Board examines GCPD overtime

BY RIKKI N. MASSAND

At the Village Board of Trustees’ meeting on Thursday, October 17, East resident Judy Courtney asked about current costs for police overtime accrued in Garden City for the start to this village fiscal year (June 1 through September 30).

The Board of Trustees had just approved and held swearing-in ceremonies for the promotions of one police lieutenant and one police sergeant after the moves were contested when the Board voted, 5-3, to approve them on

August 15.

Village Treasurer Irene Woo explained that year over year, so far in fiscal year 2019-2020 (June through September) the police department overtime was up to $294,000; one year ago through the same period of 2018-’19 the GCPD overtime total was $273,000. Woo said the current cost of almost $300,000 is flat to the 2019-’20 budget for the Village of Garden City.

“We were very concerned during budget planning and work sessions about police overtime costs. Now we are already

trending up by $21,000 through four months, do we know why?”

Courtney asked.

Police Commissioner Kenneth Jackson notes that the department saw higher overtime as a result of “four retirements within the last six months.” He added that in the span of the last four months, GCPD’s overtime came in lower than in mid 2018. Due to two GCPD employees being out with surgeries in August there was a spike. He said police administration and village HR is workSee page 30

The Village of Garden City has filed a federal law suit against multiple manufacturers of opioids, in an attempt to recover costs that the village has incurred due to the epidemic of addictions, many of which began with prescription opioid medications.

During an Executive Session just prior to its October 3rd meeting, the Garden City Board of Trustees voted to retain the firm of Tate Grossman Kelly and Iccarino of Hempstead to represent it in the suit, which was filed on October 22nd in the Northern District of Ohio.

According to attorney David Grossman, the Village of Garden City has had multiple financial impacts due to the crisis. For example, he noted, first responders have had to be trained in and equipped with Narcan, a substance that can reverse an overdose if administered promptly. The Village may have also had impacts to its cost of health insurance, counseling and treatment for employees and additional costs for law enforcement related to the epidemic.

The suit outlines how the manufacturers of opioids allegedly made deceptive claims about the medications and concealed material facts from the public. In addition to the manufacturers, the suit also names distributors of opioids such as the pharmacy chain CVS as co-defendents.

Over 2000 cases have been filed across the nation, and the federal courts have consolidated them in the Northern District of Ohio. To streamline the process, the court created a novel “Negotiation Class Action” which allows the thousands of plaintiffs to bargain with the defendant companies. According to a web site created by the court, municipalities who file suits against these defendants are automatically considered part of the negotiating class unless they opt out by November 22nd.

A map on the site estimates that if the ultimate settlement was a total of $1 billion, the total share for Nassau County would be $2.3 million, of which Garden City would receive about $15,000.

Grossman said that his firm is representing villages and small municipalities to file individual suits instead of receiving shares of the counties’ settlements. In addition to Garden City he also filed a suit from Island Park this week, and expects to file more suits in coming weeks.

A WORD FROM THE PUBLISHER

We are not exempt The Village of Garden City, like many other municipalities throughout the country, is seeking restitution from the large pharmaceutical companies, and others in the supply chain for pushing opioids and causing an epidemic of addiction.

When opioids were first created they were thought to be a great breakthrough that could really help cancer patients and others with severe pain.

Unfortunately, though, opioids soon became more easily available both through legitimate sources as well as on the black market.

For some who used opioids, they soon found that they could not stop, as their bodies became addicted. Some

who could not afford to continue to take them switched to heroin, which was cheaper.

Garden City may look like an idyllic suburb, but like any town anywhere, it has its share of social problems such as addiction. There is a social stigma to addiction that makes it something that people don’t talk about, but we’re not exempt. Addiction is here. For the families of those addicted we are so sorry for the special kind of hell you are going through.

We hope the Village, and all plaintiffs, wins its case, and the pharmaceutical companies are made to pay for their part in this epidemic.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Email: Editor@GCNews.com

The Beginning of the End To the Editor: I have comments about the Oct. 18th Edition of the GCNews: 1) It was chock full of news and info about the water challenges in GC. Very educational, although somewhat difficult to comprehend for the layman.

Every resident should read the several articles carefully, in hard copy or online.

2) I particularly was impressed by the detail in the “Kelly/Colleen” article, beginning on page 2. Their report was scary as to the severity of our water contamination. I hope it acts as a wake-up call to our Trustees and residents re the immediate need to deal with the problem, and the high costs to the public, total unknown, to deal with it. I refer also to the page one story of residents’ concerns, and the Mayor’s weekly update, page 10.

3) Finally, and crucially, everything in the several stories, quotes and information in the Oct. 18th edition of GCNews, seems to point toward a “beginning of the end” to the grandiose ideas and goals of our Trustees, and some residents, to redevelopment of St. Paul’s as a major recreational complex. As my previous Letters, and your editorial, “Needs vs. Wants,” simply state, we cannot afford to allow expenditures for St. Paul’s to interfere with the ultra-necessity of cleaning up our water

Editor’s note: A portion of the “Go Green with Kelly & Colleen column about drinking water was inadvertently omitted from last week’s issue. We apologize for the error. The following is the portion that was left out:

contaminants. Trustee Delany, from the Eastern Section, has stated that plans to develop St. Paul’s may need to be placed on hold, reduced in size, or cancelled. He also implied that GC residents would be informed of total costs for St. Paul’s and would need to approve plans before they could be implemented. Well said!

Let’s hope that the early signs of the end of the folly of St. Paul’s, in coming days, become more logical and acceptable in the minds of the citizens of our wonderful Village.

In many ways, stopping pollution is more effective than treating water

after contamination. Unfortunately, the 1,4-dioxane found in Long Island’s groundwater is the result of decadeslong industrial practices that continue to wreak havoc on our water supply.

Additionally, lax consumer regulations tolerate 1,4-dioxane in many personal care products, including shampoo, body wash, bubble bath, foaming hand soap, See page 49

BY RIKKI N. MASSAND Two candidates are vying for the Nassau County Legislator seat for District 14 race this election cycle, and each of them participated in an interview with The Garden City News in mid-October.

Laura Schaefer

The local Legislator in office since January 2014 is incumbent candidate Laura Schaefer, up for re-election for a third time on November 5.

On Tuesday, October 8 she visited the Eastern Property Owners’ Association and spoke about water safety issues across parts of Nassau County, discussing the reactions of water districts and LICAP (Long Island Commission for Aquifer Protection) for proposed New York State water quality regulations to be revised due to concerns over their timing (expected in January) and for funding applications.

“I want people to know about the AOP (advanced oxidation process) systems, the timing to install them in the wells, and their potential impacts upon their water bills. Bethpage has an AOP system in one of their wells and it took them several years to get it and put it in, and complete some testing on it which was about $25,000.”

“Each AOP system costs between $1-3 million dollars so if you have ten wells in your area, it will cost the water district approximately $30 million dollars if they need to address each well.

Also Bethpage’s experience with their electric bill has been that the AOP operation tripled their monthly costs from $6,000 to $18,000. Clearly, this will be very expensive and it is something we on Long Island have to do -- but we need more funding,” She advised that not enough AOP systems are currently made to address all the water wells in Nassau County that would be placing orders. The subject was breached during Village Board of Trustees’ meetings since September 19 because the village noted its cost of $1,212,600 for an Ultraviolet Advanced Oxidation Equipment from Canadian vendor Trojan Technologies in Ontario, comes with the caveat that this vendor offered the only system approved for use by the New York State Department of Health for the removal of 1,4 dioxane.

During the EPOA meeting, Schaefer was presented with a question on the opportunity for “buying in bulk” with a consortium of Nassau villages or districts. Schaefer continues to research various opportunities to provide more districts with AOP systems. In the last week of October she was scheduled to

be a speaker at a monthly meeting of the Nassau-Suffolk Water Commission.

She says much is going on when water districts discuss their next steps and face reality with coming New York State regulations to meet.

“Cooperative purchasing is something that I will encourage and it’s something the water districts have tossed around already. To get an update on that idea is something I am looking forward to getting from them. But I find it amazing that we have not seen anything happen from the state level yet because there is no vagueness about whether or not regulations can be met by municipalities by January 1, 2020 -remediation cannot be accomplished in this short timeframe,” she said.

Recalling the many questions and points raised on Nassau County Reassessment in her visit to the Western POA’s meeting back in late winter, Schaefer spoke about preparation of the phase-in period and the timeline for 2020 “I have the knowledge and experience regarding issues going on in the county and on an intimate level with issues regarding the reassessment within my district. I have been out in the district hosting town hall meetings. We always continue to do tax grievance workshops but recent meetings have

been on the reassessment specifically.

We have tried to get residents’ questions answered because people weren’t getting information directly from the administration. Affordability is a big part of people’s lives and is a quality of life issue across Long Island. We want to make sure any potential issues relevant to reassessment going forward are addressed so there are not a lot of mistakes and people can have certainty,” she said.

Legislator Schaefer says a projected ‘big help’ for the tax base are The Hub redevelopment and revenue-producing operations at Nassau Coliseum and NYCB Live, with Islanders’ games going on and numerous benefits the county has seen from Coliseum activity.

Memorial Sloan Kettering Nassau at 1101 Hempstead Turnpike in Uniondale offers another boost.

“In the Legislature we have all been proud to vote on and move forward with revenue-generating projects with job creation and development aspects.

Around the county we see a lot of redevelopment going on, and I think people are becoming more comfortable with the idea. Some areas have been afraid of too much change and I can understand that. But I have participated and See page 48

Guests light candles for deceased loved ones in the Cathedral crypt Perhaps many have forgotten that Halloween (shortened from All Hallows’ Eve) is a centuries-old holy festival with roots among Celtic Christians in Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Brittany.

The Celts believed that the Eve of All Saints’ Day was a time when the bridge connecting the world of the living to the world of the dead became firmer, allowing spirits to cross over.

The Cathedral of the Incarnation is inviting brave souls to walk the bridge between the living and the dead as they take guests on a journey to the Cathedral Crypt to honor the souls of Garden City’s founders, Alexander and Cornelia Stewart, who were buried there over a century ago. Now in its third year, “Journey to the Cathedral Crypt” will offer even more treats, tricks, and surprises on Halloween night, Thursday, October 31.

The tour will begin inside the cathedral sanctuary, where ominous organ music will welcome guests to a darkened cathedral. A few minutes of history will prepare you for a guided tour across the cathedral grounds to witness the story of Stewart’s death and the graverobbers who held his body for ransom. Once inside the candlelit crypt, you are invited to light a candle in remembrance of the dead.

The experience lasts approximately 30 minutes. Attendees are asked to register for a half hour time slot at www. tinyurl.com/AllHallows19. Slots are available between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. The tour is free and open to all ages. Guests are welcome to wear their Halloween costumes—Victorian era costumes are especially appropriate. Call (516) 746-2955 or email cathedral@incarnationgc.org with questions.

Library Board takes issue with ex-mayor’s comments

Daughney appeared frustrated that there was a cost laid out but no timeline for the project, and he said “we don’t let anybody sit on pools of money.”

At the Board’s most recent meeting on October 17, Trustee Daughney asked Superintendent DiFrancisco to update the Board on GCPL’s ground floor bathrooms. “That project is progressing very nicely and it is coming in on time and under budget. Barring any unforeseen setbacks, it’s scheduled to be completed in the last week of October,” DiFrancisco said.

Daughney said he was pleased village officials ‘got involved’ as the library building is a village-owned facility. He reiterated that its maintenance issues and upkeep falls under the Board of Trustees’ purview.

“I am glad you (DPW) and Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi took over the library bathroom project -- this project had been sitting under the library’s purview for over four years. The library is our building. My view is that anything physical like maintenance of plant is our (village officials’) responsibility and we should take it over. The library is basically a tenant in the building.

They can run the library, order books and do whatever librarians do. Other

a severely corroded drain line was discovered running along one wall -- it appeared to be leaking and needs to be replaced. I received a change order from the company who will replace the pipe for us, $9,750 in order for the company to replace this pipe and not delay this project any further,” DiFrancisco told the Village Board October 3. He said it was urgent to move forward during October as the project has taken over six months.

When Chairman Colahan and Library Director Marianne Malagon presented the 2019-2020 GCPL Budget before the Board of Trustees at their budget work session March 21, 2019, Trustee Daughney (who was still mayor until April) was already concerned with the slow process. He had asked the GCPL Board to find a way of “getting the bathroom done” and renovated with the funds already allocated, “while the village will figure out the rest.”

Seven months ago, Daughney stated to GCPL leadership he hoped for the bathroom project to be done by the end of September.

Back in March DiFrancisco told the Board specs for the GCPL bathroom were being put together. Village Trustee John Delany commented that funds for the bathroom project were already part of the capital budget for GCPL.

At last Thursday’s Village Board meeting, former mayor and current Village Trustee Brian C. Daughney said he’s visited the Garden City Public Library recently and to him, it appears “dumpy in there.” The Library’s Board of Trustees has its sights set on a longterm goal of creating a better interior layout with modernized spaces and less of traditional rows of stacks, but the Village of Garden City is overseeing functional and mechanical aspects to keep the physical facility operating well.

Trustee Daughney said that the Garden City Public Library should operate similarly to the Garden City Pool or the Tennis operations as an enterprise fund existing in a village-owned facility, and there should be separate village oversight arranged for its plant maintenance.

“Then we can track everything involving the building through whatever department we’d position it in,” he said.

Mayor Theresa Trouvé told Daughney the village administration and the Board of Trustees has many interactions for items involving the Library Board of Trustees, and the collaborative efforts do “work very well.”

In an email to The Garden City News early in the day on Monday, October 21, ahead of its monthly meeting, GCPL Board Chairman J. Randolph Colahan offered a response to remarks made

by Daughney at the October 17 village meeting. The message was noted that it was a collective response from the 5-member Library Board of Trustees.

“It has come to the Library Board’s attention that the library was referred to as “dumpy” by Village Trustee Brian Daughney at Thursday night’s Village Board meeting. The Library Board finds this statement extremely confusing and disappointing, especially as we have been working closely with Village Board and administration this year on several Capital Budget Projects including bathroom renovation on GCPL’s first floor,” Colahan’s email states.

On that project Superintendent of Public Works Joseph DiFrancisco provided a glimpse of the process for the Board of Trustees at their October 3 meeting. The Board suspended its meeting rules of order for two “add-on” items to be approved: one a resolution for work on the St. Paul’s comfort station; the other a $9,750 expense as a change order for pipe replacement that came up during bathroom renovation work.

The Garden City Community Church (GCCC) has always pioneered in the ministry of helping others even in the smallest way. We are excited to share an Intergenerational ministry once a month when members and friends of GCCC gather in Gardner Hall for Sandwich Sunday.

Bagged sandwiches are distributed at the Interfaith Nutrition Network (INN) on Monday morning.

This Sunday, October 27 from 11:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m., following the 10:30 Worship Service, we will make sandwiches and bag them with snacks, fruits, drinks and bottled water. The younger members make the bags personalized with little art works. In an effort to include everyone, if you cannot attend you are encouraged to donate smaller bottled water, large paper bags, snacks and even monetary donation towards the purchase of bread and cold cuts.

The goal is to make 150 bag lunches per Sunday (cheese, turkey/cheese—no nut products will be used), although the group has always exceeded its goal and made 267 bag lunches last month. Many

hands will help get it done! Children are welcome to decorate bags (little ones) and sort snacks/drinks/napkins (older ones), while adults make sandwiches, label and check bags.

Please sign up to help make the sandwiches too! Volunteers of all ages are welcome! Thank you for your service to the church and service ministry to the INN. The Garden City Community Church is part of the United Church of Christ and is an Open and Affirming congregation that welcomes people of all ages, races, gender identities, and sexual orientations to participate in the life of its community. Worship services are Sundays at 8:30 a.m. in our Chapel and at 10:30 a.m. in our Sanctuary. Wednesday Service is at 8:00 p.m. in Gardner Hall. There is a Church school for children and a crib room for infants and toddlers during the 10:30 a.m. service. The Garden City Community Church is located at 245 Stewart Avenue between Whitehall Blvd. and Kensington Road. For more information, email churchoffice@thegccc.org or call (516) 746-1700.

“The Pioneers of Radio Comedy” at the Community Club

If you are looking for someone to help an aging parent, Home Instead can help.

Companionship Transitional Care Medication Reminders Escort to Shopping and Errands Meal Preparation Light Housekeeping Respite Care

Dr. Ira Epstein On Wednesday, October 16, the Community Club continued its 100th year anniversary celebration with the return of the popular Dr. Ira Epstein and his delightful and informative presentation on “Pioneers of Radio Comedy.”

Between vaudeville and television, comedy found its home in radio. Radio was the first medium that allowed comedians into their homes. This lectured explored how radio created numerous ways that we received and perceived comedy using a variety of audio clips. Radio was unique in that it depended upon the individual imagination of the listener to visualize the scene without a description.

The Club learned how Jack Benny transformed radio comedy from “vaudeville with a microphone” and “baggy pants humor “with his suave, sophisticated style. Many radio comedians successfully transitioned to television. The “Amos & Andy” show had a particularly interesting history in that the radio performers were Caucasian, while the television performers were African American. Abbott & Costello and George Burns & Gracie Allen successfully made this transition to television. Lucille Ball performed on radio in the romantic comedy “My Favorite Husband” which became “I Love Lucy” on television.

It was fascinating to hear the old commercials and to see how the sound effects were

made in a process which seems so primitive today, but really worked back then. This was a fun-filled afternoon down memory lane.

Dr. Epstein served as professor and chairperson of the Communication Skills Department at LaGuardia Community College, C.U.N.Y and as an assistant professor in the School of Education at Brooklyn College, C.U.N.Y. He continues to lecture on comedy and music at senior centers, synagogues, retirement communities and libraries.

Refreshments were served after the program. Arrangements and publicity for the meeting were handled by Judith Mauro.

Patricia Chabert greeted the guests, while Nicolle Hall and Paula Rega served the hot beverages.

The Community Club, established in 1919, offers a wide variety of cultural, educational, creative and philanthropic programs and activities. To learn more about the Community Club and how you may become a member, please call the office at (516) 746-0488 between 9:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday.

DON CLAVIN Supervisor

HOMEOWNERS DESERVE A SUPERVISOR WHO WILL PUT TAXPAYERS FIRST !

DON CLAVIN HAS: Successfully worked with a bipartisan coalition of the Town Council and delivered a budget that slashed taxes by 4.2%.

Hosted hundreds of taxpayer forums to show homeowners how to lower their taxes, as well as programs to assist taxpayers in obtaining every property tax exemption for which they are eligible.

Has been the strongest advocate for homeowners, who are getting unjustly slammed by the County Executive’s error-riddled, unfair property tax reassessment. It’s a back-door tax hike.

Will make maintaining the character of our communities, and preserving our suburban way of life his priority as Supervisor.

Don and Nancy Clavin and their family reside in Garden City, where their two daughters and son attend Garden City Public Schools.

With a little savvy entertaining, you will be able to pull it off without striking out or blowing the holiday budget. This holiday program will teach you how to prepare Pancetta and Parmesan Tartlets with basil and cherry tomatoes, Gougeres (French Cheese Puffs), Kale and Caramelized Onion Turnovers with lemon and pine nuts, Dumplings (pot stickers) and Swedish Meatballs.

Attendees will be able to taste Chef Sheridan’s delicious party treats.

Coffee & Tea by the Book “The Giver of Stars” by Jojo Moyes Garden City Public Library Thursday, November 21 at 1 p.m.

Bestselling author Jojo Moyes has written an extraordinary story of five

women and their remarkable journey through the mountains of Kentucky and beyond, to deliver books to people who never had any, expanding their horizons and changing their lives. Based on a true story of the Horseback Librarians set in Depression-era America, “The Giver of Stars” is unparalleled in its scope. At times funny, at other times heartbreaking, this is a richly rewarding novel of women’s friendship, of true love, and of what happens when we reach beyond our grasp for the great beyond.

GC Board of Trustees examines GCPD overtime From page 1 ing to put better controls in place for overtime accruals. Part of that effort involved meetings Jackson attended the week of October 10 with the Civil Services agency and Nassau County Police to speed up processes of hiring more GCPD staff.

“Supervisors’ reports are submitted for employee hours and I review them, and I do reviews of departmental allocations and costs with Trustee Mark Hyer (the Board’s appointed police commissioner) at least once if not twice each month. Also we had been short in police dispatch with two employees hurt so we saw than higher than we’d anticipated. And moving forward one of the issues we had experienced for hiring is that Civil Service would not provide a list to us promptly. But we have now made three offers to NYPD-experienced officers -- which is good because we can have them work on the streets after about a three-week orientation period.

Two officers have been hired as of today and they’re completing this orientation phase; another officer should be hired in about one month,” Commissioner Jackson said last Thursday. He added that another police recruit is completing the police academy and will take service in Garden City after training concludes.

Contested vote on promotions Back at its August 15 meeting the Board saw contested votes on these planned promotions within the Garden City Police Department, taking effect now due to the retirement of the veteran Inspector Michael Doyle on September 28. In August, the moves were explained on the Board’s meeting agenda that these two promotions would not have an impact to the adopted and approved 2019-2020 “final Police Budget.”

On March 28 of this year the Board of Trustees approved a consulting con-

tract not to exceed $20,000 for a supplemental police operations study with the Center for Public Safety Management (CPSM), based in Washington, D.C. At the August meeting, Village Trustee Brian Daughney made it clear that with a “no” vote on the two rank promotions, he was not advocating for a cut in the number of officers in the GCPD. Daughney provided a lengthy explanation of his reasoning and stated that the logic of the trustees who supported the promotions and filling-in of the ranks as noted were primarily looking for continuance with “the way things have been done for the past 45 years, so therefore it must be correct.”

“With respect to village taxes, the police department budget accounts for approximately 18 percent of our budget -- approximately $12 million dollars.

And ever increasing. And that does not include costs associated with free healthcare for life and pension costs and payouts upon retirement. As an aside – to the residents – don’t complain about taxes unless you are willing to address the level and costs of providing services. Residents need to stop making non police demands on officers. And this topic of promotions and command structure and department organization – needs to be part of that conversation.”

“These promotions will not result in more officers on the street, in our neighborhoods or have any substantive relevance to overtime or budgeting.

Services and the way we provide them stay the same while costs escalate and taxes rise. Is that the Garden City way – is that the heritage we are trying to preserve?” he commented at the August 15 meeting (published in full in The Garden City News on Friday August 23, 2019).

Last Thursday, Daughney asked Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi when the hired consultants would be paying a visit to conduct the police operations study. Suozzi and Commissioner Jackson are expecting that visit if not

by Election Day November 5, then still before Thanksgiving.

Courtney asked if the NYPDexperienced officers who are recruited to jobs with the GCPD would be compensated at higher rates than those who are fresh from college, early career and police academies. She said that the response Jackson gave about more GCPD officers being hired was part of the overall explanations from prior budget meetings, “that the number of officers has always been stated that having more officers would help the village in many ways, one of the ways being to drive down the police overtime cost.”

Courtney said from overtime data that was presented, she and other residents have not seen that effect.

Trustee Daughney told Jackson his explanations of the additional GCPD hiring lacked substance because new hires “would not affect police overtime expenses -- it’s almost a separate issue.”

“Every analysis we have gotten says that regardless of the number of police officers the village has, we are still going to have the overtime costs. Whether the GCPD has 53, 49 or 46 officers I do not think it is correct to respond that having more officers on the force would drive down overtime -- they’re not,” Daughney said.

Thinking it over, Trustee John Delany commented that “if we are short on officers we’d have that much more overtime, a less amount of officers unfortunately would generate more overtime. With 49 officers we’d have more overtime cost than if we had 52 or 53 officers.”

Trustee Hyer commented that Jackson’s report indicated a positive because who Garden City selects as its next officers -- like NYPD officers -- would reduce the impact of “7 months of training” for a new police recruit.

Trustee Colleen Foley and Trustee Hyer exchanged a few comments about GCPD numbers, but the Board soon clarified that any suggestions that the overtime

costs would not be improved (reduced) due to new police hires is not intended to indicate there’s a lack of compliments and support for the GCPD or for Commissioner Jackson.

“One of the reasons why I think Garden City’s police force is considered to be one of the best that is around, nationally, the bottom line is I think that sometimes the things our officers do is not something that every other police department does or can do. I understand our $63 million budget for the Village of Garden City, and not that I do not care about the accruals of overtime -- it is not irrelevant as I think any department can always work more efficiently -- but I read the reports and I see all the things these officers deal with on a daily basis, putting their lives on the line for us. I think one of the big reasons people move into the community is because of the levels of service and protection that our Garden City Police provide. To me that matters more than whether or not we are down on GCPD overtime,” Deputy Mayor Robert Bolebruch said.

Mayor Theresa Trouvé made sure that audience and Board members understood that it’s healthy for village governance to look at overtime costs for every municipal department, while keeping in mind that the issues raised also involve honoring union contracts.

“It’s very complicated plus the involvement of union contracts contributes to that. I think the question raised is making sure our village is circumspect with regards to looking into overtime costs. Yes, we are going to continue trying to do that and I think we are doing it better,” she said.

Trustee Hyer added that when he and Commissioner Jackson routinely review overtime costs, “if there is any place we can reduce overtime then it gets reduced -- we look at this with a fine-tooth comb.”

BY BOB MORGAN, JR. As the contest for the Democratic nomination for president continues, a number of voices are asking whether there is a better alternative to the current front runners.

Right now, the three leading candidates for the nomination, at least based on the Real Clear Politics polling averages, are Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. You don’t need to be a committed GOP partisan to believe that there are serious issues surrounding each one of these candidates, all of whom are above 70 years old.

Mr. Biden has not performed particularly well in debates, will have to deal with the role of his son’s business activities during his tenure as vice president and, perhaps most importantly, has been a poor fundraiser.. Mr. Biden, who recently urged his supporters to “pick up the pace” of donations, at last report had only $9 million in cash on hand, in comparison with $25.7 million for Ms. Warren and $33.7 million for Mr. Sanders. Mr. Biden is even behind Pete Buttigieg and Kamala Harris in cash on hand. This lack of ability to raise money, at least so far, could signal a lack of confidence in his campaign by donors and would certainly be a problem if it continued to the general election. By comparison, President Trump currently as about $83 million cash on hand.

Ms. Warren will be easy to portray as too left wing for the country. For example, her signature Medicare for All proposal is likely to be viewed as costly and disruptive, at a time when most people are happy with their current health insurance coverage and some Obamacare premiums are actually declining. Her proposed wealth tax would be a radical step.

In addition, her proposal to spend $3 trillion over a decade on climate change issues and to ban fracking immediately will strike many voters as extreme.

Mr. Sanders, the oldest of the candidates at 78, will have to answer questions about his health and fitness for the presidency, given his recent heart attack. Even with his

swift recovery, voters know that the presidency is a demanding office; Mr. Sanders would be 83 at the end of a first term. In addition there is a question whether the country is ready for an avowed socialist who espouses left wing policies similar to those of Ms. Warren.

In an article in The New York Times this week entitled “Anxious Democratic Establishment Asks ‘Is There Anybody Else’”, the writer, Jonathan Martin, recounts a discussion among Democratic donors as to whether there might be a late entrant into race, for example, Hillary Clinton, Michael Bloomberg or even Michelle Obama. The article points out misgivings about the campaigns of the frontrunners, particularly Mr. Biden’s.

However, Mr. Martin points out that fretting about the candidates and longing for a white knight is pretty standard in presidential cycles. Mr. Martin concludes in the article that the chances of an additional major contender are remote, especially as primary filing deadlines approach. The piece also states that Democrats close to Ms. Clinton or Mr. Bloomberg “believe the only scenario under which they’d consider running is if Mr. Biden drops out or is badly weakened.”

Obviously, I have no inside knowledge, but I believe that there is a good likelihood that the three current frontrunners will be joined by an additional serious contenders. It could simply be the elevation in the standings of one or more of the second tier candidates, for example, Amy Klobuchar, who performed pretty well in the last debate.

But I would also not be surprised if there is at least one new major entrant. Mr. Bloomberg in particular could be formidable with an almost unlimited budget, centrist credentials as mayor of New York City, and strong name recognition.

Of course, he may not appeal to most progressive Democrats. But I have a feeling that many Democrats still want a shakeup in this race, and would look very carefully at Mr. Bloomberg.

This is the Garden City Garage built on the NW corner of Seventh Street and Franklin Avenue in 1907 by the Garden City Company. This photo taken around 1940 looks west down the north side of Seventh Street. At this point in time the Garage was owned by two brothers, George and Gerard Hughes, who I believe are standing next to the ladder on the far right in the photo. The Garage was torn down in the late 1960’s and replaced by a Texaco station. Today, there is a new three story building on the site.

Community Church celebrates 90 years

Groudbreaking for the current Garden City Community Church

BY MARY CLARKE

The Reverend Lynn Sullivan welcomes new members

First group of members in front of 66 Wellington Road circa 1930–31

On Sunday, October 20, 2019, The Garden City Community Church welcomed 10 new members to its Church family and celebrated its 90th anniversary of worship. A celebration luncheon followed in Gardner Hall after the 10:30 a.m.

Service. Church members Pam and Joe Rivera entertained the 80 members and guests with music and song. At the conclusion of the luncheon, Senior Minister Lynn Sullivan led Church members in an amusing trivia game, testing the memories of all those in attendance.

The 90th celebration marked the beginning of the Church’s annual Stewardship Campaign. In addition to the annual campaign, the Church launched a separate funding effort designed to improve and enhance the Church’s physical plant.

Improvements and enhancements will be made aligning and adapting the structure to the changing needs of its membership and the community.

For 90 years, The Garden City Community Church has been a stable and welcoming force within Garden City and its neighboring communities. Offering its first Sunday morning worship service in a private home on Nassau Boulevard in 1929, the Community Church was dedicated as ‘a house of prayer for all people without regard to race, creed

or any particular mode of worship.’

First chartered as Christ Church in Garden City, The Community Church assumed its current name in 1931. From its very founding, The Community Church has had a proactive ministry and a fully engaged congregation committed to enriching the lives of its members and others through service and fellowship. Evolving and adapting as it grew, The Community Church has, for decades, been at the forefront, aligning its Church programs based on societal change.

A women’s fundraising group was first organized in the fall of 1930, sponsoring speakers, study groups, socials and Church bazaars. Our annual current day Americana Fair is a direct descendant of the former Church bazaar. Since the early 1940s, our Church has provided a home for the Boy Scouts. In the early 1950s, The Community Church began hosting Alcoholics Anonymous, a relationship which continues to this day. Every weekday, there is a different Al-Anon group meeting at the Church. Today Mission Trips, The Community Theatre, Sandwich Sundays for the Interfaith Nutrition Network (INN), Adventure Bible School and raising funds to provide a veteran with a service dog continue our strong tradition of Christian service not to mention Vacation Bible School, Confirmation and Will

43 church school for children and a crib room for infants and toddlers during the 10:30 a.m. service. The Garden City Community Church is located at Stewart Avenue between Whitehall Boulevard and Kensington Road. For more information: email churchoffice@ thegccc.org or call 516-746-1700.

IN MEMORIAM

James Patrick O’Neill

James Patrick O’Neill

James Patrick O’Neill, a long time resident of Garden City, passed away peacefully at home on October 8, 2019.

He and his wife, Eileen C. O’Neill, moved to Garden City in 1966, where they raised their seven children. Eileen, his wife of 32 years, died in 1990.

Jim was the son of Irish immigrants. He was raised in East Flatbush, Brooklyn, and suffered many hardships and trauma as a child but still managed

to maintain a sunny disposition, which earned him the nickname “Sunny”. He worked numerous jobs in order to put himself through Fordham University and Fordham Law. Jim, as a member of Fordham’s Moot Court team, earned the University’s first win in the competition. A plaque commemorating his achievement still hangs at Fordham today. He practiced law for 50 plus years and was a partner in many prestigious law firms in New York City, including Townley and Updike. In addition, Jim was an arbiter for the NASD and argued a case before the United States Supreme Court. Yet, no matter how demanding his career was, he always put family and faith above all.

Jim was a wonderful storyteller and conversationalist with a great sense of humor who loved to sing. He was a gentleman in every sense of the word, who treated everyone he encountered with respect. He was a loving husband, father, step-father and grandfather whom he imparted innumerable valuable life lessons. If the measure of a man is his decency, his morality, his outlook on life, his wisdom, his kindness, his intellect, his selflessness, his loyalty, his generosity and his dignity, then we lost a true giant when we lost Jim. He is survived by his seven children, one step-son, seventeen grandchildren and his wife Kay, to whom he was married for 20 years. He will be greatly missed by all.

For more than 10 years, Adelphi University has participated in the National Prescription Drug Take Back Day, which falls this year on October 26.

The day was introduced to encourage people to safely dispose of unused or expired medications rather than leaving them in medicine cabinets or tossing into the trash. According to the 2018 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 9.9 million Americans misused controlled prescription drugs, particularly opioids, which were for the most

part obtained from family and friends, often from the home medicine cabinet.

This year, Adelphi is doing even more to combat the prescription drug crisis. On Friday, October 25, at 9:00 a.m. in the Office of Public Safety and Transportation, a permanent and secure prescription drug lockbox that will offer a safe place on campus to dispose of unused prescription drugs yearround will be unveiled.

The lockbox is a joint effort between Adelphi’s Alcohol and Other Drugs

Program, the Office of Public Safety and Transportation, the Student Counseling Center and the Division of Student Affairs.

The new lockbox will be located in the main lobby of Adelphi’s Office of Public Safety and Transportation in Levermore 113.

What will happen to the drugs after they are deposited into the lockbox?

The Garden City Police Department has agreed to pick up the contents on a regular basis and deliver them to the

incinerating plant for destruction.

Incinerating unused drugs keeps them out of the trash, where they can be found and consumed by children, pets or those searching for opioids.

“Not only does this keep drugs out of the wrong hands, it is also environmentally conscious,” said Zotto, since drugs that end up in landfills or are flushed down the toilet can contaminate the waters.

Garden City residents are welcome to use the lockbox.

Library Board takes issue with ex-mayor’s comments From page 12

than that the village controls that building and we take care of it,” he said.

Trustee Daughney insisted the joint planning/operations setup does not work so well at all. The mayor then heard Trustee Colleen Foley’s take on library operations as Foley serves as the designated Board of Trustees’ liaison to GCPL this year.

“We need to talk with the Library Board to have them explain what parts of GCPL infrastructure they would like us (the Village) to assist them with, as DPW and the village administrator have worked with them on upgrades for the phone system and alarm systems.

Those items for example are beyond just bricks and mortar, they go towards the infrastructure of running the library operation. By us providing resources to the library director and the Library Board of Trustees that allows them to

develop programs at the library -- we need to fine-tune with the Library Board what has already been started and what they’d continue to do,” Foley said.

The GCPL Board of Trustees also took notice of Trustee Daughney’s comments why the first-floor bathroom reconstruction project was delayed and the village’s role in the process in recent weeks.

“A comment was also made alluding to the delays in the bathroom project. Trustee Daughney and the Village Board of Trustees must be well aware that the first floor bathroom project was deferred in previous years at the recommendation of the Village Administration, not the Library Board or Library Administration. Additionally the Village Board must be well aware that the Library conducted a space study to improve and modernize the functionality of the Library public spaces. The study is currently being updated

by Library Director Marianne Malagon, who will make a proposal to the Library Board to be reviewed and approved.

We expect to begin implementing the changes in the next fiscal year starting with the Children’s Department,” Colahan’s statement explains.

The GCPL Board says if Trustee Daughney feels the Library is “dumpy” he should be ready to work with the Library Board and library administration to improve the library. They point to the efforts of hiring consultants and proactively seeking funding outside of the village budget allocations.

“The Library Board has been working hard over the past several years to obtain outside funds to implement the improvements highlighted in the space study. Instead of upgrading the Library in a piecemeal fashion, the Village of Garden City could commit to funding these upgrades right away. All funds for this project, totaling over $145,000

so far, have been paid in legislative aid to the library from New York State and not from the Village. The Library anticipates having to approach the Village for additional funds to complete the project and will confirm this amount once the proposal is finalized,” the GCPL Board responded this Monday.

In another email to The Garden City News following the October 21 Library Board meeting, Colahan clarified the plan to implement design and layout changes inside the library, and how and when costs can be allocated for that.

“We are looking to get an updated proposal for the library space study and interior design ASAP. It most likely be included in next year’s (2020-’21) as well as the following year’s (2021-’22) budgets. The Library Board of Trustees and GCPL Administration will look to work with village on any related purchases of equipment.”

THE MAYOR’S UPDATE - NEWS AND INFORMATION Mayor@gardencityny.net From page 10 tems have been purchased for various locations in the Village. The “Bigbelly” containers will be placed at Community Park, adjacent to the playing fields.

While the exact locations are still to be determined, there are plans to put one near Fields 1 and 2, one near Field 3, one near the multipurpose turf field and one near Field 4 and the roller hockey rink.

“These locations give us good coverage for most of the facilities, and of course, we will supplement the ‘Bigbelly’ units with traditional trash receptacles throughout the park,” Paul Blake, chairman of the Board of Commissioners of Cultural and Recreational Affairs, said.

Civic Beautification Committee

Mayor Theresa Trouvé appointed three residents to the newly resurrected Civic Beautification Committee during the October 17 Board meeting. Patricia

Siler, chairperson, Althea Robinson and Kathy Auro were all appointed to terms that will expire April 6, 2020. Mayor Trouvé said the Committee is currently looking for another member to represent the West.

National Prescription Take Back Day

The Garden City Police Department will be participating in the Drug Enforcement Agency’s (DEA) National Prescription Drug Take Back Day on Saturday, October 26th, between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. A collection center will be maintained by the Garden City Police Department at 349 Stewart Avenue. This event provides an opportunity for residents to safely discard unwanted, unused and expired medications.

As per the DEA, “This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly suscep-

tible to diversion, misuse and abuse.

Rates of prescription drug abuse in the United States are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s National Survey on Drug Use and Health shows year after year that the majority of misused and abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including someone else’s medication being stolen from the home medicine cabinet. In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines—flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash—both pose potential safety and health hazards.”

Leaf Collection Schedule

The Street Department will be picking up random areas in the East section this Friday, October 25, and early next

week. The entire Street Department will begin the leaf season pickup Thursday, October 31 as follows: West, North, South, Mott and East. As always, Parks and Recreation crews will be picking up the Central section.

National American Indian Heritage Month

November is National American Indian Heritage Month. Native American Awareness Week was first celebrated in 1976 and recognition was expanded by Congress and approved

by President George Bush in August 1990. According to the declaration establishing the week, and the Daughters of the American Revolution, American Indians have contributed to the freedom, prosperity and greatness of America today.

learned benefits associated with new developments -- more commercial with a mix of residential. Redevelopments increase the local tax base, whether it is residential or commercial. The Nassau County IDA is very aggressive to work with and solicit current major businesses to come here, and they make it attractive for them to stay here. That’s what they should be doing,” Legislator Schaefer said.

Many residents have reacted well to seeing properties revitalized and newer industries arriving in her central Nassau district. With many projects coming before County Legislature and various other entities, Schaefer is proud to learn about new business operations “so I can see what the benefits are for the community it’s going to be situated in and how it will impact the tax base and economy in general. All hopefully in a very positive way ...That’s most important to me,” she explains.

Looking at the Village of Garden City’s business districts all along Franklin Avenue and down to the 7th Street “T-zone,” Legislator Schaefer commends the proactive Garden City Chamber of Commerce and other business organizations within her district.

“There is so much going on within the county including the Westbury downtown revitalization and redevelopment taking shape in Hicksville, which make Nassau more attractive. Since Garden City’s Friday Night Promenades started in 2014 I have seen a difference in who attends As I’ve had the opportunity to speak to people there I’ve seen that people are attending from all over Long Island. Another piece of the continuous building-up of Nassau County, driving revenue and bringing in people to our communities is social media -- our chambers of commerce are on Facebook, Instagram, and there are so many more ways to advertise what communities have to offer,” Schaefer explains.

In the same five-year span she has served as Nassau County Legislator Laura Schaefer has worked at the 7th Street-based law firm Walsh, Markus, McDougal & DeBellis LLP. Schaefer attended Adelphi University in Garden City, earning a bachelor’s degree in communications, and she later attended Hofstra University School of Law for her JD. Schaefer specializes in land use law, real estate and litigation. Village resident Kevin Walsh is principal partner of the firm. He’s represented several local property owners, including for the 555 Stewart Avenue zoning change application presented to village trustees in late 2017/early 2018.

Legislator Schaefer enjoys the professional settings of Garden City’s downtown and the relationships she has cultivated in the last five years.

The economic vitality and appeal of Garden City has been evident when she’s stepped out on 7th Street during

lunchtime, noticing “how people who come down and shop or dine here are from all over the county, and that they come here because they know this to be a great destination spot on 7th and along Franklin,” Schaefer said. She recently participated in an event at Smok-Haus at 7 12th Street across from Sears.

If her 2019 bid for re-election is successful, Schaefer tells the News the completion of a safety-centric redesign and pedestrian crosswalk for Rockaway Avenue’s meeting point with Merillon Avenue, in front of Garden City High School is one of her goals (more details reported in The Garden City News December 28, 2018 edition). The project was reintroduced to the community when Superintendent of Schools Dr. Kusum Sinha said, at the board of education’s meeting November 20, 2018, that she would have a planning meeting with Legislator Laura Schaefer and engineers from the Nassau County Department of Public Works on December 10, 2018.

“I would like to see something happen there by September next year as it would lessen anxiety - the traffic is just too fast along that road. The school, children, and residents deserve a redesign of Rockaway Avenue down to Old Country Road so that it becomes safer and people aren’t able to speed due to the redesign,” Schaefer told the News last week. Eleven months ago, Sinha commented that the earliest this project could start is late 2020 or early 2021.

Michael Maloney

Mike Maloney is a 42-year resident of Garden City, moving here at age seven with his family and going through the school district. He attended Homestead School, Stratford School, GCMS up to graduation with Garden City High School’s Class of 1987. In the mid 1990s he was the editor of the Garden City Life community paper, making local inroads with the Anton Media Group.

After three years at Hofstra University a journalism internship turned into a career at Anton Media. From there, Maloney went on to work for the Office World News and in a corporate public relations career since the late 1990s.

“In my college junior year, in 1990 Carl Anton offered me a job to be editor of the Farmingdale Observer so I took the opportunity. A year later I added the Massapequa Observer role. In about 1994/95 I worked as editor of Garden City Life. After my footing in local journalism, I worked for two large public relations firms in New York City, and then in 2001 I joined IBM and worked there for 10 years. But I have always maintained my status as a news-junkie, following both national and local politics,” Maloney said.

Observation and keeping a reporter’s notebook were a firsthand education in government. His early career in Nassau County journalism allowed

Maloney a chance to get acquainted with the inner workings and processes of forms of government -- from villages to Town and Nassau County levels.

Maloney also learned how school districts and budgeting trickles down to neighborhoods and local tax bills.

“In high school I knew I wanted to be a journalist, and I got to learn about both political parties from the ground level. Initially I registered as an unaffiliated voter to work impartially with both sides and I have stayed unaffiliated ever since -- I am not into political maneuvering and serving the party as opposed to serving the people. I have learned that there is power in helping people -- and locally, I have seen impacts from good and bad politicians; great public servants and other public servants who went to jail. I’ve seen the good, the bad, and ugly of politics in government,” he explained.

Maloney got married in 1995 and he and his wife bought their first home together in the village in 1997. Around the same time, taking up a civic role in Garden City came to mind. Maloney had settled in the eastern section, and soon he became an Eastern Property Owners’ Association director and its newsletter editor. He held roles with the EPOA from 1999 through 2005.

Life in Garden City has provided Maloney with many good examples of efficiency and attentiveness to community needs, infrastructure, social programs and economic initiatives.

“Garden City has the most residents of any section in legislative district 14 but we are an incorporated village and the village provides many services, so I do not think most residents have interactions with Nassau County government. Hicksville, Jericho, Carle Place and Bethpage have much more interaction with the county and Town of Oyster Bay or Town of North Hempstead governments. If you step back we see so often how some Nassau communities are forgotten about by those Town and County officials -- knowing Garden City, I can impart knowledge for how to better deliver services and increase activities all around us,” Maloney said.

Maloney defines himself as a candidate for office as “a social liberal and a fiscal conservative.” He says at the Nassau County level the national perspectives can be tossed aside for legislators to find the best ways to serve residents by protecting neighborhoods, fixing roads and “making sure we aren’t giving out contracts to the politically connected.” He sees Nassau County signing on for billions of dollars in bid and contract awards and too often, the family and friends of those in office are the recipients.

In recent years, Maloney points to the proposal that Nassau Regional OffTrack Betting Corp. (OTB) laid out to put a facility with gambling and gaming at the Source Mall in Westbury in

the former Fortunoff building. In 2015 and 2016, former Garden City Mayor Nicholas Episcopia consistently stated his opposition to the project at Board of Trustees’ meetings. Maloney tried to see how the County Legislature was weighing quality of life issues residents all along the central Nassau County corridor had brought forward. This led him to contacting Legislator Laura Schaefer.

Maloney contends that his discussions with Legislator Schaefer and other officials were not bringing attention to the positions of the Republican majority in the Nassau County Legislature, which he saw as conflicting with the public’s best interests. He says although the plan for a casino-type facility fizzled after several communities offered backlash, the politics behind this proposal were very unsettling.

“The Republicans said their hands were tied because OTB can come in and do anything they want, and our Legislature could not do anything.

Through research I discovered that this was not exactly true. The County Legislature had authority to remove the OTB Board and elect new members who could decide differently -- so their hands were not tied. County Legislators were doing the bidding of (Nassau Republican Chairman) Joe Cairo, who is the Nassau OTB president. Legislators never brought this to a vote, they never acted on behalf of the people. The minority in Legislature (Democrats) wanted this to go to a vote to remove the existing OTB Board, the Republicans refused -instead the attempt was made to sneak this by during the holiday season,” Maloney said.

He also hoped for better accountability among county officials in the aftermath of former County Executive Ed Mangano’s arrest in October 2016 on bribery and corruption charges, for which he was sentenced earlier this month following a retrial. “I started to talk about how Mangano was situating some cronies with permanent positions in the County. The Democrat party and (Garden City Democrats’ organizer) Larry Nedelka noticed our online comments, and how I was articulating the situation Mangano has left the county in. Realizing how I had a perspective and understanding of how government worked, Larry suggested to me ‘did you ever think about running for office?”

Maloney said.

The chance at ensuring Nassau County Legislature can work effectively and efficiently became the race for Maloney to take up.

“Incumbent Legislator (District 18) Josh Lafazan is a great example, he’s a registered unaffiliated voter -- while Josh is making strides to bring millenials and younger people to vote and be involved at local levels, I want to do the same for my age group, the middle-aged See page 49

Email: Editor@GCNews.com From page 2 In the wake of the discovery that our water wells contain contaminant 1.4 dioxane that will cost a projected $50 million to rectify requiring a timely plan of action as other area villages have the same problem and the access to companies possessing the equipment to fix it are limited, let us finally say enough is enough.

Let’s spend no more of our time time debating St Paul’s fate while more important problems erode the quality of life we all expect and deserve as citizens.

With regard to the Garden City water supply, let’s try to keep to the facts.

There are two corporations that supply our water, The Village Garden City, and Jamaica Water. Jamaica Water supplies much of the Western properties in Garden City and sends a technical letter as to the particular quality of the water with each bill.

The Village of Garden City, which has the eight wells contaminated with the 1.4 dioxane particulate does not.

The Village water bill does not disclose

particular properties? Is because they know somethings they don’t want us to know, or is it just not known? If it is the latter , in the wake of what we now know, shouldn’t they make the same information available that Jamaica water does if possible?

The fact is the village should make its citizens aware one way or the other .

Families using the water supply should be confident it is or isn’t safe for consumption. It shouldn’t be ambiguous, as I’m sure it is now to many , as it is to me.

There seems to be confusion among the village board members as to what they should and should concern themselves with regard regarding policy and safety..

Issues such as air quality and water quality shouldn’t be nebulous, but rather inalienable rights of citizens and taxpayers. Discussions about antiquated facilities that serve no purpose shouldn’t continue to dominate their time and effort.

Dan Mccarthy Editor’s note: Jamaica Water is now the Water Authority of Western Nassau.

Laura Schaefer, Mike Maloney vie for County Legislator seat From page 48 crowd. I like how Lafazan works across party lines to implement new laws in the county. While Josh makes efforts for Nassau County to be a more liveable place for millenials, I want to try to see the county remain a liveable place for families and people who have established their homes here and who pay taxes in our communities -- people are entering the ends of their work life and careers but they are finding it so much harder and harder to live here,” Maloney said.

His original intent was to run as an independent candidate (not affiliated with the Independent Party). After looking up election law in New York State and observing two party-rule, Maloney found that to be impossible. The County Legislature is currently comprised of 11 Republicans and 8 Democrats. In Nassau County, Democrats reached out to people on the ground level such as Maloney and asked them to consider how they can be involved. He says what appeals to him about 2019 local-level politics is how involvement crosses every border.

“Three or four challengers for County Legislator seats this year are independents. Tom Tweedy, former mayor of Floral Park, is also running on the Democratic line for Town of Hempstead Council (to fill the seat

vacated by indicted Ed Ambrosino) but Tweedy is a registered Republican.

Candidate for Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor James Altadonna, who is a registered Republican and has served as Town Clerk under the Republican party is running on the Democratic line there. To their credit Nassau County Democrats have just went out seeking good people,” he said.

Mike Maloney says he’s caucusing with the Democrats this year and help them gain a majority of the Legislature if his bid is successful on November 5, “but I am to remain an unaffiliated voter....I will always vote based on my conscience and there may be times I do not vote the same as Democrats do -- I will not allow either party to abuse their powers.”

Maloney is a proponent of implementing term limits as a span of 8 to 12 years maximum should be the time for someone to serve in office.

“People can either move on into another elected office if they choose, or legislators can go back to their private lives after serving Nassau County for up to a dozen years -- this should not be a career. We have approximately 1.3 million people and a lot of talent here that can step forward to serve the public. Nassau County Legislature is the outlet I am choosing to run for in order to give back to my home community,” Maloney said.

Go Green with Kelly & Colleen From page 2 cosmetics, deodorant, skin lotion, and household cleaners, including laundry detergent. According to the Citizens Campaign for the Environment, the household items with the highest levels of 1,4-dioxane include Victoria’s Secret shower gels, Tide Original detergent, and Dreft Stage 1/Newborn baby laundry detergent. 1,4 Dioxane goes by a number of different names, including 1,4-diethylene dioxide; 1,4-dioxacyclohexane; di (ethylene oxide); diethylene dioxide; diethylene dioxide (osha); diethylene ether; diokan; dioksan (Polish); diossano-1,4 (Italian); dioxaan-1,4 (Dutch); dioxan. These forms of 1,4-dioxane are actually byproducts that could be easily removed by manufacturers, but currently there are no legal mandates in place that require reporting or removing this contamination. Consumers can petition state legislators and pressure manufacturers to remove these harmful contaminants from their products. Additionally, consumers can indirectly demand better, safer products by carefully considering each purchase and buying items that do not contain known carcinogens like 1,4-dioxane.

Unfortunately, conventional home filtration systems do not remove 1,4-dioxane from tap water. Reverseosmosis (“RO”) systems do remove the contaminant, but there are drawbacks.

First, reverse osmosis systems are costly, although, arguably, less costly than drinking bottled water daily. It is recommended that if you are considering installing a reverse osmosis water treatment system, you consider installing it through a separate tap for use in the kitchen, rather than using the RO treated water for bathing and lawn irrigation. Secondly, reverse osmosis systems create waste, up to four gallons of waste per gallon of water filtered. Lastly, because RO strips water of all sodium and other minerals along with contaminants, the water may taste strange. Remineralization products are available, again, at an additional cost.

Bottled Water

The bottled water industry causes many problems around water availability and environmental pollution making bottled water a troublesome alternative

for a number of reasons that are important to consider. As discussed in previous editions of “Go Green” plastics are concerning across environmental and public health metrics. Plastic bottles leach chemicals like bisphenol A (BPA) into the water, and since so few bottles are actually recycled, they are a major source of pollution and contribute to the pervasiveness of microplastics in our oceans and water systems. Generally, there is a lack of oversite and limited regulations on the practices of multinational corporations that bottle water, as exemplified during the California drought of 2015 when Nestlé continued to pump water from the San Bernardino national forest despite the fact its pumping permit expired in 1988. The safety of bottled (FDA) and tap water (EPA) fall to different agencies, yet the FDA must adopt the same safety requirements applied to tap water under the Safe Water Drinking Act unless it can demonstrate a rationale for the deviation. However, across the country there are many gaps in the enforcement of the Safe Drinking Water Act with more than 20% of treatment systems in the US breaching pivotal stipulations.

Do you know the local regulations and water safety where your bottled water is sourced? Furthermore, the bottled water safety requirements from the FDA allow companies to refrain from reporting contaminants found in the water, except for those posing a severe health risk such as E. Coli. This lack of transparency in the bottled water industry overlooks the indisputable impact of toxins in bottled water and deserves further attention and public notification as well as consumer awareness.

Our goal is to continue raising awareness regarding the complexity of our water issues and weigh the health and environmental consequences of our available options. Yet, like many of you, we struggle with the complexity of these challenges in terms of water safety, availability, and the environmental consequences of our choices, and we lament the fact there is not an easy solution. As always, please reach out to us with your thoughts, comments, questions, or ideas for future topics. Email us at GoGreenwithKellyandColleen@ gmail.com. We look forward to greening Garden City together.

Roberto Mora on the D-Line

The Thunder 9s traveled to Bethpage this past Sunday, where they defeated the Eagles 28 – 7. Game captains Brett Webber, Wolfy Ullrich, CJ Mattice and RJ Falvey won the coin toss and the Thunder took command of the field. The first run of the game belonged to Jeffrey Finnell, who played in his first Thunder game of the season!

The Thunder was unable to covert some great runs into a touchdown and turned over the ball on downs.

The defense took over and quickly got the ball back thanks to Thunder’s Legion of Boom: AJ Haffner, Mark Escher, Crosby Kraus, Zachary Psilakis, Vance Palmer, Declan Serkes, Colin Walsh, Kevin Sorohan and Connor Doherty, again sending it down

Connor Doherty (84), Zachary Psilakis (52) and Christian Roddini (16) sack an Eagle

the with a 45-yard run by Finnell. This time, the offense was able capitalize with QB James Walker scoring the touchdown and AJ Haffner grabbing the extra point thanks to great blocking by the Ethan Dorsainvil, RJ Falvey, CJ Mattice and Tyler Feeney.

The Eagles quickly answered with their own TD, putting the Thunder offense back on the field with a 55-yard TD run by Christian Roddini, who received a congratulations hug from his cousin, who plays on the Eagles, followed by another extra point from Haffner.

Thunder defense did not let up any more yards with hard-hitting stops from Dominick Adimando, Brendan Kennedy, Gavin Macchio, Christopher Breglio,

Roberto Mora and Ronan Coyle, including Kevin Sorohan causing a fumble and Brett Webber and Conor Doherty making the recovery.

The offense continued to dominate with great runs by Kevin Prybylski, and Michael Ferrucci and touchdowns by Ryan Rafferty and Crosby Kraus with the extra points scored by AJ Haffner.

More importantly, these young players of the Thunder 9s continually displayed good sportsmanship in a difficult environment. Thank you coaches. The Walker Thunder 9s will head to Franklin Square on Sunday at 12:00 to take on Warriors. Come cheer them on. Go Thunder!

Thunder 10 Whalens win battle with the Braves Thunder 10 Whalens traveled to Bellmore to take on the Braves this past Sunday. The Thunder proved they came prepared to play, scoring on their first possession. Brendan Benn passed off to Anthony Asaro, and with offensive blocking by Mack Whalen, Thomas Bacich, Luke Agrippina and Kyle Conefry, Asaro cut thru the Brave defense to run for a 48-yard touchdown run. Vincent Lattuca ran in the extra point for the Thunder to take the lead 7-0. Thunder defenseman Cole Lewis and Alex Bruno were key in holding off the Braves and getting possession back quickly to the Thunder. During the Thunder’s second possession, Benn handed off to James Schiraldi, who had a 37-yard touchdown run to bring the score at the end of the first quarter to Thunder 13, Braves 0.

The Thunder continued their successful drives in the second quarter with Benn passing off to Matteo Ingrassia, Kyle Glosman, Brett McGowan and Vincent Lattuca, all of whom had solid runs to gain yardage for the Thunder. Will Curley caught an interception to end a Braves drive. As the quarter was coming to an end, a quarterback sneak led to a 20-yard touchdown run by Brendan Benn. After the Braves blocked the field goal attempt, the second quarter ended 19-0.

Vincent Lattuca stepped into the quarterback role in the third quarter, passing off to Jackson Castellanos, Kyle Glosman, Vincent Lodato and Brayden Cook all with strong runs. Aidan Pascale had his first run of the season, gaining 17 yards and falling just short of a touchdown.

Chris Bryne was instrumental on defense with multiple key tackles throughout the game. The third quarter ended with Gavin Friedman forcing and recovering a fumble to end the Braves drive and gain possession back for the Thunder.

Midway thru the fourth quarter, another quarterback change put Brett McGowan in the role, passing off to Thomas Bacich, Aidan Pascale and Matt Ryan all running to gain yardage for the Thunder. The Thunder had tremendous runs in the third and fourth quarters, but the Braves defense prevented any further touchdowns ending the game Thunder 19, Braves 0.

The boys hope to continue this momentum as they head to Oyster Bay this Sunday to challenge the Oyster-Bayville Generals. Please come cheer them on! Go Thunder!

On Monday, October 21, GCHS hosted a charity volleyball event to support the DezyStrong Foundation.

This was a very special cause that touched the hearts of everyone who learned about its founder Matt “Dezy” DiStefano’s inspiring story of his current battle against stage IV kidney cancer. Mark Beckmann, a captain of the boys varsity volleyball team who organized the event, welcomed and thanked the guests for their participation and support, and reminded everyone of Coach Dezy’s #WeGetTo mantra.

There was a festive atmosphere as one entered the decorated gym, replete with Varsity and JV Volleyball players from Garden City, West Hempstead, Oceanside and Great Neck South, many playing in the foundation’s light blue and orange shirts. The teens participated in friendly volleyball scrimmages and exciting serving contests, with fun prizes donated by Barnes and Noble, Stop-N-Shop, the Caputo bak-

ery in Brooklyn and a host of gift cards provided by numerous parents.

The event was a huge success, thanks to the spirited effort of the GC students who worked at the bake sale throughout the day, sold raffle tickets and played with heart. The community as a whole came together showing incredible solidarity with touching personal stories and donations. A couple of examples—one volleyball grandma drove all the way from PA to bring her delicious cookies and attend the event, while the winner of the 50-50 raffle generously donated the prize money back to the cause.

Thank you to the GC administration and the coaches who coordinated efforts to make this event possible.

When presented with the news that the team was able to raise ~$6000, Coach Dezy said he is “beyond grateful!” for all the support.

The Garden City community is indeed DezyStrong!

Boys Varsity Soccer undefeated Conference Champions

The seniors of the Garden City High School Boys Varsity Soccer team The Garden City Boys Varsity Soccer team wrapped up an undefeated regular season and second consecutive conference championship this past week. Over the past several weeks, the heavy schedule of games got a little lighter, which benefitted the Trojans as they were nursing numerous illnesses and injuries. The team recorded a win over Mepham 6-0 and three 1-1 ties. With over a week off now to rest and recover to full strength, the boys are hoping to build off an outstanding season and make a deep playoff run.

This year’s Trojans team features a large senior class that has significantly contributed to the success of the program over the past 3 years.

To date, they have won one Long Island championship, one Nassau County championship, two conference championships and also been Nassau County runner-ups once.

The team celebrated Senior Day last week with a nice onfield ceremony with their families followed by

what can only be described as the worst weather ever seen for a soccer game in a bomb cyclone nor’easter.

The seniors include Tommy Aneser, Joe Bernieri (Captain), Christian Byrne, Luke Caporicci, Billy Castoro (Captain), James Connolly, Joe Griffin (Captain), Owen Heaney (Captain), James Klein, Danny Lynch, Aidan McKernan, James McNally, Joe McNiff, James McQuaid, Ethan Senatore (Captain) and Will Weiland.

Thunder Rogler 10s clash with the Warriors

Rogler 10s wrap up another tough game.

In their final home game of the season, Thunder matched up against the Franklin Square Warriors.

Pass plays and defensive blitzes made for an exciting football game.

The Warriors were powerful and determined as they charged into the end zone. CJ Rogler intercepted an extra point pass attempt to keep the score at 13-0 heading into halftime.

Power coverage by Bobby Skiadas,

Gus Galli, Ethan Klie and Harrison Lagonikos helped move Thunder down the field to the red zone. Thunder refused to be shutout of the end zone. A fourth quarter QB scramble and 10-yard toss from Luke Turck to Kelly Knapp for the score put GC on the board.

The final score was a 20-6 Warrior victory. The boys head to Farmingdale for their next game on Sunday, 10/27 at 9:00 a.m. Go Thunder!

Feeling Like a Foreigner in My Hometown: Global Scavenger Hunt Ends in New York City

BY KAREN RUBIN TRAVEL FEATURES SYNDICATE GOINGPLACESFARANDNEAR.COM The Global Scavenger Hunt teams arrive in New York City for the last leg of the Global Scavenger Hunt, a mystery tour that has taken us to 10 countries in 23 days.

Bill Chalmers, the ringmaster and Chief Experience Officer of this around-the-world mystery tour, has designed the rules, challenges and scavenges to get us out of our comfort zone and immerse us in a culture, fine-tune our skills as world travelers, and most significantly, “trust in the kindness of strangers.”

Back in New York, he is delighted all 10 teams circumnavigated the world “in one piece” without dramatic incident, in this, the 15th annual Global Scavenger Hunt competition.

There is one more challenge in New York (an easy urban Par 1), and even though, based on points and placement, the winners of the 15thannual, 2019 edition of the Global Scavenger Hunt have been determined, still the teams go out and give it their all. The four teams still in contention must complete at least one of the scavenges in New York, and complete their time sheet and hand in by the 4 pm deadline.

Examples of the scavenges: take

just visited in the Met; visit Strawberry Fields, pay John Lennon tribute; do one scavenge in each of the five boroughs of New York City.

A native New Yorker, this is really my turf, though there is the oddest sensation of feeling like I am in a foreign place, reminding myself of what is familiar and not having to think twice about things like language, currency, drinking water from the tap, eating raw vegetable, the street grid).

In fact, that is the genius of the way the Global Scavenger Hunt is designed – we are supposed to feel off-balance, disoriented because that’s when you focus most, the experiences are more intense, you are out of your comfort zone and need to rely on the kindness of strangers, as opposed to the style of travel where you stay long enough to become familiar, comfortable in a place so it (and you) no longer feels foreign.

I elect to take up the challenge of going to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to seek out objects from five of the countries we visited (Canada, Vietnam, Myanmar, Thailand, Abu Dhabi, Jordan, Greece, Morocco, Gibraltar, Portugal, Spain). Greece will be easy, of course, but Morocco and Jordan (Petra), Vietnam and Myanmar (Burma) are trickier. It is Chalmers’ way of making us experience things on a different level, and for me, it brings together so much of what we’ve seen, learned and experienced along the way. I have a context in which to appreciate the artifacts, dare I say a personal connection.

I first join a docent-led Highlights Tour, knowing from past experience that these always lead me to parts of the museum I am unfamiliar with, and enlighten me about aspects of art and culture with the in-depth discussion of the pieces the docents select to discuss.

The docent, Alan, begins in the Greco-Roman exhibit with a stunning marble sculpture of the Three Graces, showing how this theme – essentially copied from the Greek bronzes (which no longer exist because the bronze was valuable and melted down for military use) – was repeated over the eons, into the Renaissance and even beyond.

Greece. One down.

Obviously, finding an object from Greece would be easy, and I hope to find objects from Vietnam, Myanmar (Burma), and Thailand in the Asia wing where there is a massive collection of Buddhist art (it proves just a tad more difficult, but I succeed).

Morocco and Jordan (Petra) prove trickier than I expected, but bring me to an astonishing, landmark exhib-

it, “The World Between Empires: Art and Identity in the Ancient Middle East,” with an extraordinary focus on the territories and trading networks of the Middle East that were contested between the Roman and Parthian Empires (ca. 100 BC and AD 250) “yet across the region life was not defined by these two superpowers alone. Local cultural and religious traditions flourished and sculptures, wall paintings, jewelry and other objects reveal how ancient identities were expressed through art.”

This is a goldmine for my hunt.

Featuring 190 works from museums in the Middle East, Europe and the United States, the exhibition follows the great incense and silk routes that connected cities in southwestern Arabia, Nabataea, Judea, Syria and Mesopotamia, that made the region a center of global trade along with spreading ideas, spurring innovations (such as in water control), and spawning art and culture. It is a treasure trove for my scavenger hunt.

It is the most incredible feeling to come upon the objects from Petra, having visited the site (was it only 10 days ago?) and having a context for seeing these isolated objects on display.

I recall seeing their counterparts in the newly opened Archaeological Museum at Petra.

The World between Empires The landmark exhibition The World between Empires: Art and Identity

in the Ancient Middle East (unfortunately it is only on view through June 23, 2019), focuses on the remarkable cultural, religious and commercial exchange that took place in cities including Petra, Baalbek, Palmyra and Hatra between 100 B.C. and A.D. 250.

“During this transformative period, the Middle East was the center of global commerce and the meeting point of two powerful empires—Parthian Iran in the east and Rome in the west—that struggled for regional control.”

Among the highlights is a Nabataean religious shrine, reconstructed from architectural elements in collections in the United States and Jordan; the unique Magdala Stone, discovered in a first-century synagogue at Migdal (ancient Magdala) with imagery that refers to the Temple in Jerusalem; and wall paintings from a church in DuraEuropos that are the earliest securely dated images of Jesus.

Sculptures from Baalbek illuminate religious traditions at one of the greatest sanctuaries in the ancient Middle East, and funerary portraits from Palmyra bring visitors face to face with ancient people. The exhibition also examines important contemporary issues—above all, the deliberate destruction and looting of sites including Palmyra, DuraEuropos, and Hatra.

“The compelling works of art in this exhibition offer a view into how people in the ancient Middle East sought to define themselves during a time of tremendous religious, creative, and political activity, revealing aspects of their lives and communities that resonate

Hunting for an object from Morocco, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art © Karen Rubin/ goingplacesfarandnear.com some two millennia later,” stated Max Hollein, Director, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, in a video that accompanies the exhibit. “Further, in focusing on an area of the world that has been deeply affected by recent conflicts and the destruction of sites, monuments, and objects, this show also engages with complex questions about the preservation of cultural heritage.”

The exhibition evokes a journey along ancient trade routes, beginning in the southwestern Arabian kingdoms that grew rich from the caravan trade in frankincense and myrrh harvested there and used throughout the ancient world.

Camel caravans crossed the desert to the Nabataean kingdom, with its spectacular capital city of Petra, which I have just visited, walking through very much as the caravan travelers would have.

From here, goods traveled west to the Mediterranean and north and east through regions including Judaea and the Phoenician coast and across the Syrian desert, where the oasis city of Palmyra controlled trade routes that connected the Mediterranean world to Mesopotamia and Iran and ultimately China. In Mesopotamia, merchants transported cargoes down the Tigris and Euphrates rivers to the Persian Gulf, where they joined maritime trade routes to India. These connections transcended the borders of empires, forming networks that linked cities and individuals over vast distances.

“Across the entire region, diverse local political and religious identi-

ties were expressed in art. Artifacts from Judaea give a powerful sense of ancient Jewish identity during a critical period of struggle with Roman rule.

Architectural sculptures from the colossal sanctuary at Baalbek and statuettes of its deities reveal the intertwined nature of Roman and ancient Middle Eastern religious practices. Funerary portraits from Palmyra represent the elite of an important hub of global trade.

Wall paintings and sculptures from Dura-Europos on the River Euphrates illustrate the striking religious diversity of a settlement at the imperial frontier. And in Mesopotamia, texts from the last Babylonian cuneiform libraries show how ancient temple institutions waned and finally disappeared during this transformative period.”

From my visits in Athens and Petra, particularly, I appreciate this synergy between trade, migration, environmental sustainability and technology (in Petra’s Archaeology Museum, you learn how the ability to control water supply was key to the city’s development) and the links to economic prosperity and political power, and the rise of art, culture, and community. (I recall the notes from the National Archaeology Museum in Athens that made this very point.)

It is rare (if ever) for the Metropolitan Museum to venture into the political, but a key topic within the exhibition is the impact of recent armed conflicts in Iraq, Syria, and Yemen on archaeological sites, monuments, and museums, including deliberate destruction and looting. Some of the most iconic sites affected—Palmyra, Hatra, and DuraEuropos—are featured in the exhibition, which discusses this damage and raises questions regarding current and future responses to the destruction of heritage. Should the sites be restored or will they now only exist “on paper”?

How much money and resources should go to restoring or excavation when villages and homes for people to live in also need to be rebuilt?

Happening upon this exhibit made the travel experiences we had to these extraordinary places all the more precious.

It is a humbling experience, to be sure, to go to the origins of the great civilizations, fast forward to today. How did they become great? How did they fall? Greatness is not inevitable or forever. Empires rise and fall. Rulers use religion, art and monuments to establish their credibility and credentials to rule; successors blot out the culture and re-write history.

The Global Scavenger Hunt is the brainchild of Bill and Pamela Chalmers, who in addition to forging understanding and bonds among travelers and the people in the destinations visited, use the program to raise money for the GreatEscape Foundation and promote voluntourism - one of the scavenges in Yangon, Myanmar is to volunteer at an orphanage or school; past GSH travelers visited and helped out at Tibetan refugee camps in Nepal, orphanages in Laos, hospitals in Cambodia, homeless schools in India, hospices in Manila, disabled facilities in Sri Lanka, Ethiopian schools, the slums of Nairobi.

“The foundation is one of main reasons we do the event,” Chalmers says at our final meeting before going out for a celebration dinner. The foundation has raised money to build 12 schools (1 each in Niger, Haiti, Ecuador, India & Ethiopia; 2 each in Sri Lanka & Sierra Leone, and 3 in Kenya), helped build the Tamensa Medical Clinic in Niger for migrating Tuareg nomads which serves as a midwives & nurse training center too. “We know that we saved lives and bettered the lives of hundreds. We have helped over 2400 families in more than 60 countries (mostly women entrepreneurs) with our interest and fee free micro-loans (96% of which have gone to women with a 99% repayment).”

Through the event this and last year, the foundation will build 2 more co-ed elementary schools , in Ethiopia and Haiti.

2020 Global Scavenger Hunt Set for April 17-May 9 Chalmers has just set the dates for the 23-day 2020 Global Scavenger Hunt: April 17-May 9, 2020. Entry applications are now being accepted.

What’s sinister & oh, so eerily spooky on Halloween?

BY CLAIRE LYNCH The following is a work of fiction... or is it???

The night before Halloween Robbie Bennett was lying in bed thinking of what the holiday would be like. He looked forward to Halloween all year long and probably was more excited about it even than Christmas.

He thought about his costume - the one his mother had gotten him two

weeks ago - and he knew it would be great. It fit him perfectly. How did he spell relief?

He would look good and be comfortable in it, too. No more wearing costumes that he couldn’t see out of, like the dragon costume his mother had made for him when he was five years old, or that he couldn’t move around in easily, like the knight in shining armor costume he had worn two years ago or like the pumpkin costume that was

definitely awkward that he wore trick or treating when he was four years old.

That bright orange pumpkin with its tall green stem certainly stuck out and got him a lot of compliments, but it really wasn’t him. It wasn’t his idea of the perfect Halloween costume, not in his opinion, anyway.

He was eight years old now and he wanted to pick something that he wanted to be. A power ranger was right up his alley. It was fun, it was excit-

ing, it was cool. The blue two-piece costume had a muscle torso and arms, an attached belt and a character headpiece. He could see fine out of it. It was comfortable, too.

Clearing Up More Myths and Misunderstandings

BY TOM MARGENAU

I pointed out in last week’s column that there are hundreds of myths and rumors being spread -- mostly on the internet -- about Social Security. Half of them deal with the politics and financing of Social Security. I covered some of those in recent columns. But there are also a multitude of myths about Social Security programs and how they work.

Last week, I dealt with myths surrounding Social Security retirement benefits.

This week, I’ll take on the rumors that people hear about dependent and survivor benefits.

Myth: As a wife, I will get half of my husband’s Social Security.

The 50% spousal rate applies only to those women who wait until their full retirement age to claim benefits. But benefits are reduced roughly one-half of 1% for each month they are taken before full retirement age. At 62, the earliest age you can claim spousal benefits, you’d get about one-third of your husband’s benefit, but only to the extent it exceeds what you are due on your own record.

Myth: I can take reduced benefits on my spouse’s record at 62 and later switch to full benefits on my own Social Security account.

With one exception, which I’ll get to in a minute, you can’t do that. There is a rule that says all Social Security claims are open-ended. In other words, when you file for one kind of Social Security benefit, you must file for any and all other benefits you are due at the same time.

To explain further, let’s follow an example. Sue is 62. Her husband, Hank, is 68 and already getting his Social Security. Sue thinks that she can file for half of Hank’s Social Security at 62 and then at 66, switch to 100% of her own benefit.

Again, she can’t. She must file for her own Social Security benefit first. At the same time, they will look to Hank’s record to see if she can get any additional spousal benefits from him. But it’s not likely. As a 62-year-old spouse, she is due about 35% (not 50%) of Hank’s Social Security. And if Sue has worked any decent amount of time, her own Social Security benefit will exceed what she is due from Hank’s record.

But it would be a different story if Hank were dead. And that leads to the exception I mentioned earlier. Widows do have the option of taking reduced benefits on one record and later switching to full benefits on the other record.

For example, if Hank were no longer with us, Sue could file for widow’s benefits at 62 and get about 82% of Hank’s benefit. Then at 66, she could switch to 100% of her own Social Security or wait until 70 and get 132%.

Myth: Once I make a choice, I can’t switch from one benefit to another.

Yes, you can. It happens all the time.

Some readers may be confused because I just said that you can’t take spousal benefits and later switch to your own. But now we are talking about the opposite side of that coin. It is a fairly common practice for people to start out taking their own retirement benefits and later switch to benefits from a spouse.

Let’s go back to Sue and Hank and change their circumstances just a bit.

When Sue turns 62, she files for her own retirement benefits. But this time, let’s say Hank is also 62 and wants to wait until he is 66 to file for his Social Security. When he does that, assuming his benefit rate is significantly higher than Sue’s benefit check, she can file for some additional spousal benefits on Hank’s account.

Myth: The government robs the families of deceased Social Security beneficiaries by taking back the last Social Security check.

Three Social Security rules come into play here. The first rule says that Social Security benefits are always paid a month behind. For example, the October Social Security benefit is paid in November. The second rule says that Social Security benefits are never prorated. The third rule says you must be alive the entire month to get a Social Security benefit for that month.

Let’s follow an example. Sam dies on Oct. 27. Sam’s family must return the check that comes in November (the payment for October). They gripe about that rule, claiming that Sam was alive for most of the month of October, so the family should get most, if not all, of the proceeds of that last check.

What they don’t consider is that the lack of proration of Social Security checks can oftentimes work in the favor of the beneficiary or a surviving spouse.

For example, let’s say that Sam started his benefits at 66 and his birthday is July 30. Because Social Security benefits are not prorated, Sam would have received a Social Security check for the entire month of July even though he was 66 for only a couple of days of the month.

And if Sam left a widow, she would get a widow’s benefit for the whole month of October even though Sam died on Oct. 27, meaning she was widowed for only four days of the month.

Myth: When my husband dies, I will get all of his Social Security.

That’s generally true if you are 66 or older when your husband dies. But the widow’s rate is reduced if taken earlier.

For example, at age 60 (the earliest most women can claim widow’s benefits), the rate is about 71%.

And there is another little twist to this story. It is best explained with a simple example. Sam took his Social Security at 62. He is getting a reduced retirement benefit equal to 75% of his

$1,000 per month full retirement rate. So Sam is getting $750. His wife, Sadie, who never worked outside the home, is getting spousal benefits equal to about 35% of Sam’s full benefit, or $350 monthly.

Sam dies at age 89. Sadie is 87. Although Sam was getting the 75% rate, there is a law that says a widow over age 66 can-

not get less than 82.5% of her husband’s full rate. So instead of a widow’s benefit of $750, Sadie will start getting $825 off Sam’s account.

What’s sinister & oh, so eerily spooky on Halloween?

C ontinued from page D3 neighborhood, he noticed something moving just off to the side of his bed. It was a claw sticking out, a single claw and he couldn’t imagine where it was coming from.

He was afraid to look and see what it was and he was afraid not to. What if it moved out and up onto his bed? What if it got him?

All he could think was that it was some evil thing. It was an evil presence right there in his room and he didn’t like it one bit.

He wondered if this was some terrible Halloween trick that maybe his older brother, Tommy, who was 10, was playing.

If so, he would get even with him. He would think of some good trick to play on Tommy when he was least expecting it.

As he thought of all of the possibilities, Robbie lay in bed and tried waiting it out. The next time he looked down at the side of his bed there was a paw sticking out. One single paw.

After several minutes Robbie hopped out of bed and knelt down to see that it was his black cat, Sinister, looking out at him. Robbie breathed a sigh of relief.

At least that made sense.

Robbie knew that Sinister liked to climb on top of a Tupperware storage container that was under his bed and was about five inches from the bottom of his box spring. It was a tight fit.

How that 14-lb. cat fit in that space was beyond him, and Robbie shook his head at Sinister who was now standing on the floor next to his bed. All he saw were the cat’s green eyes staring back at him and he reached down and playfully gave his cat a pet on the head.

Robbie knew that Sinister fit right in with the Bennetts and that occasionally he liked to play tricks on the various family members.

Like the time Sinister jumped on Robbie’s father’s head when he was reaching to get something out of the refrigerator.

Like the other time that Sinister hid around a corner when he heard Robbie coming and jumped out to scare him.

Yikes. Sinister was comfortable in their home, very comfortable, indeed.

That was all fine and dandy but what a cat, he thought. Sinister was scaring the living daylights out of him.

He didn’t need that on Halloween.

For that holiday he had to be rested up.

He had to be relaxed not all wound up like an alarm clock.

Many times Sinister jumped up on Robbie’s bed, cuddled up at his feet and they slept all night. On this particular Halloween it was a bright, sunny day.

Robbie woke up early, early for him, at 8 a.m., excited because Halloween Day had finally arrived.

It was a Sunday and he had made plans to meet up with his friends, Danny, Johnny and Mark. Danny was nine, Johnny was 10 and Mark was 11.

Robbie’s mom said that the four boys should stick together as a group. He promised her that they would so she felt reassured and said that she didn’t have to go with them.

Robbie knew that his sister, Milly, was going trick or treating but she was nine and she was going with a group of her friends and one girl’s mother. She was on her own.

Eating his breakfast hurriedly, a crunchy bowl of Fruit Loops, Robbie hoped that the time would pass quickly.

After lunch he rode his bicycle outside for a while then he went inside and played some music.

Later he told his mom and dad where he was going before running out the door to go trick or treating with his friends.

His mom said to be sure that Sinister was still inside the house. She didn’t want that black cat of theirs outside on a holiday like Halloween. Robbie said okay, checked on Sinister, who was sleeping contentedly on a windowsill and off he went.

The three other boys were standing on the corner ahead of him so Robbie quickly caught up. They decided to go trick or treating house to house, up and down each block, and see how far they would get.

At the first house they rang the doorbell and when old Mr. Jones opened the door he invited the four boys inside for some donuts and cold cider. They said okay, headed for the dining room and there was Mrs. Jones standing there smiling and waiting for the visitors.

She also had a tray full of candy apples on sticks off on a side table. It was a sweet and crunch snack on a stick that looked pretty appealing.

Mrs. Jones was ready to give them some homemade donuts that were still

warm from the oven and had white powdery sugar all over them. Robbie sank his teeth into a donut which melted in his mouth. He washed it down with some cold cider then used a napkin – as he was taught – to wipe his lips.

The six of them talked for a while then the boys headed out. When Robbie rang the doorbell at the second house, they waited for a minute then a tall, thin, bony woman dressed from head to toe in a skeleton costume answered the door. Shocked, the four boys jumped back and almost fell off the stoop.

They knew that Mrs. Wagner lived there but her black and white skeleton costume not only was realistic but it was lit up with a couple of strands of electric Christmas lights.

Wow, were they surprised! Mrs. Wagner really got them good! They weren’t expecting their neighbor to pull a trick on them but she really turned the tables and did just that.

After everyone settled down they laughed at themselves and they took some deep breaths. Then she put lots of candy bars and other treats into their Halloween bags so they were happy.

When they got outside and onto the sidewalk each boy said, “Man, she really scared me!” They continued on and kept going from house to house. Some people weren’t home at certain houses but most of the homes had someone there to greet them with a “Happy Halloween!”

On the next block they rang the doorbell of Mrs. Wright and she greeted them then stood in the doorway because she wanted to tell a few jokes before the boys left.

They moved on to the next house not knowing if any tricks were going to be played on them but the rest of their trick or treating was fairly normal.

Robbie and his three friends had a good time that Halloween so after all of their trick or treating they said goodbye then headed off in different directions.

When Robbie got home the front door shut behind him with a loud bang then he headed for the kitchen where he figured that his parents and sister would be.

Sure enough they were sitting around the kitchen table enjoying some mugs full of hot apple cider. Every so often they would dip their cinnamon stick into their drink and stir it around carefully. Robbie, who was cold from

being out trick or treating, wanted a mug of that. He poured some of the hot cider, grabbed a cinnamon stick and sat down, joining their little group.

He told them about his escapades with Danny, Johnny and Mark – and about how Mrs. Wagner had greeted the Halloween trick or treaters that afternoon. “I didn’t expect my neighbor to be pulling any tricks on us,” Robbie said seriously.

They howled with laughter and both of his parents had to admit that they had never thought about doing that.

Dressing up in a skeleton costume then lighting it up with Christmas lights was pretty clever.

Then they stopped to think and added that they had never turned the tables on any trick or treaters or tricked them in any way. “It was very clever,” Robbie’s dad said, “but it could also scare the daylights out of someone.”

Speaking of scaring the daylights out of someone, Robbie recounted how Sinister had scared him the night before. “Was that cat psychic?”

Robbie asked. “Did he know that it was Halloween Eve? All I could see what a claw slowly coming out. Yikes!”

His mom, dad and Milly got a good laugh out of that story, too. Robbie listened as Milly told them all about where she had gone and what she did with her friends. They all listened closely and enjoyed hearing about the day’s events.

Then the doorbell rang and his dad jumped up to greet the next batch of visitors. As he walked to the front door he shouted over his shoulder to his wife and children, “I’d better watch out. I don’t know what’s going to happen.

These trick or treaters might be sinister!”

This is pure fiction – or is it? What’s your favorite Halloween story?

Halloween is Happening in Sleepy Hollow: New Musical Experience Joins Horseman’s Hollow, Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze

BY KAREN RUBIN TRAVEL FEATURES SYNDICATE GOINGPLACESFARANDNEAR.COM

SLEEPY HOLLOW, NY — Halloween season in Sleepy Hollow Country, a legendary time that draws hundreds of thousands to the area, now features more frightful fun than ever before!

Historic Hudson Valley’s fall events, the largest in the tri-state area, kicked off Friday, Sept. 20, and take place on selected evenings through Saturday, Nov. 30. Historic Hudson Valley expects to draw more than 250,000 visitors to Sleepy Hollow Country this fall.

The Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze®, widely acclaimed as one of the country’s best fall extravaganza, is celebrating its fifteenth year and will run for a record 49 select evenings from late September through Thanksgiving weekend. This all-ages friendly walk-through experience lights up the wooded pathways, orchards, and gardens of historic Van Cortlandt Manor in Croton-on-Hudson, N.Y., where a small team of artists hand-carve more than 7,000 jacks and elaborate pumpkin sculptures. Visitors will love seeing Blaze favorites, such as a giant spider web and mammoth sea serpent, and be awed by more pumpkin power than ever before! New additions include a Museum of Pumpkin Art and the Sleepy Hollow Bridge.

Horseman’s Hollow takes visitors back in time to a cursed Sleepy Hollow, an 18th-century village driven mad by the Headless Horseman. Professional actors, award-winning feature-film makeup artists, and state-of-the-art special effects make the Horseman’s Hollow experience all too real. This 16-night haunted attraction at Philipsburg Manor in Sleepy Hollow, N.Y., is recommended for ages 10 and up.

Also at Philipsburg Manor in Sleepy Hollow is The Unsilent Picture. This theatrical experience features a black

Preparing your home and landscape for winter

T

he leaves will start to fall in a few weeks and yes, raking and blowing time will begin once again. The drudgery of doing this every year is just one of the chores one must be resigned to doing when owning a home; unless you have or hire a gardener. However, it’s excellent exercise if you are one to move about on a regular basis.

Just like shoveling snow (or using a snow blower), one must be in good physical condition. So don’t all of a sudden be brave and do strenuous activities, if you haven’t performed them in a long time, because the end result could be an unexpected heart attack or other physical issues. Don’t jeopardize your health, it’s not worth it! Having your property tidy and neat says a lot to buyers and you don’t get a second chance at a first impression.

Soon it will also be time to think about cleaning and putting away or covering your outdoor furniture as well as storing hoses etc. Also, change the oil in your snow blower and starting it up, just to make sure it is operational and if not, it’s good time to get it fixed before that first snow day when the rush is on in repair shops.

While the weather is still quite nice, you might consider cleaning all your outside windows, assuming you can do them from the inside, since most modern windows allow you to have them open in as opposed to the old fashion ones that you had to climb up

BY PHILIP A. RAICES a ladder, sometimes to a second floor, to clean all of them from the outside, which, was very dangerous. Even cleaning out the gutters and leaders of leaves was and is another dreadful item that needs to be on your to-do list. But again, some gardeners have a unique extension to their blowers that reach up into the gutters to sufficiently clean them out and then taking your hose to thoroughly rinse them out. Not doing these two things could cause clogged gutter drains and then the water (and ice and snow) to back up into your soffits causing internal damage to your interior walls.

By the way, you still may be able to seal coat your driveway as long as temperatures are at least in the sixties and even today as I write this column it was eighty-three on my car thermometer!

Most important, don’t forget to hire a chimney sweep company to thoroughly inspect and clean your chimney of any creosote and debris, (or if any brick pointing or sealing needs to be done, do it now) before using your fireplace this winter. One never knows what animals might be nesting inside your chimney!

Also, how does your siding or paint look? While you are able, maybe you need to clean your siding and/or do

some painting while this excellent weather continues. Edging your flower beds one or two more times to provide a nice contour and accent around your lawn areas, will again add that little neatness and sharpness to your landscape. It’s an excellent time to plant some fall vegetation. If you are considering selling or your home is already on the market, it’s not too late to enhance the look and presentation of your property. The following are some of my top choices to light up your landscape and catch the attention of your potential purchasers: 1.).Most popular chrysanthemums 2.).Balloon flower (Chinese bellflower) 3.).Sweet alyssum 4.).Celosia 5.).Heliopsis 6.).Sedum 7.).Zig-zag goldenrod 8.).Beautyberry 9.).Heather 10.).Ice pansy 11.).Also, planting those spring bulbs now will provide a gorgeous flush of color next year.

Assuming you have the room, there are also fall vegetables that can be planted, (but should be done six weeks before any hard frost), like Brussel sprouts, cabbage, kohlrabi, lettuce, rad-

ishes, carrots rutabaga, spinach, and Swiss chard. This can set a very nice mood in and around your property. It won’t necessarily be an Arboretum but will provide points of interest to your landscape. Making your outside different and beautiful will provide that enhanced look that many buyers will be attracted to and just may help you attain a better price and sell quicker.

How to Organize a Closet in 5 Easy Steps

BY MARY HUNT What’s behind your closet door? Orderly rows of shoes, stacks of folded T-shirts and hanging clothes arranged by color and season? Or do you have a situation that could be declared a national disaster?

If the latter, you might ask the president for federal disaster relief funds -- or you could just get organized.

Here are simple steps to find calm in all that chaos. By the way, the same principles for organizing a clothes closet apply to linen or utility closets, too.

No. 1: Everything Out That’s right. Remove everything from the closet -- all of it. Every last hanger, belt and shoe. This lets you see exactly the space you have to work with.

No. 2: Deep Clean Now that you can see the light of day, give that closet a good cleaning from top to bottom. If, after thorough cleaning, the space still looks a little grungy, follow with a fresh coat of white paint.

No. 3: Separate Most people hate this step because it means getting rid of everything you do not use or wear. But what choice do you have now that you’ve hauled it out? There’s no way you could get all of this back into the closet, so buck up, and let’s get this job done.

LABEL THREE CONTAINERS Get three big boxes, plastic bins, garbage bags or other containers that will allow you to separate everything you took out of the closet.

KEEP The only items you put into this bin should be ones you have worn or used at least twice in the past year. Be brutally harsh.

If it doesn’t fit today, it’s not likely to fit any time soon. Get rid of it.

SELL OR DONATE Clothes and other items that are not right for you but still have a useful life for someone else should go into this bin.

What you consider ugly may

be perfect for someone else.

What no longer fits you will fit someone else. Take those items to a consignment store, or schedule a yard sale.

Consider donating your good used items to the Salvation Army or another thrift store.

Put all of these items in the garage or the back of the car, or get them out of the house in some other way.

THROW AWAY Clothes and shoes that are worn-out, hopelessly stained, broken or in some other state of calamity go into this bin. Work quickly to ease the pain. Empty this bin often to keep the process moving.

No. 4: Organize Divide the Keep bin by season, type and use. If possible, store out of season items in another place in your home. Next, separate your work or professional clothes from your casual attire. Now divide each pile into common wear and infrequent wear, arranging them so the items you wear most often are

the handiest.

No. 5: Equipment At the minimum, you need a sturdy shoe rack, good hangers and shelves, in addition to your standard hanging rod.

SHOE RACK You have lots of choices, but it all depends on the space you have to store shoes. If your closet just can’t handle shoes and clothes, you might want to consider storing your shoes in another area.

HANGERS I can tell you from experience that when you have matching hangers throughout your closet, you’ll be more prone to hanging up your clothes and keeping things organized.

Again, you have lots of choices.

SHELVES A good shelving system that optimizes the space in your closet will make all the difference when it comes to keeping your closet organized. Investing in a few good organizational pieces will make organizing your closet -- and keeping it organized

-- a snap!

In closing, let me assure you that it’s easy for me to tell you what to do. Just do it, right?

Truth be told, these steps are not as easy for me as I might have led you to believe in the title of this post. But I have done them, so I know just how cleansing the results can be, and I know the sense of peace that comes with a well-organized space. And it’s a routine I need to repeat at least twice a year to keep it that way.

Can you “dig it”?

The Garden City Varsity girls Volleyball team riding off the Tournament success continued their winning ways on Friday, October 19 against North Shore at home.

The Trojans swept North Shore in 3 straight sets 24-23, 25-18 and 25-18.

Rolling into Saturday 10-20-19, the Trojans traveled to Merrick to visit Calhoun on their “senior” day where the Colts honored their 6 senior teammates. Garden City proved they were “in it to win it” as they dominated the first 2 sets beating Calhoun with scores of 25-13 and 25-19. But

the Colts would not give up, taking the next 2 sets by the scores of 19-25 and 16-25. With what seemed like the wind was knocked out of their sails, the Trojans fought with all they had beating the Colts in the 5th and deciding set by the score of 25-15. Coach Dubon was happy with the girls with their recent play and mentioned to the team that they are still very much in the hunt for a playoff spot as the top FIVE teams (out of 7) in our A-2 division qualify for playoffs. The last game will be played on October 30 at Wantagh in a non-league game. at 4:30.

State Senator Anna M. Kaplan honored GCHS senior Zachary Ortiz with a proclamation On October 10, at the Hispanic Heritage Celebration held at the Port Washington Public Library, State Senator Anna M. Kaplan honored

GCHS senior Zachary Ortiz with a Proclamation recognizing “the critically important roles, and the incredibly positive influence Hispanic-Americans play both in their school and community.”

The proclamation acknowledged Zachary’s academic achievements including his membership in the National Honor Society and designation as a scholar by the CollegeBoard’s National Hispanic Recognition Program. It further recognized his extracurricular achievements including: serving as foil captain of the Varsity Fencing team; winning the 2019 Nassau County Men’s Fencing Individual Foil Championship and being named to the All-County and All Long Island teams; and his participation in the highly competitive Stony Brook University Biotechnology Summer Camp as well as his internship over the last two summers at the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research.

Varsity Field Hockey had a successful day of raising funds for Pink Day and was ready to face Cold Spring Harbor later that afternoon!

GC Varsity Field Hockey played rival CSH at home for the last league game of the season on October 18th.

Cold Spring Harbor came to GCHS on a windy October day for the Pink Day game. GC defense was ready for

the fast Cold Spring Harbor team and stopped their offense from entering the GC defense zone. GC defense passed swiftly to ready GC offense and they ran toward the Cold Spring Harbor defensive zone. Kylie Tierney scored the opening goal with an assist by Sarah Killcommons.

High School Varsity Football wins tough game against Mepham

Gardi lining up for the important field goal – it's good – 10-0 GC lead Touchdown from Liam O’Donohue!

Sullivan and Staub had big days for the defense This past Saturday presented the toughest challenge this season for the Trojans, but in the end, GC prevailed with a 24-7 victory over Mepham on the road.

The story of this game for the maroon and white was the outstanding play of the DEFENSE all day in stifling the Mepham first half ground attack and then limiting the second half passing schemes to no big plays all day.

Christian Sullivan led the way for the defense, particularly in the second half.

Sullivan racked up tackle after tackle and rumors in the stands were that he may have set a GC high record for single

game tackles (?). Another standout performance for the defense this week came from sophomore Brendan Staub. Staub was in on many big tackles throughout the first half and also played a key role by making both an interception on a screen pass and then recovering a fumble deep in the Mepham zone. Willy Blair, Brendan Smith, #77 Billy Kephart and Aidan Long all also came up with big stops for the GC D. The offense was definitely challenged for the first time this year over the course of the first half, however the team and coaches always find a way to bring a spark to the offense when

Get the news everyone’s reading about!

My arm is hurt? Says who… Willy Blair was big on the D Line most needed. GC was able to head into halftime at 10-0 after a sweet 26-yard TD pass from Holden Overbeck to Liam O’Donohue and then closed the scoring just before halftime with a field goal from Chase Gardi.

After receiving the second half kickoff, on the very first play, Ford Carney burst through a big hole created by Christian Holloway to take it 81 yards to the house for the TD. GC finished up their scoring with a TD pass from

Overbeck to Pierce Archer.

The undefeated Trojans take on the undefeated Macarthur Generals in the regular season game of the year tomorrow at 2 p.m. The team is looking for big crowd turnout and for everyoe to be “loud and proud” just like the awesome varsity cheerleading team employs the fanbase to be each week. See you at the high school tomorrow and Let’s Go Trojans!

Finn Doherty, James Sardelis and Carter Fecht huddle after a Doherty touchdown.

About to make the throw.

The Thunder 7s extended their winning streak to four games as they defeated the Mineola Chiefs 32-6 at Hampton Stadium this past Sunday. With the visitors’ stands packed with family and friends and the Second Grade Spirit Cheerleaders bringing their support on the road, the Thunder 7s earned a hard fought victory. Behind the strength of offensive linemen Peter Hamilton, Cash (Money) Coons, Charlie Mathers, Patrick Hegmann and Andrew

As impressive as the offensive performance was this past Sunday, the defense continued to stymie its opponents, letting up only one touchdown midway through the second half. The defense captured its fourth turnover of the season, a Landon Stoller fumble recovery early in the first half, that set-up a Thunder touchdown.

Adding to the defense’s strong showing, Matthew Scarantino, James Sardelis, Danny Hagopian, Luke Padala, Zach

Bruno, DylanVaillant, Finn Doherty and Dylan Ferrucci each scored a touchdown, while Hayes Kelleher picked up his first multi-touchdown performance of the season, including a 48-yard catch and run following a quarterback Landon Stoller pass early in the second half. Adding to the offensive explosion was a successful extra point conversion from Carter Fecht early in the first half, and key runs from JB Lattuca and Ryan Benn.

Argenziano and Phoenix Galli each collected crucial tackles to stifle the Chiefs’ offense, stopping Mineola on four fourth down attempts, as well as a successful stop on the Chiefs’ lone extra point attempt.

The Thunder 7s continue their season on the road next week as they travel to play the Franklin Square Warriors at Rath Park. Kick-off is at 9:00 a.m.

Everything You Want—and More OP EN H OUSE

Open House: Sunday, October 27th | 2:00 – 4:00pm 130 Rockaway Ave, Garden City, NY Located on a private lot greater than a half-acre, this spacious and airy 5-bedroom, 4.5-bath post-modern Colonial allows for ease and comfort for today’s living. Everyone can come together easily in the rooms that perfectly flow into one another or find solitude in the many choices available. The entrance is breathtaking, with its high ceiling and open-concept floorplan to the 2nd floor landing.

A large living room with fireplace is adjacent to an oversized formal dining room with a custom-designed hardwood floor. The ultramodern eat-in kitchen is equipped for both a casual week-night meal or a holiday dinner for loved ones. It flows into a huge den with fireplace that looks out onto the brick patio and sheltered deep yard. A special added feature is a 1st floor bedroom suite with full bath (radiant heat throughout) nicely situated apart from the main rooms. The 2nd floor with large open hallways boasts two Master Bedrooms with private full baths. The larger one has a spa tub that overlooks St. Paul’s Field, a steam shower and huge walk-in closet.

The other Master is at the opposite end of this floor, which could be convenient for guests’ or in-laws’ privacy. In-between there are two large bedrooms with deep closets and a shared hall bath with twin sinks. A fabulous laundry room on this floor will turn “wash day” into a cheerful chore. There is a walk-up staircase to a very large attic and the full basement is partially finished as a family room, with 3 egress windows. Features include gas heat, central air conditioning, surround sound, complete privacy yet convenience to St. Paul’s beautiful fields and access to St. Paul’s Crecent. Height, light and architectural details provide a warm rich atmosphere all year round. Too much to mention, an amenities list will be provided at the Open House. Do not miss this hidden gem. It is a special buying opportunity. Looking forward to seeing you at the open house or call for a private showing. You will be glad you did.
