Department anticipates that as many as 175 may sign up for the upcoming swim lessons. “Adelphi has been very generous with us and there’s normally the $4,000 rental fee See page 46

At its meeting on October 27th, the Garden City Board of Trustees reached an impasse on hiring a construction cost estimator for the St. Paul’s Main Building. The village is evaluating the 143 year-old building’s future, and a 37 member committee appointed by the mayor has been examining different scenarios for possible reuse. The agenda for the Board of Trustees meeting included an item to authorize $69,000 to hire a consultant, Westerman Construction, Co., Inc., to provide cost estimates for possible renovations for the St. Paul’s main building. The company would have investigated “Alteration and Renovation (Adaptive Reuse or Facadism) Versus Demolition” of the building. Village Administrator Ralph

Suozzi discussed the recent Request For Proposals (RFP) process the village used to solicit the bids for the cost estimator services. The village had issued RFPs several months ago, but the new round of RFPs included environmental remediation work that might be needed. Mayor Cosmo Veneziale responded to a public comment by George Salem, who asked how costs could be determined before the village comes to a conclusion on “what it’s ultimately doing” with the historic property. Salem felt it would be premature to have a professional estimate work that has not been decided upon by the village. He discussed the comments of Thornton Tomasetti engineers about the environmental impact study which would need to occur before any further stages – which See page 40

A WORD FROM THE PUBLISHER

Get the facts

At last week’s Board of Trustees meeting the Board delayed hiring a construction cost estimator for St. Paul’s because the possible plans for the building are still nebulous. We have to respectfully disagree with that decision (and with some of our letters to the editor this week). People can’t choose an option without having at least a ballpark idea of its cost. If you ask a car buyer if she would like the latest luxury self-driving electric car with all the trimmings, of course she will agree. But if you tell her first that it might cost $120K, her preferences may well change. Similarly, if you show the community dozens of wonderful programs that could be housed at a renovated St.

Paul’s, many people will be very excited. But without the key piece of information about the potential cost, there’s no way to evaluate whether it’s worth it. While it might be a waste of money to have the estimator run down the cost of several very detailed plans that might never be built, it would make more sense to have him provide a range of costs for different broad options, with the understanding that the numbers are approximate. (An alternative idea would be for the village to first decide how much it wants to spend, and then ask the estimator what can be done within that budget.) It’s a chicken and egg problem, but the only way forward is to get the facts.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Email: Editor@GCNews.com

Botched RFP process

To the Editor: During the last several weeks, village officials sent out RFPs (requests for proposals) seeking candidate firms to provide them with comparative analysis and cost estimates — for renovating St. Paul’s building, versus demolition of all or parts of it, or facadism (saving only the front walls). Administering the search for the Village were Giuseppe Giovannielo, Superintendent of the Building Dept., Ralph Suozzi, Village Administrator, and John Borroni, Senior Civil Engineer. Also, there may have been oversight by some Trustees. There were two rounds of requests, possibly owing to the fact that the first did not produce a satisfactory number of acceptable applicants. The first round contacted 13 construction firms; only four responded. One was accepted. No explanations were disclosed to the public. Westerman Construction Company, of NYC, was the winner. A few weeks later, on September 26, a second round of RFPs were sent out — to 11 firms with a return deadline of October 10. This time only three were returned, and again, one was accepted. Interestingly, it was Westerman Construction—same firm as the first round. They quoted $69,000 for the estimating job — up 25% from $55,000 in the first round. This outcome was curious to me. Furthermore, there was no public disclosure for this “unusual” event, other than Garden City’s statement that Westerman was the lowest bidder, and the firm was no stranger to Garden City officials — including Mayor Veneziale. His architectural firm (he is CEO) has done some historic preservation work. As far as we know, no other Trustee has professional experience in historic building redevelopment. We wonder, was the cheapest bid, $69,000, a principal selection criterion? Importantly, Village officials did not disclose fully how the applicants were selected from the NY State “Contract Reporter.” The key to GC is how strong is Westerman’s resume in doing our

needed work? Lastly, it could be possible that Westerman was truly the best applicant. We simply do not know. And we should have been told.

The BOT Meeting of October 27

On the agenda for the meeting was a vote of the Trustees to approve Westerman to do the Cost Estimator job. During the Q&A, I raised this question: “Why are you selecting an estimator now when we have not yet come up with a final plan— of what Trustees, the Mayor’s St. Paul’s Committee and residents have decided? Aren’t you placing the cart before the horse?” This does not make sense!! For example, we do not yet have a completed EIS (Environmental Impact Study), a legal requirement which could take a year or two to complete. Nor have design, stabilization and abatement been completed. These costly phases of preparing for a Village-wide approval of final plans must await any formal plans or else the estimator is working with partial information which he needs to do accurate work. At the meeting Q&A, No Trustee seemed to endorse my questions and conclusions— except one person. Trustee Mary Carter Flanagan to the Rescue As the BOT vote to approve Westerman became imminent, Trustee Mary Carter Flanagan bravely asked the Mayor for the vote to be temporarily removed from the agenda until there is a fuller understanding of what they should know. What then ensued was roughly two hours of vigorous debate, among the Trustees, and attending residents, with no conclusions — and no vote. Flanagan was correct! It was premature to vote. Crucially, there are literally dozens of potential plans based on: the nature of preservation, the varieties of partial or full facadism, different methods of demolition and the myriad choices of uses that need finalization from residents’ and Trustees’ inputs. The combinations and permutations of potential outcomes is enormous! See page 41

The Garden City High School marching band competed in the US Bands New York State Championship and won first place in the Division IIA category. The Garden City High School marching band received first place for Division IIA at the US Bands New York State Championship held at Lindenhurst Middle School. The ensemble placed first in several categories, including Best Music, Best Effect, Best Visual, Best Color Guard and Best Percussion. The band earned a score of 86.8, which is a near 7-point increase from their last competition’s score. This is the marching band's second consecutive year winning this title, and the students were overjoyed when the results were announced. According to Marching Band Director Daniel DellaMonica, “The

students performed their best show of the season yet! They really pushed through and performed at a high-level, despite the rain. I am so proud of the students for not only their performance, but who they are as people.” On Oct. 22, volunteer members of the marching band also performed at the Light the Night event at Eisenhower Park to help fundraise for a Stewart School student. The marching band is scheduled next to compete in Allentown, Pennsylvania on Nov. 5 at the US Bands National Championship. Photos courtesy of Garden City Public Schools

Murray ‘83 for his extended and generous support of the College by dedicating the Murray Conference Room in the School of Business (SOB) in his honor. Murray is a resident of Garden City. In a special unveiling ceremony that preceded the President’s Gala, Geneseo President Denise Battles and SOB Dean Mary Ellen Zuckerman emphasized the lasting impact Murray’s outstanding ser-

vice and philanthropy have had on the education and careers of students. In addition to his leadership work on the Business Advisory Council and the Student Managed Investment Fund, Murray, a retired CEO and vice chairman of Graham Capital Management, has created a number of endowed scholarships and programs over the years. Highlights include but are not limited to the creation of the Robert E. Murray ’83 School of Business Endowed Scholarship in 2017, from which three students have received a renewable award. In 2021, Murray and his spouse Elizabeth established the Robert E. ’83 and Elizabeth Murray Endowed Scholarship for rising juniors in the School of Business. In 2022, the Robert E. ’83 and Elizabeth Murray Endowed Career Exploration Award at the Career Design Center was established in addition to a significant gift for the Dean’s Opportunity Fund in the School of Business. Murray has been a member of the SOB’s Business Advisory Council since 2016, serving as a co-chair from 2018–2020. “Your advocacy for and mentorship of Geneseo business students and alumni through the years has been inspirational, and your impact has been far-reaching,” said Dean Zuckerman to Murray at the ceremony.

Student athletes collect for “Sock Out Cancer Coin Challenge” After hundreds of Garden City’s student athletes donned pink socks and bows throughout October for breast cancer awareness month, they’re kicking off November by gathering donations of spare change for the “Sock Out Breast Cancer Coin Challenge.” Breast cancer fundraisers are everywhere, but most of the money raised goes toward breast cancer prevention and early detection efforts. Very little of it, only 2–3%, is dedicated toward research for metastatic breast cancer. Metastatic breast cancer (also called stage IV or advanced breast cancer) is not a specific type of breast cancer. It’s the most advanced stage of breast cancer. It is breast cancer that has spread beyond the breast and nearby lymph nodes to other parts of the body (most often the bones, lungs, liver or brain). Although metastatic breast cancer has spread to another part of the body, it’s still breast cancer and treated as breast cancer. For the more than 168,000 U.S. women (and men) facing this advanced stage of breast cancer, many treatments

exist, but those treatments are life-long, and there is currently no cure. Scientists believe that metastatic breast cancer could become a chronic, rather than terminal, disease, if only there were more funding to do the research necessary to develop effective treatments. The Sock Out Cancer Coin Challenge is a community effort across multiple GC youth sports organizations, including Garden City Thunder football, GCHS Trojan Varsity Football, Garden City Spirit, Garden City Centennials, Tradition Girls Lacrosse, and GCAA baseball and basketball teams. Coin donations can be dropped off to Community Park football field this Friday, November 4, from 6–7 p.m. Donations may also be made online at: https://donate.metavivor.org/gardencity Every cent will be donated to METAvivor, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to increasing awareness of advanced breast cancer and equity in research and patient support. METAvivor is the only organization that solely funds metastatic breast cancer research through a scientific peer

Garden City Thunder players are wearing pink socks and collecting change for the “Sock Out Cancer Coin Challenge.” review process. 100% of donations goes toward supporting grants for metastatic breast cancer research. All 2022 Sock Out Challenge donations will be made in memory of Emily

Vigneaux, a beloved member of the Garden City community, who passed away on July 15, 2022, at age 39 of metastatic breast cancer.

GCHS to present “Twelve Angry Jurors” Garden City High School is pleased to announce its upcoming production of Twelve Angry Jurors. Performances will be held at Garden City High School on Thursday, Nov. 17, at 4 p.m., Friday, Nov. 18, at 7 p.m., and Saturday, Nov. 19, at 7 p.m. Based on the Emmy award-winning television movie by Reginald Rose and adapted for the stage by Sherman L. Sergel, “Twelve Angry Jurors” takes audiences into the deliberation room, where a jury will decide on the verdict in a capital trial. At first, it seems like an open-and-

shut case with all of the jurors ready to declare the defendant guilty—all except for one. As the sole dissenter plants seeds of doubt among her peers, tension ramps up, arguments ensue and the fate of the defendant hangs in the balance. General admission tickets can be purchased for $12, while student and senior citizen tickets are $10. The Thursday, Nov. 17, performance is free to senior citizens. Tickets can be purchased in advance by visiting gchsny.booktix.com. For more information or group sales, please contact (516) 478-2474.

And it’s all for a wonderful cause that helps restore the 1872 Apostle House Museum.” Holiday Market & Village Sponsorships are available. Please contact Francine Ryan, francine. ryan@tgchs.org. The Historical Society Holiday Village & Market will support local businesses and artisans, showcase the artistic talents of Garden City’s children, designers, businesses and will contribute to the ongoing restoration of the society’s 1872 Apostle House Museum, made possible through the magnanimous support of Vinny Muldoon, of Old World Quality Corp.

Sugarplums Wreath.

The Elves at The Historical Society have been busy for months - planning, creating and working with the most marvelous merchants, including Santa himself, to create an extraordinary Holiday shopping and entertainment experience! Friday, December 2, kicks off the Benefit Preview Cocktail Party — once again generously underwritten by Mary Jane and Tom Poole - offering early access to shop luxe, local artisans and brands while enjoying festive cocktails and lavish hors d’oeuvres. Tickets are $75 and can be easily purchased using the QR code, or at the A.T. Stewart Exchange in the Historical Society at 109 Eleventh Street. On Saturday, December 3, The

Holiday Market and The Holiday Village open from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m., with free admission. The Holiday Village, at the Historical Society Museum right next door to the Market, will have Santa holding court, hot cocoa and candy canes for the children and an antique Train Village running merrily around the tracks. The Garden City Community-Senior Center will be transformed into a magical kingdom, aglow with twinkling lights, candles in the windows and festooned with faux greenery in the form of trees sponsored and decorated by some of Garden City’s premier businesses, including Compass and Coach. Thanks to the uber talent of Historical Society Board member

Diane Geyer, this year the Market will include Holiday Wreaths - the likes of which you haven’t seen since perhaps your last holiday shopping excursion to Harrods. Each one is an heirloom-quality work of art; each one different, made with small treasures, whimsical bits and the best ribbons, etc. There are sumptuous classical wreaths, charming wreaths for a child’s room, wreaths chic enough to take center stage in the most elegant rooms, or on the most imposing doors. There are wreaths small and wreaths large, each one from the hands of an exceptionally gifted artisan. Diane Geyer, who spent 35+ years as a Corporate Director in Finance, is the artist and designer she always wanted to be in this new chapter of her life. After receiving a diploma in Interior Design, she tackled projects, including the astonishing transformation of the staid Senior Center into the enchanted holiday shopping venue of last year’s Holiday Market.

Leaf Collection Begins

Crews began leaf collection on Monday, October 31, beginning in the West section and working west to east. During the collection season, the Village’s website will be updated weekly to allow residents to track the collection process. We ask that residents observe the following guidelines: • Place only leaves in the street. Other items such as sticks and old plant material may damage machinery and slow down operation. • Do not place leaves on medians and malls as this will kill or damage the grass. For reasons of safety, our streets are cleaned of leaves on a more frequent schedule than are the medians. • Avoid parking cars over leaves as this slows our operation considerably and is also a fire hazard. Cars can be damaged or destroyed by fire as a result of their being parked on dry leaves. • Please do not obscure fire hydrants by piling leaves around them. • If you have a gardener, instruct him to place your leaves in the street, and not on the malls. Many gardeners find it convenient to bring leaves in from other communities to which they work for disposal by the Village. This practice is prohibited and the Police Department will issue summonses.

THE VIEW FROM HERE

A midterm wrap up BY BOB MORGAN, JR. A few final thoughts about the midterms. Most polls indicate that this will be a good year for Republicans around the country, with major gains in Congress. Even in the New York race for governor, Republican Lee Zeldin and Democrat Governor Kathy Hochul are locked in a close race. Obviously, a Republican takeover of the Executive Mansion in Albany would be a major milestone. One of the favorite arguments made by Democrats is that democracy is currently threatened and that voting for Republican “election deniers” is harmful to our future as a democratic nation. Democrats paint with a very broad brush. In some versions of this theory, a majority of Republican candidates in key states are deemed to be deniers. In New York, Governor Hochul, seizing upon Congressman Zeldin’s vote not to certify Democratic electors, claims that Mr. Zeldin is an election denier. The theory is that electing individuals who questioned at any time the 2020 results would put the fairness of the 2024 election in jeopardy. For example, an NBC article quotes as an expert former Democratic New York state Senator Daniel Squadron, who states that “when election deniers are in control, they will do whatever they can to undermine free and fair elections.” You can give Democrats credit for a good political try in attempting to get Republican and independent voters to vote for candidates and policies they otherwise would not consider, but this is all pretty farfetched, overblown stuff. I wish Donald Trump and his supporters had acted differently and more responsibly after the 2020 election. Once it became clear by late November that, despite often justifiable complaints about changes to election rules and procedures in 2020, Mr. Trump was unable to demonstrate fraud or irregularities sufficient to change the results, he should have conceded the election or at the very least acknowledged the results. The January 6 riot, and Mr. Trump’s failure to tell demonstrators to leave the Capitol, were disgraceful. Still, most voters have decided,

quite reasonably, not to buy into the idea of a blanket ban on voting for Republicans sympathetic to Mr. Trump’s election claims. For one thing, there is no evidence that Republicans, beyond wanting to trim back somewhat pandemic related expansion on early voting or drop boxes, and perhaps strengthen voter identification requirements, have any general intention whatever to tamper with the 2024 election results. For example, the recently passed Georgia election reform has had little or no impact on early turnout. And to their credit, Republicans state election officials performed their functions in a fair and nonpartisan manner in 2020. Many Republicans also support a reform of the 1887 Electoral Count Act, which will restrict or outlaw the type of electoral college challenges Mr. Trump attempted to launch in early 2021. Second, it isn’t like Democrats over the years have cheerfully accepted the election of Republican officeholders. For example, there were repeated claims by Hillary Clinton and many others that Donald Trump was an “illegitimate” president and false claims, including by President Biden’s press secretary, that Stacey Abrams was cheated out of the governorship of Georgia, Most voters, including those who believe Republicans should get over 2020, are focusing on issues that are of more immediate relevance to their lives. In a time of the worst inflation since the early 1980s, voters are inclined to shy away from the party whose tax and spend policies, as well as hostility to energy production, are perceived as exacerbating the problem. Closer to home, voters on the state and local level are angered at candidates whose allies flirt with “defund the police” rhetoric, seem disinclined to deal with mentally ill homeless people and often favor restrictions on cash bail that put dangerous offenders back on the street. In any event, the long runup to the midterm elections is about over, and most voters will be hoping that their choices will lead the country to move in a better direction, sooner rather than later.

I took this photo in the fall of 1992 of the newly renovated Vanderbilt Long Island Motor Parkway Garden City Toll Lodge. This historic landmark built in 1911 was moved to this location at the far east end of Seventh Street in 1989. I was very involved back then with the restoration and the creation of the Parkway Museum in the lower level. This building was to be the permanent home of the Garden City Chamber of Commerce and has been for the last thirty years. The Chamber acquired the Toll Lodge for one dollar from a Realtor who owned it at the time. The condition was that the Chamber move the Toll Lodge from its original location on Vanderbilt Court off Clinton Road just south of Pell Terrace to Seventh Street.

WHAT’S NEW AT THE GC LIBRARY

News from the Children’s Room Time to Change Your Clocks!

This Sunday, November 6, 2022, the clocks “fall” back. Be sure to change your clocks back one hour. Why do we change the clocks anyway? To put it simply, we change the clocks to make better use of natural daylight in the morning. During the summer time, we borrow an hour of daylight from the morning and shift it to the evening to reduce our energy consumption. https://www.nytimes.com/article/ daylight-saving-time-questions.html

Construction and the Children’s Room

Construction has begun! The Children’s Room has relocated temporarily near the Periodical Room with materials on the first floor and the second floor. Come by to say hello and scope out the new location!

The Friends will be offering fiction both current and classic, popular authors, politics, his-

tory, art ….the list goes on. Come and check out what we have to offer.

Come out and support the efforts of all the Friends volunteers, who are making this sale possible. Would you like to help by becoming a Friend or a volunteer? Reach out to the library and you will be contacted by a Friend. The best communities are those in which the residents support their library.

Programs for Adults at the Garden City Public Library Spring Ahead, Fall Back!

Don’t forget to change your clocks this weekend. The first Sunday in November is when we change our clocks and move it back an hour. It’s also a good time to check the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms!

Friends Book Sale November 5 & 6

The much-anticipated semi-annual Friends of the Garden City Public Library Book Sale will take place Saturday, November 5, 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., and Sunday, November 6, 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. in the Cafe and Large and Small meeting rooms on the lower level. A Teen Bake Sale will be held in conjunction with the book sale to raise funds for teen programs. Funds raised by the Friends this past year sponsored programs for all ages, purchased museum passes and contributed to the renovation of the Children’s room. There are a number of ways to support the Friends. For example: become a member through your donation; donate quality books and media items, shop the daily book sale area for gently used donated vds, books, cds; support smaller sales during the year (watch for dates); and buy a non-plastic tote bag at the circulation desk. The Friends thank you for your support of the Library and its programs, and the Library thanks you for your support of the Friends.

Speaking of Books

Adult Reference librarians have been very busy discovering books we like and want to recommend. Titles include: “The Midnight Library” by Matt Haig: Between life and death there is a library, and within that library, the shelves go on forever. Every book provides a chance to try another life you could have lived. To see how things would be if you had made other choices... would you have done anything different, if you had the chance to undo your regrets? A novel about all the choices that go into a life well lived. “Like a Rolling Stone - A Memoir” by Jann S. Wenner: Jann Wenner is the founder, editor and publisher of Rolling Stone. This is a memoir from the heart of the rock and roll generation from the triumphs of the Beatles and the Stones to Bono and the Boss. “Home Sweet Christmas” by Susan Mallery: Interweaving two heartfelt love stories, Mallery expertly captures a festive yuletide spirit in her sparkling second “Wishing Tree” novel (after “The Christmas Wedding

Guest”). Nothing more festive than Christmas and love together! “Dying of Politeness - A Memoir” by Geena Davis: From two-time Academy Award winner and screen icon Geena Davis, the surprising tale of her “journey to badassery”— from her epically polite childhood to roles that loaned her the strength to become a powerhouse in Hollywood. “Other Birds - A Novel” by Sarah Addison Allen: An enchanting tale filled with magical realism and moments of pure love that won't let you go. This book is about grief, ghosts of the people who shaped and reformed the main characters’ lives, and the power of learning how to let go and believe in yourself to start over!

WHAT’S NEW AT THE GARDEN CITY PUBLIC LIBRARY

Friday,November 4, 2022 The Garden City News

Board hits impasse on St. Paul’s plans From page 1 he said would take up to a year to complete. “In order to determine if the building can be reused or repurposed or if it has to be demolished proportionally, it’s part of the process to have an estimator come in. We need the estimator, for example, to take the schematic drawings that would be outlining any adaptive reuse so we’d know if it would cost $50 million or $75 million to repurpose the building or $10 million to just demolish the building – we don’t know. That estimate has to be completed by a professional cost estimator and we’ve been stating this for months,” the mayor explained. Suozzi noted that the different aspects to every possibility are one consideration but the St. Paul’s building is a known entity, with a certain size, structure and square footage for an estimator to come in and perform their calculations with. “They can move ahead on different parts, with different speeds, while the decisions are considered. The final part with the construction or other programming would be further down – you would not need to know specifically the use including a dance studio for example, or children’s play areas. While the programming is important, that is a last piece to evaluate with what is already existing,” he said.

Paralysis by Analysis?

Trustee Mary Carter Flanagan read a few statements on the continuing public presentations and work of the mayoral-appointed Committee researching the viability of St. Paul’s projects. She said the alternatives are not yet known by members of the Village Board and she was hesitant to permit the cost estimator proposal to come up for a board vote at the meeting. To support Flanagan’s stance, Trustees Charles Kelly, Terry Digan and Lawrence Marciano also expressed their hopes that village taxpayers funds would not be spent until more is known about potential reuses and/other potential for St. Paul’s. “My fellow trustees, and several residents feel that at some point this does need to be done – but we are not ready.

For those who may be wondering why ‘not yet’ I will share some reasons. As William Alisse explained last night (October 26) he has not received the detailed input yet for facadism that he did for adaptive reuse. He explained he’s only gotten snippets on a facade plan. I thank everyone who is working on the ‘facade plan’ though it’s clear it is currently a work in progress. Frank McDonough noted that with the work for facade potential this represented just a ‘first step’ and at the Town Hall (October 26) it was great to see young swimmers there who would like to provide their feedback with their pitch for a pool as part of the facade complex, in addition there was the input from seniors who would like a smaller pool. It seems that the plans involving facadism really started in just the last few weeks and I acknowledge that outreach has not really occurred to all the sports programs and schools who I’m sure would like to provide input on this…. it is clear with the facade proposals we would need more time before getting a cost estimate,” Trustee Carter Flangan announced. Deputy Mayor Tom O’Brien said he felt it would be important for the people working on the St. Paul’s Committee to have answers to some questions that are proposed and to outline work that has taken place. “My understanding is that no spending will occur until all of the facts are in and we have those final results – I am in no rush to move the committee forward before that is taken care of,” he said. Trustee Bruce Torino listened to Carter Flanagan and audience members who spoke and said there appeared to be a fundamental misconception of what a cost estimator does. “Simply stated they have an ability that has to be inherently reviewed. You then have to make a determination as to what you have, with measurements and review of the building and you quantify what the size of it is. Then after that is quantified plans and information are put together, and from that information there would be different iterations…the problem we have here is that without a cost estimator none of the questions that have been asked as to what these costs can be answered. When you are

building anything, you have to conceptualize what you are going to have and how many square feet you have in order to get an estimate…By not retaining an estimator, effectively this entire process is stopped if you can’t answer questions on the possibilities and uses for the building and what it would cost,” he explained. Torino added that halting the progress by other trustees seeking more information was undue because the building has to be evaluated in order to figure out full costs. Mayor Veneziale said there is a finite dimension to the building and it has materials that can be part of the cost estimates, and there are observations ready for what should be taken away and what could be added given future site potential. “This is only a first step with a schematic design estimate. There’s a schematic for adaptive reuse and we’re doing the schematic for facadism and the demolition is pretty simple. Typically in any contract there is another estimate for the design elements also done by a cost estimator – at that point you would have additional information to analyze and it would include plumbing and lighting fixtures and all other necessities that would go into a building. The FINAL analysis, after the project goes out to bid and after construction designs is done by the contractor – there are three levels of estimating here before you get to the final result of a building. But as Trustee Torino says you have to start somewhere,” the mayor said. Hampton Road resident Ryan Mulrooney said he was responsible for communicating with the GCAA, Garden City Boys Lacrosse, the Centennials and several other athletic and sports associations and clubs in Garden City to gauge potential for St. Paul’s. Listening to the board meeting, Mulrooney hoped for progress from the prior board meeting in August, “where the same people who do not want to rush things were demanding a financial plan by the end of September.” “It is baffling tonight, as we had trustees talking about deadlines and financial reports being furnished by the end of September but now we aren’t funding the cost estimator role to get estimates?

If the trustees are saying they have not heard anything in the last few months, they are sitting next to someone who is active on the Committee. This is strange stuff, nonsense – absolute nonsense and this is why the village didn’t get something done at St. Paul’s for 30 years,” he commented. Trustee Charles Kelly said he was in the majority of the board that didn’t understand how a cost estimate could be completed without a proposal for the scope of work at St. Paul’s. “It seems to me that the potential proposal could be very fluid, and I do not want taxpayer funds spent estimating different proposals. I want a specific adaptive reuse proposal – then I would be happy to join in voting to spend funds to get the estimate, so the board could put that on a ballot for the community vote. At this point I think neither the discussions or proposals are finalized, and we don’t even know how much space is going to be used. It is premature at this point to start spending taxpayer money – we could get a cost estimate then supplemental cost estimates and later a final cost estimate based on the final proposals,” he said. Torino reiterated the sole function of a cost estimator is for them to do an inventory of the building. He concluded if the Board of Trustees decides it does not want to hire a cost estimator and the step in doing so would be adjourning this again and again, “then you will wind up having a process in the next election cycle.” “When the Board decided in August that it was not going to approve a cost estimator, there were five trustees in favor of that. But the five had the opportunity if they chose to change the process and decide to attend every meeting and discuss all potential with the Committee. If they wanted to get information, each trustee would have turned to any one of a number of people to do it. Right now, without a cost estimator, the process is grinding to a halt. If that is the intent with the issue of kicking the can down the road we then should have a degree of transparency and say ‘hey we do not want to do this until the next election cycle or we do not want to do it at all,” he noted.

Email: Editor@GCNews.com From page 2 Now What and So What? Frankly, I don’t know what comes next. We are at a standstill of sorts.The next Trustee meeting is November 17. However, an earlier approval vote on the estimator could be called. In my view this would be unwise. Or the vote might not take place until more required steps occur. We all must accept the reality that all this takes time. In total, we understand that the entire completion of a renovated, repurposed St Paul’s, for adaptive re-use, could take about five years — more than twice the time for simple demolition, at a fraction of the cost, and less risk of a variety of unexpected construction, legal or financial adversities. These time estimates above were given, at the Oct. 26th Town Hall, by executives of the highly- respected construction consultant to Garden City over the years — Thornton-Tomasetti. We were also disappointed by the disclosure by Westerman in their response stating they would rely somewhat on previous work performed by Tomasetti and others. Conditions today are VERY different than 3 to 15 years ago and should not be relied on today, in our view. In addition, this project is huge, likely costing more than Garden City can afford, too large (over 110,000 sq. ft.) for many firms to accept, and somewhat unique, in many respects, in repurposement history, in the U.S. and globally. Haste makes waste. And delays cost money; and “comparables” are fewer and less relevant today. One thing I can conclude: enough homework has not been done by Village officials, and residents have been in the dark. More discussion would be wise. The Trustees must have the final vote, with guidance from the residents’ poll. Presently the Board seems divided on moving ahead with St. Paul’s plans. The opinion poll seems to us many months away— into spring- summer 2023, and there is a Village Trustees and Mayoral election in March 2023. Crucially, the estimator’s job has rarely been this difficult. It is sort of like trying to “fly a kite in a hurricane!” decades - high Inflation, high interest rates, economic and geo-political and supply chain issues are producing wild swings in material prices. This may warrant some delaying or altering the estimator’s report. Finally, expected delays could produce greater appeal, in the planned, eventual, village-wide approval poll, in favor of “demolition, AND adding a public park” as advocated by the FDEM Committee, of which I am a founding member, and others. More residents are simply saying... enough is enough!! I have run out of patience. I will not support it financially. Tear it down! We hear this a lot— currently and for the past many years we have

studied the St. Paul’s challenge. Please note: FDEM will cover this subject in greater detail at our planned Town Hall Meeting, devoted exclusively to our case for demolition. The meeting will take place on Tuesday, December 6, at 7:30pm, at the Senior Center. George M. Salem

Time for a survey

To the Editor: It’s time for a St. Paul survey One of the mistakes of the past with respect to deciding on the future of St. Paul’s is that previous boards have not deployed basic market research to determine the best use for the building. Back in 2008, the then Board of Trustees proposed to have Avalon Bay build a large rental complex in the heart of our village and across from our middle school. Almost everyone in the village (except the trustees at the time) knew this was an awful idea and when the vote was taken only 18% of the residents voted for the proposal. Years later in 2020, another board proposed an ice rink that would help pay the cost of renovating St. Paul’s. While the board did hire consultants to develop the plans including a sports consultant, the board did not conduct market research of the residents as to whether we really needed or wanted an ice rink. The proposal generated very little support and some ridicule as being an extravagant and unworkable idea. The current Board of Trustees is making the same mistake by not conducting basic market research, such a village-wide survey, as to what the residents really want and will actually use. They are relying on the St. Paul’s committee to review past requests, having open meetings and reaching out to community group leaders. While the efforts of the committee members are greatly appreciated, the committee is not reaching the vast majority of residents. Most of the 15,000 adult residents in the village are very busy with their lives involving work and their children’s activities and many are simply not paying attention. A very small percentage of village residents have attended the town halls to date – less than 2% of registered voters in the village. While surveys and market research are difficult to conduct and cost money, they are worth the investment. The village is currently conducting two village-wide surveys for traffic hot spots and water service lines. No corporation in the world would commit tens of millions of dollars to a capital project without a detailed analysis of actual market demand. George Salem rightfully proposed a survey at the recent board meeting and was immediately dismissed. Mr. Salem is 100% right and the board should authorize the St. Paul’s committee to take up his recommendation.

Otherwise, the village may not be putting forth the best adaptive reuse or façade options to our residents in the “referendum” - which is the ultimate survey of residents – and it could very well result in the unfortunate demise of St. Paul’s. Rich Catalano

Election for St. Paul’s

To the Editor: Perhaps someday there will be an election where some folks decide about St.Paul’s. If the election is conducted in the most popular way, the outcome might not respect the true will of the voters. The problem is easy to describe and easy to overcome and the point of this letter is to illustrate the problem and a describe a reasonable solution. There are 3 alternatives under study: Full Demolition; Facadism with Partial Demolition; Adaptive Re-Use. The last two may be regarded as variants of what we might call preservationism - some or all of the building would be retained. There is little doubt that an adherent of one of those last two alternatives would have the other in second place. If it should come to a vote, the traditional plurality system for determining a winner is very likely to be used and it can easily ignore the true opinions of the voters because it does not make use of voters’ second choices. This traditional system, called the plurality system, asks each voter to submit his or her most preferred alternative and the alternative with the most such votes wins. The voter does not communicate his or her second place choice– the reason this method is often called “first past the post” in analogy with horse racing where the runner-up might as well have stayed in the stable. In a plurality election involving the 3 alternatives we face, it is possible for preservation to lose even though its two component stances, Adaptive Re-Use and Facadism with Partial Demolition, have votes totaling over 50%. Here is an example: say Full Demolition has 40%, Adaptive Re-use 35% and Facadism with Partial Demolition 25%. Preservation , comprising Adaptive Re-Use and Facadism with Partial Demolition, loses even though the votes of its components, together, add to 60%. (The example could be revised to make those in favor of at least some demolition – combining Full Demolition and Facadism with Partial Demolition – the victims. Imagine 40% for Adaptive Re-Use and 35% and 25% for Full Demolition and Facadism with Partial Demolition respectively. Some Demolition gets 60% but loses.) This shortcoming of the plurality system is not news to politicians, theorists or those entrusted with designing election procedures and undoubtedly accounts for the frequent abandonment of plurality and use of the

Runoff System, or its more convenient variant, Instant Runoff. For example, Instant Runoff is used to determine the president of Ireland and was used in a recent special election for the House of Representatives in Alaska. We should use it as well. Various surveys in the U.S. found 80%-90% of voters reported understanding the ballot very well, and 90% reported it was easy to use. In Garden City, with its educated and highly motivated voters, the percentages would be even higher. If the Irish and the Alaskans can do it, so can we! In an Instant Runoff election with 3 alternatives, voters are asked to write the alternatives in a column in order of preference, first choice at the top. (To avoid controversy and uncertainty in the simplest possible way, ballots which do not list each of the alternatives should be illegal.) Election officials scrutinize each ballot to see how many voters had alternative A in first place, how many had alternative B in first place and how many had alternative C. If an alternative is in first place on more than 50% of the ballots, that is the winner. If no alternative exceeds 50%, the candidate with the fewest first place finishes is removed from the election. This can be done by crossing out, on each ballot, the candidate to be eliminated, leaving a column of 2 alternatives. Each ballot is now examined again: On each voter’s ballot, the highest remaining finisher is now regarded as being in first place and a new tally of first place finishers is carried out. Whoever comes out the highest in that tally is the winner. (The author wishes to thank Joseph Malkevitch – who knows more than the author does about this subject - for his comments.) Walter Meyer

Proposal on the ballot

To the Editor: On the bottom of your ballot you will be asked to vote yes or no on creating a state bond which will amount to $4.2 billion. Subject coverage should be utilized for capital improvements regarding clean water and clean air. It also should restore natural resources to reduce the impact of climate change. The USA has more clean water and clean air than the super powers China, India and Russia; they spent less and we surpass them with presumptuous amounts of money over and over again! Remember, two months ago Congress approved The Inflation Reduction Act which set aside nearly $370 billions for climate and energy-focused projects. The inflation goes through the roof and we continue allotting money! The proposal can only be answered with a NO! Heinz Mayer

BY ARLEEN BREEN On Sunday, October 31, the Cathedral of the Incarnation staged their All Hallows Eve Tales from the Crypt, which has not been presented since 2019. It was a wonderful success with at least 150 people attending. The Cathedral Youth Group did an outstanding job with the decorating and taking any many of the roles in the event. Several parishioner volunteers did their creepy best to welcome guests to the Cathedral. The spooky presentation began in the Cathedral with a greeting from the Sub Dean, Rev. Canon Eddie Alleyne and a brief film about the founding of Garden City and the Cathedral, and the mystery surrounding Alexander Turney Stewart, the founder of Garden City, in whose memory the Cathedral was erected. Mr. Stewart’s remains were stolen more than 2½ years after being buried in the family crypt at St. Mark’s Church in-the-Bowery in Manhattan and were ransomed for a kingly sum! Tour groups were led across the close, past a newspaper boy hawking issues of his paper with the news of the passing of A. T. Stewart, the “Merchant Prince” to See House, where a tableau of Mr. Stewart in his coffin, surrounded by weeping and moaning mourners awaited them. After the historically correct funeral prayers were read, there were a few slightly scary moments during which the late Mr. Stewart demanded that visitors “get off

Cornelia Stewart mourns her beloved husband, Alexander. my porch” from his coffin. Next, the brave tourists were led to a small boneyard, where dastardly graverobbers were caught in the nefarious act of stealing a corpse! The groups made their way back to the Cathedral where Mr. and Mrs. Stewart are reputed to rest. Or do they? Rumors persist

Extra! Extra! Read all about it, A.T. Stewart, the Merchant Prince, Dead at 72!

that the urn with Mr. Stewart’s name on it is empty and his remains are hidden elsewhere on the close. While the crypt was the final stop on the tour, the journey does not end there! This Sunday, November 6, the Cathedral celebrates the Feast of All Saints with an Evensong Service. This

is the feast on the liturgical calendar which commemorates all saints, known and unknown and is a celebration of new and abundant life! This is the first traditional Evensong of the season and will include the Cathedral Choirs singing Herbert Howells and Edgar Bainton.

The widow will pay well for his remains!

Village approves funding to rent Adelphi pool, plantings From page 1 for their campus indoor pool. We need to just pay staffing costs for their lifeguards.” While the $4,000 use/rental fee for the Rec. Department use of Adelphi’s facilities is waived the village board accepted the proposal which allocates the $1,200 from the Recreation budget to pay for Adelphi pool staffing. According to Blake the Rec. Department would like to create a lifeguarding course this winter with the use of the Adelphi Pool. He says the strategy is to train lifeguards during the winter and hopefully some of them will be applying to be Garden City Pool lifeguards in summer 2023, meaning staffing would be more feasible. The Board of Trustees also approved

a $6,500 change order for the Rec. Department project to upgrade the basketball and tennis courts at Edgemere Park. Blake explained, “unfortunately when we redid the court the contractor was given an incorrect template for the Pickleball court and we wanted two courts there, but he only painted one. We requested a change order as we now have two fully-functional Pickleball courts at Edgemere Park – the courts are open and available and equipment is located there at the park.”

Plantings and trees

At the October 27 meeting the Board of Trustees approved the award of bid for perennials, bulbs and annuals to low-bidder SiteOne Landscape Supply, for an estimated cost of $34,800. The bid was presented back in March and

SiteOne is continuing with their prior pricing. The supplier will bill the village on a per unit cost, per item, providing plants on an “as needed basis.” Blake said the fall is the time of year the village has to purchase the bulbs and the purchase covers over 47,000 tulip bulbs that will be planted between now and the end of the winter. In another Recreation Department update, Blake discussed the likelihood that at the next Village Board meeting on November 17 there will be a request for the Board to approve the award of a contract for tree plantings throughout the village. Blake says 122 trees will be planted, as bids opened in the middle of October. “We have a good vendor – Northport Tree Corp. who has worked with us for four years and they provide us with

good stock. They gave us a price of about $41,000 and the next lowest bid was $51,000. I spoke with Bob from the company and he indicated they will do all that they can to get the plantings in by the end of the season, December 15 or 22nd. If they can’t get them in by then they will be held until early spring and we will keep the same price and the same stock, as we are tagging and inspecting the trees they have that we want and they keep them aside for the village,” he told the board. Blake says the Recreation and Parks Department has also identified 134 trees in the village that need to be taken down, and out of those 115 are ash trees that fell victim to the Emerald Ash Borer, an invasive insect. The Board is expected to see a tree removal contract to approve at its November 17 meeting.

Thunder (Stoller) 10s roll into the playoffs

Front row (left to right): Jack Roller (25), Donald Clavin (31), Phoenix Galli (10), Will Fruzzetti (8), Landon Stoller (45), Peter Hamilton (52), Owen Arneson (15), Andrew Bruno (7), Brady Castellano (28), Nicholas Scacchi (81), & Nate Kong (2). Not pictured: Matthew Garufi (38) The Thunder (Stoller) 10s concluded their regular season this on October 30, with a 5-3 record and clinched a spot in the NCYFL playoffs. While the final seeding is yet to be determined, the Thunder have secured no less than a top 5 spot for the second consecutive year. Coming off of their appearance in the Championship game last season, the Thunder did not disappoint this year. Highlighted by road victories over the Bellmore Braves and the Franklin Square Warriors and a home victory over the Hempstead Tigers, the 2022 regular season was an unbridled success. With their revamped offense, the Thunder were able to eclipse 20 points in three games this season, including a season high 26 points against Uniondale in week 4.

The Thunder defense was once again a force to be reckoned with, holding their opponents to one score or less in 5 of their 8 regular season contests, including a second consecutive shut-out of Hempstead dating back to the first round of the 2021 playoffs. The team saw the impressive development of newcomers Jaxson Pepicelli, James Livingston, Connor Fromkin, and Michael Fedor, alongside the growth of its “hardened veterans,” including Michael Kennedy and Andrew Bruno, who earned the Game Belt and the “Savage” player of the game, respectively, for their efforts against the Farmingdale Hawks and for their play during the season as a whole. The Thunder look to continue their pursuit of a championship when the playoffs kick-off next week. Go Thunder!

Andrew Bruno was recognized as the “Savage Player of the Game” and Michael Kennedy was awarded the “Game Belt” for their tough play against the Farmingdale Hawks.

Hajart 7s end the year with a win

Garden City’s offensive line gets a solid push as QB Luke Mooney fakes a handoff before he takes off for a touchdown.

The team was treated with an ice cream truck to celebrate the end of a great season!

The season came to a victorious end on Sunday as the Hajart 7s Thunder football team beat Long Beach 19-0. Garden City took control of the game early and never looked back. All of the scoring came in the first

half as Garden City raced out to a quick lead. Luke Mooney got the scoring started with a quarterback sweep that gave the boys an early lead. Johnny Coelen punched in the extra point to put Garden City up 7-0. On their second possession,

Wyatt Acquavito (4), Michael Noto (34), Jackson Weber (97), Joey Sileo (16) and Ben Finelli (24).

The defensive line of Teddy Delaney (55), Grant Thomas (17), Leo Szabo (64) and James Schrubbe (56) were solid all morning.

Hudson Overby brings down the Long Beach RB as the defense closes in.

Jackson Weber gets one of his three sacks on the day.

The team celebrates with Coach Wenzel and the team mascot, the “Wenzel Sauce” balloon. As the sun rose over Stewart Field on Sunday morning, Team Wenzel prepared to close out the season against Levittown. The game, though, was less important than the moment. It marked the final day of a long season. A season that began twelve weeks prior in the high heat of August when a group of boys gathered to try their hand at a sport that would push them to their physical and mental limits. It required hard work, dedication, sacrifice, late

nights, and early mornings. Now, here the boys stood, on a cold October morning, no longer individuals, but a united team working in unison towards a common goal - to get better every day. The opponent, yards gained, touchdowns scored, and overall record were irrelevant. What mattered on this Halloween eve was that each member of the team was ready to fight for the teammate beside them until the sound of the final whistle. And fight they did.

Coaches (left to right): Chris Ryan, James Mastaglio, head coach Eric Wenzel, Joe Brantuk Heartfelt thanks to the amazing coaching staff – head coach Eric Wenzel and assistant coaches Chris Ryan, James Mastaglio, and Joe Brantuk. Countless parents volunteered their time and energy proving true the adage

that it does in fact take a village. Sure, games were won and lost. More importantly, lives were shaped, friendships were made, enduring lessons were learned, and thousands of munchkins were consumed. Here’s to next year.

Hajart 7s end the year with a win nating force. The tight end play that sprung a number of runs was led by Brendan Reynolds, Michael Noto, James Schrubbe and Grant Michalak. The defense was once again phenomenal for Garden City. Line backers Wyatt Acquavito and Hudson Overby were a force to be reckoned with. Long Beach thought they found a weakness in the Garden City defense, but defensive guards Grant Thomas and Teddy Delaney put an end to the inside running plays. The defensive tackle play by Leo Szabo, who had a number of tackles for a loss, and Jackson Weber who had three sacks on the day, pushed the Long Beach offense back. The Garden City corners, led by Carter Dalessio and Aiden Charchalis, didn’t allow the Long Beach running backs to get outside all game long. The Hajart 7s’ three month journey is coming to an end, for now. The boys started off the season in the hot August sun worrying about the heat and the hel-

mets and the equipment, and they ended the season with a love for the game. They worked their tails off every week and it was only fitting that the season ended the way it did. A special thanks goes out to all the parents, they were there every week cheering on the boys. It takes a lot of time and dedication not only for the kids but for the coaches and the parents. Hopefully this is just the start of a long journey these boys will take together as Thunder football players.The season came to a victorious end on Sunday as the Hajart 7s Thunder football team beat Long Beach 19-0.

Cruising on the Galapagos Legend: Santiago Island BY KAREN RUBIN, DAVE E. LEIBERMAN, LAINI MIRANDA, ERIC LEIBERMAN & SARAH FALTER TRAVEL FEATURES SYNDICATE GOINGPLACESFARANDNEAR.COM On the second day of the four-day cruise aboard the Galapagos Legend, we sail on to Santiago island. Early in the morning, after a talk about snorkeling and getting outfitted with our gear, we have a dry landing at Bartolome island just off Santiago. We climb a long boardwalk, 372steps, over a barren landscape that evokes a moonscape, up to the summit for an iconic view overlooking the famous Pinnacle Rock and Santiago Island. On the way up, we get to see sea lions frolicking (courting, perhaps?) with each other, and on the way down, one perches on a deck, perhaps putting on a show for us, until another literally pushes it off (wanting attention?). When Darwin visited here on October 5, 1835, he encountered Spaniards who came to catch tortoises for food; he also found many land iguana which today are extinct. Goats, pigs and donkeys were released on the island in the 1800s, “causing havoc for the island ecosystem and many of its native species,” the Galapagos Conservancy, a US-based nonprofit, notes. “Goats destroy habitat, cause massive erosion, and compete with native herbivores, including the giant tortoise. Pigs dig up both giant tortoise and sea turtle nests and destroy both eggs and hatchlings, dig into Galapagos petrel nests in the highlands, and destroy other ground-nesting birds.

Exploring the lava field at Sullivan Bay on the second day of a four-day cruise aboard the Galapagos Legend © Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com Donkeys are particularly destructive to Opuntia cactus in the arid zones. The presence of these species on Santiago had created an ecosystem very different from the pristine condition.” (https://www.galapagos. org/about_galapagos/the-islands/) Today there are programs to eradicate the goats, which have provoked ire from animal rights groups. “Which would you prefer,” our guide, Billy, challenges, “penguins or goats? Penguins or cats? Flightless cormorants or dogs? We are sorry for animal-loving people, PETA” but the Galapagos has made its choice. Then we ride in the dinghy along the coast where we get a glimpse of the Galapagos penguin (one of 18 penguin species but the only one found this close to the Equator). We are returned to a beach on Santiago Island to snorkel and explore for an hour. (Those who don’t want to snorkel can take a

12-passenger glass bottom boat to observe the marine life). Naturalist Alejandro, who is also a Galapagos National Park ranger, tells us to look for sea turtles, rays, maybe a small reef shark and the Galapagos penguin. (Karen is so happy with her Olympus Tough6 waterproof, shockproof camera, though David got excellent video with his cellphone in a waterproof pouch). It is amazing to literally share the beach with sea lions. This also provides an opportunity to see the extraordinary Galapagos penguins; Sarah gets to swim with one. One of our group (we are Albatross; the other group is Booby) actually sees a white-tipped reef shark as he snorkels. In the afternoon after a wonderful lunch, we have a dry landing off the dinghy and into the water at Sullivan Bay (Santiago Island) – a fascinating geologic site of a relatively “young” pa-hoe-hoe lava flow that came from

10 km away. It is like being dropped into a sculpture of black swirls and shapes – an absolutely stunning and dramatic landscape. Billy explains the black is because of oxidation but the layers underneath still have the original reddish-mustard color. Billy says that when Darwin visited this very place, he estimated it formed only 200 years before and was spot on because scientists believe this land mass is a mere 350 years old. Now it seems virtually devoid of life – a moonscape - though when we look more carefully, we see the very beginnings of life taking hold: small mollugo plants beginning to grow out of fissures, a cactus, a locust flying by. There is no organic soil, no water, the food chain is poor, but that locust eats the little bush and drinks its liquid and becomes food for lava lizards. This is like what Galapagos would have been at the beginning, just the top of volcano above the surface and nothing living, he says. We are already witnessing the process of how the surface material will be broken down by lichens and eventually become soil. Lichens are key to “terraforming” this barren landscape. “Look for moisture from steam coming out from fissures – that’s where lichens colonized.” The lichens crack the rock and turn it into organic soil that can support a plant or tree. Come back in 500 years, he says, and there will be life. Billy tells us there used to be coal mining here, but after the National Park was established, the company Continued on next page

Today, the government has resisted permitting any kind of drilling, mining – for fresh water or for any of the valuable minerals that are likely in these islands, nor any of the resort or real estate development companies that would pay a small fortune for the rights to establish themselves here. The government has resisted all offers in order to preserve the Galapagos, “Nature’s Greatest Laboratory.” “We know the Ecuador government has pressure to build resort hotels. But Galapagos has been a UNESCO Heritage site since 1978 – even if a corrupt government would want to sell, it cannot. Politically and geographically, Galapagos belongs to Ecuador, but culturally, Galapagos belongs to world.” But a lot of celebrities and billionaires have been so moved by their experience, they deposit hefty checks on their way home. “Bill Gates wrote a check for $5 million and left it at one station.” Sullivan Bay was made famous because “Master & Commander” was filmed here – but the images of the ship were all digitized because the only boats allowed in the Galapagos have to come from here. Also, all the wood that is used to build boardwalks has to be already cut down – no living trees can be cut. Back on board, Alejandro gives a

talk about how the weather and currents are responsible for the unique life found in the Galapagos, and why, only in the Galapagos, can you see sea lions, penguins, tuna with parrot fish, angel fish and flamingoes. From December through May, the water temperature (avg. 76°F/25°C) and air temperature (avg. low/high 72-86°F/22-30°C) are slightly warmer. Seas tend to be calmer. Rainfalls are common for a short period of time each day, but the remainder of the day tends to be very sunny resulting in high humidity. Flowers come into bloom and vegetation is more colorful. This is a good time to observe birds mating or sea turtles nesting on the beaches. From June through November, when we visit, the Humboldt Current brings colder water (avg. 72°F/22°C) and cooler land temperatures (avg. low/high 66-79°F/19-26°C) It also brings nutrient-rich water that attracts fish and sea birds: albatross arrive on Española and penguins are easier to encounter. This is the mating season for blue-footed boobies. During this time of year clouds fill the sky and a misty rain called Garua is common. Winds tend to be stronger and seas a bit rougher. The abundant marine life makes this the preferred time of year for experienced divers. Alejandro tells us that the sunny, blue skies we have had are unusual for

this time of year (late August). Back on board the Galapagos Legend, we thoroughly enjoy relaxing on the deck, hanging out together – there are two hot tubs and a nice-sized pool, plus a fitness center, a library, a children’s playroom, and a gorgeous lounge where coffee, tea, hot chocolate and fresh fruit are always available. The M/V Galapagos Legend has 52 ocean view, air-conditioned cabins plus 3 interior ones, each cabin which can accommodate a matrimonial, double, triple or quadruple option, accommodating 100 passengers. The Balcony suites have private balconies and panoramic windows. The Junior suites have three meters of panoramic windows. Housekeeping is provided twice daily. You can use US plugs, and US currency. Our cabins on the Earth deck are gorgeous and spacious and can easily accommodate a triple. The ship is large enough to feel very comfortable and have all the amenities you would want in a luxury cruise, but small enough to feel intimate. The cuisine on board is superb (we especially love the BBQ banquet served alfresco on deck), how we are greeted on the return from our excursions and snorkeling with hot chocolate or tea and a snack, and how coffee, tea and fresh fruit are always available. There are special touches: we absolutely adore the electronic key-brace-

lets we wear throughout our stay (even snorkeling) so you never have to fish for a key; how they keep track that everyone is onboard with a computerized check-in.

Frugality on the Fun Meter of Life BY MARY HUNT I was not born with a natural bent toward frugality. Everything in me cries out to spend, acquire, spend, achieve, amass, spend, spend, spend! I am drawn to the extraordinary, the luxurious and the unique. I live with visions of grandeur and opulence. My fondest dreams include tailored clothing, domestic staffs, $600 silk bed sheets, manicured gardens, rich Italian leather, exotic cars, limousines and private jets. That’s just how I am. For me, practicing frugality is not really fun. Oh, there’s an occasional situation when scrimping might be slightly amusing, but on the fun meter of life, planning and budgeting, paring down, doing without when it seems that everyone else in the world is prospering beyond belief -- none of that can hold a candle to carefree shopping and living as if money were no object. Self-imposed financial limits are confining and often prevent the spontaneity and excitement of reckless abandon involving unlimited funds. My dilemma is that I do not have the means to indulge in a lifestyle equal to

my natural-born tendencies. Those of you familiar with my story know that my feeble attempts to play out my natural tendencies landed me in a lot of trouble. I took the treacherous path of incurring debt to acquire things I couldn’t afford. Living under mountains of ever-growing debt is not living; it feels like dying. So if living naturally brings pain but living frugally isn’t fun, is there any hope for the unnatural frugal type? Yes! It requires new behaviors. Voluntarily. Attitude is key. If you can change your attitude, everything else will follow. No one can do that for you because unless there is a heart change from deep inside, the behavior change will be neither genuine nor permanent. Here are some baby steps you can take to start the change.

DON’T CONFUSE FRUGALITY WITH POVERTY

The fear of feeling poor keeps many of us entrapped in financial bondage because the shopping and spending produce a false sense of richness. Both feelings are unfounded. Unless you are

a permanent resident of Burundi (one of the poorest countries in the world), you probably have no idea what “poor” really is. Frugality is a smart and dignified activity. It takes the ability to reason and apply self-discipline. Never forget that while you may not have it all, you have enough. And that’s more than many people in this world can say.

LEARN SELF-TALK

Non-frugal types often suffer from major cases of the I-wants whenever they find themselves within the vicinity of a mall or other commercial establishment, often resulting in compulsive purchasing. If this describes you, try a little shopping self-talk. Instead of coveting and envying every wonderful thing you see, assure yourself that if these things were really necessary (such as a kidney transplant or milk for the baby), you could find a way to purchase them. The necessity test usually dismisses the matter right then and there. If the desire still lingers, make yourself consider what would be required

if all those things really were yours. There’d be cleaning and maintenance, repairs and dusting, insuring and fueling and worrying about the possibility of theft, to say nothing of all of the packing required should you ever decide to move. By the time you get through that exercise, you should be sufficiently exhausted and thankful that you can enjoy those beautiful things without Continued on page 5

Admiring New England’s beautiful fall foliage BY CLAIRE LYNCH My friend, Taylor, and his wife, Julie, bought a house in Unity, Maine, two summers ago and he announced it to friends on social media. Knowing they’ve lived in Norwalk, Conn., for 35 years I was surprised until Taylor said it was their summer house. That made sense because I knew he was still working in Manhattan. Almost six hours by car from southern Connecticut, Unity would be a perfect getaway home for their family. Located in Waldo County, Unity is north of Augusta and south of Bangor. Taylor said friends could come visit. Fall with the changing color of the leaves would be great. My curiosity was piqued because I had been to Bangor years before but I hadn’t had a chance to explore some of the smaller towns and the coastline of Maine. Taylor and I had worked together in Manhattan for 10 years doing corporate PR then I moved on to a job on Long Island. We kept in touch and when I told Taylor that my friend, Emma, and I were taking a road trip to New England last October, he and Julie said, “Great, come on and visit!” We worked out the details of our visit and Julie gave us great directions to their Maine home. As we drove north on I-95, the leaves had started to turn and the fall foliage looked magnificent. I told Emma I was excited about seeing their house because in Taylor’s social media pictures I saw a good-sized river from their living room window. It turns out the Kennebec River is literally just outside their back yard. She agreed it would be an interesting trip and she mentioned wanting to take some side trips to coastal towns. Driving to Taylor and Julie’s house on Friday, we had a delicious dinner and the view of the river from their dining room was spectacular. Maine’s fall leaves made it even more impressive. Taylor tossed some logs into their fireplace and lighted it, so we felt warm despite the dropping temperatures of the evening. We told them we envied

the location of their house and Emma asked if they would retire there. Taylor said they were still thinking about it. He wouldn’t retire for several years so in the meantime they could enjoy Norwalk, Conn., and Unity, Maine. We chose a good time to go to Maine - it was cool but winter hadn’t arrived yet. Light jackets and sweaters did the trick and although we’re always impressed by Long Island’s changing leaves, New England’s fall foliage is always great. Reuniting and comparing notes was fun and Taylor and I pledged that we would only spend a few minutes talking about our former job and the colleagues we knew. He and I had a few laughs about some of our on-the-job pranks then Emma changed the subject. Ever the explorer, Emma brought up going to Belfast, Maine, the next day, and Taylor and Julie said they would join us. Taylor hopped into the driver’s seat that Saturday and we adjusted our first stop as we headed a little further southeast to Northport, Maine, just because we liked the sound of it. “It reminds me of Long Island,” Emma said and we all laughed, not knowing if it would be anything at all like Northport, LI. Northport, Maine, was quaint, just like Northport, LI, but each town has its unique personalities. Meandering around Northport, Maine, we found the Bayside Store which turned out to be a perfect place to stop for lunch. The four of us tried the Steak & Cheese Pizza which was tasty and something we’d never heard of before. After a relaxing lunch we headed back to Belfast and Julie suggested stopping at two shops she had visited before and liked. Coyote Moon is a cute clothing and accessories store in Belfast. After browsing Coyote Moon we headed to the Purple Baboon, a gift shop on Front Street. We had fun acting like tourists walking around, chit-chatting with the owner then picking out some souvenirs for our relatives back home. In late afternoon we drove back to Unity and Taylor and Julie surprised

us by having a BBQ dinner complete with a red and white tablecloth, ears of corn, a tossed salad and corn muffins on their enclosed porch. They brought the outside world in and sitting there admiring the Kennebec River up close and personally, we drank in the beauty of the area. Their dog, Copper, a gold retriever, loved jumping into a pile of leaves outside and watching him was funny. Julie explained that this 170-milelong river starts in Moosehead Lake to the northwest and empties into the Atlantic Ocean at Popham Beach in Phippsburg which is about 25 miles east of Portland. Taylor added that between 1782-1790 settlers slowly began to move into Unity. Around 1785 Lemuel and Benjamin Bartlett, two brothers from Plymouth, Mass., moved to Unity. Within a few years they were so well established they sent for their mother and father. Unity was officially incorporated as a town on June 22, 1804. Taylor, a history buff, had read the history of the town. It was interesting to hear their descriptions because we weren’t famil-

iar with that part of Maine. We took in some terrific water views on that trip and as we drove along many of the smaller roads, we saw the tall pine trees that Maine is known for. In the late afternoons when we saw the sun glistening through the yellow, orange and brown leaves, we were impressed. With a steaming hot mug of coffee in hand, watching the sun rise in the early mornings in Unity was breathtaking. I was glad we went at that time of the year although I bet summertime in Unity is great, also. Our trip to New England last fall was rewarding. We enjoyed spending time with Taylor and Julie and we had a chance to see what makes Maine so special.

No Social Security Taxes Means No Social Security Benefits BY TOM MARGENAU Q: My husband is a 58-year-old farmer. He is a very stubborn man. He is opposed to paying any kind of federal taxes, including Social Security taxes. He will do anything near the end of a year to show a loss on his farm. He will buy equipment. He will buy seed or fertilizer. He will do whatever it takes so he can show a loss on his tax return and therefore not have to pay any Social Security self-employment tax. He has been doing this all his adult life. He is also a very old-fashioned man. Even though I have a college degree in nursing, he will not let me work outside the home. I am 54 years old. So, we are approaching our senior years and I’m worried what’s going to happen to us financially. Will we be eligible for any kind of Social Security? I’ve heard of something called Supplemental Social Security for people who don’t qualify for Social Security. How does that work? A: I’ve met stubborn guys like your husband many times in my 50-year Social Security career. Or to be more precise, I usually meet the widow of guys like him who come to the Social Security office following his death wondering what benefits they might be due. They learn that because he didn’t put anything into the Social Security system, he (or the widow) won’t get a dime out of the Social Security system. That’s the fate that awaits you. So, I hope your husband has some investments or insurance or otherwise has put some money aside, because the two of you will get nothing from Social Security. You mentioned that other program that you mistakenly labeled “Supplemental Social Security.” I’m sure you are referring to the Supplemental Security Income program. SSI is a federal welfare program that is managed by the Social Security Administration. (As I always make clear to my readers, SSI is funded out of general tax revenues, not Social Security taxes.) SSI pays a small monthly stipend (currently less than $900 per month) to disabled people and to people over 65 who are poor. How poor? Well, you’d have to have less than $3,000 in assets. With the farm (and with all that equipment your husband is buying to avoid paying Social Security taxes), I am sure you guys would never qualify for SSI payments. So, all I can say to you is, “Good luck!” By the way. I showed your email to my wife, and she insists I add this to my answer. She said: “What do you mean your husband won’t LET you work? It’s your life and you should be able to make your own decision about working or not. Tom says that if you spend the next 10 years nursing, by the time you are 64 years old,

you will have earned a small but decent Social Security retirement pension. And you’d have your own income from your job during that time. Think about that.” Q: My husband and I own a small heating and air conditioning business in Northern California. We’ve been doing this for about 30 years. He does most of the physical labor. I do all the office work (except taxes, which our accountant does). My husband is 61 and I’m 57. We get occasional Social Security statements. He is scheduled to get $3,100 a month at age 67 and about $2,200 if he takes benefits at 62. My statement shows minimal earnings -- and all from before we were married -- but not enough to get my own Social Security. I remember reading past columns of yours about how moms often get the shaft (pardon my French!) in a mom-andpop business, but I can’t remember why that is. After all, we have been filing joint tax returns ever since we got married. Can you please explain again why his Social Security record is full and mine is virtually empty? A: Filing a joint tax return has nothing to do with the payment of self-employment taxes and the assignment of earnings for Social Security purposes. That happens with a tax form called the Schedule SE. And obviously, for all these years, your accountant has been putting only your husband’s name and Social Security number on that Schedule SE. That means all the earnings from the business end up on your husband’s Social Security record. (And by the way, your accountant isn’t the only one doing this. In my 50 years of working for the Social Security Administration or writing about Social Security issues, I’d guess that about 90% of the “pops” in mom-and-pop businesses get all the Social Security credits -meaning 90% of the “moms” end up with a blank Social Security slate like yours.) That’s the bad news. The good news is that it could work out for you, and that’s because you’ll get spousal benefits on your husband’s record. The combination of his high benefit and your spousal rate could end up netting you guys more money than you would have received if you had split the business earnings -- meaning you each could have ended up with two smaller retirement benefits. Also, assuming he dies before you do, your widow’s rate will be more because it will be based on his high retirement benefit. Q: My first husband and I ran a small business together for 25 years before we divorced about 10 years ago. We both remarried about two years later. I am now turning 62. My current husband is 58 and plans to work until age 70. My ex is 68. I don’t have my 40 quarters because my first husband took all the Social Security earnings from our business. Can I get

any of my first husband’s Social Security now, and later switch to benefits from my current husband? A: No, you can’t do that. As long as you’re married to husband No. 2, you can’t get any Social Security from No. 1. Your case provides a good example of how this tax-filing tactic of giving all the Social Security credit to pop in a momand-pop business can really mess mom up. You’re going to get absolutely no Social Security benefits for those 25 years you spent running that business with your ex. On top of that, you’re going to have to wait until your current husband files for his Social Security before you

can get benefits on his record. In fact, that might be an incentive for your husband to file at full retirement age rather than waiting until 70. 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.

Tradeoffs to consider in home sales BY PHILIP A. RAICES Most consumers, who were or are still looking to buy, are somewhat aware of what is occurring in our economy. Serious decisions for so many as to whether to buy or rent or just sit tight where they are have come into play over the last year as rates have doubled. Even when the desired home is found and there is an agreed and accepted price between seller and buyer this is the first step in the process. Next, an inspection needs to be completed to determine whether or not you are purchasing a “money pit” with thousands of dollars of additional costs creating an expense that you didn’t anticipate. Lately, most contracts are subject to an inspection, written mortgage approval, and of course your attorney’s review of all documents When the market was in a feeding frenzy, there were those buyers that waived their inspection as well as the mortgage contingency, leaving them in a some-what precarious position. This could be a real financial problem if any issues came about with the home or if they had to come up with more money if the appraisal was less than the selling price. Another question to ask yourself is should you lock in your interest rate right now anticipating another rate hike on November 1st? With all that being said, you need to be much more cognizant of what you are purchasing and the terms and conditions that you are agreeing to. Lately, I have seen that some sellers are now agreeing to a certain number of repairs or a credit towards fixing them. A few smart sellers are beginning to offer short-term 5-10 year financing with lower interest rates, just to make a transaction happen. As demand has been reduced by higher rates, sellers

must begin to think outside the box if they really have a need to sell. Then again, as I have mentioned in a previous column, those that might be hesitating to move due to leaving their low-interest mortgage to a new higher rate might find seller financing to be more advantageous with lower closing costs. If you are a real seller that doesn’t need all the proceeds upon the sale, then this is an opportunity to consider and become creative and earn a greater return than what a bank or credit union is offering and much less risk than trying to be a stock picker in the current market. If you have substantial capital gains, providing your purchaser a mortgage, and spreading out your taxable gains, over the term of the mortgage will enable you to not have to pay it all upfront. You now have security by being a lien holder in the first position, similar to a bank. Also, if the buyer wanted to extend the mortgage, then the seller’s capital gains could be spread out even further. This situation could be a real win/win for both seller and buyer and allow more homes to be sold. I would suggest that you discuss this with your CPA and financial planner and strategize this in advance to know your options and the best path to pursue. Throughout approximately the last 150 years real estate has returned on average 8%; but over the last 50 years a much higher return has been gained due to inflation and supply and demand economics, as per the Federal Reserve. Obviously, future returns

may not reflect past history. Bank of San Francisco (frbsf.org). So timing the market to purchase will never work and you have to determine whether buying and building long-term equity or renting now, and giving away money monthly (with increases); based on your family’s financial position and capability is in your best interest in building long-term wealth. Lastly, finding your first or next home in today’s environment may take longer, and realizing trade-offs will be part and parcel of the purchasing process. However, it is crucial for buyers and sellers to work with each other in a mutually beneficial pragmatic situation so this can inevitably conclude with more very happy endings. Tip of the Week: As leaves are falling, they are beginning to clog your gutters and leaders. You will need to regularly remove and clean them as necessary or consider installing screening or custom covers to eliminate the issue going forward. Clogged gutters could create greater damage, by having water back up inside your soffits and then inside your walls later on. Also, if you haven’t already, cover or store all your outdoor furniture, gas grill, and hoses.

Frugality on the Fun Meter of Life

I recently met a man whose wife works in a Nevada casino. She would put a roll of quarters into a slot machine every workday. He showed her that her weekly $50 could pay for the boat she really wanted in just two years if she would simply put the quarters in a savings account rather than in an electronic bandit. They now have their paid-for boat and she’s saving for her next dream,

having given up the slots completely. It was just a change of attitude. For me, practicing frugality is not always fun the way it must be for you natural-born tightwads. Actually, it’s rarely fun. But the results are so well worth the effort that I will never go back to the pain of living beyond my ability to pay. I haven’t bounced a check in 34 years. I have savings and investments. I buy with cash. I have no credit card debt. I don’t dread evening phone calls and I no longer have to hide the mail and shopping bags. Now that I think about it, there are many things I’ve been called to do in my life that aren’t particularly fun -- such as dental visits, childbirth, cleaning toilets and weeding.

Total Lunar Eclipse BY DENNIS MAMMANA Week of November 6-12, 2022 Night owls and insomniacs will be the only people to see a remarkable sky show next week. Why? Because for much of North America, the full moon will be experiencing one of nature’s great sky shows during the wee hours of Tuesday, Nov. 8: a total lunar eclipse. Most skywatchers will see the start of this eclipse (weather permitting), but depending on where you live, you may see only a portion of the event. In general, the farther west you live, the more of the eclipse you will see before the moon sets. A lunar eclipse occurs when the full moon slips into the shadow of the Earth far out in space. This occurs every six months or so when the sun, moon and Earth are aligned. Sometimes the moon only partly enters this shadow, and we see what’s called a partial eclipse. Other times it passes closer to the shadow’s center and we see the moon fully engulfed: a total lunar eclipse. And that’s just what will happen on the morning of Nov. 8. At 12:02 a.m. PST (3:02 a.m. EST) the moon will enter the Earth’s light outer shadow called the penumbra, but this is so thin that no one will notice a darkening of the moon’s appearance.

Within an hour or so, that will change. As the moon approaches the dark inner shadow of the Earth, known as the umbra, skywatchers will notice the eastern side of the moon beginning to darken slightly. The real show begins at 1:08 a.m. PST (4:08 a.m. EST) when the moon officially enters the umbra. No one gazing skyward will have any doubt that a “bite” has been taken out of the moon -- a bite that will grow larger with each passing minute. For more than an hour, the moon will dim as it enters more deeply into our planet’s umbra until 2:59 a.m. PST (5:59 a.m. EST) when it reaches its maximum eclipse. Eclipse watchers on the East Coast will have a treat as they watch the partially eclipsed moon descending over the western horizon. During mid-eclipse, the moon will take on a strange coppery hue because sunlight passing through our atmosphere is reddened and bent inward toward the darkened surface of the eclipsed moon. At 3:42 a.m. PST (6:42 a.m. EST), the moon will begin to recede from the shadow. The partial phase will last until 4:49 a.m. PST (6:49 a.m. CST). Unlike an eclipse of the sun, a lunar eclipse is perfectly safe to view without protective filters. Your eyes are all you need, but you’ll have even more fun with binoculars or a small telescope.

If the sky is cloudy that morning, or if you live in an area where it won’t be visible, you can watch a livestream of the eclipse. Visit timeanddate.com and click on “Solar and Lunar Eclipses” to find details for your location as well as links to view it live online. If you miss this sky show, North

Americans will have to wait a year for the next partial lunar eclipse visible here, and two and a half years for the next total lunar eclipse. Visit Dennis Mammana at dennismammana.com. COPYRIGHT 2022 CREATORS.COM

During mid-eclipse, the moon will take on a strange coppery hue because sunlight passing through our atmosphere is reddened and bent inward toward the darkened surface of the eclipsed moon.

L O S T I N S U B U R B I A

Feeling Melon-choly BY TRACY BECKERMAN In the world of melons, you’ve basically got your cantaloupes, your honeydews and your watermelons. You can generally expect the cantaloupes to be on the smaller size, watermelons to be large and the honeydews somewhere in between. So, it can be very disconcerting when one day you order a cantaloupe from the supermarket, and it doesn’t arrive the size of a cantaloupe. It doesn’t arrive the size of a watermelon. It arrives the size of a Buick. “Oh my gosh, look at the size of this cantaloupe,” I exclaimed to my husband as I struggled to lift the ginormous piece of fruit out of the shopping bag. “Are you sure that’s not a watermelon?” he asked. “No, it’s definitely a cantaloupe,” I said. “Well, why did you order such a big one?” he asked. “It’s just for the two of us.”

“I didn’t expect it to be so big. I had no idea I was ordering a mutant melon from outer space. It just showed up that way.” “It’s going to go to waste,” he said. “We’ll never eat all that cantaloupe.” I shook my head. “Oh, we’ll eat it,” I said. “And we’ll like it!” I insisted. I was not one to shy away from a challenge. I would not be bested by a piece of fruit. We had been gifted an ubermelon and we were going to eat the ubermelon if it killed us. “It’s going to take us a year to eat that,” he said. “Oh, don’t go making melons out of molehills,” I replied. “We’ll just have a little at a time.” I was confident in this plan. But talking about eating a giant cantaloupe and actually eating a giant cantaloupe are two very different things. First, I had to cut it up, which took the better part of the morning. Then I had to find containers big enough to house mass

amounts of cantaloupe. Then I had to make room in the fridge for an army of cantaloupe. By the time I was done with the whole cantaloupe prep, I was too tired to actually eat any. So, I made my husband. “Hey, what’s for lunch?” he wondered. “Cantaloupe,” I said. “And then there’s cantaloupe for dessert. But it’s early. Do you want a snack to hold you over?” “Sure,” he said. “Great,” I replied. “Have some cantaloupe!” “Hmmm...” he said. “I’m sensing a theme here.” “Then for dinner I thought I might make a cantaloupe salad and a cantaloupe gazpacho, and maybe a cantaloupe souffle,” I told him. “Is that all?” he said. “How about some cantaloupe shish kebab?” I asked, holding up a piece of cantaloupe on a stick.

He waved me away. “I just can’t... aloupe.” “You know,” I said, “In the scheme of things, this cantaloupe isn’t really that big.” “How do you figure?” he wondered. “Well, I just read that there’s a pumpkin in Minnesota that weighs 2,500 pounds. That’s enough pumpkin pie for a small village.” “That’s great, honey,” he said. “After the villagers finish their pumpkin pie, invite them over here for some cantaloupe.” Tracy Beckerman is the author of the Amazon Bestseller “Barking at the Moon: A Story of Life, Love, and Kibble,” available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble online!

8th Grade Football team soars past Seahawks The GC 8th Grade Football team arrived at Levittown High School ready to preserve their perfect record so far this season. The Salk Middle School Seahawks made sure that was not going to be an easy task. A huge 45-yard TD run by Matteo Ingrassia one-minute into the first quarter plus a successful point after kick by Diego Dersch put GC up 8-0, but the Trojan defensive line was tested in a big way. The Seahawks strictly resorted to a running game and kept pounding the defensive line. GC was able to stop a touchdown attempt but gave up a safety to put the score at 8-2. The Seahawks capitalized on that momentum to score a TD. With a missed extra point kick, the score was 9-8 Seahawks at the end of the first quarter. Trailing on the scoreboard for the first time all season, GC was finally tested. Would the weeks of long practices and training give them the grit they needed to make a comeback. IT SURE DID! The Trojans were reenergized by a 4th down conversion by Gus Galli to reset the down count. Andrew Dengler caught a perfect pass by QB Brayden Robertiello to run for 25 yards to put GC up 16-9 at halftime. The second half started off with a Jack LeSueur fumble recovery to set up a 50-yard sprint by Ingrassia to put another TD on the board to seal the win. The final score was GC 22, Seahawks 9. Next up is the final game of the season (and the boys’ Middle School football careers) against Manhasset away at 4:45 p.m. on Tuesday, November 1.

The whole team celebrates a fun season. The Hansman 9 Thunder Team completed its regular season on a high note, stomping Long Beach 14-0 at home and finishing the season 4-4. It was another shutout for the team! Quarterback Michael Rendino was flawless in his first start. He commanded the line of scrimmage with clean handoffs and a completed pass to TE Henry Smith. Great blocking by the line and long rushing gains by Luke Gentile and Declan Carroll made for tough day for Long Beach. RB Christian

Canner started off the scoring early in the game with a 75-yard run up the middle leaving defenders in his rear-view mirror. Big blocks by Declan Crowell, Kieran Mckay Charlie Linchitz and Jackson Candan cleared the way! Ryan Carey gave the team all the security they would need for their second score on a 25-yard left side sweep. Tanner Schoelle added his second extra point of the game on a stiff-arm sweep. On the defensive side of the ball many tackles were made by Bennett Horn,

Jack Nardo (77) earned the pancake award, Christian Canner (31) earned the Hard Hat and Michael Rendino (97) earned the Game Ball. Brayden Hansman, Tristan Keeby, Gabe Lagonikos and Liam Nguyen. Sean Taylor and John Holden played tough defense to help hold the Long Beach team scoreless. Jack Carr and Ryan Fruzzetti locked down the corners closing down any threat to the outside. Other exciting highlight plays

were made on defense by James Donaghy with an interception and Chris King with a fumble recovery. The Hansman team has a bye next week and awaits its fate for a potential postseason berth.

Thunder 8s go head-to-head in thrilling season finale

Team Reilly. It was a family affair Sunday morning at Stewart Field, as both Thunder 8s teams played a thriller of a final game - against each other. In the end, Thunder Diez 8s edged out Thunder Reilly 8s with a score of 13-12, driving the ball down the field for a game-ending touchdown to come from behind and win the first Thunderbowl match-up of the season.

Team Diez. At the start of the game, both Thunder 8s teams ran out on the field together, lining up for the coin toss. Throughout the game, both teams were solid at every position, keeping it a close and exciting game. On the defensive end, 4th down stops for Reilly's 8s made it hard for the Diez 8s to build early momentum, while the Diez 8s refused to give up any PATs

and forced a key turnover in the 2nd half. The O-line on both sides created some great opportunities, with big blocks to open lanes for their runners and protecting their QBs as they executed some nice pass plays. Both teams were very evenly matched, scoring two TDs a piece, with the early PAT for the Diez 8s turning out to be the deciding factor of the game.

Immediately following the game, both Thunder 8 teams hosted an end-of- season celebration for the teams and their families. A wonderful time was had by all, as they celebrated another year being part of the Thunder family. One thing is for sure—the kids have all won a great group of friends who now all continue on to the first round of the NCYFL playoffs

Pure joy as teammates rush goalie and captain MacKenzie Wehrum after the victory!

Nassau County Champions! The Garden City field hockey team (14-1) captured its 10th straight Nassau Class B crown and 28th time in 29 years. The girls will face Rocky Point (13-4-1) in the Long Island Class B Championship on Thursday, November 3rd at Berner Middle School.

Semifinals

On Saturday, October 29, the Garden City varsity field hockey team won their first playoff game, the semifinals, against North Shore 5-1, which gave them a record of 13-1. The game was a team effort. In the first quarter with 28 seconds left on the clock, Captain Marie Cacciabaudo scored the first goal with an assist from Katie Heckelmann over the goalies head in a corner that was successfully passed six times before being hit by Cacciabaudo. The second goal was scored by Arcangela Haffner off a corner from Hackelmann’s assist. In the beginning of the third quarter, Tara Hollis in the upper right corner of the field, hit the ball through an opponent’s legs, got the ball away from a defender and crossed the ball, which passed two defenders on its way to the

middle of the net where Heckelmann was able to get the ball past a defender and into the net. In the fourth quarter, captain Sheila Mullins stopped a ball being cleared by North Shore at mid field, dribbled pass an opponent to open space and passed the ball on the right to captain Rory Heslin on the run who turned and struck the ball for a goal far post. Late in the fourth quarter the fifth goal was scored when North Shore’s attempt to clear the ball was stopped by Katherine O’Hanlon who passed to Heckelmann who scored. captain MacKenzie Wehrum’s defenders Maureen Arendt, Gemma Cowie, Nichole Nallan and Katherine O’Hanlon were equally fierce in defending their goal.

County Finals

On Monday, October 31, Garden City and Manhasset faced off for the third and final time this season. Garden City and Manhasset split the two-game series during the regular season, with the second game decided in overtime. The girls played a physical game to meet Manhasset head on. Each girl per-

GCHS Boys Soccer are headed to the Nassau County Finals after their 1-0 victory over Mepham last Friday night. A tighter match than the bracket seeding indicated, as the score was 0-0 at halftime. Garden City’s defense was

at bay. Goalie James Castoro came up with a steller save in the final minutes to hold the score at 1-0 and seal the win for Garden City. The Trojans face Glen Cove in a rematch of the 2021 Nassau County

Team celebrates with their biggest fans.

10th straight Nassau County Title for Field Hockey fectly played her part to lead the team to victory. Knowing Manhasset plays strong in the first half, the team came out strong in the beginning of the game. With eight minutes into the county final, Tara Hollis intercepted a ball at mid field, dribbled up the field, dodged a defender and passed to Sarah Kade. Kade, who had been keeping pace with Tara, went one on one with the goalie and shot through the legs. In the second

quarter, midfielder Arcangela Haffner made the insert pass to captain Marie Cacciabaudo off Garden City’s second corner. Captain Rory Heslin then sent the ball high and Hollis knocked the ball out of the air before tapping it past the keeper for a 2-0 lead. Despite the two goal lead, Manhasset cut the lead in half with five minutes left in the game making the score 2-1. Garden City played tight defense

for the remainder of the game as Manhasset increased the pressure in the Lady Trojans’ end. Garden City kept possession for most of the final four minutes to secure the win. Captain MacKenzie Wehrum had a great game in goal with four saves. The game was another memorable performance by the Lady Trojans. Congratulations to the players and coaches Lauren Lavelle, Justine

DeLuca, Janet Rogler and Melissa Camberdella of the varsity girls’ field hockey team on winning the Nassau B County Championship! Their next game is for the Long Island Championship, Thursday, November 3, at Berner Middle School against Rocky Point.

The GC Girls Advance to the Finals

On Wednesday, October 26, the Trojans accomplished something that they have not done in a very long time, make it to the finals! Although the GCHS girls varsity soccer program is very strong year after year, they have had a hard time making it past the semifinals. The Trojans 5-0 win against Long Beach Wednesday night in the semifinals secured their appearance in

the Nassau County Class A Championship game for the first time in many years. This semifinal game was literally a battle and a true test of the physical toughness of our players. Despite the physical play by Long Beach, the Trojans dominated the first half, outshooting Long Beach 17-2. However, not until five minutes left in the first half were the Trojans able to find the back of the net. The first goal of the game was a beautiful header by Bella Vona

Their play was so dominant that Long Beach could not really even gain possession. The Trojans scored four goals within the first twenty minutes of the sec-

ond half. The GC midfield, led by Maya Costa, Catherine Hayes and Chloe Benik, used their skills and their smart play to dominate the scrappy Long Beach team. The way the Trojans were able to move the ball, set up plays and work together as a team was just so pretty to watch.

Captains Maya Costa, Ariana Bransfield and Catherine Hayes. Photo courtesy of @izzyjoudehphotography This game was a team effort. The midfield had a strong game setting up plays and helped to keep the ball in the Trojans possession. The offense which is led by juniors Emily Romeo, Bella Vona, Riley Donohue and sophomore Kathryn Monaco were relentless with the pressure that they put on Long Beach. Our defense, which is led by Ariana Bransfield, Ava Lekanides, Lauren Hohenberger and goalie Marissa Patrissi played a tough game as usual and shut out the Long Beach offense. Maya Costa led the team with three assists in the game. Costa set up goals by Bella Vona, Riley Donahue and Emily Romeo. Kathryn Monaco and Elizabeth Gaffney also each added a goal with assists from Catherine Hayes and Brianna Ciccone. This dominant victory advanced the Trojans to their first Nassau County Championship appearance since 2016.

The GC Girls Season Ends in the Finals vs MacArthur HS

On Saturday, October 29, at 1 p.m. in Cold Spring Harbor the Trojans season sadly came to an end in the girls soccer Nassau County Class A Championship game. MacArthur (#1 seed) had an early and unfortunate goal while the Trojans (#2 seed) were playing into the sun. This put the Generals ahead 1-0 and the GC girls had a hard time recovering from this early goal. Saturday just wasn't the day that the Trojans had hoped for. The GC girls were unable to penetrate the Generals backline and were only able to put five shots on goal. Although our girls played with so much heart all season long, they just had a very tough day. The Generals added a second goal with 16 minutes left in the second half and this secured the victory for MacArthur. The Generals strong defense have only let up one goal all season long

and that goal was by our very own captain Catherine Hayes in our last game of regular season play. Although the Trojans were very disappointed not to take home the Nassau County Championship, they had an incredible season and they have a lot to be proud of. As mentioned earlier, just making it to the Finals was a huge accomplishment for the GCHS Girls Varsity Soccer program. This team played some beautiful soccer all season long. They played with class, with heart, with skill, and as a TEAM. The team scored 61 goals in eighteen games which is a statistic unmatched by any other team. The Trojans had three shutouts during their playoff run and each team they shut out had one of the top scorers in Nassau County on their team. Our defense was incredible, only allowing 13 goals all season long. Finishing second in the top division in Nassau County with a record of 13-3-2 is

not an easy task, and it is something to be very proud of. More importantly than any statistic or any trophy however is the amazing friendships and memories that were made throughout the course of the season. The seniors on the team (Maya Costa, Ariana Bransfield, Catherine Hayes, Elle Basile, Meghan McQuaid, Hailey Chicco, Katie Gaven, Katerina Smolanick, Ava Lekanides, Melissa Bass, Devon Etienne, Annie Cunningham and managers Fiona Nicholas and Isabella O´Connor) will be tremendously missed and the culture that they created is something that they should take pride in. All of the players on this team have become role models to the younger soccer players in this town. A huge thank you to captains Catherine Hayes, Maya Costa and Ariana Bransfield for their leadership all season long. And a very special thank you to Coach Heedles and Coach McAuley for a season that this group will never forget.
