BY RIKKI MASSAND
A beautiful July 4th day at the Pool was also “Family Fun Day.” Music, games and the annual Cardboard Boat Regatta made for a fantastic day. The pool did not disappoint on this hot summer day.

Garden City doctor helps to market natural sports drink BY GARY SIMEONE
Dehydration is a major cause of people feeling unwell and lethargic. Garden City resident and doctor Dr. Kamal Nayyar hopes a new product he and his colleague have recently launched will help to alleviate the symptoms that come with being dehydrated. The new beverage is called Infuse Chi, and it is marketed as a healthier alternative to sugar
and sodium packed electrolyte beverages such as Gatorade and Powerade. Dr. Nayyar and his colleague, Dr. Adalbert Pilip, who run New York Comprehensive Medical Care, came up with the idea for this new product after seeing multiple patients in their practice suffering from the effects of dehydration. “I’m a certified nephrologist
and my colleague, Dr Pilip, is a cardiologist,” said Dr Nayyar. “In our three year partnership working together we’ve seen many patients complaining of both mental and physical symptoms, such as heart palpitations, fatigue, dizziness and headaches.” He said dehydration was the cause of many of these ill effects and sports drinks like Gatorade See page 25
At its June 16th meeting, the Garden City Board of Trustees approved a redesign of the Village of Garden City website, authorizing the engagement of firm Civic Plus of Manhattan, Kansas, for a cost of $24,449 for the website redesign. In order to do so, the board also approved a transfer of $6,000 from the Village Hall Police Steps account into Data Processing -- Administration. Mayor Cosmo Veneziale has commented a few times on the need for a more user-friendly interface on the village website. The board did not detail components expected for a reimagined website. Trustee Bruce Torino commented on the “municipal lightspeed” in getting this firm interviewed, then having its proposal formalized on the agenda and approved on June 16. “This was done through the efforts of many individuals but I would like to recognize volunteers who engaged themselves in a particular project – through the efforts of Ms. Samuels and that of others, our website will look much better and it will bring us into a more cooperative ability to interface with residents. More things will be able to be done online, and you will be able to find things quicker,” he explained. Trustee Torino added that this website will be debuting in a few months, and at that time the board of trustees will be seeking feedback from residents “as to what works, what we need and what you think you’d want.”
Garden City Pool opens for season
Also at the June 16th meeting, Recreation and Parks Department Head Paul Blake noted that the Garden City Pool opened on June 11 to a nice sizable crowd and eager reception. He complimented all Garden City Pool members for coming down early in the season for their photographs, assisting the Recreation Department in processing cards. New Garden City Public Works Director Anthony DeRosa spoke about a request before the trustees to See page 25
