RESIDENTS ENDURING RUST AS LOCAL WATER COMPANY PLANNING TO RAISE RATES

A.B. LIFEGUARDS GET NO PAY FOR LUNCH BREAKS

For the Village of Atlantic Beach, there is such a thing as a free lunch, but the village’s lifeguards won’t bite.

Atlantic Beach lifeguards are angry that the village won’t pay for their lunch breaks. This was the main topic of spirited discussion at an Atlantic Beach Village Meeting Monday evening. Last year was the first time in the village’s history that the lifeguards of Atlantic Beach were not paid for their lunch breaks.

“Lifeguarding [is an] emergency service,” Anthony Runco, a beach commissioner who has been a lifeguard for several years, said in a speech to the audience. “Now, how

Water quality in the Village of Lawrence has been a major issue for some time now — iron deposits, according to Lawrence Mayor Martin Oliner, have plagued his village since he moved there 20 years ago. Lawrence residents have been further upset by a lack of response by utility company Long Island American Water and their recently proposed rate of increase of almost 20 percent.

The increase, a 19.5 percent jump since the last raise in 2007, comes at a time when Lawrence has not seen much work done in the area and local water problems continue to worsen.

“We lose more hot water heaters, pools are getting stained,”

said Oliner, while he displayed two water filters he had received from an upset resident.

Both filters, barely a month old he said, were browned and discolored. “Obviously, this isn’t drinkable water.”

Ronald Krigsman, an engineer from Herrick Road in Lawrence, said he has faced the problem for years with no solutions in sight. He had a filter installed on his house this year and saw what he described as “chunks of enormous black” come out of the line when a plumber cleared it.

“I don’t know what’s in there, but it can’t be good,” he said.

Krigsman has replaced his filter a few times this year, almost every two months. Each replace-

Cedarhurst Sidewalk Sale Brings Out the Shoppers

skirt in the Boltons’ sale racks. “ It’s a great event in the community and the sales are great. There’s stores you don’t normally walk into and now you know what they have.”

A representative for the Russian Division of the Jewish Community Center, Yulia Gross noted that the Sidewalk Sale is the perfect way to connect with the community. “ We’re here to let people know about existing programs and what kind of services we provide. It’s a good opportunity for us to meet with the community.”

Gila Gensler, a Cedarhurst resident and sidewalk sale shopper joked, “The sales are wonderful. I really don’t shop on Central Avenue, but this is my little holiday. I have a feeling I’m going to end up with a skirt.”

The Variety connection owner commented that this is the third year that they’ve been doing the sale. “Every year we have different times, but our Kooky pens are really popular.” The colorful pens have different faces and wacky hair, which the owner noted was popular with kids. They’re originally $4.99, but were $2 during the sale.

Shopping can finally be guilt-free, at least during Cedarhurst’s 23rd Annual Summer Sidewalk Sale. The sale, which is organized by the Cedarhurst Business Improvement District, started on Wednesday July 13, runs until Friday, July 15, and includes numerous retailers presenting big discounts.

The start of the sale on Wednesday was welcomed by warm weather, abundant sunshine, and even some live music from the group, Agua Clava. They play music that’s a fusion between South American Folk and Andes music, and are long overdue for a Cedarhurst visit. One member added, “The last time we were here was about seven years ago, but we enjoy playing here.”

Among the various vendors, Peek-a-Boo Kids offered up to a 70 percent discount on some children’s’ shoes. “ It just brings people around that usually don’t come here,” noted Peek-a-Boo owner, Baruch Moscovici.

Lawrence Mayor: “They Have My Cell Number” Zucker Out on Bail

From being born to Holocaust survivors in a displaced persons’ camp in 1940’s Germany, to becoming the mayor of the Village of Lawrence; Martin Oliner is living the American dream.

Oliner grew up in Brooklyn and received his J.D. and L.L.M from New York University. “ It all started with the show, Perry Mason,” Oliner reminisced. “I was four or five years old, and I always wanted to be a lawyer. Education is what’s going to make the world a better place.”

Before becoming mayor, Oliner became involved as a trustee 10 years ago. It was as a frustrated commuter, however, that Oliner got his start. “They were building a new million square foot facility next to the airport and I was concerned that I’d never be able to go to work by car because of the traffic, which is our biggest

When the village didn’t respond, Oliner took the matter into his own hands. “I hired a traffic consultant on my own and got involved with Senator Skelos’ and Assemblyman Weisen-

berg’s office and through the good efforts of both, I was able to convince the Department of Transportation to hold up a curb permit for this new million square foot project…I was able to redesign the project with engineer, Sam Schwartz, so that there is a 300 foot turning lane, so that the security office is back 400 foot instead of at the front, and they added two other exits. I was able to get traffic mitigation by way of a right hand turning lane on Brookville Boulevard.”

Changing traffic conditions is something that Oliner takes pride in, he noted. “There’s a tremendous sense of satisfaction and accomplishment when you’re able to add a traffic light or add a turning lane…when you can actually see your efforts take fruition.”

Oliner said that the two big-

Former synagogue treasurer Isaac Zucker, accused of embezzling over $600,000 from Congregation Aish Kodesh in Woodmere, was released from a Nassau County jail Tuesday night after posting bail of $150,000 in cash.

As previously reported, Zucker pleaded not guilty to allegedly stealing $612,000 since February 2008, according to police Isaac Zucker documents. He was back in court Thursday, where the case was adjourned until Sept. 23.

According to the Nassau County district clerk’s office, Zucker had been in Nassau County Correctional Center in East Meadow since June 29, when he was arrested at a Holiday Inn near the Long Island MacArthur Airport for alleged grand larceny in the second degree. He was arraigned at the First District Court in Hempstead the following day.

The congregation had discovered what was occurring by June 16, and according to a congregation spokesperson, virtually all of the money in Aish Kodesh’s endowment fund was embezzled. The operating account had initially looked fine, said the spokesperson for the congregation, but the congregation was unaware that checks were being diverted and that the endowment account was being transferred into his own account.

Before his arrest, the synagogue had not heard from Zucker since June 24.

oth Republicans and Democrats in the Nassau County Legislature wrapped up electoral petitioning for this November’s election this week under bizarre circumstances.

Petitioning was due on Thursday, but confusion over redistricting has left parties uncertain which map will be used, the old district or the controversial proposed districts that were recently approved by the legislature in May. A ruling by the

New York Supreme Court to determine which maps will be used is expected to take place Friday.

Democratic Legislators took the Republicans to court over their proposed plan and there has been back and forth rulings

by Supreme Court and Appellate Court judges since, with a Supreme Court judge ruling in favor of Democrats twice and the Appellate Court overruling the Supreme Court’s ruling in favor of the new plan on both occasions.

he Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) will continue to work on power lines on Central Avenue in Woodmere and Broadway in Hewlett for at least the next week, bringing with it backups and delays for drivers as LIPA work crews take up the side of the road.

The substations in Hewlett and Far Rockaway are being upgraded in an effort to “improve system distribution and reliability” due to a growth in the amount of power used by the local area, according to LIPA spokesman Mark Gross. Woodmere and Hewlett will see a majority of the upcoming work,

especially along Central Avenue and Broadway. Delays will almost be certain with LIPA trucks taking up the sides of the road to work above and under ground.

“Customers who will be affected by this work have already been or [are] in the process of being notified,” said Gross. LIPA is working with residents to make sure generators are up and running and make sure there are little in the way of service interruptions.

Work on the same issues was recently completed in Lawrence and Cedarhurst on Central Avenue last week.

According to Gross, LIPA has not set a completion date for the project yet.

North Woodmere Pool Hours Reinstated

By Jordan Friedman

A

s a result of Five Towns residents’ concerns over changes in

the hours of the North Woodmere Park Pool, Nassau County Parks and Recreations have reversed their decision, once

again opening the pool 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on weekdays and 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on weekends and holidays.

According to Brian Nevin, senior policy advisor and communications director to Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano, Nassau County Parks and Recreation had altered the open hours of the pool to 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. everyday of the week to align the hours of all Nassau County pools.

“After doing that, we heard some concerns from the Woodmere community that a lot of community residents

had used the pool at a later hour; the previous later hour,” Nevin said.

The decision to change the hours of the pool back to its original hours was made July 8.

Bruce Stiefel, a North Woodmere resident, wrote in a Letter to the Editor last week that the initial changes in the hours made the pool unusable during the week for children who attend day camp and for adults who working during the day.

“We are always very responsive to the community,” Nevin said. “We heard the calling of the community and we reversed our decision.”

tion under the Nassau County Charter, while Republicans have countered that expediting redistricting efforts was necessary in order to avoid a lawsuit under the Voting Rights Act, saying that new census data indicates that under the old map, minorities are left disenfranchised.

Democratic candidates filed their petitions this week under the old district lines, banking on the court ruling in their favor tomorrow. Republican candidates however, have collected petitions for both sets of maps in an attempt to cover all bases.

“I believe they did it in both,” County Legislator Howard Kopel, a Republican said. “They overlapped the old and the proposed map. So they got the signatures. Just remember that the same judge ruled on it twice and it was reversed twice in the appellate division. This is just conjecture. All I’m saying is that’s what happened twice so far. He seems to tend towards the Democrats positions, but I don’t have the expertise to predict what will happen.”

James Darcy and Anthony Santino Town of Hempstead Board Council, 3rd and 4th Districts Voted AYE to hire Cynthia Iacopella as the new assistant director of the Hempstead Town Animal Shelter. She was selected after an extensive nationwide search conducted by a committee of key Hempstead Town administrators and which included expert consultation and guidance from renowned animal rights organizations. The bill passed by a unanimous vote on July 12, 2011.

Voted AYE to approve a new development zone for the lighthouse development site, on the 77 acres of property surrounding the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum. The new zoning district, which was crafted by the Town, was presented to the council members and the Supervisor as an alternative to the Lighthouse Project in an environmental report. This zone provides for vibrant, mixed-use development that is sustainable and will additionally complement the suburban character of the surrounding communities.

The bill passed by a unanimous vote on June 21, 2011.

Human Services, established by this law, addresses the needs of youth, physically challenged, the aging and those in need of mental health and chemical dependency services. The bill passed the Nassau County Legislature on June 6, 2011 by a recorded vote of 16-0 and became a law on June 14, 2011.

Voted AYE on Local Law No. 5: “To amend the county government law of Nassau County, in relation to merging the department of planning into the department of public works as a division of such department.” According to the bill, the County Planning Commission should be comprised of nine voting members appointed by the County Executive. It also includes one non-voting member appointed by the Commissioner of Public Works, called the Director of Planning, who will supervise the Planning Division. The commission advises and reports to the County Executive to ensure that the County will be physically harmonious, economically sound and environmentally sustainable and socially beneficial.

The bill passed by a recorded vote of 407-6 on July 7, 2011.

Voted YES on H.RES. 1309: To extend the authorization of the national flood insurance program, to achieve reforms to improve the financial integrity and stability of the program and to increase the role of private markets in the management of flood insurance risk. With this act, homeowners will continue to pay reduced rates for flood insurance for another five years, with the savings phasing out over a period of time. Another amendment in the “Flood Insurance reform Act” causes FEMA to inform members of Congress when there are changes or updates to a flood plain area or flood risk zone. These acts will help residents of flood zones in Nassau County whose maps were not individually tailored for their exact location but modeled using data from Suffolk County. The bill passed by a recorded vote of 269-146.

Lawrence Mayor: “They Have My Cell Number” CONTINUED FROM P. A1 gest “quality of life problems” in the village are water quality and traffic. “Anybody who lives here knows about the water…. The water company has to add a facility that takes the iron out of the water and if they’re not willing to, they need to work with us to allow us to do it.”

As far as traffic is concerned, Oliner said that the need for change is not just about congestion or chokepoints in the road.

“I’m working on adding another lane on Rockaway Turnpike because that’s the emergency exit for most of the South Shore of Long Island. God forbid if there was an emergency, we would need an extra lane.”

Over the past few months, the village has been in the limelight from litigation over different matters with Temple Israel and with Mezza on The Green.

“I can’t comment about litigation, but my investigation of the matter has indicated that the village has done the absolute right thing in connection with Temple Israel. In connection with Mezza on the Green, the village

did everything right and if you read the public record which is the village’s answer to the complaint, you’ll also understand that the village has acted professionally and appropriately. Obviously, I’m looking forward to both matters being resolved as soon as possible because litigation is a failure on the part of everyone involved. “ As previously reported, the village gains $115,000 in revenue from the parking meters on the street, $126,900 in parking lot meters, and $400,000 in court fines and parking tickets, for the 2010-2011 year. However, Oliner maintained that it’s not about the money. “For us parking, it’s not a money making proposition. There are just a limited number of spaces and because of the age of the village, we can’t add more spaces. We have meters because we want people to stay in a limited amount of time, otherwise it wont bode well for merchants.”

Another challenge to the village, Oliner said, is rationalizing the expenses and income of the golf club. “We’re trying every initiative to increase membership

and functionality of the golf course. We’re looking at maybe adding an art exhibit; expanding it, and bringing people in so that they can enjoy its unequaled beauty. It’s an oasis at Kennedy Airport,” joked Oliner.

Oliner, who lives across from Village Hall, seemed unaffected by what appears to be a lack of privacy, noting that he can run across the street for a snack or a soda. “It’s very convenient. I even get residents stopping me on the street and knocking on my door but that’s what I bargained for and that’s fine. They also have my cell number.”

Although he’s traveled extensively (Jerusalem, being his favorite), met with former President George W. Bush, President Barack Obama, and even the Prime Minister of Greece, George Papandreou, Oliner seems most content with spending time with his wife, Reva. “She’s known as the walking red head in The Five Towns. Each of us try to do six mile walks before dinner.”

When asked if he would ever consider moving out of The Five Towns, Oliner replied, “Nah, this is home.”

Atlantic Beach Lifeguards Get No Pay for Lunch Breaks CONTINUED FROM P. A1 does pay for an emergency service work? Police are always on call; they are paid for their meal periods … Firefighters are always on call; they are paid for their meal periods. Lifeguards are always on call. Yet as of last year, we are not paid for our meal period.”

Dressed in uniform – white shirts with a red “Atlantic Beach Lifeguard” logo on the back – lifeguards distributed flyers stating their position at the meeting, in addition to vehemently voicing their concerns and sparking a heated debate. Runco opened the discussion, explaining that the current policy violates federal law.

The flyer distributed at the meeting states that according to the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 29, Part 785.19, in order for the meal period to be unpaid, it must be uninterrupted by work.

“However,” the flyer notes, “our lunch hour is often inevitably interrupted by work, especially towards the end of the summer when two lifeguards per beach is the norm.”

Runco explained that this year, Atlantic Beach received only 38 applications for the lifeguard position, as compared to the approximately 100 applications it received last year.

“When lifeguards are told that they are not paid for lunch … they seek work elsewhere,” said Runco during his speech to the audience. “There’s no financial incentive to do a good job – even though we do do a good job.” One lifeguard insisted that last year, Atlantic Beach lifeguards were not informed they would not be paid for their lunch break until they arrived for duty their first day.

Atlantic Beach Mayor Steven Mahler disagreed with the lifeguards. He asserted that Atlantic Beach does not have the necessary funds to pay the lifeguards

during their lunch breaks, as the money is used in the village for other reasons as well.

“We have a budget, we have a municipality,” he said. “We have to account for our residents’ money.”

The lifeguards also pointed to several other beaches nearby – such as Long Beach, Westbury, Silver Point and the Town of Hempstead – all of which the Atlantic Beach lifeguards said pay their lifeguards for lunch hour work.

Village Attorney Charles Kovit said that in Hempstead, lifeguards are paid so long as they “remain on call and on the beach and ready,” but the lifeguards present at the meeting explained that this is precisely how they, too, perform their jobs.

One lifeguard exclaimed, “Today, [two other lifeguards] and I ate a pizza at the [lifeguard] stand, because we had 30 kids in the water.” Another said, “I’ve eaten lunch on the stand for the past 10 days.”

However, Mahler noted that some beaches do not pay their lifeguards on an hourly rate, but rather for the day as a whole.

Still, the lifeguards commented that “neighboring lifeguards are working for four hours and getting paid eight hours, while we may be working eight hours and getting paid for only seven hours,” as the flyer states. Lifeguards at neighboring beaches, according to Runco, are paid when they are on-call, as in during their breaks, since lifeguarding is an emergency service.

“Lifeguards, like police and firemen, are not only paid for what they do; they are paid for what they might have to do,” Runco said.

After a period of debate, trustee Linda Baessler said, “I don’t think it’s an unfair request. I think we should address this issue.” When a resident asked Mahler what the timeframe for

addressing the issue would be, Mahler did not specify.

Aside from the controversy surrounding lifeguards’ pay, other residents voiced their concerns over traffic on their own streets. Recently, the Village of Atlantic Beach changed several streets near the beach clubs, off of Atlantic Bouelvard, to “oneway” towards Atlantic Boulevard. Acapulco Street, Bermuda Street, Coronado Street, and Daytona Street are now all oneway, while Eldorado Street is the only two-way route to Pacific Boulevard, besides The Plaza, near the beach club area.

One resident of Bermuda Street said she is angered by the fact that she received no notification of the change. “I totally disagree with how it was handled. We should have been notified. I’ve lived there 13 years, and not one phone call, or something in the mail. We’re talking about 15 houses on that street.”

Another resident, who lives on Eldorado Street, said much of the traffic ends up on her street as a result of the changes, since Eldorado is still a two-way street. She held up a petition with the signatures of several of those who live on the street.

“We would like to make it a oneway street, too, for the summer months. Cars are going 45 miles per hour – I’ve been clocking it,” she said.

The Mayor said that each week, residents come in with an opposing point of view and that there is “no absolute solution to these problems.”

Other residents voiced concerns over parking, since Atlantic Beach residents are limited to only three guest passes for parking on the streets each summer, a topic that has continuously appeared at these meetings, according to Mahler.

Atlantic Beach has also seen an increase in the number of parking tickets it has distributed over the past month to 87.

et on its own three acres in the middle of Lawrence, Rock Hall Museum is like a walk-in time capsule — a piece of history able to be relived over and over.

Built right before the American Revolutionary War in 1767, the formerly 300 acre, two-anda-half story Rock Hall stands as a testament to both time and its original owner, wealthy West Indian plantation owner Josiah Martin. Martin and his son, Dr. Samuel Martin, were loyalists to the King of England and the mansion would be occupied by American troops during parts of the war. The mansion would later be bought up by Thomas Hewlett in 1824. In order to supplement the cost of the mansion’s mortgage, Hewlett took up many odd jobs in the area including a shipwreck salvager, renting out portions of his farmland, and using one of his rooms as a sort of bed-and-breakfast. The Hewletts would later

deed the home to the Town of Hempstead in 1948, and it would be opened as a museum in 1953 and was listed under the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.

Every room inside of Rock Hall Museum looks as if it had been left alone since the 1800’s — desks, chairs, and beds neatly in their place and awaiting their next use. In Dr. Martin’s bedroom, his original trunk still lies untouched at the foot of his bed awaiting his next journey. “We don’t have too many things original to the house, but we have a few,� said Carol Mauriello, a museum assistant. Other original items include a hunt painting and harp in the ladies’ parlor room. Guests of the Hewletts on July 4, 1825 scratched their names into a window pane in the same room which still stands the tests of time.

Underneath and outside the house, excavations have been undertaken by volunteers and some Hofstra University students have turned up old seashells, broken glasses, and pipes.

Lawrence Cemetery Padlocked and Neglected Text and Photos

By Scott P. Moore

S

ome turned over tombstones and sinking graves are the remains of the Lawrence Cemetery on Rockaway Turnpike, the final resting place of many of the area’s first residents and many generations of local families.

Unlike the nearby St. Mary of the Sea Cemetery, just north of the Long Island Railroad tracks, the gates to the nearly 200 year old cemetery remain locked at all times, stopping all visitors.

After being partially restored in 2003, the cemetery has become a sort of forgotten relic, locked up and falling apart.

“It was really good, really strong,” said Elyse Craft, a para-

The graves of PFC Monroe Hicks and Louise E. Baker sit untouched inside of Lawrence Cemetery. legal attorney from Commack who spearheaded the Lawrence Cemetery Restoration Project throughout the early part of the last decade. “We wrote everybody and attended village meetings looking for help.”

The cemetery, located at 150 Rockaway Turnpike just south of the LIRR tracks tucked behind an office building, was in a state of disarray after a combination of vandalism and nature took their toll on the cem-

etery. Surnames such as Abrams, Hollister, and Pearsall appear on the stones, many of which date back into the 1800’s and as far as 1833. Craft noted the site of at least one Civil War veteran in the cemetery and a young woman with the surname “Lawrence,” suggesting the idea she might have been a part of the founding families of the area.

The state of the cemetery in 2001 for Craft was “upsetting.”

Grave stones and monuments were toppled, some had graffiti scribbled on them, and poison ivy had moved in to the area.

The last known official burials in the cemetery were about 12 years ago.

“The place was a wreck,” said Craft, whose parents lived in Lawrence during the 1940’s.

Craft, along with others from the village, helped raise funds to restore the cemetery through yard sales, grants, and donations. The group had amassed $25,000 at one point, some of which was spent bringing in heavy equipment to raise some of the heavier stones and putting them back into place as well as improve security by installing gates and having the LIRR fix their fencing.

“We worked hard for three years and accomplished a lot,” said Jane Andrews, a former Woodmere resident who now lives upstate in Fishkill. Five generations of her family, which includes the Andrews as well as the Abrams families, are buried in Lawrence Cemetery.

The group scraped the project

in 2003 after much of the work was undone.

“We left and came back about 20 days later and the stones were turned down,” said Craft. Andrews said seeing their efforts toppled in a matter of weeks “really knocked the wind out of our sails.”

Soon after, the church across from the cemetery, which owned the land, changed the locks on the gate, putting a halt to the restoration work. The cemetery is still locked and public access is only by request and the church is now owned by the Christian Missionary Alliance.

“It’s very discouraging to see the work gone,” said Andrews. “I know it’s just a grave, but when it’s someone’s mother or father, it’s sad.”

Ed Mangano: Nassau’s Peripatetic Chief Executive

By JONATHAN WALTER Standard Staff Reporter

E

dward Mangano manages Nassau County by wandering around, jumping from one local event to another, and here at The Standard we have the pictures to prove it. Any given week you can bet that Mangano floods us with more press releases detailing the many countywide events he attends than anyone

else, and that is saying something considering the plethora other local politicians and organizations who send them.

Mangano has us wondering if he runs Nassau County from his car on his iPhone with the way he gets around. Take one look at Mangano’s Twitter account and Facebook page and you’ll figure out pretty quickly that he knows his way around Nassau County. From the Memorial Day Weekend Air Show

at Jones Beach to the 10th Annual Mansion Ride for Autism, he keeps busy.

“I attend over two dozen events per week throughout our great county,” Mangano said. “Many of the events are planned weeks if not months in advance.”

With all of the events Mangano attends, he runs on a tight schedule, but assures his constituents that he can properly manage his time.

“It’s important to hear the concerns of our residents and respond to their needs,” Mangano said. “Good managers and a good workforce is how I find a balance as County Executive. Listening to people is the key to effective proper representation. One must understand the people’s needs and wants to understand and act on their concerns.”

Mangano listed honoring veterans on Memorial Day, recog-

nizing gold star mothers whose sons paid the ultimate sacrifice to defend our nation’s freedom and also celebrating the birth of our nation in Eisenhower Park as his favorite events so far this year.

“A fraction of my time I spend attending the many wonderful and important events throughout the county but the majority of the time I spend administering government,” Mangano said.

“I would rank it up towards the

top because I truly enjoy attending the many events. It is great to get out and meet so many of the great men, women and children of Nassau County. It also gives me an opportunity to hear about the issues that are most concerning to our residents.”

With over two-dozen events in the county every week, there are plenty of opportunities to spot the County Executive in his travels, so keep your eyes peeled.

Hit The Ceiling

elevision news this week has been awash in President Obama’s dire threat/prediction that if the national debt ceiling is not raised by Congress by the August 2nd deadline that social security and other benefits checks may not go out.

The debt ceiling is the maximum amount the Federal Government is permitted to borrow. Think of it as the credit limit on your MasterCard or Visa. If your limit is $5,000 and you’re already carrying a balance of $4,950 and need to charge another $500, you either need to get authorization from the credit card company for an expansion or increase of your credit limit or your new purchase will be denied.

Right now the U.S. is very close to maxing out on its credit. The limit is $14.3 trillion. Just for points of reference, take into consideration that in 1996 the debt ceiling was $4.9 trillion. In 2005 the debt ceiling was at $8.19 trillion. From 2007 thru early 2011 when the Democrats were in control of both houses of Congress the debt ceiling has risen from $9.8 trillion to today’s $14.3. That is an increase of $4.5 trillion or an average of $1.125 trillion a year in increased indebtedness and overspending. Just so you know, a trillion is a thousand billion. By comparison, the entire budget of the State of New York for the next fiscal year is $131.7 billion. New York City’s budget is $65.7 billion. That means that you could run New York State for over seven and a half years on just one trillion dollars.

And New York’s spending is ridiculously high.

According to the Congressional Research Service “The debt limit… provides Congress with the strings to control the federal purse, allowing Congress to assert its constitutional prerogatives to control spending. The debt limit also imposes a form of fiscal accountability, which compels Congress and the President to take visible action to allow further federal borrowing when the federal government spends more than it collects in revenues. In the words of one author, the debt limit “expresses a national devotion to the idea of thrift and to economical management of the fiscal affairs of the government.”

The government is drunk with spending other people’s money – your money, our money. What the President is seeking is a more than $2 trillion increase in the debt ceiling – meaning he wants to borrow another $2 trillion and ramp the ceiling up to over $16 trillion. To supposedly pay for this he wants to raise our taxes, particularly on “the rich,” meaning folks and small businesses earning more than $250,000, which, we’re sorry to say, in New York doesn’t make you rich especially with the over 50 percent in federal, state and local taxes you’ll be paying on that quarter mil.

The stand-off between President Obama and The House of Representatives, more pointedly, with the Republicans is over the whole notion and philosophy of debt and spending. The GOP wants commensurate spending cuts to equal out borrowing. The Democrats want to raise taxes and spending. The GOP wants an end of deficit spending, advocating for a balanced budget amendment. New York State, New York City and Nassau County are all required by law to have a balanced budget, but not the Federal Government.

The American people spoke quite clearly in the 2010 Congressional elections. They want fiscal probity.

The President is using scare tactics to try and pressure Congress to pass a higher debt ceiling. The government will not be broke on August 2nd, taxes come in every day. Social Security has a trust fund.

Money will be there. It’s just that the government won’t be able to borrow and spend any more than they already have – they’d be maxed-out on credit.

The President could ask for a temporary debt increase for August and September while negotiations continue with Congress but he’s thrown down the gauntlet and wants the whole $2 trillion-plus and is ready to scare seniors, veterans and the disabled to do get it.

We think Congress should stand firm and not buckle to this kind of pressure. We urge them to pass a one or two month extension, send it to the President and let him decide if he wants to hit the ceiling or not. Congress should also pass spending cuts concurrent with the increase in spending. This is no time for weak knees and in this economy this is no time for increased taxes and trillions in more spending that we can’t afford.

Some Good News

his week the House of Representatives passed the Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2011 (H.R. 1309) which will have a direct salutary impact on area homeowners who are compelled by FEMA to carry expensive flood insurance, particularly in areas that historically have not been prone to flooding and are not near water.

The act extends reduced rates for mandatory flood insurance for another five years beyond it’s initial expiration date in 2013. The rate discounts save considerable amounts over full market rates.

Another amendment to the bill requires FEMA to notify Members of Congress when they’re making changes or updates to a flood plain area or flood risk zone. These two additions to the bill were authored by Congresswomen Carolyn McCarthy. Good work looking out for area homeowners.

Another good thing in the act is the provision for installment payments, enabling homeowners to spread out the cost of this expensive additional coverage. But the real issue of concern to area residents is the arbitrariness and lack of precision in determining flood zones and risk areas which show no real familiarity with facts and history on the ground here. Many residents feel beset by a Kafkaesque arrogance and detachment by FEMA. The real relief will not just be discounts and installment payments but rescission of many areas designated as flood-prone now that are not and precision in determinining risk areas based on real, up-close familiarity and not on Suffolk maps by Washington bureaucrats.

DEMOCRATIC VOICE

THE REALITY OF NATIONAL HEALTH CARE

By DAVID M. FREEDMAN

I

n the past year, I unfortunately needed to be hospitalized four times. Three of those times, I stayed in the hospital were for stays longer than 10 days and two of those visits required that I undergo major surgery. Thank G-d, I am much better, but I received during this process an education as to how our system of health care delivery really works and why it is so vital that universal health insurance be provided as a right in this country.

The total cost for my hospitalizations exceeded $150,000.00. Because I had health insurance which costs me $ 886.00 per month, my total out of pocket for all of the hospitalizations was $4,000.00. I pay $10,632 a year in premiums and add to that the $4,000.00 in out of pocket co-pays and the like and subtract that roughly $14.6k from the $150,000.00 billed out to the insurance company from the hospital and the doctors and the therapists and the labs and I “saved” around $135k. So on the surface; it would seem a good deal. Right?

Well perhaps, but not really. The first question

David M. Freedman has been a resident of Cedarhurst for 12 years. He is a business owner in the Five Towns and is currently the President of the Five Towns Democratic Club. He is a published author of a novel “A Butterfly on the Gowanus Expressway” and he maintains a political blog called Federal Follies located on the web at http://thefederalfollies.blogspot.com. He is married with two children and is active in the community both politically and socially.

that I must raise is what if I didn’t have insurance?

Not a pretty picture. I don’t even really want to think about it, but the reality is that there were times in my life that I could not afford insurance and went without. That is the modern day equivalent of playing Russian Roulette. Yet a large part of the population of this country plays that game of Russian Roulette every day with themselves and their families.

That alone is why this country must have universal health insurance. And it is why it must be mandatory. Because if one has to play Russian Roulette with one’s family regarding medical care then what the hell is this country really about.

This is a no-brainer.

Which raises the incredible question – Why is health insurance so expensive? The reason is very simple. We as a nation refuse to cap malpractice awards. Plain and simple! Any insurance company that is going to write insurance for your Doctor is going to charge that Doctor the most money they can get to limit their risk of a large award against that Doctor in a court.

But my friends, you might ask, how can we cap malpractice awards? Isn’t it unfair that someone who has been damaged by malpractice should not have the opportunity to get the most money they can get to assuage their pain and suffering? On the surface, this sounds so fair, but it is so counterproductive. If someone gets burned by their hot coffee in McDonalds are they entitled to a huge award for something that everyone agrees should be the responsibility of the person sipping the coffee? The reality is that the threat of unlimited high malpractice awards results in insurance

REALITY CORNER

South Sudanese and Palestinians: A Stark Contrast

By Jeff Katz

A

s the world celebrates the birth of its newest nation, South Sudan, it’s all too easy to point to parallels with the IsraeliPalestinian conflict and ignore the vast differences.

Many point to the U.N.’s success in Sudan in having avoided (so far) renewed all-out attack from the North, and in monitoring a largely peaceful January referendum in the South approving overwhelmingly (98 percent) independence from the North, as well as overseeing last week’s declaration by the South of independence and its immediate recognition by the North (as well as by the U.S. and Israel). And rightfully so.

Many (including the editorial writers of Israel’s Ha’Aretz newspaper online edition this past week) exclaim that, if only the U.N., based on the South Sudan example, would take ownership of Israel’s conflict with the Palestinians and the Arab world, a solution there too would be within reach. U.N. Secretary General Bon Ki-Moon’s magic touch

Jeff Katz, a Lawrence resident, was the Republican Candidate for County Legislature for the 7th District in 2005 and is an attorney and active in public affairs.

should be applied, they say, for the world’s benefit here too.

But the two situations are vastly different.

The South Sudanese had the courage to enter into a comprehensive peace agreement with their enemy in the North. In contrast, the Palestinians, when presented with their chance at Camp David in 2000 to sign a final peace deal, backtracked at the last moment and refused to sign. Whether it was Yasser Arafat, his Arab funders or others who nixed this chance for peace, we may never know.

But the bottom line is that the deal would have given the Palestinians over 90 percent of territories they laid claim to, and they rejected it.

It reinforced the notion that the Palestinians were not really all that interested in their own state. Sure, that would be nice, but it was only a secondary goal. The primary goal was to replace Israel, not co-exist with it. This was trumpeted in Palestinian Authority school textbooks that, even in the immediate aftermath of the Oslo Accords, never included Israel on any maps or elsewhere. (At the same time the Israelis were busy re-writing all their school textbooks to eliminate “offensive” Zionist references). Even Arafat’s headdress (kafiyeh) was in the shape of all of the land between the Jordan River and Mediterranean Sea, an important symbolic statement of Palestinian intentions. The

There is nothing like a water park to better one’s selfimage. That is just the reality. Regardless of how bad you think you look in a bathing suit, you can bet that there is always someone who looks worse.

I am not sure what about water slides and tubing enables otherwise inhibited people to be stripped of all self-consciousness, and I do mean stripped. Neither a prude nor am I casting aspersions on others, I do imagine, however, that everyone owns a least one mirror. A quick check before walking out the door or out in public cannot be too much to ask. And if you don’t own a mirror, invest.

Men have it easy. No matter their waist size or body grooming stage, it all hangs out. Shirt off and bathing suit on, a man is set to go out in public. No one looks askance at the man walking down the path to the lazy river, regardless of what he looks like because it is accepted. The only exception to this rule is he who wears a Speedo. Even Michael Phelps wears a body suit. No continent should permit a “man’s bikini.” In fact, I propose that production on that model stop. Society needs to put an end to that bathing suit. As a rule of thumb, I believe that, “Less is more.” In the case of swimwear, however, more is more – and more is a good thing.

A woman, on the other hand, needs to be very well aware of her image and appearance. No female wants to draw negative attention to herself because of some physical neglect. As if women needed more reasons to be completely paranoid about how they look, the added scrutiny surrounding swimsuits is enough to transform the Loehmann’s dressing room of old to an easy, even enjoyable experience. Of course, buying a bathing suit and then having to try it on in a mass dressing room is not only potentially humiliating, but let’s you know way too much about your neighbors, if you know what I’m saying.

The beautiful thing about women’s bathing suits now, however, is that there are many styles available, one for every body type. Personally, I appreciate the options made specifically for tall women.

Having been called many different names, “petite” has never been one of them. I cannot imagine how a woman six or seven inches shorter was expected to fit into the same options as someone with my height, and vice versa.

The two best styles of which I have availed myself are the swim dress and the tankini. The swim dress should not be confused with the full body armor being shown by some neighborhood stores. That product is good for many people, may they enjoy their purchases for

THE ZEITGEIST WITH HOWARD BARBANEL

A MIDSUMMER NIGHTMARE: Rx For The Mets OVERZEALOUS ZONING CZARS F

N

ot very long ago, a biblical-style flood plagued and paralyzed The Five Towns during the High Holy Days and particularly effected the entire stretch of Peninsula Boulevard and its neighboring and bisecting streets.

Immediately after this natural disaster, which was further complicated by allegations and suspicions that honchos at JFK airport somehow diverted millions of gallons of rainwater from its runways and dams – into the residential neighborhoods of Cedarhurst, Woodmere and parts of Hewlett. There may be some truth to these rumors, but the homeowners effected by the flood still had to deal with just their insurance companies and were never reimbursed or assisted by the Town of Hempstead, or Nassau County. However, some homeowners took remedial measures into their own hands, in a valiant effort to prevent a repeat of the damage they suffered during this monumental deluge.

Personal friends of mine – let’s call them Jose and Sherri, whose backyard backs onto Peninsula Boulevard – suffered major flood damage to their den and needed to change the carpet, flooring and furniture in this part of their newly-renovated home.

As they had recently redone and expanded their ranch home into an expanded split, they had not yet put the finishing touches on their backyard – which included a lighted basketball court. As part of such “finishing touches,” the couple was in the process of building a tall, thick, concrete wall to replace the thin wood fence which had separated their backyard from Peninsula Boulevard for almost 20 years.

Their workmen were nearly done with the wall – now measuring almost eight feet tall -when a building inspector from the Town of Hempstead insisted that all work on the wall cease because it was concrete and too tall – in excess of the usual six feet – which necessitated Jose and Sherri to apply for and obtain a variance.

After the written variance application was completed by the frustrated couple, the day of the variance hearing arrived and

the Town of Hempstead Building Department reversed their course, praising the integrity, structure and workmanship of the wall – and even going so far as to urge them to finish the wall and proudly display it as a beacon to the community of an aesthetically pleasing, most effective method of keeping out any future running rainwater along Peninsula Boulevard. All in all, this was a laudable and honorable decision from the Town of Hempstead.

However, today in 2011, governmental intrusion into our private and business lives is at an all-time high, and, unfortunately, this occurs on a Federal, State and even local governmental levels. Therefore, we must be vigilant in demanding that our government respect our rights as citizens and residents of New York State and homeowners on the South Shore of Long Island.

Take this recent woeful tale from the Village of Lake Success, as an example of local municipalities and their building departments running amok and seemingly trampling upon the rights of their tax-paying homeowners.

My dear friend and mentor, the noted attorney, Perry Lubov, perhaps the most brilliant, talented and decent “Landlord/ Tenant” attorney to ever practice in the Housing Court of New York City, New York County, located at 111 Centre Street in Manhattan. Perry’s “out of the box thinking” and encyclopedic knowledge of both the codified law (including the CPLR) and relevant case law – was definitely unparalleled. A beloved fixture on the legal scene at said Court for many years, Perry suffered a mild stroke which resulted in him spending almost 100 days in a coma and confined to a hospital bed.

Finally, with much physical therapy and rest, Perry is now more mobile, but still suffers considerable pain, is mostly confined to his home and walks only with the aid of a cane.

Throughout all his ordeals, he did not wallow in self-pity, nor seek the sympathy of others.

No, he acted proactively to improve his physical condition – he had workmen top off his legal concrete deck with wood

This is The Legendary Danny O’Doul signing off and reminding you to “get up, stand up, stand up for your rights,” and, once more, I implore you to check out the GOP’s only hope in 20012 – Rep. Thaddeus McCotter of Livonia, Michigan - who wants to restore the former glory of this proud nation, resurrect our manufacturing tradition, and, of great interest to this neighborhood, is a staunch, vocal and eloquent friend of the State of Israel -- whom he has praised as America’s true friend and ally in the Middle East -- and has admonished President Obama and the United Nations on their quickness to forget this fact and abandon the region’s one genuine democracy!

and affix a safety railing around its perimeters, so that his young son would not get injured while playing on the deck. Also, in an effort to bring a bit of healthful therapeutic comfort into his life, he installed an outdoor Jacuzzi on the deck, so that his aches and pains could be, at least, temporarily alleviated.

No sooner did Perry finish the work on the deck and Jacuzzi, than he received a visit from the building department of Lake Success. Suddenly, they informed him that his heretofore approved concrete deck was no longer permissible because of the wood topping and child-friendly safety railing, and thus it exceeded the permitted size and he would need to seek a variance. Additionally, they rudely proceeded to give him a “cease and desist” order regarding his much-needed outdoor Jacuzzi, on the grounds that it was a “hot tub” which Village of Lake Success has forbidden anywhere outside of a home, regardless of its placement on the exterior of such property. Although many homeowners with “hot tubs” within the Village of Lake Success are currently fighting the “hot tub” ban, Perry has the distinction of having to fight two battles with the building department – all the while, trying to maintain and improve his physical condition and maintain his positive mental outlook.

If this wasn’t so difficult and strenuous a fight for Perry to endure in light of his current condition – it would be both absurd and comical – as the Village of Lake Success appears to be run by boobs and half-wits, who seem to be attacking the most vulnerable of its citizens in the name of arcane (and may I add, possibly un-codified) bureaucratic rules and regulations.

Well, if you think that the muddy waters of Lake Success can’t overflow and reach our shores here in the Land of Success – The Five Towns – think again! Just speak to some of the many affluent homeowners of the villas, mini-mansions and estates of Hewlett Bay Park, Woodsburgh and its environs – where tiny building departments foist their rules upon homeowners in connection with all aspects of construction, renovation and, even, driveway repair. So, hold your leaders – including village mayors – responsible and on the defensive and let them not go unchallenged -- never relinquish control of your environment to them. If you are not vigilant, then Democracy, as we know it, in these Five Towns will go the way of the “strobe camera-less” intersection, police-patrolled public parks and “free” municipal parking on the Avenue!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Time to Retire Murray To the Editor, As many are aware, in the last two years, large parts of Long Island were placed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency into the highrisk category for coastal flooding on maps implemented by FEMA in 2009. At public meetings over the course of the last year, in which FEMA officials were present, it was clearly demonstrated that the decisions made by FEMA with regard to these designations on the new flood maps vary between highly questionable to highly unlikely. FEMA claimed that there was historical data that supported their conclusions. In Valley Stream, they were asked to present that historical data with respect to coastal flooding and Valley Stream, and they could not show that coastal flooding

has occurred historically in Valley Stream. The engineering report they used was revealed at the Valley Stream meeting to have been a report focusing on the east end of Suffolk County with no direct studies of Valley Stream. The questions and doubts regarding FEMA’s maps and subsequent actions go on and on.

Those actions by FEMA include mandatory flood insurance at exorbitant rates for homeowners with outstanding mortgages or home equity loans. The new designations for affected homes severely impact on the homeowners’ ability to market their homes and demand sale prices comparable to those of homes not in the high-risk areas. Often high- risk and non-high risk homes border directly on each other. The lines on FEMA maps put gerry-

mandering to shame. An example is my daughter’s home. She is right in the high-risk zone, but her backyard neighbor is not. I imagine that FEMA believes that a coastal flood knows enough to stop when it reaches the edge of her backyard.

What is most disconcerting is that property taxes in Nassau County are based on assessed real estate valuations. The assessments have never been changed to take into account that many homeowners now own homes in the high-risk area in which the market values now vary between non-existent and much lower. These “victims” of FEMA continue to get tax bills based upon assessed valuations ignoring the reality that the value of their homes has been decimated by the acts of FEMA.

or better or worse, I’m a Mets fan and have been that way since I was a kid. Being a fan of any team created in the 1960s with an “ets” as the major part of its name is coextensive with being able to endure and be inured to vast amounts of disappointment and even pain. The Nets? Moved to Jersey and then they became terrible. The Jets? They moved to Jersey and for the most part became terrible. The Mets? Well, at least they had the good grace to stay in Queens but apart for sporadic flashes of brilliance, are often prone to disappoint.

The Mets are actually tied with the Dodgers as the fifth most popular baseball team in America – up one notch from the number six slot last year – this according to a nationwide Harris Poll of 2,163 adults conducted online between June 13th and 20th by Harris Interactive. The Mets have risen steadily from the number 11 slot back in 2008. Hated rivals the Philadelphia Phillies are only ranked at number seven and the particularly loathsome Yankees are at the top of the heap at number one and have held that slot every year consecutively since 2003, yet another reason to despise them. Boston came in at number two and Atlanta third in American popularity.

One of the greatest assets the Mets have going for them is that they’re not the Yankees. By virtue of this alone, they are guaranteed a loyal cadre of fans irrespective of their prospects in any given year. I’ve worn my Mets hat at Baltimore’s Camden

Yards (a great ballpark) and been high-fived by all and sundry in the stands and on concession lines. For Orioles fans, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

In Boston people give me the thumbs-up.

I’ve been to the new Yankee stadium with some good friends and felt like Christians might have when visiting Rome’s Coliseum back when the lions were playing there. (No, I didn’t wear my Mets hat).

This has been a year of less and zero expectations for Mets fans. Attendance is down by more than 140,000 for the first half of the season. The Mets ownership is besieged by lawsuits from the Madoff trustee looking for a gazillion dollars and the Wilpons also lost a ton of cash in the Madoff fiasco on top of this, which is definitely crimping their style and their cash flow. Hedge fund wunderkind David Einhorn is poised to put $200 million into the team but this hasn’t happened yet. The Mets have been saddled with some mighty expensive payroll obligations many of which are for dud players procured during the reign of former General Manager Omar Minaya who was a big believer in overpaying hyper retail price for fading stars, never-have-beens and never-will-bees.

In a year where so many of the team’s top stars have been on the disabled list (injuries are a constant plague for the Mets) surprisingly, as I write this during the All Star break, the Mets are actually over .500 (barely) but have been playing exciting, fun and scrappy ball manned by a team primarily composed of recent graduates from the Buf-

falo Bisons (the Mets AAA minor league club) and other minor league teams including their new manager Terry Collins who spent umpteen years in the minor league wilderness before landing the big job at CitiField. Collins has essentially pulled off the impossible by turning around the miasma of utter hopelessness, poor morale and dejection that pervaded the clubhouse for the past few seasons and delivering if not a pennant-winning season then at least a respectable one against heavily overmatched opponents.

Right after the All Star game the Mets traded away uber-expensive closer Francisco Rodriguez (“K-Rod”). K-Rod never lived up to his hype and generally delivered nail-biting and heart attack inducing performances in the ninth inning. Every team wants a Mariano Rivera so every team feels they need an expensive “Superman” closer to end the game. Realistically, there are maybe a handful of guys pitching today who fit that bill and the rest are wannabees and pretenders. Better for the Mets to rotate different guys from the bullpen into the ninth inning slot (or let a good starter finish a complete game, heaven forbid) and save the money K-Rod was getting.

Likewise as we approach the July 31st trade deadline the scuttlebutt is that Jose Reyes (probably the most exciting shortstop in baseball today) and Carlos Beltran may also be sent elsewhere. Reyes brings much momentum and drama to the team but he’s as fragile as a china doll

Synagogue Softball League Season Underway

T

he Synagogue Softball League has begun and local softballers took to the baseball fields at Lawrence Middle School for their second week of action on Sunday.

Young Israel of Hewlett took on The White Shul of Far Rockaway in what turned out to be a very controversial game with YIH winning 5-4 as they moved into first place. The White Shul, last year’s champions, had not lost a game going back through all of last season.

With YIH up 5-4 through four innings, a White Shul player came to bat in the fifth inning and hit a hard line drive down the left field line. It looked to be a sure home run with YIH outfielders chasing down the ball, but as the runner approached third base, the fielders threw their hands up in the air, signaling that they’d lost the ball in the shrubbery in front of the outfield fence, causing the umpire to call a dead ball and holding the runner at third. The White Shul would end up stranding the run-

Create Paradise with Frozen Cocktails

BY SUSAN VARGHESE

A

ttention all those who are over-worked, underpaid and in desperate need of a cold drink; there’s still hope for a little relaxation. From Rockville Centre to Long Beach, there’s a few places that offer classic margaritas, pina coladas, and other frozen cocktails to help take the edge off and beat the brutal summer heat.

include the Jamaica freeze which contains Dekuyper Luscious Melon Dew liqueur, Malibu Pineapple rum, pina colada mix and banana, garnished with pineapple and cherry.

But, there’s nothing that screams summertime

Guinness Stout and Mandarin Dreamsicle Milkshakes at T.G.I. Fridays “There’s a dance floor and a DJ. During the week, we have a live band on Thursday nights.”

Frozen drinks range from $8 to $10. They offer three sizes: The Good (the smallest), The Bad (medium), and The Ugly, which is their largest 24 ounce glass. The drinks can be paired with nachos ($7.95) or guacamole and chips ($7.95).

Cabo is located at 3 N Park Ave # A in Rockville Centre. (516) 255-0065.

Pictured from left to right: Miami Vice, Piña Colada and Strawberry Daiquiris at The Fishery

The Fishery This oyster bar and chowder house has an outside deck overlooking the water, which makes them a prime spot to grab a strawberry daiquiri, tune out the world and relax. A strawberry daiquiri or a Blue Hawaii, which is vodka and Blue Curacao liqueur, costs $8 (Dan, the bartender provides conversation and jokes for no extra charge).

Dan noted that it’s usually a 35-yearold and over crowd, and added, “…Our frozen drinks just taste good. They’re perfect for summertime and refreshing.”

There’s live music everyday between 7:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. in the summertime and always some mixed nuts and finger food at the bar. The Fishery is located at 1 Main Street in East Rockaway. (516) 256-7117.

Frozen alcoholic drinks start at $7. Applebees is located at 2530 Rockaway Turnpike in The Five Towns Shopping Center. (516) 792- 0100.

T.G.I. Friday’s offers the usual coladas and daiquiris, but they now also have milkshakes for grown-ups.

Shannon Gewinner, vice president of brand marketing for T.G.I. Friday’s said, “There’s no better way to beat the heat this summer than to stop by Friday’s and enjoy one of our classic frozen cocktails like the Ultimate Margarita or Ultimate Mango Daiquiri. For guests who want to try something new and cool off with something sweet, we recently introduced the adults-only Guinness Stout and Mandarin Dreamsicle Milkshakes.”

The Guinness Stout milkshake is vanilla ice cream, Guinness beer and topped with whipped cream and the Mandarin Dreamsicle milkshake is orange liqueur, vanilla ice cream and mandarin liqueur.

Drinks start at $7. T.G.I. Fridays is located in the Green Acres Mall in Valley Stream. (516) 599-4051.

Signature Mudslide at The Whale’s Tale

UPCOMING ENTERTAINMENT

The Whales Tale Minutes away from the sandy dunes of Long Beach, lies a seafood and oyster bar that can otherwise be known as an aquatic oasis. The bar’s bright blue walls are adorned with paintings of sharks and fish, and they have The Beach Boys’ “Fun, Fun, Fun” song playing in the background.

Its fine dining with a casual atmosphere. Starting at 5:00 p.m., theres live music every night, said bartender, David DeFilipino. DeFilipino creates signature frozen drinks like the Patriot (a blend of a pina colada and strawberry daiquiri), and his own signature Mudslide.

Frozen drink flavors like tropical punch, banana, and creamsicle are available and can be mixed with a liquor of choice.

“People like to drink all year long, but in the summer, sometimes the beach just doesn’t cool them off enough,” joked DeFilipino.

Frozen drinks start at $8. The Whale’s Tale is located at 916 W Beech Street in Long Beach. (516) 4329587.

One of Applebees featured margaritas is the Main Street Rita made with Sauza Gold tequila in strawberry, mango, or wild berry flavors. Other frozen drinks

The Best of This Week’s Post 11pm Wit

David Letterman

Conan O’Brien

Jay Leno

“The royal couple really immersed themselves in American culture while visiting. In fact, when they left, they were $2 trillion in debt.”

–Jay Leno “President Obama’s staff got raises of 8 percent, more than double the average for regular Americans, which is 3 percent.

But to be fair, many of them will be unemployed next November.”

–Jay Leno “A right-wing religious group in Iowa is now asking all the Republican presidential candidates to sign a pledge to remain faithful to their spouse. Isn’t that the marriage pledge?”

–Jay Leno “On Friday, a woman in Texas gave birth to a baby boy weighing in at 16 pounds, 1 ounce. When they did the sonogram, the doctor was like, ‘I’m not sure if it’s a boy or a girl, but it’s definitely an American.’”

Grilled Chicken and Falafel Platter

Kebobs and Falefel are Tip of Iceberg at Hapina For Kosher food that covers all the bases, look no further than Hapina in Cedarhurst. Located near Village Hall on Cedarhurst Avenue, Hapina offers fine dining as well as a fine location, especially when you’re hungry after an evening concert in Andrew J. Parise Park. With everything from shwarma to chicken gyros to falafel platters, manager Ari Lerner described Hapina’s menu as Middle Eastern cuisine, but their selection is extensive and they also offer over thirty different kinds of sushi rolls and an all you can eat salad bar.

“You never leave hungry when you eat at Hapina,” Lerner said.

Lerner first displayed the restaurant’s grilled chicken breast ($9.95).

“We do everything on an open

flame here,” Lerner said. “Everything is seasoned with our special recipe, a blend of spices that the owner Sammy created.”

Also featured was their beef and lamb shish kebob ($9.95).

“Our ground beef shish kebob is very popular,” Lerner said. “It is flavored with fresh parsley, cumin and other mid eastern spices.”

Sticking with the Mid Eastern theme, Lerner also featured a falafel platter ($6.95), which is made from ground chickpeas flavored with Mid Eastern spices, served with hummus and olive oil mixed with spices.

It comes with pita bread on the side.

Another side dish on display was the Moroccan Cigars ($6.95), a spicy ground beef in a phyllo dough that is deep fried.

Owl sends the whole gang on a quest to save Christopher Robin from an imaginary culprit. Pooh bear becomes busier than expected, as he had originally set out to find some honey.

Larry David stars in the HBO comedy Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Rx For The Mets

–Jimmy Fallon CONTINUED FROM P. A7

–David Letterman “Murdoch shut down News of the World, which was almost 160 years old.

It’s always sad when something that old comes to an end. It was like the last episode of ‘Larry King Live.’”

–Craig Ferguson Shish Kebob and Moroccan Cigars Hapina holds some of the latest hours of any restaurant in The Five Towns, open from 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. Sunday through Thursday.

They are located at 128 Cedarhurst Avenue. Contact them at (516) 2951800 for more information.

– injured nearly every single year for some stretch or another and he’s on the DL right now. Can Reyes stay healthy for the next five to seven years? My guess is not as he’s always under the weather for some period and he’s only 28. Beltran? He’s never lived up to his potential, he’s pushing his mid-30s and he also costs a fortune.

My sense as a fan who goes to and watches a lot of games is let’s clear out all the deadwood along with the highpriced hand-carved mahogany

– especially anyone and everyone associated with the ancien régime of Omar Minaya. That means high maintenance and temperamental pitchers like Mike Pelfrey. It means Reyes and Beltran. It also means David Wright who, while a heck of a nice guy and a good player, is no great player, no clutch player and no team leader. It means Jason Bay who was one of the biggest overpriced underperforming acquisitions of all time.

Sweep them all out. I know I speak for many fans when I say, “let’s watch the young up and comers.” Tampa Bay won a

World Series with these kind of guys. So have the Marlins. Let’s watch the hard charging Bisons out of Buffalo fight for stardom in the majors. It’s a lot of fun, it lowers the Mets owners’ costs, it lowers our ticket prices, it lowers our expectations, which in turn will lower our pain, heartache and disappointment.

Met fans would rather root for young bucks on their way up than overpriced, underperforming lugs and we don’t need to try and mimic the Yankees with one of the biggest payrolls in baseball because that’s a contest the Mets will never win.

–Jay Leno “The FBI is investigating after a stun gun was found on a flight to Newark, New Jersey. They think a passenger planned to use the stun gun on himself when he realized he was on a flight to Newark, New Jersey.”

–Jay Leno “Hitler’s birthplace in Austria has revoked his honorary citizenship. Talk about a rush to judgment.”

–Jay Leno “A lawmaker in California is pushing for 13 counties to break away and form a new state called South California. Meanwhile, residents are pushing for a more fitting name: ‘North Mexico.’”

–Jimmy Fallon “While criticizing President Obama over debt talks, John Boehner said quote, ‘It takes two to tango.’ Then Biden was like, ‘Sure, but it only takes one to break dance.’”

–Jimmy Fallon “We’re three weeks from having to park our car down the street so China can’t find it, and Congress is refighting fluorescent v. incandescent light bulbs.”

–Jon Stewart “Republicans are job creationists. We know the rich create jobs. Democrats believe that jobs just EVOLVE from millions of years of stimulus packages.”

–Daily Show senior debt correspondent Wyatt Cenac

THE ZEITGEIST WITH HOWARD BARBANEL

“Eliot Spitzer’s show on CNN was canceled. So you wonder, how will the guy kill an hour?”

“The royal couple has left Los Angeles after a short visit. It’s the first time that two unemployed people from another country have come to L.A. and left.”

nosed with cancer, White becomes involved with the world of drugs and crime. At the end of season 3, Walt and Jesse (Aaron Paul) have an intense falling out.

Now they must deal with it both personally and professionally.

A DEMOCRATIC VOICE

The Reality Of National Health Care CONTINUED FROM P. A6 companies raising rates across the board to the Doctors, hospitals and other associated facilities and to you as the direct purchaser of health insurance.

So what is the solution? If we want to maintain a non-socialized medicine environment which allows for private insurance companies to operate and make profit as well as provide cost efficient medical practices

we must do the following: We must cap malpractice awards to a reasonable $10 million maximum award per occurrence with a $20 million aggregate per person in a lifetime.

For those people who cannot afford insurance, provide a pool of insurers who will provide insurance for free or at limited cost and provide the insurance companies with the tax incentives they need to join the program.

We have assigned risk insurance

for cars, why not for people.

The Federal and State governments must determine an average, reasonable cost per procedure and enforce that cost upon the providers and the insurers who pay the bill.

We must cover everyone in this country. The more in the pool, the more we spread the burden.

That’s how I see it. Let me know what you think @ davidmfreedman@yahoo.com

DEAR THAT'S LIFE

3rd Floor, Swimwear CONTINUED FROM P. A6 many years to come. The swim dress to which I am referring simply comes a little longer in the leg and a built in skirt giving the illusion of being dress-like, therefore providing greater coverage and more peace of mind.

All hail the designer of the swim dress.

The tankini, on the other hand, is genius for another reason. Basically a tank top and a bottom, this two piece bathing suit is not a bikini by any stretch of the imagination (unless your tankini is the wrong size, therefore stretching too much and leaving nothing to the imagination). Practically speaking, the tankini allows a woman to use

the facilities without the hassle of a one-piece suit. Use your imagination. As the mother of young girls, the tankini is essential. Of course, however, it does not solve all problems. Girls still have to sit down. Men should not underestimate the complex nature of taking a young girl to the bathroom, whose body is wet, the seat needing to be blanketed by some form of protective cover. Suffice it to say, it is not pretty. No further proof needed that it is truly a man’s world. Even this isn’t easy.

Walking through the water park, I wondered if some of the women before me were aware of the availability of either of these styles. Not a prize in a bathing suit myself, I am cov-

ered to ensure my own personal comfort and that of the people around me. No need to make a scene. At the same time, the itsy-bitsy teeny-weeny yellow polka-dot bikini does not look good on most people. One could argue that women with the selfconfidence to wear these bathing suits regardless of body-type deserve our applause.

On the other hand, maybe there is a time and place for everything. I am all about accepting my fellow man and woman.

But seriously: you don’t want to see my stomach and I don’t want to see yours. Trust me when I tell you, I am doing you a favor by covering up. Please return the kindness. More, in fact, is more.

LEGISLATIVE VOICE

South Sudanese and Palestinians: A Stark Contrast CONTINUED FROM P. A6 Southern Sudanese, however, never pretended that the North doesn’t exist, or shouldn’t.

The Southern Sudanese, despite everything they endured, consistently chose life over death. Not so the Palestinians.

Sudan’s willingness to accept a South Sudan would likely be markedly different today if the South Sudanese had been continually rocketing Sudanese villages with missile barrages, as Palestinians in Gaza do to Israel, and might well do from the West Bank as well if Israel were to withdrew militarily from there. The willingness of the South Sudanese, despite border skirmishes and other frictions and fracases with the North, to live peacefully along-

side the North was never seriously doubted in the North, and this endured over South Sudan’s extended autonomous period that began in 2005 with its signing of its comprehensive peace agreement with the North.

Moreover, the bias of the U.N. against Israel and Judaism is welldocumented. One need recall only its galling 1975 passage of the infamous Zionism-is-Racism Resolution, and the pre-9/11 Durban anti-Semitic hate-fest that the U.S. had to walk out on due to its vitriol. The U.N.’s extreme and unapologetic bias makes it a forum that no friend of Israel should support as a forum of choice for settling issues relating to the conflict. Ha’Aretz editors, hello!

As far as similarities between

the South Sudanese and Palestinians go, here’s one we can actually use: U.N. Security Council approval of any Palestinian entity should be a pre-condition to the U.N. General Assembly taking up any vote on the issue, just as the Security Council is taking up the issue of South Sudan’s U.N. membership prior to the corresponding vote in the General Assembly.

Presumably the U.S. Administration would be wise enough to veto any resolution in the Security Council on Palestinian statehood, which would wind up doing nothing more than serving as a pretext for more terror against Israeli civilians.

That would serve only the Palestinian goal of replacing Israel, and would do nothing to foster peaceful co-existence.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Into the Pool!

CONTINUED FROM P. A7 It is in this conundrum that I have previously suggested that local officials, who did not create the new flood zone designations, take actions and provide tax relief for the “victims” of FEMA . Not only has this not occurred, but the villages, towns and county continue to extract taxes from homeowners based on data that FEMA’s actions have obliterated. Although local officials express sympathy towards the “victims” of FEMA, these officials continue to do nothing substantive to relieve the financial burden that has been unfairly placed upon them.

Over the past few weeks in local papers were statements by Hempstead Town Supervisor Kate Murray and Councilman James Darcy. Neither makes any reference to the severe problems created by FEMA affecting thousands of their constituents. It is interesting to note that they have chosen to ignore in their statements any reference to a problem that has the potential to be an economic catastrophe for families thought the town. AS ELECTION TIME THIS YEAR APPROACHES, I URGE ALL OF MY NEIGHBORS IN THE “FLOOD ZONE” TO SEND DARCY AND MURRAY A MESSAGE AND THAT IS THAT THE TSUNAMIS ARE USUALLY MADE OF WATER BUT ON ELECTION DAY, THEY MAY LOOK LIKE BALLOTS.

Joseph B. Margolin Valley Stream

To the Editor, I wanted to thank Howard Kopel for getting involved and getting the pool hours restored.

Thank you!

Bruce Stiefel North Woodmere

Right On It! To the Editor, In a Letter to the Editor last week, one of your readers urged area residents to “MAKE SOME NOISE” about the ill-conceived, new pool schedule at North Woodmere Park (“No Time for Pool,” July 8th). While the letter writer performed a valuable community service by raising awareness about an important issue, I was reminded of the limitations of print journalism in the digital age: By the time the letter appeared in your Friday edition, the problem had already been resolved.

I received a constituent call about the new pool hours in the middle of last week, just after the pool opened for the season.

The complaint was obviously valid, and my office immediately contacted Nassau County Commissioner of Parks and Recreation Carnell Foskey to find out why the schedule was changed, and what could be done to change it back.

Commissioner Foskey traced the problem to an internal miscommunication, and immediately reinstated the original 11:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. schedule. That same day, my aides reported to my constituent that

the matter was resolved, and thanked her for bringing it to our attention.

It’s my pleasure to assist neighbors when I’m contacted. I can always be reached in my office at (516) 571-6207 or via email at hkopel@nassaucountyny.gov Have a great rest of summer.

No Excuse for No Helmet To the Editor, In response to the column that appeared in the July 8-14 edition titled “Breaking Away,” (“Zeitgeist”) I agree with many of your points. Speedos are not for anyone born in the U.S.A..

Spandex bike shirts and shorts should be strictly for Olympic athletes and yes basketball shorts that come down to the knee are a better option while biking. However, not wearing a bicycle helmet is inexcusable.

Nobody starts their day off on their bike with a lazy jaunt thru back Lawrence wanting to end up a head trauma victim, but it happens. I hate to sound like a “Debbie downer.” Wearing a helmet may not look cool and lets be honest it looks downright nerdy. However I would rather be a nerd with a helmet and not a statistic without one. Do yourself, your family, friends and readers a favor and get a helmet, It can still feel like 1975.

FIRST PERSON

A Sweet Escape for The Gluten-Free Woodmere Couple Baking Healthy Treats

BY SUSAN VARGHESE

indy Itzkowitz knows a thing or two about satisfying people’s sweet tooth, even with dietary restrictions. The New Jersey native has been baking for as long as she could remember. “ My mom was a gourmet baker and cook, and people loved to come to our house for her stuff. I use to bake carrot cake, poppy seed cake, and prune cake with her,” she recalled.

Itzkowitz, a 29-year resident of Woodmere, is the owner of Cinderella Sweets/ Shabtai Gourmet which produces kosher, gluten-free baked goods, along with peanut-free, lactose-free, caseinfree, and egg-free sweets.

“We had a Passover bakery for many years and we used to ship food for free from the bakery but on a small scale. Eventually, my husband and I opened up our own company called Shabtai Gourmet about eleven years ago,” Itzkowitz explained. “ After Passover my son Andrew kept saying, ‘why don’t we just continue doing gluten-free products year round because a lot of cus-

tomers are asking for it?”

“Gluten-free helps people who have Celiac disease, people with autism, people who have nasal congestion, who have eczema, who have psoriasis, they make their bodies feel better,” Itzkowitz said. “I’m on a gluten-free diet now, not because I have to be but because it’s healthier. I started it a month ago and I feel lighter. I definitely lost weight. My bones feel good and I’m not tired.”

“The motto is: eat dessert first!” Itzkowitz exclaimed, her cake charm earrings dangling.

She also had a silver necklace decorated with charms of cake, Cinderella, cupcakes, and pies. “ I’ve been collecting charms for a while…wherever I go, I try to find one,” she said.

Although she went to the Fashion Institute of Technology for fashion design, Itzkowitz noted that the dessert industry isn’t so far off. “This is part of creativity. I’m not designing clothes, but I’m designing cakes and sweets.

Everyday’s a challenge to make new items. We just won an award for our gluten-free chocolate baby Swiss roll. We’ve won an award for our Ring Tings, which are similar to Hostess

Shabtai Gourmet’s Rainbow Cookies Ring Dings. People thank us for the products, and it makes me feel good.”

Itzkowitz runs the company with her husband, Sidney, and said the pair met on a singles boat in Florida, “He definitely married my for my carrot cake, Ilkowitz joked. Ironically, Itzkowitz has been on the business end, while her husband takes care of the baking and manufacturing end.

For anyone aspiring to start a business or fulfill a baking niche, Itzkowitz offered a few words of advice. “You can’t expect to sleep. You need to knock on peoples’ doors and don’t rely on emails. You need to get out there and knock on their doors the old fashioned way. If they say no once, keep going, if they say no twice, keep going, and if

they say it three times…keep going.

I get turned down many of times and I don’t take no for an answer.”

Besides working and traveling to trade shows, Ilkowitz noted she tries to keep a few hobbies. “Swimming is the only way I keep my sanity. I’ve been swimming my whole life and I love to travel. I would love to go to China, that’s my Shabtai Gourmet’s Florentine Lace Cookies next step.”

For the future, Ilkowitz add- of life.”
