to their knowledge, this was “the first study assessing the relation of dietary and circulating vitamin C with the sarcopenic risk factor of loss of skeletal muscle mass in a large UK cohort of both men and women of middle and older age.” The researchers also referenced one study showing that “muscle atrophy was reversed by reintroduction of vitamin C into the diet.” The bottom line? Fruits and vegetables high in vitamin C are important to include in your daily diet, especially if you’re over 30. Q AND A Q: How can I reduce the amount of sodium in my diet? A: A teaspoon of salt has about 2,300 milligrams of sodium. Health officials recommend between 1,500 and 2,300 milligrams a day of sodium. Most of us get far

more than that amount. Fast food, restaurant food, processed foods such as bacon, ham, deli meat and sausage, chips, pickles and even ketchup all contain salt. The best way to lower your sodium is to eat more fresh foods, such as fruits and vegetables, which are naturally low in sodium. And remember: Fresh meat has less sodium than processed meat. Be sure to taste your food before using the salt shaker. Rinsing canned foods, such as beans, vegetables and tuna, before eating can reduce the sodium. You can also buy no salt added or reduced sodium versions.

By Jove, It’s Jupiter! BY DENNIS MAMMANA Week of Nov. 5-11, 2023 What is that bright light glowing low in the east just after dark? An airplane? The International Space Station? A UFO? The answer is none of the above. It’s the planet Jupiter! Jupiter has returned to our evening sky after many months of absence, outshining everything else except the moon. That’s because it now lies near its opposition point and, as the term implies, the planet appears opposite in the sky from the sun. In other words, not long after you see the sun set in the west, you’ll see Jupiter rise in the east. Of course, Jupiter is always fun to view through a telescope, but during the month or two around its opposition, the planet lies closest to the Earth and therefore appears significantly larger through an eyepiece. This makes it even easier to see many of its famous features shown in photographs. The largest planet of our solar system, Jupiter boasts a diameter more than 11 times that of the Earth. It has no surface on which to stand, just an atmosphere of thick, swirling gases and clouds. And because this immense gaseous world rotates on its axis in less than 10 hours, all of its atmospheric weather systems are stretched into parallel cloud bands that cross its face. But that’s not all. Jupiter is surrounded by a huge family of moons. When I was in elementary school, I remember learning that Jupiter had nine moons orbiting nearby. The thought of so many moons seemed crazy! Today, however, modern telescopic and spacecraft observations have shown us that between 80 and 95 moons orbit the planet, and

we’re pretty sure that there are thousands of smaller moons that we haven’t yet detected. If I had been born a few centuries earlier, I would have learned that Jupiter had only four moons. That’s what the Italian astronomer Galileo found in January 1610 when he turned his small telescope toward the planet. He saw four bright “bambino stars” nearby and, to his surprise, noticed that they seemed to change their positions from night to night. It was only after watching them for a few weeks that he figured out what was going on. These were moons orbiting the planet! Today we know these as the Galilean moons: Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto. What’s most fascinating to me about Jupiter, and what makes it my favorite planet to view, is that with just a small backyard telescope, we can see its active atmospheric cloud bands and even the four Galilean moons. We now have plenty of time to check it out, because Jupiter will appear in our evening sky throughout the winter months. To identify the moons’ names, just do an internet search for “Jupiter moons apps” and you’ll find some programs to label them all right on your smartphone. And if the moons don’t match precisely with the illustration here, it may be because your telescope inverts or reverses images differently. If you don’t have a telescope, don’t worry. Your local amateur astronomy club, observatory or science museum does, and they frequently offer free “star parties” during which you can enjoy Jupiter all winter long.

You can see these moons with just a backyard telescope this week

Arrested Development BY TRACY BECKERMAN Apparently, there is a warrant out for my arrest. I’m not sure exactly what it is that I did wrong, but according to the voicemail I got, I had 24 hours to call a certain phone number or the local police were going to come arrest me. Then the voice on the other end of the line wished me a nice day. I don’t know how you’re supposed to have a nice day when someone tells you you’re about to go to jail, but I figured they were just trying to be polite. Although I was pretty sure this was some kind of phishing scam (since they never mentioned my name or what it was that I’d done), I thought I’d check with my friends to see if they had received the same phone call. They had not. So, either I was just the first of my friends to get hit with this scam, or there really was a warrant out for my arrest.

Still, I was pretty sure that if the police wanted to arrest you, they wouldn’t have some lady call you and let you know it was going to happen. I think if they are going to arrest you, they come to your door unannounced, with a warrant, and then they cuff you and take you in. And nobody wishes you a nice day. Out of curiosity, I checked with a friend who was a former police officer about this, and he said he’d never called anyone before he arrested them -- but he did slam the bars behind a really bad guy, laugh, and wish him a nice day. But I don’t think he meant it. It occurred to me that calling you and telling you you’re going to be arrested is: a) kind of a tip-off that you’re going to get arrested, and b) the kind of news that would make most sane people immediately buy a plane ticket to Cuba. Since the number of arrests would probably dip dramatically if the alleged criminal got a forewarning that the police were coming for him, I final-

ly and definitively decided this whole thing must be a scam. Still, on the off-off chance that this might be a real thing, I thought I should consider all the things I’d done that might get me in trouble. First, I recalled I had left the top off the toothpaste that morning AND squeezed from the middle. It was possible my husband had called this infraction into the police, although I’m pretty sure, while annoying, it didn’t break any actual laws. Next, I remembered that I’d burnt the steaks on the grill last night. Again, I didn’t actually break any laws, but I think my family was pretty unhappy about having charred hockey pucks for dinner. Finally, I remembered that I had made my own parking spot at the supermarket when I was buying the meat I would burn at dinner because there were no actual spots available. This time I think I did actually break the law.

I wondered if someone had reported me for wanton parking space consumption. Was that a real thing? Was this something that could actually get me arrested? I started to break out in a sweat. Then I thought for a minute more and decided that at most, I might get a parking ticket for parking in a not-a-parking spot and that it probably would not lead to me being arrested. Confident that the whole thing was a bunch of baloney, I deleted the voicemail. Then I went and put the cap back on the toothpaste, just to be sure.

Call 294.8900 Give a beloved side dish a fresh new taste

Irresistible Basil Mashed Potatoes A typical Thanksgiving dinner table is loaded with familiar foods. Turkey, of course, takes center stage, but side dishes also garner their fair share of attention during Thanksgiving dinner. Hosts don’t have much room to experiment when preparing turkey for Thanksgiving dinner. Though turkey can be roasted, slow cooked, smoked, or even fried, recipes for seasoning the bird are likely to feature similar ingredients. Hosts have much more leeway when it comes to side dishes. New and bold flavors can add a little something special to side dishes this Thanksgiving, and guests might appreciate a break from the norm. That’s just what this recipe for “Irresistible Basil Mashed Potatoes” from Marlena Spieler’s “Yummy Potatoes” (Chronicle Books) provides. The fresh basil can add some unique flavor to a beloved side dish.

Serves 4 to 6 2 pounds floury, baking-type potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks Salt 1.) Place the potatoes in a saucepan and fill with water to cover. Add a big pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook, covered, for about 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are just tender. Drain, return to the heat and shake for a few minutes to dry them out; turn off the heat, cover the pan and keep warm. 2.) Meanwhile, blanch the basil. Plunge it into a saucepan of boiling water, cook a moment or two until the leaves

2 to 3 cups fresh basil leaves of any type (2 to 3 ounces — a nice big bunch) 2 cups heavy (whipping) cream or half-and-half 4 tablespoons butter Black pepper

wilt and slightly change color and lift out of the pot using a slotted spoon, then plunge into a bowl of ice water. Leave for about five minutes or until it turns brightly colored, then lift from the ice water. 3.) Heat the cream in a saucepan until bubbles form around the edge of the pan. 4.) Squeeze the basil in your hands gently to rid it of excess water from cooking. Place in a food processor and whirl to

purée. Slowly pour the hot cream into this puréed basil and whirl until it forms a fragrant, pale green cream. 5.) Coarsely mash the potatoes with a masher, then add the basil cream and mash it in; work in the butter, and season to taste with salt and pepper. If you’re serving duck or lamb, serve the potatoes with a drizzle of the port reduction around the edge.

EAB reviews waste-to-energy plant operations

From page 26 A cooling tower with a heat exchanger cools steam back to liquid. Bailey said since Covanta is generating electricity it’s turning water into steam and the cooling tower recycles the steam back into liquid. There is also a baghouse for particulate removal, as each of Covanta’s three boilers have 1,056 bags.

Emissions Controls Noted

The EAB, Mayor Carter Flanagan and other village residents who visited got to see the plant’s Continuous Emissions Monitoring System, or CEMS, up close. The data and information it records is available to the public. Mayor Carter Flanagan’s pictures from the facility tour included shots of the control room and screens. Statistics for Covanta’s total “EfW” or energy-from-waste output, production of electricity from municipal solid waste,

was noted during the October meeting of Garden City’s EAB. Covanta uses 10% of the energy the waste it processes will generate and the other 90% “goes out on the grid” to PSEG Long Island. The Hempstead location nearby which takes the village’s waste generates 72 megawatts; the Huntington Covanta facility generates 24 megawatts; the Babylon facility generates 17 megawatts and the MacArthur facility generates 12 megawatts.

PROFESSIONAL GUIDE

Bailey explained that Covanta does not take radioactive waste and they check all incoming trucks for radioactivity. They also will not accept medical waste, hazardous waste, construction and demolition debris and any bulky items or appliances like dishwashing machines or refrigerators. Some of those items require special licenses to deal with disposal or electronic recycling and the Covanta Hempstead plant doesn’t have those licenses.

Thunder Sampson 8s beat Farmingdale, finish season 6-2

Post season celebration for the 2023 Thunder Sampson 8s. On Sunday October 29, at Howitt Middle School in Farmingdale, it was déjà vu all over again for the Thunder Sampson 8s. A year to the day earlier, this team completed their inaugural season with a win over Farmingdale on the same field to end the 2022 season 4-3-1. That game saw Liam Maher (#9) score twice in the victory, and in a similar game a year later, which saw Maher score twice again, the Thunder Sampson 8s won once more, the final score was 20-7, to end their season 6-2. Dressed in their away whites, each Thunder play donned a green armband in a sign of solidarity and respect for what the Farmingdale community had endured earlier in the fall. The gameday captains, Ryan Donelan (#5), Leo Herrera (#19), Sully Flannery (#26), Christin Miuta (#46), Oliver Chabot (#50) and Leonidas Lagonikos (#51), met the Daler squad at center field. While they lost the coin toss, the Thunder Sampson 8s found themselves in known territory as they started the game on offense. And with a very familiar feel, the opening drive

Sacked!!!

started with quarterback Mikey Hook (#87) running the ball for a 20-yard gain and ended four plays later as Jack Williamson (#27) ran the power sweep to the right side of the endzone for the early touchdown, with Maher converting the point after. On their first drive of the game, the Dalers powered the ball up the middle. Faced with 3rd down, they lined up and tried to execute the Farmingdale version of the “Brotherly Shove”. But the Garden City defensive line wasn’t being shoved around on this early afternoon, as Brooks Mathers (#74) fought through the scrum and sacked the Daler quarterback forcing the 4th down punt. With the ball back in their possession, the Thunder Sampson 8s called the same play that yielded a touchdown to end their first drive, but this time Ryan Williamson (#44) found himself with the ball, rumbling and stumbling to the end zone for the score. First year player Timmy Ahern (#20) attempted the point after but was stopped by the Dalers’ D.

The defense steps up and makes a stop: #9 Maher, #19 Herrara, #74 Mathers, #51 Lagonikos and #13 Sampson.

Ryan Donelan #5 taking off into the open lane.

After some back and forth on both sides of the ball, Farmingdale was able to march down the field and find 7 points in the Garden City endzone. With the ball for the final possession of, and on what would be the last play of the half, Mikey Hook kept the football with the outside left sweep, breaking the plain for the touchdown, with Maher converting his second PAT. The Dalers started on offense to open the second half. And as they began to weave together a drive, Owen Sampson (#13) broke through the line and was able to take down the running back after the exchange for a loss of yards and another 4th down punt. After experiencing their own 3 and out, Thunder Sampson 8s were back to work on the defensive side of the ball. And as this group of players proved all season long, just when their opponent thinks they have some form of O brewing, they don’t. The next four plays in which the Dalers had the ball, Lagonikos made key stops with help from Christopher Cendan (#30), Flannery and Hook; as one of the Daler backs evaded a tackle or two and saw the open field, he was met with a face full of turf as Donelan wrapped him at the knees forcing the down; and the explanation mark on how this defense played all season, the next three plays saw Thomas Scarantino (#38) and Henry Haunss (#1) teaming up for tackles, punctuated by the gang tackling of Sampson, Ahern, both Williamsons and the grit of Jack Hincker (#7) and Herrara. After a stint on offense, the Thunder Sampson 8s found themselves back on defense. With the clock winding down (tick, tick, tick, tick), and the Dalers looking from some spark, Wesley Depeiza (#18), who primarily plays O line, was tapped on the shoulder to make a stop and create chaos, and he certainly executed on those orders, as

the Farmingdale offensive line struggled to stop “Big Wes”. Throughout the second half, the Thunder continued to get the ball to Flannery and Donelan in the running back slot. The sideline kept changing the personnel to keep Farmingdale guessing as Lachlan Hulla (#84), Anthony “AJ” Oliveri (#15), Chabot, and Miuta worked into the offensive line, next to main stay center, Andrew Saloy (#22), all doing the uncelebrated, hard work that helps win games. Farmingdale had possession and drove the ball for what would be the final series of the game, and while Garden City gave up some yards, they were not giving up the score, even though it wouldn’t change the outcome of the game. On the final play of the game, a botched quarterback running back exchange resulted in a Thunder recovery of a fumble. And as the last seconds of the game clock expired, the regular season for the Thunder Sampson 8s concluded with a 20-7 win over and at Farmingdale… déjà vu all over again. At the conclusion of the game, it was unclear if this would be last game of the 2023 season for this group of Thunder players as the playoffs loom, but the Thunder Sampson 8s did their job, putting themselves in the best possible position to qualify for postseason play. And what shouldn’t be lost in all of this, is that on October 1, after taking a gut-wrenching loss to the Village’s neighboring rival Hempstead, Head Coach Dan Sampson, in his post-game comments, predicted this squad would not lose another game for the rest of the 2023 season and they would finish 6-2. While it was déjà vu all over again to end the season, mystique and aura were in play to get the Thunder Sampson 8s to their endgame of a 6-2 record.

Varsity Football secures 8th win, enters playoffs undefeated

QB Delcan Wuchte (17), Leo Votruba (28), Patrick McCormack (57) and Josh Cohen (74). The Garden City High School varsity football team traveled to Bellmore on Saturday, October 28, looking to wrap up its regular season with a win against the 2-5 Mepham Pirates. The Trojans were victorious in their previous seven conference games, including three on the road. Cooper Kraus returned the opening kickoff 31 yards to give the offense great field position on their own 41-yard line. Running back Aidan Considine started the rushing attack with a 7-yard gain around the left side behind two pulling linemen, right guard Owen Holtzman and right tackle Jack Alkin. Two plays later, quarterback Carson Kraus tossed the ball back to Michael Berkery, who followed Considine and running back Blake Cascadden to the left before cutting up field. Center Brendan Bohn, left guard Matt Reilly, and tight end Brady Karol made key blocks at the line of

scrimmage and Andrew Schlipf took care of the defensive back. Berkery made a couple of would-be tacklers miss on the way to the end zone and gave the Trojans a 6-0 lead with 10:19 left in the first quarter. Following a perfect snap from long snapper Jake Schlipf to holder Cooper Kraus, kicker Christopher Desiderio added the extra point, the first of seven. Owen Wuchte and James Ullrich stopped the returner on the Pirates’ 29-yard line. Linebacker Matthew Kephart, safety Matthew Liberopoulos, and defensive back Daniel Medjid recorded tackles before Considine knocked the ball out of the quarterback’s hands. Daniel Morizio and Karol hustled after the loose ball with Karol securing it just seven yards from the endzone. Berkery then ran around left tackle Jack O’Neill and left guard Zach Olson to score. Considine, Karol, and Cascadden also had nice

blocks on the play. Following the extra point be Desiderio, Garden City led 14-0 with 6:41 left in the first. Gavin Lawe made a tough hit on the kick returner. Linemen Ryan Campbell and Tyler Gorman tackled the running back for a 1-yard loss. Gorman followed that with a 4-yard sack and the Pirates turned the ball over on downs. Quarterback Kraus threw to Cascadden for a 34-yard gain. Kephart and Holtzman made key blocks for Considine, who ran from the right hash to the left pylon to score from 26 yards out. Still in the first quarter, GC led 21-0. Lawe and Leo Votruba

tackled the kick returner. Cascadden and Kephart recorded a 2-yard sack. John Uhoda forced an intentional grounding penalty that set the Pirates back 5 yards. Cooper Kraus had a 37-yard punt return. Berkery scored from 10 yards out with assistance near the goal line from blockers Cascadden and O’Neill. The Trojans led 28-0 with 9:32 left in the second quarter. Wuchte recorded a tackle for a 2-yard loss and Considine sacked the quarterback for a 3-yard loss. Kraus found receiver Danny Psaki for a 9-yard gain and then threw 29 yards to Berkery in the endzone. The Trojans led 35-0 with

7:32 left in the half. Uhoda, Ullrich, and Stamati Makrinos recorded a 3-yard tackle for loss. Wuchte had a 36-yard punt return followed by a 19-yard run. Garden City continued to play well in the second half. Joseph Pino sacked the quarterback for a 10-yard loss. Desiderio punted for 50 yards. Wuchte, Ullrich and Campbell had multiple tackles before Campbell tackled the receiver for a 6-yard loss to end the third quarter. Ullrich and Campbell forced a fumble which Josh Cohen recovered. Justin Baiker had two double-digit runs. Quarterback Declan Wuchte flipped the ball

to running back Brett Karr, who picked up great blocks by running back Jimmy Trocchia and receiver Andrew Loughlin to score from the 10-yard line. With 3:48 left in the fourth, GC led 42-0. Julian Galli stopped the kick returner. Lawe, Brady Paskewitz, Karr, and TJ Cooke stopped the Pirates to end the game. Final score: Garden City 42, Mepham 0. The Trojans begin the playoffs on Friday, November 3, against a familiar foe. Garden City hosts Mepham in an afternoon contest that kicks off at 2 p.m.

Members of Garden City High School’s senior classes, along with High School German teacher Susanne Rupes, took part in the annual German American Day flag raising ceremony at the Nassau County Executive Building in Mineola on Oct. 5. The annual ceremony, hosted by Nassau County Supreme Court Justice Ute Wolff Lally and the German American Culture Council celebrates the contributions of German Americans, German American heritage and the reunification of Germany. The event began with a presentation of the flags of the United States and the Federal Republic of Germany followed by the national anthems of the two countries. Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman presented a Proclamation in Commemoration of the many contributions made by Americans of German heritage to the development of this country. Garden City seniors recited eloquent speeches in German about what they love most about studying the language, including getting to experience a feeling of German “Gemütlichkeit” — good cheer — and unique opportunities to take part in extracurricular events and special trips throughout the year organized by their teacher, Frau Rupes.

Varsity Football secures 8th win, enters playoffs undefeated

Friday, November 3, 2023 The Garden City News

GCHS Boys Varsity Soccer bound for finals

Freshman Henry Koester celebrates his first varsity goal. The Boys Varsity Soccer team continued its fine season with two strong playoff victories to propel the team into the County Finals against number two seeded Manhasset. The final match was played on Thursday night at Farmingdale State University. The two wins, against Roslyn (5-0) and Glen Cove (2-1), were very different but with the same outcome — GC victories to keep their record without a blemish. The quarterfinal match against Roslyn was played on the Trojans home turf and the GC boys took a quick lead and never looked back. Senior captains Travis Thompson opened the scoring in the 2nd minute of the game with a well

Ian Pupke with the save.

placed free kick from about 30 yards out. That goal was followed up by fellow senior captain Tommy Poz’ penalty kick in the 10th minute for a 2-0 lead. For Poz it was his 32nd goal of the season. In soccer matches the third goal of a game is critical, not only for the leading team but to shift momentum to the team that is behind. And with about ten minutes remaining in the first half the chance for a big momentum shift towards Roslyn came when they were awarded a penalty kick for a handball in the box. But stepping up to the challenge was Ian Pupke, who dove to his right and grabbed the kick to preserve the lead and ultimately shut down the Roslyn attack.

The second half was all GC as they added goals from senior Andrew Fuoco and freshman Tommy Schreier and Henry Koester. The Trojans controlled the ball for the second half to earn their 12th shutout of the season. The semifinal game against Glen Cove was a rematch from last seasons County final and the Trojans knew they were facing a tough battle — even with Glen Cove being the number 12 seed. And the game didn’t disappoint and kept the GC faithful on the edge of their seats for much of the match. Garden City jumped out to an early lead, when in the 12th minute who else but Tommy Poz picked up a loose ball on the left side of the box and carried across the middle of the field, beating three defenders, and then rifling a shot through traffic past a diving Glen Cove keeper for the 1-0 lead. With a little over ten minutes remaining in the half, Poz again made a run at the goal. This time he took a thru ball from Thompson on the right sideline about 30 yards out, and managed to weave his way through five defenders to push a ball past a fallen keeper for his

second goal of the game and the 2-0 GC lead. The goal not only gave the Trojans a lead, but also gave Poz the Nassau County scoring record for goals in a season with 34. The game was a tightly played contest with both teams not wanting to give up an inch, challenging for every ball. The aggressive play saw a flourish of yellow cards given to both teams, although none of them were costly on the scoresheet. The second half was a battle, with both teams trading punches on the attack, but both keepers were up to the challenge. In the sixth minute with Glen Cove throwing everybody on the attack, the Trojans had an unfortunate inadvertent handball called in the box and Glen Cove was awarded a penalty kick. Pupke dove left but the Glen Cove forward placed an excellent shot past him to cut the Trojan lead in half and set up for heart stopping last five minutes. The GC defense withstood several runs by Glen Cove and the 2-1 lead held up and the Trojans were head to the County finals!

Girls Varsity Soccer advances to County Finals

The Trojans after their win against Long Beach HS.

Quarterfinals vs Long Beach HS

On Thursday, October 26, the GC girls faced off against Long Beach HS at 2 p.m. at Warren King field. This game was a physical battle from start to finish and unfortunately resulted in some untimely injuries for the

Trojans. Despite the setback for the GC girls they were able to get the 2-0 victory and advance to the semifinals. In the 8th minute of the game, Chloe Benik sent a nice through ball into the box. Lee lee Gaffney took a shot and Kathryn Monaco was able

to find the back of the net off a deflection to give the Trojans an early 1-0 lead. Brianna Ciccone added the second goal of the game off a corner kick in the 9th minute of the game. The rest of the game remained scoreless for both sides and Marissa Patrissi was able to secure the win for the Trojans with five saves and another shutout. The Garden City girls (9-4-4) advanced to the semifinals against Manhasset HS. The GC girls set the tone early in this game as well. It was Kathryn

Monaco again to get the Trojans on the board early. A nice pass from Brianna Ciccone landed on the foot of Monaco. The conditions were wet and the ball was skipping so Monaco took a shot from 20 yards out and it found the back left corner of the goal to give the GC girls the early lead. The Manhasset girls were not giving up. They came to play and they were hoping to capitalize on the numerous injuries in the Trojans starting lineup. However, the GC girls were not letting that happen! In the second half of the game senior captain Emily Romeo had a beautiful goal off a pass

Field Hockey starts playoff run with 3-0 victory

Arci Haffner beating the defense.

Celebrating the goal! Commemorating its 77th season, the Garden City Varsity Field Hockey team paid tribute to the team’s longstanding tradition of excellence adding yet another winning regular season to the record books. On a crisp and clear Halloween afternoon, Garden City took the field at Warren King Stadium, expectations were high, it’s win and move on or lose and go home… welcome to the playoffs. Just three weeks ago, Garden City defeated an athletic and unrelenting Clarke team 5-0. A well coached, finely tuned Garden City team takes nothing for granted, and got off to a fast start compiling multiple penalty corners. The Clarke goalkeeper made back to back saves and continued to deny Garden City’s shots, the game was scoreless after the first quarter. The Garden City defense lead by senior captain Maureen Arendt, junior Lauren Marino, and junior Averie Smith prevented Clarke from penetrating into Garden City territory. Junior Captain Archi Haeffner, Cat Suau and Jenny Roller controlled the midfield and created opportunities for the GC offense. At the 11:25 mark of the second quarter, freshman Emily Racich scored on a penalty corner, and just minutes later Kitty Clavin added another goal giving Garden City a 2-0 advantage at the half. Unable to generate any offense, Clarke focused all of its efforts on defense attempting to keep the game close. Clarke defended multiple penalty corners with outstanding goalkeeper play and unrelenting effort from the Clarke defenders. The ball handling skills of Katherine O’Hanlon, Emerson Goettelman, and Hayden Rogler wore down the Clarke

Finally, senior captain Tara Hollis slammed her last career penalty corner goal on her home turf against the wood backboard of the goal giving GC a seemingly insurmountable 3-0 lead. Senior Alexander Walsh made contributions in the midfield and Seniors Stephanie Morgan, Jacqueline Caruthers, and Allison Caruthers embraced their last home game win at Warren King Stadium knowing their playoff run continues. Head Coach Lavelle, Coach Deluca and Coach Camberdella are all excited to be taking this close knit and determined team to the Nassau County Championship.
