A New York State Appellate Court Judge gave Nassau Republicans permission to go ahead with their redistricting plan on Thursday, overturning a previous ruling by a State Supreme Court Justice on Tuesday. The ruling places a temporary stay on the orginal ruling blocking the plan and county Democrats and Republicans are scheduled to meet back in court on Wednesday when the case is heard by a four-member Appellate Division panel.

Last Monday Republicans in the Nassau Legislature outvoted Democrats 10-8 in favor of the new redistricting plan. The new plan will see three legislators represent The Five Towns instead of the area’s one under the current plant, District Seven Legislator Howard Kopel. Deputy Minority Leader John Ciotti’s Third District will gain portions of Hewlett and Woodmere, while nearly all of Inwood, as well as portions of Woodmere and Cedarhurst will be moved into the new District 19, which will have a new legislator.

“The bottom line is that the redistricting plan is wrong,” David Freedman, President of The Five Towns Democratic Club said. “If the courts in their wisdom decide that it’s acceptable, then there’s not a lot anyone can do about it. If that happens, you might see

Houses of Worship Looking to Shed Land, Property

BY SUSAN VARGHESE

Standard Associate Editor

The recent controversy regarding Temple Israel’s subdivision request with the Village of Lawrence has shed light on the changing demographics for places of worship.

Temple Sinai, previously of Washington Avenue in Lawrence, merged with Temple Emmanuel in Lynbrook, and are now known as Temple Am Echad. “Membership is challenged on Long Island in general and all over the country. I think it’s something that’s going to happen. It’s a shift in attitudes, a shift in membership, a shift

in where people live. Things change,” explained Bob Kahan, Executive Director of Temple Am Echad.

Temples aren’t the only one looking to sell, a for sale sign is planted on part of the property outside of The Trinity St. John’s Episcopal Church on Broadway in Hewlett. It has also been unofficially reported that St. Paul United Methodist Church on Broadway in Woodmere may be looking to sell or lease property as well. Church representatives could not be reached for comment.

James Rotenberg, President of Temple Israel explained that the temple is over 100 years old,

but membership has dwindled over the years due to the changing demographics. “ It’s reduced from 1,000 families 10 years ago to 250 families now. We are a Reform and liberal temple, the last one in The Five Towns area and our members can no longer be expected to support that beautiful green field area on Central Ave for the benefit for the entire Village of Lawrence. “ Congregation Sons of Israel in Woodmere is looking to sell two lots with houses on them on Irving Place, but not for financial or demographic reasons. The two lots are 130 by 156, Property for Sale by Congregation Sons of Israel on Irving Place in Woodmere.

See-Saw Continues As Top Court Gives Green Light to Redistricting CONTINUED FROM P. A1 a federal civil rights lawsuit. In light of that, I think the whole issue will become a federal one. It becomes not about gerrymandering, but how to construct a district in the right way. I think the Democrats will probably win on that, but the big question is whether the federal courts will issue a restraining order.”

With candidate petitioning for this year’s election beginning on June 7th, the new ruling breaths life back into the plan that had previously looked like it wouldn’t be approved in time to be used this year.

Reacting to Thursday’s hearing, Kopel cited his lack of knowl-

edge of redistricting law, but has heard positive news for the Republican side. “The people who really understand this issue better than I do are very sure that it’s going to come on the side of the new lines,” Kopel said.

Additionally, Fred Brewington, a Hempstead lawyer filed a Civil Rights lawsuit in U.S. District Court for Eastern New York on behalf of a group of Nassau County residents, arguing that the new plan violates the 1965 Civil Rights Act on the grounds that the new map illegally packs District Two with minorities, among other issues.

“If the federal court takes the case, but doesn’t issue temporary restraining order, then Re-

publicans win,” Friedman said.

“There is a real potential for damage by allowing this plan to be in effect and I think the federal government will issue a restraining order. It’s a much more potent issue on the civil rights front. I suspect the federal courts will turn the process back to some sort of committee process in which the civil rights issue will become the big issue.”

“It may become a civil right matter, but I don’t think there should be any civil right issues,” Kopel said. “It was explained to me that there would be a civil rights issue if there wasn’t anything done. Right now it’s kind of a spectator sport for me.”

SPORTS REPORT:

“Subway Series” Final Set for Yeshiva Softball League Championships

By JONATHAN WALTER Standard Staff Reporter

L

awrence’s Ateres Yaakov Eagles are heading back to the finals to defend their Yeshiva Softball League Championship crown after they defeated the Shaare Torah Stars of Brooklyn 4-3 in the semi-finals on Friday afternoon at McDonald Avenue Park in Brooklyn. After a season built upon offense, the Ea-

the board, picked up a strikeout, gave up a walk, which scored a run, and then got a groundout to end the threat still retaining a 4-2 lead.

The Eagles had a similar scare later in the game when Rudansky began to struggle as well.

He allowed a walk, a single, and then another walk to load the bases once again, this time with no outs. The team’s closer Shemmy Feintuch then came in to work out of the jam and re-

gan in the top of the first inning, but the explosive HAFTR Hawks offense still had no trouble putting away Torah Academy of Bergen County 8-2 on Friday and move on to the Yeshiva League Softball Finals.

After their bus didn’t arrive, HAFTR players had to drive to the game in three vehicles, and TABC stalled the beginning of the game in order to allow all of the players to arrive.

“You have to give credit to the

corded a strikeout, drew and RBI groundout to the right side that scored the runner on third and made it a 4-3 game, and then got the final out on another groundout to send Ateres Yaakov to the Yeshiva League Finals to be played next Monday at 2:30 in North Woodmere Park.

“It was huge,” Korman said.

“They came in after our starting pitcher had a rough day, but we brought Eli in as our first reliever. He did an amazing job. He started wearing down a little bit. We brought in Shemmy, our closer, and that was it. We shut the door. Nothing.”

“This year was a struggle with pitching because the pitcher we had last year graduated and all of the games were close in a large part due to the pitching,” Assistant Coach Jerry Korman said after the game. “The umpire wasn’t being very generous with the strike zone, but our guys did a great job in relief.”

Korman filled in for Ateres Yaakov Head Coach Tsvi Hershenor, but Hershenor spoke over the phone after the victory.

“The guys came through with a big win,” Hershenor said. “They played tough and we’re looking forward to the championship game.”

other team,” HAFTR Head Coach Ari Glazer said.

After an error put HAFTR behind 1-0 in the first, Aryeh Pianko came through with a big hit for HAFTR our of the tenth spot in the lineup to tie the game.

HAFTR came through with the go ahead run and more later in the game when they were able to load the bases to start an inning with only one out. Then, on consecutive groundball plays, the TABC shortstop attempted to throw out the runner at home, but the catcher dropped the ball on both plays, allowing two runs in. Then, after a walk, Pianko strayed too far off first base on a pop up, but the TABC first baseman dropped the throw, allowing the runner on third to alertly score.

In the sixth inning, Shelby Rosenberg added to what was already a five run lead with a solo blast to center field that Glazer said “is probably still going.”

Jason Schlessel put up another quality start for the Hawks, allowing just the two runs over seven innings.

“Our guys played great on the field,” Glazer said, “and Shlessel, did a great job pitching. It took three hours to get back from TABC and we barely made it back before Shabbos, but it was worth it. It was a great game.

The bottom line is defense.

Shelby’s shot was nice, but that wasn’t the story.”

Farmers Market Opens In Hewlett CONTINUED FROM P. A1 Five Towns dignitaries as well as local community leaders, including legislator Howard Kopel, among others. In addition, the Woodmere Middle School Jazz Ensemble performed under the direction of band teacher Jonathan Holford for those in attendance.

At least 17 vendors were present at the market, some of whom sold kosher products.

More vendors will likely be added in the future. Several organizations will continuously host programs for children and local residents on the topics of science, nutrition, nature, recycling and sustainability, among others.

The market will continue through late November on a weekly basis each Friday and features only fresh products that the vendors make, bake, grow or catch themselves. For more information on the Long Island Growers Market, visit www.longislandgrowersmarket.com or call Ethel Terry at (631) 323-3653.

FREE EVERY FRIDAY Lawrence’s Ateres Yaacov Eagles gles came through with a win built on the back of some impressive efforts in relief. The win sets up a finals rematch against The Five Towns’ HAFTR Hawks as the Eagles try for back to back titles.

After falling behind 1-0 in the first inning, the Eagles got things rolling offensively with four consecutive hits in the top of the third. First, Avi Weinberg started things off with a single.

Then Moshe Wyner drove a double to left to put two runners in scoring position. Josh Burstyn then hit a run scoring single between first and second to drive in Weinberg. Shiman Puderbeutel then followed up with a double of his own, driving in Wyner.

Shlomo Farkas’s groundout to first scored Burstyn from third.

Gabi Kessler then drove in what would be the Eagles last run in the game with an RBI single that drove in Puderbeutel.

“It’s a huge win,” Team Captain Avi Korman said. “We’re going for a two-peat this year. We beat them last year. We beat them again this year. We have a solid offense, and if we can keep it up, I think we can win it all.”

Josh Friedman started the game for the Eagles, and was sharp for three innings, giving up just one run. In the fourth however, Friedman ran into trouble when he loaded the bases. Eli Rudansky came in relief and with one out already on

SUMMER FUN 2011

Cool Off and Mellow-Out with Summertime Cocktails and Wines

BY SUSAN VARGHESE

Standard Associate Editor

A

s summer approaches, there’s one key component to make every backyard barbeque and pool party a success – alcohol. With the abundance of wine and liquor stores in The Five Towns, The Standard has narrowed it down to three stores in Lawrence, Woodmere, and Cedarhurst, along with handpicked summer drink selections.

Liquor and Wine Warehouse At Liquor and Wine Warehouse in Lawrence, manager Eugene Goldshteyn noted that white wines are the best bet for summer.

Chardonnay, pinot grigio, wine cocktails, mojitos, and Long Island Iced Teas are perfect for the summer.

Goldshteyn recommended Or Haganuz Ice Wine, and described it as “a delicious semi- sweet red that can be enjoyed chilled on a hot muggy summer day.” Other choices include Margarita Pinot

Grigio, one of the highest rated pinot grigio in the world, or Kendall- Jackson Chardonnay, which is on the drier side.

“We also carry Jack and Coke, Jack and Diet Coke, and Jack and Ginger ale pre-mixed and ready to go. Stop by and pick up a freezing jack and coke and hit the road, but don’t drink and drive. “ Goldshteyn noted that for those that aren’t avid wine drinkers, “now is the time to open up and try new things. White wine is better for a hot day because it’s light and a summer staple is definitely chilled pinot grigio.”

Liquor and Wine Warehouse is a family run business and was opened two years ago by Stanley Goldshteyn. It is located at 343 Rockaway Turnpike in Lawrence. (516) 371-1133.

Ready made and easy at Chateau De Vin

Peninsula Wine and Liquors

Summertime means a lot of mixed rinks according to Chateau De Vin owner, Moshe Fink. ‘We have a line of ready made mixed drinks that are kosher specifically the Daily’s line and are good for pool parties. We also have semi-dries, white zinfandels, and some rosés from Israel. ‘ Some of Fink’s personal wine picks for the warm weather and Shavuot include Recanati Rosé, from Israel and semi-dry ($15), Baron Herzog Jeunesse in red or white, semi-dry ($11), Tishbi, semi-dry ($15), or Danue Passion Fruit Wine ($25).

“Drinking makes people happy. According to the Jewish tradition, wine gladdens one’s heart,” Fink noted.

Fink bought Chateau De Vin 10 years ago and noted that it’s an entirely kosher store. It is located at 544 Central Avenue in Cedarhurst. (516) 374-9463.

Vodka is on its way to being the new poolside commodity with new flavors like Dutch caramel and bubblegum, Peninsula Wine and Liquors owner, James Cari noted.

When it comes to burgers and steaks, Cari recommended red wine like a Pinot Noir. “It’s got enough body to stand up to the steak and not too overpowering to kill a hamburger. To grill fish, I’d go with a lighter wine like a white pinot grigio,” he said.

Despite Five Towners’ love for wine, Cari noted that margaritas are still a popular and classic summer drink. “In this neighborhood, people try to make their own fresh margaritas. Others like the convenience of a pre-made margarita, and just add some tequila to give it an extra kick.” When making margaritas at home, Cari’s personal pick of tequila is Avion Anejo ($52 for gold) and a dash of orange liqueur like Grand Marnier or Cointreau ($42.99).

Cari opened Peninsula Wine and Liquors in 1999 and offer free delivery. The store is located at 208 Franklin Place in Woodmere.

From The Editor:

Special Issue

Y

ou may have noticed that this edition of The Standard has come to you a few days earlier than usual. We hope that getting a good thing sooner is OK. The reason is re-

ally quite simple, the Jewish holiday of Shavuot (The Festival of Weeks) falls right smack dab in the middle of our typical production cycle, Wednesday and Thursday this week.

We are a fairly new paper, in fact this is just our twelfth issue.

Working on Wednesday and Thursday only really impacts me as I’m the only Sabbath-observant Jewish person at the paper, but be-

VOX POPULI

ing such a young paper we’re not ready yet to produce issues without the Editor being around. To make our lives a little easier and to make this issue interesting, we decided to go with a themed edition focusing on “Summer Fun.” What you’ll find in these pages is our comprehensive look at all kinds of fun things for you and your family to do around Nassau this season. We hope you’ll find it enjoyable and useful.

IT IS ONLY 400 MILLION DOLLARS, NO QUESTIONS PLEASE.

By GEORGE SAVA

We’ll be back next week on Friday, June 17th with a standard Standard with all the departments and features you’ve come to expect and in all the usual places in the paper you expect to find them in.

Meanwhile, please share your thoughts about this issue (or any of our recent issues) with us at Letters@StandardLI.com. Please support our advertisers (who help make this newspaper possible) and let them know you “saw it in The Standard.” For our readers who are celebrating Shavuot we wish you a very Happy Holiday filled with joy and meaning and not filled with too much food.

Ethics Reform

G

overnor Andrew Cuomo officially announced a deal with state legislators on Monday for a package of sweeping ethics reforms for members of the Assem-

bly and State Senate that will finally part the curtains of potential conflicts of interest and possible corruption on the part of our lawmakers.

The “Clean Up Albany Act of 2011” creates a 14-member Joint Commission on Public Ethics with extensive authority to investigate

O

n May 31, 2011, the Nassau County Legislature passed a bill that will allow a public referendum on a new coliseum and development project. As many of you are aware this new proposed project by County Executive Ed Mangano and supported by Supervisor Kate Murray will necessitate a bond in the projected amount of $400 million. The bill passed 11 to 7 almost entirely along party lines. Legislator Howard Kopel was absent from the vote.

So, whereas we had the Lighthouse Project which was a larger project to be financed by the developers, a plan obstructed and prevented by Supervisor Kate Murray, we now have a reduced plan to be financed by us the taxpayers, a plan supported by Supervisor Kate Murray.

Although it is no secret that I fully supported the Lighthouse Project and I strongly support new development in Nassau County, I am somewhat leery when millions upon millions of taxpayer dollars will be forced into a project of which we have received no clear information. I say forced because what we know is only what we have been told by Mr. Mangano and that is that the project will only cost $400 million and that it is good for

George Sava was the

both the executive and legislative branches and to weed out anyone trying to cash-in on their power and position. Especially those in state government who are also attorneys.

The new law will require lawmakers to reveal the names of any clients they have as well as the clients of their law firms or their employers that do business with the state. The 212 members of the legislature will have to disclose the amount and sources of their

the County. So good in fact that it requires an August 1st vote when many of the residents, of whom Mr. Mangano professes must be heard through the ballot box, are unable to provide a voice because it is a vacation period for thousands.

The excuse is that Mr. Mangano wants the electorate to be fully focused on the bond vote and thus he is willing to spend millions on this special election. You can decide for yourself whether you believe the line, but I don’t. I believe it is nothing but an attempt to squeeze through a project without having to provide any necessary details or answer any real questions. The new County mantra seems to be, “spend now and hope for the best.”

Consequently, I will ask my questions in this column. My first question is what happens if there are cost overruns? Look at any new stadium or arena construction project and find out how many went over budget. There are too many to list, especially when you factor in Stadiums, so for this article I will focus on just a few similar type venues: NHL Carolina Hurricanes, Entertainment and Sports Arena, cost overrun $26 million; Cleveland Cavalier’s Gund Stadium, cost overrun $76 million; New Jersey Devil’s Prudential Center, cost overrun $65 million; and the list goes on.

Therefore, since it is completely logical that there could be cost overruns, is that an expense we as the taxpayers will have to endure? If so, how?

Will overruns necessitate a new bond or will the County simply factor the additional expense into our general real estate taxes?

My second question is how will the County renovate the area’s infrastructure? Various infrastructure hubs, such as water facilities, are old and in

money, ensuring that that money is not coming from folks trying to buy their influence.

This is a radical departure on how people will conduct their lives and their professional business,” Cuomo said. To put teeth into all of this another provision would strip pensions from public officials convicted of felonies related to the abuse of office.

Presently, Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, one of the most powerful people in New York government for decades now has not had to reveal where his income is coming from and whether people are hiring him or his law firm based on his position with the state. It is generally understood he is earning seven figures a year at a major New York law firm. It will be edifying to know who his clients are. The new ethics bill will put a damper on no-show “rainmaker” jobs at big law firms for top state leaders as those clients or potential clients with business before the state will now have their client status revealed to the public. A recent report by the New York Public Interest Research Group shows that nearly one in five state lawmakers is an attorney, which, while a lower percentage than attorneys in Congress is still a significant number.

These new laws will head-off potential conflicts of interest and potential “soft bribery” well before they might be tempted to happen.

This has been a very productive legislative session with the legislature actually passing their first on-time budget in decades along with agreeing to the much needed and sought-after Property Tax Cap. Unlike the gridlock plaguing so many states right now in these dire economic times, the Assembly, Senate and Governor have been a model of bi-partisan efficiency, actually accomplishing things for the people they represent. While we still need major tax relief, not just a cap on increases, this session has been a step in the right direction.

On Flood Insurance and Israel

By Carolyn McCarthy

eing a member of Congress is an honor, a privilege and a responsibility that no one should take lightly. Every week we go down to the nation’s capital and are given the opportunity to make a real difference in people’s lives, whether through something abstract like securities law or something very visceral like our military policy. No matter how big or small, one thing binds all of these issues for me: the responsibility to fight as hard as I can for the people of the Fourth Congressional District.

Several issues are especially important to the readers of this new newspaper. There’s the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s mandatory flood insurance program, which is certainly a burden for many homeowners. There’s also our nation’s support for our closest ally in the Middle East, Israel. There’s also the increase in airplane noise in our communities near JFK Airport, and, last but not least, the fragile state of our economy

Carolyn McCarthy is the Congresswoman for the 4th Congressional District, covering parts of Nassau County including the Five Towns. She is a member of the Education and Workforce Committee as well as the Financial Services Committee, and is ranking member of the International Monetary Policy and Trade Subcommittee.

and the efforts of both government and the private sector to bounce back.

Due to space limitations, I’ll give an update on two of these topics, and address the other two in an upcoming piece.

Flood Insurance I’ve been working steadily to bring as much relief as possible to homeowners affected by the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s flood insurance program. I recently won bipartisan passage in committee of an amendment that, if made into law, will save homeowners significant amounts of money in the future.

Currently, many homeowners in Nassau County are paying for mandatory flood insurance at reduced rates in a relief program that’s set to expire in 2013. These special rates are hundreds, and sometimes thousands, of dollars lower per year than full market rates. My amendment to HR1309, the Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2011, would allow homeowners to continue to pay reduced rates for another five years.

Meanwhile, I am looking at ways to make sure that maps used to determine flood risk for Nassau County, which are now inexplicably modeled using projected data from Suffolk County, are as accurate and fair as possible.

omeone who had not seen my youngest in a while commented on how much she has grown, how big she has become. “Time flies so fast,” she said. Semi-perplexed, I looked at her and smiled.

With a tilt of the head and a bit of a squint, I said, “Maybe for you.”

While some may have favorite stages of their children’s development that they enjoy more than others, I do not have a preference. There is something about each that is exciting, yet often nervewracking. A first step, the first day on a ‘big kid’ school bus, or a first time taking the car, each milestone poses challenges for both child and parent. I think the goal for the parent, however, is not to let them see you sweat. Freak out on the inside, but keep it cool and collected on the outside.

The emergence of a child’s language skills is incredibly significant, that first ‘Mommy’ or ‘Daddy’ cherished for years to come. The family competition as to whose name can or will be spoken next, coming in second place is still a coveted spot. Especially among the siblings, the calling of one’s name by the youngest in the family whose vocabulary is incredibly limited is a badge of honor.

Though it does not actually represent a child’s preference for one sibling over the other, it is used as bragging rights.

Each Wallach child has his or her own a ‘theme song’ we sing at bedtime. With plenty of tunes out there, and even more Disney productions replete with catchy lyrics, there are more than enough songs to go around. My youngest, however, has customized a tune. Called, ‘My Mommy Loves Me ‘Cuz I Don’t Talk Back,’ the title says it all.

While her language was developing as to be expected, she was juxtaposed against five siblings who, shall we say, all use their words.

My children must have been parrots in their past lives, repeating everything they hear, their words traceable to the exact person or television show from where they originated. My son has been heard screaming, “Dang it!” and “You have GOT to be kidding me!” in moments of complete frustration. Noticing an untouched and last Oreo at the bottom of an otherwise empty package, a remark of “More for me!” was uttered by my daughter right before she gobbled it up. Theses words are not theirs – they are mine, and they are coming back to get me.

It was only a matter of time until my youngest began to really talk, ‘No’ her favorite word, only to be accompanied by the shaking of her head for emphasis. As she swipes my phone off of the kitchen counter, she can be heard screaming, “NO!”

THE LEGENDARY DANNY O’DOUL

Holy Schnitzel ! – Batman – Will The Kaibosh Of The Bambino Be Broken ???

Y

ou know, I can’t tell you precisely how many times I wake up in the morning and say, “Legendary – you know what I could really go for today?...a really first-rate fried chicken schnitzel with a nice Israeli salad!” Well, at least after my “breakfast cigar” and double-strength cup of coffee. Well, you know what else? Until now, there has been no Glatt Kosher restaurant near HAFTR High School in the Five Towns dedicated solely to this mallet-pounded, breaded and seasoned, savory, Israeli-European fried chicken cutlet. And, if you ask me, its arrival is not a moment too soon! Although, after meeting Mr. Holy and Mr. Schnitzel earlier this week, I am unhappy to report that its arrival will still be “sometime during the summer.”

However, as a placard in a famous restaurant once read “Good Food Takes Time to Prepare,” sometimes, good restaurants take time to plan, design, build, tweak a menu, market

and perfect during a few “dress rehearsals.” Oh, and then there’s dealing with the “Kaibosh” – the Curse of the Bambino – that has, unfortunately impacted every prior owner of this location – on the outer reaches of The Avenue adjacent to Denny’s and Tomer’s Jerusalem Market, which features some of the greatest homemade Israeli baking, salads, millions of special delicacies imported from Israel each week, and even a wide menu of handcrafted Middle-Eastern regional favorites such as “Kibbeh, Cigars, Falafel, Pastels and spicy sausage.

So, during our lively conversation outside the new “under construction” restaurant, I asked Holy and Schnitzel whether they really wanted to “go through with this – and how had they strategized to confront and ultimately, beat – The Kaibosh of the Bambino?”

I was pleasantly surprised at how they had carefully planned their menu – yes, not just “chick-

en schnitzel,” but other Israeli specialties and “make-your-own salads.” But, perhaps, their most potent “secret weapon,” is that they will serve their foods “with love,” meaning dole out huge portions and respect the quality of their offerings, as well as, treat their customers, of any age, as if they were important guests in their home.

And, you know what else?

Holy and Schnitzel are marketing geniuses – they will be working to poll the teens at nearby HAFTR High School on what kind of “lunch specials” they would like to see and what special events, including outdoor “musical buskers,” and maybe even a huge street musicfest to be called “SCHNITZELPALOOZA” where they will converge music, fashion, and art – including The Foo Fighters, My Morning Jacket, Kings of Leon and Shloimy Dachs reunited with Uncle Moishy.

Vans and Ray Ban “Wayfayer” will sponsor along with Gilt. com and Jack Threads!

Who knew Schnitzel could save the world and, more interestingly, salvage a remote part of the strip on The Avenue and, most importantly – break the Kaibosh of the Bambino!

THE ZEITGEIST WITH HOWARD BARBANEL

GOURMET IMPORTED COKE

O

ne of the things about working in publishing or the media are the long and sometimes odd hours, it’s not exactly a 9-5 job.

Thanks to my Blackberry (being sarcastic here) it can sometimes seem like a 24/7 job. Journalists are known to be big consumers of caffeinated products.

We have two coffee machines here in our office that get a lot of use. I’m not a coffee guy (never cared for the taste) and generally shy away from caffeine in general but sometimes you just need a jolt to get over the hump at some strange hour of the day or night.

My stimulant of choice on those rare occasions when I will indulge is classic Coca-Cola. But, I’m very particular on what kinds of Coke as would befit someone who spent 18 years in the wine business. For me, Coke is best on thick glass bottles. Somehow, plastic bottles or cans diminish Coke’s taste. Cans make it tinny and plastic makes it flatter to my palate. Obtaining Coke in thick glass bottles isn’t as easy as it was back in the day as glass costs more to make, more to fill, more to pack and most significantly in these times of high energy costs, more to ship.

In light of that you probably won’t be surprised to learn that Coke in thick glass carries a premium price just about anywhere. Here in The Five Towns, Key Food in Woodmere generally carries six packs of the little glass bottles, the kind that were so ubiquitous decades ago.

These don’t come cheap and I tend to sip them sparingly like some rare vintage Burgundy or Bordeaux. Lately there is an alternate source of glassed-in Coke – at many area convenience stores (such as the 24-hour shop

down the block from our offices on Broadway in Woodmere) one can now find 12-ounce tall bottles of Coke smuggled in (I mean “imported”) from Mexico.

These bottles are the Holy Grail of Coke as the Mexicans use real cane sugar (the original, original recipe) instead of the hated high-fructose corn syrup which has helped turn America into a nation of obese burghers. These bottles absolutely look and taste the way Coke did in 1968. They also are priced like fine vintage wine at $2 a bottle. Compared with the cost of a latte at Starbucks, I suppose that’s something of a bargain however. I remember buying these bottles from vending machines for a quarter, but then I also remember candy bars for a nickel, (yes, they were that price in the mid to late 60s) Good Humor ice cream for a dime, pizza for 25 cents, the Atlantic Beach Bridge toll for 10 cents and the subway for 35 cents (late 70s).

My ultimate Coke experience is even harder to come by these days and that’s at a genuine soda fountain where they mix Coke syrup with seltzer and even better, will make you a real cherry Coke with Coke and cherry syrup. There just is something so intrinsically American about a juicy burger with lettuce, tomato and onion with a fountain Coke that foreigners will never fathom. These days in an effort to keep trim, I rarely consume any kinds of soda, let alone Coke. But when I’m having a Coke, I want a Coke, not some diet thing with chemicals that purports to be a Coke.

Way back in the day I used to like Dr. Brown’s Cel-Ray when it was also made with real sugar and only came in big glass bottles that could only, tantalizingly be obtained at kosher delis and never at supermarkets.

Today, the plasticized corn syrup version is a pale imitation of

its original self (ditto with the cream soda) along with the quality of much kosher deli in general.

There was a time when men were men, women were women and pastrami, corned beef and brisket came piping hot out of steam trays and were so moist and tender from the steaming that it would melt in your mouth. The meat had fat in it (no one asked for lean pastrami – please!) and the rye bread had real onions, garlic and/or seeds permeated and infused throughout the bread, not just as some decorative ornaments on the exterior crust. Chopped liver was made with chicken fat and pickles, peppers and sauerkraut were so pungent you would wince from taking a bite.

And the people who ate this stuff all the time (not just once and a while as we do these days) somehow managed to live well into their 80s (or so it seemed) and beyond without working out, aerobics, spinning classes or marathon running. (Granted, they didn’t look too good though…).

One reason for this diminution in the quality of much deli is because the old timers who but their body and soul into smoking and curing their own corned beef and pastrami were just as smart and talented and driven as their progeny who now are some of the nation’s top financiers, attorneys, real estate moguls and movie producers. But they never had the educational opportunities our generation did, do they did deli.

Homogenized standardization and mass-market production is the rule of the day, but still, once and a while with a “contraband” Mexican bottle of Coke imported from Monterrey one can kick back and feel that all is still right with the world,

Hewlett High School Prom 2011 Seniors Celebrate on Sunday Night

Seniors and their dates enjoy dinner at Chateau Briand.

Seniors and their dates pose together after dinner at prom.

ewlett High School seniors celebrated the end of high school at prom on Sunday. The night began with preprom, at the residence of Arvin Maskin, father of senior Sophie Maskin, at 165 Willow Road in Woodsburgh, where

seniors congregated, took photographs together and piled into limousines and party buses to travel to prom at Chateau Briand in Carle Place, which started at approximately 8 p.m. The night culminated in Senior Night, an annual event designed

to provide a safe post-prom environment for seniors and their guests. This year, Senior Night was held at Dave and Buster’s in Westbury where the students were able to play games and win prizes.

Seniors Nicole Tannenbaum and Elan Yochai stand together at prom.

Houses of Worship Looking to Shed Land, Property CONTINUED FROM P. A1 and have been zoned residential and commercial. Executive Director, Harriet Gefen explained, “We’ve had the building for sale for a while. It was rented by Peninsula Counseling Center at one point a long time ago, and right now it’s up for sale. There really is no reason, we had it leased for quite some time, it’s extra space that we purchased many, many years ago, we just decided to sell it, it’s a space that we’re not using right now. Some places may be looking to trim down expenses, but that’s not the case for us.”

As for the current situation between Temple Israel and the Village of Lawrence, it’s currently at a standstill. Temple Israel has filed a petition with the court, Rotenberg said. Rotenberg explained that when apply-

ing for a subdivision request, it automatically gets denied and gets referred to the Board of Zoning Appeals who looks at various factors on whether or not to approve the subdivision. “The initial application and denial is fairly straight forward, no issues. But, the village has been sitting on this a long time. They ask for more information and we immediately responded.

They were just stretching it out,” Rotenberg said.

“We believe they don’t want to issue a denial letter to avoid going to the zoning meeting because there are no zoning meetings scheduled for the summer,” added Rotenberg. “What should be a normal and automatic type of thing is taking much longer. We believe that the village is playing politics in

an effort to prevent the library from coming to our campus.

That is why we filed the action.”

According to Rotenberg, the temple has offered to sell the land to the village, but the Village of Lawrence has declined.

“We house a number of activ-

don’t quite understand why the village is creating such an impediment towards what seems to be fairly common around the Village of Lawrence, and that is just using space.”

Officials from the Village of Lawrence could not be reached

for comment.

Joan Lepelstatt, president of the Peninsula Public Library said, “We can’t move forward at all until that’s been settled. The library project is in limbo until the village and temple work out their differences.”

VOX POPULI

It Is Only 400 Million Dollars, No Questions Please CONTINUED FROM P. A8 need of serios renovation. Under the Lighthouse Project the developers planned to renovate the County infrastructure in and around the new development.

With this new taxpayer funded development, however, our elected leaders are silent as to the infrastructure renovation.

So let us say we build the new stadiums and a local water facility fails, who pays that bill and what are the potential costs?

My third question is this, whether Nassau County residents will get the jobs created by this new taxpayer funded development? If the taxpayer is footing the bill the County should ensure that local companies and residents benefit from the potential jobs that will be created.

Will this be the focus or will this simply entail finding the lowest

bidder so we can watch outsiders come into Nassau County, get paid from the bond money and then take that money back to their own communities? If the County is putting up the money, the County should have a say in who gets the jobs. Is this even a factor for Mr. Mangano?

My fourth question is after the completion of this project, are average Nassau residents going to be able to afford to actually go to an Islander’s game? In professional sports today the average fan is simply getting priced out of the stadium experience.

Try to take a family of four to a football game or baseball game and you will find yourself out hundreds and hundreds of dollars. We as the taxpayer should not be in a position where we pony up the money for this development and after learn that we can’t even afford to go to a

single game. What assurances has Mr. Mangano put in place to guarantee that the average fan and taxpayer will be able to enjoy the fruits of their money?

Sadly I have many more questions and not the space in this column in which to ask them.

My point in this article is not to convince you whether you should support this development or not, that is an individual decision. What I do ask is that you demand that residents’ questions be answered and that the County properly set forth the full scale and potential ramifications of this project so we as a citizenry can make an informed decision. So far, although Mr. Mangano has moved slowly when addressing the specifics of this project, he has moved lighting fast in order to plan a vote. We deserve better and we should demand it.

LEGISLATIVE VOICE

On Flood Insurance and Israel CONTINUED FROM P. A8 predictable developments in the stability and security of the Middle East and North Africa, especially as they relate to the security of – and America’s support for – our best ally in the region, Israel.

Last month, I wrote to President Obama this year on the topic of America’s support for Israel’s security. Specifically, I called on President Obama to suspend all aid to the Palestinian Authority for as long as the PA was in its new partnership with Hamas, a terrorist organization with an open, violent hostility towards Israel and the United States.

Since then, President Obama further shocked me and my constituents by urging Israel to negotiate with the new PA-Hamas alliance on a two-state solution

that starts with the area’s 1967 borders. I spoke out against this dangerous idea immediately, even while many in Washington stayed silent or muted.

I also joined the effort, endorsed by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, calling on Secretary of State Clinton to tell the emerging leadership of post-Muburak Egypt that they must honor the country’s peace treaty with Israel.

There have been many more incidents – like the killing of a young family in Itamar, or the interception of a ship carrying weapons to Gaza, or the most recent launching of rockets by Hamas into Israel – that I’ve spoken out against. You can read many of my statements on my Congressional website.

Many of my constituents

know that my background isn’t politics; it’s as a nurse. A violent shooting tragedy turned me into a public health and safety activist, which led me to challenge my then-Congressman – and win. This has given me a unique perspective to this job. I know what it’s like to be disappointed in government, and I know what it takes to get government working for the average citizen.

Needless to say, serving my constituents in Congress is a responsibility I take very seriously, and with great pride.

Thank you for your time and attention. As always, my staff and I stand ready to help you in any way we can; please don’t hesitate to call or email my office at (516) 739-3008 or through http://carolynmccarthy.house. gov.

DEAR THAT'S LIFE

Time Stands Still CONTINUED FROM P. A8 when I ask for it back as I chase her around the house. Or, when offered food she does not want, the “NO!” is followed by tossing the item overboard, only after it has been ripped to shreds. Even with a limited vocabulary, she is making her point very clear.

Let’s just say, her theme song is over.

Exhaustion does not bring out the best in anyone, let alone children. At the end of a long day in Manhattan, my children were dog-tired and completely spent.

Carrying on, fighting, one crying and another screeching, it was not our finest moment as we tried to regroup on a street corner on the East Side. Standing near a fair haired gentleman that we did not know, his light eyebrows shielded behind his sunglasses, he watched the scene unfold and my children unravel. This time using words all his own, my son looked at him and said, “You have no eyebrows.”

Luckily the man laughed, while I smiled nervously, keeping cool on the outside but dying a slow death inside.

As they continued with their antics, my husband and I wiped out as well and not at our best, I turned to the nice man who took it all in. “It seems we are all speaking the same language,” I said, “but not making any sense.” He smiled. “Do you have children?” I asked, my daughter’s crying taking on a whole new intensity. “Only one,” he said, “but luckily, she does not talk yet.” Now it was my turn to smile. “Enjoy it while it lasts,” I said with more than a touch of sarcasm. “It will be over before you know it.”

THE ZEITGEIST WITH HOWARD BARBANEL

Gourmet Imported Coke CONTINUED FROM P. A9 that we’re heading off to a barbeque or for deli in my late grandfather’s block-long white Cadillac Se-
