Increase in bus traffic on Clinton Road BY RIKKI N. MASSAND

An increase in the number and frequency of public Nassau County buses on Clinton Road in the eastern section of Garden City is real and is not going to change, according to the CEO of NICE Bus system, the bus transit agency that serves Nassau County In mid-April a Garden City News reader and resident of Clinton Road inquired with NICE, which is a subsidiary of Illinois-

based Transdev North America. NICE Buses are running often from 700 Commercial Avenue, technically in Garden City, to the Rosa Parks Hempstead Transit Center, a bus facility between Jackson and West Columbia Streets in the Incorporated Village of Hempstead. On Tuesday May 7, NICE Bus CEO Jack Khzouz participated in a telephone interview with the News to discuss changes involving the consistent use of Clinton

Road. He confirmed that one Garden City resident has inquired and raised concerns related to the increased presence of buses along the stretch of Clinton Road. “I spoke to the resident on a couple of different occasions and explained to the resident that, while he lives between our bus depot and the Hempstead Transit Center/Hempstead Turnpike, and obviously this is right in the midSee page 46

At its April 25th meeting, the Garden City Board of Trustees’ designated the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend, May 25, as a special ‘Garden City Day’ to commemorate the founding of Garden City’s Sesquicentennial (1869 to 2019) as well as the Centennial of the Incorporated Village of Garden City (1919 to 2019). Mayor Theresa Trouvé announced that 2019 represents an extraordinary moment in the history of the Village of Garden City. “We are celebrating our 150 and 100-year anniversaries and we do want to make a gala festival of it, I think this is worth it,” she said. According to the mayor the fireworks for the village’s celebration “are a very, very good brand and include strobe lights.” The cost for the 15-minute fireworks show is about $15,000, she said. A large portable stage with the Town of Hempstead logos on it, outfitted with proper lighting for music and performances will be set up at St. Paul’s as the Town offered it for Garden City’s celebration. Celebrations for large audiences and including fireworks have a few hurdles to clear before gaining approval at the local level. At its last meeting the Board of Trustees not only officially entered the May 25 proclamation into village record; they approved the request by Adelphi University to hold a fireworks celebration on Sunday, August 25, at 8 p.m. on the campus of the Waldorf School of Garden City. During the meeting Trustee Mark Hyer commented on ‘etiquette among neighbors’ with Adelphi or other groups making requests to the village for fireworks displays -which in the case of Adelphi in late August, will be set off from the adjacent baseball field. Approvals are routine, as a fireworks display requires proof of insurance, coordination with Garden City Police and Fire departments as well as $500 for a permit. Trustee Hyer says the Board must take measures to ensure that Adelphi properly informs all area residents, “making more of an effort to notify residents when they come in for a display.” Mayor Trouvé says this is akin to the issue village offiSee page 45

A WORD FROM THE PUBLISHER

Garden City Day

We are looking forward to Garden City Day on Saturday, May 25th on the St. Paul’s fields, which sounds like will be a fun time for the whole family. The event will include performances, food and fireworks and will begin at 4 p.m. Food trucks will provide a variety of cuisines that should suit all palates. Another option is to eat at a downtown restaurant and enjoy an after dinner stroll over to St. Paul’s. What a great way to celebrate Garden City’s anniversaries! n

We want to thank a couple of our readers who alerted us to news stories in the past few weeks. One reader asked us about a public hearing by the Nassau County Industrial Development Agency regarding granting tax breaks to the devel-

opers of apartments at 555 Stewart Avenue. We had not known about the hearing as it was poorly publicized, so we are grateful to the reader who alerted us. (The hearing will take place on Monday, May 13th at 2 p.m. at Garden City Village Hall.) Last week another reader let us know that the Nassau County NICE buses have been using Clinton Road more than they used to and asked us to look into it. It turns out that reader also gave us a good tip. The bus service acknowledges the increase and says that the route is the most efficient for its buses. We welcome all tips and comments from readers. Your tips are very helpful!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Email: Editor@GCNews.com

555 Stewart “public”hearing

To the Editor: How can this possibly be construed as a PUBLIC meeting when it is being held at 2:00 PM in the afternoon on Monday May 13? I think it would be better attended if it were held in the evening to allow more working residents to attend. For the life of me, I cannot understand why the taxpayers of the State, County and Village are being asked to subsidize this private development? If it cannot stand on it’s own financially, let it die. That is what real Capitalism is about, not this crony capitalism being foisted on the taxpayers. I can understand the developer wanting an under attended hearing, but how does the Board of Trustees square their fiduciary responsibility to the Village by condoning a midday hearing? Let the people speak on this matter, by holding a second evening hearing. Vox populi! Thomas P. Brosnan

Obvious solution to parking issue

To the Editor: The recent controversy about the use of parking lot 7N in Garden City seems to me to have an obvious, relatively simple, and fair resolution which I have not seen proposed in the recent articles and letters to the Garden City News. If I am mistaken and what I am about to propose has been considered and rejected for some reason, I would appreciate knowing why this proposal has been found unacceptable. Residents of the apartment buildings adjacent to this lot could, after submitting an application for one such permit per apartment, be issued parking stickers, for which a nominal application fee could reasonably be charged to cover the administrative costs of processing each application. Similarly, parking permits could be issued to the owners and employees of the businesses on the north side of 7th Street. Permits would See page 28

Go Green with Kelly & Colleen Simple Tips for Family and Environmental Health BY COLLEEN CIULLO AND KELLY SMITH In the second monthly edition of “Going Green,” we discuss single-use plastics, and how to take practical steps to eliminate them from your everyday life gradually. Many American households depend on plastics because they are versatile and convenient, but they are also nonbiodegradable, which makes them a constant source of unsightly litter and irreversible harm to the environment. The tradeoff for convenience is water and air pollution that poses a severe risk to wildlife and our planet. By adopting simple changes at the consumer-level, we can substantially decrease the negative impact that plastics have on air quality, water

systems, and wildlife. Changing our habits regarding single-use plastics will help put pressure on manufacturers to find environmentally-friendly plastic alternatives, and will help encourage stronger regulations to protect environmental and public health. Being conscious of the plastics we use every day, and exploring ways to reduce, reuse, and refuse them, will create a collective positive impact over time.

Single-Use Plastics: Reduce, Reuse, Refuse!

Action Items: 1. Learn about which plastics are recyclable in Garden City, and make a conscious effort to recycle as much See page 29

CPOA meeting May 14 The Central Property Owners Association is hosting its monthly meeting on Tuesday, May 14 at the Garden City Senior Center at Golf Club Lane

beginning at 7:30 pm. All CPOA residents are invited to attend the monthly meeting.

Public hearing planned The Nassau County Industrial Development Agency will be holding a public hearing on the proposed tax breaks for the 150 unit apartment complex planned for 55 Stewart Avenue. The owners of the property, Southern Land Company, have sought exemptions from mortgage recording taxes,

sales and use taxes as well as a reduction in property taxes. Instead of paying full property taxes, the owners would reduced make “payments in lieu of taxes” to the village and school district. The public hearing is scheduled for Monday, May 13th at 2 p.m. at Garden City Village Hall.

can be brought in to evaluate their condition we won’t know how much can be retained,” he said. “Specifications for the job will reflect this and it will contain different plans based off of the amount of bricks that can be reused.” The bricks are original to the station, which was built in 1907, according to Village Historian William Bellmer. The only changes that have been made are the elimination of a center island, which was replaced by asphalt, and a slight extension to the north, he noted. The Village intends on also repairing the surrounding walls, which once had terra cotta vases atop them at each station entrance. There is $765,000 in the 2019-20 capital budget earmarked for brickwork at the station. This amount, however, is

expected to be reimbursed by the Long Island Rail Road, according to Village Treasurer Irene Woo. The MTA/LIRR has created a fund for each Village that is affected by the third track project. The Village plans on applying the funds from this account to this project. “At this time it’s too early in the process to determine what the cost of this project will be due to the significant variables involved,” Mr. DiFrancisco said. Numerous residents have contacted Mayor Theresa Trouvé feeling sentimental about the parking lot and the bricks in it. “We have to be practical and realistic. We need a good lot that takes the beating that it gets,” Mayor Trouvé said. “We all appreciate and understand that, but hopefully we can do something with those old bricks.” Photos courtesy of Village Historian William Bellmer

he Board of Trustees and staff continue to work on numerous projects, including improvements to the Village’s infrastructure, the LIRR Third Track and its impact on Garden City, the water tank replacement project, the concept plan for the former St. Paul’s School building and other matters. I encourage you to attend Village Board of Trustees meetings; the schedule can be found on the Village’s website, www.gardencityny.net.

Public Hearing May 9th

A public hearing is scheduled for Thursday, May 9, on a proposed Local Law to authorize a temporary Pilot Program of restricted parking at the western side of Garden City Parking Field 7 which entails 29 parking spaces which will be designated for a period of up to one year for persons residing in the premises adjacent to Field 7N, at a fee of $275 for the duration of the Pilot Program. Additional spots may be needed at the discretion of the Village. The Police Department sent a questionnaire to 104 residents of 67 Hilton Avenue and received 46 total responses; 26 residents were in favor of the $275 parking permit, 19 residents were not and one resident returned the survey but did not provide an answer. Two residents requested two permits each. The pilot program for Field 7N would designate parking spots along the west end of the lot, near Hilton Hall, for permitted resident parking only; 20 spots against the apartment building; seven spots just to the south; and two additional spaces in the southwest corner of the lot. Permits, at a cost of $275, would be in effect 24 hours a day/seven days a week for a full year beginning on the date of issuance. Signage in the rest of the lot will be adjusted as well. The hearing will take place during the regular Board of Trustees meeting, which is scheduled to begin at 8:00 p.m. in the Village Hall Board Room.

Pesticides

As part of the Village’s Integrated Pest Management Turf Program, pesticide applications will be made to prevent grub damage on athletic field turf.

According to the New York Governor’s Traffic Safety Committee (GTSC), statistics show unrestrained or improperly restrained occupants account for 21 percent of highway deaths in New York, greater than alcohol-related factors and speeding.

As mentioned in last week’s column, this is the bust of Garden City’s founder A. T. Stewart located at the Garden City Railroad Station. It was placed there fifty years ago in 1969 during Garden City’s centennial. It faces west toward New York City where he made his fame and fortune. The column it rests on is from the old Penn Station torn down in the 1960’s. As far as I know it has never been properly cleaned and restored. There are companies that do just that and this year would be an appropriate time to do it during Garden City’s 150th Anniversary. In fact, it probably could get done without even hiring a consultant!

The Rev. Morgan Mercer Ladd On Sunday, May 5, The Rev. Morgan Mercer Ladd gave the reflection at the annual Arbor Day Tree Dedication Ceremony at Old Westbury Gardens. Ladd is the Minor Canon for Family Ministries at the Cathedral of the Incarnation in Garden City. At the reflection, Ladd gave thanks for all those memorialized with the gift of trees this year, including Sandra D. DeMille, longtime Garden City resident and member of the Cathedral congregation. Ladd said in her remarks, “When we look at trees, we often see objects – objects that are beautiful and decorative, or objects that are useful and need to be tended or managed. But when biologist David George Haskell looks at trees, he doesn’t just see their beauty, even though they are often quite beautiful. And he doesn’t just see their utility, even though the presence of trees is necessary for the health and vibrancy of our whole world… and by extension you and me. What Haskell sees when he looks at trees – in their biological makeup, in the ways they grow, in how they nurture life – is a reflection of how we, too, are made to live with them and with each other. “In his book ‘The Song of Trees,’ Haskell writes: ‘For the Homeric Greeks, kleos, fame, was made of song. Vibrations in air contained the measure and memory of a

person’s life. To listen was therefore to learn what endures. I turned my ear to trees, seeking ecological kleos. I found no heroes, no individuals around whom history pivots. Instead, living memories of trees, manifest in their songs, tell of life’s community, a net of relations. We humans belong within this conversation, as blood kin and incarnate members. To listen is therefore to hear our voices and those of our family. To listen to trees, nature’s great connectors, is therefore to learn how to inhabit the relationships that give life its source, substance, and beauty.’ “As the trees that we dedicate here grow strong and tall, they become living reflections of the simple truth that our greatest legacy is the way our lives touch, enrich, and nurture the lives of others. This is the legacy of the loved ones we remember today, and these trees, given in their honor, remind us that of all the things we accomplish in this life, it is the love we give and share with others that endures.” This summer, Ladd will lead a program for children and parents called “Seedlings,” providing an opportunity for families to grow together through hands-on outdoor projects. The 6-week program will focus on these of creation care and environmental stewardship. For more information, visit www.incarnationgc.org/grow.

Jillian Yoo BY MELVA VICTORINO On Sunday, May 12, at 9:15 am, Jillian Yoo will speak at the Sunday Forum Series at Garden City Community Church (GCCC) on “Spirituality Lived: Collective Trauma in Israel & Spiritual Implications for Healing.” The community is invited to join us in the Church Parlor. Jillian Yoo has been a member of the Garden City Community Church since childhood. Attending mission trips and being confirmed at GCCC led her to serve as a summer missionary with Next Step Ministries in 2014 and 2015. She graduated from Fordham University with a bachelor’s degree in business sdministration and minor in sustainable business in 2016 and began her master’s education at New York University in 2017. Jillian is pursuing a two-tiered clinical doctorate in occupational therapy, focusing her portfolio on spirituality as an occupation of daily living and its implications on victims of trauma. After taking a two-week course in Israel this January on disability in a global context, she was inspired to share these experiences with her church clergy and community and begin a dialogue on how we can begin to heal traumas in our own lives. Jillian shares, “The complexities of Israeli history and culture are intricately woven into modern conceptions of The Holy Land, a place well-known for its political and religious conflict. Collective trauma shapes the country of Israel, seeping

into the lives of individuals of varying abilities and impacting their daily lives, occupations, and values. This forum explores the collective trauma of Israelis and the path to post-traumatic growth, defining spiritual practices that lead to healing. We will explore spirituality through the lens of occupational therapy and learn how spiritual practices can foster resilience. As a community, we will gather to discuss spirituality lived in the Israeli context and in the context of our lives.” Jillian is one of the Confirmation Leaders at GCCC, who gave of her time unconditionally these past two years. She lives in Garden City with her parents, Ed and Kathy and her sister, Jessica. The Garden City Community Church is part of the United Church of Christ and is an open and affirming congregation that welcomes people of all ages, races, gender identities, and sexual orientations to participate in the life of its community. Worship services are Sundays at 8:30 am in our Chapel and at 10:30 am in our Sanctuary. Wednesday Service is at 8:00 pm in Gardner Hall. There is a Church school for children and a crib room for infants and toddlers during the 10:30 am service.

Student winners from the local level have the opportunity to move up through their district, region, council and state PTA programs to the national level. National Reflections winners are celebrated annually at National PTA’s Convention & Expo in June. The theme for the 2019-2020 program year is Look Within.

THE VIEW FROM HERE

The Derby Disqualification BY BOB MORGAN, JR. It’s a horse racing story, but the disqualification of Maximum Security from first to 17th place in last Saturday’s Kentucky Derby, and the placement of longshot Country House as the winner of the race, is something of a microcosm of a number of trends of modern life. Full disclosure. I had a small Derby bet on Maximum Security across the board and an even smaller across the board bet on Honor Code, who eventually was moved up from third to second after the disqualification. Overall, I had a loss on the race of about $20. I know that under the rules of racing, a horse is supposed to be disqualified if the horse impedes another runner so that the impeded horse loses a placing in the race. I also know that, as in many sports, the rules are not always enforced as written, and that there is a substantial degree of discretion allowed officials. For example, in the NHL, referees usually swallow their whistles during overtime in playoff games, even for rather clear fouls. I follow racing enough, and have seen enough inquiries, to know that discretion is often a key component of a decision by the stewards. No horse was ever disqualified from first place for a riding violation in the 144 previous runnings of the Kentucky Derby, which dates from 1875. While no one would ever want a repetition of the 1933 running of the Derby, this race featured two jockeys grabbing at each other as they approached the finish, one trying to pull off the other’s saddle. (There were fines and suspensions, but no disqualifications.) This disinclination to change the order of finish in the Derby reasonably could be interpreted by jockeys and trainers as a license to be aggressive. On balance, I come out against the stewards’ decision to disqualify Maximum Security for a number of reasons. There was no notice of a change in the tradition of allowing riders wide latitude in the Derby. Much more fundamentally, the inter-

ference on the turn, which was real, was against horses who did not run on after the foul and did not affect Country House, the declared winner. For example, it would have been a different story if War of Will, who was probably affected most by the interference, had come on to run a strong third, beaten just a few lengths. Under the totality of the circumstances, I believe that the stewards, who initially did not initiate an inquiry into the race (the review was triggered by jockeys’ objections), should have used their discretion to keep Maximum Security, clearly the best horse in the race, as the winner. This is not to say that there was no support whatever for the decision to disqualify Maximum Security. You obviously have to begin with the fact that there was a real foul committed, even if it did not significantly prejudice the declared winner. Moreover, as I said earlier, the Derby disqualification was something of a microcosm of our society. Minute official reviews of sporting events have become very widespread. More importantly, animal welfare issues have become more important (not in itself a bad thing) and there is sentiment, particularly in California, to ban the sport altogether in the wake of a wave of equine fatalities at Santa Anita racetrack. The interference incident in the Derby did create momentary peril for a number of the runners and this could have factored into the disqualification decision. The last thing the sport needed on Saturday was a pileup of horses in America’s most famous race. Not surprisingly, President Trump decided to weigh in on the Derby, declaring in a Tweet that “Only in these days of political correctness could such an overturn occur. The best horse did NOT win the Kentucky Derby - not even close!?” But whether you buy into Mr. Trump’s hyperbolic pronouncement or not, there was a great deal of room for second guessing the stewards’ decision.

Every year the youth of the Garden City Community Church (GCCC) take a week away from their summer vacations to travel to another part of the country and serve a community in need. This summer will be no different. From July 7–13, 47 youth and leaders will travel to Skid Row in Los Angeles, California. Working in partnership with Next Step Ministries, the GCCC youth will team up with incredible local organizations: Union Rescue Mission, Hope Gardens, and Enrich LA. Union Rescue Mission is a ministry that helps thousands of people get off the streets and build a new life through short and longterm services. Hope Gardens is an extension of Union Rescue Mission and is an oasis of hope with transitional housing for women and children to carry each family from homelessness to independence within three years. Enrich LA is a community wellness non-profit organization that builds edible gardens in local schools, focusing on low-income and under-served

neighborhoods of Los Angeles. Partnering with these incredible organizations, the GCCC youth will learn about the city of Los Angeles and begin to understand homelessness as a concept. They will be positively impacting the lives of the homeless and bringing hope to those in need. To accomplish this ministry, the youth have been on a fundraising campaign since last year and still have a long way to go. What better way to contribute to their ministry than to burn some calories and at the same time support them as they prepare for this mission trip. One of their fundraisers will be on Sunday, May 19: “Ride 4 LA 2” at Garden City CycleBar, located at 950 Franklin Avenue, Garden City. Due to limited bikes, registration is recommended (http://bit. ly/2OCWHOc) with a suggested donation of $35.00. Doors open at 1:30 pm and ride starts at 2:00 pm. The minimum age to ride is 13. For any questions, please contact tacpletcher@gmail.com or call 516-652-3384 or visit our website www.thegccc.org.

Friday, May 10, 2019 The Garden City News

In honor of the Village of Garden City’s 150th Anniversary, the Garden City News and the Garden City Historical Society are pleased to present a serialization of Mrs. Mildred H. Smith’s iconic “History of Garden City,” which was originally published in 1963. For the next half year we will publish excerpts from the book each week.

Chapter 5 The Garden CIty Company

Its role as a Cathedral Town did not, however, prevent Garden City from going through a new cycle of difficult years. Four months after the dedication ceremony, Mrs. Stewart died on October 17, 1886, in her eightyfirst year, and was buried three days later in the crypt of the new Cathedral. Once more future plans for the Village were in doubt, and this time for the Cathedral Corporation as well. Mrs. Stewart’s estate had become more involved and complicated since her husband’s death ten years before, partly because of the expenses and commitments in connection with the Memorial Church and Schools, and partly because of a series of claims which had been made against the estate by alleged or genuine relatives of the deceased merchant. Now, soon after Mrs. Stewart’s death, still further claims were instituted and old ones revived. These, although tedious, could be dealt with, but it was Mrs. Stewart’s own will which, six months later, was to be the cause of a much more difficult and dramatic series of legal battles. These were to last three years, and during that time the Cathedral Corporation, which had already been laboring under an insufficient yearly endowment, had to wait for its promised permanent one; and the Village of Garden City, equally unfortunate, had to drift along under the unpopular management of Mr. Cunliff and the parsimonious control of Henry Hilton. Under the terms of the will, approximately $2,500,000 had been left in legacies or annuities to Mrs. Stewart’s close relatives. The rest of the estate, estimated at ten times that amount, had been left in trust to her nephew Charles J. Clinch and to Henry Hilton, both of whom were also to act as executors. Since Mr. Clinch had almost immediately given Hilton his power-of-attorney and gone back to Paris, the terms of the will had virtually given Henry Hilton entire

control of and authority over most of Mrs. Stewart’s estate. This included the vast parcels of real estate, money investments, hotels and theatres in New York City and elsewhere, as well as the Cathedral properties, the Village of Garden City, and the Plains to the east. Inevitably Mrs. Stewart’s heirs, to say nothing of the hard-pressed Cathedral chapter, now rebelled against this limitless trusteeship and decided to combine forces to fight Hilton’s control and to achieve a partition of the estate. In early 1887 three different suits, charging fraud, deceit, mismanagement and undue influence, were filed against Mr. Hilton by the heirs, and in one suit also by the Cathedral Trustees. The three-year battle which followed was a legal classic, involving some of the most famous lawyers of the time, taxing the resources and patience of everyone concerned, and finally ending in a settlement out of court in 1890. The settlement and partition of the estate left Henry Hilton a very rich man still. His continued possession of the A.T. Stewart business was certified, and he was allotted the Globe Theatre and other parcels of real estate in New York City as well as a generous amount of bank stock. But although he was allowed to remain executor of the estate, his trusteeship was legally ended and with it his control of the rest of the estate and of the Village of Garden City and the Cathedral Corporation, which now received its promised endowment of $800,000, full possession of its eighty acres of church land, and the promise of a new building for St. Mary’s School. From this time on Mr. Hilton seems to have dropped out of Garden City and Cathedral affairs, and it is doubtful if he ever visited the Village again. The rest of his life was spent in dissipating his great wealth through unwise management of his great mercantile business (eventually bought by John Wanamaker), in fighting continuing law suits and in eventual retirement to his large Saratoga estate. The settlement and partition of the estate assigned the remainder of Mrs. Stewart’s estate to her heirs, who subsequently liquidated large portions of it and made plans to consolidate what remained. This was of the greatest importance to the future of Garden City, because instead of dividing and breaking up the “Stewart Purchase” on Long Island or allowing promotors to get hold of the Village and the

The Village, with its 60 houses, hotel, church buildings and railroad, as taken over by the Garden City Company in 1893. thousands of acres to the east, the heirs decided to manage this holding jointly. It took a few years to arrange, but by 1893 the 5,000 acres of empty Plains east of Clinton Road to Bethpage were divided into large parcels and incorporated separately as the Hempstead Plains Company and The Merillon Estate respectively. In January of the same year, the 2,600 acres west of Clinton Road were incorporated as the Garden City Company by the heirs and a few close friends who were invited to participate. Capitalized at $2,500,000, the Corporation’s purposes were “to continue the development of the Village as a residential community,” and “to acquire, hold, sell, lease and otherwise manage or dispose of real estate and personal property in Queens County, Long Island.” Headquarters for the new business were immediately set up in the old “estate” building near the Hotel, and Mr. Cunliff was temporarily retained as a manager. A New York office was opened at the same time. The formation of a corporation with these wider and less personal

aims came as a relief to everyone connected with the Village. Although Garden City was still to be governed and controlled by outsiders, its development was now assured, and along lines which would create wholesome changes. Almost immediately Mr. and Mrs. Stewart’s firm policy of keeping the property in their own hands gave way to a cautious new one of offering land for sale at $10 a front foot to persons who were approved by the management. As an item from a Building and Loan News of the period expressed it: “The title to the property has been placed in the hands of a Corporation, and building sites are to be disposed of only to those who really desire to erect cottages, in order to keep the town out of the hands of speculators.” Apparently it was high time for this step. Newspaper articles had quite frankly been referring to the Village as “a failure,” and had blamed that condition on the fact that the land had never been for sale and that the houses could only be rented. According to Mr. George L. Hubbell, who moved to Garden City with Mrs. Hubbell in

and south as well as to the east and west. For the expanding Village of Hempstead, the new railroad was even more welcome in that it provided a station in nearby West Hempstead. (It is no longer in use in Garden City, but still operates from West Hempstead to Valley Stream.) That same year, the Stewart heirs conveyed the fee of Mr. Stewart’s Central Railroad Company, from Floral Park to Bethpage, to the Long Island Rail Road, which had been operating it since 1876–thus consolidating the holdings of the line in the Garden City area. In spite of the new railroad, Garden City was anything but popular in the Township of Hempstead in 1893. The older villages looked down on the new one, which twenty-three years before had sprung into being on the empty Plains at the whim of a millionaire. They instinctively resented the fact that outside money had built the town, the two railroads, the Cathedral, the Church Schools, the biggest well and the widest streets. They found it hard to understand the “outsiders,” the heirs, who now owned the Village and the outlying Plains, but did not even live in the Village. As The New York World of July 28, 1893 expressed it: “There is a growing element in Hempstead that has always looked askance at Garden City. It is felt that it is too much of the kid-glove community to suit the ways of a home-spun town.” But the greatest resentment was caused by the assessment question which involved Garden City and Mr. Cunliff, who represented the heirs through the Garden City Company. During that year, Queens County Supervisors had fixed the 1893 taxes for the townships and had increased them considerably to meet the State Board’s demands. In equalizing the taxes between the townships, the Supervisors had added half a million dollars to those of the Township of Hempstead (which included Hempstead Village and Garden City), over and above its pro rata

share, bringing the rate to $1.64. This increase related to the assessed valuation placed upon the “Stewart Purchase,” which, according to the Supervisors, had been too low for years. Actually, the assessment had been ridiculously low ever since Mr. Stewart had purchased the land in 1869 for $55 an acre. Being unimproved land at the time, the entire purchase had been assessed by Hempstead Town Assessors at the minimum rate. By 1892, in spite of immediate and subsequent improvements, it was still being assessed throughout at $25 an acre. In 1893, the Board of Assessors timidly raised the assessment to $42, which was still far too low to meet the Supervisors’ additional increase for the Township. Mr. Cunliff, quite naturally, had used whatever influence he could muster over the years to keep the rates at a low level; and when he heard of the Board’s action he immediately filed a protest against the new assessment, claiming it to be excessive. This put the Township in an unhappy situation. If Mr. Cunliff were to succeed in his protest, the Township as a whole would have to bear the burden. Inevitably, indignation and hard feeling against Garden City, the heirs, Mr. Cunliff, and the local assessors, burst out in press and pulpit, or wherever two or three people gathered together. Feeling was to run even higher when Supervisor Edward Townsend made a political football of the matter. Besides being a County Supervisor, elected on the Democratic ticket, Mr. Townsend controlled The Oyster Bay Pilot and The Jamaica Standard. Through these papers he started his campaign against the Garden City Company and the Republican Mr. Cunliff, calling himself “the man who dares to fling the gauntlet at the feet of the heirs of A.T. Stewart.” His battle cry was “No discrimination. Treat rich and poor alike. … Why should the hardworking farmer be taxed more in proportion

than the millionaire speculators?” In April 1893, The Pilot wrote: “A very important question will be decided in the Town of Hempstead this year at the elections, whether the farmers and small taxpayers will continue to bear more than their just share of the burden of government, or whether land which owners are holding at 2 to 5 thousand dollars an acre, should be assessed at $25 or $30 an acre. I refer of course to the Garden City Company. The people are getting tired on nonresident landlords and are asking why this corporation is unduly favored. … The people of the town of Hempstead have carried the Garden City property along for nothing about long enough. Besides this, the Cathedral with its worshipping machinery cost more than $2,000,000 and St. Paul’s School and plant a million at least, … and they are all exempt from taxation.” A few days later The Pilot went even further when it wrote: “One of the Assessors last year was a paid employee of the Stewart heirs, so two and two can easily be put together. The thing the Company can do is to secure a manager of their property who will let politics alone.” Mr. Cunliff stood firm, however, and the application of the Garden City Company for a writ of certiorari to review the assessment was served and later referred to the Supreme Court in Brooklyn. The case was further complicated by the heirs and two or three other shareholders who demanded that the Stewart properties east and west of Clinton Road be assessed separately, and not lumped together. Eventually the matter was cleared up; separate assessments were made; assessed valuations were raised from $365,625 in 1892 to $480,500 in 1895, and in 1896 the Town of Hempstead received from the Garden City Company and the heirs of Mrs. Stewart, back taxes for the years 1893-4-5 totaling $17,206.07. The Town, however, had to pay the cost of litigation and counsel fees.

1891, the place was “long on land and short on residents”; streets of empty lots stood forlornly surrounded with broken-down fence pickets, jokingly called “Stewart’s ribs” by visitors; and many of the 60 houses were still unrented when the Hubbells arrived in town. Now, under the new regime, the young couple won the approval of Mr. Cunliff, and pioneered in 1893 in buying land on First Street and Cathedral Avenue. That same year Mr. Baldwin and Mr. Cowl bought and built nearby, and others eventually followed suit in other parts of the Village. Mr. Hubbell’s move to Garden City was connected with the Long Island Rail Road’s plans for a new branch line which was to run southwest from the Village. Having worked for the railroad in various departments, Mr. Hubbell was now purchasing agent, and in that capacity was to procure the right-of-way for the new line and to implement its construction. Accordingly, in 1892, The New York Bay Extension Railroad was incorporated to build a cross-Island branch from Hempstead Crossing in Garden City to Valley Stream, from which point it was to skirt Jamaica Bay, join the Bay Ridge division of the Manhattan Beach Railway, and run to the water front. Its object was to connect with the existing branch to the north between Mineola and Oyster Bay, and to develop passenger and freight traffic across the Island, and also to New England and New Jersey by means of ferry connections. President Corbin’s ambitious hopes for the inter-state connections of his railroad were never realized, but with Mr. Hubbell in charge, the new line was built from Garden City as far as Valley Stream. Finished in 1893, it was operated by the Long Island Rail Road as Lessee, and became a useful cross-County line, and even served as a bi-weekly excursion route between Oyster Bay and Far Rockaway in the summer. It was important to Garden City in the nineties in that it linked the Village with those to the north

Thoughts on Mother BY CAROL ANDERSON

As the sun rises and sets, as the tides ebb and flow, we are here today and will never forget just what we owe to the woman of our past, that inspiring figure who will outlast our childhood and continue into our dreams. Our mother, who is easily so very much more than she seems. Her guidance and stroking took away our fears of the boogeyman in our earliest years. Her continued care was ever there when we needed an ear to listen to how unfair the outside world was to each of us. Mother constantly took our side and put up a fuss. Always aware of what was out there, she took great care to ensure that what we felt in our hearts was always a part of our inner core, the armor she wore became a portion of her gift to us. A treasure indeed – our mother – our need. The urgency of her

feelings kept us close. Protected by her strengths, we grew into the light. Reflected in her eyes, her love taught us much. Her touch was magic, soothing hurts almost before they occurred. All power resided in her, and she was a benevolent ruler. When we ponder on our childhood, one figure simply and completely outshines the rest. Mother was an onward reward; in our defense, a sharpened sword. She reared us and endeared herself to us. A horde of delight from deepest morn to darkest night, her breath is the fragrance we continue to crave all our lives. She has endlessly given us her best; we have supplied the rest. We are forever indebted to this woman for the splendor of our lives. Carol Anderson from thepoetaroundthecorner@aol.com 12 May 2019

A tribute to mothers

To the Editor: We would like to bring to the attention of your Garden City News readers that in today’s issue we have placed a beautiful, full-page Mother’s Day

Tribute. This tribute is intended to express the sincere admiration we have for all mothers in their most sacred role of cooperating with God’s Divine Plan to nurture and protect children, born and pre-born. We recognize the special love that a mother has for her child, and we join as a community to thank each and every mother for having the room in her heart to give her child the most precious gift of all - the gift of life. The tribute also reaches out to mothers who are facing difficult pregnancies by providing them with the names of confidential and caring, professional agencies that provide life-affirming assistance to mothers in need. We understand and want to help them with their babies whose tiny hearts began beating 18 days after conception. For confidential assistance with a pregnancy and information about alternatives to abortion call The Life Center in Hempstead at 516-408-6300 or www. aaapregnancyoptions.com; Regina Residence in Merrick at 516-223-7888 or www.catholiccharities.cc/our-services/ regina-maternity-services; Birthright in Wantagh at (516) 785-4070, or MOMMAS HOUSE in Wantagh at 516-781-8637 or info@mommashouse.org. For couples having difficulty conceiving a child, the Gianna Center for Women’s Health and Fertility, located at Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center, 1000 Montauk Highway, West Islip, NY 11795, offers a highly regarded and successful infertility program that provides specialized obstetrical and gynecological care to women, while honoring both their dignity and the sanctity of human life. The Gianna Center’s skilled staff, headed by Dr. Paul Carpentier, MD, CFCMC, helps

couples diagnose and treat underlying causes of infertility to help them conceive naturally. The Gianna Center can be reached at 631-376-3232. For women who have experienced an abortion and may be seeking healing and confidential counseling, the wonderfully gentle Sisters of Life in Manhattan offer a caring program for post-abortive women. They will hold a Day of Prayer and Healing for Women on Saturday, May 25, 2019.

Go Green with Kelly & Colleen Simple Tips for Family and Environmental Health

From page 2 plastic as possible. 2. Explore new ways to reduce/ reuse/refuse the single-use plastics you encounter every day.

Why You Should Care:

New York lawmakers recently voted to ban single-use plastic bags from retail sales, becoming the second state to do so. Governor Cuomo specifically cited the harm caused by plastic pollution as the reason for the ban, which takes full effect in March 2020. “[T] hese bags have blighted our environment and clogged our waterways,” the governor stated, adding that the ban would “protect our natural resources for future generations of New Yorkers.” (The New York Times, March 28, 2019.) Indeed, public awareness of the consequences of unchecked plastic consumption has heightened since numerous reports of whales being found dead off the coasts of Sardinia, Philippines, Indonesia, and Spain, some with as much as 88 pounds of plastic in their bodies, have been published by sources like The New York Times. In the most recent discovery, a pregnant sperm whale had died after consuming 48 pounds of plastic, “including disposable dishes, a corrugated tube, shopping bags, and a detergent bottle with its barcode still visible.” (The New York Times, April 2, 2019). We are accustomed to being a throwaway culture, yet the plastics we discard are not disappearing from our lives. The United Nations estimates that every minute, the equivalent of a garbage truckload of plastic enters the ocean, which adds up to more than 8 million tons of plastic waste filling the oceans each year. New research finds that conventional plastics compound their adverse environmental effects because they release greenhouse gases when exposed to sunlight. As single-use plastics break down, they become microplastics. Microplastics are omnipresent in the environment, particularly in water systems. Insects, fish, and birds, consume these plastics, and they move up the food chain, eventually to humans. Studies have detected microplastics in a wide range of products including drinking water, beer, honey, sugar, table salt, and many types of seafood. The Microbeads-Free Waters Act of 2015 began to tackle this problem by banning rinse-off cosmetics, such as exfoliating beads, from using microplastics. While this is one source of microplastics, they enter the ecosystem in a variety of ways. Larger plastic items, including single-use bottles, break down into microplastics over time. Laundering synthetic clothing is also a persistent source of microplas-

tics, which are released during washing and enter municipal water supplies because filters do not capture them. More research is necessary to fully understand the cumulative impact of microplastics on humans and ecosystems. Regulations are also essential to protect human food and water safety from microplastics, especially because some plastics contain chemicals that have known toxic effects, such as endocrine disruption. Commendably, The Village of Garden City has expanded its plastic recycling efforts to include plastics numbers 1-7, which helps decrease the amount of plastics entering landfills and waterways. Residents can do their part by looking for the number stamped on the bottom of each plastic container that they are about to discard. If it’s stamped with any number up to 7, rinse the container thoroughly and place it in the recycling bin. There are also both trash compactors and recycling bins located throughout the Garden City business district, and the recycling bins accept more than you may think. Of course bottles, cans, and newspapers are recyclable, but also paper coffee cups, plastic food containers, plastic beverage cups and lids, and even yogurt cups can be recycled. Knowing which everyday household items are recyclable, and making a conscious effort to dispose of them properly, is an example of a small step that can make a real difference over time. According to the United Nations, consumers in the United States sort only 14% of plastics for recycling, and shockingly, only 9% of all plastics ever made have been recycled. In 2018, China banned the import of many recyclable plastics, so the United States and other countries are now sending these formerly recyclable plastics to landfills or incinerators, creating more land and air pollution. While recycling certainly helps decrease plastic pollution, the greener and more effective, approach is to look for ways to reduce, reuse, and refuse the single-use plastics that creep into our everyday lives.

Reduce!

For ways to reduce our dependence on single-use plastics, the Village of Garden City and its residents need not look any further than Adelphi University, which continues to pioneer and develop sensible plastic-reliance reduction strategies across campus. Currently, Adelphi has eliminated plastic straws and take-out bags and limits plastics throughout dining services. For take away options, the university offers either reusable containers or recyclable soy-based containers that are easier to recycle than single-use plastics. These practical and considerate decisions

have a real positive impact on the environment and demonstrate how simple solutions can become the norm within a community. A growing number of businesses within the Village also take environmental stewardship into account when making purchasing decisions. Many Garden City restaurants now offer sustainable alternatives to takeout containers, plasticware, and carry-out bags, while others cut down on waste by utilizing real dishes and silverware for customers who dine in. We have a lot of power as consumers to make a significant difference regarding plastic pollution by supporting the establishments that are making efforts to reduce plastic waste, acknowledging their environmentally-conscious practices, and urging other businesses to follow suit.

Reuse!

Many companies offer new products that help consumers reduce their reliance on single-use plastics. These products include mesh produce bags and sturdy canvas grocery bags, both of which are easy to launder, throw in the car, and take along to the store, again and again. The wholesaler Thrive Market (www.thrivemarket.com) offers a variety of reusable alternatives to plastic packaging, as well as other green and environmentally-friendly products. Additionally, many coffee shops, including Starbucks, are happy to fill reusable travel mugs rather than use disposable cups, with some even offering a discount to environmentallyconscious customers. Pack school lunches and snacks into reusable bags or lidded metal containers, such as the ones offered by Pottery Barn Kids (www.potterybarnkids.com) rather than plastic baggies. Aluminum foil, which can be recycled, is also a green alternative to plastic baggies. Encourage your child to bring his or her garbage home from school, so that you can sort it properly, together. Some companies are giving plastics a new lease on life in unexpected and ingenious ways. Rothy’s (www.rothys.

com), a shoe manufacturer, turns single-use bottles into comfortable, stylish and washable shoes. Launching in 2019, the French company Loop will offer conventional products in reusable, refillable containers, further eliminating consumer plastic waste. Even the reusable grocery bags now being sold at grocery chains like Kings are made from recycled plastic, and are, themselves, recyclable when they have outlived their usefulness. Consumer pressure historically leads to substantial plastic reduction. In late 2018, Trader Joe’s announced many significant changes to reduce and remove plastic packaging due, in large part, to customer opinions and suggestions. Consumers have the power to encourage the continuation of environmentally-proactive trends by acknowledging them in the marketplace and requesting other businesses to make similar sensible changes.

Refuse!

You run into the pharmacy to pick up a greeting card, a pack of gum, or a prescription. Do you really need that plastic bag to carry it out of the store? You order your usual latte, which you plan to enjoy in the coffee shop. Do you really need the plastic lid? The plastic stirrer? The cardboard sleeve? You sit down to lunch and the waiter brings you a refreshing glass of ice water. Do you really need to unwrap the plastic straw? Our everyday routines present several opportunities to turn down single-use plastics politely. Refusing these small conveniences may at first feel trifling or unnecessary, but over time, you will build habits that lead to real change, and perhaps even inspire others around you to do the same. Please reach out to us with your thoughts and comments. We welcome your questions or ideas for future topics. Please email us at: GoGreenwithKellyandColleen@gmail. com. We look forward to greening Garden City together.

STEM activities in FLES at Stratford

SCHOOL AND CAMP DIRECTORY 2019

AND SCHOOLS

German is for Everyone

Stratford FLES students share the stores they created. BY WILLIAM KUPFERMAN, FLES TEACHER Fifth-grade FLES students at Stratford School have been hard at work on a project combining Spanish, art, and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math). After learning the vocabulary for stores commonly found in Spanish speaking countries, students delved deeper into how shopping is typically done in the countries. They learned that the plazas are the center of most Spanish speaking cities and towns, and that a communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stores are very likely to be found in these areas. In an attempt to better help students understand Hispanic culture, they also explored the likelihood of people to shop for fresh food daily, and how that often combines with socialization in plazas with friends and families. The students viewed a slide show of pictures of stores and plazas in Mexico to give them an example from one country. With a firm grasp on the concepts at hand, students began exploring the stores and plazas of a Spanish speaking country of their choice using their Chromebooks. They were tasked with paying close attention to details such as architectural design, color of buildings, building materials, etc. After deciding on a store from a specific country and area (for example, a small town

in Argentina or a big city in Peru), they began to design their own stores incorporating the architectural components of those they had found in their research. When it came to the actual physical design of the buildings themselves, students were tasked with adding three-dimensional aspects, making use of materials such as felt, popsicle sticks, beads, construction paper, and cardboard. They were very excited and got to work constructing three-dimensional bakeries, fish stores, restaurants, fruit stores, pharmacies, butcher shops and markets. All work and design was based on actual photos the students found, and was done completely in Spanish. This project gave the fifth-graders great insight into the common set up of towns in the Spanish speaking world and some of the day-to-day activity that exists in such settings. Students truly came away with a feel for the communities they researched. They also developed a better understanding of the unique architectural styles of the Spanish speaking world. In addition, they were charged with finding creative ways to use everyday classroom materials to build, create, and complete their task. The students are extremely proud of their work - they have produced some incredible final products!

Garden City Day to kick off summer celebrations From page 1 cials encountered with preparation and planning for the Garden City Day celebration, which includes a 15-minute fireworks display that will be set off on the fields at Garden City Middle School and viewed by spectators from the grounds of St. Paul’s where festivities will abound from roughly 4 p.m. through 9 p.m. on Saturday May 25. “I think we should compose a letter and send it to all our neighbors on the periphery so that they’re not surprised and so that they understand. The fireworks (May 25) will take place on the fields of GCMS as the school district was good to work that out with us. The families around the periphery of St. Paul’s will be notified so that they are understanding the activities going on and that they’re calm with it,” Mayor Trouvé said. At the trustees’ meeting back on March 28, planning for a facilities use agreement between the school district and the village was approved by the Board. Trustee John Delany said Adelphi University should be instructed to do similar outreach when the August 25 fireworks display gets closer. Trustee Colleen Foley represents the Estates POA and she lives close to Adelphi. She offered clarity that Adelphi University makes efforts and for past fireworks or largescale events residents have been presented with flyers “several days in advance.” Hyer says at times there are complaints directed to the village administration, including in 2018. Foley said many residents were aware of fireworks and did watch them from streets in the local neighborhood. St. Paul’s Place resident George Salem said neighbors on his street and on Hampton Road “have unprotected backyards” and he was concerned with protection for people’s properties. Trustee Robert Bolebruch asked him what happens when lacrosse and soccer tournaments in the past have drawn thousands of people to St. Paul’s. Mayor Trouvé said she along with Police Commissioner Kenneth Jackson will be meeting with

a number of village staff and working on all of the details. Jackson said areas of St. Paul’s will be roped off and parking will be designated, but one month in advance he did not have the opportunity to examine areas where every activity or food vendor could be placed. “For parking we have have to utilize all available areas with roped off sections, and we will see what else we can do to create more parking spaces,” he said. Trustee Brian Daughney said residents could generally expect the same areas to be utilized as they find for the annual Turkey Trot, with parking along North Avenue and streets leading to St. Paul’s. Village Administrator Suozzi noted that the school district agreed to allow the public to use Garden City Middle School’s parking lot. The mayor noted that many people in Garden City have convenience to walk to St. Paul’s. George Salem joked and asked the Board if he could display a sign on his driveway, “$10 for Event Parking.” During public comments, Steve Ilardi of Meadow Street asked if the LIRR needs to be informed. Trustee Daughney said that the fireworks vendor, Pyro Engineering Inc. d/b/a Volt Live, was taking care of all necessary precautions and preparation.

A variety of food choices

When discussions for the village-wide celebration came up in March and early April, Mayor Trouvé made reference to serving refreshments. At the April 25 meeting she announced that the Memorial Day weekend event will feature a variety of food trucks at the grounds of St. Paul’s. This move takes the cost off the village and offers residents a chance to make purchases of food and beverage on their own. Residents who choose to can bring their own food or stop into local restaurants, with a comfortable walk over to 7th Street or Franklin Avenue from St. Paul’s. Garden City Police will be present at major roadway crossings to ensure pedestrians’ and families getting across safely. “Food trucks may sound a little Coney Island-ish but food trucks are en vogue. People will be offered a choice of food

trucks, hamburgers, hot dogs, steak, empanadas, possibly ice cream. Shake Shack even has a food truck. That transaction is between the truck operator and the guests. We were very pleased when we found out that this would work well for us,” the mayor said.

Comfort Station Renovation in Question

Former Mayor Brian Daughney questioned progress, or lack thereof, on the comfort station renovation at St. Paul’s. Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi said the village has monitored the situation there daily. “We have pointed out, not only to contractors’ teams on-site working but also to (consultants) Cameron Engineering who have overseen the project. We’re in constant contact with them. On Friday April 19 the engineer did his final inspection there and we had delivered my noted to them. The idea was to inspect if the restrooms’ tiles drained well if the floor was wet, and to look out for punch-list items -- 29 punch-list items were put together. The 30th item though was the unsatisfactory laying of the restroom tiles both on the walls and floors, pooling, discoloration, and sharp edges on the floor,” Suozzi explained. The administration and Village Attorney Peter Bee drafted a letter for the contractor stating that the village is “not in acceptance of this job, and we want all the tiles removed and replaced.” The project is bonded; if the contractor chooses not to do the work the village can move on and hire someone else; through a performance bond project any need to hire another contractor ‘to finish the job’ is covered by the original contractor. Trustee John Delany asked if there was a specific time frame for the contractor to comply or not comply with stated with the letter. Bee said the initial step the village took was having Cameron Engineering determine, through on-site inspection, what was wrong with the tilework and other items. “At this point in time I think the next step is to wait and have the contractor go back and give See page 46

Increase in bus traffic on Clinton Road From page 1 dle of the path where NICE buses go. We are using various different options of getting buses there and Clinton Road is a county road. It has truck traffic and commercial vehicle traffic on it now, and we (NICE) have options to use Clinton. We’ve tried and tested some different pilot routes in getting our buses to the bus depot at 700 Commercial Avenue,” Khzouz said. The reader submitted the following comment in an April 20 email to the News: “All of these buses are completely empty of passengers and are just shuttling back & forth between the 700 Commercial Avenue depot in “Garden City” -- aka Uniondale/Town of Hempstead’s ‘East Garden City’ -- and the Hempstead LIRR hub….This looks to be something that is to be permanent. It just does not seem fair especially with all the increased traffic and commercial vehicle traffic we are already seeing with the construction projects on ring road not to mention the general, overburdened road that is Clinton. An increase of 30 to 35% in bus traffic on one road seems excessive and certainly not something we should want; 1200 buses a week seems excessive especially considering we have five very scarcely used bus stops on Clinton,” the Clinton Road resident wrote. In addition, he contacted the Village of Garden City to no avail as the village was not required

to be involved with or privy to decisions made by NICE, a countywide transportation agency. Khzouz told the News this week the planning began with the most efficient way to transport a vehicle to a location, in this case NICE buses to 700 Commercial Avenue, “using as straight a line as possible.” In this case that line is Clinton Road. According to Khzouz there are no coordinating plans or necessary steps that need to be taken with Nassau County Public Works or the Nassau County Planning Department or the Department of Traffic Management. “We are our own agency and we have the ability to route vehicles anywhere in Nassau County on a county road or a state road; as long as it states “no trucks” then we are allowed to route vehicles along that road,” he said, adding that notice to area residents is not a required step either. Khzouz was appointed CEO of NICE Bus last August, and the decision for the use of Clinton Road came about in early April. One major factor in the decision by NICE was the improvement of road conditions and surfaces along Clinton Road thanks to pothole repairs. Since the start of the pilot route last month, some NICE buses have been rerouted off of Clinton Road. “We’ve been trying some alternatives to get our buses to the Rosa Parks Hempstead Transit Center. Our goal is to provide safe and reliable transportation to the citizens of Nassau County.

Garden City Day to kick off summer celebrations From page 45 us his response if he’s going to do the job over, or if he’s going to contest it. The ball is in their court,” Bee said. Village Administrator Suozzi said the contractor was late in delivering the work on time already, as the project was to be complete by the start of April. Trustee Louis Minuto says time is of the essence and based on the circumstances of the project, the village could decide to just back-charge the contractor through the performance bond. “It’s unacceptable work and we should not lollygag around looking for them to make rectifications. We should just go with somebody else...how hard is it to tile a bathroom? I could do it myself,”

he said. According to Suozzi an invoice from mid-April was not sent back with payment, as he’s signed it and put it aside. Trustee Delany insisted the village move forward with ways to see the project completed. Suozzi said the plans are to have portable toilets on-site for construction to take shape any time the comfort station was not required to be open for the public. However when the village’s celebration on the grounds of St. Paul’s comes up on Saturday May 25, according to Suozzi there will be a large temporary restroom set up to accommodate the crowd, “the type you see at fancy weddings where you have multiple bathrooms on a trailer.”

In doing that we need to be efficient with our resources. Efficiency within transit agencies is determined with having vehicles where they need to be as quickly as they need to be there. Using county assets to be able to do that (county roads) is the responsible way to approach transit in Nassau County. We continue to look into ways to be more efficient and again routing vehicles appropriately is one of the different tools we use,” Khzouz said. The NICE CEO added that he was aware of prior traffic management issues and public sentiments regarding Clinton Road, in particular the unpopular and “blocked” attempt by Nassau County to place an additional traffic light at the intersection of Clinton Road and Stewart Avenue. Khzouz commented that while other routes exist for NICE buses to go between Commercial Avenue and Hempstead Transit Center, that would merely shift the problem. “The other options would all go through residential (Garden City) neighborhoods. Clinton Road has been avoided as a route for buses for a long time due to its road conditions. The road conditions have improved and also traffic flow has improved along Clinton, thus that is why we use it. But somewhere in Nassau County, regardless of choice, someone would be getting buses going through their residential neighborhoods (on county or state roads). There is no reason why not to put buses

on Clinton Road,” he told the News. With a more positive outcome for bus routes servicing Garden City, Khzouz spoke about an increase to County Bus Route n40/41 -- up and down Franklin Avenue. “The n40/41 is one of NICE’s most popular routes and it is used very often, especially in morning hours. The bus connects the Mineola LIRR station (just north of the Old Country Road-Franklin Avenue intersection) with many points throughout Nassau County. We have just improved our service on n40/41 and made it a ‘headway route.’ Now riders do not even have to use a schedule…. you just step outside along Franklin Avenue stops during peak hours and a NICE bus is there every 12 minutes,” he said. Khzouz says the added conveniences of servicing LIRR commuters from Mineola as well as the populations visiting doctors offices, NYU-Winthrop and other businesses along Franklin Avenue, including a slew of new restaurants in Garden City, aims to reduce car traffic to the extent possible. “That’s the optimal case with local traffic and our role with NICE. But we can’t do that if we are restricted, if a resident decides he or she does not want a bus along their street. That is the reality of public transportation -- it’s public and we as a provider have to be able to get vehicles to where they have to be,” Khzouz explains.

Garden City volunteer firefighter Dan Roeper and police officer Steve Roumeliotis both received Law & Order Awards during ceremonies recently hosted by William Bradford Turner American Legion Post #265. Law and Order Awards recognize the outstanding contributions of top law enforcement, firefighting and emergency medical personnel and units. Firefighter Roeper moved back to Garden City in 2015 and shortly thereafter began pursuing a business management degree at Hofstra University. He wanted to use his spare time productively to give back to the community in which he grew up, so he joined the Garden City Fire Department in 2018. He immediately signed up for all his basic firefighter training and spent countless hours completing the requirements successfully. Firefighter Roeper continued beyond basic training, advancing his firefighting skills by training on multiple fire apparatus and equipment. Gaining all of this knowledge and skill, he then decided to assist in training the Department’s junior firefighters. He also signed up to help the Uniform

Committee, ensuring members are supplied and fitted properly. “His goals for the Fire Department are to continue advancement with all forms of training and potentially run for line officer down the road,” Chief Thomas Strysko said. “The Garden City Fire Department is proud and grateful to have Dan as a valuable member of this Department and looks forward to a long association.” Police Commissioner Ken Jackson nominated Officer Roumeliotis to receive this illustrious award for his dedication and efforts in making the Village’s schools safer. Officer Roumeliotis currently teaches the Department’s Pride Program (Drug and Alcohol Awareness) to fifth grade students. In addition, he has been instrumental in developing safety programs for the youth of Garden City, including but not limited to traffic safety, anti-bullying lectures and various school safety programs. Commissioner Jackson thanks Commander Tauches and William Bradford Turner Post 265 for recognizing the services of the police officers and firefighters of the Village.

Girls lacrosse finishes the regular season with 3 big wins

Junior defender Kaitrin Karr clears the ball up the field.

Junior goalie Tess Castellano made two saves against South Side.

The Garden City girls lacrosse team was busy this past week wrapping up its regular season with a game last Wednesday, May 1 against conference and Class B foe Long Beach. From the start, the Trojans would not be denied with senior captain Liana McDonnell winning the first draw and setting in motion GC’s potent offense. Sophomore Sydney Pappas took the first shot across the bow which was backed up by senior Ella Heaney who fed a cutting sophomore Alexandra Hopkins for the first goal of the game. GC won the ensuing draw and the ball found its way to ever-ready Heaney who this time fed senior captain Caitlin Cook for the score and putting GC ahead 2-0. Again, McDonnell would win the draw putting GC in position to attack the net yet again. This time, senior Jennifer Kubler rolled and dodged her way to the top of the arc before firing away and putting the Trojans ahead 3-0. Long Beach, sensing the need to cool the fire, called a time out. Cook scooped up the next draw sending the ball into the attack zone. The girls worked the ball around, and when the time was right, “Cookie” struck again for her second goal of the game and putting GC ahead 4-0. GC’s onslaught continued throughout the first half with another goal from Cook, two from McDonnell, and a second tally by Hopkins before the buzzer at which point the score stood at 8 to 2. In the second half, GC continued to dominate the draw and scored four more goals one each from senior Sarah Mackey and Pappas and two more from Cook. Long Beach was able to muster a little momentum and gained some ground scoring five additional goals. Senior captain Emily Gaven (11 saves) and her stalwart defenders Amanda Cerrato, Emma Ruckh, Katherine Staub and Olivia Kaval would not allow Long Beach much room to get back in the game. The final score was GC 12, Long Beach 7. On Saturday, May the 4th, in a town

far, far away, the force was with the Garden City girls lacrosse team as they traveled to Cross River to defeat the John Jay Indians 16-10 under the lights. From the start of that beautiful night, Garden City dominated the game. Although the Indians controlled the first draw, Caitlin Cook caused a turn over and got it back for the Trojans. Less than a minute into the game, Liana McDonnell found the back of the cage on an assist from Ella Heaney. Heaney followed up with a goal of her own. When Sydney Pappas followed up with a hat trick, Garden City was unstoppable. Alexandra Hopkins scored on a free possession, and McDonnell tallied a second point off another assist from Heaney. Just like last time, Heaney was ready to follow up with a goal of her own! In the play of the game, Heaney intercepted a clear from the John Jay goalie, raced past her defense and placed it in the Indians’ net, making the score 8-3. Before halftime, McDonnell would add two more goals, sophomore Madeleine O’Connor scored off Heaney’s fourth assist, senior Sarah Mackey scored off a free possession, and O’Connor scored her second off an assist from sophomore Kat Considine. The Lady Trojans went into halftime with a comfortable 13-4 lead. While John Jay recharged and earned 6 goals in the second half, Garden City’s Madeleine O’Connor was sensational on the draw, and Pappas added 2 more goals, totaling 5 for the game. Juliana Santel, off an assist by senior Mary Kate Dolan, contributed the Lady Trojans’ 16th goal, ending the game with a final score of 16-10. The defensive starting squad of seniors Erin Healy and Amanda Cerrato, junior Emma Ruckh and sophomore Oliva Kaval, joined by sophomore Lizanne Griffith, battled equally as hard. By the end of the game, Emily Gaven had 9 saves, and the Trojans returned home with the victory. Finally, on Monday, May 6, the Lady Trojans gained their third big win, defeating South Side 18-8 at home. Once again,

Junior Maggie Connolly dodges past the South Side defense to assist a goal. Sophomore Kat Considine backs her up.

53 and Bella Ottomanelli were instrumental in transitioning the ball on offense. Garden City was equally forceful on defense. Amanda Cerrato, Erin Healy, Olivia Kaval and Emma Ruckh started the Trojans’ defense, while Emily Quinn, Lisa Garizio, Kaitrin Karr, Lizanne Griffith and Katherine Staub were equally formidable. In goal, junior goalie Tess Castellano saved two shots. Senior captain Emily Gaven made nine saves, for a total of 147 saves so far this season. Currently, Gaven leads in shots saved on Long Island. Please come to cheer on the Garden City Trojans at their first play-off game at home on Wednesday, May 15. GO GC!

Setting Out on 8-Day Self-Guided BikeTour from Venice Bound for Croatia BY KAREN RUBIN & ERIC LEIBERMAN TRAVEL FEATURES SYNDICATE GOINGPLACESFARANDNEAR.COM We hadn’t biked far from the Hotel Alexander on the mainland of Venice in Mestre on the first morning of a week-long self-guided bike tour that would take us some 300 miles following the seacoast to Porec, Croatia, before I imagined: had I done this by myself as I had originally planned, I would have been found weeks later wandering in a wilderness. I was so grateful that my son could come along – his tech prowess (and insistence on

getting an app of our route) made all the difference, not to mention his companionship. Each morning, he would unfurl the day’s Stage map and have his smart phone tucked into the plastic case on the handlebars. Once underway (after a delightful breakfast in the pre-arranged inns), I would be trying in vain to follow the cue sheets and do mathematical gymnastics with the kilometers, and was so consumed with these and watching for Eric ahead, and being enrapt by the scenery and taking photos, that I See page D2

Setting Out on 8-Day Self-Guided BikeTour from Venice Bound for Croatia

Continued from page D1 would miss the mark the tour operator left on sign posts for each turn. “It’s simple,” Eric says. If you don’t see a mark, you go straight.” But what if you have missed the mark that told you to turn? You could find yourself kilometers ahead before you even have a clue you missed the turn and have no idea where to go back. At one point, Eric installs the hang-out app on my phone so he can find me on his map and I can see where he is, that comes in really handy when I miss a turn altogether in the middle of Trieste. Typically, though, even though he rides faster and is ahead, he waits for me at key turns. But all of it becomes part of the adventure – the excitement of doing, not just seeing, of becoming immersed in a place or not knowing what will beyond the next turn. And having no window between you and what is around you. Biking lets you travel at a pace to really see things, and yet cover a reasonable distance, and most importantly, gives you the ability and freedom to simply stop and look around. The day before we set out from Venice for the first stage ride, Anthony, the guide from FunActive, the local tour operator that Biketours.com selected to coordinate the tour, had come to the hotel in the afternoon to deliver and fit our rental bikes, the vouchers and maps and sit with us for an orientation reviewing each day’s trip. He arrived specially, as we requested, shortly after Eric arrived by plane, and we rushed him through so we could have the afternoon and evening in Venice. Anthony

sat patiently with us in the hotel’s lounge trying to review the route for each of the six days of riding (he would have to repeat the entire thing for the four other self-guided cyclists later that afternoon). He reviewed the particularities of the route – the recommended “options” for sightseeing and the route “variants”. He tried to give us a sense of the road, and the highlights. I took notes but we rushed him and I think we missed a few things. Each day has alternatives of a shorter, easier ride (usually with some ferry or train) and the longer one. But one day stands out in Eric’s mind in particular when he is determined to take “the hinterland” route. Stage 1: Venice mainland/Mestre – Jesolo/Caorle (22 or 50 miles/35 or 80 km) I thought the thunder storm that hit during the night would mean fair weather for our first day’s ride, Venice to Jesolo, a distance of 51 km (30 miles, though there is an option to take a shorter ride, 22 miles). No luck. It is raining when we leave and surprisingly cold - about 20 degrees cooler from the day before. We set out anyway because the rain is part of our adventure, after all. I had thought we would mainly be riding on roads with traffic but am surprised and relieved that most of our ride for the next few days are along bikeways – often paved but sometimes gravel or pebbles, but nonetheless a bikeway – or else some country roads with very little traffic. And for the next few days, our ride is flat, taking us through farm-

land and along the coast. This first day of cycling is designed by FunActive to be easy (and would be but for the rain and head wind). Our destination is Jesolo, a seaside beach town. Many of the days offer options to cut off some of the biking (or the climbing or the traffic) by taking a ferry from the lagoon in Venice to Punta Sabbioni, which would have cut the day’s ride to 22 miles). We opt to take the “hinterland” route, cycling along the river Sile, 30 miles to Jesolo, passing the ruins of Torre Caligo, a tower from the Middle Ages which is situated near the canal “Caligo.” FunActive has given us excellent background material – a guidebook in fact (I wish I had paid more attention to it before we set out) that includes background on the landscape, history and culture of the regions we travel through, plus recommendations for attractions and restaurants in each place, along with local maps. The route map, broken up into each day’s Stage, is well marked with places to stop for food, photos, attractions. We ride through countryside – farms and villages – we can even see the snowcapped mountain peaks of the Dolomites in the distance. This first day is really an orientation to learn “the rules of the road” – for me, figuring out how to correlate the cue sheets and look for the trail markings. At first, I am very disoriented, but Eric manages to get us to our destination. Jesolo is utterly charming seaside beach resort that attracts local families and despite its proximity to Venice,

Concordia Sagittaria © Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com

doesn’t seem to have attracted any foreign tourists at all (another delight of a bike tour, that brings you into local places well off the beaten tourist track). I am amazed how fine the sand is. The weather has cleared but it is rather cold and there is a red flag on the lifeguard stand, so no one is in the water this late in the afternoon. We enjoy walking along the beach, sticking our feet in the water, and taking in all the color. The town has a ferris wheel, amusement park, water park, go karts, arcade, lovely shops and restaurants, is loaded with surreys and bikes, and in the evening, closes the street to cars altogether. What we notice is there are few (if any) bars. This is really a family place. We love our hotel, the Marco Polo which is right on the main street, a block off the beach. The scenes evoke flashbacks to my own childhood, when our family would take trips in February to Atlantic City, normally a beach resort, and enjoy the boardwalk. There are a plethora of restaurants – many are full and one in particular, Atmosphera, has people (including many families), lining up in the street. Lucky for us, they have a table for two. This place is a revelation – and we can soon see why it is probably the most popular restaurant in Jesolo – it has a sensational menu (pages and pages of pizza offerings, meat and fish

selections), wonderfully prepared with fresh, flavorful ingredients in open kitchens, large portions beautifully presented and modest prices. Our hotel, the Marco Polo, is most charming, and right on the main street which at night is closed to cars. Stage 2: Jesolo/Caorle to Concordia Sagittaria/Portogruaro (19 or 31 miles). Today’s ride, 31 miles from Jesolo to Concordia Sagittaria/Portogruaro, is easy, cycling along the coast and it’s sunny! which dramatically adds to my sunny mood and puts metal to my pedal. We ride through scenic farmland and countryside. We take a slight detour into Caorle, which the FunActive guide, Anthony, has heartily recommended we do, and this proves one of the pure gems of the tour. As we enter the town, the colorful buildings around a plaza makes me think of Sausalito over the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco, or, then again, of Seaside, Florida, that idyllic village in the “Truman Show,” and as soon as we make the turn into the Old District, with the warm sun streaming down, I think what a fantastic movie set this would make. It seems that all the property owners by choice or decree paint their buildings before each season, according to a certain gorgeous palette of colors.

The colors are stirring, surreal almost, especially because of the narrow alleys and the angles. A riot of color. Think Nanny McPhee. I can’t get enough of it- the scenes make my heart race, especially the narrow, angled alleys. As we walk, each new vista is like a new painting. We discover Carole in layers – first wandering through the streets. Eric has zoned in on a restaurant for lunch. We eat outside but this clever place, inside, actually has a model train set that delivers your food to the table. Caorle has been settled for about 2000 years. Wandering around, we come upon the Cathedral San Stefano Protomartire Caorle, built in 1038. Then we walk back and hone in on the Madonna dell’Angelo Church, perched on a cliff overlooking the water and the beach at the end of the stone promenade, wrapping around on two sides. Across the way, there are a gazillion beach umbrellas set up, but where we are, there are like random, ad hoc DIY blankets and umbrellas. Eric swims in the Adriatic while I take photos. We are so delighted with Caorle, we buy refrigerator magnets with the scene of the colorful buildings. We leave this enchanting town and find ourselves in absolutely gorgeous countryside – with what I presume are

the Dolomite Mountains as a backdrop. At one point, we ride along a berm that elevates us over the farmland on either side. Anthony had strongly recommended that once we arrive at Concordia Sagittaria where our inn is, we ride the few extra kilometers into Portogruaro, and when I see the photo of the Town Hall on our hotel’s card, we race out to take advantage of the warm, late afternoon light. It is a delightful ride on a bike path along a river into Portogruaro, aglow in golden light. The town, founded in the 12th century as a port on the river Lemene, is surprisingly big and bustling, and we dash to try to capture that scene from the photo before the sun sets. We find our way to the Old City and the Plaza della Republica with its grand Gothic Town Hall, A concert is going on and we are drawn in but pull away in order not to miss the fading sunlight. The setting is absolutely magnificent – this 12th century Town Hall with ancient watermills (one still spinning), is very Venetian in its look. I realize that the shot I want is across the river, and cross the bridge beside working water wheels to a small park adjacent to a monastery. I get there just in time before the light fades.

Text Slang for Mother’s Day Defrosting Time (Dan Greenberg)

BY MARJORIE GOTTLIEB WOLFE It’s Mother’s Day! A study in The Journal of Pediatrics found that a mother’s recorded voice will wake a child and get him out of the bedroom much faster than a standard smoke alarm. The tone alarm woke the children in about half the time; it took them an average of nearly 5 minutes to get out of the room. With the mother’s voice, almost 90 percent of the children awoke and are out of the room in an average of 30 seconds. So, what’s next? Off to a playdate? School? Baseball practice? Or, texting. Shown below is a not-so-serious alphabetical list of Text Slang for Moms:

Ahhh

Memorable smoke smell wafting from kids’ rooms (William Sorensen)

BALAB = Baleboostagator

Marnie Winton-Macauley term for the mom who is stronger than a Super Swiffer, morepowerful than a Bissell Power Brush, and more courageous than a Clorox pellet.

CSG = Club Sandwich Generation

Mothers (and dads) who provide care for their parents, children and grandchildren

I was in BIG trouble…”

CPM = Cell Phone Mom

Abbie Hoffman returns from a trip to Nicaragua. He calls his mom from Miami. She says, “Where are you?” He says, “Miami. I just got back from Nicaragua.” “That’s nice. Aunt Rose is in the hospital. Her feet hurt.” “Bye, Ma. I’ll call you soon.”

CGM = Crunchy Granola Mom

Her story of home birth with all six of her kids will make most moms feel inferior…or grateful for epidurals.

CM = Celebrity Mom

Freddie Roman said, “My mother couldn’t be here tonight - she’s in the manager’s office where they’re explaining to her that coffee and a refill is not a two-drink minimum.” Robert Klein’s mother went to the dressmaker and said, “I’m Robert Klein’s mother,” and she said, “That’s nice. I like Buddy Hackett.” (She never went back there.)

CM = Computing Mom

Mom who can compute the Maximum Allowable Distance, or M.A.D. for children who want to leave home. Distance = M.P.H. X Lamb Chop

GFM = Guilta-Fish Mom (not a typo)

You never write, You never call. For all I knew you were smoked, fileted and lying on a bagel. Would it kill you to keep in touch!? (designer greeting card)

HMM = Hot Mess Mom

Frazzled mom, and not 100% sure of the location of her children. As long as everyone is alive, she calls it a good day.

HP = Helicopter parent See page D6

Gloom, But No Doom, for Social Security BY TOM MARGENAU

In the spring each year, flowers and trees bloom. And so do gloom and doom stories about the future of Social Security. And that’s because in April of each year, the Social Security board of trustees is required to issue a report on the status of the Social Security trust funds. (They also issue a status report on Medicare. But this is a column about Social Security, so that is the only report I will cover today.) And although there is some gloom associated with the trustee’s report, there is no reason for doom. This year, the report says Social Security will go belly up in 2035. Well, that’s what the headlines say. An in-depth reading of the trustees’ findings show that if no changes are made to Social Security by 2035, the trust funds will be depleted, and the incoming payroll taxes will only be enough to cover about 75 percent of promised benefits. So Social Security would not be bankrupt in 2035, but the system would certainly be in some serious doo-doo! (That’s the gloomy part of the story.) So why am I not concerned? Because we’ve been down this road before. If you are a typical baby boomer, you were into “sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll” in the ‘60s and ‘70s. But in those same years, I was a nerd, recently hired by the Social Security Administration. And I very quickly became interested in the history of Social Security legislation. I learned then what I still know today: Social Security has been reformed many times in its long history. And more often than not, major reforms don’t happen until politicians’ backs are up against the wall. Why does Congress wait so long to do anything? Because though Social Security reform choices are rather obvious, they are politically difficult to implement. To be more precise, Social Security reform almost always means two things are going to happen: Somebody’s tax is going to go up, and somebody’s benefit is going to get cut. Congress just doesn’t like to do either. Still, they inevitably act responsibly and do the right thing. For example, back in the late 1970s, Social Security was in much more dire straits than it is in today. At that time, the trustee’s report was predicting that the system was just five years away from meltdown. One of the first major things Ronald Reagan did after he was elected president was to appoint a bipartisan National Commission on Social Security Reform. The commission had 15 members: eight Republicans and seven Democrats. Some were members of Congress. Some were private citizens. A couple of the more recognizable politicians on the commission were Senators Bob Dole and Daniel Patrick Moynihan. The private citizens included bankers, insurance company executives and management consultants. Alan Greenspan, the noted economist and chairman of the Federal Reserve, served as the commission’s chairman.

The commission members met nine times, on approximately a monthly basis. In January 1983, they issued their report with a number of recommendations for reform. The report and their reform proposals filled a 150-page book, which I have on my desk. Though I can’t summarize all of it in this short column, I can share some of the major legislative changes that grew out of the report. Surprise, surprise: Those changes resulted in some people’s taxes going up, and some people’s benefits being cut. The tax increase was a slight and graduated rise in the Social Security payroll tax. It went up from 5.7 percent, where it was in 1984, to 6.2 percent by 1989. (As always, those rates are doubled for self-employed people.) And that’s where we still are today. The major benefit reduction involved making people wait longer to collect full retirement benefits. The full retirement age was increased in gradual steps -- from 65 to 67. In fact, we still haven’t reached the full extent of that legislative change. The FRA won’t hit 67 until people born in 1960 and later start retiring. There were some relatively minor benefit cuts, too. As just one example, survivor benefits to college students were eliminated. Those changes, implemented just a few years before the system was scheduled to go into the red, have kept Social Security in the black for almost four decades. Now we are approaching another crunch point. And some president will appoint another bipartisan commission, and they will come up with another set of reform proposals that will keep Social Security chugging along for another 50 years or so. What will those reforms be? Personally, I think the Social Security tax rate ought to be bumped up a few percentage points. Again, it’s been locked in at 6.2 percent since 1989. Gradually increasing it to 6.5 percent over a number of years could be justified. However, the commission may take the slightly easier and more popular approach of suggesting an increase in the wage base: the amount of earnings subject to the payroll tax. That base is currently $132,900. I know from the emails I get from readers that many people think the base should simply be eliminated. In the current conservative political climate, that will never happen. But we might see the base raised to something like $250,000, with graduated increases after that. On the other side of the ledger (the cut benefits side), the commission could recommend bumping up the retirement age another year or two over the next several decades. In other words, my current preteen and teen grandkids might have to wait until age 68 or 69 before they could collect full Social Security benefits. The commission also might suggest increasing the number of years used to figure a Social Security retirement benefit. Currently, benefits are computed us-

ing a 35-year base of earnings. That same formula has been used for about 40 years. They could bump up those base years to 38. This would have the effect of lowering future benefits because the more years used to figure a retirement rate, the lower the benefit would be. If that doesn’t make sense to you, think of it this way. Basing a person’s Social Security retirement benefits on his or her highest 3 years of earnings would result in a much higher monthly benefit than using 35 years. So

using 38 or more years would slightly lower future benefits. These are just a few examples of changes that could come out of the next commission on Social Security reform -whenever a president and Congress get gutsy enough to form one. Let’s just hope it’s sooner rather than later. If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has the answer. Contact him at thomas.margenau@comcast.net. COPYRIGHT 2019 CREATORS.COM

Setting Out on 8-Day Self-Guided BikeTour from Venice Bound for Croatia C ontinued from page D3 We bike back to Concordia Sagittaria, a delightful village well off the tourist “beaten track,” which is why I love bike tours so much. The village sits in what was a Roman colony on the River Lemene. By now we’re famished. It’s a Monday night and some restaurants are closed. But Eric finds a marvelous one (which turns out to be listed in the FunActiv guide): Pizzeria Al Solito Posto. All the tables have been reserved (notably, by locals), but we notice two people just finishing their meal at a table outside. There are something like four pages of pizza to choose from and I have the best pizza I’ve had in my life: cheese, olives, capers and anchovies with the freshest tomato and thinnest of crust done to perfection. Our inn, The Julia, is right on the river and in the middle of the square, towered over by the 10th century Byzantine Cathedrale di Santo Stefano Protomartire, dedicated to the first Christian martyr. (Inside, our notes say, is a holy water stoup in Greek marble from the 1st century and 13th century paintings). Just across the square, we discover an archeological dig with sarcophagus,. The excavations of what was the first basilica have also uncovered ruins of a Roman street. Next to the church is a Roman-style bell tower from 1150. There is also a Bishop’s Palace (1450) and town hall from the year 1523. This day has been the most magnificent. And the most interesting thing of all is we would never have seen or experienced any of it except for riding our bikes.

Setting out on an 8-day, 300-mile self-guided bike tour from Venice to Trieste to Istria in Croatia: Jesolo, Caorle, Concordia Sagittaria, Portogruaro. There are four other riders following the same self-guided FunActive itinerary as we who have started on the same day, and we meet up with them periodically in the inns and even on the trail and delight in sharing stories and comparing notes of our travels. Next: Discovering Ancient Christian Cite of Aquilea, Roman City of Grado (We booked our 8-day self-guided “Venice-Trieste-Istria” self-guided bike tour through BikeTours.com, a broker which has an excellent catalog of well-priced guided and self-guided bike and bike/boat trips, mostly in Europe, and has very attentive coun-

The month-long event promotes the benefits of cycling and encourages new riders to join in on the fun. Biketours.com is celebrating all month long, including National Bike to Work Week from May 13–19 and Bike to Work Day on Friday, May 17.

Why is there a lack of homes on the market?

BY PHILIP A. RAICES

ur inventory is still at historic lows (<4 months) and normal inventory is 6-7 months. The demand is still there, but the S.A.L.T. tax has truly cooled off the higher end market, especially in those states with high real estate taxes e.g. the blue states: New York, Connecticut, New Jersey and California. We can thank our current President for this situation, causing many to leave the states they were brought up in to lower cost and taxed locations throughout the U.S. Although demand for homes less than one million dollars is still doing fairly well, that inventory is extremely tight. There is one specific reason why: seventy six million baby boomers, aged 55-75 years of age and the twenty million silent generation born between 1925-1942 and with aged 70-80 years of age and staying and living in place and not moving. Four out of ten baby boomers or forty percent own a vacation or second home and fifty seven percent have ownership of all the vacation homes as well as 58 percent of all rental properties as per the National Association of Realtors statistics. Because of this, a majority of baby boomers are staying place for this reason, they have choices six months here and six months in their second domicile in warmer weather. As of 2019, the breakdown by age looks like this: (statistics from the National Association of Realtors) Here are some additional brackets, hopefully to initially and further clarify the various groups: Baby Boomers: Born 1946-1964 (54-72 years old) Generation X: Born 1965-1980 (38-53 years old) Millennials: Born 1981-1996 (22-37 years old) PostMillennials:Born 1997-Present (0-21 years old) • Baby Boomers: Baby boomers were born between 1944 and 1964. They’re current between 55-75 years old (76 million in U.S.) • Gen X: Gen X was born between 1964 -1979 and are currently between 40-54 years old (82 million people in U.S.) • Gen Y: Gen Y, or Millennials, were born between 1980 and 1994. They are currently between 25-39 years old.

o Gen Y.1 = 25-29 years old (31 million people in U.S.) o Gen Y.2 = 29-39 (42 million people in U.S.) • Gen Z: Gen Z is the newest generation to be named and were born between 1995 and 2015. They are currently between 4-24 years old (nearly 74 million in U.S.) The term “Millennial” has become the popular way to reference both segments of Gen Y (more on Y.1 and Y.2 below). Realistically, the name Generation Z is a place-holder for the youngest people on the planet. It is likely to morph as they leave childhood and mature into their adolescent and adult identities.

Generation Y - Born Between 1980-1995

The largest U.S. age group since the baby boom will make an unbelievable impact on the housing market. Here’s what you need to know to tap into this powerful market segment. Life without Google, communication without text messaging and Real Estate without virtual tours are hard to imagine for the millions of people who fall into Generation Y. As children of the baby boomers, this group is predicted to make up the bulk of U.S. population within 20 years. That’s why it’s essential for Realtors to understand what makes Gen Y tick. After all, it won’t be long before Gen Yers are a dominant segment of home buyers. If you want to have a future in the real estate business, you must think about the customer of tomorrow. To get a better feel for Gen Y, here are some quick facts: Becoming a majority. Experts say Gen Y ranges in size from 72 million to 78 million people nationwide and 2 billion worldwide. The Web is their playground. They track down their friends on MySpace and Facebook, they download their songs from iTunes, and they send e-mails from their phones while waiting in line at Starbucks. And you had

better pay attention to their e-mails, because they expect a fast response They buy young. On average, Gen Yers buy homes at age 26, three years earlier than most Generation Xers, according to a Real Estate study. Gen Y is not just some kid out of college. They are kids with parents who want to see them get off to the right start and are willing to put 10 percent down on a house and have the kid pay the mortgage every month. They have hectic schedules. Their lives are a lot busier than their parents were at their age, they’re always moving. They do their research. Don’t try to pull one over on this age group. You’d better know what you’re talking about, because they will have done the research.

The Importance of Technology

It’s critical to embrace technology when working with young buyers. Â Nine out of ten Gen Yers have a home, lap-top computer or iPad. Almost all 97 percent have a cell phone or iphone that is more advanced than your laptop, and 68 percent send text messages from their phone. Fifty percent listed instant messaging as their preferred form of communication. It’s important to have a well-designed and informative web site in order to appeal to this age group. It’s a given that young buyers will search for homes online, so make sure your site can be accessed through major search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing even accessible through facebook. If they don’t get what they want right away from the person who promised it, it’s just a phone call, e-mail, or text message away to recruit another Realtor to do the work.

Is Younger Better?

While Gen Yers want a Realtor who’s comfortable with technology, they also value the expertise of a veteran. They feel safer dealing with someone around their parents’ age. If you identify your experience and show that you’re tech savvy, that’s a nice combination for young buyers and sellers. Older agents

have the advantage already, as long as they don’t get out-communicated by not having the right tools like a Blackberry, or iPhone. Even the most experienced and tech-savvy Realtors will fail to win over Gen Yers if they don’t treat their clients like adults.

Ideas for Reaching Out to Gen Y

With Gen Y becoming a more powerful segment of the real estate market, there’s huge potential in catering your business directly to this demographic. • Advertise listings on Craigslist... This online classifieds Web site is hugely popular with all buyers and sellers, but especially with the Web-savvy Gen Y set. • Do not try to up-sell... find the home they want within their price range. They will love you. • Know what they like... Younger buyers tend to want a home that’s close to work; near a park (to walk the dog); and within walking distance to shopping, the gym, and local bars and restaurants. Easy home maintenance is also high on their list. So the future challenges will be available inventory, keeping up with the possible greatest demand to ever be realized in the U.S. as well as a more moderate price point and satisfying the specific changing “needs, wants and tastes of each group compared with the groups before them.

Students researching design plans At St. Joseph School, STREAM (Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, Art, Mathematics) education takes on many forms. Last week, Middle School students researched various engineering designs and used technology tools to recreate those designs with simple objects. These projects allow students to get into the STREAM mindset - experimenting, building prototypes and learning from trial and error. Not only does this help students learn engineering basics, but it also highlights the importance of hard work and perseverance.

St. Joseph School puts a real focus on the “R” in STREAM by asking students to think about how their designs may better serve people throughout the world. This gives students a chance to put their faith in action and make their projects more community-minded. This class project is just a small part of the curriculum which is designed to prepare students to be contributing members of society who, through hard work, solve difficult problems that impact others. To learn more about St. Joseph School, please visit www. st-josephschool.com.

Magistra Durkin (center) pictured with 28 GCHS Latinists at the Suffolk Classical Society’s annual Certamen at Stony Brook Univeristy. The Latin students of Garden City recently competed in a challenging competition: Certamen. A wonderful opportunity for young scholars to have fun and venture into the

world with their chosen world language course, Certamen quizzes students on their extensive knowledge of Roman society, politics, beliefs, and language.

John Friia.

On March 28, a number of GCHS students attended a Certamen hosted by Suffolk Classical Society at Stony Brook University. Teams from all over Long Island participated in four levels based on the difficulty of questions asked. After rounds of playing against other schools quiz-bowl style, one of Garden City’s Advanced teams (GCHS seniors Kara Acinapuro, Jeanne Butler, Zoe Heath and captain Elsie Schaubeck), made the playoff

round, earning second place overall. Considering the number of schools involved and the plethora of background knowledge needed to receive an achievement, the Latinists of Garden City are extremely proud to have reached this level. The enthusiastic students thoroughly enjoyed competing against fellow Long Island schools in a day filled with entertainment, gratification, and appreciation of Latin.

GCHS varsity baseball team wins conference title

Garrett Zander on the mound for Garden City

With a 13-1 record, the Garden City High School varsity baseball team takes home the Nassau A-II conference title. Congratulation Trojans! The team started the week with a contentious Game One in the series against Cary, a long-time rival. Cary drew first blood, leaving Garden City down three runs by the second inning. In the fourth inning, Cary scored again, giving them a 4-1 lead. The 5th inning was scoreless on both sides. With time running out, Garden Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jason Brown started the top of the 6th being hit by a pitch and taking first. Now in the heart of the order, batter Andrew Zupicich took the next pitch to the back, putting the tying run on base and bringing the go ahead run to the plate. With the need for speed on the bases, Matt Moody went in to run for Zupicich. Battling the pitcher to a 3 & 2 count, Paul Varano found the slider he was looking for and

smacked a well-placed line drive over the first basemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head into right field, allowing Brown to score from second and making it a 1-run game. Jake Fraher walked to load the bases before Cary made a pitching change. It got tense when the next batter for GC struck out. With two outs, down by one, and bases still loaded, Chris Schwatener battled back from an 0-2 count in a 7-pitch at-bat that ended in a walk and forced the tying run across the plate. With 2 outs, Garrett Zander went in to run for the GC catcher. Tommy Reifler continued the dual with the new pitcher, ultimately drawing another walk and moving the go-ahead run across the plate. The Cary pitcher proceeded to hit the next two GC batters, adding two more runs to the score board. With bases still loaded and having made it through the order, Zupicich came back to the plate, and this time

61 deflating Cary’s attempt at a comeback. Pitcher Christian McGannon sealed the complete game for Garden City with a three up -three down final inning with Owen Ascher catching a fly ball to end the game. Game Two against Cary was Senior Day for Garden City and the team’s last regular season home game. Parents and fans were treated to another exiting game. Garden City started the game offensively with a double off the bat of Tommy Reifler. Hits from Michael Rasquin, Jason Brown, Andrew Zupicich, Jake Fraher, Kyle Flynn and a walk for Paul Varano combined to put three runs on the board in the first inning. The highlight of the second inning was a 3 RBI home run for Andrew

Zupicich who sent a ball way over the left field fence. Stevie Baymack pitched 4 scoreless innings for Garden City with his defense backing him up with 2 double plays. Cary’s offense woke up in the 5th inning and managed to scratch back 5 runs making the score 6-5 by the bottom of the 5th. Danny McLeod pitched a scoreless top 6 for the Trojans. GC was able to add one more run in the bottom of the 6th, giving the defense a bit of a cushion going into the top of the 7th. Jake Fraher took to the mound with confidence and closed out the game in style striking out the last batter. While GC led the whole game, Cary made the game exciting in the late innings. The two wins for Garden

City against Cary guarantees the conference title for the team! Congratulations to Chris Alfaya, Owen Ascher, Giuseppe Atria, Stephen Baymack, Jason Brown, Michael Cerenzia, Billy Duff, Greg Elmokian, Kyle Flynn, Jake Fraher, Nick Giudice, Jack Karcher, William Karcher, Lukas Lambria, Brendan McEvoy, Christian McGannon, Danny Mcleod, Joe McNiff, James McQuaid, Matt Moody, Michael Rasquin, Tommy Reifler, Chris Schwantner, Paul Varano, Garrett Zander and Andrew Zupicich. Great job Coaches Izzo and Chaputian! Thank you to all the fans that came out to support the team! Good luck to the GC Trojans in the baseball playoffs next week.

slugged a big 2 RBI single before Cary was able to get the final out of the inning; but the damage was done as the Trojans tallied 7 runs in the inning. With Garden City back out on the lawn, a first batter walk, followed by a base hit, quickly put runners on 1st and 2nd, threatening GC’s 8-4 lead. With the Seahawks trying to come back and the runners moving, the next batter made contact. Second baseman Stephen Baymack managed to make an amazing snag on the fly of the dropping line drive. Baymack quickly unloaded the ball to shortstop Tommy Riefler at 2nd, who tagged the open bag and fired to Jason Brown at 1st to complete a remarkable and not too often seen triple play! This closed out the 6th,

For over 80 years, TMA has been the main booster club to support the athletic and social activities of the students of the Garden City School system. We have helped fundraise for those groups that ask for our support and we have also promoted good sportsmanship as well as ideal citizenship. The TMA is composed of around 60 directors and 50 Life Directors. We have over 300 Family and Senior Members. The generous support from the residents of GC have helped the TMA provide raffle prizes for the TMA/Friends of Music “Rock for the Kids,” and also a robotic prize for the STEM program, as well as provide the GCHS baseball and softball teams with a new batting cage system for the GCHS gym. We have also helped with transportation for sports teams to their camps and tournaments. The SEPTA Wine Tasting Fundraiser is one of our events that is sold out annually. We have helped Best Buddies, CPR Training for coaches, HUDL for the athletic teams and many more. TMA also runs the Father/Daughter Dance and Mother/Son Dance annually with the use of volunteers to bring this special night together. We also run the BAA/GAA award dinner annually for all student-athletes of GCHS. We pay for the varsity letters for each time your son or daughter plays a sport. Without your support, these special events would NOT BE possible. So we THANK YOU ahead of time. Thanks for all your support! It takes all the organizations behind the scene to keep the GC schools at the top of the list… GO Trojans!

New Members

We are always looking for new members to get involved. We need as many volunteers as we can get. So if you are an interested dad or mom, please contact us at tmagcny@gmail.com.
