The Year Of Two Seasons

Manhasset, football champs in the spring, rebuilding

BY FRANK RIZZO

frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

y a vote of coaches, those who know best, Manhasset was tabbed the best football team in Nassau County this past spring, copping the prestigious Rutgers Cup. The fall and winter sports seasons were erased by the pandemic, and Section 8 (Nassau County) scrambled to move all of its interscholastic sports campaigns to the winter and spring of 2021.

Football players hit the practice field in March and went through an abbreviated seven-game season.

On May 1, Manhasset won its Nassau Conference III title tilt against two-time defending champ Plainedge, 28-19. The win capped a perfect 8-0 season and was the Indians’ first title since 1996. It outscored opponents by an average of 33-9 per game.

Three months later, when fourthyear coach Jay Iaquinta presided over his first practice, he had lost 29 of 35 players, including the heart of the offense in quarterback Rory Connor and halfback/wide receiver Aidan Mulholland and the defense anchored by linebackers Blaze Conlan and Aidan Cole.

“This is not those kids,” Iaquinta said of his squad after a 32-21 loss to host Bethpage in the Sept. 11 Division III opener. “We went from being a seasoned, experienced team to a young and inexperienced team. There’s only two returning starters and we have four sophomores starting. We’re not talking about championships.”

half before a late Manhasset score made it respectable.

Manhasset’s stat sheet showed the leading tacklers as James Brady (16), Aidan Haggerty (15), Matt Cargiulo (14), Chase Woodson (9) and Jack Mullholland and Tyler Roszko (8).

“We did a lot of good things today, but we made some mistakes, and that came back to bite us,” Iaquinta said.

Asked to sum up his expectations, Iaquinta answered, “Our goal is to show up every day and practice hard, keep the faith and get better.

That’s it.”

Port Washington Teen Advocates On Behalf Of Late Toddler

Preventing child abuse in custody cases

BY JENNIFER CORR

F

jcorr@antonmediagroup.com

ourteen-year-old Shayna Blumenfeld of Port Washington, from home, appeared virtually in front of Gov. Kathy Hochul’s Blue Ribbon Commission on Forensic Custody Evaluators, expressing the importance of making child safety the top priority in custody cases.

Shayna is a youth ambassador for Kyra’s Champions, an organization that works to pass laws to protect children in child custody cases that could protect children like Kyra Franchetti, a 2-year-old from Manhasset who died in a tragic murder-suicide by her father in 2016.

The founder of the organization, Jacqueline Franchetti, had pled numerous times to the New York Family Court System for sole custody, but she was ignored. To prevent such a tragedy from happening again, Kyra’s Champions advocates for a set of laws included in Kyra’s Laws.

Facets of Kyra’s Law include making child safety the top priority in custody and divorce cases, an action passed in 2018, and the establishment of the Blue Ribbon Commission on Forensic Evaluators which works to explore the role of forensic evaluators in child custody cases. Pending laws include established supervised visit guidelines and training for forensic child custody evaluators.

“I am 14-years-old and I am here to be a voice for all the children that our family court system is currently failing; children who do not have a voice of their own and children who are not with us today,” Shayna said before the commission during the Sept. 9 public hearing. “You may think I am too young to have a say. After all, what could I know? I am 14. Well I do know a few things.”

Shayna went on to say that she does know that the judicial system is failing her friends, including Franchetti, a grieving mother. She also knows that child safety must be the number one priority in child custody cases, something child advocates like Shayna and Franchetti argue is often overlooked.

“So let’s talk numbers,” Shayna said.

“Eighty-seven. In New York State, we have a child abuse rate that is 87 percent higher than the rest of the country. Six. The maximum hours of training it takes in New York State to determine the fate of a child. That’s less than a school day.

Blue pinwheels representing children lost to child abuse in New York were planted in front of the Parent Resource Center lawn in Port Washington. (Photo by Jennifer Corr) Five. The number of children that died today because of child abuse. Two. The number of birthdays those children will get to celebrate before they die from child abuse, of which 80 percent will be murdered at the hand of their own mom or dad. One, the number of people it takes to make change.”

Kyra, Shayna said, was a 2-year-old child murdered by her own father while going through a child custody case on Long Island.

“The forensic evaluator in Kyra’s case dismissed any and all claims of family violence, even though Kyra’s mother was pointing out that her father was dangerous,” Shayna said. “They even dismissed that Kyra’s father had just purchased two guns, one of which was the very gun used to kill little Kyra. And yet, the forensic evaluator still recommended joint custody. How is this even possible?”

Had the forensic evaluator in the case received more thorough and effective training, they could have acted appropriately when presented the red flags in this case, she argued.

“Let’s return to that number I said before, 87,” Shayna said. “In New York State, we have a child abuse rate that is 87 percent higher than the rest of the country. So what should be done? What has bothered me the most about Kyra’s untimely death? I’m only 14-years-old and even I can figure out the answer to both these questions is training.

Children’s safety must come first and remain at the heart of every decision being made regarding their custody. End of discussion.”

In recent years, at least 743 children have been murdered in New York.

Shayna and her friends, to honor their memories, have planted 743 blue pinwheels in Port Washington. And the worst part, Shayna said, is that more pinwheels will be added when they plant them again next year.

But right now, despite these numbers, the emphasis on child safety is overlooked when in Upstate New York, there are zero hours of training required to make a “life and death decision,” Shayna said, on behalf of a child in a custody case.

Downstate requires six hours of training.

“I would undergo more hours of training to work in a fast food restaurant or to work as the cashier at my local supermarket than a court evaluator would to determine the fate of a child,” Shayna said.

Franchetti said she was proud of Shayna, and that her testimony impacted those who heard it.

“She was the only minor who spoke and she had everyone’s hearts and minds and souls by the way she spoke,” Franchetti said. “She was incredibly eloquent and incredibly persuasive and I hope she motivated everyone to action based on what she said.”

It was because of Franchetti’s advocacy, and those who support her like Shayna, that the Blue Ribbon Commission on Forensic Custody Evaluators was launched. “These are mental health professionals that are used in child custody cases very frequently, especially in our area, and there are many problems with them,” Franchetti said, referencing the issues Shayna

discussed during her testimony. “At the hearing [on Sept. 9] were a lot of parents. Not one person, by the way, of the [approximately] 20 people who spoke, was in favor of using forensic evaluators because they do not have the proper skills, the proper training and they are making mistakes.”

Domestic violence and child advocates, Franchetti noted, should be conducting the reports used in child custody cases, if done at all.

“I’ll use my case with Kyra as an example: we would have been much better off just going to trial,” Franchetti said. “A lot of these things are factual based. The abuse would have come out at trial. And what abusers are very good at doing is taking these forensic evaluations and throwing in lies, heresay and things that didn’t even happen and throwing them into these reports.”

When asked how she is feeling in finally being able to tell her daughter’s story after years of advocacy in front of federal, state and local officials, Franchetti, choked up by tears, said she wished she did not have to tell the story at all.

House Of Jailed Ponzi Schemer Remains A ‘Zombie House’

Plandome Heights neighbors fed up with abandoned house

wo years after Paul A. Rinfret was arrested in Manhasset for running a $19 million Ponzi scheme that defrauded six investors. Sentenced to 63 months in prison, his home on Bourndale Road North remains empty, overtaken by vines.

The “zombie house” was a subject at the Sept. 13 Plandome Heights Board of Trustees meeting. According to Mayor Kenneth C. Riscica, neighbors in the area are getting fed up with the abandoned property that had grass growing reportedly three-feet-tall before the village took the matter into its own hands.

“What makes it a zombie house is that his assets, as they’ve been recovered, will be used to pay back his victims,” Riscica said. “Some have reported that they’ve stripped the house bare, some have reported that it’s due for an inspection... but the most visible problem is that they don’t maintain the property.”

The home of a convicted Ponzi-schemer is today a “zombie house.”

The neighbors find the property to be unsafe, Riscica said, attracting pests like mosquitoes.

“We’ve been reluctantly maintaining, cutting the lawn periodically,” Riscica said. “We have been having internal discussion about how we deal with this. Do we fine them? Who pays us?”

Riscica said the village has been issuing appearance tickets in order to issue a fine, and in the meantime will continue to cut the lawn.

“I mean we can keep issuing appearance tickets...to let him know

we’re watching,” Riscica said. “But any further effort on that is not going to get us paid on anything, including the cost to cut the lawn.”

The problem, Riscica said, is that if the village does not maintain the property, nobody will.

“Perhaps, maybe it will change,” he said. “Somebody cut the lawn and it wasn’t us... trust me, I live right there.

The neighbors are not cutting that lawn. They are calling me.”

Deliberation on the house moves in strange ways, Riscica said. Neighbors saw a white van in front of the house

recently, hearing rumblings around the home.

“The broker who had the buyer that was going to get the house... barely wants to talk about it,” Riscica said.

According to Zillow, the home at 99 Bourndale Road North, a three bedroom, three bathroom home, currently has a “pending offer.” It’s valued at approximately $1.4 million. The home first sold in 2000 at $634,000 and was sold again in the summer of 2006 for approximately $1.2 million. It was listed for sale in the July of 2019 for approximately $1.4 million and since then has gone back and forth until the beginning of this year between “pending sale” and “listed for sale.”

“I think this is a case where we’re just going to have to suck it up and do what we have to do,” Riscica said.

He said the district still hasn’t worked out the details regarding diagnostic testing.

“Many questions remain, questions such as funding for the testing, when will it be provided—during the work day, outside of the work day?” Passi observed, adding that he’s waiting for more guidance. “For now we are preparing to implement this mandate.”

urricane Ida, on Sept. 1, did not spare even solidly-built school buildings.

Manhasset Schools Acting Superintendent Dr. Gaurav Passi told the board of education at its Sept. 9 meeting about the damage wrought by the storm.

“I can tell you that the Munsey Park [Elementary School] auditorium flooded,” he said. “We had significant rainwater come into the ground floor of the secondary school, which caused some concern. We had some rainfall in one of our small rooms at Shelter Rock [Elementary School]. So each building did have damage from the storm and in each building our crews worked through the night so that we were able to open on time for the students.”

Deputy Superintendent for Business and Operations Rosemary Johnson said the district’s insurance company made an assessment of the damages, “and the biggest area we’ll focus on is the Munsey Park Auditorium—the whole pit was flooded.”

She noted that the district did have flood insurance and added, “The insurance company said we fared significantly better than many of their other school districts. So even though for us it was quite significant, our teams put in a herculean effort once again on the heels of that whole weekend getting ready for school. So we fared better, and for that we are grateful.”

The Manhasset Press requested a monetary figure for the damage, but as of press time had not heard back from the district’s public relations firm.

Getting It Done

Passi showed a series of slides to highlight improvements to the outside spaces.

The new traffic pattern was much safer for students, Passi noted. The renovations created sidewalks and crosswalks so students will no longer be walking amidst the traffic.

Trustee Regina Rule was impressed by how smoothly Sept. 1, the first day of school, went.

“It’s always amazing to me how before school starts everything is still in the hallways and the floors are still being polished and then everything comes together,” she said, asking Johnson to convey her kudos to the maintenance staff, led by Director of School Facilities Frederick Bruder.

Johnson said it was an unusually challenging summer with all the

Passi joked that he asked Johnson, “What about plan B? What if [construction] doesn’t get done [in time]?”

She replied, “Plan B? Plan B is they’re going to get it done (laughter).”

A number of new classrooms were shown in the presentation, and Passi said he was especially proud of a new space in the secondary school captioned in the slide as the “Learning and Wellness Center.” It will put all the mental health services—guidance counselors, social workers and psychologists—in one place.

“It’s a very welcoming area. No other school has an area quite like this,” Passi said. “It’s dedicated to social and emotional learning. So we are really excited to be cutting edge here.”

strategies to limit disruptions to in-person learning and co-curricular activities.”

He put up slides showing the new COVID safety protocols.

The acting superintendent said the six-foot lunchroom distancing was a late-breaking change mandated by the state.

“When we set out in the beginning of the summer to reopen schools, we had planned for all kids to return to normal operations in going back to the cafeteria,” he said. “Once the guidance came out we had to adjust.”

Lunch is pre-ordered and delivered, and half the pupils are eating in the classroom to maintain the six-foot distance.

Board President Pat Aitken introduced Kathryn Cajdjis as the student representative and non-voting member. Aitken asked if she had any comment from the student perspective on the opening of schools.

“Everybody’s really excited to be back in person and to be able to be surrounded by our classmates once again and to learn in person,” Cajdjis replied. “And even with masks on, it’s just a thrill to be back in person and have some sense of normalcy back.”

For a second straight meeting, resident Donna Loh took issue with the mask mandate, claiming she suffered from skin conditions that the masks exacerbated. At the Aug. 26 meeting she stated that parents ought to have a say in whether or not their children should be masked.

“The mandate is from the governor, from the state Department of Health,” replied Aitken. “School districts have no discretion.”

She noted that the commissioner of education had warned that districts that flouted the rule could be fined and their board members removed.

“We appreciate your comments and understand that there are different perspectives on [the issue],” Aitken told Loh.

Curran Touts Safety, Fiscal Management County executive unveils budget with tax cuts

BY FRANK RIZZO

I

frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

t was ostensibly a press conference to announce the proposed 2022 budget.

But there was no doubt that election concerns were also on Nassau County Executive Laura Curran’s mind as she stood in front of the county government building to talk about her spending plan on Sept. 15.

The Democrat is running for another four-year term and will be challenged by Republican Bruce Blakeman, a longtime fixture on the county’s political scene.

In Curran’s view, there was a BC (Before Curran) era in county government that was fixed by her election in 2017.

“In 2017, the year before I came into office, Nassau County reported a $122 million deficit,” Curran began.

“We had a mess to clean up, and I was not going to let our residents pay the price for the irresponsible mismanagement of the past.”

What happened under her tenure, she continued, was “three consecutive balanced budgets without raising property taxes, and I directed my team to find creative ways to close the massive gaps in the county’s budget without cutting critical services to our residents. Services like public safety, public health and infrastructure improvements.

Three years of strategic fiscal discipline paid off and county finances are now in the strongest position in decades.”

At a press conference the day before, the Republican Legislative Majority challenged Curran to submit a budget with tax cuts.

She claimed she delivered, providing “relief for hard-working homeowners here in Nassau County. This budget provides $150 million in property tax cuts over the next four years, including slashing $70 million in property taxes for 2022.”

According to Curran,

Nassau County Executive Laura Curran and Police Commissioner Patrick J. Ryder presented certificates of completion to 183 Police Academy graduates on Sept. 15. The recruits completed 7 months of intense basic training at the new Center for Training and Intelligence on the campus of Nassau Community College. Of the 183 graduating, 168 are members of the Nassau County Police Department. More police officers are expected to be hired under Curran’s proposed budget.

“With this investment we plan to do everything we can to keep it that way,” she said. “And while crime in other parts of the country and even other parts of the state has spiked, major crime has continued to go down since that 2020 safest community designation.”

Curran thanked Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder and the law enforcement officers here in Nassau County “for helping us to get us here.”

“Today’s announcement

by County Executive Curran will greatly benefit the police department by allowing us to continue to hire police officers now and in the future,” said Ryder in a statement. “This investment in law enforcement will allow us to allocate proper personnel as we continue to decrease crime to historic lows to keep Nassau County the safest community in the United States.”

A spokesperson for the Republican Majority said members will need to study Curran’s proposed budget before commenting.

Legislature Minority Leader Kevan M. Abrahams (D– Freeport) said in a statement, “We are encouraged by the county executive’s vision for delivering long-term, reoccurring tax relief to residents. The Minority Caucus will closely review this budget proposal to ensure that the needs of Nassau taxpayers will be met in the most optimal and efficient manner possible.”

FEMA Aids North Shore After Ida Fixing the damage that Ida has done

BY JENNIFER CORR

T

jcorr@antonmediagroup.com

he remnants of Hurricane Ida surely packed a punch when it hit New York State earlier this month, as state and federal experts, according to Gov. Kathy Hochul’s office, estimate more than $140 million in damage to public infrastructure and property. More than 2,900 homes suffered damage.

That damage was evident on the North Shore of Nassau County, as soaked couches, rugs and stored away items ruined in basement floodings were left out on front yards for pick-up.

In Glen Cove, the police department, high school and library experienced extensive damage, causing temporary closures at the library and the school.

In Manhasset, flooding tore up basements on Nassau Avenue. In Plandome Heights, a basement collapsed on Plandome Road from the water pressure and in Port Washington, a mudslide reportedly buried cars, among other damages across the county.

On Sept. 5, Gov. Hochul visited communities across the state impacted

by Ida, and after her visit, she signed a request to U.S. President Biden for an expedited Major Disaster Declaration, which he approved. This would deliver individual and public assistance to eligible New Yorkers who have been displaced or suffered damage as a result of the storm, including those who do not have flood insurance.

“New Yorkers are still recovering from the damage across our downstate communities, and this request I signed and submitted to President Biden can secure the financial resources that are due to New Yorkers who suffered unimaginable devastation as a result of the storm,” Gov. Hochul said. “I have seen the heartbreak and pain of these families firsthand, and I pledge not to forget them and to ensure they get the resources they need to recover. Our recovery and support services teams remain on the ground, doubling down on our restoration efforts until New Yorkers are able to stand on their feet again.”

Gov. Hochul also directed that $378 million in previously-awarded hazard mitigation funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency be devoted to bolstering New York State’s infrastructure against extreme weather.

“To give some perspective, as I frequently do in a rain storm... I have to see how our storm drains are working or else I can’t sleep,” said Plandome Heights Mayor Kenneth C. Riscica. “So

“The basement filled up in minutes,” Armendariz said, describing how him and his son had to leave the basement after attempting to prevent the water from flooding. “Then my daughter noticed that the water was now coming on the first floor. So now she’s crying and the kids were very scared, they didn’t know how much water was going to keep coming into the house.”

Later that night, Armendariz said, firefighters came to his block to check on the residents. The water had receded downstairs, but “it was a mess.”

“There was still cars in the street,” Armendariz said. “A fire truck was stuck in the street.”

And the next morning, he said, there was still seven feet of water in the basement. Armendariz described only being able to see one step leading into the basement. Family and friends came to his house to help him clean up and pump out water, but he lost soaked items, such as his washer, dryer and refrigerators, and his wooden floors that are now warped and twisted. “I just have so much damage,” he said.

Having FEMA agents and local officials like State Assemblywoman Gina Sillitti and Town of North Hempstead Councilwoman Veronica Lurvey visit the property made homeowners like Armendariz feel represented. The catch basins and street in front of his home have also been cleaned since.

“As county executive, keeping Nassau safe is my highest priority,” Nassau County Executive Laura Curran said. “That’s why I fought to make sure Nassau County would be eligible for federal assistance from FEMA after the remnants of Hurricane Ida hit our county. I saw first-hand the devastation and massive flooding caused by this storm, so I urge anyone who was affected to please begin the application process for federal disaster assistance relating to any of your uninsured or underinsured damage.”

Victims of the storm can meet face to face with FEMA staffers and representatives at the Michael J. Tully Park Physical Activity Center at 1801 Evergreen Drive in New Hyde Park.

Nothing has changed except the occupant of the Governor’s mansion.”

The statement concluded with,

“Our lawsuit seeks to vindicate the authority of our elected school boards under current law to weigh competing considerations and establish the best local policy for our students—mask mandate or mask optional, together with a comprehensive opening plan.”

On the matter of the pending litigation, the Locust Valley Central School District declined to comment.

Gold Coast Republican Club Joins Newtown Sanctuary To Protect Pollinators

There’s something taking root and growing in Connecticut and Long Island: kindness.

On Sept. 18, the delivery of 30 kindness gardens to the Gold Coast Republican Club took place at the Polish Hall in Port Washington, adding to the 60 gardens already established on Long Island as part of this unique pollinator program.

Kindness Gardens, an environmental initiative between the Catherine Violet Hubbard Animal Sanctuary in Newtown, CT, and the Gold Coast Republican Club, work to beautify the land while increasing the number of truly native plants in each eco-region.

The 2021 Kindness Garden plants were grown specifically for the Long Island region in order to thrive in the coastal climate while promoting local pollinator health and propagation.

To date, over 5,000 square feet of pollinator habitat was planted as a result of the initiative.

Jenny Hubbard, executive director of the Catherine Violet Hubbard Animal Sanctuary, made the drive from Newtown to Long Island to personally distribute the plugs and answer any questions recipients might have.

The concept behind Kindness Gardens stems from the fact that all of nature - farms, meadows and gardens

- depend on a robust population of pollinators and beneficial insects, and those insects depend on native plants.

The 2021 piloted program utilizes plant plugs exclusively grown for the Ecotype Project - an initiative to support habitat restoration and pollinator health and is a plant- and placebased approach to land stewardship.

Included in the garden kits are 16-64 eco-type plant plugs, planting and care instructions, and detailed landscape maps to show layout design and soil, sun or shade specifications. Eco-type plants are available in select nurseries and were supplied by Newtown based grower, Planters Choice.

Nestled in the very heart of Newtown and spread over 34 acres of pristine farmland, breathtaking woodlands, and rolling meadows, the home of the Catherine Violet Hubbard Animal Sanctuary is coming to life.

The sanctuary pays tribute to the life of Catherine Violet Hubbard -- a 6-year-old victim of the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy -- and will be a safe haven and place of healing which offers companion animal adoption, farm animal refuge, wildlife rehabilitation and release, and on-site educational workshops.

After Tragedy, St. Dominic’s Students, Families, Alumni Rally Around Former Teacher

BY TIM SEEBERGER

tseeberger@antonnews.com

W

hen St. Dominic Catholic High School teacher Andrew Dillon left to visit family in Florida over summer vacation, he expected to come back and start his 34th year teaching Theology and English at the high school. What he came back to was a leaking pipe that flooded his apartment, ruining nearly everything he had to his name.

But through the generosity of his school community and alumni, over $44,000 has been raised in the last two weeks through a GoFundMe campaign to help Dillon get back on his feet.

The 69-year-old Theology and English teacher said that “It’s very, very heartwarming and humbling” to see the donations that have poured in over the last two weeks from students, their families and alumni. “It makes me realize I’ve touched a lot of people,” he said.

After Dillon left in June, the pipe leading to his upstairs bathroom toilet began to leak, and water flooded his basement, bathroom, dining room and two bedrooms. Mold started to accumulate in his apartment and spread to other condos in his building.

“I just wanted to go down and see my family, and I never thought that this would happen,” he said.

Dillon said he lost nearly $150,000 in the accident. Now, he’s uncertain of his future because he planned on using his apartment as his retirement.

In his first 14 years teaching, Dillon was a Brother at various Catholic schools, meaning that he received no income. Because of this, he was relying on the equity of his apartment to be his retirement fund.

The accident has weighed heavily on Dillon since returning home in August. Recently, he made the decision to voluntarily retire from teaching at St. Dominic’s out of concern for his

mental health.

Seeing the devastation from the accident, Dillon’s neighbor, Tammy Rogers, started a GoFundMe campaign to help get her neighbor back on his feet.

“It makes me feel good that people are willing to help us,” Rogers said.

The two have been neighbors for 15 years, and she said Dillon has always been a nice and genuine man to her. When she started the donation campaign, Rogers thought she would be lucky to get $10,000. Instead, the goal set of $50,000 has nearly been reached.

“I’m not really surprised because I’ve always known Tammy to be a surprising and caring person,” Dillon said over the phone. “Right back at ya,” Rogers quipped as she sat next to him and held his hand for emotional support during the phone interview.

Rogers said that most of the donations are coming from former students and their families of Dillon. He’s surpised that students he taught as far back as 30 years ago have donated to the cause.

“It’s tremendous,” St. Dominic’s

Principal Ronald Martorelli said about watching the school community rally behind Dillon. “He’s had a tremendous impact for literally decades.”

Martorelli said that Dillon has been a wonderful part of the community over the last 30 years and will be remembered fondly.

Even Roger’s 19-year-old daughter, Dayna, donated $150 to the GoFundMe campaign. When her mother asked why she donated so much despite being a college student, Dayna replied, “He’s always been good to me, and I respect him.”

Because of the accident, Tammy had to move out temporarily into a hotel due to the spread of mold into her apartment. Despite this, she said it’s been heartwarming to see so many people help Dillon out.

Seeing this act of kindness has also helped Dillon get through a time of his life that he compared to processing the death of a loved one.

“Their generosity has helped me move forward because there have

been moments where I’m tempted to give up,” he said.

This event has also strengthed his faith in God as someone who taught in the Catholic school system for 48 years.

“I just keep thinking to myself ‘With God, all things are possible,’” Dillon said. “I’m going to trust in God deeply in the years I have left because it’s going to be difficult.”

Teary-eyed, Dillon gave a message to those who have supported him: “I will never forget your goodness, and if the opportunity comes my way to do something good for others, I’ll definitely do it. I do really believe God is going to bless them for their generosity because I really believe God judges people for the good they do.”

t the height of the pandemic, more than 7.2 million homeowners were in the mortgage forbearance program, which allows some borrowers to pause their payments. Now, just 1.7 million borrowers are enrolled in the forbearance program. It will soon be zero.

The Biden-Harris administration has made it clear it has no plans for another extension of the mortgage forbearance program, which is set to lapse on Sept. 30.

On June 24, the administration extended the foreclosure moratorium for a final, additional month until July 31, 2021 and the forbearance enrollment window through Sept. 30, 2021 and provided up to three months of additional forbearance for certain borrowers.

Hardships related to COVID-19 are causing millions of Americans to look at a forbearance plan as a way to stay in their homes and avoid foreclosure.

If you receive a forbearance plan, you will eventually have to repay any amounts that were not paid during the plan.

Post-forbearance options that may be available to you include reinstatement, a repayment plan, payment deferral, loan modification and refinance.

About a month before your forbearance plan is scheduled to end, your mortgage servicer (that’s the company you send your monthly mortgage payment to) will contact you to discuss your situation and provide information on options that may be available to you.

If you receive a forbearance plan, you will have options when it comes to repaying the missed amount. You don’t have to pay the forbearance amount at once unless you are able to do so. About a month before your forbearance plan is scheduled to end, your mortgage servicer (that’s the company you send your monthly mortgage payment to) will contact you to discuss your situation.

To start the forbearance process, contact your mortgage servicer.

In a nation of more than 80 million homeowners, 1.7 million might not sound like a lot—until you consider there are just over 600,000 homes for sale right now on realtor.com and more than 58,000 of those are in New York. The end of the CARES Act forebearance program is not expected to sink the market.

ervice to community and neighbor comes with incredible ease to these longtime parishioners of the Church of Saint Mary in Manhasset, Carol and Brian Dunning.

Carol and Brian Dunning met at law school at Boston College in 1987 after having attended The University of Pennsylvania and Tufts University, respectively. Soon after law school they were married. In 2002, after their youngest child Eamon was born, they moved to Manhasset and settled in Munsey Park.

Once in Manhasset, they realized that they wanted a Catholic education for their children and quickly came to know the late Monsignor John J. McCann, then the pastor of Saint Mary’s, and Dr. Celeste Checchia, the principal of Saint Mary’s Elementary School. And so began their steadfast commitment of service to the church and schools of Saint Mary’s in Manhasset.

Carol Dunning has served for several years as a Eucharistic minister, both at the church and the Bristal Assisted Living community. She is a past chairperson of the High School Advisory Board, served on the High School Gaels’ Parents’ Association Leadership Committee for 10 years,

and was a member of the Elementary School Board and for two years served as the Elementary School PTO Vice President. Carol Dunning is also a member of the Rosary Society and volunteers her time with the RCIA program. Brian Dunning has served for several years as a lector and is a member of the Parish Pastoral Council and Pastor’s Strategic Advisory Committee.

It is almost hard to tell which is their full-time job: service to the Parish of Saint Mary or their legal practices. Carol Dunning is the general counsel to Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty and Brian Dunning is a founding partner of Dunning Rievman LLP, the president emeritus of the Spain-US Chamber of Commerce and a volunteer legal advisor to the Holy See Mission to the United Nations.

For over 90 years, Saint Dominic High School has offered a student-centered, Catholic education to young women and men from more than 60 communities and 42 public school districts on Long Island. The key to Saint Dominic’s success is this: the administration, faculty and staff respond to each student in a personal and caring manner, treating her or him as an individual with unique needs, aspirations, and potential. Very simply, at Saint Dominic, “You are a name, not a number!”

With an average class size of twenty-two and a student to faculty ratio of 13:1, Saint Dominic students excel in a curriculum designed to challenge the learning potential of each student. While offering a NYS Board of Regents Curriculum, students are able to go beyond state standards by taking college level, advanced placement, and honors courses, as well as our newly designed STEM program. One-hundred percent of the Class of 2021 were accepted to some of the world’s finest colleges and universities and secured over $12 million in academic, athletic and merit-based scholarships. The Saint Dominic campus features a state-of-the-art Science and Communications Center. We have research and STEM partnerships with Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, The Dolan DNA Learning Center, The Oyster Bay Waterfront Center, St. Francis Hospital, Microsoft, and others. Our state-of-theart World Language Lab for the Spanish and Italian curricula offers high school and collegelevel curriculum and labs utilizing interactive technology to help students learn by speaking with and listening to native speakers.

Saint Dominic provides a wide range of extracurricular programs and activities that encompass the areas of performance, service, and sports, allowing students to participate at a level consistent with their interests and abilities. The Charles B. Wang Saint Dominic Playing Fields, just 2.4 miles away from our main campus, is comprised of two baseball, two softball, two lacrosse/soccer fields, four tennis courts, and a retreat house, making it one of the finest and most comprehensive athletic and meeting facilities on Long Island.

Pigskin Perfection At Chaminade High School Book commemorates 1961’s unprecedented undefeated and untied season

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

S

ince its founding in 1930, the all-male Chaminade High School has been known for its rigorous liberal-arts curriculum, which fosters a Christian brotherhood and education of the heart. Its athletic department has also gained renown for the excellence of its teams. Currently, the Flyers are represented in 15 different sports. But the argument can be made that football is what put this institution on the map in the high school sports world.

And while the Crimson and Gold won CHSFL (Catholic High School Football League) championships in 1956, 1958 and 1960, it wouldn’t be until the 1961 squad came along that the first undefeated and untied varsity football team would hoist the CHSFL trophy. It was a special enough time to inspire Tom Kiley and Chuck Mansfield, old friends and former teammates on that squad, to write The Perfect Season: The Untold Story of Chaminade High School’s First Undefeated and Untied Varsity Football Team. Written in roughly a year, the inspiration came during a phone call Mansfield had with a Chaminade teammate about holding a 2021 reunion to commemorate the sixtieth anniversty of that particular Flyers season.

“Al Groh, the former New York Jets head coach, told Chuck [Mansfield] and I that we should have a reunion to commemorate the 1961, first undefeated/first untied football season at Chaminade High School,” Kiley recalled. “Prominent urologist Dr. Kevin Loughlin, also a Chaminade grad, was also at Al’s 75th birthday party and chimed in to say we should write a book commemorating the season.”

Kiley, who was a linebacker, and Mansfield who played guard, dove into the project in 2019, with an eye towards getting it published before the reunion set to take place during the Oct. 1-3 weekend. The duo wrote half the book, agreeing to have the other half consist of recollections from “...players and people on the periphery of the team.” Among the 20 or so contributions are a pair of 1961 articles penned by future New York Times columnist and author George Vescey along with contributors’

rememberances of head coach Joe Thomas, odes to deceased teammates and plenty of wonderment and awe over the unprecedented accomplishments of the ‘61 team. The enthusiasm that lights up Kiley’s face nearly 60 years later as he recounts his time on the Chaminade gridiron makes you wish late NFL Films narrator John Facena, a.k.a. the “Voice of God” were around to narrate the audio book version of The Perfect Season.

“Lots of great memories,” Kiley said.

“In varsity, I intercepted a pass and was going for the endzone. Their back tackled me and my nose was on the goal line and I never got that close again to scoring a touchdown. Plus, the camaraderie of the guys and the bus rides home. For home games, you

go to the sock hop. Away games, you ride the bus there and back. Going there it was quiet and tense. After business was concluded—raucous singing and rock and roll. We had a guy who sang ‘Beat ‘Em On a Sunday’ to the tune of the Shirelles’ ‘Met Him On a Sunday.’ That’s a pleasant memory. The guys themselves—once graduation came, not too long after the football season ended, they went to Notre Dame and Holy Cross and all kinds of different places.”

Ironically, the Brooklyn-born Kiley never intended to go to Chaminade and was instead focused on attending St. Francis Preparatory School in Fresh Meadows, Queens. That changed in November 1957 when he went to see his musician cousin play in the

St. Francis Prep marching band at an away football game being held at a school in Mineola called Chaminade.

“When I told my cousin I’d go see him, I wandered into the greatest game of the CHSFL [Catholic High School Football League],” Kiley said. “[Chaminade] typically played St. Francis Prep by the third game of the year, so it could never be the end-all and be-all game. But that year, both teams were 7-0. I was in seventh grade and my eyes were knocked out by the red and gold uniforms. At that point, I didn’t have the faintest thought or hope of playing ball at Chaminade at all. I was on the St. Francis Prep side that day and Francis beat [Chaminade] and it stopped us from having four or five straight titles. To this day, I don’t know why I tried out for Chaminade football.”

Having moved to Elmont with his family from Brooklyn when he was nine, Kiley played for both the junior varsity and varsity Chaminade squads. The 1961 team was his varsity year and came in the middle of a threepeat of consecutive championships for the school. Kiley graduated and despite Columbia University recruiting him to play football, he leaned into his Catholic faith and attended the College of the Holy Cross in Worchester, MA. Post-college, Kiley moved to Levittown when he was 23, eventually having three children and working coaching jobs at Chaminade and the Merchant Marine Academy before landing an administrative job at the Rosenman and Cohen law firm, a role he held for nearly 40 years before retiring seven years ago at the age of 70.

Like a metaphorical tattoo, Kiley’s time in high school left an indelible mark leading to his becoming a Chaminade man, the moral standard Chaminade endeavors to inculcate in every student of doing the right thing at the right time for the right reason no matter who may be watching.

“It meant to me a lot of friendships that have continued 60 years later,” he explained. “These are not only through football—there are many other Chaminade friendships. It was just a wonderful, naïve and tender time before the world really started to get turned upside down and that’s how I remember it.”

Back-To-School Safety: Pedestrian And Bicycle Safety The Garden City Police Department would like to address safety when it comes to pedestrians and bicyclists now that school is back in session.

Parents, grandparents, guardians and teachers are encouraged to use this article to help teach their children about pedestrian/bicycle safety.

Pedestrian Safety: • Children should not walk while talking on a cell phone or texting.

• Pedestrians should always use sidewalks when available and walk on the inside edge of the sidewalk farthest away from traffic. If a sidewalk is unavailable, pedestrians are encouraged to walk in a 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 eight years old, you should hold their hand on sidewalks and in parking lots. Furthermore, until they are 10 years old you should hold their hand while crossing the street.

• Teach your children to be defensive and never assume that a driver sees them.

• Avoid crossing streets at mid-block, especially when parked cars may obstruct motorists’ 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 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.

• Teach your children to obey the directions given to them by crossing guards. This includes crossing only when directed, not running and not riding bicycles through the crossings.

Bicycle Safety: • Persons riding bicycles are subject to the same laws as motorists.

• All bicyclists under the age of 14 are required to wear approved bicycle helmets when they are operators or passengers on bicycles. Parents should set a good example and wear a helmet.

• Regardless of what the law requires, the Garden City Police Department recommends that all operators and passengers wear bicycle helmets.

According to a 2020 report from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, 62 percent of bicyclists killed in accidents were documented as not wearing a bike helmet ;use was unknown in 23 percent of the fatalities.

• Teach your children 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 turns, slow down and stop without falling. Hand signals for bicyclists are the same as for motorists.

• Teach your children to be defensive when riding and never

assume a driver sees them.

• Bicyclists should carefully look in all directions for vehicles, other bicyclists and pedestrians and be careful when approaching 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.

• Ride your bicycle in single file only.

• Never use a bicycle to carry more people then it was designed to carry. Never ride anyone on the handlebars.

As principal, Soffer will draw on 30 years of experience as a teacher and leader in special education.

“It’s an honor and a privilege,” Soffer said. “As individuals, we are always learning and growing.

I want to empower staff and students alike to take risks and think outside the box. It’s my responsibility to set the tone for school and to model expectations in a way that will inspire everyone to be their best.”

as a special educator in nearly every capacity: teaching early intervention, preschool and afterschool programs; as an itinerant, resource room and classroom teacher; and coordinator for support organizations like the Special Education Parent Teacher Association (SEPTA) and St. Mary’s Hospital for Children.

Following administrative internships in the Rosyln and Herricks school districts, Soffer entered her first leadership role as assistant principal of Nassau BOCES Children’s Readiness Center (CRC). After a successful four-year stint at CRC, she moved on to serve as assistant principal at the agency’s Willet Avenue School and from that post was chosen for principalship at Robert Williams.

“Our collective goal is to create a nurturing school environment where everyone feels safe and supported,” Soffer said. “We challenge our students while giving them the skills they need to meet those challenges, and help them to develop the skills necessary to be independent.

We want to empower our students to prove to themselves that they can do anything they set their mind to.”

Soffer holds a master’s degree from Hofstra University and a bachelor’s degree from the University of Pittsburgh. She is certified in educational administration from Hofstra and certified

by New York State as an elementary and special education teacher, as well as a building and district leader.

More Than $1.1B In Loan Forgiveness To Borrowers

he U.S. Department of Education recently announced it will make $1.1 billion in closed school discharges available to an additional 115,000 borrowers who attended the now-defunct ITT Technical Institute (ITT). This decision is based on a new review of the problems leading up to ITT’s closure. These borrowers did not complete their degree or credential and left ITT on or after March 31, 2008. The department estimates that 43 percent of these borrowers are currently in default. This action brings the total amount of loan discharges approved by the department since January 2021 to $9.5 billion, affecting more than 563,000 borrowers.

This action extends relief to borrowers whose attendance at ITT overlapped with a period during which the institution engaged in widespread misrepresentations about the true state of its financial health and misled students into taking out unaffordable private loans that were allegedly portrayed as grant aid. ITT’s malfeasance drove its financial resources away

ITT’s campus in Airline Corporate Park in Colonie, New York from educating students in order to keep the school in business for years longer than it likely would otherwise have, resulting in debts that are being discharged. Approximately 7,000 of the borrowers covered by the closed school discharge announcement also have approved borrower defense to repayment claims.

secretary of education discharges the loans of borrowers and refunds any amounts paid if the borrowers did not complete their program of study because of their school’s closure. This applies to borrowers with loans from the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program, the Federal Family Education Loan Program and the Federal Perkins Loan Program. To be eligible for a closed school discharge, the borrower must not have completed their program or transferred their credits or hours to another school.

Discharges are also available to any borrower who withdrew from the institution within a few months of its closing. The secretary of education may, however, extend this period based on exceptional circumstances.

After a thorough review of the circumstances leading to ITT’s closure and the preceding years of misrepresentations and misconduct, Cardona is exercising his authority to extend the closed school discharge window to March 31, 2008 for former ITT students. This date was chosen based upon a review of external evidence from the bankruptcy court proceedings for ITT, filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).

March 31, 2008 is when the company’s executives publicly disclosed the start of a financial scheme that kicked off a series of misrepresentations to hide the true nature of the school’s finances following a public loss of outside financing, which led to shifting additional costs to students and hindered its ability to invest in delivering quality education to students.

Next steps for borrowers Borrowers who are eligible for a closed school discharge and attended

an institution that shut down between Nov. 1, 2013 and July 1, 2020 will receive an automatic discharge as long as they did not enroll in another institution within three years of their school’s closure. Eligible borrowers who attended ITT within 120 days of its closure in 2016 received automatic discharges in 2019. The majority of the ITT borrowers covered by today’s action did not enroll elsewhere during the three years after ITT’s closure and will not need to take any further action to receive a discharge.

Borrowers who enrolled elsewhere but did not complete their program of study may still be eligible for a discharge, but will need to submit an application. Borrowers can access the closed school discharge application by contacting their servicer or visiting StudentAid gov/closedschoolform and returning a completed application to their servicer.

The department will begin processing discharges in September 2021 and borrowers will start receiving automatic discharges in the following weeks.

Continued commitments to helping student loan borrowers This action is another in a series of steps the department has to support students and borrowers, make higher education more affordable, and improve student loan servicing, including: • Extending the pause on student loan repayment, interest and collections through Jan. 31, 2022 and expanding it to include additional borrowers in default. This change helps 41 million borrowers.

• Approving $1.5 billion in borrower defense claims, including extending full relief to approved claims and approving new types of claims.

• Providing $7.1 billion in relief for borrowers eligible for total and permanent disability discharges. This includes $5.8 billion in automatic student loan discharges to 323,000 borrowers and reinstating $1.3 billion in loan discharges for another 41,000 borrowers.

• Helping 30,000 small business owners with student loans seeking help from the Paycheck Protection Program.

• Retroactively waiving student loan interest for 47,000 current and former active-duty military service members.

Student Loan Payments To Restart After January

O

n Aug. 6, the U.S. Department of Education announced a final extension of the student loan payment pause until Jan. 31, 2022.

The pause includes the following relief measures for eligible loans: · a suspension of loan payments · a zero percent interest rate · stopped collections on defaulted loans Preparing for Repayment to Resume Here are three steps to make sure you’re prepared for payments to resume: · Update your contact information in your profile on your loan servicer’s website and in your StudentAid.gov profile. · Check out Loan Simulator to find a repayment plan that meets your needs and goals or to decide whether to consolidate. · Consider applying for an income-driven repayment (IDR) plan. An IDR plan can make your payments more affordable, depending on your income and family size.

Once the payment suspension ends, you’ll receive your billing statement

Celebrating

or other notice at least 21 days before your payment is due. Contact your loan servicer online or by phone to find out what your payment amount will be when payments restart.

Auto-Debit Payments

Your auto-debit payments may not restart automatically when payments begin again.

Will my payment amount change after the payment suspension ends?

It depends. If you’re on a traditional repayment plan, such as a Standard, Graduated or Extended Repayment Plan, then your loan servicer may recalculate your payment amount when the payment suspension ends. Your loan servicer would base this recalculation on your current balance of principal and interest and your remaining repayment period.

If you’re on an IDR plan, your payment amount will return to what it was prior to your payments being suspended unless you’ve recertified since the payment suspension began.

Will the payment suspension cause me to take longer to pay off my loans?

It depends on whether you’re on

a traditional repayment plan or an IDR plan. Traditional repayment plans include Standard, Graduated and Extended Repayment Plans. IDR plans include Revised Pay As You Earn Repayment (REPAYE); Pay As You Earn Repayment (PAYE); Income-Based Repayment (IBR) and IncomeContingent Repayment (ICR) Plans.

Traditional Repayment Plans The payment suspension paused your repayment schedule. You will still pay the same total number of months, but the date when you were scheduled to complete repayment has been delayed.

For example, if you entered repayment on a 10-year Standard Repayment Plan on Jan. 1, 2018, you would have 10 years from that date to repay your loan—meaning that your loan should be paid in full by Dec. 31, 2028. The suspension period is excluded from the 10-year period for the repayment plan.

If the suspension period were to last two years, then the loan should be repaid in full by Dec. 31, 2030.

Income-Driven Repayment Plans The payment suspension has not delayed your progress toward

IDR forgiveness because the suspended payments have counted toward your forgiveness.

Therefore, the suspension period may make it more likely that your balance will be forgiven than it might otherwise have been.

However, whether this is the case for you depends on your income and family size after the suspension period ends. IDR plans recalculate your repayment amount each year to account for changes to your income and family size. Changes to your payment amount will affect how quickly you repay your loan and whether you repay your loan in full before the end of the IDR forgiveness period.

This information provides general examples and may not apply to your specific situation. Contact your loan servicer if you have questions or need help.

OBITUARY

Former Academy Athletic Director Passes Away After Courageous Cancer Battle For 47 years, Karen Andreone has been doing the impossible, first as a coach at both Nassau Community College and Hofstra University, then as a teacher, coach and girls’ athletic director at St. Agnes Cathedral High School and finally as the athletic director, teacher and coach at Our Lady of Mercy Academy. On Aug. 30, Andreone passed away after a courageous battle with breast cancer.

As a student-athlete, Andreone is still the only person to letter in six sports at Nassau and was inducted into the Nassau Community College Hall of Fame and subsequently inducted into three other halls of fame: Brooklyn-Queens Girls Catholic High School Athletic Association, New York State High School Softball, Class of 2014 and Our Lady of Mercy Hall of Fame. She was a pioneer at St. Agnes, starting the Girls Athletic Program in 1973.

Throughout her 33 years as the athletic director of Our Lady of Mercy, Andreone more than doubled the opportunities for student participation in the athletic program.

Her influence created programs in soccer, lacrosse, golf, badminton, crew, cross country and winter track that did not exist when she started in the fall of 1986.

Fondly known by her students as “Miss A,” her office at Mercy

Karen Andreone was like walking through years of “Mercy’s Hall of Fame.” The pictures and other memorabilia on the walls represented Andreone’s involvement in athletics and Mercy’s theatrical productions, sports night and leader’s club. She is truly a part of the heart and soul of Our Lady of Mercy Academy.

Since 1987, Andreone served as president of the Nassau Suffolk Catholic Girls’ Athletic Association and also served as the Girls’ New York State Catholic High School chairperson for state tournaments in volleyball, softball and basketball.

She inspired students to exercise their academic and athletic skills and achieve their highest goals by taking the initiative to develop their

leadership potential. She was a giving and unselfish coach who had the rare talent of taking the average player and transforming her into a highly skilled athlete. She taught the importance of good sportsmanship, leadership and communication.

‘Miss A’ led by example. The expectations she had for her students are no different than the high standards she set for herself. The quote on her office door stated that “A good coach will make you a good player, a great coach will make you a great person.” Andreone inspired thousands of young girls to become ‘great young women.’ She believed that a player’s character extends beyond the playing field, and there were no limits to how far she would go to help one of her students achieve success.

Andreone’s championship attitude did not accept defeat and she always put forth her dedication, commitment and personal best at all times for the benefit of all her students. Generations of St. Agnes and Mercy girls have been blessed to have had this “Great Coach” and inspirational teacher touch their lives. She leaves behind a legacy that will continue to positively impact all who were fortunate to know her.

May she rest in peace.

ADVERTORIAL

At the Schools of Saint Mary, Manhasset, students in Nursery through Grade 12 flourish in an innovative and nurturing educational environment rooted in Catholic values. The mission of the school is to empower students to find inspiration and joy as they discover themselves and learn what they are capable of accomplishing. Small class sizes foster a more personal connection between students and faculty. Faculty and administrators at St. Mary’s strive to educate the whole child – intellectually, spiritually, emotionally, socially, and physically.

The use of cutting-edge technology, including campus-wide wireless capabilities, an online system that allows students and parents to access homework and grades, and school-issued Chromebooks for every student in sixth through twelfth grade, helps teachers provide students with a strong academic foundation. At the early childhood and primary grade levels, students actively explore concepts and develop skills through an interdisciplinary approach utilizing the latest technology, handson learning materials, and skill-related experiences. Students in grades 6-12 incorporate technology as an interactive tool that enables them to be independent learners while investigating researchbased learning.

The St. Mary’s education is about more

than just academics. Spiritual values, a sense of service and the growth of faith are fostered by connecting Gospel values to all parts of the curriculum, including core academic classes, allowing students at all grade levels to deepen their moral standards and ethics. Students learn about the tenets and meaning of their Catholic faith and how to live it joyfully, especially in serving others within the school and greater community.

The school day doesn’t end when the last bell rings – St. Mary’s becomes a vibrant after-school community as students at all grade levels participate in a wide range of extracurricular clubs and activities, exploring their talents and skills outside of academia.

Middle and high school students gain an appreciation for the arts and develop their creativity through participation in the Fine and Performing Arts Program. By taking classes in art, chorus, band, orchestra, dance or stage performance; performing arts students learn from and work alongside professionals in those fields.

The Schools of St. Mary is also proud of its competitive athletic programs at the middle and high school

Democratic TOB Supervisor Candidate Accuses Saladino Of Free Speech Violation

lainview Water District Commissioner and Town Supervisor Democratic candidate Amanda Field made accusations at a Sept. 15 press conference against the administration of Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor Joseph Saladino of violating her team’s First Amendment rights by blocking the dissemination of leaflets at a public town event on the weekend of Sept. 10.

Field said that she and her team of hopeful candidates for town positions were handing out leaflets at the town’s Waterfont Festival at TOBAY Beach on Sept. 12. Town safety personnel approached them and told them to stop passing out flyers. Heeding the warning, the group then walked around the festival talking to constituents, but were again approached by a town safety officer and were asked to stop disseminating leaflets. Field replied that they had stopped and she didn’t have a bag to put them in. After exiting the festival grounds, the group stood in the parking lot outside the event passing out flyers and were approached a third time

speech across the way from Oyster Bay Town Hall. “Any town code, action, or code that calls into question First Amendment rights preventing such action is unconstitutional and it must be called out. This practice must end.”

The code in question is a Parks and Recreation code which says that dissemination of leaflets at special events “requires restrictions on the time, place and manner of such speech, assembly, expression and leafleting” out of the protection of residents and so as to not bother them at these events. To give out leaflets, one can apply for a permit to do so.

The ordinance, adopted in 2006, was deemed unconstitutional in 2009, but was revised thereafter to balance the welfare of residents attending events

and freedom of expression.

In response to the recent accusations, Town Spokesperson Marta Kane said, “The Oyster Bay Democratic ticket supports defunding the police yet also believes they’re above the law. Town codes are in place for over a decade to protect the public from annoying business and political solicitations during a family outing. Candidates running for elected office should respect the law rather than break it.”

and its code.”

He later referenced an incident of a religious group who took the town to court in in 2008 because they were arrested and removed from a Music Under the Stars event after passing out leaflets to residents. Saladino said that the code was upheld in the federal court case. In comparison, the ruling of the case, People v. Mendelson, stated that the code was unconstitutional and the code was altered in 2009 to balance the right to free speech and the welfare of the public.

In response to the court claims, Field said these were a lie told by Saladino and said, “It was another feeble attempt to belitte Town Councilwoman candidate Lisa Reinhardt.”

In his explanation of the

code, Saladino also said the code is in place for environmental reasons so that flyers don’t end up littered and in the waterways, “and therefore the accusations made earlier are just not true.”

As for environmental claims, Field noted that although her team were passing out leaflets at the event, it pales in comparison to what she said was “millions” of taxpayer dollars to send out self-promotional flyers to residents over the course of the election cycle. Kane said in response that communications with residents cost less than a stamp per household due to lower bulk pricing.

This isn’t the first time that Saladino has been accused of silencing opposition.

In 2013, the town settled

a lawsuit with Former Bay Constable and town board candidate Christopher Briggs who captured photos and video of Town Attorney Frank Scalera using a town-owned vehicle with campaign signs in it, and town employees taking down opposing candidate signs. The town admitted to no wrongdoing in the settlement and had to tell town employees to stop removing signs.

Four years later, Saladino himself was accused by Village Administrator Bruce Kennedy of taking down publicly posted signs for Democratic candidates in Sea Cliff.

In 2019, his administration was called out by residents, local Democrats and the New York Civil Liberties Union for deleting negative comments on the town’s Facebook page and

blocking critics. The town said it has policy of removing content that is “obscene, offensive or otherwise inappropriate,” and those who were blocked were repeat offenders. Some residents and candidates who spoke out about the administration said their comments were critical, but not offensive.

Field and her team were not issued any tickets or summons after the incident on Sept. 12. Asked about whether Democrats plan to file a lawsuit, Field said they very well may, but isn’t sure just yet. She added that she wants to research her facts before making any judgement calls.

the situation. She said that she is for differing viewpoints and defending infringements of First Amendment rights, but said that “Sunday was not an example of either.”

In response, Saladino brought up Town Attorney Frank Scalera, who disputed the claims of infringement.

He explained that a group has to get a permit in order to be at the event. Saladino said that the group of candidates were “very new and inexperienced, so they are probably unaware that this has gone through all the processes of federal court and they determined that there is absolutely no infringment on free speech in the manner in which the town has set up this system

Backflow Device Testing Required To Protect Plainview’s Water System Plainview residents must have their backflow system tested by a professional by Dec. 31 as mandated by the New York State Health Department and the Nassau County Health Department, according to the village’s water district to ensure the safety of Plainview-Old Bethpage’s water supply.

“Having a proper, functioning backflow system is

necessary to prevent contaminants from entering the District’s distribution system,” said PWD Chairman Marc Laykind. “Weed killers, fertilizers, and other lawn products will not find their way back into the public water supply after a period of low pressure with a certified backflow device.”

Backflow devices are mechanical double-check

valves that prevent the water flow from reversing during a loss of water pressure. This loss can be caused by firefighter use or a water main break.

These devices must be tested annually to make certain they are installed and functioning properly. Backflow devices prevent pollution and contamination of the public water supply during times of fluctuating pressure. Residents

need a backflow device if they have: in-ground sprinklers, fire lines, swimming pools, or a private well that is interconnected with the public water supply to name a few conditions.

“Slight water pressure changes in the distribution system is not uncommon during the year due to differing water demands,” said PWD Commissioner Andrew

Bader. “If a backflow device is not properly installed, chemicals and other pollutants can easily infiltrate our community’s water.”

To find a certified backflow tester, visit www.plainviewwater.org/resources/backflow/.

ethpage opened its Nassau Conference III football season with a moving tribute to those lost on September 11, 2001. It also honored those who died in the wars against terrorism, including reading the names of the 13 service members who perished last month during the evacuation of Kabul, Afghanistan.

On the field, the Golden Eagles used a strong running game to convert four fourth down situations and beat defending conference champs Manhasset 32-21.

The visiting Indians had pulled within 19-13 at halftime, but in the fourth quarter Brian Luzzi responded with an 18-yard run for his third score and Anthony Cucurullo added an insurance TD with 8:10 left.

Luzzi ran 13 times for 84 yards and quarterback Luke Galgano contributed six carries for 88 yards. He also added 52 passing yards, completing four of nine attempts.

PROTECTING OUR WATER IN SEA CLIFF AND BEYOND Because Long Islanders live so close to the water and our drinking water is literally beneath our feet, I am especially vigilant in my oversight of matters impacting Nassau County’s environment and wastewater management infrastructure. I am proud to have secured funding for critical upgrades in the 11th District and across the county.

Although Sea Cliff residents and business owners have relied on cesspools for more than a century, we are now taking a modern approach to waste management that

improves quality of life and protects Hempstead Harbor and safeguards our drinking water.

My office has been working closely with Nassau County, Sea Cliff Village, and New York State officials to secure funding that will provide sewers for the entire Village over time. Over the past few years, nearly a mile and a half of sanitary sewer pipes have already been added to Sea Cliff’s infrastructure. These sewer lines were connected to Glen Cove’s Sewage Treatment Plant earlier this year.

Also, as part of its first round of American Rescue Plan allocations, the county dedicated $3 million to help property owners who are outside of sewer coverage areas.

SEPTIC (Septic Environmental Program to Improve Cleanliness) provides grants to replace standard or failing systems with cost-effective, state-of-the-art alternative wastewater treatment systems.

Not only are they environmentally sound, they are more convenient because they require fewer pump-outs. The matching program provides

Angela Susan Anton

up to $20,000 in grants toward the installation of nitrogen-reducing septic systems.

Homeowners and small businesses that discharge less than 1,000 gallons a day of wastewater are eligible to apply. Visit www.nassaucoun tyny.gov/septicreplace for details.

As always, feel free to contact my office about this or any other topic at 516-5716211 or dderiggiwhitton@ nassaucountyny.gov.

Time To Secure Our New York City Transit Subway System From Flooding Super Storm Sandy in 2012 resulted in extensive flooding damage to the New York City Transit subway system.

In the aftermath, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) provided billions in discretionary funding under the Super Storm Sandy Recovery and Resiliency program to MTA. This supplemented more than $1 billion in annual FTA formula funding that has grown to $1.5 billion today.

NYC Transit should have learned from Super Storm Sandy which of the 471 subway stations and 36 subway lines were most vulnerable to flooding or located in flood zones. Remedial actions should have been completed years ago. Fast forward to 2021.

After spending emergency funds on upgrading and adding additional sump pumps, securing subway entrances, elevator shafts and street level air vents, there are still too many subway stations and lines subject to flooding after major rain storms. Based upon the most recent record storm as a result of Hurricane Ida, NYC Transit still needs to do more.

New York City is the actual owner of our NYC Transit bus and subway system. The MTA operates the system based upon the 1953 Master Lease and Operating Agreement between

CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE weeks is the installment of our new governor, Kathy Hochul, the first woman to lead the state of New York. Here in Nassau County, I passed legislation in 2018 requiring those in positions of power in county government to undergo sexual harassment training. It is my priority to work with stakeholders and local leaders to update this legislation to provide the safest work environment possible.

The challenges before our new governor are manifold: the Supreme Court has ended the federal eviction moratorium, posing new problems for both landlords and tenants—while several pandemic unemployment benefit programs ended on Sept. 5.

Additionally, we must be prepared to meet the urgent need to provide resources to our incoming Afghan brothers and sisters, whom I hope will find refuge and support in our state and our county. At precisely this time last year, I pledged my support to the Jericho Family Support Center, a transitional housing facility that sought to address housing insecurity here in Nassau County by providing job training, childcare and other essential support to end the cycle of homelessness for so many

City Hall and the MTA. Consider adding new pump rooms. Improve coordination with the New York City Department of Environmental Protection to insure there is adequate storm water and sewage system capacity adjacent to stations and tracks.

Purchase additional mobile pumps and pump trains. City Hall must provide adequate funding to the DEP so they can provide NYC Transit with the necessary support to provide safe and reliable service that five million pre-COVID-19 riders count on.

There needs to be additional capital improvements in the current $51 billion Five Year 2020-24 Capital Plan to deal with flooding. Funding is only provided to bring seven of the 17 existing NYC Transit subway system pump rooms back to a state of good repair.

Why not program additional federal or local funds to deal with this periodic

problem? What not add additional capital improvements in the pending MTA 2020-40 Twenty Year Capital Plan to deal with this?

How many NYC Transit Bus. Manhattan and Bronx Surface Transit Operating Authority Bus, MTA Bus (the former seven New York City private franchised bus operators), NYC Transit and Staten Island Railway subway yard and shops are located in flood zone areas? Have they all been upgraded to deal with the next Super Storm Sandy?

The same should apply to all Long Island and Metro North Rail Road stations, yards and shops. The tracks serving the Port Washington branch adjacent to both the Bayside and Great Neck Stations have on several occasions after heavy rain storms been subject to flooding. This resulted in delays and suspension of service. Will the proposed new $2.05 LaGuardia Air Train station connection to the existing NYC Transit and LIRR Willets Point stations located near a flood zone be able to handle potential flooding?, Five million subway and commuter rail riders should not have to deal with continued inconveniences every time there is a major rain storm.

In many ways, September offers a time of reflection. For most Nassau County residents, a farewell to summer includes a celebration of Labor Day. On Labor Day, and every day, it bears repeating: Thank you to all of our brothers and sisters in labor and trade, the essential workers and frontline heroes who went to work when many of us stayed home, many of whom made the ultimate sacrifice to keep our world running throughout the pandemic. Still, these workers continue to place the health and safety of others above that of their own each day. For this reason, Labor Day, and the workers it honors is

especially meaningful.

This week, we continue to mourn the loss of 11 Marines, a Navy medic and a member of the Army, who, along with many civilians, were killed in Kabul. As we commemorate the 20th anniversary of September 11, the darkest and most horrific day in our nation’s history, many of our neighbors and friends may need support as they experience painful reminders of loved ones taken too soon. If you or someone you know is struggling, or simply needs to talk, please contact the Long Island Crisis Center at 516-679-1111.

September also ushers in the sacred Jewish holidays of Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot and Simchat Torah. Sadly, we have seen a rise in incidents of anti-Semitism both globally and locally. Though this increase is both alarming and disturbing, I am proud to have introduced a bill which passed unanimously establishing a task force to identify and examine the root causes of anti-Semitism here in Nassau County. Comprised of members of the Legislature who will appoint community leaders to work in partnership to hold a public hearing and a 60-day comment period, our goal is to eradicate antisemitism here in our

county, but we can’t do it without you: we will need robust participation from Jewish and non-Jewish members of the public in order to succeed. We must be mindful of our unwavering mandate to always be kind to one another and to celebrate our cultural and religious differences, the beauty of our mosaic community.

As the new school year and the new Hebrew year approach, it is only fitting to wishing all who observe Shanah Tovah (Happy New Year), and a happy and healthy academic year to our students and teachers, who remain frontline heroes and sheroes in the battle against COVID-19 and the Delta variant.

May we all work together to end this pandemic once and for all by adhering to mask mandates in schools and by opting to wear masks, especially in large gatherings, getting vaccinated, and obtaining booster shots, washing hands often and using sanitizer, and maintaining social distancing so that we may truly and fully experience the gift of renewal.

Town of Oyster Bay launches ‘Zombie House’ registry. The Town of Oyster Bay has launched a new online Abandoned Property and Zombie Home Registry that allows residents to report rundown properties within their neighborhood located in the unincorporated areas of the town.

“Protecting our suburban quality of life is a top priority for the Town Board,” Councilman Lou Imbroto, who serves as chairman of the Town’s Quality of Life Taskforce, said.

“No community should be forced to deal with unmaintained and dangerous eyesores that serve as havens for squatters, rodents and other such problems.”

Zombie homes are properties that have been vacant for an extended period of time and are often owned by a bank, trust or mortgage company. The Code Enforcement Bureau from the Department of Planning and Development continually monitors vacant properties, issues notices of

violations against neglected properties, and takes action to cleanup properties.

Once a property has been identified as abandoned or an eyesore, code enforcement officers inspect and assess the property. The town explores all possible avenues to spur the owner to rehabilitate the property. Once all options have been exhausted, the town will seek legal remedies to demolish an eyesore in the community.

“The objective of the town’s Zombie Home Program is to ensure the Town of Oyster Bay continues to be a highly desirable community to live, work and raise a family,” Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino said.

“This new, online registry will help our Department of Planning and Development enhance their tracking of eyesores.

New Season-Time to Look and Feel Better

Bethpage High School Assistant Principal Kevin Healy performed “Amazing Grace” on the bagpipes to conclude the remembrance ceremony.

Bethpage High School Principal Nicholas Jantz reflected on the events of Sept. 11, 2001 during the school’s remembrance ceremony.

Each member of the senior class planted an American flag in the school’s front lawn, creating a beautiful field of honor.

Fall can be a very exciting time, with the season changing, the weather cooling and the holidays looming ahead. It is also the perfect time to think about how you can finally deliver on your commitment to doing something for yourself.

Back to the gym, back to the diet, the new season brings with it the impetus to look better and feel better.

Utilizing only the latest and most advanced surgical approach, your recovery is fast and the sooner you act, the sooner you’ll look fantastic. Get ready for your winter vacation or spruce up for the holidays with SmartLipo MPX®, the most advanced technique in liposuction available. This technology is light years ahead of competing liposuction systems with less bruising and a shorter recovery time. If you have been considering a Tummy Tuck post-pregnancy or weight loss, this procedure will have you in great shape in a very short period of time and you can show off that terrific figure at the upcoming holiday parties.

It is often a combination of services that produces the best result, many times including breast augmentation, breast lift or breast reduction, with the appropriate procedure determined by each individual’s

body. Several packages are designed to address your specific needs. Ultimate Breasts includes breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction – separately or in combination-for the most beautiful, natural looking results.

If childbirth has made some changes to your body that you would like to correct, the Mommy Makeover package provides the right combination of tummy tuck, liposuction, breast lift or implants as well as cellulite treatments to transform you from “new mom” to “hot mom.” About Face turns back the hands of time with the appropriate combination of facelift, eyelid lift, rhinoplasty, chin reshaping and more.

If this isn’t the time for a surgical procedure, a Liquid Facelift requires just 20 minutes to restore and contour the cheeks, eyes, jawline and lips to refresh and rejuvenate the face. My cutting-edge device Morpheus8 remodels collagen on the face and body to eliminate fine lines and wrinkles while improving skin tone, texture and laxity for a more youthful appearance.

Now that the kids are back in school, this is the perfect time to have the cosmetic procedure or treatment that you’ve always wanted and start on the path to a younger looking you!

MacArthur High School Wins Levittown Cup

BY JAMES ROWAN

levittown@antonmediagroup.com

T

he best of Levittown soccer was on display at MacArthur High School on Labor Day. The Generals hosted the annual Levittown Cup, which was the opening game of the high school season for both MacArthur and Division.

The Levittown Cup has long pitted these rivals but the game also serves as a celebration of Levittown soccer.

Many of the players—on both teams— were former youth teammates playing in the Levittown Soccer Club.

“Playing against our cross-town rival was an intense experience,” said Brendan Connolly, Division’s striker and captain. “We put in a lot of work to prepare for this season but we always know this game will be one of the most memorable and hard fought games of the year.”

Indeed it was.

MacArthur’s athletic offense was swarming early in the game. Cristian Perez Franco, James Eden, Matt Cassidy and Jason Tordy were flooding the offensive zone, using speed to apply steady pressure on the Dragons in the first 15 minutes. But Division’s goalkeeper Ethan Carbonell was up to the challenge, stopping every ball that came his way.

Assemblyman Dennis Dunne, a Division alumnus, attended the game and posted these thoughts on social media: “Both teams played like warriors.

Nothing to be ashamed of. I am so very proud of both teams. Fast, skillful, gutsy play. Extremely entertaining.”

The game was tense and hard fought. For 75 minutes, the two Levittown teams battled on equal terms. Then, in the last five minutes, things changed.

With 4:34 left to play, MacArthur’s Joe Ianuzzi

won a 50-50 ball at midfield. Iannuzzi carried the ball upfield and passed off to Perez Franco. Perez Franco took the ball down the right side and turned the corner on the goal line. Ianuzzi never stopped trailing the play, so when Perez Franco sent a ball through the box, he was in perfect position. Ianuzzi drilled a shot past Carbonell for a 1-0 MacArthur lead.

Just a minute later, Tordy gathered a ball at midfield and fed Kieran Weber. Weber dribbled and fired a shot from 25 yards out that went over Carbonell’s head and into the back of the net. Just like that, MacArthur led 2-0.

“I’m not going to lie, it

was awesome to come out with the win,” said Tordy, one of MacArthur’s co-captains. “Hopefully it will set the tone for the rest of the season.”

For most of the game, the storyline was each team’s defense. Mark Sierra, Ethan Kinkel and Christian Ramirez held the line for Dragons. In the net, Carbonell made eight saves for Division.

On the other side of the pitch, MacArthur coach Andrew Atkins credited his defense with stifling the Dragons offense. Division was unable to sustain any kind of attack against the Generals. Atkins pointed to goalkeeper Tyler Behr (three saves), center backs Joey Mahoney, Nick Del Grosso, Iannuzzi and Tyler Mormondo, as well as outside backs Giani Nino, Cassidy and Mike Powers.

The versatile Ianuzzi, Cassidy and Mahoney spent time playing both offense and defense for the Generals.

In the end, MacArthur won, 2-0. But both teams appreciated the hardfought effort against neighbors.

“It was bittersweet, it will be the last time that we will all be on the same field competing with each other,” Tordy said. “Some of the guys I haven’t played with for many years. It is always great to see them on the pitch.”

Added Division’s Connolly: “Competing against childhood friends and current travel teammates is always a unique experience because everybody knows each others strengths and weaknesses. But in the end we are all fighting for the Cup.” —James Rowan is a Levittown resident

Section 5. This local law shall take effect immediately upon filing with the Secretary of State.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your high self-esteem doesn’t mean you think others are less valuable than you. It only means you know what you can trust yourself to do. This week, you are more powerful than you realize. Just by showing up and doing your best, you contribute to the rising tide that carries all ships.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You see into a future that others are ignoring.

You correctly sense that it’s time to bring greater intentionality and dedication to a matter. This is even more urgent than it seems. The change you make will positively affect many. And if you don’t make it, many more will be adversely affected.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your cosmic gift of the week is an improved ability to delay gratification. You’ll think before acting and switch quickly from short-term thinking to long-range vision of possible consequences and benefits. This is no small talent. You will be the lighthouse that keeps others on course and away from dangerous rocky shores.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your emotions are as accessible as liquid from the tap this week. You have an uncanny knack for turning them up or dialing them down at will. What you don’t have, however, is the ability to choose what flows from this tap. Its connections are mysterious and deep. There’s no such thing as an incorrect feeling.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You will see what you expect to see, which makes it harder to see anything new. Even the new views, colored by what was advertised, are seen through eyes that have witnessed them already. For this reason, it is of utmost importance to go where you haven’t been and know very little about.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Sometimes, trying to be in the moment actually ruins your chances of achieving it. The hyperfocus on having the now experience forces presence out of the way, clouding the mind with questions like “Am I doing it right?” and “Is this it?” Breathe the moment in; breathe out your requirements of it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Miscalculations will be costly, so it’s important to get the math right the first time around. Double-check the address before you leave the house. Ask about hidden costs and things like delivery, tax and insurance. Most snags are avoidable, and your spirit of research and inquiry will bring benefits beyond financial.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Collaborations with people who understand how to collaborate will be golden. Trying to build with those who don’t observe good sportsmanship will still be better than going it alone, if only for the chance to favorably influence others. Lessons in teamwork are life-changing regardless of the result.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Plenty of people around you are reaping the benefits of the problem-solving and other work you do with your unique, marvelous brain. You deserve more credit than you get for this. At the very least, you should be giving yourself attention, care and resources to keep the mental energy flowing strong.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Since no one thrives alone, the skills that bond you with others are crucial to your prospering. Your accurate self-awareness shines among your many talents. The ability to understand yourself is at the core of this week’s success and will be the reason for your advancement in a social, economic or professional setting.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

In keeping with your human status, there is a gap between how you see yourself and how others see you. In your case, it’s a very small gap that continues to diminish because you are constantly raising your emotional intelligence. Your awareness will bring you many gifts, including relationship and financial opportunities. You’ll invest, cash out and then re-invest in an even more profitable sector. Scorpio and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 10, 31, 2 and 17.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The ones familiar with a certain kind of work know what it entails. Those who are naive on the matter will make unreasonable demands. It’s nothing to take offense at. If they are willing to learn, educate them. If they are not, cut your losses. What you give is too valuable to waste on immature prospects.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You want to give a pure part of yourself, but it’s a tricky thing to pull off. Self-consciousness sets in, which ruins the effect.

You can’t will this awareness away, but you can practice and get comfortable enough for insecurities to melt off. The more immersed in the present you are, the less self-conscious you’ll be.

Alice Cooper’s Fave Detroit Acts

It was during the local annual Cortez High an album Cooper felt could only be School talent show, but his roots lay in recorded in the Motor City.

Michigan. Having left the Wolverine “We decided we couldn’t do it in State when he was around 10 years Nashville, because that’s not the right old, Cooper returned a conquering atmosphere for a hard rock album,” hero many years later with his band, Cooper explained. “L.A. was not good Alice Cooper, after the quintet caught for that and New York was not good a break in California, recording its for that. The only place that really 1969 debut Pretties For You for Frank worked was Detroit. So we went to Zappa’s Straight label. Fast forward Detroit and at that point, the concept to February of this year and Cooper started taking place. Once we were looked to his birthplace for inspiration there, I said since we were in Detroit, via Detroit Stories, his twenty-first solo we should start writing the songs there outing.

LONG ISLAND WEEKLY

Five Fun Facts About Detroit

1

Detroit is known by a number of different names including Hockeytown, Tigertown, The Arsenal of Democracy and Paris of the West.

closer to the version that Mitch Ryder & the Detroit Wheels recorded, Stories finds Cooper hop-scotching through a Motown-inspired jam with Sister Sledge (“$1000 High Heel Shoes”), a loose-limbed cover of The MC5’s “Sister Anne” and a garage rock take on “East Side Story,” Bob Seger’s debut single with his first band The Last Heard. It’s a passion project Cooper dove into as someone well familiar with the blue collar, no-BS swagger Detroit acts have carried with them over the decades.

“The thing about Detroit was if you ask anybody, on a tour, Detroit is a target city,” he said. “You can’t go into Detroit with the attitude of, ‘Gee, I hope you like us tonight.’

You’d better grab Detroit by the throat and shake them because that’s what they want. They don’t want you to be polite. They don’t want you to be nice. They want you to be a hard rock band that means it when you get in town.”

4

Detroit has a floating post office, the J. W. Westcott II, which serves lake freighters along the Detroit River. Its Zip Code (48222) is used exclusively for the J. W. Westcott II, making it the only floating Zip Code in the United States.

—Dave Gil de Rubio

The following are Cooper’s three favorite Detroit artists.

Stevie Wonder

The Stooges

(1967-1971; 1972-1974; 2003-2016) “They were the original punks and their music still holds up today. Iggy has his own brand of theatricality that no one can ever touch.”

(May 13, 1950 to present)

The MC5

(1964-1972; 1992; 2003-2012) “Not only did they put on a great show, they were also extremely political and got everybody’s attention.”

“Being a harmonica player, he and Paul Butterfield were two of the best I ever heard. And I admire the guys who are lifers and like me he is a lifer. He started in Rock ‘N’ Roll and will end in Rock ‘N’ Roll.”
