ended, attendee Bella Miller revealed that she was the model on the cover of Ms. Calonita’s book “Belles.” The 16-year-old model is from Chicago but was in New York for a modeling job. Posing for the cover of “Belles” was her first modeling job. Bella said of Ms. Calonita, “I’ve always wanted to meet her.” Besides being on the cover, Bella is a big fan of the book “Belles” and said, “I love it. I felt like I had a lot in common with it. I couldn’t stop reading it.” Danielle Santevecchi, 13, of Merrick, who attends Kellenberg Memorial High School, won Kieran Scott’s book “This is So Not Happening” in the raffle. She attended the Beach Bag Book
Club because “I like seeing all the authors” and said it’s interesting to hear how they come up with ideas for their books. Emily Cotter, 12, from Bellmore, who attends Grand Avenue Middle School, told this newspaper that she attended the Beach Bag Book Club last year, last month and this time “so I could meet the authors.” She had read “Belles” and said it was “really good.” She won Melissa Kantor’s book “The Darlings in Love” in the raffle and said she’s “excited to read it.” Emily reads a lot “because I like to write stories” and hopes to become a better writer by reading. ©©©

The second Beach Bag Book Club of the summer, held last week at the Merrick Library, featured author Kieran Scott. The other scheduled Long Island author, Melissa Kantor, didn’t attend due to an emergency. Kieran Scott is a veteran author of teen fiction books. Her most recent book is “This is So Not Happening” of the “He’s So/She’s So” trilogy. The teen romance trilogy, which includes the books “She’s So Dead To Us” and “He’s So Not Worth It,” follows an unusual couple through the crazy time that high school can be. Ms. Scott describes the couple as “a boy from the rich side of town and a girl from the poor side of town.”
The drama continues in the third and final book of the series “This is So Not Happening” when the characters are forced to deal with a teen pregnancy and relationship stress. Ms. Scott said of the controversial teen pregnancy topic, “I wanted it to be realistic.” Having attended in 2010, this is Ms. Scott’s second appearance at the Beach Bag Book Club. She said of host Jen Calonita, “Jen does a great job” at getting a large crowd to attend the Beach Bag Book Club. Ms. Scott said that “teenagers can be spotty with attendance” to book discussion events, but every year the Merrick Library has a full and eager crowd. More than 20 teens were in attendance. She said that she writes for teens because “there’s so much to explore, so much to write about” during that time in life and everything seems so much bigger and more dramatic as a teenager. Growing up in New Jersey, Ms. Scott said, “I loved to read when I was a teenager” and “I write what I would’ve liked to have read back then.” Ms. Scott also publishes under the pseudonym Kate Brian, from which she’s published the “Private” series and many other books. She said that she enjoys having two names, but joked, “I feel like Kate Brian is way cooler than me.” The mystery “Shadow Lands” is her next Kate Brian book that comes out in January. Altogether, Ms. Scott said she has published over 100 books during her entire writing career. Ms. Calonita and Ms. Scott discussed book covers during the panel. They talked about what sells as a book cover and the struggle between both the authors’ and the publishing companies’ visions. Ironically, after the book cover panel 1287MA2706CF

Curé of Ars Parish BBQ is a big blast
FATHER CHARLES MANGANO, the pastor of Curé of Ars Church, greeted the parishioners and their families as everyone enjoyed the festivities.
SMCCA begins clean-up weeds on curbs around the park, it is not allowed to use weed killer because it is a protected area. He said they will need to find another way to keep it clean. Another problem SMCCA noticed is that cars are allowed to park at the pond late at night. As a result, Mr. Baker said that the people in the cars, usually teenagers, throw their garbage out the window and make the park even filthier. To this problem, Mr. Camerlengo mentioned that people should not even be at the park because it closes after dark. Geese at Cammann’s Pond are also considered problematic because residents often step in waste from the birds. Because the geese are protected under law, one SMCCA member recommended that people stop feeding the geese, which may decrease their population. Of the Friends of Cammann’s Pond Park committee, Mr. Camerlengo said that it will be of great assistance to the county. – Leah Sobel

At last Tuesday’s South Merrick Community Civic Association meeting, the Friends of Cammann’s Pond Park committee was formed to help with the upkeep of the local site. Joe Baker, president of SMCCA, explained that although the pond has been cleaned three times within the past year, it is not enough. “The routine cleaning is picking up trash around the park,” said Mr. Baker, “not actually cleaning the pond.” Because of this, Cammann’s Pond is often dirty and unpleasant, he said. In April, the Boy Scouts organized a “Spring Clean Sweep,” where they went on a canoe in the pond and picked up things such as bikes and shopping carts. Actions like this help keep the wild life of Cammann’s pond intact, said Mr. Baker. Frank Camerlengo, the deputy commissioner of Nassau County parks, said he would help SMCCA by discussing with the county what it can and cannot do to the pond. For example, although it is the county’s responsibility to take care of the

The community newspaper - the glue that helps hold a community together, and the spur that helps keep it moving forward
An ounce of prevention... Next Tuesday is National Night Out, when communities across the country gather for fun and to get to know their law enforcement friends better. Around here, the Nassau County and Freeport police, together with other community organizations, are hosting a Night Out at Cow Meadow Park in Freeport, starting at 6 p.m. Gangs and teen violence can be prevented. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Police and their communities always need to know and work with each other. As they say, “If you see something, say something.” And one way is for police to visit classrooms and become known and trusted friends of the kids. Another is to organize sports events for kids and teens to help them use their energy in positive ways and learn teamwork skills that will serve them in whatever jobs they choose. Where young people have hope of a good future, the lure of crime is less strong. Our police are doing these things and more to help build the character of law-abiding citizens. Neighborhood watch groups could always benefit from more young members, just like the auxiliary police and junior firefighters. And these young members can develop skills that could help with their future careers. For example, more than one young ambulance volunteer has become a medical doctor. National Night Out highlights the importance of community policing, work that goes on every day of the year.

by Douglas Finlay What began as a “police action” in Korea a scant five years after WWII finally received its own memorial on Saturday as a Korean War monument was unveiled at Bellmore’s Veterans Memorial Park on Bedford Avenue. The memorial joins WWI, WWII and Vietnam War memorials at the veterans park near the Bellmore train station. “We’re very pleased to finally be remembered,” remarked Howard Plattner, commander of the Korean War Veterans Nassau County Chapter 1. “It’s about time, after all,” added Korean War veteran Dick Doster of Wantagh. Bernie Hoffman of Merrick, former commander of the Merrick Post 1282 of the American Legion, told this newspaper that Pat Yngstrom, Commander of the American Legion Post 1746 in North Bellmore, told him that Korean War vets weren’t being represented by a memorial in their honor at the Veterans Memorial Park on Bedford Avenue. “I spoke to Howard [Commander Plattner] and he talked with Senator Fuschillo,” said Mr. Hoffmann.

Mario Dell’Aera of Levittown reminded Merrick Life that “Nobody knew it was a war” back then. It was called a police action initiated by the United Nations soon after the end of World War II. North Korean troops entered into South Korea and the U.S. went to its aid, via the U.N. When soldiers came home from the conflict – it was called a conflict, not a war – there was nothing made of their heroism, said Gene Marshsteiner of Levittown. Over 54,000 soldiers died in the conflict in just three years. There have also been 131 recipients of the Medal of Honor for bravery during the conflict.“We appreciate their remembrance of us today with the memorial,” he said. It wasn’t until June 27, 2005, that Senate bill S.1512 granted a federal charter to the Korean War Veterans Association that met the requirements for a veterans service organization. The bill allowed veterans to get benefits for injuries sustained during the Korean conflict, even though Congress never declared it an official war and the conflict only ended by a cease fire declaration. The Korean War spawned household names such as “Pork Chop Hill,” “Incheon” and “M.A.S.H,” one of the
most popular television programs. The comedy program portrayed an Army hospital attending to wounded troops in South Korea. When the difference between soldiers now fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq and those who fought in the Korean conflict was asked about, Commander Plattner said that soldiers today don’t actually know who the enemy really is. “We knew the name of the people we were fighting,” he said. “We were fight-
ing the Communists.” He added that soldiers today are often sent for second and third tours of duty, creating further stress on them. State Senator Charles J. Fuschillo Jr. spurred installation of the stone memorializing those who died in the Korean conflict. “This is older grant money that was available for this type of this dedication,” said the senator. – With additional reporting by Janurie Ulett, a Merrick Life intern.
FINALLY GETTIN’ SOME RESPECT: Several members of the Korean War Veterans of Nassau County, Chapter 1, from neighboring communities gather around a new memorial stone at Bellmore’s Veterans Memorial Park with state Senator Charles J. Fuschillo Jr., which is dedicated to those who died in the Korean conflict. The stone now stands among memorials for WWI, WWII and Vietnam War veterans. Merrick Life photo by Douglas Finlay

we finally made it to the island of Anguilla, a place with gorgeous coral reefs for fish and divers to swim. We spent all day in the ocean, but once we saw a barracuda skimming the water, I was done snorkeling, and spent the rest of the day soaking up the sun. If there is one thing to know about the Caribbean, it is that all the beaches are visually exciting. On the Fourth of July, we planned a trip to Saba, a potentially active volcano with four small towns and seven different ecosystems. To get to this small island, we had to take a propeller plane that seated only 18 people. Because the Saba airport has the shortest runway in the world, the plane must make a very short and sudden stop as it lands. The ride was only 12 minutes long, but it felt seemingly endless as I closed my

What is one solution to escape a Long Island heat wave? Go somewhere that is even hotter! That is what I did when my family and I went on a trip to St. Martin, a small island in the northeast Caribbean that is split into French and Dutch districts. While in this scenic destination, I stayed in a villa atop a hill overlooking the vast cerulean waters of the Caribbean. On the first of seven days in St. Martin,
I went to a small island just a ferry ride away from the villa called Pinel Island. There, we laid on the white sand and swam with playful fish in a clear ocean. As an active group, we hiked across the island to search for more deserted beach. What we found was not quite a beautiful shore, but a magnificent view of huge waves slamming against massive rocks. On the third day, we climbed aboard the sailboat Scoobi Free for snorkeling and beach hopping. Although the waters were rough and our faces were green,

birthday parties. Recently, because of high demand, the taxi started a service to pick up people from Long Beach and take them to Freeport. Mr. Cohen hopes to keep the taxi running until October and open in March for seal watching. Takashe Carroll and Tiffany Burke from Brooklyn, took a spontaneous drive out to Freeport and rode the water taxi on the hour daytime cruise. Ms. Burke said, “I enjoyed it, it was relaxing.� Ms. Carroll added, “It was calming after a long day of work.� They both mentioned they would do it again. This family-oriented boat service is the new way to travel around the bay. As a man from the corporate world, Mr. Cohen explained that he is going to be “retiring to� his boat instead of “retiring from� his corporate job.
Hall of Fame Recipient
Designed on a platform of safety first, the Freeport Water Taxi is the latest way for people to not only see the beauty of the bays, but have the chance to experience a different kind of local transportation. Rick Cohen is the owner and one of four captains of the boat My Bonni V. Named after his wife, the 44-foot catamaran is Freeport’s new water taxi and tour service. The boat sails passengers to and from Freeport’s Nautical Mile and Point Lookout, and runs one-hour daytime and sunset cruises. With a maximum capacity of 28 people, the boat provides an ample amount of room to sit and view the breathtaking scenery. The taxi also has a designated “splash zone,� where you can get wet— boat traffic and large waves permitting. While life jackets line the ceiling, you probably won’t need them since Captain Rick takes you at a relaxing five miles per hour. Mr. Cohen and his daughter Emily, 23, purchased the boat in March and started the service on Mother’s Day. Since then, the taxi has been wildly successful and is booked solid on many nights. “Right now the one-hour tours are more popular, but the taxi service is slowly catching up� in popularity, said Mr. Cohen. Mr. Cohen, an Oceanside resident, chartered a fishing boat for eight years, and his family spent a lot of time in boats. “I’ve been on the water my whole life,� said Emily, who is also the deck manager and crew. The Freeport Water Taxi is an innovative attempt to help eliminate the need to drive after drinking. Customers can call the water taxi to make the trip between Point Lookout and Freeport. The water taxi is “based on a no drinking and driving platform,� said Mr. Cohen. “My other boat is down the canal and every Sunday I would see an endless parade of cars that represent a drinking and driving incident.� The taxi’s main purpose is to allow people to have fun and get to their destination in a sensible and safe way, he explained. The Freeport Water Taxi has quickly become known for its sunset cruises, which are generally booked. The trip, which starts at 7:30 p.m. every day, begins in Freeport and travels along the bay, giving passengers beautiful views of the ever-changing colorful sky from all sides of the boat. On Wednesdays, Rachel’s Waterside Grill partners with the taxi and conducts a sunset wine and cheese cruise. The hour-and-a-half cruise, for $29.95 per person, includes wine, cheese and fruit platters, a dessert buffet and coffee. On Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday, the taxi runs from 3-10 p.m., while on Friday and Saturday people can board the boat from 3-11:30 p.m. Prices range from $7-$25 and the trip is free for children under three years old. The Freeport Water Taxi has privileges behind most of the restaurants on the Mile. They are able to dock and conveniently chauffeur customers to and from these restaurants, which includes The Schooner, Rachel’s Waterside Grill, Bracco’s, Tropix, E.B. Elliot’s and more. Additionally, private charters are available Mondays and Tuesdays. Since the Freeport Water Taxi and Tours has been on the water, it has offered specials for the Memorial Day air show, the June Point Lookout fireworks show and for events such as

from page 10 (whose ancestors were pirates) to the start of the Sandy Creek trail. There, we traveled through the rainforest for four hours, a place that looked like the movie set directly out of “Jurassic Park.” Although it was humid and inclement, we had a lot of fun and I would absolutely recommend this oncein-a-lifetime experience to anybody who is looking for an adventure. That evening, while we were at dinner, we heard the familiar “boom” of fireworks. This just goes to show how welcoming and accommodating the people of St. Martin are to Americans.

The next few days were spent relaxing at our home and frequenting the pool with the view of the ocean. During this time, we went to Marigot, the major city on the French side of the island, and did the majority of our shopping. Although the restaurants we went to were top notch, they were mostly empty because the summer is considered the off-season. While St. Martin is an island of tranquility and leisure, it is also a home to exhilaration and adventure. If you ever visit this multifaceted place, make sure to take advantage of each aspect as much as you can.

Police reports come from law enforcement agencies. Suspects are presumed innocent unless and until convicted in court. The Nassau County Robbery Squad reports a burglary that occurred on Tuesday, July 31, at 1:55 a.m. in Merrick. According to detectives, three unknown men wearing hooded sweatshirts (hoodies), broke the front glass door of the Verizon Wireless store at 2132 Sunrise Highway in Merrick. Once inside the store, the subjects removed several cellular phones, assorted accessories and electronic devices. The subjects fled the scene on foot southbound Wynsum Avenue. Detectives request anyone with information regarding this crime to contact Nassau County Crimestoppers at 1-800-244-TIPS. All callers will remain anonymous. © © © The Third Squad reports the arrest of a Westbury man on Monday, July 30, at 9:35 a.m. in East Meadow. According to detectives, Leayon Tallman was employed as a repairman for Action Repair Service of Merrick. On Friday, June 15, the suspect was sent to a residence on East Road in Kings Point to service an air conditioning unit. The defendant told
the 59-year-old male victim that he had to check an electrical panel in the bedroom closet. Later that evening the victim went into the closet and discovered that his Patek Philippe wristwatch was missing. The watch is valued at approximately $20,000. Detectives conducting routine reviews of items being pawned located the watch at a pawn shop in East Meadow. An investigation revealed the defendant had a friend who, with no knowledge the watch had been stolen, pawned it. The watch was recovered. The defendant was located on the grounds of the Nassau University Medical Center in East Meadow and was taken into custody. Mr. Tallman is charged with Grand Larceny. Detectives request anyone who feels they may have been a victim of the above to contact Nassau County Crime Stoppers at 1-800244-TIPS. © © © A 45-year-old Miller Avenue, Freeport, woman was arrested on Sunrise Highway near Babylon Turnpike, Merrick and charged with Driving While Intoxicated, Aggravated Driving While Intoxicated and three violations of the Vehicle and Traffic Law.
