BIKE RIDE FOR CHARITY
BY GARY SIMEONE
On Saturday, April 29th join Episcopalians from across Long Island for fun and fundraising for Habitat for Humanity at the Fifth Annual Episcopalian Bike Ride from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. The Cathedral of the Incarnation will serve as the kickoff location, offering cyclists facilities and refreshments, as well as guided tours. A leisurely paced 22-mile bike ride will stop at Episcopal Churches throughout Nassau and Suffolk counties. The ride will conclude with a barbecue lunch at Christ Church Babylon at 1 p.m.
New leadership announced at WPOA meeting BY GARY SIMEONE A new list of officers and directors was announced at the April meeting of the Garden City Western Property Owner’s Association. Gerry Kelly was announced as President, Roseann Vernice as Vice President and Arnold Finamore as treasurer at the meeting which was held last Tuesday night. The new list of Directors for the 2017-18 year included Gloria Weinrich, Lauren Grima, Maureen Tracker, Nick Vernice, Tom Rivera, Joan O’Sullivan, Joe Licari, Terry McCarthy, TJ Michon and Tom Nastasi.
At the meeting Deputy Superintendent of the Department of Public Works, Domenick Stanco, gave an overview of how is Department functions and a list of some of the upcoming spring projects planned for the village. “I am involved with the day to day operations of the Department and reinforcing safety practices in the field is one of my main priorities,” said Stanco. He said that the key responsibilities of the Department of Public Works include maintaining the quality of life for residents of the village, establishing safe construction practices and upgrading and maintaining criti-
cal village infrastructure. Stanco was one of the lead people in the village’s response to hurricane sandy in 2012. He worked with FEMA representatives on a weekly basis during the height of the storm. “We had forty to fifty men out there during the heart of the storm and we saw old oak trees dropping like toothpicks. Thankfully nobody was injured,” said Stanco. Upcoming projects include road and parking lot improvements in and around the village. Road resurfacing projects on the west side of the village include resurfacing of Lincoln See page 50
Two of the main topics at the village Board meeting last Thursday night included an update on the Long Island Railroad’s proposed Third Track project and comments from village residents about the increased fees for local charities including the Andy Foundation and Mollie Biggane Melanoma Foundation. Village trustee, Stephen Makrinos updated the public on the status of the LIRR 3rd Track project and the impact it will have on the village. “We want to keep an open dialogue with the MTA and LIRR about this project and try to be helpful if the project moves forward,” said Makrinos. “Our main goal is to minimize the negative impact for the residents of Garden City. Doing nothing is not an option.” On April 12th, the MTA and LIRR released their Final Environmental Impact Statement related to the plan which can be found in a link on the village website. Makrinos listed some modifications in the project that would help protect village residents if the plan to build the third track goes through. Modifications include sound walls installed near the Nassau Haven field to help protect nearby residents from noise from approaching trains. The walls would be built at a certain height to lessen the sound of the traveling trains and reduce their visual impact to people in the area. Another step would be aesthetically improved designs at the Merillon Avenue station including not having an oversized elevated crossover for people to cross from one platform to the other. “We wanted to have assurance from the MTA/LIRR that there would not be an increase in truck traffic on Nassau Blvd as a result of this project,” said Makrinos. “This is one of the aspects of the plan we worked with them on.” As part of this agreement the LIRR will not widen the underpass at Nassau Blvd to accommodate more truck traffic nor will they change the grade under the bridge. The station at Stewart Manor is also expected to undergo a complete renovation including a repaving of the parking lots at the expense of the LIRR.
Increase in fees to use St. Paul’s
Members of local charitable organizations were at the meeting to air their concerns about rising fees to host events at the St Paul’s fieldhouse. The newly renovated fieldhouse See page 50

A WORD FROM THE PUBLISHER
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Rethinking field usage fees
This is the season in which many of our homegrown charities hold special events, some of them at the St. Paul’s complex. For example, The Andy Fund’s annual Yard Sale will be held on May 13th, and the Jay Gallagher Memorial Lacrosse Tournament will be held on June 17th. However, due to steep increases in the usage fees for these facilities, the charities will have to decide if they want to continue to run events at St. Paul’s. In the case of the Jay Gallagher Tournament, the fees have gone up from $1500 in 2015 to $20,000 in 2016 for a two day event. The rates had been developed by the Recreation Commission, but at the
Email: Editor@GCNews.com
most recent meeting of the Garden City Board of Trustees asked the Recreation Commission to review the rates. A simple solution is to have a two tiered rate structure - commercial entities pay a market rate, and 501(c)3 charities pay a rate that just covers actual costs. And speaking of covering actual costs, there may be ways to work with charities to even reduce those. For example, perhaps volunteers at these events can help with trash pickup, or provide help in field maintenance (if that’s a typical cost for field usage). We urge the Recreation Commission to think of creative solutions.

A mixed bag
To the Editor: There have been commentaries in recent weeks about the resignation of School Superintendent Robert Ferisen. Some have praised him as a “strong leader” who has maintained the historically high academic standards of the Garden City School District. It is true that Dr. Feirsen has continued the proud tradition of excellence in our schools, with the help of an extraordinary community of good parents who support their children to excel in school, sports and activities. But while praise for strength might be due to Dr. Feirsen, there are families, students, teachers and coaches who will be relieved about his departure. Many feel Dr. Feirsen has fostered a climate of intimidation and unfairness, with many instances of fear and threat, that he has targeted children with disabilities, and that he has left behind expensive lawsuits for the Village to settle. Some staff and parents have made anonymous protests because they fear retaliation for lodging their valid complaints, and many say Dr. Feirsen just ignored their concerns or whitewashed unfair incidents to cover up. So for many, Dr. Feirsen’s tenure has been a mixed bag. While the Board of Education interviews for a new Superintendent, strength and strong leadership are certainly imperative skills to continue overall educational excellence in GC, and of course to maintain the high property values a great school district brings, but perhaps the BOE should also seek to find a successor who fosters respect, and a climate where all members, especially the children of the community are all treated fairly, and with dignity. After all, a school district is not a corporation, the leader of a GC schools is a role model, and responsible for helping to mold young, beautiful minds - that is a task where character and values should be valued as highly as “strong” management skills. Best wishes to Dr. Feirsen in his new post, and no comparison

Open-minded viewpoints
To the Editor: I have read with much interest the article in the April 21st issue “LIRR Committee provides update on proposed Third Track Plan”. I admire the open minded and detailed viewpoints of Garden City Village. I attended the scoping sessions in New Hyde Park to give one example went over the crossings in New Hyde Park, Mineola and Westbury. Coincidentally, I asked about the Denton Ave., Tanners Pond Road and Nassau Blvd. overpasses, the attendant had no answer. The article covered that and other points. There are people adamantly opposed and there are those who favor grade crossing elimination but oppose the third track. True, there is the inconvenience and mess of construction. View what is best in the long run. Steve Brent

All are invited and encouraged to participate in an Emergency Blood Drive to support Long Island Blood Services this Sunday, April 30th from 7:45 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. in the St. Joseph’s School Gymnasium at 121 Fourth Street in Garden City. Anyone between the ages of 16 and 75 who is in good health and weighs at least 110 pounds can donate blood. Healthy individuals over 75 can donate blood if they present written permission from their physician obtained within two weeks of their donation. (16 year olds must have parental consent on a Blood Center form which can be accessed at www.nybloodcenter. org) Donors should have eaten and should bring reading glasses and ID with signature. To register please call (516) 319-2459 and leave your name and phone number. Please help save lives ... Become a blood donor ! Why YOU should be a blood donor: • There is no substitute for blood. The community blood supply depends on
donations from people like you. • Not enough people donate blood. Less than 2% of the population donates blood each year. That does not satisfy hospital needs! • The blood supply needs to be replenished constantly. Blood products have a short shelf life, only 5 to 42 days. Donated blood is immediately prepared for transfusion to patients in hospitals throughout the community. • Blood is in constant demand for accident and burn victims, surgery and cancer patients and more. • You can donate blood every 56 days. That’s up to 6 times per year. • When you donate, you get a mini-medical exam, including a blood pressure reading, iron count and temperature. • Donating blood takes only 10 to 12 minutes, and the entire process requires only about an hour of your time. • Knowing that you gave “THE GIFT OF LIFE” and those who received that gift will be forever grateful.

School Start Time Community Forum
Parents and community members are invited to attend a Community Forum on Monday, May 1st at Garden City High School from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. to discuss the possibility of a school starting time change for the 2018-2019 school year. Members of the Board of Education’s School Start Time Steering Committee have been studying the issue to learn what the newest research tells about the sleep needs of teenaged students, and the results of schools that have pushed back starting times to meet those needs. The committee has reviewed options presented by our Transportation
Department, and also surveyed parents, staff, and students about a possible school start time change. Members of the committee are now asking the greater Garden City community for input in advance of a presentation at the May 16th Board of Education meeting. The discussion will take place in the high school auditorium, include research and information about the topic, plus a question-and-answer time. To learn more about the issue, please visit the “School Starting Time Study” page on the district website under “Recent News”: www.gardencity.k12. ny.us. We hope to see you there!

Historical Society gala honors past president
In addition to Old World Quality Corporation owner Vinny Muldoon and Former Mayor Nick Episcopia, The Garden City Historical Society will honor Brian Pinnola at its upcoming Gala Benefit, Thursday, May 11, at the Garden City Country Club. With his passion for architecture and history, Brian Pinnola has devoted countless hours in service to the Society as trustee, vice president, and president (an unprecedented eight years), and has served as chair of the Building, and Archives and Acquisitions Committees. Please join us in thanking Brian for his exceptional dedication to the Society and his care of the Museum structure, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and whose restoration the May 11 Gala will support. Brian’s dad, who had a keen eye for art, antiques and architecture, enjoyed driving through Garden City and admiring the beautiful homes. Fittingly, one of Brian’s earliest experiences with older buildings occurred in Garden City not far from where he now lives in the Mott section. As a teenager traveling home with his parents from his grandmother’s in Glen Cove, Brian noticed that the former Amoco service station with the cupola at the southeast corner of Washington Avenue and Old Country Road (231
Washington) had been converted into an attractive office building for architect Angelo Francis Corva, retaining its slate roof and lighted cupola. During college while responding to a help wanted ad published by an industrial/commercial real estate brokerage firm seeking a salesperson, Brian was pleasantly surprised as he pulled up to 231 Washington Avenue to see that the company was located in the building that he admired as a teenager. More than a year after being hired by the brokerage firm, then known as Bagnato Realty, Brian identified a boarded up, former Odd Fellows Hall, built 1911 in Inwood, L.I., an area he had been working in due to its proximity to JFK Airport. The brick and stone corner building had beautiful large, arched windows, a standing seam hipped roof and a cupola, and was located at a bus stop, across from the U.S. Post Office and a bank. Brian figured the adjacent vacant land would make an ideal parking lot, and the structure could be converted to offices and ground floor retail space. He approached his two brokers about an idea to form a partnership and purchase the building, and they, along with Angelo Francis Corva, the architect formerly located at 231 Washington Avenue, bought the building and renovated it into offices and

retail space. They submitted an application, and the building was declared a Town of Hempstead landmark. For marketing purposes, Brian named it “The Landmark at Inwood”. That project spurred his interest in architecture, historic preservation and history, and began a lifelong passion of collecting archival books and reading about those subjects, viewing and visiting sites, and joining the Historical Society board over 20 years ago, and more recently the board of SPLIA (Society for the Preservation of Long Island Antiquities). He also serves on the Board of the Rockaway Development and Revitalization Corporation. The experience of supervising “The Landmark at Inwood” renovation was instrumental when Brian and fellow Historical Society board member George Bowen, with funds secured by NYS Senator Kemp Hannon and former Society president Joanne Adams, managed the renovation of the interior of the Society’s 1872 Apostle House, leading to the successful opening of the Museum in 2005. Brian still looks forward to the creation of a Reading room on the second floor adjacent to the Archives, which could be used for scholarly research and for general studying and viewing of the Society’s Continued on page 32...

Myth #1: When is Garden City not really Garden City?
We thought it might be of interest from time to time to include some material for residents to mull over or laugh about regarding common myths and other misconceptions about our Village. This one involves the off cited but always incorrect reference by businesses and other institutions to being in Garden City when actually they are not. Last week, www.libn.com ran a news story about a potential takeover of publicly held Lifetime Brands. The article prominently started with “Garden City-based Lifetime….” Lifetime Brands - we would love to have you located in Garden City but you are not. For that matter, neither is the Long Island Children's Museum, the Aviation Museum nor Roosevelt Field Mall. Talk about alternative facts! That is correct, folks. The Mall at Roosevelt Field is not in Garden City. Neiman Marcus - not in Garden City. Nordstrom - not in Garden City. The apartments on Stewart Avenue near the huge post office facility named "Avalon Bay Garden City" - not in Garden City either. The Village receives no tax or other revenue from these entities. They apparently like the cache of saying they are in Garden City - but again, they are not. For that matter, the huge postal facility on Stewart Avenue - also not in Garden City. Some of these entities have the same postal zip code as
Garden City, but postal zip codes are not confined to a set municipality. More myths to follow.
CHIPS Funding
The Consolidated Local Street and Highway Improvement Program (CHIPS) was established by the New York State Legislature in 1981. According to Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi, the potential funding increased from $493,000 to approximately $566,000 because a new item - extreme winter repair funding - was included for 2017-18. It is an increase available to the Village when extreme winter conditions cause the hiring of an outside contractor to help the Village deal with a storm. “If we have an extreme winter and we have to hire an outside contractor, as we do occasionally to help the Department of Public Works with large parking fields, we can use this particular money to reimburse that vendor. It actually extends our available funding,” Mr. Suozzi said.
Increased Pedestrian Traffic
With warmer weather approaching, the Garden City Police Department reminds motorists to be cognizant of the increase in pedestrian traffic, particularly children, and bicyclists. Please pay particular attention when driving as a few preoccupied young people will inevitably dart out from in between parked cars or fail to look for oncoming traffic when crossing the street.
Chamber of Commerce honorees
The Garden City Chamber of Commerce’s annual Pineapple Ball will be held Friday evening, May 5, 2017 at the Garden City Hotel. The Chamber will honor the following distinguished members of our community: Howard Tarr, Tarr’s Home Improvements, Inc., Citizen of the Year Award; Jan Burman, The Engel Burman Group, Businessperson of the Year Award; and Legislator Laura Schaefer, Community Achievement Award. Congratulations to each of the honorees on their well-deserved recognition.

Garden City Public Schools Question of the Week
In alignment with the Board of Education’s Legislative Affairs Committee’s goal of enhancing communication with the community, Garden City Public Schools has continued its “Question of the Week” feature. If you have a question you’d like answered about public or board policy, school district operations, or budget preparation and voting, please email: knightc@ gcufsd.net. Q: Parents often compare school programs or building amenities to other districts. How do you respond to such comparisons? A: Comparisons can provide a general sense of a school district’s local, state, and national standing. Outside organizations annually rank school districts using a variety of metrics, including graduation rates, the number of students taking Advanced Placement exams and the scores achieved, the percentage of free and reduced lunch students, and more. Annual ranking organizations include U.S. News & World Report, Newsweek, The Washington Post and schooldigger.com. Each ranking organization utilizes its own set of metrics, so the parameters of the rankings are an important consideration when reviewing these findings. Whatever the metric, Garden City Public Schools consistently ranks in the top tier of public school districts on Long Island. For example, just released on April 25, 2017, U.S. News & World Report ranked Garden City as #2 public high school on Long Island; for 2016, the same publication ranked Garden City as #3. For 2015, Garden City ranked #1. The difference between these placings can come down to a percentage point or less. Ranking organizations often include ALL school types in comparisons, that is, along with open enrollment public schools, like Garden City, they include results from charter, magnet, and/or privately backed schools. These schools can select students for admissions and expulsion, so another important consideration when reviewing school rakings
is to disaggregate by school TYPE. Open enrollment public schools admit and educate all students, so the metrics for Garden City Public Schools include the results for ALL students, including students with disabilities. As important as the district’s emphasis on academic rigor, and not included as a metric on the national rankings, Garden City Public Schools is equally focused on the development of well-rounded students who feel valued and included in the school community. The social-emotional growth and development of our students is integral to the district’s standards of success during the school-age years and long after they graduate. To inform district and building administration, student surveys have been conducted at the elementary, middle and high schools to determine how students feel about the school culture, and their perceptions about feeling safe, secure, and valued. The results of the most recent survey indicated an overwhelmingly positive response. Each building maintains a character education program and a wealth of opportunities to appeal to students’ interests. Alums, too, share their sense of college preparedness during Alum Return Day and in testimonials (see “In Their Own Words” video series on the district website). The proposed 2017-2018 budget for Garden City Public Schools operationalizes all aspects of the school program from academics to athletics and clubs. It also maintains the buildings themselves, and all the technology, books, and supplies needed to fill our classrooms. As the vote approaches on May 16th, please consider that even though Garden City Public Schools has proposed a budget that stays within the tax cap for the sixth year in a row, registered voters still must vote on May 16th, 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. at Garden City High School. All the budget information is included on our website under the “Budget Information” sidebar on the district website: www.gardencity.k12. ny.us.

After 100 days BY BOB MORGAN, JR. So on Saturday it will be 100 days of President Donald J. Trump. The President will be marking the day with one of his campaign-style rallies in central Pennsylvania. Perhaps not coincidentally, the rally will be held on the same day as the White House Correspondents Dinner, which Mr. Trump has declined to attend. In any event, it certainly has been quite a ride for 100 days, starting with Mr. Trump’s stark inaugural address in January in which he used the word “carnage” to describe some of the country’s ills, while declaring that the “forgotten” will be forgotten no more. Mr. Trump can claim a number of accomplishments, including getting the confirmation of his Supreme Court nominee, Neil Gorsuch, rollback of many of President Barack Obama’s executive orders (for example, on the Keystone pipeline) and a strike in Syria that reassured many of the United States’ willingness to use force if necessary. Obviously, he will need to make more progress on two major issues – health care and taxation. Mr. Trump’s revised temporary travel ban is still under review in the courts. In my view, however, perhaps the biggest development was the attempt of the opposition to delegitimize Mr. Trump’s administration, and a mostly successful effort by Team Trump to stabilize the situation. In making these points about the delegitimization campaign, I am not ignoring that many Mr. Trump’s wounds have been self-inflicted. For example, Mr. Trump’s exaggerates too much and his Twitters are often counterproductive. Attempts to make Mr. Trump into someone beyond the political pale obviously dated back to the campaign. Perhaps the best example was the abuse that comedian Jimmy Fallon received after he playfully tousled Mr. Trump’s hair on his show. Liberals repeatedly condemned Mr. Fallon for “normalizing” Mr. Trump’s candidacy. After Mr. Trump won, a number of riots broke out and some presidential electors were harassed. But efforts redoubled after Mr. Trump took office. He was greet-
ed the day after taking the oath with a massive Women’s march in Washington and many other cities, which was followed by numerous other demonstrations. In the last few days, for example, activists marched on tax day to demand that Mr. Trump release his taxes and then marched in favor of “science”, an obvious reference to Mr. Trump’s reluctance to act on climate change issues. Beyond the marches, however, was the media and political assault on Mr. Trump, with absolutely no willingness to give Mr Trump a political honeymoon. From the start, Democrats and many members of media attempted to make Russian efforts to influence the 2016 election as the dominant story of the early Trump presidency, with demands for recusals and appointment of a special prosecutor. Late night television and Saturday Night Live pretty much continuously ridiculed Mr. Trump. Nevertheless, the volume of the attacks seems to have muted in recent days and there now is more of a sense that this is a normal presidency. The Russia story has faded for a variety of reasons, including the lack of any specific evidence linking Mr. Trump or any top aide to Russian strategists and a counterattack by Republicans focusing on surveillance on the Trump team during and after the campaign. But another reason has been Mr. Trump’s increasing engagement in foreign policy, including a successful meeting with the Chinese leader and the President’s willingness to carry out the Syria attack, something opposed by Russia, which undermined the argument that that Mr. Trump was too friendly with the Kremlin. Mr. Trump now is in a better position to move forward with agenda items like health care and tax reform. Even after an all-out assault, his approval ratings are middling, in the mid-40’s, with strong support from his base. The economy seems to be getting stronger. A recent poll showed that Mr. Trump would still defeat Hillary Clinton. The 100 days are over, and Mr. Trump, while perhaps a little bloodied, very much remains in the fight.

Demonstration gardens help people grow their own food BY GARY SIMEONE
A community garden in East Meadow helps to show people how to grow their own food and potentially stave off hunger in needy families. At the Cornell Cooperative Extension at 832 Merrick Avenue, the main mission is to show people how they can grow their own food at home that is nutritious and healthy. Jennifer Cappello-Ruggiero, Horticultural Community Educator at CCE, said that the location holds a community garden, vegetable garden and a farm stand where produce from the gardens is sold. “Our community garden has individual plots for people to rent throughout the season,” said Cappello-Ruggiero. “We collect alot of the produce they don’t use and that is sold to soup kitchens in the area.” She said that there are over 60 garden plots that are rented to people mostly throughout Nassau County. The idea behind the demonstration gardens is to show people that it is pos-
sible to grow food and lots of it in small spaces where the soil is ripe. Greg Sandor, Executive Director at CCE, said that the idea is that people will take their expertise and bring it back to their own neighborhoods to grow the best vegetable gardens. “Through demonstration from some of our master gardeners, people can gain knowledge on how to grow vegetables and even things like composting and bring it back to their own communities,” said Sandor. He said that residents in lower income neighborhoods have already begun to grow their own vegetable gardens. Some examples include a successful garden at a Westbury senior citizen home and at the Bethany House, a homeless shelter in Roosevelt. Sandor said that the CCE not only serves Nassau County but has a cooperative Extension in each County throughout the state. More information on the garden can be found at the CCE website, ccenassau. org.

Garden City PTA News Mark your calendars - School Budget Vote, Tuesday, May 16th at GCHS from 6:00 am to 10:00 pm. If parents of children in GCPS won’t vote... who will? These are our children, our public schools and our community. Don’t let someone else decide the outcome for your child. Every vote counts! Garden City PTA Statement read at April 20, 2018 Board of Education Meeting: The Executive Committee of the Garden City Parent Teacher Association would like to thank the Administration and Board of Education for their hard work in preparing the 2017-18 school budget. We would also like to thank the members of our community who took the time to advocate on behalf of our schools and public education by participating in our StandUp4GCPS campaign in March. We are confident such grassroots campaigns over the past four years have raised awareness within our community of the critical issues facing our public schools and have successfully communicated Garden City’s educational priorities to our elected representatives. In light of Washington’s educational priorities, our roles and responsibilities as public education advocates are more important than ever. We must remain vigilant and be prepared to stand up in support of public schools at any time. We understand the challenges you face in formulating a school budget for a public vote. A school budget must meet both our community’s high expectations for a quality education for all its students and respect its investment through the tax levy. We appreciate that the Board of Education has put forth a school budget that preserves academic, co-curricular and extra-curricular programs and continues to adhere to class size guidelines, allowing next year’s students to enjoy the same opportunities as this year’s students. Such year-to-year continuity is not an easy task in today’s legislative and economic environments. We commend you for once again achieving this while remaining within the tax cap limit. Proposition II continues the allocation of the Capital Reserve Fund established by voters in 2015. If Proposition II is approved by voters in May, the Reserve will fund many much-needed capital projects throughout the district, all without issuing a bond, increasing the tax levy, or negatively impacting valued programs that might have otherwise be reduced if these capital projects had to be included in the school budget. Since 1945, the GCPTA has been dedicated to advocating for each and every child’s right to have the best educational experience possible. We encourage the Board of Education, the district, and our community to continue to work together in support of our schools. Advocacy does work!
The Executive Committee of the GCPTA supports the 2017-18 school budget and Proposition II and urges all community members to vote “YES” in support of children, education, and community on May 16th. The Nominating Committee is pleased to announce the slate of nominees for the 2017-2018 PTA Executive Committee. Please join us for our annual meeting on Tuesday, May 2nd, 7:00 pm in the GCPL for the installation of the new officers, PTA updates, and more. President, Jackie Costello; President-Elect, Danielle Atteritano; Executive Vice President, Pat Aprigliano; Vice President Legislation, Anna Allsbrook; Vice President Curriculum, Gail Madigan; Vice President Communications, Christine Maichin; Secretary, Janalyn Pomeroy; Treasurer, Maya Bensen; High School Director, Ronda D’Antonio; Middle School Director, Randi DeCicco; Stewart Director, Donna Kraus; Stratford Director, Kimberly Fellingham; Hemlock Director, Gina Donovan; Homestead Director, Jennifer Sullivan; Locust Director, Crista Regazzi Thank you to the Nominating Committee members for your hard work.

Staff Appreciation Luncheon dates: • Thursday, May 18th – Hemlock School • Friday, May 19th – Stewart & Stratford Schools • Monday, May 22nd – Locust School • Tuesday, May 23rd – Homestead School • Thursday, May 25th – Middle School

Who We Are
Since 1945, the Garden City Parent Teacher Association has been dedicated to serving children and families in our community. Today’s Garden City PTA is a network of parents, teachers, administrators and community members devoted to the educational, social and emotional success of children. Our commitment to creating a collaborative environment where families and the school community can work together has and will continue to foster positive change in our schools and within our community. Together we are a powerful voice for all our children, a relevant resource for our families and a strong advocate for public education. Through our annual membership drive and fundraising efforts we are able to provide cultural programs, speaker engagements, health and safety programs, monetary awards to high school seniors and so much more. Many of our events and programs have become longstanding traditions in our schools and for our students. Our grants have enhanced the educational experience for students in each of our seven schools. Our members can be found volunteering their time and talents in our schools and throughout our community.

June Fay receives the Martha Washington Award from Long Island SAR President Joseph Vermaelen. Photo by Matt Fay. Garden City resident June Fay was honored on April 2nd by the Long Island Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution. The event was held at the Irish Coffee Pub in East Islip. Fay was given the Martha
Washington Award, which was presented by the President of the Long Island Sons of the American Revolution, Joseph Vermaelen. The award was given to her in recognition of service to the SAR, in the area of directing and assisting potential new members to the organization, and acting as an unofficial liaison between them and the SAR . In her role as the Registrar of the Garden City based Colonel Aaron Ogden Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, June fills a similar function. She is called upon to direct prospective members to genealogy resources in an effort to help them unearth and document their ancestral lineage in order to qualify for membership in the NSDAR. Her knowledge of this specialized genealogy research work greatly assisted her in helping potential SAR members. Both the NSDAR and the SAR require members to document their ancestry back to an American Revolutionary War soldier who rendered service to the cause of freedom during the American Revolution. “June is a very valued member of our organization, and works very hard. I am so thrilled that she received this well deserved recognition”, said Chapter Regent Leslie Dimmling.
Historical Society gala honors past president Continued from page 20... archival material. The enactment by the Village of a reasonable landmark law would be a culmination of work efforts by Brian and his colleagues on the Society’s Preservation Committee. “We do not want to lose another National Register listed structure again,” he says, referring to the demolition in summer 2015 of a late 1870s residence—in its place, the construction of a much larger and taller house sited among National Register listed homes in the Central Section of the Village. Brian believes that any proposed Village landmark law should also include important historic residences and commercial properties that may not be listed on the National Register. During the fall 2015, Brian, assisted by members of the Society’s Preservation Committee, led a walking tour through central Garden City for the national organization, Initiatives in Art and Culture, whose annual conference was focusing on planned communities. While recounting Brian’s service from management of the historic structure’s interior restoration to his leadership on the Archives Committee and day-do-day contributions, SPLIA Executive Director Alexandra Wolfe recently wrote, “Brian, in his mod-
est way, truly walks the preservation walk.” According to Brian, “No vision-no progress. Akin to A.T. Stewart’s development of a planned community on the barren Hempstead Plains, Garden City could again make a name for itself among preservationists, urban planners, architects and the public through a thoughtful, sustainable, renovation and adaptive use of St. Paul’s into a Village cultural, sports and community center.” The Gala Benefit on May 11 will provide financial support for the Society’s capital campaign to restore and preserve the exterior of its museum. Event sponsorships are available by contacting Albert Intreglia (516-750-3214 during business hours) or Francine Ryan at 917-796-7586. Reservations for the cocktail reception at the Garden City Country Club will be taken until May 4; tickets are $100 per person ($125 at the door, limited availability). For tickets, contact Gloria Jones at 516-2480042 or 917-446-6131. 50/50 raffle tickets ($10 each or three for $25) are now on sale at the Society’s A.T.

SOCIALLY SPEAKING
The Merry Month of May With ATHENA
This week we will begin the Merry month of May. Will there be any difference? By all rights, we should be expecting a rise in temperatures and blue skies. Let’s all hope for this. No matter the weather - time moved on and Memorial Day is approaching at the end of May. Do let everyone turn out for our Memorial Day Parade and honor those who fought for us in our wars and give them a big hand. Some will not hear that hand but somehow I think they will know that we appreciated what they have done for all of us. Our Legion Post - the William Bradford Turner Post will be grateful for the good reception. If you can donate to a Veteran with a bunch of poppies in his hand do get one and wear it as your tribute. Any donation you give for the poppy will go to the care of the vets who are still not fully recovered and in the hospital. The Bird Sanctuary will be holding its Spring Yard Sale this weekend on Saturday, April 29th from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Sanctuary, opposite 181 Tanners Pond Road. The sale was originally scheduled for last weekend, but was postponed because of rain. If
you go you may come home with goodies that you won’t know you need until you see them. The Garden City Country Club held its monthly afternoon Luncheon and Bridge and Joyce Losgar was the happy winner of the door prize. Of course someone at every table did win something and since all had a good time - I guess they were all winners! The Community Club of Garden City and Hempstead held the final program of this season this past Monday and in addition they had their Peggy Otto Studio Exhibit from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. this is always popular as all the art shown is by the members who study it through the Studio Art program. It was open to the public from 3 to 4:30 p.m. at the Garden City Casino. This showing was well received by the members and guests who attend-
ed the General Program of “Celebrating the Songs of Cole Porter” and it too was well received by all. You can get information on joining the Club by calling 516-746-0488 from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. The Club Secretary will help you. The Club will close out their season with a Spring Bridge and Luncheon at the Garden City Country Club on Thursday, May 25th from 12 noon to 4 p.m. The cost is $50 per person and raffles will be available. The proceeds go to the Club’s scholarship Fund. The members of the Garden City Community Church are looking forward to hearing the President of Adelphi address them on Sunday, April 30th at the Sunday Forum series. The Auxiliary of Clark Botanic Garden will hold their Bridge and Card
Party Fundraiser on Monday, May 22nd starting at 12 noon. Sandwiches, coffee, tea and dessert will be served followed by your game: bridge, canasta, mah jongg, Scrabble, etc. There will be raffle prizes. Check in the amount of $100 for four players should be made payable to Clark Garden Auxiliary and mailed to S. Giangrasso at 105 Chester, Ave., Garden City NY 11530 Happy Birthday wishes go to Joan Nedelka who will be celebrating her special day on May 5th. Many happy returns of the day to you on that date. Just when you thought there would be fewer holidays in May you have Mother’s Day on the 14th and of course there is Memorial day on the 29th. Don’t forget to put your flag out on that last date. Time really does fly, doesn’t it. See you next week.

Kelly Miller, mezzo-soprano
Music Academy welcomes back mezzo-soprano The faculty and staff of the Music Academy are excited to welcome back Kelly Miller, mezzo-soprano, as the co-director of the 2017 Musical Theatre Summer Intensive. Miss Miller, an alumni of the Music Academy and an MAGC instructor from 2014-2016, is currently pursuing a Master of Music in Opera at Binghamton University. Kelly recently placed third at the National Association of Teachers of Singing competition in the Women’s Lower Advanced category. At Binghamton, she has performed in Suor Angelica, Les Contes d’Hoffmann, The Magic Flute, and Cosi fan tutti, and she also teaches private voice lessons to undergraduates and assists in undergraduate courses at the university. Additionally, Kelly has performed in Haydn’s Missa in Augustis with the Binghamton Orchestra and in La Traviata with the Tri-Cities Opera. Kelly will be co-directing the day camp with MAGC Instructor Natalie Fabian. The Musical Theatre Summer
Intensive is a day camp that runs weekdays from July 6 through 21 and takes place at the Ethical Humanist Society building on Old Country Road. Students enrolled will learn a vast array of Broadway repertoire, including solo and group numbers from some of the great musicals of today and yesterday. In addition, participants will study a variety of topics, including proper vocal technique, score-reading skills, acting techniques, working with an accompanist, and more, and participate in theatre exercises and games. The camp will culminate in a fully staged production that will include newly written dialogue based on the repertoire chosen for camp. All students will receive personalized attention from MAGC instructors, all of whom hold advanced degrees in music.

M O T H E R ’ S D A Y S U N D A Y , M A Y 14th BRIDGING THE DISTANCE ON MOTHER’S DAY
Many modern families are spread out across the country if not the globe. Some people move away from family to further their careers, while others are called upon to care for others. Children may separate from their parents to witness new travel experiences. Military service may call individuals away from home as well. Distance can make it challenging to spend time together for major holidays and other special occasions — like Mother’s Day. But Mother’s Day can still be special even if Mom lives hundreds or thousands of miles away. Embrace technology Technology helps break down some of the barriers created by distance. While phone calls were once the way
to keep in touch, many people now utilize various forms of digital communication. Someone who lives across different time zones can talk through texting or the various social media avenues available on computers, phones and tablets. Video apps like Skype and FaceTime enable you to video chat with others in real time. Come Mother’s Day, connect with mom via such apps so you can watch her open up her gifts. Reconnect with home If Mom is the one who ventured from home, help her to reconnect with her hometown or another place she feels attached to. Ship her some favorite regional foods that can only be bought in town. Make a photo or video montage of places of interest in town. These little
touches of home can mean the world to her. Create a special day Even if you do not live near your mother, you can still plan a fun day for her in her town. Make reservations for a spa, hair salon or other sources of pampering and surprise her with all the details. Treat her to the ultimate surprise If possible, make a surprise visit this Mother’s Day. Coordinate the plan with your father or another relative and then enjoy seeing her eyes light up when you arrive. With a little creativity, even families separated by geography can share the magic of Mother’s Day together.
Explore the many ways to reconnect with Mom even if you live far apart.

Resident Receives Town’s first Irish American Heritage Award While Hempstead Town may not be overflowing with four-leaf clovers or located at the end of the rainbow, it is home to a significant, thriving Irish community. After a run-in with some unfortunate weather, Supervisor Anthony J. Santino is proud to host Hempstead Town’s first ever Irish American Heritage Celebration. The event is dedicated to recognizing exceptional Irish American residents who have made a positive difference in their communities while embracing and promoting Irish heritage and culture. “Here in Hempstead Town we have many diverse communities,” said Santino. “We are proud to take the time to honor and acknowledge the very best of each unique heritage. March is the perfect month to recognize our outstanding Irish residents.” This year’s honorees include: Kathryn Driscoll Hopkins of Garden City, Chief Clerk of Nassau County Supreme Court; John Murray Jr., owner of Mulcahy’s Pub and Concert Hall in Wantagh;
Hempstead Town Supervisor Anthony J. Santino (third right), Senior Councilwoman Dorothy Goosby (second left), Councilman Anthony D’Esposito (second right), Town Clerk Nasrin Ahmad (right) and Receiver of Taxes Don Clavin (left) present Hempstead Town’s first Irish American Heritage Award to Kathryn Driscoll Hopkins of Garden City. Sean O’Rourke of Woodmere,

sured long-time public servant and Mayor-elect; Donna Ryan, Levittown community volunteer; and a posthumous tribute to the great Steven McDonald, NYPD Detective from Malverne who became an international hero when he forgave the teen who shot him and left him as a quadriplegic. Michael Byrne, current Nassau County Feis Chairman, is gracing the ceremony as the keynote speaker. Entertainment is provided by the Donny Golden School of Irish Dance in Mineola. The Nassau County Police Emerald Society Pipe Band and the Nassau County Firefighters Pipes and Drums are supplying the music. The event is sponsored by Stop & Shop, who is providing Irish specialties and refreshments. “Our Irish American community is as vibrant and lively as ever,” stated Santino. “I would like to thank our honorees, our keynote speaker Mike Byrne, our entertainment, our pipes and drums, and our sponsor for making this event truly special.”

Wear your poppy
To the Editor: This September marks the 100th anniversary of the establishment of Camp Mills, located east of current day Clinton Road, between Commercial Avenue and Meadow Street. Camp Mills initially was established to prepare Army units prior to their deployment in Europe during World War I. It included the aviation supply depot, Hazelhurst Aviation Field 1 (later Roosevelt Field)
and Aviation Field 2 (later Mitchel Field). Roosevelt Field is the area from which Charles Lindbergh made his historic flight to Parish after his stay at the old Garden City Hotel. The “Fighting Sixty-Ninth” infantry regiment of the 42nd Rainbow Division trained at Camp Mills during WWI. After use of the camp was temporarily suspended, the camp was reestablished in April 1918. By September 1918, over 31,000 troops were stationed there. A significant number of American soldiers were shipped to France from the camp that bears the name of Major Sergeant Albert L. Mills, a Medal of Honor recipient due to his gallantry during the Spanish American War. I urge you to notice the monument to the 42nd Rainbow Division at St. James Street and Rainbow Place near the site of Camp Mills. This monument was restored and rededicated on November 11, 2004. The renowned poet (Sergeant) Joyce Kilmer fought with the Rainbow Division. His nephew was present at that 2004 rededication. This year when a veteran of our post or a lady of our auxiliary hands you a poppy, remember especially the deceased veterans who were deployed through Camp Mills. Jacqueline Burdi Eltringham, Chairlady American Legion Auxiliary Unit 265 Poppy Drive
3rd track plansdiscussed
From page 1 hosts numerous events for foundation including the Andy Foundation and Mollie Biggane Melanoma Foundation. Jill Palmeri, founder of the Andy Foundation, said that the fee that the village charges is exorbitant compared to previous years. “If these outrageous increases continue, these foundations won’t be able to survive,” said Palmeri. Deborah Hussey, a long time board member of the Mollie Biggane Foundation, said that the escalating fees for the usage of St Paul’s will have a long term effect on the Garden City
community and it’s legacy. “The people effected by this are long time residents. Our foundation has saved the lives of Garden City residents and that is a fact to consider,” said Hussey. “We don’t want the community losing the sense that we take care of our own.” She said that a better solution would be for the village to balance the budget in a way so “that it will not effect the good will of our charities.” Village Mayor, Brian Daughney, said that he will ask the village’s Recreation Commission to review and rethink the fee increases.
New leadership announced at WPOA From page 1 and Glen road’s. Fifth Street, Euston Road, Brompton Road and the Merillon Avenue cut-through are all slated to be resurfaced. The parking field improvement list includes Stewart Manor parking field, the Country Life Press parking field, Clinton parking field and improvements in and around St. Paul’s. Stanco said there is a possibility that the Long Island Railroad would absorb
the cost of the Stewart Manor parking field repairs due to the LIRR third track project, but “it is still too early to talk about that.” Stanco said that there is future plans to upgrade and resurface the 7th Street parking field but that the village’s engineering department needs to take a better look into the scope of the project. “7th Street is planned but a more intensive evaluation needs to be done before any work gets underway,” said Stanco.
Kidsday reporters interview American Idol
Lauren Alaina with Kidsday reporters from Garden City Middle School BY PATRICIA ROBERTS, TEACHER Several students from Mrs. Nardone and Mrs. Roberts’ sixth grade English class recently boarded the Long Island Railroad and headed into the city. At the Mineola train station, the students and their parents joined Kidsday editor Pat Mullooly and Mrs. Roberts to travel into Manhattan to attend a listening party with American Idol Lauren Alaina. Everyone was so excited, as Ava so eloquently stated, “Meeting someone famous is always a thrill!” When the parents left to go shopping at the nearby Chelsea Market, Pat Mullooly and Mrs. Roberts and the students were escorted by Lauren’s manager into the Kola House Club. The students, bursting with enthusiasm and excitement, were ready to interview Lauren Alaina as she debuted her latest album, The Road Less Traveled. Lauren’s smile and easy disposition made the students feel very comfortable. “This is cool,” Dylan said as they began to interview the famous American Idol singer. They learned that Lauren wanted to be a special education teacher when she was younger and that math was her favorite subject in school. She has been singing since she was six years old and has never suffered from stage fright. Lauren shared that she has written over three hundred songs and was very excited about her new album, The Road Less Traveled. Finally, to end the interview, Ava asked, “Lauren can you help us with this?” When the students started singing her song Georgia Peaches, Lauren, pleasantly surprised and excited that the kids knew the lyrics to her song, joined in and sang along. The room was
bursting with excitement. Once the interview was over, the students headed upstairs to the lounge, and sat in the VIP section waiting for Lauren’s concert to begin. They were so surprised and happy when they each received Lauren’s autographed CD from her manager. Lauren moved onto the stage and began singing Doin’ Fine, Queen of Hearts, Road Less Traveled, Three, and My Kinda People to a room filled with her adoring fans. Everyone was singing and clapping. Then Lauren announced to the crowd that before the concert, she was interviewed by a few students that she really enjoyed meeting. She said, “Those students mean the world to me.” She dedicated her last song to the Kidsday reporters. “You can be whatever you want, as long as you put your heart into it,” she told the students. The crowd went crazy, clapping and applauding. Pat and Mrs. Roberts were very touched by Lauren’s warm, honest and sincere dedication and encouraging words. Nicole yelled, “Lauren just dedicated one of her songs to all of us. That’s amazing!” When Lauren came off stage she went right over to the students and posed for several pictures with them. “She’s really enjoying being with these students,” Mrs. Roberts said as everyone took selfies. After the event, the students joined their parents at the Chelsea Market for a late night snack and then headed back to Penn Station. The commuters on the LIRR received a special treat that night as they listened to the students singing Lauren’s Georgia Peaches song. “I felt like Cinderella and that my fairy tale is coming to an end,” said Kami. We all agreed and continued singing.

Simple ways to avoid injuries when working out A desire to live a healthy, active life compels many people to include exercise in their daily routines. Numerous studies have shown that regular workouts that include a combination of strength training and cardiovascular exercise can make bodies less susceptible to injury while reducing a person’s risk for conditions such as heart disease, stroke and diabetes. Exercising is most effective when it’s part of a daily routine, but that routine can be derailed if men and women are not taking the appropriate measures to avoid injury while working out. While even professional athletes succumb to injury from time to time, there are steps everyone can take to avoid injury when working out. • Confirm your technique is the right one. Exercise science is continuously evolving, and that means workouts and fitness machines are evolving as well. When using a piece of equipment for the first time or altering a workout routine, men and women should consult with a gym employee or personal trainer to learn the correct technique. Incorrect
technique can lead to minor and serious injuries because muscles are used in ways they are not intended to be used when exercises are performed properly. Research appropriate techniques, taking advantage of online video tutorials if you don’t exercise at a gym, to ensure the exercises you want to perform are done properly. When beginning a new routine, ask a friend or gym employee to observe your workout and let you know if you are doing anything incorrectly. • Be patient. Lifting too much weight or pushing yourself too hard on the treadmill, exercise bike or elliptical machine will increase your risk of injury. This is especially true for men and women working out for the first time or after lengthy stretches of inactivity. Men and women who are elderly, inactive and/ or overweight are likely to suffer from poor balance because their muscles are weak. Those muscles can be strengthened over time, but remain patient and stick to light weight during initial workouts so lack of balance does not lead to pain or injury. Take the same approach with aerobic exercise to prevent muscle
strains and pulls. Increase weight and the intensity of cardiovascular exercises as muscles gradually strengthen and become accustomed to exercise. • Allow for adequate time to warm up. Failure to warm up is another contributor to exercise-related injury. Before diving into a workout routine, spend between five and 10 minutes warming up your body with some low-intensity exercises. This increases blood flow to the muscles and makes them more elastic and pliable than cold muscles, thereby improving flexibility. Some low-intensity cardiovascular exercise on the stationary bike or treadmill can greatly reduce injury risk during the workout. • Vary workouts and exercise regularly. Varying workouts is a good idea because doing so can prevent repetitive-use injuries and prevent overuse of muscles. Repetitive-use injuries such as shin splints and tendinitis require extended rest to heal, and that can derail your routine and nullify your progress. Vary workouts so you are not always working the same muscles, and don’t mistake varying workouts for varying
The health of teeth and gums can impact other parts of the body. workout schedules. Working out five days one week and one day the next increases your risk of injury. Injuries sometimes happen when exercising. But veteran and novice fitness enthusiasts can employ a handful of simple strategies to greatly reduce their risk of injury while working out.

Recognizing Risks In Home Care Home care aides provide a variety of services including; housekeeping and errands, companionship, assistance with bathing, dressing, meals, medication reminders and help with mobility. Sometimes home care is provided by caregivers working on a direct basis with the client or patient in need of services. Many families that directly use the services of a professional caregiver do not realize that there are potential liabilities and tax consequences that go along with the employment of this caregiver. These consequences can be significant and have serious risks to the family receiving care. The home care industry is highly fragmented and the choices can be overwhelming for most. Many families lack the knowledge of what to look for and the questions to ask a prospective caregiver. Many families fail to verify employment eligibility in the U.S., check references and perform thorough background checks. Rather, too often they simply seek to minimize the cost for care or take the first caregiver refer-
ral without understanding the implications of their choice. Unbeknownst to families, in most care situations when the caregiver is not employed by a home care services company but rather works directly for a family or individual, there is an employer – employee relationship created between the worker and the family. A failure to recognize this relationship can cause both the caregiver and family to incur significant financial liabilities. To begin, families receiving care should recognize that any caregiver that receives pay for services must pay the government any taxes due. As the employer the family should be withholding and making payments for social security, Medicare, unemployment tax, and federal and state payroll taxes. When the family is the employer and responsible for compliance and none of these taxes are being paid, the government may pursue the family or their estate for back taxes, interest and penalties. In cases, where relationships are longer term, this tax responsibility can be substantial. In addition, in the event the caregiver is not paid overtime as required by law the problems and liabilities can compound.
Worker related injuries are perhaps the most potentially financially devastating result for families and caregivers who are unaware of the employer – employee relationship. If no workers’ compensation protection is provided (as mandated by New York state law), and the caregiver sustains an on the job injury, the liabilities can be substantial. Uninsured medical costs and disability payments for workers can cause financial hardship for even an affluent employer. Many families incorrectly assume that homeowner’s insurance will cover this type of loss, when, in fact, homeowner’s insurance can specifically exclude employees in the home. However, when a caregiver is employed by a home care company with compliant workers compensation and disability insurance in place this risk of work related injury or non-work related injury-illness is managed by the company. Unfortunately, the home care industry is not immune to individuals that take advantage of the frail or cognitively impaired. This can subject an individual to physical, psychological or financial abuse. When the caregiver in these cases is a direct employee of
the individual in need, there is often little to no oversight of the caregiver. Whereas when the caregiver is an employee of a reputable and licensed home care services company, not only are thorough background and reference checks performed but there is ongoing comprehensive oversight and management of each caregiver. In addition, the home care company is responsible for social security, Medicare, unemployment tax, payments, as well as federal and state payroll taxes and verification of employment eligibility to work in the U.S. In addition, they are required to have professional liability insurance in place to manage the risk of their caregivers. By simply changing the dynamics of the employer – employee relationship, where the caregiver is an employee of the home care company, families can substantially reduce their risks and at the same time improve their level of care.

Since around October, 2014 my visits to the Williston Park office of Empire Medicine & Rehabilitation have aided in my recovery from an ecoli infection in my bloodstream that occurred on July 16, 2013. As a result of this infection my body threw a fever, documented at 107 degrees, which killed the infection but I suffered a brain bleed that compromised my cerebellum and affected my speech and coordination. I have been attending EMR’s Williston Park
Patient Testimonial office three times per week. My experience has been through acupuncture and exercise, which, in my opinion, has assisted in my recovery immensely by seeing vast improvement in my ability to walk and talk. Also,
my coordination has gotten better. I have been receiving acupuncture needles in my head, arms, torso, legs, and feet. My exercises have included basic standing as well as shifting weight front and back and left/right. In
addition, Dr. Li has suggested and monitored outside activities, including physical therapy and Yoga. He has also recommended exercises that can be done at home in my spare time. My attendance at EMR has made my recovery easier to bear, although I realize that motivation must come from within, EMR has made it manageable. My long road to recovery runs through EMR.

Garden City HS Girls Lacrosse 2017
Following their spring break road trip, the GCHS Girls Varsity Lacrosse team returned home to play two games at Warren King Field and came away with two wins to continue its 2017 winning streak, but fell to Moorestown High School (NJ) in an away game last Saturday in the Brains for Gains Lax Tournament. The team is now 11-1 on the year. West Genesee High School, a powerhouse lacrosse team from the Syracuse area, visited Garden City to take on the Trojans on Tuesday, April 18th. After Garden City took an early 3-0 lead, which included back to back goals by Celia Concannon, the West Genny girls settled in and worked their way back into the game. The half ended with the score tied at five. The second half opened with the West Genesee team coming out hard, but fortunately the GC girls had an answer for each goal scored by their opponent. With 8 minutes left in the second half, attack Jackie Brattan tied the score with her 2nd goal of the game. Just 2 minutes later, Jenn Medjid scored Garden City’s go ahead goal to bring the score to 10-9 in favor of GC. Despite several turnovers by both teams in the closing minutes, the GC girls held on for the win. Garden City once again featured 6 different scorers with Jackie Brattan leading offensively with 4 points on 2 goals and 2 assists, Jenn Medjid adding 3 goals, Celia Concannon contributing 2 goals and 1 assist, and Kelly George, Sarah Kaval and Liana McDonnell each adding 1 goal. Solid defense by Devon Heaney, Katherine Galzerano, Catherine Conway and Deanna Weisenburger was key in
the win, and Kaitlyn Larsson recorded 5 saves on the day. A dinner with the GC and West Genny teams was held in the high school cafeteria following the game and was enjoyed by all. On Wednesday, April 19th, Long Beach HS Girls Lacrosse game to Garden City to take on the girls on Senior Day 2017. Garden City’s team includes senior captains Celia Concannon, Devon Heaney and Kaitlyn Larsson as well as Jackie Brattan, Katherine Galzerano, Kelly George, Taylor Gladd, Sarah Kaval and Keeley Scott. Long Beach proved to be a tough opponent particularly in the first half answering just about each goal that GC scored. The half ended with a close score of 4-3 in Garden City’s favor. The GC girls came out in the second half more determined than ever, and GC’s offensive powers took over. Long Beach managed just 2 second half goals while the GC girls put 9 second half goals in the net. Garden City’s offense was operating on full power and again saw 6 different girls score with 2 additional girls also adding assists. Sarah Kaval led Garden City’s scoring with 4 goals and 3 assists, Jenn Medjid added 3 goals and 1 assist, Kelly George contributed 2 goals, Jackie Brattan also tallied 2 goals, and Taylor Gladd and Caitlin Cook each added 1 goal. Liana McDonnell and Julia Kavan each added 1 assist in GC’s 13-5 victory. Following the game, the freshmen, sophomore and junior class and their parents treated the senior girls to a celebration in the high school cafeteria which included dinner and dessert. The underclassmen also presented senior with a personalized poster, flowers and
a beautiful monogrammed robe. It was a memorable event, and the perfect ending to a great day. The team next took at Moorestown High School (NJ) at the Brains for Gains Lacrosse Showcase held at Cold Spring Harbor HS. This annual event raises money to benefit the Making Headway Foundation which is dedicated to the care and comfort of children with brain and spinal cord tumors. This year’s event featured 12 games on two fields with 15 of the 18 teams competing either nationally ranked or listed as under consideration. The Garden City team faced Moorestown High School, a perennial NJ state champion. On a rainy, chilly afternoon, the girls got off to a slow start and found themselves down 3-0 early in the game. They fought on, and at half time trailed by just 1 with a score of 6-5. Moorestown came out strong in the second half, and with only a few minutes to go, held an 11-5 edge over Garden City. The girls fought on, and added 3 late goals, but time ran out, and Garden City lost its first game of the season with a final score of 11-8. Jenn Medjid lead offensively with 2 goals, 2 assists, Kelly George added 2 goals and 1 assist, Jackie Brattan tallied 3 goals, Sarah Kaval added 1 goal. Kaitlyn Larsson had 9 saves on the day. The team is currently an impressive 11-1 with three important conference games to go in the season. The girls will visit Cold Spring Harbor on Thursday, April 27th and Manhasset on Saturday, April 29th, and then return home to take on Wantagh for the season final on Thursday, May 4th.

This 1965 photograph shows the building at the NE corner of Franklin Avenue and Stewart Avenue. It was built in 1912 as the first commercial building on Franklin Avenue. It had retail stores on the first floor and apartments on the upper floors. This pattern would be repeated in other apartment buildings on Franklin Avenue and later Seventh Street. However, this building would discontinue apartments and the upper floors became offices. In fact, the second floor has been the home of the Garden City News since 1976. In this photo, the retail space is occupied by Klipp’s Pharmacy and Fletchers. Klipp’s was so well known that the building was often referred to as the “Klipp’s building”.

Come to San Francisco for 50th Anniversary Celebration of Summer of Love Be Prepared to Be Blasted into the Past
San Francisco’s Haight-Asbury district delights visitors with its psychedelic colors BY KAREN RUBIN My, how time flies! It’s the 50th anniversary of San Francisco’s Summer of Love, when, in 1967,
nearly 100,000 young people converged on the HaightAshbury neighborhood, turning San Francisco into the epicenter of a cultural phenomenon known as the Summer of Love. During this
transformative time, music, fashion, art and new ideas flourished and there was a feeling that everything was possible. The city of San Francisco was a magnet for musicians,
artists and social rebels in the mid-to-late 1960s. They created a counterculture bound by leftist politics, tribal spirit, music and art. Long stamped a literary bohemia, See page D2

Come to San Francisco for 50th Anniversary Celebration of Summer of Love - Be Prepared to Be Blasted into the Past Continued from page D1
attracting nonconformists like the Beat Generation writers of the Fifties, it was a natural progression for free-thinking San Francisco to give birth to a radical new movement eventually embraced by the rest of the world. The 50th Anniversary Celebration – with some 60 different events, special tours, concerts – is already well underway in San Francisco and I’m guessing that tens of thousands of Baby Boomers will grab their tie-dye t-shirts, bell-bottom jeans, and put a flower in their hair and join in for a mind-blowing time-travel blast back into the past. I’ve just returned from my magical mystery tour – more precisely, HaightAshbury Walking Tour: A Musical Trip of The 60’s, a musical Summer of Love walking tour with Wes Leslie of Wild San Francisco Tours – when I was stunningly, and eerily transported back to my past. Let me say at the outset that I can’t recall taking a historical tour where I personally lived the history. Wes (he jokes that he is called “Wild Wes”) is perfect to lead this tour, using his guitar at opportune points – in front of the homes where the Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, Country Joe (of the Fish) and others lived – to recreate the iconic music of that era. What is more, in keeping with the spirit of the Hippie Movement, the tour during this anniversary year is “free” (you pay a suggested donation at the end). Though I lived through that era – memories came flooding back with Wes’ narration – there is so much more of the inside, behind-the-scenes, backstage stuff that I hadn’t known. It is kind of like sitting around a table with relatives and finding out inside scoop you hadn’t realized went on. Wes’ anecdotes and folksy style make the tour as entertaining and fun as it is informative from a historical and cultural point of view. Indeed, what I come away with is a realization that the Summer of Love would not have happened without The Pill and how that spurred cultural changes – most significantly a willingness to challenge the entrenched White Patriarchy and Power Structure. I come away with is a new appreciation of how the Women’s Liberation movement actually fueled the Hippie movement, which, through its counter-cultural, antiestablishment, anti-institutionalism, then paved the way for civil rights, gay rights and peace movements – methods and organizations and themes which are eerily resurgent today.

“Wild Wes” of Wild San Francisco Tours relates the history of Haight-Asbury’s free clinic during his musical walking tour of the district © 2017 Karen Rubin/ goingplacesfarandnear.com During this Wild San Francisco walking tour through Haight-Ashbury (with music!), I learn about the rise – and fall– of the Hippie Movement that reached its pinnacle during that Summer of Love, when some 100,000 descended and overwhelmed San Francisco (consider that the city has a population today of 800,000), much to the horror of local Hippies who decried that famous song, “If you’re going to San Francisco, be sure to wear flowers in your hair.” The very “success” of the Summer of Love proved the undoing of the
Hippie Movement, much to the delight of Mayor Shelley at the time, who went after the hippies with such vengeance that he told area hospitals not to help young runaway teens who OD’d, and told the police to stand down so that chaos would reign. It is a complete surprise to me to learn about how brief this movement was in Haight-Ashbury – like a brief, shining light. The Hippie Movement, which emerged 1965-1967, was aimed at overturning the 1950s culture of uniformity, conformity and obeisance to The Man (whether that is the
Capitalist or the Authority of the white patriarchy power elite). The “Hippies” (named because they were the nextgen Beatniks but not quite the Hipsters the Beatniks were, according to San Francisco Chronicle columnist Herb Caen who coined the names for both) renounced capitalism and embraced everything “free” (free food, free concerts, free health clinics, free love), which is why they were considered so dangerously radical (Communists!) and vilified by The Establishment. After all, America was still in the throes of the Cold War. The social, political ideologues shaping the movement were The Diggers, Wes explains (a group I had never heard of before even though I lived through this era) and must have been news to the other people on our tour, who hailed from Wales, Australia, Hungary, Berlin and Los Angeles (that fellow had taken two other tours with Wes). The Haight-Ashbury district, where the Hippies were concentrated, today seems an odd locale for these counterculture radicals, because this district is dominated by the most magnificently preserved (expensive!) Victorian-era homes, some dating from the 1890s, surviving the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire which destroyed 80 percent of the city. Wes explains that by the 1960s, the district was run-down and cheap to live in after white flight to the suburbs. Back then, you could rent an entire Victorian house for $175 a month and divide that among 10 people (amounting to $80 a month per person in today’s money, compared to the $3400/month rent for an apartment the district now commands). So naturally, it attracted artists, writers and musicians. In the 1960s, half the American population was under 25 years old. These were the Baby Boomers and they were coming of age, disillusioned with income inequality, segregation, the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. “Maybe they hadn’t figured out the solutions but they wanted whatever was furthest from whatever set those things into motion,” Wes tells us as we face one of the most magnificent Victorians, known as “Hippie Temptation”, so they reclaimed the derelict urban cities, swore off capitalism, and embraced drugs that were emerging and love and a philosophy of individual discovery and expression. They picked up where Jack Kerouac (“On the Road” was a handbook for the Beat Generation) and Alan Ginsberg (“Howl”) left off. The emergence of drugs (and the
contrast to the liberals at Berkeley, the intellectual kids, who were theorizing. “The Diggers said, ‘Just do it, don’t theorize.’ The Diggers started putting ‘free’ in front of everything: free food, free concerts, free health care.” Wes traces the actual beginning of the Hippie Movement that led up to the Summer of Love to “The Death of Money” March the Diggers put on. The Diggers, he says, were the activist branch of the San Francisco Mime Troupe, a political satire and theater group. Hundreds came out wearing dark clothing and carrying a coffin filled with cash and coins – “50 years before the Occupy Wall Street movement and Bitcoin.” They opened a free store, stocked with contributions from shopkeepers and what they could scavenge. Tie-dye? That gender-bending fashion innovation developed, Wes says, because the Diggers would get contributions of white shirts and would die them. Interestingly, Wes points out, there was a revolution within the Diggers because the men were writing the manifestos but the women were actually doing the work. Ultimately, he relates, “the structure of the Diggers - who eschewed “leadership” (they were anarchists) falls apart.” But they will be forever

drug culture) was a significant element that led to the rise of the Hippie Movement– like LSD (which was legal), which led to the rise of “psychedelic” experimentation and provided the subtext for culture of “seeing the world in a new way” and a devotion to individual expression, rather than conformity. “Turn on, tune in, drop out,” declared Timothy Leary. The Diggers, Wes explains, took their name from a 17th century group of anarchists in England who would take over unplowed fields and would give away the harvest to end inequality. San Francisco didn’t have farms, but it did have food waste, so the Diggers would go dumpster diving and brought the food to All Saints Parish Church (where we find ourselves standing) and would make a pot of Hippie Stew which they would bring to Panhandle Park (where our tour began, named for the shape, not for handouts), to distribute for free. (The church still gives away food weekly.). One day, The Diggers gave away free food on the steps of City Hall, which enraged San Francisco’s mayor. “’We are not a charity,’ the Diggers declared,” Wes tells us. “’We are an anarchist organization doing what government should do’.” (a philosophy that is reemergent with the antiTrump activism) It was the act of it, in

What’s absolutely great about Spring! BY CLAIRE LYNCH Now that the cold days and snowy mornings of winter have gone, I welcome the warmer, brighter, feel-good days of spring. With the flowers blooming and trees showing their green leaves again, Long Island looks much cheerier. Here are some of the things that I like best about this season of spring.
April Showers Are Sure to Bring …
The accepted meaning of the poem “April showers bring May flowers” is essentially a simple one. April, usually a rainy month, will eventually give way to the month of May, a month where flowers typically bloom thanks to the water April provided. So something good came out of all of that rain. As a young child, I always thought that it actually read: “April showers bring Mayflowers,” i.e., the Pilgrims, etc. Silly me. I really thought that. Several years later I thought about it and realized that since May is the first warm month of the year, and since the rain during the month of April helps things grow, we are bound to have some beautiful flowers appear in May. The actual origin is from the sixteenth century. The rhyme is an excerpt from “500 Points of Good Husbandry” (a book about farming) by
the English poet and gentleman farmer Thomas Tusser. Published in 1557, this little poem originally read: “Sweet April showers Do spring May flowers.”
Oh Spring, Glorious Spring!
On a glorious spring day when I throw open all of the windows and let the fresh air in, I notice that my young cat, Bette, is excited, also, by the improvement in the weather we are having. Hopping up on the windowsill, she sits for what seems like hours inhaling the various scents of the season, watching the people and cars going by and watching the birds as they fly from here to there. While activities go on in my living room, Bette is oblivious. Instead, she is glued to the events outdoors. They are rather routine to me, but this fantastic weather makes everything so fascinating to her. Her enthusiasm for our “perfect weather” is pretty contagious so a friend and I grab some light jackets and head outdoors to take a walk and drink in all of the beauty of the season. I’ll take the four seasons any time and this one in particular, spring, is so perfectly enjoyable.
Seeing Forsythia on Long Island
What’s great about the season? I notice that the daffodils come up first
every spring and I practically jump with joy – at their sight, at the brilliance of their yellow color. Then, a few days or a few weeks later, I see the first signs of forsythia blossoming. Driving along the Northern State Parkway, I see long lines of forsythia off to the side and for this Long Islander, that’s always a sure sign that spring has sprung where we live. My routine? Once I spot the forsythia on the parkways, I look for it in people’s front yards. Usually the forsythia that are in yards facing south start to blossom first. These bright yellow bushes decorate people’s lawns – and light up our worlds. And after a winter that is always cold, windy and icy, I welcome those blooming forsythia. Here’s a bit of trivia: Forsythia
are named after William Forsyth, a Scottish botanist who lived during the eighteenth century who was the royal head gardener and a founding member of the Royal Horticultural Society.
Going to the Zoo
In my family, we have an annual ritual of going to the zoo in springtime. We make our plan, pack our car and head out to see the animals. After visiting the various exhibits we have a picnic outdoors, while we take a break from seeing the penguins, the pandas, the lions, the tigers, monkeys and more. Each year we pick a different place to visit. We make a day of it, enjoying the See page D7

Social Security Mailbag Miscellany BY TOM MARGENAU
Today’s column won’t focus on a single topic. Instead, I’ll just reach into the mailbag (well, really my email inbox) and pull out a hodgepodge of questions. Q: I was a minister for many years. I never paid into Social Security while serving my church. But about eight years ago, I left the ministry, and I have since worked at a series of jobs where Social Security taxes have been withheld from my paycheck. I am now 60. My 64-year-old wife has worked all her life and paid into Social Security. Her estimated full retirement benefit is $2,200 per month. Is it worth it for me to continue at these jobs to build up my own Social Security record? A: If you are working because you like your job or because you need the income, well, then of course you should continue to work. But if you are working just to build up your Social Security account, then I suggest you quit tomorrow. And that’s because you will always get more money as a dependent husband on your wife’s Social Security record than you would ever get on your own account. I’ll explain. You need 40 Social Security credits (some people call them “quarters of coverage”) to be eligible for Social Security retirement benefits. You earn four credits per year. In other words, you need 10 years of work to qualify for your own Social Security. It sounds as if you’d have those 10 years by the time you are 62 years old. But someone who ends up with that bare minimum of one decade’s worth of credits qualifies for a very small monthly Social Security check. My guess is what it would be about $100 per month. On the other hand, once your wife retires, you will be due anywhere between one-third and one-half of her age-66 retirement benefit rate (depending on your age at the time your wife retires). It sounds as if that will be about $700 to $1,100 per month. And that is way more than you would be due on your own account. Let me put that another way. Let’s say you were to get your 40 credits and end up with a Social Security retirement benefit of $120 per month. And let’s further say that you were to be due $1,100 in husband’s benefits. What would happen is that you would get your own $120 and then get $980 in husband’s benefits, for a total of $1,100. Whereas if you were not to have the 40 credits and end up with no Social Security benefit of your own, you’d still end up with $1,100 in husband’s benefits. That’s why it wouldn’t pay for you to work just to build up your own Social Security. Q: My wife and I own a successful small business. We both delayed our Social Security payments until 70. I am now 76 and receive $2,797. My wife is 71 and receives $1,632 on her
own account. All of our current business income, about $120,000 a year, flows to me. And that extra income boosts my Social Security check by about $20 per month. Would it make sense for my wife to take some of that as her salary and let it boost her Social Security check? A: I’m not a financial planner or a tax specialist. You’d have to consult that type of person to get a proper opinion. But from solely a Social Security perspective, it makes the most sense to continue on your present course. In other words, keep building up your Social Security check. Why? Because of the potential benefit it will have for your wife in future widow’s benefits. Chances are you are going to die before she does. And when that happens, she’ll start getting widow’s benefits. Her own benefit will be supplemented by up to 100 percent of whatever you are getting at the time of your death. For example, let’s say you died tomorrow. Your wife would get her own $1,632, and then she’d get an additional $1,165 in widow’s benefits to take her up to your $2,797 rate. So again, the higher your benefit goes the more she will get in widow’s benefits when you are gone. Q: My 88-year-old wife recently died. We were married for 12 years. She was married before and was getting widow’s benefits on her first husband’s Social Security account. Can I get her Social Security benefits now? A: I’m not sure what you mean by “her” Social Security benefits. If you are asking whether you can get the widow’s benefits she was receiving on her first husband’s record, then the answer is no. But if your wife had her own Social Security account, you are due widower’s benefits if the amount of those benefits exceeds what you are currently getting on your own record. Q: In a recent column, you talked about a maximum amount of Social Security that is payable to a family. My wife and I are both about to turn 66 and plan to file for our respective Social Security benefits. According to Social Security Administration estimates, I will be due $2,550 and she will be due $2,480. Will we be impacted by this maximum amount you mentioned? A: No, you will not. The “family maximum” I discussed in a recent column applies only to Social Security accounts involving benefits for children. If, for example, you had minor children (and surprisingly, more than a few retirees still have young kids at home), there would be a limit to how much money could be paid to those children. Those “family maximum” rules are too complicated to explain here. But that’s OK, because they don’t apply to you and your wife anyway. Speaking of maximums, however,
you and your wife might want to consider the “file and restrict” maximizing strategy that I have discussed hundreds of times in this column. That is a procedure with which you, for example, could apply for husband’s benefits on your wife’s Social Security record and then, at 70, switch to 132 percent of your own benefit. Or you could turn
that around. Your wife could file for wife’s benefits on your account and then, when she turns 70, start getting 132 percent of her own benefit. Give that some thought.

San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury district has the most magnificent surviving Victorian-era homes, like the one known locally as Hippie Temptation © 2017 Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com people. Instead, some 20,000 turned out. The Diggers provided free food; the Hells Angels provided child care, Wes says. (Photos of the event are on view at the De Young Museum in Golden Gate Park, which this season has a special “Summer of Love Experience” exhibit.) Kids 12 to 14 years old were running away from home to join the Haight-Ashbury scene, and they were overdosing on the ubiquitous drugs. Dr. David Smith, who was then a 28-year old medical intern (he still lives here), decided to do something and opened a free medical clinic in June 1967, which despite Mayor Jack Shelley’s efforts to shut it down, actually still exists (as we discoverthat we are standing in front of it) and has served as the model for some 2,000 free clinics since. As the Summer of Love event approached, the city was freaking out at what would likely be an invasion of some 50,000 (the museum says 100,000 came). Mayor Shelley shut down the clinic and the police, hoping people would be turned off from coming. Instead, the locals who occupied those Victorian houses turned over their keys to The Diggers, so that the visitors
moved to North Bay where they created a farming commune, the Diggers disbanded. “The Last Hurrah was the ‘Death of Hippies’ march” paralleling the “Death of Money” march which initiated the movement. The Diggers, again wearing See page D6

Come to San Francisco for 50th Anniversary Celebration of Summer of Love - Be Prepared to Be Blasted into the Past C ontinued from page D5 dark clothing, carried another coffin, this time with a Hippie inside, covered with flowers and incense. The Hippie Movement, they said, “was killed off by fame,” adding, “If you care about this, take what you learned and radicalize it.” Indeed, they did: the Hippies willingness to take on the Establishment unleashed the Women’s Movement, the Civil Rights Movement, Gay Rights Movement and Peace Movement. But Haight-Ashbury sunk further and further into decline, becoming an outright derelict and dangerous place, until the Dot.Com resurgence of San Francisco in the early 2000s, and tourism which has resurrected the
colorfully decorated shops, including Earthsong, and Amoeba (which Wes says is the world’s largest independent record-album store). Wild San Francisco’s other tours – such as “Radical SF”, a walking tour through the Mission and Castro districts - are focused on the people’s history and social movements (there is also a historical ghost tour for good measure). Wild San Francisco’s co-founder Wes Leslie is a third-generation San Francisco Bay native (I admire his ring with the insignia of the Golden Gate Bridge and 3 diamonds, which he tells me was his grandfather’s, a transit driver for 3 decades). He makes “bedroom soul” music as Wes Leslie, the Bedroom Player (wesleslie.com)

G O I N G P L A C E S, N E A R & F A R....
W R I T E R’S C O R N E R
What’s absolutely great about spring! C ontinued from page D3 visit. We make a day of it, enjoying the fresh air and each other’s company. This year we chose Prospect Park Zoo in Brooklyn and had a great time checking out the many different animals. As soon as we made our way through the zoo’s grand entrance, we saw the sea lions exhibit. We were lucky in that shortly after we arrived it was feeding time for the sea lions. What a treat it was to watch the sea lions swimming in the water and jumping for their food. In other parts of the zoo we saw kangaroos, baboons, the dingo, cows, the birds in the aviary and plenty of turtles. Prospect Park Zoo is smaller than the Queens Zoo or the Bronx Zoo but it was good to visit on a day when the sun was shining and the land was green.
Little Robin Red Breast
It’s a sure sign of spring when I see my very first robin of the season. My family, friends and I are sure to compare notes about this because it’s been a long-standing tradition for the first person in our circle to get a clap on the back and some congratulations. When I go to work and go about doing errands on weekends I temporarily forget about looking for robins until one day as I walk I see two robins standing on the grass searching for the earthworms in the dirt and looking for the insects that they can eat. I always thought that robins listened to the earthworms moving about but it turns out that they look for the earthworms. (wbu.com) These birds
are so pretty. The male robins have a dark gray to almost black back and tail with a rust or brick-colored breast. The female is paler all over but both strike me as gorgeous, especially on quiet spring days when I am surprised to see them so close by grazing in the grass and showing off how beautiful they are.
Biking With a Friend
Once spring arrived I pulled two bicycles from the garage and a friend and I planned a short biking trip. We knew that we were rusty from the winter months when we stayed inside on cold winter days making hot chocolate and baking cookies and didn’t do any biking at all. That meant that we needed an “exercise tune up.” Before heading out, we did some gentle stretching exercises to limber up. We made Christopher Morley Park our destination and after packing our gear and some food, we headed out on the 5-mile trip. Once there we took in our beautiful surroundings and enjoyed taking some leisurely walks. We later found out that Christopher Morley was a journalist and a novelist. Born in 1890 in Bryn Mawr, Pa., he studied in Oxford, England, and married Helen Booth Fairchild in New York City. They lived in Hempstead then in Queens Village. They then moved to Philadelphia and in 1920 the Morleys made their final move, to a house they called “Green Escape” in Roslyn Estates. They remained there for the rest of his life. In 1934 Christopher Morley built a cabin at the rear of the property called the
“Knothole” which he used as his writing study. He died in 1957 and in 1961 the 98-acre Christopher Morley Park on Searingtown Rd. in Roslyn was named for him. The cabin he built, along with his bookcases and some furniture, was moved from his former house to the park for people to enjoy. My friend and I biked the 5 miles back home and felt refreshed and invigorated from our little excursion.
“No More Hibernating”
And no more couch potatoes. Now that spring is here it’s “no more hibernating” time. The cold winter days are past us and I for one have had my fill of watching movies on Netflix, catching up with books I’ve been meaning to read, sleeping late and doing some
sewing. Now it’s time to go outside and play. It’s jump rope time and jogging time. It’s time for some long walks on the trails in a local park and for some yoga on a mat outside on the grass in a huge park surrounded by some big, old trees with some cumulous clouds floating by overhead. Sitting on my pink yoga mat, I center myself and as I breathe in and out ever so slowly, I feel all of my stress go away. I bring a green smoothie along and now that I really feel “health conscious,” it’s a good time to maintain a regular exercise program because when I do, I feel great! Chilean poet-diplomat and politician Pablo Neruda once said: “You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep Spring from coming.”

“After 30 years of back pain, I’m finally pain free – thanks South Nassau.” NAME:
JOYCE L.
HOMETOWN: AGE:
Jamaica, NY
84
PROCEDURE:
Lumbar Spinal Fusion
I struggled with back pain since the late 80s. In June 2016, I started feeling severe pain that radiated down both my legs. I could not sit and I had to sleep propped up with pillows or in a chair.
LIFE BEFORE SURGERY:
I had surgery in January and I’m thrilled with the results. The morning after my surgery, I was up and walking without pain. I felt like I had wings.
LIFE AFTER SURGERY:
The attention you receive from the staff is amazing. I’m putting the word out – South Nassau is at the top of my list.

Bump in the road! Varsity goes 1-1 last week!
When one thinks of San Francisco sports, what usually comes to mind is the 49er’s, Joe Montana, McCovey Cove and PAC 12 Football. What least comes to mind is quality Lacrosse. With the limitations of Title IX, Boys lacrosse is still primarily an east coast sport. At the College level there is only one Division 1 program west of the Mississippi. However, youth and High School lacrosse is growing all over the country mainly because former east coast players/coaches are moving to places like Northern Cal. The Boys Varsity lacrosse team experienced this first hand last Wednesday night at Shuart Stadium on the campus of Hofstra University. The opponent was nationally ranked St Ignatius Prep High School coached by former Long Island and Cornell player, Chris Packard. This was the 5th year in a row Coach Packard has made the 3000 mile trip east with his team. This year’s east coast schedule was packed with games vs the nationally ranked Landon School (MD), at Hofstra vs our GC Trojans and at Chaminade the following day vs the Flyers. The Trojans watched a fair amount of film on Saint Ignatius and knew they were facing a high energy, athletic and aggressive team. However, once the whistle blew the Trojans looked like the team who was suffering from jet lag as they were a step slow and tentative. GC turned the ball over on 3 consecutive possessions in the first quarter and the Wildcats capitalized by jumping out to a 4-0 lead at the end of the 1st Quarter. There were no microphones on the sidelines, but it was obvious Coach Finnell was not pleased with the start of this game. The 2nd Qtr. was an improvement with goals from Sean Coughlin and Luke Keating to close the gap to 5-2 but a costly turnover at midfield late in the half
led to a Wildcats goal and a 7-2 halftime deficit. In the 2nd half the GC defense stepped up by shutting out the Wildcats. Teddy Dolan made several great saves with the support of the Four Poles of Phil Puccio, Timmy Gormley and super sophomores Colin Hart & Danny Boccofalo. The entire D demonstrated the strength of Coach Jacovina’s system and kept the game within striking distance. The offensive play was better in the 2nd half with less turnovers and creating more scoring opportunities. GC cut the lead to 7-4 early in the 4th Qtr. with goals from Finn Gibbons and JP Basile. The Trojans continued the pressure, but the Wildcats goalie made several saves as they held off GC for a 7-4 victory. Former Hofstra player and current GC 34 Travel Coach, Bryan “Mugsy” Walker was in attendance “When you have the opportunity to play on Hempstead Tpke in a big game, you need to step-up and play for 48 min. The boys didn’t do that today! They will learn from this game and I believe it will help them come playoff time”, Walker said. Saint Ignatius finished a successful trip the following day by defeating Chaminade 11-10 and showed two of Long Island’s best programs that the best team in California can play with the best teams in the east. In sports, the best way to get over a disappointing regular season game is to quickly get to the next game. The schedule maker’s helped out the Trojans by scheduling league rival South Side High School on Friday night 4/21 under the lights at South Side’s new beautiful turf facility. In his career as head coach of the Trojans, Coach Finnell is 10- 1 including a nine game winning streak vs South Side. He always has his team up for this rivalry, however during warm-ups the South Side players seemed to be the fired
up squad and GC seemed subdued as the large “Friday Night Lights” crowd settled into their seats. If the subdued pre-game demeanor was part of the Trojan game plan, it worked as they came out flying and quieted the home crowd immediately. Kiernan Gunn (won 11 of 15 face-offs) started it off by winning the opening face-off which led to a Luke Keating un-assisted goal as he came around the cage off a JP Basile pick and pinged the far corner to the dismay of the Cyclones defenders. The trend continued, Gunn would win the next 5 face-offs which led to goals by Finn Gibbons, Jaime Atkinson (2), Kyle Steinbach and Luke Keating for a 6-0 lead after 8 min of play. When the defense was given the opportunity, they also dominated by winning groundballs causing turnovers and Eric Mueller made the necessary saves. As the Cyclones tried to get back in the game they were thwarted on groundballs by the likes of Junior’s Tyler Wuchte, Matt Granville and Sophomore Justin Coppola. It was 7-1 at the half which led to an 11-4 final which puts their league record at 5-0 and overall record at 8-2. Jaime Atkinson led with 4 goals, with the balanced attack from Finn Gibbons (3 points), Kyle Steinbach (3 goals), Luke Keating (3 points), JP Basile (3 Assists), Sean Coughlin (1 goal) and Jack McManus (1 Assist). As they boarded the victorious bus, Captain Jaime Atkinson said, “We and the coaches were not pleased on how we played Wednesday at Hofstra. Tonight we needed to come out quickly and set the tone early”. Atkinson and his teammates certainly did that and as the bus pulled away their traditional victory song of “You Make My Dreams Come True” could be heard loudly! The next big challenge for the Trojans is the Woodstick Classic!
In the Woodstick, this will be Coach Finnell’s 11th game as head coach. The Trojans are 7-3 in the previous 10. Manhasset will enter the game with a 7-2 record as the 9th ranked team in Tri State News12 Varsity Poll while the Trojans are ranked 8th. Like GC, Manhasset has lost 2 Non- Conference games to #1 ranked Darien and 6th ranked St. Anthony’s. As always, we expect a close exciting game under the lights!
Additional Woodstick Notes:
131st Woodstick Classic ScheduleManhasset High School Saturday April 29th • 10am JV Girls and Boys • 1pm Men’s and Women’s Alumni Games • 4pm Girls Varsity • 7pm Boys Varsity - Game will be streamed live on News12varsity.com Post- Woodstick celebration: Come down to Doc’O Grady’s – 273 Nassau Blvd after the Varsity game. Win or Lose this is always a great time to celebrate the great tradition! The Woodstick is a tradition at all ages. This group of 2017 Senior’s had their first Mini-Woodstick in 3rd grade followed by a Pizza Party at St Pauls! They knew at a young age that the pizza always tasted better after a Woodstick victory. Now we have the Alumni version of the Woodstick for the Men and Women. The competitive juices still flow and the GC alumni Men have been on the short end 5 out of the first 6 games in the Alumni series. The game plan seems simple, the GC roster needs more players born in the late 80’s and 90’s than the old guys who grew up watching the Brady Bunch. It might be time to pass the torch!

Girls Lacrosse Team 29 game winning streak ends
On Saturday, April 22, eighteen of the top-ranked girls’ lacrosse teams in the country competed in the 3rd Annual Gains for Brains Invitational Tournament. All of the matches were held at Cold Spring Harbor High School. After 29 consecutive wins, the Garden City High School girls lacrosse team lost 11-8 to Moorestown despite three goals and two assists from Jenn Medjid. Her teammate, Kelly George, added another two goals and an assist. The Moorestown team improved to 7-1 and is currently one of the top five ranked teams in New Jersey. The next game for the Garden City team will be against Cold Spring Harbor High School on April 27th. Win or lose, each team was able to support a wonderful charity. The Gains for Brains Tournament, founded by MSG Varsity’s Andrew (Raff) Rappaport, helps to raise money for the Making Headway Foundation. Making Headway’s mission is to provide care and comfort for children with brain and spinal cord tumors while funding medical research geared to better treatments and a cure.

Who We Are
For over 80 years, The Men’s Association or simply the TMA has supported the athletic and social activities of students in the Garden City schools and promoted good sportsmanship as well as ideal citizenship. The TMA is composed of more than 100 active Directors, 50 Life Directors and 500 Family members. With the generous support of our fellow residents, the Men’s Association has been involved in a great number of projects covering a wide range of interests. While we are still primarily committed to the athletic programs at the Middle School and High School, in recent years the TMA has expanded their support and sponsorship to other programs benefiting a wider range of students in the Garden City Schools. Some of these programs are SEPTA, the Jamie and Paige Malone Foundation, Best Buddies, the GC High School Marching Band, BAA/ GAA Awards Night, Middle School Bagel Bash, Reeves Scholarship, Bethany LeSueur Jersey Retirement Ceremony, GCHS Stem Program, CPR training for all coaches, HUDL, Robotics, 9th grade BBQ, Kickline, GCTA Hurricane Relief Fundraiser and the Father-Daughter and Mother-Son dances. All of this would not be possible without your continued assistance on aiding all we do. Thanks to all who contribute !!!
How You Can Join
The TMA is always looking for potential new members. If you’re a father who has a child or children in the GC School District and are willing to be involved please contact one of the Officers or Directors for an application. Thanks for all your support! Special thanks to all those who have joined as family members! Go Trojans!
Important
Any directors who have not paid their annual dues please mail your $100 check to the treasurer.

Students also traveled to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to serve at St. Bernard Project, a New Orleans-based nonprofit that serves low to moderate income families, to repair and rebuild homes recently dev-
astated by flooding there. Students who went to Baton Rouge also volunteered with the Jesuit Volunteer Corps at the West End House Boys and Girls Club, which serves at-risk youth through after-school programs, among other populations. Students volunteered at St. Michaels Association for Special Education in St. Michaels, Arizona, to assist children and adults with development disabilities in the classroom setting.

The Garden City Youth Lacrosse Program and Jay Gallagher Memorial Foundation are hosting The Twentieth Annual Jay Gallagher Memorial Tournament on June 17th, 2017. The tournament raises funds and public awareness for the Andy Foundation, Mollie Biggane Melanoma Foundation, and Cancer Center for Kids at Winthrop University Hospital. Ninety teams will participate from the northeast region. This year’s tournament welcomes the GC Challenger Lacrosse Team. The program, started by Brian Collins and Challenger president Al Vanasco is in its seventh year and continues to be an overwhelming success. The challenger program is geared to providing athletic opportunities to children with mental and physical handicaps (ages 6-21). The program also includes baseball, basketball and golf. Thirty participants practice every Sunday afternoon with the help from over a dozen local junior and senior high school students. This year we are hoping to expand the challenger schedule and host teams from Eastern Long Island. The Jay Gallagher Memorial Foundation looks forward to a continued relationship with the Challenger program and wants to personally thank Brian and Al for all their efforts to make this happen. The tournament memorializes Jay Gallagher, Andrew Palmeri, Mollie Biggane, Ryan Kohart and Dave Leistman. Ryan and David were lost in the September 11th tragedy. Ryan was a graduate of Garden City High School and a four-year letterman at North Carolina University. Ryan was the recipient of The Jay Gallagher Award, which recognizes “The Outstanding Freshman in the Carolina Lacrosse Program.” Dave was a graduate of Sewanaka High School and a four-year Letterman at Adelphi University. A long time village resident, Dave was active in the Garden City Youth Lacrosse program coaching both boy’s and girl’s teams. It was with great sadness that the lacrosse world and local community heard of this tragic loss of such fine individuals. Jay Gallagher graduated from Garden City High School in 1970 where he co-captained the varsity lacrosse team. Jay was a four year defenseman at Cornell and tri-captained the Big Red his senior year, helping them to the NCAA semi-finals. After graduation, he acted as an assistant coach for North Carolina, Syracuse, Rutgers and Cornell from 1981-1985. His legacy is still present with the John W. “Jay” Gallagher Memorial Scholarship Fund, which goes to a needy Cornell underclassman.
Jay had a memorable association with Garden City, Cornell and the lacrosse world, and it was with much sadness that members of these groups heard of his death on January 9, 1992, at age 39 from melanoma. Proceeds from the foundation fund two local charities, The Mollie’s Fund and The Cancer Center for Kids at Winthrop University Hospital. The foundation has raised over $1,200,000 for these charities. The Mollie Biggane Melanoma Foundation provides information and services on skin cancer detection, supporting melanoma patients through education of the latest treatments. The Foundation was created in Mollie’s memory after her tragic death at the age of 20 from melanoma. Thank you for all the sunscreen and hats handed out at prior tournaments. Various charities are chosen once a year to receive funds in Andrew Palmeri’s remembrance. Last year 80 elementary, middle school and high school students donated their entire weekend to support The Andy Foundation’s mission statement “BY KIDS FOR KIDS.” These young adults make this event possible and their devotion to the community and charitable service is greatly appreciated. For the fifth year, the Andy Foundation, and the Jay Gallagher Memorial Foundation will team up to support the Cancer Center for Kids at Winthrop University Hospital. The Cancer Center for Kid’s goal is to provide the best possible chance for recovery through superior medical care in a nurturing outpatient setting. In line with the CCFK’s mission statement the tournament welcomes a Bone Marrow Drive. Under the direction of Chloe Rogers the Jay Gallagher Foundation will host the National Marrow Donor Program. Individuals between the age of 18 and 44 can visit Chloe and learn more on how they can save a life. A special thank you to all the Garden City students, alumni and parents who donate their fathers day weekend to help run this event. The Jay Gallagher Foundation has teamed up with RE-LAXIN. RE-LAXIN was started by Cambell Munn hoping to grow the game of lacrosse by repurposing clean, gently worn lacrosse shorts and pennies to developing lacrosse communities. You can contact Campbell at relaxxin29@gmail.com or drop off the 68 Garden Street.
