Superintendent says goodbye to district, honored by Hannon BY RIKKI N. MASSAND
did not appear on the July 6 meeting agenda. An agenda item, approved that night, provided a board resolution and a certificate of appreciation for Hastings’ service. However minutes before the July 6 meeting began, a district employee told the News Hastings informed the board she wouldn’t be able to attend that night to accept her certificate of appreciation.
Minutes into the Garden City Board of Education’s July 6 meeting, board members and district administration turned their heads to see State Senator (and Garden City resident) Kemp Hannon walk into the high school library and circle the room. The man who’s served the community and Nassau County for nearly 28 years in the State Senate came out to praise another fixture of Garden City, weeks before he leaves the village for a position in higher education. Hannon stood in front of the district leaders as well as 30 parents and students assembled for the meeting last Thursday night. He was proud to honor outgoing Superintendent of Schools Dr. Robert Feirsen, who has served in his top position in Garden City Schools since 2005. “This is for our departing superintendent Dr. Feirsen – it is a legislative resolution that was passed in the state senate, commending him on the success and his retirement after 12 years in Garden City, and having survived 12 years of me! Given the difficulty the state legislature has in being able to do the right thing, we’d always reach out for somebody who has a great sense of what is appropriate and what is good policy, what’s not good policy, what things should change. I have had the privilege of being able to call on Dr. Feirsen and getting some great answers. He is not responsible for me but he is responsible for having given me great advice – thank you very much and best wishes,” Senator Hannon said. Dr. Feirsen will spend the last week of July helping with the transition and process of integrating the new Interim Superintendent Dr. Alan Groveman, selected Dr. Feirsen’s last day is technically Monday, July 31 and Dr. Groveman will have five days of work in Garden City Schools prior to his official one-year contract term beginning August 1. School Board President Angela Heineman updated the community on the comprehensive plan to search for a new superintendent of schools. She spoke about the board action at its June meeting to issue an RFP (request for proposals) from search consulting firms “to assist us in the search for a permanent superintendent.” “That RFP has been distributed and the time period for responses has finished. The board received five responses and on July 19 the board will have a meeting in executive session, as is appropriate, to review those proposals and decide which consultant firms we would like to interview. We will have an update on

School Board member Laura Hastings resigns BY RIKKI N. MASSAND
With Garden City governed by four property owners’ associations in the village, the tradition of five school board trustees with one from each POA as well as an at-large trustee has been fractured, if just for the summer months, by a sudden resignation. Last Thursday night Garden City District Clerk and Assistant Superintendent for Business and
Finance Dana DiCapua told the board and a few dozen residents that since the board last met on Tuesday, June 13, she received a letter of resignation from School Board Trustee Laura Hastings, effective from June 15. No reason behind her resignation was commented on at the board’s July meeting, and Hastings was not present. Her nameplate at the board table was gone and her name

A WORD FROM THE PUBLISHER
Thank You Dr. Fiersen
We’d like to add to the chorus of people who have praised Superintendent of Schools Robert Feirsen, who is leaving the district after twelve years of service. He has provided the Garden City School District with great leadership during those years, even as the district has had to deal with the state tax cap
and other issues, all while increasing the role of technology in the school system. We wish him well in his new job as a faculty member at the New York Institute of Technology’s Program for School Leadership and Technology.

To the Editor: We can win this fight against the LIRR Third Track Expansion Project if everyone pitches in and writes and calls the people who can make the difference. Suffolk County utilizes private carting companies to transport their garbage. There are ten townships in Suffolk County that contract the removal of their garbage to private carters. All of these private carters are run by groups of private individuals. These private individual organizations want transfer stations near the railroads so that they can get their garbage into the freight trains. They already have a lot of transfer stations near the railroads but want even more. Local communities in Suffolk County are constantly having meetings and trying to stop the new proposals for transfer stations because of the rats, odors, trash and heavy traffic on local streets. The DEC closed all the town dumps except Brookhaven which takes ash and demolition debris. There is one other
dump open in Smithtown that takes demolition debris. But other than these two dumps, all dumps in Suffolk County have been closed. Now Suffolk County has a huge garbage problem. Suffolk County wants to get all their garbage on freight trains and run them through Nassau County into Virginia, Kentucky or Ohio. Dumping rates are cheap there. So let me make this perfectly clear, the only reverse commuter is a ton of garbage.

BY RIKKI N. MASSAND At the Board of Education’s meeting on Thursday, July 6, two dozen parents and students sat inside the high school library and wondered aloud if a fourth year of Latin studies would be offered to 11 of the dedicated Garden City students. Word had spread through phone calls from the district to the students’ homes that the College Latin course (Latin IV) would be cancelled for 20172018 due to low enrollment, and on the July 6 meeting agenda was a resolution regarding establishment of GCHS classes with enrollment of under 15 students. In response, a students’ petition was presented to the district administration on the last day of school, Friday June 23. At last week’s meeting a student presented a copy of the petition to the board on behalf of those in attendance and all the signees. However, that night the board decided that despite low enrollments, the following four courses will run at Garden City High School: the College Latin course, Video Game Marketing, Conceptual Chemistry, and AP Chemistry. The high school upperclassmen attended last Thursday’s meeting, the first board of education session where several of them were there to speak to the board instead of being recognized for achievements and regional awards.
But the rally in front of the school board was pre-empted by a question and answer initiated by Board Trustee Robert Martin, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Robert Feirsen, and Board President Angela Heineman. Students, alumni and their families listened in carefully before carrying forward their plea to the district administration, speaking about their great Garden City learning experiences involving advanced Latin. Heineman began by recalling a similar situation with AP Spanish in Garden City years ago, when the district considered eliminating having the AP level class as the culmination of students’ World Languages K through 12 coursework. In that instance the district opted to run both AP Spanish and College Level Spanish for just enrollments of five students apiece, with the AP level class being the favored course, “because our students at that time felt that they had trained themselves for the AP course and they had trained for it, and they felt it was the culminating course they wanted.” The contrast was evident now with College Latin favored as the crowd gathered in front of the board. She looked big picture for Garden City Schools and also the numbers – for 2017-2018, five GCHS students had enrolled in the College Latin (Latin IV) course as their only advanced lan-
guage class out of College Latin’s 11 prospective students, Heineman explained. “With the board of education’s efforts in particular for World Languages, a number of years ago the culminating, capstone courses in all our World Language courses was AP. The board made a conscious decision after a lot of deliberation to move away from AP as a capstone course and move towards the College Level – for Spanish, Italian, German, Latin, etc. because we wanted to encourage students to stay with a World Language longer. We didn’t want them to drop it once Level III was finished, we wanted to encourage them to stay with that language for all four years of Garden City High School and pick up a second language if that was their interest. I would not want to limit the students’ opportunity for a capstone experience in Latin next year – within the crux of this maybe there are students who have foregone other opportunities and find themselves in situations where their body of coursework and their studies would be disadvantaged without the opportunity for College Latin, and I do not want to put them in that situation and it is not what we (the school board) are here for,” she said. Heineman noted school district policy for the audience, as the meeting agenda referenced, that any course

with enrollment of under 15 students has to be approved by and would run at the discretion of Garden City’s board of education. She made sure the audience, board members and administrators knew that running courses again with low enrollments are not a guarantee in any particular year. If just five students in all had enrolled in College Latin, she said the answer to run the course may not be the same for another school year. Heineman suggested that the board revisit the policy again later in the 2017-2018 academic year, “to see if attitudes have changed or if we want a different approach.” “The community should know that before it comes around again this time next year, we should hold a discussion in public about this policy and what it should be. We can put this on the agenda for some discussion in the upcoming school year. If we can give more clarity to students and families and our district staff as they advise students coming up, that would be helpful,” she said. Martin as well as board members Tom Pinou and William Holub concurred with her solution, saying the board should continue College Latin in 2017-2018 and examine its policy. Garden City’s students then took to the microphone to encourage a board decision to run College Latin this fall.

CPOA thanks King’s Supermarket manager
The Garden City Central Property Owners Association wishes to thank King’s Supermarket and its manager, Brian Davis, for their very generous contributions to the CPOA’s “End-ofYear” party held recently at the newly renovated Garden City Fire Department. The evening was marked by a banner turnout of guests, both young and old, who were serenaded throughout by Bobby Menges’ fabulous band. Along with the festive party atmosphere, all present feasted on a variety of snacks and beverages (including cheese and crackers, wine, beer, soda and ice cream).
Outstanding among these offerings was the very generous assortment of cheeses, fruits and crackers provided by King’s Market. Praise also goes to the Garden City Fire Department who allowed the CPOA to use its facilities for the evening of the party and the meeting that followed. It was the perfect venue not only for ending the year in great fashion, but also for introducing the CPOA’s new slate of officers and board members. A big “shout out” and “thank you” to everyone involved who helped make this evening special.

Blood Drive
The Garden City Police Department reports an increase in the number of thefts from parked, unoccupied vehicles in the Garden City area, as well as in nearby areas in Nassau County. These thefts have occurred mostly in residential areas during the overnight hours. In most cases the targeted vehicles were left unlocked. During many of these thefts, items such as iPADs, cell phones, GPS devices, handbags, loose change, wallets, and lap top computers, were taken. Alert residents are often instrumental in the apprehension of criminals, particularly subjects who commit larcenies from vehicles. Residents are encouraged to promptly report suspicious activities, persons, noises or vehicles to the Police Department by dialing 911. In addition, residents and property owners who have video surveillance systems that may contain footage of a crime on their property or a neighbor’s property are asked to contact the Detective Division at 465-4150. Garden City Police Commissioner Kenneth Jackson offers some tips to vehicle owners that may prove beneficial in protecting their valuables from theft: • Keep the vehicle locked, secured and the alarm set, if so equipped. Thieves go around checking vehicles to see if they are locked; when they find an unlocked vehicle, they will enter it to see if there is something enticing to take. This is the preferable method of most thieves since they don’t have to break into the vehicle, thereby lowering their probability of being detected. • Keep valuables out of sight. Thieves are like shoppers, they look into vehicle after vehicle until they see something they like. • Keep loose change out of sight. Thieves are looking for a quick way to get money. Leaving loose change, wallets or handbags in your vehicle easily entices a thief to enter your vehicle.
Long Island Blood Services will hold a blood drive in their Blood Mobile in front of the Garden City Public Library located at 60 Seventh Street, Garden City on Tuesday, August 8, 2017 from 2:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. All donors will receive an electronic voucher for two tickets to see the New York Mets at Citifield. Eligible donors must be between 16 and 75 years of age, with a minimum weight of 110 lbs., and no tattoos within the past 12 months. Sixteen year olds must have parental permission and donors age 76 and over must present a doctor’s note. All donors must have valid ID with signature or photo. Donors are encouraged to eat well (low fat) and drink fluids. For medical questions concerning blood donations, call 1-800-688-0900. Call the Library at 7428405 x210 to schedule an appointment. Walk-ins are also welcome.
2017 sidewalk repair rates
The Board of Trustees approved 2017 sidewalk and curb construction charges at its June 1, 2017 meeting. It is necessary to repair or replace a defective sidewalk and/or driveway apron for safety reasons and to reduce the likelihood of lawsuits against you as a property owner and against the Village at large. For these reasons, the Board of Trustees adopted a resolution, which provides that property owners are required to repair or replace defective or damaged sidewalk and/or driveway apron abutting their property within 30 days from the date of a Village notice first sent to the homeowner. If you choose to use the Village contractor, the $150 administrative fee will be waived. All work performed by the Village contractor carries a one-year warranty starting from the installation date. Valente Contracting Corp. of Mineola is performing the work if a homeowner chooses to use the Village’s contractor. Rates are as follows:

• At night, park your vehicle in well-lit areas. In addition, driveway lights are useful in deterring residential vehicle theft. Thefts from parked unoccupied vehicles are, more often than not, just crimes of opportunity. When people take precautions to reduce that opportunity, they most likely reduce the probability of a theft from their vehicle.
Water tank update
Village water consultants, H2M, presented bid specs and technical drawings for all three types of water towers on June 9. A Village Engineer in the Department of Public Works reviewed the bid specs and provided feedback, which prompted a follow-up meeting with H2M. Following a four-hour meeting where officials from H2M and DPW went through the documents line by line in order to ensure every suggested change was made H2M provided the Village with a revised bid package this month. In addition, a copy of the bid specs has been provided to Village Counsel Peter Bee’s office in order for them to review from a legal perspective. Once all language is finalized, and assuming there are no other issues that could delay the process, the fol-
lowing timeline is anticipated: • Advertise bid on July 21 for 4 weeks • Bid opening August 18th • Engineering and Consultant review of bid responses • Present results to the Board at September 21st Board meeting, with the expectation being a decision will be made on the type of tank we want to move forward with • Award bid at first October Board meeting • Starting project in October
Al fresco dining
The English translation of al fresco means “in the fresh” (air). Years back, the Garden City Chamber of Commerce requested the Village change its code to allow for outdoor dining by permit, believed to be an effective way to encourage shopping in Garden City’s downtown. In May 1997, the European-style dining feature was officially implemented between April 1 and November 30. In 2010, however, the Village Board unanimously agreed to grant merchants the chance to offer their patrons al fresco dining year round. To date, 36 Garden City eateries have secured outdoor dining permits. See page 25

Some thoughts on the political scene BY BOB MORGAN, JR.
After a very enjoyable vacation trip, I am back stateside. Since my last two columns have been about travel, I guess that it's time to make a few observations about the current political scene. I will first note that even across the ocean, President Trump has a high profile, and there is much interest about what Americans think of him. While few Europeans are big fans of Mr. Trump, there seems to be as much curiosity as hostility about the new President. Of course, a good amount of Mr. Trump's enhanced profile here or abroad is related to his penchant for controversial tweets. One significant tweet during my vacation related to Morning Joe co-host Mika Brezezinski, and another one was derived from a wrestling video in which Mr. Trump simulated beating up CNN. If anyone wants my opinion, the Mika Berzezinski tweet was pretty indefensible and ugly, while the CNN tweet was perhaps a little silly, but in no way justified the media overreaction. No serious person would regard this cartoonish tape as inciting violence. The latest Trump flap involves a meeting in June 2016 between Donald Trump, Jr. and a Russian lawyer loosely connected to the Putin government. At this writing, the only details we have of the meeting come from the younger Mr. Trump, who states that the lawyer approached him claiming that she had evidence of improper behavior by Russians in supporting Hillary Clinton. There was an email that indicated that some of information to be provided was from the Russian government in support of Mr. Trump, Sr. The meeting itself was reportedly unproductive and it quickly became apparent that there was no real information to be provided and the attorney really wanted to talk about Russian sanctions and adoptions. Obviously, the meeting could be just the tip of the iceberg and, after almost a yearlong search, some evidence of actual collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians will emerge. But these
revelations are extremely thin gruel. Any senior campaign official would be interested in credible damaging information about an opponent and revelations about Russian contributions to the Hillary Clinton campaign, which would have been illegal, is just such information. There is no evidence of any agreement or encouragement between the Russians and the Trump campaign relating top wiretapping or spying. My guess is that, in evaluating Mr. Trump, the public has already priced in his unorthodox tweets, his mercurial temperament, and the continuing Russian investigations, and is not likely to react much in either direction based on daily news reports. Mr. Trump’s approval ratings lately have been steady, if not stellar, with a little more than 40 percent of voters (a little lower in polls of all adults) saying they approve of Mr. Trump’s job performance and his disapproval rating in the low 50’s. There may be a significant number of right leaning voters who disapprove of Mr. Trump’s performance, but like his opponents even less. With one wild card in the mix, I’m thinking these numbers are not likely to move much. The wild card is health care. Unlike taxes, which outside of payroll taxes, are not paid by around half of the people, healthcare affects just about everyone in a very personal way. As many of the Democratic House members defeated in 2010 can tell you, people vote on this issue. Right now, the current Obamacare healthcare regime, with its mandates and shrinking insurance carrier participation, is not particularly popular, but for many people it is the devil they know. Efforts by Mr. Trump and the GOP congress could backfire, and tank their popularity ratings, if they are perceived as denying coverage to many people or pricing them out of the market. This is an area where good communication and thinking through policy choices is crucial and, far more than the Russia investigations, could play a crucial area in the Administration’s ultimate success or failure.

Nicole Turato at Space Academy
Local teacher goes to Space Academy BY GARY SIMEONE
It’s not everyday that a Middle School teacher gets to attend space camp, but that’s exactly what Garden City resident, Nicole Turato did for one week last month. The Herricks school teacher worked on her team building skills through mock missions to the International Space Station and planet Mars at the United States Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville Alabama. She said the purpose of the trip was to excite educators about the STEM (Science technology engineering and math) courses so it would in turn spark an interest in students. “It was such a great and valuable experience and hopefully I can bring some of that excitement we felt at the camp back to my students in the fall,” said Turato. The trip was sponsored by Honeywell through their Honeywell Educators at Space Academy (HESA) program and included hundreds of educators from around the world. Turato said that at the camp, educators were split up into teams who took part in multiple events to test their teamwork and team building skills.
“In our mock trip to Mars, we had team members in different locations including inside the command center, aboard the space shuttle and on the space station,” said Turato. “Everyone had a particular job to do and we couldn’t complete the mission without working together.” She said all of the missions they took part in were timed to see if the job could be completed in a timely, efficient manner. Other activities at the camp included building a blade of shields on the capsules of a space shuttle to protect it against extreme atmospheric conditions. The shields were than tested by having a blowtorch fired at them for a prolonged period of time. “A lot of these activities opened my eyes to what I think kids want to see in STEM. I believe they’d be much more interested in these kinds of hands on activities.” Turato said that the camp sparked an interest in her knowledge of space and the planet’s that she never had before. “After coming home I started reading books on Space and watching a lot of science fiction and space related movies.”

GC High School students stand apart and together BY NANCY FLEMING, GCHS TEACHER
Garden City High School is used to setting records in academics, sports, and community service hours. At the June 24th Commencement Ceremony, attendees were surprised by the school’s latest record. The Class of 2017 contains a record number of multiples in its ranks, including one set of quadruplets, one set of triplets, two of another set of triplets and ten sets of twins. To the students, it’s no big deal, though. According to Nick Mixon, “Everyone at the high school is seen as an individual. We’re so used to being twins, triplets, or quadruplets that we don’t even notice it.” To assert their neighborhood dominance, the Mohans, Mixons, and Farrells used to have epic snowball fights when they were kids. Christina and Alyssa DeGruccio grew up to become co-presidents of the school’s cancer awareness fundraising club. The Gillespie quads – Lauren, Joe, Tom and Dan – are praised for having impeccable manners. Ryan and Alex Joudeh are known for their kindness, and the Laisure twins light up the stage. The Smiths have the most school spirit, and the Fealeys, Valentis, and Anesers are considered to be “super sweet.”
Some of the “multiples” in the Class of 2017 “We’re used to the multiples,” said Kate Farrell. “At Stratford Avenue School, there were always two Gillespies in every class. We waited each year to see which ones we got.” Eileen and Kate Farrell have been
best friends with Danielle, Kaitlyn, and Julianne Larrson since they were kids. Their friendships have continued to grow as they played sports together throughout the years. Principal Nanine McLaughlin noted
that the Garden City High School Class of 2017 has been extraordinary in many ways. “Each of our students has made an individual mark in our classrooms, on our fields, in our community, and in our hearts.”

Garden City Community Park multi-use field set to open
Following a multi-year capital investment program designed to bring fields and facilities to high standards, the newly converted multi-use turf field at Community Park is set to open following some last minute finishes. The multi-purpose field, as well as Fields 3 and 4, has undergone major renovations as part of Phase I of the Department of Recreation and Parks Strategic Plan. The multi-purpose field will be used for soccer, lacrosse and football, and is set to open shortly. “Community Park, one of the Village’s flagship recreational facilities, continues to undergo major upgrades with the addition of the lighted, full sized, multisport athletic field,” said Kevin Ocker, chairman of the Board of Commissioners of Cultural and Recreational Affairs. “A hub of activity supporting hundreds of intramural, travel and men’s league baseball games; soccer, football and now lacrosse each year, this premier park now contains the Garden City Pool, Community Tennis Center, four baseball fields, multi-sport field, roller hockey rink, comfort station, platform tennis courts, miniature golf course and clubhouse. Recent investments made over the last seven years to these recreational assets will benefit generations to come as they provide diverse athletic and leisure activities for all ages.” Fields #3 and #4, completed on time and under budget in the fall of 2016, were the first major project identified in year one of the Strategic Plan. Renovations included synthetic turf infields, new irrigation and new underground drainage systems. The fields were also outfitted with new safety fencing, backstops and dugouts. A full schedule of games christened both fields in September 2016 to rave reviews, which have continued through this year. “It’s about as good as it can be for any community,” Garden City Athletic Association (GCAA) President Al Vanasco said at a fall ribbon cutting. Fields 3 and 4 are primarily used for GCAA intramural baseball, travel baseball, the Men’s softball league and Men’s adult Baseball. Approximately six to eight GCAA travel teams use Field #3 while 20 to 30 GCAA intramural teams use both fields, along with two dozen softball teams within the Recreation Department’s leagues and 10-12 independent teams. More than 100 games are scheduled to be played on the two fields for the month of July. The Pool, which opened for its
61st season of “fun in the sun” in June, has seen an uptick in family registrations, welcoming over 350 more individuals to the membership ranks. Facility improvements, which started about six years ago, continued this spring as Village maintenance staff converted the Game Room into an air-conditioned, indoor dining area. A new shaded area by the Adult Pool also debuted, as well as an accessible gate to the Adult Pool area for the mobility impaired. These upgrades followed a complete overhaul of the ladies and men’s shower and restroom facilities last year. A brand new bathroom was also added near the Adult Pool, as well as a new First Aid Room and larger Family Bathroom to now include a baby changing table and shower area. These improvements are all aimed at improving both the membership value and experience. The converted soccer field is now a turf field lined for multiple sports. Sports groups planning to use the new turf field for practices and games in the upcoming year include Garden City Centennial Soccer, GCAA Thunder Football, Garden City Rams Girls’ Lacrosse and Garden City Youth Boys’ Lacrosse. It is anticipated that anywhere between 12 and 20 games will be played during the weekends during the spring and fall seasons, with each group receiving dedicated practice time during the week nights. The field is now fully lighted with permanent stadium lighting. “We hope our residents will agree that these upgrades at Community Park really make the facility second to none,’ Mayor Brian Daughney said. “My son plays travel baseball and last week the coaches and parents from another team outside Garden City all commented about how spectacular Fields #3 and #4 and the multi-purpose field were compared to other venues.” Mayor Daughney, added, “The present Board members and our former Board member Richard Silver put in a lot of work to get these renovations done and to get in place a funding mechanism. We knew they were long overdue for renovation and we will continue our work.” The current five-year capital plan includes a complete renovation of Field 2, which is expected to be done in 2018. According to the Mayor, the Board is considering, and will discuss at the July 20 Trustees meeting, replacing the dirt infield at Field 1 this fall and adding irrigation.

Superintendent says goodbye to district, honored by Hannon
From page 1 that in August and again our hope is to have a firm hired before school starts this September,” she said on July 6. Throughout the start of fall Heineman says the board wants to develop the process and search criteria while keeping Garden City’s community informed. “The expectation and hope is to have our next permanent superintendent in place by July of 2018. In addition in June we hired Dr. Groveman last month after an interview process to be the interim superintendent. He begins officially August 1 but over the last five days of July he will work with Dr. Feirsen and staff on his transition as well as with the PTA, SEPTA and village officials on issues that we’ve been working on together,” she said. Dr. Groveman’s first priorities will include a meeting with Police Commissioner Kenneth Jackson. Up next for Dr. Feirsen’s career in education is joining NYIT as a faculty member and director of the institute’s Program for School Leadership and Technology. He said in the next few weeks of July he is looking forward to helping with Dr. Groveman’s ori-
entation and making the transition as smooth as possible. Dr. Feirsen left a lasting impression as he held back tears when he thanked the rest of the Garden City Schools administration, the board and the community. His heavy emotions were evident as his last district meeting unfolded. He spoke about the current process of cleaning up the superintendent’s office and unearthing a 2005 Board of Education special meeting agenda which contained a resolution for his own appointment in GCUFSD. He started with some humor before reflecting on the last dozen years. “I may have kept it just to make sure it was official back then, in case the board changed its mind. This is my last board meeting and I want to tell you this has been the job of a lifetime. I could not have asked for a better team to work with all through the school district, from faculty, staff the community and the great bright kids that you bring to us year after year. The students are a delight to teach and they inspire us every day. I thank the Board of Education for its support, guidance, wisdom and vision. No one could have
asked for a better board of education. Everyone complains about some hidden agendas or ulterior motives among school board trustees – I can tell you from the bottom of my heart that here, everybody puts their agendas aside and we collaborate for the benefit of the school district and well-being of the students. For that I am truly grateful, it is a privilege to have served all of you,” Dr. Feirsen said. Prior to the farewell comments, Feirsen spoke about Senator Hannon’s support for Garden City Schools through his efforts on two “minor but significant” adjustments for the tax levy cap at the end of the State Senate legislative session in late June. “One was a motion for capital projects as exclusions to the tax levy cap. The second was to improve tax valuations in our district’s real property growth factor. Every little adjustment helps and the overall impact is showing some signs of being a bit more pliable to changing the tax levy cap requirements. I have not heard that Governor Cuomo has signed those legislative adjustments but I am hopeful he will put his signature on the bills in order for them to
become law,” Dr. Feirsen explained. Before Senator Hannon’s accolades for Dr. Feirsen, President Heineman recognized the rare chance to thank Hannon in person at an appearance at local schools, let alone at a board meeting. She immediately pointed him out to those in attendance and conveyed the district and school board’s appreciation for all his help with pursuing grant opportunities. “I would like to thank our special guest Sen. Hannon as he has been an incredible supporter of our school district. For the last number of years we’ve been delighted to receive and accept additional state aid that was provided to us at the behest of Sn. Hannon. This year (2017-2018) we received $50,000 and he has been generous for his allocations to Garden City and we have done a number of wonderful things with S.T.E.A.M. curriculum and robotics, security initiatives and the coming elementary-level dance program. While he’s here this evening and because we don’t have him often as he’s so busy in Albany and with other constituencies, I want to take the opportunity to thank him for this support,” Heineman said.
After Board discussion, College Latin to continue this fall From page 3 A recent alum made a case for Latin as a language to open up a person’s entire education. Anna Schaubeck graduated from GCHS 13 months ago. She attends the University of Miami with a double major in marine science and biology and a minor in chemistry, but she plans to add Classics as another degree major. Schaubeck took Latin for four years at GCHS, along with German which she said was tiring. She is home for summer and she wanted to ensure that her younger sister Elsie will be able to follow a path that has been academically, intellectually and socially rewarding with Latin studies. Elsie will take Latin III this fall and said if she could have, she would have enrolled in College Latin to add numbers to the course. Both young ladies and their mother attended the July 6 meeting and addressed the board of education. “I’ve always been inspired by the richness of culture and the way Latin fuses languages, the myths and writings are the very foundations of our Western culture. I am surprised more people do not appreciate and recognize this phenomenon because it is so deeply a part of our words and modern society, athletics, militaries, college mottos. Latin is all around us and it is not dead, even though it isn’t continuing to be spoken around the world by future generations. Latin has encouraged me to think so much more deeply about the perspectives of other people,” Anna Schaubeck
said. Liming and Henry Gong, the parents of rising senior Brandon Gong, sat in the front row and were ready to address the board about College Latin. They stayed seated though as students were the ones to speak during public comments last Thursday. Board Vice President Tom Pinou acknowledged that it was a great but rare opportunity for the school board to hear from students during a monthly meeting as they are almost always busy with schoolwork or homework on the board’s meeting nights and the meetings may run too late into the night, even for high schoolers. He thanked the students and alumni for their comments and participation. Lauren Sikorsky, a member of GCHS Class of 2017 who will attend Fordham starting next month, said she is considering majoring in Classics because of her time studying Latin through the College level course in Garden City. At the July 6 meeting rising GCHS senior Hope Kelly was joined by her mother Liz and father Gerry Kelly, the president of the Western Property Owners’ Association. “When I found out about the board’s decision to cut high school classes with less than 15 students and we were told College Latin would not run next year, I was disappointed and shocked. Latin is something I have grown to love over the years. Unlike French, Latin is growing at the high school. This year there were two sections of the Latin I class and next year there will be enough students to have two sections not only of a Latin I
course but for Latin II as well. College Latin has historically been a small class as the challenges of this course deters many students from taking it let alone practicing it at the College level. But the class represents an opportunity to excel for some of the strongest students at Garden City High School,” Kelly said. As noted in the June 16 edition of The Garden City News, in the 20162017 school year 79 students at Garden City High School participated in the National Latin Examination which is sponsored by the American Classical League/National Junior Classical League. In the 2015-2016 year, 70 Garden City High School students sat for the National Latin Exam at Levels 1, 2, 3 and 4 (prose) held March 10, 2016. Garden City’s students are one contingent of nearly 150,000 other participants in the National Latin Exam from the 50 states as well as 19 foreign countries. Andrew Tang was one of Garden City’s participants for Latin III in the immediate past school year and the Latin II NLE exam in 2016. He addressed the Board of Education at their July meeting, as did Tang’s classmate John O’Hare. He told the school board if the College Latin class did not run in his senior year at GCHS this fall, students “would be punished for committing to Latin.” He elaborated on the high school students studying Latin and told the school board many of them are inducted into the Latin Honors Society and involved with the Latin Club. “I’d like to state how my peers feel about Latin as a class in Garden City.
Many underclassmen who specialize and take Latin often take it alongside another modern World Language course. But in junior and senior year schedules get hectic and it becomes a choice between the two languages. I primarily am interested in Latin and am dropping out of German. One World Language sequence would be missing from my transcript when I start college and College Latin would show continuity for four years, commitment to the classes and a desire to study at the college level. Most importantly we want to be able to take a college-level language because many of us are interested in Linguistics as a whole. Not only would it be unfair to cancel College Latin this fall but it would set a bad precedent for future students,” he said at the meeting adding a thought on how GCHS guidance counselors would have to discourage students pursuing Latin. In front of the school board Dr. Norman Ernst, a Garden City High School alum who went on to the University of Pennsylvania and teaching at both Yale and the University of Michigan, spoke about the College Latin course his son Harrison will take. “Back when I was at GCHS, the culminating course was AP Latin. I think it is very imperative for kids who committed to Latin in their first three years of high school and learned its rudiments, several of them have earned gold medals for their rudiments – with
From page 1 School Board President Angela Heineman soon offered thanks and well wishes for Hastings. “You will notice there is a certificate of appreciation on our agenda tonight for Laura’s years of dedicated service to this district and the children of Garden City. It has been a privilege to serve with her and we wish her all the best,” she said. Heineman then announced that for the Board of Education’s next meeting on Tuesday night, August 8, the task of moving forward to fill the void Hastings leaves will be addressed. “When we’ve had vacancies in the past the board has opened up to the public and asked for letters or interest and/or resumes to be sent to the board. The board has interviewed interested candidates before. We have not had time to process this but I’d like to put this item of addressing the board trustee vacancy on our August agenda to have a full discussion in public as to what our plan might be,” Heineman said. During the public comment period, Heineman alluded to a series of interviews for candidates already taking place as of July 6. The four members of the board spent the afternoon with their annual board retreat sandwiched between two separate executive sessions, starting at 3 p.m. The regular board meeting began at 8:15. She was
considering the College Latin (Latin IV) course that many parents and students came out to talk about that evening when she brought up a thought from earlier in the day. “I was thinking about this situation with College Latin and one of the candidates tonight when we held board interviews asked ‘what is it that you as a school board are most proud of in the district?’ My answer was one thing that we have worked very hard at over the last 10 to 12 years is that we want to provide opportunities for all our students, regardless of their ability level, to not just find their passion but to challenge themselves to create great success,” Heineman said. Before the College Latin dialogue the board president asked school district attorney Bonnie Gorham of Guercio & Guercio LLP to explain the board’s options at this time. She laid out the possibilities. “The board of education has three options when addressing the vacancy on the board. The first option is the board may appoint an individual to fill the vacancy and they would serve until the next regular district election – in May of 2018. At that point the vacated seat would also be put up for election and the person elected would serve the remainder of the unexpired term immediately following the election. The second option is for the board a special
election to fill the unexpired term within 90 days of the resignation, and that person would take office upon election and serve the remainder of the unexpired term. The third option is to leave
the seat vacant until the next annual election which is again in May 2018, and the seat would be filled following the election,” Gorham said.

A glorious Fourth of July went over very well this year. The two country clubs did themselves proud with their presentations and it seems that most of the town was quiet. I do know that I did not hear any fireworks in our neighborhood but the ones I saw on television were just lovely. It’s a safe and comfortable way to watch them. The Garden City Pool has been having a good turnout so far. I do wish that it was a bit warmer air wise and water wise. I do know that they cannot heat the water, but we do wish the sun was more active at this time. The photos of the Community Clubs Lunch Bridge at the Garden City Country Club were very good and the ladies seemed to be having a wonderful time. There could be a repeat event at the same Club for this coming year’s season. If you think that it’s only the ladies who get together on a regular basis at their homes to play bridge - think again. The gentlemen also do the same thing and its all year around. Since bridge is so popular you can understand that just a couple of tables of bridge players at a home makes a lot of sense. There is no rush to nab a table in a good spot at someone’s home and I do think that the play is also more relaxed. I have heard that some of the gentlemen have also latched on to the idea. School is out and vacation plans are starting to be a big topic - where are you going this summer is the big question. I hear that upstate New York, New England and other close by states are the popular places. When you can drive you can take more things with you and you can take in more sights on the way to your goal. Historic places are always a good choice especially if you have students who are into history. This gives them a chance to see the places in their history books. Try it and you will find you are enjoying it as much as they are. We are now in the month of July and in July the full moon is called the Buck Moon because it arrives
when the male deer start growing new antlers. Now that should give you an item to wow the kids with. It might also wow you! Lorraine and Frank Tauches celebrated their wedding anniversary on July 10th and there was also a certain lady who celebrated her birthday on the same date. They might have shared a celebration cake. If you do not wish to go too far from home for a vacation there are many places you can visit right there on Long Island. I gave you many ideas recently and you can find many more in Long Island guide books. Day trips are fun and you can pack a picnic lunch and find a small park where you can enjoy your own picnic. Just remember of all things take your refuse with you and look for a place to put it or take it home. Parks usually have trash baskets so this should not be a problem. If you are looking for a lovely place to wander through gardens, you might think of Clark Gardens in Albertson. It is a short trip and the walking is very good. The gardens are lovely and you might just meet a guide who can tell you something about the origin of the place. It is a very interesting and yes - they do have a gift shop. If you are looking for a place by the sea but are not interested in swimming, try Jones Beach on the south shore. It has a lovely boardwalk that you can stroll along and see the ocean. They have places where you can purchase a snack or lunch if the and if the ocean is not for you , they have a beach on the bay side and they also have a wonderful pool for adults and even one for the children. The exercise and the salt air will guarantee a good night’s sleep, so do try it. See you next week.

Julia Maloney Scholarship Winner BY JEANNE M. STAFFORD The Garden City Scholarship Fund is pleased to announce that Mairead Pfaff has been selected as the 2017 recipient of the Fund’s Julia Maloney Scholarship. Mairead is the twentieth Garden City High School senior to receive this prestigious award. The scholarship was made possible by a generous bequest of the late Julia Maloney, an elementary school teacher in Garden City for 47 years. The announcement of the award, which comes with an education grant of $12,000 over four years, was made at the annual Senior Awards Ceremony at the High School on May 31st. Selection for the Julia Maloney Scholarship is based on academic excellence, character, service to school and community, a personal interview and an essay describing a teacher who has had a strong positive influence on the student. The essay is read by the student at graduation and the celebrated teacher is present. In addition to maintaining an outstanding academic record, Mairead demonstrated exceptional entrepreneurial prowess by creating “Ribbon Creations” at the age of ten, a business customizing hair bows with direct sales to teams/coaches, athletic and community events and retail sales through local stores. In her role as a volunteer for Garden City Challenger Lacrosse, Mairead volunteered her time to teach lacrosse to children with special needs. “Mariead teaches everyone around her”, commented a Garden City resident who watched Mairead empower everyone around her including volunteers. Mairead has been playing the clarinet for Garden City’s band since 8th grade. To cap off her list of accomplishments Mairead has been a compettive Irish Step Dancer performing in competitive and non-competive events throughout the year with the Donny Golden School

Mairead Pfaff of Dance since 2004. For her essay, Mairead wrote about her teacher, Mr. D’Ambrosio who taught her “You are more than just a number, so much more.” Mairead shared “He taught me to think critically at a level not previously asked of me.” Mr. D’Ambrosio will retire this year and the Julia Maloney Committee would like to share that he was the selected teacher by four of the eleven finalists for this award. In their interviews students said, “We want Mr. D’Ambrosio to win because it’s hard to give him presents.” Julia Maloney is smling from heaven because the spirit of the award she created is alive and well in its recipients twenty years after it’s inception. Mairead will be attending The University of Notre Dame in the fall. We wish her great success as she takes the messages of Mr. D’Ambrosio and the late Julia Maloney to inspire others to give back and to remember we are all “more than just a number.”
When the Garden City Waterworks opened in 1876 this was the one and only well that served Garden City. It was forty feet wide and forty feet deep on 11th Street by Cherry Valley Avenue. It was the deepest well on Long Island at the time, providing water so clean and sweet that it was bottled and sold! This well was torn down in the 1950’s and this photo was taken just before that. Today, Garden City has wells all around the village and many have air stripping towers to help purify the ground water. The wells go down much further than the 40 feet needed in 1876. 140 years of development and contamination on Long Island has affected the ground water so that many in Garden City buy bottled water - just not from around here. How ironic!

Rails-to-Trails Conservancy’s Sojourn Biketour on Great Allegheny Passage Showcases Forgotten Towns BY KAREN RUBIN Our first day on this year’s Rails-toTrails Conservancy’s Sojourn biketour on the Great Allegheny Passage and the Montour Trail, 140-miles biking over six days through Western Pennsylvania, brought us from Deal to Meyersdale with a side-trip that brings us across the Eastern Continental Divide (with gorgeous murals on the tunnel depicting the story),
to the Mason-Dixon Line and a striking monument. It is a relatively short ride that brings us to the tented city we create at Meyersdale’s community park. We have time to explore, and to enjoy the town’s gracious hospitality with a dinner at the firehouse and pancake breakfast, complete with Meyerdale’s famous maple syrup, in the gym of the former high school. (See “Rails-to-Trails Conservancy’s BikeTour on Great Allegheny Passage Highlights

Benefits of RailTrails” 7/7) Day 2: On the second day, we also have an option: to cruise an easy 31 miles downhill to the Confluence Outflow Campground, riding through an enchanting tree tunnel, or taking an on-the-road route to ride up to Pennsylvania’s highest point, Mount Davis. The forecast of rain all day makes the choice an easy one: the easy tree-tunnel route through tranquil forest. Despite some shelter from the trees, we get soaked, but it is a warm rain, and the amount of good cheer keeps us warmer still. The rain stops just as we arrive at Confluence, where we are greeted with two representatives of Confluence in period dress, inviting us to follow the balloons lining a route into the town center for free bike washes at the local cycle shop (and a gift!) and ice cream at the gazebo on the village green. Confluence, I am told, has a population of 700; for these two days, the census swells by 200 more. That evening, no one complains about the rain. The campground is absolutely magnificent, literally at the base below the enormous dam, constructed in 1944 to control flooding and more recently, to generate hydroelectric power. It is a popular place for fishermen. Just after our evening “talk” (a workshop on repairing our bike), and sitting around waiting for phones to recharge, we get word that there is a major storm at Ohiopyle, about 11 miles away. We

have 10 minutes before it hits us. Sure enough, small drops start to fall as I am just steps away from the tent. By the time I get there, rain is coming down in sheets. Day 3 is our “Fun Day” when we don’t cycle (unless we want to), but instead have a choice of activities: Fallingwater tour (designed by Frank Lloyd Wright), Kentuck Knob tour (designed by Frank Lloyd Wright), a rafting trip on the Middle Yough Class 1 – 2, or, the one I choose, a class 3 whitewater rafting trip on the Lower Yough. In fact, 81 of us choose this option, organized by Wilderness Voyageurs, the same company that organizes the Railsto-Trails Conservancy’s Sojourn rides including this one (the company has a catalog full of bike tours). I’ve done a fair amount of white water rafting trips in the past, but this one on the wonderfully scenic Youghiogheny River was absolutely the best – truly thrills and chills, especially since this is the only Class 3 rafting experience offered as a “guide-assisted” instead of having a guide in each raft. That means we are arbitrarily put into rafts and we “elect” a captain. This proves a great challenge and a great experience (I lasted about 5 minutes as captain, exactly one set of rapids, when one of our four rafters got bounced out and we all decided to go into other rafts, leaving one of the guides to portage the raft to a point where he could deflate it and pick it up later). Getting bounced out of the raft – going for a “swim” – is not unusual and
we have been cautioned to only wear what can get wet or lost. We aren’t really on our own – one guide positions himself on a rock and gives us hand signals how we should “attack” the rapid, where to enter and so forth (though the instructions are for naught when inexperienced paddlers can’t follow directions, forget which is left and right, or are being bounced so high, they can’t reach paddle into the water); other guides in a kayak and in a raft are there to pick up anyone who is bounced out, and three of the rafts have guides in them (that’s the one I go into). Over the course of the trip, several of us get tossed out of the raft; one fellow gets a bit beat up. There is one point, though, where we come to an ominous sign warning that anyone who doesn’t want to raft through this particular set of rapids can portage their raft around it. The reason is because there is an underwater cavern, and if you get bounced out here, it is possible to be sucked down under. (Our guide says that most people die of heart failure rather than drowning. Small comfort.) The lead guide says that if any one of us in a raft wants to portage, the whole raft has to. We are in the lead raft and get to watch everybody coming through, cheering them on. Everyone makes it through. We pull in for lunch at a small lagoon – we fill pita with chicken salad (fantastic) or tuna, cheese, lettuce and tomato, and have a wonderful time before continuing on down the river. I don’t even know how long we are on the river – it all goes by so fast.
But we are back at the campground by around 3 pm. A few of us climb up to walk across the dam – the lake that was formed is popular for swimming and boating. That evening, we are regaled by Pennsylvania Jack, a storyteller, and there is a campfire with s’mores. Day 4 is our longest ride – 58 miles on the schedule (albeit mostly downhill), but with an option that increases the distance to a touch over 62. This section of the Great Allegheny Passage, between Confluence and West Newton, where we camp, is the most scenic, with much of it going through the stunning Ohiopyle State Park (Pennsylvania’s largest in land area). We ride along the river for just about the entire distance. When we reach the Ohiopyle State Park Visitors Center, about 11 miles into the ride, I go off the trail to do a hike that I had heard about the year before: Cucumber Falls. I had seen a painting of it in the Visitors’ Center, where there is an excellent historic exhibit, and heard about a hike starting a short walk from the center, and always regretted not doing the hike then. “Follow the yellow feet on the sidewalk,” they tell me. The hike is just about 25 minutes each way – a little over a mile – and proves absolutely enchanting: you follow yellow markings on trees and rocks, do some scrambling, and then, you make a turn and there ahead of you is the most magnificent falls, tucked into the woods. I felt as if I were John Muir coming upon Yosemite Falls for the first time. The lighting is perfect – just a touch
of sunlight hitting the waterfall. It is a magical experience and I am transfixed. (I heartily recommend this hike, which should add 1 to 1 ½ hrs to the day’s ride time.) I’m calculating the extra time, as I get to mile 25.9 (not even halfway), when we have another option: to steer off about 2.1 miles on the Sheepskin Trail connector off the GAP, to go into the tiny town of Dunbar. Having visited last year, I knew this was an off-trail visit not to be missed, especially when you come in this way, off a back trail (even worth the half-mile over a rocky unimproved section). ‘World’s Largest’ Glass Sculpture with Trump Connection is Boon for Dunbar You ride through woods, over the railroad tracks, over a stream, and suddenly, the forest opens up and suddenly, Dunbar appears, like Brigadoon. It is as if time stopped still. There are no people on the street. Nothing is moving. Dunbar once bustled as a manufacturing center for wire corrugated glass – the kind of glass you likely grew up with in schools and government buildings; as a transit center and coke ovens. The buildings, from 1904 and 1906 (a common date we find as we go through these small towns), look vacant now. It reminds me, again, of a movie set. We are greeted here at Dunbar’s Historical Society, housed in what used to be the US Post Office building (constructed1903-1907), which harbors a really wonderful

glass. She bought all the glass and had it moved to her Beverly Hills studio. (There is a marvelous display with photos of Pascal chiseling the “Seated Torso”.) She produced many sculptures from the Dunbar glass between 1961-67, had various gallery shows, and ultimately sold many of them to patrons including President and Nancy Reagan, Frank and Barbara Sinatra, Henry Mancini, and Armand Hammer who presented a sculpted glass necklace to Princess Diana for her wedding. In 1994, Pascal sold the Seated Torso to billionaire John Kluge for $3 million. He moved it to Charlottesville, Virginia, where it was placed in the center of a fountain in his Morven Carriage House. After Kluge died in 2010, Donald Trump purchased his estate including the carriage house. About this time, Donna Myers, Dunbar Historical Society secretary, put a question on Askart.com seeking information of the Seated Torso. In 2013, the head winemaker at the
now Trump Vineyard Winery found the two-year old question and contacted Myers, offering the Seated Torso to the Dunbar Historical Society if the society could raise the funds to move it back to Dunbar - $11,000. Trimbath tells us that once the association with Trump was known, “donations poured in.” The Dunbar Historical Society built an annex to its building, and the sculpture was officially opened to the public in May 2016 (coinciding with our Sojourn). We noticed a change from last year: the letter and photo from Donald J. Trump was moved to a slightly less prominent corner. The sculpture and the rest of the historical society is really worth seeing (www.dunbarhistoricalsociety.com). The train tracks come straight through the middle, as if a main street.

collection of artifacts. But in just the past two years, Dunbar has acquired a world-class piece of art that has put this tiny town back on the map – and not just for the internationally renowned artist, but for how the piece, “Seated Torso” – the largest glass sculpture in the world - came to Dunbar: Donald Trump. Pat Trimbath a member of the Historical Society’s board, tells us the wonderful story of a 60-year odyssey of this piece of glass, which began here as an abandoned two-ton chunk. Dunbar used to be a center for glassmaking, and specifically, the manufacture of shatterproof glass reinforced with corrugated wire but when the Pennsylvania Wire Glass Company shut down in 1955, it was full of large chunks of glass, including a two-ton piece of green/blue glass in its furnace. Artist Suzanne Regan Pascal learned of the treasure trove of glass in Dunbar in 1960 and stayed in Dunbar for an entire year, working on sculpting

revitalized through tourism and culture. Day 5: This proves our most challenging day – not just because it is 48 miles of cycling after yesterday’s long ride, but I suspect because of the humidity and also because much of it, it seems, is uphill. But it also proves very interesting, as we leave the GAP after 17 miles (just after Boston, PA, where the trail becomes very urban, bringing a certain culture shock after such pastoral scenes.). To get from the GAP to the Montour Trail, we ride six miles on urban streets, through a small town of Glassport (where we are treated to snacks and cold water at a church), ride over a bridge to Clairton that gives us an eyeful into what I expect defined Pittsburgh just a couple of decades ago: a humongous pile of coal dwarfing the trucks scooping it up, and across the railroad tracks, a giant carbon materials and chemical plant. We finally get to the beginning of the Montour Trail, which includes several places where you are See page D5

Elderly Seniors Want More From Social Security BY TOM MARGENAU
I guess it’s just a sign of the times we are living in. But I am amazed by the number of emails that I get from elderly seniors, folks in their 70s, 80s and even 90s, who are hoping to get higher Social Security benefits. Today’s column highlights some examples. Q: I am 82 years old. My wife is 78. I get $1,478 from Social Security. My wife gets $766. We started my Social Security at age 65. My wife took hers at 62. I have always been convinced that we are getting the wrong Social Security amounts. I think we should be getting more. Is there anything we can do to get our Social Security checks adjusted to the proper amounts? And shouldn’t my wife be getting more benefits on my record? A: Sorry, but there is nothing you can do about changing your own Social Security benefit checks. I have a hunch that I don’t really need to tell you that the time to question your benefit rate is not 20 years after those benefits began. You should have done so back when your Social Security checks first started. But I can tell you this. Every study I have ever seen shows that the Social Security Administration has a remarkable record of accuracy when it comes to figuring retirement benefits. It’s something like 99.8 percent. I hope you are at least able to find some comfort knowing that it is extremely likely that you are being paid correctly. And based on what you told me, it doesn’t sound like your wife is due anything extra on your account -- at least while you are alive. Many people are under the mistaken impression that a wife is always due an amount equal to half of her husband’s benefit rate. But she is due half only if she waits until her full retirement age to start here benefits. Because she took her own Social Security at 62, those benefits could only be supplemented up to about one-third of your rate. That would be about $485. Her own benefit of $766 is much more than the $485 she is due in spousal benefits. That’s why she only gets her own retirement check. And just so you know, if you die first, she will be due your full $1,478 in widow’s benefits. Or to put that another way, she will keep getting her $766 retirement benefit, and then she will start getting an extra $712 in widow’s benefits to take her total Social Security up to $1,478 per month. Q: My wife and I went to a seminar about maximizing our Social Security benefits. But we left even more confused than we went in. We are so worried that we are losing out on money. Here are our facts. I am 72. My wife is 71. I took my benefits at 66. My monthly check is $2,445.
My wife filed when she was 62. She is getting $1,488. What can we do to maximize our benefits? A: You can stop worrying and be happy! You are well past the age where you can do anything to change your Social Security benefit amounts. But as I tried to point out to other people in past columns, I think you should count your blessings. You and your wife are getting about $4,000 per month in Social Security benefits. There are millions of other senior couples out there who would love to be getting that much money. Q: I am 72 and have been getting Social Security for 10 years. My wife just turned 70. When she filed for benefits at age 62, the Social Security rep said mine was $50 more than my wife’s own retirement, so he just gave her mine. Now that she is 70, can my wife switch to her own benefits with the bonus that people get for delaying their benefits until that age? A: Despite what you may think you were told, your wife is not getting just spousal benefits on your record. She is getting her own retirement, with a little extra from your account. The rules say that anyone who takes benefits before age 66 must always be paid his or her own benefit first. So what actually happened when your wife turned 62 is that they paid your wife whatever she was due on her own retirement record. And then they supplemented that with the extra $50 on your account. So that means there is nothing for her to switch to now. She is getting everything she is due from Social Security. Q: I am 77 years old. I worked for the federal government and get a civil service pension of $4,500 per month. My wife is 72 and gets $1,466 monthly from Social Security. We just returned from a maximizing Social Security seminar. The guy putting on the seminar said I should be able to claim husband’s benefits on my wife’s Social Security record. But when I went to the Social Security office to do that, I was told I can’t. So who is right: the financial planner or the Social Security clerk? A: The Social Security representative is correct. The fact that you are getting such a big civil service retirement pension precludes you from getting any spousal benefits from Social Security. Q: I am 83. I am getting $1,444 per month in widow’s benefits from my husband’s record. I know from talking to other widows in the neighborhood that I should be getting more. Some women are getting more than $2,000 per month. Why am I getting such a small amount? A: I really shouldn’t be so flip about this, but I’m tempted to say that you are getting a smaller Social Security check
because you married the wrong guy! A widow’s benefit is based on her husband’s basic Social Security rate. And that rate is based entirely on his earnings. In other words, the more money a guy makes, and the more taxes he pays, the higher his Social Security check is going to be. So all those widows you know who claim to be getting higher Social Security checks must have been married to men who made more money than your husband did. Or, it also might be that they started getting widow’s benefits at a later age.
For example, if you started getting widow’s benefits at age 62, you are probably getting about 82 percent of your husband’s basic benefit. But if another woman started getting widow’s benefits at her full retirement age (currently age 66), she’d be getting 100 percent of her husband’s Social Security.

Rails-to-Trails Conservancy’s Sojourn Biketour C ontinued from page D3 on/off the trail, on/off a shared road. At one point, I ride around a bend and find myself in a different time zone or the Twilight Zone – a hodgepodge of train cars, trucks, firetrucks, gas pumps and signs from the 1940s or so, as if they were just left there. After a rocky start,
signs – either the historical society or a warehouse for theatrical props. This last day’s ride also lets us see some of the “hybrids” and innovations in repurposed multi-use trails – a section of the Montour is a trail-besidea-rail – the multipurpose trail is carved out of the right-of-way beside the active rail line.

The trail is really nice – it is wonderful to see how local communities show their pride and appreciation for the trail with beautiful gardens and rest stations.

Bugs and Beetles BY JEFF RUGG
What is bugging your garden? Q: We have some ugly bugs in our yard. They are black or dark-brown and only about a half-inch long, and they have a very long beak. What are they, and are they dangerous? A: You sent me a picture to make identification easier. It is an assassin bug. To many people, any insect is a bug, but only one group is really called bugs. The bugs are in the order hemiptera, and there are about 4,500 species in this order in North America. Some, like water boatmen or backswimmers, are aquatic and not classified as bugs. Most are plant eaters or prey on other insects. Bed bugs are a small group that feed on people and other mammals, as well as birds. One thing that characterizes all true bugs is a visible triangle in the area between their shoulder blades. It is usually shaped by the overlapping folding of their wings across their back. Some insects appear to have a triangle on their back but their wings form a straight line down the middle of their back. Some bugs do not have wings, but those that do have four wings. The hind wings are thin membranes with veins laced across them. The forewing is thicker closer to the body and a thin membrane farther out from the body. When viewed from above, the assassin bug’s body sticks out wider than its wings. The long legs and antennae give the bug the appearance of a small walking stick. There is a groove across its cone-shaped head connecting its eyes. These agile insects are very beneficial for landscapes. They kill many soft-bodied insects by sucking them
dry. If you have ever seen a video of them on one a nature show, you know what I mean. There are many things going on in the natural world that you probably don’t want to know about or watch during dinner. Another beneficial predatory insect that is known as a bug is the lightning bug, or firefly. It is neither a fly nor a bug; it is a beetle. They are among the most unique animals of all. They can produce light at will. Some other animals glow, but lightning bugs can turn their light on and off in a pattern. In fact, the pattern is very important. Typically, the female stays on a leaf and watches for a specific pattern from a flying male. When she sees it, she signals back and he comes to her. In a cruel turn of events, some species are predatory on other lightning bugs and use the prey’s pattern to lure them in to become dinner. Each species has a specific pattern. They can differ in the duration of flashes, number of flashes and color of flashes. Some species start signaling before sunset, and others do not start until afterward. Most only signal for a short length of time each day. It is entertaining to watch kids try to catch lightning bugs, as well as try to see more than one species by counting the flashes. They are out flashing in my neighborhood and will continue for several months. The eggs are laid in summer and fall and hatch to larvae. The larvae are also predatory. They overwinter as larvae and pupate in the spring. June bugs are also beetles, not bugs. They are the large brown insects are attracted to your porch lights in the summer. If you knock one down to the
ground, it sometime cannot right itself. The females lay eggs on green irrigated lawns. If the summer is rainy, many lawns may be green and no lawn will have too many larvae. The larva known as a grub. If there are not very many in
each lawn, it is not likely you will need to use a grub control this year. Email questions to Jeff Rugg at info@ greenerview.com. COPYRIGHT 2017 JEFF RUGG

Pet CPR & First Aid Class
Do you know how to help your pet in an emergency? Last Hope is hosting a Pet CPR & First Aid course, together with Paws N Claws 911, on Sunday, July 16th from 12 to 4 PM. The class will be held at the Bide-a-Wee building, across the parking lot from the Last Hope adoption center, at 3300 Beltagh Avenue in Wantagh. Taught with a “real world” approach by a 25+ year pre-hospital care provider and educator, training is geared toward pet parents, pet care professionals, animal rescue volunteers and emergency service personnel. It includes lecture and demonstration with an emphasis on hands-on practice to ensure proficiency in the life saving skills taught. Cost is $65 and includes a detailed handbook, certificate of completion and emergency muzzle. A portion of the proceeds will benefit Last Hope Animal Rescue in their mission to help pets. Be sure to guarantee your space today as registration is very limited due to the hands on nature of this class. To register, visit www.pawsnclaws911.com and be sure to choose the July 16th date option. For any questions, contact Tom Rinelli of Paws N Claws 911 daily until 10 PM at 631-721- 8129.

Andrea Laisure
Julia Giordano
Julie Compton
Lauren Tepper
Meghan Creaven
Girl Scouts of Nassau County recently presented more than 70 Gold Awards— including ones to Julie Compton, Meghan Creaven, Julia Giordano, Andrea Laisure, and Lauren Tepper of the Garden City Association— during a ceremony hosted at Adelphi University. The Gold Award program recognizes the power and dedication shared by an elite group of young women who earn the highest honor a Girl Scout can achieve. Each girl spent more
than 80 hours over the past year planning, executing and presenting the results of her project, which aimed to make the world a better place for others as well as herself. “We are extremely proud to celebrate so many local young women earning the prestigious Girl Scout Gold Award,” said Donna Ceravolo, Executive Director and CEO of the Girl Scouts of Nassau County. “On average, only five percent of eligible Girl Scouts successfully earn the Gold Award, mak-
ing these girls part of an exclusive group of women with the tools to become leaders in the 21st century.” The five recipients each tackled a project that held a deep significance to them. Julie created her project, Rehabilitation for Loss of Memory and Motor Skills, to help patients who suffered from memory loss or motor skills due to aging or injury. She produced games and activities aimed at helping slow t memory loss and improve t motor skills and mental awareness. Julie also created scrapbooks and other crafts that the patients got to keep. To ensure that the activities could be used again in the future, she created a set of laminated memory cards for the care center. Meghan took on the task of spreading knowledge about healthy eating habits and how to achieve a healthy lifestyle through her project, Healthy Habits. Focusing on those who rely on food pantries for assistance, Meghan created a cookbook that included snack and dinner recipes containing foods that are commonly found at pantries. In addition to creating a cookbook for the Our Lady of Lourdes parish, Meghan also rebuilt the shelves of the food pantry to help make receiving food easier. To help others live a healthy lifestyle, Meghan created cooking tutorials on YouTube that are available to anyone. Julia’s project, Dance Away the Pain, combined her passions for dance and help-
ing others. Working with St. Mary’s Hospital for Children, she hosted several dance and stretching classes to help children who had various disabilities alleviate stress and discomfort. In addition to helping the children in the hospital, Julia also conducted her workshops in multiple Troop meetings and at various daycare facilities. In her workshops, she stressed the importance of having mobility in one’s daily routine. Julia created a pamphlet and video explaining the benefits that dance and stretching can have in one’s daily life. Wanting to make her community a safer place by educating its members on the dangers of toxic relationships, Andrea created her project, Staying Safe. Andrea was able to speak with over 200 people in her community— from Girl Scouts to members of her church—about the importance of knowing what it means to be in a healthy relationship. To help with the research for her project, she attended an international conference in Dallas, Texas and toured the Safe Center of LI. Andrea made flyers and pamphlets for her audiences and created a video containing tips and resources for those who may find themselves in a toxic or unhealthy relationship. Through her project, called Project Empowerment, Lauren addressed self-esteem issues and ways to respond to bullying for middle school students. Working with the Garden City Middle School and Children’s Museum of the
East End, Lauren organized two book clubs in two different locations in order to reach as many middle school students as possible. She helped empower middle school youth, by providing them with tips on ways to raise their self-esteem and ways they can help others who also need help boosting their self-esteem. The Children’s Museum of the East End will be continuing this successful project. Gold Award projects have positively impacted girls’ lives, their communities and the world for more than 100 years. Approximately 1 million Girl Scout alumnae have developed Gold Award projects that addressed local or global issues. After identifying an area of interest, a successful Gold Award recipient performs hours of research and prepares a project proposal to be submitted for feedback and approval to their Girl Scout Council before embarking on her project. The Girl Scout presents her final conclusions as the last step of the journey. Lifelong value comes with having earned a Gold Award. According to the Girl Scout Research Institute, Gold Award recipients display more positive life outcomes pertaining to sense of self, life, satisfaction, leadership, life success, community service and civic engagement. Recipients of the award who enlist in the U.S. Armed Forces may receive advanced rank for their achievements and can receive scholarships or other recognition from most colleges or universities.

Garden City wins District 29 Little League Title
The Garden City Little League 12 year old tournament team captured the 2017 District 29 title with a 4-3 win over Franklin Square last Saturday in Franklin Square. The victory marked the third consecutive district title for this group of boys, following up on their district tournament titles as 10 year olds in 2015 and 11 year olds last summer. The members of this year’s tournament team are Joey Abbate, Jack Barker, Connor Brock, David DeBusschere, Kevin Deehan, James Healy, Patrick Heber, Francesco Ingrassia, Danny Macchiarola, Joey Wood and Kyle Wood. The team’s four game run through the district tournament began with a 23-1 victory over New Hyde Park and a 15-0 win over Malverne. The team then defeated Franklin Square 11-3 in a thrilling 8 inning battle before closing the tournament out with a second win over Franklin Square last weekend. As a result of their district championship, the team moves on to the double elimination Section 4 West tournament which begins next Saturday evening in Lynbrook. A victory in that tournament would send the team on to the state tournament as they continue their quest to reach the Little League World Series later this summer.

Gayden Wren to play classic country in Mineola
The classic country music of the 1920s through the 1950s— the music of Hank Williams, Jimmie Rodgers, the Carter Family, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and more—will be coming to the Mineola Public Library on Saturday, July 15, at 2 p.m. Tennessee Walt’s The Other Great American Songbook is a one-man concert featuring two dozen songs from country’s greatest songwriters, the likes of Kris Kristofferson, Ernest Tubb, Loretta Lynn and Hank Williams, arranged for voice and piano. It’s also an intriguing, fact-filled look into what has made country music (and its most prominent descendant, rock ‘n’ roll) popular throughout America and beyond. “Think of it as a cabaret show, except that, instead of voice-and-piano versions of Tin Pan Alley songs from the 1920s through 1950s, these are Music Row songs of the same period,” said Gayden Wren, the musical-theater veteran who performs as Tennessee Walt. “From those two streets
Gayden Wren have come the lion’s share of America’s greatest songs. Both streets were originally
dedicated to pop music, music made for a buck, but in the past 20 or 30 years we’ve come
to realize the classical aspects of the songs of Jerome Kern, George Gershwin and Rodgers
& Hart. I think it’s time we recognized that there’s that same classical essence in the greatest country songs. “This isn’t what people may think of when they hear the words `country music,’” Wren said. “It’s voice and piano, not fiddles and steel guitars, and I won’t be yodeling. And this isn’t the country of Toby Keith or Carrie Underwood— it’s the older, purer country music that inspired them and everybody from Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly and Elvis Presley to Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan and Ringo Starr. Anyone who comes to this show will learn some things they never knew about America’s musical heritage, and they’ll hear some of the funniest, most moving and most musically engaging songs ever written.” Tennessee Walt’s The Other Great American Songbook will be presented on Saturday, July 15, at 2 p.m. at the Mineola Public Library, 195 Marcellus Road in Mineola. Admission is free. For further information, call (516) 746-8488 or visit www.mineolalibrary.info.

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

The Long Island Junior Soccer League, in conjunction with program sponsor Modell’s Sporting Goods, announced the BU11 Garden City Panthers as the Spring 2017 Sportsmanship Award recipient. The Sportsmanship program, the brainchild of Rocco Amoroso, began in the early 1980’s and stresses the important role that sportsmanship plays in the development of players. The program has become an integral part of the league’s competition format with referees submitting sportsmanship ratings after every game, and points allotted by the Sportsmanship committee. Winners are recognized at a special ceremony and get to wear a sportsmanship award patch on their uniform – the only patch players may wear on their uniform other than their club patch. Congratulations Boys!! We are very proud of you! There was a movement within the league to remain focused on the mission of the LIJSL to develop mature adults and responsible citizens through the lessons of teamwork and fair play. The goal was to Build Character Through Soccer, a sentiment that continues to be stamped on the league’s logo to this day.
Standing L to R- Martin Morgan, Tyler Macri, Dylan Coonerty, Steven McArdle, Ryan Campbell, and Paul Glosman. Seated L to RMichael Haskell, Stephen Ragolia, Henry Schnell, Jordan McDonald, Jack McGinley, Peter Vorillas, and Ali Khan. (Absent- Preston Longo). Coaches- Lou Ragolia, Sean Coonerty, and Rob Campbell.
