Town to host cyber security forum The Town of Oyster Bay will host a Cyber Security Information and Opportunity Forum on October 22nd at the Morrelly Homeland Security Center, located at 510 Grumman Road West in Bethpage. The event will focus on cyber security awareness and serve as an opportunity to network with industry professionals for those looking for careers in the field, and is being held in partnership with the Workforce Development Board, LISTnet, and Hunter Business School.
“October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month, and I am proud that the Town is taking a leadership role in raising awareness for cyber security issues, as well as serving to help connect job seekers with employers in this field,” Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor Joseph Saladino said. “Taking control of your digital security is extremely important in this day and age, and this forum will help provide information, through keynote speakers and presentations, to help minimize
cyber risks, as well as introduce job seekers to the growing amount of work opportunities related to cyber security.” The Cyber Security Information and Opportunity Forum will take place on Monday, October 22nd from 8:00AM to 12:00PM. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from leading voices in the field of cyber security, including Ed Eisenstein, president of United Network Associates and former chief information See page 10
Joseph Bae was 23 years old when he came up with the idea of providing his own unique food menu to the public. He explored a couple of ventures that eventually fell through, before deciding to come to work at his parents’ delicatessen in Hicksville. “I have always been interested in the food industry, and I had a handful of menu items in mind that I thought would make for interesting culinary fare,” said Bae, who is now 29. “A while ago, I had spoken to a guy about opening a food truck, but that fell through, and I ended up working behind the counter at my parents deli.” That deli is called ‘House of Heros,’ a business that his family took over from the previous owner six years ago. His family is of Korean descent, but the deli is traditional in the sense that it sells the normal range of sandwiches including chicken cutlet, roast beef, tuna and ham sandwiches. It also sells slightly more eccentric items like a rice bowl and Korean based BBQ. “It’s a popular location, but I’d been hearing things throughout the community that people were upset because it closes too early, and there aren’t too many options in the area,” said Bae. “That’s when I decided to give it a new identity by opening the deli later, and offering up some new food choices to people. That is how Joe’s Scratch Kitchen was born.” He said that his menu is smaller and more thought out with four main items available to hungry customers. The core items he sells include a fried chicken sandwich where he brines the thighs in lemon juice, a Hawaiian pulled pork sandwich with his own unique BBQ sauce, a burger with American cheese, caramalized onions and garlic aioli, and Korean-style chicken tacos. “My whole premise is to not have to give people something fancy and made up, but something that is See page 10
