In this issue- Bigger Years Ahead: GIA Needs Your Support- Facelift for Seawall- Summer of 2012- G.I.A. Inc.- The Island on YouTube

G.I.A. Inc. The Governors Island Alliance has laid plans to become an independent organization, wholly separate from the Regional Plan Association, which created it and has nurtured it from the beginning.

Technically, the Alliance has been a corporation since 2002, when it launched a flotilla in the harbor to draw attention to the Island, and needed corporate status for insurance coverage against possible mishaps. (There were none.)

This creation of the original three incorporators – Albert Butzel, John Doswell and Rob Pirani – has now been reinvented with a newly reconstituted board of directors, new officers and a plan to break away from the R.P.A. Meanwhile, the two organizations continue to work together, R.P.A. in key roles as the Alliance's fiscal agent and provider of staff support, not least the services of Rob Pirani as executive director.

Donna Milrod of Deutsche Bank, will still chair the Alliance's board. There will be an executive committee and an advisory committee that includes representatives of like minded non-profits, such as New Yorkers for Parks, as well as Island partners FIGMENT and the New York Harbor School. Board members will have three-year terms, staggered so that the terms of roughly one-third will expire every year. High on the to-do list is an application to the Internal Revenue Service for 501(c)3 status, to allow fund-raising as a non-profit. Click h er e for a list of all 27 board members.

Big Years Ahead: GIA Needs Your Help

GIA Opens the Season with our Annual Family Festival

While the Island lies quiet for the winter, big changes are afoot. Phase I of the Park and Public Space Master Plan and critical infrastructure improvements GIA has long advocated are about to become a reality with a groundbreaking next spring. GIA has been critical in moving these plans forward, with advocacy and building a constituency for the Island. But it is your support that makes our work possible. Generous contributions from people like you have enabled us to be a voice for the Island. It has been a great year, but there are better years ahead. It's up to us to make it happen. Historic buildings need on-going stabilization and long-term tenants. The public programs that draw hundreds of thousands to the Island must be subsidized. In hard economic times, funding for parks and historic preservation are often first to be cut. Competition for support is fierce. It is more important than ever that we maintain the momentum that has made Governors Island into a new favorite playground for New York City, and to ensure its boundless potential.

All 2.2 miles of seawall with be rehabbed or replaced

The section of the Island's seawall that takes the most pounding from the often stormy waters of New York harbor was originally a retaining wall, built as a boundary for the Lexington Avenue tunnel debris landfill that doubled the size of the Island. Now rounding out its first century, it's about to get a economically and ecologically minded facelift.

Rehabilitation of the entire seawall, all 2.2 miles of it, is an essential element of the two-year phase of capital improvements that begin in the Spring – developing the park area, bringing in potable water, stabilizing historic houses and more.

Most of the wall needs repointing at least, and some of it needs replacement. There are also dozens of redundant "outfall" holes to be filled. These are holes in the seawall that drain accumulated water, mostly rain, into the harbor. They also cause problems in reverse, letting harbor water flow in, which is why they're going to be filled.

And then there's the 'facelift' installation of riprap along the western edge of the Island south of Division Road and the historic district, and all the way down and around the southern curve. Riprap means rocks, lots of them. Their function is to break the force of incoming waves, rather than letting each new wave score a direct hit. Also, riprap costs less than building a wall.

Lest anyone be tempted to climb out on the rocks, forget it. The guard rail that girds the full length of the Island's perimeter will be there to deter adventurers. Wave action generated by a long stretch of open water makes this western edge particularly unsafe.

But the wide surface area provided by the jumbled rocks, and crevices in-between, make it ideal for all sorts of harbor creatures, from algae to mollusks to the fish they attract. The Harbor School has expressed interest in seeding the riprap with oysters and other marine species. The school already maintains a small oyster breeding project near the National Monument dock on Buttermilk Channel. Of course the whole project, including the restoration, is subject to state and federal approval.

Design for the complete seawall project is not yet final, and the official R.F.P. – the request for proposals by prospective contractors – will be issued in the spring. The 2012 Summer Will be DifferentThere will be something different at every turn next summer – some closings, some new openings. It all relates to the improvements that are going to transform the Island from "special" to "spectacular."

In short, the Island will be a construction site, beginning in Spring. To maximize the time available to get trees planted, buildings razed, waterpipe laid and all the rest, the work week will expand to five days.This means it will be closed to the public on Fridays.

But… It will be open Saturday nights for the first time, in June at least, and maybe longer. As usual, it will also be open Saturdays, Sundays and holiday Mondays, starting on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend, May 26.

The terrace of Liggett Hall will be off-limits while it is converted to a garden landscape entrance for the park. Not to worry, FIGMENT's mini-golf course will have a new home – at the end of the parade grounds, over by the old South Battery fort-cum-officer's club. The Liggett food station will move there, too. There will be another food area at Picnic Point, the relaxing acres that face on the Statue of Liberty.

Note to Prince Harry: No polo next year. No big concerts either. The south Island fields will be closed. The officers' houses on Nolan Park and Colonels Row will be closed, too, for rehabbing, but their outdoor spaces remain open. The rest of the Island will also be open, with various spaces closed at different times depending on construction schedules.

Very moving, thanks for sharing. My daughter was here for 4 days (from Afghanistan) just got back from taking her to the airport. She's not a soldier but she lives and works with them.

That reminds me, we never got the "I love NYC" t-shirts from you. LOL. Anyway, put me down for 1 of the shirts you are selling. I am currently wearing like a 2X and if I end up going to the next reunion, I am hoping that will be way too big, but I will gladly wear it anyway.

Love ya Pookie.

> Many ’65-’69 “brats” are joining in the fun on the “Meet & Greet” evening harbor cruise onboard the Spirit Cruise's Spirit of New York. The cocktail cruise is scheduled for Friday, 3 Aug 12, 6:30-8:30 PM. Boarding time: 6:00 PM. Dan Warchol, the Corporate Account Manager, has said it is acceptable to send a personal check for anyone concerned with sharing their credit card information by email or facsimile. Mail your check to Spirit Cruises, ATTN: Dan Warchol, Chelsea Piers, Pier 62, West 23d Street, Suite 200, New York, NY 10011. If mailing a check, remember to annotate "Governor's Island Coast Guard Brats" in the For/Rmks portion of your check. Price for this event is $61 per person, all inclusive except for server gratuities. For your eating pleasure, there will a garden-fresh salad station of mixed greens, ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, dried cranberries, garbanzo beans, sunflower seeds, shredded cheese, croutons and bacon, served with balsamic vinaigrette and ranch dressings; a Pasta Bar served with choice of marinara or alfredo sauces, vegetables and meatballs; individual pan pizza, chili lime wings, pigs in a blanket, rolls and assorted cookies. Cocktail-wise, there are absolutely no limitations on the kind of alcohol or drinks (including beer and wine) you may order. This cruise comes with a Premium Open Bar, so if you can think it up, the bar staff will make it!

> I’m preparing name tags for the older ’65-’69 “brats” to recognize other “plank owners”. The name tag will identify the person’s NAME (include maiden name if married), years on Gov Island, and year of graduation from high school with high school name. Including the year the person graduated from high school allows folks to mentally do the math and figure out how old someone is after looking at a name tag. Knowing that ladies do not generally like to give out their age, this is a more politically correct way of finding out what timeframe/age group that a “brat” falls into. So, if my name tag stated I was a ‘67 Curtis High graduate and Mark Whiting had a name tag stating he was a Brooklyn Academy ‘69 graduate I would then know he was 2 years younger than me. For “brats” bringing their spouse/guest that did not reside on Gov Island, I will have name tags with names only. If interested, send me your info for name tags.

In addition to oral histories provided by the National Park Service, and visiting island sites that are open to the public, we will have memorial service for our departed friends and family members at the bell buoy in front of the old Catholic Chapel (time to be determined).

> Depending upon your arrival/departure, there is plenty of time Friday morning/afternoon, Saturday evening, and all day Sunday to enjoy sight-seeing in New York City. For those who have not had the opportunity to visit Ground Zero, we are planning to rally together on Friday at 1:00 PM (location to be determined). The World Trade Center was a popular tourist attraction before the tragedy of September 11th, but has become an increasingly important destination for visitors to New York City who want to pay tribute to those lost in the events of 9/11 and better understand the events of that fateful day. Other familiar haunts include – the Empire State Building, Times Square, Central Park, Greenwich Village or a Staten Island ferry ride (wonderful memories & a pleasant ride) over to Staten Island and quick walk to Curtis High. I expect that many of us will want to go to different locations so perhaps we can establish a rally point to meet, have a few drinks and continue our sight-seeing. Having a general location to hang-out (hospitality room) would be nice!

It's been three months since you posted this, with no follow-up.  What gives?

In what "really nice bar" will this meet & greet take place?  Have you reserved
space there for the group?  How much does it cost?

I haven't seen the T-shirts you said were going fast.  I would like to buy one,
but I'd like to see them first, can you post pix?

Where is everyone staying?  Is there a group rate at the hotel?  Under what
name?

What are the kids' activities?

Help, please!  I'd like to make arrangements before th hotels are all full....

GOVERNORS ISLAND BRATS2 UPDATE":

     I've found out more info on Hotels. It seems mostly everybody is booking
their stay at "The Wall Street Inn". Located at 9 South William Street. It's
between Beaver St. & Broad St. 10 minute walk to GI ferry. They are offering a
rate of $179 + Tax for the weekend of Aug 3rd, 4th & 5th. Monday - Thursday a
rate of $249 + Tax. You must call 212-747-1500 tell them you want to book your
room under GI Reunion. This is the discounted rate they are giving us. You can
have 1 King size bed or 2 twins in your room.

     In case you don't want to stay at The Wall St Inn, here are some other
