Schools to be tested for vapor intrusion from Superfund site

BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLIES

BY RIKKI N. MASSAND

like having a freight train in your living room. Their houses shook with the constant roar from a work train that wasn’t doing any work at all. It was just parked there with the engines roaring. This caused a sleepless Saturday night (July 27) for our residents.” The designated in-village “Third Track Project Ambassador” who works as a liaison with Garden City prop-

Out of an abundance of caution, on August 13th the Garden City Board of Education authorized additional “Vapor Intrusion Testing” for two schools in the district, Locust School and Stewart School, due to their proximity to the old Roosevelt Field Superfund site (a contaminated groundwater area, south of Old Country Road). In 2000 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency declared the area a Superfund site and in early 2018 a plan to rid the groundwater of contaminants trichloroethylene (TCE) and tetrachloroethylene (PCE) was announced. The estimated cleanup cost presented early last year was $13.14 million. No new detection of harmful materials or chemicals present in or around school grounds prompted this round of Vapor Intrusion testing. School Board President Angela Heineman explained that although school district officials are not worried, they chose to “be extremely cautious” in safeguarding schoolchildren. The school board approved a resolution for the testing, although it was a late addendum to the August 13 meeting agenda, and copies of the resolution and testing agreement were not made available. The vote was 4-0 as School Board Trustee William Holub was absent from the meeting. The district’s environmental consultant AKRF, Inc. were initially hired by the district on December 11, 2018. At that time of board approval, rates were stated as a total $15,975, and broken down: hourly rates of the firm’s team is $245 for principal, $220 for the project director, $180 apiece for the senior project manager, environmental engineer and hydrogeologist, plus $145 per hour for CADD operation and figure generation. Superintendent Sinha said the district has a goal of having the vapor intrusion testing done before school starts, ahead of Labor Day weekend. But she told the Board of Education that the time frame could shift into early September. Once testing is completed the Board and community will hear a report on environmental conditions at a fall board meeting. The August 13 agreement approved by the Board was connected to prior discussions, as the Board’s June meeting featured a presentation by AKRF. School Board Trustee Michael Cassaro confirmed with Dr. Sinha that the district is entirely confident in the report presented in June. She said the district advised the consultants to take steps to be ‘overly cautious.’ “We wanted to really look into the reports and review them to see

West POA ‘keeps track’ of LIRR issues BY RIKKI N. MASSAND Residents who live near the Long Island Railroad have recently expressed their frustrations with LIRR work trains idling along tracks near their homes, prompting the Western Property Owners Association to seek an open line of communication with LIRR officials about problems and progress of the controversial Third Track expansion project. In an email to The

Garden City News days after Greenridge Avenue residents reported LIRR work trains idling overnight in late July, WPOA President RoseAnn Vernice responded with the following comments: “Residents are unhappy with the lack of any notification. All those affected described the sound of the 300-foot-long LIRR work train idling on the tracks behind their homes for nine hours (12:00 am - 9:00 am) was

A WORD FROM THE PUBLISHER

Good ideas The Chamber of Commerce and the Village have certainly been having a great run with the weekly Friday Night Promenades on Seventh Street. The weather has been great for just about all of the events, and lots of people have been turning out. Kudos to those who have been running them! Another great idea that has been working very well is the outdoor dining available at most Seventh Street and Franklin Avenue eateries. Both of these ideas are the result of some outside the box thinking between

the Chamber and the Village, and do a great deal to improve the quality of life in Garden City n

As we head into the second half of August, the start of school is just around the corner. We were glad to see that the Board of Education is being especially prudent in ordering additional air testing for the schools that are near the water pollution site to the east of Garden City. While no problems have been found in the past, it is wise for the district to take a proactive approach.

To the Editor: A short response to Trustee Bolebruch’s comments in the GCNews (“Village weighs costs, space needs with Library Friends excess books” 8/9/2019). “--said the spider to the fly!” What is happening to the role of our GC Board? Not Good! Geri Moratti

Out of sight, out of mind?

To the Editor: Love the fence! Reminds me of an old adage: “Out of sight, out of mind!” Perhaps you could make it higher and eliminate St. Paul’s from the Village psyche completely. The BoT should give President Trump some advise on getting his southern border wall built, since they were so successful here. While on the subject, I am still waiting on the GC Historical Society to answer three simple questions: 1) WHAT of historic significance ever happened at St. Paul’s? 2) WHO of historic significance ever attended St. Paul’s? 3) WHO of historic significance ever taught at St. Paul’s? My guesses: 1) Nothing, 2) No one, and 3) No one! So why perpetuate this faux historic significance? Years ago, I suggested building a

year round indoor/outdoor pool (not a limited use ice skating rink) with a Community Cultural Center to bring the Village together in a cultural and athletic bonding. A partial source of funding should come from the sale of the existing GC Pool property (2½ months of use) to Adelphi University. They could use the space (already lease the parking lot for the school year) and we could use the money to fund St. Paul’s Redevelopment in the Community’s interest, not the current BoT’s misguided interest. Full disclosure: I have taught Accounting, as an Adjunct Professor, at Adelphi, but I have NEVER discussed my private thoughts as a GC resident with the Administration. Which begs another question, has any Village administration ever approached Adelphi on the subject? I doubt it, as that would require thinking outside the box! Hope this stirs some useful Community debate, in opposition to the Board’s dictatorial diktats! Thomas P. Brosnan

Clarification

In correspondence with The Garden City News this week Garden City Public Library Board Chairman J. Randolph Colahan asked to clarify and state his continued interests to serve the community on the Library Board: Several months ago, Mr. Colahan did threaten to resign if the village forced the Friends out of the Library. “We are past that now and that is

history,” Chairman Colahan said. He confirmed he was not and is not threatening to resign from his volunteer position. At the August 5th Library Board Meeting, Chairman Colahan commented that he wants “to help steer the Library through current issues and see the Library survive and thrive.”

20 kids right now, I do not know if the district’s guidelines are for 20. We are already at 19 and by the start of the school year we could see 20 students per kindergarten class across the grade, and I feel those numbers are too large for a kindergarten classroom. I want to express my concern to the board,” she said. Dr. Sinha explained that at Hemlock School, the average class size in kindergarten is 19.2. At the board meeting this week, she did not have specific totals for each of the six kindergarten sections to inform parents about. Pappas inquired if any sections were already projecting at 20 in a class. Maureen Lagarde is a parent of a second grader and a volunteer on the SEPTA (Special Education Parent Teacher Association) Board as curriculum representative of the primary level schools. She told the school board on August 13 the programs of Teachers College and FUNdations are amazing but she remains concerned about high class sizes among lower grades. Huntington Road resident Eileen Henke is the Locust School SEPTA school building director. She told Board of Education members and parents at the August 13 meeting that back in May, at the kindergarten registration open house it was a “standing-room only”

BY RIKKI N. MASSAND At the Board of Education meeting at Garden City High School on Tuesday, August 13, parents in attendance spoke about rising class sizes among Garden City Schools’ lower grades and the need for the administration to keep monitoring and addressing large classes. Superintendent of Schools Dr. Kusum Sinha said for the second-grade level at Stewart School, the enrollment numbers were noted as larger than planned a few weeks ago, with an additional section required for school year 2019-2020. “Where we are monitoring really closely is our third grade in both Stewart and Stratford schools where our numbers are high, at above 24 to 25 in those grade levels. We are monitoring those grades and lower grades very closely,” she said. During public comments, a parent thanked the school board and Dr. Sinha for supporting an eighth section of second grade due to high enrollment. But like many in attendance she wanted to hear about current district enrollment numbers for kindergarten, asking about Hemlock School in particular. “When we went to its orientation the number given to us was 19 students per class across all kindergarten sections. Being that some of our sections are at

crowd. That leaves concern over the amount of space allocated at schools to meet the community’s evolving needs, including questions over the space for students’ occupational therapy (OT) and physical therapy (PT). “I know the second grade class sizes are historically a larger number and Garden City must work with this. We know Stewart School is bursting at the seams and from what school officials have said, students are co-taught upstairs but it sounded like they are taking away from OT/PT areas which had me concerned about where, then, children are receiving the services within the school. There’s apparently a loss of classroom space with more being pushed in,” she said. James Kennedy of Dartmouth Street attended the August 13 Board of Education meeting in place of his wife Lauren Kennedy, a mom of three and a volunteer who attends nearly every school board meeting throughout the year. He asked about class sizes for Stratford School’s second grade for this year -- which DiCapua noted had a mean of 23.6 students per class -- as well as the first grade at Hemlock School, which she said has an average of 23 students per class. Kennedy told the Board of Education that large class sizes will inhibit chanc-

es for groundbreaking programs in Garden City Schools in 2019-2020, the partnership with Teachers College to focus on reading development in grades kindergarten through fifth, and FUNdations expanding into the second grades, to positively impact every student. That led to questions on professional development opportunities for staff being correctly targeted. Former Garden City High School Principal Nanine McLaughlin, who is beginning her first school year as the new District Assistant Superintendent for Human Resources and Leadership Development, commented that GCUFSD welcomes 15 new teaching staff, out of which 10 are “brand new” teachers for year 2019-2020. New teacher orientation days are set for next week, August 20 through 22. Dr. Dinorah DellaCamera has two young sons in the district, attending the 2nd grade and 4th grade this fall. She questioned Superintendent Sinha and administrators on the new hires and of them, how many are Wilson Reading System (language training) certified. That pertains to teaching concepts of language structure to students who are reading and spelling below grade level and those diagnosed with a language-based learning disability, such See page 38

Historical Society to honor the Mollie Biggane Fund & Family

The Biggane Family, founders of the Mollie Biggane Melanoma Foundation, clockwise from top center: John, Maggie, Jack, Julie and Cara. You won’t find better folks in this town than Maggie and Jack Biggane! You’d be equally hard pressed to find a Garden City resident that doesn’t know or know of this terrific family. Maggie, Jack, Julie, John and Cara turned the tragic loss of their beloved daughter and sister, Mollie, into an amazingly effective program which, it can legitimately be said, has saved hundreds of lives. The Garden City Historical Society searched for a few, select residents to honor as a part of the yearlong celebration of Garden City’s founding – special people for the 150th anniversary. The Society sought folks who represent the best that Garden City has to offer. It did not take long to settle on the Biggane family. True heroes of this town, they have brought both an awareness of and a better level of skin cancer health to all residents of Garden City, the region and all across the US. Take a short visit to the MolliesFund.org website. See for yourself the wide-ranging contributions, accomplishments and recognition Mollie’s Fund has gained. As a sophomore in college, Mollie Biggane discovered a mole on her thigh. In the following six months, she underwent surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. The Mollie Biggane Melanoma Foundation was created in her memory after her tragic death at the age of twenty. Since 2001, the Foundation has tirelessly strived to prevent this kind of loss from impacting other families. The Mollie’s Fund mission is to increase awareness for melanoma prevention, provide information and services on skin cancer detection, and sup-

port melanoma patients through education of the latest treatments. You can find Mollie’s Fund sunscreen dispensers almost everywhere that children gather and play! Show up at an outdoor youth sports event and you are liable to find a Mollie’s Fund sponsored skin screening clinic available. You can see their thoughtful, provocative and award winning infomercials on billboards, in magazines, on cable TV, in taxis and at sporting events. Check in with health teachers across the country and you’ll find Mollie’s Fund sponsored curriculum on skin care. As if the public advocacy wasn’t enough, the biggest contributions are in Mollie’s Fund-supported medical research. Breakthroughs are coming! Not satisfied with the amazing results so far, the whole Biggane family continues to focus great energy and resources on the ongoing fight to beat this cancer. We honor them for that selfless effort. The Society urges all to honor and to support them in this journey – go to Molliesfund.org and make a donation. Better yet, come and thank them yourself at The Garden City Historical Society Annual Benefit, Friday, September 20 at the Garden City Hotel — cocktails, dinner, entertainment, dancing and silent auction — $150 a ticket to celebrate our 150 year-old-town — and honor these special residents. Go to tgchs.org and click to join us for the Benefit. Can’t make it? Be a sponsor, make a donation or participate in our event e-journal to honor Mollie’s Fund at www.tgchs.org/2019-benefit.

Darlene Pergola-Apolant and Lisa Margaritis BY GARY SIMEONE Lisa Margaritis was a fitness enthusiast who lived her life trying to help other people. It was in the process of trying to save someone else’s life that Lisa lost her own on July 31st in a paddle boarding accident on the North Fork of Long Island. “She was part of a paddle board and yoga class on the east end, and she was one of three women to help a girl in distress in the water,” said Darlene Pergola-Apolant, a Jericho resident and a friend of Lisa’s. “She was trying to navigate under a bridge, and her board got caught on a piling and the current pulled her underneath.” She said a jogger who happened to be running by saw Margaritis struggling underneath the water and tried to pull her to safety. “The jogger tried to save her by performing CPR, but by then it was too late,” said Pergola-Apolant. “It was a very sad day for the fitness community and everyone in general.” Margaritis, who was 47 years old, was a guest last year on Pergola-Apolant’s radio show, ‘WTFwithDarlene.’ “At the time I interviewed her, she was a trainer at Lifetime Fitness-in Syosset. We talked about how she had

totally transformed her mind and body after being obese most of her life and suffering from a heart attack.” Pergola-Apolant said she shared her radio show interview with Lisa this past Monday, and will have a month-long tribute to her on Cablevision channel 20 this month. Melina Arnberg, a fitness manager at the Lifetime Fitness in Garden City, said that, “Lisa was an incredible human being who had a massive impact on anyone she met.” She said the two sister clubs in Syosset and Garden City are planning a Remembrance Ceremony for her at the Garden City location on August 22nd from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. “She was a boxing teacher at Syosset and taught private classes for disabled teenagers at the Garden City location,” said Arnberg. “She was the type of person who made a difference in people’s lives wherever she went.” The ceremony will be held both inside the facility and outdoor on the pool deck. There will be yoga and boxing classes and food and music for both members of the gym and non-members alike. In addition, a GoFundMe page has been set up to continue Lisa’s legacy.

Speed Awareness Week Enforcement Mobilization

Between August 1- 7, the Garden City Police Department participated in the Statewide Speed Awareness Week Enforcement Mobilization. During the initiative, Officers issued 209 traffic citations including 77 for excessive speed, seven for driving with a suspended license, nine for cell phone/ electronic device violations, as well as 116 other moving violations. The Governor’s Traffic Safety Committee states: speed continues to be a predominant factor in traffic crashes in New York State. In 2016, nearly one-third (31 percent) of all traffic fatalities in New York were caused by speeding; 314 people lost their lives in these preventable collisions. August was the deadliest month for speed-related crashes in New York with 39 people killed. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says three out of every 10 drivers are self-professed “speeders.”

3rd track update: Hempstead Branch service suspended

The LIRR Expansion Project will perform its third bridge installation project of the summer on the weekend of August 17-18, 2019, as crews install a new bridge over South Tyson Avenue in the Village of Floral Park. The new bridge will address a bottleneck at this section of the LIRR’s Main Line – where four tracks merge into two – and accommodate a future third track to increase capacity and improve service reliability. As a result, Hempstead Branch service will be suspended east of Floral Park (as well as at Bellerose Station) from approximately 12 AM Saturday to 12:30 AM on Monday as work is performed. During this time, Hempstead Branch trains will continue to operate out of Atlantic Terminal, but will originate and terminate at Mineola Station (instead of Hempstead). There will be no train service at Bellerose, Stewart Manor, Nassau Boulevard, Garden City, Country Life Press and Hempstead. As an alternative, customers can use nearby stations and NICE Bus

The Village has received information from Nassau County Legislator Laura Schaefer’s office with regard to a $75,000 grant that would help further offset the cost of the recent portable radio upgrade purchase. The Fire Department radio console upgrade project at Fire Headquarters was completed in late 2018 as well as the Point-to-Point communications between the Fire Department and Nassau County FireComm dispatch center and our radio repeater at Fire Headquarters. This work upgraded our 25+ year old radio console and communications infrastructure to the latest technology and has eliminated the need for the soon-to-be decommissioned leased copper phone lines.

This is an aerial view looking south with Glen Cove Road in the foreground going under the LIRR bridge. Glen Cove Road turns into Clinton Road at Old Country Road with Roosevelt Airfield on the left. The photo dates to the late 1940’s and Mitchel Field can be seen in the upper left of the photo. The large structure with the checkerboard pattern is a natural gas tank on Stewart Avenue. Just south of Roosevelt Airfield is a small golf course. On the right side of Clinton Road in the distance is the newly built “Mott Section” of Garden City. Closer on the right by the corner of Clinton Road and Old Country Road is a large parcel of empty land which would become the last major housing development in Garden City in the early and mid 1950’s called “Pell Gardens”. Roosevelt Airfield closed in the early 1950’s and Mitchel Airfield closed ten years later.

Cathedral of the Incarnation 36 Cathedral Avenue, Garden City, NY 11530 www.incarnationgc.org

For better or worse, the news cycle has been very much jumping around in recent days. Last week, I wrote a non-controversial piece about the auctions at Saratoga, frankly needing a little time to digest and say something reasonably original about the tragic shootings in El Paso and Dayton. As sometimes happens, this story has been somewhat eclipsed by some other developments, including the very weird death of Jeffrey Epstein. I’m not sure that I have come up with particularly new insights on the gun control debate arising from El Paso and Dayton. As I have written before, I do not believe that there is any politically feasible one-size-fits-all solution to the plague of gun violence in the United States. There are approximately 350 million guns and a specific Constitutional amendment guaranteeing the right to bear arms. The government is not going to undertake a house to search anytime soon for weapons, and such a search program would be almost certainly unconstitutional under both the Second and Fourth Amendments. Universal gun registration, even if constitutionally permissible (not clear), would be extremely unpopular and criminals would be very unlikely to participate in the program. There is also a huge philosophical divide on guns between urban centers like New York and Chicago where guns are restricted heavily and more rural areas like parts of Tennessee, where hunting is an important pastime and gun ownership is considered to be an essential part of protecting the family. The United States tried an assault weapon ban from 1994 to 2004 and its overall benefits were quite at best debatable. This is not to say that there is nothing at all that can be done to cut down the number of wanton gun attacks.. There likely some merit to making background checks more universal, and to prohibiting sales of firearms to people who show clear signs of mental illness (the so called “red flag” warnings). Unfortunately, this is largely attacking the problem

at the margins. As for the political part of the debate relating to the two massacres, this all seems to be pretty thin gruel. The Dayton shooter apparently had something of a twisted leftist ideology, while the crazed El Paso gunman seemed to be strongly anti-immigrant. Many Democrats, while complaining that President Trump was politicizing these tragedies, were pretty clearly doing the same thing by attempting to blame Mr. Trump, or conservative commentators, for the vile acts of the El Paso killer. I wish President Trump would restrain himself before he sends out angry Tweets or makes or condones inflammatory statements at rallies. But Mr. Trump is hardly the only source of over the top statements and rhetoric on the political scene. To take one of many examples, just this week two leading Democratic presidential candidates, Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris, each thought it was a good idea to stir up racial passions again about the Ferguson case five years ago by sending out Tweets stating, against the weight of the evidence (and the conclusion of President Obama’s Justice Department), that a black man was murdered by a police officer. Again, it would be far better if everyone on the political scene would temper their words better. But it is almost always unfair to blame one person, or one side of the political debate, for the insane acts of shooters. Turning to the odd situation involving Jeffrey Epstein, and recognizing that not all the evidence is in, my best guess is that this is simply a remarkable example of gross incompetence by prison officials and employees. Nevertheless, you don’t have to be a rabid conspiracy theorist to wonder about what happened here. It not at all clear why Mr. Epstein, who may have been able to implicate prominent people in sordid activities, was taken off suicide watch (despite an apparent previous attempt) and then was left alone in a cell with guards not making scheduled rounds. This really, really calls for a thorough investigation.

If you cannot attend our event please consider donating in memory of our beautiful Rose!

Doris Theresa Rosenstock, age 86, passed away peacefully and from natural causes on July 23rd in Ocala, Florida. She was born on June 16, 1933 in Ridgewood, Brooklyn, New York to Oscar and Karolina (Wendel) Kerler. Doris was a very special woman, the epitome of perseverance. Struck with polio as a child the prognosis of which was that she would never walk again, she set a goal to be back on her feet in time to receive her Sacrament of Communion. Her strong faith in God and therapy help from her father and brother attributed to her recovery so that she could proudly climb the cathedral steps in time to receive communion with her peers. This kind of recovery was not at all normal for the times. At 17, Doris wanted an office job in Manhattan. First, she selected the building she wanted to work in, a skyscraper overlooking Rockefeller Plaza with its famous Christmas tree and ice rink. Then she found a company inside to hire her namely, National Electric Supply where she worked as a secretary for several years. During the Korean War Doris had regular correspondences with her friends overseas. She would write to them about the news at home and in turn they sent her letters about what was going on during the conflict. One pen-pal who was extremely fond of Doris was her sweetheart Ernest Frederick Rosenstock. They were married on September 7th of 1952 upon his return

from the Air Force. Doris and Ernie shared 57 wonderful years together before he preceded her in death in 2009. As a young mother, Doris wanted her children to attend great schools so she hunted for affordable fixer-uppers in Nassau County, Long Island. With Ernie at work and the kids at school, Doris tackled house repairs and restored a succession of beautiful family homes her last being on Euston Road in Garden City. In her late thirties, she proudly achieved a personal goal of earning her baccalaureate degree from Adelphi University and after that worked as a Realtor and later a tax preparer, but always made her homemaker responsibilities top priority. Doris and Ernie retired to Florida in the 1990s and settled in Ocala, where the former city girl enjoyed many things including drives amongst horse filled pastures and visits and calls from her children, friends and neighbors. When Ernie was debilitated by Alzheimer’s disease, Doris’s perseverance again came to the fore and she cared and nurtured him to the end. Doris is survived by her loving children; E. Michael Rosenstock (son) and his wife Karen (Fischer) of Baldwin, NY; Christine Olsen (daughter) and her husband Kristian of Cincinnati, OH; and Caroline Hall (daughter) and ex son-inlaw Timothy of Atlanta, GA; her grandchildren: Kimberly, Douglas (Erin), and Jeffrey Rosenstock (Christine), Heather Chasey (Ross), Erik Olsen, Gregory Olsen, Nathaniel Hall, Dillon Hall, and Harrison Hall. She is also survived by five great grandchildren: Jaxon, Analiese, Alexa, Hayden Kate, and Stella in addition to her sister-inlaw Helga Kerler, many nieces, nephews, longtime friends Peter and Edith Dittmer and other wonderful friends too numerous to list. She is pre-deceased by her beloved younger brother Oscar Kerler of Connecticut. Please join in celebrating her life Monday morning September 9, 2019 at 11:00 AM at the Florida National Cemetery in Bushnell, Florida. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her name to Hospice of Marion County

IN MEMORIAM

Adele Pompilio

On Monday, August 5th, 2019 Adele Pompilio, passed away peacefully at Mercy Hospital just before her 79th birthday.

For his 15th birthday, Matthew McCoy of Tullamore Rd. asked friends and neighbors to donate backpacks and school supplies in lieu of a traditional birthday gift. With the generous support of his friends from school, the GC community, and Camp Anchor, as well as neighbors from Tullamore Rd., Matthew collected over 35 backpacks that he donated to the INN (Interfaith Nutrition Network). He is honored to be able to help 35 children start their school year off with new supplies and wishes them all a successful school year.

Adele was born on October 24th, 1940 in Richmond Hill, Queens. She married her High School Sweetheart Robert Pompilio and is survived by her three children Andrew (PA), Cathy (NY) and Robert,Jr. (NJ). Better known to her children’s friends as “Sarge”, you could hear her call them for dinner at the corner of Grove Park. Adele lived her life stylish and without reserve. Her childhood taught her to be determined and how to persevere, traits that she taught her children well. Adele was involved in Girl Scouts, The GC Rams, numerous programs for the Garden City High School and as a Crossing Guard for The Garden City Police Department. A wake was held at Park Floral Chapel in Garden City Park and she is laid to rest at Cedar Grove Cemetery in Flushing, NY.

1. To qualify for the advertised APY, you must enroll your new or existing Platinum Savings account in this offer between 07/08/2019 and 08/30/2019 by speaking to a banker and requesting the special rate. Offer is subject to change at any time, without notice, and is available only to Platinum Savings customers in the following states: CT, DE, FL, NJ, NY, PA. In order to earn the Special Interest Rate of 1.98% (Special Rate), you must deposit $25,000 in new money to the enrolled savings account and maintain a minimum daily account balance of $25,000 throughout the promotional interest rate period. “New money” is money from sources outside of the customer’s current relationship with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. or its affiliates (which includes all deposit, brokerage and loan/credit accounts). The corresponding Annual Percentage Yield (APY) for this offer is 2.00%. The Special Rate will be applied to the enrolled savings account for a period of 12 months, starting on the date the account is enrolled in the offer. However, for any day during that 12 month period that the daily account balance is less than the $25,000, the enrolled account will not be eligible for the Special Rate and will instead earn the applicable Standard Interest Rate for a Platinum Savings account. As of 05/31/2019, the Standard Interest Rate and APY for a Platinum Savings account in CT, FL, NJ and NY with an account balance of $0.01 and above is 0.05% (0.05% APY); and for a Platinum Savings account in DE and PA with an account balance of $0.01 to $99,999.99 is 0.05% (0.05% APY) and with an account balance of $100,000 and above is 0.10% (0.10% APY). Each tier shown reflects the current minimum daily collected balance required to obtain the applicable APY. Interest is compounded daily and paid monthly. The amount of interest earned is based on the daily collected balances in the account. Upon the expiration of the 12 month promotional period, then-current Standard Interest Rates apply. Minimum to open a Platinum Savings account is $25. A monthly service fee of $12 applies in any month the account falls below a $3,500 minimum daily balance. Fees may reduce earnings. Interest rates are variable and subject to change without notice. Wells Fargo may limit the amount you deposit to a Platinum Savings account to an aggregate of $1 million. 2. Available in-branch only; you must speak with a banker to request the special rate. Annual Percentage Yield (APY) is effective for accounts opened between 07/08/2019 and 08/30/2019 and requires a minimum of $25,000 in new money brought to Wells Fargo. “New money” is money from sources outside of the customer’s current relationship with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. or its affiliates (which includes deposit, brokerage and loan/credit accounts). Public Funds and Wholesale accounts are not eligible for this offer. APY assumes interest remains on deposit until maturity. Interest is compounded daily. Payment of interest on CDs is based on term: For terms less than 12 months (365 days), interest may be paid monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or at maturity (the end of the term). For terms of 12 months or more, interest may be paid monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. A penalty for early withdrawal will be imposed and could reduce earnings on this account. Special Rates are applicable to the initial term of the CD only. At maturity, the special rate CD will automatically renew for a term of 6 months, at the interest rate and APY in effect for CDs on renewal date not subject to a Special Rate, unless the Bank has notified you otherwise. 1., 2. Due to the new money requirement, new accounts may only be opened at your local branch and you must speak to a banker to request the special rate offers for both new and existing accounts. Wells Fargo reserves the right to modify or discontinue the offer at any time without notice. Minimum new money deposit requirement of at least $25,000 is for this offer only and cannot be transferred to another account to qualify for any other consumer deposit offer. If you wish to take advantage of another consumer deposit offer requiring a minimum new money deposit, you will be required to do so with another new money deposit as stated in the offer requirements and qualifications. Offer cannot be: • Combined with any other consumer deposit offer. • Reproduced, purchased, sold, transferred, or traded. 3. The Portfolio by Wells Fargo program has a $30 monthly service fee, which can be avoided when you have one of the following qualifying balances: $25,000 or more in qualifying linked bank deposit accounts (checking, savings, CDs, FDIC-insured IRAs) or $50,000 or more in any combination of qualifying linked banking, brokerage (available through Wells Fargo Advisors, LLC) and credit balances (including 10% of mortgage balances, certain mortgages not eligible). If the Portfolio by Wells Fargo relationship is terminated, the bonus interest rate on all eligible savings accounts, and discounts or fee waivers on other products and services, will discontinue and revert to the Bank’s then-current applicable standard interest rate or fee. For bonus interest rates on time accounts, this change will occur upon renewal. If the Portfolio by Wells Fargo relationship is terminated, the remaining unlinked Wells Fargo Portfolio Checking or Wells Fargo Prime Checking account will be converted to another checking product or closed. © 2019 Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.

THIS WEEK AT ROTARY

Joseph Packard, Club President, Lonnie Sherman, president/founder, GENERAL NEEDS;, guest speaker; and Althea Robinson, Speakers Bureau Co-Chair.

“General Needs” to the Rescue for Homeless Veterans

Last Monday, on August 12 at the lunch meeting of the Mineola-Garden City Rotary Club, Rotarians welcomed back Lonnie Sherman, president and Founder of GENERAL NEEDS, an orga-

nization inspired by Lonnie and is a project of the Ronkonkoma Rotary Club. This service organization provides new items to needy Veterans and their families – more of them here on Long Island that one might realize. With the motto : “To serve homeless

veterans with dignity,” and the mission to provide basic quality necessities for thousands of veterans here on Long Island. Lonnie began GENERAL NEEDS 11 years ago. It started by serving 150 homeless Veterans. Today, through Lonnie’s personal efforts, dedicated supporters, volunteers and sponsors, GENERAL NEEDS has given some 1,400 homeless Veterans – many suffering from depression and anxiety, and many without a roof over their heads, a chance to regain their dignity and turn their lives around. Members and guests in attendance were inspired by Lonnie Sherman’s accounts of how GENERAL NEEDS continues to come to the rescue of needy Veterans and their families; how in addition to supplying every day necessities, major projects are held to collect and provide waterproof winter Boots, holiday coats and gifts, Homemade Blankets and much, much more. The Mineola-Garden City Rotary Club has been a supporter of GENERAL NEEDS for many years, providing Lonnie Sherman with all sorts of everyday items along with monetary assistance. Among additional articles gratefully received on a regular basis, are underwear socks & T-shirts, towels and blankets; a variety of toiletries, and

both warm a cold weather gear to name but a few, with all items new – the rule! For information about GENERAL NEEDS, to learn how to become a sponsor, contributor or donor to this 501(C) (3) approved Veterans non-profit organization that does do much for so many, visit www.GeneralNeeds.org or call Lonnie Sherman at 516-672-9595.

Cathedral’s “Seedlings” helps families grow together Cathedral of the Incarnation’s summer program “Seedlings” came to a close this past Wednesday, after six weeks of STEAM projects (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics) with spiritual stories and devotions. The program allowed young spiritual explorers and their parents and guardians to grow closer to God through explorations of the natural world. Each session began with a sacred story from the Bible, followed by a creative science project that elaborated on the theme. One week opened with the parable of the mustard seed. Kids looked at flowers, bugs, and other tiny objects through a microscope to see how very small things, like the mustard seed, can actually be quite complex.

Another session began with the story of Noah’s Ark and the rainbow that appeared as a promise from God. Kids and their parents learned how rainbows are created with prisms, bubbles, and a unicorn sprinkler. Cathedral for Kids is a ministry of the Cathedral of the Incarnation, which includes a worship service for families every Sunday at 9:15 a.m. Fellowship in Faith for Families will return on September 15 at 10 a.m. This weekly program offers a rotation-based Sunday School curriculum that involves the exploration of children’s spiritual lives through art, storytelling, music and movement. Parents are invited to join their children in the classroom for observation and participation, or they can enjoy a cup of

Garden City Girl Scouts receive Gold Award

Jennifer Alden

Elizabeth Fetherston

Girl Scouts of Nassau County recently hosted its annual Gold Award ceremony at The Madison Theatre at Molloy College. During the event, 91 local Girl Scouts earned their Gold Award, including Jennifer Alden, Elizabeth Fetherston, Theresa Hughes, Katharine Jushchenko and Alexandra Stefanik of the Garden City Service Unit. The Gold Award program recognizes the power and dedication shared by an elite group of young women who earn the highest honor a Girl Scout can achieve. “We are incredibly proud to celebrate this distinguished group of young women who have spent countless hours dedicated to their Gold Award projects,” said Rande Bynum, chief executive officer, Girl Scouts of Nassau County. “These young women have demonstrated they are ready to be leaders of tomorrow! Throughout this process they’ve exemplified confidence and concern for making a positive impact in their communities.” Girls in grades 9-12 begin their Gold Award journey by identifying a civic or social issue they care about. Next, a Girl Scout builds a team to support her project with the mission to create a positive impact in her community by addressing an issue she feels passionate about. Through the process, Gold Award Girl Scouts build invaluable problem-solving, organizational and leadership skills, while educating and inspiring others. The Gold Award Girl Scouts each tackled a project that held a deep significance to them. Their projects are described below.

Jennifer Alden

As a member of her local church, Jennifer wanted to show her com-

Theresa Hughes

munity, especially the younger generations, the impact the history of the church has on her village’s culture. In creating I Spy Cathedral Tours, she was able to educate those around her on the importance of the Cathedral of the Incarnation. Jennifer created simple and easy tour guides for young children and their families. The tours went beyond a simple history lesson, showing people in her community how they can come together as one when there is a supportive environment. The tour guides and books are available for anyone who visits the cathedral. Jennifer is a recent graduate of Garden City High School. She was a member of her school’s fashion and psychology clubs as well as an active volunteer within her church. She will be attending the University of Scranton this fall. Her fondest Girl Scout memory is going to the Brooklyn Bridge for her bridging ceremony and spending the day exploring the city with her troop afterward.

Elizabeth Fetherston

Elizabeth created her project, Music Has No Age, after being inspired by her time spent with her grandfather. Before his passing, Elizabeth would spend time visiting her grandfather. It was during that time she learned how secluded homebound seniors can truly feel. In partnering with her local church, she created a program that connected homebound seniors with people from her community. She also incorporated her love of music into the mix, listening to songs of all genres and ages with those she visited. The program will continue to connect homebound seniors with visitors, giving them much needed access to the outside

Katherine Jushchenko world. Elizabeth is a recent graduate of Garden City High School, where she was captain of the swim team and a member of the Music Honor Society. She will be attending Loyola University in the fall. Her fondest Girl Scout memory is wrapping presents for children-in-need during the holidays with her fellow troop members.

Theresa Hughes

Recognizing that keeping track of money and budgeting can be overwhelming and difficult, Theresa created her project, Everyday Budgeting for Single Mothers, in an effort to help teen and single mothers with financial planning. In meeting with several different groups of young mothers, Theresa helped create booklets containing monthly budgeting pages to help them organize their spending. Note card expanders were also included, helping them divide their money into different categories. The materials are now being used in “Momma’s Houses” and Bronx Regional High School. Theresa is a recent graduate of Garden City High School, where she was president of the Latin Club and a member of the National Honor Society. In the fall, she will attend Boston University. Her fondest Girl Scout memory is sleeping under the whale exhibit at the American Museum of Natural History with her troop.

Katharine Jushchenko

Katharine took on the challenge of informing her community about the dangers of keeping unused prescription medicines in homes through her project, Prescription Opioid

See what's happening at your library!

Alexandra Stefanik Education and Disposal. During her information sessions, she educated attendees on the ways unused prescriptions are fueling the opioid epidemic and offered tips on safe ways to dispose of medicine. To reach a wider audience, Katharine also created a website to give people access to their closest location for safe drug disposal sites. A rising senior of Garden City High School, Katharine is drumline captain of the marching band and captain of the varsity rifle team. She has been accepted into the United States Coast Guard Academy’s A.I.M summer program. Her fondest Girl Scout memory is taking overnight trips to Frost Valley with her troop.

Alexandra Stefanik

Alexandra created her project, Do Not Fear the Unknown, as a way to raise awareness about the discrimination the LGBTQ+ community faces. Illustrating and writing her own graphic novel, she was able to develop characters who were going through various forms of discrimination and oppression. Alexandra also gathered information and printed different brochures, giving advice to people who are coming out, as well as people who have already come out. The graphic novel she created is free on her website, where she continues to advocate for change for the LGBTQ+ community. Alexandra is a recent graduate of Garden City High School, where she was president of the literacy club. This fall, she will attend the Rhode Island School of Design. Her fondest Girl Scout memory is completing her Silver Award with other troop members.

First published in 1963 by Mildred H. Smith

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 15 The Fifties and the Future (Continued from last week)

A great addition to Garden City’s recreational and cultural life came in 1952, when the Village achieved a library of its own. After years of unsuccessful efforts on the part of individuals, committees and organizations, a group of resourceful and practical women took a preparatory course in library procedures and then set up a small experimental library in an unused cottage on Seventh Street, which the Village had loaned them for that purpose. Operated and supported by volunteer effort for three years, it proved so indispensable that, by a referendum vote in 1955, it became a tax-supported public library under Village control. Armed with a budget, a provisional charter from the State, and a full-time trained librarian, the little library soon became even more popular and crowded as additional books, students and eager borrowers filled the small rooms. A larger building was obviously a necessity, and the following year the Village purchased the centrally located Garden City Company office and its site in the park as the Library’s permanent home. Funds were provided for its renova-

tion and for the addition of a large wing, which was later appropriately named the Hubbell Wing in honor of Mr. and Mrs. George L. Hubbell. The park surrounding the building was also deeded to the Village at this time through the generosity of the Garden City Company, and has subsequently been called Memorial Park in honor of Garden City’s enlisted men and women of World War II. Due to citizen interest, the Village also became involved in two successful international projects in the early 1950’s. One occurred when Garden City joined with Coburg, Germany, and Aix-en-Provence, France, in an international good-will program called “Operation Town-Affiliation,” for the exchange of ideas, correspondence, visitors, and possibly students. The second project involved cooperation with an organization called “The Experiment in International Living,” which concerned itself chiefly with the actual exchange of students. Two Garden City students, in fact, made summer trips to Europe that first year under the joint auspices of these organizations–a beginning which later developed into a growing and continuing exchange on a wider scale, enabling small groups of foreign students to live and study with American students in the Village, and groups of Garden City students to experience home and village life in Europe. Both programs are still in operation. The second, now called the Garden City International Student Exchange, has involved hundreds of Village families over the years. Originally made possible by private subscription, it is now largely supported by the Community Fund, with

help from the Rotary Club, and has proven to be one of the most stimulating and rewarding projects undertaken by the Village. The Community Fund itself was also organized during the 50’s. Run by a committee representing the four sections of the Village, it has proved to be still another example of successful citizen cooperation, involving in this case over a thousand volunteers for each drive. Due to its efficient management, the Fund effectively and almost painlessly collects the required funds for its carefully selected causes. Garden City is now almost one hundred years old, and has the stamp of a complete, mature, and well-adjusted community. It has fulfilled the plans of its founder, Alexander T. Stewart, who in 1869 wrote to the people of the Hempstead Township that he would develop the land for actual settlers and would erect attractive buildings and residences “so that a barren waste may speedily be covered by a population desirable in every respect as neighbors, taxpayers and citizens.” The ‘settlement’ is now a beautiful village, almost completely built up; and its population, although larger than he might have imagined, is as desirable as he could have wished it to be. Garden City has also, in its well-loved Cathedral and successful Church schools, fulfilled Mrs. Stewart’s plans for a living memorial to her husband. In other ways the Village of today reflects the more worldly and practical planning of the heirs, who controlled and developed it for twenty-six years with the indispensable help of Mr. Hubbell. Best of all, the Village bears witness to the

continued vigilance and planning of its citizens who, unselfishly and without remuneration, have governed it as an incorporated community since 1919. Predicting the future of any village, county or township, especially in an atomic or space age, is not only impossible but foolhardy. Perhaps the only safe prediction is that change is inevitable. Even today, Garden City is facing the possibility of losing part of its Hotel park which, since Mr. Stewart’s day, has taken the place of a Village green. Apartments may eventually flank the dignified old building, and the Hotel itself may some day have to bow to the competition of surrounding motels and restaurants. There are some indications too that changes and compromises connected with County roads, transportation facilities, parking areas, and traffic flow and control will have to be made. Heavy business competition from shopping centers and discount houses outside the Village is already posing a problem. And an inflated economy is already straining School and Village budgets. There will be other pressures from without and within over the coming years. Even so, barring a complete holocaust, high standards will survive and patterns of control will continue in Garden City. It has met previous change with more than average wisdom, farsightedness and resourcefulness, it is fortunate in possessing a good heritage; its habits are strong; and it has a vigorous and responsible form of government. Perhaps Garden City’s greatest strength lies in the fact that it was, and continues to be, a planned community.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Email: Editor@GCNews.com From page 2 second is your right and duty to vote. In our Town of Hempstead, residents of its second of six districts, within Garden City, Stewart Manor, New Hyde Park, Floral Park, Elmont, Franklin Square, Bellerose and the our other sister mainline communities, citizens fulfill these civic duties both proudly and regularly. Therefore it was wrong to be represented by someone who did not pay all his taxes, the Hempstead GOP’s disgraced Ed Ambrosino, who is now awaiting federal sentencing. His leaving office was not just because of “personal reasons” as his appointed successor Thomas Muscarella has said, who himself was selected by the remaining Hempstead GOP board members. That recalls Leona Helmsley’s famous “only the little people pay taxes” attitude which is an absolute disgrace. As for our duty to vote, too many have given too much to preserve, protect and defend our right to vote in elections both big and small. Ironically the elections which impact us the most are the ones that most directly impact our daily lives, the local elections at the school, village and town level, and where your vote counts the most. As a Town of Hempstead Supervisor once said “The electoral process is at the core of our democratic way of government in the United States of America. From Presidential elections all the way down to local government contests, the will of the people is central to our way of life.” Surely Kate Murray, who said that in 2011, the same year the search for Osama Bin Laden ended, can agree that is even truer this year, as she appears yet again on our ballot, teaming with Thomas Muscarella. Therefore while Thomas Muscarella, now a Garden City resident, the appointed Elmont born legacy son of the Hempstead GOP, is free to excuse his predecessor’s apparent failure to pay all his taxes by saying that the “person who vacated this seat had to do so for personal reasons” Muscarella’s own apparent failure to vote THIS YEAR in his own local Garden City’s school budget, school board of trustees or village board of trustees elections while he has been the Hempstead GOP’s selected candidate and even acting as our Town of Hempstead board member is simply inexcusable. We the people deserve and expect our representative on the all-important Town of Hempstead board to fulfill his most basic of civic responsibilities, just like other voters do. We all are rightly disgusted for being represented by someone who did not pay all his taxes but stayed in office. We the people now should be equally appalled that our current councilman, selected at the direction of the Hempstead GOP, for us

and not by us, even after he became the Hempstead GOP candidate in January, did NOT vote in the very next local election he had the opportunity to do so, his village’s elections in March, which is unbelievable but true. Even worse, after asking for and gathering thousands of other registered Republican voters’ signatures on his nomination petitions for public office and then even actually being bestowed the title “honorable councilman” handed to him along with its $71,000 per year paycheck, Thomas Muscarella of Garden City again failed at his next opportunity to vote in the May local school budget and board of trustees elections in the highly regarded Garden City School District. We the people should not vote for anyone who does not pay all their taxes, such as Ed Ambrosino, or vote for someone who does not vote for others when he is asking others to vote for him, such as Thomas Muscarella of Garden City. Such “do as I say, not as I do” arrogance is offensive to every other resident who pays their taxes and vote in elections “all the way down to local government contests” both big and small. So when Thomas Muscarella of Garden City asks for YOUR vote in November ask if HE voted in his own village elections or in his own local school board budget or school board elections ever since Osama Bin Laden was killed. According to his hometown Garden City officials, his answer should be a shocking NO, as the last time he even showed up for a school election apparently was back in 2010. Even worse, the Incorporated Village of Garden City has no records of him voting, including this year. Even though the four Property Owners Associations in Garden City jointly urge residents to vote in the village elections to show support for their volunteering “Community Agreement” neighbors for the board of trustees, Thomas Muscarella has simply not been one of those volunteers or even voted in those village elections. So be sure to use YOUR vote to let Muscarella know the “will of the people” by proudly exercising your right to vote against him, or at least leave the box next to his name blank, so he will be sure to go back to his well-deserved non-taxpayer dollars compensated resident status. Maybe then Muscarella can volunteer as a school board trustee or even a board member on his village’s board of trustees, but he does not yet deserve your vote at least until he starts showing up for those elections too. If one does not do the “little things” like vote in your local elections, how can you trust someone to do the “big things” like having the privilege and responsibility to vote on matters that will impact our daily lives of over 100,000 constituents? One shudders at the thought. The Town of Hempstead voters on

all sides of the spectrum need to show Thomas Muscarella that we the “little people” he was appointed by the Hempstead GOP to represent clearly and dearly value our right to vote even if he does not apparently care much about it himself. In that way, just as Leona Helmsley and Ed Ambrosino learned the lesson that the little people who actually pay their taxes can also send you off to prison, so too can our current councilman and his family that “likes being elected” learn the lesson that we the people who actually vote in local elections can vote you out of office too. D.J. McEnery Editor’s note: The letter writer provided the Garden City News with documentation to back up his claims regarding Mr. Muscarella’s voting record.

New Laws Not the Answer

To the Editor: In your recent “A Word From the Publisher” section (08-09-2019), it was commented that “It’s time for our elected officials to do something. Given the constraints of the Second Amendment, there is no one single law that will completely eliminate mass shootings. But that’s no reason not to pass laws that might at least make them less likely and less lethal.” However, kindly consider these two thoughts: Factoring in together state, county and city laws, there are said to be some 5,000 gun ownership, transfer and “licensing” laws presently in effect in the United States. The PEW Research Center, citing data obtained by the Giffords Law Center to Reduce Gun Violence, reports that since the Sandy Hook shootings in 2012, states have enacted almost 600 new gun laws. Though, how many of those laws are directly relevant to effective attempts to lessen random mass and street shootings, nobody seems to have determined. In respect of passing more laws and imposing firearms purchase bans of any kind, the prime question and obstacles which remain is how in the first instance to actually disarm and keep the guns away from criminals? Already, there are said to be at least 300 million firearms in the U.S. - with most being legally owned by some 90 to 110 million Americans. If a ban is imposed, what will actually be banned? And how? People own them already. Also, it’s reported that an average of 7 to 8 people a day are shot or murdered in Chicago. That means, 7 per day x 30 days = about 210 shooting victims per month. Those numbers greatly dwarf the public shootings in El Paso, TX and Dayton, OH. Last weekend, 46 people were reported to be wounded and seven killed in Chicago, reportedly with hand-

guns - not with AK47 or assault rifles. I have seen no demanding protests in the streets and really not much of any genuinely sustained outraged attention with respect to the daily carnage in Chicago (and Baltimore) to be bellowing forth from the politicians. The appearance is that the government has been (and remains) powerless to prevent the wholesale trafficking in illicit drugs, or even the illegal sales of prescription pharmaceuticals, or to prevent the underground tax evasion commerce of cigarettes and related tobacco products, the sex trafficking of human beings, the importation of fake and counterfeit goods, the printing and dissemination of counterfeit money, and there even exists a black market for stolen military firearms. The government is unable to even effectively stem the flow of abducted sexually abused children (thin Epstein and friends), so how would it prevent guns from being readily available in black market commerce? An imposed ban on civilian lawfully purchased firearms would likely open the flood gates to an underground black market enterprise. And I think any genuine gun ban would increase by a full order of magnitude the rise of violent attacks on law enforcement by inner-city street gangs and others to obtain their firearms. Unfortunately, there appear to be no visibly good choices with either way to go. However, last week, when two men randomly shot people in Texas and Ohio, some 90 (or 110) million of our fellow Americans shot no one, will never randomly shoot anyone or ever shoot anyone. When I was growing up - both in NY and western Pennsylvania - large numbers of family households possessed guns lawfully. Many were hand-medowns from older generations (rifles & shotguns) and many were brought home by U.S. servicemen at the end of WWII (souvenir pistols & rifles). There were no weekly mass shootings; no drive by shootings; no one being shot on the streets by stray bullets flying through the air; no violent home invasions and street scum robbing people with guns. My parents and siblings never shot anyone (excluding, perhaps, my father’s WWII military service in the Pacific). And neither did any of our neighbors, and any of our relatives and friends anywhere. Back then, there were no security guards and no equivalents of weapons detectors and cameras in schools, in government buildings and the courts, in churches, at airports or in movie and Broadway theaters. Putting aside the threat of foreign terrorist cells operating within the U.S., why has life in the U.S. so drastically changed? Domestically, why has the value of life here been so drastically reduced? To See page 38

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Email: Editor@GCNews.com From page 35 me, that is the most important question that needs to be asked and acted upon. It could help if those on the opposing sides of the issue discard the hyperbolic and heated rhetoric and start to listen to each other in earnest. Though, there be not much hope for that. Perhaps no one has perceptively described human nature better or said it better than Simon & Garfunkel, (“The Boxer” c. 1970) - “All lies and jest; a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.” John T. Harris

Not a realistic plan

To the Editor: Governor Cuomo said of the Islanders Belmont Arena. “Now with the addition of the first full-time LIRR train sta-

tion in almost 50 years, we will provide millions of visitors and fans a fast and affordable way to get there and continue New York’s nation-leading investments in 21st century transportation infrastructure.” Clearly he is not a LI resident and never rides the LIRR. Anyone in the transit industry knows that customers being asked to pay a premium fare always prefer a one seat ride. This is what is provided for most who attend events at Madison Square Garden or the Brooklyn Barclays Center. Why would any Islanders fan coming from Nassau or Suffolk County want to first drive to a local LIRR station, park their car, board the LIRR (and in some cases have to switch at Huntington. Mineola, Babylon or Ronkonkoma from a diesel to electric train) then board a shuttle bus from the new Elmont LIRR station west bound north platform which will

not open until 2023. Who knows if the east bound south platform will be completed in time to coincide with the Islanders Arena October 2021 promised opening date. Babylon, Speonk, West Hempstead, Long Beach and Far Rockaway branch riders will always have to change at Jamaica (walk up the stairs, take an escalator or elevator from platform levels serving tracks one, two or three to the mezzanine level. Next walk across the mezzanine and down the stairs, escalator or elevator to tracks 7 or 8. Then they will have to wait for the next east bound train to reach the new Elmont Station followed by boarding a shuttle bus to reach the Arena. Port Jefferson, Huntington, Oyster Bay and Ronkonkoma branch riders will have to do the same until the Elmont Station west bound platform and overpass are

completed. Port Washington branch riders have the added pleasure of an additional transfer at Woodside. As a result, I predict 95% or more of those attending Islanders games, rock concerts or other events will elect to drive or take a car service.

One new teacher entering the district this year is a Wilson Level I certified teacher, and GCUFSD was eager to add her qualification to staff. Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction Edward Cannone said there’s a cohort of other teachers in Garden City currently pursuing Wilson Level I certification as professional development, “during this upcoming school year with a trainer from Wilson and their organization…. that encompasses the entire slate of trainings that come with it and a very rigorous course.”

In addition, Dr. Cannone said teachers of lower grades taking the Teachers College K-5 programs are gaining knowledge “on the way the (students’) Reading Level books correlate to specific skills that readers need to develop at that stage in their reading classes. We are looking at how that will affect what that means as we want to be zeroed-in on the specific skills our students need to learn.” He says this is just one component of professional development for staff that took place over the summer, and the district has organized “choice items” to offer for reading management professional development programs during this school year.

Global Scavenger Hunt, Leg 3: The Enchantment of Inle Lake, Myanmar BY KAREN RUBIN TRAVEL FEATURES SYNDICATE GOINGPLACESFARANDNEAR.COM My perfect day in Inle Lake, Myanmar, on Leg 3 of the Global Scavenger Hunt, a 23-day aroundthe-world mystery tour, begins the night before, on the JJ Express bus that leaves the temple city of Bagan at 10 pm and arrives at the bus stop (literally in the middle of the street in a small village) at 4:30 am. It is complete darkness, not a sound or stirring besides ourselves as the bus pulls away, leaving us there. For a moment, we feel stranded. Then, out of the shadows, two tiny jitneys – like small tut-tut openback vehicles - appear. The drivers ask which hotels we are bound for so we divide up based on which side of Inle Lake we are staying. We settle the fare (we are in a very limited position to negotiate) and climb in. The jitney drops us at the Sanctum Inle Resort at 5:30 am, where the kindly hotel clerk calls in housekeeping early so we could get into our rooms by 6 am (when 2 pm would have been normal checkin time). This five-star resort makes me feel like I have been dropped into paradise. I am on my own at this point, though at least one other of the 10 teams, SLO Folks, on the Global

Continued from page D1 engage with local people) so they arrive in Inle with no hotel, not even a decent map to start planning how they will attack the scavenges (challenges) and accrue the most points in the limited amount of time. Indeed, this challenge, Leg 3 of our trip, is to depart Yangon (the city formerly known as Rangoon when the former British colony was known as Burma) and complete a triangle of cities (Bagan, Mandalay, Inle Lake), allowing only two legs by air and return to Yangon by 6 pm on Saturday, making our own arrangements for transpor-

tation and hotel (we are reimbursed $200/night/team). I had planned to go from Bagan to Mandalay with my teammate, but after hearing about Inle Lake from another team (Lawyers Without Borders, a Houston team that has done the Global Scavenger Hunt 12 times) who had been here before, I was enchanted to see it; then, overhearing SLO Folks planning to take the overnight bus, I was determined to see it for myself. The description enchanted me: Located in the middle of Myanmar, in the Shan State, Inle Lake is set in a valley between two mountain ranges,

with whole villages of wooden houses built on stilts in the middle of the lake, floating gardens, boatmen who steer standing up, wrapping one leg around a tall oar. There are 10 different Shan ethnic groups living around the lake and the surrounding hills, home to many different minorities who come down to sell their goods in the villages – like the Long Lake Ladies. Inle Lake was designated a wetland wildlife sanctuary in 1985. Inle Lake feels like a different world to the rest of Myanmar, indeed, it seems like an enchanted Sangri-la. The Sanctum Hotel (Maing Thauk Village, Inle Lake, Nyaungshwe, Myanmar) is on the list of suggested accommodations provided by the GSH “ringmaster” and Chief Experience Officer, Bill Chalmers, and because I am not competing, have booked on hotels. com ($101 for the night). I am delighted to find it is an absolutely gorgeous fivestar luxury resort (the infinity pool on the grounds with views to the lake is breathtaking), and just being here fills me with a contented peace. But that is only the beginning. The kindness of the hotel manager is immensely appreciated. For me, it means I am able to take advantage of the hotel’s 8 am boat tour (that means a traditional wooden boat with the modern convenience of a power motor as well as the boatman’s long oar) because most of Inle Lake’s special attractions are literally on the lake – whole villages, in fact, are built on stilts on the lake; there are floating gardens which are really aquatic farms; floating markets;

the fishermen fish in a distinctive fashion with nets and the boatmen paddle standing up, with their leg wrapped around the tall oar. The temples and other major attractions – silversmiths, weavers, boatmakers – are all reached by the boat. The full-day tour will take me to the Five Day Market, Phaung Daw Oo Pagoda, Inn Paw Khone Village, Ywa Ma Village, Nam Pan Village (where we visit workshops to see crafts – silversmithing, weaving, boatmaking), Floating Gardens, Nge’ Phe’ Chaung Monastery and Indein Pagoda – essentially enabling me to see all Inle Lake’s highlights in a one-day visit ($35), though there is so much to see, Inle Lake is worth a two or three day stay. The Sanctum Inle Resort is situated on the bank of Inle lake - a shallow lake that’s over 13.5 miles long and 7 miles wide - and to begin the tour I have booked (because I’m not competing, I can book a hotel tour, while the competing team cannot, so they go off to find where the boatmen keep their boats), I am escorted down to the hotel’s dock where the boat and the boatman is waiting. It turns out I am the only one, so this is essentially a private tour. The boatman, a young fellow named Wei Mo, speaks only limited English – enough to tell me where I am going – but it is sufficient, I just don’t expect to get any commentary. It is an amazing experience – gliding across the lake, the fresh air and cool breeze rushing over me, especially after the debilitating 108-degree heat of Bagan. Inle Lake is notable for the

Boatmen harvesting from Inle Lake © Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com

Intha, lake dwellers who have a distinctive way rowing their wooden boats by wrapping their leg around a tall oar. At first, the mechanics make no sense. But I realize it is a way of standing and using such a tall oar and keeping the weight balanced on the tiny boats. During the course of the boat tour, I encounter a young fellow fishing (though you have to get out pretty much at sunrise to see the fishermen), boat people harvesting from the lake, go through an entire village built on stilts, where there are also numerous craftsmen and workshops we visit. One stop provides an opportunity to visit with the Long-Neck Ladies (actually only one), who come down from their secluded village to pose for photos with tourists for money. We also visit important pagodas and temples on the lake. It is remarkable to see how the Inthar make the most out of the lake - even creating farmland where none existed. They build floating gardens out of lake-bottom weeds and water hyacinth and grow crops like squash and tomatoes, anchoring them with bamboo poles. I learn that these floating islands can be cut, dragged by boats and even sold like a plot of land. Floating gardens can be found mostly in Kaylar, Inchan and Zayatgyi villages. I love visiting the various workshops in the various villages – it seems each has a specialty. We visit a silversmith workshop where I watch the intricate process before being led into (what else) an elaborate shop, filled with stunning creations. Wei pulls up to Inn Paw Khone

Village, famous for its weaving workshops, but most notably, weaving silk from lotus. Silk weaving in Inn Paw Khon began 100 years ago. At first, they wove from cotton fiber and then changed to silk and finally lotus fiber. and I am told that the technique of making silk from lotus was begun by a woman now more than a century old. I get to watch how a woman delicately pulls a strand from the lotus plant which is wound on a spindle into thread. At the boatmakers, I learn how each one is designed differently for their purpose – a family boat, a fishing boat (7.8 meters), a boat designed for the Long Neck people. “A boat lasts 25 years. Only men make the boats, they need to be strong. It takes 20 days to make a boat; they make lacquer from a tree to paint, wood powder and cotton. It takes two people to cut the teakwood,” she tells me. There are absolutely stunning wood carvings to purchase. But I must travel light. We stop in several of the region’s most important pagodas. Shwe Indein Pagoda is the most impressive of the attractions visited. You walk up a covered walkway lined with beautifully painted columns, up a hill, flanked by an astonishing 1,600 Buddhist stupas, some of stone, some intricately carved, some gilded. Many have been restored but you also see many crumbling with age and being reclaimed by the jungle. (There is a camera fee, 500 kyat, which works out to about 30 cents).

Like others found across the region, the stupas feature fantastical creatures like chinthe - mythic lion-like beings that protect sacred spaces. These were (and remain) sites for contemplation and meditation and many contain relics inside their bases. The first stupas at Indein were likely commissioned during the reign of King Narapatisithu, although according to legend, it was King Ashoka - the Indian emperor responsible for spreading Buddhism across much of Asia - who

first designated this as a site of particular spiritual importance. Hundreds of years later, that distinction is completely obvious.

BY LOU THEODORE We are approaching back-to-school time and many youngsters attending college in their freshman/sophomore years will be asked to select a major to study. This month’s article provides my pitch on why some should consider engineering as a career. In a very broad sense, engineering is a term applied to the profession in which a knowledge of the mathematical and natural sciences, gained by study, experience, and practice, is applied to the efficient use of the materials and forces of nature. The term engineer denotes an individual who has received professional training in both pure and applied science, but was often used in the past to describe the operator of an engine, as in the term locomotive engineer. In modern times, these occupations became known as crafts or trades. There are five major branches of engineering, listed below in alphabetical order. 1. Chemical Engineering 2. Civil Engineering

On engineering as a career 3. Electrical Engineering 4. Environmental Engineering 5. Mechanical Engineering One could also add to this engineering list the following fields: aeronautical, astronautical, geological, industrial, marine, military, managerial, mining, naval, petroleum, structural, and the recent addition of nanotechnology. However, since I am a chemical engineer working in both the chemical and environmental fields, chemical and environmental engineering are primarily addressed in the sections to follow.

Problem Solving

The engineer (and to a lesser degree the scientist) is known for his problem-solving ability. It is probably this ability more than any other that has enabled many engineers to rise to positions of leadership and top management within their companies. In problem-solving, considerable importance is attached to a proper analysis of the problem, to a logical recording of the problem solution, and to the overall professional appearance of the finished

product of the calculations. The value of an engineer is usually determined by his/her ability to apply basic principles, facts, and methods in order to accomplish some useful purpose. In this modem age of industrial competition, the ultimate definition of a useful purpose is usually based on a tangible profit of monetary value. It is not sufficient, therefore, to have a knowledge and understanding of physics, chemistry, mathematics, mechanics, stoichiometry, thermodynamics, the unit operations, chemical technology, and other related engineering and scientific subjects; he/she must also have the ability to apply this knowledge to practical situations, and, in making these applications, recognize the importance of the dollar sign. Certain methods of logic and techniques of calculation are fundamental to the solution of many problems, and there is a near infinite number of methods. Words such as creative, ingenuity, original, etc., appear in all these approaches. What do they all have in

common? They provide a systematic, logical approach to solving problems, and what follows is this author’s definition of a generic approach. The methodology of solving problems has been discussed by most mathematicians and logicians since the days of Aristotle. Heuristic (“serving to discover”) is the term often given to this study of the methods and rules of solving problems. Nearly always, a stepwise approach to the solution is desirable. The broad steps are: 1. Understanding the problem 2. Devising a plan 3. Carrying out the plan 4. Looking back

History of Engineering

In terms of history, the engineering profession as defined today is usually considered to have originated shortly after 1800. However, many of the “processes” associated with this discipline were developed in antiquity. For example, filtration operations were carried See page D5

You Don’t Have to Be Old to Get Social Security BY TOM MARGENAU

If you were to play a word association game and the phrase “Social Security” came up, I bet many of you would answer “old people” or “senior citizens.” It’s normal to associate Social Security with old folks because, well, the majority of Social Security beneficiaries are just that. But about 30% of people getting a monthly check from Social Security are nowhere near their golden years. For example, there are about 5 million children who get Social Security on a living or deceased parent’s account. And there are another 10 million people who get Social Security disability benefits. I’ve saved up some questions that deal with those aspects of Social Security for today’s column. Q: I am 62 and not working. I was planning to wait until age 70 to start my Social Security. But I have a 32-year-old son who has had severe physical and mental problems since birth. He is living with us. My wife is 58 and has never worked outside the home because she has been a full-time caregiver for our son. He has never worked and never will. Is there a way I can sign my son up for my Social Security now and still save my own until I’m 70? A: No, you can’t do that. Your son (and your wife) can get benefits on your record only if you are getting benefits yourself. Because of the extra money that would be payable to your son and wife, I think you need to strongly consider filing for benefits now. The rules say that a son or daughter who has been disabled since childhood is due a monthly dependent’s benefit on a parent’s retirement account. And the rules further say that benefits can also be paid to the other caregiving parent, assuming he or she is not working outside the home. Let’s look at what that would mean in your case. At age 62, you would be paid 75% of your full retirement rate. And your son would get an amount equal to 50% of your full retirement benefit. Your wife is also due the 50% rate. Those benefits would continue for the rest of your lives. And if you should happen to die first, your son would get an amount equal to 75% of your full retirement rate. Your wife would get anywhere between 75% and 100%, depending on how old she is when you die. Q: Our son’s wife recently died. They had three children who are all under age 18. We just learned they are possibly due Social Security checks. Are they? And how do we go about getting them? A: If your daughter-in-law was working, and worked long enough to be “insured” for Social Security, then the children would get monthly survivor

benefits on her record. How much work she would have needed in order for her children to be eligible for benefits on her account depends on her age when she died. If she was older, she might need 10 years of work. But it could be as few as 18 months of work if she was very young when she died. Each child is technically due an amount equal to 75% of her full rate. But there is a maximum that can be paid on any Social Security account involving children. The maximum rate depends on several factors. But let’s say it is 175% in your daughter-in-law’s case. That would mean that each child would get a rate equal to a little less than 60% of their mother’s Social Security benefit. I am assuming your son is working. If he is, then he wouldn’t be due any benefits as a caregiving parent similar to those paid to the mother as explained in the answer to the first question. In fact, even if he wasn’t working, then the family maximum rules would prevent him from being paid anything extra. To say that another way, if your son was put on the beneficiary rolls, the family would still get the 175% maximum payment. It would just be split four ways instead of three. As far as how to file for benefits, that’s easy. Your son should call Social Security at 800-772-1213 or go online to www.socialsecurity.gov. Q: I am 52 years old. Recently, I had to quit my job because of various physical problems. How do I sign up for Social Security disability? And can I do so if I am getting unemployment benefits? A: You would be eligible for Social Security disability benefits if you have worked and paid Social Security taxes for five out of the last 10 years and if you have an impairment that is expected to keep you from working for at least 12 months. You can apply for disability benefits online at www.socialsecurity. gov or by calling the Social Security Administration at 800-772-1213. To the best of my knowledge, there are no laws that prevent you from getting unemployment benefits and Social Security disability benefits at the same time. But consider this. To get unemployment benefits, you are essentially telling the unemployment agency that you are ready willing and able to work. To get Social Security disability benefits, you would be telling SSA that you are so disabled that you can’t do any kind of work. I hope you see the conflict there! Q: I am 60 years old and have multiple physical and mental problems. I haven’t worked in several years. I have applied for Social Security disability three times and been turned down each time. What can I do? A: If you were turned down just once

for Social Security disability benefits, I would say that there is a chance that SSA made a mistake and you should file an appeal. If you were turned down a second time, I’d recommend that it might be time to hire a lawyer who specializes in Social Security disability cases. But if you’ve been turned down three times, then I’d suggest that maybe you simply accept the fact that you do

not meet the legal definition of disability for Social Security purposes. Perhaps there is some light work you can do for a couple more years until you turn 62, at which point you can file for Social Security retirement benefits.

C ontinued from page D3 out 5000 years ago by the Egyptians. Operations such as crystallization, precipitation, and distillation soon followed. Others evolved from a mixture of craft, mysticism, incorrect theories, and empirical guesses during this period. In a very real sense, the chemical industry dates back to prehistoric times when people first attempted to control and modify their environment, and it developed as did any other trade or craft. With little knowledge of science and no means of chemical analysis, the earliest “engineers” had to rely on previous art and superstition. As one would imagine, progress was slow. This changed with time. Industry in the world today is a sprawling complex of raw-material sources, manufacturing plants, and distribution facilities which supply society with thousands of products, most of which were unknown over a century ago. In the latter half of the nineteenth century, an increased demand arose for individuals trained in the fundamentals of these processes. This demand was ultimately met by engineers. The technical advances of the 19th century greatly broadened the field of engineering and introduced a large number of the aforementioned engineering specialties. The rapidly changing demands of the socioeconomic environment in the 20th and 21st centuries have widened the scope even further. One need only review the various branches of engineering listed earlier.

Chemical Engineering

Chemical engineering is one of the basic tenets of engineering, and contains many practical concepts that are utilized in countless real-world industrial applications. A discussion centered on the field of chemical engineering is therefore warranted before proceeding to some specific details regarding this discipline. A reasonable question to ask is: What is chemical engineering? An outdated, but once official definition provided by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) is: Chemical engineering is that branch of engineering concerned with the development and application of manufacturing processes in which chemical or certain physical changes are involved. These processes may usually be resolved into a coordinated series of unit physical “operations.” The work of the chemical engineer is primarily concerned with the design, construction, and operation of equipment and plants in which these unit operations and processes are applied. Chemistry, physics, and mathematics are the underlying sciences of chemical engineering, and

On engineering as a career economics is its guide in practice. This definition was appropriate until a few decades ago when the profession branched out from the chemical industry. Today, that definition has changed. Although it is still based on chemical fundamentals and physical principles, these have been de-emphasized in order to allow for the expansion of the profession to other areas. These areas include environmental management, health and safety, computer applications, project management, probability and statistics, ethics, and economics and finance, plus several other “new” topics. This has led to many new definitions of chemical engineering, several of which are either too specific or too vague. A definition proposed by your author, is simply that “chemical engineers solve problems.” Today, this engineering discipline offers the student the largest number of professional options to pursue on graduation, including medicine, law, education, the environment, etc. This would be my first choice for anyone interested in pursuing a career in engineering.

Environmental Engineering

Traditionally, the scope of environmental engineering (originally termed sanitary engineering) was confined primarily to water supply, sewerage, and general environmental sanitation. Since the middle of the 20th century, however, the profession has expanded – due in part to the author - to include increased responsibilities in municipal and industrial waste treatment, air pollution, solid waste management, radiological health, safety, etc. It was originally viewed as a branch of civil engineering, but because of its importance, especially in dense urban-population areas, it acquired the importance of a specialized field. As noted, it now primarily deals with problems involving water supply, treatment, and distribution; disposal of community wastes and reclamation of useful components of such wastes; control of pollution of surface waterways, groundwaters, and soils; air pollution; control of atmospheric pollution; meteorology; housing and institutional management; rural and recreational-site management; insect and vermin control; industrial hygiene, including control of light, noise, vibration, and toxic materials in work areas; and, other fields concerned with the control of environmental factors affecting health. The field of accident and emergency management/ health and hazard risk assessment has as its object the prevention of accidents. In recent years, “safety” engineering has become a specialty adopted by individuals trained in other branches of engineering. With the expanding effort to provide

a healthier environment for the industrial worker, environmental engineering techniques are employed to rid the air of noxious dusts and gases in plants and other working areas. The problem of atmospheric pollution resulting from discharging waste into the atmosphere in large industrial settings became a major concern soon after 1970, a time when I entered the field.

More on Engineering

Other Engineering Disciplines Civil Engineering is the oldest and broadest of all engineering branches. It is in turn subdivided to include specialization in such fields as structural, sanitary, public health, hydraulic, transportation and other established engineering disciplines. They design bridges and tunnels, construct roads, install water-supply and sewage-disposal systems, erect dams, lay out railroads and other transportation systems and plan buildings of all types and sizes for public, private, and industrial uses. Electrical Engineering, another important branch of the profession, deals comprehensively with power generation and its transmission and distribution, electronics and its many applications, transportation, illumination, and all types of electrical machinery. The electrical engineer designs, directs and supervises the construction of electrical systems for the production and utilization of power for the multitudinous purposes of business, industry, and the community. Mechanical Engineering is one of the largest branches in the engineering field. This branch of the engineering profession is subdivided into heat, power, and machine design options with electives in aeronautical, metallurgical and industrial engineering. Devices for heating, air conditioning, refrigeration, engines and other mechanisms for the propulsion of vehicles and missiles on, under, or over land, sea, and air. tools, motors, and machines for all types of industrial production or research are just a few examples of the mechanical engineer’s contributions to the world.

Salaries and Rewards

Beginning salaries for inexperienced engineering graduates vary according to the type of agency seeking their services, geographical area in which the individual is employed, level of responsibility and nature of duties for particular positions, and the competition for engineering positions at any given time. Due to the shortage of engineers in recent years, graduates with no experience have commanded salaries ranging from an average low of $70,000 to an average high of $100,000 per year. Possessors of the Master’s degree begin at higher levels; those with a Doctorate in Engineering receive considerably

higher starting salaries. Aside from financial rewards, the successful engineer enjoys unlimited opportunity for creative achievement, the satisfaction of contributing significantly to the improvement of standards of living, and a distinctive position of trust and respect in the community. It should be noted that college engineering programs are very difficult. The student cannot expect to succeed without devoting himself entirely to his work in school and to related home assignments. Unless the student is willing to curtail or even forego a great many of the social activities generally associated with attendance at college or with young people of his age, academic problems will probably arise. Although the road to success in engineering is not an easy one, a career in the profession can be realized by a student willing to accept the obligations for required adequate preparation.

With Women

Finally, careers in engineering are projected to expand rapidly in the next decade. In this technologically advanced world, the discoveries and solutions being made affect the lives of everyone. Historically, women have been underrepresented in the industries that drive these advances in engineering technology. This mindset, however has been quickly changing. It is exciting to live at such a pivotal moment in history when women have such an incredible opportunity to change the face of industries, not only in engineering but across a variety of fields. Thankfully, our nation draws its intellectual power from 100% of the population, not 47.9%, as with many other nations. When I retired some years ago, 50% of my students were women. And, more often than not, they outperformed the men. Maybe they felt they had something to prove. Visit the author at: www. theodorenewsletter.com or Basketball Coaching 101 (Facebook)

Global Scavenger Hunt, Leg 3 C ontinued from page D5

in Myanmar, just crammed with boats and worshippers. The pagoda houses five small Buddha images which are much revered by the lake-dwellers. Once a year, in late September-early October, there is a pagoda festival when four of the five Buddha images are taken on an elaborately decorated barge towed by several boats of leg-rowers, rowing in unison, and other accompanying boats, making an impressive procession on the water. Ngaphechaung Monastery is a beautiful wooden monastery built on stilts over the lake at the end of the 1850s, the biggest and oldest monastery on the lake. The monastery is known for a collection of old Myanmar’s Buddha images from different eras. It is also notable because the monks have taught a few of the many cats living with them to jump

through hoops (that is the reputation, but I don’t get to see any cats). I skip stopping for lunch so am able to condense the tour somewhat, which brings me back to the hotel at 2:30 pm. I indulge in Sanctum’s utterly stunning pool - I would rank one of the best resort pools in the world – an infinity pool of black and silver that shimmers as you swim, magnificently set with a view down to the lake, richly landscaped, a great size for actually swimming as well as playing around. It is also one of the most magnificent places just to lounge. I meet families from around the world. I am back in my room by 5 pm, to walk about a mile up the road from the resort into the nearby village of Maing Thauk. I am bound for the Friendship Bridge where one of the scavenges is to watch the sunset. I love to see the Burmese alphabet, with its circles and curley-cues, on signs (few have English translation, except for the Noble Aim PreSchool, my Rosetta Stone, and a traffic sign with a drawing of a parent holding a child’s hand, indicating a school crossing). I come upon a school holding a sports competition that has drawn a tremendous audience. Even though hardly anyone speaks English, we manage to chat (icebreaker: What is going on? Where is the bridge?). It’s a good thing I ask the fellow if I was going the right way to get to the Friendship Bridge I am looking for, because he directs me to turn left on the next corner (I would have gone straight). The Bridge connects many structures and from which people can get onto the scores of wooden boats that gather here, especially to offer sunset “cruises”, as well as walk to several restaurants. The views and the evening activity are just magnificent. It’s like watching the entire community walk by.

What I’ve noticed during this incredibly brief visit is exactly what GSH’s organizer Bill Chalmers had hoped when he dealt with a question of whether we should be in a place that has earned worldwide condemnation for human rights abuses. Travel is about seeing for yourself, but also gaining an understanding of one another, disabusing stereotypes or caricatures, and most significantly, not seeing others as “other”, which works both ways. In very real ways (and especially now), travelers are ambassadors, no less than diplomats. Boycotting destinations because of their governments, isolating people from one another, cutting off the exchange of ideas and people-to-people engagements is not how change happens – that only hardens points of view, and makes people susceptible to fear-mongering and all the bad things that have happened throughout human history as a result. “See for yourself,” Chalmers tells us. What I see in the people I’ve encountered is a kindness, a warmth of spirit, a sweetness among the people here. I see it in how parents hold their children, how the boatman, Wei Moi, shows such etiquette among the other boatmen, how helpful people are. And how readily they smile. This leg has been a Par 5 in difficulty (Par 6 being the most difficult during this, the 15th Global Scavenger Hunt) – which has entailed us going out of Yangon to Bagan, Mandalay and/or Inle Lake (many more rules on top of that, including no more than 2 flights), taking overnight bus or hiring a taxi or train, and so forth. But Chalmers devious design has worked – in just these four days, we really do immerse ourselves in Myanmar, though our itinerary most properly should be done in 11 days (there are several operators

who offer such trips). Inle Lake is worth at least a two or three day stay to be completely immersed in its spell. There is a tremendous amount to do and experience. You can reach Inle Lake by air, bus (Joyous Journey Express, known as JJ Express, provided excellent service; travel on the first-class bus geared to tourists, www.jjexpress.net), or hire a driver to Inle Lake from various other major destinations in Myanmar (Bagan, Mandalay, Yangon). The closest airport to Inle Lake is Heho airport (HEH) which is 45 minutes away from the lake. The final challenge of this leg is to get back to our hotel, the Sule Shangrila, in Yangon by 6 pm, and for those competing to hand in their scorecards and proof of completing the scavenges. That’s when we will learn where in the world we will go next, and where we will all compare experiences. See more travel information, http:// myanmartravelinformation.com/whereto-visit-inle/.

Where are millennials and other groups moving to in the US?

s a side note, I do a lot of reading and researching for my columns to make sure my information is to the point and accurate and to the best of my ability, as educational as possible for our readers. This is extremely important to me considering all the inaccurate and phony information that is spewed and blasted out and dumped onto the internet and in newspapers. I imagine many believe what they hear and read at face value is accurate and truthful and may not question the validity of the information. I had mentioned a few columns ago, that if you want to fact check things that you read, see or hear, especially by our politicians, go to snopes.com and voila, the truth can be had! Nothing is perfect in the real world, but transparency and accuracy for the most part can be ascertained with some careful and “Sherlock Holmes” type investigation. Now let’s get into this week’s column. The millennial group has been leaving our area in droves for a number of years, as I have previously explained, due to the high cost of purchasing, taxes, not having the necessary “large” down payment required as well as a lower than normal inventory of affordable homes, condos, coops and homeowner associations. Do you know where they are moving? Obviously, some of you know where your kids are relocating to and the fact that you may only see them or your grandchildren once a year or much less frequently compared to when they were here on Long Island. I have heard from many older homeowners who truly wish they could be around their children and grandchildren like before, which have been making them, ponder and consider moving closer to them in the near future. For those that could afford to stay, that represents a small percentage of the

BY PHILIP A. RAICES total, considering that many more families and individuals are leaving New York State than are coming to live here. The top five cities that seem to be attracting people, not only from New York State but other states are: 1.) Salt Lake City, Utah and its surrounding communities is the top place for many, which offers high employment rates (less than 3% unemployment) and magnificent surroundings. It’s a superb place to live as well as invest, especially for those in their twenties and thirties. The median home price for the second quarter of 2019 was $255,000-$663,125. But just two years ago in June of 2017 they ranged from $190,000 in Salt Lake City to $470,000 in South Jordan and Holladay (up 21+%). So those that had moved out there gained more appreciation while being able to get into the housing market at a reasonable cost. However, there are four more States/ cities which have gained a lot of traction of the last five to ten years. 2.) Seattle, Washington is the go to place for millennial group, which make up a sizable percentage of the population. Although prices have cooled a bit since 2018, prices have increased eight percent for homes less than $380,000, obviously due to the greater demand in that price point. The most expensive homes of $760,000 and higher still increased two percent. The middle tier saw a 4.5% increase and prices ranged from $355,000-655,000 in Pierce, Snohomish and King Counties. 3.) Austin, Texas is the third most popular destination and has an above normal job growth and is the second top city in the country for the number of job that have become available. Dell, Apple and Google are some of

the major players attracting new talent and is now called “Silicon Hills. Lastly, environmental sustainability is another factor by which millennials, who make “green practices” as a dominant and important variable in their mindset in relocating to Austin.” The median home price was $407,400 in May, up 5.8% year over year, according to the latest monthly report from the Austin Board of Realtors, which was published on June 20. 4.) Charlotte, North Carolina is the fourth most popular destination to relocate to and has seen one of the largest increases in populations from 2016-2017 (number 7 as per the U.S. Census Bureau), causing prices to increased 9.5% over the last year and the prediction is that they will continue to grow at 6.1% through 2020 (as per the Zillow research team) Supply is way below normal @ at 3.6 months in January 2019. (normal balanced supply is 5-6 months). And although inventory has increased slightly and sales have decreased slightly, prices are still up due to the demand for housing. Charlotte is a major banking and financial hub, second to New York City offering a slew of higher paying jobs, allowing many to purchase their first homes. Seven Fortune 500 companies are headquartered within the metro area, including Bank of America, Lowe’s and Honeywell. Microsoft’s East Coast headquarters are there too! 5.) The last great city people are gravitating to is Dallas, Texas. Extremely attractive job opportunities, job growth of 3.9+% as well as reasonable home prices. Real estate news site Point2 Homes reports that from December 2013 to December 2018, Dallas’ median home price increased from $229,900 to $285,000, a 24 percent

jump that equates to an additional cost of $55,100. However, compared to other surrounding towns studied, it had the lowest price appreciation, making it much easier for many to purchase a home. As you can see the typical price ranges (and real estate taxes too) in all the cities are considerably lower and much more affordable than our local Long Island towns, which makes many moving out of New York a “no brainer.” In order to compete with those other cities, and see improvements in our dwindling millennial populations, (and others), New York State and its politicians, really need to think outside the box, otherwise the writing is on the wall and the “brain drain” and future monies lost, will continue to be the detriment to all our communities.

A Deeper Look at Daylilies BY JEFF RUGG The botanical name for daylilies is Hemerocallis. It comes from two Greek words: Hemera is day, and kallos is beauty. The beauty of a daylily flower does last only one day. Thankfully, a mature plant may have over a hundred flowers. Daylilies come in a variety of sizes, colors and shapes. The smallest daylilies are under a foot tall, and the largest can be nearly 5 feet tall. A miniature daylily has flowers smaller than 3 inches across, but the plant may be any height. Large daylilies have flowers bigger than four-and-a-quarter inches across and can be carried on plants of any height. The original daylilies came in a few shades of yellowish orange. They now come in practically every shade of yellow, orange, red, purple and pink; they are getting close to pure white as well. Many have more than one color. When the center of the flower is a lighter color, it is called a watermark. If it is lighter outside, it is a halo; if only the outside edge of the flower is lighter, it is called a wire edge. A dark color in the center is called the eye zone. Daylilies are in the true lily family and have the same flower design: Three outer sepals surround three inner petals. They all open up to form the flower. Sometimes the flowers are trumpet-shaped, and sometimes they’re circular. When the petals and sepals are long and narrow, the flower shape is called a spider. If you have extra flowers, you can dip some unopened ones in your favorite batter recipe, fry them until golden brown and serve them at dinner. Hybridizing daylilies is an easy process, and so far, there are around 40,000 named varieties! A serious collector would have only a drop in the bucket if they had 1,000 varieties in their yard. When visiting a garden center to look for your garden plants, start with the following characteristics: First, look at the foliage. They are not blooming for longer than they are in bloom, so the leaves should look dark green and thick. The more fans of leaves it has, the more flower stalks it will produce. Second, the more buds there

are, the longer the blooming season. Some daylilies only bloom in the early summer, others in mid-season, and some during late winter or even almost all winter long in the Deep South. A few varieties are “ever-blooming,” such as Stella de Oro, and they do last almost the whole season. A few varieties rebloom once or twice during the season, but not with as many buds as the first time. It is best to judge daylily flowers in the heat of the afternoon sun. Some flowers begin to fade and melt away in the sun’s heat. Since the flower only lasts one day, it should have enough substance to make it through that day. Daylilies can have two sets of chromosomes in each cell nucleus, or they can have four sets. The tetraploids have four sets and are favored by many breeders who look at the extra genetic material as a source of new colors, shapes and sizes. Tets, as they are called, tend to have larger and thicker leaves and flowers. Tet flowers have enough substance to make it through the day, but so do many other daylilies. Daylilies can be planted in just about any soil type and at any sunlight level. The heaviest shade will not produce as many flowers. I have two

plants of the same variety; one is along a sunny, south-facing wall, and the other is in the shade of a silver maple. The sunny one blooms at least one month earlier than the shady one. They perform better if the soil has lots of loose organic matter and stays moist. They are pretty drought tolerant once established but bloom better if mulched and watered. They also often bloom better if they are divided after about four years in the ground. Early fall is the best time to do this, so think of it as a job to do right after the kids go back to school. They look nice when planted with ornamental grasses because the two plants have similar leaf and plant shapes. They also look nice when planted with other plants that have contrasting foliage shapes, like the broad-leafed hostas or the fine, dense foliage of Coreopsis verticillata. They send up leaves just as the daffodils finish flowering, so they hide the daffodil foliage as it dies, making them excellent companion plants. Daylilies are easy to grow for a beginner and fun to hybridize for an advanced gardener. They are low maintenance and have very few insect or disease problems. Every garden should have at least a few -- or is that a few hundred? -- varieties.

Schools to be tested for vapor intrusion From page 1 if there’s any concerns -- at that time there was no concern presented to us (in June). We do not expect any alarming results to come up -- the Superfund site was not within immediate proximity to Locust School but we would like to engage AKRF for further testing and evaluation to be really cautious with consideration of the health and safety of our students, faculty and staff. The concern brought up initially was just for Locust but we are asking the board to authorize testing for vapor intrusion around both Locust and Stewart School,” Sinha said. Board President Heineman explained that originally the Superfund site (plume) was actually closer to Stewart School than to Locust, and the hired environmental experts at AKRF are trusted to study vapor intrusion potential. The board again clarified that no new discoveries have prompted the current testing it authorized, as the plume has been monitored by the EPA since the 1970s.

“The Board and the administration doesn’t want there to be any questions and concerns; we take the health and safety of our students and staff at our school buildings very seriously. We don’t want there to be any ‘what-if’s’ so we have contingency money set aside that we budget for every year, and we are going to use that. Out of our overabundance of caution we will have the Vapor Intrusion testing done at both Stewart and Locust to satisfy our own selves that there is nothing to be concerned about, and we do not expect any alarming results,” Heineman said this week. Dr. Sinha added that the school district website will soon feature a tab to provide easy access to the results and the prior presentation by AKRF.

New Asst. Principal for GCHS Guidance After the hire of interim Director of Guidance Diane Johnson in the district one year ago, Mandi Stefankiewicz, a 17-year veteran of the school district as a school psychologist at the high school,

has been confirmed by a vote of the school board to be the lead in guidance and pupil personnel services as a new GCHS assistant principal. Dr. Sinha said the process to select a new director of guidance for GCUFSD was advertised extensively, and the district ultimately decided on “a new option of looking at having an assistant (GCHS) principal ...We see the guidance office function at the high school very, very differently. We do feel strongly that at the high school you do need somebody overseeing this division in particular with the college admissions process. In terms of Mandi she has a strong background in personal communications skills. She puts students first at all times and she has experience in the school psychologist role. We believe as assistant principal she will provide the GCHS community with a positive and student-centric approach,” Dr. Sinha said.

Biweekly Schedule The Board approved a resolution to

use BoardDocs Pro for Board Meeting software, a move to reduce the use of paper copies, for an annual cost of $11,000 for the 2019-2020 school year plus one non-recurring charge of $1,000. The agreement with BoardDocs is through Nassau BOCES. Dr. Sinha explains the change as “something we have talked about over my first year, and it is going to help us significantly to be more ‘paperless’ and many school districts use it.” At the conclusion of Tuesday night’s meeting, School Board President Heineman announced that starting in September the Board of Education will no longer hold its work session meetings and regular meetings on back to back weeks, often two Tuesday nights in a row. Instead there will be a 14-day gap to allow “the board to better pace ourselves, in terms of resolutions,” she said on August 13. The September school board work session is on September 10 and the regular meeting will be on September 24, both at 8:15 p.m. in the Garden City High School library.

West POA ‘keeps track’ of LIRR issues

From page 1

erty owners’ associations and residents is Andy Kraus of Epoch5 public relations, which has 3TC as a client. The Garden City News reached out to Kraus at the Epoch5 Huntington office with phone calls as well as MTA media contacts at offices in Manhattan, with no response from either this week. A receptionist for 3TC did speak with the News on Tuesday, August 13 and advised that they would advise media relations officials of the inquiry within the week. In the afternoon on August 14, Vernice said she was also anticipating a call back from either Kraus, LIRR Public Affairs or 3TC. “I have not heard back from Andy Kraus and that’s upsetting because we have to set the WPOA schedule going forward. We need to have an official from the LIRR or 3TC plan to visit the WPOA meeting in September, and we have provided them multiple dates to choose from. I delivered that message to them Friday (August 9) and by Wednesday afternoon, I had not yet heard anything back. He (Kraus) is the one we are waiting to hear from,” she explained in an interview with the News this week. The first step for the WPOA once any West resident brings up emergency issues and concerns about the LIRR is to contact Andy Kraus and Village of Garden City trustees, Deputy Mayor Robert Bolebruch and Trustee Stephen Makrinos. Vernice says over the past few weeks she’s had conversations about LIRR issues with Trustee

Makrinos who is on the Board’s LIRR Third Track Committee. As for any solution to the problem of idling trains, Vernice noted a promise made to her recently over the phone: “The Long Island Rail Road suggests that they will have a work train operating that makes less noise. When I spoke with an LIRR Community Affairs representative I was told that the new work trains will have an engine that will be less noisy,” she said. The WPOA hosted Hector Garcia, LIRR senior director of external affairs, back at its September 19, 2017 meeting at Homestead School. Garcia reappeared in the village as an LIRR liaison when he attended the East POA’s meeting on October 9, 2018. Vernice reached out to him this summer but Garcia was away on vacation, and she says “Hector was involved before in Garden City. When I called he was one of the people I’ve asked to speak with but he was on vacation. Now I really need to know from them (the LIRR) who the contact person is at this time, if they can refer us to someone else,” she told the News. By Thursday, August 15, with the Village Board of Trustees set for its monthly meeting that evening with the next Board meeting set for Thursday September 19, Vernice was convinced time is running out to schedule a time frame to inform residents and have another well-publicized and promising September WPOA meeting with LIRR officials, as happened in 2017 and other years. “My hope remains for September -- we have to have this IN September. I

will wait to see what Andy Kraus has to say, hopefully soon, but this week our WPOA directors will meet up to discuss our next steps. The residents of the village need to know what will go on, I need to know and this puts me and our POA in a very uncomfortable position since we are not receiving any answers to residents’ questions. We do not even have a date set for the LIRR to come speak to us,” Vernice said. Vernice anticipated a few West residents would attend the Village Board’s August 15 meeting, hoping for some note on progress by the trustees or administration. She added that contact remains consistent between WPOA directors and residents on Greenridge Avenue including Karen Reiter, who notified “Team Greenridge” and village officials with emails as the LIRR trains caused disruptions in late July. “Any important information is posted to our WPOA website as well as sent out via resident email blast. All important information that the Village of Garden City shares with the WPOA is passed on to residents of the West.” The trains idling on tracks north of Greenridge Avenue and on tracks in the Village’s East last fall and earlier this summer are one clear noise-generating issue that has “fallen on deaf ears” to date. But one change supported by a village advisory group sought to curb the use of horns at distance of no more than a quarter-mile in advance of grade crossings. That step was halted with the Third Track project, but could be reprised if the village takes it up again. A proposal supported in 2016 by

the Village’s Environmental Advisory Board, after a Greenridge resident brought it to the attention of current Deputy Mayor Bolebruch and then-Garden City Mayor Nicholas Episcopia. In 2016, Harry Chohan of Greenridge Avenue suggested Quiet Zone designation for the northern areas of the Village of Garden City, ranging from the New Hyde Park Road LIRR grade crossing to the Merillon Avenue LIRR station. The concept stems from a Federal Railroad Administration guideline, outlined in 2013 brochures available on FRA.DOT. GOV, and set forth for municipalities or counties to determine standards for their respective communities. Chohan previously shared with the News a letter he sent to former Director of Public Works Robert Mangan, who was EAB secretary three years ago, about noise issues along Greenridge” “The quality of life for residents on Greenridge Avenue as well as neighboring streets and communities along this line is greatly diminished due to current train and vehicle traffic and the noise they generate. We’re paying unbelievably high taxes for yards and properties we can’t fully enjoy because of the extremely loud train horns at all hours of the day and throughout the evening and night,” his letter stated.

Garden City Home Run Derby to benefit medical research The first ever Garden City Home Run Derby will be held on Saturday, August 24 at Grove Park starting at 10:00 a.m. Participants of all ages are welcome to come and try and hit as many home runs as possible in 20 swings. Participants will serve as designated hitters for boys or young men from all over the country who have been diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The designated hitters will line up sponsors/supporters who will pledge x amount of money per home run hit to Team Joseph, an organization which raises funds both to support research to find a cure for Duchenne and to assist families with loved ones diagnosed with Duchenne. Duchenne is a horrible disease that destroys the bodies of primarily young boys, depriving them of the ability to play sports before taking away their ability to walk and eventually killing them. Team Joseph is making great strides and a cure is right around the corner. You really can make a difference and help save these boys. Hopefully a cure will be found soon and they will not need designated hitters at next year’s Home Run Derby but instead will be Ages 3-5 6-7 8-9 10-11 12-14 15-16 17-20 21-39 40-59 Over 59
