Village opts out of allowing sale of cannabis products

BY RIKKI MASSAND

The Garden City Girls Swimming and Diving Team put up a strong performance at the County Championships on November 5th. See page 62.

Historical Society plans Holiday Village & Market for December 4th The Historical Society and the Garden City Senior Center are the destinations for an old fashioned holiday experience this year!

A festive Benefit Preview Cocktail Party December 3, from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Senior Center, will offer chic cocktails, hearty hors d’oeuvres and the first chance to shop the Holiday Market’s 18 luxe, local artisans and brands, bid

on valuable raffles and fantastically decorated trees created by talented local designers and businesses.

Santa arrives at The Holiday Village at The Historical Society on Saturday, December 4 from 11 a.m.–2 p.m. to hear wish lists and take pictures with children of all ages. He’ll be surrounded by a magical forest of miniature trees, decorated by Garden City’s chil-

dren. An antique train village will be on display and running around the tracks; a three dimensional toy from another century. The A.T. Stewart Exchange has antiques and collectibles gifts and holiday decor. Hot chocolate and cake will be served at the Victorian Christmas Café. Admission is free.

Admission is also free to See page 26

Following a brief but engaging public hearing the Garden City Board of Trustees voted to “opt out” of allowing the sale of cannabis products within the Village.

Under New York State law, municipalities can refuse to allow the sale of such products, although they will forego any sales taxes from cannabis sales. The possession and use of cannabis is still allowed throughout New York State since the law changed on March 31, 2021.

Garden City’s new law, entitled “Cannabis Prohibition” will be added into the Village Code following the trustees’ 7 to 0 vote.

(Trustee Louis Minuto was absent from the November 4 meeting.)

With Board’s approval of the new law, New York State will not be able to issue any licenses for any cannabis retail, adult-use or on-site consumption establishments to open within Village of Garden City boundaries.

The Village had a deadline of December 31, 2021 for opting-out, per state regulations, but under state law it may later change its mind and “opt-in.”

In opting-out the Village of Garden City will forfeit any part of the 4% sales tax revenue available to villages that participate in the New York State legalization of cannabis sales.

As explained at a prior meeting, within Garden City limits, if both the Village and the Town of Hempstead had permitted cannabis retail sales, then that percent of sales tax would be distributed between the Town of Hempstead and Village of Garden City, “as agreed upon by the Town of Hempstead and Garden City governing bodies.” That is no longer a potential revenue stream to the village.

After hearing from over a half-dozen residents Mayor Cosmo Veneziale suggested continuing the public hearing until at least the next Board of Trustees’ meeting, set for Thursday November 18. But two of his fellow board members -- Trustee John Delany, who has been staunchly in favor of the opt-out, and Trustee Mary Carter Flanagan -- expressed their interest in the vote taking place last Thursday immediately after the hearing. They noted how the issue was raised at a few prior board meetings, although during the November 4 public hearing the potential for a community-wide See page 25

A WORD FROM THE PUBLISHER

The Guide to Garden City

In this week’s issue we are happy to present our annual Guide to Garden City, a 96 page booklet containing information about the community, government, businesses and local organizations. We hope you enjoy it and if you have any suggestions for future items that should be included, please let us know.

Each year when we produce the guide, we do an expanded mailing of our newspaper so that it is delivered into all homes and businesses in town.

If you are not already a regular reader to our paper, we hope that you consider subscribing. (You can fill out and mail the coupon on this page, or go online to our web site, www.gcnews. com and subscribe there.)

Each week we endeavor to bring as

much news and information about the community as possible into people’s homes, but we can’t do it without you.

Much of the information in our pages is sent to us by residents who want to publicize things like their kids’ sports teams, or their community groups. We welcome all submissions, and if it is related to Garden City we usually publish it.

In addition, we have writers who cover village and school district meetings as well as other newsworthy events.

We are very fortunate to have great advertisers who subsidize the costs of running a newspaper, so make sure you let them know you appreciate it that they support this voice of the community.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Email: Editor@GCNews.com

Cruelty due to lack of empathy

To the Editor: I’ve been thinking a lot about how to respond to Katie Roland’s October 28th letter and to the situations that prompted it. Like Katie, I grew up in Garden City. My teachers were inspirational and I often say that I learned more (academically) in Sra. Pantin’s Spanish classes toward my initial degree in Romance Languages than I did at the prestigious college I attended.

Mr. DeFina lit in me a love for ancient history and Mrs. McCavitt inspired me to see the past as a series of intertwined stories about people. Anna Lea Smith (who wrote a powerful response to Katie’s letter) encouraged families to celebrate both our shared culture and our own traditions. Now in my 26th year of teaching, I think about them and so many others, every day, with gratitude.

However, I also experienced some quiet horrors growing up in the public schools of Garden City. A social studies teacher at the middle school once dropped a penny on the floor and told me to “Pick it up, you Jew.” In an attempt to be culturally sensitive, another teacher told the class “Emily is Jewish, so she knows a lot about the Holocaust. Why don’t you go ahead and teach the class about it so we can check the topic off.” This is apart from all the classmates who would bop me on the head to see if my thick hair (they called it a “‘fro”) protected me from being hurt. This is also apart from the math book thrown down the staircase onto my head by a football player who then shouted “Take that, you smarty!” or my pocketbook being emptied out and filled with flour while I was doing my Home Ec demonstration on how to make Kasha Varnishkes.

This was normal in the 80s. I was encouraged to smile and keep on going.

That’s just what I did, and I became a teacher who looks out for everyone. I believe that when there is cruelty (and there is), it is due to a lack of empathy. Empathy can be fostered through conversation, through role modeling, and through caring contact with peo-

ple who have had different experiences than you.

We all have memories of being left out, of being denied entry, of being hurt.

That’s part of humanity. The degree of marginalization or rejection may differ, and our stories may differ. But I have never met a person who spent every moment of their life feeling 100% included.

We also all have varying degrees of access. I’m a short, chubby female. This might have made me an easy target years ago, but now it is an asset. I do not look threatening. Children are comfortable with me. Nobody crosses to the other side of the street when I walk by.

I can’t say that about all of my friends.

I speak many languages (in part due to my Jewish culture), and that gives me access to intimate worlds that others might not have.

It’s crucial that we step outside of the politicized language and the emotionally charged words about theories most of us have not read. Instead, we need to look at one another and see what we share in common.

I have been on the outside. It has hurt. So have you.

I have been on the inside. It can be empowering. So have you.

How can we take our hurts and our power to help one another? And, above all, how can we take our collective hurts and our shared power to make a better, kinder, more connected world for our town today and for future generations everywhere?

Fall is here and the St. Joseph's Sponsor A Family Program for Thanksgiving needs your support. As the COVID pandemic continues, the program has changed. Fortunately, last year's virtual drive involving the collection of Stop and Shop gift cards was very successful. So, the program is continuing on that path for Thanksgiving 2021. The goal remains the same: to provide assistance to neighbors at Our Lady of Loretto in Hempstead and Queen of the Most Holy Rosary in Roosevelt who are faced with food insecurities. Sponsor a Family will evenly disperse your gift card donations to each parish and they will distribute the cards to their families on a “need be” basis.

If you would like to participate, please email Eileen Hoey at eileenbhoey@gmail. com and let her know what size family you would like to sponsor. Suggested dollar amounts for S & S gift cards will be provided to you based on the family size you select. You will also receive detailed instructions for mailing OR delivering your gift cards to the Parish Social Ministry Office on Fifth Street. The delivery deadline Is November 15. If you have any questions prior to signing up, please contact Pat DiMattia at dimattiared@aol. com. Thanks to all of you in advance, especially to the faithful sponsors who support this program every year.

ATTENTION STUDENTS! We invite you to send details of your academic achievements, along with your name and contact info, to editor@gcnews.com for a chance to be featured in our paper!

Submissions from students of all ages are welcome!

EAB continues discussion of gas-powered leaf blowers Residents are encouraged to attend the Environmental Advisory Board’s next meeting on November 17 at 8 p.m. at Village Hall to share their valuable community input on the topic of regulating gas-powered leaf blowers (“GPLBs”). Momentum is growing as communities across the country enact laws to address this issue, and over the last two weeks the movement has made headlines with recent coverage by the Wall Street Journal, Newsday and the New York Times.

The Village of Sea Cliff is the latest Long Island community to take action, announcing last week that they passed a new leaf blower law that prohibits GPLBs during the summer months of June through September. The law also

places some restrictions on the hours leaf blowers may be used year-round by residents and landscapers. The Village of Sea Cliff explained that the law was passed in response to “resident’s concerns about peace and quiet, as well as potential environmental impacts of leaf blowers.”

Residents who are unable to attend the EAB meeting on November 17 are asked to email their input to the EAB at mcarterflanagan@gardencityny.net. At Wednesday’s meeting, additional input will be heard from the community, and the members of the EAB will discuss whether a recommendation should be made to the Board of Trustees to pass a leaf blower law.

Garden City’s Got Talent Garden City High School is excited to present its Performing Arts Showcase, Garden City’s Got Talent. Nov. 18 will feature a senior citizen preview at 4 p.m., and the official showcase will be held on Nov. 19 at 7 p.m. Both presenta-

tions will take place in the high school’s Inez Spiers Auditorium. Tickets are $10 for general admissions and $8 for students and senior citizens. The order form is available at www.gardencity. k12.ny.us under Important News.

Business owner goes from construction to Greek cuisine

BY GARY SIMEONE Twenty-nine-year-old George Charalambous - Miras was inspired by his grandfather to quit his construction job and enter the world of culinary arts.

In early 2020, before Covid-19 took hold, he leased the empty storefront at 263 Nassau Blvd, with the dream of opening up his own restaurant business.

“It was his late grandfather, George Miras, who really inspired my son to open his own Greek restaurant,” said Patricia Charalambous, George’s mom.

“As a young boy he always looked up to my dad, who had the only Greek Bakaliko in Hempstead.”

As fate would have it, Patricia was driving down Nassau Blvd early last year, when she saw the empty store space sitting out there like a sore thumb.

“I am a real estate agent for a firm here in the Village, and I am always on the lookout for new properties. I happened to be driving by last winter, and saw this empty space, and thought it would be a great location for my son to open his first business.”

The new location is called the Greek

City Grill and it serves up authentic and delicious Greek cuisine like chicken and pork souvlaki, homemade cheese and spinach pies and delectable desserts and pastries like Baklava and Galaktoboureko, a semolina custard in phyllo dough.

“Everything is made fresh here on the premises with no precooked items or meals. That is what made my dad’s business so special and now my son has taken over that role,” said Charalambous, who helps her son with the baking and cooking duties.

“My son’s pride and joy is displayed through his authentic Greek foods and he believes that he can bring happiness to others with the authenticity and deliciousness of the foods served.”

Charalambous said that her son started out Carey High School and ended up graduating from New Hyde Park Memorial Business Academy, where he developed his skills.

Both George and his mother are residents of Garden City.

To find out more about the Greek City Grill and the foods they have to offer, you can visit their website, www. greekcitygrillny.com.

As previously announced in this paper and discussed at meetings of the Property Owners’ Association of Garden City Estates (“Estates POA”), the Nominating Committee of the Estates POA has been seeking residents of Garden City Estates who are interested in running for election as the Estates’ representatives on the Village Board of Trustees or the Board of Education for the following terms: Village Board Trustee to serve a two-year term commencing April 2022; Board of Education Trustee to serve a three-year term commencing July 2022.

The deadline for receipt of such applications was November 7, 2021.

The Estates POA will be hosting a Town Hall on Wednesday, November 17 at 7:30 p.m. at the Garden City Senior Center, 6 Golf Club Ln. All Estates residents are invited to

meet the potential candidates and provide their input. The candidates will be asked to present themselves to Estates residents and outline their qualifications and desires to serve as a Village or School Board trustee.

Tune up for Turkey Trot with “Runner in Red”

Tom Murphy, author of “Runner in Red,” (left) and Jim McCartney, owner of Prost, invite you to “tune up” for the GC Turkey Trot at a “Runner in Red” fundraiser at Prost on Nov 23 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. to support a cure for lung cancer. See full details at RunnerinRed.com.

What better way to prep for the turkey trot than with a page-turning running story based on a Boston Marathon legend – and a free pint of “Barb’s Beer?”

Tuesday, November 23, two days before Thanksgiving and the GC Turkey Trot, Prost will host a a “Runner in Red” fundraiser to support a cure for lung cancer from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Buy copy of the Boston Marathon mystery novel, “Runner in Red,” by GC author Tom Murphy, and get a free Barb’s Beer. Proceeds from the book and the beer go to the Barb’s Beer Foundation, a 501c3 charity, that supports a cure for lung cancer.

The Murphy family created in the foundation in memory of Barb Murphy, Tom’s wife, who passed away from non-smoker’s lung cancer in 2013. Barb was an avid Turkey Trot runner and won her age division twice.

“Runner in Red” is a love story, page-turning mystery and Irish family drama based on a real-life Boston Marathon legend about the first woman to run a marathon in America.

In 1951, when rules precluded women from running, a group of Canadian runners insisted they saw a woman “wearing red” sneak

into the Boston Marathon, fifteen years before history recorded the first woman runner. The Canadians tried to bring the matter to the attention of officials but no one believed them. Thus their contention was never proven – and the episode became part of Boston Marathon lore, known as “The Legend of the Runner in Red.” Tom Murphy, who also penned the novel, “The Anniversary Box – A Love Story,” to raise funds to support the Barb’s Beer Foundation will sign books. Tom is the founder of the Human Resiliency Institute at Fordham University, which engages students to get involved in the cure lung cancer campaign around “Runner in Red” and “The Anniversary Box.” The Garden City Turkey Trot is one of Long Island’s premier races – what better way to tune up that with friends, a running novel and a charity beer.

November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month. Join us Tuesday, November 23 at Prost, as we strive to create awareness for this disease which takes the lives of more women than any other cancer.

Full details on the novel, the cause and Barb’s Beer can be found at RunnerinRed.com.

leaf pick up each day. One crew works First street to Third Street, the second works Fourth to Sixth, and the third works back from Old Country Road down to Ninth Street. Crew number four does the short streets, dead ends, commercial areas and Franklin Court. When a crew finishes their section, they revert back to the starting point and repeat the process over again. Residents are asked to observe the following guidelines: • Place only leaves in the street.

Other items such as sticks and old plant material may damage machinery and slow down operation.

• Do not place leaves on medians and malls as this will kill or damage the grass. For reasons of safety, our streets are cleaned of leaves on a more frequent schedule than are the medians.

• Avoid parking cars over leaves as this slows our operation considerably and is also a fire hazard. Cars can be damaged or destroyed by fire as a result of their being parked on dry leaves.

• Please do not obscure fire hydrants by piling leaves around them.

• Landscapers CAN place leaves in the street from properties worked on up until the time the Village stops collecting leaves, which is usually early December.

• Contractors cannot dump leaves from their trucks in the street.

referendum on the Opt-Out was brought up by a resident.

Trustee Delany noted that since October 21, information had been posted on the village website about the proposed Local Law and November 4 Village Board public hearing, including details from NYCOM (New York Conference of Mayors) General Counsel Wade Beltramo, “New York’s Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act: The Legalization of Adult Use Cannabis in New York.”

The village’s new Local Law is still subject to a permissive referendum (community vote). During the November 4 meting, Village Attorney Peter Bee addressed how a referendum could be mandated, and he explained the Board’s process of a vote setting a timeline into effect: “If a petition were put together by a village resident for the Local Law to be subject to a permissive referendum, with the petition properly filed and with the proper number of resident signatures, then the matter would be put out to a vote by the public. It is subject to a permissive referendum under Section 24 of the General Municipal Home Rule Law, and that section in turn refers you to Article IX of the Village law which allows for within 10 days of the adoption of any resolution approved by the Board which is subject to a permissive referendum, the Village Clerk must publish an abstract of the resolution and a concise statement of its purpose, and that it is subject to a permissive referendum.

The permissive referendum would be necessitated with a petition gaining 20% as a minimum percentage of registered voters’ signatures as of the last Village election, within 30 days,” Bee said.

He also informed the trustees that the Local Law had a deadline of December 31, 2021 to be enacted, but the referendum and its outcome would not be on a timeline limited to December 31, and the result of a referendum (if one does take place) would not impact the status of Garden City enacting the local law in time for it to be on state record and in effect for early 2022.

The first public comments at the public hearing came from Charles Kelly of Kilburn Road, who explained his perspective as a federal prosecutor having dealt with illegal drug sales out of Long Island convenience stores. He noted synthetic cannabis and K2/Spice which is a mixture of plant material sprayed with synthetic psychoactive chemicals, and could lead to serious health and safety effects. Kelly said he supported the addition of Chapter 78 being part of Village Code.

“It’s often packaged with cartoon characters including the Seven Dwarfs, Joker, and more. There were attractive and catchy titles that made them more directed towards underage purchases. I

find a lot of pot sales going on with packaging of gummies and other items to be reminiscent of those prosecutions...It is a short walk from marijuana to putting a spray on it and making it, if not deadly, certainly a chemical that can cause serious illness. In connection with the sales out of one convenience store we had a lot of young people taken to the ER. I think it’s a short walk from selling marijuana out of a store to spraying and spicing it up to sell the illegal drugs and it puts a significant burden on law enforcement to shut something like that down. It typically resulted in undercover buys to get a search warrant and then time is taken to execute the search warrant, which represents a significant burden to law enforcement and significant cost for the village,” Kelly said.

Resident suggests referendum

Another in-person comment during the public hearing was delivered by recent Garden City High School graduate and current collegian Trent Biscone.

He told the Board of Trustees he is very concerned about the Board’s decision to opt out of cannabis sales, and he does not believe this opt-out should occur without a community referendum.

Biscone reminded the Board and Mayor Veneziale that consumption of cannabis is and will be legal statewide and “no opt-out move can change that, as all it would do is limit business opportunities for entrepreneurs in the village.”

“No matter what it would still be legal for someone to light up a joint outside of Village Hall, and Garden City will be missing out on a 3 to 4% sales tax on all cannabis products that could be sold in the village. The revenues could potentially be used to reduce real estate taxes for residents. A study published in Regional Science & Urban Economics found that when cannabis dispensaries opened in Colorado the crime rates declined at a 19% faster rate than in surrounding neighborhoods without dispensaries. Very likely it was the result of diminishing the illegal market and replacing it with a legal one,” he commented.

Biscone declared “I think the Board of Trustees should not be making kneejerk decisions like this without reaching out to the residents first and gauging public opinion. I think it will be illogical, hypocritical and pointless for the Village to opt out of cannabis sales; the only reason someone would be opposed to it is because they personally do not like it. I do not like alcohol and I do not like being around people who are so intoxicated that they become aggressive or physically ill, but I am not demanding that bars or liquor stores in the village be eliminated as I simply choose to stay away from them. I do not like cigarettes or the odors they produce but I am not going out of my way to prevent anyone from purchasing or smoking them, or

starting a business selling them.”

Just a few years ago, while a Garden City High School upperclassman, Trent Biscone said he served as a high school ambassador for the Central Property Owners’ Association. Trent also became a volunteer firefighter with the GCFD in early 2019.

Biscone pointed out a few statements made by Village Board members at previous meetings, such as what he referred to as a “baseless claim” that people could use cannabis from a local dispensary/store and walk into traffic.

Biscone told the Board there’s a greater risk of a person impaired by alcohol creating this kind of scenario.

“A study from University of Minnesota researchers, published in Traffic Injury Prevention, a bimonthly peer-reviewed academic journal, found that cannabis’ legalization did not lead to an increase in motor vehicle crashes OR pedestrian-involved motor vehicle crashes, and this study was based on data accumulated from 1991 through 2018,” he said.

Biscone continued, “I have a lot of respect for all Village of Garden City officials, paid and volunteer, but I respectfully disagree with comments by one official (on October 21) saying he did not care about potential for an increase in the tax revenue from cannabis sales, because he is more concerned with the quality of life -- however there is no evidence supporting the claim that any cannabis businesses would reduce the quality of life in the village. Using other state’s adult-use cannabis dispensaries and New York State medical cannabis dispensaries as a precedent, these are not low-end run-down head shops. The dispensaries are beautifully-decorated, heavily-secured and well-maintained and often compared to art galleries.”

Comments from Zoom participants

Residents tuning into the Village Board’s November 4 meeting via Zoom offered contrasting views on the potential for cannabusinesses to locate in Garden City. Beth Bennett commented about the indirect comparison of alcohol and cannabis as Biscone alluded to, as she said there are much more substantial studies involving alcohol use and its impacts than for cannabis: “We do not really know what we are getting into with this -- for our village’s purposes I would say, ‘Opt Out.” Bennett compared the atmosphere of a neighborhood her sister lives in, in which a cannabis dispensary opened, and how there seemed to be drug dealers then coming into the area to scope the clientele.

Anne Griffin of Garden Street said while she has no problem with the legalization of cannabis in the state, “there is a time and a place for its sale and use as it’s a personal decision for an adult.”

Her major concern for Garden City, should cannabusinesses come into the

community, is the impacts that could have on the heavily family-oriented village. She asked the Board to discuss at length the locations of communities surrounding Garden City, and the distances those would involve, where cannabis businesses including its sale in store settings has been “green lighted.”

Griffin would like to know more details about the potential Garden City would have to be a draw if such a dispensary opened here.

“Who would be coming in from outside of our community? I am not naive enough to think that people in our community will not be going out to buy it, but that’s not the main concern. I am thinking of how this could change our very family-oriented village. Who would be coming in and out of the village and who around Garden City will have stores selling cannabis legally? If not a lot of villages or towns are having legal sales that can result in a lot of people coming here, some would be adults and some potentially a younger crowd. It just seems to me that it would be a no-brainer to wait (for opting in) to see what would happen in other nearby communities,” she said.

Griffin noted Trustee John Delany’s point of the opportunity for the Village of Garden City to opt-out expiring at the end of this year, and she told the Board “it would be a totally different discussion if we had to make the decision, and would not have the opportunity to opt-in later.”

“If there’s still more information to gather, and I can’t imagine there would not be, why don’t we hold up and see what happens to similar communities, see how it’s affecting them, and then as a community of decide that (allowing cannabusinesses) is a good choice for us then we can opt-in,” she commented.

Laurence Galli, a resident of 2nd Street, also addressed the Board of Trustees at the public hearing. He commented on the potential benefits of cannabis to assist in health and combatting fatigue, adding that he’s acquainted with “several upstanding members” of the Garden City community who frequently use cannabis. He noted that as cannabis is legalized, members of the community will “get cannabis no matter where it is, and they could even grow it in their gardens at home.” Part of the issues he wants the village to consider involve helping residents better understand cannabis’ purposes, especially if it can be taken as a pill and regulated for medicinal treatment, instead of taken in forms of “joints or gummies.”

“Education around cannabis has to be at the forefront, whether it’s at the local level, state level or national level.

I believe information on cannabis has been skewed to the negative side, for probably 50 years or more. Cannabis can not only be used as medicine but See page 26

it can be used as building material and fabric for clothing, it can be used as food too, and there’s so many other applications associated with cannabis and its legalization in the state that perhaps we have not been considering. As a community we will want to be on the forefront of that….I would agree with Anne Griffin that we should not be opting-in right away, and we should get all the facts and learn what New York State has in store -- but as one of the leading communities on Long Island I do not believe we should unanimously Opt Out without having all of the facts. I am not opposed to the village opting out for now but the key is the receipt of more education. As legalization progresses I think you may find that not only is cannabis not bad for you, but it may even be good for you,” he said.

Galli also publicly offered his time to help education efforts on cannabis in

Garden City, “and to help explain how it can help everyone.” He believes the village could be a source of information for cannabis’ “benefits, harms and everything else.”

Commenting over Zoom, Bob Orosz told the Board of Trustees the FDA has not approved the marketing adaptation of cannabis for any medical treatments of diseases or conditions, nor has it approved many of the cannabis products currently on the market.

“A 2018 study in Colorado, which has had legalized cannabis since 2013, showed that emergency room visits related to cannabis’ use increased 52% and hospitalization increased 148% while traffic-related deaths increased 151% since legalization of cannabis.

This is only a prelude to what our communities in New York State would experience with the passage of this ill-advised, potentially deadly legalization of cannabis. It is my hope that the Board of Trustees will vote for the village to opt-

out, and to not license the sales of cannabis in our village, for the gain in tax revenues will not outweigh the potential for harm to residents of our village

-- I know we can’t stop it but maybe we can at least slow it down and be on the right side of this,” Orosz explained.

Best selling author Alice Hoffman to speak at Adelphi New York Times bestselling author Alice Hoffman will discuss her new novel, “The Book of Magic,” the final chapter of the “Practical Magic” series, at Adelphi University on Wednesday, November 17.

The online event, part of the University’s “Great Books, Great Conversations” series, will be hosted by Jacqueline Jones LaMon, professor and vice president of diversity, equity and inclusion at Adelphi, and Sybile Val,

MD, a 1999 Adelphi graduate.

Hoffman, a 1973 graduate and 2002 honorary doctorate recipient of Adelphi, lives near Boston and is the author of more than 30 works of fiction, including “The World That We Knew,” “The Marriage of Opposites,” “The Red Garden,” “The Museum of Extraordinary Things,” “The Dovekeepers," “Here on Earth” (Oprah’s Book Club selection) along with the series, “Practical Magic,” “Magic Lessons,” “The Rules of Magic”

(a selection of Reese’s Book Club) and “The Book of Magic."

Released in October 2021, “The Book of Magic” concludes the story of the Owens family, who has been cursed in matters of love for more than 300 years -though all of that is about to change. The novel begins in a library, when beloved aunt Jet Owens hears the deathwatch beetle and knows she has only seven days to live. Jet is not the only one in danger-the curse is already

at work. A frantic attempt to save a young man’s life spurs three generations of the Owens women and one longlost brother to use their unusual gifts to break the curse as they travel from Paris to London to the English countryside where their ancestor Maria Owens first practiced the “unnamed art.” See more about “The Book of Magic.”

THE MAYOR’S UPDATE

Friday, November 12, 2021 The Garden City News

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Email: Editor@GCNews.com From page 2 November 5th GCNews --a superb review and outlook for the St Paul’s main building. In a nutshell he sees no salvation for the structure and calls for demolition.

His discussion is complete and persuasive re the nearly 30 year GC Village ownership of the building. I believe he is right on. His article is a great history as the Mayor’s St Paul’s Committee begins its deliberations-which should ultimately lead to a Village-wide referendum.

(The article can be found on page 20 of last week’s edition.)

George M. Salem

Thoughtful essay

To the Editor: I write to compliment John Ellis Kordes on his outstanding and thoughtful essay on the future of St. Paul’s. He delineates very clearly how his thinking on the viability of the building has evolved from being an avid supporter of its survival, who devoted much of his time and efforts into making it somehow work, to having the epiphany that this square peg just does not fit into that round hole.

Over the years I have heard that the building must be preserved because it is part of the DNA of the Village. The children whom Mr. Kordes saw playing on the fields are part of that DNA, not the decrepit building that looms forbiddingly over what should be the centerpiece of the Village. In one conversation, after expressing my opinion that after some twenty-eight years it is time to move on, I was asked whether I would be willing to tear down the Colosseum or the Pyramids. How do you respond to that?

I think that Mr. Kordes did perfectly.

The plain fact is that after all these years no viable plan for the public use of this building, along with a realistic cost of such a plan, has been produced. We continue to throw good money after bad just keeping the building on life support until it collapses of its own weight. Does this make any sense at all? There is an opportunity here. Remove the building, but preserve the clock tower and let it become the centerpiece of the Village surrounded by parklike area containing historical information about St. Paul’s.

At the same time additional open space would be available for fields and other leisure activities.

Kudos to Mr. Kordes for sharing the courage of his convictions.

Walter Horn

Outstanding article

To the Editor: The full page article in last week’s (11/5/21) called “The Kordes Corner” by John Ellis Kordes about St. Paul’s was outstanding. As Village historian, John Kordes skillfully outlined the history of St. Paul’s from the many lost oppor-

tunities, such as assisted living, to the present ugly decomposing money pit.

Mr. Kordes is to be complemented for recounting painful memories and working assignments and tours he gave and how he believed the building could be saved. After recently walking around it, he says he had an epiphany and realized that the building no longer had a future.

A couple of quotes from his article summarizes how great he is: “Thirty years is a long time and opportunity to give the building a future have come and gone.”

With regard to people who want raise taxes for a 100 million dollar replacement, he says “They are so naïve that they are dangerous”.

John further stated that “I also know that no one wanted this building saved more than me…considering the last 30 years, I now feel we owe it to the future to remove the building.” “Hopefully future generations will not have the spectacle of a decomposing building behind a hideous fence when they arrive there. It’s time to pull the plug-despite how much it breaks our hearts.”

Great article John!

John Pittoni

Life with vax

To the Editor: Big Pharma and Science/Politics are trying to persuade everybody that life with voluntary vax belongs to the past.

In a recent article of Newsday it was stated that Covid-19 will most likely become the flu. Another shot, another booster and so on!

Presently available vaccines have not been tested to their fullest extent.

Side effects constantly pop up and will be ridiculed by science and politicians. Especially risky is the life of our younger folks not knowing what effects the vaccines will have in their bodies in the years to come. In particular, young girls who plan to become mothers in their later life may face all kinds of ovary conflicts.

Does anybody know what your body does with the vaccine? Why don’t you look in a crystal ball!

Advice to our current administration: Stop fearmongering and mandating vaccine for everybody! You are overstepping your authority!

H. Mayer Editor’s Note: The opinions expressed

by Mr. Meyer do not reflect the views of the Garden City News. We urge everyone to be vaccinated. If you have any concerns about the vaccine, please speak with your physician. Don’t take medical advice from Facebook, Twitter, Letters to the Editor or your cousin’s best friend’s sister, who says she “did her research”.

Secure the borders

To the Editor: I recently read a wonderful article

about how we should conduct our lives.

When I read this I was especially concerned about the love, compassion, and welcome, we as concerned citizens should give to the refugees from Afghanistan , and Central America, and support Haiti.

Our anger has been mistakenly directed against those who are seeking a better life and risking everything, especially their own and their children’s lives, to find a better life.

But let us look behind these situations and see just why such circumstances developed in the first place.

Our politicians have found a unique way to perpetuate their existence and keep being elected via openly waving a flag showing that our borders are open.

They are literally attempting to buy the vote of the immigrants. It was their crafty changes in policy that made all this possible, creating situations that they do not and will not attempt to rectify.

Our own politicians are now using our own laws, against us, for their own benefit.

The solution is simple, every one of them who has made no attempt to secure our borders, who have voted to fund any stipends for immigrants and voted for the huge Infrastructure Bill (so called, which supposedly grants them voting rights), must be voted out of office.

It’s no longer politics, It’s our nation’s survival.

Frederick G. Garttner

More debt from Congress

To the Editor: Just want to keep everyone informed that your representative, Kathleen Rice, voted to put us further in debt with the non-infrastructure infrastructure bill the other night. The big monster bill is coming up in a week or so, let’s see what she does with that. I guess her constituents don’t matter. We do not want any more debt which surely will lead to higher taxes.

Richard F. Hay

True meeting of Christmas

To the Editor: The true meaning of Christmas is mostly ignored in society. As we approach Christmas this year, we will see endless news stories about “Black Friday” sales, “Christmas-themed” movies that rarely display a nativity scene, and appalling legal challenges to Nativity displays by anti-Christian groups.

The words, “Merry Christmas,” have been banned at schools, businesses, department stores, etc. Instead, we repeatedly hear, “Happy Holidays,” intended to encompass all the politically-correct bromides of the season. It seems that we don’t want to offend any one’s feelings, with the exception, of

course, of those of Jesus Christ and His Blessed Mother.

Therefore, in response to the secularization of Christmas, we St. JosephBishop Baldwin Knights of Columbus have decided to take a step to proclaim publicly the true meaning of Christmas – the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, Our Savior, the Light of the World.

On Friday, December 3, 2021, we will place our 3rd Annual Keep Christ in Christmas Message in the Garden City News. This two-page, pull-out, poster-size message will feature a list of the names of parishioners and Garden City residents who embrace and cherish the true meaning of Christmas.

To add your name to our growing list of participants, we are asking for a small donation of $20 per name. All donations are tax deductible. Checks are payable to: Knights of Columbus Council #15809.

Mail to: Art O’Brien, 7 Bluebell Court, Garden City, NY 11530. Please reply to us as soon as possible. Our deadline to receive both your name and donation is next Friday, November 19.

Thank you and God bless you.

Patronize local restaurants

To the Editor: In these difficult economic times, it is especially important to patronize your local neighborhood restaurant not only during “Long Island Restaurant Week” November 7th to 14th, but all year round. There are so many great restaurants in Garden City, Hicksville, Jericho, Mid-Island, Syosset and other nearby communities in Nassau County.

My wife and I don’t mind occasionally paying a little more to help our local restaurants survive. Don’t forget your cook and server. We try to tip 20 percent against the total bill including taxes. If it is an odd amount, we round up to the next dollar. If we can afford to eat out, we can afford an extra dollar tip. When ordering take out, we always leave a dollar or two for the waiter or cook. It is appreciated.

Remember these people are our neighbors. Our local entrepreneurs have continued to create new employment opportunities without the assistance of federally-funded taxpayers’ stimulus dollars. They work long hours, pay taxes and provide local employment. If we don’t patronize our local restaurants to shop and eat, they don’t eat either.

Please join me and your neighbors in continuing to support the Garden City News and affiliated Litmore publications. Patronize their restaurant advertisers; they provide the necessary revenues to help keep them in business. Let them know you saw their ad.

Adelphi symphony to Cathedral to host present evening of music pipe organ demonstration

Adelphi University’s Symphony Orchestra returns to the stage for the first time since fall 2019, with an evening of classical music on Saturday, November 20. The event will begin at 8 p.m. in the Concert Hall of Adelphi's Performing Arts Center (PAC).

The concert features Saint-Saens' Carnival of the Animals, Mozart's Symphony No. 29 in A Major, K. 201, and Albinoni's Sonata in D Major for trumpet and strings, performed by Adelphi students, alumni, faculty and staff. The orchestra is under the expert leadership of conductor and music director Stefano Miceli, adjunct faculty member at Adelphi.

This event will also be live streamed for those unable to attend in person.

Tickets are $25 with discounts available to seniors, alumni, employees and students. The livestream is $15. For tickets, visit adelphi.edu/adelphi-symphony-orchestra.

Adelphi PAC's priority is to ensure the safety of patrons, artists, staff and the entire Adelphi community against COVID-19. All audience members age 12 and over are required to show proof of full vaccination against COVID-19.

Anyone under 12 or who is not fully vaccinated must show proof of a negative test taken within 72 hours of the performance. All guests regardless of age or vaccination status will be required to wear masks while inside the Adelphi PAC.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the Food Drive for the INN.

BY MELISSA JAEGER Before I get into the heart of this week’s article, I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you who contributed to our October Food Drive for The INN. It was a big success! We gathered 13 bags of nonperishables, totaling 137 pounds!!

With the holidays upon us, we must be mindful that there are many who can use a helping hand. Thank you!

With Thanksgiving rapidly approaching, I thought it was time to talk turkey! There are several theories about how turkeys got their name. One story says that Christopher Columbus heard some birds make a “tuka tuka” sound and the interpreter came up with the name “tukki,” which means “big bird” in Hebrew. Did you ever wonder what they call that thing under the turkey’s beak? It’s called a wattle. And when the male turkey (a tom) gets excited during mating season, it turns bright red. The thing hanging over the beak is called a snood. It, too, turns bright red when the turkey is excited. Only the male can make the gobble sound. It is a mating call to attract hens (the female). Wild turkeys CAN fly, but choose to walk or run. And domestic turkeys fly only to get to higher ground for safety. Good thing, too, because the average American will consume 15 pounds of turkey this year.

There’s still time to purchase items for your fall or Thanksgiving décor.

We have many items to make your occasion special. All are welcome to come in and browse the Exchange.

However, if you are not vaccinated,

please wear a mask. Even though all the volunteers have been vaccinated, you will see that most of us continue to wear our masks, out of an abundance of caution. We offer hand-sanitizer when you enter the shop, and, to keep you feeling safe, we are running the air purifier which cleans the air in the Shop every hour.

We get newly consigned merchandise almost every day! And, we sell new merchandise – especially gift items – purchased through the NY Gift Show. Therefore, I prefer to think of our shop as a Gift and Resale Shop. If you can’t make it in right away, please shop online at www.atstewartexchange.org and come to the Exchange to pick up. We also post photos on the AT Stewart Exchange Facebook and Instagram pages, as well as the TGCHS website (www.tgchs.org).

Unfamiliar with the Exchange Consignment Shop? We are housed in The Garden City Historical Society (TGCHS) Museum on 109 Eleventh Street (in the basement of the building). All the proceeds from the Shop sales directly benefit TGCHS. In addition to our best sellers – jewelry (costume and fine), lamps, mirrors, and crystal (Waterford, Baccarat, Tiffany) -- we take/accept silver, pocketbooks, china, furniture, artwork, and collectibles. All items are in new or nearly new condition.

With the virus, we have had to take measures to safeguard our customers, consignors, and volunteers.

We now do consignments by appointment only which helps to keep down the numbers of people in the Shop at any point in time and reduces waittimes to consign. Consignments are now done Wednesday through Friday 11:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m. by appointment ONLY, so please call (516) 746-8900.

Unsure if your items are appropriate to consign? Email photos to store@ atstewartexchange.org and be sure to include sizing info. Please be sure items are cleaned and polished, ready for sale.

All the profits from the Consignment Shop support the maintenance and upkeep of TGCHS Museum. Thanks to your generous support, work on the outside of the Museum continues.

The Shop is located at 109 Eleventh Street.

Shop Hours: Tues, Thu, Fri: 10:00–4:00 p.m., Wed: 10:00–6:00 p.m., Sat: Noon–4:00 p.m.

Help Support the Alford Family’s Thanksgiving Day Project

The Mineola-Garden City Rotary is encouraging assistance for the Alford family’s annual Thanksgiving Day project, supported by our Club for the past several years.

This will be the 26th year the Alford family has organized and coordinated this program that brings Thanksgiving meals into the homes of so many folks in need.

For the project’s first 5 years, it was executed through J.B.’s Pub, a Mineola restaurant owned by the Alfords. But for the past 21 years, the program has been run at their home here in Garden City. Herewith is their appeal: “For the 26th year, our family is in the process of coordinating a Thanksgiving delivery program in which we provide the fixings for 30 local families to prepare their own holiday meal. We also deliver 200 fully prepared hot dinners to homebound senior citizens on Thanksgiving Day. Due to the Coronavirus, we need to restructure how this is accomplished to make sure everyone involved is safe.

We will appreciate donations of Stove Top Turkey Stuffing Mix, Jiffy Muffin

Mix (any flavor), canned corn, green beans and peas; also packaged deserts, large plastic bottles of fruit juice or tea; small individual size cans of V-8. We kindly ask: NO glass bottles, NO water, NO juice boxes and NO soda, WE are in need of large bottles for the families and individual bottles and cans to accompany the hot meals. Donations may be dropped off at our home at 35 Maxwell Road, Garden City. Please call us to arrange a convenient drop off time.

Unfortunately, we will NOT be able to accept any homemade deserts of baked goods. Instead, we will purchase individually wrapped baked goods and will purchase the turkey cooked and sliced for us from a local market.

We will provide everything needed to make complete meals and would also appreciate any financial donations to cover costs.

We know that this year many more folks are in need than ever. So please, consider helping this wonderful and meaningful project in any way you can.

Your donations of food, money and time have truly made this project a success over these 26 years.

Please contact us with any questions at 516-746-8331. We sincerely thank you for your continued support each and every year.”

John and Melinda Alford

Mineola-Garden City Rotary is on Board

The Alford family’s Thanksgiving Day project has been one of the many services the Mineola-Garden City Rotary Club has supported throughout the years. In 2005, our Club had honored Melinda and John and the Alford family with its coveted “Community Service Award.”

In this year of continued need, our Club joins with the many individuals and organizations whose contributions will help to make Thanksgiving 2021 its typical tremendous success.

Mayfair Avenue is located off First Street just to the west of Rockaway Avenue. It extends south to Hempstead Turnpike through West Hempstead.

It is one of only a few streets not named by Garden City. It is a street from the late 19th Century that “poked” its way into Garden City from West Hempstead.

As one turns onto Mayfair Avenue from First Street it quickly widens as one enters West Hempstead. It is that location, just south of the Garden City border in 1903 that the St. Giles home for crippled children was located on a four acre site. During the first half of the 20th Century polio caused so much devastation to children until a vaccine came along in the 1950s. By 1973, St. Giles sold off their property and houses were built there.

Interestingly, West Hempstead attempted to change their name about 20 years ago. The proposal failed but their name would have become “Mayfair, NY.”

In lieu of holding a large 60th anniversary class reunion, Garden City High School Class of 1961 held a smaller gathering in Jamesport on October 2.

Garden City High School senior Jenny Zheng has been selected to the National Association for Music Education’s All-National Concert Band as a piccolo performer. This prestigious recognition is presented to some of the nation’s most talented high school musicians and provides them with an opportunity to work with highly regarded conductors.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s All-National Honor Ensembles program will be held virtually in January. Conductor Travis Cross will lead the Concert Band in several rehearsals, and the ensemble will create a recorded performance that will be premiered during Music In our Schools Month. All-National students will also have opportunities to attend clinics and workshops with esteemed musicians.

Earlier this school year, Jenny received two letters of acceptance for the New York State School Music Association’s All-State ensembles.

She will play the piccolo in the AllState Symphonic Orchestra and was selected as an alternate flutist. A member of the high school’s wind ensemble, she has participated in All-County in previous years and also plays the piano.

As the Page Turns with Librarian Laura Flanagan

“Everything we Didn’t Say” by Nicole Baart - A novel that has been getting a lot of buzz. Juniper Baker is back in town. Ostensibly, she’s there to help a friend who has taken ill and to work with her at the local library. But coming back for Juniper means she needs to confront just a few things. First, there’s the teenage daughter she left behind --the one who's been raised by her mother and stepmother. And then there are the neighbors nearby who were brutally murdered about the time she took off. Her younger brother was the lead suspect in that murder. So now she is back and has a chance to make a lot of things right. But before she does, there will be a whole lot that needs to come undone. Will revealing what reallyhappened mean a fresh start?

Or will the truth destroy everything Juniper loves for a second time? (Release date 11/2/21) “The Apollo Murders” by Chris Hadfield - Bestseller Hadfield (“An Astronaut’s Guide to Life on Earth”) makes his fiction debut with a spectacular alternate history thriller. NASA is about to launch Apollo 18. While the

mission has been billed as a scientific one, flight controller Kazimieras “Kaz” Zemeckis knows there is a darker objective. Intelligence has discovered a secret Soviet space station spying on America, and Apollo 18 may be the only chance to stop it. But even as Kaz races to keep the NASA crew one step ahead of their Russian rivals, a deadly accident reveals that not everyone involved is quite who they were thought to be. With political stakes stretched to the breaking point, the White House and the Kremlin can only watch as their astronauts collide on the lunar surface, far beyond the reach of law or rescue, “The Apollo Murders” has a little something for everyone. A daring spaceflight, political intrigue, a spy thriller, and a good ol’ fashioned whodunnit all rolled into one exciting story! (Release date 10/12/21) “The Judge’s List” by John Grisham - John Grisham is back with his latest legal thriller, Investigator Lacy Stoltz follows the trail of a serial killer, and closes in on a shocking suspect–a sitting judge. As an investigator for the Florida Board on Judicial Conduct, Lacy Stoltz sees plenty of corruption among the men and women elected to the bench.

In “The Whistler,” she took on a crime syndicate that was paying millions to a crooked judge. Now, in “The Judge’s List,” the crimes are even worse. The man hiding behind the black robe is not taking bribes—but he may be taking lives. (Release date 10/19/21) “Still Life” by Sarah Winman Tuscany, 1944, as Allied troops advance and bombs fall around deserted villages, a young English soldier, Ulysses Temper, has a chance encounter with Evelyn Skinner, a middle-aged art historian who has come to Italy to salvage paintings from the ruins and recall long-forgotten memories of her own youth. In each other, Ulysses and Evelyn find a kindred spirit amongst the rubble of wartorn Italy, and set off on a course of events that will shape Ulysses’ life for the next four decades. As Ulysses returns home to London, he carries his time in Italy with him. And when an unexpected inheritance brings him back to where it all began, Ulysses knows better than to tempt fate, and returns to the Tuscan hills. (Release date 11/2/21)

THE VIEW FROM HERE

The 2021 election results

BY BOB MORGAN, JR. The voters have now spoken, in most places for the first significant time since President Biden was elected. While the results were not completely uniform, they pretty clearly should serve as a wakeup call to both the Democratic Party and to President Biden.

The marquee race of this cycle was the gubernatorial election in Virginia, a state that has been trending Democratic for the last decade. Nevertheless, the winner was Republican Glenn Youngkin, who ran on a platform of lower taxes, but also parental control of children’s education, a message that clearly resonated with suburban voters. In heavily Democratic New Jersey, the incumbent Democratic governor, Phil Murphy, was barely reelected, with a strong Republican vote in the suburbs for his GOP challenger Jack Ciatarrelli. In Minneapolis, voters rejected a defund the police proposal. And not least of all, voters in Nassau and Suffolk County, angered by rising crime and bail reform, voted to oust Democratic district attorneys. Nassau has also apparently elected a Republican county executive.

Although some of the results around the country mainly were local in nature, the voters seem to be saying that government needs to be more competent and to focus on issues that are of importance to ordinary people.

As for competence, on the national level, the Biden Administration's botched evacuation from Afghanistan, its loss of control of immigration along the Southern border, the lack of much of an effective response to shortages, and (at least until last Friday) its general lack of success in moving its legislative program on Capitol Hill does not inspire confidence in Mr. Biden's leadership, and reinforces perceptions (perhaps unfair) of a detached and out of touch President.

On the local level, the continuing inability of many local governments to keep crime and homelessness under control, and taxes in check, makes voters look for new leadership. There is also continuing unhappiness about the quality and tenor of public education, with many parents believing that their opinions

and values are not taken into account by school boards and administrators.

As for focusing on issues important to voters, one obvious example is inflation. There seem to be rising prices pretty much across the board, with a particularly notable spike in the price of gas at the pump and a likely surge this winter in home heating oil. The inflation is being exacerbated by shortages and supply chain disruptions.

The Biden Administration, however, despite occasional lip service about inflation (which it blames on the recovery from the pandemic), is focusing on passage of another huge spending bill, in the face of a widespread belief that it will exacerbate debt and deficit problems and further spike inflation.

Despite a surge in energy prices, it focuses on climate change issues while seemingly hostile to domestic production of fossil fuels and energy independence. While Mr. Biden seeks to be a transformational president, he might heed the advice of Abigail Spanberger, a Virginia Democratic Congresswoman from a marginal district. Ms. Spanberger said this week that for many voters, Mr. Biden’s mandate was quite limited: to remove Donald J. Trump from their television screens and make American life normal again.

“Nobody elected him to be F.D.R., they elected him to be normal”.

Obviously, the 2021 election is more predictive than important in itself, and this is certainly not to say that the path is hopeless for Team Biden. An obvious example of success is the infrastructure legislation that passed this week and will be signed by the President. While you could quibble with individual provisions of the legislation, it least had some bipartisan support and will result in tangible results like better bridges and tunnels. Mr. Biden can also take solace that his two Democratic predecessors, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, were reelected despite significant off year election setbacks. And Republicans are very divided over the future of Mr. Trump. Still, now seems like the time for Mr. Biden to reevaluate his Presidency and make some course corrections.

IN MEMORIAM

IN MEMORIAM

Lawrence Jaeger

Lawrence Jaeger

Martin Duffy with his six children during his 99th birthday in 2019

Martin Joseph Duffy

Martin Duffy died peacefully encompassed in the loving embrace of his six children. A longtime resident of Garden City and West Hampton Beach, Mr. Duffy was preceded into heaven by his adored wife Lucille Peters Duffy, as well as his brother Malachy Duffy and his sister Ann Duffy Horner. Mr. Duffy joined wife Lucille at Calverton National Cemetery in September 2021 where he received military honors for his service to his country.

Mr. Duffy is survived by his six children and their spouses Malachy James Duffy, Jo Duffy, Ann Duffy and Nick Hanna, Patrick and Darlene Duffy, Katie Duffy, and Hope Duffy Morgan and Mark Morgan, as well as his six beloved grandchildren Daisy, Nick and Teddy Hanna, Rachel Duffy and Martin and Ellie Morgan. He is also survived by his brother Jack Duffy, longtime resident of Rockville Center and Stewart FL. Mr. Duffy immigrated from Glasgow Scotland to Park Slope Brooklyn as a wee laddie of 8. His first job was the position of turnstile boy at Ebbets Field for The Brooklyn Dodgers, where he was paid the lofty sum of 25 cents per day (5 cents for a hot dog, 5 cents for an ice cream, 5 cents for the trolly and a dime

for Mom). He attended St. John’s Prep after an athletic scout eyed him on Fourth Avenue throwing a ball with the promise of “Young man, if you can throw a football that far accurately with consistency, we will pay for you to attend our school and Quarterback our team to victory over our nemesis Brooklyn Prep (whose quarterback was later known as Chuck Connors, aka “The Rifleman”).”

At the onset of World War II Mr. Duffy attended Kings Point Academy and was commissioned as an Ensign in the U.S. Merchant Marine where he served on various vessels throughout the war up until 1948.

After the war, Mr. Duffy graduated from Columbia University. He and Lucille were married on his 30th birthday, had six children and moved to 81 Kensington Road Garden City in 1961, where they lived and raised their family until 1987.

An Original Mad Man, Mr. Duffy was a long-time advertising director at AT&T until his retirement in 1983. He loved to play squash and golf, travel with Lucille, sing, and on occasion visit old family haunts Down on 33rd and Third (on the Eastside). He was the quintessential family man, and he will be missed by many.

Lawrence Jaeger, 89, of Garden City, passed away peacefully on Friday, November 5th, 2021 surrounded by family.

Born and raised in Glendale, NY, he then served his country and became a proud Korean War Veteran.

After meeting and marrying Peggy in 1956, they eventually settled in Garden City where they raised their family.

Larry was an active member of St. Joseph Church and strong supporter of St. Joseph School where all six children graduated. He was a firm believer in education and religious values.

Larry was a respected instructor of the Dale Carnegie Course to the betterment of thousands. He enjoyed a successful career in the textile industry, eventually opening and owning Winland Mills with his son, Robert.

Larry was a great host of innumerable parties in Garden City, Windham and Amagansett to the enjoyment of many.

Predeceased by his beloved wife, Margaret (Peggy) and youngest child Robert (Elvira). Adored father of Lawrence Jr. (Peggy), Kathleen (David), Mary (Al), Patricia (John), and Anne (Lee). Loving Grandfather to Erin,(Mahen), Alison, William (Rebecca), Kerri, Jennifer, Samantha, Grace, Emma and Jackson; and great grandfather to Ian.

Pack 55 and Troop 55 partner with local businesses to provide florist quality products, and their poinsettias are grown locally on Long Island. Scouts themselves, together with their parents, help solicit orders and make deliveries.

They even tie many of the bows on the wreaths being sold the morning of delivery to make sure they look great on everyone's doors and windows.

Annual PARP Reading Program Set to Kick Off!

Get ready to embark on a reading journey as PARP kicks off this year!

PARP is designed to encourage a love of reading in our children by asking a partner (parent, grandparent, babysitter, older sibling, cousin, friend, etc.) to read with a child for at least 20 minutes daily. The choice of reading materials can include anything with printed

words.

Our theme this year is Reading Brings Us Together. We were inspired by the history of the transcontinental railroad and how this historical event brought our country together. As such, reading opens up new worlds and unites us as we learn about all of the many people and cultures that make our country so great.

We hope that you can join us this year as we kick off PARP with a flipgrid event. Details will be sent home by each school with details on how to participate. PARP will continue to run throughout the year with many virtual and in person events -- so please be on the lookout for emails and PTA communications. All aboard!!

Thunder 7s finish season on Halloween

Amazing season with team and coaches.

The Garden City Thunder 7s (Diez) finished the season last Sunday on Halloween with a loss at Bellmore. A close game until the end with lots of tough hitting and big plays on both sides. This was only the second loss of an otherwise very successful first season. The boys executed on some very exciting plays including a double reverse from Nolan Doggendorf to Colin Miller and an almost touchdown throw from Nicholas Diez. Robbie Sampson controlled the line of scrimmage from the center position and helped bait Bellmore offsides multiple times. Lots of new players stepped up on defense including huge hits from Eric Melendez, Matt Dean, and Keegan Fitzpatrick.

James Daily and George Wenk got a taste of the linebacker position and helped anchor the defensive unit in the 2nd half. Both teams put forth a great effort and left it all on the field for their final game.

With a great turnout from 7-year-olds

This season’s four King of the Ring winners! across Garden City, the Thunder were able to form two full teams (Reilly & Diez) this year. With over 50 boys signed up and ready to go, they practiced as one unit for multiple weeks in August before being split into two teams. Both teams stuck together throughout and practiced and prepared together and had the luxury of scrimmaging on a weekly basis. Great bonds and friendships were formed across both teams that will last until these boys are playing together for the Garden City High School Trojans. Coach Christian Diez led an amazing group of first-time coaches including Chris Dean, Chris Schoppner, Chris Manna, Dan Sampson, and Tom Melendez, all parents of players on the team.

To celebrate the successful season, both teams celebrated with a Trunk or Treat event at Stewart Field that allowed all the parents and players to come together to enjoy company and reflect on their experiences. It was a

Thunder offense challenging the line of scrimmage at Bellmore.

Under the lights on Friday night at Franklin Square was an exciting and memorable experience.

Friday night King of the Ring became a team favorite event this year.

Keegan Fitzpatrick and Nora Bley.

great day with parents and players participated with outstanding decorated vehicles, goodies for the families, and a pizza truck. It was a perfect celebration to end the season and get the boys excited for next year!

Many of the older Thunder teams will continue playing as they will be competing in playoff rounds. Since there are no playoffs for seven-year-olds they’ll have to wait until next year to gear up

and get out again. There is no doubt that both the Reilly and Diez teams will be playoff contenders for years to come!

For those who are interested in Garden City Thunder and beyond all should rest assured the pipeline is strong with this group of 7-year-olds. Thank you to all the parents and the Thunder organization for the tremendous support throughout the season.

Week 8: Garden City at Bellmore. Both teams meet for the coin toss.

Weekend in Mendocino: Brewery Gulch Inn

BY KAREN RUBIN TRAVEL FEATURES SYNDICATE GOINGPLACESFARANDNEAR.COM To get to Mendocino, you drive through Anderson Valley with its picturesque vineyards, wineries, and farms, take a twisty road that winds around hills, and go through the Navarro Redwood Forest (a magical experience) and finally, along the Pacific coast. You are already feeling the calm sweep over you by the time you reach Brewery Gulch Inn, set on a hillside with a sweeping view of a cove and the ocean. And then you fully exhale and feel all stress and worldly concerns slip away. Time seems to slow down.

Brewery Gulch Inn With Mendocino itself just around the bend, we head directly to the Brewery Gulch Inn, a marvelously quiet, intimate inn (just 10 rooms) which sits just above the coastal highway, nestled amid trees and lush landscaping.

We arrive just in time for the 5:306:30 pm wine hour – a delightful tasting that accompanies a delicious artfully prepared light dinner.

There are many modifications due to COVID-consciousness – so many actually being very pleasant adaptations that have become popular with guests. So, instead of serving the inn’s signature dinner as a buffet, we are given our own bento box, accessed with our room key (late arrivals will find it in their room).

We can sit in the Great Room – a combination living room and dining room (with well spaced tables) set around a fireplace, that opens out

Savoring the peace, the view, and the bento box dinner and wine at Brewery Gulch Inn, Mendocino, California © Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com to the outdoor patio, or we can sit outside on the patio or lawn. We opt for the outdoors, bathing in the golden light of the setting sun as it falls into the ocean, watching waves hit against rocks in the intriguingly named Smuggler’s Cove, and hummingbirds chase each other. The feeling of well-being – pure contentment - washes over us. It is perfection.

Each day, Executive Chef Stephen Smith prepares artful, imaginative dinner selections that are a feast for the eyes as well as the palette, featuring organic produce accompanied by local wines and beers (included in the stay).

This night’s menu features Pina Colada prawns; creamy green chili and parmesan cheese polenta; chilled

black bean and corn salad; chocolate-raspberry truffle tart. The menu changes daily: the night before we arrived, dinner consisted of Cajun chicken fingers with Creole remoulade and pickled zucchini; maplewhipped sweet potatoes; orange chiffon cake with cream cheese frosting and crème Anglaise. On another night: crispy duck breast with rosemary Dijon & cranberry-ginger gastrique, blue corn polenta crackers, fennel-smoked tomato stuffing, House-pickled vegetables and Gran Marnier chocolate mousse.

Every detail is carefully arranged: the dinner is served in “Mendo-style” bento boxes created by local woodworker, John Myers, from the same eco-salvaged redwood used to con-

G O I N G P L A C E S N E A R A N D F A R

struct the Inn. The boxes are labeled with the name of each room (ours is Osprey and is decorated with Osprey images) so that guests can be sure the box prepared for their room will accommodate their dietary restrictions. “We are hoping the portability provided by these boxes will make it easier for you to dine outside, in our Great Room, or in the privacy of your room.”

(If you arrive after the concierge leaves, the bento box is sent into the room. They ask that you inform them by 10 am if you won’t be dining at the inn for the evening, to avoid food waste.)

G O I N G P L A C E S, N E A R & F A R ....

Weekend in Mendocino: Brewery Gulch Inn Continued from previous page of calm – not just in the balcony that overlooks ocean, and the exquisitely fine bedding, the gas-fireplace that provides heating, but in the accoutrements – a double-sized bath, soothing bath salts and creams. There is even a deck of “Sleep Technique” cards in the room and a book of “Poems for Sleep & Dream”. All the comforts you didn’t know you wanted but are so delighted to have.

Every possible guest comfort is integrated into the experience. The Great Room is loaded with games (even the furniture becomes a game board) and a huge selection of DVDs (just help yourself); there are bird books and a spotter scope on the patio; fresh coffee, fresh fruit and fruit-infused iced water set out, as well as a refrigerator that we guests can use – and the sweet, patient help of the concierge.

The interior design, furnishings and art are exquisite. And the ambiance and services are also very in tune with the environment – there are several

EV charging stations (you are asked to reserve time).

The effect is to be a place of serenity and peace.

We loved the personal notes from Guy Pacurar, Proprietor, Sarah Rowe, Guest Services and Manager, Laura Hockett in advance of our stay that ask about dietary restrictions, and offer driving directions with suggestions of places to stop along the route and activities to pre-book.

The inn’s website offers marvelous suggestions of what to do in the area, especially what might be prebooked. Under Pre-Arrival Concierge (https://www.brewerygulchinn.com/ prearrival-concierge), there are various services and activities, including massages, wine tours and tastings such as in Anderson Valley, horseback rides, chocolates, wines, restaurant reservations, that the inn can arrange for you prior to your arrival.

In the morning, there we find muffins and coffee laid out and we enjoy a marvelous cooked-to-order breakfast in

the Great Room (we could also have asked it to be served in our guest room).

I have a delectable salmon scramble.

Considering what is included in the experience – the wine tasting, light dinner accompanied by local wines and beers, lavish cooked-to-order breakfast from a seasonal menu (in the Great Room or served in your guest room), WiFi – this is an intimate inn (just 10 rooms) which provides the experience of a luxury resort that is also a value proposition.

It is no wonder Brewery Gulch Inn consistently merits awards and accolades: named to Conde Nast Traveler’s 2021 Readers’ Choice for Best Hotels-Northern California, its seventh time on Conde Nast Travelers’ list of best lodging properties in the US; Travel & Leisure’s Top 15 Resorts in California (2021) and a six-time winner of Travel & Leisure’s World’s Best Lodging Awards.

In the morning, aided by the suggestions of Brewery Gulch’s concierge (Glass Beach, Noyo Harbor for lunch,

Headlands Coastal Trail for a hike), we head out to explore. First stop, the famous, historic Skunk Train and its novel “railbike” experience in Fort Bragg, just 20 minutes up the coastal road.

Feeder Watch

BY JEFF RUGG It is that time of year again: The weather is getting colder, and it is time to begin preparing for winter. As our gardens prepare to go dormant for the winter, we can think ahead to the joy

that bird-feeding will bring. Fall is a good time to wash the feeders and to stock up on seed.

There are a few common questions and myths about bird-feeding. First, the birds will not become dependent on your feeder as a source of food and die if you don’t fill it while you are gone for a week or two. Even when they eat at feeders, birds eat from many other sources of natural food each day. Feeders do help some birds find a reliable source of food during heavy snow or ice storms, so you may want to have someone keep it full when you are not available.

Uncooked rice does not expand in the bird’s stomach and kill them. Many species of birds eat rice and other grains in the fields where they grow and are not harmed. Peanut butter does not stick in the bird’s throat and choke them. You can mix cornmeal, oatmeal, grit or birdseed with the peanut butter to make it less sticky if you want. Mixing vegetable shortening and peanut butter at about a 50-50 ratio and then adding cornmeal or birdseed makes a very appetizing and inexpensive suet substitute that many birds love.

A bird’s feet will not stick to a metal bird-feeder perch. Birds do not have sweat glands in their feet, which are covered in scales made from material like your fingernails. Just think of all the metal fences and telephone wires they sit on all day long and do not stick to.

This is also the time of year that people who feed birds can join the 15,000 other people who are part of the largest and longest running citizen-science project.

For 34 years, Project FeederWatch has been managed by the Cornell University Laboratory of Ornithology. It is a winter-long survey of birds that visit feeders at backyards, nature centers and other locales in North America. FeederWatch volunteers periodically count the numbers of each species they see at their feeders from November through April. The project helps scientists track movements of winter bird populations and long-term trends in bird distribution and abundance.

All you have to do is count all the birds in your yard at one time, then report the numbers to the Lab. You don’t even need a feeder to do the count and you can count on your own schedule.

The data collected show which bird species visit landscapes at thousands of locations across the continent every winter. The data also indicate how many individuals of each species are seen.

This information can be used to measure changes in the distributions and abundances of bird species over time.

Learn more about the project at feederwatch.org, where you can see maps, trend graphs and other results generated from FeederWatch data. FeederWatchers receive a Research Kit that includes: the FeederWatch Handbook, a guide to feeding birds; a full-color

identification poster of common feeder birds; a calendar featuring photographs taken by participants; and paper data forms and/or access to the online data entry system.

As the Lab is a nonprofit organization, there is an $18 annual participation fee ($15 for members of the Lab of Ornithology) that covers your materials and newsletter subscription, staff support, website support and data analysis. Visit the website or call (800) 843-2473 (BIRD).

Life lessons from a 4-star general

BY CLAIRE LYNCH Since the passing of General Colin Powell on October 18, I’ve had the chance to read his book titled, “It Worked for Me: In Life and Leadership” which was published in 2012. This wasn’t his memoir - that was “My American Journey” published in 2003. Sometimes I prefer reading books that aren’t memoirs because they can be more off-the-cuff, more down to earth and more inspirational.

I’ve heard several people talking about Powell’s “Thirteen Rules” for life and in business. Similar to the “Golden Rule,” if everyone followed these, there would be more harmony and peace in the workplace and in the world at large.

Powell’s Thirteen Rules: 1. It ain’t as bad as you think. It will look better in the morning.

2. Get mad, then get over it.

3. Avoid having your ego so close to your position that when your position falls, your ego goes with it.

4. It can be done!

5. Be careful what you choose. You may get it.

6. Don’t let adverse facts stand in the way of a good decision.

7. You can’t make someone else’s choices. You shouldn’t let someone else make yours.

8. Check small things.

9. Share credit.

10. Remain calm. Be kind.

11. Have a vision. Be demanding.

12. Don’t take counsel of your fears or naysayers.

13.

Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier.

I especially like Rules #1, 8 and 10.

With #1, after a good night’s sleep, things do look better in the morning - or at least there is a different perspective on matters. This rule reflects an attitude, not a prediction. “I have always tried to keep my confidence and optimism up, no matter how difficult the

situation,” Powell said. A good night’s rest usually reduces any problem or conflict. He has also said that leaders should leave their office every night with “a winning attitude,” even while dealing with major problems, to convey strength to their team.

With #8, as a leader, he would often drop in on other departments and wander around the office to see what others were working on. That’s because for him, success was built off small details.

“Leaders have to have a feel for small things - a feel for what is going on in the depths of an organization where small things reside,” he said. It is always important to look at the details, to check the small things.

As for #10, when situations become chaotic, Powell said, stay calm and be kind: “In the ‘heat of battle,’ whether it’s military or corporate, kindness, like calmness, reassures followers and holds their confidence.”

Every so often I think about the type of leader I would want to follow in times of crisis. Who is an inspiring leader?

Who makes level-headed decisions? As in life, kindness counts. Whether innate or cultivated, Powell had an ability to connect with people.

Born in Harlem in 1937 as the son of immigrants from Jamaica, Powell grew up in the South Bronx. A graduate of the City College of New York, Powell received his B.S. in geology in 1958. After enlisting in the U.S. Army, he served in West Germany and did two tours in Vietnam. He won the Purple Heart after being wounded in the Vietnam War and later received the Soldier’s Medal for rescuing his comrades from a burning helicopter. After his time in Vietnam, Powell attended George Washington University and earned his MBA in 1971.

Powell served as National Security Advisor for President Ronald Reagan, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under George H. W. Bush and as George

W. Bush’s Secretary of State from 2001 to 2005.

He would share his experiences and his wisdom of years spent working in the military and in Washington, D.C. in 2006 Powell went to the Humphrey School of Public Affairs in Minneapolis and staffers said that he told his life story humbly, with humor, and in a way that inspired others.

With grades in school that weren’t great, Powell told the students that he knew his career path was not to be found in business or academics so his decision to join the Reserve Officer Training Corps was a good one for him.

In time he moved up the ranks in the Army. He believed the military provided advancement opportunities for a working-class Black American in the 1960s. That hunch along with hard work served him well. Powell has said, “Leadership is all about inspiring a group of people to achieve what needs to be achieved.”

Elementary school students as well as college students have said that they admire Powell because of the attributes that characterized him - duty, honor and service. Several schools across the country have been named for him. Colin Powell Elementary School in Grand Prairie, Texas, opened in August 1997 and three months later Powell stopped by to visit the teachers, students and parents. One fourth-grade math teacher, Tammy Oxford, has said, “It was amazing, I never would have thought that Colin Powell would come here. It made us want to do the best we could do - he expected us to be a great school because we were named after him.”

Over the course of decades Powell had met with kings and queens and prime ministers and when asked by reporter Bob Woodward in an interview who was the greatest person he had ever known, in terms of having a moral compass and sense of the truth mattering, Colin Powell unequivocally and without hesitating said, “It’s Alma Powell.” He and his wife were married for 58 years and had three children.

When Grandma Needs Help Managing Her Social Security Benefits

BY TOM MARGENAU This is going to be a column about people who need help managing their Social Security affairs.

People frequently send me emails about this topic. A typical email might go something like this: “My 90-year-old grandmother has a hard time getting around and managing all of her affairs.

I had myself granted power of attorney so that I can help her do things. But when I recently called Social Security to change my grandma’s direct deposit address for her Social Security checks, they said my grandma had to do it herself. Don’t they understand what ‘power of attorney’ means?”

Believe me, SSA understands what that means. But what the folks who send these kinds of questions to me don’t understand is that “power of attorney” is essentially a meaningless designation for Social Security purposes. Let me explain.

Social Security rules have always been very strict about the privacy of someone’s records. For example, there is no way I could get any Social Security information about any one of my readers from the Social Security Administration. And you couldn’t get any information about me. In fact, I couldn’t even get information about my wife. If I called SSA tomorrow and asked, “Can you tell me how much my wife is getting in monthly benefits?” -- they would correctly tell me, “Sorry, sir; that information is private, and we can’t disclose it to you.”

Those privacy laws are behind SSA’s rules regarding trying to help your grandma (or anyone else for that matter) with their Social Security affairs.

Having “power of attorney” over someone gives you absolutely no right to violate the law that says SSA has to keep our Social Security records private.

I can hear many of you saying: “But come on, Tom; this lady is just trying to help her grandma get her bank address changed.” And I understand that point. But you’ve got to understand that the law is very clear on this. As long as people are mentally capable of handling their own Social Security affairs, they have that right to the privacy of their records.

Those two words, “mentally capable,” are the keys to being able to help grandma with her Social Security affairs. Or to turn that around, if she is mentally incapable of handling her own business with Social Security, you, or some other close family member, can be appointed what SSA calls her “representative payee.”

When that happens, grandma’s Social Security checks will come in your name and be sent to her bank account, your account or some kind of joint account that you set up. And once you are named her representative payee, you

can (and must) handle all her other Social Security affairs.

So, if grandma is just having a hard time getting around but she is still in a good mental state, then she (with whatever help you can give her) is going to have to take care of her own Social Security business. For example, with your help, she can call SSA at 800-772-1213 or go online at www.socialsecurity.gov to change her direct deposit information.

But if grandma ever reaches the point where she is no longer mentally capable of dealing with Social Security matters, then call SSA and file to be her representative payee. You will fill out a short form and you will be asked to get a doctor or some other medical professional to sign a statement indicating that your grandma is no longer mentally able to handle her Social Security affairs.

Once your claim is approved, grandma’s checks will come in your name.

For example, if you are Jane Doe and she is Mary Doe, the account will show benefits payable to “Jane Doe for Mary Doe.” Along with the representative payee designation comes some important responsibilities. Primarily, you are going to have to periodically account for how you spent her money. SSA will send you a form (usually once a year) asking you to show what you did with grandma’s Social Security money. Most of the time, that entails showing that you paid her rent, bought her groceries, paid her utility bills, etc.

By the way, there are some representative payee situations where an annual accounting is not required.

For example, if a parent is a payee for a minor child, or one spouse is payee for another spouse, SSA will not require you to complete the annual accounting form. Still, these folks should keep records of how they spend the Social Security money just in case there are issues and SSA asks for the evidence.

It’s nice that your grandma has someone like you who is looking after her. But there are times when that doesn’t happen. Someone may need a payee, but no one is willingly coming forward to serve in that role. SSA has a list of preferred payees, with close family members or those who have custody of the Social Security beneficiary at the top of the list. And sometimes if a person is in an institution, like a nursing home or other care facility, it’s just easiest to have the benefits sent directly to that institution.

There are also times when there can be a family squabble over who should be the payee for a mentally incompetent person. Different family members will each insist that the benefits be paid to themselves. Then SSA must investigate, usually using that aforementioned list of preferred payees, and decide who is

the proper person for that role.

There are also times when one family member will accuse another family member of misusing the Social Security funds meant for an incapable Social Security beneficiary. Once again, SSA has to step into the middle of these family quarrels and figure out what is going on.

A lot of this can be avoided with what SSA calls an “advance designation of representative payee.” If you are a Social Security beneficiary who is

still in good mental health, you can contact SSA and name someone you would prefer to be your payee if the need ever arises. This could avoid a lot of hassles later on.

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

Look at your home as if you were the purchaser!

BY PHILIP A. RAICES

I

usually convey this information to all of my client sellers, when they are considering putting their home on the market. There are a multitude of reasons for taking this position and understanding the concerns and attitudes of their current and future purchasers.

Many times sellers don’t realize or aren’t aware of how a buyer(s) may view their home and how particular that they may be when analyzing all there is to know when making their purchase in the current market where home prices have excelled to the highest level in history.

In Great Neck alone, as of my most current analysis last week, 95.4+% of all listed homes in Great Neck alone were listed at $1,000,000 plus! 10 years ago it was 84.2%; so I can’t blame any buyer(s) for not trying to figure out and ascertain how they can be able to afford a home at somewhat of a reduced selling price, when so many homes have been selling at asking and in some instances during a bidding war, way above asking. It’s unfathomable when I realize how much the monthly carrying costs are, to be able to afford to live a comfortable lifestyle and not even lavishly on Long Island. But those that have the income can, while others are either struggling paycheck to paycheck or are leaving and abandoning NYS to other lower cost localities in other states.

This has been the norm over the last number of years dating back to 1987. I had mentioned this in a previous column when I ran for the Town of North Hempstead Supervisor against Ben Zwirn, John Kiernan and the Right to Life candidate. Back then in Manhasset, I spoke in front of a large congregation of people that the “brain drain” was happening and that so many were leaving NYS to more affordable states and that something

needed to be done, but as usual, it fell on deaf ears! Prices were even so, so much lower back then to the tune of 2-3 + times less than today for a similar 4 bedroom and 2 bath home!

Right now with all that has been going on with the Pandemic the last 18 months, it has exacerbated the exodus from large populated cities by families and individuals who desire and want more open space, privacy, etc. They are more health safety conscious than ever, draining our city population to go to less congested areas to homes with more interior space to enable people to work remotely. This has been a huge selling factor for homes that have additional rooms that provided rooms for office space in 2020, as well as space for children, when schools were closed and classes were done via computer. The pace at which people have exited NYC since March 2020 has been 425,000+ as well as other crowded cities that have been greatly affected due to Covid-19 as well as the Delta Variant adding insult to injury and the 753,926 deaths as of 11/4/21 in the U.S. adding to the 5,059,403+ who have died globally!

So sellers you must be even more critical than your eventual purchaser, and with their home inspector, will usually find things that will cause the potential renegotiating of the previous agreed and accepted sales price. To avert and avoid this from happening, I suggest that if your home is 20 or more years old, that you have a pre-inspection completed by either a home inspector or engineer and have them go over your entire home from the roof, chimney, (whether it needs pointing or new flashing to prevent leaks), gutters and leaders, right to your basement e.g.

all the utilities electrical service breaker panel and wiring, the heating (boiler and hot water heater), and the plumbing. Also, all your built in appliances, including your refrigerator, stove, dish washer, washer and dryer should also be checked too. The exterior condition of your home, including your windows, structural integrity of walls and foundation, landscape, patios, decks and sidewalks will also come into play in your pre-inspection.

It is extremely critical to repair those items in advance when it will be less costly to take care of them than waiting until your buyer finds those items.

Invariably, buyers will reduce your price by more than it will cost you, if you aren’t proactive in your approach in taking care of those most important items.

Some additional things that are also very critical to repair or upgrade, which otherwise might be deal-breakers, e.g. water issues in the basement, and sometimes there were those electrical panels (Federal Pacific Electric Service Panels) that were installed before 1990 were recalled due to safety hazards and potential fires! Others are Zinsco Service Panels installed in homes in the 1970’s. Also, Split-Bus electrical panels, although not unsafe, haven’t been used in 40+ years. You can tell if you have one of these, if your breakers are divided into 2 groups, which don’t have a single disconnect.

Lastly, an outdated screw in Fuse Box, which was the precursors to the modern circuit breaker, is definitely a type that absolutely must be replaced and upgraded with a circuit breaker. If you have any one of these old and sometimes unsafe electrical panels, by all means, replace them before your first

buyer does an inspection.

Although demand is still historically strong with very low inventory and interest rates, it still would behoove you and would make a lot of sense as a homeowner to order a pre-inspection.

The report that will accompany it will detail all the good things about your home and all those items that will either need fixing and/or upgrading that are within your current affordable budget. Otherwise it just might cost you much more later on, when your future buyer does their inspection and adds up those needed repairs and wants to change their offer. But then again, some homeowners will just sell in “as is” condition and take their chances for the best outcome. Whatever, you decide to do, be prudent and smart in your decision before selling and realize, this just might be your most valuable asset and you want to extract as much profit as possible, so do your homework so the result will be a positive outcome. If you need any advice concerning recommendations, please call me.

Fueling Fall Sports

BY CHARLYN FARGO

School has started and that means fall sports are underway -- soccer, football and basketball. Fueling a teen’s body for those sports is extra important considering the prevalence of COVID-19 and other viruses. It all boils down to meals full of plenty of nutrients. Here are some tips to help you make it happen.

No. 1: Cut back on added sugars and choose calories that provide good fuel over empty calories. It’s like gas in your car -- the better the fuel, the better it will run. Young athletes are still growing, so calorie needs vary depending on age, sex, type and amount of activity. How much a teen eats needs to match their activity

level and simultaneously support growth and development. On average, active teenage boys need 3,000 to 4,000 calories a day, according to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Like any other healthy diet, calories should come from fruits, vegetables, whole-grain breads and cereals, low-fat dairy, lean protein foods and hearthealthy fats.

No. 2: Breakfast is important to help athletes get all the calories they need, according to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Choose whole-grain cereals with low-fat milk and fruit, whole-grain waffles with peanut butter or Greek yogurt with fruit.

No. 3: If your teen prefers to pack a lunch for school, try bean and beef burri-

tos topped with salsa; grilled chicken sandwiches with coleslaw; and Mediterranean veggie wraps spread with hummus and filled with veggies, feta or other cheese, chicken or turkey and a light vinaigrette.

Try to combine protein with vegetables with whole grains.

No. 4: For dinner, don’t be afraid of carbs -- carbohydrates are the most important fuel for an athlete. Carbs are stored as fuel inside muscles -- the only fuel the body can use for power moves. For dinner, think whole-wheat spaghetti with a meat sauce, salad, whole grain Italian bread and plenty of milk to drink. It’s a great recovery meal after a hard practice or a great before-game meal to load some

carbohydrates.

No. 5: For snacks, think a hard-boiled egg, fresh fruit, veggies with hummus, string cheese and whole-grain crackers, Greek yogurt or seasoned air-popped popcorn and almonds. Have your athlete drink plenty of water and eat a light snack before practice, such as half a turkey sandwich or an orange and a handful of nuts. After practice or a game, refuel with chocolate milk, a low-sugar sports drink, a banana, Greek yogurt or a handful of trail mix.

It All Comes Out in the Wash

BY TRACY BECKERMAN “You put that in the wrong way,” I said to my husband as I stood over him, watching as he loaded the dishwasher.

“Are you backseat dishwasher-loading?” he asked me.

“It’s not a big deal,” I said. “It’s just that all the dinner plates should be loaded on the bottom, in the front, facing the same way.”

He shook his head, wiped his hands on a dish towel and walked away.

“I’m filing a complaint with the husbands’ union,” he said as he left. “I can’t work this way.”

I frowned and left the dishwasher loading zone. In the grand scheme of things, how one loads the dishwasher is probably not on the same level as, say, world peace. And of course, I was grateful that my husband did the dishes every night after I made dinner. But

since I am a perfectionist, I wanted him to do it the right way. And by right way, I meant my way.

You would think after 29 years of marriage, my husband would get this.

But alas, just like his inability to bring the dirty laundry down from the top of the stairs, put his shoes back in the closet or take out the garbage when it’s sitting by the door, he seemed to have Household Chore Blindness, a common ailment that could afflict anyone with a Y chromosome.

We had gone through a similar challenge in our marriage some years ago when I discovered that he suffered from toilet paper dysfunction. After leaving a new roll next to the empty roll he had left on the dispenser, and seeing it remain there for a week, I realized he had an acute case of Inability to Change the Empty Toilet Paper Roll-itis. This is associated with a related ailment,

Inability to Hang the Toilet Paper Roll the Right Way Syndrome. And by right way, I mean my way, which is over, not under.

My husband, of course, thinks I am ridiculous, but he still tries to accommodate me. Or at least he did, until this Great Dishwasher War of 2021. I could see years from now when they would teach about this in social studies, young, impressionable minds might think I was a lunatic, and I didn’t want to be remembered in the annals of history as the Dishwasher Whacko of Suburbia.

I decided I didn’t want how the plates were stacked in the dishwasher to be the reason we ended our marriage. Not making hospital corners on the bed, yes. But dishwasher stuff, probably not.

Meanwhile, back in the kitchen, I decided to take a chance and go outside my comfort zone. I filled the dishwasher with soap, closed the door and turned

it on. Two minutes later it turned itself off. I turned it back on. And then it turned itself off again. While I tried a third time my husband walked in.

“Are you running the dishwasher?” he said.

“Yes.” “The way I loaded it?”

“Yes,” I said.

“Good for you honey,” he said. “So, what did you learn?”

“It doesn’t really matter how you load the dishwasher,” I said.

“And why is that?”

I frowned. “Because the dishwasher is broken.”

Seeing Double in Perseus

BY DENNIS MAMMANA Week of November 7-13, 2021 One autumn night in 1971 while I was a junior in college, I hosted a small group in our observatory to view the wonders of the heavens. Shortly after beginning, we smelled smoke, not uncommon during chilly November nights in central Ohio as fireplaces were active all over the county. But this was different; this smelled like a burning building.

After some investigation, I found in the lab just below the observatory workers frantically fighting an electrical fire in their ceiling, and they were not winning. So I raced upstairs, gathered our group, turned off the power and shut the dome, grabbed a few eyepieces and the observatory logbook and led everyone down five flights of stairs to the street.

It was on that night that we lost our observatory, but I’ll never forget the last view we had through its superb telescope. It was the Double Cluster of Perseus.

The Double Cluster and I shared a horrific experience that night, and every year on Nov. 16, I step outside to say hi to my old celestial friend. And this month, exactly 50 years later, I will do so again.

This week, before moonlight becomes too bright, try to find it for yourself. First, locate Cassiopeia, the queen. You can search for celestial royalty if you like, but you’ll have more luck tracing the letter “W” outlined by its five brightest stars standing sideways in the northeast

after dark. Simply follow its two nearly vertical stars downward and extend that line by twice their separation.

Look carefully and you may spot this object with your own eyes as a faint smudge of light but aim binoculars or a small telescope in its direction and you may think you’re seeing double. That’s because you are.

Modern astronomers identify this sight it as “h and chi Persei”, as well as by the catalog numbers NGC 869 and NGC 884. Most of us, however, know it simply as the Double Cluster of Perseus.

The easternmost cluster of the pair (NGC 884) is slightly larger but contains fewer stars -- about 150 or so -- while NGC 869 is physically smaller and contains about 200 stars.

At a distance of some 7,000 to 7,500 light years, these star clusters lie within only a few hundred light years of each other -- pretty close by cosmic standards.

They also seem to be relatively young -most likely less than 13 million years old -- and travel together through the galaxy tethered by gravitation.

What a stunning sight we had on that night in 1971 as we peered at this ancient light the magnificent 16-inch telescope showed us during its final minutes of life -- a sight I shall never forget.

A few decades later, my astronomy professor and his wife visited me in San Diego, and while enjoying a terrific meal of pasta and vino I said to him, “You know, Phil, of all the students you’ve had over the decades I’m amazed that you

still remember me.”

Having spent four years under his tutelage, I should never have been surprised by his hilarious response. “Not remember you. You burned down my

observatory. How could I forget you!”

In 2022, the GCAA will be sponsoring travel baseball teams in the U8, U9 and U10 age groups. On the afternoon of Sunday November 14th, the GCAA will be holding tryouts for the 2022 U8, U9 and U10 teams. The exact time and location for each age group is TBD. Details will be shared with all registered participants prior to the tryouts.

To be eligible to tryout, a child must live or attend school in Garden City and meet the following age requirements: U8 Team: Players born between 9/1/2013 and 8/31/2014. Players born between 9/1/2014 and 11/30/2014 who are currently in 2nd grade are also eligible.

U9 Team: Players born between 9/1/2012 and 8/31/2013. Players born between 9/1/2013 and 11/30/2013 who are currently in 3rd grade are also eligible.

U10 Team: Players born between 9/1/2011 and 8/31/2012. Players born between 9/1/2012 and 11/30/2012 who are currently in 4th grade are also eligible.

Players born after November 30, 2014 are not eligible to participate in the GCAA travel baseball program in 2022. Similarly, since the GCAA does not sponsor any travel baseball teams for ages U11 and older, players born prior to September 1, 2011 are also not eligible to tryout for a GCAA travel team. These travel teams are Independent and operate outside of the GCAA Program.

The U9 and U10 teams that are selected in the fall typically begin winter workouts in January at an indoor facility. The U8 teams may also participate in winter workouts this year as well.

Players must be willing to play baseball

on a year-round basis and be committed to their team. We recognize that participants play other sports and have other activities, and the GCAA encourages that diversity of activity. We understand that players may miss games or practices from time to time because of illness, family events, practices or games for other sports or participation in other activities. We simply ask that the children and parents recognize that they have made a commitment to their Garden City baseball team and that they communicate with their coaches so that the teams are not in a position where other players on the team do not have a good experience because too many players are regularly choosing another activity at the expense of baseball.

Please also understand that any child participating in the GCAA travel program must also participate in the GCAA intramural baseball program in the Spring of 2022. The intent of the travel baseball program is to provide the opportunity to play more baseball to those who are interested, not to replace our intramural program.

You may also send an email to bdesiderio74@gmail.com to express interest in coaching a team.

A fantastic end to soccer season

Team Brazil showed us what youth sports is all about. Making new friends, learning new skills and having a great time despite the score at the end of the game. A big thank you to Coach Matt and Coach Paul for being positive role models for the players.

Waldorf School Boys Varsity Soccer team wins championship

The Waldorf School of Garden City Boys Varsity Soccer team.

The Thunder Stoller 9s are headed to the playoffs!

The Thunder Stoller 9s (6-2) concluded the regular season with a 20-19 victory over the Rockville Centre Titans (1-6-1) to secure an impressive third place finish in the Nassau County Youth Football League Division 9 standings.

On the Thunder’s first play from scrimmage, quarterback Landon Stoller connected on a 58-yard touchdown pass to Running Back Peter Hamilton to open the Thunder scoring. Hamilton also added a 43-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter. Dylan Vaillant found the endzone for the 7th time this season with a third quarter 60-yard scamper. Vaillant also added two extra point runs on the day. The offensive line continued its impressive play, led by guards Michael Kennedy and Leo Delaney, who each earned a share of the coveted “Player of the Game” belt for their efforts, not only during the Thunder victory over the Titans on Sunday, but for their impressive play during the course of the season.

Thunder Stoller 9s topple the Titans

63

The Thunder defense bent but did not break on Sunday, as it prevented the Titan offense from scoring on two extra point attempts in what proved to be the difference in the game. Tackle Luke Finelli and linebacker Hayes Kelleher each collected 7 tackles on the day, including a tackle for loss, cornerback William Fruzzetti tallied eight tackles on the day, and tackle Andrew Bruno collected a key fumble recovery to guide the Thunder defense in another notable effort.

Sunday’s victory clinched the Thunder’s positioning among the top four teams in the Division and earned it an opportunity to play for the Division 9 Championship. The Thunder’s playoff journey starts this coming Sunday against the second seeded Hempstead Tigers. The Thunder look to avenge its loss to the Tigers from earlier this season in this first round match-up. Go Thunder!!

After an impressive regular season campaign that finished with a 6-0 record, the Waldorf School of Garden City boys’ varsity soccer team entered the playoffs focused, determined, and quietly confident that it could bring home the championship for the School.

The team defeated Lawrence Woodmere Academy in the semifinals 6-1 and took command of the Championship game early in the second half against The Schechter School of Long Island where they went on to win 5-2--bringing the PSAA Metro Conference Soccer Championship title home to The Waldorf School for the first time since 2015!

According to Waldorf Athletic Director, Shane Flanagan, “Throughout the season Coach Roberto and Coach Steve kept the team grounded and focused on the task at hand. Some great performances were displayed, most notably by 12th graders Joshua Wang, Colin Li, and Florent Rhuma. Our soccer

season may be over, but we continue to be proud of the amazing achievements and wonderful demonstration of teamwork and sportsmanship from our Waldorf student-athletes. This team maintained their composure and focus and represented the School with both honor and grace.”

During the championship game at Cantiague Park in Hicksville, two goals apiece were scored by Jasper Weinberger (11th grade) and Orestes Blades (10th grade), and rising star Olivier Rhuma (9th grade) netted one goal. In addition, individual awards were presented to Orestes Blades for Regular Season MVP, Jasper Weinberger for Playoffs MVP, and Coach Roberto Splendori was recognized as the Coach of the Year.

Congratulations to this extraordinary team!

GCHS Boys 2021 Soccer journey ends

The GCHS Trojans Boys Nassau County Champions….2021!

Well, the GC Trojans boys soccer team did not go down quietly at the end of this season.

The Trojans took to the Mitchell Field Complex on Wednesday Nov. 3rd to play for the Nassau County Championship against a tough Glen Cove team, whom they were playing for the 3rd time this season(won the prior 2 games). The weather was cooperating this night and no rain was in sight or 40 mph wind.

The lads got off to a quick start and put pressure on the Glen Cove defense throughout the first half. They finally broke through when Christian Pica was able to grab a loose ball and distribute it into the back of the Big Red net for a 1-0 lead. They held that lead due to some great saves by Billy Castoro and some needed blocks by the defense lead by Conor Brock, Ryan Buccellato, Spencer Caporicci, Jack Perrini, Ethan Meringolo and Tommy Esposito until the 16:24 mark in the 2nd half where

GC Wins, GC Wins!

Glenn Cove were able to punch one in and tie the score at 1-1 and momentum was shifting.

Marco Russo put an end to that when he was able to poke the ball at the 18yd box up in the air and followed the ball toward the Glen Cove goal where he out jumped the goalie and headed one into the back of the net to make it 2-1. The back and forth continued as Glen Cove were able to capitalize on a GC penalty and bend the ball around the wall and beat a diving Castoro to tie the game at 2 a piece. Pressure was filling the air as both teams had a few chances leading to a great finish.

The shot seen on Twitter and News 12 that night was a perfectly placed volley into the upper right corner by Finn Connolly from 30 yards out. Rob Patrissi gave one of his long throw ins to toward the Glen Cove goal where it was headed and kicked around (it seemed like an eternity) until it bounced out

Congrats to the captains and team on the Nassau County Championship. towards Connolly who nailed it on a perfect volley (all photographers there missed it) and sealed the game 3-2 with 7:29 left to play.

The midfield of Pica, Poz, Patrissi were able to drop and help the defense fend off Glen Cove for the victory.

Onto the Long Island Championship against a very good Amityville team who advanced after a 6-0 trouncing of Sayville. The Trojans took the long bus ride out to Longwood High School to represent the best of Nassau. The Trojan boys did not waste any time and put several near misses on the Amityville keeper.

GC got the first goal with just 10 minutes into the game when a long ball from

the back connected with Finn Connolly streaking down the sideline was able to beat his defender and slide a nice pass to his soccer mate Nick Bernieri who put it past the keeper for the 1-0 lead.

GC now had to deal with one of the best strikers in the state who is very big and fast. Brock and Buccellato answered the call over and over again. Amityville was able to tie it up with 20 minutes left in the 1st half.

The 2nd half began with some great battles up front by Thompson, Zuniga, Menger, Poz putting the pressure on the warriors. The warriors countered once again and scored with 21:39 left in the 2nd half. GC was down, but continued to push the attack. A counter

Thanks to all the fans that followed the team on its journey.

The second goal was scored by Olivia Cappello assisted by Tara Hollis.

Harborfield had many scoring opportunities but Mackenzie Wehrum was ready letting up only one goal and had 10 saves.

The Trojans remain undefeated with a record of 15-0. The team now advances to the state semifinals against Vestal on Saturday, November 13 at 10 a.m. at Centereach High School. Come cheer on the girls! Hey Red!

GCHS Boys 2021 Soccer journey ends attack which left Brock one on one with Amityville big man Cherry resulted in a close called PK awarded by the Suffolk County referee on GC. Amityville was able to convert and make the score 3-1 with 10:41 left. This Trojan team does not know the word “quit” though and went all out when Bernieri was able to chip a beautiful pass toward the Warrior goal and Steven Zuniga corralled it and put it into the net to make

it 3-2. The Trojans battled till the end, but were not able to get the tying goal. It was a great journey this year for a team that really never played together before and everyone contributed.

We would like to thank Coach Cutter and Coach Scalfani for their time and effort for a wonderful season. We would also like to thank all the seniors and their parents who made it a magical season. Thanks to Seniors- Captain Finn

Connolly, Captain Ryan Buccellato, Captain Connor Brock, Jack Perrini, Ethan Meringolo, Nick Bernieri, Marco Russo, Tanner Schmitt, Houston Kufs, Alex Fridrich, Will Bonvissuto.

Would also like to point out that Finn Connolly finished his GCHS soccer career with a remarkable 45 wins 3 loses and 2 ties which shows a great career and also great teams he played with over the last 3 years. Good luck to

the young Trojan lads who will lead us into next season where we are sure they will push to keep the title in GC. GC finished this season with a 16-2-1 record and ranked #1 in all of the Nassau County and at Number 8 in New York State. Thanks also to Ed Rotundo and Jimmy Connolly for taking the pictures throughout the season.

The Garden City High School Varsity and Junior Varsity Cross Country teams.

Get the news everyone’s reading about!

On Saturday, October 30, the Garden City High School Varsity and Junior Varsity Cross Country teams competed at the Section VIII County Championship meet.

Despite the inclement weather that made the 3.1 mile course at Bethpage State Park more difficult to run, the team did not fail to put out some great performances.

After battling a season filled with injury and sickness, interrupting training and racing, sophomores Jackson Phillips and James Egan were able to achieve 2nd and 3rd places finishes respectively in the Junior Varsity race, taking advantage of the last Junior Varsity race of

the season. Garden City’s success continued in the Varsity race as well with Tyler McAlea achieving All County Honors and leading the Varsity Squad in their race as only a sophomore! Captains Alex Colletti and Andrew Holtzman were both able to secure their all conference honors as well.

Although this was Junior Varsity’s final race of the season, the Varsity Squad is scheduled to run again on Saturday, November 6 at Bethpage in the Section 8 State Qualifier.

Shoutout to the seniors who will not be running next Saturday for having great high school cross country careers as we wish them the best after they graduate.

GC dominates Elmont on Senior Day, 42-7 The Garden City Trojans played Elmont in the first round of the play-offs and once again impressed with a ton of offense and a stifling defense. Jack Cascadden had two rushing touchdowns and RJ Votruba caught two TD passes from QB Luke Schmitt. Francesco Ingrassia ran in one TD as well, to bring the Trojan point tally to a whopping 42. The Elmont Spartans offense never really found their footing and could only score 7 points across the four quarters of play.

It was another great performance for the GC Trojans on Senior Day, when the community recognizes the players and parents who have dedicated time and considerable effort to the program since the GC Thunder days on St Paul’s Field.

The 2021 seniors are Chris Allen, Charlie Cabana, Jack Cascadden, Anthony Cuccia, Robert Derkasch,

Matt Griffith, James Ervolino, Mike Fargione, Gabriel Hinck, Francesco Ingrassia, Jack Karr, Evan Katradis, TJ Krieg, Ryan Maher, Will Paisley, Ryan Palmer, Luke Paskewitz, Jackson Perisa, Will Peters, Phillip Price, Luke Schmitt, Brendan Staub, and Rowan Stenson. They all deserve a tip of the cap and well wishes for their futures!

The boys headed to Grimaldi’s after watching film this past Monday and loved the pizza dinner. To celebrate the win over Elmont, they enjoyed post-game sandwiches from Chick-Fil-A, which is always a favorite. Thanks to the Buccellatos for another great meal.

The GC Trojans will face rival Carey High School this Saturday at 5pm at Hofstra in the semi-finals of the County Playoffs. Come down and show your support for this amazing group of boys! GO TROJANS!
