IT’S ALWAYS SUMMER IN GC

BY RIKKI N. MASSAND

The fix is in for problems with the Garden City Public Library’s A/C that amplified difficult, hot summer conditions indoors and the need for fans on the second floor seven months ago. But the aging facility may need to be revisited with more than an interior redesign involving stacks, media layout and community program rooms. As the Board of Trustees reviewed and eventually approved several expense items for village facilities, questions came up and strategies for each was detailed. Resident Steve Ilardi of Meadow Street asked about a transfer of funds for $32,051 to be allocated towards replacement of the library’s HVAC unit compressor. He wanted to know if that would fully address the library second floor’s A/C, and this concern came from firsthand knowledge of conditions. Ilardi works part-time at GCPL and says last summer’s heat made for “a rough 11 weeks.” See page 37

Board votes down plaque to honor mayors BY RIKKI N. MASSAND

With a vote at its Tuesday, February 21 meeting, Garden City’s Board of Trustees disagreed on a commemorative plaque honoring all former village mayors. A new resolution presented and passed early in the month to prevent the plaque was upheld. Questions on honoring village volunteers and especially mayors took shape for the debate, and either side was represented. However the trustees voted down the initiative, to the displeasure of several residents who attended and spoke up in favor of the plaque idea. A majority of the Board disagrees with the idea first relayed by Mayor Nicholas Episcopia, who

enters his final month at the helm this March, and Trustee John Delany, who requested a week ago that this become an official agenda item for consideration. As residents commented in favor of the plaque, Delany’s basic belief was understood. He clarified before the board’s vote. “On February 2, we voted for any plaques to go up in the village to be approved by the Board of Trustees. I supported the resolution, that law and I feel firmly about it, but I bring it up now because I do think a plaque should be installed in Village Hall – a wooden plaque of some type that would indicate the mayors of this village that have served. I would vote in favor of it and I would See page 46

With a water tank redesign project still in its initial conceptual phase, the village was given a detailed look at two options during a public work session this week, with prices and aesthetics of the designs being the top consideration. The presentation highlighted a more costly pedestal spheroid tank at about $7.5 million versus a revolutionary design of composite glass-fused to steel tank, the latter of which has not yet been built anywhere on Long Island. Joe Todaro, deputy market leader for H2M’s Water division, presented at the Tuesday February 21 Board of Trustees’ meeting. He hinted at some difficulties assuring that Long Island’s construction workforce would be part of the project if the village opts for the compose glass-fused to steel model, and the representative with Aquastore told the trustees’ that Nassau/Suffolk was a new territory for their operation as they have successfully been in the upstate New York and New England region for many years. The village’s water tank was last rehabilitated in 1992, Todaro said. Bids to coat the exterior of Garden City’s existing tank have come in high each of the last 10 years, and Todaro said H2M estimates the cost for reoccurring painting costs for a pedestal spheroid tank would be $1.4 million (once every 20 years).

A WORD FROM THE PUBLISHER

Honoring our volunteers

We were sorry to hear that the Board of Trustees decided not to put up a plaque listing all of the Village’s previous mayors in Village Hall. Although we understand Trustee Bolebruch’s point that the Village government is made up solely of volunteers, we still think it would be a nice gesture to honor them. If it were up to us, we would also include the names of the other trustees as well, since they volunteer significant amounts of time to serve on the Board. Volunteerism has been at the root of Garden City’s system of government,

starting with those who volunteer at the Property Owners Associations, and those who serve on various other boards and committees. We think that expressing thanks for that service will only encourage others to think about giving up their time for the good of the community. If we are able to get a listing of the previous mayors of the Village we would be happy to publish it in the next issue of our annual Guide to Garden City, which will come out in October.

The reason for the LIRR expansion

To the Editor: Taking out the garbage is often a stinky chore. But for those in the waste management business it smells like money and with fewer places to put it, the industry has a real chance to clean up. Ever since the US Environmental Protection Agency started to close landfills here on Long Island in 1990, Long Island has been looking for ways to get rid of its trash. Currently, the millions of tons of trash generated here every year is moved off the Island by trucks but a new idea is in the works to use trains, eventually yielding operators as much as $ 100 million in annual revenues. There are only two landfills who currently accept incinerated garbage and they are either Babylon or Brookhaven. Michael Borgos, president of Queensbury, N.Y. based Green Rail Transfer plans on using the services of New York and Atlantic Railway which is the freight carrier for the Long Island Railroad’s track system to move mil-

lions of tons of garbage off of Long Island through the backyard of Nassau County’s residents all the way down to Virginia. He claims there are going to be some significant changes in the way waste removal is handled on Long Island. He and many other business men want to make sure the third track is built for the long term removal of Suffolk County’s solid waste problem. I think it stinks. Karen Reiter

Why no winners here?

To the Editor: The high schools of Long Island produced fifty-eight first round winners in the National Regeneron Science Talent Search. Jericho High School had nine winners; Great Neck South had six scholars; Herricks had six winners, etc. etc. Sad to say in this age of technology there was not one winner from our “lighthouse” high school. Perhaps we need a change in leadership? Angelo DiPippo

BY RIKKI N. MASSAND On Monday, March 27 the Garden City Historical Society’s license agreement with the Village of Garden City will expire for the land parcel of its longtime headquarters on Eleventh Street, home of the 1800s setting of the A.T. Stewart Exchange Consignment Shop. The Society turned out at this week’s Board of Trustees’ meeting to politely explain its merits and ask for an extension of the existing land use license. Mary Mahoney, the president of the Garden City Historical Society, spoke during the open public comment period. Her correspondence to the Village of Garden City requesting the extension appeared on the February 21 agenda under general communications. With time of the essence, Mahoney implores the Village Board of Trustees to continue, in partnership with the Society, the mission of “preserve Garden City’s historic character and ambiance, and foster an appreciation of the village’s past on the part of its residents.” Use of the house, which is circa 1872, originated in 1988 when the Cathedral of the Incarnation deeded the original A.T. Stewart structure to the Historical Society. In July of that year, 29 years ago, the building was moved from Fifth Street to its current Eleventh Street

location. That move was financed by state funds, and in 1988 the society entered into a land “license” agreement with the village. “For nearly 30 years the agreement has been a unique partnership between the village and the Historical Society. The Society has been in existence since 1975, and 2017 marks our 42nd year. The Society was granted an absolute charter in 1978 by the Board of Regents on behalf of the New York State Education Department – we are a 501c3 nonprofit and fully volunteer organization. All our funding comes from memberships, fundraising events, grants, donations and proceeds from the consignment shop, which is open five days a week and staffed by 45 hardworking volunteers,” Mahoney explained. She spoke about several parts of Historical Society programming, the initiative to establish a museum, and the annual Stewart Fund scholarship awarded to a Garden City senior in high school. Scout groups have worked with the society to complete community service projects. For leadership among its peers, the Garden City Historical Society held two meetings with over a dozen other Nassau County historical societies to share their best practices. Mary Mahoney said the Historical Society now has 320 members with

another 100-plus life members, including some members of the Board of Trustees. Following Mahoney was Albert Intreglia, the past president of the Garden City Historical Society, speaking in front of the Board of Trustees on the same topic. His comments shifted into the financial future of the Garden City Historical Society and its ability to operate. “We are presently working on enhancing the society’s fundraising outreach and establishing new lifetime and estate planning gift alternatives for donors. For the house’s exterior renovation project we have recently engaged Paige, a preservation architectural firm based in Manhattan, as using a preservation architect is a prerequisite if we apply for local, state or national grant monies. We have come to understand from talks with certain grant agencies, when grant awards are being considered substantial weight is put on the underlying land’s status when the applicant does not own the land,” Intreglia said. He sat among a number of Historical Society officers and directors, including Vice President Beth Watras, their treasurer Maureen Traxler, another former Historical Society president Brian Pinnola. Intreglia detailed some more recent progress. In 2003 the

Historical Society received a $260,000 Empire State Development Corp. grant with the help of State Senator Kemp Hannon. The money was used to fund a renovation of the house’s first floor and HVAC infrastructure plus exterior painting. Now the society is working on its capital campaign that has raised over $100,000 to date to have funds ready to restore the building’s exterior. The first phase of restoration work is expected to start this spring. “To this end we have held a number of fundraising events and are planning an additional fundraiser at the Garden City Country Club this May,” he said at Tuesday’s meeting. He also referenced the Society’s full page ‘Thank You’ ad that appeared in The Garden City News, thanking members, supporters and donors from 2016. Intreglia served as president from 2011 through 2015, and he remains on their board of trustees. He was acknowledged exactly a year ago by Mahoney (presented with a Historical Society press release in the February 19, 2016 edition of The Garden City News) for his work on behalf of the preservation of St. Paul’s School and for his support of the Committee to Save St. Paul’s as well as “strengthening the relationship

On Wednesday, February 15th, the Community Club of Garden City and Hempstead was treated to a delightful performance of The Mysterious Affair At Styles by Agatha Christi. The one hour adaptation of the play, based on one of Christie’s first novels, was presented by the Pantheon Players, most of whom are experienced actors in local community theatre. Hercule Poirot, Christie’s famous detective, makes his first appearance in this charming mystery. Nancy E. Keegen (who directed and played two roles) and Harry Gross organized the performance by special arrangement with Playscripts, Inc. The company consisted of: Alyssa Booth, Nick Decesare, George Despotis, Harry Gross, Jamie Haughney, Nancy E. Keegan, and Robert Kirsch. The clever directing and actors’ skill really brought out the complex suspense, humor and charm that are

Agatha Christie trademarks. There were smiles, chuckles and laughter from the audience in response to a most enjoyable performance. Refreshments were served at the conclusion of the program. Arrangements for the program were handled by Prem Chauhan. Barbara Burke and Josephine Krawczyk greeted participants and guests. Ruth Bosco, Ann Heinzelmann and Emilie Sair provided hospitality, while Louise Abitabile and Judy Mauro served hot beverages. Judy Mauro also prepared publicity. 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.

At Tuesday’s meeting Mayor Nicholas Episcopia asked if the Historical Society has retained any legal counsel for the license agreement nego-

tiation, and Mahoney answered that the organization has identified an attorney who could serve in that role but not paid for their services. The mayor advised her that as soon as possible, any counsel working on behalf of the Historical Society could contact Village Attorney Peter Bee to negotiate something. “He (Bee) will come back to the Board and see if it’s acceptable,” the mayor told Mahoney.

Trump and his enemies BY BOB MORGAN, JR. If you live in this part of the country, or in California, you will encounter numerous folks holding strong opinions against President Donald Trump. These are people who are fixated on the failures, shortcomings and policy choices of our 45th President. For example, many are convinced that reports of connections between some of Mr. Trump's supporters and Russians will blow up into a scandal of Watergate-like proportions and that Mr. Trump may be impeached and quite possibly will be forced to leave office. To be sure, Mr. Trump has committed enough unforced errors to provide fodder for opponents who claim that he is untruthful, incompetent or even unhinged. For example, Mr. Trump managed to conflate a Fox News report on crime in Sweden by immigrants with an actual terrorist attack in that country on Friday. More generally, the rollout of the executive order relating to immigration from seven countries was badly botched, as there was much confusion over whether the order applied to green card holders. (Eventually it was determined that the order, which is now being rewritten after legal setbacks, does not apply to persons with green cards.) Mr. Trump also has a penchant for exaggeration on a variety of subjects from urban crime to the extent of illegal voting. Nevertheless, I believe that the anti-Trump forces are likely overplaying their hand with the constant demonstrations, all-out opposition in the entertainment industry (and a good deal of the media), high level of partisanship in Congress and social ostracism of Trump supporters, something that blogger Stephen Green describes as keeping the opposition “cranked up to 11”. It is true that Mr. Trump’s approval ratings are lower than those of other recently inaugurated Presidents at this point in the term, but I believe much of this is related to this total opposition blitz, which is unprecedented in recent years. And there are a number of signs favorable to the President. First, Mr. Trump retains the strong support (around 90 percent)

he enjoyed in the 2016 election among Republicans. Indeed, a CNN report this week following up on Republican voters, including ones who had been quite skeptical of Mr. Trump during the primary season, indicated that these voters continued to be very supportive of the President, with only a few quibbles about his style. Yes, this is Mr. Trump’s base, but a path toward a serious crisis for Mr. Trump would likely begin with evidence of loss of support among these core voters. Second, there is a distinct possibility that overheated rhetoric by opponents of Mr. Trump is losing people who otherwise might be moving away from Mr. Trump. In a piece in The New York Times on Sunday, Sabrina Tavernise describes the effect on moderate conservatives as “chipping away at their middle ground and pushing them closer to Mr. Trump”. And the people being turned off are not all hard core Republicans. As the piece notes, moderates who lean Republican support Mr. Trump by 70 percent to 20 percent, according to a recent Pew poll. Could Mr. Trump be impeached or completely lose his support? I suppose he could be impeached if some evidence emerged of direct involvement by Mr. Trump in an actual deal to gain support for his candidacy in exchange for concessions to Russia. Otherwise, not by this Republican House, and Democrats only have limited prospects for the 2018 Congressional elections (for example, Mr. Trump carried 230 House districts). As for losing his support, I suppose he could if the economy suddenly lurched into recession, or if there were a clearly disastrous foreign policy decision. But there is considerable economic optimism right now, with markets at record highs. It is entirely possible that if times remain good people will simply shrug off Mr. Trump’s blustery personality and occasional policy lurches. At some point, anti-Trump zealots are going to have to put out down their placards and recognize that Mr. Trump is not going anytime soon.

Friday, February 24, 2017 The Garden City News

Garden City Public Schools: Question of the Week In alignment with the Board of Education’s goal of enhancing communication with the community, Garden City Public Schools continues its “Question of the Week” feature. Q: What are some of the challenges in creating a school budget today? A: Looking at the revenue side of the budget – the dollars and cents needed to implement Garden City Public School’s educational program, the first challenge faced by the district is presenting a budget in compliance with Education Law. Other than large city school systems, Education Law requires school districts to present an annual budget to voters for approval. The “Big 5” large city school districts include Buffalo, New York City, Rochester, Syracuse, and Yonkers. Referenda are not required in these districts; school budgets are a component of the cities’ municipal budget. Similar to the nearly 700 public school systems in New York State, Garden City Public Schools must present a budget to voters each year that complies with Education Law, including the tax levy limit. The “tax cap” law requires school districts to present a budget referendum to voters that remains within a 2% increase OR the Consumer Price Index rate of inflation,

whichever is LOWER. Since its implementation for the 2012-2013 school year, the tax levy limit is calculated each year by each school district using the state’s 8-step formula. This formula yields a district’s “maximum allowable tax levy.” However, in practice, the law has been problematic, and in some cases has had negative consequences when major components of a school budget, including both the measurable financial and hard-to-quantify “opportunity costs” (time employees spend on compliance) of state and federal unfunded mandates, increases expenditures without providing districts with a way to increase revenues proportionally. Even the increases a district may experience due to increases in enrollment are not included in the tax levy limit formula. The state did provide a provision in the law for a district to present a budget to voters that exceeds its tax levy limit, but the budget must then pass by a 60% “supermajority” of the vote, thus giving more weight to the “no” votes (1.2). Garden City Public Schools has remained within the cap since the tax levy limit law went into effect, including its proposed budget for the upcoming 2017-2018 school year: 1.35% (with STAR). Because the budget Garden

City School District will be presenting for public vote on May 16th (6 a.m. to 10 p.m. at Garden City High School) is within its tax levy limit, a simple majority of the vote is required for passage. A second challenge faced by school districts is the uncertainty of state aid. “The most trying piece in formulating the school budget is the state aid picture,” explained Garden City’s Assistant Superintendent for Business & Finance Dana DiCapua. Although revenue from property taxes makes up the majority of the school budget, state aid makes up nearly 6% of the budget ($5,996,309 for the current school year). What the state provides can vary each year. However, the Governor’s budget is not approved until (typically) April 1st. So, at best, districts are making a “best guess” using past state aid figures when building the budget before April 1st. A third revenue challenge districts face has to do with PILOTs (Payment in Lieu of Taxes) within their taxing districts. Local Industrial Development Agencies (IDAs) can incentivize local businesses by granting PILOTs – effectively, a reduction in taxes in exchange for attracting and retaining businesses. IDAs are not required by law to offer school business officials a vote

when these decisions are made. A recent example that could have affected Garden City Public Schools was the PILOT granted to LIPA properties within the district’s borders which affected revenue and the tax rate. Although the district prevailed in a court appeal, PILOTs remain another moving piece in the school revenue challenge. Ms. DiCapua emphasized one final challenge - one that squeezes revenues in a way that limits the educational choices of the board and administration: “Developing new programs in the tax cap era is very difficult - it’s a zerosum game.” Considering the challenges the board and administration face in formulating a school budget, input from the community is critical. Residents are encouraged to attend budget meetings to become involved in the process. If you are interested but unable to attend one or more budget meetings, all meeting presentations are posted the following day on the district website: www.gardencity.k12.ny.us, under the maroon sidebar “Budget Information.” Additionally, all of the “Questions of the Week” are posted and updated on the website as they are released.

Trouble at School

Change in Grades

In 1910, the Garden City Company decided to develop the area east of Franklin Avenue. It was decided a large double roadway would be the centerpiece of the new development. Inspired by what the Garden City Estates Corporation had done with Nassau Blvd. a few years earlier, the Garden City Company wanted this double roadway to be the most beautiful drive on the Island. This photo shows Stewart Avenue East from Washington Avenue looking eastward. The lone house on the right was one of the first built and is still there today. Interestingly, the original intent in 1910 was for the double roadway to go to the hotel and not just Franklin Avenue. In fact, houses (where Village Hall is today) from the 1870’s were dragged north to Ninth Street and turned around and are still there on the south side of Ninth Street. All that effort but the double roadway never made it that far.

SOCIALLY SPEAKING

Spring fun to drive away winter With ATHENA The snow is finally going away and you can see patches of green grass and you can see patches of green grass and the temperatures are going up to those of a spring day. Let us all hope that it stays pretty much as it is as of now. I know that the children are happy when there is snow, but they will change their minds as they grow older. Did you get your mailing from Winthrop on their Spring Community Education Programs for 2017? They start on February 28th and go through May 24th. The programs are free and meet in various places so you can call 516-663-8300 for more information and to find out where they are. You can also probably ask for a card of information on this. It will be worth your while. Coe Hall at Planting Fields had a wonderful Camellia Weekend, and they had good weather for it. If you missed it, you can go on your own and view the camellias in their own greenhouse and finish off with a tour of the main greenhouse. It will bring Spring home to you as just about nothing else will. Daylight Savings Time will start on March 12th and Spring will come in on March 20th. Now that should lighten your heart and thoughts. In spite of the weather we have been having, my daffodil leaves are up already. You should check them if you have daffodils. Another plus is that it seems that Easter is just around the corner. Keep your fingers crossed. Now if all this news does not lighten your heart - what could be your problem? Another spot of moving along to Spring was provided by the Community Club of Garden City and Hempstead. The Garden Department made five arrangements - all different as they watched and then they took a chance that gave five ladies a chance to pick the one they wanted and take it home. As the demonstration was done on St. Valentine’s Day it was even nicer. Clark Botanic Garden will hold another program on Sunday, March 5th at 1 p.m. The speaker will be

Pat Summerstad who will present “New York, New York: The World In a City!” Her program will introduce you to the amazing variety of ethnic neighborhoods with an emphasis on the best food destinations. The fee is $10 for members and $12 for guests. Refreshments will be served. Make your reservations today. This past weekend was a sure winner with its sun and weather so I took myself out to Planting Fields to check out the camellias and both greenhouses and they are a wonderful sight so do try for it within the next week or two. It really did help that the weather was so mild and the sun helped too. Do get out in this because there is still March to get through. Our crocus bulbs are beginning to peep out from the ground and it gives us hope that it will not be too long until Spring and the birds and flowers who will be with us again. The next holiday we have to look forward to is St. Patrick’s Day and of course the parade on Fifth Avenue in the city. For many years I have watched the parade on TV and enjoyed it very much. While it is better in person, it is more comfortable in your own house in front of your TV, but watching it live is truly better so go for it. On March 1st the Community Club will start off with an Irish Program by Joe Chojnacki and this will be followed by two trips. On Wednesday, March 29th to the museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology. The first one will be “Parish Refashioned: 1957-1968” and the second is “Black Fashion Designers” on the African American designers and their effect on fashion. The club will kick of March with a musical Irish program so wear your green! Keep your fingers crossed that we will have good weather from now on as my daffodils are coming up! See you next week.

Celebrating the “New Year of the Rooster”

From page 1 For GCPL’s future, Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi explained that the village is looking at both the short term and long term with its expense there. “Inter-County Mechanical Corp. services our HVAC systems both at Village Hall and the library. Last year we had an issue on the second floor, identified as a compressor. It is an old system but they can maintain it. We are also simultaneously having it looked at by two other HVAC companies giving us estimates on the remaining life for both buildings’ HVAC systems and if we can phase in a replacement schedule, and at what cost,” Suozzi said. Just before the trustees approved the $32,051 along with a mass amount of other items, the former Village Board liaison to the Library Board, Trustee Robert Bolebruch, nodded to Ilardi’s note and added a comment. “As we all have seen with the GCPL elevator we will fix whatever we need to, and if we need to eventually replace it we will,” he said.

Building Dept. Scans Savings

In the absence of Superintendent of Building Ausberto Huertas, Village Administrator Suozzi spoke about the final bid award of $108,438 to DRS Imaging Services of New Jersey, the low bidder, to complete the much-discussed capital project for digitally scanning Garden City’s building department documents, drafted plans and files. Six vendors were invited to bid but four were received. According to Suozzi, Village Trustee Theresa Trouvé and other trustees Huertas outdid himself in working hard to secure the lowest possible cost to the village for the digital conversion. “It was a long time in the making and originally forecast as a $266,000 spend for the first year. Because of due diligence and working with the village attorney we were able to find multiple vendors able to bid on this. Mr. Huertas really did a nice job and I want to compliment him, the award price ($108,438) is a significant savings we’re looking at,” Suozzi said. Trustee Trouvé added that Huertas has a good sense of vision and a good brand of management. “I can’t emphasize enough the amount of money Mr. Huertas saved the village. Initially we were deep into discussions with a company that was going to do extra things and charge roughly $500,000. Huertas has also taken a sharp look at the budget for the Buildings Department, he came in well under the number that he should and he invited (Village Treasurer) Irene Woo, with Trustee Delany and myself as liaisons to that department, to go over that budget with him,” she said. Huertas could not attend the February 21 meeting because the date

conflicted with his team’s annual New York State certification, Suozzi said.

Senior Center contract amended

This week the Board of Trustees approved a slate of change orders for the Golf Club Lane Senior Center, capping the same month that the community celebrates the building’s first year of operation. Total supplemental contracts, detailed on the meeting agenda, were a combined $40,966. Of that amount the largest expense was for sprinkler heads mandated by the fire marshal at a cost of $23,151. Another $8,095 was approved for the power supply to the fire alarm and exterior LED light fixtures, and smaller amounts were for wiring and electrical connections. The February 21, 2017 trustees’ agenda stated that some of the additional contract work was required by the Nassau County Fire Marshal and the village for the facility to be code compliant and fully functional prior to the center’s February 28, 2016 grand opening. Joe Leto of Seventh Street asked the Village Board about the agenda items and the compliance of the center with fire code, if anything has impacted the validity of Garden City’s certificate of occupancy. He was assured Garden City never entered a situation where seniors or anyone else were in the facility in the past year and it was not up to code, making the as-needed work by since the day it opened. Village Administrator Suozzi explained. “The fire marshal has at his discretion the ability to put more strict standards than our village code and New York State law requires, and that was the case involving the Senior Center’s hood over the kitchen stove (range). They also wanted underground sprinkler systems that went beyond the code. They also wanted a small heater placed up in the attic. These things took time because we had to get them redesigned and order equipment and then we had to get the county fire marshal back for multiple inspections. Everything was done to code, we went above and beyond what was requested by the fire marshal,” Suozzi said Tuesday night. To top off the year’s wait the final work orders were simply late to come in from the contractor as Deputy Mayor Silver said the specifics were “caught up in the builder’s bureaucratic processes before ultimately arriving to us (the village).” He reiterated that the sprinkler installations were done before the center opened last February. “We did not use the range until all the work was completed and it was certified by the fire marshal. AT NO TIME did we have people in an unsafe building or were using the building in an unsafe way,” Deputy Mayor Silver said. On February 21 the Village Board also unanimously voted to accept the $1.307 million maintenance bond on the construction of the senior center from Advanced Builders & Land

Development, guaranteeing the completed work for one year. At the meeting Kevin Ocker, the village’s department head for Parks and Recreation, announced that after the appropriations from the Village Board on February 2, the village’s contractor is mobilizing on the construction plan for the third turf field, the Multi-sport field at Community Park. Recreation has defined a construction area with a fence to start. Approved along with multiple Board of Trustees’ agenda items February 21 was $99,750 for consultants’ Cameron Engineering to prepare and administer construction (oversight) associated with the Multi-sport field, with a date range of March 1 until June 30. The LED lighting project for the village’s tennis facility is also underway. It should be completed before February ends. Meanwhile, renovation and upgrading work continuing at St. Paul’s fieldhouse and Cluett Hall has shifted into replacing landings and carpeting. Also with Parks and Recreation expenses, a Village Board discussion on the pool preparations for the 2017 summer, sparked at the February 2 meeting, resulted in more allocations this week. The Board approved a $30,000 transfer of funds from “Pool – Operational Staff” to “Pool – Materials and Supplies.” The facility will be outfitted with new tables, chairs, lounges and waste recep-

tacles with that cost, and the waste bins were a talking point for the Recreation Commission as a way of controlling bees and insects as they would likely include lids. The pool’s 2017 preparation process started with February 2, when a sum of $19,600 for the purchase and installation of a new shade structure was approved in two separate Recreation expenditures. A little more than half that amount was part of a transfer of $77,500 into the pool enterprise fund’s “Pool Maintenance of Plant” account, taken out from the Village General Fund. Trustee Stephen Makrinos also asked about progress to replace the bathrooms at the St. Paul’s Fieldhouse. As reported by The Garden City News on December 16, 2016, Makrinos had suggested to Ocker that any new flooring be installed after the bathroom work was completed, and Ocker assured him; “we will protect the floors in the short run and as the project comes up.” On Tuesday night Ocker told him that the village would enter the phase of seeking low bids for the bathroom project. He added there’s no set date for the bid opening but it close. In December Ocker said this would be a far less extensive project with internal bathrooms’ renovation than for the freestanding fixture outside at the St. Paul’s Fields. In a 2005 letter See page 41

A water tank puzzle for GC Village Board

From page 1 the base to last a 100-year tank life would be maintenance-free. Pedestal spheroid tanks take up to a year – eight months to build it and four months to paint it, Todaro explained. Meanwhile the composite glass-fused to steel would take six months to build, half the time. Todaro said the cost of ownership for a pedestal spheroid, with maintenance including repainting costs, would be a total of $10.4 million, of that the structure needs $7.5 million in capital costs. The glassfused to steel composite would be an investment of $6.1 million of capital costs, and its maintenance in every 15-year period would be a lot lower, involving inspection and replacement of a few panels and perhaps some caulking, Todaro told the Village Board. The website for Aquastore states that its tanks have the least cost of maintenance of all other types of tanks, and they have the longest “tank-life” as well as the smallest environmental footprint, with appearance benefits like no caulking, no fading or discoloring. A couple of vague suggestions for a type of tank made by Todaro on Tuesday night frustrated the Village Board a bit. Trustee Robert Bolebruch explained qualms by a few members of the Board of Trustees, after Deputy Mayor Richard Silver had questioned Todaro on finance details. “My feeling is if you (H2M) are a hired consultant and we’re paying X amount of dollars for your service, you should come to the podium before us and say you’ve done research, here is the village and we are replacing the water tank once every 100 years and here is the best choice for a tank, here’s the reasons why. If we wanted to sit there and see what the low bids are, why don’t we bid out all six different designs? If I pay a consultant I expect that you know the business, you know the industry, you come back to me and give the recommendation. You should explain why this is where we as a village should spent millions and millions of dollars,” Bolebruch said. The trustee’s next question was the competition of the industry to manufacture glass-fused steel tanks, and the product representative from Aquastore told him they are alone on U.S. soil in this niche. Another such manufacturer/company in Britain was explained. Bolebruch ascertained that the only way for Garden City to get the glass-fused to steel tank built was to employ the services of Aquastore. Mayor Nicholas Episcopia asked the representative to provide contacts in other municipalities that have Aquastore tanks for them to “chat with Garden City” about comparable size tanks (one million gallons is proposed). Trustee Stephen Makrinos broke down some key statistics and realized the village was hearing a discount of tank life from an average 40 years to 30 years. Trustee Bolebruch immediately raised the red flag at this and said the village shouldn’t opt for anything less than an approximate tank life of approaching 100 years, as the current water tank has lasted for 84 years. The replacement of the bowl and not the foundation also came into question of about a 30-year period. Todaro said that after a 30-year period the estimate of replacing a bowl would be $2.4 million. The numbers didn’t nearly satisfy Trustee Bolebruch’s concern on the investment. “We are talking about saving $1.4 million for a tank that you’re estimating to last 30 years? I could spend $8 million and have a 100-year use or I could spend $7 million and three times in 100 years (every 33 years) I’d have to spend another $7.5 million to replace the bowl?” Bolebruch said. Maintenance costs and re-painting associated with the tanks other than glass-fused to steel came up and

Residents at the Tuesday February 21 Board of Trustees’ meeting, several of whom spoke about the idea of a plaque listing former Garden City mayors’ names. there was discord across the room. Both Todaro and the Aquastore representative said every 15 to 20 years a ‘blast for recoating’ would come up. That would be a $1.4 million stand-alone cost if done this year. Aquastore told the trustees Garden City would need to spend $3 million once every 20 years to maintain a tank like it has up now. He swore traditional tank manufacturers would assess costs the same. Trustee Makrinos asked for a definitive answer on tank life, and the Aquastore representative said his glass-fused to steel product (if well-maintained) would be that 100-year solution. He says H2M respectfully took a conservative approach with its latest presentation “just to be safe.” Makrinos asked what the longest life to date of an Aquastore tank is, and he heard the reply that the glass fused to steel technology is just 70 years old. Resident Kathleen Auro later asked for clarification as several residents were put off thinking that it was just a seven-year-old technology. Makrinos also asked about the impacts of local weather on the glass fused to steel design tanks. Aquastore said an advantage it has seen no effects on the tanks from harsh weather. “It’s a much stronger coating finish than you get from an oxy-coated tank” they replied. Todaro explained that glass-fused to steel tanks would need a 50-foot base, wider than the pedestal spheroid would need, with 30 feet at the tank part’s bottom dropping down to a 10-foot base. The effect of pedestals would essentially be a “golf ball on a tee.” Aquastore’s representative admits that the biggest negative with their product is the aesthetics and visual impacts, and that aspect has caused the company to lose some jobs in municipalities who want that feature. He did say that on Old Country Road the tank isn’t right in the middle of a neighborhood and the question of aesthetics isn’t the same as with other towns. Trustee Jon DeMaro told him that the current tank is “a little out of the way but still among a residential area.” Residents followed up with questions on the project. Steve Ilardi of Meadow Street asked about an agenda item listed under Village Administrator as a

“license agreement” between the Village of Garden City and the Ethical Humanist Society of Long Island (EHS). He heard Administrator Suozzi explain how the village will face this project, just east of the EHS parking lot and in an area of greenspace that could be needed for staging the construction of the new tank and the demolition phase of the existing one. “When the tank project is completed we will restore the greenspace as an extension of the (EHS) existing parking field and add some landscaping and a curb cut. We’re paving it and enhancing it for them,” Suozzi said. Mayor Episcopia asked if the EHS was considering seeding and grass grading too for that space but Suozzi told him that was part of preliminary talks. Now the direction is to pave the portion of greenspace. Resident Joe Leto watched the February 21 presentation and said he was pleased that the Board of Trustees “saw through the presentation of the consultant.” He was under the impression the presentation was steered toward the contractor that came to the meeting, as Aquastore is the sole vendor of the composite glass-fused to steel tanks. While the trustees understood why Leto and other residents got that impression, they were quick to dispel that notion. “That’s not what happened, H2M is not pushing anything. We asked him to come and for H2M to make a presentation because this was something where the particular contractor (Aquastore) is a specialist in that type of water tower. I did not know that this type even existed and I found this through the mayor of Farmingdale who told me, and we went over some costs,” Mayor Episcopia told Leto. The mayor commented that his conversation was sparked by associates within the Nassau County Village Officials Association and by hearing of a $2 million ballpark figure for replacing a much larger water tank in Farmingdale. Mayor Episcopia outlined the next step for Aquastore to send H2M their references in other towns or villages, with comparable million-gallon tanks as close as possible to New York City and the same size. H2M will also return, and the trustees hope for progress this spring.

Four Friends and a Babymoon Travel California’s Highway 1 Discovery Route BY DAVE E. LEIBERMAN, LAINI MIRANDA, MAYA KESSEL, ANDREW KESSEL

“For three days we have called Morro Bay home while we explored the quaint fishing village packed with water activities and amazing food, and visited nearby attractions including Hearst Castle and the Elephant Seal Rookery on Piedras Blancas (s outh along what has come to be known as the CA Highway 1 Discovery Route, a scenic 101-mile stretch of Highway 1 along Coastal San Luis Obispo County, from Ragged Point to the dunes of Nipomo, with scores of picturesque villages, uncrowded beaches, state parks and wilderness areas, and bountiful wine regions. Our destination is Avila Beach, an inlet cove off the Pacific that features several piers, a fabulous beach, golf course and a great wine trail in downtown Avila, hidden among the restaurants and shops. We make it to Kelsey See Canyon Vineyard just before sunset. Through an unintended series of adoptions years back, over 200 peacocks now roam the winery. This is not your typical wine tour stop and we suggest budgeting extra time for Kelsey. The Vineyard is family owned and these are some of the friendliest and most welcoming hosts you’ll meet anywhere. If you are not into wine, come for the art or the newly developing hard cider production. During much of the year the family hosts local musicians and barbecues on site for local patrons and club members, taking advantage of their spacious outside seating area. Over the

This is truly a family business in all senses. They’ll make you feel so at home you won’t want to leave. The roots of their story about how they got into wine go way back. Originally the family was involved with abalones and through

a series of industry transformations they became wine producers. Colleen, the Kelseys’ niece, is an artist whose latest endeavors include jazz-inspired paintings which often appear on the wine bottles. Her most iconic piece – referencing the family roots of deep sea abalone diving and her love of mermaids, originally painted on a surfboard – is the Kelsey signature.

Leading our tour is Jac Jacobs, an industry veteran who’s worked at many vineyards, but has found what seems like a second family here at Kelsey. Jac is the most down-to-earth, knowledgeable winemaker we’ve ever met. You will leave feeling like you can explain wine to others without sounding pretentious. One of the most amazing things

about Jac is that he had never had cider before starting to work for Kelsey. But when they asked him to make cider he said, “Sure.” He used his novel approach and invented a new cider. Typically, the sweetness in cider comes from the apple’s natural fermentation process, but early on, Jac adds a little bit of sugar to the mixture, creating a unique cider that is neither too sweet or too bitter. When it comes to apples, Kelsey is most known for their Golden Delicious Chardonnay, a crisp white wine that is dangerously drinkable. Although the heart of this operation is at their winery in Avila, their online shop lets you enjoy Kelsey wines from other parts of the country as well.

(Kelsey See Canyon Vineyard, 1947 See Canyon Road San Luis Obispo, CA 93405 www.KelseyWine.com) After our wine and cider tasting at Kelsey, we check into The Sycamore Mineral Springs Resort & Spa, the perfect destination for a relaxing and romantic getaway and our babymoon. Each guest room and suites features a terrace with its own mineral springs hot tub. On a cool winter night, it’s a perfect way to unwind from an active day. We stay in “Heavenly”, a 2-bedroom, 2-bath Suite. There is one queen bedroom and an even larger master bedroom with ensuite bathroom, both with access to the private terrace. The setup is perfect for a family or (in our case) for two couples. The living room is spacious and comfortable with a large modern flat

If you do decide to cook, this suite offers a fully equipped kitchen with a large wooden cutting board even built into the countertop. The Sycamore is just a few steps away from the Avila Valley Barn and a quick 4-minute drive from some incredible restaurants on the beach. The Sycamore is a destination for both locals and tourists. It has a Yoga Dome with daily fitness classes included with your reservation. If you want to bump it up a notch, treat yourself at their award winning spa. For daytime guests, there are also 23

open-air naturally heated mineral spring hot tubs on the hillside around the property, as well as a private Oasis Waterfall Lagoon, all rentable by the hour. If you end up renting Pedego bikes nearby, this would be an idyllic pit-stop. The gift shop is worth a quick look and accompanies the relaxing paradise perfectly.

Everything we try is delectable and we’ll tell you exactly what to order. The Brussel sprouts are crispy, roasted just perfectly to a slight char and accompanied by a balsamic reduction, goat cheese, and orange sauce. If you don’t love Brussel sprouts this could change your mind. The mussels are another not-to-be-missed appetizer with a garlicky broth that may make you want to lick the shell when no one’s looking and grab more of the focaccia bites to dip in. The basil pesto risotto with burrata (to which we add shrimp), is succulent and not your everyday risotto. Since we skip the salad

this time, we opt for the side of pan roasted garlic broccolini. Our helpful waiter Jake recommends the scallops. Scallops and calamari are two local favorites we see at many of the restaurants in the area. The Normand wood fired white pizza with brie, sliced apples, arugula, and garlic cream sauce had us licking our fingers. The local Morro Bay blackened cod with miso-glaze and Thai-inspired sauce and salad is incredibly flavorful. The texture is perfectly flakey and this is possibly the best fish we have on the entire trip. But now, as far as the best anything anywhere, we’ll tell you about the desert. Eating the brown butter chocolate chip skillet cookie with ice cream and hot fudge is a race against time; from the moment

you smell it coming out of the kitchen to the 60 seconds before you get to the last bite (because you will eat it that fast). Save room. The combination of hardened chocolate shell on top of the creamy, cold pure vanilla ice cream on a sizzling freshly baked chocolate chip cookie is perfect. As we finish our dessert Jake comes by and asks: “Should I load you up another?” If your waiter asks you this, the obvious answer is yes. We almost finish the second one before our friend makes it back to the table. This is a family friendly restaurant perfect for foodie families. We see a number of children during our visit who may actually be convinced to eat their vegetables here. Definitely bring a bottle or two of wine from Kelsey Vineyards up the

road which pairs great for the meal. Like most restaurants in this area you can bring the wine from your recent wine tasting and for a small corkage fee have your waiter pair your dinner with your own bottle(s). At Ocean Grill, you can eat in the more casual bistro area near the bar or enter into the more intimate dining enclosed porch area overlooking the ocean with heat lamps to keep you cozy in the winter. We enjoy a nice stroll on the beach after dinner seconds away while listening to the waves crash against the shore. It is the perfect ending to a perfect meal.

W R I T E R’S C O R N E R

The terminology changes that affect us every day BY CLAIRE LYNCH When I started working full-time in 1977, certain things didn’t exist. Cell phones, fax machines, smart phones, Google and smart watches weren’t around. In the 1980s the Internet was being tinkered with but it took a recognizable form thanks to computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee when he invented the World Wide Web in 1990. It went global in August 1991. To tell you the truth that name Tim Berners-Lee doesn’t sound familiar to me but “www” does and so does the “Net” and “Internet.” So many changes have taken place since the early 90s! Facebook started in 2004 and this “new social media” has changed millions of lives. High school and college friends have reconnected. We can post photos and messages or send private “Instant Messages” if we like with the simple press of a button. Just to give you a few examples, some new terms are: Navigate – The act of moving around the Web by clicking on hypertext links (or paths) that take you from one Web page to another. As you navigate, you move from one computer to another and from one server to another without realizing it. Cookies – A small file that a web server automatically sends to your personal computer when you browse certain websites. The identifying information they contain includes login credentials including usernames and passwords, shopping cart information and preferences. They’re stored as text files on your hard drive so servers can access them when you return to websites you’ve visited before. Hot Spot – This term refers to places that have wireless Internet connections. Many national and local retailers, especially coffee shops, are adding wireless hot spots to provide the tech-savvy another reason to stop in and spend some money and some time. “Altwork” Station – Now you can

sit, stand or recline while focusing on your laptop or computer monitor. It looks like a dental chair and can be maneuvered just as easily. I’m used to perching myself on a computer chair in front of my computer monitor but now there are so many alternatives! Artificial Intelligence – Defined as a branch of computer science dealing with the simulation of intelligent behavior in computers and the capability of a machine to imitate intelligent human behavior. This is another thing that scientists have been working on for decades but this branch of computer science is becoming more and more commonplace in our society. Robots can pick up things, move things, etc. A good example is a robot being programmed to fetch items in a huge warehouse – or conversely, to stock things in a warehouse. The concept of making computers behave like humans has been around for a long time because there are many tasks that robots can do 24/7. Cache – Is a data storing technique that provides the ability to access data or files at a higher speed. A very common example of caching is in a Web browser, where a website’s HTML, images, CSS, Javascript, etc. is cached locally so that a page will load faster after its first hit. Firewall – Is software used to maintain the security of a private network. Firewalls block unauthorized access to or from private networks and are often employed to prevent unauthorized Web users or illicit software from gaining access to private networks connected to the Internet. It could be implemented using hardware, software, or a combination of both. A firewall is the first line of defense in securing sensitive information. Traffic – The amount of people who visit a website. I always instinctively thought of traffic as snarls on the Long Island Expressway or the Northern State Parkway but in computer terms, it’s different. Download – The term “download”

technically means receiving information from the Internet to an individual local computer. The information could be in the form of a text file, upgrade, movie, music, etc. Piracy – The unauthorized copying of software. Most programs are licensed for use at just one computer or by only one user at any time. When you buy software, you become a licensed user and are allowed to make copies of the program for backup purposes. You are not the owner of the software, however, and it is against the law to give copies to friends or colleagues. A pirate is someone who does this although in prior years whenever I heard the word “pirate” I naturally thought of Johnny Depp in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies. Bootstrap – Bootstrap is the process of loading a set of instructions when a computer is first turned on or booted. During the start-up process, diagnostic tests are performed such as the power-on self-test that set or check configurations for devices and implement routine testing for the connection of peripherals, hardware and external memory devices. The bootstrap program is then loaded to initialize the operating system. I always thought of the old saying, “You can pull yourself up by your bootstraps,” that is, make a new start. Oh well. What a difference! Coaxial cable – The primary type of cabling used by the cable television industry and widely used for computer networks, it is more expensive than standard telephone wires but less susceptible to interference and more capable of carrying data. Your cable TV probably is connected with “coaxial cable.” Javascript – A computer programming language used to create interactive effects within web browsers. For example, it allows you to perform calculations, write interactive games, add special effects, check forms, create security passwords, customize graphics, and so on. It has become the standard equipment in virtually all web

browsers and is well-suited to a large range of non-web-related applications. Hosting Servers – The web servers where website files are housed, served and maintained. Registrar – A company that registers domain names, like GoDaddy or domains.google.com. HTML – “Hyper-text markup language.” The language used to direct the architecture of your website, landing pages, and emails. HTML lays out the structure of your website, from the title and first header, to a bulleted list, to your footer. Bandwidth – The technical definition of “bandwidth” involves the difference between two frequencies and the amount of information that can flow through a channel, as expressed in cycles per second (hertz). It also refers to the range of frequencies (not the speed), or the measured amount of information, that can be transmitted over a connection: the higher the frequency, the higher the bandwidth and the greater the capacity of a channel to carry information. For a digital channel, bandwidth is defined in bits per second (bps). For an analog channel, it is dependent on the type and method of modulation used to encode the data. Broadcast TV channels, for example, all have the same bandwidth, by FCC rule. Defrag – Short for defragmentation. To optimize your hard drive, usually with a program that “cleans it up” and makes it run as smoothly as possible. If you’ve ever made a return visit to a website like Amazon and seen content tailored to your user preferences that’s because on your first visit, a cookie was installed. When you came back, the website server read your cookie and recognized you. (blog.hubspot.com) Interface – It is the portion of a program that interacts between a user and an application, meaning it is what you see on the computer screen. It usually refers to “user interface,” which consists of the set of operating system See page D5

More Questions About the Earnings Penalty BY TOM MARGENAU

In a recent column, I explained to readers who are under 66 and working how they could work with Social Security’s complicated earnings penalty rules to avoid the oftentimes nightmarish bureaucratic hassles involved in dealing with the Social Security Administration on these antiquated laws. (Rather than rehash the whole story, I suggest that readers who missed the column from a week before last go to their newspaper’s online archives to find it -- or go to my syndicate’s website: www.creators.com.) I should have predicted the reaction from two sources. A few current or former Social Security Administration employees criticized me. And many regular readers of the column thanked me and had even more questions. First, an example of a complaint from an SSA employee, and then some questions from readers. Q: I think you are boneheaded and just plain wrong to advise your readers to lie to the Social Security Administration. Your tactics can only lead to problems. Will you please retract your last column? A: No, I will not retract it. I stand by my advice. And I really didn’t tell my readers to lie to SSA. OK, maybe I advised them to fib a little. Or to be more precise, I encouraged them to delay reporting their earnings to you as long as possible. All the facts eventually get reported to SSA and the government gets the money they are due -- in the form of repaid Social Security benefits. It’s just that under my plan, it all happens at one time, as opposed to the piecemeal approach that regular SSA procedures call for. Q: I am a 64-year-old retiree who took a job last year and got tangled up in a web of Social Security overpayment letters and appeals and returned checks and other hassles. I wish I would have read your column before I got into this mess. That’s water under the bridge now. But can you please tell me why we are penalized in the first place if we try to work? A: If Donald Trump calls me up and asks me to be the “King of Social Security,” the very first thing I would do is eliminate the earnings penalty rules that plague working senior citizens under age 66. Here is a little bit of history. When Social Security was enacted in 1935, the law said benefits could only be paid if someone was completely retired. I guess the thinking was that you must be fully retired in order to get “retirement” benefits. In the 1950s, they relaxed the rules a bit and said people 75 and older could do some minimal work and keep their Social Security checks. In 1972, the law was amended so that people 72 and older

could get all their benefits, no matter how much money was made. In 1981, they dropped that threshold age to 70. And in 1993, they lowered it to “full retirement age” (currently age 66). But the antiquated earnings penalty rules remain in effect for anyone between age 62 and 66. If those working seniors make more than about $17,000 annually, they start to lose some or all of their benefits. Why? Or to expand that question a bit: Why make senior citizens getting Social Security benefits who want to work and make a little extra money live in fear of losing their government retirement checks? If you, too, think that is a good idea, send President Trump a tweet and tell him to make me the Social Security King! Q: I have worked all my life. I am about to turn 62, and I am thinking of applying for my Social Security. But my husband is still working and making a six-figure income. Because we file a joint tax return, will his income reduce my Social Security benefits? A: No it won’t. Your benefits are potentially reduced only if YOU work and have income that exceeds $16,920 per year. Your husband’s income is not an issue when it comes to Social Security’s earnings penalty rules. Q: I am 62 years old. I was planning to stop working on March 31 and start my Social Security in April. But my employer is giving me a generous severance package that includes six months of remuneration -- and they will pay it in monthly increments until October. So does that mean I might as well wait until November to apply for my Social Security benefits? A: No. If you want your Social Security checks to start in April, then go ahead and apply for them now to be effective that month. The only income that counts towards the earnings penalty rules is income that you earn while actively working. So any special payments you get after you retire do not count towards those earnings penalty limits. This could be severance pay, as in your situation. Or it might be compensation such as accumulated sick or vacation pay distributed to you after you retire. Q: I am 64 and I get Social Security widow’s benefits. I am thinking of taking a job. Do the earnings penalty rules apply to me, or just to retirees? A: The same rules that apply to retirees also apply to all other Social Security beneficiaries, including widows. So if you find a job that pays more than $16,920, you will lose one dollar in benefits for each two dollars you make over that threshold. And it’s gross earnings that count -- not your take home pay.

commands, graphical display formats, and other features designed for use on a computer or a program. McLuhanism – A term for a catchy phrase or slogan coined by Marshall McLuhan, popular writer and intellectual thinker during the digital revolution. He said, “the medium is the message,” meaning that the form of media has a greater impact on society than the content. Another McLuhanism is “the global village.” Opt-out – Whenever you ask to be removed from any kind of online program, he or she is said to be “opting out.” For example, if you no longer want to receive an e-mail newsletter, you have the ability to opt-out. Note that there is a difference between opting out and unsubscribing. You may only unsubscribe to something you have previously subscribed to, but you may optout of something you have never even joined in the first place. For example, if you fill out an online form to register or sign up for something, you may see a “yes” automatically checked in a radio button to indicate that you wish to receive something. Unless you manually uncheck the yes, you will be added to some kind of marketing list. Did you ever see the movie “The Social Network” about Mark Zuckerberg and the founding of Facebook? In the movie, people kept saying “he’s wired in” or “they’re wired in” over and over again in reference to people coding intensely with their headphones on. Not knowing anything about programming, I always imagined that being “wired in” meant the programmers were somehow listening to the computers, or that they were connected to the code somehow or something technical that we lay people wouldn’t get. It turns out that it just meant they were concentrating really hard with headphones on. Who knew? This online jargon or techie terms as I like to call them take a little getting used to. Many of them have double meanings – they are regular words and they have a whole different meaning in the computer world. Since I deal with computers every day, it means con-

stantly shifting from regular words to the computer words. I took my smart phone with me when I went to a local coffee specialty shop. Sitting down with a cup of latte, I started to navigate or “surf” the web and had the chance to look up some interesting things. I was glad that the store had a hot spot. I like being able to connect with their WiFi instead of having to use a lot of my minutes. Looking out the window, I saw that the traffic on Jericho Tpke. was getting busy. Thinking ahead, I hoped that when I returned home there would be cookies fresh from the oven. I wanted to stop at the Registrar’s Office at my local college to ask some questions about classes but I also was thinking about checking with the Registrar for a new domain that I was considering. Many domains are obvious in terms of what they mean but others are a little more obscure. I could check with GoDaddy or I could meet up with my daddy and go out to lunch with him. I like having fun with words because after all, words matter! *Thanks to techopedia.com and netlingo.com for many of these techie definitions.

Four Friends and a Babymoon Travel California’s Highway 1 Discovery Route C ontinued from page D3 We eat a quick breakfast at the Sycamore. The vegetarian omelet with roasted kale and asparagus is good as are the eggs Benedict with crab. It is one of the better Benedicts we’ve had on the Pacific. The fresh juice bar is great with some interesting combinations of fresh fruit and vegetables. The sausage has a ton of flavor with a hint of fennel. The breakfast burrito is quite filling but you could put it down in ten minutes if you need to. E-Bike Adventure in Avila Beach

We arrive at Pedego Bikes in Avila Beach and are greeted by the super friendly Brunsting family. They introduce us to Pedego electric bikes, a really fun way to get to know any area. Pedego offers a variety of bikes to fit all shapes, sizes, and fitness levels (this works perfectly for our babymoon). Some of the newer models offer pedal assist, the “cruise control” for biking. Debbie, one of the owners, offers just enough guidance so you feel comfortable on these electric bikes, and has great suggestions and tips of what things/ places you might want to check out on the

bikes. She gives you a notated map and excitedly emphasizes that anywhere you wander in this area will be worth it and that the adventure is yours to create. It’s easy to quickly get the hang of the electric bikes. However, after zipping up the coasts and hillsides it may be hard to go back to a regular old manual bike, even with 21 gears. Pedego Bikes also offers vouchers for Kelsey Sea Canyon Winery and another winery next store. (Open Daily: 10am-5pm, Pedego Bikes, First Street, Avila Beach, CA 93424, 805-6271414 425 www.pedegocc.com.)

We start our electric bike adventure on The Bob Jones Trail. This beautiful walking and bike path leads right to the Avila Valley Barn. First started in 1985, the Avila Valley Barn is a local favorite for the freshest fruit and vegetables of the area. Not only will you find wonderful fresh produce you can pick up home baked pies, bakery treats or unique gifts. You can visit a farm pet area, where you can feed goats, pigs, horses, sheep, and donkeys. Hayrides are also available every weekend. (Open daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Avila

Leiberman/Travel Features Syndicate) Biking the trail is an ideal way to spend a few hours in Avila Beach and get to see both the beach side of the town as well as the hills and natural beauty. At the barn, so many cute farm animals greet you as well as more surprising ones like the emu and strange looking chickens. Shell beach and Pismo Beach is right around the bend, where you can park your bikes and gaze at the beautiful, rugged coastline. If you catch the tide when it’s low, there are various sea creatures like the abalones hanging out in the tidal pools. It’s also fun to watch the surfers splashing around in the cold water in their wetsuits.

After a short ride up the hill and the coast, assisted by the electric batteries, we cross a bridge bringing us to the dock on the Port San Luis Harbor, where people gather to watch the active seals, fish, and enjoy the 360 degree water view. Vendors flayed fresh fish on the dock as we arrived at Mersea’s. Mersea’s on the Pier in Avila Beach (photo by Dave E. Leiberman/Travel Features Syndicate) We enjoy our fresh seafood lunch at Mersea’s on the Pier and highly recommend this stop when you are in Avila Beach. Atmospherically, it’s a memorable lunch stop. The seals bark and fight for valuable real-estate on the floating dock near this seaside-perched restaurant. At Mersea’s you order at the window from their extensive menu of seafood, sandwiches, and other local favorites. They had some good looking bloody Mary’s and

beer options as well. If you get the taco’s we recommend the shrimp. The fried oysters and chips were delicious as were the raw oysters, which were bigger than our fists. It’s a pretty great spot for Instagrammers. (Mersea’s on the Pier in Avila, 3985 Avila Beach Drive Avila Beach, CA 93252, 805-5482290.) Morro Bay and the Highway 1 Discovery Route, between Los Angeles and San Francisco, are packed with wonderful places that put the emphasis on relaxed adventure over the frenetic pace of their book-ended cities. The tranquility and peacefulness of the California’s central coast offers a level of intimacy that is difficult to find in San Francisco and L.A. The mix of outdoor activity, fine dining, and relaxed pace makes for the perfect getaway for two couples from New York City and Atlanta, whether for a babymoon, a reunion of friends, a romantic getaway, or

Last Hope receives grant to provide free “Trap, Neuter, Release” vouchers Last Hope thanks PET PEEVES (with our collective cat-loving heart) for a generous $12,000 grant so we can offer the public FREE TNR spay/neuter vouchers for feral cats from Feb.13 to May 1. This grant allows us to be proactive in an attempt to lessen the upcoming kitten season by altering cats before females get pregnant. We’re trying to “Beat the Heat”. The PET PEEVES funds will help Last Hope to spay/ neuter at least 200 cats. Cat caretakers can apply for the FREE vouchers, beginning Mon, Feb. 13 at the link below

on the Last Hope website: http://lasthopeanimalrescue.org/fix-a-feral/ After May 1, we will be resuming our regular FIXA-FERAL program with discounted TNR vouchers at our participating vets. Feral cats are our community “shadow” citizens, so often ignored and tormented. PET PEEVES an advocacy organization for local animal rescues truly is “The Voice of Long Island Pets”. http://petpeeves.org/ Last Hope is so GRATEFUL to PET PEEVES for their continued support of our rescue efforts.

GC Boy’s Varsity Swimming wins fifth consecutive On February 11th, something amazing happened-the Garden City Boy’s Varsity Swimming and Diving (GC) team won Section 8 Counties for the fifth year in a row! Although GC finished the season with a 6-3 record (fourth in Conference 1), the boys were able to generate personal records, achieve a significant number of state qualifying times, and put as many points as possible on the board to upset Syosset, the favored winner, AND Long Beach, the anticipated runner-up! Final score of the top three (3) teams was GC 407, Long Beach 349, and Syosset 323. Diving commenced on Wednesday, February 8th, with Cameron Yuen placing 3rd in Counties with a score of 418.40 and John Protano placing 6th with a score of 308.70. Although neither diver made States this year, this allowed GC to start the meet with 37 points, ahead of the teams favored to win; however, the magic really started to happen with the first swimming event--the 200 Medley Relay. The Medley Relay team--consisting of John “The Raptor” Gaffney in

the Backstroke, George Litviuov in the Breaststroke, Gabriel Ragusa in the Butterfly, and John Protano in the Freestyle--was able to achieve 1:38.21, beating the state qualifying time of 1:40.67! Syosset appeared to win the race, but ultimately was disqualified due to a false start in the third leg of the race. Suddenly, the possibility that GC might actually have a chance at winning Counties seemed fathomable! The boys knew they would have to push themselves to their limits and rely on all the practice and training that occurred over the whole season--and that is just what they did! In the next event, the 200 Freestyle, John Gaffney, Jake Newmark, and Kieran Brown each achieved State times by swimming 1:42.5, 1:46.1, and 1:46.9, respectively. Jake and Kieran also made States in the

500 Freestyle distance events with times of 4:47.4 and 4:51.7, respectively. John Gaffney also achieved States in the 200 Individual Medley with a time of 1:58.1, and in the 100 Butterfly with an unbelievable 50.31! He had made States in the Butterfly event at the very first meet of the season with a time of 52:32, but he easily surpassed this time during Counties! In the 100 Breaststroke event, there were three (3) different heats, and GC won all three! Evan Jozkowski was able to achieve a 1:03.45, finishing 10th in the County, and John Protano swam a 1:01.95, achieving a personal record, placing 5th in the County. George Litviuov was able to achieve States, though, with a time of 59.7, and placing 2nd in the County!

Counties in stunning upset

Wishing the GC Boy’s Varsity Seniors the brightest of futures. L-to-R: Coach Anne Sullivan, John Gaffney (captain), Gabriel Ragusa (captain), Constantine Kenny, George Litviuov (captain), Timothy Bensen, and James Rumsey.

The final race of the day, the 400 Freestyle Relay, was perhaps the most exciting. The Relay team consisting of Kieran Brown, Jacob Newmark, Liam Gaffney, and John Gaffney, was slightly behind Syosset and Long Beach during most of the race, but John “The Raptor” Gaffney, living up to his nickname, was able to close the gap with unrelenting speed and precision. The excitement culminated in a tie with Syosset with the same exact time of 3:14.84! The NY State meet will be held at Eisenhower Park Aquatic Center this year, on Friday, March 3rd, and Saturday, March 4th. Please make every effort to attend and watch the boys compete with the very best swimmers in NY State!

GCHS Italian Club experiences opening night of Rigoletto

Members of the Garden City High School Italian Club attended “Rigoletto” at the Metropolitan Opera House BY HALLIE MALLOZZI, STUDENT This past January, Garden City High School’s Italian Club had the oncein-a-lifetime experience of seeing the opening night performance of Rigoletto

by Giuseppe Verdi at the Metropolitan Opera House. The production displayed the performers’ powerful voices and acting abilities. Although enjoyed by all grade levels, the performance resonated with the College Italian stu-

dents who learned about the opera’s themes, the aria as a musical art form, the composer, and the historical period of Rigoletto. As a College Italian student, experiencing what we learned and listened during class in a live,

cultural atmosphere, such as the Met, was unforgettable. Seeing the striking performance of Rigoletto has opened the door to opera for my fellow classmates and me!!

Board votes down plaque to honor mayors

Plaque listing all the former Garden City mayors is voted down as with their hands raised, Trustee Robert Bolebruch and Deputy Mayors Brian C. Daughney and Richard V. Silver voted “nay.” Mayor Nicholas Episcopia, between Daughney and Silver, sits still. From page 1 ask my fellow trustees to do so. But I certainly understand that many of the trustees feel much differently about it than I do,” he said. Mayor Episcopia started by joking that instead of a plaque he would like to commission a local artist to paint a mural of his likeness all over the wall of the meeting room at Village Hall, for $50,000. After residents in the audience laughed, he got down to business and said he’s visited half a dozen other village halls and the mayors’ pictures are prominent. “What is being proposed here is minimal, it’s historic to just list the people who were the mayors going back. Half the world would not even see it. In the village itself we have volunteers, all the village justices are volunteers that have pictures of themselves hanging up. All the fire chiefs have pictures of themselves. I was proposing a small name on a plaque that ran less than $1,000. This wasn’t about to be some monument to anybody. It’s a historical thing,” the mayor said, just a minute before the plaque was voted down. Trustee Robert Bolebruch read aloud the sentiments opposed to the plaque concept that he’s posted online, following an article on this agenda item and it coming to a halt at the last trustees’ meeting as reported in the Friday, February 17 edition of The Garden City News. He also explained the point of view that stems from. “I am not in favor of the plaque. I’ve lived in Garden City and volunteered in Garden City for 22 years. The first month I was here I was involved with the POA. Garden City is unique, although it’s mentioned that all other Nassau County villages have plaques that show the past mayors, treasurers and trustees that served their governments. But Garden City has a different form of government, a volunteer government versus a paid government. I

wrote to my fellow trustees and put online my feeling on this,” Bolebruch said Tuesday night. Beth Watras of Stewart Avenue, the wife of former mayor John J. Watras who served from 2013 to 2015, spoke first during public comments at the February 21 meeting. She voiced support for the agenda item requesting a small wooden plaque to honor former Garden City mayors’ service. “Many organizations display plaques like this in their lobbies. The Board of Trustees and mayors all serve as volunteers and a small plaque is a great idea,” she stated. Karen Reiter of Greenridge Avenue, who’s attended recent Village Board meetings with her husband Kent and participated in LIRR Third Track discussions, was next to support the plaque idea. She said most village halls across Nassau County do have plaques on the walls, with the names of their former mayors engraved on them. “It is the special history of each individual village that both inspires and comforts us. It’s the legacy we leave behind for the generations that come after us so they too can learn loyalty, dedication and service. We want to teach our children that we honor those who serve our community,” she told the Board of Trustees. Althea Robinson completed a 39-year run as executive director of the Garden City Chamber of Commerce in 2015. She says that when working on the community guide in 1980 and continuing even today, she’s received inquiries from residents and people elsewhere about Garden City village history – and often a question about who the mayor was at any particular time. “I would get questions such as ‘who was the mayor when’ related to renovations like Franklin Avenue, Seventh Street, New Hyde Park Road, etc. or the celebrations of our village’s 100th anniversary or our incorporation (1919)

and I thought we needed to get more information in our community guide. I called Village Hall and I asked for a list of all the past mayors, but there was not one on file. It’s not a matter so much of honoring past mayors but of keeping a record of who they are, and a plaque in Village Hall is definitely due. Just to have their names up with the year they had served is a wonderful thing to do,” Robinson said. Former EPOA president Christine Mullaney also supported the request for a small plaque. Her comments Tuesday night directly countered the thoughts brought forward when Deputy Mayor Brian Daughney, on February 2, read a proposed resolution stating that the Board of Trustees “in recognition of the longstanding tradition that members of the board and mayors serve as volunteers of the village community, finds it injurious to our Garden City tradition to commemorate individuals who have served as trustees and/ or mayors with the placement of memorial plaques on or at village owned facilities.” That resolution was approved but with the (expenditure) item up for consideration, this week in front of the board Mullaney disagreed with that philosophy. “The village has been incorporated for almost 100 years and I think 40-something men and one woman (Barbara Miller) have served as mayors. The mayors are the most visible representatives of the spirit of volunteerism that has sustained the village for the hun-

dred years. It’s entirely appropriate to list them, and I think this is really a celebration of volunteerism,” she said. Richard Schrafel of Kildare Road, former president of the Estates’ POA, spoke in favor of a cast-bronze plaques because “he enjoys them.” He brought up a situation in 1988 when his former Village of Bellerose the mayor was not in favor of a plaque at their new village hall. Schrafel was a village trustee there at the time, and at Tuesday’s meeting he showed pictures of it hanging behind a door. “I hope you guys get all along well and find a nice place for the plaque I’m hoping you should purchase,” Schrafel said. Schrafel rarely gets to attend Board of Trustees’ meeting as they are almost always Thursday nights, the same weeknight as his practices for his role as “half the tenor section” at the Garden City Community Church. The Tuesday, February 21 meeting ended up being one exception. But this time he made sure to turn up, speak about his preference for the plaque, and also to thank Mayor Episcopia publicly for his two years of leadership. Schrafel added kudos to all the trustees for their volunteer efforts on the many nights that they trade spending time with their families to serve important roles to the village. All on the Board of Trustees can agree on that thought.

Village begins work on turf field, capital projects From page 37 in The Garden City News, the facility was referred to as “a $432,450 Comfort Station otherwise known as a bathroom,” when it was proposed. In other news the Village Board approved the date of Saturday April 1, beginning at 9 am, for the Garden City Athletic Association (GCAA) to hold its annual baseball/softball Opening Day parade.

Police Stats for January Presented

On February 21, Police Commissioner Kenneth O. Jackson delivered news of a proactive month from January 2017’s Garden City police statistics. The GCPD responded to 833 incidents resulting in 17 arrests and 53 case investigations plus eight vehicle impounds. The police compiled 98 medical aid reports and 107 accident reports. Last month the police issued 2,686 tickets including 1,596 parking tickets and 1,085 moving traffic tickets and five appearance tickets for quality of life violations.

Facilities Tour for Village Budget

Deputy Village Administrator and Secretary to the Board of Trustees Joseph DiFrancisco said he would finalize details of the 2017 “Budget Bus Tour” by next week. The tour of Village of Garden City facilities takes place at 9 am on Saturday, March 11, and it will now begin at the new Golf Club Lane senior center before visits to the Village Yard (Pulbic Works’ facility and the Village Garage) and the Water Department. Since January residents have emailed DiFrancisco and based on replies, Mayor Nicholas Episcopia expects a turnout of at least 30 residents, but all are invited. “Every time we’ve had this in the past people really enjoyed it. You get an opportunity to take a really good look at what goes in our Village Yard, the Garage, mulch fields and new construction that we’ve done that we are very proud of,” he said at Tuesday night’s Board of Trustees’ meeting.

Launch of Tom Phelan’s novel at Garden City Library

The paperback of Tom Phelan’s acclaimed novel Lies the Mushroom Pickers Told will be launched on Tuesday, March 14, at 7:30 p.m. in the Garden City Public Library at 60 Seventh St., Garden City, NY. Sponsored by the Irish Cultural Society, this event is free and open to all. John Walsh, editor of the Hedgemaster, will introduce Tom Phelan. Tom will discuss the background of the novel as well as read a couple of selections. Books will be available for signing. The online book review site Shelf Awareness says Lies the Mushroom Pickers Told is “a masterful portrait of Irish village life disguised as a murder mystery,” adding “Phelan finds humor and warmth in every poignant moment.” Publishers Weekly calls the book a “witty novel” and notes the “humor and the plentiful details of the farming lifestyle do much to enrich Phelan’s entertaining murder mystery.” Part human comedy and part mystery, Lies the Mushroom Pickers Told is a story about what holds a village together and what keeps people apart. When journalist Patrick Bracken returns to the Irish village where he was born, he knows the eyes of the townspeople are on him. He has come home to investigate two deaths that happened decades earlier, when he was a boy, deaths that were ruled accidental. But Patrick knows—and believes the whole town knows—they were murders. Tom Phelan, a retired employee of the Garden City Public Schools, grew up on a small farm in Co. Laois in the Irish midlands. He had just turned fifty when his first novel, In the Season of the Daisies, was accepted for publication. One reviewer later wrote, “The most obvious question posed by a novelistic debut with as much resounding vigour as this is: Where has Mr. Phelan been?” Since then, Tom has written five more novels, Iscariot, Derrycloney, The Canal Bridge, Nailer, and Lies the Mushroom Pickers Told, as well as many memoir pieces for the Irish Echo newspaper.

Who We Are

For over 80 years, The Men’s Association or simply the TMA has supported the athletic and social activities of students in the Garden City schools and promoted good sportsman-

ship as well as ideal citizenship. The TMA is composed of more than 100 active Directors, 50 Life Directors and 500 Family members. With the generous support of our fellow residents, the Men’s Association has been involved in a great number of projects covering a wide range of interests. While we are still primarily committed to the athletic programs at the Middle School and High School, in recent years the TMA has expanded their support and sponsorship to other programs benefiting a wider range of students in the Garden City Schools. Some of these programs are SEPTA, the Jamie and Paige Malone Foundation, Best Buddies, the GC High School Marching Band, BAA/GAA Awards Night, Middle School Bagel Bash, Reeves Scholarship, Bethany LeSueur Jersey Retirement Ceremony, GCHS Stem Program, CPR training for all coaches, HUDL, Robotics, 9th grade BBQ, Kickline, GCTA Hurricane Relief Fundraiser and the Father-Daughter and Mother-Son dances. All of this would not be possible without your continued assistance on aiding all we do. Thanks to all who contribute !!!

How You Can Join

The TMA is always looking for potential new members. If you’re a father who has a child or children in the GC School District and are willing to be involved please contact one of the Officers or Directors for an application. Thanks for all your support! Special thanks to all those who have joined as family members! Go Trojans!

GCAA U8 ( 2nd Grade) Travel Baseball Tryouts

On the afternoon of Saturday March 4, the GCAA will be holding tryouts for the 2017 U8 travel baseball teams. To be eligible to tryout, a child must live or attend school in Garden City and be born between 9/1/2008 and 8/31/2009. Players born between 9/1/2009 and 11/30/2009 who are currently in second grade are also eligible. Players born after November 30, 2009 are not eligible to participate in the GCAA travel baseball program in 2017. The time and location of the tryouts will be determined shortly and we will notify everyone once those details are finalized. The U8 teams that are selected will play in the Spring, Summer and Fall of 2017. Players must be willing to play baseball in all three seasons and be committed to their team. We recognize that participants play other sports and have other activities, and the GCAA encourages that diversity of activity. We understand that players may miss games from time to time because of illness, family events, practices or games for other sports or participation in other activities. We simply ask that the children and parents recognize that they have made a commitment to their baseball team and that they communicate with their coaches so that the teams are not in a position where other players on the team cannot play a game because too many players are regularly choosing another activity at the expense of

baseball. Please also understand that any child participating in the GCAA travel baseball program must also participate in the GCAA intramural baseball program in the spring. The intent of the travel baseball program is to provide the opportunity to play more baseball to those who are interested, not to replace our intramural program. In order to be eligible for the tryouts, all players must pre-register for the tryouts via email (with “Travel Tryout Registration” in the subject line). To pre-register, please send the following information to gcaatravelbaseball@ gmail.com: Name: _____________________________________ Address: _____________________________________ Email: _____________________________________ Phone: _____________________________________ Age/DOB: _____________________________________ Grade: _____________________________________ School: _____________________________________ **Please also indicate in the email if you would be interested in serving as a manager or assistant coach. If you have any questions, please send an email to gcaatravelbaseball@ gmail.com

Any Directors who have not paid their annual dues please mail your $100 check to the treasurer!

Middle School Wings suffer first defeat

The GCMS Wings suffered their first loss vs Sewanhaka MS by a score of 7-5. It was a hard fought game with a lot of back and forth. The Wings had a chance till the buzzer, but came up a little short. Walt Holewa had this to say, “While each player gave a 100% effort, missing players caused us to improvise and do things ordinarily we would not of had to. BUT, at the end of the day, we played a Vastly Improved team who had 3 lines we just could not match with our 3 lines....”. He also gave a call out to Arthur Mirante, Thomas Walker and Jack Carozzo for their efforts in the loss. There are 5 games left and 3 of them are against opponents from the next division up, this will be a good test of how much the team has improved since the beginning of the season. As we come closer to the end of the season, we begin to look forward to next year, and the loss of our 8th graders. We’ll need to replenish our roster next year with an incoming class of 6th, 7th and 8th graders. If your Hockey (ice or roller) loving child is going to be entering Middle School or is already in Middle School and may want to play next year, please visit the website WWW.GCWINGS.ORG. The contact email is wingspan68@aol.com. In August information will be available for the upcoming season, regarding tryouts, etc...
