Two GCHS students headed to military service academies

BY GARY SIMEONE Two Garden City High School seniors will be attending the Air Force Academy and the US Naval Academy in the fall. Classmates Alexander Pasqualina and Kylie Brunning recently were accepted to the service

academies and both students look forward to their journeys. In an interesting twist the two students are also boyfriend and girlfriend.

Pasqualina, a three-sport athlete in high school, said he wanted to follow in his grandfather’s footsteps of serving his country, and that is why

A WORD FROM THE PUBLISHER

Congratulations

Congratulations to the winners of this week’s School Board election, Arthur Gnecco, William O’Donohue and Joseph Sileo. We wish them well as they guide the district’s schools in this tumultuous time. n

Also in this week’s issue are a pair of paid advertisements from the Mayor’s Committee on St. Paul’s on pages 26 and 27. The ads discuss the structural integrity of the St. Paul’s building, which many people have expressed concerns about. According to the ads, the building’s exterior walls, which are load bearing, are structurally sound and could be used for a future purpose.

This is good news for any future preservation use, although just what

that use would be is perhaps the biggest unanswered question.

Residents should understand that because the building has been declared parkland, it can only be used for public purposes. It’s virtually impossible for it to be used for commercial or non-public uses. It also can’t be sold without a complex and extremely difficult process known as “alienation of parkland.”

Years ago there was a proposal to use the building for senior assisted living, but after a lawsuit and the parkland declaration, that ship has sailed. Other ideas, such as using it as a school or library have also been ruled out over the years.

So what comes next? We are eager to see the Committee’s ideas.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Email: Editor@GCNews.com

Lead with kindness

To the Editor: As I write this, the Board of Education election has yet to be decided, but in the wake of the nonsense that preceded the election, I’d like to share some thoughts.

By the time you are reading this, you will know the outcome, so you will know how this applies to you.

Although I had strong opinions on this topic, I believe I succeeded in sharing those opinions with grace and decency. I am working very hard at this point not to judge too harshly those that failed. I remind myself that it’s been a difficult two years for everyone, and some people can’t help but lash out and lay blame when they are suffering.

When this election is behind us, it won’t matter if you were for or against masks, who you voted for, or which Facebook groups you belong to. We’re still neighbors. Our children still sit next to each other in classes, perform on the same stages, and compete on the same teams. We still shop in the same grocery stores and pass each other in the street.

For my part, I will continue to cheer on your children as I do my own, and smile as I pass people in the neighborhood, but after the behavior and name calling by some residents, this will be difficult for a while. I’ll always wonder if their children observed and learned this behavior. I’ll wonder if I need to protect my own children. I feel resentment. Not because of who won or lost....I don’t have that information yet....but because of how people were treated... the blatant disregard for truth, feelings, and potential outcomes. I hate feeling this way, and I know I’m not the only one.

I hope we can all take a lesson from the last couple of months. I hope we can learn to lead with kindness, and that the end doesn’t justify the means. There are consequences to our actions, and while debate is where growth happens, it can be done civilly. There are consequences not only for the bad actors, but for their families and the entire community. The

repercussions might not occur today, but they will happen.

I’ve spent most of my 44 years in this village, and I’ve never been so ashamed of that fact. Look around, lend a hand, cooperate with those around you. At this point we are a community in name only. We have choices to make moving forward that don’t involve candidates....

Really think about those choices....

Please. Meet me half way. Rather than doubling down on the bitterness, move forward. Rather than getting ready for your next fight, ask, “How can I help?”.

And then follow through.

To whoever won the election, best of luck..... You’ll need it.

Ali Lippens

Congratulations

To the Editor: The Property Owners’ Associations of Garden City wish to congratulate Joseph Sileo, William O’Donohue and Arthur Gnecco on their election as Garden City School Board Trustees.

Garden City residents made their voices heard at the High School on May 17, 2022 with an overwhelming turnout and convincing results. We wish to thank Colleen Foley and William Holub for their volunteerism and all residents for their support and engagement.

Over the past few years, a growing contentiousness has engulfed our village seemingly permeating every aspect of daily function. It is our sincere hope that as a Village, through continued engagement and facilitation of information that we may unify once again.

The POA’s through Town Halls, Meet & Greets, the EPOA Primary, and continued reliance upon our Community Agreement have never stopped advocating for all residents and will continue to do. We look forward to focusing on our mission as civic associations and welcome all residents to our meetings and media so that we may continue to advocate on behalf of all residents of the Village of Garden City.

On Saturday, April 30, three Garden City Middle Schoolers, Alexander Mingoia Murphy, Matthew Pontecorvo and Ethan Wu debuted as members of the Nassau-Suffolk Honor Band at the Tilles Center for the Performing Arts. Nassau-Suffolk Performing Arts is a non-profit organization founded in 1994 to provide some of the finest student musicians from across Long Island an opportunity to immerse themselves in an advanced concert band setting through rehearsals and performances of a wide variety of concert band literature.

The Honor Band played absolutely beautifully. Intonation and blend were outstanding and tempo changes were seamless. All of the band members’ hard work throughout the short season was evident at the performance.

From the controlled percussion to the technically impressive woodwinds, to the warm rich sound of the brass, to the soaring melody in Maelstrom to the countermelodies in Pacifica, to the remarkable trumpets in Pacifica” … it was a concert both musicians and audience members thoroughly enjoyed. The Honor Band repertoire also included New Horizons and The Water is Wide.

Alexander, Matthew and Ethan are all in 7th grade and participated

in Nassau-Suffolk Youth Band as 6th graders under the direction of Gary Henderson during the 2020–2021 season.

Based on their efforts, diligence and auditions last spring, they moved into the Honor Band and performed under Mandy Boonshaft’s direction starting in January 2022 and culminating on April 30 with the enriching experience of the Spring Concert.

All three boys were among the youngest Boy Scouts who participated in the Virtual Memorial Day Concert in 2020 that was produced and created by older Troop 55 Scouts Augustin Mingoia Murphy and Owen Williams, which was sent to Northport Veterans Medical Center during the lock down for Memorial Day in 2020.

Alexander plays trumpet and is a member of both Late Night Jazz band and the 7th grade band under the direction of Ms. Iovino. He has also participated in NYSSMA festivals since 2019.

Matthew Pontecorvo is a percussionist in Ms. Iovino’s 7th grade band. He has been playing for 5 years and has participated in NYSSMA festivals.

Ethan Wu plays clarinet and guitar. He is a member of the 7th grade band, Late Night Jazz band and NassauSuffolk Youth Jazz Band having performed a second concert at the Tilles

Alexander Mingoia Murphy, Ethan Wu, Matthew Pontecorvo.

Center on Saturday, May 14. Ethan participates in NYSSMA festivals for both

clarinet and guitar.

Let Jen Sullivan Guide you.

Whether you are downsizing, or searching for your dream home, allow Jen’s experience, passion, and results to work for you.

Reach out any time. 516.361.7190

The A.T. Stewart Exchange is pleased to hold Carter’s first Pop-up Patio Plant Sale, this Sunday, May 22, from noon to 4:00 p.m. There will be a beautiful selection of zinnias, impatiens, dahlias, petunias, mixed containers, hanging baskets and more! The plants are being supplied by Beds & Borders, a North Fork family-owned business. Carter is a 5th grade student and advocate for dogs, learning about the business of doing business and using business to do good. You may know him from his work advocating for a Garden City dog park.

A portion of the proceeds will go to the North Shore Animal League, as well as Molly’s Fund for Melanoma Awareness (in memory of several family members).

The Patio Sale will be in the rear of The garden City Historical Society Museum, located at 109 Eleventh Street. And the A.T. Stewart Exchange will also be open!

Dress up your garden and support two amazing causes! These plants will be cheery additions to your Memorial Day gardens and décor! Can you believe it’s almost here?! This year we have the added bonus of getting together with our vaccinated friends and family maskfree. To further get ready, purchase one of our beautiful flags (3’x5’) with sewn stars for only $25 at the Exchange. Up until May 30. When you come in, mention this article and receive 10% off your purchase.

Mark your calendars: Cornelia’s Courtyard Sale, Saturday, June 18th! (don’t worry – I’ll remind you every week leading up to the actual event).

Get a head-start on your Christmas shopping. The Courtyard Sale will take place, where else, but on the patio outside the Exchange. The Sale will be 11:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. In addition to Christmas items at ridiculously low prices, we will have a variety of glass, china, linens, furniture and lots of other items. As part of this, we will have a couple of vendors. As always, the Shop will be open with our great merchandise. And leading up to this event, we will have a raffle – “Potted Greens.” Purchase your tickets (in the Shop) for a chance to win $100 – and the potted plant!

Open your hearts: Food Drive to benefit The INN, now through to June 17th.

I thought it would be nice to have a Food Drive not centered around the holidays, to focus on the fact that people need help ALL YEAR. So please, check your pantries, or hit the grocery store, and bring in non-perishable items. Those who donate food items will receive 10% off their Shop purchase on that day only.

Remember: we’re here for you six (6) days a week. We are open on Mondays!!

And, for those of you who work, we are still open late on Wednesdays until 6:00pm. It’s a great chance to shop in peace and quiet. We get newly consigned merchandise almost every day!

And we sell new merchandise – especially gift items – bought through the NY Gift Show. Therefore, I prefer to think of our shop as a Gift and Resale Shop. If you can’t make it in right away, please shop online at www.atstewartexchange.org and pick up your purchases at the Exchange. We also post photos on the AT Stewart Exchange Facebook and Instagram pages.

When you do come into the Shop, please follow our established sanitizing protocols and social distancing rules to keep everyone safe. Even though all the volunteers have been vaccinated, you will see that many of us continue to wear our masks. We offer hand-sanitizer when you enter the shop, and, to keep you feeling safe, we are running the air purifier which cleans the air in the Shop every hour.

Unfamiliar with the Exchange Consignment Shop? We are housed in The Garden City Historical Society (TGCHS) Museum on 109 Eleventh Street (in the basement of the building).

All the proceeds from the Shop sales directly benefit TGCHS. In addition to our best sellers – jewelry (costume and fine), lamps, mirrors, and crystal (Waterford, Baccarat, Tiffany) -- we take/accept silver, pocketbooks, china, furniture, artwork, and collectibles. All items are in new or nearly new condition.

We accept consignments Wednesday through Friday, 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. by appointment ONLY. This is done to safeguard customers, consignors and volunteers. Having appointments helps to keep down the numbers of people in the Shop and reduces wait-times to consign. Please call (516) 746-8900 to set up an appointment. Unsure if your items are appropriate to consign? Email photos to store@ atstewartexchange.org and be sure to include sizing info. You will generally receive a response the same day.

Remember: all the profits from the Consignment Shop support the maintenance and upkeep of TGCHS Museum.

Thanks to your generous support, work on the outside of the Museum continues.

The shop is located at 109 Eleventh Street.

Shop Hours: Mon - Fri: 10–4 p.m., Wed: 10–6 p.m., Sat: Noon–4 p.m.

For more information, please call (516) 746-8900.

LIRR Third Track Update

Both tracks on the Main Line will be out of service on Saturday from 1:17 a.m. to Monday at 2:27 a.m. this weekend, May 21-22. Please visit the MTA Planned Service Page (https://new. mta.info/) to plan your trip. Crews will continue working along the right-

of-way on the weekends. Although work will be intensive along the corridor from Floral Park to Hicksville, consolidating the work timeframe will minimize impacts to commuters and the surrounding communities, ultimately reducing the need for invasive track work for years to come.

This weekend, May 21-22 (Fridays at ~9:00 p.m. to Mondays at ~5:00 a.m.) crews are working along the right-ofway.

Please note that the LIRR and project team are utilizing upcoming Double Track Outages weekends to complete other necessary rail infrastructure upgrades along the corridor. *There are no double-track outages or intensive work occurring during Memorial Day, the Belmont Stakes, or Father’s Day/Juneteenth weekend.*

No. 2 in a Series of Reports from The Mayor’s Committee on St Paul’s

The Structural Integrity of St. Paul’s Remains Sound This report highlights the key findings resulting from the Design & Engineering Subcommittee’s second site inspection of St. Paul’s on March 18, 2022. A previous structural investigation was initiated by the prestigious engineering firm of Thornton Tomasetti and resulted in declaring the St. Paul’s building to be in good condition for re-development.

It was decided to review once again the building’s structural qualities given the extensive water infiltration problems identified during our first site visit in January 2022 that have taken place since the original Thornton Tomasetti inspection was conducted.

Built To Last As the report details, the “primary structural systems are intact and stable, and can be used for a future use.” This is an important declaration, for it eliminates the need to demolish St. Paul’s on the grounds of not being of structurally sound construction and therefore a current danger to the public. In fact, the exterior walls remain very stable, and given the tight mortar joints employed, show

virtually no signs of water infiltration. There are limited indications of disrepair along the various brownstone and sandstone architectural decorative details, but these can be rectified and pose no structural threat.

St. Paul’s is constructed of masonry and full 2” by 10” wood joists of yesteryear, which are largely holding. The interior of St. Paul’s is characterized by fairly identical floor layouts consisting of central corridors lined by perimeter rooms. The first floor has more architectural worth than the other floors, due to the cast iron, floor tile, and terra cotta details, etc. but essentially match the footprints of floors

2 and 3. (The exception being the main staircase area leading to the unique dining hall and chapel.)

St. Paul’s is a masonry load bearing building, which means the exterior perimeter walls and the interior walls of the central corridors largely hold up the entire building. Hence, future usage considerations will need to take into account the existing structural layout, as any change may involve steel reinforcement.

The width of the rooms on either side of the corridors cannot be easily changed, but their lengths can be shortened or extended as required. These layouts easily facilitate medical and educational usages, among others, as there is a limitation on room widths of approximately 20 feet.

Notwithstanding, the St Paul’s Main Committee should take into serious consideration ALL usage proposals at this time.

Interior Neglect Until recently, significant water damage has plagued St. Paul’s due to the decrepit state of the mansard shingle roof and the various flat roof surfaces. An extensive waterproofing and roof repair job has recently begun to halt the spread of the water moisture damage causing extensive interior decay, debris and structural failure, as well as the harmful growth of mold and moss.

The survey inspection confirmed that no asbestos is present in the building. Notwithstanding, lead paint is in evidence and a full abatement exercise will be necessary as an initial course of construction.

St. Paul’s may be divided into three main sections: The East Wing, the West Wing, and the Central Section.

An assessment of these zones follows:

5/20/22

27

Upon entering the first floor, the main hall entry and vestibule opens up to the main stair and provides access to the corridors and halls to the left (West Wing), right (East Wing) and center (Central Section) of the floor.

Water was present in the area around the stair. The stair system is constructed of Cast Iron and was generally noted to be in fair condition with a number of areas rusting due to water flowing down from the roof level and the main skylight above. The stair system is considered to be stable but requiring further inspection.

The two main spaces of the Central Section are the Chapel and the Dining Hall below. Both have been spared any extensive damage other than the peeling paint and ceiling damage associated with water infiltration.

The Chapel is a sight to behold with its fine Tiffany stained glass windows, wood carving and impressive pipe organ.

require replacement.

On the North side of the east half of the main corridor there were two rooms noted which had a total collapse of the 2nd Floor beams and walls. It appears that the floor beams deteriorated from moisture damage over time and failed.

First Floor

East and West Wings The structural system and layout on all three floors is similar, although in general, the existing conditions of the upper floors are in the worse condition than the first and second due to greater water infiltration from the roof above. The formidably strong corridor walls were all accessible and noted to have extensive peeling paint but damage to the ceilings and walls was minimal.

The larger rooms along the front or south facing side of the main corridor had significant debris, wet carpets, mold and failing plaster on the ceilings due to water infiltration from the 3rd floor sloped mansard roof. This was noted to be more extensive on the 2nd and 3rd floor. But bear in mind, this is largely cosmetic and can be easily remedied through replastering and repainting. It is also important to note that many of these interior spaces will need to be rebuilt to suit future usage considerations, so in effect, some of the damage due to water infiltration will actually serve to facilitate future demolition needs. Notwithstanding, the few locations exhibiting beam failure at the bearing end along the front wall as a result of water rot caused from above will

Second Floor

above. The roof framing was also noted to be exposed in certain locations on the third floor and rot was noted in those areas with much of the ceiling systems collapsed or requiring removal. The number of areas affecting the wood beams and ceilings are limited but do extend to the rear of the floor and into the rooms in those areas.

In addition, there are a number of rooms on the Clock Tower levels which are accessible from certain rooms on the third floor that also exhibited additional damage to the wood framing systems.

Extensive removal of damaged ceilings and flooring and a general clean up is needed to further evaluate which structural members require replacement. This would be normal procedure for any such renovation.

Recommendations The primary cause for the damage noted within the 3 floors and the upper levels are simply a result of prolonged exposure to water and moisture rot. Before any further evaluation can be performed the roof structure and membranes and/or shingle require complete repairs to ensure a watertight structure which can be repaired. This work is currently underway.

The initial phase to be executed, once the building roof leaks have been repaired, would be to stabilize the flooring systems, i.e., beams and subflooring, where there is damage due to the rot noted herein. Each floor requires a thorough mapping and inspection of the floors to locate those areas which have been damaged. Once the mapping is completed a plan for installing shoring and subsequent repairs can be made so that the structural systems are “generally” secure without the risk of a failure.

Summary Third Floor The entire perimeter area around these rooms will require shoring before any removal work can be performed.

The existing conditions of the 2nd floor are poorer than the first due to greater water infiltration from the third floor and the roof

In consideration of these conditions noted herein the primary structural systems are intact and stable and can be used for a future use once repaired as noted. In addition, the structure can accommodate modifications where needed to create enlargements by bridging and/or eliminating masonry walls with intermediate steel supports thereby allowing flexibility to any future designs.

WE’RE STILL OPEN

Members of the Garden City based Colonel Aaron Ogden Chapter NSDAR traveled to the Irish Coffee Pub in Islip on May 15th to support the Long Island Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) . SAR was celebrating their 113th Anniversary Luncheon and installation of new members.

In addition to the induction of new members, the ladies enjoyed hearing the SAR chapter's winning Debate Student, Vincent Tsay, make his presentation about Washington's retreat to Manhattan during the Battle of Long Island. Washington was aided by the Maryland 400, most of whom sacrificed

their lives in doing so.

SAR, much like DAR, is dedicated to historic preservation and patriotism.

SAR's current project is to place historic markers relative to the Revolution across Long Island.

The group of six DAR women attending this event were lead by Chapter Regent Carla Hall D'Ambra, and included Janet Littlejohn, Louise Rider, Arlene Fairhurst Kister, Janice Derr and Leslie Dimmling. The ladies were happy to support the SAR's dedication to matters of American history and be participants at their event.

Covid: The Long Goodbye

BY BOB MORGAN, JR. 26 months ago, when I first wrote about Covid-19 in this column, I would never have suspected that I would still be writing about the virus in 2022, except maybe in recounting past events. Unfortunately, however, I was wrong.

I’ll start with a personal story.

Last week, I attended an event in Manhattan for about 60 people. The event was indoors, but the venue was pretty spacious. Virtually no one, including me, wore a mask.

As it turned out, two of the guests at the event ended up testing positive for Covid, including someone I spent a considerable amount of time with during the evening. Thankfully, the two individuals who did test positive have had relatively mild cases of Covid with cold-like symptoms and are on the road to recovery. I don’t know the vaccination status of one of the individuals, but the other one was vaccinated twice plus a booster.

As for me, I feel fine a few days after the event and very much doubt I have Covid. If it helps, I, too, have been vaccinated twice plus a booster. Nevertheless, despite my belief that infection is unlikely, I was sufficiently exposed to one of the individuals at the event that I felt I had to go for a test, which proved negative.

As this is written, I will be working from home for one more day, and get an additional test, before returning to the office.

I recount this story because it seems to epitomize life in the late COVID age. Most of us have been vaccinated and/or developed natural immunity and deaths and hospitalizations are far below peak levels.

At least among people I know, cases of the virus are generally annoying but not serious.

But on the other hand, we have not nearly put the virus completely behind us.

While we are not at the contagion levels reached during the Omicron wave of last December, the number of cases still seems pretty high, both in health statistics (Nassau County, for example, just raised the virus alert level to high) and among people I know. I’m not interested

in debating how effective vaccines are at preventing the disease (as opposed to lessening its severity), but at least anecdotally, I’m hearing about many, many cases among fully vaccinated and boosted individuals.

This of course leads to the issue of what can we do against Covid.

Clearly we are well past the era of lockdowns and shuttered schools.

There is a serious debate as to how effective these measures were (and conversely how much harm was inflicted on schoolchildren) and the public is not at all willing to go back to 2020. Moreover, in these inflationary times, we probably can’t afford the massive government outlays needed to keep a locked down economy afloat.

Nor, short of a massive spike in hospitalization rates, is there much of a case for the return of mandates.

Mandatory vaccine requirements probably do have the effect of coercing individuals to gain more protection for themselves against the virus. On the other hand, in light of the high prevalence of breakthrough viruses among vaccinated people, you wonder how much good it does to restrict gatherings or workplaces to the vaccinated. As for masks, they may do some good at times, but many people regard them as intrusive and others are unwilling to wear the more effective N-95 ventilators.

None of this means there is nothing individuals or government can do to minimize the impact of the recurrent virus. Required or not, individuals, particularly at risk ones, can use common sense, which, depending on the circumstances, may involve improving ventilation, moving events outdoors, deciding to wear a mask, or even skipping an event. Government certainly can encourage the distribution or production of vaccines against newly emerging variants, as well as therapeutics, which have already improved the prognosis for many Covid patients. Like it or not, we are going to have to live with the virus for a considerable time.

books they do not finish, as long as they provide 300–word feedback as to why they chose not to finish the book.

ed me was that I love everything about aviation and to work on planes.”

Pasqualina, who was team captain of his school’s volleyball, fencing and track teams, said that he plans to study developmental engineering in the Air Force.

He said it also doesn’t hurt that the school is located the city of Colorado Springs, Colorado, so he’ll spend time mountain biking and skiing whenever he gets an opportunity.

Pasqualina choose to attend the Air Force Academy over the other college’s on his list, which included the University of Maryland, San Diego University and Binghamton University.

Brunning, who is attending the United States Naval Academy, said she was first attracted to the school in her freshman year of high school.

“The school really appealed to me since I was younger, because I love to play outside and roughhouse a bit,” said Brunning, who was captain of the girls varsity soccer team. “There is something about people who attend the service academies that are driven to succeed and that fits me to a tee.”

She said she made the choice before the May 1st college deadline to attend the Naval Academy over her other choice, Virginia Tech University.

Brunning added that she grew up around sailboats when she was a kid and spent lot of time in the water on her family’s sunfish sailboat.

She said she plans to attend the Naval academy for the required four years and commission as an officer for an additional five years upon completion of her graduation.

She said that she will report to the Naval Academy, located in Annapolis, Maryland, on June 30th, five days after her high school’s graduation on June 25th.

Outstanding students recognized by Board of Education From page 1 winning “Project Vision,” created to assist the visually impaired in navigating their environments at this year’s Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair.

Educator Christine Levins was then recognized for receiving the 2022 STEM Star Award from the Long Island STEM Education Leadership Association. She was selected for exemplary commitment to equitable student access to high quality learning experiences in STEM. Superintendent Dr. Kusum Sinha also shared that 117 students were inducted into national honors society on the basis of scholarship, leadership, service and character.

Sinha then put forward the District’s recommendation for Amanda Houser as the next coordinator of music and arts effective July 1. Since 2014, Houser has worked with Garden City’s middle and high schoolers conducting choirs, preparing them for competitions, and producing and directing their shows.

The Superintendent announced some retirements as well; Thomas Dunkin,

who served as a monitor for 10 years, and Debra Chapu, a bus driver of 23 years. “We really thank both of them for their years of service for our District,” she concluded.

Attendees were reminded that this year’s extended school program will be hosted at the high school because of ongoing capital projects in other District buildings and that school will be in session on May 27th, recognizing a snow makeup day from January 7th. A notice will be sent home to parents.

Reports from the Board

Dr. Sinha followed up on a question from a previous meeting about a potential conflict of interest regarding the District’s new mathematics and professional development program, known as Metamorphosis, and was vetted through Eastern Suffolk BOCES. She explained that Cassaro served as a consultant until 2020, with no ownership, special interest or financial gain in the company. At the time of review and selection of new resources, there was no conflict. Therefore, she said there was no violation of the District’s conflict

of interest policy. She said that when a trustee becomes aware of a conflict, it is their responsibility to recuse, which he did not.

She then announced that the Instructional Review Committee will be recommending a policy revision to the Board Policy Committee in the next few weeks. 15 parents serve on the committee and have given feedback on revisions and regulations that will be shared with the Board.

Trustees Tom Pinou and Matthew Wakeham gave updates from the technology committee. The committee will present at an upcoming meeting and the duo overviewed what they’ve asked the group to research and present to the Board. This includes successes that occurred at different schools at different grade levels, teacher interaction during the school day and at home, parental concerns, technology reviews outfitted for district advancement, next steps on google classroom, challenges, and more.

Stefanie Granville, Board Vice President, reported findings from the District’s Health and Safety Committee.

Their current focus is on finishing and

presenting a district health and safety plan to the Board during an upcoming meeting. They also discussed drills.

There are yearly drill requirements, but the past two years have been interrupted with COVID modifications. The District determined that it would like to move forward with pre-pandemic drills, which is significant because some of the village’s younger students have never experienced the real thing.

Then President Bill Holub discussed his experience at the Audit Committee, where auditors discussed plans for upcoming audits of the District’s finances along with timing. Their report will hit the Board in the late September early October timeframe. Other updates from internal auditors and a review of risk assessment are expected to come to the board in June.

The meeting went into recess to await results from the night’s election for three school board seats. A new Board President has been named, Arthur Gnecco, along with a new Vice President, Billy O’Donahue, and a new Trustee, Joe Sileo who will be filling Michael Cassaro’s vacancy.

GCMS band earns superior rating at Music in the Parks

On May 7, the Garden City Middle School eighth grade band under the direction of Ms. Iovino, competed at the “Music in the Parks” festival held at Westfield State University.

The ensemble performed in front of two adjudicators, professors from the Hartt School of Music and Westfield

State University. Their judged performance consisted of two pieces – “Structures” by Roland Barrett and “Dark Ride” by Randall Standridge. The GCMS band earned an average score of 92.5, resulting in a “Superior Rating.”

GCMS was one of only four schools out of the 12 performing to receive this top

rating.

While GCMS bands have been performing at “Music in the Parks” festivals since 2010, this year marked the first time they received the prestigious Esprit de Corps Award. The award recognizes a band that displays an exemplary attitude of positive support and

outstanding behavior.

After the morning performance, the band spend the day at Six Flags, New England, wrapping up a fun and successful weekend!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Email: Editor@GCNews.com From page 2

Censorship

To the Editor: I was reviewing the post that I placed on the Garden City Residents Facebook page questioning the paid advertisements placed by the Mayor’s St. Paul’s Committee. There were several comments that had been posted through Monday night. Tuesday when I checked for new postings I found the following message “An admin turned off commenting on your post”. My subject had nothing to do with the school board issues and should not have been blocked At the last BoT meeting (May 5th) the Mayor tried to say these were not actually advertisements but were just for information purposes. There was a $5600 purchase order for advertising issued by the Village to the Garden City News. How can the Mayor state that they were not advertisements? Mr. Peter Bee,Village Attorney, contacted me and advised me that similar expenditures are permitted when included in the budget and approved by the Board.

According to Mr. Bee the specific material was INADVERTENTLY not distributed to the Trustees. Transparency?

The Trustees were not even aware of the purchase order.

I will be speaking at the BoT meeting on May 19th and will keep you informed via letters in the GC News because the censors of the Residents Facebook page probably will not print them.

Poll results unclear

To the Editor:

“There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.”

In the May 12th issue, Francine Ryan (a current member of both the Mayor’s Committee on St. Paul’s and the Garden City Historical Society) wrote: “… roughly 5000 people showed up for the last vote about the building and 75% voted to NOT tear it down.”

I do not know what data were used to support her statement. My understanding is that the “last” vote on the disposition of St. Paul’s took place in 2008. That poll offered three options to the 5,002 citizens who cast their ballots as follows: • Mothball the main building of St. Paul’s for some unspecified future use.

1,857 votes (37%) • Allow St. Paul’s to be developed

by Avalon Bay (a private company) 873 votes (18%) • Demolish St. Paul’s 2,272 votes (45%) Unfortunately, the folly of having more than two options in that 2008 poll allowed for many different interpretations of the results. In fact, a local aesthete might rightfully claim that 55% of the voters did NOT vote for demolition.

However, a philistine villager like me might posit that 63% [18% + 45%] voted to NOT spend any more tax money on keeping St. Paul’s standing!

After three decades of a lack of preventative maintenance, which has increased the risk of a cascading engineering failure in this now decrepit structure, I do not expect that the Mayor’s Committee on St. Paul’s will come up with a deus ex machina in the

form of some feasible adaptive reuse of the building.

In conclusion, I sincerely hope that there will be only two options for our referendum this fall; here’s a suggestion: • Raze St. Paul’s • Kick the can down the road again.

Tony Giangrasso

Why two languages?

To the Editor: I have received a brochure from the Garden City education complex.

Will we ever get a proposal that attempts to cut and save? Of course not.

Our teachers and their associates are on the “gravy train.”

I also wondered why there are only two languages in the bulletin?

They utilize Spanish and English.

The author or authors could have been more inclusive. Why not print some copies in French, German, Japanese, Tibetan, Flemish, Russian, etc.?

Sincerely, (English) Arrivederci (Italian) Angelo DiPippo

Correction

To the Editor: An item and photo appeared in “Kordes Korner” recently [GC News, May 6, 2022] that identifies myself, Nelson DeMille, Greg Kelly and Mark Simone at “The book launch for Nelson DeMille’s novel, ’The Cuban Affair” in 2017.

This is not actually correct as it was a dual book launch for both Mr. DeMille’s book, AND for my novel, “Book of Judas.” We held the event jointly and

Mr. Kordes should have a) known who his hosts were, and b) get the facts straight seeing how there were books and posters all over the event space for both of our books.

Celebrate your servers

To the Editor: In these difficult economic times, it is important to patronize your favorite restaurants and honor the employees who make them a success. Now that most of us have received our Covid19 vaccine, lets all celebrate May 21st National Waiter and Waitress Day. Let your server(s), cooks and owners know how much you appreciate the excellent food and service.

Try to tip 20 percent against the total bill including taxes. If it is an odd amount, round up to the next dollar.

Why not leave a 25% tip in honor of this day? If you can afford to eat out, you can afford an extra dollar tip. When ordering take out, don’t forget to leave a dollar or two for the waiter or cook.

The people who work at your favorite restaurant are our neighbors. They work long hours for little pay and count on tips, which make up a significant portion of their income. If we don’t patronize our local restaurants, they don’t eat either. Your purchases keep our neighbors employed and the local economy growing.

Drop off a box of candy, cookies or some other treat for your favorite waiter or restaurant staff to celebrate this day.

New York State Campgrounds Gear Up for Another Busy Season

BY KAREN RUBIN TRAVEL FEATURES SYNDICATE GOINGPLACESFARANDNEAR.COM This will be a big year for camping in New York State, following a couple of years of record attendance as people in driving distance fled COVID confinement to revel in the great outdoors. Absolutely nothing brings a family together better than camping.

Last summer, to meet the demand and also to support the newly expanded, 750-mile Empire State Trail and the Erie Canalway (so you can bike from the tip of Manhattan to Canada, and from Buffalo to Albany), the state formed a partnership between the New York Power Authority, New York State Canal Corporation and Tentrr, to open more hassle-free campsites alongside New York’s Canals this summer. As part of then-Governor Cuomo’s Reimagine the Canals initiative and the “On the Canals” excursions program, Tentrr created fully-outfitted campsites for visitors to reserve, most within a short distance of a free “On the Canals” excursion opportunity.

Each of the Canalside camping locations offers turnkey, outfitted camping facilities, allowing guests to camp in style amongst the Canals.

Each site is fully equipped with all the amenities for comfortable camping including spacious canvas tents atop a raised platform, queen size memory foam mattress, solarpowered showers, picnic tables and Adirondack chairs, set up in advance of arrival. Among the campsites available within 15 minutes of an “On the Canals” excursion include:

A short walk from our campsite in Watkins Glen state park is this spell binding scene © Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com Yankee Hill Getaway (Amsterdam, Town of Florida): Wedged between the Adirondack and Catskills parks in the Mohawk Valley, the Yankee Hill Getaway site lies on a thin strip of land between the original Erie Canal and the current Canal system. (3 sites) Oak Island Vista (Waterloo): Nestled between Cayuga and Seneca Lakes along the Cayuga-Seneca Canal, the beautiful Oak Island site offers easy access to the best of the Finger Lakes Region. (5 sites) Montezuma Canal View at Lock E-26 (Galen): Campers at Lock E-26 will wake to views of the tranquil Erie Canal and have easy access to the Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge and Northern Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge. (6 sites).

Palmyra-Macedon Getaway at Lock E-29 (Palmyra-Macedon): The Palmyra-Macedon site offers picturesque views of the Erie Canal and easy access to a whole lot of

outdoor fun. (5 sites) To book, go to https://www.tentrr. com/pages/new-york-canals.

Reservations in New York’s magnificent state parks fill up fast (our favorites which we experienced during COVID: North-South Campground, Letchworth State Park and Watkins Glen).

New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation oversees more than 250 parks, historic sites, recreational trails and boat launches, which were visited by a record 77 million people in 2019. For more information on these sites, call 518-474-0456 or visit parks.ny.gov. To book a spot in a New York State campground, go to https://newyorkstateparks.reserveamerica.com/.

There are also a slew of private campgrounds which typically have more resort-style amenities and ambiance. Here, our favorite for facilities and really extraordinary experiences (a campsite with a full-blown

NYS Campground Owners Plan Improvements for 2022

Campgrounds across New York are busy adding new campsites and cabins, installing new amenities, and scheduling live entertainment and theme weekends in preparation for the upcoming camping season.

“Campground operators are really busy in the weeks and months before they open their parks for the season. Many of them are making improvements that will make their parks even better vacation destinations than they were last year,” said Donald G. Bennett, Jr., president and CEO of Campground Owners of New York (CONY), which hosts CampNewYork. com, the travel planning website for camping enthusiasts.

Bennett also noted that many campgrounds have experienced record occupancy levels during the pandemic. But as business levels increase, he said, campground Continued on next page

Protein For Older Adults

BY CHARLYN FARGO Can protein help you stay independent as you age?

Protein is known to slow the loss of muscle mass. Having enough muscle mass can help preserve the ability to perform daily activities and prevent disability.

Older adults tend to have a lower protein intake than younger adults due to poorer health, reduced physical activity, changes in the mouth and teeth and changes in absorption.

Recently, a research team from the United Kingdom studied whether eating more protein could contribute to helping people maintain independence. The study was published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society.

Researchers used data from the Newcastle 85+ Study conducted in the United Kingdom. This study’s researchers approached all people turning 85 in 2006 in two cities in the U.K. for participation. At

the beginning of the study in 2006-2007, there were 722 participants, 60% of whom were women. The participants provided researchers with information about what they ate every day, their body weight and height measurements, their overall health assessment (including any level of disability) and their medical records.

The researchers learned that 28% of older adults in North-East England had protein intakes below the recommended dietary allowance. The researchers noted that older adults who have more chronic health conditions may also have different protein requirements. Researchers examined the impact of protein intake on the increase of disability over five years.

The researchers’ theory was that eating more protein would be associated with slower disability development in elderly adults, depending on their muscle mass and muscle strength. And their research backed that up. Participants who ate more protein at the beginning of the study were

less likely to become disabled compared to people who ate less protein.

Dr. Nuno Mendonca, the principal author of the study, wrote in the Journal article, “Our findings support current thinking about increasing the recommended daily intake of protein to maintain active and healthy aging.”

Older adults should aim to eat about 1.0 to 1.2 grams of protein for every 2.2 pounds of body weight. For example, for a person who weighs 160 pounds, that would be about 72 grams of protein per day. That compares with the current recommendation for adults (young and elderly) at 0.8 grams of protein for every 2.2 pounds of body weight per day, or 58 grams of protein per day for a 160-pound person.

The bottom line is most adults get more than enough protein, but as you age, it may be beneficial to consume more protein to stay independent.

A Day at the Casino with Zzzabuu

BY LOU THEODORE You were reintroduced to Zzzabuu one year ago. He had arrived earlier in 2003 from the planet Zzokki in a faraway galaxy, having been dispatched to Earth on a fact-finding trip involving politicians in the United States. More recently, Zzzabuu had been selected once again for a special assignment

by The Superiors in 2021 to determine details (both pros and cons) of gambling investment opportunities on Planet Earth. As per instructions from the Superiors, Zzzabuu met with a retired, often confused, outspoken, nefarious chemical engineering professor (who shall remain nameless) in order to obtain background material and guidance prior to preparing his report on this assignment.

As promised, this third of five articles on gambling is concerned with casino gambling. This piece is particularly appropriate since New York State is now expanding casino gambling. In any event, here is my take on this betting activity.

Let’s proceed directly to the bottom line. For me, there are four modes of gambling in casinos: slots, roulette, dice, and blackjack. Before discussing each of these games, I should note two factors: all are games of chance (unlike pari-mutuel wagering – see August 1, 2021 article) and thus all chances of winning are a function of the takeout.

Remember, the takeout represents the amount of money returned to the bettor after the result of the bet has been determined, e.g., with a 5% takeout, the casino returns 95% to the bettor and retains 5% as profit. In any event, here is the lowdown on each of the 4 above games of chance.

of winning. Here is how I recommend you play. Put your money on PASS and roll the dice. If a 7 or 11 comes up on the first roll, you win and the game ends. If a 2, 3, or 12 comes up on the first roll, you lose and the game ends. If a 2, 3, 7, 11, or 12 doesn’t come up on the first roll, then 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 must come up, and the game continues. Whichever number amongst these six numbers come up on the first roll becomes “your number.” You then continue to roll the dice until either a seven (you lose) or your number (you win) comes up. The game then ends. However, after the first roll, you are provided the option to double your bet on “your number.” You should definitely avail yourself of this opportunity since the takeout on this latter bet is 0%. For example, if you roll a 4 or 10, or 5 or 9, or 6 or 8 on the first roll, the odds of winning become 2 to 1, 3 to 2, and 6 to 5, respectively. That’s it. Do not get involved with any of the

other available bets on the dice table.

Blackjack Often referred to as 21. Not my favorite; but it is the game of most of my gambling degenerate friends. The takeout is close to 0%! Many years ago, a group of MIT students started winning at the casinos by “counting.” A book describing their approach makes interesting reading but essentially involves counting cards. In the game, the dealer gets two cards (with one face-up) and the bettor gets two cards. You may request additional cards in an attempt to get as close to 21 as possible, BUT not go over 21. Whoever goes over 21 first loses.

If no one goes over, the winner is the player closest to 21. Counting? If a lot of high cards come out during the game, the bettor is at a disadvantage the next game. If a lot of low cards come out, the bettor has the advantage and should increase the bet the next game. How do

you count? Here is a simple method. I suggest assigning a -1 to discarded cards that are 2, 3, 4, or 5, and +1 to those that are 10, J, Q, or K. If your total is in the negative regime, increase the bet the next game.

I leave you with this: A day at a casino is a great day out, particularly for seniors. Follow my suggestions and you almost certainly will not get hurt. You want more? Go to the library and pick up a book on casino gambling or simply go on the Internet.

Contact me if you have any questions. Once again, just remember that LOTTO has a 50% takeout, and is therefore an ideal game for those poor in arithmetic.

I return later this year when Zzzabuu will report on sports betting.

Slots

Depending on the casino, the takeout here ranges from 1-10% with 3-4% a reasonable norm. Although it is the most popular game, I rarely – if ever – play the slots. Why? The takeout is simply too high. The game is easy to play: you simply press a button after inserting your money and wait for the results, hoping for a lot of noise.

Roulette

Once the game of royalty, the takeout here is approximately 3.5%. This one is also not for me. The game is easy to play: you put money on red or black and a number ranging from 1 to 35. The roulette wheel is spun and you hope for the circling ball to fall in the right slot.

Dice

My game. Some refer to it as craps.

I just love playing dice; it is all I play when I am in a casino. The takeout here can be as low as 0.5%; this effectively means you have close to a 50-50 chance

Social Security for Divorced Women

BY TOM MARGENAU My wife and I and a group of our neighbors were chatting the other day, and it dawned on us that there are eight houses in a row on our block in which each of the couples has been married for more than 50 years! Well, not quite.

My wife and I are the “newlyweds” on the street. We’ve only been married 48 years. But the other seven couples have all reached the half-century mark.

That’s more than 400 years of wedded bliss on our block alone. (OK, let’s be honest. It was mostly bliss. But there no doubt was a little bit of grief and sadness, or whatever is the opposite of bliss, in those 400-plus years.)

Anyway, it’s still a remarkable achievement. I think you’d be hardpressed to find another block with that many adjacent homes of marital harmony. (Interestingly, the major crossing street to our neighborhood is called “Harmony Road!”)

Having pointed that out, I know we are not the norm because we’ve all heard the statistic: at least half of all marriages in this country end up in divorce. So, I thought I’d use today’s column to address the issues faced by divorced couples -- primarily divorced women.

Let me start out with this point: With just a couple exceptions, a divorced woman is due the same kind of Social Security benefits as a married woman.

So, what kind of benefits are we talking about? Well, first of all, there would be her own Social Security retirement benefits. And she would be due those benefits whether she is single, married or divorced. Her marital status means nothing when it comes to her own benefits.

But let’s go over the rules that apply specifically to divorced women. The law says if she was married to a guy for at least 10 years, she is potentially due benefits on his Social Security account. If she has several ex-husbands, she doesn’t get benefits from all of them.

She will only get spousal benefits on the record of the guy with the highest benefit rate.

And just as with a married woman, a divorced woman will always be paid her own Social Security benefit first.

Only after she is getting whatever she is due on her own account will they look to her ex-husband’s record to see if she can get any additional spousal benefits from him. And because the spousal rate is between about 33% and 50%, there is usually a pretty good chance that her own benefit exceeds any of these smaller-percentage benefits she might be due as a divorced spouse. At least while her ex is alive, that is. Once he dies, it’s a whole different story. More about that in a minute.

But first, I need to point out one important distinction between benefits

paid to a divorced woman versus a married woman. A married woman cannot get any benefits on her husband’s account until he has signed up for Social Security himself. However, a divorced woman has a bit of an advantage when it comes to that rule. The law says a divorcee can get benefits from her ex even if he isn’t getting anything himself. He has to be old enough to be eligible for benefits, which essentially means he has to be at least 62 years old. But again, he doesn’t have to be on Social Security’s books as a current beneficiary.

As I alluded to earlier, if a woman has worked any decent amount of time, it’s a pretty good bet that her own Social Security benefit will exceed anything she might be due on a living ex-husband’s record. But if he dies, then things change. If she is over her full retirement age when that happens, her own benefit can be supplemented up to 100% of the ex’s full benefit rate.

If the ex dies when she is under FRA, she could employ the same “widow’s option” that would be available for a currently married woman. And that option let’s her start benefits on one record and later switch to higher benefits on the other record. For example, assuming she is not working, a woman could take divorced widow’s benefits as early as age 60. She’d get about 71% of her ex’s full benefit rate. Then she could switch to 100% of her own Social Security benefit at FRA. Or even wait until 70 and switch to about 130% of her own full retirement rate.

To further clarify the rules, I will answer a couple questions from some divorced women.

Q: My ex-husband recently died.

I am 58. When can I claim divorced widow’s benefits, and how much can I get?

A: At your full retirement age, you could get 100% of your ex’s Social Security. The rate is reduced roughly one half of 1% for each month benefits are taken before then, down to about 71% at age 60. In rare cases, a disabled widow can get the 71% rate as early as age 50.

Q: I am 62 and thinking of signing up for Social Security. My husband, whom I’ve been married to for 22 years, is 60. But my first husband, to whom I was married for 15 years, is 68. Can I apply for benefits from his record?

A: No. As long as you are married to husband No. 2, you can’t get any Social Security benefits from No. 1.

Q: My husband and I divorced many years ago. I have not remarried. I don’t know if he has. In fact, I don’t know anything about him except where he lives.

Will Social Security notify me when he dies so that I can file for widow’s benefits on his record?

A: Probably not. There is simply no way the Social Security Administration

can keep track of every person in this country and notify them when they might be eligible for any kind of Social Security benefit. And for years, I’ve been only half-jokingly telling divorced women in your situation this: Subscribe to the online version of the newspaper in the town where he lives -- and check the obituaries every day!

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

Stay safe and sound with good insurance

BY PHILIP A. RAICES I always ask my client sellers and new homeowners how much insurance they carry on their homes.

Surprisingly, the answers I receive are more varied than I would’ve anticipated. I believe the reasons are varied, e.g. what companies they use, their coverage, and who their agents are that are advising them and their reasons for doing so. There are sales people and then there are those few who I would consider advisors and/or consultants, like myself, who are professional in their approach and have strong expertise in their field; totally transparent, upfront and candid in the methods of conveying the crucial and critical information that sellers, investors, purchasers, renters and lessees of residential and commercial properties require to make conscious and accurate decisions. One’s home is the most valuable asset, that the majority of homeowners in the U.S. possess. Seeking out less than the most intelligent and knowledgeable real estate broker with the greatest number of years of experience is like “playing with fire.”

When it comes to homeowner insurance, the same would be required and necessary to seek out those professionals that will not “sell you” insurance, but working in the business and not at it, to provide you with an accurate and concise proposal and accounting for your home. No one wants to pay too much for insurance, but what you do want is adequate coverage for the majority of instances, whether it be most importantly to handle fire, flood, wind damage, theft etc. as well as personal liability in the event of someone hurting themselves in your home or on your property. With global warming and unstable weather patterns, e.g. hurricanes, severe wind storms, etc. rates have increased quite a lot over the past 5-10 years. That is why checking your policies yearly and seeking out additional quotes will be a prudent path to take to make sure you are receiving the “biggest bang for your buck” for your required and necessary coverage. Piggybacking your homeowner’s with your auto insurance policy will always provide you better rates as insurance companies want all your

business, not just a part of it. Some companies will have you install a device in your car to monitor your driving, but as a bonus will provide future discounts for those safe drivers.

Also, be careful not to put in minor claims to minimize any potential future increases in your yearly premiums.

Also, take the highest deductible that you feel comfortable with, as long as you normally have few if any claims, to increase your savings. Lastly, you might want to consider an umbrella policy up and above your basic policy, assuming you have other assets and desire stronger coverage. It is not an expensive addition and you will have greater peace of mind knowing that you have a stronger position with the best policy in the event of a major lawsuit or claim.

Any work to be done inside or outside your home, must be done with a licensed and insured contractor (or you are taking your own calculated risk in the event of any issues that might arise, e.g. damage to your property, person or any individual). You will need enough coverage, in the event that you might have to sue a contractor or are being sued by anyone(ask if you have coverage for this). However, when any work is considered, one must always ask your licensed and insured contractor for an additional certificate of insurance either covering you as a person of interest or if your property is titled in a corporate name, as an additional insured with your corporate name and I also advise you to have your personal name added on that insurance certificate too. A copy must be provided to you, as the homeowner in advance before any work is commenced. Better to be safe than sorry, as I have seen so many times in the past and still see today that issues and problems can and do come about. We all want to save money, but this is one area that cutting corners will potentially work against you if proper coverage isn’t considered as it will come back later

on to potentially hurt you financially when someone gets hurts, damage occurs on your property or worse there is a fatality!

HOA’s, townhomes, condos and co-ops are no different, but in fact proper insurance is even more crucial and critical as what happens in your place and any work that is done could have an adverse affect on other unit or property owners that live next to and within the community and complex.

Fires, floods, and physical and personal damage can have an immense impact on your personal financial well being, if you have less than adequate insurance coverage. Some developments may have certain minimum requirements to protect all homeowners in the event of a major or minor issue that might occur in the future. The corporation policy for the development or building should also be reviewed yearly by the board or their attorney, to update and/ or make changes as needed. Most do not read their policies, but I do recommend that you do so and especially the fine print too and to be safe you should go over your policy with your insurance agent and be prepared to ask as many questions as possible so you will be that much more informed about your coverage and what isn’t included or should be added to your policy.

Work to be done within a development or building also must be addressed with respect to any contractor who may need substantial insurance coverage that that will be more than sufficient to handle any and all potential issues and incidents that could and sometimes do occur. The boards of co-ops, condos and HOA’s should be diligent by consistently seeking proposals on a yearly basis inquiring and ascertaining the necessary information about their insurance needs and if any changes or updates might be necessary or required. Making sure their current policy that is effect is not only adequate for the needs of the unit owners but that the pricing is fair and within the budget of the prospective development.

Insurance is extremely important

to protect you and unit owners from claims and lawsuits, so be smart and aware of your specific, “needs and wants” in your policies and don’t procrastinate so give yourself enough time to review and update your coverage in advance of your policy expiration date.

Make Friends With Vega

BY DENNIS MAMMANA Week of May 15-21, 2022 Of all the books I’ve read during my nearly six decades of stargazing -- and there have been a lot -- my favorite isn’t a technical tome like you might imagine. It’s actually the inspirational and romantic autobiography of the late amateur astronomer and comet-discoverer extraordinaire Leslie Peltier.

In this marvelous 1985 book “Starlight Nights,” Peltier writes ever-so-eloquently of his passion for stargazing and how, as a wide-eyed child one springtime evening long ago, he read about -- and met -- his very first star: Vega.

He describes his encounter like this: “Vega, at that very hour in the month of May, would be rising in the northeastern sky. I took the open book outside, walked around to the east side of the house, glanced once more at the diagram by the light that came through the east window of the kitchen, looked up toward the northeast and there, just above the plum tree blooming by the well, was Vega. And there she had been all the springtimes of my life, circling around the pole with her five attendant stars, fairly begging for attention, and I had never seen her.

“Now I knew a star!”

That same star that fired young Peltier’s imagination is still in the heavens, waiting to inspire us too. This week

we can see it glistening low in our northeastern sky after dark, just like Peltier discovered. All we have to do is go outdoors and look.

Vega is the most brilliant star in the tiny constellation of Lyra, the harp, and it’s one of the three bright stars of the grouping known as the Summer

Triangle.

Even the most casual stargazer will notice Vega’s flickering and sparkling against the dark sky. This dramatic twinkling is due not to the star itself but to the turbulent air through which its light must travel on its way to our eyes.

Gaze at Vega and you’ll be looking

Vega is the most brilliant star in the tiny constellation of Lyra, the harp, and it’s one of the three bright stars of the grouping known as the Summer Triangle.

roughly in the direction that our sun and our entire solar system is racing at about 12 miles per second. No need to worry about a collision, though. Vega lies some 25 light years away -- about 150 trillion miles -- so nearly 4,000 centuries will pass during our journey.

This brilliant white star is more than twice as large and massive -- and produces some 40 times more luminosity -than our sun. As a result, it will exhaust its fuel in only one-tenth the time, making its expected life span only about one billion years.

While it now appears rising in the northeast, Vega will one day lie in our north. In fact, one day it will replace Polaris as our North Star. This will occur because our Earth wobbles like a tilted spinning top with a period of about 25,800 years. Because of this effect, the star Vega will be located less than six degrees from the north celestial pole sometime between A.D 13,000 and 14,000.

Vega is such an amazing and beautiful star in so many ways. If you’ve found one excuse after another to put off getting outdoors to learn the stars, take a page out of Peltier’s wonderful book.

When the Toilet Runs, Catch It

BY TRACY BECKERMAN As I was writing on my laptop in the living room, I soon became aware of a constant swooshing sound coming from down the hall. Having been down this swooshing road before, I knew immediately what the problem was.

Our toilet was running.

“What’s wrong with the toilet?” asked my husband when he noticed that the toilet seemed to be flushing forever.

“It’s running.”

“I know it’s running,” he said. “Why is it running?”

“Maybe someone is chasing it,” I said.

He rolled his eyes. Toilet paper might be in short supply, but the bad mom jokes were aplenty.

After a few phone calls, I realized that we had a bigger problem: There were no plumbers to be had. My husband offered to try to fix it himself, but

I suspected that he would be as good a plumber as he was an electrician, which was not all that good considering he’d once tried to fix a light switch, blew all the circuit breakers, and nearly burned down the house. When I’d asked him how he could have screwed it up so monumentally, he simply replied, “It’s all in the wrist.”

When the kids were little, we lived in a tiny house that had one bathroom.

It was inevitable that one day our toilet would revolt, and when it did, we couldn’t get a plumber in for two days.

We quite literally did not have a pot to... well, you know. But we did have my daughter’s potty! For the four of us. For two days.

It actually made the idea of an outhouse look good.

The bad news was, now that our kids had grown, we no longer had a potty to use. The good news was, we had a second bathroom. Still, I thought

it behooved us to get the running toilet to stop running before we had another issue, like a leak, which we also wouldn’t be able to get anyone in to fix for us.

The fact that the running toilet was in what we had designated as my husband’s bathroom allowed me to: a) point fingers and say it was his fault, and b) tell him he had to find a way to fix it, and c) stockpile air freshener in case he couldn’t.

This was good in theory, but with my husband’s checkered history in home repair, it seemed we had a better chance of solving the problem without causing a Noah’s Ark-sized deluge if I took charge. I looked online and within minutes I found a possible solution.

“I’m no plumber,” I said to my husband. “But I suspect that the problem is the doohickey inside the thingamabob

that’s not working right.”

He looked at me in utter confusion.

“The DOOHICKEY!” I repeated loudly. “In there!” I pointed to the tank.

He shrugged. I’d seen more enthusiasm from a slug.

“Argh,” I said. “I think we just need to do this.”

I walked over to the side of the toilet, adjusted the top of the tank and jiggled the handle. The toilet started to slow down and then went quiet.

“How’d you do that?” asked my husband in amazement.

I shook my hand.

“It’s all in the wrist.”

Do you remember the Betty Wales Bridal Shop? Well, this photo was taken by me in 1987 after a horrific fire gutted it and Kazemi rugs next door. This location was on the east side of Franklin Avenue just north of Stewart Avenue.

The fire occurred during the day just about 500 feet east of Village Hall and the Garden City Fire Department but spread very quickly. Mineola and New Hyde Park Fire Departments worked with Garden City to put out the fire. The building was left in ruins.

I was not working as a photographer yet in 1987, but I happened to be driving by and had my camera in the car. This view is of the rear of the store taken from above from the next door apartment building.

Stewart students stepped on stage to perform a variety of dances from around the world.

Garden City third graders at Stewart and Stratford Schools danced around the world as part of the annual World Festival Concert. Students performed a variety of songs and dances originating in different countries. It was the culmination of a research lesson where third graders explored different cultures within the social studies curriculum.

The students presented a Bollywood dance originating in India, the Tarantella dance from Italy, the Chinese Ribbon Dance and an African dance in front of a live audience made up of families and friends. The event symbolized unity while bringing the research unit of study to life!

Garden City Softball celebrates graduating seniors

Seniors Makrinos, Hearon and Rubio with varsity coaches.

Garden City Softball celebrated its graduating seniors Avery Hearon, Sophia Makrinos and Tiffany Rubio, during their final home game defeating Wheatley 6-3.

The team wound down a challenging but exciting first season in their newly assigned conference which they stepped up to this year in order to face higher levels of competition, after recent successes in their prior conference.

Coaches Marisa Reichman, Christie Sinacori and Renee Vaiano worked extremely hard to keep the team engaged and competitive fighting for every win this season.

Additionally, as Garden City Softball continues to expand in both size and

competitiveness, the High School responded by adding a Junior Varsity Team for the 2022 spring season.

Impressively, the new JV team succeeded in an undefeated season. Good luck to 2022 graduates and good luck to the 2023 players' season!

Information about Garden City Softball GCAA Organization can be found here: https://www.leaguelineup.com/welcome. asp?url=gcaasoftball GCAA has run baseball in Garden City since 1955, and softball shortly thereafter. Anybody with information about historical GCAA Softball please email gardencity.ny.softball@ gmail.com

It was another great performance for the GC Trojans Varsity Baseball team.

On Tuesday, May 10, before the game, Head Coach Dave Izzo and Assistant Coach Ray Chaputian held a ceremony to honor the seniors and their parents.

On senior day the boys won the game (9-4) this followed up Monday’s win (7-4) against the previously undefeated Generals.

Tuesday’s game was much like

Monday’s hard-fought win. The Trojans and the Generals battled most of the game. Garden City was down 5-4 going into the sixth inning but an explosive 6- run inning put the game out of reach for the Generals. Garden City also won on Wednesday to close out the regular season with a 14-4 record.

The seniors are Ben Cicione, Gabriel Elmokian, Peter Halloran (C), Patrick Heber (C), Francesco Ingrassia (C), TJ Krieg, Richie Longo, Joey Wood (C).
