ust after Memorial Day, it is still important to remember those from Manhasset who have sacrificed their lives in war. Munsey Park hosted its second Memorial Day Ceremony at Waldmann Park, honoring those from Munsey Park who gave the ultimate sacrifice. This year, we proudly remembered the life of LtCl Kent Fay. Let this man not be forgotten. Lieutenant Colonel Kent Fay was a Munsey Park resident when he was killed in France during the end of World War II. Fay was a U.S. Army officer achieving the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. He was leading the 85th Calvary Recon Squadron, fifth Armored Division. When an armored car he was riding in was fired upon by German troops in Rully, France killing him and others on Aug. 30,

house at 42 Trumbull Rd. in Munsey Park. They had three daughters (Judy, Jan, and Joanne) between the years of 1940 and 1943. The house on Trumbull was built for a large and prosperous family. A twocar garage was erected when most families couldn’t even afford one car. It is fitting that his old house on Trumbull overlooks a park honoring his memory. Kent was only overseas for three months before his death. He was shipped off in June of 1944 to England. When Kent Fay left Manhasset, the lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army left instructions for his family: If I don’t come back, bury me there. A few months after D-Day and with Paris liberated, the allied forces were putting the finishing touches on winning

The final vote tally total was 1,040 voting yes and 466 voting no. “Feedback we received was positive. We did not have many negative responses,” said Superintendent Dr. Vincent Butera. The passing of the budget will allow the district to build a security booth in front of the secondary school, get a new security vehicle and add more security personnel to the campus among other enhancements to the district. It will also allow the reimplementation of many programs that were cut from the last time the budget was voted down in

COLUMN Why I’m Running For Congress BY MICHAEL WEINSTOCK

I’m running for Congress because my congressman didn’t just let me down, he made me angry. My congressman is Tom Suozzi, and last year Tom Suozzi helped a sexual predator get released from prison. Congressman Suozzi’s friend is a Long Island politician named Gerard Terry. Mr. Terry is sitting in jail, because he failed to pay his taxes for 15 years. But, more importantly, Congressman Suozzi’s friend has a long history of pressuring young people for sex in exchange for government jobs. How do I know? Because I was one of the young people he pressured for sex. When I was a student, I volunteered on Carolyn McCarthy’s campaign for Congress. Carolyn McCarthy inspired me. She ran for Congress after her husband was killed and her son was wounded in the Long Island Rail Road shooting. Carolyn made me feel good about New York—and proud to be from Long Island. Terry had seen me around during the campaign, and he got to know me a little. A couple of weeks after we won, Terry invited me to meet with him at his law firm near the Roosevelt Field Mall. This was the first time he propositioned me for sex. Terry said that he would be happy to help me get a job in Carolyn McCarthy’s office. “She never would have gotten elected if it wasn’t for me,” he boasted. “I got her on the ballot.” Terry told me that I had a very promising future in local politics, and I was elated when he told me that he wanted to be my mentor, because he knew that my parents weren’t around. That’s when things got a little bit creepy. After complimenting my intellect and my work ethic, Terry told me that I was “a very handsome young man. And such a good dresser!” I thought these remarks were a little peculiar, but I really wanted the job so I convinced myself that his compliments were perfectly normal.

Michael Weinstock speaks with then-Senator Hillary Clinton at Ground Zero on Sept. 15, 2001. “As your mentor,” he explained, “I want to spend lots of time with you. I want to take you on overnight trips and open doors for you.” And, then, things really went off the rails. “I want to do things with you that you’ve never done before.” Terry frightened the hell out of me that day. I didn’t think I was gay—and I certainly didn’t think I was giving off a gay vibe. This was back in 1996, when thousands of gay men and women were being kicked out of the military. To make matters worse, Terry was a powerful, married man with a wife and kids. He was playing a very dangerous game, and he scared the crap out of me. I decided to stay far away from Long Island politics. After graduating from law school, I became a prosecutor in Brooklyn, where I asked to be assigned to the Special Victim’s Bureau. I only agreed to volunteer on another Long Island political campaign because a friend of mine was running for judge, and she asked for my help going door-to-door and collecting signatures. When I returned to the office one evening, I foolishly let my guard down. I walked into Terry’s office all alone, even

though the sun had already set. After a little chit chat, Terry grasped my forearm and told me, “I want to see more of you.” I squirmed away and ran to the door. While I was running to the elevator, Terry stood in the door frame of his office, pointing his finger at me and shouting, “I remember who my friends are, Michael. You ask around!” I avoided the man like cancer. Every year or two, I would Google his name, because I knew it was only a matter of time until he was arrested. And, sure enough, it finally happened. In 2017, Terry was arrested and indicted. Even though he held seven different government jobs and made a fortune of money, he owed the government $1.4 million in back taxes. And, then, something unexpected happened. Congressman Tom Suozzi got involved. He wrote a personal letter to the federal judge. Congressman Suozzi described an important friendship going back 30 years, and he assured the judge that Terry was a good person “with deep empathy for others.” I was thunderstruck that my congressman would write a letter of support for a sexual predator. I had been telling

people about my personal experience for more than a year. I met with an FBI agent and spoke with a prosecutor. I also told my local assemblyman. I even told Jay Jacobs, the chairman of the Nassau County Democratic Party. Nonetheless, Congressman Suozzi decided to pull strings and get his friend out of jail. There are only two options: 1. Congressman Suozzi knew his friend was a sexual predator, and he chose to look the other way; or 2. Congressman Suozzi was too lazy to pick up the phone and check with law enforcement before writing a letter of support for a convicted felon. If Suozzi had done his due diligence, he would have spoken with Leslie Gross, the former clerk of the Town of North Hempstead. Ms. Gross once went to a neighbor’s house and cautioned the couple that their high school–age son would be in grave danger if he ever went into Terry’s office after dark. Shortly after Suozzi’s support was made public, Terry was spotted in the local courthouse. He decided to resume practicing law, even though he was a convicted felon and his law license was revoked. Practicing

law without a license is a felony, and I was certain that Suozzi would show some leadership and withdraw his letter of support. It never happened. Congressman Suozzi continued to support his friend. Suozzi says he deserves a free pass on this one, because there were plenty of other politicians who protected Terry after his convictions. He’s wrong, of course. There’s nothing good about our politicians getting arrested and protecting one another. When Terry was finally sentenced to prison, the U.S. attorney was furious. The U.S. attorney told the judge that the letters submitted by Suozzi, along with other politicians, prove that “The political class on Long Island takes care of itself.” The U.S. attorney is 100 percent correct—and that’s why I’m challenging Tom Suozzi for the Democratic nomination for Congress. Unlike Suozzi, I don’t have family connections, and I don’t have a sense of entitlement. I still have school loans, and I’ve never run for office. But, I believe in what I’m doing. I know that New York is the best place in the world—and I know that my childhood role model, Governor Mario Cuomo, would never write a personal letter to a federal judge and try to get his friends released from prison. If elected, I will become the first 9/11 firefighter elected to Congress and the first openly gay person to represent New York City in Congress. I will also become the only openly gay man holding elective office on Long Island. And, I hope to become a role model for all young people. I believe in New York. I believe in a place where a teenager with two distracted parents can join a volunteer fire department and find a family. I believe in a place that showed far more love than hate after 9/11. It’s time to elect leaders who represent the best of New York. Michael Weinstock is a former prosecutor, a former firefighter and a candidate for Congress.

Greg LiCalzi and Munsey Park Deputy Mayor Jennifer Noone speaking. people, was against all orders and reason,” his daughter Judy said. “You do not lead. But my father knew the men would follow him.” Outside Rully, the Nazis had leveled part of an orchard to hide weaponry. As the American troops advanced, the Nazis opened fire. “It looked peaceful, quiet,” Judy said. “The shell hit with enough force that we know nobody suffered.” The armored car was on fire when the wounded American troops removed the body from the vehicle and ran for cover as Nazi men rained machine

gun fire. Etienne Dhuicque (a Rully resident) having seen the fight and in support of the troops who had liberated his country placed an improvised mattress on a wooden wheelbarrow and all alone, he brought Kent’s body to the village church. Until 1999, the Fay family knew nothing of the body and the wheelbarrow. Kent’s widow Mildred, died when Judy was 19 and questions of Lt. Col. Fay’s past went unasked for decades. Ultimately through some lucky fact finding, Judy was able to connect to the people

of Rully and visited the site of Kent’s death. The American embassy and the town of Rully basically went wild over the story. There was a service in the church, a stone building that dates back to the 16th century (Joan of Arc prayed there). There was a parade. There were massive dinner parties at the Dhuicque residence, where the dining room was cleared and guests circled a large table and food just kept coming and coming. There was a wine reception. And a ceremony in which the town dedicated

a cross at the site of Fay’s death. As he insisted before he left, Fay was buried in Lorraine, France at the Epinal American Cemetery. While Kent’s family moved away shortly after his death, his memory will never be forgotten by the Munsey Park community. Written in memory of my brother First Lt. Mike LiCalzi. Like Kent, Mike was an officer and a tanker and if he only lived long enough, maybe a neighbor of all of ours in Munsey Park.

the war. But just because Germany was losing its grip on Europe didn’t mean the Nazis were quitting. On Aug. 30, 1944, Fay was part of a group working its way through France toward Belgium with plans to liberate whatever towns needed attention along the way. Outside the town of Rully, Fay sent two units of armored cars ahead of the bunch to scout what lay ahead. The cars never returned. It’s customary for men in positions of power to take a spot near the end of the line— brains in the back, they call it—but Fay asked one of his men if the armored car nearby had ammunition. The man confirmed, so Fay climbed in, ordered his radio man to come along. He handed a leather wallet to another soldier and asked that the photos inside be returned to his wife; Fay had recently received photos of his wife and three daughters and wanted his family at home to know that he’d seen them. “What he did, to some

FOOD TALK

In The With Maria Dello

BY MARCO SCHADEN

sugar, it will alter our chemistry. When you eat sweets, you want more sweets, it’s a catch 22. You have to be aware of that, the best thing this person could do is be on a low-carb diet and be consistent. Being accountable is another one and you can do that by keeping a food journal or meeting with a nutritionist—every week or every two weeks is crucial even if you wanted to do it virtually.

mschaden@antonmediagroup.com

Marco Schaden (MS): What kind of diets do you recommend? Maria Dello (MD): I developed

the Lifestyle30 because every day I get a question about a fad diet. Right now, the most popular diet is the keto diet. Everyone should be evaluated, it’s very customized, your genetics are different and the way you work out is different. So, you really have to look at someone and say what is your body makeup, are you shaped like an apple or a pear. A big thing for me is looking at family history, so I’m not only treating someone for today, but I’m treating someone in 20 years. So if I were to evaluate you, I would say, how old is your mother? Does she have diabetes? How old is your dad? Does he have heart disease? It’s really important for someone to look at their goal when they look at their diet. Do you want to lose weight? Do you want to gain muscle? What is your family history like? On Weight Watchers, people are counting points, to me that’s a food prison. People ask if they can have popcorn or a treat after dinner–well are you hungry? Are you listening to your body?

MS: What do you say to someone that wants to lose weight? MD: People say they want to lose weight, but what kind of weight do you want to lose? Most people as they age lose muscle mass so that is not the best thing to do, because with every inch of muscle you’re going to burn 50 calories. I don’t really go too much on the weight scale, I go on the body fat, and so the lower the body fat statistically shows that you will live a longer life and burn more calories. So, ideally, in a perfect world, you should be on a low-carb diet, paleolithic and Mediterranean diet.

MS: Would you recommend that people find out about their genetics to understand what they should be eating or not eating? MD: 100 percent. I have been practicing for 20 years and I have every diet you can imagine. I can practically make you lose weight overnight. Nutritionist Maria Dello (left) on News12

MD: Really. I can make you lose weight by tomorrow. I can tell you three things today to lose weight, but can you keep it off. Anyone can lose weight, but can you keep it off and that is the problem with diets. When I discovered DNA testing, which I do here, it tells me exactly about food allergies, are you lactose intolerant, how do you deal with carbohydrates and are you sensitive to fats. All these people that are doing this keto diet, it might not be working for them because guess what? They didn’t test their DNA. This DNA test that I do at Dellonutritionals totally takes the guesswork out of dieting. It tells you if you should be on a Mediterranean diet, high-fat diet, high-carb diet, low-carb diet. This all goes back to the history of you as a human being and to your ancestors and what they ate. It’s also tells me what type of exercise is best from my history. Should I be doing more weights or cardio, or should I be doing both. This takes all the guesswork out of dieting, it’s a brilliant test, the results are amazing. MS: What about prices for healthy foods? Low-income families struggle finding healthier food choices because the prices might be too high and the only food they see MARIA DELLO on page 16

can afford is the unhealthy option. Is there a way to work around that? MD: It is a little bit pricier to buy organic or non-GMO, but I have realized that now every supermarket has aisles of organic food. There are the local markets that have food co-ops where you can buy a box of vegetables for $30 a week and believe me it’s a lot of vegetables and it’s all organic. I supply my patients with food sources that are not going to break the bank. The other issues with low-income families is they sort of have to be a hunter. They have to scout out different venues of food for better quality and purity. I think it is important that even if the prices are lower, really be a smart consumer and shop around. Nowadays, you can go online and look it all up and find the healthier choices. MS: How do low-income families stay away from going to the $1 dollar menu than going to the grocery store when the unhealthier option is cheaper and easier? MD: That is true, but if the idea is that there is no other food source that cheap—are they ordering a soda with it? There are other things they can do to offset that cheap unhealthy meal. Did they exercise that morning? Did they drink water that evening? Can they complement that meal with a piece of fruit? There is no doubt about it, fast food is always going to be around and it’s always going to be cheap. McDonald’s does not have closing signs, they seem to be doing very well. I think perhaps ordering a healthier choice there can help. Even Burger King has a vegan meal. Over time all these people that eat fast food, what do they get? MS: Diabetes.

MS: Should we be relying on the government– MD: No. We should become an educated consumer and that is the very thing I have been talking about in my lectures for the past 20 years. MS: Do you think the government should help people become educated consumers?

Now that you mention that, there is a reason we should be reading labels. Do you think the government cares that there is a FDC-number yellow or red dye number four and five and six in our foods?

Composer Joe Iconis Makes Broadway History BY KIMBERLY DIJKSTRA kdijkstra@antonmediagroup.com

When Be More Chill opened on Broadway in March, it was a dream come true for Joe Iconis. The Garden City native wrote the music and lyrics for the musical comedy adapted from the young adult novel of the same name by Ned Vizzini. The story of how this musical made it to the Broadway stage—the Lyceum Theatre stage, no less—is unlike any other, thanks to the fans who identified with the material so much, they wouldn’t let it fade into obscurity. “We...talk about anxiety and depression and these things that plague our society, but we...do it through this unexpected sci-fi comedy lens,” he said, and he has gotten nothing but positive feedback from fans who see parts of themselves in the characters. “I’ve been lucky enough to meet [many] Be More Chill fans in person…So many young people come up to me and say ‘Thank you for making something that feels celebratory, while still dealing with all of these issues that I go through.’” That’s what makes Be More Chill stand out from the crowd. Though

it’s about an ingestible super-computer that teaches its teenage host to ‘be more chill,’ there’s a lot going on, and depth that might be easy to miss at first glance. Following the run at Two River Theater in New Jersey in 2015, Be More Chill was effectively dead, living on only through the cast recording and tales of those fortunate enough to have seen the original production. A YouTube video of “Michael in the Bathroom,” the catchy and emotional anthem of the show, posted in 2017 went viral and essentially created the demand that this show return to the stage—which it did OffBroadway in 2018. Iconis has been rewarded for his efforts with a Tony Award nomination for best original score, as well as Outer Critics Circle and Drama Desk nominations. The composer

and lyricist refers to his musical as a celebration of suburban weirdness. “We wanted it to play out in malls and in bathrooms and in house parties and backstage at high school auditoriums, which is my youth,” Iconis said. “I was definitely thinking about Roosevelt Field when I was writing the mall stuff.” Musical theater has been a part of Iconis’ life since childhood. Though his family was not in the industry, they fostered his love of theater. He also credits the music education offered by the Garden City school district with shaping his future. “I don’t know where I would be if I didn’t have that access to music as a kid,” he said. In junior high, Iconis participated in the musicals by playing piano in the pit. He later learned to “properly exploit his love of the-

ater” by becoming the musical director for the Garden City Community Theatre and running the Hofstra Musical Theater Summer Camp. Since then, he’s written quite a few cabaret shows and musicals, including The Black Suits, about a Long Island high school garage band, and several more on the horizon. Broadway Bounty Hunter will open this July at the Greenwich House Off-Broadway. The musical written for Annie Golden tells the story of a theater actress of a certain age who is down on her luck and feeling the effects of a sexist, ageist society. “Through a series of events, she gets wrapped up in the world of bounty hunting [and begins] an adventure to South America to capture a drug lord,” Iconis explained. “It’s told in the style of exploitation films of the ’70s so it has this really cool R&B, funk score.” Stay tuned for Love in Hate Nation and The Unauthorized Hunter S. Thompson Musical, as well as a Be More Chill movie. For the latest, Visit mrjoeiconis.com and bemorechillmusical.com.

EDITORIAL

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR MANHASSET SCHOOL BUDGET I read your article in the Manhasset Press regarding the school budget. While I agree that student and teacher safety is the number one priority, I do not believe that it is necessary to make all the security improvements stated in the article. The Manhasset Public school is already in the process of making changes to the main door which is used for public access which will greatly improve security. I read the proposed changes and wonder will this prevent school shootings in our school, and the answer is no. There is only so much that should be done and I believe the proposed changes are too excessive. Is the answer to school shootings to fortify the schools? What happens when a staff member or a student brings a gun to school? Before we keep on spending more money to safeguard the schools, we should ask ourselves why people are bringing guns to school and shooting innocent people? Things like this did not happen in the 20 years ago, why are people doing this in today’s world? We have to stop this at the source and not by locking our children’s schools when we need to make an appointment just to go on the school grounds.

Temple Judea Hosts Islam And Protestant Clergy

COMMUNITY NEWS

s part of its Building Bridges program, Rabbi Todd Chizner of Temple Judea welcomed the pastor of the Community Reformed Church of Manhasset and clergy from the North Shore Islamic Center at two events recently. At each meeting, the clergy were warmly welcomed by the temple congregants who were eager to hear about the philosophy and goals of each religion. These programs were especially welcomed in light of the horrific murder of innocent people at houses of worship, because they provided a ray of hope in these dark times. Imam Shaikh Magdy Ali, spiritual head of the North Shore Islamic Center, spoke eloquently, reciting in Arabic, then in English, excerpts from the Koran, which were parallel to Jewish thought and philosophy. The president of the mosque, Israr Hasan, also spoke with heartfelt feelings about the urgent need to build bridges to face the future with confidence that such horrific incidents will not happen again. At the second event of the series, Reverend Dr. Tim TenClay, the Pastor

DESIGNS OF DISTINCTION — The history of the Theo. Hofstatter Company (Part 2)

ne particular work of note during their heyday was for the interiors of the Bergdorf Goodman Department Store on E. 58th and 5th Avenue. In addition, some of their known clients for office interiors included Chase Manhattan Bank, Eastman Dillon Union Securities & Co., U.S. Trust, Hoover World Wide and the Bank of New England. Their known designs for Long Island country house interiors included “Winfeld Hall” in Glen Cove, New York for Frank Woolworth, “Sherryland” in Manhasset for Louis Sherry (at present StrathmoreVanderbilt Country Club) and the beach pavilion for “Pembroke” in Glen Cove for Joseph De Lamar. These interiors were constructed

of rich wood paneling, screens, or plasterwork to best show off a client’s status. While the Theo. Hofstatter Company is no longer in operation, their extant designs remain a testament to the quality of the work produced and works of art produced by the many artisans who worked for the Company can rarely be replicated today. At present, a selection of renderings and blueprints of the Theo. Hofstatter Company are on display at the lower level of the Manhasset Public Library. These items are on loan to the History Center from Mr. Alvin Kupilik, Donna Fuentes and Kerri Reinholdt. —Information provided by Andrew Cronson.

he Nassau County Aviation Committee (NCAC) and Plane Sense 4 LI, a community group working together to reduce air traffic and noise pollution, held a press conference on Friday, May 17, outside the Theodore Roosevelt Legislative building in Mineola to announce a piece of legislation that was created due to the excessive planes flying over Nassau County. The NCAC is introducing a bill that would require the New York State departments of environmental conservation and transportation to conduct a study on the environmental and human health impacts and to examine and report on the effects of the air traffic from John F. Kennedy International and LaGuardia airports. This legislation was prompted by an increased number of complaints as a result of the changing air traffic patterns, which has led to low-flying planes, noise pollution and environmental impacts. Senator Jim Gaughran said, “The high volume of airplane traffic on Long Island is a tremendous nuisance to Long Islanders, with noise level far above the average noise threshold. This occurrence has grown progressively severe and more frequent with recent changes in flight patterns and an overall increase in air traffic. This raises serious questions about potential environmental impacts, effects from noise pollution and other possible negative impacts. This study is essential to identifying the environmental and health effects that thousands of Long Islanders experience every day.” The NCAC consists of 16 elected officials from both political parties. Since the creation of the committee four months ago, they conducted their first meeting on April 30, and have now put together this legislation that they hope will pass as a bill. The co-leaders of Plane Sense 4 LI have been fighting for equitable distribution of flights, higher altitudes and for health studies to be conducted for the last few years, with no resolution or response from Port Authority or the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Jana Goldenberg, co-leader of Plane Sense 4 LI stated the problem exists all over the nation, but communities on Long Island like Roslyn, Williston

Park and Valley Stream are greatly affected. “We just want to spread the word,” said Goldberg. “Everybody needs to know the impacts and implications of what this is doing.” “Today we stand unified together to stand against the FAA and the Port Authority, to say that Nassau County needs representation when it comes to airplane noise. Listen here Port Authority and FAA, listen to us today, we need a great quality of life and you need to listen to us, we are not going to be quiet,” Assemblywoman Michaelle Solages, member of the NACA stated. One Albertson resident said there were no signs of plane noise when he first bought his home in 2016. Three years later he explained, “I think the worst feeling was when I saw my 4-year-old daughter playing outside and covering her ears when the loudest airplane flew above us on a nice spring day. A blanket of noise and air pollution is falling over us and we don’t know what we’re breathing in because environmental studies [have not been] properly [conducted]. My feeling is that another Flint, Michigan is underway, right here on Long Island; instead of polluted water, we have polluted air,” he said.

In attempts to voice her frustration, Mindy Wekselblatt, a resident of East Hills, has attended local meetings and owns an air noise button. The Airnoise button was founded by Chris McCann, a software engineer and former Air Force test pilot. The button is programmed to the wifi monitor in your home and with a single click, the button automatically locates the nearest aircraft and registers a complaint with the correct airport. Wekselblatt said, “I feel like I’m a prisoner in my neighborhood, not just my home. It is unnerving, the frequency and how low the planes are. It has continued to get worse over the last several years. I am at my wits end, it is unbearable at times. I keep relatively quiet because I fear what it will do to the value of our homes. I am petrified of the health hazards to come as a result of the toxic fumes.” Valerie Elmalem, a resident of Roslyn Heights, explained her day to day life with the excessive plane noise. “We moved here in the fall of

AROUND TOWN 2017 when runway 22L was under construction. No one told us this area was under a flight path and we were not concerned because we are far from the airport and we did not hear planes. Some days, it is so unbearable, we leave the house just to be able to relax. We tried attic insulation [and] changing the windows, but we still hear the planes. It is incredibly stressful to be stuck in a house with this much noise,” Elmalem said. “The Roslyn residents think nothing can be done, so they don’t bother to show up to meetings or call their politicians. Change needs to happen, we cannot continue to be abused by the FAA without having a say,” she added. Residents of the Town of Hempstead can voice their concerns at the next town hall meeting, which will be hosted by Supervisor Laura Gillen on Wednesday, May 29, at the Elmont Memorial Library at 7 p.m. The Nassau County Aviation Committee’s next meeting will be Sept. 5, from 7 to 9 p.m. at Nassau Community College.

he Bayview Civic Association held its May 6 general meeting at the Greentree Foundation’s conference center located on the former Whitney family property in Manhasset. Before the meeting was called to order, Nicholas Gabriel, president of the foundation that was created by Betsey Cushing Whitney in 1982, gave attending BCA members an overview of the history of the family and of the historic 400 plus acre property. The foundation organizes programs and hosts meetings for the advancement of peace, human rights and cooperation among nations; practices sustainable land and wildlife management; and makes grants to support Long Island philanthropies. Mr. Gabriel and his staff also provided civic association members with a tour of the former Whitney residence before the guests returned to the conference center to hold their meeting. Outside guests at the meeting included Nassau County Presiding Legislator Richard Nicolello. Nicolello represents almost all of Manhasset in the Nassau County legislature and he provided members with an update on many of the issues facing Nassau and its residents today including reassessment - Nicolello’s office number is 571-6209. Legislator Nicolello also interacted one-on-one with members during the social part of the meeting. In addition to Legislator Nicolello, Nassau County Police Officers Oginski and Payami, members of the N.C.P.D. POP unit, problem oriented policing, attended the meeting and spoke about what they are doing to improve safety along Plandome Road and in the surrounding area.

The Bayview Civic Association and its members noticed an increase in vehicle and traffic violations on and around Plandome Road including double parking, illegal U-turns, stop sign violations, parking in crosswalks, etc., and asked the police department for help to increase safety for pedestrians, especially Manhasset’s children, seniors and the handicapped. The POP officers and other N.C.P.D. officers have not only increased enforcement, something the BCA and an overwhelming number of its members support, they are also working on other solutions to improve traffic flow and safety including working with the town to create a loading area for commercial vehicles and educating new drivers by using cones in crosswalks, etc. Increased enforcement is expected to continue in the Plandome Road area which includes Bayview Avenue and other local streets. The Bayview Civic Association was formed in 1995 and the association and its members, have accomplished many things to benefit not only its own membership but also Manhasset-atlarge. Some of those accomplishments over the years include proposing and leading the successful effort to create the Mary Jane Davies Playground, proposing and leading the successful effort to have the LIRR create the western LIRR entrance and pedestrian path so residents and Manhasset Park District parkers in the western lot could access the LIRR platform more conveniently and school children can walk safely parallel to the platform to the middle and high school. Additionally, the BCA has hosted more than 20 children’s holiday shows at the Plandome Road movie theater. —Submitted by John Minogue

1500 meter course. In many of the final races, the winners took their spot by mere inches. The race for men’s light weight four-person boat had a photo finish for second, third and fourth place with the difference being one-hundredth of a second. Once the officials reviewed video and they finally declared a fourth place finish for Port Rowers Lucien Wostenholme, Dan Dzwlewicz and brothers Witt and Graham Holmes. Just missing a chance at Nationals by an inch, the boys still took home the bronze medal for a third place finish for clubs. In total, Port Rowing entered in 16 events with two groups qualifying for Youth National championships (women’s pair as gold medal winners and women’s light-weight four as silver medals winners). The title of New York State champion and gold medals went to the girl’s pair for the third year in a row. The men’s freshmen four gold medal win was the fifth year a port rowing squad won that title. Boy’s Head Coach and Director of Rowing, Michiel Bartman describes the freshmen race,saying, “It was very exciting to see the Freshman 4 dominating both the trial and their final. With powerful strokes these young men walked away from the competition to win with more than 10 seconds on second place.” Other notable wins went to the boys varsity four who placed third overall, taking a bronze medal. Bronze medals in club category also went to the boy’s second varsity eight. Completing the women’s showings, the girls varsity quad, featuring no rowers from the varsity

fours or eights, posted an eight place finish in the A final. The women’s junior 4-plus was able to post a club silver finish in one of traditionally deeper events. Girl’s Head Coach Isa Rahman explains, “Our Girls varsity 8-plus, featuring no girls from the Varsity 4-plus, was able to row to a seventh place overall and fourth place among all clubs. Racing against the top boats of other programs in state. The result in the eight is most encouraging as we had three freshman and one sophomore in the boat and being more competitive than we have been in the past.” The New York State championships is a qualifying event for Youth Nationals to be held June 6 to 9 in Benderson Park in SarasotaBradenton. The prestigious regatta allows two winners from each state in each category. Port Rowing will send representatives for the girl’s pair and the girl’s lightweight four this year.

OBITUARY Bernardo Benacquista

Marie Therese Ferrari

Bernardo Benacquista, 86, of Manhasset passed away peacefully on May 20, just minutes into the day after the 64th anniversary of his marriage to his loving and supportive wife, Loreta. Bernardo was born in Fontechiari, Italy on May 4, 1933. He grew up during WWII in poverty which made a lasting impression on his life. This drove him to seek a better life for himself and his family by immigrating to the U.S. with his wife and two small daughters in 1966. Upon his arrival to the U.S., he went to work the very next day and worked tirelessly as a carpenter and construction worker for the remainder of his life. As a member of the Brotherhood of Carpenters’ Union, he was involved in the building of many public works, including the West Side Highway and JFK Airport (where he had landed on U.S. soil so many years before). Despite having only a fifth grade level education, his innate intelligence and hard work allowed him to succeed and have a prosperous life. He had strong convictions and was determined to have his way. Later in life he traveled yearly back to Italy with his wife, spending summers in the “paese” (little town) where he was born, under his favorite tree. When travel to Italy no longer became possible due to illness, they found a new life and new friends during the winters in Naples, Florida. He had an indomitable spirit and a resiliency that allowed him to bounce back from many illnesses in his later years. He is survived by his devoted wife, Loreta, who was his primary caretaker and closest companion, his two daughters, Dr. Teresa Benacquista and Graziella (Grace) Mahler, son-in-law Christopher Mahler, all of Manhasset, and his five grandchildren, Michael and Eric Barnd, and Christopher, Timothy and Stephanie Mahler. Visitation was held at Fairchild Sons Funeral Home on Thursday, May 23 at. Funeral Mass was held on Friday, May 24 at St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Church in Manhasset.

Marie Therese (Terry) Ferrari, once deemed the ‘most beautiful girl on television’, passed away on May 11, 2019 in Garden City, formerly of Manhasset surrounded by her loving family. Her trademark bright green eyes captured the hearts of many. Unbeknownst to Terry, her sister, Kitty, submitted Terry’s picture to Seventeen Magazine thus starting her illustrious long career as one of the top models in New York. Terry became Miss Subway, which was an instrumental force in launching a promising future career in modeling and TV. Terry’s million dollar smile graced the covers of numerous magazines including the cover girl for Look, Mademoiselle, True Romance, Family Circle and a variety of others. Terry also was the recipient of multiple beauty pageants including runner up Miss New York, Miss Holland and Miss Television for CBS. In addition to making the first live TV commercial featuring the U.S. Rubber Company, Terry appeared on the stage as a regular on the Jackie Gleason Show where her soon to be husband, Fred, would wait patiently by the backstage door to greet her at the end of the show. Terry had given up her career to become a wife, mother and dedicate her time for the better good of her community in which she lived. Terry was chairperson for the annual St. Mary’s Parish Ball. She served as a girls scout leader in the Manhasset community and was a member of the St. Mary’s and Garden City Rosary Societies, on the board of the Garden City Women’s Club, and The League of Women Voters. Terry and her husband Fred purchased their first home in Manhasset in 1955. Terry and Fred enjoyed traveling, raising their children and raising prize winning Doberman Pinchers. One of the Dobermans was featured in the Westminster Show as “Best in Show”. Terry is predeceased by her husband, a fifth Marine Division war hero, Fred Ferrari, who was the recipient of two purple hearts. She is survived by her children, Mary Searson, Theresa Furman, and Fred Ferrari, Jr. and seven grand children, Ryan Furman, Michael Furman, Catherine Furman, Freddy Ferrari, Elizabeth Furman, Thomas Ferrari, and Jimmy Searson and two great grand children, Conor and Caroline Furman.

Seniors Pace The Mighty Manhasset Attack

BY JOE SCOTCHIE

manhasset@antonmediagroup.com

anhasset is lacrosse country. After going undefeated in B-1 Conference play during the regular season, the Indians are sailing through the playoffs. On Thursday, they defeated Calhoun to advance to the conference title game against Garden City. The Indians opened playoff action with a 17-8 win over Roslyn. The Indians’ scoring attack was remarkably balance as 10 players made it to the board. Aidan Mulholland led the way with six points, including three goals and three assists. Louis Perfetto had four points, while Christopher Glynn, Peter Lapina and Chris Alcaraz chipped in with three points each. Ethan Gatto led the Roslyn attack with five points as the Roslyn finished the season with a winning record. Steven

Vlahakis and Alex Racanelli teamed up for the win in the goal, with each man recording one save Taking time from his charges’ winning run, head coach Keith Cromwell spoke about his team’s success. “We have a nice group of seniors,” he told The Manhasset Press. ”They are good, talented kids.” Cromwell said Manhasset had a tough schedule early on, something that “paid dividends” as they marched to the end of a regular season that saw Manhasset finish with a 8-0 mark

in conference play and a 14-2 record overall. The Indians fielded no less than 19 seniors this year. When a team goes undefeated in conference play in a tough division, there is no such thing as “dead wood.” Everyone contributes. The seniors not only played well on the field, but they also provided leadership for underclassmen who will take up the lacrosse banner next year. Cromwell singled out such stars as Louis Perfetto, Aidan Mulholland, Chris Glynn, Mark Tsyllos

and returning All-American defensive standout Ed Arnold for top-notch play. In the goal, Alex Racanelli and Steven Vlahakis kept opponents at bay, while the Indians’ high-powered scoring attack piled up huge leads. “The youth program in Manhasset is top-notch. Our players have been together for a long time,” Cromwell added. “Younger players are giving us important minutes. The team and the program is in good shape.” For Cromwell, coaching at Manhasset represents a perfect homecoming. A lacrosse star at both Hicksville High School and Rutgers University in New Jersey, Cromwell was an assistant coach at Manhasset for five years, before coaching at Rutgers. Cromwell has been back at Manhasset for three years now and you can be sure the high school hopes this turns into a long and successful run.
