Library seeks improvement grants The Garden City Public Library Board has been working to obtain outside funds to implement future improvements, including an updated Children’s Room. Thanks to support from Garden City’s two state legislators, additional funding up to $200,000 is possible through the State and Municipal (SAM) Grant program, which can be applied to capital improvements.

The Library was recently nominated by Assemblyman Ed Ra to receive a $50,000 State and Municipal (SAM) Grant for capital improvements. In addition, on November 7, the Library received confirmation that it was nominated for a $150,000 SAM Grant by Senator Kevin Thomas for capital improvements to the Library’s Children’s Room.

Library Director Marianne Malagon said, “We are very grateful to Senator Thomas and Assemblyman Ra for their help.

It will help us to achieve our goals of redesigning the space.” The Library had previously amassed funds for this project, totaling over $145,000, paid in legislative aid to the Library from New York State.

However, the Library Board and Director felt this would only cover cosmetic changes and not an updated Children’s Room. The Director is currently meeting with architects to develop plans to propose to the Library Board for approval.

Library bathrooms project sparks Village, GCPL exchange

TOUCHDOWN!

BY RIKKI N. MASSAND

The Garden City High School Varsity Football team beat East Meadow 42-14 in a playoff game on November 9th. Above, Jack Downey makes the touchdown grab.

At its meeting on Veteran’s Day Monday, November 11, the Garden City Public Library Board of Trustees discussed the completion of the first-floor bathrooms’ renovation work. Village Trustee Colleen Foley, who was appointed the Board of Trustees’ liaison to the Library Board in April, announced that village employees would come in to review and re-evaluate the mirrors placed in the refurbished restrooms as the ones they are outfitted now “may not be the best choice” of product because it is higher and doesn’t tilt.

There’s an overarching effort to standardize appearances and functions of public restrooms across the village-owned facilities in Garden City, according to Foley.

“The GCPL bathrooms are complete but some things came up about the bathrooms. I spoke to one of the other village trustees who was on a tour of village projects and noticed details last week.

We do need to have a mirror on the walls that is able to tilt. I am not sure that this mirror model in there now is the best choice. I spoke with Superintendent of Public Works Joseph DiFrancisco and I believe we may be looking into a different option. The mirrors could be temporarily removed while bathrooms could continue being open for use. There is also a lock situation with one bathroom door that we’ll take care of, and I’m unaware if there is another need to be taken care of right away,” she said.

Another issue identified despite the infrastructure project being done are the hand blowers, with height and strength/power to be investigated. Trustee Foley says over the period of the next month, these and other adjustments could be made.

“There are pros and cons to raising or lowering things with the restrooms but we are going to need to do some minor re-tweaking in them,” she said. Foley commented on her experience with plans for bathroom renovations as she oversaw many similar projects as a Garden City Board of Education trustee.

At the Village Board of Trustees’ meeting four days earlier, on November 7, DiFrancisco spoke about the renovations as he presented slides to the trustees. The Board and residents in attendance viewed images of improvements including new tiles at the children’s restroom, the adult restroom on GCPL’s first floor, as well as the handicapped-accessible/family restroom (two restrooms See page 41

A WORD FROM THE PUBLISHER

Slow down, save lives We were glad to read in the police report this week (published in our Office Cat column) that several arrests were made after police stopped drivers for excessive speed on Cathedral and Hilton Avenues. (The drivers who were arrested had other issues like suspended licenses.)

We’ve seen online complaints and have personally witnessed people driving way too fast on those and other residential streets in Garden City, so it’s good to see that something is being done to slow down traffic. Hopefully this will make it safer and reduce the number of accidents in that area.

With the rise of GPS guidance apps such as Wave and Google Maps, drivers have learned to avoid crowded streets

like Franklin Avenue and instead cut through residential areas. But instead of slowing down to a more sedate speed, drivers seem to instead speed up on the less traveled roads.

The GC Police have also been enforcing the “yield for pedestrians in crosswalks” signs on Seventh Street, which we also applaud. With such a busy street with cars parked on both sides, drivers should be taking it very slowly there as well.

We’d love to hear in coming weeks about stepped up enforcement against drivers who pass stopped school buses.

Again, we’ve seen videos of drivers blowing by the school bus stop signs, and we’d like to see them ticketed too.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Email: Editor@GCNews.com

A more practical approach To the Editor: On November 5th, The Garden City Board of Trustees convened a special meeting to hear and discuss the consultants’ next steps for the St. Paul’s project. The meeting was well attended by residents, owing to proper publicity of it. And residents were allowed a lively Q & A period. This letter will present gleanings of what I heard, and my conclusions.

My previous letter (GCN, Oct. 25th edition) stated that the dreams of several Trustees, and a minority of residents, to produce a major recreation center and preservation of the main building, are looking less likely, owing to the much higher priority to spend on

improving our water system, and thus it would be impossible to fund huge sums on each -- St. Paul’s and water. Water could cost $60 million+ and St. Paul’s $100 million, give or take.

The November 5th meeting reinforced my conclusions!

I heard several trustees indicating greater urgency of repairing our water system. Thus spending for St. Paul’s, at best, needs to both be placed on the back burner or scaled back materially.

Some trustees stated that demolition of the structure cannot be ruled out. They also stated that before going ahead with any development they would require approval of GC residents. Hooray!! I also heard that currently no final development plan exists, pending the outcomes See page 46

The Climate Crisis How old will the children in your life be in ten years? Will your parents or other family members be elderly in 2030? Have you stopped to consider how extreme weather events, such as heatwaves, flash flooding, and hurricanes, may affect the wellbeing of your loved ones in the not-so-distant future?

Although climate change has long been debated in politics, irrefutable scientific evidence demonstrates that climate change is real. Time has run out to continue questioning or ignoring the realities of this crisis. Research from Yale University shows that climate change is becoming a less polit-

ically-polarizing issue in America, as more people witness or live through climate-related disasters. The wide-reaching effects of climate change and the increasing likelihood of future destructive events have heightened awareness and coverage of the issue. After a decade of decline, despite almost universal recognition of the link between greenhouse gas emissions and climate change, in the past year, these emissions have risen 2.5 percent in the US. Thankfully, pathways exist to counteract this complex problem.

Action Items:

1. Encourage Garden City to develop a Climate Action Plan and become a New York State Climate Smart Community.

2. Calculate your own carbon footprint (there’s a simple calculator at See page 44

The Eastern Property Owners’ Association (EPOA) will host its second public meeting of the 2019-2020 term on Tuesday, November 19 at 7:30 p.m. at the Senior Center on Golf Club Lane. The meeting will cover several topics affecting the community including the PSEG Western Nassau Transmission Project, the National Grid Northwest Nassau Reliability Project and the Old Roosevelt Field Contaminated Groundwater Area Superfund Site. Residents will have the opportunity to raise other items of interest and hear updates from the East Trustees and EPOA Officers and Directors.

As part of the EPOA’s commitment to serve, the EPOA will be conducting a “sock drive” at the November 19 meeting. Socks are one of the greatest necessities for those in need, particularly as we approach the winter season. The EPOA would like to encourage all attendees to please bring at least one pair of socks (new socks only; greatest need is for black or dark-colored adult cotton socks) to the November meeting. All donations will be delivered to The INN (Interfaith Nutrition Network)

in Hempstead.

East residents should be on the lookout for the EPOA’s Fall Newsletter, which will be delivered by mail or email (if requested) this month. Included are a series of comprehensive village updates along with a “Facts of the East” article from village historian Bill Bellmer and information on the EPOA scholarship.

The 2020 EPOA Membership Drive is now underway. East residents are invited to join for $20 for 1 year of membership or $40 for 2 years of membership. Dues may be paid through Venmo (@GCEPOA), PayPal (go to www.gcepoa.org and click on Membership) or by check. As a reminder, the EPOA consists of all volunteers but does have ongoing communication-related expenses.

Thank you for your support.

To learn more about the EPOA, how to become a member, upcoming events, and issues concerning the East, you may visit us at our website (www.gcepoa.org), on Facebook (search: “Garden City Eastern Property Owners’ Association”), and on Twitter (@GC_EPOA).

Last month, Girl Scout Junior Troop 1609 visited The Ronald McDonald House here on Long Island. The girls took a tour of the facility, learning about the important support The Ronald McDonald House provides for families with ill children receiving medical treatment nearby. Troop 1609 then went on to bake a variety of treats for the families staying at the facility. The girls were honored to be a small part of the special community that is The Ronald McDonald House.

College admission process ‘Early Start’ presentation at GCPL

BY RIKKI N. MASSAND A presentation by Mike Binder, founder/owner of Syosset-based consulting firm Your College Navigator LLC is scheduled for Monday evening, November 25 starting at 6:45 p.m. at the Garden City Public Library, 60 7th St in Garden City.

The way to get into the college of your choice, according to Your College Navigator, is taking a proactive stance earlier in your high school years and identifying potential best matches for your strengths, interests and abilities.

Binder’s biggest piece of advice for those attending high school in 20192020: “Don’t wait until you have a painful toothache to deal with -- go check in with the dentist regularly and do preventative maintenance. Don’t just wait.” By that he means there’s too often the scenario where parents or students are contacting him or other college admissions prep services to “make miracles happen” and push students’ applications over the top for their destination schools, once their fate has likely been sealed already.

In order to get ahead, high school junior-year students can start reaching out to college campuses and contacts in specific departments of study they are interested in. All it takes is a simple email introduction, a call or message

to inquire about program information, scheduling visits, and finding out the contact persons for college departments.

Binder stresses that students do not wait until the summer before the start of 12th grade -- by January of their junior year in high school, he suggests students decide or at least compile a list of up to ten schools they are thinking of applying to or visiting with their families. More 11th graders are currently working with him for applications and essays as they eye starting college in academic year 2021-’22. He’s commented and informed many area parents on the distinctions between Early Decision, Early Action and Rolling Admissions for students preparing to apply to college.

“The consistent message is START EARLY. A November 1 deadline is set in place for Early Decision or Early Action applications. I have a student who applied on August 10 to a Rolling Admissions program at the college she wants to get into, because there are only 50 admitted per year but the end of October (almost a year prior) that program gets filled,” Binder said.

During the summer prior to a student’s junior year of high school families have an opportunity to visit some colleges and make better informed decisions. Binder learned that every year in September, the University of Wisconsin

holds a special three-day event for exploration of programs and careers in the Accounting field. The key for exploring colleges and eventually applying to them and getting in, Binder says, is rooted in finding the information that will guide you. It is available if you look.

“Ask real questions — and there is no magic question to ask to impress a college. But if you ask the right questions, that might impress them once you demonstrate an understanding.

Students come to me for the college admissions essay and ask me, ‘what should I write?’ in applying to Duke or the University of Michigan. My answer is I know exactly what they should write — Why do you want to go there?

You (a student) have made this college your number one top pick, you have been looking at it for six months, but you come to me to tell me what makes the school right for you. You have to explain that. Have an answer for them that demonstrates you and the college are a great match for each other. Don’t just explain how great the university is — that tells them something they already know and hear from the other applicants. But why is it that you are a good fit for them?” Binder asks.

Students should engage in research about colleges online and based on that, they can easily receive answers to their specific questions early in the

process -- this helps tremendously to narrow the list for their applications and choices. MIT offers prospective students an online admissions “Road Map.” Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh has dedicated staff contacts “for every major offered at the university,” Binder says.

The college essay, while daunting for many applicants and their families, is one more aspect to figure out.

Binder reminds students that there are no magic words; colleges are not looking for uniform examples of great essays that help a competitive student get admitted.

“If there were magic words everyone would know it and that would no longer be magic. I want to read the essay and know why you’d want to attend that college. Don’t tell them how great the school is and how popular it is, they are looking for you as a match. You can’t compliment a school and say, ‘I want to go there because they’re highly ranked.

Duke or University of Chicago knows they are attractive to applicants, they don’t need you to tell them -- that’s why they’ll only have a 10% admit rate,” he said.

Binder spoke about an example of a student preparing to apply to Stanford University, and she and her family were See page 42

THE MAYOR’S UPDATE Mayor@gardencityny.net The Board of Trustees and staff continue to work on numerous projects, including treatment at Village water wells, the stabilization plan for the former St. Paul’s School, bathroom renovations at the Library and other matters. I encourage you to attend Village Board of Trustees meetings; the schedule can be found on the Village’s website, www.gardencityny. net.

Pilot Testing

Pilot testing is currently taking place at Well Nos. 13 and 14. A mini version of the filtration system the Village is looking to purchase is being used for the testing. It uses UV light in a chamber that the water passes through. Peroxide is then injected into it. The UV light reacts with the peroxide to destroy the 1,4-Dioxane. Mini GAC (granulated activated carbon) filters then remove the peroxide from the treated water. The Nassau County Department of Health reviews the results. Pilot tests are required by the Health Department before any filtration system can be installed, according to Joseph DiFrancisco, Public Works superintendent.

Earlier this month, Mr. DiFrancisco and Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi visited Greenlawn to observe a different process to remove 1,4-Dioxane. “This could potentially give us more options for treatment going forward. If the demand for the other product is too great and it creates a shortage or we can’t get it in time, this is potentially another option,” Mr. DiFrancisco said.

be purchased at the door or online at https://www.onthestage.com/show/ garden-city-high-school/disneys-highschool-musical-92002. Ticket prices are $12 for general admission and $10 for students and senior citizens. For more information or group sales, please call (516) 478-2531.

BY GARY SIMEONE Waiting in a doctor’s office can be a strenuous experience for many people.

A new mobile medical service called OnCallCare has recently opened to help alleviate the stress and long waiting times of primary care providers and urgent care clinics.

OnCallCare, which officially opened for business on October 28, offers community physician’s assistants who travel to people’s homes for house calls to deliver necessary medical treatment.

The PAs are located in the communities of West Hempstead, Malverne and most recently, Garden City.

“What differentiates us from your typical urgent care clinics is that we come to see you at your home and we

provide the same assistance each time as opposed to a revolving door of providers,” said Andrew Weissman, founder and lead PA at OnCallCare. “We offer more of a personalized touch in medical care, which is something that is severely lacking nowadays. With OnCall, you don’t have to deal with an overtaxed healthcare system with its surprise bills, hours in an emergency room and dragging toddlers to an urgent care in the middle of the night.”

The medical service offers one physician assistant per community who comes to the house and provides things like blood pressure and heart monitors and all types of medications.

Weissman said this service is especially beneficial for elderly patients who

are homebound, working families and for children who are home sick from school.

“We take the time factor into consideration where working parents are constantly on the go and they need someone to stay and take care of a sick child,” said Weissman. “Whether it is a fifteen-minute visit to make sure a patient’s meds are on track or a halfhour visit to ensure a proper diagnosis, OnCallCare offers a more intimate relationship which is different than your

primary doctor experience.”

Weissman said before opening in Garden City, he was providing the service on a smaller scale in Malverne and West Hempstead for the last nine years.

“After seeing people out of their element inside a doctor’s office where they’re having to take off from work and feel like nothing is being done, I knew there was a call for this type of service.

Now they can be inside their house and get whatever they need done while being treated by a PA at the same time.”

Named to Forbes Best-in-State list of wealth advisors Peter Costello, a vice president, Financial Advisor in Morgan Stanley’s Garden City Wealth Management office, has been named to Forbes Magazine’s 2019 list of America’s Best-in-State NextGen Wealth Advisors.

Forbes’ Best-in-State Next-Gen Wealth Advisors list comprises a select group of individuals who represent the future of the wealth management industry. The ranking, developed by Forbes’ partner SHOOK Research, is based on an algorithm of qualitative and quanti-

tative data, rating thousands of wealth advisors and weighing factors like revenue trends, AUM, compliance records, industry experience and best practices learned through telephone and in-person interviews.

“I am pleased that Peter Costello is representing Morgan Stanley,” commented Jeff Reiss, complex manager of Morgan Stanley’s Garden City office.

“To be named to this list recognizes Peter’s professionalism and dedication to the needs of his valued clients.”

Sgt. Walsh grew up in Valley Stream.

He received an associate degree from

Nassau Community College and a bachelor’s degree from John Jay College.

He joined the New York City Police Department in 1995 and upon graduation from the Police Academy was assigned to work in the 114th Precinct in Queens.

During his tenure in Garden City, he has served as field training officer for new recruits and has proven himself to be a leader among his peers.

“We are confident Sergeant Walsh will continue the tradition of excellence and professionalism we have come to know and expect from our Police Department,” Commissioner Jackson said.

This is Hilton Avenue near Seventh Street looking NE at Garden City’s first two commercial buildings. The one on the left was built in 1874 and the one on the right in 1875. This is where Garden City’s business district began. The building on the right has Rushmore Pharmacy on the left and Poole’s dry goods store on the right. On the second floor on the right was Garden City’s first school room. The building on the left, in the 1920’s would house the Garden City Bank and Hubbell Klapper Realty. This photo dates to around 1890.

Today, the building on the right looks pretty much the same but the building on the left has had a third floor added and white columns in front. They remain two of the oldest structures left in Garden City today.

Master Storyteller to present “Living with History” On Thursday, November 21, at 1:30 p.m. in the GC Casino, the Community Club will continue its 100th year anniversary celebration with the return of master storyteller Elizabeth Rowe, who will charm us with her enchanting presentation – “Living with History”.

As she so poetically puts it, “Story, the operative word in History, is what connects us, not only to each other, but to a collective past. As, growing up, I listened to my parents’ stories, I was unaware that I was absorbing myriad history lessons.

In sharing such experiences, I hope to engender the practice of family storytelling: sharing your own personal past with children and grandchildren, establishing roots that will lead to full blossoming.”

Elizabeth Rowe is a professional storyteller from Oceanside, NY. For over 30

years she’s been sharing her repertoire of folk tales, myths, legends, short stories and personal tales in schools, libraries, museums, conferences and festivals throughout the metropolitan area. She recently released her first CD, “Love Stories…for Better or for Worse.”

The program is open to guests and nonmembers for a $5.00 fee. So, join us for a delightful story-filled afternoon and stay for refreshments afterwards!

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

THE VIEW FROM HERE

Senator Warren’s Wealth Tax

BY BOB MORGAN, JR. It may never be enacted, but the wealth tax proposed by Massachusetts senator and presidential aspirant Elizabeth Warren (and generally supported by Senator Bernie Sanders) would raise numerous economic and legal issues as well as roil investment and financial markets.

Of course, there is reason for doubt that even if Senator Warren is elected president and Democrats gain control of the Senate, as well as retain the House of Representatives, the wealth tax will become law.

Opposition to the tax is substantial, even among Democrats, some of whom are studying simpler ways of taxing the wealthy.

There is also a substantial legal issue involving the wealth tax. The Constitution requires that a “direct tax” imposed by Congress must be apportioned among the states based on their population. While the federal income tax is specifically permitted by the 16th Amendment, Constitutional scholars are split over whether a wealth tax is an impermissible form of direct tax.

If enacted in its current form, Ms. Warren’s wealth tax, designed as a funding mechanism for her Medicare for All proposal, would kick in at a wealth level of $50 million. Affected households would pay a 2 percent annual tax on any additional assets in excess of $50 million. For taxpayers with assets in excess of $1 billion, the marginal rate would climb to 6 percent (up from the 3 percent she initially proposed).

One obvious complicating aspect of the wealth tax is that it would require all assets held by covered taxpayers to be valued annually, rather than just at sale. In addition to being a time consuming process (except for assets with a readily ascertainable value like exchange traded securities), the annual valuation would create much room for argument about the current value of many relatively hard to value assets, including, for example, interest in a family business, real estate, collectibles and many other types of assets.

Senator Warren apparently plans to permit taxpayers to pay over a portion of illiquid assets to the gov-

ernment, but that would make the government a minority shareholder in closely held businesses, certainly not an optimal result.

Further, there would be obvious incentive for lowball appraisals, which would compromise the integrity of the tax system.

The wealth tax might also create an incentive for rich taxpayers to expatriate and relocate to a more tax-friendly jurisdiction. While the expatriation process is complicated under current tax law, it can be done.

In addition to losing most future tax payments from taxpayers going elsewhere, current U.S. estate tax rules make it unlikely that these former Americans will invest much again in the United States.

One potential impact of the wealth tax is that it could change the investment habits of the very wealthy. If a 6 percent annual return is required just to break even, big investors might turn away from low risk investments such as U.S. treasuries and municipal bonds in favor of higher risk, higher return private equity investments, a course that pension funds have already taken.

They might also shun conservative but profitable investments in job creating industries..

The wealth tax also raises a number of issues affecting people who are very unlikely to accumulate $50 million in assets. (Wealth tax opponents warn that the asset level is likely to be lowered over time.) A leading Democratic economic voice, former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers, argues that the wealth tax will discourage hiring, particularly of low-skilled workers, by firms that currently provide generous benefits.

In addition, Mr. Summers believes that the tax will have a substantial adverse effect on the stock market.

Of course, this is the place where so many rank and file employees have parked the bulk of their 401(k) balances.

There is likely a reason that many European countries that formerly had a wealth tax have now abandoned it. In sum, even if you like the Medicare for All idea (the subject of a future column), the wealth tax idea seems problematic at best.

Music Academy holds inaugural fundraiser for music groups

BY GARY SIMEONE It was a night of music, dancing and dining at the Inn at New Hyde Park last Friday, as the Music Academy Foundation held its inaugural fundraiser. The Foundation, which is the charitable arm of the Music Academy of Garden City, raised $4500 for two important causes. The donations went to the Elmont public school district, to purchase musical instruments, and the Garden City Friends of Music Foundation.

The event was entitled ‘Motown at the INN.’ “It was a great night of dancing speeches great food and a cocktail hour that ran from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m,” said Peter Coco, founder of the Music Academy of Garden City and president of the Music Academy Foundation . “We had a couple of local bands perform and most importantly raised money for two very worthwhile causes.”

One of the highlights of the evening included four students of the Music Academy performing musical renditions for the crowd. Another performing band was the Los Bad Hombres, a very popular band from Garden City.

Coco, one of the headline speakers at the event, spoke about the importance of music and how it has shaped his life thus far.

“As a student, I experienced music in this way and was profoundly impacted by

my teachers as they gave of themselves both in the classroom and on the bandstand,” said Coco. “The lessons they taught me have stayed with me all these years and have shaped the person I have become.

The impact that music and music education have had on all aspects of my life and success cannot be overstated.”

He spoke about the importance of contributions in music and why it was necessary to start this charitable foundation to help those.

“I gathered people that I knew shared my passion for and commitment to spreading the joy and necessity of music, and together we envisioned an organization whose mission is to make our community a performing arts and cultural hub on Long Island,” said Coco. “We’ve provided valuable resources such as instruments to underserved schools, funding educational outreach, including scholarships and a pre-college jazz program, spearheading concert series and connecting students with world-class musicians and educators.”

The night was also filled with raffle drawings and great prizes, including a grand prize Gibson ES35 guitar, which was valued at $3,000.

Andrew Andron, a Garden City resident and up and coming jazz pianist, wowed the crowd with his musical talent during the cocktail hour portion of the night.

The Truth About Aging

By Dr Kelly Mattone Aging is inevitable of course, however before we can try to fight it, fix it, or (gasp) accept it, it’s important to understand the root cause of aging.

When you see visible signs of aging such as dryness, lines, wrinkles, jowls or even sagging skin, what your body is experiencing is a loss of collagen and hyaluronic acid. Collagen is a protein that provides the structural framework of your skin and keeps it smooth, firm and resilient while hyaluronic acid (HA), is a carbohydrate whose job is to absorb water into your skin to keep it plump, soft and hydrated.

Therefore, the goal of all antiaging treatments is to improve the skin’s appearance by increasing collagen and hyaluronic acid. While there are many options available, Ultherapy is considered the gold standard as it is the only procedure that can re-grow brand new collagen in your skin.

Ultherapy is a non-surgical procedure that uses the power of ultrasound to work deep below the skin’s surface

to revive and create new collagen, distinguishing it as the only FDA cleared procedure to LIFT and tighten your brows, jowls and neck. It is non-invasive and there is no downtime.

Microneedling is a virtually painless skin rejuvenating procedure that results in the release of growth factors that increase collagen and elastin levels, restoring your skin’s natural elasticity and glow.

Fibroblast skin tightening is a revolutionary method of facial rejuvenation that stimulates collagen production and significantly tightens, lifts, resurfaces and regenerates the skin.

Dermal fillers such as, Restylane and Juvederm are hyaluronic acid gels that are injected directly into the skin to act as your own naturally occurring hyaluronic acid. These HA fillers soften laugh lines and enhance cheeks and lips immediately.

A consultation with your cosmetic physician is the best way to determine which procedure is right for you.

IN MEMORIAM

George V. Rose

George V. Rose 1930-2019

George V. Rose, the former Music Director and Faculty Chair of The Waldorf School of Garden City passed away on November 6th. He was 89 years old. He is survived by his wife and former faculty member Faith Rose, and his five children: Rebecca ’73, Elizabeth ’76, Charles ’78, Thomas ’82, and Faith ’86.

Mr. Rose has been associated with The Waldorf School of Garden City since 1962 when he joined the school as the Head of the Music Department. In 1979 he became the High School Chair and served in that capacity until 1981 at which time he assumed the position of Faculty Chair, a position he held for over a decade. With the creation of the Faculty Council in 1993, Mr. Rose continued to serve the School in a leadership position until his retirement in 1997. “George Rose’s leadership in our School defined an era,” said Roland Rothenbucher, High School Chair.

“The years with George at the helm were marked by George’s big heart and generous soul. He genuinely delighted in his students’ achievements in the classroom, on stage, and on the playing fields, and through his magical personal qualities the School became a beehive of cultural activities in the Garden City Community.”

Mr. Rose was an active Board Member of the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America (AWSNA) and the New York State Association of Independent Schools (NYSAIS). Under his guidance, the School was successful in receiving several foundation grants, including a prestigious Edward E. Ford Foundation Grant in 1986 for music program enhancements.

Raised in the Black Hills of South Dakota, in the gold-mining town of Lead, Mr. Rose attended Oberlin Conservatory of Music, where he received his undergraduate degree and studied Voice and Conducting. Mr.

Rose later earned a Master’s degree in Music from New York University. From 1953 to 1955, he served in the Special Services Division of the U.S. Army and conducted the Fort Dix Soldier’s Chorus on the ABC television show “Soldier Parade,” with Arlene Francis.

During the late 1950s, Mr. Rose taught music at Brooklyn Friends School and the Great Neck Public Schools. He also was the Choral Director at King’s Point Merchant Marine Academy.

Throughout his tenure at the Waldorf School, Mr. Rose always taught music, and under his tutelage choirs from the school appeared in Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., New York, Boston, and other cultural centers. He made three European tours with the critically acclaimed Waldorf Singers in 1971, 1981, and 1994. The Class of 1997 dedicated the yearbook to Mr. Rose upon his retirement, stating: “Your contribution to the entire Waldorf community, including the special extension of your love to our class, have been priceless. This exceptional quality is something we hope to carry with us as we go out into the world.”

Mr. Rose founded The Waldorf Choral Society (WCS), which he conducted for 39 years. WCS first began rehearsals in the fall of 1964 and held its inaugural concert in 1965. He embraced the early music movement and established an annual two-day Bach Festival in the early 1970s. The festival featured reconstructed baroque instruments, which captured the distinctive, historic timbre of the period. He also conducted the Great Neck Choral Society for 21 years.

Mr. Rose was honored numerous times by his students and colleagues for his leadership and his ability to inspire students and musicians. During the 1999-2000 school year an endowed scholarship, The George V. Rose Music Fund, was established, and in 2004 he received the Franz E. Winkler Leadership Award at the Waldorf School Gala.

Mr. Rose will be missed for his devotion to the School. He shared his love of music, leaving us an enduring legacy and a gift that enriched our entire community. “We will forever be grateful to Mr. Rose for blessing us for so long with his remarkable talents. His leadership, his insight, his love, and his gift of song will always be remembered and cherished by our community. We take comfort in knowing that choirs of angels will now receive his legendary guidance,” said Trustee, Legal Counsel, and Alumni Parent, Jay Dorman.

Services will be held at 10:00 am, Saturday, November 9th, at the Cathedral of the Incarnation, 50 Cathedral Ave, Garden City, NY 11530.

Memorial contributions may be made to The George V. Rose Music Scholarship Fund in memory of Mr. Rose.

New Cathedral class answers questions on faith The Cathedral of the Incarnation is offering a new 5-week series on Sunday mornings called “Discovery for the Inquiring Mind” led by the Rev. Michael Delaney, Canon Pastor at the Cathedral. The series will cover a variety of commonly asked questions about faith, such as: What does it mean to be a Christian in the 21st century? What is the difference between the Episcopal Church and the Roman Catholic Church? What is the significance of baptism and confirmation? Participants will be invited to ask any questions about Christianity

and spirituality they may have.

The series takes place from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Sundays beginning November 24 at the Mercer School of Theology, 65 4th Street on the cathedral campus. The morning begins with coffee, bagels and snacks before the group gathers at 10:15 a.m. to begin the discussion. Free registration is available at tinyurl.com/CathedralDiscovery2019.

Adelphi PAC to host screening of Gluck’s “Orphée et Euridice” Filmed live at the Teatro alla Scala in Milano, Gluck’s “Orphée et Euridice” comes to the Adelphi University Performing Arts Center (PAC) on Saturday, November 16. The screening of the opera is sung in French with English subtitles.

Juan Diego Flórez plays the virtuoso role of Orphée in La Scala’s first-ever staging of Gluck’s opera in its French version.

He dazzled audiences and critics alike.

“Juan Diego Flórez delivered a lesson in style,” says the Corriere della Sera. “His tone is darker and his projection more self-effacing than in the past, but class is permanent. His agility and legato are utterly thrilling. The ovations were never-ending.”

The performance also stars Christiane Karg and Fatma Said under the baton of Michele Mariotti.

Interfaith Nutrition Network forum at Comm Church

Ms. Cynthia Sucich

BY MELVA VICTORINO On Sunday, November 17, at 9:15 – 10:15 a.m., Cynthia Sucich will speak at the Sunday Forum Series at Garden City Community Church (GCCC) on Serving the Impoverished on Long Island With Dignity, Respect and Love.

Ms. Sucich will also be at the 10:30 Service to represent the Interfaith Nutrition Network (The INN) to formally accept the special annual contribution from GCCC, as part of the congregation’s witness to ministry. During this service, the service ministry leaders of GCCC will be recognized as an affirmation of their generosity of time and talents.

Cynthia Sucich is the Chief Development Officer of Corporate & Community Relations for The INN, a Long Island-based nonprofit organization who serves hungry and homeless Long Islanders by providing various supportive services, to those in need.

The agency’s ultimate goal is to help people become self-sufficient.

Ms. Sucich joined The INN’s family in 2006. During that time, she has also worked as the Speakers’ Bureau Coordinator, Director of Communications and Director of Corporate & Community Relations. She is a highly motivated professional with solid and diverse experience in communications, volunteer and staff management, as well as the development of long-term corporate and community partnerships.

As an inspirational speaker, her passion and enthusiasm comes from the joy she has in educating the public about the issues of hunger and homelessness on Long Island, speaking about the dignity and respect The INN shows to everyone and witnessing the spirit of giving by many in the community.

One of Ms. Sucich’s favorite quotes comes from the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Junior who said, “Everyone can be great because anyone can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace and a soul generated by love.”

Ms. Sucich loves connecting people with The INN and providing them with experiences that are truly life changing. When she finds time for herself, she enjoys creating beautiful memories with her family and mentoring women who are struggling and/or in need of a little hope.

The vision of The INN is to transform lives by addressing the issues of hunger, homelessness and profound poverty through awareness, action and generosity.

Founded in 1983 as a single soup kitchen run by a small group of concerned volunteers, The INN, delivers its services through the largest soup kitchen on Long Island, emergency homeless shelters, and a Long Term Housing Program. In 2016, The INN opened the Center for Transformative Change (CTC), a community resource center and clothing boutique which offers those in need a host of extended referrals and support services in a dignified and respectful manner to help them achieve self-sufficiency.

A dedicated staff, committed volunteers and broad-based community support help The INN maintain its position as one of Long Island’s largest private social service agencies rated as a 4-star charity from Charity Navigator. For more information, please visit www. the-inn.org or call (516) 486-8506.

GCCC has been a longtime supporter of The INN and the Mary Brennan INN. The INN operates the Mary Brennan INN, the largest soup kitchen on Long Island where Monday through Friday, 1,300 hot, nutritious meals are served and 150 guests take hot showers every week. There is a guest choice pantry for free, non-perishable food that is available to the guests for weekend needs.

Approximately 62,412 meals are served annually. The soup kitchen is staffed mainly by 100 volunteers of all ages, creeds and backgrounds in addition to a team of three trained professionals.

There are no questions asked of anyone in need, and everyone is referred to as a guest and treated with dignity and respect. The Mary Brennan INN has a “no questions asked” policy. Walking

through the door of the soup kitchen guarantees not only a hot, nutritious five-course meal, but a safe space environment, free of judgment, where all requests for help are addressed in a dignified and swift manner.

In addition to the Mary Brennan INN, for more than 30 years The INN has also provided support and assistance to over 25 individual community soup kitchen efforts who have provided over 300,000 meals annually across Long Island. Utilizing The INN’s guidance and support, these individual community soup kitchens have now decided to operate independently of The INN, and some have become their own notfor-profit organizations, thanks to the years of support from their local communities and The INN. The Garden City Community Church is part of the United Church of Christ and is an Open and Affirming congregation that welcomes people of all ages, races, gender identities, and sexual orientations to participate in the life of its community. Worship services are Sundays at 8:30 a.m. in our Chapel and at 10:30 a.m. in our Sanctuary. Wednesday Service is at 8:00 p.m. in Gardner Hall.

Members of the Colonel Aaron Ogden Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution were among the 120 people who turned out in force on Veterans Day, November 11, to support our veterans at the annual VeteranPatient Luncheon at Captain Bill’s Restaurant in Bay Shore. Working to enrich the lives of veterans is a traditional pillar of the NSDAR across the nation.

District X & XI Daughters in 16 NSDAR chapters from Queens to the Hamptons, attend this event, making the luncheon an annual success.

Chapter Regent Carla Hall D’Ambra and 13 members of the Garden City

based chapter, along with several husbands, attended the luncheon.

Money was generously raised for the St. Albans Medical Center in Queens and the Northport Veterans Administration Hospital in Suffolk.

Daughters also donated a truckload of food for two local food pantries that serve veterans, and new warm blankets were collected for the Veteran’s Place, a veteran’s shelter in Yaphank.

Luncheon attendees were fascinated to learn about the work of the “America’s VetDogs” program, a notfor-profit that supplies service dogs to veterans with disabilities, allowing those who’ve served our country

Sharon Kay, Southhampton Chapter; Carla Hall D’Ambra, CAO Chapter Regent; Louise Rider, CAO National Defense Chair to live in self-reliance. Trained for two years, these dogs assist veterans suffering from Post Traumatic Stress and a variety of other challenges our beloved veterans face. The service dogs attending the luncheon stole the show.

Daughters were happy to express their appreciation by writing out

Thanksgiving cards thanking our veterans for their service and wishing them a happy holiday.

For more information on how you can donate to this amazing service dog program, visit America’s VetDogs’ website at www.vetdogs.org or call (631) 930-9090.

GCMS student takes second in national science competition

GCMS student Caroline Crouchley displays an award she won at last year’s Long Island Science Congress for a project that won her second in the nation in this year’s 3M Young Scientist Challenge.

Congratulations to Garden City Middle School eighth-grader Caroline Crouchley, who has been named the second place winner in the 3M Young Scientist Challenge, the nation’s premier middle school science competition recognizing scientific thinking, communication and curiosity in students grades 5–8.

Caroline developed a sustainable method of public transportation that utilizes renewable energy sources for trains rather than fossil fuels. Her project, “Improving Lives: A Light at the End of the Tunnel,” focuses on reducing transportation emissions globally. Caroline said her inspira-

tion came from the large amount of traffic on Long Island she has experienced and the resulting air quality advisories she has seen.

“It really made me think about the quality of the air I am breathing,” Caroline said. “Reducing transportation emissions is one of the most important steps in fighting air pollution and global warming. Public transportation such as trains is a great start to reducing our emissions.”

Caroline built a new train prototype powered by solar energy that is stored in a battery. From this she created and stored compressed air

GCMS student Caroline Crouchley (left) was invited to ring the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange for placing second in the nation in this year’s 3M Young Scientist Challenge. She was joined by her 3M mentor, Kandyce Bohannon. to ultimately power the train. In June, Caroline was named one of 10 national finalists in the 3M competition. Over the summer and this fall, she worked with a 3M mentor, Kandyce Bohannon. Teachers Dr. Steve Gordon, Mike Stano, Dr. Paris Zaferiou and Garden City 6-12 Science Curriculum Coordinator Dr. Elena Cascio have also helped Caroline at different stages of her project.

“Caroline worked hard on her project and it is wonderful that her creativity and perseverance were recognized,” said Dr. Cascio. “We are really proud of her accomplishments!”

For advancing to the finals,

Caroline was awarded a prize of $1,000. Additionally, she, along with the other two top winners, were invited to ring the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange.

“Congratulations to Caroline, who is an extremely talented student,” said Superintendent of Schools Dr. Kusum Sinha. “Her ingenuity in addressing a real world environmental concern is inspiring and promising for the future of global sustainability. This achievement is very impressive, and we are all very proud of her.”

Trustee Brian C. Daughney said the village’s staff completed the project in about an eight-month time frame, or less. “Since the village decided to take it over after this was languishing for about four or five years, is that correct?” he asked DiFrancisco, who stated that was correct.

Library Board Chairman J. Randolph Colahan was perturbed when he heard Daughney’s comments on the bathroom renovation, as it’s the most recent aimed at library issues but not the first.

“There seems to be comments from the Village Board -- not from you Trustee Foley -- about the bathrooms and that progress wasn’t made until the village took that over. I have been on the Library Board since 2002 and I can go back to roofing, the elevator, etc. and etc. When the GCPL Board works with the village then the village tells us to defer from one year to another -- which was the case with the bathrooms -- to hear it said that ‘the village took it over and got it done’ -- that dialogue is inappropriate. It really demeans that this Library Board for its efforts,” he stated on Monday.

Trustee Foley took the opportunity to explain her position as liaison, as she is trying to work for better communication between two boards in the village and to not dwell on past behaviors, emotions or comments.

“I am the liaison currently and it’s my intention to have mutual respect between the two boards. Chairman Colahan and I have talked about the progress. I find that dwelling on past comments brings up a lot of emotions from people who have dedicated a lot of time on both sides. I am trying to focus on where I am now and moving forward from this point, because I think that is the most productive way we can work in my time as library liaison. I just want to focus on positive things that are going to come to the library and on some items we may disagree or have spirited conversations. I feel we are trying to work things through and all I can do is go forward. I can’t go back to the past because I don’t think it is productive,” she told the Library Board November 11.

Some of Monday’s conversations at the Library Board carried comparisons to heavy “traffic” and use of restrooms in village facilities from the senior center to the St. Paul’s comfort station, which required an add-on to its rehabilitation project, specifically revised plans for the interior tile work with a

resolution approved on October 3 after the village trustees temporarily suspended their meeting rules to add items related to both library and St. Paul’s restroom projects. The Board approved an additional $54,772, allocated from the 2019-2020 Capital Project account to B&B Contracting Group for revision of the St. Paul’s comfort station tiles.

At the same time, the Board approved a change order of $9,750 for Flagship Contractors of Brooklyn working on the GCPL bathrooms, to replace the condensate drain line located in the wall of the first floor.

Next, Foley noted that she spoke with Deputy Mayor Robert Bolebruch, the trustees’ commissioner of Finance, and he advises there may be funds in the village budget to address upgrades for key fobs, locks, and re-keying of cylinders on doors at GCPL, although Foley cautions that this upgrade and security planning “could be costly.”

The Library Board asked Foley about village trustees’ continuing interest in reviewing library infrastructure and examining what GCPL needs. She explained that Trustee Daughney and Trustee Mark Hyer routinely visit and review village facility projects, and Mayor Theresa Trouvé is a frequent library patron, although Foley was unsure if she’s evaluated project work at GCPL lately.

Work TBD on Lower Level Rooms One more item for the library building that Foley commented on was the potential of painting and refurbishing the library’s lower level large program room and smaller meeting room which are side-by-side. In particular the changing of carpet in the small meeting room was mentioned.

“It does appear we may be able to fund that in this capital project (fiscal) year. But I know the smaller room has generated conversation on what should go to cover the floors and what the Library Board would want done.

Initially this was about the paint on the walls and replacement of carpet. The large meeting room also involves staining and molding, a little more extensive there with the larger carpeted area, so I am not sure what will be the decisions on each room,” Foley said.

Chairman Colahan centered the discussion on the meeting room’s floor, and Library Trustee Charles Murphy pointed to an example down the hallway of GCPL’s basement with laminate. He says carpet led to concerns over children’s programs involving paint, cray-

on and other material issues.

Depending on the choices with floors of the two lower-level rooms, the paint and outfitting of each room could be more than $25,000, Foley said. She added that any upcoming projects at GCPL would need to fit the village’s project schedule which includes DPW paving roads and completing larger tasks.

“DPW will need to coordinate when to complete the rooms. I would assume they won’t be done at the same time.

And then there’s the choice of flooring for the meeting room depends on what is available and within the constraints of the budget,” she said.

GCPL Friends Book Sale Success The 501(c)3 nonprofit Friends of Garden City Public Library had a very successful book sale and bake sale over the second weekend in November, raising approximately $4,000 in proceeds.

On November 11 Friends’ President Nancy Minett noted that the $4,000 sum from November’s sale was an increase over the fall 2018 Friends’ book sale but a little short of the amount raised during the spring 2019 sale. In May, after the last Friends Book Sale May 4 and 5 and a month ahead of the Friends’ annual meeting and performance at GCPL (in June) Minett announced that between $40,000 and $46,000 have been raised annually with Friends group events including the twice-a-year book sales.

Library Director Marianne Malagon noted that Friends’ fundraising will turn into direct contributions towards library programming, events and special projects. At the time Minett said direct contributions to GCPL programs and projects have usually ranged from $25,000 to $31,000, with an additional $13,000 for the Friends’ newsletter.

Minett commented that the book sale achieves more than fundraising on the days it takes place; people are drawn into the Garden City Public Library for the special event and to peruse for their own book collections. This time, according to Minett, several attendees

expressed an interest in joining the Friends as members and volunteering as “bookworms” or to work the book/ bake sales and special programs.

“It is great for community relations as well as a fundraiser. I think a lot of people look forward to these sales twice a year. We have seen a lot of faces returning as well as new patrons,” she said. Maguire later told GCPL trustees seven new Friends members signed up during the November 9 and 10 sale.

Library Board Trustee Charles Murphy asked if starting December 1 the Friends would again be accepting donations of books. Maguire said there may be some lead time for donations to be accepted throughout the year’s end.

At prior Library Board meetings this year, the Friends of GCPL book room on the lower level was the subject of scrutiny as it underwent cleaning and reorganizations. Minett said the unsold books from November were sorted easily in the fresher, more efficient space and it will be easier to arrange books for future sales, including the next one in spring 2020. There’s also enough room for continuing the Friends’ collections.

Library Board Chairman Colahan said on Monday that the Friends have worked hard and the book room is “amazingly clean” despite the sales held twice a year. He offered compliments to three volunteers -- Minett, Mary Maguire and Cynthia Bednarz. Maguire said it’s a beautiful setting and she’s noticed that working long hours in the book room feels better without as much dust as before.

Library Director Marianne Malagon commented that since GCPL administration had requested additional space inside the Friends room for library materials “that aren’t needed on frontline shelves.” She told library trustees some internal “reclassification” projects for books were on hold due because a few GCPL staffers were out on leave.

“It is our intention to start moving some of those backburner collection items downstairs as soon as possible,” Malagon noted.

Library seeks improvement grants From page 1 Colahan stated, “Thank you to our current state representatives State Senator Kevin Thomas and State Assemblyman Ed Ra for procuring the current grants and to former State Senator Kemp Hannon for procuring previous grants. The Board appreciates Director Malagon’s persistence in following up on this funding. The Library Board and Director are currently reviewing and updating a previous Space Study from several years ago. The funds will go a long way to supporting this effort and achieving our goals to update the

Library. Once the Library Board and Director review the plans, the Library Board and Director plan to work closely with the Village Department of Public Works, Village Administration and Village Board to finalize and implement plans. This may well include requesting additional funding in the Library Capital Budget from the Village as needed.”

Final approval of these grants is subject to review and consent by the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York (DASNY) and other state agencies.

College admission ‘Early Start’ presentation From page 6 planning to visit California and see Stanford during President’s week in February of her junior year. The student wanted to major in East Asian Studies, and there was an online form to schedule a visit for the school and program. But when the student tried the website, every visit had already been booked, mainly by kids in their senior year.

Binder says persistence will always pay off. The student looked up a contact who works with current collegians in the East Asian Studies program, a counselor, and she wrote an email introducing herself and her interests in courses in Chinese culture and history. Not only did that outreach and little extra effort put her in touch with the right person, the contact at Stanford went out of her way to schedule a separate visit and tour on the campus for the applicant and her family.

Months later, a follow-up series of emails earned the applicant a good word during her application process from the person she reached out to.

“The contact put the date together for her, met her there and she got her to tour two classes and spend a few hours at Stanford with professors and students in the East Asian Studies program. The young lady went out and showed the true interests she had in this course -- not thinking at the very last minute, ‘what can I do to impress Stanford, one of the most competitive colleges?’

That initiative impresses Stanford,. Many students who seize control early on and often continue doing so, and persistence and follow-up assists in getting them into schools they dream of attending. They are the top students,” he explained.

A few increasingly popular college picks in 2019 among competitive students Binder has met with include Duke, UPenn, Brown University, Johns Hopkins and Vanderbilt.

But some families of students in top Nassau County school districts still express distaste and issues with a lack of namebrand recognition, and that has impacted the lists students’ have for applications. Binder educates both parents and students about colleges and par-

ticular S.T.E.M.-focused programs they had never given a chance to because the name seemed unusual, especially among their peer groups.

“I’ve had clients referred to me, and parents jump at the opportunity for me to meet with them and their son who had average grades around 84. Some of the target schools were unrealistic based on his qualifications, and they were unaware of some other schools that would make a good fit. He/ they had not looked beyond name brands everyone else would apply to,” he said.

Binder says for students not ready to examine particular majors and programs at the college level, they and their families should start by visiting schools and contacting admissions to ask one great question: “Could you help us better understand what resources the college has or programs that exist to help a student determine the program they would want to major in?” Too often, considering the assistance comes secondary to the name brand and reputation for quality, or popularity, a school carries.

For over four years Binder has email-blasted out and posted monthly newsletters, offering a free report on college admissions and trends in higher education. Binder authored two recent articles in his October 2019 newsletter, including a report examining college majors and “career choice” with the theme of Public Administration. Each newsletter examines a different career field to broaden perspectives of students, families and prospective applicants. His Public Administration careers topic lists positions students may become familiar within their hometowns and counties, such as jobs like urban & regional planners, city managers, foreign service officers, auditors, budget analysts, political scientists, labor management relations specialists, industrial relations specialist, public utilities specialists, health care administrators, criminal investigators and customs inspectors.

3. Plant more trees, or donate to an organization, such as Onetreeplanted. org, which is committed to protecting forests.

4. Join us for a Sustainability and Climate event on November 21st to learn about more ways that you can combat climate change.

Why You Should Care: The Timeline

Time is of the essence. The accumulating adverse effects of climate change are commencing more rapidly than scientists originally predicted. We are entering the age of environmental crisis and chaos as a result of compounding human activities that have compromised our climate. Despite growing scientific consensus and public awareness, meaningful action to mitigate the effects of climate change continue to evade us. We can no longer wait to act on climate change expecting to solve this problem in the future. Instead, we must take responsible action on behalf of the climate now.

The United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released a devastating analysis of the consequences to Earth if we do not work collectively to cut global carbon dioxide emissions by 45% within the next eleven years to cap temperature change at 1.5ºC, and continue to lower carbon outputs to net-zero by 2050.

The industry-constructed debate over climate change appears to have lost momentum as a critical mass of individuals have felt the direct consequences of natural disasters. Our own experiences during Superstorm Sandy remind us that these disasters are becoming more frequent and damaging. They are exacerbated, in large part, by human environmental impact.

Research from the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication found a growing shift in perceptions about climate change across demographics.

Researchers found that the proportion of Americans who identify as ‘very worried’ about climate change has more than tripled since 2011.

Why You Should Care: Economics

The National Climate Assessment (NCA) is a mandated report that is released every four years. The latest report, released in November 2018, quantified the enormous and harmful effects of climate change in each region of the United States. The report predicts that continued drought, intensifying storms, and an increasing number of wildfires will cause a loss of infrastructure that could cost the United States hundreds of billions of dollars annually. From 1908-2018 the annual average cost for billion-dollar disasters

in the US was $42.8 billion (Consumer Price Index-adjusted). Yet, in the past five years, from 2014-2018, the cost was just under $100 billion per year. This doubled cost, which is likely partly due to the country’s aging infrastructure, clearly demonstrates that disasters are rapidly becoming more expensive. The reliability of climate science and economics paired with devastating climate events calls into question the sensibility of the continued absence of climate mitigation policies and practices.

Why You Should Care: Extinction and Ecological Devastation

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, climate change gravely affects ecosystems by creating species range shifts, altering species life cycles, disrupting food chains, and spreading parasites, pathogens, and disease.

In recent decades, global warming has forced some species to migrate to higher latitudes, where the temperature is more conducive to their survival. This migration of both animal and plant species is occurring at a median rate of 10.5 miles per decade! These shifts in habitat result in less hospitable environments and increased competition, ultimately leading to the local extinction of certain species. Similarly, rising sea levels have caused saltwater to intrude on freshwater ecosystems, killing some species and forcing others to relocate.

For many species, the climate in their habitat influences key stages of their annual life cycles, including migration, blooming, and reproduction. As winters have become shorter and milder, the altered timing of these events has affected several species of migratory birds and insects in some regions of the United States. Additionally, climate change causes a ripple effect on food webs. For example, in the Arctic, declines in the duration and extent of sea ice have led to a decrease in the abundance of sea algae. These algae are consumed by zooplankton, which is, in turn, consumed by Arctic cod, an important food source for many marine mammals, including seals. Polar bears feed on seals.

Climate change and ecological shifts can have grave and irreversible effects on human populations. For example, ecosystems serve as buffers for extreme natural events, such as wildfires, flooding, and drought. Climate change has resulted in the erosion of reefs and barrier islands that protect coastlines from storm surges. In some cases, ecosystem change is rapid and irreversible, resulting in a “tipping point” from which the ecosystem cannot rebound. Moreover, climate change and ecological shifts may support the spread of pathogens, parasites, and diseases, with potentially severe consequences for human health and food sources. For example, an oys-

ter parasite capable of causing massive oyster die-offs in the Chesapeake has extended 310 miles northward to Maine due to warming ocean water.

The IPCC estimates that 20-30% of plants and animals that have been evaluated in climate change studies are at risk of extinction by the end of the century if warming trends are not reversed.

Examples of species most vulnerable to climate-related extinction include the mountain-dwelling pika, the Arcticdwelling ringed seals, and polar bears, and coldwater fish, such as the salmon of the Pacific Northwest.

Why You Should Care: Health and Human Rights

Climate change disasters, including hurricanes, droughts, fires, severe flooding, and other events, and environmental degradation, such as loss of habitats and species, water and land contamination, and soil nutrient depletion or runoff, have a significant influence on human rights, public health, and overall wellbeing. Many social problems are deeply intertwined with climate change.

Following natural disasters, destruction of individual and community infrastructure has several grave consequences, including economic costs, widespread food and water shortages, displacement and homelessness, rising death rates among vulnerable groups, psychological responses to trauma, escalation of substance abuse, and increases in cases of domestic violence.

Additionally, the slower impacts of climate change, such as rising sea levels (and the increased reporting of such) may cause or exacerbate persistent psychological disorders, including depression and anxiety. Furthermore, ecoanxiety is a pervasive response to the risks of climate change. Individuals and organizations are stunted to inaction out of fear of confronting the true scope of the devastation from climate change.

Ecoanxiety, a chronic, if undefined, fear of environmental doom, is a significant component of the global climate crisis.

According to the World Health Organization, half of the world’s population will live in water-stressed conditions by 2025. Droughts have further implications on health because they increase the pollutant concentration in drinking water. Droughts also cause animals seeking water to encroach on populated areas, increasing human exposure to disease-carrying insects like ticks. The varied ways climate change affects populations could potentially compound to devastate communities and threaten national and global societal stability with negative repercussions for human rights.

Combating Climate Change

There are many viable ways to reduce carbon output on an individual,

local, and national scale.

Individuals and family units can calculate their current carbon output by using the calculator available at Conservation.org and learn ways to reduce their total carbon emissions. For example, for every 5 MPG improvement in the fuel economy of your car, you can save .9 metric tons of carbon annually. For every day of the week that you completely eliminate red meat from your diet, you can save .4 metric tons of carbon annually. And for every degree that you turn down your thermostat in the winter, you can save .06 metric tons of carbon annually. Other simple ways to reduce your and your family’s carbon input include using Energy Star appliances, purchasing second-hand or consignment clothing, line-drying, rather than machine-drying, clothing, and buying local, organic, pasture-raised foods. Families can take conservation a step further by purchasing electric or hybrid vehicles and choosing green energy, such as solar panels, for their homes. Lastly, each of us can commit to planting more trees, either in our own backyards or on a global scale, by making a contribution to organizations such as Onetreeplanted.org, which is committed to protecting and replanting forests. On average, every tree absorbs .07 tons of carbon dioxide annually.

While individual actions are undoubtedly necessary, governments and institutions must tackle climate change with more systematic approaches. Communities can take meaningful steps to combat climate change by creating climate action plans. These plans first collect and evaluate data on current greenhouse gas emissions from buildings, transportation, and power generation within the community and formalize emission reduction goals compared to this baseline. Although Garden City has taken steps to reduce carbon emissions by, for example, installing LED light bulbs on Seventh Street and Franklin Avenue, the Village does not have a formal climate action plan. It would be fiscally, socially, and environmentally responsible for the Village to adopt a plan that would fulfill the dual purpose of reducing expenditures and reducing collective carbon emissions. It should be noted that the Village has a laudable tree-planting program, and has demonstrated a commitment to planting a new tree for each tree cut down and removed by the Village. It is time for Garden City to expand on these activities and identify our role in perpetuating climate change and then craft intentional modifications to our practices that better align our Village with climate-responsible actions and goals.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Email: Editor@GCNews.com From page 2 of stabilization and abatement of the building, and inputs from residents as to what features they would like to see in any new recreation center.

Next steps: Over the next six to eight months, “stabilization” of the building will take place. This is the process of protecting the structure’s exterior from further weather and wildlife damage. It will cost about $1.6 million. This would be followed by “abatement,” defined as removing, or reducing, mold, lead, asbestos, animal waste, poisonous air, etc. No timetable or cost was provided for the abatement stage. In fact, it is not possible to estimate abatement timing or cost The consultant stated that they need to perform probes to discover potential hidden abatement issues, and that they need input from the Trustees, and residents, in order to properly carry out the abatement process. I believe that abatement will cost many millions.

Incidentally, abatement must be done, even in a plan to demolish.

In sum, there were no revolutionary, votes or announcements at the meeting.

However, we detected a decidedly less

dogmatic, more open-minded, practical, common-sense approach from our eight Trustees. We do see an evolution of a more flexible Board. In my opinion, a redeveloped St. Paul’s, is, at best, many years away!

Let’s drink, clean water, to that!

Noise is hazardous To the Editor: There is an ancient, little known and unenforced law, “the law of quiet enjoyment,” that affords home owners the right to peace and quiet in their domicile. Studies show it is far less irritating to make noise than to hear it, and a majority of suburban residents feel they can’t get away from sounds like airplanes, leaf blowers and high revving small cars with after market noisy mufflers.

The impact of road, rail, air traffic and landscaper crews noise is an increasingly toxic phenomenon that affects us all more and more.

The program offers free technical assistance, grants, and rebates for participating communities. Long Island is vulnerable to the environmental effects of climate change, including flash floods and beach erosion due to rising sea levels. Superstorm Sandy was a dramatic and foreboding warning of the environmental consequences of continued climate change. The time is now for Garden City to join over 280 New York communities that have partnered with the State and committed to reducing carbon emissions. An estimated 25 million people globally have had to migrate because of climate change, and this number is expected to surge to 250 million people by 2050. It is naive to think that Long Islanders will be exempt from climate impacts. This is especially true if we continue to fail to take reasonable, available, and meaningful actions to reduce our carbon emissions responsibly. Garden City can, and should, utilize the available resources from New

York State to evaluate our greenhouse gas emissions and modify our Village actions that contribute to the climate crisis. We must all work together to advance climate sustainability measures by adopting strategies that will bring humanity closer to the imperative emission-reduction targets.

According to researchers, one of the most important actions we can currently take to confront the climate crisis is to simply talk about it with one another. To this aim, we are hosting a drop-in event on November 21st from 12-2pm as part of The Climate Reality Project’s 24 Hours of Reality: Truth in Action.

itoring system FPMS collects noise and flight path data, The Federal Aviation Administration offered to install one such monitor in Garden City Memorial Park on New Hyde Park Road to the village free of charge, which, we declined.

We should have it installed it.

Airport noise is a serious problem affecting the health and well-being of millions if Americans. In 2003 the FAA rolled out a program called Nextgen, which uses satellite navigation systems to better control aircraft landing paths, increasing safety, efficiency, and reducing fuel consumption. Nextgen did not address airplane noise, a major concern of those living near airports. As with many well meaning government projects, Nextgen has led to unintended consequences, more precise flight paths concentrate noise over certain neighborhoods, dramatically increasing exposure for those unfortunate enough to live under the new flight paths.

Airplane noise is not just a quality-of-life issue, but a public health issue.

High decibel noise exposure levels cause auditory problems including hearing loss, but are also linked to increased risk

for high blood pressure, heart attack and stroke. Other health issues from aircraft noise include reduced learning capacity in children, sleep disturbance, psychological effects such as irritation, obesity and lower weight of fetuses.

Nighttime noise is especially harmful.

Relatedly, leaf blower’s, are disturbers of tranquility and roar from 8:00 AM until after dusk. Lawns always revert to an unkempt state. Landscape contractors operating in the village benefit from this fact while residents of our village endure a never ending chorus of low frequency, home penetrating noise.

Some towns have enforced bans on leave blowers, or fostered compromises to limit their use to seasons and times of the day. Studies show it takes roughly ten minutes more for a grandmother to rake the same lawn a contractor blew.

We have gotten to the point where natural sound is unknowable. Unlike the eyes, the ears can not shut. Noise is not a nuisance, it is a hazard to the health of people everywhere, Dan McCarthy

Assemblyman Ed Ra with honoree Katharine Jushchenko Assemblyman Ed Ra recently held his annual Women of Distinction Ceremony at the Westbury Public Library. Ra honored educators, volunteers, civic-minded entrepreneurs and public servants for their commitment to strengthening our communities. Over 100 grateful residents attended the ceremony to join Ra in thanking these women for their indelible contributions.

“I think it’s important to highlight people who give back, who put their communities first,” said Ra. “Each of these women are setting an example that young people across our district should emulate. It meant a lot to me to honor them. The values they live— service, integrity, generosity—are the values that should define us,” said Ra. Two Garden City women were included among the honorees: Janet Bevers, for her career in public service; and Danielle Genova for her charitable advocacy.

Danielle Genova

In today’s society, we notice the positive differences which fundraisers and Non-profits make in peoples’ lives…but today acknowledgement is being given to the woman who makes a difference within those organizations. As a business development professional, Danielle Genova has paired her education with her passion to “be the change” she wishes to see in the world – to quote Ghandi.

For over 20 years, Danielle has devoted herself entirely to her loved ones and selflessly led multiple organizations to success in ways most people could only imagine. Danielle is never one to shy away from a challenge. Instead, she takes a seat at the head of the table and asks, “what more can we do?”

Her corporate experience provided a foundation on which she built her meaningful and charitable life as a key member, executive and founder of multiple organizations. But no résumé can truly describe the impact she’s made in not only the lives of strangers, but in her family’s life after experiencing a cystic fibrosis diagnosis.

Once her son was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, Danielle’s mission in life had changed- she realized her role as a parent now included using her professional expertise to find a cure for her son. Danielle and her family created “Jake’s Team,” which strives to bring attention to this disease in an effort to promote advocacy, education, research, and fundraising. Those living with CF need access to high-quality, specialized care and Jake’s Team is instrumental in making sure that happens.

What was the most devastating day in a parent’s life, has turned into one of the largest fundraising teams for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in Nassau County.

Her family has raised approximately

Assemblyman Ed Ra with honoree Danielle Genova $800,000 for cystic fibrosis through the annual “Great Strides” walk as well as 10 additional events she has executed in her neighborhood.

Danielle has continued to spend her time, energy, and skill set in raising awareness and funds for deserving charities and non-profits she believed needed more attention. In addition to her son’s cystic fibrosis fundraising team, Danielle has taken on leadership positions in advocating for STEM education, the Children’s Medical Fund of New York, and as a founding board member for the FDNY Firefighter John F. McNamara Foundation. Danielle is responsible in assisting in raising over $1 million dollars.

It doesn’t end there. Danielle has also been an active member of the Garden City PTA as well as the Garden City Chamber of Commerce. Danielle’s tireless efforts have had major impact on the community as well as a countless number of families.

If you were to look up “Woman of Distinction,” in the dictionary, Danielle Genova would be included in the definition.

Attention students!

Katharine Jushchenko

Katharine Jushchenko earned the Girl Scout Gold Award for her project “Prescription Opioid Education and Disposal”. By undertaking this project, Katharine sought to inform her community about the dangers of keeping unused prescription medicine in our homes. Katharine attended many community meetings to discuss not only how unused prescription medicine is fueling the opioid abuse epidemic, but to offer ways for people to safely and easily dispose of their unused medication.

To reach a wider audience, Katharine created a website (www.GotDrugs.org) which lets users find the drug disposal sites closest to them and also demonstrates an at-home drug disposal method involving nothing more than a Ziploc bag and dishwashing liquid.

Katharine is a senior at Garden City High School where she is student director of the Marching Band and captain of the Varsity Rifle Team. She is also a junior ambassador to the Garden City Western Property Owners Association.

Graduated from school? Have an outstanding GPA? Made the honor roll or Dean’s List? Scored an internship or study abroad opportunity?

We invite you to send details of any of these things and more, along with your name and contact info, to editor@gcnews.com for a chance to be seen in our paper!

Village pauses to honor veterans at annual ceremony

Post Commander Frank Tauches welcomed veterans, the Women’s Auxiliary, residents and Village leaders.

William Bradford Turner Post 265 held its annual Veterans Day ceremony at the war memorial on 7th Street to honor those that made the ultimate sacrifice and those currently serving in the military fighting for those same freedoms.

Post Commander Frank Tauches welcomed veterans, the Women’s Auxiliary, residents and Village leaders. He also thanked two local veterans for sharing their experiences. Ed Cunningham, a lieutenant in the Navy during the Vietnam era, and Dave Abraham, who served in the Air Force and Army, took part in the annual “Meet the Veterans” event at the Library an hour before the annual ceremony.

“The hour of eleven has a tender significance to our members of the American Legion who are veterans. It is at the eleventh hour on the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918 that the guns of the Great War ceased firing. Silence encompassed the earth. It was at eleven that the last man died in battle. It was at eleven that great joy swept over humanity. It was the day that the idea for this day was conceived,” Commander Tauches said.

Mayor Theresa Trouvé believes Veterans Day offers an opportunity to reconnect to the source of this nation’s

innumerable freedoms. “It is an important day by which we ground ourselves to the reality that our way of life has been changed and made possible by those who have served,” she said. Speaking to the veterans present at the ceremony, the mayor added, “We are humbled by your sacrifices. We know they are great and we recognize and commend the demonstrations of courage and strength that you have no doubt shown throughout the most difficult of times.”

Reverend Msgr. James P. Swiader, pastor of Saint Joseph Church, led the crowd in prayer following a solemn moment of silence to honor the war dead.

“On this Veterans Day, we remember and give thanks for those who have served in our military in the past and those who currently serve in the defense of our country,” he said. “Whatever or wherever or whenever the need, they stepped forward and they did their duty to defend the freedoms that we enjoy and to win the same for others. They still do so today at home and around the globe.”

The ceremony concluded with the playing of Taps by two members of Garden City High School’s band, buglers Tyler Glenn and Jimmy Wu.

Fire Department holds service at refurbished monument

The Village’s memorial to volunteer firefighters.

The Garden City Volunteer Fire Department held its annual memorial service at the newly refurbished monument at Fire Headquarters. The ceremony pays tribute to members who have died.

It was a total village-wide effort to get the work completed prior to this year’s Fire Prevention Day. Restoration work included cleaning the monument and installing new paving stones around the monument.

Newly planted landscaping sur-

rounds the memorial. Village crews removed large bushes that obscured visibility. A walkway was installed from the adjacent parking lot to provide better access to the memorial and lighting was added to enhance the viewing. Later phases of the project will include adding flagpoles and additional lighting.

Chief Thomas Strysko thanked Village crews for their efforts. “It looks beautiful,” he said.

The original version is often better than the remake

BY CLAIRE LYNCH

How often have I read a good book then seen it made into a movie and said I like the original character or version much better?

That’s been true of “Mr. Popper’s Penguins” and “The Great Gatsby” also. I liked both books better than the films.

The only exception I can think of was “The Wizard of Oz.” I found the original story by L. Frank Baum, published in 1900, just a little tedious to read but the movie was terrific. That’s why it won several Oscars in 1940. “Gone With the Wind” edged out “The Wizard of Oz” for Best Picture but it did win Oscars for Best Original Score and Best Original Song for “Over the Rainbow.”

Also, Judy Garland won the Academy Juvenile Award for her part.

“Sounder” was a really good movie that came out in 1972 but I still enjoyed the novel by William Armstrong that was published in 1969 more than the movie. It tells the story of story of an African-American boy living with his sharecropper family. Although the family’s difficulties increase when the father is imprisoned for stealing a ham from work so his family could eat, the boy still hungers for an education.

Sounder is the family dog who sticks with them through thick and thin.

J.R.R. Tolkien’s 1937 book “The Hobbit” was made into three movies, “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,” in 2012, “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug,” in 2013 and “The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies,” in 2014. I still prefer the book.

The Nancy Drew series was made into a TV series recently and it is nothing like the Nancy Drew books that many of us in our 50s and 60s remember reading back when we were kids.

But let me start at the beginning. The character of Nancy Drew was created by publisher Edward Stratemeyer as the female counterpart to his Hardy Boys series. The Hardy Boys books were immensely popular and Edward Stratemeyer wanted to create a similar series of books for girls to read. He knew that many girls read the Hardy Boys books and would be interested in a series of books with a strong female character. Edward Stratemeyer was right. There was an enormous interest.

The Nancy Drew books were written

by Carolyn Keene and first came out in 1930. It turns out that Carolyn Keene was a pseudonym for Mildred Benson who was the primary writer of Nancy Drew books. She wrote 23 of the first 30

Nancy Drew books.

Nancy Drew, who is a fictional amateur sleuth, came to embody the feisty spirit of independence that Mildred had. Mildred always felt that girls could do the same things as boys and she lived her life that way. It was her take on Nancy Drew that helped spark Nancy’s widespread popularity. Plus the character of Nancy Drew debuted at a time when girls in our society were ready for something different. Other writers wrote many of the Nancy Drew books and kept the story lines up to date as times changed.

The first Nancy Drew book in the series was “The Secret of the Old Clock.”

In that story Nancy Drew uses her intelligence and her determination to help the struggling Turner family win a recently deceased relative’s inheritance. She is motivated by her dislike for the members of the social-climbing Topham family who are set to inherit the money.

An unpleasant encounter at a department store allows Nancy to discredit the Topham sisters when they break an expensive imported vase. Interviewing various Crowley relatives and friends, Nancy learns from an injured old lady that Crowley hinted that the clue to his will would be found in the family clock.

When Helen gives Nancy charity tickets to sell, she sells them to the Tophams to gain entry to their home and question them about the clock. So it goes.

The second book was “The Hidden Staircase.” At the beginning of the original edition of “The Hidden Staircase,” Nancy is home alone while her father, attorney Carson Drew, and their housekeeper, Hannah Gruen, are both out for the day.

The doorbell rings and Nancy is introduced to the rude visitor, Nathan Gombet, who has come to see Carson Drew about some papers. When his persistence irritates Nancy, she grows impatient and angrily tells him to leave and threatens to call the police.

Soon after, Nancy is surprised at her house by Allie Horner, someone she helped in “The Secret of the Old Clock.”

Allie knows who Nathan Gombet is because of his reputation. When Carson Drew arrives home, he explains his history with Gombet. Gombet signed over his land to build a railroad and then decided after the construction that he had been cheated out of money.

Mailbag Miscellany

BY TOM MARGENAU

I usually like to have a theme to my columns. In other words, I will generally just cover one topic and present one or more questions from readers that are related to that subject. But every once in a while, I just like to open my email inbox and pick random questions to answer. Today’s column is one of those.

Q: I am 79 years old. I haven’t worked in years, but last year, I did make some money on the side selling some of my antique furniture. And now I got a letter from Social Security telling me my own benefit is going up by $25 but my widows benefit is going down by $25. This makes absolutely no sense to me. What do you think I should do about this?

A: You should just relax. It’s really no big deal. Let me explain to you what is happening.

Like many women in this country, you are getting benefits from two Social Security accounts. You are getting your own retirement benefit, and you are getting some additional money off of your deceased husband’s Social Security record.

You didn’t give me the dollar amounts, but let’s just say that you are due $1,200 in your own retirement benefits, and you are also due $2,000 in widows benefits. As a general rule, when you are due two benefits, you don’t get them both. You just get the one that pays the higher rate. So in this situation, you normally would just get a widows Social Security check for $2,000.

But there is a rule that says if you are due anything on your own work record, you must be paid that first. So you are actually getting two benefits. You get your own $1,200 check. And you also get $800 from your husband’s account to take you up to the $2,000 widows rate you are due.

(Depending on factors too complicated to explain in this short column, some women would get two checks each month, and some would get both benefits combined in one check.)

Because you made some extra money last year, those earnings bumped up the amount of your own Social Security benefit -- you said by $25. So, applying that to the numbers I used for my example, that means your own retirement check increased to $1,225. But that increase did nothing to your husband’s benefit amount (your widows rate). It remains at $2,000 per month. So now instead of $800 in widows benefits, you are due $775. So your portion of his benefit went down. But you still end up with $2,000 in total benefits.

Q: I read one of your old columns about Social Security disability. I am wondering this: Do those benefits go on forever? For example, if

a guy has a heart attack at age 60 and starts getting Social Security disability and then manages to live into his 80s, will he still be getting disability?

A: When someone getting disability reaches full retirement age, those benefits are converted to retirement checks. But the dollar amount remains the same.

Q: I’m confused about a column you recently wrote about retroactive benefits. You said if a guy delays benefits until age 70 and then takes six months worth of retroactive benefits, he would lose 4%. Do you mean he loses 4% for the retroactive period, but his ongoing benefits would be at the full rate?

A: No. His benefits would be permanently reduced by 4%. Let me explain that further. You get a two-thirds of 1% increase for each month you delay starting your Social Security after age 66.

That comes out to a 32% increase if you wait until age 70. (There are no increases after 70.) So if you apply for Social Security at age 70, but elect six months of retroactive benefits, it’s as if you actually signed up for Social Security at age 69 and 6 months. And at age 69 and a half, you get a 28% increase. So your ongoing benefit rate would be 128% of your full rate, not 132%.

Q: My brother is 67 years old. He has never worked because he has been disabled all his life. My sister has never married, and she has been caring for him all his adult life. She gets a Social Security check, but he doesn’t get anything. Is there any way my brother would qualify for Social Security on his sister’s record?

A: No, he’s not due anything on his sister’s Social Security account. Or to put that another way, there is no such thing as a benefit for a dependent sibling.

But he possibly might be eligible for Supplemental Security Income payments. SSI pays a small monthly stipend to poor people who are over age 65 or who are disabled. If he has no income, and assuming he doesn’t have more than $2,000 in liquid assets, he could get between $500 and $770 per month from the SSI program. Your sister should call Social Security at 800-772-1213 to check into this.

Q: In past columns, you said you aren’t a Medicare expert. Where can we turn for Medicare advice?

A: Medicare counselors are called SHIPs. That stands for State Health Insurance Program. To find the SHIP nearest you, go to the Medicare website and pull down the menu for your state under “Find local help” and then click on SHIP. Q: I am a 71-year-old divorced man. I am about to get married

again. My fiancee is 43. If I were to die, would she get any of my Social Security?

A: I’m sure there are some advantages to marrying a 43-year-old woman when you are a 71-year-old man. But leaving behind widows benefits isn’t one of them. She would have to be 60 years old before she would be due any

Social Security checks as a widow on your record. So for both your and her sakes, let’s hope that wedding night doesn’t give you a fatal heart attack!

The original version is often better than the remake C ontinued from page D3 es Nancy to the Turnbull sisters, Rosemary and Floretta. They ask Nancy to help them learn the cause of the mysterious hauntings of their mansion in Cliffwood which is several miles from River Heights. The sisters explain that numerous valuable items have gone missing from their Civil War-era mansion, but they cannot understand how any person could have entered the locked home during these different instances. Book #2 goes on.

In the original versions of the Nancy Drew series, she is a 16-year-old high school graduate, and in later versions, is rewritten and aged to be an 18-yearold high school graduate and detective.

In the series she lives in the fictional town of River Heights with her father and their housekeeper who is practically a family member. At the age of 10 she loses her mother. Nancy’s loss is reflected in her early independence.

She runs a household, goes to school and hangs out a lot with her friends.

As a teenager, Nancy spends her time solving mysteries, some of which she stumbles upon and some of which begin as cases of her father’s. Nancy is often assisted in solving mysteries by her two closest friends, cousins Bess Marvin and George Fayne. Bess is delicate and feminine, while George is a tomboy. Nancy is also occasionally joined by her boyfriend Ned Nickerson, a student at Emerson College.

Nancy is often described as a super girl. In the words of Bobbie Ann Mason, a novelist from Kentucky, Nancy is “as immaculate and self-possessed as a Miss America on tour. She is as cool as Mata Hari and as sweet as Betty Crocker.” Nancy is well-off, attractive and amazingly talented.

At 16 she “had studied psychology in school, and was familiar with the power of suggestion and association.”

Nancy was a talented painter, spoke French and frequently drove motor boats. She was a skilled driver who at 16 could drive into the garage smoothly and with a certain finesse.

That prodigy Nancy Drew was a sure shot, an excellent swimmer, skillful oarsman, expert seamstress and gourmet cook. Nancy brilliantly played tennis and golf, and rode horses like a cowboy. Nancy danced well and she could administer first aid, too. Nancy was sophisticated and glamorous. This Nancy Drew was the embodiment of an all-American girl.

As a child I remember my mother telling me to start reading the first Nancy Drew book and keep going. I got hooked on the Nancy Drew books and had quite a collection in my parents’

house. To be perfectly honest, I read as many books as I could multiple times all through my middle school years.

They were good reads.

The last book in the Nancy Drew series was “Werewolf in a Winter Wonderland.” In this book, Nancy and her friends start at the winter Carnival, where there will be many fun events, such as the Polar Bear Plunge, the Snow Princess competition, Torchlight parades and the Golf Tournament.

They all get assigned a different job to work at the Fortune Teller’s tent and the Heat Hut where there are a lot of hot drinks for a cold winter’s day. They head down to the mysterious WildWolf, an animal preserve a few miles out of town. That night, which happens to be a Tuesday, they have “Howl-o-Rama” where the people howl to the wolves and the wolves howl back. When they arrive there, however, they find that two of the most prized alpha wolves are gone.

Finally, when the day of the carnival arrives, everything seems to go well.

But when Nancy visits the Fortune Teller’s hut, she gets a piece of paper that reads: “Beware ... danger.”

Nancy is warned about the danger in various other ways, but she is determined to help the owner of WildWolf, who is named Markie, and she is also determined to find out who the werewolf which is bothering the carnival is - and if they are human or beast.

“Werewolf in a Winter Wonderland” came out in 2003 and I didn’t read it since by that time I was in my 40s and onto other things.

In total there were 175 volumes of Nancy Drew books that were published from 1930 to 2003. They had a wide appeal. In each Nancy Drew book the main character took us readers on the adventures she went on. She always seemed to have a curiosity about life and an interest in helping the people she believed had been wronged.

Then someone in the entertainment

Crossword Answers

industry got the idea to bring the Nancy Drew character to life for today’s audience. I saw some episodes on TV on the CW that were very different from the Nancy Drew books. I guess they are appealing to a younger audience. The first episode aired on Oct. 9, 2019.

After 18-year-old Nancy Drew’s college plans are put on hold, she finds herself involved in a ghostly mystery when she and her four friends are witnesses and suspects to a murder. They team up to find the person responsible. Kennedy McMann stars as Nancy Drew. The TV episodes that are on now are very modern - you could call them supernatural murder mysteries.

Basically many viewers who are today’s critics of the CW TV series say that there is no comparison to the original Nancy Drew. What they say is “bad acting and a poor story line. Also, the characters all fall flat.” Many of them go on to say that the episodes are boring and the characters don’t seem to come to life on the screen. There is nothing compelling about them, nothing that wants to draw the viewer in.

This “updated teen detective” falls

short of the mark.

Although many viewers say that Kennedy McMann has some acting talent, there is no chemistry among her and the other actors so the whole thing just doesn’t work very well.

I was speaking with my friend, Patty, recently about the Nancy Drew TV series that’s currently being broadcast and she said that for someone who discovered the school library in sixth grade and then read all of the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys novels the library had in that same year, she was hoping for more. The writing for this series isn’t great.

The TV show is geared for young teens, not true Nancy Drew fans.

Although the original Nancy Drew books that came out a long time ago seem outdated and old fashioned by today’s standards, there is still something to be said for a fictional character that can be such a role model - and that can draw so many readers in.

Again I say that when it comes to Nancy Drew, the books are definitely better than the TV show.

Holiday Express Returns to NY Historical Society, Celebrating Richard Scarry and Busytown

A holiday favorite returns to the NewYork Historical Society this season— reimagined to celebrate the 100th birthday of Busytown series author and illustrator Richard Scarry. Holiday Express: All Aboard to Richard Scarry’s Busytown (November 1, 2019 – February 23, 2020) showcases artwork and graphics of Scarry’s characters like

Huckle Cat and Lowly Worm from publisher Random House Children’s Books alongside more than 300 objects from the Jerni Collection’s antique toy trains, stations, and accessories.

Using Busytown stories and characters, dynamic displays explore the workings of the railroad, the services it provides, and the jobs required to keep people and goods moving.

An assortment of kid-friendly activities, story times, and crafts accompany the exhibition throughout its run, welcoming families into the world of classic toys and trains. Richard “Huck” Scarry Jr., the son of Richard Scarry, will make a special appearance on December 14 and 15. Holiday Express: All Aboard to Richard Scarry’s Busytown is supported by Bloomberg Philanthropies.

Additional support provided by Random House Children’s Books.

“We’re delighted to celebrate Richard Scarry’s centennial by bringing Busytown to life at the New-York Historical Society this holiday season,” said Dr. Louise Mirrer, president and CEO of New-York Historical. “Pairing iconic characters like Huckle Cat with historic toys and trains from our incomparable Jerni Collection is the perfect way for visitors of all ages to explore the history of transportation in a whimsical way.”

Richard Scarry is one of the world’s most beloved children’s authors. In his extraordinary career, Scarry illustrated over 150 books, many of which have never been out of print. His books have sold over 100 million copies around the world and are currently published in over 20 languages.

Just like his father, Huck Scarry was always drawing and would often assist his dad in coloring his drawings.

After his father’s passing in 1994, Huck

took up the mantle of creating new books about Richard Scarry’s charming and funny characters. “My father would be so thrilled with the Holiday Express exhibition at the New-York Historical Society,” said Huck Scarry.

“We would often visit New York City, and when we did, we always took the train. So much to see and do! Like our many Busytown friends, we enjoyed our trip because a train ride is always a bit of an adventure!

Busytown is the inspiration for a special installation that uses three Scarry stories and objects from the Jerni Collection to illustrate rail travel in 1919, the year of Scarry’s birth.

In Waiting at the Station, characters Huckle Cat and Sally Cat eagerly await the arrival of a train, as miniature figures of porters and other workers bustle around the station. In Betsy Bear’s Letter to Grandma, toy trains demonstrate how post offices and railroads worked together to keep people in touch. And in Coal Makes Electricity Work for Us, a miniature underground mine, elevators, and hoppers show how coal was turned into power.

More than two dozen never-before-displayed objects from the Jerni Collection are on view for the first time this year, including Märklin’s rare “Garden Station,” manufactured in 1900. Other highlights include a toy textile factory from 1910 by Ernst Planck and Gebrüder Bing’s English market “Charles Dickens” locomotive with tender and coaches, produced in 1905. Also on view: a Bing Steam Toy Train from 1912, which was once powered by a real, working steam engine, making it an exceedingly risky plaything in its day.

To top it all off, eight sets of running trains encircle the displays overhead and are sure to delight children (and adults!) of all ages.

Large-scale cutouts of Scarry’s iconic characters are displayed throughout the museum, and interactive elements, including a crawl-through space leading to a pop-up observation bubble, allow children to get an up-close view of the displays, harking back to the feel of early 20th century toy departments.

Busytown Family Programs Fun, train-related activities for kids of all ages take place through the exhibition’s run―all free with Museum Admission. These include: Celebrating Richard Scarry and Busytown! (Saturday, December 14 and Sunday, December 15; 1–3 pm) All aboard! Holiday Express returns this year with a special new addition— scenes from Richard Scarry’s Busytown!

On this weekend, families will join Huck Scarry in a draw-along of beloved Busytown characters and chat about his father. Children will decorate their own Busytown vehicles, create finger

puppets, listen to Busytown tales, and go on a pretend train journey with our favorite Conductor Abe! December School Vacation Week (Thursday, December 26 – Wednesday, January 1) Stop by NewYork Historical during our annual, train-filled Vacation Week. Take part in an “I Spy” scavenger hunt, play at our train table, listen to a classic train story, and make a rail-themed craft to take home!

Since its acquisition by the New-York Historical Society in 2014, the Jerni Collection has become a highlight of the Museum’s holdings. Assembled over the course of five decades by U.S. collectors Jerry and Nina Greene, the Jerni Collection is considered one of the world’s leading collections of antique model trains and toys. The Jerni Collection includes handcrafted, and hand-painted pieces dating from approximately 1850 to 1940, and features prime examples by the leading manufacturers that set the standard for the Golden Age of Toy Trains, including the German firms of Märklin and Bing, as well as the American firms Lionel and Ives.

Holiday Express: All Aboard to Richard Scarry’s Busytown is curated

by Mike Thornton, associate curator of material culture at the New-York Historical Society. The original Holiday Express display was designed by Lee H. Skolnick Architecture + Design Partnership (LHSA+DP), an integrated architecture and exhibit design firm that also designed New-York Historical’s DiMenna Children’s History Museum. Other consultants for Holiday Express include T W TrainWorx, a nationally recognized model train specialist and designer of custom toy train layouts; and exhibition media producers Batwin + Robin, renowned “media storytellers” with more than 20 years of experience in the theater, museums, and other venues.

The New-York Historical Society, one of America’s preeminent cultural institutions, is dedicated to fostering research and presenting history and art exhibitions and public programs that reveal the dynamism of history and its influence on the world of today.

Founded in 1804, New-York Historical has a mission to explore the richly layered history of New York City and State and the country and to serve as a national forum for the discussion of issues surrounding the making and meaning of history. New-York Historical is also home to the Patricia D. Klingenstein Library, one of the oldest, most distinguished libraries in the nation—and one of only 20 in the United States qualified to be a member of the Independent Research Libraries Association—which contains more than three million books, pamphlets, maps,

newspapers, manuscripts, prints, photographs, and architectural drawings.

The DiMenna Children’s History Museum at the New-York Historical Society presents 350 years of New York and American history through character-based pavilions, interactive exhibits, and digital games, and the Barbara K. Lipman Children’s History Library. The DiMenna Children’s History Museum encourages families to explore history together through permanent installations and a wide range of family learning programs for toddlers, children, and preteens.

R E A L E S T A T E W A T C H

What I learned at the National Association of Realtors conference

BY PHILIP A. RAICES I just returned from my yearly convention of the National Association of Realtors in San Francisco, where 25,000 Realtors converge to learn, absorb and apply what they have learned and network among one another to further their businesses and their R.O.I. (return on their investment).

Brokers and agents from around the globe came to meet one another as we do each and every year and to rekindle and further relationships that have grown into an amazing source of referrals in and out of the U.S. However, not surprisingly, there were so many more new faces to establish connections with and develop the rapport and relationships that are so desperately needed within our industry to expand and scale our businesses to new heights and to become more profitable as any smart Broker and agent should strive for every day!

I do not know how many Brokers and agents showed up from Long Island, except those that are on my Global and a few other committees that I contribute my time and efforts to; but our showing was not what it should have been. There were many more from other states, like California, Texas, Florida, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, North Dakota, Nevada, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Guam, British West Indies, France, Japan, Indonesia, France, Spain, Italy and so many more.

I believe there were thousands more agents from other countries than in 2018, that had not only the passion to perform their businesses on a topnotch level and to service their clientele without any regard or thoughts of focusing primarily on the money to be made; but first to realize it’s about the client’s “needs and wants” and finding their first home, “move up” dream home, commercial sale or lease or even a basic rental or relocation!

A typical agent many times focuses on the commission and how much money they can make and might just dwell on this way too much and not enough on the consumer who they are serving and who will be paying them, not only directly on a rental but indirectly when purchasing; for their purchase is where our commission is derived from and not the seller!

Although we do eventually get remunerated by the seller, where do you think our fee comes from, you the buyer! So whether you are a listing agent, representing the seller, a buyer’s agent, representing the buyer or a dual agent representing both, (but not each exclusively), one must understand the importance of the entire transaction and why it’s so critical to make sure all the parties are extremely satisfied with your service, not only the seller, but the purchaser, where, as I just mentioned, our fees are indirectly coming from. The agents want reviews and testimonials, then they must truly earn them by providing their expertise and knowledge by plying their trade to

all parties, regardless of who you might be representing, so the impression you will leave behind, is that you did an exemplary professional job in making the sale or rental end on a positive note, instead of the disasters and sad outcomes of what I have experienced and observed with other agents and also have been told.

The closing or lease signing should be the most exhilarating and happy time for all if you do your business correctly! Stress and poor communication should never enter into the picture if handled in the proper fashion.

It’s never been about us (although some act that way and become way too self-centered, self-absorbed, narcissistic and try to ingratiate themselves in a phony way to make a deal), or think that their, “you know what”, doesn’t stink; but to always be cognizant about who we work for, the public. We serve them and always must regard them in the highest esteem, and allow us to earn their trust and credibility as long as we do our part in guiding them through the arduous and complicated

process from the start to the finish; and who enable us to earn such an amazing living.

We should never take them for granted, for in the short and long run, they are our most important advocates for our future referrals and connections to scale our businesses to higher more profitable grounds.

Attending all our conventions in June, October, November, and December will make an agent that much more professional and knowledgeable and will put them on a different trajectory than the eighty percent who barely make a living. No wonder that most drop out of our business because they don’t have the proper training and support (or they don’t seek out the necessary training and tools) to build a strong foundation to understand and learn this business the correct way. An excellent agent’s motto should be, “For Service, Before, During and After the Sale.”

Indoor Plants

BY JEFF RUGG Q: I have tried for several years to keep houseplants indoors during the winter and then move them outside for the summer. They grow well in the summer, but they nearly die indoors. I thought houseplants should be able to grow indoors.

Do you have some tips on what I can do to help them grow better this winter?

A: Of course, all plants originally grew outdoors. But some of the locations that they grew in had temperatures similar to what many people think of as indoor temperatures -- mostly in the mid70s. The nighttime temperatures might drop into the upper 60s, and, near a sunny window, the daytime temperatures might increase into the low 80s. I am sure the temperature is just fine, but other environmental aspects may not be good for your plants.

Humidity is higher in tropical climates than it is indoors in the winter when the furnace is running. To help your plants, you may need to run a humidifier.

If there is water in the saucer under the plant, the plant roots may drown. Placing some stones in the saucer to raise the plant pot will keep the roots healthy and allow the water in the saucer to increase the humidity.

Plants don’t need as much water in the winter as you were giving them in the summer. Check

the plants regularly to see if they need water, but don’t water on a schedule. More plants drown from too much water than die from not enough water. Touch the top of the soil in the pot. If it feels cool and damp, the plant probably doesn’t need water.

Does it go without saying that plants need light? I guess not, since I am saying it. Plants will drop leaves that don’t get enough light. You may need to add lights if not enough sun comes in the windows.

Because the days are shorter, the temperatures are cooler and there is less indoor light, plants don’t grow as much in the winter.

They don’t need as much fertilizer as they did outdoors in the summer. If you add any in the fall, just use a quarter of the normal amount. Don’t add any in December through February. Start with a quarter amount in late winter and then add full amounts a few weeks before they will be moved outdoors.

Check the plants for insects when you are checking them for water. Spider mites, aphids, whiteflies and other very small insects can build large populations because there are few predators and no rain to wash them off the plants.

Q: My landscaper said he wants to fertilize my lawn. I think he is just trying to make

some money. Is this a good time to fertilize a bluegrass lawn?

A: Your landscaper is right, provided he is using the right fertilizer. A late fall fertilization of water-soluble nitrogen (not slow-release) is good for northern lawn grasses. This could be October or November, depending on how far north you are. If the grass is still green, it is photosynthesizing, and the food produced will be stored in the crown and roots of the plant. The fertilizer will boost the food production.

These food reserves will help the plants survive the winter and then they will help the plant grow at the right rate in the early spring. Applying fertilizer in the early spring can be harmful because it causes the plants to grow leaves at the expense of roots.

The early fertilization forces the lawn to grow leaves that need to be mowed, but a fall fertilization doesn’t do that (now or in the spring.)

Garden City Boys Varsity Soccer season ends in county final

2019 Boys Varsity Soccer Team The Garden City Boys Varsity Soccer team dropped a heartbreaking Nassau County Class A championship game last Wednesday evening against rival Jericho 2-1. Prior to the championship game, the boys had defeated Island Trees 2-0 in the County semifinals.

The County semifinal game showed the Trojans at their best, completely dominating all aspects of the game. The team put on a display of ball control, smooth passing and solid defense that left Island Trees chasing the game for much of the evening. The Trojan defense of Joe Griffin, James Costello, Bobby Seel, Joe McNiff, Billy Castoro and Tom Aneser kept Island Trees pined in their own half most of the game and continually fed excellent passes through to the midfield of Ethan

Senior captain Joe Bernieri

Senatore, Joe Bernieri, Will Wieland and Brendan Haggerty. Forwards Owen Heaney, Nick Prime, Andy Schneider and James Connolly peppered the Island Trees net with shots. As the pressure on the Island Trees goal grew, it was only a matter of time until the Trojans would break through. Early in the second half, the Trojans’ emphasis on set piece play paid off as Owen Heaney dropped a corner kick onto the head of Joe Bernieri and Joe confidently nodded the ball into the net. Minutes later, the same duo of Heaney to Bernieri struck on another corner kick to secure the 2-0 win and send the Trojans to a third consecutive County championship game.

The County championship game against Jericho was an epic match of the top two team in Nassau County.

The first half of the game saw the Trojans play perhaps their best soccer of the season. Slick ball control, strong defense and continual offensive pressure looked sure to lead to victory. However, several incredible saves by the Jericho keeper off the goal line, a ball off the cross bar and

then off the goal line and a couple of clear missed hand ball calls left the Trojan frustrated. A quick Jericho goal off a counterattack and against the run of play left the Trojans down 1-0 late in the first half. As the boys have done all season when faced with adversity, they fought back. Owen

55 ball in the box off a corner kick with 3 seconds remaining in the game to claim the 2-1 win. Losing a County championship is difficult at best, and to go down with mere seconds left after having the better of the play and delivering one of their best performances of the season was especially hard on the boys. They can hold their heads high and be proud of an amazing season. Our seniors have provided three years of incredible soccer and memories and taken the program to a new level of success and performance. Great things await them on and off the field.

Friday, November 15, 2019 The Garden City News

Heaney collected a pass at the top of the box in full stride, slipped by a defender and hammered a blast into the far corner to even the score at 1-1 prior to halftime. The second half saw the Trojans continue to control the game, while some Jericho adjustments on defense began to limit chances on net. The tension built as the second half moved along.

Both teams gave everything they had and the fans were treated to some excellent soccer. As the clock wound down, overtime seemed certain. Unfortunately for the Trojans though, Jericho struck on a loose

GCHS Girls Swimming celebrates 21st consecutive County title The Garden City Girls Swim team competed in the Nassau County Championship meet last Friday and Saturday at the Nassau County Aquatic Center. The meet begins with preliminary heats in all events on Friday night. Each team can enter up to 4 swimmers per event as long as they have achieved the qualifying times for each event and no swimmer can swim more than 2 individual events and 2 relays.

The task of determining which swimmers should swim in each event to maximize points for the team falls to Coach Anne Sullivan and she delivered again last weekend.

After a 3rd place finish in preliminaries of the 200 yard medley relay, Coach Anne made a substitution on the relay. The finals team of Vicky Carroll, Lauren Kuzma, Katie Lew and Sophia Boccio delivered a victory for the Trojans in the first event, finishing with a time of 1:48.03 which is a new Garden City school record in the event.

Next up was the 200 yard freestyle.

Garden City came into the meet with no girls seeded in the top 10, but after excellent efforts on Friday night placed 3 girls in the championship final on Saturday. In the finals, Mia Bonvissuto bested her preliminary time for a 3rd place finish. Alana Brown finished 5th and Madison Connor 7th. Mia and Alana both qualified for the State Championship meet in this event.

Lauren Kuzma had the best time in the 200 IM prelims but finished a close 2nd in finals, while Margo Kern won the “B” finals to score critical points for the team. Lauren’s time of 2:05.78 is a new school record in the event.

Ella Newmark swam her best time of the season in the 50 free. Going into the meet she was not seeded in the top

Garden City celebrates 21st consecutive County title 30, but her time of 25.58 on Friday night put her in the “A” final for Saturday where she placed 10th. Sophia Boccio finished 11th and Laura Clarkson finished 16th to add to Garden City’s point total.

With no divers this year, Garden City started the meet with a 33 point deficit to Bellmore-Merrick. However, after the diving scores were added into the meet, Garden City only trailed Bellmore by 5 points.

Bellmore’s lead would not last long with Garden City placing 4 girls in the 100 butterfly finals. Katie Lew and Vicky Carroll swam in the “A” final and finished 8th and 10th respectively.

Margo Kern finished 13th and Sophia

Garden City placed another 4 girls in the 100 freestyle finals. In the “A” finals Mia Bonvissuto finished 3rd, Madison Connor 4th and Sophia Boccio 10th. Ella Newmark had a strong swim in the “B” final which placed her 12th overall. Madison Connor’s time of 53.88 in preliminaries qualified her for the State Championship, her first.

Congratulation Madison.

Alana Brown was the only Trojan in the 500 freestyle. Her strong swims in preliminaries and finals earned her a 3rd-place finish and another trip to States.

Getting towards the end of the meet Garden City’s team depth was clear as Garden City placed another 3 swimmers in the 100 yard backstroke, while Bellmore had no qualifiers for finals. A 7th place finish for Katie Lew, 9th place for Vicky Carroll and 12th place for Laura Clarkson piled on the points and gave Garden City an large lead. Katie Lew’s time of 100.20 qualified her for the State Championship in this event.

Garden City - 27 vs. Bellmore - 12

Defensive lineman Mark Gemmell made a prophetic announcement at the first home game: “We don’t lose on the GC field.”

For the last home game of the regular season, Thunder 11s hosted the Bellmore Braves. Thunder was not planning on giving up their home field advantage. The advantages are numerous: Garden City Spirit Team shows up, the new breakaway banner is rolled out, “Thunder” by Imagine Dragons celebrates every score, and GCHS varsity players stand strong on the sidelines for their younger counterparts.

To show their gratitude, Thunder players presented the Spirit Team with corsages. Shy smiles abounded, then the Thunder team bounded on the field.

Co-captains for the last home game were the coach’s sons, Greg Buccella, Ryan Haniffy, Timothy Levelis and James Sullivan. They proudly won the coin toss, obviously.

Timothy Levelis received the opening kickoff ran the ball into Bellmore territory. Quarterback Ryan Haniffy used his running backs judiciously with solid gains

by Frank Dellarossa, Chase Kraus and Will Mattice. James Logler and Cole Maio provided the protection needed. When

James Sullivan became the changemaker, Haniffy consistently gave him the ball until Sullivan was inevitably in the end zone behind Patrick Corrigan and Alex Giuffre.

Garden City - 6, Bellmore - 0.

The Braves were beginning to gel at this point in their season and they needed this win against Garden City. Unfortunately, the Thunder defense of Gabe Cohen, Conor Fortney and Angelo Cupani was stingy, and they didn’t let them cross the line of scrimmage. True to their name, the Braves bravely faked a punt. Tristan Hickis and Frank Dellarosa were not fooled.

Thunder offense was ready to score again, but they found themselves in a less than ideal field position at 2nd and 15.

Will Mattice ran it up the middle with a key block by Frank Dellarosa for 3rd and 5. A recovered fumble kept them at 4th and 5. It was a do or die situation, and Haniffy believed in his O-line and Will Mattice made the first down on the 13 yard line. Chase Kraus spun into 2nd and 5.

Frank Dellarosa made an elongated stretch for first down, but James Sullivan easily ran up the middle with a key block by Patrick Corrigan for his second TD of the game. Chase Kraus would not be denied for the extra point. Garden City - 13, Bellmore - 0.

GCHS Girls Swimming celebrates County title From page 58

of the night for Garden City, Lauren Kuzma dominated the field. After swimming a personal best and school record 1:04.00 on Friday night, Lauren was uncontested for most of the race, finishing in first place. Amanda Baker had a great swim finishing 5, and Sophia Bernardo 8th in the “A” final.

Senior Bridget O’Connor continued to pile on the points for GC winning the “B” final for 11th place overall.

The continuous placement of 3 or 4 swimmers in finals saw the Trojans build an insurmountable lead going into the last relay.

With their 21st consecutive Nassau County Championship already secure, Madison Connor, Alana Brown, Lauren Kuzma and Mia Bonvissuto swam their best 400 free relay of the season to finish in 2nd place, also qualifying them for States.

Congratulations Trojans on another County Championship, a true team effort.

It only took a few plays and James Logler recovered a fumble! The offense came back hungry for more homefield cooking. Tristan Hickis ran to the 18-yard line with a key block by Will Mattice. Timothy Levelis followed that up with a long reverse of his own. Tristan Hickis had his sights on his first touchdown of his career, and he got it on the next play! Chase Kraus walked through the open door in the middle for the extra point. Garden City - 20, Bellmore - 0.

After the kickoff, a runaway Brave managed to impressively dodge and weave for a touchdown. Their extra point attempt was denied. Garden City - 20, Bellmore - 6.

Thunder was back on offense and looking for more points. Conor Fortney and Alex Giuffre held down the middle of the offensive line while Will Mattice turned on his wheels and made a 40-yard run to the 35-yard line. Ryan Haniffy made a spiraling pass to Tristan Hickis to the 18-yard line.

Thunder would turn the ball over on the next play but the Braves would be deep in their own field.

The first half clock was ticking down and Greg Buccella and Jimmy Barry knew they needed to make a defensive stop. Cole Maio, James Logler and Gabe Cohen kept the Braves in the backfield. Will Mattice knocked down a long pass attempt and Bellmore ran out time and downs.

After the half, Angelo Cupani made a definitive tackle for a loss. Braves earned their first first down with a Thunder false start. James Logler made sure they never saw the line of scrimmage and kept the ball in the back field with excellent field position.

The advantageous field position was immediately hurt by a penalty, and

Thunder was in a 1st and 20 situation in which the boys had to huff and puff their way back to the line of scrimmage. But it was Chase Kraus’ turn to barrel his way to the 18-yard line with two runs of over 60 yards! Thunder was in hurry up mode, and Frank Dellarosa used his brute strength on three consecutive carries to score a touchdown. Chase Kraus put the cherry on top with the extra point. Garden City - 27, Bellmore - 6.

Alex Giuffre was all over the quarterback, and he couldn’t get off a good pass.

Only one yard was earned on this Brave drive because the Thunder defense was too tough. However, it should be noted that when a Thunder player knocked down a Brave, his hand was out to help him up.

Jimmy Barry and Gregory Buccella took turns running the ball up the field.

Although a score wasn’t resulted, the team was supportive of their every gain.

It was the Braves’ last opportunity to score, and Conor Fortney blocked and nearly intercepted an impressive pass.

Gabe Cohen provided constant pressure.

Mark Gemmel and Will Mattice had the last tackle.

GCHS varsity players Christian Sullivan, Juliano Izzo, Andy Borzilleri, and Chase Gardi were impressed with the level of play, but more importantly the excellent sportsmanship shown by these 11-year-old football players.

We made the playoffs and will continue this Sunday with some more home field advantage. If you want to see the future of football with the full support of its community, come see these boys play at Community Park this Sunday at 9:30.

They are the heart and soul of Thunder.

They play because they love playing. Go Thunder!

Congratulations to all the seniors on a great varsity football career that isn’t over yet The GC High Football team opened the second half of the season, the playoffs, with a decisive 42-14 victory over East Meadow this past Saturday afternoon.

The Trojans exploded into the playoffs with a dominant first half of play in all phases of the game.

Celebrating Senior Day, the last time the seniors will play at GC High, added some extra motivation to the boys on their mission to secure another title.

GC scored early and often against East Meadow, with Ford Carney starting off the scoring after a solid drive, taking it in from the 5-yard line to take a 7-0 lead. The defense took over and quickly delivered a big scoring play of their own, with Brendan Smith scooping up a fumble and returning it through multiple East Meadow players for a 26- yard touchdown. East Meadow had trouble keeping possession of the football all day against the tough defensive line of Brendan Staub, Owen Quinn, Aidan McDonough and Julianno Izzo.

The first quarter scoring concluded with Pierce Archer running in for a 15-yd TD and the momentum continued right into the second quarter with nice touchdown pass from Holden Overbeck to Jack Downey to put GC out front 28-0.

East Meadow continued to struggle to gain any offensive momentum due

to the strong pressure and tackling of the linebacking core of Christian Sullivan, Ryan McCormack and Billy Kephart and tremendous defensive line play of Brendan Staub, Owen Quinn, Aidan McDonough and Julianno Izzo.

Prior to half, the GC offense continued to surge with Ford Carney scoring his second touchdown of the game on a 56-yard pass and run for the long TD. The Trojans finished up the dominant first half with a drive led by Luke Schmitt to convert on a TD pass to Jack Downey to put the Trojans up 42-0 at half and in the position to get everyone some playing time in the second half as they get ready to head for Hofstra for the county semifinals against a tough Mepham team.

Congratulations to all the seniors on this year’s squad, who played their final home game at Warren King Field. Captains Bill Kephart, Christian Sullivan, Gavin Paskewitz, Ford Carney and Holden Overbeck have been great leaders all year long.

Good luck in the playoff run to all of the other seniors on this year’s team – Andy Borzelleri, Chase Gardi, James Crowley, Jack Thompson, Liam O’Donohue, Matt Spirakis, Daniel Mascola, Aidan Long, Brian Wood, Sal Ingrassia, Brendan Smith, Kostas Adams, Ryan McCormack, Armond Beausoleil, JP Griffith, Paul

Captains – Sullivan, Carney, Overbeck, Kephart & Paskewitz

Downey makes the touchdown grab Matina, Christian Durand, Anthony Rubio, Julianno Izzo, Zach Debler, Christian Holloway, Jack Valenti, Nate Parini, Joe Donovan, Patrick Riggers and Joe Foxen.
