Village hosts 100th anniversary commemoration of Rainbow Division BY RIKKI N. MASSAND

As a crowd of nearly 400 people gathered off of Clinton Road, just south of the fire station, the pageantry of American flags, assembled soldiers and patriotism captured a summer Saturday afternoon in Garden City. Mayor Brian C. Daughney was joined by Deputy Mayor Theresa Trouvé, Trustee Mark Hyer and Trustee Stephen Makrinos in welcoming distinguished guests from all around the country. Superintendent of Public Works and Deputy

Village Administrator Joseph DiFrancisco stood nearby, in between the Board of Trustees and the military and National Guard dignitaries, the Garden City Fire Department and GCPD personnel on hand. But every face in the crowd gathered for different reasons, from their own personal service or their fallen family members to curiosity and tracing local history. The O’Sullivan family lives walking distance from the memorial, over on Raymond Court. In the last 23 years they raised three children here, and

their youngest just graduated from NYIT in the spring. They value the history of Garden City, as the Mott section houses were where military officers’ headquarters stood. Their own street was on a picture displayed next to the Rainbow Monument at the August 12 ceremony, as Michael O’Sullivan said the original officers’ housing had been relocated and is now a private home at the end of the block. They also noted the original Vanderbilt (Long Island) See page 30

Adelphi University will be bringing an application for expanding a key facility to the village’s Architectural Design Review Board (ADRB) when it meets on Tuesday, August 22, and to the Village Board of Trustees at its September 21 meeting. The first step was approval gained from Garden City’s Planning Commission through a 6-0 vote at its August 9 meeting. The ADRB’s agenda for Tuesday August 22 lists plans on file from Hans Erdenberger R.A. for the west side of the university’s Ruth S. Harley University Center (a student center), adding the 6,200 square feet. Last Wednesday night at Village Hall, Robert Shipley, Adelphi’s assistant vice president for facilities, addressed the Planning Commission. Adelphi and its architecture team laid out a new floor plan for the center, including a part of its exterior greenspace which Shipley says is rarely used. Better use of space was planned as Shipley said the scope of the project is to upgrade the indoor, first-floor dining facility for students, faculty and staff at Adelphi. “There will not be any increases in enrollment because of this. Mostly what’s driving the space requirements is a change in the floor plan of the building. To give students more variety we are splitting out the large dining area to sit separate island stations as opposed to one general line-form cafeteria. We are also giving the bookstore, which is currently on our lower level, some space on the main floor for added visibility. With some reconfigurations, the floor plan requires and the program requires that we expand on the west side of the building,” Shipley told the Planning Commission. Commission Chairman H. Bradford Gustavson asked if increasing the cafeteria options and space would create more waste at the end of each day. Shipley says he doesn’t think that would become an issue due to any dramatic increase. Adelphi’s architect explained that the loading dock area for the student center is going to be expanded with the new floor plan, “wrapping it around to the addition.” However the building’s overall footprint, situated behind berms just adjacent to South Avenue in the village, would not change at all. The Commission asked if expanded refrigeration units would fall within the existing setback lines from South Avenue. Shipley said nothing would be moved past where the existing building’s borders lie. The substantial new refrigeration, to be used only for See page 30

A WORD FROM THE PUBLISHER

Rep Rice is right

In June, National Rifle Association spokeswoman Dana Loesch released a recruitment video that sounds like a call to violence against those who protest the alt-right and the president. She mockingly claims that "they" manipulate the media to make false claims of racism and sexism etc. In the video, Loesch says "The only way we stop this... is to fight this violence of lies with the clenched fist of truth." A second video attacks the New York Times in particular for bias and Loesch says "Consider this the shot across your proverbial bow." She ends the video by saying ominously "We're coming for you." Both ads end with the NRA logo. U.S. Congresswoman Kathleen Rice, who represents Garden City, took a stand on Twitter against the NRA's

bullying tactics, calling the NRA and Loesch "domestic security threats". Not surprisingly, the Loesch has attacked back on Twitter, challenging Rice to have her arrested. Rep. Rice was absolutely right to call out Loesch on the tone and content of her videos. It is highly irresponsible to make such thinly veiled threats of violence, especially given the political landscape right now. Many NRA members have denounced the videos, although some are doubling down on the message in them. We hope the NRA retracts them and repudiates Loesh's comments. We appreciate Rep. Rice's courage to stand against the NRA and we stand with her.

Reading is fundamental for the agents at Douglas Elliman’s Garden City office, who have collected more than a thousand books for The Book Fairies, a Long Islandbased not-for-profit organization that collects reading materials for people in need. The ongoing project has so far yielded approximately 80 boxes of books to date and has involved the entire community--Douglas Elliman agents and their clients, Garden City residents, and even area high school students who have earned their service credits for high school. “Every day people drop off more books,” says Nancy Peppard of Douglas Elliman Garden City. “It’s a wonderful thing to be able to help and to bring so many people together.”

Friends of Mercy Medical Center Golf Classic The Friends of Mercy Medical Center 36th Annual Golf Classic will be held on Thursday, September 14th at the Garden City Country Club. The event will honor Donald H. Regan, a consultant in sales and portfolio risk. A Rockville Centre resident for over thirty years, Don endeavors to improve his community. While Don has displayed financial talent throughout his career he is even more dedicated to his philanthropic work. Don came to Mercy over 20 years ago spearheading several projects including the Mercy Fund drive in the 1990’s. He is a devoted board member of the Friends of Mercy Medical Center and has worked with the Friends to provide millions in support for the medical center. Don has been on the Board of Swim Across America, Nassau Suffolk since 2001. His philanthropic work also includes supporting the De Lasalle School in Freeport, Habitat for Humanity and the Harlem Children’s Zone, as well as being on the educational advisory boards for Kent State’s financial engineering graduate program, and the advisory committee for the entrepreneurial portfolio management at Holy Cross College – his alma mater. Don is most proud of his loving wife Jill, and his six sons. They are blessed with three daughters in law and are the proud grandparents of seven grandchildren This year’s Golf Classic is chaired by Michael J. Boranian of Rockville Centre, partner at Montfort, Healy, McGuire & Salley in Garden City.

“We’re looking forward to a successful Golf Classic, we have a great committee and their enthusiasm will help make this a fantastic event,” said Mr. Boranian. Proceeds from the 36th Annual Golf Classic will go towards Mercy Medical Center’s recently purchased molecular breast imaging (MBI) machine, Mercy is the first hospital in New York state to feature this ground breaking technology. MBI is revolutionizing women’s imaging through the use of a radioactive tracer and special camera to detect breast cancer despite dense breast tissue, which applies to 50% of women. This is the first innovative technology in breast imaging in years and can help in the fight to reduce breast cancer deaths. Coupled with 3-D tomosynthesis imaging, another leading technology, MBI allows Mercy the ability to better detect cancer to save lives. Mercy is recognized as a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence by the American College of Radiology, offering a range of imaging options for breast health. At Mercy, we are committed to offering excellence in care to our patients, using the most modern imaging equipment to assist physicians in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. This year’s event sponsor is Progressive Emergency Physicians. For information on the tournament and individual packages, please contact Gloria DiSciullo, 516-705-2618 or Gloria.Disciullo@chsli.org.

Garden City Casino holds annual Lobsterfest

The Garden City “A” Swim team’s season culminated in a final victory on Sunday, August 13, when the team locked down their fifth consecutive 1st place finish at Champs! This was a huge accomplishment for the team, especially when combined with the fourth-consecutive undefeated regular season! As Coach Andrew indicated, this was a team effort, and every single team member contributed! A big congratulations goes out to all of the swimmers who competed at Champs, and a particularly special congratulations goes to the boys medley relay team of Jake Newmark, Andrew Sallusto, John Protano, and Liam Gaffney who broke the Nassau Municipal Swim Conference Div. 1 Senior Medley Relay record with a time of 1:44.85! Although this year marked the final year for the senior team members--which include: John Protano, George Germano, Evan Jozkowski, Liam Gaffney, and Jessica Pedone--many of the younger team members appear ready to fill the void well into the future. Waking up early over summer vacation to go to an oftentimes cold pool demonstrated the hard work and dedication of all of the team members. An extra special thank you to the coaches--Caitlin, Matt, and Andrew! The constant improvement of each swimmer from week-to-week is evidence of your dedication and ability to bring out the best in each individual, as well as the team. Congratulations, team, on a job well done!

BY GABBY TABBY Bike stolen: On August 10th a children’s bicycle was reported stolen from the sidewalk in front of a Kensington Road residence. Attempted burglary: On August 11th at approximately 4:20 a.m. the residents at a St. Paul’s Place home heard a noise outside. A man was then seen on their property and he fled when confronted by them. Officers responded and determined the subject had attempted to enter the residence by cutting the screens to two windows. During this investigation, the Garden City Police Department received a call about a strange vehicle parked in a Rockaway Avenue driveway. The patrol sergeant responded and observed the vehicle with a subject in the driver’s seat matching the subject’s description from St Paul’s Place. The sergeant blocked the vehicle as it attempted to back out of the driveway but the driver jumped out of the vehicle and fled the scene on foot. An extensive search including Nassau Aviation and Canine was conducted, however the subject was not apprehended. Police say the vehicle in question was stolen earlier at a Tanners Pond Road residence. A set of golf clubs found in the recovered vehicle was determined to be stolen from a vehicle parked at a different

Tanners Pond Road residence. The investigation is ongoing. Water main break: G a r d e n City Police assisted the Water Department with a water main break on Kildare Road on August 11th. Stolen car: On August 12th a vehicle was reported stolen from a Transverse Road residence. A Garden City detective found the vehicle parked unoccupied on West Marshall Street in Hempstead. The investigation is ongoing. Criminal mischief: On August 12th Garden City Police investigated a criminal mischief report at a 10th Street residence where a lawn statue was found damaged. Identity theft: On August 12th Officers investigated an identity theft in which someone made multiple unauthorized purchases totaling more than $3,100 against two credit cards a resident ordered from a credit card company but never received through the mail.

Criminal contempt: On August 15th Garden City detectives arrested a 31 year old Smithtown man for violating a court order by allegedly texting his ex-girlfriend numerous times and illegally logging into her cell phone account to view her call and text data. He was charged with Criminal Contempt and Unauthorized Use of a Computer. Tree down: On August 15th Garden City Police safeguarded Washington Avenue after a large tree limb fell onto the road.

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

Stop sign or speeding situation. Here is another one for thought. In the last week we had three cars stolen from driveways during the night. In all three instances the keys were in the cars! Yes, you are reading correctly, the keys were in the cars. Our police believe that the criminals most probably were looking for spare change, or a cell phone to take. But they hit the bonanza. If the keys were not in the car, no stolen car! If the car was locked, no stolen cell phone! In one instance, the stolen car was used during an attempted break-in elsewhere in the Village. So please, lock your car doors and keep keys in the house. Then you will prevent both petty crimes and more serious car thefts and potential other crimes and our police can focus on more important issues.

Our Police are Here to Help

Possible Changes to the Village Building Code

Our Board members often hear from residents that they think we do not have proper or enough police presence. We have a terrific police force. They have great response times, are constantly patrolling even if you don't see them (yes we have unmarked cars too) and are here to help. We have, in fact, hired an outside consultant to assist us with some legal strategy issues related to our police force, which will help us, among other things, identify possible procedural or operational improvements that perhaps we should implement. We are also hoping to implement the use of additional cameras in various places, including neighborhoods and parking lots. In no way are we reducing the size of the force. As previously reported, we are considering adding to the size of the force. Presently we have a force of 52 active officers. But our police and no amount of additional police officers can prevent every speeding car or Stop sign violation or more importantly, every theft. We offer for your consideration some simple, normal preventive steps that every household can take to prevent crime and make our Village safer for everyone, and which will also allow our force to be more effectively deployed. For one, how about if you stop speeding? Let us be realistic - it is not just non-residents who speed up and down Nassau Boulevard or along Stewart Avenue. Also, stop blowing through Stop signs because you are late getting your child to lacrosse practice. Placing a Stop sign at every corner does not work. Further, as Village residents we could never foot the tax bill that would be required to have enough police to cover every

The Board and our Building Department are frequently considering changes to our building permit procedures. We are currently considering changes that would limit the length of time that building permits may remain active. For example, in a new building situation for a residential home, we are considering that permits will only be valid for two years from the date of grant. As currently drafted, an extension of time is possible but only if the work has been substantially completed. For smaller jobs or standalone permits (i.e. plumbing, fence, mechanical and electrical), those permits would only be active for six months. These permits can also be extended with substantial progress prior to the expiration date. If the permit expires, all new application fees will be required. We are considering this change because we believe, and residents have complained, that projects go on for too long. This change will also prevent construction sites from being used for storing materials and other construction equipment with no active construction. We are also considering changes that deposits will be forfeited if work permits are not closed out after a certain period of time. In far too many circumstances, we have permits that remain open for years and home ownership changes and contractors come and go, and our Building and Finance Departments cannot track these deposits over time without unnecessary use of manpower resources. This will include older, outstanding permits if not closed by a set date that will be determined when the local law is

from page 12 discussed and enacted.

Change to Refuse Collection Rules

We are considering changing our garbage and refuse collection rules. For example, we are considering instituting formal prohibitions, backed by fines, to stop persons from taking recyclables from containers left for collection. There is more to come on this point.

Road Resurfacing Schedule

The following update is regarding the 2017 Road Resurfacing Project, which began July 24, 2017: Monday, August 21, 2017: • Pratt Brothers will hand out notices on Brompton Road for milling on Tuesday. Tuesday, August 22, 2017: • Pratt Brothers will be milling Brompton Road and Merillon Avenue (cut through). Merillon Avenue (cut through) will be closed during construction and a traffic detour will be set up. Temporary road closures may occur on Brompton Road to allow work to be done. The road will be open for emergency vehicles. • Valente Contracting will hand out notices on Euston Road to begin curb, apron and sidewalk repairs. Wednesday, August 23, 2017:

• Pratt Brothers will be preparing Brompton Road and Merillon Avenue (cut through) for paving (i.e. casting adjustments, base repair, chipping and chopping). Merillon Avenue (cut through) may be closed and a traffic detour set up depending on what preparation work needs to be done. Brompton Road may have temporary road closures to allow work to be done. Brompton Road will be accessible for emergency vehicles. • Valente Contracting will begin curb, apron and sidewalk repairs on Euston Road. Work will begin on the east side of Euston Road at Main Avenue and head south to North Avenue. Temporary road closures may occur to allow work to be done. The road will be accessible for emergency vehicles. Residents should note that this schedule is subject to change and is weather permitting. As we have previously discussed, the Village policy on sidewalk replacement has been in effect for decades. Residents are required to pay for sidewalk replacement. This often comes into play when a street is repaved, as we tend to focus on the sidewalk conditions at the same time. Since roads are usually replaced every 15-20

years, residents seem to view sidewalk replacement policies as something new because they have not had to deal with it. These policies are not new. Please view the policies here.

Ceremony Pays Tribute to 42nd Rainbow Division

A beautiful ceremony marked the 100th anniversary of the 42nd Infantry Division's establishment and deployment from Camp Mills, located in the southeast area of Garden City during World War One. Hundreds gathered at the newly restored Rainbow Division Memorial Monument on St. James Street South Saturday, August 12, 2017 to commemorate the occasion. A cake cutting ceremony immediately followed at the Senior Center on Golf Club Lane. To view photos of the ceremony, click here.

Best Wishes to Students

Throughout the next two to three weeks, many of our young people will be leaving for college. Some will leave for the first time; others will leave to conclude course requirements that will lead to undergraduate and graduate degrees. The Village Board wishes them a safe journey and a most productive year. We are very proud of the

accomplishments of our young people and look to them as our ambassadors to the many cities, towns and villages throughout the country that will be their temporary homes.

Welcome Adelphi Students

This month marks the arrival of Adelphi’s Class of 2018 onto the Garden City campus. We’d like to welcome the students and to compliment them on choosing Adelphi. The Board of Trustees wishes President Riordan, her faculty and staff as well as the Class of 2018 and all students a most productive year. The Village wants you to consider Garden City your home away from home during the next four years. While it is our hope that you will never require medical assistance during your stay at Adelphi, it is good to know that Garden City is the home to virtually every medical and dental discipline available and they are centered at 520 and 601 Franklin Avenue and on Seventh Street. We also invite you to visit our shopping areas and many fine restaurants on Seventh Street, Franklin Avenue and New Hyde Park Road. Bring your friends and family, all are welcome.

BY BOB MORGAN, JR.

A few thoughts on the hate-filled Charlottesville weekend. To be absolutely clear, let me say upfront that I find the white supremacist movement completely abhorrent and I completely and utterly reject its contention that one race is superior to any other. And after the evil effects of Nazi rule in Germany and much of Europe, which required a world war to suppress, it is inconceivable to me how anyone could possibly support or honor any part of such a hate filled ideology. Nor is there any place for glorification of slavery or Jim Crow laws in the United States. As for the individual alleged to have intentionally run over protesters, he deserves a fair trial, but he should be punished severely (I would not rule out the death penalty) if these charges are proven. And yes, President Trump did himself and his supporters no favors by not quickly and specifically condemning white racists, whether or not some elements of the so-called alt right have been supportive of him. Eventually, Mr. Trump got his messaging right, but it took far too long. Having said all of this, there is much else to be said about the Charlottesville disorders. First, this matter seemed very oddly handled. Even white supremacists have a legally protected right to express their warped ideology. Indeed, the American Civil Liberties Union went to court to uphold that right. It was thus very surprising that the local authorities made little or no effort to keep the peace by separating the white supremacists from antifa and related counterprotesters. The antifa groups have their own history of violent actions in many places, for example during a riot in Berkeley. It is hard to believe that the police, aided by the national guard if necessary, could not have created separate areas for the dueling protest groups. Second, and more fundamentally, I think that consideration must be given to the proposition, as suggested this week on the Wall Street Journal editorial pages, that there is a relationship between the rise of

identity politics and the ugliness we have witnessed. As the Journal editorial board sees it, identity politics abandons the language of equal opportunity and color blind justice for a new politics based on race, ethnicity, gender and even religion, with “diversity” as the all-purpose justification. The Journal explains that “identity obsessives want to boil down everything in American life to these categories… this means allocating political power, contracts, jobs and now even salaries in the private economy based on the politics of skin color or gender rather than merit or performance. Down the road lies political tribalism”. And related to identity politics is the idea that people must “check their privilege” before being allowed to speak out on controversial subjects. In a column this week called “I’m a White Man, Hear Me Out”, liberal New York Times columnist Frank Bruni, who is both white and gay, astutely rejected “the assumptions — otherwise known as prejudices — that certain life circumstances prohibit sensitivity and sound judgment while other conditions guarantee them.” Again, the rise of identity politics on the left, or an insistence that only some groups of people have the right to speak out, in no way justifies racists and their weak-minded followers to attempt to revive the Ku Klux Klan or to march around with swastikas. And it is not completely fair to complain about identity politics on the left without noting, as Journal editorial page editor Paul Gigot does, that there is a form of it on the right among politicians who focus on subjects like immigration. The concern here, however, is that identity politics and related manifestations can have a corrosive effect on the system. Dividing the economic, political or free speech pie in favor of favored identity groups will create losers as well as winners. The last thing our country needs is a movement of disaffected people trying to remedy perceived unfairness by spewing hate in the streets.

This photo was taken by me many years ago on a hot sultry August evening. I can still remember how deserted the area was as is typical in Garden City in August. This view of the Garden City Railroad station shows that, although built in 1898, its modern design does not look dated. The bust of Garden City’s founder A.T. Stewart watches over the area as the Cathedral built in his memory towers over the Village as it has since 1885.

Working in groups of three, the students created a recipe in Spanish and followed the steps. For example, “Add ¼ sugar, separate the mixture to create the frosting, and then mix the other ingredients together.” The students then cooked each recipe, culminating in a food sampling. Some of the recipes were: tres leche cake, pupusas, fried plantains, quesadillas, tortillas, and guacamole, just to name a few.

Dog Days of Summer

The month of August is known as the “Dog Days of Summer”. Many people believe the phrase “dog days of summer” stems from the fact that dogs tend to be a bit on the lazy side during the hottest days of summer. Of course, who can blame them? With that much fur, dogs that exercise during the hot days of summer can overheat easily. However, the phrase doesn’t stem from lazy dogs lying around on hot and humid days. Instead, to find the answer, we only need to look to the summer sky. The ancient Romans called the hottest, most humid days of summer “dies caniculares” or “dog days.” The name came about because they associated the hottest days of summer with the star Sirius. Sirius was known as the “Dog Star” because it was the brightest star

in the constellation Canis Major (Large Dog). Sirius also happens to be the brightest star in the night sky. Sirius is so bright that the ancient Romans thought it radiated extra heat toward Earth. During the summer, when Sirius rises and sets with the Sun, they thought Sirius added heat to the Sun’s heat to cause hotter summer temperatures. For the ancient Romans, the dog days of summer occurred from about July 24 to around August 24. Over time, though, the constellations have drifted somewhat. Today, The Old Farmer’s Almanac lists the traditional timing of the dog days of summer as occurring from July 3 until August 11. Whichever date you choose, the month of August is the “Dog Days of Summer”! The Children’s Librarians have set aside summer reading books required by the Garden City School District. This includes Stewart, Stratford, Hemlock, Homestead, Locust and St. Joseph’s. These books are very popular so come in and get your copy today. If you don’t see what you want, ask us and they can always be interloaned from another library.

Summer’s End

DAR welcomes five new members

With ATHENA

Here we are at the beginning of the end of Summer. Labor Day will be here before you know it - just ask any child of school age and he or she will tell you. Be sure to get those last swims in before the pool closes. Time really does fly! The Garden City Country Club has been holding Family Night on the Patio during August and they will take it right up to Labor Day. It has been very popular - just ask Maureen and Duncan Fraser, who enjoyed it with friends. Of course you can have a barbecue in your back yard and that would be fun too. The children are well aware of the short time of freedom but there is nothing that they can do about it. Come to think about it - there is nothing we can do either. Enjoy what is left! Leave it to the Community Club of Garden City and Hempstead as they have their invitations out for their Annual Friendship Luncheon. It will be held on Wednesday, September 27th at the Westbury Manor and the schedule of their programs for the year will be out to members soon. I have heard, however, that the invitations are already out and they are getting a good number of responses. The deadline for responses is September 18th. You do not want to miss it. Ruth and Nick LaBasco will be celebrating their wedding anniversary on the 23rd of this month and Barbara Haynes will do her celebrating of her birthday before August ends. May they all have a wonderful day and a year filled with health and happiness. There have been many questions asked about the beginning of bridge season. Well, at the Garden City Country Club the Ladies Lunch Bridge runs all year except when the Club is closed at the beginning of January and going through February and starting up again in March. The Bridge season at the

Garden City C a s i n o differs. They have a Tuesday Lunch - Bridge on the third Tuesday and a Saturday Dinner Bridge the first Saturday of each month. You can contact the club for more information. Bridge is a very popular game here in Garden City. There is a rumor that you can play somewhere all week long - but I really cannot vouch for that. Athena and John Philippides had their wedding anniversary in the middle of August - sorry to be a little late. Your garden is also coming down to a Fall look. It is time to tidy up around your plants, remove faded leaves from the base of iris plants to discourage iris borers, pick faded blooms off rhododendrons, lilacs, andromedas, mountain laurels and other spring flowering shrubs. That should keep you busy and your garden neat. It’s a great way to get rid of the weight we put on during an ice cream summer. Somehow as each year passes we find that they are going faster and there does not seem to be anything we can do about it. One couple in town thought about a trip that somehow they missed and now wished to see. It’s way out in Wyoming and I can vouch for it as I have seen it twice with a long pause between. I guess that we all have our favorite places to go and most of us do visit special places frequently. However, it’s the far away places like Yellowstone National Park that gets folks coming back. It’s a beautiful park and the weather should be great now. Make sure that you get your last swims in before the pool closes and if you don’t mind my asking - do take a couple of laps for me.

Some of the recently admitted members of the NSDAR: From left: Abagael Fagan, Jeanne Myers and Deborah McCauley. Leslie Dimmling, Regent of the Garden City based Colonel Aaron Ogden Chapter of the National Society, Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR) , is pleased to announce the addition of 5 new members .

Student physical examination tips

School time requires having all of the necessary supplies, clothing and gear ready for the year. In addition, preparing for a new school year often involves providing updated physical health information to the school administration. The requirements for health screenings and reporting may vary between school districts. Some physical examinations need to be conducted annually, while others may only need updating at certain intervals, such as when kids transition from elementary school to middle school or middle school to high school. Updated physical forms also may be required at the start of a sports season. Health screenings are intended to detect problems that may interfere with learning. Physical exams may indicate issues that can hamper progress or shed light on undiagnosed problems that may require further assessment and necessitate customized learning plans to help students succeed. Physical exams are also a way to ensure students’ immunizations are up to date. According to the Pennsylvania Department of Health, physical exams typically are completed by students’ primary care providers. Some school districts offer free or low-cost health assessments through school providers as well. Students who will be traveling for school may be required to meet the health requirements of their destination country. For example, medical students ad-

mitted to a Canadian university may be required to get a medical exam, according to the Government of Canada. Visiting the doctor, nurse practitioner or a school-provided medical professional may not make school-aged children too happy. To make the process go smoothly, consider these suggestions. • Work with physicians who have access to electronic health records. EHRs are secure technology that provides easy access to vaccination records, health history, appointment reminders, and even prescrip-

tion information. Some providers even make it possible for patients to directly access their health information through a secure login, helping save time. • Make appointments during school hours. After-school appointments are peak times for pediatric offices and medical clinics. Sign students out of school early to visit the doctor for medical exams. The staff likely will be less harried, and you can spend more time asking questions and completing forms. Schools may not count the absence if a doctor’s note is provided. • Don’t forget the forms. Bring the right paperwork so that the staff can fill out what is necessary for the school, camp or sports league. • Know your insurance guidelines. Physical exams may be part of routine well visits. Insurance companies institute their own policies regarding how frequently physicals can be conducted (usually annually). Be sure to schedule the appointment accordingly. Physical examinations are on many parents’ backto-school to-do lists. Certain strategies can make physicals easier for adults and children alike. School time requires having all of the necessary supplies, clothing and gear ready for the year. In addition, preparing for a new school year often involves providing updated physical health information to the school administration. ADVERTORIAL

The crowd on 7th Street

Chamber of Commerce gets GC in a NY State of Mind

It was a pretty good crowd this past Friday night as the Garden City Chamber of Commerce hosted the New York State of Mind Promenade on 7th Street. Everyone was in the mood for a melody as the Billy Joel cover band, River of Dreams, played songs that had us feeling alright. The kids enjoyed a new phase, new wave, dance craze type of night with limbo, face painting, blow up air guitar and microphone bubble giveaways, as well as, a giant game of

Jenga provided by B.Good. The parents grabbed a table on the street in an old familiar place to forget about life for a while and no one knew they could ever want more out life. A big thank you to all our sponsors and to those who came out to join the festivities. Don’t forget to join the Chamber for a wee bit of fun next Friday night for the Saint Patrick’s Promenade featuring The Fivestone Band and Donny Golden’s Irish Step Dancers!

Adelphi plans expanded University Center, upgrades

From page 1 food and supplies and not waste, would be accessed only through the building’s interior. Workers would not be walking around the building, close to public view from South Avenue. Currently berms and vegetation are high enough that the exterior of the building is shielded. “If you drive by the building all you can look at is the second floor of the building,” the Adelphi team told the Commission. Village Historian and Planning

Commission member Bill Bellmer asked about the diagonal staircase inside the student center. Shipley explained: “there are some patio and picnic tables at the top, but its primary function is fire egress off the second floor,” he said. The Thomas Dixon Lovely Ballroom on the University Center’s second floor, which has a seating capacity of 700 people, will also receive some substantial renovations. Each year Adelphi hosts special events, symposiums, and at times the greater Garden City community for the open, annual Fall Lecture

on a Sunday afternoon. In the past five years, residents John Ellis Kordes and former Village Administrator Robert Schoelle have delivered the university’s fall lectures in that ballroom. “Part of what is driving the project is bringing the building up to date and meet current code – the ballroom has never had a fire-sprinkler system as well as other upgrades. Also the ballroom will receive upgrades from an aesthetic point of view. They will take the existing ceiling down to install a sprinkler system inside,” Shipley explained.

He told the Commission the schedule of presenting to the ADRB at the end of August seeking preliminary site plan approval. If that is granted this month, then the full Board of Trustees’ approval would follow four weeks later as part of the September 21 agenda. However Kali Chan, director of media relations for Adelphi, contacted the News this week to say the university’s Board of Trustees plans to vote on the project when it meets in December.

Village hosts 100th anniversary commemoration of Rainbow Division From page 1 Motor Parkway and the current Garden City Chamber of Commerce headquarters, the Parkway’s toll lodge, which was located on their block 100 years ago. At the August 12 Rainbow Division ceremonies the O’Sullivans were joined by their nephew Brian, a native of a small town in North Texas, two hours from Amarillo. The young college student just moved to Garden City four weeks ago, and he commutes to New Jersey during the week to attend Rutgers University physical therapy studies program. He says the New York region’s great history dating to the American Revolution and Civil War eras have inspired him to study more local history, and living in the village’s East section often provides some sightseeing. He thought of his own background with his mom’s Irish heritage, as Ireland was part of Britain during World War I, and his paternal grandmother is German. Brian’s great, great grandfather died in battle during World War I. The symbolism of his own journey, coming from small town America to Garden City now, just as the National Guardsmen did 100 years ago, hit Brian. As he admired a picture display a few feet from the memorial, Brian put the events of World War I and the Rainbow Division’s sacrifices in a new light. “I just tried to contextualize the numbers the Division talked about here -- 30,000 Americans leaving for World War I from right here, at this place in Garden City 100 years ago, that’s three times more than the entire population of my hometown in Texas. I am just trying to imagine three of my hometowns fitting into this site. It’s unimaginable. Everywhere you turn there is a historical event that happened here. There are monuments and historical markers all over, from Camp Mills and Camp Black to Charles Lindbergh’s flight. Another plaque marking a Civil War camp are nearby. Unless you know what to look for you would never now it was here. All of the history you learn about the individual 27 states’ contributions to the Rainbow Division is fantastic,” Brian told the News. He was particularly happy to see

that at Camp Mills there were Texas troops stationed in the village in 1917. His uncle Michael said the monument had come a long way from its condition just one month earlier. The family says it had become a nondescript “gray slab” in a triangular greenspace in the neighborhood. The transformation with beautiful color and inscriptions as well as the new soldier’s portrait, bugle raised, struck all of them as a great $10,000 investment. Brian said his favorite part is the Camp Mills artists’ rendering with details of the tents on the front of the monument. At the event, the village and assembled veterans welcomed the Deputy Consul General of France, Eric Bayer, as he addressed the crowd. The O’Sullivans and other residents were amazed that a dignitary from France attended the ceremony. “It is a great honor and privilege for me to represent the French Republic here today in tribute to all the young men and women of valor who fought throughout these last 100 years. It is very comforting to see on American soil, the French names on this memorial as you see on the bottom, names that many French people know unfortunately too well. The reason of my presence here today is to really pay tribute to everything France owes to the United States, which is the oldest ally to the United States and one that came at the very right moment when France could have collapsed out of exhaustion (during World War I). I want you to rest assured that in every French mind and every French heart there is the lasting memory of everything owed to your country and to all the children you sent to help us defend our country. It is deeply grounded in the French minds and spirits, the French will never forget!” Bayer said. During World War I the Rainbow Division saw more days in combat than any other American forces division and suffered 14,683 casualties. In late 2018 or 2019, the Rainbow Division is scheduled to serve in Afghanistan. Mayor Daughney said the newly restored memorial should be viewed as living history, noting that residents, stu-

dents and children in Garden City can easily look up information on the 42nd Division and its history from the convenience of a tablet or handheld device. He encouraged those in attendance to tell their neighbors and relatives to visit the refreshed memorial site. “We want to thank the Rainbow Division Veterans Foundation for helping Garden City celebrate this memorial month and year. It is an honor for me and my fellow trustees to be here to help us all celebrate the marking of this date, the opening of Camp Mills and the formation of the Rainbow Division, the 42nd Infantry Division. If you can see the pictures on the right, this location was wide open space not that long ago with over 200,000 troops coming through here. We are happy you are all a part of Garden City and we hope to continue the memory with this memorial – we honor those troops with the memorial and we hope to keep it in good shape for generations to come. We thank those veterans currently serving and who have served in the Armed Forces. We truly thank you for all that you do,” Mayor Daughney said, bringing about a round of applause from attendees.

Rainbow Division Collaboration

At the podium Daughney thanked two village residents for their extraordinary efforts, Cyril Smith and his colleague, current Village Historian Bill Bellmer. “They brought the memorial and its condition to our attention and suggested we refurbish it and have the ceremony. They helped us coordinate the ceremony, and they help to teach us the history of our village all the time,” he said. The mayor posed for pictures as the board members of the Rainbow Division Veterans’ Foundation presented a check for exactly half the cost of restoring the Garden City monument – $4,812.50 – to the Village of Garden City. The Board of Trustees had allocated the full $10,000 at one of its spring meetings, and at the time Village Administrator Ralph V. Suozzi explained the municipal collaboration and efforts of the foundation. Retired Lieutenant Colonel Paul Fanning, the Memorials Officer for the

Rainbow Division Veterans Foundation, introduced retired Rainbow Division generals seated next to the Garden City Board of Trustees in a row of chairs left of the memorial. Chief among them is retired Major General Joseph J. Taluto, director of the Rainbow Division Veterans Foundation. Taluto started his comments with ‘thank-you’s’ acknowledging the many contributions of village personnel. “The mayor is going to thank so many people here in the village that I cannot begin to recognize who have made this place (the memorial) as it was in 1941. We have a beautiful monument and a beautiful memorial to these men. We are so happy to be able to present this check and be here. We thank the Village of Garden City for being so thoughtful in its work,” Taluto said. Taluto detailed the history of the Rainbow Division’s formation, its legacy in World Wat I and continuing in 2004 and 2005, when he led the division to battle in Operation Iraqi Freedom. He also read aloud from the first literary account of the Division. “The concentration of the 42nd Division was accomplished during the latter part of August and the first half of September, 1917, at Camp Mills New York. On September 13 it was completed, assembled from the four winds, this Division comprised 27 selected units of the National Guard of longstanding and established excellence, drawn from 26 of the United States and the District of Columbia. Even before its authorization and at the very time its formation was announced, the 42nd Division received the alternate name by which it is more commonly and widely known – the Rainbow Division. The name was given by its first chief of staff and its first member, General Douglas MacArthur. To every person the symbol of the rainbow suggests the same idea in a different way – the many states of the Union, the many crepes of life, the many colors and shades of thought and points of view that were all brought together in the 42nd Division at a new camp in New York in fall 1917,” General Taluto said. Taluto reminded residents and vetSee page 32

Village hosts 100th anniversary commemoration of Rainbow Division

From page 30 erans to consider the remembrance and preservation of the Rainbow Division’s legacy, bringing up a day like the August 12, 100th anniversary memorial. Taluto introduced the Rainbow Division Veterans Foundation as veterans and descendants of Division members. “In 1919, before they even came home from World War I, the Division established an association – the Rainbow Division Veterans Association – which was thought to be an excellent idea so they could meet every year and be together. They did that for over 98 years now, from World War I and World War II into current era veterans,” he said. The Rainbow Division Veterans Foundation was established by veteran leaders in 1971 as a not-for-profit charitable foundation with a mission of “preserving the legacy, remembers the deeds of its soldiers, and to maintain and establish memorials.”

Living History and Art

After the ceremony Paul Fanning said the band of over 60 members and Army Color Guard of 20 members represented American pride and service to the fullest. History and humanity came alive for an afternoon in Garden City. “My favorite definition of history, which I picked up from a college professor years ago, is ‘the effort to understand the human condition by examining the past.’ If people feel that history is synonymous with the past, it isn’t; it is our impressions of history. We can’t make good decisions without a frame of reference for it. It is not history, it is human behavior – how do we know we are changing and growing as a society and how do we know we progressed if we don’t remember our history?” Fanning considered as he reflected on the day’s speeches and ceremony. In front of the monument Fanning was joined by Layne Meyer, a Garden City High School student who’s active and interested in the Rainbow Division’s local legacy, and Joanne Kastelek, senior typist clerk for Garden City Public Library, as they discussed the event and its precursor – the Camp Mills photograph exhibit

featured on GCPL’s lower level a few months ago. The refreshed monument’s artist, Dave Bliss from Sprung Monuments of Babylon, attended with his girlfriend Mary and their dog Buster. Bliss was introduced by Paul Fanning and he received a hearty applause. Later the couple was greeted by Joe Piersa of Garden City Public Works at the August 12 event, as Piersa and Domenick Stanco oversaw the restoration work. Both Piersa and Bliss, who lives in West Islip, said they didn’t know the ceremony would bring such a great turnout to the village. Piersa says Bliss “did all the work” and later he spoke with the News about the project. “This took close to 100 hours as I worked on scaffolding and ladders, and with other people’s help. Some of the neighbors came by and gave us drinks as they seemed very enthused by the restoration. The Pokemon app is also drawing young people to this location, and some of them would come up to me while I worked and learn about the project,” Bliss said. The memories of his work took on new meaning last Saturday. “Theoretically this project to me was another job and that is the way I looked at it, as I have dealt with death in doing artistic work for cemeteries and tombstones. This is to honor the dead and the memory of the chapter, the Rainbow Division. When they asked me to do it I did not know the significance and the gathering that would come here today to honor this legacy,” he said.

World War I Centennial

In 2013 a national commission was established by Congress for the centennial of World War I. On August 12 in Garden City and representing the Commission’s chapter from New York City, Ryan Hegg, who served as director of the 2016 New York City Veterans Day Parade, commented on the legacy remembered. “At the national level we have educational programs and information, and we are holding major events throughout 2018 for the entry of the U.S. into World War I and the Armistice. One of the things the Commission is working towards is to build a national memorial in Washington,

D.C., honoring the World War I generation and their legacy. Equally if not more important is the Commission’s efforts to promote and encourage events like this one happening here today in communities across America – communities in that day and age sent their young men off to war, not just piecemeal but unified as an organization like the Rainbow Division, drawing from around the country,” he said. In an interview with The Garden City News following Saturday’s ceremony, Hegg said the Centennial Commission is surprised how many people are responding to efforts to remember 100 years after World War I, with no living veterans. “The Rainbow Division drew from all around the country and it is a great story of ties that unite us at this time when there is a lot of division in the country. World War I was the first great national effort since the Civil War, which was a much more divisive moment. The New York area and New York State have a huge depth of World War I experience. One of ten soldiers that went overseas in World War I were from New York State, and four of five soldiers went through New York. With all that is going on, we as Americans can take comfort in the idea that we have gotten through worse together,” he said. Hegg said training in the area gave a unique rallying cry, as “Mineola!” was used by the 106th regiment troops, as they trained in Brooklyn. He said those troops came up from South Carolina to Hoboken before heading to the war, but they shouted Mineola on the French battlefields. Hegg

added that through the lens of history, World War I was supposed to be “the war to end all wars.” Through the contributions of American troops and the Rainbow Division, the “man with a rifle” known as the doughboy, World War I was brought to its end. “In 1914, 195, 1916, and into 1917, the world and especially Europe experienced slaughter and devastation on a massive scale. Even after the U.S. entered the war in 1917 and 1918 it became clear that this war would not end until one side, the other or maybe both collapsed from exhaustion. The doughboys made the difference. When they arrived the word most commonly used to describe the Americans was “eager” – it was this eagerness that led them to thrust forward when other more experienced soldiers might have given up. This eagerness allowed General Pershing and the Allies to move forward with plans to end the war. The war was originally supposed to end in late 1919, but the Allies learned that the Americans were ready and when the opportunity presented itself in the summer of 1918 the Allies pressed forward. They ended the war on November 11, 1918. Consider this; while millions were in mourning thousands and perhaps millions more had earned a reprieve – soldiers from England, France and Germany would not have had to enter that slaughterhouse. The doughboys ended the war and they saved lives – I can think of no greater legacy for a man carrying a rifle,” Hegg told the crowd.

Historic Inn at Saratoga Captures Sense of Place, Gracious Victorian Style BY KAREN RUBIN

Saratoga Springs, one of America’s first tourist towns, has been drawing visitors since the 14th century when Native Americans discovered the mineral springs which still draw visitors today.

But it is also where formal horse racing began, and over the years, has also developed an amazingly rich cultural menu of offerings, especially in summer, when its Performing Arts Center is home to the New York City Ballet and

Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra. It is fitting that among its key attractions are the National Museum of Dance (who knew there was such a thing?) as well as the National Racing Museum (fascinating), historic racetrack, lively live-music

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

venues, stunning boutiques (you know a top-notch town by its olive oil shop and haberdashery). It doesn’t take long, as you walk among the giant painted horses and ballet shoes to recognize this unbelievably charming town is a combination of Louisville, Kentucky and Lenox, Massachusetts, with a touch of a spa-wellness destination thrown in. And totally enchanting. But walking around and taking in the breathtaking Victorian architecture, you also realize that Saratoga Springs has had its upsand-downs. Indeed, the celebrated historic Racetrack even closed down in 1896 because of financial hardship, and historic markers on Broadway point to whole historic streets that were torn down in the 1960s until a preservation movement took root. This makes you appreciate all the more the work underway ($30 million worth) on the historic Adelphi Hotel, where the colorful Irish-born prize-fighter, horseracing impresario, gambling entrepreneur, New York State Senator and Tammany Hall enforcer John Morrissey, a regular of the hotel, died in 1878. You get to live Saratoga Springs’ history at the Inn at Saratoga, which has basically “seen” it all. Built See page D2

Historic Inn at Saratoga Captures Sense of Place, Gracious Victorian Style Continued from page D1

around 1843, it is the oldest continuously operating hotel in Saratoga Springs, and its own history mirrors that of the village. Anyone who appreciates as I do how a historic hotel is like a direct line to a place – putting you on the inside track rather than being an outsider merely passing through – seeks out historic hotels wherever possible. They have presence, and give you a sense of place. These historic hotels immerse you into the collective memory and heritage of a place – like being inserted into the scene of the village as it might have been 150 years ago. They are so much more than brick and mortar - they have personality, character, even soul (not for nothing that many also harbor a ghost or two). It is also about providing the gracious hospitality we associate with times past – the personal attention, the tranquil pace, a quiet calm. So, coming to Saratoga Springs, I do what I always do when I plan a trip: seek out Historic Hotels of America website (historichotels.org, 800-678-8946), a membership program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation with nearly 290 historic hotels that have faithfully maintained their authenticity, sense of place and architectural integrity. I discover the Inn at Saratoga, which turns out to be the oldest continuously operating inn in Saratoga Springs, dating back to 1843.

Over the years, the inn’s fortunes have had its ups and downs along with the city (now decidedly up in its fortunes) and, like the city and hospitality industry, has gone through many incarnations – a physician tapped Saratoga Springs’ legendary mineral waters for his patients and operated the inn as an early version of a spa hotel; a Cuban owner had a travel pipeline for visitors from Cuba; a rabbi catered to Jewish vacationers escaping New York City’s oppressive summers. Fortunately, it is now in the loving hands of the Israel family, who acquired the inn in 2003, and who bring a deep appreciation for historic preservation and their role as stewards. Indeed, when you experience such places, you cannot take their existence for granted – rather, they are to be celebrated as survivors against long odds – surviving wrecking balls, economic and natural disasters, and new owners’ predilections to go “modern.” Owners of these historic properties take on their stewardship with a sense of obligation and humility, recognizing they are links in a chain, without which, these places will simply cease to exist. The Israel family, who are active in the Preservation Society for Saratoga Springs, has spent considerable resources removing the “modern” that previous owners had installed, and restoring the hotel’s period features and charm, while providing the amenities that guests crave today,

including spacious bathrooms, in-room coffee maker, flat-screen TV, voicemail, dataports, complimentary wired and wireless high-speed Internet access and such. As they say it is “the perfect marriage of past and present.” I joke about the hotel having an elevator (which has an exquisite pastel painting of Saratoga Springs as it might have been 150 years ago that spreads across three sides) and the receptionist says, this place didn’t even have running water in 1843. But to install the elevator, Liz Israel, who has the role of General Manager, tells me, the previous owners removed a formal staircase. The inn once had around 100 rooms, more than twice the number, 42 rooms and suites, as today – because traditional hostelries had tiny rooms with a washbasin and guests shared a bathroom. Big band music plays in the hallway as I make my way to my room (you can’t hear it when you are in the room) but you use a modern key-card to enter. It is pure pleasure to sink into a four-poster bed so high you need a step ladder, and of course a spacious modern bathroom. Each room is different and appointed with period furnishings. Robert Israel, a tax attorney who first came to Saratoga Springs in the 1960s when it was in decline (and property was cheap) bought the hotel in 2003, has meticulously gone about acquiring period furnishings at auction – a stunning bookcase that adorns the

dining room; wood paneling that as a young man in his 20s, he salvaged from a hotel in Newburgh that he kept for 40 years before finding just the right place, in the inn’s lobby; the side board we take our coffee cup from for breakfast came from the Waldorf=Astoria Hotel. The walls are graced with stunning oil paintings (purchased at auction) as well as prints that Israel collected from the Grand Union Hall, which when it was built, was the largest in the world (it burned down). He acquired a shuttered railway ticket cottage which he reassembled and repurposed in the inn’s garden to serve as a bar for special events. The ballroom has an intricately “carved” fireplace which came from a movie set. And the dining room has a specially made red velvet banquette that captures the Victorian ambiance perfectly. One feature of the Inn at Saratoga is the complimentary full buffet breakfast that is included – a lavish affair that reminds you more of a bed-and-breakfast inn where the host seeks to really out do themselves with memorable meals. One breakfast consisted of delectable scrambled eggs seasoned with herbs, served on a fresh croissant, along with bacon, potatoes, selections of fresh fruit, cereals, bagels, pastries and muffins, perfectly delectable coffee, served on beautiful china. Liz Israel was 18 years old when her father bought the property. She grew up waiting tables, handling the reception

desk, and went on to get a degree in hospitality management in Ireland, where she worked at the Shelburne Hotel in Dublin before returning to the Inn at Saratoga with her Irish husband. Liz takes me on a walking tour of the hotel, recognizing how much I appreciate the restoration. Once an open porch, The Tavern bar has big picture windows that overlook the street bustle on Broadway, Saratoga Springs’ main street, and where there is live music five nights a week, Wednesday through Saturday. Primo’s Restaurant, where you enjoy breakfast and which serves dinner, is a Victorian confection. Liz says that they lifted up the carpet and removed a cement layer to expose the original hardwood floors. There is a beautiful ballroom that opens to a garden where a tent has been erected for a wedding reception; there is also an old railroad ticket cottage that Israel acquired and repurposed for a bar. The inn has a few vintage Roadmaster bikes available for guests’ use (two hours at a time). Guests also enjoy complimentary access to Victoria Swimming Pool located in Saratoga Spa State Park and the nearby YMCA. Complimentary parking in its on-site lot is a significant amenity as well.

Prisoners Do NOT Get Social Security BY TOM MARGENAU

Q: I was in my local Social Security office recently. While I was sitting in the waiting room, I noticed a pamphlet on a table that was titled, “What Prisoners Need to Know about Social Security.” If we are handing out Social Security checks to deadbeats sitting in prison who already get free room and board supplied by taxpayers, no wonder the system is going broke! A: I’m not really sure why that specialized Social Security Administration publication was lying around in an office waiting room. Still, had you bothered to pick it up and skim it, you would have learned that Social Security benefits are NOT payable to people who are in jail or prison after being convicted of a crime. Before I explain the rules in more detail, I’m going to give a short history lesson. Also, I must stress that for much of this column, I will be referring to money paid by the Social Security program, usually either retirement or disability benefits. Near the end of this column, I will briefly mention the rules for the Supplemental Security Income program. Now for that history lesson. For the first half-century or more of the program, people who were getting Social Security benefits who ended up in prison still got their checks while they were incarcerated. I’m sure the thinking was this: These people worked and paid taxes and earned their Social Security benefit, so they should get that earned benefit no matter where they lived -- even if that was behind bars. I remember early in my career with the Social Security Administration, I worked for a while in a Social Security office in a Midwestern town that was also home to the state prison. Part of my job had me paying a once-a-week visit to that facility to handle any Social Security business for the inmates. That sometimes included routine matters like helping a convict replace a lost or stolen Social Security card, or helping an older con with a minor Social Security issue. But most of my time during those prison visits involved taking claims for Social Security disability benefits from young men who had heard through the prison grapevine that the government was handing out free money (in the form of Social Security disability checks) to inmates. That got me frustrated. I knew all the paperwork I was filling out was for naught, as all of those claims were going to be denied. But the kind of thinking that allowed incarcerated people to take their Social Security checks to jail, or apply for Social Security disability benefits while in jail, changed in the 1980s and 1990s as the country, and Congress, got more conservative. I recall newspaper stories and other media reports highlighting

prisoners who were supposedly “living the good life” with their Social Security checks, having far more disposable income than your average convict. Voters started clamoring for change, and Congress couldn’t act quickly enough to stop paying Social Security benefits to people behind bars. Since then, the rules have said that Social Security benefits cannot be paid for months that a person is confined to a jail, prison or certain other public institutions for committing a crime. Or to be more precise, benefits are suspended if someone is convicted of a criminal offense and sent to jail or prison for more than 30 continuous days. Notice that conviction is the key. Lots of people end up in jails while they are awaiting trial or pleas. But until there is a conviction with prison time involved, benefits will continue. It’s also important to note that while the convict’s benefits are suspended, if he or she has a spouse or child getting monthly Social Security dependent checks on his or her record, those benefits will continue. Of course, most people don’t spend the rest of their lives in prison. When they are released, Social Security benefits will be reinstated the month following the month they get out. Speaking of getting out, I’ve heard there is a sort of underground information network in many prisons that would have younger convicts believe that as soon as they are released, they can waltz into their nearest Social Security office and sign up for Social Security disability benefits and have those checks start flowing into their bank accounts. There simply is no truth to that rumor. Of course, anyone has the right to apply for Social Security disability benefits. But no one will get those benefits unless he or she meets all of the rather stringent qualifying criteria. For example, they must have worked and paid Social Security taxes in five out of the last 10 years. And they must have a disability that is so severe it is expected to keep them from being able to work for at least a year. So far, I’ve just been talking about Social Security benefits. But SSA runs another program for the federal government called Supplemental Security Income. SSI pays a small monthly welfare stipend (usually around $700) to low-income elderly people and to people under age 65 with disabilities who are down on their luck. (And every time I mention SSI in this column, I am quick to point out that SSI payments come out of general tax revenues, NOT out of the Social Security trust funds.) Anyway, SSI payment rates have always depended on a person’s living arrangements. And if you are living in a place where the government foots the bill for your expenses (like in a jail or prison), then you don’t qualify for SSI

while you are there. In other words, Congress didn’t have to change the law to ban SSI checks from going to prisoners. The law has always made sure that didn’t happen. But once a person who was previously on SSI gets out, his or her federal welfare checks can be reinstated.

However, if that person has been in jail for a year or more, he or she must file a whole new application for SSI. If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has the answer. Contact him at thomas.margenau@comcast.net. COPYRIGHT 2017 CREATORS.COM

Inn Follows Fortunes of Saratoga Springs I love the back story to the inn: it was built as a large boarding house in 1843 by Isaac Hall, a carpenter from New Hampshire, 11 years after the railroad provided easy access to Saratoga’s spa for tourists. In 1846, Hall sold the property to Thomas Smith of Virginia, who turned over the management to Dr. Richard L. Allen, who, like other physicians of the time, operated boarding houses to treat “chronic cases” – an early version of a health spa. That lasted until 1853, when the property was sold to Hervey P. Hall (Dr. Allen remained in Saratoga Springs and published a popular guide for health seekers in Saratoga). The hotel passed through three other owners until 1865 when it was acquired by Benjamin V. Frasier, brother-in-law of Thomas Marvin, the proprietor of the huge United States Hotel (largest hotel at the time). “The wealth created by the Civil War and the

Historic Inn at Saratoga Captures Sense of Place, Gracious Victorian Style C ontinued from page D5 Louisville, Kentucky) and it was sold to Nathaniel Waterbury, a prominent Saratogan, who made improvements but quickly went into foreclosure. The US was in the midst of a major economic Depression. The property was purchased at an 1878 sheriff’s sale by Thomas Marvin’s daughters, Mary Louise Sackett and Virginia Perry. By 1882, they had leased it to Primo M. Suarez, who catered to Cuban

vacationers for 35 years; he rebuilt the front of the hotel in 1887 in the High Victorian style that was fashionable at the time. After World War I, Saratoga’s old clientele was slipping away; and instead of two-week sojourns, auto touring was the newest fad. But there was a growing audience of Jewish New Yorkers who sought to escape the city’s summer heat and could afford a country retreat. In 1919, Nathaniel Heller took over Everett House and by the 1924 season,

The Inn at Saratoga is near most of Saratoga Springs’ attractions, such as the National Museum of Dance and the Saratoga Performing Arts Center is summer home to the New York City Ballet © 2017 Karen Rubin/ goingplacesfarandnear.com

renamed it Hotel Brenner, operated by Rabbi Charles Brenner and his extended family. That continued until 1973 when the hotel was purchased by Dom Nardelli of Saratoga Springs who “updated” the facility and renamed it the Coachman Motor Inn. That was a fairly dark time for Saratoga Springs, when many of its historic buildings were taken down. A historic preservation movement took hold in the 1980s, and when Nardelli put the hotel on the market in 1987, it was sold to four businessmen who sought to recreate the graciousness of a Victorian hotel. In 2003, the hotel was acquired by the current owners, Robert Israel of Franklin Square Associates, a historic preservation professional who has sought to restore the hotel’s historic quality and enhance the guest experience. Liz tells me her father uses the inn as an excuse to shadow auctions and indulge his passion for antiques. The Inn at Saratoga offers several package options, including: GirlFriends Getaway Package, featuring dinner, wine, mineral baths and massage treatments at the historic Roosevelt Baths & Spa in Saratoga Spring State Park. (The Roosevelt Baths & Spa Saratoga Springs opened in 1935 largely because of President Franklin Roosevelt who wanted to develop the mineral baths at Saratoga Springs as well as Warm Springs, Virginia. Today, the Roosevelt Baths & Spa offers 42 original treatment rooms and a complete menu of services, including mineral baths, massages, facials, scrubs and body wraps, and a full-service salon.) The inn’s Victorian Romance Package features a deluxe guest room or suite accommodations, a rose, chilled bottle of Champagne delivered to the room, plus morning buffet breakfast and gourmet 3 course dinner for two at The Inn at Saratoga’s Restaurant. Upgrade to a suite for the ultimate

experience, most Brownell Cottage suites have a whirlpool tub, heated bathroom floors, steam showers and a Franklin stove fireplace. The Israel family also owns another boutique hotel, in St. Thomas in the Caribbean. Centrally located, The Inn at Saratoga is conveniently near center of the village and its attractions including Congress Park, Skidmore College, Saratoga Performing Arts Center (summer home of the New York City Ballet), the famous Saratoga Thoroughbred Racetrack, the Saratoga Harness Track, the Saratoga National Museum of Dance, the National Museum of Racing, and the Saratoga Spa State Park. On the Friday night that I am in town, I can choose from seeing the New York City Ballet, see a polo match or a live folk performance at Café Lina, among many other options. Besides the nearby attractions of Saratoga Springs, The Inn at Saratoga is well situated to year-round attractions, including Lake George (half hour); Gore Mountain (hour), and the Revolutionary War-era Saratoga National Historical Park (20 minutes).

Preschool Camp wraps with fun Summer Carnival

Trying to catch ducks in the pond Everyone loves balloon animals

Children who participated in the summer program at Little Sprouts Preschool in neighboring New Hyde Park enjoyed seven weeks of themed fun that ended with an outdoor carnival. Many GC-based families enjoyed the event with their campers. The program is now in its 8th year, and is run by a Garden City-based director as well as many local teachers, counselors and volunteers. Attendees got to try their skills at the ring toss, basketball toss, bean bag toss, bowling

game, duck pond and other games, and also enjoyed face painting, tattoos, hair braiding, sand art and refreshments. Prizes were won by all. A balloon artist and entertainer was also on hand. Little Sprouts Preschool is a ministry of the Christ Lutheran Church and provides safe, nurturing early childhood programs for toddler, nursery and pre-K age children. We offer both morning and afternoon sessions. For more information or to schedule a tour, please call 516-746-4889.

BY SPC RICHARD MAYFIELD New York Guard

The following story was originally published online at newyorkguard.wordpress.com It is reprinted with permission. The famous boxer, Muhammad Ali once said, “I know where I’m going and I know the truth, and I don’t have to be what you want me to be. I’m free to be what I want.” Having spent some time with Colonel Carole Neidich-Ryder, one is assured that the Colonel knows where she is going, what star guides her and what motivates her to serve the greater community. COL Ryder is no stranger to public service. A proud native of [Garden City] she has had a 35-year distinguished career as a Biologist with the Nassau County Department of Parks, Recreation and Museums. She has been the Chair of the Nassau County Open Space Committee and a member of the New York State South Shore Estuary Council and the Open Space Committee, representing her county. She now teaches Earth and Environmental Science courses as an Adjunct Professor at Nassau Community College and Long Island University, C.W. Post Campus. It is apparent that her career as an environmental scientist and the discipline that governs the scientific field provided a strong baseline for her military career. COL Ryder began her career with the New York Guard in 1986. Originally commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant, she spent the next 30 years advancing through the ranks and earning the respect of superiors and subordinates as a soldier’s soldier. As Deputy Commander of the 14th Brigade and later, Deputy Commander of the Army Division, COL Ryder has been an integral part in planning and supporting some of the most complex and critical missions carried out by the New York Guard. She credits her growth and success to a series of mentors and leaders that she admired during her time with the New York Guard. Major General Bahrenburg, Major General Lax, Brigadier General Cornute, Brigadier General Bucaria, COL Conroy and others left a lasting impression on her as to what can be

accomplished if you’re willing to work, be goal oriented and respect the military decision making process. COL Ryder began her service during a time of great transition and when new roles were opening up for women throughout the services. When this point is raised, Ryder acknowledges that she was the first woman to take on many roles in the Guard, however she is more interested in how she accomplished the mission and did she make the role better for those who came after her. As COL Ryder mentioned many times during her interview, the New York Guard mission is ever evolving but the concept of giving and serving where as you can, allowed her to make great choices, great friends and have great times in the New York Guard. The Colonel also shared her memories of tougher times that taxed her training, resolve and abilities as a soldier. These difficult assignments included serving as Radio Officer during the second Woodstock Concert, being deployed for 21 days during the Flight 800 investigation/disaster and 11 days during 9/11. These events had broad impacts on our nation and New York State, and Ryder expressed how they changed her as a soldier and as a person. These challenges made her reach deep inside, do more and find a strength that was always there but came to the fore during times of great importance. As Colonel Ryder ends her time with the New York Guard, don’t assume she will be relaxing. She has begun a new role as a volunteer with the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, providing MWR (Morale, Well-being and Recreation) for active and reserve members of the Coast Guard at Coast Guard Station Jones Beach in Long Island, New York. Her new role as Auxiliarist compliments her love of the outdoors, photography and cooking. As a qualified Auxiliary Food Service Specialist, she works alongside active duty Coast Guard Culinary Specialists, planning and making home-cooked style meals for the mess deck and preparing and cooking for Coast Guard special events at

Colonel Carole Neidich-Ryder Sector New York. Serving as a photographer and administrator for Station Jones Beach’s official military Facebook page, she documents and helps to tell the Coast Guard story to the public. During the summer, she patrols the waters of the south shore of Nassau County with other Auxiliarists and hopes to complete her training this year to become a fully qualified boat crew member. Her new Commanding Officer, BOSN2 Bryan A. Hoffman of Coast Guard Station Jones Beach, had this to say about his newest Auxiliarist, “AUX Carole Ryder is an irreplaceable member of the Coast Guard Station Jones Beach. She supports the morale and mission of [Station Jones Beach] through her culinary skills, and her ability in taking photos and sharing the story of our activities on Facebook has led to an 80 % increase in traffic on our website. Carole is not only a member of Station Jones Beach; she has become family.” When asked if she will miss the New York Guard, COL Ryder provided a resounding yes, but shared that while her time with the Guard has been a source of great pride and joy there was someplace else she now needs to be. That closing statement appropriately sums up the

Carole Ryder in her new role as Coast Guard Auxiliarist career of COL Carole NeidichRyder. She has always been right where she is needed, when she is needed. Thank you, COL Ryder, for your service to our

State and Nation. We wish you fair winds and following seas as you begin your new adventure with the U. S. Coast Guard Auxiliary.

On Sunday, August 13th, 28 Garden City residents participated in the 3rd Annual Sun & Surf Challenge, a run/bike race from St. Paul’s to the Atlantic Beach bridge. They raised money for a very worthy charity in the name of Maureen Michel, a Garden City resident who recently passed away after a battle with cancer. Maureen left behind her husband and 5 children, the youngest of whom has Downs Syndrome. This year racers raised $3,600 towards the Association for Children with Downs Syndrome. This event will take place next summer too, and will raise money again towards another worthy cause. In the meantime, if you want to donate towards this year’s charity, you can go to ACDS.org. You will see a picture of Maureen and can donate in her name.
