Easing Into The Summer Lull Audits, McMansions and Narcan discussed at meeting

BY RICK KARAS

Summer is officially here, but the work of the board of trustees rolls on.

The board held its monthly meeting in village hall on June 19, and here’s a sampling of what was discussed: Resident Christine Mulaney, representing the Eastern Property Owners Association, is asking the village to re-examine its policies in regard to preserving the historical look of certain neighborhoods. The association is concerned with the number of homes being built to the maximum allowable size not requiring a variance.

Ribbon Cutting Largesse Tech giant donates $1 million-plus to local causes

BY AMANDA MULLEN

While Apple Computers seems to have the market cornered on product and store launches, competitor Microsoft has proven to be no slouch. On Saturday, June 21, the Washington State-based multinational corporation opened its 98th retail store, in Roosevelt Field mall near the Bloomingdale’s wing.

The store’s grand opening created quite a commotion throughout the Long Island community, resulting in long lines around the store from the moment the mall opened.

Customers waited eagerly for the ribbon cutting ceremony, an event marking the official unveiling of the store. While consumers quietly murmured on the queue, exuberant store associates handed out free merchandise, including Microsoft T-shirts.

Around 10:30 a.m., the ceremony

SPECIAL SECTION INSIDE: Salute to Veterans

began with several words from new store manager Fazal Din. He spoke briefly about the Surface Pro 3, Microsoft’s newest tablet, which had been released the day before.

He also mentioned the Demi Lovato concert Microsoft would host in the mall parking lot later that evening.

He then passed the microphone to Panos Panay, corporate vice president of Microsoft.

As a team, Stratford’s Math Olympiad team earned the National Meritorious Achievement Award plaque for the third consecutive year by scoring in the top 10 percent of schools throughout the entire nation. Many students also achieved individual honors. “We are starting to build a tradition with our third top placing in a row,” explained team advisor and fifth grade teacher Seth Messier. “These students are great to work with!”

Each year, the Math Olympiad serves over 150,000 students on nearly 5,000 teams nationally and about 50,000 students on 2,000 teams in over 30 different countries.

Since 1979, it has provided challenging, thought-provoking problems that stretch the abilities of students in grades 4 to 8 while strengthening their foundation for both assessment tests and more advances studies.

“Our students at Stratford have responded with eagerness, enthusiasm and success,” continued Messier.

“They participated in a series of five monthly contests of five problems each, from November to March, and weekly practice sessions. Along with fellow teachers Michelle Ciquera, Lindy Prager and Valerie Savage, students learned to solve unusual and difficult problems and to think creatively.”

| HOLIDAY ANNOUNCEMENTS Library Closed

Sanitation Collection

The Garden City Public Library will be closed all day for the July 4 holiday that falls on Friday this year.

Residents are reminded that there will be no garbage or recycling pickup on Friday, July 4. Residents scheduled for recycling Friday July 4, are asked

also utilize the “One Experience” table, a small section which allows customers to interact with certain products, ranging from tablets to desktop computers. Against the wall, accessories for these devices can be found, such as cases, keyboards, and other attachments. These extras are available in an array of colors.

According to Fazal Din, “We’re all about personalization at Microsoft.”

Apart from the main room, there are also side areas dedicated to other purposes. At one end of the store, there is a Full Height Video Wall, an immense screen on which visitors can try out X-Box One games prior to purchasing them. This screen can be connected to any device in the store, allowing customers to test other items out as well. “We want customers to experience everything the way they want to use it,” Din commented.

There is also another room, coined the “Theater,” which contains a large screen and tables capable of seating up to 50 people. While touring the store, I was informed that workshops would be conducted here, where customers are able to partake in free classes to learn more about Microsoft programs.

Additionally, Microsoft’s Youth Speaks summer camp program will take advantage of this area to learn skills in game design, photography, and movie making.

Preceding the store’s opening, Microsoft General Manager of Communications Strategy Jonathan Adashek spoke regarding preparations for the big opening which he described as “an extensive process” and “months in the making.” According to Adashek, the process consisted of an intensive, six-week training program for store associates.

During this time, Microsoft also made attempts to engage the Long Island community, even generously volunteering in Freeport to rebuild homes lost in Hurricane Sandy. “The idea is to put a public face on our company,” Adashek stated. “We’re really excited to become a fabric in the community.” From the looks of it, the community is happy to have them. Microsoft’s newest addition appears to be a massive success already, and the new store is definitely worth a trip to Roosevelt Field.

Panay opened his speech with praise for the amount of excitement surrounding the opening festivities.

He launched into further discussion of the Surface Pro 3. “I’m proud of it,” he stated. “My team is proud of it.

It’s the best you can get your hands on.” He proceeded to give away two Surface Pro 3 tablets to individuals in the crowd who displayed the most enthusiasm. William Credle, one winner of a Surface Pro 3, was ecstatic about the gift and stated quite plainly “Microsoft rocks!”

Subsequent to promoting Microsoft’s latest technology, Panay announced that Microsoft would be donating roughly $1.1 million to charitable causes on Long Island.

Organizations receiving grants included the Girl Scouts of America, Variety Child Learning Center, United Way of Long Island, and Autism Speaks. Donna Ceravolo, Janice Friedman and Andrea Rieger, Theresa Regnante, and Lisa Goring stood as representatives for each of these programs, respectively.

Members of the associations overlooked the ceremony from the second story while their leaders received checks and said a word or two. Kate Murray, supervisor of the Town of Hempstead, followed the grant recipients by welcoming Microsoft and its team to the largest township in the country.

Once the speeches were concluded, Fazal Din began the big count down. The crowd shouted their way from ten to one, and as Panos Panay cut the ribbon, the curtains enveloping the store dropped to the ground.

Microsoft associates stood opposite the store’s glass walls, dancing and shouting as the first shoppers entered. Each person that filed in was given bracelets for the Demi Lovato concert that evening (while supplies lasted) and the opportunity to explore the new location. Crowds would continue to enter and exit the store until the mall’s closing, when Demi Lovato’s performance would begin.

The inside of the store is certainly an impressive sight, with several large sections packed with a variety of interesting and high tech gadgets.

Tables are spread from wall to wall, displaying computers, mobile phones, and tablets. Customers can

EASING from page 1 Mulaney has said these new homes are virtually ‘McMansions’, and they adversely alter the appearance of the neighborhoods, acting as a detriment to the other houses. The association wants to board to acknowledge there’s a problem, and Mayor Watras says he will be in touch regarding the matter.

• The board adopted a water rate increase which went into effect on June 1. The average rate of increase is approximately 5%, which was agreed to during the budget session earlier this year.

• The Adelphi Nexus Building construction project continues, and the school has moved up to July 21 the date when large structural items will be delivered to the construction site. These deliveries will take place during the night, and there will be intermittent closures to the South Avenue entrance to the school. The deliveries should be finished by the end of August, and the school plans to notify residents about this, as well as provide traffic personnel to handle the changes around the site.

• Village Auditor James Olivo says the firm ABZ will start working on its audit report on July 7. The audit

committee will meet before then, and the firm should deliver the final report by early October.

• Commissioner Jackson also mention that half his officers now carry, and have been trained in the use of, Narcan, a drug that can reverse the effects of a heroin or opiate overdose.

• The department of public works is accepting bids for upcoming roadwork (sidewalks, curbs, etc.) and should be able to present these bids to the board at the next meeting.

• According to the department of recreation, all the village planting has been completed, and there have been a good amount of applications for pool membership thus far.

• The board has approved the final site plan for Hampshire House Condominium on Seventh Street to construct an exterior stairway in their rear yard, which will include the relocation of one parking space in field No. 7N. • The village has renewed its agreement with Cathedral Nursery School for the leasing of cottages on the St. Paul’s campus.

The next board of trustees meeting will be held on Thursday, July 17 at 8 p.m. at Village Hall.

GARDEN CITY LIFE - JULY 2 - 8, 2014

Senator Hannon is standing up for caregivers.

AARP New York thanks Senator Kemp Hannon for introducing the CARE Act (S.7676) to help the millions of New Yorkers who are caring for an aging parent or loved one. Working together, we can get this important legislation signed into law. Family caregivers have a huge responsibility. The CARE Act would help by making sure caregivers are recognized when their loved ones go into the hospital, and that they have the training and resources they need to safely help seniors stay at home.

Thank Senator Hannon for sponsoring the CARE Act and learn more at action.aarp.org/NYcaregivers

| EDITORIAL More Than Just Books With the summer in full swing, the one source of constant activity in the village comes in the shape of the Garden City Public Library. Like any other library, books are and continue to be its lifeblood (check out the 5 new books reference librarians Laura Flanagan and Ann Garnett have recommended for summer reading that you can find on the calendar page of this issue).

But residents would be surprised to know how many other activities and events it hosts on a week in and week out basis. There’s the

Marvelous Movie Matinee that’s held on Mondays, (this week it’s the 1999 remake of The Thomas Crown Affair), meetings of the Garden City Bird Sanctuary, and a slew of programs for kids and teens that involve everything from yoga, art and cooking classes to launching rockets and even a talent show.

With all that’s available to do here, the Garden City Public Library is not only redefining what libraries are in the 21st century but showing its importance as a centralized gathering place for the community to come together. — Dave Gil de Rubio

| MAYOR’S REPORT Friday Night Promenade — Seventh Street The festive atmosphere that we enjoy each year at the Belmont Festival on Seventh Street is planned to continue each Friday night (during the upcoming summer months) from 6 until 10 p.m.

I encourage residents and visitors to come down to Seventh Street to enjoy outdoor dining, live entertainment, face painting, balloon animals and much more. Shops will remain open during the evening for your convenience.

Please be sure to check out this column each week to see what other fun activities are added to this exciting event every Friday evening.

Fireworks Injuries As adults we know that it is illegal to possess and/or use fireworks. The main reason they became illegal is because they cause injury. Residents are reminded that the police department will be on alert to interdict illegal fireworks use to prevent community disruption and often needless injury.

I strongly urge parents, who are the ultimate and most effective preventers, to ban the use of fireworks.

Independence Day Retail sales will be prohibited in the

Mayor of Garden City

JOHN J. WATRAS village between the hours of 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Friday, July 4. Certain exceptions are restaurants, delicatessen items and alcoholic beverages.

In observance of Independence Day, municipal offices will be closed on Thursday, July 4 and will reopen on Monday, July 7.

Please Water Our Village Trees If you have recently had a tree planted in front of your home, please take the time to water it. The proper way to water is to first loosen the soil around the tree if it has become baked hard and then allow a hose to run at the base of the tree at a rate slow enough so that the water will be absorbed into the area around the tree trunk. If you are using a hose at the base of the tree, please do not block any village sidewalks to avoid injury to pedestrians.

Watering hours are from 5 to 10 a.m. and 6 to 10 p.m. Odd-numbered addresses on odd-numbered days and even-numbered addresses on even-numbered days. Thank you for your cooperation.

Youth Related Activity Police Commissioner Jackson has asked me to inform residents that with the warmer weather upon us, there has been an increase in youth-related activities that have had a negative impact on the community such as, but not limited to, criminal mischief, harassment and alcohol use. This type of behavior could result in tragic consequences.

Parents are urged to speak with their children and stress the importance of making smart decisions, refraining from destructive behavior and respecting others who live in their community. This is particularly true concerning alcohol use. Parents should be aware of the activities their children are involved in, as well as their whereabouts, especially during evening and overnight hours. Alcohol use poses a serious threat to children, as well as the community; it often leads to irrational behavior such as property destruction, or driving under the influence.

Shop And Dine Outdoors In Garden City The residents of Garden City are very fortunate to have viable retail businesses on Seventh Street, Franklin Avenue and New Hyde Park Road where there is a good variety of quality merchandise and family dining experiences available to be enjoyed. Please support these businesses and enjoy the products, variety and outstanding customer service. Keep in mind that these merchants save you from traveling outside the Village for your needs. Consider the harsh reality if we did not have these businesses here to service our needs. I look forward to seeing everyone in the business districts.

Board Of Trustees Summer Meeting Schedule During July and August the board of trustees will meet once a month.

The dates are Thursday July 17 and Thursday, August 14 at 8 p.m. These meetings are held in the boardroom at village hall I encourage all residents to attend board of trustees meetings so as to be thoroughly informed of village issues from a first-hand perspective.

Letters to the editor are welcomed by the Garden City Life. We reserve the right to edit in the interest of space and clarity.

All letters must include an address and daytime telephone number for verification. All material contributed to Anton Community Newspapers in any form becomes the property of the newspapers to use, modify and distribute as the newspaper staff or assigns see fit.

SALUTE TO VETERANS AN ANTON COMMUNITY NEWSPAPERS SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT • JULY 2 - 8, 2014

My Grandfather’s Last Thoughts Editor’s note: Michael Pevsner of Massapequa Park recently earned first place in Anton Community Newspapers and Cockpit USA’s essay contest about military heroes. Pevsner submitted the following essay about his grandfather, Private First Class Harold Hibler, who served in WWII, in the Army’s 101st Infantry. Hibler was a survivor of the Battle of the Bulge and received a Purple Heart for his actions.

Hibler was discharged in 1945. He passed away on Aug. 23, 2008.

My grandfather’s last thoughts could have been...of shrieking bullets overhead and seeing his young comrades so alive one moment, covered in blood the next during the Battle of the Bulge.

It could have been leaving school at so early an age, taking any job to earn what wages he could to support his family during the Great Depression. It could have been of his private war with heart disease, finally succumbing after a valiant struggle. I hope, however, that my grandfather’s last thoughts were of the family he created and the loving legacy he left us all.

Harold Hibler, PFC, was a man of integrity, hard work, and thrift. A decorated war hero who survived the Battle of the Bulge, went on to work his entire life, and still found time for his family. A man whose biggest desire in the world was to see his children and grandchildren receive the education that he did not have the chance to get, and to see them benefit from his lifetime of dedicated work. One who is remembered as a role model, a man whom I am proud to call my grandfather.

One of my grandfather’s core values was hard work. As a child of the Depression, and a man who constantly worked from the age of 18, until he was 83, at jobs ranging from selling papers in the streets of Brooklyn, to owning a gas station supply shop in Queens. He held a serious work ethic in the highest regard, and that was not lost on me. He encouraged me to challenge myself and not waste a moment, goals I am reaching now by maintaining grades in four AP classes, working two jobs, and devoting countless hours of my time to my school’s Key Club; organizing events, collecting money for UNICEF, ringing the Salvation Army bell in December and running my

school’s Key Club website.

All of these things gave my grandfather pride in me, and continue to give me pride in myself. My grandfather took me to work with him in Queens all of the time; more recently, he congratulated me on my first official job, at Massapequa News. Shortly after that, he called me from the hospital, while he had his own matters to deal with, to congratulate me on getting yet another job, at CVS. The last material object I showed my grandfather was my first pay stub from CVS. Never have I seen anyone smile as brightly.

Another virtue my grandfather bestowed upon me was that of prudence. Again, as he was a child of the Depression-era, waste was not tolerable in his house. He firmly believed that one man’s refuse was another’s treasure, and on my own scavenger hunts through his basement, I have found vintage designer clothes, license plates, car parts, tools and even a portable record player, most of which he saved from the misfortune of spending eternity in a landfill. He was more resourceful than a Hollywood spy, and I inherited that sense. I have always followed after him in being careful not to throw away something that can be useful a second time, especially if that something can bring back memories or be resold as a collectible.

One of my hobbies is collecting sneakers; my grandfather always wanted to see me sell a pair of rare sneakers for more than what I paid. Looking now at the values of some sneakers that I have accumulated, if I had the heart to part with a pair, I could do just that, turn my sneaker collection into an investment. Beyond that, among my most treasured possessions are random little journals and notebooks that my grandfather got as souvenirs from stores, business contacts, and promotions, each signed “love always”, that now house both memories of him and my written words spanning from the moment I was able to write, to present day.

My grandfather was, and still is, a role model. The things I hold closest to my heart are the wealth of memories I have of him and the lessons and characteristics he passed on to me.

HOROSCOPE By Holiday Mathis

WORD FIND Try r your luck ry

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There’s so much going on this week that you may feel as though maintaining your possessions just takes too much of your time. Do it anyway. Neat and clean environs reinforce the mindset that you’ve got your act together. Your responsible attitude makes you attractive and successful.

Solution: 9 Letters

© 2014 Australian Word Games Dist. by Creators Syndicate Inc.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your fantasy life is strong, and you could spend a good deal of energy building castles in the air. You can’t live in them, but some of the ideas are practical enough to apply once you touch back down to Earth. A healthy balance means allowing yourself to dream but commanding yourself to take practical steps, as well.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). This week shows you in an ambitious mood, and you’ll require much of yourself. Of course, it’s difficult to make big things happen if you are distracted by every enticement along the way.

Because you’re after the larger experiences of life, you feel the need to bring your lower appetites into control.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). This week you have something that really needs to be accomplished and a message to match the task. There will be no such thing as over-communicating it. To keep yourself and everyone around you on purpose, repeat yourself often. Find new ways to say it.

With constant communication, you will get there.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Empowering talk leads to exciting developments in a relationship. Things really are getting better. Practice describing your experience, feelings and needs. Avoid claiming that another person is “driving you crazy” or “making you mad.” The more responsibility you can take for your own state the better off you’ll be.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The mightiest warrior knows that battling isn’t the only way to victory. Some of the best victories are handed over. Negotiation would be better in this week’s case, but if you must go to the mat, offer your opponent nothing to resist, and there won’t be much of a fight.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll gladly deliver good news. As for the bad news, you might leave it for someone else to tell — or not — hoping that by ignoring it, depriving it of your breath and attention, it will somehow disappear. Sometimes this method works! At least if you focus yourself on the positive there will be far less room for the negative.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll have a knack for speaking in the vernacular most appropriate to your company this week, and you’ll be around many types. There is a Malayan proverb that goes, “Trumpet in a herd of elephants; crow in the company of cocks; bleat in a flock of goats.”

You’ll do it all!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The way you feel about a loved one is similar to the way you feel about music. You know there is meaning there, but the meaning is beyond words. Go ahead and try putting it into words anyway. Your loved one will benefit from knowing that your affections run deep.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’re on the fast track. Creativity is flowing, and your social network is growing. Pretty soon you won’t be able to tell the difference between your business relationships and your social relationships. Pool resources with family, colleagues and friends. You’ll get there faster getting there together.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You may feel somewhat depleted at the start of the week, but don’t worry. The well of joy inside you hasn’t dried up; it’s just that you can’t reach it with a broken rope. New tools are needed.

Where will you find them? Almost anywhere you look. Your intention to be happy will lead to many fortuitous discoveries.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS Before you make any radical changes, ask yourself, “Is this something I can do for the rest of my life?” Permanent changes will be life enhancing, while committing to something short term will be more effort than it’s worth. An August business endeavor is a win as long as you don’t break your own investment rules. October brings a fortuitous meeting, and romance will sweep into your life. January endeavors require heart, faith and sweat, but they will be some of your best times this year.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You are devoted and true, and yet there is something inside you that is weary from doing the right thing. Being good doesn’t always feel good. You’ll start to wonder whether there’s such a thing as being too good. The malaise you feel is a sign that you need a break. Demand less of yourself this week.

Arnold Standard represents you before the NYS Workers' Compensation Board and/or US and NYS Department of Labor, to settle penalties which have been imposed --- for a fraction of the original amounts.

Our work also includes performing a review of the circumstances prior to lodging the correct appeal. We achieve closure at the local level WITHOUT referral for FICA correction. Our initial consultation with you is conducted without any charge.

New York State is going back up to SIX YEARS & assessing major penalties for the above subjects. This happens when you have classified people as Independent Contractors & individuals have been treated as self-employed, or there has been a lapse in coverage.

Frequently, there are minimum wage and/or overtime considerations because of time and attendance record keeping errors.

We manage the entire process from field audit through the appeal phase with the Department. Our record in this area is excellent, and there is no upfront cost, because we are only paid after we save you money.

A fellow in his late 50s, a successful salesman in the medical-equipment field, stopped by my office recently to discuss addiction. He has been reading my columns on the topic, and wanted to share some thoughts.

He is an alcoholic who has been sober for several decades, and now works with others trying to beat addictions, most commonly, heroin.

“The story is always the same,” he said, nodding his head knowingly.

“Always the same.”

By that, he means how people become addicts to substances ranging from alcohol to opiates and what they do to deny it, hide it and ultimately get in deeper and deeper.

Listen to the stories of addicts, he said, and whether it’s a Hollywood star who gulps Grey Goose from a water bottle or a suburban kid copping oxycontin out of medicine cabinets, the trajectory of the tragedy is always the same. Then, there comes a point where some addicts get clean and many don’t. Here, all of the stories aren’t the same.

Sometimes, with luck, the parents can step in, and after trying everything, try yet something else. And it works. Add in support from people like my sober salesman, and the story doesn’t have to end in tears.

Here’s one such story from a local mom: As a parent of a heroin addict, I have been following with great interest your series on addiction. The disease of addiction is very insidious. It starts out slowly and then takes over every facet of the addict’s life and the family’s life as well.

Our family went through many years of pain and suffering. I don’t think that words can describe the helplessness that one feels as they watch a loved one self-destruct. As a family unit we went to all of the family components of every rehab that my child was involved in—the words can be helpful, but if the actions of the addict don’t change, you still have that feeling of helplessness.

Unfortunately, our society looks at addiction as if it should be controlled by the addict—as if they can willingly just turn off that switch that makes them use and become healed. People you think of as friends don’t give you the same comfort they would were your child suffering from cancer, diabetes or any other disease.

“You, the addict, should fix it yourself.”

Our insurance companies think that patients should be cured after

From Editor

the

JOHN OWENS three or four days of detox. They won’t pay for extended care, and unless the family has thousands and thousands of dollars to pay for their loved one’s care, with no guarantee of a cure, you are on your own.

There is a twofold problem with most of the rehab facilities in the New York: They all seem primarily concerned about the financial aspect of the case, and most of the programs are rather punitive in nature.

After a particularly bad run, I took my son to a facility in North Palm Beach, Fla. Their whole approach to the addict is so different from anything I have seen in New York. They are genuinely concerned with the addict’s recovery.

The clients live in an apartment and are responsible for taking care of cooking, cleaning and such. In addition to therapy sessions, they go to outside Narcotics Anonymous and Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, and are encouraged to get a sponsor. They have an opportunity to meet many sober people.

They also do extracurricular activities, such as going to the gym, movies and bowling. They get to see and live a sober life. This can only be accomplished with the client’s willingness to do step work and participate in these groups.

After 90 days there, my son came home a changed person. He is actively involved in AA, this includes working the steps. He has made many new sober friends. He is now clean almost eight months.

I applaud your efforts to bring attention to this terrible disease. I want to let people know that there can be a light at the end of the tunnel.

Thank you. This is a story worth sharing. Any other readers who have a story to share, please email it to me.

Your insights and experiences are important. And your anonymity is assured.

Leaf Blower Flap Isn’t Just About Noise For over 40 years, gas-powered leaf blowers have been a focal point for irritation and frustration over neighborhood noise. The issue is percolating up all over the country again, and now it’s also about swallowing doody.

Gas-powered leaf blowers aren’t the only gardening and landscaping apparatus that use loud two-stroke engines (it takes two piston movements to complete one cycle of combustion), but it’s pretty easy to understand what lawn mowers and chainsaws do and why they are used. The purpose, efficiency and effectiveness as a gardening tool of using powerful blowers on a typical 50by-100-foot property is more mysterious. Even the phrase “leaf blowers” is a misnomer. They don’t blow just leaves.

They blow everything that’s on and in and around your lawn into the air, where it lingers for hours until it settles onto the neighbor’s car and their kids’ faces. Mold, pollen, seeds, little rocks, dead bugs, live ticks, it’s all launched at high speed. The polite word for it is “fugitive dust,” but on the street we call it “rodent feces,” and worse.

In two-stroke engines, fuel is mixed with oil for lubrication, and about 30 percent of the mixture goes unburned and gets spewed out. That smell in the air after the gardener leaves is a mix of

Viewpoint

MICHAEL A. MILLER carbon monoxide, nitrous oxides and various carcinogenic hydrocarbons.

In late 2011, a study by Edmunds. com, the auto information site, found that the hydrocarbon emissions from half an hour of yard work with a two-stroke Echo leaf blower generated about the same carbon monoxide and non-methane hydrocarbon emissions as driving the 3,900 miles from Texas to Alaska in a 6,200-pound Ford Raptor.

We know a lot more now than we did 10 and 20 years ago about allergies, asthma and the dangers of extended exposure to very fine particulate matter, which can penetrate deep into lungs, enter the bloodstream and harm the heart and other organs. This isn’t a joke.

The noise is a problem, especially for people with limited mobility who

taught to gun up the throttle to maximum, always. Perhaps some business owners are trying to make a point.

One East End landscaper told the East Hampton Star that banning or regulating blowers was “the stupidest idea…If they don’t like the noise and people making a living…people should leave town and go somewhere where they don’t have leaves or people to bother.”

SLIRR Commuters Have Ways To Survive Strike Eye on

the Island

MIKE BARRY Recognizing a strike which impacted commuters effective Sunday, July 20, would inflict insufficient mayhem, the Long Island Rail Road’s (LIRR) union leaders want their prospective work stoppage pushed back to September.

This comes as no surprise. But I was astonished to see the four U.S. House Members who represent Nassau County — Rep. Peter King (R-Seaford), Rep. Steve Israel (D-Huntington), Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-Mineola) and Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-St. Albans) — agreed with the LIRR’s union leaders while invoking an absurd cover story: the fate of Long Island’s summer tourism industry.

“We encourage the MTA [Metropolitan Transportation Authority, the LIRR’s parent] to accept a proposal from the involved employee labor unions to extend the current ‘cooling

off’ period for an additional 60 days,” stated a June 19 letter to MTA chairman and CEO Thomas Prendergast, which was signed by the aforementioned U.S. House Members, and six others, from downstate New York.

The correspondence is posted at www.smartunionlirr.com, and goes on to say “we are concerned about the

116058

effect that any potential work stoppage [in July 2014] could have on Long Island tourism, as the LIRR is a vital means of transportation to the East End and other destinations during the peak tourism season in the summer months.”

True enough. Yet if you asked typical LIRR daily commuters whether they could more easily withstand a July LIRR strike, as compared to one in September, I daresay 90-plus percent of commuters would want a LIRR strike to occur in July. It is an easier time of year to take vacation, their children are on summer break, and the roadways are less clogged because neither school buses nor teachers are making the trips they take between September and June.

To its credit, the LIRR’s Commuter Council, an entity created by the state legislature, began distributing pamphlets to LIRR riders at Penn Station in late June, offering guidance on how to prepare for a July strike. Meanwhile, the LIRR’s unions have the downstate Congressional delegation and two separate Obama administration-appointed panels backing them, even though the recommendations of those presidential nominees were non-binding, whereas the MTA’s labor negotiators are fending for themselves at the moment.

The MTA has remained too silent throughout these proceedings, and could learn something from The Metropolitan Opera, which is currently in the midst of contract negotiations with 15 of the 16 unions representing employees that work at the Met. In a full-page New York Times advertisement (June 20), the Met’s executive committee explained how work rules forged in a different era are today financially unsustainable, and draining the institution’s resources. One example the Met

LIRR brass at a recent event promoting summer travel. If a strike comes, would it be better now, or in September? cited in its ad: the orchestra receives 16 weeks (yes, 16) of annual paid vacation.

I’m sure comparable, unjustifiable expenditures are set into motion by the LIRR’s work rules. The MTA should take a full-page advertisement in a major daily newspaper and explain clearly some of the LIRR’s antiquated work rules to the public.

LIRR commuters do, however, have weapons in 2014 that were not at their disposal in 1994, the last time the LIRR’s unions walked off the job. The first are the dramatic technological advances that have been made in the workplace.

Given a laptop and an iPhone, most people can conduct business almost anywhere and, while they may miss face-to-face contact with colleagues and customers, a LIRR strike in 2014 is a major inconvenience as opposed to an event that can cripple the economy.

The last 20 years have also brought widespread business continuity improvements made in the wake of 9-11, and Superstorm Sandy, times when New York City offices were either closed or inaccessible for extended periods of time.

Should a LIRR strike occur, and continue for weeks, or even months, you’ll see city-based businesses rent space in either Nassau or Suffolk to accommodate their Long Island employees. Indeed, rather than shutting down the Island, a prolonged LIRR strike could boost to its commercial real estate market.

THE WEEKEND - JULY 2 - 8, 2014

Nassau’s Invisible Immigrant Community Most Long Islanders don’t think about Belmont Park beyond the annual Belmont Stakes. But look closely, and you will see that year in year out, the track is a very active and important economic force.

Belmont Park has been part of the Long Island community since 1905.

The grounds reside partially within Floral Park and Elmont, overlapping slightly into Queens.

It typically holds nine or 10 races each day, Wednesday through Sunday. It’s a major part of the economy not just for those towns, but also for Long Island as a whole.

Its economic contribution rests largely on the shoulders of an invisible group of men and women — nearly all of whom are immigrants.

In racing parlance they are known as “backstretch” employees. These people perform essential jobs related to the care of the horses, including grooming, feeding and exercising.

At Belmont Park, there are approximately 2,000 backstretch workers, most of whom live on the park grounds, according to Paul Ruchames, executive director for Backstretch Employee Service Team (BEST) of New York, a non-profit that provides health care and other services to the workers.

“The horse racing world, which generates hundreds of millions of dollars, would not exist or it would be very tiny in New York without these workers,” said Ruchames.

Despite their critical role in Long Island’s economy, there is little integration between the backstretch workers and the local community.

Part of the reason is that the vast majority of workers live in dormitories on the grounds. Some have children who go to the local schools. Some take second jobs at the car wash or deli nearby. Most, according to Ruchames, “keep a low profile.”

Life on the backstretch starts at 4 a.m. and ends around 11 a.m. Nearly all of the jobs these workers perform are physically demanding.

“One is called a hot walker, who walks the horse before and after exercise,” said Ruchames. “Then there is an exercise rider.”

There’s also the groom, who Ruchames said is the secret behind each horse. It is the groom who has the best gauge of the horse’s health and condition.

“The groom bandages and takes care of the horse,” he said. “The groom knows the psychology of the horse. He knows his eating habits and sleeping habits.”

All of these jobs require the men and women to be outside and exposed

Long Island Wins

MARYANN SLUTSKY to the elements for hours at a time.

And there’s always the risk of being kicked or thrown by animals weighing well over a thousand pounds.

“There’s a lot of shoveling,” said Ruchames, “and restraining the horse takes a lot of strength.”

The immigrants performing these jobs accept these risks. Most come from rural villages in Mexico, Honduras and Guatemala — many from the same village or neighborhood. A good portion has had exposure to, if not hands-on experience, working with farm animals. For some, it’s a family tradition.

Despite the hard labor, one thing is clear to Ruchames: The backstretch workers have a tremendous work ethic and truly love what they do.

“They come to have relationships with the horses,” he said. Think of the bond people have with their pet, he said, “Now imagine that it’s your job, eight hours a day, working with your pet. Your pet runs a race — and wins!”

Love or not, these are the proverbial jobs Americans simply won’t do. Ruchames said when trainers advertise openings, they get few, if any, responses from American-born workers. In the past, backstretch workers were African-Americans.

Now, the role falls mainly to immigrants. Today’s backstretch workers are hired by the horse trainers, and brought to the U.S. on H2-B visas, like farmworkers.

BEST was established in 1989 by people who had these working conditions in mind.

“It was originally started just to handle drug and alcohol problems,” said Ruchames. “About seven years ago, it expanded the mission to include health care.”

Largely funded by New York Racing Association (NYRA) and the New York Thoroughbred Horseman’s Association, BEST helps subsidize the workers’ health care costs, as well as provides alcohol and substance abuse counseling, psychological counseling and prescription medical assistance.

It also established an on-site medical facility that offers primary care, chiropractic services, acupuncture and other treatments.

Dr. Fred Cogan, primary physician at the BEST Backstretch Clinic, said that he sees ailments related to the grueling outdoor work, and notices similarities with those in law enforcement, where long-term exposure to the elements is common.

Cogan tries to ensure basic preventative care, such as routine blood tests and annual physicals, as well as immunizations. Planned Parenthood comes by once a month to offer their services.

The benefit of the program goes beyond the backstretch. Over a five-year period, Ruchames said, “We saved the local community over $2 million in health care costs by what we are doing here. People who are going to our medical facility are not going to the emergency room.”

Backstretch workers also receive childcare through the Belmont Child Care Association, popularly known as Anna House in honor of Anna Cordero, the late wife of Hall-of-Fame jockey Angel Cordero. Anna House is open from 5 a.m. to 1 p.m. to accommodate the workers’ schedule.

Top: Paul Ruchames, executive director for Backstretch Employee Service Team (BEST) of New York Bottom: A mural vividly portrays track — and backstretch — life.

There’s also an on-site chaplaincy run by a separate non-profit called the Racetrack Chaplaincy of America N.Y. But non-profit organizations can do only so much. The passing of comprehensive immigration reform would be a game-changer for backstretch workers.

For example, they would be able to reap the benefits of taxes they pay. The workers pay into Social Security, but rarely see the benefit because many ultimately move back to their country.

We’re ready to wager that immigration reform would bring a better future for these workers — and for Long Island.

One concept that addresses many of Long Island’s economic and social needs is “transit-oriented development.” It should become a prominent focal point in this election season, as Long Islanders discuss our future ambitions.

Transit-oriented development (TOD) refers to any development — housing, office, retail or any combination of them — located adjacent to transit stations (for us, the Long Island Rail Road). What’s especially impressive is the number of priority needs it addresses on Long Island.

From an economic standpoint, we need to grow job opportunities, and TOD provides settings for office and retail jobs, as well as housing.

We need to increase our population, in order to expand our economy and reduce the individual tax burden, and TOD enables higher-density growth without impacting less commercial areas.

We need to provide more varieties of housing — smaller units and more rental options that appeal to young people as well as those looking to down-size from larger homes — and TOD can accommodate those varieties as well.

From an environmental standpoint, we need to preserve our open space and the suburban lifestyle for which Long Island is renowned; we need to reduce our reliance on cars, and we need to be more creative in how we address our parking needs, so that we eliminate the growing blight of cars spreading out from transit stations in all directions.

Transit-oriented development can accomplish all of that and more. For a look at innovative approaches to parking, for instance, see the Long Island Index’s ParkingPlus Design Challenge.

From the standpoint of increasing innovation, we need to better link our centers of innovation — our universities, research centers and business incubators — and the people who work at them. We need to provide enhanced downtowns offering the mix of housing, entertainment, workspace and transit access that young people seek.

We need to provide more options for reverse-commuting so that the talent and businesses we want to attract will move to Long Island rather than to Westchester County, southern Connecticut or northern

Opinion

NANCY RAUCH DOUZINAS New Jersey — nearby locations where reverse-commuting is so much easier and economic growth is far surpassing Long Island’s. Again, transit-oriented development can support all of that.

The good news for Long Island is that crucial resources needed to expand TOD are already in place.

First, we have the Long Island Rail Road and its 124 stations. Local communities will have to decide for themselves whether they want transit-oriented development and on what terms, but many larger communities do — for any number of the reasons cited above.

Second, we have the space. There are more than 4,000 acres of surface parking lots in and around Long Island’s downtowns, and that space can be far more creatively imagined and effectively used. Think what a difference it would make if that space was contributing to Long Island’s economy in innovative ways while offering even more parking.

That’s the reality of what’s possible, as the ParkingPlus Design Challenge reveals.

Third, we have the access that transit provides to all parts of Greater New York City, the business capital of the world, and we need to put that access to greater use for Long Island.

Election season is upon us and will be escalating as we approach November. Long Islanders should ask candidates for office what they will do to enhance transit-oriented development.

It’s time for those candidates to hear that we are tired of watching the jobs that we need go to those other nearby locations. We need transit-oriented development and the economic growth that goes with it. It’s time for Long Island to get more TOD. Nancy Rauch Douzinas is president of the Garden City-based Rauch Foundation.

Speaking Of Books

29A

Garden City librarians pick 5 new books to read this summer Summer is for book lovers. If your idea of the perfect summer vacation is finding a great new read, Garden City’s Reference Librarians Laura Flanagan and Ann Garnett have selected five new books to consider for your summer reading getaway. There is no one definition of a great summer book.

Dive into a breezy beach book, discover a critically acclaimed literary novel, or chill out with the latest thriller. Whatever you choose, your summer read should be able to sweep you away to another world, real or imagined. Here are five new titles that critics, librarians and readers are talking about this summer:

The Vacationers • Emma Straub’s The Vacationers is perfect vacation reading, combining the warm weather locale of the Spanish island of Mallorca with the lively, complicated drama of an American family’s two-week vacation to celebrate their 35th wedding anniversary and their daughter’s high school graduation. The novel offers a humorous but heartfelt portrayal of intricate dynamics of family life in the midst of change.

All the Light We Cannot See • All the Light We Cannot See by the highly acclaimed, multiple award-winning Anthony Doerr is a novel about a blind French girl and a German boy whose paths collide in occupied France as both try to survive the devastation of World War II. Beautifully written, with stunning imagery, this novel captures the sights and sounds of wartime while focusing on the innate goodness of the major characters.

That Night • Chevy Stevens’ latest psychological thriller, That Night, is a riveting tale of secrets, betrayal, heartbreak, and ultimately, redemption with an unexpected twist. Returning home after serving time for the wrongful conviction of her sister’s murder, Toni Murphy struggles to reacclimate and avoid parole violations while her boyfriend, who was also wrongly convicted, resolves to clear their names.

Face Off • Face Off, edited by David Baldacci, is a one-of-a-kind anthology that brings together the most beloved characters from the most popular thriller series today. In an unprecedented collaboration, 23 of the world’s bestselling thriller writers have paired their series characters in an 11-story collection.

The One Plus One • The One Plus One is a warm-hearted, “opposites attract” love story by Jojo Moyes, the bestselling author of Me Before You, The novel has an ensemble cast of colorful characters ranging from a single mom and her tortured Goth teen and gifted daughter to the technology millionaire whose vacation house she cleans. Each character’s story is independent, yet they all come together creating an exceptional novel about family, trust, and love.

Stop by or call the reference desk for more suggestions about what to read this summer. Tell the librarians about what you enjoy reading too — they love to talk about books with book lovers like you. Email Librarians Laura Flanagan and Ann Garnett at speakingofbooks@gardencitypl. org to recommend your favorite summer reads. In the coming weeks, the librarians will suggest additional popular books to enjoy and include some suggestions from Garden City residents. Submitted

Pictured here are two of this year’s winners at the high school, Julia Valenti and Carlos Africa with librarians Lois Kuster (left) and Margaux Calemmo. Dario Hernandez-Arroyo was on a field trip and absent from the photo.

Library Contest Winners

Every year, the Garden City High School Library runs a district-wide k-12 contest to celebrate National School Library Month and National Library Week. The theme of the contest is aligned with the official theme put out by the American Library Association (ALA). This year the theme was, “Lives Change @ Your Library.

“We encouraged our students to tell us how libraries changed their life by submitting their original poster, song,

video or essay that shows how their library helps them to grow, learn and dream,” explained librarian and media specialist Margaux Calemmo. “We started the k-12 library contest back in 2011. This year, we had 75 students participate on the high school level.”

This year’s winners at the high school were Julia Valenti, Carlos Africa and Dario Hernandez-Arroyo.

Art teacher Karen Morea will return to the library this summer on Wednesday, July 23 from 7-8 p.m. to host a craft workshop. Teens will create a fun and interesting space style design for a “Galaxy” tote bag.

Registration begins July 9 online on Eventkeeper. This program is limited to 20 YAs.

Dennis Pryor, a student at Garden City Middle School, was recently awarded first place in Senator Kemp Hannon’s 2014 “There Ought To Be A Law” Competition. The contest honors ideas for new laws, as conceived by local fifth and sixth grade students from schools in Hannon’s Senate District. At Levittown Hall in Hicksville, the first place winners from each school were presented with a citation from Hannon.

Pryor’s proposed law reads as follows: “Heavy fines should be the penalty for people who cut off or recklessly drive around emergency vehicles. The emergency vehicles could have a dashcam that records the other drivers, and begin recording once the sirens and lights are turned on to preserve the battery life of the camera.”

Beware Of Deception/Distraction Burglaries The Garden City Police Department would like to remind residents to be alert for deception/ distraction burglaries that often target the elderly.

Deception/distraction burglars usually travel in groups of two or more people to a particular residential area in a car or van, usually with out-of-state registration plates. One of the subjects will usually portray him or herself as a surveyor, utility worker, contractor, handyman, delivery person or a new neighbor.

They will approach a homeowner, in many cases an elderly person, and either solicit work or state that they are a new neighbor looking to fix a fence between their properties.

While engaging the resident in a distracting conversation, the subject diverts the homeowners into their rear or side yards providing a means for an accomplice to enter the home without being detected and commit a burglary.

The Garden City Police Department also advises residents to lock their doors at all times even when they are home or attending to their gardens or doing other types of yard work.

Leaving a door unlocked provides a burglar an opportunity to enter a residence to steal property without being detected. This type of distraction burglary is more prevalent during the warmer seasons. Submitted by the Garden City Police Department

Beware Of Phone Scams Police Commissioner Kenneth Jackson and Garden City Police alert all residents of the escalation of phone scams. During these scams, victims are financially targeted by phone callers who make false statements and promises in an effort to manipulate the victims to send them money by way of Green Dot Money Packs, Money Grams, Western Union and prepaid money cards. Legitimate agencies and companies do not ask for this type of payment.

Examples of phone scams include:

• Government Scams Victims often receive a call from persons stating they are from Nassau County and advise the victim that they must pay a fine for not reporting for jury duty.

• Prize or Lottery Winners The callers advise the victims that they have won a monetary prize but need to send money to the caller to cover the shipping and processing for the delivery of the winnings.

• Kidnapped/Arrested Family Members The victim receives a call from a person claiming to be a family member who advises the victim they were arrested or kidnapped in another state or country and money needs to be sent to a location for bail or ransom.

These are often foiled when the victim contacts the family member, particularly by cell phone.

• Utility Companies The callers state they are from a utility (gas, electric, water) and require money be sent to them so to prevent the victim’s service from being disconnected.

If you think you have been a victim of a phone scam, please call the police by dialing 911.

I have a nine year-old cat that is mostly indoors.

I only let him out in my backyard when I’m outside with him. I feed him dry food and every evening I give him a half of a can of cat food as a treat. He loves it! I also give him some cat treats from the pouches when he asks for them. Over the past few months I’ve noticed that he is eating less dry food and is holding his head to the side when he eats. His breath has not changed. It’s always pretty bad. I’m afraid it’s his teeth and I’m scared to put him under anesthesia. What can I do? Any help would be appreciated.

Stress Less Change Limiting Beliefs Correct Breathing Habits Learn How To Eat Healthy “Improper breathing is the cause of most illnesses today” ~ Dr. Andrew Weil

Dear Doctor DiGrazia,

Dental disease is common in cats, especially for those who eat canned food.

Tartar buildup on teeth leads to gingivitis, cavities and even infected roots.

The bacteria that fester in these diseased teeth can spread to other body organs through the blood stream. This can result in heart, liver, or kidney disease. It is always best to keep the mouth as healthy as possible not only to avoid spread of disease, but for the comfort of the animal. When your cat chews and holds his head to the side, he’s avoiding using one side of his mouth due to pain. This is usually an indication of loose or rotten teeth.

When dental disease is this advanced, it is best to have them professionally cleaned by a veterinarian. Many safety procedures are performed to ensure the animal makes it through anesthesia successfully. You can discuss with your veterinarian what their protocol is for dentals and do what you feel is best for your cat. After the teeth are clean, there are many options for keeping them healthy afterwards such as brushing or a mouthwash.

Good Luck. — Mara DiGrazia, D.V.M.

Pampered Parents

Moms and dads honored by students Parents of students in Millie Joyce’s class at Locust school really felt special this past Mother’s and Father’s Day — each parent was treated to a special morning of activities. For Mother’s Day, the first-graders wrote and illustrated hard covered books dedicated to their mothers. Mrs. Joyce explained: “Incorporating the district’s writing program, students spent several months learning about generating ideas, word choice, quality details, organization, and conventions. They learned that authors write about what they know about, care about, or something that happened to them.

With this mind, students chose a subject dear to their heart.

During center time and Writer’s Workshop, students used graphic organizers to brainstorm their ideas. They spent countless hours perfecting their use of quality words, complete sentences, and organizing paragraphs. Like practicing authors, they wrote rough drafts and conferenced with their editor, Mrs. Joyce. Final copies were typed and illustrations were

Anyone — student, parent, or colleague — who has been in the company of Garden City High School science teacher Michael Stano for even five minutes, knows there is something special about this teacher.

Stano is passionate about STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education, and brings that passion to bear in the classroom.

He teaches Advanced Placement (AP) Environmental Science at the high school and Regents Earth Science.

This year, he implemented the flipped classroom model of instruction for the co-taught Regents class with fellow teacher Allison Moss. “He created a series of 100 videos on various Earth Science topics and has posted them on his You Tube channel and Edmodo page,” explained the school district’s science coordinator, Dr. Elena Cascio.

“Mr. Stano generously shares his expertise, skills and knowledge with colleagues and the community.” Mr. Stano also taught and coached two middle school robotics teams this school year, one of which placed first in Robot Performance in the Long Island qualifying rounds of the LEGO FIRST League tournament.

It’s no wonder, then, that this inspirational teacher-leader was named a New York State Master Teacher in mid-April.

One of 42 Long Island teachers so named, Stano will become a mentor to peers and receive financial support to deepen his own scholarship and professional development.

Enacted by Governor Cuomo in 2013, the New York State Master Teacher Program (NYSMTP) “recognizes the work of the highest-performing STEM

Staying In The Lane Of Success How swimming shaped Coach Sullivan’s life

BY AMANDA MULLEN

Coach Sullivan with the captains of the boys 2013 County Champs

gardencity@antonnews.com

To say swimming is in Anne Sullivan’s blood is an understatement. Not only does Sullivan coach the boys’ and girls’ swimming teams at Garden City High School, but she also teaches swimming five days a week at Richmond Hill High School in Queens. She has been teaching for 18 years and coaching for even longer, as she puts it “for more than half my life.”

Sullivan is a previous student and 1972 graduate of Garden City High School, and she began her swimming career at the Garden City pool. When asked why she chose swimming to invest her life in, she accredited her father, who was also a swimmer. He introduced her to the sport, enabling her to discover her love and talent for it. It’s this dedication that found Anne Sullivan becoming the recent recipient of the Community Achievement Award at the Pineapple Ball, Garden City’s premiere business and social event.

When asked what she enjoys about coaching, Sullivan is fairly straightforward.

“I like the challenge that’s put before me. What I like about it is that the kids want to swim for me, and when they come I have variability. Some kids prefer to be in the year-round program, while others don’t.” Sullivan explained that the younger kids begin swimming in the 7th grade, giving them 3 to 4 years to “break out into their own” and hone their skills.

“I like watching that growth,” she said. Sullivan had similar feelings regarding her Queens students, some

of whom have never been in water prior to taking her classes. “Some of them will buck you or tell you they aren’t getting in the pool. But eventually you see the progress.”

Addressing the difficulties of being a swim coach, Sullivan stated that training can be an issue due to the absence of a pool at the high school.

The children practice three mornings a week at Adelphi University to make up for this. With all of the swim meets and practices being away, this can mean early mornings and late nights for the students. “Sometimes we may not get home until 10,” Sulivan said.

“And the kids need to balance their studies with their athletics.”

Balance can be a difficult thing to achieve with such long days.

However, Sullivan boasts of impressive grades, especially on the girls’ team. In fact, the team was

acknowledged for having one of the highest averaged GPAs in the country. In addition, Sullivan claims that her swimmers are also musically and artistically inclined, proving to be a well-rounded and hardworking group. The schedule can be rough on the coach as well. “It makes my day a lot longer,” she said. “But I make it work. I’m in it for the kids.”

Sullivan’s job doesn’t end with swimming either. As a coach, she finds that she must teach her kids non-swimming related lessons, which aid them as a team member and will also prepare them for the future. “I give them structure,” she stated. “I give them a sense of responsibility.

I expect them to get themselves up if they want to be a part of the team. And if they get sick, I don’t want to hear from parents. They call me.” Sullivan assures that her

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.

swimmers are punctual as well, an important quality in any area of life.

Furthermore, she makes sure that the kids learn that there will be good and bad days, in swimming and in life.

“It’s only going to get harder as you get older,” she said. “And it’s alright.

Losing makes you a better person.”

Among some of the proudest moments in Sullivan’s career are the 103 consecutive meets she’s won in the girls’ season, an impressive feat for any sports coach. She has also seen multiple swimmers on her team take state championships including one girl, a freestyler, who won the championship for three consecutive years. Additionally, Sullivan mentioned a competition in which the boys’ swim team defeated the Long Beach High School team.

The team was coached by Woody Davis, a reigning champion who coached Sullivan during her own swimming days. “A lot of people don’t know the respect I had for Woody Davis,” Sullivan told me. It is for this reason defeating her former coach was such an eye opener.

But out of every facet of her career, Sullivan stated that she is most proud of her swimmers. “It takes a lot of courage,” she stated. “And they want to improve. They look at some of the others who swim year round, and they may not be as good yet. But they still want to be on the team. I’m proud of that because it takes a lot.” She added that she is pleased the team has been able to stay so good for 20 years.

We can only hope that the teams’ legacy continues for many more.
