Board looks at new plan for St. Paul’s main building

SWIMMING TO VICTORY

BY RIKKI N. MASSAND

Garden City's "A" swim team continued its winning streak by beating Long Beach and Valley Stream in meets last week. The team has two dual meets left before it heads to Division I championships on August 13th to defend its title. Above, 13 & over girls get ready for their freestyle relay race.

Board approves police operations study BY RIKKI N. MASSAND

The Board of Trustees approved a contract of up to $60,000 for the Center for Public Safety Management, a Washington, D.C. firm, to perform a study “to identify the actual workload” of the Garden City Police Department. The Board said the study will be a data-driven forensic analysis of the department. The allocation included a transfer of funds from the Village’s contingent budget account into the Consultants’ Fees account. Mayor Brian Daughney was quick to dispel the notion that the Board of Trustees intends to

cut the number of police officers or GCPD staff. “Because the rumors will start, this has nothing to do with reducing the number of police officers. We are looking at expanding the number of officers. We want to make sure, legally and between our police union contract and everything else, that we do things the right way. So we brought in some outside help,” Mayor Daughney said. The original C.P.S.M. proposal responding to the village’s RFP for services was dated May 31. Trustee John Delany said there is nothing wrong with the

GCPD as it operates today. He clarified village processes at last week’s meeting. “The outside consultant we’re hiring has nothing to do with the view of the village trustees that there is anything wrong. We have taken a look at all village departments including fire and Public Works. This is just an ongoing step to look at each department to see if anything can be improved or changed, and determine what help the outside consultant can be to the village, and more importantly to give help to our police commissioner (Kenneth Jackson). See page 38

The Garden City Board of Trustees is considering hiring an architecture firm to study a new plan for the St. Paul’s main building which would keep the historic building’s facade but remove the interior and sides. As envisioned by Mayor Brian C. Daughney St. Paul’s would undergo a transformation to create new athletic fields where the interior and sides of the building stand now, leaving just the front façade facing Stewart Avenue and Rockaway for passers-by to notice. The subject was discussed briefly at the Board of Trustees’ July 20 session. Brian Pinnola, past president of the Garden City Historical Society, asked about the proposed schedule as nothing related to St. Paul’s was on the trustees’ agenda. “In light of the announcement that the Village Board made regarding St. Paul’s, the proposal to create the athletic fields and engaging an architect by July 15, has that been done yet?” he asked. Mayor Daughney says the Board and administration have begun speaking with a handful of firms, and “we will get them over there (to St. Paul’s) and see what they think and start that process.” Daughney answered another question from Pinnola and said these firms have experience working on preservation projects. Pinnola asked the mayor if it would be okay for the Garden City Historical Society to put forth a list of some historic preservation architecture firms, professionals who may be best tuned-in to the status of St. Paul’s on the National Register of Historic Places and with its visibility to historians and related associations from all over the country. Mayor Daughney told him yes the contact information would be accepted, and Pinnola and the GCHS could forward their document to Village Clerk Karen Altman, but there is a caveat: “as long as those firms are in accordance with the description of the project.” Mayor Daughney told Pinnola to refer to the Board of Trustees 2017-2018 Village Priorities’ List, where the St. Paul’s proposal is listed first. Pinnola was joined last Thursday by the former WPOA president and active Historical Society treasurer Maureen Dellacona. Pinnola completed his public comments by reading the Board See page 33

A WORD FROM THE PUBLISHER

Another look at St. Paul's The Garden City Board of Trustees is looking in to a plan that would transform the St. Paul's main building into a recreation facility. The thought is to remove the interior and sides of the building, leaving only the front façade. A recreation center including three to five enclosed turf fields would be built behind the façade. The problem of what to do with the St. Paul's building has been on the Village's agenda for an entire generation, since the Village bought the property in 1994. Restricted by law to use the property for public purposes, no financially palatable solution has ever been found. In the meantime, Mother

Nature has been gradually destroying the building which has visible decay in the masonry and roof. (Someone flew a drone over the building a few months ago and uploaded the video to YouTube if you want to get a excellent bird's eye view.) We won't opine about whether the Village's new idea is workable until after the cost facts are known. But maybe this is a case in which it would be better to save part of the building than to let the entire thing fall down, as it inevitably will. In any case we're glad that the subject is at least being raised again.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Email: Editor@GCNews.com

Thanks once again, PSEG

To the Editor: Indeed, you deserve my grateful and sincere thanks for your prompt and efficient help. You have kept your words when at the beginning of 2014 promised to “build,create, an utility of which Long Islanders would be proud”. Personally, I can truly attest to that with absolute conviction. In late March, the lights on half of my house went off. I called and in In less than 15 minutes your associate came, fixed the loose cables on the top side of my home and saved me $500 and which, ‘a priori’, a private electrician quoted in order to do the job. More recently, on Saturday July 22, the air conditioning was ‘struggling’, losing power, the lights on my living room going off-on as well as the T.V. which went black, off and on and back again and again. The same with the refrigerator, microwave and lights in the kitchen. I started to perspire heavily due not just because of prevailing heat and humidity but also, due to nervous anxiety which was quickly building up. I promptly

turned off all lights and appliances and called PSEG Customer Service. It was 12:45 PM I was told that an employee will be at my home address between 1and 5 PM and no need for me to be present. I left to do few errands and while at Stop and Shop, a call came on my cellphone. It was PSEG repairman who said: ‘The power is restored. Some electric wires at the pole on Willow Street were loose. I went up and fixed them. Have I nice day’. I could not believe what I just heard. Looked at my watch. It was 1:45 PM. I was only able to respond with a vacillating “thank you”. Emotional disbelief took over. In a loud voice I said “only one hour”! A couple nearby looked at me suspiciously. I immediately returned home and tested the lights, air conditioning, TV, microwave, refrigerator. Everything was working perfectly. I just loudly exclaimed: ‘Oh, thanks, thank you, thank you! Once again, my trust and full confidence in PSEG has been confirmed. To their useless predecessor LIPA I wish my sincere RIP. I believe again! Antonio Moreno

Save St. Paul’s main building

BY THE GARDEN CITY HISTORICAL SOCIETY

The Garden City Historical Society recognizes the efforts of the Village Board of Trustees to pursue an adaptive reuse of St. Paul’s School, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. However, based upon the preliminary information released by the Village Board, it does not appear to be feasible to build a recreation center with 3 to 5 enclosed turf fields behind the façade of St. Paul’s, and maintain the structure’s listing on the National Register of Historic Places. The Historical Society wishes to remind you and all Garden City residents that the structure, built circa 1879, has a long-storied history, starting out as a military academy, continuing as a private school, including a connection to our current President’s (Donald Trump’s)

Yes!

family, and that it contains an historic chapel with a Tiffany window, decorative metal work, wood work and English Minton tiles. The Garden City Historical Society can only support an adaptive reuse that will allow the structure to maintain its National Register status. We encourage the Board of Trustees to seek input from the Garden City community on this significant project that you have placed on your Priorities List under Primary Tasks and Projects. The fate of St. Paul’s affects all residents. Finally, people and organizations throughout the United States, and particularly on Long Island, are monitoring the future of St. Paul’s. Its redevelopment will present an unprecedented opportunity for our Village to demonstrate its commitment to preserving its past, while developing a noteworthy and spectacular Village asset for the future.

BY RIKKI N. MASSAND

For 98-year-old Joseph Leto of Seventh Street, there have been more swings in the senior transportation initiative in the last month than he has seen on the golf course throughout decades of his favorite pastime. Leto, a member of the Garden City Retired Men’s Association, has served for two years on a senior transportation subcommittee with current Garden City Deputy Mayor Theresa Trouvé and the village’s department head for Recreation and Parks, Kevin Ocker. The subcommittee has been investigating the transportation options Garden City can offer senior residents. Next came brief talk at Village Board meetings last fall and early this year, sparked by senior residents’ comments. After Leto attended the Recreation Commission’s June 29 meeting he followed up with what he heard from Ocker that night about Garden City Mayor Brian Daughney and recent discussions with Adelphi University for its shuttle use. At the Village Board meeting on July 20th Leto and board members exchanged ideas and discussed the need to offer seniors free or discounted transportation to village facilities for nearly the final 20 minutes. Trustee Louis Minuto commented that senior transportation “is unre-

solved at the moment, not dead, but being worked on.” He noted that Mayor Daughney tried explaining “some of the forces that everyone on the Board is wrestling with.” But Leto’s takeaway was that the Board of Trustees suggests telling housebound seniors in Garden City who have difficulties getting around town to “go fly a kite.” Last Thursday Leto repeated the line multiple times while he stood at the podium, disappointed in a lack of progress so far. Mayor Daughney announced that while a conversation took place with Adelphi leadership on the use of one of their shuttle buses, he is not in a position to share the details and say what the results are “because it is partially up to them if they can assist us and/or come up with ideas that might work.” Daughney says overall the village is continuing its due diligence on senior transportation, “thinking about it and coming up with some solutions.” Leto reviewed the discussions on senior transportation since 2015, as the new senior center was taking shape that year. “At one time we had a subcommittee headed by Trustee Trouvé. For some reason or the other that has disappeared. Then we were told the Recreation Department was doing something about seniors’ transportation. I went to the Rec. Department

meeting and was told the trustees are now handling that problem. Can I get some idea where we stand on the issue and why housebound seniors of Garden City are confined to their kitchens and living rooms when they would like to get out and use the pool?” Leto asked. “I am wrestling with the senior transportation concept to be honest with you, and I am mindful of what happens once you start spending taxpayers’ dollars for some programs – it never ends, it only expands. I am concerned that we have not been able to identify how many people would use it, or identify how many people need it, which is different from who would use it. I am concerned with the idea of starting by taking people to the senior center and then it would be the pool, the supermarket, and then it would become the doctor’s office. I don’t know if taxpayers should be supporting essentially a transportation system for one group,” Daughney told Leto last week. He added that another issue for him is the “personal economic side of this.” “I am not sure that taxpayers should be supporting transportation for people who can afford it. Are we going to get into looking at people’s tax filings to determine whether they deserve or need transportation, or what? I think that makes the Board uncomfortable, and I do not think I am the only one who

Senior transportation talk heats up meeting, but plans in neutral

feels that way,” the mayor said. Mayor Daughney was visibly annoyed with some of Leto’s assertions that he’s dismissive of seniors’ needs. He rebutted it by mentioning his advocacy and guidance, while serving as deputy mayor from 2015 to this April and previously as a trustee, to get the new $2 million Golf Club Lane senior center built. “Let’s not forget, who up here, quite frankly, deserves more credit for the senior center being built than me? I was all over that. I was all over spending the money and a lot of money, so I think I deserve a little credit for helping out our seniors and supporting what they needed. I am one of eight trustees here, we are all collectively trying to figure this out. And we represent not just seniors, we represent other taxpayers,” he said. Mayor Daughney presented a legitimate question in his mind, prefacing it by saying it isn’t necessarily his opinion to ask it: “why is a senior more entitled to a discount or a subsidy than someone with five kids struggling to get by and afford to stay in Garden City?” Leto told the Board last Thursday that as a human being ages and the older you get, the world gets smaller. “When the world becomes the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom you’re locking seniors in,” he said.

Village to review downtown street-scape

BY RIKKI N. MASSAND

At the Board of Trustees’ July 20 meeting the Board discussed the Streetscape Plan and related Garden City business district improvements and asked the Planning Commission to create a report addressing the parking lots, 7S and 7 N. In addition, the commission would examine sidewalk and ‘streetscape’ improvements for both the hubs: Seventh Street’s “T-zone” between Franklin and Hilton Avenues, as well as the New Hyde Park Road business strip near St. Anne’s in the West. “Last year we had an informal group with the Chamber of Commerce and interested parties. We hired deBruin Engineering to help us out. We are referring this to the Planning Commission and we (the Board) thought this would be a good project for them – we will ask them for their help. They can hold public work sessions with stakeholders. Just as with our Recreation facilities we want to improve and address comments and concerns within the business community and from residents as well, Seventh Street, Franklin Avenue, New Hyde Park Road, how we can improve it, clean it up, make changes to parking….We want to try to improve the area and keep this a vibrant and growing downtown,” Mayor Daughney said. An exhibit for the Board’s request to

the Commission accompanied the July 20 agenda. It contained a target date of February 1, 2018, for the Commission to submit its report and recommendations to the trustees. The Village Board’s priorities list, subject of a June 1 work session, outlined village projects to work on diligently over the next 18 months. The letter from the trustees to the Commission includes comments directing the scope of reviews to cover “changes to streetscape, without limitation planting beds, pavers, sidewalk width or configurations, sidewalk dining and maintenance of such areas.” With parking considerations and lot conditions in congested 7S, plus new restaurants and several more set to open by next year, the Commission is tasked with investigating “modifications or improvements to parking facilities along the Seventh Street and Franklin Avenue corridor, including parking zoning requirements and the type of parking facilities, changes to reflect the changing nature of businesses and other uses of real estate in the area, and whether apartment units should be required to pay for parking access similar to train stations parking facilities along the Seventh Street/ Franklin Avenue corridor, as well as similar issues in the New Hyde Park/ St. Anne’s Church area,” the exhibit

stated. For the municipal side, the Board wants to have the Commission consider the need to create an official Business Improvement District, often called a B.I.D. in other tristate villages, cities and towns, for both the Seventh/ Franklin T-zone and the West in the St. Anne’s vicinity of New Hyde Park Road. The Board requests the Commission to advise them of recommendations for charges (cost) to be assessed and services provided by any business improvement district. The Commission is also being asked by the Board of Trustees to consider changes for signage related to the opening of new businesses. The move by the board comes two months after a contested zoning change for the Seventh/Franklin T-zone, by which certain restrictions and processes have made a more feasible path for bank and restaurants to open in Garden City’s downtown. That conversation caused a stir with the Albanese Organization and specifically with a challenge by its Executive Vice President Russell Matthews. At last Thursday’s Board of Trustees meeting Matthews appeared for the first time since his comments on June 1, after he warned the trustees of a slippery slope with potential to hurt the mom-

and-pop’s stores downtown. As the zoning change was approved by the Board of Trustees, Matthews said he and other landlords, specifically Castagna Realty and Steel Equities, would challenge it against the village in court. This time he was positive in his view of the move for the Streetscape Plan to progress. After speaking against the zoning change in May and on June 1, Matthews came to the July meeting with his wellknown colleague from the Albanese Organization, Thomas McCambridge, who is also president of the Garden City Chamber of Commerce. He addressed the initiative by the Board of Trustees, “deferring some matters to the Planning Commission.” “There are things downtown that do require study maybe over a long period of time. But routine maintenance – maintenance of the streets, which we in the village made a substantial investment in 20 years ago – that does not require further study. As (Village Administrator) Ralph Suozzi knows it will two years ago next month (August 2015) when we met with him and representatives of Parks and Recreation and others at Revel restaurant on Franklin Avenue. Tom was there and (Chamber Executive Director) Dennis Donnelly were there, we met and walked around See page 44

THE VIEW FROM HERE

Some political equilibrium BY BOB MORGAN, JR.

Earlier this year, I remember using phrases like “dialed up to 11” to describe the constant barrage against President Trump by members of the self-styled Resistance and many of their allies in the media. Indeed, in the 50 plus years that I have followed politics, I had never seen anything quite the rancor and vitriol directed at a new President. There seemed to be a concerted effort by Mr. Trump’s opponents to destabilize his presidency Now, about six months into the new Administration, there is a bit of a sense that maybe a political equilibrium has been reached for a while and things seem a bit less frenetic. And that’s a good thing. Mr. Trump’s approval ratings are not particularly good, but they are stable. Starting about a month ago the Real Clear Politics approval ratings for Mr. Trump have stayed remarkably flat. His job average hovers right around 40 percent day after day, with polls slightly better for the President in samples of registered or likely voters than of all adults. Yes, there was a one day poll a few weeks ago that showed Mr. Trump reaching a 60 percent disapproval rating, which his detractors seized upon, and there was another one day poll showing his approval hitting 50 percent, which was seized upon by his supporters. In truth, however, isolated results like these ones are more likely caused by statistical noise than by any actual change in popular sentiment. What does this lack of movement, positive or negative mean? For one thing, it seems to demonstrate that the effect of the Russia narrative, and what Republicans would label constant scandal mongering, has waned. Mr. Trump’s opponent may be transfixed by the latest revelations like the brief meeting by Donald Trump, Jr. and others last year with an attorney loosely connected to Vladimir Putin, but this story does not seem to have moved the needle at all. Short of some astounding development, Mr. Trump’s base supporters have decided that the constant investigations are mostly politically motivated and not likely to change their

loyalty Another reason for the flat line is that poll respondents have now fully priced in Mr. Trump’s extremely quirky personality in their evaluation of him. It is for that reason that, for example, Mr. Trump’s odd decision to criticize his attorney general, Jeff Sessions, for recusing himself from the Russia investigation is pretty much being shrugged off. People now understand that Mr. Trump, especially when using Twitter but also at other times (the Sessions comments came during an interview with The New York Times), will frequently deliver his opinions completely unfiltered. More savvy Democrats seem to understand that Mr. Trump’s presidency is unlikely to collapse of its own weight. For example, this week Democrats came up with a new slogan A Better Deal: Better Skills, Better Jobs, Better Wages, with some new proposals and Chuck Schumer said that Democrats should blame themselves rather than Russians or James Comey for Hillary Clinton’s defeat last fall. In a widely circulated essay, a Democrat, James Barro, described what he calls the party’s hamburger problem, a smug and condescending attitude that politicizes many of a voter’s personal choices, “all the way down to the hamburgers they eat”. Of course, I must add a caveat that some dramatic development could raise the noise volume once again to the January levels. (For example, at this writing, the Jeff Sessions situation seems to be bubbling up again.) Also, the political effect of passage of health care legislation is very much a wild card and Republicans need to tread carefully. Nevertheless, The slightly less polarized atmosphere could have some positive effects, with some efforts by Democrats and the Trump Administration to work with each other, if not on health care, on such issues as infrastructure and tax reform. But even if there is little legislative progress, much of the country would welcome a more normal and less contentious political environment.

A new plan for St. Paul’s? From page 1 a statement from the Garden City Historical Society: “The Garden City Historical Society recognizes the efforts of the Village Board of Trustees to pursue an adaptive re-use of St. Paul’s School which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. However based on the preliminary information released by the Village Board it does not appear feasible to build a recreation center with three to five enclosed turf fields behind the façade of St. Paul’s and to maintain the structure’s listing on the National Register of Historic Places. The Historical Society wishes to remind you, the Board, and all Garden City residents that the St. Paul’s structure, built circa 1879, has a long, storied history starting as a military academy and then as a private school, including a connection that some of you are aware of to our current United States President Donald Trump and President Trump’s family – the athletic fields are known as Trump Fields. That building contains an historic chapel with a Tiffany window, it has decorative metal work and woodwork throughout and very good English Minton tiles. The Garden City

Historical Society can only support an adaptive reuse that will allow the structure to maintain its National Register status,” Pinnola said. He added a group opinion on the process at hand, harking back to the 2011 community vote that ultimately saved St. Paul’s from demolition: “We encourage the Board of Trustees to seek input from the Garden City community on this significant project that you have placed on your Priorities’ List, under ‘Primary Tasks and Projects.’ The fate of St. Paul’s affects all Garden City’s residents. Finally, people and organizations throughout the United States and particularly on Long Island are monitoring the future of St. Paul’s. Its redevelopment will represent an unprecedented opportunity to demonstrate its commitment to preserving its past while developing a noteworthy and spectacular village asset for the future,” Pinnola told the Board of Trustees on July 20. Mayor Daughney thanked him for the comments before the next member of the community spoke on a different subject, and no other trustees or residents offered thoughts on St. Paul’s during the meeting.

Board approves police study From page1 Perhaps they will find as a result of this study that we need more equipment or more manpower. Rather than trying to take a guess we will have some outside folks look at it,” he said.

Water Main Break

A week before the Board of Trustees’ July 20 meeting an emergency occurred on First Street with a “force sewer main” break. At the Board’s meeting Village Superintendent of Public Works and Deputy Village Administrator Joseph DiFrancisco said the line is a powerful main that feeds into Nassau County lines. “It was obviously an emergency and we brought in a third party contractor to dig up the road and replace the main. It was not a job that could be done during daytime because it required shutting down the sewer pumping stations in the village and routing the waste into trucks. During the day there is too much volume, it would be overwhelming the trucks and they came back after midnight, when there is less volume flowing through the sewers. We shut the pipes off, re-routed the waste and fixed the pipe and repaired the road,” DiFrancisco said. He noted that the road was restored to near-perfect condition and the process was completed very efficiently. DiFrancisco and DPW staff noted that so many residents living in the vicinity

were not too negatively impacted or disturbed by emergency work. They were pleased that the contractors’ team informed the community of the work taking place, and several “thank you’s” came into Village Hall following the sewer’s repair. On July 20, Suozzi also announced that he, Village Treasurer Irene Woo and DiFrancisco met with Floral Park Mayor Dominick Longobardi and Steve Siwinski, Superintendent of Public Works for Floral Park, to discuss the municipal best practices and ‘compare notes’ between Garden City and Floral Park’s operations. DiFrancisco is a Floral Park resident and he has served Garden City in several roles since being approved as Secretary to the Board of Trustees at last September’s Village Board meeting. “We discussed operations and any specific initiatives that they are involved with, and takeaways we can have. Then this week we met with Town of Hempstead Supervisor Anthony Santino and his executive assistant, Theresa Gaffney (an East Rockaway village trustee) and the Town Comptroller Kevin Conroy. We discussed GPS, contracts, equipment, strategies, and planning. We are reaching out to our area leaders to share ideas, see where they are ahead or we are ahead, and learn how we can work together to help keep costs down,” Suozzi said last week.

GARDEN CITY UPDATE NEWS AND INFORMATION Mayor@gardencityny.net As previously announced, the Board of Trustees and the Village Staff have embarked on new methods and procedures to communicate with members of our community, including our residents, commercial tenants and landlords, visitors, friends at Adelphi and local merchants. We are no longer publishing the “Mayor’s Column.” This weekly column is intended to advise our residents and community of matters that 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.

Police Department Operations Study

At its July 20th Board meeting, Trustees engaged the services of the Center for Public Safety Management, LLC to conduct a “data-driven forensic analysis” to identify actual Garden City Police Department workload and examine the Department’s manpower at an amount not to exceed $60,000. Mayor Brian Daughney emphasized that this study has nothing to do with reducing Village police officers. Trustee John Delany added that this process is an ongoing step to look at all Village departments to identify improvements and/or changes that could be made within the Department and see what kind of help the consultant could be to Police Commissioner Kenneth Jackson. Could the Department benefit from more manpower? Does the Department need more equipment? These are just some of the questions the study will seek to answer. Village Counsel will be provided with results of the study to better provide legal advice to the Village on Police operations and procedures.

Improvements to Board Room

Improvements to the Village Hall Board Room continue. Trustees have engaged the professional services of Bix Furniture Restoration of Williston Park to strip and refinish the large conference table. In 2016, eight larger chairs in the Board Room were refinished with new foam and upholstery and 71 chairs were refinished with new foam and upholstery. In April 2017 the two desks and two chairs, along with the podium, were refinished.

Garden City Fleet Inventory and Management

The Board of Trustees has engaged Capital Consultant Markets Advisors, LLC, to analyze and make recommendations relative to the Village’s executive fleet inventory and management at an amount not to exceed $13,000. This analysis is intended to help determine parameters and analytical tools for future internal review of lease/purchase fleet decisions.

Streetscape Improvements

The Board of Trustees is requesting a report and recommendation from the Planning Commission addressing parking lot and streetscape improvements/changes within the Village’s business districts. These issues were included on the Board’s adopted priorities list of significant projects and issues it would like to address in the next 18 months. The Board requests that the Planning Commission hold public work sessions and otherwise seek input from stakeholders such as the Chamber of Commerce, landowners and landlords and business owners, as well as the Architectural Design Review Board and Zoning Board of Appeals. The Board has formulated the following list of issues that it requests be analyzed and reviewed by the Planning Commission: • Modifications or improvements to parking facilities along the Seventh Street and Franklin Avenue corridor, including parking zoning requirements and the type of parking facilities, changes to reflect the changing nature of businesses and other uses of real estate in the area, and whether apartment units should be required to pay for parking access similar to train station parking facilities along the Seventh Street and Franklin Avenue corridor, as well as similar issues in the New Hyde Park /St. Anne’s Church area; • Modifications or changes to streetscape, including without limitation planting beds, pavers, sidewalk width or configurations, sidewalk dining and maintenance of such areas; • Whether or not a business improvement district should be created in the Franklin/Seventh Street district and/or the New Hyde Park Road business district, and if so, recommendations for charges to be assessed and services which would be provided by any such business improvement district; and • Whether or not changes should be made to the type and allowances for signage related to the opening of See page 10

Mobility Impaired Committee meeting discusses improvements SUBMITTED BY THE MOBILITY IMPAIRED COMMITTEE

Members of the Knitting, Crochet, and Handicraft Group show off their afghan donation.

The Mobility Impaired Committee had a very informative meeting Saturday at the GC Pool on July 22nd. About a dozen disabled residents and caregivers gathered to discuss improvements at the pool and present ideas for additional assistance to the mobility impaired. The bathroom adjacent to the adult pool has been a big plus again this year facilitating use for our seniors and the disabled. Because of the greater demand, it requires a lot of attention. The pool staff has all ready implemented some of our recommendations! Residents also suggested additional grab bars in the accessible shower areas and rails for all steps adjacent to adult pool. The MIC also received ideas on additional tables

for lunch, forms to record falls around pool for MIC awareness, and the possible use of paint to highlight pathways. Over the next week the MIC will meet with pool staff and assess some of our short term and long-term requests. One resident summed up our thoughts at the end of the meeting when he thanked the Village and the pool staff for giving him the opportunity to attend the pool this year! The Pool has proven again this year to be a welcoming place for the disabled and their caregivers. The next MIC meeting will be Saturday September 2 at 12 noon at the Pool. We will update our recommendations for GC Pool 2018 and prepare for our Traffic Commission hearing on Thursday, September 21 at 7 PM at Village Hall.

Rosemary Neri Villanella’s “Duck and Cover” signing at Book Revue On Monday, July 17th, long time Garden City resident Rosemary Neri Villanella had a book signing at the Huntington Book Revue. Her first book, “Duck and Cover” was recently released and is a memoir of growing up in Brooklyn in the early 1960’s. The title refers to nuclear war drills of that

period when students would go under their desks to “duck and cover”. Many were in attendance, including family and friends, as she spoke about the inspiration for the book before the actual book signing. She hopes this is the first of more books to come.

Pub puts “Barb’s Beer” on tap to cure lung cancer

Mike Spieler and his team at Doc O’Grady’s Irish Pub on Nassau Blvd have joined the Barb’s Beer team with Prost and Leo’s and have put Barb’s Beer on tap to raise funds to find a cure for lung cancer in Barb Murphy’s name. Barb Murphy, part of the Murphy/ Rice clan in Garden City, was a marathon runner with her husband, Tom, when she developed lung cancer in 2007. She fought the disease for six years before passing away in 2013. Tom along with family members and friends created the Barb’s Beer Foundation (barbsbeer.org) – a 501c3s charity - to support research to help find a cure.

BK Sweeney’s Uptown Grille took a lead with Barb’s Beer in 2015, now Prost, Leo’s – and Doc O’Grady’s – have joined to bring the beer, an American pale ale brewed by the Trappist Monks of Spencer Brewery, to New York off the success Barb’s Beer (and its Racing to the Cure campaign) are having in Seattle where Barb’s Beer was introduced in 2014. Stop by Barb’s Beer partners – including Prost, Leo’s and Doc O’Grady’s – for a pint to support the cause. Learn more about Barb and the Racing to the Cure campaign at barbsbeer.org.

This decorative part of the St. Paul’s building no longer exists. It burned in a 1970’s fire in the chemistry lab located underneath it. It was known as the “Crow’s Nest” and was part of the original 1883 building. It was located in the rear of the west wing, balancing the large clock tower located in the rear of the east wing.

“The Keith” Caddie Tournament

The 9th Annual Keith R. Cerrato Golf Tournament (“The Keith”) will be held on Monday, August 21, at the Cherry Valley Club. The tournament, which was established to honor Keith Cerrato who was tragically killed eleven years ago, is becoming a tradition at Cherry Valley where he was a caddie for many years. According to the tournament director, Bill Goldschein, “To honor Keith’s memory and his tireless work ethic, the tournament is only open to caddies”. Last year’s event had 106 caddies from over 16 clubs. This will be the first year that long time caddie and afternoon starter Richie Mason will not be participating in the tournament due to his unfortunate passing last year. His smile, warmth and “can do” attitude made him a special person. He was always available to the members and his friends and he is sorely missed. The Cerrato family and the entire CVC family send their best wishes to the Mason family. Richie Mason will always be remembered at CVC. The reason “The Keith” is such a unique tournament is because the golfers are the caddies. They do not pay a penny to participate in a day that includes lunch, dinner, round of golf, golf cart, golfer’s gift and awards. It is a day they have a chance to have the

Dr. John Cerrato and Mary Lou Cerrato

pros, staffers and members wait on them. To show an appreciation to all hard working caddies, the participants in “The Keith” can be sponsored by their club’s and/or members for $150 per golfer. If you are not affiliated with a club and wish to contribute you can forward a check to Ed Kelly, Cherry Valley Club, 23 Rockaway Avenue, Garden City, NY 11530. The committee will assign a caddie for you so that they can enjoy this special day. “Our family is so grateful to Ed Kelly, CVC Golf Pro, for creating this tournament in Keith’s honor. CVC has supported our cause for 9 years because Keith was one of theirs! He loved this club and they have returned their love to him every year with this special day. We cannot help our son anymore but we can help other sons and daughters”, said John Cerrato, Keith’s dad. All net proceeds go to two scholarship funds for students in need at Hofstra University and Chaminade High School (Keith’s alma maters). Please make all checks payable to Keith Cerrato Charitable Fund Inc. For more information you can check out the website at www.keithcaddietournament. com or contact Ed Kelly, Cherry Valley Club at 516-746-4420, ekelly@cherryvalleyclub.com or Mary Lou Cerrato, 516-456-3384, mloucer@aol.com

Garden City Casino hosts Into the Woods

On June 30 the LukeFest Players performed and produced the musical Into the Woods at the GC Casino. Created in memory of Luke Neuhedel, the Luke Neuhedel Foundation (LNF) raises money to benefit children with cancer. Garden City Pizza deserves special thanks for their participation in this dinner theater fund raiser. Their generosity contributed to the large dona-

tion that was raised. The Casino also deserves a shout out: this is the fifth LNF charity theater production hosted by the Casino. The show was a tremendous success, enhanced by the cast interacting with the audience. Into the Woods weaves together several classic fairy tales (Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel and Jack and the Beanstalk)

as their characters follow their desires and also help the baker and his wife lift a curse so they can begin a family. The cast included Luke’s siblings in leading roles: Alex as the harp, Morgan Faye as Little Red Riding Hood, Guenevere as Cinderella, Maria as a bird and George as Prince Charming. The Neuhedel parents Becky and Paul were Jack’s mother and the cow, respec-

tively. The Neuhedels are Garden City residents and Casino members. To learn more about the Luke Neuhedel Foundation, please visit their website Lukefund.org; it is a 501(c)3 organization. The Garden City is open to all Garden City residents. For more information please go to: TheGardenCityCasino. com

The Princes are in perfect harmony,

Rapunzel listens to the baker’s wife.

August 12 ceremony to commemorate 100th anniversary of Camp Mills.

Discover what all the BUZZ is about!

Restoration Efforts Continue at Rainbow Monument

Restoration efforts continue at the Rainbow Monument off Clinton Road as the Village prepares for the 100th anniversary celebration of Camp Mills, which was located in the southeast area of the Village during World War I. The monument is located on Saint James Street South. Camp Mills received troops from across the country for deployment to France, including the famous 42nd (Rainbow) Division. A ceremony commemorating its centennial will be held August 12, 2017 at the site beginning at noon. The Village wishes to acknowledge the efforts of longtime Garden City resident Cyril Smith for his efforts in bringing to the Village’s attention the importance of this memorial and the need for its restoration and helping coordinate the ceremony. Dave Bliss from Sprung Monuments of Babylon is power washing and chemically cleaning the memorial as well as the concrete benches surrounding it. Pointing and re-caulking, color and contrasting designs and highlights are all included in the scope of work the Board of Trustees approved at its June 1, 2017 meeting. Joseph Piersa and Domenick Stanco from the Department of Public Works are overseeing the project. Village

Administrator Ralph Suozzi regularly visits the site and is pleased with the progress. “The beautiful restoration of the Rainbow Division Memorial for its Centennial Celebration is a respectful tribute to the history of Camp Mills, the Rainbow Division formation and to all of the men and women in our military families who have and continue to preserve our nation’s path of freedom,” Mr. Suozzi said.

SOCIALLY SPEAKING

The Historic House With ATHENA

A short time ago I said the Summer will soon be here and it is here. I took some time off to visit the Garden City Pool and I found many of the members having a good time. They are still doing their group exercises in the water and besides being good for them it is also good for you if you ask to join in as they always have room for one more. Do join them as you know what they say - there is not only room, but it makes it more fun. If you only take a walk on the boardwalk at any of our beaches the exercise and the salt air are good for you. You can always rest on the benches and watch the rest of the world go by. That in itself is good for you. Of course, here in Garden City we have our own pool and that is also good for you. Yo will meet friends and neighbors. During the rest of the year we are too busy with volunteering and jobs of various kinds. Another thing we can do is to visit all those interesting places that I have been telling you about lately. I think you will like them. I know that I do. By the time that you receive a copy of this paper there will only be a few more days to go in July. August is nearly here and I have an item on August. The full moon in August was called the August or Sturgeon Moon. Why, do you ask? It came about because the large fish - called sturgeon and found in the Great Lakes and in Lake Champlain, was caught easily at this time of the year. So remember to look for it but it will not resemble a fish. In another couple of weeks you will be hearing of the back to school clothes for the children. You will be surprised at how much they have grown since June. The Garden City Country Club held their July Lunch Bridge and were surprised to find there were a few more tables for the event than they had anticipated. The air conditioning was delightful so they were looking forward to being there in August. The Garden City Library was closed for some time due to a fault in

the air conditioning. All is well now and yo can return your book and check out another one right now. There is nothing like a good book and check out another one right now. There is nothing like a good book, a shady tree and a comfortable chair. As far as I am concerned, it has not been as hot a summer as I remember from many years past. You might also say thanks if you do not have to go to work in New York City. You see there is always something to be thankful for. For those of you who are new to Garden City or just not have had the time, you should make it in order to visit our Historical Society’s house which is near the Senior Center. When the flag is out with the open flag flying do drive up the path and visit both the Historic House and their lovely gift shop in the back. You will be very happy you did and will probably make a number of return visits. You could even consider a membership in the group as they have a number of events for members that I highly recommend. They are open Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from noon to 4 p.m. The house is lovely and there will be a docent to welcome you and tell you all about it. I must say that I do come across a number of things that I think you will be interested in or get a laugh at and make a visit to - but I really leave it all up to you. Perhaps I will come across you at the Pool or at the Friday Night event on Seventh Street. There is so much to do and see right here in your own home town that I know you would enjoy. Do try to take in some of the things I have mentioned in various columns and see if you enjoy them. If you have children, many places are good for them also. For both you and the children its really a learning experience and a fun one at that. See you next week.

Administrator of Year

School supply drive

The Garden City Public Library needs your help to collect new school supplies for homeless children on Long Island. This is the 12th year that the Long Island Coalition for the Homeless (LICH) is conducting the “SOS” Supply Our Students Back to School Drive. Each year, they pack thousands of backpacks with the school supplies they collect through this drive. The backpacks are distributed through their network of homeless shelters in late August. Last summer, they distributed over 5,000 backpacks to kids in need on Long Island. With your help, we can assist LICH distrib-

ute more backpacks this year than ever before. Every child deserves to start their school year with the tools they need to succeed. A collection box is stationed in the vestibule of the Library until August 1, 2017. We thank you for your generosity. The Long Island Coalition for the Homeless is a 501c3 non-profit organization based in Amityville, NY. Their mission is to eliminate homelessness on Long Island and improve the lives of Long Islanders who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.

Garden City High School’s Assistant Principal, Mr. Dave Perrotta, was named Administrator of the Year by the Nassau Counselors Association (NCA) and received his award at the June 5th NCA Awards Dinner. “In his capacity as Assistant Principal, Mr. Perrotta has been assigned to oversee and act as liaison to the Guidance Department,” shared Director of Guidance Mrs. Gina Christel. “It is difficult to imagine anyone accomplishing that task with the ease and aplomb that Mr. Perrotta demonstrates. He is, by his nature, approachable, collaborative, student-centered and respectful of the opinions of others.” Mr. Perrotta is shown here in a “selfie” snapped by Principal Nanine McLaughlin (right) and fellow assistant principal Mr. Kevin Steingruebner at the awards ceremony.

Historical Society thanks

Enjoying the camaraderie of the evening are Honorees Former Mayor Nick Episcopia, second from left, and Brian Pinnola, center, pictured with, from left, Mrs. Kemp Hannon, Dorothy Episcopia, Maureen Soltren, Nassau County Legislator Laura Schaefer, and State Assemblyman Ed Ra.

The Garden City Historical Society sincerely thanks the residents, friends, organizations, sponsors and businesses that supported its recent Gala Benefit. At the event, the Society was proud to acknowledge the accomplishments of three true friends of preservation and the Historical Society: Immediate Past Village Mayor Nick Episcopia, Old World Quality Corporation owner Vinny Muldoon, and Society Past President and Trustee Brian Pinnola. The benefit provided financial support for the Society’s capital campaign to restore and preserve the exterior of the Museum, a 145-year, A.T. Stewartera structure, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Society recently signed a contract with Page Ayres Cowley Architects, a firm specializing in the restoration of historic buildings, to prepare a Summary Master Plan, documenting the status of the museum exterior and determining an initial “pilot” project. The Society will also work with contractor Vinny Muldoon, who is scheduled to begin work shortly. A PowerPoint shown during the evening highlighted photographs of the building’s deterioration, as well as uplifting highpoints of the Society’s numerous programs and events that are open to the public. In congratulatory letters, the Society was recognized for its ambitious project to restore the Museum’s exterior and the Gala Honorees received accolades for their community service from numerous organizations and individuals, including NYS Senator Kemp Hannon, NYS Assemblyman Ed Ra, Nassau County Legislator Laura Schaefer, Society for the Preservation of Long Island Antiquities (SPLIA) Executive Director Alexandra Wolfe,

Nassau County Village Officials Association President Bernie Ryba, Garden City Schools Superintendent Dr. Robert Feirsen, and the presidents of the Central, Eastern, Estates and Western Property Owners Associations. “…The Garden City Historical Society … deserves congratulations for its steadfast ability to catalyze action around the important work of enhancing a greater understanding and appreciation for the cultural legacy of Garden City,” wrote Alexandra Wolfe. Immediate Past President of the EPOA Joe Moody added, “…the Gala Honorees … are a prime example of the spirit of the Garden City community and are deserving of this recognition.” The Society wishes to thank our top event sponsor, Mannie Cordozso, of Heavy Duty Construction, for his generous donation at the A.T. Stewart Sponsor level. The Society also thanks its Cornelia Clinch Stewart Sponsors: All Sons Electric, the LoStritto Family, Brian A. Pinnola, and Salesforce.

Women represent Garden City at DAR Congress in Washington

Leslie Dimmling, Regent of the Garden City based Col. Aaron Ogden Chapter of the NSDAR, Isabelle Smith, Chapter Vice Regent, and Marjorie Musil, a member and former Garden City resident, traveled to represent the chapter at the 126th Continental Congress of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR). The event took place in Washington DC June 27 to July 2, with more than 3,300 women attending. The NSDAR boasts 185,000 members nationwide, and is a women’s service organization. It has a particular focus on patriotism, education and historic preservation. Members must document their descent from an American Revolutionary War patriot. This year the NSDAR recognized the work of Eugene Kranz, flight director for 33 Apollo and Gemini missions into space. In addition they honored Katherine Johnson of Hampton, Virginia. An African American math whiz, Johnson worked for NASA doing

math calculations, contributing to the success of the space program. She was recently portrayed in the film “Hidden Figures.” It was announced that the NSDAR donated $380,000 for the planting and maintenance of 76 trees to be placed in Independence Park in Philadelphia as part of the upcoming 250th Anniversary of the United States, called the semiquincentennial. In addition, they donated $104,000 this year to schools for the disadvantaged primarily located in the South. An additional $37,000 in scholarships were presented to Native American students. Numerous other honors and grants, too many to detail here, were also awarded during the Congress. Ms. Smith, Dimmling and Musil were pleased to represent their 88 year old chapter during this week long annual event. For information on how to join the NSDAR, contact Chapter Registrar June Fay at FayHead@Optonline.net .

At the meeting of the Mineola-Garden City Rotary Club, last Monday, July 24, Rotarians extended a warm welcome to Wendy Walsh/DeMaria, District 7255 Governor for 2017-18. It is the tradition for the District Governor to visit all the clubs within the District early in the new term to discuss the Rotary mission: “to provide service to others, promote integrity and to advance the world.” While discussing plans for the upcoming Rotary year, Wendy said she looks forward to supporting Club projects and programs already in process as well as new and progressive programs. she reported that she had emailed to District Clubs instructions on how to access all-encompassing information about Rotary by clicking onto the newly simplified Rotary Club Runner site. Wendy distributed cards containing her personal contact information and welcomed calls and emails from Rotarians with new ideas and comments. “We are working for you (District Clubs) to become stronger,” she said. She also stressed that it is important for each club to provide By-Laws containing invaluable information and that the By-Laws should be distributed to new members upon joining. In a recent message to District Clubs, and reiterated last Monday, Wendy spoke of the focus on polio eradication – so close … of efforts to bring well deserved assistance to veterans … and to further efforts toward the Gift of Life program – home grown on Long Island, and now gone global with 30,000 young lives having been saved. The heroin problem here on Long Island is another

of Rotary’s focuses, she said. Throughout her 24-year span as a Rotarian, Wendy’s services have been and are multifold. For example, as a member of the Hampton Bays, East Hampton and West Hampton Rotary Clubs, Wendy lobbied for the mandatory safety goggles for youth in athletic sports. Her extensive efforts in that direction made possible the participation of youth in contact sports programs. Wendy went on to organize and charter the Seatuck Cove RC in 2012. Among her many accomplishments as president, was her outfitting of two private schools in the Dominican Republic with uniforms and supplies enabling the children to attend school. Wendy serves on the Boards of the Gift of Life 726, RotaCare, and the Simple Hope Foundation. Over the years, extraordinary District Governor Wendy Walsh/ DeMaria and her husband Frank, along with their two children, have opened their home to VTT Exchange students, GSE, VTSTW, Friendship Exchanges and many Gift of Life children with their families. Wendy reports that she is committed to continuing the great work of Rotary both in her District and around the world in the years to come. The Mineola-Garden City Rotary Club meets on the second and fourth Mondays throughout the year, 12:15, at the Garden City Hotel. For information about membership, please call President Alba Spinelli at (516) 307-8870. Mark Calendars for Monday August 14: NYS Senator Elaine Phillips, Guest Speaker

36 Hours in Pittsburgh: Andy Warhol Museum, Strip District Point to City’s Ethnic Diversity BY KAREN RUBIN

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

I have come to Pittsburgh for the three-day, 120-mile Rails-to-Trails Conservancy’s Spring Sojourn on the Great Allegheny Passage that starts in Cumberland, Md. and ends in Pittsburgh, and used it as an opportunity to explore Pittsburgh, a city that once was known for steel mills, but which now has won accolades as “America’s most livable city.” I am fascinated to see how it made such a transition from grey to green. With only one full day to explore, I specifically seek out attractions that define Pittsburgh, all walkable within the downtown, getting advice from the Omni William Penn Hotel concierge. I start at its two remaining funiculars, going up the Monongahela Incline and down the Duquesne Incline which date from the 1870s, and stroll Grandview Avenue that links the two, and continue on to Point State Park and the Fort Pitt Museum (see 7/21). The Warhol Museum I had not realized that Andy Warhol was a native son of Pittsburgh (born to a Slovakian family of modest means, he attended Carnegie Mellon which was Carnegie Technical at the time). The Andy Warhol Museum, one of four of the Carnegie Museums, is See page D2

36 Hours in Pittsburgh: Andy Warhol Museum, Strip District Point to City’s Ethnic Diversity Continued from page D1

in the tradition of the Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, totally extolling the life of one artist. It basically continues what Andy Warhol did most successfully his whole life: market his art to inflate prices. The best part, for me, was learning more about his biography – what made him “tick”, his creative process and about his techniques. My own belief is that Warhol was more of a marketing genius than an artistic one (at least Salvador Dali was both a marketing genius and an artistic one), who unabashedly expropriated the art, creativity and effort of photojournalists and graphic artists (indeed, many of the works produced at his factory that he signed were produced by others) but I am willing to be convinced otherwise as I roam the museum. Indeed, as a placard notes, since the seven-story museum opened in 1994, there has been a steady increasing level of recognition of Warhol’s “singular contribution to 20th century art and his extraordinary influence on contemporary art internationally. The museum is on the forefront of research into Warhol’s work.” There is a timeline along the massive walls that document in excruciating detail Warhol’s life and learn such tidbits as: Andrew Warhola was born in 1928 to immigrants from Mikona in Slovakia; he graduated Carnegie Tech (which became Carnegie Mellon); in 1956 he met Edmond Walloaitch who used photography in his own works; most of Warhol’s early endeavors were self-published; he was inspired by popular culture and enlarged images from magazines and photographs with a projector, then painted the projection on canvas; he used a rubber stamp, then the silk screen process; the first silkscreen painting based on a photograph was a baseball, in 1962; he “replicated the look of commercial advertising, giving Warhol faithful duplication of his appropriated source image, while also allowing him to experiment with overpainting, off-register and endless chance combinations”. After graduating Carnegie Tech, he took a “risk” and came to New York City where he got his big break, illustrating a story “What is Success” for Glamour Magazine. “He became one of the most successful commercial illustrators.” A particularly noteworthy item on the timeline: 1972- after publication of his “Vote McGovern,” the IRS audited Warhol annually until his death.” Warhol died in 1987, at the age of 58. He created the “blotted line technique” – where he could trace or copy and an image “appropriating images from

The Andy Warhol Museum, a 7-story temple to the artist which opened in 1994, was created by the Andy Warhol Foundation, Dia Center for the Arts, and the Carnegie Foundation which operates the museum © 2016 Karen Rubin/ goingplacesfarandnear.

The Andy Warhol Museum pays homage to a native son of Pittsburgh © 2016 Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com popular culture” – and reproduce any number of them, factory-style. Warhol, we learn, made a fortune from portraits, once again, getting a giant commercial boost after an exhibit at the Whitney in 1979, curated by his close friend David Whitney (why am I not surprised?) consisting of 56 double portraits of artists, fashion designers, collectors, art dealers, which showcased an aspect of his painting “that he characterized as ‘business art’.” After the 1979 show, his private

portraits business hit heights- early 80s – he produced did 50 a year at $40K for 2-panel, or $2 million in annual profits. “He was unapologetic in his imposition of lucrative business model as part of his art practice.” I notice a prominently displayed portrait of Prince from 1984, which is up just after the musician’s death. Andy Warhol was known for his passion as a collector – very possibly an outgrowth of his impoverished childhood and his expropriation of others’ art and

design. Over his lifetime, he collected some 500,000 artifacts. There is an immense room, called the “Vault” that is filled with “time capsules” – 610 flimsy cartons, each with 500 objects. I found it totally ironic, though, that you are not allowed to take any photos since Warhol’s art was based on expropriating the images and designs created by others (ie. Campbell Soup Can, Marilyn Monroe photo). You can take part in workshops to learn the silkscreening techniques he used. The museum is a must-see for anyone who is a fan. The Andy Warhol Museum was created by the Andy Warhol Foundation, Dia Center for the Arts, and the Carnegie Foundation which operates the museum. It is one of four Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh (Carnegie Museum of Art, Carnegie Museum of National History and Carnegie Science Center are the others, www.carnegiemuseums.org). The Andy Warhol Museum, 117 Sandusky Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15212, 412-237-8300,www.warhol.org ($20/ adults, $10/students and children 3-18, half price on Fridays, 5-10 pm; closed Mondays). Strip District I walk back over the 7th Street Bridge (The Andy Warhol Bridge, as it happens), into Pittsburgh’s Cultural District, where there is a cluster of theaters and galleries, including one named for another native son of Pittsburgh, playwright August Wilson (there is an August Wilson Center/ African American Cultural Center, 980 Liberty Avenue, in the Cultural District). I take it all in, but I am en route to the interestingly named Strip District, where literally in front of your eyes, you can see gentrification unfold – factories converted to apartments and lofts. This has become an amazing restaurant district, capitalizing on the diverse immigrant experience in Pittsburgh. Within a few blocks, there is a United Nations-worth of dining traditions and markets. The Strip District is described as “authentic Pittsburgh,” where the locals go for great goods at low prices. The streets along the half-mile long district are linked with restaurants, ethnic grocers, produce stands, sidewalk vendors, meat and fish markets – a haven for foodies.

Senator John Heinz History Center (more formally known as the Historical Society of Western Pennsylvania) is Pennsylvania’s largest history museum and, since 2000, an affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution. The Senator John Heinz History Center presents compelling stories from American history with a Western Pennsylvania connection in an interactive environment; the museum’s Smallman Street home combines the former Chautauqua Lake Ice Company building with a five-story Smithsonian wing. The Western Pennsylvania Sports Museum, a museum-within-a-museum located on the History Center’s second and third floors, celebrates the region’s passion for amateur and professional sports, from football to baseball and hockey to golf. More than 250 years of Western Pennsylvania’s history is preserved at the Thomas and Katherine Detre

Library & Archives. Founded in 1879, the Library & Archives’ collections, located on the History Center’s sixth floor, are accessible to researchers, students, and the general public. The new Museum Conservation Center provides visitors with professional services and expert advice on how to properly preserve and care for family heirlooms.

out the historic Omni William Penn Hotel – a member of Historic Hotels of America – which celebrated its centennial in 2016 the same year as the city celebrated its bicentennial, and is so much a part of Pittsburgh’s story. I love wandering around, immersing myself in the taking in the ambiance, admiring its stunning architectural features and Art Decostyle appointments, and, as if these walls could talk, hearing its stories as if whispered in my ear. There are historic displays, photos, artifacts and artwork in various places that convey the story. Indeed, in its award-winning restaurant, The Terrace Room, that dates from 1916, there is an enormous mural that pays homage to the city’s history depicting “The Taking of Fort Pitt”.

There are Neat People & then there are the Not-So-Neat! BY CLAIRE LYNCH When I was a child I was taught not to judge a book by its cover and sure enough, that advice has always something I’ve kept in the back of my mind. It’s served me well. Still, I can always tell the immaculate people – those very tidy ones – with the perfect homes and the carefully groomed lawns a mile away. My secret really is very simple- appearances tell all! When women my age wear winter coats, that is solid-colored coats with matching gloves, scarves and hats, and their hair is styled just so, that’s a signal to me that I have before my very eyes an immaculate person and immaculate people, I’ve discovered along the way, also have immaculate homes, offices and cars. The people who have no papers on their desks except for the ones they’re working on are the immaculate people. Their files are all lined up in the drawers of metal file cabinets and labeled neatly by subject. Their typing paper never wrinkles, their pens always write and their stationery (monogrammed or not!) is in vast supply. When given holiday gifts or birthday gifts or have-a-good-summer gift, they are sure to write lovely, personalized thank you notes and pop them in the U.S. mail even though nowadays most other people would write some nice emails, press the “send” button and let them go on their way. Presto, magic, that’s done! The immaculate office works are the people who keep those bottles of household cleaners in the drawers of their desks, out of sight, of course, and as sure as the sun rises and sets each day, they

spray their desks and telephones so that they are always glistening clean. They are the ones who may have ditched their neatly-organized Rolodexes - that’s too old-fashioned for them - but they have their contacts lined up in the smart phones perfectly. They keep their electronic calendars up to date and at their fingertips. At home and at work, their potted plants are always green. They water them on Fridays at work and on Sundays at home. Immaculate people usually like maintaining their schedules! At home, immaculate people are the envy of the neighborhood. They’re so organized that they’ve got their Christmas decorations up and working by December 1 the latest, in spite of sickness, hurricane, flood or tornado. Their Easter outfits are chosen in January. They may not say so, but if you happen to ask, you’ll get a nod and a wink for their cleverness from the immaculate people. They always shop a season ahead of time so lawn mowers are purchased in February and if they are not buying one that particular year, they check them to be sure they’re working and humming along just fine. Their barbecue grills are purchased in March even if there’s still six inches of snow covering the patio furniture and they always make sure that the orange and brown Halloween motifs are concocted in April. Immaculate people have a way of irritating procrastinators to no end. They’re so organized and so punctual that they put procrastinators to shame but they’re (usually but not always) too polite to point out the faux pas of someone else

less perfect. As I write all about the immaculate people of the world, and in particular about the ones I know, they are probably designing their fall and wintertime outfits, mixing and matching different pieces of clothing and accessories until the various outfits look just right. During the dead of winter, they’re probably busy daydreaming about their summer gardens, poring over magazines and catalogs, choosing seedlings and bulbs by mailing away to faraway lands for the most exotic, most colorful plants. They’re probably also hoarding supplies of trash bags for when those autumn leaves begin to fall and starting to plan their spring 2018 vacations. I’m not talking about dreaming about the spring 2018 vacations, I’m talking about checking out the hotels, the plane fares, the rental cars and then booking them. Immaculate people, I’ve learned, don’t like having any loose ends hanging around! They keep detailed notes and very often they live and breathe by their checklists because things must be done, done, done! I’ve noticed over the years that immaculate people like things very orderly and that includes lining up their VHS tapes and DVD cases on shelves in the proper order. Usually the “proper order” means alphabetically so when they fetch them, they can easily reach to “G” for “The Green Mile,” “S” for “Sister Act” and Sister Act 2,” and “W” for “The Wizard of Oz.” In going through my older sister, Michelle’s, kitchen whenever I’ve stayed overnight, hunting for drinking glasses or oatmeal or some popcorn kernels that

we can pop, I couldn’t help but notice that when I opened her cabinet, her cereal boxes were all lined up in size order. The shortest one was to the left and the tallest one was to the right. I was almost afraid to take a box out and have a bowl of cereal but then I promised myself that I would be sure to put it back exactly where I had found it. Or else someone would definitely notice it was off kilter. When I took a second look in her cabinet, I was just glad that her cereal boxes weren’t in alphabetical order! My friend, Karen, is an immaculate person and when she showed me around her new house I noticed that not only was her walk-in clothes closet organized (and spiffy clean!), but the shirts and blouses hanging on their hangers went from pastel-colored shirts on the left to the darkest-colored shirts on the right. Speechless, I just kind of shook my head – and blinked my eyes – in amazement! Immaculate people always pride themselves on having clean houses and apartments and of course that means there are no dust bunnies on the floors. Mirrors are squeaky clean all the time and any trash is removed promptly. Rows and rows of vacuuming marks are left on wall-towall carpeting because their homes are vacuumed so regularly. Their cleaning equipment gets used! I loaned my sister who was visiting for a week from down South my slightly-lessthan brand new car a couple of years ago and at first she was as pleased as punch because someone picked her up at the airport and dropped her off very punctually See page D6

More Widows ... More Questions BY TOM MARGENAU Perhaps I’ve opened the floodgates? I’ve written a several columns over the past month or two discussing Social Security widow’s benefits. But it seems the more explaining I do, the more questions I get! So, once again, more questions from more widows. Q: Here is something I cannot figure out. Why am I getting so much more in widow’s benefits than I am due in my own Social Security? I will admit that my husband had a well-paying job and I did not. But he died at age 42. I worked until I was 62, albeit at a middle-income job. My widow’s benefit is $2,675. My own retirement benefit is only $1,790. I paid into Social Security for a much longer time. So why isn’t my benefit higher than my husband’s benefit? A: I can understand your confusion. You would think that because you paid into Social Security for at least 20 more years than your husband, and that he died more than two decades ago when earnings weren’t as high as they are today, that your own benefit rate would be higher. But your widow’s rate is more because of the way those benefits are figured. Your retirement benefit is based on your average income using a 35-year base of earnings. And the more years that are used to compute a benefit, the lower that benefit is going to be. For example, if retirement benefits were based on your average income over just the last three years, that would produce a much higher benefit than if 35 years are used. Or to put that another way, the more years of earnings used from so long ago when you were in your 20s and 30s and probably not making as much as you are now, the lower your overall average income will be and the lower your Social Security retirement benefit will be. But in your husband’s case, his Social Security record was essentially closed on the day he died. So instead of using 35 years, they only used about 20 years of earnings to figure his benefit. And like the earnings used in your retirement computation, all of those 20 years of earnings he had were indexed for inflation. You said your husband had a well-paying job. And all of those high earnings he had translate into a high Social Security benefit. And now they translate into a widow’s benefit that is higher than your own Social Security check. Q: I am 73 years old. My husband died late last year. After he died, my own $968 retirement benefit stopped and I started getting what he was receiving when he died. I get a

widow’s check of $2,147 per month. So I’d like to know: Where did my money go? A: You’re still getting it. Because you see a deposit of $2,147 per month in your bank account, you may think you are just getting straight widow’s benefits off of your husband’s record. But what is actually happening is that you are being paid from both your own and your husband’s Social Security account. Or to put that another way, you are getting $968 in your own retirement benefits. Then they are adding $1,179 in widow’s benefits from your husband’s record to take you up to his $2,147 rate. Q: I am getting widow’s benefits. I only get $1,640 per month. I have a friend who is also a widow. She was getting $1,900 per month, but she just got bumped up to about $2,200. We are both 70 years old. Both of our husbands worked for the same company and made roughly the same amount of money. Why is she getting so much more? A: This woman’s question intrigued me. Even though there are several reasons why she might be getting more money, I was curious and wanted to learn more. We probably exchanged about a half dozen emails before I finally figured out what is going on. The woman who sent the email started her widow’s benefits at age 62. So she is getting about 82 percent of her husband’s basic Social Security benefit. Her friend was age 65 when she became a widow. So she is getting about 92 percent of her husband’s Social Security rate. And the “bump up” to $2,200 is also easily explainable. Turns out her friend worked much of her life and has her own Social Security benefit. And when she was 65 and talked to the Social Security people, she chose the “widow’s option.” She took a reduced widow’s benefit (the 92 percent rate mentioned above) and saved her own retirement benefit until age 70. At that point, she was able to switch to 132 percent of her own retirement benefit. That’s her full age 66 rate, plus a 32 percent bonus for delaying her own benefits until age 70. Q: I am 68 years old. I have my own Social Security number, of course. But my Medicare card has my husband’s number on it with a “D” behind it. Why can’t I have my own Social Security number on my Medicare card? A: I’m going to be discussing this in more detail in next week’s column. But for now I can tell you that you must be getting widow’s benefits on your husband’s Social Security record. And your Medicare number reflects your Social Security claim number. Because you are claiming benefits on your husband’s account, his number shows up on your

Medicare card. And “D” is the symbol the Social Security Administration uses to denote widow’s benefits. If you have a Social Security question,

This is true of The William Penn, whose history parallels that of the city and the nation, as I learn from a wonderful pamphlet, “A Grand Dame Named William Penn,” by Marianne Lee. The William Penn Hotel was the last building venture of Henry Clay Frick, one of Pittsburgh’s wealthiest industrialists. Frick envisioned the William Penn

That added 600 more guestrooms as well as the hotel’s crowning jewel, the Urban Room, designed by Joseph Urban, when it was finished in 1929. With this addition, The William Penn became the largest hotel between Pittsburgh and Chicago, and the major convention facility for Pittsburgh. But Eppley, who was the vanguard of a new breed of professional hotelier who saw his patrons not as customers but as guests, lost control of the hotel in the Great Depression, and new owners brought in the Statler Hotels company to manage it 1940-1951.

Guests were dazzled by such modern amenities including iced drinking water on top, “certified” lighting, electrically operated clocks, a telephone in every room connected to a master switchboard with 30 operators at the ready, and a private bathroom in an age when most Americans still used outdoor privies and most hotels offered only shared facilities. Built at a cost of $6 million, when it opened, newspapers proclaimed The William Penn as the “Grandest Hotel in the nation.” Its first night featured the annual Pittsburgh Chamber of Commerce Gala, the largest gala in city history up to that time, which was hosted by US Secretary of State Philander Knox. When the hotel was first built, it had 1,000 guestrooms (interesting to contemplate since it only has 597 today), and an elegant two-tier Grand Ballroom on the 17th floor. In 1928, the hotel was acquired by the Eppley Hotel Company and Eugene Eppley, a Horatio Alger rags-to-riches figure, financed a major expansion, the Grant Street Annex.

regained control, but over the years, this Grand Dame was held by Sheraton, then a group of local investors, then Alcoa, which invested $20 million in a substantial renovation, and finally Omni Hotels & Resorts, in 2001.

There are Neat People & then there are the Not-So-Neat! C ontinued from page D3

plus she had the use of my car. Then she was horrified when she found some stray papers on the front passenger seat. “What’s this mess?” she asked? I mumbled some answer but I really didn’t think that two papers were a mess. Later on, all I could say was, “Sorry, sis! I’m not an immaculate person!!” She didn’t want to hear any excuses but I quickly changed the subject and whew, we got off the subject of cleanliness. Speaking of cars, immaculate people not only have very n-e-a-t cars but often have subscriptions to their local car wash. It has to be the most thorough, the best, most superior car wash around that will keep their car perfectly clean for when they go to work, go shopping or go visit someone. Going to the car wash becomes a habit for them and they zip in and out of there as regularly as they go food shopping, pay their bills, etc. If they miss a quick drive thru at the car wash they feel as if something is lacking in their lives. A habit is a habit, after all. They make it up as quickly as they can and then life is good again. All is well in their worlds. Not only do the immaculate people I know keep their cars tidy but they often adhere to a strict maintenance schedule.

They never miss an appointment with the mechanic and always have them well tuned up. Their car engines usually purr like kittens. I make do with a less than clean car but I can spot an immaculate person a mile away because if there happens to be a smudge on their otherwise clean car they are quick to whip out a towel or a tissue and wipe it clean. Then the smiles reappear on their faces. Any spills are wiped up as soon as they occur. Photos are scanned on their computers thereby eliminating the need for scrapbooks and any stray photo albums. When I protested, saying that I liked holding albums in my hands and perusing them, all of my immaculate friends did their own protests, saying that clutter is absolutely no good. In the 1970s there was a very popular TV show called “The Odd Couple” which starred Oscar Madison (Jack Klugman) and Felix Unger (Tony Randall) who played two divorced men who shared a Manhattan apartment. That was hysterical – and very well acted. Felix always appeared well dressed – in fact, dapper would be a perfect word to describe him because he was very neat in his finely-tailored suits and ties, perfectly pressed shirts, shined shoes and not a hair out of place.

Oscar on the other hand, was much more informal (and sloppier) in his baggy clothes and baseball cap. Oscar played a sportswriter. Felix played a commercial photographer. Their different lifestyles inevitably led to disagreements and lots of laughs by the viewers. When my younger sister, Susan, and I shared a bedroom growing up in our split-level house in Rockville Centre, we often kidded that we were just like Felix and Oscar. She was the neat one and I wasn’t a slob but you could say that I wasn’t quite as neat and organized as Susan was. When she came home from school or church Susan would hang her clothes neatly in our closet. When I came home from being out I’d drape them over a chair. She files bills immediately and puts menus, coupons, etc. in a cupboard so she can find them when she needs them. Susan controls the paper in her house by tossing things regularly. She looks through all of the piles and makes quick decisions. I have to hand it to Susan – she determinedly declutters. I could go on and on but you get the idea. To this day she is an immaculate person and I am … well … not quite as concerned about that. Decluttering appeals to Susan – in fact, it’s one of her favorite words and she gets to work on

her projects – whereas I just roll my eyes whenever I hear that word. The immaculate people I know line up their garden rakes, hoes, shovels and other tools just so in the garage. They place their noodles for the swimming pools gently on horizontal hooks in the garage and line up their families’ bicycles in size order against the inner wall of the garage. They bag up their kids’ toys and place them in cabinets so that whenever company enters their homes they look neat and clean. They usually order two pairs of prescription eyeglasses and two pairs of prescription sunglasses - just in case the first pair goes. Beach towels are cleaned, folded and placed in the linen closet according to their size. Spare beach sandals are lined up and bottles of sun tan lotion and shampoo are always at hand, not just for them but for their visitors, too. So if you’re like me, if you’re still vacuuming up needles from last year’s Christmas tree and putting some red and green ornaments away, don’t feel too badly. Some of my best friends are immaculate people but I’d still rather be me.

Take the Sag out of That Closet Rod and Other Useful Tips BY MARY HUNT

Whether it’s a sagging closet rod, kale down the garbage disposal or premium fuel in the gas tank, EC readers are always anxious to share their best tips, tricks and ideas for ways to save time and money -- and avoid potential headaches! SAG NO MORE. To fix a sagging clothes rod, buy a piece of 1/2-inch galvanized pipe and a piece of 3/4inch polyvinyl chloride piping, or PVC piping, both the same length as the rod. You can get these at your local home improvement center, such as Home Depot or Lowe’s. Remove the sagging rod. Slip the pipe inside the PVC to create a new rod, and slide this into the rod brackets. If you are bothered by the printing on the PVC, clean it off with rubbing alcohol. -- Bob STICKY, MESSY SAP. A cheap and safe way to remove pine tree sap from your car without damaging the finish is to rub it with a soft cloth soaked with plain 70 percent isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol), which is available at the pharmacy or drug store for a buck

or two. -- George SECRET INFO. When you finish refurbishing a room in your home, write down this important information on a piece of paper, and tape it to the back of the switch plate: the brand and color of the paint, how much it took to paint the room and the circuit breaker number that serves the room. You’ll be happy to find the information next time. -- Trevor KALE, NO! I made a big mistake recently when I cut a bunch of kale up into smaller pieces and put it down the garbage disposal. I let it grind like crazy and followed it with tons of water, and still, it clogged up the system in my apartment building for three floors down. It took maintenance four hours to clear it. They said, “The lettuce turned into something similar to glue/concrete!” -- Naomi SUPER CUBE. This is a crazy simple tip, but it works for me. I love ice-cold water and must have it at all times. However, at work the water is just cool, not the icy deliciousness I require. I solved this issue by taking a bottle of water

slightly less than half full and laying it down sideways in the freezer. (We are lucky enough to have two refrigerators in our break room.) Later, I grabbed the frozen half bottle and filled it up with water. Voila! Ice-cold water for several hours. I just keep filling it up until its time to get out another one. Just make sure not to put too much water in the bottle, or you won’t be able to fill it with water. -- Laurel STICK WITH REGULAR. Most gas stations offer unleaded premium for 10 to 12 more cents per gallon more than unleaded regular. Many customers think they’re giving their car some kind of extra care or treat by filling up with what they think is the best. Don’t do it. Virtually all automobiles run just fine on regular unleaded, so unless your owners manual specifically states that your car requires a premium grade of gas with higher octane, save your money and stick with regular. -- David LEVEL PAY. After consulting my yearly budget, what I’ve done with my electricity and heating bills is pay the same amount each

month. Because I live on fixed income, I send each of those utility providers a flat $100 per month. This means I purposely overpay for heat in the summer when the furnace is not in use and overpay the electric company in the winter when I’m not running my central air conditioning. I’ve been doing this for years. No big bills in the summer for the electric; no big bills in the winter for the heat. This takes the mystery out of my budget and works quite well for me. -- Pam FLIP THE PAINT. Store partially full cans of paint upside down. The paint will form an airtight seal, extending its life. -- Ted

NUTRITION NEWS ~ Swapping Proteins BY CHARLYN FARGO

I recently helped a 16-year-old learn about choosing plant proteins she had decided to become a vegetarian, but she wasn’t really sure just what that meant. Her decision was based on the fact she didn’t really like eating meat. While we perused the grocery aisles that are now full of vegetarian choices, my goal was to help her make the best choices -- whole grains, high quality proteins and lots of variety. Turns out, making the right choices can be critical in whether a vegetarian diet is healthy or not. For years, the mantra has been that eating lots of fruits, vegetables and grains will ward off heart disease, but a new study suggests that choosing the wrong ones may backfire. In a study of more than 200,000 U.S. health professionals, researchers found those who ate plenty of healthy plant foods -- such as vegetables, beans and whole grains -- did have a lower risk of heart disease. That was not true, however, if people loaded up on foods that are technically plant-based, but not all that healthy. In fact, diets heavy in pasta, bread, potatoes and sweets, appeared just as bad as, if not worse than, diets high in animal protein. It’s crucial that people consider the nutritional quality of the plant foods

they choose, says lead researcher Ambika Satija, with Harvard School of Public Health in Boston. The study was published in the July 25 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. The findings involved three studies that began in the 1980s and 1990s. Every two to four years, the participants gave detailed information on their diets. Satija’s team looked at the quality of the plant foods people typically ate, and how that overall quality related to their risk of developing heart disease. By 2013, over 8,600 study participants had suffered a heart attack or died of heart disease. The risk was lower among people who regularly ate plenty of healthy plant foods, including fruits and vegetables, legumes, nuts and whole grains (such as cooked oatmeal and brown rice), the study found. Those in the top 10 percent for healthy plant-food intake fared best: They were one-quarter less likely to develop heart disease than those in the bottom 10 percent. In contrast, the reverse pattern was seen among people who ate a lot of lessthan-healthy plant foods -- like potatoes, refined grains (white bread, pasta and crackers) and sugary fruit juices. Those in the top 10 percent were almost one-third more likely to develop heart disease, versus people in the bottom 10 percent.

People who loaded up on animal products -- such as meat, cheese and butter -- also showed a heightened risk of heart disease. But the link between unhealthy plant foods and heart ills was a bit stronger, the researchers noted. The bottom line? The more healthy plant foods you eat, the better. However, the findings suggest that people don’t have to go to extremes with their diet to reap heart benefits. Start with moderate decreases in animal products, maybe fewer servings of red and processed meats, and replace them with healthy plant-based foods such as legumes, vegetables and nuts. Try a meatless Monday or use kidney beans on a salad for your protein instead of meat. Small steps can reap big health benefits. Q and A Q: How can I be sure the flour I buy is really whole wheat? A: Whole wheat flours are readily available in our grocery stores and in most cases, can be easily identified by text on the front of the package or ingredient list. Flours with text such as “traditional whole wheat flour”, or “100 percent whole wheat flour,” or “white whole wheat flour” indicates that it is, indeed a whole wheat flour. On the other hand, the lack of the word, “whole wheat” or descriptions such as “enriched white

flour” or “all- purpose flour” point towards a refined white flour (i.e. whole wheat flour that has been milled to remove the nutrient-rich outer bran and inner germ layers). Perhaps what’s a little confusing for shoppers is determining whether “white whole wheat flour” is, in fact, a whole wheat flour. Its white appearance makes it look like a refined flour, and this is because this flour is made from a wheat variety whose outer bran is lighter in color. Taking a look at the first ingredient on the package will help dispel any doubts - it should clearly state “white whole wheat flour”. Substituting whole wheat for white flour into your baking and cooking practices offers some variation to the taste and texture of your dishes, and at the same time, increases the dietary fiber in your diet. Try it, and see if you can tell the difference. -- Tufts University Health & Nutrition Letter.

Journey with Acupuncture Traditional Chinese Medicine: The Alternative Remedy

When you ask the average person, “What does acupuncture treat?” The common response is, “Pain,” or, “I heard it helps with fertility treatment.” Jaime and Janet are two women who have benefited from acupuncture beyond their expectation. Both referred by loved ones and seeking acupuncture treatment, Jaime was diagnosed with infertility while Janet suffered with tendonitis and severe pain. While receiving fertility treatment, Jaime was diagnosed premenopausal. In addition to her biweekly acupuncture treatments, she was treated with Chinese herbs that not only helped revive her menstrual cycle, but also helped her sleep better. Beyond her initial need for consultation, Jaime had suffered from vertigo for over 10 years. The vertigo she suffered was found to be a symptom of Hoshimoto’s disease, an autoimmune disease that leads to underactive thyroid function. Using acupuncture as a means of maintenance and preventative medicine, For a consultation, Please contact one of our local offices:

Jaime hasn’t had a bad episode of vertigo since 2015 and is convinced of how it has contributed to her health. “More than the obvious benefits, it’s relaxing. It’s more than worth trying. Do the research on all the ailments [acupuncture] treats!” Jaime advised. Janet was about to get hand surgery when her son advised her to seek acupuncture therapy first. Her hand was “purple,” abnormally swollen and in severe pain. As a Type II, insulin dependent diabetic, it was not in her best interest to undergo surgery because she doesn’t heal well. In addition to her initial complaints, Janet had suffered with Frozen Shoulder Syndrome that she did not declared to her acupuncture doctor. “I have been a patient [at Empire Medicine] for about five weeks. For three and half years my hand was [purple]. Now my hands are the same color. They tried everything in physical therapy [for my frozen Shoulder Syndrome]. I must’ve gone for a year and a half. Finally the

physical therapist said to me, ‘I can’t torture you anymore. I’m hurting you so badly. And, you walk out of here and you’re all locked up again.’ After 2 [acupuncture] treatments and the herbs, I saw a tremendous difference. I can put my hands behind my back. My hand is normal. I lost a little weight. I would recommend acupuncture to anybody!” Janet exclaimed. Acupuncture treatment for pain and fertility is common knowledge that overshadows the other medically documented treatments of underlying ailments that are simultaneously treated if not remedied. It further bears consequence when the common person understands acupunctureas a sole entity where it is a mere component of a whole. Traditional Chinese Medicine uses acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Medicine, massage (Tuina) and exercise (Ch’i gong) to create a balance in one’s Ch’i: the fundamental concept of energy flow and life force that streams through all living things.

Most people are familiar with the yin yang concept of balance that is an emphasized component in Traditional Chinese Medicine. With thegrowing knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine’s collective treatment, the common person suffering from insomnia, diabetes, obesity, autism, anemia, ADHD, neurological disorders (i.e. MS and Parkinson’s disease) and even those who want to quit smoking can benefit from the alternative remedy. Complimentary to Western Medicine, the physicians at Empire Medicine use their expertise in Traditional Chinese Medicine to focus on areas of immunology and endocrinology.

Clearing up adult acne Many youngsters develop acne during adolescence. Acne often disappears by the time adolescents graduate high school, but for some people, acne lingers into adulthood. The American Academy of Dermatology says adults can get acne, which may persist as adults reach their 30s, 40s or 50s. Some people even develop acne for the first time as adults, a condition known as adult-onset acne. Although both men and women can develop acne, women tend to get adult acne more often than men. Adult acne can bße particularly frustrating for adults who had acne as children. Understanding what’s behind the blemishes can help people get the treatment they need to banish breakouts.

ic, women can speak with their doctors about hormone therapy or birth control pills to see if either option can alleviate the hormone fluctuations that contribute to acne. • Family history: Genes also may be to blame for adult acne, as some people may have a genetic predisposition to acne. • Medication: Acne may be a side effect of certain medications. If medicine is triggering breakouts, women can discuss potential alternatives with their physicians. • Sugar: Some evidence suggests that sugar can contribute to acne by raising insulin levels, which then triggers oil-releasing male hormones. Stick to foods that do not trigger a sugar (and insu-

• Stress: Stress may contribute to adult acne. When stressed, the body releases certain hormones, most notably cortisol, to address the problem. Skin experts say that testosterone can accompany cortisol, which can drive oil glands to produce more oil. Stress can lead to more oily skin, which increases the likelihood of breakouts. Learning how to reduce stress can lead to clearer skin. • Hormonal changes: Fluctuations in hormones are normal for women. Estrogen and progesterone levels vary depending on the menstrual cycle. The Johns Hopkins Department of Dermatology says that acne is prevalent before one’s menstrual cycle, and can also occur during menopause when hormones are in flux again. If acne is problemat-

Australian researchers found that people who followed a low-glycemic index diet (which is low in refined carbohydrates like those found in white bread) had a 22 percent decrease in acne lesions, compared with a control group that ate more high-GI foods. • Salt: It’s not the greasy fries that cause acne, but it very well may be the salt on those fries. Some doctors suspect that sodium can cause issues with the skin because the iodine found in table salt and seafood can build up and make acne worse. If these options do not work, speak with a dermatologist about cleansing regimens and topical treatments that can help reduce acne breakouts.

36 Hours in Pittsburgh: Andy Warhol Museum, Strip District Point to City’s Ethnic Diversity Continued from page D5 movers, shakers and celebrities. A young bandleader named Lawrence Welk, who would later gain fame for his television show, performed in the hotel’s ballrooms; the hotel’s engineers actually devised Welk’s iconic bubble machine – a connection commemorated by naming a ballroom for him, and in large photographic murals. In 1934, a young vocalist named Dolores DeFina accepted a marriage proposal at The William Penn from the inimitable Bob Hope. The hotel remains celebrated as a wedding venue (including being named to the “Best of Weddings 2009” list by The Knot ). A popular campaign spot as well as for presidential appearances, The Omni William Penn Hotel has received every president since Theodore Roosevelt (who visited in 1917 to attend a Moose Convention), including John Kennedy and Barack Obama.

Then, as now, The William Penn combines every modern amenity with timeless elegance: 597 beautifully appointed guestrooms including 38 suites, 52,000 square feet of flexible meeting space, and five dining venues including its fine dining room, The Terrace Room, the Palm Court, a pubstyle Tap Room, Starbucks Coffee Café, The Speakeasy (in 1920s tradition tucked beneath the hotel lobby), plus 24-hour room service. The hotel boasts two selfcontained conference centers, a 24-hour fitness center, beauty salon, gift shop, and a jewelry store. There is every amenity, nicety and graciousness, beginning with fresh apples at reception and a concierge available to help with every situation. My room is outfitted with plush robe, refrigerator, bottled water, coffee maker, big screen TV, hair dryer, ironing board/ iron, safe, WiFi (free if you enroll in Omni Hotels loyalty program). I take advantage of the opportunity

to order two beverages (at no charge) plus other items at modest cost for the morning ($3 for an English muffin; $3 for a toasted bagel with cream cheese, $2.75 for a muffin, $3.75 for Greek yogurt, etc.), especially when I have to leave at 5:15 am to get to the start of my Rails-to-Trails biking trip on the Great Allegheny Passage. You tell them a 15-minute window when you want it to be delivered, and sure enough, it arrives right on time. So does my car, waiting for me when I depart. The hotel is smack in the middle of the city, walking distance to all the downtown attractions, restaurants, cultural and financial center. Here’s a recap of my Day in Pittsburgh Walking Tour: Omni William Penn Hotel, Monongahela Incline, Duquesne Incline, Point State Park, Fort Pitt Museum, National Aviary, Andy Warhol Museum, Heinz History Center, Strip District.

GC Schools say goodbye to Superintendent Robert Feirsen As the school year wound down and thoughts turned toward saying a final farewell to Garden City Public School’s 12-year Superintendent, Dr. Robert Feirsen, each school district group said goodbye in its own special way at the Board of Education’s 2017 Retiree and Service Recognition Ceremony held on June 13th. From members of the Board, to the GC PTA, teachers, paraprofessionals, clerical, and members of the administration, each honored the educational leader who guided the school district, one of the top in the state and the nation, through a mind-boggling array of changes that took place since he became Superintendent of Schools in 2005: the technological revolution, the financial turmoil of the Great Recession, the politicization of public education, and the application of research-based best practices for teaching and learning in a fast-paced, information laden, global economy. At this year’s Retiree Ceremony, it was no surprise that some of the most heartfelt well wishes for a happy retirement came from the students and staff at the June 13th event, at which more than 30 retiring staff members were also hon-

ored by the Board. Dr. Feirsen was presented with several meaningful tokens of appreciation by the students and building principals, from hand-painted portraits created by the district’s art teachers and signed by students and staff, to handmade books with illustrations and advice from primary school students on how to best spend his time in retirement. It is true that Dr. Feirsen is retiring from the school district on July 31st, however, he will probably not be, in the words of our youngest writers, “fishing,” “cooking,” or “learning to surfboard.” He is stepping into a new role as the Director of NYIT’s Leadership Program, including becoming a faculty member overseeing teachers who aspire to be school administrators and school leaders pursuing their end degrees. As he embarks on this new path, we extend heartfelt thanks to Dr. Robert Feirsen for his 12 years of dedicated service to the students, parents, teachers, and staff of Garden City Public Schools, and best wishes for a happy future with many years of successful educational leadership still to come! Continued on page 41

As a retiree, Dr. Feirsen also accepted the district’s traditional parting token of a Tiffany crystal apple from Board President Angela Heineman.

In addition to their banner, Locust students and Principal Dr. Jean Ricotta presented Dr. Feirsen with a book of illustrations and advice on how to spend his retirement.

In the spirit of “Great minds thinking alike,” GCHS Principal Nanine McLaughlin presented Dr. Feirsen with another hand painted portrait by high school art teachers, this one signed by the HS students and staff.

The Music Academy of Garden City is finishing up its eleventh year as Garden City and Long Island’s premier music school. Our 2016-17 School Year has been our most successful yet, and we are honored that many of you shared it with us. This year marked the implementation of our newest program, Musical Theatre at the Music Academy, which combined our world-class voice instructors with acting coaches and choreographers to create a comprehensive theatre program. Our theatre students performed in two fully staged concerts at The Space in Westbury – complete with professional sound, lighting and a live pit band – to rave reviews. In class, students studied a variety of topics including IPA, vocal and acting techniques, researched circumstance reports, participated in a headshot day, and auditioned in front of a panel of MAGC faculty. In February, we held the “First Annual Milt Hinton Memorial Bass Hang,” which featured Grammy-winning musician and educator Dr. Todd Coolman and jazz bassist Doug Weiss. Held at Garden City High School, students learned about jazz and improvisation, and performed with a professional drummer and guitarist in a rhythm section. This year we welcomed Artist in Residence, jazz drummer Dr. Chris Smith, who taught private lessons and co-directed our Playing with the Pros program. Dr. Smith has performed with jazz greats such as Randy Brecker, Rufus Reid, Dick Oats, Benny

Green, and the Village Vanguard Jazz Orchestra. He also penned the definitive book on drummer Mel Lewis, The View from the Back of the Band. 2016 saw the launch of our BOCES Arts in Education program, which sends MAGC faculty members to public schools to hold clinics on a variety of topics. Our program, “Jazz for Young People: A Musical and Cultural Experience” is currently being booked for the upcoming school year around Long Island. I am also extremely excited to announce our newest endeavor, The Music Academy Foundation, Inc., a non-profit organization designed to foster the arts in our area in a variety of ways, including funding a pre-college jazz program and providing instruments to needy school districts. Our greatest accomplishment this year, as always, is our students. This year, we had many students receive perfect NYSSMA scores, get lead roles in their school plays, receive music awards, and get accepted into some of the finest universities including Cornell, University of Michigan (which boasts the nation’s top musical theatre program), Hofstra, and more. To our students, their families, and our faculty and staff, I sincerely thank you for making this year our very best yet. I look forward to this summer and upcoming school year, which will be filled with more music-making, learning, and fun! Dr. Peter Coco is President of the Music Academy of Garden City, Adjunct Professor of Music at Hofstra University, and a professional jazz bassist who has toured and performed around the world.

The Best Secret in Town

Did you know that each of our neighborhood parks runs a playground program every summer? Children entering 1st through 8th grades who are residents of the Village are invited to come to the park during the summer to find out what activities are taking place. Each park has its own “flavor” and “favorite” activities. The Park Directors and their staff run games, sports, tournaments, and arts and crafts activities during the day and into the evening. Trips are also run through the parks. These activities, except for the trips, are free to anyone attending. Registration is not necessary. A child may attend any day they choose. The children are supervised while in the park, but the children attending must be able to come and go to the park as they please or a parent or child care provider must be in attendance while the child participates. This program can not be used as babysitting.

Gazebo Concert Series announced

July 13th started our popular Summer Gazebo Concert Series on the Village Green. Concerts are held every Thursday at 7:15 pm so bring a blanket or a lawn chair and join us!

VILLAGE SPORTS

Friday, July 28, 2017 The Garden City News

Village to review downtown street-scape

From page 6 Seventh and Franklin. We pointed out things that had been neglected with routine maintenance and urged the village to do something about it. These items should be in Garden City’s budget and preserving the investments the village made some time ago does not require going to the Planning Commission,” Matthews said. He says things can be done now along the lines of civic beautification (for which Garden City has a separate committee) and village maintenance of on-street items, furniture, garbage receptacles and streetlamps. Matthews questioned Village Administrator Suozzi about the contractor who is responsible for the maintenance of street lamps

and specifically burned-out bulbs, as Suozzi has overseen a big-investment LED lighting replacement project for Garden City. Matthews says it is deplorable that on Franklin Avenue, in front of behind Lord & Taylor, and in several village lots the street lamps are out. He added that it can be a dangerous situation for the GCPD to start watching. One of the Albanese Organization’s Franklin Avenue tenants is Muse Paintbar. Another is Revel paint-n-sip parties or events can end in late evening, Matthews was concerned about people walking to their vehicles in a dark parking lot. “It is very important for the village’s image. This is Garden City. It should be spectacular. All the Albanese

Organization’s buildings are well cared for. It is the out-of-town landlords, specifically on Franklin between 9th and 10th Streets, who for whatever reason neglect the properties around their buildings,” Matthews said. He then told the Board of Trustees of a buildings cleaning committee from private landlords who worked with village officials in prior decades. The short-term fixes should not hinder or conflict with longterm planning, he told the trustees. “There was a gentleman’s agreement that we would take care of our buildings and maintain them, upgrade them, bring in great tenants which we have done. At the same time the village would help us with the other landlords, some of them could not care less about

the buildings. I don’t know why that is or why some of the tenants don’t do some things themselves. With our help this is something that can be easily handled….we are more than happy to help you help us. We have a partnership here, and it is leadership and partnerships,” Matthews said. Mayor Brian Daughney concurred: “I suggest between Administrator Suozzi, (DPW Superintendent) Joe DiFrancisco and Kevin Ocker (department head of Recreation and Parks) we come up with some things to get done really quick by our August 17 meeting,” he said. The mayor thanked Matthews for his input and said the entire Board views the process as a partnership with landlords, businesses and residents.

Senior transportation talk heats up meeting From page 3 The comparisons made to concerns of people who are not yet over 60 or 65 and are raising a family in Garden City with multiple children didn’t make sense to him, as he said the difference was mobility impairment – “seniors can’t walk – they have no alternatives and you (the Board) are refusing to help them,” Leto explained. Trustee Robert Bolebruch concurred with the mayor’s struggle over the issue, saying there’s two sides to the coin. He and Leto have had great conversations on village issues over the years but Bolebruch disagrees with Leto’s assessment of the situation. “It is one thing to say the mayor and anybody on the Board is not passionate or considerate of the situation, but that’s not the case. We do care about this, and commitment to our seniors is not an issue, but we struggle with this. I was on the frontlines when we decided to spend not $800,000 but $2 million on the new senior center – one of the most successful things we have ever done in the village. When it comes to this issue people have said the village should just get a bus or vehicles and have volunteer drivers. That is not the real world, it is not how things go. People also look at what some other communities do but they have different demographics and massive apartment complexes,” Bolebruch said. He told Leto the board should be wary of spending taxpayers’ money to transport seniors to facilities in the village, as the most common response Trustee Bolebruch has gotten is the main obstacle: there are seniors with a million-dollar home in Garden City, and the idea of paying for their transportation is difficult to sell to the public. Bolebruch wondered aloud what the explanation is for the community as so many municipal items need to be addressed with the annual budget and

bonded projects. “The bottom line is when you look at it from a municipal point of view, you have to say to yourself ‘is this a fair and right way to use people’s tax dollars?’ I struggle with this because I’d like to do something for senior residents but this is far more complicated and saying we can get volunteers and vans,” Bolebruch explained. Leto’s solution was for a new deal with a taxi company wherein the Village purchase $10,000 to $12,000 worth of vouchers specifically for seniors’ rides to and from the pool, library or senior center. He said that would create a built-in tracking mechanism and in-person monitoring, done by village staff at each facility’s entrances, of who is using the vouchers and if they are eligible senior citizens. “We put the vouchers there and we are not talking about doctors, shopping or other places – we are talking about Garden City community facilities. You need to leave a certain amount of vouchers at each. If you start with $5,000 in vouchers at one facility then you see who takes them. A senior would call the cab companies we have vouchers with and they ride to the pool, and at the pool at the desk they’d pick up a voucher and give it to the driver. If they want to go home they call the cab, pick up a voucher and give it to them,” Leto said. He told the Board of Trustees at the end of each week, month or quarter they will find out “how important it is to offer the senior transportation.” The village could find that less money (less vouchers) maybe $6,000 instead of $12,000, would cover the average number of trips taken in cabs. Leto thanked the Board of Trustees several times for its investment in the new senior center, but as Mayor Daughney and Trustee Bolebruch commented on the frugal use of Garden City tax dollars he suggested the Board

reconsider the village tax base. “Twenty percent of the village are seniors and every year the combined school district and village budgets are over $170 million, $110 million in schools’ and $60 million in the village,” Leto said. Trustee John Delany spoke about the village having an agreement with a taxi company, All Island Taxi Service, in place for seniors to receive discounted rates. The company offers $6 for an individual senior to ride in Garden City, to destinations anywhere inside village boundaries, and $4 per person if two or more seniors “taxi-pool” and ride together. Deputy Mayor Trouvé spoke about the All Island Taxi rate program, which Delany said is in line with the Village of Mineola’s similar agreement. She recalled the early days of the subcommittee working with Ocker and Leto, when they visited the corporate offices of All Island Taxi. However there wasn’t an official Village of Garden City agreement approved with All Island Taxi because of the standing rates referred to by Trustee Delany. Trouvé said that rate is valid for seniors in every municipality on Long Island. The subcommittee and Rec. Department posted flyers in the new senior center about it. But seniors “didn’t bite” according to the deputy mayor. She looked at $4 or $6 one way as a very good deal, and said “that is the best we can do on that.” Trustee Bolebruch said the partial solution available now to Garden City seniors equates to a $4 ride to the pool if with another rider, $6 by themselves. “Anyone sitting at home who decides they want to go to the pool today, they can spend either $4 or $6 for the cab. That is already the solution that exists now. What the Board is trying to decide is if we want to go past that. That is the decision we are making,” Bolebruch said.

Leto left the podium on the note that all seniors should be provided with free transportation to the village’s facilities – the library, the pool and the senior center. “My opinion is seniors should not have to pay anything, and in my opinion a voucher system would solve this,” Leto said. Trouvé then commented on the Catch-22 in front of the Board of Trustees. “All of the points the mayor brought up are a reality. No one wanted to get transportation for seniors more than I did. But there are considerations that we as a board in order to behave responsibly simply cannot get involved in. That does not kill feelings people have when we see we are in a beautiful hot summer and there are housebound seniors who can’t get out and around Garden City. There is a way of getting a ride for $4 to the pool if seniors join for a ride with someone else,” Trouvé said. Leto countered by saying “seniors don’t know about that.” He told Mayor Daughney his approach and the comments were insensitive. “The way you are looking at it, it will never get done,” Leto said. Trustee Minuto listened carefully to the comments Leto made, and noted that there’s no definitive plans to stop investigating the alternatives for the Village of Garden City. “I do not think this is a closed topic; the answer really is that we have not worked it out yet. There is a lot of complicated issues to work out before we get a solution. It sounds like it is taking a long time it is, because this is very complicated,” he told Leto.
