Village seeking grants for water treatment systems

BOUND FOR THE PLAYOFFS

BY RIKKI MASSAND

After yet another shut out victory (34-0 over Elmont) the Garden City High School Varsity Football team will start the playoffs on Friday, November 5th at 2 p.m. at home. Go Trojans!

Veterans Day in the Village: Ceremony, American Legion meetings set to resume

BY RIKKI MASSAND This Veterans Day, Thursday November 11, 2021, the Auxiliary unit of William Bradford Turner American Legion Post #265, will be hosting “Meet the Veterans” at the Garden City Public Library on 7th Street, in the large meeting room on the lower level. The event will begin at 10:00 a.m., and feature a U.S. Armed Services’ veteran

speaking about their experience. The schedule is for “Meet the Veterans” to continue for roughly 45 minutes as immediately thereafter, veterans, family members, supporters and elected officials will go outside to the Veterans Memorial by the gazebo, gathering at 10:45 a.m. for the annual Veterans Day ceremony where the Eleventh Hour on the 11th Day of the 11th Month will be commemorated. The event had to

The Village of Garden City, which has had to treat water from its wells in order to follow the recent New York State clean water mandates, will be seeking grants to assist with the costs.

In order to remove the contaminant 1,4 dioxane, the Village is currently performing wellhead treatments on six village-owned wells.

At its October 21 meeting, the Board of Trustees approved several agreements with engineering consultants H2M Architects + Engineers, based in Melville, related to construction on these wells. The firm will be preparing grant applications on behalf of the Village for four treatment projects, with each grant proposal having a deadline of November 22, 2021.

For preparing each of the four project’s grant applications H2M’s fee will be $3,000 each. Once H2M prepares each grant application, Village Attorney Peter Bee’s firm will review them prior to submission.

Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi explained “New York State opened up this second round of grant funding under the See page 41

be cancelled last year due to the pandemic.

Garden City Library Director Marianne Malagon said there will not be food or beverage inside during Meet the Veterans inside Garden City Public Library, and attendees should note that there is no mask requirement at the GCPL at this time.

Former Village Mayor

Dozens of residents joined last week’s Environmental Advisory Board (“EAB”) meeting in person and by Zoom to learn more about why so many communities are placing restrictions on Gas Powered Leaf Blowers (“GPLBs”). The question before the EAB is whether it is time to recommend Garden City place restrictions on GPLBs. The meeting opened with an introduction of the eight member EAB and the two high school representatives. The chair of the EAB,

A WORD FROM THE PUBLISHER

Great role model

Congratulations to all of the Garden City High School sports teams who have completed their fall seasons. This year’s teams have been extraordinary, with many of them heading to championship playoff games.

The varsity football team, in particular, has been doing spectacularly this year, with points scored record of 347-20.

After a blowout game on October 23rd against MacArthur, which ended in a score of 49-6, league officials issued a warning to Garden City Coach Dave Ettinger. According to the officials, Ettinger violated a sportsmanship rule designed to avoid excessively lopsided scores.

We don’t really agree that such a rule should be necessary at the high

school varsity level. High school players should be allowed to play their best games. However, the rules are the rules, and as such everyone has agreed to abide by them.

The officials could have imposed a one game suspension on Ettinger, but instead chose to issue the warning.

This week we have learned that Ettinger not only accepted the warning, but also voluntarily sat out Saturday’s game because he felt he should set a good example for the team. (The boys still won 34-0 even without his leadership.)

We don’t personally know Ettinger, but we are very impressed with his willingness to act as a role model to the kids.

Well done, Dave.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Email: Editor@GCNews.com

Meaningful letter

To the Editor: I have lived in Garden City since 1961 and was an elementary school teacher in GC for over 50 years. I was deeply moved by Katie Roland’s letter to the editor in the October 29 issue of the Garden City News, which voiced her support of a diversity, equity, and inclusion curriculum in our schools.

I always promoted acceptance of differences among the children in my classrooms and I am happy that there are new materials and training available to help teachers create a classroom environment that discourages prejudice and promotes kindness. I appreciate Katie’s well-written and meaningful comments.

Anna Lea Smith

Where is the outrage now?

To the Editor: The October 29th edition of Garden City News has brought us two more examples of the duplicity used to trick over 800 good Garden City residents into rejecting the experienced and known candidates for a slate of uninformed, inexperienced and unknown people to be village trustees.

One charge, repeatedly put forth by one of the insurgent group members was that the village was over extended in its reliance on bonding to finance projects and that our future debt would soar and our bond rating could be put in jeopardy. Another pledge from this group was that they were critical of the use of no-bid contracts. So, in order to have a better Garden City they would eliminate the use of no-bid contracts.

At the Thursday October 21st meeting of the village trustees both of these positions were boldly violated simultaneously.

To justify the need to get around the mandate to solicit bids for the work deemed necessary at fire station #2, (Edgemere Firehouse) an emergency was declared. It is an established fact that the condition of this building has been known for a number of years. Most or all of the problems with the build-

ing could have, or should have been addressed in a routine way from the first recognition of them. To declare an emergency now, in my opinion is a ruse meant to get a particular contractor to do the work without having to compete. If proper planning and a diligent review of the maintenance needs of the firehouse had been taken into account, funds would have been allocated in the current budget, to get the needed repairs done without resorting to bonding. In fact, the passage of the current budget was delayed up to the deadline so that the new administration could review it. Of course, the five newly elected trustees, having no knowledge or experience in municipal finance or planning were not up to the job.

Distraction at polls

To the Editor: I’m writing to express my great concern about the situation which was allowed to take place during Early Voting on October 23. Simultaneous to the voting was a deafening Irish Dance Event. One could barely talk to the poll representatives yet alone concentrate on filling out the ballot!

I am very saddened that Garden City as well as the Board of Elections find this acceptable. In a phone conversation with a rep from the GC Rec. Dept. I was told that the BOE knows about other events in advance.

I am a psychologist who routinely evaluates individuals’ ability to focus or concentrate on the work at hand.

This event was to me a clear impediment to a fair voting situation Alice Zieher, PhD

Clean up time

Fall is here and the St. Joseph's Sponsor A Family Program for Thanksgiving needs your support. As the COVID pandemic continues, the program has changed. Fortunately, last year's virtual drive involving the collection of Stop and Shop gift cards was very successful. So, the program is continuing on that path for Thanksgiving 2021.

The goal remains the same: to provide assistance to neighbors at Our Lady of Loretto in Hempstead and Queen of the Most Holy Rosary in Roosevelt who are faced with food insecurities. Sponsor a Family will evenly disperse your gift card donations to each parish and they will distribute the cards to their families on a “need be” basis.

If you would like to participate, please email Eileen Hoey at eileenbhoey@gmail.com and let her know what size family you would like to sponsor.

Suggested dollar amounts for S & S gift cards will be provided to you based on the family size you select. You will also receive detailed instructions for mailing OR delivering your gift cards to the Parish Social Ministry Office on Fifth Street. The delivery deadline Is November 15. If you have any questions prior to signing up, please contact Pat DiMattia at dimattiared@aol. com. Thanks to all of you in advance, especially to the faithful sponsors who support this program every year.

Sanitation collections

The Village of Garden City reminds residents that sanitation collections will be normal during the week of Veterans Day.

Some of the administrators got involved initially as parents, helping their child’s teacher on special days, seeing how the school worked, wanting to get more involved and eventually joining the school officially - a testament to the school’s mission.

On October 1, the Garden City Nursery School (GCNS) held its annual Fall Cocktail fundraiser.

Over 100 parents representing each of the three programs offered (Play Group for 2-year-olds, Nursery for 3-year-olds, and Pre-K for 4-yearolds) gathered at the school to contribute to the school financially as well as build relationships among themselves and with the faculty.

To those who know the school, this is no surprise. GCNS is unusual in that it is run as a cooperative.

Parents join teachers and administrators in helping run the programs, whether it be through maintenance days cleaning up the grounds and classrooms, assisting their child’s class on “special days,” or helping

a net loss of approximately $400,000 while the Water and Tennis Funds did have favorable overall surpluses at the end of the year.

For the first Quarter of 2021-22, revenues are in line when compared to the same period in the prior year. There are increases in Police/ Court revenues from tickets issues, as well as Recreation Department revenues. This past summer, the Pool saw a significant increase in revenues year over year. Although this year’s budget is conservative, revenues received this first Quarter have exceeded expectations. According to Ms. Woo, the Pool Fund is expected to recoup losses it saw last year. Both the Tennis and Water Funds continue to do well.

For the first Quarter of 2021-22, expenditures are lower when compared to last year, partially due to the cost of Tropical Storm Isaias cleanup. Further, expenditures for the Pool and Tennis Funds are in line with expectations.

Treasurer’s Report

Village Treasurer Irene Woo presented the Treasurer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2020-21 and Q1 for Fiscal Year 2021-22 during the October 21, 2021 Board of Trustees meeting. This is a continuation of the summary that began in last week’s column.

In essence, Ms. Woo confirmed the financial health of village is in good shape.

In the 2020-21 Fiscal Year, the Pool Enterprise Fund saw a significant revenue loss due to summer 2020 COVID-related factors, including a delayed opening and attendance restrictions. As a result, membership revenues were impacted, and numerous programs were cancelled, including swim teams and lessons.

Revenues came in $961,000 less than budgeted. The Tennis Enterprise Fund came in $43,000 higher than budgeted, mostly due to deferred revenues from the prior Quarter.

The Tennis Bubble closed in March 2020 and reopened in mid-July.

Water Enterprise Fund revenues increased, mostly because of premiums on securities from the issuance of BANs (approximately $1.2 million) for Village Water Well Treatment projects.

General Fund expenditures were lower across all Departments due to less activities as a result of COVID; open positions and delayed hiring positions, which resulted in less salaries and benefits paid; less judgements and claims, and less legal fees. Unused contingency was also a factor. The Enterprise Funds saw lower expenditures as well. The Pool, although it had less expenditures than anticipated, ended the year with

Overtime

Trustees track Village-wide overtime and discuss the topic during every annual budget process.

Village-wide overtime increased in the 2020-21 Fiscal Year although it was less than budgeted mostly due to Tropical Storm Isaias. That storm generated much overtime in the Public Works and Recreations and Parks Departments. While these Departments saw an increase in overtime year over year, the Police Department accrued less overtime due to cancelled events due to COVID. For the first Quarter of 202122, overtime totaled $450,000, compared to $535,000 in the prior year.

The

Kordes

K orner

John Ellis Kordes This is an architectural rendering from 2008 of how the St. Paul’s building could look after being restored.

Someone recently said to me that the rendering looked so different.

I explained to this person that the building was “cleaned up” in the rendering. The building is 140 years old and is filthy having never been cleaned. If there was color film in 1883 this is what the building looked like color-wise. The red brick was complemented by white Dorchester stone around the windows and other trim making it really stand out.

The school closed in 1991 and the Village purchased the building and the surrounding fields in 1993 (48 acres altogether). Since then the fields have become the greatest recreational addition to our Village since the pool opened in 1957. However, the historic 1883 building remains an unanswered quandary.

Recently, I was at the St. Paul’s field on a weekend day standing just off Rockaway Avenue looking west.

As far as my eyes could see there were thousands of children playing sports with their parents there. It was a beautiful sight seeing all those families. Then I looked to my left and saw the St. Paul’s building decomposing behind a fence. Then I looked back at the children playing and then back again at St. Paul’s. The contrast really struck me and I had an epiphany.

I began to remember how I worked at St. Paul’s School during its last three years as their school photographer. I remember how I assisted the parents when they sued the Cathedral for closing the school. I remember working with the Village in purchasing the property. I gave tours of the school building and my photography was used in the newspapers and Village Hall to help convince the residents it was the right thing to do. I worked with the Mayor’s committee

in the mid 1990s on finding a use for the building and “assisted living” was the answer and I traveled to Connecticut with the trustees to look at various facilities. When that didn’t work out, I later assisted the company looking to put apartments there.

Then that didn’t work out. All the while I was writing countless articles in the local newspapers about how important this building was and that it must find a new life. I also featured it in my book “Visions of Garden City” and my documentary film “A.T. Stewart’s Garden City.” I really did believe that somehow, some way this building would indeed have a new life in the 21st Century in the heart of Garden City.

The epiphany came that day as I walked around the building that I was once so involved with and realized it no longer has a future - only a past.

Thirty years is a long time and opportunity after opportunity to give the building a future have come and gone. I always believed it would be outside money invested there that would save it and not our taxes. There are those people who keep saying no to each opportunity. I recently spoke to someone like that who has only lived here a short time but is now “involved” somehow and he told me we need to raise everyone’s taxes a

couple of thousand dollars a year and then increase it each year thereafter to restore it. WHAT?! No thank you! Even after he said that he still could not tell me for what. There’s the point. There doesn’t seem to be a need for anything - other than saving the building. It just seems we have been trying to put a square peg in a round hole - nothing seems to fit. The Village really has painted itself into a corner with the St. Paul’s building. As far as spending 75 to 100 million dollars (or more!) for some vague thing we don’t need, lacks common sense (not to mention the maintenance on the building in the future). St. Paul’s could become a huge money pit.

Beware of people who do not think you are taxed enough and those with “good intentions” who want to raise your taxes. They are so naive that they are actually dangerous.

Look, I’m a “car guy.” I love restored old cars and enjoy going to car shows. When you restore an old car you don’t first leave it out in the rain for 30 years until it’s a rusty shell and THEN try and restore it.

That wouldn’t make sense - would it? Well, what has been done through neglect to the St. Paul’s building is disgraceful and we are left with the result - a failure on an epic scale.

That day as I walked around the St.

Paul’s building I began to think about Garden City’s founder A.T. Stewart as the building was built in his memory. What would Stewart do? Well, I have done more research on this man than just about anyone and I can tell you he would not be pleased with this situation. He would be quite aware that in Europe they revere their antiquities over thousands of years.

However, he would also realize the United States is not Europe and is less than 250 years old and simply doesn’t. Although built in his memory by his wife Cornelia, he would be quick to point out the condition of the building is an embarrassment and dishonors his memory. He was a brilliant businessman and would ask what is the purpose of holding onto the building in this condition?

He would point out it has had its time and now it must be removed. He had little patience for sentimentalities when it came to practical business matters. He was a visionary man and would be looking toward the future, not the past.

I know this is blasphemy to many of you especially coming from me.

I also know that no one wanted this building saved more than me.

However, I am a realist and we have to face the fact that this can’t go on indefinitely. I always felt we owed it to the past to save the building but, considering the last 30 years, I now feel we owe it to the future to remove the building. Perhaps the clock tower could be saved as a reminder of what was once there.

I truly believe as long as there is a Garden City, children will come and play on the St. Paul’s fields. Hopefully future generations will not have the spectacle of a decomposing building behind a hideous fence when they arrive there. It’s time to pull the plug - despite how much it breaks our hearts.

Author Alice Hoffman.

New York Times bestselling author Alice Hoffman will discuss her new novel, “The Book of Magic,” the final chapter of the “Practical Magic” series, at Adelphi University on Wednesday, November 17.

The online event, part of the University’s “Great Books, Great Conversations” series, will be hosted by Jacqueline Jones LaMon, professor and vice president of diversity, equity and inclusion at Adelphi, and Sybile Val,

MD, a 1999 Adelphi graduate.

Hoffman, a 1973 graduate and 2002 honorary doctorate recipient of Adelphi, lives near Boston and is the author of more than 30 works of fiction, including “The World That We Knew,” “The Marriage of Opposites,” “The Red Garden,” “The Museum of Extraordinary Things,” “The Dovekeepers," “Here on Earth” (Oprah’s Book Club selection) along with the series, “Practical Magic,” “Magic Lessons,” “The Rules of Magic” (a selection of Reese’s Book Club) and “The Book of Magic."

Released in October 2021, “The Book of Magic” concludes the story of the Owens family, who has been cursed in matters of love for more than 300 years -though all of that is about to change. The novel begins in a library, when beloved aunt Jet Owens hears the deathwatch beetle and knows she has only seven days to live. Jet is not the only one in danger-the curse is already at work. A frantic attempt to save a young man’s life spurs three generations of the Owens women and one longlost brother to use their unusual gifts to break the curse as they travel from Paris to London to the English countryside where their ancestor Maria Owens first practiced the “unnamed art.” See more about “The Book of Magic.”

“Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption”

by Laura Hillenbrand - The book tells the story of airman Louis Zamperini, who was shot down over the Pacific during

World War II and survived on a raft until he was taken prisoner by the Japanese.

“Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10”

News From the Children’s Room Daylight Saving Time

Daylight Saving Time (DST) is the practice of moving the clocks forward one hour from Standard Time during the summer months and changing them back again in the fall. The general idea is that this allows us all to make better use of natural daylight: moving the clocks forward one hour in the spring grants us more daylight during summer evenings, while moving clocks back one hour in the fall grants us more daylight during winter mornings.

This year Daylight Saving Time ends on Sunday, November 7, at 2:00 a.m. At this time, clocks will “fall back” one hour, giving us more daylight in the dark autumn and winter mornings.

The first true proponent of Daylight Saving Time was an Englishman named William Willet. A London builder, he conceived the idea while riding his horse early one morning in 1907. He noticed that the shutters of houses were tightly closed even though the sun had risen. In “The Waste of Daylight,” the manifesto of his personal light-saving campaign, Willet wrote, “Everyone appreciates the long, light evenings. Everyone laments their shrinkage as the days grow shorter; and nearly everyone has given utterance to a regret that the nearly clear, bright light of an early morning during Spring and Summer months is so seldom seen or used… . That so many as 210 hours of daylight are, to all intents and purposes, wasted every year is a defect in our civilization. Let England recognise and remedy it.” https://www.almanac.com/content/ when-daylight-saving-time

Veterans Day

Veterans Day is a time for us to pay our respects to those who have served in a branch of the Armed Forces. For one day, we stand united in respect for our veterans.

This holiday started as a day to reflect upon the heroism of those who died in our

country's service and was originally called Armistice Day. It fell on Nov. 11 because that is the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that ended World War I. However, in 1954, the holiday was changed to "Veterans Day" in order to account for all veterans in all wars. When first celebrated as Armistice Day, the day marked the end of World War I, formally recognized on the “11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month” in 1918.

Today we continue to celebrate the day as Veterans Day, still recognizing the original tie with November 11. That means Veterans Day is on the same day every year -- November 11 -- regardless of which day of the week it falls. https://www.military.com/veterans-day

Friends of the Library “Not to be Missed” Book Sale

The Friends of the Library will hold its semi-annual book sale on Saturday, November 6 and Sunday, November 7.

This is the big one! The one that you have been dreaming about for the last two years! With one entire room just dedicated to books for children and young adults - a teacher’s, grandmother’s or parent’s dream come true! And a second room offer-

ing over 30 different categories of books for sale at unbelievably low prices.

On Saturday, November 6, between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and on Sunday, November 7

from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., the Friends of the Garden City Public Library will be holding its Semi-annual Book Sale on the Library’s lower level. It is a time-honored tradition in the Village that has been going on for over forty years.

Sure, the Pop-Up Book Sales over the summer and early fall were great!

And you turned out and supported them in outstanding fashion. But they were only meant to whet your appetite for the “Granddaddy of Book Sales!” So big that it needs the lower lever of the Garden City Library to stage it.

The categories – too many to mention! But we will give it a try anyway – Animals, Art, Architecture, Automotive, Adult Soft Covered Fiction, Autobiographies - and that just covers the A List.

Need additional reasons to convince you to come?

First - the prices are beyond belief.

Ninety percent of the books are priced at $1 or less.

Second - on sale will be a very large variety of recently published best sellers, in pristine condition, that might be the answer to that large Christmas List dilemma that you face. Beautiful items, designed specifically for the Friends - tote

bags and Christmas tree ornaments - will also be available for purchase.

Third – the selection of children’s books has never been so all encompassing. Little Princesses, Dinosaur fanatics, Tiny Train enthusiasts, Future Kids Food Network Superstars, Animal aficionados, Soccer, Baseball, Football and Hockey Pros-in-Training are special categories that will be ready for purchase.

Fourth – Virtually every penny raised is translated into Museum Passes and Library Programs for Children, Young Adults and Adults.

So, if your teenagers loved the spectacular Library Halloween Party last Friday, books and baked goods purchased through the Friends allowed it to happen. If your little ones were out in front of the library dancing and excitedly catching bubbles last week, that program, Play Hooray, as well as programs presented by A Time for Kids, Inc. and High Hopes Productions were also brought to you by the Friends fundraising.

This semi-annual tradition of a November and May Book Sale has been going on for over forty-five years and the Friends of the Garden City Library are so very appreciative of your continued support.

These skills include such things as: • climbing stairs • getting up and down from a chair without assistance • getting up and down from the floor • reaching overhead • picking things up from the floor Some of these things occur because folks go from house living to apartment living.

The continuing Trump dilemmas

BY BOB MORGAN, JR. This is written on election day, 2021, so I don’t know the outcome of the vote. But you don’t really have to know, for example, who won the tight gubernatorial race in Virginia, to see what an outsize role former President Donald Trump continues to have on both parties, and how he poses a dilemma for both Democrats and Republicans.

In September, California held a recall election deciding whether Democratic governor Gavin Newsom would continue to serve. For a while before the vote, it looked like the recall had a chance, in light of myriad problems and controversies in California, including high taxes, draconian lockdowns, frequent power outages and forest fires that seemingly can’t be controlled. However, once the leading challenger to Mr. Newsom emerged, columnist Larry Elder, Mr. Newsom was able to tie Mr. Elder to Mr. Trump and support for the recall and Mr. Elder diminished sharply. Mr. Newsom ended up surviving the recall vote easily, with 62 percent favoring the governor’s retention.

Of course, a strategy that worked for a Democratic governor in a deep blue state like California might not necessarily work in a considerably more conservative state like Virginia, where Democrats have become ascendant, but where Joe Biden won by 10 points in 2020, compared to a 29 point margin in California.

The Democratic gubernatorial candidate in Virginia, Terry McAuliffe, went all Trump, all the time in his race against Republican Glenn Younkin, who actually distanced himself somewhat from the former president, by not allowing Mr. Trump to appear at any of his campaign rallies. Mr. McAuliffe, however, labeled his opponent “Trumpkin”, and by the count of a New York Times reporter, managed to use Mr. Trump’s name 13 times in a 15 minute campaign speech.

Unlike the situation in California, Mr. McAuliffe’s linkage of his opponent to Donald Trump does not seem to have been a particularly successful strategy, given the closeness of the race in a state where Republicans

have not won a statewide election since 2009. Voters seemed much more interested in issues like education, where Mr. McAuliffe made some serious gaffes, and where some likely were registering their discontent with the performance of President Biden, whose job approval ratings in Virginia are negative.

But if the McAuliffe strategy may be a cautionary note to Democrats thinking about focusing most of their campaign energy on attacking Mr. Trump, even as the California recall provides a counterpoint, Mr. Trump’s role poses even more of a dilemma for Republicans going forward into the 2022 election cycle.

In a mid-October Quinnipiac poll, Mr. Trump had an 86 percent favorable rating among Republicans, with 67 percent believing that he should definitely run again. On the other hand, overall public sentiment is far less favorable to Mr. Trump (Quinnipiac had him with a 39 percent favorable rating; another poll had just 47 percent believing he should run again.)

Republican candidates are thus put in a difficult position. If the candidate puts distance from Mr. Trump, there is a distinct risk of alienating base GOP voters. On the other hand, tying too closely to Mr. Trump, an unpopular figure among many voters, risks strong attacks from the opposition. In addition, Mr. Trump’s fixation with the fairness of the 2020 election, and his desire to get back at those who did not support his efforts to overturn the election, can be quite unhelpful to candidates eager to look forward rather than backward.

In the Virginia election, Glenn Youngkin attempted to thread the needle in dealing with the Trump dilemma, by focusing on his own race and state issues and basically ignoring Mr. Trump. He also found a social issue, parental involvement in their children’s education, that appealed to Mr. Trump’s base. But this will not always be easy to do and requires a great deal of message discipline. Mr. Trump remains enough of a force in politics that both Democrats and Republicans have to take him into account.

FCA acknowledged by Mineola Historical Society

Peter Burnside, Frances Mingoia and Tom Murta in front of the historical marker.

On Saturday, October 23rd the Mineola Historical Society held a formal historical plaque dedication highlighting the original site of The Children’s Home with a historical marker. The Children’s Home was the orphanage originally founded in 1884 which became Family and Children’s Association (FCA) a century later. FCA is currently located in its new headquarters at 377 Oak Street in Garden City.

Garden City resident and FCA Development Coordinator Frances Mingoia represented FCA at last week’s dedication which took place at the original site of the orphanage at Copley Court in Mineola. FCA was thanked for providing the Historical Society access to the ample archives of The Children’s Home that date back to the 1880s. The nonprofit was also acknowledged for providing numerous human and social services and aiding the struggling children, families, seniors and communities on Long Island for the past 137 years.

Lastly, the deputy mayor of the Village Mineola, Paul Pereira, noted how the donation of land in 1950 from the board of the Children’s Home to the Village of

Mineola has impacted multiple generations of children in the community.

Tom Murta, the president of the Mineola Historical Society, opened the ceremony by thanking everyone gathered that morning as they unveiled the historical marker offering a window into the past. He thanked those in attendance who have helped keep history alive in Mineola. Vice President Peter Burnside added how big of a step the services of the orphanage had been in making strides in the improvement of the welfare of orphaned and impoverished children on Long Island.

Deputy Mayor Paul Pereira praised the Historical Society and FCA’s efforts in promoting local history. Frances Mingoia has been a guest speaker at the Mineola Memorial Library and the Mineola Historical Society and has conducted presentations to celebrate and educate the public and FCA staff on the rich history of the philanthropic efforts of the Long Island families who founded The Children’s Home as well as the Long Island residents who have provided unwavering support over its long history.

Smiles and prayers at Garden City Community Church

BY MELVA VICTORINO Every Sunday, the Rev. Lynn Sullivan, Senior Pastor of Garden City Community Church (GCCC), greets everyone with an invitation, “Smile it’s Sunday!” It’s not only smiling that we do at GCCC, we pray first! The Epistle of Paul to the Philippians says, “Pray about everything.” Praying about everything seems like way too much to manage with limited time and energy, especially during this pandemic time and the coming holidays.

However, if we commit only ten minutes a day and to pray for a month, we will develop a habit that will make us observe for the rest of the year, for the rest of our lives. This is what we did at GCCC for the month of October. Rev. Lynn asked the members and friends of GCCC to take ten minutes a day to separate ourselves from the rest of the world in prayer following these simple steps: • Say the Lord’s Prayer • Talk to God from your heart • Read: a daily devotional or the Bible – our choice • Listen to God in silence • Repeat the Lord’s Prayer As simple as that! The practice of praying is as natural to most Christians and others of different faith practices, as breathing itself. Living out the guidance to pray for ten minutes seems not be enough time. BUT, with sincerity and simplicity, God will hear our prayers.

We know that our prayers were heard because we feel it, and it to makes us start to smile. The key is to Pray, Wait, Trust, and we will hear the whisper of God. At GCCC, you can tell that God is Still Speaking to us because after our prayers, WE SMILE! There are many reasons for GCCC to smile, such as our worship services, programs, events, classes for adults, youth and the children, community services and our fellowship with each other. For the month of November and the beginning of Advent season, we offer the following to give us reasons to smile: • November 6: American Fair from 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. Free admission: Silent Auction, Antiques and Collectibles, Jewelry, Holiday Gifts, China, Silver, Frames, Pictures, Toys, Shabby/Chic Boutiques, Gourmet Food, Bistro, and more.

• November 10 at 8:00 p.m.: Peg Mainusch will share her Faith Journey through Faith, Music, and Life. via Zoom • November 17 at 8:00 p.m.: Mary Dewar will be presenting a forum discussion on Understanding our Circadian Rhythm and the physical, mental, and behavioral changes that follow a 24-hour sleep-wake cycle via Zoom • November 24 at 8:00 p.m.: Thanksgiving Eve Service via live-stream • Intercessory Prayer Service every Tuesday at 9:30 a.m.

• Confirmation Class 1 on Mondays at 7:30 p.m.

• Confirmation Class 2 on

The Rev. Lynn Sullivan, Senior Pastor of GCCC. Tuesdays at 7:30 p.m.

November 28th is Advent Sunday with the theme, “The Fullness of Time.” There are Advent opportunities to celebrate as we wait for the coming of the Jesus, the Messiah.

The Rev. Lynn Sullivan will lead the Advent Studies and connect them to her Sabbatical.

• December 1: Week one - Waiting and Planning: Advent is a time of waiting and a time of planning. We will look at the scriptures of people who learned to wait and discover times in our own lives that we too were in a period of waiting.

• December 8: Week two Solitude and Meditation : Advent, like Lent is a time of meditation and prayer.

We will discover ways we too can find solitude, even in the busiest time of the year.

• December 15: Week three – Reunions: Bethlehem was teeming with people returning home for the census. We can find this time of the year, reuniting with our loved ones, a sacred time of blessings and challenges.

There are many Advent opportunities to celebrate as we wait for the coming

of the Jesus, the Messiah. To celebrate Advent with us and to prepare for the real meaning of Christmas, we share with others the blessings we have. GCCC is collecting Thanksgiving Fixin’ Bags filled with specified holiday side dishes for the guests of the INN (Interfaith Nutrition Network.) The tradition of loading up the mitten tree lives on with contribution of new hats, mittens, gloves, scarves and socks also to be donated to the guests of the INN. Every year we continue to collect and deliver gifts to the children at La Nueva Vida Presbyterian Church. We also collect gifts for the children of mothers at the Bedford Hills Correctional Facility. This year, they anticipate over 200 mothers will select gifts for over 500 children, as well as providing gifts to correctional facilities across New York State. This ministry make it possible for many more incarcerated parents can give gifts to their children during the holidays.

Both of these ministries have been in the hearts of the GCCC members for more than 25 years.

GCCC also supports the Christmas Fund, one of the United Church of Christ Special Missions that helps provide pen-

sion and health premium supplementation to low-income retired church pastors and workers, emergency assistance to clergy families in need, and Christmas checks to hundreds of annuitants, as administered by the Pension Boards.

When you see folks around Garden City, and you see them smiling, you will know they are from the Garden City Community Church. You will know us by our SMILES. To learn more how you can join GCCC and learn to smile all the time, visit our website at www.theGCCC.org or call 516-7401700. Our website will give information on how to participate in our church life, virtually or in-person. The Garden City Community Church is part of the United Church of Christ and is an Open and Affirming (ONA) congregation that welcomes people of all ages, races, gender identities, and sexual orientations to participate in the life of our community. Garden City Community Church is located at 245 Stewart Avenue between Whitehall Blvd. and Kensington Road. Our website is www.thegccc.org, email churchoffice@thegccc.org or call (516) 746-1700.

Mary Garry-Thomson and Thomas Thomson

Mary and Thomas Thomson Mary Garry- Thomson 12/12/1952 - 10/15/2021 Thomas Thomson 3/16/ 1946 - 5/29/2021 Mary Garry-Thomson and Thomas Thomson, who were devoted in life to each other, passed away within five months of each other this year.

Married at St Anne’s in Garden City on November 5, 1983, Mary and Tom’s rich life together took them from Long Island to Scottsdale, Arizona to Tampa, Florida. Tom died suddenly on May 29 of this year of a heart attack. Mary struggled with medical setbacks after Tom’s death and ultimately suffered two strokes after surgery for a hip she broke in a fall in late August. Mary lost her battle on October 15, 2021.

Mary and Tom were an inspirational couple. Both faced with great physical challenges they took care of each other to the end. Tom, a disabled US military veteran from the Vietnam War, suffered from Addison’s Disease, ALD and a heart condition. Mary fought advanced Rheumatoid Arthritis which stuck in her thirties. Neither Mary nor Tom knew how to give in to their conditions and chose to live their lives to the fullest. Their individual challenges aside, no occasion for a friend or relative was missed no matter the location.

Tom grew up in Glen Head NY with his sister, Liz O’Keefe, who predeceased him. He graduated from North Shore High School in 1964.

Mary grew up in Garden City, the youngest of five. Mary was the beloved sister of the Rev. Peter Garry, Trish Schenck (Charles), Margaret Dueker (Bill) and Bill (Barbara). A 1971 graduate of Garden City High School, Mary attended Dayton University and Northern Arizona University.

Mary and Tom both enjoyed successful business careers. Mary spent many years in the Mortgage Banking business and enjoyed success in Insurance Sales later in life. Tom was an entrepreneur in Scottsdale and realized his dream of owning a New York style deli as well as working in banking later. Mary and Tom both embraced volunteerism – Mary serving her Catholic faith teaching CCD to developmentally challenged adults and Tom as a hospital volunteer.

Mary and Tom’s ten nieces and nephews will never forget the hilarious cards, the quirky gifts, and the truly sketchy road trips they grew up with that defined Aunt Mary & Uncle Tom’s presence in their lives. Their niece, Jennifer O’Keefe Mahoney especially as well as her husband, John, and their children Ava and Colin will always cherish “Nana and PopPop”. Mary and Tom’s legions of friends and classmates will miss them greatly.

On Thursday, November 11, 2021 at 11:30 AM, a Mass of Resurrection will be held for both Mary Garry-Thomson and Thomas Thomson at St Anne’s Church in Garden City, where it all began.

Tom had ALD, which is a genetic mutation called Adrenoleukodystrphy, that left him unable to walk later in his life. Donations in their memory can be made to Massachusetts General Hospital. Checks can be mailed to: Massachusetts General Hospital, Development Office, Attn: A. Van Strien, 125 Nashua Street Suite 540, Boston, MA 02114 Memo: Dr. Florian Eichler, IMO Tom & Mary Thomson. Non-Profit Tax ID is 04-1564655

Hemlock students visit Crossroads Farm

Hemlock students get ready for a ride.

The field trip taught students about about seeds and how they travel.

Garden City’s Hemlock School students have been enjoying field trips to Crossroads Farm in Malverne thanks to a longstanding partnership. Each first grade class visits the farm, where they learn about seeds and how they can travel.

The connection was established approximately seven ago, when a Garden City resident who volunteers at the farm helped Principal Audrey

Bellovin design Hemlock’s garden.

During the trips, students create art project that portray seed travels, hear a story about the legend of Johnny Appleseed, tour the farm and learn about different plants and seeds. As a highlight, classes even get to take some sample seeds home to plant in their flourishing school garden, which they continue to help maintain and harvest.

German students make connections through program Garden City High School students in Frau Rupes’ grade 9 and 10 German classes participated in Meet-aGerman. This opportunity is presented by Fulbright Germany in cooperation with the American Association of Teachers of German (AATG) as part of the Wunderbar Together program that celebrates GermanAmerican connection. This year, the initiative was also a main feature of the Fulbright Day they hosted on Oct. 6 in honor of the 75th anniversary of the global Fulbright Program.

Meet-a-German offers American schools the wonderful opportunity to have a native speaker (or someone with first-hand experience of German culture) join their classroom for one lesson. It also provides speak-

ers with the chance to contribute to international understanding. This year around 7.000 students at nearly 200 schools in over 45 US states “meet a German” in October.

The Garden City High School students got to speak virtually with Emilie from Frankfurt, Germany, and had the opportunity to hear her firsthand account of what life is like in Germany. They also learned about some German geography and completed some German interactive games with the guest from Frankfurt.

A fun and interactive time was had by all participants. Many students even expressed interest in traveling to Frankfurt, Germany.

GCHS German students connected with a student in Frankfurt during a special program.

ENL teachers host event for parents Garden City Public Schools educators hosted an informational meeting for parents about the high school’s English as a New Language program on Oct. 20.

Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction Dr. Edward Cannone welcomed the guests and introduced two former ENL students, who discussed their experience in the program. They shared how it helped them become proficient in English and gain confidence. In addition, several multilingual students acted as liaisons and translators for any non-English speaking parents at the event.

Organized by teacher Toni Gutierrez, the event was designed to provide parents with information and advice on how to assist their students.

Employee ID Badges

The Board of Trustees is considering the adoption of a policy in which all Village employees, excluding sworn members of the Police Department, shall be issued an Inc. Village of Garden City identification badge. As a vital part of the Village’s security system, the ID badge shall be issued to each employee upon hiring and subsequent time(s) as may be necessary (e.g., transfer to a new department, lost card, etc.), and

such badge shall contain the employee’s name, photo, and department.

Employees are required to always wear badges where visible while working and/or when conducting any official business on behalf of the Village. This will assist the public in identifying a true Village employee in dealings in an office or out on the street. If an individual approaches a resident, the resident should feel confident to request to see their ID if not already visible. If the individual does not produce an ID when requested, please contact the Village at 516-465-4051.

Village Municipal Service Yard

The Village Municipal Service Yard was established a number of years ago for the convenience of Village residents.

Leaf Pick Up

Leaves are falling late this year due to the warmer temperatures. The Department of Public Works does have a truck out collecting spot piles. Crews expect to be at full force in approximately two weeks, depending on what falls. Residents are reminded that they and/or their landscapers must only discard leaves; no sticks, branches, flower pots or flowers. This other debris, when mixed with leaves, does at times damage the machine’s impellor, which creates down time for repairs.

Veterans Day

William Bradford Turner Post No. 265, American Legion will conduct a Veterans Day ceremony on Veterans Day, Thursday, November 11, 2021, in the area surrounding the Veterans Memorial at the Library on Seventh Street.

Change Your Clocks, Change Your Batteries

Sunday, November 7, 2021 marks the end of Daylight Saving Time, and while modern technology has made it such that we don’t need to turn back every clock in the house, you should change the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. If you don’t have a smoke and carbon monoxide detector, GET ONE! The Garden City Fire Department recommends you change the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors when you change the clocks during “Daylight Saving Time” to ensure they get changed at least twice a year. Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms are life saving devices. Having

working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms dramatically increases your chance of survival from a fire or carbon monoxide emergency.

At the end of 2015, Governor Andrew Cuomo signed a bill into law that required all smoke alarms sold in New York State to be equipped with sealedin, non-removable batteries that last for at least 10 years. The new law took effect in 2019 and marks an important step in improving New York’s fire safety. Tenyear smoke alarms require little maintenance, and unlike alarms with removable batteries, they are nearly impossible to deactivate. Regardless of the type of alarm in one’s home, the Garden City Fire Department recommends cleaning all alarms to remove any debris that might impede their function and to test the batteries, changing them if necessary.

Fires and carbon monoxide emergencies are real and very scary. A working smoke detector works around the clock and alerts you and your loved ones to a fire or carbon monoxide emergency even while you are asleep. When the alarm sounds, you should “Get Out & Stay Out” then call 911 or 742-3300 and advise the Garden City Fire Department dispatcher of the problem. As a reminder: Smoke Alarms should be installed: • Outside each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms • In each sleeping room • On each additional story of the dwelling, including basements but not including crawl spaces and uninhabitable attics Carbon Monoxide Detectors should be installed: • Within each dwelling unit or sleeping unit, on each story having a sleeping area • Within each dwelling unit or sleeping unit, on each story where a carbon monoxide source is located For more information about smoke detectors, visit the National Fire Protection Association at https://www. nfpa.org/smokealarms.

Is it time for Garden City to restrict gas-powered leaf blowers?

From page 1 Trustee Mary Carter Flanagan, shared with the group details of twenty three communities in the New York area that have placed restrictions on gas powered leaf blowers. The communities include North Hempstead, Summit NJ, Bronxville, Rye, Mamaronack, Larchmont, and Greenwich CT, among others. The list emphasized the number of communities that have been addressing the issue and highlighted the different approaches municipalities have taken based on community input. It was noted that the vast majority of communities have chosen summertime bans which do not impact spring clean up or the fall leaf clean up.

Dr. Bonnie Sager, co-founder of Huntington C.A.L.M., joined the group to answer questions about why so many communities are taking action.

Dr. Sager, a well-known advocate for restrictions on GPLBs, shared how she was drawn to advocating for legislation in this area along with pediatrician Dr. Lucy Weinstein. It was their shared concerns about the impact of GPLBs on the health of their patients as an eye doctor and a pediatrician. Dr. Sager spoke about the pollution caused by the two stroke engines used in GPLBs, the health and environmental impact of these emissions, as well as the pollution caused by stirring up particulate matter on the ground. The most vulnerable populations impacted by the pollution are children, the elderly, people with asthma or other lung conditions, and the workers who are directly exposed all day in the fumes. Dr. Sager noted that

the American Academy of Pediatrics has come out in support of banning GPLBs. Dr. Sager then addressed the noise pollution issue which many residents have been concerned about, and the health impact of noise pollution.

Residents had questions for Dr. Sager, and a robust discussion followed among members of the community on the issue of regulating GPLBs. Comments included questioning why Garden City has not done anything yet on this issue when so many other communities have.

Residents also raised concerns about how the landscapers would be able to clear the leaves without GPLBs, the alternatives, and the financial implications on landscaping businesses and residents if a ban was implemented.

One resident asked why four stroke engines weren’t being considered as an alternative to two stroke engines since they do not pollute as much. Whether the battery operated equipment could actually be as effective as the GPLBs was discussed, and many voiced skepticism about battery operated equipment being powerful enough for leaf clean up during the fall. In pushing for action by the village, one resident stated that we all have to remember why we moved here, and she mentioned that when she comes home to Garden City she finds it to be louder here than it is in the City when the gas powered leaf bowers are on her block. Residents who maintain their own lawns shared their experiences switching from gas to battery powered equipment, and two residents shared their experience using landscapers who do not use GPLBs. While resi-

Bonnie Ji, Mary Carter Flanagan, Molly Pretycki Fiedler, Kelly Smith, John Reilly, Laurence Quinn, Evelyn Fasano, Mary Grlic, Leo Stimmler. dents speculated that landscaping rates would go up, a resident who switched to a landscaper who uses all battery powered machinery reported no increase in her bills. Another resident who has family in Mamaroneck (where a seasonal ban has been in place) reported that his family did not see an increase in their landscaping costs. The health impact was raised as a reason to consider a complete year round ban on GPLBs. The EAB was pleased to see so many residents turn out to hear more about this topic and share their thoughts and concerns. Residents who were unable to make the presentation are encouraged to listen to the audio recording that is on the EAB page of the Village website and email any comments to the EAB through its chairperson at mcarterflanagan@gardencityny.net.

The EAB plans to continue getting input at

the next meeting on November 17th, and the input will be followed by a discussion by the EAB and a vote on the issue of whether a recommendation should be made to the BOT to place restrictions on GPLBs in our Village.

The EAB looks forward to continuing outreach to the community and is committed to advising the Trustees on matters affecting the environment. The EAB members Elizabeth Bailey, Evelyn Fasano, Molly Fiedler, John Manning, John Reilly, Kelly Smith, Leo Stimmler, and Laurence Quinn bring extensive experience in environmental matters and community service to the board.

They are working on upcoming presentations for residents on energy conservation in our homes, water quality and water conservation, and green gardening and native plants.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Email: Editor@GCNews.com From page 2 your television back to you until the next election cycle. No more candidates campaign mailings clogging mailboxes and weighing down our hard working postal employees. Finally, some peace and quiet!

Candidates who claimed they cared about the environment can now do their part. Winners and losers should have their paid campaign staff and volunteers pick up all the thousands of campaign signs that litter our roads and highways to help clean up this waste. They could also use left over campaign funds to hire homeless or unemployed people to collect this litter. Let some people with community service be assigned this task. If candidates refuse to clean up after themselves, the local Department of Highways or Public Works should do the job and send candidates the bill.

Exhibition of Miracles

To the Editor:

St. Joseph’s Parish here in Garden City invites all neighbors and friends to an Exhibition of Eucharistic Miracles.

Carlo Acutis was in most respects an ordinary, fun-loving Italian teenager who played soccer and enjoyed hiking in the outdoors with friends. But Carlo had another, deeper part of his personality. He was a computer and internet genius. Coming from a secularized and non-religious family, Carlo was nonetheless drawn at a very early age to the Eucharist and said “The Eucharist is my highway to heaven!” He conceived, researched, catalogued, and created an Exhibition of Eucharistic Miracles, well-over a hundred in number, from every corner of the world, down the centuries to the present day.

Carlo continued his work until he succumbed to fulminant leukemia at age fifteen. Come and view the extraordinary life’s work of young Carlo Acutis, created “Blessed Carlo Acutis” on October 20, 2020 in St. Joseph’s gym-

nasium on Fourth St.,the weekend of November 13, 3 to 7 pm and November 14, 8am to 7pm.

Eagle Scout Project

To The Editor: My name is Nicholas Mierzejewski, I am working towards my Eagle Rank in Troop 243 which is sponsored by St. Joseph Church. I am currently working on my Eagle Scout Project and am writing to ask for your support.

My project will benefit Family & Children’s Association (FCA), a wonderful organization that is based out of Garden City that helps many children and teens throughout Long Island.

Specifically, my project will be at one of their teen shelters. Many of the teens that enter the long-term shelter are in need of a safe haven from various situations and often come with nothing but the clothes they are wearing. As part

of the shelter, they have a dedicated space that houses clothing donations.

During the pandemic, the shelter has been unable to keep up with organizing the bags of generous donations from the community. During the project we will organize the clothing by size and type and build new shelving and racks allowing the teens to easily find what they need during their transition to the long term, nurturing shelter where the teens get counseling, learn life skills, continue attending school and hold part time jobs in order to save money.

If you are able, please show your support for these Teens by donating to my Eagle Scout Project. All proceeds will be used towards supplies needed for the space. Checks can be made payable to Troop 243 and sent to Nicholas Mierzejewski at 188 Wetherill Road, Garden City, New York 11530.

Thank you very much for your support and consideration, Nicholas Mierzejewski

From page 1

Frank Tauches, Commander at American Legion Post #265, noted that this will be a momentous Veterans Day. The event in 2021 falls one month after the 20th anniversary of the start of the War on Terror, when U.S. troops deployed to Afghanistan in October 2001. Veterans Day this year is also 20 years after the 9/11 attacks, and four weeks prior to the 80th anniversary of the attack at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.

Tauches was excited to consider the return to normalcy which was fairly evident with the great turnout at the village’s Memorial Day ceremony on May 31, as residents turned out to commemorate the ultimate sacrifices made in military service to the nation.

“Veterans Day is especially significant this year following the ceremony we could not hold over the course of the last two years, including a commemoration event for the end of World War II in the village. I feel this Veterans Day represents a first event to come together and remember, post-pandemic hopefully, which would be as close as we can be to ceremonies held prior to Covid.

Our post has not missed a Memorial Day, a Veterans Day or a Wreaths Across America commemoration (each December) and we’ll hold this Veterans Day ceremony with our hopes of having a FULL Memorial Day recognition with services in May of 2022. We’re in

the midst of planning next spring’s full Memorial Day and we are so thankful for support from the Village of Garden City, as well as the support of all members of our community,” Tauches said.

He noted the losses, within the past two years, of four pillars of the William Bradford Turner American Legion Post #265, all veterans belonging to “The Greatest Generation.” Those deaths include two-time Commander of the William Bradford Turner Post Armand Trivilino, who passed away recently at age 89.

“The American Legion Post in Garden City was one of the first posts, period, and it’s truly a legacy. We marked our 100th anniversary during the pandemic but we are set on coming back with a very, very strong presence in Garden City as we always maintained,” Tauches explained.

He notes the recent announcement that beginning in new year 2022, the American Legion will be returning to weekly meetings every Wednesday evening at 7:00 p.m. at the Garden City Senior Recreation Center, 6 Golf Club Lane. The meetings are open meetings, and membership is not required.

“We’re working to help all U.S. military veterans and we want all veterans in our area to participate. They are all welcome to attend and participate. Our American Legion Post has tremendous ties to our youth, as all of the student recognitions and awards we gave out pre-pandemic continued to be given out.

Village seeking grants for water treatment systems From page 1 Water Infrastructure Improvement Act (WIIA). The village administration seeks Board authorization to apply for and obtain grants for the four projects.

The construction at Wells. No. 7, 13, 14, 15 and 16 have already begun and for Well No. 9 it’s being designed now.”

At Wells no. 7, 9, 13 and 14, and 15 and 16 (with the latter four grouped in pairs) the projects are titled “Wellhead Treatment for AOP Removal” under the Federal Clean Water Infrastructure Act for the purpose of dealing with emerging contaminants. AOP stands for Advanced Oxidation Process which uses the chemical reaction of oxidation for the remediation of contaminants including 1,4 dioxane previously detected in the village drinking water supply.

As noted by Mayor Cosmo Veneziale

in his weekly update column, H2M is studying reports from residents and businesses about any discolored water observed in village water. An email account has been set up for residents to send in their complaints and photographs: waterissues@gardencityny.net “Village Water Consultants at H2M who are collecting the information, obtaining water samples as needed and following up to help identify potential causes and solutions. H2M continues reviewing the complaints and performed a round of system-wide sampling. Representatives met with Village water operators and recommended a plan of action. H2M is reviewing the results from recommended and implemented pH modifications at the well sites. Increases in pH system-wide have been observed,” the village noted.

Even when Garden City High School had to cancel the awards night for last year, they invited the organization to send in the award and make a video. I presented each award individually, and that level of support remains important because our organization has not missed a beat on any of the awards and scholarships for the students. We are always ready to participate in the school awards from Stratford and Stewart as well as St. Anne’s and St. Joseph’s to Garden City Middle School and Garden City High School,” he said.

The August 26, 2021 tragedy of 13 U.S. service members killed in the attack at Kabul Airport in Afghanistan, which included 11 Marines, one Navy corpsman and one Army staff sergeant and the lives they were trying to protect adds another element to this year’s Veterans Day ceremony, Tauches said.

Until 1990 Tauches had a smaller role in the annual Memorial Day Parade, and his wife was at the forefront and his kids were in the GCHS band. Things changed 31 years ago.

“In 1990 I was elected a trustee, and then was invited to be the Grand Marshal of the Parade -- two weeks after being invited, I was promoted to Marine Colonel and then I was back on active duty after the invasion of Kuwait

by Iraq. I was assigned to the Pentagon on active duty. A year later I was the Commander of Troops for the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve in the National Victory Parade, where I was reunited

with the units I had commanded in the 1970s…..Years later in the village, pre-pandemic, I was able to march in the Parade as Commander of American Legion Post #265, which is an honor and a great responsibility,” Tauches said.

The Village of Garden City has worked to refurbish memorials including the Rainbow Division (42nd) Monument in the east, off Clinton Road and Saint James South. But according to Tauches some of the local sites are still not as well-known by residents.

He described four memorials at the St. Paul’s ‘center circle’ which are hidden by bushes. “It represents a memorial to all the former students of the St. Paul’s School that lost their lives in military service to the U.S.” he said.

He explained a need to educate more Garden City residents and young individuals about the history, traditions and commitment to the country and military service. As a member of the U.S. Marine Corps Association’s board of directors, and the organization’s president in 1993, Tauches noted the recent virtual meeting “recognizing the unknown soldiers that are buried, and their gravesites.”

For more information on the William Bradford Turner American Legion Post #265 and ways to get involved or contribute, call (516) 747-7471, or attend the Veterans Day ceremony, where poppies will be distributed by the Auxiliary unit, and the community will gather again to salute those who served,

GC alumna discusses career at NASA

As Garden City Middle School students plan science experiments with the goal of sending one to space in 2022, they received inspiring visits from NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center Public and Digital Engagement Specialist Laura Peterson on Oct. 13 and 14. Now a California resident, Ms. Peterson is a Garden City alumna who attended Hemlock, Stewart and the district’s middle and high schools.

Ms. Peterson visited seventh grade science, journalism and home and careers classes over the two days and described the Armstrong Flight Research Center mission, and some of the aircraft and major initiatives.

She discussed her role in the Strategic Communications office, which focuses on public affairs, social media, events, and exhibits. She also shared her recent experience at New York Comic Con, where she represented NASA and promoted its newly-released interactive graphic novel, “First Woman.”

Students learned that while the Armstrong facility focuses on aeronautics and NASA is renowned for its science and STEM-related opportunities, occupations encompass a wide range of other areas including the field of communications. They took the opportunity to ask Ms. Peterson many questions about her responsibilities and background. She explained that she majored in Communication Studies at SUNY Oneonta and held a marketing job with the United States Air Force 86th Force Support Squadron earlier in her career and shared the important aspects of her current job.

“We want to portray our great message and go the extra mile so that people want to see and learn more,” Ms. Peterson said of her role. “It’s important to keep people engaged.”

As each presentation concluded, students received NASA stickers and left excited for what their own future studies and vocations will involve.

It was a cool, windy, and gray skied sunset. Just a few days before Halloween. Were there ghosts and goblins out there? Nope, just a team of frogs; Carle Place Frogs that is!

The Garden City Middle School’s Field Hockey Red team played its final game of the season, finishing undefeated, with their 3-0 win over Carle Place. The win, their eighth of the season, capped the end of their perfect season in the perfect way; another shut out!

Sportsmanship! That’s the word that tops the list of accolades that describe this team. Not only to their opponents, but to each other, the officials, their coach and their fans.

They were hard working, dedicated, responsible, kind, supportive, and most of all, respectful student-athletes! To quote an opponent’s athletic director’s email to Garden City’s athletic director, “I wanted to reach out to let you know that your 8th Grade field hockey team….were so respectful yesterday. They….. demonstrated tremendous amounts

of sportsmanship. Their kindness does not go unnoticed, and we are very appreciative.”

The team consisted of forwards Hailey Abbate, Ashley Clark, Kara Doherty, Erin Kenna, Alexis LaBella, Mackenzie Molloy, and Katherine O’Hanlon; midfielders Ellie Brantuck, Grace Golden, Abby Gorman, Bridget Macchio, Daly Prybylski, Jennifer Roller, Story Seidenberg, and Cat Suau; defenders Maddie Brown, Kim Colucci, Micaela Cuccia, Madison LaRosa, Jessy Martin, and Averie Smith; and goalie Shea McGovern.

This undefeated team was led by coach, Robert Townsend, or as the girls call him, “Mr. T”. He was a positive influence on the girls with his enthusiasm, support and knowledge of the game.

Many thanks to all of the dedicated fans for their attendance and support during the season - the girls absolutely loved having you all there. They are a very entertaining group of student-athletes! Hey Red: Fhockey is my life!

Thunder 7s give Rosedale nightmares on Halloween

Good game, boys!

Thunder O-Line ready to fire off the ball!

The Thunder 7s (Reilly) turned Brockville Park into a “house of horrors” for the hometown Rosedale Jets with a 33-14 victory on Halloween. The win made it seven-in-a-row for our boys, who continued to show improvement on both sides of the ball, with contributions from the entire 23 -man roster.

The offense was once again paced by the dominant play of the “HOGS” (Charlie Galli, Connor Reilly, Peter Rosenberg, Conor Hegarty, Caleb Howald, JoJo Ordas and Charlie Fuschillo), who opened gaping holes from the first series to the final whistle. Field General, Ben Goettelmann, once again kept the defense com-

The overmatched Rosedale defense were “chasing ghosts,” with impressive TD runs from Will Capparelli, Brooks Galli, Theo Ganas, Caleb Howald and Tristan Connolly. Connor Reilly chipped in two extra points on the ground, and in one the many highlights of the season, took a perfect pitch from Goettelmann, rolled left and fired a strike to Charlie Fuschillo who beat his man in the corner of the Rosedale endzone. The coaches also wanted to recognize the tough and See page 49

Thunder 7s give Rosedale nightmares on Halloween From page 48 explosive running of Caeden Corbett, Declan Quinn, George Davidson and Eli Kong, as well as the blocking of Gavin Alper and Jackson Mijares who gave the Jets defense fits all day.

On defense, it was the same recipe... remain disciplined on the edges, fly to the ball and gang tackle! If DEs Brooks Galli and Charlie Galli and CBs Charlie Fuschillo and Conor Hegarty were not making tackles at the line, they were funneling the Jets’ RBs back into DLs Caleb Howald, JoJo Ordas, Henry

Crain, Connor Reilly, Declan Quinn, LBs Caeden Corbett and Will Capparelli and FS Theo Ganas. The defense also saw big plays and crunching hits from Kian Durkan, Marc Sanzeri, Gavin Alper, jackson Mijares, Peter Rosenberg, Eli Kong, George Davidson, Ben Goettelmann, George Catapano, Tristan Connolly and Cash Leake.

It was all treats (no tricks) for the traveling Thunder fans who witnessed another total team victory, and closed out their season in style.

This was an amazing season for the 7th Grade Boys Football team. For some of them, this was their first experience playing tackle football. Their experienced teammates and coaches, Coach Nolan and Coach Hepworth, showed patience and sportsmanship as they helped them to learn more about the game and each other. They were inspired by the fans cheering them on at each game. Unfortunately, their last game was canceled (due to COVID) but it didn’t stop these boys and their families from celebrating at their Team Dinner! The boys are already looking forward to next season!

Thunder Stoller 9s wallop the Warriors

The Thunder Offensive Line held strong all game.

Landon Stoller outrunning the Warriors’ defense.

On October 31, the Thunder Stoller 9s (5-2) defeated the Franklin Square Warriors (5-3) by a score of 18-9 and delighted the capacity crowd at Community Park with a display of some Halloween “tricks and treats” of their own. The Thunder took an early 6-0 lead on their first drive of the game when quarterback Landon Stoller galloped 39 yards for the touchdown. Also contributing to the Thunder’s offensive prowess were running backs Peter

Hamilton and Dylan Vaillant, who scored on 4-yard and 56-yard touchdown runs, respectively. But, the stars of the offense this past Sunday were the Thunder’s offensive line, who dominated the Warriors’ defensive linemen all game. Center JB Lattuca, Guards Michael Kennedy and Leo Delaney, Tackles Zachary Argenziano, Greyson Rogow, Patrick Hegmann, and Colin Slevin, and tight ends Phoenix Galli, Andrew Bruno, Luke Finelli, and Luke Padala kept

the running lanes open for the Thunder, as the offense compiled 222 yards from the line of scrimmage.

The Thunder defense led the charge in the second half by shutting out the Warriors’ offense. The strong defensive performance was highlighted by the play of linebacker Hayes Kelleher, who led the Thunder with 13 tackles, including one for a loss. Linebacker Owen Arneson also contributed to the defensive effort with 9 tackles on the day. In

addition, the Thunder defense collected two more fumble recoveries, one each by Colin Slevin and James Sardelis, with Sardelis’ recovery coming late in the fourth quarter and all but cementing the Thunder’s fifth victory of the season.

The Thunder Stoller 9s conclude their regular season schedule this coming Sunday against the Rockville Centre Titans at Community Park.

Kick-off is scheduled for 9:00 a.m. Go Thunder!!

Heart-healthy Coffee

BY CHARLYN FARGO Here’s happy news for coffee drinkers: Up to three cups a day may be beneficial for your heart. But there’s a catch -- if you’re adding sugar and cream, coffee’s benefits may be canceled out.

A recent study on middle-aged coffee drinkers without existing heart issues found that drinking up to three cups per day was associated with a lower risk for stroke or death over the next decade, along with better heart structure and function. Researchers at the Heart and Vascular Centre, Semmelweis University, Budapest, Hungary, looked at a large, observational study. The researchers examined data from the UK Biobank, which recruited 500,000 people ages 40 to 69 from across the United Kingdom. The average age was 56, and 56% were women.

Here’s the bottom line -- regular coffee

consumption is safe, as even high daily intake was not associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes and all-cause mortality after a follow-up of 10 to 15 years.

I admit I love a good cup of coffee in the morning to start my day. If you’re like me and drop liquid creamer into your cup, try to wean yourself off the creamer. Start measuring how much creamer you use, try using a little less, and eventually you’ll find you may prefer the bolder taste of your coffee.

In this study, most of the coffee drinkers (55%) drank instant coffee, followed by filtered/ground (23%), decaffeinated (20%) or other types (2%). Risk for stroke or heart failure didn’t significantly differ for different types of coffee drinkers.

What about drinking more than three cups a day? Researchers found heavy coffee drinkers also had more favorable cardiac findings and similar rates of stroke

compared with nondrinkers. Additional benefit wasn’t seen from drinking more than three cups.

Just what is there about coffee that’s beneficial when coffee and caffeine are often considered to be bad for the heart because people associate them with palpitations and high blood pressure?

Coffee is chock-full of substances that may help guard against conditions like dementia and heart disease. Coffee contains antioxidants and other active substances that may reduce internal inflammation and protect against disease.

So, skip the mocha or the latte. Enjoy your coffee in moderation as part of an overall heart-healthy dietary pattern with plenty of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean protein and low-fat dairy products that is also low in sodium, saturated fat and added sugars.

Retirement means free time & new adventures

BY CLAIRE LYNCH Retirement in any language is a sweet, sweet word. In French it’s “la retraite.” In Spanish it’s “la jubilacion.”

In English it can mean saying goodbye to one’s job of 40 years - or for many people it means the chance to start a second career.

Most of my friends give a lot of thought as to how they will spend their retirement years. I guess we’re all pretty much the same age, give or take a few years, and whenever we get together for lunch or dinner that often ends up being the topic of conversation. I know people who spend time figuring out when they can retire to go swimming in the ocean, lounge on the beach or start a new career using a favorite hobby as the basis. One person I always think about is my friend, Steve, a full-time engineer. He’s always wanted to draw and in retirement he could sketch and draw whenever he wants.

Retiring at age 62, I decided that working part-time would be ideal for me. Don’t get me wrong - I enjoy swimming and playing Mah Jongg and lingering over lunch with friends and family - but I also like having some structure to my days and weeks so a job offers that. Plus it means new possibilities abound - with each work day there’s always something new and interesting to discover.

Many of my fellow retiree friends say similar things. My friend, Linda, worked for many years as an elementary school teacher in Queens and her dream was always to work or volunteer in a library. After filing her retirement papers at work, she got the chance to volunteer in a library and whether she is shelving books, checking out books or just chatting with the patrons in a whis-

pered voice, Linda is as happy as can be.

My friend, Barry, was completing a 34-year career working as a physical education teacher in a public school because his plan, as he discussed it with his wife, Betsy, was to sell the house, buy a 200-square-foot Airstream trailer and travel full-time across the country. Their idea was to stay in national parks and campgrounds in different states - to enjoy summer in Idaho, for example, and winters in the southern states. Their little “house on wheels” gives them the ability to move around whenever they want.

Barry was retiring earlier than many of his friends, but Barry and Betsy had worked for years and watched their budget carefully. “We’ve paid our dues and raised our three kids and we both felt that a change of pace and a change of scenery was our priority,” Barry said. “Doing something different has been like a breath of fresh air for us and for one of our grandchildren, too.

Five-year-old Eddie hadn’t started kindergarten so he came with us recently on our drive to the Grand Canyon. We’d never been there before and Eddie certainly hadn’t so when I saw the expression on his face as we stood at the edge of the Grand Canyon, it was something to see. We went at sunset and Eddie was amazed at and mesmerized by the light bouncing off the ridges, the rock formations and the gorges at the Grand Canyon. He said, ‘Wow, all these colors are like fireworks in the rocks! Every time I look at them, they’re glowing and they all look so different.’”

Barry told me that the advantage of selling their house and having a camper to travel around the country is that they don’t pay property taxes or cable bills or subscription fees. “Our biggest expense is day-to-day spending such

Clever Ways to Use This for That to Save Money and Simplify, Too

BY MARY HUNT

One day, as I was hurriedly putting groceries away, the fruit bowl was not within reach, so I put the fruit into the colander.

It worked so well that I’ve been using the colander in that way ever since. And when I need a colander, no problem. I turn the fruit onto the counter, drain whatever I need to drain, then replace the fruit. Giving one kitchen tool two or even three jobs is a great way to simplify.

STORAGE CONTAINER Bamboo steamers are airtight by design to allow air to circulate while items are steaming. That makes a bamboo steamer an ideal storage container for onions, garlic and shallots, which need ventilation and

should not be refrigerated. -- Patti, email COPPER CLEANER Use a dab of Miracle Whip or ketchup to remove tarnish from copper-bottom pots.

Just wipe on with a paper towel, let stand a bit and wash. It sounds weird, but it works.

-- Thelma, Wyoming BABY ORAJEL Our teenage daughter badly stubbed her toe and we needed to clip the nail. Unfortunately, she wouldn’t let us near it because of the pain. My wife found a tube of Baby Orajel and covered the area using a cotton swab. It was like magic. It numbed the area well enough that I was able to take care of things.

as fuel for the camper, propane fees, the food we get in local supermarkets and the occasional drinks out or our favorite cups of coffee in specialty coffee shops,” Barry said. “For special occasions like birthdays and anniversaries we actually splurge and go out to eat at a nice restaurant.”

My friend, Sarah, said that the day she told her boss that she was retiring was the day she got serious about the business plan she’d been toying around with in her head for months.

An art history major when she was in college, Sarah was focused on opening an antiques store and a lot of her merchandise would be artwork - pictures, vases etc.

Sarah has always been the person I know who for decades has gone to tag sales, estate sales and flea markets searching for just the right items. It’s an interest, a passion really, for her. She’s had a medium-sized collection of artsy things in her house but opening her own store would give her the chance to talk the language of antiques practically every day - to tell customers when an item was made or who made it, if it was signed.

W R I T E R’S C O R N E R

She’d been busy raising her four children and working as an office manager for 30+ years but in her 50s now, she’s been running the business that had always been in the back of her mind.

After talking it over with her husband, they decided to go for it together. As a team. It’s been three months since Sarah and Jake opened the doors to their antiques store - a brick-and-mortar store - and she’s happy to report that they have been busy. She sells home décor items along with the antiques and furniture.

Whether I’m talking with Linda, Barry, Betsy or Sarah, all this talk about starting over at a later age in life is pretty fascinating. It’s nice to have options about where you will travel or what second career you might be able to start.

Barry added that the thing he likes best about traveling around is they go where they want to and they can change their plans on a whim. As he so aptly put it, “it offers an element of flexibility to our days and an amount of spontaneity. It’s a good life!”

Where to Go for Social Security Help

BY TOM MARGENAU

My wife has a little plaque hanging on the wall of her art studio. She’s a fiber artist who makes quilted landscapes and something called “temari,” which are decorative Japanese thread balls.

She sells her wares in a local art gallery.

If you want to see her work, just go to www.fiberartsbybecky.com. Anyway, that plaque, which she got when we both retired in 2005, says: “Help me! My husband retired and he doesn’t have a hobby!”

I was thinking of that plaque when I opened my email inbox today. There were scores of letters from readers of my column. I probably get hundreds of emails every week from across the country. And for the most part, I’m not complaining -- and my wife is rejoicing.

Answering those emails has become my hobby. It keeps me out of her hair and out of ... well, never mind. But you get my drift. My wife can work on her little crafts in peace upstairs while I work on my “hobby” downstairs. (That’s part of the secret to a 47-year marriage!)

You’ll note I said I’m not complaining “for the most part.” I like helping people understand Social Security’s rules and regulations. And I like answering their general questions about the program.

But frankly, I’m perplexed when people come to me with questions or issues that I simply cannot help them with.

For example, one of the emails I got today went like this: “I get a small Social Security check and my husband’s benefit is much larger. How do I find out if I can get any extra benefits on his record?” Well, the obvious answer (obvious to me anyway) is to contact the Social Security Administration. Simply call them at their toll-free number: 800772-1213.

Another email said: “I am about to turn 62 and I want to file for my Social Security. Can you help me with this?”

Well, no I can’t. Once again, you’ve got to call SSA at 800-772-1213. Or better yet, file online at their website: www. socialsecurity.gov.

Still other readers send me LONG emails that, because of the high volume of mail I get, I simply do not have time to decipher. These long emails usually take two forms.

One kind comes from readers who are looking for financial advice. They provide me with their entire work history, marital history, earnings history and a spouse’s work and earnings history. They frequently tell me about all their assets and liabilities. They ask me to help them make retirement plans and tell them when they should file for Social Security benefits. While I do appreciate their thoroughness, I really only have time to quickly scan their email, and I almost always tell them: “I am not a financial planner. I’m just an old retired Social Security guy. As such, all I

can do is explain Social Security rules.

And I just can’t do that in a quick email.

So I strongly recommend you spend 10 bucks and get my little Social Security guidebook called “Social Security -Simple and Smart.” One of the chapters in that book explains when and how to file for Social Security. I think it will answer all your questions.”

The other kind of long email I get from readers are the kind that are ranting and raving about some perceived injustice with the Social Security system. (I got one this week that went on for three pages!) There really is nothing I can do to help these people other than just give them a chance to vent!

Still other readers send me emails in which they are complaining about service they got, or that they are trying to get, from the Social Security Administration. Sometimes they tell me they can’t get through to SSA’s toll-free service line (800-772-1213). Or they talked to someone at SSA and didn’t like the answer they got. Or they are trying to resolve some problem with their benefits, and they think the resolution is taking too long. They usually ask me to intervene or “do something” to resolve their problem.

But frankly, there is nothing I can do in these situations. With respect to getting help at the 800 number, all I can suggest is patience. You might have to wait on hold a while, but someone will eventually answer the phone. With respect to intervening in their case, these folks should know that I have been retired from the agency for 16 years now and I have absolutely no clout with anyone there. I simply can’t pick up the phone, call some official at SSA, and say, “Fix this guy’s problem now!” What I usually do is suggest they ask to speak to a supervisor or manager at their local Social Security office.

And speaking of dealing with someone at the local office, I always recommend you do that. Some people think they are being smart by “going to the top” -- by trying to deal with someone at one of SSA’s regional offices or even at their headquarters’ complex in Baltimore, Maryland. That is a big waste of time. You are always better off dealing with local staff.

To illustrate what I mean, let me share this with you. I worked for many years at SSA’s headquarters outside of Baltimore. There were about 10,000 people working there. And each of those folks had some sort of administrative job to do. They were not there to help individual Social Security recipients.

(Again, that’s what local Social Security offices are for.) Still, every day, people would walk into the main headquarters’ building -- some of them having traveled across the country to do so -- and demand to speak to “someone at the top about my problem.”

These folks were ushered into a little office where I assume they thought they were talking to a headquarters’ big shot.

In actuality, this office was staffed by representatives from the Randallstown, Maryland, Social Security office -- the closest field office to SSA headquarters.

If that Randallstown rep couldn’t handle the situation, the case was always referred back to the local office in the town where the visitor lived -- the place

the person should have gone to in the first place to handle the problem. (I realize that things are different for the time being with many offices partially closed due to COVID-19. So, consider this longterm advice when the world gets back to normal.)

Or if you simply can’t get help from the staff or management of your local Continued on next page

Have home price increases and appreciation left you behind?

BY PHILIP A. RAICES

O

bserving the market and understanding the obviously insane increases in prices and values lately from 17.4% on average across the U.S. according to Case-Shiller Report in 2021 which calculated in July year over year of 19.7%, CoreLogic showed 18% and FHFA 19.2%.

The major reason has been a total lack of sufficient inventory. This is basic high school education of supply vs. demand economics. Low supply, higher than normal demand and historically low, low interest rates allowing so many more buyers to enter the market causing these major increases in home prices.

Most important is the lack of sufficient construction of new homes from 2008-2015 due to the fear by builders of having excess inventory in case of another down turn, leaving them holding costly inventory. However, over that 7 year period millions of new willing and qualified purchasers entered the market creating an oversaturated tsunami of consumers and our lower than normal interest rates stimulating our economy and the buying frenzy that ensued.

However over the next two months price increases should be more moderate at 11.2%, as inventory increases and demand slows just a bit. Price increases are not expected to decline over the next five years, while rates are still historically low. Home prices and values will not depreciate in the foreseeable future and increases will continue, as long as interest rates don’t rise out of the range of what is currently affordable for the majority of purchasers allowing demand and sales to continue at a much more normal pace.

There has been a slight increase

in inventory compared to the spring of 2021.

Annualized home sales from 2019 was one of the best in the past 10 years, except for 2017, which was a bit better. But 2020 (Covid-19 Pandemic environment) effected the first 2 quarters and then the 3rd and 4th quarters came back like a bat out of hell and made buyers exit major cities like a hurricane with a voracious appetite; purchasing homes with more open, safe and private surroundings w/work at home spaces.

2021 has also been quite above average. Increased material costs especially for wood products and other materials that are used in the building process have caused higher construction costs and have also been impacted by supply chain issues, slower than normal production due to Covid causing major labor issues in unloading the vessels off shore. All this has had an effect on new home sales as well as price increases on new and used autos and many other everyday consumer goods and products.

Rates have increased to 3.01% recently due to the Federal Government’s easing of their monthly purchases of one hundred twenty billion dollars worth of bonds, as no one else was buying them.

As rates increase, they will cause those that are borderline buyers to exit the market, or, if they are smart to at least consider being in an ownership position by buying a condo, HOA or even a co-op, which in the majority of localities will be more affordable.

This will still enable them to take part

Y O U R S O C I A L S E C U R I T Y

Where to Go for Social Security Help Continued from previous page office, then I suggest you contact your local congressional representative.

They always have someone on staff who handles Social Security issues.

So, to sum up, come to me if you’ve got general questions about Social Security or if you can briefly present your own personal issue. (As I said, it really would help if you read my book first.)

But if you’ve got business with SSA, you’re going to have to call them at 800-

772-1213 or go online at www.socialsecurity.gov. And if you have a problem, ask to speak to a manager, or contact your local member of Congress.

If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has a book with all the answers. It’s called “Social Security -- Simple and Smart.” You can find the book at www.creators.com/books. Or look for it on Amazon or other book outlets.

in the “American Dream” of being a homeowner and take advantage of long term appreciation, tax deductions, and becoming their own landlord. This will put them in a strong position in having the same power to control and determine their destiny as to if and when they want to move again and not someone else who may or may not renew their lease.

I have been saying for years, that renters will never, ever be able to get a fixed lease for 30 years unless they apply and obtain a mortgage. This is how one begins to grow their long term wealth. Many say a home is not an investment, but really over 10, 20, 30 and 40 years it really does make sense.

However, if you are one of those rare and amazing stock pickers and investors that can gain greater investment value on your money year over year without any risk and beat the average appreciation of owning your own home, then that just possibly maybe more to your advantage.

But if not, then owning your own place, and more importantly, building strong roots in a community, potential long term friendships, having greater privacy is worth it. Not being subjected to enduring transient noisy tenants all around you as well as smelling their food, and of course increases in your rent over the years makes ownership well worth the money! So be creative and begin today to figure out how you can make it happen and become a homeowner. There are a multitude of sources online for you to create a plan to accomplish this. However, if you

need assistance in learning how then call me!

We’re Off to See the Lizard

BY TRACY BECKERMAN

When I went to visit my folks in Florida last winter, I was looking forward to the warm weather and sunshine. Unfortunately, Florida was having an unusual cold snap just as I was arriving. So, not only didn’t I get any beach time, but I also had to watch out for ...

“Falling iguanas,” said my dad, looking up into the trees.

“Excuse me?” I replied.

“When it gets cold like this, especially at night, the iguanas freeze and fall out of the trees.”

“Are they dead?” I asked, looking around the lawn for evidence of dead, frozen iguanas.

“No,” he said. “As soon as they warm up, they revive and then they go back into the trees.”

I was dumbfounded. In all my visits to my parents over the years, I’d never

heard about frozen iguanas. I wondered how heavy a frozen iguana was. Could it knock you out? Would you have to go to the hospital and tell everyone you had a concussion because you got hit by a frozen iguana?

I’m pretty sure that’s how people end up in the psych ward.

Meanwhile, I really had no idea how big an iguana was, so I looked it up on the internet and was shocked to see they were big. Like, Godzilla big. Okay, not that big. But certainly bigger than the bearded dragon my son had when he was growing up, which was nearly the size of a small child.

I realized I wasn’t just going to need sunscreen during my visit. I would also need a hard hat.

“Do you have any extra suits of armor lying around?” I asked my parents. “Or maybe an ‘Iron Man’ suit?”

They shook their heads.

As we headed outside to go to dinner that night, I covered my head with my arms and ran straight for the car. My parents looked at me, puzzled.

“What are you doing?” my mom asked.

“I’m protecting myself from frozen iguanas falling out of the trees.”

“Oh, you don’t have to worry about that tonight,” she said.

“Why?” “We didn’t get any frozen iguana alerts.”

“They give you ALERTS for that?” I said incredulously.

“Yes. On the news.”

Odd as that piece of information was, I suppose it was good to have advance warning of an impending frozen iguana deluge. My folks got frost advisories, hurricane warnings and notifications when their favorite Italian restaurant was having a two-for-one early bird

special. Why not falling iguana alerts?

Like most adult children who don’t live near their parents, I worry about my folks when I don’t see them. Now there was something else to be concerned about. Then I had an idea. A lot of people in my parents’ community had one of those Life Alert buttons that they could press if they fell and needed help. I wondered if I could get my parents a button that they could press if they got hit by a falling iguana.

It could actually serve a dual purpose.

They could use it if they tripped over a frozen alligator, too.

Finding the Seventh Planet

BY DENNIS MAMMANA Week of October 31 - November 6, 2021 Many years ago, I was interviewed by a couple of morning radio jokesters in San Diego. Knowing what these guys were like, I was prepared for their silliness and had planned a few good comebacks.

Well, to my surprise they played it completely straight -- not even one humorous remark between the two of them. I was actually rather disappointed in them.

The few minutes flew by quickly and as the interview was about to end, they had just one final question for me. And it was this: “Do you astronomers still giggle when you say the name of the planet Uranus?”

At that moment, my faith in humanity had been restored; all was well again with the cosmos!

Uranus is, without a doubt, the most mispronounced planet in the English language and almost always gets a chuckle out of kids (and AM radio guys).

It was discovered by William Herschel in 1781 and named Uranus in honor of Ouranos, the father of the Titans and grandfather of Jupiter in Greek mythology. Of course, you can pronounce it any way you like, but it was then (and still is) pronounced YOU-rah-nus.

At the time, Herschel’s discovery created quite a stir since, throughout history, only five planets had been known

to exist: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn (and, of course, the Earth), all of which are easy to see with the unaided eye.

Uranus is different, however. Though it’s extremely faint, we can always see it with binoculars and sometimes even with the unaided eye. Though the ancient sky watchers didn’t have binoculars, I’ve often wondered if they ever spotted this object but just considered it not important enough to record its existence.

Right now, Uranus lies at its closest to Earth -- its opposition point -- and is just barely bright enough to see with the eye under extremely dark skies. There’s good news and bad news, however, and they’re both the same. The planet appears in a section of the sky with few bright stars to serve as guideposts, so that means that Uranus -- as faint as it is -- is one of the brightest objects in that celestial region.

After dark this week, see if you can spot it almost midway on a line between the stars Menkar (in Cetus) and Hamal (in Aries). Try searching for the planet with just your eyes before resorting to binoculars. It’s quite faint, but you might just be able to find it! You can even use the Pleiades star cluster lower in the sky to help define a triangle that may help you track down this elusive planet.

Now if Uranus had been known in ancient days, one must wonder how

history might have evolved. After all, the five visible planets (plus the sun and moon) lent importance to the number “seven,” and we see it everywhere: There are seven days of the week, seven rungs of perfection, seven wonders, seven emblems of the Buddha, seven gates of Thebes and on and on.

How might our culture be different had we known of eight significant bodies that traveled the heavens? It’s only by chance that we didn’t.

All In and ready for a meet.

The Garden City Swimmers, led

by Anne Sullivan, had a very busy season this fall. They remained dedicated and determined throughout the season and were constantly supported by their seniors Sophia Bernado, Kaitlyn Fuoco, Emma Kavouridis, Emily Floyd and Leah Steadman. The team was excited to add first year diver, Emily Floyd, who was a great asset to the meets this year.

The girls took a quick lead at the Division Championships with a first place victory in the 200 IM Medley Relay (Caroline Crouchley, Sophia

Coach Sullivan's pep talk to state qualifier Madison Connor Bernado, Madison Connor and Mia Brita). Kathlyn Pomeroy placed 5th in the 200 Yard Free and Amanda Baiker had a personal best, placing 6th in the 200 Yard IM. Mia Brita continued the team’s power by placing 1st in the 50 Yard Free, while Sophia Bernardo and Caroline Crouchley finished 3rd and 5th respectively in the 100 Yard Butterfly. Madison Connor placed 1st with her state qualifying time for the 100 Yard Free, along with her teammates Mia Brita (6th) and Amanda Baiker (8th).

In addition, GC was lucky to have

Sophia Bernardo using her power for the 100 Yard Breaststroke

Kaitlyn Fuoco swim the 500 Free to round out the team. Once again, Garden City used its power in the 200 Yard Free Relay to place 1st (Mia Brita, Sophia Bernardo, Amanda Baiker and Madison Connor) and Caroline Crouchley also took the 1st place in the 100 yard back. Followed were Kathlyn Pomeroy (2nd) and Sophia Bernardo (3rd) who together pulled past many in the 100 Yard Breast. The Division Championships ended with a powerful 400 Yard Free Relay where GC placed 1st (Madison Connor, Amanda Baiker, Caroline

Crouchley and Kathlyn Pomeroy).

Great swims were also had by Isabella Soberon, Victoria Williams, Evelyn Paige Feron, Silvana Newcomb, Emma Harty, Kaelani Briganti, Kaitlyn Gebhard, Nina Chen and Alexandra Burke.

The girls’ determination and persistence placed them 3rd in the Division Championship.

Congratulations to all swimmers!

Next up are the County Championships on Friday andSaturday. Good luck girls and Go GC!

Seniors: Emma Kavouridis, Kaitlyn Fuoco, Sophia Bernardo, Emily Floyd and Leah Steadman.

GC outlasts Roosevelt and the weather

Captain Connolly celebrating his PK goals with teammates Poz, Pica and Zuniga with the smiles.

Luke Menger taking on the Rough Rider’s defense…

The GC Trojan Boys Soccer team took to the Mitchell Field pitch this past Friday night with the wind blowing 40mph and gusts up to 60mph. The Roosevelt Rough Riders were hoping to contain the high power Trojans with help from mother nature. The game was a back and forth affair for the first 40 minutes with both teams using the wind to their advantage and they put the balls on net from an array of angles. Some great goal keeping from both teams kept the score at 0-0 at the end of the first half.

Just 30 seconds into the 2nd half the Rough Riders struck first with the help of the wind when two trojan defenders collided going for a wind aided ball which fell to the Roosevelt forward who put it into the trojan net for a 1-0 lead. The boys of GC were not discouraged though and had plenty of time left in the game.

The boys thought they tied the score, but an errant offside call from the official took the goal off the scoreboard. The rain started to fall and the field got slick and when the Trojans

James Castoro going up up and away to make a terrific save. played a ball into the penalty area a rough rider slipped using his hand to stop the cross and GC was awarded a penalty kick. Captain Finn Connolly, who has converted all year long, placed the ball at the PK spot, but the ball would not stay still due to the wind. Finn put the ball on net where the goal keeper made the save, however he gave up the rebound and Connolly followed up his PK and hit it left footed into the goal to tie the game at 1-1.

The teams continued to battle the elements and Roosevelt struck again from a corner kick which stopped short of the goalie and was put in for a 2-1 Roosevelt lead. GC fought back and tied the game on a great header

by Captain Connor Brock to make it 2-2. The rain picked up and so did the

game with multiple scoring chances by both sides. It came down to a free kick with 1 minute left in the game from the 45 yard line which Captain Ryan Buccellato looked to put into the rough riders box for a deflection by one of his teammates, however it turned out no help was necessary except from mother nature’s wind which sailed the ball over every one including the goalie.

The Trojans Win, the Trojans Win. Sometimes it helps to get a little lucky, but well deserved win. The boys will play for the Nassau County Championship for the 5th straight year on Wednesday Nov. 3 at Mitchell Field verse Glen Cove.

Congrats to all the boys and play your game.

Photo by Ed Rotondo After a decisive win 7-2 against Mineola in the first round of play-offs, the Girls Varsity Soccer team was primed and ready for a battle against sixth-seeded Mepham in the quarter finals on Wednesday, October 27. This would be the seniors’ last soccer game played on their home turf and they were pumped to leave it all on the field one last time. Garden City had faced off against the Mepham Pirates during the regular season and shut them out both times. The Lady Trojans were gunning for another decisive victory which they would get, once again shutting out the Lady Pirates 4-0.

The first half kicked off with the Lady Trojans taking full control of the ball with their starting offensive line-up: senior captain Kylie Brunning, senior captain Alivia Gordon, senior captain Renee Gollisz, junior Maya Costa, junior Catherine Hayes, sophomore Lauren Hohenberger and freshman Kathryn

Monaco. Subbing in on offense, senior Natalie Greiner, sophomore Bella Vona, sophomore Emily Romeo, sophomore Riley Donahue and freshman Chloe Benik created scoring opportunities the instant they stepped on the field. The first goal would come at the twenty-minute mark with a beautiful feed by super soph Emily Romeo to freshman Chloe Benik. Just five minutes later, fierce frosh Chloe Benik would score again, this time off of a cross by senior captain Renee Gollisz. The Lady Trojans entered the second half with a 2-0 lead.

The second half showed more of the same fire, with Emily Romeo opening the scoring twenty minutes in off of a cross by Catherine Hayes. The final score of the game would come as a result of a foul in the box. Sophomore Riley Donahue took the penalty kick bringing the final score to 4-0. The senior captain defensive powerhouse kept Mepham to only a few shots on

On Saturday, October 30, the thirdranked Lady Trojans travelled to Cold Spring Harbor High School to take on the second-ranked South Side Cyclones in the Girls Soccer Class A Semi-Finals. The stands were packed with families and fans alike armed with cowbells and ready to cheer the girls onto victory. Garden City had met South Side twice in regular season play resulting in a win and a tie. The team was confident they could successfully take on South Side again to advance in the play-offs. The pace of the game showed the intensity of Garden City, dominating possession throughout the match. Midfielders, captain Renee Gollisz, senior Natalie Greiner, junior Maya Costa, junior Catherine Hayes, sophomore Lauren Hohenberger, sophomore Riley Donahue, freshman Chloe Benik, and freshman Kathryn Monaco, controlled the pace of the game and were up and down the field turning quick defensive stops into opportunities to attack. Super strikers, senior captain Kylie Brunning, senior captain Alivia Gordon, sophomore Bella Vona, and

sophomore Emily Romeo, aggressively fought through the South Side defense firing off shot after shot. Unfortunately, they couldn’t connect in the back of the net. The first score of the game came off of a questionable foul called in the box resulting in a penalty kick to bring the score to 1-0. The score would remain 1-0 into halftime.

The second half brought much of the same intensity with Garden City still dominating possession but unlucky to convert offensive chances into points.

Their luck finally changed as a result of a corner kick by Maya Costa, which was headed in by Renee Gollisz to tie the score 1-1. The remainder of the half would be a battle of wills with Garden City still controlling majority possession. As it was all season, the stellar Trojan defense was led by senior captains, Caitlin McNaboe, Samantha Mejia, Riley O’Rourke, Renee Gollisz, along with sophomore Lauren Hohenberger.

The defense formed a brick wall to keep the Cyclone’s offense at bay most of the game and holding them to only three shots total, saved by Marisa Patrissi.

With about six minutes left in the match, the Lady Cyclones were given a free kick as a result of another questionable foul, which landed inside the net giving South Side the lead once again to 2-1. The Trojans were not thwarted and

their play intensity crescendoed for the remaining six minutes of play. Sadly, the Lady Trojans could not tie the score, which abruptly and unexpectedly ended their playoff run.

The Garden City Girls Varsity Soccer team should be applauded for a hardfought season where they played with heart and really did leave it all on the field every single game. From the fields of St. Paul’s as preschoolers to Garden City High School Varsity players, the passion and talent on this team runs deep and the girls should be proud of their accomplishments all season long. The Lady Trojans ended the season ranked second in Nassau County Class A with a league record of 7-3-3. Demonstrating that they are a force both offensively and defensively, the team is ranked second overall with most “Goals For” at 32 and second for least “Goals Against” at 14. Their successes were a true team effort from a skilled and cohesive team.

The JOGA 2021 girls could not have achieved the success they had without the coaching direction of Mike Heedles and Scott McAuley.

Best of luck to the fifteen seniors heading off to college next year and showing true leadership all season: captain Alivia Gordon, captain Caitlin McNaboe, captain Kylie Brunning, captain Renee Gollisz, captain Riley

Best OF Nassau County WINNER PRESENTED BY BLANK SLATE MEDIA

In 2022, the GCAA will be sponsoring travel baseball teams in the U8, U9 and U10 age groups. On the afternoon of Sunday, November 14, the GCAA will be holding tryouts for the 2022 U8, U9 and U10 teams. The exact time and location for each age group is TBD. Details will be shared with all registered participants prior to the tryouts.

To be eligible to tryout, a child must live or attend school in Garden City and meet the following age requirements: U8 Team: Players born between 9/1/2013 and 8/31/2014. Players born between 9/1/2014 and 11/30/2014 who are currently in 2nd grade are also eligible.

U9 Team: Players born between 9/1/2012 and 8/31/2013.

Players born between 9/1/2013 and 11/30/2013 who are currently in 3rd grade are also eligible.

U10 Team: Players born between 9/1/2011 and 8/31/2012.

Players born between 9/1/2012 and 11/30/2012 who are currently in 4th grade are also eligible.

Players born after November 30, 2014 are not eligible to participate in the GCAA travel baseball program in 2022. Similarly, since the GCAA does not sponsor any travel baseball teams for ages U11 and older, players born prior to September 1, 2011 are also not eligible to tryout for a GCAA travel team. These travel teams are independent and operate outside of the GCAA Program.

The U9 and U10 teams that are selected in the fall typically begin winter workouts in January at an indoor facility. The U8 teams may also participate in winter workouts this year as well.

Players must be willing to play

baseball on a year-round basis and be committed to their team. We recognize that participants play other sports and have other activities, and the GCAA encourages that diversity of activity. We understand that players may miss games or practices from time to time because of illness, family events, practices or games for other sports or participation in other activities. We simply ask that the children and parents recognize that they have made a commitment to their Garden City baseball team and that they communicate with their coaches so that the teams are not in a position where other players on the team do not have a good experience because too many players are regularly choosing another activity at the expense of baseball.

Please also understand that any child participating in the GCAA travel program must also participate in the GCAA intramural baseball program in the spring of 2022. The intent of the travel baseball program is to provide the opportunity to play more baseball to those who are interested, not to replace our intramural program.

Please use the URL below to complete the Google Form to register for the tryouts: h t t p s : / / f o r m s . g l e / QD3SF11t2xjyRFpa6 If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Brian Desiderio, GCAA Travel Baseball Coordinator:bdesiderio74@gmail.com ***Please also indicate if you are interested in serving as a Manager or Assistant Coach when submitting your Tryout Registration Form. You may also send an email to bdesiderio74@gmail.com to express interest in coaching a team.

Garden City Football ends regular season undefeated

Cody Wehrum (#72), Anthony Cuccia (#81), Jack Alkin (#58) and Kevin Slovensky (#56) are all ready to play.

Another impressive win for the Garden City Varsity Football team when they beat Elmont 34-0 last Saturday. In what has now become a prototypical format, Jack Cascadden accounted for four running touchdowns and Luke Schmitt passed to Will Peters for an airborne strike.

The final score was 34-0 Trojans.

What a year for these boys so far!

Only three touchdowns let up by this stingy Trojan defense all season, a

significant fact that speaks to the team’s commitment to film study and preparedness. What is most impressive is being undefeated and having each player participate in the success of this amazing team week in and week out. For this team, winning is a collective effort that relies on each person doing their job when they are called into the game to execute. All these boys continually answer the call and the game’s scores

Will Peters (#42) heading into the end zone for a TD. and the wins and loss record reflect their dedication.

We’d like to thank Leo’s for providing a delicious dinner for the boys after they watched film on Monday.

Of course, the boys loved it.

The Trojans will now head into the playoffs on Friday 11/6 at 2:00 PM at GCHS and will strive to end this season like so many GC Football seasons do: with a Championship!

GO TROJANS!
