GC Farmers Market shifts gears for fall harvest
HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL
BY RIKKI N. MASSAND
This past Tuesday marked the first day of school for children in Garden City. Backpacks, galore filled the streets as kids heading off for a new year. In Franklin Court, Amelia Moran, Liam Hanrahan and Doran Hanrahan await the buses for school! Good Luck to all the students in the coming school year!
Adelphi Jagger Fellows pursue careers BY RIKKI N. MASSAND
Over the summer Alexus Haddad, a biology major and chemistry minor and member of Adelphi University’s Class of 2018, interned at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and worked with cutting-edge CRISPR/Cas9 technology for pancreatic cancer research. A few known tumor-suppressor genes cause pancreatic cancer but there are several more
genes yet to be discovered, Haddad said. This hands-on study at Cold Spring Harbor will continue for another several months in pursuit of scientific findings. But midway through college Haddad’s jump into her career field and the enthusiastic starts of 69 others came as part of this year’s Jaggar Community Fellows Program at Adelphi University.
Summer internships
Having just completed its seventh year of enriching opportunities, the Jaggar Program provides students with paid summer internships at a variety of nonprofits on Long Island and New York City. With a reception held at its Garden City campus on Wednesday August 17, Adelphi celebrated the See page 54
It’s the midway point the 2016 season of Garden City Farmers’ Markets, held every Tuesday, 7 am to 1 pm, from June up until two days before Thanksgiving (November 22 is the last market this year). Three summer months are in the books but three special months with fall flavors, produce, culinary delights and homemade goods will provide plenty for residents and visitors to discover. With summer having been ‘slower’ due to the Nassau County Courts being in session for fewer daytime hours, the fall season is critical to many local and organic growers, small businesses and entrepreneurs present at the markets. Ethel Terry and her husband Fred operate Fred Terry & Sons’ Farms on the eastern end of Long Island, and they run several growers’ markets in Nassau and Suffolk County hubs. Ethel spoke with The Garden City News last week before the seasons officially change. She says fall vegetables including pumpkin, broccoli; orange, green and other varieties of cauliflower along with winter squashes will start to highlight weekly produce. The root crops farmers harvested throughout summer are all still coming in including spinach, beets, potatoes, onions, carrots, yellow and cherry tomatoes and shallots. Melons will also be available at the markets throughout September. Over two years ago, then-Garden City Mayor John Watras questioned the Tuesday timing of the market, which is located at parking lot of 101 County Seat Drive behind the State Supreme Court and off of Old Country Road (technically Mineola). He commented at the May 15, 2014 Board of Trustees’ meeting that on Tuesday mornings many residents are busy and on their way to work, and a weekend morning may bring a better turnout. But Terry explained the timing and thoughts behind catering to a ‘court crowd.’ “The judges, lawyers, jurors, court officers and others working there as well as in different office buildings around there are not going to be there during the weekend. It’s a great opportunity,” Terry said.
Fall is busier season
Labor Day and the following weekdays often mark the return to the routine for County Court employees, lawyers, jurors and judges who walk over to the market. They’re all in time for seasonal treats from natural snacks and starters to dessert. “It gets much busier in the fall and we anticipate that, we grow for that purpose. Fall ushers in a very full array of products. We have a lot of variety at the markets as far as vegetables go, it gets bigger and bigger as the season goes on with those crops. Then we have our apple farmer – Orchard of the Conklins from Pomona, New York – with fall apples and berries, and homemade pastries and pies made right from the fruit. They keep the market well-supplied with fresh fruits each week,” Ethel Terry explains. See page 46

A WORD FROM THE PUBLISHER
It’s hard to believe that fifteen years have passed since that awful day in 2001. It was a day that stunned the nation, and here in Garden City where so many victims lived, the sadness was palpable. So many people, many of them quite young, just starting their adult lives. A lot has changed since then, but a lot hasn’t. As a nation we are more wary. We no longer feel we can move about in the world with little thought to our own safety. When yet another terror attack occurs in cities around the world (or as close as Boston) we feel
angered, and saddened, but only a little shocked. But as a nation we have also learned that an attack on some of us is an attack on all of us. In spite of this year’s divisive presidential election, and increased racial polarization, most people are still optimistic, still looking for solutions to our problems (even if we don’t agree on what those solutions should look like). As a nation, we are a work in progress, but we are still a people melded together from various immigrant stocks, to create a greater whole.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Email: Editor@GCNews.com
Law needs more work
To the Editor: Your recent article regarding the possible licensing or other control of generators seems to need more thought. I am on full time oxygen I use for a breathing problem and keep the unit in Garden City for emergency use. I would hope that any action by Garden City to regulate or control these units would consider this; though it seems that some past decisions by the town mayor and trustees and legal staff was not properly researched. If the area in G.C. where I reside looses its electricity then I will use my generator. P.S. Elec and Gas Indicated that they cannot help. Therefore I will
use my generator in an emergency as I do consider it important to breathe. D.R. St-Jacques
Thank You
To the Editor: We would like to extend our thanks to the Donnelly Division of Signature Premier Properties for providing the free document shredding services of Quality Shredding on August 25th. It was a convenient and secure way to destroy sensitive and confidential documents. The men who worked for Quality Shredding were also very helpful and polite. We hope that this very important service will be repeated in the future. Yael and Joseph Coppolino
Commissioner Kenneth Jackson (left), Detective Richard Pedone and Inspector Michael Doyle (far right) of the Garden City Police Department, helped to launch AAA’s “School’s Open – Drive Carefully” campaign at the Garden City Police Headquarters. They were joined by local school students (left to right) Brandon, Julia Fae and Aidan Rosenblatt. John Corlett, Director of Traffic Safety and Donna Galasso, Assistant Director of Traffic Safety, represented AAA at the ceremony. AAA Northeast launched its 71st annual “School’s Open - Drive Carefully” program at the Garden City Police Department. The program alerts drivers to be extra careful behind the wheel as children end their summer vacation and return to school. Commissioner Kenneth Jackson, Detective Richard Pedone and Inspector Michael Doyle joined local school children to help AAA kickoff the program. Drivers should be particularly cautious in school areas keeping their speed at or below posted limits and being prepared to stop, on both sides of the street, for school buses with flashing red lights as required by New York State law. AAA’s annual “School’s Open – Drive Carefully” campaign is conducted with local government and police

SUBMITTED BY THE GARDEN CITY HISTORICAL SOCIETY’S PRESERVATION COMMITTEE On August 1, one of Garden City’s historic homes was demolished. While, in general, people might say: how bad could the loss of one home be? Others are concerned that a detrimental trend is occurring that could threaten the historic character of the community. The demolished home was located at 104 Sixth Street in the heart of the village’s central section, which is scattered with homes built in the 1870s and ’80s at the time Alexander T. Stewart was

developing his visionary, planned community, Garden City. Built in 1883, 104 Sixth Street was among some 45+ structures listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 as the A. T. Stewart-era Thematic Group. This listing denotes that the structures are of national, as well as local, historic significance. The removal of any one or more of them poses a harmful effect on the community as a whole, and further diminishes the context in which the National Register homes are situated. The presence of such a cluster of historic homes creates what preservationists call a sense of place—the historic fabric of the community. This sense of place sets a mood in Garden City that brings people together to share a common heritage; it gives our children a feeling of being a part of something special— beyond simply a Long Island neighborhood; and it commands a responsibility on the part of the community’s citizenry and its leaders to preserve this gift. Seeing homes torn down and replaced with larger, more modern homes has become commonplace in Garden City. However, buyers need to be aware of Garden City’s historic legacy and its valued places. Current residents, too, should appreciate and be willing to preserve that history and maintain Garden City’s uniqueness through the quality of the architecture of the village. To

The Garden City Historical Society, in collaboration with architecture and local history advocates, and preservationists,
encourages residents and village leaders to learn more about how preserving our community’s National Register-listed homes can strengthen and benefit the entire community.

Labor Day has traditionally been regarded as the real kickoff of the presidential campaign, so let’s see how Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are doing. Ms. Clinton is likely a narrow favorite at this point in the race. Despite a CNN poll this week showing a slight advantage for Mr. Trump, Ms. Clinton is leading in the Real Clear Politics average of national polls by 3.3 percent in head to head to head matchups and by 2.4 percent in 4-way to head matchups including Gary Johnson and Jill Stein. While this certainly is not an insurmountable lead, it is similar to the margin enjoyed by President Obama at a number of points in September in his two successful races against John McCain and Mitt Romney. Other factors also cut slightly in Clinton’s favor. Swing state polls, while subject to considerable fluctuation, tend at this point to be consistent with a narrow lead for Ms. Clinton, as demonstrated by a comparison of the results with the actual Obama-Romney vote in 2012. Indeed, it is possible that Democrats, who have won the popular vote in five of the last six presidential elections, and who have won states with 242 electoral votes in every election over that period, have a narrow but usually decisive advantage in both the popular vote and the electoral college with the broad presidential year electorate. In addition, because of the increasing percentage of minority voters in the electorate, Republicans, whose support largely comes from white voters, may be at an increasing disadvantage. Finally, the betting markets, as reflected in the PredictWise website, favor Ms. Clinton, projecting something like a 75% chance of victory. Still, I would have to think that there is much cause for concern in the Clinton camp. Despite a controversy-filled August for Mr. Trump and an overwhelming advertising edge for Ms. Clinton, the numbers are currently going the wrong way for her. She pretty clearly has lost
her post-convention bounce and her lead has at least been cut in half. In addition, she seems to have had a great deal of difficulty in putting two issues, the handling of her emails and her relation to the Clinton Foundation, behind her. While the media has focused on gaffes by Mr. Trump, Ms. Clinton’s campaign seems a bit low-energy so far. Mr. Trump has gained headlines by traveling to Louisiana to see flooding, going to Mexico to speak with the president of that country and then speaking about immigration in Arizona and visiting with African American pastors in Detroit. In contrast, there have not been comparable events by the Clinton campaign. Indeed, as The New York Times noted recently, she seems to spend much of her time in the company of the ultrarich, raising funds. Money never hurts in a campaign, but a candidate’s presence means quite a bit also. Although Mr. Trump has well chronicled problems with minority and college educated voters, Ms. Clinton has some problems of her own. As the Times reported in the last few days, she is having trouble closing the deal with young African American voters, very much a part of her expected coalition and she still has some issues wooing Bernie Sanders supporters. If either group were to stay home on election day, or vote for third party candidates, this would be very damaging. Ms. Clinton’s supporters would also do well not to rely on winning the electoralcollege in the absence of a popular vote majority. First, this is rare, happening once (in 2000) since 1888. Also, as analyst Nate Silver has pointed out, while a superior swing state voter turnout operation could help Ms. Clinton, her swing state polling performance has ebbed and flowed with her national numbers. In any event, although Ms. Clinton can probably claim a slight advantage, there is a long way to go in this race (not least of all three presidential debates) and confident predictions seem foolhardy indeed.

• Pedestrians should always use sidewalks when available and walk on the inside edge of the sidewalk farthest away from traffic. When no sidewalk is available, walk in single file as close to the edge of the roadway as practical. You should also walk against the flow of traffic so that oncoming cars are visible. • Research has shown that until your child is at least 8 years old, you should hold their hand on the sidewalk and in parking lots. Furthermore, until they are 10 years old you should hold their hand while crossing the street. • Children should be taught to be defensive and to NEVER assume that a driver sees them. • Always LOOK in all directions before crossing the street, LEFT, then RIGHT, then LEFT again. NEVER run into the street. • Avoid crossing streets at midblock, especially when parked cars may obstruct vision. Cross at stop signs, traffic signals, crosswalks and crossing guards when available. • When crossing a street, NEVER assume a green light or WALK signal means it is safe to cross the street. Remember; LOOK LEFT, then RIGHT, then LEFT again before crossing. • Remove earphones when preparing to cross the street. You will not be able to hear approaching traffic. • Do not follow others across the street until you have checked for yourself to see that it is safe to cross. • Walk the route to school with your child and discuss safe practices. Teach your children about traffic laws and encourage them to ask questions when they are unsure of what to do. • Crossing Guards are provided near schools to assist children and others in safely crossing the street. It is a violation of New York State Law to disregard the signals and directions of crossing guards. • Children should be taught to obey the directions given to them by crossing guards. This includes crossing only when directed, not running or riding bicycles at crossings.
Bicycle Safety:
• Persons riding bicycles are subject to the same laws as motorists. • All bicyclists under the age of four-
teen are required to wear approved bicycle helmets when they are operators or passengers on bicycles. • Regardless of what the law requires, the Garden City Police Department recommends that ALL operators and passengers wear bicycle helmets. According to a 2014 report from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, it is estimated that 83% of all bicyclists killed in accidents were not wearing a bike helmet. Parents should set a good example and wear a helmet. • Children should be taught how to ride a bicycle and practice riding in a safe location where there are no cars. It is important for children to learn how to signal, turn, slow down and stop without falling. Hand signals for bicyclists are the same as for motorists. • Children should be taught to be defensive when riding and NEVER assume that a driver sees them. • Bicyclists should carefully look in all directions for vehicles, other bicyclists and pedestrians. Extra care should be taken when nearing intersections or driveways where vehicles may be turning. • Children should walk their bicycles across intersections. • Bicycles should be ridden in bicycle lanes when available or as close to the right edge of the roadway as practical in the same direction as traffic. • Bicycles should be ridden in single file. • A bicycle should NEVER be used to carry more people then it was designed to carry. Never ride anyone on the handlebars. When riding a bicycle, wear bright colored clothing and make sure the bicycle has proper reflectors. DO NOT ride a bicycle while wearing earphones, you will not be able to hear approaching traffic. It is illegal to wear more than one ear phone while riding a bicycle. A bicycle must be equipped with: a) A brake which is capable of making the tires skid, on dry level pavement. b) A bell, horn or other device that can be heard at least a hundred feet away. Sirens and whistles are NOT permitted. c) Bicycles driven between a half-hour after sunset and a half-hour before sunrise must be equipped with a white front headlight visible in darkness for at least 500 feet, and a red taillight visible for at least 300 feet. d) A bicycle, when purchased new and/or driven at night, must have reflective tires, or wide-angle spoke-mounted reflectors. Reflectors must be colorless or amber for front wheels and colorless or red for rear wheels. The Garden City Police Department encourages residents to incorporate these safe practices into their lives to make this school year a safe one. Please remember to read Part Four of the Back to School Series “Stranger Danger” in next week’s paper.

LIRR Third Track Proposal Police responded quickly to calls from residents of Greenridge Avenue concerning the removal of “No Third Track” signs from their lawns. Although I received a very complimentary email from one area resident about the prompt response and exemplary attitude of the responding officers, a few residents maintain that neither I nor my fellow Trustees are sufficiently concerned or informed about the LIRR Third Track proposed for the Main Line. These innuendos are simply untrue and completely unfair. As you know, I have regularly been reporting on the Third Track situation, both in this column and at our Board meetings. My goal is not only to keep residents informed but also to heighten the public’s awareness that if this massive project goes forward without detailed planning, it has the potential to irreparably adversely affect entire neighborhoods – not just the homes immediately adjacent to the Main Line tracks. I want to emphasize that contrary to a few residents’ assertions that we are not as interested in the Third Track proposal as they think we should be, this Board is extremely concerned
with the nebulous “design-as-we-go” construction plan as it is described by the Governor’s representatives and the LIRR, as well as the lack of any time frame to complete construction; the cost of the project; and the absence of concrete facts to justify the need for the project itself and how it will benefit the affected communities, one of which is ours. Over the summer, there have been extremely disconcerting news reports of the horrific affect construction of an additional track in Ronkonkoma has had on adjacent properties and nearby neighborhoods. Although the Ronkonkoma project is unrelated to the proposed Main Line Third Track between Floral Park and Hicksville, the heavy duty equipment, excruciating noise and the steady pounding emanating from laying the rails has caused cracks to form in the founda-
tions, walls and ceilings of area homes. Affected residents maintain that the LIRR denies any liability for the damage and has told them that they have to retain their own construction engineers to prove that the LIRR construction is causing the damage. The project will go on for at least another year or so. Ever since the LIRR Main Line Third Track proposal for our area came from the Governor’s office in Albany, I, along with members of your Board of Trustees, have spent innumerable hours attending meetings with his and the LIRR’s representatives, as well as Mayors and Trustees from other Villages along the Main Line. After the LIRR produced the initial Scoping Document we, along with officials from the other affected villages, vigorously protested the extremely short comment period given to the
public to make inquiries or statements about the contents – or lack thereof – in the document. We also attended public sessions held by the MTA and publicly voiced our protest about the lack of a specific plan as well as the unfairly short comment period. One of our Board members asked a representative to explain the overall lack of specifics for the project and was told because people objected to the Third Track that was initially proposed a number of years ago, they are not presenting their plans now. Yet the Governor and LIRR clearly want public approval now. Additionally, Trustees Bolebruch and Makrinos and I attended three evening meetings at New Hyde Park Village Hall where LIRR design engineers presented sketchy plans for the New Hyde Park Road grade crossing. At those meetings, they appeared to accept suggestions on ways to reconfigure roadways in connection with elimination of the grade crossing. This summer, Trustee Bolebruch and I attended a meeting at a resident’s home on Greenridge Avenue where we discussed the Third Track project as proposed at this time, and See page 20

From page 17 asked for questions and suggestions which Trustee Bolebruch submitted to the LIRR representatives. They replied for the most part by saying these comments would be covered in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS), which is projected to be published by December 2016. Quite some time ago, as your Mayor, I personally contacted every one of our elected representatives on the Town, County and State levels and urged them to write letters condemning the way this project was being rushed through with virtually no plan specifics. As a result, every one of them wrote a strong letter to the Governor and LIRR in support of our position and the rest of the Mayors of Villages along the Main Line. In addition, as a member of the Board of Directors of the Nassau County Village Officials Association, I obtained a similar letter from our organization. Finally, in conjunction with the Village of Floral Park, we retained the firm of Beveridge & Diamond, acknowledged experts in Environmental Law, to review and critique the Draft Scoping Document. Their thorough review and critique of the document clearly laid out excellent points as to the deficiencies of the Third Track project as proposed. In conjunction with other Villages along the Main Line, we hope to retain this

firm to review and critique the DEIS. Any resident can see the documents and communications posted on the Village website , www.gardencityny. net, including the critique by Beveridge & Diamond. The website clearly shows the effort we have already made on this issue. I can only encourage all of you to join us, whether or not your home is adjacent to or across the street from the Main Line. This project will affect entire neighborhoods.

The first meeting of the new season of the Irish Cultural Society features a talk by Dr. Eileen Sullivan with the intriguing title, “The Shamrock and the Cross: Irish-American Novelists Shape American Catholicism.” Professor Sullivan will examine the role of popular fiction in 19th century America in shaping the identity of Irish immigrants and the Catholic culture in America in the 19th century, a culture which lasted for well over a century. The venue for this meeting will be the Garden City Casino at 51 Cathedral Ave., Garden City on the corner of Sixth Street. The change in meeting place was caused by the repair of the elevator in the Garden City Library. The meeting starts at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, September 14. The meeting is free and open to the public. Dr. Sullivan teaches political theo-
ry at Rutgers University. She earned her Doctoral Degree in Political Science from Columbia University. She is widely published, including a recent essay in the American Journal of Irish Studies published by NYU and other articles in scholarly publications like the Journal of the History of Ideas and the Handbook of Public Policy Analysis. Professor Sullivan’s book The Shamrock and the Cross: Irish American Novelists Shape American Catholicism was recently published by the University of Notre Dame Press. Those attending the talk will appreciate the well appointed Garden City Casino and a talk by a scholar of the Irish in America. At the meeting, President Clare Curtin will announce the details of a theatre trip to the Irish Reperatory Theatre to see Finian’s Rainbow.

Glen Dance Studio Celebrates 21 Years! Last year a parent called my studio to register their 3 year old little girl. I answered all of her questions and addressed all the common concerns of a preschool mom. The mom on the phone then asked the very common question. “What if my child won’t go in?” I reassured her that I have been teaching for a long time. She shocked me with her reply. The mom on the phone said, “I know you have, you taught me!” Wow I have been doing this a long time….Kim Leary, Director of Glen Dance Studio for 20 years Glen Dance Studio’s Ideology Twenty years ago director Kim Leary founded Glen Dance Studio, Ltd. on the idea that classes at a dance studio should be both educational and FUN! She noticed that while many studios focus on a single dance routine for the majority of the school year, the teachers at Glen Dance teach technique and stage presence. Students at Glen Dance Studio learn how to dance, not a single dance routine. Beautiful Location Glen Dance Studio started 20 years ago in one shabby room on Glen St. in
Glen Cove. Since then the studio has moved two times. Glen Dance is now located in a beautiful space in the Park Plaza Shopping Center in Old Brookville. This convenient location is located in the Holiday Farm’s Center between Glen Head Rd. and Glen Cove Rd. The location has LOTS of parking and plenty of shopping for the parents. Glen Dance has grown from one small room to 4 large dance rooms each with observation TVs which allow parents to watch without disrupting the class. The studios all have professional sprung dance floors to prevent injuries and stress on the body. The space has a large waiting room with vending machines and a dancewear boutique. The studio’s repertoire of classes Two decades ago Glen Dance Studio only had three instructors. Today the staff of fifteen professional teachers at Glen Dance Studio teach the traditional dance arts such as Ballet, Tap, and Jazz as well as the trendy styles such as Contemporary and Hip-Hop. The studio also has specialized classes in Pointe, Lyrical, and Acrobatics. The beginner through
advanced students can find something they will love in Glen Dance Studio’s small personalized classes (12-18 students). The studio runs classes 6 days a week to accommodate busy schedules. With so many classes and teachers, students are sure to find something they love. The pride of the studio is the Pre-School Dance Program. This 3-4 year old program offers 45-minute classes geared towards pre-school students. It is one thing about Glen Dance Studio that has remained unchanged! The class is part ballet and part tap. The length of the class and the mix of dance styles are designed to hold the attention of young children. The primary goal of this program is to foster a love of movement. The creative component is very important. Scarves, ribbons, and other props facilitate the dancer’s physical expression. Taking part in a dancing narrative helps children understand that dancing is an expression of feelings and actions. Although these students are young, the teachers at Glen Dance studio teach the

children the correct terminology for the steps. These adorable dancers are featured in the special matinee recital. The matinee is shorter and held in the afternoon. Entertainment and security are hired to keep the children happy and safe backstage. Some of the original preschool dancers are now TEACHERS at Glen Dance Studio. What a difference 20 years makes!

New York Guard Brigadier General Stephen A. Bucaria, a New York State Supreme Court Judge and Garden City resident, has retired from the New York Guard, the state’s volunteer emergency response force. Bucaria served in the New York Guard since 1996 and has been the commander of the New York Guard since July of 2014. New York Guard members train in an unpaid status and are only paid while on State Active Duty during disasters. New York Guard members are often specialists in law or medicine or retired military personnel. They are not members of a federal military reserve force like the Army or Air National Guard but are considered part of New York’s state military forces who take their orders from the governor. There are currently 500 members of the New York Guard who are trained
to assist the National Guard with logistics, communications and staff work during emergencies. The New York Guard was first organized in World War I to serve as a state military force when the New York National Guard was called up and deployed to France. The organization was revived in World War II and made permanent in the 1950s. Bucaria was among the 2,500 members of the New York Army and Air National Guard, the New York Naval Militia and the New York Guard who responded following the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. His team of New York Guard members assisted Guard Soldiers at armories across New York City, providing security, administrative and logistics support as the Guard Soldiers and Airmen worked with police, firefighters and other emergency responders. New York Guard Col. George
DeSimone, a retired New York City firefighter and National Guard officer, who currently serves as deputy commander of the New York Guard, will assume Bucaria’s responsibilities as acting commander of the New York Guard. As commander of the New York Guard’s 13th Regiment Bucaria and other New York Guard lawyers helped draft wills and other legal documents for deploying members of the New York National Guard as they mobilized for duty in Afghanistan and Iraq following the Sept. 11 attacks. Bucaria served in a number of leadership positions in the New York Guard before assuming command in 2014. His military awards include the NYS Meritorious Service Medal, the NYS Long and Faithful Service, and the NYS Defense of Liberty Medal , for service in response to the 9/11 attacks.

Western resident appointed to Water Authority
John A. Ardito John A. Ardito, Esq., a 13-year resident of Garden City, was recently appointed to the board of the Water Authority of Western Nassau County by the Garden City Board of Trustees. In 1996, the Water Authority acquired the Nassau County portion of the water supply and distribution system in Western Garden City, previously owned by Jamaica Water Supply Company. John now becomes one of the Authority’s nine non-salaried
Board members. His fellow members consist of 2 appointed by the Town of Hempstead, 2 appointed by the Town of North Hempstead, and one member each appointed by the village boards of the remaining villages served by the Authority — Bellerose, Floral Park, New Hyde Park, South Floral Park and Stewart Manor. John succeeds longtime Garden City Water Authority director, Herbert Brown, who also lives in the Western section of Garden City. John has an impressive background of volunteerism in his beloved community of Garden City. Only about a year after moving to the Village with his wife and children in 2003, John joined the Western Property Owners Association (WPOA), and served as membership director, taking great pride in increasing membership levels during his tenure. He was elected and served the WPOA as secretary, and in December 2008, was appointed by the Garden City Village Board to the Village’s Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA). As recently as January 2016, John was a guest speaker at a general meeting of the WPOA, and outlined for those in attendance, the types of home improvements that would require a variance and the various aspects of filing a Notice of Appeal for a Variance. He mentioned that prior to the scheduled ZBA meetings the board members often visit the properties on the agenda and speak with the owners regarding
their intent for the proposed improvement. When making a final decision regarding an appeal, John stressed that the ZBA members try to balance the impact to the neighbors and neighborhood with the residents’ ability to use and enjoy their property. During the five years he served on the WPOA Board of Directors, John was active in a number of prominent issues at the time, most notably, his monitoring of the third track project when it was initially proposed in 2005, and on a larger scale, developing and offering a proposal, one of six, in response to the Village’s Request For Proposals for the development of St. Paul’s School. While John’s proposal was not approved by the Board of Trustees, he remains open to an appropriate solution for St. Paul’s. An attorney with over 24 years of experience handling diverse cases involving serious personal injury, wrongful death, civil rights violations and commercial disputes in both the Federal and New York State Court Systems, John is senior partner and co-founder of the Law Offices of Ardito and Ardito, located in Franklin Square. John holds a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from Adelphi University, a Juris Doctorate from Touro College Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Center, and is a member of the New York State and Nassau County Bar Associations. John is an avid supporter of numer-
Grandparents:
ous local civic organizations and charities. He is a former board member of the Community Advisory Board of a local hospital, has coordinated and coached youth travel soccer teams, and is a mentor at a local middle school through the Nassau County Bar Association’s Mentorship Program. “My family and I enjoy living in the village of Garden City and being part of such a great community,” John remarks, “and as a family, we truly share the village’s spirit of community and volunteerism.” He adds, “It is apparent that tremendous effort goes into making Garden City such a wonderful place to live, first on behalf of the paid Village staff, and then, by the many volunteers of the Village—not only those serving on Property Owners Associations (POAs) and Village boards and commissions, but also those volunteering in our schools, PTAs, athletic programs, religious programs, our library, scouting programs, charitable benefits and countless resources our village and residents have to offer.” “I encourage all residents to fully support their POAs, become active in the village form of government and support our Community Agreement,” says John. “Garden City has an incredible heritage, and I believe that with a continued strong spirit of community support and participation, Garden City’s greatest days lie ahead!”

IN MEMORIAM John E Curry
John E. Curry, beloved father of 8 children all of whom graduated Garden City High School, cherished grandfather of 17, and loving husband of 60 years to Ann, passed away on July 29, 2016 with his family at his side, at the age of 85 from complications of Parkinson’s Disease. Jack was born in 1931 in western Pennsylvania and graduated from “Glorious” Johnstown High School in 1949. He would become the only attorney in a class of nearly 600. He attended “Junior Pitt’ and then graduated from the University of Pittsburgh in 1952. He then interrupted law school to serve in the Navy. He graduated from OCS, (Officer’s Candidate School in Newport, Rhode Island.) and achieved the rank of Lieutenant, Junior Grade. Jack served three years on the Admiral’s Staff, where he fondly told stores of playing tennis with the Admiral and hosting staff events as MC. During this time, Jack married his lovely home town girlfriend whom he brought to Norfolk to marry her in a ‘saber arch” ceremony. Jack and Ann came to New York a year later, as Jack often stated, ‘practically alone”. But not for long… they proceeded to have 8 children! Jack completed Fordham Law School at night, with honors. In the day, he worked full time for Travelers insurance Company-first as an adjuster and then as a trial attorney.
After law school, Jack and Ann moved out to Westbury. He formed a law firm with Jerry Rosenthal that exists still today as Rosenthal & Curry, at 1600 Front Street in East Meadow and run by his sons, Patrick and Tom. As Jack said at a Roast for Jerry in 1972, “...this was a mutually beneficial relationship with a great partnership agreement. I was just nervous when the last five pages were in Hebrew.” In 1963, Jack, immersed himself in local school board affairs, and formed the Independent Tax Payers of East Meadow (ITEM) to derail a proposed third high School in East Meadow, preventing a certain “white elephant.” Jack and Ann moved to Garden City in 1972. The Currys lived at 66 Washington Avenue from 1972 to 1996. Jack was a long time parishioner at St. Joseph’s where he also taught CCD. In Village affairs, Jack was a leader of the Garden City Fund For Environmental Preservation, “The Fund” which from 1989 through approximately 1993 championed environmental issues and advocated a greater watchdog approach to issues of over-development. Jack enjoyed his two years as Trustee immensely. He was widely regarded as a stalwart against over-development; as unshakable in his support of basketball hoops when that issue garnered widespread media attention and as a quick wit. Personally warm and gentlemanly with friends and colleagues, Jack

weighed into civic affairs with elan and with a fierce advocacy. Jack was unafraid to take on the establishment and relished giving a bull horn to marginalized voices. It was observed that “Jack enjoyed the romance of the fight,” and friends and foe alike referred to him as “battling Jack Curry”. Jack was a member of Cherry Valley Club in Garden City for nearly 40 years. He was renowned for “The Curry Game,” keeping score in his head for his entire foursome, and his ready availability to play with the “misfits”. He served on their Board of Governors. In 1996, the Currys moved to Cathedral Gardens, West Hempstead to “downsize”, and to be even closer to children, grandchildren, and Cherry Valley. Jack is survived by his 8 children and their spouses, Sean, Suzie and Kevin Heaphy, Kathleen (Candy) and Ross Holt, Kerry and Edwin Keusey, Kevin and Christine Curry, Patrick and Suki Curry, Tom and Jen Curry, and Heather Wick. The Curry family warmly remembers their father for his generosity, his charm, his wisdom, and for boldly going in the direction of his dreams. And we remark that the source of his courage and supreme confidence --which were the hallmarks of his success --was his firm foundation. Jack Curry knew who Jack Curry was -- a child of God. At a young age, he examined his life, and asked of himself, “was life a tale told by an idiot, full of sound

Philip Franzese passed away on August 26, at the age of 86, with his family by his side. He was born and raised in Brooklyn. He was a long time resident of Garden City, where he built the house that he and his wife Annette, raised their four children. He was a successful construction contractor and Real Estate operator for sixty years. He is predeceased by his wife, Annette, and is survived by his children Denise(Robert), Frank(Carolyn), Tina, Philip and his six cherished grandchildren. Phil had many passions in life, but his oldest passion was the accordion, which he played for over 70 years. He began playing as a young boy, and as an adult, was a member of the Accordion Pops Orchestra and founding member of the Long Island Accordion Alliance. He played at Carnegie Hall and even appeared in an off Broadway musical, the “White Widow” in 2008. Phil was an avid gardener who loved sharing his garden with friends. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus, a 60 year parishioner at the Church of St. Joseph, and a former member of the

Born December 27, 1913, at what is now Withrop Hospital in Mineola, Jane Clark Bergen grew up in her parents’ home on John Street and attended local schools and Packer in Brooklyn. She married fellow Hempstead High School graduate Rufus Burr Smith in 1935. After their divorce, she moved to
Garden City Country Club and Garden City Casino. Phil truly touched the hearts of those who knew him. This caring man will be greatly missed. A Funeral Mass was held at the Church of St. Joseph on Friday, followed by burial at the Cemetery of the Holy Rood.
and fury signifying nothing?” Jack answered… “No.” For Jack Curry, God was the giver of life and purpose. A faithful Catholic throughout his life, he believed Jesus Christ was Lord and Savior; and his teachings, sublime. Jack was particularly moved by Christ’s teachings on forgiveness and admonished us to not live in resentment but in hope. A funeral mass was held at St. Joseph’s Church on August 2nd. Jack Curry is buried at Calverton National Cemetery. On his gravestone-- his favorite poem: “Even This Shall Pass Away”

WHAT’S UP G.C. ?!
“Shampoo” BY JOHN ELLIS KORDES Today, there are dozens of shampoos to choose from at a local store. Hair care products are big business around the world. However, just over 100 years ago there was no shampoo at the local stores. So, how did people clean their hair before the 1890’s The main function of a shampoo is to remove the scalp’s natural sebum oil from the hair. It is this oil that causes dirt to stick to hair. Ordinary soap does not work well because it leaves its own deposits. The ancient Egyptians had a popular method for cleaning hair. They mixed water and citrus juice - the citric acid effectively cutting the sebum oil. These homemade citrus preparations were popular for centuries. Late in the Middle Ages a new alternative method was developed which involved boiling water, some soap with soda or potash. These homemade brews and their formulas were handed down from genera-
tion to generation. In the 1870’s the British government had taken control of India from the ruling British East India Company. At this time, the Hinduspeaking India’s fashion and art as well as Hindu phrases were in vogue in England. In that same decade, British hairdressers were the first to begin using the phrase “shampoo” from the Hindu “champo” - meaning “to massage “ or “to knead.” Still shampoo was a homemade mixture which differed at each salon. It was in Germany in the 1890’s that the first detergent based shampoo was produced and after WWI, shampoos were mass produced and marketed. In this country, it was John Breck who launched the shampoo industry in America. His first shampoo was introduced in 1930 and ten years later he was selling a variety of shampoos nationwide. John Brecks’ shampoos were America’s leading brand at one point.

Keeping the gardens in Garden City

Not pictured: Janet Curtin, Committee member. Working in cooperation with the Village Department of Recreation and Parks, including Director Kevin Ocker, Chairman of the Board of Commissioners and of Cultural Affairs and Michael Dydik, Parks General Supervisor and Village Aborist, Garden City’s Civic Beautification Committee continues to enhance the Village landscape with seasonal displays which provide a sequence of bloom in Garden City throughout the seasons. In recent years, additional plantings have been added to areas around Village Hall and have continued on entryways to the Village, all railroad stations, parks, Village monuments and at the Public Library. This past spring/summer, pink and white wave petunias filled 108 baskets along Seventh Street, Franklin Avenue and New Hyde Park Road, outdoing those of last year due to an earlier start. One special landscape improvement was at the Clock Bed at Franklin and Stewart Avenues where old plantings were removed and replaced with Knockout Roses, Hydrangeas and yews. At a meeting at the Recreation Department on September 7, the
Committee discussed plantings for the2016 fall season. Mums in fall shades will be ablaze at various Village sites with vinca and other annuals in bloom until frost. Enhancement is planned at the Clock Bed and Fountain at Franklin and Stewart Avenues. The Civic Beautification Committee, appointed by the Mayor of Garden City each year, consists of representatives from all four property owners’ associations who work along with Messrs. Ocker and Dydik to both designate and design various landscape improvements.

Fall events are starting With ATHENA
Today is Sunday and so far the weather has been good for the holiday. One more day to go and then it will be back to school. Can’t you just see or at least hear the children shouting that it’s time to go back and see all their friends again. I do think that the children of today are much like the children of our generation. One thing I am sure of is that they will all be happy to see their friends from school and share their summer time happenings with each other. Actually, the grown-ups are doing much the same. Fall meetings are being planned and it will not be long until clubs will be active again. The Community Club of Garden City and Hempstead will soon have their opening Friendship Luncheon followed by their monthly Board meeting. At this time the board members will see what will be happening and make their plans accordingly. September will also continue with a trip to see the Broadway Musical “1776” in the John W. Engeman Theatre on September 24th followed by a tour to Sagamore Hill - the home of Teddy Roosevelt - on September 28th. The Community Club’s first general program will take place on October 5th at the Garden City Casino. This will be a musical program “Broadway and Beyond.” This is certainly the best way to start the club’s new year of 2016-17. Call the club office at 516746-0488 if you would like to join the club. They have great programs and a variety of them through the year. The Fall Term for Continuing Education through the Garden City Public Schools is out and they have some very interesting offerings. Better look through it and register right away so as not to get left out. Look through it and then register for: Continuing Education Office, Administration Building, 50 Cathedral Ave., Garden City, NY 11530. If you have questions call 516478-1070. The Federated Garden Clubs II
District will be hosting their Fall Luncheon at the Crest Hollow Country Club in Woodbury on Monday, October 17th. This is a luncheon program that is always good. It starts at 10 a.m. with a program followed by luncheon and the fee is $50 per person. If you love gardening you will love this. Checks should payable to Elizabeth Walsh, 2 Banbury Lane, Lloyd Harbor, NY 11743-1602. Happy Birthday wishes go to Ray Finnerty, who will do his celebrating on September 16th. Arlene Palmer will be sharing the day but not the cake as her birthday is also September 16th. Muriel and Al Urban will be celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary on almost that same day, the 15th of September. The Garden City Casino Ladies Lunch Bridge will be starting very soon and on September 15th the Ladies Lunch Bridge at the Garden City Country Club will be held. The Chrysanthemum Lunch Bridge will be held on Monday, October 17th at noon at the Garden City Community Church. The price for that one is $25 per person. If there is another Lunch Bridge somewhere in between I have not heard of it as of this writing. Vacations are over but one family’s vacation was a cruise leaving from Baltimore and coming back they did run into the storm that was coming up from the south and the trip got very rocky with a number of folks feeling sick. Of course, all was good when they booked the trip, but who knows what the weather will be in any season the way things have been going. At least, for most of the trip , the weather was good and they had a nice time. While you never know what the weather has in store for you when you plan a trip, you just have to take what comes your way. For those who have just gotten back, Welcome Home! See you next week.

As adults approach their golden years, the homes they once thought of as sanctuaries can become unsafe. Families wrestle with the decision to keep parents and grandparents in their homes or move them into assisted living facilities or other senior residences. Modifying seniors’ homes to make them safer is another option. The National Institute on Aging says that families may be able to have a senior stay at home by helping older relatives remain independent but safe. The following are a few ways to do just that. • Remove fall hazards. The NIA reports that six out of 10 falls happen at home, where people spend the most time and fail to think about their safety. Seniors who want to be independent may overestimate their physical abilities. Because falls can be so dangerous, leading to cuts, abrasions, broken bones, and more, seniors and their families must take steps to prevent falls in homes. Improve lighting, especially at night when sight may become diminished. Install hand rails and grab bars where possible. Pick up clutter and remove tripping hazards, such as slippery rugs or electric cords. Install an electric stair climbing seat to make traversing stairs less risky. • Improve visibility and ability to communicate. Vision loss may accompany aging, but technology can help mitigate such losses. Use big-button phones, re-
mote controls and even keyboards so seniors can keep in touch. Voice-activated thermostats or smart home technology also can make it easier for seniors to voice their needs. • Modify fixtures and other features. Dexterity may wane with age, and arthritis can make grasping or turning doorknobs and faucets more challenging. Take inventory of areas of the home that present the biggest obstacles to seniors. Replace knobs in the shower or on faucets with lever handles, which are easier to ma-
neuver. Install new cabinets and doors that freely glide open and self-close. Replace toggle light switches with easier paddle-type switches that can be pushed with a hand or even arm. Motion-sensor lights also can be handy. Push-button oven controls may make cooking easier. • Prepare for medical emergencies. Invest in medical alert systems, such as necklaces or bracelets, that can be used to contact police or emergency medical personnel directly. Make phones available in commonly used rooms in the home, such as bedrooms, the living room, bathrooms, and the kitchen. • Install ramps and nonslip flooring. Ramps can make it easier to reach the front door or cross over elevated doorway thresholds. Nonslip flooring also can prevent falls around the house, offering more traction for feet, walkers or canes. • Repair cracks in walkways and driveways. Safety should also extend to the outdoors. Be sure to repair cracks or uneven pavement. Replace loose patio blocks or bricks with a more stable design or with concrete or asphalt. While outdoors, trim back bushes and make sure there are no tripping hazards outside as well. A few modifications can make it possible for seniors to live comfortably in their homes for many years.

Diet and exercise needs change as men and women age
Maintaining a healthy weight is important at any age. But avoiding being overweight or obese can be particularly crucial for seniors, considering many illnesses are tied to body weight. Maintaining a healthy immune system also can require eating a balanced, nutritionally sound diet. The Geriatric Research, Education, and Clinical Center at Durham Medical Center in Virginia says people need to change how they eat for every decade they reach. Caloric intake should be reduced because individuals are generally moving around less, have less muscle and their metabolic rates decline. People who find that they are having trouble losing weight in their 50s and older may be basing weight-loss goals on calorie recommendations for younger people. One challenging thing about eating less overall is supplementing with more nutrient-rich foods. Older bodies still require similar amounts of protein, vitamins and minerals as younger ones, but older men and women must balance that need with their need to consume less calories. Consuming more fruits, vegetables and lean protein sources, including beans, and choosing whole grains over refined starchy foods can be the key. Watch what you drink, as well. Soft drinks and other sugary beverages may be packed with calories you don’t need. Choose unsweetened beverages and opt for water as much as possible. Protect yourself against dehydration, which can be harder to detect as you get older. In addition to modifying food and beverage choices and reducing their calorie intake, seniors should continue to exercise. Healthy eating paired with moderate exercise remains one of the best combinations for healthy weight loss or weight maintenance. The goal
tamins from food, including vitamin B12 and vitamin D. Aging skin is less able to transform sunlight into the vitamin, which can affect the body’s ability to absorb calcium. Deficiencies in vitamins D and B12 and calcium can result in a number of health conditions. Routine blood work can help pinpoint whether you are deficient in key nutrients. The body’s nutritional and fitness needs change as a person ages. Those uncertain about the lifestyle changes they will need to make should speak with their physicians.
Did you know?
is to consume fewer calories and expend more energy. While cardiovascular exercises can be a good way to get the heart pumping and stimulate your metabolic rate, as you age you should perform strength-training and weight-bearing exercises as well. Muscle mass naturally diminishes with age, and according to the Mayo Clinic if you avoid strength exercises you can eventually lose muscle and increase the percentage of fat in your body. Strength training also helps you develop stronger bones, which can help prevent fractures. In addition, as you gain muscle, your body will begin to burn calories more efficiently, making your time in and out of the gym more productive. Apart from diet and exercise, aging adults may need to consult with their doctors about nutritional supplements. Your body may produce less stomach acid as you get older, making it more difficult to absorb vi-

Men and women over 50 who are considering returning to school may be eligible for financial assistance through various programs. According to the American Association of Retired Persons, older men and women who want to go back to school do not necessarily have to bankroll that expenditure on their own. AARP notes that the Internal Revenue Service offers tax breaks such as the American Opportunity Tax Credit and the Lifetime Learning Tax Credit that older students can take advantage of to lessen the blow of tuition costs, which have risen considerably since today’s men and women over 50 were in college. Older men and women may also be able to take advantage of 529 college savings accounts they opened for their children that their kids did not end up needing. AARP also notes that men and women over 50 who want to apply for financial aid must be prepared to enroll in more than one class and in more than just a continuing education program. More information is available at aarp.org.

Heart health should be a concern for people of all ages, but especially so for men and women over 50. That’s because, according to the American Heart Association, even men and women who are free of cardiovascular disease at age 50 are at a significant lifetime risk of developing the disease. But heart disease does not have to be an accepted byproduct of aging. For example, a 2014 study published in the AHA journal Circulation found that maintaining or increasing physical activity after age 65 can improve the heart’s well-being and lower risk of heart attack. In addition to increasing physical activity as they age, older men and women who understand heart disease and learn to recognize its symptoms have a greater chance of minimizing its affects and lowering their risk of having a heart attack. What are the symptoms of heart disease? Heart disease is a blanket term used to describe a host of conditions, so symptoms vary depending on each individual condition. The following are some of the more widely known conditions and their symptoms: • Hypertension: Also known as high blood pressure, hypertension is a largely symptomless form of heart disease. The AHA notes that the idea that hypertension produces symptoms such as difficulty sleeping, facial flushing, nervousness, and sweating is a misconception. Symptoms typically do not alert men and women to the presence of hypertension, highlighting the emphasis men and women should place on routine visits to the doctor’s office, where their blood pressure can be taken. • Heart attack: The symptoms of a heart attack are

different than the symptoms of heart disease that may lead to heart attack. The former can be found by visiting www.heart.org. Signs that you may be heading toward a heart attack include undue fatigue, palpitations (the sensation that your heart is skipping a beat or beating too rapidly), dyspnea (difficulty or labored breathing), chest pain or discomfort from increased activity. • Arrhythmia: Arrhythmia means your heartbeat is irregular, and men and women often mistakenly believe arrhythmia only afflicts those who already have been diagnosed with heart disease or have had a heart attack. But arrhythmia can affect even those men and women who have healthy hearts and no history of cardiovascular disease. Symptoms of arrhythmia can vary greatly, from a single premature beat to a series of premature beats that occur in rapid succes-

How Can I Tell If I Have Glaucoma?
What is glaucoma? Glaucoma is an eye disease in which the optic nerve is damaged, causing permanent vision loss. Most commonly, the damage occurs when your eye’s internal fluid pressure rises too high. Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness in the U.S. What causes glaucoma? The exact cause of glaucoma is not known. For some reason, the passages that normally allow fluid within your eye become clogged or blocked. Fluid within your eye builds up and increases pressure on the optic nerve. The nerve fibers and blood vessels in the optic nerve are easily damaged by this pressure, resulting in vision loss. An injury, infection or tumor in or around the eye can also cause the pressure to rise. People who have glaucoma with normal eye pressure likely have poor blood flow to the optic nerve. Who gets glaucoma? Glaucoma most frequently occurs in individuals over the age of 40. In some families, the disease is hereditary. It is estimated that over 2 million Americans have glaucoma, and this number is expected to rise as the U.S. population ages. How is glaucoma harmful to vision? The optic nerve, at the back of the eye,
carries visual information to the brain. As the optic nerve fibers are damaged, the amount and quality of information sent to the brain decreases and a loss of vision occurs. Will I go blind from glaucoma? If diagnosed at an early stage, glaucoma can often be controlled with little or no further vision loss. If left untreated, first peripheral vision and then central vision will be affected, and blindness may result. How Is glaucoma detected? A comprehensive optometric examination will include tests for glaucoma. A simple, painless procedure called tonometry measures the internal pressure of your eye. Health of the optic nerve and your field of vision will be checked. How is glaucoma treated? Glaucoma is usually effectively treated with prescription eye drops and medicines that must be taken regularly. Some cases require laser therapy or surgery. Will my vision be restored after treatment? No. But early detection and treatment can control glaucoma and reduce the chances of vision loss.

How can I protect my heart? Heart healthy habits take some effort, but men and women can protect their hearts regardless of their ages. • Get sufficient exercise. At least 30 minutes of exercise per day can protect against disease. • Quit smoking. Smoking increases your risk for a host of ailments, including heart disease. Quitting is a great way to start getting your heart and other parts of your body back on track. • Include heart-healthy foods in your diet. A diet that is rich in fruits and vegetables and low in cholesterol, salt and saturated fat promotes heart health. • Don’t drink alcohol to excess. Like smoking, drinking alcohol to excess can lead to a host of problems, such as high blood pressure, arrhythmia and high cholesterol, each of which increases your risk of heart disease. • Lose weight. Being overweight or obese is a major risk factor for heart disease. If you have already started to exercise daily and eat a more heart-healthy diet, then you’re on your way to losing weight. Consult your physician if diet and exercise don’t seem to be helping you to shed pounds. Heart disease kills millions of people across the globe each year, many of whom are over 50. But men and women who learn about heart disease and how to reduce their risk stand a far greater chance of fighting the disease.

GC Farmers Market shifts gears for fall harvest From page 1
Baked goods and other goodness
On Tuesday, August 30, Orchard of the Conklins also showcased its honey, apple cider donuts, pies, and apple cookies. Fresh corn is usually sold at the farmers’ market right up to November. But if variety is the spice of life, the Garden City market sees changes and additions to keep in tune with freshness of most other crops. “We only sell what we grow and it is fresh-picked just for the market that day. Things change though, and in time we might not offer basil. That’s a true farmer’s market – if we came in with the same stuff week after week it would be questionable. It can’t be that way. A lot of times people will ask ‘how come you don’t have zucchini this week?’ But we’re in the middle of a drought and we are done with zucchini for a while. We will have it back again. It’s important to educate the consumer that with seasons and fresh crops you might not have exactly what you were looking for, but there is everything else to look forward to. New crops come in and they love it – when all those winter squash arrive it’s wonderful,” Terry said. Brian works the farm stand for Orchard of the Conklins, which offers fruit, fruit pies, cookies, cider, fresh eggs, homemade peanut butter, quiche, and honey. At the August 30 Garden City Farmers Market Brian had apple cider doughnuts, and he says more fall seasonal treats are on the way. Steve Price of Papa Pasquale’s Raviolis of Brooklyn tends the longest counter at the Garden City Farmers Market. The pasta and Italian foods company attends other Long Island markets such as Sayville’s on Saturdays and Kings Park on Sundays. Papa Pasquale’s sells its fresh-made raviolis of all flavors including its house specialty five-cheese ravioli as well as ready to eat Italian dinners, smoked meats, delicate sauces, pesto spreads and cheeses. Their flagship store is located on the corner of 15th and 78th street in Brooklyn, and the family-run business has been operating since 2001. Aside from growers the Garden City Farmers’ Market features entrepreneurs including Vienna Cookie Company, the expert maker of linzer tarts and butter cookies. Marie Helene’s Gourmet Delights features her specialty of “shoe cupcakes” among dozens of other baked goods. Imperial empanadas have added a quick, convenient and hot bite for people visiting the farmers’ market. Chicken burgers of all specialty flavors from Gianni’s Pork Store are at the market each Tuesday. Al Fenza Productions boosts the offerings with gourmet mayonnaise sold in a variety of flavors. Their fresh chicken salad is another item Terry says food shoppers won’t find at the local grocery stores.
Jams and jellies from Peck’s of Maine adds a sweet touch, and Orwashers Artists Breads deliver the perfect complement to the palate. Papa Pasquale’s homemade ravioli is a favorite among farmers’ markets held in the Hamptons on weekends, but Garden City gets a taste of the Brooklynbased Italian cuisine every Tuesday. “He has every kind of Italian meal prepared for either lunch or dinner. Meatballs, manicotti, pastas and ravioli, cheeses and sauces – he’s wonderful as all the purveyors here are,” Terry says. Pickle Pete brings pickles of many varieties, pickled vegetables and olives. Bread Italian (stuffed breads) showcased last Thanksgiving weekend at the Cradle of Aviation Museum’s Long Island Festival of Trees. They are a mainstay at the Garden City Farmers Market.
Beauty products
Food for the skin is also ready for visitors to the weekly market. Jennifer Goldman, proprietor of Essential Rose Teas LLC offers dry teas, ice teas and a complete line of skin-care oils. Goldman is certified in reiki healing levels 1 and 2. The healthy, fresh foods at the market are accompanied by her health and well-being tea and oil items, and also a niche beverage: her special “champagne tea” which Terry described. “Champagne teas are very unique, an exotic tea made with a pressurized type of fermenting. They had to have a very special type of license in order to bring that to the market, which they do have,” she said. Peggy Ehlers of Nuna Knits Creative Inspiration brings the Garden City market her fashion featuring exquisite wool items, including socks from the Saxon Merino wool, known for its softness and skin-friendly attributes. In late August Ehlers was interviewed by writer Lisa Schiffman who’s interested in the growing Long Island wool business. Ehlers explained that she works exclusively with an upstate breeder who specializes in raising Saxon Merino sheep to produce ultra-fine fleeces – below 15 microns, sometimes even under 12 microns. Most merino wool falls in the 20 to 22 micron range and super-fine merino falls between 18 to 19 microns. At the Garden City market with a few customers and passers-by listening on, she spoke about the history of the Saxon Merino breed dating to 1700s and the King of Spain sending sheep to the Dutch Cape Colony of South Africa and the breed’s eventual proliferation in Germany, then Australia. Ehlers said merino contains lanolin, which has antibacterial properties, resulting in reduced human body odor and is a much better option for athletic performance wear than many heavily-marketed brand name products such as Lululemon and Under Armour. She even wrote a book for schoolchildren all
Vendors at the Gardne City Farmers Market include Brian from Orchard of the Conklins
about the types of wool and fabrics on the market. Ehlers also integrates the best of other vendors’ products from the market. For one of her home-made body oils she utilizes olive oils direct from California from Arlotta Food Studio. Terry said she enjoys how Ehlers’ goods and custom-made products set a tone among all the fresh foods and add to the old-fashioned feel of the Garden City Farmers’ Market. While Ehlers attends weekly markets in Manhasset (Christopher Morley Park) and Sag Harbor as well, she spoke with the News and noted the high quality of all the vendors participating on the Tuesdays in the village. She says the choices each week are not only hidden gems, they’re becoming essential in a busy and busier world. “People that come over to me and the other booths and tables at this market want just one thing: something real. Whether it’s fresh food, produce, teas or wool clothing – people want real, and no matter where they go they just can’t find it any more. WE are providing real, proven-quality to every customer,” Ehlers said. The added personal touch of quality that only a growers’ market has, going beyond farm-to-table and literally from farmer to consumer, is what Terry says motivates her when planning each season. The interactions with each producer, on her end and the customers’, can be refreshing. “That’s what makes Long Island Growers’ Markets a huge success; you can only sell what you actually make, bake, grow or catch. Every vendor at all of my locations throughout Nassau and Suffolk counties have to be owner-operators. The farmer is the anchor, they must prove to us that they actually make the products – our consumers know that and it’s our reputation. They know if they go to Pickle Pete he is making those pickles and Conklin is picking
apples from her orchard. Everybody makes their own products and that makes us very unique – it’s not stale or warehoused foods and goods, no holding pattern somewhere. It’s all fresh and made for the markets,” Terry said. Other than Garden City, bigger Long Island markets she runs are in Seaford and Islip on Saturdays, Huntington and Rockville Centre on Sundays, Christopher Morley Park in Manhasset on ____ and others. Huntington is the largest one with 42 vendors this year whiles others generally have between 30 and 40. A small market is held in Port Jefferson, in the parking lot of The Steam Room restaurant every Thursday, but Terry says that’s more of a courtesy done for WIC recipients and senior citizens. Islip was the very first location for Ethel Terry when she started the market operations 26 years ago. New vendors are added to Long Island Growers weekly as they hear about Terry’s markets, the high quality and success. “In my experience, especially when I talk with my new vendors, a farmers’ market is a stepping stone to your future. If you have good product, you show it well, sample it and you have consistency, you are going to go places. The biggest examples – Ben & Jerry’s ice cream started at a farmers’ market, and Starbucks did too. Look what their farm stand turned into! It happens. A lot of my vendors through the years have gone on to open storefronts or had their brands picked up by national brands. It’s a wonderful way to start your business and if you have a store in any community, you showcase – people may not know if you have a store too but now they’re going to know,” she said.

Biking Albania: Touring Centuries Old City of Gjirokaster By Karen Rubin (I travel to Albania with BikeTours. com’s President Jim Johnson on a specially constructed “President’s Tour” itinerary that modifies the regular “Albania’s UNESCO Sites with Rivers, Valleys, and Gorges” trip. See columns 8/12, 8/19, 8/26, 9/2) Our ride today, thea sixth day of cycling (seventh of the tour), will bring us into the historic city of Gjirokaster – a centuries-old Ottoman-era city carved into the hillside overlooking a spectacular river valley. Today’s 46 km ride is one of the easiest – almost steadily downhill or flat – for a total elevation gain of just 200 meters and a loss of 360 meters. We follow the Vjoca River to Kelcyra Gorge. We stop on the road in a small village (I note the bridal shop) and Junid, our guide on this biking journey across the southern part of Albania, picks up ice cream for 50 Leke (that’s about 50 cents for an ice cream that would be $2.50 in the US) and we fill our water bottles by a natural spring – fresh and cool. Our lunch is in a delightful restaurant which literally has a stream running over it, like a waterfall. We sit upstairs on a terrace, and the water runs down as we eat, making it look like a sunshower. After a most delightful lunch, we drive in the van 24 km along a highway and then up a steep, twisting road into the old city of Gjirokaster (also spelled Gjirokastra or Girocastro) built on a hill 300 meters high, overlooking a lush valley beside the mountains Mali Gjerë and the Drinos river. This means we only biked 46 km
The view from the castle of Gjirokaster, a UNESCO-protected living history city in Albania, overlooks a lush valley © 2016 Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com instead of 70 km, but that saves our legs and lungs (which would have been brutal to go up the hill to the village). The biking trip is not designed to be a brutal test of endurance; it is designed so that we can really enjoy the scenery and get a sense of place. So driving us into Gjirokaster also gives us more time (and energy) to explore “the city of 1000 steps”, with its narrow cobblestone streets, that is dominated by a formidable castle. Old City of Gjirokaster I quickly drop my things at the Hotel Cajupi, right below the Castle which looms from above, and go off to explore on my own before we are scheduled to meet for Junid to take us on a walking tour.
Gjirokaster is one of the oldest cities of Albania, its name means Silver Fortress and the city clearly shows the confluence of Greek, Roman, Turkish and Albanian cultures. The historic district is a protected UNESCO World Heritage Site. Gjirokaster is a very popular tourist attraction (they are cultivating cultural tourism) and it is understandable why we see (wonderful) souvenir shops, English signs, historic markers with English translation, a fantastic tourist map. In fact, these are the best (actually only) tourist shops we encounter on our trip. That’s not because of American tourists, who are scant in number
G O I N G P L A C E S N E A R A N D F A R
(though I do come upon a few), but because of Scandinavians, Swiss, Germans and Poles who come for whom English is the most common language. I explore a bit on my own and enjoy discovering the 18-19th century houses with their distinct architectural features. The “city of a thousand steps” which is also known as the “city of stone” is distinguished by hundreds of Ottoman-style tower houses with distinctive shapes, stone roofs, wooden balconies and whitewashed stone walls. Gjirokaster has gone “from feudal See page D2

Biking Albania: Touring Centuries Old City of Gjirokaster Continued from page D1 stronghold to Ottoman jewel to Italian colony, the city has known many rulers and has inspired poets, authors and artists,” Europa Travel & Tours, an Albanian travel company, notes. The network of cobblestone streets climb steeply out of a bazaar at the center of the old town. You walk ever higher to the 13th century castle. The village is perched on the steep side of the Drino Valley overlooking a stunning landscape framed by snowcapped mountains. In 1336, the city was known by its Greek name, Argyrokastro and was part of the Byzantine Empire. It later became the center of the local principality under the Albanian lord, Gjon Zenebishi before falling under Ottoman Empire rule for the next five centuries. It was occupied by the Greek Army during the Balkan Wars because of its large Greek population (street signs are in both Albanian and Greek and the Greek minority still speaks Greek instead of Albanian). It was eventually incorporated into Albania in 1913, when Albania won its independence from the Ottoman Empire, and the Council of Ambassadors (Western powers) put the area within its borders. Gjirokaster owes its preservation to the fact it is the birthplace of the former Albanian Communist dictator Enver Hoxha, who ordered that the city remain untouched (except for destroying the mosques; the city, Junid says, once had 15 mosques but today has only one). It has been under UNESCO protection since 2005. This is a city that honors three important writers including Ismail Kadare, most famous for “Chronicle in
Enjoying dinner in Gjirokaster, Albania © 2016 Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear. com Stone” which is set in Gjirokaster, tells the history of the city during the Italian and Greek occupation in World War I and II. Kadare, who lives between Paris and Albania, was nominated five times for the Nobel Prize in Literature and was awarded a gold medal from French President Hollande. You can visit his house in Gjirokaster. Gjirokaster Castle Gjrokaster has an abundance of fascinating attractions but the two standouts are the oldest, grandest house, and the Castle that lords over the town and the valley below. According to some notes I am able to find, the castle dates back to the 12th century, the earliest parts built by the Despots of Epirus, an off-shoot
of the Byzantine government. It was reconstructed and adapted to modern war techniques during the reign of Ali Pasha of Tepelene, 1812-1821. The magnificent clock tower and an aqueduct were added in the 1800s. But it was Zog, the self-proclaimed King of the Albanians, who, in the 1920s, converted the fortress into a garrison and political prison. Zog also forged an alliance with Mussolini, who provided funds to Albania to modernize its army, but, in 1930, sent 30,000 Italian soldiers to occupy Albania. As Junid relates, Mussolini modernized Albania’s army believing that Albania would provide a barrier for Italy’s own defense. “But then the King made a new connection with
Mussolini’s enemy – so Mussolini invaded and occupied and used castle for defense,” Junid tells us. He says that there would have been as many as 5000 soldiers living in the castle (hard to imagine). It was operated as a prison until 1968 when the castle was turned into a military museum paying tribute to Albanian independence. Inside the stone walls, we find World War I and World War II Italian tanks and cannon (including a tiny Panzer with a Fiat engine) on display. Outside, there is a US fighter plane that they claim was a spy plane that was shot down (actually the plane had crashed landed near Tirana) and is shown off as a kind of trophy. From this perch, we gaze out to a spectacular view of the valley. Greece is very close by; indeed, until 1914, this area was part of Greece, but was assigned to Albania by the Council of Ambassadors (the Western European powers). There is still a large Greek minority near here – signs are in both Greek and Albanian, the TV is Greek, and there are Albanians in the area who only speak Greek. The castle is also the venue for the Balkan Festival, held every five years, a music and cultural festival involving some 30 countries. (Admission to the castle is 200 Leke, or about $2). Skendulate House A second attraction we visit, the Skendulate House, is spectacular in its own way because it provides a human connection to quite literally centuries of history. As luck would have it, we are escorted around the house by the 9th generation owner, the last to occupy

the house before it was taken over by the Communists and turned into an “enthnographic” museum (and after Communism fell, tried to block the owner from filing his claim of title, offering a pittance, the equivalent of a few hundred dollars, to maintain it as a national museum.) Before Communism, a feudal system prevailed and a handful of rich families owned the land. Then the Communist regime nationalized all the property and took over the house. Since the fall of Communism, in 1992, property ownership was restored, but there are still unresolved issues about who actually owns the land: The original feudal families? The workers who labored on the land. Until ownership is resolved, investment and development has simply ceased – as we travel around the country, we see numerous buildings
left unfinished – the owners purposely started building in order to establish their claim. This grand house of Skendulate dates from 1833 (according to one document I see; he says it dates from the 17th century, which could mean that his family owned the property from then). He is the 9th generation and the last to live in the house before it was nationalized by the Communist regime and turned into an ethnographic museum. You get an idea of what the conditions were like when this great house – which would have been one of the richest and most splendid in the region (though he says it wasn’t the richest or most splendid) – was built. Junid translates as he points out 10 openings to protect the house; there would have been 10 guards to control the courtyard; two
entrances (one for people and the other for animals). It has 64 windows, 44 doors, a cellar to preserve food for winter, a cistern to store water captured from the rain. He points out how the house was built with layers of natural chestnut wood, because it would be flexible. The house had a bunker “in case of war or barbarity” and was constructed with two cupolas – so that cannon fire would hang from the first cupola and not penetrate deeper. The house was built with a cellar for natural refrigeration (milk could be kept fresh for 3-4 days), they captured rainwater and had a water cistern that held 130 cubic meters of water so they could be pretty much self-sufficient for a period of time. The house was built for cooler rooms in summer and warmer rooms for winter with a wood fireplace. It

had six indoor bathrooms (the waste was pumped out) and 9 fireplaces (the more fireplaces, the greater the wealth). There would have been 20 people – 3-5 families - living in the house at one time. The house was constructed so that men and women were kept separate. In one room where men would gather, women could look down and count the men in order to know how much coffee and Rakia (a liquor) to prepare and serve, giving it to a male who would serve the rest. We visit the kitchens where children and women would eat first, then the men; and poke into the various bedrooms one by one (the grandmother’s room was the smallest). The family lived in the house until 1981, when the Communist regime See page D5

Some Old-Time Brooklyn Memories BY CLAIRE LYNCH Over the years I have spoken with many different Long Islanders about where they hail from, and so many times they come from Brooklyn, which just so happens to be the New York City borough of my birth. My mom told me that I was born at Carson Peck Memorial Hospital in Brooklyn at about 2 a.m. one July day many decades ago which always seems kind of laughable to me because neither my mom nor I are exactly “night” people. We’ve always tended to get up shortly after the sun rises and make a full day of it so this reversal of roles is funny but when Mother Nature is involved, anything can happen. Babies can arrive at any time. All of my parents were born in Flatbush and so were my parents. They married in 1942 and my dad was stationed at Camp Lee in Va. during World War II. After the war ended, my parents returned to Brooklyn, saved their money and bought a modest house that was close to their parents’ apartments and two blocks away from my Aunt Laura and Uncle Stephen’s house. Soon six children came along so my parents decided that they had outgrown the 3-bedroom, 1-bath house on E. 31 St. They moved the family east to Nassau County where most houses were larger, the back yards were greener and perfect for a bunch of kids to play in, and the schools had excellent reputations. So many people are what I call “one city transplants, people who have grown up urban and suburban,” and those of us who have experienced both worlds have had some different experiences and often have a different outlook on life. We left Flatbush for Rockville Centre when I was six so I was a city resi-
dent for a short time compared to my four older siblings and older cousins. I remember walking hand in hand from home to my public school a few blocks away with my dad and at other times, with my Grandpa Richie to kindergarten and the first grade. They would hold my hand tightly whenever we crossed a busy intersection but once safely inside the school I was free to roam around, free to play. Outside my home in Flatbush I rode my bicycle, a hand-me-down from my older sister, Michelle, and my mom always told me to stay on the sidewalk because of so many cars passing by. She was strict about that and I listened to her. Once I lived on Long Island I was told to be cautious when riding my bike but I felt freer in the great outdoors and was more interested in exploring the suburban world around me. I spoke with my friend, John, recently, who is several years older than I and in Brooklyn he remembers having to act slightly tough whenever he stepped outside his home so the bigger kids wouldn’t pick on him. He’d put on his black leather jacket in the fall and adopt a certain stance that he normally didn’t have but John added that once his family moved to Long Island, when he was 14, he didn’t have to put the swagger on anymore. My cousin, Donna, liked going shopping at the A&S department store on Fulton St. whenever she could - whenever she had the time to take the bus there and look around for the things she needed for whatever special family occasion was coming up. Christenings, First Holy Communions, weddings, etc. were good reasons for our large extended family to get together in Brooklyn and when I was six Donna was 20 so I remember
her getting dressed up, getting a good matching pocketbook to go with her outfit and doing her eye makeup just so. Donna’s sister, Peg, who is five years younger than Donna, eventually started heading to the department store for whatever she wanted to get and I remember admiring their sense of fashion at the time. Peg used to show me how to put on makeup so it looked flattering and not too over the top. She also showed me how to dress up an outfit with a belt, jewelry and other accessories so it maximized its look. Many Sundays my family would go to Aunt Laura and Uncle Stephen’s house for dinner – a carefully-cooked dinner that smelled delicious and was sure to whet everyone’s appetite – and afterwards, when the adults sat in the living room talking about politics, Johnny Carson and the current events of the day, Donna or Peg would crank up the radio in the dining room to an oldies station and we kids would dance to Jerry Lee Lewis’ “Great Balls of Fire,” to Elvis Presley’s “Hound Dog” and to “Shake, Rattle & Roll” by Joe Turner. We’d laugh and have a rockin’ good time in Brooklyn. My Grandma Katie’s baby grand piano sat in their living room in Brooklyn and the only person brave enough to play it was Donna who had taken piano lessons longer than she wanted to back in grammar school. Donna would sit straight up on the piano bench looking all serious, check the sheet music then play something heavy like Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy” while the adults applauded and we kids looked on admiringly – but we couldn’t wait to go back to dancing around to some rock ‘n roll. The adults would look over at us from the other room with these amused looks on their faces.
They knew we were happy. After we moved to Rockville Centre in 1961, I remember settling in and taking in all of the people and things around me. Landscaping was a big thing. Sure the borough of Brooklyn has its plants and foliage since “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn” after all, but at home in Rockville Centre I liked sitting under the big trees and looking up as high as I could. Then I’d measure the width of the tree trunks and try to figure out how old they were. I liked watching my mom and dad as they gardened. Mom tended her rose bushes and trained them to grow up a large white trellis in the back yard and in the front yard she always planted impatiens. Purple plants, red, orange and white impatiens decorated our yard and lit up our landscaping. They don’t grow tall but impatiens have a way of making a beautifully unique statement. Each fall on Long Island I’d look for the first signs of pyracantha, those orange-colored clusters of berries with their broadleaf evergreen that I always associate with the cooler weather and Halloween time and I knew that soon my friends and I would be making or picking out our Halloween costumes. Every spring I’d watch for the first forsythia bushes to bloom and add some cheerfulness to the landscape. My dad was fond of planting marigold seeds in the spring and watching for them to come up in the summer months around the large concrete patio we had just outside our back door. Their orange-colored flowers always added some liveliness to the ambiance of our back yard. Our neighbor had a huge clothes line in her back yard so a few times a See page D7

The So-Called ‘Notch’ Still Upsets the Very Old BY TOM MARGENAU
I recently got an email from a reader that made me think about my mom. She died about 15 years ago. And sadly, she went to her grave with a huge Social Security chip on her shoulder. Despite my constant reassurances to the contrary, she was convinced that the government was short-changing her -- cheating her out of Social Security benefits she felt she was due. For you see, she was one of the so-called “notch babies.” My mom, and millions of other seniors in her age group, had been misled -- by a rather sophisticated lobbying campaign -- into believing that they were getting smaller Social Security checks than anyone else. Frankly, most of the notch babies, like my mom, have long since passed away. But the email I mentioned came from a reader who reminds me that some of these folks are still alive and kicking, and they are still carrying a grudge! He wrote, “My mom, who is 95, was one of the notch babies. To say she is ticked off at the government is putting it mildly! Is there any chance Social Security will ever give back the money they stole from her?” For those readers who don’t have a clue what I am talking about, the “notch” refers to a time period when corrections were made to the Social Security benefit formula -- corrections that were necessary to ensure that all Social Security recipients were paid properly, but corrections that were misconstrued by many to be a way of cheating them out of benefits they felt they were due. Here’s the story. In 1972, Congress passed a law mandating automatic annual cost-of-living adjustments -- or COLAs -- to Social Security checks. Those COLAs were to be based on increases in the government’s official inflation measuring stick: the consumer price index. (Before 1972, COLAs were not automatic. They were sporadic and happened only if Congress specifically authorized a yearly increase.) As part of the new process, the Social Security Administration had to come up with a formula for calculating increases to people’s Social Security checks -- which they did. But after COLAs were paid for a couple of years, someone noticed the formula was wrong. Social Security beneficiaries were getting increases that were slightly higher than intended. Once the mistake was discovered and SSA notified Congress, several decisions had to be made. For one, they had to figure out what to do about all of the Social Security beneficiaries who received the overly generous COLA adjustments. Congress decided to let them keep the money. (It would have been political suicide to send “overpayment” letters to every senior citizen in the country demanding repayment of the incorrectly paid funds.)
The second choice Congress had to make was to decide where to draw the line -- to figure out which people would have their benefits figured using the proper COLA formula. And they drew that line at 1917. In other words, they said everyone born in 1917 and later would have his or her Social Security benefit figured using the corrected formula. Sounds simple enough, doesn’t it? But sometimes Congress can’t leave well enough alone. In this case, they bowed to pressure from senior citizen groups who demanded a transition period from the old (incorrect) formula to the new (proper) formula. After lots of haggling, they eventually decided that everyone born between 1917 and 1921 would have his or her benefit figured using a special formula. Thus: People born after 1921 had their benefits figured using the proper (and lower) COLA formula; people born before 1917 had their benefits figured using the incorrect (and higher) formula; and people born between 1917 and 1921 had their benefits figured with a special formula not quite as generous as the one used for the pre-1917 crowd but more generous than the one used for the post-1921 crowd. You’d think everyone would be happy, right? Well, what happened next was pretty bizarre. Social Security recipients born in 1917 and later started to complain that they weren’t getting quite as much as folks born 1916 and earlier. Someone should have splashed some cold water in their faces and said, “Stop your griping! You are being paid correctly. It’s the folks born before 1917 who are getting overly generous benefits.” Instead, mobs of angry senior citizens around the country started to form into groups demanding justice. Even Ann Landers got into the fray, labeling people born between 1917 and 1921 “notch babies.” They mistakenly thought they were singled out for lower benefit adjustments than everyone else. To repeat the facts: They were getting slightly lower benefits than people born 1916 and earlier, but they were getting higher benefits than everyone born from 1922 on. Then lobbying groups got into the mix and really muddied things. They sent letters to folks born in the so-called “notch years” telling them they were being cheated out of Social Security benefits and asking for donations to “fight this injustice.” And to help fill their coffers even more, the lobbyists craftily expanded the definition of those notch years to include everyone born through1926. Some inexplicably even pushed the notch cutoff into 1930s dates of birth! So senior citizens of all ages started sending in tens of millions of dollars -- money that paid for many overpriced lobbyists and some pretty nice office space on K Street in Washington,
D.C. -- but money that accomplished nothing else. After all, there really was no “injustice” to fight. Sadly, millions of seniors born between 1917 and 1926 or even later went to their graves bitter and disappointed -- including my own mother! Those still alive believe to this day that they are being cheated out of Social
Security benefits. Shame on all those folks who created this myth! And my sympathies go out to those people who bought into it. If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has the answer. Contact him at thomas.margenau@comcast.net. COPYRIGHT 2016 CREATORS.COM

C ontinued from page D3 turned it into an Ethnographic Museum The family got the house back in 1993 (as well as their landholdings), after a year of filing claims and the state trying to keep it as a museum. But it was unlivable (in fact, it would not be allowed to be opened to the public in the US in its condition), so he has continued showing it as a private, cultural museum. It is odd to sit in the grandest room, lined with banquettes. He says it is the room where weddings would be held – in fact, it was the very room where he was married.
there are several stunning buildings in the historic district in 19th century Italian style, like the hotel “Royal”, the former “Banco di Napoli”, the former shopping center Ziga, the High School (labeled the “gymnasium”), Villa “Kokalari” and Villa “Papavangjeli”. There’s also an intriguingly named Cold War Tunnel, which Junid dismisses and I don’t have time to discover on my own. We get a little time to shop (this is the only place we find where there are actually shops to buy crafts and such, and meet up at a delightful restaurant for dinner, where I watch as entire lambs are roasted on a spit.

Gold Coast Arts Center, Great Neck, Long Island, Exhibition Explores “Interiors”; Opening Reception Sept. 18 Great Neck, Long Island, NY -- “Interiors,” an art exhibition of painting, sculpture and photography by artists Laini Nemett, Orestes Gonzalez, and Maxi Cohen opens at the Gold Coast Arts Center on September 18, with a reception from 4-7 pm, and runs through November 20. Interiors is an exhibition that explores the artist’s relationship with familiar places and how they connect to interior landscapes of personal history, memory and association. The painter Laini Nemett comments that she wants the composite imagery to conjure memory but also to emulate an experience of place. Orestes Gonzalez’s photographs of interior spaces captures moments of loneliness, happiness and a time of innocence. Photographer/videographer, Maxi Cohen captures moments in the ladies room, “as a space of sanctuary and solitude”. As the exhibit’s title suggests, their work serves as portals to interior spaces that are in plain sight, not to be missed. Laini Nemett studied at The Hoffberger School of Painting at the Maryland Institute College of Art and has participated in solo and group exhibitions all over the world-including New York, Italy, China, Africa, and Spain. She has an intriguing technique of constructing three-dimensional models which she then depicts in largescale two-dimensional paintings. She has won multiple awards, including the Joan Mitchell Foundation Grant as well as a Fulbright Grant. She
currently teaches at Union College in Schenectady, NY. Orestes Gonzalez has been taking photographs for over 25 years. His photography style is not a literal representation, but rather symbolic in spirit. “To convey a feeling of loneliness, innocence, happiness or history is what moves me to take pictures” Gonzalez stated of his work. His portfolio includes landscapes, interior design, architecture, portraits, and more. Maxi Cohen is an award-winning artist and filmmaker based in New York City. Her films, photographs and multimedia installations have been exhibited internationally and are in the permanent collections of numerous museums, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Whitney Museum for American Art in New York, the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, and the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa. Cohen’s television work includes short films produced for Saturday Night Live, the Comedy Channel, MTV Networks, PBS, Children’s Television Workshop, and Fox Broadcasting. She has independently produced and directed shorts and feature-length documentaries, fiction and animation that have been broadcast on network, cable, public, and foreign television. The Gold Coast Arts Center is located at 113 Middle Neck Road (entrance from the Maple Avenue parking lot), 516-8292570, goldcoastarts.org.

Some Old-Time Brooklyn Memories C ontinued from page D3 week I’d watch as Mrs. Murphy hung the family’s sheets, shirts and jeans and waited for them to dry in the warm breezes and the hot sun. I never knew how long they would take to dry if it was a hot, humid summer’s day but if it was fall, the crisp air would dry them pretty quickly. Watching Mrs. Murphy hanging the clothes with the clothespins and then undoing them at the end always reminded me of watching our old next-door neighbor in Brooklyn, Mrs. Spence, who not only made a fuss over her laundry but over us, too. There were plenty of kids on my block on Long Island growing up in the 1960s and 1970s and all we had to do was step outside and we could get a game of baseball, dodgeball, touch football,
Spud or ring-a-levio going in no time at all. Michelle usually took charge and told everyone where to stand and what to do and we’d get a good game going. On rainy days, eight or nine of us took turns playing ping pong in our finished basement and enjoyed some snacks that mom brought downstairs. Sometimes my friend, Nicole, would complain that she was bored with nothing to do on some of those long summer days when the weather wasn’t cooperating, but I’d look at her like she was crazy because with so many kids around, there was always something we could do. We were experts at inventing fun things because our time was our own and we wanted to enjoy every minute of it. On February 9, 1964, Michelle spread the word among the kids that The Beatles were going to be appearing for the first time on the Ed Sullivan
Show and sure enough, after dinner several kids came over and with my family members we all watched as the Mopheads sang and played their hearts out. They started off with “All My Loving,” then sang “Till There Was You,” and ended up with “I Saw Her Standing There” and “I Want to Hold Your Hand.” The in-studio audience went wild and people watching from home loved The Beatles just as much. Their slow songs were good, their fast songs were great, Paul McCartney was dreamy looking and we liked this new rock ‘n roll group. I remember it was on a Sunday night so we all had time to relax and just watch the show, watch these newly-introduced singers to America. When we went back to Brooklyn to visit our relatives I remember going seamlessly between Long Island and
Brooklyn because we were essentially at home in both worlds. We knew the Brooklyn of our youth and we had come to love the people and the place that was Long Island. As an urban resident and as a suburban resident I’ve had the best of both worlds. I’ve felt the thrill of living in New York City and had the chance to see many of its landmarks up close. I may be “one city transplant,” someone plucked from my first-grade class in Brooklyn at six and moved to a new school in Rockville Centre but I quickly adjusted, made new friends and got to enjoy not only more space but the fresh air and outdoors of Long Island. On lazy summer days I got to kick back, relax and spend afternoons at the pool or at the beach with my family and friends. What could be better than that?

GCAA will be hosting tryouts for Travel Basketball during the week of Monday, September 26th. The teams will play in the highly competitive Island Garden Super League. In order to be eligible for tryouts, all players must pre-register for the tryout via email with the applicable contact listed below, and bring a check for $415 payable to “GCAA” to the try out (along with a completed travel basketball application which can be downloaded from the gc-aa.com website.) Please note there is an additional charge of $50 for all players that require a new uniform (ALL 3rd, 5th, and 6th Grade players will need new style uniforms this year.) The Island Garden Super League season includes an 18 game schedule (plus playoffs) starting in mid-November 2016 and running thru March 2017. Travel Teams will also practice 1-2 times per week. Please note that the travel program is not an introductory program as our teams will play against the best basketball teams in our region. GCAA Travel does it’s best to work around Middle School/CYO conflicts during the basketball season and ensures that there are no scheduling conflicts between travel/intramural games. GCAA aims to create two or three teams per grade subject to adequate demand and available coaching. For girls in 4th - 8th grades, we will consider starting the travel season in January 2017 in order to avoid CYO conflicts if there is an interest in doing so. The $415 Travel fee (note our registration fee has increased $15 due to village imposed court usage fees) due at the time of tryouts includes participation in the GCAA intramural program. Boys 6th grade and under and Girls 5th grade and under are required to play intramurals if they make a travel team. Boys 7th grade and older and Girls 6th grade and older are strongly encouraged to participate in the intramural program although there is no
requirement to do so, even if they make a travel team. Please pre-register for travel tryouts with the contacts listed below (make sure to note age/grade/birth date of the player when you send the email): 3rd/4th/5th Grade Boys - George Liberopoulos (gliberopoulos@yahoo. com) 6th/7th/8th Grade Boys - Mike DeLuca (mdeluca42@gmail.com) 4th/5th/6th/7th/8th Grade Girls Jeff Lawlor (jefflawlor@optonline.net) The dates and times of the tryouts are as follows (but you must pre-register with the contacts above beforehand): 3rd Grade Boys - Wednesday, September 28th from 6:00 - 7:30 PM at St Paul’s 4th Grade Boys - Tuesday, September 27th from 6:00 - 7:30 PM at St Paul’s 5th Grade Boys - Monday, September 26th from 6:00 - 7:30 PM at St Paul’s 6th Grade Boys - Monday, September 26th from 7:30 - 9:00 PM at St Paul’s 7th Grade Boys - Wednesday, September 28th from 7:30 - 9:00 PM at St Paul’s 8th Grade Boys - Tuesday, September 27th from 7:30 - 9:00 PM at St Paul’s 4th Grade Girls - Thursday, September 29th from 6:00 - 7:30 PM at St Paul’s 5th Grade Girls - Thursday, September 29th from 6:00 - 7:30 PM at St Paul’s 6th Grade Girls - Thursday, September 29th from 6:00 - 7:30 PM at St Paul’s 7th Grade Girls - Thursday, September 29th from 7:30 - 9:00 PM at St Paul’s 8th Grade Girls - Thursday, September 29th from 7:30 - 9:00 PM at St Paul’s Also if anyone is interested in coaching a travel basketball team or has a question about the GCAA Travel Basketball program please contact Mike DeLuca (mdeluca42@gmail.com) or George Liberopoulos (gliberopoulos@ yahoo.com)

Adelphi Jagger Fellows pursue careers
From page 1 achievements and milestones of the summer 2016 round of internships. Thomas Ward Jr. is the executive director of Adelphi’s Center for Career and Professional Development. He said lessons that student-fellows learned over the summer, through pathways they explored, “critical missions being served” and “relationships cultivated” were the latest piece in Adelphi’s greater mission to transform the lives of students and advance the region through deep community engagement. Hardeep Kaur of Brompton Road in Garden City spent her summer with Northwell Health and its Institution for Nursing, exploring all facets in her chosen career field. Kaur graduates from Adelphi this December. She plans to be a nurse, but up until this summer she was indecisive about what type of nursing to go into. “Through the internship I got exposure to a lot of opportunities and a lot of different areas of nursing. I went to an emergency helipad; there is a field of flight nursing that was really cool to learn about. I also went to the EICU (electronic ICU) and nurses monitor ICU patients behind computers, like a second eye – it’s technology I never knew about which is really crucial. Classroom teaching is mostly related to bedside nursing. Through this internship I realized that nursing has so much more that you can do than that. I had the privilege to visit a lot of different
units – med-surgery, helipad, labor and delivery, surgical ICU, cardio-thorasic ICU. I realized what my strengths and weaknesses are and where my passion lies. I want to start off doing med-surge first and then choose a specialty,” Kaur said. From her observations med-surge requires a strong heart and intense caring. A bit of shock came to her when a patient in the surgical ICU passed away during her shift, and it was the first time she saw death up close. That gave her a realization of what she can excel at and also what she’d have a hard time handling regularly. Kaur says all her classmates in the nursing program, especially those who have seen her presentation from this summer, have approached her to ask about taking a similar internship with Northwell Health. “I’m so glad that I did it and they are asking me ‘how do I get involved.’ It’s a lot about giving back and educating other nursing students like freshmen and sophomores coming in. I tell them to apply to it because they’re going to learn a lot,” Kaur said. Kendall Garrett grew up in Rosedale, Queens and is majoring in biology. She hopes to enter medical school when she finishes her bachelor’s at Adelphi next May. Her summer internship was spent at Northwell Health and Lions Eye Bank for Long Island in Great Neck. Working with the donated organ and tissue upon a person’s death gave her a different viewpoint and experience
within the medical field, one that she never considered before. “I knew I was going to be in a hospital setting and my goal was to learn the etiquette of the hospital workspace. I’ve worked in offices before and worked with kids, but the hospital is just different. I learned about the different positions within tissue and organ banking as a field. Also working with data and information was very interesting – all the different things that I did not know I would learn there,” Garrett explains. To follow up on the summer experience Garrett found out about becoming an eye bank technician with six months of training. “If I wanted to do that it’s an opportunity for me and I have my foot in the door already and they would remember my face. I think especially in the medical field, having prior experience is very important. Even if I attend medical school I would love to work there for a while to get more clinical experience,” she said. Moreover, Garrett wants to try out a few more areas in the medical field before graduating. “There’s being a doctor and there’s nursing but people don’t talk a lot about the in between. I would like to learn about other things,” she says.
Transitioning military personnel
MBA student and Armed Forces veteran Timothy Shauvo interned at Northwell Health, but he focused on an endeavor in line with his own path at Adelphi. The former Marine Corps small firearms repair technician worked on a program to help transitioning military personnel find and explore employment opportunities in the healthcare field. He says he stumbled across the Jaggar Community Fellows Program one day on campus and spoke with the Center for Career Development. That initiative – with pursuing higher education after the military, finishing his undergraduate program and entering the Willumstad School of Business have
Emily Elefonte (Adelphi Class of 2017) an English major and summer intern at the Women’s Fund of Long Island signified a perfect “transition” for him taking place at Adelphi. “Some of the challenges that veterans face when they apply for positions with firms are translating their military skills in terms civilians and businesspeople can understand, as well as resumes and interview skills. As a result of these challenges some veterans feel at a loss – they feel the skills and experience they acquired while in the military are not easily transferable into the civilian workforce. That simply isn’t true. Prior to their break from service a lot of veterans already receive a significant amount of training before they transition out of the service. However I believe that when they do transition they should receive more thorough training -- most important is resume writing as that is the only real tool you have to market your skills, and to showcase how you are really qualified for a position,” Shauvo said during his August 17 Jaggar Fellows presentation. Shauvo says his mindset going in See page 55

Adelphi Jagger Fellows pursue careers
From page 54 before the Community Fellows program started was, as members of his cohort Kaur and Garrett both attest to, “experience and exposure.” All three noted that cultural and social norms of their environment (different facets of Northwell Health) expanded their views beyond college. In an interview after he presented, Shauvo looked at his process and personal growth. “I come from a military background where business is conducted, and in the Marines I was involved in logistics and facilitating plans. With that approach, I looked into the Community Fellows program and researched it online, then I attended one of their information sessions. After that I came prepared with my resume and I genuinely wanted to do this over the summer – they admitted me into the Jaggar program although it’s very competitive with the number of undergraduate and graduate students applying,” Shauvo recounted. He credits his mentor/ supervisor Antonio Silvera with coaching and encouragement over the two- month-long internship and “keeping me on path.” Shauvo’s experiences this summer and within a few years at the Garden City campus have more than filled a void, they’ve steered him to a better future. “I had intentions of going to work right when I came out of the service. But I ended up going to school as there’s always a Plan A, B, C, or D. The goal now and going forward is to expand my leadership role, and hopefully being a voice for veterans,” he explained. Jonathan Ivanoff, Adelphi’s associate director for internships at the CCPD, commented for the News on the broad range of summer experiences showcased by students on August 17. “On the one hand a lot of the employers participating don’t know what to expect because they have students coming as regular interns and making coffee or other mundane tasks. But the average GPA of every Jaggar Fellows class we have had over the last couple of years has been 3.6 – so the employers are getting somebody not just capable of mak-

ing coffee but they get interns capable of doing entire marketing plans, HR training modules and measuring groundwater contamination and presenting results of a scientific survey to the Town Board. The students are doing things, we are told, that would not normally be done by people that are hired full-time. They step in the office and know what needs to be done. The program’s reputation for providing a high quality level of intern keeps rising. We keep trying to match that and find the employers great talent,” he said. Every year Adelphi has 150 students compete for half that number of premier slots (70-75) in the Jaggar program. Elimination filters including a high GPA and a one-credit internship preparation seminar, taught by Ivanoff, has ensured job skills as part of the incentive for the employer. In 2010 the inaugural Jaggar Community Fellows Program included 18 students working at 16 nonprofits. At the August 17 event, Ward said this year’s class of fellows included 70 students interning at 40 nonprofits. He credited the support from all partners -- donors to the Jaggar program, the nonprofit employers, students, Adelphi University’s executive leadership, and deans, faculty, alumni and family members. The network and profile of the Jaggar Fellows program has expanded just as Adelphi University has in the past several years. Ivanoff commented that the university used to make calls to large corporations and the like to find places for students to participate in internships, and employers would ask “where is Adelphi?” He says the shift has taken the university and its student body into the drivers’ seat, as companies call and say they want to host interns from Adelphi. “That’s exciting when people start recognizing the brand and what comes with the brand. The students put internships down on their resumes that looks very substantive,” said Ivanoff. For students like Haddad, Shauvo, Kaur, Garrett and others, experience and exposure started with the Garden City campus and has multiplied as they’ve progressed.
